Chapter 5: Take a gamble
"For now, the only way to do this is to lie to protect yourself. Otherwise, if we sit back and wait to die, Concubine Su will die, and we will die. When we return to the palace, we will slowly figure out a way, which is better than being trapped in the Taoist temple. ”
Lin Xiaojin smiled and nodded, looking innocent.
"But... If this is discovered... It's going to kill your head!"
Lu Zhu's nervous voice trembled, and her face turned pale.
"House arrest in the Taoist temple has no way to live, it's better to gamble!"
Lin Xiaojin made up his mind in his heart.
She wants to reshuffle her life and take it firmly into her own hands.
Lu Zhu nodded after hearing this, there is no way to do it now, anyway, it is dead horizontally and vertically, it is better to gamble.
She is the queen mother's maid, so she should listen to the queen mother in everything.
"Queen Mother, what should we do next? ”
Lu Zhu ran out of ideas and looked at Lin Xiaojin.
"I already have a plan to go to the Hall of Blessing. Lin Xiaojin pursed his lips and looked resolute.
The prayer hall is a temple dedicated to the spirit of the first emperor in the Taoist temple.
The scriptures copied by Lin Xiaojin every day were incinerated before being sent to the spirit tablet of the first emperor in the prayer hall.
*
The chaotic flying snow in the Taoist temple, like catkins, swirls in the air and falls to the ground.
The fine snow fell on the skin, and it was cold.
Lin Xiaojin and Lu Zhu hurriedly walked towards the prayer hall.
The robe that Lin Xiaojin was wearing was already leaking, and as soon as the light snow fell, his body only felt colder.
She was cold, her fingers were cold, she took a deep breath, and trembling reached out to wrap the shabby Taoist robe on her body tightly.
But the sleeves of the robe were still worn like the wind, and her knees shivered with cold.
Seeing Lin Xiaojin's cold look, Lu Zhu showed a distressed look in her eyes, and she leaned on Lin Xiaojin tightly.
"It's too cold this winter, isn't it?"
Lin Xiaojin couldn't help but complain, she sighed and rubbed her palms to warm up a little.
Green Bead froze her teeth and explained with a smile.
"Queen Mother, you don't know, I heard the Taoist priest say that this year, the snow beast has signs of germination, and it has been affected, so the temperature is lower than in previous years, and you can see that even the snow is diligent. ”
On the Lingyun Continent, the West Yao Kingdom is located in the westernmost part, and it is leaning on a large snow abyss at the critical point of the country.
It is frozen all year round and is considered a forbidden place.
It is rumored that a hundred years ago, a group of snow beasts erupted in the depths of the snow abyss.
This spirit beast is extremely powerful, extremely ferocious, and can also disturb the wind direction and climate.
Wherever you go, the snow will not melt all year round, and humans will freeze to death from wind and snow.
The catastrophe of that year was the spiritual energy master of the Western Yao Kingdom and the neighboring Nanxi Kingdom and the Northern Underworld Kingdom, gathering the power of the Three Kingdoms.
The seven grandmasters joined forces to seal the snow beast in the snow abyss.
But unexpectedly, twenty years ago, the seal was loosened for unknown reasons.
Gradually, young snow beasts will run out of the snow from time to time.
Every time a snow beast is active in the snow abyss, the West Yao Kingdom will be affected, and light snow will fall.
But fortunately, the young snow beast is easy to deal with, and it can be cleaned up by sending some spiritual power masters, and there is no big problem.
"I see, I hope nothing happens. ”
Lin Xiaojin raised his eyebrows and smiled, shrinking coldly.
"Queen Mother, don't worry, although there are not many masters in Xiyao on the Lingyun Continent, it is still no problem to deal with the young snow beasts. ”
Lu Zhu squinted and smiled comfortingly, she squeezed Lin Xiaojin's cold hand with both hands to warm up: "Queen Mother, there is the Blessing Hall not far ahead, hurry up and go in to warm up!"
The ground at the entrance of the prayer hall is covered with a layer of fine white snow, which is very clean.
At the entrance of the solemn hall are nine stone steps, and there is some unmelted snow on the steps, which makes it feel clammy and cold when you look at it.
On weekdays, there are six Taoist children standing at the entrance of the prayer hall, three on the left and right, but today I didn't even see a single person.
"Well, that's strange, what about the Taoist boy who is guarding the gate of the prayer hall today?"
Lin Xiaojin frowned suspiciously.
