They were covered in injuries, and some of them were so deep that their bones were visible.
He looked embarrassed, as if he had gone through a life-and-death battle.
The man who had been held in the middle was the most seriously injured, with a knife wound that almost cut open his entire back.
"Second brother, third brother, leave me alone. You can run away."
"no."
The man in white clothes on the left interrupted him rudely, "When we became sworn brothers, we said that life cannot happen at the same time, but death can happen at the same time. If my brother lets us go now, wouldn't it be unfair to us?"
"What the third child said is that if you lose a bowl-sized scar on your head, you will still be a good man in the next life. But you must never commit an act of betrayal."
"Second child, third child, why are you waiting..."
"Brother, stop talking. There is a ruined temple in front of us. Let's go in and hide first. If we can't hide, we can fight here with those bald donkeys from Daluo Temple."
The three of them staggered through the bushes in front of them and entered the temple through the collapsed wall.
The whole temple is not big, with two courtyards at the front and back.
In the middle is the main hall for worshiping the gods, and at the back is the place where you usually live.
Most of the houses behind have collapsed.
On the contrary, the main hall in the middle is relatively intact and is mostly built of masonry. It is extremely solid and suitable for defense.
After a brief consideration, the three of them chose the main hall.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I smelled the rich aroma of meat.
Looking inside, a handful of firelight came into view.
"Brother, there is someone inside."
"Go and have a look first."
The three of them walked to the door and instantly saw clearly what was going on inside.
In the spacious hall, the Buddha statue collapsed and was in dilapidated condition.
But the middle was very clean.
A bonfire was crackling, illuminating the main hall and roasting the cleanly skinned yellow sheep until the juices flowed across them and the aroma overflowed.
A young man in a gray robe was sitting on the broken Buddha head, turning over the mutton that had been roasted into maroon color.
There was a long flag placed at his feet, and the four characters "Xuan Hu Ji Shi" on the scattered flag were reflected in the firelight, shining brightly.
The three of them exchanged glances, but no one knew anyone.
"Mr. Doctor, there will be a life-and-death fight here soon. You are an outsider, so you should run away for your life." said the eldest brother who was most seriously injured.
The person doing the barbecue was naturally Xu Rui, who was playing in the world and heading towards Zhongnan Mountain.
Although the terrain of the Shushan world is similar to the current world, it is a hundred times larger than the current world. He walked for more than a month without leaving Shuzhong.
However, he was not in a hurry and wandered leisurely along the way, occasionally staying in the deserted forest at night and getting rid of a few evil cultivators.
Although it didn't last long, he also gained the nickname of "the tricky miracle doctor" in the world.
"It doesn't matter if you run for your life. I see that the three of you are seriously injured. If you can trust me, I can take action to treat you." Xu Rui said with a smile.
He didn't know these three people, but it was admirable that he took the initiative to help them when the disaster was approaching. He didn't mind helping them.
The three of them have rich experience in martial arts.
As soon as he heard Xu Rui's words, he understood that the person in front of him was not simple.
The person in the middle pulled his arm back, endured the pain in his body, and cupped his fists in salute.
"Qilu Sanying and Li Ning are polite, may I ask your name?"
"Qilu Sanying?"
Xu Rui was surprised.
I never expected that I would meet Li Yingqiong and Zhou Qingyun's father in this ruined temple today.
"The three of you are Li Ning, the Divine Monkey, Yang Da, the Divine Sword, and Zhou Chun, the Flying Crane in the Cloud?"
"It's just the three of me."
Xu Rui cupped his fists and saluted, and said with a smile: "I have always heard that the 'Three Heroes of Qilu' are famous heroes in the righteous way. Since their debut, they have acted chivalrously, fought against the strong and helped the weak, which is really admirable."
"I don't dare. We are just trying our best in this chaotic world."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ning swayed, looking shaky.
"Brother!"
Zhou Chun and Yang Da were shocked and quickly supported him.
"It's okay, I can still hold on."
Xu Rui came over, looked at it briefly, and then flicked his fingers.
A ray of light sank into Li Ning's body.
In an instant, strands of heat flowed through the body, and wherever it passed, the pain was quickly relieved and then disappeared.
Even the scars on the back, which were deep enough to show bone, soon disappeared.
In just a few breaths, Li Ning, who was seriously injured and dying, had recovered as before.
He touched his body with disbelief on his face.
"I'm fine."
Not only that, he also felt that his internal strength had improved a lot compared to before.
Looking at the man opposite him, Li Ning bowed to the end.
"Thank you, senior, for saving your life. Li Ning will never forget it."
He regards Xu Rui as one of those beautiful beings in the spiritual world.
In fact, this is indeed the case. The total time from Xu Rui's practice to now is a hundred years.
He is indeed a senior.
"No need to be polite, just get up."
With a flick of his right hand, Li Ning was lifted up with a soft force.
With a wave of his hand, Yang Da and Zhou Chun's injuries were cured.
After the two thanked each other with surprise on their faces, Xu Rui invited them to sit down.
"You three are in such a mess, why don't you know why?"
Li Ning organized the language.
"I feel ashamed to say it. In order to avoid the war, the three of us moved our families to settle in Luzhou Prefecture, Jiangyang County, central Sichuan. We never thought that as soon as we arrived here, we would encounter the government and the vicious monks from Daluo Temple who oppressed the good people and occupied people's fields."
"...The three of us couldn't get any more angry, so we temporarily settled our children with friends and joined forces to attack Daluo Temple. Because we had thought that there were many masters in Daluo Temple, we were beaten by the monks protecting the temple before we even entered the inner courtyard of the temple.
Defeat, if it weren’t for the spiritual talisman left by a person from the early years, we would definitely not be able to escape the disaster this time.”
"I see. Listening to what you said, this Daluo Temple should not be far from here."
"It's thirty miles southeast of here." Li Ning said.
"It's so close, no wonder it came so quickly."
The three of them were stunned for a moment. Before they could figure out what he meant, they heard dense footsteps coming from outside.
"Hurry up, those three gangsters are destroying the temple in front, surround them and don't let them escape."
Fierce shouts came on the wind.
Li Ning and the others were shocked and sat up immediately.
Xu Rui smiled and waved.
"Don't worry, it's just a few fierce monks, it's not a serious problem. Just sit down and relax."
Li Ning and the other three sat down respectfully.
Xu Rui turned over the yellow sheep roasting on the shelf.
"Do you want to completely eradicate Da Luo Temple?"
"I can't even dream of it." Yang Da, who was outspoken, continued, "If it weren't for the oppression of Daluo Temple, the people of Pengshan County would not be living so hard."
Xu Rui smiled and nodded, and with a swipe of his right hand, three fist-sized pieces of mutton fell down and flew towards the three of them.
"Just eat it."
The three of them didn't know why, but the person in front of them had mysterious methods and could heal their injuries instantly. He was obviously a senior expert with extraordinary cultivation and skills.
Without thinking too much, I ate the mutton in a few mouthfuls.
At this moment, accompanied by the sound of heavy footsteps, a dozen monks wearing yellow monk robes and holding swords rushed in fiercely.
The leader, a monk with a fleshy face, big shoulders and a round waist, and a scar on his bare head, walked to the door of the main hall and stood still.
"Li Ning, Yang Da, Zhou Chun, I know you are inside. Come out, you can't run away."
"Senior, let us go out and kill him." Yang Da stood up and said.
After looking at him, Xu Rui nodded.
"Go ahead."
The three of them stood up and strode out of the hall.
Look at them walking like a dragon and a tiger, with rosy faces and full of energy.
The fierce monk at the front couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
"Impossible, how can your injuries be cured?"
"Bald Donkey, the three of us have our own opportunities, so I don't need to worry about you." Zhou Chun said loudly.
The fierce monk snorted coldly, "No matter what methods you use, if you are blocked by me this time, you will definitely die."
"Let's see what the moves are."
He yelled angrily, and smashed an egg in his hand that was as thick as a shovel.
The strong power carries a huge wind-breaking sound, and the power is astonishing.
The expressions of the three of them suddenly became serious. Back in the Da Luo Temple, they had experienced how powerful this fierce monk was. The iron Zen stick in his hand was powerful and powerful.
"Third brother, shoot him with a bee needle."
Zhou Chun shook his hands when he heard this,
Swish.
A ray of silver light was like cold electricity, flying over ten feet in an instant at an astonishing speed.
‘Aah’, a scream.
The fierce monk covered his chest and backed away, looking at Zhou Lang with disbelief on his face.
With a 'clang' sound, the iron Zen staff fell to the ground, and the fierce monk's body also fell straight down.
For a moment, the entire ruined temple became quiet.
"Third brother, you...?"
Li Ning, who was about to ask the reason, soon saw Zhou Chun with a shocked face.
"Third brother, why did your bee sting suddenly become so powerful?" Yang Da was straightforward and didn't think too much.
"I don't know either."
When Zhou Chun took action, he felt a stream of heat billowing from his body, and then the speed of his bee needles increased ten times.
"Kill them to avenge Third Senior Brother."
After the surrounding monks reacted, they surrounded him with swords.
The three of them ignored the search for the reason and hurriedly fought.
Li Ning was born with hands longer than his knees, so he practiced all kinds of boxing and kicking skills, including the arm-threading magic fist, which earned him the nickname "the arm-threading ape" in the world.
At this moment, I naturally used my best boxing technique.
One punch.
Boom.
Amid the crackling sound of wind, an almost solid fist phantom flew out like lightning.
He directly beat the fierce monk who rushed towards him into a pulp.
This violent and brutal scene not only frightened the monks who gathered around him, but also Li Ning himself.
Yang Da seemed to understand something and violently waved the thick-backed golden sword in his hand.
Swish.
The chain-like sword flew several feet away and was chopped into two pieces by a fierce monk.
The powerful power is more than ten times stronger than before.
Seeing how ferocious they were, the monks around looked at each other and dispersed.
The three of them didn't give chase.
He turned around and walked into the main hall, looked at Xu Rui who was tasting the mutton, and bowed down.
"Thank you, senior, for your help."
They are not stupid.
The only person who could make such a big change for them was the enigmatic senior in front of them.
"No need to be polite, just get up."
After the three of them got up.
"The right way is to eliminate evil. Since the Daluo Temple is harboring filth and evil, you should go and clean it up."
"Senior, don't worry, the three of us will eradicate this evil temple that is harmful to people."
They may not have had confidence before, but now that their strength has greatly increased, it's different.
"I'm waiting for your good news."
After the three people clasped their fists and saluted, they strode out, and the sound of their footsteps quickly faded away.
Just as he was about to continue eating his mutton, a strong smell of blood came from outside.
He frowned.
With a wave of his right hand, a flame burned out of nothingness, quickly incinerating the surrounding corpses.
After becoming bright and clear again, Xu Rui nodded with satisfaction.
Tear off a leg of lamb, put it in your mouth and taste it slowly.
"The sheep grown in this spiritually rich place are different and taste more delicious."
Something moved in my heart.
A stone platform grew out of the ground.
Xu Rui put the roasted yellow sheep on top.
He stretched out his right hand, and a space passage appeared. When he took his hand back, there was already a stack of pumpkin cakes.
Then use a bone plate to hold cumin, chili noodles, sweet noodle sauce and other condiments, as well as lettuce.
I took a pumpkin pie and laid it out, put mutton and various sauces on it, wrapped it up and put it in my mouth.
As soon as you chew it, your mouth will be filled with fragrance.
"This is the enjoyment."
"correct."
Stretching out his hand, another space passage emerged.
When he took it out, a wine bottle appeared in his hand.
He peeled off the cork and took a sip.
"A mouthful of wine, a mouthful of meat, this is called life. I really missed too much in the past."
Xu Rui sighed.
"Well, it's already here."
Something moved in my heart.
An illusory figure came out of the body.
After leaving three feet from his side, it suddenly solidified and turned into the appearance of Xu Rui.
He stretched out his hand to grab it, and the cloth banner next to him flew into his palm. With a step, his figure disappeared instantly.
"Qilu Sanying, the fate is quite good."
If they hadn't met him, the fate of the three of them would not have been good tonight.
He shook his head and continued to drink and eat meat.
The separated clone had already flown thirty miles away with the Taiyi Staff and arrived at a large temple built halfway up the mountain.
This mountain temple is so big that it has six entrances and seven spans, covering an area of no less than a hundred acres.
Even in the dark, the temple is brightly lit.
Groups of monks armed with swords and torches patrolled.
This place doesn't look like a temple where people eat food and chant Buddha's name, but more like a bandit's den.
Although Qilu Sanying received the blessing from Xu Rui and greatly increased his strength, he did not rely on force and recklessness.
He activated his light body technique and used the cover of shadows to escape into the mountain temple.
Seeing this, Xu Rui shook his head.
They might not be able to notice it if they weren't monks, but he could sense that the inner courtyard of Daluo Temple was covered with a layer of formation.
Although it is very simple, it is enough for the three people who have not yet entered the spiritual path.
"You two good brothers, please be careful."
"Don't worry, brother, there will definitely be no mistakes this time." Yang Da vowed.
Thanks to the gift of that senior, their cultivation has increased more than ten times, and with their combat power greatly increased, he is very confident to defeat Daluo Temple.
Li Ning opened his mouth and swallowed the words that came to his lips.
Although his combat power has also improved, if he is careless because of this, he can easily capsize in the gutter.
But he understood Yang Da's character, and it was useless to say more at this time.
"When the fight starts later, please keep an eye on me."
After reciting it, he shouted in a low voice.
"Walk."
The three of them stamped their feet at the same time, and their bodies flew straight towards the inner courtyard like a stream of smoke.
Before they landed, a series of bells suddenly rang.
The expressions of the three people changed drastically, and they secretly said, "Not good."
Following the shouts and questions, a short, fat monk wearing a yellow cassock rushed out of the monk's room.
He was holding a sword in his hand and a big black gourd hanging on his waist.
"The demon monk shall die."
Yang Da shouted angrily, choked, pulled out the thick-backed golden sword, and slashed out violently.
The sharp sword light spanned three feet and slashed down like thunder.
The strength of this short and fat monk was obviously higher than that of the previous fierce monk. He waved the sword in his hand repeatedly, and the layers of sword light actively met Yang Da's golden sword.
Although it was quickly shattered by the golden sword, it successfully escaped the scope of the golden sword's light.
It seems they have bad intentions.
The short, fat monk slapped the black gourd on his waist, and the thing that was originally only the size of a basketball suddenly enlarged several times.
Buzz buzz...!
Accompanied by the sound of dense wings flapping, streaks of black light flew out of the gourd, turning into a black cloud in the air in the blink of an eye.
[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here.]
This dark cloud spread over half an acre, like a burning black flame, leaping and frightening.
The short and fat monk smiled coldly.
"Let you taste the power of my poisonous fire bee."
Make secrets with your hands and mutter something in your mouth.
The swarm of bees quickly flew towards Yang Da.
Li Ning's expression changed.
"Second brother, come back quickly."
Both palms were waved out in succession.
The swaying palms were like wild waves, rushing straight towards the swarm of bees.
For a moment, the momentum of the swarm was suppressed.
"What?"
The short and fat monk had a face full of disbelief.
My own poisonous fire bee is an immortal method, how could it be blocked by a few uninitiated warriors?
"Haha, brother, this guy's abilities are mediocre, don't be afraid."
Yang Da laughed loudly and held knives in both hands.
“Look at me ‘supporting the willows in the wind’.”
The golden sword in his hand slashed continuously, and layers of sword light flew past like lightning.
The sharp sword energy collided with the bee swarm, and thousands of poisonous bees fell down.
Seeing this, Li Ning moved his hands in circles.
"Iron arms block the river."
With a roar, a pair of solid fleshy palms penetrated the bee swarm with violent energy and hit the fat monk unstoppably.
The latter flew out like a sandbag and directly smashed the wall of the hall.
Zhou Chun, holding several bee stings in his hands, sighed. The fight was over before he could fish them out.
Yang Da swung his knife repeatedly and chopped off the swarm of bees in mid-air.
"Who is acting wild in our Daluo Temple?"
In the hoarse and rough voice, a dark red escaping light flew over from the backyard like lightning.
When I got closer, it actually floated in the air.
Li Ning and the other three saw this in their eyes, and their expressions instantly became solemn.
Even the reckless Yang Da knew that the monk in front of him, who was as skinny as a bamboo pole, was difficult to deal with.
After looking at the dead bees on the ground, the bun on the monk's forehead that was shaped like a third eye turned red.
A cold breath filled the air.
"The second brother's 'Poison Fire Peak' can't do anything to you. He does have some abilities. But that's the end of it."
"What kind of bragging can a thief monk do? I'll have to defeat your second grandfather first." Yang Dahong said in a loud voice.
The monk's eyes turned cold.
"court death."
His right hand shot in the air.
boom!
A palm as big as two feet appeared out of thin air and struck down on the three of them like a mountain.
Li Ning saw this in his eyes, took a deep breath, took two hurried steps forward, his shoulders dropped and his elbows dropped, and his inner energy exploded.
The tyrannical energy transformed into an ape nearly one foot tall beside him.
Li Ning clapped his hands, and the ape outside his body also swatted away.
With a 'boom' sound, two huge palms came forward.
The three palms got closer and closer and collided violently.
It's like a clear sky with thunder and lightning.
The shock caused the entire Da Luo Temple to tremble.
boom!
Under the powerful force, Li Ning's feet suddenly sank three feet down, and the green bricks within a ten-foot radius exploded instantly.
The skinny monk in mid-air also took three big steps back.
Before he could calm down.
The sharp but hidden sound of breaking wind came.
It's not good to say something secretly.
Under the influence of magic power, the originally soft monk's robe suddenly bulged like a ball.
Chi chi chi…!
One by one, long needles like cow hair flew over like a violent storm.
It's Zhou Chun's bee needle.
As the third among the "Three Heroes of Qilu", apart from Qinggong, he is also the most proficient in concealed weapons. After Xu Rui gave him a blessing and his skill greatly increased, he even exploded with astonishing power.
As soon as the bee sting fell, Yang Da had already slammed out the golden knife in his hand.
The sharp sword light stretched for three feet, like a giant sword slashing down.
The continuous offensive is deadly every time.
Just when the light of the sword was about to fall on the monk's head.
Buzz.
The sword roared into the sky.
A mottled sword light shot into the sky from the monk's arms.
In just a moment, Yang Da's sword light was shattered.
It rushed towards him like lightning.
"Flying sword!"
The three of them were shocked.
Although this is the first time they have seen this legendary thing, they have heard many rumors about it.
Yang Da waved his knife repeatedly.
Exploding with all his strength, the tyrannical sword energy was like a huge wave, blocking in front of him.
Li Ning and Zhou Chun also attacked from the left and right.
The three of them joined forces and actually blocked the flying sword attack.
At this moment, several red threads suddenly flew out from the monks standing several feet behind the three of them. They were as fast as lightning, but strangely made no sound.
When it looked like the three of them were about to be attacked.
A green spiritual light shone down.
The flying sword with red threads and auras was instantly frozen.
"You are a late-stage Jindan monk, but you used a magic sword to sneak attack on three uninitiated martial arts cultivators. You really don't even have the dignity to do so."
The clear voice made everyone look up subconsciously.
In the bright firelight.
A tall young man wearing a green robe, a silk ribbon around his waist, Dorman shoes on his feet, and a cloth banner in his hand appeared in his eyes.
Li Ning, Yang Da, and Zhou Chun looked at it and looked overjoyed.
"senior."
After nodding to them, Xu Rui turned to look at the monk below.
"It's already here, there's no point in hiding anymore."
After feeling his gaze, a middle-aged monk wearing a yellow cassock, with nine scars on his head, a flat nose and a wide mouth, and a fleshy face walked out from the crowd.
"Amitabha, Zhiyun, the third disciple of the Golden Body Arhat Fayuan Sect, has met my senior."
"Golden Body Arhat Fa Yuan is your master?"
"Exactly."
"Is Zhitong, the abbot of Ciyun Temple outside Rongcheng, your senior brother?"
"That's my second senior fellow apprentice."
"Who is your senior brother?"
"Zhi Lin, the host of Shangfang Temple outside the city of Shu Zhongshan."
Zhiyun answered one by one.
Seeing that Xu Rui knew so much about his family's affairs, he thought he was his master or an old friend of the Wutai Sect.
My anxious heart also relaxed a little.
But what the other person said later made him instantly nervous.
