190 “Blessing from Heavenly Official” Chapter 189

Chapter 189 The cold white ghost confuses the prince with his warm words 3

Xie Lian said coldly: “Get out of the way.”

The will-o’-the-wisp was motionless.Xie Lian said: “Why are you stopping me?”

The will-o’-the-wisp didn’t answer.The other little will-o’-wisps were still repeating “Don’t go there.”Xie Lian didn’t want to tangle with these things at all, so he waved his hand and scattered them.

It wasn’t that he was beaten to death. This palm just dispersed the will-o’-the-wisps that had formed a blocking formation, as if he had dispersed a group of fireflies or small goldfish.

Xie Lian passed quickly, causing the dead branches and leaves on the ground to make a soft sound. However, when he looked back, the will-o’-the-wisps quickly followed, and it looked like they were about to form another formation.Xie Lian warned: “Don’t follow me.”

The brightest and hottest will-o’-the-wisp flew in front, turning a deaf ear. Xie Lian raised his hands as if to strike, and said fiercely: “Follow me again, or I’ll beat you to death!”

Such a threat made many will-o’-the-wisps frightened, fluttering, shrinking and retreating.The leader of the will-o’-the-wisp froze in the air for a moment, still following him less than five steps away, making Xie Lian feel that it seemed to be saying “it doesn’t matter if the soul is gone”, or that it knew that Xie Lian would not really hit it.

Xie Lian suddenly felt angry for no reason.In the past, when he shouted, which kid would dare to pester him again?They had long since dispersed with their tails between their legs.Now, not only did everyone dare to trample on him at will, but even this little will-o’-the-wisp didn’t listen to him and didn’t take his threats seriously. He was so angry that his eyes turned red and he murmured: “…even a brat like you is like this…all of them are like this…no one is not like this!”

It’s a bit funny to be so angry over such a trivial matter, but Xie Lian is really full of resentment at the moment.Unexpectedly, after he murmured these words, the will-o’-the-wisp seemed to understand that he was angry and sad now, and froze in the air, no longer moving forward, and slowly retreated with hundreds of little will-o’-the-wisps.After a while, they all disappeared into the night.

Xie Lian let out a breath, turned around and continued moving forward.

After seven or eight hundred steps, several cornices appeared faintly in the mist ahead, like an ancient temple deep in the mountains.Xie Lian walked closer, took a closer look, and his eyes widened slightly.

This is actually… a Prince’s Temple.

Naturally, it is the dilapidated Prince’s Temple.It had been looted by thugs long ago, and the plaque fell to the ground and broke in half.Xie Lian paused for a moment at the door of the temple, stepped over the broken plaque, and entered the temple.The statues in the temple have also disappeared long ago. It is unknown whether they were smashed, burned, or sunk into the sea. The altar is empty, leaving only a charred base.The words “Body in the world, heart in the paradise” on both sides were scratched twenty-seven or eight times, as if a good beauty had been scratched on the face with a knife. She is no longer beautiful, and is sinister and hideous.

Xie Lian calmed down and sat down in the palace, waiting for Bai Wuxiang to appear.After burning the incense, a figure appeared in the mist outside the temple.

However, the shape of this figure is wrong, not as leisurely and content as Bai Wuxiang; the footsteps are also wrong, more rapid, not as quiet as Bai Wuxiang.Therefore, the person who came was definitely not Bai Wuxiang, nor anyone he knew.

So, who could it be?

Xie Lian was extremely vigilant. He didn’t see his appearance clearly until the man rushed to the Prince’s Temple.However, unfortunately, the person who came here did not match all his guesses – no matter how you looked at it, he was just a passerby, with no clues.

But Xie Lian still hasn’t let down his guard. Who knows if it could be Bai Wuxiang’s disguise?

In the barren mountains and ruins of the Taoist temple, I suddenly met someone. Xie Lian was wary of the other person, and the other party was also wary of Xie Lian.After a long while, he tentatively asked: “This… Taoist Priest? Do you know where this place is?”

Xie Lian frowned slightly, raised his head and said, “You don’t know where this place is? Then how did you get here?”

The man said: “I’m lost! I walked around for a long time and couldn’t get out.”

Xie Lian knew that he was definitely not lost. If this person was not Bai Wuxiang in disguise, then he was probably abducted by something.

He said: “Stop turning around, you can’t get out.”

“What? What did you say?”

Xie Lian stopped answering and continued to meditate.If Bai Wuxiang came here by force, there is no point in rushing. If he doesn’t let everyone go, there is no way to leave. It is better to wait quietly and see what he wants to do.

The man was also tired from running and sat aside to rest. The two of them were at peace with each other.After a while, another figure appeared in the mist. When he walked to the temple, he was also a puzzled passerby. Seeing someone in the temple, he quickly came up to him and said, “Two brothers! May I ask, where is this place?”

The two passers-by started chatting, and Xie Lian had a premonition.

This is not over yet.There will be people coming.

Sure enough, in less than an hour, dozens of people came to the Prince’s Temple one after another.There are people of all ages, men and women, either alone, in twos or threes, or with families. Most of them are lost, but the ways of getting lost are all kinds of strange. Some even get lost here while walking on the street, which is very incredible.Inside, Xie Lian also saw the busker who insisted on having a chest-breaking competition with him before. His face was not good, and it seemed that the last competition really caused him to be seriously injured. The two of them looked at each other, said nothing, and nodded.

Obviously, these are all ordinary people, and they were all brought to this remote mountain and forest intentionally by Bai Wuxiang!

The alarm bells in Xie Lian’s heart were getting louder and louder, but he remained calm. He took out a cold steamed bun from his sleeve and took a bite, chewed hard, and swallowed hard.He wanted to conserve his energy as much as possible to deal with the possible battle that would come later.

Two hours later, the Prince’s Temple was crowded with people who had “lost their way” inside and outside. Xie Lian secretly checked that there were about a hundred people.No one can get out of this forest.

As soon as there were more people, the scene became noisy, and everyone was talking: “You came here out of nowhere too? This is really weird!”

Someone suggested: “How about we look for it again?”

Someone immediately agreed: “Let’s go, let’s go. I don’t believe it. There are so many people and no one can leave!”

Xie Lian, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly raised his head and said, “It’s useless no matter how you walk. You can’t get out.”

Everyone looked at him: “Why?”

Xie Lian said coldly: “Because you were all led here by a monster. You are all his toys. Will he let you go so cheaply?”

“…”

Some people think he is alarmist, some think he is talkative, and some think he should not be underestimated.One person stood up and said, “Who are you? Why do you say that?”

“He seemed to be the first one here. He was sitting here when I came.”

“Weird…”

“Yes, and still covering his face.”

“Do you have any credentials?”

Xie Lian said softly: “There is no proof. Whether you believe it or not, the monster definitely didn’t invite you here to treat you to dinner. Be careful and I don’t need to say more.”

As soon as he finished speaking and no one responded, there was a sound of fast running footsteps in the distance.Everyone’s spirits were immediately lifted and they said: “Someone is here again!”

Even though some people wanted to go out and have a look, they quickly slipped back after walking out of the temple gate.Because, along with the sound of running, there were bursts of crazy shouts!

This cry was simply not like a human being could make it. Everyone’s expressions changed drastically, and they all retreated to the temple, saying: “My mother, who is this person? Isn’t it some kind of wild beast?!”

The figure in the mist was getting closer and closer, Xie Lian narrowed his eyes and said: “No, that is indeed a person!”

However, the man was howling loudly and covering his face with his hands as he ran this way.Seeing that he was about to run into the Prince’s Temple, Xie Lian squeezed out of the crowd and stood on the outside to see what was going on. However, the man seemed to have no eyesight and hit a tree at the entrance of the Prince’s Temple. With a “Bang!”, he was bounced back a foot on the spot and fell to the ground and passed out.

Everyone was shocked and crowded in the temple, stretching their necks and saying anxiously: “…What…what’s going on with this man?”

Including the busker, there were a few bold people who wanted to check, but Xie Lian immediately said: “Don’t come close!”

Several people were startled by his stern tone again and said, “What should we do? Just let him lie there?”

Thanks for the pity: “I’ll just go and see it.”

Everyone said: “Then you should be more careful?”

Xie Lian nodded, slowly approached the tree, squatted down, and was about to move the man’s hand away, but the man suddenly jumped up and let out two screams.

Yes, exactly two screams.Moreover, they were two sounds made at the same time.One came from the man’s mouth, and the other came from his face – there was a face on this man’s face!

Human face epidemic!

Xie Lian immediately got goosebumps all over his body, his pupils shrank suddenly, and everyone in the temple was also stunned by this horrific scene.After the man bounced up, he opened his hands and was about to rush towards a crowded place. Thanks to Xie Lian’s quick eyes and quick hands, he struck out with a palm, and the man with the facial disease was immediately sent flying several feet away.Xie Lian quickly took a few steps back and stopped at the entrance of the temple. The people behind him were horrified and said: “Isn’t this disease only found in the Imperial City? So many people have died in the Imperial City, isn’t this disease already extinct?!”

“It’s fake, isn’t it real?! That’s really a human face?!”

What was even more frightening was that at the next moment, more screams came from all directions, and more than a dozen figures staggered towards the Taizi Temple.

You don’t need to look to know that they are all patients with human-to-human coronavirus disease!

Someone shouted: “Everyone, run! Disperse! Don’t be approached by them!!!”

Xie Lian shouted: “Don’t spread out! I don’t know how many there are in the forest!! If there are more outside, it will be over!”

“Then what should we do?!” “We can’t wait for them to catch turtles in the jar!” “Isn’t this waiting for death?!”

The branch he had broken off on the road had been pinned to Xie Lian’s waist. He pulled it out and held it like a sword at an angle, saying: “Don’t worry, they can’t come over. Of course it’s me who has the final say on whether we can get close to here!”

This is his territory, the Prince’s Palace!

“You…”

Without waiting for anyone to ask any more questions, Xie Lian flew out, “brushed” a few branches, and instantly knocked those people with facial disease to the ground. This was not a difficult task for Xie Lian at all. As expected, none of these weirdos could get close to him.Everyone in the temple was panting and frightened. Seeing his victory, they all cheered and thanked God loudly.And at some point, many will-o’-the-wisps swam in the night sky of the forest, dancing wildly in the sky. I wonder if they were helping to drive away those people suffering from the human-to-human disease. Anyway, Xie Lian felt that they were not in their way.After sweeping the circle, he habitually put the sword back into its sheath. After a while, he realized that what he was holding was not a sword but a branch. He was embarrassed for a moment. The next moment, he saw a white figure not far away waving to him.Xie Lian had just fought a round and was in a state of excitement. He immediately chased after him: “Don’t even think about escaping!”

The group of will-o’-the-wisps rushed up after him, as if they were lighting the way forward for him.Bai Wuxiang naturally didn’t want to run away. He walked neither fast nor slow, very calmly, but he was always seven or eight steps ahead of him.Xie Lian chased for a few steps, then his heart lit up and he immediately turned back.Seeing that he stopped chasing, Bai Wuxiang refused to leave and said, “Why don’t you follow?”

Xie Lian turned around and said: “You just want to lure me away and spread the human-to-human epidemic again. Why should I follow you and let you succeed?”

Bai Wuxiang smiled and said: “No, you are wrong. My purpose is not to ‘lead you away’, my purpose is you.”

Although he had a sad and happy face and no expression could be seen at all, but for some reason, Xie Lian could feel that he was smiling.

It does not make sense to sway the tiger away from the mountain. If Bai Wuxiang wants to spread the human epidemic again, he can do it anywhere in the world. Xie Lian can’t stop him at all. Why must he spread it in the mountains?

Xie Lian paused and said: “Then what do you want to do?!”

He asked this question countless times and was almost losing his patience.Bai Wuxiang said: “I said, I want you to come to my side.”

Xie Lian pulled out a branch and pointed it at him. Although this was not a deterrent at all and seemed a bit funny, it was the only weapon in his hand at the moment.Fortunately, a particularly bright will-o’-the-wisp fell on the front of the branch, which still added a bit of momentum to him.Xie Lian sternly said: “What do you want me to do with you? Do you want your life?”

Bai Wuxiang chuckled a few times and said warmly: “Your Highness, you are a beautiful jade, let me teach you.”

“…”

Xie Lian was funny and angry at the same time. He couldn’t help but spat: “How dare you teach me? My master is the master of Xianle Kingdom. Who are you! Where did you come from as a monster!”

Bai Wuxiang stretched out a finger, shook it, and said: “You are wrong again. Your Highness, it should be said that in this world, I am the only one qualified to teach you. Your master? Xianle Guoshi?”

His tone became arrogant for no reason, and he said: “In front of me, this kind of thing is not worth mentioning at all. On the contrary, I taught you, and you learned very well.”

Xie Lian said angrily: “What did you teach me? What the hell are you talking about? I don’t understand it at all!”

Bai Wuxiang laughed and said, “The first thing I teach you is: there are many things in the world that you are powerless to do.”

Hearing this, many chaotic sounds and images flashed through Xie Lian’s mind.Finally, he gritted his teeth and stabbed out with his “sword”. Bai Wuxiang easily dodged it and said: “The second thing -”

He grabbed Xie Lian, causing Xie Lian to stagger and almost fall. He felt a hand touch the top of his head and said: “Do you want to save the common people? The common people don’t need to be saved by you at all. They don’t deserve it.”

Xie Lian’s movements stagnated again, and he slapped the hand away and stabbed him with his backhand.With a “pop” sound, Bai Wuxiang broke the branch in his hand, ducked behind him, and placed two cold fingers on the fatal point behind his head!

Xie Lian was pressed against the back of his head, feeling that he would pass through his head at any time, and his body froze.A voice came from behind: “If you don’t come to me, you will never defeat me, you will always be defeated by me.”

Xie Lian took a few breaths and said in a deep voice: “… Just come!”

After a pause, he said word by word: “You can’t win, just now. You can defeat me countless times, but you can’t kill me. And as long as you can’t kill me, one day, I will definitely defeat you!”

The will-o’-the-wisp heard his words and burned even more fiercely, as if it wanted to light up the entire night sky.Bai Wuxiang was silent for a moment behind him and asked, “Can’t I kill you?”

Xie Lian held his breath and remained silent.

In fact, he didn’t know how strong the immortal body that Jun Wu had protected him could be.What if Bai Wuxiang really dug through his brain in a rage?Will he live again?

At this time, Bai Wuxiang said quietly: “I really can’t kill you. I won’t kill you either.

“But don’t be too confident now.Later, don’t regret this.”

Regret?Why regret it?

Before Xie Lian could figure it out, he slashed his neck with a hand knife, and his eyes suddenly fell into darkness.

In the darkness, there seemed to be light and heat coming from far ahead.Thanks for chasing the light away, waking up bit by bit.

Opening your eyes slightly, the first thing that caught your eye was a will-o’-the-wisp above.It seems that the light and heat felt in the coma are it.

Seeing him wake up, the will-o’-the-wisp suddenly came close to him, and seemed to feel that it was not good to be too close to him, so he moved away slightly.Xie Lian always felt that this group of will-o’-the-wisps seemed particularly unusual. If he remembered correctly, it was the one that formed a formation to block him on the road just now.He wanted to stretch out his hand to explore, but unexpectedly, he couldn’t reach out at all.

Xie Lian was stunned and suddenly woke up.Looking down, he realized that the reason he couldn’t reach out was that his hands and feet were tied.

He was actually tied tightly to the altar, with the broken base underneath him.Many people crowded under the altar, staring at him with pairs of eyes wide open.
