Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 266 Temple
This time he went to Dingbei City, Chen Zheng knew that he would never go smoothly, and some strange things would happen, otherwise the system would not release the task, so Chen Zheng was nervous all the way. Yes, I never leave my hand with a knife, I sleep with my clothes on, and I always think about the possible moths that may appear in my heart. As a result, there was nothing unusual on the road for two days, and everything went smoothly.

Even Shen Kuo teased that Chen Zheng was too nervous. No matter how powerful the prairie people are, it would be impossible to ambush them on the road. After all, this is Beiyan's territory. There are many people on the road. Without a suitable location and timing, killing someone will soon be exposed in front of people's noses, and then the meaning of assassination will be lost, so it is right to go with peace of mind.

However, Chen Zheng still did not let go of his vigilance, he was still secretly vigilant, and his spirit was slightly relaxed.It can be said that the road is full of wind, food and sleep. After all, the further you go to the north, the fewer the number of towns and cities. Except for some old villages and old towns that have been established for many years, there are almost no people left. After all, going north is to the northern Xinjiang. Within the scope of the Great Wall, occasionally there will be some prairie people who have turned over from which mountain pass. A residence that is often threatened by the outside world is not attractive. Even if you are naturalized, the Beiyan court has issued many policies. Such as tax cuts, exemption from corvee service, military service, etc. Unfortunately, not many people are attracted, and more are the kind of poor people who come to fight hard. There should be no problem with the three of them. If you are unlucky and encounter some prairie people or some bandits, you can only consider yourself unlucky, which also forms a big difference in the development of Jianzhou's north and south.

Don't look at the 20 people in the three carriages who are often smiling and not serious, as if they have no defense against everything around them, but in fact, anyone who has taken a break from martial arts can perceive the amazing martial arts on Shen Kuo The imposing manner, every gesture carried a strong coercion, the ordinary little thieves would not even dare to approach, for fear of offending the boss and being slaughtered directly.This is also the reason why the group of people are still relatively safe.

Seeing that it was already evening, the visibility began to decline, and the group began to look for a place to rest. After all, this is not the Blue Star, and there are no street lights after dark. Walking forward with torches is a living target in the dark. People who walk in the field during this time will not easily move around at night, and they will rest early to recharge their batteries.

Coincidentally, there is an unknown building about 500 meters ahead. If there is no one, it should be a place to live temporarily.

Shen Kuo and Chen Zheng were very active and pulled the three carriages to the vicinity of the building.The reason why they are so excited is that sleeping in a tent is really uncomfortable, the bed is second to none, that is, the tent is too thin, even though it is made of high-quality leather, it still makes people feel uncomfortable in the evening wind. The cold wind was blowing, there were no reliable earthen walls and bricks, and there was no fire in the small tent where they slept. It would be a big joke if they accidentally lit it.

Looking closer, it turned out to be a temple, covering a large area. There is a circle of earthen walls outside, with vermilion paint on it, which has faded due to age, and the gate is also broken. The handwriting on the top plaque is also blurred, and it can be vaguely seen what kind of temple it is.It appears to be a dilapidated temple.

There happened to be some places outside where horses could be tethered. Chen Zheng and the others put the carriage outside and fed each horse with fodder and water. These tamed horses are very well-behaved. Absolutely no problems like running around.

Shen Kuo began to direct some team members to take some daily necessities from the carriage, while Chen Zheng carried the little girl Chen Rui out of the carriage. At this time, the carriage was far less comfortable than the cars on Blue Star, and the roads were rough. It is smooth, and people are shaking in the carriage. If there are no cushions or the like, after getting off the carriage, the whole body will be a little sore and bumpy.The little girl was not surprised, her body was a little tired, and she started yawning when she was in Chen Zheng's arms, and finally hugged Chen Zheng's neck tightly and fell asleep.Chen Zheng also didn't dare to let go, and PP, who was supporting the little girl, hugged her. It seemed that the little girl was tired enough to drive a carriage.

Walking into this temple, there is a huge courtyard first, and there is a huge incense burner in the middle, but it is covered with dust. I think it is the place where the temple worshiped incense before, but I don’t know how many years have passed, and the incense is broken.

Looking further ahead, it should be the main hall of the temple, and a little bit of fire can be vaguely seen. I never thought that someone had already taken a step ahead of Chen Zheng and the others.Shen Kuo walked in front and signaled Chen Zheng and the others to be careful. It was too late to find another address at this time. As long as the people inside were not some villains and they could spend the night in peace, there should be no problem.

Pushing open the broken wooden door, Shen Kuo walked in first, probably because someone had been there before, and there was no such thing as a spider web.

Shen Kuo was the first to look towards the side with the fire, and found that several people were sitting around a fire to keep warm on the right side of the hall.There were four people in total, all wearing dark clothes, which made people feel uncomfortable when it was approaching the night.Shen Kuo found an old man with his naked eyes, and two young men and women. The last one was a young man who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old. From their seats, it was obvious that the three were protecting the young man. .

The sound of Shen Kuo coming in also attracted the attention of the four people. Shen Kuo smiled and pointed to the left side of the main hall, obviously meaning that it would be safe for everyone to rest on the left side without interfering with each other.

The old man nodded to show that he understood. He heard the noise outside and knew that there were a group of temporary residents. Everyone should be more tolerant when going out, which can be regarded as a good relationship.However, the old man's estimate of the number of Shen Kuo and the others was a little off, and twenty people entered in a short while.Although there is still a little baby between them, the people in the Military Intelligence Department are all talented fighters. Each of them has a few lives in their hands, and they also have obvious discipline, which can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. Whether it is a soldier or a group of people from special institutions.

The old man among the four did not have the same reaction. He just squinted his eyes slightly as if observing. However, the young man and woman looked nervous and almost wanted to go under the knife, but the young man stopped him with his eyes. .

Chen Zheng and others also noticed this small gesture, but they didn't pay much attention to it. Everyone was just on the road, and they might not be able to see each other after today, so there wouldn't be much communication.

The four people over there were silent at all, but Chen Zheng's side was bustling with activity, stacking firewood, serving ingredients, getting good wine, and of course there were snacks for Xiao Chen Rui, after all, dry biscuits and the like It doesn't taste good to children, nor does it taste good, Chen Zheng still thinks it's better to eat cakes.

The entire hall was full of excitement on the one hand, and relatively silent on the other, which seemed a bit weird no matter how you looked at it.

The scene of the friendly exchanges between the two parties mentioned in the storybook did not appear. Both parties were sitting on their own affairs, and did not disturb each other. Moreover, it was late at night after drinking and eating, and there was also a very tacit understanding. Then make a louder sound, for fear of disturbing others' rest.

Of course, there are night watchmen on both sides. It is necessary to rest and watch the night in the wild. In this world of warriors, it is not necessarily safe to sit at home, let alone in the wild.There are many examples of encountering attacks in the middle of the night, so we must be more careful.

And both sides seem to be the one who seems to be the strongest in the team. On the side of the military intelligence department is Shen Kuo and a member of the night watchman, and in the team of four is the old man.

Unlike Shen Kuo and the others sitting on a comfortable soft cushion, the old man sat cross-legged on the ground, holding a weapon wrapped in black cloth in his arms, and closed his eyes.

Everything seems so harmonious.

An hour later.

The sky is getting darker, the weather tonight is not very good, the light of the moon is slightly blocked by the clouds.This is not a good omen, as the so-called dark moon and high wind kill people's night.The world is such a mess sometimes.

At this time, in the main hall of the temple, most of the people had already started to fall asleep, and the night watchmen were also conscientious.They who were in the main hall hadn't noticed a faint mist slowly drifting towards the temple from outside.

Shen Kuo sat on the mat and wiped the long knife in his hand in boredom. This was just a standard Yanling knife of the Embroidery Guard. Shen Kuo had put it on when he joined the Embroidery Guard. It had been with him through life and death for many years. There are some traces of time left behind, but Shen Kuo took good care of this knife, and it is still extremely sharp even after so many years.

Shen Kuo, who was wiping the blade, suddenly felt his nose itchy, and wanted to sneeze very much, and the smell was a bit weird, why was it so fragrant, and why did the scent seem familiar, suddenly, Shen Kuo's face seemed to recall something , directly opened his mouth and shouted: "Hurry up! Wake up! Someone is attacking!!!" Worried that he would not be able to wake up some sleeping people, Shen Kuo deliberately incorporated a trace of his own true energy into the Sinicization, making its effect similar to that of Buddhism The Kung Fu of the lion's roar has the same effect.

With this roar, everyone in the temple suddenly woke up.Although he was still in a daze and couldn't distinguish the situation, he could hear the word "attack" clearly. He immediately got up and picked up the weapon in his hand. When Chen Zheng woke up, he immediately protected Chen Rui behind him. , the Seven Deadly Sins in his hand exuded a faint light.

The four people over there also woke up at this time, and the old man seemed to be telling the young men and women something in a low voice, and they could see the seriousness on their faces. Although the protected young man was pale, he was still very calm .

At this moment, the people outside seemed to have sensed that the people inside had woken up and no longer covered up. When the group felt a gust of wind coming, billows of thick smoke rushed towards their faces.

"Be careful! This is poisonous smoke! Quickly cover your mouth and nose." The old man among the four enthusiastically pointed out.

Chen Zheng and the others also hurriedly covered their mouths and noses, and at the same time channeled their true energy to prevent poisonous smoke from entering their bodies.A flash of clarity flashed in Shen Kuo's eyes, and it turned out to be poisonous smoke. Just now he felt that the smell seemed a little familiar, as if he had smelled it somewhere before, and then he suddenly remembered that it was a reconnaissance mission in Donglu. While drinking tea in the teahouse, there was a caravan outside, and suddenly there was such a thick smoke with a strange aroma, and those who accidentally fell into a deep coma would immediately fall into a deep coma.Fortunately, he was quick to react and dealt with it in time to survive, and finally he got out of the predicament after a fight, and he may still be a group of familiar opponents.

As soon as the thick smoke hit, there was a large sound of breaking through the air outside.Countless short arrows, darts, kunai, etc. flew in, mixed with some insects and the like. The people in the main hall did not show any weakness and directly used their own weapons to block them.

There are a lot of people on Chen Zheng's side, and there seems to be a lot of hidden weapons. No one has a special division of labor to deal with the small piece of ear in front of him, and soon covered it all. The four people saw that the old man threw the black cloth strip in his hand. Hu Shengfeng, a repulsive force formed between the rotations directly pushed those hidden weapons away, and it can be seen that this person's skill is not low with just one hand.

The next step is a very clichéd routine. After the smoke and hidden weapons pass, it is time for the attackers to reveal their true identities. The villains often have to test several times before showing up to realize their awesomeness. Yu is not willing to use his real kung fu, and often only remembers it when he is about to GG, ah, so he has some other big moves, but it is a pity that it is over, and was pushed by the protagonists one after another.

It was the same this time, the dilapidated gate of the main hall was finally overwhelmed and completely collapsed at this time, revealing the figure outside the gate.

There are dozens of neat figures in uniform, tight-fitting black night suits, forehead guards with unknown symbols on their foreheads, upper arms, lower leggings, weapons such as swords on their backs, and sticks on both sides of their legs. The dagger case, some people still hold a hook in their hands, their eyes are very calm, even if the characters in the main hall exceed the initial expectations, there is no trace of surprise in their eyes, and the reaction is still so flat, just like a hunter Treat prey in general.

Shen Kuo's memory of this familiar shape was still fresh, and he blurted out: "Fei Liu Ninja!"
