It was clear that even the Shing Wong’s Border Patroller did not directly touch the black fog. He could not help but move his attention to the black fog that surged towards him. When the Yin soldiers from afar had finally made it, the black church had already escaped quite a long distance.
The black church’s escape made the border patroller’s face even more pitch-black. He looked at the place Wei Xiao Bei was hidden, but he did not say anything and only let out a cold snort. His body turned into a golden light and left while the Yin soldiers followed behind.
All this did not even take two minutes to happen as Wei Xiao Bei’s surroundings quieted down.
When the Yin soldiers left, he immediately charged out from the hole and ran towards Huang Kun and Zhu Xin Yi. He had a bit of apprehension in his heart.
My own disciples should not be that stupid right?
They should know that they had to hide when they saw this huge army coming right?
However, before Wei Xiao Bei could run far, he could see the monsters that Zhu Xin Yi had tamed sneakily coming over. This had immediately caused him to relax.
It was considered stealthy because there were two people hidden among the monsters, Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun
The two of them lied down on the back of a Licker and even thought that no one would see them.
Seeing that the saplings and the dogs had decreased in number, Wei Xiao Bei knew that his disciples had suffered a bit.
Wei Xiao Bei’s reappearance had made his disciples let out a sigh of relief. It was clear that they were worried about Wei Xiao Bei’s safety.
Wei Xiao Bei did not say anything when the two sides converged. After all, the place was not a good place to talk. Moreover, the black church could return at any time.
It was very clear that the black church and the Shing Wong Temple had already fought for quite a while. Moreover, the black church’s fighting methods were very evil. It was very difficult to make it so that it would not return any more.
Wei Xiao Bei brought Huang Kun and Zhu Xin Yi to take a detour, moving towards the river.
The Lickers and the Gargoyles had become their porters as they carried the slow saplings while following behind Wei Xiao Bei.
After trekking for a few kilometers, a small river appeared in Wei Xiao Bei’s field of view.
Wei Xiao Bei had been here before. As long as they did not approach the river, it was safe.
Now that they made it here, Wei Xiao Bei asked them what the two had experienced.
It seemed that his disciples were not too dumb. When they had seen that the number of Gargoyles flying in the sky had decreased, they knew that a problem had occurred so they left to track down Wei Xiao Bei.
However, when the black church had stopped creating Gargoyles and camouflaged itself, the Gargoyles in the battlefield appeared to have lost their connection to their origin, allowing the Yin soldiers to easily defeat them and causing them to escape in all directions.
Those Yin soldiers naturally chased after them. In the end, they had accidentally caught up with Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun.
Although the two sides were hidden allies, there was no time for the Yin soldiers to consider if they were allies or not. Once they noticed Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun, they went for the kill.
On the other hand, Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun were like newborn calves that did not know how to fear tigers. Seeing more than 10 Yin soldiers chasing after them, they strove to counterattack.
Additionally, Zhu Xin Yi’s fighting power had increased after gaining more than 10 Gargoyles. The Gargoyles attacked from the air while the Lickers attacked from the ground, and Huang Kun mixed within the formation, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Soon, the Yin soldiers that were chasing after them were annihilated.
Since things were like this, it should be the end.
However, it might seem that Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun’s luck were slightly worse. Soon, they were caught up by a golden light. It was clear that this was Shing Wong’s Border Patroller. When the border patroller waved his hands, a few of Zhu Xin Yi’s Gargoyles had emitted flames and were burnt to ashes.
Hearing their encounter with the border patroller, Wei Xiao Bei could not help but be startled.
That guy was simply too strong. Even if he fought with the border patroller himself, Wei Xiao Bei could only sigh in defeat. Other than when the border patroller left the area of the Shing Wong Temple, he did not dare fight the guy.
Since Wei Xiao Bei was like that, Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun would naturally be unable to gain an advantage over him.
However, the two of them were saved in the end.
According to Zhu Xin Yi, a woman wearing beautiful ancient clothing suddenly appeared and said that the encounter was brought by fate, asking the border patroller to let the both of them go.
Moreover, the border patroller that appeared to be extremely arrogant became extremely respectful when the woman appeared.
Woman?
When Wei Xiao Bei heard that it was a woman, he couldn’t help but subconsciously tremble.
This could not be helped as the fear of the strange existence from the rented room was too deeply rooted in him.
However, he calmed down in the next moment as he thought that it was impossible for this woman to be that same strange existence.
After thinking properly, it was impossible for the border patroller to not fight till his last breath when he encountered the strange existence, let alone listening to the other party’s command of letting his disciples go.
Could it be?
Wei Xiao Bei thought a bit and turned to the two and asked them where they went to play these few days.
Their answer was as he had expected. The two of them had gone to the Shing Wong Temple. Moreover, Zhu Xin Yi had personally entered and lit a big incense stick at the palace hall beside the Shing Wong Temple.
In Shing Wong Temples, there were the Shing Wongs: some solitary and some married.
The Shing Wong Temple in the Bai Ta County was one that had a wife.
According to legend, many years ago, the Shing Wong had performed a miracle and drove away a locust swarm. From then on, Bai Ta County Magistrate had ordered to build a new palace, creating a new place within the Shing Wong Temple. The one enshrined inside was the Shing Wong’s wife. From then on, the Shing Wong’s wife had been consecrated to become a true object of worship, enjoying the incense offering of the people.
In the past, the Shing Wong Temple was a nationally recognized temple! It was different from those Wong Tai Sin that worshipped a fox to perform an inappropriate sacrifice.
Since it had received the protection of the government, there would be officials that would come forth and make offerings every year, begging for favorable weather and the prosperity of the country.
Inappropriate sacrifice was different. It was said these sacrifices were done by men and women possessed by demons and built a small temple. It did not receive the country’s approval and protection. Once one was spotted they would be immediately dismantled.
However, it was hard to obtain recognition from the country.
In every dynasty, the religion and gods that the country recognized would change.
Naturally, gods like the Jade Emperor, Fuxi, Nuwa, etc. were recognized by the country no matter what era.
What normally changed were the local gods.
Naturally, the Shing Wong would never change, but the problem was his wife. Normally, it was impossible for her to properly enjoy worship.
Thus, in the Bai Ta County, she had been able to receive offerings and enjoy being recognized as a deity that was on the same rank as the Shing Wong.
This was the answer to the question.
Without a doubt, it was not that Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun were lucky, but it was due to Zhu Xin Yi offering an incense to the Shing Wong’s wife. Only then, was she willing to save them.
Wei Xiao Bei smiled and remarked this, making Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun dumbfounded.
Previously, Wei Xiao Bei was worried that the two of them would bite off more than they can chew so he did not tell them. Now that he had said it, the shock in the two apprentices rose like a tide.
The fact that they were saved in the Dust World due to offering an incense had truly stunned them.
They felt that it was too close to fantasy.
In truth, whether it was Huang Kun or Zhu Xin Yi, they had treated the Dust World as a different world. Although the buildings were the same from the real world, they had looked at the Dust World as a completely separate existence to the real world.
Now, the sudden impact of knowing that the real world had an influence on the Dust World was not small.
The most important part here was the existence of gods.
When Zhu Xin Yi asked this question, Wei Xiao Bei could only scratch his head.
There was no doubt that gods existed in the Dust World.
However, the local god that existed in the Dust World appeared to be a trapped existence in Wei Xiao Bei’s viewpoint. It was not as divine and almighty as he expected.
Naturally, in their own territory, they were very powerful. For example, the 2-Star Elite Lai Long Gang Local God appeared to be old and fragile, but the first time Wei Xiao Bei encountered him, he was the one beaten into a tragic state.
Moreover, the local god was able to easily trap Zhang Xuan Shuo inside a censer, showing how powerful a local god was.
Towards his disciples” questions, Wei Xiao Bei could only say the things that he had understood. As for how much they could understand, it was up to them.
It took a long time for Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun to process everything that Wei Xiao Bei had told them.
There was no doubt that the two of them felt that they should be even more careful in the future from now on.
One of the things they should think about was how to treat gods. If they had carelessly insulted a god in the real world and encounter that god in the Dust World, then their end would probably be miserable.
Wei Xiao Bei could only bitterly smile at their conclusions.
It it was like that, Wei Xiao Bei was truly in a miserable state.
He had not offended gods in the real world, but in the Dust World.
One of them was the sun god of Carthage, and the other was the half-god, the Mutated Farmer’s Market.
For him, the Mutated Farmer’s Market was considered as a half god.
However, he was still living nicely.
