Rules of Heaven - C48

He took out half of his remaining silver and placed it on a table with many holes on it.

He left quickly. When he left, he saw that the woman was helping Old Yu pack up the fish he had caught today while Old Yu was doing it …

Pick up the fishing nets. Life seemed quiet and peaceful, but Old Yu said he came here to escape the war.

There was also a desolate story.

He shook his head and left.

As if it had just rained, the branches were wet, and the dirt road was muddy, so they walked.

Ding Hong really stepped on the mud.

After walking for nearly two hours, he saw a kid riding an ox passing by. He stood on the spot and laughed as he asked.

“Boy, what’s your name? Do you know where we are? ”

The shepherd boy hit Yellow Ox with the branch in his hand, stopped, and said, “It’s very rude of you to ask my name like that.”

“Appearance!” He rolled his eyes. “Of course this is the village of the reeds.”

“Reed Village?” Ding Hong pondered for a moment. “Then this isn’t an island?”

The shepherd boy looked him up and down and asked curiously, “Where did you come from?” Of course it’s not here!]

“Sea Island, this is the land of the State of Zhou!”

“The State of Zhou!” Ding Hong could not help but shout out.

Mu Tong smiled and said, “You really are a strange person. It seems like you dress like a noble young master, but why are you doing this?”

Are you silly? ”

“Cough cough.” Ding Hong coughed dryly and said, “Little brother, you haven’t told me your name yet.

“?”

The shepherd boy rolled his eyes, “My name is Deng Kuo, but everyone else calls me Erniu.”

Ding Hong said, “Then Erniu, how close is Reed Village to here?”

Erniu looked at him, and his small face suddenly changed. He shouted, “You must be from within the He Qiao forest.

“A bandit strategist!” With that, he patted Yellow Ox before turning around to leave. Yet, that Yellow Ox actually had no idea what kind of beast it was.

His turning and accelerating speed was actually comparable to that of a horse.

However, these actions were a bit too slow for Ding Hong. Thinking that he must have misunderstood something, he decided to explain …

Even if she released him, she might not necessarily listen. He hopped onto Yellow Ox’s back.

When Erniu saw him jump up, he let out a sharp cry and quickly shouted, “Bandits are here! Bandits are here!”

It’s here! ”

Although he was small, his voice was loud, and in front of him was a valley. He heard a burst of “Bandits!”

“Yes.” The sound echoed in his ears.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Ding Hong didn’t even have a chance to react …

No.

Not too long after, a large number of people could be heard shouting not too far away from them. Meanwhile, a large number of people were also shouting not too far away from them …

On the reeds, there were actually many boats vaguely visible among the reeds.

Ding Hong was truly shocked by the scene before him.

Erniu glanced at him from the corner of his eye and said proudly, “Hey, when we arrive in a large group,

You can’t run if you want to. Scared? If you’re scared, then run! ”

Ding Hong looked at him strangely. He had never seen such an audacious child. [Even if I am …]

Bandits, but he doesn’t put a robber like me in his eyes either, right?

Threatening a bandit at the hands of a bandit?

Ding Hong rubbed his chin and looked forward. Suddenly, Erniu noticed that something was off while Erniu was still in a daze …

Then, he got off the calf and dashed off in the opposite direction. He ran past the corner of the road and disappeared like a wisp of smoke …

Got it.

But before Ding Hong could take a few breaths, Erniu came out again. However, there was a group of people following behind him. They were holding hands …

There were sticks, forks, kitchen knives, all of them.

When the crowd arrived, Erniu pointed at Ding Hong and said, “He is the bandit.”

But when Erniu finished speaking, he realized that no one moved. The people who just ran past in a rage,

When they saw Ding Hong’s refined look, they couldn’t help but look at each other. They all looked at Erniu.

Seeing that everyone did not believe him, Erniu started to sweat profusely. He said loudly, “He really is a bandit.”

”

Ding Hong sat on the big yellow ox and leisurely swung his legs a bit. He said, “What did I steal from you?”

Erniu said, “You stole my big yellow cow!”

Standing next to Erniu was a big fellow holding a fork. He looked at Erniu suspiciously and said, “Deng Erniu, what are you doing?”

How many times has it been? ”

Ouch! Ding Hong was somewhat gloating as he felt that this child had fooled the villagers more than once.

Erniu’s face turned red when he heard the big man’s question. He slowly lowered his head and said, “The third time.” whoosh *

Then, he raised his head and shouted, “But Second Uncle Wang, he really is …”

“Alright, alright, stop messing around.” Suddenly an old man with a white beard pushed his way through the crowd

“Yes.” When the surrounding people saw that it was him, they hurriedly stepped aside and greeted him, “Greetings, Village Head.”

He looked at Erniu, shook his head, and said, “Erniu, every time you do something small, it’s always because of something small.

There are bandits shouting, but there aren’t any every time. Everyone in the village is now panicking. What do you think we should do with you?

”

Erniu was at a loss for words. “Village Head, I …” The old man waved his hand and said, “I won’t listen to your explanation.”

“I’m released.”

He came before Ding Hong and apologetically said, “Young master, please do not take offense to your rudeness.”

Ding Hong smiled and jumped down from the top of the ox. However, he stepped into the mud. He couldn’t help but reveal a smile on his face …

He twitched his mouth and said embarrassedly, “No need, no need.”

The old man smiled in good will. He turned around and waved to the crowd. “Everyone, let’s go back.”

The crowd let out a hiss, and quite a few adults walked up to Erniu and viciously knocked him on the head …

As soon as the leader left, some of them began to curse under their breath.

After the old man saw that everyone had left, he said to Ding Hong, “Look at young master’s luxurious clothes, I wonder where you came from …”

And here? ”

Ding Hong said, “I came here because of some unforeseen circumstances that led me to this place.”

“We have reached this place.”

“Ink.” The old man looked him up and down, but he could not find anything to wear

“Young master, it’s not that I don’t want to take you to the village, it’s just that I have been doing so many things recently.”

Not good, there are too many bandits here. I don’t dare to lure you into the village for no reason. There’s a temple about 15 miles east of here.

To stay there. If you want to go to town, follow the official road behind the temple and walk 30 miles.

To the big town near here. ”

This news wasn’t considered bad for Ding Hong. After pondering for a moment, he asked, “Then do you know where we are?”

“?”

The old man thought for a moment and replied, “I don’t know the specific location. I’ve been in this village since I was young. If only I could …”

“Young master, if there’s anything you want to use to find your position, it can only be the mountain behind you, the Tong Bai Mountain.”

“Mount Cypress?” Ding Hong recalled the map that he had memorized and his eyes suddenly lit up.

The mountain range was located to the south of the Nine Swords Mountain Range, about 300,000 feet away. It was already close to Zhou …

The borders of the country. He hadn’t thought that he would be able to run so far away after coming out of the Sun Realm.

After he thanked the old man, he kept walking forward. It was already noon, so it would be good if he didn’t hurry up …

He might not be able to get to the place the old man was talking about. But he had not gone far when the old man sent for a horse.

To say that he was apologizing, this made Ding Hong excited for a long time.

Without hesitation, he mounted his horse and rode towards the temple that the old man had told him about.

September was considered to be the hottest month of the year. The scorching sun shone down on the vast earth, covering it in mud …

The ground actually dried up soon, which actually made it convenient for Ding Hong. In the evening, they arrived at the first floor.

In a forest, he finally saw a temple.

The temple was a little run-down, with dead branches and dead leaves all around. It was unknown how the monks cleaned it.

He dismounted and came to the temple.

The front of the temple was still quite spacious. However, there was a thick layer of fallen leaves. Many of them had already begun to pile up …

Rotten.

Seeing such a scene, Ding Hong could not help but frown. He carefully sized up the temple before him …

“Yes.”

A sign hung above the gate of the temple. It said “Little Concealed Temple”, but the sign said “Little Concealed Temple”

More than half of the golden powder on the seed had fallen off, and even the words’ Yin ‘and’ temple ‘were a little unclear.

The sky darkened, and the sun, which had been busy all day, finally set.

The surrounding temperature gradually turned cold, and a gale began to rise.

Ding Hong stood at the door for an entire hour without moving at all!

Suddenly, the sound of a carriage turning came from a nearby forest. Ding Hong turned his head to look …

“Yes.” He saw a horse carriage slowly drive out from the forest. When the driver saw Ding Hong, he was shocked for a moment and then held it in his hand …

He pulled.

The horse quickly stopped with a “hiss”. Ding Hong didn’t want to get into trouble, so he cupped his hands. “Good!”

Ye Zichen smiled meaningfully at him.

The carriage driver’s expression loosened, and a delicate voice from the carriage asked, “Uncle Xu, what’s wrong?”

“?” It was obviously a delicate woman.

The coachman frowned and glanced at Ding Hong. He turned his head and said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, Miss and Young Master.

“Passersby, this old servant thought it was an enemy chasing over.”

Hearing this, the woman from the carriage stuck her head out from inside, looking at the people standing in front of her …

In the distance, Ding Hong stood in front of the temple’s gate.

Ding Hong was also looking at the girl. She should be slightly younger than him. She didn’t have anything on her face, just …

It was because of the rouge on her lips, causing her to turn completely red.

She thought for a moment, then came out of the carriage with a package and prepared to get off the carriage. But as soon as she came out …

A boy about seven to eight years old ran out of the carriage and pulled him. He hurriedly said, “Big sister, he is a bad guy …”

“What should we do?” As he spoke, he glanced nervously at Ding Hong.

The girl shook her head and pulled his hand away, comforting him, “If it were bad people, they would have taken us away already.

”

He got off the carriage.

The coachman wanted to dissuade her, but she recalled that although her character seemed weak, her heart was strong and she did not …

He could only accompany her out of the carriage.

She and the carriage driver arrived in front of Ding Hong. When they saw the luxurious mask on his face, they were shocked.

After passing by, he whispered, “I came here by chance because I wanted to stay for the night.

”

Ding Hong laughed and said, “I was also lost. After asking around, I finally found this temple and was prepared to stay here.”

“Too late.”

The girl’s gaze passed by Ding Hong and sized up the temple. Her eyebrows slightly knitted as she said to Ding Hong:

“Why is Young Master standing here?”

Ding Hong coughed and said, “I see that this temple is a bit strange. I am also timid, so I don’t dare to enter it.”

“”

The girl was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said: “Then how about Young Noble come with us?”

To tell the truth, Ding Hong was really a bit afraid of this temple because he could feel the Yin energy inside of it …

There had to be a member of the demon race. He had just been standing here for a long time just to see if he would see them in the evening …

To something. But before they even saw the demons and ghosts, they first saw a group of people.

Ding Hong thought for a moment. “This is good as well. May I know how to address you, Miss?”

Hearing his question, the coachman hurriedly replied, “Because we avoided the war, we didn’t dare to tell the Young Master our real names.

Please forgive me, young master. If anything happens, just call me Young Master. My name is Xu Si. ”

Ding Hong nodded his head, knowing the difficulties they were facing. He then said, “My name is Xiaofeng.”

“Xiaofeng?” The young girl repeated in surprise. She had never heard of such a strange name …

“Yes.”

Ding Hong smiled and said, “That’s right.”

Of course, he could not guess the other person’s name. She smiled apologetically and said to Xu Si: “”

Uncle Xu, bring Zhong Jing here. ”

The driver nodded his head and went to the carriage. He carried the young boy from the carriage and got off with them …

He walked over. The boy walked over and hastily hugged his sister, afraid that she would throw him off.

When Ding Hong saw that they had all come over, he did not dawdle and knocked on the door of the temple.

Not long ago, he heard a conversation within the temple. There must be life within the temple! No

Whether this creature was human or not, Ding Hong had been trying to guess.

“Knock, knock, knock.” The sound of knocking on the door was very clear in the quiet night. It was as if his body was trembling …

The weakest part of the body, the person who heard the voice, unconsciously became short of breath.

“Creak!” The faded scarlet door opened and a monk stuck his head out and asked with a frown on his face.

“What are you doing so late?”

Ding Hong cupped his hands and said, “We were passing by, but it is already late. We just want to borrow your help here.”

“One night.”

The monk glanced at him and then glanced at the few people behind him. However, a glint flashed across his eyes …

Although the light was short, it was still unable to escape Ding Hong’s notice.

Seeing this scene, Ding Hong harrumphed coldly in his heart. He said, “Can I?”

The monk opened the door with a lazy look and said enthusiastically, “Esteemed guests, please come in quickly.

There are very few people in the temple, but there are a lot of empty rooms. ”

Ding Hong nodded, turned around and nodded to them, and entered the temple alone. Xu Si and the little boy Ming

He heaved a sigh of relief, but the girl seemed to have realized something and slightly frowned, but she still brought the boy along …

They entered the temple.

In front of the temple gate, there was a pool that was eight Zhang wide and six Zhang wide. In the middle of the pool, there was a stone bridge, and in front of the stone bridge …

On the left was a stone tablet with the words “Pond of Life” written on it.

There were a few lotus flowers in the pond, and there was a stone carving of Guan Yin on the left and right. However, Ding Hong didn’t see this pond …

There were living things and the like.

The monk lead them around the pond and the hall, through a few walls and to the right of the row of buildings

The house said, “Benefactor, there is no one living in these halls. There might be some dust in there.

“Yes.”

The young girl said, “Having a place to stay is enough. Thank you, master.”

The monk shook his head and said, “I am just an ordinary monk. How could I be worthy of the name ‘master’?

Everyone, rest. I will be meditating in the Magic Hall over there. If you have anything you want to say, you can come and find me. ”

He clasped his hands, bowed, and left.

Ding Hong watched him leave. The distance between each step was actually equal. Even the time of each step was the same.

Even though he was just an ordinary monk, there was something strange about him. He turned around and said to the three of them, “I am here.

If anything happens to you, you can just call me. ” After he finished speaking, he casually chose a room.

Zi walked in.
