Chapter 57 The children of the rivers and lakes are affectionate and righteous, and they repay their grievances with virtue and let go of spies
When everyone was arguing, they suddenly heard someone talking outside the woods, saying that it could prove that the second elder of Jiangnan was a spy. All the people went out of the woods.
I saw three people standing under the moonlight. One of them was an old monk, his face was wrinkled, his eyebrows were kind, he was tall and thin, and he looked like a monk who had attained the Tao, but none of the people present knew who the old monk was. There was a little monk standing next to the old monk, who was the little monk who received everyone in the Stone Buddha Temple.
The little monk was still holding a man with his hand, a large man, in his forties, with a sickly face and blank eyes. He also has a cane in his right hand.
When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, Qi Wei ran forward quickly, helped this person, and said excitedly: "Dad, where have you been in the past two days, why are you injured?" ”
It turned out that the big man on crutches was Qi Kuohai, who had been missing for two days.
Qi Kuohai's appearance frightened the two elders of Jiangnan. The two old boys thought to themselves, "Isn't Qi Kuohai dead, why did you see the hell?" Sun Xin and Sun Guo winked at each other and quietly stepped back.
Qi Kuohai has been staring at the second elder of Jiangnan since he appeared, and when he saw that the second elder of Jiangnan was about to run, he hurriedly shouted: "Catch them, don't let the spies escape." ”
Although the cause and effect are not clearly explained, everyone also understands a general idea. 'Hula', everyone showed their weapons and surrounded the two elders of Jiangnan in the middle.
Ye Feng drank and asked: "Second elder Jiangnan, the one who knows the times is Junjie, do you still want to resist?" ”
The two elders of Jiangnan saw that they couldn't run, there were more than a dozen people on the other side, and they couldn't beat them, so they obediently threw the steel knife to the ground, put their hands behind their backs, and waited for them to be tied.
Xiuchen and Shi Kun shook Yuwang Shenshuo alone, and grabbed the three-section stick alone, taking care of the two elders of Jiangnan.
Qi Kuohai was supported by the little monk and Qi Wei, walked in front of everyone, and explained to everyone the old monk first, "Everyone, this senior monk is Master Haiyuan, the abbot of the Stone Buddha Temple, and is my savior. ”
Everyone stepped forward to salute Master Haiyuan, and Qi Wei even knelt down and kowtowed to the master, thanking him for saving his life.
Subsequently, Qi Kuohai introduced the incident to everyone.
It turned out that this master Haiyuan was a master of medical Taoism, known as the 'Puhua Ten Directions Divine Doctor Monk' in the rivers and lakes, and he was also the master of Lu Hongzhang, a good friend of Qi Kuohai's 'Ghost is difficult to take', and Lu Hongzhang's medical skills were learned from Master Haiyuan.
On the night when Sun Guo assassinated Qi Kuohai, Master Haiyuan happened to collect night dew in the woods and prepare to prepare medicinal materials. Inadvertently bumped into Sun Guo assassinating Qi Kuohai, because Master Haiyuan did not know martial arts, he could only hide quietly in the shadows, and after Sun Guo left, he quickly dug Qi Kuohai out with a shovel that collected medicinal materials.
The old monk probed Qi Kuohai's snort, and there was no snort at all, and he listened to Qi Kuohai's heart, and his heart still had some slight beats, that is, Master Haiyuan could only hear it if he was a famous medical artist, and he couldn't hear it if he changed to a second person.
Master Haiyuan hurriedly returned to the Stone Buddha Temple and called his apprentices. The master and apprentice quietly carried Qi Kuohai back to the Stone Buddha Temple from the back door of the temple on a stretcher, and Master Haiyuan told the apprentice that the people in front of him had not yet distinguished the good from the bad, and this matter must be kept secret.
After two days and two nights of non-stop healing, Master Haiyuan used a lot of high-grade medicinal materials to bring Qi Kuohai back to life. Later, after introducing each other, the two are still quite related.
Qi Kuohai suddenly remembered that since the second elder of Jiangnan was a spy and could harm Qi Kuohai, he could also harm others. Wouldn't it be very dangerous for Li Yi and Ye Feng and the others, not to mention that his son Qi Wei was also over there. So Qi Kuohai proposed that he should immediately catch up with everyone.
Master Haiyuan said: "Mr. Qi, your injuries are too serious, and you have to cultivate for a year to recover, how can you still hurry." ”
Qi Kuohai begged and said: "Master, saving people is like fighting fire, I want to go one step late, Li Yi's dozen or so people all have to die, I have to go if I don't want to give up my life, I beg the master to let me go." ”
Master Haiyuan saw that Qi Kuohai was a friend, and he was also quite moved, nodded and said, "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I won't force you to stay." ”
Qi Kuohai kowtowed and thanked the master.
"I have one condition, though." Master Haiyuan continued, "My apprentice and I are going to accompany you. ”
Qi Kuohai, who was frightened, hurriedly saluted, "Master, by all means, I am going to fight this time, you and your apprentice do not know martial arts, and your life will be in danger if you go with me, absolutely not." ”
The old monk waved his hand, stopped Qi Kuohai, and said, "This time, your body still needs to be regulated, without me by your side, you will definitely not be able to catch up with your friends." And we just went to report the news, we can hide when we encounter the enemy, we don't have to fight, three, you and my apprentice Lu Hongzhang are lifelong friends, and they are also my sons and nephews, how can I not care. ”
Qi Kuohai was about to speak, but Master Haiyuan sank his face and said sternly: "It's decided like this, there is no need to say more." "It seems that this old monk is tougher than anyone else, and Qi Kuohai can only obey orders.
Master Haiyuan prepared a pair of crutches for Qi Kuohai, brought some medicines, and asked the little apprentice to support Qi Kuohai to chase after Li Yi, Ye Feng and others.
Fortunately, Li Yi, Ye Feng and others slowed down their journey in order to wait for the news of the beggar disciples. When Qi Kuohai and the others caught up with Li Yi and the others, they were just in time for Ye Feng to ask the second elder of Jiangnan, and Qi Kuohai exposed the identity of the second elder of Jiangnan in person.
When Qi Kuohai finished speaking, everyone was angry.
Qi Wei pulled out the mountain opening axe, Qi Wei's martial arts were personally taught by his father Qi Kuohai, and he also used the mountain opening axe. "I'll split these two shameless people and hang them out." Qi Wei jumped over and was about to slash and kill the second elder of Jiangnan.
"Wait!" Qi Kuohai shouted and stopped Qi Wei. Turned to the second elder of Jiangnan and said, "I have been friends with your brother for more than ten years, why did you harm me, don't you still say it?" ”
The second elder of Jiangnan lowered his head and said: "Since you have been caught, if you want to kill or scrape, you can do whatever you want, there is no need to say more." ”
Qi Wei carried the big axe and said viciously: "Dad, since they are looking for death, what are they polite, just kill it." "As he spoke, he had to do it again.
"Slow, only allow him to be unkind, don't let me be unjust, read the relationship we have had with for more than ten years, just spare them this time." Speaking of this, Qi Kuohai glanced at everyone with his eyes, meaning to ask for everyone's opinions.
The god killing king Ji Changhai and the iron palm copper stick Shi Kun both have a relationship with the two elders of Jiangnan, so it is inconvenient to say more. And Li Yi and Ye Feng's gang came later, originally took refuge in Qi Kuohai, knowing that Qi Kuohai had been going south and north for so many years, and he was the most righteous, and it was not easy to refute Qi Kuohai's face. Only Qi Wei gritted his teeth angrily, but his father made a decision, and he didn't dare to say anything.
And Master Haiyuan is a monk, and a doctor, he will be the main teacher, save the dead and help the wounded, taboo killing, Qi Kuohai deeply appreciated the generosity, folded his hands, and said: "Amitabha, Lord Qi is really merciful and compassionate, good!" Wonderful! ”
Qi Kuohai returned the salute to Master Haiyuan, "The master praised it falsely." He turned around and said to the second elder of Jiangnan: "Today I will spare your lives on behalf of everyone, I hope you will do it yourself in the future, go." ”
The second elder of Jiangnan looked at everyone suspiciously, and saw that everyone did not stop them, so he believed that he really let them go. They leaned over and picked up their steel knives and hugged their fists at Qi Kuohai, "Mr. Qi, thank you, farewell." The two turned around and left, walked more than ten steps, stopped again, turned back to Qi Kuohai and whispered: "Be careful of Jiang Wenjie", after speaking, they turned around and rushed down the mountain.
"Be careful of Jiang Wenjie." This sentence stunned Qi Kuohai for a moment, and thought to himself, "Who is Jiang Wenjie?" I don't know Jiang Wenjie either, why do they want me to be careful of Jiang Wenjie. "The more I think about it, the more confused I become.
However, this sentence frightened Li Yi and Ye Feng, Jiang Wenjie, they knew each other too well, they were their enemies. But Jiang Wenjie is now the assassin of Huizhou, in the officialdom, and in power, how can he have anything to do with the second elder of Jiangnan, could it be that the second elder of Jiangnan was not Qi Kuohai, but us.
Xiao Tingyu was just about to ask Ye Feng, "Senior Brother Ye, ...... Jiang"
Ye Feng was afraid that everyone would be suspicious before the matter was clarified, and it would be bad to have infighting, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, I will definitely figure it out in the future, and now it is important to hurry, so there is no need to guess." ”
Xiao Tingyu saw that Ye Feng deliberately concealed it, so there was no need to say anything more.
Everyone rested in the woods until dawn, and finally decided to divide the troops into two routes, Li Yi and Ye Feng took Xiao Tingyu, Xiuchen, Yu Debiao, Ji Changhai and Shi Kun to follow Tang Xiaojun to continue to rush to Huizhou to support the general rudder of the beggar gang. Qi Wei and Master Haiyuan took their apprentices to escort Qi Kuohai to the Stone Buddha Temple to recuperate.
Press Qi Kuohai not to watch, single table Li Yi and Ye Feng led everyone, without saying anything all the way, and entered Huizhou City on this day.
Tang Xiaojun led the way in front and led everyone to a compound with a plaque hanging on the door of the compound that read: 'Deshun Dyeing Workshop'.
According to Tang Xiaojun's introduction, this 'Deshun Dyeing Workshop' is the helmsman of the beggar gang, and in order to facilitate the beggar gang, the dyeing workshop business is used as a cover.
At this time, outside the gate, there was already a group of people standing waiting for everyone, the first one, in his fifties, medium build, chubby face, eyebrows bent, the corners of his mouth raised, and a natural smiling face. Seeing Li Yi and others coming from afar, he walked a few steps forward, clenched his fists and arched his hands, and said with a smile: "Everyone came from afar, Li has missed the welcome, forgive the sins, forgive the sins." ”
Tang Xiaojun hurriedly introduced to everyone, this is Li Mengran, the leader of the beggar gang.
Li Yi, Ye Feng and the others didn't expect the beggar gang leader to greet their juniors in person, they were really flattered, and hurriedly bowed to the ground and said, "The juniors have seen Senior Li. ”
Although Li Mengran is not too old, as the leader of the beggar gang, his seniority is quite high, according to his generation, he should be the same generation as the Venerable Master of Northern Kunlun and Qinglian, Li Yi and Ye Feng naturally have to give great gifts.
Li Mengran laughed, "You don't have to be polite, the so-called chaos in the rivers and lakes, we have our own opinions, if you don't dislike it, just call me an old brother." ”
Everyone didn't expect Li Mengran to have such a high status and be so approachable, and they all felt a lot closer.
Li Mengran invited everyone to the living room, sat down as guests, and celebrated.
And when evening came, they all dispersed to rest. Li Yi and Ye Feng changed into night clothes, so they wanted to break into the tiger's den in Longtan and explore the Shifu at night.
