Sha …
After the heavenly thunder, it began to drizzle in the night sky, making rustling sounds.
"Feiyan, Xiaohua, come out. It's alright now." Ye Fan yelled as he picked up the two temple doors on the ground.
Seeing Ye Fan calling her, Akatsuki, who was hugging the little flower dog, immediately poked her head out from behind the statue and looked at Ye Fan.
At this moment, her face was pale and her eyes were filled with fear.
Just now, there was a strong wind in the temple and a raging fire. Then, there was the rolling thunder outside. The loud sound of thunder really scared her.
"It's alright now. Come out quickly." Seeing Akatsuki peeking outside, Ye Fan, who was installing the temple doors, smiled and said.
Akatsuki then walked out from behind the statue with Xiao Zhao in her arms.
"Then … where's that old woman?" Akatsuki, who was still in shock, came to Ye Fan's side. She looked around vigilantly and stuttered as she asked Ye Fan.
"First, I burned her with fire. Then, she was struck by heavenly thunder." Ye Fan was busy with his hands as he answered Akatsuki.
"Could it be that the thunder just now was …" Akatsuki asked in shock.
"That's right." Ye Fan replied, "That monster originally wanted to hide from the heavenly thunder here. In the end, it was greedy and ended up being burned by fire and struck by lightning."
"Then … what kind of monster was that?" Akatsuki asked Ye Fan again.
"Guess." After installing the temple doors, Ye Fan patted the dust off his hands as he turned to look at Akatsuki and asked with a smile.
"Don't tell me it's some kind of wolf, tiger, or leopard?" Akatsuki asked with a frown.
"This place is yellow soil everywhere. It's barren and dry. How could there be wolves, tigers, and leopards? Guess again. "Ye Fan smiled as he walked in front of the statue of the earth god and lit the two candles again.
As soon as the candlelight was lit, the temple became bright again.
"If it's not snakes, scorpions, tigers, or leopards, then are they snakes, insects, rats, and ants?" Akatsuki asked.
"It's not snakes, insects, rats, or ants either. Guess again." Ye Fan came to a corner of the temple and sat against the wall.
"I can't guess." Akatsuki sat down next to Ye Fan and shook her head.
"Let me remind you, this monster is not a living creature." Ye Fan smiled as he picked up a piece of pastry and threw it into his mouth to chew.
"Not a living thing?" Akatsuki frowned. "Could it be a ghost or a zombie?"
"This yao is not a yin ghost or zombie." Ye Fan smiled at Akatsuki. "But it is related to corpses."
"Not zombies, but related to corpses?" Akatsuki asked with confusion. "What could it be?"
"A coffin." Ye Fan looked at Akatsuki and said.
"A … coffin?" When Yue Hongji heard this, she was shocked. "You're saying that the old woman is … is a coffin …"
"That's right." Ye Fan leaned back against the adobe wall behind him and said, "That old woman is a coffin."
"A coffin can also become a spirit?" Akatsuki was surprised by Ye Fan's words.
She had heard of animals becoming spirits, but she had never heard of a coffin becoming a spirit.
"There are all kinds of strange things in this world," Ye Fan calmly replied. "In the Investiture of the Gods, even the pipa and broom could become spirits, let alone a coffin."
The charred and blackened object that had fallen in front of the temple was none other than the remaining coffin lid.
There was also a word engraved on it, "Memorial."
After Akatsuki heard this, she was so shocked that she could not speak for a long time.
"The coffin obtained the blood energy, corpse energy, and resentment of the dead, and was coincidentally buried in the Land of Extreme Evil. There will definitely be problems." Sigh. "Ye Fan let out a long sigh." I wonder how many innocent people have died tragically at the hands of that old woman. "
"Why do we have to run into everything?" Yue Hongji muttered to herself.
"I said before, I am an inauspicious person. Whoever follows me will be unlucky." Ye Fan sighed, "Even spirits are no exception."
After he finished speaking, Ye Fan picked up the water bag and opened the stopper. He placed it next to his mouth and gulped it down.
Akatsuki pursed her lips and remained silent.
"It's getting late, let's sleep." Ye Fan put down the water bag and said to Akatsuki.
"Mhmm." Akatsuki responded.
The two of them carried some hay and spread it on the ground, then each laid down on it.
Akatsuki hugged Xiao Zhao and slept beside the statue of the Earth God. Ye Fan directly laid down at the entrance of the temple to protect their safety.
The two of them did not speak for the entire night …
In the blink of an eye, it was the morning of the next day.
When Akatsuki opened her eyes, it was already late in the morning.
Last night, she was so frightened that she could not sleep peacefully until very late.
"You're awake?"
Outside the temple, the black-robed Ye Fan smiled and said to Akatsuki.
At this time, he was sitting on a withered tree stump, constantly fiddling with the fire in front of him.
The fire was crackling and crackling, it had already turned into charcoal.
"You're awake so early?" Akatsuki rubbed her eyes and walked out of the temple.
At this time, outside the temple, the air was fresh and moist, mixed with the fragrance of the earth, making people feel very comfortable.
"Seeing that you were sleeping so soundly, I didn't dare to wake you up."
Ye Fan said with a smile while fiddling with the fire.
"Why are you starting a fire so early in the morning?" Akatsuki stretched and asked Ye Fan.
"To get you some game to try." Ye Fan said with a smile.
"Game?" Akatsuki was pleasantly surprised and asked Ye Fan.
"I just walked around to see if there were any swamps nearby." Ye Fan said, "While I was at it, I caught two pheasants in the bushes a few miles away. It's just right for our breakfast."
"Did you find any swamps?" Akatsuki asked.
Ye Fan shook his head.
This place was crisscrossed with ravines, and even vegetation was extremely scarce. There was no swamps at all.
If not for Gui Linglong's words, he would not have believed that there would be swamps in this place.
"The southwest border is so big, it must be difficult to find swamps." Akatsuki comforted Ye Fan. "Let's go slowly, we will definitely find them."
Ye Fan nodded.
"Where are the pheasants?" Akatsuki asked Ye Fan. "Why didn't I see them?"
"Under the fire," Ye Fan replied with a smile. "There is so much yellow soil here, so I mixed it with yellow mud and made beggar's chicken."
"That's great." Akatsuki was pleasantly surprised when she heard Ye Fan's words. "I haven't eaten your food in a long time."
"Go wake Xiaohua up. This beggar's chicken will be ready soon." Ye Fan said to Akatsuki.
"Okay, I'll go now." Akatsuki turned around and walked into the temple to wake up Xiao Zhao, who was still sleeping soundly.
Ye Fan used a branch to push aside the charcoal on the fire, then picked out the two balls of mud buried under it.
He patted the air with his palm, and the yellow mud wrapped around the pheasant immediately fell off, revealing the fat and tender chicken meat.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Akatsuki walked out of the temple with the sleepy Xiao Zhao in her arms.
As soon as she smelled the fragrance of the pheasant, the sleepy Xiao Zhao immediately became alert.
She jumped down from Akatsuki's arms and trotted to Ye Fan's side.
Looking at the fragrant pheasant, Xiao Zhao's eyes lit up and she drooled.
Following Ye Fan, there was always good food to eat.
"Gluttonous fella." Ye Fan chuckled as he tore off a drumstick and passed it to Xiao Zhao.
Xiao Zhao, who was in her puppy form, grabbed the drumstick and wolfed it down.
"This is for you. Be careful, it's hot."
Ye Fan tore off another drumstick and passed it to Akatsuki.
Akatsuki received the drumstick and lifted her veil gently. She opened her mouth gently and started eating.
Even though she had changed her attire, her appearance remained the same.
In order to prevent Ghost Eyes Qian Seeker from discovering them, she had to wear her veil at all times.
"Where are we going later?" Akatsuki asked Ye Fan as she ate the drumstick.
"We'll continue heading in the Southwest direction and find a town to settle down. We'll scout around carefully."
Ye Fan tore off a chicken wing and said …
After a round of eating, the two of them and the fox stepped onto the mountain path once more.
This time around, the two of them executed their movement skills.
Of course, they did not fly through the air. Instead, they executed a technique called Land Flight, tapping their toes on the ground and leaping.
For people of the pugilistic world, such a movement skill was nothing special.
Their actions would not raise any suspicions at all.
The two of them did not stop and leaped without stopping. Before long, they had traveled close to a hundred miles.
"There's a small town not too far ahead. Let's go there to settle down."
Ye Fan said to Akatsuki beside him.
With his eyesight, he quickly discovered where the crowd was gathered.
"Alright." Akatsuki nodded.
After the time it took for half an incense to burn, the two of them arrived at the main street of the small town.
It was already morning, and the streets were bustling with activity.
When she caught sight of the scene before her, Akatsuki was stunned.
This was truly a place where bandits roamed freely. Be it men or women, old or young, everyone was carrying a blade!
Even a seven or eight-year-old child had a half foot long dagger strapped to his waist!
On both sides of the main street, weapon shops could be seen one after another, and they were everywhere!
Rows upon rows of weapon racks were hung with all kinds of weapons. The blades were flashing and the shadows of the swords were eerie!
All kinds of clanking sounds of hammering could be heard incessantly!
In all the shops, there were several shirtless burly men standing there.
Some of them were hammering the weapons in front of the iron furnace, some were sharpening the weapons, and some were arranging the newly forged weapons neatly. It could be said that each of them was performing their duties in an orderly manner.
Seeing this scene, Ye Fan smiled.
Everything here made him, who was from a family of weaponsmiths, feel very familiar.
Being in this place made him feel as if he had returned to his youth.
"This is really a good place." Ye Fan said with a smile.
"Everyone here carries a blade. The people here must be tough and the security is extremely poor. How can it be a good place?" Akatsuki looked at the forest of blades and arrows around her and frowned.
"You're wrong." Ye Fan looked around and said with a smile, "Just because everyone carries a blade doesn't mean that they're valiant. You're even carrying a phoenix wing blade. Could it be that you're also a valiant person?"
"I …" Akatsuki was rendered speechless by Ye Fan.
"Because everyone here carries a blade, the security here must be very good. Do you understand? "Ye Fan turned his head and asked Akatsuki.
Akatsuki nodded and seemed to understand.
Everyone had a weapon. Naturally, they were wary of each other and didn't dare to cause trouble.
In this way, the security was excellent.
"Let's go and take a look." Ye Fan said and stepped forward.
