Chapter 173 Reasons
Tenmei
Bai Jian led a group of strangers out of the painting wall.

Song Heqingdao looked at the charred painting wall, his eyes flashed across everyone's faces, but he did not see Yinchuan.

"Where's Yinchuan?"

Bai Jian looked back and hesitated to speak.

Song Heqing escorted Zhao Yin and came to the mural, "It's broken now, where did you get Yinchuan?"

Zhao Yin chuckled, "You have ruined my good deeds and I still want to tell you? Just dream."

Song Heqing grabbed Zhao Yin's collar and threw him against the wall. People on the side tried to avoid him.

Suddenly someone tugged at the corner of his clothes. Song Heqing turned around and saw a young and handsome boy pulling him.

"..."

"Xiao Song, it's me."

Song Heqing: "..."

The young man looked at him with big scarlet eyes, "My, my Yinchuan."

Song Heqing gradually frowned, "You...Yinchuan?"

"Yeah." The young man took Song Heqing's arm and tried to put his head on his shoulder.

Song Heqing pushed it away, "What are you doing?"

"Are you so big that you still want to hang on my shoulders?"

Yinchuan looked at Song Heqing's shoulder in embarrassment, "What should we do?"

"Stand still!" What should I do?
"Oh."

Zhao Yin took the opportunity to break free and rush towards the person on the side.

Jian Bai immediately rushed forward and knocked Zhao Yin away with a palm, "You still want to make a sneak attack in front of me."

Zhao Yin fell to the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His originally handsome appearance gradually took on the appearance of a snake.

"Monster!" The people on the side backed away in fright, and crawled out.Originally, I had to wait for Song Heqing and the others to leave together, but now I can't take care of it.

After everyone who could leave had left, the room became empty.

"Why did you hurt those people?" Zhao Yin asked with the sword pressed against his neck.

Zhao Yin raised his eyes and looked at the blackened painting wall, "Do you think what you saw before was an illusion?"

"What do you mean?" Song Heqing looked at him doubtfully.

In an instant, the ancient temple returned to its quiet and intact appearance. Zhao Yin stroked the wall and chuckled: "All of this was rebuilt. What you saw before is what it has suffered before."

Song Heqing thought of the dilapidated appearance of the ancient temple when he saw it before, and remained silent.

"Originally, this place was so prosperous, but then..."

"The world is changing, the world is impermanent, and it is inevitable that the incense will wither. Could this be the reason for you to want to kill someone?"

"It's just like this, how can I hold a grudge to this day?" Zhao Yin stared at Song Heqing and asked.

"Then make it clear, why are you yelling?" Yinchuan stood aside and said unhappily.

Thirty years ago, this was a relatively run-down county, isolated from the world. An ancient temple was built here, and people could worship without paying for incense.

There is an endless stream of people coming and going.

Miraculously, many people find that most of the wishes they make in ancient temples can come true, unless there are some unreasonable requests.

Ten years later, Xishui County gradually developed. Most people lived a good life, and there were more places for entertainment. People began to forget the ancient temples they once had to cross the threshold to enter.

The caretaker of the ancient temple had no intention of living here permanently, so he handed over the ancient temple to the two little snakes of Zhaoyin and Zhaoxuan who were still practicing in the ancient temple at that time.

Zhaoxuan and Zhaoyin were enlightened by the man and successfully transformed into human forms, staying to guard the ancient temple.

The two lived peacefully in the ancient temple for almost ten years. Because the ancient temple was empty but still clean, many people felt that it was unclean and did not dare to come back.

Gradually this place became a taboo place for people.

One day suddenly a group of children broke in.

"My mother said there are monsters inside, do you dare to enter?"

"What's not to dare?"

"Let's go. Whoever dares to go in is a coward!"

Half-year-old children were running around inside, not knowing how to help themselves when they bumped into things. They just ran around like crazy and even scrawled graffiti on the stone statues.

Zhao Yin was a little angry and turned into his original shape to scare them. A big snake several meters long suddenly appeared. The children were so frightened that they screamed and stumbled away.

A child was pushed into a small pond. The pond was not deep, but it was enough to kill a panicked child.

Zhao Yin didn't care about them, Zhao Xuan was kind-hearted, and seeing this, she turned into a human and rescued the child.

He also sent the child outside the ancient temple.

I thought that after this fright, the children would never dare to come again, but who knew they would still dare to come.

Hearing that snakes were afraid of realgar, they took wine and sprinkled it inside and outside the courtyard, and set fire to the ancient temple. The wind was strong that night, and with the wine, the fire spread to the entire courtyard in an instant.

Zhao Yin and Zhao Xuan were just little snakes transformed by human spiritual power. They had no magic power and could only be trapped in them and engulfed in tongues of fire.

Zhaoxuan used the snake's tail to hold the unconscious Zhaoyin in the air to avoid being burned to death.

When it rained after midnight, it turned into ashes, leaving nothing behind.

Zhao Yin fell to the ground and woke up, only to see Zhao Xuan with half of his tail left.

And those children no longer knew where they were. He didn't even remember their faces, let alone where to look for them.
But the children are all about the same age, and they should all live near the city gate. This is certain information.

It's not that he didn't think about letting the entire county be buried with Zhao Xuan, but Zhao Yin finally felt compassion.

Let's start from the same age over there.

Zhao Yin found the county magistrate who was at that time, became his guest and pen official, and slowly gained their trust.

Later, she also saw the case of the ancient temple being burned down. There were only a few strokes, the grass and trees were dry, and the fire started.

He is in the government office for this year's household registration.

Near the edge of the city, people of similar age were all recorded in his writings, and they all became people who were about to die.

Everyone who matches the age and identity will disappear after recording the information.

It is better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to let one person go.

"No, since you don't even have the ability to escape, how can you master spells, formations, and murals in just a few years... Are you lying, or is someone secretly helping you?"

Speaking of this, Song Heqing recalled in his mind the person who trapped them in the demon world the night before.

"What does it have to do with you?" Zhao Yin said coldly: "If you want to kill or cut them up, it's up to you, but as long as I'm alive, don't expect me to let them go."

"If I'm not wrong, the man who built the temple came back to you. Most of what you learned later came from that person."

Looking at the intact ancient temple in front of him, Song Heqing continued: "This ancient temple was rebuilt when he came back later, but in order to prevent people from noticing its strangeness, the ancient temple was set up with illusions to make people think that it had once been The dilapidated appearance caused by fire?”

Zhao Yin looked at him silently.

Song Heqing knew that her guess was right.

Everything is being done secretly by the stranger, and we must find a way to know who that person is.
