Chapter 4: The Broken Temple
Chen Tang did not stay much in Yanzhou.
Along the way, I encountered some skirmishes, after all, I had cultivated to the eight-rank extreme realm, and most of the situations were able to deal with it, and there was no danger.
After Yanzhou, we traveled all the way west to Bingzhou.
It took nearly a month to walk from Pingzhou to Bingzhou.
As we move south, the weather warms up, the snow melts, and there is a hint of greenery around.
After entering the state, you can already see the green trees along the way, full of vitality.
Chen Tang was in a hurry during the day, rested at night, and by the way, he practiced Yi Jin's breathing and breathing method "Dragon Capture Gong", and when he entered Bingzhou, he had already cultivated to the seventh grade!
Through the accumulation of the two extreme realms, he has reached the strength of being able to open a nine-stone bow under the seven-rank level, which is comparable to the six-rank bottom!
Coupled with the blessing of sitting in the gods, under the five grades, Chen Tang basically did not panic.
On this day, not long after entering the state.
As soon as evening came, there were already dark clouds overhead, thunder rolling, and the sky seemed to be splashed with ink, and it was terrifyingly black.
Seeing that the heavy rain was coming, Chen Tang accelerated along the path.
Between the lightning and thunder, I faintly saw a ruined temple in front of me.
As the old saying goes, one person does not enter the temple, and two people do not look at the well.
For example, this kind of temple and Taoist temple located in the wilderness, especially in dilapidated places, are mostly temporary places for some people from the rivers and lakes, and even green forest robbers.
Ordinary people don't have much chance to go far in their lives.
Some people who go out normally, with customs clearance documents, will take the official road and enter the county inn to rest.
Most of the people who ran to the outskirts of the wilderness, in the temples deep in the mountains and old forests, did not have customs clearance documents, and they were not good people.
Some are carrying murder cases and are wanted from all over the world, and some are simply bandits who kill people and steal goods, like some kind of thief and thief, which is not bad.
The surrounding environment is remote and sparsely populated, and no one knows what is really going on.
Chen Tang is not afraid.
He's not a good either.
In Yanzhou before, there were many things that happened in the wilderness inns and wild temples, and he turned the danger into a disaster and retreated.
Of course, there are many times when nothing happens.
Chen Tang let the Hulei Leopard go, and before it rained, he entered the ruined temple.
Since the rise of the Xuantian Sect, these temples outside the Buddhist Gate have been abandoned a lot, and the same is true of this one in front of them.
The several Buddha statues enshrined are covered with spider silk dust.
Chen Tang stood at the gate of the ruined temple and looked around.
This dilapidated temple is not big, after entering the temple, you can see it at a glance.
In the northeast corner, a man leaned against the wall, dressed in coarse linen, sitting casually on the ground.
With his arms folded in front of his chest, a long sword in his arms, and a straw hat over his face, he couldn't see clearly, and he was sleeping as if no one was around.
Of course, there were still people in the temple.
In the northwest corner opposite, stood a tall young man, dressed in black, who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, with sword eyebrows and sideburns, and a heroic spirit, holding a straight spear in his hand.
Even though the wall was behind him, the boy did not stand against the wall.
If it weren't for Chen Tang coming in, this person's eyes rolled and looked over here, Chen Tang even thought that this young man was also a stone statue.
"Aren't you tired?"
Chen Tang really wanted to go up and say hello.
But after all, after walking the rivers and lakes for a month, I already have some experience, so don't be too rash when you don't know each other.
Seeing the young man looking towards him, Chen Tang bowed slightly, said hello, and walked towards the southeast corner on the right.
Generally, when you come to this kind of temple, the four corners are the first to be occupied.
After all, resting in the middle of the temple, with the wind on all sides, I can't help but feel a sense of insecurity in my heart.
Moments later, the rain poured down!
Thundered!
Thunder rolling.
Listening to the sound of heavy rain outside, Chen Tang closed his eyes and took a nap.
The young man in black was still standing with a gun, but his eyes were closed.
Chen Tang even doubted whether this young man knew how to sleep standing up.
At this moment, among the rain and thunder, there was also a panicked footsteps, running towards the ruined temple.
It didn't take long for a girl in white to run in in a panic, her clothes were soaked by the rain, she was panting, her head was already wet, and she was shivering slightly in the cold wind.
Chen Tang frowned slightly.
In this kind of ruined temple in the wilderness, it is a little strange that such a girl with bare hands and who seems to have no knowledge of martial arts at all.
The girl was sixteen or seventeen years old, with a fair face, extremely beautiful appearance, clear eyes, but a little dazed eyes, looking dull.
The girl in white entered the ruined temple, but she didn't look around like Chen Tang.
After standing in place for a while, he leaned in front of the shrine and found a cushion to sit down.
The girl in white bent her legs slightly, her arms clasped her knees, her chin resting on her knees, motionless, not knowing what she was thinking.
This girl doesn't seem to have much experience.
I don't seem to know that there are already three people in the temple.
If the three of them had bad intentions, this girl might have been more than lucky.
Of course, Chen Tang didn't have this mind.
The one in the northeast corner didn't move, and was still asleep.
The one in the northwest corner was still there like a spear.
It's best if everyone is safe.
After a while, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the ruined temple.
A moment later, five or six men came in briskly from outside, each with a sharp blade hanging from their waists, and their faces fierce and not looking like good people.
When several people saw the white-clothed girl in the middle of the broken temple, they were stunned for a moment.
The big man led by him observed, and then looked around, his eyes swept over Chen Tang, the straw hat man, and the black-clothed boy in turn, with a faint hint of warning in his eyes.
Chen Tang's eyes were half-open and half-closed, pretending not to see.
One person said: "Master Liu, you wait here for a while, let's go to the temple to see if there is any dry firewood or something." ”
"Tear down this shrine and burn it as dry wood."

The Liu helmsman pointed to the Buddhist shrine behind the girl.
A few people understood and came to the girl in white.
"Little girl, let Jean."
One said with a smile.
The girl in white didn't hear it, but still looked ahead with dull eyes.
"Hey!"
The man frowned and scolded, "Talking to you, did you hear me!" ”
The girl in white came back to her senses when she was shouted like this, and quickly stood up, hid aside, and looked at several big men with some cowardice.
Several people stepped forward, kicked the Buddha shrine with a few feet, and then took out the fire fold and raised a fire in the broken temple.
The fire was blazing, bringing a touch of light and warmth to the ruined temple.
Master Liu Duo and the others took out some dry food and cooked meat, warmed some wine, and sat around the fire to eat.
It seemed that seeing that Chen Tang and the others were quite peaceful, Liu Duozhu and the others gradually lowered their guard and chatted.
"I heard that the Fugui Villa near Qingcheng County was slaughtered, and no one was spared!"
"It should have been done by Wu Shanzhai."
"It must be them, except for the women under the age of twenty, the rest of the people, whether old or young, women and children, all killed, and there are no chickens and dogs left!"
"You said that this Wushanzhai is so arrogant, why didn't the government exterminate him?"
"Why don't you suppress it, it is resounded every year, claiming to go out to suppress bandits, and in the end, I don't know where to get a few heads and deal with things."
"Let me tell you this, like this kind of force, which has stood tall for many years, must be supported by a backer behind it!"
Through the small talk of these people, Chen Tang heard that these people were all from a gang called the North Wind Gang in Qingcheng County.
The Wushanzhai they talked about, Chen Tang also heard of it.
It is said that this Wushan cottage specializes in plundering women under the age of 20, and many people have suffered in counties and counties across the state.
In recent years, when the government suppressed bandits and collected salaries, it was huge, but in the end, it was all gone.
At this moment, the girl in white standing next to her suddenly rumbled in her stomach.
Liu Duo took a sideways look, and saw that the girl in white was secretly swallowing saliva, looking at the food in their hands, and there was a hint of brilliance in her eyes.
Lord Liu Helm said with a smile: "The little girl is hungry, why don't you come and eat some together?" ”
"I, I, can I?"
The girl in white swallowed her saliva and asked hesitantly, her voice was crisp and very pleasant.
The eyes of several people couldn't help but wander over the body of the girl in white.
The white-clothed girl's clothes were wet, and some places loomed, which made people think about it.
Lord Liu Helm smiled: "If you don't dislike it, come and eat together." ”
"Thank you, big brother."
The girl in white thanked her, sat down, and did not dislike it, took the dry food and cooked meat handed over by Lord Liu Helm, completely disregarded her image, and ate it in a big gulp.
It looks like I'm hungry.
"Have a drink?"
A few people coaxed and said, with a hint of strangeness in their eyes.
"Okay."
The girl in white smiled, took the wine glass, raised her head and took a big sip, and then seemed to be spicy, stuck out her tongue, and took a breath.
"Haha!"
A few people laughed.
Someone persuaded with bad intentions: "Drink more, my brothers have enough wine!" ”
The girl in white nodded as she ate.
Chen Tang frowned secretly.
Originally, he was still a little wary of this girl.
But now it seems that this girl has no experience in walking the rivers and lakes, and the things handed over by strangers are eaten when they say they will eat, and they don't doubt it at all.
The black-clothed young man who had closed his eyes also turned his head to look at it at this moment, his expression was cold, and there was a faint chill in his eyes.
Several people came to the girl in white and wanted to persuade them to drink, but they were stopped by Liu Duo with a wave of his hand.
"Forget it."
Lord Liu Helm shook his head slightly.
When several people saw Lord Liu Helm say this, they had no choice but to sit back stupidly.
Lord Liu Helm watched the girl in white eating happily, and couldn't help asking, "Why did you come to this broken temple alone, and what about your family?" ”
"I sneaked out on my own, and I got lost while walking."
The girl in white said.
Lord Liu was a little speechless.
Can it still be like this?
Master Liu Helm said again: "Our brothers' things, you can't eat them for nothing, you have to pay silver, you know?" ”
"Uh-huh."
The girl in white nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, I have money!" ”
"Huh?"
Lord Liu Duo's expression moved, and he asked, "How much silver do you have?" ”
"Three hundred taels!"
The girl in white raised three fingers proudly.
Ooh!
Liu Duo and the others were secretly frightened.
Three hundred taels is not a small amount.
Lord Liu's heart moved, and he said, "Do you know how much this meal costs?" ”
"How much?"
The girl in white asked.
Lord Liu Helm smiled: "Coincidentally, it's three hundred taels." ”
