The mother and son haven't seen each other for many years, and it's rare that they have a lot to say. Bai Muhua talked late at night in his room before leaving.

The night was calm and nothing happened.Early the next morning, Shen Yufeng was meditating in his room and heard continuous noises from outside, among which Yun Lian's voice appeared the most. His curiosity was aroused, and he put on his clothes and got out of bed.

When he opened the door, he saw Yun Lian commanding six or seven nuns, including Ning Guang and Ning Yu, to dig holes in the backyard.

There were three caves, about three feet wide, and the bottom was invisible. The excavated yellow mud was piled up next to the cave entrance, which was as high as a small mountain. Several nuns were so busy that they were sweating like rain. Lian was still dressed in clean white clothes, sitting at the side, ordering the crowd leisurely.

Before Bai Muhua left last night, Shen Yufeng had told her that no matter what Yun Lian did next, he would try his best to meet his request, so as not to startle the snake. Therefore, these nuns obeyed the Lord's words and were sent by Yun Lian to dig holes. Dare to have half a complaint.

Shen Yufeng walked over and asked him, "What do you want to do, young master?"

Yun Lian half-lyed and sat under the shade of a tree, squinting his eyes, with a relaxed expression, and said, "It's nothing, just a small trap."

He dug these holes just to deal with the coming Tianluo Palace people, presumably he found something on the roof last night, Shen Yufeng quickly understood, and took a step forward: "When do you think that group of people will appear? ?”

Yun Lian, who was blocked from the sunlight by him, opened his eyes and stared at him blankly.

Shen Yufeng met his scrutinizing eyes, and realized that his tone was wrong, and he really didn't look like a subordinate, so he subconsciously took two steps back, "The subordinate understands, it seems that there will be a tough battle tonight."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care what Yun Lian would reply, and walked away quickly to the back kitchen.

He had a feeling that Yun Lian had been showing off frequently in front of Yun Lian these past few days, and Yun Lian was about to discover his true identity, so he should try to show up in front of him as little as possible in the future.

After eating breakfast, he strolled around Wuding Temple for a while, and then returned to the backyard. Seeing the sun was shining, the group of little nuns in purple clothes were sweating profusely, and they still didn't dare to stop under Yun Lian's order. work and rest.

He couldn't bear it and walked over to help.

Those nuns were either born as abandoned babies, or were abducted and vagrant since they were young. They grew up in Wudingguan until they were teenagers, and they had hardly seen outsiders. When they first saw a foreign man like Shen Yufeng, they were all ashamed and dared not face them. , After explaining to him, he found that he was so approachable, and began to return to his original nature, chatting around him chirping.

One of the nuns had a soft, delicate voice, which was very nice. Shen Yufeng smiled and said, "You have a Yangzhou accent, so you should be from Yangzhou."

The nun said in surprise, "Brother Li, can you tell me where I am from?"

Shen Yufeng smiled and said, "Of course, don't you know?"

"I don't know. I was abducted by human traffickers when I was very young. I have never met my parents, and I don't know where I am from."

Shen Yufeng suppressed his smile and asked, "What should the days of being kidnapped and sold be like?"

The nun said: "When we were young, we were controlled by a group of beggars who beat us every day, told us to work and didn't give us food, and some little friends had their legs broken by them, and they went to the street to beg for money and If we don’t get enough money, we will be beaten again, but fortunately, we met the master later, who gave us a place to live and a home.”

Shen Yufeng nodded. He was just asking casually, but he didn't expect that the life of a child who was lonely and helpless since childhood was much more difficult than he imagined.With a sudden thought, he raised his eyes to look at Yun Lian not far away.

Logically speaking, Yun Lian is a hidden stake sent by Tianluo Palace to Yun's family, so he should also be an orphan before entering Tianluo Palace, maybe he was abducted and sold to Tianluo Palace just like these nuns. Suffered a lot of inhuman abuse there.

He was engrossed in his thoughts, when he suddenly heard Yun Lian's voice resoundingly beside him: "This hole is not deep enough, keep digging."

Yun Lian stared at the young nun coldly, and when he received Shen Yufeng's gaze, he glanced at him provocatively: "You guys are very leisurely."

Shen Yufeng didn't understand why he was suddenly angry. He was helpless, so he grabbed the nun and said, "Let me dig. You've been tired all morning, so go and rest first."

"Who allowed her to go down to rest? I told her to work, not you." Yun Lian frowned, his eyes became colder, and his eyes were fixed on the hand that was touching the nun.

The nun obeyed the master's order, and did not dare to disobey the master's son's wishes. She pouted, walked to the other side, picked up the shovel on the ground and continued digging.

When she got out of the cave, Yun Lian turned his head halfway, gave Shen Yufeng a cold look, and then walked away again.

Shen Yufeng wanted to intercede for her, but when he thought about what Yun Lian was staring at in the morning, he worried that he would reveal too much if he opened his mouth, so he had to ignore it and let Yun Lian play his temper. Disappeared, leaving only dissatisfaction.

This day, nothing was done except digging holes and transporting soil. After digging three big holes in the backyard, Yun Lian ordered the group of nuns to bring some fodder and spread them on the top of the holes to cover up the traces of the holes.

***

When it was dark, Shen Yufeng ate dinner, sat in his broken house to rest, and heard Ningyu knock on the door outside the house, saying that Bai Muhua had summoned him, he said hello, and came to yesterday's hall.

After entering the door, he found Bai Muhua still sitting on the futon, raised his eyes to see him coming, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't show any good looks.

Seeing no one around, he called out, "Mother."

Only then did Bai Muhua smile and said, "Well, my son is here, I have something to ask you for my mother."

Shen Yufeng walked over: "Mom is studying exercises again?"

Bai Muhua hummed, "You have also practiced Bipolar Kung Fu, tell mother." She picked up the yellow booklet in her hand and pointed to a section, "How should I explain this part? To be honest, I am stuck here for my mother." It’s been a long time.”

Shen Yufeng looked at the text she was pointing at from a distance. This was the basic part of the yin and yang dual veins he had practiced since childhood. It was not difficult for him to understand. He explained it to his mother immediately. .

After hearing this, Bai Muhua frowned and fell into deep thought. After a while, he shook his head and said, "No, no, your method is wrong. Here it is clear that you practice the yin meridian first, and then the yang meridian. Why do you do it the other way around?" Do it?"

Shen Yufeng said: "Mom believes in me, just keep practicing."

Bai Muhua practiced again according to his instructions, but this time she still couldn't practice smoothly. She was originally an impatient person. At first, under Shen Yufeng's comfort, she was able to practice patiently, but after four or five blows in succession Finally, she was very discouraged, and angrily threw the yellow booklet on the ground.

"Don't practice, don't practice, maybe my mother really has no chance with this set of exercises. I have practiced for many years, but I still have nothing!"

Shen Yufeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mother, practice must be done step by step. How can you gain anything if you are so irritable?"

Bai Muhua snorted: "I don't believe it, there must be something wrong with this exercise, or Shen Xingzhou is plotting against me! Forget it, my mother can't practice it anyway, so I will burn it tomorrow!"

Shen Yufeng wanted to persuade him again, but suddenly he heard a scream from outside, exactly the same as what he heard last night.

It's just that compared with the weak voice heard last night, the voices filling the inside and outside of Guanyu at this time are as sharp as owls and stern as dragons, shaking people's ears and stirring their hearts.

"There is movement outside." He immediately became vigilant, took out the "Weeping Bone" flute from his arms, and placed it in front of him.

The voice was getting closer and louder, and in an instant, it was already close at hand. Shen Yufeng thought to himself that fortunately, the group of young nuns are used to going to bed early, so they should not have been affected in any way.

Bai Muhua hurriedly put the yellow booklet back into his sleeve, and looked up at Shen Yufeng: "It seems that those people are still not left behind by you."

Shen Yufeng said: "Yes." Walking to the door, he watched the movement outside through the crack of the door.

There was a flash of white light outside the door, and Yun Lian flashed out from the backyard and landed on the eaves, holding the "Ming Xin" sword, with a stern look, fixedly watching the movement of Wudingguanguanmen.

Suddenly, there was an inexplicable pause in the screaming sound that resounded through the long night. After a moment, there was an even louder screaming sound. Shen Yufeng saw his eyebrows tremble, and there was a murderous intent in his eyes, and then he jumped from the roof. Flying down, leaping towards the indeterminate view.

The screams in the air became louder and louder, and soon after, the sound of shouting and shouting fists and kicks came faintly from outside the door, and it was obvious that there was a battle outside.

It was rare for Bai Muhua to become nervous: "What's going on?"

"It's okay, just wait and see what happens." Shen Yufeng gestured to her, keeping his eyes on the outside of the house, "I believe he can handle it."

Yun Lian rushed out of Wudingguan, and rushed directly into the woods, the screams lingering around Guanyu stopped suddenly, and then saw a red figure chasing after him.

The red figure rushed behind him, and the clinking of silver ornaments kept ringing. Yun Lian rushed deep into the dense forest, turned around and drew out the "Ming Xin" sword, and fought her.

The figure flickered from left to right, advancing and retreating, as if playing with Yun Lian, and there was a hidden laughter as he walked: "Eleven, you can hide."

This person is none other than Teng Yao who tipped off Yun Lian the night before.

"Miss Teng," Yun Lian deftly confronted her, "Are you the only one here?"

Teng Yao smiled and said: "Guess what, Xiao Shiyi? You killed the five little ghosts who are most loved by the ghost master in the palace, will the ghost master let you go easily? Sigh," she was fighting with Yun Lian During this time, I still did not forget to pretend to be sad, "Who told the ghost master to know that you and I have the best friendship in the palace, and sent this girl to be the vanguard of the night attack. In order to live up to the ghost master's love, this girl must carry a gun into battle , righteousness kills relatives."

Yun Lian knew very well that it was definitely Tianluo ghost master's order for Teng Yao to attack him. Teng Yao deliberately said this in order to play a show in front of him, implying that she was not the only one sent by the ghost master on this trip.

And this person is definitely above Teng Yao, otherwise Teng Yao would not be so cautious and kept saying strange things.

In the dark night, the light was dizzying and the atmosphere was mesmerizing. The figures of the two were intertwined in the forest. When Teng Yao passed him by, she suddenly whispered in his ear: "Go quickly."

She pretended to be repelled by Yun Lian for a few steps, threw her long sleeves, and used a cover-up to cover Yun Lian. Unfortunately, before she could make a move, there was a piercing scream from a distance, followed by a Small stones flew towards her, smashing her red long sleeves into rags.

Teng Yao exasperatedly said: "Sick and dead ghost, you are so despicable!"

A calm voice came from the forest: "Miss Teng, if I don't make a move, I'm afraid this kid will run away."

As if in the blink of an eye, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.This person has a white and beardless face, sunken facial features, and an unconcealable blue-black color under his eyes. The torso under the robe is empty, and he seems to be extremely weak.In stark contrast to this, his austere and unadorned robe is gilded all over the body, and a bright peony flower is embroidered from top to bottom.

Yun Lian smiled and said, "So Shi Zhan is here too. Well, it's a lively night. The ghost master really took great pains to kill me, an unknown pawn."

It's good that Teng Yao helped him leave with good intentions, but he had no intention of leaving at all. Compared to Teng Yao's anger, he didn't think there was anything to be annoyed at all, and even, all of this was within his expectation.

The ghost wants to kill him, so naturally it is impossible to send Teng Yao, who has a long history of friendship with him, and the only person in the palace who can kill him in one fell swoop is Shi Zhan himself.

Tianluo Palace not only has the Luo family ghost master, but also has four evil spirits sitting below. One of these four people died in the Jianghu vendetta in the early years, and now only three evil spirits remain, and among these three evil spirits, the highest-ranking "sick and dead ghost" teacher Zhan has the deepest skill.

Shi Zhan is skilled in poisoning, he is good at making poison with hundreds of flowers, and he has a very strong "Splitting Stone Palm". The ghost master sent Shi Zhan over because he was determined to clean him up.
