As the red caravan drove in front of a temple, Zhanzhao made a stop gesture to the driver, and the car slowly stopped.

Zhan Zhao said to Bao Zheng: Lord Bao, this is Beishan Pass, and only this place can have such a temple to stay, and further on is the wilderness, now that it is dark, it is not appropriate to go further, just stay here.

Hearing this, Bao Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, let's stay."

Zhan Zhao jumped off the horse, came to the door of the temple and raised his hand to shoot, but just patted the door and opened, it turned out that the door was not bolted, Zhan Zhao shouted to the temple in a loud voice: Hey, is there anyone, we are here to spend the night.

After shouting, no one answered, so Zhanzhao stepped into the temple.

The eighth sister, the ninth sister, and Du Qi's sister-in-law lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car.

Du Qi's sister-in-law walked up to Bao Zheng and asked, "Master Bao, are we staying in the temple tonight?"

Bao Zheng nodded and said: Zhan Guard said that further on, there is no place to stay in the wilderness, so I decided to live here tonight.

The ninth sister looked at the temple road: It's quite desolate and terrifying here.

The eighth sister scared the ninth sister and said: There are often spirits in such places, ninth sister, you are clever when you sleep, don't be dragged away by the spirits when you don't know.

Hearing this, the ninth sister shook her body in fright, raised her hand and slapped the eighth sister and said angrily: Why are the spirits dragging me, I didn't provoke them.

The eighth sister "giggled" and smiled: Because our ninth sister was born beautifully, like a fairy, the spirits can't pull their legs when they see our ninth sister, they don't drag you to whom.

The ninth sister glared at the eighth sister and said: Isn't my sister more beautiful, why don't you drag you and don't drag you.

At this time, Zhanzhao walked out of the temple and came to Bao Zheng to salute and said: Master Bao, this is an empty temple with no people, but the temple is very clean, let's go in.

Bao Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, go to the temple to rest."

After that, he led the people to the temple.

Zhan Zhao led everyone into the main hall, and then took out the fire fold and lit the two big red candles inserted on the confession, and the hall suddenly brightened.

Du Qi's sister-in-law and eight sisters and nine sisters came to the shrine and bowed devoutly to the Buddha statue inside, and then each of them found a grass group in the main hall to sit on the ground.

Bao Zheng didn't sit, he walked in the main hall, looked around carefully, and thought about it from time to time.

Zhan Zhao walked over and asked Bao Zheng in a low voice: My lord, is there something wrong?

Bao Zheng looked at Zhanzhao and muttered for a while before saying: This temple has been cleaned everywhere, especially in this hall, the Buddha statue is spotless, and the ground in the hall is clean and bright, it doesn't look like an unpresided temple at all, but why don't you see a monk?

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao nodded and said: My lord is right, I have passed by this temple several times before, and I remember that there are more than a dozen monks in this temple, and the incense is very prosperous, but this time it has become an empty temple, so I am also very suspicious.

Bao Zheng thought for a while and said: Judging from all indications, the monks in the temple have not been away for a long time, but why did they all leave suddenly? If it is because there is something to do, then it is impossible for a monk who does not leave a housekeeper, what is the reason for them to leave empty-nested?

After a pause, he said in a speculative tone: There is only one possibility, and that is that their lives are threatened.

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao was shocked and said: My lord, so this is a dangerous place now, so that's the case, my lord, let's get out of here quickly.

Bao Zheng waved his hand and said: Maybe, I mean maybe, maybe this is for us at all, if this is the case, we will go the same everywhere tonight, it is better to wait for our guests here.

As soon as Bao Zheng's words landed, suddenly, a woman's eerie sneer came from outside the temple, and then I heard the woman say: Bao Heizi, your guess is right, we are coming for you, you just wait to die.

As the words landed, sixteen ghostly black-clad masked women with long swords floated in from outside the hall.

Du Qi's sister-in-law, eighth sister, and ninth sister jumped up from the ground and quickly leaned towards Bao Zheng and Zhanzhao's side, and then brushed the ground and pulled out the long sword in their hands.

Bao Zheng looked coldly at the dozen or so black-clothed masked women and asked in a deep voice: Who are you? Why did you come to assassinate Bao Zheng, did Bao Zheng offend you before?

The woman in black led by the leader said coldly: Bao Heizi, you shouldn't come to Luoyang, Luoyang is already our world, how can you allow others to stir up peace again, and those who know the elephant will return to Bianjing immediately, and we will not embarrass you.

Hearing this, Bao Zheng smiled coldly and said: It's a pity that Bao Zheng was ordered by the emperor to go to Luoyang to take up his post, and he can't return, and returning is the crime of bullying the king, Bao Zheng can't afford it, and I ask for your understanding.

Hearing this, the female leader in black said coldly: Then there is no way, you can die.

After speaking, he raised his hand and waved vigorously and ordered: Array.

The women moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded the five of them.

The leader of the woman in black said sharply: I will give you one last chance, to return or not to return.

Hearing this, the ninth sister was furious, and pointed with the long sword in her hand and said: Who do you think you are, the emperor today, if you let us go back, we will go back, while staying cool.

The eighth sister said: What are you verbose, if you have any ability, just use it, let's go on.

Hearing this, the female leader in black was furious and shouted: Sisters, kill me, and leave no one behind.

The sword array was launched, and the sword shadows in the sky instantly appeared, covering the five people in the center of the formation like a mountain and a sea.

Zhanzhao, Du Qi's sister-in-law, the eighth sister, and the ninth sister, guarded the four directions and tried their best to resist the fierce fighting net woven by the sixteen swords, and after a fierce fight, the sixteen female killers in black returned to their positions, and the eighth sister and the ninth sister also hung colors.

Bao Zheng, who was standing in the center, saw the blood on the shoulders of the eighth sister and the ninth sister and hurriedly asked: Eighth sister and ninth sister, you are injured, it doesn't matter, right?

The eighth sister didn't care: I was injured a little flesh and skin, it's okay, Master Bao doesn't have to worry about us.

The ninth sister smiled and said: This is much lighter than the injuries we suffered in the previous war with the Liao.

The female leader in black smiled coldly and said: This is only the first round of fighting, you two have already hung the lottery, I'm afraid that after the second round and the third round, the four of you will become armless.

After that, he ordered the female killers: Sisters, change the formation.

Sixteen female killers in black quickly shifted their positions.

When the female leader in black slowly raised her hand and was about to give the order to attack and kill again, she suddenly saw an old man in black who staggered into from outside the hall and held a big wine gourd.

The person who came was a black-headed tuo.

People on both sides were stunned, not knowing which side the black head was from.

The black-headed elephant just found that there were still people in the hall, stunned for a moment, and then looked at everyone in the hall with some drunk eyes, and suddenly smiled, and said with a smile: Yo, I ran to the temple in the middle of the night to play monkeys, strange, really strange.

After that, he raised the gourd and poured a sip of wine, smashed his mouth, and waved his hand: My old man has just finished training a group of bears, and he is bored.
