Li Yu followed the man in black out of the village. After experiencing the scene just now, Li Yu was not sure about this man's temper. He just followed silently and did not dare to speak. In this way, the two of them used Qinggong to shuttle through the woods. With. After walking for a while, the man in black said calmly: "Disciple, why don't you speak?"
Li Yu was a little timid and said, "I don't know what to say either?"
"Then tell me why you were late today?" The man in black's tone was still very calm.
Li Yu replied: "That's right, I ate late and slept late yesterday, so I ate late this morning."
"That's it? No other reason?"
Now that the matter has come to this, Li Yu doesn't want to put the responsibility on others anymore and said, "That's it."
The man in black said in a calm tone: "In the future, try to do things as early as possible rather than late. If you are a little late, it may cause irreparable losses."
Li Yu said: "I understand."
The two walked for a while, and it was almost noon. The man in black said, "There may still be some distance to go. Let's stop and rest for a while." After that, the two of them settled under the woods. The man in black said: "I'm going to find some water and food."
Li Yu said: "Master, let me go with you."
The man in black said: "If you are not familiar with this place, please stop walking around. Moreover, your current Qinggong is not fast enough, and leading you will affect me."
After hearing this, Li Yu felt a little embarrassed and thought to himself: "This master speaks so honestly and does not save himself any face." I saw an afterimage of the man in black flashing past and disappearing in front of Li Yu. Li Yu sat down, and happened to have nothing to do at this time, so he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes tightly, and practiced basic internal skills and mental techniques. I don't know how long he had been practicing, but Li Yu vaguely heard the sound of horse hooves. He opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound, but there was no one there. Li Yu thought he heard wrongly, so he planned to continue practicing with his eyes closed. But Li Yu could still hear the sound, and it was getting louder and louder. When Li Yu opened his eyes this time, looking from a distance, there were indeed two people riding horses slowly walking over.
Li Yu looked at the two people, as if they were communicating something, but they were far away, so they couldn't hear their words clearly. The other party looked at each other, and one of them saw Li Yu and pointed to where Li Yu was. Then the two of them rode horses and walked straight towards them. Li Yu was a little nervous, and he didn't know who these two people were.
The two of them walked to Li Yu's side, got off their horses, and walked in front of Li Yu. Li Yu looked at the two of them. The older man looked about thirty-five or sixty-six, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose, a rather handsome face, and a serious look on his face, which made people afraid. Feel free to tease. He was tall and straight, exuding an aura of wealth or nobility. After Li Yu saw this person, he felt familiar for no reason. The young man on the side looked very ordinary, probably in his early twenties.
The older man clasped his fists at Li Yu and asked politely: "Little brother, are you going to Xinyang County, but in this direction?" The man's voice had a man's unique calmness, which was very comfortable to listen to.
Li Yu politely returned the gesture with fists in his arms and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not a local and I don't know much about the road conditions here."
The older man nodded and said, "Sorry to bother you."
Li Yu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
The two of them left. Just as they were getting on their horses, the young man said to the older man in shame: "Vice-Leader Hua, it's all my fault that I forgot to bring the map, otherwise we wouldn't be wandering around here."
The words "Deputy Leader Hua" hit Li Yu on the head like a bolt from the blue. Could this man be the deputy leader of the Jiangsu Alliance, Hua Feng? Li Yu thought, looking straight at the middle-aged man's face, no wonder he felt familiar. This man was indeed Uncle Hua Feng, and he had seen him before.
Hua Feng didn't notice anyone looking at him. He turned to the young man and said, "It's okay, Yuanhao. Let's just ask a passerby later. The general direction should be good."
After Li Yu was convinced that it was Uncle Hua Feng, he immediately turned sideways and lowered his head, not wanting Hua Feng to notice him. When the two men were preparing to ride away, they planned to say goodbye to Li Yu. Hua Feng looked at Li Yu and saw that the man seemed to have his head lowered on purpose, so he stared at him with some doubts. After staring for a moment, Li Yu glanced at the two of them. This sneak peek didn't matter, but Hua Feng saw Li Yu's profile and felt it was slightly familiar, so he dismounted again and walked over to take a closer look at this person's appearance.
When Li Yu saw Hua Feng coming over again, he felt very panicked and lowered his head even further. Hua Feng said: "Little brother, I see you look familiar. Can you let me see what you look like?"
Li Yu lowered his head and said hesitantly: "Uncle, you are joking. I, I grew up in the village, how can I be familiar with you?"
Hua Feng asked again: "Little brother, the way I saw you just now is somewhat similar to an old friend of mine. Can you raise your head and let me take a look?"
Li Yu still lowered his head and twisted his face, and said in a panicked tone: "I don't look good, so don't look at me."
Hua Feng's tone became a little tougher and said: "Just look at your appearance, little brother, you don't have to be like this." After saying that, he used his hand to break Li Yu's chin. Li Yu hurriedly stepped back and immediately Using Qinggong, he jumped hard and planned to jump to the tree to escape. But before Li Yu jumped onto the branch, Hua Feng had already caught up with him. Hua Feng grabbed Li Yu's right arm and dragged him back to the ground. One of Li Yu's arms was restrained by Hua Feng and he could not break free. He could only turn his face to the side desperately to prevent Hua Feng from seeing it. Hua Feng took advantage of the situation and stretched out his other hand, intending to pull Li Yu's face away.
At this time, a hand grabbed Hua Feng's hand, and another heavy punch hit Hua Feng's chest. Hua Feng immediately realized the man's punch, released the hand that grabbed Li Yu's arm, blocked the man's punch, and took a step back. When Li Yu saw Hua Feng let go of his arm, he immediately lowered his head and ran quickly to the side. At this time, Yuanhao, who was still on the horse, saw this situation and flew out from the horse, flying towards Li Yu. Hua Feng took a closer look and saw that the man was dressed in black, wearing a turban and veil. He couldn't see his face clearly and said, "Your Excellency." Before he could finish his words, the man in black launched an attack on Hua Feng. Get ready to face your upcoming opponent.
A true Arhat who subdues the dragon and subdues the tiger, possessing both offensive and defensive skills in Huajia Quan. The divine form is as straight and powerful as a diamond, and the seven-star array rotates a hundred times in an instant. The fists and legs change according to the heart to meet the opponent's seven enemies. Both sides used all their skills, but no one could gain the upper hand. In the blink of an eye, the two men clashed with each other, exchanging countless moves. Both Li Yu and Yuan Hao were stunned as they watched the battle between Vice Leader Hua and the man in black. Yuan Hao even forgot to pursue Li Yu. Li Yu and Yuan Hao kept shaking their heads, watching the two men fighting fiercely in the woods. If they were distracted even a little bit, they might not be able to find the two men anymore.
After a while, Hua Feng and the man in black appeared face to face in the woods. The two of them shot out their palms at the same time, palm to palm, constantly exerting internal pressure on each other. The two people faced each other, staring at each other. After a moment, powerful internal force exploded from the palms of the two people, and a huge impact caused all the trees in the forest to shake. Back away. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the man in black glanced at Li Yu, immediately flew over, grabbed Li Yu and disappeared into the woods. Yuanhao saw this and wanted to chase, Hua Feng said: "Stop chasing!" Yuanhao turned around and looked at Hua Feng, only to see Hua Feng take a deep breath, look at the direction where the man in black left, and said: "This The martial arts skills of the man in black are not inferior to mine. If I pursue him rashly, something might happen. It is important that we get to Xinyang County first."
Yuanhao said in surprise: "Deputy Leader Hua, how can this man in black be so powerful? Even you can't defeat him."
Hua Feng put his hands behind his back and said, "It's hard to say. But judging from the fight just now, he and I will definitely not be able to tell the winner in a short period of time."
Yuanhao said: "I think his martial arts style is similar to Buddhist martial arts."
Hua Feng said: "Yes, he did use Buddhist martial arts. And the only people with this kind of skill are the eminent monks of Songshan Temple. However, I have seen all the eminent monks of Songshan Temple, and there is no one with a similar body shape to this person." Hua Feng said. Feng closed his eyes and thought, and murmured: "Furthermore, although the methods used are all Buddhist martial arts, and the methods are somewhat different from those of Songshan Temple, isn't it also from Songshan Temple?" As he spoke, Hua Feng slowly spoke from his mouth. Then he uttered three words, "Xuankong Temple".
Yuanhao said: "Xuankong Temple? Isn't that over there in Datong, Liao Kingdom?"
Hua Feng said: "Since the Tanyuan Alliance, the exchanges between the Khitan and the Song Dynasty have become closer. Two years ago, Master Lingxin, the abbot of Xuankong Temple, passed away, and his apprentice, Master Tixian, served as the new Abbot. After Master Tixian became the abbot, he often brought his disciples to me to pay homage to the emperor. So it is not surprising that there are monks from Xuankong Temple in the Song Dynasty. It’s just”
Yuanhao said: "Just what?"
Hua Feng wondered: "It's just that we people from the Central Plains don't know much about the Xuankong Temple. Who could have such power?" Hua Feng thought for a while and said, "Forget it, let's not think about it for now, whether it is Songshan Mountain The temple is still the Hanging Temple. If someone with such martial arts interferes in the affairs of Xinyang County, it may be a bit tricky for us this time."
Yuanhao opened his mouth wide and said timidly: "Then what should we do now?"
Hua Feng said: "Let's go to Xinyang County first. Things are still unclear now. I'm not sure whether the man in black has anything to do with the bandits in Xinyang County."
Yuanhao complained: "Deputy Leader Hua, don't you think you can just kill a bandit and ask the imperial court to send troops? Do you think we, the Jiang Alliance, should take action? Moreover, you are asked to come in person, Deputy Leader! What does the leader think?"
Hua Feng said: "Yuanhao, the imperial court did not allow Jiangsu Alliance to exist for no reason. Jiangsu Alliance is a center for managing the world. Occasionally, we have to help the Song Dynasty court with something. Besides, coming here at this time, The alliance leader also asked me to do other things."
Yuanhao asked: "What's going on?"
Hua Feng said: "This matter may or may not be here. Let's see how things develop." With that said, Hua Feng and Yuanhao mounted their horses again and set off.
The man in black fled quickly with Li Yu, looking back from time to time to make sure that the other party was not chasing him, and then slowly stopped. As soon as the two of them landed on the ground and stood still, the man in black quickly held on to a big tree and spat out a large mouthful of black blood from under his black mask. The man in black gasped for air and pulled off the black mask from his face. At this moment, Li Yu finally saw this man's face.
