The two of them stayed in the mansion for too long, and it was almost noon when they left the city. Song Yu took out two sesame cakes from the space when there was no one around, and handed one to Jie Nanshi.
It's great... After going out, he is finally not alone watching others enjoy the delicious food.
Xie Nanshi had never been able to understand Song Yu's brain circuit, so he ignored his almost eager gaze. "Let's go quickly, enter Yuanao Mountain before dark and find a place to stay."
There are monsters roaming freely in Yuanao Mountain. Without a safe and appropriate resting place at night, even he would have difficulty keeping the Song Territory safe.
Song Yu happily responded "Okay". He was originally a high-level player who was proficient in action gameplay. Although the plot of "Meeting the Gods" was unique, it still went against his nature to be bored in the plot all day long. He could only go out and kill monsters.
, even if I don’t practice the operation by myself, I am extremely happy. I am even more obedient to Xie Nanshi’s words.
However, he soon regretted his recklessness. The original plan was to ride all the way, and he could reach Yuanao Mountain quickly. But now he only relies on his legs all the way...
Why didn't he let Xuzhou drive the carriage to the edge of Yuanao Mountain? Well... there was no protection outside the city, and there was danger even if they didn't enter the mountain. This was why they planned to ride out of the city in the first place.
Song Yu originally only had sore muscles in his arms, but his legs became numb after walking. If there was a pedometer, he should have walked tens of thousands of steps. So how far is Yuanao Mountain?
In fact, Xie Nanshi was already accommodating Song Yu's speed, but if they kept going like this, they wouldn't even be able to reach the bottom of the mountain before dark.
Jie Nanshi frowned and thought for a moment, then turned around and raised his hand to draw a talisman behind Song Yu. Song Yu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart: "Wait a minute!"
As Song Yu spoke, he quickly called up a map and searched near Yuanao Mountain. He really found a convenient place to stay!
"There is a temple about 500 meters east of the foot of Yuanao Mountain. We can stay there at night." Song Yu finished speaking in one breath, fearing that Jie Nanshi would really affix something like an emergency talisman on himself.
It was fast on those speeds, but after running, his feet were really useless.
Xie Nanshi raised his eyes when he heard this. He was not familiar with Yuanao Mountain, but Yongxi Prefecture has been in conflict with Yuanao Mountain for many years. Even if there are villagers at the foot of Yuanao Mountain who have enshrined a temple, they should still be attacked by strange ghosts and beasts.
It was just flattened and wiped out. How did it become a place that Song Dynasty could point out on the map?
Xie Nanshi was puzzled, but he didn't express it. He had seen too much about the wonders of the Song Dynasty. Besides, he went out of the city this time to investigate the strange things outside the city. A strange temple, what could be more suspicious than this
of?
The distance to the temple is much closer than entering the mountain. Before dusk, the two of them had arrived near the temple pointed on the map. They could see the courtyard wall standing outside the temple. The wall was originally supposed to be vermilion, but half of the wall was covered in red.
It has fallen off, revealing mottled gray, and even the original vermilion has turned dark red like blood due to the wind and sun.
The walls outside are already in this state, and you can imagine how dilapidated the temple inside must be. At least from the outside, the roof beams of the temple have collapsed in half, but they are barely supporting the last appearance of this ruined temple.
.
The withered temple in the deep mountains sounds like a necessary story plot in a ghost movie. He didn't think this game had this kind of temperament at first. Even the ghosts usually looked like ordinary people. Why did it happen this time?
The evil god belongs to the deserted temple again?
Song Yu couldn't help muttering in his heart, and subconsciously moved behind Jie Nanshi: "How about we change places and take a look?"
The temple looked dead. Xie Nanshi felt it for a moment, but there was no evil atmosphere, but at the same time there was no life.
You must know that this place is close to Yuanao Mountain and surrounded by lush vegetation. The most indispensable thing is life. But...how can there be no life?
"I'll go in first, you wait here." Xie Nanshi explained, and walked towards the temple.
"Why?"
At this moment, the sky was gradually darkening, and there was silence all around. Only a strange temple stood in front of you, like a monster that chooses people to eat.
Song Yu only hesitated for a moment, and quickly followed Xie Nanshi. Are you kidding, let him stay here alone? This ruined temple, enter as soon as you enter. Who would be timid about games? Besides, Xie Nanshi can
He can instantly kill his own person who is at full level with one move, and he will be immune to all ghosts and ghosts around him!
Song Yu comforted himself and followed Xie Nanshi into the small courtyard.
The courtyard door opened, and an evil wind swept out from inside. Song Yu subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands. Before he could open his eyes, he heard a distant sound of wooden fish.
Wooden fish? Song Yu opened his eyes again, and the first thing he saw was the figure of Jie Nanshi standing in front of him, holding a charm with his hands and his back tense. Then he saw the figure sitting cross-legged outside the temple, holding a wooden fish with his eyes closed.
The old monk has two eyes.
The old monk also looked kind-hearted, but when Song Yu thought about the modeling habits of the game "Meet the Gods", being kind-faced might not mean that he was a good person. He didn't look at the deputy governor, but he also had an upright and awe-inspiring look.
?
Compared to Song Yu's speculation, Xie Nanshi's eyes were more filled with doubts. There was clearly no life here, but there was no evil either. It was neither human nor evil, so what on earth was the monk in front of him...?
They didn't move, and neither did the old monk, and the atmosphere became deadlocked. Until there was another sound of wooden fish, and the sound waves rippled through the small courtyard, as if the soul had been purged.
Song Yu subconsciously checked his panel and found that there was an additional buff called Qingxin on it.
Pure Heart: Remove negative status effects.
Song Yu was stunned. This wooden fish was also a frontal prop that was equally effective for him. Although this effect didn't seem to have much effect in fighting, it was rare to encounter one that could be used. Song Yu instantly had the guts to take it for appraisal.
The urge to use it yourself.
"That..." Perhaps because the sound of the wooden fish did not attack him, Song Yu became more courageous, tilting his head and breaking the silence first: "Master, we are passing by here with no intention of offending, we just want to disturb you all night. Tomorrow
will leave."
The old monk still didn't speak. He just opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Song Yu and Xie Nanshi. Then he picked up the wooden fish and walked towards the two of them step by step.
Song Yu has always been clear about his position. After seeing the old monk getting up, he quickly found a position and hid on the right side of Jie Nanshi. There was a wall on the other side of him. If a battle really broke out, he would be able to find it easily.
cover body.
However, Song Yu's worries were obviously a little early. The old monk passed the two of them without looking sideways and walked directly to the door of the courtyard.
"Master." Xie Nanshi also called out.
The old monk remained unmoved. The old monk's shoes crossed the threshold and before they even hit the ground, they turned into specks of light. His feet, his body, and his compassionate gaze were all extinguished in the night.
Song Yu looked at this scene in surprise. He turned around and found that Xie Nanshi's expression was also surprised. "You haven't seen this kind of situation before?" He thought it was just that he hadn't had time to show it in the main plot of the game.
"I thought you knew." Song Yu was already a model of weirdness in Xie Nanshi's mind, but this old monk seemed even more strange. He had just quietly placed a talisman on the old monk's body.
, but the feedback result is indeed in the void.
"Let's go in first." Since everyone doesn't know, it's a waste of time to stand here. Just now, the nerves were tense and he didn't feel anything. Now Song Yu felt that his whole body was sore. He had walked through mountains and rivers today.
Jie Nanshi withdrew his gaze and followed Song Yu towards the temple. He just silently performed a few formations with his hands behind his back, and there was a flicker of light all around the courtyard.
After all, the formation is not a serious formation, and it has no protective effect, but it is enough to serve as a warning.
Song Yu could not wait to open the temple door.
This temple is even more dilapidated than Song Yu imagined. The wooden door at the entrance has signs of decay, and it makes a creaking sound when it is pushed open. It is a miracle that it has not collapsed yet.
Song Yu was choked by the ashes in front of him and coughed. He covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves and asked angrily: "Are we staying here tonight?"
Xie Nanshi didn't answer, and walked directly into the temple. There was a statue of Guanyin as tall as a human being enshrined in the temple. There were two tattered futons in front of the statue, and there were spider webs crawling in the corners. Other than that, it was empty.
There is nothing left.
With the lessons learned from Qinghe Town, Xie Nanshi also focused on the clay statue. It was very simple and ordinary, the kind of statue commonly used by the people.
In addition, a place that was too dirty in Song Yu's eyes was unexpectedly "clean" in Jie Nanshi's eyes. Just like the courtyard outside, there was no life or evil. It seemed like an isolated place outside.
He walked up to one of the futons, pinched a duster, and then sat cross-legged on it to meditate.
Song Yu:......
He has never tried to spend the night in such a place, and he always feels a bit desolate. Moreover, he thought that someone as immortal as Jie Nanshi must be a germophobe. After all, he is meticulous about his daily diet and daily life, even if he has to crack a melon seed.
First, I smashed all the melon seed shells, and the melon seed kernels were neatly placed aside, so Yuan Fang stole them several times...
Well, that's not the point. The point is that he has no way of spending the entire night meditating like Xie Nanshi.
Asking Xie Nanshi to clean up with him was an impossible ambition. Song Yu accepted his fate and took out water and a towel from the space, briefly cleaned the floor and hanging spider webs, and wiped the remaining futon clean.
The ground here was also made of flat soil. Song Yu even took out a mop and wiped it briefly.
"Huh?" There was a very dark color on the ground. Song Yu wiped it vigorously several times and the color was still there. He paused and took a closer look with the only remaining sunlight. How could this color... look like blood?
