Poor monks do not break the precepts

Over the years, Xuanji Pavilion has investigated countless things, big and small, in the Jianghu, and there are also records of secret transactions in the Qishan Mountains every three months.When Xinli saw the news at first, he also sent someone to investigate secretly, but the people who went there did not find any sales fair held in Lianqi Mountains.Later, Xinli asked Luo Chen to go there twice, but he didn't find anything, so he thought it was a rumor in the world, and didn't take it seriously. He made a few notes, and Xinli sealed the matter in the Xuanji Pavilion's archives.

"Xinli stuffed the hanging money to Xiaoer, pretending to be curious and said: "What does the jade plaque look like? "

Xiao Er took a sling of money and quickly stuffed it into the money bag hanging on his waist, and carefully looked at the people in Huai Mingmo.He saw that Huai Mingmo, the leader, was dressed as a weak young man. He guessed that he didn't look like a martial arts person. He thought he was a child of a noble family traveling out of curiosity. Omniscient four words."

Xin Li looked at the appearance of the jade pendant that Xiao Er was gesturing, and exchanged glances with Zheng Fengnian, as if he didn't know it, he said: "What is a moonless night?"

Xiao Er stroked his chin and tried to remember for a while, then hesitatingly said: "It seems to be a place that sells secret affairs of the world, martial arts secret books, and even legendary medicines. I heard that someone bought Yu Qiongsheng there. But, there are rumors in the world. , Nine out of ten rumors are false, who knows if they are exaggerated."

Huai Mingmo heard Xiaoer mention Yu Qiongsheng, his brows flickered slightly, and he said calmly: "So many people are vying for a jade medal, it doesn't look like it's fake."

"Moonless Night is of course true. Who knows what business they are doing." Xiao Er slowly poured tea for them, and said with a smile: "Guest officials, if you are really interested, you can go to Lianqi Mountain to have a look. I heard that Moonless Night It will be held in seven days, and there is still time for the guest officials to rush there."

Seeing that Xiao Er seemed to have something to say, Zheng Fengnian immediately understood and said with a smile: "I just want to go and have a look out of curiosity, we don't know exactly where it is, and when will it start."

"Hey, I forgot to tell the guest officers." Xiaoer paused, until Xinli threw him another ten taels of silver, and smiled and took out a greasy map from his sleeve, "Guest officer Depart from Maliang Town and follow the route on the map, and you can arrive there in seven or eight days at a fast pace." Xiaoer's voice became softer, and he almost said with his lips: "The business starts when Xiaohan is in the middle of the night."

Luo Chen has been to the Lianqi Mountains to investigate twice, and the location shown on the map was also roughly searched at that time, but nothing happened.He was a little disbelieving: "The Lianqi Mountains are long and deep. I have traveled to Lianqi Mountains, so I can see that there are no buildings and villas there."

Xiaoer waved his hands and whispered, "Hey. I heard that the place was built in the mountains, and there is no trace on the surface. You have to find a stone tablet. I heard that the stone tablet is engraved with the same four characters as the back of the jade tablet. Go into the mountain The entrance of the cave is near the stele, but..." Xiaoer scratched his head and smiled lightly, "It's enough for the guests to take a look outside the cave, and you have to hold a jade pendant to enter that place."

Huai Mingmo sounded interesting, "Could it be that the many martial arts people who went there didn't force their way in?"

"There are many hidden guards guarding the entrance of the cave, but they are all top experts. There is no difference between rushing in and dying, otherwise, what are you doing here and making trouble here?"

The sound of fighting outside the restaurant is still not calm, but inside the shop is peaceful, people come and go, Xiaoer sees more and more people, so he is busy to say hello.Xinli looked at the figure of Xiao Er walking through the store, and said sarcastically, "I don't know how many copies of maps Xiao Er has sold in this shop. It's really good money."

Zheng Fengnian always paid attention to the situation outside the restaurant, and said in a low voice: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time."

Huai Mingmo was neither arrogant nor impetuous, he rested his chin on one hand and listened to Zang Li's satisfying sound of wolfing down from time to time, and said slowly: "We are going to leave in such a hurry that it will be eye-catching, and those people outside will be suspicious immediately when they find that the jade plaque is missing. We will be chased and beaten by them in the next few days."

When the Lianqi Mountains were mentioned in the capital, Xinli had expected Huaiming Mo's thoughts, so he purposely took a rest in Maliang Town, who would have found out so much information by mistake, and knew that they must have a party to go to Lianqi Mountains.But except for Xin Li, everyone else was kept in the dark, Luo Chen said in surprise: "Pavilion master is really going to Lian Qishan?"

Zang Li's mouth was full of food, and her speech was slurred, "What about Mrs. Ji's birthday?"

Huai Mingmo smiled and said: "There is still more than a month before the old lady's birthday, go to Lian Qishan to find out what's going on, and it won't be too late to go back."

Xin Li looked at Huai Mingmo, and said with a smirk, "Yes, maybe we can find out about the Miao Monk there."

"Wonderful monk... isn't he just an incense thief?" Luo Chen's voice became lower and lower, and the shop was full of voices. They sat in an inconspicuous position in the corner, so Luo Chen boldly said: "Does the pavilion master think Will the Fragrant Pirates go?"

Huai Mingmo's expression was so indifferent that others couldn't see his thoughts, so he thought for a while, "Whether he goes or not, this place is really weird, so we have to investigate."

Zheng Fengnian echoed: "That's right, this place is secretive, has a weird style, and is guarded by top experts. Just now the waiter in the shop said that Yu Qiongsheng was sold, I'm afraid it's not groundless, after all, doesn't Miao Monk have it? "

Luo Chen hurriedly said: "That's right, otherwise, where did the incense thief get Yu Qiongsheng from?"

Having made a plan, the time was very short, and they didn't dare to delay too much. When the restaurant was crowded with people, they took the opportunity to sneak in and leave.Most of the people still fighting outside the building are only second-rate people in the world. Even if they saw Huai Mingmo, no one connected him with the hidden world villa.Although some people noticed that Zheng Fengnian and the others were traveling with swords, they all regarded them as guards of the mansion, so no one stopped them, and watched the carriage roll up dust and sand and go farther and farther.

It took about seven days to travel day and night from Ma Liang Town to Lianqi Mountain, but it took Huaimingmo less than six days to reach the foot of Lianqi Mountain, which exhausted both Luo Chen and Zheng Fengnian.They have already arrived at the foot of Lianqi Mountain, and they arrived two days earlier, so they decided to stay at the inn at the foot of the mountain for two days to recover their energy.Although the inn is simple and dilapidated, it is better than sleeping in the open in the mountains.

In the past two days, the business of the Wuming inn at the foot of Lianqi Mountain has been very good. On the evening of the day when Huai Mingmo came, the guest rooms of this inn were already fully occupied, and the guests who entered the inn later could only be aggrieved to make floor bedding in the firewood room.The atmosphere in the inn was weird, no one talked to outsiders, it was very quiet all day long, everyone knew the other party's intentions, but they all kept silent about the moonless night.

The moonless night was held on a night that coincided with the minor cold season, and there were towering giant trees everywhere in the mountains and forests. The originally weak sunlight was blocked by lush leaves, but the biting cold still couldn't stop the determination of the visitors.Not long after noon, the inn gradually became less populated, and everyone deliberately hid their whereabouts, and no one noticed when many people left the inn.

The owner of the inn is a woman who still has charm, and she exudes seductive charm with her frown and smile. No one dares to provoke such a beauty, which shows what kind of character she is.

The proprietress poured tea for Huaiming Mo herself, smiling sweetly, "Are the guest officials going to the Omniscient Building too?"

"Does the proprietress know where it is?"

The proprietress squinted at the older Zheng Fengnian, "Did any of the guests who come to my inn go there at this season?"

Zheng Feng has not been sexually attracted to women for a long time, and when he is hooked by this wave of light, he feels his whole body turns crisp, and he almost can't control it.He touched his nose and coughed lightly, looked away and said, "I don't know how we can get to the omniscient building?"

Hearing that the proprietress didn't hide anything, she smiled softly and said: "Follow the small road behind the inn up the mountain, there is a three-way road halfway up the mountain, you follow the small road with many people walking in. I see some Qinggong It’s all good, if you walk along that path for three hours, you’ll be there.”

The speaker was relaxed, but the listener was very surprised. Xinli immediately understood why he hadn't found it at the beginning. The Lianqi Mountain Range is deep and long. After three hours of Qinggong, it is already the hinterland of the mountain range. The terrain is complicated, and it is not easy to find it.

The proprietress saw them dumbfounded and said nothing, she covered her mouth and chuckled, "I advise you not to go. You need a pass to enter the omniscience building. I'm afraid that you will be blocked outside the building after working hard to get there. Wouldn't it be a waste of effort." With her fingertips lightly touching her lower lip, the landlady's eyebrows and eyes moved slightly from time to time to look at Huai Mingmo, and she didn't move her beautiful eyes until Xin Li hummed dissatisfiedly, "This young man...is he a ruthless young man? ?”

Huai Mingmo generously admitted: "It's just here."

When the proprietress heard Huai Mingmo's answer, she was a little flustered, and glanced at the door of a side room upstairs that had been closed for many days.She turned pale as if seeing a ghost crawling out of hell, swallowed her saliva nervously, restrained her seductive obsequiousness, and said with a light smile: "I'll send a boy to send you to the Omniscient Building, so that you don't have to worry about it." A few lost their way in the mountains."

Huai Mingmo smiled and said, "Don't dare to bother."

"It should be." The proprietress took a purse from her waist and put it on the table, and said respectfully: "Young master, go to the dark side where you hand over the contents of the purse to the guards, and they will let you in." Even if the proprietress moves again Lightly, there was still a crisp sound when the purse touched the table, "I still have to entertain other guests, please feel free, Mr. Ruthless. I will immediately send someone to wait outside the inn, you can go anytime."

When there was no one else around, Xinli quietly opened the purse and looked inside. It was indeed a jade plaque, "Master, this..."

Luo Chen stared straight at the guest room upstairs, and said impulsively: "This inn is very weird, I'll go to that guest room to have a look, who the hell lives in it?"

"Don't be rude." Huai Mingmo said coldly, "The proprietress and the young servants in the inn are not inferior in martial arts. If there are disputes, we may not get benefits."

Zheng Fengnian nodded in agreement, and said cautiously: "The person who can change the face of the proprietress can be seen to be terrifying. Besides, I don't think the tone of the proprietress just now seems deceitful. Let's go to the omniscient building to see the situation first. It is necessary to cause trouble at this time."

Luo Chen thought of Zheng Fengnian's appearance just now, and teased: "You can't be seduced by this beautiful woman, right?"

Huai Mingmo withdrew his mind from the mysterious guest room, and said with a smile: "Brother Zheng is not the proprietress's opponent, whoever has a deep and shallow knowledge can be separated."

Zheng Fengnian's cheeks were slightly red, and he said uncomfortably: "The pavilion master is also messing around with Luo Chen."

The people in the inn had almost left, it was very cold and lonely, only the violent north wind outside the inn kept whistling.A corner of the inn is like a song of birds and birds in spring, appearing at an inappropriate time, but it makes people feel a little more alive.The guest in the guest room glanced out of the room through the window, and there was a breathless smile on the corner of his mouth, as soft as clouds floating in the sky.

After chatting and joking for a while, and counting the time was about the same, Huai Mingmo and the others followed the servants arranged by the proprietress into the mountain.The boy who led the way was just as they had guessed, a master of lightness kung fu, thanks to all of them being good at lightness kung fu, they didn't get lost on the way.

The boy sent people to the stone tablet and said respectfully: "I will send a few guest officials here. The guest officials only need to walk forward to reach the entrance of the cave."

Huai Mingmo was extraordinarily polite, "Thank you, big brother." Before he could finish his sentence, a black shadow rushed past him, and he immediately touched his belt, but he did not see a jade plaque, "Chase."

The thief who stole the jade card was very good at light attack, erratic in the bushes, like a small clumsy swallow flying in the forest, always keeping a distance from his pursuers, even Huai Mingmo couldn't get close.

"Yan Xunxing really lives up to its reputation." Huai Mingmo followed the little thief closely, making it impossible for him to get rid of it.

The little thief heard the name of his qinggong, and suddenly stopped, standing on the branch like a swallow, "Young Master Wuqing's Ditian Jue also opened my eyes, it is really powerful."

Xin Li followed closely behind, and said angrily, "It's so easy for you to steal a jade token with nothing, so why bother picking my young master's one."

"It's not fun, it's too easy to get other people's money." Miaoshou Kongkong'er looked stubborn, twitching the purse strap with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Di Tian Jue has been lost for many years, but I didn't expect it to be learned by Master Ruruth. I've finally seen it. It's a pity that I can't compare the outcome, otherwise it would be easy to shut his mouth."

Huai Mingmo asked puzzledly: "He? Who is it?"

Miao Shou Empty Seeing the number of people coming gradually increased, he moved his feet a little half a step, and was ready to flee.He rolled his eyes, and snorted: "There are many good qinggong masters in the world, the one who can make Xinyue submit to him is Duxiang Pirate, who would dare to say that my qinggong is not good except him."

Zang Li said bluntly: "That strange monk?!"

Miaoshou Kongkonger was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect these people to reveal the identity of the incense thief, he was dumb for a moment, then smiled and said: "What's the strange monk? I'm talking about the incense thief, how can I be with someone who is full of gods and Buddhas?" The monk got involved."

Although Miaoshoukongkong'er is a thief, he is an elegant thief like the Fragrant Pirates. He is righteous and trustworthy, so he will not betray the Fragrant Pirates.Huai Mingmo knew the reasoning very well, so he just smiled at Miaoshou Kongkonger's pale sophistry, but Zang Li didn't know the reasons, so she couldn't help hearing it confused, but when she wanted to ask again, she suddenly smelled a strange fragrance in the air , the surrounding murderous intent is getting stronger and stronger, and the big battle is coming.

With a dignified expression, Xinli drew his long sword ready to strike, "Everyone, be careful, there are a lot of people coming."

Huai Mingmo knew that he would bear the brunt of being besieged, so he showed no fear at all, and smiled lightly: "It seems that they have learned the previous lesson, and this time they intend to catch us all."

"It's not that easy." Luo Chen drew his sword and said in a cold voice: "Today they still have gone without returning."

Miaoshou Kongkonger looked at the posture in front of him, couldn't help shrugging his shoulders and thought he was unlucky, after all, although his lightness kungfu is good, his martial arts is really bad, there is no difference between fighting with people and dying.Miaoshou Kongkonger felt the chilling atmosphere around him, his legs were a little weak from fright, his hands were grasping the tree trunk, and his voice trembled slightly, "Hey, hey, can you really beat them?"

Huai Mingmo's expression was indifferent, and he said in a calm tone: "Luo Chen and Zang Li are responsible for protecting Kong Kong'er, and there must be no mistakes."

Before the words were finished, a man walked out of the forest, cupped his fists and bowed to Huai Mingmo, "Pavilion Master, the subordinates are late."

Huai Mingmo shook his head when he heard the sound, and said with concern: "Brother Xiang, be careful, this group of people is not easy to deal with."

There were so many visitors, there was not enough manpower, yet Huai Mingmo took two of them away to protect the others. This battle was really hard for everyone.The hidden guards who came to assassinate seemed to be endless, one after another fell, and the flying arrows rained down so that there was nowhere to hide. The pitch-black arrows and arrow bodies made it difficult to distinguish from the darkness.After smelling the strange fragrance for a long time, everyone except Zang Li gradually felt that their bodies were limp and unable to use their strength, and it didn't take long for several people's clothes to be scratched by sharp arrows. The killers around gradually became powerless, and the trend of decline gradually emerged.

"Why do you look like this every time I see you?" Chen Xiang's sudden appearance shocked everyone present, it was beyond everyone's expectations, but it seemed to be expected.

When he was distracted, several cold arrows were shot towards Huai Mingmo's back. The arrows were so fast that they were about to pierce through Huai Mingmo's heart veins.Huaiming Mo suddenly felt someone hugging his back, the man exerted a little force on his wrist, and pulled Huai Ming Mo into his arms, his steps were as light as smoke, and he easily dodged several cold arrows.

Taking Huai Mingmo to a safer place, the man turned his wrist and used his internal force to twirl a bunch of dead leaves on the ground casually. With his arm and wrist, the dead leaves flew out like a hidden weapon with a thin blade, cutting through the spot where the arrow was released just now. The carotid arteries of several people.Hearing this, several people fell down, and the man said indifferently like the bright moon: "Shooting a cold arrow in the back hurts someone, and death is more than justified."

Huai Mingmo was quite astonished in his words, but also had a hint of joy, and said, "It's you?"

"Monk Xusheng?!" Xin Li and Luo Chen exclaimed when they saw the person clearly.

There were also several secret guard leaders who were equally surprised, and they said in unison: "What?!" One of the secret guard leaders was even more frightened: "How is it possible? I obviously received the news that you have gone to the Western Regions."

Only Miaoshou Kongkonger was not surprised at all, he laughed and clapped his hands and said, "I know you don't want me to die." After finishing speaking, he took advantage of the temporary break in the battle and disappeared without a trace, leaving only laughter in the forest echo.

Xu Sheng didn't answer anyone's words, his expression was gloomy and gloomy, he squinted his eyes and glanced around, he was silent for a long time without emotion and said coldly to Chen Xiang, "Kill them all."

"Yes." At the same time as Chen Xiang replied, a group of black-faced men in black night clothes and half-masks suddenly appeared in the forest.
