Chapter 106: Change
Although Lin Xixue couldn't explore the Sanyuan Temple at the moment, and she couldn't rashly look for the temple blessings of the City God Temple, there was still one thing she could solve now.
Previously, she had asked the Ziren Pavilion in the city to repair the Wuzeng Temple in Linghu Village, but she didn't know how the progress had been in the past two months.
She left the room and instructed the maids in the house to take care of Xu Zhiyi, so she put on a veil and went to the Ziren Pavilion in the city.
Perhaps because it was getting late, the door to the Azusa Pavilion was closed, and I could only see a flickering oil lamp burning on the counter through the window paper.
She knocked softly, but no one answered, but she could clearly see a figure sitting by the oil lamp, she frowned, and knocked heavily again, this time someone answered.
"It's unfortunate that you're here, the museum hasn't taken orders in recent days, so I'll take a trip for nothing, please go back."
As soon as Lin Xixue heard this tone through the door, she knew that this was the shopkeeper who had received her before.
"There is a shopkeeper Lao, I asked your museum to repair the temple in Linghu Village before, I don't know if it is going well now?" She shouted through the door.
The shopkeeper opened the door a small crack, and after confirming that the visitor was correct, he welcomed her into the hall.
"Girl, I won't tell you, I'm afraid it's difficult to repair this temple."
I don't know why, Lin Xixue felt that the tone of the shopkeeper's speech to her suddenly became much colder.
If it's just a bad attitude, it's okay, but when the shopkeeper received the money before, he clearly swore that there would be no problem, so why did he say that he couldn't fix it now?
Her face also turned cold, and she said, "What do you mean by this, I paid all the money at once, could it be that I am a woman?" ”
"Humph! If it weren't for the girl, how could the Shaodong family fall into such a dangerous place as Linghu Village? The shopkeeper snorted coldly, and there was a lot of resentment in his tone.
"If the shopkeeper has something to say, he might as well say it clearly."
Lin Xixue was not interested in bearing this kind of nonsensical blame, so she simply let the shopkeeper make it clear.
"Good!" The shopkeeper was even more furious when he heard this, and his beard was blown by his snort, and his back molars crunched.
"I don't know how you bewitched the Shaodong family, the young owner has always been promiscuous, but after receiving your list, it was like falling into the evil spirit, and he had to go to Linghu Village to supervise the construction in person."
Lin Xixue was speechless in her heart, this gentleman is unilaterally interesting to me, and wants to try his best to fulfill my request, what does it have to do with me, I didn't know in advance that he was going?
Besides, he went to supervise the construction, why was he in danger again?
"He volunteered to go, what does it have to do with me, I didn't assign him to go, besides, why did Linghu Village become a dangerous situation?"
"Not long ago, the young owner ignited the signal flare used to save his life, and the master immediately sent the family to rescue the guests, but none of these guests came back."
"It didn't take long for Xinliang City to declare martial law, strictly prohibiting any idle people from entering and leaving, and the lord summoned a group of brave men with a lot of money, but he couldn't get out of the city."
"Master, she was already angry because the second miss of the Xu family ran away and the marriage contract was annulled, and now the young owner has no news, life and death are unknown, everything is because of the list assigned by you, girl!"
The shopkeeper pointed at Lin Xixue, his eyes widened, and he said with spittle.
"You know what?" Lin Xixue took a step forward, and his figure appeared behind the shopkeeper like a ghost, and the horizontal knife was already on his neck, "I don't like to be pointed at. ”
"I don't like to be held accountable for this kind of unwarranted accountability." She leaned over the shopkeeper's ear, and her seemingly gentle voice was full of murderous intent.
"You took the order, you assigned the manpower, you opened the price, and now you have to blame me for the emergency."
"I usually call this kind of behavior, anger."
The shopkeeper was paralyzed by Lin Xixue's tone, and he couldn't even think of words to beg for mercy for a while.
The next moment, the horizontal knife came out of its sheath, and a cold glow appeared, but the hand wielding the knife suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Lin Xixue held the knife behind her back, held the scabbard in front of her forehead, struggled to push the door and ran, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
She didn't know how far she ran, picked up a large pool of water from the front of a house, and splashed it on her face.
She tilted her head, closed her eyes, and remained motionless. Crystal droplets of water slid down the white neck, wetting the neckline, like a jade puppet standing alone in the moonlight.
I don't know how long she stayed where she was, but she finally calmed down again.
The indiscriminate anger of this shopkeeper is naturally extremely hateful.
But sin is not unto death.
On the contrary, it was the matter of Wuzeng Temple that gave Lin Xixue a headache, and he thought that there would be no more changes in this matter, but he didn't expect it to be complicated again.
However, there was one thing that Lin Xixue couldn't understand.
The last time he caused trouble in Xinliang City, the Taoist priest of the Sanyuan Temple arrived in an instant.
Now there seems to be something quite bad happening in Xinliang City and Linghu Village, which is not far away, why are these Taoist priests missing?
Since it is a Taoist temple in the line of Yunzhou's enshrined state religion, and it is usually worshiped by the people with incense, shouldn't it be possible to come forward to solve the problem at this moment?
The temple of the City God Temple may know something, but it is difficult for him to find him now.
What happened to this Linghu Village, and why did Gu Yu send a signal flare for help?
She didn't care about the life or death of this gentleman, but she promised the lord that she would renovate the temple for him, and now that something happened in the middle of the repair, she couldn't ignore it.
She still has to go and investigate this matter herself.
She came to the edge of the city wall, lifted the hem of her skirt, jumped up, stepped on the wall one after another, and borrowed her strength to find the blind spot when the archers at the head of the city blinked, and crossed the city head with a dodge and landed steadily outside the city.
Since she obtained the Five Evil Yin Thunder Diagram, the strength of her physical body has long since changed, and what she couldn't do before is now effortless.
She found the direction of Linghu Village, and with a light tap of her toes, the whole person jumped out dozens of feet, not so much running on the ground, but more like flying on the ground.
It didn't take long for the familiar sea of bamboo to appear in her field of vision, but beyond this sea of bamboo, she saw a circle of familiar orange-yellow powder.
She stopped, leaned down, and fanned the powder near her nose, and sure enough, there was a smell of rotten eggs, which was undoubtedly realgar powder.
There is also a large number of densely packed insect corpses curled up on the inside of this realgar powder.
Lin Xixue was a little surprised, he thought that the martial law in Xinliang City was related to the walking corpse, but he didn't expect that the source was actually in Linghu Village?
She frowned, stepped over the realgar powder, and continued to walk deeper into the bamboo forest.
This bamboo forest seems to be winding and winding, and it is difficult to run fast, but this elastic bamboo has become a foothold for her to catapult with her strength, and her speed of progress has increased instead of decreasing.
But as she ran, she suddenly heard a "click" of carapace collision.
She somehow felt the sound familiar, but before she could think about it, she saw a long yellow and black thing shoot into her ear.
But how swift she is at the moment, where can such things plot against her.
As soon as she stepped on the bamboo under her feet, she flew out in reverse with her strength, took out the light from the void with her left hand to break the night, and drew the knife with her right hand, and flipped it by inertia, and volleyed out a full moon-like knife light.
The yellow and black thing let out a "squeak" and was cut in two and fell to the ground.
The severed body curled and stretched, like a fish caught ashore, constantly lapping the ground, and the cut surface oozed yellow-brown mucus.
Lin Xixue saw the thing that fell on the ground clearly, and her pupils shrank suddenly......
