When I woke up the next day, I felt full of energy, and Li Juan, who had spent the night with me, was also full of energy. It seems that doing some exercise among adults is very helpful for physical and mental health.
Seeing that I woke up, Li Juan sat next to me, put her big white legs on mine, and said softly and gratefully: "Thank you, since I had an incident with you, those things that have been bothering me... All the people who were burned to death are gone."
Only then did I feel the normal temperature, and there was no fatal and suffocating heat around me. Li Juan was right, the burning ghosts that were pestering her had left, completely away.
The day after tomorrow, it’s time for us brothers to gather together and set off again. I feel a little reluctant to let go of Li Juan. I couldn’t pursue her in college, but now I got her in such an embarrassing situation. Although it is a bit of taking advantage of others, it is all voluntary after all. Moreover, Li Juan's complexion was also very good, and she didn't blame me at all.
"Li Juan, just hope you're fine. You can go back to your hometown. You still have work to do! I also have my own things to do. We will meet again later." I said a little reluctantly, and then I stood up and was about to leave but was pulled back by her. Looking at her affectionate eyes, it seemed that she still had something to say to me.
"Zhang Ruoxu, can you please stay with me for a day and then go out with me for a day? My train ticket is for the day after tomorrow. How about you stay with me for one more day? Just one day." Looking at Li Juan's pitiful expression, I really couldn't bear to say no.
Anyway, it was only a day after tomorrow that I met Xuansheng and the four of them. It is also a good thing to have family to accompany you when you are away from home, so I will risk my life to accompany the beauty! So, I readily agreed and asked, "Li Juan, where should we go today?"
Li Juan said without thinking: "There is a mountain temple in the southern suburbs of Xi'an City. It is said to be very spiritual. Let's go there and have a look!"
Mountain Temple... should be a not-so-famous place, but since Li Juan said it, let's go and get back the feeling of falling in love in college.
We went as we were told, and we walked hand in hand to the mountains in the southern suburbs of Xi'an...
I have to say that the scenery in the deep mountains is really good. Li Juan blew the cool mountain breeze and completely let herself go. She said: "It's so fresh and cool. The wind in the mountains just feels good."
"Li Juan, isn't the wind the same everywhere? It's just that it's more natural here and has a completely different feeling than in human society."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely save money to build a house on a mountain in the suburbs in the future to enjoy the beauty of nature."
We walked and played around, and soon came to a mountain stream. The water here was crystal clear and there was no sign of pollution.
Sure enough, without human interference, nature is extremely clear and beautiful. Even I want to live in a pure natural environment. The bustling metropolis gradually disgusted me.
"Zhang Ruoxu, look at the other end of the creek, what are those wisps of white?" Li Juan pointed in front of her in surprise.
"What?" I looked over intently, and the silvery white filaments were shining in the sunlight.
I sighed, "It looks like spider silk? But why is it so long? It must be a big thing."
"Ah..." Suddenly, a scream came from high up.
It happened that a girl wearing shorts and shorts fell from a height. I immediately rushed up and caught her, but she had already passed out and looked very frightened.
There was still a rustling sound in the grass high up, and a bad premonition came over me...
There was a monster, and I smelled a trace of it. Even though the other party tried his best to hide it, I was still able to sniff it out.
I looked at the girl in my arms. She was very pure and looked about 16 or 18 years old. How could she be so frightened?
"Zhang Ruoxu, who is this girl?" Li Juan was a little confused, how could a girl suddenly appear from the wilderness!
"I don't know who she is, so let's save her first!"
After saying that, I pinched her with my right thumb. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes and said to me in a very weak voice: "That... it was you... who saved me." ?"
"Yes, are you okay?" I said, and put her down. I saw some scratches on her body, which were probably the scars left by the monster chasing her just now.
Li Juan asked her curiously: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
"I am Zhou Shanshan, a local hunter. I was attacked by a monster just now and fell from a height. Thank you for saving me."
"What did you say there was a monster? What monster?" My face suddenly darkened and my expression became serious.
The girl was quiet for a while and said: "I don't know what it's called. It just came out recently. I've seen its true form. It's a very big spider monster. I remember it was just after autumn. , it is entrenched in this mountain and has eaten several people in succession. Several hunters near us united to deal with it, but they were no match for it. This monster is so terrifying, it built its nest on the corpse He is a very dangerous and cunning monster that treats people as food."
"So that's it! This monster is going to be in trouble!" I sneered, and my heart started to itch.
When she heard about monsters, Li Juan was frightened and quickly shook my arm and said: "Zhang Ruoxu, did you hear that? There are monsters. The spider silk on the stream just now should be secreted by the spider monster Zhou Shanshan said. We still move!"
"Hmph, a little spider monster scared you. If it had fragments of Yin Ling Dan on it, I would pay more attention to it. I didn't feel the breath of Yin Ling Dan. That guy is just a second-rate guy. ." I said dismissively.
"A fragment of the Yin Ling Pill? What are you talking about?" Li Juan was confused by my words, because she didn't know my true identity at all, let alone the Yin Ling Pill.
"Then let me tell you the truth! In fact, I am a disciple of Taoism, and I am a very accomplished Feng Shui Onmyoji master. Do you know why those evil spirits in the bar did not dare to continue to pester you in the end? All of them Because of my existence."
"What, you are a Feng Shui Onmyoji? What is a Feng Shui Onmyoji?" Li Juan was still confused.
On the contrary, the little Orion girl Zhou Shanshan explained for me, "Sister, let me tell you this, Feng Shui Onmyoji is a master of exorcism, an exorcist who specializes in dealing with monsters and monsters."
"Oh, Zhang Ruoxu, why don't you just say that you catch ghosts and eliminate demons?"
I really don’t know how to answer Li Juan’s words.
Even after learning my identity, Li Juan was still a little worried. She pestered me and said, "It doesn't matter what kind of teacher you are. After all, the monsters are still powerful. Let's run for our lives. In short, we have to leave before the sun goes down."
Zhou Shanshan's next words completely broke Li Juan's illusion of leaving. She said: "Sister, you can't leave. The monster has discovered you, and has blocked the way down the mountain to prevent you from leaving. Before. , there are still some people living in this mountain, but after this monster came, most of the people were eaten by it. Now, there are living people here again, how can it let you go?"
This sentence completely broke Li Juan's idea of escape, and she began to cover her face and cry bitterly.
I hate seeing a woman cry the most, so I yelled at her: "Why are you crying? As long as I am here, you will definitely be fine. You may not think that the other party is a monster, but without the blessing of Yinling Pill, it is just a scumbag." Scumbag. Besides, I am a disciple of Taoism, I can’t just walk away, I must get rid of this monster."
Zhou Shanshan stood up and said a little unhappily: "I don't care about you anymore. This spider monster killed my family. I'm going to fight for it. Will you help me or not? That's up to you."
I got angry and yelled at her: "Hmph, did I say I won't help you? What a shameless woman. Since I am a disciple of Taoism, I will not leave such an evil monster alone."
"Stop blabbering, I don't believe there are people who are not afraid of death and dare to fight monsters." After saying that, she turned around and left, but after taking a few steps, she fell down. Only then did I realize that her left ankle was sprained and swollen. Very powerful.
Li Juan looked at her miserable state and moved with compassion. She helped her up and said, "We can't go down the mountain anyway. At least, you can take me to your house to have a rest first. There are so many of us." , we take care of each other, don’t you think?”
Zhou Shanshan did not refuse and let her show the way, while I carried her on my back and followed her instructions.
As dusk approached, we walked to a dilapidated small temple on the mountainside. An old monk who was almost toothless came out to greet us.
"Shanshan, are you injured? Who are these two people?"
"Master, I..."
When the old monk saw her injuries, he asked, "Did you get attacked by a spider monster in the mountains?"
"Yes, at that time I was setting a trap in the forest, waiting for a spider monster to ambush, and was attacked by it. It was the two of them who saved me. The man said he was a Feng Shui Onmyoji, which means he specializes in exorcising monsters and catching ghosts. ." Zhou Shanshan struggled to get off my back and limped to the old monk.
"Thanks to us, otherwise, this girl would have become food for monsters today." I said.
The old monk looked at me and questioned in a skeptical tone: "What? Are you a Feng Shui Onmyoji who specializes in exorcising demons?"
I shook my head dismissively and said, "Tch, whether you believe it or not, don't worry. Anyway, I sent you the person. Since we are not welcome, then we will leave."
After saying that, I turned around and took Li Juan's hand to leave, but Li Juan said: "This is the mountain temple I want to come to worship. Since everyone is here, let's worship first."
I was still very dismissive and said, "Let's see if the owner here welcomes us first."
"No, no, I didn't mean that. I'm very grateful that you rescued Shanshan and sent her back. Please stay here tonight. Besides, the spider monster has blocked the way down the mountain, or Wait until you leave tomorrow!" The old monk suddenly changed the topic, which made me feel very suspicious.
However, the rescued girl Zhou Shanshan still asked unhappily: "Master, why are you staying with outsiders?"
But the old monk said: "Shanshan, please leave it alone. You are injured. Go back to your room and have a good rest. After all, these two people are also the benefactors who saved you."
Although Zhou Shanshan was still reluctant, she stood up, turned around and entered the temple.
The old monk looked at her leaving figure and explained to us: "Please forgive her for her weakness. The parents of this child named Zhou Shanshan died tragically at the hands of the spider monster and were eaten alive. Since then, it has been I'm taking care of her, but because she saw her parents' thoughts, she doesn't trust people from other places, and she's wary of you, so please be patient."
I said nonchalantly: "Huh, that doesn't matter. How much do you know about the spider monster you are talking about? Is it one or many? To be honest, I found a lot of spider silk in the creek on the mountain. It doesn't look like it. Like a spider secreting it.”
"You're right, there are a lot of spider monsters, and they all come in groups."
"What hordes?" Li Juan turned pale with fright, and quickly shook my arm and asked, "Zhang Ruoxu, can you cope with so many monsters?"
"Hmph, spiders always have many offspring. Those kind of bastard monsters will kill as many as they come."
In fact, I said this on purpose to see if this monster would be successful.
The old monk suddenly said with confidence: "You can stay here tonight with peace of mind. This temple is protected by Buddha, and those spider monsters cannot come in. You can rest peacefully."
After hearing this, Li Juan became happy again. She got up and patted my shoulder and said she wanted to stay the night.
This old monk is really good at bragging. Judging from his sickly appearance, he probably doesn't have much cultivation.
But I still agreed and said thanks: "Thank you, Master. We will only bother you tonight."
After saying that, he led the two of us into this dilapidated temple...
