The sky is light, and the morning light is shining.

Through the hazy light, it can be vaguely seen that there is a small temple in the west of Luotian Town, the glazed tiles on the top of the temple are half new and half old, the eight-character pink wall on both sides of the mountain gate, some parts of the adobe have been peeled off, the green paint brushed on the temple door has also fallen off, you can see a main hall in the temple, carved lacquer painted wooden bucket arch, bluestone dragon pillar, stone carving drums on both sides, carved window lattice, in the center of the stone statue of a young woman, the head is covered with auspicious cloud treasure, the appearance is dignified and lifelike, the hair combs the fairy bun, wears a long skirt of the immortals, steps on the lotus flower barefoot, holds a huge snail in both hands, there is no hole inside (note: the outer round cover of the Yan snail), staring aheadThere is an incense burner in front of the hall, and there are several packets of incense candles stacked next to it, which is covered with dust, and there is no incense for a long time.

In the main hall, there are three people sitting on the ground, bathed in the morning light, it is the three people of Feng Shuzhu, Master Kongxing, and Jing Chenzi. Master Kongxing is in the center, meditating with his back to the fairy statue, and Feng Shuzhu and Jing Chenzi are on both sides, sitting facing each other.

The wind sparse bamboo and the empty mage, their eyes are slightly closed, their breath is calm, and their faces are as heavy as water.

Jing Chenzi frowned, his eyes were rolling from time to time, he suddenly opened his eyes, exhaled, looked at Feng Shuzhu and Kong Xing without any reaction, thought about it, then simply stood up, looked up at the sky outside the hall, turned around and glanced at the two of them, and said: "Two Taoist friends, the sky is already twilight, Poor Dao wants to go to Luotian Mountain to take a walk, maybe there will be other discoveries." ”

Hearing this, Master Kongxing slowly opened his eyes, recited a Buddha name, and said, "Amitabha, the poor monk should wait here for his disciple Kongming, so that the master will respect the important decree of the Venerable Master." ”

Feng Shuzhu also slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Jing Chenzi, and said lightly: "Jing Chenzi's proposal is feasible, but I also want to know what the Venerable Master has as soon as possible." ”

Jing Chenzi heard that Feng Shuzhu agreed with his proposal, and said with a smile: "It's better for the empty mage to stay here, and Feng Shaoxia and Poor Dao go out to find out the news, what if?"

Feng Shuzhu pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and turned his gaze to the empty mage who was meditating on the side.

Master Kongxing glanced at Feng Shuzhu, then looked at Jing Chenzi, and said lightly: "Amitabha, the poor monk has no objection, then there are two Taoist friends." ”

Jing Chenzi's face was happy, and he was about to leave, but he heard Feng Shuzhu say behind him: "The two of them are too ostentatious together, Jing Chenzi is long, why don't you and I act separately, what if?"

Jing Chenzi was stunned for a moment, stopped his steps, turned around, thought about it and then woke up, and said: "It's still Feng Shaoxia's thoughtfulness, then the poor road still goes to the front mountain, why should Feng Shaoxia go to the back mountain?"

Feng Shuzhu smiled and nodded: "I also want to go to the back mountain to explore." ”

Master Kongxing had already stood up at this time, walked to Feng Shuzhu's side, and said lightly: "If you find out, I hope that the two Taoist friends will come here in time to inform the poor monk." ”

Feng Shuzhu and Jing Chenzi looked at the empty mage, and nodded at the same time, both agreeing.

The two of them said goodbye to the empty line, went out of the main gate of the small temple, and beside the pink eight-character wall, Jing Chenzi arched his hand and said: "Feng Shaoxia, the poor road has gone to the front mountain, and the back mountain road is far and difficult, you might as well be the sword." ”

Feng Shuzhu smiled slightly, and said: "In the next world, it is very rare for the sword to fly, not to mention that it is daytime here, so you must not be too ostentatious, so as not to startle the grass and snakes, and attract unnecessary trouble." ”

Jing Chenzi was stunned again, and immediately said: "It makes sense, then it's hard work." After saying that, he didn't stop for a moment, turned around and walked towards the mountain road.

Feng Shuzhu stood in place, waiting for Jing Chenzi's figure to disappear on the mountain road, before turning around and slowly walking towards the back mountain.

The back mountain of Luotian Mountain is very different from the front mountain, the front mountain is probably close to the town, in addition to the abundant vegetation, there is still a stone path up the mountain, but the back mountain is the tree covering the sky and the sun, the grass and trees are extremely luxuriant, the people are inaccessible, the vine is entangled and the thorns are dense, and there is no path to find.

The wind and bamboo walk slowly through the forest, faintly hear the sound of gurgling water, look for the sound and walk over, see a small stream outside the forest slowly flowing down from the mountain, the stream water is crystal clear, the two banks are full of round pebbles, washed by the stream water smooth and clean, and then look at the river bank is wide, not suitable for a good place to go for the feet.

He made up his mind to abandon the jungle and walk up the riverbank. But I suddenly heard a noise from the upper reaches of the stream, "You crooked, you are really unreasonable, the old man has worked hard for you to calculate the hexagram, don't pay the silver or two, why do you want to pull the old man up the mountain?"

Feng Shuzhu was shocked, and listened to the voice a little familiar, so he looked for prestige, and saw an old man, wearing a gray robe, with three locks of long hair under his chin, holding a bamboo pole in his right hand, with a square flag hanging on it, writing the words "things are like gods", and two red-clothed monks beside him, one tall and one short, pulled the sleeves of the old man, and dragged them to the mountain.

"You are full of nonsense, and you still want to collect money from the Buddha, and I will arrest you to go up the mountain to repair the temple as a coolie. The tall monk scolded angrily and raised his hand to hit the old man.

"What nonsense is the old man, the hexagram shows that the two of you will indeed have a bloody disaster in the next few days, and the only way to leave this place quickly is to stay safe. The old man raised his arm to meet the tall monk's hand.

"Hey, I said you old horseman, don't you have a hard mouth, why don't you calculate for yourself, don't you kill yourself by running to this Luotian Mountain if you have nothing to do?" said the short monk with a strange roll of his eyes.

Feng Shuzhu immediately recognized that the old man was actually the phase master he met in Shimen Town, at the foot of Cangqing Mountain a few days ago, why he went to Luotian Mountain thousands of miles away this time, he was very puzzled, and the two monks in red clothes were the two mountain patrols who met in Qianshan last night.

"The old decay comes from the hexagram, and the hexagram shows that the old decay will be lucky when he comes here. The old man shook his head and said seriously.

With a crisp sound of "pop", the tall red-clothed monk actually took advantage of his unpreparedness and slapped the old man, and scolded angrily: "I said that you, an old horseman, don't know whether you live or die, and if you don't obediently go up the mountain with the Buddha, you won't stop making noise here." ”

The old man was slapped in the face, and suddenly half of his face was red and swollen, and he couldn't help but stop talking, but shouted loudly: "Help, the monk doesn't pay the money, and he beats people, help." ”

When the two red-clothed monks heard this, they were furious, and the tall red-clothed monk pulled out the scimitar on his waist and shook it gently, but when he saw Han Mangsensen, he knew that it was extremely sharp at a glance, and he deliberately raised it and shook it in front of the old man, and said viciously: "Old horseman, if you want to be interesting, just go with the Buddha obediently, so as not to be a ghost under the Buddha's knife." ”

Seeing that the scimitar was very sharp, the old man hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand and suppressed his voice, and his eyes kept rolling.

Seeing this, the two red-clothed monks laughed, and the anger on their faces disappeared immediately.

"Wouldn't it be right to do this earlier, I still draw the knife of Lord Lawr. The tall red-clothed monk said as he put his scimitar into its scabbard.

Seeing that the old man didn't dare to resist anymore, the short red-clothed monk stepped forward and pushed hard, shouting angrily: "Hurry up!"

The old man was pushed and staggered, but when he saw the scimitar, he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to walk forward with a bamboo pole in his hand.

Seeing this, the two red-clothed monks also looked relaxed, and they followed behind talking and laughing, so unhappy.

When Feng Shuzhu saw this, he had an idea, ran out of the forest quickly, deliberately fell, and shouted: "Oops." ”

The two red-clothed monks heard it clearly, so they stopped at the same time and turned their heads, and saw that someone had fallen into the grass at the edge of the forest, the two looked at each other, and the tall red-clothed monk pointed to the physiognomy and whispered to the short red-clothed monk: "You look at him, I'll go over and take a look, I can't help but catch one back to the mountain." ”

The short red-clothed monk nodded, stepped forward and pulled the Xiangshi's shirt with one hand, for fear of running away, and held the handle of the scimitar knife at his waist with the other hand, making a guard gesture, and the Xiangshi also turned his head when he heard the sound, squinting his eyes and looking at the edge of the forest, with a look of surprise on his face.

After the tall red-clothed monk finished speaking, he pulled out his scimitar, cautiously walked towards the wind and bamboo, and walked tentatively, carefully observing the situation in the grass in front of him while walking, and when he walked about two zhang away, he stopped again, pointed at the knife, and said sharply: "What person, come out quickly, otherwise I will let go of the Buddha and cut it in the air." ”

When Feng Shuzhu heard the sound, he pretended to be frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "Oops...... , Buddha Rao...... Spare your life, it's a small life here. As he spoke, he got up from the grass, covered with dead branches and leaves, holding his leg with one hand and his waist with the other, pretending to have fallen hard.

The tall red-clothed monk raised his eyes and saw that it was a weak scholar, so he pursed his lips, put away his scimitar, beckoned to Feng Shuzhu, and shouted impatiently: "Come here, come here, who are you? How did you come to this remote mountain? It can't be a spy." ”

Feng Shuzhu showed pain on his face, limped forward, and said respectfully: "Buddha, you misunderstood, where is Xiaosheng a spy, Xiaosheng is looking for relatives, he was robbed of a package halfway, penniless, unable to hire a car, in order to find a shortcut, he strayed into this mountain and got lost." ”

When the tall red-clothed monk heard this, he looked Feng Shuzhu up and down, rolled his strange eyes, and continued to interrogate: "Then what is your name, where are you from, and where are you going to find relatives?"

Feng Shuzhu arched his hand again and said: "Meng Buddha, you ask, Xiaosheng doesn't dare not answer truthfully, Xiaosheng's surname is Feng, he is the third, he lives in Shimen Town, and he went to Tingxiang Town to go to his uncle to do business." ”

After hearing this, the tall red-clothed monk rolled his eyes, and immediately said: "Shimen Town, that's far enough, come, tell me how many streets there are in Shimen Town?"

"Buddha, don't you have a lot of heart, Xiaosheng grew up in Shimen Town since he was a child, there are two streets before and after, the front street is called Jiangti Street, and the back street is called Hualou Street. Feng Shuzhu half-bent over and replied.

"Hualou Street, look at your body, go less. The tall red-clothed monk laughed loudly, as if he no longer doubted anything.

Feng Shuzhu saw the situation, looked cowardly, and gave his hand to accompany him with a smile.

The tall red-clothed monk also laughed when he saw Feng Shuzhu, but his face immediately sank, and he said angrily: "Let's go, follow the Buddha and I will go up the mountain." ”

"Go up the mountain? Xiaosheng is talkative, I don't know why the Buddha wants Xiaosheng to go up the mountain?" Feng Shuzhu pretended not to know, and asked with a pitiful look in his eyes.

The corners of the tall red-clothed monk's mouth moved, his eyebrows stood up, and he wanted to be angry, but suddenly his eyes rolled again, as if he was calculating, and said with a smile: "Didn't you lose the silver taels, and you can't hire a carriage and horse, a temple is being built on this mountain, and you can't write a blessing without a show, I don't know if you can do it?"

Feng Shuzhu replied quietly: "Do it, do it, but dare to ask the Buddha, I don't know that this mountain is available for food, Xiaosheng has been hungry for more than a day." ”

When the tall red-clothed monk heard this, he laughed and said, "Yes, you obediently follow the Buddha up the mountain, and you can eat enough." ”

Feng Shuzhu glanced at the other party, nodded and smiled: "So very good, so very good." ”

The tall red-clothed monk waved his hand, walked back with the wind and bamboo, and returned to the short red-clothed monk and the phase master again.

The phase master stretched his neck, squinted his eyes, frowned and looked at Feng Shuzhu carefully, and suddenly pointed at Feng Shuzhu and said, "You are ...... You are...... , how can you be so familiar when you see you? ”

When Feng Shuzhu heard this, he had an idea, and hurriedly interrupted the physiognomy master, and said first: "You old liar who practices medicine, I didn't expect to meet here, you deceived me last time with ten taels of silver, and you won't come back soon." As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed the placket of the master's clothes, and raised his hand to beat.

The phase master was familiar with Feng Shuzhu, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it, and when he suddenly heard that he was begging for silver taels, he immediately struggled to break free, and waved his hand again and again: "The old man has deceived you of the silver, but not to say that he has never seen you, not to mention that the old man is a phase master, not a practitioner." As he spoke, he pointed to the bamboo pole in his hand, holding a square flag on it, "Knowing things like gods."

Feng Shuzhu looked up at the flag, stunned, Fang did a sudden realization, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Uncle please atone for your sins, Xiaosheng is abrupt, Xiaosheng is abrupt, because of the loss of silver taels, he is in a hurry to admit the wrong person." ”

Xiangshi flicked the wrinkled placket of his clothes, and pouted: "You are really rude." ”

The two red-clothed monks next to him were in a gloating mentality, and wanted to stand aside to watch the excitement, but when they saw that it was a misunderstanding and there was no drama to watch, their faces sank, and they continued to urge the two to go up the mountain.

A group of four people walked along the stream to Luotian Mountain, along the way the two red-clothed monks pushed and shoved, scolding endlessly, unconsciously walked to the red light near the front, was about to enter, suddenly heard a break in the air:

"Demon monk, take a break and look at the sword. ”

Everyone heard the sound of breaking through the air, turned around in panic, looked into the air, and saw a black sword light coming straight towards the tall red-robed monk.

The tall red-clothed monk showed a frightened look on his face, but he didn't have time to take a closer look, so he quickly flashed to the side, dodging a sword stabbed in the air, who knew that the figure had not yet stood firm, when the two of them made a mistake, the person who came shook his wrist, picked up the long sword, split a little, and with a "bang" sound, the right placket of the tall red-clothed monk's robe was broken, and the shoulder was already hung with color, and the body was also circled to the other side by the opponent's long sword, separated from Feng Shuzhu and others.

The tall red-clothed monk saw that the swordsmanship was so exquisite, he was horrified, and hurriedly pulled out his scimitar to resist, and the short red-clothed monk saw that his accomplices were at a loss, and he also pushed Feng Shuzhu and Xiangshi into the red light with one hand, and pulled out his scimitar to join the battle group.

Feng Shuzhu looked at it, and the person who came was wearing a green sermon robe, a Taoist scarf on his head, and a black sword, which was the Taoist of Jingchenzi.

Although the addition of the short red-clothed monk has reduced the pressure on the tall red-clothed monk, Jingchenzi uses the Tiantai Mountain Guiyun swordsmanship, which is created by the ancestor of Guiyunguan Guiyun Zhenren, and the Shuiyue Palace Shuiyue swordsmanship is called the two major swordsmanship of the righteous path.

After watching it for a long time, Feng Shuzhu could already see that although Jing Chenzi was the eldest disciple of the current head of Guiyunguan, Xuan Qingzhen, he had not yet practiced his swordsmanship to the realm of pure fire.

The three of you have fought back and forth for dozens of rounds, and although the two red-clothed monks are at a disadvantage, they are even more shocked when they are forced into danger, but although they are in danger, they are thrilling in the end.

The three of them fought for a while, and after a long time, Jing Chenzi's swordsmanship gradually unleashed, and he was even more comfortable with the two of them, so he showed a look of success, like a cat and mouse, and used more peculiar tricks to tease the two.

The two red-clothed monks saw that the swordsmanship was broad and profound, and the tricks were endless, so they were worried that their lives would be guaranteed if they were not careful, and the two exchanged glances, and immediately understood the meaning of a quick battle, so they each made a false move, withdrew from the circle, stood side by side, and read the magic in their mouths at the same time.

Jing Chenzi snorted and sneered, twisted the sword trick in his hand, and with a "swish", the black sword in his hand was divided into two sword lights, one black and one white, circling each other, like two swimming dragons entwined with each other, rushing away, and counteracting the whirling air slash of the two red-clothed monks.

The two red-clothed monks originally thought that the person who came was an ordinary Taoist and not a sword immortal, but when they saw the two sword lights released by the other party, they immediately understood that the person who came was a sword immortal under the Guiyunguan Gate, and they were secretly surprised in their hearts.

Feng Shuzhu can see it clearly, although Jingchenzi Dao has not reached the peak, but after all, it is the eldest disciple of Tiantai Mountain Guiyunguan Xuanqing Zhenren seat, it is still more than enough to deal with these two mountain patrol demons, if these two people die under the sword light of Jingchenzi at this time, his plan to explore the inner mountain will be completely frustrated, and when he raised his eyes again, he saw the two red-clothed monks sweating like pulp, their clothes were wet, and their faces showed despair.

Feng Shuzhu had an idea, and shouted loudly: "This Taoist leader, do you also want to follow the Buddha into the mountains to beg for a living?"

Jing Chenzi heard the voice of Feng Shuzhu, and was stunned at first, and began to feel surprised, with the Tao of Feng Shuzhu, how could he be caught by these two monks who were not successful, he was looking for clues in the front mountain, and he had no results for half a day, so he came to the back mountain to look for Feng Shuzhu, and saw the two red-clothed monks from a distance pressing the two people to the red light, thinking that the mountain people were caught, and the heart was rescued, so they had time to identify it, and hurriedly came out of the sword to save them. Thinking of this, I thought about it again, and suddenly woke up, not into the tiger's den to get the tiger, Feng Shuzhu This is to go into the mountains to find out, I am kind and dangerous to do something wrong, since I have seen through this layer of true meaning, I pretended to be invincible to the two, and then gradually weakened the sword light.

The two red-clothed monks saw that the opponent's sword light was gradually suppressed by themselves, and the pressure on their whole bodies suddenly relaxed, and their faces were happy.

After a moment, he only heard Jing Chenzi's "oops", withdrew the sword light, did not stay for a moment, and fled with light.

The two red-clothed monks saw that each other was defeated, and at the same time they were relieved, where did they dare to chase after them, and when they saw that there was no one else around, they quickly collected the spin air slash, fled to the red light, and sat on the grass to gasp.

After a long time, the breath of the two gradually stabilized, and the short red-clothed monk helped the tall red-clothed monk bandage his wounds before continuing to press the wind Shuzhu and the two of them to continue to go up the mountain.
