After returning to the host to fruitlessly perform the last four moves of "Wei Dao Palm" "Who goes to hell, Zen heart is eternal, my Buddha is compassionate, and the sea of suffering turns back", he wiped his sweat and changed his clothes, and saw Qiao Wen, who was fascinated by the statue of Wei Dao by the side door of the hall. Seeing Qiao Wen look like this, it has become common for him to get used to it, and every time he talks about one of the three treasures of this town temple, and the legend of Wei Tuo's protection of his ancestors, people will be obsessed with it and donate money for incense.
The fruitless Buddha said: "The poor monk is presiding over the temple, the law is fruitless, and the donor is privately breaking into the mountain temple, so what's the matter?" "The opening of the temple every day is after the morning class, not at this time, so there is no result to say that it is uninvited.
Qiao Wen showed the waist card of the six doors, showing his official tone: "The government is doing things, how can it be slow, if Qiao is presumptuous, the master will forgive him." "There is a murder here, and as the host, the fruitless cannot be inseparable, Qiao Wen is naturally not very polite.
The fruitless is that the head of the Baiyun Temple was promoted to the abbot to preside, so he knew how to deal with the official family, and said with a smile: "Lord Qiao's words are serious, although my Buddhism is compassionate, but the merit of punishing adultery and eliminating evil is also where the merit lies. ”
Qiao Wen couldn't stand this Buddha language the most, and asked bluntly: "Master Abbot only needs to tell you where the person who entrusted you with the temple last morning is." ”
Fruitless thought that Qiao Wennai was talking about the widow of the great benevolent Qin Tianhe, Qin, and recalled that this person had not entered the temple, and left on his own after handing over the clothes and coffins and offerings, so he replied: "You are talking about the benefactor of the Qin family, and he only said that he would hike a certain place, as for where, he did not say, so the poor monk did not know." "According to the general temple regulations, incense tourists stop at the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and the Qin family, as a female dependent, is naturally not allowed to enter the inner courtyard of the temple. And people outside the party naturally keep the ten precepts and don't ask many words.
Qiao Wen thought that the person chased by the dog master was the widow of the Zhou family, Zhou Miaoren, and it must be in the name of his subordinate Qin Haonan who did this to hide people's eyes and ears, and move flowers and trees. He continued to estimate that Zhou Miaoren must have left the temple and re-entered the Yuanshan Temple from the secret passage of the cemetery, assisting his subordinates who had been waiting for the well for a long time to transfer the thieves out of the secret mountain passage. It was also at this time that the dog master followed here, but he didn't know that the tracking was too deep, and the traces were revealed, so he had to release the spirit dog for help, and he had no choice but to fight to the bottom of the well to death.
Qiao Wenzhi didn't find much on Wuguo, and asked him to deal with and tell him about everything later, so he was led by Wuguo, and went out through the Tianwang Palace, and after facing the statue of Jia Lantian that was placed contrary to the statue of Wei Tuo, he came to the square of the Shanmen Palace.
Qiao Wen looked up at the bell tower in the west wing, stopped moving, and remembered that at the beginning of entering the temple, the "thief" Yu Keer was somewhere in the bell tower, first giving a strong breath, and then tossing half a night of the temple chase. Why did this person appear in Yuanshan Temple, he kept thinking about it, could it be related to it?
Without looking at Qiao Wen's expression, he announced a Buddha and said: "Lord Qiao Shi is destined to come, it is better to visit one of the three treasures of this temple, the ancient bell of Fanding in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty." "Wu Guo is four years ago as the presiding abbot, with the temple is becoming more and more prosperous, the more the Buddhist learning is shallow, so every morning before and after the morning class, must be in the Tianwang Hall in front of the statue of Wei Tuo to practice Wei Dao palm to self-cultivation, after the end is to sit in front of this bell tower to sit on the altar to participate in meditation to understand the Hinayana Buddhism.
Qiao Wen also has the heart to observe, and approached, to see that the host master of this square head and big ears is not the abbot who is well versed in Buddhism, there must be a Buddha Zen proficient in the Taoist monk sitting in this temple, in order to make the temple incense flourishing, tourists endlessly. He felt that this bell tower exuded auspicious Buddha everywhere than elsewhere in the temple, so he said excitedly: "I don't know where Master Pang Yuqi is cultivating in the temple?" ”
"It turns out that Master Qiao has heard Pang Yu mention that Master Pang Yu and Master Wuyin have been practicing 'Zhong Mo Zen' in the bell tower for many years." Unexpectedly, I thought that Qiao Wen was a person in the official mansion, and Pang Yu was now temporarily acting as a fast catcher, so naturally the two knew each other.
Qiao Wen secretly thought that as he guessed, the name of the law was not hidden, the rivers and lakes had not heard of it, and Zhong Mochan was even more ignorant, he didn't know what to say, and waited for the fruitless to continue.
Wuguo continued: "Pang Yu master and apprentice traveled to this treasure temple three years ago, and the Wuyin Zen master saw the Eastern Zhou Fangu Ding, and rang the bell with the finger of the Buddha with flowers, and the sound spread hundreds of miles away. Because of this vacant move, the people in the temple and the people of Songjiang County all feel that the Zen master has a profound Dharma, and they come to visit, and the temple is prosperous. Although the morning bell no longer rings after that, the reputation has spread far and wide, and monks from all over the world come to this bell tower to sit on the altar and participate in meditation. And Pang Yu's master has not taken a step out of the bell tower so far, not a half sentence of words, every day by Pang Yu for fasting, to refer to the conversation, the monks know that it is a kind of supreme Buddhist practice, believe in it and worship, worship for the Zen master without concealment, said to repair the bell silent meditation. This series of words, he did not know how many times to the tourists and pilgrims, naturally spit lotus flowers.
It's a pity that Qiao Wen doesn't believe in Buddhism, so he lets him talk like a fanciful thing, and he also thinks that there will be no more two masters of the rivers and lakes that he doesn't know out of thin air. He suddenly thought that Yu Ke'er could get close to the bell tower, and this Zen Master Wuyin didn't feel it, did the two know each other.
The two quickly bypassed the altar of the third-order white stone fence and came to the door of the closed bell tower that showed that visitors had stopped. Qiao Wen saw that the building was tall and thick, and he couldn't feel that there was no one for a while. He looked up at the corner of this hanging bell, steady and ancient, carved countless Zhou Dynasty patterns and curved Sanskrit around his body, the appearance was mediocre, and he really couldn't see that it was wonderful if there was no result. Wuguo clasped his hands together and explained to him: "Lord Qiao, I'm sorry, Master Wuyin has a place to cultivate himself, so he has to do this. ”
Qiao Wen thought that he had no chance with the Buddha, and he couldn't see this Taoist master, plus the dark flower thieves, the time limit of the Taoist king, the covenant of the goddess and other important things drifted to his mind, so he gave up and said goodbye, and was sent out of the temple by the fruitless escort.
Qiao Wen walked down to the foot of Baiyun Mountain, and hurriedly flew through the air, and in less than a moment, he had stopped on the "Bibo Xiuye Bridge" to breathe. Its oscillating momentum broke through the air, and suddenly the quiet stream under the bridge rippled, and the fish were frightened. Along the way, I have been thinking about Yu Ke'er's sudden appearance, so my spiritual sense moved, and sure enough, I felt a familiar breath here, and the person I was thinking about had been waiting for him for a long time.
Before he could speak, a person leaned over the wall under the bridge pier and said loudly: "First of all, this is not the foot of the Son of Heaven, and secondly, the two of us are now rushing to their backs, and they have not yet come out of the three chapters of the law between each other." ”
Qiao Wen stroked his silver hair lightly and said with a smile: "You Yu Ke'er, I haven't seen you for many years and you are still such an old naughty boy." By the way, why is this happening? ”
The third of the three chapters of the two of them is to tell the truth, and Yu Ke'er at the bottom of the bridge is naturally silent: "It's not for my precious apprentice." ”
"So what?"
"You should know the experience of my empty family!"
Qiao Wen was sure and asked with a little curiosity, "What topic did your disciple choose?" ”
The so-called "test of the teacher" is the rule of the empty family, the heir must go through a severe test, and the teacher will prepare three questions, and choose one to complete it, so as to show the success of the skill and inherit the empty door. The stolen things are no strange, and they are returned undamaged every time, so they do not cause great harm. As far as Qiao Wen knew, the thing that Yu Ke'er stole in front of the empty door was the exhaustion of Wusun Qingtian wine in the eight forbidden gates of the late Ning Wangfu.
"Daowangfu, clear water and warm jade, three months."
At this time, in the early morning, a touch of golden light is like a woman's gentle hand to warm the river bridge, obliquely reflecting the thin figure of Yu Keer lying horizontally under the bridge and hanging down and shoulder braids like a mirror on the clear stream.
Qiao Wen heard his words and saw his shadow, but suddenly he had an inexplicable haze and cold heart, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. It turned out that all the misfortune was in the empty door, and knowing that this thief would have an afterword, he stomped his foot and asked, "Tell me the truth." ”
Yu Ke'er was stunned by Qiao Wen, her mind was like being clumsy, and she almost lost her momentum and entered the water, and when she heard Qiao Wen's tone of being an official interrogator, she explained again and again: "The day after the theft of the Daowang Mansion, his subordinates were in the attic across the street, and found him in a daze, holding the architectural drawings of the Dao Wangfu, and muttering 'I steal the blue water and temperature'. It must have been hypnotized by someone, or was it something that the last memory of the subconscious remembered to do. Speaking of the second half, Yu Ke'er's words turned with sadness, and she sighed secretly in her heart, pitying her disciples for being so talented.
Qiao Wen heard the king of Dao mention that he had captured a person, and he didn't want to be Yu Keer's apprentice, because he found the waist card of the flower slave on his body, so the king of Dao resolutely cooperated with the six doors to encircle and suppress the "Seven Demons of Kunshan". Listening to the tone of voice at this time, he must have thought that his apprentice was planted by someone to blame, so he patiently asked, "How should the Dao King deal with it?" ”
"He saw my disciple's expression and symptoms, and then he knew why, and then sold his favor to me and personally sent him back to my secret place in the capital." Yu Ke's tone was different, as if he was a little vague and reserved.
"It's so weird, isn't it like the style of the Dao King? What kind of hypnotism did your disciple have? Qiao Wen was already slightly moved, and he was quite curious about what made Dao Wang change his original intention.
"The 'Lost Soul Guide' of 'Sanjueluo', if not, it is also his disciple 'Jade Waist Slave'." Yu Ke burst out in surprise.
Sanjue Luo is the nickname of a hero, and his name is not really auspicious. According to the records of Six Doors, this person is the perpetrator of the "Three Shocking Changes in the Capital" in the history of martial arts, the most culprit of the disputes and turmoil in the rivers and lakes for many years, and the first place on the blacklist of the Six Doors Killing. As for the "Lost Soul Guide", it is not the coast of the East China Sea, refined by Laoshan Taoism, which is said to be a holy medicine that can calm the fire and go into the devil, but the "Sanjueluo" high Xuanwu martial arts that penetrate the two doors of Buddhism and demons.
From Yu Ke'er's words, Qiao Wende's three things, the theft of the Daowang Mansion was handled by the Dark Flower Organization, not Yu Ke'er's disciples; Sanjue Luo is the mastermind behind the dark flower organization, no wonder the Dao King wants to ask him to find the blue water and warm jade; The leader of the Dark Flower Organization, "Jade Waist Slave", is a disciple of "Sanjueluo", which is based on his previous estimation and speculation and the reason why the headquarters sent to preside over this operation.
"I see, no wonder the Dao King reacted like this," Qiao Wen sighed, thinking that Sanjue Luo Qi was a person, and even he didn't dare to provoke easily, so he continued to return to the original question, "What does that have to do with your reappearance, do you know its traces and want to take revenge on it?!" ”
Yu Ke'er, who was still lying on the bridge pier, showed a nested expression, secretly thinking that it would be strange if I didn't walk 108,000 miles if I smelled it. Of course, he didn't know what to say and even lost face, so he explained the reason for his appearance here: "My original intention was to go to Wutai Mountain Qingliang Temple to find my senior brother Fangwai and treat my precious disciple's amnesia and madness. I temporarily let my disciples go to the temple, and I rushed for three days and nights last night before I walked to the Yuanshan Temple. ”
The older generation of people in the rivers and lakes know that the two Venerables of the Qingliang Temple of Wutai Mountain, the dragon and the tiger, are the first seat of the Luohan Hall, the great wisdom is like a foolish monk, and the second seat, the great ingenuity is like a clumsy monk. And the latter is what Yu Ke'er said about the senior brother outside the party, because when the humble monk entered the WTO to preach, he had given the three-style "empty-handed into the white blade" trick, so he had the heart to respect it, and if he was clumsy, he was called the junior brother who entered the WTO. Although Ruoyu and Ruoclumsy are Buddhist disciples, Yu Keer has a strange personality and does not discuss with him.
Although Qiao Wen does not believe in Buddhism, he has a thorough experience, remembering that more than ten years ago, the "Sanjueluo" was demonic, and he fought three times in Qingliang Temple, and was finally escaped by the two Venerables, and since then he has disappeared from the rivers and lakes, and the world has evaporated. And Qingliang Temple is also a temple destroyed most of the monks, if foolish, the precepts face the wall to think about Zen, if clumsy then enter the world ascetic preaching. Qiao Wen thought to himself that the two monks were one of the very few people who could restrain the "Three Jueluo", or there might be a good way to cure this forbidden evil disease.
"Could it be that the Zen Master of Wuyin is the Venerable Fuhu, and he is clumsy?" Qiao Wen said in half affirmativeness.
"Exactly, I was also bored, so I played with you for half a night and chased after it."
Qiao Wen estimated that when he appeared in Yuanshan Temple, he knew that he didn't know anything about the secret path of the temple's dark flowers, and it seemed that it was also an accidental or unintentional move to crash into the temple hall. He couldn't help but sigh that there were gods in his head, and he had his own arrangements in the dark.
Qiao Wen suddenly remembered Yu Ke'er's flickering words, and said: "The Dao King has never been domineering, how can he save face with others, let your disciple go lightly, tell the truth!" “
"Sure enough, it's an old friend of the King of Dao, but I can't lie to you. Although I don't know the trace of the dark flower thief, I know that the blue water and warm jade have flowed into Songjiang Mansion through the channel of the Goddess Sect. And the favor of the Taoist King is that one hundred gold is stolen back from this thing, which is also the reason why I appeared at the bottom of the bridge. ”
Qiao Wen knew that Yu Ke'er wanted to abide by the three chapters of each other's covenant, so he specially came to Zhisheng to commit theft, after all, this must be his official jurisdiction, and Yu Ke'er didn't want to break his promise. He smiled and said: "I will help you repay this favor, I have promised to escort the goddess Zong Suiyu into Beijing, and I don't want to lose my trust." ”
Yu Ke'er also knew that the king had issued a martial arts edict, and everything was according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, and even the six doors could not be messed up, so she said goodbye: "Then I won't have much to do, I will give you a gift for leaving, and take it well!" After saying that, he waved his arm down the stream, and made an empty hand into the white blade of the "hand empty moon", Jingxi was not surprised, but suddenly flew a ray of silver light in the air at the bottom of the water, and then loosened his body and fell into the water, a swallow three copies of the water, the foot went down to the water surface continuously, bent the knee and shook the arm, and it was the silent Yu Keer-style "driving the air in the air", after the body flew far away, it disappeared into the Xiuye forest that disappeared on the bank of the stream.
Qiao calmly opened his palms flat, and the sparkling scales in the sun fell into his hand, and it was a lively four-gill perch. Good intentions, smooth sailing, easy to play, he was infected with the deep meaning of Yu Ke'er's unruly behavior, and after his mood gradually improved a lot, he flew to Songjiang City, which was three miles away.
Speaking of going back to the place where Hu Dianchen and Qiao Wen parted ways, according to the Songjiang architectural diagram, there were not many neighbors, and they hurried to the Qin family house in the suburbs. He sneaked around the big house several times, and after searching for no one, he stopped performing the miraculous skill of "Fu Hu Listening to the Wind" and jumped into the courtyard of the hall against the wall of the house.
At this time, the clouds covered the moon, the night was dark, and when the feet of the tiger palace minister had just landed on the bricks, he saw the fireworks of the palm fire fold fluttering against the wind, and the heartstrings were suddenly warned, and there was already a strong sound of weapons breaking the wind in the back of his head and ears. Although he didn't have time to turn around, he was also in danger, a style of "Heavenly King Tota", luck through his arms like iron, and the hard momentum was carried horizontally. Listening to the sound of the collision of the golden stone, the tiger palace minister suddenly had a buzzing in his ears, and the arms of the glove tiger shook wildly, and the blue bricks in front of him flickered and flickered in the ribbon-like shadow circle, accompanied by the crisp sound of tinkling in the air, which was close to his head and limbs. He thought to himself that he had fallen into a trap, and that the enemy would be lurking here for a long time, and suddenly attacked him by surprise. In the heart of the tiger palace, he could not imagine what kind of weapons attacked him again, stretched his hands and feet, and used the "tiger roll and tail clipping" of the tiger roaring fist, closed the five empty doors in the back, and even eliminated the beating, and retreated in front of the pillar of the main hall, and finally temporarily left the danger, facing the attacker.
Then the fire fold that was about to crack and flipped out of his hand circled in the air, although the light was insufficient, it was enough for the three of them to take a look at each other and identify where the sacred. The eyes of the tiger palace minister flashed, and he saw a young woman ten steps away, standing with her jade hand on the pipa, and her other palm swaying in front of her, as if she was pausing the battle. He looked at her appearance and already knew that this woman was one of the people he had seen in the backyard of Songjiang Mansion the day before yesterday, and later in Pang Yu Gaofei and their mouths, he knew that it was the prefect Li Yutang's family, the maid of the young grandmother of the Song family, Fan Su. And on the wall in the wind, it is Xiaoman who is dancing with streamers.
Fan Su has opened his lips, and his jade teeth moved: "Tiger official, stop, forgive the two slaves for their reckless actions, we are also lurking here to catch Sun Buji." Don't blame you! And the "flower-shaped bell belt" that was struck with Fan Su's "Jade Urging Iron Pipa" just now, after the "Lotus Night Combination" failed, and then unfolded the "Lily First Bloom" to attack the tiger palace minister under the pillar Xiao Man heard this, and immediately raised his arms to recover from the band, jumped off the wall and approached her.
It turned out that in front of the door of Xianti, after Dong Sanniang and the coffin shop owner made a big fuss, the young grandmother of the Song family knew that Sun Buji was sent by the Dark Flower Organization to the undercover agent of the Goddess Sect in Xianti, and with the comprehensive intelligence analysis of his sect, it is not difficult to know the relationship between him and Zhou Miaoren and Qin Haonan. Since Sun Bu'er escaped from prison, she thought of the Qin family's mansion on the outskirts of the city, so she sent Fan Su and Xiaoman to it. When the two arrived at the fashionable and empty house, no one arrived, and after discussion, they decided to stay in charge of the night of the prison, but they waited for the tiger palace ministers, and Fan Su's pipa skills also happened, and the scene of "the rainstorm is coming".
Hu Dianchen knew that it was a misunderstanding, and thought that their lord had an agreement with Shugong Qiao Wen, so he was helpless and angry, so he had to say something official: "This place is handed over to the six doors, and the idle people are all leaving." ”
Xiao Man's eyes were looking forward to it, and he said coquettishly: "Lord Hu, the slave family has checked the whole house, and all the important files and objects have been either burned by the thieves or cleared and removed. She paused to breathe and continued, "It's good to have you here, let's go more, this is my young grandmother's post about a banquet for Master Qiao Wen, and you will hand it over." After saying that, after putting down a red post on an ornamental stone niche beside him, the two of them said goodbye and left the house.
Hu Dianchen and Qiao Wen are like going out, how can they rest assured if they don't do it personally, so they go into the house and search everywhere, as the two said, there is nothing to find. Since the two of them had been working hard all night to no avail, presumably the thief would not appear, thinking of this, Hu Dianchen turned around and went out of the room, put away the red stickers on the niche, jumped out of the house, and returned to Songjiang City, and returned to Qiao Wen.
