Volume 1: The Great Song Dynasty Chapter 120: Qijue Temple (1)

Xue Jin'er sat in the carriage and played the pipa, and Chen Ting, the old woman of Guangyuan, sang northern Sichuan folk songs; The group hurried forward, and when they passed by the Weihe Juxian Building, Xue Jin'er asked the horses to stop.

Soon, I saw more than a dozen Diao San, Huohuo, and Tutu, who were trying to hack her sweat and blood last night, rushed out of the mansion and stood at the door to watch.

Diao Sanjian was a funeral procession of hundreds of people, with two coffins on the two carriages in front; A woman is playing with a pipa in one hand, and a woman is singing with her throat open; Next to the two women stood a man with a stick in his hand.

"This is the choir invited by the funeral family! Don't you see them banging and singing? Diao San said to the fire and rabbit on the side: "It seems that this funeral procession is not small, and the status of the dead will not be too low!" ”

Xue Jin'er was playing the pipa in the carriage while shooting her eyes to Diao San's side, and when she saw Diao San dancing and talking, she asked the little maid to bring out a large jar of water from the restaurant and invite the guests to drink.

Xue Jin'er reacted quickly, pulled out a silver hairpin from her hair bun and handed it to Wei Yandao: "Senior, go and test it, if the water is poisonous; Let's fight now, get up and unplug this den of thieves first! ”

Wei Yan didn't dare to slack off, and ran to the water tank sent by the little servant in Juxian Building with the silver hairpin that Xue Jin'er gave him, and said to the villagers: "You all get out of the way for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu should drink it first when he is old!" ”

Seeing this, he hurriedly pulled away a few villagers who were going to come forward to drink water; Wei Yan stepped forward and took advantage of the opportunity to scoop the water to throw the silver hairpin into the water tank, but saw that the silver hairpin did not react; Only then did he mutter a few words to the four brothers of Wei Sheng, saying that this water could be drunk.

The Zhuang guests gathered around to drink water, and Xue Jin'er called Wei Sheng to explain a few words.

Wei Sheng walked up to Diao San with comprehension and bowed and said, "Thank you to the shopkeeper for sending water enthusiastically!" We are General Guo's subordinates, and General Guo and General Li sacrificed their lives for the country; We sent them back to their hometown in Shandong for burial, but the war ahead was tight; Coupled with the hot weather, we intend to change the itinerary and plans! ”

When Diao San heard Wei Sheng say that he planned to change his itinerary and plan, he suddenly became energetic, and stared at Wei Sheng excitedly: "The strong man is reasonable, such a hot celestial person will rot if he can't send it to Shandong; I suggest that you should be buried on the spot! ”

"Buried in place!" Wei Sheng said in his mouth, and said in shock: "The villain's eyes are black in Guanzhong, and he still looks forward to the minister's guidance!" ”

Diao San turned his eyes in the sockets a few times and said, "If the strong man can be trusted, then hurry to Qijue Temple!" ”

"Kijue Temple!" Wei Sheng pretended to be shocked and said, "Where is Qijue Temple?" ”

Diao Sanjiao pointed to the north and said: "20 miles north from our Juxian Building is Qijue Temple, and the abbot of Qijue Temple, Master Hongyuan, is very clever; Let Master Hongyuan do a seven-day dojo for General Guo and General Li to overkill the dead, and then bury the temple cemetery; Then it's not too late to move the bones and the coffin! ”

Under normal circumstances, Diao San's words are not unreasonable; But Xue Jin'er felt that this guy was trying something, so she said to Wei Yan on the side: "Seniors, like the four of them said that they found human bones in Biandangou; Where is not the cemetery of the Awakening Temple! ”

Wei Yan was stunned, glanced at Xue Jin'er and said, "This old man doesn't understand either!" Why don't I go down and ask? ”

Wei Yan said and glanced at Xue Jin'er and said with a smile: "Do you have too many ghost girls, just now let the old man test whether there is poison in the water sent by Diao San; As a result, you're chasing after the wind......"

Xue Jin'er saw Wei Yan being verbose, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Old comrade, please don't make mistakes, you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to defend people; We already know that this guy named Diao San is not a good bird, so we have to guard him everywhere! ”

Wei Yan once again carried out her orders in Xue Jin'er's teasing, and the brave and warlike General Wei actually showed obedience in front of Xue Jin'er, a female streamer; Judging by his arrogance and arrogance in front of Zhuge Liang, this is probably the effect of time passing!

Wei seemed to get out of the carriage again and walked up to Wei like this and said, Wei seemed to come to Wei Sheng and said: "Big brother, this minister's suggestion is simply a charcoal in the snow; However, we have to ask where the cemetery of Qijue Temple is, and whether it is insured where General Guo and General Li are buried! ”

Wei seemed to say this, raised his arm and added: "People say that the talented son of Jiangnan will be the northern general, and the land in Guanzhong will be buried in the emperor; The piles of imperial tombs on the ground in Guanzhong have also attracted batches of tomb robbers, although General Guo and General Li do not have many burial goods, but if the tomb thieves pout the grave, what is an auspicious thing after all! ”

As soon as Wei seemed to say this, Diao San immediately said impassionedly: "The cemetery of Qijue Temple is in Biandangou, which is very safe; Not far away is the mausoleum of Emperor Wen of Sui and Emperor Yang of Sui, although the mausoleum of Emperor Yang of Sui is a mound of clothes; But it has never been stolen and dug up, and it is absolutely safe for General Guo and General Li to be buried there! ”

Xue Jin'er, Wei Sheng and Wei seemed to report the situation, and their hearts suddenly opened up, and Xunsijue Temple was the biggest den of thieves; And Diao San of Weihe Juxian Building and Niu Hong, the bandit leader of Louguanshan, are all part-time workers of Hongyuan, the abbot of Qijue Temple.

After Xue Jin'er told Wei Yan her thoughts, Wei Yan was shocked and said, "According to the judgment of Jin'er's eldest niece, the place where we go deep into the tiger's den should be Qijue Temple instead of Juxian Tower!" ”

Xue Jin'er said with a stern expression: "As long as you take down the Qijue Temple, you will definitely pull out the radish and bring out the mud; Juxian Building and Louguan Mountain will all be destroyed under our control! ”

When Xue Jin'er and Wei Yan were muttering here, Wei Sheng, Wei Qi, and Diao San were also talking enthusiastically there.

Wei seems to have slipped to Xue Jin'er to ask for a new will when Wei Sheng and Diao San were brothers; Xue Jin'er said solemnly: "Go straight to Qijue Temple according to the original plan......"

The Zhuang Ke led by Xue Jin'er and Wei Yan disguised themselves as a funeral team and made a short renovation in front of the Juxianlou Inn and came to Qijue Temple.

Xue Jin'er, Wei Yan, and Guangyuan's old wife Chen Ting are still dressed as a family of three who sing and sit in the carriage.

From afar, Xue Jin'er saw the majestic appearance of Qijue Temple: the main hall was majestic, the monk tower was bright, and the bell tower and drum tower were distributed on both sides.

Xue Jin'er got out of the car first, but saw dozens of monks wearing orange monk's robes standing in line at the door of the main hall; Led by an abbot in a robe, they greeted Xue Jin'er and them.

Xue Jin'er saw the monks lined up to greet us, and said to Wei Yan and Chen Ting on the side: "Senior, Mama, the monk of Qijue Temple is leading the following team to welcome us, don't you think it's strange?" ”

Wei Yan and Chen Ting looked at each other, not knowing what Xue Jin'er meant.

Xue Jin'er saw that the two of them were ignorant, and said excitedly: "The abbot who greeted us may be Hongyuan, but where do you see where he is a person from the Western Regions who has escaped from the Tang Dynasty!" And the abbot must have made such a move after receiving the message from Diao San? ”

Xue Jin'er's words contain several unknowns: the first is that the abbot is not from the Western Regions, so where is the demon monk from the Western Regions that Wei Feng talked about? The answer is unknowable, and there are hidden secrets in it.

The second is that the monks and abbots of Qijue Temple may have received the news from Diao San's side, so it is said that Diao San's people rushed to Qijue Temple before Xue Jin'er and them.

There are only two possibilities for Diao San's people to report to the abbot of Qijue Temple before Xue Jin'er and them: one is to take a shortcut, but there seems to be no shortcut on land. The second possibility is that there is a secret passage underground leading directly from Juxian Tower to Qijue Temple.

There is a chance that there is a secret passage underground, if this is the case, it is in line with Xue Jin'er's previous inference - Tang Xiaoye, the son of Guangyuan's old woman Chen Ting, and the scholar are still alive, after the two were made dumb; A passage was built underground for Diao San's gang of bandits, and the bones of the people found in the flat ditch were likely the remains of the forced old workers......

Xue Jin'er analyzed it like this, Wei Yan and Chen Ting were dumbfounded; Wei Yan looked at the abbot and monk who were standing in front of the big Buddha hall in a queue to greet them, and asked Xue Jin'er with a smile: "Miss Jin'er, your analysis has a certain reason, so what should we do; Let's fight ...... that's it."
