The night is sky, and the moon and stars are scarce.

The gentle breeze swept away the thin clouds, ever-changing, like a veil of mist. The bright moonlight pours on the earth, charming and beautiful, like a dream.

Liu Xunyi, dressed in black, left the Long'an Inn unknowingly, lurked out of the city, and went straight west to the Luohan Temple.

Luohan Temple is an ancient temple, the scale is not large, and there are only three courtyards before and after. In the temple gate, there is the Tianwang Hall in the first courtyard, there is the Luohan Hall in the second courtyard, and the third courtyard is the Zen residence of Wu.

There is an open-air dharma field covering an area of five acres outside the Luohan Hall. The Wu Zen residence in the back is built along the mountain, and dozens of Zen rooms are built one after another, for the monks in the Luohan Temple and the pilgrims from outside to rest.

Although it is an ancient temple, but in recent years, due to the continuous war, the incense is gradually declining, and now it is three years to not be able to come to a good man and woman, so the monks in the temple are still vulgar, and the tour of the party. I don't know when, this place has become a deserted temple and cool courtyard.

Today's Luohan Temple only has one old monk over seventy years old, every day the soup is less water, chanting the Buddha into the determination, cleaning the temple inside and outside the temple every three or five times, and the days without fighting with the world are also quite clean.

Half an hour later, Liu Xunyi came to the front of the mountain gate, only to see the temple gate wide open, looking at the temple is dark, all the sounds are silent, and there is no one to see.

Stepping over the threshold that was more than a foot high, Liu Xunyi quickly put his figure to the side of the gatehouse, slowed down his pace, and cautiously walked towards the temple. After resting for a while, after repeatedly confirming that there was no one around, he took an arrow step directly across the courtyard, and flew up sharply on the steps in front of the Heavenly King's Palace.

As soon as he entered the Heavenly King Palace, a quiet fragrance suddenly came to his nose, which made Liu Xunyi's heart condense.

Raise your eyes, but see the palace of the heavenly kings, the four heavenly kings are divided left and right, due north is the positive and negative mud fetal body of Maitreya and Vedus, but the four heavenly kings and the two Buddha statues have now become mottled, and the original color can no longer be seen, and even the eyes, ears, mouth and nose are in disrepair for a long time, and they have become a little blurred. On the offering platform in front of Maitreya Buddha, there are three high incense sticks diagonally inserted in the broken incense burner at this moment.

The cigarette smoke curls and disperses with the wind, and the strange fragrance that permeates the hall comes from this.

"Someone actually put incense?" Liu Xunyi was shocked, and hurriedly looked around left and right, but saw that it was pitch black all around, and he couldn't notice any life at all.

The so-called entering the temple to worship God, Liu Xunyi broke into the middle of the night and was unfair, so he jumped down and knelt down in front of the Buddha statue, and whispered quite devoutly: "Ask for forgiveness in the middle of the night, and hope to forgive your sins!"

"If you know it's an interruption, why does the donor want to come?"

Suddenly, an old and hoarse voice sounded at the foot of the wide-eyed Heavenly King Sculpture, there was no candle flame in the Heavenly King Palace, only relying on the moonlight reflected in the window, the light was already very weak, and the feet of the Heavenly King Sculpture were even darker. If it weren't for someone suddenly speaking, Liu Xunyi really didn't know that there was a person hidden there.

"Who is it?" Liu Xunyi's frightened body was agitated, and he rolled backwards, and at the same time, the sword also came out of its sheath, and the blade of the sword pointed directly at the darkness in the distance.

"The person who should ask this sentence should be the poor monk, the donor came late at night and disturbed the poor monk's dream, how could he ask the poor monk who he was?"

As the old man's voice slowly sounded, Liu Xunyi vaguely saw that at the foot of the statue of the Heavenly King, a vague figure was slowly sitting up. Through the hazy moonlight, Liu Xunyi could barely tell that it was an old monk in a shabby monk's robe with a white beard.

"It turned out to be a senior monk in this temple, and he dared to disturb him, and he hoped to forgive his sins!" Liu Xunyi saw the appearance of the old monk, and was very surprised in his heart, with his martial arts, he didn't notice that there was someone in the hall just now, and he couldn't help but add some respect to this simple-looking old monk, and hurriedly put away the sword, and apologized, "The younger generation came without malice, just wanted to ......"

"Since the donor has no intention, then please leave quickly!" The old monk interrupted Liu Xunyi's greetings and said lightly, "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform." Where did the donor come from, go back!"

Liu Xunyi didn't expect the old monk to suddenly issue an expulsion order, so he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and apologized while retreating out: "Dare to ask the senior monk, is there anyone else in this temple?"

Rao is Liu Xunyi asked again and again, but the only thing that responded to him was a deathly silence.

Liu Xunyi slowly took a few steps back, and then suddenly jumped out of an arrow step, quickly bypassed the Buddha statue, and jumped out from the back door of the Heavenly King Palace.

Not long after Liu Xunyi left the Heavenly King Palace, a faint sigh suddenly came from the dark hall.

"Could it be that the old monk who is said to be sticking to the Luohan Temple?" Liu Xunyi thought back to the old monk he had seen just now, and chuckled to himself, "The old man is afraid that he is not young, even if there is really an outsider hiding in the temple, I am afraid that he will not be aware of it, I better not disturb his old man again." ”

In the blink of an eye, Liu Xunyi has passed through the porch of the second courtyard, and the first thing that catches his eye is a shadow wall engraved with Sanskrit, although Liu Xunyi does not know Sanskrit, but he can feel a strong solemn and serious meaning from the vigorous and powerful pen body on the wall. Standing in front of the shadow wall, people can't help but feel awe, and even a master like Liu Xunyi subconsciously pauses slightly.

The scriptures on the shadow wall are like a pen walking dragon and snake, just like a drifting phoenix, and there is no stiffness and dullness in the slightest carving, but more like someone wrote it with a pen in one go.

As soon as this strange idea came up, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but laugh at himself: "How can someone use a hard wall as paper to write these strange words?

Behind the shadow wall is the open-air dharma field, the square brick paved ground has now become potholes, and many withered yellow weeds have grown savagely in the brick joints, which looks very desolate.

Just as Liu Xunyi was carefully looking left and right, he suddenly found that in the middle of the Dharma field at this moment, there was actually a pillar standing impressively, and there seemed to be a figure tied to the pillar.

"That's ...... Cao Gongzi?" Liu Xunyi saw that the costume that the man was wearing was quite gorgeous, but his head was drooping, motionless, like a dead corpse. Liu Xunyi's heart sank suddenly, and he quickly looked around left and right, and then rushed towards the middle of the law field quickly.

Just after Liu Xunyi hurriedly rushed out of dozens of meters, his eyes changed suddenly, and he hurriedly stopped, and secretly shouted: "Not good!" At the same time, he turned around and retreated without hesitation.

However, at the moment when Liu Xunyi turned around, the originally dark and lonely law field suddenly lit up one after another, and then I saw more than a dozen fierce swordsmen, each holding torches high, and pressing towards Liu Xunyi with a cruel smile on their faces.

These people seem to have been ambushed a long time ago, and as soon as they appeared, they formed a situation of encircling Liu Xunyi.

The torch illuminated the Dharma field as bright as day, Liu Xunyi turned his head angrily, and looked at the figure tied to the pillar, but saw that the pillar was clearly tied to a straw dummy wearing clothes.

"Whoosh!"

A whistle suddenly sounded in the air, and Liu Xunyi hurriedly raised his sword to guard against it, but saw a meteor arrow glowing with fire shooting from the night sky, and finally landed on the scarecrow, and a raging fire ignited with a "Teng" sound.

"Foolish Song Dog! Lao Tzu has been waiting for you for a long time!"

With a sinister sneer, I saw several big men from the Western Regions striding out of the Luohan Hall, and the strong man who walked in the front was the one who insulted Liu Xunyi on the street that day.

"Sure enough, it's you!" Liu Xunyi stared at the swordsmen around him with cold eyes, and said coldly, "You kidnapped Cao Qin's son?"

Although Liu Xunyi is calm and calm on the surface, in fact, his heart is extremely uncalm at the moment. What made him most anxious was not that he had been ambushed, but that he couldn't figure out why he had been ambushed? His plan had never been mentioned in front of anyone from beginning to end, so how did these people from the Western Regions know about it in advance and set up an ambush in advance?

At this moment, Liu Xunyi suddenly recalled that he had just been in the Heavenly King Palace, and the old monk advised him to go back wherever he came from. Now I suddenly understood that the real intention of those words was actually to save his life. It's a pity that Liu Xunyi was stupid and failed to comprehend the deep meaning of the old monk's words, and he was imprisoned.

"Liu Xunyi, why do you always like to destroy other people's good deeds?"

Suddenly, a rather pleasant laughter came from Luohan Hall, and then I saw Xun Qin, who was dressed in a white dress, accompanied by Abaolu, slowly appeared in front of Liu Xunyi.

"Is that you?"

When Liu Xunyi saw Xun Qin, his mind was suddenly confused, but he quickly reacted, and sighed rather unpleasantly in his heart: "They are just puppets, and you are the real mastermind behind the scenes." In fact, when I saw you as early as Huo Du, I should have thought that your appearance was not a coincidence......"

"Are we a narrow road?"

Seeing Liu Xunyi's remorseful appearance, Xun Qin couldn't help but show a satisfied smile, a pair of clear and bright eyes stared at Liu Xunyi with bad intentions, and asked suspiciously: "Should I still say it...... You always like to ruin other people's good deeds, that's why you have this retribution today?"

"What do you want?" Liu Xunyi carefully guarded the knife hand behind him, the sword in his hand clenched a little tighter again, and looked around, waiting for an opportunity to break through.

Xun Qinwan'er smiled, pretending to be shy, and said softly to Liu Xunyi: "I don't want to do anything, I just want to tease you, humiliate you, torture you, and finally ...... Kill you. Xun Qin seemed to like this feeling of teasing Liu Xunyi, which gave her a sense of revenge.

I think that in the thick fog of Yanmen Pass, Liu Xunyi took advantage of the chaos to rescue Jia Shilang, and felt how angry Xun Qin was that he had been fooled? Today, she closed the door and beat the dog, which can be regarded as a great revenge.

"If you're not afraid of death, just come and try!" Liu Xunyi's face was fearless, and he said in a condensed voice.

"Don't worry, I know you're a master, otherwise you wouldn't have the courage to come to Huodu alone. Xun Qin chuckled slowly, "I'm just curious, which adult did you come on order this time?"

As soon as Xun Qin's words came out, Liu Xunyi suddenly felt shocked. The "adult" in Xun Qin's words is already very obvious, if she is allowed to continue, Liu Xunyi's true identity will be exposed, and his situation will be even more dangerous than now.

Liu Xunyi did not answer directly, but had an idea, and asked rhetorically, "How do you know that I will come here tonight?"

"How difficult can it be to know your whereabouts?" replied Xun Qin with a smirk, "Actually, I don't just know that you will be here tonight, but also when you came to Huodu, where did you stay, what did you do, and even what you ate? By the way, I almost forgot to introduce you to a friend. ”

After that, Xun Qin lightly slapped his palm twice, and a wide and fat figure flashed in the Luohan Hall, and when the person approached, Liu Xunyi was stunned for a moment.

The person who came was actually the shopkeeper of the grain shop who happened to have a one-sided relationship when he said goodbye to Lao Xu in Fuhe Grain Village today.

"Are you...... The big shopkeeper of Fuhe Grain Village?" Liu Xunyi looked at the man in surprise and said in disbelief, "How could you ...... with her?"

"He is not only the chief shopkeeper of Fuhe Grain Village, but also the chief shopkeeper of the Long'an Inn where you live. Xun Qin smiled and said, "When you have been here for a long time, you must have heard the name of the richest man in Huodu City, 'Master Long', right?"

"Master Dragon, he's the Dragon King?"
