Chapter 370: The Little God of the Temple Asks for Marriage
Without saying anything, I quickly popped out a pinch of cinnabar from my fingertips and hit Sister Mei on the back of her heart. Sister Mei immediately screamed, her soul fell forward and fell to the ground. When she stood up again, she didn't dare to move.
.
She shrank back, changed from her carefree demeanor at night, stared at me viciously with her eyes, and said:
"You are a mage..."
I didn't answer, just looked at her steadily.
Sister Mei straightened up a little and moved closer to the window, because there was moonlight there, and the moon was yin, which could make her soul feel better.
"Since you are a mage, you should know that you cannot capture the souls of living people at will. If you do this, aren't you afraid that people under the law will violate the laws of the underworld and come to take you?!"
I nodded and smiled.
"Sister Mei, you are indeed no ordinary person, but don't worry..."
As I said that, I took out a blank magic talisman from my backpack, waved it in front of her, and then said:
"I can write down your shameful act of colluding with zombies to harm the people of Luoshui Town on this talisman. Once burned, this talisman will go directly to the judge. You said that the underworld will still blame me.
To keep people’s souls alive?!”
Sister Mei looked at me with wide eyes and shouted:
"You fart!!! When did I collude with zombies to harm the people of Luoshui Town? Don't slander me!"
My face turned cold, I threw out a red thread and wrapped it around her neck, pulled her in front of me, and said word by word:
"Then tell me, where did those bronze-armored corpses come from?! Why do they appear in your shop?!"
Just as Sister Mei was about to speak, something suddenly occurred to her and she asked:
"Where are those bronze armored corpses?"
"Already killed." I shrugged and said.
"Killed?!"
Sister Mei looked at me in surprise, her face full of disbelief...
"Stop talking nonsense! Tell me what's going on?" I urged.
Sister Mei hesitated for a moment, lowered her head, and finally said:
"Actually, I don't know where these bronze armored corpses came from. They suddenly appeared one night about half a month ago. The strange thing is that they only attack women, and they are all untouched girls.
Five or six girls like this have died in more than half a month..."
"How do you know so clearly?" I asked puzzled.
"My father was a practicing magician in the private sector during his lifetime. I have been familiar with it since I was a child. Although Luoshui Town is a town, it is actually not big. There are only a few streets. If a person dies on the east street, it will take less than a day for someone to die on the west street.
, not to mention so many people died in a row..."
"I was suspicious at that time, so I checked it secretly. After I learned that it was the bronze armored corpse, I didn't dare to take care of it. After all, the bronze armored corpse was difficult to deal with, and I... couldn't handle it..."
Sister Mei said it very sincerely, and it didn't look like she was lying.
"You told us at night that if that girl was still alive, something would come to us. What do you mean?"
"Because the girls who died before were not directly bitten to death, but were only bitten until they were half dead, and then they were allowed to slowly die in pain. If they were lucky enough to survive, the group of bronze-armored corpses would not let her go."
"Is there such a thing?"
I have doubts in my heart. Those bronze-armored corpses will definitely not do this for no reason. So what is the reason?
"Great... Archmage, I have told you everything I know. You can send me back. I am afraid I won't be able to bear it if I leave my body for too long..."
Sister Mei showed a begging look.
I took a deep breath and was about to send her back. At this moment, she seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said:
"By the way, Archmage, although I don't know where these bronze-armored corpses come from, I think it must have something to do with Jiangjun Mountain to the north!"
"Jiangjun Mountain..."
I repeated that it must be the mountain where Yu Xian and I are going tomorrow, but I didn’t say anything more. After letting go of the red thread in my hand, Sister Mei’s soul hurriedly walked out of the door and floated away...
Lying on the bed, I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so I took out my mobile phone and checked the local tourist information, but I didn't find Jiangjun Mountain, but I found a Jiangjun Temple...
Early the next morning, I knocked on the door of Yu Xian's room. When I opened the door, I saw the girl from last night sitting on a chair and eating ravenously. It seemed that she was recovering well, and I was relieved.
.
"I went out to buy some breakfast this morning. You can eat it while it's hot." Yu Xian pointed to the soy milk and fried dough sticks on the table.
"she…"
Before I finished speaking, Yu Xian shook his head and said:
"I've already asked, but there are no valuable clues. She can't even remember how she was injured, but one thing is that she went to a temple at the foot of General Mountain once before..."
"Jiangjun Temple?" I blurted out after taking a sip of soy milk.
"Do you know the General Temple?"
"I just checked it on my phone, but I heard that the temple was abandoned. Why would she go to an abandoned temple?"
After asking this question, I turned to stare at the girl, hoping to get her answer.
After the girl put the rice in her mouth into her stomach, she wiped her mouth with her hands and said timidly:
"It's...it's to seek marriage..."
"What?! Go to the General Temple to seek marriage?"
Yu Xian and I looked at each other, this was so ridiculous.
"Actually, I don't really believe it. It's just that this is passed down from the older generation. They say that the General Temple once housed an extremely brave general who once commanded hundreds of thousands of troops. All of them were brave warriors.
, as long as any girl reaches the age and still can’t find a suitable husband, she can go to Jiangjun Temple to ask for him..."
"If he is sincere, the general will give this girl a man as brave as his men..."
"Well…"
I was speechless. There are so many little gods in this temple, and there are all kinds of customs. The sad thing is that some people still believe in it. However, I thought this General Temple was a bit strange, so I asked pretending to be happy.
:
"Is it really so magical? Then what do you need to prepare if you want to seek marriage?"
The girl put down her bowl and chopsticks and looked at me suspiciously,
"You are a grown man..."
I waved my hand, pointed at Yu Xian beside me and said:
