When Xu Ao woke up in the middle of the night, he was already tied to a wooden pillar with a thick bowl mouth in a dilapidated small temple.

This small temple is about ten steps from east to west and about ten steps from north to south. For this vast and sparsely populated land of Kyushu, it is indeed not large. What's more, what is enshrined in this temple is actually Pangu. As a great god who opened the heavens and the earth, he only has such a large place, which is really shabby.

What's more, this small temple has obviously not been worshipped for a long time. There was no other offering on the spacious offering table except rat droppings.

A candle that had been placed in a half-broken bowl was the only source of light in the temple, although in Xu Ao's opinion, it was not as strong as the moonlight that penetrated through the hole in the roof.

"Who are you?" is clearly very immature, but he has to deliberately pretend to be an old-fashioned voice. Xu Ao immediately put his mind at ease, thinking that he had been caught by Beidi's group of guys, and it seemed that he had been saved by a child.

"I am Xu Ao, the deputy general of the Qin State. "Hey, Xu Ao looked down, he couldn't imagine that a second-grade master was actually tied up by a child, if Xu Hu and Sun Xiansheng knew about it, they wouldn't have to laugh to death.

"Brother Little Sheep, what is the Vice General of the Qin State?" a little girl's voice came from behind the idol.

"Shhh, Peony, don't speak, as soon as you speak, he will find you. "It's another child, and it's estimated that he should be four or five years old. thought he was hiding skillfully, but he never noticed that the curtain he was hiding from was already full of holes. The pigtails on his head came out of the holes.

"It's okay, with my invincible martial arts, he doesn't dare to do anything. Then there were two chest-beating movements, only to see a puff of smoke and dust behind the door, and the chest-beating guy obviously didn't expect two slaps to cause such a large amount of dust. I sneezed several times in a row.

"Don't talk!" This is also hiding behind the idol, presumably the little ghost who just made a sound.

Xu Ao was secretly a little funny, as soon as he escaped, he encountered such a few living treasures, which was also his luck. If it falls into the hands of a wicked person, it is estimated that his head will be cut off while he is still asleep: "Come out, two behind the idol, one behind the door, and one behind the curtain." I see you. ”

"Ah, little lamb, he found us!" Immediately after that, Xu Ao caught a glimpse of a little girl who was dragged back before she ran out of the statue.

"Don't believe him, he's trying to trick us out, I'm staring at him!" A pair of big smart eyes came out of the hole in the rag curtain.

"Alas, if you don't come out to help me untie the rope, I'll break free by myself?" Xu Ao sighed, he was now covered in injuries, and it was really uncomfortable to be tied to this cold pillar. These little ghosts don't know how to be sympathetic to others, and it's better to at least put some straw behind them than now.

"You can earn it, if you have the ability, you can break free, this rope is tied by my invincible martial arts, and the leader of the Silver Snake Gang can't break it. "The little ghost hiding behind the door obviously overestimated his skill in tying the rope and overestimated the quality of the straw rope.

Xu Ao exerted a little effort, and the straw rope tied to his body suddenly broke into several pieces and fell to the ground.

"Run, he's really breaking away!" the little ghost behind the curtain hurriedly shouted, and suddenly the four children hurriedly rushed out of the hiding place, and the whole temple was full of chickens and dogs.

The youngest should be the little girl named Peony, who didn't pay attention to stepping on the candlestick that fell to the ground, and suddenly fell to the ground.

Before she could struggle to get up, Xu Ao had already picked her up.

"Peonies!" cried the little boy with pigtails.

The other two older boys found that the youngest peony had been held in Xu Ao's arms.

The tallest, but some thin children, trembled slightly: "You quickly let go of the peony, our Golden Dragon Gang is not easy to mess with." Our second child is called Wu Wuving, and the third child is called Zhenchengxi. If you dare to hurt Peony, our Golden Dragon Gang will never let you go!"

Xu Ao originally just planned to help the little girl up and see if she had fallen and injured herself, since she had been struggling, then follow her wishes and put her down.

As soon as the little girl's feet landed, she immediately pushed Xu Ao away, shouting that her brother ran to the pigtailed doll in Xu Ao's mouth.

"Count you as acquaintances! Let's go!" The tall and thin doll was definitely the leader of this group, and as soon as he gave the order, several people immediately followed him and walked outside, no matter how cold it was outside at the moment.

"Wait!" Xu Ao hurriedly said. If they just left, would they be freezing and hungry, and it would be difficult for them to ask where this was.

The four dolls froze suddenly, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know who shouted, and the four of them ran away.

Xu Ao was already sore all over, and it took a lot of strength to break free from the rope just now. Now these little ghosts are running in all directions, and he has no strength to chase them.

But it was also Xu Ao's luck, not long after a few little ghosts ran out, they heard the cry of the little girl and the comforting voices of the three of them. Then, the leading imp probed his head and stuck his head in, looked at Xu Ao and then at the candle on the table: "Don't move, I'...... I'll grab a candle and go. ”

Xu Ao shrugged: "You are at your own convenience"

Visibly relieved, the imp walked in, his back against the wall and toward the table. for fear of exposing his back in front of Xu Ao's eyes.

Finally, his fingertips touched the candlestick, and the whole person suddenly relaxed. Who knows, at this moment of relaxation, the little ghost who has not eaten for two days trembled his fingertips, the candlestick fell to the ground, and the surroundings suddenly darkened.

The little ghost screamed, and the three dolls outside the door immediately pushed the door and rushed in, fearing that something bad would happen to their boss.

Xu Ao shook his head and took out a fire diamond the size of a quail egg from the mezzanine of his clothes. If it weren't for the fire diamond in his arms, he would have frozen to death from hunger and cold in the past few days.

The crimson fire diamond glowed with a warm orange-red glow, and the entire ruined temple suddenly warmed up.

Xu Ao looked at the shocked expressions of the four little ghosts, pointed to the open space on both sides, and placed the fire diamond in his hand in the center in front of him.

The four imps hesitated for a moment, but after all, they couldn't resist the temptation of light and warmth, and sat down in turn. The tall and thin man is closest to Xu Ao, and the little girl is the farthest away from Xu Ao. Obviously, he hasn't let down his guard yet.

Xu Ao didn't care about them, he took out half a round cake from his sleeve and put it on the fire drill to slowly warm it.

This fire drill is also strange to say, Xu Ao has not been able to figure out how it heats up, and can only attribute it to a mineral that can emit light waves similar to infrared.

As the cold and hard round cakes gradually softened, bursts of fragrance continued to seduce the nerves of the four dolls.

Grunt, I don't know whose stomach rang first.
