The sudden voice startled the two of them.
At that time, Sun Yixie held the trident in his hand horizontally, as if he was about to stab someone.
Huang Donglai also suddenly became alert from his just relaxed state, and his hand instinctively touched the hidden weapon in his sleeve.
"What?" Seeing this, the dark voice sneered, "Ha... you broke in without telling me, and you still want to fight me?"
When the second sentence came to light, the situation was different again.
Because this meant that the speaker was a monk, and combined with this environment, Sun and Huang couldn't help but think: Could it be that there are still monks staying in this ruined temple?
Just when they were hesitating, they heard a "click" and a spark lit up from the depths of the Buddhist hall.
The two of them took a closer look and saw that there was really an old monk standing there, holding a newly lit fire folder. His bare head looked particularly eye-catching in the firelight.
"Are you both mute?" The old monk said as he moved a few steps to the side and lit a few candles placed beside the altar.
The Buddhist hall suddenly became much brighter.
At this time, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai saw clearly that the monk in front of them was in his early sixties, with gray beard and hair, wearing a very tattered blue-gray monk's robe, and a string hanging around his neck. It seemed to be a Buddhist bead made of iron, and there was a rather large cloth bundle at its feet.
"Uh...this master." Huang Donglai has a better cultural background, so he still has to negotiate at this time, "My two brothers were passing by here and happened to encounter heavy rain, so they came in to take shelter. ..." He paused for a moment, then scanned the surrounding environment by candlelight, then clasped his fists and said, "We thought this was an abandoned temple, but we didn't expect that there were still people there, and there were still people who were disturbing us. I hope you can forgive me."
"Yes, that's right." Sun Yixie also put away his trident and echoed, "Please forgive me."
They are in the big room. In most cases, they are still reasonable people, and they don't think that trying to show off one's power with an old monk is of no use; they are old and a monk, so they should be polite.
The monk lit the candle, returned to his original place, sat down cross-legged on a futon, looked at them up and down, then nodded and continued: "Well... it's not bad. Polite, not bad."
After saying this, he seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but sigh, and then said: "Well, it's not easy for young people nowadays to have such a tutor. . ”
Although the two parties have only spoken a few words in total, Sun and Huang have already vaguely felt that... the old monk's mouth is a bit damaged. Even the words of praise seemed to be thorny when they came out of his mouth.
"Why are you standing there? Come and sit." Seeing that they were a little at a loss, the old monk took the initiative to call them to sit down. At the same time, he reached behind him and grabbed something from under the incense table. Two shabby futons came.
Sun Yixie is not the master of his skills.What could be seen, but Huang Donglai was more sensitive to the flow of internal energy, and he immediately figured out the way - the old monk first used internal energy to "suck" the two futons into his hands, and then grabbed them with his hands.
Although this operation is very inconspicuous, anyone who knows the skill understands that it is much more terrifying than shattering a large rock several meters away with one punch.
According to the common sense of martial arts practitioners in this universe, unless you have practiced some extraordinary martial arts that defy the heavens, otherwise, in order to achieve "internal strength and external strength", you generally need to practice for more than ten years; To achieve "transformation into form with Qi", that is, the released internal power can continue to exist and be controlled freely for a certain period of time like a solid body, it will take at least twenty years; After that, the user can not cause any damage according to the user's wishes, but can have various effects on the surrounding entities... This is the state where the internal force is invisible, formless, soundless and colorless - this state is what many people have practiced for a lifetime. If you can't reach it, most master-level masters can only touch the threshold of this realm. Once you cross this threshold, you will be a "super first-class" master, and in one-on-one situations, you can stabilize those "first-class" ones.
Of course, there are no higher realms, that is, the "extreme" level; but there are only a few known masters in the entire martial arts world, and the information about them is basically a mystery. Because no one can test their full strength.
At this moment, Huang Donglai could tell at a glance that the old monk in front of him must be at least a "super first-class" master; this made him secretly happy: Fortunately, we didn't jump in his face just now, otherwise he would Even if it doesn't kill us, it just "teaches" us a lesson, that's enough for us to drink from.
"Huh?" After just one breath, the old monk's expression changed a bit, and he turned to look at Huang Donglai, who had just sat down, "Oh, you kid, you still have some eyesight. ."
Huang Donglai was shocked and thought: This old man can read minds? How does he know that I have seen his strength?
"What? You don't understand?" The old monk said with a smile, "Your heart rate and breathing are all disordered, and you don't know it?"
When Huang Donglai heard this, he suddenly understood, but at the same time he secretly thought Shocked: "He knows this kind of thing? Then he knows even if I fart?"
"What are you talking about?" Although Sun Yixie couldn't see through the old monk, he saw The look on his brother's face told him that something was wrong, so he became alert again.
"Brother Sun." Huang Donglai had already thought of the old monk's identity at this time, so he said, "I'm afraid this senior is..."
"Yes." The old monk also knew Huang Donglai had already recognized him and interrupted directly, "I am the 'Iron Monk Yihuai'."
"Huh?" This was Sun Yixie's first reaction when he heard the name. .
"What the hell?" Huang Donglai said, "Have you never heard of the famous 'Golden Beggar, Silver Dao, Bronze Confucianism and Iron Monk'?"
"Uh..." Sun Yi Xie hesitated, "I really haven't heard of it."
" Damn! "Huang Donglai was not so polite when talking to Brother Sun, and he did not need to be formal. "Then I will tell you now, the person in front of us is Master Yihuai, who is known as the 'Iron Monk' among the four masters. ”
“Oh! Only then did Sun Yixie react, "His nickname is Iron Monk, and his dharma title is Yihuai, right?" Hey... I thought there was someone named Tieseng Yihuai. "He said, and then looked at Yi Huai, "I have admired you for a long time~I have no respect~"
For a person who is so thick-skinned that he said "I haven't heard of it" in the first sentence and "I have admired you for a long time" in the next sentence. I don’t know how to evaluate him, I just smiled awkwardly, feeling that all the effects of my pretense of being an expert were ruined.
“Senior, this is my brother’s first time in the world. If there is any offense, please don't blame me. "On the other side, Huang Donglai quickly said something for Sun Yixie.
Yihuai would not care about juniors like them, and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, you don't need to say it, I can tell you at a glance. I can see that you two are inexperienced in the world of martial arts. He paused for half a second and then continued, "If you are a veteran in the world, you will definitely confirm the situation in this Buddhist hall before letting go of your guard before going in to take shelter from the rain." "
These words, even if they are imparting Jianghu experience, are indeed very useful, and both Sun and Huang have firmly remembered them.
"Take me for example. "Yihuai said again, "When I came here, I checked all the front and back of the temple. Not only to see if there was anyone ambushing, but also to see if there were any threats such as traps and poisons. In addition, When a person spends the night in a strange environment, he cannot sleep deeply, nor can he light a lamp... These are all things you should know. "
"Wait! Sun Yixie heard something at this time and interrupted, "Master, you are not a monk in this temple. You are also passing by?" "
"Yes? What's wrong? "Yihuai asked back.
"Then why did you act like we had broken into your place when we came in? "Although Sun Yixie knew the other party's name, he didn't know the other party's strength, so he dared to ask such arrogant questions.
"Nonsense! Empty temple, I am the first to enter, so I am the master, and you who come later are the guests. When the guests come, don’t you say hello to the master? "Yihuai also didn't sound like an eminent monk at all when he spoke. He was very confused.
"Hey! "Sun Yixie still wanted to argue with the other party.
As a result, Huang Donglai rushed forward and covered Brother Sun's mouth: "Stop talking to me! What's there to argue about? ”
Huang Donglai, who knew the opponent’s strength, was still thinking about flattering the old man and asking him to give him some benefits. How could he let Sun Yixie offend the opponent with his nonsense.
"Pfft——" Sun Yixie pushed Huang Donglai's hand away, "Okay, okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it. Why are you excited? Have you washed your hands after going to the toilet? Why don't you cover my mouth? ”
“How can I wash myself after being soaked in the rain for a long time? Huang Donglai said unhappily, "Do you believe it again?"Believe me, I'll smear sleeping pills on your face? ”
“You have the guts to come!” I'm afraid you'll pick me up? "Sun Yixie started again.
Watching the interaction between the two, Master Yihuai's thoughts fell into chaos... He felt that at the beginning he said "these two are quite polite" The impression may be a bit biased.
…………
Sun and Huang didn’t quarrel for too long, after all, they were exhausted after traveling all day.
The two then introduced themselves to Yihuai and told them their destination. During the chat, they took out some dry food and shared some with Yihuai.
Actually, before meeting them, Yihuai had not eaten anything all day long and had only drank water. He was very grateful to have a decent bite of food now; but he was one of those kind-hearted people. The type with a bad mouth would not say anything nice after eating someone else's food.
Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai didn't mind either. After they finished eating, they chatted with the old monk again. In the end, I was really sleepy, so I went to find a place with hay and slept on a futon.
After they all fell asleep, I thought about it again and thought to myself. These two boys are quite interesting, and judging from their actions along the way, they can indeed be called chivalrous people.
I thought that the three of them met here. It was fate that the two of them had this "benefit" from him; since they were going to attend the Young Heroes Association, he might as well help them secretly.
Thinking of this, he thought. Then I unpacked the baggage I brought with me...
