Chapter 365 Taiqing Temple
"vomit!"
Ning Bao couldn't help but vomit when she smelled the blood on the old man. She vomited without any regard for her image.
"I'm sorry, Ningbao didn't mean it."
Ning Bao looked at the old man with a face full of apology. She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she felt extremely nauseous when she smelled that odor.
Regardless of her age, it's still impolite for her to watch others hit her.
The old man shook his head.
"It's alright, the little girl doesn't blame you."
I know I'm neither human nor ghost now.
Gu Zheyuan was also very surprised to see the old man. He had seen him three months ago and he was full of energy. How could he have become like this now?
His eyes were sunken and lifeless, and his complexion was ashen, as if...
Gu Zheyuan had seen plenty of people die, and he sensed something was very wrong with the old man's expression.
He glanced into the old man's tightly closed room.
"Uncle Liu, my child is thirsty and would like to ask your house for a glass of water."
Uncle Liu shook his head after hearing Gu Zheyuan's words.
"Sir, I really can't let you drink this water. It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that things are too abnormal in the village right now."
I'm afraid you'll end up like us if you drink the water.
"Grandpa, when did you become like this?"
Or what special things did you eat before you became like this?
What special water have you ever drunk?
What strange places have you been to?
Have you come into contact with anything strange?
Uncle Liu thought for a moment,
"We started to look like this two months ago."
I remember that day, Taiqing Temple was giving out holy water for free. People of all ages in the village went to the temple to collect water. My wife went too. When they came back, they poured the holy water into their own water tanks.
That night I felt something was wrong with my body, and the next day I started to feel afraid of light, and my body became even weaker..."
Ning Bao concentrated and quietly began chanting the incantation. The more she chanted, the more uneasy she felt, so she simply sat down cross-legged...
A moment later, Ningbao opened her eyes.
"Father, Uncle Gu, we're not going into the mountains tonight. We're staying here."
Gu Zheyuan glanced at Liu Bo, whose eyes were beginning to redden.
"Stay? Ningbao, have you found out why the villagers have become like this?"
Ning Bao nodded.
"Yes, we found them. They were controlled by evil magic. The holy water they drank was just a trigger."
I suspect the person performing the evil magic is at Taiqing Temple.
"What should we do then? Should I go and wipe out the Taoist temple?" Zhou Chengxing, being a military general, couldn't sit still any longer upon hearing about the existence of heretical sects.
Ningbao quickly grabbed her father.
"Father, these people are using evil magic; we can't defeat them by fighting them head-on."
Moreover, these people are very cunning and difficult to catch. As long as they have a breath left, they can continue to harm people in another place.
"Then what should we do?"
“I’ll go and meet him tonight. For now, I’ll perform a ritual to ease the villagers’ distress. This evil spell can’t be directly dispelled, or it will alert the enemy.”
As Ning Bao spoke, she took out a small incense burner and walked to the center of the village. She lit three incense sticks in the burner and then looked at Zhou Chengxing and Gu Zheyuan.
"Dad, Uncle Gu, I need to take care of something for a while. You can find a place to rest."
