Villager of Destiny

Chapter 36 The Temple Keeper

Ghost Mountain is very quiet, so even when I was talking to Uncle Ghost, the slight voice was amplified infinitely under the silence and became very obvious.

A vigilant look appeared on Uncle Gui's face for an instant.

My heart also raised at the same time.

It sounded like something had stepped on a weed.

Getting closer.

"Ghost boy, I have caught up with you."

The old drunkard came to us panting.

Uncle Gui and I looked at each other, without a doubt, we both saw the doubt in each other's eyes.

Old drunkard, are you really here?
Is this really an old drunkard?
I looked at the old drunkard who suddenly appeared, and subconsciously took a step back, while holding the repressor tightly, as long as I was sure that the old drunkard in front of me was a fake, I would strike without hesitation.

Uncle Gui was still calm, or he saw that I was hiding behind him, so he walked up to the old drunkard.

"who are you?"

The old drunkard glared at Uncle Gui.

"Who do you think I am, old man?"

Uncle Gui frowned slightly.

"Why did you come here suddenly?"

When Uncle Ghost said this, I saw that he also silently held the Soul Restraint Cable in his hand.

The old drunkard waved his hands and said, "That's what you said."

"But old man, I'm still a little worried."

"You kid, I watched you grow up, if something really happens..."

The old drunkard sighed, "Anyway, I'm already half buried, so it's okay to accompany you all the way."

"It's just you two."

When the old drunkard said this, he stared at me again like Uncle Ghost, "Are you deaf?"

"Old man, I have been calling you from behind for a long time, and I don't know to stop and wait?"

Hearing this, Uncle Gui glanced at me.

I didn't speak, because I couldn't tell whether the man in front of me was an old alcoholic, because what he said didn't sound like any flaws.

At least I didn't hear it.

Uncle Ghost should be the same.

After being silent for a while, he removed his hand from the soul suppressing rope, then looked at the old drunkard solemnly and said: "This ghost mountain is dangerous, you shouldn't take this risk."

The old drunkard waved his hands indifferently and said: "It's already here, you can't go down anymore, right?"

"Old man, I'm lucky. I didn't encounter any danger along the way, but it might not be so."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's go."

Uncle Ghost still had a bit of hesitation on his face, but seeing that the old drunk had already gone up the mountain first, he had no choice but to follow.

I still follow Uncle Ghost.

I don't know why, looking at the old drunkard walking in the front, I always feel that something is wrong, but I just can't see it.

I whispered, "Uncle Gui, are you sure he is really an old drunkard?"

Uncle Gui shook his head slightly and said, "I'm not sure either."

"But there should be nothing wrong."

"The resentment-generated souls in this ghost mountain probably wouldn't be able to pretend to be so real."

"Okay." I nodded, and my hanging heart sank a little.

I also don't really believe that a real soul can pretend to be so real.

Unless it is the City God here.

At that time in Niang'er Village, the city god of Niang'er Village had deceived me by pretending to be an old smoker.

But I still dismissed the idea.

I don't think it is necessary for the City God of Fengling Village to do this.

After all, what we are going to is the Temple of the City God.

So although I still felt something was wrong in my heart, I didn't think about it any more, and followed Uncle Ghost and the old drunkard to continue walking up the mountain.

Strangely enough, the rest of our journey went surprisingly smoothly.

We have not encountered the danger that Uncle Ghost said.

This made me wonder a little bit.

I asked Uncle Ghost: "Didn't you say that Ghost Mountain is very dangerous?"

"Why didn't we encounter anything?"

Hearing my question, Uncle Ghost shook his head.

Obviously, he didn't expect this situation either.

But he didn't let down his vigilance because of this, and he was holding on to the Soul Suppressing Rope and Corpse Slaying Scythe from the beginning to the end.

I looked at it and didn't ask any more questions.

Thinking about taking a step forward.

I really didn't encounter danger, and I was happy and relaxed.

Soon I saw a temple, looming in the darkness, giving people a deep and deep feeling.

Not surprisingly, it is the Temple of the City God.

Uncle Gui and I quickened our pace at the same time, but the old drunk suddenly stopped.

He turned to look at us, frowning slightly.

He didn't speak, but pointed to a place only a few meters away from us. When I looked over, my eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

I saw a tomb.

In front of the tombstone, there seemed to be a figure kneeling.

There was a cluster of fire next to the figure, and he was throwing something like paper money into it.

people?
I subconsciously looked at Uncle Ghost.

Uncle Gui has already held the soul repressing rope in his hand.

"For some years no one went up the mountain."

"Are you from Fengling Village?"

Before we moved, the figure kneeling in front of the tomb had already stood up.

It's a crooked old woman.

She turned to look at us, and in the light of the fire, I saw a pair of white eyes.

Another blind old man?

I froze for a moment.

But soon I felt something was wrong again.

Because although she looked blind, she seemed to be able to see the three of us. After those white eyes swept over us, she let out a sound of surprise.

"There are actually two village guards in Fengling Village?"

"wrong……"

She shook her head and muttered to herself, those pale eyes fell on me.

I got goosebumps all over my body when I saw it, and I just felt my scalp go numb.

At this moment, the old drunkard suddenly said, "Are you the guardian of the Town God's Temple?"

Temple keeper?
I have some doubts.

Uncle Gui seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became strange.

The old woman glanced at the old drunkard, then turned to look at the tomb again.

It was only then that I noticed that there were two words written on the tombstone of that tomb.

City God!

City God's tomb?

Seeing these two words, I couldn't help but feel chills behind my back.

I heard from Uncle Ghost that something happened to the city god of Fengling Village. Could it be that he died?

The old drunkard and Uncle Ghost seemed to understand what the old woman meant, and at the same time walked to the old woman's side and knelt down.

The old woman smiled and handed them the paper money, then glanced at me.

I couldn't help but shiver at this glance, and I didn't hesitate any longer, and I also knelt down to the side.

Only then did the old woman seem satisfied and handed me a stack of paper money.

I was full of doubts and ended up with paper money.

An abnormal cold also rushed over the moment I touched the stack of paper money, which made me shiver uncontrollably, subconsciously throwing the paper money out.

The old woman snorted coldly, and I realized that I quickly withdrew my hand.

The old woman smiled with satisfaction.

This sound gave me goosebumps all over my body.

The subconscious told me that this old woman was not simple.

But Uncle Ghost and the old smoker didn't say much. Although I really wanted to ask, I held back.
