Chapter Twenty-Eight: Strange Dreams: High Monks

This system ...... It doesn't deliberately extend the mission for me, does it? What kind of garbage system, you just want to torture me, right?

Then Lan Qi's eyes darkened, and he was stunned for a moment: "What's the matter?" I usually go back at once, why is the screen still black today? ”

Just when he was puzzled, a person suddenly walked out in front of him. This person was Mu Qing, she looked at Lan Qi and said, "Don't believe that voice anymore, he's lying to you." If you go on like this, you will never recover. ”

He wondered a little in his heart, what did this mean? Isn't that trying to harm me? Still planting the system? Anyway, how did you know I had a system?

These questions made Lan Qi feel very strange.

But it's also true, and I've never told anyone about it. How do you know?

Just as he was still thinking about the problem, he suddenly woke up. Lan Qi looked around and found that he was still in this ancestral hall. Now it's dawn outside, and it's just a dream! I thought she really knew, and I was shocked.

Then, Lan Qi got up and stretched. And patted the ash on his body: "Lying on the ground for a night, I feel uncomfortable all over." It's better to sleep in a comfortable bed, and hurry up to find the inn. I'm still so tired after a night's sleep, ha~~"

Now I feel that my whole body is sore, and my neck seems to be stiff. Uncomfortable!

After making sure that there was no one around, he left the ancestral hall. This small city is not much different from the previous one. However, it is much more lively than before. In such a lively place, there shouldn't be any youkai, right?

Just as Lan Qi was thinking this, he suddenly saw a ghost in front of his eyes. These ghosts are all over the streets, and they all gather in crowded places.

He also thought he was dazzled, and couldn't help but rub his eyes and ask the system: "System!" Am I dazzled? I actually saw a ghost in broad daylight. ”

[You are not dazzled, it is indeed a ghost.] There's an old saying, 'When you're poor, ghosts don't want to come in.' ’】

"Is this true? I thought this was a joke, but I didn't expect it to be true. "Although Lan Qi often sees ghosts, it is the first time in broad daylight. And it's all over the street, and all of these ghosts don't have feet.

Gathering in a crowded place as if I was eavesdropping on them, which reminded me of a sentence. 'Ghosts are also afraid of loneliness'!

Lan Qi walked down the street, always feeling that someone was watching him. Are these ghosts?

He looked in the direction of the ghosts, and they saw themselves observing them. Immediately turning his head over, Lan Qi frowned and whispered to the system: "These ghosts...... Why do you keep staring at me? Do they know me? ”

The system doesn't answer either, which is weird. Sure enough, I can't stay in such a crowded place, but I don't have a place to make myself feel more eerie.

Lan Qi thought to himself, "Am I already being targeted by all the ghosts now?" Sure enough, it's a special 'Tang monk meat', it's difficult! ”

Afterwards, Lan Qi found an inn to stay in. And put a yellow charm on the door and window to set up a protective cover for himself, so that he can rest assured.

The ghosts can't get in now, but there aren't many yellow talismans on their bodies. Counting the ones I used before, I still have six yellow talismans on my body now. He had to go to the temple to replenish it, and he immediately took out the map.

"There is only one temple around me, and it is relatively close to the current location. It's about a kilometer, huh...... Go tomorrow. "Seeing the distance, it's not too far and it's not very close. Lan Qi decided to go tomorrow, just hoping to spend tonight in peace.

I really want to take a few days off, it's really troublesome to do tasks every night. There are no rewards yet, so it should be six now, right? How many have you unlocked?

As soon as he thought that the bestiary had unlocked a few, he immediately took out the illustrated book that he had only seen once.

He flipped through and found himself being chased by youkai every night. Now that twenty-nine have been unlocked, there is one more to claim the reward. The reward is to turn on the weapon enhancement system, which is okay.

His own weapon has been a peachwood sword for so long. Nothing was of much use, except that the mahogany sword was the rusty iron sword. I feel that except for the robe and the Buddha beads, these two swords are rubbish.

Why don't you go out now and meet a monster directly to unlock? ...... If you think about it, forget it. I don't want to meet youkai again, but...... Tonight's mission seems to be a Nakshatra. I've already unlocked its illustrated book, so it's really troublesome.

Let's go out!

After some ideological struggle, Lan Qi immediately got up and walked out of the city. Outside the city, the scene here is really surprising. There were only a few trees, and even the grass on the ground was clean.

"It's so clean out there, and the monsters don't stay here. Let's go to the temple first, and replenish the rune paper first. Lan Qi couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the piece of grass in front of him and the clean grass that had been treated. Then I took out the map and walked while looking for the monsters I hadn't seen on the road, but I had basically seen the monsters along the way.

And it's all unlocked on the book.,It's still a little monster.。 Therefore, Lan Qi just took out the peachwood sword to solve one by one. Although these little demons are all harmful spirits, they are also very weak.

After experiencing more than half a month, although I am not very good. But seeing the system fighting with Mu Qing, I still learned a little bit more or less.

It's quite a bit of combat power to deal with these ordinary little demons, after walking for a while. A monster suddenly appeared in front of him, and this monster looked strange. The body is like a caterpillar, and there are several small ones around it. The huge body was the size of two adults, and it looked like a fat man of 500 pounds.

Lan Qi was also afraid of being discovered, so he immediately hid: "What kind of monster is this?" Looks like it's supposed to be a mother, system! ”

[This is the 'dominatrix', a monster that eats children.] 】

"This is the legendary 'Dominatrix'? What does it have to do with that Nakshatra? Lan Qi thought of the medicine fork before, and the medicine fork was also called Yaksha. So what is the relationship between the dominatrix and it?

[It doesn't matter, the word 'Nakshatra' originated in India and describes a fierce person or monster.] That's how the Yaksha got its name, got it? The system looked at his curious appearance, and slowly explained to him.

It's an explanation, but it always feels like it's perfunctory.

But Lan Qi doesn't care, since it's a fierce monster. Then I'll take a detour, I can't beat it: "These bestiaries should be unlockable, right?" It's time for the new features to be turned on, right? ”

[Hello so annoying! PokΓ©dex unlocked: Dominatrix...... The enhancement system can be activated, and the Iron Sword can be strengthened in the blacksmith. The Peachwood Sword strengthens itself! 】

Strengthen yourself? How to strengthen? This is a wooden sword, and it was all cut off. Do you want me to practice my sword with blood?

Forget it, I'll ask the system later. Bypass it first and go to the temple to replenish the yellow talisman.

Then, Lan Qi cringed and lay on the ground and moved forward a little.

The dominatrix was now sleeping with her children leaning against the tree, but luckily it would be troublesome if they were seen. Hurry up, I don't want to fight the legendary 'Dominatrix'.

After bypassing this dominatrix, Lan Qi was relieved. He had now walked into the woods, less than six hundred meters away from the temple. I didn't expect it to be quite fast, I thought it would take me half an hour to walk.

I didn't expect it to take only twenty minutes, if it weren't for this dominatrix getting in the way. Maybe a little faster, after walking for a while. Finally it was time to see the temple, which was built on a hill. Usually there are quite a few people who come to worship, but today there are not many people. I don't know what happened when he walked to this temple.

Only then did I find out that there were so few people. It was they who put up a sign at the entrance of the temple with two lines of words written on it. But I can't read it myself, why not traditional characters?

I can at least understand a little bit of traditional Chinese characters, but you are not even traditional now. I know a hair!

I suspect you're embarrassing my fat tiger!

At this time, a monk with a broom came over, and he said to Lan Qi with his hands folded: "Donor, the little monk has been waiting for a long time. Please follow me! ”

Lan Qi looked around with a confused expression, and I was alone here: "Me? ”

"Yes!" The sweeper nodded. Aren't you talking nonsense, is there anyone else here besides you?

Then Lan Qi followed the monk inside with a confused face, but he still couldn't help but ask, "How did you know I was coming?" ”

The sweeping monk took the broom in his hand and led the way in front, and replied to Lan Qi as he walked: "The little monk just came here to receive the donor at the words of the abbot, and the abbot knew that you would come a few days ago." ”

"O monk!" Lan Qi also felt a little magical, is this monk and what is it? You only came here a few days ago, and you knew it as soon as I came? Can this predict the future?

Later, Lan Qi was taken by the sweeping monk to the Buddha statue in the temple.

In front of the Buddha statue, an old monk in a robe sits cross-legged on the ground. Facing the statue, fold your hands and close your eyes.

The sweeping monk stood behind the old monk with his hands folded and bent down and said, "Abbot, the people have arrived. ”

"Hmmm! You go get busy first, I'll just come here. The monk didn't open his eyes, but just sat cross-legged on the ground and said slowly.

"Yes, Abbot." Then the sweeping monk turned to leave, and Lan Qi couldn't help but ask him curiously, "That...... Abbot, how did you know I was coming? ”

The old monk smiled, then opened his eyes and looked at the Buddha statue in front of him and said, "Heh! Come, kneel down with me and worship the Buddha statue. Listen to me! ”

He scratched his head and knelt in front of the statue.

The old monk said, "I heard it from the Buddha beads a few days ago. Say that a stranger will come, and let me wait to show you a clear way. ”

Show me the way? What does that mean?

Lan Qi frowned, a little incomprehensible: "Why did the abbot say this?" It's amazing to be able to guess that I'm a stranger. But...... Pointing to a clear path, I don't really understand. I haven't done anything bad, or have I gone the wrong way? ”
