Xiao Qingyun frowned slightly and explained, "It's not that I'm having a hard time with anyone, it's just that the food isn't to my liking."
Lingzhi paused and looked down at the dining table.
Food not to your liking?
She ate too fast just now and didn't even taste it.
Now thinking back, it seems that it is really not that good, either too salty or too fishy...
However, he is still so picky when he goes out.
Lingzhi felt contempt in her heart for this fussy and mysophobic young man!
"If you don't want to eat, then you don't want to eat. Why don't you say it?"
Lingzhi, however, looked like he was unwilling to give in.
Xiao Qingyun was stunned by the scolding and hadn't come to his senses yet.
Lingzhi pushed another plate of glutinous rice cakes in front of Xiao Qingyun: "Here, try this, it's delicious."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingyun glanced at Lingzhi and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He picked up a piece of glutinous rice cake with his slender fingers and tasted it slowly.
He is a grown man, but he actually loves sweets, the very sweet kind.
Lingzhi also picked up a piece and ate it. While eating, he looked at Xiao Qingyun and couldn't help but smile secretly.
If you eat her snacks, don't blame her for squandering his money.
After the meal, Lingzhi asked the waiter to pack a lot of delicious food and put it on the carriage.
After leaving the inn, the two of them traveled for several days.
But before he knew it, he had strayed into a foggy forest.
This misty forest is large and wide, and they were lost in it as soon as they entered.
"What should we do? It seems like we can't get out."
Xiao Qingyun looked ahead. There was fog in front of him, like white smoke floating on a black curtain, making it impossible to see the front clearly, and the vision around him gradually became blurred.
The carriage could only follow the road and move forward blindly.
"Such thick fog doesn't look normal."
The car was stuffy, shaking and a little dizzy. Lingzhi lifted the curtain and came out, sitting side by side with Xiao Qingyun at the shaft.
Although the thick fog had blocked the view into the distance, Dao Lingzhi still opened his eyes wide and carefully examined everything around him.
The carriage seemed to have driven into a cemetery, surrounded by bare graves.
There was an inexplicable sharp cry of a strange bird, which was a bit eerie and terrifying.
Originally, he just wanted to find the way he came, but gradually, Lingzhi saw the clues.
She and Xiao Qingyun were probably mistakenly walking into a maze set by someone else.
"My Lord, close your eyes and I will take you out."
After seeing through the formation, Lingzhi immediately had an idea in mind.
Xiao Qingyun nodded and closed his eyes as he was told.
Lingzhi gently pulled Xiao Qingyun's sleeve, stepped left and right, and walked for a long time before getting out of the formation.
When Xiao Qingyun opened his eyes, he found that they had already left the mist formation. He said to Lingzhi with admiration: "I didn't expect you to be proficient in the art of Qimen Dunshu."
"It was just a fluke."
Lingzhi waved her hand and said, "It's a pity that the carriage is still stuck in the formation and can't get out. We can only walk the rest of the way."
Xiao Qingyun looked up at the sky. The fog had dissipated and the sky was filled with stars.
"It's getting late, let's look for a place to stay."
Lingzhi looked around and found a faint light emerging in the woods in front of him on the right.
"Let's go and look ahead."
Lingzhi walked fast, and Xiao Qingyun followed closely behind her.
The two walked for a long time before they reached the light.
It turned out to be an ancient temple.
The temple is not deserted, but it seems that it has not been maintained for a long time.
The statue was covered with spider webs, and the candles on the candlesticks were burning at different lengths, with the candle oil overflowing, giving the table a white and red edge.
There were fruits and vegetables on the incense table as offerings, but they didn't look fresh.
Lingzhi saw that several candles on the candlestick had gone out, so she pinched her thumb and index finger together, and a cluster of fire suddenly appeared at her fingertips, and she secretly lit the candles.
When Xiao Qingyun turned around, he suddenly felt that the room was much brighter.
I couldn't help but say: "It seems that the Buddha in this temple also welcomes us."
Lingzhi chuckled secretly, but agreed: "Yes, the Regent's arrival makes even the Buddha feel honored."
Xiao Qingyun laughed, walked around the temple, and then sat down against a pillar to rest.
Lingzhi also sat on a cushion, closing his eyes and concentrating.
It was late at night and the moon was covered by dark clouds, making everything gloomy.
After the two of them rested, a piece of incense "puffed" through the window paper.
Wisps of white smoke slowly drifted into the house.
Lingzhi, who was originally sleeping soundly, frowned slightly and turned over.
The person outside the door was about to move, but was so frightened by what he saw that he dared not move.
Until a stick of incense burned out, no more sound came from the room.
A burst of chaotic footsteps was heard outside the house.
After a while, several men in black with wet face towels pushed open the door silently like ghosts and tiptoed into the ruined temple.
Their eyes were like cheetahs hunting for food, fixed on Xiao Qingyun and Lingzhi who were sleeping on the ground.
A woman said excitedly: "Fourth Master, I told you everything is fine, this damn girl, how can she be vigilant?"
The other man was obviously much more cautious: "Fifth Master, don't be careless! Be careful not to wake anyone up."
After the man finished speaking, he ordered his men: "Tie up the woman and take her away, and kill the man!"
"yes!"
Suddenly, two men in black appeared, one holding a rope and the other holding a dagger, and they went towards Lingzhi and Xiao Qingyun on the ground respectively.
Seeing that the man in black was about to put the rope around Lingzhi, Lingzhi suddenly opened her eyes and threw the incense burner hidden in her hand with great force, hitting the man in the face.
There was a loud bang, and Lingzhi felt pain in his body.
