Folklore: Pre-emptive shelter begins with the stomach.

Chapter 8: First Encounter with the "False Human Ghost"

As usual.

Before the sun had even set, the sky had already begun to become eerily dim and hazy.

Just as Feng Mo was preparing to welcome the new night, a commotion came from outside the temple of the hungry.

Two figures, one after the other, were running towards him at top speed!

Their faces were not visible in the dim light, but judging from the fact that it was not yet completely dark, they should be two living people.

The direction we came from was Huanjiang Road.

Feng Mo was overjoyed.

It's nice to have someone here!

Not only did he get the disaster stone, but his upgrade of the city wall tonight is also sorted out.

But as the figure drew closer, Feng Mo's brows began to furrow.

The one rushing forward was none other than his old acquaintance—Gu Zhenren.

Although we hadn't seen each other for a day, it was a joyful reunion with an old acquaintance.

But before he could be happy for long, Feng Mo saw that behind Gu Zhenren, there was another person who looked exactly like him!

Chasing ahead and pursuing from behind!

There are actually two people sleeping alone!

Faced with this situation, Feng Mo lost his ease and his expression turned serious.

The man standing at the front, with his head resting on his stomach, was overjoyed, especially when he saw Feng Mo standing near the door:

"Third Young Master! Let me in quickly! There's something fishy behind here!"

He had barely finished speaking when Gu Zhenren behind him said, "Third Young Master! He's the imposter! Don't let him in!"

Hearing the two shouts, Feng Mo, who had been about to make a move, stopped.

The two lonely figures approaching him were actually accusing each other of being ghosts!

This mind-bending situation made Feng Mo's brows furrow even more deeply.

An idea popped into his head—the fake human ghost!

A fake human was lurking between the two lonely men!

Then, Gu Zhenren, who was standing at the front, shouted again:

"Third Young Master, let me in quickly! Don't believe him!"

"Don't listen to him, Third Young Master!" Gu Zhenren shouted sharply from behind.

The two lonely men were bickering again, but no matter what they said, Feng Mo remained silent.

Finally, the two lonely men arrived outside the Temple of Five Internal Organs.

They stood on the left and right sides outside the Five Internal Organs Temple, avoiding the trap, and looked at each other warily.

"It's true! Third Young Master, I'm not lying to you!"

"I'm the real one, let me in first!"

The two lonely officials continued to bicker, but strangely, neither of them ended up fighting each other.

Even the clay sculptures they held in their hands were the means by which Feng Mo saved his life when he met Gu Zhenren that day.

Feng Mo simply smiled at this.

And just like that, he disappeared right under the noses of the two lonely men.

The two lonely pillows were slightly taken aback.

A short while later, when they saw Feng Mo again, they found him holding two bowls of water, which he had placed at the door.

"Drink it, and I'll let you in," Feng Mo said.

His tone was commanding, leaving no room for discussion, as if without drinking this bowl of water, even the most devoted bachelor would have no chance of eating.

So the two lonely men took the bowls away one after the other, keeping a watchful eye on each other.

The two of them gulped down two bowls of water.

After finishing his drink, he stepped through the door.

Neither the "mysterious campfire" nor the "amulet stone" had any effect at this moment.

When Feng Mo saw the Lone Pillow Man walk in, he became wary of the other Lone Pillow Man.

But at that moment, the expression on Gu Zhenren's face changed as he walked through the door.

Gu Zhenren's face, weathered and tanned, seemed to be the result of his daily toil.

At this moment, the seasoned look on his face was gone.

Like melting wax, his entire face peeled off.

Eyebrows, nose, even eyes!

In just a few breaths, all that remained was a pale face devoid of any features, as white as a sheet of paper!

Feng Mo raised an eyebrow.

Is the lonely pillow that walks in a deceitful person?

But what about the other end?

Feng Mo's gaze immediately fell upon another lonely figure, only to find that... his face was the same!

His facial features seemed to melt away like wax.

Where can one find solace in solitude?

Both ends were clearly fake human monsters!

They seemed unaware of the effects of the bowl of water, and were simply eager to drink it as soon as possible!

After the skin peeled off, the once fluent speech turned into painful wails!

"Ugh... Ahhhhh!"

The talisman water not only removed their disguises, but also caused them considerable damage!

The cool talisman water they had just drunk melted their bellies like lava, dissolving everything in its path.

They immediately turned and ran away!

And Feng Mo was quick-witted and nimble-fingered!

He gripped the wooden dagger at his waist and threw it at the nearest fake human mask!

The aim was excellent; with the adrenaline surging, every shot hit its mark!

"Aaaaaaah!"

Another wail followed, then he turned into a pool of black ash!

"Loan already repaid"

Just now, at the critical moment, Feng Mo preemptively threw his dagger, barely managing to kill the strange creature.

Meanwhile, the other side immediately fled towards Huanjiang Road!

There's no way around it; even a charlatan possesses a certain level of intelligence.

Not only are they eloquent and good at avoiding traps, but they can even play some tricks.

If he hadn't been more cautious, he probably would have succeeded.

But at that moment, a clear and authoritative voice came from Huanjiang Road:

"Drink—Extinguish!"

A blurry, three-meter-long shadow appeared, its face obscured, but it bore a resemblance to a portion of the previous clay figure sculpture.

This shout silenced the fleeing imposter, and a subsequent slap reduced it to ashes.

Without the fake human figure, the phantom vanished in the next instant.

At this moment, a desolate figure appeared on Huanjiang Road; it was yet another lonely man.

He glanced at the night, which was about to darken completely, and immediately rushed towards his stomach:

"Third Young Master, have you seen another fake human ghost?"

"Here, drink it." Feng Mo didn't respond, but simply brought over a bowl of water.

Gu Zhenren didn't try to evade the issue; he simply gulped it down.

The water had a strange, incense-like smell, but it was sweet when it went down his throat, which made him feel at ease and even relieved a lot of the fatigue from his journey.

"Third Young Master, you're so kind!" Gu Zhenren was unaware of Feng Mo's actions and assumed that Feng Mo was simply offering him a bowl of water to help him relax after a long day.

Feng Mo waited a while longer, and only after confirming that the other party was not acting strangely did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

This time it seems to be true.

"My lord, how have you been?" Feng Mo bowed respectfully.

Meanwhile, the clever little white cat rushed towards Gu Zhenren and circled around him.

Having gotten to know him better before, Xiaobai clearly considered him a friend.

……

Inside the Five Internal Organs Temple.

After paying with a piece of the disaster stone, Gu Zhenren sat around the campfire, while Feng Mo sat on the other side.

At this moment, Gu Zhenren was somewhat disheveled.

He had left in a clean and neat black official robe, but now he was covered in mud and looked disheveled.

Gu Zhenren heard about Feng Mo's ordeal and also learned the whereabouts of the other pseudo-human monster.

"I admire the Third Young Master!" Gu Zhenren felt a chill after hearing this.

He almost fell for the trick when those two fake humanoids disguised themselves as his colleagues, and he nearly lost his life.

On the other hand, the Third Young Master not only didn't fall for the trick, but even killed one of the fake ghosts and seriously injured another.

This gave him an opportunity to take revenge.

All the admiration is contained in this one sentence.

"By the way, what happened to you on your journey, sir?" Feng Mo asked.
