Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Monk of Kongo Temple
Xia Yuan and the three of them quietly returned to the inn, and the three of them sat on the chairs in the room, all silent.
Xia Tu and Xia Shi haven't acted like this for a long time, and the long-lost excitement makes the two a little uncomfortable. Coupled with the mistakes made by the two of them halfway, Xia Tu and Xia Shi were a little embarrassed to speak, so they seemed silent. And Xia Yuan was thinking about what mistakes there were in today's action, so that he could pick them out and make up for them as soon as possible. is also thinking about how to attack Zhou Xing.
Since forgetting about Dongfang Bai in the rivers and lakes, Xia Yuan has developed such a good habit of saving himself three times a day.
After Xia Yuan recalled the actions he made tonight, and thought about and improved them, Xia Yuan nodded with satisfaction. After Xia Yuan came back to his senses, he found that Xia Tu and Xia Shi were hanging on the side, like abandoned kittens, looking pitiful to Xixi.
Xia Yuan said with a smile: "What's wrong with you? Isn't it true that we've already avenged half of our revenge, we should be happy, what kind of expressions do you have?"
When Xia Tu and Xia Shi heard what Xia Yuan said, they glanced at each other, stunned, and did not make a sound.
Xia Yuan didn't speak again, just smiled and looked at Xia Tu and Xia Shi. Xia Yuan knew that Xia Tu and Xia Shi already knew their mistakes, but they were embarrassed to speak. What Xia Yuan did was to let them speak by themselves, only in this way would Xia Tu and Xia Shi firmly remember. When a similar situation occurs in the future, they will remember what happened today, and they will not have these problems again.
Xia Yuan and the three of them sat like this for a while, and in the end, Xia Shi stood up and admitted his mistake. Immediately afterwards, Xia Tu also opened his mouth to admit his mistake. Xia Yuan heard them admit their mistakes, so he didn't say anything, he wanted to give Xia Tu and Xia Shi a step down. Since the main mistake was admitted, Xia Yuan didn't bother to ask about some other details, and let Xia Tu and Xia Shi figure it out by themselves.
Xia Yuan was about to go back to the room to rest, he asked Xia Tu and Xia Shi to rest early, Xia Tu and Xia Shi nodded hurriedly, and then he went back to his room alone.
After Xia Yuan left, Xia Tu and Xia Shi both breathed a sigh of relief. The two looked at each other and immediately felt amused.
Xia Tu was the first to speak: "Unexpectedly, the momentum of the eldest brother has become more and more majestic, and I was a little out of breath just now." In the end, Xia Tu was quite emotional.
"Yes, yes!" Xia Shi said: "The eldest young master has more and more the power of the head of the family, it seems that the master under the nine springs can be blinded." ”
Xia Tu nodded in agreement.
Speechless all night.
The next day, Xia Yuan and the three of them rushed out of the city early in the morning, and they wanted to deal with Zhou Xing before he returned, so that they could save a lot of trouble and take revenge as soon as possible. For Xia Yuan and the others, this grudge has been held in their hearts for too long. It's so long that it's almost uncontrollable for them.
According to the information Qian Quan said, Zhou Xing had rushed to the state city more than half a month ago, and according to his estimates, Zhou Xing would return to Yangcheng in the near future. Otherwise, Zhou Xing's official position would be in danger of being removed. Now the world is governed by the major families, and it is precisely because the major families do not want their children to waste their time that so many positions have fallen into the hands of outsiders. If every official neglects his duties, why should the major families put their positions in the hands of outsiders?
Therefore, the Great Xia Dynasty had strict rules that officials were not allowed to leave the places under their jurisdiction without authorization. Once discovered, the official will be dismissed.
Although Zhou Xing used the excuse of returning to Zhou City to resume his post, he could not stay for more than a month. Otherwise, Zhou Xing is at risk of being dismissed. A person as fine as Zhou Xing naturally would not make such a low-level mistake. Therefore, Xia Yuan guessed that Zhou Xing was about to come back.
It was precisely because of this that Xia Yuan and the three of them had to drive out of the city as soon as possible, so as not to miss the opportunity to ambush Zhou Xing.
Based on the information Qian Quan said, Xia Yuan and the others deduced that Zhou Xing must pass through Reti Mountain when he came back, which was the only way between Zhou City and Yanglin City. Xia Yuan and the three of them were ready to ambush near Reti Mountain, and they came to wait for the rabbit. Although Xia Yuan and the three of them don't look down on Zhou Xing very much, there is a case in everything, even people like Qian Quan almost let Xia Yuan and the three of them capsize in the gutter and go back empty-handed. No matter what Zhou Xing says, he has to have some capital than Qian Quan, and Xia Yuan and the three of them have to be more precautionary.
When Xia Yuan and the three of them came to Reti Mountain, Zhou Xing's trace was far away. In his spare time, Xia Yuan fought with Xia Tu and Xia Shi to improve their combat experience, so that they would not even be unable to fully exert their own cultivation. After the fight, Xia Yuan and the three of them would barbecue together, reminiscing about the past, talking about the future, and talking about a lot of fun. Xia Yuan even took advantage of this to pass on some experience on the rivers and lakes to the two of them, so that the two would not be ignorant of the things on the rivers and lakes.
Happy times always feel like time flies by, and it passes quickly. Unconsciously, it has been three days since Xia Yuan and the three of them came to Reti Mountain. On this day, Xia Yuan and the others finally heard the sound of horses' hooves, and Xia Yuan and the others followed the sound and looked into the distance and found that it was the banner of the Yanglin Prefect.
Xia Yuan and the three of them were overjoyed, they hid behind a mountain cliff, ready to observe the situation of Zhou Xing next week.
As the sound of horses' hooves approached, the situation of Zhou Xing and his group was presented in front of Xia Yuan and the three of them.
Zhou Xing's group of six people were all riding horses, and the person who appeared at the moment was Zhou Xing. The people behind Zhou Xing were a little incomprehensible to Xia Yuan, and the five people behind him were all monks.
These monks were all full of flesh, stout, and vicious, without the compassion of the monks Xia Yuan saw in the Shaolin Temple.
These people were the monks of the King Kong Temple, and Xia Yuan guessed the origin of these monks at once.
King Kong Temple is one of the seven major factions of the Demon Gate, and its power is not weaker than that of Shaolin Temple, the largest faction in the world. The dragon elephant Prajna Gong that Xia Yuan learned is the mastery of King Kong Temple, which is the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and not being defeated in a hundred battles. Xia Yuan was naturally unwilling to be tied down, and for this reason, he specially got a lot of news about the King Kong Temple from the mouth of Master Kongku.
It is precisely because of this that Xia Yuan saw through the origin of these monks at a glance. It's just that what puzzled Xia Yuan was, what was the connection between Zhou Xing and these monks of the King Kong Temple? Could it be that this Zhou Xing was an undercover agent of the King Kong Temple faction in Kyushu?
However, if Zhou Xing was an undercover agent of the King Kong Temple faction in Kyushu, why did he dare to expose it in broad daylight. Isn't he afraid of being chased by major families?
Or, Zhou Xing didn't know the origin of these monks of the Vajra Temple, but what kind of transactions did he have with the monks of the Vajra Temple......
