Chapter Seventy-One: Shelter from the Rain

After Mr. Zhou finished speaking, he returned the demon whip to me.

"This obsidian powder, is added cinnabar, and monk relics, refined, in this life I only have this bottle, as long as it is a demon, there is no way to live, the light is the original form is exposed, the heavy is the ashes annihilated, you have to be careful to put it away." Mr. Zhou carefully advised.

"So precious, me?" I looked at this small porcelain vase, this thing, I am afraid that it is the most precious thing that Mr. Zhou values the most.

"This thing is a treasure that everyone wants in our business, but now that I'm old, it's useless to keep it, so it's better to give it to you, and it's not in vain." Mr. Zhou said, showing a slightly pale smile at me.

"Then, I'll take it, thank you, old man." I leaned over and said to him.

He nodded and motioned for us to hurry up and get on the road, for it was already gloomy and I was afraid that there would be a heavy rain in a moment.

"Why don't you stay here one more day?" Mr. Zhou asked tentatively.

"No, we've been here for a long time." After I finished speaking, I said goodbye to Mr. Zhou.

We walked as fast as we could towards the city gate, and what we should do after that, wait until we get out of the city gate.

The gate of Yaozhou City is not guarded, it is very convenient to enter and exit, we bought dry food and water in the city, and went out of the city gate, after leaving the city, Long Xuanling raised his hand and counted intently.

"Benjun uses your birthday to calculate, there is a "road" in the north, which coincides with the old man, go to the north. Long Xuanling calculated for a long time, turned his head, and said to me and Mingyue.

"Wow! Dragon King, do you still know how to tell fortunes? Mingyue's face was adoring.

"In the future, you don't call this monarch the dragon king, just call him Mr. Xuan, as for the lady, call this monarch the prime minister, husband, whatever you want." Long Xuanling looked at me and said.

"Then you have to change it, you can't call yourself the king." I reminded Long Xuanling.

"Naturally, these Japanese gentlemen, no, I've already paid attention to them." Long Xuanling said and looked around again, here, there is no carriage to stop, we can only walk first, thinking that taking one step at a time, and then stop when we meet the carriage.

So, the three of them walked all the way down the avenue towards the north.

At first, the three of them were talking and laughing, but not long after they left, the dark clouds in the sky gradually thickened.

I wondered if it was going to rain, but we didn't have a village or a store in front of us, and we didn't even have a place to shelter from the rain.

"Go further and see where you can take shelter from the rain." After Long Xuanling finished speaking, he half-squatted down: "Madam, come up quickly." ”

"I'm not tired." I saw him squatting down, and hurriedly pushed and said.

"Hurry up." Long Xuanling urged domineeringly.

There is no way, knowing that he is stubborn, I can only lie on Long Xuanling's back, while Mingyue is watching us from the side and pursing her lips and laughing.

Long Xuanling carried me on his back and almost trotted forward.

An hour later, lightning began to pass through the air, and the thunder became louder and louder.

Before we could find shelter from the rain, the rain began to fall.

Long Xuanling's steps became faster and faster, and he finally saw in the distance, as if there was a dilapidated temple.

He pointed to the temple and told Mingyue to follow quickly.

By the time we got to the gate of the ruined temple, we were already wet.

Mingyue, in particular, was still sneezing vigorously.

"If you don't follow us, where is the need to suffer like this in the Zhou family now? Mingyue, why don't we send you back? I looked at Mingyue's embarrassment, a little distressed, and decided to send her back.

Who knows, Mingyue laughed at it and helped me to walk towards the temple.

The temple is in a dilapidated state, the Buddha statues enshrined in the middle of the temple are damaged, the paint has fallen off, and the roof is leaking in several places.

The ground was overgrown with dead grass, and branches and other things fell to the ground.

Long Xuanling found a clean place for us to sit down.

Mingyue brought dead grass and branches from the side and wanted to make a fire, but the fire she brought was already drenched, and the fire didn't ignite after several attempts.

Long Xuanling flicked his sleeves, and the wood and withered grass in front of him immediately burned, and we sat around the fire, roasting the wet clothes on our bodies.

"I'm afraid this rain won't stop today." Long Xuanling said as he looked at the rain outside that was getting heavier and heavier.

"Then we'll rest here tonight." Mingyue looked around and found that there was a wooden door on the left side of the ruined temple, so she got up and wanted to go over to see the situation there, after all, where we are staying now, sheltering from the rain, but this cold wind is pouring in.

"Eh, what, why can't you push it away?" Mingyue stood in front of the wooden door and pushed it hard several times, but the door just couldn't be opened.

"Who!"

And a slightly trembling but hoarse man's voice suddenly came from inside the wooden door, and Mingyue was startled and stunned in place.

"I'm sorry, we were sheltered from the rain, we thought there was no one here." I hurriedly got up and helped apologize.

The man inside was silent for a while, and then said, "You guys go quickly!" Come on! ”

"Eh, you're so strange, they all say that we are sheltering from the rain, and it won't hinder you." Mingyue saw that the other party spoke so unkindly, and said a little unpleasantly, I quickly pulled her back, sat down and continued to roast the fire.

Long Xuanling glanced sideways at the wooden door and said nothing.

After Mingyue sat down, she was probably tired from walking, so she leaned next to me and soon fell asleep.

Long Xuanling's face was a little solemn, and I realized that he was worried when I asked.

Here, there are no doors and no windows, and tonight the demon is afraid that he will appear.

For so many days, he didn't do anything to us, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Tonight, we take turns to watch the night, as long as the demon dares to appear, we will definitely get rid of it." Instead of being so worried and always guessing when it will appear, it's better to break it off.

Long Xuanling nodded silently: "I'll keep vigil, madam, you just have to rest." ”

After he finished speaking, he grabbed some more dry grass and put it in the fire.

I was silent, looking around carefully, thinking to myself where if I were the demon, I would suddenly come out of nowhere to attack my "prey".

After thinking about it for a long time, I looked up at the badly broken roof above, thinking that if I did, it would choose to attack from above.

With that in mind, I leaned against the wall, tilted my head up, and stared up.

Outside, the sky was getting darker and darker, Mingyue got up from sleep, ate some dry food, and talked to me boredly.

"Huhuhu, huhuhu."

And after this nightfall, the wind seems to be stronger, if it weren't for Long Xuanling to protect this fire with magic, presumably, the fire would have been extinguished a long time ago.

Mingyue was a little cold and shrank at my side.

Long Xuanling stood up, walked to the threshold of the broken temple, and stared outward.

"What a heavy yin qi."

Now, the sky outside was pitch black, and Long Xuanling stared at the temple gate where he couldn't see his five fingers, and whispered.
