Chapter 69: The Heavenly Master
Bidding farewell to the old man outside the town, Lian Chi followed the Taoist team to the front of the post house, and saw that the white fat Taoist priest had entered the gate of the post house surrounded by everyone, and he was about to follow in, but was stopped by a thin black Taoist priest.
"What are you doing?" asked the thin black priest, pulling the male duck's throat.
"Amitabha, the little monk is a monk. Lian Chi said.
"I know you're a monk, so what are you doing here?"
"I don't know where this is?" asked Lianchi with a pleasant face.
"The inn!"
"What's the use?" asked Lianchi again.
"Eat and sleep!"
"Me too. Lian Chi said that he was going to step in again.
The thin black Taoist priest hurriedly stretched out his arms to stop him, and said, "Hey, I said that you really don't know, or do you really don't know?"
"What's the matter?" asked Lian Chi, pretending not to know.
"The officers and soldiers have been under martial law and sounding the gong to open the way, which has already alarmed the whole town, and it is my Heavenly Master Dao who is here!"
"Oh, could it be the Heavenly Master of the Jiangxi Dragon and Tiger Sect?" asked Lian Chi knowingly.
The thin black Taoist priest turned to a proud face and said, "You know, let's go!"
"Why?" asked Lian Chi as he stared at the thin black priest, a look of impatience on his face.
The thin black Taoist priest said aloud in a matter-of-fact manner: "My Dragon and Tiger Sect is led by Zhang Zhenren, the fourth rank of the Imperial Sect and the Imperial Heavenly Master! This post house is now used by the people of the Heavenly Master Sect, and idle people are forbidden to enter!"
At this time, hearing the words of the thin black Taoist, Lian Chi felt that he couldn't hold it in his heart, so he said angrily: "The post house is set up for the convenience of pedestrians, how can there be a reason to prohibit entry!?"
"You monk is so uninteresting!"
The thin black Taoist priest raised his hand and hit him, but Lianchi didn't dodge, and just raised his strong arm, he popped him back a few steps, holding his arm and screaming.
At this moment, two officers, one black and one white, came out of it, and Lian Chi recognized these two as the two officers who had just led the team to pick up the sedan chair.
Seeing the officer coming, the thin black Taoist priest hurriedly stepped forward and pointed at a white-faced officer among them and said, "Come on, come on, come and see, this wild monk doesn't know what to do, and he dares to trespass!"
At this moment, before the white-faced officer could react, the black-faced officer on the side glared at the swarthy Taoist priest and shouted, "Bold! How can I talk to the captain!?"
Seeing the officer's might, the thin black Taoist priest did not dare to say more, and retreated to the gate without saying a word.
At this time, the white-faced officer glanced at Lian Chi and asked, "This little monk, is it important for you to go in?"
"Amitabha, this military master, please. Lian Chi bowed slightly, and then asked, "The little monk heard that many children have been lost in this town, I don't know if it's true or not?"
Hearing the monk in front of him mention this, the white-faced officer's expression tightened, and he nodded hurriedly: "Exactly, I don't know what this senior monk has to say?"
"Nothing. I am a monk of Xiangji Temple, passing through this place to hear about this evil thing, I want to inquire about one or two, only to happen to learn that the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain visited here, so I came to visit, I want to come to seek teaching, but also to see how the immortal master of the Heavenly Master Dao wants to decide. β
Hearing that the monk in front of him was from the prestigious Xiangji Temple, the white-faced officer hurriedly saluted: "Oh, treat the monk slowly, don't blame me! I am a military captain, surnamed Qiu Mingyuan, this time I was ordered by the commander to be the general, here to meet the Heavenly Master, in order to find my son." Now that the eminent monk is also here, isn't it like a tiger with wings!"
The little monk didn't dare. I don't know if I can bother the military master to lead me to see the Heavenly Master Immortal?" asked Lian Chi urgently.
Before Lian Chi's words fell, the black-faced officer on the side said angrily: "What immortal chief!? He is not Zhang Tianshi, it seems to be his apprentice, what ......is his name?"
"Long breeze. The white-faced officer said lightly.
"Yes, yes, it's that bun face, long breeze!" the black-faced officer deliberately shouted into the courtyard.
Lian Chi knew that he had just been treated slowly by the Heavenly Master Dao Elder, so he made this move, so he nodded slightly and did not speak.
Then the two officers led Lian Chi to see the Heavenly Master Daoist, and the thin black Taoist priest in the courtyard also followed closely when he saw the situation.
Pushing open the door, the short and fat Taoist chief was eating wine at the table, and a Taoist boy was pouring wine and cloth dishes on the side, busy.
At this time, seeing that the two officers had attracted a monk, the short and fat Taoist chief rolled his eyes and asked, "The two of you suddenly visited, what did you report?"
"This one is going to talk to you!" the black-faced officer snapped.
"What!?" Humpty Dumpty said with a long air.
The white-faced officer hurriedly said: "Don't blame the immortal chief, this is a senior monk who wants to discuss with you." β
Slanted a glance at Lian Chi, who was standing behind the officer, the short and fat Taoist took the wine glass and drank it all, wiped his mouth, and said, "I don't know him, so where do you start with this discussion?"
Without waiting for the short and fat Taoist to continue, Lian Chi walked out from behind the officer in two steps and said, "Amitabha! Zhang Zhenren has always been good. β
Seeing the little monk greeting his own sect master, the short and fat Taoist chief put down the chicken leg in his hand, wiped his oily hands, and said disdainfully: "Hmph, my family is naturally a real person!
Lianchi saluted and said lightly: "I am Xiangji Temple, under the disciple of Master Huiwu, Lianchi is also." β
As soon as Lian Chi said this, he saw that the face of the short and fat Taoist chief changed suddenly, and he hurriedly got up and walked around the round table, ran two steps to the front, and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! The trail is long and breezy. β
Seeing that the short and fat Taoist was very different from the front and back, the black-faced officer looked at the thin black Taoist behind him in confusion, and asked in a low voice, "This Lianchi monk, what is the origin? Do you know?"
"I have heard that he is a famous monk, Buddhism is very profound, and he is also the most proud disciple of Master Huiwu of Xiangji Temple, and it is rumored that he is the next abbot of Xiangji Temple, and it is my heavenly master Zhang Zhenren who often mentions him, and he is also quite praised. β
After hearing this, the two officers couldn't help but be amazed when they saw that Lian Chi had such attainments at such a young age.
At this time, hearing that the short and fat Taoist chief in front of him was Chang Qingfeng, in Lianchi's opinion, this did not match his dignity, and now he saw that he was full of horror and pretended to smirk, which was even more funny.
"Oh, Monk Lianchi, why did you come here?" Chang Qingfeng said pretending to be polite.
"Amitabha, the little monk saw the honor guard outside the town, and thought it was the heavenly master Zhang Zhenren who came, but he didn't want to ......"
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, this, this...... When the family teacher had something to do, he sent Xiaodao to come in accordance with the law. On the trail and the road, I have found some executive guides, isn't it still to strengthen the prestige of my monk's family, but we must not let outsiders underestimate us!" Chang Qingfeng said, and then glanced at the black-faced officer.
Seeing that Chang Qingfeng was the same as his master Zhang Tianshi, Lian Chi was very unhappy in his heart, so he said: "Amitabha! How can a monk fall into the clichΓ© if he is a monk who is based on helping the world? Moreover, this time he came here to quell the trouble, so he swaggered through the market, lest the gangsters not see it?"
Chang Qingfeng was said by Lian Chi's face with a cloud on his face, and nodded again and again: "Yes, what the senior monk said is that the small path must be taken as a warning, and it should be taken as a warning." Instead, he let Lian Chi sit down at the table, and begged in a low voice, "What you have seen today, please don't mention it to outsiders, otherwise the master will definitely punish me." β
Lianchi disdained to deal with such a villain, so she nodded slightly.
Lian Chi then mentions the loss of the child.
According to the meaning of the long breeze, it is now nearly evening, and it is not too late to rest and stop today, and it is not too late to talk tomorrow.
However, Lianchi insisted on discussing immediately, but Chang Qingfeng was stubborn, so he had to agree, so he asked the two officers to sit down and negotiate together.
Hearing what the audience said, Lian Chi learned that although many children have been lost in recent years, there is still no clue, and Hu Jiayu has been searched in all directions, and there is no hiding place. Except, the rumored old woman of the Hu family.
Then, Chang Qingfeng mentioned that before leaving, Zhang Zhenren had given him three runes, called ghost runes, animal runes, and earth runes. He also told him that there would be any strange things in this case that he should be careful about, so Chang Qingfeng proposed that this case should be considered in the long term and planned carefully.
But Lian Chi didn't think so, thinking that now that there are doubts, he must first inquire clearly, so he wants to start with the old woman first. Then he asked everyone's opinions, at this time, Chang Qingfeng had no other way but to nod, and then asked the two officers, naturally they agreed again and again.
The discussion was decided, for fear of startling the grass and snakes, everyone agreed to leave at night, but at this time, they suddenly heard that the soldiers outside the door came to report that another child was missing!
