Chapter 082: Hundred Ghosts Night Walk Thirty-Four: Zhikong hosts
Zhijing's sudden turn of the head startled both Ye Xuan and Shui Xiaolin, and Shui Xiaolin glared at Zhijing even more angrily.
"We were talking about the ghost just now, and I don't know what kind of thing we will encounter tonight." Du Chen continued to say half-truths, as for believing it or not, it was not up to Du Chen to control.
"I see, there is a labor donor who bothered."
After Zhijing finished speaking, she turned her head and continued to lead the way, without saying anything more.
Originally, the hall was not far away, and after a few minutes of walking, you will arrive at the hall. It was already full of people, Ling Kexin and Shen Juan were all excited when they saw Du Chen and Ye Xuan coming back, and Du Chen felt like they were missing their backbone when they weren't there.
But what made them most curious was Shui Xiaolin, and they asked where this Shui Xiaolin came from.
After Ye Xuan told Shui Xiaolin's origin, everyone was surprised.
Of course, the matter of meeting the old Taoist priest on the road was just briefly said, and it was just said that the old Taoist priest wanted to cheat and eat and drink, but Du Chen refused, which was also what Du Chen repeatedly told Ye Xuan on the way back.
"Boss, when are you going to take this bite, and little Lori won't let it go." Peng Bo ate the steamed bun in one mouthful, drank the porridge in one gulp, and ran over to tease Shui Xiaolin.
Shen Juan and Ling Kexin liked Shui Xiaolin very much when they saw it, and they vigorously let Shui Xiaolin play water magic.
Suddenly surrounded by a large circle of people, Shui Xiaolin looked at Du Chen for help, only to find that Du Chen had already walked towards the dining table, his angry little fists clenched tightly, and his small mouth hummed and chirped with contempt.
"Coach He, you look good, you have recovered so much in just one day."
Du Chen walked to Heliancheng's side and sat down, and found that Heliancheng's injuries had improved a lot.
Although there is not much dinner, Helian Cheng has always chewed slowly when eating, so the steamed buns are also broken and eaten little by little: "This is also thanks to Ye Xuan who helped me treat last night, and in the afternoon, Zijue also got some herbs to take and apply externally." Not to mention, my body was much better after a while, I really didn't know that the herbs in this person's netherworld were so powerful. ”
"What about Su Luo?" Du Chen remembered Hei Zhichang's serious injury last night.
"The situation is not good, Zijue has already medicated her, I don't know if I can survive tonight." He Liancheng sighed, leaned into Du Chen's ear and whispered, "That little girl of the Demon Daoist is too ruthless, and the dagger is smeared with thieves' poison." Not enough, I admire this woman, she was seriously injured, and she was poisoned, and she was able to kill a thief. And when the muscular man buried his bald head last night, he found that his shoulder had already been injured, and he was pierced by the Mitsubishi Army. It seems that the woman did it, too, but fortunately, otherwise I might have been killed by the bald man last night. ”
Thinking of the arm strength of the berserker bald man, Helian Cheng is still a little frightened now.
"If it weren't for their infighting, a head-on conflict, we would have been more than lucky." Du Chen is also a little embarrassed, in the apocalyptic world, some things may be like this.
The strength of the thief, Du Chen has never seen it.
The soothsayer is a bit pretending, and the real combat power may not be too high, but it is not too bad either.
The little Lori of the Demon Master, ruthless, can pretend to be innocent, and is scheming, and the fireball technique is also very good, and ordinary people are likely to be finished directly when they encounter it.
The silent repeater knew from the fact that he was able to quickly shoot two crossbow arrows against his own bullets and Shen Juan's feather arrows, and he could know that this person's strength would not be weak. Just to protect the little Lori from being injured, she was even used as a shield by the little Lori and died under her own sword.
Berserker bald man, although Du Chen only fought with him for a short time, but after being stabbed by Su Luo's Mitsubishi Army, he could still have such a strong arm strength, and with Shen Juan's assistance, Helian Cheng was beaten so badly, and his strength was not trivial.
The last black straight long Su Luo, who can be stabbed in the abdomen with a poisoned dagger, can also kill a thief, stab the berserker bald man, and even quickly escape to the courtyard where he is, this strength is probably the strongest existence in that squad.
If these six people didn't have infighting from the beginning, but clashed head-on with Du Chen's side, even Du Chen wouldn't be very sure, let alone Ling Kexin, Shen Juan, and Ye Xuan.
"By the way, what about the host?"
Du Chen glanced around, and in addition to the people on Du Chen's side in the dining hall at this time, there were also a few students from Xue Xue's side, hiding on the dining table in the corner and eating dinner. Several of them were trembling, they didn't sleep at all last night, and they knew that the bald man had been killed. Now seeing Du Chen's group of people, he is naturally trembling with fright.
But fortunately, there is still Zhijing, so they dare to come over for dinner.
As for Xue Xue, her arm was originally cut off, and coupled with Shi Tao's death last night, she had completely collapsed, hiding in the room alone without eating or drinking, and her spirit was already a little chattering.
"The host asked me to call you here, I think you should come soon." Zhijing was also a little strange.
He Liancheng hurriedly said: "Zijue came here just now, saying that the host was not feeling well and couldn't come to the dining hall. He said that after you came back, I would go to the chamber. ”
"Okay, I'll go over after my fast."
Du Chen was not happy to eat, mainly because he was thinking about what he should say when he saw the host. However, there are not many late-term fasts, and no matter how slow Du Chen eats, it is only a few bites.
The chamber was a little remote, and under the leadership of Zhijing, Du Chen walked to the host's chamber alone.
Originally, Helian Cheng and the others wanted to come along, especially Ye Xuan, who was worried that something would happen to Du Chen, but they were all rejected by Du Chen.
Squeak!
"Senior brother host, Master Du Chen is here."
Standing outside the room, Zhijing pushed open the door, stood at the door and said inside.
"Zijue, go and invite Lord Du Shi to come in...... Ahem...... "Before he could finish his sentence, an old voice coughed inside.
Zijue walked quickly to the door and made a gesture to Du Chen: "Donor, please come in with me." ”
Looking at a serious Zijue, Du Chen had the urge to reach out and touch his body to see if he could directly penetrate the past. However, this thought was only fleeting, and Du Chen followed Zijue into the chamber.
The room is not big, you can see it all at a glance, but it is already evening at this time, and there is no light, so it is a little dim inside.
On a futon on the right, an old monk is sitting. When he saw Du Chen coming in, he hurriedly stopped coughing and shouted a Buddha call to Du Chen: "Amitabha, Lord Du, please take a seat." ”
Glancing at the futon on the side, Du Chen sat down as he said.
However, as soon as he came in, Du Chen smelled the strong smell of medicine in the room, which was particularly strong and lasted for a long time.
"Let the donor see it smile, the old man is called Zhikong, and he is the host of the temple. I suffered from illness many years ago, and I had to drink these herbs every day to live to this day. The wrinkled host wanted to show a difficult smile, but his face was stiff and difficult to laugh.
"I wonder what the host is doing when he comes to me?" Du Chen went straight to the point.
"Zijue, you and your Uncle Zhijing go out first, I have something I want to say to Master Du Shi alone." Zhikong glanced at Zijue and instructed, "By the way, you go and see the injured female benefactor to see if the medicine I re-prepared has worked." ”
"Yes, host."
Zijue respectfully sat down, then retreated with Zhijing and closed the door. As the door closed, the light in the room dimmed, and the two did not speak for a while, and the room seemed extraordinarily quiet.
"Master Du, the old man sees that you are very worried, but what do you want to ask the old man?" The host of Zhikong suddenly spoke.
Du Chen was not surprised, he already had a lot of thoughts, and Zhikong was not surprised to see it: "There are indeed some things on my mind, but I don't know if the host is willing to help me solve some confusion?" ”
"Donor, please." In the dark, the host of Zhikong slowly raised his right hand, unscrewed a fire fold, and lit the candle on the side, "I hope the donor will not blame, the old man can't see too much light, and he doesn't go out during the day, and only one or two candles can be lit in the room." ”
As the light of the candle lit up, a hideous and terrifying face appeared in front of Du Chen.
Zhikong's face was burned extensively, one eye was blind, and his whole face looked extremely terrifying. And his eyebrows and beard have turned white, coupled with shriveled skin, which is similar to a mummy, which is very scary.
Although Du Chen was frightened when he looked at it, no matter how terrifying the monster Du Chen had seen, he didn't have any expression.
"The donor is so determined." Looking at Du Chen, who was unmoved, Zhikong gave a supportive thumbs up, "I don't know what the donor wants to ask?" ”
Du Chen had a lot of doubts in his heart, but there were some things that he couldn't say, and he could only ask some questions that he had just thought of: "Why don't you let the monks catch ghosts, so that your junior brother and the monks rebuilt a Great Compassion Temple." ”
After Du Chen asked this sentence, Zhikong didn't speak for a long time, and only sighed after half a sound: "This matter, I can't tell the old man." ”
The first question was rejected, and Du Chen was not discouraged: "I heard outside that there was a fire in the Temple of Mercy nine years ago, and no monks came in and out for a month. And, Why did the nearby lotus pond disappear? ”
This is Du Chen's question, no matter how fierce the fire is, it is impossible to make a lotus pond disappear in vain. And since the temple was burned, it is very strange why no monks have come in and out for a month.
"Why did the donor suddenly ask about this?" Zhikong asked.
"In the morning, Zijue brought a big lotus leaf to help me shade the sun, but I haven't seen a lotus leaf nearby, so I'm very curious. Because I've seen the map of Changsitai, the nearest lake is an hour away, and the far one is two hours away. Then I asked the residents of the neighborhood and found out that there was such a thing. Du Chen's words are also true.
"The specific details of the fire nine years ago, Lao Wei can't remember very clearly." The host of Zhikong sighed, "But Zijue's lotus leaves should have been picked from Shili Lake." When he's fine, he likes to go over there. ”
Of course, Du Chen wouldn't believe that Zhikong said that he didn't remember what happened nine years ago, but the other party didn't say it, and it would be useless to ask again, so he simply changed the question: "Host, I still have one more thing that I don't know." When did Zijue and Ziwu come to the temple? ”
"A month after that fire nine years ago, I found Zijue in the backyard as a baby. As for Ziwu, it was Zijue who picked it up on the side of Shili Lake four years ago...... cough cough cough cough ......"
The host of Zhikong didn't speak, and coughed continuously, and only stopped after a while: "The old man is a little unwell, I'm afraid I can't answer the doubts for the donor anymore, please go back first." ”
"Then I'll quit first."
Looking at Zhikong, who looked tired, Du Chen stood up and got ready. Du Chen just has doubts about other things, and it doesn't matter if he can't ask. As long as you know which lake it is, after all, the third token is likely to be there.
Just when Du Chen was about to go out, Zhikong said, "Donor, the old man has a question for you. ”
"Excuse me, host." Du Chen stopped.
"If a person does something he shouldn't do because of some obsessions, he will be used by others." In the dark room, Zhikong's voice was slightly hoarse, "What will you do when you meet him?" ”.
