Li Mu and Yue Yefeng said goodbye in the city, and Li Mu returned to the inn where he and Yi Fan stayed before.

At this time, it was already dark, and Li Mu expected that Yi Fan should have rested in the inn a long time ago. So after he stepped into the inn, he went directly to knock on the door of Yi Fan's room. As a result, I knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.

"No, where else can he go so late?" Li Mu was a little puzzled. Because what he said in the lake at that time was to let Yi Fan go to Linhu Temple and wait for him to come back. Could it be that he also stayed in the temple at night?

Li Mu looked into the room through the crack in the door for a long time, and finally went downstairs to ask. The shopkeeper told him that Yi Fan's room was still there, because the room fee he reserved was enough for seven days, but after he came back to stay last night, he went out again in the morning, and then he didn't come back.

Li Mu thought about Yi Fan's temperament, he might go to play elsewhere, maybe he would come back later. Thinking so, Li Mu decided to eat downstairs first.

After eating that meal at noon yesterday, he also ate some raw fish on Turtle Island this morning. After the struggle and death on Turtle Island, the pitiful energy brought to him by that bit of fish meat has been depleted. He had been hungry for a long time, but he was disturbed by the news of the death of a Sangdao person, and he had been suppressing his feelings. It wasn't until he and Yue Yefeng had buried a Sang Dao man that he felt empty in his stomach.

Li Mu ordered food and took it back to his room to eat. In addition, he also asked Xiao Er to prepare some hot water. He's going to take a shower.

From taking a boat into Jinghu Lake, to finally taking a boat rented by Yue Yefeng back to the shore. In fact, Li Mu is in the water a lot of the time. For example, he followed Bu Yanjun's water marker and followed the undercurrent all the way to Turtle Island.

With the shark bead giving him the ability to breathe in the water, the water has become Li Mu's home field. It doesn't matter if it's stealthy or at war. As long as he is in the water, Li Muhua can consume people to death.

After the meal, Li Mu touched his stomach and burped. It didn't take long for Xiao Er to bring in a wooden barrel and fill it with hot water. There was also a plate with very good toiletries.

Li Mu closed the doors and windows, then took off his clothes, revealing a scarred body.

One of the most striking is a huge scar on his back that runs through his back. That was the mark left by Du Jiang, the seventh grandmaster of Tianzi, on Li Mu.

Shark beads have the ability to heal wounds quickly, but fast healing does not mean that there will be no scars. Except for the first time when Li Mu took the shark beads, scale armor grew all over his body, which washed away the scars on Li Mu's body like washing marrow and cutting hair. After that, Li Mu was like an ordinary person, what kind of injuries he suffered, what kind of scars he would leave behind.

There is a saying that scars are a man's medal, but Li Mu feels that these scars are not very good-looking. "But you can't see it with your clothes on, can you?" he dipped himself in hot water and closed his eyes peacefully.

The temperature of the hot water is just right, and it belongs to the kind of ironing that allows the temperature in the water to penetrate the body. The fatigue immersed in the muscles is also drawn out by the temperature of the water.

Li Mu's whole body relaxed, and he felt that his spirit was also relaxed. His consciousness drifted more and more, and then he fell asleep leaning against the tub.

When he woke up again, he found that the sky was already bright, and he was still lying in the bathtub, and the water temperature had become a little cold.

Li Mu sneezed, took the towel on the side, wiped the water droplets on his body, and then changed into clean clothes. After tidying up himself, Li Mu only felt refreshed. He stabbed his dagger at his waist and pushed the door open.

There was still no one in Yi Fan's room next door, and looking through the crack in the door, it seemed that Yi Fan didn't come back last night.

Li Mu went downstairs to confirm the matter with the running hall and the shopkeeper, and neither of them saw Yi Fan. He sighed, "This guy, don't go to those places in the Qinglou Huanchang to stay overnight, right?"

Li Mu had breakfast in the inn and decided to go to Linhu Temple to have a look. That was the place agreed by the two, and the place that Li Mu and Yue Yefeng agreed on yesterday was Tiger Yueji. This can actually be considered a place.

Li Mu walked out of the inn and headed in the direction of Tiger Leaping Rock.

It seems that there is still a lot of peace in the lakeside city. Although there was no shortage of people like Li Mu who wore weapons, most of them hurried alone without fighting.

"It seems that the people of the city do not know what happened yesterday on Turtle Island. Li Mu thought that the inexplicable emotions caused by the boats on the lake being collected by the Eight Great Sects before were gradually calming down.

Li Mu followed the road he had walked with Yi Fan before, and came to the vicinity of Tiger Yueji, and he saw Yue Yefeng's fat figure standing by the lake from a distance, looking at the lake. Li Mu hurriedly greeted him.

"Yue Jushi. Li Mu called. Yue Yefeng looked back at Li Mu and said, "You came early." Then, when he saw Li Mu coming alone, he couldn't help asking, "What about Yi Fan?"

Li Mu frowned and said, "I didn't see him when I went back to the inn yesterday, and when I got up this morning, I saw that he didn't seem to come back last night." ”

Yue Yefeng also frowned when he heard what Li Mu said.

Li Mu continued: "So I came out early in the morning, I agreed with him to wait for me in Linhu Temple, and I didn't have time to go up to confirm." ”

"Let's go. Then go to Linhu Temple and wait to see. Yue Yefeng changed his plans.

Li Mu and Yue Yefeng came to the mountain gate of Linhu Temple, Li Mu remembered what happened when he and Yi Fan came here before, and said: "Before, Yi Fan said that Yue Jushi also asked him to meet at Linhu Temple. ”

"That's right. Here's how I explained it. Yue Yefeng walked on the steps, "However, when I came here later, I found that there was a shortage of boats, so I went to find a boat and didn't stay in Linhu Temple." Of course, I didn't expect you to come so quickly. ”

"We didn't find you in the Linhu Temple, but we met a strange monk. He had a snake that he couldn't move after being bitten by it. Li Mu talked about the outflow monk he met in Linhu Temple before-Zhusi Maji.

After hearing this, Clinker Yue Yefeng suddenly stopped. "Monk with a snake? Have you seen him here?"

"Yes. It seems to be called some kind of clue. I've fought with Yi Fan. Li Mu recalled the strange monk in the red monk's robe.

"It should be Bamboo Silk Maji, although the pronunciation is the same. That is the abbot of the Honggutan Tantric sect. Yue Yefeng's words were a little jealous, "That's not an easy sect to deal with." How did he end up here?"

"Honggutan Tantra?"

"Well, it's a branch of the Yundian Tantra, there aren't many people, but it has always existed in the northwest. Honggutan Tantra is not well-known in the Zen forests and rivers and lakes of the Central Plains, but as far as I know, they have four styles, mysterious and treacherous, and must be guarded against. Yue Yefeng stretched out four fingers and explained: "These four styles are, Shanggao, Mining, Roshan, and Turnover." ”

"What? Why does it sound so strange?"

"They use the Yundian language, so these four styles are also transliterated. If it is changed to the Central Plains, it is to raise dragons and snakes, dig themselves, compare their bodies to mountains and rocks, and change the heavens and the earth. These four styles are actually a complete set of cultivation secret methods. It is through the cultivation of spiritual things that they are united with themselves. Using different strange methods will improve your strength, so as to reach the point where your body is like a mountain and a rock, and your strength is infinite. ”

Li Mu recalled the scene when he met Bamboo Silk Maji that day, and verified them one by one with Yue Yefeng, and found that each one was matched. What Zhu Si Maji raised was the strange snake named Dusha. The venom of the Crossing Evil can turn people into stubborn rocks and make them unable to move. And the bamboo silk Maji's own body is hard, which is enough to resist Yi Fan's wind and reverse sword. Even if Yi Fan tried his best, it only added a small wound to him. The blood that flowed from the wound was the same color as Watara's. In this way, this is cultivated with snake venom. And the final result has indeed achieved the effect of being like a mountain and a rock, and the strength is infinite.

"However, that is only a way of cultivation, and their ultimate goal is to cultivate into the six spiritual powers of the Buddha Sect and achieve the goal of eternal life. Yue Yefeng admonished Li Mudao: "You are fighting with him, it is already a great luck that you are still alive, and it is best to hide as far as you can when you meet this person." ”

"It's indeed a blessing, if it weren't for Shangguan Yin appearing, Yi Fan and I would probably have died at the hands of Zhusi Maji. ”

"The person from the Star Hidden Palace?"

"Yes, he raised a black cat, and not only defeated the evil, but also helped me suck out all the snake venom in my body. ”

"Oh, and such a thing?" Yue Yefeng was also greatly surprised, this kind of thing, even in his cognition, was an extremely rare thing.

The two talked about some details at that time, and as they walked, they finally arrived at Linhu Temple.

This time, with Yue Yefeng by his side, Li Mu had a lot more confidence in his heart, even if he met Zhusi Maji again, he was not afraid at all. With such a mood, Li Mu walked into the front yard of Linhu Temple. Li Mu looked at the corner of the courtyard and found that there were many sedan chairs parked in the courtyard. And in the place leading to the side hall, there are also all kinds of female dependents.

Yue Yefeng frowned secretly, "What's going on." Today is not the time for the incense meeting. ”

"I don't know. However, you have to find out if Yi Fan is not there first. As he spoke, Li Mu searched around, and after a while, he saw the monk standing at the door of the main hall to greet the guest monk. Li Mu hurriedly greeted him. "Senior brother, do you remember me?"

"Who are you?" The welcoming monk is the welcoming monk that Li Mu and Yi Fan met when they entered the temple a few days ago - Huihai. However, Huihai ushered in a lot of people every day, so he didn't remember Li Mu.

Li Mu introduced: "Senior brother is me, I don't understand. Three days ago, I brought a friend to the temple to look for my uncle. ”

After Li Mu's reminder, Huihai remembered Li Mulai. After Li Mu said that he was looking for someone that day, Hui Hai also went to find out about the Yue Jushi they were looking for. It doesn't matter if you don't check the result, after checking it, Hui Hai found out that it was an amazing character.

"Senior brother remembered?" Li Mu said with a smile.

Hui Hai nodded, "Yes." The little monk remembered. Is the junior brother still here to find Yue Jushi? He really isn't here. ”

"No, no, no, I'm not here to find my uncle. Li Mu shook his head, "I'm here to find my friend." I don't know if you've seen it?"

"Friends?"

"Yes, yes, that's the same one who came with me last time. We made an appointment to meet at Linhu Temple. ”

"That......" Hui Hai stopped talking.

Li Mu saw his expression a little strange, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

In the face of Li Mu's inquiry, Huihai seemed to have a hard time.

Li Mu was in a hurry, "Senior brother, something happened to my friend, you should tell me quickly." ”

Hui Hai still frowned and didn't speak, Yue Yefeng was anxious, he stepped forward, pulled Li Mu away, and then said: "You little monk is so decisive, what secrets can you have in your temple that make you swallow and vomit and dare not speak?"

Hui Hai glanced at Yue Yefeng, who was generous, but his bearing was by no means ordinary. He had no choice but to speak: "The donor doesn't know that there are big people in the temple recently. The whole temple is holding their hearts. ”

"Big man? What big man? What does this have to do with my friend? You say that, is my friend in the temple?" Li Mu sensed something from his words.

Huihai knew that he was speechless, and he was a little hesitant. Yue Yefeng on the side became even more impatient.

At this time, Li Mu heard a cry that was enough to cry ghosts and gods, "Ahhh

Li Mu heard someone shouting his name, he first shrunk his neck, then looked left and right, and finally his gaze fell on an unkempt person. The man was surrounded by a group of female dependents, holding a plate on which food and other things were slowed down.

Li Mu looked at the figure of the man carefully and found that he was somewhat similar to Yi Fan.

Before Li Mu and Yue Yefeng could do anything, the man pushed the surrounding ladies and ran straight towards Li Mu. And the ladies didn't seem to be vegetarians either, so they pulled their whips from their waists and chased after them.

"Li Mu, Li Mu, help! help!" the man kept shouting.

Listening to his voice again, Li Mu dared to confirm that that person turned out to be Yi Fan! Li Mu hurriedly greeted him. When he took a closer look, he found that Yi Fan was really miserable to the extreme. The original Yi Fan, although he was not personable, was at least human. But now Yi Fan looks like a beggar, more like a beggar.

Li Mu stopped Yi Fan, and before he could say anything, the women chasing after Yi Fan whipped him. Li Mu pulled out his short sword in an instant, and with one move, he looked at the mountains at a glance and directly entered the crowd.

The leather whips of those women did not fall on Li Mu, and Li Mu's short sword drove straight in, directly knocking down one of the women.

And on Yi Fan's side, he finally came to Yue Yefeng's side. Yi Fan pulled Yue Yefeng and cried, "Senior Yue, save me." ”

"Huh?" Yue Yefeng stretched out his hand and put his hand on Yi Fan's shoulder, realizing that something was wrong. Yi Fan's true qi was actually restrained by someone with a heavy hand. In other words, the current Yi Fan has completely lost his martial arts and is completely an ordinary person.
