() In the blink of an eye, it has been several days since Ling Muyun entered the palace to meet Mao Dongzhu. After coming out of the palace, Ling Muyun didn't stay in the capital for long. He took Lu Gaoxuan in and out of Beijing city, and went straight to Mount Wutai in Shanxi.Of the eight volumes with 42 chapters, those in the hands of the nobles of the Qing Dynasty naturally had Mao Dongzhu, the fake queen mother, figure out a way, and the remaining two books had to be figured out by himself.And he went to Mount Wutai this time to get the 42-chapter scripture of Zhenghuangqi from the hands of Emperor Shunzhi who had become a monk.

Originally Ling Muyun wanted to come by himself, but Lu Gaoxuan insisted on accompanying him. Ling Muyun thought it would be nice to have someone to talk to on the way, so he asked Lu Gaoxuan to follow.Because things were not in a hurry, Ling Muyun and Lu Gaoxuan didn't rush on the road, they just walked trustingly, eating in restaurants and staying in inns, they traveled for two days, but they still hadn't left the border of Zhili.

This day, while Ling Muyun and Lu Gaoxuan were on their way, suddenly a gust of northeast wind blew by, and raindrops like soybeans fell from midair.Lu Gaoxuan looked up, and saw clusters of dark clouds drifting from afar, so he asked Ling Muyun for instructions: "Young master, I'm afraid the rain is heavy, do you think we should find a place to hide from the rain?"

For the convenience of walking outside, Ling Muyun had made an agreement with Lu Gaoxuan in advance to let Lu Gaoxuan call him Young Master instead of calling him Young Master or Young Master, so as not to be noticed by outsiders.

Ling Muyun nodded: "Okay."

The two of them headed west along the avenue, looking for shelter from the rain along the way.The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was not even a house or a pavilion along the way. After a while, Ling Muyun and Lu Gaoxuan were both soaked by the rain. Ling Muyun smiled and said to Lu Gaoxuan: "Mr. Lu, Now we can walk slowly, we are already drowned anyway, so there is no rush."

Lu Gaoxuan said with shame on his face: "It's all due to my subordinates not being careful and not preparing rain gear in advance, which caused the young master to get caught in the rain."

"Mr. Lu, you don't need to blame yourself so much. You don't think carefully, didn't I think of it? Our two bosses, not to mention the second, are almost the same, so let's stop here and don't mention it again."

Lu Gaoxuan saw that Ling Muyun was considerate of his subordinates, and a look of gratitude flashed in his eyes, so he didn't say anything more.

The two rode their horses for a while, and when they heard the sound of water, they came to a river. In the rain, there was a hut within a few miles upstream of the river.Ling Muyun and Lu Gaoxuan were overjoyed, and hurriedly urged their horses to go up the river. Although Ling Muyun was already drowned, he was not in a hurry to speak for a while, but they were just words of self-comfort out of helplessness. Who would be foolish enough to stay in the rain?

When he got close, Ling Muyun entered twice and then he saw clearly that the hut turned out to be a dilapidated temple. The whole temple was crumbling and in disrepair. Not only the doors and windows were rotten, but even the roof was leaking. half of.But it was still a shelter from the rain, although it was dilapidated, it was better than nothing, so the two men tied their horses at the entrance of the temple and walked into the temple.After entering the temple, a bad smell suddenly rushed over, which was quite unpleasant, but under the heavy rain, Ling Muyun and Lu Gaoxuan couldn't be picky, so they had to bite the bullet and go into the temple to hide from the rain.

Water leaked everywhere in the dilapidated temple, very few places, dirty and moldy, extremely difficult to deal with, Lu Gaoxuan grabbed some broken tables and chairs from the temple, chopped them up with his bare hands, and found a dry place to grow a small pile The bonfire came, and with the bonfire to keep warm, the situation was much better.

Seeing Lu Gaoxuan splitting tables and chairs with his bare hands, as easily as picking up flowers and picking willows, Ling Muyun couldn't help secretly praising him, despite Lu Gaoxuan's bookish look, his skill is really unambiguous. He is also sharp and introverted, unlike those masters in other Shenlongjiao who are so fierce and exposed, which is really rare.

Ling Muyun and Lu Gaoxuan sat by the fire, took off their soaked clothes, roasted them by the campfire, and put them back on.Seeing that the sky outside the temple was getting darker and darker, the rain was getting heavier, and it seemed that it would not stop for a while, so Lu Gaoxuan took out a thousand-grain noodle cake from the package and shared it with Ling Muyun.Although Ling Muyun, who was used to delicious food, was a little bit reluctant to face the thousands of noodles, but he also knew that everything should be kept simple when he was away from home, so he had to reluctantly deal with it.

Unknowingly, the sky gradually darkened. This time it was not because of the darkness caused by the gathering of dark clouds, but because it was really late, so it became dark. Although there is no clock to keep time, it seems that it should have arrived at You hour It seemed that the rain outside still had no tendency to decrease in the slightest. If there were no accidents, the two of them would probably spend the night in this ruined temple.

Just when Ling Muyun and Lu Gaoxuan were sleeping in the temple sheltering from the rain and warming themselves by the fire, they suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes approaching from a distance.Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of people shouting and neighing outside the temple. Obviously, these people also stopped outside the temple.Then an honest and honest voice sounded: "Gentlemen, I'm talking about this small temple. Although it's a bit dilapidated, it's barely enough to take shelter from the rain. You see, there are still horses tied in front of this gate. I hid from the rain here."

Another voice said: "It's just such a ruined temple? It almost collapsed. Can this **** shelter from the rain?"

"Isn't it? You can still stay in this ruined temple? What kind of broken roads are you bringing? There is no decent place? Do you still want to reward money?" Then several voices echoed. , were obviously very dissatisfied with the person who led the way who spoke first.

An old but sharp voice suddenly sounded: "Okay, when you're away from home, how can you be so particular? It's good to have a temporary shelter from the wind and rain. Go in."

Obviously the master of this old voice was very dignified in this group of people. When he said this, the other people immediately fell silent, got off their horses and fastened their horses, and walked towards the temple with noisy footsteps.Immediately after the sound of "click", the rotten temple door was kicked down, and a group of people walked in.

Ling Muyun raised his eyes and saw a dozen or so people coming in, all of them tall and burly with swords around their waists, with the exception of two people, one was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing coarse clothes, with a serious expression on his face. To be honest, it looks like a nearby mountain dweller.The other is an old man in his 70s or [-]s, with gray hair, wearing a melon skin hat, a beardless face, without even a wrinkle on his face, and a pair of old eyes that are not only not dim, but also faintly gleam when they turn.

As soon as these people entered the door, Ling Muyun's heart trembled. Although these people were all dressed in casual clothes, they all showed a hint of official temperament in their demeanor. The knives worn by the dozen or so big men were Jing is exactly the same style as the imperial guard's saber, most likely it is the imperial guard.

It's okay if it's just these dozen or so big guys. Although it's not difficult to see that these big guys are all equipped with martial arts, but based on his observation, at best, they are at the level of Mao Shiba. between things.What really made Ling Muyun afraid was the old man at the head, he felt a slight pressure on this old man, obviously this old man is a real top expert!

Ling Muyun's eyes were deep, and his thoughts were racing: "How could such a group of people come across such a rainy barren mountain? What are they going to do? And that old guy, when did such a person appear in the Qing court?" Great master?"

While Ling Muyun was observing these people, these people also saw Ling Muyun and Lu Gaoxuan in the temple, but they just glanced at them and didn't care. Although Ling Muyun also had a long sword on his waist, his appearance was really It's too confusing, at the age of seventeen or eighteen years old, he was born so handsome, he looks like a son of a rich family, although he is armed with a weapon, he is probably just a good-looking guy, what real skills can he have?As for Lu Gaoxuan, he was bookish, like a teacher, so he was naturally excluded from the threat range.

Because the dilapidated temple is really dilapidated, there are many leaks, and there are not many dry places to live in. A big man with a knife walked straight towards Ling Muyun and Lu Gaoxuan who were beside the fire, stopped in front of them, and took his chin Pointing at Ling Muyun and Lu Gaoxuan: "You two step aside, we want this piece of land."

Ling Muyun laughed immediately, clasped his ears, and asked with a slanted face: "What did you say? Can you say it again?"

The big man snorted and said, "Boy, are you deaf? I'll let you go, sir. We want this land."

Ling Muyun withdrew his smile, turned his head and said to Lu Gaoxuan who was at the side: "Old Lu, if you said you stayed well, suddenly a mangy dog ​​came out of nowhere and barked at you, what should you do?"

Lu Gaoxuan said: "Then we have to spend some time to get rid of it."

"But the problem is, young master, I'm afraid that beating this mangy dog ​​will make my hands and feet dirty, so what should I do?"

"That's easy to handle, just let the subordinates help the young master get rid of it."

Lu Gaoxuan said something, sitting still, one hand suddenly stuck out, and before the big man with the knife understood what was going on, he asked Lu Gaoxuan to grab his wrist, retracted his arms and pulled, the big man immediately followed suit. With his strength, he leaned forward and bent down, and then Lu Gaoxuan let go of the big man's arm, and slapped the big man's shoulder with a palm, and there was a "click", and the big man flew out screaming .

"Choking" "choking" there was a sound of drawing swords, the big men with swords saw that their companions were suffering, they pulled out their weapons one after another, and surrounded Ling Muyun and Lu Gaoxuan.

"Where did the thief come from, how dare you do something to the men!"

"It must be a Jiangyang thief on the run, let's take it down!"

... Ling Muyun said: "Old Lu, I will leave all these miscellaneous fish to you."

"Don't worry, young master, this subordinate will never let these miscellaneous fish spoil your mood." As he spoke, Lu Gaoxuan bounced off the ground like a fox, and rushed into the crowd like lightning.
