Chapter 26: Ancient Temples (Mountain Temples)
The campfire jumped, and their shadows were reflected at his feet, and as soon as the scholar said it, he realized that something was wrong, and he was about to stand up and explain a thing or two.
Mozi took a step forward, his voice was clear, with the crispness unique to a young man, and the long sword in his hand was aimed at the scholar sitting on the ground and asked, "Don't ask us yet, I'll ask you, you have no lamp in your hand, how did you find this mountain temple." ”
Qiu Li looked outside the door, and the dark mountain road was almost invisible.
Hui Yuan held the long knife and was silent, but the muscles in his arms were tense, and his ears were slightly flapping with the flow of air.
"There are lights, there are lights! When he entered the door, he was extinguished, and he did not believe it. The scholar pointed to the ground in the doorway, where there was a broken oil lamp.
"Come in, close the door." Huiyuan suddenly spoke.
The scholar climbed into the door with his hands and feet, the door behind him "snapped" shut, Huiyuan took out a piece of rune paper, pasted it behind the door, turned around and looked at the statue of the mountain god behind him, walked a few steps, leaned over and said: "Offended." ”
With your legs sinking, you can move the table in front of you off the ground and behind the door.
A moment later.
A woman's silver bell-like laughter came from outside, the laughter was brisk, and the tone of her voice was narrow, "Scholar, you didn't mean that you love the slave family, how can you run faster than a rabbit, let me find it easily." ”
Qiu Li looked at the scholar's face under the firelight, which was already a little redder than a monkey's butt, and the doubts about him in her heart were alleviated a little.
"How did I know you were a monster, I ......" the scholar was still arguing, but he heard an exclamation from outside the gate, "You actually found someone to harm me!" Akiri could see clearly, and the paper note attached to the door emitted a dark light.
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden strong wind outside the door, the mountain temple was small, in addition to the door in front of him, there was also a small window, the position was very high, and no one paid attention to it in the dark night.
Suddenly, the small window "clicked" and was blown open by the wind, and a beautiful face poked in.
Before she could speak, Hui Yuan slashed over, and a faint yellow light flashed on the knife wind.
The beautiful face disappeared suddenly.
"You found these outsiders to deal with me?" The beauty's voice was no longer as light as before, with some annoyance.
"It's just that Pingshui meets, why don't you retreat, everyone values peace?" Hui Yuan said loudly.
"I didn't find anyone to harm you, just a coincidence." The scholar's voice trembled, and he mustered up the courage to reply.
Qiu Li saw Mo Zigui's hand holding the sword, the knuckles were already white, and the young man was obviously scared, but he still blocked Qiu Li with half of his body.
Qiu Li waved the kitchen knife in her hand, and she didn't know that this knife didn't work.
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with monsters, it's just that I think this scholar is probably afraid of you, and if it's not suitable, it's better to shoot it in two, beauty, what do you think?" Huiyuan continued to persuade her bitterly.
"It's nice to say, I'm afraid that the demon souls under your command are not a hundred, but there are dozens." The voice of the beautiful woman was mixed with the sound of the wind, but it was heard very clearly.
"Those are damned people, you and I don't know each other, but there is no need to divide your life and death."
"You're funny, but it's a pity that you're too ugly, you ask the scholar to apologize to me, and I'll let him go."
As soon as the beautiful woman's voice outside the door fell, the eyes of several people in the room stared at the scholar in unison.
The scholar was seen by the two trembling waves, he gritted his teeth and took a step forward, and said loudly: "It's Xiaosheng who is presumptuous, living up to Miss's love, all the mistakes are my fault, I apologize to you here." ”
He made a deep gesture, and the woman outside the door sneered, "You know each other, my thirteen mother's words count, and we will write off the grievances on this matter, and there will be no time in the future." ”
The scholar straightened up, his face showed a hint of regret, the wind outside the door gradually stopped, and there was silence all around.
Qiu Li asked in a low voice, "Master, is she gone?" ”
Huiyuan nodded, "Although the demon is fierce, it is more trustworthy than some humans. ”
Only then did he see the kitchen knife in Qiu Li's hand, and asked in surprise, "Where did you come from?" ”
Qiu Li thought about it, but couldn't find the words, so she had to say: "I don't remember, I've been by my side for a long time." ”
Hui Yuan approached and picked up the kitchen knife and looked at the firelight for a long time, "This skill is amazing!" ”
The scholar approached the fire, "Thank you for saving your life, then I, can I sit here?" ”
Hui Yuan glanced at him, "No, you go over there." He pointed to the corner.
The scholar shrank, "Okay, I'll go over there." ”
Mozigui watched him sit down alertly, and then approached the fire and listened to the master.
"There are several spells fused in this, Xiao Li, look at my knife." Huiyuan turned the blade of the knife against the fire, and Qiuli vaguely saw a yellow light flashing inside.
Mozigui took out his sword, "It's the same as my sword." ”
"Of course, I built it!" Hui Yuan showed impatience on his face and glared at him, "The weapon I created can only fuse one rune, look at this knife of your junior sister." He turned his knife several times in front of the fire.
Qiu Li's eyes lit up, "Yes, several yellow lights." ”
The scholar in the corner suddenly spoke, "In addition to knowing martial arts, this master is also a spell forger, shouldn't he have a name, and may I ask the master's name?" ”
The corners of Hui Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he stood up, "You are really not an ordinary scholar, who are you?" ”
The scholar tidied up his messy hair, revealing a white and handsome face with black circles under his eyes, and he bowed his hand: "Sun Zixiao in Xialongteng County." ”
"You are the unlucky scholar Sun Zixiao whose name is too heavy and can't be suppressed!" Mozigui blurted out.
"Exactly down there." Sun Zixiao's face did not show the slightest embarrassment, but a smile appeared.
This is also a strange person, the Sun family is a big family in Longteng County, and Sun Zixiao is a sister-in-law, who is worth a lot of money, but it is this fortune that is extremely bad, but he can always find a glimmer of life at a critical moment.
It's just that the woman is very popular, and romantic stories are endless.
His friend drew his story into a picture book, but he didn't expect the picture book to be a bestseller, and over time, everyone knew Sun Zixiao as the number one person.
Qiu Li looked at him and extremely suspected that the so-called bad friend was himself.
Hui Yuan and Mo Zigui glanced at each other, revealing a strange smile. Qiu Li was stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to her senses.
The last demon hunt failed, and the money was empty, and now such a rich man is in front of him, isn't God sending money.
Huiyuan also bowed his hand gently: "I have heard the name for a long time, my name is Huiyuan, are you returning to your hometown or going out to visit friends?" ”
"You're the bearded mage Huiyuan? Look up for a long time. Sun Zixiao looked at Hui Yuan's beard, and his face showed a look of surprise, "I heard that there are demons rampant in Longxi Village, and I was about to go and get some materials for my friend's drawing book." ”
Qiu Li heard the words "Longxi Village" and her expression was stunned.
Sun Zixiao paused for a moment to look at Huiyuan and his party, and asked in a low voice: "If I hire Master Qiu to escort me to Longxi Village, can I ......?"
He went on to add: "Money is not an issue. He fumbled for a moment in the basket attached to the ground, and found a small wooden box, which he opened to the light, and inside were gold leaves, exuding an attractive luster, and he did not take some down, but handed over the whole box.
"It's okay, I happened to pass by Longxi Village in the direction I was going, so let's go along." Huiyuan took a bite boldly.
Mo Zigui reached out to take the wooden box, he turned to Qiu Li and winked, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Qiu Li relied on what the master said in her memory, where is this passing by, it is clearly a place where the eight poles can't hit together, and it is really a wealth that touches people's hearts.
In the afternoon, I will code another chapter~
