In the early morning of the next day, when Zhao Xin, who had just woken up from a big dream, couldn't help but be shocked when she saw Li Haitang, who had never known her life, Liu Xunyi hurriedly introduced it, and lied that Li Haitang was her "friend" in the rivers and lakes.

As for Li Haitang's true identity and the relationship between him and Liu Xunyi, Liu Xunyi did not explain too much to Zhao Xin, so as not to annoy her in vain.

Knowing that Li Haitang was a friend rather than an enemy, Zhao Xin's heart was firmly settled. After all, a turmoil in Yunya Town made her very sensitive to strangers.

The appearance of Li Haitang undoubtedly brought a lot of convenience to Liu Xunyi, who had not recovered from his injuries, and Zhao Xin, who was weak. The three of them walked together in the vast Qinling Mountains, in order to avoid being chased and killed by the man in black, they did not dare to go over the mountain avenue, but picked some remote paths to detour north.

Because Liu Xunyi reminded again and again last night, in front of Zhao Xin today, Li Haitang only said some irrelevant or absurd jokes to make Zhao Xin happy, but did not mention anything about the Yunya Town bloody case, Xu Guangsheng's rebellion and the tense situation in Song and Mongolia.

Li Haitang is very clever and very good at observing words and feelings, which topics can arouse the interest of Liu Xunyi and Zhao Xin, and which topics will violate taboos, he can test it clearly in a few words.

On this trip, he was only ordered to protect Liu Xunyi, and had no other purpose, so he didn't have any crooked thoughts, and he wouldn't give people a feeling of disgust with a honey-bellied sword.

came and went, the three people of the same age gradually became acquainted, and Li Haitang even became Liu Xunyi and Zhao Xin's "pistachio", gushing about some bizarre anecdotes from morning to night, which made Zhao Xin both surprised and curious, and couldn't help but get to the bottom of it.

As long as Liu Xunyi can see Zhao Xin's relaxed appearance of forgetting her troubles and laughing, she thinks that everything is worth it. As for Li Haitang making up some anecdotes about the rivers and lakes, he won't believe it, but he won't expose it, but he will accompany Zhao Xin to be surprised, nervous, and laugh together......

Li Haitang relied on a shocking archery technique, shooting some birds and beasts in the mountains and forests is as easy as a breeze, which makes Liu Xunyi and Zhao Xin feast their eyes and mouths at the same time, and many game meat are the first time in their lives.

It is worth mentioning that Zhao Xin was deeply impressed by Li Haitang's amazing archery, so she often expressed admiration in her laughter after eating and drinking. Liu Xunyi pretended to be "unconvinced" and indignant, and had to test his archery skills with Li Haitang in front of Zhao Xin, although he also had no arrows, but compared to Li Haitang's "one arrow and two eagles" or even "one arrow and three eagles", Liu Xunyi's archery was overstretched and dwarfed.

Zhao Xin happily wrote down the results of each arrow for the two, and announced the winner or loser in a matter-of-fact manner, which made Liu Xunyi unwilling, and shouted that he wanted to compete with Li Haitang in other martial arts. Li Haitang saw that the situation was not good, so he pretended to be aggrieved and begged for mercy again and again.

The two "pretended" to perform hard, and Zhao Xin laughed heartily, and even clapped her hands.

In the face of major rights and wrongs, Zhao Xin can accept his fate with the sky, and even understand the righteousness more than Liu Xunyi. But in daily life, she has been very simple since she was a child. Today's unreserved, undignified, and undignified "frolic" is simply unimaginable in her previous life.

Between the red flowers and willows and green, on the bank of the clear water and green mountains, the three of Liu Xunyi are as carefree as playing in the mountains and waters, laughing and laughing, but they are very happy.

It's a pity that the happier and more comfortable the days, the faster and more rapid the passage becomes. On the contrary, the difficult and difficult life is like a year, and it is difficult to endure every inch.

Two days later, after many twists and turns, the three of them finally walked out of the Qinling Mountains and successfully found the Faryu Temple located at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains.

In the evening, when the figure of Liu Xunyi and the three appeared outside the mountain gate, a little monk who was sweeping the floor in front of the temple gate couldn't help but be stunned, and then his eyes changed, and he hurriedly threw down the broom and hurriedly greeted them.

"Amitabha!" the little monk clasped his hands together, quite polite, "dare to ask the three donors from the south?"

With just one word, Liu Xunyi expected that Su He and Feng Tianba had arrived at Faryu Temple and informed the monks in the temple of their situation, so the little monk would have this question.

Thinking of this, Liu Xunyi no longer went around in circles, and said bluntly: "We are from Yunya Town, and we have made a special trip to visit Master Konghui. ”

Hearing this, the little monk's eyes suddenly froze, and then he looked Liu Xunyi and the three of them up and down, and hesitated: "But the master said that there are only two donors from the south......

"This is a friend we met halfway through. Liu Xunyi pointed at Li Haitang and said, "Dare to ask the little master, have they arrived?"

"Sure enough, it's a friend of Lord Su Shi!" the little monk suddenly realized, and at the same time his face was happy, "Lord Su Shi and Master Feng Shi have arrived at the temple this morning, and they are now discussing Zen with the master in the temple. Three donors, please!"

Under the guidance of the little monk, Liu Xunyi and the three of them walked into Horyu Temple and went straight to the meditation room.

This is an ancient temple with a long history, and every brick and tile, bottle and jar in the temple all reveal the simple charm. But the scale of the temple is not large, only two courtyards in the front and back, and there is a side courtyard on the left and right sides of the second courtyard. There are only a few Buddhist halls, meditation rooms, and monks' houses together, and there are only six monks from top to bottom.

"Bang ......"

"Squeak!"

The little monk wanted to raise his hand to knock on the door, but the closed door was suddenly pulled open. Immediately afterwards, Su He, who was full of joy, and Feng Tianba, who was scarred, broke out of the room one after another.

"I heard footsteps in the distance, and I guessed you had arrived!"

Su He looked Liu Xunyi and Zhao Xin up and down, and when he saw that Zhao Xin was safe and sound, his slightly nervous face gradually eased, and at the same time, a strong sense of relief appeared in his eyes.

He first bowed respectfully to Zhao Xin, and then looked at Liu Xunyi with a grateful gaze, and said in a low voice: "Brother Liu, I really didn't see the wrong person!"

Su He's words have a deep meaning, others can't hear it, but Liu Xunyi understands it.

It seems that Su He is not completely sure whether Liu Xunyi will take advantage of the chaos to take Zhao Xin. Therefore, when he saw Zhao Xin appear in front of him, he was both moved and ashamed in his heart. What moved Liu Xunyi was that he was trustworthy and did not put himself in an unkind and unrighteous situation. I am ashamed that I have doubts about Liu Xunyi, even if there is only the slightest suspicion.

"If it weren't for Brother Su blocking those murderous pursuers for us, how could the little brother get out easily?" Liu Xunyi knew Su He's thoughts, so he showed him a tacit smile.

"The princess is safe, it is really a great blessing for Meng Song!" Su He looked at Zhao Xin with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. At the same time, his afterglow inadvertently swept to Li Haitang on the side, and he was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "This friend is ......"

"Brother Su, this is Li Haitang, and he is also the one who secretly released arrows to save us in Yunya Town!"

"Li Haitang......" Su He frowned slightly, muttering to himself, as if trying to remember something, "I seem to have heard this name somewhere......"

"Su Daxia may have heard my name from the mouth of Lord Yan Ling. Li Haitang recommended himself, "The Holy Lord of Longxiang Mountain is a friend of Lord Yan Ling, and I had the honor to visit Lord Yan Ling at the Kyushu Inn in Fengzhou with my master. At that time, Su Daxia was seriously injured because he was in the Qin Mansion in Hexi, so he was not present. I have also seen many heroes in Mobei, such as Long Yu, Hu Zhen, Huo Biao, Qiu Yan, etc., all of whom are heroes who stand up to the sky and are famous, but they only have no chance to see the style of 'Mobei's first fast knife', which is really a great pity. Today, I am fortunate to meet the leading figures in the heroes of Mobei, and I am fortunate to be in the next three lives......!

"Yes. Su He suddenly came to his senses and nodded again and again, "You are the personal disciple of Tang Xuan, the 'Ghost Hand Rakshasa', and the Ling Lord has praised Brother Li more than once, saying that your archery skills are unique in the world and unparalleled in the world. ”

"Lord Yan Ling has an overreputation, and he is ashamed. ”

"It turned out that the person who saved us in Yunya Town three days ago was Brother Li, and I also told Brother Liu at that time that once I found this person, I would thank him for saving his life. I can't believe that God is so kind to let me see you so soon. As for this, Su He looked very good, and then clasped his fists with both hands, and bowed deeply towards Li Haitang, "Brother Li, please accept Su Mou's worship first......

"I can't help it!" Li Haitang was shocked, hurriedly supported Su He with both hands, and said humbly, "Su Daxia's worship, I can't afford it, I just ...... happened to pass through Yunya Town, and the road was uneven and came to help. ”

Li Haitang did not inform Su He of his true purpose, one was unnecessary, and the other was not wanting to cause extraneous branches.

In this regard, Liu Xunyi has no objection.

"What a 'help when the road is uneven', Brother Li is really a true hero who is chivalrous and courageous!" Su He looked at Li Haitang with admiration in his eyes, and said, "As the saying goes, 'the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring', Brother Li's kindness Su remembers it in his heart, if he has a place to get Su in the future, even if he speaks, as long as it does not violate the morality of the rivers and lakes, Su will not refuse!"

"If I can get Su Daxia's promise, I can make Liu Xunyi owe me a favor, I'm afraid there are not many people in the entire rivers and lakes who have this honor, right?"

"Haha......"

Accompanied by Li Haitang's banter, Su He, Liu Xunyi, and Feng Tianba couldn't help but glance at each other, and laughed out loud.

"There is no wine and no meat in the pure land of Buddhism, otherwise I will definitely get drunk with a few people tonight!" Su He said enthusiastically, "Come, I will introduce you to Master Konghui, the host of the temple." By the way, Brother Liu, two of your old friends just came to the temple!"

"Old friend?" Liu Xunyi was stunned and hesitated, "Who is it?"

"Go in and find out!"

Accompanied by Su He's hearty laughter, the apprehensive Liu Xunyi followed Zhao Xin, Feng Tianba, and Li Haitang into the meditation room.

The candles in the meditation room were dim, two old monks sat cross-legged, and a young monk waited aside.

The old monk sitting on the main seat has a rickety figure, white eyebrows and white beard, his face is full of wrinkles, his eyes are cloudy and slightly unfocused, as if he is old. This person is the host of this Horyu Temple, and he is also Su He's old friend, Master Konghui.

Sitting opposite Kong Hui was a monk full of spirit and dignified physique, through his long breath and deep and bright eyes, the discerning person could see at a glance that this was a martial arts practitioner.

Standing aside was a young monk with a sincere attitude and respectful demeanor. Looking at his serious, cautious and humble appearance, it seems that he is carefully listening to the teachings of the two seniors.

In Su He's mouth, Liu Xunyi's "old friends" are the two monks except Kong Hui.

One is an elder of the Shaolin Dharma Academy, and he has a bitter fate. The other is the number one master among the young generation of Shaolin, Wu Zen.
