Chaos Chapter 18 A Night Visit to Lanruo Temple
The two came to the door and shouted to open the door, and no one came to answer the door for a long time, and once saw that the temple door was wooden and not big, and wanted to try to open the temple door first.
Unexpectedly, the door was not linked, and once this kick was too strong, it kicked empty, almost making him and Qingyang fall and eat.
Once he took Qingyang aside and put it down, he turned around and immediately tied the door, and he could see through the crack in the door that those monsters had also chased to the temple.
But none of them dared to take a step forward, and they all gathered more than ten feet away from the temple, refusing to leave, so they had to stand guard here.
It was really a desperate shot, and I almost got caught again.
Qiye is right, these monsters really don't dare to approach this Lanruo Temple.
"They've chased them out the door, but don't worry, they don't dare to come in, we're safe for the time being!"
He turned around to comfort Qingyang, and at the same time helped Qingyang to walk towards the hall.
The furniture in this temple is very old, the beams are covered with spider webs, and the plaque in front of the temple is also covered with dust, and it is impossible to read the words on it.
It felt like no one had lived here for a long time, and there was a dead silence.
As soon as he helped Qingyang to the stool, he blew the dust on the surface, and motioned for Qingyang to rest for a while. As soon as Qingyang sat down, the stool creaked, as if it was about to crumble.
"It's okay! You're sitting tight! I'll show you if your foot hurts badly!"
Qingyang nodded.
Once bent down, took off Qingyang's shoes, checked her feet, and found that there was no roughness, maybe it was just a break, just rest for a while.
I just escaped from the capture of the monster.,My heart hasn't been put down yet.γ
"Ahβββ! the hellβββ!"
Qingyang saw a person behind him carrying a lantern, looking at them.
Once startled by Qingyang, he was so frightened that he didn't squat down and fell to the ground. He looked back and found that there was really someone behind him, so he hurriedly stood up, protected Qingyang in front of him, acted in self-defense, and shouted loudly, "Who is it?"
"Don't be afraid, old decay is a human being, not a ghost!"
The man lifted the lantern in front of him and illuminated his face.
This is an old man who is almost old, and his face is kind.
"Why are you two dressed up like this? Presumably today is the day you two get married, right?
"The old gentleman misunderstood! We are not husband and wife! I was chased here by the monster tonight, and I broke into your temple in a hurry. β
The old man said he heard a sound outside the temple.
"It's okay, it's okay! Even though the two of you are hiding from the monsters here, they don't dare to enter this Lanruo Temple for half a step!"
"May I ask you, old man, why don't the monsters dare to approach this Lanruo Temple, and is there any reason for this?"
Old man: "What is the story here? Do you really want to hear it?"
While rubbing Qingyang's feet, he asked the old gentleman to tell them the story here.
The old man made a pot of hot tea, poured it to the two, and began to tell his story.
"The story here is related to me, I think back to many, many years ago, ohββ! I was still a hairy boy at that time, I still remember, I was working as a handyman in a silver account in Chang'an, I didn't have any relatives, I didn't have any friends, that is, I was the kind of person who was full of food and the whole family was not hungry. I don't earn much money, but my life is okay. But my silver boss was stingy and stingy, making things difficult for me everywhere, embarrassing me, so that he could make fun of me and add some fun to his life. I remember one time, he asked me to go to the field to collect a bad debt, because of the rain on the road, I failed to protect the account book, so that the account book was wet in the rain, and the handwriting on it was so confused that I couldn't see it clearly. But I still believe that people are kind and honest, and if the person who owes the debt has integrity at all, even if there is no account book, he will pay me back without a penny. At that time, I was so stupid, I thought that people's hearts were good, and I went to ask for accounts with an expectant heart. What do you think, the person who owes the debt is really hateful, and he bullied me and said that I deceived him with a fake account, and he relied on the account and did not pay it. Hehehe, I'm so naΓ―ve!"
The old man took out the candle from the lantern and lit the oil lamp on the table.
He continued: "I was afraid that I would be scolded by the boss of the silver number if I couldn't collect the accounts, and I didn't dare to go back, but I was penniless, and I was really sad to sleep in the open air. But on the first night, I met Xiaoqian. β
"Xiaoqian?"
Speaking of Xiaoqian, she is also a hard-working woman. Hey, she was originally the maid of the old demon in the mountains and the fox demon. The old demon of Montenegro has to increase his strength by eating the hearts of living people every night, so he ordered Xiaoqian to use his beauty to seduce men, and then take their lives and dig out their hearts when they are unprepared. β
The lights illuminated the hall, and the surroundings were as old as this old man, and if you looked closely, you could also find reptiles, rats and ants in the corners.
"The first time I met Xiao Qian, it was here, Xiao Qian at that time was more moving than the girl next to you, but I didn't mean to be light of her. β
The old man pointed to Qingyang.
Qingyang was a little scared and hid behind Yi Chao.
"Xiao Qian saw that I was an upright person and didn't want to harm me, but persuaded me to let me leave this place immediately and never come back in the future. But I can't go anywhere, so I have to stay here. On the second night, Xiao Qian saw that I hadn't left yet, so she told me about the old demons of Montenegro forcing them to harm people. I sympathized with Xiao Qian, refused to leave her life alone, and wanted to take Xiao Qian with me, but Xiao Qian was afraid that the old demon of Montenegro would not let her go, and she didn't want to burden me, so let me go alone. Helplessly, I'm just a hairy boy who can't even collect the accounts, where can I fight the old demon of Montenegro! I can only watch Xiaoqian harm other people in order to survive. β
The old man's eyes moistened as he spoke, and he turned his head to the side, not wanting to let people see him crying.
Qingyang's curiosity was greater than her fear, and she poked her head out and asked the old man.
Qingyang: "Then what happened later? Where is Miss Xiaoqian now?"
The old man: "Later, not long after, Xiao Qian's not killing me was also discovered by a black mountain old demon's maid, out of jealousy of Xiao Qian, he went to the black mountain old demon to report Xiao Qian, Montenegro was furious when he learned about it, and killed Xiao Qian that night in a fit of anger. After killing Xiaoqian, I was still angry, and I came to Lanruo Temple again to take my life. I saw that Xiaoqian was murdered, and I didn't want to live in the world alone, so I fought to the death with Montenegro, but I lost my life and went with Xiaoqian, but God refused to let me get together with Xiaoqian in Jiuquan, but sent Yan Daxia to save me. β
Qingyang: "Yan Daxia, who is this Yan Daxia?"
Old man: "This Yan Daxia is a swordsman who travels all over the world, he has strong martial arts, superb swordsmanship, and is a righteous person. That night, he passed by here, and he also wanted to spend the night here, but he ran into the old demon of Montenegro who wanted to kill me, so he came to the rescue. Although Yan Daxia successfully repelled the old demon of Montenegro that night, both sides were severely injured and their vitality was greatly damaged. β
Yiyi: "Could the old demon of Montenegro that the old gentleman said in his mouth be the old monster under the mountain now?"
Old man: "Exactly! This old demon has been entrenched here for many years, and has been making waves, and the number of people who have harmed him is innumerable, I really don't know when I will be able to eradicate this evil demon!"
Yiyi: "Oh, by the way, old man, I just heard your story, this Lanruo Temple used to be the old demons of Montenegro who dared to come in, but why don't they dare to step into this Lanruo Temple half a step now?"
Old man: "Heheββ, this is exactly what the next story is going to tell! In this Lanruo Temple, there is a peach tree, the flowers of this tree are not thanked for ten thousand years, and the fragrance of flowers is always left in all seasons to drive away evil spirits and avoid demons. Ever since the seed was planted on this tree, no demon has ever been able to step into this Lanruo Temple even half a step!"
As the old man said, Lanruo Temple is like being protected by an umbrella, the black wind outside the temple is blowing all over the sky, while the temple is calm, completely two worlds.
Qingyang: "How can a tree have such a magical ability?"
It is said that in ancient times, there was a peach tree that bloomed for 10,000 years in the red rain of Xuandu in the fairyland, and the holy monarch Shennong once broke a branch of the peach tree and brought it back to Middle Earth. β
Qingyang: "The peach tree in the temple was planted by Shennong?"
One day: "Ouch! This tree here must not have been planted by Shennong!
Qingyang patted Yichao on the shoulder and said, "Who do you say is stupid? How do you know that this tree was not planted by Shennong? Then who do you say planted it? You can't tell that you are a fool!"
Qingyang grimaced, took his feet back, and didn't let him massage it anymore.
As soon as I saw Qingyang sulking, it was quite cute, so I didn't argue, but laughed.
The old man also laughed for a while, stroked his gray beard, and said, "Hehe, I planted this tree!" When Yan Daxia traveled all over the world, he brought back the seeds of the peach tree in a place called Taoyuan. But I didn't expect Yan Daxia to lose his life here, and when he was dying, he handed over the seed to me and asked me to plant it for him. I thought that Yan Daxia would die here, so I planted a tree in the yard so that his peach tree could accompany him forever. Later, after my careful cultivation, the emperor paid off, and this seed actually grew into a big tree in the end!"
Once: "The old gentleman has always lived in this Lanruo Temple?"
Old man: "That's right! I don't want to set foot in the red dust anymore, I just want to be quiet, so I regard this place as my home, not to mention that I have no place to return in the first place!
Although the story told by the old man was long, he listened to every sentence at once, and he listened to it with fascination, as if he had experienced it himself.
But Qingyang was a little sleepy when he heard it, and yawned again and again. It's no wonder that she, who can rest well after a few days of fear?
The old man: "It's late at night, I think the two of you are tired and sleepy, let the old man take the two of you to the guest room to rest!
The old man re-lit the candle, put it back in the lantern, stood up, and took them to rest.
Qingyang saw that she could finally rest, so she also stood up and urged Yitian to hurry up.
At one time, Qingyang walked to the guest room under the guidance of the old man, and the old man lit the candle in the room.
"Rest quickly, you two! The old room is nearby, call me if you have something!"
The old man was about to step out of the door when he was stopped by a while. Once I wanted two rooms, I didn't know how to explain it.
Qingyang ran to Yichao's side, covered his mouth, and said to the old man with a smile: "Old man, you have worked hard, go and rest quickly, we will call you if there is something." β
It wasn't until the old man closed the door and left that Qingyang let go of his mouth.
"Why didn't you just let me speak?"
"I know what you're going to say!"
"Then you say, what am I going to say?"
"You want to say you can't be alone in the same room, you want two rooms!"
"You know we can't live together and you won't let me tell you?"
"I'm scared alone, you have to keep me in the room!
The experience of the past few days has made Qingyang understand the sinister nature of the world, it is not like being in the palace here, and he has to protect himself from time to time, but he thinks that he is weak and weak, so he has to rely on the protection of the past.
After thinking about it repeatedly, he also felt that he should protect Qingyang, and thought that he had finally rescued Qingyang from the hands of Montenegro, and this time he could no longer be careless and let Qingyang be in danger again, so he promised her that he would keep vigil for her.
Qingyang slept in the inner room, once standing in the middle with the screen as a partition, while he himself snoozed on the table in the outer hall.
