Late at night Jiangnan was soaked in the rain, the air was filled with the smell of moisture, the fine rain hit the yellowed leaves, fell into the ground, soaked in the soil and disappeared, one or two hares squatted in the rain, staring at the red eyes, sucking the fresh air with a slight breeze, suddenly a cold wind struck, the rain hit the leaves obliquely, so that it finally broke away from the branches, slowly drifted on the ground, should have turned into soil to moisten the earth, but the two hares quickly ran into the hole, The cold of this season finally made them lose their desire to forage, and they would rather stay in the burrow for a while than endure the gloomy cold wave.

Hangzhou to the west, across the West Lake, Qinghu, to the north forty miles, the mountains are majestic and magnificent, but in the middle of the night trekking through the mountains and rivers, but he has no intention of watching the scenery, the sudden cold weather made him speed up his pace, listening to the dull sound of the rain dripping on the clothes, his steps have become a lot heavier, but after seeing the dim light in the rainy night, he gritted his teeth and insisted on stepping on this long mountain stone steps.

At the third watch, he finally knocked on the door of the temple, a little monk rubbed his eyes, lifted the lantern and looked at him carefully, and asked softly: "This donor, do you have anything to do?" ”

"Oh, little master, I was a small trader selling shoes in the next place, but because I was greedy for the distance, I missed the hour, and I was trapped at the bottom of the mountain, and the road was muddy on a rainy night, so I had no choice but to come and disturb it, spend the night, and leave tomorrow." He stood under the rain eaves, didn't care whether the monk agreed or not, directly took off his robe, stomped his feet, looked at the hesitant little monk, and showed a sincere smile on his face.

"Alright, come in." The little monk shook his head helplessly and agreed, "But if you make a noise, the senior brothers will fall asleep." ”

"Okay." He carefully pushed open the door and stepped into the temple, and when he looked up, this temple seemed to be not big, only the Daxiong Hall in front of him, and the two meditation rooms that were faintly visible in the distance, and maybe there were other buildings hidden in the rainy night.

The little monk closed the door tightly, greeted, he nodded hurriedly, bowed to the treasure hall with his hands folded, and followed closely behind the little monk.

The little monk held up a tattered paper umbrella, covering the two of them under the umbrella, and he asked in a low voice: "I don't know the master's name, so that I can remember it in my heart, and often miss the master's rainy night's stay." ”

"The donor is polite, the little monk is in the law, dare to ask the donor......"

"Oh, far to the east." He didn't wait for Fa Zhao to finish speaking, and hurriedly reported his name.

Fa Zhao nodded, and suddenly a cold wind hit, and he shrunk his neck and quickened his pace.

On the way, Dongfang Yuan also inquired about everything, this temple is called Qingshan Temple, there is only one abbot in the temple, four little masters, tonight is the law on duty, the other three senior brothers live in a room, the other is a guest room, and he did not see one, after the shadow of the mountain, is the abbot's residence.

After thanking him, Fa Zhao continued to go to the front door to watch the night, while Dongfang Yuan stepped into the guest room, took off his wet clothes, and fell asleep.

There was nothing to say all night, early in the morning, the rain still did not stop, Dongfang Yuan woke up early, went to the front hall to see the abbot and several other masters doing morning class, and then sat on the futon, folded his hands and prayed devoutly.

After some homework is done, Dongfang Yuan is about to say goodbye, the masters left him to eat breakfast, he did not shirk, followed to the dining hall to eat, the abbot left early, there were only four masters left in the hall, Dongfang Yuan randomly pulled two mouthfuls of gruel leaves, then put down the bowl, silently watched a few masters chew slowly, this look is not tight, there seems to be someone he knows among the four masters, he stared closely at one of the masters of the Fa Shan, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember.

"Seventh brother?" He asked tentatively.

Fa Shan really raised his head, but he was only slightly stunned for a moment, and then buried his head in fasting again.

"Sure enough, it's him!" Dongfang Yuan was very happy in his heart, but he didn't show his face, knocked lightly on the wooden table three times, got up and left the dining hall.

Outside the guest room, Dongfang Yuan leaned on the wall, looking at the gray sky in a daze, and after a while, he was tapped three times on the shoulder, he hurriedly turned around, held Fashan's hand tightly, and said excitedly: "Seventh brother, it's really you!" ”

"Shhhh Speak in a whisper! Fashan broke free of his palm and whispered, "Who are you?" ”

"Does it matter who I am?" Dongfang Yuan chuckled, his small eyes revealing a hint of a businessman's shrewdness.

"What are you coming to me for?" Fashan felt that he was not a good person, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"The eldest brother died tragically, what are you still in the mood to do as a broken monk, why don't you go to Luoyang with me, rectify the people, and avenge the eldest brother!" Dongfang Yuan clenched his fists and said hatefully.

"Amitabha...... The little monk has already escaped into the empty door, and he doesn't know any big brother, donor, you better go to Qin Shizhu to recover your life. Fashan shook his head and said softly.

"You! Ungrateful guys! Dongfang Yuan flicked his sleeves and left in the rain with a belly full of resentment.

Fashan looked up at the sky, breathed a long sigh of relief, and let it go? Maybe I really put it down.

Outside the temple gate, Dongfang Yuan put on his coat and glanced back gloomily, "Master Qin, return to life" This is the only news he can get, but this is enough, with his ability, it is enough to gain a firm foothold in Luoyang City, and he himself is convinced.

With the goal in mind, he didn't stay for a moment, and quickly descended the mountain and left.

……

The autumn rain is still falling, Yan Yunxing can already clearly feel the colder weather, after several twists and turns, he finally lurked into Suzhou City under the heavy surveillance of the enemy, Huo'er pretended to hide in the bun shop not far away to avoid the rain, he pinched the fake face made by Yao Shuang for him, nodded at Huo'er, and quickly swept towards the south city.

And in the east of Jinyang Town, close to Taihu Lake in the village of Xuba, Yao Shuang and Nan Huaxin finally relied on the mark to find Xiang Lingkong lurking in the village, at this time the rain is getting heavier and heavier, he is hiding in a firewood house to avoid the rain, in order not to disturb the master, Yao Shuang carried light work, Nan Huaxin secretly used the Shinto shadow technique, and quietly slipped into the firewood room.

As soon as Yao Shuang appeared, a strange ring-shaped black sword suddenly burst out in the dark, Yao Shuang didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly drew his sword to resist, the two recognized their respective weapons, and at the same time whispered:

"Hall Master Yao?"

"To the hall master!"

Xiang Lingkong appeared from the shadows, Yao Shuang hurriedly stepped forward, held Lingkong's hand tightly, and said excitedly: "Xiang Hall Master, I want to hurt me!" ”

"Hahaha......" Xiang Lingkong directly dragged Yao Shuang, and the two came to a big bear hug, Lingkong laughed and said: "I have long heard from the Bitang Master that the sect leader is approaching the return date, but I didn't expect to meet here, what about the sect leader, but I went to Suzhou?" ”

At this time, Nan Huaxin suddenly appeared, hurriedly broke free from Yao Shuangxiong's embrace to Lingkong, and asked sharply, "Who are you?" ”

It's not that he is too careful, Nan Huaxin's Shinto Shadow Technique is too ghostly, rainy weather, the shadow is completely blurry and invisible, and there is no breath, so he has to doubt the authenticity of Yao Shuang's identity.

Nan Huaxin hurriedly clasped her fists and saluted, "Uncle Xiang, Nan Huaxin is polite." ”

Yao Shuang also hurriedly explained: "She is the second disciple of the sect leader and a descendant of the Nan family. ”

Xiang Lingkong relaxed his vigilance, breathed a long sigh of relief, returned the salute to Nan Huaxin, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry to frighten Miss Nan, I'm living in a panic these days, like a frightened bird......"

"...... to the hall master" Yao Shuang interrupted him, waved his hand to show understanding, and the three of them finally let go of their defenses and began to explain their respective situations to each other.

It turned out that after Yan Yunxing went south, he got Bai Xiaobi's summons, and the academy sent a large number of disciples stationed in the area of Jia Fu Town and Dingjia Village to block Xiang Lingkong from going south, and Bai Xiaobi himself was not allowed to go north to respond, Yan Yunxing quickly made a decision, and ordered Yao Shuang to go to the Taihu Lake area to find Xiang Lingkong first, Nan Huaxin volunteered and was willing to go together, Nangong Jin also came with him when he heard it, Yan Yunxing considered that Yao and Hua both had the means to hide their figures, so they also stopped Nangong Jin. Yan Yunxing's order is to withdraw to Jinyang Town, not to entangle with the enemy, not to go south for the time being, Nan Huaxin has the Shinto Shadow Technique to act as a messenger, and the others are waiting for the opportunity to move.

Yao Shuang explained the situation, and told Lingkong that the brothers were all hidden in the reeds of Taihu Lake, and the two immediately discussed for a moment and made a retreat deployment, and after a while, the three of them slipped out of the firewood house and rushed to Taihu Lake in the rain.

As soon as the three of them walked out of the village, the rain gradually stopped, and Xiang Lingkong ripped off his robe, Yao Shuang hurriedly stopped: "Don't go to the hall master, wait to find a secluded place, I'll give you a change of face, it's safer to put on a cloak at this time." ”

Xiang Lingkong smiled and said indifferently, "Do you think you can still recognize me?" ”

Yao Shuang took a closer look, his beard was unshaven, and the heavy dark circles under his eyes were like two black coals around his eyes, he should have not rested for a long time, and the whole person had lost a whole circle, and he was not human-looking at all. Yao Shuang touched her stiff beard, and couldn't help but sigh, just five years is enough, but it is enough for a young boy to transform into a mature youth, yes, we are no longer young, and in a blink of an eye, we have reached the age of marriage and childbirth.

Xiang Lingkong doesn't care about these things, people will always die of old age, and no one can stop the erosion of time.

"Does Hall Master Yao know that Lao Qian's family has added a big fat boy?" He chatted to the spirit of the sky.

"You know, the sect leader said, what is the name?" Yao Shuang asked.

"Not yet, Lao Qian said that when the sect leader comes back, he will give the sect leader a bright name." Xiang Lingkong replied with a smile.

"Eh, are you married?" Yao Shuang then asked.

"Hehe......" Xiang Lingkong smiled: "It ended last autumn, I wanted to give birth to a big fat boy before Lao Qian, who knew that he would give him a quick start, hey...... It's better to marry early than to give birth early......"

Xiang Lingkong's face was filled with a happy smile, Yao Shuang's heart was both happy and unpleasant, the brothers all married wives and had children, but where is his future wife?

Is it tall or short, fat or thin?

Xiang Lingkong felt that Yao Shuang was a little lonely, and his heart was very uncomfortable, he was different from others, his relatives had become enemies, alone, and only this group of brothers could help him in the Five Poisons Sect.

"Old Yao......" Xiang Lingkong patted Yao Shuang's shoulder and said, "When the matter in Suzhou is over, go back to our southwest, I will let your sister-in-law match you, man, the top priority for starting a family and starting a business, what do you think?" ”

Yao Shuang nodded slightly, and was about to say a word of promise, but Nan Huaxin suddenly spoke: "Brother Yao is a young talent, and there are many women who like him......"

"Yo...... It seems that I'm too worried, what's the matter, there's a girl in the picture? Xiang Lingkong asked with a smile.

"Don't listen to her nonsense, how can any girl look up to me?" Yao Shuang hurriedly confessed, but Nan Huaxin snorted coquettishly and said: "The love of the Ninth Heavenly Demon King of Dongying is all obsessed with him, do you say that he is not popular?" ”

"Huh? Is it so powerful? Xiang Lingkong was surprised, "Old Yao, you really give our Five Poisons Sect Leader a face!" Hey...... Since you are so popular, then I won't be this matchmaker......" Thinking about it carefully, Brother Yao is indeed a rare hero in the sect, and it is not surprising that he is sought after by women.

Yao Shuang shook her head and smiled bitterly, opened her mouth to say something, but she still didn't say it, Hua Xin, Hua Xin, you have delayed your Uncle Yao's lifelong event, how can you compensate!

Ay......
