The next day, as soon as the sun rose, the baked cake shop was already open, and Zhang Tian and Slender Zifan simply ordered breakfast at this shop. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After looking at the store, there were no customers coming to the door at this time, and the couple had just woken up, got up and hurried out, but the man in blue was indeed missing. Zhang Tian searched all the places he could find in the baked cake shop, but he couldn't find any trace of the man in blue. The two of them hastily finished breakfast and left the baked cake shop.

The two of them walked down the street, wandering casually. Zhang Tian is still very interested in the streets of Tianhua City, take a look here, and quietly over there. The accompanying thin man pretended to stop in front of each stall to see what was being sold, but in fact he was quietly observing the buildings and crowds around him. Every time he crossed, the thin man would find a place to stop and rest for a while.

Finally, Zhang Tian couldn't help but complain: "Brother Fan, can you not always sit down and rest after walking for a while." It's not very tiring, it's rare to come to this Tianhua City, and it's not enough to have fun. Fan did not respond to Zhang Tian's complaints, sat on a small rock, and looked left and right to himself.

Zhang Tian saw that the thin man had become a stuffy gourd now, and he was no longer bored, and it happened that there was a pastry shop next to him when he was resting, and Zhang Tian stood up and sold pastries.

Zhang Tian looked at these different pastries carefully and asked the store price: "Store, how are these sold?" ”

"Oh. Here's five cents, here's seven cents, and here nine cents. ”

"What flavors are they?"

"These five coins have red grass and the smell of mantis. The seven coins are mung bean, foot flower, lotus, honey flower flavor. The taste of the nine-dollar is the same as that of the seven-dollar, but the nine-dollar one is larger. ”

Zhang Tian looked at these pastries and hesitated, he really didn't know what flavor to eat. Seeing the thin man who was still in a fugue state, Zhang Tian kicked the thin man: "What kind of taste does Brother Fan eat?" ”

The thin man replied without raising his head: "Nine coins of honey flower flavor." ”

Zhang Tianyi pursed his lips and muttered: "If you ask you, the food will be strong, and it will be the most expensive." As he spoke, Zhang Tian took out eighteen copper coins and handed them to the store: "Two honey flowers for nine coins." ”

"Okay." As he spoke, the shopkeeper quickly wrapped two in coconut leaves and handed them to Zhang Tian: "Take it, if it's delicious, come back next time." ”

The thin man took a bite of the honey cake handed over by Zhang Tian, and nodded with enjoyment: "This is delicious, and the taste and texture are in place." After eating a bite of honey flower cake, the thin man stood up: "Let's continue to the front and take a look, there are no valuable clues here." ”

Zhang Tian followed: "Anyway, why do you take a break for a while, what are you doing?" ”

"Of course I have a purpose. Of course it's for..."As soon as he started to say this, the thin man suddenly stopped.

"What are you doing this for, say?" Zhang Tian walked and watched and listened, and suddenly the thin man stopped halfway through his words, and he also stopped and patted the thin man and asked.

The thin man didn't answer, he stood in place, but his eyes kept swimming. Zhang Tian saw the thin man's rapidly moving eyes, and waved his hand in front of the thin man's eyes curiously: "Hey, are you okay?" What are you looking at, or something is wrong with your eyes. ”

The thin man opened Zhang Tian's waving hand with a "snap": "Don't make trouble, I found a good idea, follow me." With that, the thin man had already rushed out. Zhang Tian grabbed the back of the thin man and followed, the place he is in now is a place with many people, if he doesn't keep up, it will be troublesome if he gets separated.

followed Fan through a few streets and countless alleys, so that Zhang Tian forgot how to follow the route. Along the way, there were fewer and fewer people along the street, and there were fewer people walking around. Although Zhang Tian has been staring at the thin man, he still sees the changes in the surroundings, and now Zhang Tian's location is completely different from the street where they were wandering before, whether it is the building or the living environment of people, clothing and food.

Along the way, the buildings became more and more simple, the clothes worn by people became more and more coarse, the roads were bumpy, and people's lives became no longer vulgar, but real.

In the end, the thin man still stopped, Zhang Tian thought that Fan would keep running like this, but he didn't expect it to stop so suddenly. Zhang Tian slowed down and ran to the side of the thin man, put one arm on the shoulder of the thin man, and gasped: "I said, why did you suddenly run, why did you suddenly stop here?" ”

The thin man stood up straight, looked at Zhang Tian, and suddenly laughed evilly: "Xiaotian, your breath is very insufficient!" Is it that you haven't exercised in normal times, or are you playing with little girls every day? ”

Zhang Tianyi pushed the thin man away: "What kind of breath is insufficient, I haven't shown my strength." This is called hiding strength, I am preventing any emergencies from happening later, and I can't use too much strength on this first. ”

"Yes. I didn't exercise well, I didn't have enough breath, and what I said made so sense. As soon as he said this, Zhang Tian's face darkened, and he hugged Zhang Tian: "You kid, how old are you this year?" ”

Zhang Tian thought for a while: "There must be nineteen." ”

The thin man nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, nineteen only." It's been such a long journey with me, and I haven't lost it yet, yes, it's already considered superior among young men who don't have the power of the man. Don't pay attention to what my brother said just now, my brother can't run so far at your age. ”

Seeing that the thin man said this, Zhang Tian didn't care about what he said just now: "Why did you come here, what information are we here to find?" What can be found in this dilapidated land temple? Zhang Tian looked around, except for a somewhat dilapidated land temple, there was only barren grass left.

The thin man also pointed to the land temple in front of them: "You are right, it is this land temple, we may find it when we go in." Do you want to go in? Zhang Tian looked at this land temple hesitantly: "This, except for some homeless people, who else can be here." The information we are looking for must be unknown to the civilians, and we can only wait in places frequented by soldiers, so that we may hear something. ”

"I didn't say I wouldn't go, we came here first to prepare for the future, and we know a lot of information here." Saying that, the thin man walked towards the Land Temple.

Zhang Tian shook his head: I've been running for dozens of miles, and it will take a long time to go back, so just go in, and find a place to rest. After deciding, Zhang Tian also thought about the gate of the Land Temple. There are weeds around the land temple, and they are all particularly vigorous weeds, all of which have reached the calf. But in this place where weeds regrow, there are still a few paths. These trails are made by people over and over again, not the kind of roads that are paved.

Zhang Tian also saw that many of the weeds on the side of these roads had been trampled off, and the broken branches and leaves had fallen on the roads that had not grown anything, and the creases of these broken branches were still very fresh, so it was obvious that there were people who had walked these roads.

In front of the Land Temple, Zhang Tian looked at the gate of the entire Land Temple. This is a split mahogany door, the door is closed, although it is tattered from a distance, but a closer look, only to find that these are just the wall falling off, in fact, the entire land temple is intact. In particular, this gate is tightly closed, and there is no crack in the door inside, which shows that the maintenance of the gate has not stopped.

The thin man stood at the door and knocked on the door a few times: "Open the door." There was no movement inside, and the thin man knocked on the knocker again: "Open the door, I have something to ask for at the door." There was still no movement inside, and the thin man knocked on the knocker again: "We are friends of Elder Hua, and we are here to greet us." ”

This time, there was finally a response inside: "But there is evidence to show it." When the thin man heard this, he took out a small bag from the bag, and Zhang Tian saw that it was given to the thin man by Uncle Ma before leaving. The thin man stuffed the pouch through the crack under the door, but there was still a trace of the rope on the pouch outside. Soon, the exposed rope was pulled in, and the obvious bag was taken. After a while, Zhang Tian heard the sound of someone walking inside, followed by the sound of "click, click" opening the door.

When the door opened, Zhang Tian understood why the thin man would say that he could also find out some news here. Zhang Tian followed the person who opened the door into the land temple. Walking inside, Zhang Tian was really surprised. The statue of the earth god is spotless, there is not a trace of weeds on the ground, and the stone slabs laid on the ground are neatly aligned with no obvious signs of breakage. Looking around, there are twenty-four pillars erected inside the land temple, and on both sides of the main hall are the strips that used to be used when people came to pray.

The person who opened the door walked in front without speaking, Zhang Tian and the thin man walked silently behind, and when the two followed to the back of the stone statue in the main hall, the thin man's eyes lit up, and Zhang Tian looked at everything in front of him curiously.
