Main Text Chapter 718: Staying Overnight at a Deserted House

Mr. Xu and others who followed them into the City God's Temple also burned incense and candles to pay homage. They took the opportunity to take a closer look at Miao Yi and found that this man stood out from the crowd with an extraordinary bearing. He had no intention of kneeling down at all. This was truly blasphemous. Okay. Big courage!

When he turned to go out, he passed by Miao Yi. Although Miao Yi didn't look sideways, he had already noticed that these people were following him furtively. ?. .

When he and Old Man Liu left the City God's Temple, Old Man Liu still carefully advised: "Sir, you'd better pay homage to me to ensure your safety!"

Miao Yi smiled lightly and said: "The only thing that ghosts and monsters can do is worship me, how can they bear my worship?"

He has more than ten thousand monks, and asking him to worship a ghost cultivator is simply a joke, not to mention that he can tell from the condensed yin energy that the ghost cultivator's cultivation level may not be high.

Old man Liu was dumbfounded. How could he say such disrespectful words in the City God's Temple? He quickly dragged Miao Yi's hand and left.

The two of them wandered around the city until dusk, and arrived at a relatively remote place. They each ordered a bowl of thinly sliced ​​meat noodles from a noodle restaurant. In fact, it doesn't matter whether Miao Yi eats or not. It doesn't matter if he doesn't eat for a few years now, but Old Man Liu will definitely not be able to bear it, so Miao Yi has the mentality of trying the local flavor, so it doesn't hurt to try it. When it came time to pay the bill, it was Old Man Liu who was rushing to treat him. Seeing that it was only a matter of a few copper coins, Miao Yi just laughed it off and didn't care.

This place is already a relatively remote place in the city. The ground is covered with fallen leaves in the wind, and a few wild dogs keep barking "woof, woof". When Miao Yi casts a spell and glared at him, he immediately felt as if he had seen a tiger. He was so frightened that he ran away with his tail between his legs.

"Sir, it's getting dark soon. You'd better go back to the palace and rest. How about I go shopping with you tomorrow?" Old man Liu looked around and said. He was no better than Miao Yi. He had been walking for a long time and his feet were indeed tired.

I happened to walk outside an abandoned house, and the grass at the door was waist-high. Miao Yi glanced at Old Man Liu. "Tired? Then stay here for the night."

He pointed to the house next to him.

"Ah!" Old Man Liu was startled, and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "You can't do it, Master, you can't do this. You see, this house doesn't even have a doorkeeper. There might be something unclean inside, so how can we spend the night there."

Miao Yi asked curiously: "Is it possible to avoid unclean things by putting two more pictures on the door?"

Don’t even know this? Old Man Liu immediately looked at him as if he were a monster, nodded and said, "With the door god guarding the house, monsters and ghosts will not dare to break into the house." Is there such a thing? Miao Yi asked: "Is it true that there is a door god who can succeed in everything?"

"This..." Liu Laohan hesitated for a while and said: "Some people have posted the door god but are disrespectful to the door god. Naturally, they cannot get the protection of the door god." Forced Love Marriage: 30 Million Childbirth Contract

Emotions are psychological effects! Miao Yi smiled and said, "It'll be fine. It doesn't hurt to stay overnight."

Old Man Liu hurriedly said: "Master, if you don't want to go back to the palace, let's find a nearby inn to stay. You really can't live in this kind of place."

"It's okay! What's there to be afraid of!" Miao Yi grabbed his wrist and dragged him to the door. He pushed open the almost rotten courtyard door and broke in.

He just wanted to see what was going on with the few people following him. It would be inconvenient to go to a crowded place. It was easier for people to come to the place where there were no people. When he first arrived, he had to get to know everything again.

It can be seen that this house was once the residence of a wealthy family, with a deep courtyard. It's just that the luxuriant grass and nightfall are about to fall, which can't help but give people a gloomy feeling. Miao Yi opened his Dharma Eyes and scanned the surroundings, but found nothing unclean.

Old man Liu, who was forcibly pulled in, looked worried. He looked around cautiously, not daring to stay away from Miao Yi. He followed Miao Yi step by step. If he accidentally stepped on a dead branch under his feet, he would startle himself.

Outside, Mr. Xu and others followed them to the door of the abandoned house. They looked at each other and seemed a little afraid.

In the house, Miao Yi walked around and finally stood in a hall. It could be seen that it was originally a library. There was a bookshelf inside, filled with various slips and thread-bound books, but they were sealed away by thick dust. , and no one cares about it for I don’t know how long it has been.

Miao Yi took a scroll of slips in his hand, brushed off the dust, and unfolded it. It was just what he wanted. The content written in it was naturally about the world, which was exactly what he needed to know. Then he turned back to Old Man Liu and said, "This is it. Clean it up a little and spend the night here."

"Ah!" Old Man Liu said with a bitter face: "Sir, it's cold at night, how can you spend the night without a bed or quilt?"

"You clean this place first, and I'll go look for it!" Miao Yi put down the slip and turned around.

After a while, Miao Yi came out from nowhere with a clean brocade quilt, leaving Old Man Liu speechless...

After cleaning the hall for a while, it was already dark. A desktop lantern was lit on a long table. Miao Yi sat cross-legged on the futon and sat sideways on the long table, flipping through the "Traveling Around the World" in his hand. You know that the Great Yan Kingdom is just one of hundreds of countries in the world.

Old man Liu was cleaning books not far away. Following Miao Yi's instructions, he cleaned out the books that were not bitten by insects and wiped the dust. Then he moved the stacks to the long desk for Miao Yi to read.

When the bright moon was in the sky, Mr. Xu and others who had been waiting outside the house for a long time finally couldn't help but barge in. When they saw that Miao Yi did not run away, but instead read in the hall at night, they looked at each other in confusion. Rivers and mountains are thousands of miles long and leisurely

But Miao Yi didn't even raise his eyes to look at it, he seemed to be fascinated by it.

Master Xu waved his hand and pointed, and several people immediately went to the main hall to clean up, and soon they also lit the lights inside. Someone also came over, ignoring Miao Yi and Old Man Liu, and walked unscrupulously to the bookshelf in the study hall and moved a pile of books away. Master Xu also read there at night.

Seeing so many people and so much popularity, the nervous Old Man Liu was somewhat relieved, because there are more people and more courage.

After Old Man Liu cleaned up a pile of books as tall as a person, Miao Yi said calmly: "Enough, you are tired all day today, take a rest."

Old Man Liu was old, and he was really tired after accompanying Miao Yi for a day. After answering, he ran to the floor bed next to him and got into the quilt. He lay down beautifully, and even held the quilt and smelled it. He had never slept on such a good quilt in his life. He thought that it was ownerless anyway, so he might as well take it back tomorrow.

After a while, Old Man Liu began to snore.

Miao Yi was there, but Master Xu and others in the main hall looked over here from time to time.

After midnight, Master Xu finally lost his temper. He threw the book and said loudly: "Friends in the library, why don't you come over and have a chat?"

If it weren't for the fact that Miao Yi was not an ordinary person, he would have gone up to him and questioned him. Why would it take so long? People are divided into different levels. People like them will naturally know how to handle things.

This shout woke up the sleeping old man Liu, and he looked over here.

Miao Yi flipped through the pages of the book and said calmly: "Who are you and why are you following me secretly?"

Seeing that the other party had no intention of coming over, Master Xu got up and led a few people to walk over. They all rushed into the hall, shocking the old man Liu to sit up wrapped in a quilt, staring at a group of followers with swords in their hands.

Master Xu stood in front of the long table, "Xu Liu, one of the managers of the Liang Wang Mansion!"

The old man Liu wrapped in a quilt was stunned.

"Oh!" Miao Yi nodded indifferently, his eyes still on the book, and understood what was going on.

Xu Liu, Master Xu said in a deep voice: "It seems that you are not an ordinary person, why do you pretend to be the cousin of the princess?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. I just borrowed the light of the palace to make it easier to walk. I have no bad intentions." Miao Yi's eyes moved from the book to the light of the lantern on the long table, which suddenly swayed a little disorderly. "I have no bad intentions, but it doesn't mean that others have no bad intentions towards you. I advise you to leave here quickly. If it's too late, you may get into trouble."... Campus Ace

"Trouble?" Xu Liu snorted coldly: "If you don't make it clear, it won't be so easy to send us away. Maybe we will force you to go with us."

Miao Yi shook his head slightly and said nothing.

The wind suddenly blew in the courtyard outside, and a gust of cold wind blew the grass and trees rustling.

Xu Liu and others seemed to find something wrong. They slowly turned around and looked outside. They saw a gray fog floating in the courtyard from somewhere, which seemed to drop the temperature here instantly.

The gray fog became more and more, and suddenly it surged and condensed into a ball, revealing a fierce ghost with disheveled hair, white clothes, pale and ferocious face. A third-grade white lotus appeared between his eyebrows, grinning at everyone.

Xu Liu and others were shocked, and Old Man Liu was so scared that he went into bed and shivered.

Miao Yi's mouth curled up with a hint of amusement. He was not a person who had never seen a ghost, and ghosts would not look so ugly. This ghost cultivator deliberately made it hideous and terrifying purely to deliberately give people psychological pressure, and it didn't seem to be killing people, otherwise there would be no need to be so artificial.

"Give me your life!" The evil ghost laughed darkly, and suddenly floated over, rushing straight to Xu Liu in the middle.

Clang clang clang! The followers drew their swords one after another, but Xu Liu flipped his hand and a yellow talisman, rubbed it on his sleeves, and slapped a ball of flames towards the evil ghost.

The evil ghost was shocked, and quickly dodged from the flames, retreated back to the courtyard, and looked at Xu Liu in doubt.

The power of the flames could not last long, and the attack was only a matter of a moment. After a flash, Xu Liu was on guard with another yellow talisman in his hand.

Miao Yi was puzzled at first, wondering how this thin piece of yellow paper could have the power to attack. But then he smelled a hint of gunpowder, and it suddenly dawned on him. His eyes lit up. On the yellow talisman, a cultivator with profound magic power cast a spell and set up a formation, reserving some magic power on the weak bearing capacity of the paper. And the yellow talisman was obviously coated with some flammable drugs. When the friction caused the fire, the formation on the paper was destroyed as soon as it burned, and the magic power reserved on the yellow talisman was released. With the help of inertia, it had the attack power of magic power plus fire.

Miao Yi was amazed in his heart. The big world is indeed the big world. Such exquisite magic is small and easy to use, even mortals can control it. I have never seen it in the small world. However, the power of this talisman is not enough. The mana attack power is more than enough to deal with a first-grade cultivator, barely enough to deal with a second-grade cultivator, and it is probably not enough to deal with a third-grade cultivator. Moreover, this yellow talisman may have another disadvantage. It cannot be exposed to water. Once it comes into contact with water, the bearing capacity of the paper is weakened, and the mana in it is lost. This talisman is probably useless.)
