Chapter 139 White Dragon Temple

On the second day, the weather was clear and cloudless, which was considered a good weather for traveling.

Lin Dong was riding a demon horse with hooves like fire.

There were two suitcases hanging on Piehuo's body, one fat and one thin. Inside the fat one was a piercing three-pointed gun, and inside the thin one was a Miao knife.

But Ma Xinyi is much simpler, with a big black horse under his crotch and a big black gun on his back.

The two argued for a while, and in the end they followed Lin Dong's opinion and walked along the official road, passing through various post stations, such a route into Beijing.

Ma Xinyi actually wanted to take the water route, along the Grand Canal, across the Yangtze River section, to the capital directly, and the whole journey took eight to ten days.

However, Lin Dong rejected this proposal.

In the rivers, lakes and seas, Lin Dong's battle strength is at least [-]% off. Since he agreed to escort the saintess of the White Lotus Sect, ambushes are indispensable on the way, and the water route will be in various ports. The goal is too clear, so Lin Dong insisted on going. overland.

Of course, Lin Dong's proposal was that the old horse would go by water, go by land by himself, and meet up outside the capital at the end.

However, it was also rejected by the old horse.

"I am your elder brother. No matter what happens, I will stand by your side unconditionally. This is called a brother. There are two brothers in one life. Even if you want to rebel, I will stand by you."

Ma Xinyi spoke righteously and said that he would not be separated from Lin Dong.

In fact, there are some thoughts hidden, White Lotus Sect, what is that?
That's a traitor.

It's fine if he doesn't know, but when he understood that Lin Dong's purpose of entering Beijing this time was to protect the saintess of the White Lotus Sect, Ma Xinyi could be said to have pressed the detonator on his belly button—his heart skipped a beat.

The first is fear, such a good brother, the thug of No. [-] Tianzi will be limped by the White Lotus Sect, cheated away, that is an unbearable loss.

The second is worry.

Lin Dong's indistinct connection with the White Lotus Sect would involve the officials behind him, and eventually bring troubles to himself. As far as the current bond between the two is concerned, it is true that they are grasshoppers on the same line.

If it was Ma Xinyi's idea, he could directly dispatch hundreds of knives and axes to ambush at the location agreed with the White Lotus Sect, and then capture the saint in one fell swoop and take her to the capital as a stepping stone on his official road.

However, Lin Dong's character was so messed up that he really didn't dare to do this. It was absolutely not worth it to cause brothers to break up for a mere White Lotus Sect.

The Taiping Army is still alive, and if the military general with the most famous name in the sky calls it, it is like a key to knock into the gate of the military aircraft.

Therefore, Lao Ma will go with Lin Dong no matter what.

As for why Lin Dong wanted to tell the story of the White Lotus Sect, the reason was simple. He and Ma Xinyi's plan was to keep things simple. The two of them set out on the road without any entourage and tried to reach the capital as quickly as possible.

But if people from the White Lotus Sect join in midway, Ma Xinyi will be more thoughtful, and he is determined not to hide it. It is better to clarify the whole thing from the beginning, so as not to make brothers feel alienated.

Trust has always been an extremely precious thing. If you lied once, everyone will be wary of each other in the future. In the end, brothers will no longer be brothers, and it is possible to draw swords against each other.

How many people in this world can pass the threshold of interest.

For example, if you kill Ma Xinyi, can you exchange for a blue affix?Lin Dong will definitely be tempted... If Lin Dong is killed, Ma Xinyi will be able to directly become a minister, and if the governor of Zhili is replaced, Lao Ma will definitely not show mercy.

In terms of land, normally speaking, if there is no Taiping Army, they usually go to Suzhou Prefecture, transfer to Jingkou, pass Yangxu, and then enter the capital from Jeju Prefecture, cross Hengshui Baoding and other places.

The problem is that along the way, there are some areas where long hair blocks the road. The two brothers Lin Dong and Ma Xinyi specially selected some mountain roads to walk around.

The place where Lin Dong and Lu Ping agreed to meet was Bailong Temple.

After leaving Suzhou Mansion, a stronghold of the White Lotus Sect is located on the hillside of Gange Mountain, so it is very convenient and easy to find.

"Walking along the official road, if you see a mountain peak that looks like a spear stuck upside down into the soil, it proves that you have found a place."

Shopkeeper Xiao Lu's words still rang in his ears.

After looking around along the official road, Lin Dong really found the place.

"Brother, do you want to wait for me here? I have to go up."

Lin Dong stretched out his hand and pointed.

Ma Xinyi looked in the direction of his finger. It was a mountain with strange shapes and many strange rocks. From a distance, you could see a pool of clear springs leaking from the mountain, and a plank road of more than [-] meters dangling between the peaks.

Behind the plank road, you can roughly see a palm-sized Taoist temple with a faint outline.

The old horse changed his mind, tied the mount to the tree in a calm manner, and said with a smile: "It's all here, let's go in and have a look. The witch of the White Lotus Sect is so cunning, don't be fooled by others, and help They count money."

"Hey, what are you going to do? I'm going to meet my little lover, so you're going too? Brother, you're here to watch the horses, and I'll come whenever I go."

Lin Dong said with disgust.

Then, without waiting for the old horse to react, his figure was so swift that he disappeared in a flash.

Ma Xinyi shook his head helplessly as he watched the figure disappearing into the forest.

This so-called Gange Peak is steep and steep, but at the foot of the mountain, it can be said that there is a stream in front and a lake the size of a palm in the back. There are many fertile fields on the left, and there are villages attached to it. It is a standard Jiangnan fish and rice water town.

True Taoists emphasize the unity of man and nature, and Taoism follows nature. Taoist temples are generally built on steep mountains, so that Taoists can better understand the mysteries of heaven and earth.

This is the case with the Bailongguan lineage.

The White Lotus Sect pays attention to the integration of the three religions, and it is also very reasonable to regard the Taoist temple as its base.

Lin Dong looked at the dense forest in front of him. The dense leaves obscured his sight.

He remembered that when he was going down the mountain, he calculated the path, walked through the woods, and went straight up the mountain road. It should be the plank road, and behind the plank road is the White Dragon Temple, but... the dead breath, too quiet.

One step into the forest, the whole forest seems to have just woken up.

Something is wrong!
Lin Dong's nose twitched slightly, and the wind passing through the leaves brought a bloody smell.

For a veteran on the battlefield like him, this smell is too familiar and sensitive.

Lin Dong raised his eyebrows, rubbed his fists, and rushed in. Whether it was a thin beauty with a miao knife or a three-pointed gun with a piercing armor, he didn't bring it with him, but he was needed in this world. There really aren't many opponents that can be dealt with only by swords and guns, and they will never exceed the number of palms.

"This is?"

On the slender and luxuriant branch, there is a dead body wearing rags and patchwork clothes upside down.

It's Daoji, it must be a Taoist in Bailongguan, and there has been a shocking change in Xiaolu's shopkeeper.

The blood-stained emerald leaves swayed in the breeze, the size of a palm, like red triangular flags shaking one after another, and they all silently pointed in one direction.

Lin Dong's eyesight was excellent, and he could clearly see the blood stubble emerging from the twigs passing through the corpse.

He could even distinguish the traces of the clear blood lines flowing on the branches.

That blood-red branch seemed to be running through the veins of the human body.

As for corpses like Taoist Bai Yiyi, at a glance, there are no less than a dozen corpses, and they are all newly dead.

It is conceivable that a bloody battle must have erupted in this forest not long ago.

It's a pity that the Bailian Saintess lineage lost.

"So, does this mean that you want to appear as the savior of the White Lotus Sect?"

The thought in my heart flashed away.

Lin Dong was planning to step forward to investigate the specific situation of the corpse, for example, what kind of weapon killed the other party?
Whether it was a one-hit kill or a fierce battle, these should be worth exploring.

His hands just touched the corpse.

Click, a light sound.

Next.

There was a wind passing through the forest, and it seemed that there was a ghost hiding in the forest crying. Lin Dong frowned tightly, listening to the soft sobbing in the wind.

"Grass, it's an enemy attack!"

He fell back on his back, stretched out his hand, and grabbed a long iron arrow. The tip of the arrow was less than a foot away from the nose, and the arrow feathers were still trembling.

The next moment, whoosh, whoosh, the sound of opening strings sounded all over the woods.

click!
The arrow shaft was broken casually, and the next moment, his body was suddenly pulled up to a height of ten feet. The murderous aura on Lin Dong's body was like a column of wolf smoke rising from the dense forest.

The difference from before is that after the transformation this time, the clothes were not torn anymore, Yin Yang Mino seemed to be able to sense his physique, and the special fabric stretched to cover his body, without any inappropriateness.

The rain of arrows was thrown out like a rainstorm, and the sound of howling piercing through the sky was extremely terrifying.

The branches and fat leaves of the trees were knocked down by clusters of arrows.

The branches flew, the mud splashed, the huge footprints crushed the fallen leaves, and the huge black shadow flew towards the direction of the arrow, killing it.

The whole mountain range seemed to tremble.

The demon lord descended from the sky, the fierce god in the world, was not built.

Whoosh!
A spiral arrow with an arrow pattern pierced hard into the huge footprints in the soil, and the splashed earth and rocks hit Lin Dong's raised ankle. There were many enemies shooting arrows, but only those who could really cause damage to Lin Dong one.

It is the man who uses the spiral arrow.

The swirling of the soil, the smell of blood, and some kind of fragrance brought by the falling leaves linger on the tip of the nose.

A wicked smile appeared on Lin Dong's face.

"Got you!"

His gaze pierced through the flying leaves, past the flying arrows, and looked at the mountain road at the end of the dense forest.
