"How long are you going to cry?"
The sudden sound of a woman's voice woke Jiang Chen up.
He turned around and saw Miss Gao lying on the altar, her big bright eyes staring at him continuously.
"Come here and help me unlock the chains. It's not too late to cry!" Miss Gao ordered.
Jiang Chen ignored her and sat there for a moment, then bent down, picked up Chiyang's body, turned around and walked out.
Miss Gao was shocked, her body twisted violently, and the chains jingled: "Hey! Where are you going? Help me untie the chains, and I will go with you! Don't leave, don't leave them behind I……"
Amid the shouting, Jiang Chen's back continued to move further and further away until he could no longer be seen.
Facing the venomous snake corpses on the ground and the smell of blood in the room, Miss Gao was filled with despair and fear. She closed her eyes and burst into tears.
Until her voice became hoarse from crying and she felt that she no longer had any strength in her body, she lay on the bed in despair, weeping and waiting for death to approach.
Regret, unwillingness, sadness... and resentment towards Jiang Chen all gradually became numb as time went by.
She now finally understood that after taking off that glamorous coat and losing the protection of her noble status, she was nothing. She was abandoned casually and had no strength to resist. In the end, she could only turn into a withered skeleton, along with poisonous snakes and corpses. as companion...
The cold stone room became a little warm, and she thought she was hallucinating. It wasn't until she heard the unhurried footsteps approaching that she ecstatically woke up from her numbness.
Jiang Chen left and came back. It’s just that Chiyang’s body on his back is missing.
As he approached, Miss Gao couldn't help complaining: "You've been gone for so long just to bury a dead person?"
Jiang Chen frowned and said coldly: "If I were to bury you, it shouldn't take long."
Miss Gao saw that his expression was wrong and she quickly changed her words: "Hey, pretend I didn't say anything. Don't be angry. Come over here and help me untie the chains."
Jiang Chen walked over and tugged on the chain on her body. The blood gathered in his hands. With a little force, there was a crisp "click" sound, and the chain made of fine iron was broken by him.
This is the boiling blood that Chi Yang left to Jiang Chen, which allowed him to break through the second level of body training "Shedding" and reach the third level of "Yi Jin" in just two sticks of incense. But when he thought of Chiyang's death, he couldn't be happy.
Miss Gao couldn't wait to climb down from the altar. She was startled when she lowered her head and yelled at Jiang Chen angrily: "Scoundrel! Turn around quickly!"
Jiang Chen turned his back and heard Miss Gao calling again: "Go find me some clothes!"
Her previous coat had been torn to pieces by the piper's spell.
Jiang Chen pointed to the ground, where the torn corpses of the flute player were scattered all over the ground.
"Peel it yourself."
"I don't want to wear the clothes of a dead person!" Miss Gao stamped her feet and waved her hands away, very dissatisfied.
"Whatever you want." Jiang Chen walked out.
"Wait, bastard! Wait for me a moment!" Miss Gao hurriedly stripped the clothes off the body.
The body was torn into pieces, and the clothes were reduced to pieces of rags. Miss Gao peeled off the largest pieces, wrapped them around her body, and hurried after Jiang Chen's back.
She panted and caught up with Jiang Chen, complaining: "You guy, you don't know how to cherish the beauty of a woman! Alas, this young lady has been unlucky for eight lifetimes when she met you..."
Jiang Chen ignored her, but Miss Gao's voice lingered in his ears like flies. Sometimes she said he was unmanly, and sometimes she blamed him for walking too fast, which annoyed him.
The two walked forward for a while, and a burly figure suddenly came into view. It was the seventh-level "Xuan Gang" puppet.
It has now become a dead thing, standing there stiffly, holding the Green Dragon Sword in both hands in a slashing motion. Although the movement has solidified, it still gives people a strong sense of oppression, as if a leader is leading an army. The charging general.
"Who is this guy? He seems to be very powerful. Why is he not moving?" Miss Gao stepped forward and waved her hand in front of the puppet.
Seeing her ignorant and fearless look, Jiang Chen asked suspiciously, "Didn't you see it when you came?"
"No! I had a magic weapon to protect me, so I kept running forward without anyone stopping me. Then I bumped into the guy playing the flute. He used a trick and tore my clothes while I was arranging them. Tie me up..."
The fighting that Miss Gao said was as ridiculous as children fighting, but Jiang Chen couldn't laugh.
He carefully looked at the appearance of the puppet, and vaguely felt that this puppet was somewhat similar to the giant bull-headed ghost in Xue Mansion in Xiliao City, but the production method was more sophisticated.
Jiang Chen put his right hand towards the puppet's forehead, pressed his fingers on it, and touched the depression of the helmet.
A cold, gloomy feeling passed through him, reminding him of the scroll where the horse-faced old ghost once resided. The two felt very similar. This made him suddenly suspicious, could this temple be related to Qingming Palace?
But after he threw the scroll, he heard with his own ears that the horse-faced old ghost was beaten to pieces by a puppet. The puppet showed no mercy at all, and it didn't look like he belonged to the same family...
Jiang Chen thought of another thing, turned to stare at Miss Gao and said, "Why did you come to this place?"
Miss Gao, who had been chattering just now, immediately calmed down and hesitated: "This, actually... is a bit embarrassing to say."
She felt coy for a while, and then continued under Jiang Chen's gaze: "I made a bet with a rival in the Star Academy about who could get the treasure in the temple first. We swore in front of the Soul-falling Bell not to call our family or classmates To help, you must recruit partners based on your own charm. If anyone loses, he will have to call the other person my mother three times in front of everyone in the Star Academy..."
"That's it?" Jiang Chen suddenly felt ridiculous when he thought that his group had gone through so much trouble to get here and lost countless people and companions, only because of the playfulness of two little girls.
"What expression are you looking at? Do you look down on me? Let me tell you, this temple contains ancient treasures from before the creation of the Yunmeng world. Every piece taken out can cause a bloody storm in the world! What a pity! We are not lucky enough. As soon as we reach the first level, everyone is dead. Even Chiyang is here, it seems that no one in Xiliao City can enter the second level..."
Miss Gao felt a little frustrated as she spoke, "Oh, let's go home early, I want to eat osmanthus cake..."
She thought of something again, cheered up, and laughed, "The little bitch named Lin must not know the power of this ghost place. She is told to die here and be made into a puppet!"
The two of them walked out as they talked.
After leaving the temple gate and seeing the cliff that was about two feet high, Jiang Chen stopped and turned to look at Miss Gao.
Miss Gao looked at the cliff and said nervously: "You, you don't want me to climb up by myself, do you?"
"You are also a third-level "Yi Jin" physique, so you should not be able to deal with such a short cliff. "
"No, no, no!" Miss Gao shook her head like a rattle, "What kind of identity am I, Miss, how can I climb a cliff by myself? How can I behave like this!"
"Do you want me to carry you up?"
"Yes, yes, yes, you carry me up! I will give you money. Is three thousand taels of silver enough? No, thirty thousand taels! As long as you send me back to Xiliao City safely, I will give you thirty thousand taels!"
"Too little!"
"Fifty thousand taels! Pay a deposit of 10,000 taels first, and return the rest to Xiliao City to pay off!"
"This price is somewhat sincere, but... I'm not happy!"
"What else do you want? Do you still want me to beg you?"
As Miss Gao spoke, she saw that Jiang Chen was unmoved, her mouth flattened, her eyes began to turn red, and she looked like she was about to cry.
"I was wrong, can I admit my mistake? I shouldn't have done that to you, but you also kicked me off the cliff. We are even, what else do you want? I am a lonely girl, how can you You can’t bear to leave me alone, oh oh oh..."
Listening to her cries, Jiang Chen sighed softly: "Do you know how big of a mistake you have made?"
"I realize my mistake, and I will never dare to do it again." Miss Gao wiped her eyes with one hand, and gently pulled Jiang Chen's sleeve with the other hand, "Please forgive me, I will definitely change my ways and change my mind." , become a new person..."
"I hope you will do what you say."
Miss Gao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I will definitely do it. A girl like me who is unloved and unloved will soon learn to be sensible."
She spread her fingers a little and peeked at Jiang Chen's face: "In this case, can you forgive me? If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your acquiescence!"
Seeing Jiang Chen's silence, Miss Gao opened her arms cheerfully, "Great, hurry up and carry me up!"
She threw herself on Jiang Chen's back unceremoniously.
But look at her face, where is the slightest trace of tears?
Jiang Chen knew in his heart that she was just pretending to be pitiful, and he didn't bother to argue with her.
Possessing the power of the third level "Yi Jin", Jiang Chen could walk very easily even if he was carrying one person on his back. He climbed up the cliff, fought through thorns and thorns, and walked back along the route he remembered.
