Chapter 29: Ancient Temple (Ambergris)
There are no street lights here, and the lights are all lanterns hung by the shops along the street, and when it is dark, the occasional passer-by in the town is also carrying lanterns in their hands, and their steps are hurried.
By eight o'clock, even the pedestrians had disappeared, and the whole town fell into a deathly silence.
Qiu Li flipped directly from the window to the outdoors, this body is very light, the breathing and exhalation method taught by Master Huiyuan has penetrated into the memory of every muscle, Qiu Li quietly walked on the streets of the silent town.
She returned to the blacksmith where her master and brother had disappeared.
The old iron head was already sleeping soundly in the back room, snoring. She jumped into the small courtyard and entered the outer room, this workshop, she carefully rummaged through the inside, and found a bag of silver for her, and the handkerchief wrapped in it was still the shopkeeper of the restaurant.
She took it unceremoniously, and as soon as she turned and turned over the yard, back into the street, and down the alley she came to the pond, where the smell of the night air grew stronger.
It was pitch black at the edge of the pond, and the door at the stairs was closed, and the light was shining through.
She leaned her ear on the door and listened for a moment, and there was a faint sound of bamboo inside.
The walls were a few inches higher than the blacksmith's shop, and she felt a rope from her bosom, which was a must-have as a mage disciple.
The claws on the rope hooked the wall lightly, making only a slight sound, and with a kick of her feet, with the help of the rope, the person had already crossed the wall and landed lightly beside the water.
Fortunately, she had been here during the day and remembered the terrain.
Along the direction of the water, the sound of silk and bamboo became clearer.
Lanterns are hung every dozen meters on both sides of the stream, and although they are not bright, the surrounding scenery can still be distinguished.
After walking through a Gulf Stream, there is a brightly lit courtyard, the courtyard door is wide open, and a family member is sitting in the doorway shaking his head and listening to the music, and there are many women laughing in the courtyard, and the music is as clear as if it is playing in the ears.
Qiu Li walked to the gate of the courtyard with a cat's waist, put on an "invisible rag" and carefully entered the courtyard.
What caught my eye was not a group of gorgeously dressed beauties, but countless monsters with strange shapes, most of them wearing human shirts, sitting around at the moment, sipping fine wine and eating snacks.
It is not humans who make the sound, but a flock of birds with sharp beaks, each imitating a musical instrument, and one after the other, even playing it decently.
Akiri walked around the strangely shaped monsters and walked briskly towards the house behind the courtyard.
The pattern here is somewhat like the courtyard where Longxi Temple lives itself, but it is larger here, behind the courtyard are three main houses and two ear rooms, and there is a road behind the main house, which is still the same pattern.
And the stream of water still winds along the corners of the house, stretching inward.
Akiri was pressed for time, so she had to search all the way from the first room.
When she found the second row of ear rooms, there was a "drop" warning in her mind, she flashed into the ear room, and when the invisibility time came, she quickly put away the invisible rag, and the light of the lantern in the corridor shone through the window lattice, and she looked around, this is a kitchen.
There was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, and a fat aunt led a maidservant, yawning and complaining to her, "I still have to add food, these little lady's skins are really begging, it is difficult to come out once, and I have to be busy." β
"Black girl, what can you do!" The handmaid complimented carefully.
Qiu Li looked around, the stove was low, there was nowhere to hide, she looked up at the beam, almost didn't have time to think, the flying claws grabbed the beam, she kicked her feet, she had already followed the rope on the beam, just put away the rope, the door was pushed open with a "squeak".
It seems that this black girl is in a bad mood.
The maidservant took out the fire fold and lit the oil lamps on both sides of the wall, and the kitchen suddenly became brightly lit, and Qiu Li's body shrunk into a ball.
Fortunately, these are just monsters, if they are ghosts, I am afraid that I will not be able to hide this time.
Qiu Li was thinking about it, on the other side of the beam, suddenly a head poked over, the head was very beautiful, but what was not beautiful was that her neck was very long, her body was lying on the other side of the beam, her neck spanned a distance of two meters, and she brought her head close to Qiu Li.
Akiri shuddered, trying to maintain her composure, and she looked at the beautiful woman's head.
Seeing that she was not panicked and did not scream, but was interested, she stretched out a finger lightly, and the finger became longer and longer and touched Qiuli's hair, seeing that she did not react.
Fingers continued to touch her chin, and as if amused, she touched her nose with her hand again.
The kitchen room below was already making a fire and stir-frying dishes, and the smoke was so thick that Qiu Li couldn't help but itch her nose.
But the finger was not yet flat, and rubbed against the end of her nose.
As soon as the voice came out, Qiu Li panicked, and the black girl below looked up suddenly, only to see the beautiful woman's head and body, jumping down lightly.
Only then did the black aunt relax, "Yun Niang, why are you, come out to play again." β
"Well, what are you cooking?" Yun Niang's voice turned out to be extremely beautiful, and after her neck returned, she looked like an ordinary human.
Qiu Li looked at Yun Niang without mentioning herself at all, and she was also stunned.
After waiting for a while, several people left one after another, and then she jumped off the beam.
As soon as he stood still, a person leaned out next to him, it was Yun Niang, and in the dim light of the kitchen, Qiu Li found that she was half a head taller than herself.
"Which doll are you? How can you hide here alone? Yun Niang asked.
Qiu Li realized that she was just a twelve-year-old child, and it was probably because of this reason that they were not defensive about themselves.
"I'm looking for someone, my master and brother are gone." Qiu Li's face was distressed.
"No one has ever been here, except for you, the doll." Yun Niang told her with a serious face.
"I'll find you when you climb through the wall." Yun Niang looked at Qiu Li, whose face changed color, and smiled, "No one can escape my eyes, your master and senior brother are not here." β
Qiu Li listened to it and already believed it in her ears. It's a matter of minutes for her to deal with herself, and she doesn't need to be kind to herself at all.
"Then I'm leaving." Qiu Li was stunned, she couldn't be invisible at the moment, even those monsters in the yard couldn't be avoided, if she really wanted to leave, she would have to stay for another hour, and wait for the cooling time of the invisible rag to pass.
"Poof." It was Yun Niang's laughter, "Close your eyes, I'll send you out." β
Qiu Li's heart was horizontal, she closed her eyes, and a gust of wind spun to lift her body into the air, and then the wind whistled in her ears, almost a few blinks of an eye, Yun Niang's voice sounded, "It's here." β
Akiri opened her eyes, her feet were already on the ground, and she looked around, this was the edge of the pond.
She bent down, "Thank you Sister Yun for rescuing, where did you come from here?" Will I ever see you again? β
Yun Niang smiled, "It's a gesture." β
She pointed to the pond, "Once this water dries up, we will leave, you still don't want to stay in this town for a long time, if you find someone, go to Xicheng." β
She waved her hand, jumped up, and the whole person fluttered into the courtyard......
Seeing her leaving, Qiuli walked to the edge of the pond and squatted down, scooped up the pool water with her hands, and a few lines of text appeared in front of her:
