Chapter 7: The Destruction of the Temple (1)

However, it was said that the master and apprentice walked into Bishan Town one after the other, and after entering the city gate, Shi Yi could clearly feel that Bishan Town was much more prosperous than Yunshan Town, Yunshan Town was just a few streets, and the Bishan Town in front of him could be described as a sea of people.

...... Shi Yi looked up at the sun and counted the hour, "Why are you so hungry lately, it's just noon, and I'm hungry anymore" Shi Yi thought to himself.

"Master, should we continue our journey or stop to rest?" Shi Yi asked.

"Since you're here, it's better to rest for a while and find a place to eat", Wu Ming obviously understood what Shi Yi was thinking, so he said casually.

Shi Yi's careful thinking was seen through by the master, and he also smiled.

......

"Master, this dish is really delicious, don't you want to taste it?" Shi Yichao stuffed something in his mouth, and he didn't forget the master sitting next to him.

Wu Ming still didn't move his chopsticks, and said indifferently, "I'm not hungry for a teacher, you can eat more", and after speaking, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

"The martial arts practiced by the master are really magical, not only will he not be tired, but he will not feel hungry!" Shi Yi thought to himself, but he was still eating in large gulps.

......

Just when Shi Yi was almost eating, the content of the conversation between the people sitting at the table next to him made Shi Yi interested.

"Brother Wang, why haven't you come to Qingyi Building recently, did your mother-in-law find out?" The first person to speak was a middle-aged man with a mole on the corner of his mouth, joking at a man next to him.

"Brother Xian, don't make fun of being a brother, it's not that my brother doesn't want to go, it's that I really don't dare to go again." The man known as Brother Wang sighed and said.

"Oh, Brother Wang has heard something, that's why I'm right," Yu Er asked puzzled.

The middle-aged man known as Brother Wang looked carefully left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he whispered to Yu Er, "Brother Xian, don't blame Brother Wei for not reminding you, the Qingyi Building has not been peaceful recently, do you remember the missing person notice posted by the government last month, which is the housekeeper of the missing Zhang Mansion." Before the words were finished, Yu Er nodded and replied, "The foolish brother has also heard about this, but didn't he say that the murderer was caught in the end?"

"Murderer?" the so-called Brother Wang sneered, and then said, "Brother Xian, I told you, don't talk about it, the government didn't catch the murderer at all, it was just prevaricating the people,"

"Fake, how did my brother know, and what does it have to do with Qingyilou?"

"Brother Xian, I have some friends in the official mansion, and it is inconvenient to disclose the details, not only the missing housekeeper of the Zhang Mansion has something to do with the Qingyi Building, but just two days ago, the Li Zhisan who lived next to the two of us, he also disappeared inexplicably, and it is said that after entering the Qingyi Building, he disappeared within a few days."

"Ah, why didn't the government post a notice about this?" Yu Er asked in shock.

"Shhh, be quiet, I posted a notice early this morning, I heard people say that there are clean things in the Qingyi Building, so it's better for my brother to advise you to go less recently. ”

"Yes, yes, if it weren't for my brother's words, the foolish brother would still be in the dark, thank you, brother, I can invite you to this meal, you can't refuse", Yu Er said respectfully.

......

Shi Yi didn't listen carefully to the rest of the words. It's also strange to say, since I have cultivated the internal skills taught by the master, not only is my body much lighter, but even my senses are clearer than before, what the two men said just now, others can't hear it, but Shi Yi can hear it clearly, I have to say that the internal skills taught by the master are really powerful.

"Master, what those two people said ......" Shi Yi didn't finish his words, and looked at Wu Ming and said.

"Well, the teacher also heard it, what, do you want to go and see?" Wu Ming asked with a smile.

"Don't hide it from the master, the disciple wants to go and see, doesn't the master want to know what's going on?" Shi Yi continued.

"Shiyi, since you want to go and see. Then let's take a look, but you may not get any answers, you can figure it out. Wu Ming said inscrutablely.

"The disciple understands. If the matter is related to the disciple, the disciple will definitely be able to know the answer, and if the matter is not related to the disciple, the disciple will not force it. Shi Yi replied firmly.

Wu Ming nodded with satisfaction, and after the master and apprentice settled the account, they walked towards the notice wall where the government posted notices.

......

Generally speaking, there will not be too many people in the place where the notice is posted, but it looks like there are still a lot of people today, and it is strange to say that last month, the housekeeper of Zhang's mansion disappeared inexplicably, although the murderer was finally caught, but I heard that the body was killed before the body was found. Early this morning, someone disappeared again, which made the people around him interested.

The master and apprentice looked at the notice posted by the government, Li Zhisan, a man, aged 38, disappeared three days ago, and the last person he saw was on the road outside the city two miles away from the broken temple. If the murderer can be caught, he will receive a reward of 500 taels of silver.

The master and apprentice were looking at the notice when they heard someone shouting, "Go away, go away, don't stand in our way." Out of the crowd came a strong man, with a rough face, a very fierce look, and a treasure knife on his back. The man who was squeezed wanted to say a few words, but when he saw that it was such a fierce and vicious person, he choked back.

But he said that the strong man in black came to the notice and tore it off, and someone said at that time, "You have uncovered the notice, do you know how much of a crime it is?"

"Sin, hahaha, you cowardly guys, watching others unveil the notice and feel unbalanced, this notice has been put for most of the day, but no one has taken it down, today we Cangzhou Five Heroes parade here, see that there is such a strange thing, of course, you have to learn and understand. ”

"You're right, big brother," the strong man in black asked, turning to the back of the crowd.

Everyone turned their heads, and they did see four majestic men standing behind the crowd, all of them carrying swords and dressed in black. The man standing in the middle did not speak, but a man next to him said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Fourth brother, don't talk so much nonsense to them, we have to hurry out of the city, let's go!"

......

The crowd heard some contemptuous words from the man, but none of them came forward to argue with him. God is pitiful, don't you see people claiming to be the Five Heroes of Cangzhou, at this time, go up to argue with them, it's not asking for hardship.

When the people saw that the notice had been taken away, they lost interest and dispersed in twos and threes.

After everyone left, Shi Yi and Wu Ming's master and apprentice were still standing there, "Master, let's go too." Shi Yi said calmly.

"Oh, don't you want to know the answer, why don't you want to figure it out?" Wu Ming asked with a smile.

"Master, don't make fun of me, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with me, let's hurry up. Shi Yi said embarrassedly.

...... But he said that the master and apprentice bought some dry food on the way and walked out of the city gate of Bishan Town, and walked all the way to the west of the city gate.

As the evening approached, the weather did get cloudy, and it seemed that there might be rain in the evening, so it was impossible for the master and apprentice to go back, so they had to speed up their pace, hoping to find a place to stay before dark.

Fortunately, the luck of the master and apprentice was not bad, when it was dark, the master and apprentice found Yihe Broken Temple, which was overgrown with weeds in front of the broken temple, and there were broken walls and ruins everywhere.

After the master and apprentice entered the temple, it didn't take long for a light rain to fall, and it was indeed the end of spring, and there was a lot of light rain in the whole Cangzhou, and no one could predict when it would rain in this kind of weather.

......

The master and apprentice had just settled down and were about to eat some dry food, when suddenly five people rushed out and surrounded the master and apprentice in the middle, with swords flashing.

When I looked at it one by one, these five people were the five heroes of Cangzhou who unveiled the notice in the city during the day, and they met here again, which is really not an ordinary coincidence. But it was not a matter of being surrounded by five people with knives, and his eyes looked at the master, who seemed to be unmoved, still with his eyes closed. Shi Yi smiled bitterly, it seemed that he had to go on his own.

"Heroes. I don't know how my master and apprentice have offended you?" Shi Yi arched his hand and asked.

"Who are you two and why are you here, according to the truth, if there is deception, don't blame me for being ruthless. "It's still the fourth one who drank it during the day.

"Heroes. The boy's name is Shi Yi, and he traveled with his master to pass by here, and saw that it was getting late, and it was raining, and we master and apprentice did not have any rain gear, so we planned to rest here for the night tonight. Shi Yi said unhurriedly.

"What proof of what you two say?" asked the fourth man in black.

"Don't talk nonsense to them, in the wilderness, these two people suddenly came here, it is estimated that these two people are the murderers that the government wants to arrest. Fourth brother, arrest them and hand them over to the government, and we can get the reward." A more rugged-looking person next to the fourth child said.

"But third brother, hasn't you asked clearly?" The fourth brother obviously didn't want to arrest people for no reason.

"Why do you need to ask clearly, just arrest them and hand them over to the government, I don't think they look like good people, they must be murderers. The third said that he was about to step forward.

Shi Yi glanced at the third child coldly, how could he not understand the thoughts of this third child, anyway, there was no proof of death, so he arrested them and threw them into prison, and the government wanted to settle the case hastily, then their master and apprentice would be wronged to death.

Thinking of this, Shi Yi arched his hand and never spoke. Now the middle-aged man behind the fourth child said, "You are heroes, how can you wronged good people, my master and apprentice are indeed coincidental here, and I hope that heroes can distinguish between right and wrong", to be honest, Shi Yi also sneered at these people who claimed to be the five heroes of Cangzhou, judging from what they did, they were just sanctimonious people, but since the master did not speak, Shi Yi still had to continue to deal with them.
