Chapter 738: Chapter 738: Kill the Chicken to Warn the Monkey

Zhao Yuanlang didn’t hesitate to agree to his proposal.

Di Yelei didn’t respond, but instead crouched and sneaked for a while before standing up and walking boldly to the Taoist temple’s door to knock.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

The sound of knocking was particularly loud in the quiet valley.

Almost at the first sound of the door, the elder Daoist inside the temple suddenly opened his eyes.

A green light flashed quickly in his eyes, then vanished.

“Has it finally come? Thirty years! This poor Daoist has been waiting for you for thirty full years. This time, I will not allow any mistakes to happen. Never!”

Di Yelei knocked for quite a while and patiently waited for a moment before faint sounds came from inside.

“Who’s there?”

An old voice rang out.

“Taoist master, I’m a hunter from the Upper Village. I want to come in and have some water. Is it possible?”

Inside, there was silence again. Just when everyone thought there was no one talking, faint sounds came from inside. A moment later, the door of the Taoist temple was pulled open from inside, revealing an old figure.

“Oh, it’s Third Son Di! Please, come in.”

The Daoist master opened the door: “Why don’t you invite your friends to come in and sit?”

Di Yelei, Zhao Yuanlang, and the others were all stunned! Apparently, they hadn’t expected this old Daoist to notice them.

Since they had been discovered, Zhao Yuanlang no longer planned to hide. He also walked out of his hiding place one after another and walked over.

“My respects to the Taoist master!”

Zhao Yuanlang straightened his clothes, but he and the others had been running for their lives all night long, and not only were they injured, but they were also in a sorry state.

Although Zhao Yuanlang was disheveled at the moment, he had been born noble and had been in a superior position all his life, so he naturally exuded a strong aura of one who occupied a higher position.

However, the old Daoist master didn’t pay attention to these things. A green light flashed in his eyes, and when he swept his eyes over Zhao Yuanlang, he saw a golden dragon roaring and tumbling inside his body! This golden dragon seemed to realize that someone was spying on the secrets of heaven, and suddenly turned its head, with a flash of golden light in its dragon eyes.

The old Daoist master was so frightened that he hurriedly withdrew his Taoist techniques and fell to the ground with a shudder. It took him quite a while to get up.

The sudden change in the old Daoist’s complexion led Zhao Yuanlang to mistakenly believe that it was the bloody smell on their bodies that had frightened the other party.

He smiled awkwardly, “We met a wolf pack in the mountains and have been running ragged ever since. We didn’t mean to disturb the Taoist master and intended to drink some water and leave. We didn’t expect to disturb your practice, and it’s our fault.”

It took the old Daoist a long while to regain his composure, and he couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

“Never mind! People from outside bring convenience to themselves. Gentlemen, please come in! Please come in!”

Although the old Daoist was cordial in his words, he couldn’t help but feel bitter in his heart.

He seemed to have been scared and fell just now, but in fact, the golden light in the dragon’s eyes had hurt his Taoist techniques, and he could not use them at will for at least three days to reveal the secrets of heaven.

Zhao Yuanlang and the others naturally wouldn’t be polite, and they entered the Taoist temple one after another.

It was then that they discovered that the temple was truly empty, as Di Yelei had said. There was only one room in the middle with a clay statue of Qiu Chuji and a pumpon, while the side halls on both sides were crumbling and the walls had been hollowed out so that they were entirely uninhabitable.

Such a quiet and serene place was very suitable for their current situation, and it was clear that Zhao Yuanlang was also very satisfied with their current residence.
