Chapter 43: Separation
Huang Xiaodou and the others jumped down from the roof, looked in from the back of the nave, and looked at it for a long time without seeing anyone.
He tried to call out the names of several people, but could not hear a response.
"Strange, where have all the people gone?"
When Ann heard this, he stepped into the temple. Although Huang Xiaodou felt weird, he still followed in, and deliberately used a talisman to fly to avoid his feet getting wet.
The hall was very quiet. The first thing you see when you enter through the back door is a tall wall with a huge coiling dragon painted on it.
Listen to Ann suggest that the two of them go into the antechamber from both sides of the wall in separate ways, so as not to miss everyone.
Huang Xiaodou shook his head, walked with him on the right side, and said, "We have been separated from them, and we can't be separated again." It's a big deal to look at the other side later. β
Hearing An, he naturally agreed, and said, "It's okay." β
The two of them walked all the way into the hall, which was very spacious, with a high platform in the middle, and the high platform and the steps were all covered with a carpet with exquisite patterns, and the blanket hung down on the ground and fell into the water, and the whole was damp, but the blanket did not look old and erosive.
In the middle of the platform is a huge chair with a twisted gold filigree inlaid with precious stones, a giant sword is inserted on each side, and on each side of the giant sword stands a human-tall long-handled feather fan.
The four huge pillars in the hall are thick and thick, and the dragon and phoenix are gorgeously colored, beautifully carved, and even inlaid with a lot of precious stones.
The dazzling starstone is paved between the giant pillars, and the clear water that reaches the calf makes it even more mysterious.
"This hall can hold about 500 people, to say the least. "Listen to Andao. The empty temple was filled with echoes.
Huang Xiaodou looked all the way, and when he arrived at the front door, he pointed to a pile of rare antiques on the ground and said strangely: "Huh, what's going on?"
Ting'an ran over to take a look and said, "Could it be the treasure collected by Ma Liuzi?"
Huang Xiaodou said: "Then why did he leave them and run away? β
Ting'an stepped out of the hall and looked out, but there was still no one in sight. "Huh?" He found that the stone statues on the steps were gone, he walked a few steps quickly, leaned on the jade railing and looked out, and found that the stone statues of armored soldiers on both sides of the square were all gone!
He shouted to Huang Xiaodou in surprise: "Senior Brother Xifeng, it's strange, those stone statues are all gone!" However, he turned around and didn't see Huang Xiaodou, "Senior Brother Xifeng?" He walked back a few steps, and when he reached the gate of the hall and looked in, it was still empty, and what surprised him even more was that the pile of treasures at the door was all gone!
He entered the main hall and hurried while shouting "Senior Brother Xifeng", but he didn't see a single figure, and what was even more strange was that the treasures piled up at the door had all returned to their original places!
Listening to Ann's unbelief in evil continued to look around, but after all, there was no one. He searched inside and outside the temple again and again, and finally he sat on the threshold in front of the temple, panting and despairing.

"Huh, Chu Xin, where did you just go, we couldn't find you everywhere!" Hua Huazi complained. He looked behind her and asked, "Where's Creek Wind, isn't it with you?"
Chu Xin also looked behind him and asked, "What about the others, aren't they with you?"
Hua Huazi looked back and said, "It's right behind, we came out together, and I found you, Xiaoxifeng and Xiao Ting'an are gone." Huh, what about them?"
He was just about to step out of the hall again, but was pulled back by Chu Xin, "Don't go out!"
Hanako almost fell, and said angrily: "What are you doing!"
Chu Xin said: "Wait and see, wait for everyone to arrive." β
At this time, I heard a voice coming from the back door, "Is there anyone-" It was Qiao Mu. At the same time, there was the barking of the servants.
Chu Xin hurriedly replied, "Yesβcome to the front hall!"
Soon the painting wall of the arbor, the duyan and the back door of the great servant went around to the front hall.
Duyan muttered, "What the hell!"
Qiao Mu said: "What are you running around, we have been looking for a long time!"
Hua Huazi frowned, and said unhappily: "Who is running around, I said that I will wait at the front door, and you go to the side door to look for it, but I waited for a long time and did not see you come back, I had to go through the hall, and I didn't see you in the back! Lao Tzu also struggled to go up to the roof and waited for a long time, only then did he hear Ma Liuzi's guy crying wolf and running out, originally with him......
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, a person suddenly broke in from the main entrance, hit him and lay forward, Chu Xin's eyes were quick, and an ice wall held him up, avoiding the embarrassment of him lying in the water.
Hua Huazi was frightened, and when she turned around and saw that it was Ma Yuncheng, she scolded her head and face, "Where did you go, this turtle grandson, why did you follow!"
Ma Yuncheng was bruised, obviously frightened.
Seeing him like this, Hua Huazi didn't want to say anything, and even regretted her rudeness, so she asked in a slow tone, "What's wrong with you?"
Ma Yuncheng took a deep breath, hugged Hua Huazi's arm and said, "I think something is wrong here, there must be a ghost!"
Everyone: "There are ghosts?"
Chu Xin believed half of it, and she said, "I don't know if it's a ghost, but this palace is indeed strange." I went out before, but I couldn't find Huang Xiaodou and the two of them, so I went back to the temple to look for you. But I didn't see you either, so I went out again to the roof of the house and looked around, but there was still no one to be seen, so I went down to the ground and entered through the door on the left, and then turned back through the door on the right, but I couldn't find you anywhere anyway.
I don't remember the first few times, but I finally found out that a pastel terracotta figurine in this hall was still in place......"
Everyone followed her gaze, and sure enough, they saw a pastel terracotta figurine on the side of the wooden flower arrangement.
Ma Yuncheng held Huahuazi's arm tightly, and when he saw this terracotta figurine, he was even more frightened and hid behind him.
Qiao Mu also grabbed Duyan uneasily, her teeth chattered a little and said: "This, this terracotta figurine is not, wasn't it transported by a horse into a Qiankun bag?"
Ma Yuncheng shivered and nodded behind Hua Huazi, and said, "I was going to follow you out of the hall, but as a result, a voice in my ear said: 'You still want to leave after taking the things here?' Then a few shadows ran towards me, and I was so frightened that I quickly poured out all the things in the Qiankun bag, and then I came out of the hall."
I, I was originally stepping on the flying magic weapon to go to the next main hall, but I ran into Elder Hua......"
Qiao Mu nervously leaned towards Duyan and said, "It's really fake, don't lie to me~" Because she has been sticking to Duyan, she didn't care much about finding someone. Duyan was also dizzy from her sticking, but in retrospect, there were indeed many things that were wrong.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Qiao Mu asked, "What should I do now?" Stay here, or go to the next temple?"
Chu Xin said: "I suggest that everyone wait where they are, and then go to the next place after everyone gathers." β
Qiao Mu said, "Are you sure they can get it back?"
Hua Huazi finally regained her runaway IQ at this time, and after thinking carefully, she said: "As long as they look for it, they will always find us." Unless they don't look for it. β
Chu Xin nodded and said, "Let's wait and see." β
Several people sat on the threshold of the main hall in rows and prepared to eat, and Chu Xin also specially reminded him not to stretch his legs and feet out of the hall.
Not long after, Ma Yuncheng and Duyan were kicked into the water, and those who came in behind were Kun Lei and Ting'an.
"Ahh
"Oops! What did I kick?"
Ma Yuncheng was helped up by Ting'an, and Kun Lei stepped on Duyan's back before he realized that he had kicked someone.
"Oh, it's strange, I didn't see anyone on the threshold outside. Kun Lei's voice was honest, and he lifted the whole horse and shook the water down, looking puzzled.
Everyone else hurried to their feet from the threshold while waiting for the return of their last teammate.
Hua Huazi said: "Don't say anything, there must be ghosts in this palace." After waiting for Huang Xiaodou, he asked again, "Where is Xiaoxi Wind?"
Ting'an shook his head and said, "It's strange, he is obviously behind me, right here, I just went out for a while, and he disappeared." After that, I looked around, but I didn't expect to find him first. He pointed at Kun Lei.
Kun Lei said: "I originally sat on the chair on the stage, and suddenly someone asked me, who are you? What qualifications do you have to sit here? The voice is always scary~ I said: I am just curious to sit and watch, this chair is not comfortable to sit on, it is better to sit on the steps outside." With that, I got up. Then I couldn't find you, and the voice didn't speak again, and after a while I saw Ting'an come in. β
Listen to Ann continued: "We came out and went to the roof, he looked at the back door and I looked at the front door, and I waited for a long time and no one came out." So we decided to come in together and look for something strange. β
Kun Lei apologized to Ma Yuncheng and said, "I accidentally kicked you." β
Huang Xiaodou has never come, everyone is not a fire method, and Ma Yuncheng can only be so wet all the time.
The people continued to eat and drink, while looking around at the temple.
The unknown and weirdness make everyone feel very uncomfortable, some are afraid, some are worried, and some regret...... There are also thick nerves.
"I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep on the platform over there, if you have any decisions or need to remember to wake me up. Kun Lei said and went to the table where the imperial chair was. When I got to the side, I felt that the blanket was too wet, so I lifted it directly, piled it on the royal chair on the side, and pressed it with the two giant swords.
This table turned out to be made of a whole piece of jade, a little cold, Kun Lei didn't mind lying down directly, and touched the jade, and said, "It's the first time in my life to sleep on such a large piece of jade." β
As soon as he finished speaking, he began to snore. Everyone admired and envied them very much.
Rather than admiration and envy, Duyan wanted to know how he lived so big.
