In any case, everyone officially set off, because Shangguan Shaoyang is also a horse lover, and the horses he raises are also one out of ten thousand, and they can gallop hundreds of miles a day. Soon after they started on the road, they had already galloped some way, and five days later, they had arrived at the Empty Hidden Temple.

Although the empty hidden temple is a pure place of Buddhism, it is not a noisy place, but there is only one monk cleaning on the stairs, and the temple is silent, and everyone feels a little weird.

Xing Yueying took the lead in stepping forward, looked at the monk, and asked, "Can you tell me about it, saying that the people from the Imperial Sword Sect and the Chivalry Mountain Villa have come here and want to meet the abbot master." ”

The monk raised his head, his face pale, and sighed lightly: "Donors, please come back, the monks of the monastery have been in retreat recently, and the abbot has ordered that no one should be met." ”

Xing Yue was surprised: "What happened?" Not only him, Duan Yujin, who was always at ease in the past, was also like a thunderbolt at this moment, inadvertently opening his eyes and frowning. The empty hidden temple is a place of martial arts, and it is also a national temple, and it is too strange to suddenly close the temple and not receive outsiders.

The monk saw that Xing Yueying was not giving up, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while. Duan Yujin took out a string of prayer beads from his cuff, handed it to the monk's hand, and said in a deep voice: "I'm waiting here, you give this thing to the abbot." ”

The monk was surprised to see that the prayer beads were engraved with the words "Kongyin Temple", nodded, and turned around and entered the temple. After a while, he came out again, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, the abbot allows Ling Gongzi to enter." ”

Ling Tianxiao was very surprised, although he came this time because of a three-year appointment, but Duan Yujin was from the Empty Hidden Temple, why the abbot only let him enter alone, this always felt unreasonable.

Duan Yujin raised his eyebrows, although his thoughts were the same as Ling Tianxiao's, he knew that the abbot must have his intentions in doing this. Duan Yujin smiled indifferently and said, "You go in first, maybe the abbot has something to talk to you about alone." Xing Yueying felt more and more strange, not only was the Chivalry Mountain Villa courteous to him right now, but even the Empty Hidden Temple, which made her have to question Ling Tianxiao's identity again.

Ling Tianxiao glanced at Shangguan Xian and said with a smile: "You find a place to rest, don't blow the wind here." ”

Shangguan Xian's beautiful eyes were deep, and he said, "You should be careful yourself." As soon as the words came out, she couldn't help but smile bitterly and hung her head. The place where Ling Tianxiao was at the moment was the Lingyin Temple, why should she let him be careful, even she felt a little funny by herself.

Ling Tianxiao took a deep breath, gathered his mind, strutted his head, and followed the monk into the temple.

The eighth fold: King Kong subdued the demon

Under the guidance of the sweeping monk, Ling Tianxiao smoothly entered the main hall. Three large Buddha statues stand in front, but the hall is empty, and the surroundings are so quiet that you can hear the needle.

The monk folded his hands, bowed his head slightly, and then retreated. Before he left the hall, he closed the door, Ling Tianxiao suddenly felt that something was wrong, and just as he was about to chase out, an old monk slowly walked out from behind the Buddha, holding a rosary, and muttered words.

Ling Tianxiao fixed his eyes and saw that this person was Master Yuanhui, the abbot of the Empty Hidden Temple. Although he was a little confused, he still stepped forward, bowed and said, "Master Yuanhui is good." ”

Master Yuanhui's vicissitudes of life shot a solemn look on his face, and he said with a solemn face: "Master Ling, you came to the three-year appointment as scheduled, and the old man has already felt the sincerity, I don't know if the donor's mood has changed in the past three years?" ”

Ling Tianxiao took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "Although Ling has not seen through the red dust, his killing heart in the past has been reduced a lot, and now he just wants to pass it calmly. ”

Master Yuan Hui frowned, and then asked, "I wonder if Master Ling has heard about our temple?" ”

Ling Tianxiao wondered, "I don't know what happened?" ”

Master Yuan Hui pondered for a long time, and said in a cold tone: "A few days ago, the disciples of this temple went down the mountain to turn their fate, and they were killed by thieves on the way, and none of them were spared, which is really a pity. ”

Ling Tianxiao was surprised: "Who did it?" ”

Master Yuan Hui's eyes froze, and he said: "Although those eight disciples are not top masters, they have been practicing in our temple for a long time, and their martial arts background is also very solid, but it is really surprising that the murderer easily killed them with the strength of one person." The blade used by this murderer is a sword, and he kills without mercy. ”

Ling Tianxiao was both shocked and suspicious, and asked, "Where did this person come from?" ”

Master Yuan Hui shook his head and said: "This person's swordsmanship is unique, mainly based on the horizontal slashing knife technique, which seems simple, but it is extremely ruthless, even the old man can't tell which faction he comes from." This simple and sharp sword move reminded the old man of someone three years ago. ”

Ling Tianxiao was stunned when he heard this, and finally understood what he meant, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Could it be that Master Yuanhui thinks it was Ling Mou's doing?" Ling was with Brother Duan recently, and then went to the Chivalry Villa, and it was impossible to commit a crime. ”

Master Yuan Hui asked: "Master Ling Shi's light skills are very high, and the old man has personally learned it three years ago, if Ling Shi mainly avoids people's eyes and ears, it is really not a difficult thing. Moreover, Ling Shizhu is known as the sword demon by the people of the rivers and lakes, with superb swordsmanship and ruthless killing moves, which is also well known, which really makes Lao Wei have to suspect Ling Shizhu. ”

Ling Tianxiao swept his eyes, clenched the Zixiao Sword, and said vigilantly, "What does Master Yuanhui want to do?" ”

Master Yuanhui clasped his hands together, shook his head and said: "Amitabha, although the monks are compassionate, but people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless. As the so-called Buddha is also angry, the old man cannot let the murderer go unpunished and stir up the soul. If Master Ling let go of his demons, the old man is willing to help, and Master Ling only needs to recite scriptures in the meditation room to cultivate his self-cultivation. ”

Ling Tianxiao sneered: "Master Yuan Hui wants to put Ling under house arrest? If this is the case, then please forgive Ling for declining his kindness. Just as he was about to turn away, four old monks fell from the hanging beam and happened to surround him. Ling Tianxiao was suddenly startled, frowned, and said, "Could it be that Master Yuanhui is planning to come by force?" ”

Master Yuan Hui was silent for a long time, took a long breath, and sighed: "The four of them are the elder brothers, the four protectors of our temple, and their Vajra Demon Suppression Array is as solid as gold. ”

Ling Tianxiao swept his eyes around and laughed wildly: "Even if I want to fight a fish and die today, and the jade is burned, I will fight to the death." As soon as the words stopped, the four old monks raised their steel rods, which were as hard as pillars, and set up a formation.

Ling Tianxiao had already heard of the power of the Vajra Demon Suppression Array, and he knew that it was definitely not the best strategy to break through, but he had already made an appointment with Shangguan Immortal beforehand, and he didn't plan to say anything about it anymore.

Ling Tianxiao pulled out the Zixiao Sword, and the sword body glowed with purple light as light as mist, which seemed to be hazy and beautiful, but this blade was as sharp as clay, and it was terrifying in his hand, which was not to be underestimated.

Ling Tianxiao snorted coldly, his body shook, pretending to make a feint, but in fact he planned to escape from the main hall.

Although the four old monks rarely set foot in the rivers and lakes, they were not ordinary people, they swept out a few feet and blocked the front of the door.

These people are very fast, and although Ling Tianxiao thinks that he is outstanding in light achievements, he also knows that he can't break through with this. Ling Tianxiao spun around and stabbed out a sword unawares. One of the old monks didn't expect his move, and while he was holding a stick, he was shocked back a few steps by the sword qi.

Ling Tianxiao originally wanted to injure one person first, so that the Vajra Demon Suppression Array would be missing one person, which was equivalent to revealing a flaw, but it seemed that the situation had not developed as he expected.

The four old monks regrouped, came with sticks, and approached step by step. Two of the old monks quietly walked around the rear, and with a wave of their long sticks, the attack seemed to be slow and urgent, which caught people off guard and was difficult to parry.

But seeing that Ling Tianxiao was unbearable to show weakness, his sword was like the wind, no more than half a foot, and the situation was unusual, one of the old monks flipped his left hand, and the steel rod was placed horizontally to hold the sharp blade, but he was pushed by his left hand and knocked several feet away.

Seeing this, the two old monks came up one after another, and the two sticks were drawn together, like a dragon flying into the sky, and like a tiger lying on the ground, teaching people to be unpredictable. Ling Tianxiao volleyed over in the air, his body flew diagonally, his strong wrist spun lightly, and with a mention of the Zixiao Sword, he struck straight at them.

The old monks' bodies sank, not hurrying or slowing, rolling sticks to fight back, the stick tricks they made were exquisite, and the internal strength was strong, even Ling Tianxiao couldn't bear it. Ling Tianxiao rushed to attack dozens of rounds, all of which were resolved by the four old monks in formation, and had to take a defensive position, and the two sides fought for more than 100 rounds, Ling Tianxiao was outnumbered, and his fatigue gradually appeared.

The four old monks took advantage of the victory to pursue, flipped their hands, and slammed a strong stick, Ling Tianxiao used his sword to unload his strength, and after barely dismantling the move, the four old monks still rushed to attack, not giving a chance to breathe. Ling Tianxiao knew that if he continued like this, he would be defeated sooner or later, so he turned his heart sideways and carried the Pure Yang Technique, and his whole body suddenly became hot, as hard and hot as lava.

The four old monks were shocked to realize that this was the long-lost pure yang recipe of the Empty Hidden Temple, and they were greatly surprised, and they looked at each other and set up a defensive formation. Suddenly, Ling Tianxiao raised his sword and went up, using the nine swords of Lingyun that he had learned all his life, and he slashed out with one move, and the nine qi were all in unison, and an old monk happened to be on the track of his sword track, and he couldn't dodge, and he was hit on the spot, staggering and stumbling.

Seeing that the formation had been broken, Ling Tianxiao swept forward, intending to take advantage of the victory to pursue. But the other three monks were not fuel-efficient lamps, they knew that although the Lingyun Nine Swords were powerful, they could not continue to use them, so with the strength of many people, they quickly made a move, forcing Ling Tianxiao to parry.

Master Yuan Hui on the side muttered: "Master Ling Shi turned back to the shore, and hoped to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground." ”

Ling Tianxiao shouted, and a powerful energy suddenly burst out from the tip of the sword, and the three monks' bodies shook and swept back a few steps. Ling Tianxiao turned his head sharply, glared at Master Yuanhui, and said angrily: "If you really want to deceive people too much, then I will no longer back down, and today I became a demon again because of you." ”

Master Yuan Hui said calmly: "At the end of the strong crossbow, does Master Ling still plan to bluff?" ”

Ling Tianxiao looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha, since ancient times, who has not died in life, fought hard with his life, and died without regrets." Ling Tianxiao held the Zixiao Sword with his backhand, and suddenly there was a solemn aura around his body, his eyes were like electricity, staring directly at the four old monks, with a murderous word on his face.

Master Yuan Hui was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Master Ling, keep people under the sword!" As soon as the words fell, he turned to look at the four old monks, and said with a salute: "All the junior brothers have worked hard, please return to the meditation room." ”
