After copying Buddhist scriptures for an hour, Crow followed three cups of spiritual tea, and his energy became better and better.
When I first arrived in Hainan, I heard a message from the old man at the foot of the mountain.
Hearing this, Li Xiuyuan frowned for a moment and replied calmly: "Let Qingfeng take them to the foot of the mountain. Senior, please watch for me and don't let them disturb the people."
The old man sighed and smiled bitterly: "What if it's not the case?"
"Then they don't have to leave Furong Town alive."
Li Xiuyuan replied coldly: "I'll pack up and go meet them at the bottom of the mountain. We don't tolerate bad guests on the mountain."
The old man responded and then became silent again.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the crow in front of him and asked, "You met a group of bandits halfway?"
Crow slapped his head and quickly replied: "Look at my memory, that is a place called Tongguling ahead of Dongfang County. Those bandits originally came here to cause trouble for the master, but who knew they strayed into the secret realm of Wanren Mountain?"
Crow talked about the battle with the bandits in the secret realm, and said with a wry smile: "After we left the underground, how could any treasure come to the world with the light that the old man created?"
This matter started when Xiao Dieer and the other three were in Wanren Mountain. While the three of them were still looking for a way out in the secret realm, the third master Ouyang Long left.
He rushed all the way back to the village, adding more fuel and jealousy to tell the story about the divine light falling in the secret realm, and told Lei Ming, the first boss of Wangyun Village, and Lei Ming, the second boss, told the story about the entrustment of Meng Mansion in the imperial city.
After this back and forth, the two bandit leaders immediately led a hundred of their men to kill Furong Town like lightning.
It happened that the old man Gong Yangbo had nothing to do tonight, so he took Qingfeng for a walk in the fields outside the town, and showed him the five acres of land that Li Xiuyuan had transferred to Yunqi Temple.
Unexpectedly, just when the two were about to return to the town to rest, the bandits from Wangyun Village came and killed them.
The old man had no choice but to step forward to inquire about the situation. It happened that the headmaster asked the old man where Xiaodieer and Crow were. After weighing the situation, the old man immediately let Qingfeng lead the way.
Leading a group of bandits to the foot of Yunqi Temple was the best way not to disturb the villagers.
Watching Qingfeng leave, the old man decided not to leave at all, so he found a stone slab to sit under a tree on the roadside outside the town, waiting for the last news about Li Xiuyuan.
At this time, Li Xiuyuan had already left the temple with the crow carrying a lantern and arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Hanging the lantern in his hand on the branch beside the stone wall, it quietly illuminated the four characters "Cihang Pudu".
The crow looked back and saw a clean light in the sky falling on the stone wall. Together with the lantern hanging on the tree, it illuminated the area three feet in front of and behind Li Xiuyuan.
It doesn't know whether the four characters on the stone wall are as powerful as the great formation in the mountains.
Li Xiuyuan didn't tell it, and the crow didn't want to know.
Just like Xiao Die'er never asked her master whether the formation in the mountains could block the wind and rain from the imperial city, Crow Crow would not care about the wind and rain.
However, the moment the crow turned its head, it had an illusion.
He felt the light from the falling lantern shining on the stone wall. The stone wall reflected a faint Buddhist light, shrouding it and Li Xiuyuan.
It was like sitting in a Buddhist hall, which instantly calmed down his restless heart.
Li Xiuyuan said quietly: "In a moment, you can go and stay on the stone wall. You don't need to take action tonight."
Crow nodded: "I know."
In the distance, there was the sound of horse hooves.
At this time, the villagers in the small town have long closed their doors and are dreaming. There are gods on the mountain, so they don't have to worry about their own safety.
At the foot of the mountain road, Li Xiuyuan silently watched Qingfeng walking in front of a group of men in black.
Watching the men in black dismounting and tying their horses to the edge of the woods at the foot of the mountain, the horses were moaning.
In the distance, Qingfeng heard Li Xiuyuan's message and immediately left the men in black behind him and headed down the mountain.
The crow thought for a moment, but instead of letting Li Xiuyuan throw it to the stone wall, it jumped onto Qingfeng's shoulder.
She lay down in his ear and smiled: "Don't do anything for a while, we will just stand here and watch the fun."
Qingfeng was stunned, clasped fists with Li Xiuyuan and said, "Sir, this is..."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and replied softly: "This is the cause and effect of our master and apprentice. Don't worry about it. Just take the crow and wait on the stone steps later."
Qingfeng sighed, pointed at the two people coming from the darkness and said, "This is Lei Ming, the first boss of Wangyun Village, and Lei Jinghu, the second boss."
After that, he said to a tall and thin old man: "This is Mr. Li Xiuyuan from Yunqi Temple. You two can ask him about Xiao Die'er."
After saying that, he waved to the crow, which fluttered and landed on Qingfeng's shoulder, and the two of them walked towards the stone steps behind Li Xiuyuan.
Standing quietly behind the "Cihang Pudu" stone tablet.
The old man who appeared in front of Li Xiuyuan had a thin face and was dressed in a green robe. He looked simple and calm, with nothing outstanding about him.
If it weren't for the group of men in black holding swords behind him, no one would have known that this was the dominant bandit master.
Following behind the old man was a fat man with an arrogant look. He was the second head of the family, Lei Jinghu. He seemed to dare not neglect the old man and stood behind him honestly.
There is also a middle-aged man with a gloomy expression. Since Qingfeng has not introduced him, in Li Xiuyuan's opinion, he is probably the master of the bandits.
Watching Qingfeng leave, the old man who was less than five feet away from Li Xiuyuan cleared his throat.
Said: "Our brothers in Wangyun Village died at the hands of Xiao Die'er, and we were entrusted by the Meng Mansion in the Imperial City to demand a blood debt from Yunqi Temple. Please call your girl out... "
Li Xiuyuan frowned and replied coldly: "So, you have received benefits from the Meng family and come here to rob?"
The old man shook his head, and the second master Lei Jinghu replied from the side: "Not only that, your people killed our brother in Wanren Mountain to seize the treasure, and also chopped off my brother's arm."
There was no expression on Li Xiuyuan's face, and he replied coldly: "What happened in the Meng Mansion? Do you know the whole story?"
The crow scolded: "To tell you the truth, two elders from the Meng Mansion came here to cause trouble for my master a few days ago and were hacked to death on the mountain."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "What I'm waiting for here is the Queen of the Imperial City, not bandits like you."
"Xiao Die'er is my disciple. Since she killed your men and injured your brother, naturally I, the teacher, will bear all the consequences."
The old man who was the head of the family seemed to hesitate for a moment, and was a little surprised when he looked at the young man in front of him who had no aura and his face was covered with a black cloth.
I wonder, are you really not afraid that I will kill you, or is there a powerful master hiding behind you?
Because his cultivation level was much lower than that of the old man Gong Yangbo, just like Li Xiuyuan, he couldn't understand the old man's cultivation level at all.
And the monk Qingfeng in front of him was obviously not even a match for the second master, and was not enough to make him retreat.
So, the old man thought for a while and said, "Boy, call out your elders. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear what happens tonight."
When the crow heard this, he immediately became angry and said, "Master, this old man is scolding you for not knowing how high the heaven and earth are!"
Qingfeng sighed softly when he heard this. He knew that a battle would be inevitable today.
Sighing, Li Xiuyuan replied: "Thank you for your kindness. I have the final say here. Don't worry, I don't have any backing. You don't have to be afraid."
"My disciple is back in seclusion and cannot come down to confront you. However, my other two disciples have told me the whole story. In this case, I will give you a choice."
The first master was about to say something, but the second master was unwilling to say anything more.
He changed his words and said: "Hand over the treasure from the secret realm of Wanren Mountain, kid, cut off one of your arms and let us go back to the Meng Mansion for a mission!!"
Upon hearing this, Qingfeng couldn't help but turn around and look at Crow Crow.
Crow scolded loudly: "Are you stupid or stupid? What my master hates most are killers and bandits. Get out of Furong Town immediately before he gets angry!"
The crow wouldn't be spoiled by these bandits. If the master hadn't said so, and if it hadn't grown all its feathers, it would have flapped its wings and hit people.
The old man snorted. The second master's expression turned cold, and a murderous aura was about to come out. It was obvious that he no longer wanted to reason with the blind young man in front of him.
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said, "My disciple has already said that you must either get out! Or die!"
Before the second master could react, a group of bandits behind him started shouting angrily, instantly breaking the silence of the town after dark.
"Master, kill this kid and go up the mountain and burn the temple!"
"Second Boss, I heard from Third Boss that there is a girl who is pretty good. I want to take her back and be your wife!!"
"Kill this kid and roast the crow to make it talk too much!!"
Even the master, who looked gloomy and silent, roared angrily: "Boy, have you taken the wrong medicine? We are not from the government, and we are not here to reason with you."
Before the old man could say anything, the team behind them dispersed at this moment, and there were prepared men in black at the edge of the woods at the foot of the mountain, ready to take action.
For a while, the bandits actually piled dry firewood collected halfway down the mountain into a hill on the roadside and beside the woods, and some bandits were ready to pour kerosene on it.
This is the rhythm of setting fire to the mountain and burning it all down!
Qingfeng's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help shouting: "You can't do this, it's a pure place of Buddhism up there!"
The old man snorted, pointed at Li Xiuyuan with his big finger and shouted: "Whether you surrender or not, you will all die tonight!"
The Third Master yelled: "Master, take half of the people and kill all the people in this small town and bring the valuables back to the village!"
Looking at the crescent moon in the sky, Li Xiuyuan's lips moved.
The old man standing guard under the tree outside the town nodded and drifted into the small street like a ray of breeze. It would take less than a moment to block the way of the bandits.
This was also the first time that Li Xiuyuan asked the old man to help. He was afraid that these bandits would hurt the villagers in the dream.
"Don't worry, boss, brothers, come with half of us and follow me to the town to make a fortune!"
The master turned into a black smoke and rushed out, rushing towards the entrance of the small street, hula! ! Suddenly half of the bandits followed him with their swords unsheathed.
Before the bandits disappeared into the vast crowd, the Third Master roared angrily: "What are you doing standing still? Set fire to this mountain first. I'll see who dares to practice here in the future!"
After hearing this, Qingfeng standing on the stone steps almost had an illusion. What he stepped on was no longer a long stone step, but a blazing flame.
The bandits' burning flames instantly swept through the mountain forest, as if the temple on the mountain was about to collapse and fall, engulfing the tiny self and the crow in the sea of fire.
The crow stretched out its wings and patted the breeze: "Take a deep breath and concentrate. Master, you haven't said a word yet, and you are scared!"
The moonlight was faint, the breeze turned back and looked around, the whole mountain was sleeping in a dream, and there was a mysterious power surging gently under the feet, as if it was about to come out in the next moment.
I was thinking about the way Crow swung his sword to kill the enemy before, thinking that even the apprentice was so decisive, so the master must be very decisive too!
Not to mention, there is an old man in the town who can't understand, waiting for Li Xiuyuan's order.
Thinking of this, Qingfeng no longer scolded the bandits, but coldly turned himself into a statue, watching how the demons in the world burned this spiritual mountain.
The night breeze was slightly cool, but it could not block the hot breath on the faces of the bandits. Several bandits had already lit the torches in their hands and were preparing to go to the high pyre, which was poured with kerosene.
Li Xiuyuan shouted coldly: "If you take another step forward, you will be dead."
