Chapter Seventy-Four: The Exile
The night was quiet, Tong Yan lay on the bed with her eyes closed, tossing and turning several times and couldn't sleep.
She sat up helplessly, and heard the sound of the temple's bells and drums echoing loudly in her ears.
It should be time.
Tong Yan sighed, she shouldn't have slept so long in the afternoon.
It was Qingzhi who was on duty at night, and the room was quiet and she could hear the sound of her long breathing in her sleep, which showed that she was really tired, and she couldn't even wake up to the ringing of the bell in the temple.
Anyway, the people in this temple are resting, she is really tormented lying here, it is better to go out for a walk, it happens that the full moon is in the sky tonight, it is very bright, from the courtyard to see that there is a high mountain behind, I don't know what it will be like to go around to the back of the temple.
Tong Yan quietly got out of bed, put on her clothes, walked outside, glanced at the sleeping green branches, and tiptoed out the door.
The courtyard was too quiet, and there was not even the slightest sound except for the sound of insects.
Tong Yan swallowed, walked to the gate of the courtyard, gently pulled open the deadly latch, and flashed out lightly.
Her heart was pounding, and it was really exciting to do something like this for the first time.
"Bright sun, cold moon?" Tong Yan whispered tentatively.
Two ghostly figures suddenly appeared in front of her, did not speak, but saluted respectfully.
Tong Yan stroked her chest, she just wanted to make sure that they were still around, otherwise if there was any danger in a while, or if she couldn't find a way back, it would be miserable.
"It's okay, I just wanted to make sure you're still there." Tong Yan explained in a low voice, and she waved her little hand and ordered, "Hide it quickly." ”
The sun and the cold moon disappeared in place for unknown reasons, but they still obediently disappeared in place.
The road in front of her headed west, and she remembered coming to see a path leading to the back.
With her impression, Tong Yan walked westward, and sure enough, there was indeed a road, but it was a little narrow.
She boldly walked along the path to the north of the temple, and at the end there was a wall, but there was a path to the east.
Turning around like this, I finally saw a small vermilion door that was a little old, but unfortunately it was closed, and a large lock was hung on it.
Tong Yan paused, her eyes were full of disappointment, but it was also a matter of course, not locking the door in the middle of the night, wouldn't it be a dereliction of duty on the part of a little monk?
But she still walked to the small door, stretched out her hand and gently pushed it.
"Huh?" Tong Yan couldn't help but whisper in surprise, this door is not closed, the lock is open?
She looked around, but there was not even a figure, and she quietly listened for a while if there was any movement outside the door, and it seemed that there was silence.
Isn't the little monk who locks the door really derelict in his duties?
Tong Yan was overjoyed, so that she could go out without any hassle.
She quietly opened a crack in the door, leaned sideways, and slipped out nimblely, not turning around and forgetting to cover the door again.
Tong Yan looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but be stunned, this side of the door turned out to be a large vegetable field, and she thought she had left the temple.
Suddenly, something shiny caught her eye, and she was lying quietly on the edge of a well a few steps away from her.
Tong Yan swallowed her saliva, and her heart suddenly hung up, this can't be the hairpin on the woman's head, is it in the well......
She hesitated for a moment, but walked lightly towards the well, and sure enough, it was a golden step, and it was in the style of a magpie bead, which was very exquisite, and could not be worn by ordinary women.
Tong Yan picked it up and weighed it, this is not pure gold, but gilt, the gilding process is more complicated, it should be worn by a woman with status.
Could it be that a noble lady threw herself into a well?
Tong Yan put the step back in place and stretched out her head to look into the well.
The well water was clean, clearly reflecting her face and the full moon hanging high in the sky.
I didn't see any corpses in there, and the dead would float unless they had a stone tied to their bodies and were fallen.
No, wouldn't that be just him killed?
Then, the murderer, it won't be around here, right?
Tong Yan couldn't help but swallow, twisted her neck stiffly and looked left and right, except for the vegetable patch and tall trees, there was nothing.
Her shoulders suddenly stiffened, there seemed to be someone in the east, and a faint moan came from a distance, as if it was in the woods over there, as if her mouth was still shouting "tough"?
What is "tough"? Could it be that someone is hurt? Kidnapped? Tong Yan looked down at the step shake at her feet, puzzled, was this dragged away and dropped?
She looked at the ground carefully, but it was clean and there was no trace.
He was struggling inwardly, listening to the groans in the woods that seemed to be louder.
Tong Yan bit her lip and clenched her fists.
Let's go over and take a look, in case someone is really kidnapped, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter!
She walked towards the place where the sound had come from.
But before she could take two steps, a big hand suddenly reached out from behind her and covered her mouth tightly!
Tong Yan's pupils suddenly dilated in horror, her heart jumped, and only one thought appeared in her mind: It's over, I was caught by the killer, and my life is over!
"Shhh The warm breath lingered in her ears, a little itchy, and she involuntarily shrank.
Does this killer sound so good? Just how does it sound familiar?
Tong Yan nodded obediently because she was very aware of current affairs, and the hero didn't suffer the loss in front of him, so he promised first.
The man slowly let go of his hand, and Tong Yan seized the opportunity, and immediately struggled to open her mouth and shouted: "Help—hmm—"
Tong Yan was angry and anxious, her mouth was tightly covered again, his strength was very strong, no matter how she struggled and wrestled, it was useless.
The man sighed, and simply imprisoned her arm in his arms, saving her from slashing and beating with her teeth and claws.
How can this man still be a disciple! How can you hug her indiscriminately! Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated! What about the Dark Guard? The moment of truth is not useful! Tong Yan's anxious tears were in her eyes, and she wanted to cry, and she couldn't bite him to death!
The man's body was very light, although Tong Yan was imprisoned in his arms, but he easily took her to the west with a little foot, and the surrounding scenery galloped back, so frightened that Tong Yan's soul flew.
Her long hair fluttered in the air directly in the direction of the wind, and a few strands were attached to the man's shoulders, and the figures of the two merged into one, rushing through the forest like light.
After passing through the entire forest, Tong Yan saw that there was a paradise in front of her, with mountains and rivers reflecting each other, which was surprisingly magnificent.
The man stopped abruptly, and slowly let go of the arms that were holding her.
Tong Yan didn't care about anything else, and strode away from him before she turned around and glared at him.
But when she saw who had taken her, the anger in her eyes had been completely replaced by astonishment, and she looked at the man dumbfounded, speechless for a long time.
