On the official road, an old man and a young man walked on the long bluestone road one after the other.

At this time, it has been about three days since he left the area of the Iron Sword Gate, and in the past few days, the two of them have been sleeping in the open air, and Yu Lao is happy to be idle, as he said, he has been like this for most of his life, and there is nothing uncomfortable, but he feels very comfortable.

But this is bitter Ye Liancheng, he has suffered this, walking on the official road is uninhabited everywhere, and his mouth is about to fade out of the bird.

He looked at Yu Lao, who grabbed an unknown insect and threw it into his mouth, Ye Liancheng pursed his lips and withdrew his gaze, forget it, this old thing will lose his appetite when he looks at it.

"Hehe, do you want one too? Yu Lao, who smashed his mouth, asked Ye Liancheng, as if he was eating some kind of delicacies in his mouth, and his face was full of aftertaste.

"Don't just don't, even if I, Ye Liancheng, starve to death, I won't eat a bite of your worm if I jump down from here!" Ye Liancheng said firmly, if you really eat this thing, you must not spit out the dinner the day before yesterday.

"Hehe, you're still young, you know a fart. Yu Lao smiled lewdly, and found that there were no more insects on the ground, so he continued to hurry.

"It's big. Ye Liancheng pointed to the middle of his crotch and said, while Yu Lao scoffed.

I don't know how long it took, but the morning sun gradually became scorching.

This didn't have much impact on Ye Liancheng, a monk who built the foundation realm, but after so many days, Yu Lao, who promised to hand him over the sword, didn't move, which made him feel a little irritable in his heart, after all, every day was very precious to him.

"Old Yu, when will you teach me to practice the sword?" Ye Liancheng couldn't help but ask the tireless Old Yu in front of him.

"When the time comes, I will teach you. Still the same answer as last time, Ye Liancheng couldn't help but sigh.

The day, which had been bright at noon, suddenly became cloudy, and the visibility around it became very low, and there was a faint sound of thunder in the sky.

It seemed that there was going to be a heavy rain, Ye Liancheng skillfully took out the cloak and hat from the space ring, put them on, and continued to follow Yu Lao.

Seeing that Yu Lao didn't make any moves, Ye Liancheng thought that this was the demeanor of a master, and maybe it would drip around Yu Lao when the rain fell later, so he didn't hand over the extra clothes and hats in the space ring to Yu Lao.

Sure enough, the face of this old man changed as soon as he said it, and with a thunderclap, the rain that had been accumulated in the sky for a long time began to charge downwards like a soldier who had received an order.

The bean-sized rain sloped down like a waterfall, crackling on the ground, and greatly affected sight and hearing.

In this case, the oil-paper umbrella is no longer used, and Ye Liancheng, who was wearing a cloak and a hat, felt that the rain began to drill into his clothes through the lily clothes after a while, but Ye Liancheng didn't care about these at all, and looked at Yu Lao in front of him, can he see the magical powers of a powerful monk?

I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, after the rain poured down, the original vigorous Yu Lao was like a chicken in soup, his hair was soaked by the rain, and his clothes were also attached to his thin body, swaying in the rain, as if he was going to drive the crane west in the next second.

Is this the legendary master's demeanor? Ye Liancheng was dumbfounded, isn't this just a bad old man?

"Ahem, apprentice, do you have any extra clothes and hats?" Yu Lao shivered coldly, and asked Ye Liancheng with a bewildered face.

Ye Liancheng was scolded, but looking at Yu Lao's appearance, he still took out the extra set of clothes and hats from the space ring and quickly handed it to Yu Lao.

After putting on the coat and hat, Yu Lao felt much more comfortable, jumped up and slapped Ye Liancheng's head.

"Damn, I thought you didn't have it, why didn't you take it out earlier, it would rain for the teacher. Yu Lao pointed at Ye Liancheng and said with a slashing face.

After suffering a chestnut, Ye Liancheng was inevitably a little angry in his heart, but he explained: "I thought you were some kind of master, the kind of peerless master who has to avoid you when you see the rain." ”

When Yu Lao heard this, his eyes rolled around, and after coughing twice, Zhengse said: "Think about it back then, what is this little rain, as long as I punch the sky, this rain will not be poured back into the sky." ”

If it weren't for the fact that he had just seen this old man drenched in the rain, Ye Liancheng would have almost believed it, but now, looking at Yu Lao's eyes, he couldn't help but reveal three points of coldness, three points of carelessness and a point of disdain.

Seeing Ye Liancheng's expression of looking at a fool, Yu Laoxiao's temper came up, and he threw a punch at the sky.

A punch came out, lightning flashed and thundered, and a thunderbolt struck, Ye Liancheng's eyes were full of shock, is this the real strength of this old man?

How do you know that Yu Lao said in a panic: "Why are you stunned, don't you run, don't you see thunder?"

After speaking, Yu Lao left Ye Liancheng behind, and ran away from the official road and ran into the distance alone.

Ye Liancheng came back to his senses, and sure enough, a thunderbolt had just fallen, directly splitting a surrounding tree into charcoal.

Glancing at the direction in which Yu Lao ran away, Ye Liancheng tiptoed to the tree that had just been struck by lightning.

Blessed by the old gentleman, my Ye Liancheng hasn't broken yet, so I can't be killed by lightning like this. Ye Liancheng, who was silently reciting the mantra in his heart, quickly picked up a few charcoal slivers split by thunder and lightning, and then quickly escaped from this place with Yu Lao.

Fortunately, there are not many trees in this vicinity, which is somewhat similar to the plains, which makes Ye Liancheng and Yu Lao reduce the possibility of being directly struck by lightning.

"Old Yu, why don't you continue walking along the official road?" Ye Liancheng shouted loudly, otherwise the old man would not be able to hear it in this rain curtain.

Clearing his throat, Yu Lao also replied loudly: "You are not stupid, you will have to walk for at least a day and a night along the official road to reach the city, it is better to find a village or temple outside here." ”

Although he was very unhappy in his heart, Ye Liancheng couldn't find any reason to refute it, so he continued to follow Yu Lao.

I don't know if Yu Lao is familiar with the surrounding environment, or if he is lucky, the two of them walked forward in the heavy rain for about half an hour before finding a dilapidated temple.

The temple has been around for some years, and Ye Liancheng and Yu Lao didn't care so much, and after seeing this broken temple, they rushed in.

After entering, Ye Liancheng took off the robe and hat, shook the rain on it roughly, and then set it on the wooden table in the temple.

It's really strange, why is there a wooden table in the temple? Ye Liancheng glanced around, and found that this broken temple was very small, and there was a broken stone statue enshrined in the middle, and his head didn't know where to go, and his body was also very weathered, and Ye Liancheng couldn't recognize that this was the big Buddha enshrined at all.

The stone statue is about two meters high, and there are two futons and a merit box in front of the stone statue.

Ye Liancheng pulled the futon over and made it up, finally being able to rest for a while.

And after Yu Lao entered the broken temple, his eyes stayed on the merit box, and his eyes lit up as if he had seen a treasure.

"Ahem, apprentice, haven't you been yelling to practice the knife before?" Yu Lao didn't take off his clothes, rubbing his hands and walking towards Ye Liancheng.

Ye Liancheng shook his head and put the charcoal he had picked up on the ground, "I don't want to practice now." ”

"Hey, it's not proper, how can you practice if you want to, and if you don't practice, you won't practice?" Yu Lao looked excited, and the rain drops on his coat fell on the floor.

Ye Liancheng found a pinch of dry straw and wood from the foot of the temple, and after piling these together with charcoal, Ye Liancheng released a soul fire to ignite the pile.

At first, the damp charcoal only emitted a little green smoke and then stopped moving, but then the fire of the soul was still dispelled by the burning soul and began to burn.

A fire lit up in the small temple, bringing a touch of warmth to Ye Liancheng and the others.

"What are you doing, just say what's going on. Ye Liancheng glanced at Yu Lao, who was staying by his side with a wicked smile on his face.

Yu Lao smiled and said, "Apprentice, don't you want to make a little money?"

Ye Liancheng knew that this bad old man had put his mind on the merit box that had not yet been destroyed.

But he still shook his head, "I don't do it, I'm not short of money, besides, aren't you afraid of any karma if you do this thing?"

Yu Lao's face was strange, he didn't expect that Ye Liancheng, this kid, had guessed his mind early on, and he continued to say step by step: "Disciple, I took the money, how can cause and effect make you carry it? ”

Ye Liancheng had already reached out on the fire and started to warm up, not willing to accept the suggestion of the bad old man's lack of morality.

Seeing Ye Liancheng's soft and hard appearance, Yu Lao sighed, and could only use the killer weapon, "Apprentice, as long as you help the master get things done today, I will start teaching you how to use a knife early tomorrow morning." ”

Ye Liancheng was waiting for this sentence, and his eyes lit up, and he raised his head and asked, "Really?"

"Seriously!"

"You swear by the way of heaven. ”

"This..."

"Otherwise, don't talk about it. ”

After some negotiations, Ye Liancheng gained the upper hand, and let Yu Lao swear by the way of heaven as he wished, so that he would not be afraid of his repentance.

Reluctantly withdrawing his hand from the fire, Ye Liancheng got up and came to the front of the merit box.

The vermilion rectangular wooden box is engraved with two large characters of 'merit', and there is a small opening on it, which is used by pilgrims to throw coins and the like, and it is estimated that there is a small locked door behind it, and before the temple is not broken, it is estimated that monks come to take these incense money every day.

Ye Liancheng picked up the black knife, pursed his lips, and slandered in his heart, he didn't know which tendon was wrong for this bad old man, and he wanted to make money from this merit box.

No matter how stupid the monks in the temple are, they will not be so stupid as not to take the coins in the merit box with them before leaving.

If there is still money in it today, I, Ye Liancheng, will eat this merit box on the spot.

Thinking like this, Ye Liancheng raised the black knife and slashed down unpretentiously, and the merit box with no known texture was divided into two halves like a tofu block.

The two of them looked at the merit box at the same time, and what made Ye Liancheng stunned was that the merit box that was divided into two halves actually flowed out of the cracks with many copper coins and silver tickets.

I guess it was already full of a large box before.

Hey, this is wrong, it's a fool not to take the money, Ye Liancheng frowned, and left behind the words he had just said in his heart.
