After sending off Abbot Chen, Jiang Lu returned to the small courtyard alone.
Time flew by as he cultivated.
In the blink of an eye, it was already night.
The moon was bright and the stars were few.
The crescent moon hung in the sky, scattering a soft white glow.
Dong dong dong!
Someone slowly knocked on the door of the small courtyard.
"Hmm?"
Jiang Lu's cultivation was interrupted.
He opened his eyes involuntarily, a trace of curiosity and surprise flashing across his eyes.
This was the first time someone had come to visit him late at night since he had moved into the small courtyard at the back of the mountain.
Moreover…
And he even came to visit in person!
Who was it?
After thinking about it, Jiang Lu couldn't think of a reason.
He did not remember having any familiar friends in the temple.
Usually, the people he came into contact with were the elders of the various courtyards, or the heads of the various courtyards, as well as the highest level of the Shaolin Temple, Abbot Liaochen.
On the contrary, Jiang Lu, a disciple of the temple, had very little contact with him.
As a Son of Buddha of the current generation, Jiang Lu's status was too prominent. Under normal circumstances, no disciple would dare to take the initiative to visit.
"Could it be an elder?"
"The Elders Guild chose to visit late at night?"
Jiang Lu thought about it again and again, but he couldn't think of a rough guess.
He stepped forward.
He walked to the door of the small courtyard and slowly pulled it open.
Creak!
The door opened.
A young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old was waiting quietly by the door. His bald head was particularly eye-catching under the moonlight.
His facial features were ordinary, his face was kind, and he looked ordinary…
"Senior Brother, you are?"
Jiang Lu asked directly.
"My Dharma name is Zhen Yi. Greetings, Fozi Xuan Xin.”
The young man smiled.
The Zhen generation was higher than the Xuan generation of Jiang Lu.
However, although Jiang Lu was the junior brother of the Xuan generation, he had the illustrious status of the current Arhat. Even if he met a senior brother of higher seniority, he did not need to lower his head.
So much so that…
Other than the various deans and elders, no matter how senior the senior was, they had to show respect in front of Jiang Lu.
This was the illustrious status of the Arhat!
"Senior Brother Zhen Yi?"
Jiang Lu's eyes flashed, and he asked curiously," May I know why you're here so late at night?”
He had no impression of true intent.
Therefore, he could not figure out why the other party would choose to visit him in the middle of the night.
Why couldn't he visit during the day?
Why did he have to choose the night?
For a moment, Jiang Lu thought of many things, and he secretly became vigilant.
Of course, he hadn't forgotten.
The Changyi Song Clan was currently killing the descendants of the aristocratic families who were related to the remnants of the imperial family of the previous dynasty for the sake of the Xiang Clan of the Great Chu Empire.
All in all.
Regardless of whether his guess was correct or not, he would never go wrong if he was vigilant.
He only had one life…
If he lost his life because of a moment of carelessness, that would be the most aggrieved thing.
"Junior Brother Xuan Xin, please forgive me for coming to visit you so late at night.”
"It's only because I urgently need Junior Brother Xuan Xin's help with something that I can't wait to disturb you in the middle of the night.”
True Intent revealed an apologetic expression.
"Senior Brother Zhen Zhen, why don't you enter the sect for a chat?”
"If I can help, I will definitely do so.”
Jiang Lu nodded.
He turned his body slightly, allowing the true intent to enter the small courtyard smoothly.
"Thank you for your understanding, Junior Brother Xuan Xin."
True Intent's tone became excited.
After his true intent entered the small courtyard, Jiang Lu had always maintained a certain safe distance from the former to deal with any unexpected situations.
The strength of a third-grade martial artist gave Jiang Lu a certain amount of confidence and confidence.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had reached the third rank of the Martial Path, Jiang Lu might have immediately contacted the elders of the various courtyards living on both sides of the courtyard without saying anything.
With the strength of a third-grade martial artist, Jiang Lu was confident that he could deal with many unexpected situations.
Even if it was not good enough, it was more than enough to protect itself.
At that time.
Once the true intent in front of him started to attack, as long as Jiang Lu could protect himself, he could immediately call for help.
Presumably.
The elders of the courtyards that were closer to the small courtyards on both sides would rush to the scene at the first moment.
"Senior Martial Brother Zhen Zhen, may I ask if you need my help?”
Jiang Lu's gaze focused on the True Intent.
On the outside.
Zhen Yi was a very kind, ordinary, and ordinary temple disciple.
"Junior apprentice-brother, this matter is really difficult for senior apprentice-brother to talk about.”
As he spoke, Shin scratched his bald head, revealing an extremely awkward expression. He subconsciously approached Jiang Lu.
The distance between them kept shrinking!
"Oh, right. Senior Brother Zhenyi, do you know Changyi Song Clan?”
Jiang Lu suddenly asked.
"Uh…"
Shin's expression froze for a moment, and a faint unnatural look flashed across his eyes. However, he quickly recovered, and his face maintained its usual honest appearance.
He took a look.
His performance was almost natural and flawless.
However…
Deep in his eyes, there was a flash of unnaturalness, but Jiang Lu, who had been observing him, was able to see it with his keen senses.
Junior Brother, what Changyi Song Clan?"
"I became a monk in the early years of my life and have rarely heard of many things in the secular world. Therefore, I have never heard of the Changyi Song Clan that you mentioned.”
"Could it be that it's some famous big family?”
True Intent had a blank expression as he took the initiative to ask back.
"Senior Brother, I was rude."
"I only had a momentary feeling. I never expected that Senior Brother would actually not even hear of the reputation of one of the five famous aristocratic families of the current Great Chu Empire, the Changyi Song family.”
"The Changyi Song family is one of the five famous families in the Great Chu Dynasty. In the current dynasty, his power was as high as the sun in the sky, and he was deeply valued by the Xiang clan of the Great Chu Empire.”
"Vaguely, the power of the Changyi Song Clan is even greater than the other four great clans. They are only second to the Xiang Clan of the imperial clan of the current dynasty.”
"In the entire world, the Changyi Song family is the second most prestigious family in the current dynasty!”
Jiang Lu smiled, his expression as natural as usual.
However…
At this moment, his back was slightly cold.
After the probing just now.
Now, he was basically 100% sure.
The people sent by Changyi Song Clan…
As expected, he still came!
Even if he hid in the Shaolin Temple silently, he would still be unable to escape the claws of the Changyi Song family!
