Chapter 26: The First Acquaintance and Retirement (2)

The person who was called "Little Master Kongming" turned out to be a bald monk, and when he heard someone call him, he looked at Cao Lixiang in surprise, but he couldn't remember who the other party was for a while.

"I'm ...... Wild boy! Cao Lixiang said loudly to the monk called Kong Ming.

"Wild boy...... Cao Lixiang! Kong Ming finally recognized Cao Lixiang.

"Yes, it's me, Cao Lixiang!" Cao Lixiang looked at Kong Ming excitedly, "Oops! Stop fighting, everyone is a good person! Cao Lixiang seemed to understand something, and she shouted loudly to the people on both sides in the battle.

Although Cao Lixiang didn't know Luo Shiyin's true identity, through a short period of contact, she determined that these unknown people were definitely not bad people.

The two sides stopped fighting.

"It's the abbot of Jinguang Temple, right?" Li Ruzhu put away her weapon and asked one of the masked men.

The masked man who was asked came over and asked Li Ruzhu, "...... are you?" ”

"I am a former Pyongyang garrison general, and my name is Li Ruzhu."

The masked man listened to Li Ruzhu's self-introduction, and hurriedly walked over to give a salute, "Then they ......" He glanced at Luo Shiyin and the others with his eyes.

"They're here to help us fight the robbers." Li Ruzhu did not tell the other party the true identities of the team members.

"It's rude, disrespectful, disrespectful!" The masked man apologized to the team members as he pulled the mask off his head with his hand.

The other masked men followed his example and removed their masks.

All bald heads.

These monks were members of the "wolf extermination team" that terrified the thieves near Pyongyang.

Since the Japanese occupied Pyongyang, the people of the city have taken refuge in the nearby mountains. Rampant Japanese soldiers often came out of Pyongyang in groups, searched for young women who had taken refuge in the mountains, and forcibly rushed into the city to ravage them.

The monks in Jinguang Temple are all strong in martial arts. In order to ensure the safety of the party, under the leadership of the abbot Xiuneng, they selected more than 20 masters from the monks in the temple to form a "wolf removal team" to fight against the Japanese soldiers who went to the mountains to rob women. In order not to reveal their identities, they wore black tight-fitting masked clothes for each operation, and used captured Toyo samurai swords as weapons to blind the enemy.

The reason why they attacked Luo Shiyin's squad in Wild Wolf Valley this time was because they saw several people in the squad with a woman, and they mistakenly judged the team members to be Japanese soldiers.

"Master, you're welcome. We call it no fight, no deal, right? Li Ruzhu happily returned the salute to the abbot of Hueneng, and at the same time turned his face to Luo Shiyin as he spoke.

Xie Yuan translated Li Ruzhu's words to Luo Shiyin.

"Yes, yes, yes, no deal." Luo Shiyin continued Li Ruzhu's words.

"Hey, General Li, how can I hear this friend speak as if it were a Ming language?" After listening to Luo Shiyin's words, Abbot Xiu Neng asked.

Before the detachment set out from Uiju, the DPRK side recommended Abbot Xiu Neng to Luo Shiyin, saying that Abbot Xiu Neng was a patriotic monk who had a certain influence in Pyongyang and might play a helpful role in the reconnaissance activities. The first step of the team's plan to reconnoiter Pyongyang was to go to the Gimguang Temple and get in touch with Abbot Hueneng, hoping to get help from him.

Li Ruzhu walked to the abbot of Huneng and whispered the situation of the team to the abbot of Hueneng.

"Sin, sin! Several great heroes have traveled thousands of miles to help our state get rid of thieves, but the old man mistook you for thieves and almost injured his benefactor. I hope you will forgive me! After listening to Li Ruzhu's introduction, Abbot Xiuneng hurriedly came to Luo Shiyin's side to apologize.

Xie Yuan translated Xiu Neng's words to Luo Shiyin locally.

"You're welcome. The old hero should be strong and strong, and he can protect the safety of one party. Respectable, respectable! Luo Shiyin returned the salute with a fist.

Xie Yuan translated Luo Shiyin's words to Abbot Xiuneng again.

"The hero has won the award, but the old man just did what he could, which is not enough to worry about. Please ask a few heroes to follow me to the temple, and let the old man prepare some coarse tea and light rice to apologize slightly. See what the Boss can do to help a few heroes. The abbot of Huneng first said a few words of modesty, and then extended an invitation to Luo Shiyin.

After Xie Yuan translated Hu Neng's words for Luo Shiyin, Luo Shiyin readily agreed.

Seeing that everyone had finished greeting, Cao Lixiang ran over to catch up with Kongming.

It turned out that this Jinguang Temple was not far from the village of Cao Lixiang's mother's family. When he was a child, Cao Lixiang often went to the small river in front of Jinguang Temple with his friends in the village to play. At that time, Kong Ming was just a young novice who had just become a monk, and he often went to the river in front of the temple with a few accomplices to fetch water and wash clothes. After a long time, Kong Ming became familiar with Cao Lixiang and their group of friends. At that time, Cao Lixiang loved to run and make trouble, so her friends nicknamed her "Wild Boy". Cao Lixiang, who likes to play pranks, often picks up the water in the river with her hands and wets Kong Ming's whole body. Kong Ming not only didn't blame her, but also touched the water on her face with both hands and made all kinds of funny movements, making Cao Lixiang giggle.

Later, with age. The opportunities for the two to meet became less and less, and after Cao Lixiang married in Pyongyang City, the two never met again.

The guide who guided Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu saw that the task had been completed, so he exchanged a few words with everyone and returned to Yizhou.

On the way to Jinguang Temple, Shi Lang briefly reported to Luo Shiyin that on the way to Pyongyang, he found the "black butterfly" Izumo Kumi in Longyuan Temple.

"It seems that we will have to be careful of this 'flower butterfly' in the future." After listening to Shi Lang's report, Luo Shiyin said.

Through the conversation with the abbot of Huneng along the way, Luo Shiyin had a comprehensive understanding of Hueneng, he admired the actions of the abbot of Hueneng, and had a sense of heroic sympathy with the abbot of Huneng and hatred of seeing each other.

While speaking, everyone has already climbed the Golden Light Peak.

From a distance, Jinguang Temple is smaller than Longyuan Temple, and the whole temple sits in the north and faces south, sitting on the top of Jinguang Peak. The bright sunlight shining on the golden walls of the temple gave it a feeling of golden light.

When he came to the temple, the abbot specially took out the three treasures tea made of Angelica dahurica, wolfberry and chrysanthemum to entertain the members of the team.

Abbot Huneng was a quick-talking man, and after some conversations, he directly pointed out the primary difficulty faced by the team in investigating Pyongyang: "After the Japanese occupied Pyongyang, they strengthened the access control of the city gates, and ordinary people had to hold the passes issued by the Japanese people to enter and exit the city gates. Without a pass, it is very difficult to get into town. ”

"Isn't there any other way to get into the city?" Luo Shiyin looked at the abbot with an inquiring gaze.

Abbot Hunneng pondered for a moment and shook his head helplessly.

Luo Shiyin took a sip of the teacup slowly, as if thinking about countermeasures: "Bau once proposed to climb into the city of Pyongyang at night, at that time Luo Shiyin did not express his position on this proposal, this method has a certain feasibility, with the skills of a few subordinates accompanying him, it is easy to cross the tall Pyongyang city wall, even if Xie Yuan does not know martial arts, he can still climb the city wall with the help of others." However, there are many unpredictable risks associated with this law. In order to successfully complete the reconnaissance mission, it is necessary to ensure that the Japanese people are not alarmed when entering the city, otherwise, even if they are lucky enough to enter the city, it will be difficult to complete the next reconnaissance mission. ”

"I don't know how to get a pass for the Japanese people?" Luo Shiyin thought for a while and asked Hunneng.

"This pass for the Japanese is uniformly produced and issued by the highest command organization of the Japanese army in Pyongyang, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to get it. However, there is a pass in the old temple, I wonder if a few can use it? Hunneng looked at Luo Shiyin and said.

"I wonder how the old hero got this pass?" Luo Shiyin asked.

Xiu Neng said: "The commander-in-chief of the Japanese army in Pyongyang, Governor Konishi, has an interpreter named Jingzhe Xuansu, who is a monk. After the Japanese army entered the city, Jing Zhe Xuansu didn't know how to inquire about my Jinguang Temple, and he heard that there were several monks in Jinguang Temple who were familiar with Buddhism, so he wanted to come to visit in person. But for his own safety, he just sent his men to Jinguang Temple, and asked Jinguang Temple to send senior monks into the city to discuss Buddhism and Buddhism with him. The old man couldn't shirk it, so he had to let the archmage of the temple go to Wuguang twice. In order to facilitate the entry and exit of the city gate, Jing Zhe Xuansu applied for a pass for Wuguang. ”

"Can you take a look at the pass?" Luo Shiyin asked.

"No problem." The abbot said and motioned to the temple master Wuguang, who was sitting on the side, to get the pass.

"Donor, please see." After a while, Wuguang took the pass and handed it to Luo Shiyin.

After Luo Shiyin took the pass and looked at it twice, a glimmer of light immediately flashed in his eyes, and a set of ingenious plans for entering the city was formed in his mind.
