Kongtong Temple has obviously been tidied up, but some of the moss on the steps and the clutter of tree branches hint at the ruin and desolate nature of the place.

The shadows of the trees fell on the cold stone pavement, as if there were a few human faces hiding in the shadows, and a few hollows were exposed where there should have been eyeballs. As soon as the wind came, the faces of the people on the ground became distorted and terrifying.

The others didn't know where to run for a moment, only Shen Man followed Junya's bald head alone, hesitating. The bald head clasped his hands all the way, bowing his head and walking slowly. Shen Man looked at his bald head from behind, and occasionally asked.

"Little master's legal name?"

"The little monk's name is Yuanyuan."

The corners of Shen Man's mouth twitched, and then he looked at his small broken steps, raised his eyebrows, and quipped, "The little master of Yuanyuan walks very elegantly, just like a woman." ”

Yuanyuan stopped, "The little monk has always been small. ”

Shen Man chuckled, "I don't know if Master Yuanyuan likes to eat chicken?" I think Chenzhou's black feather chicken tastes good, simmered slowly over the old fire, and the fragrance is overflowing. It's that the blood of this black-feathered chicken smells a little fishy, but it is said that it also has the effect of exorcism and evil spirits. ”

Yuan Yuanjun's face darkened, he slowly raised his head, and looked at Shen Man with resentment, "It's black feather chicken blood again, can you threaten in another way?" As he spoke, he took out a small porcelain box from his bosom and smeared something on his face with his tail finger.

In such a dark night, in such a solemn Buddhist place, Shen Man actually saw a bald monk, smearing rouge on his face with twisted movements, even though he knew that it was Lian Yi pretending, but he still couldn't help but feel a handstand.

Yuan Yuan glanced at her and said, "This human skin mask is too bleak, I need to smear some rouge to get some complexion, otherwise people will be dead at first glance, and I am still a master of disguise." ”

When Shen Man heard that it was a human skin mask, his eyes widened and he asked, "Is it really human skin?" ”

"The real human skin was dug up from the place where they were buried last night."

"The coachman who pretended to be the princess's mansion that morning also wore a mask?"

Yuan Yuan raised the corners of his eyes, and said lazily, "Xiaoman, is your eyesight good or that my Dao is tired, you even see the coachman I pretended, it seems that if you want to be an enemy in the future, I need to gouge out your eyeballs first." ”

Shen Man trembled, and said with a smile, "I didn't just see it, but I recognized it through your movements and demeanor." You've already given me a hint that you'll pretend to be someone else to accompany me, so first of all, I'm on the lookout for people around me. Secondly, you are vivid when you pretend to be a coachman, but the problem is that you are a woman who loves cleanliness, so when Ning Tao, who was covered in mud, passed by you, you inadvertently and dexterously dodged it. ”

"What about Yuanyuan, how do you recognize it?" Lian Yi's figure is slender, with beautiful curves, in order to pretend to be a monk before, he stood up straight, but at the moment he was a little lax, under the hazy moonlight, the beautiful curves were faintly outlined through the shabby monk's robes, which was extremely wonderful.

Shen Man squinted his eyes and smiled, "Monks are generally not too handsome, so it's no wonder that you specially pretended to be a handsome monk." And the coachman seemed to disappear later, so I guessed that this sudden appearance of the Jun monk would be you, but I didn't expect it. ”

Lian Yi was suddenly quiet for a while, frowned and said, "Xiaoman, this temple is a little weird. ”

"How weird?" When Shen Man saw that she was suddenly strict, he also became alert.

"I don't know," Lian Yi shook her head and said, "It's just that as soon as I came here, I felt uncomfortable, as if a pair of eyes had been staring at me." ”

Shen Man suddenly asked, "When you came, did you see Master Jingjing?" ”

Lian Yi bowed, "I've seen it, I took the token of the Astronomical Gate, and told him that it was a special envoy specially sent by the imperial court, and I needed to observe this examination in secret and let him cooperate." ”

"That's how he answered?"

"Yes," Lian Yi felt that Shen Man had something to say, so he asked, "What's wrong with this?" ”

Shen Man shook his head and said, "You don't know, Master Jingjing...... A little lustful, if you go to see him as he is, he will definitely pester you, at least verbally. But when you see him, his words are short, and he vaguely wants to send you away, so I think ......"

"What I saw was a fake?!" Lian Yi whispered, "No, that monk looks solemn and mu, and he looks like a high-ranking monk......

Shen Man said, "Maybe I'm thinking too much, when we see Master Jingjing tomorrow, we'll know as soon as we ask." ”

Lian Yi nodded, but suddenly his ears moved, and his body had already swept behind a tree on the side, and he didn't know when he took an extra soft sword in his hand, and straightened it with a "brush", pointing to a black shadow hiding behind the tree.

The black shadow meowed, fur erected all over its body, and its tail cocked. Then the black shadow flashed, and it flew to Lian Yi. Lian Yi didn't expect it to be such a small thing, and he couldn't dodge it, so he felt that there was a warm and soft thing sticking to his face, left and right, and scratched the fake skin on his face.

Shen Man saw that the black cat was gone, so he came over and patted Lian Yi on the shoulder. Lian Yi slowly turned around, and when Shen Man saw it, he was suddenly frightened and took three steps back.

I saw that Lian Yi's outermost layer of skin was half peeled off, hanging on top and swinging around, looking like a human head that had been skinned, and his appearance was very terrifying; The lower part of the face is still crumblingly clinging. Lian Yi's fair face left a few traces of cat scratches, but fortunately it was not deep.

Facing Lian Yi's resentful eyes, Shen Man comforted, "It's okay, you have a thick skin and tenacious vitality, and you will soon be able to recover your beauty like a flower." ”

Lian Yi gritted her teeth and said, "Don't let me catch it!" ”

Shen Man shuddered.

Lian Yi smeared something on his hand, turned his head and tinkered for a moment, then looked back and asked Shen Man sincerely, "What do you think of me?" ”

Shen Man looked at her face embarrassedly, the originally handsome little bald head instantly turned into a scarred face. Helplessly, he held his forehead and looked at the dark moonlight, "The technique is excellent, I can't see it tonight." ”

Lian Yi heard the meaning of the words, and snorted coldly, "I can fix it tonight." ”

Shen Man and her continued to walk forward, and suddenly asked, "You said that the gate supervisor sent you here for other important matters, what is the matter?" ”

"The gate warden suspects that someone is making trouble in this temple, so let me take this opportunity to investigate."

"Is there anyone suspicious?"

"Stupid!" Lian Yidao, "Didn't you say that there is only one monk in this temple, who else can you suspect besides him, do you want to suspect the black cat just now?" Lian Yi paused for a moment and thought carefully, "Speaking of that black cat, why don't I put some food on the ground tomorrow and quench some poisonous ......?"

Shen Man was speechless, "This is a temple, no killing, accumulate virtue and do good." ”

Lian Yi smiled three points and mocked seven points, "It is said that the unlucky bastard in this life is because of the evil you created in your previous life, maybe you killed many cats in your previous life." ”

Shen Man sighed, "After returning to Taige, I will definitely fill a gourd with black feather chicken blood, and take it with me to ward off evil spirits!" ”

Lian Yi rolled her eyes and looked towards the sky, "Just when I didn't say anything." ”

The two of them walked to a slightly bright spot, and saw a quadrangle house, with four wings on each side, a total of three sides, a total of twelve rooms.

Lian Yidao, "The best position is occupied, and the rest is naturally yours." After that, he walked to the side room left for Shen Man, folded his hands, and turned into a male voice very reverently, "Donor, this side room sits in the south and faces north, and there is no light all year round." The walls are overgrown with mushrooms and moss, and rats are nesting. What's even more surprising is that there is a small hole in the roof that has been struck by lightning and can be used by the donor to watch the sky at night. ”

Shen Man's demeanor was surprisingly kind, since she had been locked in the firewood room in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the dilapidated house here naturally couldn't scare her.

Lian Yi diligently pushed open the door for her, and there was a black shadow on the ground inside, and when he saw a little light, he inadvertently dispersed the light. It must be the rat swarm that Lian Yi said.

Shen Man smelled a strange smell, frowned and asked, "There is a strange smell in this house, not a musty smell, but a ......."

Lian Yi nodded with satisfaction, "The donor's nose is not broken, can you see the thatched hut on the side?" That's the only thatched hut in this courtyard...... It is more convenient for the donor to go to the hut at night than others. I'm just worried that some people won't fall down, the little monk heard that many people have drowned here. ”

Shen Man wanted to cry without tears, "Your argument seems to be a tooth woman." ”

Lian Yi's eyes flashed, and he seemed to be smiling, "Then the donor has a good rest, and we will see you tomorrow." ”

Shen Man saw that she was really gone, and looked back at the house, there was a light rain outside, and it was also a light rain inside, so he turned out again. I saw a wing room in the courtyard, the window was slightly open, and the silhouette of a woman was reflected on it. Shen Man hesitated slightly, and then walked towards the wing.
