Faintly, through the gaps between the trees, one could see a person limping and running fast ahead.

"Is it the Tan Jun from the Tan family?" Liu Ran was very surprised. "When was he controlled by the evil god? Is it really reasonable that he can run so fast with his weak legs?"

Wen Qi pursed his lips and said: "Perhaps he has been controlled from the beginning, but he hid it too deeply." If the seeds of the evil god are buried deep in the soul, they will not be discovered until they blossom and bear fruit.

And it seems that Tan Yingying is not just valued by the flower. The one who truly values ​​Tan Yingying and helps her fulfill her wishes should be the evil god.

Orange Rose was just a puppet controlled by the evil god. When Tan Yingying left, she not only took away the remaining soul of the evil god, but also took away the poison of Orange Rose.

Perhaps she was poisoned when she rolled down the mountain, or perhaps she came out of the cave where the "Buddha" was enshrined and tried to crawl to the ground but was hung in the air by vines and was stabbed in the ankle.

In short, Tan Yingying had been carrying these two things for so many years, and everything had been fine. But the toxins broke out two months ago and spread rapidly to a fatal level. This was definitely not a coincidence.

Wen Qi thought to himself that perhaps all this was specially arranged by the evil god in order to force Tan Yingying to return to the mountains.

But why did the evil god want Tan Yingying to come back? What was so special about her? Looking at the bloodstains on the ground at the entrance of the village, Tan Yingying must have been seriously injured. It was obvious that the evil god didn't care about Tan Yingying's life or death... So, the evil god only wanted her body? Wen Qi secretly guessed, could it be that... the evil god wanted to become a human? Humans want to become gods, and gods want to be human? She clicked her tongue and muttered softly, "What the hell."

Wen Qi thought they were going deep into the mountains again, but after Tan Jun carried Tan Yingying for a while in the mountains, they started to walk out again.

Liu Ran identified the direction and said, "He walked around the mountain for a while. Where on earth does he want to go?"

Wen Qi was also confused. Where on earth would the evil god be? Soon, the two followed Taotie to the edge of the cliff. There were no trees around. Tan Jun took Tan Yingying and climbed up the steep rock wall with their bare hands.

Wen Qi's legs went weak when she saw this. She really couldn't do this.

Liu Ran was used to it. She observed it before going up and said confidently, "This road was often walked on before." She pointed at the uneven rocks on it and said, "The signs of wear and tear are obvious."

Wen Qi took a few deep breaths and observed the rock wall. He didn't see any wear and tear, but he did see a lot of moss. "Who would come to such a remote and dangerous place?"

Liu Ran smiled and said, "Go up and take a look and you will know."

Wen Qi's eyes were full of resistance, but there was nothing she could do. The client had been captured, so she had to chase him. She pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and shouted, "Taotie! Come and take me up!"

Liu Ran was helpless, "Are you really not afraid of being discovered by Tan Jun?"

Wen Qi waved his hand and said indifferently: "He must have discovered it a long time ago. He brought us here on purpose."

Taotie flew down from above, and Wen Qi jumped onto its back, then lay down, hugged it tightly, and closed his eyes. The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing, as if he had done it many times before.

Taotie ran in the air and reached the cliff in just ten seconds, letting out a soft cry.

Wen Qi quietly opened her eyes and looked at it, then jumped off the Taotie in a relaxed manner. It felt so good to be on solid ground. She jumped twice on the spot, looked up, and was stunned.

A stone temple was built on the rock wall not far away. The outer perimeter of the stone temple was covered with weeds half a person's height, and the steps were almost buried. The stone door was half open, and there was no plaque on it, so it was unknown what temple it was.

However, Liu Ran came up and took a look before saying, "It should be an abandoned mountain temple. People who live in the mountains rely on the mountains and respect the mountains, so they naturally worship the mountain gods."

“Mountain God?” Wen Qi’s eyes were deep. “Whether it is a mountain god or an evil god, we will know after we go in and take a look.”

The Taotie beast took the lead and rushed into the mountain temple first, followed closely by Wen Qi and Liu Ran.

The temple was small, and the altar was not far from the entrance. At this time, Tan Yingying was placed on the altar, and Tan Jun knelt below, keeping his head in a kowtow without moving.

Wen Qi went over to take a look. The man's eyes were closed, and he was obviously unconscious. She didn't touch him, but looked up. Above the altar was a statue with a green face and fangs, three heads and six arms. This was the image of the mountain god in the hearts of the mountain people.

Apart from this, the entire temple was empty, not even an incense burner was to be found.

This is probably the most rudimentary temple Wen Qi has ever seen.

Liu Ran looked around cautiously, "Where is the evil god?" She looked at Wen Qi, then at Taotie, but the man and the beast showed no reaction at all, and just stood there motionless.

Wen Qi was also looking for him. The evil spirit in the temple was unexpectedly not that strong. In fact, in the entire mountain temple, the person with the strongest evil spirit was actually Tan Jun, but the latter was obviously just a puppet being controlled.

"Let's take a look at Tan Yingying's wound first." After temporarily confirming that there was no danger around, Wen Qi walked to the altar and took a look at the back of Tan Yingying's head. The wound was not small, and the blood on the hair had dried, but the skull was still intact, and it was not a fatal injury.

Wen Qi breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to ask Liu Ran, "Do you have gauze and anti-inflammatory drugs?"

Liu Ran took off his backpack and looked down at the first aid kit. He had brought it just in case, and it could really save lives at critical moments.

Liu Ran's expression changed immediately and he shouted, "Be careful!"

Wen Qi's eyes flashed, and she crouched down, a strong wind brushed her scalp. If she hadn't reacted quickly, the blow would have landed on her neck. With this force, she would have fainted at best, or even died! Without waiting for her to stand up, Taotie rushed up with a roar.

Liu Ran's expression changed drastically, "Shut up, Taotie!"

Wen Qi rolled on the ground and looked towards the altar.

At this time, Tan Yingying had already stepped down from the altar, and was replaced by the grinning Taotie. Wen Qi observed Tan Yingying carefully, and it was obvious that she was possessed, and her soul had been completely suppressed.

Wen Qi raised his hand to call back Taotie, stared at "Tan Yingying" and asked, "Are you the evil god?"

"Tan Yingying" turned around and glared at her, "How rude! I am the mountain god here!"

Very good, it turns out that he has been possessed by the evil spirit.

Wen Qi looked her up and down and asked curiously, "What is your purpose?"

The evil god was silent for a while before he said, "I want to go back to the old days when there were believers and incense."

Wen Qi frowned, "Then why don't you live somewhere else? Why are you always staring at this little girl?"

The evil god looked back dimly, "She is my first believer after many years, and also the medium for me to return to the past." As if he hadn't communicated with anyone in a long time, the evil god couldn't stop talking once he started.

"After nearly a hundred years, someone once again bowed down to me and made a wish to me. Of course, I must do my best to fulfill her wish. Not only that, I must always protect her, my only believer."

"But... the world outside is so beautiful. I don't know when it started, but when I helped her realize her wish, I started to have selfish motives. I wanted her to be noticed by more people, admired by more people, and have more and more fans. I found that being a star is great, at least it's much better than being a mountain god that no one cares about."

Wen Qi nodded slowly, "So, you have the idea of ​​replacing her."

The evil god remained noncommittal. "I can do better than her. I can truly fulfill the wishes of my fans, never let my reputation fall, and always be the most perfect idol in their hearts. As long as... they can always believe in me."

Wen Qi shook his head and said matter-of-factly, "You may be disappointed. Fans are very fan-crazy. It's not normal to like you today and someone else tomorrow. If you really come out, you will be pissed off to death by fans who cheat on you in a matter of minutes."

The evil god said stubbornly: "It's better than disappearing alone in a corner where no one notices."

Now Wen Qi understood. It was all because of fear of death! That's right. Gods without believers will disappear sooner or later. From ancient times to the present, countless gods have disappeared for this reason.

It is not uncommon for people to degenerate into evil gods because of their fear of death.

Wen Qi sighed, "I'm deeply sorry for what happened to you, but I'm sorry, you chose the wrong person. Tan Yingying is really not good enough. She is my client, and I'm still waiting for her to come back and give me the final payment."

The evil god had a blank expression on his face, "You can't stop me."

Wen Qi smiled and said, "How can you know if you don't try?" After she finished speaking, she suddenly lost consciousness and fell backwards, and was caught by Liu Ran.

Isn't it because they don't dare to really hurt Tan Yingying's body and soul? Isn't it because she hides in Tan Yingying's spiritual space? Ha, as if no one can be possessed! She is so good at grabbing territory!

Wen Qi just said, "Take care of my body."

Then, the soul turned into a stream of light and entered Tan Yingying's body.

Taotie was eager to try it out, so he shook his tail and jumped in.

Liu Ran: ...

But within two seconds, Taotie came out again. Judging from its posture, it was either thrown out or kicked out. After landing, it squatted beside Liu Ran with a wronged look on its face, daring not to say anything.

Liu Ran couldn't help laughing, then looked at Tan Yingying who was already lying on the ground with her eyes closed, and sighed in a low voice, "This is going to be lively now."

In Tan Yingying's spiritual space, Wen Qi finally saw the true face of the mountain god.

For a moment, Wen Qi was a little at a loss. What should she say? This mountain god was too good-looking! How could she beat him up?
