"I feel like we're on the wrong set." Xiao Zhengyi hesitated for a moment and whispered, "No matter how I look at it, this has nothing to do with the current Earth God. It's basically just talking about the previous Earth God. Could it be that Mo Li's hand slipped and sent us into the wrong dream? "
Even Xu Shenxing was a little confused by what he said. According to Mo Li's usual style of cheating, it wasn't impossible …
"Excuse me." Mo Li, who was eating candied haws, stopped eating like a cute hamster and looked at Xiao Zhengyi with puffed cheeks. "Go ahead."
"Haven't you given up on that 'go ahead' idiom? You've obviously forgotten to say it so many times. "
Xu Shenxing complained.
"I won't make such a low-level mistake." Mo Li pretended not to hear him and continued, "Go ahead."
When the three of them hid in a corner and secretly discussed what to do next, the season changed again.
The weather gradually became colder.
Just like the fast-forward often used in popular science programs, the leaves of the maple trees by the roadside suddenly became fiery red. From afar, it looked like a flame dancing in the autumn wind.
But other than that, the surrounding scenery didn't change much. From this point, it was certain that at least in terms of years, not much time had passed.
"Wait, where are those two people?" Xiao Zhengyi, who used to be a criminal police officer and tracked criminals, immediately realized that they seemed to have lost their targets.
"You can't expect them to still be in the same place after a year. I think they might have returned to the Earth Temple."
Xu Shenxing guessed, "The reason why this didn't happen before was probably because after more than a hundred years, they just happened to pass by the same place again."
"Oh." Mo Li, whose mouth was stuffed with candied haws, also made an incomprehensible sound. Xu Shenxing felt that she should be agreeing with his guess.
"In other words, we have to first determine where the mountain behind Jiang Jin University is …"
Xiao Zhengyi said helplessly.
This was because the ancient Jiang Jin County was different from the modern Jiang Jin County. Not only was it much smaller, even the streets were very different. The modern Jiang Jin County might have been a forest or a ravine in this era …
To be honest, it was not easy to find the address of Jiang Jin University in this era.
"No, the local shrines in this era are also different from those in the modern era." Xu Shenxing shook his head.
Hearing him say this, Xiao Zhengyi came back to his senses and remembered that the Earth God Loli seemed to have mentioned something about this not long ago in the cannibal case.
"In other words …"
He looked at Xu Shenxing with uncertainty.
Xu Shenxing nodded and replied, "Just find an abandoned hotel … or a local temple in this era."
Xiao Zhengyi showed a look of understanding. Although it was difficult to find a local temple in a county, at least they had a clue. If they thought about it carefully, they could actually ask a passerby for directions.
"Also, about asking a passerby for directions, I think it's better not to do it as much as possible." At this time, Xu Shenxing suddenly added.
"Why?"
Xiao Zhengyi, who originally thought that he had already won, immediately asked in dissatisfaction.
"Because this is the Earth God's dream. Although it seems unrelated at first glance, in fact, everything is connected to the Earth God's mind. It may be fine if you ask a passerby some irrelevant questions, but if you ask 'Where is the local temple?' Questions like 'Who is the Earth God?' are likely to attract the other party's attention and subconsciously exclude us. "
Xu Shenxing continued to explain.
"In this way, we can only search slowly and inefficiently …" Hearing this, Xiao Zhengyi was at his wit's end.
After all, it was his first time entering someone else's dream (to be honest, Xiao Zhengyi still had some doubts about whether this was someone else's dream). It was better to listen to Xu Shenxing, who looked like an expert.
Anyway, he couldn't beat him …
At this time, Mo Li tugged at the corner of Xu Shenxing's clothes.
"What's wrong? You can't rub the candy in your hand on my clothes, okay? "Xu Shenxing turned around and asked curiously.
"Oh." Mo Li continued to make an ambiguous sound.
"What? Who's coming? "Xu Shenxing looked in the direction Mo Li said.
"Oh."
"Or is it someone different from the ordinary people in this dream?" Xu Shenxing was even more curious.
"How do you communicate …" Xiao Zhengyi continued to complain.
"Through love!" Xu Shenxing gave him a thumbs up.
"…"
Xiao Zhengyi didn't even have the energy to complain.
Just as the three of them were still talking, something came from the other side of the street.
"It's the guard of honor! I've seen it on TV before … "Xiao Zhengyi said in a low voice without any respect," It's probably some high-ranking official. "
At the same time, many soldiers had already arrived. They would drive away the irrelevant people on the road and maintain the basic order of the street, which was called Jingdao.
Then came the eunuchs who were calling out the names and people who were playing gongs, drums, and colorful flowers. These people who looked happy were called Xuan Yi.
From the eunuchs who were calling out the names, they knew that this parade was indeed the guard of honor. Moreover, it was the guard of honor of this dynasty's top scholar.
After Jingdao and Xuan Yi passed by, the person riding a tall horse was the top scholar.
However, when Xu Shenxing and Xiao Zhengyi saw him, they couldn't help but be surprised. Although his face had matured a lot, there was no doubt that his face was the scholar who had been beaten up in front of the rouge shop!
"Things are really unpredictable …"
After holding it in for a long time, Xiao Zhengyi squeezed out half a sentence.
Xu Shenxing, on the other hand, frowned.
He remembered the story about the former Earth God that Qin Xingyan had told him from the ancient books.
No matter how he looked at it, the scholar who became the top scholar was very likely to be the one who abandoned the former Earth God.
In that case, could it be that the knot in Zhuo Yunyi's heart was that she couldn't stop the former Earth God from falling in love with this scholar, which led to the latter's tragic ending?
He told Xiao Zhengyi his guess, and Xiao Zhengyi immediately understood.
When Qin Xingyan was telling this story, the policeman was also at Ying Apartment, so he knew the cause and effect.
"I just asked the passers-by next to me, and they said that the top scholar's first stop was to go to the Earth Temple … Do you think this is just a coincidence?"
While Xu Shenxing was in a daze, Xiao Zhengyi seemed to have gotten along with the surrounding NPCs and obtained a lot of information.
"As expected of an auxiliary police officer …" Xu Shenxing couldn't help but sigh.
"He's a criminal police officer, okay!"
Xiao Zhengyi corrected him unhappily.
"Although I'm not too sure, it's very likely that they have secretly colluded with each other." Xu Shenxing pondered for a moment. "No matter what, this is an opportunity for us to follow him and find the Earth Temple."
Thus, the three of them quietly followed the top scholar's guard of honor and followed them to the Earth Temple.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of the Jingdao soldiers, they even deliberately chose to walk in small alleys with fewer people.
After following them for a while, just as they were about to reach the Earth Temple, Xu Shenxing's eyes suddenly turned cold. He reached out and pressed Xiao Zhengyi's head down, causing the latter to involuntarily bend down.
Almost at the same time, a small black shadow behind them had already kicked over, but because of Xu Shenxing's actions, the kick missed.
"F * ck, what happened?!"
Xiao Zhengyi naturally felt as if something had flown over his head and couldn't help but exclaim.
With the force of the flying object, if Xu Shenxing hadn't pressed him down, his head would have exploded like a watermelon.
However, when he saw the true face of the object, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The other party was none other than the purpose of their trip, the current Earth God Loli of Jiang Jin.
Suddenly, the four of them fell silent.
In the end, it was Xu Shenxing who spoke first.
"May I know why this young lady attacked us?"
It seemed that Old Xu was planning to pretend not to know her. Xiao Zhengyi thought to himself.
"Shouldn't she be the one asking you this question?"
The girl's face didn't look relaxed at all, and was still tense. "If I remember correctly, this should be the third time we've met."
"…"
Xu Shenxing didn't reply.
Even if they were careful not to expose themselves, they were still discovered by the other party?
However, this couldn't be helped. After all, the three of them were dressed very differently from the people of this era, so it was normal for them to be noticed.
"Even so, isn't it a bit too much to use such a fatal force right from the start?!"
Xiao Zhengyi, who had almost turned into a watermelon, said angrily.
"Perhaps for ordinary people …" The Earth God Loli didn't deny this point.
"I'm an ordinary person!" Xiao Zhengyi continued to say unhappily.
"Then, may I ask, Mr. Ordinary Person, how did you manage to not change your appearance at all after a hundred years?"
However, Zhuo Yunyi's words directly made Xiao Zhengyi swallow his complaints back into his stomach.
In essence, Xiao Zhengyi was indeed an ordinary person. At most, because of Old Xu's protection and bathing in a large amount of spiritual energy, his body was stronger and more durable than ordinary people's.
It had only been half a day since he came to this dream — and most of the time was used to follow the top scorer, so of course, his appearance couldn't have changed at all.
However, for Zhuo Yunyi, this reason didn't make sense, because in the girl's world view, it had been a hundred years since the first time she saw the three of them …
"This basically counts as a failure, right?" Xiao Zhengyi whispered to Xu Shenxing.
"No, at this time, it's time to execute Plan B!"
Xu Shenxing smiled slightly and said confidently, "Don't worry, I'm very good at Plan B."
"When did you make Plan B?"
"A minute ago."
"… Then let me ask, what is Plan B?"
"In short, beat the other party up and then explain!"
"I knew it, ah ah ah —!"
Zhuo Yunyi probably mistook Xiao Zhengyi's sorrowful cry as the precursor to an attack, so the little girl directly jumped directly onto the wall by the side of the alley and looked down at them from above.
"I don't know why you repeatedly spied on the Earth God, but no matter what you want to do, everything ends here!"
As soon as her voice fell, she put her palms together and shouted loudly.
In an instant, Xu Shenxing and the others felt that there was nothing under their feet, and the three of them directly fell into a big pit on the ground that they didn't know when it appeared!
However, Xu Shenxing didn't panic at all. He held Xiao Zhengyi in one hand and Mo Li in the other.
"Mo Li, let's go!"
"Oh!"
Mo Li also raised his hands high and made a gesture of "I'm going to fly".
The next moment, the three of them were buried alive by the overwhelming amount of mud.
Standing on the wall, Zhuo Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Although I don't know what kind of demons you are, I definitely won't let you hurt a single hair on the Eldest Miss."
She turned around. Just as she was about to leave, the ground began to tremble slightly.
☆
Zhuo Xiangzhu sat in the Earth God Temple and felt a little bored.
Jiangjin was a very peaceful place, and there were almost no demons that would come here to cause trouble.
The Earth God's job had already been completed.
Even Xiao Yi had run off to who knows where. There wasn't even anyone to talk to in the huge Earth God Temple …
The Earth God wasn't interested at all.
At this moment, a bell in the room suddenly shook, making a clear and melodious sound.
The other end of the bell was tied to the human world. It was the contact method that Zhuo Xiangzhu had left for the scholar.
After getting to know each other outside the rouge shop, she had met the scholar a few more times. As she admired his character, she left him a method to contact her.
However, if she remembered correctly, the scholar should have already gone to the capital to take the exam.
Regardless, Zhuo Xiangzhu still decided to go up and take a look.
Thus, she transformed into an ordinary human girl and left the Earth God Temple. She directly entered the Earth God Temple in the human world. To prevent ordinary people from seeing her, she entered from the backyard.
When she entered the temple, she saw a young man wearing an official's robe kneeling in front of her statue and praying.
By the way, although the statue did belong to Zhuo Xiangzhu, and the incense that the statue enjoyed were all fed back to Zhuo Xiangzhu, the clay statue could be considered as the work of the human imagination of this era. It looked burly, had a green face and long fangs, and looked like a mountain chief …
"Scholar?" The young girl softly called out.
The young man on the praying mat raised his head. When he saw the young girl, he couldn't help but smile.
"Miss, I've kept my promise and returned." His smile was as sincere as ever.
"These clothes … You passed the High Scholar examination?"
The young girl was a little surprised. She didn't expect this blockhead to actually pass the High Scholar examination.
"Yes, I'm also this year's Top Scholar." The scholar nodded foolishly.
"Then I'll congratulate you. I've heard of the story of the Top Scholar examination. Didn't the officials of the imperial court come to capture a promising Top Scholar like you as their son-in-law? "
The young girl, who wasn't very good at this, racked her brains to find a topic to congratulate the scholar.
"Yes, I'm indebted to the elders for thinking so highly of me. They did do that, but I rejected them all."
The scholar continued to smile foolishly. "I told them that I already have someone in my heart."
"Oh? Which family's girl is so lucky? "
The young girl asked casually.
However, the scholar only scratched the back of his head embarrassedly and didn't answer.
Zhuo Xiangzhu only thought that the scholar was too embarrassed to tell an outsider like her, so she didn't pursue the matter.
"Oh right, that jade hairpin …"
The scholar seemed to have thought of something and said.
"Don't worry, I've kept it safe for you." Zhuo Xiangzhu pretended to take it out of her clothes, but in reality, she used a spell to transfer the hairpin directly into her hand. Then, she reached out to the scholar. "Here, I'll return it to you like I said before."
However, the scholar shook his head and didn't take it.
Zhuo Xiangzhu noticed that the smile on the scholar's face had disappeared.
What's wrong? Could it be that what she said just now made him angry?
For a moment, the young girl didn't know what to do.
"When I was young, my mother said that this jade hairpin is our family heirloom. I can only give it to my wife when I find her to wear it."
"… Huh?" Zhuo Xiangzhu blinked her eyes, feeling even more puzzled.
"What I said before was' one day, I'll become rich and then openly bring 'her' home! '" The expression on his face became extremely serious. "And 'her' doesn't refer to the jade hairpin, but to the person holding the jade hairpin."
"… Eh eh eh?!"
Zhuo Xiangzhu felt her face heat up all of a sudden. Her ears were even more frighteningly hot.
What is this human talking about? Did he just confess to me? He likes me? How can he like me? I'm the Earth God …
As the Earth God of Jiang Jin, Zhuo Xiangzhu had always regarded all living creatures on this land as her children. That was why she occasionally helped the people of Jiang Jin.
Until today, she had never thought that she would be liked by her 'child'. Even though she had lived for thousands of years, she had no knowledge in this area and her mind was in a mess.
"Wait, wait a minute! We've only met a few times! "
"No, from the first time we met, I was deeply attracted to your kindness!"
"You actually had your eyes on me from the first time we met?!"
"I didn't repeat myself. From then on, I had already made up my mind! I want to become someone worthy of Miss, and then ask for Miss' hand in marriage openly! "
"You actually admitted it!"
Seeing that the other party was getting closer and closer, Zhuo Xiangzhu felt a little dizzy. She didn't know whether to move or escape. She felt like she was in a dilemma. If this was a manga, her eyes would probably have turned into mosquito coils by now.
However, at this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently.
"Ah, it's an earthquake! I'll go take a look! "
The girl's eyes lit up and then quickly ran out of the Earth God Temple like a frightened rabbit …
☆
At this moment, the small alley from before had become a mess.
The ground seemed to have been flipped over and the bluestone bricks that were originally laid on the road were scattered all over the ground.
In the middle of the small alley, there was a bottomless pit the size of a well.
"Hmph, since she has fallen into the hands of you demons, she has already made up her mind. Kill her!"
The Earth God Loli, who was originally standing on the wall arrogantly, was now miserably lying on the ground.
"Kekeke, how could I bear to kill such a beautiful girl!"
Xu Shenxing said with a sly smile.
"Hey, hey, you're already acting like a villain!" Xiao Zhengyi, who was literally covered in dirt, said with an embarrassed expression, "If it wasn't for the fact that I reckoned that no one in this dream would be able to beat you, maybe a hero would appear later on …"
"Mo Li, help me lift up her butt!"
Xu Shenxing didn't care about Xiao Zhengyi's ridicule and instead ordered Mo Li who was spitting out the dirt in his mouth.
"Oh ~" Mo Li raised his small hand in response.
"Wait, what are you trying to do, demon?!"
The Earth God Loli immediately panicked when she heard this. Like a salted fish, she twisted her body and struggled. However, no matter how she struggled, she couldn't escape from Mo Li and Xu Shenxing's imprisonment.
The scene of the two Lolis twisting together was quite pleasing to the eye.
Perhaps everyone had the same feeling. Compared to a motionless doll, hugging a kitten or puppy that would occasionally move was more interesting.
Based on this principle, the Earth God Loli's struggle not only had no effect, but it also made Xu Shenxing even more excited.
"Kekeke, it's useless. Even if you scream yourself hoarse, no one will come to save you!"
"No, no, no, wait for me!" Xiao Zhengyi shouted, "If you have sex with a girl under the age of 14, it's considered rape regardless of whether the other party is willing or not! I can't sit by and watch my friend become a rapist! "
"Rape your head! I just want to spank her butt. What are you thinking? "
Xu Shenxing looked at Xiao Zhengyi with disdain.
"Eh, dirty." Mo Li, who had run to Xu Shenxing's side at some point, stared at Xiao Zhengyi with a disdainful expression. "Speak."
"Damn it! I've been played again! "Xiao Zhengyi was instantly speechless.
However, compared to the others, there was one who was even more unlucky.
"Wait, you definitely can't spank her butt! Quickly stop, otherwise she'll definitely let the big miss teach you a lesson! "
"Don't worry." Xu Shenxing comforted him.
"Hmph, it's good that you know to be afraid …"
"I'll control my strength until you can still sit on the chair."
Our hero said with a pleasant countenance.
"Eh, eh, eh —!"
