Walking along the stone road to the high ground, I saw a relatively high attic in the distance, and the word inn was written on it. A few people walked over and walked straight through the door to the bar.

After a simple check-in, a group of people sat down at the round table on the first floor.

The inn is divided into two floors, the lower side resembles a dining room, and the upper side is a lot of cubicles, and it seems that there are not many rooms, after all, in this kind of place, few people come.

It was already close to noon, and everyone sat around the table and began to order. There were also sporadic people sitting on the table next to him, and it seemed that everyone was paying more attention to Qin Yundui's group.

After a while, a girl came over from the counter, she looked about the same age as Yin Ning, seeing that she and the waiter were wearing different clothes, she was still there to help check out just now, if she guessed correctly, it should be the daughter of the owner of this store.

The girl walked straight towards Qin Yundui, Qin Yundui smiled and nodded to greet her, but the girl didn't seem to care about herself, which made Qin Yundui a little embarrassed.

The girl wore a ponytail and a white plush coat, but the inn was still relatively warm, so she didn't wear it that thickly. The girl walked to the table step by step, and then actually got under the table, so that the group around the table was a little puzzled.

After a while, the girl came out, holding a small animal in his hand.

The girl was just about to go back, but Yu Fei stopped her. "Sister, the animal in your hand should be a bamboo lizard. ”

The girl turned around, looking a little shy, although she was also very curious about the dress of Qin Yundu's group, knowing that they must be very promising, but her eyes still drifted elsewhere, as if she was a little afraid of life.

"It's... Yes. With that, the girl released the bamboo lizard like an animal.

What kind of animal it was, the whole thing was as big as a bird, and the tail was very long, dark green overall, and the tail was yellow and green. In the middle is a leg, and there are several layers of wings on the back. If taken literally from the name of the bamboo lizard, bamboo represents this color, and lizards and dragonflies may have evolved from lizards and dragonflies.

Most notably, the animal's eyes are so large that they take up half the size of its entire head, and people who have never seen such an animal may be frightened.

Although the girl didn't seem to like chatting with others, she slowly spit out, "You guys... Are you members of the Holy Spirit?"

"Hmm," Qin Yunwan nodded.

The girl's expression changed from shy to relaxed, "You are Holy Spirit people, and my God, we have very few Holy Spirit people here." ”

The girl pointed at Wang Yuehan's hair again, "Is your hair born red?"

Yue Han said, "No, when I was very young, I started to turn red after I had spiritual power in my body. ”

"It's amazing," said the girl's eyes, excited, and though she looked sixteen or seventeen years old, she was still as innocent as a child.

"Sister, are you from this shop?"

"Hmm. The girl replied, "This inn owned by my parents." The girl seemed to be starting to get ready to talk.

"Come and sit," Yin Ning motioned for the girl to sit together, get acquainted with her first, maybe there would be something to ask her in the future.

The girl sat down next to her and introduced herself, and her name was "Little Losh." ”

Seeing that everyone was very interested in the bamboo lizard just now, the girl introduced it to everyone: "Bamboo lizards are very common small animals here, they feed on mosquitoes, have a gentle temperament, never conflict with humans, and most people here regard them as sacred objects. ”

"Its eyes are so big," Yin Ning said.

"Yes, though, it's not a pair of eyes," said Xiao Luo, "and the eyes of the bamboo lizard are 'compound eyes,' and on one eye, there are thousands of small eyes, so many that you can't count them." It is also for this reason that the bamboo lizard has a particularly wide observation range, and sometimes it flies towards the front, but in fact it observes the back. ”

"It's amazing," Yin Ning felt a little incredible.

"There will be a lot of people here who will keep it as a pet," Zou asked.

"No, no," replied Rael, "you may not believe it, but the eyes of the bamboo lizard are magical, and if it stares at you for a long time, it will make people feel uncomfortable. ”

"Uncomfortable?" Zou Yin asked, "What's uncomfortable?" ”

"I can't tell, but it's just uncomfortable. In fact, this is also a way for bamboo lizards to attack, they will use long stares to catch small bugs. ”

This is very incredible, and I have never heard of it before, and the gaze of a creature can make people feel uncomfortable.

"For this reason, few of us raise bamboo lizards, because once it has feelings for its owner, it will give the owner more eyes, which makes people feel very uncomfortable, such as shivering, nausea, dizziness, and shaking unconsciously. ”

"Haven't you experienced it?" Feng Xuan asked, "There are so many bamboo lizards here, have they never been eyed?"

"No, because we've always lived in harmony, the bamboo lizards won't keep an eye on you just because of what humans do. Besides, it takes a while to stare, so why are the bamboo lizards staring at us? Therefore, the kind of discomfort I just mentioned actually rarely happens. ”

Wang Yuehan let out a sigh, "It's amazing, there are no wonders in the world." ”

Feng Xuan said, "Perhaps, the bamboo lizard has another dimension of senses, our eyes are responsible for seeing, our ears are responsible for hearing, and our nose is responsible for smelling, but we don't have an organ to perceive the bamboo lizard's attention, so we can't define why." ”

"Yes," said Yu Fei, "in any case, this animal can really be the representative of this town." ”

Seeing that Xiao Luo was chatting with everyone more harmoniously, Qin Yunwan asked deeply: "Miss Xiao Luo, do you know that there is a place here called Xiao Qingchi?"

The girl nodded happily, "Of course I do!"

"What kind of place is that?" Qin Yunwan asked.

"That's where we meditated. We go there every morning. ”

"Meditation?" this time everyone was even more curious.

"Yes," said Xiao Luo, "do you know? We people here believe that there are gods in this world, and there are many poisonous insects in the forests around us, perhaps because of the arrangement of the gods, so that this creature of bamboo lizards has come to our town. ”

"Otherwise, how can you explain it? Bamboo lizards are not creatures of this world, only we in Bell and Drum Town have them, and their eyes have energy that we can't perceive, you say, isn't it amazing. ”

"So, every day, we go to Xiaoqingchi to meditate, just hoping that our prayers can be conveyed to the gods, so that it will always bless our town. ”

Everyone is skeptical when they hear it, but from Xiao Luo's conversation, you can feel that this town has a natural attachment to 'meditation', 'worship' and 'blessing'.

However, Xiao Luo's next words seemed to make the You Song Group very concerned.

"Legend has it that decades ago, there was a Holy Spirit who gave us a stone in the town, and under his urging, the stone could make people see through even the fog. The stone has always been regarded as a treasure by us, and when it comes to the eyes of the bamboo lizard, which have a unique function, even in the dark of night, they will not lose their way, and we believe that all this is God's arrangement. ”

Qin Yunwan didn't seem to care much about Xiao Luo's radiant explanation, and asked directly, "Do you know, where that gem is?"

"It's in the small clear pond, it's been enshrined there all along, guarded by the few Holy Spirit people in our town, and it's been organizing us to meditate and worship all along. ”

"Miss Luo," Yu Fei asked, could you take us to that place?

Xiao Luo replied very casually, "I don't need to take you, every morning, many people in the town will go to Xiaoqingchi to meditate, you just need to follow the flow of people." Of course, I will go too, and you can follow me. ”

"Then we'll go with you tomorrow morning," Qin Yunwan said, "and we'd like to follow an acquaintance here." ”

"No, no," Xiaoluo replied, "I'm so good these days, I can't go." ”

"In that case, let's follow the flow of people to that place tomorrow morning. Qin Yunwan said.
