Man-eating old Taoist priest?
Xu Bai already knew that this person was familiar with the things in the mountains.
To be able to say the name of the man-eating old priest meant that he knew about the Taoist temple.
However, he did not say anything else and made up an excuse.
“The abbot of the Taoist temple asked me to stay for the night, but I saw that it was still early, so I didn’t stay and left directly.”Xu Bai sighed and pretended to be unlucky.””Who would have thought that the sky would turn dark so quickly that I would lose my way. Brother Ju, can you help me? I really can’t walk anymore.”
The scad stretched out its palm the size of a palm-leaf fan and rubbed its fat face, muttering,””Strange, strange. The old Taoist priest eats human flesh every day. How could he let go of such a delicacy?
However, this muttering did not last long. With just one or two sentences, the trevally quickly returned to normal.
“What line of work are you in?”
“I am a martial artist.” Xu Bai knew that the other party knew that he was a professional, so he didn’t find it strange. After all, the old Taoist priest also knew about it, so he just randomly named one.
“Oh.” The treant quickly got up.” It’s getting late. I don’t dare to walk around at night. Why don’t you go to my place? Don’t worry, I don’t eat people. You can just stay at my place for a night. It’s much easier to walk on the mountain road during the day.””
Xu Bai was still worried about how to break the situation. After hearing this, he nodded and agreed.
The trevally didn’t say anything else. It shook its fat palm and walked like a rolling ball, leading the way.
Xu Bai followed behind. His nose twitched and he sniffed the air.
He found that there was a disgusting fishy smell on the trevally, as if it had caught a boat of fish at sea and these fish had died for a long time.
However, he didn’t show it and followed behind silently.
With the fat trevally leading the way, they soon arrived at a dilapidated house.
The trevally raised its fat palm and pushed open the door in front of it.
A gust of wind blew past, bringing with it a disgusting fishy smell.
Xu Bai looked around and found that the courtyard behind the door had been dug up by many people. There was water in the pits, and there were some agile fish swimming in the water.
“I went out to look for fodder to feed the fish tonight. I didn’t expect to fall asleep on the way. Fortunately, I fell asleep. Otherwise, your journey today would be difficult.”
The trevally said as it led the way.
“However, you are really lucky. That old Taoist priest didn’t even let his daughter off. He imprisoned her in the statue and maintained the incense to lure ordinary people.”
“Oh?” “Hidden in the statue?” Xu Bai was interested.’
Of course, he still remembered the young girl who was hidden in the statue.
So now that this topic was brought up, he subconsciously asked.
The trevally stopped and turned around, a look of regret on its fat face.”His daughter is a poor person. She is sealed in a statue and has an unusual attraction to ordinary people.”
“After the old Taoist priest lured the people over, he fed them until they were white and fat. Before killing them, he threw them into the statue and did something with her daughter before killing them to make bacon.” The things they did, what they were, were definitely indescribable.
“Why do I have to do something?” Xu Bai said.
A hint of regret appeared on his face.” Don’t you think you should pay a price for a dead person entering a statue? If you don’t do this, the old Taoist priest won’t have long to live. ‘”‘
“Sigh, what a pity. When her daughter was alive, she was really handsome. At that time, I even went over to propose marriage, but after I mentioned it, her daughter died.”
Other than regret, there was no other emotion in her voice. Moreover, it was only regret that she did not succeed in the marriage proposal.
Cheng didn’t continue. He took Xu Bai to a room and pushed the door open. Then he added,””You can stay here for the night. I’ll take you away tomorrow morning. Oh right, don’t run away secretly. There are many strange things in this mountain.
After saying this, the jack didn’t seem to want to have too much communication with Xu Bai. It turned around and left.
Xu Bai didn’t say anything else. After closing the door, he lit the oil lamp on the table.
Compared to the Daoist temple, the layout of this place was much worse.
There was a bed, a table, and a chair.
Xu Bai calculated the information in his mind. The most important thing was the information about this fat man.
However, after calculating for a while, there were no clues.
After thinking for a while, Xu Bai raised his index finger and drew a line in the air.
A golden compass appeared and spun in the air.
Feng Shui counts!
This time, he wanted to test his luck.
As his True Core Strength surged, the needle on the compass began to spin crazily. In an instant, a feeling of uneasiness circled in Xu Bails heart.
Fierce!
Great misfortune!
Not only that, but the frantically spinning needle showed that Feng Shui could not be calculated.
“I knew there was no free lunch here.”Xu Bai waved his hand to disperse the golden compass. He then took out the Heart Asking Technique from his chest pocket and continued to check the progress bar.
He did not panic at all. Since he had already fallen into the trap, he would adapt to the situation. As the saying went, he would deal with the situation as it came.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and Xu Bai was getting more and more engrossed in the progress bar.
The golden progress bar was slowly increasing..
