Chapter 346: Hidden Things
Jiang Wenhao carefully recalled the discussion at that time, and suddenly recalled that Su Cheng said a kind of shrug at that time. Heart Society. It seems that there is something to be said yet. And because of this, he diverted the topic. And Ye Li, another person present, was also stumbling when he talked about this matter. Is there really some mystery in this?
Du Wenhao really wanted to interrogate these people again, but Ye Zhao and Su Cheng were both rescued, and Lin Qingdai had been gone for a few hours, and he didn't know if Lin Qingdai had rescued and released them, and there was nowhere to find them.
No matter what the baby is. In short, it is not a good thing to have something to do with the White Coat Society, Du Wenhao put the sheepskin on the mat, thinking about how to deal with this big trouble.
Suddenly, under the lights. After he had been trampled on the parchment a few times by himself, the silk threads were stretched, and a narrow slit cracked at the edges, revealing the white stuff inside!
On the border between the Song Dynasty and Tibet.
A large car was parked on the side of the official road, it was not yet dawn, and it was pitch black all around.
Ye Zhao was the first to wake up. He struggled to his feet, looking around blankly. Through the faint light, I could vaguely see that there were several people lying beside me, who were also starting to squirm, and it seemed that they were about to wake up.
At this time, a voice came, it was a woman: "Are you awake?" Don't move yet, lie down for a while, and wait until you're fully awake. ”
Ye Zhao moved. Now the chain on his hand is gone, and he can't help but be surprised, and then the shackles around his neck are gone. I couldn't help but be overjoyed and screamed happily.
At this time, Su Cheng and the others also woke up. They were all surprised to see that the chains and shackles on their bodies were gone, and they whispered in surprise, only then did they know that someone had saved them.
Ye Zhao quickly regained consciousness. Thinking back to the previous incident, I remember that they were escorted to a town inn to stop and prepare for accommodation, and the escort quickly brought water for them to drink, and after drinking the water for a while, they fell asleep in a daze. When I woke up, I was already here.
He reached out and touched everywhere. Now it was a carport, and he whispered to the outside: "Girl! Girl! Did you save us? ”
A woman's voice came from outside the carport: "Don't ask, you can poison it."
Everyone on the bed listened, and they all slowly got out of the car, looked around, and saw that the sky was not yet dawn, and it was dark, but they could faintly see the silhouettes of people next to them and the mountains in the distance. A man in black stood a few steps away, standing with his hands in his hands.
Ye Zhao arched his hand and said: "Thank you for saving your benefactor, don't dare to ask your benefactor's name." We are engraved in our hearts. ”
The woman did not answer this question, and pointed to the dark mountains in the distance: "Crossing this mountain, it is the boundary of Tibet." The cart had a bag of silver and two bags of clothes, and some blades for your defense. Wait a minute, you'll change your clothes. Let's go. The officers and men will soon launch a search and arrest if they feel that you have escaped. Leave! ”
With that, the woman turned to leave. A white-clothed club leader said urgently: "Benefactor, please stay!" The benefactor is the shopkeeper of Wuwei Tanglin? ”
The woman's body shook and slowly turned around: "What did you say?" ”
Na Ling took a few steps forward: "If it's really Shopkeeper Lin, I can hear your voice." The little one's name is Xu Fan. At that time, Master Jingci of the Disdainful Society had treated a terminal illness in your shop, and it was treated by Master Du, the imperial doctor of Du, who was a doctor in your shop at that time. The younger one lived in your store for a while with his teacher. Later, Dong Da County was sick and tired. The little one once led the members of the White Clothes Society to help. So recognize your voice. ”
That woman was Lin Qingdai.
Lin Qingdai didn't want to reveal her identity, so as not to cause trouble to Du Wenhao, but she was unexpectedly heard.
Ye Zhao immediately understood, surprised and delighted, and hugged his fists and said, "It turns out that it was the Imperial Doctor who saved our lives!" ”
Another. Ling Ye said happily: "Yes, I just said it, the Imperial Doctor once saved the life of our Master Jingci, and he is the benefactor of my White Clothes Society. Well, right! Hey hey"
Another person said urgently: "Speak softly!" We can't get the Doon in trouble! ”
"Yes, yes". The rest of the people also nodded their heads and said in a low voice.
Shen cried with joy. Holding the child's hand, Gu Dong knelt down and kowtowed, and sobbed: "Madam, please tell the imperial doctor Engong that the concubine has nothing to reciprocate, and only waits for the next life to form a grass ring to repay the greatness."
After that, he pulled his son Dong Dong and kowtowed again and again.
Lin Qingdai didn't say a word. stepped forward and helped her up. At this moment, her heart was in turmoil, and this sudden change made her not know what to do for a while.
She followed all the way to the town, secretly threw hemp into drinking water and food with sackcloth, numbly knocked down Wu Zhizhou and all the escort officers and soldiers, including all the prisoners, and then unchained the nine white-clothed collars to be rescued, loaded Su Cheng's big carriage, and robbed a bag of silver taels, and took some old clothes in the inn. Drove the carriage to the border overnight.
She now regrets that she should have left just now, but she was afraid that they would walk around without knowing the direction and fall into the hands of the pursuers, so she took the risk of pointing them out, but she didn't expect to be heard.
She didn't know what to do.
Ye Zhao is old and sophisticated. Guessing Lin Qingdai's thoughts, she clenched her fists and bowed down and said, "Mrs. Du, please rest assured that you and the Imperial Doctor are at ease." The grace of saving my life will never be forgotten, but I will never say a word to outsiders, including others in the society. If there is a violation, heaven and earth will not be able to die! ”
The rest of the people immediately understood. Follow the poisonous oath of the world and never divulge this matter.
Su Cheng stood with the support of others, and bowed to him: "Mrs. Du, Su's life is saved by the imperial doctor, and he will never forget it." My nine-person scarf Guangkou person leaked the matter of Engong's rescue, and Su Mou must thank himself for his benefactor! ”
Shen also sobbed: "Please rest assured, Madame, these are the real men of my Baiyi Society, they are not afraid of death, and they will never leak half a word of kindness." If one of them leaks out, the concubine will immediately take the child and hang herself to apologize. ”
Everyone also knows that this matter is very important, Du Wenhao is willing to save his life, especially the leader of the White Clothes Society, Mrs. Jing Ci, who has saved the leader of the White Clothes Society, is the great benefactor of the entire White Clothes Society, these people are the sworn friends of the White Clothes Society, and in addition to gratitude, they also swore a heavy oath that if one of them leaked this matter, the rest of them would apologize together.
This oath actually binds these nine people together.
So far. Lin Qingdai had no choice, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Okay, I believe you." In fact, you are all the hard bones of the White Clothes Society. I didn't confess under torture, and my family admired you, so I came to the rescue. What people like you say, I believe. All right, you go, for in another hour it will be dawn. ”
Su Cheng said: "Madam, please tell Duke Du that Su deceived him and asked him to get the parchment scroll that was recorded." It's not an ancient medical book, but "it's a sacred relic of the Shrine."
Everyone let out an exclamation, and Shen asked, "Young Master Su." You gave the scroll to Duke Doon? ”
"Yes, when I came down from Mount Emei, I was kicked by Brother Ye unintentionally, and the injury was very serious, and the world was spinning. Fear of passing out at any time. As a result, the scroll was lost, so when I passed by Baoguo Temple Tallinn, I hid it in Tallinn. Later, after I was arrested, and it happened that the Doon people were patrolling the prison, I lied about an ancient medical prescription that was an heirloom of my Su family, and told the Doon people where the holy scroll was hidden. The benefactor saved the life of Master Jingci, and the holy scroll will be safe in his hands. ”
The crowd is on the head. Ye Zhao was also pleased: "Yes, it can really be said that there is a providence in the underworld, and the holy scroll has a good destination, which means that the heavens will not destroy our White Clothes Society." Our White Coat Club will finally have a comeback one day! ”
Everyone was in a state of agitation, and even claimed to be.
Lin Qingdai naturally didn't know about this, and when she heard what they said solemnly, she asked with some curiosity: "What is the holy scroll you gave me Xianggong?" ”
Xu Fan said: "This holy scroll was written by Master Huiyuan, the ancestor of my White Coat Society, with holy water. It is the supreme peace of the White Coat Society. ”
It's about Du Wenhao. Lin Qingdai had to ask clearly: "Who is Master Huiyuan?" ”
Su Cheng took over and said, "Master Huiyuan is the first ancestor of my Pure Land Sect. It is a high monk of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he led the same 123 people to chant Buddha in Lushan, worship Amitabha Buddha, as long as the Buddha is dedicated to the Buddha, whether he is a monk or not, as long as he recites the name of Amitabha Buddha. After death, you can be reborn in the Pure Land. When the first ancestors formed an association, they dug the pond Donglin Temple and planted it with white lotus. The first ancestor also wrote the "Sutra of Amitayus" on a sheepskin scroll, which has been passed down to this day. This is the holy scroll
Only then did Lin Qingdai understand that it was handwritten by the ancestor of the White Coat Society. No wonder it is known as the holy relic of the White Clothes Society.
Su Cheng said in a hurry. A little tired, he took a few breaths, and then continued: "The holy scroll has been passed down to the present, and it is in the hands of Master Jingci. Before the fall of the White Coat Society, the court sect revealed the news, and Master Jingci knew that he would not be spared, so he thought twice and handed over the holy scroll to Brother Fu Changyou for safekeeping. But Brother Fu had already decided to follow Master Jingci, so he taught the holy scroll to his wife Shen, and asked them to take the holy scroll to find Brother Huaitang in Tangzhong. learned that Brother Yu had taken people to Jiazhou to prepare to flee to Tubo for refuge. Shen took his father and children all the way to Jiazhou to find me. I and the regiment trained Master Ye to escort them to Mount Emei to find Brother Tang hidden on the mountain."
Lin Qingdai couldn't help it, and sneered: "You don't know yet, right? You were arrested, and you all confessed in this soup! There are three other ones, and my father-in-law didn't let me save the four of them because of that! ”
Yes? Everyone was stunned.
Ye Zhao said hatefully: "No wonder! At the top of Mount Emei, he refused to accept the holy scroll and took the responsibility of custodial. It must be that he is afraid that once he is caught, he will press out of the holy scroll. It will be punished as a leader! ”
Shen's son said in a milky voice: "Uncle Su wants to keep the holy scroll, and you still kick him!" ”
Su Cheng said: "Lin'er, your Uncle Ye is to let him take this risk himself, I won't let him, he is in a hurry, and he wants to kick off the holy scroll in my hand and grab it, the hillside is too slippery." That's when he kicked me in the stomach, and he did it for my good.
Ye Zhao was ashamed: "I didn't expect that kick to be so heavy, otherwise, I would never have let everyone go down the mountain separately." ”
Lin Qingdai didn't have time to listen to what they said, so she interjected: "In that case, I took this holy scroll from Xianggong. Give it back to you. The holy relics in your religion are not suitable for my father-in-law
Su Cheng said: "It's okay, but" I'm about to flee to Tibet, can you please ask Duke Du Engong to keep it for some more time, and I'll send someone after I find a place to live."
Lin Qingdai was very reluctant to leave this big trouble by her side, but what the other party said made sense, so she was indecided.
Ye Zhao said: "Let's flee to Tubo, I'm afraid we won't be able to come back in a short time, and the Imperial Doctor can't stop at one place and wait for us." It's better to find someone to retrieve it later. It's just that this is going to add trouble to Engong, and it may even be dangerous, so I really don't want to go."
Lin Qingdai said: "Otherwise, I will let Xianggong hide your holy scroll in the original place of Tallinn in Baoguo Temple." When the time comes, you're going to pick it up yourself? "Good place, attentive people will show up. At that time, I was seriously injured, and I really had no choice but to hide there, and the reason why I lied and handed over the holy scroll to Du Engong was also out of this worry. The holy scroll is a treasure, and there must be no mistakes! ”
Ye Zhao said: "Otherwise, you cross the border first, and I will go back with Mrs. Du, take the holy scroll, and then chase you."
Lin Qingdai shook her head and smiled bitterly: "This is not good, this is dozens of miles away from Mount Emei, and they should have woken up in Wuzhi County, but I am afraid that at this time, they have already begun to set up cards to collect you everywhere." Let's take this scroll with us first. You can always ask someone to pick it up. After that, he stretched out his hand and plucked a bodha on the bun and handed it to Shen: "Someone came to hold this with the answer." ”
Shen Shi bowed down and took it: "Thank you, madam, thank you Engong." We will find someone as soon as possible
"Alright. Let's go, I'll have to get back as soon as possible!" Leave! ”
With that, Lin Qingdai turned around and left, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
Ye Zhao and the others came back from the Ghost Gate, and they all felt very happy, they were almost all injured, so they quickly changed their clothes, supported each other over the mountain beam, and sneaked into Tubo.
When Lin Qingdai returned to Xiangguo Temple, it was just dawn.
Du Wenhao was afraid that she wouldn't be able to come back in time, so he deliberately slept lazy. It wasn't until I heard Lin Qingdai deliberately speaking loudly in the Zen courtyard that I got up.
Du Wenhao called Lin Qingdai into the house, closed the door, asked what happened, and learned that this sheepskin scroll turned out to be a treasure handed down from the first ancestor of the White Clothes Society, and it was a holy relic in their sect. I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He took out the parchment roll from his arms and handed it to Lin Qingdai: "This thing is so thin, there is actually a mezzanine in the middle!" There's something in it, it seems to be a blank piece of paper, I'm afraid of tearing it up, I didn't dare to take it out, I heard you say that this thing is their holy relic, and it can't expand the crack anymore, do you see if there is any way to take it out? ”
Lin Qingdai took it. He walked to the side of the bed, looked at it sideways, and after a moment said, "It's not paper, it looks like silk." Be careful when you pull it out, and it won't rip. ”
"Oh, then take it out and see what it is."
Lin Qingdai hesitated and replied: "This is their holy relic, it's inappropriate for us to do this, right?" ”
Du Wenhao snorted: "What's wrong!" They tricked me and took such a big risk for them. Satisfy your curiosity! It's a big deal to stuff it back when you're done with it! Even if it's a treasure map or a treasure, I'm not uncommon, just to satisfy my curiosity.
Lin Qingdai nodded. I found a bodder, carefully pulled out the thing a little, touched it, and sure enough, it was silk. This thing is resilient. It's generally not easy to rot, so I grabbed it, and gently tried to pull it out a little bit, and it took a stick of incense to pull out the whole silk.
Lin Qingdai handed this silk to Du Wenhao, and Du Wenhao took a closer look, but it was a painting, a landscape painting!
The color of this painting is very old, and you can see that the time has been a long time ago, and the brushwork is simple, with mountains and waters, trees and stones. But there are no inscriptions, and no seals. I don't know who drew it.
Du Wenhao was very disappointed: "I thought it was a treasure map or something, it was so hidden, but it turned out to be a Zhang Po painting, damn!" ”
Lin Qingdai: "Yes, it's so hidden, it should be a baby." ”
"What a baby. Their white-clothed society likes to play tricks, and it must be the graffiti ink treasure of the first ancestor of their white-clothed society, which is the same as the scriptures on the parchment, what kind of holy relic. It's a treasure to them, it's worthless to us! Stuff him back! ”
"Okay." Lin Qingdai took a closer look at the holy scroll, frowned, and said: "Wen Hao, it's no problem to stuff it back, but it's a little more troublesome to smooth it out, especially since the cracks in this holy scroll are sewn with gold threads, we have to find the same gold thread to re-stitch this eye, so that they can't see that they have opened it." Otherwise, they might have something to think. ”
"What are you afraid of. If you have it, you're good to go! Du Wenhao said angrily. But it's right to think about it, people entrust the holy relics to their own safekeeping, and it is best to return the original things, so he said to Lin Qingdai: "Okay, this thing will be handed over to you for safekeeping, work hard, first stuff the silk back to smooth it, and then find the gold thread to sew it." This parchment roll is a relic of the old monk Huiyuan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so this golden silk thread should also be from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the silk thread from hundreds of years ago is probably not easy to find. ”
Lin Qingdai said: "There must be one in the palace!" ”
"Well, let's hope they don't come to us to ask for this thing until we get back to the palace."
"It's hard to say. Let's visit some silk shops on the way. You might be able to buy gold thread from that time. ”
"Makes sense. Then you should pay attention along the way. Okay, after eating, let's go up to Mount Emei. He***. said that Emei has been talking about it for so many days, even if the sky falls today, Lao Tzu will go to the mountain! But. Before going out, you have to pay attention to what Wu Zhizhou is going to do, this ass must be wiped clean. ”
Du Wenhao went out of the room, called Li Pu, and told him to send someone to find out the news. Subsequently, after the delivery of the meal, I found some nearby farmers to discuss the matter of spending money to ask them to carry the sliding pole to Mount Emei, and these farmers were very happy, and dozens of them came at once.
Du Wenhao selected more than a dozen strong ones, made a sliding rod, and drank the women to sit on the sliding rod, and the farmers carried it. Wander up the hill.
