At the same time, thousands of miles away, Wei Fuyuan was chasing behind the shadow at the foot of Yue Ling Mountain. He was running along a winding and steep path further into the mountain.

In addition to the main entrance of the main gate and the west gate of the two scenic spots, Yue Ling Mountain had excavated trails along the mountain in several directions. The trail that Wei Fuyuan was now walking was the trail that villagers found the most convenient to enter the mountain.

The mountain was not high and was regarded as a fairly developed picturesque location, but many tourists still got lost in the mountains every year because they strayed from the main route. It could be observed that the remark about the mountain route being difficult to travel was not untrue.

Compared to the previous time, it was apparent that the black shadow’s movement tonight was much slower.

Wei Fuyuan noticed that it used a human posture when running, but it ran with one foot deep and one-foot shallow as if it’s right leg was injured.

It was also thanks to the dark shadow’s slow movement that he didn’t need to run fast, otherwise, Wei Fuyuan would never have been able to keep up with such a dark and difficult mountain road.

But, as Young Master Wei chased behind the black shadow, the more he ran, the more hopeless he felt.

He had long realized that Jiang Nan’an did not follow behind.

Jiang Nan’an seemed to have been delayed or lost for whatever reason, and Wei Fuyuan was now facing a dilemma.

What he was worried about now was that he did not know where the thing in front of him was going and whether he could deal with it by himself. If he failed to fight and wanted to escape, could he find the right path among these twists and turns and numerous trails?

It didn’t help that the black shadow just kept running further into the mountain and seemed to have no intention of stopping to fight with him.

After some time, Wei Fuyuan saw a building with red walls and green tiles. From the shape, it seemed to be a small temple located in the mountains.

The black shadow ran straight towards the small temple and disappeared inside in a flash.

Wei Fuyuan stopped at the foot of the temple.

A moment of hesitation flashed in his heart, whether or not he should pursue it inside to investigate. At the same time, he found himself thinking back to the old saying he once heard when listening to the Pingshu: never enter a temple alone.

It’s just that this temple was different from the story book that described a ruined, desolate and remote place as the hiding place for criminals. Although this small temple was not big, the walls were neatly painted, a green brick was paving in front of the door and not even a single weed could be found. At first glance, it seemed like this place was carefully taken care of.

Wei Fuyuan glanced around with his Eyes of Heaven, but did not see any suspicious evil spirits, so he made up his mind and secretly climbed over the wall with the help of a small boxwood beside the courtyard wall.

There were only two entrances to the small temple.

The main hall was not dedicated to Buddha or Bodhisattva, but to a statue of a young woman.

Wei Fuyuan realized that this should be the “Heavenly Lady Yue-gu” who can grant people’s marriage wishes as mentioned by the taxi driver.

Under normal circumstances, Wei Fuyuan would have been interested in reading the inscription in the courtyard and learn about the life of this “Heavenly Lady Yue-gu”. However, now Wei Fuyuan was only interested in finding the shadow, so he only made a quick turn in the main hall. After finding no abnormality, he went to the backyard.

In the centre of the backyard, there was a big banyan tree with thick branches and leaves. It was very luxuriant and covered almost half of the yard.

The branches of the tree were covered with small locks of various colors, red silk, red threads, worthless necklaces and bracelets, and other things. It seemed that young people came here to seek marriage.

Wei Fuyuan made a half-circle around the banyan tree, spotting a little Buddhist shrine in the courtyard’s northeast corner.

In comparison to the main hall devoted to the golden body of the Heavenly Lady Yue-gu, this modest Buddha Hall was nearly entirely surrounded by the shadow of the trees, the position was highly unobtrusive, but it also seemed much older, indicating that no one had cared for it for a long time.

Wei Fuyuan gingerly walked to the front of the Buddha Hall, raised his hand, and pushed the door.

With a muffled “squeak”, the lacquered mahogany door opened in response.

It was pitch black behind the door.

Wei Fuyuan took out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and shone a light inside.

The interior of the Buddha Hall was very small, and one can see the end at a glance.

Inside, there was a long offering table, and on top of it, there was a merit box. There were two electronic incense sticks on the left and right sides, but it was obviously not plugged in, and there were some gifts of fake vegetables, fruits, and flowers.

There was also a futon in front of the offering table, which could accommodate one person to kneel and worship.

Behind the table there were two statues of a boy about ten years old on the left and a girl of the same age on the right.

Wei Fuyuan’s torch light stopped at the two statues.

These two statues, whether it was the boy or the girl, although they were the size of human children, their faces had the obvious features of beasts.

The boy’s face was fat and bulging, the bridge of the nose was flat and broad, and the nostrils were upturned, looking like a simple bear; while the girl had an exaggerated face the shape of melon seeds, with a slightly upturned chin and a small and pointed nose, like a sly Lynx.

Wei Fuyuan crossed the threshold and entered the Buddhist hall.

He smelled a damp smell peculiar to the aged wood.

Wei Fuyuan walked slowly to the statue of the girl, raised his mobile phone, and took a clear picture of it.

It was reasonable to say that these two statues were a pair, not only in the fabrication technique and the coloring style but the creation time should’ve also been the same.

But Wei Fuyuan clearly saw that the girl’s statue was obviously much older than the boy’s statue next to her because not only was the surface glaze yellowing and flaking, but the back also had a coin-sized hole, and the right leg was covered with spider web cracks.

——This is it!

Wei Fuyuan’s eyes narrowed.

——The shadow I saw first must be this statue!

The hole on the girl’s back was made by Jiang Nan’an with the Great Five Emperor Coin, and the crack on the right foot should be also the result of the first attack thrown by Comrade Jiang.

Wei Fuyuan immediately stopped delaying, looked left and right, picked up an unplugged electric incense from the offering table, turned it over,? and pointed it straight at the girl’s statue with the base. At the same time, his hands overflowed with golden light.

That was the power of his merit.

These days, Wei Fuyuan had more or less made progress in mastering the method of manipulating the power of merit and virtue. Although he was not skilled enough yet, he was still able to do much more than before.

The little golden light moved according to his thoughts and gradually enveloped the weapon in Wei Fuyuan’s hand.

Suddenly the mediocre electronic incense became the golden light of the demon subduing hammer, which looked very powerful.

“Fuck!!!”

Wei Fuyuan shouted loudly and was about to smash the girl statue.

This statue was made of crude pottery fired with red clay embryos and then coated with a layer of glaze. The clay embryos were fragile and weren’t resistant to falls or impacts.

If the copper coin with Yang energy could create a hole, then with a single smash from the “hammer” wrapped by the power of the merit, 80% of it would be torn apart on the spot.

At this time, Wei Fuyuan no longer cared about whether the movement of smashing the statue would attract the night watchman or not.

——Let’s get rid of this harmful thing first!

However, just when Wei Fuyuan raised the electronic incense high, a black mist suddenly rose from the statue and in the next second, a shadowy figure appeared in front of him.

“Sure enough, you are hiding here!”

Wei Fuyuan took a step back, looked at the girl statue protected by the black shadow, and sneered, “This is your original body, right?”

The black shadow obviously shrank for a moment.

But it did not avoid, but suddenly bent its feet, and went straight to a proper kneeling position.

Although Wei Fuyuan’s Eyes of Heaven could see, it was just a black shadow of a human shape with distinguishable head, neck, torso, and limbs. But one could not see its facial features, let alone distinguish if it was male or female. The other party’s posture, which was so low that it could not be lowered any further, was in a kneeling and kowtow position.

“What do you mean?”

Wei Fuyuan frowned, “You want me to spare you?”

The black shadow kowtowed three more times.

If it were not for the lack of a physical body of this Yin Qi, the magnitude of this kowtowing could definitely have smashed in the green stone tiles with a “bang bang bang” sound.

Wei Fuyuan was furious.

“You have been pestering Su Lan for a whole month, trying to kill her countless times, how dare you beg for mercy?!”

The black shadow did not dare to raise its head, the whole “person” on the ground was desperately shaking its head.

Wei Fuyuan: “……”

——This reaction is not quite right ah!

As a matter of fact, the black shadow was as black as thick ink, with heavy Yin Qi visible to the naked eye, and the surrounding body was also fuzzy with purple Qi. Even though he hadn’t reached Bei Quan’s level of combat strength, the black shadow shouldn’t be easily frightened by such a layman who had nothing but the power of merit, and the shadowy figure didn’t even dare to struggle.

——No, no ……

Wei Fuyuan’s eyebrows hastily knitted up.

Not only this time but also last night.

Last night, they found the shadow and drove it from the room to the back mountain. On the way, Jiang Nan’an even threw two coins, breaking two holes in its real body.

But even so, it just ran for its life, not once trying to fight back.

——This is very wrong.

The more Wei Fuyuan thought about it, the more he felt as if he had overlooked a very important detail.

——Oh, that’s right ……

He thought of another point.

Last night, when he entered the master bedroom, he saw the black shadow crouching on the bedside table near Su Lan’s side– at that time, the other party was curled up into a ball and just looked down at the girl.

If it really had murderous intentions, would it really just have squat down and watched? It was long enough to kill people a hundred and eighty times ah!

“You ……”

Wei Fuyuan tentatively asked.

“Does that mean that you have not thought of hurting Su lan?”

The black shadow slightly raised his head, then as if afraid of annoying Wei Fuyuan again, buried its head between its arms, and frantically nodded.

“Then why do you follow others? You’ll scare people to death. Don’t you know?”

The more Wei Fuyuan said, the angrier he got.

“Besides, Su Lan has had so many accidents in the past month that she nearly died several times. It’s impossible that it’s really just an accident!? what else have you done?”

The shadow heard this and raised his head again.

It seemed to want to speak, but it could not speak. It was so anxious that it didn’t know what to do. It just scratched its ears and scratched its cheeks.

After struggling for a long time, the black shadow maintained its kneeling posture and carefully extended a hand towards Wei Fuyuan.

In Wei Fuyuan’s view, it was not so much a hand as it was billowing black air, which looked like the Yin Qi of the ghosts he had met before.

Wei Fuyuan stepped back warily, “What do you want to do?”

The black shadow crouched even lower, but still stubbornly stretched out its arms.

Wei Fuyuan thought about it and finally guessed the other party’s meaning, “You want me to …… touch your hand?”
