Volume 5 Chapter 15 The Young Little Taoist Priest The Future Boss
There are blood stains everywhere in the side hall, and the pools of blood in some places have solidified into blood tofu, and the pungent bloody breath rushes straight to the noses of the two people, and even the Condor mother and son, who are used to eating raw meat, let out a "cooing" sound with some disgust.
In an ear chamber on the left side of the side hall, the two found dozens of corpses, some of them were Taoist priests in blue Taoist robes, and some were dressed as people in the rivers and lakes.
Dugu walked to the corpse of a middle-aged man in a black suit who looked to be in his forties, and said in a deep voice: "It's Ling Xuguan's Taoist priest, and these are the anti-Jin righteous soldiers under the command of Huo Jingshan, the commander of Chang'an, it seems that the remaining disciples of Ling Xuguan have also joined the anti-gold team." β
Luo Changfeng raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you seen them?"
Dugu asked for defeat and said: "I have seen Huo Jingshan, and I also know this person, when the Great Song defense line completely collapsed, only General Huo's Chang'an was impregnable, but unfortunately in the end, it was defeated because of the internal thieves who collaborated with the enemy." β
"Chang'an fell, but Huo Jingshan did not have a meaningless death battle, he escaped from Chang'an with a group of elites under his command, lurked, contacted the anti-Jin righteous people everywhere, and secretly operated, this person is a capable general under Huo Jingshan's command. β
Luo Changfeng said coldly: "It's a thief again, these damn traitors." β
After speaking, he looked at Dugu and said, "Then how did you get acquainted with them?"
Dugu begged for defeat and said: "Haven't you always wondered why I am missing a sword on my body? Actually, I have a 'crape myrtle soft sword'." β
"Back then, I happened to meet General Huo and they kidnapped the nobles of the Jin Kingdom, misunderstood that they were bandits and kidnappers, and killed and injured several of them with the Ziwei soft sword. β
"After finding out the truth, I felt very guilty, so I helped them kill a few high-ranking officials of the Jin State to pay off their debts, and Ziwei's soft sword accidentally injured the righteous man, which was really a bad thing, so I abandoned it to the deep valley. β
Luo Changfeng turned his head, looked at the corpses of those righteous soldiers, and said in a calm voice: "Since you are willing to kill gold people for them, why don't you insist on doing it and help others to the end?"
Dugu sighed: "I'm just a swordsman, all I pursue is the way of the sword, and the country and the world are a stumbling block to me from finding the way, not to mention ......"
Speaking of this, Dugu looked at Luo Changfeng again, with a hint of self-deprecation on the corner of his mouth, and said: "I am a Xianbei person, one of the 'five hus' in the eyes of your Han people, in the final analysis, I am just an 'outsider'." β
Luo Changfeng was speechless, it is true, Dugu's pursuit of defeat has no reason to help the Great Song Dynasty from a personal or political standpoint.
Personally, as he said, he is just a swordsman, a pure swordsman, he was born for the sword, and all he pursues in his life is the way of the sword.
Even if you are chivalrous and righteous, you just encounter something that is easy to do, but you will not do it specifically.
Therefore, he has a very indifferent view of the country and the nation, and he is completely different from the people of the Murong family.
But no matter how light he looks, he is always a Xianbei person, to put it mildly, he is already very good if he doesn't help Jin Guo to fight the Great Song Dynasty, how can he still be expected to help the Great Song Dynasty fight the Jin Kingdom?
Luo Changfeng sighed lightly and said: "Also, some things, after all, you have to rely on yourself, the dignified Han nation, if you still have to rely on a foreigner, then this country has no future." β
Dugu patted Luo Changfeng on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry! You Han people have experienced many foreign invasions since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, how can you have really been defeated?"
"We are all just a swordsman, not a military general, there are some things, let the people who should worry about it!"
Luo Changfeng nodded silently, now he won't think about it, all he needs to do at the moment is to find the Nine Yin True Scripture.
As for what to do after finding and training, let's talk about it then! As long as there is enough time, he doesn't mind looking for the bad luck of the Jurchen Tartars.
Dugu Qiufu checked a few more corpses, and made a new discovery, "Changfeng, come and see." β
Luo Changfeng walked to Dugu Qiu's side and squatted down, only to see the corpse of the Taoist priest in front of them, with five transparent blood holes on the top of his head, looking at its shape, it was clearly inserted by someone's hand.
The hard skull didn't protect it in the slightest.
Dugu said in a deep voice: "Nine Yin White Bone Claw, it seems that it is the Xuanming Sect that does it, led by the Xuansheng Daoist himself. β
Luo Changfeng stood up and said, "Let's search around and see if we can find anything." β
"Good. β
The two of them took the Condor Mother and Son to search around the Lingxu Temple, and finally found a stone outside what seemed to be a wall or retreat about a mile away from the Taoist Temple.
There is a new tomb here, and there is a tombstone made of wooden boards in front of the tomb, on which is written in blood "The Tomb of the Beloved Wife Yueying", and the inscription is Huo Jingshan.
And the ground around here is full of large and small pits, and the pits are all scorched black.
Luo Changfeng picked up a handful of soil and put it under his nose to sniff lightly, from which he smelled the smell of gunpowder.
It was not uncommon for the Song Dynasty to have gunpowder, and the Song Dynasty itself already had improvised thermal weapons, such as "assault rifles" and the like.
Dugu looked at the new tomb and said to Luo Changfeng, who walked to his side: "It's Mrs. Huo, I didn't expect that she was also poisoned, but since General Huo still has time to bury Mrs. Huo, presumably they didn't wipe out the whole army." β
Luo Changfeng nodded, his expression suddenly moved, Huo Ran turned to look at a bush next to the stone room more than ten zhang away, and shouted, "Who is it?" β
Dugu Qiu also noticed the movement over there, and looked at it with his eyes like electricity.
The next moment, a young Taoist priest wearing a blue Taoist robe and holding a long sword came out of the bushes.
The Taoist priest looked seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked at the Condor mother and son behind Luo Changfeng and the others, obviously trembling in his heart, but he tried his best to make an awe-inspiring appearance.
From his bony eyes, it can be seen that this guy is also a clever and smooth person.
"You...... Who are you, what are you doing here?" the young Taoist priest shouted inwardly, whether it was his trembling voice or his trembling legs, all of them embodied four wordsβstrong on the outside and dry on the inside.
Dugu shook his head with a smile and said, "We are here to help General Huo and Ling Xuguan deal with the Jin people and the Xuanming Sect, where are General Huo and Lotus Sheng Dao Chief?"
The young Taoist priest was stunned when he heard this, but although he was young, he was not stupid, so he did not believe it rashly, but said, "How do you prove it?"
"Prove?" Dugu looked at Luo Changfeng and felt a little embarrassed, how could they prove it?
Luo Changfeng glanced at the young Taoist priest lightly, and said to Dugu: "Why do we have to prove it to him? Originally, we just admired General Huo's integrity, and it was just a matter of helping them." β
"Since others don't appreciate it, let's go directly to the nest of the Xuanming Sect and take the head of the Xuansheng dog. β
Dugu nodded and said, "That makes sense, but do you know where the Xuanming Sect's lair is?"
Luo Changfeng said casually: "As long as you put some effort into these things, you can find out sooner or later." β
Dugu sighed in defeat: "But if there is information about the Lotus Life Dao Chief, we can have a target, which can save a lot of time." β
Luo Changfeng said: "Then what do you say?"
Dugu Qiu Qiu thought for a while, looked at the young Taoist priest, and said, "Little Daoist, what do you think of this? Let's go to Chang'an City to kill a few golden people and get the heads for you to see, is this enough proof?"
"Uh...... This ......" The young Taoist priest looked at the two cautiously, and said hesitantly: "Are you really righteous people who are here to help us?"
Dugu begged for defeat and said: "It's true." β
The young Taoist priest's eyes flickered slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I believe in you, but it will take some time before I can take you to see my master and General Huo, because I want to find my senior brother." β
Dugu nodded and said, "Yes, it turns out that the head of the small path is the head of the Lotus Life Dao, which is disrespectful." β
The young Taoist priest said with a smile: "The seniors are polite, and the juniors Zhou Botong have not yet asked the two high surnames." β
Luo Changfeng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his eyes lit up.
Zhou Botong?, what about his senior brother......
