Chapter 210: Flying over Luoyang City
The sound of horses' hooves outside is getting closer and closer, I believe that this dyeing workshop will be searched soon, Xiao Yao immediately hung up the cloth bag, and then lit the rags tied under the mouth of the cloth bag, the brazier, these alcohol-soaked rags burned instantly, and with the continuous accumulation of heat, the cloth bag began to swell!
After a while, the bamboo basket hanging under the cloth bag had also left the surface of the rain and floated, Xiao Yao was ecstatic in his heart, and he succeeded!
Xiao Yao stood in this large bamboo basket for dyeing cloth, constantly stuffed the rags into the brazier, and then used a bamboo tube to blow desperately on the brazier, so that the flames burned violently, and gradually, this cloth bag that swelled into a room, hanging the bamboo basket, containing Xiao Yao, has risen to a height of dozens of meters.
Xiao Yao, who was standing in the bamboo basket and was carried in the air by the hot air balloon, heard a noise below, it turned out that the dyeing workshop where he was hiding just now had now rushed into a group of searching soldiers, and found what he left at the scene, and immediately shouted: "Quick!" Hurry up and inform the prince, we have found traces of Xiao Yao in this broken dyeing workshop, and the fire here has not been extinguished, and he is still nearby! Go and search carefully, he must not have gone far! ”
What a blessing! If the hot air balloon rises a little later, it will definitely be discovered by this group of soldiers! Xiao Yao took a long breath, and then saw a leader on horseback with several other groups of soldiers, holding torches, and quickly rushing towards the dyeing workshop, it was Gao Changgong! In order to prevent Xiao Yao from escaping, as soon as he arrived in Luoyang City, Gao Changgong had already strictly ordered Luoyang City to prohibit all Rao from entering and leaving, and now he heard that Xiao Yao was near the dyeing workshop, so he immediately led people over!
Thinking that Xiao Yao was about to fall into his hands, Gao Changgong, who was full of confidence, couldn't help but be complacent: Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao, I didn't expect you to be so self-defeating, disguised as a monk and left Songshan and came to Luoyang, but instead of taking the opportunity to escape to Zhou, but to enter Luoyang City, now the entire Luoyang City is blocked by me, just like an iron bucket, you just wait for me to catch turtles in your urn! This time you still want to escape, unless you know how to fly!
But Gao Changgong would never have dreamed that Xiao Yao really flew out!
It was the early winter season, and the northeast wind was blowing, and the wind speed was not large, so after the hot air balloon rose to a sufficient height, it slowly drifted to the southwest of Luoyang City with the northeast wind.
Because all Rao's attention was attracted to the vicinity of the dyeing workshop, Xiao Yao's hot air balloon floated in the air at a height of dozens of meters, and finally safely crossed the Luoyang city wall from the air, and Xiao Yao successfully escaped from Luoyang City!
The rags have been burned out, and the height of the hot air balloon has slowly decreased, but seeing that it seems to be a relatively large building underneath, and it seems that there are still people there, Xiao Yao has no way to control the landing location of the hot air balloon, so he can only keep praying that he will not land on any official military camp, those people are not Qi soldiers!
As the hot air balloon continues to fall, some of the people in this building are scared to run around, and some are scared to kneel and worship, after all, the people of this era, except for birds, have not seen anything else to fly, and now they see a big cloth bag flying down in the air, and there is a person inside, their first reaction is that it is a fairy here!
Xiao Yao jumped out of the bamboo basket and found that the monks kneeling here were all monks, they were already trembling with fright, and they kept kowtowing to Xiao Yao, and their mouths kept saying that the Buddha appeared and the Buddha blessed.
Xiao Yao couldn't smile bitterly, and was about to speak, asking what kind of place this is, but he saw a familiar person, Monk Huiguang, who was standing not far away and smiling at himself!
It turned out that Xiao Yao's hot air balloon was not departial, and it landed in the White Horse Temple in the southwest outside Luoyang City!
"Abbot Huiguang, hello, we are really fated, we will meet again so soon!" Xiao Yao walked over and saluted and smiled.
"Yes! We do have a fate, but Lao Qu really didn't expect that he could casually say those profound Buddhism, full of Zen Buddha, and even Lao Qu was ashamed of his understanding of Buddhism. Huiguang still smiled kindly.
When the pursuit team arrived at the White Horse Temple, and showed that Sanzang to Monk Huiguang was actually pretending to be a monk and taking the opportunity to escape Xiao Yao, Monk Huiguang was taken aback: he had seen countless monks, and he didn't see that Sanzang turned out to be a fake monk! How can a defeated general pretend to be a monk and pretend to be more like a monk than a monk! And all of them are full of Zen and thought-provoking Buddhas, as well as his broad insight, which makes people feel that he is indeed a monk who travels in the clouds, and is completely out of step with the kind of generals who have killed countless people on the battlefield!
"Abbot, please forgive me, the situation was critical, Shiro had to pretend to be a monk and go to Shaolin Temple for help! Now that the master already knows Shiro's identity, I believe that Gao Changgong has also promised that as long as he catches me Xiao Yao, he will get a big reward, so is the master now ready to arrest Shiro to invite merit to receive the reward? Xiao Yao also smiled, but his right hand was already holding the revolver inside his clothes.
"Haha, don't get me wrong! Whether you are Xiao Yao or Sanzang, in the eyes of Lao Ke, you are you, the monk who has a long talk with Lao Ke and explores Buddhism together! Abbot Huiguang smiled.
"Thank you, Abbot! Since the abbot has spared Shiro here, I don't know if the abbot can be a good person to the end, send the Buddha to the west, and then send Shiro a fast horse and some dry food to entangle, so that Shiro can escape from Gao Changgong's pursuit! Xiao Yao smiled cheekily.
"Haha, a good sentence to send the Buddha to the west! Based on these words, of course, Lao Qu agreed to Sanzang's request! Huiguang laughed.
Huiguang immediately asked someone to prepare a fast horse and coil for Xiao Yao, and then looked at the big cloth bag behind Xiao Yao, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Sanzang, do you know how to use spells?" Can this cloth bag and big bamboo basket fly into the air, and then escape from Luoyang City? When I heard just now that those officers and soldiers sealed the entire Luoyang City in order to arrest you and prevent anyone from entering or leaving, the old man sweated for you! And I've heard rumors about you before, you use spells on the battlefield, you can attract thunder fire, the explosion is extremely powerful, and you can take thousands of lives at a time! ”
"Shiro is just a mortal, how can he use any spells! It's just that my brain is more flexible than others, and this cloth bag can let me fly into the air, in fact, it is a Kong Ming lantern! It's just that I sew it with fabric, so it can be stronger! And those so-called fire explosions are nothing more than some easily burning minerals. Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"I see, haha, Sanzang is really like a rumor, he is a smart and skillful person! Not only has a broad insight, but also has a unique view of Buddhism, and is even more outstanding for the mechanism of firearms. Lao Gao is a monk, should not be involved in the politics of these countries, but I can't bear to see the people in the war, broken families, displaced, I hope that in the future, Sanzang can think about the common people, less killing, more compassion! Good, good, good! Huiguang said.
"The monks are compassionate, and the abbot has such a bodhisattva heart, which really makes Shiro admire! Master rest assured, although I, Xiao Yao, am a soldier, I don't like to kill people, but now that I am three points, there are more disputes between countries, if there is no war, how can I exchange for peace? But I can promise the abbot that I will save more people in the future and let more people live a good life! When the time comes, I will go to the Shaolin Temple in person and talk about the Jinglun Buddha with the abbot! Xiao Yao promised.
"As soon as the word is decided, Lao Wei will be waiting for General Xiao's arrival in Shaolin Temple at that time! At present, General Xiao is still being searched for in Luoyang City, I don't know where General Xiao is going now? Huiguang finally stopped calling Xiao Yao Sanzang, which shows that he recognized Xiao Yao's military identity!
"I believe that the road back to the south has been blocked by Gao Changgong, and I can only flee west into the Zhou State, and then go south to Jiangling and return to the Chen State! This time, the abbot saved Shiro and sent a horse to entangle with me, will the abbot get into trouble? After all, Gao Changgong is still desperately trying to catch me! Xiao Yao said worriedly.
"Haha, you can rest assured of this, he has sealed Luoyang so tightly, but he still let you fly out, this is his responsibility, and here are all Lao Qu's disciples, they will not go out randomly, plus now Shaolin Temple in front of the emperor, there is also some weight, even if this Gao Taiwei is also a relative of the emperor, he should not do anything to Lao Ga! However, in order to reduce some unnecessary trouble, General Xiao still left as soon as possible, and after the dawn, I will immediately send someone to inform Captain Gao, you will surrender, and then take the opportunity to seize the horse and escape, so I believe he will not suspect it! Huiguang smiled.
"Thank you Abbot for saving your life, Shiro is unforgettable! There will be a period later! "After that, Xiao Yao rode his horse and galloped wildly, and continued to flee to the Zhou Kingdom in the west!
