During the time when Li Jun was sleeping, Yaya had obviously grown up. Her face was chubby, her arms and legs were like lotus roots, her eyes were sparkling, and her facial features were lively. She would definitely be a great beauty when she grows up.
Li Jun looked at Yaya again.
Resolutely turned around and walked towards the official road.
…
The official road was long, and the donkey's hooves made the sound of tapping on the official road. He San carried a dog on his back and a wooden basin. He walked slowly with his ears drooped.
When he thought that after he left, the charming concubines in the backyard would take advantage of others, He San felt bad.
After walking on the official road for a long time, I didn't see any people along the way. That's right, Jiuyuan County was destroyed, and business travel must have been affected.
"My lord."
He San sighed: "How long will we go if we go like this? Why don't we transform into a dragon and take you all the way to the East China Sea?"
Before Li Jun could say anything, Gou Da slapped the donkey on the head hard: "You're stupid. It's great that you're driving so fast, and you're not afraid of attracting the attention of the underworld. You're still walking honestly, and I didn't even complain about being tired. What do you have to complain about?"
"
He San looked respectful on the outside, but sneered in his heart. Damn it, you are so tired of riding on my back!
After walking for a while, an abandoned temple appeared in sight, located next to the official road. At the water source, a clear stream slowly flowed through.
I touched my stomach and felt a little hungry.
"Stay here tonight."
As the old saying goes, one person does not live in the temple, two people do not look at the well, and three people do not lift the tree.
Li Jun's cultivation level is quite high now. Although He San is wretched, his strength is higher than him. Most dogs can't catch him, so he naturally has no taboo about the deserted temple.
The temple door and walls are painted with vermilion paint. Over time, the vermilion paint has peeled off, giving it a mottled and old feel.
"Gah~"
Pushing open the awkward door, one can see that there are overgrown grasses, toads crawling in the moist grass, and clusters of peonies in bloom.
Li Jun frowned.
"Do you feel like something's wrong here?"
Gouda jumped down, his nose twitched, and he sniffed: "It's nothing, just a few earth-bound spirits and small mountain monsters. Their strength is low and they are not a problem."
Li Jun shook his head silently.
He San suddenly laughed strangely: "I understand, little one. There are peonies planted here. If you die under the peonies, you will be a ghost."
Li Jun: "..."
Li Jun glanced at He San speechlessly. Could this guy be an animal with lower body thinking?
"It's late autumn now, how could the peonies be blooming so luxuriantly?" When Li Jun saw the peonies for the first time, he thought they were bugs and was surprised. Could it be that he hadn't left the dream yet?
Or is it a ghostly fantasy?
So, he used his soul to check again. Although his current strength was not at the level of breaking the void, reality and illusion could still be clearly distinguished.
These peonies are not imaginary things, they are real peonies that bloom in late autumn. If anything goes wrong, there will be monsters.
The dog curled his lips.
"There's nothing wrong with the peonies. Don't think too much about it. Even if there's something wrong with them, we're not afraid. Our number one dog He Laosan is not a vegetarian."
"He Laosan, right?"
The dog turned around and smiled mischievously. The donkey's balls were all cold, so it nodded gloomily.
Li Jun took a deep look at the peonies and walked into the main hall. The hall was covered with dust and spider webs and was dedicated to an unknown wild god.
In Li Jun's inherent thinking, all those worshiped in temples are Buddhas.
But in this world, Buddhism is weak, and most temples are dedicated to unknown gods. Rather than being called temples, it is more appropriate to call them temples.
Li Jun moved out the wooden basin. There were some gold, silver and jewelry in the wooden basin. There was no food or drink, and no change of clothes.
Li Jun sighed.
It was Gou Da who was responsible for tidying up the tub, and he didn't need to wear clothes or shoes.
"He Laosan, there is a stream outside. You go to fetch water to catch fish and prepare bath water. Xuan Laoer, you are responsible for cleaning and lighting the fire. Uh, Yang Xuan and Xiaozhi..."
"Forget it, just stay here!"
Gouda quickly assigned the task, jumped directly onto Li Jun, lay down, and fell asleep.
Li Jun hugged the big dog and found a clean place to sit down, enjoying the service of the monsters, which was a bit unaccustomed.
He San secretly rolled his eyes and reluctantly left the temple gate.
Xuanshui was much more hard-working and quickly cleaned the spider webs, leaving the places where the eight spider legs had crawled clean.
During the time when Li Jun was sleeping, Xuanshui's spider legs all grew in length. It must be said that the spider's regeneration ability is also quite strong.
soon.
A bonfire was lit in the deserted temple, and a big fish was grilled next to it. The fish was wrapped in leaves and roasted slowly, and the aroma filled the air.
Li Jun sat blankly, Xuan Shui lay silently next to him, his eight spider legs spread out, his head lowered, and he didn't speak.
Gou Da, He San, and Yang Xuan, these three guys were having a great time fighting landlords. Since Li Jun taught them how to fight landlords, they really like fighting.
There were no playing cards, so they used peony leaves as cards. The leaves were crookedly engraved with big king and little king...
Xiaozhi has always been taciturn and especially afraid of Li Jun. She has been hiding behind Yang Xuan and watching them play cards, just like a wife treating her husband.
Li Jun was alone, staring at the bonfire boredly. He tried to chat with Xuan Shui, trying to figure out the cause of Xuan Shui's sudden change.
What did it eat back then?
Xuanshui was unwilling to say more, he hesitated and couldn't say a few words for a long time, and even if he did say something, he couldn't answer the question.
Li Jun is no longer interested.
Time passed little by little and the fish was cooked. Li Jun ate it with big mouthfuls regardless of the fact that it was hot to his hands. The wild fish was not fat, but it tasted particularly delicious.
suddenly.
There were rustling footsteps outside. Li Jun looked up and saw that the door opened and a dozen people in ragged clothes walked in.
"Hey, there's someone here."
The speaker was a sturdy man in his forties with messy hair, wearing an open short shirt that exposed strong muscles.
The sturdy man clasped his fists: "This little brother, my name is Lu Qing, escaped from Yangpo Village and passed by here. It's too cold. Can you let us in?"
Li Jun nodded and did not stop him.
The ruined temple is not owned by Li Jun's family. If Li Jun can live in it, so can others.
Lu Qing thanked him and called everyone in. As soon as they came in, Li Jun smelled a sour smell.
These people were dressed in tatters, and their shoes and clothes did not fit well. As soon as they entered the door, they all looked at Li Jun timidly and did not speak.
Lu Qing was an outgoing person. He asked everyone to gather some firewood outside, and also built a bonfire to cook porridge.
More than a dozen people gathered tightly around their campfire and remained silent.
Fortunately, the main hall was big enough. Even with so many people arriving at once, it still seemed empty. Where the bonfire couldn't shine, the dogs were fighting in full swing without even raising their eyelids.
However, they now use sound transmission instead.
Xuanshui's body shrank to the size of a red date, and he spread a spider web on the pillar behind Li Jun, staying firmly in the center.
