Chapter Seventy-Four: Night In

The sun is scorching.

The crab demon has lived for two hundred years, and he boasts that he has seen a lot of the world, and he doesn't know where it is higher than the ordinary villagers, but the strange scene in front of him, it has never seen it in this life - the time is close to midnight, and the night envelops the entire Qingzhou City, usually at this time, it is the playboys who like to have fun at night are also drunk and return home, and only the patrolling husband walks around in the streets and alleys, but tonight, countless heads are flocked to every street and alley, loudly talking about this unprecedented scene- The entire Qiyun Peak is surrounded by countless flying white petals, and the whole body is white and shining under the illumination of a thousand suns, as if the whole has become a huge white glazed pagoda with a crystal clear body.

"Melon seeds!tea!candy!"Pig's head meat!Fragrant pig's head meat!""Pan-fried small fish~Fried small fish~"Wine~Qingzhuju's good liquor!" The hawkers carried their burdens and pushed carts to and fro in the crowd to do business, and as they wished, the residents moved out the tables, chairs and benches, chatting and munching on the supper they had just bought, exchanging opinions with each other on the matter: "The Xiao family must have a happy event! In my opinion, their ancestor is probably going to get married!" When we ordinary people get married, we have to set up a colorful building at the head of the door, this true immortal is married, why don't you make the entire Qiyun Peak tidy?"

"In my opinion, they're going to have a big prayer ceremony, don't you see that there are big oil lamps lit on every floor, and the ones in the sky!" Another thought of something else: "These oil lamps are afraid of being as big as a jar!"

"Big tank, brother, you really haven't seen the world! This is the real fairy Xiao family! How can there be only a big tank, you should be your family's practice, every one of his family is the size of a boat, the lamp rope is thicker than the cable, it is made of new silk, and it is full of sesame oil, no, it is the best cream, and it is all used with oil and sugar according to the method of outsiders. Eggs, dyed with rouge seaweed to make five-color flowers, what peonies, peonies, are all made as real as the real ones, even if you touch them with your nose, you can't tell the real from the fake, fragrant and sweet, eat one, you will live for an extra year, and they will take this flower and light it...... This is pie! Do you know!" Someone immediately followed the speculation vividly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and the two children next to him climbed the crooked neck tree at the front of the door, and drooled to look at Qiyunfeng, which was illuminated by a thousand "big oil lamps" with "beautiful and delicious cream flowers", and forgot even the ready-made candy on the table.

"Tsk" The crab demon is still stepping into the gate of Qingzhou City for the first time, of course it knows that there are more true immortals in Qingzhou City who can peep through its illusions than anywhere else, so it has never moved the idea of picking up leaks in Qingzhou City, in case it is not good if it is picked up by others and boiled into crab shell soup...... "Stupid! stupid! Don't keep thinking about boiling soup!" It seemed to have a voice in its head, but it was noisy enough, so the crab demon once again ignored this warning.

Ujida strode forward in the crowd, and the crab demon stumbled behind, compared to the true immortal, this little girl made it feel more frightened, so frightened that it didn't even dare to escape, after all, how powerful the true immortal was It had only heard of it, and Ujida's awesomeness it had really understood.

Unlike it, Ujida not only knew the correct direction of Qingzhou City, but also seemed to know the correct location of the streets of Qingzhou City—it didn't count if she had impatiently punched a human-shaped hole in the wall once or twice - in short, they didn't seem to have encountered any obstacles to their journey that night—the construction of a hole in the wall for traffic and ventilation might have immediately provoked the barking of dogs and the sound of gongs to alarm the police, but tonight, the boiling voices of the streets and alleys drowned out all movement.

Finally, Ujida's footsteps stopped in front of a tall building.

The crab demon breathed a sigh of relief, and then it knew it was wrong.

Ujida put a hand on the wall, read a word, and the whole wall "melted" away, like, just like the whole wall is made of salt, and suddenly encountered a large amount of water, the crab demon's brain can only think of such a description, and the actual process is faster than the salt meets hydration, almost at the same time that Ujida finished reading that word, there is no trace left on that wall.

And the crab demon wished it had never heard that word, and it couldn't imagine any word, whether it was aquatic or human, that could describe that word, or the incomparable horror it brought to it. It doesn't know that if it chooses beforehand, it is willing to pay all the price for its temporary deafness, in fact, it doesn't know if it really heard that word, and the hearing of the crab demon clan is not so good......

Ujida gestured to it to wait outside, and the crab crissy lay down at ease, glad it didn't have to get involved in anything else. Even it understood that Ujida had used a different way of "opening the door" here than it had just done before, and it must be because of what was there here...... It's different from other places, and as for what it is, it's glad it doesn't have to know.

As a priestess, she could feel that there was a certain kind of god enshrined here, even if she didn't have that strong premonition, without her newfound ability, the smell of old incense in the air and the ringing bell on the tower could also make her guess the general purpose of the building, and there were commonalities between the gods and Taos in the world, such as the need to use fire, water, and sound to communicate with the other world, and a place that has been blessed for a long time will be different.

She walked through one empty courtyard after another, each door with a fresh seal and a bright red official seal, and at last, she stopped in front of a small courtyard.

There is a locust tree in the courtyard.

The bricks around the roots of the locust tree were rudely smashed open to expose the soil, and the soil at the roots of the locust tree still exuded fresh moisture, which was a locust tree that had not been there before, but had just been transplanted.

Two bodies hung from the tree.

One is the former temple of the Wind Chimes Temple, and his body is plastered with the government's verdict, listing the charges of accepting bribes and colluding with the cult, warning no one to put him down without authorization, and the other is ...... The new temple that has just taken office is celebrated.

Under the tree, there stood a young monk, dressed in ash cannons, with a face like a lotus flower and eyes like autumn water. 10
