How did Ding Mengxuan's master and servant get here?
It turned out that in the afternoon yesterday, when the sun was setting, Ding Mengxuan took off his coat and prepared to take a bath as Taoist Master Yuan Zhen said, when suddenly there was a big chaos in front of him.
At this time, Ding Jiwu was assassinated. Of course Ding Mengxuan didn't know what was going on, so he sent the girl Qiyu to go find out what was going on.
As soon as Saitama left, a masked man in black suddenly appeared and rushed towards them with a sharp knife.
Ding Mengxuan and Xiang Luo were immediately frightened. Ding Mengxuan only wore a windbreaker and fled with Xiang Luo.
Behind them were bursts of fighting, the noise of weapons, and the screams... which almost tore their hearts apart.
For a while, the young lady almost became confused. She felt that her eyes were blurred, her mind was blank, and she just ran forward desperately.
His clothes were torn and his hair was disheveled, and he didn't care at all. Later, when they finally calmed down, they realized that they no longer knew where they were.
Lost in this vast barren mountain and wilderness, two weak girls living in a boudoir really don't know what to do. They shivered in a shallow cave all night. Hunger and fear made them almost desperate.
However, their strong desire to survive still made them overcome all hunger and fear, and they bravely walked out of the cave; they did not know how they came to this abandoned hut by such a coincidence.
For the two helpless girls, they really wanted someone to come, but once someone did come, they were extremely afraid. But after they drove people away, they regretted it again.
Xiang Luo said: "Actually, I don't think that person is a bad person! Look at him, his eyes are clear and clear, and his appearance is dignified..."
Ding Mengxuan said: "You can't judge a book by its cover. Sanctimonious hypocrites are scary!"
"Yes, that man is a hypocrite, we ignore him. But what should we do now?" Xiang Luo said: "This is a barren mountain, not to mention we don't know the way. We can't starve to death in this hut. ah!"
Ding Mengxuan said: "Xiangluo, do you think they will come for me?"
"Yes, it's just that the mountains here are high and the forests are dense. I don't know what year or month it will be..."
Ding Mengxuan cried: "Xiangluo, what should we do?"
Xiang Luo said: "Let's do this, miss, you wait here, I'll go out and take a look, maybe I can meet someone who comes to look for us!..."
Ding Mengxuan could only nod.
But when Xiang Luo was about to leave, the lady called out again, "Xian Luo, you left, I'm scared alone..."
Xiang Luo said: "Miss, I'm scared to go out alone!"
Ding Mengxuan choked up and said: "Xiangluo, if you come back and find something happened to me, you must go find the master and the others——"
Xiang Luo also cried: "Miss, if something unexpected happens to me when I go out, you must find another way..."
The master and the servant were crying and unable to separate, as if they were about to part for life or death. Xiangluo gritted his teeth and went out.
Ding Mengxuan grabbed the broken bow in his hand. Because the bow was broken, the forked end was very sharp.
She has made up her mind that if a lecherous person with malicious intentions breaks in, she will kill herself with this broken bow. …
Xiangluo walked out of the door and walked forward aimlessly. Various insects, snakes and beasts came out from time to time, frightening her to the core.
At this time, she truly realized the feeling of helplessness and loneliness. She really hopes to meet someone, but she is extremely afraid of meeting a bad person... Her ambivalence is indescribable.
At this time, she really saw someone.
As soon as she saw him, her original fear and despair were immediately swept away, replaced by ecstasy. Because she believed that man must not be a bad person, because he was a Taoist priest in blue.
Taoist priests and other monks are those who "jump out of the three realms and are not in the five elements." They should be kind-hearted and gentle-faced people who convert to righteousness.
Therefore, Xiangluo was very relieved when he saw that the other party was a monk. She yelled and ran over: "Master, Master!..."
The Taoist priest in green is the soul. He was originally sitting upright and entering a state of selflessness. At this moment, he suddenly heard Xiang Luo's cry, and his heart couldn't help but opened his eyes and stood up suddenly.
Before Xiang Luo came close, he was already exhausted mentally and physically, and fell to the ground with a plop.
The soul hurriedly stepped forward and helped her up.
After a long time, Xiang Luo regained consciousness and said intermittently: "Little master, please go and save our young lady..."
He was startled: "You ladies?..."
Xiang Luo said: "Yes, I am the girl of Ding Mansion. Yesterday afternoon, Miss and I..." She briefly recounted what happened.
Mind's eyes lit up and he said, "Oh, so your lady is still in that cabin now?"
"Yes!" Xiang Luo said, while looking into his mind, and suddenly said: "Little Master, why do you look so familiar to me! You, are you Hai'er?..."
His mind stared at her blankly, silently.
Xiang Luo said: "Why, don't you recognize me? I'm Xiang'er. When I was a kid, I used to play hide-and-seek with you in front of the yard! Do you still remember that time..."
The mind said: "You wall to the east and I wall to the west."
Xiang Luo said: "Yes, but why did you become a Taoist priest again?..." As soon as the words left his mouth, Xiang Luo realized that he had made a mistake and quickly stopped talking.
The soul said coldly: "What's wrong with the Taoist priest? He has always been upright and innocent; he is still a hundred times better than those humble gentlemen who are sanctimonious."
Xiang Luo said with a sneer on her face: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake."
The soul said in a deep voice: "Stop talking, I don't want to mention the past anymore. By the way -"
He changed the topic and said: "Xiang'er, let's get down to business. Your lady is alone in that abandoned small house with no one to take care of her. It must be very dangerous. Please take me to find her quickly!"
Xiang Luo said: "Okay!"
Xiangluo returned to the small room with a turbulent heart and shouted: "Miss, Miss!..."
When Ding Mengxuan heard the commotion, he hurriedly wrapped up his windbreaker and ran out. When he saw Xiang Luo bringing back a Taoist priest in green, he couldn't help but be filled with joy. While crying, he murmured: "The sky has eyes, our master and servant are finally saved!"
Xiang Luo was busy introducing the two of them.
Her soul expression was still somewhat gloomy and she remained silent. However, as a lady of the family, Ding Mengxuan was very polite and polite. He stepped forward and asked politely: "Little Master, which Taoist temple do you practice in?"
The mind said: "Qingyun Temple."
Xiang Luo said happily: "That's great! It seems that Brother Hai'er is still a disciple of Taoist Priest Yuan Zhen. Then we are a family! Brother Hai'er, where should we go now?"
Mind said: "Qingyun Temple. Qingyun Temple is closer to here. After you two have settled down, I will go to your mansion to deliver the letter. What do you think?"
Xiang Luo glanced at Ding Mengxuan, who nodded.
The soul said: "In this case, Miss Xiang'er, please go first."
The two nodded and went out first.
The soul suddenly took a step forward, and with lightning strikes, he touched the two large acupuncture points on Ding Mengxuan's back with his parallel fingers!
Ding Mengxuan didn't even make a sound before he collapsed on the ground.
When Xiangluo saw that the soul suddenly took action to restrain Ding Mengxuan, he couldn't help but turned pale and said in shock: "Haier, you... what are you doing? Are you kidding?..."
The soul said coldly: "I'm not kidding. The first time I let the eldest daughter of the Ding family escape in chaos, I was frustrated; who would have thought that God would give me a second chance."
Xiang Luo was stunned for a moment, then finally woke up and said in a trembling voice: "So, the masked man in black who broke into the Immortal Bathing Pond yesterday with a murder weapon was you?"
The soul said coldly: "Yes."
Xiang Luo said with regret: "Haier, why, why did you do this?"
The mind said: "For revenge."
Xiang Luo said: "Revenge? Who has a grudge against you? Miss? Or me?"
"No. I have no enmity with the Ding family. The people who have a deep hatred against me are the people from the He family."
Xiang Luo said: "Who are they from? I don't understand."
Soul said: "You don't need to understand too much. What you need to do now is to go to Ding Jinzhi or He Yuting and tell them everything that happened here; and then let He Yuting rescue your lady."
"Are you trying to hold them hostage?" Xiang Luo said through gritted teeth, "How could I have misjudged you just now..."
The mind does not speak. He carried Ding Mengxuan back into the original hut and covered it with thatch.
Then he went out and said to Xiang Luo expressionlessly: "I'll take you back, and you go tell Ding Jinzhi that He Yuting must come in person, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"
Xiang Luo's regret and annoyance at this time are simply indescribable. She really never dreamed that Haier, who seemed to be a loyal, honest, good-hearted Taoist priest and her childhood playmate, turned out to be a robber who kidnapped and killed someone! Things are so unpredictable...
She staggered out of the small room under the hostage of her soul, and was suddenly stunned.
In front of the house, a young man in white clothes was standing there. He was looking at everything happening in front of him with cold eyes.
The two recognized him immediately, and the expressions on their faces changed subtly. They were all confused and guessing, wondering what the appearance of this uninvited guest in front of them would mean.
In doubt, the soul spoke first: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
It turns out that this young man in white is Ling Yun.
Ling Yun said: "I don't want to do anything, I'm just curious: What is the deep grudge between you and the He family and the Ding family that makes you take such great pains to use such shady means to hold hostages and threaten each other?"
The soul snorted coldly and remained silent.
Ling Yun said: "And now I finally understand why you stayed at that eight-way intersection just now; it turns out that you are not practicing, but waiting for someone - waiting for these two girls to throw themselves into the trap."
Mind alerted: "Are you from the government?"
Ling Yun smiled slightly and said nothing.
Soul glanced at Ling Yun again, secretly amazed in her heart. Ever since he failed to kidnap Miss Ding for the first time, he has been extremely unwilling to do so; however, searching for someone in this barren mountain is no different than finding a needle in a haystack.
Since he was very familiar with the geographical conditions here, he chose the place at the Eight-Cha Intersection to wait and see, staying the same in the face of changes.
Because all roads leading to various places will intersect here. At this traffic thoroughfare, he believed that he would be able to wait for the person he was waiting for.
At this time, his mind calmed down and he said coldly: "If you are not, I advise you to mind your own business."
Ling Yun said: "Even if I am not, I still have to mind this business. Because I really can't stand this kind of behavior of bullying the weak."
The mind said angrily: "How unreasonable!"
Ling Yun said: "It makes no sense that it should be you!"
His mind could no longer hold back his anger. When he reached for his hand, he found that the soft blade from his waist had been pulled out, and with a flick of the brush, he stabbed straight at him.
Shan Luo screamed in fear.
Ling Yun smiled softly and turned back to block with the hilt of his sword. When the two of them were circling, Ling Yun's long sword had already taken advantage of the momentum and bounced out. It was as powerful as thunder and forced him to step back.
Soul's expression changed. With every move he made, he could sense the opponent's outstanding martial arts. His attainments were far above his own. It seemed that it would be extremely difficult for him to win in terms of martial arts.
So he changed his moves and used the "shifting spirit and shadow" that he had practiced in Qingyun Temple for ten years. With a twist of his body, he had transformed himself into dozens of people in an instant, making people dazzled and confused.
Ling Yun reacted quickly and suddenly made a move, making the sky full of stars. In an instant, his mind felt like countless sword points were flashing in front of his eyes, coming towards his face, making him dizzy and flustered.
He had no choice but to turn aside, and the clinker hit the tip of the sword!
There was a heartbreaking pain in his right rib, and he screamed miserably, fell back a few steps, and covered the wound with his hand; but blood surged like a spring, immediately turning his palms red and seeping out along the seams of his hands.
Xiang Luo was so frightened that her face turned pale and her whole body was trembling.
Ling Yun put away his sword and stepped forward: "I'm sorry, I didn't want to hurt you, but you forced me. Now, it's time for you to answer my question!"
Before he finished speaking, a pungent mist suddenly rushed towards him. Ling Yun felt dizzy in front of his eyes and hurriedly stepped back.
At this moment, a masked man in white appeared tremblingly, picked up his soul and spun away...
When the clouds of sorrow and mist cleared, the masked man and his soul had long since disappeared without a trace. Seeing the murderer escape so easily, Ling Yun felt a little regretful, but there was nothing he could do.
He calmed down and thought, then turned back to the hut to save Miss Ding.
But when he uncovered the thatch, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. After some struggle just now, Ding Mengxuan's clothes became even more torn, and his icy muscles and jade bones were faintly visible.
He suppressed his rapidly beating heart and placed a trembling hand on the two large acupuncture points on her back, releasing her acupuncture points; then he spun around and rushed out of the hut as if he was running away.
No matter how upright and honorable you are, who wouldn’t blush and feel their heart beat when seeing such an eye-catching situation? Unless you are a saint or a fool.
Seeing Ling Yun come out, Xiang Luo hurriedly ran back to the house and saw that Ding Mengxuan had already sat up.
Her face was dripping with sweat, her dimples were red, and her eyes were staring straight ahead, just in a daze; it wasn't until Xiang Luo called "Miss" that she came back to her senses.
Xiangluo saw that the lady's clothes were torn, which was really indecent, so he took off his outer clothes and handed them to her.
The two hesitated for a long time before slowly walking out of the room.
Ling Yun was standing outside. Seeing the two of them standing timidly at the door, lowering their heads and saying nothing, he asked: "May I ask which family you are from? I will send you back right away!"
Xiang Luo whispered: "We are from Lord Ding's house, and this is our lady."
Ling Yun let out a sigh and looked at the two of them again, quite surprised.
It turned out that he had not gone far after being driven away by Miss Ding's master and servant and leaving the hut.
He met two women in distress in the wilderness, partly out of curiosity; partly because of his old-fashioned enthusiasm, he couldn't trust them, so he stayed and watched the development of the situation in the dark. The scenes of Xiang Luo going out, bringing her soul back, and finally the soul committing murder are all clearly visible.
Ling Yun pondered for a moment and said, "Well, I'll send you to the Immortal Bathing Pond first."
Ding Mengxuan was stunned and said: "Bath in the Immortal Pond? How...how did you know?"
Ling Yun smiled and said: "Of course, yesterday I went to Lingshan with my younger brother Ding Jiying."
Ding Mengxuan was even more surprised, "Oh?... May I ask your surname?"
"I'm Ling Yun."
Ding Mengxuan and Xiang Luo both exclaimed in surprise.
Ding Mengxuan said with surprise and joy: "It turns out that you are the famous Commander Ling of the Shangshu Palace of the Ministry of Punishment! How disrespectful."
Ling Yun smiled and said: "Now you should believe that I am not a bad person!"
Ding Mengxuan blushed and lowered his head.
