Chen Si was holding the fairy rope with one hand while exploring the way ahead, while Peng Qian was being held behind him with tears in her eyes and a look of humiliation on her face.
Chen Si secretly lamented that he was lucky enough to meet Peng Qian, a little girl.
Among the Three Immortals Temple, she has the shortest cultivation time and the lowest Taoist practice. If it were any other Taoist priest, he would not be sure of succeeding.
I just don’t know what the status of this little junior sister is in the audience, and whether using her as a hostage is considered a piece of capital.
Little did Peng Qian know that she had been valued by Chen Si as a commodity. She had never experienced such humiliation since she was a child, and she had already killed this white-eyed wolf in her heart more than ten thousand times.
The deeper you go, the more mucus becomes on the walls of the cave, and the number of worms clinging to the walls gradually increases.
Although the Yin Yin Illustrated Book said that this object was harmless, Chen Si still felt something was wrong.
He untied the immortal rope from Peng Qian's mouth and asked, "What is the origin of these Yinworms? Why are there so many of them?"
Peng Qian glanced disdainfully, held her head high, and refused to answer.
Chen Si snorted coldly and immediately slashed with his sword. The sword was so powerful that it was about to cut off Peng Qian's head, but it stopped at her neck.
A long and thin blood mark appeared on her fair neck, and bright red blood overflowed.
In just a short moment, Peng Qian broke out in a large amount of cold sweat. She clearly felt the murderous intent just now. Chen Sizhen was really planning to kill herself!
Chen Si said coldly: "You are different from other Taoist priests. You are not a bad person. But Miss Peng, you have to understand that the three of us are running for our lives. If we are caught up, we will be killed. People can do anything to survive. , so you have to know your position.
You are a prisoner and we are enemies. If you are of no use to me, I will kill you. Do you understand? "
After all, Peng Qian was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. How could she withstand such threats? She nodded her head and said, "I'll say it, I'll say it."
Li Chen next to him was also secretly shocked.
The Chen Si just now was so strange that it made him feel scared.
He simply couldn't compare the Chen Si in front of him with the young man who had just joined the company a few months ago.
Chen Si didn't care about the reactions of others, he immediately picked up a bug with his sword and put it in front of Peng Qian, saying: "Explain explain."
Peng Qian said with a pale face: "Actually, I have only been here for more than three years, and I don't know very well... I only know that the Yinworm seems to only exist in the cave of Sanxian Temple, and can't be found outside at all. They usually It grows by sucking acid from the wall, so where there is more acid, there are more bugs.
Moreover, these bugs like to gather in groups. Once they are allowed to gather and form, they will become a completely different kind of creature, which we call insect remains. "
Chen Si narrowed his eyes, "I've seen these in the vulva illustrated book, tell me something I don't know."
But Peng Qian hesitated for a long time and didn't want to say anything anymore.
Chen Si stared, and she suddenly became frightened, and said quickly: "I heard that Yinworms are used to tame spiritual beasts in the Beast Control Palace in our temple. I don't know if it is true or not. I guess these insects taste delicious. , maybe it was fed to spiritual beasts as bait."
Chen Si stared at Peng Qian for a while, confirming that there was nothing to hide, and then let her go.
To prevent her from calling for help, her mouth was gagged again.
However, Peng Qian's words still did not dispel his doubts.
He always felt that the so-called insect remnant looked strangely familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
After escaping for a day in a hurry, although Chen Si had a special constitution and did not feel tired, Li Chen and Hao Yueyue were already very tired.
Especially Hao Yueyue, she was still young, her strength was exhausted from walking such a long way, and she was limping. She was just sensible and didn't want to cause trouble to Chen Si and the others, so she kept silent.
"Get some rest. You can't get out of the cave without sleeping."
After hearing this, Li Chen felt relieved, threw away his backpack, and collapsed to the ground.
Chen Si distributed food to the three of them. Peng Qian was a prisoner, so naturally she had no share.
Moreover, she is a cultivator, and she will not starve to death even if she does not eat for two or three days.
Chen Si ate a little as usual and gave the rest to Hao Yueyue.
After receiving it, she ate it happily, as if a few biscuits were enough to satisfy her and forget all the pain and anxiety.
In the dead of night, everyone else was already asleep. Only Chen Si was meditating, concentrating on the movement of the heavens.
He found that the content of earth energy here was astonishingly high, and the speed of the movement of the sky was more than ten times faster than before! I don’t know what treasures are hidden underground. No wonder the Three Immortals Temple wants to settle in this barren place.
While Chen Si was concentrating on practicing, Hao Yueyue, who was sleeping, got up secretly and tiptoed close to Peng Qian, who was tied up tightly.
Chen Si frowned slightly, suddenly became suspicious, and couldn't help but secretly pay attention.
Hao Yueyue quietly took out a biscuit from her arms, handed it to Peng Qian's mouth with her little hand, and said softly: "Sister Qian, you eat it."
Chen Si felt relieved and continued to meditate pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Peng Qian curled her lips in disdain at first.
But then he was overcome by the smell and hunger, and ate all the cookies in two or three mouthfuls.
"Would you like some water?" Hao Yueyue asked with a wink.
"Yeah." Peng Qian nodded sheepishly.
After finishing eating, she looked at Yueyue with a trace of love in her eyes.
After all, she is a neighbor's child. She has watched her grow up and regarded her as half of her sister. But now she has become a traitor to Sanxian Temple. She doesn't know how to treat Yueyue.
She gritted her teeth and persuaded: "Come back with me, Yueyue, they have been targeted by the senior brothers. There will be no good consequences for following these two villains. I will go and plead with the master, he will not care about this. You can still go back and enjoy the blessings, and the tablets can still be returned to the ancestral hall after your death.”
But Yueyue shook her head in fear, "Sister Qian, why do you want me to go back and die? I want to follow them and live."
Peng Qian sighed and said: "But Master has already calculated your fate, why do you have to struggle anymore? I am doing it for your own good, Yueyue."
After hearing the fortune-telling from the old god, Yueyue lowered her head in frustration, but then raised her head again, with a trace of anger flashing in her innocent eyes.
"But why can he tell my fate! I am Hao Yueyue, my fate is not decided by him!
You all say that people who are about to die must enter the temple as human sacrifices and be sacrificed to the old gods. I don’t believe it! Sister Qian, they are all living people, Grandpa Wang who grows peanuts in the village, Grandpa Gao whose grandson is just one month old, and Grandma Liu who loves to wear colorful clothes. They are not human sacrifices! They can live a long life, and I can live to grow up, so why should he decide our death date!
I want to escape and live a good life to show everyone that Yueyue can grow into a beautiful girl!
I want to live, Big Brother said... There are still people in this world who want to live every month..."
She stared at Peng Qian stubbornly, with tears in her eyes, but she still held back the tears.
Peng Qian was stunned, her mouth opened and closed, unable to speak.
