Chapter 130 Asceticism
"May I ask who is Chief Su's bodyguard?"

When the voice came, everyone subconsciously looked towards the door.

In front of the door, I saw two people, one old and one young, standing outside the door of the inn, looking inside.

The older one must be over sixty at least, with a gray beard and hair, but a rather ruddy complexion, and the clothes are not luxurious, but extremely decent.

And beside him was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.

With timid eyes, he looked at Su Mo and his group in the inn, feeling a little shy.

Everyone was confused for a moment, not knowing where it came from, one old and one young.

Su Mo immediately smiled: "You two are looking for me?"

"You are Chief Su's bodyguard?"

The old man raised his head and glanced at Su Mo, his eyes glowed with scrutiny, and nodded slightly after a while:

"This old man has met Chief Su's bodyguard, Wan'er, come and meet Chief Su's bodyguard."

"See... I've met Chief Su's bodyguard."

The little girl saluted timidly.

"You two know me?"

Su Mo was a little curious.

"do not know."

But the old man shook his head hastily: "However, there are always rumors in the world. Therefore, I know that Chief Su's bodyguard comes from the Ziyang Bodyguard Bureau of Luoxia City."

"That's true."

Su Mo said with a smile: "Stop talking standing up, old man, please sit down first, and speak slowly if you have anything to say. Xiao Chuan, take someone to prepare and wait at the door after paying the bill."

"okay."

Xiao Chuan agreed and was going to do it.

Shopkeeper Cheng quickly said: "Brother Xiaochuan, you can't do this, no matter what, you can't let you pay for this store."

While talking, he chased after him, entangled with Xiao Chuan endlessly, scrambling to pay.

The old man didn't sit down, but looked around, as if he was a little embarrassed.

Su Mo was slightly taken aback, thought for a while and said, "How about I ask the shopkeeper for a private room?"

"Then there will be chief escort Lausu."

The old man nodded politely.

Su Mo didn't think it was disobedient, but just greeted the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper hurriedly asked the second brother to lead a few people to the private room on the second floor.

At this point, the old man and the girl just sat down, and the waiter poured tea for both of them, then turned and left.

Su Mo asked with a smile, "Haven't you asked the old man Gao's name?"

"Don't dare."

The old man quickly said: "This old man's surname is Li, Li Siyun."

"It turned out to be Mr. Li, but he didn't know why he was looking for us this time?"

Su Mo asked with a smile.

"To be honest..."

Li Siyun said with a smile: "This old man is originally from Luoxia City. He has been nurtured by his family since he was a child, so since he became an adult, he has been traveling and doing business in various places in the Eastern Wasteland. It can be regarded as a little bit of property.

"However, it is often said that the sky is unpredictable, and the moon is full and cloudy. In the business world, there are even more treacherous turmoil. There are no swords, swords, and dangers, but it seems to be another river and lake.

"In the past, the old man mistakenly believed in evil people, so that his family was in decline, and the foundation laid down by his ancestors was finally in vain.

"At that time, the old man was still considered to be in his prime of life, so he was unwilling to be content with this, so he gathered up all the remaining family assets and decided to put all his eggs in one basket...

"The details of this are too much to repeat, so the old man will make a long story short.

"At that time, the old man exchanged all his money for goods, and originally planned to go deep into the East City to do business.

"Unexpectedly, something went wrong on the road.

"The guards who have been traveling with me have colluded with the local tyrants, set up an ambush on the road, and the guards have betrayed them, but in just a cup of tea, the people around the old man have died.

"Just when the old man thought that he was about to step into the footsteps, he didn't expect that someone suddenly shouted: 'In broad daylight, who dares to commit murder?'!
"The old man looked up, and saw a young knight coming with a long gun, broke into the crowd, and fought if there was any disagreement.

"Amazing!"

When Li Siyun said this, his eyes shone brightly:
"It's true that the spear is like a dragon, there is no enemy in the place it passes, but in just a moment, almost all of this group of people have been killed.

"This person saved my life, I talked to him in detail, and it turned out that we were going the same way in the end.

"He said that he had something to do when he went to Dongcheng, so he stopped by to protect him all the way, lest the old man be killed again.

"Thanks to this divine help, the old man barely managed to regain his life.

"But because of this, the original plan was cancelled, but after arriving at a town, he sold the goods hastily, returned to the capital, returned to Luoxia City, and then went back and forth, but came to Wufangji to settle down.

"Over the years, as we've grown older, the ambitions of yesteryear seem to have vanished as if they were yesterday.

"Only the kindness of the chivalrous man in the past is unforgettable even now.

"Therefore, I heard that you are from the Escort Bureau from Luoxia City, so I came to the door rashly. In fact, I have something to ask for."

When he said this, he waved to Wan'er.

Wan'er nodded immediately, and took out a small box from the bundle behind him, and put it on the table. After opening it with his own hands, he turned the box to face Su Mo.

"Boss Escort Su, please take a look."

Li Siyun stretched out his hand as a guide.

Su Mo probed to check, and found that the box contained some silver bills, jade, jewelry and the like, and there was a booklet under these things.

There are three big characters on the booklet: "Mandarin ducks".

"This is?"

Su Mo looked up at Li Siyun.

Li Siyun sighed: "The old man has been in these five squares, but he can't leave this place. He thought that he would have to repay the kindness of that chivalrous man in his lifetime, so he has been preparing gifts for many years. But I always feel that it is not close. Now that I am in my sixtieth year, I can't stand a long journey.

"If you want to personally deliver this gift to the benefactor, it is really beyond your capabilities.

"Therefore, I implore Chief Su's bodyguard to deliver this item to the benefactor of the past."

While he was speaking, he took out two silver bills from the box, which happened to be two hundred taels of silver, and put them on the table: "This is the money for the security guard of Chief Su. how?"

Su Mo understood why the old man was so honest.

Open the thing directly, even if it is a dart test.

He shook his head and laughed for a while, but he was also a little curious: "I don't know who this thing is for? Who is the knight you mentioned?"

"It is expected that Chief Su's bodyguard should have heard of this person's name."

Li Siyun laughed: "This person is the chief escort of the Iron Blood Escort Bureau, Iron Blood Dragon Spear Yang Yizhi!"

"..."

Yang Xiaoyun, who had been sitting by the side listening quietly, couldn't drink the tea up his nose when he heard this.

The co-author just listened to it for a long time, and what I heard was the story of my own father who was a hero when he was young?

Su Mo also had a strange expression.

Li Siyun was a little puzzled: "Has Chief Su ever heard of it?"

"No... Really, it's thunderous."

Su Mo smiled and said, "But if that's the case, I can take this single dart."

Not only because this single dart was given to Yang Yizhi.

More importantly, after the other party said the three words Yang Yizhi, the system prompt came.

[Mission: Deliver Li Siyun's gift of thanks to Yang Yizhi of the Iron Blood Escort Bureau of Luoxia City. 】

【Is it accepted? 】

If he changed to other missions, he would still hesitate for the time being. After all, he was in Wufangji, they were outsiders, and Wufangji also had its own bodyguard agency. If he rashly received darts across regions, he would feel sorry for Wufangji. peers.

After all, such a cross-regional Escort for help would make the local Escort seem to be ineffective, otherwise why would it be so?

But since Yang Yizhi was involved, Su Mo felt that he had to follow up.

Yang Yizhi didn't know what mystery was going on, and the relationship with Yang Xiaoyun couldn't just drag on like this.

Both father and daughter have stubborn tempers, if I don't mediate from it, I'm afraid it will really lead to a lifelong regret.

It's just that Yang Xiaoyun was a little surprised when he looked at the roll of mandarin ducks: "This... what is it?"

"It's a curly sheet music."

Li Siyun said with a smile: "Actually, this old man doesn't know what Chief Escort Yang likes. Over the years, he has made up things casually. Seeing that the records in this mandarin duck book are unusual, that's why he rashly stayed."

"I see."

Yang Xiaoyun nodded and stopped talking.

Su Mo said with a smile: "Well, this single dart, our Ziyang Escort Bureau will accept it."

"Thank you very much!"

Li Siyun immediately led the little girl to stand up and thanked her repeatedly.

Immediately without further words, prepare to share the house with the Four Treasures, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, sign the contract, pay the dart money, this matter will be considered settled.

But Li Siyun has something to say first, I hope Su Mo and the others don't spread the word about this trip to escort, after all, money is exposed and it is easy to cause trouble.

Su Mo immediately nodded in agreement.

After seeing the two people off, Su Mo looked at Yang Xiaoyun, and Yang Xiaoyun rolled his eyes: "You always look at me...you pick up the dart yourself, and then you go to the door to deliver it yourself."

Su Mo couldn't help but smile: "That's not okay, Uncle Yang hates me to the bone, if there is no sister Xiaoyun's help, I'm afraid I will go in with my life and come out with my life."

"Who dares to manipulate you like this? You are so strong in martial arts now, even if you are...he can't beat you."

When Yang Xiaoyun said this, he was a little happy, but also a little sad.

At this time, the guys in the escort agency and the brothers in the guard team were all ready to go.

The two of them stopped talking about this matter, bid farewell to shopkeeper Cheng, and immediately led their subordinates to leave Wufangji and head south all the way back to Luoxia City.

……

……

This road is flat, there is nothing to say.

The bodyguard on this trip is even more secretive, and besides, there is not much money, so it will not attract people's attention.

For a few days in a row, there was no disturbance at all, and if you go any further, you will soon arrive at Hongyun Temple.

For Master Hongyun, Su Mo couldn't take it lightly.

Earlier, when he and Yang Xiaoyun returned from Tianmen Mountain, they delayed a while in Wufangji and bought a set of scriptures that were said to be handwritten by a certain great master as a gift. When they returned to Hongyun Temple this time, they were preparing to Send it to Master Hongyun.

Therefore, after the group arrived here, they immediately turned to go up the mountain, but when they saw Hongyun Temple from a distance, they felt that something was wrong.

"Why is this Hongyun Temple so quiet? The gate is not open, and there is no trace of fireworks?"

Yang Xiaoyun spoke in a low voice.

Su Mo said, "You stay here, I'll go in and have a look. Brothers, be careful."

"Well, you should also be careful."

Yang Xiaoyun agreed, and Su Mo directly ordered everyone to stop here, and within a short time, they had already arrived at the gate of Hongyun Temple.

The gate of Hongyun Temple was closed tightly, and the door was locked.

Su Mo was taken aback, and after thinking for a while, he still flew up and arrived in the temple.

There were no traces of fighting or blood in the temple. All the way forward, everything was organized in an orderly manner.

After passing through the main hall and entering the backyard, every door was locked.

He came to the meditation room where Master Hongyun lived, and saw a letter between the door of the meditation room.

Su Mo casually took out the deerskin gloves from his waist and put them on, and then he took them out, and saw that it was written on it: Sincerely, President Su!
"For me?"

Su Mo frowned slightly, opened the letter, and took it to him to read it at a glance.

For a while, his expression was weird.

He shook his head, flew away from Hongyun Temple, turned back, and landed on the horse.

Yang Xiaoyun looked at him: "How is it?"

"...you can see for yourself."

He casually handed the letter to Yang Xiaoyun.

Then he waved his hands to make everyone turn around and resume their journey.

Everyone didn't ask what was going on, Yang Xiaoyun was dumbfounded after reading it carefully: "Master Hongyun is taking these bandits and going to practice asceticism in the world?"

"It's not..."

Su Mo rubbed his nose: "Master Hongyun said in the letter that the reason why this group of people are stubborn is that they are not in chains, and the other is that they have never seen the suffering in the world. Reading Buddhist scriptures in vain is a failure. Only by letting them experience it for themselves can they empathize.

"This body has survived the catastrophe in the sea of ​​suffering, experienced a hundred kinds of bitterness in the world, and the world is difficult, so that they can completely eliminate the hostility in their bodies.

"In addition, along the way, he also intends to save those wicked people along the way as much as possible, and walk this road of asceticism together."

Yang Xiaoyun gasped when he heard this: "Well, isn't this going to cause trouble?"

Su Mo nodded: "This mess can't be taken lightly."

Master Hongyun's ambition is good, he wants to save the wicked, bring them out of chaos, and return to the right path.

But the problem is that there will always be people in this world who are unwilling to live under the will of others.

If Master Hongyun is only in this Hongyun Temple, gathers the four directions, and transforms them one by one, then that's all.

But there was this inexplicable ascetic road again.

Going this way, every mountain and every village may suffer.

Moreover, the distinction between good and evil, how can it be so simple?
There are so many people who wander between black and white in the rivers and lakes, how can it be black and white?
Not to mention, the Luofeng League has done a lot of murder and arson, but the land of four cities, three rivers and two bays to which the Luofeng League belongs, because under the protection of the Luofeng League, the people live and work in peace and contentment, so they don't worry about the storms in the rivers and lakes. suffering.

Can't you think of the Luofeng League?

If Master Hongyun took this group of bandit monks and ran to Luoxia City to let Wei Ruhan put down his butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately, wouldn't the trouble come out?
"How can this be good?"

Yang Xiaoyun didn't know what expression to make for a moment: "Master Hongyun has good intentions, but this action...is it too reckless?"

"Let's see."

Su Mo shook his head slightly: "No matter what you do, you can't stop it."

People like Master Hongyun, who really want to do something, will not listen to advice.

Yang Xiaoyun could only nod upon hearing this.

From here all the way to the south, I really saw the handwriting of Master Hongyun.

Occasionally, I encountered some robbers blocking the road, but there were no big bandits, and martial arts were common.

Su Mo inquired a few words casually, and the bandits almost cried out.

There is a saying that some time ago, a group of monks passed by their cottage, and they directly shaved all the heads of their families. They were dispersed.

As for them, they gathered again later.

I have encountered several 'blocking tigers' in succession, all of which are of this type, but further south, I have never encountered them.

The Heavenly Sword Token in Su Mo's arms will come in handy at this moment, no matter what bandit road tyrant is, they will all shy away when they see this Heavenly Sword Token.

I just searched for someone to inquire about the whereabouts of Master Hongyun, but I really know about it.

It is said that I heard that a group of vicious monks came from north to south, and suddenly changed directions on the way, as if they were heading east.

It wasn't until Su Mo and the others arrived at Huihe River that they could still hear people talking about it when they were crossing the river.

It is said that a group of monks suddenly arrived at the edge of the Hui River and went down the river. Wherever they passed, they were all flying around and making people feel uneasy.

For a while, it aroused the dissatisfaction of many people who were "doing business" on the edge of the Hui River, and they all planned to find this group of monks unlucky.

The result was good. After some big thieves along the river went, they not only failed to take down this group of monks, but were taken down by this group of monks and became one of them...

At this moment, this group of monks continued to grow, and they walked along the Huihe River without knowing where they were going.

There are many people above the river who already have a sense of self-danger, and it may not be what will happen in the end.

Su Mo was speechless when he heard this. This result was not beyond his expectations, but after it happened, he still felt a little absurd.

……

……

After crossing the Huihe River, it was the boundary of the Luofeng League.

This path became more and more familiar.

At this time, it was already winter, and there were snowflakes falling, and along both sides of the river, everything as far as the eye could see was a piece of silver.

It was getting late, and Su Mo and the others didn't rush on their way, so they stayed at the pier on the bank of the Hua River for a while.

The inn is not a familiar shop, but it knows the basics, so there is no need to worry too much.

In the middle of the lobby, there is a charcoal basin, and the windows are opened. The businessmen and pedestrians who have just crossed the river, of all kinds, sit on the ground around the charcoal basin, drinking and eating meat and chatting.

The arrival of Su Mo and others attracted the attention of many people, but they did not take it seriously.

After asking for a room, Su Mo led the people to sit down on the side, and asked the second brother to ask for food and drink. While waiting, someone said:
"That cloud catcher Xu Ruoshen, this time he died tragically in Dongcheng is really unexpected..."

Hearing these words, Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun felt as if someone had pinched the back of their necks, and they were shocked for a moment.
