The faint light of the fire that Hou Yan saw was not very far, only a few hundred meters away, but this weather was really disturbing, he held a strong flashlight in one hand to illuminate the road under his feet, and with the other hand held the umbrella above the head of the dragon girl, his body below the back was dripping with water.

The evening breeze howled, blowing the umbrella from the inside out, Hou Yan held the flashlight in his mouth, adjusted the position of the umbrella with both hands, and tried his best to block the body of the dragon girl, after all, he is now riding on other people's bodies, and this aspect has to be fully done.

If Ai Qing was in charge of her body, she would never do such a spineless thing as letting a girl carry it, so Hou Yan would be thick-skinned and do it.

The journey of nearly an hour was quickly completed, and a wall appeared in front of the two of them, under the illumination of the flashlight, the wall was earthy gray, the most primitive brick wall, higher than Hou Yan, about two meters or so, the corner of the wall was covered with cobwebs, and raindrops passed through the fine and soft spider silk, but it could not be interrupted.

The dragon girl threw Hou Yan on her back aside, straightened up, and rubbed her thin waist, when had she been treated like this, she actually carried a man on her back and walked such a long distance in the mountains under the heavy rain, if it weren't for Ai Qing saving her life, she would have turned her face a long time ago.

In order to divert Hou Yan's attention, Ai Qing said that there was a Taoist temple outside the woods, but he really said it right.

"Ai Qing didn't lie to me, it's really a Taoist temple after passing through the woods. ”

Hou Yan's body eased a lot, and his basic mobility was still no problem, he went around to the main entrance of the Taoist temple, and hit the light on the plaque above the door, and three dark gold traditional characters were engraved in the center of the dark blue door plaque.

"Dao Ran Guan?" The traditional Chinese characters of the two characters Dao Ran are the same as the simplified Chinese characters, so Hou Yan saw the traditional Chinese characters from the last word.

The dragon girl was a little afraid of the environment here, and a Taoist temple suddenly appeared in the dark, although one of their previous purposes was to find a Taoist temple, but in the background of such a thunderstorm, after really seeing it, it is inevitable that some scenes will only appear in ghost movies.

She leaned over to Hou Yan's side and pulled a corner of Hou Yan with one hand, trying to find some security.

"The fire I just saw should have come from here, could it be that the incense here has not been broken, or that there are Taoist priests cultivating here?" asked Hou Yan to himself.

"Shall we go in?"

"Of course, this is the only place around where you can shelter from the rain, and it looks like we're going to spend the night here tonight. ”

The old main gate was not closed, and a one-person-wide crack was opened inward, Hou Yan walked in front, and the dragon girl followed behind, entering through the crack in the door.

The Taoist temple is not very big, not as big as the Miao'an Temple that stole diamonds before, the rectangular courtyard, the left and right hands of the door are the landmark buildings in the conduit, the bell tower and the drum tower, each has two floors, are ancient architectural style, it seems a little old, it should be left over from the old era, not built in modern times.

The doors of both buildings were closed, and through the dark red wooden doors, it was impossible to see if there were really bells and drums inside.

Then go inward, there are side halls on both sides, the door is open, and a small bronze incense burner is placed in front of the door, looking at the emerald green on it, a thick layer of patina, which has not been cleaned for a long time.

Several prayer buildings stood in an orderly manner in the open space of the courtyard, but the two of them were not interested in paying attention to what was written on them.

Hou Yan's flashlight shone into the door of the side hall, and the statue of the god enshrined inside was facing the door, sitting on the wooden platform with a strong momentum, the colors around the body were bright, the facial expression was even more lifelike, and the black eyes were staring at the door, which was exactly the direction in which Hou Yan and the dragon girl were standing.

A flash of light swept directly above the two of them, shining the entire courtyard of the Taoist temple, the side hall was as bright as if it had been lit, and several statues of gods seemed to come to life, causing ten thousand points of fear to Hou Yan and the dragon girl, standing in place, so frightened that they did not dare to look directly at the position of the statue.

The dragon girl hugged Hou Yan's arm tightly in the back, the girl has a natural fear of the night and more supernatural things, not to mention that now both are accounted for.

"Shall we hurry up?" urged the dragon maiden, not wanting to bathe in the gaze of the gods.

Hou Yan nodded, answered, took a step and continued to walk inside, the dragon girl followed his steps, couldn't help but be curious, raised her head and secretly glanced at the idol in the side hall, but found that the eyes of the idol in the room seemed to be following her movement, and had been staring at her.

The dragon girl's body trembled coldly, and the nails of her hands buckled into the muscles of Hou Yan's arms, causing Hou Yan to let out a cry ......of pain: "Ah!

"Monkey, why do those idols keep staring at us?"

Hou Yan broke free of the dragon girl's nails and looked in the direction the dragon girl was pointing, the god statue was indeed staring at him, sharp and divine, as if it had a soul.

The wind was still blowing, the rain was still falling, the lightning was frequent, the thunder was rolling, and Hou Yan and the two suddenly felt that they were surrounded.

The eagle eye in Hou Yan's eyes automatically scanned the information of the statue, not only analyzing which great god of Taoism was through its image, but also deducing the age of the statue, starting from fifty years, about seventy years, and it was really left from the last century.

As for why the dragon girl felt that the eyes of the idol were constantly moving with her, it was to be felt that the craftsmen who made the idol were highly skilled, and the ingenious craftsmanship made the eyes of the idol full of magical characteristics, and no matter which direction the idol was observed, it would feel that it was looking in its own direction.

On the steps in front of the main hall was a huge incense burner, dark blue, and it was impossible to tell what it was, and even the eagle eye could not analyze its age.

"Let's go into the main temple and take shelter from the rain. ”

The two walked lightly into the main hall, Hou Yan's first reaction was not to observe the layout inside, but to smell a burning smell, and it was very strong, following the direction from which the smell came, Hou Yan walked towards the interior of the main hall, a pile of ashes was left on the ground, emitting light smoke, standing next to it could feel the rest of the heat, it should have just been extinguished.

He crouched down and picked up a piece of warm wood ash with his fingers, not thinking about why there were traces of a fire.

"Uh-huh~" A moan came from behind the idol in the main hall, and the voice was made by a man, and it sounded very painful.

Hou Yan frowned, picked up a flashlight and walked around the back of the statue, the voice became clearer and clearer, turned the corner, and a figure appeared under his light, this person was naked half of his shoulder, a bandage was tied to the exposed arm, lying on the ground and rolling constantly, sweating on his forehead, his lips were white and trembling slightly, and the sound came from his mouth.

"Ghost?" Hou Yan exclaimed.

The dragon girl at the door of the main hall heard Hou Yan's shout, stopped drinking water, hurriedly ran to Hou Yan's side, and saw a ghost lying on the ground in pain.

"It's really a ghost, how could he be here?"

The dragon girl did not hesitate, squatted to the ghost's side, touched his forehead, hot hands, and then saw his arm, the bandage was tied in the middle of the forearm, the palm below was dark red, and the two small holes were at the ghost's wrist, judging by the size, it should have been bitten by a snake.

"Monkey, what's wrong with him, you save him!" The dragon girl is really anxious, although the ghost shadow is just one of her subordinates, but she has also accompanied the dragon girl to do tasks for many years like the lone dragon, and the three of them are like Hou Yan and Ning Langfei and others have a similar relationship, they are a team, and there are feelings in it.

Hou Yan touched the ghost's forehead, picked up the wrist that had been bitten by the snake and looked at it, he liked to spread wild in the mountain bag next to the village since he was a child, and he knew a part about snake bites.

"He was bitten by a poisonous snake, but fortunately, it was not a particularly poisonous snake, it should be Zhu Yeqing, and the wound was also treated, and it was not life-threatening. The summary given by Hou Yan is not very professional, and the analysis of the situation is probably quite accurate.

Hou Yan saw the anxiety in the dragon girl's eyes, and kept wiping the ghost's sweat with his cuffs, took out the water cup and poured the remaining part of the mountain spring water into the ghost's mouth.

"After Zhu Yeqing bites, it is very painful, and he now has a cold and high fever, so he still needs to be treated in time. ”

Crack his mouth open. Hou Yan took out the medicine bottle from his backpack.

The dragon girl obediently broke the ghost's lips, and the blue pill was sent from Hou Yan's hand to the ghost's mouth, and the dragon girl manually helped him raise his head and swallowed the pill, and her pale face instantly turned a lot ruddy.

Before leaving, Ai Qing taught Hou Yan some basic life-saving knowledge, including the effects of these three pills.

Yellow invigorates, red sleeps, and blue clears heat and detoxifies, and now they all come in handy.

The ghost slowly opened his eyes, looked at the dragon girl and Hou Yan in front of him, exhaled a breath of turbidity and fell asleep quietly.

"Ah Ying, Ah Ying, I'm back!"

The lone dragon's shouts came from the doorway of the main hall, and with the sound of hurried footsteps, the drenched lone dragon ran behind the idol, holding a small medical kit full of sludge.

"Huh, you two have come here, and the four of us have finally gathered. ”

The three of them lit a fire in the corner of the main hall, put the ghost lying flat in a sleeping bag, and gathered around the fire to keep warm.

According to Lone Dragon's narration, it turned out that Lone Dragon and Ghost were kicked by Ai Qing to the small square at the bottom of the mountain and did stop, but they were afraid that a snake would catch up, so they walked down a few more steps, but they didn't expect the ghost to slip on the soles of their feet, and rolled down with Lone Dragon, that is, next to the reservoir.

The lone dragon helped the ghost to deal with the wound of the poisonous snake's bite, and waited for a long time to see the arrival of Ai Qing and the dragon girl, thinking that he had gone the wrong way, regardless of the thirty-seven twenty-one, he carried the ghost shadow and walked into the woods, through the woods and the flat land, and came to this Taoist temple, when the two of them walked to the Taoist temple, it had not rained yet.

"Didn't you get into that cycle?" asked the dragon maiden.

"Loops? What loops?"

"It's the cycle of finding the main peak and getting lost. ”

Lone Dragon's eyes widened and he asked blankly, "Why do you want to find the main peak? Isn't our goal to find this temple?"

He didn't think about the main peak at all, so he escaped the catastrophe and came to the Taoist temple smoothly.

The fire that Hou Yan saw was lit by the lone dragon, and the lone dragon left because the ghost was ill, and in order to find the medical kit lost on the road, he left the Taoist temple.

Because it was too dark, he and Hou Yan missed it perfectly, and when the firewood in the main hall was finished, the fire was extinguished by itself, and then it was the process of Hou Yan and the dragon girl discovering the ghost.
