[Seven Five + Sword Three] White jade dyed bright yellow

Shaoshi Mountain, where Shaolin Temple is located, is not too close to Feng, the two used lightness kung fu all the way, picked shortcuts, and finally arrived at the foot of the mountain after an hour.

When walking halfway up the mountain, the sky suddenly drizzled.Bai Yutang embraced Ye Shulan into his arms and channeled his inner strength silently. Not a single drop of rain fell on the two of them. From a distance, it was like a transparent film was covering the two of them.Then the two used Qinggong to rush towards the mountain together.

Soon we saw the gate of Shaolin Temple.

The sweeping monk guarding the gate saw the two people running up the mountain hand in hand, and thought they were just passers-by who were passing by here to shelter from the rain. He stepped forward and chanted the Buddha's name, and warmly invited them into the temple.

As we approached the temple, we first entered a side hall. As soon as we entered, a young novice came forward and bowed his head, and asked with a smile, "Amitabha, the wind is violent and the rain is heavy. I wonder if the two benefactors are here to take shelter from the rain or offer incense?"

Bai Yutang casually threw a piece of silver over, "Shangxiang."

Ye Shulan was surprised - Tangtang, you actually remembered to bring money!

The little novice bowed, recited the Buddha's name, collected the money, and said with a smile, "You two benefactors, please come with me."

Following the little novice into the main hall, they burned incense and kowtowed in front of the solemn Buddha statue. As the rain outside gradually increased and it was inconvenient to go down the mountain, the two simply borrowed umbrellas and walked around the temple at will.

The little monk didn't stop him either - after all, there are many disciples in the temple, no matter where he goes, he can ask anyone for anything.

The temple does not look big, but it is actually very deep because it is hidden among the lush pine forests and cypresses.

The two were holding an umbrella, and they were so close together that they could bump into each other with a little movement. From the outsiders' eyes, they described it as very close, but the two parties were ignorant, just walking casually, talking about parting from time to time. The things that have happened in the past few days-I don’t know how many young monks along the way saw them and silently recited two sentences in their hearts, "see no evil" and "listen to no evil".

Unknowingly walking deeper and deeper, looking at the deep and verdant bamboo forest in front of me, the surroundings are quiet, the common sweeping monks along the way have long since disappeared, only the pleasant sound of raindrops hitting the bamboo leaves and the gentle breathing of the two Ye Shulan hesitated for a while, and pulled Bai Yutang back: "Tangtang, you see there are no monks here, so people are not allowed to come here?"——Each sect has its own forbidden area, which is deep and remote. Much like Shaolin Forbidden Area.

Bai Yutang didn't care where he was going, so he nodded, changed hands with the umbrella in his hand, and wanted to turn around and leave with him, but just as he lifted his foot, he heard a deep voice from the depths of the bamboo forest: "The two benefactors can come Here is fate, why don't you come in and see?"

Ye Shulan was taken aback, the voice was so clear that it seemed close to her ears, but she didn't feel uncomfortable... You can imagine how deep the master's inner strength is.

But Bai Yutang was shocked - he has been in the arena for seven years, even if he has never seen or heard of the masters in this world, he has never heard of such a person with such profound internal strength in Shaolin Temple.With such a profound internal force, even if they can't do a single move, the two of them are no match... So they turned their heads and glanced at Ye Shulan—do you want to go in?

Ye Shulan nodded slowly—although it would be inappropriate to rush in without knowing the identity and position of the other party, but it was invited by the other party after all, so it's probably okay, right?

So the two held umbrellas and walked slowly into the bamboo forest.

After walking out of the bamboo forest, there is a maple forest. It is already early autumn, and the maple leaves are half red and half green hanging on it. At the end of the maple forest, there is a lonely cabin. It seems that they know that they have come in. The voice just now came from the cabin, With a little smile: "Why? Still not coming in?"

Ye Shulan touched Tai'a and Qianye Changsheng who were behind her back, and when she was about to lift her foot to pass, she was suddenly stopped by Bai Yutang: "Slow down."

"Huh?" Ye Shulan turned her head.

The always faint Bai Wuye showed a helpless smile on his face: "It seems that this is an elder who likes to play tricks on people."

As she said that, she saw the wrist of the free hand flipped, the long sleeve fluttered, and several black jade locust rocks flew to several directions, and then Ye Shulan stared at the originally neat ground with wide eyes. In the pit, countless stones were smashed on the west side, a large basin of water was thrown down on the other side, a row of ground thorns suddenly appeared on this side, and there was even a swarm of wasps coming out of one place—they are not any mechanism that can kill people, but Once you step into it, it must be ugly, and judging from the location of these traps, no matter how good your skills are, it will be difficult to avoid them completely, especially the swarm of hornets, which are constantly buzzing because the nest has been destroyed. buzzing sound.

The voice was so horrifying that it made people feel numb all over. If she was alone, she would have to step on it properly, and if she didn't die, she would be crippled... Thinking of this, Ye Shulan immediately jumped behind Bai Yutang and hid.

"Oh, boy, isn't he very powerful." The voice came from the cabin again.

Unexpectedly, the two ignored him at all——

Bai Yutang turned his head and patted Ye Shulan reassuringly: "It's okay. It's just some simple Qimen Dunjia."

Ye Shulan was still holding on to Bai Yutang's sleeve tightly, looking up at him: "It's thanks to Tangtang that I'll be fine. If it were me, I'd be caught."

"It's very simple. I'll teach you later?"

Ye Shulan rolled her eyes: "...No need. Anyway, there is Tangtang, so I can just hug Tangtang's thigh tightly from now on..."

Hearing this, Bai Yutang was inexplicably happy, pursed his lips, and nodded: "Yes. From now on, the Qimen Dunjia mechanism will be handed over to me."

Ye Shulan nodded happily.

At this time, the door of the small wooden house was smashed open by internal force, and there was an old monk with a white beard sitting on the short table inside, staring at them two with puffy face: "..."

Because he was holding an umbrella in his hand, Bai Yutang could only bow and salute: "This junior Bai Yutang has met the master."

Ye Shulan came out from behind Bai Yutang, bowed her hands in a polite manner.

The old monk twirled his snow-white beard, suddenly laughed, and raised his hand, "Come in soon?"

Ye Shulan looked up at Bai Yutang - there was no mechanism this time, right?

Bai Yutang frowned - didn't see that there were more.

The two looked at each other, secretly keeping vigilance, avoiding various obstacles on the road in front of them, and walked in slowly.

As soon as he entered, Bai Yutang was putting away his umbrella, when he saw the old monk puffed up his cheeks again and stared: "How slow! Don't you know how to do light work?"

The two of them bowed their heads without speaking, thinking in their hearts - who knows if something will suddenly hit them when they fly.

"Look up and let me see."

Being polite to the old monk means that the two of them have cultivated well, but no matter how well-cultivated they are, they will be bullied and abused, so neither of them wants to do it.Unexpectedly, there was a sudden internal force, which lifted the chins of the two of them up—if they carried it any longer, their heads might move, so the two of them honestly raised their heads.

Seeing that the two finally cooperated, the old monk narrowed his eyes happily, and began to size up the two of them carefully.First I looked at Bai Yutang, looked at it for a long time, touched my chin: "Well, I haven't been out of the mountains for many years, are there still a few rising stars in this declining rivers and lakes, not bad. By the way, your name is Bai Yutang? Do you know Bai Jintang? "

Bai Yutang didn't expect to hear this name here, he was taken aback for a moment, and said, "It's my brother."

"How is that kid now?" The old monk's familiar tone suddenly changed, "No, when I met him ten years ago, he was seriously ill, and now..."

Bai Yutang's voice also sank: "...Yes, my brother died eight years ago."

The old monk looked Bai Yutang up and down again, but suddenly laughed.

Although it has been a long time since his brother passed away, and Bai Yutang had already passed the period of despair when he suddenly lost a loved one, but he still felt a little uncomfortable when he suddenly heard this old monk, who was suspected to be his brother's friend, laugh when he heard the news of his brother's death. Brow slightly wrinkled.

The great monk smiled for a while, looked at Bai Yutang again, and sighed: "No wonder, no wonder. I've lived so long, I've already looked down on life and death. Even if your brother's body is alive, it's just hard work, but he still can't let you go. , I have been talking about finding you a backer four years ago. Now that you look like this, I think the backer he found is really reliable. I don’t have many friends, and your brother, a cunning brat, is one of them. This is for him I'm so happy!"

When Bai Yutang heard this, his heart trembled slightly, and he turned his head quickly.Ye Shulan, who was standing beside him, kept looking at him, seeing the reddish eye sockets of the other person with sharp eyes, and wanted to reach out to pat his shoulders to comfort him, but stopped when he stretched out in mid-air—Tangtang, you probably don't want to see his fragility for yourself, right? ?However, the pain of losing a loved one can't be erased no matter how many years, so I should actually comfort myself...

When Ye Shulan was struggling, the old monk had already shifted his eyes to her, looked at her for a long while, frowned slightly, looked at her carefully again, and finally sighed with joy: "The Hidden Sword Villa actually sent someone out of the village. ? After so many years, is it finally going to come back—”

The palm that was about to touch Bai Yutang's shoulder suddenly stopped, and then trembled uncontrollably. Ye Shulan turned to look at the old monk: "...you said—— Hidden Sword Villa? There is Hidden Sword Villa here?! Wait ——The resurrection you said is..."

Hearing the conversation here, Bai Yutang's aroused sadness instantly faded away like a tide, his expression moved slightly, and he grabbed Ye Shulan's arm: "The rain outside has stopped, we should go back."

The sound of the rain outside did not know when it stopped, but Ye Shulan was not in the mood to care about the weather at all, she shook off his hand politely, and strode towards the old monk: "Hangjian Villa, what happened?"

The old monk frowned at her, then looked at Bai Yutang, a little confused about the situation in front of him, let alone how to answer.

In the end, it was Bai Yutang who took a step forward and pulled her aside, lowered his head helplessly, and looked straight into her eyes: "...you know, Da Tang is already dead."

Ye Shulan nodded blankly.

"Then do you know when it died?"

Ye Shulan didn't know why the other party asked this question. She had studied history, but it was only limited to major events, and she would forget them after the exam. She only knew that the prosperous Tang Dynasty was in the late period, and there were many warlords everywhere, and the court was chaotic... As for which year it was She didn't remember what died, so she could only shake her head.

Bai Yutang continued to ask: "Then do you know when did the flourishing Tang Dynasty begin to decline?"

Ye Shulan continued to shake her head.

"It was from the Anshi Rebellion...it happened to be the 14th year of Tianbao."

Ye Shulan's eyes widened suddenly—it happened to be... the year she left Datang? !

"In December of the 14th year of Tianbao, the Anshi rebels occupied the Eastern Capital... Are you sure you want to listen to the next one?"

The rebels occupied the Eastern Capital... What do you mean?Ye Shulan's wide-open eyes were full of doubts and bewilderment, but her body kept shaking... Eastern Capital... Chang'an... Chang'an was occupied... Where is Tiance Mansion?And what about the other armies of Datang?Where is the emperor?Why... the capital... How could it be possible for it to fall?

Bai Yutang grabbed Ye Shulan's shoulder with his left hand, and covered Ye Shulan's eyes with his right palm, his palm was hot: "It's all in the past anyway, what does it matter if you don't know?"

"No." Ye Shulan shook her head, and pulled off Bai Yutang's hand covering her eyes, "No. The Hidden Sword Villa was located in the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, Chang'an fell...what does it have to do with the Hidden Sword Villa..." She first heard Mrs. Ding Saying that there is no hidden sword villa, I just thought that these two worlds are irrelevant, but I didn't expect that there is hidden sword in this world.Even if the dynasties change, Tibetan Sword is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and the family heritage is profound, how can it be easily defeated? !

But Bai Yutang turned his head, looked out the window, and said in a low voice, "...Under the overturned nest, no eggs will die. When the family and the country are in ruins, who can stay out of the world. Although I am not from the Tang Dynasty, I think about it in my own shoes." Thinking that if the Great Song Dynasty was in danger, Bai would also be obliged to go to the battlefield with a sword. The Anshi Rebellion will be a catastrophe for the entire Great Tang Dynasty!"

The old monk has deep inner strength, even though he is far away, and the other party's voice is extremely low, he can still hear clearly, although he doesn't know why these two little guys suddenly talked about the Tang Dynasty, and why is the girl with the sword hidden? With that expression, he still said loudly: "Bai...Xiaobai said it well. When the family and the country are in ruins, who can stay out of the world. Isn't practicing this kind of martial arts just to protect the family and peace... Girls , you are too young."

Thinking of the possible outcome of the hidden sword villa in the war, Ye Shulan covered her head and retorted excitedly: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it, I don't believe it—"

The old monk glanced at her and showed a kind mocking smile: "Shaolin Temple has a long history, and its terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even after several dynasties, it still exists forever. "If you don't believe me, girls, you can take a look."

Ye Shulan put down her hand and subconsciously looked at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang shook his head disapprovingly: "Shu Lan, don't look."

Looking at the old monk again, the monk smiled kindly: "Do you want to read it? If you read it, I will teach the disciples in the temple to take out that part of the file."

To see, or not to see?Ye Shulan lowered her head, clenched the epee behind her back... Then she was startled - she hesitated so much, maybe she already believed it?The masters and the others...

In the end, Ye Shulan raised her head firmly, looked at the old monk, and bowed humbly: "Master, the little girl wants to see it. Please trouble your disciples."

"No trouble, no trouble. You doll, you really are like what the master said, the etiquette of the hidden sword villa is never lacking." The old monk waved his hand with a smile, and then whistled, a carrier pigeon It floated in lightly, landed on his shoulder, and rubbed against him intimately.He casually touched the pigeon's head, took out a pen from the side table, wrote a few words on the side of the paper, and then stuffed it on the bamboo tube between his legs, and let the pigeon fly.

After the carrier pigeon flew away leisurely, the old monk looked at Ye Shulan with a smile: "Girl baby, I think, while the kid is looking for files, maybe you should tell the old man a story?"

Ye Shulan was taken aback for a moment, then she came to her senses and knelt down with Bai Yutang on the cushion in front of the couch, telling her story.

Bai Yutang started to set up the tea set in front of him, and began to brew tea silently.

By the time the Shaolin disciples brought the files, it was already dark, so they also brought vegetarian meals for three people.

The old monk was quite shocked by Ye Shulan's background, and he couldn't help but be absorbed in chewing on the food; Bai Yutang picked up a meal and stuffed Ye Shulan with two mouthfuls while he was flipping through the file. I couldn't eat a single bite.

Ye Shulan was chewing the food brought to her mouth, while browsing the files at a glance, she read very fast, and soon turned to the part of the Anshi Rebellion, just glanced at it, then covered her mouth and shed tears, for Bai Yutang could only shake his head as the food was brought to his mouth: "...the Anshi Rebellion lasted for eight years, and it is like a ghost ringing a bell..."

Bai Yutang had no choice but to let go, propped his chin and looked at her, shaking his head—why bother?It's all over, so what's the use of looking at it again...
