"Squeak—" I was sure it was the little ghost monkey at the familiar sound, but before the joy could continue to brew in my heart, I threw myself into a lake. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Jumping off a cliff, falling into the water at such a height, it was like a depth charge, I felt a churn in my chest, and I couldn't help but vomit blood, but I tried to hold my breath and float to the surface as quickly as possible.

The ghost monkey stood on the shore and waved at me. When I swam to the shore, it reached out and pulled me hard, so that I could really get warm.

"Little ghost monkey, how did you run?" I touched its head, and it blinked twice and squeaked a few times, which I didn't understand anyway.

Sitting on the shore, I tried my best to open my night eyes and look around, the area where I landed was a valley, and below the valley was a dead lake, because the mountain walls around the valley blocked the moonlight, so although the moonlight was bright tonight, the depths of the valley were still dark.

"This is not a place to stay for long, little monkey, let's go." I picked up the monkey and sat it on my shoulder, but he was born to be an idle master, sitting on my shoulder and rummaging through my hair, as if there was salt in my hair.

There was a winding path on the shore of the south side of the Dead Lake, and the intersection was due south, and I couldn't help but wonder if the black-clad purple-eyed man had deliberately let me take me to the cliff and tell me all this.

He said that the third thing is inconvenient to tell me, but let me keep walking south, and I will know, and after I jumped off the cliff, I happened to fall into the lake, and if there were rocks below me instead of the lake, wouldn't I have to throw off the crystal bones when I fell?

After falling into the water, it happened that there was a sheep intestine trail leading to the deep mountains in the south direction of the lake.

The guy must have arranged it for me, and I immediately quickened my pace and said, "Little monkey, hold me tight, don't fall off." ”

After rounding two winding mountain roads, I gradually came to the other side of the mountain, which was built around a mountain, which was equivalent to saying that I was walking in a circle, and every time I reached the south side of the mountain, I could see the bright moonlight.

I don't know how high this mountain is, and the little monkey and I didn't know how high it was until the early hours of the morning, when we faintly saw a temple-like building halfway up the hill. But I'm not sure if that's a temple or not.

When I got closer, this building has the architectural style of the ancient Ming Dynasty, the eaves flow tiles, the roof is located with the statue of the beast, and there are big red lanterns hanging in front of each door, the red lanterns are brighter than the other, and the red cloth is spotless, as if it has just been hung up.

For some reason, I suddenly remembered when I broke the curse of the finger lantern, and it was at that time that the second master, who had been secretly protecting me, finally appeared.

Now that the second master knows the truth about his non-human and non-ghost, he has been in a slump since then, but fortunately, he lives with the uncle in a suit, and he doesn't have to worry about his life in his later years.

The door of this building was very majestic and tall, I went up and knocked on the door, but there was no movement inside, and the little ghost monkey squatted on my shoulder, and reached out to knock on the door like me, and after a moment scratched his head, as if he couldn't understand why no one responded.

I waited quietly for a few minutes. Just when I was about to run out of patience, the red wooden door creaked and opened by itself, and I stretched out my head to look inside, and the courtyard was quiet. Only the red light refracted from the lantern, mixed with the moonlight, shone on my face and that of the ghost monkey.

"Why don't we go in and have a look?" I turned my head to the ghost monkey and said.

The ghost monkey didn't think much of it at all, and jumped right off my shoulder. I hurriedly followed, and as soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard a sentence: "Since you are here, close the door." ”

The voice was so low that I couldn't hear the emotion in his words, but it didn't seem like I was angry, so I nodded, turned around and gently closed the gate in the courtyard, turning my head to find the source of the sound.

In the southwest corner of the courtyard, there is a man in a long robe, carrying a broom to sweep the leaves in the courtyard.

I was stunned for a moment, thinking something was wrong, right?

This courtyard sits halfway up the mountain, and there are no trees overhead, and since there are no trees, where do the leaves fall from? Thinking of this, I deliberately looked up at the top of the mountain, and directly above my head, there was an endless sky dome.

The man lowered his head and swept the leaves, just like he had just said to me. Then I didn't say anything, I stood there helpless, not knowing what to say, and the ghost monkey was a little clever man, constantly scurrying around. I also went to pick up the lantern in front of the courtyard door.

I said, "Friend, we're lost and don't know where to go, can we take a break from you?" ”

I also don't have anything to say, I don't know what to say. The man who was sweeping the floor, still sweeping the floor with his head down, ignored me. I also wondered, thinking that this person is sick, right? I didn't get their consent, and I was embarrassed to go in. I just stood there in a daze, but the ghost monkey came running over and dragged me by the neck to the largest hall.

I whispered to the ghost monkey, "Little monkey, don't make trouble. ”

The monkey didn't pay any attention to the sweeper, but kept pulling me, and at this moment, the sweeper put away the broom, stacked all the leaves together, and turned back to the house, and when he passed by me, I saw his appearance clearly.

This person is about twenty years old, a very delicate young man, with a small hair, wearing a long shirt, and looks like a monk from a distance.

He ignored me. When he passed by me, he didn't look at me at all, and when he returned to the largest hall in the courtyard, an old voice suddenly came from the hall: "Since you are here, then come in." ”

I thought to myself: maybe the young man who swept the floor just now went in and informed the owner, and then the owner agreed to let us in.

Now I pulled the little ghost monkey into the hall, and there was a road paved with python skin in the hall, leading to the depths of the hall, and on both sides of the hall, there were eighteen seats. But the seats were empty, and there was no one on them. Although the whole hall was large, only two candles were lit.

One on the left and one on the right, these two candles could only illuminate the scene, and it was still dark in the corners of the temple.

Entering the hall, the ghost monkey who couldn't be idle for a moment paused, as if there was a kind of murderous intent hidden in the hall, so that this clever ghost monkey was also careful, and it hugged my leg. Be careful.

The deeper I walked into the hall, the more I felt a coldness, and in the middle of the hall, there was a man with gray hair and rags. There is no appearance of fairy wind bones, but it seems that the beggar gang does not know how many bags of elders.

"Sir, my friend and I are in a hurry and have lost our way, can we rest here for the night?" I spoke politely. But the old man sat on the Taishi chair in the middle, half-squinting, not knowing whether he was too lazy to take care of me, or if he was already asleep, which made me wonder. Why doesn't everyone here like to talk?

Strictly speaking, it's not that you don't like to talk, it's just a language barrier, it's a disease, and it has to be cured.

"There are many rooms in the courtyard, but not all of them are suitable for you, you can stay here if you want, go, count the leaves on the willow tree in the backyard, come back and tell me the answer, you can rest here." The old man's speech was neither fast nor slow, but the words he spoke were infuriating.

Doesn't that?

I held back the anger in my heart, although I was young and vigorous, I could not vent my temper at will, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, and I said, "Sir, can you count the leaves on that willow tree?" ”

He nodded and said, "Of course." ”

These words immediately left me speechless, this... I didn't know what to do, but the monkey carefully pulled me into the backyard, as if he didn't want to stay here for any longer.

A moment later, the monkey dragged me to the backyard, and by the red candlelight reflected in the lantern, we found the only willow tree, and the leaves on this willow tree were astonished at the first sight of it.

Not only me, but even the ghost monkey next to me was stunned...
