In the ruined temple, the two sat on the ground.

Song Li's expression was quite solemn, and he looked at Shi Yuanji who was not far away.

In his opinion, Shi Yuanji is full of secrets, and he must be absolutely cautious so as not to fall into the trap set by others.

"Master, what the hell is going on, why do you want to cooperate with me, what is your relationship with the Xishan Sect, and why has the Great Compassion Temple become his stronghold. ”

Song Li has a lot of problems, and he has to figure out the relationship between the two sides before he can make a plan.

Shi Yuanji sighed lightly, his eyes a little dim.

He told the story from the beginning.

About 30 years ago, the incense of the Great Compassion Temple was at its peak, and the abbot at that time was Kukai Daishi.

Master Kukai consults with others, is kind and generous, has a very good reputation in the entire Xiguan City, and is also a leader among cultivators, and his strength is quite good.

At that time, some people ranked, saying that Master Kukai was a person outside the world, otherwise with his strength, he would definitely not be below the Master of Cixian Palace.

At that time, there was no Xishan Sect, and the entire Xiguancheng only knew about the Great Compassion Temple.

Until one day, a young man in his thirties, in ragged clothes, with red eyes, looked like he was crazy, and he bit people when he saw them.

It was Master Kukai who saved him and brought him back to the Temple of Great Compassion.

That young man is the current head of the Xishan Sect, Kong Lei.

At that time, Kong Lei lived in the Great Compassion Temple for half a year, and discussed and practiced with Master Kukai every day, and everything went smoothly, but a year later, Master Kukai suddenly announced that he would go out to practice and hand over the affairs of the Great Compassion Temple to Kong Lei to take care of.

Kong Lei's strength is indeed a heavy responsibility.

At first, everything went well, but after Kong Lei introduced lay disciples, the painting style of the Great Compassion Temple changed abruptly, and the elders of the temple were driven out one by one, and finally Kong Lei alone took over the power and established the Xishan Sect.

"Song Li, my uncle was angry with Kong Lei, so I swear that I must expose Kong Lei's true face and find Master Kukai. ”

Song Li nodded and looked at Shi Yuanji.

"So, did you find any clues, so you're sure that Master Kukai has been poisoned by Kong Lei and needs to cooperate with me. ”

"That's right, there is a sinkhole in the northwest corner of the Great Compassion Temple, which was originally a place for the priests of our Great Compassion Temple to practice, but more than twenty years ago, Kong Lei suddenly issued an order to transform the sinkhole into a heavenly pavilion for serving immortals, but without permission, no one is allowed to approach, and it is also heavily guarded, and it is difficult for ordinary people to approach. ”

"So, you suspect that Kukai Dahai is not dead, but was locked up in the gym by Kong Lei. ”

Shi Yuanji got up with a solemn expression.

"Not only Master Kukai, but also your friend, he duel with Zhou Chang outside this broken temple last night, originally he won, but Kong Lei suddenly appeared and turned the situation around, I followed Zhou Chang all the way and found that he sent people to the Heavenly Pavilion!"

Song Li also got up and looked at Shi Yuanji suspiciously.

It's not that he can't believe it, but he thinks it's inconceivable.

He knew Kong Lei's strength, it was not easy for Shi Yuanji to be able to fill his head, if he didn't figure out this matter, he couldn't give it a go.

"How did you do that?"

Shi Yuanji had already prepared, but he saw that he quickly retreated to the wall, and the aura in his whole body suddenly dissipated, and if he hadn't deliberately observed, he wouldn't have been able to discover his existence at all.

"Song Li, this is the turtle breath method of our Great Compassion Temple, which can completely erase its own aura, I can teach it to you now, it should be used!"

Song Li saw it in his eyes and was quite surprised.

He really didn't expect that there was this kind of turtle breath method, originally he thought that he was hiding his breath, and it was already a very powerful move.

But before the method of turtle breath, it was still a small thing.

The two talked for a while, and Song Li got through at one point, and he mastered the trick of the turtle breath method on the spot, and even Shi Yuanji was amazed.

He practiced this simple method of holding his breath for five years.

After a brief conversation, the two agreed to meet at the foot of the mountain in the evening.

After speaking, Shi Yuanji quickly left.

Song Li looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he returned to the city along the path.

He was not afraid of being discovered, and went straight to the castle guard's mansion.

According to Shi Yuanji, Zhou Chang was injured last night, and it seemed that he really underestimated Fang Shang, which was the fundamental reason why he ran out by himself in the middle of the night, and he owed him an apology.

Song Li planned to meet Zhou Chang to assess his injuries and, if necessary, to add a little burden to him by the way.

After all, one less enemy means more hope.

Soon, Song Li came to the gate of the city guard's mansion.

The soldier guarding the door did not wait for him to approach, and came directly with a long sword, his expression was quite serious.

"What are you doing standing still, the city guard is under martial law today, no one is allowed to approach, the sword has no eyes, if you don't want to die, just fucking get away!"

The soldier was very angry, and he didn't take Song Li seriously at all.

Song Li was quite calm and looked at the soldiers.

"Please inform me, just say that Song Li wants to see him. ”

Song Li reported to his home, originally thinking that the soldier would be surprised, but who knew that he didn't react at all, as if he didn't know who he was.

"I don't care what your name is, no matter who it is today, even if the city lord comes, without the order of Lord Zhou, it is impossible for him to go in half a step. ”

The soldiers are crazy, but this is also the current situation in Xiguan City.

The Xishan Sect is the dominant family, and the city lord is not their opponent at all, and as Zhou Chang's family soldier, he is naturally superior.

Song Li smiled and looked at the soldiers.

"I advise you to report it, Zhou Chang will blame it for a while, I'm afraid you can't afford it, but don't blame me for not reminding you. ”

The soldier snorted coldly and waved his hand.

"Dog mongrel, dare to threaten me, what kind of big official I haven't seen, I've never seen you so horizontal, move me, you moved. ”

The words fell, and the nearby soldiers moved together.

Although they are only soldiers, they are soldiers of the city guard, which is equivalent to half of the people of the Xishan Sect.

Guarding here on weekdays, even the city lord came over and was polite to him, where did this madman come out of nowhere, and he was so ashamed!

If this alarms Lord Zhou, the consequences will be really unimaginable.

The soldiers went one after the other, their movements were scattered, and there was no order to speak of.

Song Li didn't even bother to use the blood sword, and stood in place.

With just a slight shock of his left hand, all the besieging soldiers were shaken away, and they were all gray and dirty, lying on the ground, not even daring to take a breath.

They never thought that Song Li was still a cultivator.

Just then, the whistle blew.

"A cultivator is coming!"

I don't know who shouted, and many soldiers rushed out of the door, more than 30 people in front and back, and the water from Song Liwei was impassable.

As long as there is a slight change, the consequences are at your own risk.

Soon, a man who looked like a butler came out, followed by a disciple of the Xishan Sect.

The soldier hurried over, quite respectful.

"Steward Zhou, this guy came here to make trouble, I already said that Lord Zhou didn't see a guest today, he still wanted to break in and injured our people. ”

The soldier pointed to his comrades everywhere, his eyes full of anger.

This dog mongrel, he will be good-looking for a while.

Steward Zhou frowned slightly and looked at Song Li.

After all, when it comes to cultivators, one must be careful.

"Everyone, why did you come to my city guard mansion to make trouble!"

Song Li smiled and looked at Steward Zhou.

"It seems that your family soldiers are also deaf, I have already said very much, my name is Song Li, I am here to see Lord Zhou, why do you want to stop me. ”

As soon as Song Li opened his mouth, Steward Zhou was taken aback.

Zhou Changqian told him that if there was a person named Song Li who came over, just follow his wishes.

"You are, destroy it alone, that Song Li of Xuanhu Gate!"

"It's me, so it's not difficult for me to tear down one of your little castle guards. ”

When the soldier heard this, he was frightened, his legs weakened, and he knelt down on the spot.

"Song Li, Brother Li, you heard me explain, I really didn't mean it, I just gave an order from above, and I can't refuse to carry it out. ”

The soldier blamed Zhou Chang for the matter, portraying himself as a poor soldier who only obeyed orders and had no self-awareness.

Song Li smiled, his eyes full of disdain.

As soon as Steward Zhou saw it, he knew that Song Li was not satisfied, so he kicked the soldier on the spot, picked up the leather whip on the side, and whipped the soldier violently.

"There are no beads in the eyes, the mouth is full of feces, and he deserves to be beaten!"
