During the days when Lin Man Liuxing was in southern Xinjiang, Yijian Villa located in the south of the Yangtze River also discovered some major changes.
The hidden stakes originally stationed in the cities of Jiangnan Prefecture, as well as the disciples of Yijian Villa who were usually traveling outside, were all recalled.
Only the city of Hangzhou still maintains its previous operations. These subtle changes are certainly noticed by some people with ulterior motives.
With the withdrawal of the disciples from Yijian Villa, some sects entrenched in various cities began to openly occupy it.
In response to the emergence of these situations, the Tiandi Alliance has stated its position and ordered all factions not to make such speculative moves!
But it didn't have any effect at all. It only made those sects intensify, and even directly conflicted with the disciples of Yijian Villa who had not yet withdrawn.
Chaos in the south of the Yangtze River emerged. For unknown reasons, Yijian Villa began to gather forces, but its foundation was gradually eroded by other sects without any response.
Some people rumored that Yijian Villa recently welcomed back several blood-stained wooden tablets and a blood-stained chopping knife.
Everyone is guessing that Xue Tang, the third owner of Yijian Villa, was in danger on his way back to the camp. Although I haven't seen Yijian Villa doing that innocent thing, the subsequent weird behavior will inevitably make people unconvinced that this news is true.
What's more, the person who returned the wooden sign revealed his identity, saying that he was the chief priest of Wenjian Lake, and the second owner of Yijian Villa came forward with his people to greet him.
The words of the two people meeting outside the city were also found out. I still remember that Lan Wuqiu said: "If there is any difficulty in Yijian Villa in the future, you can send a message to Jianhu, and we will definitely help you!" It was a polite statement intended to form an alliance, but Ye Dang heard it out loud. Refused.
"Yijian Villa has no intention of pursuing fame and fortune. From now on, it will be whatever it is..." As soon as he said this, the chief minister of Wenjian Lake he faced seemed to have anger rising on his face. , but was quickly suppressed.
Lan Wuqiu cupped his fists and saluted, and said: "My condolences to the Master of the Second Village of Wangye, and farewell to Sword Lake!" At this point, the conversation between the two ended.
The disciples of Wenjian Lake returned to Yangzhou under the leadership of Lan Wuqiu. The disciples of Yijian Villa also led Ye Dangting back to the city and went straight to the Villa.
Since then, Yijian Villa has really become a situation where no one can help and people are fighting for it.
...Lin Manliu, who was far away in southern Xinjiang, naturally had no way of knowing what happened at Yijian Villa. On the one hand, it was a problem of message transmission, and on the other hand, he had no chance to approach the towns with Jiang Yanlin at this moment, let alone go into the city to inquire about the news.
After five or six days of trekking through the mountains, it was May 17th. The young man in a short shirt looked at the boundless mountain peaks in front of him and scanned them back and forth several times, as if he was looking for something.
Jiang Yan stood by and asked, "Brother Liu, are we lost?" Lin Manliu exhaled and waved his hand to show that he was okay.
"Although I have never been to the mountain road here, it's not that far away... During the journey later, just try to find if there are any temples or other buildings on the high mountains!" Jiang Yanlin was a little curious about the words of the person in front of him. , and also looked around at the surrounding scene.
He saw nothing, so he had to ask again.
"Brother Liu, are we going to find some mountain temples to hide in?" Lin Manliu shook his head and said: "This is where the mountains are located to the east of Fengcheng. There is no official road here, and the steep mountains are just one of them... .”
"What's the other reason?"
"The Star Watching Temple has occupied Fengcheng for many years. Their mountain gate is right here..." Jiang Yanlin didn't know much about things in southern Xinjiang, but he had heard of the Star Watching Temple for a long time.
After all, the Shenxingguan faction, whether it was when the heroes were divided, or after Yanyang unified the north and south, or as of today, has always been at the top of the southern border.
It's not that there have been any powerful figures in the Star Temple, but that they brought their ideas to the mountains and let the people in southern Xinjiang praise them.
In Lin Manliu's words, he defrauded the neighbors and fellow villagers of their money and raised a group of scoundrels who brought harm to the fellow villagers, which led to the current situation of stargazing.
Jiang Yanlin suddenly shuddered, and the words mentioned in the young man's words rang in his head.
"Phoenix City".
"We are approaching Fengcheng because..." he said slowly. Lin Manliu raised his hand to steady his shoulders and began to explain aloud.
"After these days of running around, I think Yanlin's condition will be unbearable in the future, so we need a place to stop..." Jiang Yanlin immediately spoke up: "But entering the city this time will cause Yan Yang to suffer. Officers and soldiers, please pay attention!" The young man in a short shirt said: "That's why we go from here. We only need to avoid the patrols of the disciples of the Star Watch. There are no troops stationed in the east of Fengcheng." After hearing Lin Manliu's words, Jiang Yanlincai Feeling at ease.
The young man in short shirt gave him a forward signal, and the two of them continued to ride their horses towards the mountain road ahead.
Along the way, I was looking at the surrounding peaks to find the direction of the Star Watch. Near noon of the day, the scorching sun, which was originally hidden behind the clouds, emerged from behind the clouds like a galloping horse.
Jiang Yanlin raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, his eyes looking a little depressed. When he was about to walk under the shade of the trees on both sides, he suddenly saw a white light flashing in the southwest.
"Brother Liu! Look over there!" He shouted quickly. Lin Manliu looked over when he heard the sound. On the high mountain in the direction he was pointing, several white lights appeared in the forest due to the sunlight.
When the boy in the short shirt looked carefully, wasn't it the light reflected from the tiles?
"That's the Star Watching Temple!" Lin Manliu nodded and said, "Well, we can go around there later and enter Fengcheng!" Jiang Yanlin was very pleased with his feat of being the first to discover the Star Watching Temple. , immediately tightened the reins in his hands and looked back at the boy in a short shirt.
"Brother Liu, let's go!" Lin Manliu looked at him with a smile, then pulled the reins in his hands and headed towards the Star Viewing Tower together.
But before he had gone two miles, the boy in a short shirt felt something was wrong. Although I visited the mountains behind Star View, I had never been there when I was a child.
But it shouldn't be different from other places. At this time, both sides of the mountain road... were too quiet.
At this time of year, birds should be roosting in the forest, and you should be able to hear the calls of birds and beasts... Lin Manliu couldn't help but start to pay attention to the movements around him. Jiang Yanlin looked at the young man's appearance and stopped speaking casually. Voice.
Just as the horse's hoof trampled a branch that was scattered on the ground, Lin Manliu heard another accompanying sound.
The sound of swinging a sword! The boy in a short shirt suddenly reached out with his left hand, lifted Shan Ye Xing from his waist upside down in his hand, and at the same time called out to Jiang Yanlin beside him.
"Yan Lin then protect yourself!" The next moment, two men in purple robes came out from the forest brandishing swords.
Star-catching sword sweep style! As soon as Lin Manliu slapped his horse on the back, he rushed towards the direction where the two came from. Shan Yexing stabbed out from the hand of the boy in a short shirt, and his figure began to move his steps to avoid the two men's attack.
The sword is as powerful as Huanglong! Lin Manliu first neutralized one person's move, and then reached out and grabbed his collar.
Without waiting for the other person to react, the boy in a short shirt jerked his head forward! It hit the face of the purple robe in front of him and the bridge of his nose, and a scream came from the mouth of the purple robe Taoist.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh at the same moment, the young man flicked his wrist, and the Shan Ye Xing flew out of his hand.
The sword power flies to Guluan! The black dagger flew in the direction of the other person's sword swing, and he forcibly blocked his sword swing.
After the man avoided the young man's attack, he saw that his fellow junior brother was now being held in front of him by Lin Man Liuhuan.
Just listen to the young man in the short shirt say: "I am undoubtedly intruding on the Star Viewing Temple, please don't stop me!" As Lin Manliu spoke, he just grabbed the Shanye Xing in his hand and moved it a little closer to the neck of the purple robe in front of him.
Seeing his junior brother being captured, the purple-robed master was heartbroken and looked at Jiang Yanlin in the distance.
"Who can't take hostages anymore..." He said and ran towards Jiang Yanlin. He didn't care about the safety of his junior brother and planned to capture Jiang Yanlin first and use it to blackmail Lin Manliu.
Lin Manliu immediately shouted: "Yan Lin, be careful!" At this moment, a stop shout came from the mountain road in the direction of the Star Viewing View.
"Back off!" The two Taoist priests from the Star Viewing Temple both looked in the direction of the mountain road, and Lin Manliu also looked at the person who made the noise warily.
The person who came was a Taoist priest wearing a purple robe and a yellow crown. The gold ornaments on his purple robe were different from those of the two people in front of him.
After seeing his face clearly, the boy in short shirt knew his identity. Nowadays, the new owner of the Star Temple is Taoist Shuangzhi.
Taoist Shuangzhi also recognized Lin Manliu's identity. His face was a little stiff, but he quickly slapped the Taoist priest on his head.
He said: "You two are my distinguished guests at Star Viewing. You must not be rude!" Listening to Taoist Shuangzhi's words, the purple-robed Taoist who originally wanted to capture Jiang Yanlin had no choice but to walk back to Lin Manliu and beat him too. A Taoist leader.
"It's Xiaodao who misunderstood the two laymen. I hope you don't blame me..." Although Lin Manliu didn't know the motive of the new monk's words, he could only release the purple-robed Taoist who was holding him captive.
The young man in a short shirt said, "Young man, I have seen the temple master..." Shuangzhi Taoist stood on the mountain path and made no move to move forward.
He just changed the direction of the whisk in his hand, and then moved to stand on the side of the mountain road. The strange behavior of this new monastery master aroused the confusion of the two monastery disciples.
"I figured that the two of you would pass by here today, and I was worried that I would have a dispute with the mountain patrol disciples in the temple, so I stayed here for a long time..." Lin Manliu cupped his fists and responded: "Then I would like to thank the temple master for his concern. Damn it!" Taoist Shuangzhi said: "Master Lu helped me visit the Star Temple to kill the evil thief and seek justice for the disciples who died tragically at the hands of the Tue Evil Sect. Today, I am just doing my little bit... "The young man in a short shirt sheathed his sword, beckoned Jiang Yanlin to mount his horse again, and then walked in the direction of Taoist Shuangzhi.
When passing by the new master of the Celestial Star Temple, Lin Manliu did not notice any changes in him. Then he could only say again: "The gift of giving way today will be repaid in the future!" Shuangzhi Taoist just lightly swept the whisk in his hand, and no boy in a short shirt made any response.
In this way, Lin Manliu and Jiang Yanlin were allowed to walk towards Fengcheng from the top of the mountain where the Star Temple was located.
He signaled the two stargazing Taoist priests patrolling the mountain to just continue to inspect the surroundings, and he would stop here for a while.
After the two purple-robed Taoists dispersed, another purple-robed figure walked out of the dense forest. Although he was dressed the same as the disciples of Shenxingguan, wearing the same purple robe and black crown, there was no trace of self-cultivation in that person.
Shuangzhi Taoist turned around and asked, "Is that all right?" The man patted Shuangzhi Taoist on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Well, you just need to pretend that no one has seen it!"
"Understood..."
"Do a good job, you are so embarrassed! Who are you pretending to show it to? If the old temple master died more comfortably, would it be your turn to wear this clothes?" Taoist Shuangzhi listened to the words of the person in front of him and had to squeeze out a smile. Lost a smile.
"Hey, that's right!"
