It had grown dark, within Jinliu Manor.
The sixteen people responsible for night watch were divided into four teams.
Among them, the teams to the north and east encountered an Evil Spirit.
The three soldiers patrolling the east side of Jinliu Manor, along with a junior flag-bearer, all perished, dying in the rice fields.
The three soldiers to the north had all met with disaster, only a junior flag-bearer, having encountered Wu Chang and others, managed to save his life, but he too was unconscious.
"Strange indeed!"
The two incense burners serving the minor Liu Venerate God had their expressions turn extremely grave.
The current incense burner looked middle-aged and was known as Gao Er-ye, the direct disciple of the third temple priest from Liu Zun Temple, privy to the true teachings.
The other was referred to as Lu Ye, a man past sixty, one of the most senior incense burners at the temple.
