Li Qiufeng heard that the footsteps were heavy and messy, not like the sound of a person with martial arts walking when he walked, and his heart was not nervous. I only heard the footsteps stop in front of the door, and then there were a few knocks on the door, and then someone said respectfully: "May I ask if Master Li is there?"

Li Qiufeng walked to the door and stretched out his hand to push the door open, only to see a man in his forties standing outside the door. The man wore a gray cloth flat hat, a cardigan, and black cloth shoes. Looking at this dress, it looks like a monk monk. It's just that this person has a sneering face, but above the details, there are two broom eyebrows, which looks quite treacherous.

Li Qiufeng said: "Under the surname Li, dare to ask this big brother what is looking for me?"

The middle-aged man shook his head to the ground and said, "The villain is the temple of this City God Temple, and he was ordered by the Yamen of Xiuwu County to take charge of all the affairs in the City God Temple. Early this morning, Second Master Wan passed the password of all the lords of the Yamen, saying that Master Li wanted to live temporarily in our City God Temple. The villain was supposed to be here all the time to greet him, but he had something important to do and left temporarily. When he just came back, he heard that Master Li had arrived, so the villain hurried over to see Master Li. I couldn't greet Master Li in person today, and I hope that Master Li will forgive my sins. ”

After Miao Zhu finished speaking, he clenched his hands into fists and bowed down, not daring to raise his head. Li Qiufeng thought to himself, Wan Congyun and others have always pulled up the banner as a tiger skin, and looking at the appearance of this temple blessing, they must have been frightened by Wan Congyun. It was he who smiled and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Miaozhu." Under the orders of the county lord and the county lord, he will borrow the temple for a few days. If you are disturbed, please forgive Mr. Miaozhu. ”

Miao Zhu waved his hand again and again, and said: "Don't dare to do this! This is not under the jurisdiction of Taoism, but is the temple property of the Yamen." The lords in the yamen are the masters in charge of our City God Temple. Other temples have temple officials and abbots, but only ours, the City God Temple, is temporarily managed by the villain on behalf of the yamen. Master Li is a person sent by the county lord and the county lord, and the villain should serve carefully to do his duty. ”

Seeing this situation, Li Qiufeng remembered Zhang Hao's words, and knew that the more polite he was, the more uneasy this temple would be. He coughed twice and said solemnly, "That's the best." Go back first, and if I have any problems, I'll go to you." ”

Miao Zhu was like a pardon, and he said yes again and again, bowed and slowly retreated five or six steps backwards, and then fell to the ground, and then turned to leave.

Li Qiufeng looked at Miaozhu's back, shook his head, then closed the door, sat back in the chair, and carefully recalled the situation for half a day, and found nothing wrong. He secretly thought in his heart, now that Huang Xu had returned to the county government, listening to Yu Fan's meaning, Huang Chong did not punish her, and he didn't have to worry about her. And the nuns of the Kule Nunnery were placed by Yu Fan in the Ziyang Temple in the north of the city, I don't know what the situation is there, but while there is nothing to do at the moment, I can go over and take a look.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng made up his mind. He first found the waist knife wrapped in a sheet from under the bed, looked at it carefully for a moment, held the blade with both hands, focused on his arms, and broke it with both hands, only to hear a "click" sound, and the waist knife had been cut in two from the center. Li Qiufeng acted according to the law, and in a moment, he broke a waist knife into more than ten pieces. He wrapped the fragments in the sheets, tied them firmly, and hung the embroidered spring knife over his belt, and then walked out of the room with the package.

At this time, it was already afternoon, and Li Qiufeng was afraid of alarming the temple, if he came over to be verbose, he would inevitably have complications. It was very careful when opening and closing the door with the strong autumn wind, and did not make the slightest sound. Then he tiptoed out of the backyard, but saw the main hall courtyard filled with cigarette smoke, and more than 100 pilgrims were busy in the courtyard. Li Qiufeng swaggered through the courtyard, but no one noticed.

When he walked out of the gate of the City God Temple, the smell of incense was everywhere on his body. Li Qiufeng pinched his nose, identified the direction, and walked towards the north of the city. After he walked through the two main streets, he asked an old man selling tofu on the side of the road about the location of Ziyangguan, and then walked quickly to Ziyangguan.

When he came to the Ziyang Temple, he saw that this temple was not too big, and it was far worse than the City God Temple. The wall outside the temple is no taller than a foot, and the top of the wall is covered with withered grass, and in some places the tiles are gone. Although the temple door is closed, the red paint on the temple door has peeled off, the potholes are uneven, and the whole temple has shown a decaying appearance.

Li Qiufeng secretly thought in his heart that since Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne, he has always admired Taoism, and the local government has vigorously promoted Taoism, and the Taoist temples have been built luxuriously. Why is this Ziyang Temple in front of him so dilapidated, does Huang Chong dare not respect Taoism?

He thought for a moment, but he was still puzzled, so he had to walk quickly to the temple gate and knock lightly on the door a few times. After a while, I could only hear the sound of hurried footsteps coming from inside the door, and then the temple door was opened with a small gap, and half of the face of a Taoist aunt was revealed from the gap. Seeing this, this Dao Gu looked at Li Qiufeng for a moment, and said, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Li Qiufeng saw that this little Dao Gu was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the childishness on her face had not disappeared, although she spoke rudely, she didn't think it was wrong. Li Qiufeng said: "The Taoist chief is invited." Under the surname Li, I want to meet the few teachers who lived in Guiguan last night. ”

The little Taoist girl's face changed, she looked Li Qiufeng up and down, and said: "We are a Taoist temple here, there are only Taoist priests, where is there any teacher?"

After she finished speaking, she had to force the temple door shut. Li Qiufeng was stunned, seeing that the temple door was about to close, in a hurry, he stretched out his left hand and was poking into between the two doors, trying to stop Xiao Daogu from closing the door. That little Dao Gu is still young, she doesn't know how to do world affairs, and she doesn't know martial arts, so she has no sense of proportion. When I closed the door with both hands, I had used all my strength. When she saw Li Qiufeng's left hand reaching between the two doors, she was startled and wanted to pull the door down. It's just that she is a weak girl, how can she send and receive as freely as a person in the martial arts. I only heard a scream from Xiao Daogu, followed by a "click", and the temple door pushed by Xiao Daogu had tightly clamped Li Qiufeng's left arm.

That little Daogu's face changed greatly, and she regretted it in her heart. I secretly thought that I had used all my strength to push this person, and I sandwiched this person's arm between the temple gates, and it was strange that my arm was broken. Li Qiufeng saw that Xiao Daogu's face turned pale in an instant, and suddenly became joking. I only heard Li Qiufeng's "oops" scream, and then held his left arm with his right hand, and squatted on the ground.

The little Dao Gu hurriedly opened the temple door, leaned down, and said to Li Qiufeng in a trembling voice: "I, I didn't mean to pinch your arm...... Are you not, are you okay?"

Li Qiufeng looked pained, and said in a trembling voice: "My arm is broken, do you say it's okay?"

When the little Taoist aunt heard Li Qiufeng say that her arm was broken, she became more and more frightened, and she reached out to touch Li Qiufeng's left arm, but she didn't dare. He stood there for a moment, and suddenly he cried "wow".

Li Qiufeng originally just wanted to tease this little Dao Gu, but when he saw her suddenly crying, he was at a loss, hurriedly stood up, and said to Xiao Dao Gu: "Xiao Dao Chief, I'll scare you." You see, my arm is not hurt. ”

Li Qiufeng said as he turned his left arm a few times in front of the little Dao Gu's eyes. How do you know that when Xiao Daogu saw him like this, her crying became louder and louder. Li Qiufeng was embarrassed, and secretly scolded himself in his heart, why did he tease this little Dao Gu and make things unending.

When he was embarrassed, Xiao Daogu's cry had reached the temple. I could only hear the sound of footsteps, and many people rushed out of the main hall and the wing room in the temple. Li Qiufeng secretly thought that he was careless for a while, and he fell into trouble. If someone finds out that he is talking to this little Dao Gu here, he still thinks that he has bad intentions, which makes this little Dao Gu cry loudly. At that time, I was afraid that I couldn't speak clearly even if my whole body was full of mouth.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng turned around and wanted to slip away. Who knew that he had just walked down the stone steps, and suddenly heard an angry roar, and an object flew from the courtyard and smashed straight into the back of the autumn wind. Li Qiufeng's body flashed to the left, only to hear the sound of "whew", a wooden bench flew past Li Qiufeng's side, and after flying out of two or three feet, it fell to the ground with a "bang", and fell to pieces when he landed.

Li Qiufeng's heart sank. Yesterday, he saw the old Taoist aunt of Ziyang Temple who was taken to the city gate by the yamen to greet the nuns of the Kule Nunnery, and he really didn't know martial arts. Xiao Daogu, who had just opened the door, was not a person who practiced martial arts. At this time, someone suddenly threw a wooden bench, and the wind was strong, obviously a person in the martial arts made a move. Although this martial arts is not remarkable, Li Qiufeng did not expect that the female Taoist in the Ziyang Temple would also be able to do martial arts, and his heart was a little strange.

When he turned around, he saw that five or six people had already snatched out of the gate of Ziyang Temple, each wielding a long sword in his hand, and he was about to rush towards Li Qiufeng. It's just that as soon as Li Qiufeng turned around, these five or six people stopped again, and then one of them exclaimed: "Li Daxia, why are you?!"

Li Qiufeng looked fixedly, but saw that it was Huijing, Huiming, Huiwen and other bitter nuns who rushed out. Li Qiufeng had already held the handle of the embroidered spring knife in his right hand, but when he saw the faces of these people clearly, he let go of his right hand again.

Huijing and the others walked quickly in front of Li Qiufeng, and the long swords in their hands were returned to their sheaths. Huijing clasped her hands together, with a look of surprise and joy on her face, and said in a trembling voice: "Li Daxia, how did you get here?"

Li Qiufeng was embarrassed, thought for a moment, and then said: "I, I'm just coming over to see if you're okay......"

Huiwen smiled on the side: "What's wrong? After arriving here last night, Lang Zhong, the most famous man in the city, has been waiting here for a long time, giving us healing and dressing. And the temple has already prepared hot water and vegetarian food. We took a comfortable bath, ate enough, and even changed the monk's robe for us this morning. Li Daxia, thanks to you this time, we didn't suffer a big loss. “

Huiming, Huijing and others were also chattering non-stop, and when it came to the rise, they danced even more. Li Qiufeng was surrounded by a group of female nuns, saying no, laughing, and being quite embarrassed for a while. More than a dozen Dao Gu from Ziyang Guan also ran out and asked what happened to the little Dao Gu. It's just that the little Dao Gu was so frightened that she just kept sobbing, but she couldn't speak.

When there was chaos, I suddenly heard a person say loudly: "You look like this, how do you look like a disciple of Buddhism?!"
