Chapter 526: Pretending to be a ghost
Leaving a mark along the breeze, Lu Yi caught up smoothly.
Because of the heavy rain, Wanyan Qilin and his party found a place to stay in shelter from the rain, which was a dilapidated land temple.
In the land temple, Wanyan Qilin patted the rain on his body, and the temple was dark, but fortunately, there was still a small pile of dry firewood in it that I didn't know who left there, and it was better to burn than nothing.
"Prince, this rain is estimated to be some time, why don't we rest here for the night?"
Wanyan Qilin subconsciously raised his head and looked at the land god statue that was already covered with cobwebs, faded and dilapidated, and could not see the original appearance.
Ebony Duo followed Wanyan Qilin's gaze and explained, "This is a belief in Cangliang, which is similar to our belief in the wolf god, but I don't know why this temple is dilapidated." ”
The sentry who was stationed with Kuta shrank in the corner and shivered a little, but Wanyan Qilin only thought that he was drenched in the rain and did not delve into it.
"Maybe the people who originally lived here have changed places, which makes this place so dilapidated." After speaking, Wanyan Qilin stepped forward and bowed reverently on the statue of the ruined land.
"Tonight is a sudden rainstorm, we have nowhere to go, take shelter in your realm for the night, please don't mind."
After speaking, Wanyan Qilin took out a piece of dry food from the dry food bag and placed it on the dusty tribute table.
Ebony Duo finished learning Yan Qilin's movements, and also bowed down.
The rainy night was cold, and everyone took out the liquor to keep out the cold, because of the presence of Wanyan Qilin, the others did not dare to be too presumptuous, only whispered, holding the wine jug and drinking one after another.
Wanyan Qilin sat quietly by the fire, not knowing what he was thinking, and the flames reflected a red on his face from time to time.
I don't know when, the voices of the people around me gradually became quieter, and finally there was no sound of talking, which is rare for this group of rough men.
Wanyan Qilin looked up curiously, only to find that they were all staring blankly at the door.
The first to react was Mutu, who jumped up quickly from the ground, pointed to the dense rain curtain outside and shouted, "It's Kuta!" He's back, he's coming back for revenge! We shouldn't have left him there alone! Did you all see it, it's Kuta back! ”
Mutu reacted greatly, pointing to the place where there was nothing in the door and yelling.
Wanyan Qilin frowned, looked at Ebony Duo, and asked with his eyes, Ebony Duo didn't look out of the door just now, so he was also at a loss.
Wanyan Qilin shook his head when he saw her, but he understood the wrong meaning, thinking that she was also a humane Mutu who was making trouble unreasonably, and if he was allowed to shout, it would be easy to disturb the morale of the army.
"What nonsense do you talk in the middle of the night, don't hurry up and rest, if you can't lift your spirits tomorrow, see how I clean you up." Wanyan Qilin grimaced and scolded Mu Tu.
Mu Tu's eyes were full of fear, and after looking at Yan Qilin, he ran out of the door directly after a while.
The people around him tried to hold him down, but he was so fast that he only had time to rip off a corner of his clothes.
Wanyan Qilin was stunned, in such a rainstorm, it is easy to have an accident if you run out like this, and maybe there will be no bones left in the end.
Ebony Duo took someone and was about to go out to bring him back, but he was stopped by Wanyan Qilin after only a few steps out.
"Since he wants to go out, then don't stop him." Wanyan Qilin frowned and looked outside.
It seems that all this happened by some coincidence, but some key nodes could not be strung together, and Wanyan Qilin frowned.
Not surprisingly, Mutu did not return.
The others gradually began to riot, some suggested going out to find it, some said that they would wait until the rain stopped before going out, and finally everyone's eyes looked at Wanyan Qilin.
"Prince, Mutu hasn't come back yet, in case something happens." The man said with some hesitation.
Wanyan Qilin had a cold face, "You don't have to look for it, he has to be responsible for his choice, in this kind of weather, even if ten are sent out to look for him, there will be no result." ”
As he spoke, a figure flashed outside.
"It's Mutu!" Someone shouted.
Wanyan Qilin just turned his back to the door, and he didn't see the flashing figure, he only heard someone shouting, but by the time he turned his head, it was too late.
"Somebody, where." Wanyan Qilin frowned and said.
But the others except him were very excited, pointing to the door and chattering non-stop.
Meng Zi, who had not spoken, opened his mouth, he was relatively old and had always been highly respected, and even Wanyan Qilin had to respect him a little.
"Prince, in my opinion, since the people are outside, it is better to go out and look for them, and even if they still can't find it in the end, the hearts of the brothers will at least feel better."
After Meng Zi finished speaking, everyone agreed.
Two people disappeared in a row, Wanyan Qilin didn't want to agree, but Meng Zidu spoke, plus almost everyone agreed to this idea, even if he didn't want to agree anymore, there was no way at this time, so he had to nod.
usually has a good relationship with Mutu, Kuta and others, so he voluntarily formed a team, and several people walked out in a huddle.
Wanyan Qilin was in the Land Temple, watching a few of them disappear into the rain curtain.
For some reason, he always had a bad premonition in his heart, as if the side just now was already goodbye, and looked around, there were about fifteen people around him, but now there are only eight people.
In the Land Temple, the crumbling Earth Temple suddenly collapsed, overpowering the only flame and the only source of light.
"Prince!" As soon as he returned to darkness, Ebony Duo shouted, and the ground seemed to fall to the ground and brought up a large amount of dust, and Ebony Duo ate a mouthful of dust.
The dust drifted away, Wanyan Qilin stretched out his hand and shook it, coughing a few times, "I'm fine." ”
Wanyan Qilin replied to Ebony Duo, and then spoke into the darkness, "What about the others, are they still there?" ”
In the darkness, the voices of response sounded one after another, and when he heard the familiar voice, Wanyan Qilin breathed a sigh of relief.
With the first experience, this time the fire is particularly skillful, but because it has burned some before, this time the firewood has to be saved, and there is not as much as the last time.
After regaining the light, Wanyan Qilin looked around, but his heart sank suddenly.
The few people who went out just now haven't come back, and another person has disappeared from the Land Temple!
Wanyan Qilin remained silent, and looked around the not big land temple for a week, even the most corner of the place, but there was still no figure.
His gaze was fixed on the statue of the earth that had collapsed on the ground.
