Beside an earthy dirt road, a dilapidated temple with a small half-hall collapsed.

Several woodcutters were whispering something around the fire in the large hall, which was still partially intact.

In the middle of the fire, a few black sticks set up a black and yellow iron pot, and something was boiling in it, and from time to time the strong aroma of food came out.

Not far from the woodcutters were a young scholar and a twelve-year-old scholar.

The scholar sat on a small stool, holding a scroll in his hand, shaking his head and looking at it.

The scholar sat directly on the clean stone steps nearby, munching dryly on a piece of dry food made of coarse grains, revealing a bitter color that was difficult to swallow from time to time.

On the offering table in the center of the main hall stood an unknown statue of an unknown god whose face had been somewhat blurred.

The idol is dressed in green armor, holding a brass Changge, with wings on its back, covered with dust and cobwebs, and looks very hideous and terrifying.

Suddenly, a yin wind blew from outside the temple gate, blowing the bonfire in the temple to the ground, and the temperature in the temple became cold.

The three woodcutters were so excited that they felt chills all over their bodies, and their hands and feet became weak.

"Hey, it's a little weird!" The scholar who was originally reading changed his face slightly, and couldn't help but look out of the hall gate.

"Childe, what's wrong, is there something unclean?" The scholar who was bowing his head and nibbling on dry food was refreshed when he heard this, and his face was full of eagerness.

"I'm not sure yet, but be careful, take out my jade book. If there is a deterrent with this thing, ordinary ghosts should not be able to get close. The scholar stared at the door of the hall for a moment before he commanded with a slight frown.

"Yes. The scholar immediately jumped up from the stone steps, walked a few steps to the bookcase behind the scholar, and turned out something wrapped in yellow cloth, faintly showing a hint of white light.

After the scholar placed the cloth bag next to the scholar, he looked around excitedly.

It is also strange to say that the cold air in the temple really slowly faded in the flashing white light of the cloth bag, and after a while, the entire temple returned to its normal temperature.

"God, it's an immortal master!"

"It's really an immortal master, and only an immortal master can have such a treasure!"

When several woodcutters saw this, they all showed expressions of surprise, and their six eyes stared at the cloth bag for a few moments, and then looked at the two scholars with awe-inspiring eyes, and the voice of conversation suddenly became three points lower.

Seeing this, the scholar sighed, threw the scroll in his hand into the bookcase behind him, and stood up to say something.

But at this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the temple gate, and then a figure stumbled into the main hall from the outside, and after only a few steps, he fell directly to the ground and fell unconscious.

The scholar looked at it and found that this person was actually a petite woman, dressed in green clothes, covered with scars, and the ten fingers of her hands were even more bloody and blurred, as if she had just been tortured.

When the three woodcutters saw this, they were naturally dumbfounded, and the scholar was also taken aback.

Only the scholar remained a little calm, and after carefully looking at the body of the woman in green for a few moments, he commanded without turning his head:

"Shiwu, what are you still doing in a daze, why don't you go and help people and take out my Chunhua Pill. ”

"Childe, there are only the last two Chunhua Pills left, do you really want to take them out for her to use?" The little scholar named Shiwu finally came back to his senses, showing a little hesitation.

"How can a mere healing medicine be compared to human life. The scholar replied without hesitation.

"Childe, you will pretend to be generous. Okay, anyway, you are the master, everything is up to you. ”

When the scholar heard this, he could only agree with a bitter face, and then quickly took out a white vial from the bookcase, and stepped forward to help the woman in green lean against a temple pillar.

"Ahh

As soon as the scholar helped the woman in green up, he subconsciously looked at the other party's face, and then sat on the ground in fright.

The scholar saw the face of the woman in green, and although he didn't scream, his pupils shrank slightly.

The upper part of the face of the woman in front of her is the same as that of an ordinary woman of sixteen or seventeen, and it can even be said that her skin is white and delicate, and her eyebrows are picturesque, but the mouth part from the nose down is a hideous beast mouth with yellow-green markings, and the gills on both sides are also hairy beast hair.

"Youkai!"

The three woodcutters also saw the face of the woman in green clearly, and one by one they were so frightened that they rushed out of the hall and ran away without looking back.

"Demon beast? no, there is no demon energy on it, otherwise I would have found out as soon as possible. Could it be a half-demon? This is somewhat possible, but it is said that the half-demon is born with amazing mana, and this woman does not have the slightest mana fluctuation on her body, as if she is just a mortal? Unless it is a ......"

The scholar didn't care about the actions of those woodcutters, but stared at the terrifying face of the girl in green, revealing a deep groan.

Seeing that the scholar did not speak, the scholar could only stand up again, swallowed a few times of saliva, and then bravely gave the woman the pill in the vial, and took out a gourd from his bosom and poured a few mouthfuls of water.

It seems that the effect of the Chunhua Pill is amazing, and after a while, the woman in green slowly woke up from her coma, first looked around a few times in fear, and then seemed to understand something, and after breathing a sigh of relief, she barely straightened up, and saluted the scholar: "Thank you Engong for saving me, but the little woman must leave here immediately, otherwise she will cause a big disaster to Engong." ”

Although the woman's face was terrifying, her voice was surprisingly gentle and sweet.

"Who the hell is the girl, and what are these injuries on her body?"

"I'm afraid the little woman doesn't have time to tell Eun Gong anything, she really has to leave immediately. The girl laughed miserably, and then struggled to her feet, and walked out of the temple gate.

Seeing this, the scholar's eyes flickered a few times, but he didn't say anything more. But at this moment, three screams suddenly came faintly outside the main hall, and listening to the sounds, it seemed that they were the three woodcutters who had just left.

"Oh no, they're chasing after you. When the beast-faced girl heard this, her face turned extremely pale, and she hurried a few steps to take the door and leave. But after only going out a few feet, he fell to the ground again.

"With your injuries, where can you go at this moment?" the scholar shook his head when he saw this.

At this time, outside the temple gate, at some point, there was a large area of gloomy gray mist, and the five fingers could not be seen, as if the entire temple was shrouded in it.

When the beast-faced girl saw the situation outside the temple gate, her face was full of despair, and she knew that it was too late for her to flee at this time.

The scholar blinked, and his gaze was full of curiosity as he looked at the door of the temple.

The scholar turned his head to look at the idol on the offering table, then looked at the fog outside the temple door, and couldn't help sighing, and was about to say something to the girl, but there were bursts of low ghost crying in the fog outside, and then a sound of kicking and stomping footsteps came.

The scholar was silent for a moment.

The billowing mist outside the temple gate suddenly split to the sides, and four strange men wearing different masks walked in from outside.

The first two were dressed in cyan bronze armor, one was tall and wore a cyan ox-faced mask, and the other was thin and wore a yellow horse-faced mask.

The latter two were graceful, but they were two plump women, but they wore even more hideous skull masks on their faces, one was blue and the other was red.
