Since Zhuqiu remembered, Yuezhou has used the Western calendar, although both his grandfather and father taught him another calendar, but only on festivals can use the calendar, he never remembered it.

Something strange happened to the house. The first day, my wet nurse told herself; But the next day, she changed her story and said that something terrible had happened in the house. When the nurse said this, her body trembled. Zhu Qiu didn't know what was going on, he only thought about when he would ride his pony again and run on the river behind the mansion, and the sound of horses' hooves and the fierce wind blowing in his face always made him feel full of strength. Sometimes I want to open my arms and shout out loud. That's what he did when he first ran a horse. was severely reprimanded by his father for an hour, and punished himself for copying the son of the morning.

On the morning of the third day, the nurse hurried back to the house, packed up a bag, ran to her mother's house, and then came out and left. Mother followed. So he was liberated. Because he was already the oldest man in this yard.

He found the dog hole that had been dug a long time ago and quietly drilled out. The place where Zhu Qiu wanted to go this time was a Buddhist hall in the northernmost corner of Fangfu. Lately, it has always given him a very mysterious feeling, and he always feels that something is shining in the depths of the temple, and it seems to beckon him to come over.

From the courtyard of Zhuqiu to the Buddha hall, you have to walk from the main gate, which is very far, and you also have to meet many people. You can go out from the dog hole, pass through a bamboo forest, and walk hundreds of steps to the back door of the Buddhist hall. In the past, this road was always quiet. The people of Yuezhou, whether they were aborigines or later expatriates, believed in Buddhism. Around the Buddha hall, even if there are people, they always whisper softly, lest they disturb the Buddha. But today, not only is there some noise at the front door, but there are also some voices quietly boiling here. The voice is not loud, it is bulging, as if everyone has lowered their voices, but everyone is afraid that others will not hear them, and they are a little impatient and loud.

Zhu Qiu thought that this was just a festival coming, and it was just a habitual excitement before the festival. For a period of time before the Chinese New Year, although it was not so noisy, it was also very annoying. Zhu Qiu hated the New Year the most, because as soon as the New Year came, his mother stopped telling stories to him every day, but his father asked him to get up earlier to study and practice.

Zhu Qiu ran to the bamboo forest after a while, the bamboo forest is not big, speaking of which, it was planted by his father when he was there, and when his father planted it at that time, it was not for the sake of the elegance of the literati, but just to add a wall to this Buddhist hall. However, in the eyes of the young Zhu Qiu, it is also a deep enough forest. He skillfully turned left and right in the forest, and then came to the back door of the Buddha hall, pushed the door and walked in.

The backyard of the Buddha hall is not big, and even this Buddha hall is said to be a hall, in fact, it is only three rooms, one main and two attached to the pattern, the main house is dedicated to the Buddha, the east side of the house is the residence of the Zen master, and the west side of the house is used as a classroom. Zhu Qiu also often watched his father play against the Zen master inside. After his father left, the Zen master asked Zhu Qiu to come over every day and teach him some methods in the west side room, but he, a child of five or six years old, did not understand that. Fortunately, the Zen master didn't care either, and just let him go with the flow.

There are many people who come to this Buddha hall, and he always feels that there is something strange in the Buddha hall. After his seventh birthday, this feeling became stronger and stronger, and he always felt that every day when he went to the Buddha hall, there was always something like he should go over and take a look, because it had been waiting for him for a long time. But the Buddha hall is so big, he has been playing all over it since he knew it, and there is nothing special. He couldn't help it these days and decided to ask the Zen master for clarification. Unexpectedly, his mother wanted him to stay in the yard for the past few days, and he was not allowed to go out for a single step. Although I didn't want to, my mother kept watching. He had no choice but to stay in the yard honestly, reading and practicing boxing. Today, I finally took a chance to sneak out, and I met the Zen master for a while, and I must ask for clarification.

I never thought that I walked all over the Buddhist hall and saw no trace of the Zen master. Zhu Qiu listened to the noisy voices in the house in the distance, and was a little depressed, so he sat on the recliner under the shade of the bamboo in the front yard, and after a while, he fell asleep.

In fact, the Zen master is in the Buddha hall, but not on the ground, but underground. At the bottom of this Buddhist hall, there is a dark room, and at this moment the Zen master is inside, facing a rectangular wooden box, smiling bitterly.

This Zen master's Dharma name is Mingkong, which is a vein of Southern Shaolin. When traveling a few years ago, I met Zhu Yizhou, who ran away angrily, and the two hit it off at first sight and walked together. It should also be fate, the two of them got a treasure by coincidence. However, although they got this treasure, the two of them couldn't use it, and they didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, and they didn't want to let it go, so they could only build such a Buddhist hall and put the treasure below. After the Huang family was tragically wiped out, Zhu Yizhou was afraid that the Fang family would be implicated, so he went out alone to attract the attention of Qingmen.

In the past few days, the strange things in the Fang family's mansion, Monk Mingkong naturally knew clearly. In the past few months, the treasure has shone brightly, and it has been chirping even more at night. Now only a master like him can hear it, but it won't be long before even the people of this Fang Mansion can hear the sound of the treasure in the Buddha Hall. At that time, I am afraid that it will cause great trouble.

Compared with that, it is slightly easier to clear the door and seek revenge in front of you.

At this time, in the front hall, Fang Wanrong had already made Zhu Yizhou's matter clear to several brothers. After hearing this, the brothers looked at each other, as if they had heard an incredible dream. That Zhu Yizhou, a person like a down-and-out scholar, turned out to be a descendant of Zhu Ming! This time, it turned out to be the worship sect of the Qing Dynasty! Such an opponent can be fought against by a small Fang family? Such a down-and-out scholar, even if he has nothing to do with them, even if they are a small Fang family, he must stand up and block this chase for him.

It's just a jade burning.

The old Sanfang Shouxin was the first to shout: "Sister, don't worry, no matter what kind of green door and white door it is, if it provokes our Fang family, I always have to let it know that Ma Fangye has three eyes!" ”

Old Sifang Shouli shook his head and said, "The words of the third brother are a little bigger. I know some of the Qingmen, when the Manchu Tartars entered the customs, issued a ban on martial arts, the Central Plains martial arts did not obey the many people, and later, finally provoked the Qingmen, Qingmen burned the Shaolin Temple as soon as he shot; After a few more years, the Central Plains martial arts are already scattered, and most of them have broken their inheritance. What a powerful momentum the Central Plains martial arts had back then, under the coercion of the Qing Gate, it was still like this, and our small Fang family was afraid that it would be even more difficult to escape this catastrophe. ”

The old Sanfang Shouxin has always looked down on his younger brother, and he feels that the fourth man is not a martial artist, and he loves to say frustrating words, this time it is like this again, he said angrily: "If you are afraid, you will go, hide in the back, I will go alone to follow the Qingmen to fight to the death, I don't believe it, he Qingmen is not a head and two arms!" ”

The boss Fang Shoude frowned when he heard this, and took the words: "Father, what the fourth brother said is right, this Qingmen is powerful and strong, and it is not something that our small Fang family can fight against." Although the other party said, 'Chickens and dogs don't stay', but I think, there is a debtor who is wronged, and the Qingmen is coming to our Fang family, if our Fang family is in a catastrophe this time, but it is always a matter of people's business, if we can leave them a way to live, it is better to let them go, and there is no need to give our Fang family a funeral. ”

Fang Xianzhong nodded and said, "The sentence of Shoude is deeply in line with the Buddha's meaning and has great compassion. In this case, you can go out in a while, talk to the people, give some more silver taels, and let them all disperse. ”

But at this moment, the chief manager Fang Fu ran in in a panic, panting and saying to the other party: "Master, no, it's not good, no...... Good...... Finish. ”

Without waiting for Master Fang to ask, Fang Fu took a few breaths and stammered the matter. It turned out that after Fang Shoude let his subordinates disperse just now, Ruan San'er, who raised horses in the backyard, stole the silver taels of the same house, led a horse and ran out of the back door. At that time, people were in a lot of chaos, and no one paid attention. But after a while, Ruan San'er rode back on his horse, but this time he arrived at the front door, and as soon as he arrived at the front door, Ruan San'er and the horse suddenly broke into forty or fifty pieces, becoming a pile of meat puree. scared the two guards who were watching the front door half to death. According to their description, seeing Ruan San'er from a distance, he was a concubine, and when he arrived at the front door, he turned into meat in the blink of an eye.

In the house below, there was silence for a moment.

Originally, there were some people who had the same thoughts, but when they heard about Ruan San'er, they went to the front door to see the pile of meat puree with their own eyes, and no one said anything anymore. can only pin their hopes on the Fang family.

Hearing this news, everyone in the Fang family looked at each other, and even killed the horses together, it seems that Qingmen really wants the Fang family to "leave no chickens and dogs"!

Fang Shouli was the first to say: "What the eldest brother said just now, you don't have to do it." This clearance has made the attitude clear. I think it's better to plan how to deal with it. ”

Fang Shouxin shouted: "How to deal with it, how else can you deal with it, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, they want to come, we will fight with him." ”

Fang Shouli shook his head and said, "If you push forward for more than ten years, the third brother's words will be right." But now is not the time to fight with knives and guns. Now Western firearms are so powerful, there are dozens of guns in our house, and Hu Laosan also has more than a dozen guns, all of them are gathered up, let it clear the door and practice what kind of kung fu it is, and the musket will definitely penetrate it. ”

Fang Xianzhong frowned, and used Western firearms to settle the grievances of the rivers and lakes, and he has always been despised by Wulin. Moreover, if this firearm is used, if it can really block the clearance of the door, although there are some inferior works, it is worth saving these hundreds of people. I'm afraid, even firearms can't stop this clear door. Judging from the death of the cat skin and Ruan San'er, the latter is very likely, you know, the vendetta in the rivers and lakes is different from the battle array, holding a long-distance firearm, if you miss a blow and are suddenly rushed to the front by a master, it is a death, an inch short and an inch dangerous, the words handed down by the old martial arts are not a joke.

But there is a glimmer of hope, which is always good, so Fang Xianzhong agreed to the words of the fourth child, and ordered to gather the guns in the house and hand them over to the fourth child for a brief exercise, and ordered the third child to go to the door and wait for Hu Laosan, Hu Laosan received the news and should come over in a while. He also instructed the boss to organize manpower, and all the people in the house were all guarding in the front yard tonight; The children in the house were all carried to the front hall and watched by him. After the arrangement, Fang Xianzhong went to the back room, found his early big knife, found a good grinding stone, and polished it.
