Taoism is the place of contemplation. A monk is the one who is born. Taoism honestly views the Tao, and the monk should not be too deeply involved in the world.

Don't forget, this is Beiliang, the culprit who once turned the people in the rivers and lakes into rats crossing the street, who has been patrolling the border all these years, or on the cool mountain in Beiliang, looking at Beiliang with cold eyes.

Qingrongguan of Huangnan County is famous for its ancient trees towering in Beiliang, the road to the Taoist temple to burn incense is covered with green shade, it is an excellent place for the county dignitaries to escape the summer heat, because the Beiliang Wangfu is built on the Qingliang Mountain, and Qingrongguan has the reputation of small coolness. Qingrongguan has always had a deep relationship with officials of Huangnan County, like Wang Xihua, the master of Gongcao who admires Huang Lao, although he did not have a teacher, but he worshipped Qinghuai Daoren, the master of the prison court, as a "sir", and this ancient Taoist and Wang Xihua's political enemy, Song Yan has also been friends for many years, Song Yan is not because Wang Xihua worshipped this Taoist priest as a gentleman, and the relationship with Qingrongguan is estranged, and he wants to come to Qinghuai Zhenren has his own immortal legacy that others can't reach. Now away from the sun to destroy the Buddha, only the three states of Beiliang Road pro-Buddha, many monks and monks rushed to Beiliang for refuge, Qingrongguan also opened the door of "summer retreat", most of the people who came did not refuse, fortunately in Qingrongguan incense flourishing, otherwise I am afraid that I will have to give so many mouths to eat hard, among the monks who borrowed Qingrongguan, the famous monk Huang Deng Zen Master of Jiangnan Province is the most famous, this small half a year a monk together with each other, the debate between the two sides of Buddhism and Taoism, not closed, so that Huang Nan County scholars rush to it, whether they understand it or not, it seems that they do not listen to it and it is unbearable.

At night, the night of the Taoist temple, cyan near ink, only one place hung lanterns, the lights are faint, there are two strange tunes that do not avoid slang and vulgarity sounded alternately, at first glance it sounds absurd and plank, and you may be able to touch some unique taste when you listen to it again.

The old Taoist crane has a childish face, holds a whisk in his arms, and sits on the ground with his back against the pillar, which is the Qinghuai Taoist who is proficient in the scientific instrument of Zhaijiao. There is an old monk next to him who clapped his hands lightly and was humming a sentence of "snatching the mud from the swallow's mouth, scraping the gold makeup of the Buddha's face, and cutting the ...... of the mosquito's legs", he is the Yellow Lantern Zen Master who fell from Jiangnan Road to Beiliang in the catastrophe of destroying the Buddha.

At the end of the song, the two old men looked at each other and smiled.

Huang Deng Zen Master asked softly: "Qinghuai old friend, the poor monk heard that Qingrongguan has a Xishu Lei clan guqin on Jiangnan Road, when the Lei clan followed the monarch of the dead country to die together, the previous family had more than 100 pianos, all of them were mashed, it can be said that it has become a perfect sound, I don't know if this qin can still play music?"

The old Taoist regretted: "When the poor road started, most of the 'Thunder Around the Temple' had been burned away, and there was not a single string left, and there were always tears of hope from the remnants of Xishu." ”

Zen Master Huang Lan sighed and said, "Origin and extinction. ”

The old Taoist looked up at the hanging lantern, and suddenly smiled: "The two families of Buddhism and Taoism are not blue flies competing for blood, and termites fighting for burrows." ”

The old monk nodded, and after a silence, asked, "What do you think of the Lord of Beiliang?"

The Taoist also spoke freely, saying: "I am a meritorious person." The dynasty has six merits, the founding of the country, the difficulty of Jing, the capture of the rebellion, the screen domain, the imperial Yi, and the barbarian. Xu Xiao, the king of Beiliang, occupies five, not to mention the master. Just a minister, the king wants his ministers to die, and if the ministers do not die, they are disloyal. ”

The old monk smiled calmly, the clouds were light and the wind was light, the Taoist was looking at the red lanterns, and the monk tilted his head to look at a string of windless and dumb iron horse wind chimes.

There was a buzz.

Although it sounded like a single sound, there were as many as forty crossbow arrows shot under the eaves.

The old Taoist frowned, did not retract his gaze, just brushed the dust, wrapped a few crossbow arrows in front of him in the dust white silk, and then shook his wrist, pretending to use the crossbow arrows to hit the crossbow arrows, but actually blocked all the big rain of water and arrows out of the eaves.

When they were still ten steps away from the verandah, they changed to a wave of feather arrows and arced over the top of the armor soldiers' heads, and the old Taoist stood up, holding the dust in one hand and grasping the white silk with the other, pulling out most of it and throwing it into the air.

The old Taoist who is good at looking at qi is more focused on the armor soldier behind him, the eagle warrior is covered with iron armor, and his body is graceful like a woman, and he looks particularly maverick.

Qinghuai Daoist, who already has the peak strength of the second grade, has stayed in the realm of wanting to come out for many years, and the people who cultivate the Tao, as long as they enter the small master, once they ascend to the realm again, most of them will refer to the mystery as soon as they enter the first grade, which is why the little master of the Daomen is known as the little real person. It's just that Qinghuai Dao people never show their strength to the outside world, and occasionally show their edge, and they are also pressed around the three grades, so they are only known for their intensive Taoist studies in Huangnan County. Qinghuai old road stepped on the gang step fight, just when the hidden rune array was about to open, a Buddha song sounded, the face of the Qinghuai Taoist of the fairy wind bone, climbed from the third grade to the second grade, drank lightly, the iron horse wind chimes dingdong, the red lantern shook more than once, the old monk sang again, and the talisman array still could not be smoothly formed.

Here and now, the road is one foot high, and the Buddha is one foot high.

Qinghuai Taoist finally no longer has anything to hide and hide, the whole Taoist robe is like a ball, but the old monk has closed his eyes, the old monk has settled, and listened to the light spirit of the bell.

The leader stepped on the verandah in one step, broke the gang qi with a knife, the cost was huge, the whole body was drenched in blood, regardless of the unrecognizable, one knife cut open the abdomen of the Taoist, and the other hand held the handle of the knife, increased the force, rushed forward, and hit the old man Qinghuai, who was determined to be dual-minded in the face of the enemy, and the tip of the knife not only penetrated the old Dao's body, but even penetrated the wall a few inches.

The armorer who was close to Vajra's physique spat out a mouthful of blood, raised his arm, and wiped away the blood stains on his face.

The masked armor priest behind him spoke, his voice was crisp, it should be a young woman, "Wutong Courtyard secret order, you are allowed to change Qingrong Temple into a temple." ”

The old Zen master clasped his hands together and silently recited the Buddha's name, "Amitabha." ”

There is a sect in Huangnan County that is said to be "strange" , Strange in other sects to take the name of the earth-shattering ghosts and gods to move closer, for fear that the name is not loud and scary, but the name of this gang is called Liantang, and Qi Zeqi is known as the first hand in Lingzhou in the gang book, alias Splash Monkey, lean body, quick to shoot like thunder, according to legend, before becoming famous on the rivers and lakes, he bumped into a general's horse team on the post road, the general galloped against the wind, the mink hat was blown away by the wind, the general had urgent military affairs, he didn't care about the hat, he still rode his horse wildly, never thought that a thin monkey young man actually jumped first to catch the mink hat floating in the air on the second floor, and then after the blink of an eye, he had quickly caught up with the general, The two went hand in hand, the general intended to test the internal strength of the young man, still galloping thirty miles, and this ranger also followed thirty miles all the way, without showing the slightest fatigue, the general regarded him as a stranger, and allowed him to open a sect within his jurisdiction, Liantang vaguely became the top three sects in Fengzhou at that time, only with the death of the general, this gang leader has a perverse temperament, recognized that the martial arts are not high, and people are skilled, either dead or injured, before moving to the adjacent Huangnan County, these years almost rely on him alone to support, to the year of not confused, temperament changed, only began to gradually gain a firm foothold, but Liantang is still no longer the grand occasion of the year, fortunately in these years received a few registered apprentices who are not bad, these young handsome people probably have the experience of the master, and they are good at dealing with officials of all sizes in the county, so they reluctantly helped Liantang to spread its branches in Huangnan County. The idle Dou Yangguan is in this time into the Liantang, he is also a solid family, he likes to fight fiercely when he is young, just want to become a real master, according to reason don't think about bankruptcy, a Liantang gang leader's descendants of the disciple went out to travel, was intercepted and beaten by more than 30 people from several major gangs in the county, was desperately rescued by the hot-blooded Dou Yangguan, escorted all the way to Liantang at the border of Huangnan County, the book was a gift of five hundred taels of silver, Dou Yangguan knelt for a day and a night, begged him to get started, the book was not allowed, and he left a sentence of mediocre talent, which was tantamount to being sentenced to death for Jianghu Erlang, but Dou Yangguan was also a character who drilled the horns of the bull, I would rather not have the envy of ordinary people to give silver, just ask him to squat on the school martial arts field of the disciples of the outer sect of Liantang for a month, a month later Dou Yangguan was mercilessly swept out of the house, and the apprentice of Zhang Ju who was rescued by Dou Yangguan was also angry, in order to repay the favor, he did not hesitate to violate the gang rules to teach martial arts, and was expelled from Liantang in a rage, Dou Yangguan knelt outside the door and kowtowed nearly a hundred times in succession, and finally was helped to intercede by a grandmaster of Huang Nanjun who came to Liantang and Zhang Ju to learn martial arts, and Zhang Ju also reluctantly accepted him as a disciple of the outer sect, but the apprentice was still not exempt from bad luck, just did a miscellaneous work in the gang, not recorded in the name of the Liantang sect。

The rivers and lakes are like this, there are no rules. This is also the root of why so many nobodies have to sharpen their heads and worship under the gang, it is very important to have an unknown teacher to lead the way, the same qualifications, the level of the realm in a few years, it will be a world of difference.

On the roof of a partial house, there are two young men drinking and admiring the moon, one is dressed shabby, sitting and drinking slowly, the other is brightly dressed, handsome, sharp sword eyebrows, and the size of the objects on his body are the most "fashionable" expensive items in the county town of Huangnan County nowadays, he is lying on the roof, shaking a small vermilion porcelain wine jug, the wine is green ant wine, but after replacing this gourd-shaped wine jug, the price is not even lost to the white dragon to burn too much. When the handsome man is not smiling, he still has the demeanor of a family, but when he laughs, he shows his stuffing, and he said: "Brother Yan, I really didn't expect to be able to drink six taels of silver and a pot of wine one day." ”

The shabby man surnamed Yan turned his head and laughed softly: "In the future, it will be sixty taels and one pot, and you can afford to drink it." Listen to Brother Yan's words, it is difficult for you to find such a good woman as Miss Song in your life, don't take it seriously. ”

The handsome man who could soon become a disciple of the inner sect of Liantang smiled and said, "Brother Yan, you can't beat horses as well as you in this life, but you can deal with women, especially those daughters, you are far worse than me." ”

The Luotuo man who was sitting and drinking shook his head and smiled: "Yangguan, your martial arts talent is not worse than mine, although you missed the best opportunity to temper your physique, but the master cultivates both inside and outside, and the internal strength is unfathomable, as long as you are promoted from an inner disciple to a descendant, the future is limitless." It's that Miss Song is the daughter of Lord Taishou, and you are worthy of it. Yangguan, don't think Brother Yan is rigid, when you meet a good woman, no matter how reluctant you are, as a responsible man, after all, you have to make her proud of you, you can't always feel that she is so high up A girl, she is obedient to you, just care about treating people as cattle and horses, you have face in front of all the brothers and sisters, and you can become a family with her......"

Dou Yangguan suddenly said with a gloomy face: "Brother Yan, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been ...... by Master."

The shabby man said open-mindedly: "It's all fate, and Yan Shijun has no regrets." I was adopted by Master since I was a child, and I have followed Master all the way down from Fengyang County to Huangnan County for so many years, and I have only learned Master's stubbornness, and I have a tendon in life and work. The senior brother has the best perseverance and tenacity, and learned martial arts from the master, and the second senior brother has the best talent, even if he is not diligent in practicing martial arts, his martial arts have not fallen, and he is also exquisite when he arrives at the official master's side, and the second senior brother is lost to the second senior brother in all aspects, so that our Liantang can go wider and wider in Huangnan County. It's just that many things, love and righteousness are difficult to fulfill, no matter how you choose, you don't live happily, and I don't know if you entered the lotus pond to help you or harm you. You may know the Tao in the future...... But I hope you still don't know the way, when you become the son-in-law of Lord Taishou, don't mix up any rivers and lakes, you can't get ahead. Mixed officialdom mixed with the military, you can mix anything better than mixing with us. ”

Dou Yangguan was speechless, sat up, and saw that several outer disciples of Yutang who were serving as sentry sentries were patrolling the night near the school's martial arts field, and he was a little uninterested.

Dou Yangguan's eyes widened suddenly, and he didn't feel any alcohol.

A group of black-armored people climbed over the wall in an orderly manner, bent forward after landing on the ground, lifted the short crossbow and shot hard, the autumn wind swept the leaves and generally killed the sentry stakes in front of the place where they went, and almost all the disciples of the Liantang Night Patrol were shot through their heads by more than two crossbow arrows to ensure that they died silently, and they could not make any struggle before they died. When Yan Shijun and Dou Yangguan stood up and saw the general context, Yan Shijun immediately shouted: "There is a killer attack!"

Dou Yangguan was a little dazed, and was about to turn his head and ask Yan Shijun what kind of enemy Liantang had provoked, he was so powerful, when he turned his head, there was a slight sound of a few arrows breaking through the air, and then he saw a bloody scene, and Brother Yan, who had just warned him, dodged the attack of a featherless arrow, and gave the second featherless arrow that wound a large arc obliquely through the abdomen from the side, Yan Shijun staggered back, and shot another arrow in the face, except for the particularly domineering second arrow that could not be dodged, the other two arrows were fine, Yan Shijun turned his head sideways, held the arrow with one hand, lifted the arrow upside down, and tried his best to say: "It's the Northern Liang Crossbowman!"

Before he finished speaking, a majestic black-armored killer stepped up the stairs easily, his face was a little annoyed by Yan Shijun's troubles, holding a crossbow in one hand, and drawing a knife in the other hand to slash at Yan Shijun, where did Dou Yangguan experience this kind of life and death only in a moment's fight, in the past, the brawls between gangs, although there were also mutual killings, there were also spicy scenes of blood splashing, but even the raw hand Dou Yangguan had the power to fight, in the end it was far less terrifying and cruel than tonight's sneak attack, not to mention that he Dou Yangguan became a person watching the show, even Yan Shijun, who was a first-class master in his eyes, was cut off with his arm and the whole shoulder under that knife, The burly man in black armor took a knife, and the knife was quickly raised, and Yan Shijun's head was picked off, and at the same time raised his arm and shot a crossbow at Douyang Pass, probably Dou Yangguan's life should not be extinguished, this moment was actually blessed to the soul, a thousand catties fell, it was able to avoid the crossbow, stepped on the roof tiles, fell into the armory room, and retreated with a knife, Dou Yangguan relied on the familiar terrain, wandering away, every time he moved, there were crossbow arrows splashed down from the roof like a shadow, the black armor killer sighed lightly, obviously did not expect this kid to be so flexible, and was about to jump into the house to chase and kill, a man in the same armor jumped on the roof, holding a big bow with horns, towards a house that was suddenly lit up, an arrow away, broken through the window, the owner of the house lit the lamp, and was hung on the wall by an arrow. The man with amazing archery skills said coldly, "Only catch big fish tonight." I'm here to guard, you go downstairs, if you lose to the young eagles who just got out of the nest in Wutong Garden this time, you know the consequences. ”

The burly armor soldier showed a trace of fear in his eyes, hurriedly agreed, and ran forward, like a mountain forest spirit ape lightly jumped off the roof, joined the other armor soldiers, and quickly pushed forward, straight to a main house, which was the courtyard where the Liantang Gang was registered.

The armor warriors rushed all the way, the momentum was like a bamboo, and the outer disciples who were not skilled were only slaughtered like cutting rice, some of the inner disciples were not all without the power to fight, but this group of armor warriors did not pay attention to the gods of the rivers and lakes, and the short soldiers in a small area were connected to each other in a small area, and they all achieved the advantage of bullying the few after a blink of an eye, two or three cool knives rushed forward, supplemented by the insidious sneak attack of the short crossbow and the needle, and there was a solid soft armor drape, the blade equipment in the Jianghu gang could not be called how sharp, as long as it was not a fatal injury, these armor soldiers did not pay attention to it at all, let you stab a sword or two knives, they can take the opportunity to seriously injure or even kill the Liantang disciples on the opposite side of the enemy。 You must know that the Dao Peregrine Falcon is a master of all kinds of rivers and lakes from Liyang, and the one-on-one technical combat is a veteran of the expert, and he has become a pack of jackals in the immersion and penetration of many military battle formations over the years, and compared with the single assassination, the lethality caused is naturally not the same.

The archer on the roof gave the order with a twinkle in his eyes, and pulled out a refined feathered arrow from his back sac.

Huang Nanjun's first-hand "splashing monkey" album can be regarded as a tricky character that can be compared to Wang Fuhu from Lu Qiantang and others. The Peregrine Falcon and the Eagle Warrior were parallel this time, and it was undoubtedly a great achievement to be able to remove the head of this person.

Ren Shanyu's figure fell, and his life and death were uncertain.

Xu Fengnian's eyes were calm, "Peregrine falcon?"

Then he said: "That guy should be the big fish that caught the right one with Han Shang." ”

Xu Yanbing nodded, and then Cao Ji and Xueyi found that only the gray-haired boy was left in the house.

In the Chai Gate Courtyard, the "rich master" who succeeded in one blow was about to leave quietly, and then died quietly, and the old man didn't even know how he died and whose hands he died.
