Chapter 185: In the Land Temple
The statues in the land temple not only have the land father-in-law, but also the land mother-in-law.
However, these two immortals sat high on it, and neither of them looked at anyone, and no one looked at anyone, because they were statues made of people after all.
The incense on the incense table was supposed to be very vigorous, and after the autumn harvest, many people liked to thank them, but it was only during the day.
Since there is a profession called Hanako, the tribute of the father-in-law of the land can only be seen during the day, and it is absolutely not left at night, and the name Hanako who comes at night never refuses these delicious tributes.
When Li Qing walked into the Land Temple, he not only saw the tribute, but also saw the brilliant lights in the Land Temple tonight.
The atmosphere tonight seems to be to celebrate the birthday of the land lord again, although no one knows how old he is?
There was no big cook in the Land Temple, but Li Qing smelled the smell of stir-fried food.
The table was placed in the courtyard of the Lord of the Land, surrounded by large lanterns, and the candles in the lanterns illuminated the courtyard so brightly that people forgot that an autumn rain had just fallen here.
Two rows of black-clad men stood in a straight line, like javelins stuck in weapons racks. His face was covered with a black cloth, and he held a steel knife in his hand.
On the boxy table of the Eight Immortals, there were four people, each of whom had a silver-white wine jug in front of him.
The sterling silver flask reflects the silver light in the moonlight and candlelight.
The four people who were seated, Li Qing all knew, they were the four strange old men in Kinoshita Sakura's mouth.
The moment Li Qing and Kinoshita Sakura walked in, the four of them didn't move, their hands were very strange, and each person's left hand was covering the next person's wine jug.
Li Qing smiled.
It was the weirdest way he had ever seen drinking, and as soon as there was heat coming out of the jug, each hand would immediately pick it up and pour it for the person sitting next to him.
Whenever the wine was finished, they let go of their hands and immediately picked up their chopsticks to eat the dishes on the table, and they ate quickly.
Li Qing walked into front of the table.
None of the men in black who were standing came out to stop them, and they didn't seem to see Li Qing and Kinoshita Sakura walking in.
The faces covered by the black cloth were completely expressionless.
Li Qing looked at the four people on the table carefully, their eyes didn't look at Li Qing, even the blind man and the carpenter didn't move.
Even when he saw Li Qing, the carpenter didn't speak, he was like a blind man on the table, except when he was drinking and eating, he kept his mouth tightly shut.
Kinoshita Sakura is a girl who likes to talk, and when she walked to the table, her face had changed, and Li Qing didn't hear her say a word.
Not even a single cough came out.
There was only one hand, a small hand wet with sweat, and he grabbed Li Qing's hand hard, and held it very tightly, as if he had seen what a girl did not want to see.
Li Qing lowered his head and looked at the dishes on the table, and suddenly had a feeling of vomiting.
It's definitely the most unpalatable dish in the world, and absolutely no living person wants to eat it, even though it tastes delicious.
Although the snake in the soup pot is no longer moving, it is a snake with venom, and it is a green snake that can be recognized from the cyan skin.
Scorpions and centipedes are fried or fried in oil and served on a plate.
The five poisons that you can see in the world can be seen here, and they are made into vegetables or boiled into a broth that can be drunk.
This is the dish they use to serve wine? Li Qing couldn't believe it.
At this moment, Li Qing suddenly felt a little cold, and he understood from everyone's serious expressions that when they came here, they didn't make a move, but were competing with their own internal strength.
People like this who like to live in seclusion, as long as the result does not need the process, it no longer makes sense for them to make a move.
Fear of death or fear of death, any kind of reason can be made up in the mouth, only to sit here and compete in the most vicious way, courage is their courage.
Sakura Kinoshita, who was beside her, had begun to breathe harder, and her body was tightly pressed against Li Qing, if she was not afraid at this moment, it was definitely a lie.
The person didn't say a word nervously, just stared at the two big eyes, looking at these strange dishes on the table, she must have never eaten them in her life.
Not only has she never eaten it, Li Qing thinks that the father-in-law of the land sitting in it, as well as the two immortals of the mother-in-law of the land, have lived for so long, they definitely don't like to eat it.
The wine in the jug began to heat again, and they not only tried their ability to detoxify, but also used their hands to warm the wine.
Seeing this moment, Li Qing also understood that as long as any of them were weak, when they were making gong and warming wine, the poisonous insects they ate would attack their hearts with poison.
These four strange old men, at the moment when they are working in the palms of their hands, they also have to use internal force to prevent poisonous gas from attacking their hearts, and the cruelty of this kind of competition is simply unacceptable to ordinary people.
Li Qing's heart was pinched together, he never thought that they would choose this way to resolve old grievances.
Even if there is a deep grudge in the past, choosing this way is equivalent to choosing death.
Perhaps in their hearts, death is not terrible, after all, they have walked in the rivers and lakes all their lives, and death is like everyone needs to sleep at night.
Only when you open your eyes the next day and exhale vigorously can you prove that you are still alive and can you see the sun that day.
No matter whether there is a sun on this day or not, even if it rains in the sky, the sun in their hearts still hangs in the sky.
Li Qing's mouth moved for a long time, and he wanted to say a word to resolve the grievances in front of him, but seeing everyone's faces, he still closed his mouth.
The faces of everyone at the table began to slowly turn dark, and sooner or later, they would be as black as coals piled up next to the stove, and only their eyes were moving.
From their eyes, Li Qing could no longer see the breath of a living person, only the repeated movements could prove that they were indeed alive.
Li Qing had never encountered such a terrible scene, and he didn't dare to reach out to dissuade anyone on the table, as long as he made a move.
Or in a word, if one of them is distracted, that person will surely die.
Li Qing absolutely did not want to see this kind of result, and he did not want it to happen.
But this is also the most helpless time, they make such a choice, they have accepted the challenge of their own fate, they are gambling with their own fate.
Li Qing regretted coming here a little, as long as he couldn't see this, he would hear all this in the future, and his heart would not be as uncomfortable as he was at this moment.
Everyone will have the most uncomfortable moment, seeing is believing will always leave a shadow in their hearts, and it will continue to appear in the future.
With a soft sigh, Li Qing turned his head, Kinoshita Sakura's hand was still in his hand, and Li Qing had no intention of taking it back.
At this moment, Li Qing discovered a truth.
Women's courage is shown in their mouths, no matter how arrogant or ruthless they are, when they really encounter terrible things.
They will choose the man around them as a support, as long as this man is not a man who has disappointed and saddened her.
The courtyard of the father-in-law of the land is still brightly lit.
Sitting on the top seat was the Tian Gang Master, and he sat motionlessly, as if tonight, he was the only one, and the world belonged to him alone.
When Li Qing and Kinoshita Sakura came, he didn't seem to see it at all.
From his reaction to the sword in Kinoshita Sakura's hand, this person should have shown a curious expression when he saw Kinoshita Sakura suddenly walk in, but unfortunately Li Qing didn't see it.
This man may have been retired for too long, and he does not seem to be a hospitable host.
In addition to these four people, Li Qing looked for the other four people with his eyes, they had been to the Drunken Immortal Building together, and one of them was a little angry.
But Li Qing didn't find it, and the men in black who were standing didn't move.
It was supposed to be a big and lively venue, not only with wine, but also with food, but unfortunately the food on the table was really unappetizing.
If he didn't know these four people, Li Qing would only have one feeling that he had inadvertently broken into the thousand-year-old tomb dug up by tomb robbers.
The men in black standing around must be the thousand-year-old corpses waiting in the tomb.
But the dry corpses can't breathe, and the black cloth covering these people's faces is moving, at least it means that they are a living person, a group of big living people who don't speak.
Looking at the blind man sitting on the left hand side of the Tian gang leader again, Li Qing didn't squeak, and the blind man who liked to talk had his face tense at the moment.
From the moment he met him on the coffin shop road, Li Qing knew that he was a happy person, and at this moment, no matter from his demeanor and expression, this person was definitely unhappy.
Suddenly, a question appeared in Li Qing's mind, no matter how unpalatable the dish on the table was, someone must have cooked it.
Lao Meng, who can stir-fry vegetables upstairs in the drunken immortal, is dead, and the dishes here will definitely not be fried by him, this is a dish made of five poisons, and this cook must not be simple.
If it is an ordinary person, these dishes are fried, this person will definitely die, after all, the dishes used are the most poisonous insects in the world.
In his memory, Li Qing couldn't think of this person, this person was a master of using poison, and he would definitely not be afraid of death.
A person who is afraid of death will never use the five poisons to cook.
Li Qing wanted to rub his nose with his hand, but at the moment of twitching his hand, he felt Kinoshita Sakura's body tremble a little again.
Maybe these people frightened her, and it was good for a girl to see such a scene and not faint.
Kinoshita Sakura's hands began to become cold, without a little temperature, and Li Qing glanced at her.
He noticed that Kinoshita Sakura's originally pale face suddenly showed a very strange expression, and in his frightened eyes, he slowly began to become demented, as if with a gentle smile.
The terrifying reality made Li Qing suddenly understand that not only were the dishes on the table poisonous, but the air here was already filled with the smell of the five poisons.
People who come here, whether they eat the dishes on the table or not, as long as they stay here, as long as this person is a living person, through breathing, they will inevitably be poisoned.
Li Qing didn't want to think about it, he understood that he had walked into a trap today.
The trap is well designed, the owner does not let himself go to drink, nor does he let himself go without food, just with a person's curiosity.
He left himself in the temple of the father-in-law of the land.
