On July 15, the night wind hunted, and the wilderness flew alone. Lin Manliu and Ning Ke found a temple on the outskirts of the village, planning to stay again tonight, originally wanted to take advantage of the twinkling stars dotted above the canopy of the sky, so as to continue walking, but Ning Ke refused, in her words, it was almost time to repair it well.

The short-shirted young man was not stubborn, so he followed Ning Ke's idea. The two led the horses to the pillars outside the temple and tied them up, and together they entered the dilapidated temple, and the first thing the young man saw was a simple Buddha statue, the gold leaf on the Buddha statue did not know whether it had fallen off or was stolen, and now it looked a little dilapidated.

The poor scholar casually looked at the furnishings in the house, intending to find a good place to rest, while the young man in the short shirt walked up to the Buddha statue and bowed three times with his hands folded.

Ning Ke was deeply bored when he saw this, so he found a futon and picked it up and patted it, beating off the dust on it, making the futon as clean as possible and easy to rest.

"Does Brother Lin believe in Buddhism?" Ning Ke asked Lin Manliu as he moved.

"If you believe it, you naturally don't believe it, but since I was a child, my father and mother have said a lot of ghosts and gods, and now I still have to bow to him under the fence and ask for peace of mind..."

"Lin Manliu, pretending to be deep like this, is it to deceive others or to deceive yourself, a little kid shouldn't be like this!" Ning Ke sat on the futon, leaning against a fairly clean wall and said leisurely.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this short-shirted young man is still young, but his words are always so old, Ning Ke sighed in his heart, he shouldn't have done these things at such an age...

"I... I'm sixteen! It's not what Brother Ning said..."Whenever he mentioned his age, Lin Manliu always involuntarily began to hesitate, but he would always think of the moon girl who said that she had two birthdays for herself.

"Sixteen is still... I know, I know, I don't want to talk about this" The poor scholar just wanted to continue to ridicule the short-shirted young man in front of her, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she saw the funny appearance of the young man pinching the corners of his clothes, which made her want to laugh, so she had to stop talking.

"I know what Brother Ning wants to say, but now I have also traveled across the east and west, first with the caravan to Hangzhou, and then with the old liar to return to southern Xinjiang in the west, I have seen a lot of mountains and rivers, and I am no longer a child!" Lin Manliu swept away his previous embarrassment, stood in front of the temple door, turned to look at Ning Ke, and said loudly.

Ning Ke looked at the young man standing in front of the door, under the moonlight, his figure was dragged by the light for a long time, and the moonlight sprinkled on the young man's shoulder was shining.

She looked at the boy's face, the corners of his mouth turned up, and a smile on his lips, he was smiling confidently.

Ning Ke looked a little distracted, but immediately rubbed his cheeks, and came to his senses and asked the short-shirted young man: "Who are you talking about along the way when you always mention the old liar and the old liar?" ”。

"Even if you are half of my master, how can you call an old liar... Jiangnan swordsman Ye Dang listen! Lin Manliu said in a deep voice, and when he thought about how to call the old liar, he remembered what the master said, and he said so when he went to the rivers and lakes to report his family in the future.

Ye Dang listened... It is the second owner of Yijian Villa, who should listen to what the master said before... When Ning Ke thought about it, what she thought of was far more than just the rumors in Yijian Villa, she must have seen this person's name in the attic of the master and the academy, but now she can't remember it for a while...

"Where is he now?" Ning Ke continued to ask. Lin Manliu had also walked into the temple at this time, found a place to sit down at random, and saw that Ning Ke was interested, so he said that he could listen to it, and he trusted Ning Ke.

"Now that I am in the southern Xinjiang with my master, I should have already met with the owner of the village, and my previous worry was that I was afraid that they would encounter the evil sect..."Lin Manliu looked outside the door and said slowly.

Then the two talked, it was some trivial things, and they talked about why Ye Dangting was said by the young man to be an old liar, or what Lin Manliu's family did, but the two of them did not ask two questions very tacitly, what was the purpose of Lin Manliu's master and Ye Dangting, and why Yijian Villa went west, because these are not trivial matters.

...... Thousands of miles away in southern Xinjiang, there were suddenly dark clouds covering the sky at this time, which would be bright and dark, and then the dark clouds dissipated, and it was the starry sky again.

There was a group of men and horses stationed in the dense forest here, numbering about sixty people, as if they were resting and celebrating, and there would be some laughter around the campfire from time to time.

"The mountain bandits that the owner encountered before were really one after another, and since I entered this southern Xinjiang, I almost feel that I am a hero of martial arts!" A man said loudly holding a wine bowl.

"Hey, you talk a lot, didn't you almost be stabbed yesterday, if it weren't for Sister Xiao Xiao's help, you would still be able to eat here today?" Then a female voice mocked.

As soon as he was said this, the man who used to speak loudly, I don't know if the strength of the wine caused his cheeks to flush, or what, so he shut up and stopped talking and just drank there by himself.

"You said yes, Sister Xiao Xiao, yes, owner!" Seeing that the man was silent, the female voice asked in a loud voice towards the campfire behind him.

"Uh...".

"Uh...". The response seemed to be unanimous, and the female voice snorted and continued to turn back.

"Although Fengbai's trip is stable, but now with such fanfare, it is a bit too much..."Xiao Xiao said in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter! Along the way, the brothers didn't have many opportunities to relax, but now it's rare to be at ease, and they are all good sons and daughters who are just the right age, and they have been able to suffer all day long! Lu Fengbai didn't seem to want to discuss with Xiao Xiao at all, and as he spoke, he directly got up and raised his glass to everyone and shouted.

"Uh..."Xiao Xiao was speechless. And everyone around raised their glasses and drank because of their owner's words.

Isn't this team of sixty people the Yijian Villa heading west? Half an hour passed for the joyful scene stationed here, and when it was almost there, Lu Fengbai's face was already covered with redness, he rubbed his cheeks and walked out of the crowd, walking towards a quiet location, Xiao Xiao saw the direction of his journey, originally just tilted his head to look, but was unexpectedly put on file by Zhou Congee beside him.

"Sister Xiao Xiao, when I was stationed here before, was there a secluded pool in the dense forest in that direction?" Zhou Congee said.

"You mean?" Sister Xiao Xiao raised her eyebrows and continued to look at Lu Fengbai's figure.

"Isn't the owner of the village going?" Zhou Congee suddenly burst out in surprise for some reason. A serious voice suddenly came to mind behind the two: "Go and see?" ”。

It's Lu Cishan! The two didn't look back and said together: "Good words? ”。 Without waiting for Lu Cishan to explain, Xiao Xiao continued to speak: "I have long heard Ji Ting say that when you two lords were in Yangfeng Valley, something was wrong...".

"To go or not to go?" Lu Cishan still had the same serious voice as before. The three of them pondered for a moment, nodded together, and said, "Go!" After speaking, the three of them took advantage of the fact that the other disciples in the village were still chatting and eating wine, and followed Lu Fengbai's previous figure and walked into the dense forest.

In front of a cross-sectional cliff in the dense forest, there is a quiet mountain spring, and from time to time the spring water gushes out from the gap in the cliff and falls into the pool.

Lu Fengbai, who was the first to arrive here, first took off his shoes and socks, and his feet stretched into the cold pool water, but his feet had just submerged into it, which instantly gave Lu Fengbai a thrill.

"Cool!" He said proudly, as if he hadn't woken up yet. The three people who followed behind hid in the bushes, looking at Lu Fengbai who was soaking his feet by the pool.

"Are we thinking too much, Sister Xiao Xiao must not read less idle books on weekdays!" Zhou Congee said softly.

"It's early, it's just the beginning!" Xiao Xiao also said softly, and patted Zhou Congee's head as she spoke, signaling her not to make a sound.

Lu Cishan, who was beside the two, immediately hummed and continued to look at the scenery by the pool. Xiao Xiao and Zhou Congee looked at Lu Cishan's reaction, and they were ashamed.

Just between the words of the three of them, Lu Fengbai on the edge of the pool made another move, he shook his body and began to get up and walk into the pool, and while walking into it, he took off his robe, and then threw it on the shore.

Looking at its appearance, the drunkenness is still there. The three of them pushed each other and reminded each other that it was time to start!

But this action inevitably caused some noise in the bushes. Lu Fengbai, who had already walked into the middle of the pool, looked sideways and looked somewhere, as if he sensed something... Zhou Congee was the first to get nervous, and he wouldn't be discovered by the owner!

It can be seen that the position of Lu Fengbai's side head is not in the direction of the three people, and only a little side glance, Lu Fengbai continued to walk into the pool.

Under the background of the moonlight, several scars on Lu Fengbai's body were reflected very conspicuously, and at this time, Lu Fengbai had already walked to the middle of the pool, his robe and lacquered night knife were placed on the shore, and there was nothing around him.

He picked up a pool of water from the water, hit it in the face, and began to wipe the flush from his cheeks.

It didn't take long for the dark clouds above the canopy to move slowly, obscuring the bright moon, and the water in this pool began to become quiet.

At this moment, in the other direction of the dense forest, a voice came out: "So leisurely, do you know that there are not many stable days?" ”。

As if he hadn't heard it, Lu Fengbai didn't pay attention to the man's words at all, and was still washing up by himself.

The people in the forest saw that Lu Fengbai did not react, and then the forest shook, and the birds and finches that had stopped resting on the branches immediately scattered.

A black shadow poked out of the forest, and he didn't know where he picked up the wooden stick in his hand, and rushed to Lu Fengbai, who was wiping his face in the pool.

Just when the wooden stick was about to swing to Lu Fengbai's side, Xiao Xiao, who was originally on the other side, wanted to get up to help, but was stopped by Lu Cishan.

"Just wait and see what happens," Lu Cishan said. I saw Lu Fengbai yawning, stretching his body as if stretching his waist, and met the wooden stick with one hand.

The moment the wooden stick came into contact with Lu Fengbai's forearm, the wooden stick exploded. And Lu Fengbai himself was not injured at all, he was standing in the middle of the pool, and the black shadow before had already swept upside down and flew to the edge of the pool.

"It's been a long time, why don't you move forward and retreat? In the end, I still responded to the gentle sentence that the township is a hero's mound..."Lu Fengbai turned his back to the black shadow and said with a little drunkenness.

"It's just a temptation, come again!" The dark shadow spoke. After the black shadow finished speaking, the whole person rushed to the middle of the pool again.

Lu Fengbai shook his head, his eyes seemed to be drunk and he still kept his eyes closed, and his body was in a fist fight, about to face the black shadow that attacked.

The black shadow figure flew over the pool of water, and several punches and kicks were delivered, and the strength was great, but all of them were unloaded by Lu Fengbai's seemingly weak fist or directly blocked down, and there were a few times when the fist was exchanged, the black shadow was almost dragged into the water by Lu Fengbai.

Between the two of them, the originally quiet small pool under the cliff became restless, and from time to time there were splashes of water, making a wave of agitating sound.

However, the black shadow had a strange shape, and when he was grappling, he would immediately sweep backwards and retreat, not letting Lu Fengbai, who was standing still, have any chance to take advantage of it.

"I stand still in the pool, and you have turned around several times, but you have not shaken me in the slightest, how about it?" At this time, Lu Fengbai's whole body was already soaked because of the waves caused by the previous confrontation, and the only clothes on his body were also soaked.

"When I see it now, I used to be so noisy, come again!" As the black shadow spoke, the figure stepped out of the shore, as if it was gathering momentum.

Lu Fengbai in the pool was still the same as before, shaking his body and putting out that boxing fight, ready to face the enemy at any time.

The black shadow suddenly burst out, this time it was no longer a quick stride forward on the pool, but the whole person jumped in the air, just one step was about to cross in front of Lu Fengbai, and he handed out both fists at the same time.

A punch was swung towards Lu Fengbai's face door, and a punch was swung towards Lu Fengbai's left arm. Lu Fengbai's body was like that drunken man, and it seemed that he had no ability to take the black shadow's fists at all.

But at the moment when those fists were about to touch Lu Fengbai's door and left arm, Lu Fengbai moved strangely.

His figure began to become illusory, the black shadow's fists instantly hit the air, and then when Lu Fengbai's entire figure reappeared, it had already appeared behind the black shadow, he waved his arm, and the black shadow was directly knocked into the pool.

"Ahem... Don't play anymore! You deceive! Ahem... How can you still use your fists and feet against the enemy..."The black shadow shouted as soon as he got up from the pool, coughing from time to time during the process, apparently having eaten a lot of water when he was beaten into the pool.

Without waiting for the black shadow to finish speaking, Lu Fengbai said, "Can you find out clearly?" At this time, Lu Fengbai's words were still like the previous drunk, and the drunkenness of the whole person had long since disappeared.

"Eleven and I have already completed the investigation of the inside of the Star Observatory, but now that the Evil Slaughter Gate has entered the southern frontier, after all, there are already internal agents placed around Fengcheng" The black shadow stopped coughing and immediately reported.

Between the words of the two, the dark clouds that had previously obscured the moonlight dispersed, and the appearance of the black shadow could finally be seen clearly, it was Ye Dangting, the second owner of Yijian Villa.

"It's hard work..."Lu Fengbai groaned.

"I have to live in southern Xinjiang for a long time, which is more leisurely than the south of the Yangtze River, and there is a hard time in this gentle township!" Ye Dang said with a smile, and as he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the shore.

"How long will the three of you watch it?" Lu Fengbai also walked towards the shore together, and he suddenly said out loud.

The three people who were hidden in the forest were shocked in their hearts, oops, they were discovered! could only walk out of the bushes together, and just when the three of them bowed their heads, Lu Fengbai had already put on his robes and shoes and socks.

Ye Dangting stood beside Lu Fengbai and handed him the Lacquer Night Knife. Lu Fengbai, who took over the lacquer night, looked at the night sky that would be bright and dark, and said loudly: "Where? ”。

Ye Dang listened to the voice and said: "Ten miles away, the Snake Valley." Lu Feng Bai was behind him, and when he passed through the four people, he shouted: "Fight!" ”。

Ye Dangting, Lu Cishan, Xiao Xiao, and Zhou Congee responded in unison: "Get the order!" Then the group of five returned to the camp of Yijian Villa.

The night forest wind is bleak, everyone gallops on horseback, and when the time comes, Yijian Villa belongs to the snake valley.
