Chapter 486: Encirclement
Lao Ye Temple, located in the East Yue that uneven soil slope, the land here is not as fertile and smooth as the Central Plains, so whether it is a building or a house, the appearance is not the same as the Central Plains.
Although this area is said to be a temple of Lao Ye, it is very different from the temples of the Central Plains, and it sits on the highest earthen slopes near this rich area, which are terraced and have many crops on them.
Zhang Lingdao looked from a distance, because the terrain was too high, he couldn't see anything else at all, only the high wall and the door in front of the wall.
Although the area looks very poor, the temple is well built, and although it is not magnificent, there is still a natural atmosphere in it.
Zhang Lingdao drove his horse and slowly walked to the front of the temple step by step, in front of the temple was a beautiful girl in purple, waving her hands at him excitedly.
"Lingdao? Over here! ”
Zhang Lingdao turned over and dismounted, tied his horse to a tree at the entrance of the temple, the clouds and snow are already psychic, and they will not run around, if they are really in danger, it neighs at the door, and Zhang Lingdao can also hear it.
"Love, let's go!" Zhang Lingdao nodded at the girl, looking left and right, "Didn't you say that this is the stronghold of Hanjiang City?" What about them? ”
"This is also what I am more curious about, Sister Qu obviously has a lot of people here, but when I came here, I didn't see anyone." Mu Qing was also puzzled.
"Hmm......" Zhang Lingdao pondered for a moment, "I'm afraid there has been a change here, we better be careful!" ”
"Hmmm! I also think there is something wrong here, waiting for you at the door, there were a few dart masters from the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau passing by here, and they also said that there seems to be some ghost in this temple, let me be careful. Muqing said.
"Dart Master?" Zhang Lingdao was puzzled, "Is this also the area of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau?" ”
"Zhenyuan Dart Bureau is the largest dart game in the world, all places have their people, although Dongyue is in the middle of nowhere, but you can still see the figure of those dart masters." Mu Qing said.
"It's all about begging for a living, these dart masters walk the rivers and lakes, which one is not carrying dozens of lives? And who is not scarred? Zhang Lingdao sighed.
"That'...... What about you, young man? has been famous for several months, I wonder if the young man is also scarred? Mu Qing said, her beautiful eyes revealing a little inquiring gaze.
"After all, we are a famous faction, with a master behind us, as long as we are a little careful, it is not easy for other things to happen." Zhang Lingdao said.
"Well, you have a point." Mu Qing nodded, she seemed to have thought of something else, and her mood suddenly became low.
"Okay, don't think about the usual unhappy things, whether it's pain or melancholy, we have to look forward, don't we?" Zhang Lingdao said comfortingly.
"Hmmm! You're right, even if something happens, the past is gone! Muqing nodded, "Lingdao, let's go to the temple first, shall we?" ”
"It's better to wait first, after all, the situation here is strange and abnormal, and no one knows what is waiting for us in the temple......" Zhang Lingdao has always advocated being careful in everything, no matter what happens, you have to prepare for the worst.
"Hmm...... The little woman has always looked forward to the young man! Muqing made a playful gesture and arched his hand.
"Qing'er can be regarded as killing me, I'm just an ordinary true martial arts disciple, how can I afford to be treated with such a great courtesy?" Zhang Lingdao smiled.
"An ordinary true martial arts disciple, a few months down the mountain to become famous? How many conspiracies of ordinary True Martial Disciples to thwart the enemy for months in a row? Ordinary True Martial Disciples, dare to directly fight against the Blue Dragon Society? If you are all ordinary true martial arts disciples in the Spirit Dao, then wouldn't we, ordinary people, be ashamed of this? Mu Qingjiao smiled.
"Heh, what Qing'er said seems to have some truth......" Zhang Lingdao smiled, knowing that the girl wanted to adjust the atmosphere, but he didn't say anything.
"After waiting for so long, there shouldn't be anything else, at least not outside, let's go in and have a look!" Zhang Lingdao's eyes scanned the surroundings, except for the temple in front of him, he felt hazy, everything around him had been detected by his keen spiritual sense.
There were really only a few bushes and plants on the side, and as for the human traces, he didn't see a single trace of them anyway.
But the more this is the case, the more he can't take it lightly, the old temple in front of him is like a sky-swallowing beast, he doesn't even feel any ordinary people's breath inside, as if everyone inside is dead.
"Qing'er, you stand behind me, in case of any danger, you run away as soon as possible, and I will give you Your Highness!" Zhang Lingdao said cautiously.
Mu Qing didn't say anything else, she knew that she was a burden now, so she carefully hid behind Zhang Lingdao, and followed his steps, step by step into the courtyard.
Zhang Lingdao is very clear about why the Lao Ye Temple is called this name, but this temple is very good in this area.
There are more ethnic minorities in Dongyue, and most of the buildings tend to be very strange round buildings, but this temple is made of the same material as the Central Plains, the black bricks and black tiles, and the very standard form of dougong, can be seen one or two.
Although the area is relatively small, the format of two into three rooms is still able to express it, Zhang Lingdao feels that the person who can build a temple here should also be a Central Plains talent.
There are two side rooms in the temple, like the main hall in the middle, which are tightly covered, and the doors are closed, and no one seems to be inside.
In the middle of the temple there is an incense burner that appears to be made of bronze or stone, and it is open in the courtyard, and there are some long incense sticks that have not been burned out.
Except for the incense burner, there are some extinguished braziers, which are supposed to be used for lighting, and from the traces on them, it can be seen that there should have been people here before, but for some other reason, all the personnel have disappeared.
It was precisely because of this that Zhang Lingdao's heart became more and more nervous, this cold and murderous atmosphere made him shudder, and he didn't have to guess in the future, he could think that the moment they entered the courtyard gate, they had already stepped into an encirclement!
"Don't hide, come out, I see you!" Zhang Lingdao casually hid Muqing behind the door, and took out a long sword very steadily, his double swords were still firmly on his back, and this sword seemed to be born out of thin air, and he grabbed it in his hand casually.
