save the bachelors

Chapter 4220 [Shuiyue Temple]

"Yidao, stop talking." Haitang covered her ears. She absolutely did not want to doubt her adoptive father.

"Okay, I won't say anything more." Xiang Nan nodded, "We'll set off tonight. Don't worry, no one can catch up with us."

Haitang nodded, "What about the palace duty?"

"Now there are wolves and tigers everywhere. We may be bitten at any time, and no one will pity us." Xiang Nan said, "Do you know what is the most valuable thing I learned in Jueqing Villa?"

"Isn't that Ba Dao's unique skill, the Jueqing Slash?" Haitang asked doubtfully.

Gui Hai Yidao studied in Jueqing Villa for six years. After passing a series of cruel tests, he finally learned Ba Dao's unique skill, Jueqing Zhan, and became one of the top masters in the martial arts world.

Even Duan Tianya, the number one secret agent, may not be a match for Gui Hai Yidao.

"No, it's about learning how to survive." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "In Jueqing Villa, the selection of successors is extremely cruel. Among the 128 people, only one survives in the end, so everyone is in danger. Everyone wants to survive to the end, so they are facing danger all the time.

After six years of suffering, I understand better than anyone that survival is of the utmost importance. Only by surviving can we have a chance to turn things around, otherwise everything will be in vain.

Life is precious. I can sacrifice for a belief, a goal, or a person, but I don’t want to die in vain. Especially if I die in a cruel political struggle, it has no meaning. ”

Haitang nodded.

She also didn't want to die in confusion, especially being regarded as a traitor and killed by her own people.

……

Xiang Nan and Haitang left the capital that night and went to Shuiyue Temple.

Both of them are highly skilled in martial arts, and have served as secret agents for many years. Naturally, they are very familiar with the tasks of espionage, tracking, and surveillance, and are also quite familiar with how to crack them.

Therefore, after they left the capital, they easily got rid of those people who were following them.

Two days later, they came to Shuiyue Temple where Yidao's mother Lu Huanong lived.

Shuiyue Temple is located in Ezhou, and is a temple hidden in a bamboo forest deep in the mountains. There is no one in this temple except Yidao's mother.

After Yidao's father Gui Hai Bai Lian passed away, she sent her son, who was determined to seek revenge, to Hulong Villa. Later, she built Shuiyue Temple in the bamboo forest deep in the mountains. From then on, she practiced Buddhism with her hair uncut, ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddhist scriptures.

She was not afraid of wild animals or bad guys breaking in. Because Lu Huanong, as Gui Hai Bai Lian's wife, was also a female knight who roamed the rivers and lakes in her past. She wielded the 72-stroke Jade Maiden Sword, which was agile and elegant, and unparalleled in the world.

In terms of strength, she was even stronger than Haitang, so there were not many people who could defeat her. Besides, no one would bully an old woman like her without any reason.

"This place is really quiet." Haitang couldn't help but admire it when she came to Shuiyue Temple.

If Xiang Nan had not led the way, she would never have imagined that in the depths of this dense forest, there would be a bamboo courtyard. It was quiet, elegant, peaceful and simple, and it was indeed a great place to relax and cultivate the mind.

Xiang Nan nodded and took Haitang into Shuiyue Temple.

When I arrived at the nunnery, I saw a woman meditating and chanting in front of the Buddha.

"Mother~" Xiang Nan called softly.

"Yidao, you come to see me once a year. This year, you came earlier than in previous years." The woman put down her rosary and the gavel that was hitting the wooden fish, stood up, looked at Xiang Nan and said, "This girl is..."

"She is Shangguan Haitang. I mentioned her to you before." Xiang Nan explained, "She was too tired in the capital and wanted to find a quiet place to rest. So I brought her here. Please help take care of her."

"Okay." Lu Huanong nodded, smiled and took Haitang's hand, "If you don't mind my old lady's plainness, you can stay here."

"Thank you, aunt." Haitang also smiled.

... Lu Huanong then cooked a vegetarian meal for Haitang and Xiang Nan.

After dinner, Xiang Nan and Haitang sat on the rooftop and chatted about the time when they followed the Godly Man to practice martial arts, and their previous mission experiences...

In fact, Gui Hai Yidao and Shangguan Haitang have a lot to talk about.

When Shen Hou took them in, he first taught them the basic skills. After they had laid a solid foundation, they were sent to the Iga Sect, Jueqing Villa and Wuhen Villa in Japan to learn skills.

Thus, they lived together for several years while the foundations were laid.

Later, after passing the test and becoming secret agents of the Imperial Palace, they also jointly completed many tasks, punishing evil and protecting the country and the people, which made the three secret agents of Tiandixuan famous in the world.

So they already had something to talk about just by talking about these old things.

Besides, Xiang Nan was not a warrior like Gui Hai Yi Dao, who was not good at anything other than killing people. He was also quite proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, medicine, divination, astrology, and Qi Men Dun Jia.

Of course, he couldn't show it so obviously.

Because Gui Hai Yidao is not as knowledgeable as him, if he performs too outstandingly, it will arouse Haitang's suspicion.

When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. At that time, people will even suspect that he is someone else in disguise.

Therefore, Xiang Nan only showed off a little bit of his skills, for example, he played a song "Original Scenery of Hometown" with a bamboo leaf whistle.

Just this little bit of talent displayed was enough to amaze Haitang.

"Yidao, the tune you just played was so beautiful. I didn't know you could play the whistle." Haitang said in surprise.

She thought Xiang Nan had no interest in romance and only knew how to practice martial arts and kill people. She didn't expect him to play the whistle so well, and she had never heard of this piece of music before.

"Just to relieve my stress occasionally." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.

"It sounds really beautiful. I've never heard it before. Did you make it?" Haitang asked curiously again.

"I made it myself, and it's called "Hometown,"" Xiang Nan explained.

"Hometown?!" Haitang was quite surprised. She didn't expect Xiang Nan to be so versatile. She really underestimated him before.

"Yes, hometown does not refer to a specific place, but the place that people most want to return to after they grow up," Xiang Nan explained.

“I see.” Haitang couldn’t help but sigh after hearing this, “No wonder when I heard your music just now, I suddenly thought of Hai Family Castle…”

She was the eldest daughter of Haijiabao. She had parents and relatives. The family lived happily together until one day a group of robbers broke into her home...

She couldn't forget this incident, and she couldn't forget it, but she didn't dare to think about it. Unexpectedly, Xiang Nan evoked her homesickness.

"I'm sorry, Haitang, I didn't mean it." Xiang Nan apologized quickly after hearing it.

"It's okay, I don't blame you." Haitang waved her hand and said, "I feel better after hearing your music. Yidao, you are really talented."

"No more." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Actually, I'm afraid you'll look down on me. You're a disciple of Master Wuhen, and you're proficient in poetry, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, medicine, divination, astrology, and Qimen Dunjia. I don't want to look like a warrior who can kill people."

"I've never looked at you like that before." Seeing him say that, Haitang quickly explained, "I will never do that again."

"Thank you." Xiang Nan nodded.

……

When Lu Huanong saw his son chatting with Haitang on the roof, he couldn't help but nodded secretly.
