Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Blank Month
Beiliang Temple.
"Quick, work hard, it's coming soon."
Outside Beiliang Temple, a group of people hurried up the mountain.
"Donors, I don't know what happened to Beiliang Temple?"
At the gate of Beiliang Temple, the two monks guarding the door stopped the sweaty crowd.
The leader took two breaths and said, "Little master, I bother you to inform me, we are people from Nanshan Lake and Purple Leaf Villa, and I want to see Master Kongxuan." ”
"Please wait here, I'll come when I go."
After a while, the little monk ran to the door and shouted, "Everyone, please come with me." ”
Outside the main hall, Kong Xuan slowly walked out, looked at everyone and said, "Amitabha, I don't know what you are doing?" ”
The middle-aged man led by him hurriedly knelt down in front of Kong Xuan.
"Master, help, Master."
Kong Xuan quickly stepped forward, pulled up the middle-aged man and asked, "Donor, please hurry up, you don't have to be like this, and tell me carefully, what's going on?" ”
"We have Nanshan Lake, there are monsters to haunt us, the Purple Leaf Villa is not peaceful, more than a dozen people have died, master, help!"
Kong Xuan laughed after hearing this: "Monster? Lao Ge never believed that there were monsters in this world in his life, presumably thieves were responsible. ”
"Huh? Was it a thief? ”
The middle-aged man looked puzzled.
"Xuming, you take the void spirit and Dezhao, well~ bring Deqing again, and the four of you will go with this benefactor."
"Yes, Master."
"Yes."
"Yes."
Kong Xuan looked at the front of him and frowned: "The void spirit is lazy again?" Dezhao, you go under the tree and pick him up! ”
Under the big tree, the void spirit was sleeping soundly in the shade of the tree, and suddenly, someone pulled his ear.
"Ouch, ouch, what's wrong?"
"Uncle Shi, the ancestor told you, hurry up."
Turning around, looking at so many people outside the main hall, the void spirit felt a chill in his heart,, what is going on, this is miserable, and hurriedly ran over with Dezhao.
"Master, Master, the apprentice was just meditating under the tree when he suddenly fainted from heat stroke."
"Talking nonsense every day, I let Xuming and Deqing deal with things, you and Dezhao follow to go through the experience, hurry up and pack up your things, and I'll clean you up when you come back!"
"What? Can I go down? That's great! ”
Kong Xuan helplessly looked at the void spirit who got up and ran out in an instant, turned around and said: "Xuming, Deqing, you two are strong in martial arts, take good care of them, don't be impatient in doing things, don't make mistakes." ”
The two said in unison: "Follow Master's teachings." ”
Outside Beiliang Temple.
"Masters, the horses are ready, just down the mountain, please come with me."
Void Spirit and Dezhao can't wait, this is the first time they have come down the mountain, and you will run down the mountain after me.
At the foot of the North Mountains, dozens of horses galloped away.
A few days later, Purple Leaf Villa.
"Zhuang master, the fourth master, they are back."
"Quick, come out with me to meet you."
Liu Chen walked out of the villa, looked at the people who had just dismounted, and said: "Fourth, you can be regarded as back, in the Lower Purple Leaf Villa, Liu Chen, welcome a few masters, a few masters please come in, have prepared a meal, and wash the dust for a few masters." ”
"Amitabha, the owner of the village is polite, the poor monk's law is called Xuming, this is the poor monk's brother, the void spirit, and the poor monk's apprentice, Deqing and Dezhao."
After finishing speaking, Xu Ming and Deqing looked around and walked in.
As soon as he entered the Purple Leaf Villa, Xuming whispered to Xuling and Dezhao: "You two, take care of yourself, don't run around, don't cause trouble, junior brother, especially you." ”
"Got it, got it, senior brother, let's go in quickly, it's time to eat."
The void spirit impatiently took his brother's hand and walked inside.
At the dinner table, there were some vegetarian dishes, Liu Chen and his wife, Liu Zhi and his wife, and two children, sitting around with the four of them.
Liu Chen picked up the teacup and stood up: "Replace the wine with tea, and toast all the masters." ”
Everyone also stood up, and Xu Ming picked up the teacup and took a sip: "The owner of the village doesn't have to be polite. ”
"Let me introduce to a few masters, this is the little girl Liu Huaiyu, who is ten years old this year, and the little nephew Liu Qing, who is fifteen years old this year, and has seen several masters."
"I've seen a few masters."
The two said in unison.
"My junior brother has just turned ten years old, and it is just right for them to talk together."
"Master, sit down, eat, eat."
Liu Chen hurriedly beckoned everyone to sit down.
After eating, several people came to the meeting room to discuss business.
"Owner, you should first tell me more about what has happened recently."
Liu Chen looked at Xuming and frowned again: "Master Xuming, probably since last month, strange things have happened in this Nanshan Lake. ”
"At first, there were people who saw at night, there were figures floating on Nanshan Lake, from time to time there was a strange scream, and I came back to report at that time, I thought he was dazzled, and he was scared, who knew that the next day, this person died in his room, the death was extremely cruel, the clothes were full of traces left by sharp claws, the eyeballs were cut out, the chest was dug open, the heart fell to the ground, and half of it was eaten, and it was full of tooth marks."
"At that time, I was frightened and asked people to hurriedly go to Nanshan Lake to check, but the entire Nanshan Lake was searched, and there was nothing unusual."
"A few days later, early in the morning, there was a report that there were several corpses on Nanshan Lake, and those who were missing arms and legs were all from the villa."
"In less than a month, more than a dozen people have died, making people panic in the village, and once the sun sets, they dare not take a step out of the village."
"Please also ask a few masters to save us from Purple Leaf Villa."
After listening, he glanced at He Deqing meaningfully, and said: "Don't worry, the owner of the village, tonight I will take my apprentice to Nanshan Lake to meet him, whether he is a demon or a monster, or a thief pretending to be a ghost, a poor monk, he will not let him go." ”
"There is Master Lao, Master please go and rest first, the guest room has been prepared, and in a few hours, the sun will set."
In the dark night, the moon hung high, there was silence on Nanshan Lake, a few frogs were faintly heard, and the boat was swaying left and right by the wind, and under the moonlight, a few footsteps came.
"Who do you think would have done it?"
"I'm not sure, the technique is somewhat similar to the Eight Desolations and Six Ghosts."
Xu Ming and Deqing slowly walked to the lake, looking at the calm Nanshan Lake, thoughtful.
Xuming, a monk for nearly 20 years, just in his early forties, has been practicing the golden body for 18 years, and his own martial arts have reached the top and the peak of the eight grades.
Deqing, born in Beiwei Tiandaomen, six years ago, was framed, mistakenly killed others all over the door, knew that he was guilty, shaved his ordination, worshiped under the Xuming Gate of Beiliang Temple, martial arts has reached the top, the late stage of the eighth grade.
