Wang Yangming looked at Ma Erdan, showed a cold smile, and said: "No wonder I couldn't find Your Excellency in the village just now, it turned out that you were doing murder and overselling goods here, tell me honestly, why did you want to stop and kill the two of us?"

Xiao Bei looked at the bright red clothes of several people, suddenly felt familiar, and secretly thought about it, feeling that this costume was somewhat similar to the Blood Dragon Gate, so he whispered in Wang Yangming's ear: "Brother Wang, I look at the clothes of these people, it seems that they are from the Blood Dragon Gate.

"What kind of sect is the Blood Dragon Sect?" Wang Yangming frowned. This Blood Dragon Sect usually acts mysteriously on the rivers and lakes, except for the imperial court and the rebel army, the rest of the sects rarely intersect with it. Wang Yangming only cares about the affairs of Jianxiao Palace, and knows very little about the rest of the rivers and lakes.

Xiao Bei slightly explained to Wang Yangming about the Blood Dragon Gate, and then walked up to Ma Erdan, and said in a loud voice: "Ma Erdan, Mingzun and the Lord of Yimen are okay?"

Ma Erdan's face was like earth, shaking like chaff, and said, "How do you know our identity...... Could it be that you are Cao Wenzhao's person? But how could Cao Wenzhao know that Mingzun was in Xi'an?"

Xiao Bei pushed the boat down the river and said: "Our Lord Cao is like a god, not only knows that Mingzun is in Xi'an, but has already arranged a net of heaven and earth, ready to catch you all, you quickly explain, what are your plans, maybe Lord Cao has a good attitude towards you, spare you from death." ”

Ma Erdan was silent, and suddenly a fanatical look flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "You guys of the imperial court, in the eyes of Mingzun, are like ants. I advise you, whether it is the child's matter or the Mingzun's matter, it has nothing to do with your court, so you don't have to wade into this troubled water. If you insist on mixing, don't blame our men for being ruthless. ”

After speaking, the muscles on his body rolled, and his expression was hideous, as if there were insects crawling under the skin.

A thought flashed in Xiao Bei's mind instantly, and he shouted: "Brother Wang, get out of the way!" Then he turned around and rushed towards Wang Yangming.

When it was too late, several masked people burst their skins open, turned into flesh and blood cannonballs, and shot at Xiao Wang and the others. The two didn't have time to dodge, and they were immediately affected by the blood bullet, and their bodies flew more than ten feet and fell to the side of the road.

Xiao Bei's ears were buzzing, his head was dizzy, he slowly propped himself up, shook off his organs, and looked up at Wang Yangming. At a glance, he was taken aback, only to see that Wang Yangming's head and body had been blown open with several big holes, and his limbs were also mutilated, and he was no longer human.

Xiao Bei hurriedly rushed forward, helped Wang Yangming up, and after a look, he only felt that Wang Yangming's snort was weak and his limbs were cold. Suddenly, my heart was half cold, and I was at a loss for a while.

How did Wang Yangming even speak, comforted Xiao Bei and said: "Brother Xiao, don't panic, please help me to the side of the road, help me protect the Dharma for a while, don't let wild dogs and wolves eat my body." ”

Xiao Bei acted according to his words, and after a while, he saw that Wang Yangming's injuries were gradually healing, and soon there were no traces of injuries, and even his clothes became as good as new.

Xiao Xiao was shocked: "Brother Wang, your method of recovery is really magical, even the Endless Body may not be able to do it to such an extent." ”

Wang Yangming smiled and said: "My body is purely condensed by spirit, as long as my spirit is not extinguished, I can change at will, even if I am beaten into powder, I can recover as before, but it will take some time." ”

Xiao Bei exclaimed: "You are worthy of being the number one spiritual immortal body in the world, so aren't you invincible in the world?"

Wang Yangming smiled bitterly and said: "How can there be such a good thing, my body is limited by my knowledge, the deeper I understand the truth of the world, the more my immortal soul can play a role." Theoretically, I can incarnate all things and learn any exercises in the world. But anything in the world, even if it is as small as a mustard seed, contains a way that is secretly in line with the operation of the universe, and it needs to be understood tirelessly.

For example, when I learn a martial art, although I can understand the literal truth instantly and integrate it into my body, I am extremely rigid when I use it, and I can't adapt to it. If I have a slight misunderstanding of this martial art, I will not be able to use it at least, or I will go mad. In short, it is impossible to practice a kung fu to perfection like ordinary people, step by step, day by day. Therefore, I have studied martial arts for so many years, and although I know how to do it, I am not proficient in any of them. At the same time, my physical body could not be strengthened by exercise, and I was very susceptible to injury, and although I was able to recover quickly, there was always a moment when I could not move and let others slaughter me. ”

Xiao Bei listened, and was incomprehensible for a while, frowning and thinking hard. Wang Yangming patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about it, all in all, although I am immortal and immortal, my martial arts are not very high, so the heavy responsibility of protecting me falls on your shoulders." With that, he turned over his horse and ran towards the river temple.

Xiao Bei sighed, and in desperation, he also climbed on the back of the horse and ran with Wang Yangming.

The two ran for another five miles, and when they reached the vicinity of the River Temple, Wang Yangming tightened the reins, slowed down the pace of the horses, and then quietly dismounted and tied the reins to a big tree. Xiao Bei concocted it in the same way. The two of them held their breath, squatted down, and quietly walked into the River Temple.

Wang Yangming pricked up his ears, listened carefully to the movement for a while, then stood up straight, shook the flames, and said loudly: "Brother Xiao, get up, there is no one here." ”

Xiao Bei breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his waist, and said, "Brother Wang, it's dark here, what clues are you looking for, I'm afraid it will have to wait until tomorrow morning." Could it be that we're going to spend the night here?"

Wang Yangming suddenly made a gesture, meaning to ask Xiao Bei to secretly go to the main hall, and then said loudly: "Indeed, I have this intention, and we will rest at the gate of the main hall." ”

Xiao Bei understood and walked gently towards the main hall. I only heard Wang Yangming imitate his voice and say, "Okay, Brother Wang, you sleep on that haystack, and I sleep on this plank." "It's so vivid.

Xiao Jie had arrived at the door of the main hall at this time, and suddenly flashed, entered the main hall, his eyes lit with green fire, and looked into the hall.

The hall was empty, and only the statue of the god that had been split in half by lightning stood quietly. Xiao Bei looked around and didn't find anything abnormal, so he shouted: "Lao Wang, come in, there is no one here." ”

Wang Yangming hurriedly walked in from the front hall and said suspiciously: "Strange, I obviously heard the sound of breathing here, why did it disappear in a blink of an eye?"

Suddenly, Wang Yangming's eyes were fixed on the statue of the river god and looked at it carefully.

The upper body of this idol is a Confucian with a delicate face, and the lower body is half fish and half dragon. The whole statue is about one zhang high, about two zhang long, and about five feet wide. Half of the upper body was destroyed by something, revealing the empty inner tank of the statue. The breach was charred and black, like coal, and seemed to be burned by high temperatures.

Wang Yangming lit a torch, stepped forward and touched the hole, and said, "It's strange and strange, it seems that it was really broken by lightning." ”

Xiao Qiqi said: "Old Wang, do you suspect that there is another reason for the damage of this statue?"

Wang Yangming said: "At that time, when the thunder fell, only Ma Erdan was present, and the rest of the people speculated based on what Ma Erdan said. Ma Erdan is also a member of the Blood Dragon Gate, so of course his words are not credible. What's more, as Master Li said, this idol is sealed all over, how can a child enter it? The biggest possibility is that Ma Erdan first destroys the idol, stuffs the child into it, and then creates the illusion of lightning splitting. ”

Xiao Bei suddenly realized, and Wang Yangming continued: "But looking at the shape of this breach, it seems that it is really caused by thunder, so it is difficult to understand, how did the child enter the statue?"

Saying that, Wang Yangming took the torch, surrounded the statue, looked around, moved and beat, and tinkered for a long time, then looked up to the sky and sighed, and said: "Sure enough, there is no gap, but the horse and the second egg saw the thunder split the statue of the god, so he temporarily made up his mind and stuffed the child's body in." ”

Xiao Bei suddenly asked, "Then Ma Erdan came here with the villagers, so how did he hide his body along the way?"

Wang Yangming thought for a long time, stared at the idol with his eyes and said, "There is no entrance to this statue, could it be that this entrance is at the bottom?"
