Chapter Ten Ancient Temple in the Deep Mountain(1/2)

Early the next morning, Xu Kang got up with Cheng Yuanzhi, washed up, and went out with him.

Cheng Yuanzhi just visited various places in the village, and Xu Kang found that he was unexpectedly popular here. Perhaps seeing Xu Kang's confusion, Cheng Yuanzhi explained that there had been a plague in Majiazhuang before, but he did not avoid it.

He diagnosed and treated them despite the risk of infection, which made many people in Majiazhuang feel grateful to him. Ma Jie was also one of the people he saved, so Ma Jie worshiped him as his teacher and joined Taiping Tao.

Most other counties and villages in Zhuo County also received such favors from him.

At noon, Taiping Taoists from other villages in Fangcheng who heard that Cheng Yuanzhi was here came to pay their respects. In the end, Xu Kang took a look and saw that there were nearly a hundred people. These were just representatives of each village.

They also brought a large number of gifts, of course almost all of them were food. All kinds of local products and game filled the courtyard where Cheng Yuanzhi and Xu Kang lived. In this way, Xu Kang had another feast in the morning.

After eating and drinking, Xu Kang escaped from the banquet hall. He had no choice but to introduce him to every representative. However, there were too many people and they were too enthusiastic. Xu Kang couldn't bear it.

, had no choice but to take the opportunity to escape. Now, Xu Kang finally understood why the Yellow Turban thieves were able to shake the foundation of the extremely powerful Han Dynasty. Based on the enthusiasm of these people now, it can be seen that Zhang Jiao's Taiping Road is too popular.

The common people welcomed it.

"Uncle Junior, what are you doing here?"

Xu Kang turned around and saw that the speaker was Ma Wei, Ma Jie's eldest son, followed by his younger brother Ma Guang and a dozen other young men of similar age.

Xu Kang was caught in action, but he didn't feel any shame at all. He pretended to be thoughtful and said, "I'm thinking."

Ma Wei and others couldn't help laughing when they saw how funny Xu Kang, a child, was pretending to be meditative.

Only then did Xu Kang realize that a group of them were actually equipped with bows and swords, and asked in shock: "What are you doing?"

"Let's go hunting in the mountains." Ma Guang asked eagerly: "Uncle Junior Master, do you want to go?"

Ma Wei saw that Xu Kang was young and handsome, and did not look like he had practiced martial arts. He couldn't help scolding Ma Guang: "Don't talk nonsense. I will follow my master to meet the elders later.

How can he have time to fool around with you?"

Xu Kang looked at Ma Wei appreciatively and felt that this young man was really not a reckless man who only wanted to fight bravely. No wonder Cheng Yuanzhi wanted to approach them by himself. But although Xu Kang didn't know how to hunt, he didn't want to be beaten by a group of uncles.

The uncle-like figure made a comment and said: "Just in time, I also want to go to the mountains, but I don't know how to hunt. You will have to help me then."

Ma Guang immediately cheered, patted his chest and said, "No problem, I'll take care of everything." After saying that, he rolled his eyes at his brother. Ma Wei just smiled and ignored him.

So everyone changed Xu Kang's outfit, that is, they found a bow, a dozen arrows, and a short knife. Then everyone happily set off towards the mountain.

In ancient times, hunting was not only a recreational activity, but also a military competition subject. Through it, the coordination and cooperation ability of an army could be tested. Of course, this is a bit far for a hunting team of more than a dozen people like Xu Kang and others.

.

Since this was Xu Kang's first time hunting, Ma Wei was naturally still the leader of the dozens of people. He was divided into seven groups in groups of two, and then divided into three groups in a 2-3-2 configuration.

The two large groups on the left and right enter the forest first. Their task is to drive all the prey they see to the designated location. At that time, the three groups will form an encirclement, so the hunting efficiency will be greatly improved.

Originally, Ma Wei planned to assign Xu Kang to his own group so that he could be taken care of, but Ma Guang insisted on being in the same group as Xu Kang, so Ma Wei finally had to compromise.

Xu Kang and Ma Guang belong to the middle group. Although they belong to the same group as Ma Wei, the two groups are hundreds of meters apart. In this forest, the two sides can only hear each other's voices but cannot see each other.

Ma Guang seemed to be in charge for the first time, and he took the trouble to explain to Xu Kang the various taboos and methods of hunting. Until a signal of "Oh, oh" came from the distance.

Xu Kang knew that this was the signal to start hunting, so he shouted "oh, oh" and rushed forward after Ma Guang.

Soon, Xu Kang discovered his prey - a rabbit.

Xu Kang was even more excited. He yelled "Oh!" and ran after the rabbit. At the same time, he opened his hunting bow and kept shooting. Xu Kang used a civilian hunting bow that could only shoot 50 steps, so with Xu Kang's strength, he could

It was easily stretched to full string, and each arrow fired made a whistling sound, but it was accurate, so we won't describe it here. Anyway, the rabbit in the end seemed to feel like staying in place and letting Xu Kang shoot back at will.

It was safer, because if it ran around, it might be hit by Xu Kang's crooked arrow. So it really stopped, and stood on its two hind legs, lifted its front legs, and stretched out

It had long ears and a pair of glowing red eyes and looked at Xu Kang randomly. Xu Kang was so angry that he no longer needed his bow. He pulled out his dagger and rushed forward, vowing to fight the rabbit to the death.

Hard work paid off, Xu Kang chased for a long time, and finally he caught the rabbit. Grabbing the long ears of the rabbit, Xu Kang raised it in front of him and cursed, "Damn, do you think you are a rogue rabbit?"

"How dare you not take this uncle seriously, and run away if you have the ability." Xu Kang laughed wildly, but then his smile froze on his face, because he found that he couldn't hear anything else.

Human voices. You know, in order to determine the position of each group and scare the prey, everyone is shouting "aww" every time when hunting.

Xu Kang shouted the name "Ma Guang" several times, and walked back along the road in his memory for a while, and finally confirmed the fact that he was lost. This was really a sad discovery, thinking that he was a time traveler.

, the protagonist of the Three Kingdoms in the future, was not only fooled around by a rabbit, but now he is even lost in the forest because of him.

Xu Kang walked around in circles, but he felt that everything in the woods was the same, and in the end he didn't even know where he was.

"Calm down, calm down." Xu Kang said to himself, "Anyway, first look for the direction, and then just keep walking in one direction." Then Xu Kang looked at the sun, and then observed the density of the leaves of the surrounding trees, and finally

Basically we have the right direction.

"Okay, this is it." After Xu Kang found the direction, he walked forward without looking back. Sometimes it was clear that there was no way ahead, but he still rushed forward. In this way, he came to a place inexplicably.

Ruined temple front.

Xu Kang looked at the not-so-small building in front of him in surprise. He really couldn't understand how someone could build a temple in such a place. Judging from its dilapidation, it was probably a hundred years old. Xu Kang walked to a stone tablet.

, wrote three big characters.

"Lanruo Temple." Xu Kang murmured. It was really a familiar name. Xu Kang raised his legs and wanted to take a look at the temple. After all, he was tired after walking for so long.

As soon as Xu Kang's front foot stepped down, a stream of cold air rushed from the soles of his feet to his forehead, and then rushed back to the soles of his feet, freezing his whole body. He finally remembered why he thought the name "Lanruo Temple" was familiar. Isn't this Qiannu?

The haunted temple in Ghost? Isn’t it? No way? I guess

It's obviously the Three Kingdoms, how could it be connected with A Chinese Ghost Story? Maybe it's just the same name. Xu Kang kept comforting himself with these words, but in his eyes, the temple became more and more gloomy, although Xu Kang knew that it was his own

My psychology is at work, but I still can't help but think about the worst.

Finally, Xu Kang yelled and said: "What am I doing? I haven't done anything wrong. What should I be afraid of? Besides, in broad daylight, even if there are ghosts, I don't dare to come out." After emboldening himself, Xu Kang

Kang felt certain and walked towards Lanruo Temple.

The walls of Lanruo Temple were badly damaged, and only one main hall still managed to maintain its majestic appearance. Xu Kang walked in and found that the main hall was covered with dust. A half-length Buddha statue fell on the altar, and there were all kinds of things piled up in front of the altar.

Xu Kang looked around and couldn't find even a place to sit. It didn't look like a beautiful female ghost would appear, so he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Just when Xu Kang was hesitating whether to quit, something in the debris in front of the altar slightly arched up, then fell, and then arched up again. Repeatedly, it seemed that something was about to break out. Xu Kang suddenly felt

A chill came out of my heart.

"No - it can't be a mummy, right?" The more Xu Kang thought about it, the more frightened he became. Seeing that it was too late to escape, he once again showed his human limit, hugging a pillar next to him, and rushed up to the beam with three strokes.

.Xu Kang thought to himself, it is said in the movies that mummies cannot climb trees, so he should be very safe here.

The pile of debris finally arched to the maximum extent, and then scattered to both sides like waves splitting, and a human head turned out from the middle. Xu Kang's eyes instantly shrank to a point. However, he saw the head slowly arched, and finally

One person crawled out. No, more than one, and another person crawled out after him. But Xu Kang saw that they were not what he imagined, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ahem." The first person to come out said, "I thought it was Big Brother and the others who came back. Why is there no one? I just heard some movement above."

The second person first scanned the surroundings vigilantly and found nothing out of the ordinary, then said: "Seventh brother, I think you must have been down there for too long and heard wrongly."

"Haha, found it." The seventh brother laughed and waved his hand at the same time, and a chain dart was thrown out, hitting the rabbit brought in by Xu Kang. It turned out that Xu Kangguang just remembered that he was running for his life and forgot about the rabbit. This rabbit

I don’t know if it was because of the experience of dodging Xu Kang’s arrow, but he actually stayed in place and did not run away.

The seventh brother took back the chain dart, and at the same time took the rabbit's body into his hands, and said with a smile: "Now I can change my taste."

The second person who crawled out breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was a rabbit, and said, "Okay, since the eldest brother hasn't come back yet, let's go back first."

"No way." The seventh brother said, "We just came out, let's take a breath before going back, third brother."

The third brother said: "Don't you know how powerful the Zhen family is? Don't be careless."

"Hmph." The seventh brother said: "No matter how powerful the Zhen family is, they still don't want us, the Thirteen Eagles of Youzhou, to snatch away their little daughter. Besides, the Zhen family is very powerful in Jizhou, but we are in Youzhou now.

, no matter how powerful they are, they can still reach here."

"In short, we must be careful in everything." The third brother said, "If we hadn't always believed in this sentence, our lives would have been lost long ago." "Don't worry." The seventh brother said, "There aren't even birds in this damn place.

Come on, if we hadn't been hunted down and escaped here by mistake, how would we have known that this place was still there."

The third brother said: "Since we can enter here by mistake, how can you be sure that others will not? Forget it, just go out for a while. The eldest brother will take the other brothers to contact the Zhen family and should be back soon."

Xu Kang listened to the conversation between the two people below. Although he knew little about it, he also understood that the other party seemed not to be easy to get along with. He was hesitant about how to get out. He did not notice the moment of hesitation when the third brother walked to the pillar just now, and the two subsequent ones.

The brothers looked back and forth. When they heard that the two people below were about to go out, they were overjoyed and thought this was their chance to escape.

Unexpectedly, the second brother had already discovered Xu Kang's traces, and these words were just to paralyze him. As soon as they took a step, the seventh brother stepped on the third brother's hand, and with the help of the third brother's support,

He jumped two feet high, his eyes were level with the beam, and he saw Xu Kang climbing on the beam.

The two of them were stunned when they looked at each other. The seventh brother laughed and said: "It turns out he is a stupid kid." After saying that, he took advantage of the opportunity of his body to be in the air and fired a dart. Xu Kang turned over to avoid it, but the beam was narrow.

Then he fell down, Xu Kang climbed onto the roof beam with one hand, and at the same time, he fell down.

He threw the short knife from his waist with one hand. The seventh brother couldn't avoid it in the air. He was accidentally hit because of his carelessness. He screamed and fell to the ground, motionless. He was actually dead. The third brother cried out sadly.

With a loud sound, he threw himself on his seventh brother and called out again and again, but he still woke up.

Xu Kang took this opportunity to climb onto the rafter again.

Seeing that the seventh brother was dead, the third brother turned to look at Xu Kang, with a fierce light in his eyes, and said: "Shuzi, come down quickly and die." Xu Kang rolled his eyes fiercely, think I'm stupid, come down? You're dreaming. You also shouted:

"Shu Zi, come up quickly and lead me to death."

The third brother was furious, but he would not be stupid enough to climb the pillar. After all, Xu Kang was guarding it. He cursed for a while. Suddenly, he dug out a pile of broken tiles from the debris on the side.

Xu Kang was startled and said, "What are you doing?"

The third brother laughed ferociously and said, "Are you serious that you don't want to come down? Then someone will drive you down." After saying that, he picked up the tiles and threw them at Xu Kang.
