Chapter 33 Coming in droves
Wu Chengyu's expression remained unchanged. He just nodded slightly and then started to grab the skewers with Sister Niu. He was also hungry.

But Wu Chengyu couldn't help but complain in his heart: "I knew that in martial arts novels, when you stay overnight in a dilapidated temple, something bad is bound to happen. It's almost become a rule. I just hope that after a while, these people can really handle it and don't get killed by others and bring disaster to me, a little fish."

A group of people huddled in a dilapidated temple eating skewers. Sister Niu was not satisfied and took out a wine gourd, but was stopped by Brother Lu.

After Yu Xiaowu grilled all the skewers and fought with others for them, he finally had time to take care of Wu Chengyu.

"Little brother, your Thirteen Spices is simply amazing. I, Yu Xiaowu, like to cook and consider myself quite capable. I didn't expect to meet a master today. If I had missed this day, I would have had a few drinks with you and humbly asked for your advice."

"Brother Yu, you're too polite. Cooking skills should be exchanged. Brother Yu and I are both enthusiasts. I have always believed in the saying: the only thing in the world that cannot be wasted is delicious food."

“Delicious food is the only thing in the world that you cannot miss…” Yu Xiaowu silently repeated it several times. His whole body seemed to be illuminated. He jumped up from the ground, gesticulating and said to Wu Chengyu: “Well said, little brother! How could I not have thought of such a good saying? Just for this sentence, my trip today was not in vain.

It's a pity that I have to work today and can't drink. It's a pity to have meat but no wine. After tonight, I, Yu Laowu, will definitely drink three cups with you, little brother."

"Go away, Brother Xiaowu is still a child, how can he drink? Don't lead him astray." Sister Niu said while eating skewers.

"Second sister, Brother Xiaowu is already ten years old. When I was only three years old, you forced me to drink a bowl of strong liquor and I almost died of drunkenness. Why don't you say that you are the one who led me astray?"

The brother and sister were arguing with each other, and there was laughter at the scene. At this time, Wu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, looked outside the dilapidated temple, and stopped talking.

After a few breaths, Brother Lu and Sister Niu also discovered it one after another, turned their attention, and stared silently at the outside. In terms of internal skills, they were far superior to Wu Chengyu, but Wu Chengyu's keen five senses allowed him to notice the changes outside earlier than anyone else.

The violent storm was enough to cover up all traces, and Wu Chengyu only discovered someone approaching when the other party was about a hundred meters away from the ruined temple.

There was only one person, whose footsteps were steady and powerful, one step after another, not affected by the wind and rain at all. In Wu Chengyu's perception, the distance taken by this person was exactly the same, as if measured with a ruler, and each step was extremely solid, three feet into the ground. This person's lower body skills were extraordinary.

The person who comes has bad intentions, Wu Chengyu was thinking in his heart, when the other party had already arrived at the door of the dilapidated temple.

"Amitabha, I, Tianshi, a poor monk, passed by here and missed my place to stay. I would like to ask you to stay here for one night. I hope you will be kind enough to help me."

It turned out to be a monk. Wu Chengyu had never seen a monk from the Southern Song Dynasty since he traveled through time, so he immediately felt curious. However, the monks in the martial arts world were not easy to mess with.

Brother Lu responded loudly, "Master, you're welcome. We're all from the martial arts world, staying here to stay. It's convenient for everyone."

After hearing this, Tianshi put his hands together and bowed, then stepped over the threshold. Wu Chengyu took a look and saw that the man was about thirty years old, not tall, with a straight back and a very strong build. There were many calluses on his palms, which showed that he was good at martial arts.

After Tianshi entered the house, he just glanced at Wu Chengyu and others, then bowed to the statue in the temple whose head was missing, walked to the corner of the dilapidated temple and sat down. After that, he stopped talking and closed his eyes to meditate.

Brother Lu and the others also turned their attention back, and only one brother turned his seat slightly to ensure that he could see Tianshi's every move at any time.

Wu Chengyu knew that this monk Tianshi was just an intruder and was not the real person that Brother Lu and the others were waiting for tonight.

With the monk's arrival, the laughter and cursing around the fire subsided a bit, and everyone had almost finished their barbecue when someone else approached the temple again. This time it was two people, a man and a woman, wearing conical hats and their clothes were soaked by the heavy rain, but it was clear that they were dressed elegantly, and they were definitely not from ordinary families.

The two men took off their hats. The woman looked to be nearly thirty years old. She was wearing a silk skirt embroidered with two butterflies, a gold hairpin on her head, and a crystal-clear emerald jade bracelet on her wrist. Even though her face was pale, she looked graceful. She also glanced at the people around the fire and bowed slightly.

The other man was only in his early twenties, wearing the most common official hat of the Song Dynasty, with a piece of emerald jade inlaid on his forehead. He had handsome features, white teeth and red lips, but there was a bit of frivolity between his eyebrows and his eyes were wandering. His attention was all on the woman. As soon as he came in, he asked about her well-being and ignored everyone else.

"My lady, this dilapidated temple is in such a state of disrepair that I am sorry for you." After saying that, he glanced around briefly, pulled the woman to the other side of the dilapidated temple hall, away from Wu Chengyu and the others, moved a stone over, swept away the dust on it, and then helped the woman sit down.

Next, he dismantled the shrine around the statue, gathered some dead branches and surrounded it, turned around and walked in front of Brother Lu and others, and threw a piece of silver to Sister Niu.

"One penny of silver in exchange for a piece of firewood." Without waiting for everyone's consent, he took out a burning firewood from the fire, turned back to the woman, and used the firewood to light the wood and branches.

"My lady, warm yourself by the fire first. In this awful weather, if you catch a cold, I, Qian Yang, will be heartbroken. In my heart, my lady cannot stand any injustice." After saying this, he served her more carefully and took out some dry food from his arms.

"My lady, you must be hungry. Eat some dry food first. Tomorrow when we arrive at Qingyuan Prefecture, I will treat you to Zhuangyuan Pavilion to eat Zhuangyuan Chicken and steamed yellow croaker with Huadiao wine."

The woman's face was as gloomy as water after she sat down. She kept her head down and said nothing. She seemed unaware of the man's attentive service. The man didn't care either. Instead, he acted even more diligently.

Wu Chengyu now feels like she is watching a melodramatic love drama, where a dog tries to please a rich woman and serves her carefully. The rich woman neither likes him nor rejects him, but lets the dog circle around her and gives her enough emotional value. This kind of thing is not uncommon both in ancient times and modern times. Wu Chengyu feels like she is watching videos in her previous life again.

However, Sister Niu next to her cursed the gigolo in a low voice, clearly expressing her strong discomfort with gigolos and dog food.

About two incense sticks' time after the man and woman entered the temple, uninvited guests arrived outside the temple.

This time it was a burly man wearing a straw raincoat. He was very tall, at least 1.8 meters, which was considered a giant in that era. He seemed to be holding something in his arms, and a long spear in his right hand. He walked in with his chest out and head held high.

As soon as he entered the temple, the strong man inserted the spear upside down into the ground. With a clang, it went one foot into the soil. The spear shaft did not tremble at all. It was actually a steel spear made entirely of metal, with a slight golden tint on the tip.

Wu Chengyu frowned slightly, it seemed that this person was the one who came with bad intentions.

Song Dynasty martial artists traveled around the world, often carrying swords and knives. Pikes made of white wax rods were rare, let alone an iron spear. This spear was ten feet long, as thick as a child's arm, and weighed at least fifty or sixty kilograms.
