Chapter 117: Kunzhong Gathers
When Mu Jun walked up the stone path between the mountains, he finally saw that the place where the green smoke was emitting was an abandoned temple.
Stepping on the slippery bluestone path, the rain-soaked yellow moss under his feet was trampled by him and made a popping sound.
Soon he came to the temple gate, which had been opened.
Mu Junhe took a look and found that there were many carriages and horses parked in the middle of the yard.
Seeing these carriages and horses, Mu Junhe, who was still worried, finally put his mind at ease, because this meant that the people in the temple were not bandits or government officials.
So he strode towards the temple.
Soon he came to the outside of the main hall of the temple, and at this time, the chatting and laughter of Li Yi and others came from the main hall.
"I met this place on the lower road, and I wanted to take this place to take refuge from the wind and rain."
Although Mu Junhe knew that this temple was not this caravan, he still had to say that he would come first and come first, so he would inform him before entering the main hall.
Li Yi and the others in the main hall heard someone talking outside, so they immediately stood up and went to check.
And what appeared in front of Li Yi and the others was a man who was soaked and wearing a hat.
This man was still carrying an unconscious man on his shoulder, but this man did not show the slightest fatigue, which showed that the other party was also a practitioner.
At the same time, the long sword he was carrying on his back also confirmed from the side that the other party was a master of martial arts.
"This strong man's mountain temple here is not our territory, and we are only temporarily staying here to avoid the wind, if you want to come in, please don't care about me and wait."
Li Yi saw that the man on the man's shoulder had an arrow wound on his back, so he concluded that the man and the person on his back must have encountered a vendetta or been pursued by the government.
Therefore, in order to avoid getting into trouble like the previous Luozhou Grottoes, Li Yi was not too enthusiastic.
Mu Junhe saw that Li Yi and the others were also relatively easy to speak, so he nodded and thanked him, and then entered the main hall and walked towards the other west corner.
Seeing that the other party was wet, Li Yi instructed An Su to divide a part of the wood and hand it to Mu Jun, and when the contract was made, he also took out a burning wood from the fire and handed it to Mu Junhe.
Mu Junhe thanked him again, lit the firewood behind him, and began to bake the clothes on his body for himself and An Le.
And Li Yi and the others no longer talked to Mu Junhe, after all, the two sides could only be regarded as meeting in Pingshui.
As time passed, the rain in the sky became heavier and heavier, and the rain outside seemed to be endless.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and seeing that the sky is getting dark, it is ironclad that they will not be able to leave today, so Li Yi and the others began to spread out the bedding, and at the same time, they also hastily dealt with the stagnant water in the hall.
When it was completely dark, everyone was ready to rest and hurry up after the rain this morning.
Just as Li Yi and the others were about to sleep, he secretly observed Mu Junhe's side.
At this time, Mu Junhe and An Le's clothes had been completely dried, but because of the cold weather at night, Mu Junhe removed some doors and windows from the dilapidated wing room behind the main hall, so his pile of flames was now burning vigorously.
And Mu Junhe was sitting cross-legged in place and had already entered a state of concentration.
It's just that Li Yi is very curious that the guy who was carried in by Mu Junhe has been in a coma.
But Li Yi had clearly seen that Mu Junhe had pulled out the arrow on the other party's back, and also helped him take care of the wound.
It stands to reason that the other party should also be awake.
But how did Li Yi know that since Mu Junhe entered this hall, An Le had to wake up twice, but he was knocked out by Mu Junhe again.
Seeing that there was nothing abnormal about the other party, Li Yi also sat cross-legged on the cover like Mu Junhe and entered a state of concentration.
Like the two of them, there is Jing Zizheng.
Just as they slowly entered the meditation, He Qiu was still leading people to search for it in the cold rain.
An hour ago, He Qiu finally caught up with Mu Junhe's running horse.
The hapless colt was lying in a pit in the mountains, neighing and climbing upwards.
Unfortunately, it broke a leg due to a fall, and the pit was too lubricated by the rain to water the soil, so it couldn't climb up anyway.
And after He Qiu and the others found out that there was no Mu Junhe and An Le on this war horse, they understood that they had fallen for Mu Junhe's tricks.
But now they really can't find any trace of Mu Junhe for a while.
Therefore, they had to turn their horses around the path they had come from and slowly look for them.
As they searched, they found themselves not far away with a large number of people riding horses, wearing robes and hats.
After approaching, I found that these people turned out to be a large number of city guard battalion soldiers led by King Luo Mu Linyan.
Logically speaking, it was enough to pry out the information he wanted by grasping stability and quietness.
But I didn't want to be quiet, and I actually bit off my tongue and made myself a dumb person.
And Anding, who had just been sent back, was even more resolute and ruthless, he directly hit the stone steps of Mu Linyi's small courtyard, and his brain burst to death on the spot, and he couldn't die anymore.
This made the seven orifices of Mullin's gas smoke.
Then he put all his last hope on An Le's body, in order to prevent another accident, Mu Linyan directly led the team in person, braved the cold wind and rain, and led more than a hundred soldiers of the guard battalion to chase after He Qiu's traces.
"Your Highness, now that the rain is so heavy, then Mu Junhe is carrying a person, and without horses, he will definitely not be able to go far."
He Qiu saw that Mu Linyan was on the verge of breaking out, so he hurriedly admonished.
"This damn Mu Junhe, as a descendant of my Dayu royal family, is really angry with a remnant of Buddhism."
In fact, Mu Linyan was not so angry that An Le was rescued, what really made Mu Linyan intolerable was that it was their royal family surnamed Mu who rescued An Le.
Although Mu Junhe's family was deprived of their royal status by Emperor Shengcheng back then, the Royal Zongzheng Temple protected Mu Junhe's family to death.
Therefore, although they are no longer members of the royal family in name, they are still recognized by Zongzheng Temple in blood.
According to the generation, Mu Junhe and Mu Linyan are brothers of the same generation, but neither the royal family nor Mu Junhe himself will recognize this relationship.
Originally, if Mu Junhe was an ordinary person, the royal family might have treated Mu Junhe preferentially, but no one expected that this Mu Junhe would become a world-famous "gentleman swordsman" without relying on his own blood background and just by virtue of hard work.
After that, they defeated the Northern and Southern Sword Saints, the first sword god in the army, and the first sword immortal of the Daomen.
Therefore, he also became the "No. 1 Swordsman in the World", and the royal family and other big forces would not pay too much attention to it if others called him the "No. 1 Swordsman in the World".
However, due to his special status, the major forces of the Dayu Dynasty wanted to recruit him as their disciples.
Even the royal family threw an olive branch, and it was even rumored that Emperor Shengheng had considered restoring his royal legitimacy.
But surprisingly, these were all rejected by Mu Junyi.
And his explanation to the outside world is that he is an idle cloud and wild crane who cannot be restrained, and his pursuit is to be friends with elk, twilight abyss and perch, eat and drink, and heaven and earth are his pursuit.
At that time, his words made the royal family lose face, which made the royal family even more disgusted with Mu Junhe.
"This time, no matter what, he must be arrested and brought to justice, shielding the remnants of the Buddhist family, and treating him as an accomplice, even if he is the number one swordsman in the world, he must be brought to justice."
Mu Linyan angrily scolded in the cold rain.
"Now immediately disperse all the people to look for the traces of the traitor, and when you find his hiding place, immediately send a signal to notify the others to come to support, and remember not to act without permission to avoid startling the snake."
He Qiu immediately commanded hundreds of soldiers to disperse to find Mu Junhe, and at the same time, because he was afraid of Mu Junhe's force, he asked all officers and soldiers not to act without authorization.
He knew that there was only one chance to strike, and once he was allowed to escape, it would be difficult to catch him again, so only by gathering all his forces could he ensure that nothing went wrong.
Soon, many soldiers scattered in this small mountain forest began to search.
Since it is very peaceful and the rain is getting heavier, it is difficult to detect the fireworks in the temple.
Just when Li Yi entered a half-asleep state after entering the state, he suddenly had a feeling of palpitations, which made him wake up from the state of concentration in an instant.
As soon as he opened his eyes, a cold light was released in Li Yi's eyes, and he walked to the bright and uncertain bonfire, and stirred it twice with a wooden stick, and soon the flames became brighter.
And Mu Junhe, who was on the west side of the main hall, also opened his eyes, he moved his body slightly and then stood up.
"Don't be nervous, little brother, these people outside are here to arrest me, and it has nothing to do with you and others, I will make it clear to them."
Mu Junhe had also sensed that there were a large number of people outside the main hall surrounding this place.
"Originally, I didn't want to be involved in your fight, but they killed all our horses, and this has a cause and effect with me."
Li Yi and Mu Junhe's voices woke up the others.
When everyone woke up, they saw Li Yi and Mu Junhe standing at the door of the main hall with weapons in their hands, and they instantly understood that there must be someone outside the main hall.
"Great! There's a fight! ”
An Su saw Li Yi holding the storm in his hand and looking ready to go, and immediately shouted happily.
And Yu Zhenlei, who was originally sleepy-eyed, also woke up immediately, and he also took out his two Miao family knives from the edge of the bed.
"Friends outside the door, we don't know you before, isn't it too much for you to sneak up on our horses?"
Li Yi's voice sounded in the hall like thunder, and even the sound of rain outside could not hide his voice.
"This man is a master!"
He Qiu immediately judged that the person who shouted this sentence was a master, because to be so energetic, it was impossible to do it without years of training.
In fact, they didn't want to kill these horses in the first place, because when they found this place just now, they judged that there were other people in this ruined temple, and these carriages and horses belonged to these people.
At the same time, they also judged that these people should have nothing to do with Mu Junhe.
However, due to the previous incident of Mu Junhe snatching horses and escaping on the official road, Mu Linyan was worried that Mu Junhe would repeat his old tricks to snatch horses from these people and escape, so he ordered his subordinates to kill all these horses.
But he didn't know that Li Yi, who was originally reluctant to get involved in this matter, was completely angry because of his actions.
"Listen to the people inside, we will kill your horses to prevent the rebellion of the court inside from escaping by borrowing horses, and when this is the case, you can go to the city of Luozhou to find the lord of Luozhou City to claim compensation."
Mu Linyan didn't think there was anything wrong with killing these horses, he always felt that he had to kill them for granted.
He must capture An Le and Mu Junhe alive today.
The former is one of the keys for him to unravel the Tianlin Change, as the last remnant of the Buddhist family, he will definitely know who instructed the Buddhism to participate in the Tianlin Change.
And the latter is a shame for the royal family, and only by seizing him to strengthen his relationship with the remnants of Buddhism can he completely eradicate this accumulated heart disease for the royal family, and all the slight sacrifice of a few horses is nothing.
"The law decrees that those who steal cattle and horses are sentenced to life hard labor and shaving their hair. Now you should be guilty of killing these horses without permission, and you should be sentenced to exile for 3,000 miles or even beheaded, and we, as the bitter masters, should not blame us even if we kill you thieves! ”
Seeing that the other party was using the court to press himself, Jing Zizheng finally couldn't help but speak.
He also used the government to counter the other party, and he also moved out of the Dayu Decree, which is reasonable and reasonable.
Mu Linyan, who was outside the door when Jingzi said this, was immediately speechless, he was also familiar with the various laws of Dayu since he was a child, of course he knew that what the other party said was not wrong at all.
"Mu Junhe, what kind of ability are you hiding behind these innocent people, a turtle with a shrunken head!"
Mu Linyan was also a clever man, and he saw that he was at a low point in arguing with these outsiders, so he immediately shifted his target and shouted towards the main hall.
"Mu Junhe!?"
Li Yi and Jingzizheng couldn't help but be taken aback when they heard this name, and they both turned their heads to look at the strong man holding a long sword next to them.
"It's really down, it's been abrupt before, and I haven't told my real name!"
Seeing Li Yi and Jingzi's expressions like this, Mu Junhe thought that these two people would be like this when they heard about their fame in the rivers and lakes.
"Senior brother, please accept the senior brother's salute."
Saying that, Li Yi and Jing Zizheng immediately put their left hand on the outside and the right hand on the inside, and at the same time, the fingers of the left hand were inserted into the tiger's mouth of the right hand, and they performed a standard meridian formula.
This meridian recipe is a kind of trick for bowing between fellow practitioners, but it is not the only way to bow to the Daomen.
However, the Guigu Gate stipulates it as a standard method for saluting between the same doors.
"Senior brother!? ······ are you waiting? ”
Mu Junhe couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the tricks of these two people, he didn't expect that the two people in front of him would actually call their senior brother and also use their own sect's tricks.
"Senior brother, the two of us are disciples of Master Taijizi of Guigu Gate!"
Li Yi was worried that Mu Junhe would not believe it, so he directly reported the number of his master and master.
"You are really my junior brother!?"
Mu Junhe immediately believed it when he heard his master's name, after all, their Guigu Gate was really not well-known, and they could know that Guigu Gate and Taijizi were definitely the people inside the door.
"It's not a master, but he's okay?"
Mu Junhe couldn't help but be excited when he saw the two of them nodding excitedly, and he immediately asked.
"Senior brother, don't worry, the master and his old man are all right. We'll talk about that later, and we'll solve the problems outside. ”
Li Yi grabbed Mu Junhe's hand, which was trembling a little because of excitement, and then jumped into the courtyard of the temple.
