Chapter 22: Ghosts
Qian Qunxiao, Lu Jianping and the four of them had dinner, and the shopkeeper arranged two upper rooms for the four of them to live in. Running all the way, the other three still felt that it was nothing, only Caidie, who had never practiced martial arts, felt that her little arms and legs couldn't stand it. Back in the room, she chatted with Chunhe casually, and fell asleep early, and after a while, she made an even slight snoring sound.
Chunhe secretly laughed in her heart that this girl was honest and cute, and she fell asleep after a while.
Qian Qunxiao in the west wing room on the second floor tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, since leaving Yingzhou Island to come to South Vietnam to investigate his own life experience, too many bizarre things have happened along the way, and all this seems to have grasped a clue at present, but in fact there is not much progress. The thought of this made it difficult for him to sleep, and he became slightly upset. In addition, during the day, when he was eating in the inn, he found some Jianghu people, although they were dressed like ordinary people, but the discerning person knew that the behavior of those people did not match their identity at all, so he must always be vigilant.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the third watch, and the surrounding was as silent as death. A black shadow appeared like an eagle falcon on a hillside not far from the inn, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
"Bang" "Bang" "Bang" "Bang"
Outside the inn, there was a sound of the husband's watch, and it was three watches.
After half a cup of hot tea, the black shadow from just now reappeared in a dark grove two miles away from the inn.
In the vast night sky, a bright moon crept out of the clouds, and the cold light sprinkled on the treetops, refracted on the ground, forming mottled points of light.
A small, dilapidated temple in the grove was bathed in moonlight, the door was closed, there was not a trace of light inside, the paint on the door was mottled, and the doorway was overgrown with weeds, apparently abandoned for many years.
The silence around was deathly, so quiet that a single leaf could be clearly heard falling on the ground.
After a cup of hot tea, a black shadow appeared outside the ruined temple, wearing a mask with green fangs on his head, wearing a wide robe, not fat or thin, not tall or short, and from the figure, it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
The black shadow glanced around, and after making sure that no one was there, he picked up the knocker on the temple door with his right hand and knocked it lightly twice, then reversed the knocker with a slight force, and then knocked it three more times.
A thick middle-aged man's voice suddenly came from inside the door: "A sword opens the gate of heaven"
"Let me go anywhere"
The black shadow replied, and his voice sounded very strange, as if he was talking in a different voice, and it was like a legendary ventriloquish.
The temple door opened with a "branch", and the black shadow flashed, and the temple door actually closed automatically with a "branch".
A moment later, a faint candlelight reflected in the dilapidated doors and windows, and two figures appeared on the doors and windows. In addition to the black shadow who had just put on the mask, there was also a majestic figure, and the figure was a man.
"Why do you call this seat?"
The masked shadow turned around, and the voice was still strange, even sounding a little awkward, and it was completely impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
"Sect Leader Qiqi, there is news from the sect that the map of the specific location of Piaoyao Pear Blossom Island has been found, but there is only one copy, and the other four must be gathered as soon as possible to put together a complete map."
The majestic man behind the black shadow bent down and clenched his fists towards the sect leader, and his voice was thick and middle-aged man.
Listening to the middle-aged man's tone, the identity of the black shadow is the deputy sect leader, and his position is already very high, but what kind of sect it is, but it is unknown.
"What does the Sect Master mean?"
The strange voice of the black shadow came from behind the mask again.
"What the sect leader means is that this newly emerged Qian Qunxiao may help us find the other four maps, but it is more likely to be an obstacle to our future hegemony, so the sect leader feels that if Qian Qunxiao can't serve this sect, he must be eliminated immediately."
"This person's martial arts are unfathomable, and it may not be easy to kill him. What's more, he still has the two girls on Penglai Island in the Bohai Sea as helpers by his side, who dares to offend Penglai Island in the martial arts? ”
"The meaning of the chief protector is to send thousands of troops and horses in the future, with strong bows and crossbows, to raze Penglai Island to the ground."
"That's the only way, nothing else, this seat will go first, you don't want to send a flying pigeon to this seat in the future, I will send someone to contact you."
As soon as the black shadow finished speaking, the candle flame in the temple suddenly went out.
Everything was back to the deathly silence it had been. No one came out of the temple again, and the two people in the temple seemed to have evaporated from the world.
