Originally, even if Zhang Yifeng became a mortal, his running speed would not be slow.
Not to mention that this old Li has been farming and hunting all year round. He has a lot of tendons and meat on his body, and his physical fitness is absolutely sufficient for ordinary mortals.
However, in order to take care of Lao Liu, Zhang Yifeng deliberately slowed down.
And in the process of running to the mountain temple, he took the initiative to hold Lao Liu from time to time to prevent him from slowing down.
Perhaps because he was so encouraged by Zhang Yifeng, Lao Liu gritted his teeth and persisted all the way.
Even though beads of sweat continued to roll down his forehead and his breath was not as steady as before, he still persisted until the end.
Finally, Zhang Yifeng and Lao Liu rushed into the mountain temple one after another.
The two of them let go of each other's hands almost at the same time and fell to the ground, panting like cows.
"Li, Brother Li, thank you."
After trying hard to calm his breathing, Lao Liu turned his head and said to Zhang Yifeng with a grateful expression.
He could naturally feel that Lao Li had been supporting him along the way.
If it weren't for taking care of him, I'm afraid Lao Li would have rushed into the mountain temple with Lao Xu and the others.
"It's okay, we are all brothers from the same village."
Zhang Yifeng shook his head, and after taking a few deep breaths, he finally recovered his breathing.
He hasn't had this feeling for a long time, and now that he has become a mortal again, he feels a little nostalgic.
"You, please help light the lamps in the temple first, and I'll hold the door open."
Suddenly, a voice came and said to Zhang Yifeng and the others.
Zhang Yifeng was startled when he heard the sound. He looked up and saw that Lao Xu had already walked to the gate of the mountain temple, and worked with others to block the door.
Immediately, Zhang Yifeng's eyes flickered slightly, and an indescribable meaning flashed through his eyes.
"Lao Xu, are you sure you want me to go over and light the lamp?"
Zhang Yifeng lowered his voice and asked Lao Xu.
"Of course! What are you waiting for? Go and light the lamp!"
Lao Xu leaned against the door and shouted to Zhang Yifeng impatiently.
He threw the fire seal in his arms in front of Zhang Yifeng.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yifeng was vaguely aware of it, and stepped forward to pick up the fire folding piece with a calm expression on his face.
Then he and Lao Liu walked to the tribute platform and used fire sticks to light the candles on the tribute platform one by one.
The darkness in the Shushan Temple was dispersed by the bright lights.
Since he has become a mortal, Zhang Yifeng can no longer see at night.
You can only light the candles on the tribute platform with your own memory and feelings.
After barely adapting to the sudden lighting up of the surrounding environment, Zhang Yifeng slowly raised his head and looked above the tribute platform.
However, the scene on the tribute platform made Zhang Yifeng's pupils shrink suddenly.
Then I saw that the stone statue that was supposed to be standing on the tribute platform was missing.
Looking at the empty tribute platform, Zhang Yifeng suddenly felt an unpleasant feeling in his heart.
Even if he lost his magic power and became a mortal, Zhang Yifeng still had a keen sense of danger.
His eyes gradually became solemn, and Zhang Yifeng placed the fire folding piece on the tribute platform.
"Lao Liu, please go and help Lao Xu and replace him."
"I have something I want to ask him."
Zhang Yifeng turned his head and said to Old Liu with a solemn expression.
Seeing Zhang Yifeng's solemn look, Lao Liu quickly nodded to him in agreement.
After experiencing the near-death feat just now, Lao Liu already regarded Zhang Yifeng as his pillar of support and naturally obeyed his words.
Not long after, Lao Liu walked to the gate and whispered to Lao Xu for a while.
Then Lao Xu asked Lao Liu to hold the door for him, while he came to the tribute platform with a dark face.
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly."
Lao Xu said coldly without looking at Zhang Yifeng.
"You are not Lao Xu, right?"
With a little smile on his face, Zhang Yifeng lowered his voice and asked Lao Xu.
Hearing Zhang Yifeng's words, Lao Xu raised his eyelids, and his original casual attitude immediately dissipated.
With his back to the group of villagers holding the door behind him, Lao Xu looked at Zhang Yifeng with gloomy eyes.
"Who are you? A peerless scholar? Or... the emperor's grandson!" .??.
When Lao Xu spoke of the emperor's grandson, his deep voice revealed a little suppressed anger.
Zhang Yifeng looked down at his clenched fists, and the uneasiness in his heart was slightly dissipated.
Just look at the reactions of the people in front of you, plus the various attitudes that Lao Xu showed previously.
Zhang Yifeng has been able to determine the true identity of the old Xu in front of him.
"Friend Dao Dao Dao Dao Dao, calm down, I am the God of Killing."
Zhang Yifeng smiled slightly and said in a low voice to the great demon in front of him.
That's right, it was the Great Demon God who stood in front of Zhang Yifeng in Lao Xu's identity.
"Killing God?"
Hearing Zhang Yifeng announce himself, the suppressed anger in the Great Demon God's eyes gradually dissipated, and he loosened his clenched fists.
"How did you tell?"
The Great Demon God frowned slightly and asked Zhang Yifeng.
If Zhang Yifeng hadn't reported his family status, he wouldn't have known that the rough-skinned old farmer in front of him could be the suave god of murder.
On the contrary, Zhang Yifeng had already figured out his true identity without him having to reveal his identity.
"The Great Demon God doesn't know something, but I am actually in a trial with the peerless scholar..."
Zhang Yifeng lowered his voice and recounted what happened in the last trial.
In fact, Zhang Yifeng already felt something was wrong when the Great Demon God asked him to light the lamp.
After all, in the last trial, the candles on the tribute platform were lit by Lao Xu himself.
Even though this was just a small mistake, Zhang Yifeng was still able to capture it keenly.
"I see."
After hearing Zhang Yifeng's explanation, the Great Demon God had a look of surprise on his face.
No wonder he was seen through by Zhang Yifeng so easily. It turned out that the God of Death and the Peerless Scholar had already experienced all this.
"Then according to what you said, God of Death, we only need to stay in this mountain temple for one night and the crisis will be resolved?"
"That's fine. Now that your magic power has disappeared, how can you be a match for those white shadow ghosts with just this mortal body?"
The Great Demon God nodded, and his nervous mood immediately calmed down.
Even an extremely noble young Supreme will inevitably be afraid of unknown dangers after all his magic power disappears and he becomes a mortal.
The most important thing is that the Great Demon God does not want to be eliminated just after entering this trial.
Hearing the words of the Great Demon God, Zhang Yifeng felt horrified and opened his eyes wide.
"Wait a minute, Fellow Daoist Demon God, how many white shadow ghosts did you just say?"
Seeing Zhang Yifeng's shocked expression, the Great Demon God also had a bad premonition in his heart.
"I don't have a detailed count, but judging from the situation at that time, at least five white ghosts appeared in the camp."
"The other people in the camp were immediately eaten by those white shadow ghosts before they had time to react."
"I also took advantage of the chaos to escape with others."
