The sky was covered with black mist, ashes of unknown purpose.

The mud bodhisattva knelt under the Bodhi tree and prayed, and the clear spring at his feet had been dyed blood-red.

A leader of the monks came to her and said, "Venerable, our Hongyi artillery team was attacked last night. Seven or eight out of ten of the cannons were damaged, and more than half of the gunners were killed or wounded. ”

The mud bodhisattva turned a deaf ear and muttered: "Relic, the color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color; color is emptiness, and emptiness is color." The same is true of what you want to do......"

She finished reciting a Buddhist scripture before she said lightly: "Oh, I know." After all...... He is Bai Yaoxing. As an enemy of the Obsidian Star, how can you not have this ability?"

"Venerable ......" the monk said regretfully, "That's the charity of our Mingwang Temple for nearly ten years!"

The mud bodhisattva smiled slightly: "Money is something outside the body. As a monk, how can you be greedy for these things? In order to welcome the arrival of the sect master, let alone ten years of charity, what can you do if you want us all to be crushed?"

The monk lowered his eyebrows and said, "What the Venerable Lord said is extremely true, and the disciple is abrupt. ”

"Let's go down. The mud bodhisattva waved his sleeves slightly. "Oh, yes. Get all of us together, I have something to announce. ”

Next to the ancient road outside the city, Li Yan and the group met again.

After a night of fighting, they were all disgraced and exhausted.

Li Yan asked, "Mr. Huo, what are your plans next?"

Huo Jun's eyes were as firm as iron, and after the test of life and death this night, he had also grown.

"The sect master is gone, and so are the twelve elders. All order is ruined. But this is only the first step of the mud bodhisattva. She might be going to do something even crazier. I want to go to Helan Mountain to reconvene the old ministry of the prince, and those warriors are the last hope of the white tiger. ”

"I will also do my best to stop the mud bodhisattva. Li Yan said: "My master is very smart, he will definitely think of a way to stop the war." ”

Princess Silver Bell suddenly said in a deep voice, "What? won't you come with us?"

Li Yan was surprised and said, "Didn't I say it at the beginning? I'm going back to save my master." ”

Huo Jun suddenly smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and took out a brocade box from his personal pocket and handed it over.

Li Yan opened it and saw that it was a pure white lotus flower, and the petals seemed to still have morning dew hanging on them—but they had experienced a baptism of blood and fire last night.

"What is this?"

Huo Jun said: "This is the real Millennium Snow Lotus. Brother Li is loyal, and he must not be deceived when he walks the rivers and lakes in the future. ”

Li Yan said abruptly: "Mr. Huo, what are you trying to trick me with a fake flower!"

Huo Jun said: "I said that everything is like chess, and you need to calculate it in one step and three times. Huo Mou will be a person who will enter and exit in the future, how can there be no furrow in his chest?"

Li Yan smiled bitterly, put the box away carefully, cherished it to a few people, and then beat the horse and left.

He walked for half an hour, and suddenly saw a ride behind him. It was the bull who came with a whip.

He shouted in surprise: "Brother Niu......" As soon as he said half of the words, he swallowed the second half of the sentence. For he noticed that the hammer of the bull was not behind his back, but in his hand.

This is a posture of readiness to fight.

Niu La really said with a murderous face: "Brother Li, Niu La is here to invite you back!"

"Oh, was it your idea, or Mr. Huo's?"

"Neither. Niu La shook her head, "That's what the princess meant." You are a skilled swordsman, and you are a usable person. When you go back, the princess will make you a big official!"

Li Yan smiled: "But you didn't come to invite me, did you?"

"I'm not here to invite you, so what am I here for?"

"You're here to kill me. ”

Niu La stopped talking, staring at Li Yan with a pair of eyes.

Li Yan asked: "Brother Niu, we can be regarded as friends who share hardships and sorrows, why do you and the princess force each other so much?"

Niu La clenched the hammer: "The princess just wants you to go back, and I am the one who wants to kill you." It's only been a short day, but I can make the glint in Princess Silverbell's eyes as she looks at you.

She's already in love with you.

I have been silently guarding him for more than ten years, but she has never looked at me with such eyes. ”

Li Yan said: "If you are like this, Princess Yinling will not fall in love with you anyway?"

"What did you say?" the murderous aura on Niu La's face became even stronger.

Li Yan said: "This is the truth. No woman likes a man who has no opinions and is obedient to her. They like heroes, men who stand up to the sky, not slaves who bow down to their ears.

Maybe as long as you are willing to make some changes, she will slowly fall in love with you,"

After saying that, Li Yan waved his hand and walked away without looking back. The figure gradually disappeared on the long post road.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————

However, it was said that Li Yan returned to the bottom of the Guillotine Ridge, found the three of them, and gave the thousand-year-old snow lotus to Liu Banxian to decoction. This medicine really fulfilled like a god, and pulled Liu Banxian back from the palace of the king of Hades. However, his vitality has been greatly damaged since then, and his black hair suddenly turned gray.

Li Yan told the three of them about his experience in Baihufan. Liu Banxian was silent, but Chao Yuanzi said: "This mud bodhisattva is very evil, I haven't heard of this person's name before, how could she do such a big thing all of a sudden?"

Li Yan said: "This person entered the Qin Palace's Mansion as a guest ten years ago. Looking back now, I should have nothing to do with her when I was wronged. ”

Mixed Yuanzi nodded: "If this is the case, I'm afraid it's been planned for a long time." ”

He pondered for a moment and hugged his fist to Liu Banxian: "Senior brother, this matter is very important. Our Kunlun faction is only a hundred miles away from the White Tiger Fan, and I have to go back to report to the master and his old man, so as to be fully prepared. ”

Liu Banxian nodded: "What the third brother said is extremely true. Please ...... when you go back Please bring a good ...... to Master."

"This is natural. ”

After saying that, he said goodbye to Li Yan and Zhi'er again, then put the long sword on his back and strode away. Although he is irritable, he acts decisively, comes and goes like the wind, and he is also a hero.

Li Yan asked Liu Banxian again, "Master, what about us?"

Liu Banxian stroked his beard lightly: "What do you say the mud bodhisattva will do after occupying Yacheng?"

Li Yan scratched his head: "I don't know, I'm not her." ”

Liu Banxian suddenly stood up, took steps and said, "She won't ...... You won't lead the crowd to invade the Central Plains, will you?"

Li Yan hurriedly waved his hand: "Master, they themselves are all in civil strife, how can they have time to fight us?"

Liu Banxian shook his head: "This mud bodhisattva is so crazy, he will definitely not play cards according to common sense." More importantly, this so-called 'monk soldier' only knows how to destroy, but not how to rebuild.

Once they stop, they will be overwhelmed by the heavy logistical burden, so they will have to fight non-stop to survive. Aren't the most fertile lands all in the Central Plains?

The teacher has decided, let's leave for Yongning! Even if it's just a reminder to the imperial court, it's good. ”
