Chapter 14 Night visit to the ancient pagoda
At dusk, everyone came to the ancient temple.
A young monk wearing novice robes received everyone and arranged two private rooms for several people.
"Little Master, is there anything to do or see in this ancient temple of yours?"
Li You took advantage of the fact that it was still dark and carefully observed the surroundings, especially the ancient tower at the other end, which attracted his attention.
"Donor! Our temple is just a place for monks to practice. There is nothing to play or visit. You'd better have a good rest!" the young monk turned around and replied.
"Okay, thank you!" Li You nodded and thanked.
Because it was getting late, everyone did not eat the vegetarian meal in the cafeteria. Instead, they chose to let a young monk help bring the vegetarian meal to the room.
twenty minutes later
"This vegetarian meal is really good. The rice porridge is sweet and fragrant, and the vegetarian buns are also particularly delicious. They seem to contain some wild vegetables, but they don't have that bitter taste."
Li You finished his meal and commented a little.
"Yeah!" Shangguan Zisu also drank a large bowl and nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, let's sit there for a while while I go out for a walk." Li You stood up from his seat and planned to go out.
"It's raining outside and it's dark. What are you doing there?" Shangguan Zisu reached out and grabbed Li You's sleeves.
"Oh, don't worry, I'm just wandering around this temple. Nothing will happen." Li You patted Shangguan Zisu's hand gently, broke away slightly, and then walked out of the door.
At this time, it was completely dark, and it was still raining hazy outside. There was no light in the whole temple, and it looked extremely lonely and desolate.
Li You didn't understand why Buddhist places gave him such a feeling, but he had a mission, so he still had to visit everywhere.
His main goal when he came out was the ancient pagoda.
There is nothing to see in the whole temple. It is basically a temple for various gods and Buddhas. The only thing that feels a bit mysterious is the tower.
No matter what, you have to go for a walk.
Li You came to the foot of the pagoda and looked up.
Now the tower must be about ten meters high, with a total of about seven or eight floors.
He walked in and took a closer look and found that the door at the bottom was locked.
In desperation, he had no choice but to come out again.
The internal force in the body was running, and he kicked the ground with his left foot, and the whole person flew directly up.
In this world, internal strength is almost nonexistent, and few people can develop it.
The reason why Li You has such power is because of the Nine Yang Manual in his previous life.
However, the overall feeling of Jiuyang's internal energy in this life is not as good as in the previous life.
Being able to perform Qing Gong is already considered extraordinary.
It's almost impossible to do anything else.
But it doesn't matter, one of the rewards he got for signing up in this life is the power of overlord.
This thing is much easier to use than the internal force in the previous life.
After a few steps, Li You used his strength to reach the top of the tower.
Immediately after exerting force on his waist, his body turned and hung upside down on the suspension beam.
Pushing open the window, he turned over and jumped in.
As soon as we entered, a wet and musty smell hit us.
Li You couldn't help covering his mouth and nose, frowning slightly, and gently waved his hand in front of his face.
"How long has it been since this thing was cleaned? It's so dirty and messy."
Li You complained a few words, then walked forward and took out a fire stick from his chest pocket.
He looked around and found a candle nearby, so he stepped forward and lit it.
The light brought by a candle is not much, but at least it is better than total darkness.
Li You carefully rummaged around this floor, searching every bookshelf, but could not find the treasure map.
The rain outside the tower gradually became heavier and heavier.
Li You was sure that there wasn't one on the top floor, so he planned to go downstairs to look for it.
Find a few floors, if you can't find it, we'll talk about it tomorrow.
As soon as Li You came down the stairs, he noticed something was wrong.
Walk a few steps to the next floor.
His ears moved slightly and he listened carefully to everything around him.
He heard someone else breathing.
This person should know some kung fu, and his martial arts are pretty good, but he is a bit outclassed in front of Li You.
Li You took a few steps forward and came to the middle position. Then he tilted his head to the right and threw out three silver needles, stabbing them straight into the screen on the right.
"Uhhh!!!"
A muffled groan came from the screen.
Li You quickly stepped forward and struck out with his palm. The screen suddenly cracked and exploded. Hidden inside was a man wearing white clothes and protecting his whole body.
Judging from his figure, he should be a man.
The man originally wanted to run away, but Li You kicked the table nearby, and the wooden table rushed towards the man instantly.
The man's back was hit hard, and the wooden table was shattered by the powerful force.
The man suddenly fell to the ground and fell.
Li You walked slowly to the man's side.
He reached out and pulled off the white cloth on his head.
"Huh! He's still a monk! You're stealing from him, little monk." Li You had no intention of hurting him, and he didn't throw the silver needle at his critical point.
The biggest injury was the wooden table being smashed, and his back must be swollen now.
"Tell me, where did you hide the treasure map? If I came to find you in person tomorrow, I'm afraid the end would be a bit miserable."
"You're still so young, right? Why bother?"
Li You observed that this young monk should be about the same age as himself.
The little monk's eyes suddenly became fierce, he turned around and swung a palm towards Li You.
Li You jumped back and dodged the blow.
"You're still carrying out a sneak attack!"
Li You smiled faintly, clenched his fists slightly, and his eyes gradually became fierce.
If you give him a chance and it doesn't work, there's nothing you can do about it.
The little monk stood up, clenched his fists, and attacked Li You.
Li You didn't intend to dodge, he clenched his left fist tightly, stood on the spot, and swung out violently.
The two fist bumped together.
With a scream, the monk immediately flew backwards, and after landing on the ground, he held his right hand tightly.
His right hand was shaking non-stop, and in the dim light it was difficult to see what was going on, but most of the fingers on his right hand were probably broken.
Li You stepped forward and punched out.
The monk quickly kicked off the ground and turned around to avoid it.
Li You seized the gap and held his left hand.
He pulled himself forward, and then his whole body jumped back.
The monk fell heavily to the ground, and his left hand was tightly clamped by Li You.
"I'll give you another chance. You will show up here. At least you should know something."
"Tell me everything you know, otherwise it won't be that easy next time."
The young monk's delicate and tender face had already been twisted together. His expression was very painful. He stared at Li You fiercely and cursed loudly:
"You lackeys of the emperor, it's because of you that we are allowed to stay here."
"You still want to know the treasure map? Dream on!"
"Alas!" Li You shook his head and then said:
"I've given you a chance, you have to seize it."
"If you can't control it, then there's nothing I can do about it."
Li You was heartbroken and pulled hard with his hand, and the monk's left arm suddenly made a clicking sound.
"ah!!!"
