The sound of pattering rain could be heard outside, as well as the faint neighing of horses.
Three people walked into the deserted temple.
The temple is not big. Except for the three stone statues, the more spacious east side is already occupied by Liu Sichen and four others.
Only the dilapidated stone statue seems to be able to squeeze in.
Among these three people, one was tall and had a short sword stuck at his waist.
One person was thin and looked like he had kidney deficiency. He was holding a purple-skinned gourd.
The last person who came in was a man wearing a bamboo hat and a scar on his face. He had an old rattle tied around his waist. His left arm had an empty sleeve and he was missing an arm. He looked quite miserable.
Since neither party knew each other, no one among the four people in the temple spoke to each other after entering.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
But it is different from the people in the temple.
The visitor had a different feeling.
Originally, I had been running for my life in terror all night, with the wind and rain coming and going. This night was extremely unlucky.
Nowadays, Hungry can only settle down in a dilapidated temple.
It can be said that it is frustrating.
However, as soon as the three of them stepped in.
What did you see?
Although there are four people sitting here.
But that flash of white and clear blue captured everyone's attention with just one glance, making it impossible to take their eyes away.
It was like a depressing rainy day, when suddenly the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, revealing a bright clear sky, as blue as the sky and as white as the clouds.
The haze is gone and you are completely refreshed.
All I want to do is take a deep breath.
How could it be so beautiful!
Liu Sichen and others were observing them, while they looked at the people in the temple blankly.
For a while, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was a bit deadlocked.
Dongfang Qingfeng had no expression on his face and was leaning against the wall. Liu Sichen had a sword at his feet.
Yuan Ying stared at them and held an arm-thick piece of firewood in her hand.
Only Que Qingyue was sitting there, holding a teacup in her hand and taking a sip of tea as if nothing had happened.
After drinking, he glanced at them casually through the soft hair on his forehead.
When I saw the scarred man wearing a hat.
Her hand holding the cup of tea paused slightly.
This guy is pretty good.
Among ordinary people, there are very few people with more than 3,000 merit points. The first two people only have 500 merit points, they are just ordinary people.
On the contrary, the man who looked the most ferocious, with scars on his face and missing an arm, actually had 2,900 merit points.
This is by no means a small number among ordinary people.
And it seems that, with his desolate appearance, it is not like he accumulated income in his previous life, but rather he accumulated it the day after tomorrow.
This is rare. An ordinary person can accumulate so much merit without knowing anything about it. He is an amazing person.
Even if he is dishonorable and disabled now.
Que Qingyue gave him a high look instead.
But it was just one more look, and she looked away.
It seems that these three people are not horse thieves and bandits, so there is nothing to worry about.
But these three people looked straight at it.
Especially when she looked over lazily just now.
The burly man met her gaze and was about to walk toward the stone statue, but he almost stumbled because he didn't look at the ground. Fortunately, he was steady and didn't make a big fool of himself.
Because of this, I happened to see that clear blue face.
It looks delicate and hazy when viewed from the side, and stunningly broken when viewed from the front. Although the forehead is injured, under the firelight, it adds a sense of fragility as if the three parts were broken apart.
How could there be such a beautiful person in the world?
Especially when she lowered her head and drank tea as if nothing had happened, she didn't look at them at all.
More charming.
"Ahem!" Liu Sichen coughed immediately.
He spoke first.
"Three brothers, where did you come from?"
He couldn't stand being stared at by three men.
The man who looked like he had a weak kidney and was holding a gourd turned around and said, "Oh, little brother, we came from the Fairy Temple. I don't know how many of you there are. Where are you from?"
Why are you hiding with your woman in this ruined temple in the middle of the night in the wilderness?
In the middle of the night, under the firelight, the woman was so beautiful that it seemed unreal. Although she didn't look evil, she looked fresh and refreshing, and she still had a hint of righteousness. But to be honest, he was afraid. He had a weak kidney and was righteous. While I was drinking some tiger bone wine, I felt really uneasy, fearing that I might encounter something evil again.
I have just left the wolf den, how can I enter the snake den again?
"Fairy Temple?" What a coincidence? Liu Sichen secretly thought.
"Eh? You four look familiar to me." The burly man came back to his senses and saw that the more people he saw, the more familiar they looked.
Liu Sichen looked behind him, His Highness, who did not stop him.
Then he glanced at the daughter of the Que family across the way. She was drinking tea and didn't speak.
So I thought for a while and then said to a few people: "To be honest, a few of us also came from the Fairy Temple. We must all be members of the Fish and Dragon Caravan, right?"
"Ah! I said you looked familiar, but you changed your clothes! I didn't recognize it. It turns out that everyone is from the Fish and Dragon Caravan!"
"It turns out he's someone I know."
For a time, the tense atmosphere in the temple relaxed a lot.
"After the incident at the Fairy Temple, we ran all the way and came here. The surrounding area was deserted, so we came in to avoid the rain."
Liu Sichen said: "You're welcome, we just came a little early. There was originally some firewood in the temple, which was prepared by people who passed by and rested before. It was beside the stone statue."
It is impossible to invite people over to warm themselves over the fire.
Several people quickly thanked him.
Only then did Yuan Ying loosen her hand holding the stick.
Her palms were a little sweaty.
At this time, she had to say that her ancestors were really attractive.
Sometimes she really felt powerless by herself.
After all, tigers are also afraid of wolves.
"Hey brother, there is a evil spirit in the Fairy Temple. What happened to your caravan?"
Liu Sichen asked aloud. After all, he still had a few martial arts friends inside and didn't want anything to happen to them.
The burly man said: "We were lucky this time. We met a master, and saw him kill the evil soul with a dragon's roar. At that time, like lightning, a light lit up in the sky... Only those of us escaped with our lives. The caravan should be fine." , but at that time everyone ran away, ran away, and dispersed, and the three of us got lost here.
It seems that I am destined to be with you all, haha. "
The thin man with a weak kidney next to him responded: "That's right, that's right."
Liu Sichen looked at His Highness. Dongfang Qingfeng was leaning against the wall with his eyes half closed, as if he was resting.
"That's good. I finally had no danger tonight and survived the catastrophe. You will definitely be in good health in the future." Liu Sichen handed over to the others.
"Brother Liu is right. If we survive the catastrophe, we will be lucky in the future."
So both sides exchanged polite greetings again.
"Ask them if they know the way." Dongfang Qingfeng lowered his voice.
None of them are locals and are not familiar with the road conditions here. Even if there is a map, the map indicates the core area. There is not even a village around this desolate place. If you are not familiar with the road, it is very difficult to find it. Easy to get lost.
After all, if you accidentally stray into the forest, swamp, or wetland, you will be in trouble.
After hearing this, Liu Sichen nodded and asked several people, "Three brothers, do you know where our ancient temple is on the map? How to get to Zuilong Tan?"
"Drunken Dragon Stall?" The thin man with weak kidneys said, "We are going there too, but we have to pass through Sifang Town to get there. As for where this place is, you have to ask Brother Yang Qing. Brother Yang Qing is familiar with this place. .”
As he said that, he looked at the scarred man who had not spoken since he sat down, "Brother Zhang, wake up, don't sleep, I want to ask you a question, where are you?"
"Oh, this is the former Kutao Temple. It was full of ascetic monks. Now the temple is deserted. If you can trust me, I will show you the way tomorrow. By going around the mountain behind the temple, you can reach Sifang Town." The scarred man still wore the hat, lowered his head and said in a mute voice.
"Well, everyone, let's go together tomorrow, and we can take care of each other on the way." The burly man invited.
Liu Sichen chuckled, "It's easy to talk about."
He turned around and said, "Your Highness, do you want to go with them tomorrow?"
Dongfang Qingfeng opened his eyes and glanced at the delicate ancestor of the Que family beside the fire to see what she said.
It's just that Que Qingyue didn't know when she was sitting there with her clothes neatly folded, her forehead supported by her hand, and she fell asleep.
When Liu Sichen saw His Highness leaning against the wall, he hummed.
He turned around and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you three."
"polite."
While the three of them were warming their wet clothes by the fire, they quietly looked over there and chatted in low voices.
"These people look extraordinary. Could they be children of aristocratic families? Some of them are carrying... a knife?"
"It can't be him, right? The one who killed the resentful evil soul with one sword..."
"I don't know, but I looked at the Tianshi card on that woman's waist. She is from Quemen."
"Quemen Celestial Master? Why are you here?"
"Hey, she looks really pretty."
"Shh, don't talk nonsense. It's really dangerous to escape from death this time..."
At this time, the scarred man finally revealed his eyes from under the bamboo hat. He looked at the four people across from him, and his eyes fell on one of them. There was a Celestial Master wooden sign hanging on the clear blue waist. It did have the word "que" on it.
…
It rained coldly all night yesterday. Although the rain stopped in the morning, it was still wet and foggy.
There was no fire in the fire in the temple, only wisps of smoke drifting upward, leaving embers.
After struggling for most of the night, several people were so sleepy that they fell asleep in the middle of the night.
Lying or sitting, leaning or lying down, they staggered around until daybreak.
The horses outside the temple were eating a clump of fresh grass with water drops under the tree.
Chewing and moving in the mouth.
Someone turned over and kicked something, making a noise, and everyone woke up one after another.
Que Qingyue had an uncomfortable sleep in the middle of the night. When she woke up, she used to reach out and touch her forehead.
When Yuan Ying saw it, she immediately reminded: "Hey, don't touch it!"
"Huh? Ancestor, your injury is healed!" The bruise that looked shocking yesterday has dissipated today, leaving only a little red mark. If it was covered by hair, it would not be visible.
"This medicine is really useful!" She held the jasper bottle, but Dongfang Qingfeng didn't ask for it back and just let them hold it.
Que Qingyue looked around and saw that the people in the temple had gone out at some point. Yuan Ying also jumped up from the ground, then stretched out her hand and asked her ancestor to get up with her strength.
There is nothing to eat in the mountains.
Everyone hurriedly stuffed their stomachs with some steamed buns and snacks.
Wait until departure time.
Que Qingyue stared at the carriage at the door. She put her hands into her sleeves and stopped, not wanting to sit. It easily reminded her of her experience on the journey yesterday...
Like a fish in a can.
Liu Sichen had a good eye and saw it, so he stepped forward and said, "Miss Que, can you ride a horse?"
After hearing this, Que Qingyue immediately turned around to face Liu Sichen and looked at him: "Of course I will."
In her free time in Rakshasa City, horseback riding is her only outdoor pastime.
"My horse is quite obedient. Do you want to try it? I'll drive the carriage."
Que Qingyue looked at the horse in front of her.
Although it is hard to ride a horse, thinking about Yuan Ying's driving skills...
It’s not that I can’t bear it.
She walked over and looked at the horse. She had a small face and did not look tall. In fact, she opened her sleeves more, reached out to grab the reins and a tuft of horse hair, stepped on the stirrup with her left foot, and pushed hard. Jumping onto the horse's back, his movements were light and neat.
When she sat upright on the horse and looked down, her red phoenix eyes, narrow and beautiful in shape, looked down at Liu Sichen with narrowed eyes. Liu Sichen could not describe the charming feeling.
Just the feeling of heartbeat.
The man with a weak kidney was standing in front of the ruined temple and suddenly shouted into the mountains and fields: "Haha, a big dream, several lives and deaths, riding a horse and singing, how many years there are in life! Brother Yang Qing, let's go."
After saying that, he got on his horse, followed the scar-faced man, and galloped away.
Dongfang Qingfeng was walking in front of one person and one horse. On the way, he turned back and looked behind him.
Seeing the daughter of the Que family holding the reins, her blue and white clothes are fluttering in the wind, and the blue hair ribbon flowing behind her can also be seen in the painting. There is no trace of embarrassment, and the style is extremely elegant.
He snorted softly and turned around.
The group of people quickly left this wilderness.
