"Bang... Bang... Bang..."
The sudden enemy alarm in Tianlong Temple immediately disrupted the situation at Shuangshuyuan! Guo Nuan and Zhou Yi's faces changed drastically, thinking that maybe the three Night Demons had revealed their true colors and were bumped into by the people from Tianlong Temple
Although the changes in their expressions were subtle, they could not escape Master Kurong's eyes. He frowned slightly and asked, "But are the companions who came with you to this temple?"
Zhou Yi knew that the old monk was very knowledgeable about worldly affairs and it was impossible to hide anything from his sharp eyes. Instead, he became calm and said calmly, "Yes, there are five of us in total. We went to Tianlong Temple together. We split into two when we entered the gate. I think the ones who were discovered by the masters of your temple are the other three!"
"I see. I wonder how the martial arts of these other three compare to those of the two donors?" asked Master Ku Rong.
"This..." Zhou Yi was stumped by Master Kurong's question. In terms of martial arts, Ming Suxin learned from the Ancient Tomb School and came out of seclusion after completing his studies! Ye Mo possessed the unique martial arts of the Crescent Moon Scimitar and the bird-crossing technique. He might not be able to match him. As for Su Haoran, he didn't need to be mentioned. With the Purple Cloud Magic Skill and the Dugu Nine Swords, it's hard to say who would win in a battle with Guo Nuan!
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi said, "It's not much different from our martial arts!"
Master Ku Rong's pupils dilated, and he seemed a little surprised. He couldn't help but laugh: "It is true that heroes emerge from youth. I didn't expect there would be three young heroes like you two. I am really old, really old!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside Shuangshu Courtyard, followed by a familiar shout: "Grand Master, Grand Master..." The voice came from far away, and soon a young disciple pushed the door open and shouted: "Grand Master, foreign enemies are attacking Tianlong Temple, you..." The young man broke into the door and suddenly saw the figures of Zhou Yi and Guo Nuan. His brain froze and he stood there stupidly, his mouth wide open and unable to utter a word.
"Duan Tianchi?" Zhou Yi immediately recognized the young man's movements, rushed forward, and said excitedly: "It was him, who first hired someone to break my elder brother Feng Qi Tianlan's limbs, and then successively attacked and killed my friends Guo Nuan and Yun Chongxiao?"
Duan Tianchi did not expect to see Zhou Yi and Guo Nuan in Shuangshu Courtyard, but he reacted very quickly and immediately retorted loudly: "You are slandering me. I, Duan Tianchi, am a descendant of the Dali Duan family. I have always been upright and dignified. How could I do such a thing as hiring someone to kill someone?"
“Humph!” Guo Nuan snorted coldly and said, “My junior sister has admitted it. It was you two who killed me on the road to Mount Emei!”
"What a joke! Your junior sister wanted to kill you, how can you put the blame on me? You should go find your junior sister and see how Nun Miejue disciplines you, the Emei disciples!"
“You...” Guo Nuan was a little annoyed by what Duan Tianchi said. Just as he was about to take action, he heard a voice of “Amitabha!”. Master Kurong immediately uttered a clear Buddhist chant, which immediately put an end to the tense atmosphere in the room.
Upon hearing this, Duan Tianchi immediately bowed respectfully to Master Kurong and said softly, "Master, this man is the notorious villain in the martial arts world, the one who never gets drunk even after drinking a thousand cups. He came to my Tianlong Temple in the middle of the night, so he must have no good intentions!"
"Tianchi, these two are my guests, don't be rude!" Master Kurong scolded Duan Tianchi with a slightly cold expression, and then said: "You rushed to Shuangshuyuan in a hurry, but what big thing happened?"
"Yeah!" Duan Tianchi nodded vigorously and said, "Master Benyin found many traces of outsiders breaking into the temple. These outsiders are highly skilled in martial arts and their lightness skills are even better. They are now fleeing in my Tianlong Temple. I would like to ask Master Kurong to take charge of the situation!" After saying that, Duan Tianchi kept looking at Zhou Yi with great hostility!
Master Kurong smiled without saying anything, and said to Duan Tianchi: "It's okay, just leave it to your senior brother Duan Chang Tianya! If there is nothing else, you can... I don't know which friend you are, it's a great honor for you to visit my little Shuangshu Courtyard!" Master Kurong's words came suddenly, and for a moment the other three people on the scene were a little at a loss.
After a moment, a dull voice sounded: "Haha! After many years of not seeing you, Master Kurong's Zen skills have improved again!" Just as the words fell, an old man in green appeared in front of the door. This man had a long beard hanging down to his chest, his face was dark, and he was leaning on a steel staff in his hand. His eyes were wide open, and he looked extremely spirited!
"Who are you?" Master Kurong looked at the newcomer as if he was familiar with him, and narrowed his eyes to look at him carefully.
The man in green robe chuckled twice, raised his iron staff horizontally, and pointed at the air. A light golden energy shot out. Master Ku Rong saw this finger, his face changed drastically, and he waved his monk robe to disperse the energy. He took a step forward, opened his eyes wide, and his voice trembled: "You... Could it be...?"
The green-robed guest said, "Yes, I am the Prince of Yanqing that day! Master Kurong, you didn't expect that, did you?"
"Amitabha!" Master Ku Rong put his hands together and bowed, saying, "I never thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still alive. God is really blessing our Duan family!"
"Humph!" Duan Yanqing snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid that the ones blessed by God are Duan Zhengming, Duan Zhengchun and other traitors, right?"
Master Kurong shook his head and slowly said, "Things back then were full of twists and turns. Emperor Baoding ascended the throne with the support of his ministers after he had searched for Prince Yanqing for many times but failed. Now that many years have passed, Prince Yanqing, please let it go!"
"Ridiculous!" Duan Yanqing was furious. With a clang, his iron rod made a huge pit on the ground. He then shouted, "Duan Zhengming has seized my ancestral heritage and has been living here until now. Should I let it go? Back then, I rushed to the outside of Tianlong Temple with my seriously injured body, but you refused to even see me. Now you want me to let it go? Shouldn't the Pure Land of Dali just take care of Duan Zhengming?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Yanqing suddenly stepped forward, holding his iron staff horizontally, and infused the steel staff with the power of One Yang Finger, which pointed directly at Master Kurong's "Tianchi Point". Upon seeing this, Master Kurong also used his power to roll up his long monk robe, revealing a finger as rotten as a dead bamboo, and suddenly pointed forward, also using the power of One Yang Finger to break Duan Yanqing's thundering attack.
"I really don't know what happened back then, otherwise how could I refuse the prince entry? Today, prince, why don't you follow me and practice Buddhism in the Tianlong Temple? I will definitely be able to resolve your troubles!"
"Buddhism?" Duan Yanqing smiled coldly and said, "Master, you should keep it and practice it slowly!" After saying that, Duan Yanqing had already approached Master Kurong, only to see that Master Kurong shook his head helplessly, secretly using Kurong Zen skills, and was about to fight back!
Suddenly, a cold light suddenly pierced through Master Ku Rong's back! This scene change was so abrupt that everyone in the field stared with their eyes wide open, totally unable to believe what they saw. (To be continued)
