In the Zen room of Shaolin Temple, two old monks were sitting opposite each other. One had an indifferent expression and was in the posture of cutting meat with a knife, while the other was meditating silently.
Obviously, Master Zhicheng is the piece of meat on the hob.
"What kind of martial arts conference are you holding at this time? Our Buddhist sect should be pure, so we shouldn't have to worry about these things. We have been out of the world for so many years. Abbot, where are you doing this?"
Listening to Master Zhicheng's complaints, Abbot Zhiyuan just opened his eyes slightly and did not answer.
Master Zhicheng went on to say: "It's a waste of money and people. Our temple has not had much money for sesame oil in the past two years. How much money will it cost to do this?"
"Okay, junior brother," Master Zhiyuan finally couldn't stand it anymore and spoke, "I know what you mean, Buddhism is pure, can you also say this? Why didn't you think about it when you gave the guarantee to that little girl from Changfeng Tower? Can you become pure through Buddhism?"
"It's just that I am not pure. Buddhism as a whole is still pure."
Abbot Zhiyuan put down the rosary and said sincerely: "If you didn't say this for sure at that time, I wouldn't have to think of such a solution. The reputation of the thousand-year-old temple cannot be ruined in my hands... Over the past year or so, the grievances and grievances in the world have been going on. Continuously, basically surrounding Changfeng Tower. The reason why the martial arts factions haven't gathered together to attack it, isn't it because you have a guarantee? It's almost the same. I have been helping for a year, and I can't help for a lifetime."
Master Zhicheng was helpless, reached out and patted his knees, and sighed: "Master said that among all his disciples, I was the only one who didn't look like a Buddhist. I did things impulsively, all based on passion. Now that I'm older, Not so willful anymore... Mo Changfeng is a good boy, he does things in a measured way, and the people he taught are all good. Did you hear about Nianzi over there in Luoyang? He is doing good things, and he will catch up soon We are Buddhists. Shouldn’t we help such kind-hearted people?"
"Without you, there is still Taoist Zhang Chengqing of Qingfeng Temple. You also said that at such an old age, don't bother. I have made up my mind, and you don't need to persuade me anymore." Kanshu La
Master Zhicheng was even more helpless and had to stand up and say goodbye.
Standing outside the meditation room, looking at the snowflakes falling in the sky, Master Zhicheng sighed and said silently in his heart: "From now on, it will depend on your ability."
When the young monk Huizhi saw Master Zhicheng coming out, he hurriedly went up to him with his cotton-padded clothes in his arms.
Zhicheng took the cotton coat and put it on himself - he was old and felt cold now.
…
After traveling for more than a month, Li Fenglan appeared quite comfortable and did not look like she was about to fight anyone.
Sitting on the highest point of Laoshan Island in Chao Lake, Li Fenglan stood on a boulder and looked at the distant lake scenery.
The weather was a bit cold, and the wind on the island was also a bit strong, making her shiver from the cold.
Standing behind the boulder, Han Lu shouted to her: "It's getting late! We have to get off the island!"
Li Fenglan jumped to Han Lu and said with a smile: "When these things are resolved, let's come and live on this island."
"Don't you feel cold?"
"No, it's pretty good."
"My face is turning red from the cold... Let's get down to business first. Where should we go later?"
"Let's go to Luzhou."
Han Lu felt that what she said was a bit out of tune: "Waiting to be caught in Luzhou City?"
Li Fenglan said with a smile: "Don't worry, they don't dare, Lao Mo is still looking at their eldest son."
Han Lu shook her head: "Let's find another place, Luzhou is not very safe."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. When we arrive in Luzhou, it's time to scare Chen Zijue and let him know what panic means."
Han Lu couldn't defeat her, so he had to follow her to Luzhou.
What Han Lu didn't expect was that one of the hideouts Li Fenglan commissioned Gongshu to build last year was in Luzhou. This gave Han Lu an illusion, as if she had counted from last year to today. Li Fenglan didn't think so far ahead. The reason why he built a place here was purely to prepare for emergencies.
The two found a restaurant to eat something, then took a look around the night view of Luzhou City, and did not return to their residence until Xu. When she was walking around Luzhou City, she was very blatant and didn't care at all about those people who had been targeting her early.
people.
After returning to his residence, Li Fenglan, who was pushing the door into the bedroom, suddenly stopped what he was doing, turned to Han Lu who was following behind him and said, "Let's sleep in separate rooms tonight."
Can't get it.
But he still asked hypocritically: "Why?"
Li Fenglan whispered: "Aunt Zhou is also in Luzhou. If she finds out...she will beat me."
Han Lu nodded with regret: "Then you have a good rest."
After saying that, he quickly ran back to his room.
In Luzhou Tianxing Tower, Chen Yan and Li Yuzhuo stood on the top floor without masks, looking at a small house in the distance. They saw a man and a woman entering the house. They said something at the door and then went back to their rooms to rest.
Seeing this scene, Li Yuzhuo burst into laughter: "Xiao Nizi is pretending to be pretty similar to Chen Yaojing. I guess these two little bastards must have eaten secretly. They slept in separate rooms when they knew you were in Luzhou."
Chen Yan showed displeasure: "Stop talking nonsense, she won't do anything nonsense."
"No nonsense? I heard that's not the case. It is said that she is the naughtiest among the children in the valley. But this is very similar to you. Back in Shuzhong, you and Zhou Xiao slept together within a few days of knowing each other. Bar?"
The displeasure on Chen Yan's face turned into anger: "He was injured, I went to the house to take care of him."
"Hey," Li Yuzhuo said with a look of disgust, "It's just a cut on my arm. It's not like I can't get out of bed. How can you take care of it?"
Chen Yan's face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water.
Li Yuzhuo quickly made a gesture of surrender: "It's just a joke, why are you angry? Nothing has changed after so many years, and you still can't take jokes."
Chen Yan looked at Li Yuzhuo and said, "Jade and Amber should have arrived in the past few days. People from Changfeng Tower and Bai Family have already been in place. Thorns Gate is still on the way, and Liuyang Sect is stationed outside the city. ...How long will Li Fengyao hide? After the fight?"
"I haven't seen her in the past six months, how would I know?"
Chen Yan secretly clenched his fists.
Li Yuzhuo hurriedly advised: "Don't be impulsive! Do you believe that girl? She must have already planned it. Do you think, if she really doesn't care about you anymore, why did she sleep in a separate room with that boy just now? You I have raised her since she was a child, but I still don’t know what she is thinking? I really can’t tell her the truth.”
Chen Yan ignored Li Yuzhuo and walked downstairs. Li Yuzhuo hurriedly followed, saying as he walked: "What are you afraid of? Xiaonizi and I have a good relationship. I will plead with you when the time comes."
The two of them walked downstairs while talking, and Chen Yan walked straight towards the place where Li Fenglan lived.
Li Yuzhuo was shocked: "Are you going tonight? What have you decided to say?"
Chen Yan still didn't speak.
She did not enter the house, but walked around the house, casually wiping the necks of a few people hiding in the dark. After knowing that there were no nefarious people around the house, Chen Yan flicked the blood on her sword and returned the sword. Sheathed it and headed towards the inn.
…
Chen Zijue stood in the study with his hands behind his back. One of his subordinates knelt in front of him and told him what happened tonight.
"Changfenglou Sword Immortal took action, and several brothers were discovered by her and all were silenced."
Chen Zijue didn't say anything. After thinking for a long time, he finally said, "Is it still impossible to get into the woods outside the city?"
"Can't get in."
"Did you tell the chief about what I said?"
"said."
"What did the chief say?"
"The big leader said... Mr. Chen, just do your best."
Chen Zijue suddenly slapped his hand on the desk with such force that his hand was swollen.
"Bai Shuyu, what are you doing? If you don't obey me... we will all lose this round."
…
This big move by the Thorns Sect shocked the whole world. They did not expect that the Thorns Sect, which always regarded itself as an upright person, would actually participate in this dispute. Speculations abounded for a while, some said that the Thorn Gate was on the side of Yeyu Xiaozhu, and some said that it was on the side of the Xianren Hall.
More than 300 people in the gate
They came out in full force and rushed to Luzhou at the speed of a rapid march.
Like the Liuyang Sect, they all found a place to camp outside the city. The two forces were at odds with each other and both were guarding the outskirts of Luzhou City.
The most mysterious one at present is probably the Bai family. They only know that the eldest son Bai Boju brought more than a dozen people to Luzhou. As for where their large force is hiding, no one knows.
From the current point of view, Yeyu Xiaozhu has the advantage for the time being. They are fighting at home first, and with the more than 500 people from the Liuyang Sect, even if the Thorns Sect helps Changfeng Tower and the Bai family, their numbers are unlikely to exceed them.
Bai Shuyu and Feicui felt this secret chilling atmosphere as soon as they entered Luzhou.
The two of them could have reached Luzhou the fastest, but seeing that they had enough time, they simply played around for a while, seemingly not paying attention to what was about to happen.
Following them into the city were Zhu Mingyu and Amber.
They had communicated with each other before and had agreed to meet at the Qingming Pavilion in the city, the largest teahouse in Luzhou.
Jade and Amber had seen each other for a while. When they met again, the two sisters happily talked about each other's experiences during this time. Zhu Mingyu and Bai Shuyu chatted one after another. The four of them knew that their conversation had not yet begun and the key person had not yet appeared.
While they were chatting, Zhu Mingyu saw two men and a woman carrying a lot of things in their arms entering the teahouse.
It was Li Fenglan and Han Lu.
"Sister Lan!" Amber waved and greeted Li Fenglan after seeing her.
Li Fenglan ran to their table and threw all the things in her arms on the table. When she was done, she also threw the pile of things Han Lu had brought on the table.
Jade frowned and asked, "What are these?"
"It's delicious! We bought it all morning, Amber, let's see what you want to eat."
Amber quickly rummaged through the pile of things.
Han Lu looked at Zhu Mingyu and Bai Shuyu, smiled and said hello: "Two, long time no see."
Zhu Mingyu looked Han Lu up and down and asked in a low voice: "Are you...recovered?"
"Yes, it's indeed better."
