Cold Priest VS Ancient Ferocious Beast

The two talked about everything they had seen and heard today, and the night gradually deepened.

"Sir, would you like to take a bath?" asked Mo Zhu.

"Thought."

"There's a hot spring pool in the back hills. It's curfew now, so there shouldn't be anyone there."

"You're a divine servant, and you're still out during curfew."

"If no one sees me...I won't be considered to have gone out."

"Wow... you're already letting go on your first day here. It was really hard for you in the fairy world before."

"Do you want to go to the hot springs, sir?"

"Yeah." Su Qingchen nodded expectantly.

With that, the two of them walked towards the hot spring together.

"How do you know there is a hot spring here?" Su Qingchen asked.

"I checked everywhere around the temple today."

"What an excellent divine servant! What else is there near the temple?"

"There is also the Bashan Po Po Temple."

"...No wonder you spoke so fluently before. Did you go to pay your respects?"

"Greetings."

"Ah."

After passing through a forest, the two of them arrived at the hot spring.

Mo Zhu supported Su Qingchen and stepped into the warm water.

"Wow...it's so...comfortable." Su Qingchen was enjoying it very much. He played with the water in his hands and slowly leaned towards Mo Zhu.

Mo Zhu just sat there quietly without saying anything.

Suddenly, a very subtle rustling sound was heard, and Su Qingchen was shocked. Before he could say anything, Mo Zhu sank into the water by himself.

Su Qingchen looked carefully and saw Tian Nu and Peng San again in the woods not far away, and this time there were a few more people.

"Second brother, can you please stop smoking your pipe? The wick is too obvious."

"Why are you feeling guilty? There's no one around here at this time." The second brother continued to smoke regardless.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you! High Priest, it's rare that you have such a heart. You know the events of the past few years best. If the problem isn't that woman, where else could it be?"

The person who spoke seemed to be Tian Nu, but Su Qingchen didn't expect that there was a high priest among these people.

"Shh..." After someone made a soft hissing sound, Su Qingchen concentrated very hard to listen but could not hear any sound, but those people were clearly there.

They didn't stay there long and left together.

Mo Zhu silently sat up from the water again.

"I didn't hear anything." Su Qingchen was still looking in the direction where the group disappeared.

"Maybe the high priest sensed you."

"Why can't I sense you?" Su Qingchen didn't want to admit that he had messed up.

"It could also be that he sensed me." Mo Zhu admitted immediately.

"Did you hear anything?" Su Qingchen asked.

"No."

"Then what should we do? The two people who were talking behind the temple last night were named Tian Nu and Peng San. Tian Nu seemed to be trying to do something to Madam and her child. He even came to the temple today. But I haven't heard what he did."

"During the Tianwen Terrace sacrifice, they could directly create an omen pointing to the Madam, and have Tian Nu lead the charge to execute her on the spot. Or they could have Peng San's sister, who serves in the palace, put the slow-acting poison prepared by the high priest into the Madam's food. And... they could create chaos on the way to Tianwen Terrace with the Tusi King and his wife, and take advantage of the chaos to kill the Madam. And... uh... they could have the midwife kill the baby during birth... and..."

Mo Zhu recited very seriously.

"Where do you get all these ideas?"

"I also went to Tianwen Terrace today. They kept talking about this when they were moving things there. They mentioned about twenty methods. Now they're at the back mountain. Maybe they haven't made up their minds yet."

"They are really imaginative... Why didn't you tell me before?" Su Qingchen felt that he had missed a very important information.

"They haven't decided what they're going to do yet."

"But with so many of them, each one is difficult to defend against."

"Let's talk about it after they can make up their minds." Mo Zhu was a little indifferent.

"The sacrifice will be held the day after tomorrow, so you better be serious."

"There's still a day tomorrow, so take a rest today, sir."

"Ah? I don't have a day, and I can't leave the temple. What can I do?" Su Qingchen was very anxious. Seeing Mo Zhu's somewhat indifferent attitude, Su Qingchen was a little angry.

Mo Zhu sighed softly, "Sir, you must guard the temple well. We still don't know how the last god disappeared. The temple must have a real god to benefit the citizens. It is also very important that you stay in the temple well. Leave the things outside to me."

"Oh..." Su Qingchen suddenly felt that what he said before was a bit heavy.

"Let's go back?"

"Oh..." Su Qingchen lost his temper.

The bed in the bedroom is still arranged according to the Su Temple.

Mo Zhu's bamboo couch faced the door, and Su Qingchen's bed was in the inner room.

Su Qingchen lay on the warm bed and whispered before falling asleep: "Mo Zhu, I'm so lucky to have you around."

A warm feeling welled up in Mo Zhu's heart, making him feel numb, but he just replied calmly: "Go to sleep, sir."
