C391 Going Around in Circles

Namiki Reiko turned pale with fright. She screamed and fainted. When she opened her eyes again, she found that Duan Tianya was gone. Muto Ichiro was also gone. She was the only one left in the room.

She looked up and saw the ruined Buddha statue. She sat on the praying mat, closed her eyes, and began to recite scriptures.

After a while, Duan Tianya stood behind her, holding a long staff in his hand.

Namiki Reiko took a look and seemed to have understood something. Tears immediately flowed out of her eyes, but she didn't say a single word as she continued to recite the scriptures.

"You should know that it was me who killed Muto Ichiro. " Duan Tianya poked the long stick to the side.

Namiki Reiko did not say a word and was still chanting scriptures. After a long time, she opened her mouth and said: "Life and death are determined by fate!"

Duan Tianya was puzzled and asked, "You are not sad?"

Namiki Reiko said, "Sad!"

Duan Tianya said, "If you are given a chance to choose again, will you choose to travel with Muto Ichiro?"

Namiki Reiko sighed softly and said, "I am old and do not want to mess with others. "

Duan Tianya said, "Shouldn't a person be able to do whatever he wants and be open and aboveboard?"

Namiki Reiko said, "There is a saying in Buddhism that everyone should be empty and have no desires. "

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "If that is really the case, then wouldn't the world be filled with monks?"

Namiki Reiko said, "Humans are in the mortal world. The true four are all empty. They should be in Buddhism. "

Duan Tianya said, "Are you in the mortal world or Buddhism now?"

Namiki Reiko took a deep breath and said, "I am in Buddhism, but my heart is still in the mortal world. "

Duan Tianya said, "Is it because of Muto Ichiro?"

Namiki Reiko did not say anything and lowered her head to read the scriptures again.

Late at night, the fierce wind did not stop. The howling cold wind passed through the window of the broken temple and let out howls like ghosts and wolves. Namiki Reiko sat alone in front of the Buddha statue. Her eyes were filled with tears but she was still silently chanting the scriptures.

Suddenly, she broke into tears. The crying broke the darkness and echoed in every corner of the broken temple.

Duan Tianya was crouching on the roof of the ruined temple. He had seen all of this.

At this moment, several figures suddenly flashed out from afar. Duan Tianya stood up and looked into the distance. These people were very efficient, and in the blink of an eye, they had already arrived in front of him.

He walked in and took a look. There were 17 people in total. They were all warriors from the East Ocean. They wore night clothes, and their faces were covered. Each of them had a long knife hidden behind their backs. All of them wore black scarves on their heads. The leader of the group said in a low voice, "Duan Tianya?"

Duan Tianya nodded and said, "Yes!"

These people did not say anything. They drew their long knives from their backs and attacked Duan Tianya together. They did it in one go and did not hesitate at all.

Duan Tianya pulled out his long sword and jumped down. As soon as the sword light was released, it swept across the sky.

The moves of these warriors were very strange. Moreover, their moves were extremely vicious. They were all aimed at the vital points of a person. One look and one could tell that they were well-trained killers.

Duan Tianya swung his sword and sent a man's long blade flying. He followed the momentum and swung his sword again, slashing away a few of the incoming blades. He took advantage of the situation and flew straight towards the throat of the man in the lead. That man was not careless either. He countered the attack with a backhand slash. However, who would have thought that Duan Tianya would swing his left hand and shout: "Watch my move!"

The leader thought that it was just a bluff and did not take any precautions. However, he felt his left arm go numb and that person moved backwards. Looking at the wound on his arm, he saw that there was a silver needle in his arm. Before Duan Tianya could say anything, the man in the lead held his long saber. He chopped off his arm with his saber. This action of his. . . Duan Tianya couldn't help but feel surprised.

When the rest of the people saw that the man was injured, they all went forward to protect him. After that, they slowly retreated. When they retreated fifty to sixty meters, they suddenly disappeared into the night sky.

Duan Tianya looked at the arm on the ground. He took off the armband tied to his arm and returned to the broken temple. He handed the armband to Namiki Reiko and asked, "Do you know the words on it?"

Namiki Reiko wiped her tears and said, "This is the Muto family's armband. "

Duan Tianya said with lingering fear, "They are really ruthless. "

Namiki Reiko said, "Aren't you even more vicious?" Duan Tianya smiled bitterly and did not say anything.

In the harsh winter, the weather should be pleasant. Duan Tianya laid on the ground full of dandelion grass, ate the roasted wild game, and drank the fresh wine that he bought. Although it was a little monotonous, it had a different taste.

Duan Tianya stayed in the ruined temple for a few days. He was waiting for someone to come. He calculated in his heart that they should arrive soon.

Sure enough, after noon, a group of people came to the temple. The leader was Muto Hidetoshi, followed by Muto Jiro.

Muto Hidetoshi kicked the temple door open. When he saw Duan Tianya, he said angrily, "Did you kill Ichiro?"

At this moment, another group of people came to the door. The leader was Shenzong Xin. He brought his men with him. When he saw Duan Tianya, he was furious. "It's fine that you have disappointed Huizi, but now you have harmed my mother. Today, I will kill you. "

"Kill me?" Duan Tianya could not help but smile. "Muto Ichiro and Huizi were the first ones to commit adultery. What I did was to solve a difficult problem for your two families. Not only are you not grateful, but you also want to repay kindness with ingratitude. "

Shenzong Xin said angrily, "Abandoning Huizi and killing my mother, how can I spare you?"

Duan Tianya sneered and said, "Your mother and Muto Ichiro had feelings for each other. It could be said that the heavens do not allow it. Back then, Huizi and Muto Ichiro had an arranged marriage agreement. Now it can be considered to have fulfilled them. Did I do something wrong?"

"Of course you were wrong!" Shenzong Xin loudly stopped him.

Duan Tianya looked at him and asked him back. "If your mother was still alive, would you agree with her and Muto Ichiro?"

Shenzong Xin was speechless.

Duan Tianya looked at Muto Hidetoshi again and said, "Will you agree?"

At this moment, Muto Hidetoshi looked embarrassed. After a long time, he muttered to himself, "If my agreement can exchange for Ichiro's life, of course I am willing. " He had made up his mind to say this.

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. " This sentence pulled Muto Hidetoshi back to reality. He knew that there was no turning back.

He was angry and angry. He pulled out his long blade and aimed it at Duan Tianya's life. Duan Tianya waved his hand and said jokingly, "Wait!"

Muto Hidetoshi was startled, then he said angrily, "If I don't kill you today, I won't be able to give my son an explanation. "

Duan Tianya flashed backwards and jumped in front of the Buddha statue. He said with a smile. "If the two of you don't come out, I'm afraid that I will die a tragic death. " He moved the Buddha statue away. Everyone saw Muto Ichiro and Namiki Reiko hiding behind the Buddha statue.

Muto Hidetoshi asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

Duan Tianya said, "This is obviously a plan that was prepared in advance. "

Muto Hidetoshi said angrily, "You dare to play with me?"
