Chapter 3: The Eve of the Storm

The claustrophobic space, even though it is a Buddha hall, still looks dark.

In the Daxiong Treasure Hall, at this time, it was empty, only one person sat in front of the Buddha, the brilliance in his eyes was dim, looking at the Buddha in front of him. With both hands hanging down on his knees, and holding a rosary in the other, he does not move, and he is very weak.

The knot did not move, like a statue, except for the occasional blink of an eyelid.

When the heavy hall door opened, an old monk walked in from outside the hall, came to the knot, sat down slowly, glanced at the person next to him, and sighed softly.

This old monk is the last one who has passed away, and he can be regarded as a senior brother who has ended.

The eyes of the world turned to the big Buddha sitting in front of him, and he spoke softly, and his voice echoed in the main hall: "As soon as I came in, I knew that today is the fifteenth, the so-called demon slayer, even if it is you, the heart ...... I'm afraid it's also messed up by three points. ”

At the end, he didn't say anything, he was still silent, looking at the kind and dignified Buddha, and didn't say a word.

The golden Buddha statue is graceful and magnanimous, and the expression is solemn, which makes people admire and admire its existence. But it's just a gilded mud bodhisattva, just a yearning, how can you really save sentient beings?

Seeing that he was silent, he spoke again: "I still remember that back then, you and Liguo, when the two of them first arrived at this Jinding Temple, they were still so high-spirited, they were young and in the prime of life. ”

"Looking at you now, but after more than ten years, you are as old as an old man, like an ancient person. With that, he turned his head to look, and then looked forward again.

"The old man knows that you have some concerns in your heart, but the old man doesn't know, what have you been doing for so many years?"

"Your mind is too heavy. ”

At this point, the end finally spoke, just a long sigh, and spit out two words: "Senior brother......"

Listening to the words of the end, the world slowly raised his palm, swayed gently towards the knot, and said: "You don't have to say, what you have to say, I understand, you just have to do it, don't worry about the old man and the dust." ”

The world continued: "Old man, and your senior brother Lichen, the two of us have said, although we don't know why, but over the years, we still know a little bit about what you have done. ”

"What you want to do, we don't know, we don't want to know. As for what you said not long ago, you said that you were going to hold a demon slaying conference and what your purpose was, we don't know even more. ”

The eyes of the world fell back to the Buddha statue, put his palms together, bowed to the Buddha, and continued: "But the two of me, I still understand, we want to believe that you are not the great evil person, and there must be a reason for you to do this." ”

The end sighed lightly: "Thank you for the understanding of the two senior brothers." ”

"We want you to understand that when the two of us gave you this presiding position, we trusted you. Even now, we have not regretted our decision in the slightest. The world whispered.

"Now, things have come to a critical juncture, although we believe in you, but also hope that you will not live up to our trust, do not destroy this thousand-year-old ancient temple, the inheritance of Buddhism. ”

As he spoke, both of them were silent, and the empty hall became silent again. After a long sigh, no one spoke again, silently closing their eyes, as if praying.

At the same time, a place near the Jinding Temple, which should be a mountain cliff.

There were a total of four people who appeared here, and standing in front were Xue Linglu and Xue Linshuang, two side by side. In front of these two people was an old man, and behind the old man, followed by a young man, who was slightly younger than Xue Linshuang.

The old man spoke first, and said respectfully: "Miss, young master, the two of you have come out, it's been long enough, it's time to go back." ”

Xue Linglu smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry, my father should have known about it." If you want me to go back, you have to be a brother, and you should set an example first. ”

As she spoke, Xue Linglu gestured with her eyes and glanced at Xue Linshuang, but Xue Linshuang did not speak.

Seeing the two of them like this, Qian Bo shook his head helplessly and gave up his plan to let the two go back.

He has watched these two children grow up since he was a child, what kind of temperament they have, Qian Bo knows it best, he knows it very well in his heart, even if he insists on it, it is useless.

Qian Bo immediately changed the topic and asked Xue Linglu: "Can Miss tell me about the situation of the Seven Star Gate that day?" Although the old slave investigated in many ways, it was not clear in the end. ”

Qian Bo stared and asked, "On the day when the Seven Star Gate grabbed the sword, can you go to the Moon God Palace?"

"Naturally, there is a go, how can those inferior women let go of such an opportunity?" Xue Linglu asked rhetorically.

"But the old slave heard that from the beginning to the end, no one has seen those women appear, doesn't this mean that those women have not appeared?"

"Didn't go?" Xue Linglu snorted coldly, "It's just that they didn't show up, and they didn't show up all the time, a group of cunning women." ”

Xue Linglu asked Qian Bo: "Qian Bo, I want to ask you, if I tell you that those women didn't go to the Seven Star Gate, are you willing to believe it?"

"Naturally, I don't believe it!"

Ever since you asked me, you must have had the answer in your heart. Xue Linglu said with a smile on her face.

Xue Linglu's words made Qian Bo ponder, his eyebrows became depressed, he lowered his head, bent his waist, fell into thought, and was silent.

Xue Linshuang on the side, listening to the conversation between the two, felt annoyed, frowned, and didn't want to continue these topics.

He held the jade flute in his hand, tapped it lightly on his cheek twice, his eyes fell on the young man behind the old man, and asked, "Qian Bo, who is this child?"

Qian Bo was still thinking about it, but when he heard Xue Linshuang's words, his eyebrows became stretched.

"Come, come here!" Qian Bo smiled and beckoned, motioned for the young man to come over, and introduced to Xue Linshuang: "This is the grandson of the old slave, called Yuze." The young master has been away for a long time, and he has just come here, so he doesn't know him, which is natural. ”

"This time, the old slave came on behalf of the master, and he also brought him with him on purpose to see more of the world. ”

The young man behind Chamber, with a quiet face, was originally standing quietly, but when he heard Chamber's words, he immediately stepped forward.

The eyes are clear, the hair is light, handsome and elegant, and there is a transcendent luck. With a smile on his face, it seems to be floating clouds and willow catkins, without a trace of fireworks.

Dressed in green clothes, like the mountains accumulating green, if the pine and bamboo are green, the eyes are full of warmth. The whole person is like a clear stream flowing, clear and ethereal, not touching the vulgarity of the world.

The bright moon in the mountains shines on the pine stream, and the sky and water are the same color and spring breeze.

The young man walked up to Qian Bo, bowed in the direction of Xue Linshuang, and said, "Childe." ”

Qian Bo continued: "Before, a man and a woman, and two children sent back to the mansion by the young master, this child, has been in charge*. ”

Hearing Qian Bo mention the two children, Xue Linshuang asked Qian Yuze: "What's the matter, those two children, are they okay?"

Qian Yuze replied: "Yu Gongzi, those two children are two good seedlings, both of whom are diligent and willing to learn. It's just that the boy's mind is too heavy and his scheming is too heavy, and if he encounters something in the future, he will inevitably go astray. ”

Xue Linshuang didn't pay attention to the content of his words, frowned and said to him: "Don't call me any son, it sounds weird." ”

Xue Linshuang held the jade flute in her hand, hugged her chest with the other hand, tapped her forehead twice, her eyes flashed, and said: "Just call me Linshuang, or if you want, call me brother, it's okay." ”

And Yu Ze was still respectful, and said, "Yes, Childe." ”

Qian Yuze's answer made Xue Linshuang frown again, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Qian Bo.

Qian Bo said: "The young master travels the world, and it is inevitable that he will encounter some unexpected situations, and it is not easy for the old slave to rescue. After that, let Yu Ze, the child, follow the young master, and there is also a messenger. ”

Without waiting for Xue Linshuang to answer, Xue Linglu smiled and grabbed the words: "Uncle Qian is not ignorant, a few years ago, my father said that he would arrange a few people for his brother, saying that he was helping, but in fact he was spying. ”

"Does Qian Bo really think that with his brother's temperament, he will agree?"

"I agreed. Xue Linshuang whispered, smiling lightly at the corner of her mouth.

Xue Linshuang agreed so readily, but it surprised Xue Linglu, and she was a little suspicious. She frowned, turned her head to look, opened her mouth, and only spit out two words: "Brother......"

Seeing Xue Linshuang nodding so easily, Qian Bo was surprised, suspecting that he was old and had heard it wrong. In fact, he just said it casually, and he didn't report any hope at all.

But soon, Chamber's wrinkled face showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time. Today is really an unexpected joy, the master has assigned a task for several years, and he has done it coldly.

Qian Bo said with a happy face: "This is very good!"

Immediately, Qian Bo instructed Qian Yuze: "Yuze, after this demon slaying conference, you will follow the young master, and you must protect the young master's thoughtfulness." ”

"Yes, Yu Ze understands. ”

At this time, Xue Linglu said, "Okay, it's not too early, Uncle Qian, let's go in the direction of Jinding Temple." Is it still arranged?"

Qian Bo replied: "Everything has been arranged, the people in the mansion have already entered in batches, and at this moment, they should have been distributed all over the Jinding Temple. ”

"Then let's go, Jinding Temple, this time, it's going to be lively again!" Xue Linshuang waved his jade flute and strode in the direction of Jinding Ancient Temple.

At the same time, the Jinding Ancient Temple, the compound.

In the middle of the noisy crowd, Han Xuanming, Le Kang, and Jiang Yiming stood together.

Not long ago, Han Xuanming's words shocked the two of them, and they couldn't calm down for a long time.

Han Xuanming actually said that this demon slaughter conference was a massacre that had been brewing for a long time, and everyone present was afraid that they would not be able to escape. What Han Xuanming said was undoubtedly shocking news.

Looking at the two people opposite, with surprised expressions, Han Xuanming explained: "I learned this news from a holy monk in Jinding Temple, and there will be no mistake. ”

Le Kang pondered, and then said, "Do you want to kill everyone?

Han Xuanming knew a little bit about the purpose of the end, the reason why he killed people, desperately, and killed so many big people who came here was to use that huge energy to maintain the vitality of the entire White Deer Peak.

But Han Xuanming didn't say these words directly, but said to Lekang and Jiang Yiming: "I tell you this because I want you to prepare early, so as not to lose your lives in vain." ”

Jiang Yiming stared at the sky, couldn't help but look up at the sky, and said, "If what Senior Brother said is true, after today, this day, I'm afraid it will really change!"

"In this way, it is a good time for my Seven Star Gate to rise!" Jiang Yiming unconsciously clenched his fists.

Le Kang smiled helplessly: "Let's save my life first!"

At this moment, in the far sky, lightning and thunder roared, and several blood-colored thunderbolts pierced the sky.
