……

After sinking for a while, Li Yun suddenly got up from the haystack, moved to the iron railing and said, "Little brother, I want to ask you for a favor." The decadent expression changed, and he looked serious.

Zhou Bo was stunned,......

Withdraw from cultivation: "You say it first, and then I decide." ”

Li Yun nodded and said: "I can see that you are a trustworthy person, so I asked you for help, I hope you can help me find my family and bring me a letter to them, just be an old man's entrustment." "The language is weak.

Looking at this lonely and miserable old man, with a look of expectation in his eyes, Zhou Bo's heart was sour, and he nodded lightly and said, "After I come back from serving my sentence, I will look for your family for you." No matter where you go, I'll find it for you. If I die, I will also entrust the people to whom I have written to continue searching, and if they die, I will burn the letter to them. The words are sonorous and powerful, full of firmness.

When Li Yun heard this, tears unconsciously overflowed from the corners of his eyes. After many years of wishes, I was very excited for a while, and all the wrinkles on my face were relaxed. "Thank you, thank you......"

After a long while, Li Yun calmed down his excitement and said silently: "Little brother, in fact, I know that I am about to die......

Zhou Bo nodded and said, "Your life and breath are weak, and you are about to do it after many years of hard work, I can feel that your life is losing a little bit." ”

Li Yun was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect my little brother to know how to heal, you're right, I should have died many years ago, but I still have a wish to fulfill, so I have been insisting on living now, hoping to see my family for the last time."

But lately I've been feeling like I'm going to run out of things. I didn't expect you to come to my side at this time, maybe this is the arrangement of Providence. Then he took out something from his arms, wrapped it in oiled paper and handed it to Zhou Bodao: "This is my suicide note written in blood, if you see my family, please give this to them and tell them that I am sorry for them." ”

After receiving the suicide note, Li Yun leaned over to his son and said something softly......

"What?!" Zhou Bo was very shocked when he heard this, and asked, "Why don't you tell your relatives." ”

Li Yun sighed: "I have been ashamed of them all my life, and now I just want them to live a peaceful and happy life, this is my greatest wish." So I hope you don't tell them the secret either. ”

Zhou Bo nodded, in his opinion, a peaceful life may be the best choice.

……

"Little brother, I have something for you, which may be useful to you. Li Yun said to Zhou Bo.

"Back then, I rescued a great monk under the knife of the thief, and he was also one of the people in the rivers and lakes who came to kill the Japanese Kou, and he was an Arhat of the Dharma Hall of Shaolin Temple. But he didn't want to mention his own name, only that he was a sinner. Because his injuries were too severe at the time, and his heart was dead, he could not be treated.

Before he died, he gave me a jade Buddha, which was a token left by their patriarch Venerable Bodhidharma, and entrusted me to help him return it to Shaolin Temple. It's just that I couldn't get out of the war at that time, and after I returned to Kyoto, there were a series of accidents, so up to now, I have not been able to fulfill the master's last wish, and I am deeply ashamed! I hope that after you go out, you will return the Jade Buddha to the Shaolin Temple on my behalf, but I have fulfilled my promise back then. I'll tell you where the collection is, and you have to remember .......

……

Back then, the master gave me a scripture in return, and since I was not able to fulfill his entrustment, I will pass this scripture to you, which can be regarded as the master's reward for you.

This scripture is when he read the book in the Shaolin Temple Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, unintentionally appeared a "Diamond Sutra", this scripture is different from the "Diamond Sutra" passed down in the world, its full name is "Diamond Sutra of the Dragon Pole Nine Changes", it is an extremely powerful foreign kung fu, when I only practiced the first two layers to kill countless enemies on the battlefield, it can be seen that this foreign family is extraordinary.

There is no specific cultivation method for this set of kung fu, it depends on personal comprehension. Although this text is very simple, the meaning of the text is so profound that I have not been able to grasp the mystery of it for many years of study. The first part of the text is the 32 verses of the Diamond Sutra, but the second half of the text is unfamiliar and the sentences are very difficult to understand, and I basically can't understand it.

I'm running out of time right now. So I want you to listen to me carefully, try to remember, remember as much as you can, and don't interrupt me. ”

Becoming stronger has always been what Zhou Bo has been pursuing, but he has never had the cultivation method, so he can only rely on his own exploration until now. Listening to the Tao is the cultivation method of the foreign exercises, and his heart is very excited at this time, which is exactly what he needs. So he nodded lightly and memorized it attentively.

"The handmade man is silent, and if he is suspicious, he will be lost. Go straight up the mountain, and the willows and flowers are strange. Doing good is like climbing a hundred feet, it is easy to come down and difficult to come up. You must be diligent in doing your deeds, and you must be careful about people and beasts. Fast time cannot be left, and only the water flows eastward every year. If you don't believe it, try to take Qingling, the past is white............ The Buddha said that the Paramita Sutra has no past and no present. Note**Ghost Qidu, merit is like heaven and mobile. ………… The nine poles of self-cultivation have changed into dragon chanting, and the golden body has testified to heaven and earth. After silently reading more than a thousand words, seeing that Zhou Bozheng was silently remembering with his eyes closed, Li Yun let out a long sigh of relief, and his face was ruddy.

……

Zhou Bo comprehended the meaning of the scriptures while memorizing them, and when he memorized the last ten sentences, his brows became more and more furrowed, and finally opened his eyes and said: "These last few sentences are not familiar yet, but I have memorized them." ”

Li Yun was extremely surprised when he heard this, this more than 1,000-word "Diamond Sutra Dragon Extreme Nine Changes", it took him more than a month to fully remember, he didn't think that Zhou Bo just listened to him silently recite it all and remembered it all, although the last few sentences were not familiar, but he remembered them, how could this not surprise him, he looked at Zhou Bo in a daze and kept chanting: "Tianzhong talent, really Tianzhong talent!"

Zhou Bo didn't care if he was a genius or not, since he started the cultivation of spiritual power, he had seen that his mind was getting brighter and brighter, so it was nothing for him to memorize a thousand words. He closed it again and continued to recite silently, and after a while he said, "I know everything well, and I won't forget it." ”

Li Yun calmed down for a moment and said slowly: "This "Diamond Sutra: Dragon Extreme Nine Changes" needs to be comprehended by yourself, and I can't teach you anything, but I think the most important thing is the last ten verses. At that time, I only comprehended the first half of the scriptures, which referred to 'refining the body and cultivating the body', 'forging the muscles and refining the bones', and 'protecting the golden body', but I only cultivated to the point of 'forging the muscles and refining the bones', and I never made any progress. As for the next ten verses, I hope you can understand it, but it is a small regret for me. ”

"Grandpa Li, don't worry, I will. ”

Hearing Zhou Bo's title, Li Yun's heart was shocked, and he muttered with a confused face: "Grandpa!

"Yes, Grandpa Li. Zhou Bo affirmed.

"Hahahaha-"

Li Yun laughed and said: "I also have relatives, I didn't expect that I could have relatives with me before I died, haha......"

……

It only takes one or two days to travel from the county seat of Ningxian to the yamen of the Criminal Department in Shangjing, and it will take about four or five days to return after the document is approved.

Zhou Bo had been in the iron prison for two days, and during this time, he did not practice selflessly as before, but kept accompanying the old man next door, and only started to cultivate after he rested.

"I remember another very dangerous time, a small pair of Japanese robbers sneaked into the city from the coast, disguised as ordinary people, to inquire about the military situation. I sent the eyeliner in the city at that time to arrest them all, and it took many methods to learn from him that a large number of their reinforcements were coming. So a few brothers and I set up traps and oil along the road, and in the end, we killed them without leaving a piece of armor, so it was not happy! Haha......

Later, we pursued them until the sea, and then we annihilated them all. But at this moment, the ship was blown up, and several brothers were directly blown up on the ship, and although I was lucky enough not to die, I was trapped in the middle of the ship, and there was nothing with me except a raft......

Two days later, they drifted to an isolated island. But this place is desolate, and there are not even a single bird or beast......

I spent five days on the island before my subordinates found me......"

……

Zhou Bo listened carefully to every story told by Li Yun, not only greatly increased his knowledge, but also learned many things that he had not touched before: survival at sea, rescue on an isolated island, mentality during battle and psychological changes of the enemy, etc. However, what interests me the most is the method of killing the formation on the battlefield, such as the Eight Formation Diagram, the Seven Killing Array, the Star Scattering Array, the Mandarin Duck Array, etc., which is very different from the traps used in hunting, which makes him feel that he has benefited a lot and has a great enlightenment in the trap technique.

Li Yun can be said to be experienced and experienced on the battlefield, Zhou Bo listened and asked for advice, like a sponge, he kept absorbing this knowledge, writing it down if he thought it was useful, and throwing it aside if it was useless.

……

In the small thatched hut on the hillside, Zhou Tanzuo was sharpening wooden arrows with a dagger on the bed, and muttered in his heart: "It's been three days since Xiaobo left, even if he was left by Su Lao for the New Year, he should come back now, there shouldn't be any accidents." ”

Two days ago, Xiao Ya'er came to him and asked him if Zhou Bo had brought the osmanthus cake back, but later saw that Zhou Bo had not come back, so he ran away angrily, making him confused.

So many days have passed, but Zhou Boren has not come back, he knows that Zhou Bo is a sensible child, and he will not leave for a long time without saying hello like this. Since the last time he practiced for a month without making a sound, Zhou Bo had promised not to let his father worry like this, but now that there was no news for three days, how could he not worry. Even if Zhou Bo performed very well in all aspects, in Zhou Tan's eyes, he was still only a fifteen-year-old child after all.

The more I thought about it, the more worried I became, and when I was restless, "Squeak!" The knife cut the index finger of my left hand, and the blood dripped quietly on the ground, Zhou Tan frowned, put his finger in his mouth, and got up and walked outside the house.

"Master Zhou, Master Zhou! Oh no, no, Brother Zhou Bo has an accident...... As soon as I went out, I heard someone shouting.

Zhou Tan's heart was shocked, and he ...... for a while

A strong sense of uneasiness came over me. So he hurriedly stepped forward.

The person who came was Xiao Tear of Su Ji Teahouse, Zhou Tan had met him a few times, and he naturally recognized it. "Hello Master Zhou, Master Su asked me to make a special trip to find you......"

Zhou Tan waved his hand and interrupted: "Tell me directly, what happened to Xiaobo, what happened now." ”

The little guy hurriedly said: "Brother Zhou Bo was arrested by the people of the Yamen, there is no danger, but I heard that he will be confiscated." ”

Zhou Tan heard that his child was not in danger for the time being, and his hanging heart was also put down, so he dropped the work in his hand and said: "Let's go, let's go to the teahouse in the city first." After saying that, he hurried down the mountain, and the poor little guy had just climbed up but wanted to go down, but he still reluctantly followed.

Zhou Tandu was amazing, and he rushed to the city quickly, but the little guy's physical strength had already been used up, and he couldn't walk anymore, so he gasped and said: "Master Zhou... You go first... I'll just go back myself. ”

Seeing this, Zhou Tan immediately fell back, didn't say anything, carried him on his shoulders, and continued to rush forward quickly.

……

In Ningxian County, in the inner hall of Suji Teahouse, the little girl was pale and said weakly: "Master...... Zhou Ye came to ...... and wanted to talk, but his mind was dizzy, and he felt like vomiting in his heart, and he couldn't say anything. However, he secretly swore in his heart that he would never let Zhou Tan carry it on his shoulders in the future.

Hearing this, Su Fanghao hurriedly came out of the back hall, and said to the little servant with a relaxed expression: "You go down to rest first, it's really hard for you." After speaking, the little guy hurriedly retired and left, leaving only Zhou Tan and Su Fanghao in the hall.

Zhou Tan's son was anxious, so he hurriedly asked, "Old Su, what happened to Xiaobo, what's going on?"

Su Fanghao pulled Zhou Tan to sit down and said, "Don't worry, Xiaobo is not in danger now, sit down and talk about it." ”

"In the past few days, everyone here has been discussing a white boy, and I found out that Xiaobo had an accident when I inquired. Three days ago, after Xiaobo left me, he went to East Street......" and then clearly recounted the events of the day.

"Smack!" slapped the palm on the table, and the squaking table swelled. Zhou Tan stood up suddenly, his fists clenched, and the cold light in his eyes flashed with anger: "These bastards, is there really no royal law?"

It was the first time for Su Fanghao to see such a big fire in Zhou Tan, he was stunned for a moment, and then reassured: "Zhou Tan, let's dissipate the gas first, and we will think about it in the long run." ”

Zhou Tan also felt that at this time, he should stay calm, so he sat down again and asked, "Can we go to Kyoto to file a complaint?" ”

Su Fanghao shook his head and said, "I have been in this city for several years, and I know the situation here relatively well. As far as I know, Ningxian County is a place under the joint jurisdiction of several imperial court forces, and the relationship between the powerful and powerful is very complicated.

This is a treasure gathering place for several major forces in the court, there are many rich people, and they are protected by the power of the imperial court, as long as you have more money, the safer you are. So they will never deal with these rich people for such a trivial matter. Even if you can sue Kyoto, there is chaos in the DPRK and China, and it is basically impossible to sue. Alas!"......

After speaking, he sighed heavily.

Zhou Tan pondered for a moment and asked, "Now how are they going to sentence Xiaobo for his crime? If they ask for money, I will find a way." ”

Su Fanghao shook his head and said, "They are going to sentence Xiao Bo to serve in the army for four years and go to the border wasteland to do hard labor." If it's just money, that's not a problem, I still have some savings here. But although their sentence is not very heavy, it is not money that can solve the problem. Especially here, there are also the young masters of the Cai family and the sons of the Zhao family. ”

Zhou Tan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, his face was angry, and the anger in his heart could no longer be expressed in words. After trying to control his emotions, he asked, "Is there any other way to save Xiaobo?"

Su Fanghao thought about it, but still shook his head and said: "Unless the young master of the Cai family and the son of the Zhao family are willing to let Xiaobo go, there is really no other way to think about it." ”

Zhou Tan snorted coldly: "If they refuse to let Xiaobo go, then I will rob the prison, and it's a big deal that we will fly away." ”

Su Fanghao hurriedly dissuaded: "Don't be so impulsive, if you fail, then you and Xiaobo will both be sentenced to death." Even if you can rescue Xiaobo, what if you really want to live that kind of outlaw life? I think it's better to wait until I see Xiaobo, even if I plan for the worst, he will come back four years after being conscripted, it's better than the end of the outlaw. You've got to think about it!"
