Chapter 5: The World Outside the Temple

Having said that, he knows a little bit about Old Man Su, who used to be a majestic and sharp man, who once reached the peak of the family business, and the new county magistrate also invited him to drink a cup of tea. It's just that after the pain of losing a child, his sharpness has decreased, and after all these years, he is now about as kind as an ordinary old man.

But the mysterious sister-in-law has never heard too much news, and the comments in the mouths of the maids are also good, good, bad, bad.

In summary, compared to Su Wanmiao, this cheap sister-in-law is more lively and individual, and it seems that she is still studying some weird things.

"Second Miss?"

This time, Ying'er knew more than other maids, and she tilted her little head to recall while playing his "invented" backgammon with Du Bai with great interest.

"Also, the second lady doesn't like to read people, and she sneered at you a few times before."

She also thought that Du Bai wanted to have a good relationship with the sister-in-law, and thought of a reason intimately.

Du Bai, who was about to hold the chess piece, twitched the corners of his mouth slightly when he heard this. I see, no wonder when I pretended to ask casually before, those maids all looked like they were covering their mouths and snickering.

"But uncle, don't worry, the second miss is actually very good-hearted, she just hates that kind of pedantic sour show, if you can talk to the second miss a little more, she will definitely change her opinion of you."

After getting along for the past two days, Ying'er found that this uncle was not as boring and pedantic as she imagined before, but had a bit of humor in her speech, which would definitely change the second lady's outlook.

She's confident.

There was no point in asking more, Du Bai simply concentrated on playing chess, and almost made this little girl make up five sons without paying attention.

At night, Du Bai turned off the lights and went to bed alone, but in fact, as soon as his eyes were closed, his consciousness was transferred to another body through the point of light.

Almost instantly, the huge sense of strength returned to his body, and the feeling of sickness and weakness that he had been unable to lift his strength was swept away, and he almost wanted to moan out loud as he was comfortable.

"It's addictive......"

Quickly adapting to this change, he slowly opened his eyes, and it was pitch black in front of him, and it was still the silent and cold temple hall, and there was no suspicious person entering.

But in fact, if someone is close to him, then the corresponding light point will take the initiative to light up to remind him, which is quite humane.

Although the three days of recuperation did not heal his injuries, they were not as serious as before, and his normal movement was now unhindered.

He slowly got up, a convulsive pain from inside his body that didn't seem like flesh and blood, stimulating his brain, but it was much weaker than when he had tried before, and he calmed down a little.

Step by step, he stepped down the steps with heavy steps, and the heavy armor on his body made a slight metallic grinding sound, although it did not hinder his walking, but it still made him a little unaccustomed.

He tilted his head slightly and looked around, it was not much different from before, but the blood stains on those Buddha statues had completely dried up, and the cracks on his body were getting deeper and deeper, close to the level of fragmentation, as if he would completely shatter as long as he blew lightly.

Other than that, nothing is out of the ordinary.

Du Bai retracted his gaze and looked out of the main hall instead.

He had been waiting for more than three days, just in case. And today, he finally wants to explore this new world, and learn about another world that is completely different from the scholar!

He slowly opened the heavy and simple temple door, and the faint light seeped into his eyes, and the corner of this unknown world finally opened up in front of him.

Outside the door is a square paved with a diameter of 100 meters like white jade, revealing a warm and cool atmosphere, and then there are hundreds of steps downward.

But unexpectedly, the scenery of this world was not as desolate and terrible as previously expected, but a vast city, and in the distance mountains and mountains shrouded in black fog loomed.

The silver-white moonlight in the sky slowly sprinkled down, reflecting the whole land in the light but without losing the darkness in the shadows. In the very center of the city is this huge dark temple that no one dares to trespass. Then there is the city area that surrounds it in a circle, just like the impression of the ancient buildings, densely arranged, low alleys, staggered and crossed, if you don't look closely, it is almost indistinguishable from the human world.

But if you look closely, you can see something interesting.

To the southeast, for example, there are a few small stalls and vendors on the bluestone-paved road, and it is speculated that this is about a market. However, perhaps due to the impact of the battle a few days ago, there are few pedestrians, but many of the surrounding houses are in ruins or crumbling and dangerous buildings, and the residents of the city are trying to repair them.

At a glance, Du Bai saw a few leather lanterns dangling around the street carrying dirt, while several paper figures with heavy makeup were floating and piling up dirt, strange and strange, in their hands, the soil could be turned into a rock-hard foundation in the blink of an eye.

A group of half-human-tall rat spirits pushed huge rocks together, two pangolins chiseled them flat and smooth, and a tiger-headed human spirit next to him waved a whip as if to oversee the work.

"Ghost construction team?"

Du Bai felt a little funny in his heart. However, this is much more efficient than the average person, and it only takes a few moments for a house to be built.

"Maybe one day when I am short of money, I can still let them work for themselves." He pondered in his heart.

This is his ghost town!

Thinking about it this way, his mood was agitated but not revealed. Take a slow step, and your feet are as smooth as jade, without the slightest dust. I didn't take two steps, but I saw a pink glow flying not far away, which landed in front of him and quickly condensed into a woman's figure.

He paused for a moment, and immediately guessed the identity of the comer.

"Wang, your injuries have healed?!"

The woman in a pale pink dress knelt down on one knee, her tone tinged with a bit of joy.

Sure enough, this voice was very familiar, it was she who sent her relics to herself, so that her injuries healed so quickly.

He lowered his gaze slightly, this woman's appearance was indeed outstanding, but it was still slightly worse than Su Wanmiao's stunning beauty. However, she exudes an aura of temptation that is not like a human woman, and her innocent and lovely face is more adorable and charming than ordinary against the backdrop of this breath.

This is also the reason why she surrendered in front of him and did not dare to use her means. I'm afraid that if an ordinary man meets her, he will look for her death and life at a glance, and abandon his wife and children.

"You've always been here?"

Du Bai spoke slowly, his voice a little hoarse.

"Hmm. The subordinates did not dare to go far. Wang, you are seriously injured and have not recovered, if any thief dares to take the opportunity to sneak attack, your subordinates will die. At least...... At least I can let my subordinates resist this cheap life for a while......"

The banshee raised her head slightly, and there was a hint of unconcealable heat in her eyes.
