Chapter 40: The Moon is Dark and the Wind is High
Early the next morning, after the daily martial arts practice, the sun had just sunk into the valley bottom, and the quiet bamboo forest was endless, and Li Moru walked along the path that Ling Yiyi had brought him before.
He had to go and get his baggage and horses back first, otherwise he would not be able to rush to Niushou Mountain.
He walked to a secluded place, the ground was full of fallen leaves, there was no one nearby, not far away, where a horse was eating hay with its head down, which Li Moru had placed here before leaving.
He leaped up, jumped on the branches, took off his burden, and then led the horse, and after taking it to eat and drink, he hurried in the direction of Niushou Mountain.
I have to say that the road from here to Niushou Mountain is really difficult to walk, winding when high and low, there are many mountain roads, the only good thing is that the nearby scenery is indeed a must, which also adds a lot of fun on the road.
Naturally, I met a lot of people along the way, and I learned a lot about the nearby things, but somehow, people who believe in Buddhism are everywhere, and there are countless temples near Niushou Mountain.
Li Moru couldn't help but marvel, he thought that only people in the ancient town believed in Buddhism, but he didn't expect that there were many people outside who believed in Buddhism, but he didn't know if the pagoda here had a night pearl.
It was late to arrive, so Li Moru found a shop next to him, and the shopkeeper said that he would be able to reach the vicinity of Niutou Mountain tomorrow afternoon at the current speed.
The guy heard that Li Moru was going to Niushou Mountain, and he kept recommending the spring water near Niushou Mountain, saying that the water from the spring there was matched with the tea Tianque of Niushou Mountain, which was a must.
Li Moru was skeptical, where could the water be good if it was good, and the old man Yang Tou of the ancient town also said that it was good, and he secretly wanted to make a comparison, whether the water of the spring was better or the water of the ancient town was better.
He felt that the water in the ancient town must be better, after all, from snacks to large, it has always been so sweet and delicious, sweet and attractive.
The next day, Li Moru followed what his man said and went in the direction of Niushou Mountain.
He found an inn in Niushou Mountain and stayed nearby, and he wanted to understand the Maitreya religion in those mouths.
During the meal, he asked the buddy if there was a so-called Maitreya sect member in this Niushou Mountain, and the guy shook his head, saying that he had never heard of Maitreya at all, but had heard of one called the White Lotus Sect.
I heard from the guys that the people of the White Lotus Sect are all laboring people, they eat fasting and recite Buddha, not only hold Buddhist events for the government, but also help the poor people build roads and bridges, so they have a high reputation in the hearts of the people.
After listening to this, Li Moru thought that this was definitely not a Maitreya religion, and Maitreya and this religion were not the same religion at all.
At night, Li Moru was practicing on the roof of the building.
The moonlight of the past few days has dimmed a lot, especially the dark clouds that have been blown from nowhere, which even covered the only remaining waning moon, and the wind was slightly cold, blowing in Li Moru's ears.
He took a deep breath, and after practicing internal strength for two hours, he began to move his muscles and bones.
Just as he was tugging on his shoulder, he suddenly noticed a group of people sneaking out of the alley not far away, a group of more than a dozen of them, and they all had weapons in their hands.
As if they had been discussed, the group walked down the alley to a grove not far away.
Li Moru was curious and followed.
Although the forest is not big, it is night after all, and as soon as you walk in, you will not see anyone around.
Li Moru flew to the highest branch with light skills, wanting to see clearly what these people were going to do, if they were traitors, they might as well do good deeds and get rid of them.
But the men did not come out until the dark clouds of the moonlight gradually dissipated, and the faint moonlight fell into the woods, and an old man rode past the woods.
As the horse passed between two trees in the woods, suddenly its two front hooves were cut off by something sharp.
The old man fell to the ground.
A group of people rushed out, more than a dozen people surrounded the old man with torches, and one shouted: "Jin Yunxuan, today is your death." ”
"Who are you, and why are you plotting against me?"
The old man was tall and thin, with a haggard face, and he looked weak.
Li Moru saw that the old man's left sleeve was blown up by the wind through someone's torch, it turned out to be a one-armed old man, so haggard, I think it was because he was tired from the day, Li Moru thought.
"Brothers, don't talk nonsense with him, kill him quickly, don't give him a chance to resist. ”
The voice landed, and the dozen or so people surrounding the old man instantly slashed towards the old man with swords, although the old man was thin, but his martial arts looked okay, but he didn't feel that he was the opponent of these people.
The old man gradually lost the upper hand, and after he knocked the man next to him away with one palm, he couldn't breathe.
Li Moru saw that the old man was being bullied by more than a dozen strong men, how could he bear it, and hurriedly took action.
Leaping down from the branch, he protected the old man behind him.
The crowd exclaimed, "Who are you?"
Li Moru said: "Who do you care who I am? What kind of heroes are you guys bullying an old man, and today I'm going to teach you scum a lesson." ”
"Big brother, don't talk nonsense with him, this kid is not a good thing at first glance, and he will be killed together. ”
The leader of the humanitarians: "Do it, two people kill together." ”
The long sword in Li Moru's hand had already been drawn out of the scabbard, he flew up, his figure rose with the wind, and he kicked on a strong man, and then the long sword in his hand instantly pointed at another person.
The long sword in Li Moru's hand slanted, and the sword light shook the big sword in the man's hand in an instant.
It was just an instant, and the person mentioned by Li Moru's feet flew several feet away, and only stopped after breaking a small tree with a bowl mouth, and blood immediately flowed out of his mouth.
Li Moru didn't care about this, he turned around and punched, knocking down the man who had no weapon in his hand, this punch was enough to use his five strengths, after the man was punched, his internal organs were like fire, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and he fell to the ground.
Li Moru protected the old man behind his back and cut off the long sword that was slashing towards the old man's shoulder.
A sword slashed through the man's chest, although it was not fatal, but the man had no strength to fight again, Li Moru took advantage of the situation to stab the sword back, and the long sword pierced out of the man's Tianzong acupoint.
Li Moru didn't want to kill them, he just wanted to repel them, so it seemed that this sword was very damaging, but in fact, as long as he raised it for a few days, he would naturally be healed.
Then Li Moru volleyed a sword in the air, and the sword aura was awe-inspiring, instantly knocking the people in front of him to the ground.
He stepped on the trunk of the tree behind him, and stabbed at a person with a big knife in front of him with the help of thrust, the man used the knife to block, but it was useless, Li Moru turned in the air and directly stabbed the man's right arm, piercing his arm, and the big knife in his hand fell to the ground instantly.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining people turned around and wanted to escape, Li Moru originally thought that he would just let him go, but he didn't think about it.
The old man behind him flew forward at some point, killed a person who was about to flee with one palm, and with a wave of his long sleeves, a burst of white powder spread in the air, and the four people in front of him fell to the ground instantly, pinching their necks and struggling.
The old man chuckled, "If you want to kill the old man, how about it, it's not good to survive and not be able to die." ”
Li Moru's face was full of doubts, and when he was about to ask the old man, the old man flew up and sprinkled white ash on the injured people.
Li Moru was blind, he had never seen this kind of scene, more than a dozen people around him were struggling with their necks, and from time to time there were white foam coming out of their mouths, trembling all over, and screaming miserably.
Li Moru felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly pointed his sword at the old man and asked, "Who are you?"
The old man smiled: "Thank you for saving your life, the old lady called the one-armed golden toad Jin Yunxuan, who was plotted today, but thanks to the little brother's action, he was able to survive, why did the little brother suddenly turn to attack me?"
Li Moru asked, "What did you do to them?"
"It's just a matter of asking them to taste some of my newly developed poison, and it won't be long before they'll die of rotting their intestines, and they'll regret their folly of killing me today." ”
The man at the head got up from the ground and hugged the old man's thigh and shouted: "Little brother, go quickly, he is a wicked person, a poisoner who specializes in experimenting with living people, run away quickly." ”
"You talk a lot. ”
The old man slapped down from the man's Tianling cover with a palm, and directly slapped the man to death.
Only then did Li Moru realize that he had saved the wrong person.
His long sword stabbed at the old man in an instant.
But just as his long sword was about to stab the old man, he suddenly felt that his mind was blank, and his feet were completely unstable.
The last impression in the afterglow was that the old man walked towards him with a strange smile on his face.
By the time he woke up, he had been tied up on a long table covered in blood and a foul smell.
When the old man saw him wake up, he walked towards him with a smile, "Engong, are you awake?"
Li Moru wanted to break free of the rope on his body, but found that he couldn't use any strength.
"Don't struggle, you've been hit by my crispy cartilage, it's impossible to break free, just lie there obediently. ”
Li Moru asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Why don't you do it, just to repay Engong's life-saving grace?"
"You despicable villain. ”
The old man seemed to be boiling this thing, and said with a smile: "Engong is wrong, walking the rivers and lakes can't help himself, today is either you die tomorrow or I die, how can there be anything despicable and despicable, it's just to live." ”
Li Moru is very remorseful now, he has invisibly become an accomplice of this thief, not to mention, he was tied up here, and he doesn't know what this person wants to do to him.
He remembered what the man said before, saying that this old thief used a living person to experiment with poison, at this time, he was a little panicked, originally thinking of doing chivalrous righteousness, punishing adultery and eliminating evil, but unexpectedly, he saved a gangster who did all kinds of evil.
What should I do now, I am still so young, I have not seen the mountains and rivers of the Great Song Dynasty, I have not seen wealth and nobility, I have not married a wife and had children, and I am going to die like this at a young age, which really makes him sad.
At this time, the old thief was still on the side to comfort him and said: "Don't worry, it doesn't hurt, for the sake of you saving my life, I will cut the meat in a while, and give you some of the mandala flower powder that I have treasured for many years, so that you will not be in pain at that time." ”
Li Moru scolded him with all kinds of unspeakable words, but the louder he scolded, the happier Jin Yunxuan listened, "Young people are energetic, just use you to test my new medicine." ”
While talking and having fun, the laughter is really infiltrating.
