Chapter 8 Taiping Temple, Taoist Baiyun

This was Ding Yi's first time out of the village.

He was very curious about everything around him, and even took out the quicksand map and began to verify it one by one.

"This quicksand map is really magical. Not only is the route clearly marked, but even some herbs will dynamically display their locations."

Ding Yi secretly took out the quicksand map from time to time to take a look, and he became more and more satisfied with the effect of the enhanced quicksand map.

But soon, Ding Yi couldn't laugh anymore.

He found that the direction the team was walking was exactly towards the red cross marked on the quicksand map.

Suddenly, a bad premonition came to Ding Yi's mind.

"Fuck, no way, I won't be so unlucky, right?"

Ding Yi was frightened by his own thoughts, but he didn't dare to sneak away at the last minute. After all, according to the old man leading the team, every time he went to the Taoist temple, he could not only exchange fresh lamp oil, but also a certain amount of dried meat. This is the reason why every villager can survive in the village until now.

Ding Yi only had one oil lamp at home. Although this oil lamp was more effective and lasted longer, it was used up once it was used up, and it could not be replenished through secondary strengthening.

Therefore, Ding Yi had to go to this Taoist temple.

Second, although Ding Yi was at the end of the team, he always felt that the villagers in front of him were staring at him, and he looked back from time to time to see if anyone was left behind, which meant that Ding Yi had no room to escape.

"Let's take it one step at a time. It shouldn't be a big problem, otherwise the people of Xiaotan Village would have been wiped out eight hundred times."

Ding Yi took a deep breath and suppressed his uneasiness, but he was more cautious. At the same time, he pressed the wooden board in the package, and he felt a little comforted.

The scenery outside the village did not seem to be abnormal, and even flocks of birds flew by from time to time, which seemed full of vitality.

From time to time, vegetation of different heights appeared on both sides of the road, and the sound of streams could be heard faintly in the distance, which made Ding Yi doubt whether his experience last night was an illusion.

Why is it so normal here during the day?

But Ding Yi had no one to ask, so he could only suppress his doubts in his heart and just tried his best to observe everything around him.

The group walked for most of the day, and they took a collective rest during the period, but they set out again soon.

Finally, before sunset, the group came to a small hill.

Looking at the hill covered with dense vegetation in front of him, Ding Yi swallowed his saliva unconsciously. The reason was that the place in front of him was exactly the position marked with a red cross on the quicksand map!

"Murphy's Law, what you fear will come."

Ding Yi's mouth was a little bitter, but seeing that the team in front had already started to go up the mountain, the sky around was gradually getting dark. At this moment, he didn't dare to stay there at all, and hurriedly followed those people to the mountain.

From the experience of most of the day, it is relatively safe in the wild during the day, but at night, it is hard to say.

And the place called the Taoist temple by everyone really looks like a Taoist temple.

Ding Yi followed everyone to climb halfway up the hillside and saw this Taoist temple standing on the mountainside.

I don't know if the red cross on the quicksand map left a deep impression on Ding Yi. When he first saw the red-painted Taoist temple, Ding Yi not only did not feel calm, but instead felt a strange sense of uneasiness.

"Fuck."

Ding Yi gritted his teeth, and then tried to calm himself down, and then continued to follow the villagers along the path opened in the mountains.

After a while, everyone finally arrived in front of the Taoist temple.

In front of the gate of the Taoist temple stood a Taoist priest in a gray linen robe.

The Taoist priest looked about 30 years old, with a thin face. He smiled and said to the people who had just come up:

"You all came at the right time, please follow me into the temple."

Ding Yi, who was standing at the back of the team, looked at the Taoist priest, but he was muttering in his heart.

Although this Taoist priest was also thin, he was obviously more "popular" than these villagers.

But even so, Ding Yi still felt that he couldn't be careless. After all, the icons given by the quicksand map along the way were very correct, and the quicksand map marked this place with a red cross, which was definitely not accidental.

Thinking of this, Ding Yi immediately gathered his mind, pretending to be like those villagers, expressionless, and followed the team slowly into the Taoist temple from the gate.

As the last person entered, the gate of the entire Taoist temple slowly closed, making a harsh "creaking" sound under the dim sunset, which was particularly clear in the silent mountains.

The villagers of Xiaotan Village obviously came here frequently. Led by the old man leading the team, the group directly passed through the front yard of the Taoist temple and walked towards the back along the corridor on the main side.

Not long after, everyone passed through the corridor and came to the courtyard behind the Taoist temple.

Ding Yi, who was at the back of the team, had been quietly looking at everything in the Taoist temple. When he entered the backyard, he found that it was actually quite large. There were even some strange runes carved on the walls around it, but what was more eye-catching was the statue standing in the courtyard.

This statue was about three meters high and stood in the center of the courtyard. It was carved with the image of a Taoist priest, and no one knew what it had to do with the Taoist temple.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

At this moment, the old man who led the team showed an anxious and yearning look on his face, directing everyone to stand around the statue in the courtyard.

Although Ding Yi didn't know what to do next, he had no better way at the moment. He could only follow the crowd and line up around the statue in order.

When all the villagers stood in place, the Taoist who led the crowd in before touched his beard with a smile and said.

"The one who will preach this month is the master of Taiping Temple, Baiyun Zhenren. All villagers must listen carefully and understand well, and don't ruin the opportunity."

As he said, the Taoist suddenly bowed to the side, and Ding Yi realized that there was a person standing in the shadow next to him.

"I am Baiyunzi, and I will preach to you today."

With a slightly hoarse voice, an old Taoist with gray hair, narrow eyes, and eyebrows and beard over his ears walked out of the shadows, and slowly walked down the steps and came to the courtyard.

Seeing this man, the villagers, who were originally dull, became completely crazy. They all knelt down on the ground with a "thump", shouting:

"Old immortal, old immortal!!"

"Please save us, immortal!!"

Ding Yi in the crowd was shocked by this scene, but fortunately he had been paying attention to the movements around him, so he knelt down quickly, and at the same time, he kept slapping the ground with his hands, up and down, pretending to be crazy.

Just kidding, in terms of acting, he has never been afraid of anyone.

"The way of heaven has changed, all things will be killed, Greedy Wolf is too extreme, Purple Pivot Eight Turns..."

Seeing everyone like this, Bai Yun shook the dust in his hand and spoke slowly.

As Bai Yun spoke, the villagers who knelt down on the ground became more crazy, and some even banged their heads on the ground, making a dull "dong dong" sound.

"Nmd, is it that serious?"

Ding Yi looked at the surroundings with the corner of his eye. He cursed in his heart, and suddenly felt that the sound in his ears became unusually blurry, and he felt dizzy in his mind.

"Not good!"
