It was a dilapidated small temple, which had been severely eroded by wind and rain. The original regulation and purpose could only be vaguely seen from the sacrificial animals remaining on the eaves.
Standing in front of the Temple in the Rain, neither Chen Changsheng nor Xu Yourong spoke, they were very quiet.
This is a sacrificial temple.
The white grass is the road, leading directly to the sea of stars, and it is a sacrifice for a thousand miles.
This dilapidated temple is on the side of Baicao Road, which shows that their guess is correct. This road does lead to a certain tomb—not all tombs can be called mausoleums. As the emperor, only one person dared to call his tomb a mausoleum, and built it according to regulations, and no one dared to have any opinions.
That person is of course Zhou Dufu.
"Is this the legendary Temple of the First Sacrifice?" Chen Changsheng murmured as he looked at the dilapidated temple in the night rain.
The three imperial mausoleums of the Great Zhou Dynasty each have their own magnificence, but only the first worship temple thousands of miles away has already been demolished by the Holy Empress at the risk of the world. Because Niangniang felt that a temple thousands of miles away was meaningless and extremely wasteful except for raising a group of useless officials from the Ministry of Rites.
This matter was as clean and neat as she had sent Zhou Tong to tear down the stele in Tianshu Mausoleum, very reasonable and unreasonable.
This dilapidated small temple should be the only first worship temple in the entire continent.
The night rain continued to fall, getting bigger and bigger. The light cluster on the grassland in the distance had long since disappeared without a trace, and the world was dark.
Chen Changsheng stood in the rain with Xu Yourong on his back, and didn't go into that temple to take shelter from the rain. He didn't know why.
In the past, there must have been many great human practitioners or strong demons, like them, found this white grass road and saw this temple.
Then, those people continued to march towards the tomb.
In the end, all died.
"Can we turn back?" he asked.
"No, this is a road from which there is no turning back." Xu Yourong shook his head.
The previous two times when Chen Changsheng was asleep, she used the horoscope to perform deduction, and the result of the deduction was very bad. Although her own fate could not be calculated accurately, his fate was still gloomy, and if they stopped moving forward, Instead, if you look back, you will definitely get lost in this grassland.
They can only go forward, so will they usher in the same ending as those predecessors
In front of the temple, there was no sound except the sound of pattering rain.
The expressions of Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong gradually became calm, their eyes gradually became calm, and they became calm again.
There was no question or answer, no look at each other, no idea what each other thought, but they all firmly believed that they would be different from those before them.
…
…
Rainwater fell from the eaves and smashed into splashes on the broken stone steps. Before it could bloom, it was swallowed by more rain. There was a fire burning in the temple, and the wooden god statues that had been placed for hundreds of years, after being chopped into waste wood, smelled a bit burnt. Chen Changsheng squatted beside the fire, constantly pulling out the wet firewood from it, and at the same time using the candle holder to turn the few roots in the fire.
Xu Yourong leaned on the haystack, her face was slightly pale, and she looked very weak. With her injuries and the loss of true blood, it is already a miracle that she can survive until now and win a few fierce battles in the middle.
The rhizomes of those unknown weeds were roasted, exuding a faint aroma. Chen Changsheng picked it out from the ashes, tore off the skin, and walked in front of her. Xu Yourong took it, tore it with his hands and ate it slowly. Chen Changsheng looked at her quietly. Until now, he doesn't know how she saved himself that night, because she never said it, but along the way, he has seen her indescribable strength with his own eyes. He always thinks that if there is no himself, or From the very beginning, she was able to leave safely.
Xu Yourong really didn't say those things, because she has her own pride, and she thinks that this youth from the Snow Mountain Sect has also saved her, so she deserves both.
Not long after she finished eating, Chen Changsheng handed over the wet handkerchief, and then began to eat by himself.
Xu Yourong took a wet handkerchief, gently wiped the corners of her lips, quietly looked at him sitting by the fire, without speaking.
Along the way, for various reasons, they rarely spoke, but did a lot for each other.
To live and die together, never to leave, these most dazzling and intertwined words in the world, she and he did it easily and casually.
May the Holy Light be with you.
Looking at his clear eyes that could reflect the bonfire, she said in her heart.
Then she said to him: "You are a good man."
She said this sentence very lightly, but very seriously.
Chen Changsheng looked at her and smiled, and said, "You too."
Then he suddenly remembered something, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't come to ask you until now, what's your name girl?"
Xu Yourong smiled and said, "What about you?"
It's really interesting that the two of them still don't know each other's name or who they are.
The rain is still falling, I don't know when it will stop, and there are no stars in the Zhou Garden. However, looking into her eyes, Chen Changsheng seemed to have seen the night sky of Xining Town after the rain stopped. There was no trace of mist, it was spotless, and it was extremely bright because of the stars in the night sky. Way to lie to those eyes.
Xu Yourong was also looking into his eyes, those eyes were clean and bright, and he could clearly see himself in them. Facing such eyes, it seemed that he could only answer honestly.
The eyes are the windows of the soul. This is a famous saying, because it has appeared too many times in the world, so as long as it is not a child who has just been enlightened, no one will be willing to say it, and most of the time it will not be remembered, but at this time, they look into each other's eyes, I remembered this sentence.
It doesn't feel good to be surrounded by the crowd in Wenshui City. After the other party knows that he is Chen Changsheng, they probably won't be as casual as they have been this way.
Since she was very young, she has lived a life that attracts the attention of everyone. No matter in the capital or in the south, she is where all eyes gather and is the object of everyone's admiration. She doesn't like this kind of life, and she doesn't want the other party to know that she is After Xu Yourong, will his eyes suddenly become hot like other teenagers, but his words and deeds will become stiff and tasteless
But looking into each other's eyes, they decided to show their true identities because it shows respect.
However, at the moment when their lips moved slightly and their names were about to be blurted out, they once again... changed their minds.
Because they both had a well-known marriage contract, if this girl in white from the Xiuling clan knew that she was Chen Changsheng, she would know that she had a fiancée named Xu Yourong. If this hidden sect disciple of the Snow Mountain Sect knew that he was Xu Yourong, he would know that he had a fiancé named Chen Changsheng.
They didn't like the engagement and wanted to call it quits, but he didn't want her to know about it, and she didn't want him to know about it.
This kind of emotion is very complicated, and this kind of thought is very simple, because no matter how great you are, you are still a boy and a girl after all.
So, they made an identical decision. Until many years later, there is still no answer to what happened in the ruined temple in Ye Yuli. No one knows the reason why they made such a decision, and even they themselves did not tell each other what happened at that time idea.
Xu Yourong's smile gradually disappeared, and she was very calm.
Chen Changsheng's smile gradually calmed down, and he didn't want to show any flaws.
Their voices sounded at the same time.
"Snow Mountain Sect, Xu Sheng."
"Xiu Ling Clan, see you at the beginning of Chen."
…
…
The night temple is very quiet, only the sound of rain falling, which is not disturbing and adds to the tranquility.
Before waking up in the cliff cave, Chen Changsheng had vaguely heard the voice of that old monster, and knew that because of the black dragon, the other party mistook him for a hidden sect disciple of the Snow Mountain Sect, and also knew that the girl was Xiu As a member of the Spirit Race, he didn't want to admit his identity, so he made the wrong mistake, how could he know that Xu Yourong thought the same way.
Her voice is very soft, the tip of her tongue is slightly rolled, and the ending is dragging gently. Even when she says her own name, it seems a little jerky, and it falls into his ears, and she thinks it sounds good. Very good, it is also very good to call it the first meeting. How do you say it? Bowl? He looked at her somewhat swollen but still pretty face, and thought of how cute she was when she was covering his cheeks by the green grass a few days ago, and thought, if life can be like this girl named Chujian, it would be fine. Really good.
Xu Yourong thought more simply, knowing that this young man was originally surnamed Xu, when he saw him in a coma, he felt a little familiar and wanted to get close, could it be this reason.
After exchanging names, what to do next? Rain Temple became quiet again.
"Come to a game?" Xu Yourong took out a chessboard out of nowhere and invited him.
He looked at the chessboard and knew that the other party was like himself and still had many secrets hidden, so he couldn't help laughing.
Xu Yourong also smiled to himself and said nothing, they both knew that each other was unusual, but why bother to talk about those boring things, if they can't get out of this garden, what's the importance of those worldly things? Yes, besides life and death, nothing matters except enjoying life, but what matters is…
"I don't know how to play chess." He said with some shame, looking at her slightly disappointed expression, he added: "Or play something else?"
Xu Yourong thought to himself that if you want to play dominoes, you still need two people, if you want to play Yangzhou poker, you need more people, only two people, if you don't play chess, what can you do
The long night, the cold rain and misty mist, is not a good time to sleep, what's more, she has slept enough time along the way.
Then there is only small talk, and there is no need to consume mental and physical energy.
It's just that they are on the run now, not on a blind date, so naturally they won't talk about some in-depth questions, such as how many people are there in your family? How are your parents? How old are you this year? Why are your eyes so beautiful? Do you have the blood of the mysterious frost dragon left in your body? Have you ever been married
This was the first time they chatted in a real sense. They were practitioners and they didn't know each other well, so they had to talk about practice.
The practice here is real practice, and has nothing to do with the sour saying that life is a practice.
The bonfire in the Rain Temple illuminated the faces of the young man and woman. At this time, they had no idea what the other meant to their own lives.
