Chapter 90: The Man Who Lit the Candle

The candle-lit boy, after approaching the temple, gradually became lighter, and when he encountered a futon, he always jumped over easily, leaving a trace of dirt on the futon.

The boy sits very right, the futon is used by people to kneel and worship, and it can always be trampled, which shows that the young man is delicate and pious.

Since the boy arrived at the temple gate, Pang Qiushui sat up with a hat on his head, and he saw the boy's every move clearly, and the boy had already seen Pang Qiushui.

The young man neither greeted Pang Qiushui nor stopped, he walked straight to the Eight Immortals Table at the end of the temple and stopped.

He took out three full candles from his bosom, then borrowed a fire from each of the burning candles, and then replaced the three burning candles.

The boy then unfolded to the sides, first lighting a row of candles on the left.

Pang Qiushui couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Young man, do you come to light candles every day?"

The young man replied: "In the past month, I have come to light candles, why do seniors ask this?" Because Pang Qiushui was carrying a sword and was dressed as a Jianghu person, the young man called him a senior.

"I'm just wondering, why does the young man have such an errand if he is not a monk or a Taoist?" replied Pang Qiushui.

The young man smiled and didn't answer Pang Qiushui's words, but asked, "I don't know where the wine on the table went, I wonder if the seniors took it and enjoyed it?"

"Exactly. Pang Qiushui replied.

"It's a pity that I didn't bring wine on this trip, so I don't know if the dragon god is to blame. Although the young man muttered, Pang Qiushui heard it clearly.

"Dare to ask the senior how long it has been since he came to the Dragon Temple?" the young man asked.

"It's been an hour. Pang Qiushui replied.

"For so long, is it just the senior?" the boy continued.

"Yes. Pang Qiushui replied a little weakly, he didn't know why the young man asked.

The boy nodded.

"I was very hungry and thirsty just now, so I drank the wine, and if the dragon god knew that this jar of wine quenched the thirst of passers-by, he would not have blamed him. Pang Qiushui said.

The young man shook his head, "That's not necessarily, although this jar of wine quenches the thirst of passers-by, but the dragon god may not be happy, because the food is only allowed to be enjoyed by those who are destined to have good conduct." ”

Pang Qiushui was a little embarrassed, he didn't know why the young man said this again, so he had to smile with "hehe".

After a while, the boy had finished lighting the candle on the left side and walked to the right.

Pang Qiushui looked at the young man carefully during this period, the young man was calm as usual, and it seemed that the young man didn't seem to know what had just happened.

Pang Qiushui asked, "This young man, what kind of immortal is this Dragon Temple worshipping?" ”

"It's a dragon-headed giant dragon. The boy replied.

"Why worship. Pang Qiushui asked.

"Out of the Dragon Temple, go west for three miles, there is a big river, there were a lot of boatmen on the river, but I don't know when it started, there are many more pythons in the river, these pythons overturn the river and the sea, destroy the boats, eat cannibal flesh, for a time the city is full of wind and rain, no one dares to cross the river again. Until one day, there are more dragon dragons in the river for no reason, these dragons are very spiritual, they drive away the pythons, so that they can not disturb their peers on the river. Therefore, a dragon temple was built here to worship these dragons that eliminate harm for the people. The boy didn't say much, and gave a concise account of what happened.

Pang Qiushui was planning to travel far west, but when he heard that there was a big river in front of him, there were both pythons and dragons in it, and he shivered.

In fact, the boy is deceiving Pang Qiushui, this dragon temple worships only the Dragon King of the North Sea, because the wind and rain here are not smooth all year round, so build a temple to worship the Dragon King of the North Sea who can rain.

There is a reason why the young man deceived Pang Qiushui, although he didn't see Pang Qiushui killing, but Pang Qiushui ignored a little, there were more than a dozen horses not far from the left side of the Dragon Temple.

These horses were left behind by dead warriors, and of course the boy did not know about them. But there was only Pang Qiushui nearby, which was a little strange, because he felt strange, so the young man would look carefully.

After looking, the boy still found some clues, the ground of the temple seems to have been tidied up, the position of many futons has changed, when the boy stepped back to light the candle, occasionally used his feet to move the objects on the ground, and found that there were blood stains.

It shows that a lot of things are going on here.

The time to change the candles by himself is about an hour, and the last time I came, nothing happened in the Dragon Temple, this time, it seems that something big has happened, and just now Pang Qiushui has replied that he has been here for an hour.

But Pang Qiushui said that he was the only one for so long, which shows that Pang Qiushui is covering up the truth, why is he covering up, there are two possibilities, one is that he deliberately lied and did not want to tell the young man the truth, and the other is that he killed someone and was excusing himself.

No matter what the reason, Pang Qiushui deceived him, so the young man reported it back.

After the boy changed the candles, he walked out of the temple, and the boy thought to himself, if there was really a murder in the temple just now, there was only one hiding place for the corpse, and that was behind the temple.

The young man made a big detour, and then quietly came to the back of the temple, and sure enough, there were many corpses, but whether they were killed by the people in the temple or not.

Except for one monk who was pierced through the chest by a sword, the rest were separated from the corpses, and the young man looked at the sword wound that passed through the monk's chest, and he could see that the sword was very wide, about four inches wide.

But how can you get the sword behind the people in the temple, and even if you get it, what if these dead people are all people who should be killed?

The young man paced away, thinking about whether the people in the temple were good or evil, and if the people were indeed killed by her, and they were evil, then there was no need for him to go to great lengths to hide the corpses and destroy them.

Suddenly, lightning and thunder roared, and a rainstorm followed, and the boy was still halfway there, so the boy turned around and planned to go to the temple to take shelter from the rain.

The position of the Dragon Temple was high and low, and the torrential rain was like a torrential rain, and the blood of the corpses behind the temple mixed with the rain flowed down the corner of the Dragon Temple to the front of the temple.

The horses hid under the leafy trees and did not panic much.

Pang Qiushui lost his composure, if before he left, someone asked what was going on with the blood in the corner, then what should he do, why couldn't he see one and kill the other.

Pang Qiushui thought about it, no one saw it, as long as he didn't admit it, no one could make himself confess.

After a while, the boy ran back to the Dragon Temple, Pang Qiushui was not surprised, the rain was so heavy, the boy returned halfway, it must have been to avoid the rain.

"Senior, how can there be such blood on both sides outside the temple. The boy got straight to the point and asked knowingly.

"Yes? I didn't pay attention. Pang Qiushui replied.

"Senior, can you lend me the long sword behind you? I want to open a channel for the blood water, otherwise the blood will flow into the temple. The boy said.

Pang Qiushui generously took out the long sword and handed it to the young man.

The boy walked out of the temple, and then carefully measured the width of the long sword, and sure enough, it was the same width as the wound on the monk's chest.

The boy now knew that the monk was indeed killed by the person in front of him. Now you just need to know whether the person in front of you is good or bad, and if it is a good person, then tell him that there is no python in the river to the west.

How did the young man guess that this person was going west, because from what the young man had just said, he could see that when Pang Qiushui heard that there was a big river in the west, his expression was a little surprised, indicating that Pang Qiushui did not know that there was a big river in the west before that.

There are only two roads to pass through the Dragon Temple, one east and one west, and if you don't come from the west, you must go to the west.

"Senior, there are more than a dozen horses not far to the east outside the temple, what's going on?" the young man continued to probe.

This time, he couldn't say that he didn't know, the young man must have been prepared to ask, he must have guessed something, "I had it when I came!" Pang Qiushui was a little impatient.

"You're lying, I changed the candles in about the same time as you arrived at the Dragon Temple, but when I first came to the Dragon Temple, there were no horses. The boy replied.

"There are a lot of dead bodies behind the temple, and this blood is left from them, and the owners of these horses are the dead bodies behind the temple, and there is also a monk among them, and the wound on the monk's chest is the same width as your sword, what else do you have to say. The boy screamed.

"Now that you know everything, I have to kill you. Pang Qiushui showed an ugly face.

The boy said, "So you are a great villain!"

"So what?" Pang Qiushui said, raising his sword and stabbing at the young man.

The teenager changed his steps to dodge, the teenager's martial arts were not good, and he didn't expect that the light skills were indeed first-class.

The young man turned his body and flew out of the Dragon Temple, Pang Qiushui was afraid that this person would miss his big thing, so he pursued along the road.

The rain was pouring down, but the boy did not slow down his flight speed because of this, shuttling in the rain, and after a while, Pang Qiushui could not see the figure of the young man.

Pang Qiushui rushed to the Dragon Temple again and rode away overnight.

After walking three miles, I found a big river blocking in front of me, there was no ferry at night, Pang Qiushui could not cross the river, even if there was a ferry, Pang Qiushui did not dare to cross the river, because there were pythons in the river.

At this time, Pang Qiushui was extremely embarrassed, and he wanted to tear the young man just now.

There is no way, only to return to the Dragon Temple, even if it is found out that he killed someone or that he is the leader of the martial arts alliance, Pang Qiushui, it can only be so, anyway, there are few people in the rivers and lakes who are his opponents, and he is not much afraid.

Back at the Dragon Temple, there were no dry branches to use to light the fire, so he leaned against the wall wrapped in wet clothes, he took out the map, found that the notes on the map were still clear, and then put it in his pocket with confidence.
