Chapter 1 The Eaves Collapse

Next Chapter

The night was falling, the rain was pouring down, and the wind was noisy and restless.

A magnificent carriage was parked in front of the ruined temple, and a girl and a boy came down from it. The little girl was dressed in red, with a long ponytail thrown behind her, so cute.

The young man was dressed in a luxurious but low-key manner, and his temperament was not reduced in the slightest in a green shirt. It's just that his face is pale, and he looks weak.

As soon as the little girl jumped out of the car, an umbrella was held above her head: "Miss, the ground is muddy." ”

"Chuanchuan, I'm not a child anymore." Yun Luo pursed her lips, raised her feet and walked towards the temple.

The black-clothed guard behind him raised his hand and shouted Seeing that the two of them didn't look back, he finished the second half of the sentence without confidence: "That's the master's umbrella ......."

"Well, let's go in too." Rong Zhou didn't care at all that he was going to get into the rain, but Yeqi was a little worried about his master's body.

It's just that before the two of them left, a paper umbrella was thrown out of the temple. Ye Qi raised his hand to catch it, and secretly sighed that Qingchuan's internal strength was not low.

There were many people sheltering from the rain in this ruined temple, and there were three piles of people sitting in the corners on both sides. The one on the left side of the door looks like the people nearby, the one on the right looks like a passer-by of a merchant, and the people inside look at the status of a person who is not low, at least a rich gentry-level person, and there is an old man in the other corner who is holding a cigarette pouch and smoking.

"Chuanchuan, in this temple...... Why does it smell strange? Yun Luo rubbed her nose, and the big man on the left side of the door sneered, and said politely: "Yo, since it's the eldest lady, don't go out." ”

Qingchuan's eyes darkened, Yun Luo waved his hand and ignored the big man, just looked at the others with a little sincerity in their eyes: "You haven't smelled it?" ”

"Smell something?" Outside the door, Rong Zhou and Ye Qi followed, he just entered the Guanyin Palace, and found that the leaky wing room next to him and this hall were a little strange, and he couldn't say what was strange.

"Can't tell, there's a hint of rot in the smell of blood?" Yun Luo frowned and was a little incredulous, how could there be a mixture of blood and rot?

It's just that after she finished speaking, the three groups of people who were chatting lively suddenly quieted down and looked at her together.

Yun Luo didn't know why, her eyes turned left and right, and finally she couldn't stand this weird atmosphere, and just as she was about to speak, she heard a thunderclap that made everyone in the temple come back to their senses.

It's just that she was taken aback, and when the thunder hit, she subconsciously tugged at the clothes of the people around her.

"Miss......" Qingchuan reminded softly, and Yunluo immediately glanced at the person she grabbed casually, and then immediately let go and ran behind Qingchuan.

Rong Zhou also shook his head with a smile, and Ye Qi spread a cloth on the ground so that a few people could rest.

"Girl, do you really ask about the smell of blood?" As soon as Yun Luo sat down cross-legged, she saw the old man ask with half-squinted eyes.

Yun Luo nodded seriously and said, "Yes, although it is not very strong, but it can be smelled." ”

"Legend has it that this Guanyin Temple is haunted! Little girl, aren't you afraid? As if joking, the old man took another puff of his cigarette pouch.

"Haunted? What the hell is there in this world? I'm not afraid. There was also a hint of wanton flamboyance in her tone.

The old man laughed, Rong Zhou was also a little strange, and asked softly: "Old man, what's going on with this haunted place?" ”

"Here, three years ago, a caravan passed by, and they all died in this temple. There was a lot of blood left along the way, but the body was not found. Later, many people stayed here overnight, and several of them said they had seen ghosts! After that, the place was deserted, and few people came. ”

Yun Luo puffed out her mouth and didn't know what she was thinking, and Rong Zhou also asked again: "Those corpses have not been found in the past three years?" ”

The old man shook his head, looked at the middle-aged people sitting opposite him with half-open eyes, and smiled: "What does it matter if you can't find it?" Some people are already haunted by the ghosts. ”

"What do you say, old immortal?" One of the people in the middle suddenly stood up, and took a wooden stick in his hand, and his posture was very fierce.

The old man was still unhurried, smacked his lips and looked at him: "I usually don't do bad things, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night." ”

The man was obviously enraged by this sentence, and he rushed over to hit the old man whenever he said anything, and was pulled by the other people around him. While he was pulling, there was another thunderclap outside, and then a gust of wind poured into the temple, extinguishing all the fires in the temple.

In an instant, everyone fell into darkness, Rong Zhou also frowned and looked around, but Yun Luo had a strange face, tugged at his sleeve and whispered: "Is there a leak on the roof, why is there still a dripping sound?" ”

Qingchuan suddenly turned his head and looked around vigilantly.

"Leaky, leaky? You heard me wrong. ”

I don't know who asked in the dark, after all, there is a sound of heavy rain outside and the sound of rain is also the sound of rain, how can it be the sound of dripping water?

Qingchuan suddenly got up and stood in the middle of the main hall with a fire fold to take a look around, and the people on both sides of the door on the right side suddenly turned pale, and one of the young men raised his hand tremblingly: "Blood...... There's blood on it......"

The young man pointed to the stone statue of Guanyin behind Qingchuan, Yun Luo stood up and ran over, and looked up and saw the blood on the stone statue of Guanyin.

"I'll go up and have a look." As he spoke, he was about to climb up on the incense case, but was grabbed by Qingchuan: "I'll come." ”

As he spoke, he beckoned to Yeqi and handed him the fire fold, and then he was about to jump up lightly. It was just that the moment he went up, something suddenly fell from the beam.

"Ahh

Some of the timid people in the hall had already fainted in fright, only to see a dead man hanging in the air.

Rong Zhou also subconsciously escorted Yun Luo and took a few steps back, but she raised her head and asked, "Chuanchuan, are there any other corpses?" ”

"Nope."

After saying that, Qingchuan jumped down and landed steadily, almost without sound.

"Strange, this man hanged? So who hid his body? And whose blood is it? Yun Luo frowned and couldn't think clearly, but the old man suddenly got up, put his hands behind his back and said, "Retribution, retribution!" ”

"How did you die here?" At the same time, the middle-aged men with status also looked at each other and whispered, as if they couldn't believe it.

Rong Zhou also only felt suspicious, glanced at Ye Qi and told him to go to the official quickly.

Crunch, squeak.

Just when everyone was staring at the corpse hanging on the roof beam, the sound of wooden planks breaking suddenly came from the roof, and Qingchuan and Rong Zhou immediately reacted and turned around and ran out of the door, not forgetting to take Yunluo who was wandering with them.

It wasn't until most of the people had escaped that the hall collapsed in plain sight.

"It's really retribution!" The old man repeated again, Yun Luo turned her head to look at the middle-aged men with bad faces, but found that there seemed to be one person missing, so she asked, "What about the man who was about to beat someone just now?" Why is it gone? ”

The other three looked at each other, and their faces turned even paler.

"Only that one person is missing." Rong Zhou also whispered, and Yun Luo was surprised: "Remember everything?" ”

In response, she just smiled slightly, and couldn't help but roll her eyes - if it's amazing, it's amazing, what a handsome game!

Everyone was uneasy and hid from the rain under the eaves at the door for half an hour, and Yeqi rushed over with a group of officials.

"What's going on?" As soon as the head catcher came, he saw that the Guanyin Temple had become a ruin, and he was a little surprised - didn't he say that he was dead?

Yun Luo said to the officials: "The roof has collapsed, and there is one dead inside, and the other is dead or alive, I don't know yet." ”

When the official heard this, he was shocked: "Is there still a living mouth?" ”

"Presumably, someone didn't run out."

The officials didn't talk much nonsense, and hurriedly braved the rain to move the ruins. Yun Luo tilted her neck and didn't understand, these people are not afraid of rain?

"Aren't you a doctor? It doesn't seem to care about human life. Rong Zhou's weak voice came, she glanced at him when she heard this, and then said, "Although I know how to heal, I am better at Gu poison." What's more, who said that studying medicine means you have to save people? ”

"You are not like your master at all, she has saved countless people in her life." Rong Zhouyi's tone became slightly cold, and Yun Luo smiled lightly and didn't care much about him: "It's like if I don't save people and I'm a bad person, and it's not that the person I hurt is buried underneath, do you have mercy if you are buried?" ”

A trace of boredom flashed in Rong Zhou's eyes, he thought that this girl grew up in the mountains, and she should be pure and kind, but he didn't expect her to be so indifferent.

Yun Luo looked at the servants who braved the heavy rain and spared no effort to move the ruins of the roofs one by one, and didn't know what was in mind, as if she was in deep thought.

"Boss, dig it out." After a while, a servant shouted at the head catcher, and everyone's eyes passed.

"Lord Wang?" The head catcher was full of surprise when he saw this person's appearance clearly, and when he saw that he didn't move, he reached out to probe his pulse: "This ...... He's dead. ”

"Boss, the other one they said hanged was also dug up."

The officials carried another corpse over, and the head catcher was full of surprise: "Lord Zhou! ”

Yun Luo stared at the corpse not far away and felt strange, her little face was wrinkled together, Rong Zhou also glanced at her lightly, and her tone was a little distant and cold: "The cause of death is very strange, if it is stoned to death, there should be blood stains." ”

"That's right! I'll just say how you look at it and think it's a shortcoming, you're so smart. Yun Luo looked up and praised sincerely, and Rong Zhou also awkwardly looked away and looked at the officials who were still in the rain and the two corpses.

Finally, he locked his eyes on the wall of the main hall, how did this wall look awkward?

Yun Luo fiddled with the jade flute on her waist, watching the officials brave the heavy rain and work hard to remove the ruins, and fell into deep thought again.
