The old monk had just finished eating, just like us, a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun, because the small plate could only hold one steamed bun. He held the small tray and said with a smile: "The two of you sit down first, and I'll go wash the dishes." ”

It was embarrassing to me, we came over after eating, and the bowl was still there, and it was really a hotel. The old monk soon came back, sat on the pu mat, looked at me and said, "Recently, the government wanted to say that there is a thousand-year-old demon named Jiang Zhonghe, but the donor? ”

I looked at him a little flustered, "What do you want?" ”

The old monk smiled, "The donor smiled, but he just thinks that you have a relationship with the Buddha." ”

"Master doesn't want to persuade me to become a monk, does he?" I asked, although the monk did not persuade me to become a monk, he hoped that I could stay in the Eight Formations for the rest of my life and not come out to cause murder.

"No, poor monks never persuade people to become monks. It's just that I have two old friends, one named Wei Wuji and the other named Lei Ting, and the two of them will soon meet here to discuss whether to issue a demon hunting order to the crane in the river. The old monk said.

"Master, this is a misunderstanding, I didn't kill them." I say.

"So, when the poor monk intercedes for you and finds out the truth, I wonder if you agree?" The old monk said.

I stood up and clenched my fists and said, "Then there is Master Lao, I don't want to entangle with them, it's better to be clear." ”

"At that time, I hope that the donor will be calm, Thunder has a violent personality, and he is still the head of the Dao Sect, if he issues a demon hunting order to you, it will be troublesome in the future, and the various sects will do everything possible to hunt you. The person who died in Xining is his own grandson, and he will inevitably be excited, and I hope you can restrain yourself when the time comes. ”

I nodded, but Ling'er's face was full of worry, and she looked like she wanted to pull me away immediately. I told the real situation, and the old monk listened very carefully, "I believe what you said, in addition to the truth, all sects and factions also want to save face, if they ask you to go back to investigate, is the donor willing?" ”

"I don't want to." I said firmly. "Today, I was framed, and I was asked to prove my innocence, and I traveled all the way to explain to them. In the future, others will casually frame me, and they will prove their innocence, to be honest, I still have a lot to do, and I don't have time to entangle with them. ”

"If you are in the red dust, you must know the rules of the game, otherwise it will be difficult to survive." The old monk patiently persuaded.

"I think that those who have learned the Tao should go to hoe and eliminate evil, instead of relying on the large number of people every day and making some unreasonable demands, saying that if I kill someone, there must be evidence."

"Donor, with all due respect, for thousands of years, whether it is Qimen miscellaneous arts, or Taoism, Buddhism and martial arts, which sect has been desperate for chivalry and righteousness? The world has its own way of the world, in this world, after all, you still have to rely on yourself, cultivating Buddhism and cultivating the Tao is also a personal creation, and you can't force anyone to preside over justice. But the donor doesn't have to be discouraged, whenever the evil way is rampant, there will always be heroes among the heroes. ”

What the old monk said was very unBuddhist, and the flavor of the rivers and lakes was very strong, but it was a wise saying, and in the final analysis, it was all mixed up.

"Master, I think it's better to let it be, and make senseless explanations with them, I have more important things to do." I said.

"If the donor is not in a hurry, just wait for two days."

"To tell you the truth, I was just besieged by the people of the Longmen faction, in case the time comes, I am afraid of disturbing the peace of Buddhism."

"Don't worry, as a mediator, I won't let you fight here, if you really can't mediate, then the poor monk can't do anything." The old monk smiled.

This old monk seems to have some ability, he said it so easily, if I remember correctly, then what Wei Wuji should be Wei Datong's grandfather or great-grandfather, it seems that he is a hundred or dozens of years old, I don't know if the old monk can stop it, as for the thunder, I don't know much about it, it seems to be the head of the mixed yuan faction, it should be about the same age as Wei Qingshan, and he is Bai Zongyao's master.

I hope Zhang Peng will come soon, don't Wei Qingshan and his disciples rush over at that time, it's really not good, just flee when the time comes. If I saw that the old man rowing last night was Wei Wuji, then he should have come to meet with the thunder, and the head of the house came out, even the master of the Dragon Gate came out, it seems that this matter is a big problem.

Xiong Qiling, this dog mongrel, has pitted me to death, next time I will see how I kill him.

We went back to the room to rest, the dishes and chopsticks had been taken away, Ling'er checked my wounds, and I recited the Nirvana Sutra.

The next afternoon, a familiar voice came from outside the door, and Ling'er hurriedly sat up and said, "Bai Zongyao is here." ”

"You know his voice very well!" I said angrily.

She glanced at me and ignored me, but went to the door, looked outside, and I also leaned over, Bai Zongyao stood behind a long-bearded Taoist, and the two were greeting the old monk, who was about sixty years old, already bald, tall, and holding a crutch, this crutch is very similar to that Lei Ling's, it should be the same.

These guys are hundreds of years old combined, paralyzed, and it's shameless to join forces to beat me up as a nineteen-year-old child.

"Wei Wuji won't be there until tomorrow." The old monk said.

"He sent me a message with a paper crane, saying that he rowed a small boat down the Qu River the night before and saw a flying demon, very similar to the crane in the river, and the direction was towards the White Emperor City." Thunder said.

"Can fly?" The old monk asked with a frown.

"That's right, old monk, you have lived longer than me, and you have seen such a demon? Wei Wuji said that if it really doesn't work, we have to ask Master Zu to show up and deal with it. Thunder asked.

The old monk smiled: "This is a bit of a big move, there is no danger of extinction, there is no need for this." I remember that except for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, the ancestor of the Eight Sects appeared once and reblessed the Seven Star Dragon Yuan Sword to seal the demons, and there was no such thing after that. ”

"It's said that it's a thousand-year-old demon, let's see." Thunder said.

The old monk did not betray me, but invited Lei Ting into the house, and Ling'er and I secretly ran to the edge of the white dragon pool and went around to the outside of the old monk's house.

"Master Lei, what are you going to do about this incident? Is there a possibility of mediation? The old monk asked.

"Although my grandson is stubborn, his sin will not lead to death, and I must avenge this revenge." Thunder said.

"Has the matter been investigated?" Old monk

"There is no way to investigate, the corpses have been disposed of, and the soul cannot be found, he killed two disciples of Longmen in Chengdu, and hung the corpses on the hotel for display, the local police are wanted by him, there should be no mistake, such a bad behavior, must be punished." Thunder said.

"With all due respect, the official version is not credible this year." The old monk said.

"Let's arrest it first, there is also a Xiong Qiling who is also a suspect, I have already sent someone to find him at home, and I will confront him face to face when the time comes. Anyway, this Jiang Zhonghe is a demon, and he can't be wrong, and the head of Wei has already fought with him. Thunder said.

"I have done things with Jiang Zhonghe, his spells are indeed evil, he killed seventeen people at a time in Qinghai, it only took a few seconds, Xiong Qiling and I saw with our own eyes, there is no falsehood. However, this person is not ruthless, he is righteous. Bai Zongyao said.

"You and Xiong Qiling are fellow countrymen, how is he?" Thunder asked.

"We grew up together, although he is a bit of a city, but his ability is not enough to kill the people of the Dragon Sect!" Bai Zongyao said.

"Killed seventeen people at once?" The old monk asked.

"Yes, of course he is here to save his life, those people are horse bandits, and they are ready to shoot them."

"That's too ruthless, isn't his magic weapon out of control?" The old monk said softly.

"That's right, bloodthirsty!"

I'm grass, this old monk won't fall to their side, I wanted to push open the door and go in to explain, but I was caught by Ling'er. We retreated to the room, and she said that I should hide in the room and not go out, the old monk could see my true identity, and the thunder might be able to see it, and she would ask Bai Zongyao to go out and talk to her in person at night.

"I'll go too." I say.

"You're not comfortable with me?" Ling'er asked.

"Just kidding, go ahead, go ahead!" I said generously.

"It's up to you, just hide and don't come out." Ling'er said.

In the evening, when we had fasting, Ling'er handed a note to the little monk and asked him to hand it to Bai Zongyao. We sneaked out of the temple and reached the city wall at the foot of the mountain, while I hid in the woods at the foot of the nearby mountain and eavesdropped, and I followed under the pretext of protecting Ling'er's safety.

Bai Zongyao really came, he ran quite fast, and it seemed that he was still thinking about my family's Ling'er. He saw that Liu Ling was very excited and smiled happily, Ling'er had recovered her true appearance, with the Red Buddha Relic, her complexion was more ruddy than before, and she was as beautiful as a fairy.

"Miss Liu, why are you here?" Bai Zongyao asked.

"I'm going back to Shanghai and I'm going to take a boat here." Liu Ling replied.

"The night view here is beautiful, why don't we take a walk!" After Bai Zongyao finished speaking, he looked around, probably suspecting that I was on the side. "Are you still with that crane in the river?"

"Yes." Ling'er replied, returning to her previous stiff and indifferent appearance.

"He's dangerous right now, and I'd suggest you stay away from him."

Ling'er turned to look at the surging river, and said without looking back: "I have decided to live and die with him." ”

She said it very resolutely, although I was very moved, but this girl is too stupid, Bai Zongyao likes her so much, in case this guy has a small heart and takes the opportunity to hack me, isn't it really impossible to mediate?

"What? You...... Do you really like him? Bai Zongyao asked in disbelief, looking unconvinced!

In his heart as a hypocrite, I am a shameless villain, Ling'er is such a stunning beauty, how can she like a shameless villain like me?

"Yes." Ling'er replied.

"What about the others?" Bai Zongyao looked around.

I hurriedly lay down in the grass, and Ling'er told the situation from the beginning, Bai Zongyao and Xiong Qiling are fellow villagers and grew up together.

"I don't believe Xiong Qiling's mana has improved by leaps and bounds, I'll talk about it when I see him. As for the issue of mediation, it is not for me to decide, it depends on my master's thoughts, he is a grandson. ”

"But you can't wronged anyone!" Ling'er said.

"It's windy by the river, rest early."

After Bai Zongyao finished speaking, he left in disappointment, and he didn't walk with his head held high like before. After he is a famous general, he is handsome and devoted, and he always has an inexplicable sense of superiority, at least compared to the Xiong family and the Li Nu family.

Now his sense of loss is not only because Xiao Ling'er is good with me, but also because Xiong Qiling is so powerful now, he must feel threatened, but fortunately he has the Mixed Yuan faction as a backer, but I am afraid that in the future, I will never be able to treat Xiong Qiling as a junior brother like before.
