From the mouths of these two little boys, Yu Xiaocao had a general understanding of this dynasty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info (no way, her history is a mess, for the Ming Dynasty only "Zhu Yuanzhang", "Zheng He went to the West", and "anti-Qing and Ming" simple impressions!) At this time, Sinochem has achieved unprecedented development in terms of economy, culture, science and technology, and is one of the most powerful countries in the world. Diplomatically, it maintained exchanges with many Western countries, especially after the opening of new shipping routes, the Kingdom of Portugal sent a mission to visit China in the seventh year of Zhengde and landed in Guangzhou. The emperor gladly agreed to let them come to Guangzhou every year for the winter, and allowed them to build foreign houses and houses, which deepened the exchanges with the Kingdom of Portugal and absorbed the advanced knowledge of the West, and it has been four years now.

However, the emperor of the dynasty, that is, the tenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao, was a faint monarch, and under his rule, the life of the people was not very easy. In some remote areas, hunger is everywhere, but no one cares. In addition, the religious beliefs of this era were very chaotic, and Buddhism, Taoism, shamanism, Islam, and Catholicism collided and intersected on the land of China, so that the believers who originally believed in the ancient gods converted to other sects. The temple courtyards of these ancient gods are cold. The situation of those immortals in the heavenly court is better than that of the ancient gods, but it is not much better, that is, the gap of "fifty steps and a hundred steps".

Therefore, when Caiyi brought a plate of yellow steamed buns to Yu Xiaocao's house, Yu Xiaocao looked incredulous.

She picked up her chopsticks and carefully poked the steamed bun, which looked hard as a stone, but she didn't pick it up after all.

After listening to the two boys talk about their situation and being in such a dilapidated temple, she was mentally prepared, but she still couldn't accept it. Hey, in comparison, the cabbage and potatoes she used to eat in the orphanage were simply delicious!

"Won't you eat some, Lord God? You are mortal, flesh and blood, and if you don't eat, you'll die. It's been a long time since there's a fire in the temple, but I'm afraid that your mortal body will be uncomfortable eating raw and cold things, so it took a lot of effort to make a fire, and the steamed buns were hot, and they were brought to you just out of the pot. Caiyi stood on tiptoe, reached the plate of steamed buns on the table with her little hand, and handed it to Yu Xiaocao.

Yu Xiaocao pinched the chopsticks, listened to the immature voice of the child, and saw her small actions in her eyes, and couldn't help but be moved.

Although grateful for Caiyi's hospitality, Yu Xiaocao didn't know about the steamed buns on this table. In modern times, it is extremely cheap, but here, it is extremely precious.

As I said earlier, today's temples are different from the past.

Now, there are very few pilgrims at the Nuwa Temple. In the past, when the incense in the temple was prosperous, there was no spare space in the incense burner for the late pilgrims to offer incense. But now, the stove with a few sticks of incense is lonely in the middle of the temple, and it seems that he is also nostalgic for the scenery of the past.

The steamed buns on this plate are the intentions of an old woman who often comes to offer incense to the god Nuwa. Because it has been two or three days on the desk in front of the statue, it is inevitable that it will be blown dry by the wind, but the weather is not hot now, and it will not be rancid.

In the past, the hearts of the pilgrims were offered, and the two boys would quietly send them to the poor people. Don't underestimate the power of this steamed bun, it will allow a beggar on the verge of starvation to survive for one more day, let the wandering woman not sell herself for food, and give the child whose parents died one more hope of survival. But the power of a steamed bun is limited. The only thing that two boys can take out is steamed buns, and beggars, women, and orphans can't make a living from this steamed buns every day, so today they are lucky to get steamed buns, so what about tomorrow? There is no guarantee that they will have something to eat tomorrow.

This is the dynasty in which Yu Xiaocao lives - a dynasty that eats people and does not spit out bones.

Caiyi's smart eyes flickered and looked at Yu Xiaocao, just like an innocent child, and she couldn't tell that she was a little fairy who had existed for thousands of years.

Yu Xiaocao thought about Caiyi's clumsy appearance of making a fire, and couldn't bear it, and the chopsticks in his hand were a little tighter.

No matter how she wears colorful clothes, she is a child, and she really can't help but let a child take care of her.

Besides, in this lonely temple, it seems that she and these two boys are left, they don't care about her background, they don't dislike her as a mortal, they obey her as the master, give her a place to live, and take care of her food, clothing, shelter and transportation without regrets, how much hope is placed on her! She doesn't want to be as powerful as the god Nuwa, and now what she wants is not to live up to the hearts of these two children.

"Hehe, I'll eat, I'm starving to death." After speaking, she picked up the steamed bun and sent it to her mouth, and took a big bite hard, and her mouth immediately bulged, but she didn't forget to speak, "Well, it's so delicious, thank you Caiyi!" "Eyebrows fluttering.

Caiyi was amused by her and giggled. This smile seemed to be infectious, which made Yu Xiaocao's mood much lighter, and he smirked "hey, hey, hey". The strange estrangement between the two seemed to disappear all at once, replaced by the warmth rising from the bottom of their hearts.

Yu Xiaocao was also really hungry, she had been in a coma for three days and three nights before, and the particles had not entered, even if the unpalatable things reached her mouth at the moment, they became extremely delicious.

"This steamed bun isn't as unpalatable as it looks!" Thinking like this in her heart, a steamed bun was quickly eliminated by her, and she immediately devoured two more before she felt her body ease up.

Her body gained strength, and her head began to function again, and Yu Xiaocao remembered the words that Feng Lixi whispered in her ear - that mysterious additional condition.

"There is an ancient demon sealed in my temple, I hope you will take it under the seat, and I will help you become a god in the future."

Feng Lixi said that there were monsters in her temple, but Yu Xiaocao woke up and didn't see it until now, could it be that she was locked in some secret prison?

"Caiyi, the great god Nuwa said that there are monsters in this temple, where are they? I must hurry up and subdue him, otherwise with the three of us women and children who are weak and weak, how can we survive in this world! ”

Although Caiyi is a god and does not need to think about survival, he did not refute Yu Xiaocao's words. It's not because Yu Xiaocao is the owner, she can't commit it, but she was unconsciously attracted to this girl, how to describe that trait? Yes, approachable and nervous.

She nodded, but stopped talking.

This monster is not so easy to tame, and I have seen it once, and I still remember it vividly. He has sharp fangs, a bloody mouth, and a single wave of his claws can kill people. Thinking of the appearance of the monster, Caiyi couldn't stop trembling.

Perhaps this mysterious girl really had some way to submit him.

In addition to being frightened, she inexplicably had confidence in Xiaocao.

"Yes, I'll take you there."

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

The temple has only two or three simple huts, how many houses can be built on the cliff in the place where the eggs are tired and the palm is big? One of the slightly larger rooms is the temple statue hall, and the other is Yu Xiaocao's current residence. The other hut is the kitchen, which has been basically deserted because it has not been used for many years, and now it is so neat and tidy, and it is still cleaned up and cleaned in order to facilitate the food for Yu Xiaocao.

Caiyi led her to the hall of the gods, pointed to the statue of Nuwa and said, "That monster, I met him once in ancient times, so I don't know him very well. But I've heard the god Nuwa say that he's trapped in the wall behind the idol. ”

Is it? I can't see it. This dilapidated house looks like it's in disrepair, but I didn't expect a wall to trap a monster? Isn't this monster lethal in the first place?

Caiyi stopped at the threshold, not daring to approach, and at this moment, Yu Xiaocao's attention was on the wall, and he didn't notice it at all.

"Lord God, be careful, he's fierce!" Caiyi reminded in horror.

Yu Xiaocao smiled back indifferently and said, "It's okay, my life is hard!" Then he walked on, round the idol, and approached the wall to take a closer look.

This wall doesn't look strange, but are there really youkai in it?

She sold her body, mind and soul to Nuwa, and finally escaped death, and was able to go to the Ming Dynasty to survive, and was ready to show her skills and do a great job, so she attached great importance to this first challenge.

With that in mind, she reached out and wanted to caress the wall.

The moment the hand touched the wall, the little snake in the palm of the hand suddenly emitted a temperature, and the surrounding environment suddenly disappeared!

What's going on?!

In an instant, she was in another place!

This place seems to be a cave, but it is a crystal clear, white cave that seems to be in a huge piece of jade. There were no candles in the cave, and it was very bright.

Wow! She's going rich!

Yu Xiaocao was stunned.

She had to find a way to bring a piece of the jade chisel down and bring it back!

"Oh my God! You treat me well! Hahaha! She laughed happily in the hole.

Demonic laughter produces repeated echoes, one after the other.

"Shut up." Coldly, a magnetic baritone sounded in her ears, with a kind of arrogance that reigned over the world.

Frightened, Yu Xiaocao turned around suddenly, but he didn't see anyone.

Huh? What about people? That voice sounds right next to you.

"Is there ~people~~" She raised her neck and shouted.

But no one paid attention to her at this moment, and the only thing that echoed in the cave was her dolphin voice.

Well? Is there really no one here? She also wanted to inquire about the monster.

She doesn't give up, and although she doesn't have ears to the wind, she's not deaf either. As soon as she heard it clearly, the sound was coming from her ear, right next to her neck, giving her goosebumps all over her body. You can't go wrong with this feeling, it's not her YY coming out.

Could it be that the man is a shy and handsome guy, and when he saw her so beautiful, beautiful, and loved, he was so shy that he hid?

With such a thought in her heart, she couldn't help but snicker.

"I know you're hiding nearby, hehe. I don't mean anything but want to ask you about the yokai. If you can help me, I will definitely repay you. ”

After saying that, the cave was still quiet, and still no one appeared.

"Really, I'm talking to Xiaocao."

There was still silence.

Just when Xiaocao decided to give up and look for the monster on her own, the voice suddenly sounded again, as if it was close to the end of the day.

"How are you going to repay it?"

This can make Yu Xiaocao speechless.

She has no money, no power, and no power, what will she use to repay others? She looked down at herself, and her heart couldn't help but feel sad.

Hey, it seems that only one of you can barely be regarded as a thank you gift now.

However, she is reluctant to promise each other, what if the other party is extremely ugly? Otherwise, why keep hiding. Besides, he probably didn't know anything about youkai at all. Yu Xiaocao is not smart, but he is not so stupid and will not make loss-making trades.

She tentatively asked, "Did you know there's a youkai sealed here?" ”

But there was silence again, and the voice disappeared again.

See, his heart is empty, and he really doesn't know anything.

Yu Xiaocao strengthened the judgment in his heart.

Since there is no extra effective information, the next step is to rely on yourself.

She looked around and saw that the cavern was endless, spreading forward until it became a small dot in her sight.

Is there the end?

Yu Xiaocao took a few steps forward, her eyes wide to make out the recognition.

She rubbed her eyes.

That's right? There seemed to be something moving at the end. It could be a youkai!

Finally appeared.

Yu Xiaocao immediately raised his leg and ran to the end.

The dots in front of me are getting bigger and bigger, and the line of sight is getting clearer and clearer.

Finally ran to the end, it turned out that at the end was a slightly more open cavern, inside the wall was hanging a red lantern, the fire candle flickered and danced, and it was the moving unknown object that Yu Xiaocao saw before. She was a little disappointed, she didn't expect to run so far but she was deceived by a lantern, and she almost ran out of breath. Tired and sad, he leaned over and held his knees and panted.

"It's a mortal."

Without warning, the voice rang out again, full of contempt and disdain.

Unlike the previous two times, this time the voice was much softer, not coming from the ear, it sounded not far from the right hand side!

Yu Xiaocao raised his head when he heard the sound. Her screams followed.
