Tsk, tsk, tsk, the enemy is really knocking on the door. "
Yan? Opened the door of another small room, his tone was leisurely. This place was quite far away from the temple, and he was not afraid of any partition walls with ears. As soon as he opened the door, he announced to the people in the room in a gloating tone. There was no response. He smiled leisurely and strengthened his tone: "The people who burned your spider nest and repaired you are here."
The man still ignored him, or rather, he didn't even move his eyes. Yan? was very happy with it and continued:
"I remember clearly the way you ran for your life. You were very elegant and free. You are worthy of being a great demon. It's a good thing you ran fast. Otherwise, you would have caught up with me on the road. I might not have been able to survive." Find here. So, they couldn't have come here just because they were chasing you. Could it be that you lured them here?"
He was chattering non-stop when suddenly there was a loud noise of tables and chairs overturning. In the flash of lightning, Luwu grabbed his neck and pinned him to the ground. He watched coldly as the snake demon struggled and twisted. The attack came suddenly, and Yan Yan was strangled so hard that his pupils bulged. He opened his mouth wide, hissing sounds leaked from his throat, and even the tongue in his mouth turned into a snake letter. Gradually, some outlines of snake scales appeared on his face, his skin turned blue, and there was a sound in his throat like he was about to expire, as if he was about to be pinched out of his original form by the force. Only then did Luowu let go, His eyes still looked like he wanted to kill someone.
"Be careful what you say. Next time, I can't guarantee that your head with the chattering mouth will still be on your neck."
Yan? He scratched his throat and coughed for a long time before he came back to his senses. When he spoke again, there was still no trace of fear at all. It could be said that he was hitting the snake with the stick.
"Hey, hey, you're just kidding, why are you so angry? Phew..."
Lu Wu glanced coldly and sat back on the chair.
"Do you think I'm willing to give up like this?"
Of course he was not referring to the snake demon. Yan? Crossed his legs at his feet, straightened his upper body and joked: "Oh, you have to hold a grudge. Don't leave the grudge overnight, don't let it get stale. Go and kill them all while they are asleep tonight. Don't be afraid, the temple is here I'll cover for you."
"It's not that simple." He didn't know whether this snake spirit was more of a joke or more of a murderer. He first gave him a look and told him not to act rashly. "They have brought two gods together. There are many accidents in this, but they are bound to do it." Not an easy person to deal with.”
"They also kidnapped all the gods' treasures. Those things are all on them, so it's really a bit tricky." Yan? smiled slightly.
"That's not necessarily the case."
Yan? Suddenly became energetic. With quick eyes and quick hands, he wanted to catch the flash of blue light that passed before his eyes. However, Luwu had already stopped his hand and took Lan Po back to his body again.
"At least this one is gone."
"Let me tell you...no wonder there's something different about you. I thought you were having fun somewhere."
Yan? Narrowed his eyes and licked his lips, like a snake testing its prey. Luwu didn't want to dwell on this topic. He changed his subject:
"I'm going to rest here for a while. It's not the problem of my place - the Bird God's territory is completely destroyed. Without a god who is above ten thousand people, no matter how good the bargaining chip is, there is nowhere to cash it in."
Yan? He smacked his lips and said, "The territory is well managed, so you just give up?"
"Do you want me to follow in the footsteps of the Bird God?"
"Then stay." Yan? said casually, glancing away, "it's pretty good here - it's also very interesting."
Lu Wu simply ignored him.
"I will find another way out. When the time comes, you come with me."
Yan? Didn't expect this. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment and spoke in a longer voice.
"With...huh? It's not good to join a new family and take one with you. I'm not ready yet."
"Stop talking nonsense and follow me."
Lu Wu now listened to his words, but his attitude was unquestionable. Yan? shrugged and said nonchalantly:
"Okay, okay, it's all up to you."
Luwu stopped talking. He stood up on his own and turned around to rest. Yan? said quietly behind him:
"Priest Chu didn't say you were here. If you really don't want to kill me and start other troubles, you'd better change the time and place."
Min Wutou left without looking back.
"I didn't intend to argue with them here."
Bai Ya has been wandering outside for many years. It stands to reason that he has already developed the ability to sleep on the bed. This night was a little different. Maybe it was the unique climate in the center of the swamp. He felt that the air around him was extremely humid and stuffy, and it felt like a stone was pressing on his chest. He was very tired and couldn't rest on his head, so he turned over anxiously. In the dim light, he saw another bunk on the bed, and Liu Shenghan's eyes also reflected a glimmer of light.
"Why are you still awake?"
"Can't sleep." She sighed faintly, "I feel...I heard something special. I tried hard to hear it but couldn't hear it clearly. I tried not to care, but it lingered."
"Ringing in the ears, right? Well, I have to sleep." Bai Ya didn't know whether he was saying to her or to himself, "We have to get up early tomorrow. This temple is going to send someone to take us to the border. If we can't get up, we'll miss it. It's a big joke, but we I don't really want to be forgotten here with those people. If I go on my own, there's no guarantee that something unexpected will happen. I'll light my candle, it will help me sleep faster."
"I'll do it. It'll be more useful to you, and I think you'll fall asleep faster. If I'm sleepy, I'll blow it out for you."
She was still uneasy. The moment he lit the incense candle, the candle flame that suddenly illuminated the darkness made Liu Shenghan feel a strange throbbing, as if his heart was squirming uneasily. She felt like an animal before a natural disaster. She didn't know where the danger would come from or how it would come, but she could definitely feel the undercurrent surging in the dark.
She couldn't just lie back, so she let her intuition guide her and walked out of the room. Walking through the cold dirt road, the chirping of insects lingered in my ears. After walking in the night for a long time, she found that the road was somewhat familiar. It's the way to the temple.
Liu Shenghan stopped in front of the temple, frowning and listening, trying to identify the buzzing in his ears. Instead of her ears, she felt a strange resonance in her internal organs, which she could not describe or distinguish. Suddenly, the tip of her ear felt itchy.
A faint ringing sound passed through my ears.
Not knowing what it was, she instinctively grabbed it and chased it into the temple. Most of the candles have been extinguished, and the stone corridor is cold and gloomy. The ringing sound didn't disappear, but she almost felt like she was getting used to it, and her ears were about to be protected from the noise. We must move faster. She walked half-way in the dark, trying to find some clues.
Uneasiness, sticky, heavy uneasiness clinging to her limbs, flowing slowly, ice cold, and very uncomfortable. Liu Shenghan felt that kind of subtle fear - yes, panic. It was difficult for her to understand why she, who had always been calm, would become like this. This must be some kind of signal, but she had no way of knowing or deciphering it. The thin and light ringing sounded like some kind of wail, and her heart could resonate with it. Her heartbeat was too fast and noisy, and her blood was almost boiling, which made the draft even more biting.
In the dark night, Liu Shenghan felt that all his senses were infinitely amplified. What is she afraid of? She even expected someone to answer this stupid question.
"...Yes...well, that's right."
I don't know how deep I groped, but I heard faint voices coming from a side room not far away. Liu Shenghan raised his eyebrows, and his heart almost skipped a beat. The voice was vague, but it was enough for her to recognize that it was the great priest who entertained them that night, Chu Tianhe.
Hasn't he rested yet? What are you doing in this huge temple in the middle of the night? Curiosity is a human instinct, and Liu Shenghan does not leave himself out. She approached quietly and heard the other party sometimes being silent and sometimes responding briefly:
"That's it... If you think so, I have no objection... Right? That's it? Just deal with it like this, and whether it will happen in the future... Well, okay. It's all up to you."
Liu Shenghan was almost touching the door when his voice stopped. She paused, and before she could decide whether to get closer, go deeper, or leave, the door rang softly.
Chu Tianhe walked out. He was still holding the magic staff from the night and was straightening his clothes. When he raised his head, he met Liu Shenghan face to face. Both of them were caught off guard, and the corridor was filled with awkward silence.
"...Miss Liu, haven't you rested yet? Are you not used to the rattan bed here? You guys should be sleeping on something a little harder. I wonder if you'll get back pain. Sorry, I didn't think about it."
"No, it doesn't matter, you are serious. I have some insomnia, maybe I really want to choose a bed...but it doesn't matter. I just want to walk around casually, but I am not familiar with the road. I only recognize this temple." Liu Shenghan replied lightly. , "But you didn't come home so late and were still busy in the temple. You are really responsible."
"This temple is my place of residence, like a home." Chu Tianhe said, "As the head of a priest, I have to preside over the entire temple. We often need to make arrangements for the sacrifices of the python god. It’s not a coincidence that you met me at the temple after staying overnight.”
"Ah, I thought you were accepting Lord Python God's will."
Liu Shenghan probed like a smile but not a smile. She carefully observed Chu Tianhe's expression, eager to capture some subtle changes. But Chu Tianhe remained calm and did not show the slightest trace of panic or offended anger.
"Lord Python God is everywhere. I don't need to go somewhere specifically to find a shrine to chat."
His tone was not that serious, but had a hint of joking that matched Liu Shenghan's, which she couldn't tell clearly.
"makes sense."
"Yes. It's late at night. You have a schedule tomorrow, so go to bed early."
When he said this, he still had that stiff, mask-like smile on his face that was carefully carved. There was no flaw in it, but it made people feel very uncomfortable. Even so, Liu Shenghan didn't want to doubt him too much. Different places in Jiutian Kingdom have different rules. As an outsider staying overnight, it is really rude to interfere in other people's "household affairs" by receiving such a standard of hospitality.
"It should be so. I took a walk and I hope I can sleep well when I go back."
Chu Tianhe sent her out of the temple. Before leaving, Liu Shenghan quickly glanced inside the ajar door, but there was no one inside. She wasn't sure whether it was because the time was too short to see, or whether the light was too dark to see clearly. The only thing she was sure of was that the faint sound of conversation before was definitely not her auditory hallucination. As for the ringtone, it was also disrupted by this conversation and could no longer be heard.
The source of the uneasiness seems not to be here. But, judging from his tone, he must be talking to someone. On the way back to the house, Liu Shenghan was still thinking. But that person is gone, and I can only feel his breath...
She wanted to talk to Bai Ya about this, but when she opened the door, Bai Ya had closed his eyes under the candlelight, breathing evenly and long. So Liu Shenghan suppressed his doubts in his heart, blew out the candle, and lay back on the bed.
She was still thinking about the swamp, the temple, and the priest. Soon, the uneasiness still weighed heavily on her chest, making her breathing too heavy. And the night covered her eyes, slowly pulling her away from all this. The middle belt is far away.
