Chapter 5 The world outside the temple
Having said that, he had some understanding of Mr. Su. He was once a man with a majestic and sharp edge. He once reached the peak of his family's career. The new county magistrate also asked him to have a cup of tea when he took office. However, after the pain of losing his son, his sharpness was sharply reduced. After these years, he is probably about the same kind as ordinary old people.
However, the mysterious sister-in-law never heard much news, and the comments from the maids were also good and bad.
In summary, compared to Su Wanmiao, this cheap sister-in-law is more lively and more unique, and seems to be studying some weird things.
"Miss Two?"
This time, Ying'er knew more than other maids. While she was playing the Goji he "invented" with Du Bai, she recalled with her little head tilted.
"Yes, Miss Second doesn't like scholars. She has been sarcastic about you several times before."
She thought Du Bai wanted to have a good relationship with her sister-in-law, and thought about the reason intimately.
Du Bai, who was about to hold a chess piece, twitched slightly when he heard this. So that's it. No wonder when he pretended to ask casually, the maids looked like they covered their mouths and smiled secretly.
"But don't worry, son-in-law. Miss Second is actually very kind. She just hates that kind of pedantic scholar. If you can chat with Miss Second, she will definitely change your mind."
After two days of getting along, Ying'er found that this son-in-law was not as boring and pedantic as she had imagined. Instead, she spoke with a little humor, which would definitely make the second lady change her view.
She is very confident.
It doesn't make any sense to ask more questions. Du Bai simply focused on playing chess. If he didn't pay attention, he almost made the little girl make up for five sons.
At night, Du Bai turned off the lights and went to bed alone, but in fact, his consciousness was transferred to another body through the light spot.
Almost instantly, the huge sense of power was filled back to his body. The previous sick feeling of weakness that was not able to lift his strength was wiped out, almost making him feel comfortable and moaned.
“This feels addictive…”
After quickly adapting to this change, he slowly opened his eyes. It was pitch black in front of him, and there was still the quiet and cold temple hall, and no suspicious person entered.
But in fact, if someone approaches him, the corresponding light spot will illuminate and remind him, which is quite humane.
Although the three-day rest failed to heal his injuries, it was not as serious as before. Now his normal actions are not hindered.
He slowly stood up, and waves of twitching and flesh-like twitching from inside his body stimulated his brain, but it had weakened a lot compared to when he tried before, so he calmed down a little.
He stepped down the steps step by step with heavy steps, and the heavy armor on his body made a slight metal friction sound. Although it did not hinder his walking, it still made him feel a little uncomfortable.
He slightly turned his head and looked around. It was not much different from before. However, the blood stains on the Buddha statues had completely dried up, and the cracks on his body were getting deeper and deeper, approaching the degree of fragmentation, as if he would completely break with just a gentle breath.
Apart from that, nothing happened.
Du Bai withdrew his gaze and turned to look outside the hall.
Just in case, he had been waiting for more than three days. Today he finally wanted to explore this brand new world and understand another world that was completely different from a scholar!
He slowly opened the heavy and ancient hall door, and a slight light penetrated into his eyes. A corner of this unknown world finally appeared in front of him.
Outside the door is a square paved with a diameter of 100 meters, with a warm and cool atmosphere. Further ahead are hundreds or thousands of steps downward stairs.
But as expected, the scenery of this world is not as desolate as expected. Instead, it is a city with a wide area, and in the distance, there are mountains and ridges shrouded in black fog.
The silver-white moonlight in the sky slowly shines, reflecting the entire earth smooth but also darkness in the shadows. The center of the city is this huge dark temple, standing tall, no one dares to transcend the slightest part. Then the city area surrounded by circles as the center is as densely lined up like the ancient buildings in my impression, with low alleys and intertwined. If you don't look closely, it is almost the same as the human world.
But if you look closely, you can see some interesting places.
For example, in the southeast, there are a few small stalls and vendors on the bluestone road. It is speculated that this place is about a market. But perhaps due to the battle a few days ago, there were few pedestrians. However, many of the surrounding houses have become ruins or crumbling dangerous buildings, and the residents of the city are working hard to repair them.
Du Bai saw a few human skin lanterns swaying on the streets with mud, while several paper men with heavy makeup were piled up with mud, which was strange. Even if the mud in their hands could turn into a rock-hard foundation in the blink of an eye.
There was also a group of half-human-tall rat spirits pushing huge stones together and transporting them quickly. Two pangolins chiseled them flat and smoothly. A tiger-headed and human-body monster next to him waved his whip and seemed to be supervising the worker.
"Ghost Construction Team?"
Du Bai felt a little funny in his heart. However, this efficiency is indeed much higher than that of ordinary people. A house was built in just a moment.
"Maybe I'll be short of money one day, and I can still let them work for me." He thought to himself.
This is his ghost town!
Thinking of this, his mood was stirring but he was not revealed. He took a slow step, his feet were as smooth as jade, without any dust. He just didn't take two steps, but he saw a pink glow flying from a distance, which fell in front of him and quickly condensed into a woman's figure.
He paused and immediately guessed the identity of the visitor.
"Wang, your injury is healed?!"
The woman in a light pink dress knelt down on one knee, with a little joy in her tone.
Sure enough, the sound was very familiar. It was because she brought her relics to her that she healed her injuries so quickly.
He moved his gaze slightly. The woman's appearance was indeed outstanding, but she was still slightly worse than Su Wanmiao's beauty. However, she exuded a tempting aura that was not like a human woman. Her face, which was originally pure and cute, was more pleasing and charming than usual.
This is because she surrendered in front of him and dared not use her means. I am afraid that if an ordinary man met her, he would seek death for her and abandon his wife and children at a glance.
"You've been here all the time?"
Du Bai spoke slowly, his voice with a bit of heavy hoarseness.
"Well. I don't dare to go far. Wang, you are seriously injured and have not healed. If any thief dares to take the opportunity to attack, I will die. At least... at least I can resist this cheap life for a moment..."
