Six Paths Nightmare Palace

Chapter 3 Meeting a Girl in an Ancient Temple
Next to a khaki dirt road, a dilapidated temple with a small hall collapsed.

Several people dressed as woodcutters, in the partially intact hall, were talking in a low voice around the fire.

In the middle of the fire, a few black sticks were holding a black-yellow iron pot, and something was cooking in it, and the strong aroma of food was heard from time to time.

Not far from the woodcutters, there is a young scholar and a 12-year-old boy.

The scholar sat on the small stool, holding a scroll in his hand, and looked at it shaking his head.

The book boy sat directly on the clean stone steps nearby, nibbling on a piece of dry food made of coarse grains, showing a bitter look that was hard to swallow from time to time.

On the offering table in the center of the hall, there was an unknown statue of a god whose face was somewhat blurred.

The statue is dressed in green armor, holding a long brass ge, with wings on the back, covered with dust and spider webs, and looks very ferocious.

Suddenly, a cloudy wind blew from outside the temple gate, blowing the bonfire in the temple to the side, and the temperature in the temple became icy cold.

The three woodcutters felt a chill all over their body, and their hands and feet became weak.

"Hey, it's a little weird!" The scholar who was reading, his face changed slightly, and he couldn't help looking out of the temple gate.

"Master, what's the matter, is there something unclean?" The book boy who was nibbling on the dry food with his head lowered, was refreshed when he heard this, with a look of eagerness on his face.

"I'm not sure yet, but just to be careful, take out my jade book. If there is such a shock, ordinary ghosts should not be able to approach." commanded.

"Yes." The book boy immediately jumped up from the stone steps, walked a few steps to the bookcase behind the scholar, and pulled out something wrapped in yellow cloth, with faint white light shining through.

After the book boy put the cloth bag next to the scholar, he looked around with excitement.

Strange to say, the gloomy and cold air in the temple really slowly faded as the white light of the cloth flickered, and after a while, the entire temple returned to normal temperature.

"God, it's the Immortal Master!"

"It's really an immortal master, and only an immortal master can have such a treasure!"

Several woodcutters witnessed this scene, and they all showed extremely surprised expressions. Six eyes stared at the cloth bag for a few times, and then the eyes of the two scholars became very awe-inspiring, and the voice of the conversation became even lower. Three points.

Seeing this, the scholar sighed, tossed the scroll in his hand into the bookcase behind him, stood up and wanted to say something.

But at this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall, and then a figure stumbled into the hall from the outside. After only a few steps, he fell directly to the ground and fell unconscious.

The scholar took a closer look and found that this person was actually a petite woman, wearing a green shirt, covered with scars, and her hands and fingers were even more bloody, as if she had just been tortured.

When the three woodcutters saw this, they were naturally dumbfounded, and the book boy was equally astonished.

Only the scholar kept a bit of calm, and after taking a careful look at the green-robed woman's body, he gave an order without turning his head:
"Wu Wu, what are you still doing, don't hurry up to help people and take out my Chunhua Dan."

"Young Master, there are only the last two Chunhua Pills left, do you really want to use them for her?" The little book boy named Shiwu finally came to his senses, showing a bit of hesitation.

"How can a mere healing medicine be compared with human life?" The scholar replied without hesitation.

"Young master, you will pretend to be generous. Well, you are the master anyway, and everything is up to you."

Hearing this, the book boy could only agree with a bitter face, then quickly pulled out a small white bottle from the bookcase, and stepped forward to support the green-robed woman against a pillar of the hall.

"Ah" yelled.

The book boy just lifted the green-clothed woman up, and after subconsciously looking at the other's face, he sat down on the ground in shock.

The scholar saw the green-robed woman's face, although he did not scream, his pupils shrank slightly.

The upper part of the face of the woman in front of her is the same as that of an ordinary woman of sixteen or seventeen years old. It can even be said that the skin is white, tender and delicate, and the eyebrows are picturesque, but the part of the mouth from the nose down is a hideous beast with yellow and green stripes. The mouth and cheeks on both sides are also furry animal hair.

"monster!"

The three woodcutters also saw the face of the green-clothed woman, and they were so frightened that they rushed out of the hall and ran away without looking back.

"Monstrous beast? No, there is no demonic energy on her body, otherwise I would have discovered it immediately. Could it be a half-demon? This is a bit possible, but it is said that a half-demon has amazing natural mana, and this woman has the slightest fluctuation in mana. No, like a mortal? Unless..."

The scholar didn't care about the actions of those woodcutters, instead he stared at the terrifying face of the green-clothed girl, revealing a brooding look.

Seeing that the scholar didn't say anything, the boy could only get up again. After swallowing a few saliva, he bravely gave the woman the medicine pill in the vial, took out a gourd from his arms, and poured a few sips of water down it. .

It seems that the effect of Chunhua Dan is amazing. After a while, the woman in green slowly woke up from the coma. She first looked around in panic, and then seemed to understand something. After a sigh of relief, she barely stood up and rushed to the scholar. Lian Jun bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, but the little girl must leave this place immediately, or she will bring disaster to her."

Although the woman's face is scary and scary, her voice is surprisingly gentle and sweet.

"Who is the girl, and what is the matter with these injuries?"

"I'm afraid the little girl doesn't have time to tell her grace, she really has to leave immediately." The girl gave a miserable smile, then struggled to stand up and walked outside the palace gate.

Seeing this, the scholar's eyes flashed a few times, but he didn't say anything else.But at this moment, three screams were faintly heard from outside the main hall. Listening to the sound, it seemed that it was the three woodcutters who had just left.

"No, they're chasing after them." The animal-faced girl suddenly turned pale when she heard the voice, and after a few steps, she wanted to grab the door and leave.But after only going out a few feet, he fell to the ground again with a "pop".

"With your injury, where can you go now?" Seeing this, the scholar shook his head.

At this time, outside the gate of the temple, there was a large gloomy gray mist that seemed to cover the entire temple.

The beast-faced girl saw the situation outside the temple gate, her face was full of despair, and she knew that it was too late to escape at this time.

The book boy blinked and looked at the gate of the palace with curiosity.

After the scholar turned his head to look at the statue on the offering table, he looked at the mist outside the temple gate, and couldn't help sighing. Just as he was about to say something to the girl, there were bursts of low-pitched ghosts crying in the mist outside, followed by kicks and kicks. The sound of footsteps came.

The scholar was silent for a moment.

The billowing mist outside the temple gate suddenly split to the sides, and four weirdos wearing different masks walked in from the outside.

The first two were wearing cyan bronze armor, one was tall with a cyan cow-face mask, and the other was thin with a yellow horse-face mask.

The latter two were graceful, they were actually two plump women, but they wore more hideous skull masks on their faces, only one was blue and the other was red.
