The four black-clothed guards were alert, and the gray-robed figure suddenly appeared, making their already tight strings even tighter for a while.

Four people, four fast swords, suddenly unsheathed.

At the same time, the fast sword enveloped the gray-robed man, turning into a web woven by sword light in an instant.

I saw that the gray-robed man fanned his wide sleeves up and down, left and right in the sword net, and his figure moved back slightly, and without seeing how hard he used, he easily floated down beyond the range of the sword net.

The four black-clothed guards were about to drive their swords forward, but they were stopped by a middle-aged woman.

"Slow down!"

Only then did they see that the person who had invisibly passed a trick turned out to be an old monk, dressed in a gray monk's robe, with an old face, but his body was extremely vigorous.

When he saw the master, he quickly ran over, up and down, left and right, and looked up and down and left and right several times.

Then he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Master's okay......"

Master Wu'an shook his sleeves, his eyes swept over the four guards, Yun Niang and the young man, and he was not angry because the four of them used their swords for no reason.

"I don't know what difficulties have you encountered, why are you so vigilant?"

Yun Niang's eyebrows were deeply locked, and she looked at the other side of the pontoon, still with a look of fear in her eyes.

"The master is the abbot of the Lotus Temple on the mountain?"

Master Wu'an smiled and nodded, "Exactly, the Dharma name is Wu'an......"

The woman saw that the master was kind and kind, even if his subordinates killed him with a sword without asking, he did not have a trace of anger, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty: "Master mercy, our master and servant are being chased and killed, and we finally escaped here, so we can temporarily avoid those wicked people, they are also loyal to the lord, and I ask the master to forgive me for my reckless actions!"

Seeing that although the woman was wearing coarse linen clothes, her speech and demeanor were elegant, and her expression did not seem to be lying, so he couldn't help but say: "I can't imagine that murderers are so bold and reckless now......

"Since you were hunted down, if you leave here, will you have a place to stay?"

Yun Niang shook her head gloomily, and then led the young man to her side, her eyes were full of love, she didn't speak, she knelt directly in front of the master, and let the young man kneel down too.

The four black-clothed guards panicked for a while, and hurriedly said: "Yun Niang, what kind of identity do you and the little master ......?"

Yun Niang laughed miserably and said, "Ah Daxiu is rude, since we have fallen into such a field, what ...... is not an identity?"

Then she looked up at Master Wu'an, and bowed deeply, and when the thin boy saw his mother bowing down, he also bowed down in front of the master.

"Amitabha, why do you need to be like this, Madame, please hurry up, just say what you have to say!" Master Wu'an folded his hands and said.

Yun Niang refused to get up, and the four black-clothed guards had to kneel down as well.

"Master, your Dharma cultivation is profound, and natural compassion is ......."

She continued with tears in her eyes: "But the people chasing and killing behind me are not only cruel, but also extremely strong in martial arts, and the idle people are not opponents, and the little woman does not dare to hope that the master can save me and a few others, but I just want to see that my child is still young, and the years to come will be long, to save his life, I will immediately lead the four of them away, so as not to invite the disaster of killing......"

At this point, she couldn't stop crying, and fell down deeply.

"Amitabha Buddha ......" Master Wu'an's eyes showed compassion, and he couldn't help but be moved by the woman's words.

"Female donor, please get up quickly, the Buddha is merciful, if there is no better place to go, you can take refuge in the temple for the time being, although the old monk does not know what kind of person those people are chasing and killing, but he will never let you wait to be innocently killed......"

Yun Niang saw that Master Wu'an's words were very sincere, if she and the others walked out of here, most of them would also die in a foreign land, and maybe there were more terrible things to know, she couldn't bear to leave the young man to live alone in the world, so she had to follow what the master said, and temporarily avoid chasing and killing in the temple together.

......

Four black-clothed guards retrieved the body from the lake, and Luo Bei learned that it was also their companion, who died of his injuries while absconding, and fell into the water to die.

Together, they buried the deceased in an inconspicuous shade, and the ritual of saying goodbye to the deceased was simple but strange, pricking their fingers with their fast swords and dripping blood in front of the grave.

I don't know why, Luo Bei actually saw the envy of the deceased in the eyes of the four guards when they said goodbye to their companions, as well as the boredom of being alive.

Naturally, he wouldn't ask how many people had gone through and why they showed such emotions?

Each of these people has a Qingfeng fast sword in their hands, and they cooperate with each other very tacitly, and even their every move is obviously the result of long-term training.

Master Wu'an promised to take in and shelter these people, but he didn't ask where these people came from, but Luo Bei could see that they were probably all soldiers, or at least had been well trained in the army.

Bidding farewell to their dead companions, they never left Yun Niang and the boy, and even the residence was arranged in the bedroom on the fourth floor of the glazed tower.

......

In the main hall, all the monks were gathered, and they all looked anxious.

The second senior brother Guanhai is usually easy to be impatient, but at this moment, in front of all the senior brothers, he is pacing back and forth, and there are clouds between his eyebrows.

Because of the return of Master Wu'an, the anxiety that gradually subsided was covered with a gloomy mood by a few sudden "uninvited guests".

"Guanhai, you be quiet, all the junior disciples are watching!" Guanyun finally couldn't help but say.

Guanhai stopped, stared at the senior brother, and said: "Master doesn't know where those people came from or what they do, so he will take them into the temple.

Guanyun couldn't help but cool down when he heard the meaning of some blame for the master in his words, although he was usually very peaceful with his junior disciples, but at the critical time, as long as he said a few words of reproach, it was even better than Master Wu'an's words.

"You seem to be reproaching Master?"

"Don't you even want the compassion that Master taught you for your own safety?"

His eyes were as hot as the sun scanned the crowd, and they all lowered their heads unconsciously.

"I think everyone should still vaguely remember which of us is not the Master, his old man was picked up and raised in the ruins, and now the Master wants to save others with the same compassion, everyone should have such an attitude!"

He shook his head, his eyes full of disappointment.

"It's a disappointment for you to do this......"

Guanhai lowered his head, knowing that he had a gaffe just now, and he didn't dare to contradict the senior brother, so he had to admit his mistake and said: "Senior brother, the junior brother is at fault, everything is ...... according to the master's orders."

Guanyun nodded and said: "I have been practicing with the master for many years with all the junior disciples, although the cultivation is not comparable to the master, but this compassion should still be there, I remember that when I went to the Infinite Valley with the master to give a lecture on the scriptures, the monk who set Zen and cultivation in one once said, the monk is self-conscious, the monk is human, and the Buddha purifies all sentient beings......"

"This is probably the reason why we have not been able to improve our cultivation, it is said that only monks who are as thorough as a Buddha in Zen can reach the realm of nirvana and even silence!"

Hearing the remarks of the senior brother, everyone was silent, of course those high and profound realms are what everyone yearns for, but they also know that such a realm of great enlightenment is rare in a lifetime.

"Guanyun, everyone has arrived, right?" Master Wu'an asked with a smile on his face as he stood in front of the main hall at some point.

Guanyun nodded to the master and said, "Master, according to what you said, I have gathered all the senior brothers here......"

"Master......" Guanhai felt a little guilty for his reckless words just now, and only screamed and lowered his head again.

Master Wu'an looked kindly at each disciple he had raised over the years, and his eyes were full of reluctance.

His gaze grew firm again as he saw the last and youngest disciple kill.

"Children, who became a monk at the age of twelve, practiced in front of the Buddha for 60 years, and have seen too many worldly gatherings and dispersions in their lives, and thought that all this has long been ignored, but to this day, they are still moved...... It really shouldn't, shouldn't ......"

"Originally, I also had a trace of luck in my heart, and I also looked forward to renewing some opportunities with you children, and when I sat in front of the Buddha, I was still surrounded by you, which must be a blessing in my life...... But now that the war is going on, I am determined to leave those few donors who have escaped from the pursuit, so that I will not be able to live in peace with you and others, and from now on, you will ...... Let's go away!"

As soon as Master Wu'an finished speaking, Guanyun on the side immediately knelt down in front of the master and said sadly: "Master, my junior disciples and I have been taken in and raised by Master since childhood, and we have never left Master over the years, let alone stepped out of this temple, if you want to drive us away, where can we go?"

Guanhai also knelt down and crawled in front of the master on his knees, and said in a trembling voice: "It's the disciple who shouldn't talk nonsense, it's all the disciple's fault, please don't dare us to go......"

Old Seventeen and Kill both blinked their eyes with tears in their eyes, looking at the senior brother beside them for a while, and then at the master, not knowing what to do for a while.

Master Wu'an patted the two eldest disciples and said, "You two are the oldest, not only have to care for the other juniors at all times, but also set an example in front of them, don't you really understand the painstaking work of being a teacher?"

The master's words were still soft, but to their ears, they sounded like thunder.

The two disciples knelt in front of the master's knees, and at this moment, even if they had been practicing for many years, they couldn't help but burst into tears.

Luo Bei, who was standing on the outermost side of everyone, kept looking at the scene before the master and apprentice parted, and he couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to sigh and walk out of the glazed pagoda hall.

The green pine and the bright moon, the sky.

Luo Bei looked up at the sky, and suddenly felt a sense of desolation.

In the corner of his eye, a thin and weak young man stood under the moonlight, looking up at the sky just like Luo Bei.

But he didn't sigh, his eyes were still resolute, this kind of gaze beyond ordinary people even Guanyun and others who had practiced for many years did not have.

......
