Chapter Twenty-Eight: Meet the Red Swallow Again, the Mysterious Red Box
After a short time of walking, we finally arrived at our destination. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info riding on a horse, Chen Yang raised his eyes and exclaimed, what a good place!
I saw that between heaven and earth, there was a vast expanse, whether it was mountains, rivers, trees, or villages and farmlands, they were covered with thick snow. A quaint temple with gray walls and black tiles, nestled right among the snow. The sky is wide and the clouds are low, faintly, and there is a melodious bell.
Not far from the temple, a large river stretches to the northwest. On the surface of the river, a thick layer of white mist is steaming. In this cold winter snowy day, this river is not frozen, which is amazing.
This river is the main waterway of the Daimyo's house, and it can be connected to the imperial river of the Grand Canal.
A few people dismounted in front of the gate of Puzhao Temple, leaving four people to wait outside. Sun Tieshi, Chen Yang, Zhao Heqi, Ying'er and Xue'er walked to the temple gate.
"Amitabha, donors, please come in." Seeing that someone was coming, a forty-year-old monk clasped his hands together, smiled all over his face, pronounced a Buddha name, saluted with everyone, and did not report it, and directly led everyone into the door.
"Thank you, Master."
After entering the door, I first smelled a strong smell of incense, although the temple was a little dilapidated, but it was not reduced solemnity, and everyone's faces were solemn, and they all put away the color of laughter.
The Zhike monk looked at Zhao and Qi and the others, with a thick smile on his mouth, and said with his palms together: "Several donors are in their youth, their appearance is extraordinary, for so many years, the little monk has never seen such a figure as the donor, just in time for the Chinese New Year's Eve, by the great visit of the donors, the small temple is really vibrant, the little monk first gave you an early year." ”
Zhao Heqi also saluted: "The master has won the award, and on the occasion of the festival, I want to disturb the purity of the masters, and we are deeply disturbed." ”
Zhao Heqi suddenly became well-behaved, which made Chen Yang a little uncomfortable.
"Where and where, all the guests are coming, a few donors can think of the small temple, the little monk is grateful, I don't know how many donors want to incense or pray for blessings?"
Zhao Heqi smiled slightly, nodded at Ying'er, Ying'er understood, took out a piece of silver, and handed it to the monk Zhike.
Zhao Heqi said softly: "The little girl came this time, not to burn incense and pray for blessings, but just to visit the mentally handicapped elders of your temple, I don't know if the mentally handicapped elders can be in the temple?" ”
Mentally retarded? What kind of name is this, Chen Yang heard it, sneered, almost squirted, quickly covered his mouth, and hid to the side.
The monk hurriedly took the silver and said happily: "Thank you for the generosity of the donor, don't hide it from the donor, the mentally handicapped elder of this temple has passed away three years ago." ”
"It's a pity that the mentally handicapped elder has passed away!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Heqi's expression was a little gloomy, he paused, and then asked, "What relics did the mentally handicapped elder leave behind before he passed away?" ”
"Relic?" The Zhike monk thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The mentally handicapped elder is the former presiding officer of this temple, and he has lived a life of poverty and happiness, and he has no long things. ”
"Please think about it, I will come all the way to come, this matter is really very important to me."
The monk still shook his head.
"The current presiding wisdom elder of this temple is the mentally handicapped elder for the same disciple, the donor will ask about the matter, he may have some understanding, the donors come with me, and the little monk introduces you to the donors."
Hearing what the monk said, Zhao Heqi's eyes flashed with joy again, and he hurriedly said, "I'm tired of the master." With that, the group followed the monk and walked towards the depths of Puzhao Temple.
Everyone walked through several halls such as the Tianwang Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and the Tibetan Scripture Building, and finally arrived at the abbot's room of the temple. Although these halls are a little dilapidated, all the utensils in the Buddhist gate are also neat and complete, showing the prosperity of the past.
Just as everyone walked into the temple, a sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man, sneaky, got out from under Zhao Heqi's carriage. The nearby horses saw it and, frightened, neighed a few times, causing a commotion.
"Who's there?"
The four people who were waiting outside heard the noise and hurried over to check. After running over, I checked carefully, but I couldn't see a single person. On the snow near the carriage, there was a series of small footprints that led straight to the outer wall of the temple.
Seeing the footprints, Ma Zhengqing exclaimed: "Someone has entered the temple!" ”
Hurriedly said to the other three people: "You two stay here and take care of it, you come with me to protect the owner." ”
The wise monk was approaching sixty, and when Zhao and the others came, he was reading the scriptures in the house. When I heard that someone was visiting, I put down the scriptures and invited Zhao and his others to enter.
This time, Zhao Heqi only took Ying'er and Xue'er inside, leaving Sun Tieshi and Chen Yang outside.
Chen Yang was bored and wandered around at the door of the abbot's room, while Sun Tieshi stood under the eaves in a regular manner, vigilant about the surrounding situation.
About half a cup of tea later, Sun Tieshi's ears moved, and he made a silent gesture to Chen Yang. Chen Yang was inexplicable, but he still obeyed his request, stood still and listened carefully.
Soon, I heard a "whoosh", and something quickly hit Chen Yang.
Chen Yang heard it, and he also knew the general direction, and wanted to dodge, but this body was not so agile, so he quickly protected his head. With a "snap", he was hit his arm, although it was through the cotton clothes, he still felt pain. He looked down and saw that it was a pebble.
"Who doesn't want to die, dare to smash Lao Tzu!" After being hit, Chen Yang no longer cared about the purity in Buddhism, and scolded when he opened his mouth.
"Chen Yang, what's the matter with you?" Zhao Heqi's voice came from the room.
Before Chen Yang could speak, Sun Tieshi said: "Go back to the owner, come in a little thief, the owner can rest assured to talk about things, Tieshi and the others will send him away." ”
"Be careful, don't destroy the artifacts in the temple."
"Ironstone knows."
Sun Tieshi talked to Zhao and Qi, Chen Yang also came back to his senses and hurriedly ran to Sun Tieshi's side. Following the direction where the stones were flying, he glanced up, and the third red swallow of the five birds in Hebei was squatting on top of a large hall, playing with the stones in his hands, and sneering at him.
Red Swallow said coldly: "Stinky boy, we meet again." ”
Chen Yang said angrily: "Red Swallow, it turned out to be you, hum!" If you have the ability, you come down, we fight in a dignified manner, and we will hit people with stones at every turn, what kind of heroes are we? ”
"Humph! You stinky boy, I just don't want to sneak attack, so I hit you with a stone. As he spoke, Hongyanzi took out two flying knives from his waist and sneered: "Hurt my brothers like this, today, let you see the third master's ability, take your life!" ”
"Get out of the way!"
Sun Tieshi drank in a deep voice, pulled Chen Yang aside, and jumped back himself. At this moment, two flying knives quickly plunged into the ground where Chen Yang was originally standing.
Seeing the flying knife, Chen Yang broke out in a cold sweat. said loudly: "Red Swallow, can you ask if you can fight again?" I was almost killed by you, I didn't settle accounts with you, but you came to the door first. ”
Hongyanzi looked at Sun Tieshi in surprise, ignored Chen Yang, and said to Sun Tieshi, "Who are you?" Why do you want to help that stinky boy? ”
Sun Tieshi snorted coldly and said: "You are the red swallow of Hebei Five Birds, that kid is right, your face is not from him." ”
"Humph! How old are you, why should I listen to you? ”
Sun Tieshi looked at the red swallow with disdain, and said proudly: "Hehe...... the person who told your true face is me." ”
In fact, the person who said the true face of the five birds in Hebei was neither Chen Yang nor Sun Tieshi, but Zhao Jiu. Chen Yang knows this well.
Hearing Sun Tieshi's words, Chen Yang looked at him in surprise, not knowing why he took this matter on himself. Sun Tieshi smiled at Chen Yang and said in a low voice, "Be careful." After speaking, he stared at the red swallow and became on guard.
Red Swallow's eyes were red, staring at Sun Tieshi, and the words he said were like squeezing out of his teeth.
"Good! Good! Today, the third master will send you two on the road together. As soon as the words fell, he took out two more flying knives, raised his hand, and heard two sounds of "swish, swish", and two silver lights hit Sun Tieshi and Chen Yang respectively.
Chen Yang jumped hard, dodged in embarrassment, and shouted loudly: "Stinky monkey, there is a wrong, there is a debtor, he himself admits it, you still can't get along with me, what's the reason?" ”
Red Swallow ignored it and drew her throwing knife again, ready to throw it.
When Chen Yang saw it, he hurriedly ran to the side of the abbot's room, and used the wall of the abbot's room to block his body.
Sun Tieshi did not retreat but advanced, quickly rolled forward, dodged the flying knife, and took advantage of this rolling momentum to grab the two flying knives on the ground and hide to the side.
Red Swallow shouted loudly: "Stinky boy, Lao Tzu just doesn't like you, since you have met it, don't run away." As he spoke, he quickly ran around the rooftop, looking for Chen Yang's figure.
Sun Tieshi saw the opportunity, raised his hand, and threw a flying knife with a "swish", hitting the red swallow directly.
Red Swallow didn't expect Sun Tieshi to have this hand, so she was shocked, and quickly leaned back on the roof, which was able to dodge Sun Tieshi's flying knife.
At this moment, Ma Zhengqing and others also rushed over and saw this scene. Only then did he know that that person had come here one step ahead of him.
Ma Zhengqing shouted and asked, "Boss, is the owner okay?" ”
Sun Tieshi nodded at him and motioned him to be quieter, Ma Zhengqing understood, and quickly joined Sun Tieshi and told Sun Tieshi about the situation outside.
"Good! I know, he is the only thief, you guard the door of the house, protect the owner, and I will drive him away. ”
Because it was a temple, Sun Tieshi removed his weapon when he entered the door, but Ma Zhengqing was carrying a knife. Ma Zhengqing wanted to stuff the knife on his body to Sun Tieshi, but Sun Tieshi shook his head and refused, Ma Zhengqing hurriedly took another person to guard the door of the house.
Sun Tieshi took the flying knife and looked up at the roof, looking for the red swallow, but he didn't know where he was hiding.
Chen Yang hid behind the wall, his chest pounding, thinking of the scene just now, he still had palpitations. When he used to watch movies, he thought it was cool to throw knives, but when he encountered it himself, he realized the danger of this thing. What's so cool about this throwing knife? This, after throwing it out, is really damn.
Chen Yang thought so, and when he raised his head, he was immediately shocked. At some point, the red swallow left the roof of the main hall and went to the wall next to the abbot's room, and was quickly running towards him.
"Mom!" This situation made Chen Yang panic and hurriedly ran to Sun Tieshi's side.
Chen Yang scolded secretly, this body is really bad, if it was placed in the previous life, how could Lao Tzu be afraid of such a thing as Red Swallow.
Sun Tieshi heard Chen Yang's call, turned his head to look, and saw the red swallow on the wall.
Red Swallow stared at Chen Yang, holding a flying knife in his hand, ready to attack. At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of breaking the wind, and a silver light quickly flew towards him. The red swallow couldn't dodge, and was hit by the hand with the throwing knife, and with a scream, it fell off the wall.
"Brother Sun, good fight!" Sun Tieshi and the Red Swallow were more than thirty meters apart, and with a single sword, there was such power, Chen Yang shouted excitedly.
After this, the red swallow realized that it was by no means an opponent, hiding behind the wall, and never dared to show his head again. After bandaging the wound on his hand briefly, he gritted his teeth and quickly fled to the side of the river.
At this moment, the door of the abbot's room "creaked", and Zhao and his others came out. I don't know what was said inside, Zhao Heqi, his eyes were a little red, and he was still holding a red box in his hand, and a chubby old monk went out to see her off.
"The owner." Seeing Zhao Heqi, Sun Tieshi, Ma Zhengqing and others hurriedly saluted him.
Zhao Heqi wiped his eyes and asked softly, "Sun Tieshi, what happened just now?" ”
"Back to the owner's house, a thief came in the temple, and Tieshi had already sent him away."
"Alright, let's go!"
Hearing that a thief had entered the temple, the fat monk was greatly alarmed, and hurriedly said a bunch of apologies to Zhao and his others. After finishing speaking, he put his hands together and lowered his eyebrows and said: "Zhao Shizhu, the origin and extinction of the cause, the flowers bloom and the flowers, the tide rises and falls, the life and old prosperity and decline, the reincarnation of all things in the world, there is a fixed number, the donor should not be too persistent, if there is a difficulty, come to this temple to find the old monk again." ”
Zhao Heqi also folded his hands, bowed his head and saluted: "Thank you Elder Wisdom for reminding you, the little woman has taken her leave." ”
After finishing speaking, he held the box tightly in his hand and left with Sun Tieshi and the others.
The intelligent elder stopped for a long time, looked at Zhao Heqi's back, sighed, and shook his head.
