Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 11 An unexpected surprise
In the dark night, the moonlight shines on the door of the deserted temple.

boom!
A loud bang of a door slamming exploded in the mountains, startling countless birds.

Several figures rushed out from the deserted temple one after another.

There was a commotion among the county constables surrounding the deserted temple. The leader chopped down a constable with a knife, broke out of the encirclement, and went straight down the mountain.

Han Qin and four other Huaqing Sect disciples followed closely behind.

"Chase!"

All I heard was a loud shout from Captain Liu.

A group of detectives drew their swords in confusion and chased down the mountain.

Soon, peace returned to the deserted temple.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly, and the expression of the man who was just being chased and blocked by the crowd appeared in his mind.

"Injured a fellow disciple and stole Elder Ma's secret technique."

The words of the young Zhou Hu rang in his ears.

There's something hidden in the temple!

The defector disciple of Huaqing Sect stole the secret technique. If it were him, he would definitely not wear it on his body. The best way is to hide it in a secret place.

His sight fell on the deserted temple.

The deserted temple is the best place to hide treasures, and you can come back to get them after the storm subsides.

Li Rui's heart moved, he gritted his teeth and got out of the bushes.

Soon, he walked into the deserted temple.

Desolate, dilapidated, and overgrown with weeds, a feeling of loneliness is overwhelming. No wonder the nearby mountain people say that this place is not clean.

The Buddha statue fell down.

The stone skull of the Bodhisattva was half buried in the soil.

Li Rui was not panicked at all, because he had come here to burn incense when this temple was not yet abandoned. At that time, this temple was called Lingkong Temple.

Later, it was heard that the abbot had run away with the magistrate's sister-in-law, and his reputation became ruined, and the temple gradually fell into disrepair.

I just remember that period of history was almost dead, and then it became more and more mysterious as it was passed down.

Precisely because he has experienced so much, Li Rui is skeptical about many legends about gods and ghosts.

Li Rui shook his robe.

A small cloth bag fell into his hand.

After untying the rope tied to the cloth bag, a bag of white ash appeared in front of him. This thing was called chalk ash.

In the previous life, it also had a scientific name - lime.

As a groom, it's normal for him to carry some lime with him, right?
Li Rui grabbed a handful of lime and scattered it on the ground.

Soon, the footprints that were not visible before gradually became clear.

"There is a way!"

Li Rui's eyes lit up.

If you learn math, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid to travel around the world. The ancients were not deceiving us!

He scattered ashes along the direction of the footprints and soon came to a remote incense hall. This was not the main hall, but a side hall.

There were no signs of a fight.

Obviously, the Huaqing Sect disciple was not in the main hall where the battle was taking place, but came to this side hall first.

What are you doing in the side hall?
Let’s first rule out burning incense to the Goddess of Childbirth in the temple. The only possibility is of course hidden treasure!
Suddenly.

Li Rui's heart was pounding.

He just wanted to try his luck at first, but he didn't expect to actually get a treasure!

After searching in the side hall for a while.

At last.

He fished out something wrapped in oil paper from a small hole below the statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth.

Li Rui's pupils dilated slightly.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be the secret method mentioned by those Huaqing Sect disciples.

He didn't have time to look at it any more, so he quickly put the oil paper in his arms, then left a branch and swept away all the lime that had been spilled on the ground until no trace was left. Only then did he leave with satisfaction.

"Damn it, he still let that guy escape." In the valley.

Zhu Yue covered his lower abdomen in frustration and said angrily.

Han Qin and the others didn't look very happy either. Even after using the magic weapon talisman, Xu Hua was still able to escape.

At this time.

Li Rui came out of the forest leading four Ferghana horses.

Zhu Yue looked at Li Rui who was safe and sound, and was a little surprised: "Old Li, where did you go just now?"

Li Rui: "Master, I heard the sound of fighting just now, so I led the horse to a secluded place."

"You're quite smart."

Zhu Yue nodded and said, "If you hadn't taken the horse away, and the Ghost Sect saw us, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to save the horse."

Ghost Cult?!

Hearing these three words, Li Rui suddenly felt a sense of fear.

If he hadn't hidden the horse out of caution, he would have been in trouble.

Zhou Hu also looked unwilling: "Xu Hua actually colluded with the Ghost Cult's people, it's really abominable. If it weren't for the Ghost Cult's people's support, maybe Junior Sister Jiang's magic weapon talisman would have arrested Xu Hua."

Compared with Zhu Yue and Zhou Hu, Han Qin and Jiang Yan were much calmer.

Han Qin still had a smile on his face: "Let's report this to the elders first. The Ghost Sect is very powerful and it is not something that the four of us can handle."

"Brother Han is right."

Zhou Hu is now convinced by Han Qin.

Previously, it had been rumored in Huaqing Sect that this Senior Brother Han was timid by nature. The reputation of "Senior Brother Han who beats up the old and weak" was extremely well-known, and he only ever accepted missions that were one level lower than his own strength.

But today, Han Qin used the Luoying Sword to restrain Xu Hua. If it weren't for Senior Brother Han's intervention, even if he had the magic weapon talisman, he would have no chance to use it.

"Senior Brother Han seems to be much more powerful than the rumors say."

Even Jiang Yan, who had a high vision, looked at Han Qin with admiration.

After practicing evil skills, his combat capability is far beyond that of ordinary martial artists. The fact that Han Qin could fight Xu Hua on equal terms shows his strength. He is a leader among the talented disciples of Huaqing Sect.

The four people from Huaqing Sect were discussing calling for reinforcements.

Li Rui's thoughts flew back to fifty years ago.

At that time, my predecessor fled to Qinghe and sold myself to the Zhu family. There was only one way for him to escape from his slavery, and that was to join the Ghost Sect.

At that time, the Ghost Sect was not called the Ghost Sect, but the Equality Society.

The teachings of this society are very evil.

Don’t worship gods, worship yourself.

Li Rui judged based on his experience in his previous life that if three generations were destroyed, he would rather sell himself than join the Equality Society.

As for why the imperial court defined it as a cult and changed its name to Ghost Cult.

That's because the Equality Society was the state religion of the previous dynasty.

However, the previous dynasties had been destroyed for a thousand years.

Unless the president of the Equality Society is named Murong and has a beautiful cousin named Wang, he would definitely not be so crazy as to think about restoring the country.

Over time, the Ghost Cult faded out of official sight and only operated secretly among the people.

As for why Li Rui felt that the Ghost Sect was dangerous.

It’s not that these people are really green-faced, fang-toothed yakshas as the rumors say, but since some time ago, the people of the Guiming Sect have been practicing evil skills.

Xietongsixian means not taking the right path.

The reason why the right path is the right path is because it is safe and stable, and has been verified by our ancestors for thousands of generations.

Although taking the evil path is fast, the risks are also high. One may easily go astray and eventually become a madman who goes out on the streets and hacks people. There are many members of the Ghost Cult who do this.

Although the mentally ill are also punished in this world, Li Rui has no intention of risking his own life to verify it.

Just as his thoughts were drifting.

Han Qin and others have finished their discussion.

Zhu Yue ordered him, "Old Li, go back home."
