Chapter 8 Oriole
Lu Chengfeng's fist stopped an inch away from his Tianling Gai, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about where he heard this voice.

The person pinned down by her gasped and tore off his mask: "...it's me!"

Lu Chengfeng let go of his hand in doubt: "Thirteen?"

Lu Chengfeng looked back at Xie Jiuxiao, not understanding what the two of them were doing, and said, "What are you doing?"

Thirteen sat up on the spot, twisted his face and spat out a mouthful of blood foam, his face was a little distorted, he wanted to stand up, but found that his chest was heavy and breathless from a punch, and his wrist was also in a tearing pain.

Thirteen rubbed his wrists, although he didn't want to admit it, he couldn't help but said: "Chengfeng, your strength is really strong! Almost crushed my bones!"

Lu Chengfeng stood in front of him and said, "If you delay speaking out, I'm afraid I will have to burn paper money for you on this day next year."

This half-truth and half-false joke relieved the embarrassment of the two of them a bit. Lu Chengfeng stretched out his hand to help him, and Thirteen stood up with his hand, and said, clutching his chest, "It's too fast! I admit defeat."

Lu Chengfeng said, "Are you okay?"

Thirteen gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, let me take a breather first."

Lu Chengfeng didn't believe that Thirteen said it was fine, he knew what he was doing with a little bit of effort, although he was holding on right now, if he didn't ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine for congestion and blood circulation when he returned home later, he might feel uncomfortable.

Thirteen walked towards Xie Jiuxiao, with a embarrassed look on his face: "...Young Master."

He said he was the one who wanted to compete, but he was the one who was beaten so badly that he vomited blood and almost died within three moves. It would be a lie to say that there is no shame!

Xie Jiuxiao didn't say anything, he asked people to sit down for a while, and his eyes fell on Lu Chengfeng who was not far away.

Lu Chengfeng honestly picked up the sword blade that Shisan had dropped on the ground and put it back into the scabbard, standing under the tree and looking over.

Unexpectedly, Xie Jiuxiao was looking at her. Their eyes met. The curiosity and surprise in Xie Jiuxiao's eyes were undisguised. Lu Chengfeng avoided the probing gaze and looked at the lake not far away.

Xie Jiuxiao noticed Lu Chengfeng's avoidance, and somehow wanted to laugh for some reason, thinking to himself, is it possible that a person like her is afraid sometimes?
Thirteen took a breath, and the three of them walked out of the woods, and after crossing an arch bridge, they saw the plaque gate of Qingshan Temple.

Stepping into the gate of the temple, there are many pilgrims in the temple today. An old monk is leading more than a dozen young monks to chant scriptures in the open space in the front yard, and many pilgrims are also sitting in the open space behind them to chant along.

Now that we arrived at the temple, it was inevitable to burn incense and worship the Buddha. Immediately after the three of them entered the hall, a young monk sent three sticks of incense, and they left the hall after worshiping.

The chanting in the courtyard was not over yet. Seeing that it was almost noon, Shisan held his swollen chin and made arrangements for the residence.

After eating the vegetarian meal, Shisan couldn't bear the pain after all, so he told Xie Jiuxiao, and then went to the abbot of Qingshan Temple to ask for a way to reduce swelling and relieve pain.

He muttered as he walked out.

Today is really musty!What kind of temple fair do you suggest to visit?Also try!It's fine if you don't walk through it three times in the hands of people!Now I have to find medicine for the pain!

What a shame to throw it home!

Lu Chengfeng opened the window, and the air flowed in. She turned around, and Xie Jiuxiao sat at the table with her forehead closed and her eyes closed.

Most of the temple's wing rooms are simple and crude, but they are still clean after being washed every day. Lu Chengfeng unfolded the mattress, walked up to him and whispered: "Master, can you rest on the couch?"

Xie Jiuxiao opened his eyes, and got up after a while. He didn't bring a change of clothes when he went out today, and he will have to wear this robe tomorrow. He lay on the bed so wrinkled and there was no place to iron it. Lu Chengfeng took off his coat and hung it up for him. next to.

Lu Chengfeng closed the door and went out, thinking whether Xie Jiuxiao would call her for a while, thinking that Shisan's injury was caused by his own attack too hard, so he looked for it.

She walked around the front hall and asked for directions, and when she arrived at the back hall, she heard Thirteen's voice: "Hey, hey, it hurts... Be gentle!"

An old man said helplessly: "Benefactor, if you want to quickly reduce the swelling of your chin, you can't take it lightly. If you scream so much, I have no choice but to stop."

Thirteen endured the pain and raised his chin, and said, "Don't, don't, don't! If I walk around with this chin on my shoulders, and people see me and ask a few more questions, I won't answer or not, alas...you do it, I will bear it." Go!"

Lu Chengfeng withdrew from the door, thinking that Shisan might not want to see him right now, so he went to the front hall, the temple fair was in full swing, and the crowd came and went to ask for the Lord Buddha's blessing.

When he was alone, a young monk with a bald head passed by Lu Chengfeng and said: "The benefactor, buy a heart, the Lord Buddha will bless you."

Lu Chengfeng looked down at the wooden Buddhist beads bracelet in his hand, and said, "I don't believe in Lord Buddha."

The little monk was not discouraged, and looked forward to her: "It's just a wish, this bracelet can keep you safe."

Lu Chengfeng smiled, but he didn't make things difficult for him. After paying the money, he randomly picked up a bunch. The little monk bent down and thanked him, "The blessings of the female benefactor are boundless."

Lu Chengfeng smiled dumbly, looked at the bead string in his hand, and after thinking about it, he still put it on his hand.

She didn't know how long Xie Jiuxiao would sleep, and she stayed there for a while before returning to the courtyard. After entering the courtyard, she found Xie Jiuxiao's door was open. Lu Chengfeng thought he had woken up and stepped forward to knock, saying, "Master."

There was no answer in the room.

Lu Chengfeng called out again before stepping into the room. The bed was empty. Lu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes, and his gaze fell sharply on the robe hanging on the side.

Lu Chengfeng lifted his foot and walked out. Before going out, he put Shisan's sword on his shoulders. Looking around the yard, he found that the door was wide open.

There are more than a dozen backyards of Qingshan Temple, lined with trees, and each yard has two front and back doors, because of the terrain, each back door opens to a different view.

Lu Chengfeng walked straight along the mountain road, and found Xie Jiuxiao after fifty or sixty steps.

He was surrounded by seven masked men, his arm seemed to be injured, and he exuded hostility.

Sensing that someone was approaching, the leader of the big man turned around, seeing that it was a woman, he didn't take it too seriously, but Xie Jiuxiao's face darkened when he saw her.

Lu Chengfeng didn't expect that someone would dare to attack Xie Jiuxiao in broad daylight. She was holding the sword, her face was dark, she didn't say anything, but the meaning was conveyed very clearly.

Seeing Lu Chengfeng's appearance, the big man suddenly became ghostly, and immediately sent two people to deal with her after making a gesture.

Lu Chengfeng didn't care, and walked towards Xie Jiuxiao.

"do not move!"

Lu Chengfeng was unmoved.

The big man roared anxiously: "I told you to stay still!"

One after another, the two masked men immediately swung their knives forward, Xie Jiuxiao also raised his hand, and the nine of them mingled together.

These people are very skilled like Lianjiazi, with powerful moves and killer moves, obviously they came here for Xie Jiuxiao's life, the two of them were fighting back to back, Lu Chengfeng looked down at his arm, she was sure Said: "It's a master!"

Xie Jiuxiao looked vigilantly and said, "Try to get out!"

It's a pity that two fists can't beat four hands, not to mention that these seven people came clearly prepared and had weapons in their hands. The two gradually lost the wind and were forced to retreat straight back.

Xie Jiuxiao's eyes were fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "It's not an option to go on like this! These people are tightly entangled, and if they are exhausted, they can only wait to be caught!"

Lu Chengfeng glanced at it, and there was a lake more than ten steps away. The color of the water was the same as that in front of the mountain gate. I wondered if it was the same lake. She looked sideways and asked, "Is there water?"

Xie Jiuxiao nodded.

The two of them understood each other and slowly backed away. One of them suddenly showed a fierce look: "Stop them! They are going to jump into the lake!"

This exclamation brought the hearts of the two together, and a sharp blade was thrown towards Xie Jiuxiao suddenly. Lu Chengfeng dragged the man back, raised his sword to block it, and the sword was against the short crossbow. Xie Jiuxiao pulled the man and jumped , The icy lake instantly engulfed the two of them.

The two struggled to swim to a shore, surrounded by mountains and water, and even the Qingshan Temple was unknown.

Xie Jiuxiao was gasping for breath, blood was oozing from his left arm, and he couldn't help but groan when he touched the wound when he raised his hand to cover it.

Lu Chengfeng leaned over, knelt down in front of him, and said calmly, "Let me see."

Xie Jiuxiao let go of his hand, and Lu Chengfeng approached. The wound was not shallow but luckily it didn't hurt the bone. There was a long gash from the forearm to the shoulder, and blood was oozing out.

Lu Chengfeng frowned, tore off a large piece of cloth from the skirt, and said, "Stop the bleeding first."

Xie Jiuxiao frowned and did not speak, let her wrap the wound up quickly, and after doing this, Lu Chengfeng stood up, twisted the water on his clothes, looked around, and said, "It's getting dark, look for it first." Is there a way out?"
