PS:PS: The raccoon knows that the updates in recent days are not very good, and it is so late every time. I’m sorry here!

But now, the damn bronchitis has gone, and I will return to normal. Well, the pit-filled mad raccoon cat returns strongly, where is the applause and where...^-^

The northern town doesn't matter its fame. As long as you know it is remote and rarely visited, there are basically no strangers coming here except for local residents and some bards who wander here by chance.

It is precisely because of this that although the straight line distance between the town and the northern temple is only more than a hundred miles, it is almost the closest place to the temple. However, the many winds and rains about the temple outside still do not affect the tranquility here.

But this morning, the town welcomed a strange face.

With a handsome appearance, a gentle smile, and a holy armor, she looks extremely heroic and upright. In this way, even if the residents of the town do not see the world, they will know that a great figure has come.

The attitude of this big man seemed very gentle, but the residents here naturally did not dare to come up to chat with him. Moreover, the big man's purpose was very clear. He passed through half of the town while nodding and smiling with passers-by and came to an ordinary house on the north side.

Turning around, raising your hand, dong dong dong... squeak!

The wooden door of the house was not closed to death. After knocking a few times, it opened itself. The big man raised his eyebrows and stepped in. But at this moment, suddenly, his legs and feet hovered in the air, his expression changed, and he said anxiously, "Don't get me wrong... it's me!"

The half-closed wooden door was completely opened, and the small courtyard appeared in sight. On the steps in front of the house, there was a white-haired old woman half-sitting, with a faint expression. She pursed her lips and squinted her eyes, and there was a persistent fighting spirit that was seriously inconsistent with her identity.

The explanation of the identity showed no obvious effect. On the contrary, the old woman's fighting spirit rose wildly, covering the entire courtyard in a short moment. The warm light seemed to have lost its temperature and gradually became cold.

He paused, looking at the fighting spirit that had not diminished at all. The big man realized something and raised his hands: "That, I came alone."

After looking at each other for a moment, the old woman's eyes drooped slightly, and the fighting spirit around her disappeared instantly, and her brows frowned: "How did you know I'm here... Owens?"

That big man, oh. Owens did not answer this question immediately, but breathed a sigh of relief first and smeared his forehead with cold sweat.

Others don’t know, but Owens knows what kind of terrifying strength this seemingly old woman in front of her has! Let’s not talk about anything else, if the old woman chose to take action just now, then all he could do was turn around and run away...

He waved his hand and greeted him, and a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again, "Hi, Xia Wei'an. After all, he is a friend who has known each other for many years. He doesn't expect you to hand me a cup of tea. But at least he has to let me in first..."

After a pause, he looked at Xia Wei'an, who was disguised as an old woman, frowned even more. Owens' eyelids twitched and he quickly spread his hands and pressed them down, "Okay, okay, I'm really afraid of you... I'd better come in by myself."

After crossing the threshold, Owens said directly, "It's really nice to use this place as a hiding place, it's very quiet, and it's not easy to be thought of. But, hehe, to say, there are many people who know your personality, but I'm definitely one of the top ones."

"About the Bounty Hunter Guild, the temple is indeed inauthentic about you. But I know you can't be discouraged and betray the temple because of this. On the contrary, you only think about how to get the temple back to the right path, right? Haha, so I decided that you can't leave the temple too far, and you should be waiting for the opportunity nearby."

After pursing his lips, Xia Wei'an remained silent. Without denying it, it means that he is a default.

"As for how you know you are hiding here..." Owens shook his head and sighed, "Actually, I just deliberately collected the information around the temple. But you, Xia Wei'an, always hate evil. But in just a few days, I cleaned up a bully in the town..."

It was undoubtedly clear that everything became clear. Xia Wei'an came to hide in this remote town and shouldn't have made any noise, but her jealous character still made her teach the bullies in the town a lesson. It was this inconspicuous little thing that made Owens, who was so thoughtful, quickly find him...

To a certain extent, what Owens said before was not boasting, he did know Xia Wei'an very well.

"Of course, these are just speculations. You know, just the moment I entered the door, I thought I was a waste of time..." As I stepped closer, Owens couldn't help but squint his eyes, looking up and down at Xia Wei'an's disguise, especially his face, and couldn't help but be amazed, "This disguise technique is simply amazing! If it weren't for the fighting spirit just now, I would have thought I had recognized the wrong person... Well, when did you know such an expert?"

Subconsciously touched the wrinkles on his face, stunned for a moment, and then returned to normal. Xia Wei'an had no intention of explaining, but said in a low voice: "What are you still looking for me to do... I am now a wanted criminal who colluded with evil heresy. If you guessed correctly, the temple is chasing me now. Are you not afraid of being implicated by me?"

Owens was stunned when he heard this: "Uh...you already know?"

"Hmph!" With a snorting, Xia Wei'an flipped his right hand and threw a... bird? Owens raised his hand in surprise, took the origami with his wings and looked like a bird, and his face was strange, "Hey, I really didn't see it. Xia Wei'an, when did you have this skill? How did this be folded into the shape of a bird? It's very exquisite..."

"This is a paper crane..." Xia Weian subconsciously spoke up to correct her, but then she frowned and waved her hand impatiently, "Tear it apart!"

"Okay, but how do you disassemble this...uh?" Judging from the paper traces, the paper crane seemed to have been disassembled and folded many times, so before Owens finished speaking with distress, the paper crane in his hand had been disassembled naturally and scattered into a piece of white and black text.

The content on the paper is very simple, it is a temple wanted order. But the wanted object written at the beginning - Xia Wei'an, these three words are enough to shock the world!

Who is Xia Wei'an? He is a martial arts genius that has not been released in a century in the temple! He is the flower of knights that many men and women admire! He is the sacred knight chief who killed countless evil heresy... But now, Xia Wei'an, who has outstanding achievements and glory, has become a criminal wanted criminal who colluded with evil heresy and directly caused the large-scale destruction of the temple!

After a moment of silence, Owens suddenly thought of something. He looked surprised: "You...uh, you didn't leave in Holy Light City?"

This wanted order was issued on the spot the day after the temple was destroyed, and the number was not large, so it was impossible to have it outside the city of Holy Light. This means that when the temple was preparing to conduct a big search, the targets of the hunt were actually under their noses...

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I really expected it..." After repeating it three times, Owens kept shaking his head and looking at Xia Wei'an with shock. "I just realized now that I don't know you very much."

"It's not my idea." After a brief explanation, Xia Wei'an looked obviously impatient, "You haven't answered my question yet. What are you doing here for me?"

If it's not you, then it's only that Don... Owens suppressed his guess and spread his hands and said, "The reason is very simple. I didn't like your attitude towards the temple before, but now I can't stand the way the temple is doing to you. So, I decided to help you."

"Help me?" Xia Wei'an raised her eyebrows and looked up, "What can you help me?"

"Uh...what is your strong skeptical attitude? Please, at least I risk my life to help you, my friend, okay? No matter how poor my strength is, you won't leave any face for me."

Holding his forehead, Owens looked helpless, "And, at least I am a traitor, I am always competent to inform you, right?"

Xia Wei'an looked at Owens calmly after hearing this and pondered for a moment: "Have you thought about it?"

"certainly!"

"Okay, I believe you!" Xia Wei'an simply nodded. "But, what news can you bring to me?"

"Haha, no matter how I say I am also the Holy Knight Priest, and I have a good reputation, so I am naturally well informed. Well, let me talk about the recent situation of the temple first. You don't know what the temple and the Holy Light City are going to be in chaos in these days..."

...

Xia Wei'an has been staying in the town for the past few days to sort out her thoughts, so she naturally didn't know the situation outside. Now from Owens, she learned about the difficult situation of the temple...

Let’s not talk about other places for now, just take what Owens actually saw. In the city of Holy Light, where the faith is the most firm, there is still a turbulence now.

Some believers gathered around the temple day and night with scandals that broke out one after another, asking the temple’s top management to explain and respond. Some were even more discouraged and disappointed with the temple and moved their families away from the Holy Light City. Some were even more extreme, quarreling, fighting in the city with the crazy believers who defended the temple…

"...Oh, except for collecting news about you, I have almost no time to relax and keep taking the brigade of knights out to pull up the frame... Old Bodun, the bread shop in the city, remember that his ancestors lived in the Holy Light City, and the whole family was loyal believers of the temple. But this time, he fought with his son Little Bodun for the destruction of the temple. After we rushed over, the two were already bleeding and couldn't even pull them away... Later, Old Bodun pulled me away and kept asking loudly if the Bounty Hunter Guild was fake or if it was a rumor made by others. I don't know how to describe that expression, but I think I will never forget it in my life... But how do you ask me to answer? Say no, you can comfort his emotions, but you can't explain his doubts, and you can't convince myself. Say yes? How can I bear it? In the end, I have to let him hold me..."

He let out a long sigh, "Huh...why? Actually, I came here not entirely to help you, but also to myself. Because at least this, I can feel a little more at ease... I didn't like you before because I thought the temple was still saved. But now... it's hard to say! But one thing is roughly certain, that is, if the temple continues like this, it will collapse..."

Amid Owens' lonely sigh, Xia Wei'an's expression couldn't help but be stunned, and was speechless for a while.

She naturally knew about the Bounty Hunter Guild. Looking at the wanted order these days, sometimes she would be ruthless and think about exposing the matter directly. Then see how the temple explains to millions of believers...

Of course, this is just thinking about it. After all, she is a member of the Temple of Light, and naturally she understands the principle that family scandals should not be made public, so she is more inclined to report this matter to the General Association and solve it internally. But she didn't expect that someone would take the lead and expose the matter directly, but it was reasonable and convincing...

At the same time, Xia Wei'an did not expect that this incident would cause such a large-scale unrest, far exceeding expectations, and even gave people the feeling that the temple was like an assassin or a thief, reaching the point where everyone shouted and beaten!

Taking a deep breath, Xia Weian pursed her lips, as if she had decided something, and said slowly: "You said. If I stood up and announced that the Bounty Hunter Guild is true, what will happen?"

"Uh... Stop kidding, it's messy now... Hum? Are you serious?" Looking at Xia Wei's familiar and persistent gaze, Owens was stunned and opened his mouth to veto it directly, but in the end he still held it back and frowned. "Reason!"

After staying in the quiet town for a few days, Xia Wei'an obviously used this to figure out a lot of things. Hearing the words, he calmly explained: "We all know that the matter of the Bounty Hunter Guild is true, and those who buy murderers should not be fake. This matter cannot be hidden by concealment alone, so why don't we choose to expose it ourselves? Of course, believers will be very disappointed, even angry and resentful... But at least in this way, we can make some believers know after being angry that the temple still has light, justice, and hope for remedy!"

Owens couldn't help but grab his hair when he heard this. He used the tingling pain to suppress the cold feeling of his scalp, and hesitated: "Put it to death and then live? Uh, your thoughts... make some sense, but they are even more bold! Well, can't you be gentler?"

"No." Xia Wei'an waved his hand firmly, "The temple is like a serious illness now. It is impossible to resist it. It can only be treated with heavy medicine. Otherwise, we can only watch it weaken, rotten, and eventually completely defeated!"

"Okay, your statement has touched me." He spread his hands, "But in this way, do we still have a chance to treat the temple? We can't hate us so much, and we want to kill him soon!"

This is a fact. Xia Wei'an and Owens both came from the Temple of Light, so they naturally knew what kind of terrifying power the Temple had. It is no exaggeration to say that it is not difficult to kill them than to kill an ant.

"Haha, that's not necessarily true." Perhaps because of the determination of the direction of efforts, Xia Wei'an looked much more relaxed and said with a chuckle, "If you don't say it far away, just talk about that Tang En. He was wanted by the temple throughout the continent. He is still alive now. He even dared to come to the Northern Temple to cause trouble a few days ago, but we still can't do anything to him."

When Owens heard this, Xia Weian waved her hand and interrupted, "Of course, I know we are different from that guy. Well, although I don't want to admit it, he is indeed much better than us in some aspects. At least in terms of how to escape, I have never seen anyone more...professional than him."

I thought of a suitable adjective and paused, "But we also have our own advantages and helpers, not fighting alone."

"Advantages and helpers?" Owens raised his eyebrows in surprise, thought for a while, and asked in confusion, "Is there any?"

"Of course there is!" Xia Wei'an focused heavily and seemed very confident: "There is indeed a problem in the temple now, but not all clergymen have problems. Have you forgotten that there is a group of people in the temple that their faith in the Father is extremely pure..."

Before he finished speaking, Owens' heart suddenly moved and couldn't help blurting out, "Pilgrim!"

"Yes, they are Puritans. In addition, there are some ascetics, who are the mainstays of the temple!"

The so-called Puritans are actually normal clergy. Their every move is strictly followed by the ancient temple doctrine and advocates a lifestyle of diligence and hardship. At the same time, they believe that the current situation of the temple is gradually deteriorating, so their core proposition is the "pure" temple.

It is precisely because of this claim that their positioning in the temple is a bit strange. After all, not all clergy have such awareness. Over time, they simply become a faction inside the temple.

It can be imagined that such a faction is naturally disliked by most clergymen, so under intentional or unintentional suppression, almost no one in this faction can occupy a high position in the temple, and his sense of existence is really weak. This also made Owens not expect them just now...

As for the monks, you need not say anything, you can tell what kind of group this is by looking at the name. They are only keen on studying doctrines or obsessed with power, and ignore the rest. They are among the few neutral factions inside the temple.

To a certain extent, Xia Wei'an is a Puritan and a monk, and his relationship with the people in these two sects is naturally good. So if she comes forward, this is indeed an advantage and helper!

"Okay, it seems that you have really thought about a lot of things these days. Well, I have to say, I was convinced by you." After pondering for a moment, Owens decisively beat his palm, "Then do it, I'll contact the Puritans, you go and announce the affairs of the Bounty Hunter Guild... Be careful, you must know that you may be charged with the crime of the temple traitor for a long time in the future!"

"Actually, I'm already a traitor, right?" pointed to the wanted order, Xia Wei'an looked self-deprecating, and then touched her wrinkled face, "Fortunately, I have this now, and I should be able to avoid it for a while... Haha, it's really ironic. I'm determined to kill him, but I didn't expect that one day I would use his things to save my life."

Without saying it clearly, Owens naturally knew who he was referring to, and shrugged: "Then let's treat it as the price of him destroying most of the temple, so that it's safe to use it."

"... Actually, I threw that demon skull."

"Well……"

...

Just one day later, in a certain town, Xia Wei'an indeed stood up to confirm the relationship between the Temple of Light and the Bounty Hunter Guild.

Let’s not talk about whether her practice of putting her to death and living will succeed. At least at present, the remarks made with her reputation have become the last straw that broke the camel’s back. The forces of the temple in the north have completely fallen into a passive state and are even at a tendency to be driven out...

And she, the original sacred knight leader of the Temple of Light, became a traitor who was scolded overnight. Ordinary believers cannot understand it now, while crazy believers directly insult the temple, while secretly sending people to chase and kill...

The only beneficiary may be Tang En in Hanshui City. After receiving this news, even though he was as calm as he was, he could not help but be stunned for a while, and then he couldn't help but look up and sigh.

"It's true...one pink is worth ten black!"
