Chapter 4: Since ancient times, Qilu has been a warrior

Section 10: Undercurrents (II)

After the team of men and horses sent by Xu Hongru was allowed to enter the mouth of the stone Buddha, all the weapons and horses were taken away by the surrounding armor soldiers, and then everyone entered the stone Buddha mouth under the supervision of the dozens of armor soldiers.

At this time, the stone Buddha mouth is no longer the appearance of Wang Sen when it was first built, after Wang Sen, Wang Haoxian father and son painstaking management, the stone Buddha mouth at this time has been built into a city, from a distance to look very magnificent.

Xu Hongru's envoy kept looking around along the way, only to see that the circumference of the main city of Shifokou was only about four miles, but the scale of the house was particularly particular: first, Wang Sen and his son set up the front pavilion (Zhang Tingzi), the back shop (Hou Dianzi), the east valley (Lei Gu Zhuang, later renamed Lei Zhuang), and the west building (Xu Jia Lou) around the main city of Shifokou, in order to be responsible for receiving the congregants who came to pay tribute from all over the world. The main city of Shifokou is built with rigorous structure and full of style, with firm walls and majestic gates; There are two large archways built at both ends of the east and west streets in the city, which are respectively engraved with "the master of the green mountain" and "the reincarnation of Maitreya".

There are huge temple groups built outside the main city of Shifokou: at the foot of the northeast mountain of the city is the "main temple of the gods" (later generations are accustomed to call it "hail temple"), and the temple enshrines the two-meter-high red granite stone carving Maitreya Buddha statue; Xiguan is the Lao Ye Temple, Niangniang Temple, Land Temple, Sanguan Temple, Nanguan is Bodhi Temple (the main hall in the temple is dedicated to the Buddha with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, and behind him is the Buddha of Wei Tuo who holds the vajra), the Eight Immortals Temple, the City God Temple. More magnificent, is the royal mausoleum of the general mausoleum, the whole mausoleum covers an area of 100 acres, erected 24 turtles and dragons carved steles. Although the whole stone Buddha mouth occupies a very large area, it is extremely luxurious and imposing, and it is even called the teaching capital of the Smelling Fragrance Sect by the surrounding people! The wealth and extravagance of Wang Sen's father and son can be seen from the construction of the stone Buddha's mouth.

The envoy and his entourage walked for a while under the escort of the armor warrior before they came to the royal compound located in the main city of Shifokou.

Then the leader of the armor pointed to the messenger and said, "Go in alone, while the others wait here." ”

The messenger did not dare to say anything, so he followed the two soldiers into the courtyard. After the envoy entered the courtyard, he saw that the entire royal compound was very magnificent--the inner courtyard had a living room, a study, an embroidery building, and a garden, and the side courtyard had a guard hall, a martial arts field, a dining room, and a fish pond...... After walking for about a cup of tea, the messenger was taken to a pavilion, where he saw a man in his thirties writing and painting, this person was Wang Haoxian, the son of Wang Sen.

A soldier stepped forward to pay a respect, Wang Haoxian heard the words, put down the pen in his hand, glanced at the messenger, and then said something, and sat down to drink tea.

The armor soldier beckoned to the messenger, and then stood beside Wang Haoxian.

Seeing this, the messenger hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and bowed to Wang Haoxian, and said, "The villain greets the sect leader, and wishes the sect leader happiness such as the East China Sea, longevity and Tianqi." ”

Wang Haoxian was still drinking tea expressionlessly, and said after a while: "Were you calling me just now?" I'm not Xu Hongru, why do you call me the sect leader, are you wrong? ”

The sect leader laughed, the Wang family will always be the head of the sect, how dare the villain call it wrong. The villain is a messenger sent by Xu Hongru's helmsman, and I have here a letter written by Xu Helm to the sect leader, please ask the master to take a look. With that, the messenger took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over with both hands.

Wang Haoxian did not take the letter, but laughed loudly, as if he had heard some big joke, and after a long time gradually stopped laughing, and said to the messenger: "Didn't he, Xu Hongru, always say that I can't understand the teachings and can't lead the sect to become a Buddha? Didn't Xu Hongru say that I don't deserve to be called the sect leader at all? Didn't he already proclaim himself the head of the sect in Shandong? How did you become the helmsman now, and you still call me the master? It's ridiculous! ”

Seeing that Wang Haoxian was angry, the envoy hurriedly said: "The sect leader is angry, Xu Duo already knows that what he did before is wrong, so he sent the villain here, just to return everything in Shandong to the sect master, so as to atone for himself; Lord Xu Helm willingly became the sect leader's subordinate and became the sect leader's pawn. ”

After listening to the envoy's words, Wang Haoxian was a little stunned, and then he felt a cold air rushing to the top of his head, and said secretly in his heart: "Why did this Xu Hongru suddenly become like this, is he eyeing the stone Buddha's mouth?" What trick do you want to use to annex my cultists? No, Xu Hongru is far away in Shandong, even if he has the intention, he can't do it, so what's going on? Could it be that Xu Hongru encountered a life-and-death catastrophe and came to me for help? ”

Thinking of this, Wang Haoxian took the letter in the messenger's hand, opened it with some urgency and read it:

"The sect leader is above, and the sinner Xu Hongru weeps blood and confesses: Today, there is an official army Hanwei battalion escorting the imperial court tax and silver through Shandong, and its head will find out that there are many assets of our Shandong sect, and they actually collude with the Gao family in Jinan to spy on the wealth of our Shandong sect, and try to uproot the foundation of the sect in Shandong. Now the rangers under the Gao family are hunting down the elite of the sect everywhere, and the Hanwei battalion is directly rushing towards Yuncheng. In the face of such a crisis, my brother Xu Heyu took people to Jinan to theorize with the Gao family, but he was killed by the Gao family on the spot!

The sinner Xu Hongru had the courage to ask the sect leader to lead the elite of the sect to Shandong, and join the elite of the Shandong branch to hide in the area of Anmin Mountain and Mata Lake, waiting for the opportunity to intercept the Hanwei camp in order to save the Shandong sect members from the dire situation. Don't dare to bother the sect leader to experience the battle array in person, the sinner will personally lead all the elites of the Shandong branch sect to face the officers and soldiers head-on to attract their attention, and the sect leader only needs to cut off his back path. After that, I hope that the sect leader can move and go to Jinan with the sinners to exterminate the Gao family to avenge my blood revenge!

If the sect leader comes to help regardless of his previous suspicions, Hongru is grateful to Dade, and the tax and silver and the Gao family's wealth obtained from the Hanwei camp escort, Hongru only keeps one percent, and the rest is all dedicated to the sect leader; And if the sect leader does not give up, from now on Hongru will be the most loyal subordinate of the sect leader, and he will be driven by the sect leader!

The sinner Xu Hongru wept blood and hoped that the sect master would come to save him, and he hoped that the sect master would have mercy! Save it! ”

After reading the letter, Wang Haoxian sneered, raised the letter in his hand, and said, "Is he Xu Hongru a three-year-old child?" With just such a letter, you want to trick me into going south to Shandong, do you want to take the opportunity to get rid of me so that you can unify the sect? ”

The envoy was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The sect leader has misunderstood, Xu Duo definitely doesn't mean this. It was really because the Hanwei Camp and the Gao family had already forced the sect members in Shandong to a dead end, and Lord Xu Duo really had no choice. If the main sect does not come to the rescue, I am afraid that it will not be long before the sect will disappear in Shandong! That's all the work of the old sect master! ”

Wang Haoxian was also a little hesitant when he heard this, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he thought for a while and asked, "Is Xu Hongru's younger brother Xu Heyu really dead?" ”

"Sect Leader Qiqi, this is a true thing, then the Gao family, together with Xu Heyu, has killed a total of more than twenty brothers in our sect!"

Is it true that what is said in this letter? Is Xu Hongru really here to ask for help? Wang Haoxian's heart began to waver a little, thinking: "If Xu Heyu is really dead, what he said in this letter may be true." After all, sacrificing my own brother in order to kill me is inevitably too expensive, but why is my heart so uneasy? ”

Thinking of this, Wang Haoxian asked again: "Even if I go to save that Xu Hongru, it's okay to destroy the Gao family, but if I kill a battalion of officers and soldiers, is this movement too big?" How does Xu Hongru plan to deal with the aftermath? ”

The envoy replied: "Sect Leader Qiqi, Lord Xu Duo has already dredged up the relationship with Yanzhou Mansion, and when the time comes, Lord Xu Duo will also invite a group of copycats to come to the top of the tank, so the Sect Master doesn't have to worry." ”

After listening to the envoy's words, Wang Haoxian thought for a while, then said no more, waved his hand to signal the envoy to take the messenger away, and continued to paint. Seeing this, the soldier next to him took the messenger down, and before leaving, the messenger kept shouting loudly: "Sect Leader Kai Grace, Sect Leader Kai Grace, save Xu Duo Master, the brothers in Shandong are about to be killed by the official army and the Gao family!" ”

As the messenger's shouts became farther and farther away, and by the end they could no longer be heard at all, but Wang Haoxian's mood became more and more irritable. Seeing that his painting was a little messy, Wang Haoxian angrily threw the brush in his hand on the ground, and then tore the half-painted painting into pieces.

After being angry, Wang Haoxian sat on the chair a little tired and closed his eyes to recuperate, but he was still thinking about Xu Hongru's letter in his heart, but he was still unsure of the authenticity of this matter.

At this time, a cronie next to him came over and said softly, "Sect Master, what regulations do you have for this matter?" ”

Wang Haoxian said angrily: "No! ”

Seeing this, the cronie stopped talking, thought for a while, and then fell silent. After a while, Wang Haoxian saw that his cronies were gone, so he opened his eyes and looked over, and asked, "Why don't you speak?" Do you have any insights on this? ”

The cronie smiled, then attached to Wang Haoxian's ear, and whispered: "Sect Leader Qiqi, it's like this: the villain has an eyeliner in the Beijing Division, and he sent me news two days ago, saying that he heard that the imperial court had transported a sum of food and salary to the vicinity of Dengzhou City, and it seemed that it had been handed over to the Hanwei camp, as for the specific amount, it is not clear where it will be transported; There is one more thing, I think Xu Heyu should really be dead, it is said that someone saw his head in a village east of Jinan, and it was the Hanwei camp who did it. ”

As soon as the words fell, Wang Haoxian bounced up from the chair, staring at the cronie with his eyes, so frightened that the cronie almost sat on the ground. After a while, Wang Haoxian squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Summon, gather all the men, gather all the armor soldiers, and go to Shandong with me!" ”
