Quick Time Travel Plane Development 2.

Chapter 831 The world is a bit chaotic, and I am the devil (5)

Overwhelmed by fear, Hou Qing didn't scream. Lying on his back on the ground, he was terrified and incoherent, stammering, "Who! Who...who..." With each word, another gushe of blood gushed from his mouth, "...Who...who are you!"

The first thing he thought of when he realized he had been knocked away was that someone was hiding in the house and had suddenly jumped out to ambush him. But after he fell to the ground and could see almost the entire house but didn't see anyone except Danhua, he realized that he might have been knocked away by Danhua.

Being ambushed by an unknown person terrified him, but the fact that he was knocked away by the egg flower dart terrified him even more.

Could a five-year-old girl really send him flying with a single punch? Could it be...?

But then he saw Eggflower looking at him with her bright eyes on her still harmless face, and answering him, "I am Eggflower, a demon."

Before Hou Qing could figure anything out, the excruciating pain caused him to faint. Before he lost consciousness, he seemed to hear Dan Hua say, "Little Black, you can absorb his essence blood now."

Upon hearing that its master had permitted it to suck blood, Xiao Hei was overjoyed. Its dark body stretched wide and pounced on Hou Qing, completely covering him.

Hou Qing disappeared completely after being enveloped by the shadow.

Egg Flower could see that Hou Qing had been taken into the Demon Space by Xiao Hei.

Sucking blood essence is different from sucking vital energy; it requires putting the person into the demon space first.

However, the blood flowing from Hou Qing's mouth was not semen.

Xiao Hei's shadowy hand reached for Hou Qing's chest, entering Hou Qing's body without hindrance.

Egg Flower reminded Little Black again, "Don't drain all his essence and blood, he can't die yet."

If someone finds out that she's all alone in the local temple, she might have to be sent to an orphanage again.

"Yes, Master." Little Black reluctantly withdrew the shadowy hand from Hou Qing's body.

The departing figure held a nearly transparent red liquid in its hand; this was Hou Qing's essence blood.

The essence blood was instantly absorbed by the space in Xiao Hei's hand and disappeared.

The demon space, having absorbed the essence of blood, has unlocked a new function: it can extract memories related to the target's sin value.

The space belongs to her, and the memories extracted from it can be seen simultaneously in Danhua's mind.

She saw some of Hou Qing's memories.

Although the memories are fragmented, combined with what Danhua learned about Hou Fang in Xia Liang Village, it allows Danhua to understand what bad things Hou Qing had done.

It turns out that Hou Qing wasn't Hou Qing at all. He used to be called Hu Fangqiang, and he was a scoundrel like Wu Laizi from my grandmother's village. He did a lot of bad things with a group of people.

On one occasion, Hu Fangqiang and his gang severely injured a person. After the incident, Hu Fangqiang fled and was subsequently wanted by the police.

Hu Fangqiang went into hiding for ten years before finally arriving at the local temple.

There was an old temple keeper at the local temple who took in Hu Fangqiang, who claimed to have gotten lost in the mountains, and treated his injuries.

Besides the old temple keeper, Hou Qing, who arrived at the land temple around the same time as Hu Fangqiang, was also there.

Hou Qing was the old temple keeper's distant nephew, and the old temple keeper had found him to take over his position.

Hu Fangqiang had been hiding in the deep mountains and forests for many years and had long since given up on hiding. After learning that Hou Qing lived alone in another province and that no one here had ever seen Hou Qing, he had evil intentions.

He killed the old temple keeper and Hou Qing, and then used Hou Qing's identity.

Coincidentally, Hu Fangqiang and Hou Qing are close in age and even look somewhat alike.

The people of Xialiang Village already knew that the old temple keeper was going to hand over the care of the land temple to his distant nephew, so no one suspected Hou Qing.

Because there's no financial incentive involved, nobody wants to be the temple keeper of a dilapidated earth god temple deep in the mountains, since there's not much money to be made.

That's why the old temple keeper called his distant nephew to take over his job.

During the years Hu Fangqiang was on the run, he also harmed other people.

She was a homeless little girl who was captured by Hu Fangqiang, taken to the deep mountains, and raped and tortured to death.

Hu Fangqiang didn't commit any more crimes in the ten years he stayed at the Land God Temple, not because he had repented, but because he was afraid of living on the run.

Another incident occurred when Hu Fangqiang was killing the old temple keeper. The old temple keeper fought back fiercely and crippled Hu Fangqiang's leg, making it difficult for him to move.

Unsatisfied, Xiao Hei kicked Hou Qing out of the space.

If Hou Qing stays in this space any longer, he won't live much longer.

Seeing that Hou Qing still had a lot of life left, Danhua knew he wouldn't die, so she left him lying on the ground and went back to her room. The earth god temple was dilapidated, but the rooms in the back courtyard were not.

Hou Quan was very well-off, with all his daily necessities readily available, and it was clear that he frequently replaced the items he used.

Danhua tidied up the room again and found a new set of bedding to use.

Egg Flower's lips curled up, because she finally had her own real room where she could get a good night's sleep.

I had a good night's sleep that I hadn't had in a long time, and I slept for a full night. I didn't wake up until the afternoon. I felt comfortable inside and out.

Hearing the noise, she went over to check and found that Hou Qing had woken up and was crawling out. He had already crawled into the main hall of the local temple, and she didn't know how he had opened the wooden door leading to the main hall.

Upon seeing the egg flower, Hou Qing scurried into the corner in terror, muttering, "Get out of here... evil spirit, there's an evil spirit here, don't come looking for me..."

Egg Flower corrected him, "I'm not an evil spirit, I'm a demon."

"do not come……"

Hou Qing suddenly shouted loudly behind Danhua, "Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming..."

Danhua turned around and saw a person standing by the passageway on the side of the wall; it was Luo Laosi.

Luo Laosi was stunned on the spot.

Danhua reflected on her actions and realized that she had been too careless and hadn't checked the situation first, which led to Luo Laosi stumbling upon the scene.

But she wasn't afraid. She looked at Luo Laosi and asked, "What's the matter?"

Luo Laosi had come to his senses, his scalp tingling, but his mind was surprisingly clear and racing.

As expected, he and his daughter were right; the egg flowers were unusual.

He went to the hospital again today, and his daughter, Luo Lifang, told him that if it weren't for the egg flower, she might already be dead.

The daughter said that she only felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach at night, and she thought of what Danhua had said during the day, so she decided to go to the hospital to check on her to be on the safe side. Who knew that something would really happen to the child.

The doctor also said that the baby had died in utero, and if the baby had been brought in two hours later, the mother would have died too.

If Danhua wasn't just talking nonsense, then he must have figured something out.

Adding to the strange events that happened this morning, Shen Hongcai and Wu Xiutao aged ten years overnight.

Did the two suffer retribution for abusing the egg flower?
It's better to believe something is true than to believe it isn't.

The father and daughter were afraid of incurring Danhua's wrath, so Luo Laosi came over.

Looking at Hou Qing's miserable state, no one would believe it had nothing to do with the egg flower.

After considering countless options, Luo Laosi finally chose to ignore Hou Qing's presence, saying, "I'm here to thank you for saving my Lifang."

He handed Danhua a stack of money he had prepared beforehand, saying, "This is a small token of my appreciation."

Egg Flower accepted it without hesitation.

"Then I'm leaving." Luo Laosi pretended not to see Hou Qing's constant cries for help, and assured him, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Anyway, he and Hou Qing are not related, so let them resolve their own master-disciple issues.

After finishing his sentence, Luo Laosi left quickly.

Danhua grabbed Hou Qing by the back of his collar, lifted him up, and flung him back into the yard.

Hou Qing let out bursts of painful sobs.

Luo Laosi's guarantee seemed to be true; the local temple remained unchanged, with no one visiting for a long time.

……

“That’s right, it’s here. That earth god temple up there should be the master’s place of practice.” The top of an old temple appeared in Yu Hao’s binoculars.

The trees obscured the view, so only part of the roof's upturned eaves was visible, but Yu Hao was still certain that this was the place he was looking for.

"Still have to climb the mountain." Yu Hao wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve and cheered himself up. "Go for it! I'm just one step away from becoming your apprentice. I have to make sure I become your apprentice no matter what."

"What are we waiting for? We have to get up there before dark!" Yu Hao mustered his strength and started climbing the mountain.
