Seven or eight people rushed out of the reeds, holding large and small weapons in their hands, looking panicked, "Hurry up, take the money and go over there, everyone will act separately!"

"No one is allowed to leave! Hurry up and return my money!" a black horse broke the noise of people, and on the black horse sat a man in a black robe, thirty years old, holding a long sword in one hand, shaking the reins in the other, and carrying a long box on his back.

The man in Xuanyi saw that the crowd in front of him was about to flee in three teams seven or eight meters away, and immediately patted the horse's back, and suddenly the figure jumped in the air, and immediately flew to the front of the crowd. Without waiting for the head to fall, the man in the dark robe dodged and rushed into the crowd, slashing left and right, and suddenly three or four fell in the crowd.

The man in Xuanyi rushed into the crowd like a tiger descending the mountain, the long sword in his hand kept waving, the stump and broken arm flew sideways in the air, and one or two small arms flew straight towards the pavilion five or six meters away. Zuo Tianzhong held the branch in his hand, and with a slight click, the broken arm fell outside the pavilion. A human head happened to fall into the arms of the trembling Shifang, and the blood in the head and neck of the person stained Shifang's head and face, and Shifang was immediately blinded.

The man in the dark robe killed all the fleeing crowd outside, holding a long sword, glaring angrily into the pavilion, only to see an old monk closing his eyes and chanting, a little monk with a bloody face and a human hair in his hand, a young man baking cakes, and a child next to him, there was no threat at all, then he turned around and spat on the ground, leaned over and groped on the dead man.

"Shifang, how long do you still have to hold the human head?" Bai Yun closed his eyes and seemed to know everything. The master's reprimand made Shifang suddenly come back to his senses, and he didn't dare to scream, and immediately threw the head in his hand far away from the pavilion, trembling with fright. Lu Xihua saw the opportunity and handed over a wet cotton cloth, "Little master, wipe your face." ”

"Thank you, little donor!" Shifang wiped his face before he calmed down, and kept chanting the name of the Buddha in his mouth.

The man in Xuanyi searched a few corpses before he was satisfied with the things in his arms and came towards the pavilion, "Fortunately, I got the money back, otherwise my savings for many years would be wasted." The man in Xuanyi had just killed a few people, but at the moment he had a smile on his face, and he found a vacant seat in the pavilion to sit down, and couldn't help sneezing, "I'm sorry, it's raining outside, it's a little chilly." Come, borrow a light to bake the fire!" At this moment, the man was already drenched in rain, and his whole body was wet.

Shifang didn't dare to talk, and Bai Yun chanted the scriptures by himself, as if he hadn't heard anything. Zuo Tian smiled and said, "Do you want to eat something to keep out the cold?" After speaking, he handed over the baked cake in his hand.

"Master Zuo, how are you~" Shifang was so anxious that he couldn't help but speak, but when he saw the man in Xuanyi looking at him with wide eyes, he couldn't help but remember the scene when the man killed people just now without blinking, and hurriedly stopped talking.

Seeing that the little monk closed his mouth, the man in Xuanyi immediately became happy, "Little brother is good, I happen to be hungry." Your bread is so fragrant, but I will be disrespectful. The man in Xuanyi happily took the scone, put it in his nose and sniffed it deeply, his face full of intoxication, "I can't imagine that in the wilderness, I have such luck, little brother, thank you!"

The man in Xuanyi ate the scones in two bites, then burped with satisfaction, took out the water bladder and drank the water.

At this moment, Zen Master Baiyun spoke, "Money is something outside the body, why should the donor go on a killing spree, the so-called accumulation of good deeds and pleasure, be careful of karma." ”

As soon as the man in Xuanyi heard this, he was not happy, "Ji Shan? You monks don't have to make money by themselves, of course, you say this, you chant the Buddha's name, and naturally there will be believers with both hands." This is my own hard-earned money accumulated by a penny, retribution? If there was retribution, there would not be so many robbers~"

Bai Yun shook his head, and his hand was taken into his arms, and the man in Xuanyi immediately looked nervous, "What? But I just want to do it?!" After speaking, he was about to draw his sword again. Who knew that Bai Yun took out a small hoe from his arms and handed it to Shifang beside him, "Shifang, dust to dust, dust to dust, go and bury the corpse outside." ”

Shifang was stunned when he heard this, "Master, it's still raining outside~"

"Hmm~" Bai Yun's eyebrows raised, and Shifang was immediately afraid, "The disciple will go immediately." Zuo Tianzong also got up here, "The little master is kind-hearted, and I will also come to help." ”

Seeing that Zuo Tianzong had come to help, Shifang immediately smiled, and quietly gave a thumbs up behind the master. "What are you waiting for?!" Bai Yun's voice sounded again, and when Shifang heard this, he immediately stepped into the rain. The man in Xuanyi pursed his mouth and said nonchalantly, "Fake compassion." ”

With Zuo Tianzong's help, Shifang quickly found all the stumps, piled them together, and shouted while digging a pit, "Master, each of these corpses has been cut into seven or eight pieces, why don't you bury them together?"

Bai Yun said, "No, put them all together, let them all fall into a corpse." ”

"Do you still want to fight together?" Shifang didn't dare to disobey the master's words, "Little master, you come to fight the corpse, and I'll dig the pit." Seeing this, Zuo Tianzong proposed. "Okay! so fast!" Shifang was happy again.

The man in the dark clothes ate the scones, his mouth was a little dry, he flipped over the horse, and took out a leather bag, "Drink some wine to ward off the cold." "Then he handed the wine to the man in the pavilion. As soon as the hand was handed out, he was stunned. On the right is a five-year-old three-foot boy looking at him with a smile and no fear, children can't drink, and on the left is an old monk who recites sutras with his eyes closed, and monks still can't drink. Forget it, drink it yourself!

The man in the dark clothes had no one to share the wine in his hand, so he drank a few sips by himself, maybe he didn't feel that it was enjoyable, so he poured some of the wine bag in his hand into the bonfire, and the bonfire scurried up, and countless sparks appeared.

"That's what makes it enjoyable. The man in the dark clothes laughed, but saw the little boy next to him packing up the salute package, "What are you doing?"

The boy didn't answer, he pointed to the top of his head with his right hand, and the man in the dark clothes looked up, only to see countless sparks drifting up with the wind, and many of them fell on the top of the reeds above his head. The man in Xuanyi patted his head, "Oh no, forget about this stubble!" Before the words fell, the fire took advantage of the wind, and suddenly a raging fire broke out on the top of the pavilion.

Several people hurriedly ran out of the pavilion, and Zuo Tianzong and Shifang over there noticed that the pavilion was on fire, and immediately came over to help.

The man in Xuanyi knew that he was at a loss, "I'm sorry everyone, this fire is too big to be saved, and it will cause everyone to rest." Luckily, there's a market not far away, so you can go and rest there. After speaking, he pointed his hand in one direction, and then turned over and got on the horse, "Everyone walks the rivers and lakes, how can there be an overnight feud, there will be a period later!" Then his legs clamped the horse's body, and he suddenly went away.

Several people shook their heads in the rain, this person was reckless, and he didn't know where it came from. Zuo Tianzong and Shifang buried a few corpses, and then went to the market that the man in Xuanyi pointed to.

"Yu Lan Bao Festival, the weapon is sold cheaply!"

"Take a look, the freshly baked sword, cut gold and jade!"

"The time-honored steel knife is sold cheaply!"

The market was full of shouts, and it seemed that because of the war, seven or eight out of ten shops were selling ironware, and the pedestrians on the road were all fierce and fierce, carrying swords. The three of them had only walked a short distance into the market when they encountered three or four incidents of drawing swords against each other. No matter what happens, it seems that there is a disagreement, and everyone draws their swords and fights.

"Alas, the world has become like this, can we monks still educate them? It's really unknowable~" Seeing the scene so chaotic, Zen Master Baiyun couldn't help but sigh.

"Master, let's go to the store early to rest, the apprentice still has important things on his back, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case. Zuo Xiao's benefactor is young, but I'm afraid I can't stand it. Shifang said secretly in Bai Yun's ear.

Bai Yun couldn't do it, so he had to follow his apprentice.

In an inn, Zuo Tianzong was inquiring about the room, and a guest room cost five taels of silver a night, and Shifang hurriedly stepped forward to bargain for the bad price.

A familiar voice came from the table next to him, "I'll charge you fifteen taels, and I'll help you kill him!" It was the man in Xuanyi who rode away.

"Didn't you charge ten taels before? Why did you add my price?" a big man sitting opposite him slapped his blade on the table and said unconvinced.

The man in Xuanyi was impatient, "My kung fu has been high recently, and the price is naturally high!

"How do I know that your martial arts skills are high?!" the big man shouted angrily.

The man in Xuanyi smiled, "It's not easy to do?!" casually pulled out the long sword beside him, and slashed it out of thin air, the big man opposite was stunned, and a few strands of hair fell off his head, and the bun was scattered, and it was clearly cut off. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the inn was stunned.

It turned out that the sword qi from the long sword of the man in Xuanyi just now did not stop, and directly cut off the thick red cloth covering the outside of the cage niche on the back of the ten-square back bag that was bargaining in front of the counter not far away. The red cloth was blown away by the wind, revealing a golden Buddha more than a foot high, sitting in the cage niche, and under the sunlight, the whole inn was silent. The eyes of the countless people in the inn flashed with greed, and their eyes stared at this golden Buddha motionless.

Bai Yun frowned, immediately took out a white cloth from his arms, and stepped forward to cover the golden Buddha. Seeing this, Zuo Tianzong stepped forward and whispered, "You can't stay here for a long time, let's leave quickly." ”

Shi Fang was alert at this time, turned his head, and said to the man in Xuanyi who was stunned at the table with a long sword, "It turned out to be you!

The man in Xuanyi smiled, "I'm really sorry, my skills have increased recently, I'm sorry." ”

What else did Shifang want to say, Bai Yun shouted in a low voice, "Why don't you go quickly?!" Shifang didn't dare to say anything more, glared at the man in Xuanyi fiercely, and left the inn with Zuo Tianzong and Master. The three of them did not dare to stay in the bazaar, so they had to leave the bazaar and go to the wilderness to the north.

Everyone in the inn bowed their heads to discuss, obviously having bad intentions towards the Golden Buddha, and the man in Xuanyi smiled and said, "Carrying the Golden Buddha, do you still want to be safe?

Although the temple has been in ruins, you can still see the magnificence of the day from the remaining buildings. The whole temple is overgrown with weeds, and I heard that no one has lived in it for a long time. Walking up the stairs from the mountain gate is the statue of Wei Tuo, who has lost his head, holding up the demon pestle that is only half in his hand.

After the Daxiong Treasure Hall, there is a meditation hall at the back, the left and right ears of the meditation hall are the monk's meditation room, and the door is hidden. There was only one hut to the southeast, and the latch was as good as new. It is surrounded by bamboo, which has not been taken care of for a long time, and looks quite messy. The steps of the meditation hall were almost submerged by the wild grass that was bubbling up, but the pond under the steps was overgrown with a pool of lotus flowers, which were in full bloom.

And after dark today, three people came from outside the temple, carrying lanterns in their hands to light the way.

"Lanruo Temple, Master, this is a deserted temple, we have a place to live tonight!" Shifang was very happy when he saw the ancient temple, and he didn't have to sleep in the wilderness.

"It's a big deal, and I need to spend the night in this deserted temple. Bai Yun said to Zuo Tianzong.

Zuo Tian waved his hand, "Where, our brother has been home all over the world for the past year, and he has lived everywhere, and the wilderness is not worth mentioning." After speaking, the three of them walked over the temple monument and came to the square in front of the temple.

"Damn, they're in Lanruo Temple!"

"There are ghosts here, what should I do?"

"Let's go! It's dark now, we can't go in, hurry back to the market. I don't know if these people are dead, but I'm afraid that they will die here, and we won't join in!"

"Big brother is right, we still have to save our lives!"

More than a dozen figures looked at the direction of Lanruo Temple from afar, and did not dare to step in, and after discussing for a while, they withdrew, and the outside of the temple returned to tranquility.

As the three of them stepped into the temple and passed by the lotus pond in the front yard, white light gradually appeared on Baiyun's body. Bai Yun was stunned for a moment, but then he understood, and said, "Master Zuo, Shifang, this Lanruo Temple is only afraid of powerful ghosts, don't move around easily tonight, don't leave the sight of the old man." ”

As soon as Shifang heard Master's words, his legs and feet immediately became a little weak, "Master, if there are ghosts, the disciple doesn't mind traveling at night." ”

"Where did you get so much nonsense?It's you who call for rest, and it's you who is afraid now, are you still not my disciple?!"

"Master, the disciple is going out for the first time, and he has no experience~"

"You have a lot of reasons. Since there are powerful ghosts in this temple, presumably those robbers will not dare to come, tonight we have the golden Buddha protection, and the fierce ghosts dare not approach. Bai Yun walked into the hall with his head held high, and when he mentioned subduing demons and subduing demons, the old monk immediately became more energetic.

Zuo Tianzong followed into the main hall, only to see that the Buddha statues around were broken, there were dust and cobwebs everywhere, the wooden planks in the hall were rotten, and many places were a big hole when they stepped on it.

Bai Yun found a clean place at the edge of the hall, "Lord Zuo, we will rest here tonight." Please don't be afraid, the ghosts will never dare to approach us. ”

Lu Xihua nodded, "Grandpa, with the Golden Buddha bless us, Tianheng is not afraid." Zuo Tianzong hurriedly cleaned the ground and lit a bonfire. Shifang placed the Golden Buddha next to the bonfire, and Lu Xihua looked at it and stopped paying attention.

Soon after, a strange wind blew into the hall, carrying a faint disgusting fishy smell, and I wanted to vomit.

Shi Fang opened his mouth and asked, "Master, what is this?"

Bai Yun's eyebrows raised, "There are demons at work, Shifang, Zuo Shishi, you stay in the main hall, and the old man will come out to remove the demons!" immediately jumped and flew out of the hall.

Bai Yun flew out of the main hall, threw it casually, stood the Zen staff in his hand in the courtyard of the front hall, and then flew to the direction of the temple Tallinn. The Zen staff flew in the air, making a loud noise, and the root of the Zen staff went deeper than a foot into the stone slab of the courtyard, and stood firmly on the ground.

The strange wind gusted in the tower of Lanruo Temple, and the white clouds walked quickly, came to the middle, looked around, in his eyes, a trace of golden light lit up, and suddenly the scenery in front of him continued to change, just to find that trace of demonic energy, but unfortunately, after a few breaths, there was no clue.

Bai Yun sneered, "You demon, you are not bad, you can even avoid my magic eyes?!" As soon as the words fell, Bai Yun's eyes closed, no longer disturbed by the exterior scene, and his two long earlobes immediately swayed, listening to the sounds around him. Suddenly, there were countless strange voices whistling in his ears, which seemed to be wandering around him, and Bai Yun immediately took off the huge rosary hanging around his neck, "I want you to show up!

I saw that the one hundred and eight prayer beads broke away from the hands of Zen Master Baiyun, turned into light and shadow in the air, and hit the ground and countless giant trees in all directions, and suddenly there were bursts of thunder, resounding all around. The rosary traveled through the trees with the wave of Baiyun's hands, colliding between the trees, many of which were broken by their thick branches, and a thick layer of leaves fell on the ground. As soon as Bai Yun beckoned, the rosary flew back into his hand again, and the strange sound in the forest disappeared in an instant.

"This monster is so powerful, and the real body hasn't appeared yet?! I should be careful!" Bai Yun hung the rosary back around his neck and carefully groped through the forest.
