Translator: 549690339

Xu Bai retracted his divine soul. Other than that, he did not sense anything else unusual. However, this was a relic.

He guessed that the other party had yet to transform into a chanting god and maintained all kinds of living habits from when he was alive, so he was quietly reciting Daoist scriptures.

“Let’s go take a look.”

Xu Bai made up his mind and walked toward the Taoist temple.

When he arrived at the gate of the Taoist temple, he knocked on the door gently. Before anyone could open the door, the door was opened by the force of his knocking.

The Taoist temple was very small, and one could see the end at a glance. Behind the door was a small courtyard, and at the end of the courtyard was the main hall.

The old Taoist priest was still sitting cross-legged on the futon. His back gave Xu Bai an unusually harmonious feeling.

The yellow incense, the praying mat, the old Taoist priest, the Taoist scripture, and the surrounding smoke made it look like an ordinary Taoist temple.

Xu Bai rubbed his chin and thought for a moment before walking over.

Xu Bai’s approach seemed to have disturbed the old Taoist priest. The old Taoist priest stopped chanting and slowly stood up, turning around.

He had white hair and a youthful face, and his face was kind. Even though he was old, he did not have the slightest sense of terror. Instead, he had an ethereal aura.

The old Taoist priest walked out step by step. Xu Bai then realized that the old Taoist priest seemed to be limping.

The old Taoist walked from the main hall to Xu Bai for a while, panting heavily.

“Blessing Lord, do you want to offer incense?”The old Taoist priest performed a Daoist rite.

Lord Blessing was the name that the Taoist temple used to address ordinary devotees. In this world, there were many names.

Some called him “Good Fortune and Longevity”, some called him “Ten Good

Believers”, and some called him “Good Man” ,”Blessing Lord”, and “Believer”.

Usually, when familiar pilgrims knew their surnames, they would add their surnames when addressing them. For example, if the pilgrims ‘surnames were ” Wang,” they would address them as ” Shanren Wang ” and ” Xinren Wang.”

The Taoist priests addressed the people who gave property to Taoist temples as “good people” and “believers” respectfully as “Merit Lord”. The Taoist priests called the believers who invited the famous and knowledgeable Taoist priests to perform rituals “Zhai Lord”.

However, Blessing Lord was a form of address for believers.

“I don’t trust people,” Xu Bai said with a smile.”l just happened to pass by.””

“Anyone who enters my Daoist temple is a believer.” “Please follow me, ” said the old Taoist priest.”

“What’s the matter?” Xu Bai raised his eyebrows. I’m just here to take a look.”

The old Taoist priest smiled slightly. He looked like an immortal, and people could not help but feel a sense of affinity.”lt’s getting late and the mountains are barren. Wild beasts often pass by this mountain. I’m worried that Lord Blessing might be in danger, so why don’t we rest in the Taoist temple for the night?”

Every word he said was filled with kindness, as if he was really trying to protect Xu Bai from being harmed by wild beasts.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Bai nodded and said, “In that case, thank you, Taoist priest.”

He didn’t say why he was here. He only said that he happened to pass by. Now that the old Taoist priest took the initiative to invite him and didn’t refuse, he could take this opportunity to see what was so wonderful about this Taoist temple.

“Please.” The old Taoist priest raised his hand and led the way.

Xu Bai followed behind, looking around from time to time.

He had to pass by the main hall before he could reach the backyard. When he passed by the main hall, he subconsciously glanced at the worn-out statue and narrowed his eyes.

“It seemed to have glanced at me.”

Xu Bai keenly felt that the statue seemed to have glanced at him. Its eyes were cold, making his hair stand on end. However, when he looked carefully, the statue returned to normal. Everything that had happened before seemed to be an illusion.

If it was an ordinary person, they might really think it was an illusion here.

After all, it was smoky inside, and it was normal that they couldn’t see clearly.

However, Xu Bai was not an ordinary person. He could see it clearly. He clearly felt that someone had stared at him just now.

Moreover, this kind of coldness and strangeness was completely different from the ethereal immortal energy here. It created a strong contrast and highlighted a trace of creepy terror.

Xu Bai didn’t point it out directly, but continued to follow.

The old Taoist priest limped and walked very slowly.

Xu Bai didn’t rush him and just followed him slowly.

After going around the front yard, there was the backyard. There were a few houses in the backyard. The houses were still dilapidated, but because they were often cleaned, the backyard and the houses did not look dirty.

“This Taoist temple is not small. The Abbey Dean is here alone.”Xu Bai asked casually.

The old Taoist priest who was walking in front turned around and said, The Taoist temple is in the deep mountains, and there are no people in the daily life. The silver money is naturally not much, and there is no second mouth.” Xu Bai only nodded and did not continue speaking.

Not long after, the old Taoist priest brought Xu Bai to one of the houses and gently pushed the door open.

Behind the door was a simple and quaint room. The furniture inside was still old and worn, but in his eyes, there was a simple and unique style that did not make people feel disgusted.

“I won’t disturb you any further.” “I’ll come and call you at dinner time,” the old Taoist priest said slowly.”

Xu Bai agreed.

He still remembered what King Sheng You had said. Before these people became Mindful Gods, he had to communicate with them as much as possible. This way, he might be able to find out more treasures. Therefore, Xu Bai acted like a real passer-by until now..
