Chapter Twenty-Three: Seeking the Enemy with Heavy Money The elder gave a parting message
But it was said that Sanniang sent Shi Jin and Tang Long away, and turned back to Yanmen County, and when they arrived on the street, they saw two Chinese characters taking two posters, asking questions on the street, and surrounded the crowd of people left and right. Sanniang was curious, and when she looked at her head slightly, she only heard the half-familiar Shaanxi accent of the two people and said: "You have seen it carefully, have you ever seen this person, but when there is a whereabouts of this person, the master of my family will be rewarded with 500 yuan of silver." ”
Hearing that there is a heavy reward, sure enough, the crowd is surging, Sanniang looked at it again, this look couldn't help but startle, it turned out that the poster picture was painted on his own costume, who paid for himself? When I went further, I saw a few people sitting in the tea shop on the side, all dressed in Han costumes, and the person at the head turned out to be Wei Mingchengjing!
Sanniang secretly paused, this dog skin plaster actually chased here, but seeing that Chengjing was close to the left, there were no less than ten strong men, and all of them looked fierce, and they all looked fierce, and they were expected to be the elite iron harrier guards brought by Chengjing. Now that he is alone, and he sees that there are many powerful others, if he finds him, it will inevitably be killed, so it is better to go. At that moment, Sanniang lowered her head and turned sideways, picked the corner road, and quietly slipped back to the store.
Back in the store, without Shi Jin's company, Sanniang felt empty for a while, Sanniang remembered Lu Zhishen's matter, and was afraid that he would be found by Wei Mingchengjing's gang, so he packed up, settled the store money, and went out of the store, so he went to Wutai Mountain.
When I arrived at Wenshu Monastery on Wutai Mountain, when Sanniang looked outside the temple, it was really a good temple! But see: the mountain gate invades the green ridge Fangfang, and the Buddha hall receives the green clouds. The bell tower is connected with the moon cave, and the pavilion is opposite to each other. The incense soup kitchen leads to a spring water, and the monks are surrounded by smoke. The old monk abbot fights on the bullside, and the Zen guest scripture hall is in the clouds. The white-faced ape always offers fruits, knocking strange stones on wooden fish; The yellow-spotted deer is holding flowers day by day, offering the golden Buddha to the treasure hall. The seven-story pagoda is connected to Danxiao, and the holy monks of the ages come to the temple.
Sanniang walked forward, only to see the temple door closed, a group of pilgrims were stopped by several Zhike monks to persuade back, Sanniang Wu was strange, when she stepped forward, she was also stopped by Zhike monks and said: "Tan Yue and live, today by the temple to rebuild a few houses, to thank the guests for a few days." ”
Sanniang smiled and said, "I'm here to visit Master Zhishen." But after a few acquaintances and monks looked at each other strangely, one of them asked, "The little official is surnamed Hu?" Sanniang felt strange in her heart, but she still bowed her head and said: "Exactly, how does the little master know my surname?" ”
The monk said: "Elder Zhizhen, the presiding officer of the temple, has a verbal explanation this morning, if there is a person surnamed Hu who comes to seek Zhishen, but the teaching will be introduced." Sanniang was secretly frightened, how could this Elder Zhizhen know that he was coming today, did he really have the ability to be an unpredictable prophet?
At the moment, Hu Sanniang was introduced by the monk who knew the guest, only to see that the temple was in a mess everywhere, and the broken King Kong statue was carried out of the hall, and the injured monks, fireworkers, old men, straight halls, and sedan chair men could be seen everywhere. Sanniang thought about it at this time, it turned out to be the scene where Lu Zhishen made a fuss after returning to the mountain drunk yesterday.
Entering the elder's inner hall, I saw Lu Zhishen kneeling there on a futon, and sat cross-legged on the top of a half-hundred monks, with a charitable face, and when he saw Sanniang coming, he got up to ask for an inquiry, Sanniang returned a salute, and the elder taught a small novice to take a round stool to teach Sanniang to sit. When Sanniang looked at Lu Zhishen, she saw Lu Tisha kneeling quietly and didn't look at her.
Fang sat down, and the elder said, "Xiao Tanyue is here for Zhishen?" Sanniang said: "After yesterday's separation, I missed it in my heart, and today I came to be similar." The elder said: "Zhishen was already drunk once three or four months ago, and he made trouble in the monk's hall, which was a mistake. Yesterday, he was drunk again, broke King Kong, collapsed the pavilion, and made trouble in the hall to choose the Buddha field, his sin karma is not light; He wounded all the Zen scholars again. I'm a monk here, it's a pure place, and it's not good for him to do that. Shicai has already written a letter with him and settled in a place in Tokyo. Xiao Tanyue has a lot of connections with Zhishen, so if you want to go to Tokyo, you might as well go with him. ”
Sanniang tilted her head slightly and said, "Master, you seem to know everything." The elder smiled and didn't answer, but said, "Xiao Tanyue came to have a fate." In the early years, a Taoist priest came to me, and sent a pair of blades here to teach people who were destined. Xiao Tanyue is the person who is destined, and he will give it to Xiao Tanyue today. Immediately, he ordered the two little novices to fetch a pair of blades from the quiet room.
When Sanniang looked at it, she saw that there were two double knives, and the two little novices carried one out, which seemed not light. Sanniang took the double knife, and sure enough, the knife in her right hand was seven or eight pounds, and the knife in her left hand was about six or seven pounds.
The elder said: "This is the sun and moon yin and yang double knife, the right side weighs eight catties, the left side weighs six catties, these knives sharpen iron like mud, thin as cicada wings, left and right secretly Yin and Yang homogeneous meaning, only Xiao Tanyue to use it properly." ”
Sanniang's face changed slightly, could it be that the old monk knew that he was a woman and a man? Seeing Sanniang's complexion, the elder smiled and said: "Xiao Tanyue's private affairs, he should be tight-lipped like a bottle, the Buddha said, don't say it, don't say it." ”
Sanniang put her mind at ease and secretly thought that this old monk must be a refined thing! When I turned my head but looked at the double knife, I saw that the knife body was as long as autumn water, slender as cicada wings, and the handle of the knife was carved with double-headed pear blossoms. Sanniang's martial arts but seeking wonderful speed, these two knives come, and I feel that the knife speed is getting faster and faster, and there is a feeling of adding wings to a tiger.
Exactly: the double-edged look is like a swimming dragon, and the clouds and fog are idle. Step on the stars and stop, chasing the soul and killing the sun and moon knife.
At that moment, Sanniang was overjoyed, thanked the elder, and the elder helped him once, and then looked at Zhishen and Sanniang and said: "There are two more verses here, teach the two of you, use them for life, and remember today's words." Zhishen and Sanniang knelt down and bowed: "I would like to listen to the elders." The elder took out two pieces of yellow paper and divided them into two and said, "From the point of view, I remember it in my heart." ”
Hu Sanniang looked at herself and wrote on the yellow paper: "Women create the current situation, and the earth goes against the destiny of heaven." Tiankui Dou transferred, and there were other Tota people. Jing is difficult to cause disaster, but there is a dragon Xingshi. When the purple gas comes from the east, it will flow through the ages. ”
After reading it once, she couldn't get the essentials, Sanniang peeked at the Zhishen yellow paper, and saw that it was written: "Rise when you meet wisdom, and inherit when you meet the forest." When it meets the river, it turns when it meets the yuan. ”
Sanniang looked at it and wondered in her heart, remembering that the words in the book were not these few sentences, Elder Zhizhen looked at her puzzled look, and smiled faintly: "What's wrong?" ”
Sanniang knew that she couldn't hide it from the old monk, so she said honestly: "It doesn't seem to be these words." ”
The elder smiled and said, "Today, but when you don't come, there will be other words and wisdom. ”
When Sanniang heard this, her eyes widened, and she secretly thought, "Is this okay?" This old monk is so cunning and has prepared two sets of verses, but when I don't come, what I give to Master Lu must be 'rise in the forest, and get rich in the mountains.' When it meets the water, it stops when it meets the river'. Now in these two sentences, the word Hui is me, the word Lin is the senior brother Lin Chong, who is the Jiang Heyuan behind? Did Jiang mean Song Jiang? ”
The elder smiled, "Keep it in mind, and you'll see it later." At that moment, he took back the two yellow pieces of paper and internalized them in the incense burner.
Lu Zhishen and Hu Sanniang both memorized those words and bowed to the elders nine times. The elder summoned Lu Zhishen, and after a few words, he taught Zhishen to carry the package, waist bag, belly bag, hide the letter, and go down the mountain with Hu Sanniang. The two resigned from the elders and the monks and left Wutai Mountain. Lu Zhishen came down the mountain, only to say that he had fought a blade in the blacksmith shop before, and the two went to the blacksmith to get a Zen staff and a knife.
When they arrived at the blacksmith shop, the two family members were ready, made a scabbard, and put the ring knife in the sheath, but the Zen staff was wrapped in lacquer. Sanniang saw a lot of blades, and she couldn't bear it in her heart, so she took out the sun and moon double knives and looked at them, and secretly thought: "I was forced to be embarrassed by Wei Ming Chengjing's treasure knife in the past, but I didn't know that this sun and moon double knife could withstand the owl kiss treasure knife?" ”
When Sanniang was in the corner of the blacksmith shop, she pulled out the owl kiss knife, and when she took the sun and moon knife to look at each other, she used the sun and moon knife to cut on the edge of the owl kiss knife, but after hearing a crisp sound like a dragon's roar, when looking at the two knives, they were intact. Sanniang was overjoyed, it seems that the Sun and Moon Knife is comparable to the Owl Kiss Knife, and it is also a treasure knife that sharpens iron like clay.
When Zhishen heard the sound and asked, Sanniang told the origin of the owl kissing knife, and Zhishen looked at the knife and praised: "Sure enough, it is a good knife." Sanniang said: "Master Lu, how about giving you this good knife?" Zhishen smiled and said: "Hu Guanren, this knife is good, but the Sprinkle family prefers to make a Zen staff, and this knife is left to the destined person." ”
When he was young, Zhishen had a complete blade, rewarded the blacksmith with some broken silver, carried the package, crossed the sword, carried the Zen staff, bid farewell to the innkeeper and the blacksmith, and traveled on the road with Hu Sanniang. People in the past have seen that the two are very strange, one is a reckless monk, the other is a handsome little official, and the appearance is too far apart.
Let's say that Lu Zhishen and Hu Sanniang left the Wenshu Monastery on Wutai Mountain and took the road to Tokyo. After walking for half a month, Zhishen did not go to the temple to rest on the road, but just accompanied Hu Sanniang to make a fire in the inn and buy food in the wine shop during the day.
Walking with Lu Zhishen is another situation, Zhishen is thick and fine, the two talk about guns and sticks all the way, talk about some things in the rivers and lakes, but they also surrender.
In the middle of a day, the two greedy to watch the mountains and rivers show, but they didn't realize that it was late. But see:
The shadow of the mountain is deep and the clear water is beautiful, and the sunset is gradually oblique in Huaiyin. Birds chirp in the suburbs of green poplars; The cattle and sheep in Hongxing Village returned. The sunset brings smoke and blue fog, and the broken glow reflects the water and scatters red light. The fishing boats by the stream moved to the boat, and the village children in the wild crossed the calves and returned.
Lu Zhishen and Hu Sanniang were greedy for a long time because they saw the beautiful landscapes, and they couldn't catch up with the accommodation, Zhishen said: "Hu Guanren, how about sleeping in the wild for a night?" Sanniang smiled and said: "Hurry up, go for a while, if there is no one yet, it will not be too late to sleep in the open." ”
So the two of them drove three or twenty miles of fields, crossed a stone bridge, and saw a cluster of red glow in the distance, and among the trees, there was a village courtyard, and the back of the village was overlapped, and it was all a chaotic mountain.
Seeing the lights, Lu Zhishen said happily: "If you have a manor, you can go to the village to spend the night." When the two of them ran to the front of the village to look, they saw that it was dark, and dozens of dealers were still in a hurry, moving east and west.
Lu Zhishen and Hu Sanniang went to the front of the village, leaned on the Zen staff, and Sanniang said: "I'll go to spend the night, and Master Lu will rest for a while." After that, Hu Sanniang stepped forward to talk to Zhuang Ke.
