Chapter 66: The Prisoner
What that underground copy looks like is impossible to figure out just by imagination.
Now that NPC is already in the Humble Fire Temple, Chen Meng can't wait for a moment, and he won't go back to the Drunken Immortal Tower, so he walks directly in the direction of the post station.
This time he didn't call the two brothers along.
The Humble Fire Temple is not a copy, and there are no restrictions on access that requires three people to enter.
And now it's dark, and the temperature on the snowfield is frighteningly low.
Chen Meng practiced clumsy fire and was not afraid of the cold.
But his two brothers couldn't.
And the two of them followed him for a day, so let them rest and rest at night.
Chen Meng thought so, and soon arrived at the gate of the post station in the capital.
The inns in the game world are open all night, and the lanterns are still lit and the doors are open.
Chen Meng chartered a carriage and set foot on the road to the big snowfield.
……
……
The night in the snowfield was terrifyingly cold, and the wind blew on Chen Meng's face like a knife.
The Great Awakening Temple, where the post station is located, is closed.
Chen Meng now has abundant true qi in his body, so he didn't ask the people at the post station to borrow horses, but just walked in the direction of clumsy fire in the snow.
The snow-capped mountain road at night is not easy to walk, although Chen Meng is not afraid of the cold, it still took an hour to reach the gate of the Humble Fire Temple.
"I don't know if this immortal monk sleeps at night."
Thinking like this, Chen Meng raised his hand and knocked on the temple door.
Knock Knock Knock –
There was a dull sound at the temple gate.
After a while, a tantric monk carrying a lantern opened the door.
"Ah, Master Chen is back, please come inside."
The monk used the word "back", as if Chen Meng had just left his temple.
However, Chen Meng did conduct a simulation an hour ago.
The monks in the temple can see his mock clone.
From this monk's point of view, Chen Meng did leave for a while and returned.
Chen Meng hugged him and said:
"I'm tired of the master leading the way, I have something to do with the abbot in the temple."
"That's nature, please come inside."
The monk was also very cooperative, and after saying a polite word, he invited Chen Meng into the temple.
At night, the Humble Fire Temple is much empty, and there are few people walking around the temple.
It seems that these undead monks also need sleep.
There was almost no light in the temple, so Chen Meng had to follow the lantern in the hand of the monk who led the way.
After walking a few steps, the two of them arrived in front of the Buddha hall where King Ming lived.
"It's here, donor go in, the abbot is waiting for you inside."
The monk clasped his hands together and said to Chen Meng reverently.
Chen Meng also hugged his fist and thanked him for leading the way.
Then he strode into the temple.
The everlasting lights in the main hall are still not extinguished, and the fire on the ground is like a sky full of stars.
Chen Meng carefully avoided the light under his feet and shouted into the shadows:
"King Ming! I'm coming! ”
After a while, King Ming's huge law image poked his head out of the shadows again.
This time he faced Chen Meng with that smiling face.
"Master Chen, come here, this female donor is waiting for you here."
Female benefactor?
The abbot should be talking about that NPC.
Was that NPC a woman?
Chen Meng became more and more curious.
The light of the lamps in the main hall was dim and difficult to see, so he had to follow the abbot's voice and walk to the depths of the Buddha hall.
As his footsteps moved, the two figures on the other side of the hall became clearer and clearer.
A figure is a withered and thin old monk, which is naturally the incarnation of King Ming.
The other figure was a little strange.
It was a woman in a nightdress.
The woman wore a mask, and her whole body was tied with rope, vaguely outlining her graceful figure.
She also seemed to have a rag stuffed in her mouth, and when she saw Chen Meng at this time, she could only let out a "woo" sound.
"King Ming, who are you?"
Chen Meng only said that this woman was tied up by King Ming, and looked at the old monk with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
But King Ming smiled and replied:
"Master Chen, you tied it up for her, have you forgotten?"
"Me?"
Chen Meng was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
That's what his doppelganger in the simulation does.
"This ......"
After understanding the situation, Chen Meng was a little embarrassed.
It is impossible for one's own doppelganger to tie people up for no reason.
Is there anything dangerous about this woman?
"King Ming, did I say it before, why did you tie her up?"
He tried to ask King Ming for help.
King Ming shook his head:
"You just said that you were afraid that she would run away, so you would come back to untie her later.
She is a woman, and the monks in my temple are not good at helping to untie her.
Let's talk, the old man is going back to rest. ”
It seemed that King Ming didn't want to be present to listen, Chen Meng nodded, and watched the old monk leave.
There were only two people left in the Buddha hall.
Chen Meng looked at the bound woman again.
Since the doppelganger hasn't reminded himself, it should be possible to unbind.
He simply ripped off the NPC's mask.
The fire flickered, and her face was finally revealed.
This girl was born quite smart, but she was not stunning.
At this point, the rag in her mouth was finally removed, and she gasped for air.
When Chen Meng saw her face, his head was a little big for a while:
"Qingqing? How are you? ”
This NPC is none other than the female spy who was sent by Huo Xiu to the Raptors Village to inquire about the news-Qingqing.
When Qingqing heard this, she said angrily:
"Master Chen, what are you pretending? We've already met underground! And this line of yours has already been said when you were underground, can you change it? ”
"Uh......"
Chen Meng felt embarrassed.
The one who met Qingqing was naturally his own doppelganger.
It seems that not only the Humble Fire Temple, as long as it is an NPC in that underground dungeon, you can see your own simulated clone.
The name of that copy seems to be called "Fairy World", and most of it is also a place with problems in time and space.
"I don't know what my doppelganger talked to her? Why did you tie her up at the end......"
Chen Meng looked at Qingqing's face, and he was a little confused about where to ask for a while.
On the contrary, it was Qingqing who spoke first:
"Master Chen, why are you stunned? Help me untie me.
Didn't you say you'd help me loosen my ties when you came back? ”
Chen Meng had no impression of this at all, but seeing that she was real and didn't look like a lie, he had to untie her first.
Qingqing then stood up, twisted the joints that were tied up all over his body, and said:
"Okay, if you have any questions, just ask."
When she spoke, she used the word "and".
It seems that Chen Meng in the simulation has asked her a lot of questions.
But Chen Meng, who was outside the simulation, didn't know anything.
He had no choice but to frown and ask from the beginning:
"Qingqing, why should I tie you up?"
When Qingqing heard this, her eyes were full of incredulity.
"What? What is this called a problem? What did you do on your own, and you came to ask me what I was doing? ”
Chen Meng just smiled bitterly in his heart:
"Uh, Qingqing, you just treat me as amnesia, tell me again."
He didn't know why he wanted to tie her up at this time, he just felt that he had tied up others for so long for no reason, and he was a little sorry in his heart.
So subconsciously he was very polite to her.
Qingqing frowned and said:
"Master Chen, aren't you making me happy?"
Chen Meng shook his head categorically:
"Of course not!"
Qingqing sighed and said;
"Alright then, I'll tell you. I didn't want to leave the 'Thousand Gods Temple', and you insisted that I go, so you tied me up. ”
Temple of a Thousand Gods......
That should be the name of that palace.
Chen Meng took note of this information, and then asked:
"Then why don't you want to leave that place?"
Qingqing listened to this question, pouted, and said:
"That's the question...... I haven't answered you before, and I can't tell you now. ”
