A deserted suburb dozens of miles south of Xichun County, Yichun County, is uninhabited and overgrown with weeds, and a trickling stream flows with clean water, meandering from north to south.

The basil beside the creek was more than a man tall, and it was full of weeds and thorns, covering a radius of several miles, and this generation was so barren that it could not even find a regular road, and passers-by who passed by here would surely be frightened by the gloomy and cold atmosphere here.

Two old trees, entangled with withered vines, under the twilight, these two ancient trees that are more than ten years old, just like demons in the wilderness, a few old crows stand on the branches of the old trees, making strange calls.

Withered vines and old trees are faint crows, but there are no small bridges and flowing water.

Desolate, bleak, gloomy, deserted!

The old people who live in Xichun County also know that it was very lively here, and there is an ancient temple, although it is not big, but for the Yan people who believe in Buddhism, this small temple is also where their spiritual attachment is, and the pilgrims are endless, most of them are ordinary people in the fields, and there are also some ** people and travelers who donate incense to this ancient temple. . .

It's just that I don't know which year, seven or eight monks in the ancient temple were killed overnight, and they were hung under the eaves of the door, and the government traced them, and there was no result, only the legend is that there are thieves watching the incense and silver in the ancient temple, so they kill people and rob money, but what happened has long been sealed in history.

But since then, the ancient temple has been dilapidated, there are no monks, naturally there are no pilgrims, and even more several lives were lost here, and there is a strange and gloomy atmosphere here.

Originally, there were three or five families on the edge of the ancient temple at the beginning, but after that incident, they had already moved away, and within a radius of a few miles, few people came, and it gradually became a barren place, and it was difficult to find people.

It seems that a few years ago, another group of monks came here to clean up the dilapidated ancient temple, and settled here, but there were no offerings to the Buddha, and no pilgrims came to burn incense.

It's like living outside the world, although the locals vaguely know that there is such a thing, but soon, everyone forgets that there is a dilapidated ancient temple here, and that there is a group of monks here...

……

A simple ancient temple, a main hall with a gray color, and two small brick houses behind it, one of which is used for cooking on weekdays, and the other is used for firewood.

There are several living rooms in the main hall, and the monks live in the main hall.

Although it has been re-cleaned up, but from a distance, the gray small ancient temple still looks gloomy, it is a lingering dimness, and the two ancient trees standing with crows are in front of the main entrance of the ancient temple.

Han Mo arrived here at dusk, and Li Gu was the only one who came with him.

Handing over the reins of the horse to Li Gu, Han Mo thought for a while before he said, "Don't go in, find a place to rest by yourself!" After speaking, he went straight into the ancient temple.

Li Gu tied the horse, and sat down against the ancient tree, but the crow on the branch was annoying, he raised his hand, and a light hit one of the crows on the branch, and the crow made a last strange cry, falling down from the branch like a stone, while the other crows were frightened and spread their wings away, and for a while it became more deserted and silent...

Li Gu's expression was indifferent, and then he took out a piece of wood from his arms, the lifeless wood, which would soon be turned into an aura lady by his knife---- that indelible story, a person who cannot be forgotten!

……

At the door of the ancient temple, there is still a plaque hanging, although this plaque is not new, but it is not how old, it is engraved with the three words of "nameless temple", the word is like flowing water, it looks like a peaceful meaning.

When Han Mo entered the door, a monk had already stepped forward and said, "Master Han!" ”

Han Mo smiled and clasped his hands together, and said warmly: "In the past few days, there have been a few masters. ”

"Amitabha, a monk, is just a person who helps the world." The monk said: "Master Han rest assured, the injuries of the few donors who live here are all fine, but it will take a few ......days to recover!" ”

Han Mo said sincerely: "There is Master Lao!" He took out a few silver tickets from his sleeve and stuffed them into the monk's hand: "Master, this is the incense money donated by Han Mo, please accept it!" ”

The monk hurriedly took a step back: "Master Han, it is the responsibility of Buddhism to save the world, you ......!" ”

Han Mo said sincerely: "Master don't worry, this incense silver donated by Han Mo is not because a few masters accepted my friends... It's just that Han Mo knows that the master of your temple is giving free diagnosis and treatment to the victims every day, and he is also giving free medicine, such a bodhisattva's heart, Han Mo is deeply admired. Han Mo's incense and silver is just a helping hand for all the masters, and it can save more people...... Please also ask the master to understand Han Mo's intentions! ”

"Amitabha, Lord Han Shi's house is kind-hearted, and the poor monk will receive it!" The monk took the silver ticket, put it away, and said: "Master Han, several donors are behind, you can go by yourself, the poor monk still needs to prepare medicine!" ”

Han Mo bowed deeply, and then walked through the main hall, out of the back door, and into the backyard.

The two dilapidated houses are facing each other, although they are simple, but they are very clean, and the ground in this courtyard is extremely clean. The door to the house on the left is slightly open, but the kitchen on the right is hidden.

The courtyard is very deserted.

Han Mo stepped forward and pushed open the door on the left, and after entering, he gently covered it with his hand, this small house was divided into three sections, and in the middle of the door, there were neatly placed chopped firewood, and on the left and right, there was a small door, and there were two rooms inside.

Han Moxian gently pushed the door open to the left, only to see a simple small wooden bed inside, a young girl lying on the bed, covered with futon, breathing evenly, sleeping extremely deeply.

Han Mo didn't go in, he gently closed the door, and only then did he get to the right, and gently pushed the door in.

In this room, however, there were two small wooden beds, one of which a man lay motionless, covered with a thin futon.

On the wooden bed outside, there was a thin middle-aged man sitting, and when he saw Han Mo coming in, a smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face.

"Sir!" Han Mo stepped forward and respectfully tried it.

This middle-aged man, of course, is Zhuang Yuan, the Ghost Valley Grandmaster who was temporarily placed here, compared to the appearance of the underground labyrinth, Zhuang Yuan at this time has changed greatly...

Zhuang Yuan, who was dying and miserable, had already taken a bath at this time, changed into a light brocade robe, his beard was shaved clean, and his hair was brushed and tied up, although he was still extremely thin, but the appearance he showed at this time was a calm and elegant middle-aged Confucian scholar.

Zhuang Yuan seemed to be in good spirits, and said with a smile: "Sit down!" ”

Only then did Han Mo pull over an old chair next to him and sit down.

"I guess you're supposed to be here these two days." Zhuang Yuan said calmly: "Yichun's affairs, is it almost handled?" ”

Han Mo nodded and said, "Jingli has sent officials from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Officials, who arrived last night, and they are cleaning up the mess here." The food in the gossip is also being transported out for disaster relief! ”

Zhuang Yuan nodded slightly: "What you should do, you have already done it, and you should let them do the rest of the things." You've been too conspicuous before, and you're ...... It's time to keep a low profile! ”

"Yes..." Han Mo nodded and said, "Today's affairs are mainly arranged by Situ Jing and Zhuge Min...... Situ Jing knew that this was an opportunity to atone for his sins, but he was also very attentive. This person was able to become the county guard of Yichun, and he still had some talents, but his bones were too soft, and he became the lackey ...... of the He family! ”

"The real employer is both a gentleman and a villain." Zhuang Yuan said calmly: "Those who make good use of people do not look at who they use, but how they use them!" ”

Han Mo said respectfully: "Disciple is taught!" After a pause, he frowned and said, "It's just that there is one more thing, and the disciple can't figure it out until now." ”

Zhuang Yuan stared at Han Mo and asked questions with his eyes.

"Zhuge Min!" Han Mo said a name: "Sir, Zhuge Min, according to the general saying, is a cautious person who never meddles in any disputed affairs easily, but this time...... On the issue of exterminating the He family, Zhuge Min was very active, from beginning to end, he was also on my side, although it seemed like a good thing, but ...... The disciple thinks that there may be some reasons that are not humane to outsiders, right? ”

Zhuang Yuan groaned slightly, and suddenly said: "I have rarely read Buddhist scriptures, but in the past few days, I have read a lot here, and I have memorized a passage, would you like to listen to it?" ”

Han Mo immediately got up and saluted respectfully: "Disciple leads!" ”

Zhuang Yuan said slowly: "Life in the world is like being in the midst of thorns, the heart does not move, people do not move, and if they do not move, they will not be hurt; If the heart moves, people move vainly, hurt their bodies and hurt their bones, and then experience all kinds of pain in the world... ”

Han Mo thought for a moment before he said, "What does Mr. mean......!" ”

Zhuang Yuan stared at Han Mo and said, "Zhuge Min is so active, naturally because he also wants the He family to be destroyed. He is unusual, and it is obvious that the backers behind him are also desperate for the destruction of the He clan. I see what you mean, you want to guess who he is backing against...... In fact, as Fang Cai said, you don't need to be tempted to guess now, and when it's time to surface, you will naturally know who he is. Even if you are tempted now, it is difficult to guess ......! ”

Han Mo nodded and said, "Not bad... Those who want the He clan to be destroyed, except for the Xiao family, other major families will have this thought...... Including our Han family! ”

"So maybe the Han family is the backer behind Zhuge Min's scenes!" Zhuang Yuan had a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth: "Can you deny this possibility?" ”

Han Mo frowned slightly, although it was impossible for him to believe that Zhuge Min was the hidden person of the Han family, but could he really deny it? After all, there are many things in the upper echelons of the family, which I still don't know.

"He may be from your Han family, or from the Su family, from the Hu family, or from the Fan family...... Even people who were originally royalty! Zhuang Yuan said calmly: "So you don't have to guess, at this time, after all, he is temporarily on the same front with you, if you have suspicion, as the Buddhist scriptures say, it is a reckless move, hurting yourself ......!" ”

Han Mo took a deep breath and said with a smile: "I understand, thank you for your teachings!" Glancing at the motionless man on the bed next to him, it was naturally Adi, and asked softly, "He...... Haven't woken up yet? ”

Zhuang Yuan said: "Although I haven't woken up, I have no ...... risk of life!" ”

Han Mo got up and walked to Adi's bedside, only to see that the angular face was already a little bloody, and his breathing was very even, and it didn't look like a big deal...

After all, several monks in this ancient temple are proficient in medical skills, and under the diagnosis and treatment of several of them, the injuries of Adi and the others have recovered quickly.

From then on, he heard footsteps outside the window, Han Mo turned around, and through the window, he saw a graceful figure coming in from the backyard door, holding a vegetable basket in his hand, and there were freshly washed vegetables in it, obviously just washed back.

The graceful figure and the vegetable basket were unusually incongruous, but Han Mo didn't expect that a cold and arrogant beauty like Xiao Lingzhi would also carry the vegetable basket.

Xiao Lingzhi's cold arrogance gives people a kind of cold beauty that does not eat fireworks in the world, and the vegetable basket is precisely the most direct fireworks in the world.

This kind of scene in Han Mo's eyes, although it made him a little surprised, but it quickly made him feel that Xiao Lingzhi at this time was amazingly beautiful, so beautiful that it was suffocating.

Emei sweeping, cold face, bright as the autumn moon, walking, willow waist, fragrant. Hips twisting, swaying, in this simple album, Xiao Lingzhi's brushstrokes are a stunning and beautiful scenery.

Seeing Xiao Lingzhi enter the kitchen opposite, Han Mowu was stunned.

"She's a good girl!" Zhuang Yuan said softly behind him: "These days, it's a loss to her!" ”

When Han Mo heard this, he came back to his senses.

In the past few days, he has been dealing with the affairs of the He clan in Xichun City, and he has not dared to take it lightly, and he has not dared to leave there for a moment, so he has not come here for several days.

These people were out of the gossip trap and were arranged here by Han Mo, naturally they were extremely secretive, Han Mo naturally couldn't let others know, even today, they only came with Li Gu, who he trusted very much.

Xiao Lingzhi and the four of them, Adi and Hanxiang have not yet woken up, and Zhuang Yuan can't move his hands and feet, so it can only be Xiao Lingzhi to serve these people. But looking at the way she walked, the injury on her leg was almost recovered.

Han Mo muttered, "Yes, she...... What a good girl! Gently walked out of the door, passed the yard, walked lightly to the kitchen door, stood by the door, looked inside, and saw Xiao Lingzhi lighting the fire by the stove, which was about to prepare for cooking.

Peace and tranquility!

Han Mo suddenly felt that his nervous mood for a while was extremely relaxed at this moment, and the picture in front of him made him full of a sense of intimacy.

That beautiful woman made him feel a warmth that was difficult to describe.

This deserted and depressed place, because of the existence of this woman, has a quiet and peaceful artistic conception of the countryside, Han Mo looked at the woman blankly, and suddenly groaned: "The Tian family has no thick food and clothing, and if you don't see the county gate, you will ......be happy!" ”
