Could it be that he is working in vain, if that is the case, it will be troublesome, once the monster did not let go at that time, but pinched the small animal more and more, will the meerkat that was dying before, die?

Just as Mu Ziqi was in a hurry, he suddenly heard a faint cry from the crack in the rock.

Mu Ziqi looked at it, under the hazy moonlight, a small black shadow quickly ran towards him, and when he got closer, Mu Ziqi found that it was a meerkat, and he really wanted to shout: Success!

Like a person, it may have just been freed from a long period of confinement, and some can't adapt to it, and it is a little shaky to run, Mu Ziqi held it in his hand distressedly, and asked it again and again, how does it feel, the consciousness of the little animal seems to be in a coma, and the two little eyes are a little unable to open, Mu Ziqi saw it and stopped asking.

Placing it on his shoulder again, the little animal was very sensible, and immediately grabbed his clothes tightly, which made Mu Ziqi feel very pleased, and while the monster had not yet woken up, he quietly bypassed it, burrowed into the stone crevice, and quickly crossed the past.

Then he ran to the top of the mountain.

While running, he secretly rejoiced that he had come up with such a trick, otherwise, not only would the meerkat not only lose his life now, but he would also be captured by the monster.

At this time, the top of the mountain was already visible, and he didn't care if the mongoose could understand it or not, and said to it, "How do you feel now, can you feel better?" If you don't see it, victory is in sight, and the light is ahead! ”

The creature seemed to understand what he meant, and grabbed his clothes knowingly.

Mu Ziqi could feel that the little animal had returned to normal, its two little claws were very firm and secure, and it was the same as before, no matter how it shook and bumped, it was always firmly on its shoulders.

At this time, unconsciously, a cloud floated in the sky, and the moonlight suddenly dimmed, Mu Ziqi held the bronze lamp high, and he walked up a path faintly discernible among the grass and vines.

Why is it faintly recognizable, for it is now evident that the grass has been trampled, and it is said that it is inaccessible to few people, and even if there is a road, it has long been covered by weeds.

These marks must have been left by the old woman when she was dragged through here.

This increased Mu Ziqi's confidence, he thought, from this situation, the purpose of this trip is not far away, he excitedly said to the little animal: "Work harder, it will be there soon!" ”

In fact, he said these words too much, the little animal seemed to have sensed something, it kept shaking on his shoulder, Mu Ziqi found that the meerkat eyes were staring at the top of the mountain, looking more excited than him.

After a while, Mu Ziqi suddenly saw a temple appear in front of him.

His heart lit up all of a sudden, isn't this already the destination?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a cry coming from there.

Mu Ziqi took three steps and made two steps, and soon approached the big temple, for safety, he blew out the copper lamp and held it in his arms.

When I got closer, I saw that the temple door was closed.

He wanted to knock on the door, but his hand was already outstretched, but he heard a faint cry in his ears, it was a mongoose.

Xiao Gaozi looked sideways, the two small eyes of the meerkat were round, and it seemed to be very nervous, and it was lowering its voice to warn itself.

It's right, it's not proper to knock on the door now, I don't know anything about the situation inside, although the monster is still halfway up the mountain, but whether there are still guards in the temple, no one knows.

If there is, it must be on high alert, and if you knock on the door and alarm the inside, it will be dangerous.

Mu Ziqi held his breath and pressed his ears to the door, he smelled a strong smell of pine resin oil emanating from the wooden door, it seemed that this door was newly made.

At this moment, another cry was clearly heard from the crack in the door, Mu Ziqi was really a little helpless, and wanted to push the door, but he felt that his shoulder moved, or a meerkat must be reminding himself not to act rashly.

Mu Ziqi couldn't, so he had to retreat and began to walk up along the courtyard wall of the temple to see if he could find other places to enter the courtyard.

After walking a short distance, he suddenly stepped on something under his feet, grabbed his body forward, fell on his heels, and then, "gurgling" rolled several times in a row, and when he stabilized, he found that he had fallen into a ditch.

At this time, the moonlight was completely obscured, and the surroundings became very dark, and he wanted to take out the bronze lamp and light it, and thought, or something else, in such a dark night, once there is a bright light, the target is too conspicuous, it is a very dangerous thing, it is better not to do that.

At this time, he suddenly felt a lightness on his shoulders, turned his head to look, and couldn't help but be taken aback, the meerkat disappeared at some point.

It was really a wave of unevenness, wave after wave, Mu Ziqi hurriedly got up to look for the small animal, but at this moment the sky was extremely dark, and the surrounding scenery was not very clear.

Mu Ziqi was not knowing what to do, when he suddenly heard a knock at the door.

His heart moved, what was going on, could it be that there were still people visiting the temple in the middle of the night?

No matter who it is, you should also go over and watch it, on the one hand, to explore the truth and reality, and on the other hand, to see if there is a chance to go in.

So, he walked quickly there, and in a short time he was on the side of the gate.

Mu Ziqi didn't dare to rush forward, but just hid in the dark and stared at it tightly.

Because of the distance, and the darkness of the night, it was not clear who was knocking on the door, but after a while, I heard a reaction inside, and someone asked, "Who?" ”

The knocker did not speak, but continued to knock on the door, and when no one answered the door, he did not come out.

But the knock on the door continued to knock stubbornly, echoing around in the dark night of the mountains and forests, and it seemed very loud.

The people inside finally couldn't hold their breath anymore and shouted loudly: "Who is knocking on the door, why don't you report your surname?" ”

The knocker was still silent, and he still didn't stop knocking.

The people inside seemed to be unable to do so, and there was a sound of footsteps, only a "squeak" was heard, and the door made a "creaking" sound, which seemed to be open.

Mu Ziqi wanted to run over, but after pondering, he didn't know what the relationship between the knocker and the person inside was, and it was a little inappropriate for him to run over so abruptly, so he continued to hide in place and watched the movement.

I heard the person who opened the door asking: "Dare to ask the guest officer who is the person, is there anything wrong with visiting in the middle of the night?" ”

The knocker still didn't answer, but just wanted to go in.

Hearing this, the person who opened the door spoke again: "Guest officer, please report who your surname is, and when my master comes back, it will be good to report." ”

The knocker still didn't speak.

At this time, the person who opened the door was a little impatient, and asked in a loud voice: "Are you dumb, why don't you say a word, what do you want to do?" ”

Mu Ziqi suddenly remembered that this must be another meerkat again, it has become an old man again, and it can't speak just like just now.

It did this just to protect me, because it didn't know what was going on inside, and if there was an accident, it would definitely run away much faster than a person.

What are you waiting for, Mu Ziqi immediately ran out of hiding place and ran towards the door.

When he arrived at the door, he saw that the person who opened the door was pushing the old man and did not want him to enter.

Mu Ziqi hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Please stop being angry for the time being, this is one of my family members, just because I can't speak, so I am offended, please forgive me." ”

When the person who opened the door saw it, he was a little deflated, and said: "At the end, there is a person who can speak, or this is the middle of the night, and the identity is unknown, which one dares to let you in?" ”

Mu Ziqi even made a series of gestures to accompany him, introduced his surname Sun, lived at the foot of the mountain, just because his mother was sick, yesterday he went up the mountain with his family to collect medicine, and he didn't want to get lost, until late at night, he couldn't distinguish the road more and more, and walked here randomly, and hoped to be able to rest here for a while, and leave when the morning dawned.

The people inside looked the two of them up and down before letting them in.

As soon as Mu Ziqi entered the courtyard, his eyes hurriedly looked around, wanting to see where the crying man just now was.

But for some reason, all you can hear in the courtyard is the long chirping of various insects, and you can't hear any other sounds at all.

The man who opened the door entered the house, lit a candle, and walked out, leading them to a wing room to the east.

Mu Ziqi was in front, and the old man was behind, and followed the man into the wing.

It seems that this is a bedroom, and there is a large case of pear marble in the room, on which there are various celebrity legal texts, and dozens of treasure inkstones, various color pen holders, and pens inserted in the sea of pens are like woods. On that side, there is a big Ru kiln flower sac, and a bag full of crystal balls is inserted in the white chrysanthemum. On the west wall, there is a large rice Xiangyang's "Smoke and Rain Map", and a couplet is hung on the left and right, which is Yan Lugong's ink, and its word cloud: Yanxia idle bones, Quanshiye career. There is a big tripod on the case. On the left red sandalwood shelf is a large plate of a large official kiln, which contains dozens of delicate yellow and exquisite Buddha's hands. On the right lacquer shelf hangs a white jade flounder, and next to it hangs a small hammer. The couch is a stepping bed with a green double-embroidered flower and grass insect gauze tent. It gives people the impression that the overall width is dense and the details are dense, full of a chic and elegant bookish atmosphere.

"I am the master's family, surnamed Fan, you can call me Fan Sheng."

Fan Sheng placed the candle on the big stone case, pointed to a big bed placed in the corner and said to them: "Please don't dislike the two of you, a big incident happened in my family yesterday, in order to deal with this matter, the master went down the mountain overnight, and now he has not returned, please take a rest here for the time being, and everything will be discussed when the master comes back." ”

Mu Ziqi and the old man of the mongoose change looked at each other for a moment, and decided that this was just an ordinary family, not the place he was looking for, so he wanted to leave and continue to march towards the mountain.

Seeing that the family was about to go out, he hurriedly said to him: "Brother Fan, you misunderstood what we meant, we didn't want to spend the night, but we heard crying in the courtyard, so we were suspicious, so we knocked on the door and came in." ”

When Jia Ding heard Mu Ziqi say this, his brows furrowed.
