"A quick word from Ming, I actually didn't bring much money with me when I came on this trip. It's enough to drink wine, but it's not enough to get the information that the old man has tens of thousands of dollars. It would be rude to come here abruptly. But seeing the chaos at the border, we had to be more prepared."
Wen Yu smiled, put the bamboo hat on his knees to block the flying snow, and his tone was still so calm.
The old man also smiled sadly, brushing off the iron hook on his hand and patting off the dust and rust on his hand, "Then why are you here? You know the rules and you haven't brought enough money. Could you be sincerely teasing me? A lost dog who was knocked down from the Immortal Path. His appearance and bones may be worth two bowls of drinks in the eyes of others, but in my opinion, he is not worth even half a copper coin."
The wind and snow are getting worse.
The old man's body was covered with flying snow, and his hair was scattered. However, the hair of the woman sitting opposite him did not move, and the flying snow never fell on his body.
At first the old man didn't care. After sixteen or seven breaths, his expression changed slightly. He frowned as he looked at the snow water evaporating under the woman's feet in an instant.
"Array Master?"
"You can't even talk about being a formation master. You've only been introduced to it for more than a year." Wen Yu raised the corners of his mouth and straightened out his bent fingers, so that the wind and snow fell on his shoulders and bamboo hat as before.
"What a blessing, what a talent." The old man looked sad for a while and sighed twice in succession.
"I came here this time to find a temple. There was an old monk who was an old friend of my ancestors. He used the Buddhist treasures in the temple to help him fight off the enemy. Now that the news about the Buddha treasures has been leaked, it has caused a lot of chaos, so I came here specially. We need more help here," Wen Yu spoke slowly, with snowflakes falling on his forehead, ignoring it, "According to my speculation, the person who smashed the senior's path to immortality in the past will probably come here this time, and the forces from all directions will come here. For example, the movement of clouds is extremely dangerous.”
"Perhaps I can help senior to avenge this great revenge."
After Wen Yu finished speaking, he looked at the old man opposite and said nothing.
"May I ask, young hero, where are you now?" After pondering for a moment, the old man said with a half-smile.
"Second realm."
The old man laughed strangely twice, and then he burst out laughing. The laughter spread far and wide, causing snow and dust to fall from the surrounding houses. He finally stopped laughing and pointed to Wen Yu: "Did you know that I have been raped by someone?" When you break the path of spiritual practice, where do you stand? Now many years have passed, and with that talent's talent, he has never broken into the fourth realm, and it is difficult to find an opponent within the three realms. Just because you are a girl in the second realm, you want to take his place. My hatred is nothing more than idiotic talk."
Wen Yu did not open his mouth to refute, but calmly looked at the old man in front of him, laughing so hard that he laughed for dozens of breaths, just like looking at a wild dog barking happily on the roadside for a long time before speaking.
"Senior, at my age, can you compete with me?"
The old man's laughter stopped suddenly.
"In a few years, there will be one more formation master in the world who is at the top of the three realms. By that time, even if he encounters the ordinary four realms, he will probably have the ability to compete. According to the mentality of the seniors, I should know that I What I said is not adulterated. Besides, since the master is willing to accept me as a disciple, I think that coming to the three realms is not a bottleneck, and it will not stop here."
The old man did not laugh this time, but calmed his expression, his brows relaxed and wrinkled at times, and he stretched out his hand to gently caress the long and narrow old scar on his face.
When Wen Yu returned to the tavern, Wen Yu got four pieces of news. It took him two or three days to find out the origin of this seemingly ordinary tavern owner.
In the past ten days, more than a dozen monks in rather strange clothes have walked out of this border pass. It seems that even if they are walking, they have already gone deep outside the pass, and they are probably going for the Seven Wonders of Buddhism. But as for No one knows its origins, but the old man's spy has vaguely heard of the word "Buqiu Temple" before and now, and he thinks he went out from this temple.
Secondly, there has always been unrest outside Qiling Pass. If there was not an abbot who seemed to have transcended Tayao to guard the ancient bell tower temple, I am afraid that the monks and disciples in the temple would have died hundreds of times. The bandits escaping from Qiling Pass also pointed directly at the Seven Mysteries of Buddhism. Instead of living here by robbing, it might as well be said that they have been searching for Buddhist treasures here all year round. Unfortunately, they have been searching for many years, but to no avail. It is generally guessed that the location of the Buddha treasure should be hidden in Zhongtai Temple.
As for the third piece of news, the old man drove the waiter out of the courtyard and asked Wen Yu to set up a formation to cover him up. Then he spoke: There are at least six or seven advanced practitioners behind the group of horse thieves who have been running around outside the pass all year round. The unlucky ones have also entered the third realm. For many years, they have been acting cautiously for fear of being exposed, and they are not willing to have a serious dispute with the old monk Fu Kong who has participated in creation. However, it seems that he can't bear the temper recently and sees the birth of the Buddha. , so they took advantage of the time when the man with hundreds of guns in his car tent was out of seclusion to cause trouble. According to the old man's guess, the man's current situation is probably in a precarious situation. Even if the old man's eyesight reveals that the man's marksmanship is quite good and he has the guidance of a famous expert, he has already suffered a lot.
It's like an abandoned son thrust into the belly of a black dragon. Although he looks brave and fierce, he is already at the end of his strength and cannot continue.
Normally, a thousand taels of silver could only be exchanged for these three pieces of news. It turned out that the matter was very big and the stakes were very high, but Wen Yu did not offer half a copper coin this time. Apart from these three pieces of news, before leaving, the old man He also gave the girl a piece of news, which was that the man who had abolished his cultivation was now not far from the four realms, and had already set out to seize the Buddha's treasure many years ago, and his master's background Very big, when I was fighting with the old man, I used the heaven-reaching object given by my master to defeat the old man's method, and used the heaven-reaching object hundreds of miles away to destroy the latter's cultivation. It was so dangerous that I could save my life.
It was a rare occasion for him to drink. Wen Yu called the waiter again, added three bowls of soju, moved his chopsticks slightly to eat some side dishes, and then sat alone in the corner of the tavern with a cold look on his face and a look of worry in his eyes.
On this trip to the outside of Qiling Pass, Master Liu Qing's original intention was to gain some knowledge and avoid the limelight to prevent Wu Jue from going to the mountains to cause trouble. Therefore, he entrusted the woodcutter and Yan Jiaqing to guard the mountains to avoid further damage to the foundation. They protected Wu Shuang, who had not yet left seclusion, but now it seemed that this trip was not as easy as originally thought. From these four pieces of news, it can be seen that outside Qiling Pass, apart from the Buddhist disputes, there are still six great masters who have reached the third realm and have a solid foundation. There are groups of thieves and bandits. Even the old monk has a super realm. Chen, with his own strength, it is probably difficult to resist the Buddhists from other temples and several masters.
What's more, the forces of the eight families in Nanli currently deployed around the Yizhang border have not yet been eradicated. In the past few days, the news that Yun Zhong used his sword energy to cut off the head of the Feng family's young master has been 90% reported back to the Feng family in Nanli. , Shujiao Pass is dangerous, and there are soldiers and camps, but if you go from Nanli to Xiasong and go straight to the outside of Qiling Pass, it doesn’t take much effort. It can be said that clouds are moving in all directions, and they all gather in a small area outside the pass. A master from the Feng family is about to arrive, and there are several forces entangled in front of them, making it impossible to avoid them.
If both of them were established in the third realm, there would be no need to worry so much now. Unfortunately, it is hard to say that they are safe in just the second realm.
The girl's face was filled with coldness.
"What is the heroine who is worried about? You might as well talk to us about it. Drinking wine to drown your sorrows is not as good as me and a few people holding candles and talking at night. I think it is the best way to relieve your worries." Finally, there were two or three brave men who took advantage of their drunkenness. He took two steps forward and flirted with the girl sitting firmly in the corner. Her face was full of smiles, but no one dared to come closer.
On the girl's desk was a long knife with a very cold-looking handle.
But even so, the girl did not speak. She raised her hand to call the waiter, asked for two bowls of clear porridge and several plates of light vegetables, then picked up a long knife and hung it on her waist, and left slowly.
It is strange to say that Wen Yu stepped out of the tavern, and the slanderous charlatans just behind him found it difficult to open his mouth. Even if he spent all his strength and used both hands, it was difficult to open his mouth and tongue. It was strangely painful. Heavy.
When Yun Zhong first woke up, Wen Yu just tied up the reins and put the food box on hand and the decoction purchased from the doctor's office on the table. Seeing the young man wake up, he didn't look happy at all, but looked at him with a look of sullenness. He took a look, and then went to make some medicine on his own, but he didn't stay long at all.
Perhaps it was due to the galloping of horses at Shujiao Pass, or in the past few days, the battle between swords and pills in Dantian became more and more indistinguishable. When he arrived outside Qiling Pass, Yunzhong was caught by the wind and cold, and his forehead was burning, so he had no choice but to turn around. Go to Qiling Pass and find a hotel to stay in, and then make plans after you have recovered properly.
Counting today, Yun Zhong had not eaten a grain of rice for two or three days, and the Lingtai was in a state of chaos. Fortunately, he drank some hot tea and sweated a little last night, which slightly relieved the wind-cold illness. He managed to sit up, but still felt light-headed and light-headed.
"The decoction needs to be boiled later," Wen Yu left and came back again. He looked at Yun Zhong's face and suddenly felt a little annoyed. He raised his hand and picked up the right ear of the young man who was still ill. He was extremely angry. He smiled and said, "If I had known that my junior uncle had to encounter so many illnesses earlier, I would not have gone with him. But now I am boiling medicine all day long. I am already familiar with the method of boiling medicine. I am afraid that I will not succeed in practicing in the future." You can barely make a living by opening a medicine shop in the middle of a bustling market."
The young man had no choice but to let it go, wrinkling his face with a wry smile, "If Miss Wen is really angry, she will pluck out both ears, so as not to let people see the one-eared thing in the future, or treat it as a punishment for committing some crime when she was young. Don’t twist it too tightly.”
The girl plucked Yun Zhong's earlobe two or three times, which relieved a lot of her anger. She returned to the futon in front of the table, took out the warm porridge and handed it to the young man.
"It seems that my master has indeed misjudged the depth of this mountain stream here. In addition to the Feng family, there are still three or four forces involved in it, including six masters of the third and fourth realms, thousands of riding bandits, and hidden troops elsewhere. It is not easy for Zhongtai Ancient Temple to deal with the visitors who have visited the temple for many years." Wen Yu shook his head and sighed, "It is a pity that my uncle and I have not yet entered the third realm."
"How can you repay a favor in times of need with the icing on the cake?"
The young man on the bed looked up from the bowl of porridge and smiled, as if he was not surprised.
