The statue is a man in a green robe, with long beards and eyebrows, looking like a fairy, he is holding a bouquet of flowers in his left hand, the flowers are real flowers, at first glance, they have just been picked, the petals are delicate and stretched, and there are a few crystal dewdrops on it.
In his right hand, he holds a ball of silk thread, which is carved out of wood, but it must have come from the hand of a skilled craftsman, and each thread is slender and three-dimensional, as if it were real.
There was no tablet in front of the statue, and Jiang Xixi had no way of knowing who this man was, she knelt on the futon and bowed three times, muttering to herself, "Although I don't know your name, but you are willing to provide me with a place to shelter from the rain, you must be a good fairy, Jiang Xixi thanked me here." ” With that, she went outside and sat by the door, looking up at the strings of water curtains under the eaves.
The rain was dripping, and unconsciously, Jiang Xixi fell asleep, and in her dream, the sword and sword shadows, the fire soared, and she returned to the mountain where she lived in her childhood, stepping on the corpses all over the ground and running in the mountains and forests.
A long back suddenly appeared in front of her, she smiled, joy soaked every cell, desperately stretched out her hand forward, she shouted: "My lord, my lord, I am here." ” Cheng Muyou turned his head, his face was as warm as jade, and he stretched out a hand at her, "Pity, come here." ” However, there was a sudden pain on the surface of her feet, and something sharp cut through her skin, Jiang Xixi gasped and looked down: those dead bodies came to life, they had long sharp nails, and they grabbed her ankles hard, preventing her from stepping forward.
There was the neighing of horses in her ears, Jiang Xi was very excited, and woke up from her dream, she rubbed her eyes: strange, why are there so many stones in the courtyard, black and gray, round, there are more than 100 of them, all over the corners of the temple.
"Hiss" The sound of the horse's cry caught her attention, it was wrong, it was high-pitched and high, full of fear, and Jiang Xi looked at the horse tied to the pillar, and found that its hooves were chopping around on the ground, as if it was hiding from something.
A few small gray creatures were scurrying back and forth between its hooves, and two of them were crawling down the horse's back, baring their white, sharp teeth and biting down on the horse's back.
The horse neighed again, and suddenly broke free from the reins, and galloped towards the outside of the courtyard, and in a few moments its sturdy body disappeared into the rain and mist.
Before she could chase it out, Jiang Xixi's feet hurt again, she lowered her head and found that the boots had been bitten open a slit, and a small furry animal was burrowing its head into the slit and biting her delicate flesh with sharp teeth.
Only now did she finally struggle out of her dreams and completely understand her situation.
On her shoes, there was a rat lying on her stomach, not only that, but the stones scattered in the temple were also rats, more than a hundred, except for the one who charged, the others were crouching in the corner, staring at her.
Is she their prey?
Jiang Xixi didn't know, because she had neatly drawn her sword out of the sheath and cut off the little cub who was licking her own blood with one sword.
The mouse's body segment is divided into two sections, bursting out in both directions, but its slender tail is still waging up and down, as if unwilling to be in a different place.
Jiang Xixi's hand holding the sword couldn't stop shaking, or to put it this way, her whole body trembled, including those hairs that stood straight up, she wasn't afraid, she hadn't seen a more bloody and scary scene than this, but seeing this dense mouse, another feeling suddenly came to her heart.
Disgusting.
That's right, women seem to have a natural aversion to rats, this kind of thing that lives in the dark, not big, but greedy and cruel, for example, now, in the face of people so much bigger than themselves, they have the idea of sneak attack.
The sword was raised high, and a strong killing intent suddenly rose in her heart, yes, in the face of such things, it seemed that only by cutting them all off could she suppress the disgusting nausea in her heart.
However, at the very moment when she rushed out of the eaves, the rats in the courtyard suddenly stood up straight, landed on their feet, and turned their little pointed ears to the west a few times, and then, at the same time, they flattened their bodies and rushed towards the temple.
Her gray back hair was blackened by the rain, and she had goosebumps coming out.
Jiang Xi felt sorry for the enemy, she watched this turbulent gray "tide" rushing towards her, and she was ready to fight to the death with them.
"Chirp chirp" The rats scrambled up the steps and ran in front of Jiang Xixi, but just as her long sword was about to fall, they turned a corner, clinging to her feet and running straight over, jumping over the threshold, burrowing into the main hall, crawling along the legs of the table where the statue was enshrined to the table, and then pounced on the wooden base of the statue, and gnawed desperately with teeth sharper than a knife.
Statue?
Their target is the statue?
Jiang Xixi looked at the scene in front of him in confusion, and the hand holding the sword fell softly.
However, in the next moment, she had already flown onto the table, brandishing her long sword and slashing at the statue.
When she was a child, her father always asked her to target the nuts on the tree, and if the nuts were separated from the middle, she would be appreciated by her father.
Compared with nuts, these mice are much bigger, Jiang Xixi's long sword flew up and down on the sculpture, cutting all those mice in half, and the gray-black body "snapped" and fell on the table, splashing pieces of blood.
Finally, there was only one mouse left on the statue, lying on the top, its small black eyes looking at the corpse of its own kind that was broken in two below.
Jiang Xixi sneered, and the long sword flew straight towards it.
"Poof".
It was pierced in the belly, and its body flew out with a sword, nailed straight to a wooden door behind the statue.
"So there's a secret door here."
Jiang Xixi walked over and was about to pull out the sword, but the wooden door "squeaked" and was opened from the inside.
A young girl in a pink and purple dress flashed out of it, her movements were a little flustered, and she almost hit the sharp sword on the wooden door, and when she saw the bloody mouse on the blade of the sword, she was so frightened that she squatted on the ground with her head in her hands, and screamed a few times in her mouth.
Jiang Xixi hurriedly pulled the sword from the wooden door, and after getting rid of the mouse in disgust, she helped the girl up, and was about to tell the truth, but found that a figure flashed in the crack of the door, although it was only a glance, she still saw the person clearly, it was a man, a man without clothes.
