Chapter 208 Be friends or be enemies?
Liu Henghu was having a headache just now.

No matter what Liu Changqing had done in the past, he is now a member of Jianfeng Temple and has been a Buddhist for many years.

Let him handle it, how will he handle it?

It's impossible for him to just kill someone.

But this kind of person would be a nuisance if released. After much thought, it is best to keep him locked up.

It would be best to lock him up until he dies.

After all, Liu Changqing is already over 90 years old and he probably won't live for many more years.

Just now, Liu Henghu heard Chen Yang say that Liu Changqing would have a short period of lucidity at night, so he thought about meeting him again in the evening.

Open the system panel.

Chen Yang looked at his information, and his eyes fell on the [Floor Plan of the Bamianshan Underground Palace]. He wanted to find an opportunity to take it out and study it.

"Master! Master Longdeng!"

Just at this moment, a hurried shout came from outside.

Longdeng stood up and walked out.

A monk in his forties was standing outside, and he said anxiously, "Master, someone has run into the cave of the Vajra Hall!"

"what?"

Long Deng was startled, "Didn't I tell you to keep it safe?"

"me……"

The monk was in a panic and spoke incoherently.

Everyone ignored him and hurried towards the Vajra Hall.

Jianfeng Temple is not big, and you can reach the Vajra Hall after turning two corners.

At this time, there were two monks in their fifties guarding the entrance of the cave.

They poked their heads out and looked inside, but no one dared to go down.

Seeing Long Deng and others coming, the two of them quickly stood up straight.

One of them said, "Just now a woman appeared out of nowhere and ran away when we were not paying attention..."

"female?"

Several people were stunned.

Are there any women in the temple?

Longdeng's face was gloomy. There was no way there could be a woman in the temple. She was probably some ignorant tourist or someone with ulterior motives.

Although he had ordered the temple to be closed long ago, there was no guarantee that someone might have found a place to hide secretly.

He looked at Liu Henghu.

Liu Henghu said to Chen Yang, "Xiaoyang, let's go down, and the others will stay outside!"

Chen Yang nodded slightly.

Think about the person below. If the others go down, they will only be a burden. If something happens, they won’t be able to take care of it.

At that moment, the two of them entered the cave, one in front and one behind.

……

-

The cave was still cold and gloomy.

The two walked one after the other. It was very quiet around them, so quiet that they could almost hear each other's heartbeats.

They had been here before, so they were familiar with the place and went straight to the stone chamber where Liu Changqing was imprisoned.

At this time, both of them had a bad feeling in their hearts.

What a coincidence, someone suddenly broke into the cave at this time. Could this be a coincidence?

How could such a coincidence happen?
Soon, they arrived at the stone chamber.

What they saw made their hearts tighten.

The stone chamber was empty, where was the human figure?
The iron chains on the wall were cut off manually and dragged quietly on the ground, but the air was still filled with a pungent stench.

Ran?

The two men realized that something was wrong and immediately retreated from the stone chamber.

"Humph!"

A dark shadow suddenly jumped out from the shadows at the corner, like a wild wolf, and rushed towards the two of them.

Liu Henghu took the brunt of the attack and punched the black shadow.

"Oh!"

With a muffled sound, Liu Henghu took several steps back.

At the same time, another figure flashed out from the darkness and quickly came in front of Chen Yang.

With the help of the flashlight, Chen Yang could see it clearly.

It's a woman.

A young woman.

She held a dagger in her hand and stabbed Chen Yang in the chest without saying a word.

The attack was extremely ruthless.

Chen Yang frowned slightly, and almost instinctively, a butcher knife appeared in his hand, and he chopped it casually.

"clang!"

Chen Yang's strength was so great that it was beyond the reach of the other party. When metal and iron collided, a flash of fire appeared.

The dagger in the man's hand was knocked away.

Chen Yang turned around and slashed at her with his knife.

Oh!

"what!"

Then a scream was heard from the darkness.

The woman's scream was extremely sharp and piercing.

At this time, the black shadow next to him pounced straight towards Chen Yang.

Their eyes met, and they were a pair of scarlet eyes like a wild beast.

Liu Changqing!
From those eyes, Chen Yang only saw two words.

Bloodthirsty!

Chen Yang also swung his knife.

But the man simply raised his left hand to block.

"clang!"

Fire is flying!

The knife didn't rise and fall as imagined.

It turned out that the wound had hit the chain on his wrist.

The chain was cut off and slid to the ground in an instant. The man slapped Chen Yang's chest directly.

Chen Yang had no choice but to put away his knife and block.

There was a bang.

Chen Yang felt like he was hit by a wild bull. He stumbled and took several steps back, and only stopped when he leaned against the stone wall of the corridor.

The man didn't intend to let Chen Yang go just like that, and immediately rushed over, wanting to give Chen Yang three fatal blows in a row.

Liu Henghu rushed forward and slapped the man on the back with a scout move.

The man sensed the danger and had to give up Chen Yang. He crouched down to avoid Liu Henghu's fatal move, grabbed the woman in the corner, carried her on his shoulder, turned around and ran away.

……

There was no way they could let him get away, so the two of them quickly chased after him.

The terrain in the cave is complex.

The man was obviously very familiar with the situation in the cave. Even in the absence of light, he was still moving briskly.

Chen Yang and Liu Henghu followed closely behind, but after turning several stone doors, they lost sight of each other.

Ran?

Or hiding?

The two of them were panting, staring at each other.

"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 branches coming and going.

Liu Changqing must be very familiar with the situation in the cave. Moreover, he has been imprisoned here for many years and is probably used to the darkness. It can be said that he has taken advantage of the geographical location.

If he found a place to hide and suddenly launched a sneak attack on them, Chen Yang and the other two would definitely not be able to win.

……

Vajra Hall.

"How about it?"

Qinzhou and others were still guarding the cave entrance. When they saw the two men coming out, they hurriedly asked them.

"Did you see anyone coming out?" Chen Yang asked immediately.

Qin Zhou shook his head, "We have been guarding here, and we haven't seen anyone come out."

If he hasn't come out, that means the person is still inside.

Liu Henghu looked towards the monk Longdeng and asked, "Is there any other exit in this cave?"

Long Deng looked bewildered. "I really don't know about this. Usually, it's Master Jin Ming who uses it. We don't know the situation below..."

Liu Henghu's face was gloomy. If this cave had other exits, this person would have escaped by now.

"I know!" At this time, Monk Long Yun said, "There is an exit at the base of the kitchen wall. I once saw Master Jin Ming come out from there..."

"Go and see!"

……

-

Long Yun is in charge of the temple’s kitchen. He is fat and bloated, with a typical chef’s body shape.

He has been a monk in Jianfeng Temple for more than 20 years, and he has always been responsible for the meals of the dozen or so people in the temple.

What he knew best was the temple's kitchen.

At the foot of the wall outside the kitchen, there was an abandoned stove with a broken and rusty iron pot on it.

At this moment, the iron pot was thrown aside casually.

Chen Yang leaned over and took a look. He saw a hole in the stove that led to the underground.

It’s pitch black and I can’t see the bottom.

Reaching out and touching the edge of the cave, Chen Yang held his finger in front of him and took a look.

Blood!

It's freshly dripped blood.

Scattered bloodstains extended from the stove to the wall, then over the wall and into a wasteland behind the temple.

He looked up and exchanged glances with Liu Henghu.

The woman was just slashed by Chen Yang, so 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 go after him, Xiaoyang, you stay here!"

Liu Henghu was also cautious. Although he saw blood, he could not guarantee that it was a deliberate trick by the other party. What if the man was still in the cave and they were trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain? With the two of them chasing him, they might have fallen into a trap.

Liu Henghu turned over and 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 later, Liu Henghu came back.

His face was filled with solemnity and disappointment.

Obviously, he lost it.

He chased for four or five miles, but found no more bloodstains, so he had to retreat.

Not expected.

It’s a pity that Black Tiger was not brought with him. Otherwise, it would only be to find someone. Why would there be so much trouble?
"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 it was a young woman, but I didn't see clearly what she 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.

……

In the 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.

In stark contrast to this corruption, the sycamore tree in front of him seemed to be full of vitality overnight.

The beginning of autumn has passed, but the paulownia trees have sprouted new buds and branches, and are full of vitality and green.

"Mr. Wu, how do you feel?" Chen Yang asked.

"Comfortable!"

The phoenix tree hummed softly, "I haven't slept so comfortably in a long time!"

Over the years, it has been tortured by these worms in its body, unable to eat or sleep well.

Not only did Chen Yang's operation last night kill all the bugs, but the essence also gave it a lot of vitality, which really made me feel more comfortable than ever before.

"Liu Changqing ran away!"

Chen Yang said suddenly.

The paulownia tree froze.

The leaves shook lightly, and after a while they said, "It's gone, so what else can I do?"

"Who was the woman who rescued him?"

"You ask me, how should I know?"

Wutongshu gave a bitter smile, "Do you really think that he and I have a rapport?"

"Is it a mutual understanding or collusion? Mr. Wu, can I still trust you?" Chen Yang seemed to be questioning.

The paulownia tree was silent.

Chen Yang said, "Anyway, I have saved your life, Wu Lao. Whether we are human or tree, I don't ask you to be grateful to me, but at least don't repay kindness with hatred."

"I don't care what your relationship with Liu Changqing is, but Liu Changqing is not a good person. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. If you insist on getting entangled with him, I can only treat you as one of his kind. Since we can't be friends, then we can only be enemies..."

"Stop, stop..."

Wutongshu hurriedly stopped him, "Chen Yang, what did Jintan do to you? Do you think he is your enemy? Yes, before he became a monk, he might have done something evil, but he has been in Jianfeng Temple for more than 40 years. He is now called Jintan, not Liu Changqing..."

"Ah!"

Chen Yang said calmly, "Old 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, he's not the one who made an enemy of you. Are you taking your anger out on him?"

"Who asked him to become sworn brothers with the bad guy? Just like you, Old Wu, now, you insist on getting involved with him and making excuses for him. Then we can only be enemies!" Chen Yang shook his head, his tone was very flat.

"Ugh!"

The Wutong tree sighed deeply, "He has been here for more than 40 years, and he has never done a bad thing..."

"You are too lenient towards evil people!"

Chen Yang shook his head. "As long as the evil person stops doing evil, he is no longer an evil person? Can a sentence of enlightenment erase everything he has done before? If the cost of doing evil is so low, Master Wu, what do you think the world will become?"

The parasol tree was speechless for a moment, "What do you want?"

Chen Yang said, "Of course we have to find him and kill him. If such a dangerous person is allowed to escape, it will be a great threat to society."

"The Buddha said, put down the butcher knife and you will become a Buddha right away!"

"The Buddha is right. Let's deal with him first, then it won't be too late to put down the butcher knife!"

"you……"

The phoenix tree is slow to speak.

Chen Yang said, "Old Wu, can you tell me now where he is hiding?"

Having said that, Chen Yang felt that he had given enough face. If this paulownia tree did not understand, Chen Yang was afraid that it would really turn against him.

The paulownia tree apparently felt it too.

He was just a spiritual plant. Even though he was almost at S-level, he had no advantage at all when facing strong human beings. It was too easy to get rid of him.

Chen Yang can save it, but of course he can also destroy it.

"He is very strong. You should have fought with him before. You are not even in the spiritual realm. You can't be his opponent at all!" said Wutongshu.

"Don't worry about it!"

Chen Yang shook his head. "You just need to tell me where he is now, and don't worry about the rest!"

"Ugh!"

Wutong sighed, "Where else can he go? He is in a daze right now, and his actions are basically based on his body's instincts. On this Bamian Mountain, there is only one place 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?"

"That's right!"

Wutongshu said, "Although the bat king has been killed by Jin Ming, a new king has been born in the bat group in Huangniu Cave, and Jin Tan can control it. Chen Yang, I advise you not to act rashly. He is now unconscious and can't distinguish between friend and foe. He will attack anyone he sees..."

"learn!"

Chen Yang nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Wu!"

I have to say that the paulownia tree made the right choice.

Maybe it has a really good personal relationship with Liu Changqing, so it keeps speaking for him. From its point of view, there is nothing wrong with doing so.

Chen Yang turned and left.

He didn't care whether Liu Changqing was good or bad. The fact that he and Ding Huanchun were sworn brothers was enough for Chen Yang to list him as an enemy.

……

It was already afternoon, and Liu Henghu had already reported the situation here to Baoguo Temple.

But there was no feedback from Baoguo Temple.

He's gone, so what else can I do?
Even if Baoguo Temple sent people over, they might not be able to find the person. All they could do was issue a wanted warrant throughout the Panshan area of ​​the country.

Alert everyone in the industry that such a dangerous person has appeared.

That's it.

In the Zen room, Chen Yang explained the situation.

Liu Henghu didn't say anything, but Qinzhou said, "This matter has nothing to do with us, so there's no need for us to rush in, right?"

Qinzhou obviously didn't want to take the initiative to provoke a figure like Liu Changqing. After all, he was once a top figure of an era.

Now, even if you know where he is hiding, would you dare to go?
Both Chen Yang and Liu Henghu fought against him, and the two of them combined were able to make him run away. This guy is indeed very strong.

Chen Yang exchanged a punch with him, and his arm still felt a little sore. There was no doubt that the man's strength was definitely on him.

Liu Henghu said, "Now that I have met him, there is no reason not to take action. Moreover, he is an extremely dangerous person. If he escapes, there will be endless troubles..."

"He is indeed powerful, but he is already over ninety years old and has limited physical strength. As long as we can find him, it shouldn't be difficult for Xiaoyang and I to take him down together..."

At this point, Liu Henghu looked at Chen Yang and said, "Xiao Yang, what do you think?"

Chen Yang knew from the beginning that Liu Henghu would not ignore this matter.

This was determined by Liu Henghu's character of hating evil.

"I'll go with you, but Brother Hu, let me tell you this first. If things get out of hand, we have to get out in time. We can't be stubborn. There's nothing shameful about running away."

Chen Yang took a deep breath. In fact, he had been hesitating whether to get involved in this mess.

If he refuses now, he can actually stay out of it.

But on the one hand, the relationship between Liu Changqing and Ding Huanchun has made Chen Yang instinctively regard him as an enemy; on the other hand, he is indeed an extremely dangerous person, and no one can tell what the consequences will be if he lets him escape.

Since Liu Henghu wants to go, Chen Yang is happy to accompany him.

But the prerequisite is that you should do what you can when the time comes.

Qinzhou knew that he could not persuade them, so he simply gave up. The three of them simply packed up and left Jianfeng Temple before it got dark, heading into the mountains.
