Chapter 259: Door-to-door coercion
On the morning of the ninth day of the eighth month, the three of them listened to the sound of drums outside after breakfast. Unlike what Hu Xianxian heard last night, this music is mainly the sound of brass horns.
Hu Xianxian's eyes curled slightly, looking at Cheng Haofeng, he bowed slightly, and she flew up to investigate the cause.
About two miles away from Yizhuang, there were more than 300 people walking on the village road, and they were all dressed as monks. As she had seen last night, there were twelve times on the shoulder, and the rest of the people were on foot.
Hu Xianxian thought to himself, fortunately, the grain has been harvested this season, and the miscellaneous grains grown in winter have not yet been sown in the ground, otherwise the crops in the fields on both sides of the village road would have been ruined by them.
The strangest thing in this group is the brass trumpet bearer and brass trumpeter. This trumpet is different from the brass trumpet used by coolies in the mines, and it is also different from the copper trumpet used in the army. The brass trumpet was nearly two zhang long and was carried by four monks, who took turns blowing.
Hu Xianxian glanced at the team several times, but he still couldn't see who was the main master.
After watching it for a while, she went back to the courtyard and told Cheng Haofeng what she saw. He frowned in contemplation, his index and middle fingers bent and tapped on the table with his knuckles.
After a long while, he stretched his brows and solemnly confessed: "Immortal, Fa Luo should not be in that team. When they come, don't be impulsive no matter what they do, just wait and see what happens. Senior brother, that bronze trumpet is strange, it may be a rhythm magic weapon, please pay more attention. ”
The three of them discussed some countermeasures again, and after a while, they heard someone slapping the door panel indiscriminately.
Hu Xianxian and Cheng Haofeng glanced at each other, and he waved his hand towards the door.
She nodded, opened the door with a smile on her face, and asked crisply, "What are you doing so early in the morning?" There are no dead people in Yizhuang, so let's go elsewhere to take over the work of chanting the scriptures. Look at your yellow and thin skinny face, haven't you been able to do anything for a long time, and you can't make money for starving like this? ”
The three people standing in front of the door are Fasuan, Suishun and Qiashun, two little monks. Fa Shu's black face turned red with anger, and Sui Shun puffed out his two eyes to glare at Hu Xianxian, and Cha Shun sneered slightly ashamedly.
Several people stood stiffly at the door for a moment, Fa Shu clasped his palms together, and said in a rough voice: "The poor monk Fa Shu has something to ask Cheng Hao Feng Cheng to benefactor, and ask Miss Hu to bring the poor monk to see him." ”
"Oh? He's still lying on the bed and hasn't gotten up. Wait at the door, and I'll wake him up. ”
Hu Xianxian said that he was about to close the door, and hurriedly held the door with both hands to prevent her from closing it.
A few people argued a few more words, and a little monk squeezed out of the team and scolded: "What are you grinding with this stinky girl?" Break the door directly and let Cheng Haofeng hand over the Buddha treasure! ”
Hu Xianxian stood on the threshold with his hands on his hips, raised his eyebrows, and scolded loudly: "Where did you get out of the thief bald donkey?" Mouth ate feces, right? This girl is kind and talks to the masters of Zenfukuji Temple, and you come out and shout a fart! ”
The little monk's face turned red and turned white, white and red, and he pointed at Hu Xianxian and "hummed" twice and then ran towards the first shoulder in the team.
After he complained to the man sitting on his shoulder, a proud voice came from above his shoulder. The person on this first shoulder should be the apprentice of Fa Luo who first came to Shanfu Temple last night, his voice is arrogant, and he wants to hold a solemn monk's demeanor, which sounds yin and yang.
"If the stupid world scolds my Buddha disciple, if my Buddha disciple scolds back, won't he also become a stupid world? Don't talk to the demon girl, break down the door and escort the thief to the emperor, the emperor has his own magic method to let him return the Buddha treasure. ”
Hu Xianxian seemed to be impatient to listen, leaning on the door frame and closing his eyes. After he finished speaking, those people were about to break down the door, and Hu Xianxian hurriedly summoned the Huixin Jade Sword in his hand.
"Who dares to take a step forward, my aunt and grandmother told him to splash blood on the spot!"
They all retreated slightly, and Hu Xianxian's eyes stared sharply at the shoulders covered by the yellow veil.
"The bald donkey who hides his head and shrinks his tail and doesn't dare to see people listens to his aunt and grandmother: You call me a 'demon girl' and Cheng Haofeng 'thief', what are you?"
The monks all picked up their weapons and started fighting, but after Hu Xianxian shook the Huixin jade sword twice, he put away the sword, pulled the arm of the Fasuan and begged aggrievedly: "Master Fasuan, how can you people in the Buddhist sect beat and scold me as a weak woman?" You've got to be fair. ”
The autumn morning sun is red and the earth is rising from the mountains, and the sun has faded from the heat of the summer, but it can be regarded as very hot. He was so hot that his face turned red into pig liver, and the arm that was pulled by Hu Xianxian stiffened and did not dare to move, and the other arm waved vigorously towards the monks.
Seeing that all the monks had no killing intent, they were all withdrawing their weapons, and he shouted angrily: "This seat and all the senior brothers are here to arrest the thief, and you are not allowed to listen to the demon girl's nonsense!" ”
Hu Xianxian let go of the Fasuan, stood on the threshold with his waist crossed, pointed in the direction of the yellow gauze shoulder, and said loudly: "If you want to pretend to be a high-ranking monk, pretend to be a little bit!" Don't you know that 'you will be punished for speaking evil'? You believe in Buddhism, according to the rules of Buddhism, if you say that others are 'thieves' and 'demon girls', you yourself have to become 'thieves' and 'demon girls'! ”
Those people listened to Hu Xianxian crackling in a daze, not that they were so timid that they were frightened as soon as they were scolded, but that she made a sound with spiritual power, and they were a little confused for a while.
Hu Xianxian's recent calculations, Suishun, and Qia Shun were not affected, and a smile could be seen on the corners of Qiashun's tightly pursed lips.
It's not that their skills are exceptionally high and unaffected, it's that Hu Xianxian deliberately avoided them - after all, Cheng Haofeng and Qin Mufeng did steal the Buddha treasure of Shanfu Temple, and she can play scoundrels for Fa Luo and others who want to take advantage of people's danger, and she still thinks she is ashamed of the monks of Shanfu Temple and dare not hurt them.
Hu Xianxian guessed that Qia Shun's smiling mentality should be that Fa Liu's disciples treated the monks of Shanfu Temple so rudely last night, and at this moment they were scolded by Qia Shun and felt happy in their hearts.
Even though the monks of Shanfu Temple are well-cultivated, they are human beings after all, and they are said to be ineffective in protecting the Buddha's treasures, and they are repeatedly despised, so it is inevitable that they will feel unfair.
The people on the yellow gauze shoulder have to quarrel with Hu Xianxian again, and the orange gauze tent has come closer, and the person on the shoulder has spoken a lot more calmly.
"Twelfth junior brother, don't say more. This female benefactor, please don't be impatient, we just don't know about the Buddha treasure, and we want to question Cheng Haofeng. ”
Hu Xianxian's mouth was dry, she licked her lips, and secretly sighed that this Fa Luo disciple was more difficult to deal with. She jumped on the threshold with her left foot up, and then on her right foot, but did not answer.
They didn't know what she was jumping on, she was actually asking Cheng Haofeng what to do. Moments later, a cough sounded in the courtyard.
After hearing this, Hu Xianxian stood on the threshold and said solemnly: "You have heard it clearly, you want to check whether the real Buddha treasure is still enshrined in Shanfu Temple, and we also want to prove our innocence, you can question Cheng Haofeng." ”
A voice came from the orange veil: "Then ask the female donor to open the door, and don't stop it again." ”
Hu Xianxian stretched out his hands, pressed against the door frame, and said coldly: "Yes, you can question." But now he is sick and weak, and he is afraid of the noise, so you can only send three men into the hospital to inquire about him. ”
The Fa Luo disciple in the yellow veil shouted loudly: "Who knows what trap you have set up in this den of thieves? Senior Brother Eleven, don't talk nonsense with this demon girl anymore, the emperor has an edict, be sure to arrest Cheng Haofeng in front of him for interrogation. Quick, break down the door and take people! ”
"Arrested? Interrogate? You actually buttoned your hat to Cheng Haofeng? When it comes to Pharaoh, how will you give him a chance to plead his case? ”
Hu Xianxian's hand was still on the door frame, in fact, he was secretly preparing to fight, but the opponent was too numerous, so it was best not to take the initiative.
