The goddess of the goddess

Chapter 15 The Stolen Wood

In the middle of the night, the full moon hangs high, and the cold moonlight shines on the earth through the thick fog, covering everything with a faint white light.

Ethereal, hazy, illusory, everything is unreal.

"In the middle of the night, the gates of the city won't be opened. Let's find a place to spend the night, shall we?"

After driving all night, they finally got rid of the pursuit, and the three of them were standing in the shadows under the city gate.

Looking at the dark and tall city wall shrouded in the night, and the arrows glowing with cold light in the arrows, I feel a little worried.

Xixue Country has an iron-blood law that has been passed down since the founding of the country, as long as it is dark, the gates of the city will not be opened.

If anyone dares to trespass, just wait for the dark arrow to pierce your heart!
And these secret arrows were all arranged by the dead guards of the founding emperor of Xixue Kingdom.

Up to now, it has a history of two to 300 years!

Legend has it that these dead men are immortals in myths and stories, who can ride clouds and fog, travel through time and space, and have an extremely long life span.

However, since the founding emperor died, these dead men evaporated from the world.

Hundreds of years have passed, and the strange thing is that Jiacheng's defense has not been weakened by half a point.

There are only a few people who die under this cold arrow every year. Since then, no one has dared to take advantage of the night to trespass.

All three of them looked at the city wall in the dark night, feeling worried.

The cold-faced Lixiang didn't say a word, and the peach-eyed boy Nangong Yehua didn't care at all, so the task of finding a place to stay fell on Youfeng.

But where to find it in the middle of the night?
Otherwise, make do with the corner, anyway, it's not far from Tianming.

However, this proposal was strongly opposed by Nangong Yehua. He said, "I have a noble status, how can I give in?" He insisted on forcing Youfeng to find him.

As much as you ask for!
Are they on the run, not traveling, and they keep loathing this and that, ordering her to do this and that without any politeness, and she is not his maid.

Helpless people saved your life, can you say no?

After Youfeng thought about it, he resigned himself to his fate and went to look for it in the dark.

It's so dark and there are no torches. Fortunately, it's a full moon tonight, otherwise I wouldn't be looking for a place to stay alone if I was killed.

When she walked for a while, she looked back and found that Li Xiang hadn't followed!
Who are these people? They really let her, a four or five-year-old child, go alone!

He waved his fist in the direction of the city gate angrily, and was immediately discouraged. The feeling of being in debt is really, so sad!

Resigned to his fate, he searched along the main road.

The pitch-black night was getting darker, and the bright moonlight was gradually covered by dark clouds, and the sky and the earth were slowly plunged into darkness.

The cold wind also blew, and the dark woods around made rustling noises, which was especially gloomy in this silent night.

You Feng looked at the sky that suddenly turned black, felt the cold wind blowing from all directions, and a sentence came to his mind unconsciously.

The night is dark and the wind is high to kill people, and it is midnight when the treasure is seized!

Suddenly scared cold sweat drenched the back.

I didn't feel it just now, but now I look at these trees that are swaying left and right and hidden in the darkness by the wind, like ghosts with teeth and claws, a kind of panic gradually spreads in my heart.

Without even thinking about it, he held his head and ran back. After running a long way, he gradually calmed down.

Because she was very lucky to see a ruined temple in front of her, and the shining fire reflected from it.

There is always a way out!

You Feng clasped his hands together and worshiped the sky devoutly. I don't know which kind of god it is here, but she thanked them all anyway.

She shouted that she must have saved the whole universe in previous lives, and the universe rewarded her for coming today.

After thanking him, he ran towards the ruined temple.

Running to the front of the temple, a strange feeling suddenly emerged, and he stopped naturally.

Her sixth sense has always been very accurate, which is a danger signal.

So he stepped lightly, held his breath, and quietly hid under the eaves of the ruined temple. With the light of the fire leaking from the broken window, Youfeng carefully looked inside.

A fire was piled up in the open space inside the ruined temple. The firewood was burning very vigorously, but there was no sound, and a man in blue clothes sat beside the fire.

Because he was sitting with his back to her and against the light, he could only see a blurry figure from the back, and couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.

Youfeng noticed that the man was not very old, but his back was straight, like a steep cliff, exuding an indifference that refused to be thousands of miles away.

Looking at his back, an unspeakable sadness suddenly surged in my heart.

"come out!"

With a sudden shout, You Feng was startled, and was about to obediently come out of the grass under the eaves, but two men in black appeared out of thin air in the ruined temple with only one person.

You Feng was startled again, and then relieved, it turned out that it wasn't her who was talking about.

However, she seemed to have seen the figures of the two men in black before.

Seeing that they were fighting all of a sudden, You Feng quickly held his breath, hid himself again, and stopped being distracted.

Through their fighting and turning around, Youfeng finally saw clearly whether the person in the blue clothes was a man or a woman, but he actually covered his face with a piece of light blue silk, and even covered most of his eyes.

You Feng looked at the sky with his eyes, and put his hand on his forehead. There are too many people in this world who cover their faces and do bad things!

She has seen it several times in the past few days!

The three of them shot like the wind, their moves were sharp and decisive, and there was no unnecessary movement. You Feng couldn't help but applaud them when watching from the sidelines.

However, the two black-clothed men were obviously more skilled, they seized a flaw, and slapped the blue-clothed man together.

The masked man in blue slammed into the pillar fiercely, red oozing out of the masked blue scarf, and at the same time the burning flames went out with a 'wow'.

Suddenly, the ruined temple was plunged into darkness.

The next moment, he felt that the grass not far away was being stepped on heavily, and the sound of the wind breaking through the air was obvious.

Someone ran out of the ruined temple!
The surroundings were so quiet that only the whistling wind could be heard, blowing constantly.

You Feng wasn't sure that all three of them had run away, but he still maintained a high level of vigilance, staying motionless in the grass.

After a long time, Youfeng felt that his legs were squatting almost unconscious, there was no sound around him, and even the sound of the wind gradually disappeared, so he was sure that the three people had left.

Out of a curiosity to explore, the cat stooped quietly into the ruined temple, because she heard a strange noise when they were fighting, like the sound of something falling to the ground, it was very soft, and for some reason, she Just heard it.

The heavens and the earth are so lingering, I hope they didn't find out, didn't find out!
The temple was very dark, and Youfeng groped the ground for a long time but couldn't find anything, instead he made himself ashamed.

Fortunately, the moon, which was covered by dark clouds, came out at this time, and immediately illuminated the dark ruined temple. Youfeng found the thing that fell beside the fire all at once.

How could that thing be a piece of wood?
No wonder she smelled a burnt smell from just now, she just thought it was the firewood that had not been completely extinguished in the fire.

Not allowing her to think too much, she hurriedly rescued it from the sparks, extinguished the flames that had ignited on it with a strong pat, ran to the window with several big holes in it, and looked at the scrambled area by the moonlight. of 'wood'.

However, before she had time to take another look, she sensed that someone was coming, so she quickly put it away and ran to the stone statue behind the ruined temple.

The moonlight illuminates the quiet ruined temple, surrounded by the sound of insects and footsteps.

As the door of the ruined temple was pushed open, You Feng's heart jumped in his throat.

They couldn't be the men in black just now, right?
Could it be that he found out that he robbed the wrong one and came back?
At this time, Youfeng clutched the piece of wood that had been picked up, and it was not right to go out, or not to go out, and was entangled for a while.

"Could it be that the little girl found a good place by herself and forgot about us?" The joking voice with a faint smile sounded very familiar.

Then she heard a familiar voice, "She won't!"

With the cold tone and concise words, one can imagine the coldness on the face of the speaker.

So this guy is not pretending to be cold!

You Feng immediately reacted and heaved a sigh of relief.

It turned out that they were the ones who scared her to death.

Just when You Feng was about to go out, he heard another sentence from them. He immediately straightened his waist and shrank back, taking his breath even more lightly.

"Those people last night..." It was Li Xiang's voice.

"Their goal is to be leftist!" Nangong Yehua said casually.

You Feng was startled when she heard it, she felt that these few words seemed to be said to her on purpose!
Did the two people sitting by the fire know that she was hiding behind the stone statue and picked up that thing?
But why not come and get it now?

With their force value, things are easy to get, right?

Before she could figure it out, they talked again.

"That thing..." There was regret in Li Xiang's words.

"Maybe, someone picked it up a long time ago!" Nangong Yehua said jokingly, turning his body to the side where she was hiding without leaving any traces.

"Pick it up?" Li Xiang asked in surprise.

"It may have been burned to ashes by this fire!"

Nangong Yehua's half-truths and half-false words shocked Li Xiang and hurriedly searched for them in the fire.

Judging from Li Xiang's reaction, it seemed that she didn't know that she was hiding here. Then, what did the son of King Duanqing mean by saying this?
You Feng stood motionless, holding his breath, almost unable to stand, but fortunately, it was almost dawn at this time, and they finally decided to leave.
