The man in black seemed stunned, looking at the abyss, standing motionless. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, another figure suddenly flew over, it was Abbot Xuanci.
Seeing the man in black, Xuan Ci didn't seem to be panicked, and said in a low voice: "It seems that he has been solved by you!"
"You guys are really a waste, so many people, you can't solve an unarmed Mo Xiaotian, hum!" the man in black said coldly.
"Hehe, for the sake of a star sword, you have to get rid of him, is this really good?" Xuan Ci asked.
"You dare to question me?" snapped the man in black.
"Don't dare, don't dare, how dare I!" Xuan Ci laughed repeatedly.
"This is not just for the Star Sword, don't forget, who rescued you from the Wulin League, who made you the abbot of Shaolin, hum!"
Xuan Ci was silent, looking at the man in black and just smiling.
"Someone is coming, you come to my room tonight, I have something to tell you. With that, the man in black turned around and left.
Xuan Ci looked at the back of the man in black leaving, and was silent again, for a long time.
Then, all the disciples in the temple also found here, and when they saw Xuan Ci here, they asked one after another, saying that they couldn't find Mo Xiaotian.
Xuan Ci said: "Don't look for it, I've already rolled off the cliff, I'm afraid that by dawn, even the corpse will be eaten by the wolf, go back......!"
In the land of Sichuan and Shu, in an ordinary mountain inn, a person suddenly woke up from a dream, seemed to realize something, looked at the sky, and his restless heart kept beating.
"Sister Yun, what's wrong with you?" It turned out that this person was Leng Yunxi, needless to say, the person who asked was Lin Munan.
"No, I had a dream, I dreamed that Xiaotian was getting farther and farther away from me, and I couldn't catch him" Leng Yunxi replied softly, and there was a little choked.
"Hehe, how can it be, Xiaotian likes you so much, go to sleep quickly!" Lin Munan said.
"Xiao Nan, I can't sleep, talk to me!" Leng Yunxi said.
Lin Munan got up and sat up, lit the lamp and said: "Sister Yun, this is the so-called lovesickness, lovesickness, lovesickness, how many mandarin ducks don't know the way." He smiled slightly.
"Xiao Nan, you laugh at me" Leng Yunxi snorted.
"Hehe, how can it be? I'm envious of you, I think Xiaotian must be thinking about you too!" Lin Munan smiled.
"You said that we hid so far away in Sichuan and Shu, can Xiaotian find us?" Leng Yunxi asked.
"Don't worry, I've left marks along the way, and I've sent letters to him, he'll be here soon," Lin Munan said.
"Xiao Nan, why do you have to bring me to Sichuan and Shu? It's too far here," Leng Yunxi asked.
"Sister Yun, you have lost all your skills, staying in the Central Plains is too dangerous, I am worried that if you are not protected well, you will not have the face to see Xiaotian, and there is, I want to go to Mount Emei to find someone. Lin Munan said.
"The person you're looking for must be a girl!" Leng Yunxi laughed.
Lin Munan's face turned red and lowered his head, as if he was shy.
"Hehe, actually, I feel very sorry for bothering you," Leng Yunxi whispered.
"Where, Sister Yun, friends should help each other. Hey, Sister Yun, what are you holding in your hand?" Lin Munan seemed to see that Leng Yunxi was playing with something.
"Oh, what do you say?" said and raised his hand, it was a string of faded Buddha beads, "Speaking of which, this string of Buddha beads was stolen from Xiaotian, and I never had a chance to return it to him" Thinking of this, Leng Yunxi smiled slightly.
"Can you show me?"
"Yes!" he said, handing over the beads.
Lin Mu Nan took the Buddha beads and looked at them, "This seems to be a very ordinary string of Buddha beads! Huh, wait, this place seems to be cracked" said and took the Buddha beads and shone at the light.
Under the light, there was a thin crack there, glowing red.
"It's strange, it's obviously a string of wooden beads, how can it reveal a red light?" Lin Munan wondered.
Then he gently pinched it with his hand, and peeled off a layer of skin from the bead, and it turned out to be a translucent blood-red jade bead.
Peeling them off one by one, every bead is so translucent.
The two were stunned at the same time, never expecting that this Buddha bead turned out to be inside.
Shining in the light again, if you look closely, the word Xuanwu faintly appears.
"Xuanwu Blood Bead?" the two of them said at the same time.
At this time, a figure flashed in front of the window, and Lin Munan shouted, "Who?" and then flew forward and pushed the door open.
There was a person standing in front of the door, Lin Munan grabbed his right hand and shouted loudly: "Who are you? ”
The man was frightened by this, and said continuously: "It's me, it's me, I'm the shopkeeper, see ...... Seeing that the guest officer hadn't turned off the lights so late, I wanted to ask what happened, who would have thought that as soon as I arrived at the door, I would be caught by the guest officer."
Hearing this, he let go of his hand and said, "It's none of your business, get out, don't meddle in the future" Lin Munan roared.
The shopkeeper didn't go back, he ran away, and went downstairs.
"Xiao Nan, do you really believe what Xiao Er said?" Leng Yunxi said.
"Don't worry, Sister Yun, I have probed his veins, there is no internal strength, he is an ordinary person. Lin Mu Nan said.
Nodding, looking at the Buddha bead in his hand, Leng Yunxi was puzzled: "Could it be that this is the Xuanwu blood bead rumored on the rivers and lakes?"
"There's the word Xuanwu on it, it's very likely! You said you got it from Xiaotian?"
"Well, he always carried it in his hand, as if it was his grandfather's relic?" Leng Yunxi said.
"He is the descendant of the remnant sword slanting sun, and the grandfather he said seems to be Xie Ziyang, and this string of Buddha beads should be the Xuanwu blood beads. Lin Munan speculated.
"It turns out that the Xuanwu Blood Beads are a string of Buddha beads, who would have thought that? So what should we do now?" Leng Yunxi asked.
"The treasure of martial arts, the blood bead of Xuanwu. Walking alone, no one is convinced. This sentence has been passed down for decades, and I don't know what the secret of this bead is," he said, taking a closer look.
After a long time, he shook his head again, as if he hadn't found anything, and said slowly: "This seems to be just a string of very ordinary jade beads, if it weren't for the word Xuanwu on it, it's really hard to believe, but once this thing spreads, I'm afraid it will definitely cause a fight in the rivers and lakes, so it must be kept secret!"
"Xiao Nan, just let it go to you, your martial arts are so good!" Leng Yunxi said.
"No, it's definitely not safe to put me here, Sister Yun, you hide it well, you are a weak woman, no one would think that the blood beads are on you, see Xiaotian another day, and then return it to him." Lin Munan said.
Nodding, Leng Yunxi hid the beads in his arms.
"Sister Yun, let's treat it as if we didn't make a sound now, turn off the lights and go to bed, and we will continue to rush tomorrow. With that, he turned off the lights and lay down.
By the time Leng Yunxi woke up, the sky had already dawned, and Lin Munan was standing in front of the window, ready for breakfast.
"Sister Yun, you're awake! You wash up and eat first, I'll go to the town to change two horses, and then we'll go to Mount Emei." With that, he went downstairs.
Leng Yunxi smiled slightly, and said, "This kid is a bit like a wave. ”
After a simple breakfast, Leng Yunxi was already waiting outside the inn.
The morning breeze is accompanied by a light glow, and the willow leaves blow the green water. It's a good time in May, and it's rare to taste it in life. The mind is clear, the heart is calm, the breath is comfortable, and the body is floating. Don't ask about the troubles of the rivers and lakes, I am willing to get drunk for the world.
Leng Yunxi looked at the scenery not far away, and couldn't help but be intoxicated, sure enough, not long after, Lin Munan walked over with two horses, wearing a straw hat on his head and a long sword straddling his waist.
Looking at Leng Yunxi, who was intoxicated, Lin Munan smiled: "Sister Yun has a heart that is easy to get drunk!"
"Xiao Nan, it's not that I'm easy to get drunk, you see that the scenery of Sichuan and Shu is really not inferior to the land south of the Yangtze River, just a corner of the mountain, but it has a different flavor, how can it be quiet!" Leng Yunxi said with a smile.
"Yes, this land of Sichuan and Shu is quiet and intoxicating...... Just ......" As he was speaking, Lin Munan suddenly stopped talking, and a pair of eyes stared at several figures in the distance.
Seeing that Lin Mu Nan suddenly stopped talking, Leng Yunxi asked, "Just what?" Xiao Nan. ”
"But I'm afraid we'll not be blessed. As he spoke, his eyes showed murderous intent, and his hand drew his sword.
Following his gaze, three people walked towards him, the three of them had light steps, steady figures, and a pair of eyes seemed to reveal a sharp momentum to attack them, which was breathless, and Leng Yunxi was suddenly startled.
She hurriedly reached out and grabbed Lin Munan.
She has seen this kind of look, just like the people in the zodiac, this is clearly the eyes of a hunter, no, they are killers, could it be that they are coming for herself and Xiao Nan?
The three of them got closer and closer, Lin Munan pulled Leng Yunxi down behind him, led the two horses to the side, and lowered his head even more.
Leng Yunxi also lowered her head, deliberately avoiding these three people, she knew these three people, the three hall masters of the Tianlong Gang, Bai Wanli, Grass Ghost Pill, and Flying Spider. She felt Lin Mu Nan trembling, she knew what he was angry about, the Wudang Sect was destroyed by the Tianlong Gang, and these three people were the culprits.
Seeing this, she hurriedly grabbed him and quietly watched the three of them slowly walk past her.
Leng Yunxi held her breath, lowered her head, and saw the three of them walking away.
Relieved, Leng Yunxi said in a low voice: "This Luo Ghost Killing Three Hall Masters arrived in Sichuan and Shu at the same time, I don't know what happened. ”
Lin Munan said viciously: "Sister Yun, you stay here, don't leave, I will definitely kill them and avenge Wudang" said and pulled out his sword.
Leng Yunxi was taken aback, and knew in her heart that if she hadn't taken care of her own safety just now, she was afraid that Xiao Nan would have rushed up long ago, so she hurriedly grabbed his arm and scolded loudly: "Xiao Nan, don't be reckless, these three people can't be dealt with by you alone." ”
Looking at the direction in which the three people left, there was silence for a long time, and then Lin Munan nodded and said: "Well, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, I will settle accounts with him sooner or later, let's go, Sister Yun, let's go to Mount Emei, this place is not suitable for a long time." ”
With that, the two rode to Mount Emei......
At this time, a figure walked out of the store, it was the shopkeeper last night, he looked at the figures of Leng and Lin leaving, smiled slightly, turned around and left quickly......
Night fell quickly, and it was dark today, so dark that you wanted to escape.
The night on Songshan Mountain is dark and quiet, and the silence makes people frightening, making people think that there are no more creatures here.
However, the Shaolin Temple was not so dark, and a few oil lamps were jumping, still telling the light, as if they did not want to be swallowed by the night.
Everything was silent, but Shifang couldn't sleep for a long time, Mo Xiaotian was brought by him, and he was punished by the abbot of Xuanci to guard the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
The abbot said that Mo Xiaotian tried to steal the scriptures and killed the old monk Xuande, who was guarding the pavilion, and had jumped off the cliff in fear of crime.
This was something he could never believe, but he had to believe it, and he had seen it with his own eyes.
Thinking about it, maybe there is a misunderstanding in this, but as soon as Mo Xiaotian dies, I'm afraid the truth will no longer be known.
"Hey......" with a long sigh, Shifang stood up and looked at the sky outside the window, it was really dark!
At this time, he suddenly felt a coolness, and a black hand suddenly covered his mouth and dragged it back.
Shifang felt bad and kept struggling, and at this moment, the man suddenly said softly: "Shhh, don't talk, follow me Shifang." ”
Shifang heard the voice, isn't this person the senior brother of Shangwu?
dragged all the way, and the two came to the back mountain.
Shang Wu saw that there was no one around, and finally let go of Shifang's mouth.
Shifang scolded: "Senior brother, what are you doing here?
"I'm sorry little junior brother, I'm afraid that you will make a noise and attract the attention of other disciples in the courtyard, so I have to do it as a last resort."
"Senior brother, what do you want to do?" Shifang asked.
"I have a few words to tell my junior brother. Shang Wu said.
"Oh?
Shang Wu said in a low voice: "It's about the abbot of Xuanci and our father-in-law." ”
"Huh, what the hell, senior brother, tell me quickly!" Shi Fang said hurriedly.
Shang Wu looked around again, and said slowly: "Senior brother, Master Xuanzhi was actually forced away by the abbot......
As soon as these words came out, Shifang's heart suddenly trembled, and his face was full of disbelief.
Shang Wu continued, "This is what I heard with my own ears. ”
"How is it possible? We have clearly seen it with our own eyes, and it is very clearly written on Uncle Xuanzhi's letter, and it is passed on to Uncle Xuanci!" Shifang said.
"The events of that day were just arranged a long time ago, and they were performed for us to see, do you remember that your master and apprentice were entrusted by Engong to investigate the struggle between the Tianlong Gang and the Martial Arts Alliance?"
"Senior brother means that my master and I were deliberately separated?"
Shang Wu said softly: "That's right, the night you left, I heard Uncle Xuanci and Uncle Xuanzhi discussing the rebuilding of Shaolin, and the condition for rebuilding Shaolin is that Uncle Xuanzhi abdicates, and no one knows about this matter except me." ”
"No wonder Master Xuanzhi and I have already left as soon as Master Xuanzhi and I come back, leaving only a letter, it seems that Master Xuanci is unwilling to let Master participate!"
"Exactly, Master Xuanzhi was actually forced away!" Shang Wu said.
"It's just that this is a matter between teachers and uncles, and we can't interfere with ourselves," Shifang whispered.
"Shifang, don't you still understand? All this is a trick of Juefeng, he wants to use the prestige of Shaolin to dominate the rivers and lakes, and I suspect that the current Uncle Xuanci is not true at all. ”
Hearing this, Shi Fang was puzzled, and after thinking about it carefully, this person did seem to be different from the Xuanci Master he knew before, except for his appearance.
"Have you noticed that there are many Shaolin Temples today?"
"It's true, it's all voices, but it seems that there are many old faces missing. ”
"They were all driven out of the temple by Abbot Xuanci for various reasons! Look at me again, it is really suspicious that Uncle Xuanci was locked up with this iron chain for no reason!" Shang Wu sighed.
"It's really suspicious, it seems that this matter must be solved" Shifang said, and wanted to go back to the temple to ask clearly, he suddenly felt that Mo Xiaotian's matter had a great relationship with them.
Shang Wu hurriedly grabbed him and said, "What are you doing?" I called you out to tell you to leave quickly and tell your master about the affairs here, what are you doing back?"
"Naturally, I asked the abbot for clarification. Shifang said.
"Are you stupid? When you ask like this, you can't ask anything? Listen to me, leave quickly, and go to your master," Shang Wu said loudly.
"You don't care, I know it in my heart," he said, ripped away Shang Wu, and ran back.
Shangwu sighed, but the iron chain was still locked, and he was afraid of waking up the temple, so he didn't dare to chase after him, so he had to chase lightly.
Shifang is also a good light hand, light hands and feet, running all the way, and suddenly came to the abbot of Xuanci. But I saw that there was no light in the room, the black light was blind, attached to the window, and listened, but I didn't hear the slightest sound, and I guessed that Xuan Ci was not in the room. It's so late, not in the room, I suddenly have doubts in my heart, and after thinking about it, if there is anything strange about Mo Xiaotian today, Xuan Ci will definitely be in the place of the wind, and immediately rush there softly.
Sure enough, the room was also darkly lit and blinded, and no human voices were heard. It's so late, neither of them is in the room, there must be a ghost.
Shifang immediately became alert, hid aside, and looked around.
But when he heard the sound of chains coming from the backyard, he knew in his heart that Senior Brother Shangwu must have returned, so he wanted to rush to take a look.
As soon as he arrived outside the backyard door, he saw two black shadows flashing, and Shifang's heart tightened, and he hurriedly hid aside.
looked again, but saw that Senior Brother Shangwu had fallen on the steps of the courtyard gate, and two figures were standing there, it was the two of Xuan Ci Jiefeng.
When he climbed over the wall, he didn't pass by the backyard, otherwise he would inevitably be poisoned.
"Why did you knock him over?" Xuan Ci whispered.
"This guy must have a ghost running out in the middle of the night, and I don't know if he heard our conversation, so he just got rid of it," said Jeekaze.
Shifang's heart trembled, and his thoughts were terrible.
"No, you kill him, Monk Fuji came back and asked how to answer, besides, it's useful to keep him!" Xuan Ci said, but with a strange expression.
Juefeng seemed to understand what he meant, and said with a smile: "Yes, I have already solved one, then I will leave it to you to deal with next." With that, the wind departed.
Seeing him go away, Xuan Ci snorted coldly, then squatted down, looked at the martial monk who fell to the ground, sneered, took out a packet of powder from his arms, pried open his mouth, poured it whole, and then walked away.
Seeing that the two of them had really walked away, Shifang slowly walked out, looking at the senior brother Shangwu who fell to the ground, Shifang's eyes were full of tears, he probed his mouth and nose, and checked his pulse, and there was no danger to his life, but this bag of powder didn't know what it did.
Carrying Shangwu on his back, he ran to the back mountain.
Not long after he ran, a figure blocked the way, apparently coming towards him.
"That's broken bone powder, in a month, he will die of broken bones, it's useless for you to take him away" Suddenly a voice came from behind Shifang.
Shifang was shocked, and when he looked back, it was Xuan Ci behind him, and the one in front of him was naturally Juefeng.
"Who the hell are you, you actually hurt my Shaolin faction like this," Shifang roared.
"Since ancient times, heroes have become great things, and I am the absolute wind, as for who he is, you don't need to know" The absolute wind said.
"Informal, you scum, ungrateful, Xiaotian must also be harmed by you!" Shi Fang scolded.
"Yes, I gave him a chance, but he didn't want to act with me, and he thought about chivalry all day long, and in the end he was not a poor worm, and he was willing to give up even the opportunity for revenge! Desperate Wind roared.
"People like you don't deserve to be heroes!" roared Shifang.
Juefeng sneered: "Hehe, is it? It seems that you can also die......"
Shifang shook his head, looked at the sky from afar, lowered his head, the sky was still silent at this moment, and the darkness was even a little depressing, as if it was about to fall. He was scared, if he was afraid in this world, I'm afraid it was this time, the danger came from the people around him, the master was not there, no one would help him, despair, only despair, and then unwillingness, gradually, unwillingness turned into hatred, infinite hatred, he broke the vow again, he finally understood why the master didn't let him enter the rivers and lakes. This Jianghu is too terrifying, maybe he will never guess that the people around him will treat him like this.
No one can guess that when you think you know a person very well, you are doomed to be wrong, because people will change, you can never guarantee what a person will become, maybe the appearance has not changed, but what about the heart? Who can guarantee that he is not the person you knew at the beginning? This can't blame him, can't blame anyone, our change is just simply to cater to this era, but one day, when we want to change back to the original self, but find that it is already too late, can only silently say to the juniors, may you not forget your original intention.
