The old woman in the mountain and the scholars were walking slowly, laughing and chatting happily.
Yuan Hua softly mentioned to the girl who was obviously absent-minded, "Huayin, some people don't help much, so you don't have to help them. Kindness can be there, but it can't be too overwhelming, otherwise it will harm others and yourself."
The delicate girl nodded slightly, and said softly: "Got it."
Wang Weiping bit his lip, lowered his head slightly, and remained silent.
Yajing girl didn't speak much on the road to Beiyiyi, even if Yuan Hua spoke to her, she just responded with a few casual sentences.
The sword-wielding scholar naturally had fewer words, but sometimes he would cast a slight glance at the old woman, but there was nothing strange about it.
The few people walked slowly for half an hour, and then saw the mountain temple at night.
Candles were lit outside the temple, and it looked bright. Although the temple gate was a bit dilapidated, it looked clean, and it seemed that someone cleaned it frequently.
It seems that this mountain temple is often visited by people.
After a little scrutiny, most of Yuan Hua's doubts disappeared. It seemed that the old woman was not lying to them, and her vigilance naturally dissipated.
The old woman turned her head and smiled kindly at them, "Let's go in."
Leaning on crutches, she slowly opened the temple door and had a panoramic view inside.
The mountain temple is not big, and there is an unknown statue of the mountain god inside, and there are burning incense candles under it. It seems that there are still people who have come to worship the mountain god today.
Yuan Hua sized it up and said with a smile: "It seems that the mountain god here is very popular among the people, so there are constant offerings."
The old woman replied with a smile: "It should be so. The surrounding villagers say that the mountain god is good and well protected."
Yuan Hua nodded and expressed his own evaluation, "One side of the mountain god should be like this, just like us scholars and scholars, they should also contribute to the peace of the world."
Wang Weiping nodded in agreement, "It should be so!"
Peace in the world is what real scholars want!
The pretty girl just hooked her head and kept silent, still a little worried about the mute scholar in the pavilion.
I don't know if there will be accidents at night in the mountains.
As for what they said about the world being peaceful, the girl really didn't care, and she didn't think she should care.
She just thought that the people she cared about should be peaceful.
Several people closed the doors and windows in the mountain temple, and after the wind was blocked, the mountain temple became warmer.
Because there are candles in the temple, it is considered bright, and the few people are not sleepy, and they are laughing and talking about the general situation of the world, as if they have the ability to play a pivotal role in the world at this time.
Outside the mountain temple, the night became more and more intense.
Chen Jiu carried a big basket on his back, ate fruits, and walked along the road in a leisurely manner.
The direction he was walking was exactly the direction in which the few people left just now.
The reason why I went this way was just to mention the girl's sentence.
Sometimes a little kindness given to others will be rewarded unexpectedly.
That's it now.
Chen Jiu followed a few people, and only wanted peace of mind.
If nothing happened, but I was suspicious, that would be the best, I could pat my ass and leave.
If something happens, try to help, anyway, I won't die, my head will have a big scar, and it will only hurt for a while at most.
This little girl is very nice, if it hurts, it hurts.
Although Chen Jiu is afraid of pain, he would rather seek peace of mind than pain.
The more he walked in, the more Chen Jiu felt something was wrong.
He has been wandering the mountain roads for the past few days. Although there are not many pedestrians, there are some, but he has never seen one who is going to offer incense to the mountain temple.
The night was so thick that the mountain road could not be seen clearly.
Chen Jiu speeded up his pace along the road, and there was no one around. He speeded up again, and searched for the mountain temple along the mountain road.
After running for about half an hour, there was still no trace of the mountain temple around.
Chen Jiu was puzzled. If according to what the old woman said, the mountain temple is not far away, then it shouldn't be so far away.
He stopped suddenly, turned around, and looked towards the deep mountain in the mountain road.
He was on the wrong track.
At this point, Chen Jiu felt that there must be something wrong with the old woman.
—————
The candlelight in the mountain temple was still there, and several people had already fallen asleep, leaving Wang Weiping to watch the night.
Wang Weiping sat in the temple, looking at the sage books, from time to time he glanced at the sleeping face of the pretty girl, and then hurriedly turned back to continue reading the sage books.
It's just that at this moment, the book of sages is full of girls sleeping.
Wang Weiping couldn't see it anymore, he just felt dizzy in his wild thoughts.
After a while, he fell into a deep sleep.
After a while, nothing happened.
The candle is still burning quietly.
The old woman got up slowly, looked at the mountain god statue in awe, then turned to look at several people, and chose the most tender and pretty girl.
When the old woman walked to the side of the charming girl, her face had changed into that of an old cat.
It turned out to be a cat woman.
In "Strange Landscapes", the low-level monsters in the mountains confuse passers-by. They have spells to stun passers-by. They like to absorb human spirits, and their killing power is average, but their enchantment is very powerful. road.
Mao Rongpo was facing the girl, her vertical pupils looked at the girl sullenly, her head was bent down, facing the girl's acupoints, and she was about to open her mouth to suck.
The temple door was suddenly knocked open.
A group of big men with knives came in slowly, laughing and cursing.
"This dilapidated place, why are there more Chushan temples?"
"Boss, can't there be some evil spirit again?"
"Haha, so what, chop it up!"
As soon as the few people finished speaking, they saw the cat Rong Po.
The big black man holding a long knife in the lead smiled strangely: "Hey, I can still meet a cat Rongpo in this place. This thing is not common, so I caught it back."
Then the big man reminded again: "Boss, there are still some scholars."
The dark man scolded with a smile, "I'm not blind, you don't need to tell me, most of these scholars were stunned by the cat Rongpo, those two young ladies are good, take them back to the cave, the remaining few scholars look If no one comes to redeem, if there are a few poor ghosts, they will be chopped off with one knife."
In the conversation between the two, it has been decided whether Mao Rong Po and the scholar will stay or not.
Mao Rongpo stared at the dark man with vertical eyes, her face was ferocious, and with a "hiss" roar from her throat, she said ruthlessly.
"Little bandit, don't be too arrogant!"
This dark and big man is the bandit who robbed along the mountain road recently. His name is Zhang Jia. He used to be the commander of the army, but he was rebellious and violated military discipline repeatedly. Some army ruffians formed bandits and robbed along the way.
Although Zhang Jia is rebellious, he is powerful in the army. It is said that he was born with supernatural power.
Therefore, even if Zhang Jia became a bandit who caused the disaster, the general officials still couldn't help him, and they rushed to arrest him, but they lost their lives in vain.
These few days of hiding in the mountains was just to avoid the limelight because they were afraid that some monks in Qingfeng City would come to wipe them out.
I didn't expect that I could pick up a bunch of fat sheep for nothing when I came out to let the wind out tonight.
Zhang Jia grinned happily.
This fate is coming, and it is really unstoppable.
He raised his knife and walked slowly towards Mao Rongpo, and smiled, "Will you kneel obediently by yourself, or I will hack you to death with a single knife."
Mao Rongpo's face was ferocious, she had no fear at all, she turned her head to look at the mountain god statue, and suddenly shouted: "Master Temple Ghost, save me!"
The statue of the mountain god suddenly shook violently, and a thick black air lingered on it. After a while, the statue opened its eyes, and it was blood red!
It has a long mouth, revealing the sharp fangs hidden in it, making a strange laugh.
"Today's dinner is sumptuous."
The swarthy man spared his head and looked at the temple ghost with a solemn expression, but he still laughed and said, "Damn it, there were so many twists and turns tonight, it seems that I have to kill a temple ghost today!"
The temple ghost tilted his head like a human, and said with a smile: "In my stomach, will it turn into flesh and blood and chop me?"
Zhang Jia grinned loudly, afterward the big man was afraid, seeing that the leader was so fearless, he was not afraid, he held the knife to face the temple ghost.
Mao Rongpo suddenly turned her head.
The scholars in the temple who were stunned were awakened by such a big movement.
The sword-wielding scholar was the first to wake up, got up in an instant, first glanced at Mao Rongpo, then at Zhang Jia and the temple ghost, his expression extremely serious.
The rest of the people woke up slowly, looking at the scene here, a little at a loss.
Wang Weiping looked at Mao Rongmao, and said in a voiceless voice: "Old woman?!"
Mao Rongpo looked gloomy and did not answer.
Zhang Jia laughed and said: "It seems that this group of stupid scholars was deceived by this cat Rongmao."
The pretty girl's complexion was already pale, and her body was trembling when she saw the scene of monsters gathered in front of her.
Yuan Hua looked gloomy.
The Yajing woman was wearing a veil, so she couldn't see her complexion clearly.
The three parties are on the verge of breaking out.
The temple door was suddenly pushed open again.
Slowly poking a head in, he took a look at Sanfang.
Chen Jiu laughed and said, "Hey, everyone is very lively."
