Chapter 15: Wood Changfeng
According to Qin Zhan's current situation, it was extremely risky to escape from the dead corpses hidden in all corners of Putuo Town. Moreover, Grandpa Ling'er was seriously injured, and it was impossible to escape in such a chaotic situation. The only way to do this is to find the hiding place of the Soul Eater as soon as possible and eradicate the Soul Eater Taro. After all, the Soul Eater is not aggressive in itself, and its most powerful means is to create illusions and dreams. Soul Eater Taro has a great impact on ordinary people, but for today's Qin War, the effect may be greatly reduced. So Qin Zhan told everyone about their current situation and his thoughts.
Big Cow and Pony, they had never heard of the Soul Eater Taro, and they were terrified when they learned that they might have hallucinated before.
"This young master is well-informed and well-informed, and it is up to you to make the decision," Ling'er's grandfather said weakly. Seeing that Qin Zhan didn't speak, as if he was pondering, everyone also stood quietly still, afraid of interrupting Qin Zhan's thoughts.
After a while, Qin Zhan said, "If we want to retreat with our whole body, we may have to go back to Putuo Temple again."
Hearing that they were going back to Putuo Temple, Ling'er showed a look of fear on their faces, which showed that several people had lingering palpitations in their hearts about Putuo Temple.
"Why don't I go to Putuo Temple with Young Master Qin, Ling'er and Brother Da Niu stay to take care of Grandpa Ling'er, if we go together, we may encounter danger, and it will be more difficult to get out", the person who spoke was a pony, and he was a little bolder, so his thinking was more active in this situation.
Listening to the pony's words, Qin Zhan also nodded approvingly. Ling'er herself is still young and has not cultivated, and Grandpa Ling'er is very weak at this time, so I am afraid it will be difficult to walk. This time they are going to eradicate the Soul Eater Taro, not the more people there are, the greater the chance of success, the Soul Eater Taro can create illusions for people, and often people with weak minds can easily fall into it. And Brother Xiao Ma can still stay calm and put forward reasonable opinions at the moment, which shows that this person's mind is calmer than ordinary people.
"Okay, just the two of us, Ling'er, you and Brother Da Niu will stay and take care of grandpa, don't run around, it's foggy everywhere, it's hard to identify the direction."
Hearing that Qin Zhan was going back to Putuo Temple, Ling'er was a little worried in her heart, and originally wanted to go with Qin Zhan and them, but her grandfather needed someone to take care of her at this time, and she couldn't help Qin Zhan much, so she had to nod. So Qin Zhan and Brother Xiao Ma took a knife to defend themselves, quietly opened a door and slipped out.
Originally, Qin Zhan's location was not far from Putuo Temple, so they entered Putuo Temple without spending much effort.
The fog outside is getting bigger and bigger, and although one can clearly see the sunlight shining through the fog, it is difficult to see too far with one's eyes. The Putuo Temple is still calm, as if no one has been here for a long time.
"Young Master Qin Zhan, it's not that big here. Why don't we look for it separately, you go into the lobby to look for it, and I'll look for it in this courtyard. If there is any emergency, call loudly, we should be able to hear each other", listening to Xiaoma's words, Qin Zhan felt that it also made sense. After all, this can speed up the search, and the sooner you find the Soul Eater Taro, you can eradicate it as soon as possible, and what are the variables in the middle of the province. So the two of them went separately to find the location of the Soul Eater.
The gate of Putuo Temple is directly opposite the lobby, and there are several wings behind the lobby. Qin Zhan walked into the lobby, this was the first time he saw the scene of the lobby clearly, only to see that in the middle of the lobby were three huge sculptures. Three-headed and six-armed, with a face similar to a man and like a wild beast, very hideous. After turning around the lobby, Qin Zhan didn't find any signs of Soul Eater Taro, so he went to the wing room in the backyard to check. The small garden in the backyard is very exquisite, and it can be seen that the previous owner was very particular.
The furnishings of several side rooms are roughly similar, each room has two beds, and there is a mutilated white skeleton lying down, which shows that these people should have been killed in their sleep, and there are some books and account books in the room, recording the daily life of these people at that time. Qin Zhan looked at several side rooms in a row, which were roughly similar, and found no clues.
When Qin Zhan walked to the last two rooms, he found that these two rooms were more luxurious than the previous ones, and the taste of the furniture was high-grade. Qin Zhan walked around the room and finally found a dark grid behind a painting on the wall. If it weren't for the fact that the painting on the wall was broken after many years, Qin Zhan would not have discovered this dark grid.
In this secret compartment, Qin Zhan found a diary, and the owner of this diary was called Mu Changfeng.
Qin Zhan slowly opened the diary, and an old and unknown story was once again displayed in front of Qin Zhan.
My name is Mu Changfeng, I have no father or mother, and I have been dependent on my sister since I was a child. My sister and I begged for a living, and we endured the warmth and coldness of the world. However, as long as I can be with my sister, no matter how much I suffer and how many sins I suffer, I don't feel bitter and tired.
The fifty-seventh year of the 13th Huangpu Dynasty (the year name of the Great Gang State).
I had just turned 10 that year, and my sister was only 4 years old, and I will always remember that day vividly.
On that day, the sky was full of white snow, and I struggled to carry my sister to Blood Raven Town. By that time, the snow had covered the mountains, covering everything in the red and earthly world, and also covering my chances of finding food.
My sister and I hadn't eaten for almost three days, and we didn't find anything to eat, and no one was willing to give us anything to eat. My sister and I huddled in the corner of the street, warming each other, but we were still shivering from the cold, and I wasn't sure how long my sister and I could carry it, so we had to hold her tightly.
Later, my sister didn't know what was wrong, but she fell asleep. At first, I thought she was too sleepy, but after a while, when I called my sister's name, she still didn't respond.
Then, I began to feel that something was wrong with my sister. I touched my sister's forehead with my hand and found that she had a high fever and a very hot head. So, I hurriedly picked up my sister and went to the pharmacy to find a doctor, although I didn't have any money, as long as they were willing to treat my sister's name, I was willing to repay them by being a cow and a horse.
However, no one was willing to save my sister, and some even drove me away before I could finish speaking. They all disliked me for being poor and disgusted with me for being dirty. Later, I couldn't help it, so I secretly took a bag of herbs, picked up my sister and ran. But I was so hungry that I didn't take a few steps before I fell, and then a crowd surrounded me and punched and kicked me. I held my sister tightly under me, afraid that she would be hurt. When they got tired, they left, because I had nothing to compensate them.
I didn't feel any pain at all, because I just felt that there was no hope in this life.
