The topic is divided into two parts. Let’s not talk about how Xiao Wuji escapes for the moment. Let’s look at Shuanghe first.
After Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai dealt with the three stalking men, they did not keep the three knives they snatched, but they took away the three sets of clothes they took off.
Although the two of them have not planned any particularly detailed conspiracy against the Fire Lotus Sect at this time, their cunning nature has told them that this outfit is definitely useful.
Out of caution, the two of them did not go to the inn to stay overnight, because they felt that after what happened at the city gate, if they continued activities in crowded public places, they would probably be locked up again.
So, the two of them took the small road and turned around, heading towards the place with few people.
They walked like this, stopping and going, for nearly an hour. Around midnight, they finally arrived at a ruined temple in the west of the city.
Seeing this, many friends who have endured it for a long time may want to ask: Why are there so many ruined temples in your book... or in other words, why are there so many ruined temples in all the storytelling and stories?
Let me explain it a little bit here.
First of all, the term "temple" is actually inaccurate.
A temple is a temple, and a temple is a temple.
Temple means "holding", governance, and official residence; in ancient times, it generally refers to the administrative agencies or official positions of government offices, such as Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple... The word "temple", The meaning is relatively close to "si", "yuan" and "supervisor", and has nothing to do with "temple".
And temples are the places where feudal superstitions are practiced, such as Dragon King Temple, Guandi Temple, Earth Temple, Mountain Temple... offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, worshiping ghosts and gods.
But later, when Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains, these two concepts were gradually confused.
Ordinarily, the scale of the "temple" is much larger than that of the "temple", but I think everyone has heard Du Fanchuan's saying - "There are four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties, and there are so many towers in the mist."
During the years when Buddhism flourished, temples sprung up all over China. After years of development and evolution, some temples became very small in later years, no different from temples.
Let’s just talk about the ones that everyone is familiar with, Lanruo Temple, right? Wulongyuan, right? Pansi...oh that's not it...that's what it means anyway.
Many "small temples" could no longer operate due to various reasons, so they were abandoned and abandoned, and the government could not control them, so they became the "unmanned temples" that we often see in film and television works and books.
This kind of temple is generally located in remote areas, mostly in the mountains, and occasionally in the suburbs or within the city, but most of them are occupied by beggars. After all, they are just a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
The ruined temple that Sun and Huang came to today is located in a relatively remote place in the west of the city.
Now, as soon as the two of them entered the temple gate, they knew that this place must also be a beggar's den.
Why?
It stinks!
Do you think, can the place where a beggar live not stink?
These beggars themselves have no personal hygiene at all. Some of them only go to the river to take a bath every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. If it is winter, they may not take a bath for two consecutive months.
As for the broken straw mats and straw they usually slept on, even if you said they were fished out of a manure pit, some people would believe it.
Of course, there is also an advantage to living in this kind of environment, that is, you will not be harassed by the Fire Lotus Sect; if people from the Fire Lotus Sect dare to come here, it is not certain who will pay whom when they leave.
Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai were not pampered people, and they didn't care about the smell. After entering the temple, they quickly searched around. After confirming that no one was there, they quickly put down their luggage and began to change clothes.
What? You ask where are all the beggars going now?
Isn't this nonsense? They don't go out to work in broad daylight, but stay in the temple to drink from the northwest wind?
Some people may want to say again, isn't using the word "work" to describe the work of these people a bit too flattering?
Then I'm going to say a few unpleasant things.
You have been studying for more than ten years. When you went out to find a class, did you hear HR tell you that "there is no cap on salary, it depends on your personal ability", "flexible working hours", "work is full of challenges", "room for growth" Lines like "Big", "I hope you are optimistic and positive and brave enough to take challenges"?
Don't you see that the job of a beggar fits these descriptions?
Didn’t you realize that you were also kneeling down to beg for food at work?
You don't need to be interviewed when you are begging for food on your knees. You have to go back and wait for three to five working days to see if the rich man will let you kneel down.
Forget about you, don’t the above points also apply to us writers?
It’s just that beggars make money by selling their dignity to gain sympathy, and we who write books make money by selling our talents for people’s entertainment.
Make money, not shabby.
Let's get back to the topic, while I'm talking nonsense to you, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai have already changed their clothes.
The three Fire Lotus cultists are all of medium build, so their clothes can be considered suitable for Shuang Xie. At least at first glance, they can't tell that they are too big or too small.
With this "skin" around, the two felt a lot more at ease. After all, there were no photos or anything in those days. As long as they changed their clothes, they would most likely be able to escape tracking.
They were not worried that this disguise would be easily seen through, because they had already obtained a lot of information about the Fire Lotus Cult from the three Fire Lotus Cultists - they knew that there were many low-level members of the Fire Lotus Cult, and they knew that they They may not know each other, and even if someone asks them something, they can respond based on the information they have.
"Brother Huang, now that we have changed into this outfit, our next actions must be a little more consistent with our personality." When Sun Yixie picked up his luggage, he already had an idea in his mind about where he would stay tonight. .
"Do you want to live in a brothel?" Huang Donglai knew this boy so well that he finished the sentence before he could say it.
"What do you mean by 'I want to live'?" Sun Yixie's tone suddenly became louder, "There's nothing we can do about it, okay?" He seemed to be afraid that the other party wouldn't understand, so he explained, "These fire lotus gangs The believers themselves are all locals, so staying in an inn is very strange and can easily arouse suspicion."
"Oh, if you want to stay, just say it, it's okay~" Huang Donglai smiled jokingly, and at the same time he also put his luggage on his back, "Let's go, let's go, I guess you have already spotted the location of the brothel on the way here, you lead the way Bar."
"Tch..." Sun Yixie spat, but he didn't stop walking, and without further denying anything, he walked quickly to Huang Donglai's side.
The two of them walked out side by side while talking. As soon as they left the temple gate, they almost bumped into someone.
But I saw this man, dressed in quail clothes, wearing straw sandals, with a bundle tied diagonally on his chest, and a single sword on his back. Although he had a bamboo hat on his head to cover his face at the moment, he was so close. , Sun and Huang finally saw clearly that this was a young man in his mid-twenties with a fairly handsome appearance.
I think you all can see that this is Jiang Muchan who broke into Prince Lu's Mansion that night in the previous document.
Of course, what is said to be "the previous article" is actually just what happened last night in the book, and it only happened half a day ago.
So how did Jiang Muchan appear here?
Let’s talk about it in a few words and you’ll understand——
In the early morning, Jiang Muchan continued to run away after being taught a lesson by that "father-in-law".
Early this morning, before the Fire Lotus Sect started setting up cards, Jiang Muchan had sneaked into the city through the north gate and found a hotel to stay.
But he didn't expect that when the Fire Lotus Sect launched their manhunt in the morning, it would be so intense. Not only did they set up checkpoints all over the city, but they also posted wanted notices on every inn and shop in the city. What's even worse is... Some Fire Lotus cultists broke into the guest rooms of ordinary tourists to extort property in the name of "searching for thieves."
Although Jiang Muchan used a fake name when he stayed in the hotel, the risk of staying in the hotel was still a bit high. He had no choice but to sneak out and hide in the middle of the city. Then...he went to that person There are few places to run, and then...he will be here.
At this moment, Jiang Muchan was shocked when he met Sun and Huang.
Although when he approached the ruined temple just now, he did faintly hear the sound of someone talking inside, but he never thought that it was two "Fire Lotus Cults" talking, because he also had common sense and knew about the Fire Lotus Cult. People wouldn't come to this kind of place.
But when he saw the two sets of Fire Lotus Sect clothes, he was stunned.
"Huh?" After a short stalemate and silence, Sun Yixie quickly entered the scene, put on a bully and gangster look, looked at Jiang Muchan who almost bumped into him and said: "Who are you? What are you doing here? Well?"
Ladies and gentlemen, what Brother Sun said is quite shrewd - when encountering a situation, if you ask others first, you can prevent others from asking you first.
The situation at this time was actually very suspicious for Sun and Huang, who had just come out of the ruined temple. If the three of them had been stunned for a few more seconds, Jiang Muchan might have asked them this question first, but he was still half too late after all. Shoot, but Brother Sun beat him to it.
"Uh...I..." Jiang Muchan is actually not a good liar, at least not at Shuangxie's level of telling lies, so when he was asked so suddenly by Sun Yixie, he really couldn't make it up. The words came.
He couldn't tell the truth: I wanted to hide in this ruined temple because I was wanted by you.
In desperation, Jiang Muchan gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and simply stopped talking! Let’s do it!
As long as these two men were brought down with two blows of the sword, there would be no need to answer.
Huhu——
It was too late, but it was too late. At that moment, Jiang Muchan spread his arms, raised both hands, and hit Sun and Huang on the neck at the same time.
He thought that it would be easy to knock out two minions at this distance, so his two shots were not very fast, and he only used 20% of his strength, for fear of killing them.
did not expect……
Bang——
Before Jiang Muchan could wave his hands down, he had already received a slap on his chest.
Huang Donglai's palm did not have the intention to kill. Its power was mainly "push" force, not the "shock" or "penetrating" method of killing.
Originally, the purpose of this palm was to widen the distance between Jiang Muchan and the two of them, so that his two hand knives would miss, but even Huang Donglai didn't notice that at this moment, Sun Yixie had already stepped on one of Jiang Muchan's palms. foot……
If someone pushes you back when you are standing normally, and if you are pushed back while your feet are stepped on, the results will be different.
Originally, after this move, Jiang Muchan just jumped back a foot, adjusted her body shape, and then stood still. However, after Sun Yixie's intervention, Xiao Jiang fell straight and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, he was also a master. He quickly used his inner strength to perform the lightening technique. He quickly turned his elbows and turned his wrists to support himself, thus preventing the back of his head from hitting the ground.
"What's going on with these two people?" Jiang Muchan was shocked in the flash of lightning.
First, he was surprised that Huang Donglai had excellent martial arts skills and was by no means an ordinary person.
The second is that he was surprised that Sun Yixie's hands (legs) were damaged, and it was impossible to guard against it.
The other three are... He can't figure it out, why can these two people react so quickly to his sudden attack? Did they recognize me from the first sight?
Of course, he was overthinking it.
Sun and Huang didn't need to recognize him. They saw him looking confused and hesitantly saying "Uh...I...", so they were already wary of him.
This means that a gentleman's belly is often stabbed, but a villain's heart lives for a thousand years.
Shen Youran's sanctimonious appearance was guarded by Shuangxi based on his feelings without any evidence. You, Jiang Muchan, wanted to launch a sneak attack in front of them, but you are probably still a little green.
"The mountain is overwhelming!"
After a breath, when he saw that Jiang Muchan was not injured after falling to the ground, but could only support his body with his hands, Sun Yixie immediately stood up, roared, and assumed a very scary posture in the air. , and flew towards Jiang Muchan.
When Jiang Muchan heard "Taishan presses the top" and looked at Brother Sun's exaggerated movements, she naturally judged that this should be a move where he flew over his face and pounced from top to bottom.
Xiao Jiang didn't panic. He immediately removed his hands that were supporting his body and let his back gently touch the ground, ready to respond with his free hands.
Who would have thought... Sun Yixie's attack was not suppressed.
"Eh? Did he fly too far?" At that moment, Jiang Muchan looked at Sun Yixie's trajectory in the air, and suddenly realized that the force of the opponent's jump seemed to be too strong, and he had obviously jumped above him.
Just when he began to wonder if Brother Sun was a fool.
"Xuewu Jiutian!"
Sun Yixie, who was "passing by" above him, suddenly shouted again, and along with the shout, he threw a bunch of white powder at his face.
At this moment, Jiang Muchan began to suspect that the fool might be himself.
But again, a master is a master... and it is not so easy to be tricked and plotted against.
Shen Youran was successfully attacked by lime powder because it was in the middle of the night. When Shen was so angry that he was about to lose his mind, he took the initiative to rush towards Sun Yixie who was standing in the dark, and Brother Sun prepared "a sack" This kind of power beyond common sense, coupled with the opponent's rapid charging speed, threw him head-on, and Shen Zi couldn't avoid it.
But now, in broad daylight, there was still a little distance between Sun Yixie and Jiang Muchan. The lime powder thrown at them was only a handful that could be grasped in a person's hand, so Jiang Muchan still had time to react.
It happened that his back had landed on the ground just now. As the saying goes, "strength rises from the ground", Jiang Muchan used the force to turn over and quickly rolled to the side.
However, after he rolled over, a sword that had been waiting for him was placed on his neck...
Looking at the condescending Huang Donglai holding a long sword, Jiang Muchan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Ha...it seems that your Qinggong is pretty good..."
Huang Donglai already knew something when he heard the word "ye", but he didn't say anything. He just looked at Jiang Muchan coldly and said, "Thank you, get up and speak."
