[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Go away, don't disturb my ascension

It was already dark when we arrived in Mudan Town, if it wasn't for the sun still nodding outside, Ji Kaiqing might have thought it was eleven o'clock at night.Tomorrow's weather may not be very good, it may rain, the clouds in the sky cover the moon, if it is not for the moving clouds and the afterglow of the setting sun, the two of them may not be able to see the road clearly .

At this time in Peony Town, you can see caravans at the entrance of the town and some people with swords or knives rushing out of it. There will be two waves of large merchants in Peony Town every year. It's the second time to buy those special products in Peony Town. Those who can stay until now must have something important to do, otherwise they should have left long ago.As long as you have stayed in the Central Plains for a period of time, or lived around Peony Town for a few days, you will know that you cannot enter Peony Town at night.Moreover, those big and small vendors in Peony Town will also warn people who come to Peony Town for the first time before the sun goes down, not to stay in Peony Town.If you want to stay in Mudan Town for the night, only those who have relatives and friends in Mudan Town can live in the homes of relatives and friends.As for the inns... the inns in Peony Town do not provide accommodation at all. In a sense, the people who live in Peony Town are very friendly.

As soon as Ji Kaiqing arrived in Peony Town, he couldn't help but look into Peony Town. He thought for a while and turned his head to Song Qingshu and said, "After everyone is rescued, will you accompany me to Hua's house to see Mr. Hua?"

Song Qingshu glanced at Peony Town, which had fallen into darkness. Except for the dots of lights, there were no silhouettes of people.About what he did and who he met in Mudan Town, Ji Kaiqing seemed to have already told Song Qingshu when he told the story, so he is not unfamiliar with the Hua Lao in Ji Kaiqing's mouth.He nodded, "If you want to go, go, since you happen to be nearby, it's not good if you don't go, and you also said before that the Hua family may not be able to wait for a Taixu disciple in their lifetime."

Knowing what Song Qingshu meant, Ji Kaiqing curled the corners of his lips and smiled slightly.

It may be that the two of them stayed at the entrance of the town for a long time, which attracted the attention of a few people who had just come out. One of them took a look, handed the reins to the person next to him and walked over by himself. Stand still four or five steps in front of you. "Are the two little brothers planning to go to Peony Town? It's already night, and outsiders are not allowed to enter and leave Peony Town at night. If you can't find a place to stay, you can go to the small village a few miles ahead."

Both of them bowed their hands towards the person of their size, Ji Kaiqing first thanked and then said: "I'm just waiting here for someone, I won't go in, thank you for reminding me."

"It's getting dark soon, the two little brothers should get out of here as soon as possible, so as not to encounter any bad things." The man should be a businessman who came to the Central Plains, and his accent sounded a bit like that of Jiangnan.He is a little fat but looks very energetic, with gentle brows and eyes, and he is a little well dressed but not the kind that makes people feel rich at a glance.

Seeing Ji Kaiqing and Song Qingshu nod their heads, the man was about to turn around and get on his horse to leave. As a result, the dark clouds just drifted away from the moon, and there was a little light, and some places that hadn't been noticed were naturally noticed.The man raised his feet back and took another look carefully at the jade pendant and jade pendant hanging on Ji Kaiqing's waist, then his eyes moved to Ji Kaiqing's face.

"Is it... Ji Kaiqing Ji Shaoxia from Taixuguan?"

Ji Kaiqing was taken aback for a moment, then confirmed the other person's appearance, and after confirming that he had never seen this person before, he nodded hesitantly: "I am, dare I ask you...?"

The man bowed his hands towards Ji Kaiqing, his whole body swept away his attitude of being a "senior" just now, this time it was a gesture of gratitude.

"I am a shopkeeper who works in the Hua family. My surname is Zhao. The Hua family has received the things that Ji Shaoxia entrusted before, and the results have been very good. Santong should have come to Mudan Town to purchase Yes, but because of Qitong’s matter, there is no way to get away, so I replaced it this time.” When shopkeeper Zhao straightened up, he happened to see Ji Kaiqing and Song Qingshu get off their horses, and he smiled at them. "This is Song Qingshu and Song Shaoxia from Wudang, I have long admired you."

Ji Kaiqing quickly walked two or three steps to shopkeeper Zhao, and asked, "Is something wrong with Qi Tong?"

Shopkeeper Zhao was taken aback for a moment, realizing that there was something wrong with what he said just now, and then smiled again: "There is something wrong with what I said, because Qi Tong has improved a little bit, although it is only a little bit, but it is enough to make San Tong and the others happy Yes. Santong was unable to come to the Central Plains because he went to Yanqiu to ask for a doctor, not what you think."

It was only then that Ji Kaiqing realized that he had lost his mind, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.Raising his hand and touching his nose, he didn't know what to say for a while.However, Song Qingshu's understanding was very accurate. After all, shopkeeper Zhao's attitude was clearly expressing gratitude. If something really happened to Huamanlou, it would not be like this.

"I didn't expect to meet Ji Shaoxia here. Before I came from Jiangnan, Santong came to me and told me that if I have the opportunity to meet Ji Shaoxia, I must say thank you first." Shopkeeper Zhao glanced back and was waiting for himself The other people made a gesture to them, and the group of people first took a bunch of things and pulled the carriage to the main road.Shopkeeper Zhao smiled after turning back, "I also told Ji Shaoxia and Song Shaoxia to go to Jiangnan to stay for a while after their busy work."

Ji Kaiqing was very relaxed about what he said, thinking that that thing was indeed useful to Huamanlou, no matter how much it was useful, at least it would improve a bit and be better than before, so he felt relieved.The whole person was much more relaxed, and he talked to shopkeeper Zhao with his eyes slightly bent, and when he heard that the Hua family invited him to live in Jiangnan, he glanced at Song Qingshu with a smile in his eyes.

"Maybe we will live in Jiangnan forever. If Qingshu and I go to Jiangnan, we will definitely go to Hua's house. I'm afraid you will be bothered by that time." After the water recedes, the entire Jiangnan area will definitely be very suitable for living after it returns to its original state. Now... forget it.

Besides, it may not be possible to pass immediately.

Ji Kaiqing smiled and looked at shopkeeper Zhao.

The conversation has already reached this point, and both sides are tacitly preparing to end the conversation. They met by chance, and both sides have their own affairs.So shopkeeper Zhao decisively said goodbye to the two people, and watched shopkeeper Zhao and the other two leave together, Ji Kaiqing raised his hand and touched his chin.

"What do you think?"

"I didn't think about anything, I just felt..." Ji Kaiqing said, "I don't seem to have done anything, but I was thanked. This feeling is very uncomfortable."

Song Qingshu laughed, "What do you want to do so much? It's true that you brought the things. Without you, no one would have been able to get them. Thank you and you can bear it. If you feel uncomfortable, can you bring some more next time?"

"That's the only way, what can we do." Ji Kaiqing sighed softly, glanced at the time in the upper left corner, raised his chin, "Let's go, it's not really waiting for someone here, go to Wan'an Temple Take a look around and make plans for the next step." Gently pinched the horse's belly, pulled the reins slightly, and went along the trail a little closer to Peony Town.

The two of them walked to places where no one would approach them at night, and I didn't know whether to say that the talented people were bold or that they didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.The small road and some parts of Peony Town are so close that there is only a fence and two rows of peony flower beds between them. Fortunately, there are no "things" wandering around where they are next to, otherwise Song Qingshu may not know how he will react.

Walking past Mudan Town very calmly, the avenue in front of Yinglong City was deserted at this time, the surrounding was quiet and only the sound of their horseshoes could be heard.When passing Yinglong City, Ji Kaiqing paid special attention to the marks on the small map. After finding that there were no punctuation marks, Ji Kaiqing and Song Qingshu sped up a little.

If you get closer to Wan'an Temple, you can't ride a horse, and it's not a good thing to be too quiet at night.The two men tied the horse in a safe place, where no one would notice and the horse would not be hungry. After tying it up, they headed towards Wan'an Temple.

There are really not many people coming to Wan'an Temple. It was originally located in the deep mountain and old forest. The little monk came to sweep.I don’t know when this place has declined. At first, some monks lived in the temple to maintain their daily livelihood. Later, only older monks were left. After a few years, those older monks passed away. After that, no one came here again.

Because it was in the woods, the road I was walking was still cutting across, not the original road, so there were rotten leaves and dew at night under my feet.Fortunately, the leaves under their feet were already rotten, and they would not make any noise when they stepped on them. In order to keep quiet, Ji Kaiqing and Song Qingshu spoke directly in the team channel.

The woods at night are still a bit cold, and it's not midsummer after all, Ji Kaiqing reached out to shake the hand of the person around him, feeling that the other's hand was a little cold, couldn't help covering his palm.

Song Qingshu's hand was slightly bigger than Ji Kaiqing's. When he held it with his backhand, it was more like he was covering Ji Kaiqing's hand. He felt that the fingers on the back of his hand were much cooler than before, and Ji Kaiqing was a little speechless. looked up at him.Then while chattering on the team channel, he backhanded Song Qingshu's fingers into his hand.

"I'm really not cold, Kaiqing, why are you acting like an old lady now?"

Ji Kaiqing raised his eyebrows and was ready to refute his words, first lowered his head to avoid the branches, and then started his daily chatter.

"You know what a fart. A person who practices martial arts has a problem with cold hands and feet. How many medicines have been given to you by the old doctor since childhood. Does it work? Now you still blame me for being like an old mother."

"You have cold hands and feet at a young age, you are not as good as a real person."

"The real person is much better than you. He is like a big stove all day long. I don't want to sit next to him in summer."

"Also, that's what you said about me when I told you to soak my feet every night when I was young. Why do you still say that about me when you grow up?"

"Is your language so poor? Can you update your vocabulary?"

"Forget it, you don't listen to me, and you tell me to waste my saliva every time, who am I doing this for!"

"—Wow, the more you talk, the more angry you get. You just don't know what's good or bad. When you suffer, you'll remember the benefits I'm talking about now."

Song Qingshu: ==.

"At that time, you should regret not listening to me."

"——What kind of expression is that on your face? If you think what I said is wrong, you can refute it. I didn't gag your mouth, did I?"

Song Qingshu: =dish=.

He shouldn't have done that!

"I say--"

Song Qingshu quickly interrupted Ji Kaiqing: "Wan'an Temple is ahead, let's put this topic aside for now, we can talk about it when we go back to Wudang."

Ji Kaiqing hesitated for a while, then nodded, "Success, then we'll talk about it when we return to Wudang."

Song Qingshu: "..."

For a moment, I didn't know whether to kill myself just now or solve the problem directly from the source.

You can vaguely see some broken walls in front of you, like a small stone tower and a broken wall. When you get closer, you find that there are not only stone towers, but also some small stone statues scattered around.I don't know how long this place has been deserted. No matter how you look at it, it looks like it has been ransacked, otherwise it wouldn't be a mess.

It doesn't matter if the weeds are overgrown, even the stones are scattered everywhere.

Ji Kaiqing, who was almost tripped, said that he was too immoral, looting and looting, and not throwing it around.It wasn't like that when he and Song Qingshu entered the ancient imperial mausoleum, tsk.

If it wasn't for him and Song Qingshu's background, if another ordinary person came over, he might be tripped and knocked after taking two steps.I don't know if there is something wrong with Zhao Min, so he has to pick such a place to lock people up.Ji Kaiqing's face was full of disgust, but he didn't say anything more about it.

The area of ​​Wan'an Temple was not small in the first place, even if it is deserted and overgrown with weeds, it does not prevent people from observing the overall layout.This is a very typical large-scale temple structure. Ji Kaiqing has never been to Shaolin Temple and does not know what it looks like there, but he and Song Qingshu went to Lingyin Temple when they were in the south of the Yangtze River.The layout of Wan'an Temple and Lingyin Temple looks similar. They are divided into front hall, main hall, back hall, side hall, and disciple rooms. With the addition of stone statues and towers, it can be seen that the incense is most prosperous. What a scene.

It's a pity that after the decline, it became a place where even beggars would not come because it was a little remote. Ji Kaiqing stretched out his hand and pulled Song Qingshu who almost stepped on the ground without noticing, and then let go after he quickly stood up.

Song Qingshu came here for the first time in his life. When he first came here, he didn't leave here, and he didn't even see Wan'an Temple much—who would have the mood to look at the surrounding environment at that time.After Ji Kaiqing let go of his hand, he glanced at the figure who continued to move forward, lowered his head and smiled silently.

The person walking in front found that there was no one following behind him, so he turned his head to look strangely, obviously he couldn't see the expression on the other person's face clearly, but Song Qingshu felt that Ji Kaiqing raised his eyebrows in doubt.

It has to be said that the two of them are too familiar with each other.

When I touched the main hall from the periphery, I heard some speeches, all of which were useless nonsense.It sounds like it's too boring for two people with nothing to do to stand there, chatting casually, the content is very unnutritious, and it's not even as attractive as the short ones from the parents.

Ji Kaiqing and Song Qingshu squatted quietly on the roof of the hall under the cover of night, because there were already people in front of them, they didn't dare to make too much noise, and the two of them were very careful when moving.Ji Kaiqing thought it was troublesome and directly turned on the small lightness kung fu, and used the lightness kung fu to change positions.

But Song Qingshu can't do this, after all Ji Kaiqing's lightness kung fu is completely different from his.Wudang's Ti Yunzong will make a little sound no matter what, and those with deeper skills will soon be able to capture the subtle sounds made when using lightness skills.As a result, Song Qingshu's movements were much slower than Ji Kaiqing's. Ji Kaiqing simply asked Song Qingshu to wait for him where he was, and he went to see what was going on before talking.

Walking a little further, I saw the fire on the other side of the tower. The torch was inserted by the side of the road to illuminate the large area in front of me. Although there will always be some places that cannot be illuminated, it is enough for people to walk around.Before approaching Wan'an Temple, Ji Kaiqing changed into dark clothes with Song Qingshu on purpose. There are quite a few black robes in his closet, but they all have those exquisite embroidery patterns. It will be somewhat reflective.But there's no way around it, it's better than two people running around in light-colored clothes at night.

After a cursory look, he determined where the people from the six sects were imprisoned. Combined with what Song Yuanqiao said earlier, Ji Kaiqing probably knew where the people in charge were, and then returned the same way.When I went back, I did see a few small soldiers, but Ji Kaiqing felt that there was no need to knock people out or kill them. There must be a certain number of people who can be here. It will attract the attention and vigilance of this group of people, and the loss outweighs the gain.

What to do this time is very simple, there is no need to be so anxious to confront the people of Ruyang Palace, what they have to do now is to sneak into the tower and see who is trapped inside.The most important thing is that Zhao Min is not here now, and it seems that the only person who can take care of it is the "Kututuo" who is called by those few people.

Ji Kaiqing has never seen this person before, and he has never heard of this person before. For the masters of Ruyang Palace, the only ones who have a little impression are Lu Zhangke and He Biweng, but the fate of these two people... Anyway, it is not No matter what.When Ji Kaiqing asked Song Qingshu, Song Qingshu knew a little bit, he introduced Ku Toutuo in a few words, and he focused on it very well.

Fan Yao, the Right Envoy of Guangming, who is as famous as the Left Envoy of the Ming Cult, Yang Xiao, is well-known in the world because of his handsome appearance and superb martial arts. He and Yang Xiao are collectively called the "Two Fairies of Xiaoyao" .However, anyone who has dealt with these two people for a while knows that these two people have nothing to do with "Xiaoyao".

When talking about this, Ji Kaiqing couldn't help interjecting: "Xiaoyao, what a fart, look at Yang Xiao's appearance, that face, I really don't want to say anything. You say you are a prodigal, no matter what One loves the other, at least we have dealt with the previous one before we can talk about the next one." He didn't have any sympathy for Ji Xiaofu, he just felt that it was a pity to end up in this situation, besides, since the last time in Bashu After leaving Wangyuan Town, I didn't hear from Ji Xiaofu anymore, but occasionally I could hear what Yang Xiao did again.Anyway, Yang Xiao didn't see any guilt towards Ji Xiaofu, but he was good to Yang Buhui, but he didn't know how long this "good" could last.

"Fan Yao is no better than Yang Xiao." Song Qingshu reached out to take the jug Ji Kaiqing handed over, took a small sip and pushed the cork back. In other words, even without too many scruples, it is normal to use some means that ordinary people would not do in order to achieve the goal."

Ji Kaiqing understood what he wanted to say, and nodded in agreement, "How many times have there been frictions between King Ruyang and Mingjiao, and there have been many fights, or Fan Yao is really powerful, just look at it like that Those who followed the Ming religion were killed by the men of King Ruyang."

He also did this kind of thing, but it was all playing games with friends, such as Werewolf Killing and the like.Sometimes Ji Kaiqing will push his teammates out to "explode himself" forcibly at critical moments. The fake jump prophet uses this to gain the support of the common people in order to win in the end.But what Fan Yao did was completely different from the game. These were all real people, but it cannot be said that what he did was wrong.

It can only be said that everyone has different ways and angles of doing things, and there are also many people who give up a lot of things for the sake of the overall situation.

Everyone has their own choice.

After knowing what was going on, Ji Kaiqing and Song Qingshu planned to find a chance to go into the tower to have a look, and it would not be too late to make plans after entering.As a result, when the two of them were just about to put away the flagon and set off, the small map showed that someone was approaching here, and they were two people Ji Kaiqing had seen.

He reached out his hand to stop Song Qingshu who was about to move, and signaled him to wait.Because I don't know who is coming, and I can't go directly to meet him. I can only know when someone approaches.

The place where Ji Kaiqing and Song Qingshu were sitting happened to be in the shadow of the roof of the hall. If they didn't make any noise, they might not be able to find them even if they walked past the hall.So when the people on the small map approached, Ji Kaiqing and Song Qingshu were in the dark, and they were in the light.

"Senior Yang, shall we just go in like this?"

The words that were deliberately lowered were very clear at this moment, and the tone and intonation were very familiar to Ji Kaiqing and Song Qingshu.

The two looked at each other, seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.
