55, the deceased
Li Guxing stayed where he was, waiting quietly, not daring to make any more noise, the monk on duty had not gone far, but another monk who had changed shifts had already come, these two monks were on the same page, their fists were invincible and their hands were not to mention, which alarmed the group of masters with high moral and respected martial arts on the mountain, and this life was wasted.
The moonlight is sultry, the breeze is warm, and there is an indescribable comfort with the red leaves on the mountain, and it is not very difficult to wait quietly in the same place.
After about half an hour, only to hear the monk's footsteps go farther and farther, his heart gradually relaxed, and he sat on the ground to rest for a while.
At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he sat up and looked around.
The monk who changed shifts just now was not far from him, how could he not find him? Even if he is a new monk, he can afford to take on the heavy responsibility of guarding the mountain gate, and his strength is definitely not much worse.
After looking around, the ground was clean, all dead branches and leaves, and there was no trace of half of feces and urine.
Li Guxing said in his heart: "Could it be that the monk is lying? Why? Are you protecting me? ”
He was in a state of turmoil, and he was stunned on the spot for a while.
Suddenly, he felt that the moon shadow in front of him was getting darker, and a figure appeared behind him, but he heard the person behind him whisper: "Amitabha, the little monk has found you." ”
Li Guxing's hair exploded, and like a frightened cat, the hairs stood upside down, and even the long flowing hair stood up.
"Kunlun Hundred Flower Palm!"
Li Guxing himself slapped a palm from front to back, the palm technique was exquisite, the palm power was strong, and he was surprised, expecting that this palm would definitely be able to shock the monk to faint.
Halfway out of the palm, I felt a counter-shock force coming towards the palm, and after a muffled sound, the palm power dissipated.
"Why did the donor come out of his hands, is he testing the little monk's martial arts?"
Li Guxing listened to his voice without any hostility, temporarily suppressed the fear in his heart, stood up, turned around and clasped his hands into fists and saluted, "Thank you for keeping your hand." ”
The monk smiled and said, "Why did the donor say this? ”
Li Guxing said: "I was frightened for a while, and slapped him obliquely, if you have a heart, just aim the move at the back of my heart, and I won't be able to live." ”
The monk nodded with great satisfaction after hearing this, as if he was judging Li Guxing, and his eyes were even more loving with the elders, "In this way, it is not in vain that the little monk has worked hard." ”
Listening to the meaning of compassion in these words, Li Guxing already believed that this monk did not mean to be difficult for himself nine times out of ten.
He looked at the monk's face, his face was quite weathered, and the corners of his eyes were a little wrinkled, he looked quite old, plus this strong martial art, he should have been a powerful character in the martial arts, and I don't know why he came to Maple Leaf Temple to be a monk guarding the mountain gate.
The monk seemed to know what Li Guxing was thinking, and before he could speak, he said to himself: "The little monk came here to escape into the empty door in order to repay his kindness, and the donor didn't ask." ”
Li Guxing was stunned, laughed embarrassedly, and said: "I was originally a disciple of Bai Xiao Zhenren of the Kunlun Sect, and Zhao has no money. Because of a dispute with the master, he came down the mountain, and came to find the abbot of the Maple Leaf Temple, Master Yongjue, to mediate for the juniors, and asked the master to report on his behalf. ”
The monk was polite, and recited the Buddha's name with his hands together, "The little monk is an honest man, and the donor said so, but he bullied the little monk." ”
Li Guxing's lies came as soon as he opened his mouth, although he was full of flaws, but thinking that the monk of Maple Leaf Temple had always been wooden, he was not afraid that this lie would be exposed, and he was articulate, even if there were loopholes, he could prevaricate the past, and he could quarrel with people like Zhao Wuqian, even if he couldn't reverse black and white, it was not much worse.
"What did the master say, how could I deceive the master?"
The monk said: "The donor said that he wanted to find the abbot of the temple to mediate, but the donor's matter is the internal matter of the Kunlun faction, and it is inconvenient for my Maple Leaf Temple to intervene, not to mention that the abbot of my temple Yongjue Master Su has no contact with the head of the Kunlun faction, and the donor is a smart person, how can he find the abbot of the temple to mediate?" ”
Li Guxing was stunned, he didn't expect the monk in front of him to be so smart, he had been to the Maple Leaf Temple, and thought that the many monks of the Maple Leaf Temple were speechless with a sharp mouth, and thought that the monks of the Maple Leaf Temple were honest and honest and not good at words, but he didn't expect to meet such a articulate lord today, and he suddenly felt apprehensive, and carefully said and did.
"The master's words are wrong, my master Bai Xiao Zhenren and Master Yongjue have been friends for a long time, both of them are masters in the world, and the master admires Master Yongjue's pure and flawless personality, and often chant in his mouth. He wandered the rivers and lakes all his life but did not have a chance to meet Master Yongjue, if he could see each other, it would be enough to comfort his life, if not, how could I come all the way from Kunlun Mountain to Maple Leaf Temple? ”
The monk nodded, smiling rather than smiling, "The donor's speech is still as clever as ever. ”
His eloquence is not much worse than Zhao Wuqian, and no one in the Kunlun Sect in the rivers and lakes does not mention this big treasure of Bai Xiao Zhenren, and his iron teeth and copper teeth have long been spread all over the rivers and lakes, but he didn't think much about it.
Li Guxing replied: "I'm just telling the truth. ”
The monk said: "Even so, the donor should come during the day, visit the mountain gate in a bright and bright manner, and walk on a remote path. Could it be that the donor left Kunlun Mountain, and he was afraid that he would not be able to find it by his fellow disciples? ”
"This ......" Li Guxing rolled his eyes, and he already had a countermeasure.
"Didn't I just come all the way here, hungry and lost, penniless and without a place to rest. You monks of Maple Leaf Temple won't be so stingy, and you won't even give you a place to live. ”
The monk took a long breath, shook his head one after another, and paused for a while before saying, "In that case, please come with me." ”
Li Guxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that the monk didn't believe it, and this reason was far-fetched and even he didn't believe it. As the monk walked out, he walked into the main road of Maple Leaf Temple.
It is said that the main road is actually not much better than the small road, the narrow road is simply paved with stone steps, and the monks and pilgrims who have gone up and down the mountain for many years have stepped down in the middle of the stone steps, which has traces of time.
The stone steps lead to the temple gate, and a path winds and turns to see the end.
It is not easy to escape from such a road, and it is possible to fall down the mountain if you are not careful, the mountain is not steep, but rolling in the mountain will inevitably break the tendon and fracture.
Li Guxing became more and more frightened the more he walked, thinking of the temper of the monk Yongjue, and then thinking of the unfathomable monks in the Maple Leaf Temple, he didn't dare to go anymore.
He originally wanted to go up the mountain, knock out a monk, put on his clothes and blend into the temple, and listen to what Monk Yongjue was planning for his own mouth. If there is some room for manoeuvre, he will beg for mercy, and then ask about his father, and if the monk Yongjue still holds a grudge against him, then he will find a way.
At this moment, before entering the mountain gate, he was suspected by a monk on duty at the mountain gate, and he didn't want to find death, how could he go up the mountain so rashly. And the monk is neither wooden nor honest, he may have already found out that he was sneaky, and he really followed him up the mountain, afraid of the sheep entering the tiger's mouth, and immediately found an excuse.
"I see it's getting late, why don't I come back tomorrow?" Li Guxing said carefully, although it was a consultative tone, there was already an undeniable meaning in his words.
It's that the monk doesn't let him go, and he smears oil on the soles of his feet, which is easier to deal with a monk than to deal with a group of monks.
Even if there is a sentry in the Maple Leaf Temple, he will run with all his strength by performing light skills, and it is unlikely that he will be caught by the monks.
The monk stood in place after hearing this, a smile leaking from the corner of his eye.
Li Guxing's body had already turned sideways, "Master, I'll go first!" ”
Just as he was about to lift his foot, the monk's words made him stop, "Li Guxing, don't run away, I'm here to help you." ”
"Shhhhh Li Guxing froze, didn't move, turned around and wondered: "How do you know it's me?" ”
The monk clasped his hands together, "I said, I'm here to help you, otherwise how could I help you get rid of your senior brother?" ”
"You...... Did you do it all on purpose? I was still wondering if you were using the trick of inviting you into the urn with me. ”
The monk smiled, with a lot of disdain, "As the donor just said, I want to deal with you, just slap you in the back of the heart, why bother so much." ”
Li Guxing smiled and touched his head with his hand, "It turns out that you have already seen through that I am not Zhao Wuqian." ”
The monk said: "The son of the deceased should always take care of it in many ways, I advise you to leave as soon as possible, Li Daxia's matter is not something that a junior like you can touch." ”
Li Guxing's heart tightened, his heart rose to his throat, and his voice changed in shock, "Do you know about my father?" ”
The monk shook his head, "I don't know, but I firmly believe that Li Daxia will never do anything to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason!" ”
"Li Daxia??" Li Guxing was stunned, he hadn't heard such a title for a long time, when he was young, he could still hear others call his father Li Daxia, and after entering the Jinyi Guard, this Li Daxia was never heard again, replaced by a cold voice of Master Qian.
"You're the old man before your father joined Jinyiwei."
The monk paused, nodded again, and recognized it, "Have you ever heard of a thousand miles of swords, and the sword does not leave a soul?" ”
Li Guxing's eyes rolled upward, his thoughts surged in his mind, and in the deepest part of his memory, he suddenly thought of a name, a fierce man of evil ways that everyone feared and hated at the beginning, Sun San was defeated!
"Y-You're not dead?!"
The monk smiled brightly, "What the donor said is somewhat rude. ”
Li Guxing felt ashamed, and smiled innocently, "You have disappeared in this martial arts for more than twenty years, if I hadn't seen you in Jinyiwei's file, I wouldn't know your name." You have disappeared for more than 20 years, many people think you are dead, and even the Jinyi Guard records the news that you have died. ”
"Yes, the previous Sun Sanshi was dead, and now there is only one monk named Xinkong alive."
"It's good to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot." Li Guxing smiled, his father was deceased, which made him feel somewhat kind.
Monk Xinkong said: "I've been waiting for you to tell the truth, although the monks here are stupid, they are not stupid, you are not a smart person to go up the mountain so rashly." ”
Li Guxing's face turned red when he was poked by him, he now also felt that what he did was too childish, and it was a shame that he met his father's deceased person today, if he was caught by other monks, plus this set of rhetoric, he really didn't know what the consequences would be.
"I was also carried away, that's why I made this decision, you know, what Maple Leaf Temple means to me."
Monk Xinkong didn't know Li Guxing's thoughts, he himself was like this, in order to repay his kindness, he retired to the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and this time he re-entered the empty door of the rivers and lakes, just for the things of the year.
"It's all over, you go back tonight, and tomorrow you can bring your friends to worship the mountain together."
Li Guxing's heart was happy, that is, he didn't let himself go and wanted to find a chance to escape, and bowed to the monk Xinkong to resign, suddenly paused and asked, "How do you know that I am coming today?" ”
Monk Xinkong was stunned for a moment, "The little monk has his own news." ”
Li Guxing smiled indifferently, flipped his palm, and used full skill, "Hundred Flower Palms!" ”
