"Shang-" The four of them held sticks of various colors and sizes and thicknesses, and before they finished speaking, they couldn't help but start smashing at Zhao Dezhao, who was wearing a black robe.

Zhao Dezhao saw that the four of them shot together with sticks, and now the four of them surrounded him in the four corners of the southeast, south, west, and northwest, there was no gap at all, and in an instant, he quickly pushed away Zhou Jiamin beside him, Zhou Jiamin had fallen to the ground next to him, his hands were supported on the ground, and he looked at Zhao Dezhao who was surrounded by four people nervously at the moment.

Zhao Dezhao was besieged in the crowd, and he couldn't spare his hands for a while, so he had to dodge. Today's luck is bad, when I go out, I am chased and robbed, I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out, and I forgot to wear the dagger. And the four people in front of him, like a swarm, seemed to be unkind to look like this, and just listened to the man, he felt that there seemed to be someone behind him who was controlling all this.

Who is it? Why did this incident happen as soon as he came to Jinling City, he felt that it was not an accident, and now he no longer thought about it, but how to subdue or get rid of these four people in hand-to-hand combat.

Zhao Dezhao, as a soldier, was also observing these four people. These four people are skillful and steady, and they don't seem to be able to find any flaws at once, and from the perspective of their stick methods, they are also well versed in the way of a family, that is, practicing a family.

It's so dangerous, the mace held by the man who claimed to be the boss was already a hand away from Zhao Dezhao's chest, Zhao Dezhao immediately hunched his waist, flashed sideways, and dodged the past, but the cuffs of the shirt were scratched by the mace, and a few cuts were made, and the dirty clothes inside were also exposed.

It's okay if the cuffs are broken, it's okay if the person is okay, Zhou Jiamin watched from the side, covered his chest with his hands, clapped his hands and took a long breath, looking around to see if anyone was passing by, but disappointed that there were no pedestrians passing by, it seemed that these four people had prepared everything and chose this place to shoot, and at the same time Zhou Jiamin also looked left and right to find out if there was a "weapon" to take advantage of.

One stick missed, and the others were unwilling, and then another stick, the second one fell into the air, and the force used just now was too great, and the ground was a little potholed, and even people with sticks almost leaned forward. Zhao Dezhao borrowed his strength, and he got out of the encirclement from the second one, flashed back, and successfully came out.

Two fists are hard to beat four hands, not to mention that there are eight hands and four sticks in front of him, Zhao Dezhao saw that it was not too early, and he was afraid that it would not be a head if he was entangled again, and there was no weapon in his hand, although he had two fists, he could not use his strength, and the four of them had no flaws at all.

"Let's go!" Zhou Jiamin was still stunned, Zhao Dezhao ran over quickly, and then grabbed Zhou Jiamin with one hand, and then ran to the dirt road.

"The second, the third, the fourth, chase quickly, don't let that kid and the little girl run away!" The first four people in the back have been chasing after each other with sticks.

Zhao Dezhao and Zhou Jiamin have deviated from the original way back to the city, and there are many lakes and swamps in front of them, and the situation in front of them seems to be running towards the mountains.

The four people in the back chased after each other, and the four of them gradually couldn't support their strength, Zhao Dezhao and Zhou Jiamin in front of them also ran in a mess, and Zhao Dezhao's right arm in black clothes was also cut several times.

At this time, the two of them noticed that this road was not the road back to the city, and now that it was getting late, it was estimated that the gate of Jinling City back to Jiangning Mansion was also closed.

Zhao Dezhao was a little weak, and Zhou Jiamin was also confused, the four people had disappeared behind them as if they had disappeared, and it was not early, and the tired birds returned to the forest, she remembered that there was a temple near here, called Yuanshan Temple [Jiming Temple], so she said: "Brother Zhao, there is a Yuanshan Temple near here, I'm afraid I will ask them for the abbot to stay overnight tonight." ”

"Round Death Temple?" Zhao Dezhao didn't remember this temple for a while, and he asked, "Is it almost there?" "Because there are not many people around, and there is a wasteland and fields outside the city, and in the distance there are mountains and rivers connected to it, and surrounded by lakes, this whole cold autumn seems even more lonely and melancholy.

If Zhao Dezhao is not mistaken, the lake in the distance is Xuanwu Lake, and the Xuanwu Lake in the Six Dynasties period is directly connected with the Yangtze River, and it was also used as a training ground for the naval army at that time, but now it is the Xuanwu Lake in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the water surface area is about three or four times larger than that of later generations.

Zhou Jiamin pointed to the dotted places on the hill in the distance and said, "It's at the Xuantang in the north of Jilong Mountain!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Dezhao can now be sure that it is the predecessor of the Jiming Temple in later generations.

During the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, in 922, Yang Pu took half of the ruins of Tongtai Temple to build the Thousand Buddha Pavilion in Taicheng, and now there is a magnificent temple house on the mountain in the distance.

The two walked up the stone steps and had arrived at the gate of the temple, and when they saw that the gate of the mountain temple was closed, Zhao Dezhao stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After waiting for a pillar of incense, the gate of the mountain temple opened, and a small novice walked out of it and said, "Donor, who are you two?" ”

Zhao Dezhao immediately arched his hand and said: "My brother and sister met a thief in Shicheng Lake today, and now the city gate is closed, I wonder if this little master can let my brother and sister stay in the meditation room of the temple for a night?" ”

"This ...... I quickly went to the abbot and told the two donors that they were waiting at the door! After the little novice finished speaking, he hurried to the other end of the meditation room of the temple.

At this moment, Zhao Dezhao and Zhou Jiamin were waiting at the door, while the four people outside the three zhang were silently remembering this place, and they returned to their lair soon after.

…… After a cup of tea, the little novice went out of the mountain gate, letting Zhao Dezhao and Zhou Jiamin enter, and at the door, Zhao Dezhao saw that there were 4 pieces of three-grade stones placed in front of the main hall of the temple, and the two followed the little novice and entered the west chamber of the Zen room in the backyard together.

Xiao Shami welcomed the two of them to a meditation room in the west chamber and said, "The abbot has sent the deacon and others to clean up the meditation room, and the donor will rest here tonight!" ”

Zhao Dezhao clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you, little master." ”

Before the novice finished speaking, he said again: "This benefactor (referring to Zhao Dezhao), the abbot of my family has been waiting for the abbot [the abbot of the abbot of the Buddhist temple is called the abbot, also known as the head of the hall and the main hall], please go this way!" ”

"Your abbot?"

"Please!"

Passing through the White Lotus Pavilion in the west, Zhao Dezhao looked at the small stone pond on the right side of His Excellency, more than one zhang in the face, this is the release pool, and not far away is where the abbot lives, tonight on the tenth night of the first month, the moon in the sky gradually fills the gibbous moon, illuminating the release pond a touch of brightness.

And this temple to the mountain gate hall - Tianwang Hall - Daxiong Treasure Hall - the temple main offering Bodhisattva Hall - Dharma Hall - Tibetan scripture building this north-south depth axis to organize the space, symmetrical and steady and neat and rigorous, give people a solemn feeling, and this temple is built around the Xuanwu Lake, the night wind blows, there is a moisture in the air.

When he arrived in the meditation room, Zhao Dezhao saw an old monk sitting on the couch in the middle room with closed eyes and white eyebrows, and Zhao Dezhao immediately respectfully said to the abbot who was sitting on it: "I've seen the abbot!" ”

The abbot opened his eyes and said slowly, "Master Zhao, are you here?" ”

Zhao Dezhao was puzzled, "How does the abbot know that the kid's surname is Zhao?" ”

The abbot got up from the couch and said: "The poor monk once heard Mr. Bai Yun and the Mai Taoist say that Zhao Shizhu will always come to this temple one day, and tonight there is a black dragon rising in the water of Xuanwu Lake in the northeast, just as Mr. Bai Yun and Mai Daoist both expected!" When I saw this, I remembered my friend's words, and it was really true! ”

"The abbot laughed, how can there be such a coincidental thing in this world." Zhao Dezhao said with a smile, and then he suddenly remembered to ask the abbot some other things, so he said, "The kid is presumptuous, I don't know what the abbot's name is?" ”

The abbot did not specify: "The name of the poor monk is not enough, Zhao Shizhu is destined to have a catastrophe today, and now the Yuan Death Temple has just solved the siege of Zhao Shizhu." ”

Zhao Dezhao continued: "I don't know which way the people who assassinated me today? Zhao Dezhao guessed that it should be impossible for Li Yu, he didn't have to let the Song army go south in advance in order to assassinate himself, is it the emperor's succession, maybe it's possible, because of revenge. Except for Huangfu Jixun, he couldn't think of who it was.

"Zhao Shizhu should be kind to take precautions, it is estimated that outside the mountain gate at this moment, the group of gangsters are preparing to wait for Zhao Shizhu to go out of the temple!" The abbot was still unwavering, and then he instructed the little novice to wait for the Zhao Shi Master in front of him, and then asked him to go to the pharmacy to get the dog skin plaster.

Zhao Dezhao then gave up his hand, on the way back to the west chamber of the Zen Temple, he has always been very curious about this finger pinching, the Fu Shaozi and the Mai Daoist he wants to meet.

Yue'er is still hanging in the air, and at this moment it has disappeared into the clouds, and the stars are dotted, Zhao Dezhao returned to the West Chamber, and at this moment Zhou Jiamin couldn't wait to come out of the house, and said with concern: "Is your hand okay?" ”

"It's okay, this bruise is nothing, the abbot has already taken the plaster and put it on his arm."

"That's fine, I searched the house for a while, and finally found the needle and thread, and you take off the torn coat, and I will sew it." When Zhou Jiamin said this, his face was as red as a peach blossom, his neck and the back of his ears were also flushed, he lowered his head shyly, and was about to take off Zhao Dezhao's coat after speaking.

Zhao Dezhao smiled embarrassedly, but still took off his coat very consciously. At this moment, there were only two lonely people left in the room, looking at each other and smiling......

……

In the protocol courtyard, Xiao Guizi and others did not see King Wei return at night, so they sent a courtyard of deacons and servants to look for Zhao Dezhao in the courtyard, but they did not find it for a long time, and then went to some lively places in the city to search, but to no avail. Xiao Guizi realized that something was wrong and immediately reported the matter to the official in charge of the protocol house.

The protocol was not far from the palace, and then the news was transmitted to Li Yu in the palace, and Li Yu found the people who were watching Zhao Dezhao and Zhou Jiamin, but they went to Shicheng Lake outside the city, and then disappeared.

If the King of Wei in the Great Song Dynasty made any mistake in the Tang Kingdom, on the contrary, it would become an excuse for Zhao Song to attack the Tang Kingdom, and even use revenge as an incentive for the soldiers to fight to the death.

Li Yu was furious, and immediately sent the forbidden army in the imperial city and the government army in the city to search for the area of Shicheng Lake outside the city.

A group of dragons has begun to make their way out of the city......
