Chapter 197 - Picking up soap, terrifying
Chapter 197 – Picking up soap, terrifying
After all, the matter about the Dust World was too incredible. Wei Xiao Bei believed that if he told his mother, she would send him to No.98 Bai Wai Street for therapy.
It must be known that No.98 Bei Wai Street’s full name is Bai Ta County Psychiatric Hospital.
Wei Xiao Bei did not care how others would view his changes that much. In truth, other than his family, no one would be able discern these changes.
At home, the only one who fussed about it the most was Wei Xiao Yun. She kept pestering Wei Xiao Bei about his secrets that made him exhausted.
For the next few days, Wei Xiao Bei went to the local god’s temple and the Shing Wong Temple. He went closer to inspect the situation of the two temples.
What disappointed Wei Xiao Bei was that the only information he obtained was an estimate on how many people came to the temples. Even when he used [Status Appraisal], he was not able to find any information at all. On the contrary, it had tired him out.
After all, using this ability had a price even if its cost was less than most active abilities and skills.
After ending up with no leads, Wei Xiao Bei finally decided to go to Bai Ta Hill.
In truth, going to Bai Ta Hill was not a good choice at the moment.
After all, the police hadn’t given up on their search. The amount of checkpoints on the way had even increased.
Normally, it would take less than 20 minutes to drive from the county to Bai Ta Hill.
In this trip, Wei Xiao Bei took public transport and ended up wasting two hours.
Wei Xiao Bei only relaxed once he climbed up the hill with incense sticks and yellow paper.
The police had already given up searching in the vicinity of the temple. They only left a few members of the militia as guards. They did not even heavily inspect the worshippers going up the mountain.
The most fortunate thing was that there were no police dogs.
Wei Xiao Bei was slightly afraid of police dogs. After fighting with Hu Yi Duo, there should be a bit of his lingering scent in the area. If there were police dogs in the vicinity, they might have barked at Wei Xiao Bei.
Although he did not have any criminal records, he might be invited back to provide assistance in the inspection.
After reaching the top, Wei Xiao Bei noticed that there were a lot of worshippers. Compared to the Shing Wong Temple and the local god’s temple, the amount of people here was countless times more. There were even couples and families.
From this, the amount of burning incense was a lot more than the other two temples.
There were even 10 special iron barrels for burning paper offerings that continued to burn. From time to time, the worshippers would even put more paper in the iron barrels and pray.
The rows of censers were also filled with burning incense sticks.
Wei Xiao Bei lit an incense stick and stuck in into the censer. He also burned yellow paper in the iron barrels and made a prayer
His own appearance was very eye-grabbing, but he was unwilling to be the center of everyone’s attention.
After finishing what he needed to accomplish, he came to the front of the white tower.
As a construct symbol of the Bai Ta County and a popular hotspot, this white tower was not a place where you could tour for free.
Everybody knew this. Guarding, cleaning, and maintaining other expenditures were needed to preserve the white tower. So most of the expenditures should be placed on the entrance fee.
Wei Xiao Bei had never went up the tower before. Today was his first time, so he did not mind the 50 yuan entrance fee.
Compared to other scenic spots, this place could already be considered cheap.
Naturally, this place was a bit dull since the only place to tour was the white tower.
The white tower was not a simple tower that could be compared to other small towers.
After entering, Wei Xiao Bei noticed that the inside of the tower was not small. The spiral stone staircase going upwards was four people wide.
In terms of tower constructs, this was already very wide.
From the first floor, Wei Xiao Bei could see the many carved statues on the walls with names on them.
This had saved him a lot of trouble.
On the first four floors were people with simple worker clothes and soldier clothes. On the 5th to 8th floors were sculptures resembling boys with lords in their titles. On the 9th to the 10th floors were sculptures of envoys, officials, vassals with meritorious deeds, and others. On the 11th floor were sculptures of the eight heavenly monarchs, water gods, mountain gods, and others. On the 12th floor were the star monarch, the golden monarch, the heavenly master, and others. At the very top floor were the four heavenly emperors and various important figures.
When Wei Xiao Bei reached the 9th and 10th floor, he examined things more carefully.
Hard work paid off, and he finally found the statue of the Ming Lun Envoy on the corner of the 10th floor.
When Wei Xiao Bei saw the statue, he was speechless as his mouth hung open.
It was the exact same image as the little girl he had met.
He even felt that a familiar air being emitted by the statue.
As for using [Status Appraisal], he did not dare do so.
He had a feeling that the status had some kind of relationship with the Ming Lun Envoy of the Dust World. He just needed to throw a [Status Appraisal] at it, and he would know the answer. However, the problem would probably arrive at the same moment.
On the 9th to the 13th floor, Wei Xiao Bei went up and down a few times and carefully inspected the statues.
From the 13th, 12th, and 9th floors, Wei Xiao Bei did not feel anything peculiar from the statues.
However, on the 11th floor, Wei Xiao bei found a statue that gave off a different aura. Its name was the Lightning Judge.
Judging from the statue, Wei Xiao Bei knew that this was one of the judges of the underworld. They could judge the sins and virtues of human souls. Other than Yama, the king of Hell, the judges could be considered to be the second-in-command.
However, the statue of the Thunder Judge was too different from how Wei Xiao Bei imagined the judges. The statue was wearing a cyan-colored qilin fighting armor. Its left hand was holding a sharp awl, and it’s right hand was holding onto a rectangular stone tablet.
As for the 10th floor, Wei Xiao Bei found a few statues that gave him a different feeling. These were three envoys, four vassals, and two officials. As for their names, there were just words attached to the name plates like Taiho Official, or Qian Yu Envoy.
At this time, Wei Xiao Bei came to the conclusion that the Bai Ta Hill in the Dust World was being managed by these people.
After finding these statues, Wei Xiao Bei’s doubts were not resolved; on the contrary, they had increased.
It was already in the afternoon when he got home. Zhu Xin Yi, Wei Xiao Yun, and his mother were all together testing out their newly bought cosmetics and talking about clothes in high spirits.
Seeing Wei Xiao Bei return, the three of them raised their heads and greeted his return before returning back to their conversation.
Wei Xiao Bei bitterly smiled. He could see that Zhu Xin Yi was slowly blending into his family.
His mother was probably dreaming of wrapping him up as a gift and sending him to Zhu Xin Yi.
After entering the bathroom, Wei Xiao Bei took a towel and washed his face. He frowned when he saw the faint blackness left on the towel.
At this time, the amount of sweat and oil coming out of his body had increased, and the color was a lot darker.
After opening his channels and meridians, his cultivation had increased, and it was able to reach a proper and steady cycle inside his body. Even if Wei Xiao Bei did not enter a stance to train qi, the qi would slowly flow through his blood channels.
Being able to reach this level would help his body’s recovery and remove impurities from within his body. This caused the amount of oils and sweat to increase and also made his body odor thicker.
Wei Xiao Bei then decided to take a bath while shaking his head. He removed his clothes, put the towel on his shoulder, and prepared to test the water temperature.
The women in his house loved hotter water, but Wei Xiao Bei liked it a bit lower. This did not have any relation to being afraid of the hot or cold water but of comfortability
After finding the right temperature, the soap box suddenly fell on the ground.
When Wei Xiao Bei was about to bend down and pick up the soap box and soap, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if someone was directly blowing on his back.
When he raised his head to take a look, he suddenly noticed that a red-clothed woman had appeared behind him in the decorative mirror on top of the heater.
This?
Wei Xiao Bei suddenly remembered that the Ming Lun Envoy told him that the evil possession would return after a period of time. He became too careless and never imagined that it would reappear on this day!
In an instant, a bony claw suddenly came out from the mirror and scratched toward Wei Xiao Bei’s face.
Wei Xiao Bei’s body trembled, but he did not hesitate and sent out a punch with his right hand.
Bang! The fist struck at the claw, but the claw suddenly vanished, causing Wei Xiao Bei’s fist to directly hit the heater.
Immediately, the decorative mirror on the heater cracked, which also caused the entire heater to crack.
In just a few moments, the heater appeared as if it was hit by an artillery shell and split open.
At this time, Wei Xiao Bei already pulled back his fists and kicked behind him while immediately releasing electricity!
In an instant, electricity spread out like tree branches, filling up the entire bathroom.
The water from the cracked water heater had extended the reach of the electricity. Even a portion of the electricity directly made contact the bathroom’s electric current.
Bang, bang, bang. Soon, a series of light bursts came from all over the building. The devices that were connected to the electric circuit of the building were all destroyed after not being able to handle the increase voltage of electricity.
A sharp scream suddenly echoed where the electric current spread.
At this time, Wei Xiao Bei finally relaxed.
The effect of the evil possession had disappeared from his body. Wei Xiao Bei also guessed that the effect of the Fortune Tea should have mixed in with his electricity and heavily damaged the evil possession.
