Friends are always teasing me [Transmigration Book]

Three hours.

Mo Liang and his party quietly slipped out of Xiaoyou's house, took advantage of the moonlight, walked carefully along the village road, and quietly came to the black-clothed Tianwang Temple located in the innermost part of the village.

They stopped in front of the temple.

From the point of view of architectural style, the construction of this temple is very different from the Buddhist temples, Taoist temples or some common ancestral temples that Bao Longtu knew. He has never seen such a weird temple.

The gate of the temple was closed tightly, and the surroundings were lit with torches, which illuminated the surroundings very brightly.The square in front of the temple has not been repaired in any way, just like the dirt slope and gravel road in the village, it does not have the majesty and solemnity of the ancestral temple at all.

Bao Longtu couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Is this... the Temple of Heavenly Kings in Black?"

Wei Lan carefully observed the building, and said softly: "From the outside, it looks quite similar to some relics buried in the Taklamakan Desert that I have seen in books."

Mo Liang clicked his tongue and whispered, "You're reading a novel about tomb robbers, right?"

Wei Lan patted his butt hard, making him shut up immediately.

"Taklamakan..." Bao Longtu chewed the word, and suddenly said, "You mean the Western Regions?"

Wei Lan said: "I just feel that this architectural style is quite similar to the description of some ancestral temples in the book. In fact, I have never seen the real thing, so I can't be sure."

Mo Liang had already walked to the door, held the door to look around, then turned to call them: "This door is ajar. Shall we go in and have a look?"

Bao Longtu said: "Alright. Let's open the door lightly. Don't make too much noise and don't disturb the villagers."

Wei Lan said, "Master Bao and Mo Liang, you two stand back, I will open the door."

Mo Liang said: "Are you afraid of hidden weapons?"

Wei Lan said: "Since we are in the den of thieves, we have to be on our guard. Back off."

"Then you must be careful!"

Mo Lianghu was in front of Bao Longtu, and the two slowly retreated a few meters away, looking at Wei Lan nervously.

The door is not heavy.Wei Lan tried not to make any noise, and carefully pushed open a door.Immediately, a tangy stench came over.

Seeing Wei Lan covering her nose, Mo Liang anxiously said, "Could it be poisonous gas?"

Bao Longtu also hurriedly said: "Wei Lan, step back quickly! Let me go up instead."

Wei Lan covered her nose with one hand, waved her hand with the other, and said, "Don't panic! It's not poisonous gas. You wait there first, I'll go in and have a look." After speaking, he entered the temple.

Seeing Mo Liang's worried face, Bao Longtu said: "We might as well go in. In case there is really something inside, we can take care of it together."

"Okay! Let's go!"

Mo Liang didn't care about the long-winded rules of officers and subordinates, he grabbed Bao Longtu's arm, and dragged him over as if dragging him.

Approaching the door, there was a stench like a rotting corpse coming towards him. Even if he covered his nose, he couldn't completely stop the stench, and almost made Mo Liang spit out all the food he ate during the day.

The temple is not big.Standing in the middle, Wei Lan faintly saw a standing copper pillar with a semi-circle under the copper pillar. As soon as he touched it with his finger, a torch was lit in the originally dark temple, illuminating the temple as if it were daytime .

Wei Lan was startled. When she turned around looking for the torch hanging on the wall, she found that Mo Liang and Bao Longtu had also come in. She couldn't help but change her expression, and said sharply, "Didn't I tell you to wait outside!"

As soon as Mo Liang and the others came in, they saw the trick of suddenly lighting the torch, and they were very curious. They were all attracted by this thing, and they didn't care so much about whether the air stinks or not.

"What is this?" Mo Liang stared at one of the torches and asked blankly.

Wei Lan let out a long breath, walked up to him, and said, "It's filled with white phosphorus. White phosphorus spontaneously ignites when it meets air, and that's how these torches are ignited. This is a relatively common method in ancient ruins or mausoleums. means of lighting."

"Oh." Mo Liang nodded, gaining knowledge.

Bao Longtu asked: "How? Is there a mechanism here?"

Wei Lan said: "No abnormalities have been found for the time being. However, there is enough weirdness in it."

Mo Liang said: "What's weird?"

Wei Lan said: "Look, don't temples are generally built for people to worship? But in this temple, there is no incense table for worship, only a lonely statue."

Bao Longtu looked towards the shrine, and saw the tall god statue, dressed in black armor and covered with a mask, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and said, "Is this the statue of the black-clothed heavenly king worshiped by the villagers? Worship, why do you have to cover your face with a mask, and describe it without leaking?"

Wei Lan said: "Looking at the dress of this statue, it looks like a warrior. Among the certain warriors I know, it is this kind of appearance with a black armor and a mask on the head. And this kind of warrior, whether it is Japanese or Western Kingdoms have appeared before."

Sister Chui's "Jiangshang is as good as you" was compiled based on the Tang and Song Dynasties, so the words Dongying and Western are no strangers to Bao Longtu.

Bao Longtu pondered, and said: "Could it be that the true identity of this black-clothed heavenly king is a Japanese wanderer or a Western warrior?"

Wei Lan said: "If this possibility is true, the villain thinks that Dongying Ronin is more likely."

Bao Longtu said: "Oh? Tell me your reason."

Wei Lan said: "Before we learned from the informant in Taiping County that the eight heads of the Mafia called themselves Tianlong Babu. The Tianlong Babu came from Buddhist scriptures. The god that Westerners generally believe in is God, and they never quoted it. Buddhist teachings."

Mo Liang, who was standing against the wall, suddenly interjected, "But most countries in the Western Regions believe in Buddha. Didn't the informant also say that their sub-altars also exist in the Western Regions? Compared to the illusory Japanese warriors, I think they are more like people from the Western Regions. In their civilization, this kind of samurai costume is not uncommon. Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe it as 'knight' or 'warrior'."

While looking along the wall, he continued: "Haven't the countries in the Western Regions been eyeing the Great Wei all the time? Maybe they have secretly entered the Central Plains long ago, formed an association, conspired secretly, and planned to do something wrong. Di Yueguo wants to fight with us The Great Wei concluded diplomatic relations, so that the Great Wei will get the important place in the northwest, and the situation will be unfavorable to the countries in the Western Regions. Then it is reasonable for them to attack the Diyue Kingdom's envoys. Stop the peace talks between the two countries, provoke a war, and then benefit It will only be those Western Regions that are hostile to us."

Bao Longtu and Wei Lan stared blankly at Mo Liang's back, obviously stunned by the hearing.

After being stunned for a while, Bao Longtu suddenly said: "Mo Liang!"

"what?"

"Go on."

Because now he felt that Mo Liang's words were not only reasonable, but also well-founded.

But Mo Liang blinked and said with a smile: "No more." Seeing that the two of them couldn't help rolling their eyes, he laughed and said, "That's all I can think of."

Bao Longtu said: "Actually, I've always wondered, what kind of bandit dares to take action against the envoy of one country, it is simply an open enemy of two countries."

No matter how powerful the bandit was, he would not dare to openly become an enemy of the country, that would be simply seeking his own death.

Wei Lan still looked at Mo Liang and asked, "Mo Liang, what are you doing?"

Mo Liang waved his hands and said, "Come and take a look. Look at the blackness on the wall, is it blood splatter?"

Bao Longtu observed the wall carefully, and said: "It is indeed bloodstains.... But how could this temple that enshrines the King of Heaven in black be stained with bloodstains?"

According to the reverence for the gods of the Central Plains people, even if dust falls on the temples worshiped, it is still a blasphemy to the gods.

Wei Lan pondered, and suddenly a plot described in a certain book flashed through her mind, and she suddenly exclaimed: "I understand! This is a slaughterhouse for sacrifices! No wonder there is a stench in this temple. And there is no incense case, so what was enshrined to this statue was the blood of live poultry!"

At this time, a voice outside the door said: "You are only half right. It is not the blood of live birds, but the blood of living people. This temple is originally the place where we offer human sacrifices to the black-clothed Heavenly King."

Rows of torches were raised outside the gate, and a large group of people surrounded the square. Dozens of people dressed in black bowed their bows and drew their knives out of their sheaths, and surrounded the gate of the temple.

The one in the lead is Xiaoyou who they feel is a little unclear.

She was obviously no longer the silly little girl, but a rose with thorns, exuding poisonous poppies.

Mo Liang said: "Damn it! You've always been faking it!"

Xiaoyou sneered and said, "Otherwise, how can I fool you three dogs sent by the imperial court?"

Mo Liang suddenly said: "Wow, woof."

Xiaoyou was startled, and shouted: "What are you doing?"

Mo Liang smiled cheaply and said, "You think dogs are a curse, and you'd be happy if you called us dogs, wouldn't you? However, dogs are the most loyal animals in the world, but it's a pity that some things are even worse than dogs. "

Wei Lan burst out laughing.

It is very difficult for ordinary people to succeed with their tongues in front of Mo Liang.

The girl's delicate face was full of anger.

A man in black behind her shouted: "You bastard! How dare you be rude to Lord Knight!"

Bao Longtu was startled, and said, "This little girl...is she actually one of the twelve knights?"

Xiaoyou said angrily: "Don't use the word 'small'! I'm already 20 years old."

Mo Liang sighed again: "It's so good that it hasn't bloomed yet at the age of 20."

"You bastard!"

Before she could finish her sentence, the person had rushed out, grabbed Mo Liang with lightning speed, and dragged him out forcefully.

Mo Liang was in pain and shouted, "Don't pull my hair, you uncle!"

Wei Lan almost jumped up, changed color and said, "Mo Liang!"

"Stop!" Xiao You sternly said, "If you dare to move a step, I'll break his neck!"

She knew that this person and that black charcoal in her hands were nothing to be afraid of, only this gentle-looking young man, from the first time she saw him, Xiaoyou knew that he was definitely a dangerous person.

And maybe, she and her subordinates may not be this person's opponent together.

Mo Liang now finally understands what it feels like for a girl to be pulled by her hair.

While enduring the pain, he grinned and yelled, "Fuck you! Don't be cowardly, Lanzi!"

If someone else was a hostage, how could Wei Lan be restrained?But that is Liangzi, how dare he move?

Bao Longtu said: "You villains!"

The archers aimed at him in unison, "Don't move!"

"Uh...Okay. But I don't understand one thing. If you don't answer me, I will die with regret."

Xiaoyou frowned and said, "Okay, you can ask."

"The story you told us about the villagers who lived by robbery must be true? What happened to them?"

Xiao You snorted and said, "You will see them soon. Come on! Tie them up and take them away!"
