“Hmph!” Grandma Wu snorted, not worried at all. “Don’t worry. We’re going to pay our respects to the Mountain God. He won’t dare to stop us.”
At that moment, Tang Li also glanced at the man standing beside the thatched house.
‘The man looked at them coldly, looking completely different from the person she remembered before.
Tang Li suddenly gave him a mocking smile and continued walking into the mountain.
After the group of people left, the man quickly went in to get some things and took another path to catch up to them.
This mountain was not high, but it was quite winding. Many people said that the mountain here was like a coiled dragon. The Mountain Temple was situated in the middle of the valley, as if it was surrounded by a dragon’s body.
From the foot of the mountain to the Mountain Temple, it took more than an hour for the group of people to arrive.
Looking at the Mountain Temple in front of her, Tang Li raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise, ‘Why is the outer wall of this Mountain Temple different from the outer wall of other Mountain Temples?”
No matter what temple it was, it was usually painted yellow on the outer wall.
“What’s the difference?” Grandma Wu sounded a little unhappy and reminded her. “When you’re here, no matter what you see, you’d better remain respectful. Otherwise, it’ll be disrespectful to the Mountain God.”
Hearing that, Tang Li smiled and asked, “I’ve been to many famous temples in the past, and this is the first time I’ve seen one that is painted black. A master told me before that black paint is not allowed on the outer walls of a temple. That is why I ask you. Is my question disrespectful to the Mountain God?”
Grandma Wu was so angry that she choked. However, since Tang Li was already here, she was not worried that she would escape at all. She said, “This Mountain Temple has been here for more than a hundred years. How would I know even if you asked me… No one knows why.”
“That’s right. The outer wall of our Mountain Temple is this color. What’s so strange about it?”
“What a fuss!”
“I think people from big cities are always fussy about everything.”
Being made fun of by a bunch of old people, Tang Li was pissed off.
Seeing that she seemed to be angry, Mr. Li, who was standing at the side, quickly tried to smooth things over. “Miss Tang, don’t mind what they said. The elders here are all devout believers of the Mountain God, so they don’t like to hear people say disrespectful things.”
Tang Li nodded and did not say anything else.
Soon, everyone reached the door.
At that moment, the door was opened. A middle-aged man in a kasaya stood there. He first examined Tang Li without batting an eyelid. He nodded with satisfaction and revealed a charitable smile. “You must have come all the way here to ask for help. Come in.”
With that, he moved to the side to let them in.
Tang Li stood there and did not move.
Seeing that she was not moving, Grandma Wu said, “Go in. The sooner we settle your matters, the sooner we can go back. When we go in, I’ll draw a talismans for you. The talismans drawn inside the temple are blessed by the Mountain God, so they’re much more efficacious than the ones drawn outside.”
Tang Li seemed to be persuaded by her words. She nodded and walked in.
Grandma Wu followed her in.
But when the others wanted to follow her in, the middle-aged man in the kasaya suddenly raised his hand and stopped them. “Everyone, this lady has a demonic aura on her. Ordinary people will be easily injured by the demonic aura when they enter. It’s best if you guys stay outside. If this lady can’t come out
when the sun sets today, you can just go back.”
Grandma Wu stopped and turned to say to them, “She has a demonic aura on her body. She will definitely stay here for a few days. You guys don’t have to wait.”
The middle-aged man in the kasaya retreated and was about to close the door when a loud shout was heard. “Wait.”
‘When everyone saw the man walking over, they all became vigilant.
“I can’t believe he’s here. What should we do? If he takes her away forcefully, we’ll be in deep trouble.”
“We can’t let him come over.”
A group of elders walked over angrily and wanted to stop the man. The man shouted at them, “T’ll kill whoever gets in my way.”
Hearing that, the old men suddenly froze.
It was obvious that the man had attacked them before and didn’t go easy on them.
The man walked around them and reached the door.
Both Grandma Wu and the man in the kasaya looked at him ruthlessly.
“Benefactor, it’s a Buddhist temple, so I advise you to restrain your temper a little. Otherwise, if you offend the Mountain God, it won’t be good for you and your family.”
‘The man glanced at Tang Li, and his face that was covered in cysts looked even scarier.
He crossed his arms and said, “I want to enter and burn incense for the Mountain God, is that not allowed?”
The man in kasaya heard a voice in his mind. “Let him in.”
The man in the kasaya moved aside. “Come in.”
The man walked in.
Then the door was closed.
Outside the door, the group of people looked at each other with worried expressions.
“Will he cause trouble in the Mountain Temple?”
“T don’t think so. If he dares to cause trouble in the temple, the Mountain God can easily make him disappear.”
“Yes, yes. He’s just a mortal. How can he dare to fight the Mountain God?”
“So are we going to wait here?”
“Didn’t Grandma Wu say that they will take at least a few days to leave the mountain? Why don’t we go back first? When they leave the mountain, we can ask about the situation.”
“Lagree. Anyway, we won’t be able to see what’s happening inside if we wait here.”
‘As they spoke, they prepared to return.
However, not long after they left, they saw several strong men walk over in large strides.
The group of elders’ expressions instantly turned twisted by anger.
“Aren’t those the bodyguards Mr. Tang brought with him? Why are they here?”
“Grandma Wu said that they can’t come up. What if they smashed into the mountain temple to take away that girl?”
‘The more they thought about it, the more panicked they became. A group of elders with extremely bad expressions walked over to stop them and questioned loudly.
“Who asked you to come up? If that girl can’t get rid of the demonic aura on her body because of you, can you guys bear the responsibility?”
“Do you guys think we country bumpkins are easy to bully? Why don’t you listen to Grandma Wu?”
“Dammit, if you dare to come one step closer, I’ll fight you guys to the death.”
Everyone got more and more excited and angry as they spoke. They were about to hit a few bodyguards.
The bodyguards took out their daggers and looked at them coldly.
“All of you, don’t move. Otherwise, we can’t guarantee what might happen.”
The group of elders shuddered in fright. One of the elders thought that these bodyguards were just bluffing them, so he roared at them, “Kill me if you dare.”
With that, he charged at them.
In the next moment.
The bodyguard raised his hand and cut off a piece of meat on the back of the old man’s hand.
Blood splattered everywhere.
