Chapter 31: The Broken Temple
"Master, I'm going out on an errand in the field, and I may not come back for a while, so take care of your health at home."
Xu Rong looked at the old man, still a little uneasy in his heart.
The old man is now in his seventies, although he used to practice martial arts, but his cultivation is not strong, and he has barely reached the realm of refining the skin membrane.
Although the body is still relatively strong, after the blows of several deaths of relatives, the spirit is not very good.
Let the old man be home alone, in case something happens, he can't take care of it, and he is really worried.
Even if the county commander Zhang Su said that he would take good care of the old man, it is really difficult to say how credible this is.
"What errand are you going to do? Not only do you want to go to other places, but you also go for a long time? ”
The old man was also a little worried about Xu Rong.
He is such a relative now, if Xu Rong has three longs and two shorts, then there is no point in his life.
Xu Rong naturally couldn't tell the old man about the undercover, and once he knew, he didn't have to worry about death.
"It's just that there is a case in the county government, involving other places, we need to go there to investigate, and we have to collect evidence, anyway, it's very troublesome, whether we can find evidence or not, and it also involves several powerful people."
Xu Rong tried to be vague about the matter, but what he said was also the truth.
When he heard that it involved the powerful, the old man was a little worried: "Won't it be dangerous?" ”
"There must be some dangers, but not big, you know, I have successfully exchanged blood, and the general danger is not a big deal for me."
As long as you run errands, there is nothing that is not dangerous, because these things are meant to be done by catching fast.
Although the old man has been a jailer all his life, he is clear about these things.
Therefore, it is not so much that there is no danger, but that there is some danger, which can reassure the old man.
Sure enough, the old man's tightly knit brows relaxed, but he still advised: "Be careful in everything, don't be impulsive, think clearly before acting, and don't lose your vigilance if you think that your martial arts cultivation is high, you must know that you can't stand poison and other things." ”
"Master, don't worry, I'll be careful."
Xu Rong showed a bright smile, which made the old man feel better.
"I'm leaving, you should be careful at home."
"Don't worry about me, I don't have anything to do at home, except for eating, drinking, and sleeping, what can happen?"
The old man said it lightly, but Xu Rong could still feel his reluctance and worry.
Xu Rong didn't say anything more, took a burden, mounted his horse, beat his horse and walked towards the city gate.
To do a full set of plays, Xu Rong will go to Linxi Town first this time, and then go from Linxi Town to Wan'an City.
Even if the White Lotus Sect still has residual eyeliner in Linxi Town, he will not show his stuff when he goes over this time, but will confirm his identity.
All the way non-stop, Xu Rong was wearing a black power suit at this time, with a tall figure and a profound face, but he looked heroic.
In addition, Xu Rong deliberately changed the shape of his eyebrows, and his hair was a little messy, if he wasn't an acquaintance, it would be absolutely impossible to recognize him.
Moreover, Xu Rong was not equipped with a Yanling knife at his waist at this time, but a long sword.
All of these are necessary items to disguise their identity.
After arriving in Linxi Town, Xu Rong led the horse, just like an ordinary passerby.
It's just that he soon sneaked up on the house where the White Lotus Sect was divided, and even went out of his way to explore it.
After making sure that no one was there, he began to wander around the town, asking about what was going on in the town.
Then after a passer-by asked about the destruction of the White Lotus Sect's rudder, Xu Rong immediately left the town, and then rode all the way to Wan'an City.
Xu Rong was immersed in the performance, and at this time he was no longer Xu Rong, but an aftermath.
Therefore, all his actions need to conform to the person of Aftermath.
In the evening, seeing that the sun was about to set, Xu Rong found a ruined temple not far from the side of the road, and planned to rest here for the night.
It's autumn now, it's still quite cool at night, the dew is heavier, and the horses can't see the road clearly at night, so it's easy to have an accident, so it's better to find a place to soothe your body and mind.
While there was still some light, Xu Rong found a lot of firewood and prepared to make a fire at night.
Not only can it keep warm, but it can also disperse some bugs, beasts, and the like.
After eating two flatbreads with cold water, Xu Rong raised the fire.
The flickering firelight illuminated the dim mountain temple, but the mottled and dilapidated statue of the mountain god was even more terrifying in such a situation.
Xu Rong leaned against the wall and sat on a cushion made of weeds.
When you go out, you don't pay so much attention to it, and you can barely do it by dealing with it all night.
At least it's much better than lying on the ground.
Xu Rong soon felt a sense of fatigue, and gradually fell asleep amid the crackling sound of the firewood.
I don't know how long it has been, but suddenly, Xu Rong's ears moved, and he opened his eyes suddenly.
He heard footsteps outside the mountain temple.
Although he had fallen asleep just now, he had not slept very well and remained vigilant enough.
Otherwise, if there is any danger in the middle of the night, he may die in his sleep.
The footsteps gradually approached, and soon they came to the door of the mountain temple.
"Excuse me!"
A tall, muscular man walked in.
The two looked at each other, and a smile appeared on the tall man's face, as if he wanted to prove that he was not in danger.
"I'm sorry, I saw the fire at night, so I thought I would come here for the night, and the road is not easy to walk at night."
Xu Rong sat up straight, and then said, "This is not my place, I just spend the night here, if you want to spend the night here, sit down." ”
'The footsteps are steady, the lower plate is solid, the body is strong and powerful, the joints of the hands are thick, it seems that he has practiced some kind of fist kung fu, and it seems that the strength should not be weak. ’
After careful consideration, Xu Rong closed his eyes again.
No matter what the identity of this person is, as long as it doesn't get in the way of him, then don't bother with it.
Seeing that Xu Rong didn't seem to pay attention to him, the man just thanked him and sat down by the fire.
The man seemed to be a little tired, and he cleared a place by the fire, and fell asleep on his side.
It didn't take long for the man's breathing to become much more even, and he seemed to be asleep.
Xu Rong didn't hear movement for a long time, opened his eyes slightly, and saw that the man was asleep.
"It's really heart-warming to be able to fall asleep so quickly in front of strangers."
Xu Rong shook his head slightly, and he also closed his eyes.
