Apprentice of the Heavens

Chapter 128
desolate ruined temple

A gust of wind blew past, the leaves swayed, and the dewdrops on them trembled and fell on a figure lying on the ground, who remained motionless.

Suddenly there was a scream, and the body of Tie Zhu who was lying on the ground couldn't help shaking. Looking intently under the already bright moonlight, the thieves waiting at the door suddenly screamed and fell slowly to the ground covering their chests.

Tie Zhu waited quietly for a long time before slowly getting up and approaching the temple carefully, holding the hatchet tightly in his hand, as if his legs and feet were trembling because of lying on the ground for too long, and his steps seemed to be very slow.

But no matter how slow the pace is, the distance is not too far after all, but after a while Tie Zhu came to the outside of the temple, he couldn't help but gasp when he saw that the hearts of the thieves lying on the ground were blooming. A blood-colored epiphyllum, a coquettish and beautiful flower that blooms in the dark, seems to make Tie Zhu focus all his attention on the blood-colored epiphyllum and ignore the nourishment below.

Tie Zhu wanted to escape instinctively, but he was stopped abruptly. He suppressed the fear in his heart, swallowed his saliva, and pushed open the temple door with a slightly flabbergasted footstep. When he saw the original Buddha statue, there were two Among the naked corpses, one had flowers blooming in the heart, and the other was a girl who had lost her breath due to excessive tasting.

Tie Zhu glanced away and looked away, a bewitching blood-colored epiphyllum appeared on the hearts of several fallen bandits, just like people outside the temple. On the Buddha seat.

"A good death! A good death! Father! Mother! You can rest in peace! Haha... woo woo!"

The laughter gradually turned into crying. After crying for a long time, Tie Zhu staggered out of the temple, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

The breeze blew past the epiphyllum and swayed, and under the moonlight, there was a little bit of blood, and suddenly there was a strange sound of footsteps.

I saw a few corpses as if they were alive, carrying a sedan chair and slowly approaching the temple with stiff steps. If Tie Zhu was still here and saw this scene, he might be scared to death on the spot.

A handsome and unrestrained figure on the sedan chair looked at the bloody epiphyllum on the chests of the group of thieves, and the three red gouyu on the right eyebrow raised their mouths and muttered to themselves

"There is a product! It is really a product!"

After appreciating for a long time, the gong in the hand struck the corpse, and the sedan chair moved forward under the moonlight. A folk song in a minor tune came

"The head is not lowered, the legs are not separated, the shadow is floating and the fire is separated from the mundane world, the soul will not rot after a long burial, the person who drives the corpse with inner light and outer yin."

.........

"Have you made up your mind?"

Li Ming squinted slightly at Tie Zhu who was kneeling on the ground outside the house. Tie Zhu was still dressed in rags and there was still a little dew on his body. He had obviously been waiting for a long time, but his eyes were brighter than ever. Hearing Li Ming's inquiry, he did not hesitate. Then he said: "Think it over, son's great kindness Tie Zhu will be repaid in this life like a cow or a horse."

"Readable?"

"I learned from a gentleman who lived in the village for a short time when I was young."

Hearing this, Li Ming looked at Tie Zhu's dark face in surprise, the blood remaining on it had scabbed, although he was a little surprised, but after all, literacy is always good, but it doesn't take much effort to train it.

"Get up, I'm really short of luggage. Seeing that you are strong, it's just right for you. Carry it in a stick of incense and I'll wait for you at the entrance of the village."

After finishing speaking, Li Ming threw down a page of paper and pulled up the yawning Chi Meng, while the donkey jingled after him.

Looking at Li Ming's leaving back, Tie Zhu couldn't help clenching the paper in his hand.

He knew that this would be a turning point in his life. After passing this test, he would no longer be that honest farmer. Every time he recalled the experience of last night, he had both the fear of the unknown and the desire for power.

outside the village
The two of them looked at the rising sun with the donkey, and Li Ming took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the backpack on the donkey's back, and recorded the small village in the mountain with ink.

Soon a picture of a mountain village was included in the catalog of mountains and rivers. Li Ming put away his pen, ink, paper and inkstone and glanced at the woods beside him: "Come out, I don't know what your Excellency is doing with you all the way?"

"Someone?"

Chi Meng hastily took down the flute at his waist and looked at the forest vigilantly. Soon a man dressed in white with red dots slowly walked out of the forest. His face was stern and handsome.

Seeing this, Li Ming frowned

It's him?Meifeng's 666 made him recognize the identity of the person who came here. Hou Qing, one of the four corpse ancestors of the Xuanming Sect, "Blood-stained Rivers and Mountains", what made him unclear was how this Hou Qing came here and seemed to be following him Is it because of my handsomeness?
While Li Ming was guessing wildly, Hou Qing suddenly saw Li Ming cupping his fists and bowing.

"Please accept me as an apprentice and teach me the method of blooming blood."

Li Ming looked at Hou Qing who didn't seem to be joking, the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching, and at the same time he finally understood why Hou Qing followed him. He must have seen the scene of bandits dying in a flash last night and then followed Tie Zhu. here.

A flash in the pan is a small tactic that Li Ming unintentionally developed by studying qi and blood. It is useless against masters, but it can bring great fear to the opponent when cleaning up small soldiers. It is elegant and deadly. However, Li Ming did not intend to accept Hou Qing as his disciple, so he shirked. :

"What you're talking about is short-lived, right? With your strength, why do you need to learn such little tricks?"

"A good name has quality, and it's natural to learn it because it's handsome. In the future, it will be a flash in the pan, and people in the rivers and lakes will see the flowers first but not the people."

Hou Qing first praised the name of the technique and then replied with a serious face, Li Ming and Chi Meng couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the words, Li Ming waved his hands helplessly
"Forget about accepting apprentices, just upload you for the sake of the surrender."

Hou Qing couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, did he know the surrender?Um!Some familiarity seems to have been seen somewhere.

Hou Qing looked at Li Ming and searched the memories in his mind. After a while, he suddenly exclaimed: "You are that tender...cough young man that the surrendered minister was looking for back then?"

The corner of Li Ming's mouth twitched when he heard the words. It is not necessary to know that Hou Qing changed his words temporarily in the end, and he didn't know how Hou Qing made up his relationship with the surrendered minister back then. It must have been wonderful to let the surrendered minister know.

Well, I haven't seen the surrender for a long time and I don't know if she is well now, why don't you drop by Xuanduwu to have a look?

In Li Ming's mind, the figure of the surrendered minister sitting in the sea of ​​flowers could not help appearing, he shook his head, looked at Hou Qing, nodded slightly and admitted: "That's right, the surrendered minister was looking for... bah... I was the one."

Hou Qing narrowed her eyes when she heard the words, and couldn't help thinking about the relationship between the two. Li Ming frowned and interrupted Hou Qing's thoughts.

"Your thoughts are very dangerous. If you let the surrender know that you know the consequences."

Hou Qing's slender body trembled when he heard the words, and returned to a serious look. He looked at Chi Meng beside Li Ming, but his eyes were fixed on the flute in Chi Meng's hand.

"This girl is from Raojiang. I don't know if she knows the method of controlling Gu with melody?"

At this time, Chi Meng was immersed in the relationship between who is the surrendered minister and what is the relationship between Xiao Guoguo, and he nodded subconsciously when he heard Hou Qing's question.
