Chapter 46: The Sacred Duel

In a col of the Guanyin Terrace of Zhongnan Mountain, between the shades of the trees, you can vaguely see the eaves flying corners, and a temple with vermilion walls. A mountain spring flows slowly in front of the temple, the birds and flowers are fragrant by the stream, the scenery is picturesque, like a holy place in the world.

Pushing open the temple door under the shade of ancient trees, entering the main hall in the middle, several clay Buddha statues smiled kindly. There are fresh fruits and incense candles on the table in front of the sitting, but there is no shadow of half a monk.

After passing by, he and Liuliuzi rejoiced in a few coppers in the merit box, and went around the main hall to the backyard. At a glance, the open space in the backyard is full of vegetables and fruits. A white-clothed monk was watering the vegetable patch one by one, and there was actually a bit of dust.

"Such a quiet and solemn Buddhist holy place was actually turned into a vegetable field by you. Little monk, aren't you afraid that the Buddha will rain down thunder and anger and take you away? He said with a grin.

"The Holy Land of Buddhism, a shameless person like you has come to be defiled." When the monk Wuhua saw the road at a glance, he was not angry.

"Anyway, Liuliuzi and I just gave a few copper incense money, don't you have a good face as a monk?" I said very dissatisfied.

"There are almost no pilgrims and believers here, and there is no flower to practice here, and there is no shortage of your copper incense money." Wuhua said coldly.

"There are no other monks here?" When I passed, I didn't feel the coldness of the flowerless monk at all.

Wuhua shook her head.

"What about the little nun? I always have a beautiful little nun who I see pity. He smiled evilly.

Wuhua's face suddenly darkened, and he turned his head and ignored the road.

"Luoluo, Luoluo! You've come all the way to see you, and you haven't come out to prepare some tea to entertain you. "It's a shameless shout.

The little nun who ran out in small steps in the side hall was still dressed in a tie and her bald head was shiny. When he saw the road, he was a little happy and a little afraid, and said softly: "My brother is here, Luoluo will go and make tea for you." ”

Seeing the little nun walking carefully guarding her lower abdomen, she turned her head and looked at the flowerless monk with envy: "You are a merry little monk, you are good, you actually let Luoluo have it so quickly." Now your sister can rest assured that your Gu family will not be left behind. ”

"I don't need you to worry about my family's affairs. What is the matter with you coming here? "Wuhua still looks cold.

He glanced at Liuzi beside him, waved his hand to let him avoid it, and then said worriedly: "Your sister said that she would contact me in Chang'an, it's been so long, and there is no news at all, do you think I can not be in a hurry?" ”

"Together with Yang Xing'er, they are in the Tianxian Building of Pingkangfang. Whether or not to contact you is her business, not my business, and I can't ask if I ask. "Without a flower, a stinky face hasn't changed.

With a "snap", he walked over and slapped Wuhua on the head: "Since I entered your broken temple, you have kept showing me a look." Who helped you get your little girl, and now you are about to have a son, are you so grateful to your benefactor? Besides, what kind of relationship does I have with your sister? If you don't teach you a lesson, you will not be distinguished from the young and the old. ”

"I'll tell you when you're on the road, you're a year or two younger than me, and if you hit me on the head like this, be careful that I turn my face." Wuhua said angrily.

"Turn your face, what kind of face, what kind of relationship do we have, can we still turn our faces. I'm coming to you this time because I'm looking for your help. "I got down to business.

A few days have passed, Taiyi Pond in Zhongnan Mountain is a mountain lake, surrounded by high peaks, the pool surface is rippling, the mountain light and water shadow, the scenery is very beautiful. It's just that in the open space on the west shore of the lake, the two groups of people are facing each other with weapons, glaring angrily, without the meaning of appreciating the lake and mountains at all.

"Boss Hu, you said that these so-called battles in the rivers and lakes, I understand that the purpose of choosing a place with few people is to avoid the eyes and ears of the government. I don't understand why I chose such a beautiful place. He looked at the cave not far away, and asked Boss Hu in a low voice.

"The competition in the rivers and lakes is a very sacred thing. Choosing such a place, firstly, is to leave a legend, and secondly, in case of defeat and death, this place of bones must also have pleasant scenery. "Boss Hu rarely acted as a senior in front of the road.

After thinking about it, I also felt that there was a little bit of truth, so I couldn't help but nod.

"Young master, what kind of colorless and tasteless soulless incense of yours has been burning for so long. Do you say that there are still awake people who are hiding in caves? Boss Hu asked the way with a frightened look in his eyes.

"It should be okay, let's go, go over and have a look." He patted his shirt and got up and walked towards the cave.

Seeing the five guards of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce lying on the ground in the cave, he gently kicked the crossbow machine on the ground, and scolded in his mouth: "What a sacred competition in the rivers and lakes, these guys even brought a strong crossbow in the army." As soon as this guy lit up, he had no choice but to surrender and admit defeat and let others slaughter him. ”

After passing by, he was still sighing, Boss Hu was already familiar with the road, and he turned over on the guards there, and he didn't even give anyone a copper left. I didn't stop when I was on the road, so I looked at him coldly.

"Hehe, I'm used to it." Boss Hu raised his face and smiled, but the movements in his hands still did not stop.

"It's a good harvest." After passing by, he looked at Boss Hu fixedly.

"It's just more than twenty taels, it turns out that these guys are not very rich." Boss Hu put the broken silver and copper into his pocket.

"And then?" Passing by, he stared at Boss Hu's bag of silver coins.

"Isn't it, young master, you even want me to share such a small amount of money?" Boss Hu looked at the road in disbelief.

"What do you say? Besides, now that you and Liuzi have more money than labor, can I not share it? He said hatefully.

"Little Seventh Young Grandma is good at everything, but she manages the young master's money too much." Boss Hu looked at the road with a sympathetic face, and reluctantly parted half of the way out.

"Put these crossbows away, you can't leave them to these guys." He pointed to the crossbow machine on the ground.

"Bring these things, but it's forbidden, young master!" Boss Hu was taken aback.

"Don't worry about it, I have my own plans." He waved his hand.

The two wrapped up the crossbow machine with their clothes, and one of them carried some on his back, and then went to meet the monk Wuhua and the two of them.

Outside another cave, Wuhua greeted him: "I thought it would take a lot of effort, but I didn't expect it to be a little fragrant, so I fell to the ground, and I didn't need to do anything at all." ”

"Boss Hu, you go in with Liuzi to clean up, you already know what to do. Pack up, take your things, and meet in the flowerless temple. The competition over there is almost over, so I'll go over and have a look. "I walked by and gave Ambassador Hu a look.

A gust of lake breeze blows, making people feel refreshed. But the two people who competed by the lake were still sweaty on their foreheads, panting, and it was obvious that this competition had consumed a lot of their physical strength.

The figures of the two flashed, and they were entangled again in an instant, swords and swords, gold and iron, and everyone was not nervous. The middle-aged Taoist was killed, this time he did not retreat but advanced, and the figure jumped up, and the long sword in his hand stabbed straight into the thin man's chest.

This sword is extremely fast, and it carries a momentum of moving forward bravely, making it impossible for the lean man to avoid it. I saw that he was on one side of his body, avoiding the vital point in his chest, fighting to injure his arm, and stabbing the middle-aged Taoist thigh with his backhand.

Seeing that the long sword was about to pierce into the opponent's arm, the middle-aged Taoist retracted his strength, and the sword blade stopped at half a point of the thin man's arm. And the man's long knife also faintly stopped not far from the Taoist's thigh.

"Huh! turned over the river and the sea with one hand, and the thigh of the poor road was almost injured in the hands of Luo Da. As soon as the Taoist put away his long sword, he smiled.

"If the Taoist leader doesn't stop this blow with the wind, most of the arms under him will not be able to be saved. The man invited by the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce also deeply admired this person.

Some of the two who sympathized with each other waved their hands and no longer wanted to fight, and this competition was a draw.

The other party invited the Taoist master of Shangqingguan, and it was not easy to win by competition. It seems that the only way to do it yourself is to do it yourself. Wang Qi, the leader of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, stood up calmly with a long beard in his hand and a long sword hanging from his waist.

"In the last competition, let Wang Qi of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce personally ask Hu Da from the Qingyun Association for advice.";

Hu Yun was not polite, and directly picked up the hammer that usually strikes iron, and stood in front of Wang Qi: "Hu Yun lost, dissolve the Qingyun Society." You, Wang Qi, lost, and the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce no longer interfered in the affairs of the various families in the West City. Without further ado, please! ”

"Wait, wait!" The road rushed forward from behind the crowd on the side of the Qingyun Club.

"I thought you wouldn't come to see the show, but you hid and peeked. Since you want to see it, stand aside and watch it, and don't delay our fight. Hu Yun was unceremoniously ready to give way, and flashed aside.

"Hehe" smiled on the way: "My nephew is looking at it on the side, and my hands are itching unnaturally, I don't know if Uncle Hu can give this competition to my nephew, so that my nephew can try his skills." ”

Hu Yun was a little embarrassed, this competition was about the life and death of the Yunqing Gang, it was not a child's play, how could he easily give way.

"Uncle Hu, even if you don't believe in your nephew's skills, you should also believe in the drunkard's kung fu, no matter what your nephew says, you can learn a point or two, how about letting your nephew play?" He piled up smiling faces and continued to beg Hu Yun.

Thinking of Li Bai's unpredictable swordsmanship, Hu Yun touched his head and nodded helplessly: "Okay, let your Uncle Hu see your skills." ”
