Wei Qiang and Master Huiyuan chatted very speculatively, about the country, the nation and the people, this worldly master who lived in seclusion in the mountains and old forests had a unique and in-depth understanding. I don't know much about the underground party of the Chinese Communist Party. This is also the reason why he sent Qian Jun to apply for the Huangpu Military Academy that year.

Wei Qiang changed his words, brought the topic to the current situation, and asked, "I wonder what Master Huiyuan thinks about the Japanese invasion of our country?" In other words, will China perish? ”

"A big country, a big country that has been up and down for 5,000 years, was still destroyed by little Japan? Joke! Master Huiyuan said angrily: "Little Japan's fight against China is actually a lack of people's hearts and swallowing elephants. With their country of projectiles, even if China is defeated, how can it be governed? At present, they are indeed stronger than China with their strong economic and military strength. But after they occupied China, how would they govern it? As long as each township sends 100 Japanese, will it digest the population of the whole country? And these 100 Japanese will easily be wiped out by us Chinese. I heard that the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were fighting behind enemy lines, which made the Japanese miserable. They are good at fighting guerrilla warfare, and they run away after fighting, and if all of China fights the Japanese devils like the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, will people be able to stay in China? ”

Master Huiyuan's point of view is actually highly similar to "On Protracted War". Wei Qiang has to admire, don't think that he lives outside the world, he only knows the morning bell and dusk drums, and recites the Buddhist scriptures!

"Master Huiyuan, he is a layman. Usually doing a small business, it is difficult to even make a living. I really don't dare to talk about national affairs. But listening to your words today, I suddenly felt that my mouth was suddenly opened. I don't have any brains, but I'm still very patriotic, and if I have the opportunity to fight little Japan, maybe I will rush forward and kill a few Japanese to relieve my hatred. ”

Wei Qiang pretended not to be like it, and Master Huiyuan's eyes were like torches, staring at his face, taking a closer look, and saying, "You are not a layman, nor are you a bad person. You're a strong man. A strong man hidden in the depths. As for who you are, I can't tell. But I'm sure you're not a bad person. Otherwise, I wouldn't have left you to spend the night at the temple. Even if I keep you, I can easily subdue the two of you. One of the reasons why I didn't do that was that I had compassion. The monks are compassionate. The second is that you are not evil in nature. I don't believe you're going to do it with an innocent person. ”

The words "a strong man hidden in the depths" made Wei Qiang feel slightly shocked. When you think about it, you're an agent lurking behind enemy lines. I really let Master Huiyuan get it right. This old mage is simply clever. He has a very unique eye for people.

Wei Qiang originally brought up the matter of Qian Jun, but finally held back. The old mage is a man who values chance very much. Before the fate arrives, speaking out early can only make things more stiff. With such a large Baoling Temple and more than a dozen buildings, it is very easy to hide a Longquan sword. If there are still mechanisms and secret passages in it, then the possibility of finding the Longquan Sword is even lower. As long as this sword is still on Chinese soil, then it is a Chinese thing.

Thinking of this, Wei Qiang got up and said goodbye to Master Huiyuan. If you continue to talk about it, you may reveal your identity.

Wei Qiang and Luo Xin slept in the temple until dawn. When they awoke, they washed up and said goodbye to the old master.

"Wait, I'll send you two beads. May you all have a blessed life. ”

Venerable Hui Yuan took out two strings of sandalwood beads from the incense table and gave one to each person. The two of them wore Buddhist beads from the master around their necks, happily went down the mountain, and looked at a pile of ruins at the entrance of Qianjia Village. The ruins had apparently been the result of a fire, and it was pitch black, and an old farmer was bending over to clean up something in the ruins.

Wei Qiang was moved, walked up and asked, "Uncle, why did this house burn?" ”

That hometown is Qian Lao Liu, with a sad look. Seeing the two men in front of him, with Buddhist beads around his neck, he looked like pilgrims who went to the temple to worship Buddha. Those who burn incense and worship the Buddha are people with good intentions. Qian Lao Liu had no hostility towards them, but told him frankly: "The fire the night before yesterday was really inexplicable, and it burned my house to the ground. If it weren't for the people in the village who rescued us, we would have been even worse. ”

The night before yesterday? That is, the first day that Qian Jun and Lian Bu Zhichi left. Why did a fire happen at such a clever time?

Wei Qiang said with concern: "Ordinary people have encountered a fire. It's really bankrupt. ”

"Who says it isn't! Everything that was eaten and used at home was reduced to ashes. The rest of the scorched earth is not edible. Fortunately, Qian Jun donated ten yuan to me, and asked me to go to the mountains to cut down some trees and ask someone to build another house. ”

Wei Qiang threw Qian Lao Liu an old knife brand cigarette and asked curiously, "Who is Qian Jun?" How is it so good? ”

"He's a big celebrity in our village. At the age of five, he studied martial arts with Master Huiyuan, and at the age of 20, he was admitted to the Huangpu Military Academy. Young and promising, and good to the people in the village. The people in the village looked at him, which one didn't give a thumbs up? ”

"Oh, that's good."

Wei Qiang chatted with Qian Lao Liu for a few words, basically figured out the causes and consequences of the fire, and left Qianjia Village.

Walking out of the village, he looked back at Qianjia Village and felt that this village was more like a cloth bag. It's easy to get in, but hard to get out. If something happens, you only need to tie the mouth of the cloth bag at the entrance of the village, that is, to beat the dog behind closed doors. Wei Qiang could almost conclude that the fire in Qian Laoliu's house should have been set by the Japanese. Lian Bu Zhichi deliberately set a fire to mess up Qianjia Village, and then took advantage of the chaos to go to Qian Jun's house and steal the Longquan Sword!

And judging from Master Huiyuan's calm attitude, the Longquan Sword should still be in Baolin Temple. There is only one possibility, what Lian Bu Zhichi stole must be a fake sword. This is the genius of Qian Jun. He was worried that this sword, in order to cause the Japanese to come to Qianjia Village to burn and loot, it was better to give them a favor and let them return with a full load.

What exactly happened in this, Wei Qiang did not know. But the general clues were clear, which strengthened his conjecture. There is no longer any need for them to stay in Xiangshan County. The Longquan Sword is still safe for the time being.

On the way home, Luo Xin asked dissatisfiedly, "Master, let's go back like this?" ”

Wei Qiang asked rhetorically: "What else do you want to do?" ”

"Empty-handed, walking in disgrace, how can we explain to Secretary Deng?"

"Well, I don't need you to deal with it. I'll explain it clearly. You remembered for me, you just followed me to Xiangshan County for a trip. I don't know anything else. ”

Luo Xin scratched his ears depressedly, not knowing how much information the master had hidden from him. ntent
