Chapter 321: Three Immortals Temple Keeper

After being grabbed by Wu Xian.

This paper person wanted to pull his hand back, but could not break free for a moment, so he tried to pinch Wu Xian's face, forcing Wu Xian to let go.

But he underestimated the thickness of Wu Xian's skin.

This face had a natural thick-skin buff; it wasn't something that could be broken through with just a casual pinch.

Just as Wu Xian had said to Su Xuan before going down the well.

Regardless of what this malevolent entity's motive was, his strength was definitely very limited.

Having already discovered the three of them, he only tried to keep Wei Qinglan behind, and was even countered by a single Repel Evil and Break Malevolence.

But not being strong didn't mean there were no hidden dangers.

This thing's ability was very strange; it could interfere with perception to a certain extent, and even if Wu Xian encountered it without knowing, he would very likely be caught off guard.

So after they came down, the most important thing was to eliminate this hidden danger first! So.

What was this malevolent entity's greatest weakness?

It was insufficient attack power!

If it had sufficient lethality, then Wei Qinglan, who had already been entangled, would definitely have had no chance of survival.

Therefore, to eliminate this malevolent entity.

Only one opportunity was needed, an opportunity to confirm exactly where he was! Boom! After hearing Wu Xian's voice.

Wei Hengbo took out the Bagua mirror and fiercely slammed it toward the ground!

At the same time.

Wen Chao blocked in front of Jiang Chun to prevent her from being harmed by the paper person.

Translucent golden light spread out, and the impact force caused the ten people present to retreat a few steps; everyone's body shook, as if they had suddenly been slapped in the face.

But the damage the malevolent entity received was greater!

More than twenty paper people appeared around them instantly; these paper people crowded around the group, each of them floating far away, and a few that were severely damaged even caught fire directly.

Those that didn't catch fire were mostly floundering on the ground, with only a few still having the ability to stand up.

Wu Xian took a rough look.

And started to laugh.

The remaining paper people mostly had traces of being soaked in water on their bodies, which meant these paper people were not new, but were being reused...

Wei Hengbo drew his blade and grinned: "Just cutting all these paper people down will do, right!"

Seeming to sense the murderous aura on him.

These paper people started to flee in panic in all directions; some crawled, some walked, and besides their strange movements, there was a hint of absurdity and ridiculousness.

The group was just about to cut weeds and eliminate the roots when they suddenly heard Wen Chao roar.

"Wait!"

Hearing his voice, the group stopped their movements.

They saw Jiang Chun follow Wen Chao to the side, affectionately bringing her mouth close to Wen Chao's ear.

"What did you smell?"

Jiang Chun opened her mouth and said to Wen Chao with great difficulty.

"Human, urine... fear!"

Wen Chao smiled slightly.

"Then, go find him!"

After Jiang Chun heard this, she rushed toward one direction.

There were several intricate small paths in that direction, but she entered the middle one without the slightest hesitation.

Usually she walked slowly, and the group couldn't tell, but now that she suddenly started running without warning, one could see that her movements were simply inhumanly uncoordinated; the movements were more like race walking than running, and those knees didn't seem to bend much...

Additionally.

At the same time Jiang Chun started moving, those paper people fleeing everywhere also stopped their movements, maintaining their fleeing posture without moving.

It didn't take long.

A shrill male scream came from over there.

Wu Xian suddenly realized.

"So that's it, these paper people aren't controlled by a malevolent entity, but are controlled by a person!"

He had also had Su Xuan's doubts before.

But at that time, he only thought that what attacked Wei Qinglan was a malevolent entity with a relatively strong sense of self-awareness, but if the mastermind was a living person, everything was very reasonable. Malevolent entities doing evil things mostly follow logic, but people do not follow logic, and any outrageous thing could be done.

Throughout the entire battle process.

The monster in the pool water didn't have any unusual movements, just spitting out coffins as usual.

From its hourglass-like body shape, one could tell that this thing was less of a malevolent entity and more of a deformed flesh-and-blood alchemy furnace.

After waiting for a little while longer.

Jiang Chun walked out of the small path, dragging a foot; the owner of the foot screamed strangely the whole way, his body and face dragging on the ground, with some parts even having the flesh worn away.

This person being dragged was an ugly-looking bald male, with many sores on his body, some even looking like corpse spots; he was wearing a black-gold robe that didn't fit well, dragging a gorgeous top hat with one hand, and holding a red brush in the other...

On the path where he was dragged, there were obvious wet traces; clearly, this man had already been scared into peeing himself.

After Jiang Chun stopped.

The man immediately waved the brush like a madman.

"Protect me, hurry up and come protect me!"

The surrounding paper people all moved instantly, but before the paper people could get close, Wu Xian smashed the man's fingers with a stick, the brush also fell to the ground, and the paper people all stopped their movements again.

Wu Xian picked up the brush.

He tried to wave it like the man, but those paper people had no reaction.

He opened the degree certificate, and the information about this brush was already displayed on it.

"The paper-crafting trade has taboos; one must not dot the eyes for paper people. If one dots the eyes for paper people, it will attract lonely ghosts and wild spirits to steal in..."

"This brush is the Concealment Eye-Dotting Brush, an item bestowed upon the temple keeper by the 'Paper Immortal'. The temple keeper holds this brush to dot the eyes for paper people, which can create paper people that can hide their tracks, and all paper people are controlled by this brush."

"Long-term use will cause yin poison to enter the body, reducing fortune and lifespan..."

After Wu Xian finished reading.

He spun the brush a few times on his fingertips.

This man was not ordinary; he was a very important tongue, and this brush only had an effect in the man's hands, so it was not easy to kill him for the time being.

Let's dig some information out of his mouth first.

Wu Xian squatted down and asked the man kindly: "Are you the temple keeper?"

The man raised his head cautiously, his expression humble and lecherous: "If I answer, can you spare my life?"

Wu Xian smiled.

Then he punched out two of his teeth and pinched his chin, forcing his mouth to open.

"Who among you has a gu insect? Feed him one."

Jian Lingyu smiled happily, grabbed a dark red centipede from her cloth bag, and stuffed it directly into the man's mouth.

"This is a centipede gu; as long as I whistle, it will bite your internal organs to pieces..."

Seeing Jian Lingyu's bright red lips pouting.

The man immediately became obedient, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing non-stop, while kowtowing, he spilled everything he knew like beans from a bamboo tube.

"My humble name is Zhu Dachang, I am the temple keeper of this Three Immortals Temple, responsible for sending longevity peaches to the Three Immortals masters every day."

Wu Xian raised an eyebrow.

As expected, it really was related to these Three Immortals.

Zhu Dachang was once a famous rascal in the Undying City.

Bullying the market during the day, lingering in brothels and wine alleys at night, he didn't know how many scoundrel things he had done, and he had also provoked quite a few enemies.

When people do bad things, they like to pray to gods and Buddhas.

Since the world lost funerals, only the Three Immortals were responsive in the world, so Zhu Dachang would often offer a stick of incense to the 'Paper Immortal', praying that he would not be found by enemies.

After that, life indeed became much more stable.

Until one day ten years ago.

He was hugging a brothel prostitute and dozing off, when suddenly the soft touch became rough like paper; touching it carefully, one could find even rougher straw under the paper.

Zhu Dachang woke up instantly, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that what he was holding in his arms was actually a paper person with a white face and red lips!

That paper person opened its mouth strangely.

"I have blessed you, I have blessed you, it is time for you to repay me!"
