Chapter 12: The Deceased

There are old people to come, meet in the Great Xiangguo Temple?

The little boy's milky voice confirmed our suspicions, and it seemed that one of us knew who we really were, and wanted to meet us and talk about something.

Xue Nan didn't seem to give up, and continued to ask the little boy who was held in her arms.

"The kid is awesome, but think about it, kid, did that brother say anything else to you?"

"Seems to have said something, let me think about it."

The little boy seemed to enjoy the love of his strange sister, and replied like a coquettish in Xue Nan's arms.

"That brother seems to have said something like the night is going to pass, but I really don't remember......"

We thought we would have something else to gain, but after all, we were just children, and we couldn't help but be a little disappointed that we forgot what the man had said.

"By the way, I remembered."

At this moment, the little boy's eyes lit up, and he looked at us and said loudly.

"I really forgot what the night was going to pass, but I remember that the brother said to me at the end that Brother Han Chuan could find two people to accompany him to meet him, but if there was one more person, he wouldn't show up."

It seems that this person can only accept three people to meet with him at most, and if everyone goes to the Great Xiangguo Temple, I am afraid that he will avoid it, and we will definitely not know his true intentions.

After repeated attempts, Xue Nan found that she couldn't ask any other useful content from the little boy's mouth, so she bought a lot of delicious snacks for the little boy as promised, and then watched him jump away.

After the boy left, the crowd fell silent again, pondering whether the person who had delivered the message was friend or foe.

Due to the great importance of Zhongyuan Day, we have already made a lot of preparations, not only temporarily changing everyone's life through secret methods, but also wearing Xue Nan's human skin mask to cover everyone's appearance, and even the route we took was the result of Chun Ting's careful consideration.

After so much careful preparation, it stands to reason that no one should have guessed where we were and where we were.

But now, as soon as we arrived in Kaifeng, someone actually sent such a message through the little boy just now, and it was obvious that he was telling us in this way that although we had changed our appearance, he still knew the true identity of our group.

Moreover, the little boy finally made it extremely clear that this person could accept me to go to the Great Xiangguo Temple to meet him, but if there was one more person, he would not show up.

If it's an enemy, he can let me go alone, but if it's a friend, then it doesn't seem to make any difference between us.

Such confusing words inevitably made my heart more and more suspicious, whether this person was friend or foe, the words he left behind did not seem to have any meaning to say.

So who is this person?

Why does this person know who we really are?

Where did this person find out about our whereabouts?

And since we don't have any secrets about him, why doesn't he dare to come to us in person?

And most importantly, is this person friend or foe with us?

With so many questions lingering in everyone's minds, everyone couldn't feel at ease and worried about them from the bottom of their hearts, but this person didn't reveal any information to us, so we really couldn't guess.

After a long silence, Chunting walked up to my side, and he took the note from my hand that depicted the ghost valley descending the mountain, and said slowly after carefully examining it.

"The reason why this person asked the child just now to send this note should be to use the allusion of the ghost valley descending the mountain, implying that he already knows our true identity, so the content of this picture does not help us guess his identity."

"However, although this painting is a little simple from the perspective of calligraphy and painting, but the pen is vigorous and powerful, after careful thinking, it is not difficult to speculate that although the way of Danqing is not good at this person, but this person's calligraphy skills are excellent, and I don't think it will be a young man."

Everyone did not have any objection to Chunting's speculation, and they all agreed with his opinion, but this discovery was also of no help to us, and the delicate Xue Nan couldn't help but ask me.

"Han Chuan, in addition to this painting, that person also said through the mouth of the little boy that he is an old man with you, and met with you in the Great Xiangguo Temple, maybe the Great Xiangguo Temple has a special meaning for him."

"So, you might as well think about it carefully, do you have any so-called old people who are related to the Great Xiangguo Temple?"

"How is that possible?"

I shook my head without hesitation, and my mouth was full of confusion.

"I have a withdrawn personality, and my friends are extremely rare, not to mention that among the friends I have made before, none of them are involved in this so-called thousand-year fate, and even I myself only embarked on this bizarre and tortuous road after knowing you."

"Besides, I can confirm that I have never been to Kaifeng, let alone the so-called Daxiangguo Temple, I really can't imagine why this person chose to meet me in the Daxiangguo Temple."

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, whether this person is a friend or an enemy, since he already knows our identity and whereabouts, then even if this Great Xiangguo Temple is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, we can't dodge."

While we were still hesitating, Chun Ting had already slowly spoken, and from his firm tone at the moment, it had already indicated the choice he had finally made.

"Without further ado, I and Han Chuan, Yi and the three of them went to the Great Xiangguo Temple, and the others found a place to live and rested, if the three of us have not returned at dawn, then you will leave Kaifeng quickly, otherwise I am afraid it will be difficult to leave here."

"Chunting, by all means."

The first person to try to stop Chunting was naturally Xue Nan, who had a deep affection for him, and after hearing Chunting's decision, Xue Nan hurriedly shook his head and stepped forward to refute him.

"Chunting, our group is a whole, if something goes wrong with the three of you here, even if the rest of us can finally rush to Shangshanxuan, it won't help, not only can we not solve any problems, but we can only sit back and watch the other party act wantonly without the power to refute."

Because what Xue Nan said was reasonable and well-founded, everyone echoed it one after another, trying to make Chunting change his mind.

However, Chun Ting still had a different attitude towards what Xue Nan said, and he shook his head slowly, his tone full of deep meaning.

"The lonely shadow of the cold river, the old people in the rivers and lakes, since it is the old people who visit, how can they avoid it......"
