Chapter 60: Sun Hemp
"I grew up in a mountain village, and there were only three people in the family, me and my parents, both of whom made a living from farming." Wu Zhiyuan briefly described his family situation, he was a little afraid that Moon Shadow Fuxian would dislike his status as a poor peasant.
"Is your mom and dad good to you?" Moon Shadow Fuxian glared at Wu Zhiyuan with curious eyes, "It's very good to me, they love me since I was a child." Wu Zhiyuan nodded firmly.
Moon Shadow Fuxian's eyes showed a look of envy, when she was still in infancy, she was abandoned on the shore of Fuxian Lake, she had never seen her parents, and subconsciously hoped that she would also have the love of her parents, so she knew that Wu Zhiyuan's father and mother were alive, and she was envious in her heart.
"But I sneaked out this time, and I haven't gone back yet, so they must be worried." Wu Zhiyuan let out a long sigh with a sad expression.
"Aren't we going back, it's not too early, let's go, we may be able to find a place to stay before sunset." Moon Shadow Fuxian understood Wu Zhiyuan's mood, took his hand and walked forward.
The two of them ran their vitality for a ride, and Wu Zhiyuan's vitality cultivation was far inferior to that of the Moon Shadow Fuxian, so all the way the Moon Shadow Fuxian was waiting for him, stopping and stopping, the two finally found a broken temple at dusk.
This era was not long after the end of the Manchu Dynasty and the beginning of the establishment of the Republic of China, so many Taoist temples were affected by this political change, and it was difficult to take care of themselves economically.
A large part of the courtyard wall has fallen, the gatehouse has long been gone, only the main hall can still shelter from the wind and rain, a dilapidated scene of ruins and broken walls.
Wu Zhiyuan took the hand of the Moon Shadow Fuxian and walked through the courtyard into the main hall, several cases in the hall were broken, and the Buddha statue in the north fell to the side. Seeing the crooked Buddha statue, Wu Zhiyuan remembered that he still had a large amount of gold and silver jewelry hidden in the Buddha statue in the broken temple in the southern suburbs of Qingdao, and secretly thought that he would take it all back next time he had the opportunity to honor his parents.
Although it is a little dilapidated, it is very lucky that it is not enough to sleep in the open air on this mountain road where there is no village in front of the village and no shops in the back. Wu Zhiyuan put down a wooden plank, blew the dust on it, and let the Moon Shadow Fuxian sit down to rest, and he planned to go outside to find some dry branches to make a fire to keep warm.
At this moment, several heavy footsteps sounded outside, and the rhythm of the sound was chaotic, and it could be heard that people were very anxious. This wilderness is uninhabited, and now it is dusk, how can people appear outside this ruined temple?
Moon Shadow Fu Immortal stood up suddenly, Wu Zhiyuan also looked outside vigilantly, only to hear the footsteps getting closer and closer, a black shadow stepped over the collapsed wall, and a stumbling almost tripped, he stabilized his body and ran towards the temple in a panic.
Wu Zhiyuan blocked the Moon Shadow Fuxian behind him, although his cultivation was far inferior to the Moon Shadow Fuxian, and the kung fu tricks were far from the same, but this was just a subconscious move to protect the beloved woman, the Moon Shadow Fuxian was extremely useful, and gently grabbed his arm and leaned behind him.
The man walked to the door, and by the last light of the sunset, Wu Zhiyuan saw the face of the person who came, only to see that his face was dark and thin, his cheekbones were prominent, his face was pockmarked, his body was thin, his eyes were both frightened and panicked, but he projected a fine light, his left hand covered his chest, and blood continued to flow out between his fingers, dripping on the ground.
At the same time, the man also saw Wu Zhiyuan and Moon Shadow Fuxian in the temple, and a look of surprise flashed on his face, but it was fleeting, and he hesitated a little, then rushed into the hall, and hurriedly glanced around, as if looking for something.
Wu Zhiyuan and Moon Shadow Fuxian looked at this person's strange behavior, and they were puzzled. I saw that his gaze finally fell on the crooked Buddha statue due north, and rushed over in three steps and two steps. The Buddha statue is hollow, and the man drilled his thin body into the Buddha statue, just hiding his figure, and his body suddenly exerted force, and the Buddha statue stood up, sitting in the north of the main hall as if it had never been crooked.
is smart and witty, in the case of an emergency, it is difficult for ordinary people to think of this exquisite hiding method, Wu Zhiyuan can't help but secretly admire.
Moon Shadow Fuxian and Wu Zhiyuan glanced at each other, lowered their voices and said, "This person may be being hunted down, and the person who is chasing him should arrive later." ”
Wu Zhiyuan also thought so, and nodded lightly at her when he heard the words.
Sure enough, it was only ten seconds before the person hid his body, and there was a sound of footsteps outside, which was even more rapid and messy, and according to the sound, there were at least five or more people.
In the blink of an eye, these people came to the gate of the temple, the first person was holding a machete, and when he saw Wu Zhiyuan and Moon Shadow Fuxian, he flashed a trace of astonishment, and the rest of the people were about seven or eight, more than expected, without exception, they were all armed with knives and sticks.
"Did you see Sun Hemp running in?" The leader pointed the machete in his hand at Wu Zhiyuan and asked unceremoniously.
"Sun Hemp?" Wu Zhiyuan pretended to be stunned and asked rhetorically, and at the same time secretly thought in his heart that the person who hid in the Buddha statue was also pockmarked, and this grandson thought that it was him.
"That guy has a pockmarked face and is seriously injured, did you see him?" The man at the head asked.
"Hmph, is this your attitude of asking others? Whether we see it or not, we won't tell anyone who is rude. Moon Shadow Fuxian flashed out from behind Wu Zhiyuan and said arrogantly.
The muscles in the corners of the man's eyes twitched a few times, obviously extremely angry, he suppressed his anger, clasped his hands into fists, and said in a soothing tone: "I'm sorry, Feng Tiande of Baolin Hall is below, he was ordered to arrest Sun Haozi, just now because he was on official business, so he was a little anxious, I hope the two of you don't blame, please tell me the whereabouts of Sun Haozi, Baolin Tang will definitely remember this kindness, and if there is any trouble in the rivers and lakes in the future, our Baolin Tang will definitely help!" ”
"Baolin Hall, the entrance of Hongmen?" Moon Shadow Fuxian asked.
"Yes, it seems that this girl still knows about our Baolin Hall, in that case, you can tell us Sun Haozi's whereabouts, so as not to hurt the harmony." Feng Tiande raised his eyebrows, and his arrogant appearance had far surpassed that of the Moon Shadow Fuxian.
Wu Zhiyuan was furious, this Feng Tiande was obviously using Baolin Hall to threaten him and Moon Shadow Fuxian, but when he thought that the other party was so powerful and had a weapon in his hand, he forcibly suppressed his anger and replied coldly: "We also just came here, I didn't see what you said, whether you are going to leave you for your own convenience, we will not accompany you." ”
As he spoke, Wu Zhiyuan pulled the Moon Shadow Fuxian to sit down on the wooden board, opened the baggage, took out the dry food and handed it to the Moon Shadow Fuxian, and the two of them ate.
Feng Tiande looked at Wu Zhiyuan and Moon Shadow Fuxian suspiciously, glanced around the main hall, and saw that there was no place for anyone to hide, so he said the word "go" to his subordinates, and turned around to walk out of the main hall.
At this moment, Feng Tiande suddenly found a few drops of blood on the ground, bent down and wiped it with his fingers, took a closer look in front of his eyes, and found that the blood stains had not dried, and his eyes suddenly lit up!
"Wait! You guys are searching all over the hall, and don't let go of even a corner! ”
