Under everyone's extremely shocked gazes, the old Taoist suddenly sighed deeply:
"Yes, all of this is my fault. If I hadn't adopted that snake and that wild ghost back then, things wouldn't have developed to what they are today."
A hundred years ago, there was still an ordinary town at the foot of Kaiyuan Temple.
Hundreds of townspeople live here.
Because it is backed by mountains and the roads are impassable, it was not affected by the war at that time.
The townspeople live and work in peace and contentment, relying on the mountains and mountains. Although they are not rich, they can still have enough food and clothing.
You must know that in war-torn times, those who did not die were already in the upper echelons of society.
But then, strange things began to happen in the town.
The townspeople who depend on the mountains often go hunting in the mountains in autumn to stock up on food for the next year.
I just don’t know since when, strange things started happening on the mountain.
Hunters who go hunting in the mountains often disappear for a few days without any reason, and then when they come back, their temperament and personality are completely different from before.
Some of them even forget their own names, and their relatives around them can't remember them either. They don't talk or eat, and they look like a living zombie.
At that time, the old man called it a lost soul.
One or two were just accidental and coincidental, but as time went by, more and more people like this happened, and the local townspeople realized that something was wrong. They felt that something unclean must have come out of the mountains, so they asked Taoist priests to do something about it.
At that time, Buddhism was not very popular.
A shabby gymnasium can be found outside almost all such villages and towns.
At that time, there was a Taoist temple on the mountain in the town called Kaiyuan Temple.
"Kaiyuan Guan?"
Hearing this, Goatee was slightly startled: "Is it the predecessor of Kaiyuan Temple?"
They had long known that there was a Taoist temple here a long time ago, and that the Kaiyuan Temple was built by a monk for the purpose of trapping the ghost king in the well.
