The old Taoist priest left. Seeing that Xu Bai was not in the mood to talk, he did not stay any longer. When he left, he closed the door.

Xu Bai looked at the clean and tidy chair. After sitting on it, he took out the Spirit Summoning Technique that King Shengyou had given him and silently read it.

Since everything hadn’t started yet, he would continue to check the progress bar.

Time gradually passed, and the sun gradually set. Between day and night, the sky was already slightly dark.

In this dim environment, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded.

Xu Bai was checking the progress bar. When he heard the footsteps, he put down the book in his hand and walked to the door. He opened the door slightly and looked into the backyard.

When the door was opened by a small gap, a gust of cold wind blew in, giving Xu Bai goosebumps.

Through the crack of the door, Xu Bai saw a beam of moonlight shining down on the courtyard outside, illuminating the courtyard with a deathly white color.

The sound of intermittent footsteps could be heard. The old Taoist priest was limping and carrying a large bag in his hand as he slowly walked to the backyard.

The bag was very big, and it was very difficult for the old Taoist to walk. There was a rack in the corner of the courtyard, and on the rack, there were hooks made of iron wire.

The old Taoist priest opened his pocket and took out strips of cured meat from it, hanging them on the iron wire.

The cured meat was long and had been smoked until it was black.

The old Taoist priest’s leg was crippled. It took him a lot of effort to hang all the cured meat.

After doing all this, he leaned against the wall and panted heavily. After a while, he slapped his head.

“I’m getting old and useless. I almost forgot to call Blessing over for dinner.”

After saying that, the old Taoist priest turned around and walked towards Xu Bai’s room. Before he turned around, Xu Bai had already quietly closed the door.

Sitting back on the chair in the room, Xu Bai thought about the scene just now.

To be honest, other than the cold wind when the door was opened, there was nothing unusual. As for why there was meat in the Taoist temple, it was actually very normal.

Daoist priests also needed to eat meat.

There were many schools of Taoism, and some could even get married and have children, so it was not rare.

“But why do I feel that there’s a sinister aura here, especially the statue in the hall. It did look at me.”Xu Bai thought.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the old Taoist priest’s voice came from outside.

“Blessing Lord, the food is ready. Please follow me out to eat.”

Hearing this, Xu Bai put away the secret manual on the table and went to the door. After opening the door, he nodded.

“I’m hungry.”

The old Taoist priest turned around and limped to lead the way.

Xu Bai followed behind him. Soon, the old Taoist priest brought him to another room.

After the old Taoist priest pushed open the door, he lit the oil lamp and placed it on the table.

The dim oil lamp flickered continuously, bringing in the only trace of light, illuminating the dark room with a rosy glow.

However, as the oil lamp continued to shake, the shadows also flickered, giving off a sinister feeling.

There were a few sets of chopsticks and a few plates on the table. Other than some vegetarian dishes, there was also a meat dish on the plate.

“The Taoist temple is very small, and there aren’t many people usually, so the food is relatively simple.”The old Taoist priest turned his head and revealed an apologetic smile.

At this moment, under the illumination of the oil lamp, the old Taoist priest’s originally sage-like aura was gone, and there was a trace of gloominess.

Especially this smile. The light and shadow of the oil lamp intertwined on his face, making his scalp tingle.

Xu Bai smiled back.” We’re out. It’s fine to keep it simple. I don’t mind.””

The old Taoist nodded repeatedly and limped to a seat. He then waved at Xu Bai and said,””Blessing Lord, hurry up and come over to eat. These dishes won’t taste good if they get cold.”

Xu Bai sat opposite the old Taoist priest and picked up the bowl and chopsticks on the table, stirring them in the plate.

The vegetables were just ordinary vegetables. They didn’t look any different, but as Xu Bai stirred them, he stirred a strand of hair in one of the vegetables.

His hair was long and black.

If one were to discover a strand of hair while eating, it would affect one’s mood.

‘Why is there a strand of hair in here?” Xu Bai asked as he picked up his hair.”

The old Taoist priest replied, “It might be left behind by accident when I was cooking. Please don’t eat this dish. ‘”‘

But his hair is as black as ink,” Xu Bai said.” The Abbey Dean’s hair is like silver.”‘

“There will always be one or two black hairs, not all white. “The old Taoist priest’s eyes became slightly stiff.

Xu Bai looked at her white hair and placed his chopsticks on another dish.

This was the only meat dish. It was smoked meat, but there were some bones. It looked more like ribs.

Under the light of the oil lamp, Xu Bai kept stirring with his chopsticks and soon stirred out a bone.

The bones were very long, and the joints were still connected. There was some minced meat on them.

Xu Bai picked up the bone and stared at the old Taoist calmly..’”‘Abbey Dean, can you tell me whether this is a pig’s tail bone or a human finger?”
