Volume 2 Dynasty Chapter 183 City God Temple
"The little official is underestimating our family when he says this!" Although the beggar was dissatisfied, he still smiled and stretched out three fingers: "These are three copper coins for the future." ”
Ah Lai didn't bother with him too much, took out three copper coins from his arms and handed them over.
"Bang."
The beggar threw the copper coin into the bowl, made a crisp sound, and in Ah Lai's eyes, he immediately covered the mouth of the bowl with his hand, and shook it rhythmically, and there were some strange words in his mouth, and he couldn't hear what he was saying, but it really looked like that.
After shaking it almost nine times or so, the beggar put down the porcelain bowl with a missing corner, looked at the copper coins in it, and sighed:
"Little official, you are the fate of the Heavenly Evil Lone Star! Few people around me have a good death! ”
Ah Lai lost his temper when he heard this, and he reached out to grab his copper coin.
Unexpectedly, the beggar seemed to have expected it, covered the mouth of the bowl, and said with a smile: "We didn't take your money, we earned it with our ability." ”
"If you really have the ability, where would you fall to such a state?" Ah Lai was angry: "I saw that you were pitiful, and I wanted you to say a few good words, but you guy was full of feces!" ”
The beggar was not annoyed or angry, and smiled: "Little brother, we are not wrong, you are the destiny of the Tiansha Lone Star, your two best friends, one with green silk and white hair, is approaching longevity, and the other is going crazy in the City God Temple in the city!" If you can't keep it, you're going to die. ”
Ah Lai wanted to break the beggar's hand and get the copper coin back, but when he heard him say this, he couldn't help but be stunned
I was about to look up at the beggar's appearance, but I only saw that the inn was full of diners, and the people were buzzing.
The beggar disappeared before his eyes, not even a trace remained.
"Ghosts? Hell! ”
Ah Lai stepped back in some panic, and quickly reacted again: "No, it's not like a ghost, how can there be a ghost who comes out during the day, he.... It's a monk, it's a monk like Brother Lu! ”
"What does he mean by how could he find me?"
"City God Temple, it's City God Temple!"
Ah Lai's expression was shocked, and he carefully recalled the scenes of his encounter with the beggar, and suddenly, as if he had caught some important clue, he screamed, and stumbled towards the inn.
His movements were extremely flustered, so much so that as soon as he ran in, he bumped into the shopkeeper who served the dishes.
I only heard a "clang", and a plate of soup was spilled on the ground.
Looking at the surprised eyes of the people around him, Ah didn't have time to think about it, let alone explain, but hurriedly asked the shopkeeper who was still complaining:
"Do you have a City God Temple here?"
"Guest officer, what are you doing in such a hurry?" The shopkeeper wiped the soup on his body with the sweat towel hanging on his shoulder, and muttered with a little dissatisfaction: "Could it be that the hell is it in the daytime?" ”
"Yes or no?" Ah Lai's tone was very eager.
"Yes, yes, yes."
The shopkeeper got up from the ground and wanted to leave, but Ah Lai grabbed him: "Where is this City God Temple?" ”
Looking at the dirty little boy in front of him, the shopkeeper said impatiently: "In the alley in the east of the city, it has been abandoned for a long time, why is this done?" ”
After receiving an accurate answer, Ah Lai lowered his head and thought for a moment, then turned his head and ran towards the backyard of the inn.
Lu Zhaozhao was still sitting next to the ox cart, looking sad, like a walking corpse, not moving or speaking.
"Sister Zhaozhao? Sister Zhaozhao? Seeing Lu Zhaozhao's appearance, Ah Lai was a little panicked, hurriedly walked in front of her, and after probing his snort with his fingers, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly pointed to the corpse on the ox cart and said: "Sister Zhaozhao, Brother Lu may not be dead, Brother Lu may still be alive, and it may not be Brother Lu on this cart." ”
Hearing this, Lu Zhaozhao opened his eyes.
Ah Lai gasped, swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly said: "I just met a monk, he said to tell my fortune, he said that I have two friends in the city, in the face of the city god..... Oh, anyway, I can't tell for a while, Sister Zhaozhao, you can go with me to take a look, maybe Brother Lu is there. ”
"Brother Lu, are you still alive?" Lu Zhaozhao's voice was low and hoarse, and there was a trace of hope in his silent heart, but he still asked in disbelief: "If this is the case, who is the person on the ox cart?" You've been deceived. ”
"Nope! Definitely not! Ah Lai hurriedly explained: "After that person finished telling my fortune, he disappeared directly, a big living person, suddenly disappeared, he is very strange!" Sister Zhaozhao, believe me, let's go and see, the person on the ox cart is just wearing the same clothes as Brother Lu, maybe what happened, so Brother Lu's clothes were worn by him. ”
Lu Zhaozhao lowered her head, her brows furrowed tightly, when she left Daqi, she knew that there were cultivator forces that had been paying attention to them, and now when she heard Ah Lai say this, the hope in her heart was infinitely magnified, and she finally nodded, got up and followed Ah Lai towards the outside of the inn.
The City God Temple in the west of the city is not difficult to find, and Ah Lai soon came to the City God Temple after asking the vendors on the side of the road.
The gate of the temple is loose, and when you push it gently, the door makes a "squeak" sound, which looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.
Ah Lai led Lu Zhaozhao into the City God Temple, standing in the courtyard on the periphery, and at a glance he could see the City God statue in the middle of the lobby, and most of the oil paint on it had fallen off, revealing the cracked mud tire inside.
After looking around and seeing no one, Ah Lai walked towards the inside of the City God Temple.
As soon as you enter, you can smell the dust floating in the air, the sunlight shining through the holes in the roof, the stone bricks on the ground have been shattered, and the tough weeds have grown savagely from them.
"Brother Lu?"
Ah Lai stood in the temple and shouted tentatively, but there was no response, but instead a sound similar to the grinding teeth of a mouse sounded behind the statue of the city god, which did not seem to be made by humans.
After a brief glance around the temple, Ah Lai picked up the broom at the door and prepared to see what was behind the statue.
Walking on the weeds, Ah Lai restrained his breathing, and the first thing that caught his eye was the head covered with loose hair, and he couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw that it wasn't something evil or something.
But when he saw this person clearly, Ah Lai couldn't help but be stunned, he was wearing a muddy robe, curled up behind the statue and pulling the dirt and gravel on the ground, as if he was hungry and crazy, and kept stuffing it into his mouth.
Xu was aware of the movement behind him, and he turned his head suddenly.
Land..... Brother Lu. From the loose hair, Ah Lai barely recognized the identity of this person, and shouted in disbelief.
Seeing Ah Lai, Lu Xuan suddenly smiled, with a bit of stupidity in his laughter: "Hey, hey, they can't find me!" Can't find me hahaha! ”
