Coming to Tianyi Pavilion again is already the beginning of the lanterns. Ximen Hongyun and Murong Chang hated everyone to be there, and as soon as they communicated, Ximen Hongyun and everyone were smooth and safe in the afternoon; when they heard that Ren Tianqi and the three of them were blocked and assassinated in the Zizhu Forest, everyone was shocked and felt that the situation was serious.

Bo Yifan was restless, his face was dead, and his eyes were blank. Ximen Hongyun disagreed, but his brows were tightly locked. Murong hated but was very happy, not afraid at all, such a rare opportunity to show his head could not be missed, and he and Ren Tianqi had a few glasses in a row, and they showed their heroic qualities in their high-minded speeches, and the three servants of the Murong family did not think so, and their expressions were free.

Seeing that everyone was not very relieved, Murong Chang smiled hatefully: "If you can trust me, you can stay in the same inn with me at night, I want to see what kind of three-headed and six-armed person who claims to be a thin man of life and death!"

Ren Tianqi smiled slightly, and said: "Thank you Gongzi for your kindness, the three of us don't need Murong Gongzi to worry about self-protection; ”

Everyone nodded yes, Bo Yifan and Ximen Hongyun were full of gratitude to Ren Tianqi. Everyone drank for a while, and agreed to meet in the morning of tomorrow, and then disperse after going to Longqiu Villa to pay their respects.

Ren Tianqi and the three of them got on the horse and walked towards the guest inn, turned a street, and were about to go to the stone bridge, and there was a man sitting on the bridge.

The man looked up and saw the three men, and hurriedly jumped off the railing of the bridge to meet them.

Ren Tianqi and the three of them were on guard, and they were busy standing still, Tang Shengzhi had already reached into his arms and felt out the poison dart in his hand, and the dart was fed with the poison that sealed his throat with blood; Ren Tianqi also pulled out the spotted bamboo sword with a "whoosh", pointed at the person, and shouted in a deep voice: "Stop, don't take another half step forward, otherwise you're welcome!"

The person who came hurriedly stopped his feet, stood still from a distance, raised his head and bowed his hand, and said in a low voice: "Lu Shixing, a six-bag disciple of the Xia Beggars Gang, came to see Ren Shaoxia on the order of the old gang leader. ”

Lu Shixing's name Ren Tianqi still remembered that there was such a number one person in the beggar gang, but it was dark, Ren Tianqi couldn't see the face of the person who came, and he looked like Lu Shixing when he heard his voice, but he didn't dare to confirm it, so he didn't say anything to watch the changes.

The person who came smiled and said: "Ren Shaoxia doesn't have to scruples, the villain has his own Nine Dragons Jade Pendant given by the old gang leader to Shaoxia as proof here!"

Ren Tianqi smiled coldly and said, "Is it?", the murderous heart has been moved, this is another trap that has no origin, jumped off the horse, and forced the person to come with a sword to make a move;

The person who came held an object and said with a smile: "In the morning, I helped a young man in Tianyi Pavilion to steal the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant and a mask and other things, the villain happened to pass by, recognized it as the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant, and hurriedly reported back to the old gang leader." The old gang leader saw that he was busy with the Nine Dragons Jade, and he heard that the young man Ru and others had caused trouble with life and death, and he was afraid that you and the others would have a mistake when they were young, so they sent the villain to the guest inn to inquire. When the villain arrived at the inn, he saw a group of people who were setting up an ambush around the guest house, so I sneaked into the young man's room and took out the things he had brought with him, and I thought that this bridge was the only way for everyone to return to the store, so the villain has been waiting here. The Nine Dragons Jade Pendant and the Jade Mask are here, please verify it with Shaoxia. ”

Someone came and presented the object. Ren Tianqi took out his sword and took a look at the mask of Jiulongyu and his mentor who were indeed beggars, and realized that he had misunderstood someone. Ren Tianqi stepped forward and grabbed the person who came, and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you Lu Daxia, thank you Lu Daxia, you don't say anything, I bother to ask where your old gang leader Yin is now?"

Lu Xingyuan said with a smile: "Please let a few young people come from the little ones who can meet my old gang leader!"

Seeing Lu Shixing again, Ren Tianqi was very happy, and when he asked, he learned that Lu Shixing was transferred back to the gang leader to work because of his outstanding achievements in Huaibei for several years, and this time he came to Yangzhou with the gang leader to make a birthday for Qiu Lao Zhuang.

The four of them turned and went north, went out of the city, walked seven or eight miles east, went up a hill, and everyone dismounted and climbed the steps, through a dense and towering forest, and came to the door of a yellow-walled and red-tiled temple.

Lu Shixing stepped forward and gently pulled the door knocker a few times, and a small monk opened the door, turned around and shouted: "It's Senior Brother Lu who is back, open the door quickly." ”

The temple door was wide open, and a few little monks and a few little flowers ran out. Everyone stepped forward and rushed to greet Lu Shixing, it seems that Lu Shixing is quite popular.

Lu Shixing took the horses of the three and handed them to the monks, turned around and asked, "Did my old gang leader and the host sleep?"

One person replied: "Not yet, they are all chatting in the abbot's room, waiting for news from the senior brother." ”

Lu Shixing hurriedly led the three of them to the abbot's room, but when he saw the eyebrows clear, the fifteen or sixteen-year-old monk stood still outside the door.

Lu Shixing stepped forward to salute and whispered a few words in his ear. The monk nodded and turned around and pushed the door in, and came out with a smile after a moment: "The host master invites Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Ren and the two heroes to go in." ”

Ren Tianqi and the three of them met the salute, and then entered the abbot's room.

The abbot's room is brightly lit, empty and refreshing, fragrant and refreshing, the decoration is extremely simple and literate, in addition to the statue of the god hanging with a few volumes of gold wire sketches on the front hall, it is a few regular script ink characters, which is very conspicuous.

There is a hanging couplet:

Said Hui Mu Song Shen Zhu Xinlian is happy and self-sufficient,

Bayeux gargles and the courtyard is quiet, and the courtyard is secluded and far-reaching.

There is a poem:

The adjacent idle farm is the embankment, and the spring dove is the night stream stone.

The light rain is quiet, and he is busy waiting for the day.

Chen Ge woke up as a thank you, and Luohui Shenzhu went together.

There were several people sitting in the room, in addition to the old gang leader Yin, there were three white-bearded and white-haired old monks, one named Hua and one monk, all about ten years old.

Lu Shixing stepped forward to see the three great monks in the temple, and saw the old gang leader standing up behind the gang leader.

Yin Kaishan stroked his beard, and pointed to the three great monks to introduce Ren Tianqi and the three of them: "These three are my junior disciples, and they are also the three masters of Qiling Temple. ”

Ren Tianqi and the three of them stepped forward to respectfully put down their robes and knelt down, knocked their heads three times, and saw the three masters.

The three great monks hurriedly hugged each other and said with a smile: "The three virtuous nephews don't need to be polite, please sit aside." ”

Yin Kaishan pointed at Tang Shengzhi and said: "This is the second eldest of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, Tang Shengzhi, erudite and versatile, easy-going, blunt and thick-hearted, low-key and cautious, never bullying people with drugs, a very good offspring." ”

Tianguang said with a smile: "The blessing of the old Tang monks, the glory of the Tang Gate, the Tang Gate should be carried forward!"

Yin Kaishan smiled and said: "A very good offspring, my old education is also a treasure!"

Tang Shengzhi bowed his head to the two and said with a smile: "The seniors love it, and the younger ones are flattered." ”

Yin Kaishan pointed at Wen Tingyu and said: "This is also a native of Shuzhong, Wen Tingyu, the old man of the martial arts sect he learned is not very clear, he was born with a good body, he is extremely talented, he has more hobbies, although his martial arts are much higher than ordinary people, but he could have gone to the next level, which is a bit of a pity." ”

Yin Kaishan pointed at Ren Tianqi, and the Tianguang monk smiled: "This is Ren Tianqi, the proud disciple of the senior brother!"

Yin Kaishan shook his hand and said with a smile: "How can I have the kind of ability to teach such a high disciple, it's okay to occasionally dial that night on the side!"

Monk Tianming made a move and asked Tianqi to come forward, and said, "Song Yigong is a virtuous nephew and uncle, and the bamboo sword can be in your hands?"

Ren Tianqi replied respectfully, turned around and handed over the spotted bamboo sword.

Tianming took it, pulled out the sword with his back wrist, looked at it carefully under the lamp, and said with a smile: "This is one of the most famous three swords in Shaolin twenty years ago.

Tianming handed the sword to the two senior brothers to circulate, and smiled at Ren Tianqi: "The old monk looked at the face of the virtuous nephew, and the virtuous nephew is also a noble person. It's just that the dragon and phoenix in this person's life is also quite difficult, although it is very expensive, but it must suffer some hardships first, which is the so-called jade does not grind into the truth, people are expensive and refined. You have been away from home for ten years, the suffering has almost been eaten, presumably you will have achieved fame, the way of life has its own old gang leader to teach, the old monk I don't need to say much; just look at your face, both cheeks are wide and with green clamp power, the heart of killing is quite heavy, it is expected that in the next ten years you will definitely have the disaster of swords, commit the catastrophe of the white tiger and the green dragon, but the old monk still has to persuade you to be kind at that time, do not have more evil thoughts, and should focus on the blessings of the world. ”

Ren Tianqi said: "Thank you for the master's teachings, the younger generation should remember it in their hearts." ”

Yin Kaishan said: "Sure enough, the old man will not be spared!

Ren Tianqi worships the authentic yes.

Tianming looked at Ren Tianqi carefully again, and said, "The virtuous nephew stretched out his hand to come over." ”

Ren Tianqi stretched out his right hand and rested it on the table.

Tianming stretched out his hand to check the pulse, closed his eyes for a long time, let go and opened his eyes to Yin Kaishan and said: "Senior brother, Tianqi's pulse is fast and slow, the conflict is uncertain, and it seems to have a hundred clues; ”

Yin Kaishan was puzzled when he heard this, stepped forward and grabbed Ren Tianqi's right hand, interlocked his fingers, and said, "Qi'er, let Lao Zhaohua give it a try, use the five layers of skill!"

Ren Tianqi inhaled and pushed his palms according to his words, and Yin Kaishan greeted him with his palms.

After a long time, the two of them withdrew their strength, and Yin Kaishan wondered: "How can there be two true qi in your body, hot and cold, these two qi do not seem to be integrated, and there is a big fight between male and female?"

Ren Tianqi said: "The younger generation doesn't know why. It's just that in the past month or so, when I get up in the morning to exercise, I feel dizzy and nauseous, and this situation has become more and more serious;

Yin Kaishan returned to his seat and said, "Let's not talk about this matter first, what's going on between the three of you and the life and death room, causing gossip outside and killings?"

Ren Tianqi told everything that had happened in the past two days.

Yin Kaishan frowned and said: "I have seen you and a few others in Tianyi Pavilion yesterday," Yin Kaishan pointed at Tang Shengzhi, Yin Kaishan said: "Seeing that it was inconvenient for Er and others to show up, they hid under the table and never showed up. Let's talk again, judging from the conspiracy of Zizhulin today, this Ximen Hongyun and Bo Yifan will be poisoned tonight, and they are afraid of right and wrong. The father of Ximen Hongyun is not easy to mess with, he is known as the Three-Eyed Guanyin, and his mind is too narrow-minded; however, this Ximen Qingyuan's martial arts are not comparable to anyone, and if his son suffers, wouldn't this Jianghu be bloody again? Presumably, no one dares to offend Ximen's father and son too much! However, this Ximen Hongyun is not a bad person, but he is a little flamboyant. This Bo Yifan usually doesn't say anything, and it's a good thing to suffer a little. ”

Ren Tianqi replied: "We all thought that this would be the case, and we specially asked Gusu Murong Gongzi and others to help." Murong Hongyun's family is very knowledgeable, and it is expected that there will be no major problems. ”

Yin Kaishan nodded and said to the three junior disciples, "What do you think of this?"

Tianchen said: "Life and death are not related to the Ten Palaces of Yama, but what happened in these two or three days is not certain, but someone wants to use life and death to make a fuss, this person is not only strong in martial arts, but also can drive many heroes in the rivers and lakes to use it, which is not something that ordinary people or small sects in the rivers and lakes can do." If you want to find clues, it is not easy, and you need to start from several major families, villas and famous families. It's just that someone is in a hurry to kill Tianqi and the other five people, which seems to have a mystery and is unpredictable. ”

Tianming said: "The reason for this does not seem to be difficult to explain. If it was indeed done by the Life and Death Book and his gang, the intention of chasing and killing the five Tianqi people was that the reappearance of the Life and Death Book did not go smoothly as usual, and the assassination must have gone wrong during the assassination, and the pursuit and killing was only to maintain the consistent style of his actions; if it was not the work of the Life and Death Book in the past, but for someone to use the Life and Death Book to spread rumors and make trouble, and there was an ulterior conspiracy, Tianqi and the others must have discovered their flaws and wanted to destroy all their plans, and of course the other party would kill people and make amends. ”

Ren Tianqi said: "I waited for the night to visit Chongya Academy, I was frightened and very timid, but I couldn't find any abnormalities or clues, but I always noticed that this matter was very strange, and I was more puzzled!"

Yin Kaishan nodded and said: "It makes sense, it seems that the existence of this life and death is undoubted, and it has been intimidating the rivers and lakes for more than twenty years." But as far as I know, this matter has always had nothing to do with the Ten Palaces of Yama, and it is clear that Longqiu Zhuang has to plan carefully, and it seems that there will be no peace in this river and lake anymore. Hey, a bloody battle is about to begin. ”

When the three monks heard this, they even called Amitabha Buddha and were silent.

Ren Tianqi smiled at Yin Kaishan and asked, "Old man, who is that young man with empty hands? Can you call us to see me?"

Yin Kaishan said happily: "Speaking of this child, I always call it a baby pimple. He was picked up in the bamboo forest near the Guanyin Temple in Yangzhou City 14 years ago, but it took a lot of effort to adopt him. This kid has lived in the flower for a long time, and he hasn't learned much kung fu, but he has achieved a pair of wonderful hands, and this empty technique is very good. However, then again, this kid is quite filial, all the good things are taken to give to my old man called flowers, so that my old man is now a big family property, and even this go out can not be at ease; Let's see, isn't this the piece I gave you? That's why Lu Shixing went to find you. ”

"What about my junior brother, how can I never see the ground?" Ren Tianqi said with a smile.

Yin Kaishan said: "Yangzhou City is as lively as a temple fair, how can he be idle, he has already gone down to touch things!"

Ren Tianqi smiled and shook his head.

Everyone talked about some recent trivial matters in the rivers and lakes and Ren Tianqi's family, and when they saw that it was not early, the temple arranged to rest.

Ren Tianqi and Yin Kaishan slept in the same room, and the two talked about half the night, and waited until the rooster crowed, and the two fell asleep in their clothes.
