Chapter 18: Everlasting Lantern (Ask for Recommendation Votes, Collect)
The night is getting darker.
Tranquility has returned to the town of Ganling.
Uncle Nine looked at the hour, it was not early, and then he said, "Let's go back to our rooms and rest!" Don't worry too much, maybe nothing will happen tonight. ”
Qiusheng nodded and said, "What Master said is that maybe those four people didn't do it so quickly. ”
With that, the four of them went back to their rooms.
But it's also a little depressing.
The little milk cat that Wen Cai picked up in the afternoon was too small, and suddenly arrived in a strange place, and he was probably a little unaccustomed to it, and kept yelling.
Li Yan was a little helpless and shook his head.
Busy in vain.
I was expecting this black cat to give a reminder.
But this call all night long, even if the people who asked the beggar faction came, a few people were afraid that they would not be able to find out.
The lights in the four wings were turned off, and in the entire courtyard, only the everlasting lamp in the main hall remained.
The ever-bright lamp cannot be extinguished, it is filled with sesame oil, and it can burn for three days and three nights at a time.
However, the flame of this ever-bright lamp is also very small, and the faint light is not enough to illuminate even the statue of the Sanqing God in the main hall.
It was dark and silent.
Li Yan was tired, washed his face, returned to the room, and locked the door.
Lying in bed, I don't know what to do, I feel a hundred times more energetic.
"I guess I'm used to staying up late playing with my phone! Now at night, it's like beating chicken blood, and I can't sleep. ”
Li Yan muttered, lying on the bed and tossing and turning.
It was quiet outside, and from time to time there was the milky cry of the little black cat, which did not have the slightest warning effect.
couldn't sleep, Li Yan began to think crankily in his head.
Alas, I don't know what happened to those friends in the original world.
I almost forgot, I don't have any friends.
Poor, single for so long.
I don't know if I can find a girlfriend in this world.
……
All in all, it's just a mess.
Thinking about it, I don't know how long it has been.
I guess it's been a few hours.
If you do the math, it's probably about one o'clock in the middle of the night.
Outside, it's pitch black.
Suddenly, Li Yan, who was lying on the bed, faintly heard some movement outside.
He sat up with a "rubbing", the cold hair on his whole body trembled, and he hurriedly looked outside.
At this glance, I suddenly gasped.
Only a shadow was seen, reflected in the door.
This ancient door, unlike the modern one, was a solid wooden door.
In the past, the door was covered with cotton gauze, and once someone was outside the door, you could see through this thin cotton gauze.
"Coming?"
A thought flashed through Li Yan's mind.
The figure outside seemed to be slowly approaching Li Yan's room, and when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped.
Li Yan cautiously got out of bed, picked up a piece of wood that had been prepared to be placed next to the bed, and held it in his hand.
At this moment, Li Yan's palms were sweating.
He never imagined that he would be so unlucky.
Four rooms, own room in the corner.
Unexpectedly, the person who asked the beggar faction actually picked himself to start first.
Grandma's, I'm really afraid of something.
In Li Yan's mind, he quickly thought of a thousand ways to deal with it.
Once the shadow outside breaks into the door, he will strike first and hit it with a stick, even if he can't knock the opponent down, at least he can catch the opponent off guard, so as to give himself time to escape.
Knock knock!
There was a sudden knock on the door.
A voice came from outside: "Uncle Shi, have you slept?" ”
"Wencai?"
Li Yan was stunned and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He hurriedly walked to the door, opened the door, and saw Wen Cai standing at the door with a smile on his face.
"You don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing looking for me? I almost thought it was the bad guys. Li Yan said angrily.
Wen Cai smiled again and again and said, "Uncle Shi, I'm a little scared and can't sleep." ”
"Huh?"
Li Yan was a little speechless.
This guy is even less daring than himself.
"Uncle Shi is also afraid! But what are you going to do without sleeping at night? ”
"Uncle Shi, why don't I sleep with you tonight?"
After Li Yan listened, his eyes rolled around.
Anyway, when multiple people are together, they feel more at ease.
"Come in!"
With that, Li Yan opened the door and let Wen Cai enter the house.
Wen Cai was excited, as soon as he entered the house, he drilled into the quilt, and muttered in his mouth: "Uncle Shi, I can't sleep in my heart, I went to Qiusheng's door just now and knocked on the door, there was no movement inside, I guess he was already asleep, and I had no choice but to come to you." ”
Li Yan got into the quilt and said, "Don't worry, it's your master who people want to deal with, not you." ”
"I'm not...... Afraid they'll find the wrong room? If you have more people together, you can take care of it. Wen Cai said.
"Look at your little bit of interest."
Although Li Yan scolded and scolded on his lips, he was very comfortable in his heart.
With Wencai with him, he is indeed much more relieved.
He was not embarrassed to tell Wen Cai that he couldn't sleep.
The two of them covered the futon.
Li Yan slept inside against the wall, and Wen Cai slept outside.
Li Yan: "Sleep to sleep, don't fart in the bed at night!" ”
Wencai: "Uncle Shi, don't worry, I didn't eat anything today, so I ate two sweet potatoes." ”
……
In the night sky, the moon is dim, the stars are sparse, and the whole earth seems to have fallen asleep.
In the main hall, the candle flame was blown by the breeze and swayed gently.
The afterimage of the upside-down image of the god is constantly shaking in the main hall.
In the dark night, a strange shadow suddenly appeared and sneaked into the courtyard.
In the darkness, the shadow seemed to be suspended in mid-air, and a thin layer of mist was covered with a thin layer of fog around Zhou's body, making it difficult to see the appearance of his face.
I saw that the black shadow was fluttering, and when I arrived outside the door of the main hall, I suddenly trembled and retreated some distance.
Obviously, this black shadow seems to have some fear of the gods enshrined in the main hall.
"Meow...... Meow ......"
The little black cat that was bolted to the door of Uncle Jiu's room, with a light in his eyes, looked at the black shadow, as if he was frightened, and let out a series of screams.
But there was silence in all four chambers.
The little black cat barked all night, and everyone was completely inappropriate.
What's more, in this long night, even Li Yan and Wencai have already fallen asleep.
The dark shadow's gaze was dark and gloomy, as if he had turned his head and glanced at the little black cat bolted to the door.
The little black cat felt a chill, and suddenly exploded all over its body, "whoa" screamed again, took a few steps back, and squatted in the corner of the wall, shivering.
The black cat is psychic, although it is young, but its instinctive reaction makes it perceive the black shadow in front of it, which seems to be full of an eerie ghostly aura, which is extremely terrifying.
The dark shadow didn't seem interested in the kitten, and with a move of his nose, he began to sniff in the air.
He smelled the scent of someone coming from three of the chambers.
In front of Uncle Nine's door, there is a little black cat, although the black shadow is not afraid of this little thing, but the black cat is psychic after all, and the demonic thing is naturally a little disgusted with the black cat, so naturally he didn't plan to go to Uncle Nine's room.
And Li Yan's room, the black shadow didn't plan to go, because he smelled two breaths coming from inside.
In the darkness, the black shadow hesitated for a moment, and then his eyes fell on Qiusheng's room, and his body fluttered lightly, heading towards Qiusheng's room......
