A knife in love

Chapter 816

Li Qiufeng heard that the footsteps were heavy and messy, not like the sound made by someone with martial arts walking, so he was not nervous.The sound of footsteps stopped before the door, followed by a few knocks on the door, and then someone said respectfully, "Excuse me, is Master Li there?"

Li Qiufeng walked to the door, stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, but saw a man in his 40s standing outside the door.The man was wearing a gray cloth flat cap, a pair of cardigan cloud shirt, and black cloth shoes on his feet.Looking at this attire, he looks like a Taoist priest who has become a monk.It's just that this person has a flattering smile on his face, and above the details, there are two broom eyebrows, which looks a bit treacherous.

Li Qiufeng said: "My surname is Li, how dare I ask this big brother what he wants from me?"

The middle-aged man bowed to the ground and said in his mouth: "The villain is the temple owner of this Town God's Temple. He was ordered by the Xiuwu County Yamen to take charge of various affairs in the Town God's Temple. Early this morning, Wan Er Lord passed on the password of the adults in the Yamen. It is said that Master Li is going to stay temporarily in our Town God's Temple. The villain should have been here to greet him all the time, but he has to leave temporarily for some important business. When he just came back, he heard that Master Li had arrived, so the villain hurried over to see him I'm sorry for Mr. Li. I can't meet Mr. Li in person today, but I hope Mr. Li will forgive me."

After Miao Zhu finished speaking, he clasped his hands into fists and bowed his body, not daring to raise his head.Li Qiufeng thought to himself, Wan Congyun and others have always pulled up big banners as tiger skins, and seeing the appearance of this temple, they must have been frightened by Wan Congyun.So he smiled and said: "It turned out to be Mr. Miaozhu. I have ordered the magistrate and the county magistrate to stay in your temple for a few days. Please forgive Miaozhu if I disturb you."

Miao Zhu waved his hands again and again, and said in his mouth: "Don't dare! Don't dare! Our Town God's Temple is not under the jurisdiction of Taoism, but the temple property of the Yamen. The masters in the Yamen are the masters in charge of our Town God's Temple. There are other temples. Temple officials and abbots, only our Town God's Temple is managed by the villain temporarily. Mr. Li is sent by the county magistrate and the county magistrate, so the villain should serve carefully and do his duty."

Seeing this situation, Li Qiufeng thought of Zhang Hao's words, and knew that the more polite he was, the more disturbed he would be.So he coughed twice, pretending to be solemn and said: "This is the best. You go back first, if I have something, I will come to you."

Miao Zhu seemed to have received an amnesty, saying yes again and again, bowed his body and slowly stepped back five or six steps, bowed to the ground again, and then turned and left.

Li Qiufeng looked at Miao Zhu's back, shook his head, then closed the door, sat back in the chair, carefully recalled the situation of the past half day, and found nothing wrong.He thought to himself, now that Huang Xu has returned to the county office, according to Yu Fan's opinion, Huang Chong has not punished her, so he doesn't have to worry about her.And the nuns of Kule Nunnery were placed by Yu Fan in Ziyang Temple in the north of the city. He didn't know what was going on there, so they could go and have a look while there was nothing else to do.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng made up his mind.He first found the waist knife wrapped in a bed sheet from under the bed, looked carefully for a moment, held the blade with both hands, concentrated his internal energy on his arms, and broke it with both hands, only to hear a "click", the waist knife had been broken from the center. two cuts.Li Qiufeng acted according to the law, and in a short while, he broke a waist knife into more than ten pieces.He wrapped these fragments in the bed sheet, tied them firmly, and hung the Xiuchun knife on his belt, and then walked out of the room with the package.

It was already afternoon at this time, Li Qiufeng was afraid of disturbing Miao Zhu, if he came over and talked, it would inevitably cause trouble.Therefore, Li Qiufeng was very careful when opening and closing the door, and did not make a sound.Then he tiptoed out of the backyard, only to see cigarettes lingering in the courtyard of the main hall, and more than a hundred pilgrims were busy in the courtyard.Li Qiufeng swaggered across the courtyard, but no one paid attention.

When he walked out of the gate of Chenghuang Temple, the smell of incense was everywhere on his body.Li Qiufeng pinched his nose, figured out the direction, and walked to the north of the city.After he walked through two streets and asked an old tofu seller on the side of the road where Ziyang Temple was, he quickly walked towards Ziyang Temple.

When he came to the gate of Ziyangguan, he saw that the temple was not too big, and it was far behind the Temple of the City God.The wall outside the temple is not more than ten feet high, and the top of the wall is covered with decaying grass, and some tiles have disappeared.Although the temple gate was closed tightly, the red paint on the temple gate had been completely peeled off, the potholes were uneven, and the whole temple showed signs of decay.

Li Qiufeng thought to himself that since Emperor Jiajing came to the throne, he has always believed in Taoism, and all the government officials in various places have vigorously promoted Taoism, so the Taoist temples have been built incomparably luxurious.Why is the Ziyang Temple in front of me so dilapidated? Does Huang Chong dare not respect Taoism?

He thought about it for a while, but still couldn't figure it out, so he walked quickly to the temple gate and knocked on the door a few times.After a while, there was only the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the door, and then the temple door was opened with a small gap, and half of a Taoist nun's face was exposed from the gap.Seeing this Taoist sized up Li Qiufeng, she said, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Li Qiufeng saw that the little Taoist nun was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and her childishness was still on her face. Although she spoke rudely, she didn't think it was disobedient.Li Qiufeng said: "The Taoist priest has invited you. My surname is Li. I want to meet some teachers who lived in Guiguan last night."

The little nun's face changed, she looked Li Qiufeng up and down, and said: "We are a Taoist temple here, only Taoist priests, where are there any teachers?"

After she finished speaking, she had to forcefully close the temple door.Li Qiufeng was stunned, seeing that the temple door was about to close, in a hurry, he stretched out his left hand, and was poking between the two doors, trying to prevent the little Taoist nun from closing the door.The little Taoist nun was still young, she didn't know much about world affairs, and she didn't know martial arts, so she didn't know how to act properly.When he closed the door with both hands, he had used all his strength.When she saw Li Qiufeng's left hand stretched between the two doors, she was startled and wanted to pull the door shut.It's just that she is a weak girl, how can she send and receive freely like the people in the martial arts world.There was only a scream from the little Taoist nun, followed by a "click", the temple door pushed by the little Taoist nun tightly clamped Li Qiufeng's left arm.

The little Taoist nun's face changed drastically, and she was filled with regrets.He thought to himself that he had used all his strength to push this man's arm between the gates of the temple, it would be a wonder if he broke his arm.Seeing that the little Taoist nun's face turned pale in an instant, Li Qiufeng suddenly felt joking.Li Qiufeng screamed "Oops", then grabbed his left arm with his right hand and squatted down on the ground.

The little nun hurriedly opened the temple door, bent down, and said to Li Qiufeng in a trembling voice, "I, I didn't pinch your arm on purpose... Are you, are you okay?"

Li Qiufeng looked pained, and tremblingly said: "My arm is broken, do you think it's okay?"

The little nun heard Li Qiufeng said that her arm was broken, and she became more and more frightened. She reached out to touch Li Qiufeng's left arm, but she didn't dare.He stood in a daze for a moment, and suddenly burst into tears with a "wow".

Originally, Li Qiufeng only wanted to tease the little Taoist nun, but when she saw her burst into tears, he was at a loss for what to do. He hurriedly stood up and said to the little Taoist nun: "Little Taoist priest, I'm scaring you. You see, my arm is not injured. "

While talking, Li Qiufeng turned his left arm a few times in front of the little nun's eyes.But when the little Taoist nun saw him like this, she cried louder.Li Qiufeng felt very embarrassed, and scolded himself in his heart as a bastard, why did he tease this little Taoist nun and make things impossible to end.

When he was in embarrassment, the cry of the little Taoist nun had already reached the temple.Only the sound of footsteps was heard, and many people rushed out from the main hall and wing rooms of Guannei.Li Qiufeng thought to himself that he caused a disaster by being careless for a moment.If someone finds out that he is talking to this little Taoist here, he will think that he has bad intentions, which will make the little Taoist burst into tears.At that time, I am afraid that I will not be able to speak clearly if my whole body is full of mouths.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng turned around and wanted to slip away.Unexpectedly, just as he walked down the stone steps, he suddenly heard a roar, and something flew over from the yard, hitting Li Qiufeng directly on the back of his heart.Li Qiufeng dodged to the left, only to hear a "hoo", a wooden stool flew by Li Qiufeng's side, and after flying two or three feet away, it fell to the ground with a "bang", and fell to pieces immediately.

Li Qiufeng's heart shuddered.He had seen the old Taoist nun from Ziyang Temple yesterday who was brought to the city gate by the yamen's tolerance to meet the nuns of Kule Nunnery, and he really didn't know martial arts.The little nun who opened the door just now is not a martial arts practitioner either.At this time, a wooden stool was suddenly thrown by someone, with the force of the wind, it was obviously a martial artist who made the move.Although this kind of martial arts is nothing special, Li Qiufeng didn't expect that the female Taoists in Ziyang temple could also know martial arts, so he felt a little strange.

When he turned around, he saw that five or six people had rushed out of the gate of Ziyang Temple, each wielding a long sword in their hands, and they were about to charge towards Li Qiufeng.But when Li Qiufeng turned around, the five or six people stopped in their tracks, and then one of them said in shock: "Hero Li, why is it you?!"

Li Qiufeng looked intently, but saw Huijing, Huiming, Huiwen and other nuns from Kule Nunnery rushed out.Li Qiufeng had already held the handle of the Xiuchun Knife with his right hand, but when he saw the faces of these people clearly, he let go of his right hand again.

Huijing and the others walked up to Li Qiufeng quickly, and the swords in their hands were sheathed one after another.Huijing clasped his hands together, with a look of surprise and joy on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "Hero Li, why are you here?"

Li Qiufeng felt embarrassed, thought for a moment, and then said: "I, I just came here to see if everyone is okay..."

Huiwen smiled and said, "What's wrong? With the face of Li Daxia, they are very good to us. After arriving here last night, the most famous doctor in the city has been waiting here to heal and apply medicine for us. And Guanzhong has already prepared hot water and vegetarian food. We took a comfortable bath and ate well. We even got new monk robes this morning. Thank you, Daxia Li. You, we didn't suffer a big loss."

Huiming, Huijing and the others were also chattering non-stop, and when they talked about the rise, they even danced.Li Qiufeng was surrounded by a group of female nuns, neither said nor laughed, and was quite embarrassed for a while.A dozen Taoist nuns from Ziyang Temple also ran out and asked the little Taoist nun what happened.It's just that the little nun was so frightened, she just sobbed non-stop, but couldn't speak.

In the midst of chaos, a person suddenly heard loudly saying: "You look like Buddhist disciples?!"
