Sure enough, less than ten minutes later, a man dressed as a woodcutter actually came walking over there.
Qin Wu quickly stepped forward to greet him, saying, "Brother, please wait a moment!"
The woodcutter put down his load and looked at Qin Wu with a puzzled expression: "You're not from around here, are you? I've never seen you before. What do you need me for?"
Qin (the King of Zhao) Wu nodded: "That's right, brother. I'm not a local. I stopped you because I wanted to ask for directions."
The woodcutter suddenly realized: "Look in that direction, just like I'm pointing. The path out of the mountains is not far away..."
Qin Wu quickly interrupted the woodcutter: "Wait, wait, brother, I'm not going down the mountain!"
Woodcutter: "If you're not going down the mountain, then what are you going to do?"
Qin Wu: "I want to go to the City God Temple!"
Chapter 568: City God Temple (2)
Upon hearing that Qin Wu was going to the City God Temple, the woodcutter's face immediately fell, his expression one of utter disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.
"I have no idea what you were doing there!"
After saying that, he was about to leave when Qin Wu quickly stopped him. Judging from the woodcutter's appearance, it was impossible for him not to know the location of the City God Temple. Moreover, it sounded like there were some other stories behind the City God Temple.
Qin Wu: "Big brother, don't go! Don't go!"
The woodcutter tried his best to shake off Qin Wu's arm, only to find that the boy was surprisingly strong. His 760-year-old hands, used for chopping wood, were no match for such a fair-skinned young man!
Helpless, the woodcutter could only say:
"It's not that I didn't want to show you the way, I'm doing this for your own good. This City God Temple isn't clean!"
Qin Wu was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood. This must be the trick that the peach spirit and willow monster usually used to prevent these mortals from disturbing his cultivation.
They pretended that the temple was haunted, so that the common people wouldn't dare to go in and disturb their cultivation.
This is just as good, as it makes things easier for Qin Wu to get things done.
Thinking of this, Qin Wu quickly said to the woodcutter, "That's right, I came here today to subdue demons and monsters!"
The woodcutter looked Qin Wu up and down incredulously: "You?"
Qin Wu nodded: "That's right, it's me!"
The woodcutter said, "Judging from your appearance, you must have just finished your training and come down from the mountain, right? Let me tell you, the demons in this City God Temple are highly skilled and beyond your ability to deal with. You should go back to the mountain and find your master!"
Qin Wu thought to himself, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just answer my question!"
As soon as he thought about it, he unconsciously increased the force in his hands by three points, and his face also showed displeasure.
Good heavens! The woodcutter gasped in pain and quickly said, "Go about a hundred steps forward, then turn left and go straight. Walk a little further and you'll see the City God Temple!"
Qin Wu then released his grip: "Thank you, brother!"
The woodcutter completely ignored him, picked up the firewood from the ground, turned around and left, muttering, "Another one who's just asking for trouble!"
Qin Wu was left speechless, but he could tell from this statement that this was probably not the first time someone had come to the City God Temple.
And it seems this peach spirit is quite powerful, and even proficient in illusion magic! It seems I really need to be careful!
After watching the woodcutter leave, Qin Wu began his journey to the City God Temple.
Qin Wu chose to ask someone for directions instead of flying directly to his destination to avoid alerting the enemy.
Not long after, Qin Wu found the City God Temple by following the route given by the woodcutter. When he arrived at the temple, Qin Wu exclaimed, "My God, this doesn't look like a temple at all!"
The stone lions in front of the temple were fallen, the gate was dilapidated, and the windows were covered with cobwebs. If he didn't know it was a City God Temple, Qin Wu would have believed it was a haunted house!
This perfectly good City God Temple has been ruined by these two monsters.
Qin Wu peered through the broken window and, sure enough, saw two clay statues inside: one with wide-open eyes, and the other with large ears!
Chapter 569 Illusion (3)
It turns out I hadn't made a mistake; this was indeed the City God Temple that Gao Ming and Gao Jue had come to possess!
Are those two clay statues still sitting there safely?
Of all the statues in the temple, only these two are still clean and intact. The rest, including the statue of the judge in the middle, are completely dilapidated!
It seems these two fairies cherish the source of their two supernatural powers, otherwise only these two statues would be intact.
But now another problem arises: now that the two statues have been found, where is the true nature of this great enlightenment?
If I can't find the original body, what's the use of finding these two statues? I can't just destroy these two statues and ruin the brothers' supernatural powers, can I?
This way, the two people were subdued, but what I wanted were not two useless individuals! The key issue is that these two are tree spirits, and their roots have spread for dozens of miles around. Searching for them bit by bit would be a real hassle.
Qin Wu gritted his teeth and decided to stop thinking about it and just go in. Judging from the way these two guys usually acted, he might just lure them out.
Thinking of this, Qin Wu no longer hesitated and strode straight inside.
Qin Wu had barely stepped across the threshold, before he could even move his other foot, when he heard a whooshing sound behind him.
A howling, chilling wind rushed straight to Qin Wu's back, and Qin Wu's forehead was immediately covered in a layer of white sweat.
But when Qin Wu reached down and touched his back, he immediately discovered that although his back felt cold, it wasn't cold at all when he touched it!
It seems I was right after all; these two demons are indeed highly skilled in illusion magic!
With this, Qin Wu had nothing to worry about. Their mastery of illusion techniques proved that their overall strength was not actually that great; otherwise, they wouldn't have put so much effort into cultivating these techniques.
Even if you master illusion magic to its highest level, if someone sees through it even once, all your subsequent preparations will be in vain.
Now Qin Wu was completely confident and stepped into the City God Temple without hesitation. As soon as he stepped in, the eerie wind outside suddenly stopped.
·· ··Requesting flowers·· ··
Before Qin Wu could even feel happy, the mountain gate behind him slammed shut with a "bang," and the statues in front of him immediately began to move.
Each of them had a sinister smile on their face and made strange, grating laughs.
Qin Wu chuckled bitterly. It seemed that his previous guess was indeed correct; these two brothers were actually running a haunted house!
....... ...... 0
It's always the same few things, no matter how you turn them over or adjust them. If you don't make a fortune with this material, then you're really unlucky.
Qin Wu didn't have time to try out all their services; he had important business to attend to!
At level two, Qin Wu reached out and grabbed at the air, and a ball of silvery-white lightning appeared in his hand. He then threw it at the statues in front of him. Suddenly, two voices rang out from inside the room:
"Immortal, spare me! Immortal, spare me!"
Qin Wu's lips curled up slightly, thinking to himself, "You little punks, if you don't understand, all these years I've been wasting my life!"
Qin Wu: "Gao Ming, Gao Jue, you two, show yourselves and answer!" (Knife)
Chapter 570 Unexpected Changes (4)
As soon as he finished speaking, two plumes of white smoke suddenly burst out in front of Qin Wu's eyes with a "bang," instantly enveloping the entire City God Temple in white smoke.
Qin Wu opened his mouth and blew gently, and a whirlwind of blue air was blown out.
This cyan whirlwind, like the spherical silver-white lightning bolt from before, is a derivative skill that appeared after Qin Wu cultivated the Wind and Thunder Wings. Qin Wu is now finding these "760" Wind and Thunder Wings increasingly amazing.
As soon as the blue whirlwind appeared, all the white smoke inside the City God Temple dissipated, and two kneeling "people" appeared in front of Qin Wu!
One of the two men has gleaming eyes and is clearly the all-seeing Gao Jue; the other has long, pointed ears and must be the all-hearing Gao Jue.
The two brothers knelt on the ground, trembling. The white mist they had just encountered was their last resort to save their lives; it contained a deadly poison.
They had originally planned to take advantage of the poisonous fog to launch one last sneak attack on Qin Wu, but they didn't expect Qin Wu to be so monstrous. Before the two of them could even make a move, he had already broken through their poisonous fog in one go.
Most importantly, this guy called out the two brothers' names as soon as he came in, which clearly means he's here to cause trouble!
Qin Wu had no idea that his unintentional action would leave such a deep "impression" on the two brothers!
He went straight to the point and asked, "Are you two Gao Ming and Gao Jue?"
The two brothers immediately exchanged a glance, their eyes seemingly saying, "See? I told you so, they're just here to cause trouble!"
Gao Ming quickly replied, "That's right, my brother and I are indeed Gao Ming and Gao Jue! However, even though you are immortals, there is still one thing we don't understand!"
Qin Wu: "Go ahead and speak!"
Gao Ming: "My brother and I have been cultivating here, and we have never harmed anyone or done anything immoral. Even if someone disturbs our cultivation, we only use magic to scare them away and have never hurt a hair on their head. I don't know why the immortal has come to our mountain gate today. What is the reason for this?"
This question really stumped Qin Wu. Yes, why did he come here?
No matter what it is, there has to be a legitimate reason! You can't just arrest someone without any intention of stealing or harming the village, and expect them to work for you, can you?
Even if we manage to subdue these two guys by force, they might stab us in the back later. Then we'd be left with no recourse but to suffer in silence...
But what reason should I come up with... Ah, I've got it!
Qin Wu's eyes darted around, and he quickly put on a very serious expression: "Don't you two brothers know why I'm here?"
Gao Ming and Gao Jue were instantly bewildered, shaking their heads together and saying, "We brothers are inherently stupid, please enlighten us, Immortal!"
Qin Wu deliberately feigned utter disappointment: "Sigh, I was thinking of giving you two a chance to cultivate, since it's not easy for you two, but now that I see it, I'll pass. I'll find someone else!"
Qin Wu made a move to leave, but Gao Ming and Gao Jun quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Immortal, please wait! Immortal, please stay!"
