Chapter 383: Chance Encounter

Everyone galloped all the way, the avenue was flat, the carriage was luxurious, even if it was galloping, it didn't feel bumpy Li Muchan sat in it, steady. The carriage is luxuriously decorated, with carved paintings on the four walls, thick soft blankets on the ground, and it is unexpectedly cold outside, but warm as spring inside.

There is a couch in front of it, which is a thick and soft futon on top, and there is also a couch in the back, and a small square table is placed on the couch, which is exquisite, and there are pianos and chess on the table, as well as teapots and teacups.

Li Muchan sat cross-legged on the couch in front of him, motionless, and performed the scriptures of the heavens, men, and gods.

It was already evening, twilight was pervasive, and the four wild thunderbolts were blowing. General Hua rode in front of the carriage, wearing a gray robe, and his waist was as straight as a spear, revealing a vigorous and heroic spirit, but also elegant and elegant.

Ji Wuming came over from the front, walked side by side with General Hua, and said, "General, I missed the dormitory today and have to live outside." ”

General Hua looked into the distance, the wide avenue stretched out, the twilight was shrouded, and there was no end in sight, he nodded: "Well, it's okay, just find a place to rest." Ji Wuming said: "There is a ruined temple five miles ahead, which can accommodate you." "Just go there. General Hua bowed his head lightly and glanced back at the carriage. Ji Wuming sighed: "I don't know what happened to the master." General Hua said: "The master is unfathomable, and there must be a way." Ji Wuming smiled bitterly, this is Xue Xiangsan, he hasn't heard of anyone escaping under this medicine. ........................ There is a forest leaving the avenue, a hillside through the woods, and a ruined temple on the south side of the slope

General Hua walked through the woods and came to this temple, he looked at it on his horse, the red of the wall was no longer visible, the gate was gone, and he directly saw the dead grass that was one person high in the courtyard. Ji Wuming asked: "General, how's it?" General Hua waved his hand and suddenly all the guards dismounted, divided into several teams, each with a knife and poured into the temple, and a group of people directly waved their knives to cut down the dead grass. After tea time, one of the guards came out: "There is no one in the general." General Hua dismounted and entered the courtyard, the courtyard was spacious except for the grass, there was only one Buddha hall in the north, and there was no room next to it, which was clear at a glance. He stood at the foot of the steps and looked in, the doors and windows mottled open to see inside.

There are six huge Buddha statues in the center, and there are two rows of Buddha statues in front of them, each with nine statues, either angry or angry, standing or sitting, with different postures and different expressions, which are eighteen Arhats. The ground is paved with green bricks, and the Buddha statue is old and blackened, but the surrounding area is very neat and the ground is clean, as if someone has cleaned it.

General Hua looked up, and the handwriting on a horizontal plaque on it was blurred, and he barely recognized that it was the three words "Dafeng Temple" with a simple font, and he couldn't see what was clever. A guard said: "General, it's a little strange here, obviously there is no one, but it's very clean!" Ji Wuming's face changed: "Huh?"

He looked left and right, his eyes shining, and his expression was terrifying.

........................ General Hua looked at it a few times and shook his head: "Forget it, even if there are people, they also arrived first, and we took advantage of others." Ji Wuming frowned: "General, in case it is an assassin...... "I have to guard against it!"

The last assassination, he still has lingering palpitations, if it weren't for the master sacrificing his life to save him, he was afraid that none of his people would have survived. General Hua smiled: "Oh, it's the assassins, then they ambushed here in advance, and then cleaned the Buddha hall again, huh-?"

Ji Wuming smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, let's live here, I'll invite the master to come over......"

"Go ahead. "General Hua's jaw. He paced with his hands in his hands, looking at the eighteen Arhat statues, although they were black, he looked closer, and realized that these Arhat statues were extraordinary, lifelike, as if they were really going to pounce. I don't know who wrote it at the beginning, it's a pity that it was abandoned here!

Li Muchan walked in slowly, the gray monk's robe fluttering, his face was covered with a layer of gray, and his expression was calm and calm. Ji Wuming followed behind him, took two purple futons in his left hand and put them under the Buddha statue, General Hua sat on the futon, and Li Muchan sat on the other. The twilight was getting darker, and the room was poorly lit. Ji Wuming searched for it, but didn't find a lamp, so he went out to find four torches, inserted them around, lit them, and the house was suddenly brightly lit. "Master, there seems to be someone here, isn't it?" General Hua said with a smile. Li Muchan smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed back: "It's inside the Buddha statue." General Hua raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I don't know where the sacred is here, please see me." Ji Wuming and the others suddenly became nervous, surrounded the two of them at once, and stared at the Buddha statue vigilantly.

There was no movement of the Buddha statue, only the sound of torches crackling, with the sound of the guards' deep breathing, and the atmosphere in the room was suddenly tense, and the needle drop could be heard. ,

Li Muchan shook his head, closed his eyes, and General Hua hugged his fists and said: "We are not villains, we will stay here for one night, if there is any offense, I hope to forgive me." "There was still no movement behind the Buddha statue, as if there was really no one.

But everyone didn't doubt it, just stared at the Buddha statue, motionless.

After waiting for a while, Ji Wuming snorted: "General, this person is so rude, I'll go find him to come out ......" General Candle Hua waved his hand: "People don't want to show their heads, and they don't have to be reluctant, Xiao Ji, I see that there is a pot outside, let's boil some porridge for everyone." "Yes, General!" Ji Wuming glanced at Li Muchan, reluctantly clenched his fists and waved his hand. Li Muchan closed his eyes slightly, as if he had settled down, looking at him like this, Ji Wuming put his mind at ease, this person really wanted to be unfavorable to the general, and he would not be able to hide it from the master.

Everyone dispersed, each of them returned to you, but faintly held around the Buddha statue to protect Li Muchan and General Hua from sneak attacks. Ji Wuming led a few people out and began to boil porridge.

General Hua shook his head and smiled, and took out a book to read. There was a fire in the courtyard outside, and an iron pot was set on it, and a unique aroma wafted into the main hall, tempting to drool. After a while, Ji Wuming came in and said happily: "General, master, we hit two roe deer, and they happened to be stewed together." He knew that Li Muchan did not quit meat. General Hua said: "Hold two bowls and wrap the rest of your rounds!"

"Okay!" Ji Wuming went out to the carriage in response, took out two delicate large bowls, filled them next to the iron pot, and brought them into the house.

General Hua pointed, and Ji Wuming put two bowls of porridge in front of him.

General Hua looked at it and nodded, then smiled sideways: "Master, let's eat?" At this moment, a gurgling sound suddenly sounded from behind the Buddha statue.

General Hua laughed, turned around and said, "Your Excellency will come out and eat together, and serve a bowl of porridge, which can be regarded as compensation." In the sound of clothes, a short man flashed from behind the Buddha statue and fell to the ground, clapping his palm, a foot away from General Hua and Li Muchan. The two guards stepped forward with their swords and stood in front of General Hua and Li Muchan. This short man has a sickly face, his face is yellow, but his eyes are clear and smart, and he is wearing a green shirt, spotless, and neat.

His body was small and weak, and a gust of wind could blow it away.

"There's a disturbance. He clenched his fists, and his voice was low, soft and magnetic, very pleasant to the ear.

General Hua shrugged his hand and retreated from the two guards, secretly surprised. This person's popularity is extraordinary, and he has a faint temperament of arrogance, and his background must be extraordinary, but ordinary people can't raise such a bearing.

"If you don't dislike it, just eat it together!" General Hua smiled, and raised his voice outside the door: "Xiao Ji, bring the futon again!" Ji Wuming agreed, and quickly took a purple futon and put it in front of General Hua, the short man glanced at General Hua lightly, bowed his head, and sat down calmly. .............................. He glanced at Li Muchan, who had his eyes closed, and said lightly: "Are you soldiers of the Shenguang Battalion?" General Hua nodded: "Exactly." ”

Ji Wuming brought another bowl of porridge and put it in front of General Hua, and then stood at the door and didn't go out, staring at the short young man. He found that if this kid's face was not so yellow, he would be a handsome fellow with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but it was a pity that he was a sick man and was dull.

The short man turned a blind eye to the gaze around him, and said, "I heard that the Shenguang Battalion won a battle?"

Ji Wuming nodded proudly: "Yes! It was our general who commanded the Shenguang Battalion and won a big victory!" "It turned out to be General Hua, disrespectful!" The short man clasped his fists and saluted solemnly.

General Hua hugged his fists and smiled: "Seeing the smile, I don't dare to take credit, this big victory is all the soldiers in exchange for their lives, and I have contributed very little、。

The short man smiled slightly: "General Hua is too modest, folk legend has it that General You are eight feet tall, your waist is as thick as a bucket, your hands are like a fan, and your mouth is between your nose and mouth, I didn't expect the general to look like this!"

"Haha, that's interesting......," General Hua laughed.

He picked up a big bowl and took a sip of porridge, turned his head to Li Muchan and smiled: "The taste is not bad, master try it." Li Muchan slowly opened his eyes, bowed to the short man, then picked up the bowl, took a sip, and praised it with a smile.

Ji Wuming puffed up his chest and said, "Master, Xiao Changke is a family heirloom chef, not inferior to the chef of the Wine Immortal, especially good at making porridge!"

Li Muchan smiled and said a few words, drank a bowl with a few efforts, Ji Wuming asked diligently if he wanted another bowl, Li Muchan waved his hand.

Seeing that he drank it all, the short man began to drink, only to feel that it melted in his mouth, and the aroma of meat was mixed with a fragrance, which was indeed delicious. He remained silent, but he was curious in his heart, and his clear eyes and neck glanced at him from time to time, and he secretly looked at Li Muchan.

Li Muchan suddenly looked at the short man and said, "Is there someone chasing after the girl?" "You one by one?" The short man was stunned, his clear eyes rolled, and he nodded: "How can you tell that I am a woman dressed as a man?"

Li Muchan shook his head: "We can all see it, we don't want to say it......" ...... There are four people coming from outside, are they chasing you?" "Hmph, it's them...... I'll go first, so as not to bother you!" Her voice changed, mellow and soft, and she knew that she was a girl when she heard it. As she spoke, she put down the bowl and got up to leave.
