Chapter 5 Jianghu

Although Leng Tianfeng's tone was indifferent, the thank you was very sincere, and he could feel it the day after tomorrow, and he also knew that Leng Tianfeng's arrogant personality was not as unrestrained as him, so it was already unprecedented to be able to thank him. On the contrary, Lin Su and the others felt that it was nothing, after all, they had known Leng Tianfeng for a short time, so they didn't know Leng Tianfeng's temperament, so they didn't know how much this simple thank you meant.

"Where are you going next?" asked the day after tomorrow casually.

"I don't know," Leng Tianfeng was slightly stunned, "I didn't expect that I would survive today, so I didn't plan to." ”

"Then let's go together, walk around, look everywhere," the day after tomorrow looked at Leng Tianfeng, then at Su Jingxuan, and continued, "Today we escaped together, Dongchang will definitely think that we are accomplices, arrest together, let's just go together, and have a care." What do you say, Miss Lin?" shouted at Lin Mengting with the last sentence the day after tomorrow.

"Of course you can," Lin Mengting looked at Leng Tianfeng coldly, but said to the day after tomorrow: "In this way, I also have a chance to kill him and avenge the fellow sect of the Tianshan faction." As he spoke, he couldn't help but hold the knife in his hand.

Su Jingxuan, who was on the side, gently held her hand and said softly: "Senior sister, I'm tired today, you might as well take a rest first." ”

Lin Mengting looked at Su Jingxuan and didn't say anything more, Su Jingxuan smiled apologetically at Leng Tianfeng, Leng Tianfeng was noncommittal, just sat down cross-legged quietly, and didn't know what he was thinking.

In this way, the four of them were speechless for a while, just sitting dry, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward. Leng Tianfeng closed his eyes and crossed his knees, ignoring everything; Lin Mengting held the knife tightly in her hand, as if she might draw a knife and slash at Leng Tianfeng at any time; Su Jingxuan sat between the two, separating the two, with a slightly nervous expression on her face, lest they fight, only shaking her head and looking around the day after tomorrow.

"Oops!" suddenly screamed the day after tomorrow.

"What's wrong?" Su Jingxuan had just relaxed a little, and her nerves tensed again.

"I still have something very important to take," the day after tomorrow looked anxious, "That's my net worth." ”

"Where is the thing?" At this time, Leng Tianfeng also opened his eyes, "What is it?"

"You don't care about anything, it's very important in short," the day after tomorrow is now like an ant on a hot pot, and he is about to run around in a hurry.

"Then you can just go and get it back. Lin Mengting suddenly interjected.

"That's right," the day after tomorrow clapped his hands, "then you wait for me here, I'll be back early tomorrow morning, don't run around." The day after tomorrow, he didn't wait for the reaction of several other people, turned over his horse, and walked away.

Su Jingxuan looked at Leng Tianfeng with an anxious face and asked, "Will it be dangerous for him to go alone?"

Leng Tianfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "He won't, just wait for him." "He knows the day after tomorrow too well, and he always does what he wants, and he thinks of one play after another. However, he is strong in martial arts, and even if he is in danger, he should be able to escape with his whole body.

Su Jingxuan looked at Leng Tianfeng, wanting to speak and stopping, but she didn't know what to say. She knew too well that Leng Tianfeng's true identity was gone, and now that she finally had the opportunity to sit next to him, she also wanted to talk to him more and get closer. But who knew that after sitting down, she didn't know how to speak, and Leng Tianfeng gave people a feeling of rejection thousands of miles away, which really made her unable to speak.

"The surname is Leng," Lin Mengting suddenly said to Leng Tianfeng, "Since we are all here today, then I will make everything clear." ”

"Huh?" Leng Tianfeng had doubts in his eyes, but he didn't speak, just snorted lightly and waited for Lin Mengting to continue.

"I've always had a clear grudge," Lin Mengting cleared her throat and continued, "You actually have no grievances with our Tianshan faction, I know that you were only under the orders of Dongchang before, so the culprit who poisoned my Tianshan faction is not you, so if you tell me if there is any way to kill Chen Gelding, the grudge between me and you will be written off." ”

Leng Tianfeng looked at Lin Mengting, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Master Lin, you are really exalting me too much, my official position is just a small Jinyi Wei General Banner, how can I know what way to kill the overseer of Dongchang, I really can't do anything." ”

"Aren't you his adopted son?" Lin Mengting looked disdainful.

"Yes, I am indeed his adopted son, and I don't know my background, so I was adopted by him since I was a child," Leng Tianfeng replied in an extremely cold tone, "But I have never entered his room since I was a child, he has always guarded against me, four years ago, my junior sister was killed by him, since then, although I am still a person from Dongchang, but we have completely broken up, and his vigilance against me is growing day by day, so I really don't know anything about what you want to ask." Leng Tianfeng's words were extremely indifferent, as if he was telling someone else's story.

After Lin Mengting heard this, the anger that had just been suppressed in her heart burned again, and she said angrily: "Okay, since I can't kill Chen Gelding now, the account will be on your head." ”

Leng Tianfeng looked at Lin Mengting's face and said with a smile: "Then forget it on my head, you can kill me at any time, I will fight back, but don't worry, I will never kill you." ”

Hearing Leng Tianfeng's words, Lin Mengting was stunned, and she didn't know what to say, Su Jingxuan on the side suddenly interjected and asked: "Young Master Leng, forgive the little woman for being presumptuous, may I ask why you didn't kill us when you were in the Tianshan Mountains, I asked the other disciples about the process of fighting with you, and it is not your style to stop suddenly." ”

Leng Tianfeng sighed, looked at Lin Mengting, and said, "Because Master Lin looks too much like a person." ”

This is the answer that Lin Mengting and Su Jingxuan definitely didn't expect, the two looked at each other, speechless for a long time.

After a long time, Lin Mengting spoke again: "The surname is Leng, and it is rumored on the rivers and lakes that you are a teacher of the Ghost Yanmen, right?"

"Not bad. ”

"Then let me ask you, do you have a senior brother in the Ghost Flame Gate who looks good with a smile and a Chu character tattoo on his left shoulder?" Lin Mengting hurriedly asked, with a hint of anxiety in her tone.

"Do you know him?" Leng Tianfeng's tone was still flat, but he was very shocked in his heart, thinking, "So she remembers?"

"Is he still in the Ghost Flame Gate now?Is he doing well?" Suddenly, Lin Mengting's eyes lit up, as if she had said what she cared about the most.

"It's not good," Leng Tianfeng secretly smiled bitterly, "He has already left the division, and now he is not having a good time, maybe you will meet him on the rivers and lakes one day." ”

Lin Mengting didn't speak again, but her eyes revealed an indescribable excitement, Su Jingxuan on the side looked at Lin Mengting with a smile on her face, she understood what Lin Mengting thought, for so many years, Lin Mengting has been waiting for that person, even if she hasn't seen it now, she doesn't know where the person is, but seeing each other in the rivers and lakes is always worth looking forward to.

After a night without a word, the three of them waited quietly in the valley for the day after tomorrow. It wasn't until the next day, when the morning light was slightly dewed, that I saw the day after tomorrow hurrying back.

"The day after tomorrow, your uncle, believe it or not, the old lady really hacked you to death. When Lin Mengting saw that she would come back the day after tomorrow, she was suddenly angry, and she was really ready to draw her knife against her.

Su Jingxuan hurriedly grabbed Lin Mengting and said, "Senior sister, junior sister, don't be like this, it's insulting." ”

Lin Mengting pointed to the day after tomorrow and said loudly to Su Jingxuan: "He went for six or seven hours, and he brought back a broken ox cart, aren't you angry?"

Leng Tianfeng looked at the day after tomorrow, shook his head and smiled, only to see the day after tomorrow lying on his dilapidated ox cart, turning into that sloppy appearance again, and asked, "Just to get him?"

"Otherwise?" the day after tomorrow was puzzled, thinking, "What happened to my ox cart?

"The day after tomorrow," Lin Mengting pointed at the day after tomorrow with a knife, "Didn't you say that this is your net worth?

The day after tomorrow scratched his head helplessly, and said helplessly: "Then I'll show you." Saying that, he got up and opened the two large wooden boxes that had been placed on his body, and it was okay not to open them, but when he saw it, he jumped the other three.

As soon as the first box was opened, it was suddenly filled with gold bars, about five taels each, and hundreds of them, and some scattered silver mixed in with them. Another box, a lid opened, dazzling flowers, a large box full of jade, pearls, agate, jadeite, none of which is not worth a huge amount of treasures. A vermilion coral tree alone is priceless, the coral is more than two feet high, the whole body is crystal clear, it is rare that there is no damage, not a grain of sand and stone mixed, it is extremely beautiful.

"Where did you grab this?" Lin Mengting looked at the day after tomorrow with a surprised expression.

"What to rob, my family's, my father passed the family property to me before he died, this is my thing," the day after tomorrow looked helpless, "Four people wander the rivers and lakes, they always have to use money, I don't hurry up to get it back." ”

"Cut, I don't believe you can have so much money," Lin Mengting took a sip and expressed her doubts, "This has long been spread in the rivers and lakes, as soon as your family died, you sold all your family property, and then scattered all your family wealth, and you have nothing to do every day to do chivalrous deeds, can you have money?" ”

"Hehe, you don't understand this," the day after tomorrow suddenly smiled evilly, "I don't expose my wealth." ”

Originally born in Hangzhou rich merchant family, his father moved to Hangzhou with his family from the north to avoid the war when he was young, so the day after tomorrow to learn the family's northern accent, and the soft accent of the south of the Yangtze River is very different, under the efforts of his grandfather and father for many years of business, the family business gradually grew, and became a well-known wealthy businessman in Hangzhou. As the so-called "poor literature and rich martial arts", if it is a poor family, it is generally necessary to let the children concentrate on their studies and seek fame when they grow up. Only the children of rich families can ignore the problem of food and clothing, concentrate on martial arts, and be at ease.

Since he was a child, he didn't like to learn literature and only loved to practice martial arts, but fortunately, he was not a scholarly family at home, and his family did not ask him to gain fame, so he had to practice martial arts. I don't want to get older but more and more wild, thinking about fighting swords and rivers and lakes all day long, doing chivalrous and righteous, running out every day, walking for several months, and I don't know where to go, but gradually mixed up with the name of "Dragon Wolf Knife", and the name is getting louder and louder. Later, the people in the rivers and lakes learned that he was actually the son of a wealthy businessman in Hangzhou, and they couldn't help laughing off their big teeth.

It turns out that the rivers and lakes are not as carefree as they think, fighting swords and rivers and lakes, and acting chivalrous and righteous, and they must not first have money to fill their stomachs? The rivers and lakes have their own rules, and although the so-called martial arts family is famous, secretly which one is actually not a rich squire, they all use the name in the rivers and lakes to expand their own power, and then make money in business, otherwise how can they afford to raise a large family. In addition, the head of the sect accepts apprentices not only to inherit the martial arts of the sect, but also to expand his own power, accept more apprentices, after entering the door, the master manages food, clothing, housing and transportation, and those who have achieved martial arts can handle affairs for the master, manage the land of their own sect, sometimes they also collect some registered disciples to collect some tuition, and sometimes they are also entrusted with the work of a bodyguard, earn some scattered silver to supplement the family, and some of the promising may enter the palace of the feudal kings in various places to become the guards of the palace, which is also considered superior. Only those who are idle, have no relatives and no reason will go around to do chivalrous deeds, fight for a good name, and then continue to follow the old path of their predecessors after making a name for themselves in the rivers and lakes.

Therefore, a rich child like the day after tomorrow, who has no worries about food and clothing, is not at home to enjoy happiness, and only thinks about the rivers and lakes, in the eyes of others, can only be described as "fool". If you think about it carefully, even places like Shaolin Temple and Daxiangguo Temple have their own fields and temple properties, not to mention others. As the saying goes: "Young children are old in the rivers and lakes", young heroes are high-spirited when they go in and out of the rivers and lakes, but after a while, they become those people they may least want to become, and there are a few people who really get out of the mud and are not stained. It is really because the rivers and lakes are bright on the surface, but they are intricate in secret, so Dongchang had to be ordered to rectify the forces in the rivers and lakes, and those squires and rich martial arts families were afraid of offending the imperial court.

Two or three years ago, the day after tomorrow's parents died, grandparents have passed away for many years, he returned home to take over the family property, originally the rivers and lakes all thought that he would run his own business from then on, and then less involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but who knew that just two months later, the day after tomorrow suddenly announced that he would sell his property, and the third of all the money was distributed to the family, and the rest was distributed to the poor people in Hangzhou, and he himself only left a broken ox cart, and since then one person and one ox continue to roam the rivers and lakes. This act once again stunned the people in the rivers and lakes, and since then, the rivers and lakes have been mentioned again and the day after tomorrow have called them "two fools".

At this time, the day after tomorrow continued: "My little thing has already spread on the rivers and lakes, and I guess you all know it, so I won't say anything, but this property was left to me by my father, and I can't let people rob it, and I don't care about it myself, so I just sold it." ”

"Then what? The rivers and lakes all said that you gave all the money to the people in your family and the poor people in Hangzhou City, is it true or false?" At this time, even Su Jingxuan began to wonder.

The day after tomorrow, seeing that the other three were staring at him, he could only say helplessly: "It's divided, but it's not all given to those people." I took a small part of the money and distributed it to the family and the poor, and then I spent money to hire people to spread the news around the rivers and lakes that I had scattered all the family property, and the poor were only left with an ox cart, so that no one would care about my money in the future, and a poor man drove a broken ox cart to the rivers and lakes, who would care about me," he looked at the other three people looking at him with strange eyes, and he could only continue, "You said that I am not stupid, how can I really not have any money left, right?"

Leng Tianfeng snorted coldly: "You are a fool." Lin Mengting rarely chose to support Leng Tianfeng's words and nodded, while Su Jingxuan covered her mouth with her sleeves and smiled silently.

"The day after tomorrow, since you have also taken the things back, you can continue to explore your rivers and lakes," Leng Tianfeng said coldly, and then said to Lin Su and the others, "Two girls, say goodbye." ”

The day after tomorrow and Lin Mengting hadn't reacted yet, but Su Jingxuan was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "I don't know where the son is going?"

Leng Tianfeng looked at Su Jingxuan, but his eyes glanced at Lin Mengting inadvertently, and then said lightly: "I have my own affairs to deal with, if you two want to avenge the people of the Tianshan Sect, you can come to me at any time." Without waiting for the other three to react, he turned around and performed light skills and walked away, leaving only Lin Mengting's anger, Su Jingxuan's disappointed and the day after tomorrow's shocked expression independent in the wind.

It has just entered May, but the weather in the Central Plains is already very hot, and the streets of Luoyang are crowded with people at this time. The streets are full of pedestrians, and although it is only early in the morning, it is still bustling.

Leng Tianfeng was wearing a black shirt and a hat, cautiously observed the surroundings and then sat down in a small shop, saying that it was a small shop, but it was actually a small stall, with a few shabby tables, but there were many people eating morning food. Among them, a few big men are dressed as people from the rivers and lakes, and several people are talking about the recent events in the rivers and lakes with their voices raised.

"Shopkeeper, let's have a bowl of spicy soup. Leng Tianfeng casually asked for a morning meal, and ate it casually, and by the way, he secretly listened to those few Jianghu guests talk about some recent things in the rivers and lakes.

One of the high rollers snorted and drank spicy soup, and said loudly: "You say, it's strange recently, there are some strange things on the rivers and lakes, two months ago the Dongchang Dharma field was robbed, half a month ago a lama dared to go to the Shaolin Temple to make trouble, the key is that three days ago, there were actually two Shaolin Temple Panruo Hall monks were killed, and even many sects on the rivers and lakes have people killed mysteriously." ”

"That's right," the other person chimed in, "You just say that this Dongchang has been suppressing us people in the rivers and lakes for all these years, who knew that it would be robbed by someone, it's really strange." ”

"I really don't know the details, so let's hear about it. Another person quickly interjected, for fear that he would not be able to hear any details.

The high-roller who spoke first cleared his throat and said loudly: "In two months, in the West Market of the capital, Chen Yueting, the overseer of the East Factory, Chen Gonggong, wants to behead his righteous son Leng Tianfeng in public......"

"Cold Sword?" the other asked.

"Yes, it's him," the previous person said, "It was said that he colluded with the Tianshan faction with the intention of being unfavorable to Dongchang, and then somehow that second fool 'Dragon Wolf Knife' rushed to the execution ground the day after tomorrow to save people, not only that, I heard that Lin Mengting and Su Jingxuan of the Tianshan faction were really saving people at that time, it seems that Leng Tianfeng and the Tianshan faction colluded to do something." ”

"Hey, then you said that if we help Dongchang kill Leng Tianfeng, will Dongchang also give us a half-official position? There was a person next to him with golden eyes and saliva that was about to stay, and he had fallen into the dream of being promoted to become rich.

"This is also a way, you say that we, the individual travelers in the rivers and lakes, are not like those martial arts families, either rich or powerful, just rely on themselves to fool around on the rivers and lakes, if you mix up a name, if you can't mix, you can rest here in this life, so if you can do things for the government, then it is really a way out, if you can have something to do with Dongchang, then we will be able to raise eyebrows in the rivers and lakes in the future." ”

"I've heard more than that," another person said, "In the past two months, many martial arts people in Beizhili and Henan provinces have been killed, I heard that they were all killed with one sword, and all of them were frozen wounds, blood coagulated, and at first glance, it was the hand under the cold sword, this Leng Tianfeng is really crazy, isn't such indiscriminate killing to be the enemy of the entire rivers and lakes?"

"That's what I'm talking about," the man from before took over again, "I heard that two days ago, someone broke into the Shaolin Temple at night, and the first seat of the Pranyo Hall was killed, and the blood all over his body condensed into an ice pick and stabbed out of the body, which is the same as the ice palm used by Leng Tianfeng rumored in the rivers and lakes." ”

"yes, yes," the man next to him quickly agreed.

The man continued: "Three days before the assassination of the first seat of the Pranya Hall, it seems that there was an Uszang Lama with an iron rod who went to the Shaolin Temple to make trouble, and wanted to compete with the Shaolin monks, I don't know if he will be in the same group as Leng Tianfeng. ”

Leng Tianfeng, who was seated, was shocked in his heart, and suddenly remembered the iron-roded lama named Suo Lang he had seen at the Ningxia Weiyi Station before he went up to Tianshan, "Could it be that he is the one who is making trouble?"

At this time, the high-rollers beside him continued to talk loudly: "I have also heard of that lama, but I only heard that he is from Ushi, and in the past two months, he has been looking for people to compete in our Central Plains territory, and it seems that he has not been defeated so far, and no one knows his name, which is very strange. ”

"Right now, Dongchang is arresting Leng Tianfeng everywhere, and Shaolin Temple is also widely posting heroes, wanting to unite people in the rivers and lakes to eliminate harm for martial arts," a high roller said loudly, "If you want me to say, Master Praruotang was assassinated two days ago, and the time is still short, Leng Tianfeng's guy may not have gone far, and he must still be in Henan, this is a great opportunity for us." ”

"What do you say?" asked the person next to him.

"If we kill Leng Tianfeng, it will be a great reward for Dongchang, and we will also avenge Shaolin Temple, Shaolin will definitely buy us face in the future, if this thing is done, we will be very famous in the future, hahaha." ”

"That's true, then we might as well hurry up and let the brothers go around, and we will definitely make Leng Tianfeng's wings inescapable. ”

A few people made up their minds to arrest Leng Tianfeng in exchange for the scenery in the future, so they didn't stay longer, slapped a few copper coins on the table, and hurried away.

Leng Tianfeng saw that they were far away, and sighed softly, he didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble would always find him. On that day, he and Lin Mengting were separated, and they left the border of the capital and traveled all the way south, at this time he was already free, and he didn't need to rush back and forth like before, so he bought a green donkey and wandered around aimlessly all the way. In this way, two months passed, and it was not until today that I arrived in Luoyang.

Who knew that it had been less than half a day since he arrived in Luoyang, and he heard here that he had actually become a public enemy of martial arts who killed most martial arts people, and he did not hesitate to let Shaolin Temple publish heroic posts, he smiled bitterly, he actually had this kind of face, I really couldn't imagine it.

Leng Tianfeng originally wanted to taste the taste of Hu spicy soup, but at this time he was no longer in the mood, if those who were killed by the sword, the wounds were frozen, and the blood was coagulated, if it was just like this, they could be framed by using Yin Han internal strength, but the death of the Shaolin monk was unique to the Wu Xuan Ice Condensation Technique, and others could not imitate it, it seemed that this was very strange. He still remembered that his master had warned him that this secret book of the Void Condensation Ice Technique was his father's relic, and even his master had never seen it, so Leng Tianfeng had always thought that he was the only one in the world who knew the Void Condensation Ice Technique and the Ice Quan Palm Technique, and never thought that there would be someone who could pretend to be there. It seems that there is a lot of information behind this matter, and we have to guard against it.

Leng Tianfeng felt a pang in his heart, since he had been framed, he might as well stir up the water more mixed, he sneered, hurriedly finished eating the spicy soup, wiped his mouth with his hand, put a few copper coins on the table, turned over and stepped on the green donkey, and drove the donkey out of the city.

Songshan Shaolin Temple is located in the southeast of Luoyang, the distance is only more than 160 miles, at most a day away, but Leng Tianfeng is afraid of being targeted by Dongchang and Jianghu people, so he deliberately bought some dry food to take with him before going out of the city, and prepared to go to Shaolin Temple far away, found a deserted path, and tried to avoid the crowd. He put the money bag on his body and thought, "I don't have much money, I should have taken more if I had known." It turned out that when he retrieved the ox cart the day after tomorrow, he had opened two boxes to let them see the belongings inside, and Leng Tianfeng took advantage of the other three people's inattention to carry the two gold ingots into his arms, so he would only have money to use in these two months.

Although Leng Tianfeng's personality is not withdrawn, but his temper is also very eccentric, since the death of his sister Xuan Ningyu, he has become more and more gloomy, so he has no friends in the rivers and lakes, but because of the reason of belonging to the East Factory, there are many enemies, before he had his own identity as a Jinyi Guard and the relationship of the East Factory, but now he has become a fugitive, and he does not need to be pressed by the East Factory, but he is afraid that the enemy will come to the door first.

While slowly driving the donkey, he thought about what to do in the future, but after thinking for a long time, he still had no clue, he sighed silently, and had to take one step at a time.

In May, Shaomuro Mountain is already a green ocean, the lush mountain forest seems to be full of life, and there are occasional bird calls in the mountain forest, which is more agile, and only feels solemn and slightly Zen in the distance. At this time, the bell rang from the temple in the mountain, the sound was not loud, but it spread far away, and there seemed to be a magical power in the place where it passed, which could calm people's hearts and forget the grievances in their hearts.

Shaolin Temple was founded in the ninth year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty, which is the ancestral garden of Zen Buddhism and is known as "the first temple in the world". Although the monks of Shaolin Temple are famous for their martial arts on the rivers and lakes, they have always taken the promotion of Buddhism as their own responsibility, although they are Mount Tai Beidou on the rivers and lakes, but the monks have always looked down on the false name of the rivers and lakes, and have not had the heart of dominating the martial arts.

At this time, in the Shaolin Temple, the monks of the whole temple gathered in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, sitting cross-legged, for the body of the first Qingming master in the Panruo Hall placed in front of the incense case. Buddhism has a saying of cause and effect, everything has a cause and effect, although people die, but their wishes have been fulfilled, it is detachment, that is, death, and there is no sadness.

After a long time, the monks of the temple recited the mantra of death, and the younger disciples all had red eyes and were extremely sad, while the older monks had already looked down on life and death, and there was no sadness on their faces. Master Qingjing, the abbot of Shaolin, looked at the monks, with no joy or sadness on his face, but he just ordered the monks to retreat and leave a few elders behind.

"Senior brother," said the abbot of the first void master of the Dharma Academy, "The transcendence ceremony has been completed, and the abbot is still requested to take care of other matters." ”

"Senior Brother Qingkong," Master Qingjing replied indifferently, "Senior Brother Qingming once said before his death that he was most tired of red tape in his life, and that the monks were obedient and obedient, and he had already jumped out of the red dust, so he didn't need to be vulgar, just cremate and put the ashes relics into Tallinn, and nothing else." The pure abbot sighed, "We might as well follow Qingming's wishes, I don't know what a few junior disciples think?"

Several other eminent monks proclaimed the Buddha's name and had no objections.

At this time, Master Qingjian, the first seat of the Discipline Academy, said: "Senior brother, senior brother has a little doubt, I don't know whether to talk about it. ”

"Amitabha, Senior Brother Qingjian doesn't have to be formal, but it's okay for you to talk about it. ”

"In that case, Senior Brother, I want to ask, then what should we do next, since we have determined that the murderer is Leng Tianfeng, will we take revenge on Senior Brother Qingming?" Master Qingjian said what he wanted to ask.

"Amitabha, Senior Brother Qingjian, why don't you want to catch the murderer to avenge Senior Brother Qingming, but there are doubts about this matter, although I have posted a heroic post, but I still don't dare to make a conclusion. The abbot said slowly, not seeing any flustery on his part.

"Senior brother," Qing Jian was a little anxious, "That Bing Quanzhang is Leng Tianfeng's unique mastery, who else in the rivers and lakes will use it?" Several other senior monks couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement when they heard what Master Qingjian said.

"Senior brother, Lao Wei is just a little curious, that Leng Tianfeng just escaped from the execution ground of Dongchang, but why did he commit murder everywhere in the rivers and lakes," Master Qingjing still didn't see impatience, "At this time, he should be hiding from Dongchang's pursuit everywhere, but he is causing trouble everywhere, don't you think this is unreasonable?"

"This..."Qing Jian was speechless for a while, yes, the doubts of the pure abbot were also what he had thought, if the current Leng Tianfeng still dared to commit murder everywhere, this was absolutely unreasonable.

"Senior Brother Qingjian," Master Qingjing continued to say slowly, "I know that you and Qingming have grown up together since childhood, and they have a very good relationship, but this is a matter of human life, don't be careless, you are a monk, although this matter is urgent, you must not lose your concentration." ”

"But how to explain that Bing Quanzhang, this is Leng Tianfeng's unique martial arts, and the people in Dongchang can't. Qing Jian thought for a moment and continued.

"Unique martial arts?" Master Qingjing smiled slightly, "I don't think so." ”

"Hmm, I don't know, please show me. Qingjian clasped his hands together.

"A few junior disciples," Abbot Qingjing looked at his junior disciples and said lightly, "Several of us have been monks and cultivators for more than forty years, and we are all witnesses to the affairs of the temple, so I would like to ask you, junior disciples, do you remember the young man surnamed Chu more than 20 years ago?"

"Senior brother is talking about the young man who calls himself Chu Yang?" At this time, the first emptying master of the Dharma Academy said, "Senior brother said this, I do remember that when he came to my Shaolin to challenge, he also used an extremely cold internal skill, but his martial arts were not great at that time. ”

"Senior Abbot, I remember him too," Master Qingjian continued, "I was also slapped by him at that time, and it felt as if the blood in my whole body was congealing and would burst out. ”

"Exactly," the abbot smiled, "do you remember the martial arts anecdotes that Master told us when we were young?"

"I wonder which story Senior Brother is referring to?" the Master of Emptying was slightly puzzled.

"Master once said that more than 300 years ago in the Northern Song Dynasty, the remnants of the Demon Gate had established an organization called Tianji, specializing in assassination and assassination, when there were four holy envoys of heaven and earth Xuanhuang in Tianji, whose code names were Love, Fufeng, Leng Yan, and Long Yu, and then somehow, these four people turned against each other in the sky, and finally the four of them destroyed the sky, and then they retired to the rivers and lakes, and there was no news. Master Qingjing said slowly, "That Xuanzi makes Leng Yan's real name Chu Yan, and he is good at a Yin and Cold internal skill, and his usual palm technique is Bing Quanzhang, which was sporadically learned by others at that time, although there are only a few moves, it is enough to shock the rivers and lakes, so the prestige of Bing Quanzhang will be spread in the rivers and lakes for hundreds of years. ”

"Senior Brother Qingjing, I also remember this story that Master told, but I don't know what your intention is to bring it up again at this time?" Master Qingjian still didn't understand what the abbot meant.

The pure abbot didn't think about it, and continued: "We believe that the murderer is Leng Tianfeng just because the martial arts are similar, but the descendants of Chu Yan will also know that Yin and Han internal skills, and whenever I think of the young man named Chu Yang for more than 20 years, I can't help but guess that he may be the descendants of that Chu Yan." Speaking of this, the abbot of Qingjing paused, thought for a moment and continued, "Maybe the real murderer is really a descendant of the surname Chu." ”

"But the Chu family hasn't set foot in the martial arts for hundreds of years, why did it appear again at this time? Master Qingjian didn't dare to agree with the abbot's speculation.

Hearing Qingjian's words, the abbot of Qingjing suddenly sighed, then frowned, and after a while, he continued: "Maybe it's the time, although you and I have escaped into the empty door, but we also know the affairs of the rivers and lakes very well. The abbot of Qingjing suddenly stopped and looked at the body of Master Qingming, not only sighed again, "I have a premonition recently, there may be a big chaos in the rivers and lakes soon, not only the Xuanzi Chu family, I am afraid that the descendants of the three envoys of heaven and earth will also appear, not to mention the Dongchang, a martial arts catastrophe may come suddenly." With that, the abbot of Pure Purity suddenly fell into deep thought.

Several other masters looked at the quietly distracted abbot, and thought about what the abbot had just said, and couldn't help but secretly frightened, if this was the case, a martial arts catastrophe might really be inevitable.

At night, Leng Tianfeng hides in the woods outside the Shaolin Temple, surrounded by pitch black, only some insects chirping and birds chirping and the "rustling" sound of the wind blowing the leaves. He walked cautiously through the woods, lest he be discovered. After all, this Shaolin Temple is the first major sect in the world, although it is not as dark as Dongchang, but it is still heavily guarded, Leng Tianfeng knows that Shaolin's strength must not be underestimated, so he does not dare to hold it up, even if it is still outside the temple, he is still very vigilant.

As early as the afternoon, Leng Tianfeng had already reached the boundary of Shaolin Temple, but this was also the first time he had come to Shaolin Mountain, so he didn't know much about this place. After a brief thought, he pretended to be a passer-by who came from the capital to join relatives and friends, and asked the old monk guarding the vegetable garden for a bowl of water when passing by the Shaolin vegetable garden, and chatted with the old monk by the way.

The old monk was very old, his eyebrows were white, the corners of his eyes drooped together with his eyebrows, a pair of old eyes were half-open, his skin was wrinkled, his back was stiff, he couldn't stand up, and the whole person was extremely thin and thin, and it was indescribable to use only the old dragon clock.

When the old monk heard that Leng Tianfeng wanted to beg for a bowl of water to drink, he couldn't help but smile, showed a few sparse teeth, and said, "Please wait a while, the old monk will go to fetch water for the donor." After a while, he came with a bowl of water in both hands, and he still trembled and walked, so that people could see that he would accidentally break the bowl.

Leng Tianfeng took the bowl with both hands, took a shallow sip, and said to the old monk: "Thank you for the water from this master, dare to ask the master's name?"

"This donor doesn't need to be polite," the old monk had been weak for a long time, and he had to sit on the wooden bench next to him after serving water to Leng Tianfeng, "The old monk is just a miscellaneous servant in the temple, and he is ordered to take care of this vegetable garden, and the word master really can't afford it." After the old monk sat down, he folded his hands.

"It turned out to be a master of Yuansheng, and the younger generation is polite," as the so-called "doing a full set of plays", Leng Tianfeng wanted to be very respectful when he wanted to hear the news from the old monk, and he also folded his hands, "The younger generation originally came here to visit his uncle, and he didn't want to go down the wrong path for the first time, and there was a lot of trouble, and I hope the master will not mind." ”

"Hehe, the little donor is too polite, the old monk is an idler, should guide the world with Buddhism, but unfortunately I am not good at Buddhism, can not go down the mountain to preach, can only take care of the vegetable garden here, today I can meet the donor is fate, but also should help the donor is, since I can not pass on the Buddhist road to guide the maze, then do my best to help the people around, this is my monk's duty. Monk Yuansheng smiled and told what he was thinking.

"Then thank you master," at this time, Leng Tianfeng's face suddenly showed doubts, and he pretended to ask casually, "On the way up the mountain, I also met several masters of Shaolin Temple, but I saw how sad they were, and the younger generations were puzzled, isn't there something big happening in the temple?"

Monk Yuansheng sighed and said softly: "I heard from the monk who delivered the meal, two days ago, the first Qingming master in the temple was assassinated. ”

"Oh?" Leng Tianfeng pretended to be extremely surprised, and then asked, "Someone dares to commit murder in Shaolin, I really don't know the height of the sky, Shaolin is the number one faction in the world, dare to do it, it really eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, is it possible that that person wants to be the enemy of the entire martial arts?"

"The little benefactor's words are wrong," after listening to what Leng Tianfeng said, the monk Yuansheng said indifferently, "The old monk said, the monks of Shaolin Temple are all idlers outside the party, and the number one faction in the world is just a false name in the rivers and lakes, so don't mention it." He paused for a moment, and then said, "The original intention of the Shaolin Seventy-two stunts created by Patriarch Bodhidharma is just to allow me and other Shaolin disciples to participate in meditation and move my muscles and bones without getting tired, and use it as an effect to strengthen my body." After development, it is only used to protect the temple in times of crisis, and it is not for the sake of martial arts, but the people in the rivers and lakes see that my Shaolin martial arts are still some skills, so they add some false names to us. ”

"Isn't your temple going to avenge Master Qingming?" this is the question Leng Tianfeng wants to ask the most.

"Revenge," the monk continued, "then it depends on the murderer, the Dharma exists to eliminate the world's grievances, how can we be violent and violent, if the murderer has remorse, we and other Buddhist disciples should be influenced by it, this is the truth of Buddhism." ”

"What if the murderer is stubborn?" Leng Tianfeng then asked.

Monk Yuansheng closed his eyes and sighed: "Everything in the world is divided into good and evil, and the Buddha also has two sides, one side is the right path, and the other is the way to eliminate demons. If the murderer is stubborn and continues to harm the world, then there is only a way to get rid of demons. ”

"Master Yuansheng, the younger generation wants to ask for advice, there are many injustices in the world, why do most of them not go to the world to resolve their grievances, but live in retreat?" Leng Tianfeng asked casually.

At this time, the Yuansheng monk opened his eyes again, looked at Leng Tianfeng quietly, and said slowly: "Buddhism is the principle of self-cultivation, and it is definitely not the way to help the world, do you understand?"

As soon as these words came out, Leng Tianfeng suddenly felt shocked, as if something had flashed in his mind, but it was vague, it was difficult to sort out his thoughts, and in an instant, his heart was confused.

"Donor," Monk Yuansheng said to Leng Tianfeng, "It's not early, it's better for the donor to leave early, my vegetable garden is too simple, it's really inconvenient for the donor to stay overnight." ”

When Leng Tianfeng heard the words of the Yuansheng monk, he woke up instantly, looked up at the sky, the sky was indeed dark, and he said goodbye to the Yuansheng monk at the moment.

After leaving the vegetable garden of Shaolin Temple, Leng Tianfeng repeatedly thought about what the old monk said, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, what the old monk said was very popular, in fact, it was Zen, he was by no means an ordinary handyman, but Leng Tianfeng did not have the leisure to understand the old monk at the moment, and could only repeatedly think about the idea that flashed in his mind but was vague.

Leng Tianfeng took a break in the woods, ate some dry food, and looked at the sky, it was the beginning of the morning, at this time the monks in the Shaolin Temple should have just finished the evening class, back to the meditation room to rest, if you want to explore Shaolin at night, this time is the most suitable.

Leng Tianfeng was outside the outer wall on the west side of Shaolin Temple at this time, and he used light skills to fly immortals, and easily landed on the wall, and below was the Hall of the Six Ancestors. The hall of the six ancestors is less than 100 feet away is the Daxiong Treasure Palace.

Leng Tianfeng jumped lightly, landed lightly on the roof of the Six Ancestors Palace, and lowered his body, at this time he was dressed in a black shirt, just hiding in the night. He slowly looked around, there was no Shaolin Temple monk near the Six Ancestors Palace, his heart was secretly happy, and he was about to jump down, when he suddenly saw a black shadow jumping on the roof of the Naluo Hall opposite the Six Ancestors Palace.

Leng Tianfeng fixed his eyes and saw that the person was wearing a black power suit and a black cloth mask, and seeing that there was no one around, he went straight into the Daxiong Treasure Hall. Leng Tianfeng was puzzled in his heart, and couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that the murderer came to Shaolin to commit murder again?"

The man in black entered the Daxiong Treasure Hall and first vigilantly checked the surroundings to make sure that there was no one in the hall, and immediately walked to the incense case. It turned out that today's Shaolin abbot had just finished the body of Master Qingming, and the body was still parked in the Daxiong Treasure Hall at this time, and the man in black walked to the body of Qingming, first bowed to the body with his hands folded, and then began to untie the coat of the body of Qingming and began to examine it carefully.

The man in black inspected it very carefully, carefully examining every wound on the body, and even the cold sky peak on the roof could be seen clearly. I saw that there was a round hole in the upper body of Master Qingming, and the shape of the wound was indeed pierced from the inside out, and Leng Tianfeng saw that it was the unique wound that hit Bing Quanzhang. It seems that the rumors on the rivers and lakes are true, and Leng Tianfeng can't help but murmur secretly in his heart: "Is there really anyone in this martial arts besides me who can condense the ice trick without vain?"

When Leng Tianfeng was puzzled, the sound of footsteps came from outside the hall at this time, the sound was extremely light, if you don't listen carefully, it will be difficult to detect, it can be seen that the martial arts of the people outside the hall are extremely high.

The man in black obviously heard it too, and in a panic, he didn't have time to redress Master Qingming's body, so he could only hastily cover the robe on the body and hide behind the Buddha statue in a hurry.

Leng Tianfeng looked through the gap between the tiles, there were three old monks wearing red robes, and the old monk led by him stood still in front of Qingming's body, bowed to the body, and then said to the other two monks: "Qingkong, Qingjian, two junior brothers, I don't know what else to do when you call me here at night?"

"Senior Brother Qingjing, the two of us discussed it privately and felt that there was something wrong with this matter. Qing Jian took the lead and said.

Listening to the names of the three people, Leng Tianfeng immediately didn't understand that the person who came was actually the abbot of Shaolin and the two heads of the Dharma Academy and the Discipline Academy.

"What do you think is wrong?" said the abbot.

"Although my Shaolin is a place outside the party, but also in the martial arts, if the murderer is allowed to go, my Shaolin will definitely lose face in the rivers and lakes, although the senior brother has issued a heroic post, but has never sent someone down the mountain to arrest the murderer, it is because the two of us think it is inappropriate. Master Qingkong said as he walked towards Qingming's body and bowed eleven times, and suddenly, his body froze, and his whole body froze.

The abbot of Qingjing and Master Qingjian noticed the strangeness of the emptiness, so they also stepped forward, and after a closer look, their faces also changed slightly. The three of their brothers and Qingming grew up in the temple together since childhood, and they were like brothers and sisters, and it was the three of them who personally buried the body after Qingming passed away, and at this time, Qingming's body clothes were obviously artificially messed up, and they actually left the Daxiong Treasure Hall only two times before returning to the time of tea, so someone must have come in during this period.

Qingkong motioned to the two senior brothers not to make a sound, and continued: "Qingkong thinks that in order to maintain the reputation of Shaolin, the senior brother should send someone down the mountain to arrest the culprit as soon as possible. As he spoke, he looked around to make sure there was no one around, and then his gaze fell on the Buddha statue in the middle of the Great Bustlene.

The abbot said: "I understand that my junior brother is thinking about my Shaolin prestige, but this matter has not yet been clarified, we want to arrest the murderer, but we can't wronged good people." As he spoke, he gestured to the two disciples to slowly outflank the Buddha statue from the left and right, and the front of this Mahavira Hall was clear at a glance, and it was difficult to hide people, if anyone was hiding here, it could only be behind the Buddha statue.

"Then please show me what to do. Qingjian said, what he said seemed to be asking the abbot how to arrest the murderer, but in fact, he asked the abbot if he did it.

The black-clothed man hiding behind the Buddha statue listened to the conversation of the three-dimensional monk as usual, thinking that he had been confused, and was secretly glad that he had not been discovered, and suddenly, the Buddha statue suddenly attacked three palms from the left and right and above, and it was the three monks who attacked him from different directions.

The man in black was suddenly shocked, and immediately performed light skills, like the slip of a swimming fish, and escaped from the gap between the two palms, and he didn't have time to think about it and immediately ran towards the outside of the main hall. The pure abbot shot like electricity, using the Sumeru Mountain palm in the seventy-two stunts of the Shaolin Temple, this move was strong and heavy, and the fierce wind hit the back of the man in black like Mount Tai.

The man in black knew that there was no way to avoid it, so he had to turn around and take out his palm, and at this moment, the other two monks had already surrounded the man in black and blocked his way. Seeing this scene, the man in black did not hesitate, turned his hands into claws, counterattacked, and fought with the three monks.

Needless to say, the martial arts of the three Shaolin monks have been tightly suppressed by the tacit understanding of many years. If the man in black talks about martial arts, he can't compare to the three monks, but his claw skills are extremely weird, once he uses his whole body like a ghost, he always attacks the vital points of the three monks from an incredible angle, with the light exercises, although it is difficult to get out of trouble, but the three monks are difficult to catch him for a while.

Leng Tianfeng looked at the figure of the man in black from the roof, he was very familiar, his heart moved, he suddenly thought of a person, and immediately slapped his palm on the roof tiles, and suddenly a big hole appeared in the roof. Leng Tianfeng jumped down from the hole in the roof without saying a word, and slapped his palm towards the clean abbot.

Master Pure never thought that someone would come down from the roof, and hurriedly retreated in a panic, at this time, Leng Tianfeng had already landed next to the man in black, and shouted: "And slow down." ”

The three senior monks stopped as they said, each taking two steps back, but they still surrounded Leng Tianfeng and the man in black on three sides. Leng Tianfeng didn't look at the three senior monks, but just turned his head and said to the man in black: "Senior Brother Ming, is it you?"
