Fireproof and anti-theft, safe and sound all night long! "
"Bang-bang! Bang! Bang!"
After hearing all this sound, several people breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out to be the night watchman!
However, the sound was slow and fast, indicating that it was already the fourth watch.
For the update sound.
Beating three times in a row, one slowly and one quickly, is the end of the watch, which means it is night.
One sound followed by another, repeated several times in a row, is the second update.
The third watch is one slow and two fast, the fourth watch is one slow and three fast, and the fifth watch is one slow and four fast.
So just listening to the sound of the watchman knocking the bamboo clapper is enough to know the time.
They didn't even realize they did anything when they came to Kurongyuan, but they spent so much time there without even realizing it.
But as soon as I changed my mind, my heart became excited again.
Kurongyuan has been abandoned for many years, and there are not many people nearby. Why do people come here on duty?
The three of them are all well-educated and courageous, and they are not surprised by any monsters.
It was just that they had just experienced Jiang Wang's strange danger, which inevitably made them a little wary.
Several people looked at each other.
Fourteen, wearing a negative Yue Jia, walked in front silently.
Jiang Wang's hand was on his sword, and he and Zhong Xuansheng were following each other, naturally forming a formation of three talents. This was a tacit understanding born on the battlefield.
As mentioned before, outside the ruins of Kurei-yuan, there is a pool of stagnant water. It is said that it was a large hole left after uprooting the mountain and melting the Buddha, and it was filled by rainwater.
Just after the three of them walked out of the ruins, they saw a slightly rickety man standing next to the pool of stagnant water with his back to them. Wearing a shabby leather hat and a tattered jacket, he held a lantern made of white paper, hanging above the pool.
Fourteen was wearing heavy armor, and he was ready to go without any special control. When he walked, he inevitably made the sound of armor friction.
"who?"
The man by the pool turned his head sharply. Under the pale light, there was an aging face, eyes wide open, but without any look at all - he was blind!
Dead water, blind man, white lantern...
But his hands haven't stopped yet, and they are still knocking on the bamboo clapper.
"Bang-bang! Bang! Bang!"
Fourth watch!
"Passers-by." Chong Xuansheng said in a suppressed voice.
The rickety blind man stopped banging his clapper and said: "Don't bully me into being blind, I have a clear mind!"
No cultivation can be detected from him.
But as soon as these words came out, invisible pressure was felt by the three of them.
In Tongtian Palace, Jiang Yan's voice suddenly came out from the dark candle: "If I were you, I would escape from here as soon as possible and don't worry about anything!"
Jiang Yan's voice was very cautious.
Based on the speed at which the flame meteor exploded, he might indeed be able to escape faster than Chong Xuan Sheng and Shi Shi.
But Jiang Wang just held the hilt of the sword tightly and ignored Jiang Yan's suggestion: "I don't dare to deceive my husband, we are going back now."
The figure of the watchman remained motionless, and the white lantern seemed to be frozen in the air.
He only asked slowly: "Do you know where this is?"
Jiang Wang is indeed more sincere and easier to trust. Therefore, Chong Xuansheng also remained silent and allowed Jiang Wang to come forward to negotiate.
Jiang Wang thought for a while and replied: "The ruined temple is in ruins."
"Did you see anything?"
"What you see in your eyes are broken walls. What you see in your heart are just obstacles in your heart!"
The watchman asked again: "Do you know the way home?"
"Remember clearly!"
What Jiang Wang said was indeed not half false.
The watchman paused for a moment and then said: "Be careful on the road and don't disturb the neighbors."
After saying that, he pulled the white paper lantern aside, as if to guide the three of them.
"Thank you, father-in-law." Jiang Wang said, going to pass by.
Chongxuan Sheng suddenly asked: "How can I hold up a white lantern when my father-in-law is here? Is this like a memorial ceremony?"
The watchman said: "Maybe the paint has peeled off. I'm blind and can't see it."
Chong Xuansheng said: "Where does my father-in-law live? Later I will send someone to your door to touch up the paint for you."
The watchman raised the white lantern in front of his eyes, as if his blind eyes could vaguely perceive some colors of the world.
However, the light from the white lantern shone on his wrinkled face, making it look particularly strange.
He said slowly: "If you are sincere, you might as well go home with me, and we will make up for it now."
Zhong Xuansheng shrank back: "No need, it's more important for me to fight."
Without saying any more words, the three of them left here seemingly casually, but in fact they were vigilant.
…
After walking far away, when I looked back, I could no longer see the light of the white lantern.
Chongxuan Shengcai said solemnly: "There are indeed weird things in Kurong Courtyard, otherwise there would be no need to arrange an unfathomable watchman here."
Watching the clock is just a very common occupation, but after all, you are eating royal food, and in a sense, you are also a member of the government.
And the people who work the clock are also divided into different levels.
As we all know, in addition to telling the time and reminding people to prevent fire and theft, the watch also has another function - to drive away ghosts.
When it comes to the extraordinary, of course an ordinary watchman cannot do this.
The watchman outside the ruins of Kurongyuan is probably the scariest one.
With the current strength of Jiang Wang and others, it is impossible to tell the depth.
What kind of secret is it that leads to such a powerful watchman patrolling the Kureiyuan so many years after it was razed?
And why can it cause changes in the swastika and torture one's conscience?
Of course Jiang Wang knew why Chong Xuansheng attached so much importance to this issue.
The "weirdness" in Kurongyuan is probably related to the changes in his father back then.
Jiang Wang asked in Tongtian Palace: "Do you know anything about the watchman just now?"
Jiang Yan reminded him to escape just now, so he must have some judgment.
However……
Ming Zhu remained motionless and Jiang Xiang remained silent.
Haha, quite temperamental.
"We can only leave it alone for now." Jiang Wang said seriously.
If you don't have enough strength, everything you think about is useless.
Chong Xuan Sheng also nodded: "I know."
He turned to ask: "I didn't have time to ask just now, what did you gain in Kurongyuan? I feel that your aura is more agile and your momentum is more stable."
"Life and death, glory and prosperity, life and death are in a whirlwind. Kurongyuan must have been an amazing place back then." Jiang Wang said: "My Taoist heart has become stronger, and at the same time I have become aware of some of my own problems."
He had a clear understanding in his heart: "My longevity is not perfect enough. This will be a barrier that will hinder my further cultivation."
After searching your heart and having a clear conscience.
While strengthening his Taoist heart, he became aware of his own regrets.
Although there was a longevity pill and a longevity fruit for the life spent on the White Bone Escape Technique in Maplewood City, it still could not be fully compensated.
Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why he was unable to reach his limit in Tongtian Realm at that time.
This is still the disadvantage of the lack of guidance from famous teachers. Many problems can only be discovered after hitting a wall, and even if they are broken and bloody, they may not be discovered. When Chong Xuan Sheng gave him the longevity fruit, he thought it would make up for his regrets, but it was actually a bit worse.
Zhong Xuansheng nodded and said: "If the problem can be discovered, it can be solved. If you need anything, please tell me at any time."
Fourteen, wearing heavy armor, stepped silently on the long street.
…
The three of them quickly blended into the Linzi night.
And in the vast night behind them, a white paper lantern flashed past.
"Bang-bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Five o'clock in the morning.
