Chapter Twenty-Eight: Is There Someone Else?
Ye Ming exerted his magical powers all the way, and suddenly his heart moved, recalling some movies he had watched in his previous life, the people in it had cultivated to a certain level, flying eaves and walking on walls, and even stepping in the air was a breeze, I don't know if I can do it now.

Although he has not practiced light skills, the Qingdi Taihao Sutra is also a god-level exercise, and he has abundant spiritual power in his body, and when he exerts his magical powers, he also gathers spiritual power on the soles of his feet, and controls the direction of spiritual power, so that he can use his magical powers.
"I don't know if I can do it by flying the eaves and walking on the wall?" Ye Ming thought in his heart, his feet moved, he ran into the woods around him, found a giant tree, and stepped on it without saying a word.
Rub and go!
Ye Ming's spiritual power gathered on the soles of his feet, and he took three steps in a row, but before he could take the fourth step, his body lost his center of gravity and fell from the trunk.
He hurriedly controlled his body, and landed smoothly on the ground with a backward flip in the air, and he continued to practice against the giant tree with reluctance.
However, no matter what he did, he could not continue to move forward on the trunk, and after half an hour, five steps was already his limit.
He was not satisfied with this, what he wanted was to be able to stand on the trunk of the tree unharmed, walk as he wanted, and not fall off in any position.
So, he began to change the way he walked with spiritual power on the soles of his feet and practiced again.
Another half an hour passed, and the sky had begun to become dark, but he had never practiced anything famous, but because of the change in the direction of spiritual power, the surging spiritual power under his feet caused great damage to the trunk, and the last time he actually broke the giant tree.
Alas......
Ye Ming couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart, did he have to learn light skills?
But in the movies and novels I watched before, it was simply easy for an immortal cultivator to stand vertically on a wall or tree trunk, let alone take a volley in the air, or even a short flight, so how could it be so difficult for his turn......
Ye Ming looked at the sky, and didn't want to do too much practice, if it was too late, his mother and sister might have to worry.
Shaking his head, Ye Ming once again lifted and shrunk the ground and set out on the way home, only slowing down when he approached the terraced village, so as not to be discovered by some villagers.
It's May now, the weather isn't too hot, but it's not cold, most of the villagers will be working outside until nightfall, but at this time it's just dusk, and there is not a single farmer in the surrounding fields, which can't help but make Ye Ming wonder.
He was a little worried, and walked quickly towards his home, until he returned home and saw wisps of green smoke rising from his chimney.
Pushing the door in, Ye Ke was walking towards the firewood room with a bundle of firewood, and when he saw his brother coming back, he grinned at him and shouted.
Ye Ming saw that she was fine, and walked into the kitchen again, and saw that his mother was cooking, and at this time, his mother also turned her head, saw him, and hurriedly said: "Ming'er, come back, let's go and rest first, my mother will make dinner soon." ”
Ye Ming answered lightly, and when he returned to the room, he saw the black rabbit conjuring up the phantom of the little girl sitting on the bed, as if he was cultivating, but when he approached, the phantom disappeared.
"Childe, you're back!" the black rabbit whispered as he opened his eyes and spoke.
Ye Ming answered, and was about to speak, but Ye Ke walked in and said, "Brother, is there anything interesting happening in the town today, tell me about it!"
"Not really. Ye Ming said with a light smile, Ye Ke grinned, and said with some pride: "There is nothing going on in the town, but a big incident has happened in our village!"
"Oh, what's the matter, let my brother hear about it. Ye Ming roughly guessed what was going on in his heart, what else could happen in a small village, but it was just that the mountain temple was burned down, but seeing his sister like this, he couldn't tell it.
"My brother goes out early every day and comes back late, so naturally I don't know what's going on, sister, I'll tell you, but tomorrow my brother will bring me and my mother some delicious food! The sugar gourd that Li Gongzi gave me last time was delicious!" Ye Ke said with a grin.
"Okay, okay, I'll bring you sugar gourds tomorrow. Ye Ming said with some pampering.
"It's not for me, it's for me and my mother. Ye Ke corrected his brother's words and continued: "Last night, the mountain temple was burned by someone, and I don't know who was so bold to do such a rebellious thing, aren't you afraid that the mountain god will be angry and punish you......"
When Ye Ke spoke, his eyes were wide open, his tone was very exaggerated, and he seemed to be a little unbelievable about this matter, Ye Ming could only smile helplessly, the rebellious person in your mouth is your brother and me!
Ye Ke continued: "My mother and I went to the river to wash clothes this morning and heard about it, and I followed the villagers to take a look, the river temple was almost burned, only the statue of the god was intact, but it was ......."
"Just what?" Ye Ming asked.
"Brother wants to know, then I want two strings of sugar gourds, and my mother also wants two strings!"
"Okay, good, it's two strings, let's talk about it, just what?"
"It's just that the ruins of the temple and the statue of the god are covered with yellow mud and gravel, as if someone has splashed muddy water, brother, you say this thing is not strange, it seems that someone deliberately used the muddy water to put out the fire, could it be that the mountain god knew that the temple was on fire and appeared?"
"Oh, there is such a thing, I have to go and see!" Ye Ming suddenly stood up and was about to walk out, Ye Ke continued: "Brother, you don't need to go, it's all cleaned up, you can't see anything when you go now, and it's dark." ”
"This ...... It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, in fact, there is nothing to see, it's just a fire. Ye Ming pretended not to care, but he had other ideas in his heart.
The fire was set by himself, and the people were killed by themselves, but he didn't splash any muddy water to put out the fire, and he didn't expect this to happen after he left.
By the way, murder, what about Chen Miaozhu's corpse?
At that time, I thought that a fire could burn it clean, and since someone put out the fire, was the body also found?
Thinking of this, Ye Ming asked quietly: "Ke'er, isn't there still Chen Miaozhu living there in the mountain temple? Maybe the person who put out the fire is Chen Miaozhu, maybe he has been to the village today?"
"By the way, if you don't ask, I forgot about it. Ye Ke was shocked and said: "I haven't seen Chen Miaozhu in recent days, I didn't see him when I went to worship God with my mother a few days ago, the temple caught fire yesterday, and I haven't seen him today, did he leave?"
"Huh?" Ye Ming was stunned, he had only been more than half a month since he woke up, and in retrospect, he had indeed not seen Chen Miaozhu in the past half a month, if he hadn't killed the mountain temple last night, he would have almost forgotten what he looked like.
Just from my sister's words, it can be found that Chen Miaozhu's body has not been found, but since someone is fighting the fire, how can the body not be found, is there someone else, he took the body away?
Maybe it's really the mountain god who has appeared, and it seems that the plan was planned in advance......
Ye Ming made up his mind to pay attention, originally when he woke up today, he had thought about how to make the mountain god make a big mistake, so that the heavens could send down the sin, but now that he thinks about it, the mountain god must have found out.
If you don't act now, maybe in a few days, the mountain god will come to your door, and then things will become out of control.
............
After chatting with his sister for a few words, his mother called the two out to eat, and at the dinner table, Ye Ming saw that his mother looked sullen, so he asked again.
At first, her mother didn't want to answer, but she couldn't bear Ye Ming's eyes, and finally had to tell the truth of the matter.
It turned out that when I was asleep last night, there was a dream from the mountain god that said that the temple was destroyed.
In the dream, the mountain god asked the surrounding villagers to raise money to rebuild the mountain temple and sacrifice three animals.
Speaking of this sacrifice, my mother had a headache, if it was an ordinary sacrifice, it would be fine, but this three-animal sacrifice sometimes required each family to offer a hundred yuan, which was thirty more than the usual seventy yuan.
Ye Ming had given his mother ten taels of silver before, but her mother was diligent and thrifty, not to mention a hundred yuan, she would save money even if it was a penny.
"Mother, isn't it just a hundred wen, pay it, it's okay, my son can make money now, it's ten taels of silver a month, don't care about one hundred wen!" Ye Ming said, in fact, he was also very dissatisfied with the mountain god, and now he was thinking about how to get rid of him and let himself replace him.
It's just that this matter, to put it bluntly, started because of him, if he hadn't killed people and set fires, how could there be such a thing, but he didn't care, he killed all the people who should be killed, and what he paid was only ten taels of silver, which was worth it!
"By the way, brother, last night in a dream, the mountain god turned out to be a wolf-headed human body, it looked like a monster, at first everyone didn't believe that it was the mountain god, and they were talking about it during the day, just looking at his appearance like a monster, I felt incredible, and then I went to the mountain temple to take a look, only to find out that it was all true!"
At this time, Ye Ke suddenly interjected, and his tone still seemed a little exaggerated when he spoke, and he couldn't believe it.
"Ke'er, don't talk nonsense, if you are heard by the mountain god, what should you do if you give down your sin......" Mother hurriedly stopped, Ye Ke looked at Ye Ming, why don't you bow your head to eat, and stop talking.
"Mother, it's okay, let my sister say, it's not a big deal, even if the sky falls, I still have me for you, don't worry!" Ye Ming said.
"Ming'er, how can you ...... Alas...... "Mother saw that Ye Ming was the same, and she didn't know what to do."
"Mother, I'm full, you guys can rest quickly after eating, I'll go back to the house first." Ye Ming was preoccupied at this time, put down the dishes and chopsticks and returned to the house.
Walking into the house, he took out a Qi Nourishing Pill and handed it to the black rabbit, and then he lay on the bed, thinking about how to make the mountain god make a big mistake, so that he would not be punished by the heavens when he killed him.
