Just when Tianquan was in crisis, Lu Hanjiang hinted that Huangfu Xiaoyuan took action to save him.
Although Tianquan was already at a disadvantage in the scene, as a direct disciple of the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, how could he not have any trump cards, so Lu Hanjiang could probably guess that the opponent must still have some back-ups.
Originally, he had no intention of letting Tian Quan end up here in such a daze. At this time, he just happened to sell a favor to the other party.
As a result, Huangfu Xiaoyuan took action and threw out a sword light, forcing the monk to stop.
Huangfu Xiaoyuan stepped forward and landed next to Tianquan. She lowered her head and asked him, "Can I still go?"
"Thank you Miss Yue, I am still able to hold on..." Tianquan said with some shame. He had failed twice in a row. If it had not been for the help of the Yue brothers and sisters, he would have failed during this trip.
The difficulty will be increased a lot.
After driving away the monks with one sword, Huangfu Xiaoyuan did not relax her vigilance. This man's kung fu was extremely strange, and he did not seem to be from the Central Plains martial arts. Looking at his clothes, he must be that monk from the Western Regions.
However, what made Huangfu Xiaoyuan fearful was not the person in front of him, but a dangerous existence in the Fox Immortal Tower behind him.
Just when she was drawing her sword, a gaze came out of the darkness and fell on her. It was as if someone had suddenly poured a basin of ice water on her in those dog days of summer, sending chills down her spine.
At this time, the monk seemed to have not given up. He was injured in the leg by Tianquan and seriously injured by the random sword. At this moment, Huangfu Xiaoyuan's sword hit him so hard that his blood was blocked. If it were anyone else, he would have almost entered the state of death.
Desperate situation.
But this monk seemed to feel no physical pain at all. Even if he was seriously injured, the fierce light in his eyes still did not diminish. Looking at his posture, he seemed to want to continue fighting.
Huangfu Xiaoyuan's eyes darkened slightly, and he slowly raised the sword in his hand and placed it on the Qi Condensing Sword, preparing to completely end this madman's life.
Boom——!
At this moment, a loud and deafening sound of bells suddenly came from the Fox Immortal Tower, and the monk immediately stopped what he was doing, like a wooden man whose wind had been pulled out.
The next second, Fan Monk slowly retracted his posture, and the murderous aura in his eyes instantly disappeared. He turned around and walked towards the Fox Immortal Tower without saying a word, without even looking at the two people in front of him.
Huangfu Xiaoyuan seemed to feel something. She silently raised her head and saw a naked and muscular monk on the roof of the flower building, looking down at everything.
This monk was born fair and fair. He had his hands clasped together, a gentle smile on his lips, and a hint of compassion and love in his half-lidded eyes. Suddenly, Huangfu Xiaoyuan sensed a great danger from his body.
Huangfu Xiaoyuan silently put down his sword and watched the monks leave. She led Tianquan, who had barely gotten up, to look back. At this moment, the women who had come to seek justice had already dispersed. Such a showdown between martial arts masters was really difficult.
It's beyond their ability to bear.
Not far away, Lu Hanjiang was waiting for them. Tian Quan came forward, covering his chest, and said with shame: "Brother Yue, the water in this Fox Immortal Tower is too deep, and I am incompetent, so I couldn't find out anything."
"Whatever Taoist Taoist Tianquan said was enough to attract that monk." Lu Hanjiang glanced at his injuries and said with a smile: "Besides, Taoist Taoist is kind and unwilling to hurt people's lives. Otherwise, how could that big bearded man be?"
Your opponent."
This was not Lu Hanjiang's flattery. After all, he could see clearly from the outside. The fact was that the Tianquan woman was kind and did not kill the monk, so she was injured by him.
Tianquan shook his head: "Even if the poor Taoist kills the monk, I'm afraid he won't be able to do anything..."
As he said that, he turned around and glanced at the Fox Immortal Tower with fear. The other monk who briefly appeared had disappeared at this moment, but the sudden burst of oppression still frightened Tianquan.
Tian Quan smiled bitterly and said to Lu Hanjiang: "Brother Yue, behind this Fox Fairy Tower, I'm afraid there are foreign monks. Their purpose of coming to the Central Plains is still unknown, but they must be evil."
Lu Hanjiang nodded and said, "What fellow Taoist Tianquan said is that this monk came out to open a brothel. This is the first time I have heard of it. If it is not weird, I am afraid no one will believe it."
Tianquan frowned again and said, "However, that monk's martial arts are very strange. He seems to have endless power when fighting. It's really scary that the poor monk injured him so seriously and still has the power to fight back."
Lu Hanjiang also agreed with this statement. He said: "Fellow Taoist Tianquan is right. If the Fox Immortal Tower is full of freaks like him who are not afraid of pain and death, then I'm afraid there is nothing we can do."
This really puts Tianquan in a dilemma. Fox Fairy Tower obviously has bad intentions. Unfortunately, the court is not doing anything outside, and there are these master monks inside. Even if they want to be chivalrous and righteous, they have to look at their swords.
Is it sharp enough?
But it is definitely not possible to just leave it alone. Tian Quan cannot get over the hurdle in his heart, but he cannot blindly rely on reckless methods. Although he has an unshakable chivalrous heart, he is not a simple-minded person.
If force didn't work, he had to resort to cleverness. Unfortunately, Tianquan couldn't think of any good solution for a while, so he had to go back to the inn to recover from his injuries.
On the way back, Lu Hanjiang and his party met Zhao Ziyi and others who came in a hurry. The two parties exchanged information and found that the matter was much more complicated than they imagined.
Zhao Ziyi did not hide what he saw in the Yamen. He bluntly stated that the county magistrate here was his fellow disciple, and also warned him not to interfere in the affairs of Huxian Tower.
The rest of the people had expressions that were difficult to understand, but Lu Hanjiang, who was among them, had other thoughts in his mind. What Fang Huayu said to Zhao Ziyi just hit his guess.
Fang Huayu did know about the existence of Huxian Tower and knew that the other party was doing evil, but instead of trying to stop it, he actually turned a blind eye. As the local magistrate, his inaction was tantamount to aiding the evil.
According to this person's character, he would not choose to compromise with a force like Huxian Tower, so this must be an order from the person behind him. However, is this the intention of the prince or the princess...
It's still unknown.
What Lu Hanjiang is concerned about is the masters in the Fox Immortal Tower, two foreign monks from the Western Regions. This can be easily recognized by their costumes and martial arts, but it is strange that they will appear here.
Foreign monks rarely travel in the Central Plains. On the one hand, they have no foundation here and it is very inconvenient for them to do so. On the other hand, the two major local sects, Buddhism and Taoism, have an unwelcome attitude towards them.
The reason is also very simple. Taoism does not want the already powerful Buddhism to add another boost, and Buddhism itself does not look down on these outsiders at all. They are probably even more afraid of these monks than Taoism.
Since Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, it has taken root and sprouted in this land. Over the course of thousands of years, Buddhism in the Central Plains has integrated too many local things, and is actually completely different from Buddhism in the Western Regions.
The smarter a person is, the more he is not afraid to use the darkest thoughts to guess others. Who knows whether these outside relatives are here to add help, or are hungry and crazy to steal their jobs.
The human heart has always been the most difficult thing to guess.
