Chapter 74: The Temple of the Fowl King
As Long Qingqing expected, the movement of the chaotic beating in the darkness gradually decreased, and it seemed that those sergeants also realized that the beatings were their own people, and there was only a shouting and scolding left.
"This can't be done, we can't do this, beckon the brothers to go outside!"
Finally someone came to their senses and began to make a loud proposal, and soon the crowd gradually dispersed.
"I don't know if they really leave or fake, will they stay outside and wait for the rabbits?" Li Hou was a little worried.
"It's okay, the garrison sergeants rotate every day, and they still have to go back at night, so it's just a big deal to spend a whole day with them!" Qingqing didn't have any pressure on this.
The three of them began to wander around the labyrinth boredly, and sure enough, they met fewer and fewer sergeants.
"It's past noon, why don't we go out and have a look?" The three of them were a little bored, and they couldn't help but have a common thought.
Near the mouth of a cave, three men poked their heads out.
Outside, three or four hundred sergeants were lying around resting, and many were eating and drinking, and even gathered together to gamble for money.
However, they still don't seem to have given up, and they are ready to defend to the death.
I have to say that these sergeants really hate Dongfang Sheng and Li Hou too much, even so, there are still people who are vigilantly watching this large cave.
As soon as the three of them showed their heads, a fat-headed and big-eared guy immediately shouted, "Those two turtle grandsons are out!" ”
Wow!
Hundreds of people stood up in an instant, exuding a strong murderous aura, and rushed over with a roar like a swarm of bees returning to their nests.
"Run!"
All three of them were so frightened that they turned around and fled.
Fortunately, Dongfang Sheng once again exerted his extraordinary senses and escaped from this chase without danger.
"Aren't these bastards just struck a few times by artificial mines, is it necessary? Now they're fine, they have something to eat, drink and play outside, and we can only starve here! Dongfang Sheng grumbled, and his saliva was even more grunting.
In fact, not only Dongfang Sheng, Li Hou and Qingqing are also a little hungry, they have eaten early at this point on weekdays, and they have not been hungry like this for a long time, they finally realized the true meaning of people who are iron rice and steel and are hungry and panicked.
"Bear with me, bear with me! When they are gone, we will go to the temple of the bird king on the top of the mountain, there must be a place to eat, and when the time comes, we will order more good ones and eat to our heart's content! Dongfang Sheng began to draw cakes for himself.
In the unbearable waiting, Dongfang Sheng raised the night vision watch in his hand, "It's seven o'clock, it is estimated that it is dark outside, why don't we go out and have a look?" ”
"Go see, go see!"
Li Hou and Qingqing actually had no opinion, but the three of them were a little tired of listening to the gurgling sound that came out of their stomachs from time to time.
What made the three of them desperate was that at this time, the hundreds of people still didn't leave, lighting a bonfire and having fun, and they fled back to the depths of the Pantheon Cave in a hurry again.
"Twelve! I don't believe they don't leave until midnight! All three of them began to be ruthless, determined to fight the Federation sergeants to the end.
Time seemed to slow down, and Li Hou felt that his hands and feet were a little weak, and he truly realized the terrible power of hunger.
In this dark and non-winterish cave of the gods, there is nothing that can temporarily satisfy hunger, and they all regret it a little, and they have brought some dry food if they know it.
This is a very serious mistake, however, it is too late to regret it!
Hunger made the three of them lose the interest in chatting, let alone wandering around, so they found a random place and sat down, each thinking about their own thoughts.
"It's twelve o'clock, let's go!"
I don't know how long it took, Dongfang Sheng suddenly jumped up, and the first one rushed outside.
The faint moonlight shone in front of the mountain wall, and there was still a large bonfire burning and jumping outside the cave, but the sergeants were gone.
"Hahaha! After all, they were defeated by our tenacious perseverance, and they are finally gone! Dongfang Sheng actually still had the strength to laugh.
"Luckily, we don't have to go back!" Li Hou sighed, he circled around the firelight, and found that the clusters of bonfires actually formed a big "kill" word!
This is the declaration of war of those hundreds of sergeants, very straightforward anger!
"Whatever, let's go up the mountain to find something to eat!" Dongfang Sheng quickly rushed to the side of the path up the mountain, the speed was actually faster than Li Hou and Qingqing, and the two of them were a little stunned.
Under the moonlight, the shadows of the trees in the mountains and forests swayed, and there was no shadow of anyone at all, only the occasional scream of the night birds.
In less than half an hour, the dark shadow of a magnificent temple had appeared in front of him, and the Bird King Temple had arrived.
What surprised the three of them was that on the top of this mountain, apart from this bird king temple, they didn't see a single building, let alone a restaurant, and there was no place to eat!
After running up all the way, the three of them were already panting, their backs and feet were weak, and when they saw that there was no hope of having enough to eat here, they were all disappointed in an instant, as if the sky had fallen.
"You said there was a place to eat here?" Li Hou and Qingqing were really a little angry, and they directly stepped forward to look at Dongfang Sheng like a fierce god.
Isn't this a joke, in the middle of the night, the third watch ran to the top of the mountain with a hungry stomach on his chest and back, and wanted to solve the problem of food and clothing, but he pounced! To whom not to be annoyed?
"I ...... I didn't expect that! Normally, this kind of place should have a place to eat, but this ghost place doesn't have one, can you blame me?! Dongfang Sheng looked at the lonely hall on the top of the mountain and wanted to cry without tears, he also wanted to be angry at this result, but the situation in front of him was pressing, Li Hou and Qingqing had already begun to roll up their sleeves, thinking of the big bag that had just faded, he was also anxious.
"So what do you say?" Qingqing is ready to make a move.
"Don't, don't do it! Or let's go inside and have a look. Dongfang Sheng was holding his head and begging for mercy, and suddenly thought of something, "Yes!" Tribute! Since it is a temple, there will definitely be tributes in it! ”
"Huh? Then hurry up and take a look! Li Hou and Qingqing's eyes lit up instantly.
The gate of the outer courtyard has already been locked, and there is a wall three or four meters high in front of him, which may be able to stop ordinary people, but in the face of Qingqing and now Li Hou, it is too pediatric, Li Hou is the first to rush over.
"Wait for me!" Dongfang Sheng watched Li Hou sprint and easily climb up the courtyard wall, he couldn't help but be anxious, he had a very strong feeling that his happy road to countless delicacies would definitely be blocked by this hateful high wall.
"I'll help you!" Qingqing suddenly smiled, "Ximen, it's good inside!" ”
After Qingqing finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to grab Dongfang Sheng and waved his hand, and Dongfang Sheng turned into a beautiful parabola and crossed the high wall.
"What did you say?" Li Hou had just landed inside, and when he heard Qingqing's words, he was wondering, when he saw that a large black thing had flown into the courtyard wall and was heading straight for his head.
Startled, he dodged to the side.
Boom! The ground trembled slightly.
"Oops~~~" This is Dongfang Sheng's cry.
"Why didn't you catch him?" On the courtyard wall, Qingqing was stunned.
"How did I know you threw him in like this!" Li Hou was full of black lines, just looking at the trembling of the ground just now, Dongfang Sheng estimated that he had fallen not lightly.
Perhaps because it was relatively safe inside the academy, the main hall was not locked, and the door opened with a slight push.
Li Hou and Qingqing rushed in with Dongfang Sheng, who was humming and chirping.
The quiet moonlight spilled in from the temple door, but the rich smell of incense came to the face, which should be left by the tourists during the day, and it seems that this place is not much different from ordinary temples.
"There are fruit snacks!"
Dongfang Sheng, who was still sick just now, straightened his eyes instantly, broke free from Li Hou and Qingqing suddenly, and rushed towards the huge dim platform in the middle of the main hall, at this moment, he still had a trace of weakness, he was completely a fierce hungry wolf!
"I guess I starved to death in my last life!" Li Hou and Qingqing glanced at each other, and they both sighed.
"Let's go, let's fill our stomachs first!" Qingqing also walked over.
This time, Dongfang Sheng's suggestion was finally correct, and the three of them didn't care about any image, so they took the tribute on the desk and devoured it.
The fruit was fresh, and the snacks should not have expired, and for them at this moment, it was simply better than a sumptuous feast.
"This guy with gold and jade inlays should be the Hall of the Bird King, if you take it out, it is estimated to be worth a lot of money!" Dongfang Sheng was eating, and he didn't forget to look around as a thief.
"Didn't the stele say that the Bird King Temple and the Bird King Hall were made by Emperor Qianzhen for the little bird, it must be valuable!"
Li Hou looked up as he spoke, and just saw the two-foot-high throne on the table, even in this dimness, it was a little bright, it seemed that there were a lot of good things inlaid on it, and on the main seat of the throne, there was a palm-sized golden parrot standing upright, holding a turquoise in its mouth.
For some reason, this very casual glance made him suddenly have an inexplicable strange feeling, as if his heart was sour and indescribable, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
"No matter how valuable it is, can you carry such a big guy away? Hurry up and eat, when we are full, we will go to the back mountain to inspect it first when it is dark......" Qingqing glared at Dongfang Sheng angrily.
"Huh? This bird ......" Qingqing said and glanced up at the table, but after this glance, she was silent.
