"Tonight!" Di Zhi's voice sounded weak.
Zhang Meng raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you say in your letter that it would take a day or two? How come it's tonight now?"
Di Zhi gave a bitter laugh, "I never thought that the saying 'Man proposes, God disposes' would come true for me. This thunderbolt is coming, and there's nothing I can do about it."
Just as they finished speaking, the stars and the moon in the sky suddenly disappeared, leaving only the sky covered with dark clouds.
"It's strange. There were quite a lot of stars just now, how come they all disappeared all of a sudden?" Zhang Meng muttered to himself as he looked at the sky above his head.
At this moment, Di Zhi, who was standing next to them, suddenly glowed with light all over his body.
"The thunder is coming soon. Please help me in this place, please." After saying this, Di Zhi hugged himself tightly and ran inside.
Just as Di Zhi entered the ruined temple, a huge muffled thunder sounded in the sky above the Houjiao Mountain Temple.
After a while, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and immediately hit the roof of the mountain temple.
Along with the thunder, the young couple standing outside could vaguely hear Di Zhi's cries of pain.
"Um, you two, may I come in and stay for a night?" Just as the young couple was staring into the mountain temple, a timid and weak woman's voice suddenly sounded from behind them.
When the young couple heard the voice, they turned around at the same time.
They didn't even hear anyone approaching them just now.
Thinking of this, the couple's faces looked unhappy.
"Who are you? Isn't it a little strange for a woman to walk alone in this deep mountain?"
Zhang Meng squinted his eyes as he studied her. The woman still looked timid and frail, as if she was very cowardly. She shrank back in fear at Zhang Meng's stare, biting her lip as she spoke nervously, "I'm here to look for someone. My father is a barefoot doctor from a village up the road. He comes to this mountain every month to collect herbs. This time, he's been here for several days and hasn't returned. My family and I are very worried about him, so I came here alone."
Zhang Meng looked at her with a half-believing, half-doubting expression. Although this woman looked like a country girl, she had been able to quietly approach the couple just now. If someone without skills, it would be impossible to do this.
"You can't go in here. You'd better find another place to stay." Since he didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, Zhang Meng decided to be cautious.
When the woman heard this, she immediately raised her head and yelled at Zhang Meng angrily, "Why don't you let me stay in for one night? This place doesn't belong to you. What right do you have to stop me from staying in? Don't go too far."
"What? Aren't you going to pretend to be a coward in front of us now?" Gu Mingtai said coldly at this time.
When the woman heard this, her face immediately turned pale, and she immediately lowered her head, returning to her initial timid and frightened look. "I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not pretending. I'm really scared."
"Okay, stop pretending. You're quite capable to be able to get close to us quietly." Gu Mingtai still looked at her coldly.
After hearing this, the woman bit her lip secretly. "Let's go. My wife and I have important things to do. We don't have time for you. This is not the place for you. Leave now, or you won't be treated like a fool by my wife and me."
At this moment, the woman suddenly raised her head and laughed to the sky, "Haha, do you think you two can stop me?"
The woman slowly turned into a guy with a human body and a sheep's face.
"It's actually a Taotie." Gu Mingtai frowned immediately when he saw the woman's appearance.
