At this time, the two novices held the tea tray in their hands and brought hot tea to everyone, then turned around and went out and covered the door. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Chang Yuling said to the supreme master; "Master Abbot, the holy relics of your temple have been brought back, and the Yin Mansion is a secret post and is heavily guarded, thanks to the great help of my friends, it has been successfully completed." After speaking, the two masters of Zhishan and Zhixing introduced Lu Caiting to everyone one by one.
Gu Tao unloaded the package from his back and put it on the coffee table, and then untied the black cloth, and suddenly, the room was full of brilliance, and the jasper Guanyin fainted with bursts of turquoise water ripples.
The two masters of Zhishan and Zhixing widened their eyes and their eyes were shining, although they had decades of Taoist cultivation, they still couldn't hide the joy and excitement in their hearts at this time.
Gu Tao stepped aside and pointed to Jasper Guanyin; "The holy relic of your temple, Jasper Guanyin, is now returned to Zhao, please ask the abbot and the two masters of the temple to identify the real fake."
"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south! The merits of the donors are immeasurable," the Supreme Master felt a little out of shape in himself, quickly restrained some of his emotions, and replied with his hands folded; "You don't need to identify, just look at the water ripples emitted by the Holy Venerable's body, you can conclude that it is the real body, this is a thousand years of crystal ice cold jade carving, with a faint emerald green luster, clear and translucent, and the luster is water ripples undulating curve, which is unique in the world, and no jade can be replaced."
Ning Chenlong also nodded and added; "This kind of jade is in the specific environment of the stratum, which has been eroded by wind and rain for thousands of years, and also absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, and the natural formation of the luster nature of the pattern, I have a vast land in China, and all kinds of treasures emerge in endlessly, which is enough to make the world today strange and rare, impressive."
The Supreme Master was full of piety, put his hands together, bent down and bowed to several young guests; "The holy venerable of our temple is lost and regained, but also the blessing of the Buddha, the great kindness of several donors makes the old monk unable to report, the old monk for the monks of the temple thanked several donors for their righteous actions, and the complete merits of several donors also add color to the Bodhisattva, and will be rewarded in the future."
Chang Yuling shook her hand; "Master Abbot doesn't have to be so polite, these friends of the younger generation are all bow and knife rangers who understand righteousness, generous and bold, and unconventional, and this is also my national treasure of China, how can we sit back and watch it lose to the small country of devils!"
Gu Tao also pointed to Jasper Guanyin and urged; "The two masters hurry up and collect it, this time it must be collected, if Yin Ao's kid finds that the jasper Guanyin is missing, he will definitely not give up, and he will definitely bring someone to your temple to search again, so the two masters must collect it properly."
After listening to this, the Supreme Master sighed, turned his head and said to the Supreme Master; "Senior brother, I've bothered a lot this time, I must collect it."
Zhixing nodded; "Senior brother, rest assured, the senior brother must do a good job according to the instructions of the senior brother, the person is in the Holy Venerable, and the person is not in the Holy Venerable." After that, he turned around and went out of the room.
The guests of honor sat down separately, all took the bowl of tea to savor, the fragrant tea of Buddhism is really fragrant, refreshing the heart and lungs, around the intestines, intriguing, Hu'er took a few sips, praised loudly; "Good tea, fragrant and refreshing, this Buddhist tea is really not a little worldly, it can be called a new and pure fragrance." Although he has not officially entered the academy to study, he has always been with the young master, heard and seen, and has been taught by the young master, in fact, his cultural knowledge is already quite good.
Master Supreme Kindness explained with a smile; "In fact, the tea leaves of our temple are not considered to be the top products in the tea ceremony, mainly water, the flying spring that flows down from the mountain behind the temple is the water of the yin river in the belly of the mountain, which is particularly clear and cold, and it is used to make tea, so the fragrance is roundabout."
Lu Caiting also took a few sips of tea, stunned, and said casually; "The flying stream goes straight down to 3,000 feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way falls for nine days, the water splashed down by this mountain stream, condenses the aura of nature, must be particularly clear and pure, and of course it is fragrant and overflowing with tea, and the nectar lingers."
When everyone heard this, they all drank tea and savored it carefully.
Seeing several young guests drinking tea and tasting it easily, the atmosphere was pleasant, the white eyebrows of the Supreme Master moved, and the snow hair under his neck also inadvertently twitched a few times, he couldn't bear it, and finally sighed heavily and sighed with emotion; "Several donors are young and young, high-spirited, vigorous, containing the spirit of the dragon and the tiger, the old monk is envious, good, and at the same time ashamed ......"
Everyone listened to the emotion of the Supreme Master, and they should have something to say, and they all looked at him in unison.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the Supreme Master pondered for a moment and explained; The old monk sighed with emotion for a while, and the donors didn't have to care...... In fact, the old monk also once received a few lay disciples, teaching by word and deed, painstakingly and painstakingly, I expected them to be able to carry forward their martial arts, and support justice in the rivers and lakes, but as soon as the Japanese entered China, a few disciples joined the army to serve the country, and so far there is no news, and there is another disciple who has the highest understanding among many disciples, outstanding, and has won the old monk's inheritance, but what the old monk never expected is that he actually took refuge in the imperial army, became a traitor, and made a battalion commander in the Yuxi County Security Corps, the old monk was heartbroken, I can't regret it! I wanted to get rid of him personally, but he was too old, and the years were not forgiving, and he wanted to send the monks of our temple to go, but I was afraid that the monks would not help him, but he would affect our temple...... The old monk felt guilty for a long time, like choking his throat...... Amitabha, sin, sin ......"
It turned out that this enlightened monk actually had a disciple who betrayed the teacher and the nation and became a traitor, and the teacher was unfortunate, which naturally made people miserable, and everyone was silent.
Ning Chenlong put down the tea bowl and said with relief to the Supreme Master; "Master Abbot does not have to blame himself, with the master's profound cultivation and discernment, he should not choose the evil person, I am afraid that the disciple will have any hardships, so let's tell us the name of the disciple, if there is a chance to meet him, we will be kind and advised, if he insists on going his own way, or if there is a crime of helping the devil to harm the Chinese, we will clean up the door on behalf of your sect and get rid of him."
"That's the bestβ" When the Supreme Master heard this, he turned his sorrow into joy; "This evil animal is called Zhen Lingshan, the rivers and lakes are nicknamed 'Sullen Thunder Tiger', his temperament is also straightforward, there is no bad roots, I hope he can be under the righteous influence of the benefactors, turn back to the shore, if there is really any crime that harms the nation, it is best to eliminate it, and it can be regarded as a harm for our temple and the place......" Speaking of this, he raised his left arm, lifted the sleeve of his robe, took a string of sandalwood Buddhist beads from his wrist and handed it to Ning Chenlong, and continued; As soon as the evil animal saw this Buddha bead, he understood everything. β
Ning Chenlong respectfully took the sandalwood Buddhist beads and collected them in his arms.
The expression of the Supreme Master seemed to be much more relaxed, and he reached out to stroke the snow-white beard under his head, and said with a little excitement; "Good, trouble the donors again, I'm really embarrassed, alas, I think that the Yin Mansion is heavily guarded, and the donors can enter and go freely, which shows that the skills and means of the donors are also unparalleled, not by the old monk does not sincerely admire, nor by the old monk does not open his mouth to support him, seeing that the donors are all dignified, righteous and awe-inspiring, the old monk is full of emotion......"
At this time, Master Zhixing hurriedly returned to the side room, covered the door, came to the middle of the room, he brought a large wooden box and some yellow cloth, oilcloth and other things, the wooden box is a delicately carved rosewood box, which is lined with cotton wool and red velveteen, as well as musk, saffron and antiseptic medicine, Master Zhixing carefully put the jasper Guanyin into the wooden box, covered the lid, and then wrapped it in yellow cloth, and finally wrapped it in oilcloth, and tied the rope.
Seeing this scene, Lu Caiting hurriedly got up and said goodbye to the Supreme Master; "Master Abbot, juniors are saying goodbye!"
Master Zhishan also hurriedly got up and stretched out his hand to stop Lu Caiting and said; "Although our temple is a pure place, there are many rules and precepts, and there are no meat dishes, but there are still good water and wine, and the donors will eat a vegetarian meal, drink a few glasses of water and wine and then leave."
Lu Caiting smiled and declined; "Forget it today, another day the juniors will come to the door to bother, you must drink with the master, the master will stay and don't send it, it is good to keep the holy relics of your temple."
Several people walked out of the mountain gate of Qingyuan Temple, and Lu Caiting hugged his fists and said goodbye to Gu Tao; "Brother Gu, I will leave here, Hu'er and I will go back to Yanyu Guanshimen, visit the master and his old man, and trouble Brother Gu to go back and send Brother Ning and Brother Chang to the gate of the county by the way."
The six people waved their fists and said goodbye, the disciples of Yanzimen untied the reins of the horses, raised their whips to urge the horses, the carriage started rolling, and returned to the mountain according to the original way, while Lu Caiting and Hu'er continued to climb the mountain.
Unconsciously, Lu Caiting and Hu'er have climbed halfway up the mountain, it is the early spring season, the mountains are stacked with green, the trees are luxuriant, the new branches sprout, all kinds of mountain flowers are all over the mountains and fields, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the scenery is very charming, with a high overlook, the distant mountains are like Dai, faintly about, the winding highway stretches like a jade belt, the Yuma River is surging and rushing, the sky is high and the clouds are light, making people feel relaxed and happy, and they forget to return.
While enjoying the mountain scenery, the two of them were hurrying away, and the tiger suddenly said; "Young master, the chili girl I met at the foot of the mountain just now is as red as a fire, coming and going like the wind, beautiful and handsome, heroic and bold, but it also makes people linger for a long time after seeing it."
Lu Caiting smiled and teased him; "You kid, you know that you are worried about this good thing, if you like that girl, I will ask someone to go to the cottage to give you a dowry when I go back."
When Hu'er heard this, he hurriedly pleaded; "The young master said that there is, although the girl is handsome, but she can only be admired from afar, you didn't hear her nickname 'Fire Chili', her personality is hot, if you really marry and return home, I'm afraid that few men can stand it."
"Brother, it seems that you are still interesting." When Lu Caiting heard him say this, he couldn't help laughing.
Hu'er was a little unconvinced and nagged; "In fact, that girl's beauty can only be regarded as average, at best, it is better than the usual vulgar fans, if it is compared with Silver Phoenix, Sister Sifeng, it will be dwarfed and overshadowed, Sister Sifeng's beauty is unique in the world, and there is a great wisdom in her beauty, a fearless temperament, which makes people suddenly revered at first sight, the woman our young master will marry in the future is a woman like Sister Sifeng, and only a woman like Sister Sifeng is worthy of our young master."
Lu Caiting was even happier by Hu'er's words, and his heart was pounding, he glanced at Hu'er, and deliberately said angrily; "You kid, when did you learn to flamboy?" In fact, his beating heart has an inexplicable sense of loss, and a trace of melancholy thoughts have jumped into the clouds, flying over the sky of Xiaoxi County, and before he knows it, the smoke and rain appear in front of him.
The view of smoke and rain is built on the wall on the half-waist mountain of the mountain of Weimeng, the house of Guanyu is blue bricks and blue tiles, the eaves and the arch of the eaves are there, there is the momentum of soaring in the sky, and the geographical environment here is particularly unique, under the view of the universe, the white clouds are swirling, the fog is misty all the year round, the view of smoke and rain is built by selecting the unique environment here, and it also adds a layer of mysterious color to it.
The view of smoke and rain is located on the misty mountain cliff, the environment is mysterious and deep, it is not only famous for asking God to sign the fortune for hundreds of miles, but also mainly for its Qihuang medical skills to drink the apricot forest, a lot of incurable diseases and dying terminal diseases, to here, the Taoist Dan practitioners here will use exquisite medical skills, resurrection from the dead, save people in death and pain, create miracles, so, not only hundreds of miles of people, that is, thousands of miles away people are also admired to come one after another, offering incense and worshiping God, the main cloud crane Taoist is also respected by people as a real person, Saibi Bian Que, Huatuo.
Outside the Taoist temple mountain gate, there are four 'purple gas from the east' ancient seal characters that are more than one person high on the stone wall, the mountain gate is majestic and strict, the gold powder plaque is 'smoke and rain view', Lu Caiting and Hu'er strode into the mountain gate, in the open space in front of the main hall, two seventeen or eighteen-year-old Taoist disciples are holding brooms to clean the field.
The two Taoist disciples had long hair tied in a knot on the top of their heads, tied with thick ropes, dark gray Taoist clothes, Taoist trousers, white socks and shoes, the two disciples looked like a full moon, their eyes were clear and their eyebrows were beautiful, and their appearance was very cute. "Little Senior Brother, Brother Tiger!!" While running over, he enthusiastically grabbed the two.
These two young disciples, one is called Meng Yi and the other is called Xin Yang, they are the junior disciples of Lu Caiting's master, because they are close in age to Lu Caiting, and their feelings are very deep, although Hu'er is not a regular disciple of the Yanyuguan Natural Sect, because he often accompanies the master to come here, and also learns a natural sect kung fu from the master, and has been cultivated for a long time, in fact, he is a disciple of the natural sect, he and Meng Yi and Xin Yang are in the same age, often learn and exchange kung fu martial arts together, and often tell them some interesting stories about martial arts on the rivers and lakes under the mountain. It's even more brotherly intimacy.
"Master, where is his old man?" Lu Caiting patted the shoulders of the two junior brothers and asked.
Xin Yang took Lu Caiting's hand and replied with a smile; "The old man is in the heart room of the apse, and his old man is talking to you these days, let's take you there!" After that, he took Lu Caiting and Hu'er bypassed the main hall in front of him, and went straight to the apse.
In the apse side room to nourish the heart, the turtle back cloud window, the curtain hangs low, but the light is still sufficient and bright, quiet and quiet, a huge picture of Taishang Laojun hangs on the wall, the color is a little faded, it seems to be a bit old, the ground is painted with the Taiji Bagua map, a set of pineapple wood square table and stool on the right, a delicately carved white ibis cloud bed on the left, there is a Taoist priest sitting cross-kneeled on the cloud bed, nearly sixty years old, the body is slightly thin, the hair bun is high, the silver hairpin, five locks of green beard hang down the chest, he is holding the orchid finger in his hand, closing his eyes and being restrained, concentrating on pranayama.
Lu Caiting, Hu'er walked into the room lightly, bowed and saluted; "Disciple, please say hello to the master!" "Hu'er greets the real person!"
The Taoist priest on the cloud bed is the master of the smoke and rain, and also the master of Lu Caiting, the natural sect master Yunhe Zhenren, the real person slowly opened his eyes, nodded at the two, and then he got up from the cloud bed and stood up, put on his shoes, shook his Taoist clothes, stroked his green beard, paced slowly, and walked silently, his eyes were clear as cold, elite and contained, and the light posture of riding the crane and the demeanor of the nine skies revealed a bit of leisure and calmness.
Hu'er quietly withdrew from the room and went to play with Meng Yi and Xin Yang, who were waiting for him, Lu Caiting sat down at the square table, reached out and poured out a glass of water from the teapot on the table, and took a few sips.
Yunhe Zhenren looked at the disciple and asked; "You kid, what are you still rubbing? Are the personnel organized? Your senior brother has already written to urge him three times, don't you want to help him? β
Lu Caiting put down the teacup and replied loudly; "It's already organized, it's all people who have been exiled here from the Northeast, they have the guts, they are skilled in disarming firearms, and they are proficient in Japanese, but they are just ......" At this, he suddenly hesitated, and hesitated.
Yunhe Zhenren just stared at him with his eyes, and was not in a hurry to ask anything.
Lu Caiting was atmospheric and continued as if he had made up his mind; "After careful consideration, the disciple can go and eliminate the devil's sniper for the senior brother, but the disciple will not participate in the ****."
Yunhe Zhenren's slender eyebrows twitched slightly, and he asked in a light tone; After all, **** is the main force to resist the Japanese invaders, the backbone of the country, you don't want to join such an army, so what kind of army do you want to join?"
Lu Caiting's delicate eyebrows were raised, and there was a bright light in his clear eyes, and he replied firmly; "I want to join the Communist Party's New Fourth Army."
Yunhe Zhenren shook his head and let out a long sigh; "The Communist Party's New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army are actively resisting Japan, bravely fighting blood, and have been recognized and supported by the people, but their army quality is poor, weapons and equipment are inferior, and there is almost no supply from the back.
Lu Caiting's pupils turned, unhurriedly; "**** well-equipped, millions of troops, but in the three eastern provinces, hundreds of thousands of troops were ordered not to resist, scattered into the pass to fight the communists, and gave up the great rivers and mountains of the three eastern provinces to the Japanese, did the national government think about the common people there? The Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing, the Battle of Xuzhou, hundreds of thousands of **** were defeated for thousands of miles...... Master, the Nationalist Government did not really resist Japan, such a government, such an army is unbelievable......"
Yunhe Zhenren sighed, heavy and authentic; "Immeasurable Tianzun, although the teacher is outside the Three Realms, but he still knows some mundane things, overthrowing the Manchu court, establishing the national government, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have already cooperated once, in the Northern Expedition War, the Communists threw their heads and shed blood to make immortal feats, but Premier Sun Yat-sen died as an immortal, and after ****** grasped power, he engaged in dictatorship and wantonly slaughtered the Communists, and the Communists can be described as a river of blood...... However, as soon as the iron hooves of the Japanese invasion stepped into China, the Communists even disregarded their previous suspicions and cooperated with the Kuomintang again to form a united front, which was really big-minded, magnanimous, and high-spirited, and people had to admire it from the bottom of their hearts......" Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and continued; "In fact, these are conflicts of interest between their parties, and we ordinary people can only sigh with joy...... But as far as the current situation is concerned, the **** strength is much stronger after all, you see your senior brother, the second senior brother only fought a few battles after joining the ****, and he was promoted to the division commander and regiment commander of the ****, the dignified anti-Japanese **** general, it is really glorious to the ancestors, and even the division is also stained. β
"Master," Lu Caiting also stood up, he knew that it would be difficult to change the master's concept for a while, so he said unhurriedly; "The **** strength is also temporary, the war continues, the communist army will definitely grow stronger, alas, so let's do it, master, let me give you a simple example, there is a **** and a communist army on the march at the same time, and it is found that in the village in front, there are devil soldiers burning and killing the people, what choice will the two armies make? It will definitely take a detour because the situation ahead is unclear, but the communist army will be desperate to stop the devils and rescue the villagers, what is this called? This is called the division of benevolence and righteousness, the army that really protects the people, is not afraid of sacrifice, the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and the communist army has no supply, but the people would rather save food from their mouths to them, in terms of military sources, **** relies on the ocean and forced conscription, and the communist army is the people's parents and wives happily send their children and husbands to join, such an army, its combat effectiveness is naturally extraordinary, so the communist army will definitely grow and develop. β
Yunhe Zhenren didn't say anything after listening, and the room was silent for a while, and after a long time, Yunhe Zhenren was talented; "As a teacher, I still hope that you will join the ****, the conditions there are good, the development space is large, or it won't be long before your talent and learning will soon set off an anti-Japanese wave in the Mongolian area, and the Japanese puppet army will be restless, worried, and the grass and trees are all soldiers."
Lu Caiting still replied patiently; "I know that the master is for the sake of the disciple, **** there is indeed superior conditions, personnel and equipment are existing, and it is easy to achieve fame under several battles, prestige in the world, and even increase the official into the knighthood, thank you for the kindness of the master, the disciple has made up his mind, or participate in the New Fourth Army, although the conditions of the New Fourth Army are poor, but the disciple will also make the Japanese devils frightened, frightened, only with such a sincere anti-Japanese, sincere protection of the common people of the army, the disciple can be down-to-earth." His voice wasn't loud, but his tone was unusually firm.
Yunhe Zhenren had to re-concentrate and look at the usually gentle and quiet disciple in front of him again, his heart fluctuated slightly, he understood that this disciple had matured, had his own thoughts, had his own ambitions and pursuits, and he was also happy for him, among the many disciples, this disciple had the highest understanding, and it was also the one he spent the most effort on...... But the young man, after all, is superficial and impulsive, and he paces back and forth, caught up in a deliberate trade-off.
Yunhe Zhenren stopped, and his tone was a little worried; "What if the division agrees with you to join the New Fourth Army? At the foot of the Mengmeng Mountain, there is a team of the New Fourth Army on the bank of the Yuma River, but they only have a few hundred people, poor training quality, inferior equipment and weapons, and they dare not fight the Japanese army head-on. β
Lu Caiting smiled and replied confidently; "The current strength of the New Fourth Army is still very thin, and it does not fight head-on with the Japanese army, that is the disparity between the strength of the enemy and us, in order to preserve its strength, it is the guerrilla tactics of the Communist Party, and the Japanese army cannot do it if it wants to eliminate the New Fourth Army, you see, wherever there is resistance to Japan, the Japanese invaders are frantically sweeping and exterminating, but the Eighth Route Army, the anti-Japanese armed forces of the New Fourth Army are more and more exterminated, this is the Communist Party awakening the people, uniting all forces, one day, this force will eventually converge into a rolling torrent, burying the Japanese invaders in the vast sea of the people's war."
Yunhe Zhenren was also moved by the disciple's words, and smiled; "You kid, your mouth is like a river, but you haven't studied for a few years in vain, but you can't be said by the teacher, let's talk about the situation in the Mongolian region in front of you, what will you do after you join the New Fourth Army?"
Lu Caiting pondered for a moment, and then talked eloquently; "First, the disciples will contact the martial arts warriors of the rivers and lakes to join, and then these martial arts masters will teach the soldiers of the New Fourth Army some killing methods to improve the quality and ability of the soldiers, second, the disciples will coordinate the **** joint operations of the senior brothers, so that our strength will grow, third, the disciples want to expand the anti-Japanese base area, control the Weimeng Mountain and the Yuma River, in this way, the communication of the Japanese invaders will be cut off, they will be paralyzed in the county town of Yuxi, they will be crazy to eliminate the New Fourth Army, and the disciples will lead them to the Weimeng Mountain, Relying on the steep mountains and dangerous terrain of the mountain range, the Japanese invaders were consumed and dragged down in the mountains until they were annihilated. β
After Yunhe Zhenren listened, his pupils widened, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but clap his hands and praise; "I can't see it, your kid has not yet come out of the mountain, he has already strategized, he has already had a strategy, and before Wuhou Zhuge came out of Longzhong, he has already divided the world's ancients, good! The Danlian heir who is worthy of my view of smoke and rain......" After praising for a moment, Yunhe Zhenren's brows furrowed again, and he said with a lot of concern; "The mountain has been occupied by two bandits, Tiger Roaring Peak and Leopard Thunder Stream, I heard that they are familiar with the terrain of the mountain, and they are extremely fierce, even the Japanese can't help it, how can you deal with it?"
Lu Caiting chuckled and replied easily; "Although those bandits are fierce, they are only individual abilities, they lack cohesion and the spirit of mutual cooperation, short-sighted, have no lofty ambitions, and cannot become a climate, the disciples will first unite with them to resist the Japanese, if they do not accept it, the disciples will disintegrate them at the right time, most of the bandits are bloody, and they are also poor people, forced to go to Liangshan, and the disciples think that they should be used by the disciples."
Yunhe Zhenren's gaze turned to the cloud window, and he said in a long voice; "From a secular point of view, people are terrible, as long as you take someone to bring a gun and camp on the mountain for a day, merge with those bandits, even if you fall into the grass, you can't get rid of a bandit word, my Yanyuguan Natural Sect and your Qinglong Hall are both upright and famous families in the rivers and lakes, how can you afford this bandit? Does Ling Zun know your thoughts and intentions? If you want to be a teacher, I am afraid that Ling Zun will not agree......"
Lu Caiting still smiled and replied calmly; "The country will fall, who will care about what bandits are not bandits, and the slaves of the dead country are familiar with the bandits? Even if a disciple is a bandit, he is also an anti-Japanese bandit, a bandit who defends the country! There are also bandits who have achieved positive results in history, such as the heroes of the green forest of Wagangzhai in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, the righteous heroes of Shuibo Liangshan in the Northern Song Dynasty, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and doing the right thing for heaven...... There are still disciples who have not yet told their father, but their father is also a reasonable person, and he will definitely support his disciples. β
Yunhe Zhenren didn't speak, he returned to the cloud bed, sat cross-legged, set the shape of the orchid finger on his knees with both hands, slowly lowered his eyelids, closed his eyes and was introverted, and soon entered a state of selflessness.
Lu Caiting quietly returned to the table and sat down, he knew that he had not defected to the **** according to the master's wishes, the master must be unhappy in his heart, after all, the master is a person who understands righteousness, and after weighing and struggling in his heart, he will definitely agree to himself.
After a while, Meng Yi pushed the door in and said to Yunhe Zhenren; "Master, it's time to eat!"
The real man opened his eyes sharply and commanded; "Yi'er, for the sake of the master and your senior brother Caiting, we won't go to the dining room to eat, you bring us some food, and bring another jar of wine, and our master and apprentice will have a good life."
Meng Yi took the order, and it was not long before he brought food and a jar of wine on a tray and placed them on the square table, and then turned back and went out to cover the door.
Yunhe Zhenren got up from the bed and came to the square table to sit down, and the master and apprentice sat down according to the table.
Lu Caiting hurriedly got up and picked up the wine jar across the table to pour a full cup of wine for the master and himself, then put down the wine jar, picked up the wine glass and respectfully saluted the master; "Master, the disciple respects you, the disciple is young and ignorant, sometimes ignorant and stubborn, I hope you don't take the old man to heart."
"Hmm-" The real man looked happy and took a drink from his glass.
Lu Caiting also finished drinking the wine in the cup, and poured the wine for the master and himself again, he was about to raise the wine glass to salute the master again, but the real person had already raised the wine glass to say to him; "This glass of wine is regarded as the teacher's respect for you, the teacher is not a stubborn person, but I am worried about you everywhere, you are the most valued by the teacher among the disciples, and you have been to the university hall, you have knowledge, the teacher believes in you, and supports you, after drinking this glass of wine, from now on you let go of your hands and feet, and boldly do according to your ideas and wishes!"
Lu Caiting was greatly moved, and hurriedly picked up the cup and drank it dry, although everything was expected, he was still grateful for the master's trust and support.
Yunhe Zhenren also drank the wine in the cup, stretched out his hand and waved to signal the disciple to sit down, and only after Lu Caiting sat down did he say casually; "Eat some food first, let's talk while drinking."
The master and apprentice ate for a while, and Yunhe Zhencai poured wine into his cup again, took a sip and ordered; "Let's not be polite, just drink at will."
Lu Caiting knew that the master was in a very good mood at this time, so he also filled his cup with wine and took a sip casually.
Yunhe Zhenren slowly put down the wine glass, and then said; "I have traveled all over the world for the division and have seen many high-level figures of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and under the teaching, the high-level figures of the Communist Party have no shelf, are kind and kind, and approachable, so they are deeply supported by their subordinates and the people, let's just say that Commander Xiao of the New Fourth Army, who is active in the foothills of the Mengmeng Mountains and on both sides of the Yuma River, has seen him for the division and healed his wounds, he used to be just a shopkeeper, but now he is a generation of powerful anti-Japanese generals, and he is really a hero of the times......" Speaking of this, he took another sip of his wine glass and continued; It's just that the teacher doesn't understand, thinking that the teacher's decades of cultivation and experience observation, from your senior brother's letter, the words and words all reveal the afterglow of madness and ferocity against the Japanese army, he has fought fiercely with the Japanese army several times, and it is not easy! Not only him, but also in the current Mongolian area, all the people are talking about the Japanese invaders, and you, Ting'er, just said not only incisive and thorough, but also calmly and passionately, touching and heartfelt, the words are full of the power of courage and wisdom, and there is a kind of firm self-confidence, this self-confidence is by no means your natural indulgence? Only if you have a full understanding and grasp of things, you will have this kind of self-confidence, although you are not afraid of tigers when you are newborn calves, but you have not fought with the Japanese, tell the teacher, where does this self-confidence come from? β
Lu Caiting put down his chopsticks and replied calmly; "My disciple likes to come into contact with those progressives and Communist Party activists, and not long ago I read from them an article called 'On Protracted War', written by ******, a Communist leader sitting in Yan'an, northern Shaanxi, in which he analyzed the current situation and current situation in China, pointed out that the rampant Japanese aggressors were also temporary, and that it was necessary to make long-term and long-lasting preparations to resist the Japanese aggressors, and called on the people of the whole country to unite and fight hard. The Japanese aggressors are bound to exhaust their resources and bring about their own destruction in China's vast land and in the vast people's war, and the Japanese aggressors are doomed to defeat...... Although the disciple read it in a hurry, he was deeply inspired, and there were many incisive words in it, such as, 'Only by preserving oneself can we destroy the enemy, and only by preserving oneself well can we destroy the enemy more effectively'...... When a disciple has a direction, he has strength and a firm belief. β
Speaking of this, Lu Caiting unconsciously became excited, he picked up the cup and drank the rest of the wine in one gulp, and continued; "The strength of the New Fourth Army in our mountainous area is still very weak, and we cannot fight hard with the devils, we must develop to the mountainous area, expand the base area, and strengthen our strength, the mountainous area is our land, our mountain, these hundreds of miles of mountains, cliffs, ravines, vast dense forests, thorns and grass, natural barriers, that is, 100,000 male soldiers, we must introduce the devils into the mountains, so that the devils' heavy weapons cannot play a role, lose the superiority of equipment, and make them dizzy in the vast mountains, unable to move an inch, Eventually, we wiped it out. β
Rao is a real person's advanced cultivation for decades, after hearing these words, he couldn't help but shine in his eyes, his eyebrows trembled slightly, he was excited, and nodded again and again; "Shame! The cultivation of the Communist Party is the great cultivation, which penetrates the heavens and the earth, and penetrates the universe, and they practice in the cruel struggle and the purification of blood and fire, and their cultivation will be sublimated......"
Lu Caiting was in a comfortable mood, poured himself three glasses of wine in a row, and only after seeing that the real person's mood was calm, he said again; "Master, Qingyuan Temple's magic weapon 'Jade Guanyin' was forcibly snatched by Yin Ao, the captain of the Japanese military police detective team, a big traitor in Yuxun County, and was ready to be presented to the Japanese as a birthday gift, and was stolen back by the disciple and several friends last night, and it has been returned to Qingyuan Temple this morning, and the disciple also saw your old friend, Jin Yanfei, the head of the thief swallow gate, ......"
"Oh, such a thing? That guy is a person who can't see the head and the end of the dragon, Ting'er said carefully, what the hell is going on? The real person asked very interestingly, leaning his hands on the table, looking like he was listening attentively.
Lu Caiting told the story of what happened last night and this morning.
After listening to this, the real person pondered for a while, and said suddenly; "In this way, Ting'er hasn't closed her eyes since last night, so hurry up and sleep for a while, eat dinner early, and if the teacher has something to say, you should also rush back as soon as possible and do what you want."
Under the urging of the real person, Lu Caiting ate two bowls of rice indiscriminately and slept in the guest room with Hu'er, never closed his eyes all night, slept with his head covered, and fell asleep in a moment.
I don't know how long I slept, until Meng Yi woke up the two, the two woke up, rubbed their sleepy eyes, washed up, and then came to a quiet room with Meng Yi.
In the quiet room, the table of the Eight Immortals was already full of dishes, and there was a large jar of wine, Yunhe Zhenren and Xin Yang were already sitting at the table waiting, and the three of them entered the room and covered the door.
The master and apprentice sat down, the real person motioned to Xin Yang to pour the wine, Xin Yang stood up and lifted the wine jar with the real person, Lu Caiting, Hu'er The empty bowl in front of him was full of wine, put down the wine jar, and prepared to sit down.
The real man glared at him and reproached; "Why don't you pour wine from your own bowl and your senior brother's bowl?"
"This-" Xin Yang was speechless for a while, because of the precepts of the Shimen Taoist Sect, monks are generally not allowed to drink alcohol and have sex.
The real person stroked his beard with his hand and smiled lightly; "The blame teacher didn't make it clear to you, make an exception today, let go of the liver skin and drink boldly!"
Xin Yang got his life, and immediately filled Meng Yi and his empty bowl with wine, and then sat down, paying attention to the master, I don't know why the master is so happy today.
Yunhe Zhenren picked up the wine bowl, looked at a few disciples, and said with a smile; "I am very happy for the teacher today, for decades, I have been pure and have few desires, and I have devoted myself to practice, but now the Japanese are calling, and they want to destroy my race, of course the teacher will not agree to be a slave to the country, but after all, the teacher is in his twilight, and he can't go to the battlefield to kill the Japanese in person, but the disciples who have been taught by the teacher are prancing on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, and it can be regarded as a contribution to the division for the resistance against Japan, come, finish the bowl of wine!"
The master and apprentice drank the wine in the bowl happily, and Xin Yang hurriedly got up again to pour the wine for everyone.
The real person picked up the wine again, looked at a few disciples, raised his eyebrows, and said with great ambition; "Ting'er is about to join the New Fourth Army, and he should support him for the division, and now he is announcing for the division, Yi'er, Yang'er will also follow your senior brother, Yi'er, Yang'er will be vulgar tomorrow, ask your uncle to cut off your long hair for you, after Ting'er settles down in the New Fourth Army, the two of you will go later, and I will salute you for this bowl of wine for the division, you are now an anti-Japanese soldier who defends the country."
Meng Yi and Xin Yang were holding the wine bowl, and when they heard the master's decision, they were at a loss for a while, and wanted to say something, but seeing the master's solemn and solemn expression, they had to stop the words in their throats and swallow the wine together.
After Lu Caiting finished drinking, he put the bowl on the table, his heart was hot, he sighed deeply, and sighed with emotion; "The master's heart disciple has received it, the master is old, or leave these two little junior disciples to serve you, and the disciples will be more relieved on the battlefield."
The real person's eyes are shining, the essence is overflowing, and the pride is dry; "For the teacher and learn from you Communists, the officers and soldiers are the same, we are the same as the master and the apprentice, don't be paternalistic, the body of the teacher is quite tough, even if there is any discomfort, there are other senior brothers and uncles to take care of, you can rest assured." After Xin Yang poured the wine again, he picked up the wine again and thought for a while before saying; "You will kill the devil in the future, and you must have a name on the rivers and lakes, Yi'er will be called 'Light Smoke Hong', Yang'er will be called 'Storm Goose', and I will be commensurate with the name of my Taoist temple, Ting'er, or you Qinglongtang' Little Qinglong's title, from now on, the three of you are not only brothers, but also comrades-in-arms, to unite as one, life and death coexistence, bravely kill the little devils, kill your name in the Mengmeng area, let the devils be loud, the grass and trees are soldiers, it is difficult to move an inch, but also for the division to carry forward, for the division of the face also add glory, for the division of the third bowl of wine also pay tribute to you in the anti-Japanese fire, bloody prestige, great achievements, frequent good news. β
The master and apprentice raised the bowl again and drank it dry, the real person put down the bowl, looked at several disciples, looked at the satisfied sense of achievement, stroked his beard, and praised; "You bastards, you are still shy and shy, you will be a few tigers and leopards on the battlefield in the future, Yi'er, Yang'er grew up in Taoism after all, the mood is pure, the experience of the rivers and lakes is shallow, and it still needs to be sharpened, Ting'er should take care of it as a senior brother, if you talk about arranging troops and commanding, they are not as good as your senior brother, if you talk about kung fu martial arts, they will not be much weaker than you, and you have to contact the senior brother and the second senior brother more, and call him the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, everyone does not distinguish between each other, and fight the little devils together, so that the strength can grow, okay, I don't want to toast you anymore, and you don't want to toast the wine of your teacher anymore, drink and pour yourself for your teacher, and enjoy it. β
Meng Yi, Xin Yang and the two of them were even more excited, and they were very excited, although they were a little reluctant to leave the master, but they were able to kill the devil with a real knife and a straight gun with the senior brother, how to make the two of them not excited, and the two of them were even more big bowls to respect the little senior brother and Hu'er.
After a while, the four young people swallowed and sucked, and the wine was hot, dripping with pleasure, and drinking so lively.
Yunhe Zhenren turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, and saw that the red sun had fallen on the western mountain, and it was already dusk, he turned his head and spoke; "It's almost dark, let's stop here, Ting'er has to rush down the mountain."
The senior brothers really stopped, Lu Caiting and Hu'er stood up and said goodbye to the real person, and the real person nodded and said; "Okay, you guys go, when the New Fourth Army settles down, we'll send a message, and your junior brother will come later, and we won't send you anymore."
After Lu Caiting and Hu'er said goodbye to the real person and their junior brother, they strode out of the Taoist temple and walked down the mountain.
At this time, the sunset falls on the edge of the West Mountain, the sunset is bright, the color of the sunset will also dye the mountains and peaks into a piece of golden yellow and orange red, the night breeze blows slowly, the branches of the trees sway, the birds are noisy, and the scenery is picturesque and intoxicating.
Lu Caiting and Hu'er were drunk at the beginning, and they were very happy, and the two of them jumped down the mountain, and before they knew it, they were almost at the foot of the mountain.
Suddenly, a burst of gunfire rang out at the bottom of the mountain, and the birds flew up, in this silent mountain, the gunshots were particularly crisp, Lu Caiting and Hu'er quickly stopped, squatted down and raised their eyes to watch down the mountain.
In the afterglow of the sunset, on a hill beam, a woman in white was carrying a burden, desperately escaping, her left hand tightly pressed her right shoulder, a blood stain on her right shoulder, it seemed that she had been shot and wounded, she also held a pistol in her hand, from time to time turned back to shoot, not far behind her there was a young man lying behind a big rock, relying on the big stone as a cover, waving a gun to block the pursuers, blood on his thighs gushing, knowing that he could not escape, here stubbornly resisted, in order to cover the woman in white to escape.
The pursuers were seven or eight men wearing felt hats and black silk cardigans, all of them carrying shell guns, and at a glance they knew that they were members of the Japanese military police detective team, and there were already three or four corpses lying on the ground.
The tiger's eyes were sharp, and he exclaimed; "It's the silver phoenix, Sister Sifeng!"
Lu Caiting also recognized that it was the woman who shouted slogans, scattered leaflets, and promoted anti-Japanese resistance in Luxi County, Silver Phoenix, he glanced at Hu'er, and quickly pulled out the shell gun from his waist, he didn't return the gun to Ning Chenlong, Hu'er understood, and also pulled out the shell gun, and the two of them quickly ran to the mountain Liangliang left and right.
The two of them were as fast as the wind, extremely vigorous and agile, and light and silent, first-class light body lifting and longitudinal kung fu, in an instant, a row of gunshots rang out on the guard beam, and those detectives did not even figure out what was going on, they were all shot and fell to the ground.
Lu Caiting quickly came to the silver phoenix, the woman in white, inserted the shell gun back into his waist, helped the silver phoenix to sit down, lifted his coat, tore off a strip of cloth from the white shirt inside, and tightly wrapped the wound on the silver phoenix's right shoulder, and then took out a small white porcelain bottle from the pocket of his coat, shook out a small red pill and handed it to the silver phoenix; "This is the Qilin Golden Pill that retains true qi, swallow it quickly!"
The silver phoenix, the woman in white, took the pill and took it down, looked at Lu Caiting and asked; "Thank you for saving your life, I don't know which way my friend is a hero, would you like to hear Gao's name?"
This is the young man's favorite and admired woman, at this time she is so close to face to face in front of her, her face is as full as the full moon, her skin is as full as the moon, her skin is snowy, her hair is black and translucent, her eyebrows are curved, her big eyes, her long eyelashes, her black pupils, crystal clear, her eyes are turning, she is looking forward to expressiveness, this is the most beautiful eye in the world, Lu Caiting's heart is beating like a drum, her blood is boiling, she is stunned, and when she saw the other party asking, she came back to her senses and replied with an embarrassed smile; "My surname is Lu, my double name is Caiting, I am from Qinglongtang, Shuangji Town, I studied in the county high school, and I have just graduated."
Hu'er was shrewd, he ripped off the coat of the slain detective, tore the strip of cloth from the white shirt inside, and went behind the big rock to bandage the wounded young man's thigh.
The wounded young man was only in his twenties, with long hair and a slight thinness, and his face was full of piety and gratitude; "Thank you for the hero's rescue, the fast spear just now, the gun is fast and accurate, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe that there was such a magical marksmanship in the world."
Hu'er handed him a pill and said with a grin; "Don't talk too much now, it's not too late to ask after the injury heals, this is my master's unique Qilin Golden Pill, which can preserve the true qi and stop bleeding, swallow!"
The remnants of the sun gradually disappeared, the night came, the starry eyes of the woman in white flashed, like sparkling autumn waves, she seemed to have some different answers, and asked questioningly; "Lu Yingying's skill in killing the traitor just now, I'm afraid it's not something that a scholar who has just graduated can do, right?" Her skin was already white, at this time she was injured and bleeding, and her face was even more pale, she was very beautiful, beautiful and graceful, enough to make the bright sunset and cool twilight inferior, and those bright eyes also flashed with the light of kindness and wisdom, Fang Buddha can see through the other party's inner thoughts at a glance, and the other party will willingly surrender under her charm.
Lu Caiting didn't dare to look at her eyes, lowered his eyelids, lest his admiration be noticed by the other party, excitement and nervousness were intertwined, his face suddenly turned red with shyness, fortunately, it was not easy to identify under the cover of night, he replied a little shyly; "That's because I was born in a martial arts family, and I danced knives and guns since I was a child, so I have to be more agile than ordinary people, you are now injured and bleeding, don't bother to speak, I will take you to a place immediately, take out the bullets, stop the bleeding, and some things can be explained slowly in the future." After speaking, he calmed down his emotions, carefully picked up the silver phoenix, and then carried her on his back.
After Hu'er bandaged the wounds of the injured young man, he came to the corpses of the slain detectives, he took off his coat from the two corpses and spread them on the ground, and quickly packed all the guns, bullets, and magazines of all the detective team members on his coat, together with pocket watches and silver dollars, wrapped them into two packages and linked them together, and then, with one in his hand, he threw all the corpses into the deep valley under the edge of the gangliang.
After Hu'er disposed of the corpse, he hooked the package around his neck and hung it on his chest, and then carried the injured young man back to the mountain with his master.
Yunhe Zhenren saw the apprentice go and return, and then carried back the two injured people, knowing that the situation must be very urgent, it is not trivial, and he did not ask carefully, so he hurriedly ordered the injured to be sent into the secret room, and at the same time ordered the other Taoist priests to boil water on the fire, bring his medicine box, and instructed the two Taoist boys to take some realgar and lime powder to scatter some on the way from the injured, so as not to smell the blood of the injured person.
A man and a woman were lying on the beds in two secret rooms, the room was brightly lit, the real person soaked the injured with a hot towel, slowly removed the bandaged cloth strips, checked the injury, and then, opened the medicine box and took out a porcelain bottle to shake out some powder in the bowl, mixed it with water and stirred for a while, and then divided it into two bowls, instructed Meng Yi, Xin Yang to let the injured drink, and then took out fine tweezers, scalpels, scients and other medical devices to Lu Caiting; "This ecstasy is a concentrated product of sweat medicine, which plays an anesthetic role, but after all, it is not as effective as the anesthetic of Western medicine, and the dosage must be mastered, the patient who is too heavy will lose consciousness and is in danger, and the patient who is too light will be in pain, the teacher has checked the injuries of the two of them, there is no bullet on the woman's hand, the bullet passes through the skin, only in and out of the two holes, you just need to stitch her a few stitches, the man has a bullet on his thigh, and the teacher will take it out for him personally."
In addition to learning martial arts and kung fu in the master's school, Lu Caiting also learned Qi Huang medical skills, and he already has a certain foundation for some bruises and injuries, so he quickly rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands, stepped forward to the silver phoenix bed, handed a towel to the silver phoenix for her to bite, and then smiled with relief; "There was a little pain, and it passed quickly." After speaking, he picked up thin scissors to cut the sleeve of the injured arm of the silver phoenix, put a thin thread on the curved needle and began to stitch the wound.
Lu Caiting took the towel from the mouth of the silver phoenix, looked at the expression of the silver phoenix, there was a slight sweat on his face, not like a very painful look, perhaps due to the anesthetic effect of the sweat medicine, her vision was very blurry, and she looked confused, he covered the futon for her, packed up the medicine box, and quietly exited the secret room.
