In the next second, his eyes flashed.

After a moment, he lowered his gaze and closed his eyes again before Sang Ling looked over.

Sang Ling didn't notice Xie Hanzhou's abnormality, and only thought that he was still pretending to sleep. glanced at the rain curtain outside, and saw that the rain did not stop, so he lazily leaned over and hooked the dry socks to wear.

Xie Hanzhou felt that his ears were slightly burning, and even his heartbeat was a little inexplicable.

It was very dark in the wild temple, and his gaze just now was naturally attracted by the whiteness by the fire.

Before the fire.

The weak and gorgeous girl is sitting at a half-height place, and she is lifting the crimson Luo skirt, revealing a touch of tender white skin.

The jade foot stretched out, and the remaining half was hidden under the skirt, vaguely unable to see clearly, the back of the foot collapsed, the jade-bead-like flawless toes were tightened, and slowly leaned over, the fiery red halo floated on the whiteness, more and more warm and white, and the living color was fragrant.

The aura worked, suppressing the restlessness of the heart mantra, and after a few breaths, Xie Hanzhou found that it was useless. He recited the mantra again, and the heat that connected to his heart slowly descended.

……

The outside of the temple was pitch black, and the sound of rain was constantly dripping from the eaves.

"Crackle!"

The wood in the fire burned out and fell into the fire with a small sound.

Sang Ling woke up from her dream suddenly, and the dark sky couldn't tell whether it was day or night for a while.

"What time is it?"

In a fog in his mind, he straightened up with his elbows, only to feel that the half-draped robe on his body slipped down with the movement, Sang Ling subconsciously grabbed it, and found that the robe was actually the clothes that Xie Hanzhou was wearing today.

She was a little blindsided, and at first she thought it was in a dream.

Suddenly, a familiar footstep was heard.

Soon, the voice stopped in front of her.

Sang Ling raised her head, a little unresponsive, and watched as Xie Hanzhou reached out and took the robe from her hand and put it back on.

"Awake? It's already time to apply. ”

The gaze was indifferent, as if nothing had happened, or that the clothes she was wearing on her body were just a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning.

Sang Ling looked at him, and then at the robe he put on again, for some reason she always felt that Xie Hanzhou looked weird.

A little red lips pursed, she pointed to Xie Hanzhou's robe with some embarrassment, and whispered:

"Xianjun, I wore this dress just now, why don't I wash it for you? Or do you get another one? ”

These few whispers also carry the coquettishness of just waking up, and every sentence sounds like coquettishness.

Xie Hanzhou's eyes drooped slightly, his eyebrows seemed to stretch a little, and he scooped a cup of tea from the pottery cup hanging from the fire, and handed it to Sang Ling:

"Not necessarily. Freshly brewed tea soup and drink it while it's hot. ”

Sang Ling lowered her head and blew carefully, and then drank it in her hand little by little.

The hot water rubbed the fragrance of tea and poured into the throat, flowing down the heart and lungs, as if it could melt the rain all over the body, and Sang Ling involuntarily drank more.

Seeing that she had finished drinking, Xie Hanzhou reached out to take the tea bowl and scooped another bowl and handed it over, his movements were natural.

Sang Ling enjoyed Xie Hanzhou's carefulness and appropriateness with peace of mind, and asked:

"Xianjun, are you going to live in the Wild Temple tonight? It's damp and cold, so it's uncomfortable. ”

Xie Hanzhou lowered his eyebrows and took the empty tea bowl stuffed by Sang Ling, and saw that she waved her hand impatiently to say no, the look in her eyes stopped slightly, and then she pinched the tea bowl and took it back.

Sang Ling shifted her seat, avoiding the rain seeping down from the roof, a little irritable.

"It's raining all the time, why is there still so much water? Is there a village near Xianjun? ”

Xie Hanzhou nodded lightly:

"I've just been there, and about a little bit further on, there's a village where I can spend the night."

Sang Ling rubbed her eyes, immediately stood up from the ground, and said happily:

"Then go quickly, don't go, it's dark."

Her feet landed on the ground, and she moved her sore limbs, and she suddenly found that both boots were worn on her feet, and she was a little confused:

"Didn't I wear shoes before I went to bed?"

muttered simply, she put it behind her and didn't think about it, but she didn't notice that when she mentioned the boots, Xie Hanzhou on the other side turned the fire with her fingertips sluggish.

didn't want to stay in the wild temple, Sang Ling opened her mouth and babbled to urge Xie Hanzhou to go, Xie Hanzhou quietly listened to her command to pack up the things, the fire was extinguished, and set off.

Before dark, the two finally arrived in front of a village.

The village is not large, with about a dozen households by sight, and the chickens and dogs smell each other.

Sang Ling smiled pleasantly and called through the fence.

After two sounds, an aunt came out laughing.

After a few simple questions, the aunt saw that they were monks, and they were good-looking, so they must not be bad people.

He let the two of them in, and smiled a little embarrassedly:

"We don't have a lot of farmhouses, so we may have to settle for a while."

It is better to have a house to shelter from the wind and rain than to live in the wild temple that leaks from all sides. Sang Ling immediately thanked her aunt for her kindness and followed her into the house.

The room is not big, and the bare flat bed without curtains is simply covered with a thick quilt. The aunt brought hot water and food again, and went back to continue to be busy.

After using the meal, Sang Ling put the dishes and chopsticks into the bamboo basket, scratched her head, and looked at the room with a little annoyance.

Xie Hanzhou took the initiative to say:

"I'm not sleepy for the time being, you can sleep."

Sang Ling didn't speak, just stared at him with big eyes.

Xie Hanzhou looked back for a moment, his eyes flashed, as if he thought of something, he put aside his gaze, and for a moment, retreated to the door, and turned his back.

"I'll stay here, you wash up. After all, there are two lives here, pay attention to yourself. ”

Sang Ling nodded her head and carried the hot water into the inner room.

First there was a rustling sound, and then the sound of water, little by little. The handkerchief was pinched and dipped in water, stirred, and lifted again, and a pool of water flowed out.

The sound of clothes rubbing, the sound of "banging" water, and the leisurely minor key that Sang Ling hummed softly......

Every sound, every time, makes people regret and want to get out.

He shouldn't have stayed here, and if he went out a little more, he would have avoided the voices and the unprovoked abrasive waiting.

Xie Hanzhou's jaw tightened slightly, and even his upright body was slightly stiff.

And yet at this moment.

There was a sudden commotion and noise outside the house, the courtyard door was slammed to the sky, and the woman's crying and pleading voice was high-pitched and hoarse:

"Are the immortals here? My son is gone, and he's been captured by a youkai! Ask the immortal master for help! ”

The aunt of the owner of the house also hurriedly ran out, opened the courtyard door, and said a few words back and forth, and the aunt left the villagers who came over outside the courtyard and walked over facing this side.

Xie Hanzhou's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he was about to speak, but Sang Ling in the inner room had already walked over:

"What youkai?"

Xie Hanzhou turned his head to see that Sang Ling's original scarlet Luo skirt had been replaced by a silk tunic skirt, and even the bun was put down, and he only loosely held the hairband, ready to sleep.

After a pause, Xie Hanzhou's deep voice sounded slowly:

"Put on the cloak, it's cold at night."

Sang Ling gave him a strange look, thinking to himself, this kind of sudden inexplicable concern is really unnecessary.

Then, instead of putting on any cloak, he reached out and pushed the door open.

When the two of them staggered by, Sang Ling was surrounded by a faint moisture, mixed with a little fragrant, which filled the tip of Xie Hanzhou's nose.

He couldn't help but take a big step back, and only after half a sound did he raise his leg and walk over.

There are a lot of such things along the way, Xie Hanzhou has few words, and people are cold, the villagers are very afraid of him, basically all the things that communicate with the villagers are handed over to Sang Ling, and the same is true for the previous night.

Sang Ling already understood the cause and effect in a few words, and according to the aunt's retelling, the context of the matter was roughly sorted out.

Outside the village, there is a wild lotus pond halfway up the mountain near the wild temple, and no one knows how many years it has been.

It was only in recent years that the villagers passed by and saw a monster born in the wild lotus pond.

At first, the village was scared for a while, and they also thought about going to the immortal master to eliminate it. But firstly, the village is remote and poor, and he can't make up the cost of going out to the silk city to find an immortal master, and secondly, the immortal master never cares about such a little demon.

It dragged on after a while.

Later, the villagers saw that the wild lotus root demon was not in trouble, and they helped the villagers a little, so they left it alone.

But I didn't expect things to change recently!

First, the chickens and ducks disappeared inexplicably, and then the hunters in the village found that the wild beasts in the mountains had been sucked dry of their blood and thrown into the mountain col.

There were so many that before the villagers could panic and respond, it was the turn of the children.

Although they are not dead, they always have a serious illness when they come back, and the children are the flesh of their parents, and the more times they do, the villagers' desire to kill the demon becomes stronger and stronger.

When the village woman saw that Xie Hanzhou also came out of the house, she rushed in from outside the courtyard despite her husband's obstruction, knelt on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed for help:

"Immortal Master! Immortal Master, my son is only eight years old this year, although he is a little naughty, but he is kind-hearted, and often defends the demon, the child is not sensible, since my parents teach not. But he's just a kid, he was also arrested once last year, and he was bedridden for three months when he came back, and this time the demon arrested him again, I'm afraid, I'm afraid my son won't be able to hold on! Ask the immortals to help! Ask for an immortal! ”

Sang Ling also briefly explained the situation to Xie Hanzhou, he nodded, stretched out his hand to help the village woman with a bruise on her forehead, comforted her, and took Sang Ling out of the door.

The villagers all held torches and waited at the entrance of the village, saying that they were reluctant to leave several times, and escorted the two up the mountain all the way.

The demonic aura is obvious, and following the past, the end is the wild lotus pond described by the villagers before. The location was secluded, and it had rained before, so the two of them didn't notice it when they came down the mountain.

First enter from the mountain road, stop at the position of the halfway up the mountain, but it is necessary to come down from the mountain road through a large section of the tribulus terrestris path, almost around the back of the original mountain road, in a hidden corner, only to find the wild lotus pond where the lotus is high and no one is there.

This journey was hard, Sang Ling's palms were accidentally cut a few times, not to mention those ordinary mortals, but no one flinched, and countless torches illuminated this dark night as bright as day.
