"No, no, no!" the eye-popping man waved his hand impatiently, "You are the sixth person looking for work today, do you still want to ask, is there a girl named Ling'er? Don't bother anymore, see for yourself!" said and opened the courtyard door.

I saw that there were thirty or forty big men in the courtyard, all of whom were carrying big knives at their waists. Duan Wang glanced at it, his expression was calm, and said: "This big brother, we are indeed looking for a little girl named Ling'er or Hua'er, if we can see it, we will definitely thank you!"

"Ouch one by one", the protruding man screamed, "When others see it, they turn around and leave, but you are so bold, you ...... You ......" but raised his eyes to look behind Duan You in surprise, speechless in surprise.

I saw that not far behind Duan You, there were Huazi gathered, all holding wooden sticks, their eyes showing anger, and there were two or three hundred people gathered at one time.

Duan You turned around and said, "The brothers are scattered, don't make trouble." After speaking, he turned around, but the big man with sudden eyes closed the courtyard door one by one.

After a while, another crack opened in the courtyard door, and a money bag flew out of the crack, and a person said: "Good man, please go elsewhere, there is no woman in my courtyard, I won't wait." And he closed the door.

Duan You had a plan in his heart, so he left here.

At night, Duan You and the little beggar found a dilapidated courtyard, and as soon as they cleaned up, forty or fifty beggars poured into the courtyard, all saluting Duan You. Duan Youxin said: The brothers' ability to follow is not bad. So he chatted with the beggars.

After the hour, Duan Youyou quietly went out. He wanted to explore the courtyard of the fierce-eyed man at night. Thirty or forty big men gathered in one place silently, which was unusual to think. If it was a gang, he wanted to take it for his own use so that he could inquire about Ling'er's whereabouts.

When he reached the brick carved gate, Duan You looked around and saw that the courtyard door next to him was empty, so he flashed in. I remember that there was only one old couple in this hospital, and I thought I forgot to close the door.

After entering the hospital, Duan You stung to the foot of the wall, took out a coil of hooked rope from his waist, threw it off, and quietly went up to the courtyard wall.

The courtyard in front of me is pitch black, there is a row of big houses in front of the courtyard, there are no houses on both sides, the courtyard is large and empty, and the sound of snoring comes from the front house. Duan Youzheng was thinking about which room his leader lived in, and suddenly felt something strange behind him, that is, he rose up in the air, and heard a soft sound of "poof" on the wall just now.

Duan You saw a tall black shadow standing at the door of the old couple in the air, he landed silently, rushed over, and saw the tall black shadow flash into the house, and said in a deep voice: "Duan Gang Master is silent, I am Jin Yi." ”

Duan was surprised and delighted, even when he entered the house.

The room was dark and gloomy, so I heard Jin Yi say: "Gang Master Duan came to sit on the kang." ”

Duan Youcai gradually saw that there was only a large earthen kang in the house, and there were two people sitting on the kang: Jin Yi and the old woman. Then he asked, "Why is the Lord of the Jin Sect here?"

Jin Yi said with a smile: "I have been here with Jiang Huai for three days, but today I am waiting for you, Jiang Huai, I have met the Duan Gang Master." ”

I saw the "old woman" on the kang hugging his fist to Duan Youyou: "I have heard the name of the Duan gang leader for a long time, and I can see it today, Jianghuai is fortunate to be there." But it was a man's voice.

It turned out that Duan saw the old couple during the day, it was Jin Yi and Jiang Huai who were dressed up, at that time, Jin Yi covered his face with his messy hair, and bent his waist, and did not have a face-to-face with Duan, because he didn't recognize it at all.

Jin Yi recognized him at a glance during the day, and then Duan You was splashed with water by a fierce man, and he was clear about it, and it was expected that Duan You would come here to investigate at night, so he had already stayed in the door to wait.

When Duan You heard Jin Yi say this, he knew that he was in the middle and said suspiciously: "The door master is here for the person next door?"

"Not really. Jin Yi said, "Jiang Huai and I came here, it was another matter, but the day before yesterday we just arrived here, those people went next door at night, and killed the owner of the house, I visited for two nights, only to know that they are Maitreya teaching." ”

"Maitreya's?" Duan You said in surprise, "The ghosts of this state are still lingering, what are they doing here?"

Jin Yi said: "I don't know what to do, but it's a big deal, they seem to be waiting for someone, as soon as this person arrives, he will do it, it is estimated that it is their leader, I am afraid that you will startle the snake, so I will wait for you." ”

"Oh-", Duan You said, "The door master wants to find out? Can you get me and my brothers?" ”

"No, no, no. Jin Yi hurriedly said, "Me and Jianghuai are enough, you are busy with yours." ”

Duan Youyou, no matter what, it's important to find Ling'er, and don't make any extraneous branches first. I wanted to tell Jin Yi about the succession of the ring, but I was about to open my mouth, but I saw a person leaning into the house and whispered: "Helper, there is news." "But they are little beggars who accompany each other during the day.

Duan Youyi jumped up, hurriedly said goodbye to Jin Yi and Jiang Huai, and went out of the house with the little beggar.

Outside the courtyard, Tian Bu was full and waited with another beggar, and several people hurriedly returned to the foothold, and saw that there were already hundreds of helpers, Yao Ren, Zhu Yuan, Shi Kai, Yao Wudi, and Yao Wandi were all there. As soon as he saw Duan You, Zhu Yuan asked a beggar beside him and said, "You report to the helper." ”

The beggar hurriedly said: "Helper, I am the helmsman of Ankang Helm, my name is Cui Dahe, a few days ago, I received an order from the helper, and I will lead the helm ......"

"Tell me about today. Shi Kai interrupted Cui Dahe.

Cui Dahe hurriedly changed his words: "Today afternoon, when I and my brothers went to the Caotang Temple of Zhongnan Mountain, we met an apprentice of the helper, and she asked me to pass a message to the helper, saying that she couldn't get out, so please go to the Caotang Temple quickly, and the person is called Gongsun'e." ”

Duan You blurted out: "What, Zhongnan Mountain, Caotang Temple?"

"Yes, it's in Caodang Temple. Cui Dahe replied.

Yao Ren also said: "I and the invincible, the result of the enemy's investigation, is the same, people have not found, the name of the place has the word 'south, grass', it is indeed the grass hall temple at the foot of the south mountain, there is the place where the national teacher Kumarosh preached the scriptures, there are hundreds of monks listening to the scriptures, I think it is Lu Hua who pronounced the "hall" as "dang". According to what the Cui Dahe brothers said, Ling'er should be in Caotang Temple and be with Gongsun E. ”

The good news came so suddenly, Duan You calmed down, repeatedly asked Cui Dahe about the appearance of Gongsun E and other details, and then recalled Lu Hua's dying words several times, and said: "Brothers, please work harder and rush to Caotang Temple immediately!" After speaking, it was convenient for Yao Ren, Cui Dahe, Zhu Yuan, and Shi Kai rushed out of the door first.

Out of the county seat, Cui Dahe led a group of people to the southeast direction, and after ten roads, Cui Dahe was out of breath, and Duan You and Yao Ren ran around him. ran for three or four miles, and there were only Zhu Yuan and Shi Kai around.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared four or five miles ahead, as if there was a fire, and after a while, the bright light was clearly fire, reflecting half of the sky. Duan Youzheng was nervous in his heart, and he heard Cui Dahe lose his voice: "It's like a fire in the Caotang Temple, where the houses are all thatched. ”

Duan You said: "You come slowly!" that is, he rushed out.

After running for a while, it was already a mile away from the Caotang Temple, but I saw a fire in the col ahead, and there were figures moving. Duan You didn't care if there was a road or not, he jumped straight away, and Yao Ren, Zhu Yuan, and Shi Kai were left behind.

Approaching, Fang saw that the fire was terrifying, a large bamboo forest had become a sea of fire, there were hundreds of monks divided into several streams of people, wailing and running around, some had become fire people, and some people waved big knives and slashed wantonly. Duan You shouted "Ling'er-Gongsun'e-", dancing the dog-beating stick, poking down a murderer who rushed to his side, while directing the monks to run to a safe place, while shouting the names of Duan Ling and Gongsun'e, rushing all the way to kill, and several murderers have been knocked down by him.

Suddenly, someone shouted "Master", Duan Youshun went to the prestige, only to see three big men fighting fiercely around Gongsun E, he roared, the bamboo stick in his hand had flown out and poked a person, and then slapped it out, hitting a person's head, when the person fell to the ground, Duan You immediately recognized that it was a fierce man with sudden eyes during the day. He then knocked another person away, and was about to ask Gongsun E, but saw her fall to the ground, hugging one person, and crying in her voice: "Master, Ling'er has fainted!"

Duan You pounced and hugged Ling'er, but saw that she was a thin girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, unkempt and dirty, with only a cinnabar mole on her eyebrows, vaguely Ling'er. His hand trembled slightly, and he pinched her acupoint in the middle of the person, and then saw her moaning, opened her eyes, and Duan You was sure: It was Ling'er!

Duan You's heart was agitated, tears flowed out of the ground, his throat choked, and he was about to speak, but Ling'er showed fear in her eyes, screamed, and fainted again.

At this time, Yao Ren, Zhu Yuan, and Shi Kai had already been killed, and the murderers saw that the three were fierce and retreated in a panic. After a while, the Maitreya disciples dispersed like birds and beasts, and hundreds of monks gathered in one place, panicked.

Duan You hugged Ling'er, without distractions, and only returned to the way he came, and Gongsun E, Yao Ren and others followed closely. Gongsun E said as she walked, Master, don't worry, Ling'er was just frightened, plus she hadn't slept all night before, and she was just asleep, so it was not a big deal.

Duan You walked faster and faster, and then ran up. Yao Ren, Zhu Yuan, and Shi Kai have been running for a long time, and they have fought in Caotang Temple, and they are already tired, how can they keep up with Duan You's pace, and Gongsun E, and Duan You is thrown away. Several people ran hard, and their hearts were all shocked and convinced, only to know that Duan You's internal strength had already far exceeded their imagination.

After running back for four or five miles, Fang met and rushed to help, and everyone saw that the helper had turned back with one person in his arms, and knew that they had found Duan Ling, so they happily followed Duan You, and after a while, he was thrown off a lot.

Returning to the courtyard in Huxian County, Duan You hugged a lot of wheat grass, spread his coat on it, carefully put down Duan Ling, took a scoop of water, tore a clean cloth from the placket, dipped it in the wet, wiped Duan Ling's face at once, and tears dripped down his eyes.

After a while, everyone rushed back one after another. Duan Ling's face had been wiped clean, and she was still asleep, Duan You sat aside, staring at Duan Ling's pitiful little face.

Zhu Yuan beckoned the brothers to sleep in another room, leaving only him and Yao Ren, Shi Kai, Gongsun E, Yao Wuving, Yao Wandi, and Cui Dahe.

After half an hour, Duan Youfang looked away from Duan Ling's face and asked Gongsun E about the situation.
