After the scorching heat of noon, the people in Jiuhua County cleaned up the fatigue of the day and came out leisurely to enjoy the coolness.

The quiet street market during the day gradually became more crowded, and the small vendors on both sides shouted desperately, attracting the attention of passers-by on the street, including Zhao An, who hurried to chase and kill the evil cultivator.

Walking in the market, Zhao An was really dazzled, his eyes looked at the fresh gadgets on both sides, and his hurried footsteps slowly put down, and he liked this kind of place with a strong human touch.

He grew up in Ling Jianmen since he was a child, and he had a lazy temperament like Zhao Lan, and his biggest hobby every day was lying down and reading some fairy and monster pamphlets, and he rarely went out.

As for the Yunhai Sect, due to the threat of survival, he also cultivated hard in his cave every day, and there was almost no chance to go down the mountain, and now he really stepped into the lively bazaar of the mortal world, his feet were instantly caught, and his eyes couldn't see it at all.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Zhao An paused and stopped in front of a stall, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"This little brother, my immortal books are definitely the latest, if you like it, buy a copy and take a look. Seeing Zhao An pause, the vendor who sold things immediately stood up and enthusiastically handed Zhao An a few booklets of fairies and monsters.

"This book is about the fox fairy, this book is about the young Edgeworth who eventually became a generation of heroes, and that book is about the story of the Taoist priest catching ghosts...... Anyway, whatever you want to see, I've got it all. ”

Zhao An's eyes lit up, and he swept to a half-faded beauty painted on the cover, covered with a thick and luxurious fox skin, with charming eyes like silk, red lips slightly opened, and the heart of the person who looked at it was it, but it was the novel that described the fox fairy.

"The guest officer wants this?"

There was a wicked smile in the peddler's eyes, he had been selling books here for many years, and he knew what a teenager of Zhao An's age liked the most.

"Yes. Saying that, Zhao An took the Taoist priest's booklet of catching ghosts in his hand again, flipped through it at will, and was very satisfied with the evil ghosts and monsters drawn in the booklet, and took out a tael of silver from his arms and put it in the hands of the vendor.

"Buy two copies first, and if they look good, I'll buy them later." ”

"Guest, you, you have given too much, I can't ask you for money. The hawker held the heavy silver in both hands, looked at Zhao An with a bitter face, and looked at Zhao An aggrievedly.

Zhao An smiled slightly and said, "Okay, in addition to buying your two books, I have one more thing to ask you, if you answer well, the rest of the money will be regarded as a reward for you." ”

The peddler's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said enthusiastically, "Guest officer, you can ask casually, as long as I know, I will definitely tell you." ”

"How do you get to the Lotus Pond Land Temple in Jiuhua County?" Zhao An asked.

"Lotus Pond Land Temple ?!!"

The peddler was stunned for a moment, then his face turned bitter again, and he frowned and said, "The lotus pond is only a hundred meters to the east, but what kind of land temple, I really don't know ......."

"It doesn't matter, I am very satisfied with what you answered, and I will reward you with the silver. ”

Zhao An was laughed at by the hawker's sad appearance, the place where the evil cultivator was hiding must be extremely hidden, and he didn't expect to ask the location of the Land Temple from the mouth of the peddler, so he turned around and walked in the direction of the lotus pond at the moment.

"Thank you, guest!"

The peddler shouted at Zhao An's back, "I'll keep it for you next time I have a good book!"

After walking for less than half an hour, Zhao An walked to a city wall again, and there were two words written on the top of the ancient city, "Lotus Pond".

Gently touched his chin, I always thought that the lotus pond was a pond full of lotus flowers, and the lotus pond land temple was just a small temple next to the lotus pond, but I didn't expect that this lotus pond turned out to be a town.

Lotus Pond City is not big.

After his divine sense gently dispersed, Zhao An's gaze shrank and condensed on the northwest of the lotus pond.

Far away, there is a cloud of black gas faintly wrapped around it, it looks quite strange, it is only afternoon at this time, there is still some time before the night, and the streets are quite lively with people coming and going.

Zhao Anxin thought slightly, turned around and walked to a tavern close to him, planning to have a glass of wine to inquire about the situation, and wait until the dead of night to do it.

The tavern wasn't huge, it only had two floors in total, and you could easily see everything when you looked up. The hall was almost full of people, the hot and smoky drunkenness and the smell of wine were steaming, and the crowd of people were eating the food on the plate together, pushing the cups and turning the lamps to see quite leisurely!

Although Zhao An didn't like to drink, he was very fond of this atmosphere, although there was no separate empty table in the tavern, but Zhao An still picked a table with fewer people to sit down, asked for a pot of wine, and listened to the conversation of the other people in the tavern.

"It's really strange how I see that there are fewer and fewer women in the town, and there are a bunch of men walking down the street, it's really boring. ”

At the big table on the first floor, there were seven or eight strong men sitting together, seemingly familiar with each other.

"As long as you look like a hungry ghost all day long, what woman is not afraid to see you?"

In the scolding voice, everyone laughed and joked again, although the surrounding environment was chaotic, but Zhao An had great sense after all, and it was quite easy to distinguish the content of the voice in these noises.

The wine in this tavern is not good, and it is even a little spicy, which cannot be compared with the wine that Su Wenyao and they secretly took out, but it is full of stamina, and the face is red when the amount of wine is not good.

Zhao An only drank half a pot, and his face turned red. He was already drinking a narrow amount, and he didn't want to use his spiritual power to get rid of his drinking power, but he was really a little drunk at this time.

Just when Zhao An was a little dizzy, suddenly a person's words caught his attention.

"I've heard that the temple is haunted, and it's very strange! Every now and then I can hear the cries of women and babies. The old man who played the watch again puffed up the courage to go in and see, guess so? There was no one in the temple, it was very empty, what do you say is not haunted?"

Zhao An put down the wine glass, and saw that on the big table just now, a big man was holding a wine bowl, and his face was full of palpitations.

Although Dahan was afraid, the people around him were interested one by one and pricked up their ears to listen.

"Don't be scary, there are no ghosts in this world at all, you must be bluffing. Dahan's companion was unimpressed, and also expressed the thoughts of many listeners.

"Scary?"

Dahan glared at his companion who spoke, and said, "Let's not talk about Lao Song, the people who used to live next to the Land Temple have now moved away, and it is said that every night you can hear the wailing sound coming from inside, which is extremely terrifying, and even the people from the government have come." ”

"The people from the government have gone, what does the government say?" more and more people walked to the big table in the center with their wine glasses and asked suspiciously.

"It's really strange to say, those servants, like the old Song who beat the watch, obviously heard the cries of women and children outside, but after entering the Land Temple, they still couldn't see anything, it was an empty temple, and the crying rang for most of the night before stopping. ”

"Do you know what's even more mysterious? that day, it was clear that there were fifteen officials who entered the Land Temple, but when they finally came out of it, there were only thirteen!"

"And what about the remaining two?"

"Gone. ”

"What?!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately lost their composure, and even his companion, who was still questioning Dahan just now, was shocked, and the wine in the cup almost didn't spill.

"Among the people on duty that day was my cousin, and he said that he could see clearly, and when they went in that day, there were obviously fifteen people, but when they came out, two of the youngest seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and they almost turned the earth temple upside down without noticing. Dahan put down his wine glass, there was a hint of palpitations on his face, if it weren't for the fact that there were people all around him at this moment, and they were all men with strong yang energy, he wouldn't dare to say these things.

"Later, someone spread that there must be an immortal family who went down to the mortal to cultivate in the temple, but he didn't want to be disturbed by mortals several times, and then he became angry, so he arrested two people as punishment. ”

When everyone heard this, they all felt hairy in their hearts, and a layer of cold sweat couldn't help but rise on their backs.
