Approaching the Taoist temple, I realized that it was dilapidated and unsightly, I really don't know what year and month it was built, but looking at the surrounding bricks and tiles, the wall cracks are vertical and horizontal, and I dare not imagine whether it will collapse. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The wind and the sun are blowing, the traces of the changes of the years can be seen everywhere, the decayed courtyard door is only left on the left, the right one has disappeared, and the handwriting on the lintel has long ceased to exist. A gust of wind blew and kept dropping sand and dust.

The two hesitated for a moment, but finally walked in, and carefully stepped over the door to slash, for fear that the door would fall and the wall would collapse if there was a big movement.

The Taoist temple is not large, and you can reach the main hall a few steps away.

The dilapidated wooden door made a "squeak" sound from time to time, and I don't know if it was the wind or the moths in the board.

"This Taoist temple is really special, half of the gate of the outer courtyard is missing, and the door of the main hall is closed!"

Hua Ling was in the same mood, glanced at the wooden door, and said: "In other places, there are layers of cobwebs and fallen leaves everywhere, but this place is quite clean, especially this door, which is spotless!"

Crazy stretched out his hand to wipe it, there was indeed no dust, and with a slight force on his hand, the door "squeaked" open, and the first thing that caught his eye was a huge "Dao" word on the back wall, but it was based on a gossip pattern.

There is a brown glazed incense burner on the table below, full of incense ash, and two candlesticks have long been out of fire. There are three large plates of fruit offerings on the table, which seem to be fresh and smell fragrant.

"It's really strange, this incense has been extinguished for a long time, but there are people offering sacrifices!I've never seen anyone sacrifice like this!" Hua Ling couldn't help laughing as he spoke, and asked in disbelief, "There shouldn't really be anyone here, right?"

"I can't tell...... cough cough ......" Crazy didn't finish a word, he was already coughing again and again, and his body couldn't bear the fatigue caused by running all the way.

"Crazy ......" Hua Ling knew his physical condition, and helped him to the door on the left.

It turned out that this was the bedroom, and most of the dogwood mat on the kang had been rotten, so Hua Ling hurriedly stepped forward to take care of it briefly, helped him sit down, and then ran out of the door, picked up some dry and dead branches, and led the fire to warm the kang.

At this time, the wind outside was strong, and only the doors and windows were blowing, adding to the cold.

"Crazy, I'll use my luck to ward off the cold for you. Hua Ling said.

"You've always taken care of me, and I'm already very sorry to go, so how can I let you consume my true qi for me again?" Crazy was full of apologies, afraid that it would affect her more, and said: "Hua Ling, you promise me one thing, if I fall into the hands of the devil or the righteous person, if I can't be defeated, you must first seek self-protection, and you can't be implicated because of me." ”

Hua Ling's heart warmed, at this time he actually thought about her, and his heart was cold, now that he has become the target of everyone, how can he abandon him? Don't worry, your assumptions won't come true! Come, I'll use my luck to drive away the cold for you, otherwise you won't be able to endure it with your remaining cultivation. ”

Madness didn't want him to waste his real strength, so he politely refused: "It's okay, this is not a kang, you add fire to the fire, it is much warmer than luck." ”

Hua Ling had no choice but to add some dry firewood, feeling hungry, so he went to the table outside to take some "sacrifices" and share them with the madness, which can only be used to satisfy hunger tonight.

It was dark outside, and it was stormy, so there was no way to find anything else.

The room was so dark that he couldn't see it, and he was dozing off, so Hua Ling went to fetch the candlestick again, lit it, and said to himself: "There is no endless road, take local materials, hehe!"

Suddenly hearing a "squeak", Hua Ling couldn't help but scold: "This damn broken door was blown open by the wind again!"

I've been closed several times, but unfortunately there is no latch on the door, and I decided that this time I must find something to hold onto.

The rain followed the wind, and when he entered the house, Hua Ling faintly pounced on the door, closed the door with great strength, touched a thing that seemed to be a round stick on the side, pressed against the door, took a breath, and turned back, and was just about to enter the bedroom, when he heard a trembling frightened voice behind him: "Ghost!"

Hua Ling was startled by the sudden scream, and by the faint candlelight, a dark shadow could be faintly seen under the table.

Hua Lingdun was angry, just now he must have pushed the door in, three steps and two steps, to the table and grabbed his shoulder clothes, and said: "Dare to scare this girl, you come out for me!"

"Ghosts, ghosts...... Spare your life, help!" the frightened voice continued, shouting non-stop.

Hua Ling dragged it into the house angrily, and only when he got close to the candlelight did he see clearly, Lao Suo's messy flower hair, a strand of beard on his chin was dripping with droplets, ordinary clothes, fifty or sixty years old, his expression was in a trance, and his face was full of fear, as if he had a nervous problem.

"Hua Ling, this old man is being drenched in heavy rain outside, right?" Crazy woke up from his sleep, "Hua Ling, you build a fire and let the old man dry his clothes." Ahem...... , the old man is thin and weak, and he can't help the cold. ”

Hua Ling was full of reluctance, and said: "Hey, you can't take care of yourself, and you still have the heart to care about him?" Besides, how can there be a person like him in this wilderness? It seems that the common people, who knows if it is sent by the Heavenly Demon Immortal Monarch!" He turned his face and asked, "Hey, where are you from?" What are you doing here? Are you a person from the Demon Dao?"

The old man moved back in fright, nodded for a while, and then quickly shook his head.

"Look, he has a problem here, how could it be sent by the Heavenly Demon Immortal Monarch?" Madness pointed to his mind and said, looking at him trembling, he really couldn't bear it, "Quickly raise the fire and let him be warm!"

"You are so ...... to a madman" Hua Ling stopped, did not argue, took the brazier and lit the fire, and said coldly: "Old fellow, take off your clothes......"

"Hua Ling, don't be so ignorant of respecting the elderly!" said wildly with a slight reprimand, and as soon as he finished speaking, he coughed again and again.

"Okay, okay, everything is up to you!" Hua Ling didn't dare to let him move, lest his body collapse, and said while gesturing: "Uncle, take off your clothes and dry them by the brazier, you lean closer to the brazier, warm and warm, huh?"

After a while, the old man understood what he meant, took off his coat, and then stretched out his hand to bake the fire, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Hua Ling helped him wring out the water in his coat, propped it up by the brazier and baked, and when he saw that Mad Shay dozed off again, he glared at Lao Su coldly, wishing that he would disappear in front of him immediately, so as not to have to be distracted to take care of Mad Shah. But the crazy old man looked satisfied, and raised his hand to point to the brazier, and gave a thumbs up to Hua Ling, until her eyes were so angry that she broke a dead branch fiercely, and threw it into the brazier, causing the fire core to splash everywhere, and the flames disappeared for a long time, and the frightened old man hid again and again.

Seeing this, she smiled proudly.

The old man seemed to understand what was going on, glanced at her coldly, then moved to the brazier, stretched out his hands and continued to roast the fire, as if nothing had happened.

"Stinky madman, don't get away again, see if this girl doesn't kill you!" Hua Ling laughed to himself, scolded secretly, approached the brazier, stretched out his hands to bake the fire, but in his heart he was looking for another way, not to drive this madman away, and he would not give up. Knowing this, Fang Cai should have dragged him out of the door directly.

But feeling the coldness coming from his hands, Hua Ling moved forward, put his hands close to the brazier, and still couldn't feel the warmth brought by the brazier, and suddenly wondered: It's strange, why does this brazier have no temperature?

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a scorching heat in his hands, and the burning pain came instantly, so he quickly retracted his hands and couldn't help but let out an "oops".

"What's wrong?" asked the madman, opening his eyes.

Hua Ling hurriedly said "hehe" and said, "No, nothing ......"

Looking at his reddened hands, Hua Ling complained bitterly, only blaming himself for leaning his hands too close to the brazier, and when he raised his eyes to look at Lao Suo, he saw that he looked innocent, and his hands were much farther away from the brazier than himself.

The old man noticed that his cold eyes were staring at him, shivered, rubbed his hands and continued to roast the fire, and "laughed maniacally".

Hua Ling didn't believe that he had an illusion just now, and stretched out his hand to try it, and his heart was even more incomprehensible: "It's strange, there was not the slightest temperature at this distance just now, how can there be it now? Is he manipulating me? Is this crazy old man really crazy or fake stupid? Hidden deeply, where did it come from? No, no, what am I thinking nonsense, look at his appearance, if he is not crazy or stupid, then it makes people doubt or not believe it! Just now I must have forgotten to get too close to the brazier when I was trying to figure out a way. ”

More than half an hour later, the warm brazier had the effect of hypnotizing, and unconsciously, Lao Suo dozed off, and after a while, there was a snoring sound.

Hua Ling thought about it for so long, and he didn't figure out the reason why his hands were roasted, but when he heard that Lao Suo was asleep, he gave him a blank look, hated his snoring even more, plugged his ears with his fingers, and then smiled smartly, and had a way to fix him.

was about to prepare, but Wen Crazy stood aside, patted Lao Suo on the shoulder, and said, "Uncle, are you sleepy? Come, go to sleep on the kang." ”

Lao Suo woke up in a daze, heard that he was sleeping on the kang, and suddenly came to the spirit, clapped his hands, and fell asleep on the kang, snoring pleasantly.

"Crazy, how can you do this? You are in serious health, let him be together, how can you rest well?" said Hua Ling with extreme objection.

Shaking his hand wildly, he said, "It's okay, let him have half of the place, just befriend you!"

"Hmph, I'm not going to sleep on the kang, I, I'll be by the brazier!" Hua Ling hurriedly said, he wanted to sleep with that madman, and he didn't want to die, "Your body is very weak, hurry up and rest!"

Raising his hand frantically to signal that he didn't need her support, he sighed helplessly, and let her rest by the brazier with a girl's house, which was really unbearable, but there was no better way at present.

Hua Ling watched him go back to the kang and lie down, only to retract his gaze, this madman made her angry, broke a dry branch and threw it into the brazier, and had nowhere to vent her anger, so she had to support her elbows and knees and put her hands on her cheeks.

After falling asleep, Lao Su raised his head, beckoned to her, and said, "This kang is warm, or you will sleep with him?"

Hua Ling heard the sound and picked up a branch and wanted to throw it away, but Lao Suo hurriedly lowered his head and continued to snor.

I don't know if Hua Ling blushed or blushed with shame, reflecting the firelight is quite moving.
