Chapter 22: Breaking the Temple and Going to War
Yueyi woke up again, "Strange, I'm obviously not sleepy, why did I fall asleep again?" β
In the two hours she had been asleep, Yunzhan was thinking about the copper compass she had used yesterday. Yueyi didn't know the origin of this compass, she thought it was just for pointing the direction, but Yunzhan clearly knew that it was a century-old artifact - the Demon Pointing Compass. It came by chance, and when it fell into the hands of Yun Zhan, he really knew that there were demons in the world. Countless legends and words of his predecessors used to be only once in his ears, but slowly he understood the real world.
You have to believe that there are other species in the world, and since immortals and demons can, then gods and ghosts must also exist.
As soon as Yue went out, she saw Yunzhan who was half-standing up and thinking, compared to the first meeting, he was not so far away, but there were still times when she felt that Yunzhan was unattainable, obviously it was in front of her, but she still felt that she couldn't touch it, why did she feel this way?
As soon as Yue Yi was standing, Yun Zhan called to her, "Awake?" At this time, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and the distance was shattered at once. He called Yueyi to sit down, and then said, "Two good news, do you want to hear it?" β
Yue replied while taking the food brought by Shi Hua: "Of course! β
A quarter of an hour ago, Yunzhan had received new news, and the dead had lived up to their expectations and brought back the whereabouts of Yicheng, which was not very certain, but it was worth a try. He looked at Yueyi, who had recovered his ruddy rest, and said, "The first is that Yicheng may have a broken temple on the outskirts of the city..."
Yueyi threw away the spoon in his hand, stood up and said, "Let's go!" Immediately. β
"Sit down first, there's another one." Yunzhan pressed Yueyi back to his seat, "The second one is that Shang Rui is awake and will be there in a while." β
"Huh? Back here? β
Yun Zhan nodded, and Yue Yi said, "Is the injury healed?" β
Yunzhan was helpless, "The little girl has to come back to see you, and her subordinates can't stop her, so..."
Also, no one can stop Shang Rui when he twists it, and he can't blame the innocent guards, Yue Yi said: "That..."
"Don't worry, I've already sent someone to bring the doctor over, and I'll cure Shang Rui here."
"Really!" Yunzhan is really omnipotent and considerate, Yueyi was very happy, gobbling up the food into his mouth, waiting for Shang Rui with his heart.
Sure enough, worthy of Yunzhan's right-hand men, Shang Rui had already arrived at the farmhouse courtyard. Yue Yi ran first, "Shang Rui! β
Shang Rui opened the curtain and saw that it was the real Yueyi, and she was happy as if she was not hurt, and jumped off the sedan chair first without waiting for the man in black to help her, and gave Yueyi a big hug head-on.
The two of them laughed at first, and then wept a moment later. Yueyi buried his head in Shang Rui's arms, didn't dare to raise his head, and said to himself: "Shang Rui, I'm sorry for you, I lost you, I shouldn't have quarreled with you, you are so good to me, but I treat you like that, I am so bad, I am not qualified to be your good friend." β
Shang Rui also cried, "Yes, you are bad, how can you lose me and Yicheng, you don't know that I almost can't see you, I almost..." Thinking of the disgusting red-clothed demon, she really had the heart to die at that time, how much a woman values innocence, that is the most precious thing that must be given to the most beloved man, Shang Rui only wants to give it to the senior brother. If tragedy happens, she has no shame to live.
Fortunately, fortunately, Lao Liu arrived in time.
Thinking of this, Shang Rui remembered what was going on and said to Yueyi, "I have something to tell you." β
The two sat down, and Yun Zhan naturally got up to give way, but it was only a stool apart, but Shang Rui said, "Trouble Yun Zhan, can you give our sisters some space to say something considerate?" I'm sorry. β
She said so, Yun Zhan shook her head and smiled and got up to leave, Yue Yi didn't understand, and asked Shang Rui, "What's wrong?" β
Shang Rui took Yueyi's hand and said, "After leaving this time, it seems that your relationship with him has become closer, and I have to remind you not to trust strangers too much." β
"But he's not a stranger."
This kind of disagreement is just like arguing about Lao Liu's affairs on the boat, Shang Rui took the initiative to admit his mistake, "About Lao Liu, I want to apologize to you, he is a good person, this time I can come out alive thanks to him, and he may still be tracking Yicheng after being taken away by Xinhan Old Demon, heβ’β’β’ really helped us a lot silently, about Xinhan Old Demon, I didn't tell you..."
Yueyi nodded again and again when she heard this, it turned out that Lao Liu had done so many things silently, she took out the letter left by Lao Liu, and said: "I got his letter in Cuihong Mansion before, so I know a little bit about it, if I meet him next time, I really have to thank him." β
Regarding the fact that Lao Liu is a demon, the two of them are not entangled too much, and the demons are also good and bad, as long as they are good, what is the identity and what does it matter?
Yueyi suddenly thought of something else, and said, "Why are you willful again, and you still have injuries on your body but don't heal them?" β
"This..." She opened her sleeve to show the wound, because of the delay of time, the blackening and pus were more serious, Yueyi exclaimed, stepped forward to wipe it, Shang Rui shook his head and said: "It's useless, I also tried to deal with it, but the source is not understood, and the black blood will continue to flow out." β
She smiled bitterly, and Yueyi comforted her, "It's okay, Yunzhan has already called the good doctor here, I will go to Yicheng with him in the afternoon, and you will stay in the farm yard for me to rest, don't be serious." β
"Yicheng, then I want to..."
"No way!" Yueyi insisted, Shang Rui couldn't see any signs of loosening on her face, so she had to accept it helplessly, but she said in a very serious tone again: "Yueyi, I can promise you the rest, but there is one thing you must take to heart this time." β
Moon nodded, "You say." β
"You can't trust everything about Yunzhan."
"Why, okay, listen to you."
The two finally finished speaking, Yunzhan also returned to his seat, and the afternoon itinerary was arranged. Originally, the matter of tracking Yicheng was very urgent, and it might be missed a little later, but Shang Rui's matter can't be let go, and if you want to catch it with both hands, one side will definitely miss, but fortunately, there is still Yunzhan.
"I had my people wait in the ruined temple on the outskirts of the city, and there was definitely a demon in the temple, because he couldn't get close, and I didn't know if there was a Yicheng next to him."
"Thank you."
Yun Zhan naturally wanted to grab her arm, saying that there was no need to be polite, but the movements in her hands were unintentionally dodged by Yueyi. Yueyi was unconscious at all, but Yunzhan withdrew his hand and secretly felt hurt for a while.
On the way to the broken temple, Yueyi was silent, and the two of them didn't say anything all the way, Yunzhan was afraid that Yueyi had something in his heart, and he hesitated to look at Shi Hua. Shi Hua, who has always been a transparent person, can finally have a name, but the task that the lord gave him to enliven the atmosphere is really not in line with his personality.
He "cough cough" twice and moved his throat, stepped forward to chat with Yue Yi, and said, "Yue Yi, I'm worried about you, are you okay?" β
Yun Zhan was speechless, let him say something clever, why did he go straight to the point as soon as he went up?
Yueyi replied with a normal expression: "I'm fine." β
That's right, how can I tell you about the situation of so many people around you, it's really stupid! Yun Zhan shook his head at Shi Hua in his heart, and he was also thinking about whether it was time for his right-hand man to be replaced?
Shi Hua's neck was cold but he didn't notice anything, and continued: "That's good, I'm afraid you won't be able to open it, if you're..."
Yun Zhan had no choice but to stop him, "Ahem, Shi Hua went to the back to see if there was anything abnormal." β
Shi Hua stood up on his horse and looked back, "Back?" There's nothing unusual in the back. β
"Let you go!"
As soon as Yunzhan said it, Shi Hua must abide by it.
In Yun Zhan's heart, he has always felt that she is more afraid than Yueyi crying, and she looks like she is nothing, so Shi Hua didn't play a role at all just now, and there is even a tendency to become more and more chaotic. The person who coaxed him well, how could he let him give... The more Yun Zhan thought about it, the more angry he became, and quietly applied gravity to Shi Hua's legs and feet.
How could Shi Hua have a master's martial arts, so he didn't know that his master was disgusted with him now, so he only wondered, "Why are you so tired today, your steps are so tired, and your mouth is so thirsty?" β
Fortunately, not far away, the group finally arrived at the outer circle of the broken temple on the outskirts of the city, and also joined the advance troops of Yunzhan. Yun Zhan still took out the demon compass and said: "I have found another place before, but I have been there to see, it has been a long time, and the traces have long disappeared, but fortunately, the demonic energy of the new place pointed to by this compass is still very strong and fresh, and we have a ninety percent chance of finding the demon." β
New Han Old Devil! There is Lao Liu and Yicheng's Xinhan Old Devil in his hands.
Because it was daytime at this time, the compass could not show bright light, but the violent shaking could be seen by the naked eye, and Yueyi looked up at the clouds and said, "Everything is at your command." β
Yun Zhan nodded, signaled downward with a finger, and the surrounding large troops set off from all directions, surrounded the broken temple tightly, and then set off with a small team of people and horses, entering the broken temple from the main gate, side windows, roofs, etc. This time, I brought enough good hands, and I don't have to worry about the lack of manpower. They went to fight a quick battle first, even if they couldn't solve it, they could at least find out the details, Yue Yi hated the outer wall blocking the view, unable to see the internal situation clearly, and walked on tiptoe.
At this time, a person approached, "What are you doing inside?" β
Yue Yi focused on the front and did not pay attention. She turned around sharply and saw the person coming clearly, "Uncle Gao! Why are you here? β
He was still honest and honest, scratching the back of his head and saying, "I'll just walk around and come to see the excitement." β
Just take a walk? Watching the excitement? Seeing this, Yue Yi had to shoot his suspicious eyes on him at this time, "Uncle Gao, what is your identity!" β
Yun Zhan had been standing beside Yue Yi, and he was also a little surprised by Uncle Gao who suddenly appeared, but he said indifferently: "Let's tell your true identity, otherwise I'm not welcome." β
Uncle Gao smiled, "Me? What identity do I have, I am just an ordinary person, I only came here because the brothers of Zhongyitang were suddenly sent away, I see that you don't know where you have been, and you have not come back for such a long time, I know that you are here in their clichΓ©, so I came to you. As he spoke, his fingers circled around him, referring to the men around him.
Because the subordinates of the Yunzhan Assassin Alliance were all far away, he could not immediately send a large number of people over, so he asked the people of the Fifty Assassin Alliance and a few hundred monks from the Zhongyi Hall to go on this mission together. The people of Zhongyitang don't know Yunzhan, they only know Shi Hua, and taking the task book is also part of their daily life, so they don't take this mission too much as a secret thing, so they have caused this situation today.
Yunzhan swept his sharp eyes on Shi Hua, Shi Hua knew that he had suffered this time, and he was willing to admit his guilt. He sincerely pleaded, "Lord, I didn't arrange this matter, I will definitely punish you when I go back..."
Yun Zhan was angry in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, and said: "Raise your head, hundreds of loyal and righteous monks around you are looking at it, you are their leader, pretend to be like me!" β
The words were slight, but the tone was stern, Shi Hua couldn't help but tremble twice, and if he wanted to cry without tears, he had to clean up the mess first. Regardless of what Uncle Gao was hiding for a while, Shi Hua arranged: "Trouble Lao Gao to retreat to a safe place first, I'm afraid that the movement will scare you for a while." β
"No, I just want to watch it here."
Shi Hua was extremely humble in front of Yunzhan and Yueyi, so he could only take out his anger at this ordinary person who had no internal strength, "Then I will directly use force to "invite" you away." β
Shi Hua was about to move seriously, and Uncle Gao rubbed his skin and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go." But he walked one step at a time and turned back three times, and he was reluctant to give up the excitement ahead.
Yue Yi had to admit Yun Zhan's foresight, "You're right, Uncle Gao must be weird, why is he like this?" β
"Don't worry about it yet, look ahead."
Yue Yi turned his head and saw that the battle ahead was urgent. The sound of violent fighting from inside the ruined temple had gradually weakened, and red smoke had risen between several holes in the roof.
