Outside the window, it was getting dark again, and the rain still didn't stop, but it just kept falling. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Inside the house, Duanmu Haoyang's mood was just like the weather outside, gloomy and low.

Now, they had agreed to Tianming's decision to wait here for the demon beasts sent out by the demon clan. Therefore, the thirteen of them waited like this.

Because it was raining outside, they didn't go out of here, but stayed in the inn.

Actually, Tianming is not a very good way, but in the current situation, they have no better way.

It's just that the inn is surprisingly quiet at the moment, and even the shopkeeper, who is at least still there silently observing them, now doesn't know where he has gone, and he is gone.

Duanmu Hao's face was cloudy, and anyone could see that he was in an extremely bad mood.

After a while, Tianming spoke first: "Senior Brother Duanmu, you must know a little better than us here, right?" ”

Duanmu Haoyang raised his head and glanced at Tianming in surprise, as if he was curious why Tianming suddenly asked him, but he couldn't help but answer, so he had to endure the unhappiness in his heart and said: "Actually, I haven't been here either, but I've only occasionally heard Master mention it, and I don't know very well." ”

"Oh, that's right." Tianming said, with a slight disappointment in his tone.

"That shopkeeper should be familiar with it, right?" Wu Yue suddenly reminded him.

"That's right, the shopkeeper looks like a local, and he must know the situation in this Miao village very well." Feng Yufeng also said.

After their reminder, Tianming suddenly remembered the existence of the shopkeeper, but none of them seemed to speak Miao Chinese. He had no choice but to ask: "Senior brothers, which of you can speak Miao, can you call the shopkeeper over, I have something to ask him." ”

Everyone shook their heads, only Duanmu Haoyang nodded.

Tianming said happily: "Then it will trouble Senior Brother Duanmu." ”

Duanmu Haoyang's face was expressionless, but he changed to a language that others couldn't understand, probably Miao language, and said, "Shopkeeper." ”

After a while, the Miao man, the shopkeeper of the inn, walked from behind the inn, walked to everyone's side, and asked, "Guest officer, is there something wrong?" ”

Tianming couldn't understand what he said, so he had to ask Duanmu Haoyang to translate temporarily.

"Just ask." Duanmu Haoyang said.

"Are you ordinary outsiders here?" Tianming asked.

Then Duanmu Haoyang repeated it in Miao language and said it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why Tianming suddenly asked this question, but Miao people were so simple and didn't think much about it, just replied honestly: "No, few outsiders come." ”

"So, who are you in charge of here?" Tianming asked again.

The Miao man pointed to the tallest building outside the door and said, "You all saw that, right?" ”

Tianming asked, "Is it the spire-like house?" ”

"Hmm,"

The shopkeeper nodded, and said: "Our entire Miao village is under the control of the gray patriarch, and the patriarch lives in the temple. ”

"Temple?"

Tianming muttered, Wu Yue was beside him, and he happened to hear him talking to himself, and then asked, "What temple?" ”

Tianming looked at Wu Yue and said, "He said that the tallest house in that village is the temple of their Miao people, and their patriarch is in it. ”

"Oh," Wu Yue nodded.

"Senior brothers, we have arrived here, we must go and see the master of this place. We'll go and meet their patriarch in a moment. Tianming said to everyone.

Everyone nodded and said, "Okay." ”

After asking what he wanted to ask, Tianming let the shopkeeper go down.

After tidying up casually, everyone was about to go to the tallest house, but before they could go out, they were stopped by a person who suddenly broke in.

"I'm not too late, am I?" The man said.

Everyone was stunned, and it wasn't until that person raised his head and looked at them that they suddenly realized that this person was Li Yang of Zixiao Palace who had to chase the demon beast as the three female brothers of Zixian Spirit Island said before.

"Senior Brother Li," Tianming shouted.

"Senior Brother Tianming, senior brothers, don't come unharmed." Li Yang saluted everyone and said.

"Senior Brother Li, are you okay?" Tianming hurriedly asked.

"Haha,"

Li Yang laughed, "Senior Brother Tianming, don't worry, that demon beast can't help me." ”

Tianming smiled: "Since Senior Brother Li is fine, it is the best." It just so happened that we were about to go to the patriarch of this Miao village to find out some information, so Senior Brother Li should go with us. ”

"Okay, let's go." Li Yang replied.

After speaking, he walked behind Tianming and stood with Feng Yufeng. Among all the people here, only Feng Yufeng had the best relationship with him, and the two of them laughed from time to time, not knowing what they were discussing.

Out of the inn, you can see that the tall temple stands tall in the entire Miao District, as if echoing with the surrounding mountains.

In fact, this temple is not particularly high, at least in the Central Plains, there are many buildings taller than it in the north. It's just that most of the houses built by the Miao people living here are not high, so it seems that the temple in the middle is very high.

The group walked out into the street and went straight in the direction of the temple. Because the location of the temple is so obvious, it doesn't take much trouble to see it. At the moment, it is raining lightly, there are few pedestrians on the street, and most of them are wearing local umbrellas, only their group, there is no umbrella, and they are still wearing Han costumes, so they can't help but arouse the curiosity of the people around. It's just that those ordinary Miao people don't know that cultivators like them have long been invulnerable, even if the rain drops on them, it will be bounced away or simply evaporated by the true qi surrounding them, and it will not really fall on them, let alone wet their clothes.

Everyone walked through a straight street, and then bypassed a few winding alleys, and finally arrived at the temple that countless Miao people yearn for.

Standing at the door of the temple, everyone also found that this temple is indeed quite high, similar to the tower in the Central Plains, but the difference is that the higher the building, the smaller it is, and the lower it is not much different from ordinary houses, the more it goes to the top, the smaller it becomes, and it is getting sharper and sharper, like inserting a huge needle tip in the roof. It was the first time for everyone to see such a strange building, and they were a little curious for a while.

There were two Miao people standing at the entrance of the temple, and it seemed that they should be guards or something.

They also saw Tianming and his party, and said a few words in their mouths. Although the crowd did not understand, they also guessed that it should be something like an inquiry.

"Senior Brother Duanmu, what did they say?" Tianming asked, they are here, and only Duanmu Haoyang can understand.

"They asked us who we were and told us not to come near here." Duanmu Haoyang said.

"Then please ask Senior Brother Duanmu to tell them that we are disciples of the Four Great Sects of the Central Plains, and we have come to find their patriarch, hoping that they can report it." Tianming said again.

Duanmu Haoyang, an outstanding disciple of the Primordial Sect, actually became an errand runner, and he was naturally reluctant in his heart, but it was not easy to refuse, so he went to talk to the two guards after all.

After some conversation, one of the guards glanced at the crowd, turned and opened the door and entered the temple, leaving them waiting at the door.

After a while, the guard who had just gone in to report ran out, said a few words to Duanmu Haoyang, and then opened the door of the temple and made a tidy up for inviting in, it seems that there should be no problem.

Duanmu Haoyang turned around and said to everyone, "Let's go, you can go in." So saying, he walked in first, and the people followed him and walked in as well.

When you enter the gate, you will see a huge statue of the god, until you reach the top of the temple, which is only one floor, and it was built so high that it is probably to be able to put down this huge stone statue.

It's just that compared to the undivided stone statue that Tianming saw at the bottom of Yunmengze Lake, this stone statue of the Miao people is not big.

Everyone looked up and saw that the stone statue actually had three heads on its neck, the middle one was hideous and terrifying, and the other two heads were expressionless and could not see joy and anger. There are six arms on the back, two of which are holding a white snake, and there is a giant tiger under his feet, which looks very powerful.

And under the stone statue, in front of everyone, kneeling sat a gray-haired old man. It's not cold now, but he's wrapped in thick clothes.

He is the person in charge of Miao Village, the patriarch of Xijiang Miao Village.

Tianming took the first step and was about to ask Duanmu Haoyang to say hello to the old man, but the old man suddenly spoke, "Everyone, I don't know what you are doing here?" ”

This is pure Chinese, and without Duanmu Haoyang's translation, everyone can hear it very clearly.
