That night.
It's raining heavily!
There were flashes of lightning and thunder in the sky, and the raindrops hitting the eaves made a 'pattering' sound.
Lin Jiangnian was awakened by a loud and harsh sound. When he opened his eyes, everything around him was dark.
The air was filled with a damp smell, mixed with a somewhat disgusting... blood?
"Where is this?!"
Lin Jiangnian's brain short-circuited. He sat up in a daze and looked around.
“Boom!”
Just then, a flash of lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating the dark night.
Taking advantage of the fleeting light, what came into Lin Jiangnian's sight was an unfamiliar and dilapidated temple.
temple?
Lin Jiangnian looked a little confused. Why was he in a dilapidated temple?
The old and dilapidated temple was surrounded by ruins and broken walls. The stone Buddha statue collapsed on the ground, covered with a thick layer of dust...
Desolate and a bit weird!
Are you dreaming?
Lin Jiangnian subconsciously reached out and pinched his thigh!
It hurts... This is not a dream!
So where is this?!
etc……
The feel is wrong!
Lin Jiangnian subconsciously looked down.
"Boom..."
Lightning and thunder split the sky, illuminating the dilapidated temple again.
Inside the temple, Lin Jiangnian looked down at his worn and prickly coarse linen robe and fell into a brief daze and confusion.
“…”
After a long time, Lin Jiangnian gradually came to his senses, although he still didn't know what had happened.
But at this moment, the surrounding environment and the changes in his body explained everything... He seemed to have traveled through time?!
Lin Jiangnian lowered his head and looked at himself blankly. He was still the same person, nothing had changed, and there was no memory left in his mind.
Except that he had changed into a set of ragged, coarse linen clothes at some point, like he was dressed in ancient times, and his hair had grown longer and was still wet...
Lin Jiangnian subconsciously touched his hair. It was sticky and wet, and a strong and pungent smell of blood came from it.
This is……
Lin Jiangnian's pupils suddenly shrank.
Blood!
Blood?!
Where did the blood come from?!
Looking at the blood on his hands, Lin Jiangnian realized something and suddenly turned his head. The next second, he was horrified!
dead!
Corpse!
Right next to Lin Jiangnian, a cold body was lying there, with a sharp knife piercing its chest and blood flowing all over the floor.
No, more than one!
As his vision gradually got used to the darkness, several corpses in the ruined temple gradually came into view.
Lin Jiangnian's eyes were dull and his whole body instantly turned cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar!
In the huge dilapidated temple, dozens of corpses were lying in a pool of blood. Rainwater mixed with blood washed all over the ground, and the air was filled with the disgusting smell of blood.
All around the temple, there were traces of destruction from fighting.
Another flash of thunder illuminated the yard outside the temple, and also revealed several corpses in the yard!
There were masked men in black, guards in brocade clothes, and corpses of civilians in tattered clothes intertwined together, and the silence was terrifying, so quiet that it seemed as if the only sounds in the world were the pouring rain and thunder!
Lin Jiangnian's face was full of horror.
Crime scene?
A vendetta in the underworld?
The beginning is so fucking exciting?!
A feeling of fear suddenly spread in his heart. Lin Jiangnian took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down. Call the police?
wrong!
Report a case?
No, I have to run away quickly!
As a newcomer, he didn't know what was happening or which dynasty he was in.
But no matter what era it is, whether it is a vendetta or revenge, Lin Jiangnian, an "eyewitness" who appeared at the crime scene, will definitely not have a good ending.
Either he was discovered and silenced by the murderer, or he was blamed by the government and beheaded as an accomplice of the murderer!
We must get out of this dangerous and damn place as soon as possible!
But before Lin Jiangnian could calm down and set off, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside the temple, gradually approaching.
Lin Jiangnian was shocked. Is there someone else?
It was too late to run away now. Just as Lin Jiangnian lay down again and pretended to be dead, the sound of horse hooves broke through the temple gate and rushed into the courtyard.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of hurried footsteps came in.
There were quite a few people and they were walking in a hurry.
"It's over, we're too late!"
A woman's anxious voice sounded.
"It's the guards from Prince Lin's Mansion. They were attacked!"
"What? Even the master of the Daoist Realm at the Lin Palace was killed?! Who on earth is that person?!"
"Saint, something terrible is happening..."
"That bastard prince...die, die!"
“…”
The surroundings suddenly fell into dead silence.
Then, a cold, indifferent, and faintly angry voice came: "Who did this?!"
Silence, no one said a word.
Even Lin Jiangnian, who was hiding in the dilapidated temple pretending to be dead, subconsciously held his breath and dared not move.
Where do these people come from?
Dog Prince?
A vendetta among the underworld? Or a struggle for imperial power?
Lin Jiangnian's mind was in a mess. At this moment, the cold female voice came again from the courtyard outside the temple.
"Search carefully to see if there are any survivors!"
"yes!"
“…”
Inside the dilapidated temple, Lin Jiangnian's hair stood on end, and he felt terrified!
search?
They even didn't spare the corpses?
The temple wasn't very big, and there were very few places to hide. Once the enemy came to search, Lin Jiangnian would definitely be exposed.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian couldn't lie down anymore.
He couldn't get away by pretending to be dead. The other corpses had been cold for a long time, and it was too late for him to die now!
Got to run away quickly!
Seeing several figures approaching the temple, Lin Jiangnian suppressed his fear, carefully groped his way up, and taking advantage of the darkness of the night, bent down and quietly groped his way to the side door.
He moved very carefully, one step, two steps, three steps...
Getting closer!
Soon, they were only a few steps away from the temple's side door, but there was no shelter in between. Lin Jiangnian took a deep breath, ready to rush through in one breath under the cover of darkness.
But just as Lin Jiangnian took the first step...
“Boom!”
Suddenly, another flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and with this moment of light, Lin Jiangnian had nowhere to hide.
“Who is it?!”
Several figures outside the ruined temple instantly discovered Lin Jiangnian, who was waiting for an opportunity to escape in the temple, and approached quickly.
"Grass!"
Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but curse, and didn't even bother to scold the evil God for playing tricks on him. Without any hesitation, he ran towards the side door!
Now that you've been discovered, just run away!
Staying alive is important!
"call out!"
The next second, a flash of cold light blocked Lin Jiangnian's path. He looked intently and saw a sword... a sword emitting a chilling aura, which passed in front of him and pierced the wall beside him. The chill lingering on the sword made Lin Jiangnian shudder.
Before Lin Jiangnian could come to his senses from his horror, a figure appeared in front of him like a ghost.
"stop!"
A crisp and somewhat fierce voice was heard, and a young girl wearing strange clothes stood in front of Lin Jiangnian.
Their appearances were hard to see in the dim light, but their petite bodies looked so weak that they could be killed with just one slap!
Seeing that a seemingly harmless little girl was blocking his way, Lin Jiangnian became anxious and subconsciously showed a fierce expression on his face: "Get out of the way quickly, don't blame me for being rude to you..."
But before Lin Jiangnian could finish his threatening words, the seemingly weak girl in front of him suddenly slapped him.
Lin Jiangnian felt as if his shoulder was hit hard, and he was in intense pain. He convulsed all over and lost all his strength in an instant.
Then, the little girl in front of him grabbed his collar and lifted him up.
"Saint, I caught one alive!"
The little girl's voice was particularly excited.
“…”
