Chapter 109: Man Goes to Observe the Sky

They went straight to the door of the East Small Courtyard where the fairy Gu was treating people, Lai Xing'er tied the little white dragon under a big elm tree outside the courtyard gate, turned around and walked to the door, raised his right hand, knocked lightly, and asked, "Is there anyone inside?" Please open the courtyard door and let us in. ”

It took a long time for the two of them to hear movement in the courtyard. This Lingdu Temple is so quiet, could it be that those sergeants have already taken Li Shu away from the temple? Lai Xing'er immediately dispelled this idea. Because, with his understanding of Nayu, even if her back injury had not healed, the dozen or so sergeants wanted to take her down easily, but they were afraid that it would be more difficult than ascending to the sky. The sergeants came up the mountain to arrest Li Shu, Na Yu would not sit idly by, there would inevitably be a fight between the two sides, why did he come all the way and not see the slightest trace of the fight?

The door of the small courtyard opened with a "squeak", and a head poked out of it, and by the hazy moonlight, Lai Xing'er recognized that it was the female Taoist boy who was teased by the sergeants during the day, and hurriedly said to her: "Xiaodao chief, it's me, the patient we carried up the mountain during the day is in the hospital, has he woken up?" ”

The female Taoist boy also recognized Lai Xing'er, and before he finished speaking, she wanted to close the courtyard door and turn the two of them away, but Lai Xing'er stretched out her hand to block it. The situation was urgent, and he didn't allow Xing'er to explain it clearly to the female Taotong, so he took advantage of the situation to push open the courtyard door and walked straight in. Seeing this, Jiang Zhongshi grinned at the female Taoist boy and said, "This time you should be scolded by the master." But he didn't stop, and he scurried in.

The female Taoist boy was so anxious that she raised her voice and shouted, "All the people living in this courtyard are women, what do you want to do?" It's been nearly two hours since my sister took the sick man away, and there's no one in this courtyard you're looking for! ”

The movement in the courtyard alarmed Li Tengkong, who was meditating cross-legged in the upper room, she pushed the door out of the room, stood in front of the steps, and coldly rushed to Xing'er and said: "More than a dozen sergeants under your command are pestering the presiding Taoist dignitaries in the Guanzhong Hall at the moment, and the general broke into my courtyard alone, I don't know what I want?" ”

Lai Xing'er first heard the female Taoist boy say that Na Yu had left the Lingdu Temple with Li Shu, and was startled, he had already stopped, and then heard Li Tengkong say that the dozen or so sergeants under his command were really meritorious, and they carried themselves up the mountain, and now they are in the Lingdu Temple, and immediately turned around, and ordered to Jiang Zhongshi: "Xiaoshi, you go to the main hall to pass on my general order, call all the people over, and wait for me outside the courtyard gate." ”

Jiang Zhongshi was very happy to get this messenger, agreed, turned around and left, and when he walked past the female Taoist boy, he didn't forget to joke with her: "It's not that you are the one who will be scolded, the person who will accompany you to be scolded will come soon." Seeing that although he was dressed as a villager, he was not like a group of sergeants, but he was just as annoying as those sergeants, and shouted angrily at his back: "If you want to be poor again, carefully tell you to go down the mountain road and encounter a monster and be swallowed alive by it." ”

Li Tengkong saw that Lai Xing'er was going to summon all the sergeants, his heart suddenly became vigilant, pointed to the outside of the courtyard, and instructed Lai Xing'er: "It's getting late, the poor road and others are all women, and there are many inconveniences in the same courtyard with the general, so please take care of the general." ”

"Daoist, to tell you the truth, the patient we carried up the mountain during the day is actually the leader of the rebel army in the imperial court. Ask the Taoist to inform the last general of his whereabouts, and the last general will leave immediately, and will never disturb the Taoist Qingxiu. ”

"Poor Dao only knows that the people who come to my small courtyard are all patients who come to ask Poor Dao for treatment, and other things have nothing to do with Poor Dao, and Poor Dao doesn't have the heart to ask. These words have been made clear to the general and your subordinates not long ago, and if the general is impatient to listen, Poor Dao will say it again, just say it, and Poor Dao will ask the general to move out of my small courtyard. ”

Lai Xing'er didn't ask Li Shu's whereabouts, how could he leave easily, he stood in place and didn't move, clasped his fists and bowed down to Li Tengkong and asked Li Tengkong again: "Please forgive the last general, and it is difficult to obey his fate." Since the Taoist chief said that he did not know the whereabouts of the man, then the last general asked the Taoist chief, according to the patient's illness, can he withstand the long journey overnight? We carried him up the mountain to ask the Taoist to save his life, and the Taoist will no longer shy away from his current condition, right? ”

Li Tengkong saw that Xing'er Lai refused to leave in the hospital, and he was already angry, and when he heard that he still had to go around the bend to inquire about the whereabouts of the patient, he simply ignored him anymore, and only ordered the female Taoist boy to "send off the guest", and turned around to go back to the room.

Lai Xing'er couldn't ask Li Shu's whereabouts and whereabouts from Li Tengkong's mouth, and his eyes were red, and he roared in a low voice: "The Taoist chief refuses to tell the whereabouts of that person, and the general has no choice but to offend." I'm going to search this courtyard first, but I want to see if this person really left the Lingdu Temple as the Taoist chief said. After that, he drew his sword with a "brush", and was about to follow Li Tengkong into the room to search.

"Vertical Bold!"

Li Tengkong turned around, puffed up his chest, resisted Lai Xing'er's sword, and shouted loudly.

Lai Xing'er didn't suspect that Li Shu would hide in this upper room, but seeing that Li Tengkong's reaction was so fierce, he became a little suspicious, so he used the method of "fluttering butterflies with flowers", and suddenly he had already shook Li Tengkong, and slipped into the upper room with a "whoosh".

When Li Tengkong came back to his senses, he wanted to turn around and enter the room to blast him out, but saw that Lai Xing'er had walked out of the room with a long sword in his hand. He no longer asked for Li Tengkong's consent, and in the blink of an eye, he checked four or five houses in the small courtyard one after another, but still found nothing, so he came to the courtyard again, and stood in front of the door of the upper room, so angry that Li Tengkong bowed down and apologized, and said: "I have offended a lot tonight, and I will come to the door at the end of another day to apologize." The last general took his leave. With that, he walked out of the courtyard.

Li Tengkong has the medical skills of saving people and curing diseases, but he doesn't know anything about martial arts, and there is a long sword hanging in the room, which is also for the purpose of the town, so he can only watch Lai Xing'er turn around in the courtyard and is powerless to stop it.

When Xing'er was discharged from the hospital, Li Tengkong still felt that his face couldn't hold it, and he scolded hatefully at the gate ......of the courtyard: "One day in the future, if you meet my junior sister, you will be good-looking."

Lai Xing'er walked out of the courtyard gate, and saw one or twenty black shadows walking out of the Lingdu Guanshan Gate in the west, and walked towards him. He stared intently and looked around, trying to find out all the roads leading to the mountain and down the mountain, but the moonlight was dim, except for the mountain road that he and Jiang Zhongshi had just come up the mountain, he could see everything really.

What can I do? If it is really as the female Taoist said, Na Yu left the Lingdu Temple with Li Shu, facing this vast mountain, how can he find the dozen or so soldiers he brought with him?

Lai Xing'er thought about it so far, and couldn't help but feel a burst of frustration and helplessness.

"General, why did you come up the mountain yourself?"

A slightly older voice asked Xiang Xing'er. It's Jingxuzi! Lai Xing'er's eyes lit up, and then he became confused again, listening to his questioning tone, it was completely different from the daytime, and the voice was full of low and low stuttering, only a few hours have not been seen, why does Jing Xuzi seem to be a different person.

Jing Xuzi saw that Lai Xing'er was standing there by himself, and he didn't take care of his own stubble, and he was even more uneasy in his heart, so he came over and explained with a smile: "Poor Dao Fang accepted these military masters to ask, and only then did he know that the patient who was personally sent up the mountain by the general during the day was actually the big leader of the Puzhou rebels. It turned out that before you came up to the mountain for the second time, the Tang girl who was recuperating from her injuries in the temple did not report to the poor Dao that she had learned about it, so she left the Lingdu Temple with the patient without authorization, and she didn't know where she went. Those military masters kept threatening Poor Dao, saying that if they couldn't find the patient tonight, they would set fire to the Lingdu Temple. General, you have a clear understanding that this matter has nothing to do with the Lingdu View and the Poor Dao, and besides, this Lingdu View was built by Princess Yuzhen to the first emperor, and it really can't be burned......"

Lai Xing'er was impatient to listen to his nagging, waved his hand to stop him, and asked, "Dao Chief, don't be busy talking about anything else beforehand." Let me ask you, how many roads are there up and down the mountain in this spiritual capital temple, and where do they lead? ”

Jing Xuzi didn't know how to be intimidated by that group of rogue soldiers, and the immortal wind dao bones that had been cultivated for many years, as well as the quiet inaction and Zhuo Buqun that monks should have, were all thrown out of the clouds, and he couldn't care about being reserved, and replied busily: "Poor Dao understands what the general means, and the general can rest assured, Poor Dao will definitely help the general to arrest those two people back as soon as possible." General, please see, there are four roads up and down the mountain on the southeast, north, and west sides of the Lingdu Temple, and there is only one way up the mountain, which is the one behind you that leads to the rooftop of the main peak of Wangwu Mountain, and the road down the mountain leads to ...... respectively."

Lai Xing'er thought for a while, turned back to the dozen sergeants and ordered loudly: "I know that everyone is looking forward to making great contributions and returning to the camp to be rewarded, so I will not blame you for violating the order and going up the mountain without permission. Now the person we are looking for is gone, and now we can only catch him again by chasing him separately overnight. All the people obeyed my orders, and divided into four groups in a group of four, and chased along the four roads that the Taoist had just said, and for the time being, it was about the time limit of tomorrow dawn, and if any group found his traces before dawn, they should not act blindly, but must sound arrows to warn, and the other groups should immediately converge to the other side after hearing the warning arrows, and then move according to the situation. If no trace of it has been found after dawn, each group will temporarily gather in the courtyard at the edge of Songtai Village at the foot of the mountain. Did you hear it all? ”

He deliberately set the meeting place in Songtai Village, because he wanted to remind these guys who wanted money and didn't want to die, and not forget the two companions who were beheaded by his sword in Songtai Village. Sure enough, after more than a dozen sergeants listened to Lai Xing'er's reprimand, none of them dared to stand up and question and stab.

Lai Xing'er quickly divided the dozen sergeants into four groups, and asked Jing Xuzi for a few torches to illuminate each group, and then with an order, more than a dozen sergeants immediately split up.

Lai Xing'er himself took Jiang Zhongshi and two sergeants to choose the only road leading to the mountain and chased them all the way. (To be continued.) )
