"unlucky!"

Gu Qingfeng cursed inwardly. Although he had lost too much blood, his physical condition was still there. He would not catch a cold even if he was caught in the heaviest rain.

But even so, Gu Qingfeng did not plan to travel at night in the rain, because he only had this set of clothes with him. If he got wet by the rain, he would have to wear wet clothes all the way back. The feeling of being sticky and damp, and the clothes sticking to him was uncomfortable to think about.

So Gu Qingfeng had to turn around and go into the mountain temple to take shelter from the rain.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it's unlikely to stop for a while. It looks like we can only stay in the mountain temple tonight.

Pushing open the dilapidated temple door, what comes into view is an ancient and dilapidated temple overgrown with weeds. In the center of the temple stands a one-meter-tall statue of a mountain god.

The mountain god statue, which should have been majestic and dignified, now had its oil paint faded and dissolved, as if a palette had been disrupted, appearing extremely grotesque and distorted.

And the most terrifying thing is that the head of the mountain god statue is missing, and there is a big crack on the neck, as if the head was bitten off by some ferocious beast.

Gu Qingfeng completely ignored the eerie and terrifying mountain god statue, found a corner to tie up his horse, and then found a piece of open space to sit down.

The Demon-Suppressing Manual records that the mountain god is worshipped by all people and gathers the will of all living beings. He has a certain ability to drive away evil and avoid danger. Therefore, once the statue of the mountain god is broken, it means that a powerful demon that can ignore the statue of the mountain god has appeared in this place. It is very dangerous, so be careful when entering.

However, what is a disaster for ordinary people is a blessing for Gu Qingfeng.

Gu Qingfeng collected some dry grass and branches, lit a fire, then took out some simple bread from his bag and started baking it.

When you are away from home, you have to make do with limited conditions.

As they were grilling, suddenly, many footsteps were heard not far from the door.

When Gu Qingfeng heard this, he immediately became energetic.

"Could it be that demons and ghosts have come to visit? Is there such a good thing?"

At this time, voices were heard outside the door.

"Miss, it's raining heavily tonight. There happens to be a mountain temple here. In my humble opinion, why don't we rest here for the night?"

This is the voice of a middle-aged man with full energy.

"Well, let's stay here." A pleasant and gentle female voice sounded.

Gu Qingfeng's face fell. What? It's not a monster?

It sounds like this is a young lady from a wealthy family who is traveling, but I wonder if she is pretty?

While Gu Qingfeng was thinking, there was a bang!

The door of the mountain temple was pushed open, and seven people walked in one after another.

The leader was a middle-aged man dressed as a guard, and it was he who spoke just now.

Behind him was a young lady in a light green gauze dress, with a white gauze covering her face, so her appearance could not be seen clearly, but her eyes were bright and charming. She also had a very good figure, slender but not skinny, slender but not abrupt, and she behaved dignifiedly, with graceful eyebrows and eyes, and had the temperament of a lady from a noble family.

The woman was accompanied by an old man in gorgeous clothes, who was dressed neatly and meticulously, like a loyal butler, following the woman closely.

The remaining four were guards equipped with swords, bows and crossbows. They stood in four directions, protecting the woman firmly in the middle.

When the seven people saw Gu Qingfeng sitting on the ground, except for the woman who was a little surprised, the others did not show any abnormal expression. It was obvious that they were all sharp-eyed and sharp-eared warriors who had sensed Gu Qingfeng's presence outside long ago.

Gu Qingfeng looked at the few people curiously, actually he was mainly looking at the women. The feeling of a woman with a veil and a pipa half covering her face always made people want to find out more.

Of course, Gu Qingfeng was not a playboy who would stare at a woman when he saw her, so he just looked at her for a few seconds and then looked away.

She is wearing too tight clothes, the little corpse is still more beautiful. Gu Qingfeng thought silently in his heart.

The head guard looked Gu Qingfeng up and down, then frowned and said, "Boy, the mountain temple is small and too crowded. Here are two taels of silver. Take the silver and find another place."

Gu Qingfeng was very upset by the condescending tone of the command. This place was deserted and it was raining heavily outside. You want me to leave just by paying you one month's salary? Dream on!

"It's not enough, you have to pay more." Gu Qingfeng said lightly.

The head guard was visibly stunned, obviously he had never met someone like Gu Qingfeng.

"Then name your price."

Gu Qingfeng thought about it and decided that it would take at least one year’s salary!

"Twenty-four taels!"

The head guard's face immediately darkened. Twenty-four taels? That's almost as much as his monthly salary!

"Boy, don't be greedy!" said the head guard, with a gleam in his eyes, and a little bit of the aura unique to a warrior was released from his body.

Gu Qingfeng was shocked!

Holy shit! True Qi realm! ?

I'm so scared!

If the opponent is in the Inner Energy Realm, Gu Qingfeng will definitely not be afraid at all. With many trump cards, he can fight with an ordinary Inner Energy Realm opponent, and at worst he can escape calmly.

But if it is the Qi realm...

Tsk, when I think about it, two taels of silver doesn’t seem to be a small amount, it’s one month’s salary.

Just when Gu Qingfeng wanted to speak, the young lady suddenly said, "Uncle Li, they were the first to come here, how can we let them go?"

After saying that, the young lady turned to Gu Qingfeng and apologized, "My family members acted rashly, please don't blame me, young master."

Gu Qingfeng looked at the lady who looked like a lady from a noble family and nodded: "It's okay, but...are you really not going to consider the twenty-four taels? Or twenty taels can be discussed as well?"

The young lady was stunned for a moment, looking at Gu Qingfeng with her beautiful eyes without blinking, and then suddenly she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Obviously, he was amused by Gu Qingfeng.

"Sir, please stop joking. It's dark now, and it's raining heavily outside. There are also hidden demons. It's too dangerous. You'd better rest here."

After saying that, the young lady turned and went to another open space, and the other guards began to collect firewood to make a fire.

Gu Qingfeng sighed secretly, what's there to be afraid of demons? If it wasn't raining outside, I would have slept in the wild tonight, waiting for the demons to come. Now, I don't even have two taels of silver.
