Chapter 24 Lin'an
After killing the old monk, no one stopped Wang Ji's way, and Wang Ji no longer embarrassed the ordinary monks in the temple who didn't know martial arts, so he went straight down the mountain.
Sitting in the teahouse in Taoyuan County, Wang Wei thought about his next move.
At this time, Wang Wei has completed two of the 8 tasks, "Task 6" and "Task 8". Because Liu Chuxuan was accidentally killed by Ouyang Feng, which led to the failure of "Mission 2", Wang Ji still has 5 tasks that can still be completed.
And since Wang Ji only needs to complete a total of 5 of the 8 tasks this time, he can complete 3 more tasks next. In other words, among the five people Guo Jing, Huang Yaoshi, Zhou Botong, Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng, he just needs to kill three more people.
Wang Wei calculated the time, and at this time, Guo Jing, Huang Yaoshi, Zhou Botong, Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng should have all returned to the Central Plains from Peach Blossom Island, and due to various reasons, after they returned to the Central Plains, they did not rush to other places, but gathered in Lin'an.
Since the mission goals are all in Lin'an, Wang Ji's next destination naturally doesn't need to be thought about.
Wang Wei's current location is in Taoyuan County, Xiangxi, and Lin'an Mansion is located on a two-fold road, and the fastest way from Taoyuan to Lin'an is to take the Yangtze River waterway. So, after a short rest, Wang Wei hired a boat and traveled east along the Yuan River.
The Yuan River, also known as the Yuan River, is the second largest river in Hunan Province and belongs to the Dongting Lake water system. Its source is the Cloak Mountain in Duyun County, Guizhou (now Duyun City, Guizhou), flows through the southeast of Guizhou, the central and western parts of Guizhou, and flows out of Guizhou to Chengzhou (now Tianzhu County, Guizhou Province) and into Luyang County, Hunan (now Zhijiang County, Hunan Province), and into Dongting Lake in Longyang County (now Hanshou County, Changde City, Hunan Province).
After Wang Wei arrived in Longyang County by boat, he changed to another big boat and went northeast along Dongting Lake to Yueyang and entered the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River flows from Yueyang to Hankou to the northeast. After arriving at Hankou, it turns to the southeast until Jiujiang, and then turns northeast into Anhui and Suzhou.
Wang Wei got off the boat in Zhenjiang, went all the way south, crossed Taihu Lake, and entered the boundary of Lin'an.
Lin'an in the Southern Song Dynasty, that is, Hangzhou in later generations. Hangzhou was already a prosperous place in the world during the Northern Song Dynasty, its economy was prosperous, and the textile, printing, winemaking, and paper industries were relatively developed, and it was one of the four major commercial ports in the world at that time. After the change of Jingkang, the Song dynasty moved south, and Shaoxing was set to be here for eight years, and it was renamed Lin'an.
After the Southern Song Dynasty set the line in Lin'an, it made great efforts to build it. After 20 years, Lin'an characters have diverged, and the mountains and rivers have increased, and it has become a prosperous city in the world second only to Jin Daxingfu, especially Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty.
Wang Wei remembered that after Guo Jing and the others returned from Peach Blossom Island, because Hong Qigong was greedy for the "five treasures of mandarin ducks" in the palace's imperial kitchen, Guo Jing and Huang Rong escorted him into the palace with Zhou Botong (Note 1). And Ouyang Feng also entered the palace with Wanyan Honglie and others in order to snatch the "Wu Mu's Testament" hidden in the Southern Song Dynasty Palace.
(Note 1: Hong Qigong lost all his skills at this time because he was caught by Ouyang Feng's plot at sea, and Guo Jing and the others were afraid that he would have an accident, so they always guarded him.) )
Since Guo Jing, Hong Qigong, Zhou Botong, and Ouyang Feng all went to the Southern Song Dynasty Palace, Wang Ji naturally had to go there.
Although Guo Jing, Zhou Botong, and Ouyang Feng only stayed in the palace for one night, and they might not be able to meet them when they went, Hong Qigong stayed in the palace for a long time because of his greed. Hong Qigong's skills were exhausted at this time, and it was a suitable target to start. Even if he may still be accompanied by an "old naughty boy" Zhou Botong, after he killed Nandi, Zhou Botong is no longer his opponent. He's here, but he's just sending himself an extra dish.
Wang Jijing came to the main gate of the imperial city, in front of the main gate of Li, but saw the golden nail Zhu Hu, painted the carved railing, the roof was covered with copper tiles, engraved with the shape of the dragon and phoenix, majestic and magnificent, and the brilliance was dazzling. In front of the city gate, a group of well-dressed and burly soldiers stood vigilantly watching the passers-by outside the city gate.
At this time, it may be because Wang Ji has been standing in front of the imperial city for a long time, which has attracted the attention of the forbidden army defending the city. There were four people armed with axes, and they came up to arrest them with great momentum.
Seeing that the imperial city was heavily guarded, and that he was not here to kill the emperor, he couldn't break in, so he turned around and walked to the side, planning to find an inn to live in first, and then enter the palace at night.
When the four forbidden soldiers saw Wang Ji walking away quickly, they just said that he was an ignorant villager, and they didn't chase after him, and laughed.
Wang Wei came to Ruixiang Juzhong, the first big inn in the east of Yujie, and asked for an upper room, so he rested in the house, recuperated and waited for the evening action.
At the second watch of the night, Wang Jian opened his eyes, rushed out of the house through the window, and went up to the house.
The palace is higher than the dwellings, the roof tiles are brilliant, very easy to identify, and after a while, Wang Ji has quietly jumped into the palace wall. The guards with knives in the palace patrol strictly, but Wang Ji's light kung fu is so good, how can he let the guards find out?
The main purpose of Wang Ji's visit to the palace tonight was not to kill people, but to find out the topography of the palace. Wang Ji, who shot the killer, knows the importance of understanding the surrounding environment before completing the mission. Take the current situation as an example, Wang Ji wants to go to the palace kitchen to kill Hong Qigong, but Wang Ji doesn't even know where the imperial kitchen is now. In this case, how can he be allowed to kill?
Wang Jian quietly probed the terrain in the palace. Suddenly, he heard a noise in the distance, and a faint guard shouted, "Take the assassin!" Take the Assassins! ”
Wang Ji's heart moved, and he avoided the guards who were galloping around, and touched the noise. Bypassing a few palaces, I suddenly felt the cool breeze blowing on my body, faintly heard the sound of water, and sent a burst of fragrance in the quiet night.
Wang Ji continued to walk forward, gradually the sound of the water became more and more noisy, bypassing a flower path, only to see Qiao pine and bamboo, verdant and covering the sky, the mountains and mountains were strange, and the silence lingered deeply. After walking a few more zhang, I saw a silver waterfall in front of me pouring down from the side of the mountain and pouring into a large pond. The waterfall kept falling, but the pond was not overflowing, and it was thought that there was another drainage channel under the pond. There are countless red lotuses in the pond, and in front of the pond is a forest forest hall, and the three words "Cui Han Hall" are written on the forehead.
At this time, two men and a woman were fighting each other on the roof of the green cold hall, and a group of officials and guards surrounded the house, holding lanterns and torches, illuminating the surroundings as straight as day.
Wang Yi hurriedly hid behind the flowers on the side of the road, and quietly looked over. But I saw that the two men and women who were fighting each other were all familiar with each other. The two men are Liang Ziweng, the "old monster of the ginseng immortal", and Peng Lianhu, the "thousand-handed slaughter", but the woman is Huang Rong.
"Since Huang Rong is here, then Guo Jing is also nearby."
Wang Wei thought so, looked around, and looked for Guo Jing's figure.
After looking around, Guo Jing didn't find it, but saw three other familiar figures in front of the waterfall, but they were the two brothers of the "Ghost Gate Dragon King" Sha Tongtian and the "Three-headed Jiao" Hou Tonghai, as well as Wanyan Honglie, the king of Zhao of the Jin Kingdom. Beside the three of them was a Tibetan monk wearing a big red robe and a golden monk's hat. The Tibetan monk was extremely burly, standing a head and a half taller than the people around him.
Although Wang Wei had never seen such a Tibetan monk before, seeing him get together with Wanyan Honglie and others, combined with the content of the book, it was easy to guess his identity, he was a master Lingzhi Master from Tibetan Tantra.
For everything that happened in front of him, Wang Ji can be said to know very well, and he knows that the disputes in front of him are all caused by a Wu Mu suicide note.
But after saying that, Yan Honglie is also a masterpiece of a generation, and his life has always been to defeat the Southern Song Dynasty and let the Dajin Kingdom dominate the world as his own responsibility. However, after the defeat of Wushu to Yue Fei, the national strength of the Jin State was greatly damaged, and it was almost impossible to defeat the Southern Song Dynasty.
Wanyan Honglie was not willing to do this, meditated hard, searched east and west, and wanted to find a way to defeat the Southern Song Dynasty. The emperor lived up to his wishes, and by chance, he discovered the traces of Yue Fei's key to the art of war left before his death.
After Yan Honglie got this secret, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly gathered masters on the rivers and lakes, wanting to go to the Southern Song Dynasty but stealing the military book.
But at this moment, Yang Tiexin was looking for a wife and committed suicide with pity.
After Bao Xi's weak death, Wanyan Honglie was saddened, and he couldn't care about the things around him for a while, and the search for Wu Mu's suicide note was delayed. But he deserves to be the hero of a generation, and he quickly regained his strength.
At that time, the Mongols rose up and began to cut gold. At this time, the Jin State has been peaceful for a long time, the soldiers are corrupt, and the officials are degenerate, and it is no longer the Jin State when it was first founded. and the Mongols fought with each other, and they collapsed at the first touch, and even the capital Daxing Mansion was lost. The civil and military capitals of the Manchu Dynasty fled with the emperor to Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty.
Seeing that the Jin Kingdom had been defeated repeatedly, and the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species were just around the corner, Wan Yan Honglie couldn't help but be anxious. At this time, he remembered Wu Mu's suicide note, and wanted to use the art of war in the book to save the decline of the Jin Kingdom.
So he came to Lin'an with a group of masters recruited from the rivers and lakes, wanting to take Wu Mu's suicide note and help the Jin State defeat Mongolia.
He's here tonight to pick up the book. Unexpectedly, Guo Jing and Huang Rong also came to the palace tonight, and found out that they were taking the book, causing such a big turmoil.
But after seeing Yan Honglie, he looked at the palace guards who were gathering more and more around him, and he was very anxious. Seeing that things were going to get worse, he couldn't help but rub his hands again and again, and kept shouting, "Hurry, hurry." ”
Seeing this, the Venerable Master of Wisdom beside him said, "Don't panic, the little monk will go in again." As he spoke, he shook his left palm in front of him, and a vertical scurry had already entered the curtain of the waterfall.
Seeing this scene, Wang Wei's heart moved slightly: "It seems that Guo Jing is behind the waterfall." ”
As soon as he turned his mind, he saw the Venerable Master fall out of the waterfall like a cloud, and suddenly there was a few loud sounds, crushing a large piece of the flower pot in front of the Cui Han Hall.
