MTL - Urban Tales of Demons and Spirits-Chapter 185 temple fair
Shi Yitong gave me a face laugh twice and muttered, "Okay, you say yes. Bayi Chinese Network ?? W≥W≈W≤. = 81ZW. But if I change it to me, I do n’t You will put yourself in danger because of a stranger. "
Shi Yitong is right. For what reason I am willing to join this dangerous world, it is not clear to me. But it is undeniable that from the moment I met Wen Jiubai, I was completely attracted by this life.
Dangerous, like a flame. Knowing that getting too close is easy to burn the jade and stone, but still can not restrain his urge to approach it.
Just like Wen Jiubai, he is full of mystery and deadly appeal. If you think about it, I don't even know him at all, but always obey his orders without hesitation and break into the unknown world.
"Speaking, how many days have we been here?" I asked suddenly.
"Er ... three days, if one day on the road, it should be four days." Shi Yitong thought for a while, worried, "Speaking of, except for weekends, we seem to have only taken two days off. We managed to finish it, shouldn't we go back quickly ... "
Has it been four days?
If I count the week before I deliberately alienated Wen Jiubai, I haven't seen Wen Jiubai in almost two weeks.
Since he called him in the middle of the night, he also did not contact me as usual. So, it would be better to call him before returning.
In the next time, we all spend a chat with each other. Later, Shi Yitong fell asleep on the table and snored loudly. And I brushed Weibo aimlessly, until about five o'clock in the afternoon, Su Xiaoyi broke into our door.
"Hey, what are you two doing!" The queen raised her chin and patted the door, and she was so sleepy that she was awakened by a loud noise.
"What's wrong?" Shi Yitong sat upright in shock, without drooling the corners of his mouth, "Goddess Su! You scared me!"
"You're really overwhelmed, you can still sleep like a pig at this time, and I really admire you." Su Xiaoying said angrily.
"What's wrong? You don't need to take care of Zhuxuan?" I also said.
"So, I just want to tell you about this." Su Xiaoyi turned his head and gestured outside the room with a chin. "He is awake."
Only then did we see that Zhu Xuan's head was scattered, and the blood-stained blouse had been replaced by the large white shirt provided by Shi Yitong's friendship. He shouted at us with a smile.
"Sorry, I worry you."
Shi Yitong and I stood up at the same time, and breathed a sigh of relief, "You're all right, great."
"Does the wound matter?"
"It's okay." Zhu Xuan smiled softly. "Thank you, it's more important to seal the beast. It's normal for the temple fair tonight."
"What are you talking about?" Su Xiaozhen patted Zhu Xuan's back, "It's clear that you are alive, it is more important for us all to live!"
Su Xiaozhen was really the same Su Xiaozheng, Shi Yitong and I both laughed.
Xu Yingchen prepared dinner for us shortly after, and Zhuxuan changed into new clean clothes. Everything was restored to peace. Everyone talked about some topics at the dinner table.
Xu Yingchen never asked us what we did when we went out, for which I am very grateful for his understanding of us.
"Yes, you children, do you want to go to the temple fair at night?" Suddenly, Xu Yingchen asked suddenly, "It seems to start at five in the evening."
We all stunned, chopsticks stopped in the air. After going through all of this, I'm not sure if I still want to go to the temple fair.
And the kind and enthusiastic uncle Xu was still whispering and said, "If you want to go, I can just take a trip with you. My cousin borrowed my car the day before yesterday and came back today, and I just want to go there to buy something How about? Would you like to go? "
Just when the three of us were still hesitant to communicate with each other, Zhu Xuan spoke.
"Come on. Why don't you go for a rare opportunity?" Zhu Xuan smiled. "Maybe you can buy some novelty at the temple fair."
"What about you?" Uncle Xu looked at us three again.
"Go." I nodded, and Shi Yitong and Su Xiaoyi also said they were going.
"Yeah, a rare opportunity." Su Xiaoyi smiled and whispered in my ear again, "We have saved the world once in a while, always look at the world we have saved."
As we imagined, there were not many people at the temple fair, and vendors were sparse. The red lanterns and delicate dragon models hung on the trees, more or less lonely. And even the tourists who visit the temple fair have a little tiredness and fear in their smiles. The shadow of death still hangs over the people in Diecui Mountain and lingers.
"But the beast has been sealed, but these people don't know yet. They are afraid of not knowing when they will die." I sighed, "Can't we find a way to tell them that the matter has been solved?"
"If you like, you can tell them." Zhu Xuan smiled. "It depends if they believe it."
"They will definitely not believe it." Su Xiaoyi shook his head and said sadly, "Most people will not believe that it is a legendary monster that eaten people. I think they are more willing to believe that it was a beast attack or a murder case. Or some government conspiracy theory. "
"Why are humans always so stupid?" Shi Yitong whispered. "I would rather believe in political conspiracy theories than believe the facts before us. How can it be done?"
"Don't say that to your kin, Shi Yitong." Zhu Xuan seemed to be teased by Shi Yitong's argument. "Human beings are a very alert creature. They can easily detect the dangers around them, and then quickly let the entire ethnic group Into a vigilant atmosphere. This is nothing more than biological instinct, nothing stupid. "
"But the danger has passed, right? Die Cuishan is safe, and no strange monsters will come out to eat people in the future. These people can rest assured." Shi Yitong said indifferently.
"It's not necessarily." Zhuxuan gave us an unexpected answer, and narrowed his eyes, his expression was serious, "I think the current situation is too far away from the word 'safe'. They are now holding fear And vigilance is smart. "
When Shi Yitong and Su Xiaozhen hadn't responded at all to what he was talking about, I already understood the meaning of Zhu Xuan.
"The man on the top of the mountain, right?"
Zhu Xuan looked at me in surprise, "You also show up?"
I nodded. "Although the distance is too far, I can only see a blurry figure."
Zhu Xuan said immediately: "But it also shows that his power must be very strong, otherwise it is impossible to affect the beast so far."
Shi Yitong interrupted us in a fog, "Wait, what the **** are you talking about? I don't understand a sentence?"
"When we confronted the Beast, it would have been dead, right?" I had to explain to the two patients patiently. "But I don't know why. The Beast suddenly seemed to be restrained by some power. Suddenly you can't move, do you remember? "
Shi Yitong nodded desperately. "Remember. I remember I was asking if you were a ghost."
I shook my head, "It's not a ghost I made, I didn't do anything. It's a silhouette standing on the opposite mountain. I can't see him clearly, I can't even see whether it's a man or a woman, but I'm sure There was an inexplicable force coming from that direction. "
"You really have strong spiritual vision." Zhu Xuan looked at me with a look of admiration, which made me embarrassed.
"So you mean, we were able to seal the beast successfully because of the help of noble people?" Su Xiaoying said in surprise, "but ... who would help us? I thought only a few of us knew about the beast. . "
"You asked the wrong question, Goddess Su." Shi Yitong shook his finger and said sternly, "It's not a question of 'who', but a question of 'why.' Why does that person want to help us? And if he is friendly On the other side, he has great power. Why didn't he help us stop that big guy at first? He must show up at the last second, and disappear after the incident? "
"That's right." Zhu Xuan nodded in agreement with Shi Yitong's point of view. "I thought for a long time, why did this person help us seal the beast, but he never showed up from beginning to end like an invisible man. I want to come and go, only One possibility. "
"What is it?" Su Xiaoying asked.
"That is, the person who helped us today is the creator." Zhu Xuan said affirmatively.
"You mean ... unlock the seal before the beast and let him out to harm the cannibals?" Su Xiaozhang was surprised.
"How is that?" Shi Yitong puzzled. "Since he is the original creator, how can he help us?"
"Because he realized that he was playing too much." I couldn't help but interject. "Whatever his original purpose is, this person doesn't want to see us die. We can't die, he won't let us die, So in the end we helped, and we successfully sealed the beast. He has so much power, he must be able to control the monster, so I suspect that the originator is the Taoist who sealed it 30 years ago. "
"That priest?" Su Xiaozhang was surprised.
"That ubiquitous priest?" Shi Yitong thought about his chin and looked at us in horror. "I don't know why, I think your reasoning is quite reasonable."
