Chapter Ninety-One: Back to the Rivers and Lakes
It is said that when Fuju heard that Liu Zhiyuan was coming, he went out of the city to follow the officials of the two capitals to Xin'an to greet him, since he never expected that he had just arrived at Xin'an Hangu Pass, and the Hedong vanguard team also happened to be proud from Hangu Pass, and walked out of Luoyang, and Fuju and others hurriedly hid on both sides of the road.
It is said that when they were standing on the side of the road waiting for Liu Zhiyuan's arrival, the sentence "Master Fuju" The shouting came out from the Hedong team, and suddenly made him surprised, he didn't understand how someone in the army in Hedong called his name, and couldn't help but look at the sound, when he saw at a glance that the person shouting on the tall horse was not someone else, but Guo Wei, who had saved his life twice, although he already knew that Guo Wei was under Liu Zhiyuan, but he never expected to meet him here, arrogant and overjoyed, ecstatic, instantly, he couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, and immediately shouted, "Wen Zhong, it turned out to be you, Then he happily walked over.
But said that the person who shouted was Guo Weiye, and he didn't expect to see Fuju here, when he saw Fuju in a robe, he didn't believe it, so he shouted boldly in the past, never thought that it would really be Fuju, and the heroic Guo Wei saw Fuju coming to him, he led the horse to move forward, randomly turned over and dismounted, and immediately greeted him.
After the two met and exchanged polite greetings, Fuju couldn't hold back the joy in his heart and asked, "Wen Zhong, how are you doing all these years?"
"It's okay, it's reasonable," Guo Wei recounted the matter of the Eastern and Western Wars in the past few years, and now that he has been promoted to the rank of Privy Envoy and Inspector Situ.
When Fuju heard that after several years of unremitting and tenacious struggle, he was now the deputy privy councillor, and he was so happy that he couldn't help but praise him again and again.
It is said that Guo Wei was surprised when he saw Fuju dressed as a monk, and then asked, "Alas, master, I haven't seen you all these years, how are you doing, how are you doing now?"
"Alas, it's hard to say," Fuju then pinched his head and tail, to make a long story short, after telling his own situation over the years, he introduced Zhou Chengming and them to the past.
When Zhou Chengming and Guo Dongxu heard this, they immediately stepped forward to pay their respects.
It is said that after Guo Wei listened to Fuju's narration and understood why they were here, after meeting Zhou Chengming and Guo Dongxu, facing Zhou Chengming and Guo Dongxu, they immediately had an idea of incorporating them into their subordinates, and immediately recommended them after Liu Zhiyuan moved to Luoyang.
Liu Zhiyuan, a native of Taiyuan, Hedong, is calm and solemn, not good at playing, when he was a teenager, it was Li Keyong, Li Cunqiao father and son divided Taiyuan, and Zhu Wen competed for the world, the family was poor, he had no meal after eating, there was no food and grass inside, no rescuers outside, he was poor, helpless, unwilling to suffer for a lifetime, he took refuge under Li Siyuan and became a soldier, because of the courage to fight, not to die in battle, he was promoted to a partial general, at that time, Shi Jingjiao was also Li Siyuan's general, in the battle, Liu Zhiyuan once disregarded his own life and death, rescued Shi Jingjiao twice, Shi Jingjiao felt and loved, and his protection and support meritorious, so he asked Li Siyuan to keep him under his account, became a Yamen capital colonel, and became Shi's cronies.
Liu Zhiyuan relied on his own fearlessness of the sky and the earth, and his heroism, he won quite a lot of military achievements in the battle, and slowly rose from the Yamen Colonel step by step, and finally moved to Wenyang in the three years of the Later Tang Dynasty, and was promoted to the commander of the Ma Bu Army. In the same year, when Shi Jingjiao and the deposed emperor Li Congke struggled, he made suggestions to help Shi Jingjiao eliminate the Later Tang Dynasty and win the world.
After the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty, Liu Zhiyuan, with his military and political talents and the merits of his life, successively served as the commander of the school inspection, the commander of the guard Ma Budu, the inspection of the guards of the six armies, the envoy of the Xuzhou Festival, the envoy of the Zhuzhou Festival, the Taifu of the inspection school, the Beijing stay-behind, and the envoy of the Hedong Festival.
When Shi Chonggui ascended the throne, Liu Zhiyuan was promoted to the Taishi of the school, the king of Beiping, and became the Zhongshu Lingye.
Riding a donkey and a mule and thinking about a horse, the prime minister of the official residence wanted to be a prince, when the Khitan lord Yelu Deguang led the army south, and the army arrived in Lanzhou, Liu Zhiyuan, who intended to dominate Hedong and achieve the royal industry, so, since the edict of Shi Chonggui Yang Feng Yin violated, half pushed and half on it, in the attack on Yelu Deguang, in order to preserve the strength, either to defend the border, stay and not enter, or attack indiscriminately.
When the Later Jin Dynasty fell, Liu Zhiyuan in order to find out the situation of the opportunity, and to deal with it, randomly sent the general Wang Jun to congratulate the victory in the name of going to Bianliang to inspect the situation, when he learned that the Khitans burned, killed and looted, very unpopular, must not occupy the Central Plains for a long time, he was determined to dominate, and then discussed with his subordinates about the establishment of the country.
After some deliberation, Liu Zhiyuan saw the opportunity, and with the announcement of the establishment of the Great Liao State in Yelu Deguang, on the fifteenth day of the same month of the same year, he proclaimed himself emperor in Taiyuan and established the Later Han regime.
Then, when he saw that the Khitans were forced to retreat north under the continuous resistance of the people in the Central Plains, he listened to Guo Wei's suggestion of "Fenshui went south to take Henan, and then mapped the world", and ordered Shi Hongzhao to be the vanguard.
As for how Guo Wei did Liu Zhiyuan's subordinates, this is not surprising, Guo Wei didn't start to be a tooth soldier under Li Jitao, after Li Jitao's demise, he entered Li Cunqiao's Ma Zhi, and then, in the change of dynasty for many years, followed Shi Jingjiao when attacking Zhu Shouyin's rebellion, because he was the first to go to the city, after getting Shi Jingjiao's appreciation, Shi Jingjiao summoned Guo Wei to his account when he was promoted to deputy guard, and ordered him to take charge of the army. As a result, Guo Wei had a relationship with Liu Zhiyuan. When Fan Yanguang rebelled against Wei and ordered Yang Guangyuan to ask for it, and asked Guo Wei to follow, Guo Wei did not forgive. Shi Jingjiao and the ministers were surprised, and immediately inquired, "Guo Wei, Yang Gong is a major honorable in the dynasty, why don't you follow him?" Guo Wei said: "Your Majesty, that Yang Gong is not heroic, I can't be reused under him, and the one who can use me is Liu Gongye." So, there is now a situation where Guo Wei is leading troops to fight the front station.
It is said that Liu Zhiyuan not only likes and trusts Guo Wei, but also regards him as a confidant, and takes him with him wherever he goes, and lets him lead the pro-army. When they knew that Zhou Chengming and Guo Dongxu were responding to the holy decree, they spontaneously defended the place and armed the rebel army against Liao, and they were also Guo Wei's junior brothers, they were happy, and immediately rewarded Zhou Chengming in person, and Guo Dongxu and the two were the main and deputy Luoyang patrol captains, and ordered them to continue to maintain order in Luoyang.
After Liu Zhiyuan saw Li Congyi's descent, he pondered about his situation and made a disposal plan, and then summoned Guo Congyi, the defense envoy of Zhengzhou, to come to him and ordered him to go face to face.
However, it is said that after Guo Congyi was ordered to lead the troops to Bianliang, he led the troops to surround the house of Li Congyi's mother and son according to Liu Zhiyuan's intentions, and randomly forced Li Congyi's mother and son to commit suicide.
That Wang Youmei never thought that Liu Zhiyuan would treat himself like this, he was unwilling, and fought with reason, however, his arms couldn't twist his thighs, and in the end he couldn't save his life, and he committed suicide with his son Li Congyi.
It is said that after Guo Congyi disposed of Li Congyi's mother and son, he was not slow, and randomly sent someone to report Liu Zhiyuan.
However, he said that after Liu Zhiyuan found out, he was very happy, and in view of the fact that there was no chief official in Luoyang, he immediately transferred Li Congmin to Xijing to stay in Xijing, and then drove east to Tokyo.
When the hundred officials of Bianliang heard this, they did not slow down, and in order to curry favor, they immediately went to Xingyang to greet them.
In view of the current situation, in order to save his life, the Liao general Liu Zuo also went to Xingyang to welcome him.
It is said that Liu Zhiyuan entered Bianliang, and the Golden Palace accepted the congratulations of the hundred officials, changed Bianliang to Tokyo, and the country name was Dahan.
For a time, the Quartet congratulated the tables, one after another, and there was an endless stream. Self-contained.
After Fuju saw Guo Wei and they went to Tokyo, he instructed Zhou Chengming, Guo Dongxu and they obeyed Guo Wei's orders from now on, their hearts were calm, they had no worries, and they felt that they had no enemies.
Here, let's not talk about how Guo Wei arrived in Kaifeng. Don't talk about Zhou Chengming, Guo Dongxu, how they are in Luoyang. But after returning to Shaolin Temple from Luoyang, after a period of rest, after recovering his physical fitness, he went to teach the monks in the temple kung fu wholeheartedly.
Time is like an arrow, time is like a shuttle, unconsciously, in the blink of an eye, a year has passed, it is another spring flower, the season of thousands of purples and reds, and it is the sky in April again.
It is said that on this day, after the Fuju instructor taught the monks kung fu, he sat down to rest, and in the conversation with Qingjing and others, he unconsciously talked about kung fu.
“.......”
"Master, who did you learn your kung fu from?"
"Well, at that time, there was an old gentleman surnamed Guo in our village, who knew some kung fu, and he would exercise every morning, because I loved it, I got up early every day, hid in the dark and secretly imitated and practiced, and then Mr. Guo knew, so he took the initiative to teach me kung fu, and then joined the army, and after the head of the sect they pointed, and then had the current ability. ”
"So that's the case, master, so your kung fu is not easy to come by. ”
"Of course, as the saying goes, if you don't experience wind and rain, how can you meet a rainbow, think about it, if I hadn't been competitive and had to get ahead, I wouldn't be here today. ”
"Master, when you are young, everyone has a time of excitement. ”
"Alas, master, speaking of kung fu, you have seen a lot, and now the name of the Central Plains is not Cui, Zheng, Wang, Ma, Yang, Meng, Sun, Jin, Huang, Tan, Liu, Lin, Yan, Gao, Guo, Li, Zhao, Wen, these more than ten people, they all boast that their kung fu has been perfected and reached the peak, do you think they can be called the first?"
"For kung fu, only comparison can determine the level of the level, I look at their kung fu to catch the wind and shadows, hearsay, this is not easy to say. ”
“......”
"Speaking of kung fu, it originated from ancient dynasties, and scattered in thousands of households, but because almost all of them were not recorded into books, and the teaching was passed on orally, plus the male is not passed on to the female, the inside is not passed on, although the dynasties and generations have increased, but there are still many missing. Otherwise, there would be no such phenomenon of literati lacking martial arts and martial arts essays...... Speaking of the temple itself does not have their own kung fu, and you practice kung fu, just like me, brought out, itself is incomplete, therefore, this is why you practice martial arts, there are no books to refer to this situation, to be honest, now I want to invite all those who know martial arts all over the world to the temple, and then, learn from each other, in order to learn from each other's strengths, choose the good and follow, to improve our kung fu. And compile those kung fu into a book, so that the latter can use it for martial arts. ”
"Master, this idea of yours is great, but now Li Shouzhen in the river and Zhao Siwan in Chang'an have rebelled again, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to complete it. ”
"I know this very well, for Li Shouzhen, Wang Jingchong and their rebellion, hasn't the imperial court already sent Bai Wenke, Guo Congyi, and Chang Si to crusade, I believe it won't be long before it will be pacified. ”
"This is also, master, when are you going to invite them?"
"Of course, the sooner the better, and as for when, let me think about it, it won't be long before it will be executed. "It is said that Fuju had this idea for the collection and compilation of martial arts books, but because the situation at the time did not allow him to act willfully, so he has not been silent, and now he unintentionally said, and thought that he is already fifty or sixty years old, if he does not implement it as soon as possible, the time is running out, the sense of urgency of seizing the day, since the birth of the sudden, after seeing the apprentices get up and continue to practice, then meditate and think.
After seven or eight days of thinking, Fuju decided to personally go out and invite people from all over the world to practice martial arts, and after coming to Shaolin Temple to compete in martial arts, he randomly called Lingqiu, Zhisheng and Lingzhi, who could write and paint, and also had this idea in their hearts, to greet him, express his thoughts, and ask them for advice.
But said that Lingqiu, a native of Jinling, was in his thirties and nineties, with a round face and big ears, a straight nose and a square mouth, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a height of seven and a half feet.
Zhisheng, a native of Jiangxia, thirty-five or sixteen years old, was born with dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, bright teeth and red lips, eight feet tall, and a good kung fu grappling technique.
Lingzhi, Dengfeng people, thirty-four or five years old, seven feet tall, born with a handsome face, a sven physique, eighteen kinds of martial arts, and he knows everything, and the best ability is to draw with a pen.
It is said that after the three of Lingqiu understood the meaning of Fuju, they had already had this idea, and without saying a word, they randomly agreed with each other.
It is said that after Fuju saw the full support of the three of them, his heart was more satisfied, and he randomly told all the monks in the temple that he was going to personally invite all the people who practice martial arts from all over the world to Shaolin Temple to compete in martial arts.
After hearing about the first of their four major classes and the eight deacons, they couldn't help but be taken aback, and never thought that a few days after life had just settled down, Fuju would have to go out to find something to do.
Fuju knows the meaning of the monks' persuasion, all for their own good, but in order to complete their wishes, they are still determined to go, "Everyone, don't persuade, I know your good intentions, and I also know that I have just settled down, lived a good life in the past few days, and knows that the road ahead will never be smooth, but for the collection and compilation of martial arts books, that is my wish for many years, if not completed, now I am traveling every day, not doing anything, I also eat and drink fragrant." ”
"Master Abbot, if you insist on going, then we won't say much, don't worry, as long as those who are invited come, we will definitely entertain them well. ”
"Okay, then I'll thank you in advance," Fuju didn't say anything more after seeing that everyone agreed.
"Abbot, when are you going to set off and invite the martial arts masters there?"
"Well, I'm going to leave tomorrow and go to Heshuo first. ”
"Okay, then we'll send you tomorrow. ”
The next day, under the first seat and others, Fuju led the apprentices Lingzhi, Lingqiu, Zhisheng, as well as Wuwei and Lichen, and a group of six people left the temple and went to Gongxian along the rugged mountain road of Yuyuan Pass.
Not to mention the four major class leaders, the eight deacons in Fuju after leaving how to manage the temple, but said that the six people of Fuju since leaving the Shaolin Temple, to avoid hunger and thirst, night stay Xiaoxing, from the Tiger Prison Pass there after crossing the Yellow River, all the way to inquire about the invitation to invite the martial artists along the way, not a day, then to the county seat of Hanoi, Huaizhou Prefecture, six people to see that it was late, found an inn to stay, after resting for a night, the next morning after breakfast, randomly left the county, to the northeast of the county, from the city has more than ten miles of the south bank of the Qin River Linjiazhuang, visit the martial arts master Lin Yun.
The Qin River is located in the north of the county, and it flows into the Yellow River from west to southeast. Linjiazhuang is located on the south bank of the Qinhe River, facing the south and north, all around are towering trees, and the surrounding scenery is beautiful and beautiful.
The six people of Fuju went all the way to the front of the village in a hurry, and saw that there was no one at the door of the village, so they immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door, while shouting "open the door, open the door, open the door".
Not long after, but saw a thirty-year-old Zhuang Ke open the door and walked out of it, when he saw that the six people of Fucheng were all dressed as monks, he was surprised and puzzled, and immediately asked, "Who are you, what is the matter with calling the door?"
Fuju hurriedly saluted and said: "I can't hide it, I am still the abbot of Shaolin Temple surnamed Fumingju, and I am here to find your owner Lin Yun, please inform me." ”
"Yes, that's the case, and please wait a little while I report to the owner. When the villager heard this, he did not slack off, and went to the village gate with the organ, and went in to report.
That Lin Yun is forty-two or three years old, eight feet tall, ten girth wide waist, born with a round face and big ears, a straight nose and a square mouth, wearing a white practice clothes, is in the backyard to guide his only son Lin Jian and his apprentices to practice kung fu, suddenly heard it, for the name of Fuju, although I have already heard it, but I have never seen it, and now I suddenly heard it, I was surprised, I don't understand why Fuju came here at this time, I pondered for a moment, and said, "You go and invite them in, I will change my clothes and come," After that, he turned around and went back to his room to change his clothes.
When the farmer heard this, he didn't hesitate, and immediately turned around and invited the six people of Fuju to enter the village.
When Fuju heard this, he did not slow down, followed the villager, and walked into Linjiazhuang.
Lin Yun had already changed his clothes, and when he saw the arrival of the six people from Fuju, he immediately greeted him with a smile after seeing who Fuju was, "Master Fu, I have heard the name for a long time, and I can't imagine that I can see it today, which is really a blessing for three lives." ”
Fuju saw it, "Master Lin, you are modest and have won the award, but you are really not as good as you." ”
"Master Fu, be humble, please come to the house, serve tea, serve good tea. ”
After the six people of Fuju entered the living room, they were polite, and after the guests sat down to drink tea, Fuju bluntly told his intentions, that is, to invite him to Shaolin Temple to try martial arts, and told them in 1510.
When Lin Yun, who was bold, understood that he wanted to go to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts with people who know martial arts in the world, and when he competed, he didn't say a word, and immediately agreed happily, "Okay, no problem, Master Fu, don't worry, I will be on time at the appointed time." ”
Fuju never expected that the first time would be so smooth, his heart was very happy, and the heart of invitation was even more sufficient, seeing that the time was already noon, he got up and said goodbye: "Master Lin, the matter is settled, when the time comes, let's see you in Shaolin Temple, we will go." ”
"Master Fu, what are you panicking about, it's already noon, and it's not too late to leave after lunch," Lin Yuhan saw it, and was willing to let him go, so he immediately dissuaded him.
"No, no, no, Master Lin, thank you for your kindness, we are leaving," Lingqiu and the others politely declined, and stood up randomly.
"What to go, when you get to my house, you won't even eat a meal, and it will be spread out in the future, how can I, Lin Yun, gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes, don't say anything now, after eating this lunch, how do you want to go, I will never force you to stay, you sit, come, eat," Lin Yun was willing to let them go, raised his steps to block the door, and immediately ordered the Zhuang guest to serve wine and food.
When the dealer heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately put the wine, food, fruits and seafood that had been prepared on the table.
"Don't, don't, don't," Fuju saw that Zhuang Ke didn't listen to dissuasion at all, and after putting the meal on the table, it was difficult to be gracious, seeing that he couldn't push it, and he couldn't stick to it, so he agreed, "I'm really embarrassed, even if Master Lin insists on asking, then we might as well obey our orders respectfully." Then he sat back down.
Lin Yun saw that the wine and food were all ready, and after the wine glass was poured, he raised the wine glass as he got up, "Master Fu, in a hurry, there is no preparation, the wine is light and thin, please Haihan." ”
"Master Lin, look at what you said, although we are monks, we are also people who practice martial arts, and we don't pay so much attention to it. ”
"Master Fu, I'm clumsy, and I don't know what to say, so I'll drink it first. Lin Yun raised his wine glass as he spoke, and drank three glasses in a row.
"Master Lin, look at you, to be honest, as monks, we were not allowed to drink alcohol or eat meat, but now that you are so real, in order to show our sincerity and thank you for your refreshing appointment, we will make an exception today," Fuju said, picking up his wine glass, and drank three glasses in a row.
Lingqiu, Zhisheng, Lingzhi, and Wu Wei saw it, and immediately followed suit, and drank three cups in a row.
Lin Yun was happy, and as he picked up the chopsticks, he beckoned Fuju and them to eat and eat.
The six people of Fuju are not polite, and as they pick up the chopsticks, they can eat and chat for lunch.
The book is not tired, the words are not heavy, it is said that the six people of Fuju were hospitalized by Lin Yun, and after lunch, they decided to invite all the people as soon as possible and in the shortest possible time, and then randomly bid farewell to Lin Yun and left the Lin Mansion.
Although Lin Yun was a little reluctant, he knew that they still had to go to Hedong, Daimyo and other places to invite others, so he didn't feel sorry for him, so he sent Fuju and them away, and after watching Fuju and them cross the Qin River by boat, they were reluctant to go home.
Not to mention how Lin Yun returned home, how to contact other martial arts people, and how to discuss going to Shaolin. But after they crossed the Qin River and got off the boat, a group of six people decided to go to Luzhou and Taiyuan, where the route was not easy to take, and then invited the Wulin people there.
Wanshan City is located in the north of the city twenty miles, because it is located at the southern end of the Taihang starting point, the geographical location is very important.
After they arrived at Wanshan City, they saw that it was already a little dark, so they found an inn to live in.
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, the six people got up from the bed one after another, and after a busy work to freshen up and eat breakfast, and prepare the food and water on the road, the six people left the inn and went out to the north to Taihang.
Taihang Cheng, also known as Taihang Road, south from Huaizhou, north to Zezhou, from Hanoi Hantai Village, Shanwangzhuang Village into the mountain in the shape of a herringbone, to Changping where the zigzag of the submission goes north, the total length is more than 100 miles, the Taihang Road of three steps wide, although it is in the peaks and peaks, between the mountains and mountains of the ravines and ravines, winding and coiling, just like the sheep's intestines are difficult to walk, but because of the north to the Beijing Division, the Nantong Heluo, the geographical location is very important, since ancient times, it has been a place for soldiers to fight.
However, he said that Fuju was familiar with the situation of Taihang Cheng because he had walked many times before, so he left the inn and led Zhisheng and Lingqiu to enter Taihang Road from Shanwangzhuang, and then went to Zezhou. A group of six people were on the road, hungry and thirsty, staying at night, not a day, and arrived at the city of Zezhou.
Zezhou, known as "Hedong Pinghan, Taihang Shouchong, Heshuo throat," because of its dangerous geographical location, is located in the key rush of Jinyu succession, and has always been a place for soldiers to fight.
It is said that after the six people of Fuju entered the city, they had no intention of watching the lively situation of the three cities and six streets in the city, and found an inn at random, and after staying and resting for one night, the next day, after breakfast, the six people went separately to visit and invite the local famous martial arts practitioners, Ma Hualong, Ma Tengyun, Li Yiyi, and Liu Cheng.
But said that Fuju in the invitation to visit everywhere, when suddenly thought of Zhang Congbin, randomly went to Zhangjiazhuang alone to visit Zhang Congbin's parents, into the village, when he learned that Zhang Congbin's parents had already been a few years ago, he had no intention of visiting, turned around and left Zhangjiazhuang randomly, and was busy with his own affairs.
It is said that after the local martial arts practitioners received the invitation letter from Fuju, they were competitive and competitive, in order to make a name for themselves and glorify the court, without saying a word, they immediately agreed to come down and participate in the meeting.
Fuju and the others were very happy, after more than ten days of running around, all the martial arts practitioners in Zezhou were invited, and after seeing everyone rubbing their hands one by one, they were willing to go to the competition and competition, and then went to Luzhou at random and invited the martial arts practitioners there.
Luzhou is located in the north of Zezhou, because according to the top of Taihang, the terrain is the highest, so it is also called Shangdang, because of its dangerous terrain, since ancient times it is a place where soldiers must fight, known as "the party can hope to get the Central Plains".
However, it was said that the six people of Fuju arrived, entered Luzhou City, borrowed and stayed in the Baoyu Temple in the city, and after a short rest, they invited the local martial arts practitioners to go with the non-stop separate visits.
It is said that the local famous martial arts practitioners such as Chen Bo, Yan Lei, Yang Kui, etc., have long heard of the great name of Fuju, since the thunder, after receiving the invitation letter, in order to win the first place, and the glory of the ancestors, fame, random to run in all directions, contact the local famous martial arts practitioners, discuss how to compete in the former Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts. The list will not be detailed for the time being.
Fuju took advantage of the invitation to pay a visit, and went to Changle Village to see that his son Zhang Bicheng had married and had children, and Chang Yong, Yu Deshui and others, some joined the army, and some worked in the family and farmed, and when they had settled down, their hearts were suddenly put down, and they were not alarmed, disturbed them, and left to go back.
However, it was said that the six people of Fuju got up early and were greedy for darkness, and after more than ten days of running around, they invited to visit the people who practiced martial arts around Luzhou Fangyuan, and then left Luzhou City and went to Taiyuan.
In the middle of June, although the sun has not yet reached the time of fire, it is still hot and breathless by noon.
The six people of Fuju left Luzhou, inquired along the way and invited people who practiced martial arts, avoided the scorching sun, and slowly walked to Bingzhou, hungry and thirsty along the way, staying at night and traveling at night, not a day, and arrived in front of Jinyang City.
Taiyuan, also known as Jinyang, and Zhou, surrounded by mountains on three sides, its scale is larger than Tokyo Bianliang, is a famous ancient city of "controlling the mountains and rivers, standing on the shoulders of the world, rushing to the four stops, and controlling the capital of the five plains".
Fuju six people have to come into the city, for the three cities and six streets, are people coming and going, the scene of busy traffic, since unintentionally watching, find a temple to live, after a night of rest, with the early morning greedy dark, running around, invite the local famous martial arts practitioners, such as Meng Chao, Guo Shuo, Zhang Xuan and others to come.
Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
It is said that the six people of Fuju got up early and greedy for darkness, after more than 20 days of running around, after sending an invitation letter to the people who practiced martial arts in Bingzhou City, seeing that the time had entered the middle of August, in order to invite more people, after some total, it was decided to take the road back to Shaolin Temple in Yiguan, and then went south along the Fen River.
Fen River, also known as Fen Shui, is said to originate from the Leiming Temple Spring at the foot of Guanshui Mountain in Phoenix, flowing through Ningwu, Jingle, Lou Fu, Gujiao, Bingzhou, Qingxu, Wenshui, Xiaoyi, Qixian, Pingyao, Jiexiu, Lingshi, Huozhou, Hongdong, Yaodu, Xiangfen, Quwo, Jiangzhou, Jishan, Longmen and other more than 20 counties, from Ronghe Town, Fenyin County, under the jurisdiction of Hezhong Prefecture, into the Yellow River, the surging Fen River, all the way through thorns and thorns, like a wild horse that escapes, no one can stop it.
Fuju six people along the Fenshui, hungry and thirsty, night stay Xiaoxing, walk Qingxu, through the Lingshi, through Huozhou, Luhong Cave, along the way to all kinds of practitioners to distribute invitations, this day at dusk, far away to see the Jiangzhou City that sits in the north and faces south, the eight-storey high Longxing Temple Tower, saw the Jiangzhou City also.
Longxing Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty, because the temple base is towering, condescending, in the city of Jiangzhou self-superior, as if standing out from the crowd, especially prominent.
However, it was said that after the six people of Fuju hurried into the city, they saw that the sky was dark, and they were afraid that they would sleep on the streets, so they did not ask others about the path, and immediately went directly to Longxing Temple to stay in Longxing Temple according to the location of the tower of Longxing Temple.
On the street, there are very few pedestrians, in addition to eating and drinking in front of the store, there are still people coming and going, outside the market, as for other stalls, it has long been cold, no one cares.
The six people of Fuju beat around the bush and walked in the direction of Longxing Temple in a hurry, just when they were about to arrive at Longxing Temple, suddenly, a burst of ridicule and scolding mixed with scolding came out of an inn in front of them, and the six people who were about to pass by were surprised, followed by the crowd of onlookers, and stepped forward to see what was going on.
But I saw the owner and his wife of the inn jumping horizontally, jumping eight feet vertically, like a shrew scolding the street, a red face, a white face, you say, I say, foaming at the mouth, words sharply to a red-faced man sitting at the door of the store as if begging for money to live in the hotel,
And the red-faced man was sickly, with a sickly face, and in response to the aggressive situation, he was not only embarrassed, but also coughed continuously.
“...... You are a dignified nine-foot man, what did you say when you came to the hotel for dinner, and now you are asked to settle the bill, what do you say that there is no money, you have no money, you have spoken earlier,...... Don't think that I'm a bully, if you don't give money today, I will never spare you. ”
"Boss, listen to me, I have no intention of playing tricks on you, nor do I mean to deceive you, and you also know that since I lived with you on the day of the heavy rain last month, I have been sick, and all the money I have with me now has been spent on medical treatment, so you can take pity on me, and when I get better, I will not lose half of your penny." ”
"Now there is less you don't want to give, if you continue to owe it, then more, you will be more heartbroken. ”
"Boss, I'm not that kind of person, you are in the grace period for a few days, and when I get better, I will repay it twice. ”
"Okay, don't say anything nice, a few more days? You're not a local, and no one will give you a guarantee, so what's the matter when you're completely cured, what if you don't know your life well in this place, if you pat your ass and leave at night, while we're not paying attention, where can I find you?"
"Boss, don't underestimate people too much, although I, Zhao Kuangyin, am not a famous person, but I am also a man who stands up to the sky and goes north and south, and will never do such dirty things. ”
"Okay, Zhao Kuangyin, you must know that it is because we believe in you that we let you live in the hotel first, and did not let you pay the money first, if you didn't believe you at the beginning, you won't be in arrears, you owe it now, don't be at ease in getting cheap, it's all your own doing. ”
"Boss, you don't know my situation, now I don't even have the money to see a doctor and take medicine, how do you let me settle the bill, you are in the grace period, and when the time comes, I will definitely repay you double." ”
“......”
"This ,......" is a penny difficult for a hero, Zhao Kuangyin has no relatives and nothing, for a while, he is in dire straits, he doesn't know how to solve it, sighing, can't help coughing again and again.
"Zhao Kuangyin, it is a matter of course to repay debts, it's not that we want to force you, and now I have encountered a situation like yours several times, you have to give it today, otherwise, you won't eat dinner today. ”
“......”
It is said that Fujudang learned from their dialogue and the private conversation of the neighbors that the red-faced man surnamed Zhao Kuangyin, the word Yuen Long, a native of Luoyang, because the money was spent and the disease was not cured, and the shopkeeper was afraid of the bamboo basket to draw water, so he came to such a place.
"Master, you ask about this, it's not much, he came to the small shop on July 26, and so far, he has lived for 32 days, pinching the head and going to the tail for 30 days, and the shop has eaten and lived for a day, a total of 2 taels of silver, that is, 60 taels, and has received 36 taels halfway, and now he owes 24 taels. ”
"That's not to give you these twenty-four taels, he has nothing to do with you. ”
"Of course, as long as you give twenty-four taels of silver, even if he goes to heaven and earth, I can't control it. ”
"Okay, Lingzhi, give him twenty-four taels. ”
"Yes, master," Lingzhi agreed, and took out the money from his pocket, and then, counting out twenty-four taels of silver, handed it to the innkeeper.
The innkeeper didn't care why others were paying, he stretched out his hand to take it, turned around and said, "Zhao Kuangyin, you can go," and then, regardless of what the neighbors said, he happily went back to the store.
That Zhao Kuangyin for the innkeeper's ridicule, when he was embarrassed, he never thought that someone would help and save himself in the dire situation, for a while, he was moved to tears, and then he stepped forward and kowtowed and thanked: "Master, I, Zhao Kuangyin, thank you for your help today, and I will repay you for the work of dogs and horses in the future." ”
"Zhao Kuangyin, this is nothing, you don't need to be so polite, please get up," Fuju hurriedly helped him up from the ground.
"Thank you, master," the weak Zhao Kuangyin was excited, and hurriedly got up from the ground, however, he didn't expect to get up from the ground, and before he could see Fuju's face, he suddenly had a dizzy attack, and he couldn't help himself, and he fell to the ground with a plop.
Fuju didn't expect this to happen, so he hurriedly checked the past, and when he saw that Zhao Kuangyin's body was like a charcoal of fire, he was burning badly, so he hurriedly beckoned Lingqiu and them to go, "Wuwei, you quickly carry him to Longxing Temple." ”
Wuwei, Zhisheng and the others did not dare to be slow, stepped forward and lifted Zhao Kuangyin on their backs, and walked into Longxing Temple.
It is said that after they stayed overnight in Longxing Temple, they arranged for the monks in the temple to lead Wuwei to the street to invite a doctor, and at the same time prepared dinner.
Accompanied by a young monk from Longxing Temple, Wuwei soon invited a doctor in his forties, with a round face, big ears, a straight nose and a square mouth, surnamed Wu.
Doctor Wu entered Longxing Temple, and under the guidance of Wuwei, he immediately walked into Zhao Kuangyin's room and listened to the pulse.
But I saw Zhao Kuangyin's eyes closed, his teeth clenched, his face pale, and cold sweat kept rolling down his head.
It is said that after Dr. Wu learned about Zhao Kuangyin's condition after auscultation and inquiry, his heart suddenly relaxed, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fuju couldn't bear it, so he asked, "Doctor, how is it, are you worried about your life?"
"Don't worry, there is no fear for your life. ”
"Then why is he sweating and fainting?"
"This is mainly because he is sick, coupled with his weak body, he is angry, it is not a big deal, I will prescribe him a few pairs of decoctions, raise it for a few days, and it will be fine. ”
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Wu. ”
Wuwei followed to Dr. Wu's house, took the medicine back, decocted the medicine according to the explanation, and then sent it over.
Zhao Kuangyin, supported by Zhisheng and others, gritted his teeth and drank the medicine strongly, and then lay down to rest.
Fuju and the others arranged everything, and then went back to the room to rest. Nothing was said all night.
At dawn the next day, after Fuju and others got up from the bed, they immediately checked Zhao Kuangyin's situation, and when they saw that they had woken up, the hanging heart suddenly put it into the stomach, and while Zhisheng was cooking and decocting the medicine, he asked with concern, "Yuen Long, how are you now, are you still dizzy?"
"Master, I'm no longer dizzy, thank you. Zhao Kuangyin said, struggling to get out of bed.
Seeing this, Fuju hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him, "Don't don't, you're still weak and don't need to get up, just lie down for the time being, wait for a while, it's too late to get up." ”
"Okay, okay, then you sit," Zhao Kuangyin knew what his situation was, so he lay down obediently, and then asked gratefully: "Master, what do you call that temple?"
"I am the host of Shaolin Temple, surnamed Fumingju, going out to do business, passing through here. Zhao Kuangyin, isn't your family in Kaifeng, Henan, why did you come here alone and fall into this place?"
"Well, it's hard to put it into words. ”
If you want to know what Zhao Kuangyin said, let's see the next time.
