Bidding farewell to Daochang Zhao, Yi Fan followed the maid back to his residence, and after washing, it was already the dead of night, and the moonlight shone in through the window and fell on Yi Fan's shoulders.

"You have to improve your strength quickly, otherwise the next situation will be really powerless. ”

Yi Fan thought of Xiahou's fierceness, and in the face of six or seven demons, he still calmly slashed, and his strength could deal with one of them at most.

Although the demon cave had been destroyed and Simeng was dead, he still felt uneasy, and always felt that things were not so simple.

Anyway, let's go back to the Taoist temple tomorrow and avoid the storm for the time being.

Early the next morning, Yi Fan packed up his things, sent the maid to load the mud jar, and then said goodbye to Zhou Lixing.

"It's been a long time. ”

Zhou Lixing obviously hadn't slept all night, his expression was tired, he barely cheered up, and said, "I have already instructed Wang Zhutou to take fifty officials to escort him all the way, so as not to make mistakes." ”

Yi Fan thanked him and did not shirk it, the two talked about it, and saw Wang Zhutou coming.

"My lord, Yi Daochang, the mud altar has been loaded, and it is at the back door, ready to leave at any time. ”

When I arrived at the back door, I saw four or five ox carts, and large mud altars were placed on them, separated by straw in the middle to avoid collisions, and then covered with black cloths, like large coffins.

said goodbye to each other, Zhou Lixing didn't send much, and returned to the street, while Yi Fan and his party of dozens drove the ox cart out of the city as soon as possible.

This trip is dozens of miles, there is no human figure along the way, it is very desolate, and there is no scene of endless flow of people and cars and horses in the past.

Near noon, Yi Fan asked people to stop and rest, ate some dry food with cold water, and was about to continue his journey when he saw a fast horse coming.

When the visitor saw that the person stopped, he did not dismount: "Yi Daochang, Wang Zhutou, the adult asked the small one to inform that the princess's Dharma frame is about to pass by, go to Lanruo Temple to worship the Buddha, let you stop on the side of the road, don't block the road, so as not to disturb the princess." ”

The princess is going to Lanruo Temple to worship the Buddha? Isn't Lanruo Temple closed, why are you going?

Although he was puzzled, Yi Fan didn't dare not listen, and discussed with Wang Zhutou, asked people to drive the ox cart to the grass on the side of the road, and pulled the ox with a rope, and plugged the cow's ears with a thin sheet, so as not to be frightened and go crazy.

After a while, I saw billowing smoke and dust from a distance, first dozens of black-armored iron horsemen explored the road first, their expressions were cold, and the horses' hooves were as neat as drums.

Sure enough, the people and horses behind appeared, and it was Xiahou who rode a horse in front, followed by a carriage drawn by eight horses, surrounded by black-armored iron cavalry guards, and then followed by the carriage of Zhou Lixing, the magistrate, followed by one hundred and ten officers and soldiers.

The group walked in front of Yi Fan and them, and after a while, they breathed a sigh of relief, and they were not in a hurry to hurry, so they drove the ox cart to the road and continued to rest.

After half an hour, Yi Fan felt that it was almost over, and asked everyone to get up and hurry.

......

However, it was said that the princess had arrived in front of Lanruo Temple Mountain, and saw that the road up the mountain was blocked by a stone bar, and there was a wooden sign next to it that said 'Seal the Mountain'.

Lanruo Temple covers an area of very large, established for hundreds of years, constantly develops the mountain stone, builds a new Buddhist hall, includes the novice, is famous, is an important place for Buddhism.

Along the way, there are stone Buddha statues standing on the side of the road, among the tall trees, the sun shines on them, it looks solemn and mysterious, and such a place of Buddhism, in the past pilgrims were like clouds, but now it is desolate, no one cares for it, until the procession comes to the temple gate, and there are no monks to greet it.

The temple door was closed and silent.

"Someone, knock the temple door open for me. ”

As soon as Xiahou gave the order, dozens of forbidden troops dismounted and were about to hit the door, which frightened Zhou Lixing into a cold sweat, and hurriedly got out of the carriage: "General, by all means, this is an important place for Buddhism, and there are virtuous and respected monks, and they cannot be desecrated." ”

"The Buddha gate is heavy, and my sword is heavy, hit me. ”

Xiahou kicked Zhou Lixing away, rode a few steps forward, and pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, so that Zhou Lixing didn't dare to say any more, so he could only retreat with a wry smile.

At this moment, the temple door suddenly opened, and hundreds of monks with sticks walked out.

"Lanruo Temple Mountain Gate, who dares to be presumptuous?"

An old monk walked out, and he was not surprised to see the black-armored iron horseman, his face was calm, and he looked at everyone.

"Master Huijue?"

Zhou Lixing was taken aback, this senior monk is usually rare to see, and his status in Lanruo Temple is very high, second only to the abbot and several heads.

"Old monk, you dare to rebel?"

Xiahou's face sank, but he didn't get angry, the old monk in front of him gave him a sense of danger, obviously his strength was profound, and he couldn't be underestimated.

"Rebellion?" said the donor. ”

"Since you don't dare to rebel, then when you see the princess, don't greet you, dare not kneel?"

After Xiahou finished speaking, the old monk's complexion changed, he was slightly surprised, looked at the princess's frame, and saluted: "I don't know if the princess has arrived, Lanruo Temple has lost its welcome." ”

"Master Huijue doesn't have to be polite, I have heard of the name of Lanruo Temple, this time I will go to Guobei County, naturally I want to go up the mountain to worship the Buddha. A soft voice came from the frame, but no one was in sight.

The old monk hesitated and said, "Lanruo Temple will not see guests for the time being, and I ask the princess to forgive me." ”

"Bold, dare to be disrespectful to the princess?"

Xiahou was furious, held down the hilt of his sword, and the forbidden troops around him pulled out their weapons together, and suddenly the holy land of Buddhism was murderous, as if falling into hell.

"Coming is also fate, going is also fate, life and death are also fate, no matter what, it is a poor monk who has a lot of things. ”

The old monk closed his eyes and sighed: "Princess, please come in, donors." ”

......

Yi Fan didn't know what happened in Lanruo Temple in front of the mountain, so he asked people to put the mud altar into the secret room, and then took out a few taels of silver, and asked Wang Zhutou to use it to buy wine and reward many officials.

Wang Zhutou excused himself a few times, so he didn't force it, and said with a smile: "It's not too early, then I won't disturb Yi Daochang." ”

After sending Zhou Zhutou, Yi Fan entered the secret room, checked the 'degree' spell on the four or five clay altars, and then lit a row of incense: "All the way here, you have a good life to rest." ”

After thinking about it, Yi Fan took out a few more 'Little Evil Talismans' and pressed them with an inkstone, so he left with confidence.

In this busy work, it was already dark, I touched my stomach, sorted out my luggage, and went to the kitchen to make a fire to cook.

The mountains are cold, especially in winter, it is even more cold to the bones, Yi Fan sat in front of the Taoist temple with a rice bowl, looking at the direction of Lanruo Temple, where the lights were bright and the figures were building.

Lanruo Temple suddenly closed the mountain, disappeared for a while, no one was seen, and now the mountain gate is suddenly opened, which is really incomprehensible.

But when he thought of Xiahou, he could understand that this kind of martial artist couldn't be reasonable, except for the sword in his hand, no one listened to it, and no one believed it.

And those monks in Lanruo Temple, no matter how bold they are, they don't dare to refuse a princess's legal frame, really when those hundreds of forbidden soldiers don't dare to kill?
