Chapter 9: The Spiritual Officer

With a crisp hum, the staff and knife came out of its sheath, and a cold light illuminated the wind and rain, and the sky and the earth were eclipsed. The sergeants were frightened and ran wildly, betting all their bets on the little girl. The clothed guest's feet flickered, and the whole person turned into an ethereal shadow, flying out like a shock.

Wang Xuan was closest to the girl, and rushed with all his strength, and was about to succeed, when suddenly a flower appeared in front of him, and a gray figure came into view.

The three-foot cold mangs are as fast as thunder, cutting off the wind and water, as if the rain curtain is divided in half!

Wang Xuan hurriedly stopped, and raised his sword, but where was the time?, "So fast!" The last thought flashed through his mind, and his body turned into two neat pieces from his chest and planted backwards.

"Wang Xuanβ€”" Liu Ye let out a heart-rending roar. The two were originally fellow villagers, but after enlisting in the army, they became brothers, and they took care of each other in life and death, and they were like brothers and sisters. At this time, seeing Wang Xuan's tragic death, he rushed to the canopy with blood, his eyes were about to split, he raised his waist knife like a madman, and roared and rushed towards the clothed guest. The wind is howling in his ears, the surrounding scenery is in vain, and only the clothes are left in his eyes, and he can't wait to break his bones!

The clothes were sharply focused, holding the staff knife in his right hand, the fist was facing forward, standing on the side of the shoulder, the tip of the blade pointed obliquely at the sky, the left hand put on the hilt, and at the same time, the left foot swung back and stepped towards the right rear, driving the body to move and get out of the way.

It's too late, it's too fast, and all the action is done in the blink of an eye. As soon as the cloth man turned around, Liu Ye had already swung the knife and slashed, and the half of his body that he gave up just dodged this knife, and the sharp blade was cut down against his left elbow, revealing a flaw in Liu Ye's chest.

As if he had expected it, Lingyike held the knife in both hands, slashed forward, cut off Liu Ye's right arm without hindrance, and fell to the ground with the saber. Raising his hand again, in front of the horizontal blade, his left palm pressed against the handle of the knife, pushed forward, and stabbed Liu Ye's throat, making him angry on the spot.

The little girl saw her father killing, she seemed to be accustomed to it, she was not afraid at all, she trotted all the way behind him, poked out her head and made a grimace, stuck out her tongue and said, "Villain!"

The sergeants were so frightened that they stopped outside the eaves, trembling.

The white-eyed wolf tied the wound with a strip of cloth, his face was full of embarrassment, and he was completely arrogant, and he suffered such a big loss in Yun Country for the first time, and he was shocked in his heart, but he was even more puzzled, and said with a blue face: "Your Excellency's martial arts are really shocking, Bai is willing to bow down, I don't know when such a master came out of Yun Kingdom, and he hasn't received your Excellency's name?"

As soon as he finished killing the person, his face did not change and his heart did not beat, he looked at the white-eyed wolf, and replied word by word: "The bamboo cane and mango shoes are lighter than the horse, and the smoke and rain are Ren Pingsheng, and the spiritual official of the Xia Tian Mansion - Luoshan!"

At first hearing the word Lingguan, the white-eyed wolf and others panicked, like a frightened bird, they suddenly dispersed, turned around and ran. With a jingle of bells, he rushed out of Puguang Temple, rushed to get on his horse, and didn't care about the boys and girls who were captured, left the corpses of his companions, and ran wildly.

Seeing that the Beiyou army was fleeing for their lives in embarrassment, Luo Shan put away his sword and returned to his staff, and did not stop it, the little girl hurriedly said: "Daddy, chase after it, don't let the bad guys escape." ”

Luo Shan shook his head, and his tone was quite helpless: "We spiritual officials and cultivators are supposed to defend the Tao and help the world, how can we add more sins?"

"But Daddy......" the little girl was so anxious that she almost cried: "They are all bad guys, and they are innocent of death." ”

Luo Shan smiled bitterly and said: "How can it be so easy to distinguish between good and bad, I think that when the six kings were in a scuffle, the soldiers of the Southern Alliance also harmed many people, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil, do you want to get rid of your father quickly?"

The little girl was aggrieved and complained: "Hmph, then let them go back and continue to harm others, who let Xiaowei say that she can't talk about Daddy." ”

"Alas. Luo Shan sighed and said gloomily: "Stay in the north, at least the Southern Alliance will not kill each other, the good and evil in this world are really indescribable." ”

Luo Shan knew in his heart that even if the four kings formed an alliance today, they still had their own ghosts behind their backs, and at most they would just stop fighting on the surface. The Cloud Kingdom is in the northernmost part and is the first to be threatened by the Great Shadow, and the other three kings are just watching from the sidelines, providing some painless support. Maybe I wish Beiyou had destroyed the Cloud Kingdom first, and then carved it up by myself!

And the Yunguo court also understood this truth, so the troops did not dare to gather all the troops in the north, for fear that they would struggle to support and block Dayou, and the soldiers would be exhausted, but they would be bitten by their allies. is so timid, so that the Northern Youjun can find a loophole, lurk all the way into the border, and do evil. If it weren't for the fact that Da You was difficult to trust, the Yun Kingdom would want to join forces with them and go south together to level the three kings and divide the world equally.

The four kings of the Southern Alliance made all kinds of calculations for their own ambitions, but in the end it was the people of Li who suffered.

"Daddy, they're still roasting meat!" Smelling the fragrance, the little girl's eyes lit up greedily.

When Luoshan came back to his senses, his daughter had already run away and disappeared, so he had to sigh helplessly, catch up and walk into the Daxiong Treasure Palace.

Lin Yi waited in the treasure hall for a long time, listening to the sound of fighting outside, it was still very fierce at first, until someone reported the name of the spirit official of the Heavenly Book Mansion, and the Beiyou soldier actually fled. He was surprised and delighted, and his heart was even more admiring, he thought that the white-eyed wolves were fierce enough, but he didn't expect that the spirit official's name would scare them away. Thinking of his mother's will, if he can worship the spiritual officer as a teacher, why not repay his blood hatred?

After waiting for a while, he saw a little girl rushing into the house, circling around the bonfire with great interest, looking at the grilled fish and bacon and drooling, Lin Yi felt that his longing was shattered in an instant.

Fortunately, when Luoshan entered the house later, Lin Yi reacted and bowed directly to him, his mouth was hesitant, but he was harmed by the dumb medicine and couldn't say half a word.

Lin Yi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, Luo Shan also noticed the situation here, he was stunned, hurriedly stepped forward, helped him up, looked at the other children, didn't think that he would make a rash move, he had no intention of inserting willows and willows, saving so many children, and secretly said that he was lucky!

The throats of the bound children were red, crying one by one but unable to speak, Luo Shan immediately understood that his throat was dumb by the medicine, and he was immediately furious, rushed out of the hall like a whirlwind, and chased out.

Luoshan came and went like the wind, Lin Yi was inexplicable, and he looked at the little girl.

After half an hour, when the wind and rain had stopped, Luo Shan returned to the hall, still carrying two bloody heads, and the children were crying in fright, and their voices were dry and hoarse.

Luo Shan said angrily: "These Northern Ghost thieves ran away separately, and only killed two, I shouldn't have left my hand before!"

The little girl had just finished eating the grilled fish, put down her hand and said proudly: "I'll just say it, they are all bad people, and they are innocent of death." ”

Lin Yi couldn't wait to crush them to ashes, he was not afraid at all when he saw this, and even overjoyed, but it was a pity that the white-eyed wolf's head was not in it.

Luo Shan's brows were furrowed, his expression was solemn, and his true qi was infused with his fingers like knives, cutting off the hemp ropes one after another, letting go of Lin Yi and the children, and comforting them softly: "Okay, don't cry, when my uncle came back just now, I asked the little monks to inform the government, and someone will come to pick you up later, and when you check your name and background, I will send you home to find your parents." ”

Luoshan comforted him for a while, and the children gradually stopped crying. It is estimated that the time is coming, the government is coming, and I am tired of dealing with them, otherwise there will be a meal of flattery, and I will go to the banquet and drink, and the little girl will be ready to leave.

Seeing that the spirit officer was leaving, Lin Yi stood up in a hurry, but fell down again, it turned out that he had been tied for a long time, and his legs were sore and numb, he hastily rubbed it a few times, and chased him out with a rolling belt.

Luo Shan led the little girl out of Puguang Temple, picked a long road, avoided the official errand, walked through the forest, walked out of half a mile, suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "What are you doing with such a distance?"

The little girl also turned around, Lin Yi couldn't say hello, she was out of breath after her, and when she saw them stop, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly bent down to pick up a branch and wrote two words on the ground.

Apprentice.

Lin Yi looked at Luoshan expectantly, but the latter frowned, hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and led the little girl to leave. Lin Yi was so anxious that he hurriedly caught up with them, following the two of them all the way.

Luo Shan took his daughter down the mountain, found a tea shop in the town and sat down to drink tea, Lin Yi stood next to him, stretched out his hand in the air and gestured, wanted to speak but couldn't speak, his face was red. The little girl looked at him and sighed, "Die, my father won't accept you." ”

Lin Yi hurriedly shook his head and stared at Luo Shan with a sincere gaze.

Halfway through the Luoshan tea, he was annoyed by the staring, so he had to pay the copper coin, lower the hat, and lead the little girl away quickly. Lin Yi had a blood hatred in his heart, and he was eager to give up so easily, so he immediately rushed out of the shop, followed closely behind.

......

In the Puguang Temple, Wude took advantage of the chaos to hide in the meditation room, closed the door, shrank in the corner with his head in his hands, chanted the Buddha's name, and trembled. It wasn't until the Northern Youjun fled that he dared to sit on the regimental couch, holding his chest with his hands, panting and palpitating.

After a long time, Wude's face was a little bloody, and he listened to make sure that there was no one around, and secretly took out the silver ticket in his arms, and two things fell out of it and fell on his thighs, which were actually a jade plate and a bag.

Wude's eyes were shining, he forgot his fear for a while, he was overjoyed, and said in a low voice: "If you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future, and the ancients will not deceive me~~" I turned the jade card over and over again and played for a long time before I remembered to open the bag, and my heart said that there might be a better treasure in it.

When he opened it and looked at it, he was disappointed, he spread out the blood-stained strip of cloth, struggled to make out the blood words on it, and stumbled and read, "Don't ...... Avenge...... Good...... Live?"

After being stunned for a while, he said inexplicably: "What is it?" At this moment, a little novice shouted outside the meditation room: "Host, the official messenger is here, and I want to ask you!"

Wude was startled, and hurriedly stuffed the cloth back into the bag, threw it in the meditation room, hid the jade plate and silver ticket, and then left the house. I met the official with Xiao Shami, and explained the matter, but as for the jade and silver tickets, I didn't mention it. The officials dragged away the corpses and horses, and took the young children with them, and one of them picked up the heavy package, opened it, and saw that it was full of silver tickets. All the officials were overjoyed when they suddenly made a windfall, smiled from ear to ear, and even looked at the monks' eyes a lot more kindly.

The officials picked up the money, hurried back to drink, and without further questioning, they led the team to leave. After sending off the official errand, Wude asked the little novices to clean up the blood stains on the ground, but fortunately, it was not difficult to clean up after a heavy rain. He swayed down the mountain with the jade plaque, humming a little song all the way, and the scenery was proud.
