When the monk saw Gu Sheng, he was stunned for a moment, then folded his hands and said, "Amitabha! The donor is polite. ”

Gu Sheng said: "Daxi! Why are you here? ”

Yes, this monk is Onishi, but why is he here, and why is he a monk? This surprised Gu Sheng incomparably.

At that moment, Gu Sheng hurriedly pulled him into the city and said to him, "Go, I'll take you to General Taihao." ”

When Onishi heard that Taihao was here, he followed behind excitedly and apprehensively.

After a short time, they came to a tent in the camp of Hengchuan City. As soon as he entered the camp, Gu Sheng shouted excitedly: "General Taihao, look who is coming!" ”

As his words fell, Onishi walked into the tent, and when he saw Taihao, he couldn't help but shout, "Twelve......"

Tai Hao heard Onishi's voice, raised his head, and looked at this once his closest companion in surprise, he saw that Onishi was wearing a gray robe, holding Buddhist beads, and his eyes showed a kind of compassion, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness.

"Onishi? You...... How did you end up here? Taihao hurriedly asked.

Daxi seemed to suddenly remember that he was a monk, he bowed to Taihao, and then said: "Amitabha, the poor monk's Dharma name is Zhikong." ”

Taihao instantly felt a shock in his heart, but he quickly calmed down, and let the other generals in the camp leave, leaving himself and Onishi alone in the camp tent.

Taihao asked, "Daxi, why did you become a monk?" ”

At this time, Onishi's heart could no longer be calm, and tears couldn't help but flow out. He put down his identity as a monk and said in a trembling voice: "Twelve, where have you been in the past few years?" ”

Taihao said: "It's a long story, a lot of things have happened and a lot of places have been visited. Onishi, let me ask you, how did you become a monk? ”

Onishi said slowly: "When you suddenly left Pinghe City, we knew that you must have encountered an accident, because there were many traces of fighting in the study and courtyard, and we looked for you everywhere, but there was no trace of you. After Yao Fuji became the emperor, the general's mansion was guarded by his troops, at first only Shaoling could enter and exit freely, and later, after Shaoling and they left, only Jiaoyu, dumb Shan, coriander and me were left in the general's mansion, as well as a few family members and maids......"

When Tai Hao heard this, he interrupted Daxi's words and asked, "I know that Shaoling and Sang Ya were sent by the emperor to take them to Thousand Winds City, and Mao Ru and Nian Yu didn't stay in the General's Mansion?" ”

Daxi said: "The two of them also followed Sanya, when Shaoling and Sangya were about to leave, they were allowed to bring two maids with them, and Sangya came up with a plan to let Mao Ru and Nianyu dress up as maids and leave with her." By the way, your son was also taken away by Maoru. ”

Taihao gasped when he heard this, he didn't expect that he would have a son. Busy asked, "You mean Mao Ru gave birth to a son for me?" ”

Daxi nodded and said, "That's right, not long after you disappeared from Pinghe City, Mao Ru found out that she was pregnant. Then Nian Yu and Ju Yu have been taking care of her. Soon, the child was born, and your son looked like you. ”

Tai Hao muttered, "Why didn't Shao Ling tell me about this? At this time, his heart was turbulent, and he continued to ask Onishi: "What you said is true?" Do I really have a son? ”

Onishi nodded and said, "Of course it's true, twelve, the monks don't speak." ”

Taihao sighed: "It's too sudden, I didn't expect me to become a father so soon." ”

He paused, calmed down, and continued: "Ohnishi, you go on, what happened to you later. ”

"Later, Yao Fuji ordered the raid of the General's Mansion, and the person in charge of the raid was Bi Luojing and the 'Four Demons', and Yu Yu and Dumb Shan fought with them, but they were always at a disadvantage, so I drove a carriage to rescue them, but the 'Four Little Devils' have been in hot pursuit, and then came to the side of a mountain cliff, and the carriage fell into the cliff. I don't know how long I was in a coma, but when I woke up, I found myself lying on a monk's couch in a temple. Onishi said slowly.

Taihao asked, "What about Juyu and Dumb Shan?" Didn't they get back? ”

Onishi said: "I also asked Master Huiren at that time, and when Master Huiren said to save me, I was the only one lying under the cliff, and there was a dead horse next to me. And the carriage was hanging on a big tree about six feet high, and I thought that maybe they were in the carriage at the time, and I fell down the tree because I was outside the carriage. Because I was seriously injured, I couldn't get off and walk on the ground, so I asked Master Huiren to go to the place where I was rescued and look for my companions, and Master Huiren went, but he didn't find them. He also ran to the tree and found the carriage empty. ”

Onishi's words made Taihao fall into deep thought, he knew that the situation of Juyu and Mushan was very dangerous, and they had to be found as soon as possible.

Taihao continued to ask, "Then why did you become a monk?" ”

Daxi said: "Master Huiren is now my master, and when I was in Pinghe City before, Master Huiren said a word to me. He said that I have a relationship with Buddhism, and that at some point in the future, the day I will have enlightenment about the Dharma, it will be the time to meet him again. I think there is a providence in all this! Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental, when I was in trouble, it was Master Huiren who saved my life. In that case, how can I disobey Heaven's arrangement? So, I began to worship Master Huiren as a teacher, and I was ordained as a monk, and Master Huiren gave me the Dharma name Zhikong, hoping that I could devote myself to studying Buddhism, and understand the true meaning of Buddhism as soon as possible and become a real monk. Not only that, but my master also taught me some other skills, such as some basic martial arts and the method of building a house. ”

Taihao nodded and responded, "I see! ”

As if he suddenly remembered something, he continued: "I almost forgot about the matter, when I was cultivating in the temple today, the master found me and said that the army of thieves from the Eastern Empire had come to Hengchuan City and was preparing to attack Yichuan City, but did you know that there is a Dingchuan City between Hengchuan City and Yichuan City?" ”

When Tai Hao heard this, he hurriedly took out a topographic map and spread it out on the table. Tai Hao looked at the topographic map carefully and said, "According to the map, Hengchuan City and Yichuan City are connected?" There were no other cities in between. ”

Daxi said: "This map was drawn by the Eastern Empire, and after Yao Fuji established the Beiyu Empire, he divided Yichuan City into two and built a new city, which is Dingchuan City. The purpose of establishing this city is to set up an additional barrier to protect Pinghe City. However, after Yao Fuji's son Yao Siyi ascended the throne and became emperor, he ordered all the national treasures looted to be placed in Dingchuan City, including the original manuscript of the "Art of War", as well as some long-lost martial arts cheats, and some famous calligraphy and paintings. The reason why my master asked me to come here to meet the leader of the army of thieves was to inform the general of this matter, and that he must not enter Dingchuan City rashly until the last resort, and must protect the safety of the national treasure. Because Yao Siyi has already ordered that if Dingchuan City is lost, let the officers and soldiers in the city burn all the national treasures, and they must not be left to the Eastern Empire. ”

Tai Hao said: "I sent a few spies to infiltrate Yichuan City to investigate the enemy's situation, after some investigation, I learned that there are not many garrisons in Yichuan City, you say only 50,000, but there are a large number of civilians living in the city, among which women, children and children are the most. So did they go to Dingchuan City or Yichuan City? ”

Onishi replied: "If you say so, it must not be Yichuan City, because I heard from the master that Yao Siyi has ordered most of the military forces to be deployed in Yichuan City, and there are only 50,000 soldiers and horses, so it must be Dingchuan City." ”

Tai Hao asked, "Why does Master Huiren know so much about Pinghe City?" ”

Daxi said: "Since Yao Siyi ascended the throne, he has always wanted my master to go to Pinghe City to be a national teacher, but my master has been reluctant to agree. But Yao Siyi would send a guard to my master every day to tell him something that happened in the Beiyu Empire, and let my master give advice, but my master never gave any advice directly, just said ......" As he spoke, Onishi folded his hands and learned the voice of Master Huiren, saying: "Do whatever you want, and be safe when you meet." ”

"It seems that Master Huiren is not willing to help the rebels." Taihao asked, "Onishi, where is your temple?" ”

Onishi replied, "On Mt. Takefu." ”

"Takefu Mountain? Is it Wufu Mountain in the famous 'Nine Sacred Mountains'? Taihao asked in surprise.

Daxi nodded and said: "That's right, it is there, there is a Wufu Temple on Wufu Mountain, and there are eighteen Arhats in Wufu Temple, which was once famous in the rivers and lakes. My master said that he was one of them, but now there are not a few left, and my teachers and uncles are very old, and several of them have passed away. ”

Tai Hao said: "After that, I will definitely go to you to visit Master Huiren, or talk about the siege of the city, did Master Huiren say that it is better to use any strategy to attack the city?" ”

Onishi clasped his hands together and said, "My master said, do whatever you want, and be at peace with what happens." ”

Tai Hao smiled: "In this case, I have to figure out my own way." ”

Onishi continued: "But...... My master said that the city lords and the generals defending the city of Dingchuan City are all descendants of the founding feats of the Eastern Empire's former dynasty, and now that they have surrendered to the Beiyu Empire, there should be something else to hide. ”

Tai Hao pondered for a moment and then said, "Daxi, I'll arrange a place for you to rest first, and I'll discuss the siege strategy with the two deputy generals Gu Sheng and Zhiwei first." ”

Onishi smiled: "I won't rest, the words have been brought, and I will go back to the temple." ”

"Why don't you stay longer?" Taihao asked.

Daxi said: "I have become a monk, and now I am Zhikong, and there is no Daxi in this world." So saying, he went out of the tent and left the camp.

Taihao looked at his back as he left, wanting to say something, but he couldn't speak. He remembered the bits and pieces of the time he had been with Onishi, and those past events seemed to appear in front of him again, which made him sad, and he didn't know how to say goodbye to Onishi at this time.

After a long while, he had been thinking about what to say, and then he took a deep breath and shouted with all his might, "Take care, Onishi!" His voice seemed to suddenly become a little hoarse, but he persevered.

When Onishi heard this, he frowned slightly, he stopped, but he didn't look back, just nodded, signaling that he understood.
