It has just turned into night, and the young monk on duty is chatting away, leaning on his stick and looking at the dark cloudy night sky in trance.
I hope it doesn’t rain. The little monk was murmuring in his heart. He prayed in a low voice to the gods and Buddhas in the sky. It was unlucky that he was assigned to guard the pagoda at night. Not to mention it was boring, but the famous Huangfu was locked up inside.
If something happens to our little devil, how can a little monk like him survive it?
While he was chatting, he saw two people coming from a distance. The young monk had sharp eyes, and he immediately recognized them as disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.
The two people approached, and one of them came forward and clasped his fists, and said very politely: "I'm Huashan Qi Li, this is Hengshan Senior Brother Hu Qianzhong. We want to meet the people in this tower, and we also invite the young master
It’s convenient.”
The young monk hurriedly returned the gift and said in a somewhat nervous tone: "Uncle Xuanku has already given instructions. Donor Qi can do as he pleases."
After saying that, he took out the key and opened the lock, letting the two of them in.
After the door behind them was closed again, Linglong and Lu Hanjiang, who had easily entered the tower through the art of disguise, looked at each other and smiled, each with their own thoughts.
"I didn't expect that the Shaolin Temple family has such a great cause that they would send such a boy to guard the pagoda. Even if Huangfu Lingyun doesn't go out, people from outside will break in if they want." Linglong curled her lips and said with some disdain.
Lu Hanjiang smiled and said nothing. Linglong was careless and underestimated the enemy and could not notice it, but he could see it clearly.
The pagoda seems to be empty of defenses, with only one lowly young monk guarding it, but that is for others to see, but secretly there are many old monks guarding it, playing hard to get.
The two of them were wearing the skins of disciples of the Five Mountains at the moment. Even if they lowered their voices, these words were not suitable for conversation here. They sighed, picked up an oil lamp, and climbed to the top of the tower step by step.
Halfway through, I saw a ray of light coming from the top. When I got to the top of the tower, I saw Huangfu Lingyun staring blankly at the gloomy sky outside the sky window.
Hearing the noise, he turned around and took a look. He didn't feel surprised when he saw it was Qi Li. Now he was the only one who would come to visit him in this pagoda.
With this in mind, Huangfu Lingyun turned his attention to Qi Li, another young man he was not familiar with.
Qi Li, who was wearing exquisite make-up, imitated his tone and said, "This is Senior Brother Hu from Hengshan. I've known you since I was a child. Brother Huangfu doesn't need to be seen outside."
Hu Qianzhong, dressed as Lu Hanjiang, also cupped his fists and saluted at the right time: "I have admired the name Huangfu Young Hero for a long time, and today I finally meet him."
"Brother Hu is joking. Now that I am imprisoned here, how can I still be worthy of the title of knight?" Huangfu Lingyun shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly.
"That's wrong." Hu Qianzhong waved his hand and said solemnly: "What others said? It's up to them to have their say. How can I listen to what others say? Brother Huangfu can win over Brother Qi."
If you agree, you will naturally not be a treacherous and evil person."
Although Huangfu Lingyun lamented Hu Qianzhong's understanding, he did not want to drag him down and said bluntly: "Brother Hu, my reputation has been ruined. You still have a great future. If we meet here today, you will not be criticized by others in the future."
Linglong's eyes moved, and she suddenly sighed and said: "Brother Huangfu, don't you know, your father... Because your father has not been here for a long time, the Southern Shaolin could not suppress the excitement of the people, and actually decided to kill you first to comfort you.
The dead who died at the hands of your father."
After hearing this, Huangfu Lingyun's eyes flashed with complicated expressions. After several changes in his face, he finally showed some relief: "Okay, it's all over now."
Linglong also took advantage of the situation and said: "Brother Huangfu is innocent at first, but there are many people in this world who don't know right from wrong, even the abbot Lingkong... Alas, it is in vain that he claims to be compassionate, but he is so rude.
"
"Brother Qi, there's no need to say anything." Knowing that his death was imminent, Huangfu Lingyun looked away instead, his face no longer heavy, and he could faintly show a bit of lightness.
Seeing this, Linglong pretended to stop talking, so she changed the topic and said with a smile: "The situation now is really touching. More than half a year ago, that girl seemed to have ended up in the same situation."
Huangfu Lingyun was startled, then smiled bitterly and said: "You mean Miss Li? Oh, it's Miss Shang. Life in this world is really unpredictable. When I first persuaded Miss Shang, I never thought that one day it would happen to me."
business?
Linglong's eyes flashed and she struck while the iron was hot: "What Huangfu said is true, but I don't know how Miss Shang is doing now."
Huangfu Lingyun smiled optimistically and said: "Although Li Guishou is hateful, he is also a famous figure in the devil's way. The backup he left before his death will not be too embarrassing. Even if Miss Shang has to go to the capital,
Someone should take care of you."
Linglong said yes again and again, but unconsciously, her tone became a little anxious: "Oh, I was also at fault for what happened back then. If I can't apologize in person, I will feel really uneasy."
"You want to see her?"
Although he felt that Qi Li's reaction was too much, Huangfu Lingyun didn't think much about it for a while. After hearing the other party's words, his first reaction was to dissuade him: "Brother Qi, Miss Shang returned to the capital with the Jin Yiwei, and Lu Hanjiang is an official with thousands of households.
, you can't protect yourself, so if you go here, you will be trapped in a trap."
"I know too, but-"
Linglong said anxiously and put her hand on Huangfu Lingyun's shoulder.
It didn't matter what the match was. Huangfu Lingyun suddenly felt that the touch felt a little strange. He turned his hand inadvertently and was surprised to find that the palm was white and delicate, and it didn't look like a man's hand.
An icy chill rushed up his back, and his expression suddenly changed, and he asked Linglong angrily: "Who are you——!"
Fortunately, Linglong had quick eyes and quick hands, and she clicked on Huangfu Lingyun's acupuncture point. With a look of regret on her face, she said unwillingly: "What a shame, he saw through it at this critical moment!"
Lu Hanjiang said in an indifferent tone: "You have already leaked the truth. Keeping this person will be a disaster, so it is better to kill him."
"No."
Linglong rejected Lu Hanjiang's proposal without hesitation. She said, "Huangfu Yushu hasn't arrived yet. He is more useful alive than dead."
Lu Hanjiang suddenly smiled: "There are so many enemies in Xuehua Palace, and the Huangfu family also has issues with you?"
Linglong didn't say much. Under Huangfu Lingyun's extremely angry gaze, she pulled Lu Hanjiang and left: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's leave first."
Lu Hanjiang did not object and allowed her to lead them. The two of them quickly left the pagoda. Linglong had taken action just in time, but it did not attract the monks who were secretly guarding outside.
It's just that when the young monk delivers the meal tomorrow, he will definitely find something strange about Huangfu Lingyun. As long as the person who knows the secret is still alive, it is the biggest failure. It is only a matter of time before the secret is revealed.
Lu Hanjiang ignored the matter, but Linglong's face changed several times, and she finally gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
"Master Yue, Huangfu Lingyun will definitely tell the monks what happened tonight tomorrow. There may be hidden secrets from the Jin Yiwei in this Shaolin Temple. If they find out, it will be difficult for us to take action."
Linglong did not lead Lu Hanjiang back to the courtyard. Instead, she sneaked out of the Shaolin Temple at night and ran north. Lu Hanjiang did not say anything on the way, waiting for her next words.
The two of them ran all the way until the Shaolin Temple completely disappeared from sight, and then they heard her say: "I received news from Xuehua Palace that the army of Jinyiwei is hiding in the mountains and forests to the north. As long as we take advantage of tonight, they will
There will be no defense.”
Hearing this, Lu Hanjiang suddenly pulled her to a stop and said, "The girl is crazy. The place where the Jinyi Guards camp must be heavily guarded. You and I are going to die."
"To capture the thief, capture the king first."
Linglong gritted her teeth and said: "As long as we capture Lu Hanjiang, we can force the army to use rat weapons. Then we can take him and hide in the Shaolin Temple, and we can divert the disaster eastward!"
"This method of yours is too risky. Whether it succeeds or not depends not on man but on God. I must cherish my life very much." Lu Hanjiang refused decisively.
"Master Yue, please listen to what Linglong has to say."
Linglong stared into Lu Hanjiang's eyes and said, "Linglong knows that the young master likes to be carefree and does not want to be involved in such disputes, but the young master calls himself a businessman, and Linglong is confident that she will offer a price that satisfies the young master."
"Oh? Come and listen."
Linglong took a deep breath, took out a purse from her arms and said: "Here are three seeds of the birth-living flower. This flower can only be grown in the Valley of Death and Farewell in the world. This is a token of Bai Duo Weng. As long as you hold it,
Then you can go to the Valley of Death and ask the Hundred Poison Man to do something, whether it's killing people or saving people!"
Although Baiduweng was classified as a demon because of killing people, he is one of the best medical masters in the world. What is interesting is that before he became a demon, he killed countless people, and everyone avoided him, but after he became a demon, countless people
He spent all his money to seek medical treatment at his door.
Although Baiduweng is the best in the world with his poisons, his medical skills are indeed excellent. Although the prescriptions he prescribes are shocking and unreasonable, his ability to revive human flesh and bones is not unworthy of his reputation.
A token that can be used to ask for help from Baiduweng is equivalent to an extra life. The price is not cheap.
Lu Hanjiang finally relented. He accepted the three seeds, sighed deeply and said, "I feel Miss Linglong's sincerity. In this case, I will risk my life to accompany the girl to enter this dragon's den."
"Young Master Yue is so happy."
Linglong's eyes were filled with excitement. She pointed to the depths of the mountain forest and said, "Let's split up to look for Jin Yiwei's camp first, and meet here in half an hour."
"No need to go to such trouble."
Lu Hanjiang shook his head at her, then followed Linglong's example, and pulled out a small and exquisite crossbow arrow from nowhere like a magic trick. Under Linglong's extremely puzzled eyes, he pulled the trigger towards the sky.
Whoosh - a cloud-piercing arrow pierced the night sky, accompanied by a screaming sound and a bright meteor fire.
After a brief silence, under the gloomy night, the earth seemed to be shaking, and the approaching footsteps were like thunder. In the darkness, only the bright smile on Lu Hanjiang's mouth remained.
"I can't repay you for such a great kindness, so I won't bother you with the search for them. I can just call them here."
