Although the snow has stopped, the cold wind is still blowing the snowflakes. The man lying on the wicker chair is either calm or frowning, which is a very eye-catching picture. The lady's face was red from the cold. She looked at Jiang Wang blankly. Even if she doesn't have other thoughts, it's hard to look away.
After all, she had never seen such a good-looking man. As the guards described in a low voice, the lady bowed politely and guessed: "I think Mr. Lai is a monk?" Li Shenyuan once flew away in front of the guards, and Jiang Wang weirdly came to the town faster than them. , maintaining the same posture, except for the monster, only the monk can explain it. The lady did not speculate maliciously like the guard, but thought about the good side.
Jiang Wang did not deny it. The lady immediately asked the guard to apologize for being rude before. Although she was not convinced, the guard could only obey.
Jiang Wang said: "Although your guards are overly cautious, in the final analysis, they are for your safety, but on the contrary, you trust others too much. I didn't refute, so you identified me as a monk?" The lady said softly. "If sir was really a monster and we met him many times, we would have been dead long ago." Jiang Wang nodded, which indeed made sense.
The lady asked: "Sir, do you know about purple fire grass?" Jiang Wang shook his head. The lady was puzzled: "As a monk, how could you not know about Purple Fireweed?" Jiang Wang said helplessly: "Why do monks have to know about Purple Fireweed? And no one can know everything in the world." The lady did not hesitate anymore. , said sincerely: "My surname is Rao, I would like to ask my husband to help us go into the mountains to find purple fireflies." Jiang Wang frowned and said: "Mrs. Rao... Boss Shen of the inn should have made it very clear to you that the mountains are very dangerous. It's your business to go into the mountain, but it's unreasonable to ask me for help so easily." Mrs. Rao's voice became softer and she said: "What do you need, sir? If I have it, I will give it to you, and since you are Monk, do you believe or even fear the danger outside the mountain?" Jiang Wang said with a smile: "Although your voice is soft and waxy, which makes people subconsciously think that you don't mean anything else, I don't like the words themselves, and I don't like them either. I don't care what you really want to express, in short, I won't help you, and you can't give me what I want." Mrs. Rao waved her hands nervously and said, "I really don't mean anything else, I'm just really curious, outside the town Can the situation threaten the monks?" Jiang Wang said casually: "It's difficult to think about it. The town is not without monks passing by. If there was really a huge threat, the place would have been surrounded by monks, but the point is not what it does to me. It's a threat, but I'm too lazy to help you." Mrs. Rao said anxiously: "Why? My family doesn't have much power and has no access to monks, but it's not a small family. If you put forward the conditions, I will use all my family's strength to help you. , and you just need to take us into the mountain..." Jiang Wang interrupted her and said: "When you encounter danger in the mountain, you will naturally have to fight, so it is not just about taking you into the mountain. Of course, these don't really matter, because I also want to see what dangers there are in the mountains, even if it's just a casual thing, but I can definitely go by myself, what's the point of asking you burdensome people to follow me?" Li Shenyuan's figure appeared from the end of the street.
Jiang Wang stood up, took back the wicker chair, ignored the shocked looks of Mrs. Rao and the guards, walked straight to Su Changluo's courtyard, waved and said, "I hope you can find the purple firefly alive." Returning to the courtyard, he lay down on the vine again. Jiang Wang, who was sitting on the chair, looked at Li Shenyuan who walked in through the door and asked: "What kind of fun did you join in?" Li Shenyuan asked in surprise: "What happened just now?" Jiang Wang smiled and described briefly.
Li Shenyuan said nonchalantly: "A caravan has disappeared, and other caravans have been asked to take action, so they want to get more accurate information, but the people in the town only said that there is danger in the mountains and did not give any specific dangers. Then there was a caravan that wanted to cause trouble and even suspected the town." Jiang Wang asked: "Where is Su Changluo?" Li Shenyuan said: "Su Changluo just argued based on reason and did not show force. I looked bored and came back. Yes." Jiang Wang nodded and said: "Help me find that monster, I have to do something." Li Shenyuan frowned and said: "This is the first time you want me to follow the law with words." Jiang Wang was helpless. Said: "There is no way, I need that monster to help me regain some strength, and we can't stay in the town forever. I originally considered letting the monster come directly to the door, but it was a little too harsh, and I couldn't guarantee whether there would be any small ones. People in the town lost their lives because of this." Li Shenyuan said: "Actually, I made it very clear before, unless I say something that consumes a lot of money, I don't need to use your blood. Who wants you to make a fuss over simple things? It's complicated." Jiang Wang scratched his head and said, "Although I'm used to being empty, the feeling of sudden weakness is quite uncomfortable. I really don't want to experience it again if it's not necessary." Li Shenyuan thought, you have experienced it many times, but you just don't Just remember.
She suddenly remembered something and asked, "Can monsters restore your strength?" Jiang Wang said, "It's for some reason. I won't tell you what it is specifically. It's a secret." Li Shenyuan didn't know. Asked again, said something directly, and the two of them disappeared.
There were figures outside the courtyard. Looking at the empty courtyard, he looked around blankly. Then he seemed to realize something and ran back to the ancestral temple as fast as possible to inform the chief priest of the situation.
The old man in charge of the ceremony was silent for a moment and said: "Go find Su Changluo and bring him to the ancestral temple." After the visitor left, he looked at Shi Su who was sitting on the futon bored, and the old man in charge of the ceremony said: "You go there Take a trip to the mountains to see what those two people want to do, and if necessary, let them stay in the mountains forever." The person who stared at Jiang Wang was the best at hiding, and although Shi Sui was sometimes not smart, he still In fact, it was the most lethal, so the old man in charge could only leave this matter to him.
Shi Sui's eyes lit up. Because of his concerns, he was humiliated by Jiang Wang's snowball and did not really fight back. Now is the time to take revenge.
...Four towering peaks surround the town, and the ground is silvery white. Snowy mountains, snowy trees, and snowy rocks. Everything is covered with snow. Jiang Wang and Li Shenyuan stand in the snow, one in black robes and the other in red. , embellished with the unique colors here.
Jiang Wang naturally took out the wicker chair and lay down, looking around and asking, "Where are the monsters?" Li Shenyuan looked a little solemn and said, "Either it is like a nightmare that cannot be caught, or the existence in the mountain is not a monster at all, so the words The method failed to bring us directly to it, but since it is effective, it must have something to do with the monster."
"Fallen gods? Divine beasts?" After thinking about it, there are very few things that can be called monsters without being considered monsters, or even have a hint of monster aura. The most common ones are these two.
Jiang Wang boldly guessed: "The monster in the mountain is not the so-called god worshiped in the town, right?" Li Shenyuan said: "We will know it when we find it, and the words and deeds will not bring us directly to it. It must be nearby." Jiang Wang smiled and waved, "Then I'll wait for you here." Li Shenyuan didn't say anything, after all, Jiang Wang was so vain that he couldn't point him out.
She just smiled and warned: "If the situation changes, it means that I need you at any time, so you have to be prepared." After saying that, she flew away, leaving Jiang Wang with a frozen smile.
He silently took out a nectar talisman, his face full of determination. In the ancestral temple in the small town, Su Changluo looked at the old man in charge of the memorial ceremony in front of him and asked curiously: "Grandpa, what do you want from me?" The old man in charge of the memorial ceremony said with a smile: "Although it will take a while before the memorial ceremony. At the ancestral temple, there are a lot of outsiders this year, so I want you to pay your respects in advance for fear of something unexpected happening." Su Changluo pointed at himself and said, "Am I the only one?" The old man in charge of the sacrifices shook his head and said, "Of course everyone wants to Worship, but I happen to have something to ask you." He motioned Su Changluo to kneel on the futon, and when the worship was over, he took Su Changluo's hand to the short table next to him and asked him to sit down. He walked around Su Changluo, sat opposite, silently made a pot of tea, and said, "Do you have guests at home?" Su Changluo still had doubts in his heart, but he still answered truthfully: "I met him by chance, so to speak. Interestingly, Mr. Jiang was staying under the eaves of a roadside shop and was covered in snow. I helped him remove the snow and then chatted for a few words. Although I am also good-looking, I have to admit that he is better-looking than me. This is ...How do you say that? Anyway, I finally invited him to stay at my house temporarily." Su Changluo scratched his head with a smile on his face.
The old man in charge of the sacrifice said with a smile: "Since he is so good-looking, I guess he is not an ordinary person." Su Changluo said: "That's natural, I..." As soon as the words left his mouth, he suddenly realized something. In the past, the priest in charge The old man was very opposed to young people from small towns having contact with monks. If Jiang Wang's identity was revealed, the old man would be afraid of getting angry, so he stopped talking.
The old man in charge of the ceremony said directly: "He is a monk." Su Changluo said in surprise: "How do you know?" The old man in charge of the ceremony said with a smile: "There is nothing in this town that I don't know about." Su Changluo looked strange , laughed twice.
The old man in charge of the ceremony looked at him seriously and said: "So I also know about your affairs. I won't talk about the past affairs, but from today on, you stay in the town and don't go anywhere." Su Changluo's face froze slightly. , looking at the indifferent old grandfather, he felt a trace of fear in his heart.
He hurriedly lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "What happened?" The old man in charge said: "The origin of that guest in your house is unknown and his identity is special. It is best to stay away from him, but I am worried that if he comes to the small town, there will be others Purpose, Shi Sui was played by him, I have carefully considered the cause and effect. He may not have come here for you, but he must have noticed you."
"Uncle Shi?" Su Changluo was slightly surprised. The elder who was the best to him besides his grandpa, although his name was very strange and seemed to be taking advantage of him, he was troubled. How could Uncle Shi be with Jiang? Have you had any contact, sir?
"He is very nice. He speaks slowly and calmly. Although he looks a little lazy, there is no other problem. Grandpa, have you misunderstood something? And there is nothing special about me. Even in a small town, who would do it specifically for me? Am I here?" The old man in charge said: "You are very special. You know this best, but what I want to say is that you are more special than you realize." Su Changluo didn't understand.
The old man in charge handed him a cup of tea and said: "You have many questions, or the young people in the town all have the same questions. It's just that it's not time to answer your questions. The situation in the town this year is also very special. Especially the appearance of that guest in your house makes me always uneasy and I feel that something bad is going to happen." Su Changluo was silent for a moment and said seriously: "Why does grandpa keep away from monks? There are obviously monsters in the mountains. We have had many opportunities to solve our biggest problems, but you have always turned them away. I even suspect that the situation in the town has never really spread." The old man in charge of the ceremony took a sip of tea and said: "Moving before the cold snow The people in Li Town are indeed silent about this matter, but in these years, it is inevitable that some people will be able to walk out safely, so why is there still no one from the outside world taking action against the monsters in the mountains?"
"In the past, when it snowed every year, one or two caravans would occasionally come, or even no caravans, or they would not stop, but the result was the same. But this year, many caravans came, and most of them had some purpose. I It's strange, I've eliminated all possibilities, why did they come?" Su Changluo looked at the old man in charge of the ceremony blankly, and was shocked and trembling with fear at the question revealed in his words.
