Generally speaking, there are only two explanations for such a situation: first, something happened in the local area, maybe the dynasty summoned him, or he went out to visit friends. In any case, he is not there. If there is something, just burn paper and people will hear it.

As for the second point, it is the death of the local land. Yes, you heard it right. In this world full of big guys, even gods are at risk of falling.

In this situation, even if sentient beings burn paper with their vows, the other party will not be able to respond.

Considering the imbalance of yin and yang and the frequent occurrence of ghosts in Yuyang Village, it is natural to needless to say which one it is.

What made Zhang San curious was that all the orthodox Shintoists (not the wild fox Zen, Yin Temple, etc.) had their names registered in the court, so why didn't the court investigate the death of the land god in Yuyang Village? Looking at the clay sculpture of the land god in the temple, at this moment, Zhang San felt that the ghost plague in Yuyang Village might not be as simple as he imagined, or that its scope of influence was definitely not just Yuyang Village.

At 17:00, in order to avoid being trapped in darkness and being attacked by ghosts, Wang Bo and his companions left quickly after placing their offerings an hour ago.

In order to avoid trouble, Zhang San naturally did not meet them. He only slipped into the land temple after they left.

It was after seeing the clay sculpture of the God of Land that he was able to confirm that the local land was dead.

Although it is a coastal city, due to the chaos of yin and yang, the temperature in Yuyang Village drops very quickly every night. This is most evident in Yushan.

A gust of cold wind blew through the window, making the papers rustle. Yaya, who had already fallen into a dream, unconsciously tightened her body.

Faced with this situation, Zhang San first adjusted his posture to make Yaya lie more comfortably, and then added a few more firewood to the campfire, making Yaya more comfortable while preventing Wang Bo's grandson from getting frostbite.

Don’t let the situation turn out that you are not killed by the ghost but instead are killed by a natural disaster, that would be a joke.

As for the knockout drug they had been given, Zhang San was not going to take the medicine. He had checked before and found that the other party had controlled the dosage very delicately and it would not have much impact on the two children. It was obvious that it was not done by a novice.

Zhang San was not interested in knowing who it was, but when facing the ghost, he also hoped that the two children could sleep well, preferably peacefully.

Unless one is a master who has achieved great success in cultivation, even adults, when faced with real fear, few can remain calm even when facing a collapse of Mount Tai.

However, just as Zhang San was about to add fuel to the fire, a special breath surged into his perception.

There were 12 people in total. They were full of yang energy and walked steadily. Most of them were young and strong. However, judging from the way they walked, most of them had not undergone systematic training and were not martial artists.

Although one of them had weak Qi and blood, he was able to clearly determine the location of the yang fire, which naturally ruled out the possibility of a ghost infestation.

Zhang San had no idea who they were, but the only thing he could confirm was that their luck didn't seem to be very good.

…

"Old man, it's too dark now. It's probably not safe to go any further. There's a land temple ahead. Why don't we stay there for the night? It's good to spend the night there if the land god blesses us!"

Listening to the words of the head guard, the leading butler seemed to be in hesitation.

As an old veteran who has traveled all over the country, when he was young, he was a knight who wielded a sword and rode a horse, and licked blood on the tip of the knife. In terms of knowledge, he is far ahead of these bodyguards.

The young man only noticed the darkness and the land temple, but he saw the fire in the temple. Obviously, they were not the first wave to arrive.

As the saying goes, it is better to stay in an abandoned grave than an abandoned temple! Although this land temple is not dilapidated, combined with the reaction of the villagers who refused to stay in Yuyang Village when passing by, this place seems to be not peaceful at all. Now it is really a bit difficult to get off the tiger's back.

As if sensing the housekeeper's embarrassment, a weak voice suddenly came from the carriage at the back. It seemed that the person who Zhang San had felt weakened by before was this person.

"It's come to this. There's no point in thinking too much. It's always good to have a place to stay. Besides, I still have some stock here."

"This is!"

The guard didn't know what the two meant, but after his young lady spoke, the butler thought for a moment and then agreed.

After getting the young lady's permission, the guard prepared to go to the temple, but before he could leave, the old man grabbed the guard's arm.

The originally withered body, which seemed like it would fall down at the slightest breeze, now burst out with powerful strength. The yang fire was so hot that it was difficult to look directly at. The guard even had the illusion that what was holding his arm was not a hand, but a pair of fine steel pliers.

"When you go in later, be alert, keep your eyes open, and show me all your knives!"

As the saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. Although the people under the rule of the Jin Dynasty lived and worked in peace and contentment, there was no guarantee that there would be no exceptions.

For those who have no courtesy and morality in their hearts, the strategy of using courtesy first and then force will not work. Instead of spending limited energy on that, it is better to directly shock them with thunder-like means.

As for those ghost troubles that are not worth mentioning, although the Gu family of Huaiqing Prefecture has declined, they are not something that can be provoked by just any Tom, Dick or Harry.

Intimidated by the old man's aura, the guard just nodded silently. As for how much he had listened to, that was questionable.

But what is certain is that their boss this time does not seem to be an ordinary person, and for an ordinary person like him, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to make a big leap forward!

Rubbing his still sore arm, the guard leader named Zhao Zhen put on the most ferocious expression of his life, called out to the other guards, then, with one fist in one hand and a knife in the other, he slowly walked towards the land temple with a heartless pace.

Although that expression looks quite awkward with the baby face.
