It was a lonely and lazy afternoon, the sunlight sprinkled in front of the empty small temple in the west of Luotian Town, the blue sky in the distance, the mountain wind blew, and the sound of bamboo waves on the mountain was faintly heard, but somehow, it added a few parting meanings.

In addition to the walls around the temple, the walls of the small temple and the roof of the temple have been repaired intact, but the old and new paint painted are clearly demarcated, which is particularly dazzling, as if in the memory of the trauma of the past, and in the rear of the small temple, on an open field, a fairy temple was built.

The patriarch of the Liang clan was full of smiles and guided everyone to visit closer.

In the immortal temple, there are four statues standing in front of the main gate, life-size, in the middle is a monk and a scholar, the monk holds the Buddha beads, the Taoist horizontal sword is in front, the look is awe-inspiring, the right side is a scholar, standing with a negative hand, with a clear smile on the face, the left side is a sword-wielding woman, dressed in fluttering, the eyes are cold like frost, lifelike, the four statues are carved from the whole stone, it is really a ghostly workmanship, breathtaking, and behind the four stone statues, there are several layers of sacrificial tablets, engraved with a gilded small seal, "Master of Kongjue Temple", "Guiyunguan is a certain Taoist", the sandalwood in the temple is fragrant, the smoke is ethereal, the prayer flags are covered all around, and the candles are burning.

The patriarch of the Liang clan said with a smile: "These four stone statues are made by the 'skillful hand Liang' in my town, and their people are actually well-known stone carving masters, who have been recommended by Liang Shilang to enter Beijing to do garden stone carvings for the royal family, and I don't know if a few people are satisfied." ”

After a moment of silence, Kongxing stepped forward, clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, it is really unbelievable that the poor monk can carve such a delicate stone statue in such a short time, but I can't bear this living shrine." As he spoke, he glanced at Feng Shuzhu beside him.

Feng Shuzhu smiled and said nothing, but Liang Zong on the side opened the paper fan in his hand with a "swish", shook it a few times, and said with a smile: "From Liang's point of view, I can bear it, several of them are famous sword immortals, and this time I saved the people of Luotian Town from the disaster, not to mention that this is also the intention of the people." ”

Kong Xing was speechless for a while, but turned his head to look at Shui Lingyue and said, "This ......." ”

Shui Lingyue's face was indifferent, she just looked at the stone statue in front of her coldly, as if she hadn't heard everyone speak, and the senior sister Shui Yunyun, who was standing beside her, took over the conversation and said with a little anger: "It's true that we are a famous sword immortal, but my junior sister just happened to pass by, this stone statue doesn't stand, it's better to cut it off." As he spoke, he drew his sword.

When everyone heard this, they all changed color, Feng Shuzhu smiled clearly, took a step forward, blocked in front of Shui Yunqiu, and said: "This living shrine can't be erected, but this stone statue can't be destroyed." The crowd was puzzled.

Kong Xing hesitated for a moment and said, "Then Yifeng Shaoxia, what should I do about this matter?"

Feng Shuzhu turned to look at the stone statue and said, "This immortal shrine was originally for the people to pay tribute to the fallen sword immortals, I think, it is appropriate for me to wait for the four people to be the protectors of the law." ”

Kongxing's eyes lit up, and he asked, "How to be a Dharma protector?"

Feng Shuzhu said with a smile: "According to the scene of the day's fighting, Master Kongxing and Jingchen Zidao guarded the gate of this immortal temple for a long time, and Feng Mou was willing to guard the back of the house with the Water Woman. ”

When the patriarch of the Liang clan heard this, he stroked his beard, half-closed his eyes and said, "Feng Shaoxia's intention is to move this stone statue out of the ancestral hall and place it before and after the ancestral room?"

Feng Shuzhu nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Hearing this, Kongxing clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, this method is very wonderful, and the poor monk is willing to guard the door for the deceased." ”

After everyone understood, they agreed with it.

Feng Shuzhu glanced at Shui Lingyue beside him and said, "Water Woman, what do you think?"

Shui Lingyue's face was expressionless, her eyes were as cold as frost, and she said lightly: "I don't care." ”

Hearing this, the patriarch of the Liang clan turned to Liang Zong and said, "What does Liang Gongzi think?"

Liang Zong sighed, closed the paper fan, fell a few times to the palm of the other hand, and said: "This is the will of the townspeople, Liang has no intention of saying more, it is all up to the patriarch to decide." ”

Hearing this, Shui Yunyun snorted coldly, pouted, and pulled Liang Zong's sleeve, seemingly very unhappy in his heart.

The patriarch of the Liang clan looked around, and saw that everyone had no opinions, so he said loudly: "Okay, then follow the wind Shaoxia." Come and move the stone statue. ”

There were several strong men around who echoed the voice, and several people took ropes, rolling logs, etc., and began to carry the stone statues.

After a long time, the things of the year have been passed on several times, has become unrecognizable, but the incense of this immortal temple is very vigorous, but people come to worship is not the hundreds of immortal tablets in the ancestral hall, but the four stone statues before and after the ancestral room, it is said that especially the pair of male and female stone statues behind the ancestral hall if they seek marriage, it is actually very effective, after the reputation spreads, the people of the nearby ten miles and eight towns also ran to pay homage, of course, this is the later words.

On the occasion of parting, the patriarch of the Liang clan ordered someone to send melon and fruit specialties, and once again thanked him, the woodcutter Uncle Liang with a few coachmen and men, rushed to several cars and carriages, insisted on sending the benefactors to the official road, after several resignations, but in the end he could not resist the simple and sincere Uncle Liang, and the patriarch of the Liang clan also insisted on the reason that Kongxing and others were injured, and everyone had to comply.

Kong Xing and Feng Shuzhu represented everyone, and after saying goodbye to the patriarch of the Liang clan and others, they turned around and boarded the carriage, because the monks of Kongjue Temple took several carriages, and left Feng Shuzhu and others with only the carriage of Uncle Liang.

Because it was the first time she took the carriage, Chu Qing climbed into the carriage early with the little fat bear bag, and looked up and down carefully, for her, whether it was the beautifully carved window rafters, the yellowed drapery due to the wind and sun, or the polished copper hanging, or even the peeling paint in the car, it was full of freshness.

The monks of Kongjue Temple waited for a moment and then set off first, leaving only the woodcutter Liang Laobo to wait silently in a car.

It's just that Shui Yunyun and Liang Zongmeng are full of farewell, it is really like "holding hands and looking at tears", which makes people unbearable to look at directly, and finally, under the urging of Chu Qing, Shui Yunyun looked back step by step, boarded the carriage, and waved goodbye to Liang Zonggongzi, who was smiling and chanting from beginning to end.

Because of the past, Chu Qing has always "looked at Shui Yunqiu" with a "different eye", and he was really curious about this carriage, so Chu Qing did not sit in the car, but sat in the front of the car with the woodcutter Uncle Liang, learning to pull the reins on the side, waving the whip and shouting, so unhappy.

With the bumps and ups of the road, in the sound of "da-da" horses' hooves, everyone went away. Shui Yunyun still couldn't help but look back, only to see that the sky was getting dark, and he could vaguely see the patriarch of the Liang clan and the villagers still standing there, but their faces were blurred, and the white-clothed, suave Liang Zonggongzi had disappeared, so he reluctantly turned his head, and what fell into his eyes was Feng Shuzhu with a clear smile, so he "hummed" disdainfully, turned his head, buried his head in contemplation, sometimes wiped his tears with his sleeves, and sometimes shrugged his shoulders, looking like "Qishui soup soup, gradually car curtains", so he was not sad.

Shui Lingyue sat beside Shui Yunyun, facing the wind and bamboo, her eyes were lowered, her face was cold like frost, her white and slender hands were holding the Shui Yue Sword, her ruddy and shiny red lips were pursed from time to time.

"It takes 200 miles to go to be crowded, I remember that there is a small tea stall next to the official road, where the merchants rest. "Feng Shuzhu seems to be talking to himself, and it seems to be speaking to others.

Shui Lingyue raised her head, glanced at Feng Shuzhu, and said a light "um", a pair of bright eyes blinked a few times, as if she was reminiscing.

Feng Shuzhu saw her words, and continued: "After the official road, does the water girl want the sword to fly straight back to the Water Moon Palace?" ”

Shui Lingyue hesitated for a moment, turned her head to look at the senior sister beside her, and said softly, "Imperial Sword, it's much faster." ”

Feng Shuzhu nodded, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "Feng has lived in Cangqing Mountain Jade Shoot Peak for a long time, and if he has a fate in the future, he welcomes the two heroines to come as guests." ”

Hearing this, Shui Yunyun raised a pair of red and swollen eyes that were crying, pursed his lips, snorted coldly, and twisted his head to the side.

Shui Lingyue saw it in her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Shui Yue Palace has never interacted with the outside world. Speaking of this, his face seemed to be a little paler, and a faint hesitation flashed in a pair of cold eyes, which was replaced by firmness later, and said coldly: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Feng Shaoxia." ”

A gust of wind penetrated through the car window, blowing a few long hairs in her ears, gently brushing her neck and cheeks, lining Katsuyuki's skin, there was a touching beauty, but a sigh was faintly heard.

Feng Shuzhu smiled on his face and said: "When the rivers and lakes meet, it is fate, who can say clearly what happened in other days." ”

Hearing this, Shui Lingyue pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and the hand holding the Shui Yue Sword tightened a little, and stopped speaking.

Feng Shuzhu turned his head, gently picked up the curtain of the car window with his fingers, the carriage galloped forward, but saw the twilight was vast, the distant mountains were hazy, there was a big lake not far from the roadside, the lake was wide, the surrounding water and grass were abundant, there seemed to be a little fish boat in the lake with the water waves from time to time, there seemed to be a fisherman's song in the breeze, looming, a group of water and sky, the fishing boat sang the evening scenery.

"Uncle Liang, why is this?" said Feng Shuzhu in a loud voice.

Uncle Liang shouted outside the carriage: "Shuangshan Lake, son, it's time to go to the official road." After saying that, there was a shout of "driving", and then a whip was thrown, and the carriage suddenly sped up again.

As soon as the words fell, a strong wind blew, and suddenly the yellow sand was everywhere, the dust covered the sky, the carriage was blown to the point that it was difficult to move an inch, the horses were frightened and roared, and then a red light flashed, and there was an exclamation from Chu Qing outside the car.

Feng Shuzhu and Shui Lingyue were startled at the same time, glanced at each other, and immediately broke through the roof of the carport and flew out. Shui Lingyue drew her sword in her hand, standing in the air, her white clothes fluttering in the wind, her hair on her shoulders, and her cold face, she was really glamorous.

Chu Qing, who was standing at the head of the carriage, pulled the reins with one hand and pointed to the sky with the other, and said astringently: "Brother Feng, Uncle Liang has been kidnapped." ”

Vision, above the lake, a red light crossed, and flew towards the distant mountains at high speed, the wind and bamboo did not answer, the body flickered, the human sword was one, and turned into a fluorescent chase down.

Chu Qing grabbed the frightened horse and whispered a few reassuring sounds, but the horse seemed to be able to understand her words, snorted a few times, and then obediently stood still in place.

Shui Lingyue looked around in the air, and found that there was no more vision, Fang slowly descended, put away the Shui Yue Sword, and stood quietly beside Chu Qing.

Shui Yunyu, who was lying on the carriage due to violent shaking, woke up like a dream at this time, looked puzzled, and said in surprise: "Senior sister, what happened?"

Seeing her react like this, Chu Qing pouted, with a look of contempt, jumped out of the carriage, pulled up the reins, and tied the horse to a low tree on the side of the road. The little chubby bear bag also came out of the cloth bag, stepped on the soft fine sand on the side of the road, kept bounceing his legs, shook off the sand stuck to his feet, and then looked at the surrounding lakes and mountains in amazement.

Seeing Senior Sister's misty look, Shui Lingyue shook her head lightly and said in a low voice, "It's okay." Stretched out his hand to hold the senior sister, jumped out of the carriage together, stood quietly aside, and looked in the direction that Feng Shuzhu was chasing.

Feng Shuzhu and the sword were one, chasing for a while over Shuangshan Lake, and when he saw that he was about to catch up with the red light, he suddenly saw the red light shaking in front of him, and then there was an exclamation, and a black figure was thrown down. Feng Shuzhu's heart moved, and after falling sharply, after recognizing that it was the woodcutter Liang, the fluorescence flashed, and his figure appeared, and he reached out and grabbed his back shirt, slowly lifted the person up, and after standing still, he raised his eyes again to see that the red light had disappeared in the vast mountains.

Uncle Liang dared to open his eyes at this time, and he was stunned for a long time, Fang came to his senses, saw that it was Feng Shuzhu, and said excitedly: "Yes, it's you, thank you for saving your life." Saying that, he couldn't help but cry, and he lowered his head and was just about to wipe his tears, when he suddenly saw himself hanging in the air, and suddenly he was so frightened that his feet kicked wildly, and his body shook again.

Feng Shuzhu hurriedly hugged Uncle Liang's body and said softly: "Uncle don't panic, you just don't need to look down." Seeing that his body was stable, he continued to ask, "Is the old man injured?"

Uncle Liang half-closed his eyes, no longer dared to look around, and said tremblingly: "The old man is fine, that person didn't hurt me, but just held me hostage and flew for a while." ”

Feng Shuzhu frowned and said, "Does the old man see that person's appearance clearly?" ”

Uncle Liang said: "The old man was driving, and suddenly a strange wind blew, only to feel a flash of red light in front of him, and the person was in the air, only the sound of whirring wind in his ears, and his eyes were difficult to open. Oh, by the way, Childe, the man said something when he held me hostage. ”

Feng Shuzhu was startled, and immediately asked, "What words?"

Uncle Liang seemed to be reminiscing, and said: "When he flew over the lake, the man paused, as if looking back, and then said that if you borrow it, just chase it." ”

When Feng Shuzhu heard this, he was shocked in his heart, and said secretly: "It's not good!" turned around and flew back in the direction he came from, as fast as a night fire meteor, and after a while, he saw the carriage parked safely on the side of the road from a distance, and he could vaguely see the figures of Shui Lingyue, Chu Qing and others, and he felt a little relieved in his heart.

After Feng Shuzhu fell, Uncle Liang's feet hit the ground, and he was already paralyzed to the side, Chu Qing stepped forward to help him, turned his head and asked, "Brother Feng, have you caught up with the bad guy?"

Feng Shuzhu raised his eyes and looked around, shook his head, and asked rhetorically, "After I left, didn't you meet anyone?"

Chu Qing shook her head and said, "No, Sister Shui also checked around and found nothing." ”

Feng Shuzhu turned his head to look and saw that Shui Lingyue had no expression on his face, just nodded lightly.

Secretly thinking, now everyone is safe and sound, if the other party is not to divert the tiger from the mountain, what is the purpose of the owner of the red light, and he did not hurt Uncle Liang, is it the wrong person, if it is true, it can't be said "borrow you, just chase it", the target is not Uncle Liang, nor Shui Lingyue Chuqing and others, what is the purpose of this person, all kinds of thoughts in his mind flipped, Feng Shuzhu frowned slightly, and fell into contemplation for a while.

Chu Qing and the others on the side seemed to see that he was thinking about things, so they didn't bother anymore, only the little fat bear bag had nothing to do, sniffing here for a while, sniffing where for a while, either digging up the roots of the weeds and putting them in his mouth to chew a few times, or picking a small flower and smelling it, occasionally rolling on the ground, for Shui Lingyue, who was standing on the side, he peeked a few times from time to time, but because of the "earring festival" with Shui Yunyun, he deliberately did not dare to approach.

Shui Yunyun stood beside Shui Lingyue, his mind was not at the moment at all, but looked back in the direction of Luotian Town from time to time, as if he had lost his soul somewhere, and his lovesickness was overflowing.

Uncle Liang, the woodcutter, gasped a little, then got up, looked at Chu Qing who was supporting him, his honest face was full of gratitude, he staggered to the carriage, looked at the sky, and said forcefully: "Childe, it's not early, it's better to continue on the road, if not, you won't be able to catch up with the empty mage." ”

Feng Shuzhu, who was in deep thought, heard the words, but was suddenly reminded, could it be that the person held Uncle Liang hostage, just led me to chase, so as to delay the meeting time with Kongxing and others, so thinking about it, the monks of Kongjue Temple are already in danger.

While thinking, I heard a commotion, from far to near, mixed with the sound of horses' hooves, the sound of the carriage shaking, the sound of the coachman shouting and waving the whip, and when I looked up, a group of carriages galloped forward, and a long line of dust and smoke was dragged up behind the convoy.

The convoy was in a blink of an eye, the coachman took the reins, stopped the carriage, Feng Shuzhu approached to see, it was the chauffeur sent by the town to send the monks of the Kongjue Temple, the head of the man jumped out of the carriage, arched his hand, and said: "Feng Shaoxia, Water Woman." ”

Feng Shuzhu returned the salute and said, "Dare to ask Brother Tai, where are Master Kongxing and the others now?"

The man turned around and pointed, and immediately replied: "Our brothers, we have sent the masters to the official road, and Master Kongxing led everyone to get off the car, and before leaving, if we meet Feng Shaoxia on the way back, tell me that they will settle near the small tea stall tonight." ”

When Feng Shuzhu heard this, he nodded, half of his worries and doubts disappeared, and he arched his hand and said, "There is Brother Laotai." He turned around and explained the situation to everyone, and asked Uncle Liang to go back to the town with the coachmen, because he continued to drive to the official road, with the current sky, I am afraid it will be difficult to catch up with the empty line and others, not to mention that it will take two hundred miles to go to the small tea stall from the official road, and he can only fly with the sword.

When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement, only Chu Qing was reluctant to give up on the carriage, stepped forward, patted the wheel, touched the carriage box, hugged the horse, and whispered a few words against the horse's head.

After sending everyone away, Chu Qing looked reluctant, Feng Shuzhu saw it in his eyes, and said: "When he has free time in the future, Brother Feng will accompany you in the carriage again, there will be many opportunities in the future." ”

Chu Qing heard that this was obviously a child's words, pouted, and said with a displeased face: "Brother Feng, a carriage costs a thousand taels of silver." ”

When Feng Shuzhu heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "How to make those silver taels, a brand-new carriage with horses is nothing more than a hundred taels of silver, and your one thousand taels of silver tickets can buy a horse convoy." ”

When Chu Qing heard this, his face was full of unhappiness, and he said happily: "Really, can I buy a carriage then?"

Feng Shuzhu laughed and said, "It seems that you have learned a lot of driving skills from Uncle Liang today." ”

Chu Qing smiled and said, "Actually, it's a long way, I'm driving, Uncle Liang is about to fall asleep, if he hadn't been kidnapped, maybe I could have learned more." ”

Feng Shuzhu saw that Chu Qing's mood had improved, and turned his head to Shui Lingyue and said: "Water girl, the matter here is still quite strange, waiting for further confirmation, why don't you follow me tonight to chase after Kongxing and others, if there is an accident, you can also take care of it." As he spoke, he looked at Shui Lingyue's side with a dejected Shui Yunyun.

Shui Lingyue hesitated slightly, looked at her senior sister, and finally nodded slightly.

At this time, the night is gradually falling, the sky has darkened, the mountains in the distance are undulating, the cool wind blows on the wide lake, a little fishing fire, undulating with the waves, like troubles in the world, a wave of unsettled waves, and seems to be calm and calm, let your wind blow and waves, I only sit on the fishing boat.

After a few sounds of breaking the air, the wind and bamboo pulled Chu Qing, and Shui Lingyue carried the water clouds, rose in the sky, and flew forward.

In Chu Qing's memory, this seems to be the first time to fly with Feng Shuzhu Edgeworth, and before that, when he was injured by the old demon of the silverfish, he was rescued by Feng Shuzhu in a daze, and Edgeworth flew back to Si Xiaozhu. Chu Qing obviously felt that it was different from Yuan Wuxi's imperial sword, Feng Shuzhu's imperial sword was faster, sharper, and the sound of breaking the air was sharp, but it was not like the previous flight experience, the wind blew his face, and his eyes were difficult to open, but he was clearly visible to the surrounding things, if it wasn't for taking care of Shui Lingyue and the two beside him, Chu Qing believed that with the speed of Feng Shuzhu's imperial sword, he had already flown far away, and the little fat bear bag in the cloth bag seemed to have discovered this situation, and actually came out of the cloth bag, climbed onto Chu Qing's back, squatted down, grabbed his clothes, and looked around with a grin.

Four people and one beast, flying together along the official road, at this time, looking down, the official road shuttling in the ancient jungle, like a yellow cloth belt, gracefully fluttering, so the sky is getting late, pedestrians on the road are difficult to see, flying off the beaten track, but happened to see a group of wild deer, more than a dozen or so, under the leadership of the head deer, after careful testing, quickly jumped across the official road, ran into the dense ancient forest, seemed to be avoiding unknown dangers.
