Daming's Bizarre Story: Painted Skin

The two Jin Yiwei stood up in response, the charcoal fire in the basin was not enough, several Jin Yiwei simply dismantled the altar to light the fire, the firewood was "cracking", the Jin Yiwei who had gone out had not returned, and people's hearts became anxious.

There were footsteps coming from outside the hall, and some of the students couldn't help blurting out excitedly: "They're back!"

Zhao Ran raised his head, and several Jin Yiwei rushed in from the outside holding He Panying who was covered in blood.

"What happened? Where's Su Qiyan?" Lu Tao couldn't help but blurt out.

Jin Yiwei had already said to Fu Heng first: "My lord, there are traces of the demon tree behind the mountain!"

There was an uproar of panic among the crowd.

"Didn't it mean that the demon tree has left?!"

"Why, why did it come back?!"

He Panying said with tears: "It's true, Qiyan, I and a few other adults went to inspect the back of the temple. Qiyan refused to go behind the temple and twisted his foot, so he stayed where he was and waited for us. I don't worry about Qiyan. Yan, so I walked back from the back of the temple first, and as soon as I got to the place where Qi Yan was resting, I saw a demon and a demon tree dragging Qi Yan away... I tried my best, but I couldn't save him."

A few guards in Jin Yi said: "We heard his shouts, when we rushed over, we saw him fall against the wall, Su Qiyan has disappeared!"

Jia Chen, who had been lowering his head, suddenly asked, "Except for Panying... have the other adults seen the demon tree?"

The leader of Jin Yiwei glanced at Jia Chen: "No, but the scratches on He Panying's face are indeed caused by branches!"

Jia Chen stammered, "Scratches can also be made by yourself!"

Lu Tao couldn't help but said, "Jia Chen, what do you mean? Do you mean that Panying killed Qiyan?"

He Panying smiled wryly: "Although Qiyan and I are students of the same academy, we have never met each other. At this juncture, even I don't know if I can live to see the sun of tomorrow, so why kill someone who has no hatred for me?" The person who complained?"

"Exactly, Jia Chen, your suspicions are not indiscriminate!"

"Jia Chen, if you are so suspicious, why don't you go on patrol next time, rather than sit here and suspect someone who is taking risks for everyone!"

He Panying has been rushing along the road and has won the hearts of many students. He can't help being dissatisfied with Jia Chen's groundless accusations. Jia Chen bowed his head amidst the accusations of everyone.

Zhao Ran felt that Jia Chen's suspicion was not unreasonable, after all, Sun Qizhong also died outside for no apparent reason. Strictly speaking, both of them had a time overlap with He Panying.

But why, He Panying wanted to kill them?

Zhaoran has been thinking hard, like he can't figure out why they can see twelve people, but he... can only see ten.

"Everyone, don't blame Jia Chen. It's the same way. Too many of our classmates disappeared inexplicably." He Panying said, "It seems that the demon tree is still lurking under the academy, and it's not safe here. We should evacuate as soon as possible. good."

There is a warm fire inside, but outside is the dark night, the bitter mountain wind, and the pattering cold rain. Everyone can't help but hesitate. Lu Tao hesitates and asks: "But outside...is it safe?"

Fu Heng roasted his hands, suddenly looked at Jiuru and asked respectfully, "What do you think, little sage?"

Jiu Ru raised his eyes: "Leave."

Lu Tao couldn't help but asked: "Sir, it's not necessarily safe outside, not to mention the dark lights, if the demon tree drags people, wouldn't we have nothing to do? Shouldn't it be more convenient for us to wait until dawn?" Some?"

"Yes!" Many students echoed.

Jiuru replied very lightly: "Since it's not safe, it's better to leave than wait."

"Why, why?"

"Because waiting won't find the answers you want."

The problem is that they don't want an answer, but want to live, but since even the only saint among them said so, Lu Tao had no choice but to swallow the words in his heart.

I would rather die on the road than wait to die in the same place.

Zhaoran raised his head to look at Jiuru, he suddenly found that he seemed to understand Jiuru a little bit more.

Yang Wan hurriedly said: "Since the little sage said to leave, then let's leave!"

Fu Heng put away his warming hands and stood up: "Get ready to leave!"

Now even if someone objected in their hearts, they could no longer make a sound.

----

"You, you walk on the left, you still have you, the Queen!" Jin Yiwei pointed to the student assignment.

Lu Tao, who was pointed at the queen of the palace, couldn't help but said unfairly: "Why is it my queen?"

Jin Yiwei glared at him: "Not satisfied, you go to the front!"

Fu Heng turned his head and said with a smile: "Actually, at a time like this, opportunities are equal wherever you go!"

Jia Chen, who was also pointed at the back of the hall, lowered his head and walked towards the back of the team. Seeing him pass by, he asked in a low voice, "What did you see?"

The expression on Jia Chen's face couldn't help trembling, He Panying had already followed, his legs and feet were a bit inconvenient, and he had a thick branch: "My lord, why don't I follow Jia Chen in the rear, I know some martial arts! "

For Jin Yiwei, as long as someone is behind him, they don't care who it is, but He Panying volunteered many times, which left a good impression on him, so he nodded and said: "Be careful, see If not, sound the warning!"

Jiuru picked up Zhaoran again, and Meng Chengtian took a look: "Mr. Zhaoxian is so kind."

Hengsheng said: "It's only natural for a little sage to love his disciples, young master go ahead."

Meng Chengtian added another sentence: "That's where Zhao Xian excels. Thinking that a dull disciple like me often doesn't know what Mr. thinks, Mr. naturally won't like it."

Zhao Ran felt that his tone of voice was a bit weird, so he gave him a blank look: "Mr. Meng is indeed self-aware."

Meng Chengtian smiled and followed Hengsheng away.

Zhao Ran looked at their backs: "This person doesn't know what he means."

While speaking, a group of people had already left the temple and walked down the steps. As soon as they reached the halfway up the mountain, they saw Jin Yiwei, who was exploring the way ahead, rushing forward to report: "My lord, the academy in front has been submerged, and there is no way to go. !"

"All submerged?!" Fu Heng asked in surprise.

"A vast ocean." You don't need to look at Jin Yiwei's face, just listen to his voice to know that it won't get better.

"Go ahead and have a look." Fu Heng replied.

Everyone walked forward without giving up, only to see that the dormitories below were really submerged, maybe it was just after a heavy rain, the moon was shining brightly, and the lake surface was shining brightly in everyone's eyes under the half-cold moon. .

The crowd stood by the lake in silence for a while, and suddenly they heard a loud noise behind them. They turned their heads, only to hear He Panying lose her voice: "It's the temple that has collapsed!"

The temple without Buddha has collapsed...

"What should I do?" The students were a little panicked, with no way out and no way out.

Fu Heng suddenly laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, if we are still in that temple now, I am afraid we will die. It seems that God has the virtue of good life, and we shouldn't die!"

His few words made people's hearts suddenly cheered up, and everyone said: "Your Excellency is right."

Lu Tao said: "Thanks to Panying for letting us leave the temple!"

Everyone thanked him one after another, and even Fu Heng patted him on the shoulder: "If you get tired of doing this learning, come to Jin Yiwei and follow me!"

"Thank you, sir!" He Pan said in a trembling English tone, with an excited expression, "We will definitely get out alive!"

"We will definitely get out alive!" A picture suddenly appeared in Lu Tao's mind, as if he had heard the exact same words from He Panying somewhere, and he couldn't help but stare at He Panying in a daze.

"There are trees on the mountain, we can make sure that the trees are made into a tree row!"

"Yes, it might be safer for us to walk on the lake. After all, this dryad is still a tree. It is impossible for it not to be afraid of this big tree."

Everyone became active again after talking about each other. Jin Yiwei took the Xiuchun knife and let them cut down the trees, while the rest of the students tied the trees together with the old vines that had been cut down.

----

"How long has it been? It's not yet dawn." One of them looked up at the sky.

"Don't worry about it, get out of here, the sooner the better?"

"Can we really get out of here?" someone asks softly as time wears on and confidence begins to fade.

Zhao Ran also thought so, can they leave here?

He always felt that if they couldn't solve the mystery of why their ten people were there, it would be impossible for them to leave here.

Zhao Ran asked himself that he was very clever, but this was the most unbelievable scene he had ever seen, and he couldn't think of the connection inside it at all, his gaze slowly passed over all the people by the lake.

He Panying who is enthusiastic, Jia Chen who has been a little silent since entering the academy, the sweet-mouthed Gu Yan who is carrying a big burden on his body, Lu Tao who talks straight and loves to ask questions, and who has no opinions and likes to echo Zhu Yangguang.

There is also the dead submissive Gu Kuan, the missing old earner Yan Dan, the playboy Yang Danshu, and who else is... By the way, Sun Qi, the man who believes that silence is golden, and that he can get rich by keeping silent.

There is really no such thing as the same thing. Zhaoran picked up a stone and threw it into the lake. Watching the stone float by on the lake, he suddenly remembered Jia Chen's question: "Have you seen the bottom of your feet?"

Of course, Zhao Ran doesn't think that Jia Chen is asking him to look at his feet, but Zhao Ran thinks that Jia Chen is referring to his own reflection reflected by the water.

He got close to the lake, but before he could see the shadow clearly, a bamboo raft was pushed into the lake, splashing a row of small water waves.

"On board! On board!" Jin Yiwei shouted a few times.

The students hurriedly picked up their respective salutes, walked to the bank and looked at the tree row in the water, hesitating a bit. One of them jumped onto the tree row, and it was Meng Chengtian, who followed Hengsheng and slowly stepped onto the bamboo raft. They also jumped up, and no one hesitated anymore, everyone helped me onto the two bamboo rafts.

There is no shortage of bamboo on the mountain of the academy, and the two Jinyi left the water bank with bamboo poles supporting the bamboo rafts.

Occasionally, the roof of the academy was exposed on the water. Relying on these instructions, they slid towards the outside of the academy.

Liangyue lightly cast a layer of silver light on the man's body, the wind was calm, Zhao Ran gently leaned his head to look at the water surface again, this time he could see clearly his own figure on the water surface, and Jia Chen's words meaning of words.
