Chapter 31 Broken Temple

"Sir, I have to go out on an errand and I may not be back for a while. Please take care of yourself at home."

Xu Rong looked at the old man, still feeling a little worried.

The old man is now over seventy years old. Although he once practiced martial arts, his cultivation level is not strong and he has barely reached the level of skin refining.

Although his body is still strong, his spirit is not very good after the death of his family members several times.

It's really worrying to leave the old man alone at home. If something happens, he won't be able to take care of it.

Even though the county magistrate Zhang Su had previously said that he would take good care of the old man, it is difficult to say how credible this statement is.

"What errand are you going to do? Not only do you have to go to another place, but you also go there for a long time?"

The old man was also a little worried about Xu Rong.

He is just such a relative now. If Xu Rong has any shortcomings, then his life will be meaningless.

Naturally, Xu Rong couldn't tell the old man about the undercover incident. Once he found out, he wouldn't worry about dying.

"There is a case in the county government that involves other places. We need to go there to investigate and collect evidence. Anyway, it is quite troublesome. Whether we can find evidence is still unclear, and several powerful people are also involved."

Xu Rong tried to make things as vague as possible, but what he said was true.

When he heard that powerful people were involved, the old man was a little worried: "Is it going to be dangerous?"

"There is definitely some danger, but it's not big. As you know, I've successfully had a blood transfusion. For me, ordinary dangers are not a big deal."

As long as you are doing errands, there is nothing without danger, because that is what the police are supposed to do.

Although the old man has been a jailer all his life, he is very knowledgeable about these matters.

Therefore, rather than saying that there is no danger, it is better to say that there is some danger, which can actually make the old man feel more at ease.

As expected, the old man's frown relaxed, but he still warned: "Be careful in everything, don't be impulsive, think clearly before acting, and don't lose vigilance because of your high level of martial arts. You must know poisons and the like

You can't stand the stuff."

"Master, don't worry, I will be careful."

Xu Rong showed a bright smile, which made the old man feel better.

"I'm leaving, please be careful at home."

"Don't worry about me. I have nothing to do at home. Apart from eating, drinking and sleeping, what could happen?"

The old man spoke in an understatement, but Xu Rong could still feel his reluctance and worry.

Xu Rong didn't say anything else. He picked up a baggage, got on his horse, and headed towards the city gate.

Xu Rong will go to Linxi Town first, and then from Linxi Town to Wan'an City.

Even if the White Lotus Sect still has some remaining spies in Linxi Town, he will not reveal his secrets this time, but will confirm his identity.

The whole journey was non-stop. Xu Rong was now wearing a black outfit, with a tall and straight figure and a profound face, which made him look heroic.

In addition, Xu Rong specially changed the shape of his eyebrows and made his hair slightly messy. If you were not an acquaintance, you would never be able to recognize him.

Moreover, what Xu Rong was wearing at his waist was not a Yanling sword, but a long sword.

All of these are necessary items to conceal your identity.

After arriving at Linxi Town, Xu Rong led the horse like an ordinary passerby.

However, he soon sneakily approached the house where the White Lotus Sect was headed, and even went around to investigate.

After confirming that no one was around, he began to wander around the town and inquired about what was happening in the town.

After a passerby asked about the destruction of the White Lotus Sect branch, Xu Rong immediately left the town and rode all the way to Wan'an City.

Xu Rong was immersed in the performance. At this time, he was no longer Xu Rong, but Yu Hen.

Therefore, all his actions need to be in line with Yu Hen.

In the evening, seeing the sun going down, Xu Rong found a ruined temple not far from the roadside and planned to rest here for the night.

Now that it is autumn, it is still quite cool at night, and the dew is relatively heavy. In addition, horses driving at night cannot see the road clearly, and accidents are easy, so it is better to find a place to relax physically and mentally.

While there was still some light, Xu Rong found a lot of firewood and prepared to light a fire at night.

Not only can it keep you warm, but it can also repel some bugs, wild beasts and the like.

After eating two large cakes with cold water, Xu Rong lit the fire.

The flickering firelight illuminated a dim mountain temple, but the mottled and dilapidated mountain god statue looked even more terrifying under such circumstances.

Xu Rong leaned against the wall and sat on a cushion made of weeds.

When you go out, you don't have to pay so much attention to it. You can barely do it by dealing with it for one night.

At least this is much better than lying on the ground.

Xu Rong soon felt tired, and gradually fell asleep amidst the crackling sound of firewood.

I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly, Xu Rong's ears twitched and he suddenly opened his eyes.

He heard footsteps outside the mountain temple.

Although he fell asleep just now, he did not sleep deeply and remained alert enough.

Otherwise, if there was any danger in the middle of the night, he might die in his sleep.

The footsteps gradually came closer, and soon they arrived at the entrance of the mountain temple.

"Excuse me!"

A rather tall and muscular man walked in.

The two looked at each other, and a smile appeared on the tall man's face, as if he wanted to prove that he was not in danger.

"I'm sorry, I saw the fire at night, so I wanted to come here to spend the night. The road is not easy to walk at night."

Xu Rong sat up a little straighter, and then said: "This is not my place. I am just staying here for one night. If you want to stay here for the night, just sit down."

'The steps are steady, the lower body is solid, the body is strong and strong, and the joints of the hands are thick. It seems that he has practiced some fist and palm skills. It seems that his strength is not weak.'

After looking at it carefully, Xu Rong closed his eyes again.

No matter who this person is, as long as it doesn't interfere with him, don't pay attention to him.

Seeing that Xu Rong didn't seem to pay attention to him, the man just thanked him and sat down next to the fire.

The man seemed a little tired, so he cleared a place next to the fire and lay down on his side to sleep.

Not long after, the man's breathing became much more even, and he seemed to have fallen asleep.

Xu Rong didn't hear any sound for a long time. He opened his eyes slightly and saw the man asleep.

"It's really heartless to fall asleep so quickly in front of strangers."
