Still twenty or thirty feet away from the temple, Horse Face's footsteps suddenly stopped.
"Senior Horse Face, the ghost we have to deal with is in this temple, right?" Shen Luo also stopped, looked at the temple not far away, and asked.
Soul-Snatching Horse-Face didn't turn around or speak, he just nodded.
"Then why don't you leave? Could it be that the ghosts in this temple are very troublesome?" Shen Luo said this, but he was not too worried.
According to previous observations at Zhenhuai Bridge, although the current Soul-Snatching Horse-Face cultivation level cannot be compared with that of a thousand years later, it is at least Late Fasting Stage. As for whether it has reached Soul Condensation Stage, he cannot yet judge. In addition, as a sinister person, he is especially good at subduing ghosts. As long as the ghosts in the temple do not reach Soul Condensation Stage, there should be no problem.
"It's just a Fasting Stage ghost. It's just that this animal has some intelligence and is good at hiding. As soon as it senses my approach, it immediately avoids it. I also have a headache, so I asked you to help." Soul-Snatching Horse-Face said and turned around, giving Shen Luo a meaningful look.
"Hey! Do you want me to lure it out? It may not be great for you, but it is different for me. I only have Qi Refining Stage!" Shen Luo couldn't help shouting.
"Why are you so anxious before I finish speaking? Listen, you go into the temple first, lure the ghost out, and when it gets close to you, activate this talisman to temporarily trap it. I will show up immediately and kill it." Soul-Snatching Horse-Face rolled his eyes, took out a black talisman from his arms, and handed it over.
A spider web-like pattern is engraved on the talisman, emitting a faint wave of Magic Power.
"Aren't you still treating me as bait? What if this talisman doesn't work by then, or if the ghost isn't trapped and you show up a moment and a half too late, then I'll be in danger! Otherwise, can you give me some more self-defense?" Shen Luo took the black talisman and muttered.
"Don't think that I don't know the situation in the world because I'm a shady. You kid accepted the mission from the government, right? A Fasting Stage ghost, a reward is indispensable! There is a saying in the world that wealth can be obtained through risk. Since you want a reward, how can you not take some risks?" Soul-Snatching Horse-Face snorted and said angrily.
"Okay, then you must do it quickly!" Seeing this situation, Shen Luo had no choice but to bite the bullet and agreed.
"Don't worry." After Soul-Snatching Horse-Face finished speaking, his figure flickered and disappeared without a trace as if it melted into the air.
Shen Luo took a deep breath and put a piece of Ghost-Expelling Talisman on his chest. Then he squeezed the black talisman with one hand, took out Ghost-Howling Ring with the other hand and held it in front of him, then stepped forward.
This seemingly short distance felt like he had walked through thousands of mountains Wan Shui, almost stopping every three steps and every five steps, looking around from time to time. The closer he got to the door of the temple, the more nervous he became, for fear that the ghost would suddenly appear and he would not have time to react, Horse Face would have no time to show up.
This is a real Fasting Stage ghost, and it is different from the peak Qi Refining Stage female ghost that I dealt with not long ago. After all, once the ghost enters Fasting Stage, its strength will be completely different from Qi Refining Stage. If I am not careful, I will not be able to take advantage of it.
And judging from the amount of the reward, this ghost is probably not as simple as Early Grain-Bigug Stage, otherwise Lin and Du Families would not have sent out more than ten people and suffered heavy casualties. He did not think that he could stop the opponent with just his Minor Thunder Talisman and Ghost-Howling Ring.
Even if he has Falling Thunder Talisman with him, he may not be guaranteed to hit the opponent with one blow. Besides, it is his trump card and he doesn't want to use it casually.
Just when Shen Luo was about seventeen or eighty feet away in his wild thoughts, suddenly a gust of night wind blew by, making the weeds at the entrance of the temple rustle.
Shen Luo's heart suddenly trembled, and he quickly raised the black talisman and Ghost-Howling Ring in his hands at the same time, aiming at the grass ahead. After waiting for a long time, there was no difference in the grass ahead, it was just a false alarm.
"Forget it, it's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. Let's fight!" Shen Luo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, calmed himself down, then took a breath and walked forward quickly, and soon arrived at the entrance of the temple.
The entrance door of this temple is very wide, and two doors that are about to collapse hang diagonally and are dangling.
Shen Luo raised his hand and pushed, there was a loud noise, the door swayed a few times, but did not open, and it seemed to be locked inside.
Just as he was about to increase his strength, a voice came from inside. "Who is coming?"
Shen Luo was startled when he heard this. Didn't it mean that there were ghosts hiding here? Many people had died. How come there were people inside?
While thinking about it, he held Ghost-Howling Ring tightly and said nothing.
A sound of footsteps approached from inside, the door opened with a creak, and a monk wearing a yellow robe appeared inside. He looked to be in his early twenties, very young, but his expression was a bit dull. He looked Shen Luo over and asked:
"This is the donor?"
"As far as I know, this temple has been abandoned for a long time, and there are no monks living there, and there have been ghosts here in recent days. How dare you stay here, aren't you afraid of death?" Shen Luo also looked at the young monk for a few times, and after confirming that there was no ghost on him and that he was a living person, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a deep voice.
"Haunted, haunted? The young monk just came to Jianye City yesterday and posted orders in this deserted temple. I have never heard that this place is haunted." The young monk said in a panic.
"My master Jianye Bai Family is here to collect ghosts under the orders of the government. If you want your life, leave here quickly." Shen Luo frowned and said again.
"It turns out to be Master Immortal. I'm going to call the two senior brothers and leave here immediately..." After hearing this, the young monk bowed to him, turned around and ran away.
Shen Luo ignored him and stepped into the temple on his own. Perhaps because he saw a living person, he felt a little relieved.
From here, you can see that there is an open space similar to a square and a long-dried lotus pond. The Great Dao leading to Hall of Heavenly Kings has long been covered with various weeds. The bell tower, drum tower and even the corridor on both sides have almost collapsed. The farther places are blocked and cannot be seen clearly. However, from the looming eaves and corners in the distance, the temple is by no means small.
Shen Luo paused at the door for a while, then stepped into the temple.
He stood in front of the square and looked around for a few times. He didn't feel the ghost's breath, so he couldn't help frowning, and he was a little worried about how to attract the ghost.
Make some noise to attract the other person's attention?
He quickly shook his head and rejected the idea. With the intelligence and cunning of this ghost, if the other party felt that he was deliberately setting a trap, he might not come out.
The best thing to do is to pretend to be an ordinary explorer and lure the other party to take the bait.
