Chu Li hesitated for only half a second before he dodged the attack by turning sideways, striking the hoe stick with his backhand and creating a three-step distance between him and him.
"Little girl, who told you that I belong to Xie Enhong?"
The elder laughed loudly:
"Your vigilance is too low!"
Watch out!
The heavy hoe was supposed to be a farming tool, but in his hand it was as light as a sword and attacked Chu Li directly.
Chu Li responded calmly.
She was able to find this place, so she was sure of it.
She dodged several times, but saw that the elder's attack was becoming more and more intense, approaching her step by step.
In this uneven field, she walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and almost lost her balance twice.
I almost stepped into the ditch.
“Watch this!”
She dodged by rolling over, supporting herself on the edge of the field with both hands, using the force to spin around and bounce up, kicking the hoe hard with her back leg, and taking a few steps closer, grabbing the elder's throat with her taut fingers.
But when getting closer, there was a moment's pause.
It was at this moment that the elder struck back.
“Hmm!”
Chu Li fell on the edge of the field, and his lower back made a crackling sound. He was probably scratched by a rock.
"Why did you stop just now?"
The elder leaned on the ground with his hoe and looked at her.
"You are the elder."
"In a life-or-death crisis, there is no distinction between the old and the young. Only by killing the other party can you have a chance to survive."
Chu Li held his waist and stood up: "I can tell whether it is a test or a matter of life and death."
He didn't mean to kill her.
Over the years, when she practiced with her master and fellow practitioners, she knew very well what moves they used, what strength they used, and what they looked like when they were testing each other to release the water.
Unfortunately, she was young and naive before, and was fooled around by her master and senior brothers.
General Xie was also testing.
"Hahaha!" Xie Enhong laughed out loud, "You are quite an interesting girl."
Very much in his eyes.
He picked up the hoe and said, "Come with me. Don't let the regent see you covered in mud. Otherwise, he will come to trouble me."
Chu Li patted her wrinkled hem and asked, "How did you know the Regent would come?"
"There's the sound of horse hooves."
Chu Li was secretly shocked.
Why didn't she hear it?
The mountains were quiet, and apart from the sound of birds singing, she didn't hear any sound of horse hooves.
His ears were so sensitive, or perhaps it was a skill he acquired through a lifetime of fighting.
Leaving the field and walking into the bamboo forest, there is a small house with a yard in a quiet place. It is very elegant and quiet. Chickens and ducks are raised in the yard, and peppers are planted. It gives a sense of tranquility, like picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing the southern mountains.
Outside the door woven with the fence, a dark yellow figure was waiting.
He is an old monk.
He was wearing a cassock with his hands tucked into his wide sleeves, but his face... was covered with wrinkled burn scars, stretching from his chin to his forehead and extending to his ears. It looked extremely terrifying.
"You old thing, you're finally back."
"I came down the mountain to ask for a glass of water, but I didn't expect you were not at home."
The old monk came over and saw Chu Li leading the horse, "Who is this..."
"A young friend." Xie Enhong put down his hoe, "This is Master Guiyi, the master of Tianling Temple. It was just that twenty years ago, when the emperor went to Tianling Temple to worship Buddha, the temple accidentally flooded. Master Guiyi rushed to save the emperor and was burned like this."
Chu Li was surprised.
In this way, he saved his father!
It's just that she wasn't born twenty years ago, so she had never heard of this.
"Master Guiyi." She clasped her hands together.
"Buddha, Amitabha."
Master Guiyi's face was scary and ugly, but his voice was gentle, his manners were calm, his posture was elegant, and he looked approachable.
It is not difficult to imagine how tolerant and compassionate he was when his face was intact.
Xie Enhong opened the fence door:
"Don't just stand there, come in and talk."
"Guiyi, now that you're here, why don't you open the door and come in to sit down? My fence door isn't locked."
Master Guiyi put his hands in his sleeves, with wide earlobes, and smiled:
"How can a monk enter someone else's house without permission?"
Xie Enhong shook his head and said to Chu Li, "He is just like that. Ever since I retired from the army, I thought I had found a good place to live out my old age, but I didn't expect to be bumped into by this guy. He comes to me every now and then to discuss scriptures and doctrines. I am so annoyed."
He brought the kettle and cups and placed them on the table.
"Little boy, go inside and tidy yourself up first."
"Um?"
Is she terrible?
Chu Li lowered her head and saw that her shoes were covered in mud, and dozens of cockleburs had stuck to her skirt and sleeves. She looked like she had been beaten up.
Losing manners is also a sign of impoliteness.
Especially in front of two elders.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed General Xie!"
Chu Li held his lower back and went into the house, fetching water to wash.
Master Guiyi turned his head and looked, "Why is this kid limping?"
"We fought twice before, and she let me go."
"Your martial arts skills still require others to give in? Are you giving in to her on purpose?"
Xie Enhong smiled and drank a sip of water. He didn't say anything, but just said, "Please help me get her the bottle of medicinal wine on the window."
"Why are you hiding so lazily? Although I am a monk, there are still differences between men and women... Forget it, forget it, Amitabha."
Master Guiyi sighed, took the medicinal wine, walked to the door, and was about to turn around to knock on the door, but his eyes suddenly swept through the crack of the door and saw a pink mark that looked like a small petal on the woman's lower back.
His eyes suddenly shook.
Peach petal mark!
It's her!
How could it be her...
