Chapter 208: Be friends or enemies?
Liu Henghu was having a headache just now.
This Liu Changqing, no matter what he has committed before, he is now a member of Jianfeng Temple and has been a convert for many years.
Let him handle it, how will he handle it?
It is impossible for him to kill someone directly.
But releasing such a person would be a disaster. After much deliberation, it is best to lock him up.
It is best to lock him up until he dies.
After all, this Liu Changqing is already over ninety years old and will not live for more than a few years even if he thinks about it.
I just heard from Chen Yang that Liu Changqing would wake up briefly at night, so Liu Henghu thought about meeting him again at night.

——
Open the system panel.
Chen Yang looked at his information, and his eyes fell on the [Plan of the Bamianshan Underground Palace], looking for an opportunity to study it.
"Master! Master Longdeng!"
At this moment, a hurried shout came from outside.
Long Deng stood up and walked out.
A monk of about forty years old stood outside and said anxiously, "Master, someone ran into the cave of the Vajra Hall!"
"What?"
Long Deng was startled, "Didn't I ask you to keep it safe?"
"I, I..."
The monk's hands and feet were in a panic and his speech was incoherent.
Everyone ignored it and hurriedly walked to the Vajra Hall.
Jianfeng Temple is not big, just turn two corners and you will reach the Diamond Hall.
At this time, there were two monks in their fifties standing guard at the entrance of the cave.
They stuck their heads and looked inside, but no one dared to go down.
Seeing Long Deng and others approaching, the two people quickly stood up straight.
One of them said, "A woman just appeared out of nowhere and ran down while we were not prepared..."
"Female?"
Several people were stunned.
Are there women in the temple?
Long Deng's expression was gloomy and uncertain. There might be some girl in the temple, and most likely she was a tourist who didn't know the truth or had ulterior motives.
Although he had already ordered the temple to be closed, there was no guarantee that someone would find a place to hide it secretly.
He looked at Liu Henghu.
Liu Henghu said to Chen Yang, "Xiaoyang, let's go down and the others will guard outside!"
Chen Yang nodded slightly.
Think about the existence below. If others go down, they will only be a drag. If something happens, they will not be able to take care of it.
At this moment, the two of them entered the cave one after another.
......
——
The cave is still cold and cold.
The two walked in tandem, and the surroundings were very quiet, so quiet that they could almost hear each other's heartbeats.
They had already been here before, so they were familiar with the journey and walked directly to the stone chamber where Liu Changqing was imprisoned.
At this time, both of them had a bad premonition.
What a coincidence, someone suddenly broke into the cave at this time. Is this a coincidence?
How could such a coincidence happen?
Soon, they came to the stone room.
What they saw made their hearts tighten.
The stone room is empty. Where is the half-figure?
The iron chains on the wall were cut off artificially and dragged quietly on the ground. The air was still filled with a pungent stench.
Run away?
The two realized something was wrong and immediately retreated from the stone room.
“Hmph!”
From the shadow around the corner, a black figure suddenly jumped out, like a wild wolf, rushing towards the two of them.
Liu Henghu bore the brunt and punched the black figure.
“Bang!”
With a muffled sound, Liu Henghu took a few steps back.
At the same time, another figure flashed out of the darkness and quickly stepped in front of Chen Yang.
By the light of the flashlight, Chen Yang could probably see clearly.
It’s a woman.
A young woman.
She held a dagger in her hand and without saying a word, she stabbed Chen Yang in the chest.
The attack was unusually ruthless.
Chen Yang frowned slightly, almost instinctively, the butcher knife appeared in his hand, and he slashed it with one blow.
“Cang!”
Chen Yang’s strength is beyond compare to the opponent. Gold and iron intersect, and a trace of fire flashes.
The dagger in the man's hand was knocked away.
Chen Yang struck her with a backhand knife.
Hey!
“Ah!”
I heard a scream coming from the darkness.
The woman's scream was unusually sharp and harsh.
At this time, the dark figure next to him rushed towards Chen Yang.
The four eyes met, a pair of scarlet eyes like wild beasts.
Liu Changqing!
From those eyes, Chen Yang only saw two words.
Bloodthirsty!
Chen Yang also slashed with his sword.
The man directly raised his left hand to block.
“Clang!”
Fire is flying!
There is no imaginary knife rising and falling.
It turned out that it was cut on the iron chain on his wrist.
The chain was cut off and fell to the ground in an instant. The man slapped Chen Yang on the chest.
Chen Yang had no choice but to put away his sword and block it.
There was a bang.
Chen Yang felt as if he had been hit by a bison. He stumbled and took several steps back before stopping against the stone wall of the corridor.
The man didn't want to let Chen Yang go, and then rushed over, trying to give Chen Yang a fatal triple blow.
Liu Henghu rushed up and slapped the man on the back with a probing horse move.
The man sensed the danger and had to give up Chen Yang. He ducked and avoided Liu Henghu's killing move. He grabbed the woman in the corner, threw it on his shoulder, turned around and ran away.
……
Unable to let him run away, the two of them quickly chased after him.
In the cave, the terrain is complex.
The man obviously knew the situation in the cave very well. Even in the absence of light, he was still walking fast.
Chen Yang and Liu Henghu followed closely, but after turning around several stone gates, they still lost sight of each other.
Run away?
Or are you hiding?
The two were panting, staring at each other with big eyes.
“Get out first!”
Liu Henghu made a prompt decision.
The situation in this cave is complicated. It is not as small as they imagined, and there are many twists and turns.
This Liu Changqing must have a very good understanding of the situation in the cave, and since he has been locked up here all year round, he is probably used to the darkness, so he can be said to have taken advantage of the situation.
If he found a place to hide and tried to sneak up on them, Chen Yang and the others would definitely not be able to do it.
……
Vajra Palace.
“How was it?”
Qin Zhou and others were still guarding the entrance of the cave. When they saw the two coming out, they quickly asked.
"Did you see anyone coming out?" Chen Yang asked immediately.
Qinzhou shook his head, "We have been staying here and no one came out."
No one came out, which means that the person is still inside.
Liu Henghu looked at Monk Longdeng and asked, "Is there any other exit from this cave?"
Long Deng looked confused, "I really don't know about this. Master Jin Ming usually uses it. We don't know the situation below..."
Liu Henghu's face was serious. If there are other things in this cave, If he said it, this person would probably have escaped by now.
"I know!" At this time, Monk Long Yun said, "There is an exit at the root of the kitchen wall. I once saw Master Jin Ming coming out from there..."
“Go and see!”
...
——
Long Yun is in charge of the kitchen in the temple. He is bloated and has a standard chef figure.
He has been a monk in Jianfeng Temple for more than 20 years. He has always been responsible for the food for the ten or so people in the temple.
What he knows best is the kitchen in the temple.
Under the wall outside the kitchen, there is an abandoned stove, with a broken, rusty iron pot on the stove.
At this moment, the iron pot was thrown aside casually.
Chen Yang looked around and saw that there was a hole in the stove that led to the ground.
It’s so dark that you can’t see the bottom.
Chen Yang reached out and touched the edge of the hole. He held his finger in front of him and took a look.
Blood!
It is freshly dripping blood.
Scattered blood stains extended from the stove to the wall, climbed over the courtyard wall, and went to a deserted forest behind the temple.
He raised his head and looked at Liu Henghu.
The woman was stabbed by Chen Yang just now. This should be the woman’s blood.
If Liu Changqing took that woman with him, he wouldn't be able to escape very quickly.
It’s not difficult to find them, just follow the blood trail.
"I'll chase, Xiaoyang, you stay here to guard!"
Liu Henghu is also cautious. Although he saw blood, there is no guarantee that the other party is setting up a suspicion formation. In case someone is still there In the cave, let them lure the tiger away from the mountain. If the two of them chase like this, they may have fallen into a trap.
Liu Henghu jumped out of the courtyard wall and dived into the woods outside the wall.
Chen Yang had no choice but to wait.
About half an hour passed before Liu Henghu came back.
His face was full of solemnity and disappointment.
Obviously, he lost track.
He chased for four or five miles, but no more blood was found, so he had to retreat.
Not expected.
It's a pity that Heihu was not brought here. Otherwise, it would have been just a matter of finding someone. Why would it be so troublesome?
"Does anyone remember what that woman looked like?"
In the front yard, Liu Henghu asked everyone in the temple.
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
I only knew that she was a young woman, but I didn’t see clearly what the woman looked like.
Although Chen Yang had met her before, the light in the cave was dim at that time, and he did not see her face clearly.
……
Backyard, under the sycamore tree.
The ground was covered with sycamore fruits, many of which were rotten, and the whole yard was filled with an unspeakable stench.
On the contrary to this kind of corruption, overnight, the sycamore tree in front of me seemed to be glowing with great vitality.
The beginning of autumn has passed, but the sycamore trees have sprouted buds and pulled out new branches, full of vitality and green.
"Old Wu, how are you feeling?" Chen Yang asked.
“Comfortable!”
The sycamore tree groaned softly, “I haven’t slept so comfortably for a long time!”
Over the years, it has been tortured by these bugs in its body, unable to eat well or sleep well.
Not only did Chen Yang's operation last night kill all the bugs, the essence also replenished it with a lot of vitality. It was indeed unprecedentedly comfortable.
"Liu Changqing ran away!"
Chen Yang said abruptly.
The sycamore tree stagnated.
The leaves shook slightly, and after a while they said, "I ran away, what else could I do?"
"Who was the woman who rescued him?"
"You ask me, how do I know?"
The Wutong tree smiled bitterly, "Do you really think that he and I have the same mind?"
"Is it the same mind, or are we colluding? Mr. Wu, can I still trust you?" Chen Yang seemed to be questioning.
The sycamore trees are silent.
Chen Yang said, "In any case, I can be considered as saving your life, Mr. Wu, whether we are human beings or trees, I don't ask you to be grateful to me, but at least don't repay kindness with enmity."
"I don't care what your relationship is with Liu Changqing, but Liu Changqing is not a good person. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and if you insist on getting entangled with him, I can only get you As his kind, since we can't be friends, we can only be enemies..."
"Stop, stop, stop..."
The Wutong tree quickly stopped, "Chen Yang, what's wrong with Jin Tan? You, do you want to treat him as an enemy? Yes, he may have done some evil things before he became a monk, but he has been in Jianfeng Temple for more than 40 years. His name is Jin Tan now, not Liu Changqing... ”
"Ha!"
Chen Yang said calmly, "Mr. Wu, there may not be any direct conflict between him and me, but he has a sworn brother named Ding Huanchun, who has a blood feud with me..."
"Even so, the person who is enmity with you is not him. Are you venting your anger on him?"
"Who told him to make a sworn alliance with a bad person? Just like Wu now. Just like you, if you insist on getting involved with him and trying to excuse him, then we can only be enemies!" Chen Yang shook his head and said in a very calm tone.
“Alas!”
The sycamore tree sighed, "He has been here for more than 40 years, but he has never done a single evil thing..."
"You are too tolerant of evil people!"
Chen Yang shook his head, "As long as the evil person stops doing evil, is he no longer a evil person? A single word of enlightenment can erase everything he has done before? If the cost of doing evil is so low, Mr. Wu, do you think this world will become "What do you want?"
Wutongshu was speechless for a moment, "What do you want?"
Chen Yang said, "Of course, find him, deal with him, and let him run away. , which is a great harm to society.”
"The Buddha said, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately!"
"The Buddha was right. It's not too late to deal with him first and then put down the butcher's knife!"
"You..."
The sycamore tree is speechless.
Chen Yang said, "Mr. Wu, can you tell me now where he is hiding?"
At this point, Chen Yang felt that he had given enough face to him. If this sycamore tree didn't recognize faces, Chen Yang would probably fall out.
The sycamore tree obviously felt it too.
He is just a spiritual plant. Even though it is almost S-level, it has no advantage at all when facing strong human beings. It is too easy to get rid of it.
Chen Yang can save it, but of course he can also destroy it.
"He is very strong. You should have fought against him before. You are not even in the spiritual realm, so there is no way you can be his opponent!" Wutong said.
"You don't have to worry about it!"
Chen Yang shook his head, "You only need to tell me where he is now, and don't worry about the rest!"
" Alas!"
Wutong sighed, "Where else can he go? His current situation is so confusing that he basically relies on his body's instincts to move. There is only one place on Bamian Mountain that he is obsessed with..."
"He went to the underground palace?" Chen Yang frowned slightly.
Wutongshu said, "I can roughly sense his location. He should be hiding in the Yellow Ox Cave in the Red Creek Valley to recuperate..."
"The Yellow Ox Cave? Is that the Bat Cave you mentioned?"
"Yes!"
Wutongshu said, "Although the bat king has been killed by Jin Ming, now the bat group in Huangniu Cave has given birth to a new king, and Jin Ming Tan can control it, Chen Yang, I advise you not to act rashly. He is unconscious now and cannot distinguish between friend and foe. He will attack anyone he sees..."
"Understood!"
Chen Yang nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Wu!"
I have to say that Wutongshu made a right choice.
Maybe it has a really good personal relationship with Liu Changqing, so it speaks for him again and again. From its perspective, it may be understandable to do so.
Chen Yang turned around and left.
He didn't care whether Liu Changqing was good or bad. The mere fact that he and Ding Huanchun were sworn brothers was enough for Chen Yang to label him as an enemy.
...
The time has come to the afternoon, and Liu Henghu has already informed Baoguo Temple of the situation here.
But there was no information feedback from Baoguo Temple.
If you run away, you will run away. What else can you do?
Even if Baoguo Temple sends people over, they may not be able to find him. What they can do is to issue a wanted order in the Panshan community across the country.
Remind everyone in the industry that such a dangerous figure has appeared.
That’s all.
In the Zen room, Chen Yang explained the situation.
Liu Henghu said nothing, but Qinzhou said, "This matter has nothing to do with us, so there is no need for us to rush to get together, right?"
For a person like Liu Changqing, Qinzhou obviously didn't want to take the initiative to provoke him. After all, he was a figure who once stood at the top of an era.
Now, even if you know where he is hiding, do you dare to go?
Chen Yang and Liu Henghu both fought against him, and both of them could make him run away. This man is indeed very strong.
Chen Yang punched him, and his arm was still a little sore. There was no doubt that this person's power was definitely in him.
Liu Henghu said, "Since I have encountered him, there is no reason not to take action. What's more, this is an extremely dangerous person. If he escapes, there will be endless troubles..."
"He is indeed powerful, but after all, he is over ninety years old and his physical strength is limited. As long as we can find him, it shouldn't be difficult to take him down with Xiaoyang and I..."
Speaking of this, Liu Henghu looked at Chen Yang and said, "Xiaoyang, what do you think?"
Chen Yang knew early on that Liu Henghu could not ignore this matter.
This is determined by Liu Henghu’s character of hating evil.
"I'll go with you, but Brother Tiger, I'll say it first. Once things get impossible, we have to get out in time. We can't be brave. There's no shame in running away."
Chen Yang took a deep breath. In fact, he had been hesitating whether to take a trip into this muddy water.
If he refuses now, he can actually stay out of it.
But firstly, the relationship between Liu Changqing and Ding Huanchun has made Chen Yang instinctively regard him as an enemy; secondly, he is indeed an extremely dangerous person. What will happen if he is allowed to escape? No one can tell the consequences.
Since Liu Henghu wants to go, Chen Yang is also willing to accompany him.
But the premise is that we must act within our capabilities when the time comes.
Qinzhou knew that he could not be persuaded, so he simply stopped. The three of them simply packed up, and before it got dark, they left Jianfeng Temple and went deep into the mountains.
