Sun Yichun jumped up and charged towards Lin Xiaodong.
Lin Xiaodong raised his sword to meet him, and the conflict continued for thirty rounds.
Sun Yichun was defeated, so he took a step back, shook his left shoulder, unsheathed the black-bone sword, and sprayed a stream of black smoke from the tip of the sword toward Lin Xiaodong.
Lin Xiaodong flicked his sleeves, and the nine-orificed exquisite stone flew away. With a loud sound, it hit the body of the black-bone sword and fell down.
Sun Yichun asked in shock: "Who are you?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "When you have achieved the true fruition, come and receive the incense!"
Sun Yichun glared at Lin Xiaodong angrily, flicked his sleeves and said, "Let's go!" He and Zhao Ruijuan turned into rainbows and left.
Lin Xiaodong entered the dilapidated room on the east side. The floor and walls were scorched black. There was only a dilapidated table, covered with incense ashes, and the incense burner was smashed to pieces.
Lin Xiaodong didn't care and sat cross-legged in meditation.
Three days later, there was a sudden heavy rain. Lin Xiaodong woke up and looked outside to see a vast sky.
Not long after, there was a rush of footsteps, and a young girl in floral clothes ran into the house with a vegetable basket on her head.
The girl didn't see Lin Xiaodong, adjusting her clothes and hair, muttering: "It's all wet!"
Lin Xiaodong called softly: "Miss?"
The girl was startled when she heard the sound. She turned around and looked back, only to realize that someone was already in the room. She hid outside the door and asked, "You?"
Lin Xiaodong said calmly: "The girl must be from Aikou Village."
The girl nodded timidly: "I am, you are?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "I am Lin Xiaodong, and I will stay here temporarily at Qingning Temple."
The girl looked into the room and saw that this place was worse than a kang hole. She stared in surprise and said, "You live here?"
Lin Xiaodong nodded.
The girl rolled her eyes and asked, "Then what do you do when you sleep at night?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "I will sleep sitting down."
The girl raised her eyebrows, opened her mouth, blinked, and nodded: "Oh..."
The rain gradually subsided, and the girl said, "My name is Hu Cuiling."
Lin Xiaodong nodded and said, "Miss Hu."
Hu Cuiling hesitated and said: "If you really don't have a place to live, why not come to my house."
Lin Xiaodong said: "No need."
Hu Cuiling nodded and walked down the mountain.
A few days later, in the afternoon, Hu Cuiling came back from selling vegetables and met Sun Zhangsong, Liu Shihong and Lin Hegu at the entrance of the village.
These three people were gangsters and unemployed vagrants in the village. Because Hu Cuiling was young and had only one grandmother in the family, she was often bullied.
When Hu Cuiling saw the three of them, she took a detour and left without saying a word.
But they followed.
Hu Cuiling saw something bad and ran away.
Sun Zhangsong and three others chased after her: "Cuiling, where are you running?"
Hu Cuiling didn't answer, but ran faster and faster, and climbed up Xinghua Mountain in one breath.
There was no one on Xinghua Mountain. Sun, Zhangsong and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, becoming malicious, and chased after us: "Cuiling, why did you bring us to this deserted place?"
Hu Cuiling shouted loudly: "Who said there is no one here?"
Lin Xiaodong came out of the room.
Hu Cuiling breathed a sigh of relief and hid behind Lin Xiaodong: "Look, there is someone here."
Sun Zhangsong and the others have never met Lin Xiaodong: "Who are you?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "I, Lin Xiaodong, want to stay here."
When Sun Zhangsong heard this, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and stared: "Who asked you to live here?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "I see that this Qingning Temple has not been taken care of for a long time, so I will stay here for a few days."
Liu Shihong shouted: "Get out of here, this is our Aikou Village's territory!"
Hu Cuiling said: "This is Xinghua Mountain, why is it the territory of Aikou Village?"
Lin Hegu said: "Next to Aikou Village is Aikou Village."
Lin Xiaodong smiled and asked: "You three are in charge of Aikou Village?"
Sun Zhangsong gritted his teeth and stared, and said fiercely: "The three of us can make the decision! Get out of here!"
Lin Xiaodong looked sideways and smiled scornfully: "What if I don't?"
Sun Zhangsong shook his fist: "Are you looking for a beating?"
Just hearing a clang, Lin Xiaodong's sword was unsheathed.
The three of them were stunned. Sun Zhang said, "Who are you trying to scare?" and took out a dagger.
Liu Shihong and Lin Hegu each took out a hammer.
Hu Cuiling panicked: "Don't do anything!"
Lin Xiaodong turned around and said, "Miss Hu, don't be afraid, stay away."
Hu Cuiling looked up and saw that this man's heart was as calm as water, calm and unpredictable, which made people feel inexplicably reassuring. She couldn't help but nodded and stepped back.
Sun Zhangsong roared and stabbed Lin Xiaodong with the dagger.
Lin Xiaodong dodged sideways and kicked Sun Zhangsong to the ground.
Liu Shihong and Lin Hegu hurriedly brought the hammer, and Lin Xiaodong cut it off with a sword.
The two of them stared at each other, threw the hammer in their hands and ran away.
Sun Zhangsong got up, pointed at Lin Xiaodong and cursed: "You dare to fight with me? You are finished!"
Lin Xiaodong made a gesture and struck with his sword.
Sun Zhangsong and the other three ran away without looking back.
Hu Cuiling couldn't help but smile: "I have never seen the three of them look so scared."
Lin Xiaodong said: "Miss Hu, don't go out alone in the future."
Hu Cuiling curled her lips and shook her head: "There is no way, my grandma is old and her legs and feet are weak."
Lin Xiaodong said: "I will take you home."
Hu Cuiling bowed: "Thank you just now. If it weren't for you..."
Lin Xiaodong said: "Don't worry, they will never dare to bully you again."
Hu Cuiling felt warm in her heart, nodded, and took Lin Xiaodong home.
Lin Xiaodong looked around and saw three small shacks, wooden fences, and the yard was full of vegetables.
Hu Cuiling stood in the courtyard and shouted: "Milk?"
Hu Cuiling's grandmother Luo Zhilan came out. She was in her eighties, with a white face and wrinkled face, and shabby clothes.
Luo Zhilan saw Lin Xiaodong and asked, "Who is this?"
Hu Cuiling said: "Hey, his name is Lin Xiaodong. He lives in Qingningguan now. He just saved my life."
Luo Zhilan was stunned: "Save your life?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "Miss Hu was harassed by the gangsters in the village, I just drove them away."
Luo Zhilan looked angry: "Is it Sun Zhangsong and the others again?"
Hu Cuiling took Luo Zhilan's hand and said, "Don't be angry, Master Xiao Lin will beat them away three times, five times and two times five times."
Hearing this, Luo Zhilan patted Lin Xiaodong on the shoulder: "Thank you so much for saving my granddaughter. My granddaughter is young and beautiful. How could you take advantage of those three grandsons? Little master, just have a meal here tonight!"
"
Lin Xiaodong declined, but the two of them couldn't help but repeatedly asked to stay, so they agreed.
Hu Cuiling cooked four dishes and only one meat dish, and set the table.
The three of them sat down around the table, and Luo Zhilan said: "Thank you for saving my granddaughter."
Lin Xiaodong said: "People who practice Taoism should be like this." Hu Cuiling said: "Didn't it rain that day? I went to the temple to take shelter from the rain. Master Xiaolin was inside. I didn't even see him. He even scared me. Today he was
Sun Zhangsong and the others were stuck on the road, so I hurried to Xinghua Mountain, and it turned out that
We're in the right place, I didn't expect Master Xiaolin to be so capable."
Lin Xiaodong said: "Thank you, Miss Hu."
Luo Zhilan asked: "Why did the young master come to Qingning to watch?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "There is no one operating the mountain farm here, that's why we came here." Hu Cuiling said: "There is no place to sit or stand in the temple, Master Xiao Lin is sitting inside."
