Wanbao Lady

Chapter 318: 1 Incense Sticks

"Look," Meng Chuan pointed at the pattern on the ground with a branch, "When you were returning to Yudu Mountain on the Jiaozhou, you ran into the enemy head-on over Anhe Prefecture, which means they just came from the south. But to the south of Anhe Prefecture is either Guangning Prefecture, Qinghe Prefecture, or Huyang Prefecture. Have you heard about the evil cultivator incidents in Guangning Prefecture and Huyang Prefecture recently?"

Hearing this, Bayan shook his head affirmatively, "No, only Qinghe Prefecture..."

The man and the bird immediately realized what was going on.

"So, there is an 80% chance that the other party is the evil cultivator who committed the face-changing murder case in Qinghe Prefecture. He was discovered and hunted by the Demon Suppression Division, and happened to meet you while escaping."

As he said this, he looked at Xia Li intently.

"You said that the other party once said something like 'I'll remember you' when they passed by. As we all know, evil cultivators are quite stubborn, so it is possible that the other party targeted you for this reason. Adding to this various factors, he chose to use your appearance to impersonate you."

Bayan's brain turned, and he immediately said: "So after the man's face-changing murders in Yinping Prefecture and Qinghe Prefecture were exposed, he now ran to Dingfang Prefecture to find the peasant woman who wanted to become beautiful, and wanted to resume his old business?"

Hearing this, Xia Li suddenly became angry.

Doing evil things in front of her face is intolerable!

She murmured, "But now the only woman who had contact with him has also had her memory wiped, and we don't know where she went! Besides, according to Pavilion Master Huang, there were no other witnesses here at the time..."

But Meng Chuan smiled mysteriously, "Just because one person doesn't know doesn't mean other people don't know!"

Xia Li:?

Ba Yan:?

-

Qingtai Town.

At this time, the sun was about to set, and people who had visited relatives and friends were starting their journey home, and the streets were bustling with people.

Coming towards them was a man and a woman, both of whom had extraordinary temperaments. They walked slowly towards the direction of the land temple, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Qingtai Town is just a small town. It's rare to see someone with such outstanding temperament. Let alone a stranger who came from nowhere.

"You two gentlemen are here to worship the God of Land, right? Buy some incense sticks!"

Beside the steps of the land temple, there was an old woman sitting. In front of her was a large backpack filled with bundles of incense sticks, some long, some short, some thick, some thin.

"This small one costs one cent, the medium one costs three cents, and this large one costs five cents. They are all made with great care and are of excellent quality."

The old woman held a handful of incense in her hand and smiled humbly but hopefully.

The young man paused and asked casually, "It's getting dark, and the old woman is still selling incense here. Aren't you afraid of having to walk the night road?"

But the old woman shook her head and sighed, "I am old now. I can walk the way home even if I am blind. What's there to be afraid of walking at night? If I don't earn more money to go back, my husband at home will have no money to treat his illness."

Hearing this, the young man nodded.

Then, like a magic trick, he took out a copper coin from his hand, handed it to the old woman, and said, "Please buy me a stick of incense."

The old woman was stunned for a moment, then said awkwardly: "Sir, why don't you buy a few more? This stick of incense, two people... this..."

Two people come to the land temple, but only buy one incense stick?

This incident immediately attracted the attention of people around.

"Looking at the way these two are dressed, they don't look that poor, do they?"

"Could it be that the little girl next to him doesn't worship the land god?"

"If you don't want to buy it, then don't buy it. But if you want to buy it, you only buy one. You are really a weird person."

Listening to the whispers of people around him, the young man turned a deaf ear and smiled without saying a word.

The old woman then looked at the girl next to the young man. The girl blushed immediately, tugged at the young man's sleeve, and whispered, "Senior, why did you buy only one?"

But the young man said as a matter of course: "One is enough, more would be bad."

The girl seemed to have thought of something, then suddenly realized and said no more.

The young man turned to look over and said with a smile, "Please, one stick of incense."

Hearing this, the old woman sighed deeply in her heart, took out a stick of incense from the handful of incense in her hand, and handed it to the young man, "Here, take it."

Although he looked a little lonely, his attitude was still good.

After handing over the money and the goods, the old woman looked down at the copper coin in her hand. She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but in a trance, a white light seemed to flash on the copper coin?

She wiped her eyes, but saw that the copper coin was still a copper coin, no different from other copper coins.

At this moment, the young man's voice suddenly reached her ears, "Old woman, take this copper coin and put it on the bedside of your spouse when you go back, and your worries will go away."

Hearing this, the old woman immediately looked up, only to find that there was no one in front of her.

Looking back, the two of them had already climbed the stairs without knowing when, and soon they stepped into the gate of the land temple.

No one was seen.

-

In the land temple of Qingtai Town.

At this moment, the temple keeper is carrying out the final cleaning and tidying up of the land temple.

By the time the altar is almost in place and the floor is swept, it will be almost dark and the day's tasks are considered completed.

At this moment, a man and a woman were seen entering the temple.

The young man in the lead was holding a stick of incense in his hand, and a handsome black bird was perched on the woman's shoulder.

Coming to burn incense at this time...

Burn incense, but two people only hold one stick of incense...

The temple keeper muttered to himself and couldn't help but stop what he was doing and take a few more glances.

But the young man lit the incense in his hand with the candle on the altar, then stared at the statue of the land god, neither worshipping nor knocking, but standing there with his eyes closed for a while.

After a moment, he opened his eyes, inserted the incense stick into the incense burner, and then said to the woman beside him: "Let's go."

Then he just walked out the door.

The temple keeper couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment and frowned.

"No, you're leaving now?"

This is too casual!

"What a weirdo..."

The temple keeper couldn't help but mutter.

But they didn't know that at this time, in the secret realm of the land temple.

The God of Land, who was comfortably absorbing the power of incense, suddenly felt a huge surge of pure incense power coming towards him.

This amount of food immediately filled his stomach so full that he almost died!

The God of Land quickly used his divine power to digest it, and it took a while for his stomach to deflate.

"Hoohoo."

I saw him shaking his hands, shakily wiping the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, his eyes filled with horror.

"A great being in the Heavenly Man Stage! He must be a great being in the Heavenly Man Stage!"

The great beings in the celestial realm came to burn incense for him!

There must be something you want to see me for.

The next moment, in the real land temple.

The temple keeper who was sweeping the temple suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing towards him, blowing his broom away.

After the wind stopped, the temple keeper seemed to suddenly realize something and became confused and uncertain.

Because, that wind was clearly blowing from the location of the statue to outside the temple!

The temple keeper was so shocked that he knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and his voice was trembling with excitement, "The land god has appeared! The land god has appeared!"

With the help of the earth veins and deliberate searching, the land god of Qingtai Town found the two people in a short while.

Then he straightened his clothes and walked quickly forward.

"Zhang Guangyuan, the land god of Qingtai Town, greets the two immortals!"
