This cottage, converted from an abandoned temple, originally belonged to a group of bandits from Jin Guang Tu Tuo, and everyone in the "Evil Dog Gate" was also an outsider. However, the bandits in the main hall had already escaped when the two sides started fighting.
He ran away and hid. Na Jinda even held his head and hid in the corner early in the morning. Hua Bushi took over the magpie nest and became the master of this place.
However, he is not a hospitable host.
His face darkened and he said: "The space here is small. It is no longer enough for me and my wife to live in. How can we accommodate outsiders? There is a thatched cottage outside the stone wall over there. Master Miaozhen, if it is not too simple,
, I can lend it to you for one night."
This "Juyi Hall" was originally the main hall in the temple. It was dozens of feet square inside, so it was far from small. However, the thatched cottage Hua Bushi pointed to was the place where bandits usually piled firewood.
Not only was it small, but it was also drafty from all sides. It could hardly be called a house, at most it was just a shabby thatched hut.
Even though we can't live in the main hall, there are actually many side rooms behind the cottage, where the bandits live. However, Hua Bushi asked Master Miaozhen and his entourage to live in a broken thatched hut. It was clear that he deliberately made things difficult for him.
Lift.
Unexpectedly, after Master Miaozhen heard this, he didn't get angry at all. He recited the Buddha's name and said: "How can a monk dislike the simple house? Since Mr. Hua is willing to lend us a thatched cottage to stay temporarily, how can a poor nun like this
Thank you in advance!"
After she said hello, the woman in purple helped the injured middle-aged nun, and the three of them jumped up the stone wall and retreated.
Seeing that the three of them had disappeared, Hua Bushi stared at the falling snowflakes outside the door with a somewhat melancholy expression.
Chu Yiyi came to him and asked: "Young master won't let them enter the stronghold, but are you worried that they will have evil intentions towards us?"
Hua Bushi shook his head and said: "Although Master Miaozhen's words are a bit bizarre, I believe that what happened tonight is really a misunderstanding, and the martial arts of the three of them are all the way of the Shi family, and their skills are not the same."
Weak, I think it is true that he is a disciple of Jingci Lin'an."
Chu Yiyi said: "In this case, Jingci Lin'an can be regarded as the most upright Bai Dao sect in Guangdong. It doesn't hurt to make friends with them. Why should we refuse people thousands of miles away?"
Hua Bushi smiled bitterly and said: "In normal times, it would be okay to make some friends, but right now it's better to stay away from them. If my guess is correct, they must be acting so abnormally because they are in trouble, or maybe they have gotten into extreme trouble.
A powerful enemy, I hope it doesn’t involve us, we’ll be lucky!”
He immediately turned around and told Zhu Hong: "There may be enemies coming tonight. We must keep vigil carefully and never let enemies sneak in."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※Master Hua’s guess was indeed extremely accurate.
After cleaning up the mess caused by the fight in the lobby, Hua Bushi asked Bai Yiling to take Hai Hongzhu to the back room to rest, while he sat down on the chair in front of the fire. Before the time for a stick of incense had passed, the enemy came
It has already attacked and entered the temple. Even if it is as brave as Zhu Hong, it cannot defend it.
Because there was only one enemy who came, that is, the woman in purple clothes, and she did not "sneak in", but walked in from the mountain gate openly.
"Yi Ruoying, a lay disciple of Jingci Lin'an, came to visit Master Hua Shao!" Her voice was as clear as pearls and as beautiful as an oriole, it was really nice to hear.
When she walked into the main hall, Hua Bushi realized that she was even more beautiful than her voice.
Previously, the woman in purple flew down from the roof. Both sides were fighting for their lives. During the fight, the figures were flying, so it was difficult to see her face clearly. Then she quickly exited the temple gate, and Hua Bushi couldn't.
You could see clearly. It was only at this moment that Yi Ruoying walked up to him gracefully, and Master Hua had the opportunity to carefully appreciate this purple-clothed beauty.
There are many kinds of beauties. There are those who are as bright and radiant as the adelphia flower and loved by everyone, there are those who are solitary and stand alone like the orchids, and there are those who are as enchanting and full of temptation as the peonies.
But Yi Ruoying is not any of them. If compared to a flower, she should be a cold plum in the snow. She is delicate and clear, not at all enchanting, but still makes people feel handsome and moving.
She is only about 20 years old, with a small face, a face as beautiful as jade, picturesque eyebrows, and a slim figure. She is clearly an extremely charming beauty, but her behavior is elegant and her expression is calm and calm, which is hard to imagine.
Evil thoughts.
The lavender dress and the gleaming sword-ringed weapon on her back not only did not make her any less beautiful, but instead gave her a more heroic spirit.
Watching her approaching step by step, Hua Bushi seemed to be stunned. It wasn't until Chu Yiyi, who was standing next to him, coughed several times that the young master finally came back to his senses.
"Miss Ruoying, please sit down." Hua Bushi said with a chuckle.
Yi Ruoying was not polite and sat down opposite Hua Bushi openly.
There were several tea bowls on the wooden table, and there were several jars of shochu beside the table. She reached out and picked up the two sea bowls, then took the wine jar and filled it up, then presented one of the bowls to Hua Bushi with both hands and said:
"I have heard that Young Master Hua has a huge amount of food. Ruoying will offer you a bowl first and ask Young Master Hua to show your respect!"
As soon as Hua Bushi took the bowl of wine, Yi Ruoying had already picked up another bowl of wine, raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.
Hua Bushi's eyes almost turned straight. He had never seen a woman drink like her. Even men, there weren't many who drank like this. He hesitated for a moment, then put the wine bowl to his mouth and drank it all in one gulp.
.
Yi Ruoying went to pour the wine again, but Hua Bushi quickly waved his hand and said: "Wait a minute, Hua Bushi doesn't have a good drinker. One bowl is enough, and he will definitely get drunk if he drinks any more."
Yi Ruoyan smiled and said: "Many men like to act heroic in front of women. Even if they are too drunk to get up, they still refuse to admit that they are not good at drinking. But Master Hua has the courage to admit it frankly, which Ruoying admires."
Hua Bushi also smiled and said: "Miss Ruoying, thank you very much. I don't think she came here just for this bowl of wine. If you have something to do, please make it clear."
Yi Ruoying said: "What Master Hua said is wrong. Ruoying came here just to toast this bowl of wine and use it to apologize to Master Hua."
Hua Bushi asked curiously: "Apologise? Where do you start talking about this?"
Yi Ruoying said: "In the past three days, we have been following Mr. Hua's carriage. We mistakenly thought you were gangsters, and that's why what happened today happened. The fault is all Ruoying's fault, so we want to ask Hua
Master, please apologize."
Hua Bushi said: "Speaking of this matter, I am really puzzled. In what way do we, as a group of people, look like strong men in the underworld? Why do you misunderstand us?"
Yi Ruoying said: "To be honest, Ruoying has quite a lot of experience in detecting and tracking. She can detect the movements of carriages and horses within ten miles. It was precisely because she found out the route taken by Master Hua and his party that Ruoying had this misunderstanding.
.”
Hua Bushi said: "Oh?"
Yi Ruoying said: "Master Hua and his party are taking the route through the Nanling Mountains to Nan'ao Town, but it is also the road we are going to take. That's why Ruoying thinks that you are the spies set up by the underworld.
They were monitoring us, and it wasn’t until we learned that Master Hua was also going to Nan’ao Town to attend the ‘Wanyi Conference’ that we realized we had made a misjudgment.”
Hua Bushi said: "So, it's because the two of us are going to the same place, and we happen to be on the same road. However, both of us are good at detecting movements from a distance, and we have never seen each other up close.
, resulting in a misunderstanding?”
Yi Ruoying said: "Exactly. The place has changed. If we, Jingci Lin Temple, occupy this temple first, Master Hua will probably come to attack at night, right?"
Hua Bushi said: "Yes, I can probably do it."
Yi Ruoying said: "In this case, can Master Hua be magnanimous and not care about Ruoying and senior sister accidentally hurting a disciple of your sect?"
Her words are well-founded and very convincing.
But Hua Bushi shook his head and said: "No. We, a group of ten people, were walking in front, and you were following us. If we were to say following, you were also following us. Why did Miss Ruoying suspect that we were spying on Gui'an?"
"
Yi Ruoying said: "Just because those underworld forces already know the destination where we and our party are going, they can send people to monitor ahead to detect our movements."
Hua Bushi thought for a while and said: "I see. Since the matter has been explained clearly, I promise not to blame Gui'an. I have already drank this bowl of wine. Miss, please come back now."
He waved his hand and actually issued an order to expel the guests.
However, Yi Ruoying still sat on the chair without moving. She stared at the young master's eyes with her beautiful eyes. After a while, she said: "Master Hua, don't you want to know which gangster is trying to make things difficult for us? We are here."
What’s the purpose of walking?”
Hua Bushi said "Haha" and said: "I don't want to at all. If you know more about things, the troubles will increase. Although I am curious about some things, I am afraid of trouble."
Yi Ruoying said: "It turns out that none of the rumors about the 'Evil Dog Master' in the world are true."
Hua Bushi said: "Really?"
Yi Ruoying suddenly smiled softly and said: "The 'Evil Dog Master' of Wuyang City in Xiangjing is famous, and there are a lot of rumors about you in the world. Master Hua, do you want to hear about it?"
Hua Bushi said: "Miss Ruoying, please give me some advice."
Yi Ruoying said: "Don't take it seriously if you give me advice. These rumors are really not good to hear. If Ruoying said it, Master Hua, please don't be angry."
Hua Bushi said: "Girl, please tell me, I'm not angry."
Yi Ruoying paused for a moment and said: "There are roughly three legends about Young Master Hua in the world. One is that Young Master Hua is bold and domineering. In order to expand his power and seize territory, he colludes with the government, kills fellow Jianghu fellows, and destroys sects.
No room left, even more vicious than those in the underworld."
Hua Bushi said "Oh" and said, "What about the second one?"
