Through the dim moonlight, Qianqiu could vaguely see the appearance of the small ruined temple in front of him.

The small ruined temple is not big, there is only one main hall, a small courtyard in front of it, surrounded by some mud mixed with thatched earthen walls, and the gate in front of you is also dilapidated. Probably due to disrepair, one gate is gone, and the other is barely standing on top of a pile of dead grass.

"Help, help, anyone?" there were a few more cries for help from inside the ruined temple.

"It's important to save people, knife, you go find some food by yourself, don't run far. Without thinking, the kind-hearted Chiaki jumped off his horse and rushed in through the gate, and the knife barked softly and ran away.

Qianqiu, who entered the temple with a torch, saw that the front of the hall was also overgrown with weeds, and there was only a half-cut Buddha statue in the hall, and I didn't know what kind of Buddha it was.

Qianqiu slowly brushed aside the weeds and came to the side of the dry well: "Who is in the well?"

The people in the well saw the fire, heard the sound of the weeds, and hurriedly replied, "Big brother, help, help me up!"

When Qianqiu heard this, it seemed to be a little girl, and she got closer, and poked her head out, and by the light of the fire, she could see that the dry well was not deep, and a little girl in red was crying and looking up at him at the well.

"I'll get you up first. Chiaki looked at the golden dirt beneath her feet, "Tufa - Tupo!" Chiaki said the term.

Suddenly the dirt rose from the girl's feet, until it lifted her out of the dry well.

Qianqiu took a closer look at it, the girl looked very smart, her face was covered with ash, she was wearing a bridal dress in the world, it was very gorgeous, and the accessories on her head rubbed her hair together in a mess. Qianqiu pinched her nose, although the bride in front of her was good-looking, but there was a faint smell mixed with the aroma, and it was a little fishy.

"How did you fall into a well when you're dressed like this?" asked Chiaki, puzzled.

The bride was a little frightened by the suddenly rising earthen platform, until she saw the young man in front of her, she was a little calm, knowing that it was a young man who practiced magic to save herself, and hurriedly said respectfully: "My lord, the little woman doesn't know either." Tonight was supposed to be the little woman's big day, and in the afternoon she was dressed in the boudoir, and then she fell asleep for some reason, and when she woke up, she was in this dry well, and I don't know where it was. As she spoke, the bride continued to cry uncontrollably.

Qianqiu sniffed it, but didn't smell the demonic aura from the girl, so she said, "This is the Misty Forest, what is your name, where are the people?"

"The little woman's name is Dong Na, a native of Qingshui County. ”

"Is it the Qingshui Prefecture on the eastern side of the Shenshan Mountain?" Qianqiu had seen the map, and the master had mentioned this place.

"Exactly!" Dong Na replied crying, but with some joy, the young man in front of him could know the name of Qingshui County, and he must know where it was.

"Qingshui County is not close to here! It is estimated that it will take two hours to ride a horse, let alone take it around. Qianqiu said suspiciously, "But, girl, don't worry, I will send you back." It's getting late today, if it's okay elsewhere, but in the foggy forest, there are many dangers, and it's really not suitable to rush at night, so you can rest for a while and go on the road again tomorrow morning. ”

"But this ...... I'm a little scared of the strange atmosphere in this temple. Dong Na looked around, and in the foggy night, this dilapidated temple was really a bit crazy.

Qianqiu was relieved: "It's okay, you will rest next to the Buddha statue later, I am in front of the incense case, I will protect you if there is something." "I don't know what's going on, but after leaving the master, Qianqiu has matured a lot.

"Okay, there's Lord Lao. She actually didn't want to stay in this ghost place for a while, but the young man in front of her had cultivation and was the only person who could be relied on now, and there shouldn't be any problem listening to him.

Qianqiu shook her head and told her not to take it to heart, so she went to meditate in front of the incense case, he already knew in his heart that this girl would come here, and it must be done by monsters. With such a long distance, she didn't believe that an ordinary person would be able to arrive in a while. But he still decided not to tell her yet, ordinary people must be afraid of youkai, and it will be troublesome to go home when the time comes.

At night to the third watch, the fog became thicker and thicker, and the silence around was terrifying, and only the sound of the two people breathing could be heard.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow appeared in the misty forest, stood at the gate of the temple, looked around, and then secretly walked into the gate, and followed the path in the courtyard to the dry well.

Qianqiu, who closed his eyes and breathed breathing, heard the movement from afar, and instantly woke up: "There is a demonic spirit." Knowing that a monster was coming, he glanced at Dong Na, who was sleeping next to the Buddha statue, and quietly hid behind the pillar, where he could see the monster standing next to the dry well.

In front of the dry well, a huge black shadow poked his head, rubbed his hands, looked into the well, and said vaguely: "Hmph, little lady, I'm here!"

Qianqiu gasped, the scene in front of him was too scary, a dark shadow was in such a dilapidated temple, in the middle of the night, shouting this sentence towards the dry well, if he didn't come here, Dong Na would have to be scared to death.

The black shadow whispered softly for a long time, looked carefully at the well, and found that there was no one, and his heart suddenly became anxious.

The wellhead was next to the wall, covering most of the moonlight, and Qianqiu couldn't see the appearance of the person who came clearly, but he smelled the exact same fishy smell of Dong Na from a distance, so he must have arrested someone.

"Oh no! someone!" the black shadow smelled a hint of a cultivator, and exclaimed to himself, and ran out in a panic with an arrow step.

Chiaki originally wanted to light a fire to see what this monster looked like, but he didn't know that he was so timid, and he immediately ran away when he smelled himself. He hurried out, and in the night, he looked around, but saw nothing, except that he heard someone fleeing to the east.

"This monster is too timid! It's too embarrassing for the monster, I still don't chase it, and the knife doesn't know where to run, and there is still one sleeping in the temple, and it will be bad if you encounter danger again." Qianqiu thought to herself, so she turned around and walked into the ruined temple.

Back in the temple, the bride was still asleep, Qianqiu felt a lot more at ease, and he was a little depressed, he wanted to know what kind of monster caught this bride, and after thinking about it, it is estimated that there are monsters in Qingshui County.

The next day, the fog cleared a little, and Dong Na, who was restless, woke up early, and she didn't know what her family would be anxious about when she knew that she was missing.

She stood up and slowly walked to Qianqiu's side, wanting to ask, but who knew that Qianqiu also opened her eyes immediately, looked at Dong Na, who was a little frightened, and said, "Are you awake? ”

"I can't ask for it, thank you, sir. ”

"Don't call me an adult, just call me Qianqiu. Chiaki found some water and wiped her face.

"By no means, adults are cultivators, not people who can be called by their names. Dong Na hurriedly stepped back.

"What kind of cultivation is not cultivated, I am also an ordinary person, it's okay. Qianqiu said generously, "By the way, do strange things like this often happen in your county?" he didn't forget to ask.

"Qingshui County is not big or small, east of the deserted Shanghai City, west of Sanchuan Lake, north of Wanhua Valley, the terrain is diverse, the folk customs are simple, but strange things often happen, but over the years more and more frequent, as far as I know, these days often have girls missing. Dong Na seriously recalled.

Qianqiu nodded, it should be right, there must be a monster to make trouble, thinking of this, he urged the contract book that had become a small bead in the depths of the pool, and called the knife.

After a while, the knife stopped at the gate of the broken temple and hissed a few times.

"You get on the horse, it will follow me, and I will take you home. The swing let Dong Na get on the horse, and he followed behind, and the master once reminded him that in the mortal world, men and women are not kissed, and they can't touch women at will, let alone a bride.

"Knife, hold her up, follow me, and please eat delicious forage in the evening. Qianqiu gently touched the mane of the knife, and the knife enjoyed it very much, and shook his head slightly.

Chiaki lifted her feet and ran, galloping forward, and the knife followed closely.

In the past two years, the master asked him to chase Lao Wang every morning, and his foot strength was trained, and he ran wildly for more than ten miles without panting.

After walking for an hour, I got out of the misty forest, and after walking for another hour, I could reach Qingshui County.

The two of them came out of the misty forest, and suddenly felt enlightened, only to see a large green meadow in front of them, and they couldn't see the end at a glance.

"Let's take a break. Qianqiu turned around and said to Dong Na.

After speaking, he turned around, looked at the Shenshan Mountain in the distance, knelt down in place, and kowtowed three times in the direction of Luoxia Slope: "Master, Qianqiu will definitely work hard." ”

Dong Na, who was on the horse, glanced at Qianqiu who was so solemn: "My lord, are you from the mountains?"

Qianqiu hesitated for a moment: "Oh, no, I'm from Xixi Village, East and West." He suddenly remembered that the master had explained that he could not reveal his whereabouts, so he simply casually said a village in the mountains.

"The little woman is short-sighted and doesn't know this village. My lord is so good, the place you belong to must be a treasure land of personal excellence. Dong Na boasted.

"Actually, I don't know where this place is. Qianqiu said silently in her heart.

After a short break, the two hit the road again.

Along the way, Qianqiu ran slower, he had never been out of the sacred mountain, only seen these things from afar on the slope of Luoxia, there were no fields in the mountains, no such exquisite houses, no such clean and beautiful lakes, it was a feast for the eyes.

【Lake Sanchuan】

After more than an hour, Qianqiu finally ran to the Sanchuan Lake that Dong Na said.

The name of Sanchuan Lake sounds immense, but it is not spectacular, but it has the feeling of a small jasper: the whole lake is composed of small lakes, and countless flowers and trees are separated by small ponds, which is also a peculiar landscape. Sanchuan Lake goes to the east, and not far away is Qingshui County.

Chiaki stopped, found a small spot by a lake, and squatted down to wash her hands and face. After running for a long time, he sweated profusely, looked around, and found that a few merchants not far away were also washing by the lake.

"Be careful!" a crisp female voice sounded not far away.

The merchants looked up, and after searching for sound to no avail, they suddenly fried the pot.

"Who's talking?"

"Old Pan, is that you?"

"No, there are no women in our caravan. ”

A group of people looked at each other, searching around for the source of the sound they had just heard. At this moment, a large fruit fell from the tree and hit the top of a merchant's head, and the fruit was smashed with his exclamation.

"Tell you to be careful, don't listen. A small orange cuckoo stopped above the merchant's head and spoke.

"Youkai!
