That night, Gutuo Temple.

Several people dressed like the person who assassinated Rukawa Kaede that day were communicating something in the same room.

One of them said: "No. 1, I heard that Rukawa Kaede has actually recovered, and he is still coming here with hundreds of brocade guards, are we going to kill him again?" ”

"Yes, that guy is too arrogant, we have never really missed the battle in Yanyulou! If we don't get rid of him, we are unwilling. Another said.

"I think it's better to avoid the edge for the time being, after all, they are numerous, and the Jinyi Guards are not ordinary people, although we are strong, we want to kill their leader under their heavy protection, this is probably unrealistic, there are many opportunities, don't rush this moment, not to mention, we still have a big show to do in more than a month." Another veteran raised objections.

"That's right, after all, it's a big deal, No. 1, it's better for us to withdraw first, I'm afraid this place is no longer suitable for us to stay." The fourth said.

The big bald head sitting on the top has nine deep ring scars, he is a gloomy face, he is also the number one in their mouths, he looks out of the window in distraction, in the moonlight, the shadow of the leaves is printed on the window paper, very weird.

Seeing that he didn't speak, everyone slowly remained silent, they understood that No. 1 was such a person who rarely spoke, but his decisions were often the most correct, which was why they could live until now, and they had repeatedly succeeded in assassinating those big officials and gentry, but he didn't like to be disturbed, otherwise the consequences would be serious!

There was a long silence, even the sound of breathing was muffled by each of them, and it was so quiet that even the sound of leaves falling to the ground by the wind could be heard.

Outside the window, there is wind, there is a moon, and there are birds.

The courtyard is dilapidated, the leaves are piled up on the ground irregularly, the beams of the house are also covered with cobwebs, some of them have small insects such as rats, and the plaque on the gate is only hung by a rusty iron nail, which is squeaky by the evening wind, and the door is overgrown with weeds, and even the statue of Da Luo King Kong in the main hall is broken, some have broken hands, some short legs, and some even have their entire heads......

In the faint moonlight, coupled with the hissing of birds such as crows and owls, these already fierce and vicious Vajra Arhats looked even more hideous and terrifying.

"You guys retreat first, I'll stay here and see the situation." Number One broke the silence and said lightly.

"Yes." They know his character, and since the decision has been made, it is the final decision, there is no doubt about it! So it was also decisively withdrawn.

Black shadows fluttered from the treetops and leaves, and if they were seen by passers-by who didn't know the truth, they would probably faint in fright, this is what they call ghosts.

"Humph! Our blood will not be shed in vain! Rukawa family, you wait and see. ”

Number One said alone in the room, and then walked into the darkness, nowhere to be found.

——

On a quiet path, a group of dozens of people rode horses and walked unhurriedly on the road.

"After a small cemetery in front, walk seven or eight miles to Gutuo Temple." Hu Lai said with feeling.

"What do you know about it, it seems like something is wrong with you." Murong Feng asked with some interest.

"It used to be the largest temple in our Great Lie Empire, and the incense was flourishing for hundreds of years, but unfortunately, after the rumors spread that the family usurped power and seized the throne and bloodily suppressed the royal family of the previous dynasty and their faithful followers, it slowly declined, and later it became a 'ghost town', no one dared to come."

"I've heard a little bit of this, but you're not such a sentimental person, so why do you make such an expression?"

"That's because my father is said to have fled here and was besieged." Hu Lai said sadly.

"I see, but don't worry, we will definitely avenge your father's nonsense!"

Although Murong Feng's body was seriously injured, but fortunately, he was strong and wore close-fitting soft armor to offset part of the attack, and he took a big tonic in the past few days, so his body was barely harmed, but he couldn't lift his true qi, and it was still not possible to use force, and it was okay to ride a horse slowly, but in order to personally defeat a Liuchuan Feng, he decided to come over in person, he got the news that the other party was going to Gutuo Temple to investigate the cause of Ayao's death, so for the sake of the deceased wife in his heart, he also had to come over in person, although he knew some inside truths, but it was not comprehensive.

"Kaede...... Feng Shizi brought hundreds of brocade guards over, we are afraid that we will be outnumbered, if we encounter them at that time, what should we do? Hu Lai changed the topic and did not want to mention family matters again.

"Try to avoid confrontation with them head-on, although our warriors are very strong, but the Jinyi Guards are not vegetarians, not to mention that they are still in their territory, we do not occupy advantages, people, our purpose is to secretly interfere with him and create difficulties, of course, if there is a chance, we must also take some risks to assassinate him! So we have to get ahead of them, control the environment, be in a suitable hiding place, hide in the dark and observe quietly. ”

"That's good, but if he really gives Princess A-Yao the truth and gives her a chance to avenge her grievances, then do we still have to interfere?"

"Of course not, if he still has a conscience and knows what their family has done shamelessly, and wants to argue with his elders about justice, we will help him in secret." Murong Feng immediately replied.

"Childe's friendship with Princess Ayao is really heaven and earth, if she has a spirit in the sky, she should be satisfied." Hu Lai sighed silently in his heart, this kind of pure love made him feel a little touched by hatred.

It didn't take long for them to go all the way to Gutuo Temple, and looking at this dirty and dilapidated temple, they felt disgusted in their hearts.

"Be careful not to clean up, don't destroy the scene, don't let Rukawa Kaede know the traces of people coming here, let's go and investigate this big temple inside and out first, and then make plans." Murong Feng saw that someone wanted to get rid of the cobwebs, and immediately stopped.

After a lot of hard work, they were stained with dust and cobwebs, but the good news was that in the backyard, they found a very large basement, like a small palace, with complex passages and secret rooms, and there was an exit in the basement that led to a tomb in the small graveyard they had just passed, and they could run directly from the inside to the outside.

So Murong Feng arranged for two people to stay near the exit of the tomb, and the rest of them hid in the basement, and covered up this entrance again to prevent Liuchuan Feng from discovering it.

——

That night, an old man and a young man came down from the north, the old one was about fifty or sixty years old, and the younger one was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and they carried a large package and a Luoyang shovel on their backs, and walked on the path to the south.

"Grandpa, are you sure there is a big tomb near Gutuo Temple? How do I feel like it's eerie before I really get close there. ”

"Ergouzi, don't I even believe your grandfather now? It won't be wrong, I've already calculated, and the direction of the compass won't be wrong, it must be the direction of Gutuo Temple. ”

"But I've heard it's very haunted, so let's go home." The little boy was a rather sturdy boy, but he seemed to be a little timid, and he kept following the old man, grinding and chirping, and chattering and verbose.

"Why don't you kid grow up! In our business, if you're afraid of ghosts, it's better to find a piece of tofu and kill you! ”

"Did you hit it to death?" Ergouzi asked suspiciously.

“……”

The old man has a black line, this kid is really an unenlightened guy, but he has a lot of strength and stamina, otherwise he wouldn't have brought such an oil bottle out to do things.

"You go and try." In the end, he couldn't help but say something.

"I'm not going! If there really is a piece of tofu, I can't even bear to eat it, and I still take it and break it? That's a waste. ”

"When we dig up a treasure, we can take one out and sell it, and we guarantee that you can buy a hundred or a thousand pieces of white and tender fresh tofu!"

"Really? Grandpa, don't lie to me that I haven't read, I only know gold. ”

"In the future, you will be obedient, you will do whatever I tell you to do, and you will be guaranteed to get a lot of gold, and when the time comes, the green flowers in the village will not be rare! I'll take you to the county seat to find a better girl to be a wife. ”

"That's great, I'm going to do my job."

"Well, that's good, there are no ghosts and gods, don't worry, will grandpa still lie to you?"

"Hmm." The young man nodded again and again, expressing his agreement, and he was still looking forward to a beautiful wife.

Just as they were chatting and hurrying away, three people suddenly appeared in the darkness and blocked their way.

The second dog was so frightened that he screamed loudly, he thought he had seen the hell, after all, it was the first time he came out to follow his grandfather to rob the tomb, he had no experience, his grandfather behaved very well, calm and calm, but his back was also wet, he didn't know any martial arts, he thought this was a robber blocking the road.

"The heroes spare their lives, our grandfather and grandson just went to Chang'an to visit relatives, and they don't have any money on them, if the heroes bypass us, we are willing to hand over all the belongings on our bodies to you."

"Visiting relatives? Are you lying to a child here? In the middle of the night, with a hoe and shovel or something, I think you are going to rob the tomb. The one said with a smile on his face.

"The hero spares his life, we don't dare anymore, and we won't dare in the future, let's go back." The old man threw things down, as if walking, and the man in black gave him the feeling of danger.

"Stop!"

The man in black shouted loudly, and the two dogs were about to run wildly, but they were suddenly stopped by one of the men in black, which frightened him so that his legs weakened and he fell to the ground, and although the old man was better, he was also frightened and kept begging for mercy.

"I didn't say I was going to kill you," the man in black said with a smile, he liked the feeling of playing with others like this, and the grandfather and grandson were a little better when they heard this, but they still didn't dare to be careless, who knows if what he said was true.

"Hero, why did you come out to stop us?" Grandpa asked cautiously.

"I want you to help me do something, and I will reward you with a thousand taels of silver when you do it! The matter is in the Gutuo Temple. ”

"Dare to ask what is the matter? Our grandparents don't know how to do anything, if it's too difficult, we can't do it, don't embarrass us. ”

"Don't worry, it's a very simple thing, you can definitely do it."

In this way, the man in black explained to him in detail, and then disappeared into the darkness again, leaving the grandfather and grandson, looking at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

After a long time, both of them had calmed down, and the grandfather said, "Ergouzi, what else can you do?" Let's go. ”

"Grandpa, is there really such a simple thing to get a thousand taels of silver? That's a thousand taels! ”

"I don't know, but we can only fight now, at least there is a thought, and they all have great martial arts, we can't leave."

"Okay."

In this way, with complicated feelings, the two quickly rushed to Gutuo Temple.
