He Xu lowered his head, put his hands on his knees, and occasionally glanced at the old lady in front of him. She was wearing a long green gown and a pair of blue cloth shoes.
She had a high bun on her head and couldn't see her face clearly, so she just stood there blankly.
Outside the house, the little white donkey saw the old woman appearing. He was about to stand up, looked at her, yawned and sat down again.
The two of them were silent for a long time, until the porridge in the small pot a year ago was boiling and was about to overflow.
He Xu felt extremely distressed, so he blinked his eyes and plucked up the courage to complain to the old woman: "Mother-in-law, this porridge is going to be spilled..."
The old woman didn't expect that He Xu would say such words after being the first to speak. She was stunned for a while, then burst into laughter and touched his little head: "Okay, okay, mother-in-law, I won't scare you."
In a blink of an eye, the originally blurry face on the old woman's face suddenly became clear. She was an old woman with wrinkles on her face but a particularly kind smile.
"Little one, what's your name and who did you come with? But tell the truth and don't lie to your mother-in-law." the old woman asked.
He Xu nodded like a fool: "Mother-in-law, my name is He Xu. I came here with my brother He Ze. We are going to Daqi to find my lost sister."
"Little one, my name is Liu Qingya, you can call me Granny Qingya." Granny Qingya took away a burning firewood and said, "Do you believe it, Granny?"
He Xu thought for a while and then said: "The old lady doesn't look like a bad person, I believe it."
Granny Qingya was a little pleased: "Then you listen to your mother-in-law and quickly take your brother with you to escape from this Taoxi Temple. The further away the better."
In the main hall opposite, the statue of an exorcist boy holding a demon-conquering pestle, with red eyes, slowly moved his body, and for a moment, there was a rumbling sound.
"Liu Qingya, you have repeatedly ruined my good deeds." The incense ash that had been deposited for a long time spurted out from the mouth of the statue.
In the temple, many businessmen and escorts in the guest rooms saw the figure of Granny Qingya. The timid ones were so frightened that they screamed and rushed out of the guest rooms.
Some of the bodyguards struck fiercely at Granny Qingya's figure with their swords. Green smoke filled the air, and then only a willow branch was left on the ground.
All signs indicate that there is something fishy about this temple.
Outside the temple, Xu Xiuzhu was helping Xia Ze pick up dead branches on the ground, while complaining that the temple was not welcoming guests well today. As usual, the monk who made rice would stay in the kitchen until midnight, so he went to bed early today and wanted to
You have to wait until tomorrow to eat Taoxi Temple's vegetarian meal.
"Brother He, I'm not lying to you. Taoxi Temple's multi-grain rice, as well as pickles and pickled radish, are very famous. You will know about it tomorrow." Xu Xiuzhu picked up dead branches one after another.
"I know, Brother Xu, I believe you." Xia Ze had no expression on his face.
Xu Xiuzhu saw the peach blossoms on the tree in full bloom, and thought it would look great on Yingluo's head, just to tease her, but suddenly he smiled bitterly and gave up on picking the flowers.
At this moment, a woman called out at the door of the temple: "Brother Xiuzhu."
When he turned around, it was Yan Yingluo, running towards him step by step, and he subconsciously wanted to hide elsewhere.
Yan Yingluo let out an ouch, then sat down on the flowing stream. She was already feeling aggrieved, and following this momentum, she began to sob.
Xia Ze was a little embarrassed. Logically speaking, he should not be present on this occasion, so he deliberately walked slowly. Seeing this situation, Xu Xiuzhu beside him quickly came to Yan Yingluo and helped her up.
"Yingluo, why are you so careless?" He wiped away the tears on the woman's face and asked with concern.
"Brother Xiuzhu, why are you avoiding me..." Yan Yingluo's eyes were filled with tears and her face was filled with grievances.
Xu Xiuzhu sighed: "You are a big girl. How can you stick to me every day? You will get married in the future. The bearer is right. We have different identities. Don't let anything bad happen to you.
reputation……"
When Yan Yingluo heard this, she was immediately heartbroken and her tears were like broken beads.
"Brother Xiuzhu, do you dislike me?" she asked.
Xu Xiuzhu hesitated to speak, and looked at Yan Yingluo with a look of reluctance and loss.
"Brother Xiuzhu, please take me away. I don't want to marry a well-matched young man. I just want to..." she sobbed.
"Stop talking..." Xu Xiuzhu turned around sadly.
A man's voice shouted at the door of the temple: "Xu Xiuzhu! You shameless person is seducing my lady again!"
The three of them took a closer look and saw that at the entrance of the temple, the elderly bearer was cursing, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Xu Xiuzhu.
The bearer suddenly noticed that the eyes of Xu Xiuzhu and Yan Yingluo had become strange, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying.
"Run!" Xu Xiuzhu shouted.
The bearer suddenly turned around, but it was too late. The two majestic Vajra statues behind him suddenly came to life. One of them suddenly hit the bearer with a stone-made steel whip on his back.
There was a horrifying sound of bones cracking and a muffled sound of flesh being hit hard. The bearer fell to the ground, vomiting blood from his mouth and twitching continuously.
"Yingluo, He Ze, stay here and don't move!" Xu Xiuzhu shouted, and quickly stepped forward, before the whip-wielding diamond smashed the sedan bearer to death, he slashed out with his sword and split the stone whip into two.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Xiuzhu quickly raised his sword and drew a deep ravine on the chest of the whip-holding diamond statue.
Seeing that he had succeeded, Xu Xiuzhu quickly grabbed the sedan bearer on the ground and was about to retreat. Unexpectedly, the diamond statue of the Subduing Demon Pestle that had not moved before suddenly became angry, raised a fist as big as his head, and hit Xu Xiuzhu's shoulder hard.
He screamed, held on for a breath, moved around a few times, and retreated in front of Xia Ze and Yan Yingluo.
When Yan Yingluo looked at Xu Xiuzhu, she cried out in fright. His shoulders were already covered in blood and flesh. The smashed muscles and broken bones were stuck together. The bones where the shoulders and arms were connected were already
It was broken, and only a layer of skin and flesh remained.
"Yingluo, Brother He Ze, if we start to fight later, you three must leave me alone. Just run down the mountain. If you find someone, let them go up the mountain to rescue us." He said with a solemn expression.
"I don't, I don't want it, Brother Xiuzhu, I will die with you even if I die!" Yan Yingluo cried so hard that the pear blossoms rained down.
"Be obedient!" Xu Xiuzhu shouted, and then seemed a little relieved, "Ying Luo, I like you. I can't do much for you, but it's worth it to exchange my life for your safety."
Yan Yingluo was almost speechless, she just held Xu Xiuzhu's clothes tightly.
"Brother He Ze, please take Ying Luo with you and run as far as you can!"
The two Vajra statues were getting closer and closer. In this dark night, they looked like two gods of death.
