The temple where the Toad Immortal put down Jin'an and the old Taoist priest is quite large.
There is a stone bird standing on the roof of the temple, which emits divine light in the dark night and protects a pure land.
It was a graceful and graceful figure like a woman, with one of its wings broken off. The stone carving had long been faded and was in dilapidated state. On this ruins of silence, there was a unique feeling of "the luan saw its form and screamed in sorrow, ringing in the sky".
A sense of poignancy.
“It is said that the sacred bird Qingluan is the sacred bird raised by the Queen Mother of the West. It seems that the statue enshrined in this temple should be the statue of the goddess.”
“There is also a sad story in the legend that there is only one Qingluan in the world, and it spends its whole life searching for love alone.”
The old Taoist priest raised his head and glanced at the broken-winged sacred bird on the roof of the temple, his eyes filled with sadness... His thoughts began to drift away.
Jin An, who was dressed in jewels, walked in front carrying a peach tree. He did not expect that there was anyone else in the temple. When he walked into the temple carrying a large peach tree and met several pairs of eyes, his eyes blinked.
Blink, the air was once very awkward.
Before Jin An and the old Taoist priest arrived, a total of three people stayed overnight in the temple to take shelter from the rain. It had been more than ten days since everyone had been sucked into the ruins by the spiritual mist, and they had already figured out the rules of survival in the ruins.
The dark night in the ruins is full of dangers, with countless ghosts and dead people wandering around. No one dares to leave the temple in the dark night. At least as far as I know, no one can survive outside the temple in the dark.
Therefore, when they heard the footsteps outside the temple, they mistakenly thought that the divinity of the temple had disappeared, that evil spirits had invaded the temple, and that a disaster was imminent. They had just mustered up all their courage and prepared to fight to the death with the evil spirits outside, but they saw their fingers, neck
, with more than a dozen divine treasures on his waist, Jin An, dressed in jewels, entered the temple!
Especially when I have a big peach tree on my shoulders, and the peach tree is still full of fresh pink peaches!
The whole group was stunned.
The momentum that just now was still fierce and fierce, and the fight to the death with Yin Shui, suddenly fell away, and only the air was left, which was very embarrassing for a while.
The eyes blink and blink.
Keep blinking and blinking.
The old Taoist priest who entered the temple a few steps behind broke the awkward atmosphere in the temple: "Little brother, what are you doing blocking the entrance of the temple and not going in?"
“Is it possible that there are no goddess statues in this temple, only man-eating female fairies?”
Because Jin An was carrying a peach tree on his shoulder, and the huge tree crown blocked the entrance of the temple, the old Taoist priest could not enter the temple. Therefore, a familiar human head poked out from behind the crown of the peach tree blocking the entrance of the temple.
“!”
The peach tree becomes a spirit! A thousand-year-old grandma’s head is drilled out!
The three in the temple were scared by the head that suddenly drilled out after the crown, and Nima almost kneeling.
“Come, who is coming...? Is he dead or alive?”
After being frightened, a person in the village plucked up the courage and asked with trembling fear.
Jin An was amused by these people: "Nonsense, they must be living people."
“If we were dead people and you were still standing intact, you would have been frightened to death.”
Jin An was walking to the temple carrying the peach tree. At this time, the old Taoist priest also followed him into the temple. The three people saw that the old Taoist priest also had hands and feet, and was not some thousand-year-old peach tree spirit. Then they believed that the old Taoist priest was flesh and blood.
Everyone who was alive breathed a sigh of relief.
After confirming that the two people who entered the temple in the dark night were both living people, the three of them looked at each other and saw the solemn eyes of their teammates. They could travel safely in the dark night of Cave Heaven Paradise. The old man and the young man in front of them were definitely masters.
Then they looked at the peach tree that Jin An was carrying on his shoulders. Hey, the three of them felt that their back teeth were so painful.
So many peaches, so much food to satisfy my hunger, my eyes were wide open again.
We are all human beings, so why is there such a huge gap between the rich and the poor in Dongtian Paradise?
…
After traveling all night, although the whole journey was by boat, the bumpy water along the way was very tiring. Jin An broke off two peaches from the peach tree and threw the other peach to the old Taoist priest. The two of them chatted as if no one was watching.
Eat it.
It will be dawn soon.
Hurry up and eat a peach to replenish your strength.
After daybreak, we have to continue on the road to look for sharp swords.
Gululu
There were sounds of hunger in the temple, coming from the two men and one woman. They eagerly looked at the pink peaches in the hands of Jin An and the old Taoist priest, and then looked at the uprooted peach tree in Jin An, and their stomachs twitched with hunger.
Although they were also lucky enough to find a fruit tree in the ruins.
But if three people share one point, there won’t be much left.
That was not only their few remaining rations, but also the only source of water for their bodies. They ate only one piece of fruit a day, unlike Jin An, who wandered around the ruins carrying a peach tree.
“Um...are the fairy peaches in this paradise of cave delicious? What do they taste like?”
The three of them looked at Jin An pitifully.
Jin An thought for a while: "The meat is soft and juicy, sour and sweet, which is quite good and appetizing. It can also beautify the skin, clear the stomach, moisturize the lungs, and eliminate phlegm. The most amazing thing is that it can replenish physical strength as quickly as possible and keep the body warm.
, not afraid of evil wind entering the body.”
The three of them could not remain calm.
The description was so detailed that their stomachs were already growling with hunger, but now they were even hungrier and screamed louder.
Jin An saw that the three of them were quite pitiful. It had only been ten days since they entered the ruins, and they were all starving and thin. It seemed that they had endured a lot of hardships. Not to mention the fate of immortality, it was surprisingly effective for girls to lose weight.
.
He looked at the chaste and fierce woman whose cheeks were so hungry that they had turned into awls, and who did not deliberately lower her collar to seduce him. He thought about it, took the peach and said, "Want to eat?"
The woman nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Jin An said generously: "After you leave the temple, walk back. If you walk quickly, you will see a forest in about six or seven days. There are many peach trees in the forest. Let me remind you, there are male monkeys in the forest.
I lead a group of female monkeys to slap the peach trees and steal the peaches very quickly. I guess they hate humans now."
«
“Go back for six…six or seven days?”
The woman was confused.
The other two people also looked dazed and hissed. They took a breath of cold air. Their back teeth were so cold and painful.
They were frugal along the way and managed to get deep into the ruins for so many days. Now someone told them that they have gone too far and have to go back for six or seven days.
“Too far.”
“If we have to go back six or seven days, wouldn’t it mean that all our previous efforts will be in vain and all our previous achievements will be wasted?”
“We would rather continue to move forward hungry. As long as we follow the senior Ziqi, we may be lucky enough to find some fruit to satisfy our hunger.”
The three of them spoke to each other one by one, and then looked at Jin An pitifully.
In fact, this does not mean that the cultivation level of the three people in front of them is better than that of Jin An, and they travel faster than Jin An. They all entered the Cave Heaven Paradise on the same day, but they traveled six or seven days faster than Jin An and the old Taoist priest.
After these people were swept into the Cave Heaven Paradise by the spiritual mist, they all randomly appeared in various temples.
Some people are deep in the secret realm as soon as they appear.
Some people are on the periphery.
Just like Jin An's luck is not that good. He has the worst luck and randomly appears in the outermost temple.
Jin An was happy when he saw the pitiful looks of the three of them: "You are pretending to be so pitiful, are you just prostitutes for free? Do you think I will share your food?"
“It is better to teach someone to fish than to teach someone to fish. As a person, you must be down-to-earth. What you earn through hard work with your own hands will always belong to you.”
"I have given you the fishing net. Whether you can catch fish to fill your stomach is not my business."
"Don't try your best to kidnap me morally or seduce me. I'm a stone-hearted person who kills without blinking an eye. I won't do that." Jin An refused righteously.
Woman: “?”
“The prodigal son!”
“Luxury!”
Jin An taught people how to fish with good intentions, but he got scolded for no reason.
Poof, the old Taoist priest couldn't hold it in anymore when he saw that Jin An was exhausted.
Jin An glanced at the old Taoist priest and said, "Old Taoist, don't talk when you are eating. You will fart easily."
The old Taoist priest who had not finished eating the peach in his hand suddenly turned dark: "..."
The two men saw that their companion had scolded Jin An and the atmosphere was tense, so they changed the subject. They deliberately stopped looking at the fruitful peach tree. They bowed solemnly to Jin An and the old Taoist priest and asked them curious questions.
How do you manage to travel in the dark?
Jin An answered truthfully: "We came by boat."
Three people: "?"
The woman hesitated for a while, then asked Jin An and the old Taoist priest: "Both of you are experts. I wonder if you met a big man named Ma or Ma Muyuan on the way here?"
“He is burly, tall, and speaks with a Northern accent...”
The woman describes her appearance.
“Who are you, Ma Muyuan?” Jin An glanced at the woman.
The woman heard something strange in Jin An's voice, and she said anxiously: "We are all from the Ma family, the exorcist family in the North. This time, two of us entered the Cave Heaven Paradise to open. Have you seen me, Master?"
A descendant of the Ma family?"
Jin An sighed and told her truthfully that Ma Muyuan was dead and asked her to express her condolences. She said that Ma Muyuan died in a sneak attack from behind by a native master. When he escaped from the siege and returned to the temple, he could not find the native master.
The Master's gang and the corpse.
It must have been thrown into the rain, and no bones were left.
Jin An only said that Ma Muyuan died in the hands of Tufuzi, and did not mention Tianshi Mansion and Prince Xiao Ling because among the people present, only the woman came from the Ma family, a family of exorcists in the North, and the other two
He was a temporary ally of the Ma family woman on the road, so he planned to tell the woman the truth alone, and did not want to involve the other two people in the feud between the Ma family and the Tianshi Mansion.
The three people in front of him are not that kind of treacherous people, so Jin An doesn't want to harm them.
Tianshi Mansion is a huge thing.
Only the Ma family, a family of exorcists in the North, can withstand the influence of the Tianshi Mansion.
Jin An stood up and waved to the Ma family woman with a solemn expression: "Miss Ma, please come with me alone. I have something to say to you alone."
…
After about a while, when the woman followed Jin An and walked back from the side hall of the temple, the woman followed Jin An with a bad look on her face.
At this time, the sky outside the temple has also brightened.
Those sounds that lingered in the night have all disappeared, and the peace and security of the day have been restored.
Jin An took the old Taoist priest with him and planned to continue on the road in search of sharp swords. However, before leaving, Jin An picked half of the peaches from the peach tree and left them with Ma Yerong, allowing her to dispose of the peaches as she pleased.
Ma Yerong is the name of the daughter of the Ma family.
Jin An also just learned her name.
The two men who had temporarily formed an alliance with Ma Yerong looked at Jin An and then at Ma Yerong without saying a word.
Seriously speaking, it was Ma Muyuan first, and then Jin'an could find those hungry persimmons and that magical stone bow.
So this is what he owes Ma Muyuan.
Since Ma Muyuan is dead, Jin'an naturally wants to return this karma to the Ma family in Beidi.
He Jin'an does not want to owe any favors.
Compared with Shi Gong, he still has the advantage of half the peach.
“Sir, I don’t know what to call you yet?” Ma Yerong shouted towards the back of the tree-carrying figure leaving the temple.
Jin An raised his hand and waved it behind him, waving his sleeves without taking away a single cloud.
In the rain curtain, the figures of Jin An and the old Taoist priest gradually moved away.
…
“Little brother, what did you say to Miss Ma just now?” the old Taoist priest asked Jin An curiously on the rainy road.
Jin An expressed his inner concerns. He could only tell the Ma Muyuan's real cause of death alone to the Ma family.
The old Taoist priest nodded and said that is so.
“Old Taoist, you just trust me so much?” Jin An felt warm in his heart when he saw that the old Taoist trusted him so much.
The old Taoist priest holding a plaque above his head looked at Jin An strangely: "What, little brother, do you want me to suspect that you have something to do with Miss Ma?"
“Little brother, are you a young child? I can tell by looking at your face, and your face can’t deceive you.”
The old Taoist priest teased Jin'an.
Jin An, who had been touched and warmed just now, suddenly became angry and wanted to beat the old Taoist priest.
“Old Taoist, I saw you holding the plaque and mumbling along the way. What are you mumbling about?” Jin An glared at the talkative old Taoist priest, and then changed his words.
Ever since boarding the boat last night, Jin An noticed that the old Taoist priest was mumbling along the way.
Just because there were people there before, he didn't ask the old Taoist priest. He didn't ask the old Taoist priest until now when they were the only two left.
The old Taoist priest said mysteriously: "Little brother, this plaque is amazing. I have just discovered that it can bring good luck to people and make people's wishes come true. Do you know why I can find Linzi, Taozi?"
