Du Wenlin was slightly distracted, a long knife had already stabbed in front of him, out of instinctive reaction, his body leaned sideways, and the dagger stabbed at the opponent's arm against the hilt.

The dagger stabbed through the other's arm, and the long knife slashed through his belt.

The man in black missed the blow and immediately retreated, and the two of them broke out in a cold sweat at the same time.

Suddenly, a white figure rushed down from the wall like a bolt of lightning, and a man in black bore the brunt of the attack, stabbed in the back with a dagger in his hand, and let out a terrible scream.

The White Shadow didn't stop, and continued to attack the second person.

The second person was already prepared, and when he saw the man in white attacking in front of him in a blink of an eye, he was busy stabbing with a knife, trying to keep the other party out, at least the dagger was not as long as the knife.

However, the man in white made an incredible move, his waist suddenly moved to the right, and the waist and lower body still maintained the original posture and rushed forward, the long knife stabbed her waist, and the dagger in her hand stabbed the right arm of the man in black, and blood flowed immediately.

The opponent's formation began to scatter, and Du Wenlin and Wang Ling took the opportunity to attack outward.

A man in the night let out a short scream and threw a black ball, which exploded in the air, filling the courtyard with smoke.

The smoke was quickly blown away by the wind, but their figures were gone.

"Mother, I didn't expect you to come too." Du Wenlin said excitedly.

The person who came was Sanniang, she pulled her hair back with her hand, revealing that beautiful face, looked at the two of them and smiled:

"If I don't come, you two will probably not be able to get out tonight."

Du Wenlin's face turned red and said:

"I don't know where these men in black came from, it's amazing!" He admired the martial arts of the man in black from the bottom of his heart.

"I know a little bit about their origins, and I'll tell you when I have time. You deal with the unfinished business here. I went outside and waited. After saying that, he turned his head and walked out of the courtyard.

Wang Ling stood there in a daze, the woman in white had extremely high martial arts, she suddenly appeared at midnight and instantly repelled the enemy, and she was still Du Wenlin's mother. The situation is changing so fast that I feel a little confused.

Du Wenlin pulled her sleeve:

"Hey, what's wrong?"

After relieving himself, Wang Ling smiled:

"I didn't expect you to have such a powerful mother!"

Du Wenlin scratched his head and smiled silently.

I don't want to explain too much to her about Sanniang. After all, there are a lot of secrets involved in that race.

From the beginning of the fierce fight in the courtyard, Daoist Cangbai has been standing under the corridor and watching.

At this time, he walked over slowly:

"Two donors, poor people take the liberty to ask each other, where do you come from?"

Du Wenlin replied:

"We are all members of the official family, and occasionally I heard that there are Jianghu sects that want to be unfavorable to your view, so we came rashly and prayed for forgiveness!"

"Thanks to the help of the two tonight, I didn't let my Shangqing faction become accomplices of foreign enemies and ruined the reputation of the millennium. Thanks again! Buddha Amitayus! "Bow down.

Du Wenlin hurriedly returned the salute and asked:

"May I ask the Chief, apart from the four Daoists who have returned to the West tonight, is there anyone else involved?"

"On weekdays, I rarely participate in Guanzhong affairs, so I don't know much about it. After dawn, they began to investigate the matter. ”

Du Wenlin saw that there was nothing to meddle in here for the time being, so he took his leave and went down the mountain.

The mountain wind is getting stronger, blowing cold on the body.

Du Wenlin saw that Sanniang was waiting for him outside the Wanfu Palace:

"Mother, the last time we met was in the capital, why did you get here?"

Sanniang smiled:

"The rivers and lakes are as deep as the sea, you have just stepped in, and my mother is always not at ease. So, I ran to Gangnam again. ”

Du Wenlin knew that she couldn't show up during the day, and she had to travel at night. It's easy to say, more than 2,000 miles to come over, and the hard work can be imagined.

I was extremely moved in my heart, my eyes were hot, and I choked up:

"Mother, thank you!"

With these words, Sanniang is satisfied. She looked at Wang Ling and said:

"Miss Wang's martial arts are extremely high, and her character is also good!"

Wang Ling listened to her praise herself, but she looked twisted:

"Thank you for the compliment!"

"Mother, where are these men in black coming from tonight?" Du Wenlin asked.

"They are samurai from Toei. Someone must have ordered them to come here tonight, and the target should be the two of you. ”

"Why can't my sword sharpen their long sword?" Wang Ling asked puzzled.

"The sword in Miss's hand is as sharp as clay, it is indeed a rare treasure! However, they were unable to cut their long swords, because they were made of Toei's special steel, carefully crafted by swordsmiths, and only high-ranking samurai were qualified to wear such swords. Ordinary weapons are often vulnerable to these knives, but tonight not only can you not help your sword, but if you are not careful, there is a danger of being cut off by you. They kind of met a nemesis. ”

Hearing this, Wang Ling felt a little more comfortable.

"Mother, I still have a question, last time in Hengshan Bridge Town, I met a young man in a blue shirt, in his twenties, his martial arts are extremely high, from the perspective of body and speed, he is a little similar to me. Do you know where he came from? ”

"He is a 'future star' from the Ying family, and his real name is Wei Dongqing, because we don't have any contact with the Ying family, so we don't know much about them. The three Ying brothers who saw in the capital last time also came to Changzhou, if the four of them join forces, it is a tricky strong enemy, you have to be careful when you encounter them in the future. ”

"Uh-huh, I'll pay attention!"

"You go slowly, I'll go down first." After saying that, he turned around and went down the mountain, like a white cloud, drifting away.

"Your mother's identity and background are not ordinary, right?"

Du Wenlin smiled and did not answer.

When they returned to the inn, the east was already white, and the two of them were lying on the bed with their clothes folded and talking:

"We just came down from the mountain, and we can't go up the mountain after dawn?" Wang Ling asked.

"I always feel that there are still many things in the Wanfu Palace, but I'm afraid that Daoist Cangbai won't be able to deal with it. Or we'll go again during the day, and we'll be able to revisit the old place. ”

The two of them slept until three o'clock in the morning, ate something simple, and set out on the road to Wanfu Palace again.

Climb the steps along the winding mountain road, because it is daytime, there is no need to rush like last night, and enjoy the scenery of the mountain at a leisurely leisurely pace.

The mountain of Maoshan is not high, its beauty lies in the scattered peaks and valleys, as well as a large number of Taoist temples and palaces, as well as the widely spread Taoist culture and stories and legends.

It was supposed to be the season of tourists, but there were very few tourists.

Maybe it's really as the innkeeper said, it was rumors that affected the incense on the mountain.

Revisiting the old place, familiar with the road, they came to the gate of the Nine Heavens Ten Thousand Blessings Palace in less than an hour.

Two small Taoist priests stopped in front of the door and told visitors, "There is something in the palace today, and tourists are not accepted." ”

Seeing such a situation, Du Wenlin was even more worried, and stepped forward:

"I'm a friend of Daoist Cangbai, and he invited me to come to your palace today."

"Please ask the name of the donor, and I can report it."

"You said the young man from last night came to see him again."

The little Taoist priest rolled his eyelids, and seemed to be unclear, but he still went in to report.

A moment out:

"Cangbai Dao Chang has a sentient benefactor to enter the palace." As he spoke, he led the way and walked to the backyard.

They passed through the front three halls, bypassed the table tower, and came to the second temple in the back.

The courtyard in front of the Second Temple was crowded with old and young Taoists wearing Taoist robes.

Du Wenlin stopped and stood in the distance and watched quietly.

There were seven or eight Taoists standing under the corridor in front of the hall, and Daoist Cangbai faced the people in the courtyard, cleared his throat and said:

"Last night, Abbot Cangsong suffered misfortune and was killed by four traitors, Qingxin, Qingchen, Qinghe, and their apprentice Xuzhu, and the four were also punished on the spot. Today, I invite all the colleagues of the Nine Palaces and Twenty-Seven Temples to come just to elect a new abbot. I kindly ask you to share your opinions. ”

At this time, Cangyun Dao, the palace master of the Yuan Fu Palace, stepped forward and said:

"The abbot of Cangsong has achieved positive results, and our Shangqing faction of the Maoshan Northern Sect cannot be left without an owner for a day. Senior Brother Cangbai has been diligent in cultivating the Tao over the years, enlightened earlier, and has a high reputation in this sect, so I think it is better to let him take over the position of abbot. ”

The people below discussed in a low voice, and it was noisy.

Suddenly, a sharp voice shouted:

"Let Senior Brother Cangbai take over as the abbot, we have something to say in Chongxi Palace."

Everyone turned their heads to look, and the speaker was Cangmu Dao Chief, the palace master of Chongxi Palace.

Cangbai Road said:

"Senior Brother Cangmu, if you have something to say, you have something to say."

Daoist Cangmu took a step forward and turned to face everyone in the audience:

"I think that the Maoshan Northern Sect has gone through more than 1,000 years since the founding of the ancestors, and it has been aimed at spreading the ideas of our religion and promoting the culture of our religion. However, in recent years, the talents of this religion have withered and the incense is not flourishing, and the reason for this is the limited ability of the abbot. At this point, there was a deliberate pause.

"Yes, it's all due to the abbot's incompetence."

"So the abbot must be elected by everyone."

"Cangmu Dao is long and profound, and he is highly respected, so it is appropriate for him to be the abbot."

There was a lot of discussion below, and it was obvious that Daoist Cangmu was prepared.

Cangbai Dao Chang's face couldn't hold back, and he clenched his fists and said:

"Fellow believers, please be quiet, if you think that I am not qualified for the position of abbot, please re-nominate me, everything is based on the inheritance and reputation of this religion."

Immediately, there were many people clamoring that the head of the road must be the abbot.

Suddenly, a thick voice said:

"Daoist Cangmu can't serve as the abbot of our Shangqing faction, he is greedy for wealth and wealth, colludes with foreign teachers, and wants to pull our Maoshan Shangqing faction into foreign religions, and since then he has ruined the foundation of our Maoshan faction."

Everyone turned their heads to see that it was a stout Taoist man in his thirties.

"Qingfeng, you have no evidence, blood spurts people!" Cangmu Road long said.

"Who's spewing blood? That day, when you conspired with Qingxin and Qingchen, I happened to overhear your conversation. You say。。。。。。 Before Qingfeng finished speaking, a young Taoist in his twenties suddenly jumped out of the crowd, shook his sleeve, revealing a dagger, and directly inserted it into Qingfeng's chest.

The dagger was pulled out, the blood mist sprayed, and Qingfeng covered the knife with his hand and opened his frightened eyes, and died of anger.

The young Taoist didn't pause at all, his body shook, and he went straight to Cangbai Daochang.

Immediately there are four Taoists to intercept, but these Taoists are usually chanting and meditating as a profession, and occasionally practice some swordsmanship to keep themselves healthy, when facing a master like a young Taoist, the little martial arts practiced are not in vain.

They shouted, drawing their swords at their waists, trying to fend off.

However, this young Daoist's body was too fast, and the speed of his attack was even more unheard of than they had ever heard of.

Three people were stabbed down in an instant, and when he was about to attack the fourth person, a red figure suddenly stopped his figure.

When I stopped, I recognized that it was the woman in red I had met in the town of Hengshan Bridge that day.

He had seen this woman's skills, so he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, and the dagger in his hand stabbed at the wrist of the woman in red at an extremely fast speed.

The woman in red's sword slashed quickly towards her right arm, and her forearm bent upwards to dodge the blade before continuing to attack the other man.

Both of them attacked each other with extremely fast movements, and for a while, the two figures were entangled.
