The full moon hangs on the branches, and occasionally thin clouds drift by, covering the moonlight.

The young man rode the burning cloud to the broken temple in the west of the city, turned over and dismounted, and looked into the broken temple with his baggage.

The dilapidated temple has become more desolate since the wall was broken by the general's horse, and most of the walls have collapsed, and the old willows in the temple can be seen swaying in the wind in the gap.

There is a thousand-year-old willow in the down-and-out temple, the broken temple is pitch black, the evening breeze blows, and the broken windows make a strange creaking sound, which makes people's hearts hairy.

After seeing Lao Shankui, the belief that there are no ghosts and gods in the world in the young man's heart is constantly shaking, after all, this world is not the afterlife, there are too many strange things.

Taking out the withered willow branch from his bosom, Zhong Ming's courage grew, no matter what kind of ghost or god he was, he had not shown ill will towards him so far, and he was here to worship.

As the saying goes, if you don't hit a smiling face, the young man comes with incense in his hand, no matter what is in the temple, can he still beat him a pilgrim who is willing to come?

Looking at the incense and candle tributes in his hands, the young man puffed up his chest, gave himself courage, and led the horse into the temple.

But Zhong Ming led the burning cloud to the gate of the broken temple, and the burning cloud suddenly raised his hooves and hissed, and refused to enter the temple no matter how much the young man pulled.

The young man had no choice but to leave the fire cloud outside the temple, and the fire cloud was honest, and he would not run around without tying the reins.

The perception of animals is more sensitive than that of people, and the appearance of burning clouds in front of him, Zhong Ming also confirmed that there is indeed something strange in the temple.

The young man stepped into the temple alone, and he cheered up his spirit and went straight to Lao Liu.

The willow branches in the courtyard are swaying, and the old willows are already luxuriant, and they are much more lush than in previous days.

When the matter came, the young man was very calm, now that he had entered the temple, the tension in his heart was much less, and he probably had an indomitable momentum.

The young man's mouth began to chatter: "The old fairy in the courtyard, thank you for saving the kid's life that day, today the kid made a special trip to thank you, if you bother, don't be surprised." ”

I don't know what is in this temple, and the young man has no experience of praying to God and worshiping Buddha, so he can only learn the appearance of worshipping in the previous life.

He took out the willow branch that had long withered in his bosom, and put it under the willow root, and then took out the sacrificial wine from the package, placed it in front of the willow tree, lit incense and candles, burned yellow paper, and kowtowed.

How to worship in this world, young people don't know, but in their hometown, they all burn paper, light incense and kowtow.

Then the young man entered the broken Taoist temple in the dark, but fortunately there was a leak in the roof, and the moonlight sprinkled in the Taoist temple, and the young man could see clearly through the faint moonlight.

He lit incense and burned paper, and bowed three times to the broken idol before the young man got up.

The temple was still silent, the evening breeze blew and the willow branches swayed.

The young man waited for a long time, and nothing happened.

Sighing, Zhong Ming secretly guessed that maybe the old fairy was not at home, or maybe the old fairy didn't want to see him.

The young man walked to the courtyard, touched the trunk of the thousand-year-old willow, and said in a low voice: "Old fairy, I don't know if you are still in the temple, the grace of the willow branch to save his life that day, the boy will remember it in his heart, and he will never forget it in this life, if you are still there today, the boy please show up and see it." ”

The answer to the young man is still the breeze and the moon.

The wind was much stronger, and the willow branches were even more spreading, but they only swayed with the wind, and not even a single willow leaf fell.

It seems that the things in the temple today do not want to appear in front of Zhong Ming.

"Well, I'm here, I'm going to have a pot of wine with you. ”

Although no one replied to Zhong Ming, the young man still felt that a pair of eyes were staring at him when he spoke just now.

Sitting cross-legged under the tree, the young man opened the altar of green bamboo, and there were three wine saucers in front of him, one for the old willow and the other for the statue of the god.

The young man himself picked up the wine saucer and drank it all, and the liquor entered his throat and drenched in pleasure.

"This green bamboo brew is a good wine, although it is also a stream of rice wine, but it is brewed in a bamboo tube, with the aroma of bamboo leaves, if the old fairy can't taste it, it will be a pity. ”

With that, the young man took up the other two wine plates, one under the roots of the willow tree, and the other to the statue of the temple.

I don't know if such a fairy spirit can drink wine, but in the past life, young people often did this with others.

Drink one plate, pour two plates, and the young man will drink the small amount of green bamboo brewed in less than a stick of incense.

In the process, the young man mostly talked to himself, and no one answered him, and he was accompanied only by the sound of the wind and the rustling of willow branches.

Seeing that the wine had been drunk, and the young man was also drunk, he stood up with the Yama Absolute Sword, and bowed to Lao Liu and the statue in the temple, and said, "Old fairy, the boy is leaving, and I will bring tribute to you another day." ”

There was silence in the courtyard, and the moonlight shone on the young man, who was like a fool and nagged himself for half the night.

But the young man believed in the gods in this temple, after all, he had saved his life that day.

Seeing that there was still no reply, Zhong Ming sighed and walked out with a knife.

At this moment, suddenly the burning cloud outside the temple let out a hoarse sound, and the frightened burning cloud broke through the door and ran around in panic.

Zhong Ming frowned and shouted, "Huozhuoyun, what's wrong with you?"

Huoyun is very honest on weekdays, but also very quiet, rarely hissing, but today it is abnormal.

Although the old horse had spirituality, he couldn't answer the young man's question, so he just hid behind the young man and hissed at the position outside the courtyard.

Touching the long face of the burning clouds, the young man comforted the old horse and listened.

I only heard someone outside the door whispering angrily: "You idiot, you can't even look at a horse, if something goes wrong, go back and take your head for the errand!"

Hearing this, the young man was shocked, he didn't need to listen much to know that the person who came was not good, and he opened his mouth and closed his mouth to take his head to give the errand, could it be that he was the one who came to ask for his own life?

His mind was racing, and the young man's face became more and more ugly, and he immediately led the fire cloud to the side of the broken wall.

Zhong Ming was originally a thin teenager, and he had only been practicing the knife for a few days, and it was absolutely impossible for him to know that he was in danger and would hit him, so his first thought was to run.

But after all, it was late, and as soon as the young man ran to the broken wall, a man dressed in black and covered with a black cloth came out and blocked the young man.

The two people in front of him were sturdy men with horizontal knives in hand, and when they saw them dexterously jumping over the broken wall, they knew that these two people were practitioners.

Don't panic, that's fake, the young man's heart beats like a drum.

With a glimmer of hope, the young man pretended to be stupid, clenched his fists and grinned: "Good night for the two heroes, please borrow a way, I'm leaving." ”

"Where are you going?" Zhong Ming, this ruined temple is your burial place tonight!"

The person who came named and said that he wanted to take Zhong Ming's life, and as the young man guessed, he was the one who came to take his life.

Since he is the one who came to ask for his own life, it is not good to be so foolish.

Although he didn't know why, the young man could only draw his sword to deal with it, and the young man held the knife in both hands, and the inky black blade shone in the moonlight.

One person on the other side responded with a knife, and the other immediately whistled.

When the whistle sounded, the young man could hear all the sounds outside the courtyard, and there were no less than ten people who came to listen to the sound, and this was specially to surround him.

Secretly said that it was going to be bad, and the young man suppressed the panic in his heart and began to think about countermeasures.

There are a large number of people on the other side, and it is impossible to break out of the encirclement with the kung fu of his own three-legged cat, so he can only hope that the other party has no horses, and he can find a time to get out and escape on the fire cloud.

His mind was decided, and the young man's eyes were fierce, and he slashed with his knife.

After practicing the knife for more than seven days, the young man's strength has increased a lot, and this knife is fast and heavy, cutting directly at the man who is holding the knife to deal with it.

The man just snorted coldly, and raised his knife in front of him, to block the knife that the young man slashed straight down.

The two knives collided, and a sonorous sound began.

The young man only felt a huge force of shock coming from the hilt of the knife, and his arms were numb, and it was not easy to control his body and not fall over.

The man on the other side was also uncomfortable, he didn't expect Zhong Ming's knife strength to be so heavy, he staggered back two steps, and then looked at his horizontal knife, but he was cut out of the gap by the Absolute Sound Knife, and the Absolute Sound Knife was safe and sound.

The advantage of the divine weapon was immediately apparent, and if the young man's strength was great, it was enough to cut this horizontal knife.

The man with the knife took two steps back and reminded: "Be careful of this kid's knife, it is strange and sharp." ”

The man who blew the whistle first also hurriedly set up his knife and helped his companion deal with Zhong Ming.

The young man's ears could hear the louder and louder voices behind him, and he understood that the thieves were surrounding him, so he could only grit his teeth and raise the knife and cut again.

The other party had already taken precautions against this knife, and one person held it up, and the other drew his knife and swept it towards the young man's waist.

The young man hurriedly stepped back, but there was still a thud at his waist, and the blade slashed through the hem of his robe, cutting most of his clothes in half.

Zhong Ming secretly scolded that it was dangerous, if he retreated a moment late, it would be his waist that would be broken.

At this moment, the young man also realized that the rivers and lakes of Cema were never as happy as they appeared on the surface, and there was also a risk of death behind them.

After making two moves in a row, the young man didn't get any benefits, and at this time, the people behind him had already surrounded him.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen strong men dressed in black surrounded the young man and looked at the young man with fierce eyes.

The fire clouds couldn't stop digging hooves and hissing, and the young man's mood became more and more nervous.

Looking around, the young man's heart was in a panic, and the scene reminded him of the situation when he first arrived here three years ago, and was targeted by the group of hungry red-eyed ghouls.

It's the same group of people, and it's also a weak teenager who is powerless.

I want to resist, but I can't get started, and I can't break free from the encirclement if I struggle hard.

Calm down! You must be calm! Only by calming down can there be a possibility of escape.

The young man shouted frantically in his heart, forcing himself to calm down.

He tried not to shake his trembling hands too much, and the young man looked over and found a tall, bald head in the crowd.

Bareheaded?

There are very few bald people in the town, if the young man is not mistaken, only the Chen Huyuan of the Wu family in the city is a bald head, he practiced martial arts in the early years, cut his long hair to show his determination to practice martial arts, and then worshiped under the Wu family and became a famous guest.

Later, Chen Huyuan practiced the knife well, and was reused by the Wu family and promoted to the chief nursing home.

Knowing that he couldn't defeat this group of people, the young man could only come up with a clever plan, and immediately said: "You are from the Wu family!"

The young man's mind is racing, his heart is thinking about the plan, and he uses the procrastination trick in his mouth.

But he didn't think about the bald Chen Huyuan and said sharply: "He recognizes us, give it to me! Hurry up and take him down, so as not to have too many dreams at night!"

At the sound of an order, the group of black-clothed men pounced on the young man with knives.

Zhong Ming secretly scolded the TV series in his previous life for deceiving people!

It's not like this in the TV series, shouldn't they talk to themselves, why is it slashing and killing when they say it?

At this time, the young man was really smart but was mistaken by the cleverness, and he fell into a desperate situation with one word.

Seeing that this group of black-clothed people were strong and sharp, the young man couldn't stop it at all, so he could only raise his knife and grit his teeth to block it.

At this moment, a sentence suddenly sounded in the young man's ears: "Don't be afraid, just pick up a knife and slash!"
