The boss looked at the more than 20 corpses outside, shuddered, and said, "The evil tiger is inside, you, you, you...... You've killed them all, this, this, this...... How's that good?"

Yu Deyuan said: "Boss, don't worry, we won't affect you." ”

Yu Deyuan ordered the guards around him to dispose of the corpses. The guards quickly disposed of more than 20 corpses, leaving no traces.

The two monks who were rescued by Xia Yu were stunned for a long time before they came back to their senses, and the master saluted Xia Yu and said, "Poor Ni Shuiyin and the little apprentice Yun'er, thank you." ”

Xia Yu returned the salute to Shui Yin and Yun'er, and said, "The master is polite, I don't know where the master lives, how did he come to this remote place?"

Shui Yin said: "Donor, our master and apprentice are wandering monks. ”

"Wandering monk?" Xia Yu blinked in confusion.

Yun'er hid behind Shui Yin, looked at Xia Yu a little shyly, and said, "You Fang Monk is a monk who lives in a fixed place and walks and cultivates. ”

Shui Yin said: "The world is in turmoil, and the killing is continuous, and we, as believers in the Bodhisattva, should have a compassionate heart to benefit all sentient beings. ”

Yu Deyuan said beside him: "Master, you two women, weak bodies, in this troubled world, it is still difficult to protect yourself, how can you benefit all sentient beings?"

Shui Yin said: "This benefactor's words are wrong, Pudu sentient beings do not rely on fists, but on a compassionate heart......

Shui Yin wanted to discuss religious issues with Yu Deyuan, but Yu Deyuan interrupted Shui Yin's words and said: "Master, the abbot of Xiangguo Temple in Nandu City and I know each other, why don't I write a letter, you master and apprentice take the letter to Nandu City, and the abbot will treat the two of you well." ”

Shui Yin said: "Thank you for the kindness of the young master, it's just that the monk is determined to travel all over the world and spread the gospel of the Bodhisattva, and he can't give up halfway." ”

If you want to say who is the most persistent in this world, Xia Yu thinks that it must be the most persistent people who believe in religion. It's just that this attachment is a kind of stubbornness in the eyes of secular people.

Yu Deyuan said: "Okay, since the master has made a grand wish, I will not interfere with the master. ”

Shui Yin and Yun'er thanked Xia Yu and Yu Deyuan again, said goodbye to them, and walked out of the small restaurant.

When leaving, Yun'er glanced at Xia Yu, and the two looked at each other, Yun'er immediately withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and her little face was red and hot.

After Xia Yu and Yu Deyuan had a meal in the small restaurant, they got into the carriage and continued to hurry. When it was evening, the sky was dark, Yu Deyuan and Xia Yu were not natives of Sangcheng, they didn't recognize the road, they turned around and got lost.

Night was about to fall, and the strange cries of birds and beasts sounded in the woods, and people were terrified to hear it.

Yu Deyuan frowned and said, "Are we going to camp out in this wilderness tonight?"

Xia Yu said: "Your Highness, don't worry, this road is walked by people, let's go along this road, we will definitely find a place where people live." ”

So far, Yudeyuan has no good way, so he has to order everyone to go along the road.

As we walked, night fell, the stars twinkled, and it was already dark, and everyone thought that they would not be able to get out of this forest tonight.

At this moment, one of the guards suddenly pointed to the hill in the distance and shouted, "There is a light there!"

Everyone raised their spirits and looked at the guards' fingers, and sure enough, they saw the lights on the hill.

Yu Deyuan was overjoyed and said, "Let's go there to stay and go!"

Xia Yu and Yu Deyuan came to the hill and found that the place where the lights were lit was a Taoist temple, and the Taoist temple was surrounded by grass and trees, which seemed a little desolate.

Xia Yu observed carefully and found that this Taoist temple was gloomy and strange.

Yu Deyuan's guards were a little tired after a day's journey, thinking about resting earlier, but they didn't care, they were very arrogant, and they knocked on the door of the Taoist temple.

After knocking for a while, no one responded inside, and the guards increased their strength, bang, bang, bang, knocking on the two doors so that they were about to fall apart.

"Is there anybody, is there anybody, hey, is there anybody?!"

The guards banged on the door and shouted, and finally there was a response from inside, someone took down the wooden bolt, and the two doors creaked and slowly opened.

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy carried a lantern, looked at the guards through the crack in the door, and asked, "Who are you?"

These guards were all warriors, with a rough voice, very fierce, Yu Deyuan was afraid that they would scare the little dao boys, waved his hand, told the little dao boys to retreat, stepped forward, smiled, and said: "Little master, we are pedestrians in a hurry, lost our way, and want to spend the night here." ”

Xiao Daotong saw that Yu Deyuan was quite kind, and his panic subsided a little, and said, "This is my voice to the master, you are waiting here." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Daotong closed the door and turned to the presiding officer of the Taoist temple. Just go and listen to the book

The presiding officer of this Taoist temple is in his fifties, thin, long, with a gray beard hanging down to his stomach, and holding a whisk in his hand, which looks a bit like a fairy wind and bones.

The abbot bowed to Yu Deyuan and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable," and said: "Several donors, poor Dao Lingjizi, are the masters of this Xuantian Temple. ”

"I've seen the Daoist," Yu Deyuan returned the salute to Lingjizi and said, "Daoist, a few of us are going to Sangcheng, got lost, came here, and wanted to spend the night. ”

Lingjizi said: "Monks are supposed to help others, but the Taoist view of the poor path is a little inconvenient. ”

A few guards thought that Lingjizi was making a gesture, took out a large piece of silver, and said, "Old Dao, we will give you the silver and make a few rooms for us to stay for one night." ”

Lingjizi said: "This is not a matter of silver. ”

The guards were furious and said, "Old Dao, what do you mean by being verbose and pushing?"

"Don't be rude!" Yu Deyuan glared at a few guards, then turned to Lingjizi and said, "Master, we just need a place to live, and please make it convenient." ”

Lingjizi frowned, stroked his beard, pondered for a long time, and said: "Poor Dao can let you stay here for one night, but you must listen to Poor Dao's words and stay in the room and don't go out." ”

Yu Deyuan said: "Okay, master, we will stay in the room honestly and will not cause trouble for you." ”

Lingjizi nodded, shook off the dust, waved his hand, and said, "Everyone, please come here." ”

Yu Deyuan, Xia Yu and the guards followed Lingjizi and stepped into the Xuantian Temple. The inside of the Xuantian Temple was quiet, with only a few houses dimly lit. The lights flickered, reflecting the empty room, and there was no one to be seen.

Xia Yu, Yu Deyuan, and the guards all felt strange, why couldn't they see a few people in the huge Xuantian Temple?

Some of the guards looked around, and the spirit immediately shook off the dust, coughed, and said with a straight face: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't look around, when you get to the room for a while, stay honestly, and remember not to go out before dawn, this is for your good." ”

Xia Yu asked, "Master, what is going on in your Taoist temple, why don't you let us go out?"

Lingjizi said: "Donor, the monks are merciful, and the poor way is doing this for your own good, and you don't need to ask about superfluous things." ”

The guards looked at Lingjizi and pursed their lips, thinking to themselves, this old way can really pretend to be forced.

Lingjizi and the little Taoist took Yu Deyuan and Xia Yu to the door of a row of rooms, and Lingjizi said, "Donors, you can live here tonight." ”

The guards pushed open the door, took out the fire fold, and went into the room to inspect it, and the room was clean, with wooden beds, tables and chairs, and there was no danger.

After the inspection, the guards invited Yu Deyuan into the room, and Yu Deyuan saluted Ling Jizi again and said, "Thank you, Master." ”

"You're welcome," Lingjizi said, "Fellow donors, you must listen to the poor Dao, stay in your room before dawn, and don't go out." ”

Yu Deyuan said: "Master, don't worry, we won't go out." ”

"Good night, donors," Lingjizi shook the dust and turned away with the little Taoist priest.

The guards looked at the back of Lingjizi and said: "This bull-nosed old man, mysterious and secretive, is playing tricks there, looking at his face, I want to beat him." ”

Yu Deyuan said: "People have taken us in, we should be grateful to others, don't slander people here." ”

The guards closed their mouths and stopped talking, Xia Yu said, "Your Highness, it's not too early, you should rest early." ”

Yu Deyuan said: "General Xia, you should also rest early, everyone rests." ”

Lingjizi arranged three rooms for Yu Deyuan and Xia Yu, Xia Yu and the two personal guards lived in the middle room, and Xia Yu and the rest of the guards lived in the rooms on both sides.

There is only one bed in a room, which is not enough for everyone to sleep, Xia Yu took out a few spirit fox skins and said: "Everyone spread this spirit fox skin on the ground, which can be cold and moisture-proof." ”

"Thank you, General Xia," the guards took the fox skin, spread it on the ground, lay down, and fell asleep.

Xia Yu endured his exhaustion, crossed his knees and closed his eyes, thinking about entering the world of divine consciousness to cultivate for a while before going to sleep.

Xia Yu found that the emerald he got in the cliff golden eagle nest has a limit to absorbing the essence of heaven and earth every day, and this limit seems to be related to his own cultivation, the higher his cultivation, the more essence of heaven and earth he can absorb.

Xia Yu controlled the emerald and absorbed a little heaven and earth essence. The essence of this heaven and earth cannot be absorbed too much, otherwise, this Xuantian Temple will suffer, the grass and trees will die, the earth will collapse, and it will become a barren land.

Xia Yu cultivated for a while, opened his eyes, let out a long breath, and saw that the guards around him were already snoring like thunder.

Xia Yu moved his muscles and bones a few times, sleepiness hit, yawned, stretched his waist, and was about to fall asleep.

At this moment, there was a rustling sound outside the window.
