During the day, Xue Xingchi pestered Lingchan.
After he finished drinking the tea, he pestered Lingchan to continue making tea and asked Lingchan if he could make pastries. He wanted to eat sweets and snacks. Lingchan gave him the snacks she bought. He threw them aside in disgust and strongly demanded that Lingchan give them to him with her own hands. he does.
Lingchan had never been in the kitchen in her life, and with a prank mentality, she made a pot of dark dishes.
Xue Xingchi's tears and nose ran from being robbed, but he ate the whole pot and asked Lingchan when he could cook again.
[...Has he been poisoned by you? 】The system that prides itself on being well-informed can no longer stand it.
Lingchan touched her chin and said deeply: [This world is indeed extraordinary... This villain really has a serious brain disease. 】
At night, he stopped pretending and insisted on sleeping next to Lingchan.
"I'm just a weak prince! You have to protect me!"
Lingchan was very angry, "If you hadn't gone through so much trouble, would we have ended up sleeping in a wild temple?"
"Go cook!" She ordered Xue Xingchi unceremoniously.
Xue Xingchi actually went there, and the ingredients were a few pheasants that Lingchan caught casually.
With simple ingredients and extraordinary cooking skills, the pheasant was roasted in Xue Xingchi's hands until the skin was charred and the meat was tender, sizzling with oil, and sprinkled with spices and salt, making it fragrant and tender.
The system worried: [It won’t be a deprivation meal...]
[If you want to kill, just kill him. Don’t panic. 】
Sure enough, after Lingchan finished eating, Xue Xingchi took another chicken that he had prepared and asked Lingchan to help him spread the seasoning.
Lingchan agreed in a good mood and applied a thick layer of honey on it.
Xue Xingchi's eyes narrowed as he ate, and he said happily: "My cooking skills are really good..."
…
This place was close to Huachun City, and there were many villages around it, but Lingchan and Xue Xingchi were always worried that he would suddenly turn black and go crazy, so they had to sleep in this deserted temple.
Deeper and deeper, the evil wind howls, and a circle of flames burns in the deserted temple.
Lingchan was meditating, and Xue Xingchi huddled next to her, looking at her quietly.
Aqua blue shirt and skirt, long black hair, red lips, and a fair side face reflecting orange flames.
He took a deep breath.
Lingchan suddenly opened her eyes and said softly: "Something is coming."
In the wilderness, it is easiest to attract evil spirits.
The golden bodies of gods in the temple will give visitors some protection, but this one has been abandoned. The gods' golden bodies are covered with dull rust and have lost their power of protection.
The wind was strong, and the dead branches that had not sprouted new buds were swaying and dancing, and the shapeless black shadows were twisting and swaying.
Lingchan narrowed her eyes and tightened her grip on the sword in her hand.
She walked towards the door, Xue Xingchi hugged his knees and sat quietly.
The monster rushed towards him with twisted evil thoughts, and its dark body was half-dark, spreading across the faint light in front of the temple.
Ling Chan faced the light, unsheathed a little cold star in his hand, and with a flash of cold front, the long sword traced a trajectory like a crescent moon.
The bonfire swayed.
The shadows dispersed.
Lingchan sheathed her sword and wondered: "Why are there so many wandering monsters? Don't these things avoid people?"
Xue Xingchi looked at her blankly and said nothing.
Lingchan put her hand in front of him and waved, "Are you okay?"
Xue Xingchi blinked and said, "It's just an unconscious demon, so I'm not very scared."
"Yes." Lingchan said angrily, "Can I let you do it next time?"
"..." Xue Xingchi buried his face in his knees and said in a muffled voice, "I hate ghosts."
Ghosts, such ghosts that only appear at night, are just a collection of evil thoughts that feed on human negative emotions. They are weak, irrational, but greedy, and will be easily attracted by negative emotions.
Xue Xingchi said: "I think I'm pretty good, but there are often monsters around me, and they seem to like me very much."
Xue Xingchi still remembered the feeling of being sucked, like watching his skin and flesh being ripped apart and his bones broken into pieces. All emotions left him and there was only pain.
But the pain is also empty, like being exposed to the melting red lotus fire. Before you feel the pain, it has been evaporated by the high temperature.
Why is it always him?
Xue Xingchi felt that the world was not friendly to him at all.
He was sad for a while, getting rid of his emotions, and only later realized that this ruined temple was so quiet.
Only the sound of the wind is left, and there is no sound.
"..."
Lingchan won't leave him behind, right?
Along with the shame came anger.
Xue Xingchi was furious and arranged many ways for Lingchan to die in his mind.
The car was torn apart, the body was skinned in Ling Chi...
He raised his head with satisfaction.
What caught his eye was the girl's back.
The sword is like frost, clearing the surrounding areas.
Lingchan killed the last monster with one sword, sheathed the sword, and turned around to see Xue Xingchi staring at her in a daze.
She curved her lips and smiled, "Aren't you sad?"
Xue Xingchi's face turned red.
He clung to Lingchan even more.
Lingchan said he was going to Huachun Mansion, so he forgot about Dayong and followed him.
Although Huachun Mansion is a border town, it is very prosperous. People lined up with luggage early in the morning, waiting to enter the city.
Pedestrians in simple clothes and farmers carrying fresh vegetables readily let them pass after seeing the pass.
Lingchan, a monk, and Xue Xingchi, a prince, were interrogated carefully. After a while, a general who was also a monk came over and said that the city chief was meeting two distinguished guests.
Xue Xingchi was very dissatisfied, "He should be the one to pay homage to my prince! He is also the lord of a city, why don't he have this bit of etiquette?"
The monk repeated coldly, "The city lord invites you two to be guests at the city lord's mansion."
Xue Xingchi turned to look for Lingchan, "What do you think of his attitude!"
Lingchan patted Xue Xingchi's hand soothingly and said, "It's an honor."
When they arrived at the place, they discovered that the city lord's guests were far more than just the two of them.
There are several courtyards, which are densely packed with people.
Wearing luxurious clothes and embroidery, several people saw the newcomer coming and hurriedly gathered around them, "You two, how did you come to this city lord's mansion?"
How did Lingchan know?
Simply because these people gathered around them, they didn't want to find out their true identity, but to express their fears.
"The city lord summons people every night, but they never come back, let alone make any sound..."
"Outside the official office of the City Lord's Mansion, it is said that many people were dragged to and beaten to death..."
"The city lord was greedy for money and lustful before, but as long as he did what he wanted, he wouldn't make things difficult for others. What's going on now? Are you crazy? Kill us all, and Hua Chun will be finished! This city will never be the same again. Someone will come again!”
There was no need for Lingchan and Xue Xingchi to talk to each other. These frightened people were already venting their fear incessantly.
Lingchan asked: "I didn't see any monks here?"
"We ordinary people can survive for a few days, but we are afraid that the monks will cause trouble and they will be called away on the first night..." The speaker looked at Lingchan and Xue Xingchi with sympathy, "Be careful. especially you."
He shook his head at Xue Xingchi, "As an ordinary person, you could have lived a few more days, but it's a pity that your companion is a monk..."
Xue Xingchi didn't like hearing this, so he immediately retorted, "The people at the city gate are entering normally, and the residents in the city are relaxed and living and working in peace and contentment. If I really think what you said, the city lord is killing people for money, how can Huachun City be so peaceful?" ?”
"The so-called death of all is just your speculation," Xue Xingchi stared at him coldly, "Instead of doubting the city lord, it is better to think about who those messages and rumors came from. He is the one the city lord wants to kill. people!"
