Chapter 9 The Land Temple: Siege
Huai'an County.
On a house door, there is a pear wood plaque hanging, on which three big characters are written in Qin seal - Night Investigation Division.
Daqin governs the country by counties, and each county has a night investigation department, in addition to cutting off local demons, more importantly, it is to supervise hundreds of officials.
"Pedal Pedal Pedal T
A girl with bright eyes and bright teeth, delicate facial features, and a green dress stepped on the stone stairs and ran towards a pavilion on the rockery in the house, looking extremely eager.
She was holding a small brass lamp in her hand, with a small beast carved on it, two horns, draped with yellow scales, and a lamp in her mouth, almost exactly the same as the one in Liang Ping'an's hand.
As the girl ran desperately, the lights flickered, and it looked like it could go out at any moment.
"I'm Liang Wan'er, I want to see Sister Ji! My cousin went to Xiaoshan Village today to participate in the night watchman assessment, and now his soul lamp is about to go out! ”
The girl shouted as she ran.
Because, in front of the pavilion, there are still two maids.
One of them wore a black dress, the other a white dress, with thin willow eyebrows painted on their faces, pink rouge on their faces, and lips as small as cherries.
The two maids each hold a lamp, both of which are walking lamps when they are in a hurry, the inside is a bamboo strip, and the outside is pasted with translucent white paper, and there are two big characters written on it, one is black and the other is white.
"Let Wan'er come up."
A crisp sound came from the pavilion, like a lark, soft and pleasant.
Liang Wan'er didn't wait for the two maids to respond, and immediately rushed forward to protect the soul lamp, and the two maids also got out of the way when Liang Wan'er was about to collide with her.
"Sister Ji, save my cousin, he's dying!"
"Put the lamp on the desk."
"Good!"
Liang Wan'er carefully placed the soul lamp on the stone table in the middle of the pavilion, and then took three steps back, looking nervously at a girl in a black and white dress behind the stone case.
The lights flickered.
A face that was so beautiful that it made people tremble loomed in the light.
The beauty of a girl is not the kind of frost that is high up and rejects people thousands of miles away, but a peerless stunner who seems to have fallen into the world.
Her eyebrows are slender, with a gentle and feminine water, and the corners of her eyes are slightly raised, revealing a spiritual wisdom like a fox.
The two different styles, perfectly blended together, coupled with the noble atmosphere between the expressions, can be called flashy but not arrogant, charming but not coquettish.
She is Ji Ruxue!
The youngest great chess player in Daqin!
Ji Ruxue got up slowly and waved a hand on the stone table.
Silver-white silk threads immediately flew on the stone table.
The silk threads are as slender as a hair and as long as green willows, constantly crisscrossing and crisscrossing between the flights, and soon appear as a three-foot chessboard.
Then, her right hand reached out towards the chessboard, and two slender snow-white fingers appeared at some point.
"Smack!"
White falls.
It is fixed in the position of Tian Yuan of the mold plate.
At the same time, four sunspots appeared in all directions of the white sons, tightly surrounding the white seeds.
"Huh? A small night watchman assessment will actually have a dead end of four ghosts surrounding. Ji Ruxue's slender eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Huh? Sister Ji, save my cousin, please! Liang Wan'er wanted to kneel.
"Wan'er, you and my sister, you don't have to be like this." Ji Ruxue's right hand was raised lightly again, and Liang Wan'er, who had not yet knelt down, stood up involuntarily.
"Sister Ji!" Liang Wan'er's eyes were red.
"Wan'er, don't worry, it's better to think about your cousin's future first." The corners of Ji Ruxue's mouth are slightly raised, her chest is proud, and her style is like a peerless enchantress.
“???” Liang Wan'er.
……
……
Jiang Chaoge could guess that the old man would go to the Land Temple, but there were actually two reasons, first, Ah Li's joyful performance; Second, the old man tied Liang Ping'an's body too strongly.
However, he couldn't guess the real purpose of the old man pushing Liang Ping'an's body to the Land Temple.
If it is just to hide the corpse, it is obviously more suitable between the mountains and the wilderness, and there is no need to walk five miles of mountain roads at all.
Moreover, the Land Temple is not a good place to hide corpses.
In this era, worship gods.
There will be people in the Land Temple who offer incense to worship, and there will even be some passers-by who spend the night in the Land Temple, hiding their bodies in the Land Temple, which is easy to find.
So, what is the reason why the old man didn't bring Liang Ping'an's body here?
"Grandpa the village chief, let's go home!"
"Home?" Liang Ping'an woke up suddenly, and seemed to have noticed the land temple in front of him: "What kind of place is this?" Land Temple? Why did you bring me here?! ”
The old man didn't answer, and the two Ah Li ran towards the Land Temple holding hands and jumping up.
Jiang Chaoge continued to observe in the back.
The land temple in front of you is obviously not built recently, because the walls are already a little old, and there are many holes on it, which are formed by the bluestone after years of wind and sun.
The temple door of the Land Temple is painted with red paint, but the paint has fallen off a lot, and there are even a few knife marks and two muddy footprints on it.
The old man pushed the wheelbarrow to the temple gate.
Then, he quickly untied Liang Ping'an's body from the wheelbarrow, and his movements were very skillful.
After untying Liang Ping'an, he carried Liang Ping'an's body on his back again, and walked towards the temple step by step with a steady pace.
And one of them, Ah Li, walked in front of Jiang Chaoge at this time: "Brother, this is the Land Temple I told you, do you want to spend the night here tonight?" ”
"I don't spend the night, I just pass by, see and go." Jiang Chaoge shook his head.
"Brother is such a good person!" Ah Li grinned.
“……”
Liang Ping'an seemed to see some problems, and immediately shouted: "I don't spend the night either, I'm just passing by, can you let me go?" ”
"Bad guys!" Ah Li glared at Liang Ping'an: "You just entered the earthen house, and besides, you still look at me in the mirror and stab me with a sword, hum!" ”
After speaking, Ah Li entered the Land Temple again.
Liang Ping'an was obviously a little uncomfortable, he wanted to go up and fight hard, but this thing was ...... There is really only one, not to mention that he knows Ah Li's strength very well.
Jiang Chaoge did not enter the Land Temple immediately.
Because, he faintly felt that there seemed to be something terrible in the Land Temple, which was not an intuition out of thin air, but the Yin Qi in this Land Temple, very heavy!
Those who are pure yin and have no yang are ghosts; Those who are pure yang and have no yin are immortals; Those who mix yin and yang are also people.
This is not only the difference between ghosts, immortals, and humans, but also the cultivation route of ghosts, immortals, and people.
"Senior, I've told me everything in the note, why don't you save me?" Liang Ping'an seems to have put his only hope on Jiang Chaoge.
"I didn't say I was going to save you." Jiang Chaoge blinked his empty and godless eyes, and then pointed to Ah Li, who had entered the Land Temple: "Have you forgotten?" I'm in league with her. ”
“……”
Liang Ping'an was stunned, but immediately whispered again: "I know that my predecessors are not in the same group as her, and my predecessors' cultivation is unfathomable, how can they be in the company of ghosts?" If my guess is correct, the seniors are looking for a moment to make a move, right? ”
Still a little clever ghost?
Jiang Chaoge was silent, it didn't matter if he was a gang or not, the important thing was that he wanted to read Liang Ping'an's memory.
Therefore, he didn't pay attention to Liang Ping'an anymore, but slowly approached the temple gate by the faint moonlight and looked into the temple.
