Chapter 57: The Warm Resort (29)

Several people were also startled when they saw this, and they all looked in the direction where the voice came from, and then they saw the largest white candle in the middle of the offering table, falling in the direction of everyone, and smashing a plate of fruit placed in front of the candle.

The female guide, who had been restored to the appearance of an ordinary person, was frightened, she glanced at the statue behind the offering table in fear, and then reluctantly stepped forward, respectfully straightened the fallen candle, and finally put the fallen things back in place. Only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief, knelt down in front of the futon again, and bowed respectfully three times.

Standing up again, the female guide's attitude towards everyone has improved a lot, although she still has a cold face, she does not force everyone to kneel and worship this so-called water god Niangniang.

"It's kind of interesting...... It is worthy of being a ghost ...... who can possess the realm" Jin Haiping muttered quietly, Yun Lan looked up at his expression, and then saw that the corners of his mouth were pulled out...... An excited smile?

He was definitely not an E-class hunter, Yun Lan's eyes narrowed, and he had already concluded this conclusion in his heart. After a few days of getting along, she is very sure that Jin Haiping is definitely not a person who likes excitement and challenges, and from his unhurried and comfortable attitude, it can be seen that in his heart, this task is not very difficult.

So...... What is the purpose of his coming to this E-class mission? If it's just a normal bounty, it's a monthly must-do for E-rank, and he must have a must-do for his level.

So...... What could he rely on to break through the limits of his level and successfully downgrade here? Yun Lan, with her limited experience and cognition, was unable to draw reasonable conclusions. Don't...... Could it be that this bounty system deliberately transferred him to this mission? So what is his mission? Hunters assisting in this mission? Investigate the truth behind the scenes? Or...... Looking for something special for the system that exists in this mission?

Kim Hae-pyeong's identity is a mystery, but for now, he is a friend and foe. Since it would not affect the smooth progress of this mission, Yun Lan felt that there was no need for her to snoop on his secrets. Thinking of this, Yun Lan withdrew her snooping gaze, but she didn't notice that Jin Haiping's afterglow had already swept over her face.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... Travelers, friends. At this time, the female guide suddenly spoke. Everyone's eyes converged on her again, and she said unhurriedly: "This visit to Qianhu Temple is free sightseeing. You can explore on your own, just gather here again by 5:30. ”

"So...... Everyone, please feel free to do so. As soon as she finished speaking, she walked over to the rest of the futons on either side of the main hall, sat down on her knees with her hands folded, and stopped moving.

"Hehe, ghost worship, it's really interesting." The corners of Jin Haiping's mouth showed a mocking arc again, "Life is not respected by others, but death is to enjoy this vanity." When the words fell, the lights and shadows in the hall swayed and the wind gusted, but he was not afraid at all and stepped out of the temple door unhurriedly.

Several hunters followed, and the travelers looked at each other and hurried to follow.

At this time, the entrance of the hall had already been blocked with many villagers looking inside, and when they saw a few people coming out, they quickly lowered their heads, and then controlled their slow steps to avoid them.

Jin Haiping ignored it, turned sideways, and passed through a crack in the crowd, but the villagers next to him were scared.

A dozen people followed the stream behind him, and several villagers slowly poured into the main hall, taking turns to kneel in front of the statue, and then put the tribute to be offered on the long and large offering table.

Yun Lan turned her head and stopped looking, and took a few steps forward to keep up with Jin Haiping in front. At this time, he was leading the people to the side hall.

Yun Lan looked into the side hall, and there was a spirit card placed inside.

"Would you like to go in and have a look?" Yun Lan asked, Jin Haiping said "um", and then took the lead and stepped into the threshold of the side hall.

The spirit card is very large, and there are three words engraved vertically on it - a lantern. The spirit card is surrounded by layers of white wax, surrounding the spirit card in the middle, between the lights flickering, the words engraved on it are becoming more and more weird.

Yun Lan didn't actually think that there could be any clues here, she looked around shallowly, and was about to turn around and leave, when she was stunned to see Jin Haiping step forward, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, she pulled out the spirit card.

", Jin Haiping! You! Lin Zhixing was directly stunned, and his fingers pointing at Jin Haiping trembled a little.

The entire hall instantly cooled down at this moment, the candles were extinguished from the middle, and everyone instantly took a defensive posture.

But he saw that Jin Haiping still looked at ease, and under the spirit card he picked up was a solid stone support, and there was no imaginary groove. Unwillingly, he touched the stone tray and the wooden plaque again, but indeed found nothing. Jin Haiping pursed his lips in some disappointment, then put the spirit card back on the stone support, turned around, and saw the nervous crowd, he couldn't help but laugh a little: "Why are you so nervous?" ”

Lin Zhixing's eyes widened, and he hurriedly said in surprise and anger: "You are embarrassed to say!" This is the territory of the source! You have repeatedly provoked others, don't you think we are dying fast enough! ”

Jin Haiping just shrugged his shoulders when he heard this: "It doesn't dare." ”

"Clams?" Lin Zhixing didn't know why.

At this time, Xu Wenlong said as if he had figured out something: "Indeed, the realm is the foundation of a ghost's important power. This ghost has been greatly injured because the domain has been broken, and it is absolutely impossible for him to take action in person in a short period of time. And one of its core ghosts, the female ghost in the front desk, was also eliminated by us last night, and its ability at this time was obviously insufficient, so it didn't dare to attack again. ”

Jin Haiping raised his eyebrows, Lin Zhixing suddenly showed a sudden expression, and then touched his nose, revealing a somewhat embarrassed look.

Jin Haiping didn't care too much, he finally walked around the side hall, and then walked out of the door of the side hall.

Yun Lan thought that he was looking for something, maybe this thing was related to the source thing, maybe it was on the source thing. If it is a special item related to this mission, then Jin Haiping will definitely tell the hunters directly. So obviously, what he's looking for has little to do with the mission, and most likely has something to do with the purpose of his visit.

Seeing that he no longer stayed out of the temple gate, Yun Lan also went out. Walking outside the hall, Jin Haiping took the initiative to turn his head, bent down slightly, and asked Yun Lan gently: "Yun Lan, have you seen the old man surnamed Zhang yesterday?" ”

Yun Lan shook his head, and Jin Haiping asked a few more people behind him, as did the other hunters.

Jin Haiping was slightly disappointed, and then walked to the door of the main hall and looked at the villagers inside. After a long time, he withdrew his gaze, and then leaned against the outer wall of the main hall not far from the main hall door, clasped his hands, and examined the villagers who walked into the main hall one by one.

"He is the father of this lantern, but he hasn't arrived at this time, isn't he afraid......" Lin Zhixing muttered in a low voice.

"Don't guess!" Wang Xinru glared at him dissatisfied. Her feelings at the time would not be wrong, that Zhang Lao's statement was not false.

"Jin Haiping, you say...... Is there a possibility, maybe Zhang Lao has come. Merely...... He's not here. Yun Lan spoke up at this time.

Jin Haiping glanced at her, nodded slightly, and then asked rhetorically: "That...... Where do you think he will be? ”

Yun Lan looked left and right, also pondering. Indeed, if this is a big place, it is impossible to hide an old man. Moreover, since the old man knew about the agreement with several people, he would definitely not run to some nowhere where no one was seen. So...... Where will he be?

"Eh, by the way......" At this time, Wang Xinru seemed to think of something, and said with some trepidation, "Old man Zhang is the father of the source thing, and he can be regarded as the closest person in the world to the source thing." Wouldn't that ...... He also played some special role in this worship? Like what...... High Priest? MC? Or a divine messenger or something...... That's why it can't appear in time? ”

When several people heard this, their eyes lit up, which made sense. Jin Haiping nodded slowly in agreement, then got up, gathered several ordinary tourists together, and arranged for them to gather in a corner of the courtyard. Finally, turning around, he beckoned several hunters to follow him into the main hall again.

The futon in the main hall was kneeling with villagers at this time, and some villagers even brought the futon themselves, while those who had no place simply knelt directly on the cold and dusty floor.

Jin Haiping walked ahead, he walked straight through the crowd, and then came directly to the side of the statue. Gently pushing the wall behind the statue, the traces of the secret door suddenly appeared on the wall.

Sure enough, the corners of Jin Haiping's mouth drew an arc of "sure enough", and then pushed the secret door and walked in.

Inside is a dark room with no windows, the dark room is not large, and the air is also a little blocked. There are some props that have accumulated dust for a long time, and in front of a simple wooden dresser there are two lotus lamps and two half-burned white waxes, and in front of the wax stands a rickety figure.

The rickety figure seemed to turn around with some surprise, and as soon as Yun Lan entered the dark room, he met his eyes.

Sure enough, it was that old man Zhang. However, he was wearing a wide cloak at this time, and a tall and twisted crutch was held in his hand.

He was a little stunned to see so many people coming, so he took a step back.

"Old man, it's us." At this time, Jin Haiping spoke softly.

Hearing the familiar voice, Zhang Lao was obviously relieved, but then he immediately remembered something, and some nervously lowered his voice and asked a few people: "You guys...... How did you find here? That thing out there...... I didn't embarrass you, did I? ”

"It was injured by us, so it doesn't dare to attack for the time being." Jin Haiping replied blandly.

Old man Zhang seemed to be a little incredulous about the strength of a few people, he glanced up and down a few people, and said, "You guys...... It's okay if you're all right...... As you can see, I'm now tidying up my outfit. Tonight, we, the locals, will go to a stream behind the main hall to carry out the ritual of putting lanterns, and the lanterns will flow down the stream and into the Qianhu Lake to appease the ...... inside The god of water, and I, need to take the lead. ”
