Shengtong's small temple is twenty-five miles outside the city, it is really a remote and broken small place, only two broken courtyards before and after, and the golden body of the Buddha on the small hall has been broken. Even if someone wants to burn incense, worship the Buddha and make a wish, they will not come here.

People always think that if the appearance is bright, it must be good and beautiful, but if you gather the Buddha statues in the world together and peel them to take a look, they are actually all mud tires, and there is no difference.

The guest room in the backyard is damp and gloomy, the place is not very narrow, but there is only a bed, a table, and a stool, which makes the walls even more gloomy, empty and lonely, and the lone lamp is even more dim and dim. The dust on the walls has not been removed, the cobwebs are on the roof, and the broken scriptures by the lone lamp have not been read for a long time.

What kind of bleak and lonely years did the people who lived here live?

Ye Gucheng was lying on the cold and hard wooden bed, although he had already felt very tired, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

He had long been accustomed to loneliness. A swordsman like him was destined to be isolated from the world, just like an ascetic monk, he had no chance to enjoy any joy in the world.

Before Ximen Chuixue experienced the battle of Gongjiu, he no longer mentioned the word kendo, and after that battle, he didn't even talk about the word 'dao'.

Maybe in his heart, every qiē is the Tao, and the other is not the Tao, and the word Tao does not need to be forced, giving birth to all things in heaven and earth.

And after Ye Gucheng experienced that battle, he believed in the way of the sword even more. He believed that the Tao could only be realized in silence and suffering.

The same goes for kendo. No home, no friends. No wife, no children, no relatives. In his lifetime. Loneliness was his only companion.

Who is right of these two understandings of the Tao?

There may be no right or wrong, even if the winner of the decisive battle can only mean that his martial arts are superior, not absolutely correct.

The wind blew in through the window, and the broken windows sounded like fallen leaves, and the house still carried a foul smell that even the wind could not blow. He knew his wound was completely festering. It's like stinky meat with maggots.

He was a lonely and noble man. Now he is hiding in this black hole like a wounded wild dog.

The secret weapon of the Tang Sect has been famous for hundreds of years, and it is by no means in vain.

There was the sound of the wind outside the window, and there was the sound of footsteps in the wind.

The sword was on the table. But he didn't draw his sword, because he could draw it at any time, even if he was wounded.

In the face of danger, some people will immediately get nervous like a cat with a sting. Draw your sword. This kind of person's martial arts are generally not too high, on the contrary, if a person's martial arts reach a certain point, he will not make a light move, because he believes that as long as he wants to make a move, he can make a move at any time, and once he makes a move, someone will inevitably die.

Su Yang and Lu Xiaofeng were smiling. Looking at him, he said, "Didn't you think we would come?" ”

Ye Gucheng didn't say anything. Turning around and sitting down on the only stool, he said slowly, "You shouldn't have come, there's no wine here!" ”

Lu Xiaofeng smiled: "But there are friends here." ”

Friend! These two words are like wine, full of hot wine, flowing into Ye Gucheng's throat and into his chest.

Suddenly, he felt the blood in his chest hot, and he even wanted to say something.

But he still didn't say it, because he had become accustomed to life without friends and relatives.

"We're not here to force you to say something, but we just heard that a friend is injured and we're coming to visit." Su Yang said, Ye Gucheng is a kind of person, if what he doesn't want to say is that if you cut off his head, he won't say a word.

Ye Gucheng nodded and spit out two stiff words: "Thank you." ”

Thank you means not only to Su Yang and Lu Xiaofeng for sending a little warm thanks in his solitude, but also 'admitted', admitting that he does know some inside information, but he can't say it.

Lu Xiaofeng sighed and said, "Before the decisive battle, you shouldn't have fought with someone like Tang Tianyi, you should know that the secret weapon of the Tang Sect is indeed incurable." ”

Ye Gucheng closed his mouth again, and was silent for a longer time before he said slowly: "I really didn't want to fight him!" ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "But you"

Ye Gucheng interrupted him and said, "But he found me, and he must force me to draw my sword, and he said that I took advantage of his absence to tease his wife!" ”

Su Yang said: "Of course you don't, Tang Tianyi's heart is too small, and he would actually believe such words." ”

Ye Gucheng sneered.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Since there isn't, why don't you explain?" ”

Ye Gucheng said: "If you were me, would you explain?" "When some people encounter such a thing, they will definitely cry out and swear by the sky, but Ye Gucheng will never, he will definitely not explain, because this kind of thing is not worth explaining at all, and in fact, it cannot be explained.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "But you still don't understand, with your swordsmanship, Tang Tianyi shouldn't have a chance to hurt you!" ”

Ye Gucheng's hand clenched, and after a long time, he said: "I didn't want to say anything about this, but just when I was about to draw my sword, I suddenly heard a faint flute, and then found a poisonous snake."

In the battle of life and death, anyone who finds a poisonous snake that can kill people at any time will inevitably be a little distracted, not to mention that Tang Tianrong is a first-class master of poison in the world, and the current number one master of the Tang Sect, Ye Gucheng can still kill the master of the Tang family with one sword under these circumstances.

But if you don't say what you can't say, what you say must be true?

Su Yang said: "It is said that many people have placed heavy bets on me, betting on me to win!" Bet on you to win the line 7 to 1! ”

Ye Gucheng looked contemplative in his eyes, and said: "Of course, there are also people who bet on Ximen to win the snow, if I lose, the person who bets on the Ximen to win the snow can sit and reap huge profits." ”

"So the person who framed you is the one who bet on Simon to blow the snow?"

Ye Gucheng said: "Do you think so?" ”

"Vipers?" On the way to find Li Yanbei, Lu Xiaofeng's face has not been very good.

The dignified White Cloud City Lord Ye Gucheng. Seriously injured because of a poisonous snake?

Even Li Yanbei couldn't believe it, but when Lu Xiaofeng took out the white cloth that was sticky with blood, Li Yanbei had to believe it. Although he is not a big expert in using drugs, he can tell whether he is toxic or non-toxic after rolling in the rivers and lakes for so many years.

"This news is only known to the three of us!" Su Yang said to Li Yanbei: "If it is revealed, I'm afraid that the next one of the four guards will be you!" ”

Of course, Li Yanbei will not reveal it, but a fool will reveal it, and now everyone thinks that Ye Gucheng will win. The chips of betting on Ye Gucheng are getting bigger and bigger, and the fewer people know about Ye Gucheng's injury. The more he earns in the future.

Li Yanbei suddenly felt that the passionate impulse at that time seemed to be correct and very worthwhile.

"How's your men doing?" Su Yang asked.

Li Yanbei nodded: "Don't worry, but I can't control Nancheng Lao Du." ”

"Lao Du, I'll go there." After Su Yang finished speaking, he was ready to leave. I haven't taken a step yet. Li Yanbei suddenly grabbed him, and stopped talking, a generation of Jianghu tycoons actually looked a little shy.

"This, I'm betting so much, so I want to see it with my own eyes, but the Forbidden City is not something that people like me can enter, I heard that you have a few silk ribbons in your hands" Li Yanbei has already learned the news that silk is the token to enter the Forbidden City. Of course, this opportunity will not be missed.

Lu Xiaofeng patted his head and said with a smile: "We almost forgot about this matter!" ”

Six strips of silk. There is one Mudao person, one Li Yanbei, and there are four left

Li Yanbei likes to drink, Nanchen Lao Du likes to drink tea the most, and Lao Du likes to be called a bachelor, so the teahouse is the place he goes to the most.

It's afternoon, and there are already a lot of people in the teahouse, and Lao Du hasn't come yet.

Su Yang and Lu Xiaofeng have already fought with people a few times, strictly speaking, it was Lu Xiaofeng who fought with people, and after one fight, no one asked them to fight again.

This one is fought with Bu Ju, the chief scoop of the thirty-six gangs of thieves in the area of Bu Juwei Town, Sichuan and Xiang, the leader of the "Open Heaven Palm"! Usually when the corner of his eye jumps, he wants to kill.

He also wanted silk, but Su Yang didn't want to give it, so Lu Xiaofeng could only hit him.

The second person is Tang Tianzong, Tang Tianrong, Tang Tianyi's younger brother, the third best player in the Tang family today, one of his two brothers is dead and the other is disabled, so he also has to go into the palace to take a look, even if he knows that he can't kill Ye Gucheng, he has to see with his own eyes the fate of this big enemy, so he got one.

There are three left.

Lu Xiaofeng said with a smile: "It's also very fast, and half of it will be sent out in a blink of an eye." ”

At this moment, a person walked in the teahouse, this person was very tall, very thin, very well-dressed, with a very gentle attitude, with spotted temples, a thin face, and wearing a royal blue robe with elegant materials and colors, sure enough, it was Lao Du, Du Tongxuan.

"Are you waiting for me?" Lao Du is a very smart person, and he has a lot of subordinates, so of course he knows what is happening in the teahouse.

"This is at the junction with Li Yanbei's territory, you dare to come alone, you are really bold." Suyang Road.

"If you had killed me, you wouldn't have brought me here, and since you didn't kill me, who could kill me with you here?" Lao Du is very leisurely.

Lu Xiaofeng laughed: "Do you know what we are looking for you?" ”

Lao Du's martial arts are not good, and his power is not as good as Li Yanbei's, but there is a reason why he can mix in the capital to this day and has not been annexed by Li Yanbei.

He knows the times.

"Li Yanbei doesn't move, and I don't move." Lao Du smiled bitterly: "Even if I want to move, Li Yanbei doesn't move, I can't move anything." ”

"Gu Qingfeng has a good relationship with you?" Su Yang asked again.

"People like us, there is nothing wrong with it, only whether there is any interest." Lao Du said: "Since Gu Qingfeng is dead, I have nothing to do with him." ”

"I'll give you a ribbon." Su Yang stuffed the ribbon into Lao Du's hand.

The silk that other people's daughters can't ask for, but Lao Du held it in his hand like a life talisman, and said with a bitter face: "Can I not want it?" ”

"What do you say? Not only do you have to accept, but you have to go when the time comes, if I don't see you then. Su Yang smiled and didn't continue.

If Lao Du and Li Yanbei were both in the Forbidden City at the time of the duel, under the control of Su Yang and Lu Xiaofeng, then they would be two hostages, no matter what they thought in their hearts, the capital would not be in chaos. (To be continued......)
