At this time, the humidity in the air was getting heavier. In the dark night sky, dark clouds rolled, covering the moon and stars. The thunder and lightning in the distance were moving towards this side little by little, accompanied by "booming" thunder.
Drops of drizzle began to fall, foreshadowing a restless night. Along with the thunderstorm came people riding horses, all wearing hats to keep out the rain, and their target was clear: this dilapidated temple.
Lianyi had opened a simple protective shield to keep the drizzle out, and Haina's monk robe was also dry and crisp.
The sound of horse hooves accompanied by the neighing of horses finally stopped in front of the temple. The leader kicked the horse's belly lightly. The horse walked to the front with its owner, snorting uneasily and kicking its hooves uneasily.
"Are you the young lady from the Wu family?"
"It's me. What advice do you have for me, big brother?"
"Give up your wealth to ward off disaster. Hand over the treasure that Wu Youcai left for you, and I will spare your life."
The other party is very arrogant.
At this time, the raindrops were becoming denser and denser, from drizzle to moderate rain, and there was a trend of getting heavier and heavier.
"Brother, do I look so easy to deceive? I'm afraid that if I hand over what you want, I'll be dead in an instant."
Lianyi simply shook her head.
"Humph! Then you just watch as the people around you die one by one because of you, and see how long you can hold on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he drew out his sword with a "swish".
"Only keep this woman, kill the others!"
Then he kicked the horse's belly and was about to rush forward. The rainy night was their best cover and would clean up all the traces they left behind. He felt that God was helping them.
Unfortunately, they were slapped in the face the next moment. The horses stood up and dared not rush towards the direction of the ripples, as if there were some ferocious beasts there. Not only that, the horses were still retreating reluctantly.
Even the crack of the whip could not make the horses change their minds.
"Abandon the horse!"
At the leader's command, the fifty or so men dismounted and rushed forward with swords in hand.
"Horses are smarter than you!"
Lianyi said calmly, then raised her hand and drew a circle, and the falling rain stopped in mid-air. Then she flicked her jade fingers again, and thousands of raindrops turned into fine needles, stabbing at the person who was wielding a knife.
The "puff puff puff" sound continued. In just three breaths, except for the leader, everyone else fell to the ground and died.
The leader was startled at this moment. He turned around and saw his fallen accomplice. Then he turned his head to look at the young lady of the Wu family. She was walking slowly towards him. He subconsciously held the knife with both hands, took a step back, swallowed, and said with some difficulty:
"What are you going to do?"
"Aren't you going to kill me?"
With a "clang", the knife in the leader's hand fell to the ground. His hands seemed to be pierced by something and were bleeding. Mixed with the rain, it dyed the puddle of rain under his feet red in a moment.
"Mercy, miss, mercy!"
The leader knelt down. It was the first time he had seen a powerful enemy who could kill them all with a wave of his hand. If he didn't want to die, he could only beg for mercy.
"Who sent you?"
"I don't know! We just get the job through a middleman."
"Take on the job of murder and robbery"
Ripple asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Yes, yes.”
In the eyes of the leader at this moment, the woman in front of him was the devil who came to take his life. He knew that they had hit a wall this time. Now he just wanted to go back alive, because only by staying alive could he take revenge.
This thought just flashed through his mind, and the next moment he fell straight into the rain with a red spot between his eyebrows.
"Amitabha!"
Haina, who had watched the whole process, chanted a Buddhist name. It was a dangerous night. If it weren't for the intervention of Miss Wu, he and his little disciple would have been buried along with the temple.
The sky seemed to sense the killing here and moved the rolling dark clouds directly over Lianyi's head. The rumbling sound and lightning struck Lianyi.
"It looks like my chance has come."
Lianyi waved his sleeves, moved the corpse away, then sat down cross-legged and steadily took the falling lightning.
When lightning entered her body, Lianyi immediately started practicing martial arts, using the power of lightning to compress the spiritual energy in her body, compressing the gaseous spiritual energy in her dantian into liquid, helping her enter the foundation-building stage.
After the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, Lianyi restrained his aura, then stood up, and with a wave of his hand, countless sparks fell, instantly turning the corpse on the ground into ashes. He waved his sleeves again, and the ashes flew away with the wind, disappearing without a trace.
"Amitabha! Congratulations to the female Bodhisattva for improving her strength!"
"Congratulations! These horses are a token of apology from these evildoers for disturbing the tranquility of the Buddhist temple. Master, please accept them."
Ripple said with a smile.
Then he waved his sleeves, and the tightly closed door finally opened. Jie Kong and Luo Ying ran out, and then, nothing happened.
"Luo Ying, help me to rest!"
"Yes, Miss!"
Luo Ying looked outside suspiciously. She had clearly heard the man's shouting just now, so how come there was no one around now?
"master!"
Jiekong ran to Haina, looked him up and down, and found that his master was fine. Then he looked at the horses wandering in front of the door.
"Jiekong, lead all these horses into the yard."
"Yes, Master!"
Jiekong immediately ran towards the horses happily, not caring about the puddles on the ground that soaked his robe.
Lianyi returned to her room to consolidate her cultivation. After a night of practice, her complexion became more and more beautiful, and her brilliant and extraordinary temperament became more and more intense.
Lianyi went out early in the morning and set up blind spots and mazes around the temple to protect the entire temple.
I got someone else's relic bracelet and took the opportunity to advance to the foundation-building stage. This can be considered a return gift.
Everyone rested surprisingly well that night. After breakfast, they were ready to go. Lianyi handed the purse Luo Ying gave her to the little monk Jiekong and said with a smile:
"Master Jiekong, this is the incense money I donated. Thank you for taking me in last night."
"You are welcome, female Bodhisattva. If you need help, you can come to my Yunyin Temple at any time."
After the two sides said goodbye, Lianyi got on the carriage and continued to move towards the capital.
Manager Li and Mrs. Li finally put their minds at ease. They had previously agreed that there was something fishy about the temple, but they ended up worrying for half the night as nothing happened, except that the thunder was a little louder at night.
Mrs. Li muttered something, looked back unintentionally, and the next moment her face turned pale. She grabbed the wrist of Manager Li next to her and shook it hard.
Manager Li felt pain from the pinch and frowned. He tried to shake it off but failed. He looked up to curse, but saw Mrs. Li with a pale face and pointing behind him, asking him to look.
He turned his head suddenly, and the hairs on his back stood up, because the temple that had taken them in last night was gone! Yes, it was gone!
The place where the temple was originally located was flat, with only raised rocks and gray vegetation on the ground, and nothing else.
He mechanically turned his head and looked at Mrs. Li. The two supported each other and moved their weak legs, trying their best to catch up with the carriage without looking back.
"Master, why are those two people so frightened? Did Jiekong scare them?"
The little monk touched his bald head and asked with some confusion.
"Amitabha! Let's go to do morning prayers!"
My dears, Feng Ling is so angry that she is dying. The allergy is coming back again. This time, both eyelids are red and swollen. I took some medicine and rested for a whole morning. Now I feel better. I got up and wrote. There will be updates before 10 o'clock! Thank you for your waiting and support! Please continue to help recommend~
