Chapter 8 Ruined Temple

Li Er was in shackles and could not walk fast. By noon, the team had only gone halfway.

Seeing that the sky suddenly became cloudy, the nursing staff who were familiar with the roads turned into a fork in the road, and after walking a few hundred meters they saw a small dilapidated temple.

I don’t know when this temple was abandoned. A pair of gates have been demolished. Standing at the entrance of the temple, you can see a clay statue with a missing head and hay covering the ground. Fortunately, the blue brick wall is still strong.

, I think people often stay here to take shelter from the rain.

The two nurses had just picked up two piles of dry firewood around the temple, and the drizzle of autumn started to fall.

The caretaker Lao Wang huddled in front of the fire beside the ruined temple wall, adding a few dry logs to the fire from time to time.

The gusts of cold wind brought the chill in the rain, causing the fire to flicker, as if it would be extinguished in the next moment. The autumn rain was so cold that it made people feel chilly.

"Xiao Xu, has Li Er's wife slept with you? I saw her coming out of your house in the middle of the night last month."

"Don't talk nonsense, it was my sister-in-law who came to my house to borrow... needle and thread, needle and thread." Xiao Xu quickly looked at Li Ercai in the corner and said.

"Come on, borrow a needle and thread in the middle of the night. You are still young. Don't think that sleeping with a woman means you are getting an advantage. This slutty person never loses his kidneys but not his heart. You think you are everything to her, but in fact you are just a piece of cake.

Stick, when you find a good wife who loves you in the future, you will understand that your own wife is better."

"You can't say that to my sister-in-law. She is sincere to me. The reason why she became wanton is all caused by magic."

"I'm afraid that's what she and all her lovers said. You're lucky too, and you didn't get sucked dry. I heard that the few people who died in our Xie family in the past few days all had an affair with her."

Wang Hehe smiled and said nothing more.

Xiao Xu didn't speak this time. He seemed to have just learned the news, and his face turned green and red. Although he still didn't want to believe it, thinking of the tragic situation of the deceased, he felt cold in his lower body.

Du Kang noticed that Li Er's expression did not change much when the two guards were talking, and he seemed to have already accepted the reality.

Lao Wang found a clay pot in the temple, collected the rainwater under the eaves and washed it, then took a full pot and placed it on the fire. When the water was boiled, he took out a bag of tea leaves and Sichuan peppercorns from his arms.

After pouring it into the jar, the faint fragrance of tea wafted in the small temple within a moment.

Du Kang took out his naan cakes and distributed them to several people. He roasted the naan cakes by the fire until soft and fragrant, and started eating and drinking them with hot tea.

The rain outside the temple showed no sign of stopping, and a faint white mist appeared in the air. After several people finished eating, there was another sound of people outside.

"Brother, we're here. Let's take shelter from the rain in this small temple. It's too risky to travel in this rainy and foggy day."

After a moment, several men wearing raincoats and bamboo hats walked in.

The leading man bowed his hands toward the room and said.

"The road is encountering mountains and rain, and the journey is difficult. I need to squeeze in with you in this small temple. If I offend you, please bear with me."

Du Kang did not respond. Lao Wang glanced at Du Kang and said it was casual.

The leading man had a scar on his face, slanting from the left side of his face to the right side of his face. It could be seen that his nose had been cut off. He looked at the four people for a while, focusing on Li Er who was wearing shackles and Du Kang who was warming himself.

He paused, and then looked away without leaving a trace.

The three men walked into the temple and occupied a corner on the left side. They picked up the gourds around their waists and began to drink thick porridge. It seemed that wine had been added to the porridge. When they opened the gourd lid, the aroma of wine overflowed.

"A few friends, we are destined to meet each other. The rain looks like it will not stop today. Would you like to have a cup of our wine and porridge?"

"No, we just had it." Lao Wang directly rejected the offer on behalf of everyone else.

Seeing that several people were not drinking, the man didn't take it seriously and started another topic. Lao Wang was also a good talker, and they started chatting about everything. The atmosphere became lively for a while, which diluted the initial conversation between the two groups.

The awkwardness of meeting.

The autumn rain continued, and a stream of cold wind blew in from the wide open temple door. After drinking and eating, the cold wind blew everyone away from the conversation, and they all began to huddle on the hay and warm themselves by the fire.

At this time, someone came again outside the temple.

At some point, a slovenly old Taoist priest stood outside the temple. No one heard his approaching footsteps. Du Kang, who was squinting in sleep, subconsciously looked towards the temple door and saw him standing at the door.

Unconsciously holding the long knife in his hand, Du Kang shouted to the door, "Taoist Priest, the autumn rain is wet and cold, please come in and take shelter from the rain."

Hearing Du Kang's voice, the people in the temple realized that there was someone standing at the door.

After hearing the words, the old Taoist priest slowly walked into the temple. Only then could he see clearly that the old Taoist priest's robe was in tatters and his gray beard was black and knotted because it had not been combed for a long time.

After the old Taoist priest entered the temple, he found an open space to sit cross-legged and meditate. The temple was not big, and it was not very spacious for two groups of seven people to live in. However, everyone still moved their positions farther away from him.

The wilderness is full of dangers, and those who can travel alone are not ordinary people. This old Taoist priest looks strange, and no one wants to provoke him.

The atmosphere suddenly became depressing, but the rain continued and no one left. Du Kang sensed that the Yin God was slowly absorbing the spiritual energy, and at the same time he paid attention to the old Taoist priest with his spiritual eyes.

In the colorful ocean of spiritual energy, the old Taoist priest's abdominal cavity was emitting black and red light. He was obviously a monk.

The time passed quickly in silence, and night fell before I knew it. The old Taoist was still sitting cross-legged in meditation, Xiao Xu and Li Er had fallen asleep, and only Lao Wang was still holding on to his sleepiness and keeping vigil.

The scar-faced man got up and went to urinate outside the house. At this time, one of his companions followed him out and whispered beside him.

"Brother, this Taoist priest is in the temple and I'm so scared that I might as well go on the road in the rain during the day."

The scarred man immediately shook his head and lowered his voice.

"Such things are inevitable when you go out. Even if you become a monk, you still have one head and two legs. If your head is cut off, you will still die. But monsters are different. Some little monsters can resist the charge of a group of cavalry. Go back,

Most of the time, humans are easier to deal with than monsters."

The scar-faced man shook Gil and lifted up his pants. His brother also finished urinating and returned to the temple together.

The night is gloomy and the wind is as cold as a knife.

The fire in the temple was extinguished at some point, leaving only a few embers emitting a dim red light.

The scar-faced man was taking a nap when he suddenly heard a slight snort from the brother next to him. He couldn't help but kick him and whispered.

"Relapse into the same old habit? If you want a woman to go to the city and find one for you, don't do it yourself now, it will embarrass me."

The big man's brother didn't respond. Instead, he was knocked over by the kick and lay on the ground without moving.

The scar-faced man suddenly came to his senses, pulled out the long knife from his waist and shouted, "Who is plotting against my brother?"

This loud shout woke up everyone who had been sleeping soundly. They saw a black shadow coming out from under the brother's body. This black shadow was extremely fast. He rushed out of the door with just one breath. The long knife that the big man slashed was not even close to the door.

Didn't touch the shadow at all.

When everyone hurriedly lit the torches and raised the fire again, they discovered that more than one person was dead, and Li Er, who had been huddled in the corner, was also dead.

Placing the two corpses side by side in the center of the temple, you can see that a hole was opened in their lower abdomens, and a lot of internal organs could be seen through the hole.

"This seems to be a small monster that likes to eat human internal organs." The person who spoke was the old Taoist priest who had been meditating since entering the temple.

"Does the Taoist priest know this monster? Will he come back with this kind of monster's temperament?" Lao Wang saw that someone knew him and asked quickly.

"Since this monster attacked us while we were sleeping, it's not that hard to think about. As long as we are careful and vigilant, it will be fine. And now that the rain has stopped, it shouldn't be difficult for the six of us to stay until dawn."

"Good advice, Taoist Master." Lao Wang said this compliment, but he didn't agree with it in his heart. He had also thought of these speculations, but the demon nature has always been cunning, and the information displayed may be just a disguise.

Lao Wang looked at Du Kang and saw him shaking his head imperceptibly, and felt relieved.

Instructor Du is a monk, and he killed Wei Hongxia, a demon, last night. In the morning, he went to collect Wei Hongxia's body. The body was so dead that Old Wang had never seen anyone who could cut a person in half in his entire life.

Du Kang also walked to the body and observed the wound. The cold wind blew a strand of the old Taoist priest's hair across Du Kang's cheek, and the blue panel suddenly jumped out.

【Name】:Zhang Leitou

[Five Elements Magic]: Use the Five Elements spiritual objects/evil energy to breed a Five Elements boy in the body, which is dependent on the caster. The Five Elements boy is born with the ability to control the Five Elements. To grow, he needs to eat the Five Elements spiritual energy and animal offal.

You will gain the power to control the five elements.

Level: Leveled

Skill: Red-faced Boy (First Level)

Black faced boy (first level)

Seeing the introduction that the five elements boy and the caster were interdependent, Du Kang opened his spiritual eyes again, looked at the red light left in the Taoist priest's body, and couldn't help but grin.

He stepped back, drew his sword and threw it away from its sheath, holding the sword with both hands and slashing at the old Taoist priest's back with all his strength.

The old Taoist priest was thinking about how to continue to fool this group of people into dying. Suddenly, he heard a sound of breaking through the air behind him.

Taoist spine.

The sharp blade cuts through clothing, skin, muscles, bones, and cuts off all obstacles in front of you.

When the old Taoist priest landed, he lost control of his lower body. He struggled and turned around and pointed at Du Kang, who was holding the knife. A flaming red light flew out of his chest and rushed toward Du Kang's face.

The fire was only a small ball, but as soon as it appeared in the temple, it set off a heat wave.

"Kill him." Du Kang shouted, and was forced to fly back by the fire.

This sudden change happened in just a few breaths. The two confused scarred men just retreated to the corner and stood guard with knives. Lao Wang did not hesitate to slash at the old Taoist priest with his knife while chasing Du Kang in the light of fire.

Xiao Xu followed up with a knife after seeing Lao Wang's actions.

This fire light can fly in mid-air and is extremely sensitive. Fortunately, it still has to worry about Du Kang's long knife, so it was forced back several times. Du Kang fought and retreated, leading the red-faced boy out of the temple gate.

"The boy is back!"

The old Taoist priest was paralyzed on the ground. He took out a short stick from nowhere and was fighting with Lao Wang Xiaoxu. Seeing this, he shouted loudly.

But the boy didn't seem to hear it, and he chased Du Kang regardless. After only a few dozen meters, he heard an old Taoist priest wailing from the temple, "Heaven is going to kill me..." The fire on the red-faced boy collapsed,

He fell from mid-air to the ground.

At this time, Du Kang had already had half of his hair and eyebrows burned off, and his exposed skin was blistered by the sparks. Fortunately, he was wearing leather armor, so the burns were not serious.

Although it looks miserable, with the self-healing ability of the Buried Blade Technique, I think it will recover quickly, and it will not affect the sense of immersion of handsome readers for a long time.

He tore a piece of cloth from his clothes, wrapped the dead red-faced boy, and opened his spiritual eyes to search, and found a black spiritual light flashing a few meters outside the temple.

After all, the black-faced boy failed to reach the savior.

He put the black-faced boy away and returned to the temple. By the light of the fire, he saw...
