Mysterious Martial Arts: The Record of the Swordsman

Chapter 186

"Shang Kexi, this time, I really plan to put a long line to catch big fish..."

The ancient trees in the other courtyard of Guangxiao Temple are towering, and they are even more vicissitudes in the rainy and cold fog. Jiang Wen leaned on the bell tower and watched from a distance. There are many vague shadows.

The murderous intent hidden in the Myrobalan forest is self-evident, reflecting the cold light like a sharp blade in the night.

Jiang Wen made a detour to come here just to take a look and confirm whether the situation in Guangxiao Temple is as different as he had guessed, and then he can go to the place he really wants to go with peace of mind.

This matter is very important, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

The circumstances of Shang Kexi's assassination are unclear. After careful investigation, there are not only the deliberate concealment of the Pingnan Palace, but also the shadowy shadows of Jiang Hu's actions.Those in high positions are usually unwilling to directly offend these desperadoes, they just don’t want to be on guard against sudden cold arrows from the dark, so Shang Kexi kept the martial arts figures secretly in other courtyards for torture, probably to draw out the real assassin.

If it is said that in the previous Fuzhou City, Jiang Wen felt that it was a chess game, but now it is a fishing game under the unclear water in Guangzhou Mansion. Waiting for prey to bite.

If real martial arts people came here today, they have never been afraid to sacrifice their lives, and they would naturally splatter five steps with blood in a panic, just to make Shang Kexi's face dull-but in Jiang Wen's eyes, breaking into Guangxiao Temple like this What can be done?

Should he save the martial arts people to make the "Gentleman's Sword" more famous, and write the word "Xia" with the blood and tears of the people in the city?Or should he hold the assassin's head and flatter Shang Kexi after finding out the truth about the assassination, so that he can step up to the top by stepping on the corpses all over the floor?
On a bigger scale, he could even break into the Chinese army's camp with one sword and one man, and the owl is still gratifying to have his head hanging above the city tower, but what about the next step? Will the tragedy of the two kings entering Guangdong ten years ago still repeat? , Let Guangzhou Li Shu once again be reduced to a sea of ​​blood.

If he was given enough time, Jiang Wen could have done things more beautifully, properly and calmly.

Jiang Wen's original plan was to use various means to suppress Pingnan Palace, and took the opportunity to let Jingnan Palace extend its hand here.

As long as his "good apprentice" Geng Jingzhong can succeed to the throne, the city of Guangzhou will one day be placed under his wings without bloodshed. Afterwards, the Geng family relied on the strategy of "raising the bandits for self-respect" and contacted the big rebel Zheng Chenggong. One body, there is no doubt that Bingxian can be resolved invisible, and it is not impossible for the Qing court to feel the threat of "mutual protection in the southeast" in advance.

But there is too little time left for him, everyone in this city seems to be in a hurry, as if there is a ticking sound hanging high in the sky above Guangzhou City, constantly coming from the cloud of lead, so that Jiang Wen does not need to look up You can see that in the dark clouds, there is a ferocious figure poking out its sharp claws...

"Why are they in such a hurry..."

Jiang Wen said to himself, looking into the distance again.

Now Guangxiao Temple is surrounded like an iron barrel, and the palace is full of ambushes, and what kind of net has been laid, but what Jiang Wen is most concerned about is the Red Barbarian Firearms Battalion in Dulao Sankou.At this time, even though it was found that the number of people was only 30 to [-], it still did not reassure him.

In other words, the appearance of Hongyi firearms awakened Jiang Wen far more than Shang Kexi's assassination itself.

Regarding the firearms of this era, even though Jiang Wen has not come into contact with them head-on, he more or less knows the real power, and he is still sure to seal his throat with a sword before the opponent fires. After all, the popular matchlock guns at this time are not only limited in power, accurate The temperature is not high, and you still need to rely on the weather for food, and you will get stuck sadly when it encounters wind and rain.

But Hongyi's firearms are the guns provided by the Dutch East India Company. It is likely that they have entered the age of flintlock, using the upgraded spring wheel muskets. The ammunition can be fired quickly by hammering the flint, which greatly improves the shooting speed and concealment.

For Jiang Wen, although such a weapon may not necessarily pose any threat, it is enough to cause great harm to ordinary martial arts practitioners. Death is not far away.

If such weapons are equipped in large quantities, even if they can escape from the city of Guangzhou, people from Hong Wending, Yan Yongchun, and Yuan Ziyi will never be able to escape the concentrated fire, let alone the civilians in the city.

Jiang Wen doesn't like to walk around, but the particularity of the era he was born in brought him information processing ability and associative ability far surpassing that of people in the Jianghu. Many important information have clearly come to mind.

Hongyi means the entry of the Netherlands, the Netherlands means the Dutch East India Company, the Dutch East India Company means maritime supremacy, and the Dutch have been competing with the Zheng family for the maritime supremacy for more than ten years. The humiliation of being defeated by Zheng Zhilong, and at this time the two sides are about to meet each other for Penghu and Taiwan...

With reminders from himself and Chen Jinnan, Zheng Chenggong's vanguard is likely to be confronting the Dutch.At this time, the Dutch Hongyi secretly negotiated the song with Shang Kexi in Guangzhou, most likely in order to drive away wolf and tiger, and work together to strangle Zheng Chenggong's maritime forces.

Because in Jiang Wen's eyes, Zheng Chenggong's survival is not only related to the implementation of his southeast plan, but also means the future of that isolated overseas territory.

The Qing army's cavalry conquest was terrifying enough, and the Dutch Hongyi's fleet siege just made up for the Qing court's inexperience in water warfare. Such a dangerous situation is chilling. In an already precarious situation, another knife was put on the neck
——Perhaps this was the reason why the assassin wanted to assassinate Shang Kexi regardless of his disregard.

In the cold night, his eyes flickered coldly. Jiang Wen had already prepared for the worst. If Zheng Chenggong was defeated because of his butterfly effect, then even if there would only be a lonely family left in the future, he, Jiang, would cross the sea with a knife and a sword, and take the place there. Take it back whole!
A gust of cold wind and rain rushed towards his face, causing the flames in Jiang Wen's eyes to slowly fade away, and finally turned into a deep sigh.He knew that although Guangxiao Temple was the culprit, the key to finding out the truth was not here.

The sound gradually fell silent, Jiang Wen was hidden for a while, the soldiers were ambushed, and the wind and rain were blowing all over the place.The night rain in front of me is as clear as the world's observations, but the Cangshan Mountain in the distance is as dull as an old monk. There is only one figure who is restless, thinking deeply, listening to everything in the world.

That is the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva enshrined in the bell tower.

A clay sculpture is bowing its head and bowing its head in silence, holding a vibrating tin stick in one hand and suddenly opening the gate of hell, and holding a mani orb in the other to shine on sentient beings. Mysteries of the world.

There are many pillars in the corridor, and Jiang Wen couldn't help but think about the great virtue of this Bodhisattva, and at the same time, he sighed how to cultivate such supernatural powers, so as to avoid the hardships of wind and rain. , There is also a "Mani Orb".

It's a pity that the Mani Orb in my hand is just a poisonous disaster, and I am like a blind man feeling an elephant in the Saha world. When I came to the Ming and Qing rivers and lakes, I had never met Sakyamuni Buddha, and told myself to live in Shakyamuni. After the death of Jia and the birth of Maitreya, he exhausted all sentient beings and rescued all sufferings.

But there are some things that need not be said.

After Jiang Wen left Guangxiao Temple, he went straight north.

…………

There is a magnificent mansion at the foot of Yuexiu Mountain. In front of the screen wall, it is spacious and flat enough to park many carriages and horses. Outside the gate is a pair of two-foot-tall white marble lions standing on the left and right sides of the gate. A few feet, firmly grasping the east-west direction.

Further inside, there is a main entrance with three entrances, all of which are painted with large copper rivets inlaid with red gold beast copper rings.

But what is strange is that in such a magnificent mansion, a piece of flat field suddenly appeared. The half-acre field is separated by rows of ridges, and the ridges are full of various crops, which makes people suddenly enter a small farmhouse by mistake. hospital.

At this time, every vegetable sprout is covered with rainwater, as if it is greedily sucking nutrients, eagerly waiting for the spring to thrive.

I saw a simple thatched hut built on the open space, barely big enough to shelter from the wind and rain. Li Xinghe, dressed as a magician, was huddling in the room in his silk robe, pushing a hand grinder absently, with a burnt fire under his eyelids. Pot of hot water.

This hand mill is made up of two grinding discs, the upper one is thicker and heavier than the lower one. This is for the need of pressing the abrasives firmly when grinding. A small hole with an inch square is drilled in the wall of the upper grinding disc. At this time, Li Xinghe In a daze, he deftly filled the mill hole with full-grained soybeans, and soon a pure white new pulp flowed down and slowly poured into a large bowl.

"Really Li is so elegant, I really can't guess."

A voice sounded from the depths of the empty room, so frightened that Li Xinghe almost knocked his hand grinder to the ground. He turned around and looked at the corner of the room behind him, only to find a figure standing still with a half-smile.

Li Xinghe only hesitated for a moment, and instantly remembered the owner of this voice, and at the same time, he also remembered his appearance of killing people without blinking an eye while talking and laughing.I saw that cold sweat broke out from his forehead immediately, but he sat still.

"Hero Jiang...how do you..."

Before Li Xinghe could finish speaking, Jiang Wen interrupted him.

"Why didn't I get stopped by the master ambush at the door?"

Jiang Wen smiled, the rain on his body was still dripping slowly, but there was no trace of water on the dry land beside the thatched hut, as if he appeared in front of Li Xinghe out of thin air, "I don't even know that level of skill." As for looking at it."

Li Xinghe didn't seem to know how to answer, but Jiang Wen took the initiative to explain the knot in his heart.

"Really Li, don't be offended. We didn't know each other before, and we had a friendship of giving generous gifts. Besides, I have recently closed the sword and retreated and cannot use force. I will definitely not harm you."

The identity of Jingnan Prince's Mansion is well protected, enough to paint Jiang Wen with a color that is neither black nor white, making it hard to figure out why he came here.

"I came here just to ask something, Master Li, don't hesitate to enlighten me."

Li Xinghe was silent for a moment, and then he said to Jiang Wen with relief: "In this case, please sit down, Mr. Jiang. Although Li is shallow and ignorant, he must know everything."

When he spoke, he took the initiative to lower his voice. At this time, two strong men and Taoist boys dressed as farmers were working in the dark in the field not far away. They couldn't notice that there was another person in the room. Li Xinghe's move was also a voluntary expression Goodwill, to prove that he would not take the initiative to expose Jiang Wen's existence.

The boiling water in front of him was already boiling hot, Li Xinghe motioned Jiang Wen to sit down in front of him, his expression and voice seemed to predict that someone would come.

"Hero Jiang is here for the assassination of Prince Shang, right?"

Jiang Wen sat down safely, looked at him smiling and said nothing.

"You're not going to ask me how I know?"

Li Xinghe added a piece of firewood with some self-mockery, and clumsily almost extinguished the fire, "Because, ah, this matter was originally planned by me, of course I know how you guys will react."

Li Xinghe's words were unremarkable, as if he just did a small thing of serving tea and water, and he didn't care about the meaning behind these words at all.

Jiang Wen couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and said in a low voice, "Realist Li really has a funny conversation. Could it be that you have been going against the Qing for a long time, and it is gratifying that you deliberately bowed down and approached the assassination, but in fact, you are a loyal minister in your heart. ?”

"Will you believe me when I say that?"

Li Xinghe looked at Jiang Wen with helplessness and sadness in his eyes.

"Hero Jiang, there is no need for me to lie to you now. This matter was planned by me alone, and Lord Shang also nodded in agreement, but there was a little trouble in the middle..."

Li Xinghe spread his hands, pointing at the surrounding houses with bare walls.

"Otherwise, as a real person, Li Xinghe, how could I be reduced to living in a grass hut and self-sufficient?"

Li Xinghe told Jiang Wen that in fact, the so-called assassination incident three days ago was originally a trick he offered to Shang Kexi as the mastermind.

Shang Kexi knew that since the formation of the three feudal clans, countless people wanted to break this situation, whether it was for promotion, revenge or a share of the pie.But now that the Geng family's power is gradually becoming stable and the Wu family's contributions are immeasurable, he, Pingnan King, will undoubtedly become the focus of attention, and his every move will hinder countless eyes.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Pingnan Palace has become the weakest link in this chain.

Shang Kexi has lamented more than once that the city of Guangzhou is a volcano, maybe today, maybe tomorrow, but there will be a moment when the sky will collapse and the earth will collapse, when the time comes, he, Pingnan King, will definitely be blown to pieces and be destroyed forever.

But Li Xinghe saw Shang Kexi's worry, so he offered a plan to pretend to be assassinated, hoping to use this opportunity to blow up the evil people in the city, and then take the opportunity to catch them all, so that he can rest easy in the future.

But on the day when the plan was implemented, Shang Kexi also went to Guangxiao Temple to offer incense early as planned. At this time, the assassin who arranged to act disappeared, but a group of murderous real assassins appeared around, and one of them drew his sword and slashed along the way. It was unstoppable, and Shang Kexi was almost beheaded by the sword.

"So you let King Pingnan pretend to be assassinated, and he was almost killed in the end?"

Jiang Wen couldn't believe this statement. After all, this kind of thing was undoubtedly caused by inner ghosts. Only the real assassin could have such an accurate grasp of Shang Kexi's whereabouts.

So here comes the question, who would be the one who knew the news clearly and reported it?
Jiang Wen looked at Li Xinghe.

Li Xinghe said with a wry smile: "So I can't explain clearly. I proposed the plan and arranged the place. Zen Master Tianran and I are the only ones who know about it clearly. is that useful?"

From this point of view, it was indeed obvious. First of all, there was no doubt that Li Xinghe was the most suspected.

The biggest possibility of the whole thing is that he, Mr. Li, wanted to murder Shang Kexi with ulterior motives, and he almost succeeded in the way of Meng De offering a knife. What's more frightening is that if he really succeeded that day, then Shang Kexi's death would have to happen no matter what. Count it on him.

The other suspect is Natural Zen Master, after all, Natural Zen Master also knows about this.

But he would rather save Shang Kexi with his body against the sword. Afterwards, he took the responsibility for leaking the secret on himself, and discouraged Shang Kexi from expanding the arrest without distinction. In this way, the suspicion of the natural Zen master was minimized.

After Jiang Wen thought about it, there was another person who knew about this matter——Shang Kexi himself.

But how could Shang Kexi assassinate himself?Where did the dark art of war master offer his head?
"Really Li has been wronged, it's obviously not your fault."

Jiang Wen patted him on the shoulder unceremoniously, "If you do this by yourself, it will be like the lice on a monk's head. Whether it will be successful or not will be a dead word in the end."

Li Xinghe waved his hands quite freely.

"Prince Shang naturally knew about this matter, so he spared the villain's life. It's a pity that this plan was initiated because of me. The death penalty can be avoided, and the living penalty cannot be escaped. I can only be punished to work here."

The Shang Kexi in Li Xinghe's mouth is quite interesting.

Shang Kexi told him that the crime this time was too great to be offset by credit, so he first rewarded him with a few bags of brown rice, soybeans, pickled vegetables and bacon, and ordered that in the next year, all the people in the Pingnan Palace and even in Guangzhou City will be punished. No one can sell him a grain of grain, and those who disobey the military order will be killed without mercy. He must only be self-sufficient and farm for a living.

"Hero Jiang, there is nothing to entertain in my humble house, now only the tofu I made by myself is left, do you want to taste it together?"

Li Xinghe was reduced to a hut, his previous fame and wealth were all wiped out, but now he has the appearance of a somewhat accomplished person, neither humble nor arrogant in his words and conversations, which has reduced the previous appearance of being servile and flattering .

Li Xinghe lifted a piece of gauze, revealing the gypsum tofu he just made. His eyes were white and tender. He took out a piece and threw it into the boiling water. The tofu quickly rose and fell in the pot, emitting a smell of tofu. The unique fragrance of the product.

Li Xinghe picked up the bowl and looked at the pot eagerly, and his stomach growled unapologetically, "Fortunately, I learned some tofu skills in my early years, otherwise I would eat brown rice with boiled beans every day, and within ten days and a half months, my intestines would be rotten." I have to eat and wear."

The snow-white tofu was cooked as soon as it was boiled in hot water. Li Xinghe immediately opened another clay pot, took out the fermented pickles and put them into the pot to boil together.

Seeing that the heat was just right, Li Xinghe hurriedly filled a bowl for himself, and sighed repeatedly while eating, "When the spinach in my yard is ready to fry, the jade-like spinach tofu will taste better."

After speaking, he swallowed sleepily, and ate up the tofu.

"Nonsense, spinach tofu shouldn't be doing this."

Jiang Wen looked at the gypsum tofu floating in the pot, took a bowl and said, "After boiling the spinach, soak it in ice water to preserve its color and sweetness, then drain the spinach and cut it into overlapping pieces before kneading it It is columnar, with white sesame on one side and fresh sauce on the other side, so it is delicious when eaten with tender tofu."

Li Xinghe sighed in admiration while scooping up the tofu in the pot, "Unexpectedly, Hero Jiang is so knowledgeable. I will definitely try this method when the spinach harvest is plentiful, and then I will ask you for advice!"

Jiang Wen took a sip, and felt that the mouthfeel was extremely smooth. Apparently, even though Li Xinghe was trapped in a thatched hut, he was not less disciplined. Only by carefully sifting the soy milk over and over again, could he have such a smooth taste.

"Everything in the world has the same principles. The more ordinary the dish, the more it shows the chef's skills. The more ordinary the boxing method, the more it shows the skill of a person."

Jiang Wen put down the bowl after eating, and felt a little regretful looking at the empty hot pot.

Li Xinghe was still savoring it carefully, as if he couldn't let go of the delicacies in front of him, and he sighed inexplicably after a long time: "Jiang Daxia is called the 'Junzi Sword' by people in Jianghu, and he really behaves like a gentleman, don't you worry about me taking the opportunity to poison you? "

"Poison? Is it necessary?"

Jiang Wen looked at him disapprovingly, but opened his mouth to say something that made him shudder.

"I know that Master Li wouldn't kill you just because of a slight suspicion, just like when you helped Prince Shang secretly excavate the ancient tomb of Nanyue Kingdom, he didn't take the opportunity to kill you."

With a bang, the bowl in Li Xinghe's hand fell to the ground, but Jiang Wen took out a very familiar jade huang from his arms.

"Really, you should be very familiar with this thing, right? In my humble opinion, this thing and the Fang Zhuyu Cup sent by His Royal Highness Shang that day should all be brought out by you from the tomb of the Nanyue king, right?"

Jiang Wen's voice was very low, but every word was clearly audible. Every time he took a breath, the horror in Li Xinghe's eyes increased. It wasn't until the last word dissipated in the air that the smile on Li Xinghe's face slowly faded away. resurfaced.

"Hero Jiang really has good eyesight."

Li Xinghe actually admitted it generously, "It's ashamed to say that I just realized that I am no longer a real Li, so naturally I don't need to be decent. To be honest, I traveled with Master in Jianghuai and learned all kinds of skills, but let me The hero laughed."

"Then this skill of making tofu is also learned from Master?" Jiang Wen asked curiously.

Li Xinghe shook his head and smiled wryly: "That's not true, I learned this craft from my family, but I only remember the basics of farming and cooking."

Jiang Wen turned to look at him.

"Prince's superficial ability can make King Pingnan value real people so much. I don't think King Pingnan is greedy for those people with bright weapons, antiques and strange alchemy?"

Li Xinghe said noncommittally: "Hero Jiang, there are some things that I don't have to hide now, so I'm not afraid of you knowing. In addition to seeking a treasure land of geomantic omen in a hundred years, Mr. Shang is also very interested in the ancient ruins of Guangzhou City. I'm showing off my might, but I just want me to find something good."

Li Xinghe may have been imprisoned for a few days, and he was quite disheartened, but seeing Jiang Wen now, he talked about other things like beans in a bamboo tube.

"There are too many strange things in this Guangzhou mansion. The old prince Shang must have seen it with his own eyes and hoped that I could find out the truth. Not to mention anything else, look at the plain Xianggang Mountain and the incense-filled Town God's Temple, all over the city Liumaiqu, the deserted Kuang Family Ancestral Hall, the Nanhai Temple where the tide is flat and the sea is vast, from Zhao Tuo City to Guangzhou City for thousands of years, who knows how many unexplainable treasures are hidden under this city? thing……"

Li Xinghe spoke more and more vigorously, pointing to the shadow of the tree outside the door in the wind and rain, "The tomb of the Nanyue king has not been found yet, and I found that even the lush myrobalan forest in Guangxiao Temple, the old prince Shang is always frightened every time he goes there , if it were not for the liberation of the natural Zen Master Dharma, I would have never lived peacefully every night."

"For peace of mind? King Pingnan excavated the tomb of the Nanyue king for this matter? How did you know the location of the king's tomb?"

Jiang Wen obviously couldn't believe this statement.

Li Xinghe said triumphantly: "The reason for this is that it has been recorded in "Tai Ping Guang Ji" long ago, but it's just that people in the world are sloppy in reading and don't get the point."

Before the words fell, Jiang Wen suddenly said: "Then King Pingnan is now stationed in Guangxiao Temple?"

His expression was well controlled at first, and he started telling stories to distract Jiang Wen's attention, but this kind of thing has happened to him before, how could Jiang Wen be fooled again now?
The moment Li Xinghe heard these words clearly, he closed his mouth like an electric shock, and there was a look of fear and anger in his eyes, but the answer was self-evident.

Jiang Wen's face showed a clear expression, Shang Kexi was there indeed, he was worthy of being a vassal king who was killed in a sea of ​​blood and corpses, and he dared to sit in a dangerous situation just after the assassination, so as to respond to all changes with the same, this approach is actually Let those who still want to assassinate him be cautious, and dare not step into this conspiracy.

"Really Li, I have something else I want to ask you for advice, I hope you can answer me truthfully."

At this time, Jiang Wen no longer concealed his glamorous appearance, and slowly asked the question he had prepared in his heart for a long time, "Who is the person King Pingnan fears the most? Do you know this inside story, so that you can let him know?" Will King Pingnan, who is more than ten thousand people, obey his advice?"

Beads of sweat began to roll off Li Xinghe's forehead. Facing Jiang Wen's oppressive eyes, he seemed to have returned to the scene of the day at the Beidi Temple, and his speech was not very fluent.

"Hero Jiang... What joke are you kidding? Apart from respecting the emperor and worrying about the people... other than that, how can there be anyone who is afraid of you?"

Li Xinghe was still unwilling to answer this question, but his expression clearly showed that he knew about it, and he was well aware of the consequences of speaking out about it, so he refused to reveal a word even if he was beaten to death, so he could only do it. He didn't look at death like home.

"Hero Jiang, I really don't know about this matter, but can I tell you another piece of news?"

Li Xinghe bit the bullet and said to Jiang Wen, "In Xianggang, I dug up not only the ancient tomb of some Nanyue king, but also a vassal king's tomb with extraordinary regulations. Although these two places are not what the old prince is looking for The tomb of Zhao Tuo, Emperor Wudi of Nanyue, but the treasures inside are priceless, and heroes can take them."

Jiang Wen was unmoved in his heart, and his disgust towards the person in front of him became stronger and stronger, but he said with a half-smile: "Where is the vassal king from Nanyue? Are you trying to deceive me?"

Li Xinghe hurriedly swore and swore, "It's absolutely true. The word 'Cangwu' is written on the tombstone. Now it can be presumed that it is the tomb of Zhao Tuo's brother, Cangwu King Zhao Guang. His fief was far away in Guangxi at that time, but he didn't want to Secretly buried in Panyu city!"

According to historical records, in 183 BC, Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, defeated Queen Anyang, the leader of the Cangwu tribe, and made Zhao Guang, the younger brother of his tribe, the king of Cangwu.After Zhao Guang was entrusted with the title, he started to build the Wangcheng, which was named after the local tribe's "Cangwu".Until Han Ping Nanyue, Zhao Guang was still in power and controlled the Cangwu area. Therefore, there was only one Cangwu king in history, and it is indeed unlikely to admit his mistake.

"Fun, fun!"

Jiang Wen clapped his hands and said, grabbing Li Xinghe's shoulders, "Since Master Li is so knowledgeable, for example, he can lead a way for Jiang, and when I find the treasure, I will let you go back safe and sound. What do you think?"

Li Xinghe showed despair when he heard the words, put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate, looked sadly at the cold wind and rain outside the house that never stopped, shook more than half of the soybeans washed in the earthen pot, clang clang clang ring.

"Since Hero Jiang has spoken, there is nothing I can do about it. Just let me tell Daotong to finish grinding these beans so that he can make them into tofu so that he will not starve to death when he comes back. How about you?"

The Taoist boy outside the door heard the sound, so he was wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat. He was staggering towards the thatched cottage at this time, but when they approached suddenly, they saw a person of unknown origin looking at them from many places in the house, and immediately frightened him. I have to throw the hoe in my hand, turn around and run into the field.

Jiang Wen shook his head helplessly, and turned his back to look at Li Xinghe who was guarding the mill.

"Really Li, you two Taoist boys are still so timid. I'm afraid I'll let you down today, why don't we hurry up and leave."

Jiang Wen smiled and looked at Li Xinghe, only to find that Li Xinghe was also smiling at him.

"Hero Jiang, what are you talking about? Aren't they back?"

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Wen only felt that two violent forces from behind had reached his body, and he was being pinched left and right by a long-strike kung fu, so he had to take a half-step back and suffered two moves!
He took advantage of the situation and was about to turn around, but he found that the two figures punched like the wind, and they used their kung fu skillfully. When they gather together, they form a shape, and when they disperse, they form a wind. When they attack together, they are like white apes. For a while, Jiang Wen's martial arts realm, unexpectedly also Unable to spy out the flaws and get out.

"Good move!"

Jiang Wen suddenly exclaimed, the ingenuity of this set of kung fu is no accident, it is indeed a good word.

When those two people threw off their coir raincoats and bamboo hats, they suddenly looked up. They were not Li Xinghe's original two unshaven, farmer-like strong Daoist boys, but two young masters with bulging temples and shining eyes. It even made him somewhat familiar!
"Hero Jiang, since we met at Beidi Temple, I expected that we would see each other again. Since you have no intention of going to Guangxiao Temple today, let these two guards accompany you to stay in the palace to recuperate."

After Li Xinghe pulled the mechanism, the two young masters also retreated, and a carefully crafted barbed wire fence instantly fell from the roof, which seemed to trap Jiang Wen firmly in it.

"Really Li, you can really surprise me."

Jiang Wen was trapped in the barbed wire fence without moving his hands. He neither touched the sword hilt at his waist nor intended to use fists and kicks. He just stood there calmly.

"Since I'm full with wine and food today, I won't stay any longer, so I'll take my leave!"

Jiang Wen immediately summoned his internal strength and wanted to soar into the sky. Two masters quickly stepped forward and grabbed the barbed wire, trying to pull Jiang Wen back to the ground. The two of them grabbed one end with each hand and were about to spin in a circle, holding Jiang Wen firmly. tied in a net.

But in the next second, they realized that this was just a false move. They suddenly realized that the strength in their hands was gone. Then he broke free from his palm.

"Traveling and moving is not considered a breach of the precept, and you've got your hands on the game, Master Li, it's time for us to leave."

There were more footsteps outside the door, but Jiang Wen didn't turn his head. After saying that, he floated up, reached out and grabbed Li Xinghe's shoulder, and disappeared into the wind and rain.
