Red Heart Survey

"Fireproof and anti-theft, safe and sound at night!"

"Bang-bang! Bang! Bang!"

All the voices reached their ears, and the few people breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be a watchman!

On the contrary, the voice was slow and fast, indicating that it was already the fourth watch.

For playing more sound.

One slow and one fast, beating three times in a row is for falling watch, that is to say, it is night.

One sound after another, so many times in a row, it is the second watch.

Three is one slow and two fast, four is one slow and three fast, and five is one slow and four fast.

So just listening to the sound of the watchman knocking on the bamboo clapper is enough to know the time.

They didn't realize that they had done anything when they came to Kurongyuan, and they spent so much time there unknowingly.

But as soon as he thought about it, his heart rose again.

The Kurongyuan has been abandoned for many years, and there is no human habitation nearby. Why would there be a watchman?

The three of them are all well-cultivated, not timid, and they are not very surprised by any ghosts and monsters.

It's just that they have just experienced Jiang Wang's strange distress, which inevitably makes them a little wary.

Several people looked at each other.

Fourteen wore a Yue armor and walked in front without making a sound.

Jiang Wang had already pressed his sword, and Chong Xuansheng followed on the left and right respectively, forming a formation of small three talents naturally, which was a tacit understanding on the battlefield.

As I said before, there is a pool of stagnant water outside the ruins of Kurongyuan. It is said that it is a big pit left after the mountain was pulled up and the Buddha was melted, and it was filled by rain.

Just after the three of them walked out of the ruins, they saw a slightly rickety person standing beside the pool of stagnant water with their backs to them. Wearing an old fur hat, wrapped in a torn jacket, holding a lantern made of white paper in his hand, hanging above the pool.

Fourteen was wearing heavy armor, and he didn't deliberately control it while he was ready to go. When he walked, it was inevitable that he would make the sound of the armor rubbing against each other.

"who?"

The man by the pool turned his head sharply. Illuminated by the pale light, on an aging face, the eyes are wide open, but there is no trace of expression - he is blind!

Dead water, blind man, white lantern...

But his hand still didn't stop, he was still beating on the bamboo clapper.

"Bang-bang! Bang! Bang!"

Fourth watch!

"Passerby." Chong Xuansheng said with a suppressed voice.

The rickety blind man stopped knocking on his clapper and said: "Don't bully me, I'm blind, I'm smart!"

From him, I can't detect any cultivation base.

But as soon as these words came out, the invisible pressure was felt by the three of them.

In Tongtian Palace, Jiang Yan's voice suddenly came out from the dark candle: "If I were you, I would run away from here as soon as possible, and don't care about anything!"

Jiang Yan's voice was very cautious.

With the speed of the flame meteor explosion, he might indeed have escaped faster than Chong Xuansheng and Shishi.

But Jiang Wang just held on to the hilt of the sword tightly, ignoring Jiang Yan's suggestion: "Don't dare to lie to the old man, we will go back soon."

The body of the watchman remained motionless, and the white lantern seemed to be frozen in the air.

He only asked slowly, "Do you know where this is?"

Jiang Wang is indeed more sincere and easier to trust. Therefore, Chong Xuansheng also remained silent, allowing Jiang Wang to negotiate.

Jiang Wang thought for a while and replied, "The ruined temple site."

"Have you ever seen anything?"

"What you see in your eyes is ruins. What you see in your heart is just a barrier!"

The watchman asked again: "Do you know the way back?"

"Remember clearly!"

What Jiang Wang said was indeed not half false.

The watchman paused for a while before saying, "Be careful on the road and don't disturb the neighbors."

After finishing speaking, he pulled the white paper lantern aside, as if to guide and illuminate the way for the three of them.

"Thank you, old man." Jiang Wang said, and wanted to pass by.

Chongxuansheng asked abruptly: "Why is the old man holding up the white lantern? It seems to be offering sacrifices?"

Da Geng said humanely: "Perhaps the paint is off. I am blind and can't see."

Chong Xuansheng said: "Where does the old man live? Later, I will send someone to come to your door and touch up the paint for you."

The watchman raised the white lantern in front of his eyes, as if his blind eyes could vaguely perceive some colors of the world.

However, the light of the white lantern shone on his wrinkled face, which looked extraordinarily strange.

He said slowly: "If you are sincere, you might as well go home with me, and we will make love at this time."

Chong Xuansheng shrank back: "No need, it's more important for the old man to fight."

Not much to say at the moment, the three of them left here vigilantly, seemingly casually.

...

After walking far away, when I turned around, I could no longer see the light of the white lantern.

Chong Xuansheng said solemnly: "There are really weird things in Kurongyuan, otherwise there is no need to specially arrange an unfathomable watchman here."

Fighting is just a very common job, but after all, what you eat is the emperor's food, and in a sense, you also belong to the people in the government.

And the watchmen are also divided into levels.

As we all know, in addition to telling the time and reminding people of fire prevention and anti-theft, the watch also has another function-exorcism.

When it comes to transcendence, ordinary watchmen certainly can't do this.

The watchman outside the ruins of Kurongyuan should be the most terrifying one.

With the current strength of Jiang Wang and others, they can't see the depth at all.

What kind of secret is it that after so many years after the Kurongyuan was razed, there are still such powerful watchmen patrolling?

And why, it can trigger the change of the swastika and torture the heart?

Of course Jiang Wang knew why Chong Xuansheng paid so much attention to this issue.

The "weirdness" in Kurongyuan is probably related to his father's changes in the past.

Jiang Wang asked in Tongtian Palace: "Do you know anything about the watchman just now?"

Jiang Yan reminded him to escape just now, so he must have made some judgments.

However……

Mingzhu didn't move at all, and Jiang Yan didn't say a word.

Heh, quite a temper.

"I can only leave it for now." Jiang Wang said seriously.

If you don't have enough strength, it's useless to think about anything.

Chong Xuansheng also nodded: "I know."

He turned to ask: "I didn't have time to ask just now, what did you gain in Kurongyuan? I feel that your breath is more agile and your momentum is more stable."

"Life and death are dry and prosperous, and life and death are like turning around. The Kurongyuan must have been a great place back then." Jiang Wang said: "My Taoist heart has become firmer, and at the same time I have noticed some problems in myself."

He had a clear understanding in his heart: "Shouyuan is not perfect enough. This will be a pass that hinders my further cultivation."

After questioning my heart and having a clear conscience.

While strengthening his Dao heart, he realized his own regrets.

Although there is a longevity pill and a longevity fruit, the lifespan spent by performing the white bone escape method in Fenglin City at the beginning has not been fully compensated.

Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why he was unable to reach the limit in the Tongtian Realm at that time.

This is still the shortcoming of lacking the guidance of famous teachers. Many problems can only be discovered after encountering a wall, even after encountering a broken head. When Chong Xuansheng sent the longevity fruit back then, he thought it would make up for his regrets, but in fact it was not enough.

Chong Xuansheng nodded and said: "If the problem can be found, it can be solved. If you need anything, feel free to tell me."

Fourteen was wearing heavy armor and stepped silently on the long street.

...

The three of them quickly blended into the night in Linzi.

And in the vast night behind them, a white paper lantern flashed past.

"Bang-bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Fifth watch.
