Chapter 22: Wild Roses Fight Flowers and Butterflies
Climb a high hill and look around, the Jindalee flowers are blooming all over the mountain, warm and gorgeous. In spring, the mountains are full of life. It is hard to imagine that the country in front of us is a ruined country with a ruined land and a miserable devastated people.
Under the guidance of the guide, Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu walked on the mountain road to Pyongyang.
Looking at the beautiful mountain scenery in front of her and the beloved person walking like flying around her, Ye Ruliu felt extremely relaxed and comfortable in her heart. All sadness and unhappiness have long since been erased from my heart.
"Ru Liu, why does everyone call you 'Wild Rose'?" Shi Lang asked as he walked.
"You are still a dignified Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and you don't even know this bit of common sense. In our Salt Gang, every time a new gang leader succeeds to the throne, a tattoo must be tattooed on the back of the new gang leader. If the new gang leader is a man, he will stab a golden snake in his back. If it is a woman, pierce the rose. The so-called 'female thorn rose, male thorn snake. Ye Ruliu replied.
"It's so imaginative, a beautiful female helper has a gorgeous rose blooming on her body." Shi Lang pretended to sigh.
"Then you can imagine it." Ye Ruliu took advantage of Shi Lang's pretending to be intoxicated, and naughtily stuffed the petals of the few Jindalai flowers he had just picked into Shi Lang's neck, and then ran forward with a smile.
The two chased and fought as much as they could, until they were both tired and panting.
Infected by Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu's cheerful mood, the guide followed behind the two, running with a smile on his face, happily watching a pair of young men and women chasing and playing in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them had reached the bottom of the mountain. Ye Ruliu suddenly remembered something, she said to Shi Lang: "Yesterday I went to Longyuan Temple to ask you for the antidote, the old abbot was very happy, after hearing about your injury, he gave me the antidote without saying a word." This trip to Pyongyang happened to pass by Yongwon Temple, should we stop by to thank them? ”
Shi Lang immediately agreed to Ye Ruliu. The three of them rushed in the direction of Longyuan Temple.
Longyuan Temple is located at the southern foot of Longyuan Mountain, the Buddhist temple covers an area of about 60,000 square meters, the temple hall, the wing room layout is strictly neat, there are the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Guanyin Palace, the Tibetan scripture building, the bell tower, the monk's house and other buildings. On both sides of the gate are two majestic stone lions. The whole temple looks majestic.
Ye Ruliu, Shi Lang and the guide were led by a young monk to the main hall to meet the abbot Huijing.
Abbot Huijing is tall and wears a red robe, and although he is over sixty years old, his face is still full of red.
"Master, thank you for saving my friend with the antidote!" Ye Ruliu clasped her hands together and bowed down to thank Abbot Huijing.
"Master, thank you for saving your life!" Shi Lang also hurriedly saluted Abbot Huijing.
"Amitabha, good, good. Seeing the donor's physical recovery, the old man was deeply grateful. You're welcome. Unexpectedly, Lao Wei has rescued two Ming friends one after another in the past few days, which is good. Hui Jing held the Buddha beads in her hand, and her voice was loud.
"Master, I wonder if the other Ming friend you said was rescued ......?" Listening to Abbot Huijing's words, Ye Ruliu immediately became alert, and she asked eagerly.
"Don't hide it from the two donors, a few days ago, two little novices in our temple went to the Yalu River to release their lives, and saw a woman lying on the bank in the rocks, the woman was wounded by an arrow, and her breath was weak. The two novices hurriedly carried him back to the temple. It was the old man who personally healed his wounds. The woman woke up claiming to be a subject of the Ming Dynasty and was wounded on the boat. Abbot Huijing patiently recounted the process of saving the woman.
"Is this person still in the temple?" Shi Lang had a vague premonition of something, so he asked.
Abbot Huijing's words made Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu think of one person at the same time - "Flower Butterfly".
"Still recuperating in the backyard meditation room." Abbot Huijing replied.
"The two of us are also people from the Ming Dynasty, and I hope the master will introduce that woman." Ye Ruliu said.
"Okay, three donors, please come with me." After Hui Jing finished speaking, she turned around and walked to the backyard.
Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu looked at each other and knew each other tacitly.
The backyard is the meditation room in the temple. A woman is watering the flower bed in front of the meditation room.
"Three donors, this person is." Hui Jing led Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu and the guide into the meditation room, pointed to the woman and said.
The woman turned her back to the few people who walked in, and didn't notice that Hui Jing and Shi Lang had walked into the courtyard gate.
"Flower butterfly!" Ye Ruliu yelled at the woman who was watering the flowers.
The woman who was watering the flowers trembled and immediately turned around.
Ye Ruliu didn't say a word, flew forward, and slashed at the woman with her palm. The woman deftly sidestepped and looked for an opportunity to shoot back. The two of them went back and forth, fighting for more than 20 rounds in the open space by the flower bed. Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Ye Ruliu shook his fist, jumped out of the formation, and Chong Shilang said with certainty: "It's not wrong, it's her!" ”
Ye Ruliu suddenly called "Flower Butterfly" just now, and when she saw the woman instinctively turn her head, she already felt that she was inseparable from ten in her heart, and then by fighting with the woman, she immediately saw that the woman's move was exactly the same as that of the masked woman who fought in front of the Dandong Night Incense Inn a few days ago. Ye Ruliu immediately concluded: This person is the "flower butterfly".
Yes, the woman in front of her is the gold medal killer 'Flower Butterfly' of the Wa Guo Jiahe Concentric Association.
On that day, after being shot with an arrow by the clairvoyant, the "Flower Butterfly" lurked under the water using the ninja water escape technique he had learned. After the team landed on the shore, she surfaced in severe pain and swam to the river. When he swam to the shore, he fainted among the rocks on the shore due to exhaustion. until he was rescued by the monks in Longyuan Temple.
Shi Lang saw that the woman seemed to have the intention of escaping, so he immediately pulled out the embroidered spring knife on his body and forced it towards the "flower butterfly".
Seeing that the situation was not good, "Flower Butterfly" immediately ran to Abbot Huijing's side, knelt on the ground with a "plop", hugged the old abbot's legs with both hands, and said in a pleading tone: "Master, save the little girl!" The other day, these two men robbed me of my belongings on the boat and wounded me with arrows. Unexpectedly, they still didn't give up, and even came to the door to kill me. Help, Master! ”
"Master, don't listen to her! She is a native of the Japanese country, and she is the gold medal killer 'Flower Butterfly' of the Wakoku Koga Harmony Association, and she is here to help the Japanese invade the territory of Korea. Ye Ruliu said solemnly to Abbot Huijing.
"Wronged, master, I'm a defenseless weak woman, how can I be a 'flower butterfly'? They are clearly arguing with reason, just trying to kill people and kill people. I beg the Master not to listen to their nonsense!" Flower Butterfly" begged Abbot Huijing while pretending to cry pitifully.
"I think it's better to stop talking nonsense with her, it's better to kill her with a knife!" Shi Lang saw that the "flower butterfly" was so quibbling, so he waved the embroidered spring knife in his hand and said.
"Wait! How can the Buddha Sect kill willfully in the pure land! Abbot Huijing couldn't tell the truth from the fake for a while, and he waved his hand to stop Shi Lang.
"Master, if you don't kill her today, once the tiger returns to the mountain in the future, it will definitely harm the people!" Ye Ruliu said eagerly to Abbot Huijing.
"Don't be impatient. I think the four donors might as well live in the temple for the time being, and wait for the old man to check the authenticity before making a decision? Although Hui Jing spoke in a consultative tone, after he finished speaking, he clapped his hands lightly without waiting for Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu to express their opinions. In an instant, more than 20 warrior monks ran in from outside the courtyard gate, each holding an iron-clad Qimei stick in his hand.
Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu didn't want to fall out with Abbot Huijing. In this case, we have to wait and see what happens.
"Flower Butterfly" was locked up alone in one room, and Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu and the guide were locked up in another room. At the door of each house stood two warrior monks with sticks.
Ye Ruliu was a little bored admiring the green lantern ancient Buddha in the room. Suddenly, she had a plan in her mind and said to the warrior monk outside the door: "Little master, please excuse me, I want to see the abbot, I have something to say to him." ”
……
In the middle of the night, Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu heard a violent fight outside. The four warrior monks guarding them and the flower butterfly were knocked to the ground by several masked men who suddenly broke in. Immediately afterward, a large number of masked men carrying ninja swords jumped from the wall.
At this time, Abbot Huijing led several monks to rush over. Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu and the guide also walked out the door.
Two masked men walked to the door of the room where "Flower Butterfly" was being held, opened the door, and respectfully welcomed her out.
"Hahaha! Yes, I'm the gold medal killer of the Wakuni Koga Concentric Association, known as the "Flower Butterfly" Izumo Kumi. Even you bald asses and you two dare to compete with me. Those who oppose our Yamato nation will end up with only a dead end. You don't have to look at it, but now almost the entire territory of Korea is trampled by my Yamato's iron hooves. Sooner or later, the Ming Dynasty will also become our bag. "Flower Butterfly" walked out of the door, and saw that the ninjas of the Japanese Kingdom who came to rescue her were far more numerous than the other party, and her pride was overflowing, she walked up to Ye Ruliu and continued: "If you want to kill me, it's not that simple. If I hadn't wanted to keep me alive, I could have killed you right now. ”
"Hahaha......" Kumi Izumo had just finished speaking, and everyone in the entire courtyard except her burst into laughter. The masked men immediately ripped off their hoods. Showing bald heads one by one.
The so-called masked people were originally disguised as warrior monks in the temple, and the ninja knives they carried were also temporarily made of wood.
"The female benefactor is really a good plan!" Abbot Huijing looked at Ye Ruliu with an approving gaze and said.
"The master has won the prize." Ye Ruliu said modestly.
Ye Ruliu finally let the "flower butterfly" show its fox tail with a strategy of wanting to catch the old man.
"You...... You ......" Kumi Izumo was surrounded by the warrior monks, and she looked around in panic, trying to find an opportunity to escape.
"'Flower Butterfly', don't catch it yet!" Shi Lang shouted to Izumo Kumi.
Kumi Izumo suddenly took a sideways step and used her extremely fast skills to control one of the closest warrior monks.
"All back off! Otherwise, I'll kill him. Izumo Kumi locked her hand on the monk's throat and shouted inwardly.
The warrior monks had no choice but to retreat.
Kumi Izumo took the hostages and retreated towards the back door of the temple. Considering the safety of the hostages, everyone did not dare to approach rashly, so they could only cautiously follow Kumi Izumo and wait for an opportunity to find a fighter.
Everyone came to the back door of the temple in a stalemate, and Izumo Kumi kicked away the hostage with a strong kick, followed by a few tumbling and moving, jumping out of the distance, and then quickly fleeing into the depths of the mountain.
The warrior monks in the temple wanted to catch up, but were stopped by Ye Ruliu: "Don't chase, all the ninjas of the Wa Kingdom are proficient in the art of ninjas, and camouflage, escape, and hiding in the mountains are what they are good at, and they can't catch up." This time it's cheaper for her. ”
