"Fire-proof and anti-theft, safe and sound all night long!"
"Bang bang! Bang! Bang!"
After hearing all this sound, several people breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out to be the watchman!
However, the sound was slow and fast, indicating that it was already the fourth watch.
For the update sound.
Beating three times in a row, one slowly and one quickly, is the end of the watch, which means it is night.
One sound followed by another, repeated several times in a row, is the second update.
The third watch is one slow and two fast, the fourth watch is one slow and three fast, and the fifth watch is one slow and four fast.
So just listening to the sound of the watchman knocking the bamboo clapper is enough to know the time.
They didn't realize they did anything when they came to Kureiyuan, but they spent so much time there without even realizing it.
But as soon as I changed my mind, my heart became excited again.
Kurongyuan has been abandoned for many years, and there are not many people nearby. Why do people come here on duty?
The three of them are all well-educated and not timid, and they are not surprised by any monsters or monsters.
It was just that they had just experienced Jiang Wang's strange danger, which inevitably made them a little wary.
Several people looked at each other.
Fourteen, wearing a negative Yue Jia, walked in front silently.
Jiang Wang's hand was on his sword, and he and Zhong Xuansheng followed each other, naturally forming a formation of three talents. This was a tacit understanding born on the battlefield.
As mentioned before, outside the ruins of Kurei-in, there is a pool of stagnant water. It is said that it was a large hole left after uprooting the mountain and melting the Buddha, and it was filled by rainwater.
Just after the three of them walked out of the ruins, they saw a slightly stooped man standing next to the pool of stagnant water with his back to them. He was wearing a worn-out leather hat, wrapped in a tattered jacket, and carrying a
A lantern made of white paper hangs above the pool.
Fourteen was wearing heavy armor and was ready to go without any special control. When he walked, he inevitably made the sound of the armor rubbing together.
"who?"
The man by the pool turned his head sharply. Under the pale light, he saw an aging face, his eyes were wide open, but there was no trace of expression. He was blind!
Dead water, blind man, white lantern...
But his hands hadn't stopped yet, and they were still banging the bamboo clapper.
"Bang bang! Bang! Bang!"
Fourth watch!
"Passers-by." Zhong Xuansheng said in a suppressed voice.
The rickety blind man stopped banging his clapper and said, "Don't bully me into being blind. I have a clear mind!"
No cultivation can be detected from him.
But as soon as these words came out, invisible pressure was felt by the three of them.
In Tongtian Palace, Jiang Yan's voice suddenly came out from the dark candle: "If I were you, I would escape from here as soon as possible and don't worry about anything!"
Jiang Yan's voice was very cautious.
Based on the speed at which the flame meteor exploded, he might indeed be able to escape faster than Chong Xuan Sheng and Shi Shi.
But Jiang Wang just held the hilt of the sword tightly and ignored Jiang Yan's suggestion: "I don't dare to deceive my husband, we are going back now."
The figure of the watchman remained motionless, and the white lantern seemed to be frozen in the air.
He just asked slowly: "Do you know where this is?"
Jiang Wang was indeed more sincere and easier to trust. Therefore, Chong Xuansheng also remained silent and allowed Jiang Wang to come forward to negotiate.
Jiang Wang thought for a while and replied: "The ruined temple is in ruins."
"Did you see anything?"
"What you see with your eyes are ruins. What you see with your heart is just a mental barrier!"
The watchman asked again: "Do you know the way home?"
"Remember clearly!"
What Jiang Wang said was indeed not half false.
The watchman paused for a moment and then said: "Be careful on the road and don't disturb your neighbors."
After saying that, he pulled the white paper lantern aside, as if to guide the three of them.
"Thank you, father-in-law." Jiang Wang said and walked past.
Chongxuan Sheng suddenly asked: "How can I hold up a white lantern during the watch? What does it look like to hold a memorial ceremony for?"
The watchman said: "Maybe the paint has peeled off. I am blind and cannot see."
Chong Xuansheng said: "Where does my father-in-law live? Later I will send someone to your door to touch up the paint for you."
The watchman raised the white lantern in front of his eyes, as if his blind eyes could vaguely perceive some colors of the world.
However, the light from the white lantern shone on his wrinkled face, making it look particularly strange.
He said slowly: "If you are sincere, you might as well go home with me and we'll make up for it now."
Zhong Xuansheng shrank back: "No need, it's more important for me to fight."
Without further words, the three of them left here seemingly casually, but in fact they were vigilant.
…
After walking far away, when I looked back, I could no longer see the light of the white lantern.
Chongxuan Shengcai said solemnly: "There are indeed weird things in Kurongyuan, otherwise there would be no need to arrange an unfathomable watchman here."
Watching the clock is just a very common occupation, but after all, you are eating royal food, and in a sense, you are also a member of the government.
And the people who call the clock are also divided into different levels.
As we all know, in addition to telling the time and reminding people to prevent fire and theft, the clock watch also has the function of exorcising ghosts.
When it comes to extraordinary things, of course an ordinary watchman cannot do this.
The watchman outside the ruins of Kureiyuan is probably the scariest one.
With the current strength of Jiang Wang and others, it is impossible to tell the difference.
What kind of secret is it that leads to the fact that so many years after Kureiyuan was razed, there are still such powerful watchmen patrolling it?
And why can it cause changes in the swastika and torture one's mind?
Of course Jiang Wang knew why Chong Xuansheng attached so much importance to this issue.
The "weirdness" in Kurongyuan is probably related to the changes in his father back then.
Jiang Wang asked in Tongtian Palace: "Do you know anything about the watchman just now?"
Jiang Yan reminded him to escape just now, so he must have some judgment.
However……
Mingzhu didn't move at all, and Jiang Yan didn't say a word.
Hehe, he's quite temperamental.
"We can only leave it for now." Jiang Wang said seriously.
If you don't have enough strength, everything you think about is useless.
Chong Xuan Sheng also nodded: "I know."
He asked: "I didn't have time to ask just now, what did you gain in Kurongyuan? I feel that your aura is more agile and your momentum is more stable."
"Life and death, glory and glory, life and death are a constant cycle. Kurongyuan must have been an amazing place back then." Jiang Wang said: "My Taoist heart has become firmer, and at the same time I have become aware of some of my own problems."
He had a clear understanding in his heart: "My life span is not perfect enough. This will be a barrier that will hinder my further cultivation."
After searching your heart and having a clear conscience.
While strengthening his Taoist heart, he also became aware of his own regrets.
Although there was a longevity elixir and a longevity fruit for the lifespan consumed by the White Bone Escape Technique in Maplewood City, it still could not be fully compensated.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why I was unable to reach my limit in Tongtian Realm at that time.
This is still the disadvantage of the lack of guidance from famous teachers. Many problems can only be discovered after hitting a wall. Even if you encounter a broken head and bleed, you may not be able to detect it. When Chong Xuan Sheng gave him the longevity fruit, he thought it would make up for his regrets. In fact,
Still a little worse.
Chong Xuansheng nodded and said: "If the problem can be discovered, it can be solved. If you need anything, please tell me at any time."
Fourteen, wearing heavy armor, walked silently on the long street.
…
The three of them quickly blended into the Linzi night.
And in the vast night behind them, a white paper lantern flashed past.
