Wang Suizhen saw her looking around for ghosts, just like a frightened little hamster. She looked funny and very interesting, and couldn't help laughing.
Only then did Zhu Lingling realize that Wang Suizhen was trying to scare her, so she couldn't help but become a little angry, puffed up her cheeks, and stopped paying attention to Wang Suizhen.
There were no words or disturbances along the way, and the two of them soon arrived at the small temple!
I haven’t been here for several years, and the temple is still the same, but a little more dilapidated.
Three years ago, except for one Jinyi guard, Shen Xujun, who was seriously injured and escaped from Bingzhou Prefecture's police force, all the others died in this small temple!
Later, the murderer of the police officer was never caught. As the case dragged on for a long time, the superiors stopped pursuing it, and the case was dropped.
But since then, folk rumors have spread that this small temple is haunted!
As soon as such rumors came out, no one came to burn incense and clean it anymore. Over the past three years, this small temple became more and more deserted day by day.
The path in and out of the small temple has been blocked by thorns, and the trees around the temple are no longer cared for and trimmed. They have grown too vigorously. Although it is a sunny day in the cold winter, Wang Suizhen and Zhu Lingling still looked at each other as soon as they arrived in front of the temple. It feels like the surrounding area is filled with gloomy and ghostly energy!
Wang Suizhen helped Zhu Lingling off the horse, sent the horse to eat hay in the woods on the side, and said to Zhu Lingling: "We are at the place, let's go into the temple and have a look."
Zhu Lingling was a little scared and frowned: "Do your master and you live here? Why do I feel like this place doesn't seem like someone lives in it?"
Wang Suizhen walked into the temple, looked around, and said: No one lives in this place, and my master and I don't live here either! Master just asked me to come here to meet him. Many people have died in and outside this temple! Don't touch and sit around!
Zhu Lingling's scalp went cold with fright, and she followed closely behind Wang Suizhen. Her eyes kept scanning around, and said: "What did you say? Are you lying to me again? How do you know that there is death inside and outside the temple?" Have you passed many people? Have you met them?"
Wang Suizhen shook the dust off the cattail grass, motioned for Zhu Lingling to sit next to him, and said: "I hid behind the Buddha statue that day and saw it with my own eyes! That day, my brother Changshan showed his power and killed several policemen in a row. ! If it weren’t for the hand crossbow of the third company of the Jinyi Guard Shen Xujun, Brother Changshan would definitely kill that Shen Xujun too!"
Speaking of this, Wang Suizhen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Nowadays, the temple is still there, but Changshan has passed away. Wouldn't it be great if I could get together with Brother Changshan here to talk about the situation of that day and the scene when I was scared to pee that day, and the two of them could talk and laugh?
Wang Suizhen raised his head and looked at the Buddha statue. He saw that half of the clay body of the Buddha statue that had been shot by a crossbow arrow had not been repaired, but the small feather crossbow arrow that had been shot on the Buddha statue had disappeared.
He thought in his heart: "At that time, I was young and had little knowledge. I really believed in everything in the world. As long as I prayed to the Buddha, the Buddha would definitely come to help me. At that time, I often fantasized about how the Buddha might be feeling that day. Okay, you will help me twice as much! I kept fantasizing that Buddha would ask Sister Hongxiang to marry me. Now that I think about it, these thoughts are really ridiculous! If there really is a Buddha in the world, he should be busy with his own affairs. , then if you have time to take care of trivial matters such as giving birth to a boy in Zhang San’s family and making more money in Li Si’s family?”
A clay sculpture was damaged by a crossbow and couldn't repair it, so how could it help mortals?
People who can't even help themselves claim to be able to help everyone in the world. Isn't this a clear lie?
Brother Changshan is right, there is no Buddha in the world, the Buddha statue is just a trick used by those bald people to defraud money!
Wang Suizhen was thinking about it, and suddenly from the corner of his eye he saw a crossbow arrow stuck on the beam on the top of the temple.
Wang Suizhen stood up and thought to himself: "Shen Xu's army shot three arrows in total that day, but none of them hit the crossbar. How come the crossbow arrows ran to the crossbar? Ah! That's right!"
Wang Suizhen thought of Changshan and said: Go to the cross beam of the small temple to meet the master! At that time, I was so sad that I didn't notice that there was something wrong with Brother Changshan's words. It seemed that there must be something weird on the beam!
Wang Suizhen climbed onto the vertical beam next to him and jumped onto the crossbar.
On the beam, under some rotten crossbow arrows, there was indeed a note inserted.
Wang Suizhen took off the note and jumped off the crossbar.
He opened the note and saw it written in block letters: "The Master of the Blue Sect has arrived in the south of the Yangtze River with his magic weapon. He will go to Qingzhai to worship the Holy Palace in the near future! There is no need to stop the Holy Master of the Bailan Sect on the official road!" Gather here on the fourth day of the first lunar month. If I don't arrive, go to Qingzhai on the fifth day of the lunar month to look for me in the forest outside the Holy Worship Palace! Your actions must be secretive and cannot be exposed! Remember! Remember!"
When Wang Suizhen saw the note, he felt happy and relieved.
What I am happy about is that I will finally see the master soon. What I am relieved about is that the master seems to know the news about the blue master of the Blue Sect and the magic weapon earlier than Changshan!
Wang Suizhen put away the note and put it close to his body. He began to worry again: "Brother Chang Hao said that Master will definitely die if he sees Master Lan holding the magic weapon. He asked me to persuade Master to go to his house no matter what, and then go to Baimu first." Let’s go to the mountain and ask the master to come out. Let’s talk about dealing with the Blue Lord. I don’t know how to tell the master about this? It seems that the master has been to this small temple before, and he probably won’t come again! What should I do now?”
Wang Suizhen paced back and forth anxiously, feeling a little hesitant and undecided.
Zhu Lingling next to her had been watching Wang Suizhen's actions curiously. When she saw Wang Suizhen walking around, she frowned and said: "Hey, Sir Wang, you have been walking for such a long time, and the horses have gone to rest." La, you should sit down and take a rest! Stop walking around, look at the dust on the ground being stirred up by you! Ahem..."
After Wang Suizhen heard this, he made up his mind instantly and said with a smile: "The horse is not actually tired, it is just..."
Before he finished speaking, a horse's death cry suddenly sounded outside the temple: "Xilululu!" ! !
The horse's mournful cry lasted only half a sound before it suddenly stopped.
Wang Suizhen's expression changed, and he said solemnly: "There is something wrong with the people coming from outside!"
Zhu Lingling jumped up from the straw mat in fright and asked: "That? Something's wrong? Should we run quickly now? Leave this place as soon as possible?"
Wang Suizhen looked solemn, shook his head and said: "This person is very good at tracking us. We can't run very far before we are overtaken by this person! Moreover, the horse has been killed by that person now, how can we run away?"
Zhu Lingling hid behind Wang Suizhen with some fear, and asked with great fear: "Then... can you beat him?"
Wang Suizhen was silent for a moment and said: "If you fight with others, life and death will be determined. How can there be any sure way to win? Who in the world dares to say that he is the best and invincible in the world?"
Wang Suizhen grabbed Zhu Lingling's wrist, pulled her into the gap between the Buddha statue and the wall, and said: "You hide here, don't make a sound! And don't move! Regardless of victory or defeat, I will make sure that person cannot be found. your!"
Zhu Lingling suddenly rushed forward, hugged Wang Suizhen tightly, and choked out: "No, no, no, you can't defeat, you can't die, I don't understand anything, I can't do anything, I am a weak woman, if How can I live without you? I have thought about it. If you win, I will continue to follow you. If you lose and die, I will die with you! My father is dead, that coward Bai Xiaochuan You don’t dare to marry me! But there is nothing between me and Bai Xiaochuan. Since you have saved me and touched my hand, I, Zhu Lingling, will recognize you from now on! You are my husband. ! Tell me, do you want me? If you say no, I will die for you right away!"
Zhu Lingling turned her right hand, and there was a very delicate small scissor in her hand. The scissors were pointed directly at her slender and white throat.
Wang Suizhen was stunned. He never expected that Zhu Lingling would suddenly say these words at this time!
He never expected that this weak woman would be so determined after she had an idea!
Looking at her attitude, if he didn't agree to her immediately, she would commit suicide immediately!
Wang Suizhen listened in all directions, and at this moment he could hear the sound of iron tools slowly rubbing against the ground from outside the temple. He chuckled and said: "If a beautiful woman treats me like this, why would I regret dying? I promise you!"
With a flying leap, the man had jumped outside the temple and looked intently into the forest.
I don’t know if it was Wang Suizhen’s own misunderstanding, but the originally sunny sky outside had now become slightly gloomy!
An extremely tall and burly man flashed out of the forest!
The man's walking posture was stiff and he was slowly coming towards me with a knife.
The knife dragged on the ground was as thin as a long sword, with a slight arc, and emitted a strange light in the somewhat dark forest!
The man's whole body was shrouded in darkness and his appearance could not be seen clearly, but as the man slowly walked closer, Wang Suizhen's ears began to faintly hear the sounds of ghost cries!
This sound seems to be there, but if you listen carefully, it is silent.
Wang Suizhen sneered: "Pretend to be a ghost! Dongshui Academy has such a great reputation, do you just rely on this little trick to scare people?"
The swordsman's voice was extremely harsh, like torn steel: "I heard that there are three blue masters from the Bailan Sect who came to Jiangnan this time. I didn't expect that two of them have already arrived in Bingzhou Mansion! It seems that Bingzhou Mansion has a good talent. , not only did the two blue masters come here! They even invited one of the only two magic weapons! I wonder if the magic weapon is on you? Why don’t you invite it out quickly? If you don’t invite it out, then you will There’s no chance to invite me again!”
Wang Suizhen was very surprised and thought to himself: "Are there only two magic weapons of the Lanlan Sect? There are two blue masters of the Lanlan Sect who came to Bingzhou Prefecture? One of the blue masters has a magic weapon on his body?"
Wang Suizhen knew that this man had mistaken him for the Blue Master of the Blue Worship Sect, and sneered: "Didn't Gu Dexing tell you that I don't have a magic weapon on me?"
The swordsman sneered a few times, his laughter ferocious and cold: "Hey hey, I'm so lucky today! Lan is the one to sacrifice the sword. It's not in vain that I trusted that good-for-nothing Gu Dexing!"
The swordsman stood up with his sword raised, concentrated for a moment, twisted his body and stepped forward, slashed with his sword, and chopped off his head!
The sword was bright, like lightning in the sky!
Wang Suizhen moved sideways and jumped to avoid the knife!
There was only a soft sound of "chi", and the long knife cut off a corner of Wang Suizhen's robe!
Such a fast knife, this is the first time in my life that I have encountered such a powerful opponent!
The swordsman missed the target, shifted his position, cut the long sword across the edge, and cut straight forward, and struck again in the waist!
This swordsman's swordsmanship does not have any fancy or superfluous movements, and this swordsman's sword is very different from ordinary swordsmen. There is almost no need to pause for breath. If one sword misses, another sword will follow!
A sword is as fast as a sword, and a sword is as dense as a sword!
The knife cannot leave the fatal vital point!
