Sun Cheng returned to the battlefield and looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground. He snorted coldly.
Not long after, the dozens of Mountain Bandits he had killed were quickly absorbed into his Inner world and turned into nutrients to nourish it.
With the sins they had committed, they were not worthy of reincarnation.
After dealing with the corpses of the Mountain Bandits, Sun Cheng looked around. There were still some chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep that had been snatched by the Mountain Bandits.
He didn't care about the animals and let them escape.
However, Sun Cheng was a little concerned about those wooden boxes.
He walked over and checked a few wooden boxes. When he opened them and saw that they were all silver coins, coppers, and gold and silver jewelry, his interest was immediately lost.
Sun Cheng kept the wooden boxes into his inner world. Although he was greedy, he had a way of obtaining them.
Sun Cheng was prepared to send the ill-gotten gains that had been looted by the Mountain Bandits to his second granduncle when he returned to Shangxiang Town.
He opened a porridge shop in town to save the victims. The wealth that these mountain bandits plundered was suitable for the victims.
Although he had just experienced a great battle, Sun Cheng did not feel tired at all.
He had already cultivated to the Qi Transformation Stage, and his body had already condensed a stream of Genuine Qi that was constantly flowing through the acupoints all over his body.
The zhenqi only circulated a few times in his body, and Sun Cheng felt comfortable all over. He didn't feel tired at all.
At this time, the moon was on the branch, and it was already three or four o'clock in the morning.
Sun Cheng listened to the wild foxes gathering in the surrounding forest, and his expression was very solemn.
There were demons and monsters in the Great Spirit Illusion World, and he had just started cultivating.
Although he was already at the Qi Transformation stage, he could not help but feel that his second granduncle did not teach him the Dao techniques of Mao Mountain.
Thus, if they really encountered ghosts, they would have to rely on their martial arts to deal with them.
Sun Cheng didn't want to gamble with his life, so he immediately started searching around.
In the past few years, he had already searched the area around Shangxiang Town.
He knew that there was a local temple not far away, so he immediately jogged over.
It was unknown whether it was late at night and the Yin Qi was getting heavier.
Or was he being targeted by something dirty?
Not long after he left the forest, Sun Cheng felt a chill on his back, which actually slowed down the circulation of the zhenqi in his body.
Sun Cheng knew that this was bad, so he sped up.
Not long after, he vaguely saw a low brick building in front of him that was only one meter tall.
At the same time, the coldness on his back dissipated!
Sun Cheng knew that they had arrived at the Earth Temple.
Only then did he turn around and look behind him.
What entered his eyes was a pair of fierce and glowing eyes in the darkness. Those eyes glared at Sun Cheng with some unwillingness and let out a sharp and shrill cry before turning around and disappearing into the darkness.
"It's a leopard cub…"
Sun Cheng recalled a legend in the area. It was said that an old Dragon Li had become a spirit. In the past few decades, it had been discovered more than once by the villagers nearby. It would haunt the graveyard at night.
Later, the villagers discovered that every grave where it had appeared and stayed had a deep hole dug out, and the coffins buried below had a hole punched out.
It was obvious that the beaver had become a spirit and was eating dead people's flesh in the coffin to cultivate.
It must have been attracted by the blood when he killed the Mountain Bandits just now.
Sun Cheng immediately felt some lingering fear in his heart. This raccoon dog had clearly become a demon a long time ago.
After living for decades, he probably had some cultivation that he could not deal with now.
At that moment, his desire to cultivate the Dao became even more urgent.
Seeing that he could no longer hear the wild fox's miserable cries in the darkness, Sun Cheng knew that this Earth Temple had protected him.
He reached into his clothes and took out a handful of high-grade sandalwood from his inner world.
Sun Cheng lit a few of them with a match fire and respectfully bowed to a wooden statue worshiped in the local temple.
Then, he inserted the sandalwood incense into the incense burner. His beating heart gradually calmed down.
This Earth Temple was built with donations from the villagers nearby. The Earth Duke worshiped inside was called Zhang Gengnian, a scholar who was quite famous for his filial piety in the village at the end of the previous dynasty.
It was said that Zhang lost his father when he was younger and was raised by his mother.
Later on, when his mother grew old, he returned to his hometown to build a private school in order to support his mother.
Other than teaching the children nearby to study, it was also convenient for them to support their mothers.
In the future, most people might not think much of this.
However, in ancient times, filial piety was the most important.
Although that Gengnian didn't have any great achievements in his life, the most important thing he left in the county annals was only donating a few taels of silver to repair the dirt road for the villagers.
However, due to his filial piety, the villagers erected a Merit Monument and a Longevity Token for him after his death.
Later on, when the villagers wanted to build a local temple, they even established a golden body for him and worshipped him as the local god to protect the area. It was quite magical.
After being worshipped by several generations for hundreds of years, this local god seemed to have some magical qualities.
At least in the past few years, Sun Cheng would occasionally spend the night in the wilderness. As long as he found a temple or a mountain temple, he would have a peaceful night.
He found some withered branches nearby and lit them with a match fire. He then scattered some herbs that could dispel snakes and insects in the fire. He sat cross-legged at the side and began to cultivate.
Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, a night had passed.
Sun Cheng opened his eyes when he heard more birds chirping around him. He saw a touch of orange-red in the east. The sky was about to brighten.
When he looked in front of him again, the bonfire had long been extinguished.
Sun Cheng stood up and took out a few more sandalwood incense sticks to light. He bowed to the statue in the temple and inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner.
Only then did he get up and move toward a nearby mountain.
