Pushing the Three Thousand Worlds

Chapter 39
At the foot of the mountain, there is a ruined temple.

Li Qiu turned his horse's head, got off the main road, and followed the path towards the ruined temple.

When I approached, I found that it was a mountain temple, which was extremely dilapidated and no one cared about it for a long time.

The plaque fell crookedly, the courtyard wall collapsed, one of the two courtyard doors was missing, and the other was only half-remained. The vermilion was peeling off and was dilapidated.

Li Qiu dismounted and led the horse into the courtyard.

The weeds are overgrown but they are all withered and yellow, the trunks of the old trees are bent, and there are only a few leaves left on the bare branches. The scene is a bit bleak.

The door of the house was closed tightly, the windows were full of leaks, and the cool wind blew wantonly through the holes.

Li Qiu opened the door, the dust covered the floor, the room was full of cobwebs, it was dilapidated and old.

But it is still spacious, only a broken statue and a dilapidated altar occupy the place.

The temple had been abandoned long ago, so he didn't hesitate to lead Longqueju directly into the house.

When it rains for a while, it's not good for him to hide from the rain inside and let the dragon sparrow go out in the rain, anyway, there is enough space.

Clean the altar at will, and prepare that if it rains overnight, he will spend the night on it, which is not long enough but better than the cold ground.

Looking at the statue, Li Qiu suddenly remembered the origin of Da Kai Bei Shou's martial arts.

It's hard to say whether Zhao Quan is unfortunate or lucky.

It is said that he is unlucky, but when he was young, he discovered the martial arts of Dakai Beishou in a ruined temple statue, which is simply unlucky.

He is said to be lucky, obviously he is extremely talented, but his fortune is not good the day after tomorrow, so that he stops at the fifth level, has no hope of the sixth level, and regrets for life.

Thinking of this, Li Qiu walked behind the statue.

He wanted to see if he was as lucky as Zhao Quan, who could pick up a martial art from the statue.

After turning to the statue, I searched it carefully, but found nothing, and even got a handful of ashes.

Suddenly, Li Qiu heard the hurried footsteps of two people.

One light and one heavy, it seems that a man and a woman, with steady and powerful steps, should have practiced martial arts.

Frowning, he clapped his hands and walked out from behind the statue, just in time to see a man and a woman walking into the house carrying a burden and holding a sword.

The male has a gentle temperament, while the female has a beautiful face, but there is a bit of arrogance and savagery between her brows, as if she came from a wealthy family.

A rich family may not necessarily raise such a person, but a poor family may not be able to raise such a person.

In terms of appearance, they are a pair of Bi people, but in terms of temperament and demeanor, they are a bit mismatched.

The two looked surprised when they saw Li Qiu, as if they didn't expect that there would be someone in the ruined temple, they instinctively touched the sword in their hands.

The man just put his hand on the hilt of the sword and didn't move any more. The woman directly pulled out a small half of the sword in her hand.

Li Qiu didn't show anything on his face, but a look of coldness flashed in his eyes, and his muscles tensed up, ready to make a move at any time.

The man sized Li Qiu up, moved his hand away from the hilt, and waved to the woman, signaling her to put away the sword.

"Brother, this is Su Liuquan. This is my sister-in-law Su Yuanyuan. If you are rude, please look at Haihan."

"Going out, be careful in everything, it's a last resort, I hope you don't take it to heart."

"It's going to rain heavily. My brother and sister wanted to take shelter from the rain in this ruined temple that we glimpsed by chance, but we didn't expect our brother to arrive first."

"Originally, this ruined temple should be handed over to Xiongtai, but the heavy rain is coming to the wilderness, and it is difficult for us to find a second place to hide from the rain."

"I hope you will be more considerate. I wonder if we can use the left and right as the boundary to divide this small temple equally, and each of us can hide from the rain."

Su Liuquan cupped his sword and said.

Li Qiu saw his words and deeds, he was more like a scholar than a warrior.

"Brother, why are you talking so much to him? This small temple doesn't belong to his family. Does it matter if we can take shelter from the rain here or not?"

Su Yuanyuan was a little impatient, pulled Su Liuquan's sleeve and said.

"Yuanyuan, don't be rude!" Su Liuquan frowned, turned his head and scolded in a low voice.

Li Qiu looked at the two of them.

Su Yuanyuan's arrogance and disdain when he was mentioned made him very disliked, even disgusted.

One could tell at a glance that she was a young lady who had never been out of the house, and she was used to being unruly and self-willed at home.

But aside from the disgust in his heart, he was more inclined to Su Yuanyuan's view.

He didn't build the temple, and he didn't need his consent to hide if he wanted to, so why waste so much talk.

If you say no, would you turn around and leave at the risk of getting caught in the rain? That would be too pedantic.

"If you want to hide, just hide."

Li Qiu replied indifferently, led the dragon sparrow horse, and pulled the altar, to the left side of the room.

"Thank you, brother."

Regardless of Li Qiuli's ignorance, Su Liuquan still thanked Li Qiuli.

Seeing the altar table being taken away, Su Yuanyuan didn't say anything.

If the altar was still dirty, she would definitely open her mouth to reason about why the altar should be given up to him.

But the altar had been packed ahead of time, so she wasn't unreasonable.

On the right side of the room, Su Liuquan roughly tidied up, picked out a few clean stone bricks outside, and built them into low seats.

After sitting for a while, the two started arguing again.

Su Yuanyuan wanted to be like Li Qiu and lead the horse into the house.

But Su Liuquan felt that something was inappropriate. Although the temple was a bit dilapidated, it was still a place for worshiping gods.

Su Yuanyuan immediately took Li Qiu as an example, saying that Li Qiu also led the horse into the temple.

Su Liuquan was a little annoyed, saying that it was an outsider and I couldn't control it. You are my sister and I can't let you do this.

The horse was not brought into the house in the end, and the two made it very unpleasant, each sulking, and no one talked to the other.

Li Qiu listened to it and found it funny.

Of these two people, one is unruly and willful, the other is pedantic and old-fashioned, even though they are brother and sister, how could they not know each other's personality, and they still travel together together, this is not making themselves feel uncomfortable.

It was forced by the situation and had to be like this.

Li Qiu's brows gradually knit together, with a suspicious expression on his face.

He suddenly remembered the reaction of the two of them when they saw him, it was more nervous than vigilant.

That feeling is like being hunted down, or being hunted down, and suddenly bumping into someone unexpectedly, like a frightened bird instinctively drawing a sword.

But when I think about it carefully, something is wrong, and the other behaviors of the two of them don't look like they are being chased or hunted down.

No one is being chased or hunted down, and there is still time to go to the temple to hide from the rain, especially if there are emotional quarrels.

Could it be that the two ran away from home together and were being chased by their family members, knowing that they would not hurt themselves if they caught up, so they had nothing to fear.

It seems that it is not impossible to draw the sword with the family members, and it may not be chased by parents, but it may also be servants.

If this is the case, the identities of the two should be unusual. After all, not every servant has practiced martial arts and can subdue them and bring them back.

Or maybe the two were indeed hunted down, but the people who hunted them down didn't know their whereabouts, so they definitely wouldn't catch up for the time being, that's why they were so calm.

For a while, Li Qiu made various conjectures...
