Chapter 198: Ancestral Hall False Deity

After discovering Qin Fuer's name, Wu Xian immediately realized that there might also be similar secret doors in front of the graves of the other four people.

So he immediately searched with Shi Ji and Sun Qian.

Finally, he found the graves of Qin Baolu, Chu Changshou, Chu Axi, and Qin Dafu.

As expected.

In front of these four graves, there were also the same secret doors.

But even if they found the secret doors, they still had no way to open them.

Without disturbing the underground spirits, the three made various attempts on these five doors.

Finally, there was some discovery.

As long as two people pulled different doors at the same time, these two doors could be slightly lifted to a gap; if three people pulled the doors together, the gap would be larger.

Therefore, Wu Xian judged that these five doors needed five people to pull upward at the same time to open.

But now they only had three people, so they could only temporarily give up the benefits here and wait until they called two more people over to open the doors.

Additionally, while searching the graves, Sun Qian also found a small path; the three walked along the small path for another distance and found the ruins of a dilapidated village.

Here weeds were overgrown, and there were broken walls and ruins everywhere; houses and trees were occupied by wild grass, but the layout of the village was exactly the same as what they saw in the ghost realm before.

Wu Xian followed his memory.

Full of anticipation, he found the ancestral hall of the village.

Just like what he saw in the ghost realm, there were no ancestors worshipped in the ancestral hall, but instead, a red-robed Eighteen Hells King Yama statue was worshipped.

Shi Ji looked at the deity statue and let out a light sound.

"At noon, Yan Ting said that a red-robed deity gave him a dream last night; could it be this one?"

"It should be."

Wu Xian nodded.

Before seeing the King Yama statue, Wu Xian had always felt that Yan Ting's words were all nonsense.

But the existence of this deity statue confirmed Yan Ting's statement.

If so.

Wu Xian's judgment of Yan Ting had to be re-evaluated.

He now had ninety centimeters of residual incense in his hand, enough for three deity worships, so he didn't hesitate much and counted out thirty centimeters of residual incense, lit it, and respectfully inserted it into the incense burner in front of the deity statue.

Among the supplies Yan Ting brought to the island, there was a lighter, so Wu Xian could easily light the residual incense.

Wu Xian stared at the incense burner, looking forward to the reward this strange deity statue would give him.

But not long after the residual incense was inserted, it suddenly went out.

Wu Xian's expression changed slightly.

"Is this damp?"

He lit the incense again, and the incense still went out as soon as it was inserted.

"It seems it is indeed damp; let's worship when we find good incense."

Wu Xian pulled out the residual incense casually, and a playing card fell out of his sleeve inadvertently; the playing card fell right in front of the deity statue, and then he led Shi Ji and Sun Qian to slowly and respectfully exit the ancestral hall.

When the figures of the three of Wu Xian could no longer be seen in the ancestral hall.

The big red-robed King Yama statue suddenly turned its head.

The clay eye sockets looked at the direction the three left, and the eyes flashed with captivating evil.

After retreating a distance as if nothing had happened.

Wu Xian suddenly stopped, his breathing slightly rapid, and sweat droplets appeared on his forehead.

Shi Ji was somewhat confused.

"Brother Xian, what is this..."

Wu Xian straightened his waist, and a faint light flickered in his eyes.

"The incense is not damp; deity worship for the Lotus Juanren is a ritual with a true deity; the residual incense going out as soon as it is inserted shows that the deity statue cannot bear my incense..."

"It is a false deity!"

Hearing the word false deity, Sun Qian didn't feel anything yet.

But Shi Ji was instantly horrified.

If that deity statue is not a deity.

It is a ghost!

Having stayed in the Fudi for a long time, one naturally knows how transcendent the position of 'immortals and deities' is in the Fudi; those malevolent entities all keep away from deity statues.

How terrifying would a ghost that dares to disguise itself as a deity be? Shi Ji didn't even dare to think.

Wu Xian licked his lips.

"I was wondering before, ancestral halls are all for worshipping ancestors, but the ancestral hall of Luo Wang Village is worshipping a deity..."

"Thinking about it now, maybe the deity they worship is their ancestor!"

"Luo Wang Village... Luo Wang... Yan family..."

"King Yama, Yan King Yama!"

Wu Xian figured out some things again.

Integrating the information obtained before, he pieced together a story in his mind.

Luo Wang Village had worshipped Luo Wang for generations, expecting Luo Wang to be reborn and bring them great wealth and prosperity.

Their wishes became stronger and stronger, and finally, they worshipped Luo Wang as a deity; with the rise of the Yan family, slowly Luo Wang added a prefix of 'Yan', and over time it became this Eighteen Hells King Yama.

But their worship didn't really create a deity.

That so-called red-robed deity was actually a big ghost residing in the deity statue; the plague that caused the whole village to die miserably, the massacre ten years ago, might all be related to this deity statue.

In this way, Yan Ting being dreamed of by the red-robed deity could also be explained.

The island had worshipped 'King Yama' for generations, so it was normal for this King Yama to have a connection with Yan Ting.

This red-robed deity statue was very likely the final boss of this Fudi, so Wu Xian didn't intend to get involved with it right now.

Thinking of this.

Wu Xian suddenly felt a bit happy.

Previous Fudi were usually already fallen, slaughtered by malevolent entities, and Lotus Juanren could only struggle to survive but couldn't reverse the general trend.

But this world is different.

The source of the disaster had just appeared, right on this Luo Wang Island, right on that altar!

If they could behead the red-robed deity, maybe they could save the disaster fate of this world!

Additionally, there is one more interesting point.

The requirement to leave the Fudi is for the Lotus Juanren to film ten types of ghosts.

But the dream of the red-robed deity also let them film ten types of ghosts.

From previous experience, the task requirements of the Lotus Juanren degree certificate do not stand on the side of destroying the world.

But this time, both the degree certificate and the red-robed big ghost wanted the Lotus Juanren to film ten types of ghosts; exploring the reason why the red-robed deity wanted to complete the filming might be a very important part of this Fudi.

The scattered thoughts gradually returned.

Seeing the sun already slanting west, Wu Xian and the others didn't waste time and started to search separately in the village ruins; searching together was safe, but how to distribute became a problem.

In this village, there should be hidden deity statues.

The wild-growing weeds made it difficult for Wu Xian and the others to move, and searching was very difficult, but because it had already fallen, they didn't need to consider picking locks; they only needed to approach the houses and could see if there were hidden deity statues in the rooms from the broken walls and unobstructed windows.

Soon Wu Xian had a discovery.

In a corner of a house that had already collapsed halfway, he found a very familiar deity statue.

Water Official - Xuanming Great Lord Deity Statue!

The reward obtained by worshipping is a magic tool!

Wu Xian showed a smile; this is a genuine deity, the residual incense shouldn't go out anymore.

He inserted the residual incense, and the misty water vapor emerging from the incense fire formed the appearance of three magic tools.

Among these three magic tools, there was one Wu Xian had seen, which was the Su'e Veil worn by Liang Fang in the previous Fudi.

This magic tool was directly abandoned by Wu Xian; although the function was very strong, Wu Xian couldn't accept the look of himself wearing a veil...

As for the remaining two.

They were the Evil-Gathering Mirror and the Gongcao Jade Tablet!
