Chapter 127 Meeting at Night in an Ancient Temple on a Deserted Mountain

The rain poured down and the wind howled.

At that time, the sky was getting dark, and within a hundred miles, there was only a bonfire rising in a dilapidated ancient temple.

"Teacher, the meat is roasted." Pang Hong handed the roasted meat to Pei Xuanjing.

Pei Xuanjing shook his head, "You eat first and don't worry about me."

Pang Hong nodded and ate hungrily. Obviously, this journey also made him very hungry.

Pei Xuanjing handed over the water bag beside him, "Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry."

"Thank you, teacher." Pang Hong swallowed the meat and took the water bag.

Bang!

The door of the ancient temple was pushed open, and two young men, a man and a woman, walked in.

The two people, whose clothes were soaked by the rain, saw the two people in the ancient temple. They were startled for a moment. The young man clasped his fists and said, "My roommate and I encountered rain on the road. We wanted to use this to avoid the rain and make it easier to travel."

Pei Xuanjing waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, we are not the owners of this place. This place has long been dilapidated and deserted, it's just that we came earlier."

"Thank you." The young man said thank you and took the girl behind him to another place in the hall.

This ancient temple is not big, with only one main hall, and an unknown statue of an unknown god is enshrined in the center. The cobwebs are condensed, and it seems to have been dilapidated for a long time.

The two sat down and also found some wood to light a bonfire, using the light of the fire to ward off the cold.

However, the girl glanced at Pang Hong who was enjoying his meal from time to time, and then looked at the dry food in his hand, which was obviously difficult to swallow.

"Teacher?" Pang Hong is young but has a very discerning eye.

Pei Xuanjing smiled and said, "Give it if you want. It's your decision."

Pang Hong nodded, separated a portion of the roasted venison with a dagger, and walked over.

"Brothers and sisters, if you don't mind it, you can use some of this."

The young man had an embarrassed look on his face, but after looking at his sister who was staring at the meat and swallowing secretly, he could only accept it shamelessly: "Thank you, little brother."

"It's okay. We can't finish the meal anyway, so you don't mind." Pang Hong smiled.

Waiting for Pang Hong to turn back, Pei Xuanjing looked at the brother and sister who started eating the deer meat without any doubt, and shook his head secretly, confirming his thoughts even more.

Originally, when he looked at the two of them, he felt that they were a little immature, but now that he saw the other eating the venison without any doubt, he knew that these two were definitely fledglings.

Generally speaking, when walking in rivers and lakes, one must be somewhat wary of others, especially in these barren mountains and wild mountains. How can one accept food from others at will?

Pei Xuanjing once again closed his eyes to rest and comprehend the martial arts.

But not long after, he heard rapid footsteps.

The expressions of the young man and the girl immediately changed. The young man swallowed the meat and did not bother to wipe his hands. He straightened his back and put his hand on the hilt of the sword.

"Quick, go hide."

A panicked look appeared on the girl's face, and she quickly drew her sword, carefully hiding behind the thick pillar, and looked at the temple door nervously.

"Teacher?" Pang Hong whispered.

Pei Xuanjing opened his eyes, shook his head at Pang Hong, and closed his eyes again, seemingly unmoved.

Seeing Pei Xuanjing sitting as firm as a mountain, the tension in Pang Hong's heart disappeared.

In his eyes, the teacher is everything. As long as Pei Xuanjing remains unmoved, he is not worried at all.

The young man glanced at the master and apprentice in surprise, but when he heard the footsteps approaching, he didn't care to say anything.

Bang!

The temple door was violently pushed open, and a mountain breeze rushed in.

Five burly men walked in. Each of these men was carrying a weapon. Their steps were steady and their bodies were well-proportioned. At first glance, they were accomplished martial arts masters.

"Brother, there is someone inside." The leading man said to the big man walking at the end.

The man walked to the front in a few steps, glanced at Master Pei Xuanjing, who was motionless, and then at the nervous young man, and felt understanding.

"A few of you, I encountered a sudden rain at night and took this opportunity to take shelter. I hope you will forgive me."

The young man glanced at Pei Xuanjing, who was indifferent, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "It doesn't matter, we are not the owners of this place. This place has long been dilapidated and deserted, it's just that we came earlier."

He actually repeated what Pei Xuanjing said just now.

"Thank you." The man called Big Brother clasped his fists and occupied an open space with the other three people.

The girl also quietly walked out from behind the statue and leaned closely beside her brother.

It was very quiet in the silent hall, except for the sound of burning firewood and the heavy rain outside the temple.

Five big men gathered around and whispered something.

While speaking, he kept looking at the other five people in the temple.

Suddenly, the man who entered first stood up and walked directly in the direction of Pei Xuanjing and the others.

"Little brother, my brothers have been running away all day. Can you share some of your meat with us?" He said to Pang Hong.

"No, there's only so much left, and the teacher hasn't eaten yet?" Pang Hong refused his request.

The big man looked at the other party, then looked at Pei Xuanjing: "This brother?"

"No!" Pei Xuanjing uttered two words without even opening his eyes.

"Yeah!" The big man was used to being domineering. Being rejected like this by Pei Xuanjing, he found it difficult to step down and looked angry.

As if sensing the other party's anger, Pei Xuanjing opened his eyes and looked at him calmly.

Being stared at by Pei Xuanjing's calm eyes, the big man felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast. His whole body tensed up, and a chill could not help but rise behind his back.

"Old Four, come back!" the leading man shouted.

He stood up and bowed to Pei Xuanjing: "Sorry, brother."

After that, he pulled Old Four away.

"This man's strength is unpredictable, don't cause trouble." He whispered in Old Four's ear.

Pei Xuanjing looked at the two, said nothing, and closed his eyes again.

Although the storm dissipated into nothingness, the atmosphere in the hall became more weird.

Especially the man called Old Four, who glanced at Pei Xuanjing and the others from time to time.

Creak!

The temple door was pushed open again, and a man and a woman walked in slowly.

Pei Xuanjing's face darkened. Obviously, the appearance of these two people was beyond his expectations. Originally, with his perception, anyone who arrived within a hundred feet of the temple could predict it.

But now, he noticed this man and woman almost when they arrived at the door.

Obviously, the strength of these two people was far beyond expectations.

The man was about forty years old, dressed in white, elegant and calm, as if he was a scholar who was better than a warrior.

The woman looked to be in her twenties, wearing a palace skirt and white embroidered shoes, giving people a holy and flawless temperament.

You know, it was raining outside the temple, but the two of them walked in so neatly, as if they were not affected at all.

When they saw the man and the woman coming in, the five burly men changed their faces, each holding a weapon in their hands, looking at them vigilantly.

"Hand over the things, I can spare your lives." The woman in the palace skirt said lightly, not caring about the five people's vigilance.
