4: North and South Pai Jiao (I)

The style of the six monks is very low-key. Just bury your head in eating and don't deal with others at all. But now, with Daoist Gu shouting for a while, the six monks became everyone's attention. Now, they want to continue eating, but they can't eat.

The mighty-looking monk who carried a water-milled iron Zen staff couldn't help but sigh, raised his head, and said helplessly: "Niubi, you caused your own trouble, so you should deal with it yourself." actually pulled the monk into the water, which is too unkind. ”

Daoist Gu couldn't help but say, so he took the little apprentice to drill into the monk's pile. I squeezed the two monks next to me out of the way, sat down by myself, and said with a smile: "Old bald donkey, don't be so unkind." Your Buddhist ancestor also said it. Convenience with others is convenience for oneself. You help me today, I'll help you tomorrow, everyone helps each other, there are comings and goings, this is really convenient. ”

The rough-looking monk sighed again and said, "You bull-nosed, always flamboyant. It is clear that he is also a monk, but he eats and drinks every day, and he drinks and gets drunk. ”

Daoist Gu smiled again: "Daomen is not like you monks, you can't help eating meat. How about the old bald donkey, if you are envious, you can grow your hair and abandon the Buddha and enter the Tao. ”

"Amitabha, what a sin. ”

The rugged-looking monk shook his head, stood up, and walked towards the four "auspicious Ruyi". Put his palms together and said: "The poor monk Longhua Temple has seen four donors. ”

Ji Xiang Ruyi and the other four people didn't take these monks seriously. But when he heard that the great monk reported to his home, he was greatly surprised, and Brother Xiang hurriedly asked: "The master is one of the eighteen arhats of Longhua Temple, the Fuhu Arhat?"

The great monk said: "Don't dare, it's the poor monk." The four donors, this Gu Daoist was only an unintentional mistake, and he did not intend to insult the owner of your house. Why don't you let the four donors have a lot of adults, and let him go?"

The four major forces in the rivers and lakes, the Six Desires have always been low-key. The Golden Dragon Gang was originally the most powerful, but now its vitality is greatly damaged, and its strength is not even a third of what it used to be. The Eight Dou Hall is even more disintegrated, and it is not a problem at all.

Although Canghai Yueminglou also has losses, on the whole, it has jumped to the top of the four major forces. As the status rises, the morale of the disciples in the building also rises. The four of them walked the rivers and lakes, which can be described as arrogant, not to mention ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, even if they came out of the Seven Great Sword Sects or the Seven Great Families, they didn't care about it at all.

But Longhua Temple is different from the rest of the Jianghu sects. As one of the three major sources of "Confucianism, Taoism and Buddha", Longhua Temple has accumulated for thousands of years, has a profound heritage, and has been officially canonized by the imperial court. The eighteen Arhats of Longhua Temple, although they rarely appear on the rivers and lakes, are still famous, and no one dares to underestimate them.

Therefore, since Fuhu Arhat is a monk, he has already come forward to intercede for that Gu Daoist. No matter how arrogant and domineering the four of them were, they didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the Tiger Arhat.

At that moment, the four people of "Auspicious Ruyi" hugged their fists at the same time and returned the salute to the monk. Li Xiaoji said: "For the sake of the master's golden face, then let's forget it this time." But master, the truth comes from the mouth, I believe that there is no need to say it below, the master also understands. This time, let's give the master face, but the master can't shelter this old Taoist priest for the rest of his life, right? If you have a bad mouth like him, sooner or later you will be unlucky. ”

Ben Shu Heshi said: "Amitabha." The donor is right. The poor monk thanked him. ”

"Little mosquito" Brother Xiang interjected next to him and asked, "By the way, master." I don't know what you have to do when you come to a remote place like Shaozhou City? We also have a rudder here, and we can be regarded as half a master. If the master needs help with anything, just ask for it. ”

The monk shook his head and said, "Don't hide it from the four donors, the poor monks and others are in Shaozhou, just to rest temporarily. After resting, it is necessary to continue westward and enter Miaojiang. ”

"Continue west?" Suddenly, the four of them showed a vigilant look at each other and glanced at each other. "Eight feet of Weili" Zhu Ru couldn't help but ask: "I don't know if the master is going to Chenzhou or Yongzhou?"

Benji hesitated for a moment and said, "The monks don't speak. The poor monks and others were about to go to Yongzhou. And it's not just the poor monks. The remaining twelve of the eighteen arhats of our temple have also been divided into two groups and set off separately. ”

"Tailless thallium" Ouyang Yiyi gasped, but forcibly pretended to be casual, and said: "Yongzhou is just a wild place. Poor mountains and bad waters, miasma everywhere. But I don't know where the masters are going, what are they doing?"

Ben Shu and Shang Heshi said: "Good and good, the world is filthy, all living beings are suffering, where is the Pure Land of Happiness? Besides, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? Amitabha." ”

The other five monks of Longhua Temple also looked solemn and clasped their palms together and said, "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?" Amitabha. ”

Having said that, "A Curtain of Dreams" Li Xiaoji knew that if he wanted to dig out more news from this monk, he was afraid it would be impossible. But even so, what we know so far is actually enough.

At that moment, Li Xiaoji glanced at the other three and said, "All the masters are kind-hearted and admired. Then, in the lower class, they will not disturb the dining of the masters. Leave. He bowed slightly, and then left.

Ben Monk looked at the backs of the four "auspicious Ruyi", couldn't help sighing, and went back to sit down. whispered a few words to Daoist Gu, as if to persuade him to be careful in the future, and never offend people casually again. Daoist Gu agreed with a hippie smile. It's just that looking at his appearance, most of them are just casually perfunctory, and they don't pay attention to it at all.

At the private seat on the second floor, Cheng Li and Xiaoqing put away their ears respectively. The expressions between the eyebrows were solemn. Xiaoqing couldn't help it first, and said in a low voice: "These bald donkeys, they are actually going to Yongzhou, what do they want to do......? Do you say ......"

Cheng Li groaned: "It shouldn't be a coincidence that the people from Canghai Yueminglou appear here. In all probability...... Zhu Youxian was secretly making some calculations. Most likely, he is also interested in the Glass Treasure Knife's Cave Heaven and Blessed Land?"

Xiao Qingqi said: "Zhu Youxi, will he be interested in the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land? When he was in Perak, if he wanted to fight, he could still fight. But at that time, he didn't make any moves. ”

Cheng Li pondered: "Think about it carefully, that little prime minister Yan Donglou was killed by Zhu Youxian himself. His father is a real prime minister. Knowing that his son was killed, he would definitely want to take revenge. No matter how powerful the Canghai Yueming Tower is, it can't be against the imperial court, right? Therefore, Zhu Youxi's only way to survive is the glazed treasure knife, which is the blessed land of the cave. ”

Xiaoqing pursed her lips and said, "Zhu Youxian is very bad. He should have thought of killing everyone on the scene, so that no one would know what he was doing. It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and in the end they met their little brother, so the whole plan failed. Hmph, he's out of luck. Little brother, you say, now should we catch up and teach those few auspicious wishes?"

Cheng Li shook his head and said, "It's meaningless. Anyway, the final destination is in the snake clan's secret cave, a blessed land. All grievances and festives, all problems and troubles, can be solved after arriving at the destination. Xiaoqing, eat quickly. After eating, we rested for an hour, and then got on our horses and hurried. You'll be the first to arrive. ”

Xiaoqing nodded, stopped talking, and lowered her head to eat. In a moment, He Cheng Li and Cheng Li swept away all the meals on the table. The two left their seats and went back to their rooms, and went to bed separately. But in a moment, he had already fallen asleep.

An hour later, the two woke up on time. Then he packed his bags and hurried out. But though the people have rested, the horses they ride have not yet relented. I had no choice but to negotiate with the inn to leave the two horses for the time being, and let the inn take care of them for a while. The two went to the market again, bought two sturdy horses, rode them, and galloped southwest.

The fast horse galloped for more than ten miles, and suddenly heard the sound of water in front of him. When I got a little closer, I immediately saw a large river in front of me, cutting off the way. The river is turbulent and wide, and even if there is a peerless light feat, it is extremely difficult to cross it empty, let alone carry horses.

There are no bridges over the river. But as far as the eye can see, there is a small pier next to the river bank not far away. There was a ship tied to the dock. It can accommodate more than 10 people at the same time. There is a gazebo next to it. Several figures were sitting in the gazebo chatting.

Cheng Li and Xiaoqing turned their horses' heads and walked towards the dock. Before coming to the pavilion, Xiaoqing took the lead in shouting: "Excuse me, a few big brothers." We wanted to take a boat to the other side. ”

In the pavilion, there are five people in total. They are all muscular and powerful men. Hearing Xiaoqing speak, these people jumped up at the same time and turned to face Cheng Li and Xiaoqing. The leader laughed and said: "Creation and creation, buying and selling, the wine and meat have fallen in the past few days." You two men and women, listen to Uncle Ben......"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped talking. The five big men were all dumbfounded, staring at Cheng Li and Xiaoqing. The eyeballs are so sudden that they are about to fall out of their sockets, and there is a trace of saliva flowing from the corners of the mouth, which is truly worthy of the name, "salivating".

It's no wonder that these five big men are so out of shape. Xiaoqing has a delicate and sweet appearance, bright eyes and bright teeth, plump red lips, and white skin like jade. It belongs to the authentic Jiangnan water town beauty. Although Cheng Li is a man, in terms of handsomeness, he is even better than Xiaoqing. In addition, after entering the realm of the third awakening, the whole person has invisibly added an ethereal and mysterious temperament. In the eyes of these big men, they seem to be more attractive than Xiaoqing.

Being stared at by that kind of greedy gaze on himself couldn't help but make Cheng Li feel extremely uncomfortable. He snorted coldly and asked, "Several, we want to cross the river." Please feel free to tell us how much you will have to pay. ”

"Oh, yes, yes. ”

The man at the head woke up from a dream and said loudly: "Within a hundred miles of the upstream and downstream here, there is only one wharf and one ferry. Therefore, we know the real price, Tong Su is not bullied, and a position on the ship will cost one hundred taels of gold. You have two, plus the horses, and that's four places. So-so, take four hundred taels of gold. ”、

"Four hundred taels of gold?" Cheng Li was stunned, and then frowned: "Friend, your price is too outrageous, right?"

Xiaoqing said: "Yes"

The man puffed up his chest and said proudly: "This is the order of our sect leader, from now on, lock the river for three months." Anyone who wants to cross the river is a position of one hundred taels of gold, even if the king of heaven Lao Tzu comes, it is also this price. So it's not outrageous at all. ”

Cheng Li asked, "What are you sect masters?"

The man stretched out his hand and slapped him on the chest, and said loudly, "Of course it's a rehearsal." ”

Xiao Qing's eyes shrank slightly, and he blurted out: "Are you the people of the Paijiao? South Pai or North Pai? When did the Pai Sect start to have a leader?"

The base camp of the snake clan is in the mountains deep in Yongzhou, Xiangxi. Although it is rare to come out and show up, it is always impossible to completely disconnect with human contact. Especially hundreds of years ago, after a big battle between the Snake Clan and Dao Zun, there were only two members of the whole clan, Xiaoqing and Xiaobai, so there was no way to continue to hide from the world.

Therefore, when it comes to the situation in other places, maybe Xiaoqing doesn't know much. But when it comes to the situation in Xiangxi, Xiaoqing definitely knows everything about it.

Therefore, Xiaoqing is very clear. In Xiangxi, Pai Jiao is definitely a first-class behemoth. The influence is huge, compared to the Lei family in Hangzhou, it is even more than ten times better.
