But on the second day, dressed properly and prepared to go to the Leisure Temple alone. He was worried that the four little Spiritual Masters would secretly follow him, so he quietly said to Fang Shen: ”While Pu Xian and the rest don't know anything, I will set off for Leisure Temple. If I don't come back for a while, you don't have to send for me, and you don't have to worry about me. I'll come back after I finish my work. ” ”It would be for the best if you could go personally. This made sense. If something happens there, you don't have to deal with it alone. Come back and let me know. Those spies from Black Dragon Society, cannot be dealt with by one person. ”
While the two of them were quietly calculating, the four young masters were secretly staring at Ru Feng, and the four of them ran out. Pu Xian said: ”Martial Uncle, we will all go with you. Along the way, encountering dozens of spies from Black Dragon Society was nothing to be afraid of. Kill him if he encounters too little; kill him if he encounters too much. ” Pu Tuo said: ”If they do not let us meet them, it is their good fortune. If we do meet them, it is their misfortune.”
Ru Feng saw that as the four of them were talking, they were all pressing their swords down angrily. Ru Feng knew that it would be difficult to get rid of the four of them, so he said, ”I was afraid that all of you would come with me, so I secretly bid farewell to the Fang Chang. You were all staring at me and decided to go together. What are you all doing? I don't bring anyone. ”
He then said excitedly, ”All of you are looking down on my monk. They obviously thought I was useless. Do I have to take four bodyguards with me when I go out? All of you, stay in the temple and listen to the orders of the abbot. Leisure Temple is Aunt's place, so it's not convenient for us to go with more people. If we don't come back, it's too small for us to live in. ”
”All of you better not bother your Martial Uncle. How could there be such a coincidence? Even if we were to meet a few of them, your Junior Master wouldn't be in any danger. ” Only then did the four young Adepts stop following him.
Ru Feng hurriedly rushed out of the door to the Leisure Temple realm. He hoped that he could arrive there in a short while and take a shortcut out of the city, but he didn't care about the path heading straight towards the Leisure Temple. At this time, the quiet night wind was gentle, the jade was deep, the bright moon was in the sky, and the stars were shining brightly. The more he walked, the more relaxed he felt. Unknowingly, he had arrived at the banks of the Clear Water River. Ru Feng looked at the scenery in front of him and saw the beautiful aquatic plants, the tall cattails, the deep mud and the rapid flowing water.
He tried to find a narrow place in the current and jump over it. After a few steps, he found a narrow place in the water, but he didn't dare to jump again. He said in his heart, ”My jump must have been in the mud, not only did it dirty the mackintosh, but it also glued off the soles of my shoes. How am I supposed to meet people in my bare feet? Forget it, I will just find the ferry and get there safely. ”
Ru Feng was searching for the ferry when he suddenly saw a person on the other side who was also looking for a way to cross the river. Ru Feng hid in the bushes to size him up, and when he saw that person looking at the water, he muttered to himself, ”I remember that this river is not that wide, and not that deep either. How did it become so deep and urgent? I'd better find a shallow spot and wade through. It's muddy, it's full of water, it's dirty, it's stuck, it can't go through here. ”
This fellow must have a habit of talking about ghosts,” he said to himself. Who are you talking to? Aren't you from Beijing? It rained heavily a few days ago, and you don't know it? It's strange that the water is flowing so fast. ” The man was heading upstream again, looking for the ferry. Judging from his voice, he knew he was a grown man. ”You're looking for me,” he thought as he came out of the grass again. You may not be a good person. ” And so, without a sound, he went downstream to search for the ferry. Not far away, Rufeng saw a narrow ferry. Looking closer, he saw that there was also a bridge made of stone and wood.
Ru Feng was ecstatic in his heart, and thought to himself: ”There's probably something wrong with that person's eyes. He just walked past here and he didn't even see the bridge. ” Ru Feng stepped onto the bridge and arrived at the other side of the bridge in a few steps. The man was still looking upstream. Just as Ru Feng wanted to point out his confusion to call him back.
Suddenly, he heard someone angrily say, ”Where exactly do you want me to go? Why did he take this quiet path? You are not afraid of wading in the water, but I am afraid of dirtying my clothes. If you continue to torture me like this, I'll have to call for reinforcements. ”
Ru Feng was immediately on guard when he heard it, and looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a person tied his hands behind his back, standing beside him with a sword in his hand, looking at him. The two of them then continued: ”Lower your voice, what are you calling them? If you continue to be dishonest, I'll stab you! ” That person said, ”At this point in time, he is no longer afraid of anything. You reach out and eat the meat. I'm a man, and if I frown, I'm afraid of you. ”A man can be killed but not humiliated. Why are all of you tormenting me like this?”
Ru Feng thought: ”So there were three of them. Who were these people? Look at that young man tied up. Judging from his complaints and attitude, he must be a group of kidnappers. ”I shall listen carefully. If that is the case, I shall disrupt their beautiful affairs and punish the wicked.”
Ru Feng pondered in his heart about how to take action, and listened carefully. The two men continued, ”Don't scream! If you dare to make a sound again, I will cut off your arm and then cut off your tongue. ”I'll torture you to death!” Who's afraid of you? If you want to kill me, kill me! I just want to shout! ” The man with the sword panicked and punched and kicked the bound man. Then he said, ”This place is very quiet. There are no people here, not even pedestrians. It is useless for you to shout. No one will come to your rescue even if you shout your lungs out. It's better to save some energy. Unless you have the ability to summon the heavens and summon the immortals to save you. Those who know what's good for them should just behave and stop suffering physical pain. ”I'll tell you the truth: you are the meat on our chopping block right now, and you can do whatever you want to us.”
Ru Feng understood everything and was furious. He was about to step forward and pull out his sword to help. Then he saw the man with the sword, and he tied up the young man's leg with a rope. The young man was still unconvinced and continued to compete with him. The sabre bearer became anxious. As he walked towards the river, he complained, ”Why haven't we found a place to go?”
The man who had been looking for the ferry by the river had walked away and did not hear him. The man with the knife walked to the river, looked at the water and said, ”I remember it is accurate. The bridge is just around here. Why is it gone? You got broken by the water? ” He also slowly headed upstream.
