"Huh? Why did the big tree in the yard fall down?" This was the voice of the fat man Zheng Xu.

"Yeah! Huh?

Why is there a big hole in this wall?"

"Why is the temple gate broken?

Oops! Nothing will happen to Ajin, right?!

Ajin...Ajin..."

“Hey, hey!

Yang Jin, are you okay?

Why did you get up?

Ouch, what else is so fragrant?"

Early the next morning, following a burst of shouting, Zhao Qing, Zheng Xu and others hurried into the ruined temple.

When I looked at it, I saw Yang Jin sitting right next to the campfire, cooking something unknown in the clay pot he used to cook rice every day. The smell was strange, like stewing chicken.

Jiang Yuqing and the little mute Su Rou also ran in.

In addition to them, there were two young people, a man and a woman, following them, both in their twenties.

The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful and well-dressed, they should all be martial arts people. The man holds a sword and the woman holds a piano.

Jiang Yuqing and others also changed into new clothes and washed their bodies and faces. They no longer looked like beggars before.

If Zheng Xu and Zhao Qing hadn't yelled before, Yang Jin wouldn't have recognized them for a while.

"Yang Jin, I just disappeared for one night, why did the temple suddenly become like this?!

Why is the roof leaking?

Why did the statue on the shrine fall down?

And you, why are you getting up too? Are you healed?

Where did the chicken here come from?..."

Zheng Xu asked Yang Jin like a barrage of questions. He didn't expect that the temple would change drastically after not seeing him for one night. He was very curious about what happened last night.

Yang Jin did not answer immediately, looked at the two strangers, and asked Jiang Yuqing: "Sister Yuqing, are these two...?"

"Oh, Yang Jin, I forgot to introduce you. This is Brother He Mingxiu from Hanshan Sword Sect, and this is Senior Sister Tong Xueyao from Miaoyin Valley.

Brother He, Senior Sister Tong, this is the Yang Jin we are talking about.

Yang Jin, come here and meet Brother He and Senior Sister Tong!"

Jiang Yuqing introduced the three of them to each other.

"He Daxia! Tongnuxia!"

Yang Jin came over and greeted the two of them. He didn't know how to salute, so he could only cup his fists like in movies and TV shows.

At the same time, he felt a little strange about Jiang Yuqing calling Tong Xueyao his senior sister.

"He Daxia! Tongnuxia!

You two heroes, haven't you two eaten yet?

This is freshly cooked chicken soup. If you don’t mind, can you two try it?”

Yang Jin cupped his fists and saluted the two of them, then asked for a bowl of chicken soup for them.

He Mingxiu declined with a smile, "Oh, Brother Yang, no need!

We have already eaten in the morning.

I came here today just to accompany Yuqing and the others back to see you!

You can eat it yourself, there is no need to entertain us!"

"Zhao Qing, Zheng Xu, have you all eaten too?

Oh, I’ve eaten everything, so you’re welcome, I’m really a little hungry.”

Yang Jin turned around and asked. Seeing everyone nodding, he stopped forcing himself and started eating directly from a clay pot without using a bowl.

Zheng Xu couldn't help but swallowed when he saw that Yang Jin was eating so deliciously, "Ajin! Is the chicken you stewed delicious?

Also, why is there only one clay pot for cooking rice, and where is the other one?"

Although he had eaten in the morning and was quite full, he was still a little greedy when he saw Yang Jin eating so deliciously.

I had already said everything, so I was too embarrassed to ask directly, so I could only ask politely, hoping Yang Jin would understand.

“This chicken! It’s so delicious!

Why don't you try a piece of it? Here it is!"

Yang Jin saw what he was thinking and directly picked up a piece with chopsticks and gave it to him, "What about the clay pot?

When I was killing the chicken, it accidentally broke."

"Mmm! It smells so good! It's delicious!

Ajin, where did your chicken come from?"

Zheng Xu asked while eating: "Also, what is going on in this temple?

Why did half of the roof collapse? Why did the statue of the god also collapse?

And why did you get up by yourself? Are you okay?

Sister Yuqing also asked Tong Nuxia to come over and check on your condition!..."

Zheng Xu is still the same as before, talking too much and can't shut up even when eating.

Only then did Yang Jin know why Tong Xueyao and the others came back with Zhao Qing and the others.

"Thank you, Sister Yuqing! I sweated profusely last night, and I'm all healed now!

Thank you for your concern, Tongnuxia!

It's just that all my illnesses have been cured now, so I don't need to bother Tong Nuxia any more!

Besides, I’m too dirty and it’s inconvenient!”

Yang Jin first thanked Jiang Yuqing and Tong Xueyao, and then refused Tong Xueyao to see him.

He had taken the elixir from the big man named Lu last night, and now that his body was full of energy and blood, he naturally did not dare to let Tong Xueyao check it.

Seeing that Yang Jin's face and energy were good, Jiang Yuqing nodded, "That's fine! Since you're already well, there's no need to bother Senior Sister Tong!"

By the way, you haven’t said anything about what happened in this temple last night?”

"Don't worry! I'm really hungry too. I wanted to tell you after I finished eating.

However, if you want to know so much, I will tell you while eating.

Actually, I don’t know what’s going on in this temple!”

Everyone wanted to hear Yang Jin tell what happened last night, but they didn't expect Yang Jin to give such an answer.

Seeing everyone's disbelief, Yang Jin said in a serious tone: "Really! I didn't lie to you!

After you left last night, I felt a little cold, so I drank all the wine Zhao Qing gave me.

After finishing the drink, as soon as the alcohol got stronger, I fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up today, the temple was like this. When I woke up in the morning, I was honestly confused!

The roof above the shrine collapsed, the statue fell down, the temple door was gone, the tree was broken, and there was a big hole in the wall.

I don't know how to do this?

It's like this when I wake up in the morning.

Maybe it was because of drinking. I was sweating profusely. As soon as I woke up today, my illness was completely cured and I could get up on my own!

As for the chicken I ate, I picked it up in the yard in the morning.

There was nothing to eat, so I had to stew it.

No, you guys are here just after the stew is finished."

Yang Jin told several people the lies he had made up long ago without changing his expression.

His current principle is to ask three questions without knowing anything. After all, the more he talks, the more mistakes he makes.

If you don't know what's going on, then you don't have to worry about making up lies!

"Well, looking at the traces in this temple, it's obvious that someone from the Jianghu took action here last night!"

After hearing this, He Mingxiu carefully inspected the dilapidated temple door and the holes in the wall, and then said with experience, "I guess the person who did it is pretty good at martial arts.

You see, such a thick tree was broken directly with hands, and the holes in the wall were made by people, or from outside.

Brother Yang, fortunately you fell asleep last night and never woke up.

When they saw that you hadn't moved, they thought you had fainted or died, so they didn't take action against you.

otherwise……"

He didn't say the next words, but everyone in the room heard it.

Otherwise, Yang Jin might be just a corpse today.

After hearing this, Zheng Xu and others exclaimed how lucky they were, and were even frightened for him.

It is said that Yang Jin is really a good person, and he can escape the disaster in a daze even after being drunk.

"Okay! Stop talking about me.

Why didn’t you come back last night??”

Yang Jin was afraid that if they asked again, he would make mistakes if he spoke too much. So he decisively changed the subject, asked the question first, and shifted the topic and attention to Zhao Qing and the others.

"Oh! Here's the thing, Junior Sister Yuqing didn't come back last night because she had already joined the Valley of Wonderful Sound and submitted herself to my mentor. She became my fellow Junior Sister.

My master left her to rest in the inn all night for safety!"

Before Zheng Xu and the others could speak, Tong Xueyao, who had been silent, explained to Yang Jin. Her voice was clear and melodious, and it was very nice to hear, "When we were eating this morning, Junior Sister Yuqing said that you were sick and begged me to find a doctor for you.

Doctor, take a look.

It just so happens that I am somewhat good at medical skills, and I have to protect my junior sister here, so I just wanted to help you take a look at it. I didn't expect that your illness is completely cured!

Brother He’s purpose should be the same as mine, and it should be...".

Before she could finish speaking, a gust of wind suddenly blew through the temple. Tong Xueyao suddenly wrinkled her nose, stopped what she was going to say, and asked, "Why is there a smell of blood in this room?"

She had been covered up by the smell of chicken soup just now, but now a gust of wind happened to blow by, and she suddenly smelled the smell of blood in the room, which was not only strange.

"It's all chicken blood!"

Yang Jin pointed to the place where the statue collapsed, where there was a pile of chicken feathers, and emphasized: "It's all chicken blood that was released when the chickens were killed and their feathers removed."

Pointing to the blood stains on the wall, Tong Xueyao asked: "Since it is all chicken blood, how come there is still blood on the wall?"

“It was my first time to kill a chicken because I had no experience and my technique was not skillful. When I killed the chicken and bled it, I didn’t catch the chicken properly. It flew all over the house.

This is how chicken blood got everywhere!"

Yang Jin pretended to be a little shy and embarrassed.

In fact, most of the blood stains on the wall were sprayed by the big man when he was about to die. In order to cover up the blood stains, Yang Jin also sprinkled a lot of chicken blood on it.

Tong Xueyao nodded when she heard this, "So that's it!"

Although she still felt that there was a lot of blood on the wall and the smell of blood seemed a bit strong, she did not ask any more questions.

It seemed that because of the smell of blood in the house, she was a little bit hysterical and didn't want to stay in the house for a long time, so she went out alone.

He Mingxiu of Hanshan Sword Sect seems to want to find out what happened in the temple last night.

Walking around randomly in the temple, he came to the collapsed statue and touched the collapsed statue with his sword scabbard. He felt something was wrong.

There he said to himself: "This statue is really strong. Even if it fell from such a high shrine, it was only cracked and not broken at all.

And there are no broken pieces of the statues around, which is really strange!

And why is this statue so big? It looks like it’s not much smaller than this shrine. How can it fit in this shrine?”

As he spoke, he knelt down and took a closer look at the statue that had fallen on the ground.

Yang Jin's heart skipped a beat when he saw the sword scabbard that He Mingxiu touched on the statue, but his expression did not change and he still ate meat and soup as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't hear what He Mingxiu said clearly.

Now seeing He Mingxiu squatting down to inspect the statue, Yang Jin naturally couldn't let him actually do it, otherwise the secret would be exposed. He suddenly asked Zhao Qing loudly, "Zhao Qing! Yesterday you said that Mr. He was nice to you.

The Mr. He you are talking about is Daxia He, right?!"

Without waiting for Zhao Qing to answer, he directly asked He Mingxiu who was about to attack the statue: "He Daxia, yesterday Zhao Qing said that your Hanshan Sword Sect might open its doors to recruit disciples. Is this true?"

"Oh, this is true! Our sect will indeed recruit some new disciples recently!"

He Mingxiu originally planned to check if there was anything strange among the collapsed statues, but when Yang Jin asked, he couldn't help but stop, "What, Brother Yang, do you also want to practice martial arts?

Do you also want to join our faction?"

"I do want to practice martial arts, but I don't know if I can do it?"

"Since you want to practice martial arts, let's first look at your qualifications.

This guy's bones are not good enough, but he can't practice martial arts.

In that case, let me help you find out what your qualifications are."

He Mingxiu seemed to be a very enthusiastic person. When he was interrupted by Yang Jin, he no longer delved into the abnormalities of the statue. Instead, he came over to examine Yang Jin's bones.

"Then... Then I'll trouble you, Master He!"

Yang Jin took a breath and thanked He Mingxiu.

Just now he saw He Mingxiu going to inspect the collapsed statue. On the surface, he pretended that nothing happened, but in fact he was panicking and his palms were sweating.

It was only now that He Mingxiu came over to check his qualifications that he put his anxious heart back into his stomach.

"Brother Yang, are you hot?

Why are you sweating like this?"

"It's a bit hot. Maybe I ate too quickly just now!"

When Yang Jin heard He Mingxiu's words, he felt that in just a few short breaths, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Just now, his brain was spinning rapidly, and he had been thinking rapidly about how to stop He Mingxiu from moving around on the statue, and he didn't even notice the abnormality in his body.

The reason why he was so nervous was because the body of the big man named Lu was currently hidden in the collapsed statue.

Naturally, he couldn't just watch He Mingxiu mess around!

Last night, Yang Jin was helpless in front of the big man's corpse, but suddenly he had an idea and came up with a good idea.

"Since the mountain can't come, I'll go to the mountain. Since the big man's body can't be moved, chopped, or burned, then I'll cover it up with something else."

Seeing the statue on the shrine, he immediately had an idea.

That is to dismember the statues on the shrine and cover them on the corpse of the big man, which is equivalent to putting a layer of earth armor on the big man.

In this way, when others see the collapsed statue, they will not think that there is a corpse inside.

To be on the safe side, Yang Jin also used the old man's tattered clothes to bring a lot of soil from the yard to cover it.

Not only that, in order to make everything look more natural, he also deliberately collapsed the roof above the statue.

Make it look like the roof collapsed due to heavy rain and the statue of the god was poured down.

"I didn't expect He Mingxiu's eyes to be so poisonous. He could see something wrong with the statue at a glance.

It seems that we should seize the time to destroy the corpse and eliminate the traces. Covering it with a statue can only be used for a while, not for a lifetime. There are too many flaws and it is too unsafe!"

Yang Jin secretly made a decision while being pinched and slapped by He Mingxiu.

In fact, it is not Yang Jin's fault that He Mingxiu saw the flaw in the statue. In fact, the time he used to clean up the mess and cover up the traces was too short and too hasty!

It not only had to hide the body of the big man before the rain stopped at dawn, but also covered up the blood stains everywhere in the temple that the big man sprayed when he died.

He even went to steal a chicken in the middle of the night in the rain in order to cover up the smell of blood on the big man's body and the blood stains in the house last night.

Thanks to the original memory of this body, I usually do a lot of stealing chickens and dogs, and I know exactly who owns chickens, so I stole one during the heavy rain.

Unexpectedly, the statue looked like it had been knocked down by the heavy rain, but it was not smashed. And because there was a nearly two-meter-long corpse of a big man hidden inside, it looked much bigger.

Only then did He Mingxiu, who was jealous, see a flaw.

After He Mingxiu scratched and patted Yang Jin, he said to Yang Jin pleasantly: "Well! Your martial arts qualifications are pretty good, above average.

You can come to our sect and give it a try, and hopefully you can become my fellow disciples."

"Zheng Xu, Zhao Qing, what about you? You have pretty good qualifications, right?"

Yang Jin seemed very happy that his qualifications were good, and said to Zhao Qing and others: "Since my qualifications are not bad, let's go to Hanshan Sword Sect together to try it out!

Sister Yuqing has also joined the Miaoyin Valley. If the remaining four of us can also join the Hanshan Sword Sect, we can learn martial arts together in the future.

We can still be together as we are now, fighting swords and doing chivalry and justice together! How wonderful!"

At this time, the expressions on the faces of Zheng Xu, Zhao Qing, and Jiang Yuqing were very strange. They were a little embarrassed and embarrassed. They hesitated to speak, but in the end, the three of them did not speak.

"What's wrong with you? Is what I just said wrong? Or is there something wrong? Your qualifications are not good enough?"

Yang Jin was a little strange. Tong Xueyao came here to treat her illness. He Mingxiu also came with him today. Apparently Zhao Qing, Zheng Xu and others also joined Hanshan Sword Sect.

But looking at the troubled expressions on their faces now, could there be something going on?

Tong Xueyao heard the conversation in the house from outside and knew the dilemma Zheng Xu and the others were in. She came to the rescue and said, "Some things cannot be explained clearly in just a few words. This is not the place to talk. If you have anything to do, go to the inn where we are staying and talk about it."

"

After that, he turned to Yang Jin and said with some disgust: "Besides, Yang Jin, you really should change your clothes.

Look how dirty it is! Now that you are full, if you want anything, go to the inn to wash up and change your clothes."

When Yang Jin saw her before, he thought she seemed to be a bit mysophobic, but he didn't expect it to be true!

Yang Jin looked at the clothes he was wearing and saw that they really needed to be changed. They were dirty to begin with, and now there was a large amount of blood stains on them. The blood was from the man named Lu, or he had splashed it on his clothes last night to cover up the man named Lu when he was about to die.

blood, chicken blood that was deliberately added.

Yang Jin and the others are all beggars and have nothing to deal with. Jiang Yuqing and the others came back mainly to treat Yang Jin, and now Yang Jin is cured.

Of course, we have to return to the inn where He Mingxiu and the others are staying.

In order to prevent He Mingxiu from continuing to find the body of the man named Lu in the temple, Yang Jin certainly had no objection. The group of seven people soon arrived at the inn where Tong Xueyao and the others lived, which was called "Hongsheng Inn".

Tong Xueyao and He Mingxiu seemed to have a large number of people and wanted to be quiet. They did not stay in the guest rooms in front of the inn, but each rented two courtyards behind the inn.

He Mingxiu led Yang Jin to wash up in the kitchen in the yard he rented.

This time, Yang Jin scrubbed away almost all the oil and dirt accumulated on her body until her skin turned red and was about to peel off.

The frizzy hair on the head was also carefully washed with soap locust.

It took three basins of water to wash myself completely.

Putting on the new clothes that He Mingxiu had prepared earlier, Yang Jin felt refreshed and comfortable.

Zheng Xu saw that Yang Jin had finished washing and led him to the side room of the small courtyard.

Zhao Qing, He Mingxiu, Jiang Yuqing, and Su Rou were all in the room, but Tong Xueyao was missing.

Yang Jin thanked He Mingxiu first, then found a chair and sat down.

When He Mingxiu saw everyone sitting down, he went straight to the point: "Brother Yang, the reason why I also picked you up and brought you together is because there is something that I want you to make your own choice about.

You should have also heard what Zhao Qing said yesterday. A big event happened in Pingyang City recently, that is, the martial arts treasure "The Secret of the Golden Chamber" suddenly appeared here. In fact, this is also the reason why we came to Pingyang City.

Yesterday, I had a fate with little brother Zhao Qing, and I saw that he was born in a lonely life, but he was smart and clever, and his qualifications were not bad. It also happened that our sect recently wanted to open its doors to recruit disciples.

So I talked to him a little more.

Unexpectedly, last night the four Zhao brothers suddenly came to visit together, wanting to join our sect together. This sect originally wanted to recruit a wide range of disciples, so it is natural to welcome young talents who come to learn skills.

By coincidence, when Zhao Qing and the others came, two other famous seniors in the world were also guests here.

After these two seniors saw them, they also started thinking of recruiting disciples.

So after some testing by the teacher of our school and these two seniors, they were very satisfied with the basic character of three of their friends.

This was originally a happy thing for everyone, but it’s difficult to make both ends meet. One thing actually makes the three of them a little embarrassed now, but...just..."

He Mingxiu seemed a little embarrassed at the end, but there was nothing more to say for a long time, as if he didn't know what to say next.

Yang Jin listened and felt strange, "Four people came, and three of them are satisfied, which means that one of them is not satisfied.

But who is dissatisfied?"

Thinking of this, he glanced at Su Rou and Zheng Xu, "It's a certainty that Jiang Yuqing has entered Miaoyin Valley.

And He Mingxiu had a good impression of Zhao Qing, so it would be no problem for him to join the Hanshan Sword Sect.

Since there is nothing wrong with these two people, of the remaining two, Su Rou and Zheng Xu, Su Rou is disabled and Zheng Xu is clumsy.

I just don’t know which one of the two has the problem?”

When Su Rou saw Yang Jin looking at her, she smiled sweetly, looking innocent and carefree. At this time, she was holding an apple and chewing on it.

Looking at Zheng Xu again, he had a bitter look on his face, a mixture of worry and joy, and an uncertain expression. Seeing Yang Jin looking at him, his eyes were a little dodgey, and he lowered his head, not daring to look directly.

"It seems that the one with the problem is Su Rou, not Zheng Xu!"

When Yang Jin saw Zheng Xu's expression, she knew that her guess was correct and that the problem was Su Rou.

But he still had some questions that he couldn't figure out, so he asked He Mingxiu, "He Mingxiu, with all due respect, is there no senior who likes Su Rou?"

He Mingxiu nodded and said: "Yes. It is true that Su Xiaomei cannot join our sect, and the other two seniors cannot accept her as a disciple."

"Because her right hand is disabled and she can't hear?"

He Mingxiu nodded.

"Even if you are literate, you still can't be accommodating, right?

He Mingxiu still nodded and did not answer.

"Can't we take her back to the mountain together? Do we need someone to stay and take care of her?"

Yang Jin thought of the embarrassment on the faces of Zheng Xu and others, and had some vague speculations in her heart.

"Brother Yang is really smart and knows the smallest things!"

He Mingxiu didn't expect that Yang Jin was so smart, and he guessed the difficulty in just a few words, "It's true!

Due to some reasons, Su Xiaomei is not only unable to learn martial arts, but she is indeed unable to be brought to live with us in the sect."

Yang Jin nodded, but still had some questions, and asked: "Why can't Su Rou come along and be taken to live in the sect?

Not everyone in your noble sect can practice cultivation, right?

Couldn't servants live there too?"
Chapter completed!
