He Huan

Chapter 4

Although it was a little far from the official road, the town was obviously much more lively than they thought.

"It's better to stay here for more time," Tang Huan suggested. "Today is July [-]th, and the Ghost Festival will be in a few days. Even if there are no temples nearby, there will be some interesting things to come."

Ming Du said: "It's all right. I don't really care about those empty etiquettes, but it's good to be lively."

Tang Huan smiled and said, "I'm going to find my fellow disciples. I don't know if you..."

Mingdu said: "I'll wait for you at the inn in front." He hesitated for a moment and asked, "You're not here to perform a mission, are you?"

Tang Huan nodded: "I've already told you that I don't have any tasks during this time, so I won't lie."

Mingdu also felt relieved, nodded slightly, and walked towards the inn.

Tang Huan will not lie outside of missions.

Because he doesn't have to conform to anyone's mind.

"I heard your whistle before, why do you want me to come over?" Tang Huan poured himself a glass of wine casually, and drank it down: "This wine is not bad, where did you buy it?"

The woman opposite him didn't answer this question, but said: "Although I promise not to interfere with your decision-making again, it's okay to ask you to have a drink and chat with each other, right?"

Tang Huan smiled helplessly: "Ah Jin, if you say that, it would be a little too condescending."

The woman in front of him is not the junior sister who was angered by him last time

Tang Jindao: "Brother, I asked you to come, it's still the same question as last time. What's going on between you and that monk?"

Tang Huan sighed, and said, "Are you unwilling to hear the answer?"

Tang Jin said: "Not bad."

Tang Huan said: "But I remember I told you last time that I have nothing to do with him."

Tang Jindao: "That's right, I also believed it. But I realized later that you may have nothing to do with each other, but you must have some feelings. Am I right?"

Tang Huan didn't answer.

Tang Jin said: "Do you want to be with him?"

Tang Huan shook his head.

Tang Jin puzzled: "Why? Because he doesn't like you?"

"Tang Sect talks about killing, and Buddhism talks about crossing. It's the opposite." Tang Huan said lightly, "Such two completely different or even diametrically opposite ideas, it's not bad if they don't become hostile."

"Then you don't like him?"

Tang Huan answered irrelevantly and asked: "A person who cultivates Buddhism has the world in mind, and the sky is clear and clear. In the end, it will be nothing but nothing. I agree with this."

Tang Jin didn't know what to say.

Tang Huan smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. He can't beat me either, it's nothing more than an extra oil bottle."

Tang Jin shook his head disapprovingly, and said, "Even if you say so, what about your mission this time? He's always following you."

Tang Huan said slowly: "Don't worry, I have my own way."

Tang Jin bit her lip, looked at him silently for a while, and said, "Okay, brother, I won't bother you two. But this time, I must participate in your mission."

Tang Huan frowned and said, "I thought you had given up."

"You know that such a task can be done by me faster and more conveniently than by you!" Tang Jin said not to be outdone.

"That's right," Tang Huan nodded, "but you will have to endure more unnecessary torture. Don't talk about it, you don't have to come."

Tang Jin looked at him for a while, and suddenly showed a small sly smile.She was a beautiful woman, but she was too indifferent to make people daunting.And her smile was like melting ice and snow, and like a ray of light breaking through the darkness in the early morning, people couldn't move their eyes away.

She said: "Brother, I can't go if I don't go this time. The hall master has already issued an order for me to assist you."

Tang Huan finally sat up straight, leaned forward slightly, and asked her in the most serious tone: "What's going on?"

Tang Jin rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "I don't know where the news leaked, let the target know that someone is going to kill him; but what's interesting is that he doesn't seem to know that the person who wants to kill him is someone from the Tang Sect, and he just treats it like an ordinary killer. So I just recruited a few more experts. If you are the only one to go, I am afraid that I will not be able to retreat completely; but if I accompany you inside, I will be safe."

Tang Huan said thoughtfully, "There must be many people like the target who want to kill him."

"good."

"And he is still alive, which means that the master he recruited is also very good."

"exactly."

"But he didn't expect that it was people from the Tang Sect in central Shu who came to kill him this time."

Tang Jin finally couldn't help laughing, and said happily, "Yes. Because most of the Tang Sect is active in the middle of Sichuan, it is rare to see the Tang Sect in this northern land."

Tang Huan also smiled slightly and said: "They would never have imagined that the Tang Sect's eyeliner has spread all over the martial arts world. What's more, I actually went to Chang'an with nothing to do, and even accepted a mission. And the mission's target happened to be him."

It was evening when Tang Huan returned to the inn.When he pushed the door and entered, Ming Du had just lit the oil lamp.

Mingdu heard him come in, turned his head to look at him, looked at him carefully, and smelled that there was no smell of blood in the air, so he smiled reassuringly.

Tang Huan saw his little tricks, so he didn't expose it, just walked to the side of the couch and sat down, and said: "Just now I asked the little girl, why did you only want this room?"

Mingdu said: "I came out this time, but I didn't bring a full amount of silver."

Tang Huan suddenly said: "Oh...so that's the case. Anyway, a room can make do with it. Hey, but master, do you sleep inside or outside?"

Mingdu said: "I'll just meditate for one night." He pursed his lips, seeming a little nervous.

"It's not good for your health," Tang Huan said, "I've been walking for more than a day, so I should take a good rest."

Mingdu shook his head and said: "It's okay, I used to meditate often, and sometimes I sat in meditation for several days and nights. But it just so happens that I have something to tell you."

Actually changed the subject... Tang Huan said helplessly, "What's the matter?"

Mingdu said: "You met your classmate today, and I also met mine. He seems to have something to do with me, so he asked me to meet tomorrow."

"Yes." Tang Huan replied, "No problem, you don't need to tell me."

"He's here, looking for me..." Ming Du hesitated.

"That's it." Tang Huan understood, "Don't worry, I'll go out tomorrow too. Come back at dinner time, is that okay?"

Mingdu nodded, a little embarrassed and said: "Thank you."

Tang Huan waved his hands and said, "It's all trivial matters. Let's rest."
