Chapter 259: Departure

Guided by the man, the group soon arrived in front of a big house with white walls and red tiles by the river.

An old man dressed as Yuanwailang came out to greet him with all the people in the house.

"Welcome, welcome, welcome all knights to come to eliminate demons and subdue demons, I am grateful."

The old staff bowed again and again.

Several young people had never seen this formation before, so they hurriedly stepped forward to restrain the other party and saluted.

"Old man, we are too young to be your worship. Let us understand the situation first."

Ma Jingxuan hurriedly spoke.

"About the news about Hua Yun Temple, I have prepared everything for you. You have come from a long distance, and the journey is hard. Please come in first to rest and meet the other two factions of chivalrous men. It is not too late to make plans."

Although the old man speaks slowly, he is clear and clear.

"Excuse me, Yuanwai, which are the other two factions?" Guo Zixuan asked.

"Er...a master disciple of the Wanhua School and the Duling Gate." A quirky little girl beside the old man said.

The little girl looked fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slim figure, a pair of big eyes that seemed to be able to talk, wearing a black dress with a slim waist, and a small puppet black crystal on her long hair with a black shawl. Gives a cute and playful cheerful temperament.

So even if the skin is not very good, it still makes a young man like Guo Zixuan unable to help but look at it a few more times.

Lin Xin looked at the girl with a half-smile, and she seemed to be the eldest lady of this mansion.

However, he could feel a trace of abnormality. It's right to think about it carefully, to be able to live alone in this deep mountain for so long, this old house is not as simple as it looks on the surface.

A group of people were welcomed into the house.

Soon, I saw the disciples of the other two sects coming out in the courtyard. There was only one person on one side, a young man with an indifferent face and a knife on his back. There was a very clear word "Du" embroidered on his sleeve, obviously he was from the Duling Gate.

On the other side are two women, one tall and one short. They are all wearing plain white dresses embroidered with various flower patterns, and their hair is also covered with white silk netting, with two strands of long hair hanging down from their cheeks.

There are two green sheathed daggers pinned to their waists, which seem to be for close combat.

"Brother Qin, there is another person here, it seems to be the Kunlin Sword Sect in the distance." The shorter woman said coquettishly. "It doesn't look very good. The Kunlin Sword Sect is quite famous. Why do they send out a fat girl and two young children?"

The other woman has a sharp chin. Although she looks good, she looks a bit sour.

"Junior Sister, don't say that. The Kunlin Sword Sect came so far to compete with us for business. Maybe it has some real skills. Fake goods can't be hidden for a few days."

As soon as Ma Jingxuan came in, she could hear a strong sense of targeting. Without saying a word, he cupped his fists at the senior brother at the Duling Gate.

"Kunlin Ma Jingxuan, Han Yaolu, Guo Zixuan."

"Qin Ye from Duling Gate."

The cold-faced man lightly arched his fists in return.

A group of people entered the main living room under the guidance of the old man and his granddaughter. There is a plaque on the living room that says "Fushou Qingxin Nourishing". On both sides of the hall are various peacock scrolls, one after another, all of which are male peacocks. The peacocks are colorful and gorgeous.

"This old man loves this one. That's why he collected a lot." Seeing that everyone was looking at the peacock picture in the hall, the old man also stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Lin Xin noticed that there were two other people in the hall, a man and a woman, sitting at the Duling Gate respectively. Beside the two girls of the Wanhua faction, there are obviously similar accompanying guardian masters.

He noticed that the woman glanced at him with interest. The woman was wearing a veil and a close-fitting short skirt. She was dressed in milky white, with purple and black stockings wrapped around her legs, extending from her calfskin boots to her thighs. In the depths, it gives people a kind of enchanting and mysterious inexplicable sexiness.

The other male master was obviously attracted by the woman, and kept scanning the woman's figure out of the corner of his eye, noticing that she was looking towards Lin Xin, and the man immediately looked at him with some displeasure.

The three of them exchanged glances and looked at each other, but they didn't speak.

After each served tea, the maid stepped back. The veteran also began to talk about the nearby Huayun Temple.

"About Hua Yunguan, the old man has already said something to the knights of the two factions, and I will repeat it here for the reference of the newly arrived knights of the Kunlin Sword School."

"Thank you." Ma Jingxuan nodded.

"Actually, at the Huayun Temple, there was originally a statue called Daojun Shengyun. My wife and I also visited it occasionally, but suddenly one day later, my wife said that she had a nightmare, so she wanted to go alone. Let's pay homage to Daoist Lord for blessing, I was busy at the time, so I didn't accompany her."

Speaking of this, the veteran also sighed. A tired look appeared on his face.

"Later, my wife never came back once she left, and the two maids and servants who went with her all disappeared."

"Later, when we passed by, we could see the Huayun Temple from a distance. We couldn't get into the foot of the mountain, we could only circle around outside. Until last month, after this vision disappeared, all the knights rushed over in time Yes, but I can get close, but the inside is empty and there is nothing, I have searched for a long time but can't find my wife...that's the whole situation." The old man pointed to some books stacked next to it.

"Here is the county annals about the surrounding area. You can browse through them and take them away."

"My mother has a protective talisman in person, so it's impossible for her to disappear without a single movement." The elf girl's eyes darkened, but she obviously didn't believe that her relative was dead.

Lin Xin didn't interrupt, just watched Ma Jingxuan think for a while, and began to ask for details one by one, information about Huayun Temple.

The same is true for the other two guardian masters, both of whom are just watching.

Bored, Lin Xin simply closed his eyes on his seat and analyzed the Nine Injuries of Eternal Sleep that he just obtained. The secret book that can be affirmed by Yuan Qiuque, the second swordsman in the world, must have something extraordinary. It can affect myself who has a deep understanding of sound, so it can be seen that this practice is very powerful.

After all, he himself has the only method, the Dafa of Lingyin.

Unknowingly, knowing the situation, Ma Jingxuan immediately proposed to go to Huayun Temple for on-the-spot observation.

People from the other two factions did not go, obviously they all went.

Ma Jingxuan was impatient, so she simply packed up her things, and together with the two Han Yaolu and Guo Zixuan, she planned to settle things early and go back early.

The three of them planned to go directly to Huayun Temple immediately.

Lin Xin was noncommittal, and simply followed along. He had a storage bag, and he could store enough food and drink for a month without any problems.

The four of them left the house and headed towards the nearby Huayun Temple directly under the leadership of a servant.

***************

It was getting late and the road was a bit rough, the servant took the four of them to a dark and deep mountain, stood in the forest and pointed forward.

"Four chivalrous men are right in front of you. There is the Huayun Temple. The young ones dare not go up. The four...the four should go by themselves..." The servant was walking in the dark at this time. Some of them turned pale in the woods.

At this time, the sky was getting late, and the sun was about to set completely, and there were cuckoo owls in the forest from time to time.

Ma Jingxuan didn't make it difficult for him, so she said. "Then you go back first, I'm afraid it's a little dangerous to be alone at night in the dark."

"Thank you, Xia Nu, thank you, Xia Nu!!" The servant hurriedly thanked,

Without waiting for a few people to say more, he hurriedly ran away on the way back.

Ma Jingxuan ignored him, but looked up at Huayun on the mountain.

The Taoist temple is reddish all over, standing between the mountains and forests, surrounded by dense trees and grass forests, and can be seen from a distance inside the temple, where weeds are overgrown and desolate for a long time.

"Be careful." Guo Zixuan took out a Zhengyang Talisman and held it in his hand. "I feel that there seems to be some resentment here."

"So there might be vengeful spirits?" Ma Jingxuan said sternly, "Our blades have been blessed with two months of aura to ward off evil spirits. Don't be afraid, as long as we are united, even vengeful spirits are fine."

She comforted the frightened two people, but she secretly took a peek at Lin Xin, feeling a little settled, and then secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Lin Xin couldn't help but recalled the scene when he was on a mission for the first time.

The cruel competition in Nanfu is far worse than here, the death rate is extremely high, and there are no masters to accompany and protect. Compared to him, the three little guys in front of him were much happier.

Follow the stone steps leading to the Taoist temple, go all the way forward in the mountains, and climb windingly.

It gradually darkened completely.

Soon the four of them came to the Huayun Temple on the mountainside.

'Magic obstacles are in the sky, and practice is in me. '

A pair of simple couplet wooden signs are hung on both sides. There is a horizontal inscription on it: "Spirit and Spirit Unity"

There are gaps here and there on the horizontal plaque, which are dirty and mossy, obviously it has passed for an unknown amount of time.

"We'll stay here tonight, let's see what's weird in this view." Ma Jingxuan said directly.

"This is not good..." Han Yaolu hesitated, her face turned pale.

The inner wall of the Taoist temple was slightly red, and it was empty inside. Standing at the door, from the open door, you can see the dark and dark depths of the main hall.

Sitting there is a statue of a female god with four arms, with a faint smile, a small half of her head is missing, and her lips are bright red, which has a penetrating feeling.

"There is no response from the paper talisman. There should be no problem here, and there will be no resentful spirits." Guo Zixuan said hastily.

"It's more dangerous for us to live outside. Not only do we have to worry about unknown threats, but we also have to worry about wild life attacks." Ma Jingxuan explained. "Besides, don't we still have Master Hong here? Even if there is any trouble..." Before Ma Jingxuan finished speaking, she felt that the eyes of the two juniors and sisters were not right. She hurriedly looked back, but Lin Xin was missing up! ?

"Practice alone, I will come whenever I go, don't worry about safety." A small voice penetrated into Ma Jingxuan's ears.

Her originally calm face suddenly turned pale.

"Red... Master Hong...don't scare me..."

Apart from the breathing of the three people, there was no other sound around.

cuckoo...

There was a cry of owls in the distance, making the forest even more dark and cold. (to be continued ~^~)
