The winding path stretched far into the distance, with a few small farmlands on the roadside.

Qinghe didn't go any further. She stood on the side of the road and looked at the mountain with lush vegetation not far away.

Wow, so resentful.

Therefore, the Eternal Paradise Sect hidden in the deep mountains and forests is actually a den of ghosts.

A young woman working in the fields came up from the field.

She looked at Qinghe carefully, and then asked, "Kid, what are you looking at?"

"I'm reading what my elder sister is talking about, the Eternal Paradise Sect. It's really amazing." Qinghe replied.

This place is even more resentful than the Spider Mountain she passed by before.

The young woman didn't know what she was imagining. Her expression became sympathetic. "So it was your sister who asked you to come. You must have had a hard time."

"Not bad." Qinghe just came to the tourist spot to check in.

The young woman stared at Qinghe's hair blown by the wind in a trance. This color, without a trace of impurities, was so similar to that of the Great Patriarch.

She stretched out her hand and wanted to touch Qinghe's hair, but Qinghe blocked her hand with an umbrella.

"No." Qinghe didn't want to have his hair touched by someone for no reason.

The young woman took back her hand, with a slight blush on her face: "Pure and good child, the Patriarch will like you, come, let me lead the way for you."

The young woman took two steps forward. Seeing that Qinghe didn't move, she stopped and urged, "Come on, don't be afraid."

Although the situation was not going well, this was exactly what Qinghe wanted. She was not going to refuse a free tour guide, so she followed the young woman.

This path leading up the mountain is covered with weeds. It is probably not a path that believers often take. It seems that they are quite cautious.

After walking for a while, a respectable-looking temple appeared before them.

The young woman led Qinghe in through the small door at the back of the temple.

There were not many people in the temple, mostly young women. They had gentle expressions and were busy in an orderly manner.

"I will arrange a place for you to live. You must study hard and become a qualified maid in the future." The young woman admonished Qinghe.

Qinghe: “???” Ah, she was hired passively?

Qinghe didn't expect that he could find a job after visiting.

The young woman taught with a serious face: "Although the Patriarch is very gentle, we must also serve him respectfully."

After the young woman finished her instructions, she headed towards the front yard.

Qinghe walked around the backyard. The believers she met were not surprised by her presence. Instead, they smiled and nodded to her.

When she passed by the kitchen, the cook gave her some sweet flower cakes.

It's a weird temple, but it's a good place to escape the summer heat.

Qinghe found a seat in the cool corridor and sat down, watching with boredom a group of girls chatting while drying flower petals in the backyard.

"It's great that Ryoko can receive the favor of the Lord Patriarch."

"Whenever I think of the face of the Patriarch, I can't help but blush and my heart beat fast. Ryoko can actually..."

"Okay, there's a kid over there, stop talking nonsense." The girl named Ryoko hurriedly stopped her companions from speaking envious words.

It was hard for Qinghe not to think too much, oh my, is that a serious favor?

A young man walked in from the other side of the moon-shaped gate and greeted the girl who was drying flower petals with a smile.

"Ryoko, the Patriarch is looking for you."

Ryoko put down the basket in her hand and walked towards the man: "Okay, I'll be there right away."

"so good……"

The girls who were left there continued to speak words of envy.

"Run away, don't stay here, good boy, leave quickly." A different female voice came from behind Qinghe.

The chilly air spread through the corridor, making the backyard even cooler.

"This is not a good place to stay, run away quickly." The woman was kneeling, wearing the same clothes as those girls.

She reached out to push Qinghe away, but her pale and cold hands passed through Qinghe's shoulders.

"I, can't touch it?" The woman murmured to herself. She suddenly remembered: "Oh, right, I'm dead."

She thought about it, then leaned over to Qinghe's ear and blew cold air. Children are timid, so this should scare the child away.

Qinghe covered his ears and moved away: "Don't do weird things to strangers."

This temple, from humans to ghosts and spirits, is full of weird creatures.

"You can see me?!" the woman was surprised.

She moved closer to Qinghe and advised again: "Run away quickly, the leader is an ugly man-eating devil!"

"But those girls said he was very handsome." Qinghe was actually a little curious.

Keeping curiosity is an advantage. If you give up exploring, you will miss a lot of interesting things.

"It's all an illusion! He is a ghost." The woman didn't want to see anyone being deceived again.

Qinghe thought back to the ghosts he had seen before, the human-headed spider and the strange-looking ghost...ah, they were so disgusting that even if he couldn't see them clearly, he would still feel disgusted.

"You make sense. Goodbye." Qinghe stood up. She decided to be a good child who listens to advice today.

I've visited it, but it's just so-so. I might as well go back to Gui Lantern to watch the trial.

The young woman who had brought Qinghe up the mountain before hurried over. She looked very excited.

"My dear child, the Patriarch heard what I said about you and decided to meet you. How lucky you are!"

Hearing the young woman's words, the believers who were drying the flower petals all cast envious glances at Qinghe.

"Don't go, run away quickly!" The woman ghost stopped him anxiously.

Once you are targeted by that evil ghost, it will be difficult to escape.

"Since you have been favored by the Lord Patriarch, you must perform well, my good boy." The young woman stared at Qinghe closely, with an expression as if she was willing to share the honor and disgrace with him.

Qinghe weighed the pros and cons. Although it might make him feel really disgusted, it could still satisfy his curiosity.

These ghosts look all kinds of different, and she is really curious, how ugly can they be?

Well...anyway, I'm here.

So Qinghe didn't refute the young woman, but said: "I'll try my best?"

"You can't go! That's a very scary evil ghost. Run away quickly, there's still time." The female ghost continued to persuade.

She subconsciously stretched out her hand to stop Qinghe, but this time her hand touched Qinghe's wrist.

"Shh, it's time to go." Qinghe said, and sent the ghost to hell.

Let this worrying ghost go to Yama Palace and cut in line.

The young woman thought Qinghe was talking to her, so she turned and walked ahead: "Okay, please follow me."

The closer you get to the Patriarch's room, the quieter the surroundings become. In addition to the fresh floral scent, the air is also mixed with a slightly sweet and fishy smell.

The young woman stopped outside the door and did not move. She knelt down and respectfully reported to the people inside: "Please tell the Patriarch that I have brought the child with me."

The door was opened, and the man who had just gone to the backyard to call Ryoko away appeared.

"Come, child, the Patriarch is waiting for you."

Qinghe followed the man and walked into the dark room.

The door was closed and the dim room was lit by candles.

After walking through a long corridor, we finally reached the room at the end.

The man knocked on the door and reported to the people inside: "Master, the child is here."

"So fast, let her in." A very young male voice came from inside.

After Qinghe went in, the door was closed again.

There was no light in the room, but it was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Qinghe narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man in the high position.

It actually looks quite normal, with a nose and eyes, no extra parts and no missing parts.

"Hey, little girl, do you have any opinion about my appearance?" Douma felt subtle disappointment from her eyes.

He became a little interested. It was rare to be able to feel emotions from other people. It was really interesting.

Qinghe thought she would see something shockingly ugly, but it turned out to be so normal. She was a little disappointed: "It's so ordinary."

"Do I look ordinary?" Douma touched his face.

Although he didn't care about these things, judging from the reactions of his followers, he should be considered handsome.

"What a picky little girl." Douma pretended to complain.

Qinghe ignored him and started to tour the house.
