Chapter 265: Meet Fahua Temple
It is said that when Gu Haotian and the others were inquiring about the news with Xiao Er in the tavern, they suddenly saw Zhuang Ding on the street outside with a few men over, and after a closer look, the first one turned out to be Duan Jingzhu, the brother in the manor, how could this person appear here, and everyone couldn't help but be surprised. But he didn't dare to make a mistake for a while, so he had to watch him escorted into the barracks.
"Shopkeeper, how can the people in this village be sent to the barracks if they commit crimes, and what kind of prison can't be there?"
Gu Haotian expected that this junior second child had some understanding of the affairs in the camp, so he asked deliberately.
"The guest officer is right, there is really a cell in the southwest corner of this barracks, and usually someone in the village will send it here, but this person is very faceless, and he should not be from the village."
"Oh, that's a lot of trouble and a lot of manpower for the guards."
Gu Haotian answered, and didn't ask anything anymore. At that moment, a few people hastily ate some wine and food, and then left the table. Thinking that Shi Wengong was in the courtyard of Zeng's house, he deliberately passed in front of Zeng's house, only to see the high wall and deep courtyard, as if it was another city within a city. It was also inconvenient to stop and watch, a few people looked at it for a while and then turned around and came out, and suddenly saw some noise inside, and after a while, I saw a person who looked like a housekeeper, sending two monks out.
The two monks said goodbye to the housekeeper and swaggered past Gu Haotian and the others, only to hear one of them say:
"Senior brother, if we do a good job of the water and land puja this time, and don't talk about the rewards from the outside, then the fame of Fahua Temple will be great, and I won't be afraid that there will be no offerings in the future."
"Senior brother said yes, the water and land puja is the most solemn ceremony and the most special merit in our Buddhism, we go back to prepare carefully, but don't let the staff down."
The two monks passed by by as they talked to themselves, and Gu Haotian didn't care much, but when he was about to listen to the three words of Fahua Temple, a plot suddenly popped up in his mind. He remembered that in "Water Margin", Chao Gai listened to the deception of the two monks of Fahua Temple, so he sent troops to steal the camp, but he was hit by a poisoned arrow and died. Could it be these two monks! He thought to himself, so he asked Shi Qian to stay in the village, and he took the other four people to follow him from afar.
Five people followed all the way out of the east gate, and walked more than five miles, then saw an ancient temple, the inscription Fahua Temple three gilt characters, the two monks took care of themselves from the mountain gate into it. Gu Haotian and others also followed, but they saw three halls on the central axis, and several monks' houses were built on the left and right, but it was a temple of considerable scale. But when they followed the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the two monks had already entered the back hall, and it was inconvenient for everyone to follow up, so they had to stop and burn incense in the hall to worship the Buddha. After the incident, Gu Haotian asked a little novice in the temple that he wanted to do a Buddhist thing in the temple, but he didn't know who could be the master.
When the little novice saw this, he asked him to stay longer, and he went to the back hall to report it. After a while, Xiao Shami led a big monk out, who was the junior brother on the road just now.
"But this Shi is the main practitioner?"
After the monk entered the main hall, he saw Gu Haotian standing in front of him, so he asked him.
"It's just that I've asked for a lot in this Fa matter, and I need to explain it, I don't know if the master can borrow a treasure to speak."
"If so, let me come."
The monk saw that Gu Haotian was dressed as a rich and noble family, and thought that it was not only a great Dharma matter, but also a large income, so he led a few people into a meditation room in the backyard. Several people sat down, and another little novice served tea. At this time, Gu Hao genius spoke:
"Under Chen Hao, the people of the capital, the Buddhist thing just said is a pretext, and the original intention is ......"
Who knew that before he finished speaking, the monk saw that he was scolding him, so he pulled down his face and got up to drive people away. At this time, I saw Gu Haotian take out a silver ticket from his arms and put it on top of several cases, the monk saw that it was a large amount of three hundred taels, and his eyes immediately straightened, and he quickly closed his legs and sat back, saying busily.
"Donor! Donor! ”
"Then I'm going to disturb the master!" Gu Haotian glanced at him lightly, and continued, "When I was in the capital, I learned art from a master, and after the master's health gradually deteriorated, I was very worried about a disciple in my early years. Later, when someone asked, the master of Fahua Temple had great powers, so he came to beg for help. ”
When the monk heard this, it was a simple matter, and he thought that the three hundred taels of silver were really easy to earn, so he immediately replied:
"Who is this senior brother Lang Jun, as long as you are in Zengtou City, the Sprinkle family will always have a way for you to meet."
"My senior brother's name is Shi Wengong, I heard that he is a teacher in the village, and he also went to Zeng's house to inquire a few times, but no one paid attention to it."
"It turned out to be a teacher of history, but Lang Jun is looking for the right person, he is now a guest of the Zeng family, and he can't see anyone at all, but he is very close to my senior brother, and tomorrow morning, the Sprinkle family will personally go to Zeng's house to invite him out, but there is only one thing, you two can have a token, so that we can get trust with him."
"The master will see you tomorrow, and he just said that the master of Beijing came to him with a bronze tiger head pendant, and he naturally knew it in his heart."
"That being the case, a few of you will come to the temple tomorrow morning and wait, and there will be an echo when the time comes."
The monk responded, while putting away the silver ticket beautifully, and at the same time sent a few people out of the mountain gate diligently, reporting that he was called Yuantong, and ordered him to report his name when he came tomorrow.
There was nothing to say all the way, and when he returned to the inn, it was almost dusk, Gu Haotian called Lin Chong into the room, and asked:
"Senior brother, how can I talk to Senior Brother Shi tomorrow?"
"In my opinion, although Senior Brother Shi is stubborn, he should respect the master, and his heart is in that matter, just start from here, talk about it slowly, and he should listen to it."
"In this case, tomorrow, the junior brother will meet him first, and then ask the senior brother to come forward."
Gu Haotian was worried that Shi Wengong would hate Lin Chong back then, and it would be embarrassing to meet suddenly. Lin Chong was also in favor, and the two discussed some details at the moment, just waiting for tomorrow to meet.
Early the next morning, because he had to rush to Fahua Temple, Gu Haotian and Gongsun Sheng, Wu Yong and others had been anxiously waiting for the time to move back, until the beginning of the Mao Shi, only to see him hurried back to the inn, last night he stayed in Zengtou City to find an opportunity to ask Duan Jing to live, to find out the reason for being arrested, at this time as soon as he entered the room he hurriedly said:
"Last night when I sneaked into the barracks, I didn't think that there was defenseless, the first Duan Jingzhu brothers in the prison were locked in the innermost room, just convenient for me to speak, according to him, after the sale of horses in Liaodi, at the request of the drinking Ma Chuan, more than 100 horses were sent to Teng Ji for their use, and then they returned to the manor by land, but when they passed by the Yongjing Army, they saw that they had just received dozens of war horses from the imperial court, and they were happy to hunt for a while, and a few of them started to steal more than ten horses, who knew that the theft of horses was smooth, but when they arrived near Zengtou City, But he was plotted by a robber named Yu Baosi, and he was arrested with people and horses, and then he was sent to this Zengtou City in a daze. ”
It turned out to be Yu Baosi's sin again, Gu Haotian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, in the original trajectory, it was also Sui Baosi who stole Duan Jingzhu's "Jade Lion in the Night", and then caused a big battle between Liangshan and Zengtou City.
"This Yu Baosi is in Zengtou City now?" At this time, Wu Yong suddenly asked.
"I don't know about this, but it shouldn't be difficult to find out about the village."
"Little official, I think, if Shi Wengong can't talk about it, this Yu Baosi may have use value, judging from his style, the relationship between this person and Zengtou City is extraordinary, and his manpower will not be too manpower, if he can manage to control this group of people, when the time comes to attack Zengtou City, he may be used as a surprise soldier."
Wu Yong's statement reminded Gu Haotian that in the original time and space, when Song Jiang hit Zengtou City, Wu Yong used Yu Baosi to lure the enemy successfully, but he didn't expect to use him to propose a plan at this time. However, this method was not borrowed, and Gongsun Sheng immediately led people to find out his lair, and then saw the opportunity to act.
After some arrangement, Gu Haotian did not dare to delay, and immediately rushed to Fahua Temple with Bian Xiang, Shi Qian and others. At the time of the pillar incense, the little novice came in again, saying that the master was invited, and Gu Haotian knew that it must be Shi Wengong who had arrived, so he ordered Bian Xiang and Shi Qian to wait in the meditation room first, and then follow him.
Still in the meditation room yesterday, when Gu Haotian entered, he felt two sharp eyes stabbed like knives, he knew in his heart that it must be the third senior brother, and immediately looked up, only to see a man about thirty years old sitting next to the round one, although silent but not angry and arrogant, it gave people strong pressure head-on.
"This Lang Jun, Teacher Shi has been invited, and the two will be interviewed below, don't let me go for the time being."
Yuantong saw that people from both sides had arrived, and knew that it was inconvenient for him to be inside, so he got up and went out.
At this time, Gu Haotian calmly came to Shi Wengong and saluted, and said, "In Gu Haotian in Yuncheng, Jingdong, I have seen my senior brother. ”
And said that Shi Wengong was very surprised when he got the letter from the Yuantong monk in the morning, he thought it was Lu Junyi or Lin Chong, but Yuanneng said that he was a young man who had not yet reached the crown, and he was even more suspicious, as far as he knew, the master only gave them three bronze pendants, could it be that he later accepted the little junior brother, it was because of too many doubts that he followed over to see what was going on. However, as soon as he saw the young man who came in from outside the door, he immediately had a strong feeling that this kid really had the sharpness of a teacher, and suddenly he seemed to see the shadow of his youth. When he reported himself to Yuncheng Gu Haotian, he was shocked in his heart, and suddenly thought of an amazing name, this kid was that person, and he was a little suspicious that he had ulterior motives. So Shi Wengong asked in a deep voice:
"It's not complicated to be in the lower division, when did you become a member of my division, what is the evidence?"
Gu Haotian smiled slightly when he saw this, and slowly took out the bronze tiger head pendant from his chest and handed it over. Shi Wengong took it and looked at it carefully, and there was no mistake, and he already had some faith in his heart, so he asked:
"When did you learn from your master? Where is the master now? ”
"The master and his old man came to Yuncheng Gujiazhuang in the early autumn of the tenth year of Chengping, and did not leave until the early summer of the eleventh year of Chengping, and now he does not know where he is going, but when the master left, he said that he was going to find the three senior brothers, and when he visited the second senior brother and the senior brother in the capital and the Daimyo Mansion last year, he heard that the master had been there, but I don't know if the master had been to you."
Hearing this, Shi Wengong no longer had any doubts about the identity of this little junior brother, and he also understood that this junior brother was the famous jade-faced Meng Wei on the rivers and lakes, but at this time, he couldn't care about this, but asked nervously:
"When the master left, he really said he was coming to me?"
"How can it be wrong, when I saw him off, I said it myself, and I also told me one thing, saying that when I met the third senior brother in the coming day, let me tell you that he no longer blames you for the mistakes of the past."
"Don't blame me for that!"
After Shi Wengong listened to Gu Haotian's words, he said something to himself, and sat there stunned for a moment, but his thoughts drifted there.
