Ruyi Jue

Yun Lian got the invitation card from Baijiazhuang, and led everyone from Ruyi Villa to pack up their travel things and leave the gate of Baijiazhuang.

Bai Wenshi and his party didn't know whether they felt guilty or worried that they would not leave easily, so they unexpectedly saw them off at the gate.

Yun Lian immediately smiled and said, "Grandpa doesn't need to send it off, we'll leave right now, we won't delay outside the door for too long."

Only then did Bai Wenshi gesture to them embarrassingly, then turned and walked back to the inner courtyard.

After a few hundred steps out of the gate of Baijiazhuang, Yun Lian divided the 17 people in the villa into four groups, and asked these people to change their appearance, hide their whereabouts, and return to Ruyi Villa along different roads.

All the guards were unwilling to leave just because they had protected Yun Lian as Shen Yufeng during this period of time, and Yun Lian's various charitable deeds to Ruyi Villa made them follow him sincerely.

"Right now, those who want to snatch bipolar skills are all staring at the sidelines, how can we leave young master at this time?"

"That's right, everyone is very powerful, so we can work together when we meet Xiao Xiaoxiao! Didn't the young master say that someone followed us to Duanzhou? Now is the time for everyone to advance and retreat together."

Yun Lian said: "In the past half a month, we have repeatedly broken through dangers and changed our route many times. We have already thrown off many people from the Jianghu who intend to follow us on the road. Now that we have entered the city, there are too many people and it is easy to become the target of the enemy. , it’s better to disperse.”

Seeing the hesitation on everyone's faces, he said again: "I know that everyone is reluctant to leave, but now there are only a small group of forces following Duanzhou, and there may be more people who lost track of us on the road and turned to go. Don't you want to protect your own home as the villa competes for bipolar skills? Let's go back as soon as possible."

At this point, it was a little unreasonable for everyone to ask to stay, and the remaining few who were more stubborn were still unwilling to leave, and asked to stay on their own initiative to divert the last wave of forces for Yun Lian.

After listening to their argument, Yun Lian cast a glance at Shen Yufeng, and said with a smile, "You all go back to the villa. I'll take Li Han with me."

Those people looked at each other in blank dismay.Li Han has been through life and death with everyone these days, and everyone has seen his level of strength. They thought in their hearts that if he couldn't protect Yun Lian, then the others couldn't even protect him. With the idea of ​​staying in Duanzhou, they all asked Yun Lian to leave.

The guards turned their horses around, divided into four groups according to Yun Lian's instructions, and left from the four gates of Duanzhou City separately.Shen Yufeng bid farewell to everyone. Seeing that everyone was still feeling sorry for the unfortunate death of his owner, and at the same time discussing the need to dig up the body of "Shen Yufeng" on the road and bring it back to Ruyi Villa, he couldn't bear it and planned to confess everything to the guards. But when he turned his gaze, Yun Lian was still watching. He changed his mind temporarily and thought, "These guards thought I was dead, so they tried every means to dig out my body and avenge me. It's really rare." I believe that as long as they return to the villa, with Uncle Li's persuasion, they will understand everything and don't need to worry too much."

Immediately, he didn't tell the guards the truth, and watched them ride away one by one.

Yun Lian rode the horse, deliberately controlled the rein, walked side by side with him, and said with a smile on his lips, "Why, can't bear it?"

He seemed to be in a very good mood, not only seeing off everyone in the villa with a smile, he was even in the mood to joke with himself.

Shen Yufeng also smiled and said nothing, Yun Lian continued to laugh and said, "You know the affairs of the Bai family very well."

Shen Yufeng said: "Before entering the villa, I heard something about the Bai family from the owner."

Yun Lian became angry for a moment, "Then why didn't he tell me?"

"This subordinate is not clear, young master, it is not too late, let's go on the road."

Shen Yufeng was worried that talking too much might reveal his secrets, so he took the initiative to change the topic, and drove the horse on the road.

Yun Lian snorted, dissatisfied with his unreasonable behavior, and followed him on horseback, and said behind him: "I have agreed in advance, I am here just for show. To save face, I will only stay for two days at most before leaving."

Shen Yufeng said casually: "Young Master, you can make up your own mind."

The two rode their horses and whips, galloped for half an hour, and left Duanzhou City.

***

Wuding Temple is located in a forest on the outskirts of Duanzhou City. The forest is lush and secluded. Following the instructions of the Bai family, the two entered the forest and bypassed the mountain stream. After a quarter of an hour, they came to the gate of a dilapidated temple. I saw that the gate of the temple was closed tightly, and a poem was written on each side of the gate, which together read: the six roots of karma become wisdom eyes, and there is nothing on the body to go to the Mao'an.

The two looked at each other and got off the horse at the same time. Yun Lian wanted to open the door and enter, but Shen Yufeng stopped him: "Let me come." He took the initiative to pass him to the door and knocked on the door lightly.

Yun Lian looked at his body standing in front of her and frowned slightly.It seems that since the meeting in the pavilion in the backyard of Baijiazhuang last night, Li Han's behavior has become more and more self-assertive, and he has become less and less like a guard.Especially the wisdom and responsiveness shown in persuading myself to design a trap to deceive the Bai family father and son just now in Baijiazhuang, as if he knows the Bai family father and son well, but I don't know why, but I completely trust his control and orders.

Yun Lian couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and at the same time began to slowly ask why this guard made him feel more and more like a person?

Following Shen Yufeng's knock on the door, a moment later, footsteps sounded inside the door, and then the door was opened from the inside out.

A young nun in purple opened the door, saw two strange men standing outside, and shouted coldly, "Who are you?"

Shen Yufeng said: "My master, the master of Ruyi Villa, wants to see his wife."

The nun raised eyebrows, pointed almond eyes, and was not easy to get along with at first glance, she said coldly: "You can enter if you want to, you must disarm before you can enter!"

Yun Lian stepped forward, stood side by side with Shen Yufeng, and said with a smile, "Do you need such a big rule if you want to see your mother?"

The nun's face turned red all of a sudden: "Hey, where did you come from such a shameless apprentice! Who is your mother here?"

Yun Lian said, "You'll know if you go in." With his head held high, he passed her and stepped directly into the door. Shen Yufeng didn't want to get entangled with this little nun on such a trivial matter, so he followed Yun Lian into Wuding Temple.

The nun became anxious all of a sudden, pulled out the long sword she was carrying, and put it in front of the two of them: "Stop! Stop! If you don't stop, I will strike!"

Yun Lian grinned and said, "The sword must be drawn quickly, and the blade must be steady. This is the first time for the girl to use a sword, right?"

He was really in a good mood today, and he was in the mood to joke with this little nun. He stretched out two fingers and pinched the blade as thin as a cicada's wing. The nun felt an internal force restraining herself through the long sword. The hand holding the sword couldn't move forward or backward, his eyes were red, and he was about to cry. Shen Yufeng was extremely helpless and wanted to persuade him a few words. At this time, a calm and sonorous female voice came from the temple: "Ningguang, let them in."

When Yun Lian heard the voice, he let go of his fingers immediately, and the nun had no choice but to take back the sword, and said in a firm tone, "Yes, the Lord." He glared at the two of them angrily, stepped back half a step, and made way for them: "Hmph, go in."

Yun Lian smiled and said, "It's not good for monks to have such a temper."

Then, without looking at her upturned face, she led Shen Yufeng directly into the temple.

When the two entered the living room, they saw a woman in brown clothes sitting on a futon with her back facing them, her voice was low and low, as if she was whispering something.And in front of her are things like Buddha statues and incense plates.

Yun Lian subconsciously shivered, restrained her frivolous smile, bowed respectfully, and said, "My child has seen his mother."

"It's Yu Feng, I haven't seen you for many years."

The woman stood up, turned around, and faced them with a Buddhist scripture in her hand.

The first time Yun Lian saw her appearance, he almost froze on the spot.

so similar.

Shen Yufeng's face resembled his mother's, with the same thin lips and bright eyes, but compared to Shen Yufeng's plump and handsome face, Bai Muhua's face did not have such sharp lines, and his cheeks were much thinner.

Shen Yufeng himself was even more emotionally fluctuating. Seeing that his biological mother was close in front of him, but he couldn't go up to greet her, one could imagine the annoyance in his heart. In order to hide his excitement, he deliberately stepped back a few steps and stood by the door.

Bai Muhua gave him a strange look, then turned his head to Yun Lian, and said, "I didn't expect Yu Feng to grow up, and his appearance has changed, my mother almost couldn't recognize him."

Yun Lian smiled reluctantly. Fortunately, Shen Yufeng had been separated from his mother since he was a child, and Bai Muhua hadn't been able to see his son's appearance when he grew up. Since he came outside Duanzhou City, he began to cover up the red mole on his nose, and at the same time deliberately imitated I believe Shen Yufeng's words and deeds should be able to deceive many members of the Bai family.

Sure enough, Bai Muhua only looked at him for a while, without raising any questions, he turned the topic to serious matters.

"My son, I haven't seen you for many years, why are you suddenly interested in visiting my mother?"

The tone was neither cold nor cold, as distant and indifferent as Bai Wenshi, and he was not as enthusiastic as he had imagined for the son who came to visit unexpectedly.

Yun Lian relaxed his mind, and said with a smile, "Mother doesn't want the baby to come? Or, did mother not receive the invitation from Baijiazhuang?"

Bai Muhua put down the Buddhist scriptures in his hand, walked over, and took Yun Lian's hand: "What's the matter, my mother has been thinking about my son all the time for many years, come on, mother has a lot of things to say to you " She held Yun Lian's hand and was about to go out, Yun Lian pointedly looked at Shen Yufeng by the door.

"Mother, there is another person beside me, should I settle him down first?"

Bai Muhua suddenly nodded and said, "Yes, it's time to prepare a place for you to rest."

She only heard her call: "Ningyu".

"Master." A young nun walked in slowly from the door.

"Prepare a guest house for the young master."

Ningyu replied yes, and then pointed to Shen Yufeng: "There is still this benefactor."

Bai Muhua glanced at Shen Yufeng, and said coldly, "Do you need a servant too?"

Shen Yufeng was taken aback subconsciously, feeling that her words were really mean and hurtful, Yun Lian was also taken aback for a moment, and quickly said: "Mother, this is the guard with the highest martial arts in my villa at present, not an ordinary servant."

Bai Muhua hummed, but still didn't give Shen Yufeng any good looks, and just waved his hand casually: "Then arrange him to live in the innermost wing of the west wing."

Then the clothes fluttered, and she led Yun Lian out of the living room, not knowing where she went.

The nun named Ningyu said to Shen Yufeng: "The benefactor, please come with the poor nun."

Shen Yufeng was also helpless, he didn't understand that even if his mother didn't recognize him, she wouldn't be so taunting to him.He looked at the uniform of the Shen family guards he was wearing. Could it be that his mother wanted to show power to the Shen family because she hated the members of the Shen family?

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it and followed Ning Yu to the West Chamber.

After arriving at the West Wing, he felt even more confused about his mother. It turned out that the place Bai Muhua arranged for him to stay was next door to the Chaifang. Foreigners.

The female nun Ningyu's face was also a bit sad, she hesitated to speak, as if she wanted to explain a few words, Shen Yufeng spoke before her: "Thank you, miss, I am very grateful."

Ningyu could only take back her words, bowed to him, and left the west chamber.

Wuding Temple is full of female nuns, and it is already very tolerant for Shen Yufeng to let a big man live in the nunnery. He didn't dare to walk around in the temple at will, so he simply entered the room, took off his outer robe, and took off his shoes on the couch , Practice on the bed.

Since he went out, he has practiced the wishful mind method for several days, and he has gained a lot. He just feels as if the haze that has shrouded his eyes for many years has been pushed away one by one, and many unsolved problems have been solved in the process of exercise. His skills have risen to a higher level.

But it is a pity that the problems that occurred that day still cannot be broken through. Every time the skill reaches the point where the two channels are connected, he cannot make a step forward, so he has not been able to fully grasp the method of connecting the two channels of yin and yang.

He is a person who goes with the situation, and when there is a condensate, he is not in a hurry to break it by force, but stops and slowly thinks about the incompleteness.

***

This luck lasted until dusk.He felt hungry, so he stopped practicing, put on his clothes again, and opened the door to go out.

He didn't know the way, so he walked again along the way he came during the day.

Xu Shi was having dinner time, and he didn't see anyone on the road, and Yun Lian didn't know where he was going.

Shen Yufeng walked all the way, and finally saw a wing room with flickering lights and the smell of food, walked over and asked outside the door: "Where can I have dinner?"

There were few outsiders in Wudingguan, and the young nuns who were eating at a table looked at the door in surprise. Some of them were thin-skinned and began to cover up, but Ningyu who led him to the west wing during the day was good at To entertain outsiders, he took him to the back kitchen graciously and arranged rice and some side dishes for him.

Shen Yufeng thanked her, picked up his job bowl, and asked her: "Which room do you live in, the master of the temple? I have some things to say to the master in person."

Ningyu said: "The master and Mr. Shen are eating in the room. The master said that he has not seen the master for many years. It may be very late tonight, so he told us not to disturb."

"I see." He nodded and stopped asking.

After dinner alone, he followed the courtyard and returned to the wing room where he was staying.

The nuns in the temple seemed to be used to going to bed early, and they all lay down before you, and the surroundings were quiet, except for a few night lamps swaying and swinging in the wind, there seemed to be a subtle and imperceptible screaming sound.

He stopped and looked up subconsciously, only to see a white figure standing on the eaves.

It was Yun Lian.

He was quite puzzled, since Yun Lian was here, what the little nun said was that the temple master and him had dinner in the room and had a long talk all night?

Yun Lian stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

"Young master." Shen Yufeng called out from below.

Yun Lian didn't even look at him: "It's stuffy in the room, I'll stand outside for a while and then go back, you go back first."

The last time Shen Yufeng saw such a strange and vigilant behavior from him was in the backyard of Baijiazhuang, when he was waiting for Teng Yao to come to report the news, Shen Yufeng asked deliberately: "Did the gang of thieves follow?"

When Yun Lian heard this, he finally looked over. He just replied yes, but quickly changed his words: "No, don't worry, go to sleep."

Shen Yufeng knew that he wouldn't tell himself too much, so he didn't have to ask too much to make him suspicious.

"Well, be careful, young man."

He entered the room in a wild way of thinking, closed the door bolt, thought for a while, and put down the door bolt again.

If there is an enemy attack tonight, it doesn't make any difference whether the door is bolted or not. An unbolted door can buy him more time.

As soon as he turned around, he saw a woman in a brown and purple robe sitting in his room at some point.

Shen Yufeng stopped subconsciously. Because he was thinking about Yun Lian, he didn't notice that there was another breath in the room besides him.

Bai Muhua sat meditating on the kang in the wing room, when he heard his voice entering the room, he opened his eyes and said in a calm tone, "My son, why don't you want to call out when you see your mother?"
