In the main hall dedicated to the statue, as Ji Yuan and Zhao Yuansong were silent one after another, the atmosphere here fell into silence.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and they didn't speak for a long time, and the four brothers and sisters on the side glanced at each other, among them, Xu Qiqi had the heart to open his mouth to ease the atmosphere, but he was pulled by the river around him.

In this way, she could only give up for the time being, supporting her little head with her arms in every boring way, quietly looking at the clean and delicate face of the little Taoist, and felt that it looked good.

It's just that the girl doesn't know that when she looks at others like this, there are people around her who are looking at her like this.

Zhao Yuansong's other two junior brothers and sisters, one is named Li Junxian and the other is Zheng Wanrong, looking at the demeanor of the two at this time, they couldn't help but have a little smile in their eyes.

The boy is now in the fourteenth and fourth five-year years, and it is time for his mind to sprout.

"Why do you suddenly want to say these things to me?"

After being silent for a long time, Ji Yuan spoke, looking at the man in front of him calmly.

Zhao Yuansong smiled slightly: "Because of your talent, because of your good luck, because I want to become a Taoist friend on the path of cultivation with you." ”

When he said these words, his eyes flickered imperceptibly, and although it was almost impossible to notice, he was still seen by the little Taoist priest.

Ji Yuan groaned, and didn't respond to this, just nodded his head slightly.

The two fell into silence here, as if there were many things that they needed to analyze and calculate in their hearts little by little.

"I said you shouldn't be so serious, okay?"

Seeing this, Xu Qiqi couldn't help but roll his eyes anymore.

She didn't quite understand why these people were always thinking about it, but it was so difficult to choose between what to do and not to do, and how to do it if they did.

Ignoring the glances from the young man beside him, Xu Qiqi moved the futon under him, making himself closer to the little Taoist.

Then she asked curiously, "Why do I feel that you don't have a very good relationship with your senior brothers?" ”

Ji Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the girl who came over a little dumbly, and didn't know how to reply for a while.

To put it bluntly, he is indeed a little less close to several senior brothers other than the fifth senior brother, as if they are separated from each other by a chasm that is difficult to cross in the past.

In fact, when he was younger, he still had a very intimate relationship with several senior brothers, pestering his senior brothers every day, and from time to time he would take the sugar gourd bought by his senior brother and have fun all day.

But since a year and a half ago, he enlightened himself and embarked on the path of cultivation, after the old Taoist priest once made it clear that the Xuantian Temple would be passed on to him in the future.

In an instant, these senior brothers began to become extremely unfamiliar, and the eyes that looked at him also became estranged all of a sudden.

In the past year or two, several senior brothers have become busy, always continuing all kinds of rituals in the city, almost every day they go out early and return late, obviously they all live in a Taoist temple, but often do not see each other for several days.

From the very beginning, Ji Yuan was already very clear about why the senior brothers became like this, and he also knew what they thought in their hearts, but he never broke it.

It is precisely because of this that he is extremely close to the fifth senior brother Guo Tao, even if the other party's cultivation now requires a lot of money, the little Taoist priest has nothing to say.

Because this man who looks a little simple, he really likes him as a junior brother with a pure heart.

Ji Yuan couldn't help but sigh, shook his head with a slightly gloomy expression, didn't catch the girl's question, and went to say some bad things about his own senior brothers.

"It's because of this Taoist temple."

When Xu Qiqi saw his appearance, his eyes rolled, and he had already guessed a rough idea.

So she asked with a puzzled face: "They shouldn't know that you are a monk, and they don't know the true heel of Xuantian Temple, so they are estranged from their junior brother for the sake of the broken Taoist Temple in their own eyes?" ”

Ji Yuan smiled bitterly, and subconsciously looked to the side, his eyes passed through the side door of the main hall, crossed the small courtyard, and finally landed on the houses of several senior brothers.

"Seventy-seven!"

Zhao Yuansong scolded in a low voice and glared at his junior sister.

The girl puffed out her cheeks, moved the futon with an aggrieved expression, and sat back beside the young Jianghe.

"Ji Daoyou......"

Zhao Yuansong sighed secretly in his heart, and just opened his mouth to say sorry, but suddenly a shout came from outside the Taoist temple.

Everyone in the main hall looked at each other, and immediately saw a young man dressed as a small man, who was hurrying over, and walked straight across the door of the Taoist temple that had not been closed, and ran in front of them.

As soon as this person approached, several people smelled a strong smell of rouge and a faint smell of wine.

"Ji Daochang!"

The young man gasped for breath, and his gaze fell on the gloomy little Taoist priest.

After seeing this person, Ji Yuan already felt that he had a little headache, and he probably already knew what the other party was doing here.

"Does Shen Lang have no money to pay the wine bill again?"

The corners of his mouth twitched first, and then he opened his mouth full of disgust.

It's just that although he looked disgusted, he took out the money bag from his sleeve robe while asking.

"No...... It's not ......"

The young guy hadn't recovered yet, and stumbled and said, "Shen Gongzi...... He...... He was in the Hundred Flowers Building...... provoked three ...... Three Knife Meeting! ”

Hearing this, Ji Yuan's face immediately sank, and then he got up and poured a cup of tea for the little guy, asking him to explain the truth of the matter clearly.

After a while, the little guy, who finally had a smooth breath, carefully recounted what had happened before.

The person named Shen Lang is a distinguished guest of a lady in Baihualou, and he has been staying in the lady's courtyard in recent days, and he can be described as drunk and dreaming of death.

There is nothing like this kind of thing, like Baihualou, there are always some ladies who like poets who are full of talent, if they are willing to take out enough silver taels, no one will stop anything.

After all, they are all open to do business, and Baihualou is still in the skin and meat business, as long as there is money to make, naturally they will not care about their own lady's preferences.

It's just that tonight, a hall master of the Three Swords Society asked the lady who had received Shen Lang for several days to leave her own courtyard and serve them for the night.

This was a reasonable thing, but after the lady refused, the hall master of the Three Swords Society was furious and led people into the courtyard, and he wanted to rob it.

So Shen Lang stepped forward, put it in two by three and two to a number of people from the Three Knife Society, and with the strength of the wine, he threw the hall master into the pond outside the courtyard without any face.

"So Shen Lang was later arrested by the Three Knife Society?"

The corners of Ji Yuan's mouth twitched, and he didn't need to continue to talk about it, so he could guess what happened later.

Sure enough, the little guy nodded, which confirmed the conjecture in his heart.

"Daoist Ji, the villain knows that you have the best relationship with Shen Gongzi, but you must save him!"

The little guy hesitated for a moment, but finally pleaded.

He is the subordinate in the courtyard of the lady, and he usually runs errands for Shen Lang many times, and comes to Xuantian Temple to ask the little Taoist priest for some silver taels to pay for the wine money and expenses in the Baihua Building.

In my heart, Xiao Xiao really didn't want this Shen Gongzi, who had never looked down on him, and even often taught him to read and learn calligraphy, to have an accident.

Ji Yuan stretched out his hand and patted his head, this is no longer a question of whether he has a headache or not, but he really doesn't know how to deal with this kind of thing.

If Shen Lang provoked it, it was an ordinary gang in Qianyu City, and he could still use his name as a Dan Master to let the other party give a few thin noodles, whether it was a big deal to fight first, and then lose some money afterwards.

However, this time the Three Knives Club is not an ordinary gang, it is one of the three factions with great fame within a radius of hundreds of miles in Qianyu City.

In terms of power, it is second only to the Zhao family, and in terms of force, it is only high, not low.

With the other party's power, he may be courteous to him, the Dan Master, but he may not be able to give a little thin face, so if he wants to get people from other people's hands, it is somewhat unrealistic to take care of the loss.

It's just that he still has to take care of this matter, after all, Shen Lang and him are friends who have known each other for many years.

And the other party has been insisting on what he has been doing all these years, although he doesn't recognize it very much, but he also sincerely admires it.

"Fellow Daoist, I don't know ...... Shen Lang"

Zhao Yuansong got up and asked with a little curiosity.

Hearing this, Ji Yuan spoke without thinking: "Shen Lang is the scholar I took you to find yesterday." ”

Then he looked at the little guy and asked him to go back on his own first, and then he would go to the Three Swords Society to see if he could resolve this disaster and bring Shen Lang's life out without worry.

As for whether this scholar will be missing an arm or a leg or something, it depends on his own creation.

"Get rid of Ji Daochang!"

The little guy clenched his fists, bent his waist to the end, and then hurriedly turned around and ran.

After all, he is just a subordinate, and it is good to find an opportunity to run out and report the news, and he can't stay outside for too long, otherwise after returning to Baihualou, he will inevitably have to eat a beating.

After the little servant left, Ji Yuan and a few people confessed, then returned to their own house, took a long sword and put it behind him, and pasted a talisman on the crack of the door when he closed the door.

Seeing the talisman disappear in front of his eyes, he nodded with satisfaction, and walked quickly towards the gate of the Taoist temple.

It's just that as soon as he walked to the gate, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zhao Yuansong stepping forward, and he couldn't help but cast a puzzled look.

"I'm a little curious about that scholar, so I thought I'd go with you to see what else I could help."

He smiled: "Of course, it may not help anything in the end." ”

Ji Yuan smiled bitterly, so that he didn't feel that the other party was talking about the scene, or in front of his face, so he was willing to go together.

To be honest, he didn't have such a big face to let a senior brother of the outer sect of the Nine Xuanmen be so flattering.

The reason why the other party is willing to go together and say that he can contribute if he needs to, half of it is because of his love affair with his incense, and most of it is because he heard Shen Lang's deeds, so he is curious and good.

"Obviously he is an immortal monk, but he is full of chivalry."

Ji Yuan sighed: "Then let's go!" ”

After speaking, he walked towards the outside of the Taoist temple, and Zhao Yuansong behind him laughed, and quickly followed.

It's just that tonight, he didn't let the four junior brothers and sisters go with him, because the crisis in the city was unknown at this time, lest there would be an accident on the way.

For monks, it is often both the most anticipated and the most feared of the word 'what if', and it is difficult to tell whether it will come with an opportunity or an unbearable disaster.

This is also one of the reasons why Ji Yuan has always had a good impression of Zhao Yuansong, many things can be ignored by the other party, but when he knows that there is no benefit, he has to intervene like that.

Such a move really doesn't look like an immortal monk, but more like a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, who often makes a move when he sees injustice, and never deliberately pursues what benefits and rewards he can get in the end.

Accustomed to seeing a monk who is bound to compare, it is rare to meet a person who is full of chivalry, which naturally makes Ji Yuan feel close.

Otherwise, he would not have become very close friends with Shen Lang and Huixin, which included both the friendship of acquaintances at a young age and the reasons for being like-minded.

"Thank you."

Walking on the street that was already empty, Ji Yuan suddenly thanked him without looking back.

Hearing this, Zhao Yuansong just smiled and didn't say anything, as if he had just done something insignificant.

But he understands that the other party's move is actually a great risk, not to mention the situation in the Three Swords Society, just in the county today, in addition to the people who secretly plot obscene temples, there are also heart-slashing demons and murderers who are evil.
