At that time, Sun Yixie held the trident in his hand horizontally, as if he was about to stab someone.
Huang Donglai also suddenly became alert from his just relaxed state, and his hand instinctively touched the hidden weapon in his sleeve.
"What?" Seeing this, the voice in the darkness sneered, "Ha... you broke in without telling me, and you still want to fight me?"
When the second sentence came into effect, the situation was different again.
Because hearing this meaning, the speaker was a monk, and combined with this environment, Sun and Huang couldn't help but think: Could it be that there are still monks staying in this ruined temple?
Just as they were hesitating, they heard a "click" sound and a spark lit up from deep inside the Buddhist hall.
The two of them took a closer look and saw that there was really an old monk standing there, holding a newly lit fire folder. His bare head looked particularly eye-catching in the firelight.
"Are you both mute?" The old monk said as he moved a few steps to the side and lit a few candles placed beside the altar.
The temple suddenly became a lot brighter.
At this time, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai saw clearly that the monk in front of them was in his early sixties, with gray beard and hair. He was wearing a very tattered blue-gray monk's robe, and there was a string of Buddhist beads that seemed to be made of iron hanging around his neck.
There was also a large cloth bundle at his feet.
"Uh...this master." Huang Donglai has a better cultural background, so he still has to negotiate at this time, "My two brothers were passing through here and happened to encounter heavy rain, so they came in to take shelter..." He said this
After a pause, he glanced at the surrounding environment through the candlelight, and then he cupped his fists and said, "We thought this was an abandoned temple, but we didn't expect there were still people here. We apologize for disturbing you."
"Yeah, that's right." Sun Yixie also put away the trident at this time and echoed, "Please forgive me."
In most cases, they are still reasonable people, and they don't think that showing off to an old monk is a big deal; they are old and a monk, so they should be polite.
The monk lit the candle, returned to his original place, sat down cross-legged on a futon, looked at the two of them up and down, then nodded and continued: "Well...it's quite polite, not bad."
After saying this, he seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but sigh, and then said: "Well, it's not easy for young people nowadays to have such a little tutoring."
Although the two parties have only spoken a few words in total so far, Sun and Huang have already vaguely felt that... the old monk's mouth is a bit damaged. Even the words of praise coming out of his mouth seem to be thorny.
of.
"Why are you standing there? Come and sit." Seeing that they were a little at a loss, the old monk took the initiative to call them to sit down. At the same time, he reached behind him and grabbed two shabby futons from under the incense table.
.
Sun Yixie didn't notice anything about his move, but Huang Donglai was more sensitive to the flow of internal energy and immediately figured out the trick - the old monk first used his internal energy to "suck" the two futons into his hands.
Then grab it with your hands.
Even though this operation is very inconspicuous, anyone who knows how to do it will understand that it is much more terrifying than shattering a big rock several meters away with one punch.
According to the common sense of martial arts practitioners in this universe, unless you have practiced some extraordinary martial arts that defy the heavens, otherwise, in order to "release your inner strength to the outside", you generally have to practice for more than ten years; to "transform it with Qi"
"Form", that is, the released internal power can continue to exist and be controlled freely for a certain period of time like an entity, which will take at least twenty years; and to achieve "absorbing the shape with Qi", that is, after the internal power is released externally, it can be controlled according to the user's instructions.
The intention does not cause any damage, but has various effects on the surrounding entities... This is the state where the internal force is invisible, soundless and colorless - this state is something that many people cannot reach after a lifetime of practice.
A master-level master can only touch the threshold of this realm. Once you cross this threshold, you will be a "super first-class" master. In one-on-one situations, you can stabilize the "first-class" ones.
Of course, there are no higher realms, that is, the "extreme" level; but there are only a few known masters in the entire martial arts world, and the information about them is basically a mystery, because no one can find out.
All their strength.
At this moment, Huang Donglai could tell at a glance that the old monk in front of him must be at least a "super first-class" master; this made him secretly happy: Fortunately, we didn't jump in his face just now, otherwise he wouldn't have killed us.
Just "teaching" us a lesson is enough for us to drink from it.
"Huh?" After just one breath, the old monk's expression changed a bit, and he turned to look at Huang Donglai, who had just sat down, "Oh, you kid, you still have some sharp eyesight."
Huang Donglai was shocked and thought: This old man can read minds? How does he know that I have seen his strength?
"What? You don't understand?" the old monk said with a smile, "Your heart rate and breathing are messed up, and you don't know it?"
When Huang Donglai heard this, he suddenly realized, but at the same time he was secretly shocked: "He knows all this kind of thing? Then he knows even if I fart?"
"What are you talking about?" Although Sun Yixie couldn't see through the old monk, he knew something was wrong when he saw the look on his brother's face, so he became alert again.
"Brother Sun." Huang Donglai had already thought of the old monk's identity at this time, so he said, "I'm afraid this senior is..."
"Yes." The old monk also knew that Huang Donglai had recognized him, so he interrupted directly, "I am the 'Iron Monk Yihuai'."
"Huh?" This was Sun Yixie's first reaction when he heard the name.
"What the hell?" Huang Donglai said, "Have you never heard of the famous 'Golden Beggar, Silver Dao, Bronze Confucianism and Iron Monk'?"
"Uh..." Sun Yixie hesitated, "I really haven't heard of it."
"Damn!" Huang Donglai was not so polite when speaking to Brother Sun, and did not need to be formal. "Then I will tell you now, the person in front of us is Master Yihuai, who is known as the 'Iron Monk' among the four masters."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Oh!" Sun Yixie then reacted, "The nickname is Iron Monk, and the Buddhist name is Yi Huai, right? Hey... I thought it was someone with the surname Iron Monk and Yi Huai.
Where is Yi Huai?" He said and looked at Yi Huai again, "I have admired you for a long time ~ I have no respect, I have no respect ~"
For a person who is so thick-skinned that he said "I haven't heard of it" in the first sentence and "I have admired you for a long time" in the next sentence, I don't know how to evaluate it. I just smile awkwardly, and I always feel that the effect of my master's registration number is to show off.
All were destroyed.
"Senior, this brother of mine is new to the world. If my words are offensive, please don't blame me." On the other side, Huang Donglai quickly said something for Sun Yixie.
Yi Huai would not argue with juniors like them, and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, I don't need you to tell me, I can see at a glance that you two are inexperienced in the world." He paused for half a second, and then said, "If you are traveling in the world,
A veteran, before coming in to take shelter from the rain, he will confirm the situation in the Buddhist hall before letting down his guard."
These words, even if they were imparting Jianghu experience, were indeed very useful, and both Sun and Huang also kept them in mind.
"Take me for example." Yihuai said again, "When I came here, I checked all the front and back of the temple. Not only to see if there was anyone ambushing me, but also to see if there were any traps or poisons.
Such threats; in addition, when a person spends the night in a strange environment, he cannot sleep deeply or light a lamp... These are all things you should know."
"Wait!" Sun Yixie heard something at this time and interrupted, "Master, you are not a monk in this temple, you are also passing by?"
"Yeah? What's wrong?" Yihuai asked.
"Then why did you act like we were breaking into your place when we came in?" Although Sun Yixie knew the other party's name, he didn't know the other party's strength, so he dared to ask such arrogant questions.
.
"Nonsense! In the empty temple, I came in first, so I am the master, and after you, you are the guests. Why don't you say hello to the master when the guests come?" Yihuai also didn't sound like an eminent monk at all when he spoke. He was very confused.
.
"Hey!" Sun Yixie still wanted to argue with the other party.
As a result, Huang Donglai rushed forward and covered Brother Sun's mouth: "Stop fucking talking to me! What's there to argue about?"
Huang Donglai, who knew the opponent's strength, was still thinking about flattering the old man and asking him to give him some benefits or something. How could he let Sun Yixie talk nonsense and offend the opponent.
"Pfft -" Sun Yixie pushed Huang Donglai's hand away, "Okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it. Why are you so excited? Have you washed your hands after going to the toilet? Why don't you cover my mouth?"
"How can I wash myself after being soaked in the rain for a long time?" Huang Donglai said angrily, "If you tell me again, do you believe that I will smear the sleeping pills on your face?"
"You've got the seed! I'm afraid you'll harvest it from me?" Sun Yixie started again.
As he watched the interaction between the two, Master Yihuai's thoughts fell into confusion... He felt that his initial impression of "these two people were quite polite" might be a bit off.
…………
Sun and Huang didn't quarrel for too long. After all, they were exhausted after traveling all day.
The two then introduced themselves to Yihuai and told them the destination of their trip; during the chat, they took out some dry food, ate some, and shared some with Yihuai.
In fact, Yihuai had not eaten anything all day before meeting them, and had only drank water. He was very grateful to be able to eat a decent bite of food now; but he is the kind of person who is kind-hearted and has a cruel mouth.
Type, you won’t say anything nice after eating other people’s food.
Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai didn't mind. After eating, they chatted with the old monk about their experiences along the way. In the end, they were really sleepy, so they each found a place with hay and fell asleep on a futon.
.
After they all fell asleep, I thought about it carefully and thought that these two boys were quite interesting, and judging from their actions along the way, they could indeed be called chivalrous people.
I thought to myself that it was fate that the three of them met here, and the two of them were "kind to me"; since they were going to attend the Young Heroes Association, I might as well help them secretly.
Thinking of this, he unpacked the baggage he carried with him...
