Tsk, tsk, tsk, the enemy is really knocking on your door."
Yan? Opened the door of another small room with a leisurely tone. This place was quite far away from the temple, and he was not afraid of any partition walls with ears. As soon as he opened the door, he announced to the people in the room with a tone of gloating. There was no response, he
He smiled leisurely and strengthened his tone: "The people who burned your spider nest and repaired you are here."
The man still ignored him, or rather, he didn't even move his eyes. Yan? He was very happy with it, and continued:
"I remember clearly the way you ran for your life. You were very elegant and free. You are worthy of being a great demon. It's a good thing you ran fast. Otherwise, you would have caught up with me on the road. I might not have been able to do it all."
Come here. So, could it be that they were chasing you to get here? Could it be that you lured them here?"
He was chattering non-stop when suddenly there was a loud noise of tables and chairs overturning. In the flash of lightning, Lu Wu grabbed his neck and pinned him to the ground. He watched coldly as the snake demon struggled and twisted.
The attack came suddenly. Yan Qi was strangled so hard that his pupils bulged. He opened his mouth wide and leaked from his throat.
Hissing sound, even the tongue in his mouth turned into the shape of a snake. Gradually, some outlines of snake scales appeared on his face, his skin turned blue, and there was a sound in his throat as if he was about to expire.
The deputy was about to be pinched out of his original shape by the force, and then Luowu let go, his eyes still looking like he wanted to kill someone.
"Be careful what you say. Next time, I can't guarantee that your head with the chattering mouth will still be on your neck."
Yan? He scratched his throat and coughed for a long time before he came back to his senses. When he spoke again, he still showed no trace of fear. It was like hitting a snake with a stick.
"Hey, hey, you're just kidding, why is it so popular? Phew..."
Minwu glanced coldly and sat back on the chair.
"Do you think I'm willing to give up like this?"
Naturally, he was not referring to the snake demon. Yan? Crossed his legs at his feet, straightened his upper body and joked: "Oh, you have to hold a grudge. Don't let the grudge last night, don't let it get stale. Go get them all tonight while they are asleep.
Die. Don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you from the temple.”
"It's not that simple." He didn't know whether this snake spirit was more of a joke or more of a murderer. He first gave him a look and asked him not to act rashly. "They have brought two gods together. There are many accidents in this, but they are bound to do it."
Not an easy person to deal with."
"They also kidnapped all God's treasures. Those things are all on them, so it's really a bit tricky." Yan? smiled slightly.
"That's not necessarily the case."
Yan? Suddenly became energetic. With quick eyes and quick hands, he wanted to catch the flash of blue light that flashed in front of his eyes. However, Luwu had already stopped and took the blue amber back to his body.
"At least this one is gone."
"Let me tell you...no wonder something feels different about you. I thought it was because you went to have fun somewhere."
Yan? Narrowed his eyes and licked his lips, like a snake testing its prey. Luwu didn't want to get entangled in this topic. He changed the subject:
"I'm going to rest here for a while. It's not the problem of my place - the Bird God's territory has been completely destroyed. Without a god who is superior to ten thousand people, no matter how good the bargaining chip is, there is nowhere to cash it in."
Yan? He smacked his lips and said, "The territory is well managed, so you just give up?"
"Do you want me to follow in the footsteps of the Bird God?"
"Then stay." Yan? said casually, glancing away, "it's quite nice here - it's also very interesting."
Lu Wu simply ignored him.
"I will find another way out. When the time comes, you come with me."
Yan? Didn't expect this. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment and raised his voice.
"With...huh? It's not very good to join a new family and take one with you. I'm not ready yet."
"Stop talking nonsense and follow me."
Luwu listened to his words now, but his attitude was unquestionable. Yan? shrugged and said indifferently:
"Okay, okay, it's all up to you."
Luwu stopped talking. He stood up and turned around to rest. Yan? Behind him, he said quietly:
"Priest Chu didn't say you were here. If you really don't want to kill me and start other troubles, you'd better change the time and place."
Wu Wutou left without looking back.
"I didn't intend to argue with them here."
Bai Ya has been wandering outside for many years. It stands to reason that he has already developed the ability to sleep on the bed. This night was a little different. I wonder if it was the unique climate in the center of the swamp. He felt that the air around him was extremely humid and stuffy, and his chest
It was as if a stone had been pressed against him. He was very tired and couldn't rest his head, so he turned over anxiously. In the dim light, he saw another bunk on the bed, and Liu Shenghan's eyes also reflected a glimmer of light.
"Why are you still awake?"
"Can't sleep." She sighed faintly, "I feel...I heard something special. I tried hard to hear it but couldn't hear it clearly. I tried not to pay attention to it, but it lingered on me."
"Ringing in the ears, right? Well, I have to sleep." Bai Ya didn't know whether he was talking to her or to himself, "We have to get up early tomorrow. This temple is going to send someone to take us to the border. If we can't get up, we'll miss it. It would make us laugh.
I don’t really want to be forgotten here with those people. If I go on my own, there’s no guarantee that something unexpected will happen. I’ll light my candle, it will help me sleep faster.”
"Let me do it. It will be more useful to you, and I think you will fall asleep faster. If I get sleepy, I will blow it out for you."
She was still uneasy. The moment she lit the incense candle, the candle flame that suddenly illuminated the darkness made Liu Shenghan feel a strange throbbing, as if her heart was squirming uneasily. She felt like an animal before a natural disaster, unaware of the danger.
Where it comes from and how it arrives, you can really feel the undercurrent surging in the dark.
She couldn't just lie back like this, so she let her intuition guide her and walked out of the room. Walking through the cold dirt road, the chirping of insects kept lingering in her ears. After walking in the night for a while, she found that the road was somewhat familiar. She was going to the temple.
road.
Liu Shenghan stopped in front of the temple, frowning and listening, trying to identify the buzzing in her ears. It was not her ears, but her internal organs felt a strange resonance, which was difficult for her to describe and distinguish. Suddenly, the tip of her ear felt itchy.
A faint ringing sound passed through my ears.
She didn't know what it was, so she instinctively grabbed it and chased it into the temple. Most of the candles had been extinguished, and the stone corridor was cold and gloomy. The ringing sound had not disappeared, but she almost felt that she was getting used to it and her ears were about to be spared.
This intrusion of noise meant she had to move faster. She walked in half in the dark, trying to find some clues.
Uneasiness, sticky, heavy uneasiness clinging to her limbs, flowing slowly, ice cold, and very uncomfortable. Liu Shenghan felt that kind of meticulous fear - yes, panic. It was difficult for her to understand why she had always been calm.
It will become like this, this
It must be some kind of signal, but she has no way of knowing it, nor can she decipher it. The thin and light ringing sounds are like some kind of wail, and her heart can resonate with it. Her heartbeat is too fast and noisy, and her blood is almost boiling.
, which makes the draft even more biting.
In the dark night, Liu Shenghan felt that all her senses were infinitely amplified. What was she afraid of? She even hoped that someone could answer this stupid question.
"...Yes...well, that's right."
She didn't know how deep she had groped, but there was a vague voice coming from a side room not far away. Liu Shenghan raised his eyebrows, and his heart almost skipped a beat. The voice was very vague, but it was enough for her to recognize that it was the one who entertained them in the evening.
Great Priest, Chu Tianhe.
Hasn't he rested yet? Why is he still staying in this huge temple in the middle of the night? Curiosity is a human instinct, and Liu Shenghan does not leave herself outside. She approaches quietly, and hears the other party sometimes being silent, sometimes
Respond briefly:
"That's exactly it... If you think so, I have no objection... Right? That's it? Just deal with it like this. Whether it will happen in the future... Well, fine. It's all up to you."
Liu Shenghan was almost touching the door, when the sound stopped. She paused, and before she could decide whether to get closer, go deeper, or leave, the door rang softly.
Chu Tianhe walked out. He was still holding the magic staff from the night and was straightening his clothes. When he looked up, he met Liu Shenghan face to face. Both of them were caught off guard. The corridor was filled with embarrassing people.
silence.
"...Miss Liu, you haven't rested yet? Are you not used to the rattan bed here? You guys should be sleeping on something harder. I wonder if you will suffer from back pain. Sorry, I didn't think about it."
"No, it doesn't matter, you are serious. I have some insomnia, maybe I really need to choose a bed...but it doesn't matter. I just want to walk around casually, but I am not familiar with the road. I only recognize this temple." Liu Shenghan replied lightly.
, "But you didn't come home so late and were still busy in the temple. You are really doing your duty."
"This temple is my place of residence, like a home." Chu Tianhe said, "As the head of a priest, I have to preside over the whole temple. There are often arrangements for the sacrifices of the python god.
It’s not a coincidence that you met me at the temple after staying overnight.”
"Ah, I thought you were accepting Lord Python God's will."
Liu Shenghan probed with a half-smile. She carefully observed Chu Tianhe's expression, eager to capture some subtle changes. But Chu Tianhe remained calm and composed, not showing the slightest trace of panic or offended anger.
"Lord Python God is everywhere. I don't need to go to any special place to find a shrine to chat."
His tone was not that serious, but had a hint of joking that matched Liu Shenghan's, which she couldn't tell clearly.
"That's right."
"Well. It's late at night. You have a schedule tomorrow, so go to bed early."
When he said these words, his face still had that stiff, carefully carved smile like a mask. There was no flaw in it, but it made people feel very uncomfortable. Even so, Liu Shenghan didn't want to treat him too much.
I doubt it. Different places in Jiutian Kingdom have different rules. As an outsider staying overnight, it is really rude to interfere with other people's "household affairs" by receiving such a standard of hospitality.
"It should be so. I took a walk and I hope I can sleep well when I go back."
Chu Tianhe sent her out of the temple. Before leaving, Liu Shenghan quickly took a look inside the ajar door. There was no one inside. She was not sure whether it was because the time was too short to see it, or the light was too dark to see it.
See clearly. The only thing she was sure of was that the faint sound of conversation before was definitely not her auditory hallucination. And the ringtone was also disrupted by this conversation and could no longer be heard.
The source of the uneasiness seems not to be here. But, judging from his tone, he must be talking to someone. On the way back to the house, Liu Shenghan was still thinking about it. But that person was gone, and I only felt him.
A person's breath...
She wanted to talk to Bai Ya about this, but when she opened the door, Bai Ya had already closed his eyes under the candlelight, and his breathing was even and long. So Liu Shenghan suppressed the doubts in his heart, blew out the candle, and lay back on the bedclothes.
.
She was still thinking about the swamp, the temple, and the priest. Soon, the uneasiness was still pressing heavily on her chest, making her breathing too heavy, and the night covered her eyes, slowly pulling her away from all this.
The middle belt is far away.
