Under the guidance of the man, the group soon arrived in front of a large house with white walls and red tiles by the river.
An old man dressed as a foreigner had already come out with everyone in the house to greet him.
"Welcome, welcome, all knights are welcome to come to slay demons and demons. I am very grateful."
The senior staff bowed to each other one after another.
Several young people had never seen this formation, so they quickly stepped forward to stop the other party and salute.
"Old man, we are too young to deserve your respect. It is better to take us to understand the situation first."
Ma Jingxuan quickly spoke.
"I have prepared all the news about Huayun Temple for you. You have come all the way and it has been a hard journey. Please come in first to have a rest and meet the other knights from the two factions. It is not too late to make plans again."
Although the old man spoke slowly and slowly, he was clear and coherent.
"Excuse me, please tell me, where are the other two factions?" Guo Zixuan asked.
"Um, he is a disciple of the Wanhua Sect and the Turin Sect." A quirky little girl beside the old man said.
The little girl looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slim figure and a pair of big eyes that seem to be able to talk. She wears a black dress that fits her waist and has a small black crystal doll on her long black shawl hair. She gives a cute look.
Playful and cheerful temperament.
So even if the skin is not very good, young people like Guo Zixuan who are just starting to have sex can't help but take a few more glances.
Lin Xin looked at the girl with a half-smile, she seemed to be the eldest lady of this mansion.
However, he could feel something strange. Thinking about it carefully, it was right. Being able to live alone and peacefully in this deep mountain for so long, this old house is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
The group of people was welcomed into the house.
Soon I saw the other two disciples coming out of the courtyard. There was only one person on one side, a young man with an indifferent expression and a knife on his back. He had a very clear word "Du" embroidered on his sleeve. He was obviously from the Turin Sect.
.
There are two women on the other side, one tall and one short. They both wear plain white long skirts embroidered with various floral patterns. Their hair is also wrapped in a bun with white silk mesh, and two long strands of hair fall down from their cheeks.
There were two green sheath daggers on each waist, which seemed to be used for close combat.
"Senior Brother Qin, someone is here again, it seems to be the Kunlin Sword Sect from far away." The shorter woman said softly. "It doesn't look like much, the Kunlin Sword Sect is quite famous no matter what.
, how come the disciples sent out are one fat girl and two young ones?"
The other woman's chin is very pointed. Although she looks good, she looks a bit sour.
"Junior sister, don't say that. The Kunlin Sword Sect has come all the way to compete with us. Maybe they have some real skills. Fake goods can't be hidden for a few days."
As soon as Ma Jingxuan came in, she could hear a strong smell of targeting. Without saying anything, she hugged her fists towards the senior brother from Turin Gate.
"Kun Lin, Ma Jingxuan, Han Yaolu, Guo Zixuan."
"Qin Ye at Turin Gate."
The cold-faced man responded with a faint fist.
Led by the old man and his granddaughter, the group entered the main living room. There was a plaque hanging on the living room that said "Fu Shou Qing Xin Nourishment". Inside, there were various peacock scrolls on both sides, one after another.
They are all male peacocks, and the peacocks' tails are colorful and extremely gorgeous.
"I love this thing, so I have collected a lot of it." The old man looked at everyone looking at the peacock picture in the hall, and he said with a smile while stroking his beard.
Lin Xin noticed that there were two other people in the hall, a man and a woman, sitting next to the man from the Turin Gate and the two women from the Wanhua Sect. They were obviously similar accompanying guardian masters.
He noticed that the woman was glancing towards him with interest. She was wearing a veil. She was wearing a close-fitting short skirt, all in milky white. Her legs were wrapped in purple-black stockings, and her deerskin boots extended to the hem of her thighs.
Deep down, it gives people an enchanting and mysterious inexplicable sex appeal.
Another male expert was obviously attracted to the woman. He kept scanning the woman's figure with the corner of his eye, and noticed that she was looking towards Lin Xin. The man also looked at him with some displeasure.
The three of them exchanged glances and looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.
After each had their tea, the maid left. The old lady also began to talk about the nearby Huayun Temple.
"About Huayun Temple, I have already told the knights of the two factions, and I will repeat it here for reference to the newly arrived knights of the Kunlin Sword Sect."
"Thank you." Ma Jingxuan nodded.
"Actually, Huayun Temple originally enshrined a statue called Shengyun Daojun. My wife and I also visited it occasionally, but one day suddenly, my wife said she had a nightmare and wanted to go alone.
One of us needs to pay homage to Taojun to ask for blessings. I was busy at the time, so I didn’t accompany her."
Having said this, the old man also sighed, with a look of exhaustion on his face.
"Later, my wife never came back, and the two maids and servants who went with her all disappeared."
"When we went over later, we saw the Huayun Temple vaguely in the distance. We couldn't get to the foot of the mountain, so we could only circle around. It wasn't until last month that this strange phenomenon disappeared, and all the knights came over in time.
Now, we can get closer, but it’s empty and there’s nothing inside. I’ve been searching for a long time but haven’t found my wife. That’s all.” The old man pointed to some books piled next to it.
"Here are the county records about the surrounding area. You can read and take them away as you like."
"My mother personally has a protective talisman. It is impossible for her to disappear without any movement." The elf girl's eyes darkened, but she obviously did not believe that her relative was dead.
Lin Xin didn't interrupt, he just looked at Ma Jingxuan and thought for a moment, then began to ask for details one by one, including information about Huayun Temple.
The same goes for the other two guardian masters, who only watched.
Out of boredom, Lin Xin simply closed his eyes in his seat and analyzed the Nine Injuries of Eternal Sleep. A secret book that could be recognized by Yuan Qiuque, the second swordsman in the world, must be outstanding. It can have a profound impact on the practice of sound.
It can be seen that this technique is very powerful.
After all, he himself has the only magic method, the Ring Sound Technique.
Unknowingly, after understanding the situation, Ma Jingxuan immediately suggested going to Huayun Temple for on-the-spot observation.
People from the other two factions didn't go, obviously they all went there.
Ma Jingxuan was impatient, so she simply packed her things, and together with the two Han Yaolu and Guo Zixuan, they planned to solve the problem as soon as possible and go back early.
The three of them planned to go directly to Huayun Temple immediately.
Lin Xin was noncommittal and simply followed him. He had a storage bag and had enough food and drink for a month without any problems.
The four people left the house and, led by a servant, rushed towards the nearby Huayun Temple.
***************
It was getting late, and the road was a bit bumpy. The servant took the four of them to a dark mountain, stood in the forest and pointed forward.
"Four knights are just ahead. That's the Huayun Temple there. The younger ones don't dare to go up there. The four of you should go on your own." The servant was walking in the dark woods with a somewhat expression on his face.
whitish.
It was getting late at this time, the sun was about to set completely, and from time to time, the hoot of an owl could be heard in the forest.
Ma Jingxuan didn't make it difficult for him and said, "Then you go back first. It's going to be dangerous to be alone at night in the dark."
"Thank you so much, Xia Nu, thank you Xia Nu!" The servant thanked him hurriedly.
Without waiting for anyone to say anything, he quickly trotted back towards the road and left.
Ma Jingxuan ignored him, but raised her head to look at the flowers on the mountain.
The Taoist temple is reddish in color and stands among the mountains and forests. It is surrounded by dense trees and grass. You can see from a distance inside the temple. It is overgrown with weeds and has been desolate for a long time.
"Be careful." Guo Zixuan took out a Zhengyang Talisman and held it in his hand. "I feel like there seems to be some resentment here."
"That means there may be resentful spirits?" Ma Jingxuan said seriously, "Our swords have been blessed with spiritual light to ward off evil spirits for two months. Don't be afraid. As long as we work together, it doesn't matter even if there are resentful spirits."
She comforted the two people who were a little frightened, but she secretly glanced at Lin Xin, feeling a little settled, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Xin couldn't help but recall the scene when he went on a mission for the first time.
The competition in Nanfu is far more brutal than here, with a very high death and injury rate, and there are no experts to protect them. Compared to him, the three little guys in front of him are much happier.
Follow the stone steps to the Taoist temple and climb all the way up the mountain.
The sky gradually became completely dark.
Soon the four of them arrived in front of Huayun Temple on the mountainside.
'The demonic obstacles are in heaven, but the practice is in me.'
A simple pair of wooden couplets hangs on both sides of the entrance. There is a horizontal inscription on it: 'Spirit and Spirit Unity'
There were gaps here and there on the horizontal plaque. It was dirty and covered with moss. It was obvious that it had been there for an unknown amount of time.
"We'll stay here tonight to see what's weird in this temple," Ma Jingxuan said directly.
"Isn't this good?" Han Yaolu hesitated, her face turning pale.
The inner wall of the Taoist temple is slightly red, and it is empty inside. Standing at the door, and looking in from the open door, you can see all the way into the dark and dark depths of the hall.
Sitting there was a statue of a female god with four arms. She seemed to be smiling but not smiling. A small part of her head was missing, and her lips were so red that they looked oozing.
"There is no reaction to the talisman. There should be no problem here. There will be no resentful spirits." Guo Zixuan said quickly.
"It's more dangerous for us to live outside. Not only do we have to worry about unknown threats, but we also have to worry about attacks by wild creatures." Ma Jingxuan explained. "Besides, don't we still have the Red Army here? Even if there is any trouble," Ma Jingxuan said.
Before she finished speaking, she felt something was wrong in the eyes of the two junior brothers and sisters. She quickly looked back and saw that Lin Xin was missing!?
"Exercise alone, I will come as soon as I go, don't worry about safety." A small voice penetrated into Ma Jingxuan's ears.
Her face, which was originally calm, quickly turned pale.
"Master Honghong, please don't scare me."
Except for the breathing of the three people, there was no other sound around.
Gu Gu
An owl hooted in the distance, making the forest even more dark and cold. (To be continued.)
