Autumn is getting deeper, the weather is cold, the days are getting shorter, and the rain is heavy and continuous.

At night, there is no moon or stars, and the roads are muddy.

On the side of the road, there is a small road, and at the end of the path, there is a mountain road, and along the mountain road, there is an abandoned ancient temple.

The ancient temple stele was dumped on the side of the road, already broken, and mossy was everywhere. Most of the mountain gate collapsed, but it was still able to pass through. The health pool is full of silt, lotus leaves are falling, and there is a faint fishy smell.

The palace of the Heavenly King is still standing, but the roof is leaking, and at this moment, the hall is full of water.

Passing through the inner courtyard, it is the Daxiong Treasure Palace, which is the most well-preserved ancient temple, and it is the Daxiong Treasure Palace.

Although the paint on the wall is peeled, the copper tripod is dragged away by someone without knowing who has left a place of incense ash, mixed in the leaves all over the ground, the Buddha statue is very miserable, not only the gold paint is scraped away, but also broken, as if it has been abused by robbers. But at worst, it can still shelter from the wind and rain, and there are only a few places where there are water leaks.

And the rest of the places, such as the meditation room, the Tibetan scripture pavilion, the Zhikeliao, etc., either collapsed, or crumbling and unpopular.

Because of the continuous rain, plus the night. Ghost Cry and his party came here and stayed in the Daxiong Treasure Hall for the time being.

The dead leaves in the treasure hall are collected and can also be used as firewood. In fact, Devil May Cry and Cai Wei did just that.

However, Ghost Cry does not have a little psychological burden, he also has faith, although he worships God and Buddha, he does not believe in God and Buddha. This temple saw that it had been surrendered and abandoned like this, so he was naturally not polite.

Cai Wei is different, she believes in gods and Buddhas, whether it is gods or Buddhas, she believes a little, so she said a few words of Amitabha, and she was at ease. After all, gods and Buddhas are merciful!

Knowing that your temple can shelter people from the wind and rain in a hurry, presumably, you won't be angry, and you will be very relieved, right?

Cai Wei cleaned the dry corner of the wall and spread the quilt. Devil May Cry set up a rack with a wooden stick he had chopped outside, and skewered a small wild boar on top of it and roasted it.

There is wind and sleet leaves poured in, and in the temple, the doors and windows have long been broken and cannot be resisted. The flames were churning, and some of the burning leaves were blown into the air and swept aside.

The figures in the hall swayed, and the smell of meat was permeated. This little wild boar has been roasted.

As the night deepened, the wind and rain continued, and the well-fed and well-fed big black horse was lying in a dry place, smashing his mouth and smashing his mouth, with a satisfied look.

Ghost Cry took off his armor and wiped it carefully, causing bursts of giggles to echo in his ears.

Cai Wei covered herself with a quilt, revealing only a small head, and asked the ghost to cry, "Brother ghost, how far do you say it is from Thousand Scales City?"

After a day in the county, they didn't do nothing. First replenished the dry food, and then asked the way clearly, knowing that the closest to here was Thousand Scales City, and also knew the location of Thousand Scales City.

"I guess I'll have to walk for another day. Devil Cry stopped wiping his armor and put it aside, and a whisper immediately came from his ears.

"Don't, people still want it. ”

"Come on, official, keep coming!"

"To be ......"

"Why did it stop, it's cool. ”

The ghost cried and ignored the angry souls, put his hands on the back of his head, and lay down.

The big mouth coiled on the beam of the room like a snake, "looking" at the harmonious scene below, and stretched his body lazily.

The rain outside was louder, and the fire in the temple flickered. Suddenly, Oni Cry sat up. On the beams of the house, Big Mouth also raised his head.

Cai Wei, who had slowly fallen asleep, was awakened, opened her eyes, and got up when she saw this: "Big brother ghost, what's wrong." ”

"Prepare, someone's coming. ”

Cai Wei lifted the quilt and sat up, then folded the quilt and put it aside, looking at the door vigilantly.

The sound of hurried footsteps came.

A group of people walked in from the outside.

I saw that there were men and women, and there were two women, who looked like maids and young ladies. And the men, there are seven, all of them are sturdy, and they have weapons on their bodies, which are not easy to provoke at first glance. It's just that they look obviously rude, but they are dressed very luxuriously, and at the same time, they don't fit, and they look a little nondescript.

Of the seven men, four of them carried two large wooden boxes, two of which carried large bags of luggage, and only the one who was the leader did not carry any luggage or suitcases. And two women, right behind him.

The two women's faces were pale, washed by the rain, soaking wet, and their hands were shaking.

After the seven men walked in, they all looked at Cai Wei, and then quickly moved away and looked at Ghost Cry.

The man at the head was about as tall as Devil Cry, and unlike the others, perhaps because of the rain, he simply took off his coat and wore only a short shirt, which was open to reveal a large amount of chest hair. And in his hand, he was holding a bright and flickering Pu knife.

I saw him smile heroically, and he cried at the ghost and arched his hand: "Brother, on this rainy day, it is not easy to find a place to shelter from the rain, can you join up and spend the night together." ”

Ghost cried and waved his hand: "Please feel free!"

As he spoke, he put on his armor.

Seeing the ghost's crying action, the man's cheeks twitched, and he continued to ask: "I don't know if I can borrow a fire, it doesn't matter if we men are strong or strong, but there are still female dependents, but they can't withstand such a toss." ”

"Yes. Ghost Cry nodded, and put on a gray linen coat over the outside.

The men at the head signaled to the people behind them, and then they came over together, and when they came to the fire, they put down their luggage boxes, sat on the ground, took out dry food, and prepared to roast on the fire.

The two women grabbed each other's hands, walked over tremblingly, and sat cautiously by the fire, looking at the men.

Cai Wei smiled softly at them, and the two women shuddered and quickly lowered their heads.

Cai Wei lay on Ghost Cry's shoulder, and said in Ghost Cry's ear with a very affectionate look: "They have a problem, those two women, it looks like they were coerced." ”

Ghost Cry nodded slightly, and along the way, Cai Wei's horizons were broadened and she grew a lot. If it had been before, she might have thought that the group of people in front of her was strange, but she wouldn't think much about it. And now, the first suspicion arises, which is good.

When you go out, the most important thing is to be suspicious, even if you are suspicious. If you don't have suspicion, you look stupid and sweet, and you can't go far, and you will be swallowed to the point that there are no bones left.

After all, this is the hinterland of human beings, and there are not many monsters that can beat people, and those dangerous monsters are either hunted by the hunters in the village, or expelled and killed by the army, Taoist priests and monks, etc., and the rest are also hiding their heads and tails, and they will not come out easily. In contrast, it is still the same kind of human race that is more dangerous.

This group of people, the problem is indeed very big.

First of all, the seven men, some may not be tall, but all of them are physically strong, and there are traces of perennial martial arts.
