Chapter 15 Staying Overnight in a Ruined Temple

The sky was so dark that it seemed as if the entire cloud layer could be reached with one's hand. The rainwater slanted down in the strong wind, rushing down like a waterfall. There were dazzling thunder lights, and then the roaring thunder seemed to be less than ten meters away from the ground. Sounded from the meter.

Shi Xuan walked slowly in the darkness with the package on his back. Although he had cast the Rain Avoidance Art and the Night Vision Spell on himself, and his deep internal strength made the Qing Gong more brilliant and lasting, the harsh environment was still Shi Xuan found it difficult to walk.

After setting off from Xia'an Mansion, Shi Xuan first went south to the river, and then went upstream, preparing to go to the nearest Tongxuan Mountain in Chuzhou first. Along the way, Shi Xuan always maintained a relatively leisurely attitude, just like he was traveling in his previous life. Especially when he stood alone by the river and saw the majestic scene of the rolling river coming from the west, he felt that the world was vast, and I The feeling of being alone and free. It's not that Shi Xuan has never seen the Yangtze River in his previous life, but now the river is at least twice as wide, majestic and breathtaking.

For Shi Xuan, cultivating Taoism is about seeking longevity and freedom. So, since you have to go everywhere to search for the immortal way no matter what, no matter how fast you travel, it will only last a few days. Let yourself be more free and at ease, why not do it. Cultivating the Tao is not about cultivating a stone. .

Originally, Shi Xuan planned to take a boat to Chuzhou. It was such a pleasure to have the river breeze blowing from the bow of the boat and eat river fish in the boat. However, while traveling and exploring the legends of immortals, when he arrived at Linshui Mansion on the edge of the river, he had already It was June, and as a result, we encountered the first heavy rain of the year. The river had already risen quite a lot, and the boats on the river were afraid to travel upstream. Shi Xuan had no choice but to wait in the city. After staying for several days, the heavy rain came and went, but the water level never dropped. Shi Xuan was tired of watching the rain and didn't want to wait any longer. After the weather dried up for a day, he packed up his bags and set off overland to Chuzhou.

Although Shi Xuan took the land route, he was still going up the river, preparing to switch to a boat one day when the heavy rain stopped completely. Unexpectedly, when he went out today, there was still a breeze and no rain. Shi Xuan walked into the evening without leaving the store, and was preparing to sleep in the wild like he had done several times before. The wind was strong and the rain was pouring. Shi Xuan didn't want to just sleep in the house like this. In the wild, although there was Taoism around, it was not comfortable, so he walked forward in the rain. Unexpectedly, he didn't see anyone after walking for a long time. Shi Xuan even doubted whether he was going the wrong way. It's the tragic end of not having a map to buy. You have to know that in this era, maps were highly confidential items.

Shi Xuan was walking in the darkness. Thanks to Taoism, he could clearly see the puddles and mud pits in front of him. He simply walked around them. If anyone was watching at this time, they would definitely be interested in Shi Xuan's ghostly movement and night. Surprised by the ease and ease of daylight. Shi Xuan continued walking for another half an hour, and finally saw a fire flickering in the distance ahead, and couldn't help but feel relieved.

Now that he had a target, Shi Xuan naturally accelerated towards the direction of the fire. When he got closer, he discovered that it was a ruined temple. The fire inside meant that the same people who were on their way to the rain were already taking shelter inside. Well, they were both at the end of the world. People in the rain.

However, the existence of the ruined temple reminded Shi Xuan of countless martial arts novels and ghost novels, in which there were peerless martial arts masters waiting for me to become my apprentice, or there was sister Nie Xiaoqian waiting for me to save. In his wild thoughts, Shi Xuan had already stepped onto the steps and pushed open the half-open door.

There are two groups of people inside the ruined temple, and they can be distinguished from the distance between their respective fires. There were only two people sitting around a fire far away from the tattered Buddha statue, a handsome young man in blue clothes, and a young man in an azure robe who looked like a book boy next to him. Under the Buddha statue, there are three fires very close to each other. They are full of people, there seem to be nearly twenty of them, all wearing neat gray clothes. There are several flags next to the Buddha statue. He wrote "I am Wu Weiyang" and "showing off to the escort bureau", etc. It seems that this group is a group of escorts.

As soon as Shi Xuan entered the door, the people at the escort agency looked over with vigilance. They relaxed a little when they saw that it was a very young Taoist priest, but they still looked up and down for a long time before looking away. But from Shi Xuan's senses Look, they didn't let down their guard at all, but that's normal. As escorts, it's a good thing to be vigilant. On the other side, the young master in Tsing Yi didn't show any concern for Shi Xuan. He just watched his boy roasting dry food. He didn't know if he had heard Shi Xuan's footsteps walking towards the ruined temple, or if he was arrogant and disdainful of others. people.

However, since someone was already here, Shi Xuan still planned to express some goodwill and said Gongquan: "Everyone, there is a heavy rain on the trail and I have to stop here. It is really disturbing."

A middle-aged man stood up from the fire in the middle of the Escort Bureau opposite, with a rough appearance, and said in Hong Zhong's voice: "It doesn't matter, everyone is out. It's convenient if you can. I would like to show off to the Escort Bureau and congratulate Dahai. There is no need for the little Taoist to be polite." "After saying that, he sat down again, and it seemed that he didn't intend to invite Shi Xuan to come over and have a fire with him.

Only then did Shi Xuan realize that in the middle of the fire, there was a young woman sitting next to the middle-aged man. She was quite beautiful, but her eyes were very arrogant, and she was also dressed in a gray escort outfit.

The young man in green on the other side still ignored him, as if Shi Xuan didn't care about him. Seeing this, Shi Xuan didn't say much. He found some rotten wood and thatch from other places in the ruined temple, then turned his back to the people on both sides, chanted a spell softly, and made a fire. Shi Xuan didn't bring anything with him. Flint and stuff like that.

After finishing it, he sat cross-legged by the fire. This environment was not suitable for visualization and Qi movement. Shi Xuan had to close his eyes and rest, but his keen senses enveloped the entire ruined temple.

Although there were nearly twenty people in the escort office, there were actually only four people sitting in the middle group. One of the fierce-looking escort chiefs whispered: "Chief escort chief, I think there is a big problem with that little Taoist priest. So, The heavy rain came and I was only a little bit wet.”

Another ordinary-looking escort leader smiled and said: "What's the matter, Xu Ying, do you think he is an innate master? Even the great masters in the subtle realm can't run for miles in the rain without getting wet."

Xu Ying said angrily: "I didn't say it. I suspected that this little Taoist priest had been hiding near here before."

The ordinary-looking escort continued to smile and said: "Not necessarily. He is a Taoist priest. He may not have any magical powers, or he may be the incarnation of a ghost."

"Okay, Xiangshan, don't quarrel with Aying. How can such a young boy be an innate master? When I was as old as him, I only practiced martial arts." Seeing this, He Dahai hurriedly Interjected first.

"Dad, that little Taoist priest doesn't look very powerful. Let's just pay attention." The arrogant beauty continued.

"I know, I'm just worried that he has an accomplice. The escort this time is actually not valuable. I also brought you Uncle Xu and Uncle He out, mainly because I wanted you to follow them to see the world. Yuqing, in fact, you You don’t have to be an escort. It would be great if you inherit this escort agency and marry a husband and raise children. Hey, I really shouldn’t have let you practice martial arts in the first place.”

"I don't want to marry those people. Either they are so weak that they can't beat me with one hand, or they are vulgar and disgusting." He Yuqing said while secretly looking at the young man in green over there. , if you don't have the power to tie a chicken, but you look like that young man, I will admit it, and the result will be nothing but crooked melons and cracked dates.

"Uh, girl Yuqing, you also found out that the young man in green has a problem?" Xu Ying saw He Yuqing peeking over there, and said happily, "He is very capable."

"Ah?" He Yuqing was confused.

Seeing this, He Dahai said to her: "Although the rain was so loud that I couldn't hear whether he used Qinggong when he came over, but when the young master came in, I observed his steps and movements. He was definitely a Lianjiazi." ”

"So, that young master may be a master?" He Yuqing said happily.

"Hey, I'm worried that he and the little Taoist priest are in the same group. I've seen too many tricks like deliberately not saying hello." He Dahai said.

"No, no, no, that young master has a good-looking appearance, and he seems to be a good person at first glance. That little Taoist priest had a sly look on his face, and just now he was secretly looking at me, wishing he could stab me with a sword." He Yuqing defended.

"Hey, Yuqing, good looks have nothing to do with being a good person. I have seen a flower-picking thief who looked upright." He Xiangshan said with a smile.

"Uncle He, that's different!"

The young man in green clothes over there seemed to have just arrived, at least unlike those in the escort agency, whose clothes were all dry and all his green clothes were dripping with water. But while the escorts were discussing him, he moved slightly towards the fire, then sat down cross-legged, and after a while his body began to smell white.

When He Xiangshan's bodyguard saw this, he sat up straight and said somewhat solemnly: "Boss, I think that young master's inner strength is deeper than yours."

He Dahai also said with a serious face: "Although I had some adventures and mastered the Eight Extraordinary Meridians at the age of forty, and I am considered a first-class master in the world, I am afraid that I still cannot be like this young master. This is at least It can only be achieved by opening up several small meridians. As for whether it is higher, I don’t know.”

"What, he didn't start practicing Kung Fu in his mother's womb, right?" Xu Ying said in surprise.

"Hey, those qualified children from big sects and big families have had countless medicinal materials and secret recipes for them to use since childhood, not to mention profound secret books. They are much better than people like us." He Dahai sighed.

He Yuqing was silent and looked over there with colorful eyes.

After a while, the young man in green clothes was completely dry, and then he stood up and walked towards the escort office.

PS: I have caught up with the progress. I will resume two updates a day, one at noon and one at night.
