Poor monks do not break the precepts

Xun Kewen stopped beside the stele at the entrance of the valley, lost in thought for a long time without taking a step. Looking at the familiar but unfamiliar environment in front of him, his heart throbbed, "It's been 20 years, and I thought I would never step into this valley again in this lifetime."

The forest in the Valley of the King of Medicine is lush, with swallows and warblers singing among the luxuriant branches, it seems to be the same as it was 20 years ago, except that the girl's voice and appearance are no longer visible.

"Would you like to go see it first?" Bai Guyu supported Xun Kewen who was standing trembling because of his heartbreak, "I will always go to see you a few times a year and say a few words for you. Since I'm back , it would be better for you to speak in person.”

At this time, Xun Kewen was a little demented, and was led up the mountain by Bai Guyu. After walking for about half an hour, he came to a cliff halfway up the mountain.Xun Kewen stood expressionlessly under the ancient pine on the edge of the cliff, with a lonely tombstone three feet in front of him.

"Who planted this hermit flower? I came here two months ago, and there is no one at all." Bai Guyu frowned and looked at the clusters of green shade behind the monument. The green peonies around the monument were different from wild flowers in the mountains, which grew in disorder. Those who are willing to plant it specially, not to mention that it is a treasure among chrysanthemums that are rarely seen in the palace.

Xinli said silently: "Maybe it's because an old friend came to pay respects."

Xun Kewen acted as if he had never heard the conversation around him, silently touching the words on the tablet with trembling hands, murmuring the names of the people engraved on the tablet.

The saddest thing in life is when a white-haired person gives away a black-haired person. This may be the reason why Xun Kewen did not want to visit Yaowang Valley for 20 years. It is not because there are people chasing and killing people, but because this place has no hope.

Huai Mingmo once heard Mr. Ji talk about this past event, and his heart was sadly lost in thought.

At this time, no one noticed the movements of little Ye Yuan. When Ye Yuan first arrived, he stayed obediently beside Bai Guyu, and was attracted by the little fox struggling to survive on the ancient pine that grew horizontally on the edge of the cliff, so he planned to rescue him, but he was just a The child doesn't know martial arts, so he climbed up the old tree and pulled the little fox up to climb back to the flat ground when his feet slipped and he almost fell off the cliff.

"Be careful." With a quick and low growl to remind, everyone looked towards the edge of the cliff one after another.I saw a man in a maroon shirt floating over the ancient pine, picked up Xiao Yeyuan, took him out of danger in a blink of an eye, and landed beside the stele.

This man has an extraordinary appearance, he seems to be a gentleman, he said with a light smile: "There are often eight or nine miseries in life, you can avoid them and avoid them."

"Thank you, my lord, for saving this little disciple." Xun Kewen hugged Ye Yuan tightly, trembling with fear.

"who are you?"

The man turned a deaf ear to Bai Guyu's words, knelt down on the ground and fiddled with the petals of the green peony a few times, and said with a light smile: "There is no need for a thank-you banquet, can you give me this green peony?" He wasn't discussing with anyone at all, Humming a little song, he dug out a tree, wrapped the roots and leaves like a treasure, and left lightly in a blink of an eye.

"Brother Zheng, you don't have to go after him, it's hard for you to catch up." The howling wind on the edge of the cliff echoed in his ears, but Huai Mingmo could still discern the strange man's whereabouts in it. , but it is not easy to catch up with him. Beware of distracting the tiger from the mountain."

Xin Li was cautious, and when he encountered the situation in front of him, he became more vigilant and said, "Uncle Xun, let's go back to the thatched cottage first. Xiao Ye Yuan must have been frightened, it would be better to finish the tranquilizing medicine for him."

"This place is too empty. If someone comes to sneak attack, we can't take care of the three of you. I don't know the origin of that man just now. It's really not suitable to stay for a long time."

On the way back, Huai Mingmo obviously had something on his mind to say.Of course, all the silence and thoughtfulness were all due to that yew man. Although it had been more than two months, he still couldn't forget the footsteps of the incense thief when he left.As for the man just now, his lightness kung fu was not as good as that of Xiang Pi, but the lightness kung fu he used was very similar.

If he hadn't been worried about Xun Kewen's safety, Huai Mingmo would have really wanted to go up and ask, if he knew the name of this lightness kung fu, if he knew the Fragrance Pirate, and if the Fragrance Pirate was the monk Xusheng.

If not, then who is the Fragrant Pirate, now is good.

He wants to know too much, and he shouldn't want to know too much.

When we reached the foot of the mountain, there was suddenly the sound of fighting in the forest, and the more we got closer, the more chaotic and noisy.Because it is on the only way, it will be exposed if you go forward, Huai Mingmo stopped Xun Kewen from going forward, and said in a low voice: "Brother Zheng, protect Uncle Xun and the others to hide until we come to find you."

"But, Pavilion Master..."

"Don't worry, judging from the sound, there are at most two people fighting each other, and Xinli and I can deal with it enough."

Zheng Fengnian was ordered not to argue anymore, and quickly took Xun Kewen and the others to hide deep in the dense forest.

After the people walked away, Huai Ming Mocai and Xin Li went forward to find out, and within a few steps, they could see the figures of the two fighting, but the two were not evenly matched, it seemed that one of them was trying to avoid it.

After walking a few steps closer, Xinli asked in surprise, "Miss Shen?"

Shen Mengjun heard someone calling her from behind, glanced quickly, and hid behind Huai Mingmo with great joy.

"It's you again?" Chen Xiang stared at Xin Li coldly, and couldn't help clicking her tongue angrily, "Get out of the way."

"Why don't you let me go?" Xin Li held the bone fan tightly in his hand, remembering the previous tricks and the affairs of Qingzhou Mansion, he geared up and said, "To kill or protect someone, each depends on his own ability."

Chen Xiang rushed towards Shen Mengjun without saying a word, but Xinli had already seen through her actions, and immediately stopped her from moving further, and immediately entangled with Chen Xiang, not giving her the slightest chance to get out to kill.

In just a short moment, the two fought against each other with hundreds of moves, and it was still hard to tell the winner.

Xinli knew the opponent's skill in the two encounters, so of course he didn't dare to underestimate him and dealt with it seriously, but the more he got older, the more strange he became.

Shen Mengjun saw that Huai Mingmo avoided him many times to get close to him, he couldn't help feeling sad, and said more softly: "Mr. Huai won't make a move? As long as you make a move, the female swordsman in red will definitely lose."

"There are many people bullying the few, it's not what a gentleman does. Since the other party has no intention of harming me, why should I attack?" Huai Mingmo was not used to the scent of powder on Shen Mengjun's body, so he moved away a little.

"Don't you want to catch her? She and Xiang Pirate are familiar."

Huai Mingmo's eyes flickered for a moment, as if he hadn't heard the question, he said with a light smile, "This swordsman must have been poisoned, and if I don't make a move, I believe Xin Li can catch her. Miss Shen, don't worry, wait here." That's it."

Shen Mengjun heard such rhetoric, so he couldn't force him anymore, so he gave a soft "um" and didn't say anything else.

Just as Huai Mingmo said, the two had just passed 150 moves, and Chen Xiang gradually lost the wind. Although he was still fighting a trapped beast, his defeat had already been revealed, and it would be a matter of time before he was captured alive.

Shen Mengjun stood weakly behind Huai Mingmo and looked around. The smile on the corner of his mouth became more sinister, and he sneered involuntarily. The voice was so soft that it was hard to hear it amidst the chirping of birds and insects, but Huai Mingmo still noticed it.

Chen Xiang's poisoning gradually deepened, and his moves became weaker and weaker, but he still refused to admit defeat. He deliberately scratched himself several times, and used pain stimulation to concentrate.

"Let's go." When the sword and the fan were clanging, Xin Li said in a low voice, while speaking, he exerted a little strength with his hands, so that Chen Xiang's feet on his fan had support.

Although Chen Xiang didn't understand the reason for Xin Li's actions, the good girl didn't suffer from the immediate disadvantages, she immediately exerted force on her feet, and rolled backwards, as if taking an oiled paper package from a tree hole, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the dense forest.Seeing the person leaving, Xin Li didn't pursue him, but returned to Huai Mingmo, shrugged helplessly, and seemed to complain, "It's really cunning."

"Hey, why did you make people run away?" Shen Mengjun was the one who blamed her first, she seemed to have completely forgotten her image, and said angrily, "You don't chase after her? If you go after her, you will definitely catch her. It's really useless."

"Miss Shen, Xinli is my guard, so naturally I won't leave me here alone." Huai Mingmo said flatly, staring at Shen Mengjun who was in a panic, these invisible black eyes are as scary as an abyss .

Shen Mengjun knew that Huai Mingmo was blind, but he was staring at him closely, and his heart was still very flustered.She swallowed her saliva in panic, and said with a slight smile: "What Mr. Huai said is true, I am indeed too anxious. Thinking that the swordsman knew the incense thief, I couldn't help but think that you can catch her as soon as possible, so as to find out where the incense thief is. "

"Miss Shen has a heart, Ming Mo knows it well." Huai Ming Mo bowed politely, and changed the subject: "Why did Miss Shen come to Yaowang Valley?"

"I..." Shen Mengjun didn't expect to meet someone else in the valley, so he didn't think of an excuse for coming, and stopped talking for a while.

"Come here for Xiaotao? There are many rare herbs in the Medicine King Valley, which may be able to cure Xiaotao's eyes." Huai Mingmo asked and answered with a faint smile.

Shen Mengjun covered his mouth and nose with his palm and said sadly: "Yeah, I didn't expect to meet someone and be attacked here."

"Miss Shen, did you find the herbs you need? Do you need our help?" Xin Li asked, smiling softly at Shen Mengjun, as if he really believed her words.

Shen Mengjun touched his sleeve pockets around, pretending to be looking for a so-called prescription, and after a long while, his eyebrows were clouded and he said: "It seems to have fallen off, how could it be..."

"Since Miss Shen lost the prescription, and even after thinking about it, she couldn't remember the contents of the prescription, why don't you go back earlier."

Shen Mengjun bit his lower lip lightly, but he still couldn't wait for Huai Mingmo to treat him gently, and disappointedly said: "Yes, I should go back to the capital. Mr. Huai, take care." With a slight salute, Shen Mengjun left the valley in a hurry.

On the way to pick up Xun Kewen, the two walked side by side without saying a word, until they approached Xun Kewen's hiding place, Huai Mingmo suddenly said calmly: "You let that swordsman go on purpose, right?"

"Yes." Xinli answered truthfully without any hesitation, and he smiled and said, "The pavilion master doesn't seem to want me to capture her alive."

"She saved me, so she should return the favor."

Birds and beasts often appear in the valley, but Zheng Fengnian, a Jianghu person, can naturally distinguish the difference between the movements of humans and animals, and before Huaimingmo can make a sound, he has brought Xun Kewen to appear.

"Brother Zheng, send someone to track down Shen Mengjun, and keep an eye on her whereabouts in the future."

"The young master didn't expose her on the spot, and she asked you to help her think about this clumsy excuse." Xinli's temperament is not as calm as Huai Mingmo's, but he doesn't like to do sneaky things when compared with others, so he looks down on Shen Mengjun's behavior even more. She snorted and said, "It's a dirty trick for a well-known talented woman in Beimeng to actually use poison. It's really a disgrace to her reputation."

"There must be someone instigated behind her. It is better to find out who is behind the scenes than arresting her." Huai Mingmo pulled Ye Yuan towards the Yaowang Caolu, regretting his defensive actions just now, "Brother Zheng, the person you asked to monitor Be careful, she has stunned snakes today, and it is estimated that her actions will be more cautious in the future, and it will be difficult to find out in the short term."

As he spoke, he was slightly worried about the fate of Xun Kewen and the others, and suggested: "Why don't you go to the Hermitage Villa to live for a while? Now it seems that Yaowang Valley has also been involved in the disputes of the martial arts."

"Don't worry, I just saw that female swordsman take something from the tree hole, I suspect that Shen Mengjun came here for this kind of thing."
