Not long after, the figure slipped out of the window again, but left the inn without returning to the room she was in before.
From beginning to end, she never noticed that under the eaves on the other side, a black cat watched her movements meticulously.
In the room where the woman just sneaked into, the quilt on the bed was half lifted, and something like a human could be faintly seen in it. With the help of the faint moonlight, when she looked carefully, she realized that it was another bed rolled up. A long rolled quilt.
"Meow~"
The black cat meowed softly, turned around and jumped off the eaves with deft movements, disappearing into the dark corner.
Late autumn has arrived, the night is as cool as water, and an autumn moon hangs high in the night sky, casting its cool moonlight.
In another inn not far from this inn, four people were gathering together to discuss something.
It was Bu Xiaotian and the four who were supposed to be in the previous inn.
After Bu Xiaotian finished speaking, Fa Ming announced the name of Buddha and said:
"Amitabha, according to what Junior Brother Bu Xiaotian said, this person should be from the Miaoyu Sect."
Several people were not surprised by this. After all, although they removed all the people from the Miaoyu Sect that day, they did not kill everyone who saw them. The Snow Demon of the Miaoyu Sect would know that it was them after a little inquiry. Done.
Bu Xiaotian said again:
"This person's cultivation level is not low. He is much higher than the person with the highest cultivation level in the town that day."
Fa Ming thought for a moment and said:
"Although the cultivation level of those people back then was not considered top-notch in the Miaoyu Sect, they were still elders. Those who had higher cultivation levels than them, I'm afraid their status in the Miaoyu Sect was not low."
Lotte thoughtfully:
"It seems that the so-called 'young master' must be an extremely important figure in the Miaoyu Sect. Otherwise, just by us destroying one of their branches, they would not be able to send such a master to deal with us."
After giving in to Letian's words, Xiaotian remembered something. He looked at Lan Yunxin and Fa Ming and said:
"It seems that the last time Smiling Yama took action was because you killed someone very important to them, right?"
Faming shook his head and said:
"I don't know, it seems to be just an ordinary altar in Holy Soul Mountain. Even if we knew there were important people there, we wouldn't let them go.
If we have to look at who the other person is in order to eliminate demons and defend the way, then we are really calling ourselves the right way in vain. "
Hearing this, Bu Xiaotian nodded, stopped continuing the topic, and asked instead:
"Then what should we do now? That woman must have come prepared. The four of us alone may not be their match."
This is indeed a problem. If you know that you are not hostile and still confront them, it is obviously not a wise choice.
But if you want them to quietly avoid them, it will look like they are afraid of these Demon Cult monsters. Several of them are young disciples of the righteous sect. If you want them to admit that they are shrinking because they are afraid of the powerful strength of the Demon Cult monsters, it is inevitable. Somewhat unwilling.
Just when several people were in a dilemma, Lan Yunxin suddenly said:
"Why can't we get help?"
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the three people who were frowning in thought lit up.
yes!
Since they have few people and are no match for the people of Miaoyu Sect, why not find some helpers?
Only then did a few people realize that they had been stuck in a misunderstanding. They were always thinking about how to fight the demon cult demons. They never expected that they had never fought alone.
At that moment, several people discussed it in detail, and then they each thought of ways to contact their masters and friends to come to help.
For such a big city, and located at the intersection of four states, there is a high chance that their fellow disciples will be here.
Even if they are unlucky and can't find anyone to help them, it won't be too late to leave quietly when the time comes.
Lan Yunxin and Bu Xiaotian were both disciples of the Yuxu Sect, so they went outside the city together before nightfall, and used their true energy to leave a hidden Tai Chi diagram at the four city gates in the east, west, south and north.
This was the signal for help when the disciples of the Yuxu Sect were walking outside. These small Tai Chi diagrams made of true energy looked inconspicuous. After being attached to the city wall, they gradually disappeared without any clues.
However, as long as a disciple of the Yuxu Sect who practices the Daoxuan Sutra can feel the presence of these marks within three miles of them within three days after they are left.
Leaving marks at the city gate, the two left several marks from the four city gates to the inn where they were, and then returned to the previous room.
When the two of them returned to the room, Faming and Letian had also returned. Seeing the two of them, Letian asked:
"how?"
"Okay, if no one comes within three days, we will leave here. How are you doing here?"
Lotte and Faming also nodded.
"no problem!"
"The same goes for poor monks!"
At that moment, Bu Xiaotian and the others didn't say anything anymore, they sat quietly in the room and waited.
This wait lasted a day and a night. During this period, in order not to expose their whereabouts, several people stayed together and never left the inn.
At midnight the next day, Fa Ming, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly had a look on his face and opened his eyes.
Several other people also opened their eyes and looked at Fa Ming.
Faming didn't make any movement, but the rosary beads in his hand suddenly glowed with a faint golden light.
Within a moment, a very soft voice was heard coming from outside the door:
"Junior Brother Faming, is that you?"
"it's me."
Fa Ming stood up and opened the door. He saw a tall figure wearing a cloak covering his whole body standing at the door. He took off his cloak after seeing Fa Ming. His dress was quite similar to Fa Ming's, his face was rough, and he looked He should be his fellow senior brother.
When Faming saw the visitor, he put his hands together, performed a Buddhist salute, and said:
"Senior Brother Faxiang."
The tall monk known as Dharma also returned the gift and said:
"I felt your Buddha power outside the city, so I came here. What happened?"
After saying that, he saw clearly that there was someone else in the room, and asked again:
"Who are these donors?"
Faming introduced the three people in the room to him one by one:
"These two are Junior Brother Bu Xiaotian and Junior Sister Lan Yunxin, both disciples of the Yuxu Sect. This is the Lotte Donor."
Then he introduced Bu Xiaotian and the others:
"This is the poor monk's senior brother Fa Ming."
At this moment, the two parties greeted each other and were considered acquaintances.
Fa Ming briefly recounted what happened in the past few days.
Only then did Dharma Prime suddenly say:
"I see. No wonder I saw many Miaoyu Sect demons gathering in this city along the way. It seems they are all here because of you."
This kind of awakening had been expected by several people, so they were not surprised.
Seeing that Fa Xiang was alone, Fa Ming couldn't help but ask:
"Brother, are you here alone?"
Dharma Prime Minister shook his head and said:
"No, several juniors and I rushed over when we noticed that the Miaoyu Sect disciples were gathering here, and met several disciples from Yuxu Sect and Yaowang Valley along the way.
Several disciples of the Yuxu Sect also saw the distress signal. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, they all stayed outside the city. Only one person went into the city to investigate. "
Bu Xiaotian asked:
"Senior Brother Faxiang, may I ask which of my fellow sects from the Yuxu Sect have arrived outside the city?"
"There are Senior Brother Li Yungui and Senior Sister Jiang Yunli from Wuji Peak, Junior Brother Chu Yungong, Junior Brother Li Yunjian, and Junior Sister Situ Yunying from Purple Thunder Peak, Junior Sister Jing Yunxin from Yuzhu Peak, and Junior Brother Yunxi from Wuyin Peak."
Hearing that Chu Yungong, Li Yunjian and Yun Ying were also here, Bu Xiaotian's eyes flashed with joy. He hadn't seen them for a long time.
But then he thought that there would be a big battle between them and the Miaoyu Sect, and he was suddenly worried that Yun Ying would be injured in the fight.
"Is there anyone else?"
But it was Lotte who spoke. The Miaoyu Sect was coming fiercely, and they alone were not enough.
Faxiang understood Lotte's concerns and said:
"Nine senior brothers have also come from Yaowang Valley. Together with our disciples from Jade Buddha Temple, there are now a total of twenty-three people outside the city."
Lotte still frowned:
"There are twenty-six people outside the city, and there are only thirty-one people including the five of us. According to what Senior Brother Faxiang said, the Miaoyu Sect must have dispatched a large number of experts this time. Even if we add up, we are probably too powerful. Not caught!"
There was no trace of worry on Dharma's face, and he said:
"Lotte Donor, don't worry. We had already anticipated this situation when we came here, so we have already sent out the signal. A large number of experts will come here in the next few days. We only need to delay for a few more days. When the time comes, With all the people on hand, there is no need to be afraid of them anymore.”
"Okay, let's find a way to delay them for a few more days. When you guys are all here, let us know. Then we will lead them out of the city to avoid hurting innocent people."
Lotte also felt relieved when he heard that a large number of righteous masters were coming here.
The Dharma Prime Minister nodded and said:
"That's very good. The brothers outside the city are still waiting for news about the poor monk. It is not suitable for the poor monk to stay here for a long time, so I will leave first."
"Okay! Brother Faxiang, be careful!"
This lasted for another three days. During this period, in order to make the people of Miaoyu Sect sure that they were still in the city, Bu Xiaotian would go out in his original appearance from time to time. When someone found him, he would change his body shape in Qingyun robe to escape tracking, and just hang like this. Watching them.
On this day, with the scorching sun in the sky, four people were practicing cross-legged meditation in the room, when a stone broke through the window paper and fell into the room.
Bu Xiaotian and others were immediately alert, and saw a note wrapped around the stone that fell into the room. Letian picked up the stone and unfolded the note, only to see the words "Everything is ready" written on it.
Seeing the words on the note, the four of them immediately understood that the people who should be there were all present. They no longer hesitated, and without concealing their whereabouts, they turned into four streams of light and flew straight out of the city.
They made a lot of noise, and many people in the city saw these four streams of light.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of streams of light followed them and flew out. They were the masters of Miaoyu Sect who had arrived in the past few days.
In less than a moment, dozens of streams of light fell on the open space ten miles outside the city.
After Bu Xiaotian and the four of them landed, they were surrounded by dozens of people following closely.
A charming woman emerged from the crowd and chuckled:
"What? Are these little mice finally not going to hide anymore?"
Bu Xiaotian snorted coldly and said:
"Demon cult monsters, if you want to take action, do it, why bother talking nonsense!"
"Giggle~"
The woman was not angry at all, she smiled sweetly and said:
"Little brother, don't be anxious~ Your people haven't arrived yet, right? Don't you plan to wait until they arrive before taking action?"
Bu Xiaotian and others had already figured it out in the blink of an eye.
In the past few days, hundreds of disciples from the three major sects have arrived one after another. No matter how secretive their movements are, they will inevitably leave some traces, and it is not inconceivable that they will be discovered by these people from the Miaoyu Sect.
Before Bu Xiaotian could speak again, the woman suddenly said loudly:
"Come out, everyone! Being sneaky is not the style of what you call a righteous person, is it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a hundred figures suddenly jumped out of the woods near the clearing, surrounding these people from the Demon Cult.
An older monk stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and said:
"Amitabha! Lady Charming, you have no way to escape today, so let's capture you without mercy!"
Seeing these people, Lady Mei did not show any panic on her face, she smiled charmingly and said:
"Who do you think the Nu family is? It turns out to be Monk Kong Wen of the Jade Buddha Temple. What? Is Monk Kong Wen, one of the four famous monks of the Jade Buddha Temple, planning to bully the minority?"
However, Master Kongwen didn't accept her method of provoking generals. His face was neither sad nor happy, and he said in a deep voice:
"Don't use clever words and tricks. The two paths of good and evil have been incompatible since ancient times. The poor monk is by no means a pedantic person. If he can eliminate one more disaster in the world, the reputation of the poor monk is not important."
"Seeing as how you look like this, you've convinced us?"
Madam Charming suddenly let out a loud roar, and hundreds of figures in black were seen running from a distance, forming a large circle around the disciples of the three major sects.
Judging from their clothes, although these people are mainly from the Miaoyu Sect, a small number are from other sects of the Demon Sect. A dozen of them have a calm aura, and their aura is faintly approaching Master Kongwen.
At this time, Lady Mei smiled proudly and said:
"You are making such a big move, how could the slave family not make more preparations? There will be a price to pay for underestimating the slave family~
Do it! "
