Chapter 237: Anonymous Invitation
Early the next morning, Zhong Lifei and his party hit the road.
Cang Yu escorted hundreds of moles along the way, and it was not until he approached the fierce plough mound that he said goodbye to everyone.
After Cang Yu left, Chu Fan found the entrance according to the previous method and led everyone into the tunnel.
Out of the tunnel, there is the boundary of the Fengyi Kingdom in front of you.
At this time, Chunxue said: "Sir, please go to Fengyi Gate with the slave maid." ”
Zhong Lifei deliberately frowned and said, "It's not a good idea to go to you. ”
"Why?"
"I didn't get anything on this trip, I don't have the face to see your palace master."
"Sir, I'm too worried, the two palace masters respect your character, and they must not be careful."
"Really? I don't think so. ”
Zhong Lifei thought for a moment and said, "This matter is over, the girl should also go back to resume her life, the apprentice and I have to go to another place, it is better to part ways." ”
"Huh?" Chunxue was stunned.
Seeing this, Chu Fan hurriedly said: "Master, you are seriously ill now, in case you encounter a thief along the way, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with the enemy......"
Zhong Lifei interrupted him and said with a smile: "So what, isn't there still you?" ”
"The apprentice is not good at learning, if the other party has a large number of people, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to deal with it."
When the Void Master heard this, he clasped his palms together and said, "The old man is willing to accompany the two of them on the road to report the life-saving grace of the master." ”
Chu Fan hurriedly said: "With the master alone, our side is still weak." ”
"Oh, really?"
Zhong Lifei laughed, glanced at Chu Fan, and found that the apprentice's face turned red all of a sudden.
Turning his head to look at Chunxue again, the other party was also slightly red.
Chunxue lowered her head and said softly: "I, like the master, have to repay Mr. for saving his life." At present, the good fortune of the gentleman is undecided, how can the slave and maid be embarrassed to return to Fengyi Gate alone. ”
"That's right."
Zhong Lifei tilted his head and thought for a while, with a narrow expression on his face.
"Well, since the two of you think so highly of me, let's go together."
"Great!"
Chu Fan's face couldn't hide his happiness, and he said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to the capital to find Murong Xue for a drink." ”
Zhong Lifei smiled: "Who said I was going there?" ”
"Isn't it?"
Chu Fan said in surprise: "If you don't go to Fengyi Gate and Dark Moon Division, how can you cure Master's illness?" ”
"I know very well about my illness, there is only one place in the world that can be healed."
"Where is it? Tell me, Master. ”
"Don't worry, let me think about it."
"What else do you want, if you rub it again, you will be buried in the loess!"
Seeing Chu Fan and the others staring at him anxiously, Zhong Lifei laughed.
Subsequently, he explained why.
"It's not a place to get into, and I'll have to think of a plan to avoid mistakes."
"Oh, that's right. Master, you have to hurry up and make up your mind, time waits for no one! ”
"Cangyu can save my life for a month, this time is enough for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance.
Everyone looked and found that it was a middle-aged man in a cloth coat riding a white horse running towards them.
Before the person arrived, he shouted from afar: "You are the team that has returned from the Qingqiu treasure hunt, is there any Zhongli in charge of it?" ”
Zhong Lifei nodded in response: "I am Zhong Lifei of Xuanwu Sect." ”
The middle-aged man galloped over, turned over and dismounted, and looked Zhong Lifei up and down.
It took him a long time before he asked, "How do you prove that you are the head of Zhongli?" ”
Chu Fan suddenly became angry and roared: "Blind your dog eyes, my master is famous all over the world, no one in the world knows anyone, and who dares to pretend!" ”
The middle-aged man accompanied the smiling face and said in a low voice: "The young man is angry, I am entrusted by others, and I have to ask clearly." ”
Hearing him say this, Zhong Lifei's face softened, and he took out the customs clearance document he had forged.
Seeing Zhong Lifei's name written on the paper, the middle-aged man no longer had doubts, and immediately changed his respectful attitude.
He first saluted Zhongli, then took out a box with a seal on it, and said, "This is something that a friend of yours asked me to give, please check." ”
After receiving the box, Zhongli Fei asked, "Which friend asked you to deliver the box?" ”
"I don't know." The middle-aged man shook his head.
"You came all the way, how could you not know?"
"He didn't say, and I couldn't ask."
Zhong Li Feijian frowned, and then asked the middle-aged man about the appearance of the person who sent the box.
When he heard the other party say that the person who delivered the box was a young man with a gorgeous dress and a square face and round ears, Zhong Lifei was even more surprised.
He thought about it for a long time, and he had no impression of this person in his mind.
Zhong Lifei suddenly sneered and shouted, "You don't even know what other people's names are, so you are so enthusiastic about helping people run errands, what is your intention?" ”
The middle-aged man immediately blushed, and said a little embarrassedly: "To tell you the truth, I am a boatman in Fengyi Country, and the young man paid two star coins three days ago and asked me to do this." So the villain rented a horse and rushed here, and has been waiting here for two days and two nights. ”
"Hehe, the salary is very high, next time there is such a good thing, you must introduce it to me."
As he spoke, Zhong Li Fei suddenly grabbed the other party's right hand.
"Ouch!"
The middle-aged man screamed in pain and lamented: "Zhongli is in charge, the villain really doesn't know anything!" I beg you, don't be angry with the villain, okay? ”
Zhong Lifei smiled slightly and let go of his hand.
At this time, he found out that the middle-aged man was an ordinary person without any cultivation, and the calluses in his hands also showed that the other party was not lying.
"It's none of your business here, let's go back early."
Zhong Lifei waved his hand and sent him away directly.
The middle-aged man thanked him for his kindness, got on his horse and ran away without a trace.
After inspecting the box for a long time and making sure that there was no hidden mechanism, Zhong Lifei removed the seal.
When opened, it contained an anonymous letter and two items.
There was only one sentence on the letter: On the fifteenth day of September, the Great Compassion Temple held a public trial meeting, hoping that the head of the family would gather at that time.
September 15 is the day after tomorrow, which means that Zhong Lifei can't catch up with the Great Compassion Temple within two days, so he can't participate in this grand event in time.
Seeing the contents of the letter, the Void Master was so angry that his beard trembled.
"Without the permission of the old man, the monks in the temple actually held a grand party, and they must be punished after they go back."
Looking at the two items again, there was a string of Buddhist beads and a short knife.
The Void Master picked up the Buddha bead and looked at it, and immediately said in surprise: "Isn't this the Buddha bead used by the old man, why did you send it over?" ”
Chu Fan also felt that the short knife was a little familiar, and after looking at it carefully for a long time, he suddenly exclaimed: "It's not good, this is the short knife that Senior Brother carries with him!" ”
"What did you say?"
Zhong Lifei was taken aback, his face gloomy like a dark cloud piling up in the sky.
It dawned on him what was going on.
Afterwards, Zhong Lifei let out a long sigh and said sadly: "It's not good, Li Fang has an accident, and the disciples of the Xuanwu Sect are more auspicious!" ”
Chu Fan's fists suddenly clenched, and his knuckles clicked.
He never dreamed that the enemy would be so despicable that he would actually kidnap many senior brothers as hostages to blackmail his master.
If nothing else, the Temple of Great Compassion has also fallen and become a trap to capture them.
What's worse is that Master is now seriously injured and can barely fight.
With just the three of them, it would be difficult to deal with the enemies they were about to face.
