Chapter 54: The Temple
Although the old man walked tremblingly, his steps were not slow at all. No matter how Qin Shaoyan and the others sped up, they could never catch up with the old man, so they could only follow behind them not far away.
"I think there's something big about this old man's mystery. We only have three days, and after these three days, the black beads are useless. Besides, I'm here for business, so I can't afford to waste time here. Qian Wanneng motioned to Chen An and Qin Shaoyan to slow down, and after waiting for the old man to walk a distance, he whispered to the two.
"What! This thing can only be used for three days! Why didn't you say it earlier!" Qin Shaoyan was surprised, and unconsciously raised his voice a little, Qian Wanneng hurriedly looked at the old man in front of him, and after seeing that the old man didn't seem to hear, he turned his head and glared at Qin Shaoyan: "Be quiet, don't be heard by him." This old man is very evil, and he looks like he will choke his breath at any time, but I think he is in good spirits, this is someone else's territory, and we may not be able to beat him. ”
Qin Shaoyan nodded, along the way, no matter how they sped up, they could never catch up with the old man. And as he walked, he was pulled forward by the old man's qi, and he couldn't stop, let alone go back. "Now we are being led by his qi, and once we stop, we will be attacked by the qi, and we will be seriously injured. At present, he doesn't have any malicious intentions, let's take it one step at a time," Qin Shaoyan thought for a moment and suggested.
Qian Wanneng nodded: "That's the only way." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Chen An and asked with concern, "Can you kid still hold on?" "Chen An's realm is the lowest among the three, and the difference is huge. When a few people were competing with the old man, Chen An was also innocently involved, if it weren't for the old man who sensed Chen An's abnormality, he lowered his qi in time. Chen An will be dragged to death in this battle of gas machines.
However, when a few people lowered their qi to a point where Chen An could just bear it, it became the best tempering of Chen An's spiritual power. Several people also intended to fulfill Chen An, so they tacitly maintained the current pace.
Qian Wanneng saw that Chen An was unharmed, and after feeling it carefully, the spiritual power that shook around Chen An was several times more condensed than at the beginning, so he didn't say more. He and Qin Shaoyan recovered their previous speed, and continued to hone Chen An with the old man's qi.
The destination was far away, and the three of them had been walking for half an hour following the old man and the girl in front of them, but there was still no sign of stopping. After passing through an alley, there was no longer a bluestone building in front of you, but a path with flowers and plants. At the end of the path is a small village, where children chase and play, and it is hard to imagine that there is a village in the depths of the city.
"Grandpa Zhao! It's Grandpa Zhao who is back! and Sister Yiyi. There was a child with the strongest eyes and sharp eyes, and he saw the old man and the girl on the other side of the path, and as for Chen An and the three behind him, he directly ignored the past.
"Grandpa Zhao, Sister Yiyi!" several children shouted happily and ran towards them. The old man touched the head of one of the children and said with a smile: "Tie Niu, go back and ask your father to wait for me in the ancestral hall." "The child, known as the Iron Bull, was the tallest, with strong muscles on his small arms. He nodded hurriedly, glanced at Chen An and the others curiously, turned around and ran towards the village.
The old man walked towards the village surrounded by children and supported by girls, and when he reached the entrance of the village, he turned around and saw that Chen An and the others were still standing at the end of the path, without the slightest intention of coming in. "Three Holy Envoys, please come with me, this is where the Old Immortal Ancestor first stayed, and I heard that there is a teleportation array in it, which can teleport to various cities. ”
Qian Wanneng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was just about to raise his foot and step in, but he thought about it again: This old man deliberately mentioned the matter of the teleportation array, how does he know the purpose of my trip, there must be fraud in this. Qin Shaoyan also thought of this, in fact, he had some curiosity about this trip, the artist was bold, he was not afraid of what tricks the old man would play, even if he couldn't beat him, he could escape. But this time, it was because of Qian Wann's relationship that he was able to come to this interface, and Qian Wanneng himself also had important things, Qian Wanneng didn't go, and he couldn't force it. Besides, there is a descendant who has been born here, and I am afraid that he will not be able to protect it.
"Could it be that the saint will make the adults suspect that the old man has bad intentions, if the old man is not bad, he should say it in Shui Yurou. Besides, the old man really needs the help of the three holy envoys this time, and after the matter is completed, the old man will not only give the teleportation array to the three holy envoys to use, but also have a heavy thanks. The old man said sincerely.
Qian Wanneng listened to the old man's sincere words, and he was not moved to thank him, but the teleportation array was something he desperately needed. God knows how far it was from where he was going. Thinking of this, Qian Wanneng couldn't wait to beat those slaves hard and teleport him to this unknown place, if he didn't complete the task that the family paid a lot of money within three days, Qian Wanneng could imagine his miserable days in the next few months.
"Hahahaha, the old man laughed, how could I doubt you. Just now, I didn't expect to see a small village here, and I was surprised and forgot to keep up. Don't worry, old man, I'll come. "Qian Wanneng is not a person who twists, his sect is the only one in the supernatural world that is based on business, in Qian Wanneng, there is both the courage of a supernatural person and the careful calculation of a businessman.
Qin Shaoyan saw that Qian Wanneng agreed, so he waited for Qian Wanneng to leave first, and then followed himself. Chen An touched his nose and silently followed behind Qin Shaoyan. He seemed to have some regrets about the disappearance of the qi, but he also benefited a lot during this time, and with his temperament, he would not be resentful.
The path was not very wide, and the three of them could not walk side by side, so they had to walk back and forth. There was no farmland outside the village, and it was all planted with strange trees. There are no leaves on the tree, and on each branch hangs rows of dense fruits. The fruit was huge, shaped like a curled up baby, and it was terrifying to look at.
When the three of them walked to the entrance of the village, they found that the village was completely different from the buildings outside, from the houses to the streets, none of them were made of bluestone. Judging from the appearance alone, it is no different from the mortal villages of the Xia Dynasty.
The old man still kept a short distance from the three of them, and after walking straight along the street for half a mile, he turned into an alley, and after turning an alley, he didn't know how many turns. The old man finally stopped, Chen An was already a little dizzy at this time, he didn't notice that Qin Shaoyan in front of him had stopped, because Qin Shaoyan was a head taller than Chen An, Chen An directly hit Qin Shaoyan's back.
"Ah, Brother Qin, why don't you leave. Chen An came back to his senses and asked. Qin Shaoyan turned sideways and pointed to the front. Chen An looked in the direction and saw the old man and the girl standing at the door of a quaint small temple. Although the temple is not big, there are often people cleaning inside, and the incense is continuous, but it also seems more quiet and mysterious.
"Zhao Fusheng, the descendant of Xiao, is my clan today, for the lives of the people of Qingshi City, today he has the courage to disobey the ancestral teachings and lead people from other clans into the temple, and he also begs the ancestors for permission. The old man put down his crutches, knelt on the ground, and shouted towards the temple.
"What is this old man doing? Qian Wanneng said in surprise, Qin Shaoyan shook his head: "I don't know, anyway, he has been chattering like this." ”
"I know, I've heard about this in Heian City before, some family temples are not allowed to outsiders, and I don't know the specific reason. I once heard that the daughter-in-law of a family, whose mother's family was very powerful, was fierce and domineering, and once somehow broke into the temple of her husband's family, and it seemed that she was beaten to death. Later, the woman's mother's family came over. Chen An suddenly remembered what Chen Damao said when chatting with Chen Damao, Chen An only thought that he was exaggerating the facts, and later saw more such things, and Chen An also had a certain awe of the family temple.
As soon as the words fell, Chen An felt that several wills appeared, ancient and powerful, but he couldn't feel the continuous supply of spiritual power. Chen An suddenly felt that several pairs of eyes that had no emotion but contained very powerful coercion were staring at him.
After three breaths, this suffocating pressure disappeared in an instant, and Chen An couldn't help but let out a long breath, the back of his clothes was already soaked with cold sweat. His eyes glanced at Qin Shaoyan and Qian Wanneng, and the two of them were also uncomfortable, and fine beads of sweat oozed from their foreheads.
"I'm sorry, the three Holy Envoys, it was the Ancestors who were judging if you were the ones they sent. Now, please come in with the old man, and promise to the three holy envoys in advance, and you will not break your promise. And if there are any doubts that need to be answered by the old man, the old man must know everything," the old man bowed down apologetically towards Chen An and the others, and said sincerely.
"Hmph, if it weren't for the teleportation array, I would have turned around and left by now. Qian Wanneng snorted coldly, it felt very uncomfortable to be suddenly stared at by those wills just now, and Qian Wanneng was quite unhappy at this time. If it weren't for the fact that he might not be able to complete the task in three days without the help of the teleportation array, according to his temperament, even if it was related to the lives of millions of people, he would not hesitate to leave.
"Please also promise that this kind of thing will not happen again in the future, otherwise I will have to talk to the old gentleman in the future. Qin Shaoyan was also a little angry at what had just happened, and his tone was not as amiable as before, and became cold. Chen An knew that it was difficult to say something in his own identity, so he had to echo and said, "I am the same." ”
The girl next to the old man heard this, her face showed displeasure, and she was about to step forward to defend the old man. The old man still bowed and stretched out his hand to grab the corner of Yiyi's clothes. Yiyi looked down, only to see the old man raise his head slightly, and shook his head lightly towards Yiyi, Yiyi had no choice but to retreat.
"Old decay promises that nothing like this will ever happen again. And, after the deed is done, the three envoys are allowed to choose a treasure from the treasury in the temple. The old man seemed to have made a lot of determination, sighed, and said slowly. "Grandpa, how can it be! That's thousands of years of accumulation..."Yi Yi said, his eyes widened, and he lost his voice.
"Shut up! The family is about to perish, and you can't bear these dead things!" the old man scolded. Yiyi fell silent.
Qian Wanneng's eyes lit up when he heard the old man's words, the nature of a merchant made him develop a temperament of not getting up early without profit, and at this moment he heard that he could go to the temple to select treasures. Suddenly, my heart was overjoyed, and the previous unpleasant moments were left behind. He quickly stepped forward to help the old man up, patted the old man's hand affectionately, showed a kind smile on his face, and said, "The old gentleman is so polite! Come on, come on, it's windy outside, let's go into the house and sit down." ”
After speaking, he pulled the old man and walked towards the temple without saying anything.
Yiyi looked at Qian Wanneng's change before and after, a little dazed, and stayed where she was for a while, not knowing what to do. Not only Yiyi, Chen An was also a little confused, and said secretly: "This Brother Qian, it's really so..." After thinking for a while, Chen An couldn't think of a suitable word to describe Qian Almighty, so he had to give up. And Qin Shaoyan had such an expression, he put one hand on his waist, the other behind his back, turned his head to Chen An and said, "Let's go, let's go in and have a look." With that, he walked straight to the temple.
Chen An hurriedly followed, and when he passed by Yiyi, seeing that the girl was still in a daze, Chen An stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes. Yiyi was interrupted by Chen An's movements, came back to her senses, and said to Chen An, "What are you doing?" Chen An got closer, and then he saw that this woman was like a clear water hibiscus, not powdery, but very beautiful. There was a red mark between the eyebrows, but it was hidden by long bangs.
"What's that red on your forehead? Chen An pointed to Yiyi's forehead and asked curiously.
"It's not your business!" Yiyi hurriedly stretched out her hands to cover her forehead and said angrily. Then he turned and trotted all the way towards the temple. Chen An touched his nose in embarrassment, and said in his heart: "Why is this little girl so weird-tempered. Then he went in too.
