Chapter 386: The Temple Hall
"If it's just You's dream of becoming a saint, or if the Great Elder thinks I'm not doing well as a patriarch," Zi Le sighed, "The poison in Zi Zi's body is always a hidden danger, and I originally planned to take her out to look for the blood scorpion after coming back for a while. After all, Zizi is his biggest concern.
And the affairs of the clan, he already has an idea to let the Great Elder come up, and for the rest of his life, if Zi Zi can be cured, he will die without regrets. If not, he'd probably have to stay with her until he died.
"But the Great Elder wants more than just a patriarchal position!" Zizi's voice was filled with anger and unwillingness, "He is in cahoots with outsiders, wants to be recognized by the Scorpion King, and then use the entire Scorpion Clan to become their tool of power!" β
"Wait, wait......" Tong Xin listened more and more vaguely, what was used and what was framed just now, he seemed to have figured it out in a daze, but what is the current collusion and the approval of the Scorpion King? Oh what else does the golden scorpion react to,?
"What is the golden scorpion reaction?" It's not just childlike innocence, everyone else has the same question.
"Golden Scorpion Reaction ......"
"Zizi," Zile interrupted Zizi, but instead stood up, "You might as well see it for yourself?" β
"Huh? You mean? β
Zile turned his head and smiled at Tong Xinyou: "Young Master Tong doesn't want to see what the Golden Scorpion King looks like?" β
Tong Xin was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, yes, yes......" As he spoke, he was about to follow.
"Childlike innocence!" Qian Scarlet Moon raised her hand to stop him and pulled him back behind, "Patriarch Zi, I thought we hadn't reached a consensus yet, did I?" β
Zile looked at the determined and clear appearance of this small girl, and knew that she was already very defensive about herself, and it seemed that she might not be able to express her position.
He turned around and looked at Qian Feiyue solemnly: "Girl, then you have to give me the truth, what do you want?" β
"Patriarch Zi, you have to figure out one thing!" Qian Scarlet Moon stepped forward, "Whether it is the Great Elder and the forces behind him, or Dongzhou and Yanxi, they are all powerless for you to compete with at the moment.
"Of course, you may be able to say that it's a big deal to 'die together', but I believe that a loving father, a competent patriarch, if there is a better choice, will definitely not take the final road of no return, right?"
The advance and retreat are relaxed, and the toughness and temptation in Qian Scarlet Yue's words all impact Zile's nerves.
After a long time, he looked at Qian Feiyue with a sigh and helplessness: "Girl, you are really ...... What a means! "Obviously, they are the ones who have a request for the Scorpion Clan, but they can build such a solid back road, and the result is that they have no way to retreat.
Originally, he planned to make a big deal and finally take "ending together" as his retreat, but when this girl said it, it became the point of no return for harming the child and the clan, and he would become a sinner.
"That's itβ"
Zile let out a long sigh, this sigh made Qian Feiyue and them finally hear a little sincerity. I'm afraid that Zile himself knows that if the stalemate continues, maybe he will really embark on the "road of no return".
Tong Qicang looked at Zile as if he was resigned to his fate and walked forward, and his doubts and surprises about Qian Feiyue were even greater. Where the hell did this girl come from, so bold and so determined. If she hadn't hesitated to cut off the back path between herself and Zile, this matter might not have been possible.
Of course, whether it can be done in the end, they seem to have a big test.
"Girl, as long as you can keep the stable life of my scorpion clan and help Zizi avoid the harm of the poisonous body, I can promise you whatever you want!"
After so many rounds of back and forth, Qian Feiyue finally heard Zile's words that were quite true, and the expression on her face softened a little: "We will do our best!" β
Zile listened to her assurance, and inexplicably believed that she would do it if she said it. Only then did he realize that he had always wanted to take them away, but in the end, he was dragged into her trap by this girl step by step.
"It's really ......" is terrifying! Zile shook his head and walked forward with Zi Zi, through the black hole revealed behind the mural, and led them into the secret passage.
After the group had all entered the secret passage, the purple in front of him tapped slightly on several walls, and the murals on the front hall slowly moved again. Then there was a soft "bang", and it was spliced together with the wall without any cracks.
When the wall didn't move, Blood Shadow and Wind Shadow quietly appeared with a person, and it was Mingqiu who had just been rescued by them.
"Keep up?" Mingqiu stepped forward to look at the mural, and it seemed that it could only be opened from the inside.
The Blood Shadow glanced at the Wind Shadow: "You go get something!" β
"Hmm!" A gust of wind blew by, and the shadow disappeared into the antechamber.
And the blood shadow grabbed Mingqiu's hand, "Go to the temple!" His words and the figures of the two people were all fleeting. Calm returned to the vestibule.
In the basement of the vestibule, footsteps sounded quickly and evenly. Zile led the people through the tunnels quickly, without further explanation, but brought them to the bottom of a staircase in the shortest possible time.
Zile pointed his finger at it and made a silent motion. Then he took a step back and let Zizi stand in front.
Zizi raised her hand to signal everyone to get ready, and then walked to the steps herself, and tapped her fingers on the walls on both sides, and the walls above the steps slowly opened, revealing a small door half a person high.
"Up!" Zi Zi waved his hand and raised his foot first and entered inside. Zile followed in the back, and then everyone else followed softly.
When everyone walked through the small door and straightened up, they saw an empty hall. They were standing behind a Buddhist shrine.
"It's ......"
However, before they could observe more, a rapid black shadow flashed, shaking everyone and immediately standing on guard.
"Stop!" Zile shouted in a low voice.
When everyone heard this, they decisively lowered their hands. They had already guessed that the place they were in should be the temple of the Scorpion Clan. The dark shadow that flashed just now......
It must be the Golden Scorpion King!
"Daddy......" Tong Xin was just about to ask, but he was glared at by Zizi and Tong Qicang at the same time, and he closed his mouth in disdain.
After Zizi saw that the others did not make any other moves, she motioned for them to follow her and jumped off the Buddhist shrine and walked to the middle of the main hall.
The pillars of the main hall are three stories high, and when you look up at the top, you can even feel dizzy. Except for a Buddha shrine more than ten feet long that they had just come out, there was nothing else. Not even a window.
The only light came from the candles in the shrine. It is said to be a Buddhist shrine, but there is only a delicate box on it.
Qian Scarlet Moon had already guessed when she saw this box, and this was probably the box used to worship the blood scorpion. Only now it's supposed to be an empty box.
