Chapter 10 – Shadow Sank Into The Cold River

The carriage speedily entered a Taoist te suppressed his curiosity to take a peek on ould be co in the shadowy lane, he waited patiently

Sure enough, in less than the time needed to drink half a cup of hot tea later, two shadows separately ca across the street, and ju street, which, in this quiet night, was quite deserted Surprisingly, it oat their swift shenfa, Kou Zhong knew that their

The two Taoist priests looked at each other and laughed One of thees and disadvantages During the day, it isto skiht, it is easy to see if there is anybody following the track”

Kou Zhong was shocked inwardly Hastily crouching down, he stuck his ear to the ground, and was able to faintly caught the sound of hoof beats in the distance ‘Such a close call!’ he cried inwardly Winding around the two Taoist priests, he continued to follow

This was certainly a siate of the Taoist teate, plus they had watch behind Fortunately these two demon Taoists were so pleased that they lost their senses and thus revealed their foundation, hence Kou Zhong came to see the truth

He had just leaped over the roof of a house when the alar’s heart Quickly he crouched down and stayed still, he cried inwardly that he was almost fooled

He recalled that all the dele one was not a wily old fox, a Jianghu veteran They jumped down to the street and talked just like that, plus the first remark they made already revealed their secret, it si tricks If Kou Zhong hastily chase after the carriage, he would certainly fall into their trap

Moreover, the other party ht, since there was no other vehicles and horses around, the sound of hoof beats could be easily detected; how could they not think of any countere with the horses’ hoofs wrapped in cloth, or perhaps abandoning the carriage altogether and going in foot Any one of these methods could be used to easily ski secretly wiped his cold sweat; before his eyes was clearly a trap that old deainst the ene was nearly fooled

The two Taoist priests soared into the air and disappeared behind the wall of the Taoist te watched with rapt attention and concentrated will, while a around hiolden beaht breeze, none could escape his elevated-ht thissleeves approaching swiftly frohtest hesitation Kou Zhong leaped down to the street and like a ghost he fleard the Taoist te replied, “Dashi+’s proposal, please forgive Xu Ziling for not being able to accept”

With sole called one of the many names of Buddha in low voice, he spoke softly, “shi+zhu only has the way eye and intelligent root [not sure, perhaps Buddhist terh, and unable to let go?”

Shrugging his shoulders, Xu Ziling replied, “Who can see through? Who can let it go? What I ao, I’ll stay whenever I want to stay, not being subjected to left and right If by seeing through and letting it go ic in that?”

A hint of s’s mouth; he spoke softly, “No attachment in life, no fear in death, no Buddha to look for, no de of freedom, which can be obtained from one’s own heart Not only freedom does not have any appearance, it also has no naly attached to freedo and complicated it will be, reason and mental state beco, no Buddha is in fact Buddha”

Listening to that, Xu Ziling’s eyebroere greatly knitted; he could no longer say that Liao Kong’s words ithout reason Sighing, he said, “Xu Ziling is just a piece of obstinate rock, Dashi+ will only waste your ti I will definitely not follow Dashi+ back to the Chanyuan Each of us has our own attachment; it seems to me that in the end we must usesaid, “Only the body is solid and dense, everything else appears in the dust Does shi+zhu understand this saying?”

Sic, I will have to trouble Dashi+ to explain”

Liao Kong slowly came near; he said with a s blankly, Xu Ziling said, “Are we going to Jingnian Chanyuan?”

Liao Kong laughed, but did not answer; he si had no choice but to walk side by side with him He heard this holy monk, who had attained the Way, said, “Only the body is solid and dense is the heart of Buddhism All s’ body, that is, the heart is Buddha, and this Buddha’s heart is nowreleased into the world during birth, strong attach is in every cun of the heart As long as shi+zhu is willing to change your ifts of jade and silk shi+zhu, what do you think?”

Xu Ziling carefully pondered his advice, i to himself irresolutely for half a day, he turned to face the brushi+ng cold wind of the long street, and spoke indifferently, “The dispute in the world is because the heart of the people is different and it grows I understand Dashi+’s position, but Dashi+ should understandbe one who rush indiscri led hinificent monastery, surrounded all around by old trees On the other side of the plaza was the Hall of Great Strength [low of lantern lights

Xu Ziling halted his steps, with his back leaning against the h his spirited perception far surpassed ordinary person, upon self-examination, he realized that he had no confidence to determine whether shi+ Feixuan and the Four Great Holy Monks were hiding inside the teilance

Liao Kong continued walking for tenin the middle of the plaza, and only then did he turn around About three paces behind hih He did not knoho lighted two incense sticks on the stove, but the s in spirals, which was quickly dispersed by the cold wind

The roof of the temple hall reflected the radiance of the htly The entire te up the impression of a secluded, cold and so shook the small copper [sic] bell in his hand; he spoke with soleoose cross over the vast sky, shadow sank into the cold river Although the wild goose has no intention to leave its trace, the water also lack the intention to sink the shadoever, the wild goose crossing over and the shadow sinking is a widely known fact Have Xu shi+zhu given any thought to the co understood clearly why shi+ Feixuan did not spare any effort in preventing the for a treasure hunt What she was afraid of was not whether the two boys could transport the treasure out, because that was practically impossible She orried that the treasure would fall into Li Jiancheng’s hands Currently Li Jiancheng’s prestige was greatly rising, and this was unfavorable to Li shi+ into separate factions and fighting each other

Xu Ziling wanted veryto acco that Kou Zhong would sound out the difficulties and retreat to avoid defeat [idio over the world, but in the end he did not say anything

Reviewing his encounter with Shen Luoyan just now, Xu Ziling recalled his understanding and what he learned from experience about illusion and reality; he spoke heavily, “Since Miss shi+’s immortal self has arrived, why not co close to the wall, Kou Zhong slipped into the tree garden of the Taoist te swiftly, he rounded a hexagonal pavilion Sweeping his gaze around, he could not help groaning inwardly

This place was the flower garden on the left side of the Taoist te water, the pavilion [亭台] and the water pavilion [水榭] were furnished, the decoration elegant, but the vegetation was sparse ba place

In his quick wit, Kou Zhong flashed to the bridge and sube He had just hidden hi wind above; so into the Taoist te, this was a gaht nobody followed, and he took advantage of this ap

Although his senses were not as sensitive as Xu Ziling’s, he had enough confidence that he would be able to sense whether the enemy has detected his presence or not It appeared that for the ti, he was quite successful

The person who had just entered the templesure that nobody would follow their track His speed was outstanding; even Kou Zhong had to admit that he was inferior to this person Perhaps it was so had tried to slip in after they arrived, his risk would be elevatedslowly rose up to the surface of the water and concentrated his power into his ears The voice of the person in the te Jiaojiao’s sweet voice was heard froe! Where the hell are those three Godda ca here fro Jiaojiao and not Pi Chen’s Old Deuise If he had known earlier, he would havethe way to kill this female demon

Another fe’s character, in no ill he accept defeat, hence Da Xiaojie [big ht not want to let go and would try to assassinate Pi Chen shi+shu [martial uncle] But now evidently he has not pursued over; it is indeed unlike his usual style”

Kou Zhong again wiped his cold sweat, while crying inwardly that Fe was so easy to see through; no wonder he was al The speaker was Yin Gui Pai elder Wen Caiting Her appearance in this place reallyhappy, because now he knew for sure that his speculation that Rong Fengxiang and Yin Gui Pai were in cahoots was correct

This moment, Zhu Yuyan’s voice was heard, “Just consider the the execution of our plan, our ti important that they si has already agreed to cooperate with us; fros, it will still be difficult to fly”

Rong Jiaojiao said, “But wang shi+chong’s condition is that we have to wait until they send Tuli off before we make our move to deal with them, would shi+zun [revered master] think this condition is acceptable?”

Inwardly, Kou Zhong was greatly shaken; he did not know that Rong Jiaojiao was another disciple of Zhu Yuyan’s In this case, Laojun Guan has always been working together with Yin Gui Pai He could not help feeling so lucky that he came here and overheard such an important and confidential infor to the bones even entle and lovely voice ca is our last chance to capture those two boys That old fox wang shi+chong is too unreliable, after all, he is an outsider, plus he has ht is that as soon as they expose their whereabouts, ill i our s shi+zun, pleasesucked a mouthful of cold air, he nearly sank back to the bottom of the creek

Just Zhu Yuyan, one person, was enough put him in order with plenty of leftover, not toXiu’ Pi Shouxuan said, “Wan’er’s remark is not without any reason While currently the two boys are still stupid enough not to know that we have arrived at the Eastern Capital, we’ll kill them while they are unprepared If aited for shi+ Feixuan and those four big donkeys [Buddhist )] to rush over, the situation will become even more co his original voice, said, “Ay! What I aet involved in those two kids’ affair, which putJiaojiao’s tender voice said, “Now they already killed Ke Feng shi+shu, how could the situation be the sa, he has no choice but to speak about the practices between our two schools”

Letting out a cold snort, Zhu Yuyan said, “Dao Xiong [brother Taoist], don’t worry, if shi+ Zhixuan wants to blame you, let him blame me, Zhu Yuyan, first! He does as he pleasesSheli [holy relics] is the object that I want, he still dares to fight over it with ain; obviously because his s toward shi+ Zhixuan was too deep that he was still worried and sick at heart

Although the monastery was full of demonic school’s martial art masters, but perhaps only Zhu Yuyan and Wanwan, two persons ould be able to fight against shi+ Zhixuan for a day, more or less

Wanwan said, “The assassination of Ke Feng shi+shu, other than those three kids, there was another person involved If we could find out who this person is, perhaps we could find their hiding place”

I’s scalp went numb; inwardly he swore and curse Wanwan, this despicable feriuess Before the incident, Fu Qian’s man reserved a private room on the upper level of the south hall, but he did not show up From this, I obtained clues But in thisThis ent, and martial art skill, all are deep and immeasurable The martial art masters under his command are as numerous as the clouds And then there are those three kids They are absolutely not easy to deal with If we fail to subdue the shi+chong instead”

Zhu Yuyan said, “Dao’er [Taoist]shi+chong and I still have to use each other; if Zhu Zunzhe [honored sir/madam] has no objection, I believe it would be best to be a bit patient for the ti, to wait until Tuli leaves toainst theuessed the subtle relationshi+p betang shi+chong and us”

Zhu Yuyan , “We will of course respect Dao Xiong’s opinion; let’s do it this way! We’ll ain tomorrow to discuss the details of this operation”

Wanwan let out a light sigh; lowering her voice, she said, “Ay! shi+zun and Zongzhu [head of a clan/school]too much, but Wan’er’s heart is suddenly filled with oood chance that theyand Xu Ziling have never had any good return; Li Mi is the zhu’s difficulty, but as long as Zongzhu points out to wang shi+chong that there is great possibility that they already see through his conspiracy, perhaps wang shi+chong would be willing to change hisrained curses on her again in his heart; since clearly they had no way out, the only way right noas to inform Fu Qian as soon as possible, and then all of them would have to flee in defeat

Pi Chen was silent for aheavily, “What Wan’er said is not without any reason Very well! I will i to lay out the pros and cons thoroughly; we’ll see whether we can ’s spirit was greatly aroused; to assassinate Pi Chen, this would be one in a thousand years’ good opportunity
