After Yan Ting said some nonsense, Zhan Meiling became even more angry. She gritted her teeth and said, "You ghost girl has such a sharp mouth. Do you think I won't dare to teach you a lesson?"
Yan Ting made a face and said, "Come here then. Xiaomu alone can send you away. Are there so many of us still afraid of you?"
Kong Fang saw that the two of them resorted to fists and kicks when they had a disagreement, so he quickly smoothed things over and said: "Forget it, little sister, since it belongs to Zhan Nuxia, then the original thing should be returned to Zhan Nuxia. Don't get hurt by things that are just outside your body." So peaceful."
Yan Ting curled her lips and said disapprovingly: "That's not what you are saying. At any rate, this colorful and exquisite bag is invulnerable to water and fire. A Heng wrapped it just right to save people. But when I gave it back to my aunt, it only caught poisonous insects and harmed people. Xiao Kong, you Is it better to save people or harm them?"
Kong Fang shook his head and said: "Little sister, don't talk nonsense. Zhan Nuxia has a reputation as a chivalrous person. She is ruthless in punishing rape and eradicating evil. How can she harm people without any reason?"
Yan Ting said confidently: "Really? But not long ago, she released poisonous insects to bite me. So according to Xiao Kong, I am also an evil person?"
Kong Fang was stunned and blurted out, "Are you serious? Why is this?"
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Zhan Meiling. Zhan Meiling was greatly embarrassed and stammered: "Don't get me wrong, they were the ones who deliberately protected...that..."
Just when she was about to say the word "monster", her heart suddenly froze and she was silent for a moment.
Yan Ting looked at Zhan Meiling and said, "Are you saying that we are protecting 'monsters'? I only know that monsters are cold-blooded and ruthless beasts that eat people and drink blood. Have you ever seen a monster that can sacrifice its life for justice?"
Her words were so resounding and loud that everyone couldn't help but nod secretly. Zhan Meiling was in a state of embarrassment when she suddenly heard someone say with emotion: "What the little heroine said is true. Everyone can find monsters and kill them. We must not take it lightly."
As he spoke, three people were seen approaching slowly. The first one was Li Chengtai, followed by Jiuchilao and Ji Mengsou.
Everyone quickly stood up to salute, and Li Chengtai, who had just spoken, solemnly clasped his fists and said, "Thanks to the generous help of all the knights this time, I would like to thank all the knights on behalf of the whole village."
After he said this, he bowed his head to the bottom. Jiuchi Lao and Ji Mengsou also did the same. How could everyone dare to accept it and hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
Kong Fang took Li Chengtai's arm and said sincerely: "Elder, please don't do this. Saving people from water and fire is our branch's responsibility, but I don't know if the elder of Konoha is still okay?"
Li Chengtai nodded slightly and said: "Don't worry, knights. Lord Konoha has woken up, but he is currently too tired and sick to come to see you. However, he specially asked us to express our gratitude to all the knights. If it were not for the help of the knights, the three people in this village would Although I am unlucky, there are definitely more than a dozen people who died."
Everyone heard that there were still more than a dozen people who had suffered misfortune, and everyone felt sad. Kong Fang calmed down, cupped his hands in greeting and said: "Manpower is sometimes poor, and we can only do our best. In addition, the female knight in white from before was actually also Our companions, would you like to ask some of the elders if they know where she is now?"
Ji Mengsou took over the conversation and said: "This is why we are here. Those two knights descended from the sky and have done a great favor to this village. Their sacrifice of life and death really moved me. It's just that they are exerting too much energy to walk now." No, he is resting in the holy temple in the village and asked me to invite you all to meet him."
When everyone heard that Zhu Fengyin and Yu Bingru were fine, their worries were finally relieved, and they happily followed Li Chengtai and others to the village.
It was nearly midnight, and although the fire had been extinguished, the air was still hot and dry, and everything you could see was a mess, which was really frightening.
Kong Fang had doubts in his heart and asked Li Chengtai: "Elders, do you know where the fire started, why it swept through the mountains and forests in an instant, and then came with the wind and swallowed up your village in one fell swoop?"
Li Chengtai sighed softly: "It's a blessing, not a disaster. It's a disaster that cannot be avoided. It is always the disaster caused by the evil obstacles in the first place."
Everyone was surprised when they heard this and secretly thought that this didn't sound right. As expected, Li Chengtai sighed again and said, "Mr. Chi, it's up to you to speak."
Elder Jiuchi nodded and said, "Fellow knights, please take a look. The mountain behind our village is called Yanshan Mountain. There is an abandoned temple on the top of the mountain called Huangjue Temple."
Mu Yun said, "Yes, there is this temple."
The old man Jiuchi said: "This Huangjue Temple is called a temple, but it is actually an evil place. It was built by the Yehuo Demon Sect in Shuofang in the past and was used as a stronghold to enslave our Chinese people."
Everyone was shocked immediately and looked at each other in silence. Old Jiuqi paused for a moment, then continued: "Eighty years ago, all kinds of evil creatures came from the west and colluded with the Yehuo Demon Cult in Shuofang. They slaughtered our people for food. The entire land of China was devastated by war, and this Huangjue Temple is It was built at that time.”
As he said this, he suddenly started coughing violently, and his body trembled. It seemed that he was old and weak after all, and could not last long among the embers of the fire.
Li Chengtai quickly patted Mr. Jiuchi on the back, and at the same time continued to explain with his eyes.
Ji Mengsou was the youngest among the three elders, and his body was much stronger, so he immediately said: "Fortunately, there was a god named Master Li who resisted the demons at that time, led the holy spring to break the demon sect's ground, and destroyed this evil temple in one fell swoop. Since then, the top of the mountain has become a forbidden place, and the villagers never approach that evil place."
Everyone was silent after listening, but Mu Yun and Yan Ting were secretly shocked when they heard Ji Mengsou cough again: "This evil temple has been abandoned for a long time, but unexpectedly, strange phenomena have occurred in the past three days. Villagers often see flashes of fire on the top of the mountain, which may be a sign of the resurgence of evil forces."
"So tonight, the three old men and Chengtai agreed to discuss countermeasures in the temple. Who would have thought that before Chengtai arrived, the fire of karma would have been ignited all over the mountains and plains. Alas... It seems that the evil is coming again and the doom is inevitable. .”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chengtai sighed: "This village is protected by a holy spring, and it would not be a disaster if someone wanders into the water. But this time the karmic fire fell from the sky, it really caught people off guard, so that they focused on one thing instead of the other, causing so many casualties."
Everyone listened to what they said and realized that the mountain fire was actually caused by the long-extinct Karma Fire Demon Sect. But the so-called "evil temple fire" is actually just a bonfire built by Mu Yun and others at night, and has nothing to do with the resurgence of evil forces. Their thoughts are really unfounded.
Li Chengtai saw the strange expressions on everyone's faces and couldn't help but said calmly: "Do the knights have some other opinions? I'm all ears."
Kong Fang hesitated for a moment, then coughed lightly and said, "There is indeed something fishy about this matter. The elders need to pay attention to it in the future. If it is really evil, we will not be lenient."
What he said was serious, and Li Chengtai also believed it. After a while, everyone came to the ground, but saw that the ditch protecting the temple was still the same, but the pontoon bridge had been rebuilt.
In front of the temple door, there are two inscriptions on the left: "The sky hangs over the sun and the moon, the dragon's face is angry", and on the right: "The earth carries the mountains and rivers, the dragon travels". The three big characters in the center are exactly "Confucius Temple".
