This girl is a streetwalker in the demon world

At daybreak, An Ling finally followed the guidance of her hair and arrived at a very lively place.

This is an undeveloped mountain forest, located a few miles outside Tianxing Prefecture. Dozens of neatly arranged houses are tightly surrounded by a large ancestral hall with carved beams and painted rafters and exquisite structure in the middle. It looks like a moon surrounded by stars, and it is obviously very important at first glance.

It is just daybreak now, but there are already many people moving around nearby. The ancestral hall and various intersections are guarded by soldiers. Pedestrians on the road have festive smiles on their faces and are walking hurriedly, each doing their own work. For example, some are fetching water, some are practicing martial arts, and some are "wearing" a strange wooden frame and swinging it around.

An Ling was also exhausted at this time. After falling heavily from the city wall, she had to walk for such a long time on her own, which made her look a little haggard. However, she still hoped to find Qin Lanzhi as soon as possible, so she stepped forward and asked passers-by: "Hello, have you seen a woman who is about my age and stature carrying a large bow?"

The passerby was holding a basin of oil paint and looked at An Ling in confusion. He looked her up and down and said, "Who are you? Don't you know that women are not allowed to enter here?"

Just this one sentence made An Ling's meridians throb. She realized that the people she had just seen were all young and strong men. But she still took a deep breath, adhered to the tourist principle of "when in Rome, do as the Romans do", and smiled and replied: "I'm just passing by to look for someone, I won't go in. Besides me, have you seen any other women passing by?"

The passerby holding the oil paint was also quite old, probably old enough to be a father. Seeing An Ling like this, he warned her earnestly, "Little girl, stay home if you have nothing to do. This is a very primitive forest, and there are wolves at night! I have never seen your friend before, I can go inside and ask for you later."

An Ling thanked him and sat down on a tree. She looked at the hair in her hand in confusion. It was impossible. Qin Lanzhi was clearly in there. Why did he say he had never seen her? Could it be...

Thinking of the scene when she first met Qin Lanzhi, she couldn't help but worry. Could Qin Lanzhi have been kidnapped by some mountain god or something like that again?

Before she could worry for long, the hair in her palm moved again. It slowly turned to the right, then to the left, and finally pointed to the woods.

An Ling jumped down from the tree immediately. The wound on her back was pulled a little, and she frowned slightly in pain.

Ever since she made the "double jump" on the city wall, she had exhausted all her spiritual energy and had no time to rest properly. Now she estimated that it would take several more hours before she could use the "Wind Control Technique". An Ling sighed and decided to go, as if she had never done this before.

An Ling walked in the woods for nearly an hour like a big enemy, and finally found Qin Lanzhi who was hunting. She decided that she must beat this guy up to relieve the anger she had been feeling all night!

Qin Lanzhi was excited and her arrows hit the target. She shot another rabbit. Just as she was about to pick up the rabbit, An Ling lifted her up by the back of her neck. An Ling's gentle voice sounded behind her. She had never heard An Ling speak so gently before and she got goose bumps all over her body.

An Ling smiled and said, "Student Qin Lanzhi, are you having fun? Do you want to continue playing?"

……

Qin Lanzhi sat on the ground with a bruised face and sincerely apologized to An Ling: "Sister An, I'm sorry, I was wrong..."

"What did you do wrong? You must be right. You are so powerful and majestic. You ran so far away by yourself. You are so powerful!" An Ling said sarcastically. She was really angry. Qin Lanzhi was simply a naughty child. Relying on her archery skills, she ran out of the city alone in the middle of the night. Not to mention the monsters and ghosts, even the wolves in the mountains could eat her in one bite!

"Do you know how worried your mother is about you? She cried so hard that she couldn't even open her eyes. How could you bear it!" Thinking of Qi Yun's tears, An Ling became angry again, and she cursed and knocked Qin Lanzhi's head.

“Wuwuwuwu…” The naughty child finally realized his mistake and started to cry, wiping the tears from his face with the back of his hand. “Mom, wuwuwuwu… Even if this is the case, I will not go back to that guy. I can support myself!”

Well, it’s too early, she hasn’t changed at all!

An Ling lifted Qin Lanzhi up and said to her seriously, "I don't care what you think, but for the next few days, just a few days, you must stay in the city and not run around, understand?"

"Why……"

An Ling just said four words: "It's time to go to war."

……

The two began to return to Tianxing Mansion. Qin Lanzhi lowered her head with an unconvinced look on her face, while An Ling walked in front with her arms folded and a heavy face.

"No, there is an evil spirit over there!" An Ling turned around suddenly and looked towards the complex of buildings.

Thinking of the exquisite ancestral hall and the people holding paints and training, An Ling guessed that it had a lot to do with the Gods Parade Festival. The appearance of evil spirit in the ancestral hall was not a good sign.

An Ling called Qin Lanzhi and said, "Let's go to the ancestral hall."

Qin Lanzhi curled her lips and said in a long voice: "Why go there? There is nothing there, just a few statues and some puppets."

But she still believed in An Ling unconditionally. She pulled An Ling and led her to go in from the back of the ancestral hall. As they walked, she whispered, "I stayed in there last night and ate some offerings from the gods. There is a hole in the back that we can go in."

"This is not a good idea..." An Ling said.

Qin Lanzhi just waved her hand and said, "What does it matter? It's not like you and I haven't seen the 'Mountain God' before. I even escaped the Mountain God's wedding. Am I afraid of these ordinary statues? Let's go."

The two of them quickly went in. An Ling looked around and found that this was a storage room somewhere in the ancestral hall. It was full of things covered with red cloth and a thick layer of dust.

An Ling activated her spiritual vision, which included a series of detection techniques such as the Yin-Yang Eyes and the Qi-Seeing Technique. Now her body has not fully recovered, and it is a little strenuous for her to perform so many techniques.

An Ling looked around and found that the source of the evil spirit was on the left side of the gate, so she took Qin Lanzhi and quietly moved over there.

……

On the altar, a male deity was sitting, wearing a wide robe with big sleeves and an official hat. The colorful colors added a sense of mystery to him. Below him, several people were sticking long incense on their foreheads and chanting something.

"There's something in the statue!" An Ling hid in the dark, with sharp eyes, she found something hidden in the statue! A ball of black air was twisting inside the statue, looking very creepy.

She looked at the other statues again. They all had a bright yellow glow. The bright yellow color came from the spiritual light of mortals. This represented that the statues collected the faith of the people and were righteous gods. Among all the statues in the room, only this one looked strange.

"Please come in, sir!" Several men shouted, preparing to move the statue down from the altar.

An Ling felt distressed but did not dare to jump out. She could only watch them carry the statue down, place it steadily on the sedan chair, and then cover it with a red cloth.

Qin Lanzhi explained, "I overheard last night that they are preparing for tomorrow's parade of gods. They will carry these most important statues into the temple in Tianxing Prefecture, and then start the parade around the city after the ritual tomorrow."

An Ling couldn't imagine what would happen after everyone happily carried the ghost hiding inside into the city...
