"Men!"
"Yes!"
Zhang Qian pushed open the door and entered, kneeling on one knee.
"Pass on my orders. Prepare the carriages and bring a team of Dark Guards to Qingyuan Town in Dingzhou!”
"Yes, sir!" Zhang Qian received the order and immediately retreated to gather his men.
Ye Sheng had originally planned to go there in secret, but after thinking about it, he decided that it would be better to bring people there in public. It was good to have more people.
.............
Dingzhou, Qingyuan Town.
Deep in Mount Song.
A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, and the gloomy forest suddenly lit up with a pale light.
Boom! Boom! Thunder rumbled.
Then, raindrops fell from the sky like sifting beans, splashing on the ground.
"Ouch... Aiyo!"
"How can it rain just like that? I'm really unlucky!”
The sudden heavy rain made the mountain road very difficult to walk on. In addition, it was dark at night. Li Erlang accidentally fell.
He got up with difficulty and continued to move forward. However, the more he walked, the more panicked he became.
The torrential rain was mixed with strong winds, and there was no sign of it stopping. His physical strength was about to collapse.
"If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my life!”
Li Erlang had been gathering herbs in the mountains all year round, so he was very experienced in this aspect.
In this deep mountain wilderness, if one's physical strength was exhausted, they probably wouldn't be able to last a night.
It was now autumn and winter, and the temperature was very low. Li Erlang could already feel his entire body trembling.
As he dragged his tired body, he suddenly looked up and saw a dilapidated temple in front of him.
" A temple??" Li Erlang was confused. He rubbed his eyes hard, thinking that he was hallucinating.
He had been picking herbs on this pine mountain for many years, but he had never heard of a temple being built.
Kacha!
Another bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, dyeing the world white.
The rain became heavier.
There was no time for him to hesitate. Li Erlang walked with difficulty to the front of the temple.
"Is anyone there? Sorry to disturb you!"
Dong dong dong.
he shouted as he knocked on the door.
With a creak, the temple door was actually not closed and was directly knocked open by him.
Li Erlang's heart skipped a beat!
In such a dangerous mountain, it was definitely abnormal that the door was not closed in the middle of the night!
One had to know that there were many ferocious beasts in the mountains. If they did not close the door at night, it would not be a joke if they attracted wolves, tigers, and leopards.
However, with the thunderstorm and the cold all over his body, he couldn't think too much.
Swallowing his saliva, Li Erlang gritted his teeth and pushed the door open.
This temple was even bigger than it looked. Behind the door was a spacious courtyard with a large locust tree.
Further into the courtyard was the temple hall. Li Erlang could vaguely see a Buddha statue inside.
But what he did not expect was that there was a bald monk standing under the tree, but his expression could not be seen clearly in the darkness.
Seeing that someone was living in the temple, Li Erlang immediately revealed a happy expression.
"Excuse me, Master, I'm a herb gatherer." Unfortunately, there was a heavy rain today and it was difficult to go down the mountain. I wonder if I could stay here for the night?”
"Go in and kowtow 1000 times.”The bald monk replied coldly.
Li Erlang was stunned. He stood in the courtyard and did not react.
"What?" He looked at the other party, not knowing if he had heard wrongly.
"Go in and kowtow 1000 times.”
the bald monk repeated.
This time, Li Erlang heard it clearly. 1000 kowtows?
He felt that something was wrong. This request was too unreasonable.
He turned his head to look at the temple hall. The Buddha statue inside seemed to flicker under the weak light. The more he looked at it, the stranger he felt.
Li Erlang felt a chill in his heart and his body tensed up.
"Go in and kowtow 1000 times.”
For the third time, the monk's strange and calm voice sounded again.
Li Erlang was on the verge of breaking down. He retreated, trying to retreat out of the temple.
"I... I..." He broke out in cold sweat, his legs began to tremble, and his mind was about to go blank.
"Go in and kowtow 1000 times.”
" Ahhh
Li Erlang couldn't hold on any longer. He screamed and turned around to run.
This temple was too strange. He would rather freeze to death outside!
Boom!
Suddenly, the door of the temple hall opened.
Then, a huge suction force came.
"Ahhhh! Help!"
Li Erlang let out a shrill scream as he was sucked in.
Bang!
The door slammed shut again.
Immediately after, loud kowtows and screams came from the temple hall!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
.....
After an unknown period of time, the temple finally regained its peace.
