Dozens of miles north of Heianjing, there is a mountain about 200 zhang high, this Kurama Mountain also. The southern foot of the mountain, the treasure temple is solemn, and this Kurama Temple is also.

Kurama Temple, the master of the sea to see the truth, the master of the sea to establish the mountain, so far more than 200 years.

There is a valley behind the temple, it is the place where the monks of the past dynasties are burying the bones in the temple, and the name is the valley of the monks.

The monk is upright, the title of the monk is also, "The History of the Great Song Dynasty Monks" has a cloud: "Positive, the government is also; Self-righteousness and uprightness, restraint decrees are also cloudy. Cover the bhikshu can't, such as the horse has no bridle, the ox has no rope, gradually dyed the customs, will be obedient, so there is a virtuous person, with the law and the rope, so that the return to the right, so the monk is also right. ”

In a word: the first seat of the Precept Academy.

Seng Zheng is also known as the Law Seal, under which is the monk capital, the monk is also known as the law eye, under which is the lawyer, the lawyer is also called the law bridge.

Kurama Temple monks are in the valley, there are monks who practice here, the surname is the ghost one, I don't know its name, people call "the ghost one law eye".

The ghost eye is famous for its swordsmanship, and he lives in a simple place, and every time he appears in front of people, he must wear a mask with a red face and a long nose. The small people don't know the truth and the truth, and they all say that he is a monk who is reincarnated as a tengu, that is, "the great tengu of the monk Zhengfang of Kurama Temple".

On this day, the Oni Dharma Eye was meditating, and suddenly a monk came to report, and a royal messenger came to see him, and the Oni Dharma Eye received a lot of offerings from the royal family, so he put on a mask and ordered the messenger to enter the valley.

The messenger hurriedly walked to the original, saluted, handed over the letter, and when the ghost looked at it, his eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "With the power of one person, I can kill a hundred people, and I can do it." Send more people to encircle and suppress, why do I need to go into battle? ”

The messenger whispered: "His Majesty the Emperor invited Yasu-sama Abe to personally watch the stars and divination, and the divination hexagram said: The Heavenly Demon King came to the west by dragon, the nine-tailed fox was conceived, the sixteen ghosts disturbed the world, and the blood of Heianjing was stained with moss!" According to the scouts, the man crossed the sea across a whale, which was as big as a mountain, and Abe-sama was expected to be the dragon king. ”

Hearing this, the ghost was indifferent for a moment, slowly straightened his waist, and said in a deep voice: "Abe Yasu's skills are not inferior to his ancestor Harumi-sama." Since it is his divination, it is indeed not to be underestimated. The free demon is the enemy of the Buddha, and it must be the Buddha's hand that wants to fake me to get rid of this fang! ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly rose up and shouted: "You go and report to the Emperor, I will kill the heavenly demons on the shore of Lake Biwa and defend the country." ”

At the same moment, Cao Cao frowned and said coldly: "You don't need to look for it, your servant must be a spy sent by the enemy." ”

Sakabe Ichiro's face was ugly, and he shook his head and said, "How can this be?" This man has been following me for more than three years, how can he be a spy? ”

Cao Cao sneered: "That can only mean that three years ago, you were already targeted by the enemy. ”

It turned out that three days ago, in a battle outside the dense forest of Echizen Country, Cao Cao killed 100 people, Shi Qian and Sakabe two plundered the formation, and no one escaped, but the next day the camp woke up, and several servants of Sakabe Ichiro suddenly disappeared.

When Cao Cao was not met before, Sakabe and his entourage went to Heiankyo and were repeatedly assassinated along the way, this Kumasaka Nagafan was the most brave in battle, and was deeply expected by Sakabe Ichiro, who was going to recommend it to the lord Fujiwara Nagami as his samurai, but he was unexpectedly gone at this time.

Seeing that Sakabe Ichiro shook his head in disbelief, Cao Cao didn't want to say more, but he whispered in front of Yuzao in the sedan chair: "Father-in-law, don't you have any doubts?" We came from Nasuno, how secret are our whereabouts? But why has the enemy been able to contain us so often? ”

Sakabe Ichiro's body was shocked, and he exclaimed: "Because among us, there are spies? ”

He looked at the remaining six servants viciously, including the six people including Shinobu Hattori, and immediately shook his head quickly, Ichiro Sakabe looked away, and his expression gradually became hideous: "Is it really Kumasaka-kun?" In vain I have treated him so well! If I meet again, I will kill him. ”

Yuzao said softly: "If he is really a spy, I am afraid that the information that Lord Wuzhi and Lord Shiqian helped us at this time is already in the hands of Emperor Shirakawa......"

Sakabe Ichiro gritted his teeth and said, "In this case, we can only rush desperately, I hope that Lord Nakayana will get the news and can send someone to support." ”

At the moment, I was in a hurry, and when I walked to the evening, I saw a big lake in front of me, which was extremely vast, and the surrounding mountains were undulating, reflected in the lake, which made people feel open-minded, Cao Cao and Shi Qian praised in unison: "What a big park, it is really extraordinary." ”

Sakabe Ichiro was very proud when he saw the two "envoys of the kingdom" praising the scenery of his country, and pointed out: "This Lake Biwa is also! From north to south, nearly 100 miles long, we will walk along the lake and arrive at Heiankyo. ”

Cao Cao looked around, but saw that the mountains were high and dense, and only the lakeside road was conducive to traffic, and sighed: "In this way, if the enemy wants to intercept it, it will be easy. ”

When staying overnight by the lake, Sakabe Ichiro took his servants to catch fish in the lake, and when he saw an opportunity, he pulled Cao Cao aside and whispered: "Brother, since you know that if you go along the lake, you will inevitably encounter enemies, why don't you go into the mountains and detour?" ”

Cao Cao said: "This time I got involved in Fusang by mistake, I have missed a lot of time, I finished this early, and I can find a boat to return, if I go around in the mountains, I don't know how long it will take." ”

Shi Qian was puzzled: "If you are in a hurry to return, why should you be involved in the affairs of the Fusang people? After abandoning these people, my brother and I went straight to Heianjing, and why is it difficult for my younger brother to come up with some means to get some gold and silver? Find a port, buy a boat and walk. ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "But it's not!" Brother, I didn't intend to come here, since the providence is here, but I have a separate idea - this Fusang country, just east of the Jin country, the whale sea, it doesn't seem to be very big, I think, if one day we wait for a big war with the Jin country, from then on send a soldier and horse, across the sea can go straight to the heart of the Jin country, but what is it? ”

Shi Qian was shocked when he heard this, and then he knew that Cao Cao wanted to set up a big situation, and couldn't help but say: "Then Fusang Country has its own lord, how can it be easy to send troops?" ”

Cao Cao smiled: "This is the reason why I don't abandon them!" That Nakayan Fujiwara Nagami, obviously a person from the emperor's faction, now Fuso is authoritarian, all in the hands of his grandfather, Emperor Shirakawa, hehe, the ashes have been picked up on his grandson's head, he is the emperor, how can he be willing? Isn't it the time when the two emperors of the French and the emperor are fighting each other? ”

Shi Qian exclaimed: "I see! It was only a few days after my brother arrived in Fusang, and he set such a grand plan, which was really extravagant! Just look at his situation, but the emperor is weak, if he is defeated, what will happen? ”

Cao Cao rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "If it weren't for his weakness, how would I do it?" As for how to lose, defeat is defeated, you and I are wearing treasure armor, an art industry, it is not difficult to escape, if you can't escape, you will escape from that Heianjing, don't look for a big city, you will show your skills, and make some money to buy a boat back. ”

Shi Qian thought about it, and couldn't help laughing: "It's that the younger brother thinks too much, anyway, it's the matter of his Fusang country, so he just makes a big fuss, if he can get it, it's naturally the best, if he can't succeed, he should come to play with his brother - hahaha, the younger brother also thinks that the reason why the younger brother is willing to be a guard is because he likes the Fusang mother-in-law, if so, the younger brother has a sweat medicine and takes her back to Qingzhou with him." ”

The more he spoke, the happier he became, and his eyes lit up: "Hey, brother! In this way, that little lady from Fusang is jade-looking and beautiful, which is rare in the world. What kind of bird-tailed emperor does the little brother think, how can he be a match for such a beautiful woman? Didn't this woman tell her fortune and say that she had a concubine? I can't say that it should be on my brother. ”

When he said this, Lao Cao was stunned: My brother is right!

Lao Cao's husband's true colors, how can he be completely unmoved by such a face in front of Yuzao? It's just that the other party is the daughter of Yidi, and he looks down on him a little, and the second is that he has seen the strength of the Jurchen, and he doesn't think about how to break it.

But when the time moved to mention, especially the words "the concubine's share", it really spoke to Lao Cao's heart.

Just like Lu Pheasant, the queen of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, also had a Xiangshi saying that it is "noble in the world", such things are like auspicious, although it is difficult to say whether it is true or false, but it is inevitable to believe that it is not believed in it, that is, it is true in their own hearts, and the people will inevitably take it seriously-

Otherwise, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang got into trouble, what fox to call?

In addition, the appearance in front of Yuzao is indeed rare and rare, especially for Lao Cao, this small Fusang woman has a wonderful thing - he now has three wives and concubines, Hu Sanniang is known as "Yizhang Qing", Li Shishi is also long and jade, although Pan Jinlian is exquisite, she is still half a head taller than herself, although the husband is not informal, but who is really willing to be inferior?

Especially in this Fusang, after experiencing the taste of "superiority" that he has never tried in his life, Lao Cao suddenly became fond of the delicate and small woman with excellent proportions.

After rolling his eyes more than a dozen times, Lao Cao smiled and waved his hand: "This matter will be discussed later, when I see the Emperor Toba, I have my own opinions." ”

Lake Biwa from north to south, about 100 miles long, around the lakeside, but it is far more than that, and two more days, still between the lake and the mountains, at this time it is noon, the sun is unstoppable, Cao Cao several drilled into the shade, want to rest for a while, wait for the day to be a little gentle, and then hurry.

Everyone took out water and dry food, and was about to use some food, when suddenly they saw a strange person swaying in front of them.

The man was dressed in a hat and a hat, covering his face and figure, and walked with his head bowed, shaking a fan in his left hand and a long staff in his right hand, and walking unhurriedly.

When Lao Cao saw this person, he immediately felt a little displeased: How can there be such an elder in the dignified Fusang country?

Looking at the size of this person, I am afraid that he is up and down six feet, and Fang is nothing in Song Jin, but it is a little appalling in Fusang.

Ichiro Sakabe and the others also saw the comer, and Sakabe whispered, "Oh! What a mighty man! ”

Then he seemed to think of something, and was suddenly shocked: "Ahhh Could this big man be a master sent by the Emperor to intercept and kill us? ”

Cao Cao nodded and said in a low voice, "The day before yesterday, when you passed by that village, didn't you say that someone stole their horses?" In my opinion, it was the spy who stole the horse and galloped to Heiankyo to report the news. Hehe, since you know that there are two brothers to help you, if you only send one person, you must be a real master! ”

Sakabe Ichiro shook his head and said: "Master Wu, don't be arrogant, you are not only as simple as killing a hundred people, those who are light and down, the samurai who were killed by you are all famous masters of Heiankyo, but they withered under your sword like cherry blossoms." In the face of a peerless sword saint like you, even with the arrogance of Emperor Baihe, he didn't dare to send just one person to death, maybe ...... Just passers-by. ”

Ichiro Sakabe has been away from Kyoto for more than ten years, but he doesn't know which characters have appeared in Kyoto in recent years, so he made such a judgment.

Cao Cao said: "But you don't have to think about it, it's just that the soldiers will come to block it." ”

After that, the few people stopped looking at the strange man and took care of their own food.

The strange man walked with a cane, and the sound of Duo Duo came from far and near, until he walked a few feet beside Cao Cao and the others, before he stopped, and a somewhat strange voice came from under the hat: "The Tang Sword Saint who came across the dragon is you." ”

Cao Cao sighed: "That's it, it's really an enemy." Slowly stood up: "Needless to say, if you want to fight, you will fight, and I will have to hurry after the fight." ”

Shi Qian secretly thought to himself: My brother just said that if this person is an enemy, he must be a master, since he is a master, how can he let his brother take risks? If I don't strike first, I will be defeated, and my brother will be able to take the opportunity to get a glimpse of the reality!

At the moment, the monster shouted: "Hidden head and tail of the rat, and watch me 'drum flea' uncover your face!" ”

The voice was still echoing, the person had jumped high, the slingshot in his hand was full, and at the opening of the string, several cold lights either shot straight or flew obliquely, and even a light circled an arc and shot towards the back of the comer!

Shi Qian's slingshot has always been a steel ball, and his accuracy and strength are extremely good, but he killed all the scouts before, and he got some hidden weapons of the scouts, especially the "shuriken" mentioned by Sakabe Ichiro.

Those shuriken, or three-pointed, or four-cornered, or five-star, six-cornered, Shi Qian has not stopped playing with his hands in the past few days, his hands are far better than ordinary people, and after a few days, he has really played with the shuriken.

He didn't think his hand was far enough, so he simply used a slingshot to shoot, and by virtue of the different angles, he hit different flight paths, and now he can shoot five at a time, straight or curved, fast and slow, which is really difficult to prevent and dodge.

Ichiro Sakabe shouted, "Good means! "A cold sweat broke out in my heart: if these shurikens are against me, I am afraid that I will definitely die!

However, the strange man smiled lowly, the fan in his hand, as if fluttering a butterfly, a few taps, and then all the hidden weapons up and down, left and right, did not turn back, the long staff in his hand was back, but listening to the ding, the hidden weapon behind it was also blocked, listening to the crisp sound, its staff is either iron or copper.

Shi Qian always remembered the words "real master" that Cao Cao said, and the shuriken was issued, and then he abandoned the slingshot, felt the lock and sickle in his hand, cut his head immediately, and kicked his foot below, and the iron stone at the other end of the chain flew out sharply, hitting the opponent directly.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he was about to applaud, but he saw the other party jump back, fluttering and falling a foot away, and the sickle was smashed, and all of them were empty.

This is exactly what it is: the sword light of the magic eye in the valley is cold, and the sickle is entangled by the lakeside. The tengu and the demons meet on the narrow road, and the wind rises to cross the sea and mountains.
