When I heard the story, I said loudly to the old monk that Puzhao must be a Japanese spy, so let's kill it first.

When the old monk heard this, he rolled his eyes at me, shook his head, and continued to tell his story.

Escorted Puzhao and his entourage, set off from Taizhou Mansion, went north through Yanxi and Cao'e River, passed through Shaoxing Mansion, ferried the Qiantang River, and entered Hangzhou. It's half a month, and if it's a high-speed rail now, it will take more than an hour to get to Hangzhou.

Along the way, the two officers either beat or scolded, and Pu Zhao had to grit his teeth and endure it. Fortunately, on the way, there was a Buddhist monk at home who met, and saw that the escort was a little monk, and the poor one was embarrassed, so he sent some food and gave some copper coins, and the two messengers had a little smile, and when the food was exhausted, they vented their emotions to Puzhao.

Puzhao and his entourage entered Lin'an, close to Tianmu Mountain, the ancient road is full of mountains, and there are few pedestrians. At this time, it is late autumn, and the leaves are flying, and the mountains are golden, which is very beautiful.

But the two officers were not interested in enjoying the surrounding scenery, and suddenly restrained their evil deeds, and they were also afraid of accidents, and wanted to rush to Fulin County, Anhui Province as soon as possible.

As the saying goes, if you are afraid of something, it will come.

Sure enough, the three men met the bandits.

When they were about to reach the Anhui border, more than a dozen hidden bandits came out of the grass on the side of the road, all carrying knives and guns in their hands.

The two officers hurriedly saluted and begged not to kill.

When they saw that it was the government escorting the prisoner and a monk, they were very curious, and searched the three of them, and there were only one hundred and ten copper plates and an official document.

The leader is a tall and mighty person, known as the fifth master. He took the official document and looked at it, and his eyes changed. He looked Pu Zhao up and down.

Monk, are you really from Lingguang Temple?

Pu Zhao nodded.

Who is the abbot of Lingguang Temple?

Dense Mage.

What about people?

My master has traveled all over the world.

The fifth master looked at the two errand officers again, asked them to leave the prisoners, and quickly returned to Taizhou.

This frightened the errand officer, and if he was held accountable, he would inevitably be punished, so he hurriedly pleaded with the fifth master. The fifth master is willing to listen to them. The bandits raised their swords and tried to kill them all, so frightened that the messenger turned and fled. Pu Zhao shouted when he saw this.

Heroic and slow.

What's wrong? My fifth master saved you and killed the servants, so that they would not be harmed again.

Fifth master, I am a wanted criminal in Fulin County, if you intercept a criminal, you will provoke fire and burn yourself, and it will not harm you? If the government investigates and comes to clean up, you won't be able to settle down here.

Joke, my fifth master has come and gone without a trace, where can I find the government? Besides, the fifth master will let you lead the way to find someone. Less nonsense, take away.

After walking in the woods for a long time, they stopped in front of a cave. The cave is halfway up the mountain, and you can observe the ancient road from Zhejiang into Anhui from a distance, which is indeed a favorable location.

After entering the cave, the bandits tied Puzhao to a stone pillar, and someone helped him to poop and eat. Puzhao asked the bandits to intercede with the fifth master and remove the torture tools.

The fifth master of my family said that the monks of Lingguang Temple are good at martial arts, and they cannot be loosened.

Helpless, Puzhao had no choice but to endure it, just standing and practicing, silently reciting the scriptures.

The bandits descended the mountain every day, and there were two people left in the cave. Puzhao wanted to leave, but with the torture equipment on his body, he couldn't escape over the mountains and mountains, so he had to give up.

One evening, the fifth master came back from the bottom of the mountain, carried back three boxes, and shouted to evacuate quickly. It seems that the bandits are indeed changing places with a ticket, coming and going in a hurry, and it is extremely difficult to find them.

The bandits were busy packing their things.

The fifth master walked up to Puzhao, waved his hand, let people open the shackles, and tied his hands behind his back, and left a rope to be led by people.

Monk, don't play tricks, otherwise, you will be killed at any time.

Puzhao nodded, indicating that he would obey.

When it got dark, the bandits lit torches and walked through the mountains. Judging from the constellations, the bandits have been heading northwest. Until dawn, I only stopped to rest and eat dry food.

Where did Puzhao ask when he was feeding the bandits dry food? The bandit replied impatiently that he had entered the border of Anhui.

After resting for an hour, the fifth master beckoned to change direction and headed west.

It has been several months since Puzhao fled, and his hair has grown, and if it weren't for this Luohan gown, he wouldn't have recognized him as a monk.

Twenty or so people arrived at a lake, and there was a deserted land temple next to it, so they stayed here temporarily, and the fifth master arranged for people to keep watch in the woods outside.

The bandits are all staring at the three boxes that were robbed last night, hoping for a surprise, waiting for the order of the fifth master, seeing what it is, and thinking of making a fortune.

The fifth master looked around, all of them were greedy eyes, shook his head helplessly, and slashed his big hand.

The bandits got the order and hurriedly smashed open the box with the back of their knives. It was filled with clothes, and some copper coins were scattered around. Everyone hurriedly took out their clothes, and there was wood underneath, and the bottom layer was a layer of fine sand, and there was nothing valuable at all, so they were all dumbfounded.

When Pu Zhao saw the fine sand, he couldn't help but say loudly.

Fifth master, you have been fooled, and the government may be behind.

Sling the bull.

Pu Zhao pointed to the ground, and when the fifth master looked at it, the fine sand line on the ground spilled in from outside the temple. This method of sand leakage timekeeping has been mastered by the ancients, but now it is used for tracking, understanding that this is a ploy of the government, and they can find traces by following along the fine sand line.

At this moment, the bandits who were on guard came in a panic, calling the fifth master and saying that the officers and soldiers were coming.

The fifth master and the others were in a mess, rushing out of the door, only to see thirty or forty officers and soldiers rushing with knives, and the distance was only about 100 zhang. Obviously, it is impossible to evacuate in an orderly manner, and you can only flee for your own life.

At this time, the fifth master did not forget to take care of the monk, and dragged him towards the forest, and several personal brothers were cut off to protect him.

The bandits who carried the boxes were tired, ran slowly, were cut down by the government, and some threw away their weapons and jumped into the lake.

The fifth master took Puzhao into the forest, and four or five officers and soldiers chased after him, and the bandit brothers resisted desperately.

Fifth master, you untie the rope, I will follow you, I will not run.

When the fifth master heard Puzhao's shout, he also felt that dragging the rope was in the way, and he would be chased by the officers and soldiers, so he raised his knife to cut the rope. At this moment, an official chased after him and slashed with a knife, Pu Zhao did not dodge, and only dodged when the knife was close, knocking down the official with a palm. The remaining officers and soldiers saw that this man was strong in martial arts, and they all besieged him.

Pu Zhao broke off a tree branch and waved it left and right like a whip, beating the officers and soldiers with their heads in their hands.

An official was knocked unconscious and rushed to the fifth master. The fifth master stabbed him with a knife, and was suddenly kicked away by Puzhao, which made the official pick up a life.

Fifth master, don't kill, let them go.

When the fifth master hesitated, the remaining officials hurriedly fled for their lives.
