Chapter Seventy-Four: Yaowang Temple
Next, the Huashan faction was busy for the upcoming trip to Fuzhou, and when everything was arranged, they left Huashan under the leadership of Yue Buqun.
The first few days were fine, and now the status of the Huashan faction in Guanzhong has recovered a lot, so the towns along the way can also be received, and many local big families will set up banquets and banquets, and send ceremonies, along the way, the Huashan faction did not spend a penny, but there were thousands of taels of silver entangled, such a thing Shen Chengping had not experienced before, only Yue Buqun's eyes slightly showed a look of nostalgia.
It's just that every time you get to a place, you need to delay for a long time, which inevitably slows down the progress of the rush, Yue Buqun feels that it is really a delay in time to go on like this, and after thinking about it, he changed the way of hurrying, and rushed all the way, trying to enter the town as little as possible, so that the speed of everyone's progress has accelerated a lot.
On this day, Huashan sent everyone to dusk, so they wanted to find a place to rest in advance, at this time, Liang Fa, who was exploring the road in front, said: "Master, I just looked and saw a temple in the woods in front of us, let's go over and spend the night?" ”
Ning Zhong said: "It's just that we still have female dependents here, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient." ”
Yue Buqun said: "Fa'er, you go over and ask, if the monk in the temple refuses, then that's it, don't force it." ”
Liang Fa responded and rushed away. After a short time, he ran back and shouted from afar: "Master, it is a ruined temple, and there are no monks." ”
Yue Buqun had no doubts when he heard this, and at this time the sky had changed, and the dark clouds on the eastern horizon were about to come up layer by layer, and in an instant the sky was already dark, and seeing that it was about to rain, everyone hurriedly sped up.
Everyone walked into the main hall, and saw that the hall was offered a blue-faced statue, covered with leaves, holding withered grass, it was the Shennong's medicine king Bodhisattva who tasted a hundred herbs, it turned out that this was a medicine king temple. After Yue Buqun entered the temple, he first led all the disciples to salute the statue of the gods, and cleaned the temple simply.
The broken temple was leaking everywhere, Shen Chengping took a few disciples to find some hay in the temple to plug some of the smaller holes in the temple, and everyone gathered to rest in a place where there was no rain here, and several disciples on duty also began to light a fire to cook.
When everyone sat down to rest, Ning Zhong said: "The spring thunder sounded so early this year, I'm afraid that the new year will not be good." ”
"Not only is the year not good, but the turmoil on the rivers and lakes is not small. The rain is so heavy that I will keep vigil! At this time, Shen Chengping remembered that the original plot of the Zhonghua Mountain Sect had been attacked in a broken temple, and it happened to be raining heavily at that time, so he was a little more vigilant in his heart.
Yue Buqun and Ning Zhong knew that Shen Chengping's words were cautious, on a rainy night, it was already difficult to deal with, and if the enemy attacked, it would be even more dangerous. Therefore, they nodded and instructed all the disciples to be careful, gather together according to the combined attack formation that they practiced on weekdays, and not leave their weapons.
After dinner, they went to bed. The rain was loud and small, and it never stopped. Even so, the people of Huashan have been traveling for days and days but they are also very tired, and after a while, the snorting sound on the hall has come and gone, and everyone has fallen asleep.
Shen Chengping did not sleep, but sat cross-legged on the ground and kept vigil for everyone. In the middle of the exercise, I suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves from the southeast, and about ten horsemen galloped along the avenue. He felt a pang in his heart: In the dark night, how could someone run in the rain? Could it be that these people are here to attack the Huashan faction?
He sat up, and seeing that Yue Buqun had already gotten up, he was waking up his disciple in a low voice, shouting, "Don't make a noise, everyone. "He was very skillful, and he was always alert, and he heard the sound of horses' hooves.
After a short time, all the people of the Huashan faction had woken up, and each of them pressed the hilt of their swords to defend against the enemy. Unexpectedly, the sound of horses' hooves crossed the temple and gradually faded away. The crowd breathed a sigh of relief and were about to lie down and rest again, but they heard the sound of horses' hooves turning around again. More than ten rode horses to the outside of the temple and stopped together. I could only hear a clear voice shouting, "Is Mr. Huashan Pai Yue in the temple?" Let's ask for something. ”
Shen Chengping is the eldest disciple of the Huashan faction, and he will naturally come forward at this time, he knows that most of the people who come are the ones who come to attack, and he does not open the temple door, but just transmits his voice far away: "In the middle of the night, which way is a friend visiting?" ”
When the people outside the temple saw that no one opened the door inside, they crackled and smashed it open, and with the sudden loud sound of wind and rain, several people broke into the temple from the outside.
When the people of Huashan saw this situation, they knew that most of the people who came were not good, so they were on guard with their swords. looked over, but saw a total of fifteen horsemen and horses outside the temple, six or seven of them carrying Kong Ming lanterns in their hands, and they all shone inside.
By the light of the fire, the people in Huashan also saw the clothes of the people who came, these people all wore black cloth covers on their heads, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and their hearts moved: Are these people either acquaintances with us, or afraid of remembering their appearances for us? And this act is by no means benevolent, knowing that there will probably be a fierce battle tonight, and my heart is even more vigilant.
I only heard the person on the left on the opposite side say: "Please Mr. Yue Buqun Yue to come out." ”
Seeing this, Shen Chengping asked, "Who is Your Excellency?" Please tell me your name so that you can report to the commander of the school. ”
The man didn't know Shen Chengping, but said, "Who are we, you don't have to ask." You go and tell your master that I heard that the Huashan faction has obtained the "Sword Spectrum to Ward Off Evil Spirits" of the Fuwei Dart Bureau, and I want to borrow it for a look. ”
Shen Chengping's heart sank, and he said: "The Huashan faction has its own martial arts, what is the use of asking for other people's sword scores?" Your Excellency is so vexatious, do you still take the Huashan faction in your eyes? ”
The man laughed, and the other fourteen people also laughed, the laughter spread far away from the wilderness, the voice was loud, obviously everyone was not weak in internal strength, and they all reached the first-class level, these people got together, and they were also an extremely powerful force in the rivers and lakes, that is, the current Huashan faction, except for Yue Buqun, Ning Zhongze, Shen Chengping, Ling Hu Chong and Yuan Zilin, most of the other inner disciples are at the second-rate level, so it is even more shocking.
In the midst of the laughter of the fifteen people, one of them said loudly: "I heard that the kid surnamed Lin of the Fuwei Dart Bureau has joined the Huashan faction. Mr. Jianyue, a gentleman of the Su Yang Huashan faction, has magical swordsmanship and is a lone member of the martial arts, and he is not worth caring about the "Sword Spectrum to Ward Off Evil Spirits". We are nobodies on the rivers and lakes, and we dare to ask Mr. Yue to give us a look. ”
When Shen Chengping heard this, he knew that these fifteen people were just looking for trouble on the grounds that Lin Pingzhi had entered Huashan. However, the voice of this person was still clear and loud in the laughter of the fourteen people, and it was not covered by the noise, which showed that the internal strength was better than the rest of the people, among the people of the Huashan faction, I am afraid that only Yue Buqun and Shen Chengping's skills can surpass him, and the others are inferior to him even if they are Ning Zhongze's skills.
