Today's temple is the same as usual, and it is full of devotees who come to offer incense and worship. Although there were many people, the entire temple gate was quiet and solemn.

Although there was a long queue, there was no impatience on everyone's faces, and one by one they maintained a pious mentality, and stepped forward in order to close to the incense.

For a moment, the entire hall was filled with a cloud of smoke, enveloping the tall statue of the god. And next to the table and chair on the side of the statue, Lu Jiu, who was wearing a Taoist robe, was sitting there with an unfathomable look, answering the doubts of the believers.

"Huh?"

A flash of surprise suddenly flashed on the focused face, and he looked up at the outside of the temple gate, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. Then he quietly bowed his head and answered a few more words, then got up from his seat, walked to the middle of the hall, and saluted slightly:

"There are some private matters at the temple gate today, please come back tomorrow, if there is anything wrong, please do a lot of Haihan!"

"Shan Long, there will be a guest coming, when he arrives, invite him to the backyard to meet. ”

Regarding the discussion among believers, Lu Jiu did not pay any more attention. Instead, he looked at Shan Long and the others in the courtyard, and casually explained, then turned around and walked towards the backyard.

After the believers left with doubts, Shan Long and the three of them glanced at each other for no reason, and then instinctively took various tools and quickly cleaned up.

The experience of many days has taught them that since the old guy inside attaches so much importance to the people who come, it is better for him to be diligent. In case the temple is not cleaned and is seen by the guests, I am afraid that I and others will not have good fruit to eat.

Thinking of this, the three of them couldn't help but feel sour in their hearts. After gnawing on the dried steamed buns for so many days, I have long forgotten what the meat taste is, and I really don't know when this kind of hard life will come to an end.

For a while, everyone carried the bitterness in their hearts, and silently cleaned the courtyard without any communication. Only the sound of the broom rubbing against the ground rustled non-stop.

"Knock knock!"

A sound of slow footsteps suddenly came in from outside, although it was still a long way from here, but it couldn't hide the ears of the three of Shan Long. After a while, the footsteps came to a halt outside the temple gate.

"Humph!"

At this moment, a cold snort suddenly sounded at the gate, and it entered the courtyard with a great might. When the three of Shan Long heard this, a roar immediately sounded in their heads, and their bodies stiffened suddenly, and they turned their heads to look at the gate with expressions of disbelief.

"Master!" "Old Gang Master!"

After seeing the faces of the people who came, a burst of ecstasy rose on the faces of the three people, and they couldn't help but cheer. At this moment, I felt a stream of heat flowing in my chest, and the hardships were indescribable.

It was only when they were about to step forward to greet them that they noticed that the other party's sword-like gaze was looking at the broom in everyone's hands, and their faces were covered with frost.

The three of them secretly said bad in their hearts, and hurriedly threw the tools aside, looking extremely embarrassed.

"The gang leader, elder, and hall master of the dignified Cao Gang, look at the three of you where there is still any bit of power at all, the face of the gang has made you lose everything. The face of the person who came still maintained the previous frost, and he scolded in a cold tone.

"Master, we are also forced to be helpless, the other party's strength is too strong, you have to call the shots for us." Shan Long put on a sad expression, stepped forward and took two quick steps, and explained with a flustered expression.

As the only apprentice of the comer, Shan Long can be said to know his master's temper very well. has been on the rivers and lakes for decades, and he cares about the face to the extreme. If you can't give him a satisfactory answer, then the other party is not here to save people when he goes up the mountain today, but to "clean up the portal".

"It's because we are not good guards, and I ask the old gang leader to punish him. It's just the land of Jiangdong, after all, it involves the gang's future hundred-year plan, please allow me to help you seize this place, and then kill or chop, we will never complain. Wu Tiannan and Elder Qu glanced at each other, knelt on the ground without hesitation, and said in an atmospheric manner.

"Alas, forget it, get up, if I really wanted your life, I wouldn't be here today. The master who detained you is in the courtyard?" The old man raised his hands in the void, and looked at the temple gate with a faint killing intent.

"That senior. . . No, that old monster is waiting for you in the backyard. Hearing this, Shan Long couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to reply.

"Okay, very good, let the old man come and see it today. What is he capable of daring to humiliate my gang like this. The old man sneered and walked slowly towards the courtyard.

At the same time, an incomparably powerful momentum surged out of him. This momentum was like a mountain and the moon, and there was a trace of ferocity like a beast, which turned into a rolling torrent and crushed towards the building in front of him.

"Hahaha, it's a guest from afar, I've prepared tea, why don't we meet and talk." ”

A hearty laughter suddenly sounded in the courtyard, and the power it carried completely dissolved the torrent just now, making it disappear into invisibility without causing the slightest ripple.

The old man's face changed, his eyes revealed a trace of vigilance, and the momentum exuded from his body retreated into his body like a tide at this moment. Then without saying a word, he took a step and walked inside.

Shan Long and the three followed, with a hint of excitement in their eyes, as if they had finally taken revenge, revealing an infinitely hideous expression.

"Master, he's the old monster. When he entered the backyard, Shan Long pointed to Lu Jiu, who was making tea, and said through gritted teeth.

"Shut up, it's not your right to talk. The old man snorted coldly and roared without looking back. Then he looked forward with a serious face, hugged his fists and said: "The old man is Long Aojun, the former leader of the Cao Gang, I don't know what Your Excellency calls him?"

"You can call me Lu Jiu. ”

Lu Jiu indifferently pushed the brewed tea forward, pointed to the seat next to him, and said lightly, "It's a guest from afar, I have a pot of tea, you have never drunk it, you might as well sit down and taste one or two." ”

"Tea is free, why the old man came here today, I think Your Excellency should know very well. The old man stood in place without moving, and a faint killing intent slowly emerged from his body.

"The affairs of the rivers and lakes are naturally the rivers and lakes, but I advise you to sit down for me. The tea brewed by Lu Jiu is a good thing, and it would be a pity if it was wasted. ”

A faint chuckle suddenly came from the main hall, and Lin Nan appeared in front of everyone with light steps. There seemed to be infinite magic between the words, which made the murderous aura on the old man's body suddenly dissolve into intangible.
