"I didn't expect there would be so many people passing by here today. There are two carriages coming up ahead. I guess they are here to take shelter from the rain as well."
The monk in his twenties said in surprise, looking through the crack in the door, and saw that after their carriages approached, a man leaned out of the carriage in front, looked at the dilapidated temple, and then went back to sit in the carriage. At the same time, the two carriages and the people accompanying them began to retreat and stopped on the side of the road about a hundred meters away.
"Strange, why did they retreat?" The monk in his twenties said in surprise, looking at the two carriages and the accompanying team a hundred meters away.
“Tsk, they are probably afraid of this evil place and don’t dare to come here!” A middle-aged monk sneered, folded his arms and closed his eyes to rest: “A bunch of cowards.”
"What evil place?" asked the other two monks, with frowns on their faces.
"It's this dilapidated temple! Didn't you notice that the yin energy here is heavier, and there's a sense of evil?" The middle-aged monk said, glancing at the two people beside him, "It was better before it rained. Now that it's raining, the yin energy inside is heavier, and the air is a bit colder."
The two men's faces changed slightly when they heard what he said, and they stood up immediately: "We didn't notice it, but since it's a place like this, we naturally can't stay here for long, so as not to get into trouble."
As they spoke, the two walked towards the door of the ruined temple, looked at the middle-aged monk who was still sitting, the young monk who was standing by the door with a puzzled look on his face, and the green-clothed woman who closed her eyes and fell asleep in the corner. After hesitating for a moment, they kindly reminded: "Everyone, I heard from my master that the evil spirit is extraordinary. If you are not strong enough, it is easy to be entangled by the evil spirit. You should leave quickly! Especially the girl over there. As a woman, it is easier for her to be entangled by the evil spirit."
Hearing this, Fengjiu opened her eyes, glanced at the two people, nodded, and said, "Well, you can go!" She still sat there without moving.
"A man is not as brave as a woman." The middle-aged monk glanced at the two of them with contempt in his eyes.
The two cultivators did not argue with him, but bowed to Feng Jiu and said, "Goodbye, take care young lady." Then they walked out.
As soon as they got outside, they used their spiritual power to protect their bodies. When the rain fell, it was blocked by the spiritual power on their bodies, and they didn't get wet at all. Although using spiritual power to protect the body consumed too much spiritual energy in the body, the two of them had no other choice at the moment. They just wanted to get away from this place. So they used spiritual power to protect their bodies while flying in the wind and rain with their swords.
There were two carriages on the side of the mountain road. In addition to the people in the two carriages who could use the carriages to shelter from the rain, the seven or eight people accompanying them all guarded the carriages and set up small tents on the side of the road to shelter from the rain.
The wind was strong and the rain was heavy, making the muddy road difficult to travel on. To prevent the carriage from overturning in the wind and rain and the horses from getting scared and running around, they could only stop here and wait for the rain to subside before continuing.
At this time, in the carriage in front, the middle-aged man covered the old man with a blanket and said, "Father, the wind and rain are a bit strong now. We can only wait until the wind and rain subside before we leave."
"Yeah." The old man closed his eyes, his face pale, and responded weakly.
"Brother, isn't there a dilapidated temple in front? Why don't you go there to take shelter from the rain?" The man in his thirties sitting next to him asked in confusion. He also looked in the direction of the dilapidated temple and said, "There are people taking shelter from the rain in there too!"
