It's the beauty that brings disaster. I'm also desperate.

dusk.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the still bustling streets and alleys of Yanzheng City.

A large, extremely gorgeous animal carriage came speeding from the direction of the imperial palace. The driver shouted loudly as it passed through the crowded road. The noble lady in the carriage lifted the curtain and looked out.

Her face was dignified and calm, but there was panic and anxiety in her eyes.

At that time, most of the pedestrians on the road were about to go home, their faces showing fatigue and a little relaxation after a whole day's work... The owners of large and small shops were counting today's profits, and the sounds of bargaining during transactions were still going on.

not far away.

In a restaurant, five or three friends were drinking together and laughing.

It can be said that:

The setting sun shines through willows in half of the city, and the scenery at Wengtou is filled with peach blossoms.

The peaceful scene of the eternal holy city, which one should it be in midsummer?

Shengsheng couldn't help but feel emotional...

While expressing her emotion, she did not forget the most important thing at the moment.

Walking slowly towards the majestic and solemn Rain Master Temple, the guard stopped them and asked the same question as yesterday, the day before and the day before... This time, without waiting for the other party to say anything, "If there is no order from the Rain Master, please go back."

Before the other party could speak, Shengsheng took out the stone slab.

The guard who had just said "Stop!" was startled...

——There’s hope!

The girl was overjoyed.

It was at this moment that the sun set and the last ray of afterglow disappeared.

A light white mist appears with the night.

Xia Li immediately handed the stone slab to Si Xin. She could not touch the stone slab alone at night and had to get help from Chan'er to ensure her own safety.

When the stone slab is delivered to Chan'er, the spiritual field sealing array that she has already prepared will seal off all contact between the stone slab and the outside world...

The purpose of this time has been achieved.

Although the guard didn't say a word, his sudden pause and the seriousness in his expression... were enough for Sheng Sheng to conclude that this stone slab was exactly what was necessary to enter the temple - the Rain Master's Order!

When the sun rises tomorrow, they will come again and can enter smoothly.

I thought happily in my heart.

"He who comes is stopped!"

Simultaneously.

Shengsheng also heard the guard's repeated questions.

The other party's memory was indeed reset, and they were regarded as people who had just come in. Shengsheng was about to apologize and leave. She didn't plan to enter the temple at night, among a pile of skeletons that she didn't know how dangerous it was.

So just like he had done many times before, Shengsheng was ready to leave.

"Wait a minute."

at this time.

A very pleasant voice suddenly floated from afar...

The owner of this voice deliberately used a solemn and majestic tone, but because her voice was so gentle, the end of every slight pause seemed to be like still water with a ripple blown away by the breeze.

It creates subtle ripples in the hearts of those who hear it.

Circle after circle.

"Since you have the order from the Rain Master, please come in."

Before the Shengsheng sisters could do anything else, that extremely pleasant and gentle female voice sounded again.

The moment she opened her mouth, Si Xin exclaimed.

It turned out that the secret stone tablet that was tightly sealed in the magic circle in her palm was suddenly pulled by a huge force and flew towards the direction of the temple.

When it flew in front of the palace gate, the gate that had been closed opened completely...

Simultaneously.

The stone slab turned into a beam of white light and fell into the temple.

Xia Li quickly raised his eyes and looked inside...only to see that there was only one person inside, so it's not accurate to call it a person.

Because it was a very special skeleton made of jade.

Chapter 42: Chan'er went nowhere, and there was no trace of her

Yes.

Unlike those guards of the shrine, there was actually a jade skeleton sitting inside the shrine facing the palace gate.

The secret stone tablet, or the Rain Master's Order, flew into his arms and stopped...

Shengsheng's heart shuddered.

I have already guessed the other party's identity. As expected, this jade bone should be one of the four immortal leaders, the guardian of the Rain Master Temple - the Rain Master!

The Rain Master is very strong, so strong that it is hard to describe.

If there is a comparison, Xia Li feels that even the former Feng He Granny, the Queen Nuwa who is recognized by all races for her bravery, did not give her such a dangerous feeling... Yes, it is the kind of terrifying feeling that keeps rising from the depths of her soul.

After all, Shengsheng is a great Taiyi monk of the seventh realm.

When Di Fenghe was alive, she did not have the cultivation she has now. She felt very insignificant next to him. Fenghe and her mother-in-law were like a mountain whose peak could not be reached.

And this moment.

Sheng Sheng, who is at the Taiyi realm, feels even more insignificant in front of the immortal official [Rain Master] than he did before.

In her perception, the other side was no longer a towering mountain to look up to, but a group of mountains with neither the peak nor the edge to be seen... She didn't know how tall it was, nor how long it stretched!

"Chan'er, let's go in."

They couldn't run away, they were locked by the Rain Master's spiritual sense.

If he walked in calmly, he would be considered a legitimate tourist who entered with a ticket. If he turned around and ran away, everyone would guess that he must have something to hide, and he would also lose a secret stone tablet for no reason!

so......

Even if this temple is a dragon pond, Shengsheng must go in and try his luck.

The two of them climbed the stairs, walking neither fast nor slow.

When they were in front of the gate of the shrine, due to the close distance, Shengsheng could clearly see the "appearance" of Yu Shi... The so-called appearance naturally referred to the bone structure.

The corrupting power of the catastrophe was so strong that not even all the guards near the shrine could escape, and they were left withered and dilapidated beyond recognition.

The dark yellow bone marrow remained on the gray-black bones, leaving only the old scars.

No matter how many times I look at it, I still feel disgusted...

But [Rain Master] is different.

Her bones were slender and complete, and the closer you got, the clearer you could see them. Every inch of them seemed to be made of colored glaze crystal, and there was even a faint jade-colored glow flowing on them... When she sat upright, one could tell that she was a jade skull.

It also gave Xia Li the illusion of being dignified and majestic.

"Master Rain Master."

Shengsheng bowed in front of the door.

Huanchan followed suit and shouted as well.

The Jade Skull nodded.

"Don't be so polite. Come in."

——This Rain Master...seems quite gentle.

Even though the other person was just a skeleton, the girl couldn't help but have this thought in her mind.

She laughed at herself.

I thought it must be because the voice was too soft, and at the same time I was secretly reminded to be vigilant. You can only judge a person by his appearance but not his heart... There are many monks who have a gentle voice and a kind temperament but turn out to be extremely vicious and evil.

With this cautious mentality, the Xia Li sisters finally stepped into the temple hand in hand.

“Sister, be careful—!”

I don't know.

As soon as he stepped in, before his back foot had even set foot on the ground, Si Xin shouted loudly.

Shengsheng was horrified.

He secretly thought, damn it, this immortal official Rain Master really has evil intentions!

But at this moment, how could she see the other person... The inside of the temple was pitch black, and with Sheng Sheng's eyesight at the first level, it was difficult for her to see everything around her.

The scarier part is more than that...

Just as she was secretly cursing the Rain Master for harboring evil intentions, a strong gust of cold wind blew towards her fontanelle, making her dizzy. When she regained consciousness, she became slightly more sober.

It was clearly her hand that was tightly clasped with Chan'er's before.

There is nothing left.

"Chan'er! Chan'er!"

"————Chan'er!"

This time, Shengsheng was really panicked.

She ignored the danger of this strange and unknown environment, kept shouting, and kept groping forward into the unknown darkness, intending to find her sister...

It was a pity that Chan'er, who would always respond immediately upon hearing her call, was silent.

She was extremely anxious.

I kept searching and shouting in this seemingly endless darkness. I didn't know how long I shouted, but I didn't give up until my voice became hoarse.

She ran wildly in the darkness, not moving forward, but wandering around repeatedly.

But because it was too dark in her vision, the girl wasn't sure whether her sense of direction was completely correct... But she couldn't care less, she had to find Si Xin.

If they separate, if they separate...

In such a strange Yanzheng City, I’m afraid we will never find each other again!

--absolute!

——This kind of thing must never be allowed to happen!

I don't know how long I ran. This was the first time Xia Li felt so tired since she was promoted to Taiyi. The feeling of weakness kept surging out from the depths of her soul, eroding her will... But she didn't give up, until she was finally conscious and tripped over a hard object.

Is it a rock, a broken rock, or a tree root...

she does not know.

The moment the girl fell, she fainted.

......

A faint fragrance mixed in the breeze, and this fragrance startled Xia Li's consciousness which was sinking into the darkness.

——Is it Chan'er? !

She forced her heavy eyelids open and tried to look over.

But just then...

"you're awake."

A gentle question came from the other side. Although the person deliberately lowered his voice and used a solemn tone, his voice was too soft.

Therefore, it still carries the gentle and tender feeling of flowing water under a bridge.

Open your eyes.

A woman in white clothes as white as snow was sitting cross-legged about ten feet away.

She covered her face with a veil, revealing only a pair of bright eyes.

She had her hair in an old-fashioned but extremely dignified ancient fairy bun... This hairstyle had been out of use in the era of Emperor Chu Yu. Even if unmarried female cultivators wanted to appear elegant and graceful, they would still wear a fairy bun.
