The words of the gray-clothed man had the tendency of pushing the boat down the river, and the plain-clothed monk didn't want to worry about them, so he just turned his body sideways and said gently: "The two donors of the Buddha please come with me, and the two donors who came with your friends, please forgive the little monk for being overwhelmed, your friend should be near the bell tower now." ”

The plain-clothed monk spoke gently and calmly, but the two groups of people standing opposite him could hear his mirror-like heart from just this sentence.

Obviously, he knew the two cloth-clothed men who were looking for his friend, so he was able to let them walk freely in the small temple, but he was wary of the two gray-clothed men who were supposed to pay homage to the Buddha. In this small temple, it's just the kung fu of sticking incense, will the two adults get lost? However, in the face of the enthusiastic guidance of this unfathomable monk with unfathomable martial arts, the two gray-clothed men couldn't come up with the reason and strength to turn their faces for a while.

"Thank you, Master." A cloth-clothed man bowed slightly to the plain-clothed monk, and then said, "That friend of ours doesn't like to be followed, so I'm so rude to not tell you, and I hope the master will forgive me." ”

The second half of this addition is just to make his somewhat rough answer a little more rounded.

The plain-clothed monk smiled and didn't say anything to the cloth-clothed man, but his gaze fell on the two gray-clothed men gently.

There was a slight complex change in the eyes of the leader of the gray-clothed man, but at this point, he couldn't argue with anything, so he also bowed slightly and said, "There is Master Lao to guide the way." ”

……

When the two gray-clothed men were led into the Buddha hall by the plain-clothed monks, Qiao Cui and Lu Sheng turned over from the vegetable garden of the small temple not far away, and almost passed by the two cloth-clothed people who were looking for friends. Although there was a stone pier between them, the two cloth-clad men found them. But this time, the cloth man just glanced at them without any expression. There was no talk, no stopping, no hint of vigour when they first met.

Lu Sheng and Qiao Cui have no leisure to care about anything else, as long as no one deliberately blocks the way, leaving this place is the unanimous goal of the two of them.

But when they arrived at what they thought was safe, the two of them, who had completely overheard the whole of the exchange, had another idle speculation, and in fact, this habit of analysis was not innate, but was cultivated by their own work.

"Xiao Lu. After you sneaked out, you brought a lot of good things from the group! Qiao Cui laughed and opened the conversation. He approached Lu Sheng's side, put his right arm on Lu Sheng's left shoulder, and then said, "Is there anything left of the Thunder Light Pill?" Do you have any other weird things with you? ”

Lu Sheng, who had just escaped from the gaze of the two passers-by in the small temple, had just breathed a sigh of relief, and his mind was in an extremely relaxed state. Facing the partner just now, he almost forgot for a moment the contradictory position between him and Qiao Cui before entering the bamboo forest.

"Thunder Light Pill is still ......," Lu Sheng opened his mouth without thinking too much. However, halfway through his words, a sudden excitement suddenly occurred in his mind, and he swallowed the remaining half of this sentence alive.

Perhaps it was because of the vigilance that he was in a hurry, and his reaction was a little frizzy. As soon as he shook off Qiao Cui's hand on his shoulder, and at the same time dodged and retreated a few steps, Lu Sheng smiled obliquely. said: "Brother Qiao, you are playing tricks on me!" If I say it all, these things will be useless. As far as you're concerned, the light skills are similar, but the martial arts are so bad that I still have to rely on these tools to get out in front of you! ”

In fact, Qiao Cui didn't think about it so much just now, if it weren't for the fact that the two brocade-clothed people would also use the thunder light pills produced in the group, he might not be interested in it at all, who had been out of the group for a few years. But now Lu Sheng suddenly raised his spear again, expressing such an unfriendly meaning to him, which made it easy for him to remember the mission he should have followed.

However, after Qiao Cui's expression quickly became solemn. Soon it gradually eased up. He smiled. said: "Xiao Lu, I haven't seen you for a few years, you are no longer the teenager who is still a little depressed, I sincerely sigh." Mr. Lin is really amazing. ”

As soon as he said this, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at it, but it was in reverse to poke at the two big holes on his chest, and then his figure slowly softened. If a person who practices martial arts wants to numb his acupoints, he must attack faster and more ruthlessly, which is not easy to fake. Qiao Cui, who sat down on the ground with his body out of strength, suddenly slowed down, and then said: "For Mr. Lin, I have something I want to tell you, so that you won't rush away before I finish my words, I have to do this." ”

Qiao Cui's move was completely unexpected by Lu Sheng, but he was indeed preparing to use the Thunder Light Pill on Qiao Cui just now, and seeing the situation in front of him at this moment, his hand that was almost touching the placket of his clothes suddenly froze, and he was moved and said: "Brother Qiao, you ......"

After the figure froze for a moment, Lu Sheng's hand that reached into the placket of his clothes finally drooped. He slowly approached Qiao Cui's side and squatted down, stretched out his hand to probe Qiao Cui's veins, and after measuring the method of solving the acupoints, he untied the acupoints that sealed the operation of the true qi for him, and then said in a low voice: "Brother Qiao, I believe in you, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly." ”

Qiao Cui moved his shoulders, exhaled lightly, and then said slowly, "Do you know why Mr. Lin didn't allow the people in the group to come to Kyoto?" ”

Lu Sheng shook his head blankly.

"Then do you recognize the two brocade-clothed people who used the Thunder Light Pill just now? Do you have an impression of their martial arts paths? ”

According to Qiao Cui's memory, the Lei Guang Pill was a thing prepared by the second group built by Lin Shan, although it had been successfully formulated a few years ago, but there were people in Kyoto, thousands of miles away from the county seat, who could use this kind of thing so skillfully, which had to make people wonder. And combined with the question asked earlier, those two brocade clothes should not be people in the group, so who will they be?

However, Qiao Cui combined these two doubts and asked, but after Lu Sheng thought about it, he gave an unknown answer.

After receiving a second negative answer, Qiao Cui's expression became solemn again. He pondered for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "Xiao Lu, Brother Luo meant to let me take you back to the group as much as possible, because he was afraid that you would cause trouble for Mr. Lin, but I think why can't this sentence be understood as another meaning?" As long as you don't act rashly, I can accompany you for a walk around Kyoto. ”

Lu Sheng was stunned when he heard this, and then a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"It's just that you may not see anything interesting and interesting in this lap." Before Lu Sheng could speak, Qiao Cui continued: "To put it simply, the connections in Kyoto are so complicated, but Mr. Lin didn't bring a helper when he returned to Beijing, but brought the people he had been bothering to hide and protect......" Qiao Cui's palm on his knee slowly clenched into a fist, and he said in a certain tone, "This may be playing with fire." ”

Lu Sheng looked shocked for a moment, and blurted out, "Why did he do this?" ”

"I've been out of the group for a few years, how do I know?" Qiao Cui's fists slowly let go and covered his knees, "Those who play with fire must **, but I believe that if Mr. Lin dares to do this, he must have a thorough plan." Just in case, let's go to the old mansion first, if there is no situation, you put down the gift that Boss Ke gave to Mr. Lin, and go back with me immediately, if there is a ......" Qiao Cui looked at Lu Sheng directly, and said word by word: "Although this may not be high, if the matter comes to an end, no matter what the result is, it is our common mission to help Mr. Lin get out." ”

Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows and said, "It's always been like this!" ”

"Then let's go." Cho Cui said and stood up from the ground.

Lu Sheng followed and got up, and after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Qiao, I have always wondered, why did those two groups of people compete for a corpse just now?" ”

"I don't understand either." Qiao Cui smiled slightly, patted Lu Sheng's shoulder, and said: "There are many things in this world that we don't understand, a person's head is so big, and his life is so long, how can he understand it all?" It's great to be able to keep the little thing you understand. ”

When Lu Sheng heard this, his eyes were thin with a layer of fog, and after a while, he seemed to have an understanding, smiled and nodded, and didn't say anything more.

……

Burning two incense sticks, and bowing in front of the Buddha, the two gray-clothed men said goodbye to the plain-clothed monk.

When the plain-clothed monk appeared, the leader of the gray-clothed man knew that he had lost the opportunity to find those two people this time, but the feeling of being forced to act made him feel very unhappy. Afraid of the martial arts of the plain-clothed monk, and taboo of making too much movement in the small temple where the royal family occasionally came to worship the Buddha, the gray-clothed leader had to give in to the monk who was not his own head of the family and he did not agree with.

When the two of them left the main gate of the small temple, they didn't know if they were lucky or meaningless to see the friend who the two cloth men were extremely vigilant and protected.

A bell hangs in a pavilion, surrounded by grass, and at the beginning of spring, the grass is fresh and shallow. In such a shallow meadow, a young man about twenty-five or six years old hung his hands on his sleeves and quietly watched a little donkey in front of him crouching down and munching on the grass.

Not far behind the young man, the two cloth-clad men stood under the eaves of a house. Their backs were very close to the wall, but they had no intention of leaning in, and straightened their backs firmly.

The little donkey seemed to feel two strange glances fall on it, and it stopped grazing and looked up. However, the young man who watched the donkey grazing did not move, his gaze remained on the place where the donkey had gnawed the grass just now, not knowing whether he was meditating on something or just in a daze.

The young man didn't move, but the eyes of the two cloth-clothed men not far away followed the donkey, and the eyes of the two parties met, and the four of them did not speak, but the donkey shook its head and shook its ears as if it had a feeling.

Then, the young man who was letting the donkey seemed to come back to his senses and slowly raised his eyes to look over.

However, before he could meet his gaze, the leader of the gray-clothed man had already taken a quick step to nudge his subordinates and left quickly...... (To be continued.)
