Xue Huan opened her hazy eyes and subconsciously stretched out her arms to him for a hug. Pei Ji picked her up lovingly, kissed her on the cheek, and fed her the honey water he had poured in advance.
Xue Huan drank half a cup of honey water from his hand, and her sleepiness finally dissipated. "Should we go explore the temple?"
Talking about this, she became alert and the remaining sleepiness disappeared.
Pei Ji brought her outer garment and put it on her, smiling and saying, "Yes."
"Oh, I forgot to prepare." Xue Huan originally said that she wanted to draw some talismans in case of emergency, but she fell asleep while arguing with Pei Ji.
After she became pregnant, her sleepiness symptoms became more severe.
She jumped off the bed and walked towards the table. Pei Ji was startled by her violent movements and quickly supported her: "Hanhan, be careful."
Xue Huan waved her hand, took out a talisman brush, cinnabar, blank talisman paper and other things, and drew a small stack of talismans in a short time.
Breath-suppressing talismans, invisibility talismans, lightning-inducing talismans, etc.
Others draw talismans with great caution and fear, but for her, drawing talismans is as natural as eating and drinking.
However, it is precisely because of this naturalness that her success rate in drawing talismans is surprisingly high.
Xue Huan had the talismans, pills, formation plates, weapons, etc. She even packed some clothes and food into the storage bag.
Pei Ji watched her stuffing things into the storage bag and felt like holding his forehead. He really wanted to tell her, Huanhuan, we are just going to check out the situation. There is no need to prepare as if we were going on a trip to another world.
But he didn't say it in the end.
Whatever, as long as she is happy, besides, it is better to be well prepared than not prepared at all.
The two of them left the yard. Pei Ji held Xue Huan in his arms. His figure was as fast as the wind, passing by lightly like a shadow in the dark night. Xue Huan hugged his waist and used her telepathy to guide him in the right direction.
There are several courtyards behind the temple, and three sides of the temple are three-story buildings. Buddha statues are enshrined upstairs and downstairs, but those statues and buildings are in ruins.
Such a large temple, with such a scale, must have been prosperous and glorious in the past, but now it has fallen into such a dilapidated state.
The painting Xue Huan was looking for was hanging on the wall on the second floor of one of the tall buildings, almost taking up the entire wall.
Zheng Yuzhu's breath disappeared here.
What shocked Xue Huan was that there was a woman in the painting, which had not been seen before!
As Zheng Yuzhu is in a lower position among the contractors, her behavior is restricted by her master Xue Huan, and what she sees and hears can also be perceived by her.
It was like Zheng Yuzhu was a drone she released, which could save and transmit all kinds of images recorded outside to her.
She can sense it in real time, or she can temporarily block her perception and check it through the contract when needed.
Therefore, Xue Huan knew clearly what the painting that swallowed her looked like through Zheng Yuzhu's perspective.
Originally the painting depicted a flying yaksha, but now the flying yaksha has disappeared, replaced by a stunningly beautiful woman.
The image of the woman is lifelike, as if a real person was engraved on the image. She is wearing a royal blue jacket with a red skirt visible from under the jacket.
However, the reason why Xue Huan was shocked was not only because the yaksha in the painting turned into a beautiful woman, but also because she had seen that woman before. She was the young woman from the master and servant pair who lived next door to them in the evening!
It’s just that she dressed quite simply during the day, with a kind of natural beauty, while the colors of her in the painting were much more gorgeous and bright.
In the painting, she has beautiful eyes and a moving gaze, as if she is conveying her feelings to someone outside the painting.
Xue Huan couldn't help but feel a strange feeling. Why did she feel that the person in the painting was alive?
The person she had just seen during the day appeared in the painting at night. She couldn't help but feel a little creepy, and a ridiculous thought popped up in her mind: Could this painting have become a spirit? So that the person in the painting walked down and turned into a living person?
Pei Ji looked at the painting in front of him with a slightly serious expression, and told Xue Huan about Wan Niang's previous visit to him.
Xue Huan liked the beautiful young lady very much, but when the beautiful young lady tried to seduce her husband, she felt disgusted.
Who is this person? He actually came to borrow Pei Ji's quilt while she was sleeping!
Xue Huan felt sweet inside, but when she looked at the person in the painting again, she thought she was still beautiful, but she felt uncomfortable.
"Zhuzhu, do you sense the power of space from this painting?"
When she saw Zheng Yuzhu being swallowed by the painting, she guessed that the painting might contain the power of space. Coincidentally, the fifth bead also sensed the fluctuation of the power of space somewhere in the temple.
Unexpectedly, she received no response after asking this question, and she couldn't even sense the fifth bead!
Xue Huan was startled and quickly looked at the palm of her hand. The Five Elements Bead was still there, but that was all. The connection between her and it was actually blocked.
She tried to enter the space, but ended up staying where she was.
Xue Huan's heart sank suddenly, and the hand holding Pei Ji's arm suddenly tightened.
"Hanhuan?" Pei Ji looked at her.
At this moment, the person in the painting suddenly smiled at them, and then the entire painting turned into a huge black hole, instantly sucking the two of them in.

In a relatively well-preserved courtyard, there stands a tall mutant flower tree. Between its branches and leaves bloom delicate flowers as big as bowls. They are bright red and emit bursts of fragrance. The petals look as smooth as silk, making people imagine what it would feel like to touch them.
However, the black thorns on the branches, which are as thick as thumbs, and the large, serrated leaves indicate that this flower tree is not easy to approach.
On the floor of the bedroom, Xue Huan slept in an alert posture, ready to jump up at any time, holding a homemade bone dagger in her hand.
When a black mouse as big as a cat came out from the corner of the house, Xue Huan woke up, but she did not open her eyes or move, as if she was still sleeping soundly.
The mouse looked around vigilantly, but finally couldn't resist the temptation and crawled towards her.
Just when the rat was about to bite her, Xue Huan suddenly grabbed the bone dagger and pierced through the rat's body, nailing it to the ground!
The mouse squeaked for a while and finally stopped making any sound. A pool of dark red blood flowed out from under its body, looking dirty.
In fact, the blood is indeed dirty, because the rats are infected with zombie poison. The rats' blood and saliva contain zombie poison. Once bitten, people will be poisoned and turn into zombies.
Xue Huan carried the rat into the yard with an expressionless face, threw it into the stone pit and burned it.
I don’t know how many germs and toxins this thing carries. It must be cleaned up after killing it, otherwise when it rots, the toxins in its body will spread out, which will be troublesome.
