Chapter 41 Nanshan Temple on Zhongnan Mountain
Ten miles away from the Black Wind Ferry, on a shoal of the Chilong River, a flower boat ran aground in it, and it was the hundred flower boat that escaped here through the fog.
At this time, the hull of the Baihua ship was full of eye-catching cracks, and there was a huge collapse at the bow and stern, especially the collapse of the stern, and a little black light flashed from it from time to time, which looked very weird.
If you get closer, you will find that the strange black light is actually shining from a black arrow.
And under the black arrow, there was a triangular peony flag that had been shot through a large hole......
After a night of sailing, the Baihua boat finally escaped from the Black Wind Ferry under the cover of fog and came to this shoal in Hanhai.
At this time, the Baihua boat was very badly damaged, and it was no longer able to continue sailing in the Chilong River, and the four peony array flags on the ship had been completely damaged, and the Baihua boat had lost the power to continue moving forward.
In desperation, Bai Xue had no choice but to abandon the ship with everyone.
And the only thing to be thankful for is that with the cover of the mist released by the incomplete 'National Color Heavenly Fragrance Array', they have already rushed out of the Black Wind Ferry and successfully entered the range of the Hanhai Country, but they don't have to worry that the White Eyebrow Administrator will chase them here.
At this time, Bai Xue's face was very pale, he looked very weak, and he kept coughing dryly, and with the support of Lu Luo and others, he went ashore with everyone on the boat.
Perhaps because of the reason for experiencing a life and death escape, some of the girls who were originally left behind were disgraced, and they didn't want to be involved in this danger of fighting and killing anymore, and after saying goodbye to Bai Xue and the matchmaker, they left along an official road by the river.
Bai Xue didn't stop them, the fairy road is vast, full of thorns, if you don't even have this bit of guts, it is a knowing choice to return to the world to live a dull life.
As for Fang Xian and Boyan, the two scholars, in the face of such a dangerous situation, they were very calm, and they did not have any thoughts of escaping from this place, and they had a bit of the backbone of a scholar who believed in his words.
Bai Canghai and the three of them didn't say anything about parting, after all, this matter was caused by them, and now Bai Xue was seriously injured in order to protect them, and the Hundred Flowers Boat was also damaged, so they naturally couldn't help it, so why was they embarrassed to put forward the idea of separating from everyone at this time?
Bai Xue looked at the three of them and naturally guessed their thoughts, but since she had already made her choice, she had nothing to regret.
So Bai Xue thought about it for a while, and then said bluntly to Bai Canghai and the others: "Ahead is the territory of Hanhai Kingdom, and the Zhongnan Mountain you want to go to will have to turn back along this land route for a long distance. I don't think that's how it works, we might as well go our separate ways......"
As Bai Xue spoke, she coughed violently again, and twice in a row she used her essence blood to drive the Bagua Array Disk, which caused her body to suffer a serious backlash, and she needed to rush back to Baihua Valley as soon as possible to recuperate.
Bai Canghai naturally understood what she wanted to say, so he interrupted her words and said, "Snow Fairy Bai don't say any more, I, Bai Canghai, promise you, after going to Zhongnan Mountain to settle the little county lord, I will definitely go to the Valley of Hundred Flowers to do my best ......"
"In this case, on behalf of the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Valley, I would like to thank Bai Gongzi. Bai Xue was overjoyed when she heard this, and coughed excitedly again.
Lu Luo hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him comb his breath behind Bai Xuehou's back, and said with a guilty face: "Senior sister, your injuries are too serious, so I don't need to say much." I don't think it's better to let Zi Ling and Qingyue escort you back to the Valley of Hundred Flowers first, and I will accompany Bai Gongzi and the three of them to Zhongnan Mountain, do you think this is good?"
Hearing this, Bai Xue's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood the meaning of Lu Luo's words, which was to follow Bai Canghai in the name of protecting Bai Canghai in case he would go back on his word after going to Zhongnan Mountain, and ignore the matter of agreeing to go to Baihua Valley.
"Your idea is not bad, I think Bai Mei and the woman in black will definitely not give up, Bai Gongzi is afraid that it is not safe for them to go to Zhongnan Mountain, and it is also necessary to have a monk by his side to guard him. Bai Xue just wanted to agree to Lu Luo's request, but then thought of Lu Luo's temper, and said after a change of words: "I don't think it's better to do this, just let Zi Ling go with them." There are quite a few people on our trip, and I am seriously injured, and I need your protection...... Senior Sister Luluo."
Lu Luo nodded silently when he heard this, and Zi Ling did not object.
Although Bai Canghai heard the meaning of their words, he didn't say anything.
As Bai Xue said, with the existence of the mysterious woman in black, it is not safe for them to go to Zhongnan Mountain, and it is also necessary for the protection of many monks around them.
As for the little bit of caution they hidden, Bai Canghai didn't mind much, people came to help the three of them so wholeheartedly, what reason did he have not to repay them?
Bai Canghai is not a ruthless and unrighteous person, although he doesn't want to cause trouble, he is never afraid of trouble.
At the beginning, he spared no effort to help Mo Datong and the little county lord escape from the pursuit of the head of Bai Mei, on the surface, he was coerced by Mo Datong, but in fact, Bai Canghai was willing to help them deep down.
After all, when he was dying in the ruined temple, it was this kind-hearted little county lord who gave him a bite to eat, which can be regarded as a life-saving grace for him.
Although he never said anything to repay the favor, his actions were exactly repaying the favor.
So sending the little county lord to Zhongnan Mountain safely is not just Mo Datong's idea, it is also what Bai Canghai is willing to see, this is undoubtedly the best way for him to repay the little county lord......
Then, after listening to Bai Xue's explanation, Zi Ling picked up his bags, said goodbye to everyone with Bai Canghai and the three of them, and walked along the official road by the Chilong River in the direction of Nanyan Kingdom.
As Bai Canghai walked, he couldn't help but glance back at the Baihua boat that had run aground.
I saw that Lu Luo was flying through the flight, flew back to the Baihua ship, pulled down the remaining two intact peony flags on the ship, and at the same time put away the black arrow, and then flew back to the shore......
Seeing all this in his eyes, Bai Canghai couldn't help but feel a little itchy, all kinds of magic of the peony array flag, and the powerful power of the black arrows, all made him fascinated.
In a sense, this was the first time he had witnessed the competition of immortal cultivators.
This made him fascinated at the same time, and at the same time, a window was opened in his heart, making him a little eager to understand this magical world.
Not only him, but even Mo Datong and the little county lord were also in turmoil, Mo Datong had long wanted to become an immortal cultivator, and now that he had seen the power of an immortal cultivator, this desire in his heart was even more urgent.
And the little county lord Nangong Rou, because of the blood feud on her body, naturally wants to make herself stronger, only in that way can she be able to avenge her parents in the future, after all, what she will face in the future is the behemoth of the Nanyan royal family, if she only relies on her current strength, I am afraid that it will be difficult to realize this wish in her lifetime.
As for Zi Ling, after getting Bai Xue's advice, he naturally understood the purpose of this trip, whether he would take a look at Bai Canghai or not, revealing a vigilant look that he was afraid that Bai Canghai would suddenly run away.
In this way, the four of them had their own thoughts and walked silently on the official road for a long time.
It wasn't until they encountered a market town that the four of them hired a carriage to travel on their behalf, bypassed the Black Wind Ferry, and traveled for most of the day, and finally arrived at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain in the evening.
Nanshan Temple is located on the halfway point of Jungnam Mountain, and although the mountain is not very high, it is very dangerous to go up the mountain overnight.
Moreover, Nanshan Temple will close the temple gate after nightfall, and no longer accept pilgrims who go up the mountain, so the four of them found an inn to live in the town below the mountain.
Let's say that at this time in the Nanshan Temple, many monks are doing evening classes in the main hall of the temple, and the trickling Buddhist scriptures come out of it, which makes people feel like their souls are washed and purified after hearing about it.
Behind the main hall, in a remote meditation room, three figures were reflected on the edge of the window by flickering candlelight.
Among them, one person sitting cross-legged, with a bald head and big ears and a kind face, is the presiding master of this Nanshan Temple.
It's just that his face at this time is a little not good-looking, his eyes are closed, and the corners of his eyes will show a distorted expression from time to time, obviously enduring some pain.
In front of him stood two people, one of whom was slightly chubby and had two striking white eyebrows, while the other was a masked woman with cold eyes.
If Bai Canghai and the others were here, they would recognize at a glance that these two were the white-eyebrow manager and the mysterious woman in black.
Looking at the Zhengyi Master in front of him, the head of Baimei did not step forward, but kept a distance from him, and said with a wary smile: "Brother Zhengqian, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you remember Baimei?"
Master Zhengyi still closed his eyes tightly and muttered to himself: "The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked." I have advised you a long time ago that there are people with whom you can share in the troubles, but he may not share in the wealth with you, but you did not listen, and lingered in the false name of the king side by side, and now it has been fulfilled......
When Bai Mei heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Nangong Zhengqian, don't be ignorant, it's your younger brother Nangong Zhengkun who is the first to expire His Majesty, how can you blame Your Majesty for being ruthless and not remembering the old love?"
Hearing this, Master Zhengyi suddenly opened his eyes, stared at Bai Mei and said, "My two brothers helped him ascend to the throne of Nanyan, isn't it more important to him than a water spirit bead?"
Bai Mei was very weak by him, and subconsciously wanted to hide behind the woman in black, but heard the woman in black say: "What are you afraid of? He has been poisoned by the demon poison of the bone, and he is dying, so he can't hurt your ......."
Bai Mei was a little relieved when he heard this, and said, "It's no wonder that I'm not going to blame, I'm just acting on orders......"
Master Zhengyi nodded and said, "I have already calculated that I will not be able to escape this fate, and I don't blame you." I just want you to promise me one thing for the sake of our desire to have a relationship......"
"What's the matter?" asked Bai Mei.
"Spare the other monks of Nanshan Temple......"
