Chapter 119: A Chance Encounter with an Old Friend

They went to the city to look for the two women, and after an hour they returned to the inn, saying that they had not seen anyone like them.

"Qiu Lin has been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, how powerful his vision is, he saw Lan Ling'er and the five of you in the main hall, he must have felt the danger, so he left this town, so we can't find the two of them at all, in order to avoid being discovered by her next time, we have to act secretly, if she startles the snake and she crosses the green ridge, it will be difficult for us to catch her again."

Master Kongkong's analysis was unanimously agreed by everyone, and Lu Bucai said, "Then let's stay here for another day." ”

"It is estimated that the Shadowless Man and the Paju Gobu will arrive this evening, everyone must be careful, and it is best not to go out." Master Empty said.

Don't go out, Zhu Yu happened to study the big and small I Ching, he locked himself in the room, carefully studied the small I Ching, and practiced Qi according to the description in the book, and at noon the next day, he had mastered all the Qi training methods on the Little I Ching, and the next step was to practice according to the law, and the internal force would penetrate, and then he could practice the exercises on the Great Yi Tendon.

Zhu Yu decided to go to the yard, so he pushed the door out of the house and walked into the yard.

This inn is very large, there are hundreds of rooms, so Zhu Yu and they live in a single room, the yard is more than ten zhang, there are three or five trees planted in the courtyard, a circle of flowers and plants, although it is early winter, but the yard is luxuriant, quite a bit of spring taste.

Xiao Er of the inn said that these flowers and trees are evergreen plants brought from all over the world, and some of them bloom in all seasons.

On weekdays, Zhu Yu is busy practicing martial arts, and has no time to take care of him, today has nothing to do, so he stands by the flower platform, carefully admires the flowers and plants in the flower platform, Zhu Yu found that these flowers and plants, although the leaf shapes are different, the flower shapes are different, but every grass, every flower grows harmoniously, and it is eye-catching to look at horizontally and vertically, which is the manifestation of nature's great power of creation, but why do people have to be so bumpy?

While admiring the flowers and plants, Zhu Yu pondered the philosophy behind nature and human beings, and was suddenly interrupted by a burst of talking.

"Shop, do you still have a room? We're going to stay in a hotel. A middle-aged man's babbling voice sounded outside the store.

Zhu Yu found that the man's voice was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while, so he unconsciously walked to the door of the store, looked out, and found that it was Luo Lin's father standing outside the door, Luo Mai, the helmsman of the Youzhou Branch of the Tianlong Sect.

On both sides of Luo Mai, there are two people standing, Zhu Yu also knows, one on the left is called Zhang Guan, and the other on the right is called Li Dai, who is the most powerful cadre under Luo Mai, and there are seven or eight strong men behind, leading more than ten horses, immediately carrying some bags, it looks like a small caravan.

Zhu Yu didn't want to disturb the people who were resting in the room, walked out of the hotel, came straight to Luo Mai, saw Luo Mai with his fists, and said, "Uncle Luo Mai, why are you?" ”

"Isn't this Zhu Yuxian's nephew? How did you end up here? Luo Mai knew Zhu Yu and was very surprised to see him suddenly appear here.

"Uncle Luo, Brother Zhang, Brother Li, you stay first, and then I'll come over to talk." After Zhu Yu finished speaking, he turned around and called the store to arrange a room for Luo Mai and his subordinates.

Zhu Yu called Luo Lin and asked him to meet his father, and then found Master Kongkong and told him about seeing Luo Mai.

"Oh, Tianlong Mountain North Youzhou rudder? What kind of dart is this? Running such a long way! Take me to see it. Master Kongkong said to Zhu Yu.

Master Kongkong and Zhu Yu came to Luo Mai's room, and Luo Mai was talking to Luo Lin.

After seeing Master Kongkong, Luo Mai pointed to a one-foot-square wooden box on the table and said, "This time I came from the capital to send a Buddhist scripture to the Golden Horde, and then I brought a Buddha finger relic back to worship." ”

"Buddha relics? This is the supreme sacred relic of Buddhism, which temple is the dart. Master Empty asked.

"It's the Huangjue Temple in the capital." Luo Mai said.

"Oh, I went to Huangjue Temple to preach the Fa, it is a royal temple, worshiped by the royal family, and there are more than 1,000 monks, why don't you use officers and soldiers, but let the folk dart bureau do this." The Sky Master asked.

"The temple is worried that the officers and soldiers will come forward, and the movement will be too big, and it will be easier to be targeted by the monks of the Western Regions, because the Buddha refers to relics, which is unique in the world, and no matter which temple wants to worship, and the yoga master I brought is also the original Sanskrit book, the only one in the world, and it is offered to the Buddhist temple, and the monks can't ask for it." Luo Mai said.

"In this way, it was the Huangjue Temple that exchanged Buddhist scriptures with the Golden Horde." Zhu Yudao.

"What is the exchange, the value of the two is very different, but a monk of Huangjue Temple went to the Golden Horde, saw the Buddha's true finger bone relics in their royal temple, and agreed with the other party to welcome him back to China and worship for ten years, in order to show his sincerity, he used the scriptures as a mortgage." Luo Mai said.

"And such wonders, can you show me the scriptures?" Zhu Yu asked with a smile.

"The scriptures can be read, but when you get the Buddha's finger relics, you can't read them, I heard that they are sealed with strict regulations, and when you get to the worship point, you have to hold complicated ceremonies before you can open them."

Luo Mai said as he opened the box and took out the scriptures.

Zhu Yu and Luo Lin opened the scriptures and found that there were some words written on it that they couldn't understand, so they couldn't stop shaking their heads and sighing: "I can't understand, I can't understand." ”

"Don't say you can't read it, even I can't read it, but this scripture, when I was in Huangjue Temple, the abbot master once asked me to watch it, from a secular point of view, its text is pasted with gold leaf, just by virtue of this, this scripture can be regarded as a priceless treasure." Master Empty said.

"Master Luo Mai, this dart you protect is so important, and it is based on the principle of confidentiality, we are inconvenient to disturb, we also have to go to the Green Ridge, we will give you a response if there is anything on the way, we will leave it at that." Master Kongkong got up and said goodbye to Luo Mai.

"Okay, we're all walking with other caravans, and others don't know our details, so it's fairly safe, so we'll see you on the way." Luo Mai arched his hand and said.

The next morning, everyone got up and prepared to continue their journey, Zhu Yu quietly asked the shopkeeper: "Has the caravan from yesterday left?" ”

The shopkeeper said that he looked around and whispered, "The caravan left on the fifth watch, and it has been an hour away now." ”

Xiao Er took everyone out of the store, at this time, there were still few people on the street, it seemed deserted, everyone followed Xiao Er to the east into a small alley, walked along the alley for more than 100 zhang, to the north, walked a section of the street, and to the west, came to the city gate.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a big road out of the city gate all the way to the west, and you can reach the countries of the Green Mountains, and I will send you here." Xiao Er finished with a smile, turned around and went back.

In the past two days, everyone has rested well, and walked very briskly, and after a while, when I look back, the city is no longer visible.

Everyone walked forward for an hour, only to see the road ahead of the vast dust, as soon as the wind blew, there was a feeling of covering the sky and the sun, Master Lu Bucai said, there is a caravan in front, let's go faster, overtake them, and barely eat ashes behind.

Hearing this, everyone quickened their pace, and after a while, they caught up with the caravan in front.

"Oh my God, with so many people, can a caravan be so big?" Lan Ling'er couldn't help but be surprised when she saw that there were no less than four or five hundred merchants driving horses or camels in front.

"This is a large caravan composed of countless caravans, because this is out of the control of our dynasty, within a thousand miles of the surrounding area, there are dozens of small countries, between countries, some are good, some are bad, and the relationship is chaotic, so there are strong men who flow between countries, so the small caravan is easy to be robbed, and they dare not walk alone, so there is such a large caravan that is temporarily put together." Master Rufeng said.

"Yesterday, I heard from the shopkeeper that the city we left had a caravan every day from the east, west, north and south, and set off at sunrise in the morning, and after that, those large and small caravans would gather at the four city gates and set off together, and if it was late, they would have to wait until the next day to dare to leave, which was indeed a spectacle." Yan Kun said.

Zhu Yu, Luo Lin, Lan Tian and Lan Ling'er, when they overtook the caravan, deliberately searched for Luo Mai and Youzhou's helm rudder, although Lan Tian and Lan Ling'er did not see Luo Mai yesterday, but after he Zhu Yu and Luo Lin said, they also knew Luo Mai's itinerary.

Sure enough, in the midst of everyone, they saw Luo Mai and his men, in order not to be suspected by others, the two sides just signaled with their eyes, and went their own way.
