Chapter 482: Loyalty

The night breeze is bleak, the jackdaws are chirping, and the barren mountains are broken.

The six people are divided into all corners of the ruined temple.

Two good-looking women, wearing long white dresses, standing in the middle of the ruined temple.

A short and thin old man wears a hat on his head and a robe, squatting in the corner and weaving a bamboo basket with bamboo strips.

A white-faced thin scholar, holding an incense stick, closed his eyes, and worshiped the broken idol devoutly.

A burly man was bare-chested, leaning against a pillar, closing his eyes and recuperating, and the bewitching woman in his arms was wearing a luxurious fur coat, and was bored with his hair.

"I said,"

The demon woman opened her red lips, and her voice was charming and soft, which was intoxicating, "Xiao Shusheng, what are you worshipping that broken god statue, is it possible that you are asking God to appear and bless you as a high school champion, and Donghuamen can't be a roll call?" ”

"Heh, if you can get Wu Dewei to erase my criminal record, it will be easy to gain fame."

The young man known as Xiao Shusheng just smiled, did not look back, and still bowed and worshiped the idol, "I worship this temple just because of its spirit." ”

"Spirit? How come I haven't heard of it."

The demon woman raised her eyebrows, "True spirit, there have already been fools and fools who have come to repair the temple, how can it be dilapidated and withered." ”

"You don't know that."

Xiao Shusheng shook his head, "Twenty years ago, there was a wandering merchant with a year's savings, passing by this temple on his way home, preparing to rest for a night, and set off again tomorrow morning to rush back to his hometown and reunite with his wife.

Timid in the countryside, the merchant tossed and turned, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, he heard the sound in a daze, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was a few ruffians and hooligans, chasing a woman to the ruined temple, forcing her to the corner, ready to be strong.

The merchant saw that the ruffians had short blades in their hands, but they were defenseless.

If you rush forward to stop it, you may just take your life for nothing.

In the midst of his hesitation, the merchant thought of his wife and daughter, and what should he do if he was despised and had no one to help him?

Thinking of this, the merchant mustered up his courage, picked up the broken brick and rushed forward, slamming it into the head of a ruffian.

In an instant, blood splattered, and the ruffian fell to the ground,

The merchant snatched the dagger with red eyes, stabbed the others, and shouted for the woman to run.

Suddenly, he felt a tingling pain in his head, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he was still lying on the floor of the ruined temple, and the sky had turned white.

It turned out that there were all kinds of things, but it was just a strange dream last night. ”

Xiao Shusheng paused, and continued, "The merchant wiped his cold sweat, packed his luggage and continued to hurry, and finally returned to his hometown, but saw that there were villagers gathered at the door of his house, and the chief was directing people to move the dead body out of his house.

The merchant was worried about his wife, so he pushed the crowd into the house to take a look, but saw his wife shivering and hiding in the corner.

After inquiry, I learned that several ruffians broke into the house today, trying to scare his wife, and when he was about to succeed, one of them suddenly vomited blood from his mouth, his eyes were wide open, and he died violently.

The others were terrified and scrambled to the door, and before they could get out of the gate, they all vomited blood and died violently.

The villagers all said that it was the temple that had a spirit, so that this merchant, who had accumulated virtue and done good deeds, could save his wife from a distance of several miles.

Since then, the villagers have repaired this temple a lot, until the plague broke out, and the war disaster broke out, this temple was abandoned and became what it is today. ”

After that, Xiao Shusheng patted the beams with some interest, and said with emotion: "There are three Yangshi, and it is up to you to accumulate good and evil.

Throughout the ages, who has been let go of the underworld.

Accumulate virtue and do good, accumulate virtue and do good. ”

"Haha."

The demon woman seemed to have heard something extremely ridiculous, laughed out of tears, and exaggeratedly beat the burly man's chest with her pink fist,

"I remember that when you were a scholar, it was because of your poor family background, you failed many times, and you couldn't pursue Miss Qianjin, so you poisoned and murdered the other party's family in anger.

Since then, I have to fall into the grass, right?

Are you still talking about accumulating virtue and doing good? ”

"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot.

As long as it's new"

Xiao Shusheng shook his head with a smile, casually nailed the incense stick on the wooden table in front of the Buddha statue, turned around and said, "Why hasn't Ruan Tian come yet?" Didn't he go with his brother to save Wu Arc? ”

"There is a new Taoist priest in Goose City, and the county order sent him to take care of the prison."

The demon woman stretched and said lazily: "I heard that he killed Hu Wan." ”

"Oh? Although Hu Wan had not practiced the Body Devouring Method for a long time, he could kill him, and the Taoist priest still had two brushes. ”

Xiao Shusheng nodded, his ears moved, and he looked at the door, "It's here." ”

Stomp and tread.

Hurried footsteps from far to near, Ruan Tian, who was wearing night clothes, had a gloomy face, covered his waist and abdomen, and walked into the broken temple.

He was followed by Ruan Di and Wu Arc.

The burly man who had not spoken slowly opened his eyes, looked at Ruan Tian, and said in a deep voice, "Are you injured?" ”

"Hmm."

Ruan Tian nodded gloomily, "The Taoist priest in charge of guarding the prison is a hard idea, and it doesn't seem to be from Longhu Mountain. ”

He glanced at the two maids standing in the middle of the ruined temple, gritted his teeth, and held back the words that came to his lips.

The burly man continued to ask, "Did the Dao man chase after him?" ”

"Nope."

Ruan Di took over, "I set up a puppet in the north of the city, he should go there."

Why, do you want to plan to kill him? ”

Ruan Di was a little eager to try, he and his brother were both masters who refused to suffer,

I almost died in the prison of Goose City today, and I can't count it like this anyway,

If you can say that the Holy White Lotus in the temple can be broken and shot together with the same door, let alone a mere Taoist priest, even Goose City can show him.

Unfortunately, the maid standing in the middle of the ruined temple interrupted his imagination, "No, you have more important things to do,

That Taoist priest, it's not too late to cook afterwards. ”

The maid is the personal maid of the Holy White Lotus Son, with a noble status, as soon as she speaks, everyone in the broken temple bows their heads slightly to show respect,

Even Ruan Tian carefully restrained his resentful expression, for fear of being left by the maid.

"Handmaiden, I wonder why you summoned us and others?"

The short and thin old man with a hat on his head arched his hand and asked respectfully.

Several of them are all members of the Holy White Lotus Clan, but for various reasons, they are not closely related to the Luzhou rudder to which they are nominally subordinate, and they often go their own way.

"I call you all together, it is the intention of the Holy Son."

The maid was expressionless, and said coldly: "Presumably you should have heard that in the near future, there will be an Annan mission to Kyoto in the north, passing through Luzhou.

What the mission is preparing to present to the emperor is a rare beast that speaks human language, knows mathematics, is good at witchcraft, and knows yin and yang.

The Holy Son asks you to snipe the Annan Mission in Luzhou City and snatch the strange beast. ”

"Since it's the meaning of the Holy Son, then why don't you just let Lu Zhou split the rudder..."

Ruan Tianxia subconsciously asked, but when he caught a glimpse of the expressionless face of the maid, he immediately closed his mouth and suddenly thought of something.

The status of the Holy Son and the Holy Maiden in the White Lotus Sect is extremely high, and they are even more echoed among the believers.

But when it comes to real power, as well as the private forces at hand, it is not as good as the left and right envoys and the four protectors.

In particular, the Holy White Lotus Sect Master has disappeared and concealed his whereabouts, and he has not appeared in front of the world for a long time.

Every year, the celebration is often carried out by the Holy Maiden.

In this case, rumors about the inner circle of the Holy White Lotus naturally spread.

There is a saying that the sect leader has died, the Holy Son and the Holy Maiden have been hollowed out, and all the affairs of the sect have been taken over by the left and right envoys and the four protectors...

Could it be that the handmaiden appeared here, because the Holy Son was at a disadvantage in the high-level struggle,

Do you want to use these rangers to scatter their bravery, bypass the Luzhou rudder who is loyal to the left envoy of the Holy White Lotus, and make a fuss about the Annan mission in Luzhou City?

The ruined temple fell silent for a while, and several disciples bowed their heads and were silent, their minds turning rapidly, frantically thinking about the true meaning of the handmaidens summoning them.

Except for one person.

"White Lotus Gate, I am the White Lotus God, the word White Lotus can be heard, if you move my White Lotus people, we must have your soul!"

Wu Arc took a step forward, stretched out his right fist and hammered his chest, opened his throat and shouted: "Talking about life and death and holding the dragon sword, the arrogance of the white lotus is higher than the sky!"

The Holy Son can fly with confidence, and Wu Arc will always be with you!

I will give my heart for the Son! ”
