Wu Yuan was extremely cautious and asked several guards to go in and check. After a while, the guard came out to report to Wu Yuan, but there was no one inside. Wu Yuan then asked Wu Zetian and the others to get off the carriage, and surrounded by guards, they entered the mountain temple and left the carriage and horses in the thatched house next to the temple.
After everyone entered, they found that the mountain temple was not large in scale, with only one main hall and two side halls on the left and right. The main hall is quite spacious, and except for a statue of a god, a sacred table and some other things, it is empty inside. Fortunately, there are some dry wood in the two small side halls on the left and right.
Wu Yuan asked people to carry the wood to the main hall and lit a fire in the middle. Everyone took turns standing in front of the fire to dry their soaked clothes. Shangguan Wan'er spread out a piece of embroidered cloth she brought with her, placed it at the foot of the wall, and asked Wu Zetian and Zhang Zongchang to sit down.
Feiyun saw that it was already dark outside, and the rain had intensified, turning into a violent storm. Feiyun told Wu Zetian that he could only spend the night in the mountain temple, and his three brothers and sisters went to the left side hall to spend the night. Feiyun asked Wuyuan to arrange for someone to stay on duty at night to prevent any accidents. Wu Yuan glanced at Wu Zetian, who nodded in agreement.
Feiyun and the others came to the left side hall, lit a fire, and dried their clothes. Fortunately, the heavy rain didn't fall for long, and they entered the mountain temple. Although the clothes in the beautiful scenery got wet, there was no embarrassing situation. The clothes were dried and the three of them sat down around the fire. Although it is spring, it is still a bit cool on a windy and rainy night.
Liangchen looked outside the door and said, "Senior brother, you can have a good rest later. Me and Meimei will take turns keeping watch." Feiyun said, "You don't need to be there. I can just keep watch alone." Meimei objected, "How can I do that?" , according to the rules, three people take turns!" Feiyun smiled slightly, knowing their personalities, so he had to acquiesce.
At this time Wu Yuan came in and said: "Young Master Lin, I have arranged for the guards to take turns on duty at night, so the three of you can rest assured. With weather like today, no one will come. I will have someone bring some food to the three of you later. Bit of food.”
Feiyun said, "Your whereabouts have been exposed, and Mrs. Li has many enemies, so it's better to be careful! We have our own food, so we don't need to trouble you." Wu Yuan said nothing more and turned to leave.
Feiyun and the other two simply ate some food they brought with them and practiced for a while. After that, Feiyun let Liangchen Meijing rest, and he would be on duty for the night, and then he would replace them. Liangchen refused, insisting that Feiyun rest first and he would be the first to keep vigil. Feiyun saw that it was still pouring rain outside, and thought that no one would come to assassinate him in such a rain, so he agreed to the good time.
Feiyun and Meili leaned against the wall, sat on the ground, closed their eyes and rested. Listening to the sound of wind, rain and occasional thunder outside, the two slowly fell asleep. Only Liangchen was still sitting at the door, holding a jade flute, watching the drizzle outside with vigilance...
The weather cleared up early the next morning, and the rain stopped in the middle of the night. After everyone tidied up for a while, they set off to continue their journey westward. There had just been a heavy rain, and the bumpy road was filled with water and became muddy. The carriage could only move forward slowly. After being washed by the rain, the flowers, plants and trees on the roadside look more vibrant, and the air is filled with fresh air.
Feiyun and the other three were still following the carriage, walking slowly, still looking around with vigilance at the good times and beautiful scenery. After walking for more than half an hour, everyone came out of the forest and found a small river in front of them. After crossing the stone bridge over the river, there was a rice field. Everyone thought that it seemed that the market was not far away, and they couldn't help but be very happy.
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves coming from behind. Immediately afterwards, the three men rode their horses past Feiyun and others, got on the stone bridge first, reined in the reins, and turned the horses' heads. Wu Yuan, who was walking in the front, saw that the other party was lined up and blocking the way. He thought to himself that the person coming was evil, so he quickly stopped moving forward.
Wu Yuan slowly urged his horse forward, raised his hands to the other three, and asked: "Excuse me, three brothers, why are you blocking our way?" A middle-aged man in gray clothes on the left opposite side glanced at Wu Yuan. The carriage behind Yuan said coldly: "Brother, we are tracking down an enemy. We are worried that she is hiding in your carriage, so we need to check."
Wu Yuan's face darkened and he said displeasedly: "What you said is too rude. My hostess is in the car and it is not convenient to see outsiders. As for your enemies, we don't know about them at all and we haven't made any friends with strangers recently. Please Get out of the way quickly and let us pass, don’t delay our journey!”
The middle-aged man snorted and said: "We haven't checked the carriage, so we definitely can't give way!" Wu Yuan said with disdain: "Just the three of you may not be able to do it. I advise you three to leave as soon as possible to avoid You are hurt and angry!" As soon as Wu Yuan finished speaking, the guards behind him drew their sabers and prepared to attack the three people.
At this time, the middle-aged man looked at the young man in the middle and seemed to ask for his opinion. The young man was about twenty years old, with handsome features and extraordinary bearing. He glanced at Wu Yuan and said: "Sir, we don't want to hurt the peace. I think it's better to ask everyone in the car to come out and show their faces. If they are not the people we are looking for, we will give way immediately. What do you think? "
Wu Yuan said angrily: "I said no, so I won't. How can you meet my master if you say you want to see me? If you don't give way, we will have to force our way!" The young man smiled slightly and said, "In that case, look Let’s go and see for ourselves!” After saying that, he waved to the young man in blue on the right.
The young man in blue is about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he carries a sword on his back. As soon as he saw the young man in red waving his hand, he immediately jumped up from his horse, flew over Wu Yuan's head and flew towards the carriage. Wu Yuan didn't expect that the other party was so good at Qing Gong, and he couldn't help but be shocked. Wu Yuan wanted to fly to stop him, but it was too late. The young man flew close to the carriage, raised his palm in the air, and struck hard at the guard on the carriage.
The guard hurriedly waved his sword to meet him, but only heard a "ding-dong" sound, and the guard's steel sword had been shot down. Then the guard yelled "Ouch" and fell from the carriage to the ground. The young man was already standing on the carriage and was about to lift the curtain.
At this moment, a voice came from the carriage: "Don't be rude!" A strong palm force hit the young man. Seeing the strong force of his palm, the young man had no choice but to stop his hand, turned around, and counterattacked with his palm. With a snap, his palms touched each other, and the young man was knocked backwards several feet and fell to the ground.
The young man hurriedly looked across and saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in green clothes. It turns out that just now Feiyun saw that Wu Yuan and the other party were getting more and more tense as they talked, so he asked Liangchen to go to the carriage to protect him, and he was ready to take action at any time. As soon as Liangchen walked to the carriage, he saw the young man about to lift the curtain. Liangchen shouted hurriedly and waved his palm to attack.
The two palms touched each other, and Liangchen couldn't help but take a few steps back. After all, the other party is condescending and has the upper hand. However, in this exchange, Liangchen saw that the opponent's internal strength was slightly inferior to his own, otherwise he would not have been knocked off the carriage. Liangchen immediately flew up and landed in front of the young man to prevent him from getting on the carriage again.
