The two of them changed their clothes and went out of the city, and Mu Xilian had already ordered his servants to prepare horses outside the city. Li Fengying didn't know why, so he had to follow Mu Xipi and gallop wildly. The two of them ran for a long time, from noon to evening, and they did not know how many distances they had run, but the two good horses under their crotches had waited for them to arrive, and they were already panting and neighing.

Li Fengying was galloping on the road and talking to Mu Xipi at the same time, and he had roughly understood the reason. It turned out that Mu Xipian returned home from a long trip this time because she and her master passed through Jiangnan. Mu Xi was sorry for Yu Shu, so she specially begged, hoping that her master could stay here for a while. Her master was accustomed to idle clouds and wild cranes, and although he agreed to stay for a while, he was not willing to stay in Jingfu, but only took refuge in a small temple outside the city that was uninhabited, and promised to wait for her family to return from business, and then get up together and continue to travel. Her master has always ignored the disturbances in the world, and Mu Xipi didn't want to disturb her cultivation. But now I have no choice but to do it, although I don't want to, but I can only bite the bullet.

The two walked for a while, only to see a small temple not far away was already faintly visible, the small temple was two floors above and below, the temple door plaque had disappeared, and the overall look was very dilapidated, obviously it had been abandoned for a long time. By this time the two of them had slowed down their horses and were slowly driving side by side on the path. Seeing the small temple approaching, Li Fengying couldn't help but feel a little nervous, so he asked, "What kind of person is your master?" ”

"My master is a woman with great martial arts skills and a very beautiful person." Mu Xipian smiled and said: "But you can't see her appearance, my master is covered in front of outsiders." Speaking of this, he suddenly said nervously: "When you see my master later, don't say that I praise her beauty in front of you." Otherwise, I will definitely be scolded, and you will be beaten severely, and maybe you won't be able to save your life. ”

"Is it that serious?" Li Fengying was stunned and said: "How can you praise her beautiful in front of others, and she is still angry?" He thought to himself, "This unknown hero is really eccentric. Miss Mu always acts maverick, and I think it's because she has followed this person since she was a child, and she has been exposed to it on weekdays, which is why she has become like this. ”

"I don't know." Mu Xipi's mouth flattened, spread his hands and said, "Hero, it's all like this." If you are seen innocent, what kind of hero is it? It always has to be a little mysterious. ”

Li Fengying shook his head and smiled: "It's reasonable, I'm afraid that what is written in that book is what the person who wrote the book has encountered, a person like your master." ”

While speaking, the two of them had already walked to the gate of the temple, and Mu Xi took pity on the reins, and ran into the temple gate by himself without waiting for Li Fengying to speak. Li Fengying didn't care about seeing her so anxious, she just thought she was a teacher. He got off the horse, pulled the poor horses with his hand, led the two horses to the side to find a big tree and tied them, and then slowly walked to the temple.

Entering the ancient temple, Li Fengying saw that the temple was very dilapidated, and the tables and chairs on both sides had already accumulated dust, although there were traces of moving, but they were not cleaned. The bronze Buddha statue in the center is missing half of the head, revealing the essence of the mud fetus in it, but the body is still sitting upright, with the left hand flat and the right hand fingers in front. Although there is no incense in front of him, there are still three points of Buddha's posture. Li Fengying looked around again, and when he saw that there was still no one, he thought that it should be on the second floor, so he shouted, "Have you found your master?" ”

"No~!" Upstairs, Mu Xi's pity did not fall, but suddenly a cry came out, and then a loud noise was heard. Li Fengying frowned, only when Mu Xipi was conspired against, he was about to draw his sword and rush upstairs, but the shocking sword was not out of the sheath, but Mu Xilian had already gone downstairs. Li Fengying was stunned, only to see that Mu Xipian's face was covered with dust, and his hair was also wrapped in a lot of cobwebs, and he looked very embarrassed. When he saw it, he couldn't help but smile and said, "How did you look like this?" Isn't your master a thousand-year-old spider spirit? How else would I have gotten you a cobweb? As he spoke, he took the sword and reached out to tear the cobwebs off her head. Mu Xipi's mouth flattened, and he snorted: "You are not allowed to say that about my master." ”

"Okay, okay, I won't say it." Lee Bong-young responded. She had dusted off her cobwebs as she spoke. "Where's your master?" Li Fengying looked gloomy when she saw Mu Xipi, and although she had already guessed the reason, she still asked.

"I don't know." Mu Xilian sighed and said: "I have been looking for it for a long time, and I have even looked at the bottom of the table on the beam, but I haven't seen her." As he spoke, he couldn't help but become depressed, and said with a slight sense of horror in his eyes: "Could it be that she waited for me not to come and left alone?" If so, what then? What should Sister Yushu do? As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he was about to burst into tears.

Li Fengying saw that Mu was pitiful like this, and he was busy comforting him, and he said: "This won't be, I guess your master just went out for something, maybe he will come back in a while." ”

Mu Xilian heard Li Fengying say this, and hurriedly asked, "How do you know." Li Fengying said with a smile: "I just saw that although the hall is dilapidated, the corner of one side has been prepared with firewood and grass, and those firewood and grass have not accumulated dust, and there is still a damp state, obviously it was just picked up today." And there are traces of charcoal fire on that side, I think your master is still in the temple these days, and he has not gone far. ”

Hearing Li Fengying's words, Mu Xipian couldn't help but turn her sadness into joy and said: "Yes, how did I forget, it's already evening, Master, she must have gone hunting nearby." She burst into tears and laughed, "I'll go find her now." So saying, he ran out of the door to lead the horse, regardless of whether it was late and the road could be seen clearly. Li Fengying knew that this woman was acting in a hurry, and did not follow common sense, so she did not dissuade her, but just shouted: "Pay attention to safety." There was an answer from outside the door, followed by a roar of horses.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Li Fengying couldn't help but shake his head. When he saw that it was getting dark outside, he thought to himself that after a while he would lose sight, it would be better to light the fire first. So he walked to the side of the firewood and grass that had just been pushed, reached out and took the fire from his bosom and was about to make a fire. He tried it a few times, but found that the firewood and grass were not easy to ignite because of moisture.

Li Fengying frowned slightly, looked around, and saw that there was a wooden table on one side, with a broken leg, which had collapsed, and although a lot of dust had accumulated, the wood was very dry. Seeing this, he folded his hands and bowed to the Buddha statue and said, "If you use your sword in the house, please forgive the Buddha for any offense." As he spoke, he turned and drew his sword, split the wooden table into planks, and made a pile of sawdust to use as a fire medium. He took the fire and lit it again, and in a short time, he lit the fire in front of the Buddha statue.

The fire was piled up, and the room suddenly warmed up, and Li Fengying took the futon on one side to dust it and sat down, and put the previously damp firewood and grass next to the fire to bake. I thought to myself, "Who is the master of the wooden girl, and why did he live in this small temple?" ”

"Who is it?" Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a woman shouting outside the door. Li Fengying was startled, and subconsciously hurriedly picked up his sword. He turned his head to look, and saw a woman in a black and white robe standing in the doorway. The woman had a beautiful face, but she was unmasked, with a long sword hanging from her waist, and two hares in her left hand. She was dressed in black and white, not like a winter dress, but like a robe. Li Fengying guessed that this woman was Mu Xi's master, and just wanted to speak, but unexpectedly, the woman suddenly waved her right hand, and in an instant, three golden cones flew out of her long sleeves. Li Fengying was startled, hurriedly jumped back, jumped onto the lotus platform, the long sword in his hand flew up, and Dangdang knocked down the hidden weapon three times.

"The thief is good." The woman snorted and threw away the two dead rabbits in her hand. She crossed her arms in front of her, opened her bow left and right, and swung it violently, only to hear the swishing sound, and in an instant, dozens of golden cones flew out of her sleeve. The golden cone was overwhelming, like a huge net, and it went straight towards Li Fengying. Li Fengying secretly said in her heart that it was not good, knowing that she would never be able to block this move, so she jumped and hooked the top bearing beam in mid-air. I only heard a chaotic sound, and the dozens of golden cones had all hit the Buddha statue. Li Fengying hung on the beam, looked down and couldn't help but take a deep breath, it turned out that the gold cone used by the woman was each a finger long, and it was nailed to the Buddha statue at this time, but it didn't even enter most of it. "If you shoot one or two, I'm afraid the bones will be nailed through." Li Fengying thought about it, looked up and saw a hole on the top leading to the second floor, and thought, "Get out first." With a hook of his body and his feet cocked, the whole person had gone from the hole to the second floor from the bottom up.

"Isn't this person a merciful master? Why did you suddenly do it to me? Li Fengying landed the horizontal sword in front of him, and thought in his heart: "Isn't this person not a master of Mu Xipi?" A wicked man seeking revenge? He thought to himself that Mu Xipian and Master had been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and they must have made a lot of enemies. The reason why her master is unwilling to live with Mu Xilian must also be to avoid resentment against the Jing family. Thinking of this, it is natural to regard the woman as a wicked person.

There is no doubt that the woman is a merciful master, but Li Fengying has a preconceived idea, and has completely forgotten that she broke into the temple first and was regarded as a troublesome thief. One of them is an old grudge seeking revenge when the other is the other, and the other is a strongman who makes trouble. With these thoughts together, how can they still explain to each other? Li Fengying only felt a shock from the floor under his feet, and then several sword lights broke out of the wood. I only heard a loud bang, and the floor in front of Li Fengying instantly shattered, and a white shadow flew up from the hole, and then the cold light flashed, and a sword shadow had slashed to the door in front of Li Fengying. Li Fengying was frightened and hurriedly transported his sword to block, only to hear a crisp sound, and the woman slashed straight into the floor with a sword, but Li Fengying was unharmed. It turned out that the sword in Li Fengying's hand was extremely sharp, and he came to block it with a horizontal sword, and the woman slashed vigorously, and under the double sword split, the tip of the woman's long sword was actually cut off by Li Fengying's sword.

The woman slashed into the wooden board with a sword, and when she drew her sword, she couldn't help but be shocked, she saw that her long sword had no tip, and she was afraid that Li Fengying would attack her with a divine soldier in her hand, so she hurriedly kicked it out and hit Li Fengying in the chest. Li Fengying didn't expect to be able to cut off her long sword, and she was surprised in her heart, the woman suddenly kicked out, he was defenseless, and he only heard a bang, but it was Li Fengying's whole person who flew out and knocked over a bunch of empty prayer frames. I saw that the dust was flying, the cobwebs were filled, and Li Fengying's long sword was out of his hand, and it was buried by the collapsed prayer frame in an instant.
