Chapter 64: Catching a Turtle in an Urn
Two days later, a group of evil ways came to the Shaolin Temple on Shaolin Mountain.
I saw Linghu Chong standing in the front under the stars of the demons holding the moon, and behind them were the five tyrants gathering on the gang, such as Zu Qianqiu, Huang Boliu, Sima Da, Blue Phoenix, etc., who had known each other for a long time, but there were also many things that Linghu Chong had never seen, and this group of people together had five or six thousand people.
With hundreds of large leather drums beating at the same time, the sound of fluffy is really earth-shattering. The demons beat the drums for a long time, but not a single monk came out.
Ling Hu Chong gave the order to stop beating the drums, and shouted loudly with a breath of true qi: "The junior Ling Hu Chong, together with a group of friends from the rivers and lakes, came to visit the abbot of Shaolin Temple. Thank you for your reception.
These words were transmitted out with abundant internal force, and they were heard for miles. But there was silence in the temple, and there was no echo. Ling Hu Chong said it again, but still no one responded.
Seeing this scene, Ling Hu Chong had no choice but to say to Zu Qianqiu according to the previous agreement: "Please ask my ancestor to offer a prayer post." ”
Holding the worship box prepared in advance, the name of the leader of the group of heroes from Linghu Chong came to the gate of Shaolin Temple. Knock on the door a few times, listen to the silence in the temple, gently push on the door, the door is not bolted, open in response to the hand, look in, empty and no one.
Zu Qianqiu didn't dare to enter without permission, so he turned around and reported to Linghu Chong. Although Linghu Chong's martial arts are high, he has no experience in handling things, and he has no talent to lead the heroes, and when he encounters such an unexpected situation, he really doesn't know what to do, so he stays in the local area for a while, unable to speak.
Hearing that the Shaolin Temple fled without a fight, the demons in the rivers and lakes immediately laughed loudly, despising the Shaolin Temple as a gutless rat. Immediately, many people rushed into the temple, so that Hu Chong had no time to stop it, so he had to follow into the Shaolin Mountain Gate.
Walk up a stone step, pass the front yard, pass through the front hall, and come to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, but see that the Buddha treasure is solemn, but there is a thin layer of dust on the ground and on the table.
Listening attentively, all I heard was the noise of thousands of demons outside the temple, but there was no sound in the temple.
Ling Hu Chong missed Ren Yingying very much, and when he saw that the temple was empty, he immediately ordered the demon detachment to search for Ren Yingying's whereabouts. But most of the day passed, and the entire Shaolin Temple was turned upside down, so that Hu Chong and the others didn't even see a figure, let alone Ren Yingying's traces.
Unexpectedly, the Shaolin Temple was not trustworthy, not only did the temple escape, but also took away the two masters who had gone up the mountain to negotiate before.
Just when Linghu Chong was thinking more and more angry, he suddenly heard a faint shout from the middle of the mountain, and after a while, the demons outside the temple were in an uproar.
Linghu Chong was shocked and rushed out of the temple gate. I saw Huang Bo running over with blood on his face, ignoring the arrow in his shoulder, and shouted angrily: "Alliance leader, enemy ...... The enemy guards the way down the mountain, let's ...... It's a self-cast net. ”
Huang Boliu was panicked, and his words couldn't be said clearly, so Ling Hu Chong couldn't understand it, and asked, "Is it a monk from Shaolin Temple?" ”
"It's not a monk, it's Jinyiwei. His grandmother's, we didn't go down the mountain for more than three miles, so we shot back with a burst of arrows, killing more than a dozen brothers, and wounding seventy or eighty people, and the whole army was really wiped out. ”
Jin Yiwei?
As soon as he heard that it was Jinyiwei, Hu Chong's heart was shocked, and a figure immediately appeared in his mind. didn't have time to think about it, Ling Hu Chong hurriedly ran to the temple gate, and saw that the entire Shaolin Temple was surrounded by water.
This black pressure is overwhelming, where there are only Jinyi guards, and there are also Ming officials and soldiers with strong crossbows, and the total number of people is at least more than 10,000.
Although there are many ordinary people, they are well-trained and well-armed, where can they be fought against by a rabble.
In order to avoid greater casualties, Ling Hu Chong was quite responsible at this time, and under the deterrence of the strong bows and crossbows of the official army, he walked out of the temple gate alone, lifted his chest with a breath of true anger, and shouted: "Lord Li, can you be?" Would you like to come out and speak? ”
Ling Hu Chong's judgment was indeed correct, emptying the Shaolin Temple, luring the enemy deep, and then cutting off the food and water channels of these people, Li Mu did have the intention of catching them all.
Looking at Ling Hu Chong, who had not been seen for a month, Li Mu, under the escort of a group of brocade guards, rode a tall horse to the front of the military formation, and said, "Ling Hu Chong, are you guilty?" ”
"Lord Li, Ling Hu Chong doesn't understand what you mean? Shaolin Temple abuses lynching, imprisoned Yingying, I just came up to ask for justice, how can I also break the law like this? ”
Li Mu healed his internal injuries and improved his strength, which made Hu Chong indeed very grateful, but Ren Yingying was the person he liked, so how could he ignore it.
"Ling Hu Chong, I haven't seen you for a month, but you have become sharp. I don't know what crime I have committed, so I will tell you the truth. Gathering crowds to rebel and besieging thousand-year-old temples, coupled with the countless murders of you heresies, shouldn't I have wiped you all out? ”
Seeing the evil ways behind Ling Hu Chong, he still did not repent, and he was extremely sarcastic and insulting himself, Li Mu's face became cold, and then said: "However, as long as you Ling Hu Chong announces his surrender, I am also willing to give you a way to live." If not, not only will your heads fall to the ground, but your parents, children, relatives, and friends will all die. Linghu Chong, if you are stubborn, I will destroy the Huashan faction, and they are all among your nine clans. You have to think carefully, don't doubt our Jinyiwei's ability to do things. ”
Jinyiwei is notorious, even if you are not guilty, you can add some trumped-up charges, not to mention the felony of gathering a crowd to rebel against the nine clans.
Li Mu's threat was like a hammer hitting the hearts of all the evil ways in the rivers and lakes. These guys are the only ones who are not afraid of Li Mu's intimidation, and most of the rest still have teachers and families, and under Li Mu's ruthless coercion, many of them have unstable swords in their hands.
Looking at the low morale and unstable morale of the evil ways in the rivers and lakes on the opposite side, Li Mu waved his hand, and Ren Yingying, who was calm and weak, was put out by the brocade guard.
Ignoring the actions of a group of villains who insulted him, Li Mu looked at Ling Hu Chong, who was about to split, and said, "The holy aunt you want to save is now in my hands." If you surrender immediately, I can heal your aunt's internal wounds. If not, your holy aunt will be the first to go down to the Yellow Spring. How about it, Linghu Chong, will you descend or not? ”
On the one hand, it was the deterrence of the Zhujiu clan, and on the other hand, Ren Yingying's safety, and it was impossible to withstand Li Mu's combination of soft and hard, so Hu Chong and the others finally led the crowd to surrender under Li Mu's expectations.
Of course, there are also those who are unconvinced and want to escape from the chaos, but under the blow of the strong bow and crossbow, all of them died like hedgehogs, which is just the careful thinking of An An Qun.
All of these more than 5,000 heresies were taken into custody, and it is estimated that the local prison will not be able to fit them. Besides, without the Jinyi Guard, the local yamen would not be able to withstand it. But it was also a coincidence, Li Mu happened to bring a lot of poison recipes from the family, and now it finally came into use.
took Li Mu's poison one by one, and all the demons in the rivers and lakes were released by Li Mu, leaving only Ling Hu Chong and Ren Yingying.
