Chapter 53: The Broken Temple in the Wilderness

The time of the day passed quickly, and Zhou Zhan led everyone to come to the outside of the pass, and further forward was the steep Hutou Ridge of the mountain.

"Lord Lin, I'll leave this trip to you." Zhou Zhan reined in the horse rope and said respectfully towards Lin Jiu.

The middle-aged man looked flat, nodded, and looked at the mountains in front of him, his eyes thoughtful.

"You must obey Lord Lin's orders, and don't act rashly." Zhou Zhan explained a few words to everyone again, and then rode away on horseback.

He has other important things to deal with, and the current affairs of Changgou Village will be handed over to Lin Jiu and Shao Lin.

"Yes, sir."

"Be careful on the way back, boss."

“……”

Jiang Chen and the others nodded yes, watching Zhou Zhan's figure gradually leave, they immediately looked at Lin Jiu and Shao Lin in front of them.

"Lord Lin, if you need us to do anything, just ask." Wang Er and the others dismounted one after another, and further on, there was a rugged mountain road, and they could only rely on foot.

However, the people present are all of a strong age, and physical strength is naturally not a problem.

"This thing is not something you can deal with, it is imperative that you be cautious and follow behind me and my junior sister, so as not to become food for that demon beast."

"We also want to do our part." Jiang Chen said seriously.

"I said no, don't use it, no matter how many ordinary people come, even if you practice a little martial arts, it will only become a burden to us." Lin Jiu was unceremonious, frowning and speaking bluntly.

Jiang Chen was still about to speak, but was interrupted by Lin Jiu.

"Well, needless to say, it's not something you ordinary people can mix."

"You don't need to ask anything, if you want to survive, just listen to me."

Hearing Lin Jiu's undoubted words, Jiang Chen had to keep the words in his heart, since this Lin Jiu was so confident, he definitely had two brushes.

Jiang Chen was looking forward to it, what special abilities did these two people have to deal with a terrifying demon beast?

He also vaguely felt a condensed momentum on Lin Jiu's body, Jiang Chen knew that the middle-aged man in front of him was definitely a powerful Condensing Sect Master Martial Artist.

"With such strength, and a demon slayer, it seems that it is not a big problem to deal with that demon beast." Jiang Chen was secretly worried.

"Jiang boy, we don't have to be in a hurry, there is no way to be in a hurry, just leave professional matters to professionals, we just need to follow their orders."

Wang Er shook his head, this time they are just assisting, it is up to the two of them to really solve the matter, he likes to perform this kind of official duties.

If you come to this kind of official business a few more times, then the road to promotion will definitely go all the way up.

After Lin Jiu finished speaking, he stopped speaking, took the lead in dismounting, and stepped into the mountains, and everyone dismounted one after another, following closely behind.

The night began to kick off, the evening wind was howling, unusually cold and biting, and everyone was holding torches and winding through the mountain road.

Jiang Chen didn't dare to be careless, in this deep mountain, anything could happen, so he had to be cautious.

"Boom." Thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, raindrops the size of beans began to fall, the vision was blocked, and it was night again, and everyone felt uneasy in their hearts.

"There's a ruined temple ahead." At this moment, Lin Jiu's voice came from ahead.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen concentrated his attention and saw that there was a small ruined temple on a flat ground more than two hundred meters away from them and the others.

"Go inside and rest for the night." After everyone cheered up and had motivation, they only felt that their hands and feet had become a lot lighter.

The crowd soon came to this ruined temple in the wilderness deep in the mountains, and there was rubble and rotten wood everywhere around the ruined temple.

But fortunately, although the temple is damaged, it can also shelter from the rain.

Lin Jiu and Shao Lin were the fastest and took the lead in entering the broken temple.

Jiang Chen and the others followed closely, the ruined temple was covered with dust, and the space inside was not small, enough to accommodate forty or fifty people.

There is a shrine in the center of the ruined temple, and there is a statue of a god whose face cannot be seen clearly.

A bolt of lightning pierced the dark night sky, followed by several dull thunderclaps that broke the silence of the night, followed by a fierce wind.

"Let's gather the dry dead wood first." Jiang Chen noticed that there was a lot of wood around the ruined temple, and hurriedly spoke.

Hearing this, several other people put down the packages in their hands and began to act, the strength of the people was great, and after a while, there was a pile of rotten wood in front of the main gate of the temple.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen skillfully took out two dry flints from his backpack, and then rubbed them hard, sparks splashed everywhere, and soon a fire was raised in front of the shrine.

The fire was not big, but it calmed everyone's hearts a lot.

On the other side, Lin Jiu and his junior sister Shao Lin were also sitting cross-legged, and Jiang Chen keenly noticed that Lin Jiu and Shao Lin's clothes and hair gradually emitted a white mist, which was the rain that had been drenched before, and was dried by their internal force.

In addition to having the identity of exorcists, these two people are strong in their own martial arts, and they are martial artists who have achieved extremely high attainments both inside and outside, and their strength should not be underestimated.

Jiang Chen has pure yang internal force to protect his body, as long as he wants to, he can also think of the steamed, dry and wet clothes of Lin Jiu and the others.

When they saw that both of them were meditating, Jiang Chen and the others were not idle, and the four or five patrols spontaneously divided into several teams, each groping for this broken temple.

It didn't take long for everyone to figure out this ruined temple, there were two small rooms on the left and right of the hall of this ruined temple, although there was some leakage, but it was better than nothing.

A few people cleaned it briefly, and it could be regarded as a place to sleep tonight, and the two small rooms on the right naturally belonged to Lin Jiu and his junior sister.

Each room on the left can sleep five or six people if you squeeze in, all of them are big men, and there are no taboos.

"Be careful, this place is sparsely populated, but there may be unknown dangers." Lin Jiu stood up and came to the door of the lobby, looking at the darkness outside the ruined temple, his eyes showing a trace of solemnity.

He always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, and since he entered this deep mountain, he had a faint uneasiness in his heart, as if to imply something.

Even if he is strong, he does not dare to be careless, which is why he can live so long.

"Did you find something?" Jiang Chen sensed that something was wrong with Lin Jiu and hurriedly spoke.

Lin Jiu glanced at Jiang Chen, a trace of surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes, he nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, don't leave without permission, as long as you gather together, you are popular, if there is really anything unclean, you will not approach easily." ”

Everyone said yes, before coming, Zhou Zhan had already explained, and he absolutely had to obey Lin Jiu's orders.

Everyone can also see that although Lin Jiu is silent, he is by no means a person without a purpose.

In the silence, everyone closed their eyes and recuperated, drank some water, ate some dry food, and their bodies warmed up.

Lin Jiu and Shao Lin were also nowhere to be seen, and sat around the fire with everyone.

Jiang Chen saw that Lin Jiu didn't mean to despise them in his eyes.

He couldn't help but ask, "Lord Lin, can you tell us what those unclean things are in your mouth?" ”
