That night.
The moonlight climbed up to the ridge, and the cold moonlight shone on the roof of the ruined temple.
A bad wind blew, making Zhang Yan's hair stand on end.
"Starting with the ancient temple, which story is it?
No, can Liaozhai World give me a little reminder every time it teleports me in? "
Zhang Yan glanced around helplessly.
His location is in the temple hall of the ruined temple.
The entire ruined temple was dirty and dirty, and a fishy smell penetrated directly into the nose.
There were several clay Bodhisattvas beside them, tattered and half-collapsed.
His head was also missing, and half of the Bodhisattva's head was turned sideways, staring at him.
Zhang Yan shuddered.
"This is where?"
Looking around, everywhere you look, there are wormwood as tall as a person.
This ruined temple is probably the only building within a few kilometers.
"Let's see if there are any clues in Liaozhai World."
Zhang Yan was wearing thin clothes and was chilled by the bad wind at night.
He looked at a pile of thatch next to him and simply got in, preparing to deal with it all night.
At dawn tomorrow, go out to the ruined temple to find the locals and ask about the situation.
The thatch stung people, but Zhang Yan couldn't care less.
After opening the book "Liao Zhai World", an illustration appeared.
What is painted in the illustration is the deserted temple where Zhang Yan is currently located.
In the temple outlined with a few strokes, Zhang Yan could even see himself huddled in the thatch.
There is a line of text under the painting:
"Zhang Yan, a native of Jinling, is very talented but his family is poor.
And because my mother is old, I can't bear to leave her presence.
On weekdays, I sell calligraphy and painting, write some couplets, and make ends meet.
On this day, because my mother was seriously ill, she needed some medicinal materials.
Zhang Yan was short of money, so he had to ask the doctor where the medicinal materials were, and went alone.
I hope to collect medicinal materials and cure my mother's illness.
But while walking, Zhang Yan got lost in the mountains.
Fortunately, I found a deserted temple to stay, so I wouldn't be eaten by tigers and wolves in the middle of the night.
But he doesn't know that the deserted temple here is more dangerous than tigers and wolves...'
Zhang Yan suddenly became alert after reading these lines of text.
There are countless stories similar to the beginning of the poor scholar in the original works of Liaozhai.
Based on these few lines, he still couldn't tell which story it came from.
Still need more clues.
It seems that this time in the Liaozhai story, my character is a poor scholar, and he is also a poor scholar with a mother.
"It's your grandma's fault. In Chinese fairy tales, almost all the protagonists are poor scholars."
Zhang Yan rubbed his temples.
Then, his eyes fell firmly on the last line of text in the book.
'But he doesn't know that the deserted temple here is more dangerous than tigers and wolves...'
"It means that it may be very unsafe if we continue to stay in this ruined temple."
This is already an official warning.
Zhang Yan is not stupid. It is safe for him to leave as soon as possible before the unknown danger comes and look for a hiding place again.
Just when he was about to get out of the thatch and leave the ruined temple.
Suddenly, Zhang Yan's ears twitched a few times and his head was buried in the thatch.
He hid in the hay again.
Not long after, someone was talking and laughing outside the ruined temple.
"Brother, I'm hungry."
One of them was drooling and his words were muffled and muffled.
"Brother, I'll light a fire right away.
The meat will be done quickly. "
The other person's voice was equally unpleasant, like scraping the bottom of a pot with a shovel.
There was only a sound of chopping wood, and the two people lit up the fire.
After a few more minutes, there was the sizzling sound of grease falling into the fire.
The alluring aroma of barbecued meat floated in the wind from the door of the ruined temple and blew into Zhang Yan's nose.
“Such delicious meat.
But why does it seem like I've smelled this meat smell somewhere before? "
Zhang Yan was puzzled.
Could it be that the danger written in the book comes from these two speakers?
A ruined temple in the mountains, late at night.
Anyone who can come to such a desolate ghost place is definitely not a good person.
Zhang Yan couldn't help but peeked out.
He was suddenly startled.
Who are these two people?
It's clearly an evil spirit.
The elder brother was three meters tall, and his black skin was covered with cracks, as if he had been burned by flames.
Its eyes were as dark as ink, without a trace of light.
His hair was dry and stuck to his scalp, looking disgusting and ferocious under the firelight.
Especially its hands, Zhang Yan's heart suddenly sank when he saw it.
The claws are long and pointed like human hands, and the nails are as sharp as knives.
It sat by the fire and was concentrating on roasting the food on the fire.
The younger brother, on the other hand, is short in stature and has skin as pale as paper.
The hands were thin and bony, and the nails were long and curved, shining with a cold light.
These two evil ghosts don't look like they were born from the same mother.
The younger brother was greedy, with two sharp fangs protruding from his mouth, and bits of saliva kept flowing down.
Zhang Yan turned his eyes and used the firelight to see clearly what was roasting on the fire.
It turned out to be a human male who had stripped off all his clothes, dug out his belly, and pulled out his internal organs.
Zhang Yan finally understood why he felt that the smell of meat was so familiar.
Because he had just smelled it not long ago.
In the script of "Ghost Story of the Longevity Hospital", the corpse burned by the bomb emits this kind of smell.
"Two evil spirits actually appeared.
And it's E-level or above. "
Zhang Yan couldn't judge the strength of these two evil spirits, he only felt that they were very powerful.
The evil spirit has amazing powers.
Zhang Yan was really not sure he could win.
At this moment, a line of text appeared in the world of Liaozhai:
【Task:
Evade the pursuit of two evil spirits for a quarter of an hour.
Mission reward: Liu Wushuang's bond is increased by 5, and his power is increased by 1000. 】
Zhang Yan felt cold all over after reading the mission description.
The good news is that there appear to be plenty of places to hide around the ruined temple.
The bad news is, there will be a chase.
Liaozhai World has decided that it cannot defeat these two evil ghosts, which means that these two evil ghosts are probably existences similar to regular monsters.
Also, who is that Liu Wushuang?
Why can I gain her favorability by avoiding evil spirits for fifteen minutes?
Zhang Yan didn't know why. He searched all his memories and couldn't come up with the character Liu Wushuang in the original Liaozhai novel.
"I'm going to hide for fifteen minutes anyway, so stay still for now."
Zhang Yan made up his mind to hide as long as he could.
The human flesh has been roasted, and the two evil spirits are now waiting attentively to eat.
This is a good sign.
Zhang Yan tried his best to calm himself down, not to mention breathing, but even his heartbeat had to slow down.
However, things will not go so smoothly.
The evil ghost brother suddenly shrugged his nose: "Brother, I seem to smell the smell of strangers."
Brother Evil pulled off a human leg in a vague manner and handed it to it: "Aren't we roasting humans?"
"No, this is already an acquaintance.
I smell the breath of the living. "
The evil brother keeps sniffing everywhere.
Zhang Yan kept shrinking into the thatch, his heart felt cold.
Brother Evil Ghost seemed to have smelled Zhang Yan's scent, and said in a sullen voice: "Yes, brother, you smelled it right.
There seems to be a living person here. "
The two evil ghost brothers went looking for each other separately.
Seeing them walking further and further away, Zhang Yan's anxious heart finally calmed down a little.
Just when he wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly, a sinister voice sounded from behind.
"Hehe, I found you!"
