Zhong Wanqiu slashed the air, and Li Shuchong smiled: "You don't want this daughter yourself, even if she has been hacked to death, it is better to give it to me completely." Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" said "Ling Bo Weibu" and floated out a few feet.

Zhong Wanqiu knew that he had done a good job, so he was so anxious that he jumped with his feet and scolded. Emperor Baoding and the others saw that although he was holding Zhong Ling, he was still floating as light as nothing, and they were all secretly speechless. Only Yun Zhonghe was slightly unconvinced, feeling that his light skills should be on par with him.

Zhong Wanqiu slashed his daughter in a rage, but at this time, he saw that his daughter was taken away by Li Shuchong, after all, the father and daughter were in deep love, and he thought that his wife couldn't explain when he asked, so in a hurry, he also chased after him with a knife.

Emperor Baoding said goodbye to the group of heroes at the moment, and his party left the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations and returned to Dali City. Li Shuchong quickly got rid of Zhong Wanqiu and came to Zhennan Wangfu with everyone. Hua Hegen, Fan Hua, and Ba Tianshi came out of the mansion, and Duan Yu followed out with a twist, and a girl beside him was gorgeously dressed and bright, it was Mu Wanqing, who was a new wife.

Fan Hua reported to Emperor Baoding that Hua Hegong was digging tunnels, met Li Shuchong, and sent Zhong Ling into the stone house together, but he was vague about the plot of Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing in the stone house. Only then did everyone know that Zhong Wan's hatred could not harm others, but he harmed himself, and his daughter did not know that she was "stolen for a pillar", which led to an extra son-in-law out of thin air, and everyone laughed.

Although the medicinal properties of the "Yin and Yang Harmony Harmony" were violent, they were not poisonous, and Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing had already secretly intersected and solved most of the medicinal properties. However, they still took some laxatives and drank several large bowls of cold water, this time completely dissolving the medicinal properties.

At noon, the palace held a banquet. Everyone happily talked about the Ten Thousand Tribulations Valley at the banquet, and they all said that Li Shuchong, Huangmei Monk and Hua Hegen had the greatest credit for this battle, and Li Shuchong did not need to say that Huangmei Monk made great contributions. If he hadn't restrained Duan Yanqing, Hua Hegen would have had to find out to him when he was digging the tunnel.

Dao Baifeng suddenly said: "Brother Hua, I still want to ask you to work hard again." Hua Hegen said: "The princess commands, and she should obey her orders." Dao Baifeng said: "Please send someone to block this tunnel." Hua Hegen was stunned and responded: "Yes." But I didn't know what she meant.

Dao Baifeng glared at Duan Zhengchun and said, "This tunnel leads to Mrs. Zhong's apartment, if it is not blocked, I am afraid that we have a benevolent brother here, and from now on we will go to drill the tunnel every night." The crowd laughed.

Mu Wanqing didn't take long before she peeked at Duan Yu, and whenever she made eye contact with him, the two turned their heads to avoid it. She knew that people's words were terrifying, and she and Duan Lang would not be able to become a couple in a short time. She recalled the scene of the two of them living together in the stone house in the past few days, which was both sweet and warm, but also sad, after all, she had to take into account the rumors of "brother and sister intercourse", and she could not live with Duan Lang publicly for the time being. only listened to everyone talk about Zhong Ling wanting to become Li Shuchong's concubine, and said that although she was making Li Shuchong small, she also wanted to make up a grand wedding for them. Mu Wanqing saw that Zhong Ling got what he wanted, sighed to herself, the more she listened, the more angry she became, and took out a small gold box from her arms, which was the token that Mrs. Zhong asked Duan Yu to ask her father to save Zhong Ling, stretched out her hand to Duan Zhengchun, and said, "Gan Baobao gave it to you!"

Duan Zhengchun was stunned for a moment, and said, "What?" Mu Wanqing said angrily: "It's Zhong Ling's little girl's birthday, and it just so happens that she is about to get married." Holding the gold box, Duan Yu pointed at it, and said, "It was Gan Baobao who asked him to give it to you." ”

Duan Zhengchun took it, his heart was sour, he had already recognized that this gold box was given to her on the eve of his love affair with Gan Baobao, opened the lid of the box, and saw a small red paper in the box, which read: "The fifth ugly time of the first month of December in the year of Yiwei" Nine small characters, the handwriting is crooked, it is Gan Baobao's handwriting.

Dao Baifeng said coldly: "Gan Baobao is very powerful, even if her daughter is going to marry Li Shuchong at that time, she has already sent her daughter's birthday over." ”

Duan Zhengchun flipped over the red paper and saw a few lines of extremely thin small words written on the back: "Sad and bitter, all thoughts are lost." However, a son can't be without a father, sixteen years ago, he was looking forward to it, just waiting for you to come. As a last resort, he returned to the Zhong family in May of the year of Yiwei. "The font is so slender that it's almost impossible to see unless you look at it. Duan Zhengchun remembered that he had failed Gan Baobao, his eyes turned red, and suddenly his heart moved, and he instantly understood the meaning of these lines: "The baby married Zhong Wanqiu in May of the year Yiwei, but Zhong Ling was born on the fifth day of December of that year, and most of them were not Zhong Wanqiu's daughters." The baby waited hard for me to come, saying that "a child cannot be without a father", and that he was "forced to marry" because he was pregnant, and he could not marry and have children. Then Zhong Ling's child is my daughter. Precisely...... It was at that time, in the spring of sixteen years ago, that she had been happy for less than a month, and there was a child like Zhong Ling......" Thinking about this festival, he blurted out: "Ah, is it possible...... Zhong Ling turned out to be ......"

Dao Baifeng asked, "What is it?" Duan Zhengchun shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Zhong Wanqiu, this guy...... This guy is too much to get on the table...... The matter of marrying his daughter, it is better for us to handle it for him!" Dao Baifeng listened to his words, obviously insincere, took the red note in his hand and looked at it, pondered slightly, understood the reason, couldn't help laughing, and said, "It turns out ...... It turns out, haha, Zhong Ling, this little girl, is also your illegitimate daughter. "Anger rushes up, and the backhand is a palm. Duan Zhengchun turned his head sideways to avoid it.

Everyone in the hall was very embarrassed. Emperor Baoding smiled and said: "Even so, I have to help Zhong Ling prepare the dowry, marry relatives, and marry daughters together." ”

Li Shuchong said happily: "Thank you Emperor Duan, it's just that I also have a brother named Zhang Wuji, who is also planning to get married, so it's better to have a wedding together." ”

Emperor Baoding said: "You are Duan Yu's friend, and you saved his life, and this time you have made a great contribution to the Duan family of Dali, we can't treat you badly." In this way, if there is anyone among your wives and concubines who has not had a wedding, let's just make up for it together in the palace and make it lively. ”

......

......

While speaking, a general walked to the entrance of the hall, held a famous post in both hands, bowed down and said: "Uncle Yanzhi of the Tiger Prison asks to see the prince." Duan Zhengchun thought to himself that this Guo Yanzhi was the hundred-year-old disciple of the head of the Barberry faction, nicknamed the "Soul Chasing Whip", it was said that the martial arts were quite successful, but he had no contact with the Duan family, and he didn't know what was going on all the way away, so he immediately stood up and said to Emperor Baoding: "This person doesn't know what to do, brother go out and take a look." ”

Emperor Baoding smiled and nodded, thinking: "This 'soul chasing whip' came at a good time, and you just took the opportunity to get out." ”

Duan Zhengchun walked out of the flower hall, and Gao Shengtai followed behind with Chu, Gu, Fu, and Zhu.

Li Shuchong was inconvenient to follow along, so he attached the "power of voyeurism" to Gao Shengtai's brain, and while talking to Zhong Lingqing, he understood the dynamics outside.

It turned out that Guo Yanzhi's uncle "Golden Abacus" Cui Baiquan changed his name and surname, took refuge in the Zhennan Palace, and incarnated as Mr. Huo, who was obscene and alcoholic in the tent. That day, Duan Yu dealt with the crocodile god of the South China Sea, and he once pulled him to serve as his master. In fact, Duan Yu pulled Cui Baiquan to pretend to be the master, all by mistake, only to feel that everyone in the house was the most ugly and obscene cub with his appearance, so he pulled him to joke with the South China Sea crocodile god. But Cui Baiquan thought that he had already been discovered by Duan Zhengchun, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Gao Shengtai said: "The prince has always been hospitable, not to mention that Brother Cui has no malicious conspiracy in my Dali, even if there is an unfavorable heart, the prince should be tolerant and treat each other with sincerity." Why should Brother Cui be polite?" The implication is that it is only because you have no bad deeds that this is compatible so far, otherwise, you would have been taken care of long ago. ”

Gao Shengtai was the first to discover the truth about Cui Baiquan, but he said as if King Zhennan had a unique vision and had already discovered the truth, and it was indeed the character of a traitor who was "traitorous and loyal". Li Shuchong knew that Gao Shengtai's true thoughts at the moment were: "This mediocre and incompetent Duan Zhengchun only knows that he is messing with flowers and grass outside, and has been hidden in the palace incognito by Cui Baiquan for more than ten years, but he doesn't know what kind of face he has? Alas, how can he be so virtuous that he has been canonized as the emperor's younger brother? In time, I will take his place! It's just that in front of outsiders, I still have to protect the face of Dali for him. Li Shuchong secretly thought, if there is a suitable opportunity, I must remind Duan Yu, or directly eliminate this hidden danger for him. It's just that at present, Dali is weak, and it is not allowed to act rashly, so as not to be suspected of destroying the Great Wall......

Cui Baiquan continued: "Gao Hou Ye Mingjian, having said that, why should the surnamed Cui take refuge in the palace, he must make it clear before saying goodbye, otherwise it will not be bright enough." It's just that this matter involves others, and Cui Baiquan dares to take a step to speak. ”

Duan Zhengchun nodded, and said to Guo Yanzhi: "Brother Guo, the master has a deep hatred, the matter is very important, and he is not busy at this moment." It's not too late for us to deliberate. Before Guo Yanzhi agreed, Cui Baiquan had already rushed to say: "The prince commands, you should obey your orders." ”

At this time, a general walked to the entrance of the hall and bowed down and said: "Lord Qi, the abbot of Shaolin Temple sent two senior monks to come and write a book." "Since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Shaolin Temple has been the Taishan Beidou in the martial arts. When Duan Zhengchun heard this, he immediately stood up and walked to the dripping eaves to greet him.

I saw two middle-aged monks guided by two generals across the patio. A monk with a dry appearance bowed down and said, "The little monk of Shaolin Temple, Huizhen, Huiguan, see the prince." Duan Zhengchun returned the salute with his fists and said, "The two of you have come from afar, but it is hard work, please serve tea in the hall." ”

When they came to the hall, the two monks did not take their seats. Hui Zhen said: "Lord, the poor monk was ordered by the abbot of our temple to present a letter to the emperor of Baoding and the prince of Zhennan. As he spoke, he took out an oiled paper package from his arms, untied it layer by layer, revealing a yellow letter, and presented it to Duan Zhengchun with both hands.

Duan Zhengchun took it and said, "The imperial brother is here, and the two of them happened to meet each other. Xiang Cui Baiquan and Guo Yanzhi: "Please use some snacks and talk about it later." "The moment leads Huizhen and Huiguan in.

At that time, Emperor Baoding was talking to the yellow-eyed monk Qingming, Li Shuchong and Duan Yu were sitting on the side and listening, Zhong Ling pulled Mu Wanqing and whispered something, as if begging her to be a bridesmaid. The big wedding is imminent, but Zhong Ling has no familiar relatives and friends around, so he can only come to Mu Wanqing.

When everyone saw Huizhen and Huiguan coming in, they all stood up. Duan Zhengchun sent a letter, Emperor Baoding opened it, and saw that the letter was written to his two brothers, and said a large paragraph of "long admiration of the British name, no way to know Jing", "Weizhen Tiannan, benevolence and virtue are widely been", "all the people look up, heroes return to the heart", "Explain the Dharma, promote the holy way" and so on polite words, but when it comes to the topic, he only said: "My senior brother Xuanbei Zen Shuai led four disciples to your realm, and I would like to take care of the friendship of the Buddha and the martial arts fellow Daoists." The following signature is "Shaolin Zen Temple Shizi Xuanci Ten Hundred Worships".

Emperor Baoding stood and read the letter, which means respecting the Shaolin Temple, and Huizhen and Huiguan stood respectfully on the side. Emperor Baoding said: "Please sit down." The abbot of Shaolin has both the edict, everyone is a disciple of Buddhism, a martial arts faction, but the teaching is within his ability, and he should obey his orders. Master Xuanbei knows Buddhism, martial arts are profound, and he is admired by the lower brothers, and I don't know when the master will come? ”

Huizhen and Huiguan suddenly knelt on their knees, kowtowed, and then cried bitterly. Emperor Baoding and Duan Zhengchun were all shocked, and said in their hearts: "Could it be that Master Xuanbei is dead?"

Emperor Baoding stretched out his hand to help him up and said, "You and I are fellow martial artists, so we can't be this great gift." Huizhen stood up straight, and sure enough, said, "My master has passed away." Emperor Baoding thought: "This letter was originally sent by Master Xuanbei himself, could it be that he died in Dali?"

said: "Master Xuanbei returned to the west, Buddhism is one less monk, and one master of martial arts is lost, which is really a pity." I wonder when Master Xuanbei will pass away?"

Hui Zhen said: "The abbot got the message a month ago that the 'four wicked people in the world' are coming to Dali to embarrass the emperor and the king of Zhennan. Dali Duan's Weizhen Tiannan, since he is not afraid of his 'four evildoers', but I am afraid that the two of them do not know, and his deacons and subordinates have been plotted, so they sent my master and four disciples to Dali to report to the emperor, and listen to the dispatch. ”

Emperor Baoding was grateful, and thought: "No wonder the Shaolin faction has been respected by everyone for hundreds of years, and the abbot of Xuanci takes the safety of the world's martial arts as his own responsibility. He said in his letter that he wanted us to take care of Master Xuanbei's master and apprentice, but in fact, he sent someone to report and help him. He immediately bowed slightly and said, "Master Abbot is generous, and my brother doesn't know how to repay him." ”

Hui Zhen said: "The emperor is too humble. My master and apprentice Cheng Nan, on the twenty-eighth of last month, in Dali Luliangzhou body ring temple to place an order, that know that in the early morning of the twenty-ninth day, our four brothers got up and saw the master...... Our master was plotted by someone to die on the main hall of the Body Ring Temple......" At this point, he was already whimpering and unable to make a sound.

Emperor Baoding sighed and asked, "Did Master Xuanbei fall for the evil secret weapon?"

Hui Zhen said: "No. Emperor Baoding, Huangmei Monk, Duan Zhengchun, and Gao Shengtai were all surprised, and they all thought: "With the martial arts of Master Xuanbei, if it were not for the vicious secret weapon that sealed the throat with blood in the body, even if the enemy suddenly attacked from behind, he would never be completely unable to resist and die." In Dali Kingdom, which evil sect master can have such a ability to carry out such a poisonous hand?"

Duan Zhengchun said: "Today is the third day of the new year, and the evening of the twenty-eighth of last month was four days ago. Yu'er was captured in the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations on the night of the twenty-seventh day. Emperor Baoding nodded and said, "It's not the 'Four Great Evils'." "Duan Yanqing has been in the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations for the past few days, and he must not go to Luliang Prefecture, which is thousands of miles away, to kill people, not to mention that even Duan Yanqing may not be able to kill Master Xuanbei in one fell swoop.

Emperor Baoding suddenly had a thought: Unless the sneak attacker is light and profound, he can kill the enemy with one blow, is it ...... Li Shuchong or his friend? He immediately dismissed this ridiculous idea. Not to mention whether they have such a high level of martial arts, they can be excluded from the consideration of motives alone, not to mention that they were also near the stone house at the time, and they could not be separated.

Hui Zhen said: "We helped the master, his old man was cold, he had been dead for a long time, and there was no trace of his hands in the hall. We chased out of the temple, and the senior brothers of the Shenjie Temple also helped in the search, but we couldn't find the slightest clue about the murderer within dozens of miles. ”

Emperor Baoding said gloomily: "Master Xuanbei died for my Duan family, and he suffered in the territory of Dali, and it is reasonable, my brother must not stay out of the matter." ”

The two monks of Huizhen and Huiguan knelt down at the same time and thanked them. Hui Zhen said again: "After the four of my brothers and the abbot of the Body Ring Temple, Master Wuye, discussed, the master's body was temporarily stored in the Body Ring Temple, and I didn't dare to cremate it, so that the head of the sect could inspect it in the future. My two senior brothers rushed back to Shaolin Temple to report to the head of the family, and the little monk and Huiguan rushed to Dali to report to the emperor and the king of Zhennan. ”

Emperor Baoding said: "The abbot of Wuye is old and virtuous, knowledgeable, and knows a lot about martial arts, what does his old man say?"

Hui Zhen said: "The five-leaf abbot said: Nine times out of ten, the murderer is a figure from the Gusu Murong family. ”

Duan Zhengchun and Gao Shengtai glanced at each other, and said in their hearts: "It's 'Gusu Murong again'!"

The Huangmei monk had been listening silently, and suddenly interjected: "Master Xuanbei was killed by the enemy's move 'Great Vedic Pestle' in the chest?" Hui Zhen was taken aback and said: "The master's expectation is good, I don't know how...... How to ......" Huangmei monk said: "I have long heard that Shaolin Xuanbei Master's 'Great Wei Tuo Pestle' kung fu is a must in martial arts, and the other party's ribs are broken after being Chinese. This martial art is naturally powerful, but after all, it is too domineering, and it seems that it is not my Buddhist disciple...... Alas!" Duan Yu interjected: "Yes, this kung fu is too ruthless. ”

Huizhen and Huiguan listened to Huangmei Monk commenting on their master, and they were already dissatisfied in their hearts, but they respected him as a senior monk and didn't dare to talk back. Duan Yu just ignored it and ignored it. Li Shuchong also echoed: "Do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself." There is another popular rumor in the rivers and lakes, but he didn't say it, but left this line to the Huangmei monk.

Duan Zhengchun hurriedly asked, "How did Senior Brother know that Master Xuanbei was hit by the 'Great Vedic Pestle' and died?"

The Huangmei monk sighed: "Master Wuye, the abbot of the Ring Temple, expected that the murderer was the Gusu Murong clan, so naturally he didn't speculate randomly. Second Brother Duan, Gusu Murong has a saying, called: 'With the way of the other, give back to the other body', have you heard it?" Duan Zhengchun muttered: "I have heard this sentence before, but I don't really understand the meaning. ”

The yellow-eyed monk muttered: "In the way of the other, give back the body." Well, in the way of the other, give back to the other......"
