C89 Night Rain Viewing

Du Qi said, "It's what the Wind and Fire Dao did after they heard about me. He probably didn't know about my existence, ___ said. At that time, he used his spiritual sense to scan the surroundings. If I hadn't been prepared for this, I would have been discovered by him. When he withdrew his psychic power, I wanted to take the opportunity to find out more about him. I was almost discovered by him, but it might have alerted him. That was why he seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person, so I could conclude that most of what he said was true. It was also because of this that the kingdom forced me to give face and let Huang Da take Luo Changhe and Guo Qinggong away."

Qin Xin asked, "What made you suspect again?"

Du Qi said, "At the ferry, we heard people say that the ferry was sent to transport supplies and bandits two days ago, but the bandits were not destroyed. Last night, they almost fought their way into the city. However, after thinking about it carefully, it was not difficult to know that the farce last night was arranged by them. They wanted us to escape to the ferry, but after seeing that we didn't do what they thought, they sent Little Lan to secretly tell us that Young Master Qin Qi was nearby. We only have two places to look for the Seventh Young Master of the Qin Family. One was the five-mile pavilion outside the west gate, and the other was the ferry outside the east gate. There are bandits outside the west gate, so the only place left is the ferry. As pedestrians could not cross the river, plus the people who escaped from the city last night, the inn at the ferry would definitely be full. This way, we will be able to lure us into the place they arranged."

Qin Xin said again, "Since they want to capture us, wouldn't it be better to make a move in King Xing's Mansion City? At the very least, setting up an ambush along the way is better than staying in an inn."

Du Qi said, "But the truth is not so. It seems to be easy and difficult in the city because the houses in the city are continuous. With such a large population, it will be very difficult to trap us. Once we break out of their encirclement, it will be very difficult to catch us again, but the road is too vast, so it is not convenient for them to set up an ambush. Only in the courtyard that they have arranged can we set up traps everywhere. It makes it difficult for us to escape."

Qin Xin said," But why did they spend so much effort to change their plan at the last minute and set up traps in Ju Ying Tower to deal with us? "

Du Qi said," This is called a coincidence. They originally wanted to set up an ambush in that small courtyard to capture us. However, because of the interference of Maple Forest Mountain Manor and other martial artists, they had no choice but to change to Ju Ying Tower. They wanted to capture us together, but they did not set up so many positions. That was why the Bright Moon Castle's Zhang Tianxiang forced them to give up their seats. Who knew that people would not be able to predict the future? Their plan had been inadvertently ruined by the people of Breeze Camp. However, I wonder if the people of Hundred Flower Palace were invited? "

Jin Dachuan said," The people from the Hundred Flower Palace must have come as unexpected as us. Otherwise, they wouldn't have retreated before fighting with us. "

Qin Xin suddenly said," Could it be that Maple Forest Mountain Manor is more important to them than capturing us? " This question was just a lamentable thought that followed Du Qi's words. Unexpectedly, it shocked everyone so much that they all felt that the matter was not normal. But they couldn't find the root of the problem.

Everyone could not figure it out, and Qin Xin felt a deep headache. She suddenly cried out in surprise, "Eh! Why is it raining?!"

When everyone heard this, they quickly recovered from their thoughts and found that there was a drizzle around them. Chiang Jingzhi looked around and said, "This place is desolate and uninhabited. There is only a dilapidated Taoist temple on the small mountain to the left of the road ahead. There is only one deaf and mute Taoist in the temple. Let's hurry up and go there to avoid the rain!"

At this moment, the raindrops became thicker and thicker. When everyone heard this, they shouted and rushed forward.

When they arrived at the temple on the mountain, it was already raining heavily. Everyone had long become drenched chickens. All the torches were completely extinguished by the rain. A man in his thirties in Maple Forest Mountain Manor pushed open the door and entered, followed by a group of people. There were only four rows and three rooms in the temple, and the door in the middle was open. There was a faint red light flickering in the air, like the flickering flame of a torch.

One of them said happily, "That deaf and mute Taoist hasn't slept yet. It seems that we came at the right time, so we don't have to waste our time to wake him up."

As soon as that person finished speaking, one of the people in the temple continued, "There are no deaf and mute Taoist here anymore. There is only a rundown household here to avoid the rain!"

That person's voice was extremely calm, as if he was a neighbor who had been whispering to someone for many years. There was nothing unusual about it, but Du Qi could hear that the man's voice was calm and proper. There was no hurry. No matter what kind of disturbance it was, it was impossible to interrupt him. It was obvious that this man wasn't an ordinary person.

Chiang Jingzhi replied, "It's raining heavily outside. Can we come in to avoid the rain?"

After a pause, the person said, "This is not my place. I came here to avoid the rain, but I arrived before you. Please do not ask me."

When everyone entered the hall, they found that it was empty and there was no wall separating them. The three rooms formed a spacious hall, and the statue of the Three Clarities was worshipping the inside of the hall. There was an incense burner made of stone in the middle of an old and clumsy wooden offering table in front of them, and there was a stone plate on the left and right side of the furnace. Just like the four corners of the hall, except for the spider webs and thick layers of dust, there was nothing else. Apparently, no one had cleaned the incense burner for a long time.

On the stone floor in the middle of the hall, three dry tree sticks as thick as an arm were placed in the flames. The flickering light emitted a weak light. Next to it was an old farmer who looked like an old farmer. A shriveled old man in his fifties was sitting there with his head half-lowered, dozing off. He heard a sound. He raised a pair of dim yellow eyes and looked at the crowd.

Du Qi saw that there was a faint flame flickering in his dim eyes, which looked no different from an ordinary person's. He suddenly felt as if he had grasped something. When he looked closely, there was nothing unusual about it. However, he felt his heart move for no reason. It was as if he was a little excited, but also a little confused. There was also a trace of panic that seemed to be ignorant of something.

In the empty hall, the light of the flame seemed very weak. As the fire was extinguished, everyone could vaguely see that there were many yellow slips of paper stuck on the walls of the hall. They danced and danced in the sound of the rain, creating a gloomy atmosphere. It made them feel a little panicked for no reason.

Although it was hot summer, on this rainy night, the people who were soaked in rain still felt a slight chill. They did not realize it like Du Qi did. Seeing that it was an unremarkable skinny old man, they felt relieved. They shook off the water stains on their bodies and laughed as they approached the pile of fire.

Suddenly, the old man let out a long sigh. His gaze landed on the dancing flames, and he indifferently stopped everyone from saying, "There are still some firewood here. You all go to the corner over there and raise the fire to roast your clothes."

Qin Xin smiled and said, "Uncle, you are alone and it is cold. Why don't we all have a lively place together?"
