Chapter 32 (1) Banze Wooden Armor
1
Zhang Xiaoliu and the little wit followed the dung pick-up boy out of the small building, through the main hall, along the Yong Road to the outside of the Taoist temple, out of the mountain gate, everyone was a little emotional, although entering the Taoist temple, only less than half a day's work, but encountered a rare risk in the world, like a ghost gate walked once, especially Zhang Xiaoliu and the little wit, they have never seen such a complex mechanism ambush in their lives, and there are such a cracking master like the dung pick-up boy, in this secret small building, it is like a dream, Zhang Xiaoliu looked at the few ancient trees in the empty field outside the mountain gate, shook his head and said: "This Taoist temple, the octagonal small building, must have been built for more than 100 years, and it must not have been done by Taoist priest Wang." ”
"That is, it has only been a few years since Daoist Wang entered this Taoist temple." The boy said.
At this time, the black spider trotted to the outside of the mountain gate, and Rory pulled the dung picker in a wordy manner and said, "Brother, have you thought about it?" Remember to find me at No. 18 Longmen Hutong in Changsha City, brother, promotion and fortune are just around the corner. ”
The man who picked up dung smiled and didn't answer. Zhang Xiaoliu turned his head and said, "Don't worry, I'll send him there personally." Messengers who make a lot of money, who don't want to do it. No. 18 Longmen Hutong, I remember. ”
The three of them walked down the mountain, far away from the Taoist temple, and the young man asked the little wit, "Why did you ask me to promise them?" I don't want to go to work for the government, and I can see that the two of you are not all the way with them, but probably the opposite. You persuaded me to promise them that there must be some other plan, right? ”
The little wit said, "I was just about to discuss it with you." Your uncle......"
"He is not my uncle, my master and he have long been cut off, and I am even more enemies with him."
"Okay, that Wang Daoist, it's not a good thing."
"That's right," the young man interrupted the little wit, "he was originally a bandit, he occupied the Taoist temple, and I will kill him sooner or later." ”
"That's right." The little wit followed the young man's words and said: "This kind of person has taken refuge in the Overseer's Mansion, and he will definitely do more things to harm people, how many people will be harmed, I think...... Hey. I thought, if you can help us, pretend to promise him, touch their pulse, this. Hey hey ......"
The dung-picking boy stopped and winked at the little ghost, "From the moment you quietly took my hand, I knew you had this idea." ”
"I know you'll promise me."
"Haha," the two teenagers laughed out loud, these two were the same age, and from the moment they met, there was a natural sense of closeness, and the battle just now deepened the friendship. They were very happy with each other, and after a while, they hooked their shoulders and said nothing.
"I have to go and discuss with Master," the young man said, pulling the little wit, "You are against the government, I am willing to make friends with you, and when I am done, I will go to you." I mean what I say. ”
On the road, the carriage ran over, and the middle-aged man who drove the carriage raised his whip. "Get in the car."
The three of them climbed into the car, and the little clever and curious lifted the covered straw curtain to watch the "borrowed car" in the wicker basket. I saw that this "borrowed car" was made of hardwood, and there were iron axles, wheels, and ropes on the body, which were very complicated, and there were several wooden rods and iron rods next to them. The boy explained: "When you use it, you have to assemble it, use the long arm to throw up the charcoal fire and projectiles, you can throw it to seven or eight zhang high, dozens of zhang away, when attacking the city in ancient times, the stone throwing machine used is its prototype, and now we have a strong iron wheel and rubber, the effect is naturally much stronger than in ancient times, and after the completion of the proportion, it is easy to transport, and a carriage can be loaded." ”
The little clever man watched it for a long time, but he didn't understand the mystery of the principle of "borrowing a car", and the young man smiled: "I studied for three years, and I only learned a little bit of fur, how can you understand it when you look at it like this, and I will teach you slowly in the future." ”
The carriage galloped all the way, several people chatted in the car, quite not lonely, and ran for dozens of miles, and when they reached the fork in the road, they were about to break up, and the little ghost and the boy who picked up dung were a little reluctant, and the boy repeatedly said to the little wit: "When I finish my work, I must go to you." ”
On the other side of the road, another carriage came, pulling a cart of hay and willow branches, and a girl sitting on the carriage raised her hand to greet this side, "Hey, is it a little clever over there?" ”
When I looked up, the girl was Dafeng, and the man who drove the car was Zhao Laoer, and the little clever shouted: "It's me." Sister Feng, what are you going to do? ”
The two carriages quickly met, Dafeng jumped out of the carriage, and was about to answer the little clever words, but suddenly looked at the dung picker on the car and was stunned, his eyes stared straight for a while, and his breath became short, and the dung picker in the carriage also stared at Dafeng, showing a look of surprise.
Zhang Xiaoliu next to him saw the clue, looked at Dafeng, and then looked at the young man, and saw that the two of them looked lost and depressed, and quietly stabbed the little wit, "There's something going on here." ”
"Da Long," Da Feng shouted, stepped over, and grabbed the young man's arm tightly, "Are you Da Long, is your surname Cui?" The mole in your left eyebrow can't be wrong, Dalong, it's you. Her eyes widened like brass bells, and her voice trembled, and she grabbed the boy's arms and hands, and trembled incessantly.
"Sister-" The young man also grabbed Dafeng, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Wow, haha, woo, you're a big dragon, you're really a big dragon," Dafeng cried and laughed in ecstasy, dragged the boy off the car, and picked up a circle, "Dalong, I finally found you, my brother, woo-"
The people next to him were also stunned, the little ghost had heard that Dafeng had a lost brother, but he didn't expect it to be this dung picker, he looked at Dafeng next to him like crazy and cried and laughed, opening his mouth wide and smirking. Zhang Xiaoliu, Zhao Lao Er and others couldn't help but sigh when they watched the scene of the sister and brother recognizing each other. Zhao Lao Er smoked a pot of dry tobacco, I don't know if he was choked by the smoke or infected by the cry of the Dafeng sister and brother, and reached out to wipe the tears welling up in his eyes.
Dafeng wiped his tears, looked at his younger brother Dalong carefully, and didn't seem to see enough, the little clever walked over, "Sister Feng, you don't know, how capable your brother is now, he carried a dung fork, so he picked the bandit's nest water to watch, and beat the Demon King of Variety to lose his armor and ......"
"Forget it," Dalong interrupted the little clever tongue twister, "Sister, where do you live now?" What are you doing? ”
"I'll live here," Dafeng said quickly, "Dalong, where do you want to go?" Where do you live now? By the way, don't go anywhere, you will follow me in the future, don't go. ”
"Okay." Dalong turned his head again and said to the middle-aged man who was driving the car, "Uncle Wang." Let's not go, let's go to my sister's. ”
The old man smiled honestly, "Silly boy, you stay." But I have to go back quickly, and besides, I have to tell your master to save him from worrying. ”
After discussing it, everyone decided to move the "borrowed car" to Zhao Laoer's car. Transported back to the brick and tile factory, Dafeng looked left and right at this strange "borrowed car" and couldn't figure it out. The little clever said proudly: "You don't know this, this is called borrowing a car, just like a cannon, shooting fire, can blow up buildings, blow up mountains, comparable to ...... The thunder in the palm of the thunder god is simply too powerful. "He hadn't actually seen a car launch at all. It's only because of curiosity and worship that they add oil and vinegar and talk about it.
"Very well, we will be useful in the future."
"Sister, are you all together?"
"Yes. There are still a lot of people in us, it's very lively, and if you come, you will be reluctant to leave. ”
Everyone got into Zhao Laoer's car, broke up with Lao Wang, and laughed all the way in the carriage. Turn around and run towards the brickyard.

Dafeng asked impatiently, "Dalong, where have you been all these years?" I went to Manjiazhuang to look for you, but I didn't find it. I heard that you went missing in the battle with Liu Mazi. ”
"I was caught by Liu Mazi," Dalong said while recalling the situation back then: "I fainted that time, and when I woke up, it was already night, and my hands were tied." Lying in a bush, I heard two people arguing in my ears, one of them was Liu Mazi's voice, he said: "You don't care about my affairs, in the past few years, the master has always been partial to you, I am like a stepmother, now that you and I have parted ways, the well water will not interfere with the river water in the future, you still want to suppress me, hum, don't think, I tell you, you talk to me again, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people." The other voice sounded quite old, like an old man, and spoke with anger, "You deceived the master and destroyed the ancestors, when did you take the master as the master?" Master's death, don't think that it has been done seamlessly, the sky net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, the past, let's not talk about it, now you have gathered ruffians, robbed houses, and become bandits, I know that I can't persuade you, but I just see that you hurt the heavens and reason, but I can't ignore it, you must let me go of this child kidnapped today. The kidnapped child they were talking about, it seems, is me. And these two people are brothers when they hear the weather, but they are already enemies. ”
Xiao Clever interjected: "Hey, let me ask, is the Wang Taoist priest we met today Liu Mazi?" ”
"That's right, you deserve to be called a little clever," Da Long said: "Liu Mazi is the king Taoist." That night, Liu Mazi and his senior brother quarreled, but never let me go, later, I was blindfolded by a few bandits, and took all the way forward, from the twists and turns of the road, it was clear that I was going up the mountain, and finally entered a house, that is the view of water clouds. ”
"Shuiyunguan is Liu Mazi's old nest?"
"No," Dalong shook his head, "Shuiyun Temple was originally a Taoist temple practiced by my master and ancestor, my master and my ancestor are both Taoist priests in the temple, and their masters and apprentices have studied the techniques of building mechanisms handed down from ancient times, and there are also many institutions in those halls and buildings in the temple, which are all handed down by the previous generations." ”
The little ghost remembered the octagonal building, "That's right, that building is amazing, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to get out." ”
Dalong continued: "Liu Mazi used deception to mix into the view, worshiped my master as a teacher, but he was treacherous, insidious and murderous, and soon exposed his true nature, my master wanted to expel him from the view, but one morning, the master suddenly passed away, covered in iron, obviously poisoned and died, of course the master suspected that Liu Mazi did it, but because there was no evidence, he quarreled with him, and there was no result, I was afraid that he would continue to be framed, so I had to leave the view. Since then, Shuiyunguan has been occupied by Liu Mazi, and the heirloom book "Ban Ce Wooden Armor" in the hands of the ancestor is estimated to have reached Liu Mazi's hands. From then on, my master and he became enemies. Of course, these are all things that I heard from my master later. ”
"Then, how did you get out of danger when you caught Liu Mazi?" Dafeng asked.
"That day, I was escorted into the temple, and along the way, I heard a few bandits talking: 'This little child, I'm afraid he can't get the ransom, he is not a young master, just a subordinate, who is willing to pay the ransom in the main family?' I'm afraid it's in vain. I realized that they wanted to blackmail the master of the main family, Master Man, who was a warm-hearted person, and if Liu Mazi went to blackmail, he would definitely pay the ransom. ”
"Well, I've met Master Man, and he is indeed a good person." Dafeng nodded.
"That day, I was escorted into that small building, into a small dark room, no windows, I thought, I must find a way to escape, can not make trouble for the old man, so I pretended to be afraid, crying and wiping tears, let them relax their vigilance, I quietly took advantage of the bandits not paying attention, grinding the wall, grinding ropes, both arms are also grinding blood, but I gritted my teeth and persisted, after breaking free from the rope, I went to push the door, but I couldn't push it open, at that time I used my hands, little by little to pick the wood on the door, trying to break the door, I opened the door and cut out the blood on my fingers......"
"You can do it." The little ghost exclaimed. Everyone imagined that a few years ago, Dalong was just a child, but it was not easy to do such a stoic and strong thing in the enemy's den.
"I was in a hurry when suddenly the door opened, and a gray-haired middle-aged man stood in front of me and said to me urgently, 'Son, come with me.' He took me by the hand and ran out. Listening to this person's voice, it was the person who quarreled with Liu Mazi, I knew that the savior was coming, so I was full of joy and ran forward with him, that building, you have also seen the little wit, it is very complicated, if he didn't come to save me, in fact, I would have broken the door and couldn't escape. ”
"Well, it's a labyrinth in there." The little clever nodded, and at this time everyone already knew that the person who saved Dalong was Dalong's future master. Zhang Xiaoliu asked, "Your master saved you, didn't that Liu Mazi find out?" ”
"When we fled, the corridor twisted and turned, and I didn't see a person, I also felt strange, and then I heard a shout in the front yard, and someone shouted, 'put out the fire', it turned out that my master first set a fire to lead away the vigilant bandits, and then broke down the door and rescued me. Fortunately, my master had insight into the structure of the building, opened the secret door, and dragged the rope down the cliff to the bottom of the cliff along the back of the building, so that he escaped from the Shuiyun Temple.
