Chapter 50: Meeting a Master at Night
Yanagida once said that Fujisaki was likely to be in Changchun and Harbin, so Zuo Dengfeng decided to go to the northeast to look for it.
Zuo Dengfeng didn't take the train, because he couldn't handle it by train thirteen. He did not go to the coastal areas to take a boat, he felt that it was not safe to take a boat, so he chose the safest way, a horse-drawn carriage.
The carriage was hired, because the journey was too far, the coachman asked Zuo Dengfeng to give money first, Zuo Dengfeng agreed, took out a gold bar and gave it to the coachman, and promised to pay all the expenses for his round trip, and the coachman set off on the horse.
He didn't hire a covered wagon, because that would be too ostentatious, and it was an ordinary flatbed cart with corn stalks and a few broken quilts on it.
In fact, Zuo Dengfeng walked faster than the carriage, and the reason why he hired the carriage was for Thirteen, and he was reluctant to let Thirteen go far. has been out for so long, Thirteen has been following him unabandoningly, which makes Zuo Dengfeng extremely moved, if conditions permit, Zuo Dengfeng does not want Thirteen to suffer a little grievance.
Set off at noon, settle down at night, the next morning Zuo Dengfeng drove the carriage on the road by himself, the coachman slipped in the middle of the night, Zuo Dengfeng found out that he chased out twenty miles, killed him, and drove back to the carriage.
Zuo Dengfeng drove the car blankly, and the scene of the coachman begging for mercy last night kept coming to mind, and if he didn't pay the fare in advance, he wouldn't blame him for trying to escape. But the money has been given first, and it is betrayal and deception for him to run away again, so even if the coachman cried a handful of snot and tears, Zuo Dengfeng still killed him mercilessly, betrayal is not allowed, and deception will not be tolerated.
There were many victims on the road who staggered north, and after seeing the carriage driven by Zuo Dengfeng, they asked for a ride, but Zuo Dengfeng did not agree, and he would slow down when he pulled them.
However, Zuo Dengfeng finally pulled a female beggar who was baking sweet potatoes on the side of the road, and this female beggar also reminded him of Wu Xinyu. The female beggar is a woman who was divorced by her in-laws without giving birth to children, and she went to the Northeast to find her mother's family who broke into Kanto a few years ago, and she said very little.
There are nearly 3,000 miles from Jinan City to Xinjing Changchun, and Zuo Dengfeng can only walk more than 100 miles a day with a carriage, and the horses can't stand it if they go too fast. More than 20 days later, when she arrived at the northeast border, the woman got out of the car, Zuo Dengfeng gave her a few pieces of ocean, and then drove the carriage north again.
After arriving in the Northeast, Zuo Dengfeng found that the people of the Northeast were better than the people in Jinan and other places, because there were many mountains here, and there were still many uncultivated land, and the victims who fled from the south could basically find something to eat from here, the land here was very fertile, suitable for farming, there were many small ponds in the large reed fields, there were many shallow fish, and there were many wild beasts in the mountains, which were easy to catch. The biggest drawback is that it's cold here, and it's hard for people coming from the south to get used to it.
Night came again, Zuo Dengfeng unloaded the horse, let the horse out to graze, and then found dry branches and reeds to light a bonfire to keep warm, Thirteen went out to hunt as usual, this is a reed field not far from the trail, last year's reeds have dried up but not lodging, there are many birds in it.
It didn't take long for Thirteen to return, with a bulging belly and a water duck in his mouth. Zuo Dengfeng knew that this was brought to him by Thirteen, and there were no people for hundreds of miles before and after this path, and there was no place to buy food.
Wash and peel the water ducks and barbecue them on the fire, at the same time, Zuo Dengfeng was thinking in his mind how to start looking for it after arriving in Changchun, and he would be able to reach Changchun in seven or eight days, and he wanted to plan in advance.
Because he thought about it, Zuo Dengfeng didn't pay attention to the duck on the fire, and didn't take the duck off the fire until there was a mushy smell. ”
This sound of Amitabha Buddha appeared without warning, Zuo Dengfeng was shocked when he heard this, hurriedly turned to look sideways, and found that five steps away stood an old man with a round face and big ears, the old man was about fifty years old, his hair was quite short, his beard was quite long, he was wearing a gray monk's robe, his stomach was not small, he was barefoot, and he was holding a small wooden box in his right hand.
"What do you want to do?" Zuo Dengfeng frowned and spoke, this old thing appeared quietly like a ghost, startling him, which made Zuo Dengfeng very unhappy.
"Amitabha, donor, give alms." The old man raised his left hand and shook it a few times.
"You're a monk?" Zuo Dengfeng looked at this old man again, although this old guy was wearing a monk's robe, but he had a fat head and big ears, and his hair was also long, so he didn't look like a monk.
"Yes." When the old man spoke, his eyes kept staring at the roasted water duck in Zuo Dengfeng's hand.
"How can a monk eat meat? I won't give alms if I pretend to be a monk, so let's go. Zuo Dengfeng waved his hand.
"I'm really a monk, donor, be merciful, I haven't eaten for more than ten days." The old man begged with a grimace.
"Why don't you say you haven't eaten for a hundred days, get out of here." Zuo Dengfeng stood up and gave the old man a kick, the old thing is talking nonsense, he hasn't eaten for more than ten days, and people will starve to death if they don't eat for seven days.
"Good boy, I didn't expect you to be still a member of the Daomen, so it's easy to say, do you know who I am?" The old man was not annoyed when he was kicked by Zuo Dengfeng, but pretended to be arrogant.
Zuo Dengfeng was stunned when he heard this, he didn't use aura with that kick just now, how did the old man know that he was from the Daomen? In addition, since he had cultivated the Yin and Yang Life and Death Technique, his senses had become extremely acute, and he hadn't noticed it when the old man approached before.
"Who are you?" Zuo Dengfeng came back to his senses and frowned and asked.
"I am the brightness of Shaolin Temple." The old man raised his eyebrows and replied.
"Haha, you're so poor that you don't even have shoes, and you're still pretending to be iron shoes?" Zuo Dengfeng couldn't help but laugh out loud. Mingjing is the name of the iron shoe, which the Zhike Taoist of Bible Mountain once said to Zuo Dengfeng.
"Who told you that iron shoes are iron shoes to wear? If you look at the ring scars on my head, count whether there are nine or not, and let me tell you, there are no more than six people in the Middle-earth Buddhism who have nine ring scars. When the old man heard this, he immediately leaned his head closer to Zuo Dengfeng.
"Even if you are hot and covered with scars, it doesn't mean that you are iron shoes." Zuo Dengfeng shook his head and spoke, the number of ring scars on the heads of Buddhist monks varies, most of them are less than six, only senior monks are qualified to point more than seven ring scars, these are common knowledge of Buddhism, Zuo Dengfeng naturally knows, but it is difficult for him to associate the fat-headed and big-eared big-bellied monk in front of him with the iron shoes of one of the five great masters of Xuanmen.
"Don't force me to do it, don't give me the duck." When the old man heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, and he raised his voice.
"You don't like you're asking me to give alms?!" Zuo Dengfeng raised his eyebrows sharply.
"Oh, I beg you, give it to me, I'm starving." The old man's expression turned to pleading again, and at the same time he looked up to the west.
"Iron Shoes will have no food?" Zuo Dengfeng saw that the old man was screaming, and looked down on him more and more.
"It's over, the little lady is chasing after me again, let me tell you, although you didn't use the aura when you kicked me just now, but the yin and kidney meridians are obviously too yang, which means that you failed to reconcile yin and yang when you practice, don't practice in the future, and practice again to die." Well, I've got you a word of advice, for half a duck for you. The old man said a lot, and after he finished speaking, Zuo Dengfeng only felt that the duck in his hand had been snatched away by him, and before he could react, the old man had already stuffed half of the duck back into his hand. Zuo Dengfeng reacted and wanted to speak, but found that the old man had already lifted up in the air with a box, and the ups and downs were already dozens of feet away.
Everything happened too fast, and by the time Zuo Dengfeng was sure that the old monk just now was the legendary Iron Shoes, he had already disappeared into the night.
"Hey, do you have anything else to eat?" Just when Zuo Dengfeng was stunned, a young Taoist girl wearing a gray Taoist robe fell beside him.
"Huh?" Zuo Dengfeng couldn't help but exclaim after seeing the appearance of that aunt, this woman turned out to be a jade whisk, and when she said that in the Bible Mountain Quanzhen School, she gave herself a golden bean.
"Is there any?" Yufu's expression was also extremely anxious, and he kept looking east while speaking.
"This golden bean is returned to you, this gold bar is also given to you, and this half of the duck is also given to you, the iron shoes are running east, you go and chase it." Hearing this, Zuo Dengfeng hurriedly took out the golden beans and a large gold bar that Yufu gave him when he said that he was going to give him, and handed them over together with the half duck in his hand, Yufu gave him golden beans when he was down, this is the heaviest gift Zuo Dengfeng has ever received in his life, so he has always been grateful to his heart.
"Oh~ it's you." Hearing this, Yufu looked sideways at Zuo Dengfeng, and her tone showed that she remembered Zuo Dengfeng.
"Thank you, these are for you." Zuo Dengfeng handed over the golden bean, the gold bar, and half a duck. The clothes on Yu Fu's body were actually still the same white robes, but they were covered with dust, which showed that she had been chasing Tie Shoe for a long time, and Tie Shoe had no time to eat, and she definitely didn't have time to eat.
"I really thought highly of you before, I thought you would never give up, but I didn't expect you to be no different from those stinky men." What Zuo Dengfeng didn't expect was that the jade whisk suddenly waved the dust and swept aside the gold bars and other things in his hand.
"I don't mean anything else, you ......" Zuo Dengfeng looked at his hands in amazement, the dust silk of the jade whisk was very sharp, and Zuo Dengfeng's hands were full of subtle blood in a sweep.
Before Zuo Dengfeng's words were finished, Jade Fu reached out and grabbed his wrist. At the moment when Yufu grabbed his wrist, Zuo Dengfeng felt a domineering aura invade his meridians from between Yufu's five fingers, and he quickly swam around the meridians before withdrawing in lightning.
"No wonder your yang energy is so heavy, you went mad?" Jade Fu frowned.
"I don't know how to refine and transform qi, I use the method of turning blood into qi." Zuo Dengfeng nodded and spoke.
"I blame you, your current situation is very dangerous, if you continue to practice, you will lose your surname, tell me who your enemy is, and I will help you kill it." Jade Whisk asked quickly.
"Thank you, the iron shoes are running away, you go and chase it." Zuo Dengfeng thanked Yufu sincerely.
"Men should be like you, take care." Yu Fu nodded heavily at Zuo Dengfeng, and after speaking, he swept eastward, and under a sweep, it was also dozens of zhang.
After Yu Fu left, Zuo Dengfeng was stunned, there were many things he couldn't understand what Yu Fu said, but in his opinion, Yu Fu was nervous and moody, and the cultivation of Iron Shoes and Jade Fu were equally profound and terrifying.
"Go to Shaolin Temple, ask the abbot to take you in, only the marrow washing scripture can save your life." Just when Zuo Dengfeng raised his hand to check the injuries of his hands, Yufu swept back again, leaving a sentence and leaving again.
Zuo Dengfeng stood for a long time before coming back to his senses, lowered his head and picked up the gold bars, golden beans and the half duck, and at this time Thirteen also walked out of the hiding place. Seeing Thirteen, Zuo Dengfeng suddenly remembered that the little monkey on Yufu's shoulder was gone, and thought of the wooden box that Iron Shoes was carrying, Zuo Dengfeng guessed that the reason why Jade Whisk chased after Iron Shoes was probably because Iron Shoes stole her monkey.
"Why did Iron Shoes steal her monkey?" Zuo Dengfeng approached the carriage and tore strips of cloth from the quilt to wrap the wounds on his hands, bandaged the wounds, Zuo Dengfeng gnawed and ate the half of the duck without any condiments, and then covered the quilt and lay down.
The appearance of these two people made Zuo Dengfeng feel the lowliness of his cultivation, but no matter what, revenge came first, and he would not go to Shaolin Temple to be a monk if he was killed
