"What, you said you were attacked by a female ghost last night?"

In the courtyard of the charity cemetery, Li Yun looked at Ye Chen in surprise as he was carrying a bag of red paper.

Ye Chen smiled bitterly and said: "To be precise, I attacked her, she didn't really attack me."

Li Yun frowned, walked behind Ye Chen, and took out a button-sized flat iron piece from the back of his collar.

Ye Chen was shocked when he saw this, and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "What is this, a bug? You put a bug on me?"

Li Yun glanced at him and said, "Don't be narcissistic. I'm not interested in your private life. This is not a bug, but a magic weapon made by my friend. It will automatically appear when you are attacked and protect you, just like this..."

As he spoke, Li Yun handed the button iron sheet to Ye Chen, and then put his fingers together like a knife, slashing at Ye Chen like lightning.

In an instant, the button-sized magic weapon lit up with blue light, and a light blue qi shield instantly enveloped Ye Chen's entire body.

Just as it was about to touch the blue Qi shield, Li Yun's palm knife suddenly stopped with incredible precision.

The whistling airflow turned into a strong wind, rushing around the blue Qi shield covering Ye Chen's body, and blowing the fallen leaves that Uncle Jiu had swept into the corner all over the sky.

It was not until this moment that Ye Chen realized what was happening and stared blankly at the palm knife and blue qi shield hovering in front of him.

Li Yun put away his palm and said calmly: "See? This magic weapon can detect malicious intent and automatically protect its owner. You did not activate the magic weapon last night, which means what you said is true. The female ghost really has no malicious intent and did not attack you..."

Otherwise, the protective magic weapon he hid on Ye Chen would have been activated long ago.

Ye Chen was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly he felt his hand lighten. He lowered his head quickly and found that the button-sized magic weapon had been taken away by Li Yun.

"Hey, Brother Li!"

Ye Chen spoke quickly, with a hint of reluctance evident in his tone.

Li Yun said unhappily: "This is a one-time use. It will be useless after use. If you really want it, I will give you another one later."

So that's how it is!

Ye Chen nodded quickly in agreement, fearing that Li Yun would go back on his word.

Li Yun put away his magic weapon, picked up the broom at the base of the wall, and while sweeping the fallen leaves blown by the wind, he said, "You came to see me so early, it shouldn't just be because of that female ghost. If you have anything else, tell me all at once!"

Ye Chen nodded, ran to the door and looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, he closed the door of the charity cemetery, then returned to Li Yun and told him in a low voice what had happened last night.

Hearing the ghost girl's invitation and the poem she recited, Li Yun couldn't help but pause in his sweeping.

"Another time traveler?"

Li Yun looked at Ye Chen in surprise.

Ye Chen nodded solemnly: "And it's a female ghost."

“…Interesting.”

Li Yun was leaning on the broom with great interest, wondering why there was more than one time traveler in the recent worlds, and it seemed that there were also two time travelers in the Harry Potter world next door.

Ye Chen carefully looked at Li Yun's expression and whispered tentatively: "Brother Li, what do you say?"

Li Yun came back to his senses and said with a smile: "What else can I say, let's go, I'll go with you to meet her!"

Ye Chen felt relieved and a look of joy appeared on his face. He quickly took the broom from Li Yun and left the charity cemetery with him.

…

…

As the ancient saying goes, it is better to sleep in a desolate grave than live in a wild temple.

In a normal world, the reason why this proverb has been passed down is mainly because those bandits and other lawless people, in order to avoid being hunted by the government, dare not go to regular inns, so they often choose to rest in dilapidated temples outside the city.

The temple only has doors and windows for escape, and ordinary passers-by who encounter it in such a place are likely to die.

Even if there were no criminals, but just ordinary beggars, it would be difficult to feel at ease living in the same room with them, especially when it rains, when many snakes, insects and wild beasts would come to the dilapidated temple in the wilderness to take shelter from the rain and cold.

But in the world of gods and ghosts where Uncle Jiu lives, this proverb has other meanings and risks.

Like the dilapidated temples in remote suburbs that have been abandoned for a long time, there is no longer any incense or offerings, and the gods enshrined inside no longer pay attention to this place. Instead, some unclean things will be attracted and gather here.

The wild temple about fifteen miles northwest of Renjiazhuang is a typical example.

Ye Chen carefully pushed open the temple door. Before he walked in, a cold breath hit him in the face, making him shiver.

"There are many ghosts gathered in this temple, and the ghostly aura is gloomy. You have no cultivation and it is easy for the evil spirit to enter your body. You'd better retreat behind me!"

Li Yun's faint voice came from behind him. Ye Chen nodded and obediently retreated behind Li Yun.

Sure enough, when he came to Li Yun, the air around him suddenly became warmer, and the cold wind blowing from the temple was no longer biting, but instead brought a cool and comfortable feeling like a summer seaside.

"Brother Li is indeed very advanced!"

Ye Chen couldn't help but praise him, and decided in his heart to follow Li Yun closely and never leave more than three steps away from him.

Li Yun smiled slightly, strode into the temple, and looked around with interest.

Unlike what he expected, although this wild temple was abandoned and old, it was not dilapidated, and there were no leaks on any of its sides. Only the statues on the altar were in poor condition, some of them even had their heads lost, leaving only half of their bodies.

Seeing this scene, Li Yun thought that these female ghosts were so bold that they even dared to desecrate the statues of gods.

But then, he found something wrong. After all, Li Yun had visited the major mountain gates of Buddhism and Taoism in other worlds. Through the details of the broken statues, he easily recognized that these statues did not seem to be the righteous gods of Taoism, nor the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas of Buddhism. They should be wild temples built by some mountain spirits and monsters.

No wonder Uncle Jiu and Renjiazhuang didn't repair this dilapidated temple...

As Li Yun thought about this, he said loudly: "Miss, Brother Ye and I have been invited here, why don't you come out and meet us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a gust of cold wind in the temple. Ye Chen's heart tightened immediately, and he took another step closer to Li Yun without making a sound.

But for some reason, there was only a cold wind blowing in the temple, and not even a ghost appeared.

Just when Ye Chen was beginning to have doubts, a faint voice suddenly came from the broken statue in front of the altar.

"Brother Li, please step back to the door. It will be difficult for me to come out if you stand in front of me."

“…”

Li Yun twitched the corner of his mouth, and reluctantly retreated to the door, looking at the broken statue in the center.

"And now?"

“…”

The broken statue did not answer, but a wisp of green smoke emerged from it and condensed into shape in front of the altar.

It was a young girl dressed in white, with pretty face and tall stature.

This should be the real one!

Li Yun and Ye Chen couldn't help but look at each other.

After hesitating for a while, Ye Chen took the lead and said, "Miss, I wonder if the red-dressed lady from last night is here. I have brought her the red paper she wanted. I also brought some white and yellow paper. I wonder if they can be used..."

The girl in white smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank you for your kindness on behalf of Xiaoyu, but she probably won't be able to use it. In the art of talismans, white and yellow are associated with Yang, and red paper is associated with Yin. If you observe, you will find that the Taoists use yellow paper when drawing talismans. If there is no yellow paper, they use white paper. They rarely use red paper. Only ghosts like us use red paper..."

"I see."

Ye Chen nodded thoughtfully.

The girl in white said with a smile: "Just put it on the altar. Classmate Li is here, so they dare not get close. I am the only female ghost in this temple. Classmate Ye doesn't need to be so cautious with your words. We are all time travelers, so just do whatever you want!"

Student Li... Student Ye...

Li Yun and Ye Chen looked at each other with strange expressions, as if they didn't know how to respond after being addressed by the girl in white.

The girl in white looked at Li Yun, who was emitting a golden-red aura, and could not help but take two steps back. She said helplessly, "Student Li, what kind of skills have you cultivated in this life? How can you be so terrifying?"

“…”

Li Yun twitched his lips, thought about it, and did not answer.

Ye Chen knew that Li Yun didn't want to answer, so he smiled and said, "It seems a bit impolite for a girl to ask about the skills right away, right?"

"...A little bit." The girl in white thought for a moment and smiled, "Let me introduce myself first. After all, I know your names, but you don't know mine yet!"

"My name is Bai Youyou. In my previous life, I was from Jiangnan. I was 19 years old and a sophomore. Before I traveled through time, I was shopping with my best friend. I think I died of heat stroke. Now I have traveled to this world for five years. I am a female ghost and have a group of little sisters under me."

"As for strength, the realm and combat power divisions in this world are not so rigid. According to Xiaoyu's description, although I am just a wandering soul, my strength should be stronger than many evil spirits!"

Ye Chen couldn't help but ask: "Since you are so powerful, why are you still afraid of Brother Li?"

Bai Youyou looked at him speechlessly, as if to say, "Don't you know how perverted this guy next to you is?"

Li Yun did not give Bai Youyou a chance to answer, and asked curiously: "Student Bai, I'm curious, how did you end up in this situation?"

"Don't mention it!" Bai Youyou showed a depressed and helpless expression on her face, and said in a dark tone, "When I first traveled through time, I had the opportunity to reincarnate, but when I was reincarnated, I happened to meet the soul-catchers from the underworld. They were arresting evil spirits in the county town where I was reincarnated, and by the way, they intercepted my soul, an illegal reincarnation of a time traveler!"

……ah?

Li Yun and Ye Chen looked at each other.

Li Yun couldn't help but ask, "You mean, have you seen the Black and White Impermanence?"

Ye Chen shook his head and said, "No, it should be the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon. I remember that the Black and White Impermanence are the ones who catch the living souls, and the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons are the ones who catch wandering souls and evil ghosts."

Li Yun was surprised and asked, "Really? I remember that Black and White Impermanence also have the responsibility to capture evil spirits?"

Seeing that the two of them were about to argue, Bai Youyou couldn't help but frown.

"Hey, the person involved is right here, why are you asking me what you are arguing about?"
