The East Temple is located in the east of Jiangzhou City, ten miles away from the city. There is a Samantabhadra Temple. Originally, only some worshipers came to burn incense and pray for peace. On the 21st day of the second lunar month every year, a large number of believers came to the temple.
Burning incense in the temple gradually evolved into a temple fair, and then the annual temple fair became more and more lively. Some ordinary people, wealthy businessmen, and dignitaries would also come here.
The temple fair became so famous that even the people of Hanyang City would set off early and come to the market early.
On the way here, Su Nianxue was still very interested. While introducing the history and culture of the temple fair, she also introduced the customs and customs along the way.
When Jiang Hao and his two daughters arrived, they were already a little late. At this time, there was already a sea of people outside Puxian Temple.
Various stalls and vendors display a dazzling array of products, and some craftsmen are displaying paper-cutting and dough-making figures.
The most lively thing was the candy blower and the candy painting booth. A group of children lingered in front of the booth, greedy.
"Jiang Lang, this must be your first time coming to this temple fair. I used to come with my father, but this year..."
Su Nianxue thought about how she used to hold her father's arm while visiting temple fairs, but now they were separated forever, and she felt a little sad for a moment.
Jiang Hao knew that Su Nianxue had not yet come out of her grief. He thought that going out for fun this time would be a way to relax, but he did not expect that when he saw the familiar temple fair, Nianxue still remembered the scene of visiting the temple fair with his father.
.
"Nianxue, the deceased has passed away, and the living should live well. Don't think about sad things today. Let's go there and have a look. It's so lively there!"
There was juggling going on at the place Jiang Hao pointed to. It looked interesting. Jiang Hao took Su Nianxue's hand and pushed forward.
It’s just because there are so many people in front of us. It’s a sea of people. If you don’t hold on tight, you might get lost.
"Miss, uncle, please wait for me!"
Xiaoyu followed behind and squeezed forward desperately, trying to keep up with them.
"Nianxue, look, there's also candied haws here. Boss, how much does it cost?"
Jiang Hao took Nianxue to eat and shop together. Gradually, Su Nianxue's mood improved a lot.
Jiang Hao has never really been to a temple fair in his whole life. Temple fairs in real life have lost their charm, and there is nothing as authentic as the temple fairs in games today.
The three of them ate, played, walked and watched together, feeling very uncomfortable.
However, Jiang Hao always felt that there were eyes in the dark watching him and others, and he knew it was the killer of the Shadow Tower without having to guess, and he couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart.
Su Nianxue was thoughtful and could see at a glance that Jiang Hao was a little absent-minded.
"Jiang Lang, what's wrong with you?"
"We may be being followed. From the moment I watched the shadow puppets, I always felt like there were a pair of eyes watching us."
"Ah? Then let's go back!"
Su Nianxue was a little surprised and a little worried.
"Don't be nervous. You pretend you don't know. Don't alert the enemy first. Let's take it one step at a time. They may not dare to blatantly do so during the day," Jiang Hao comforted.
Now that the enemy is hidden and we are clear, Jiang Hao can only pretend to be nonchalant and continue strolling with the two girls, but his mind is completely focused on the observations of the people around him.
Jiang Hao has the Detection Technique, but using the Detection Technique consumes energy. Frequent use will make people mentally exhausted. There are too many people at the temple fair. It is obviously unrealistic to use it just when you see someone. You can only find those who act suspiciously.
People, targeted use of probing techniques is currently Jiang Hao's only option.
Jiang Hao sometimes deliberately takes his children to play at stalls with relatively few people, and deliberately walks a little faster to observe who is following him.
However, the other party's tracking skills are obviously not something that a rookie like Jiang Hao can easily identify. Every time he feels that someone is observing him from behind, he looks out of the corner of his eye and never finds anything unusual.
Occasionally there are abnormalities, but nothing is found even after using probing techniques.
"Is there something wrong with my feelings?"
Jiang Hao couldn't help but wonder if he was a little nervous. After all, he always subconsciously believed that the killer from the Shadow Tower would come to find him.
"No, we can't take risks. Let's send them to the county government first. With them by their side, Jiang Hao is still a little worried. If there is a fight, Jiang Hao may not be able to take good care of them. He originally thought that the other party would be able to take care of them during the day.
I don’t dare to make any moves, but judging from the current situation, the other party is confident.”
Although this is a game, NPCs are dead when they die and cannot be resurrected.
There may be resurrection items, but at least Jiang Hao hasn't had access to them yet.
"Nianxue, Xiaoyu, let's go back first. I'm always a little uneasy. Something might happen. I'm worried that I won't be able to take care of you by then."
"Well, let's go back. Anyway, we come here to play every year and we're tired of it, so let's go back!"
Su Nianxue was very considerate and listened to whatever Jiang Hao said. On the contrary, Jiang Hao suddenly felt that he owed her a little. He agreed to take her to have fun, but ended up being late in the morning and leaving early in the afternoon. Obviously, he was not able to enjoy the game to the fullest.
In order not to make Jiang Hao too entangled, Su Nianxue took the initiative to say that she was tired of playing.
"Then let's go. When we're not busy anymore, we'll go to Hanyang."
"Um!"
Jiang Hao and his party of three walked back against the flow of people.
The common people were all walking inside to go to the temple fair to offer incense. After offering incense, they would stroll inside and play. Only Jiang Hao and the others were walking back.
This move made Jiang Hao immediately notice something unusual. The other party wanted to follow Jiang Hao, so they had to go in the opposite direction. This was sudden and Jiang Hao noticed it instantly.
"Huh! It finally appeared!"
It's easier to deal with when a suspicious person is discovered. At this time, the other party doesn't know that he has been discovered.
"Detection Technique!"
Character: Xing Li (Ghost Sword)
Identity: Shadow Tower Killer
Level:lv.11
Qi and blood:390/390
Combat power:160~619
Realm: Eighth Grade
...
"Sure enough, they are the killers from the Shadow Tower. It seems they really can't wait any longer." After seeing the results of the investigation, Jiang Hao knew in his heart that he was right, this was definitely looking for trouble for him.
There are two weak women who don't know martial arts around, so it's a bit difficult to handle, Jiang Hao thought with some worry.
And there might have been more than one person, otherwise Shi Bu wouldn't have been killed without any resistance.
It seems that the only option is to strike first.
Jiang Hao silently thought about how to make a sneak attack. He could only solve one by surprise and as quickly as possible. If the other party was alone, it would be fine. If there were two people, he could still take care of Nian Xue and the others. If there were more than two, Jiang Hao would
Hao really has no choice.
It is obviously impossible to defeat a ninth-grade player against two eighth-grade players.
The only good news is that so far, he has only found this person, which made Jiang Hao slightly relieved. Maybe he was worrying too much, and it would be easier to handle it alone.
At this time, Ghost Sword Xing Li, of course, didn't know that Jiang Hao had seen through his disguise. As a killer, he was most confident in his disguise skills. At this time, pretending to be an ordinary person, it really looked like that.
