After everyone climbed up the stone stairs to the top, it turned out to be a platform. Only then did Tang Jiusheng realize that Luoyutang was on the peak opposite the peak, and then there was an iron chain bridge of more than 20 zhang in front of him, like an illusion in the clouds and mist. Below the chain bridge is the abyss, but this chain bridge is bare except for the seven iron chains, which sway in the mountain wind, making people look frightened. Everyone was amazed that there was not even a single plank on the bridge, so how could people get through?

Shen Xiaoyu saw everyone's doubts, and said softly: "I have already told you before, only after crossing the Broken Soul Bridge can you really enter the main helm of the Falling Rain Pavilion, and this is the reason. Only then did everyone suddenly realize that this was the Soul Breaking Bridge that Shen Xiaoyu said. On the opposite side of the bridge is a tall torii gate, and there are more than a dozen sword-wielding samurai standing on both sides of the door. Tang Jiusheng secretly said in his heart, this Shen Wentian of the Falling Rain Pavilion had spent a lot of money to build such a dangerous place, but he was afraid that others would plot to kill him, so what?

It just so happened that inside the archway gate at the head of the bridge, a man wearing a red robe and a gauze hat like an official in an opera came out, and when he saw someone coming from this side of the bridge, he shouted and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here, and do you have a token?"

Tang Jiusheng hurriedly replied loudly according to Shen Xiaoyu's instructions: "Eldest Miss Shen Xiaoyu led the brothers of the Jiannan Branch to worship the mountain, asking to see the Lu Pavilion Lord and the Xinling Deputy Pavilion Master, there is a Qingyun Token here!

The official-like man smiled and said, "It turns out that the eldest lady has returned! Well, since it is the eldest lady who has come, there is no need to report it, you just ask to cross the bridge!" The red-robed and gauzed official turned around and said, "Brothers, put the wooden raft!" I saw six or seven samurai on the opposite side begin to twist the mechanism, and in the creaking sound, a row of planks miraculously rolled up on the bridge and spread it all the way to the head of the bridge. The red-robed and gauze-hat official smiled again: "Please cross the bridge with the eldest lady and all the brothers!"

Shen Xiaoyu took the lead, and everyone followed, walking in a row, and those who were worse in light skills were more careful, for fear that they would accidentally fall under the bridge. But fortunately, nothing happened, and everyone crossed the bridge safely. Tang Jiusheng glanced up at the archway door, and saw three big characters engraved on the door, "Wangxiang Gate". Tang Jiusheng couldn't help frowning, I heard that the Yin Cao Prefecture is expected to be a township, and there is a Daowang Township Gate here, I don't know what the intention is, is it the intention of taking death?

The red-robed and gauze-hated official was about forty years old, with a big beard and burning eyes, obviously with deep internal strength, Tang Jiusheng didn't dare to reveal his identity, so he didn't want to observe his martial arts. When the red-robed official saw everyone crossing the bridge, he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed respectfully at Shen Xiaoyu, and said respectfully: "My subordinates are looking at the Xiangmen Protector Gao Dianbang, see the eldest lady! Is the eldest lady from the Weiwang Mansion? A few days ago, my subordinates were fortunate enough to hear the pavilion master talk about the eldest lady a few times, saying that the eldest lady should not stay in the Weiwang Mansion for long, and I am afraid that she will come back soon!"

Shen Xiaoyu said with a kind smile: "It turns out that you are Gao Dianbang, I have heard of your name a long time ago, didn't you originally be the branch master in Yong'an City? Why, the Lu Pavilion Lord transferred you back to guard the township gate? Congratulations to the Gao Hall Master on being promoted to the protector of the Pavilion!" Shen Xiaoyu glanced back at Tang Jiusheng and blinked his left eye. Tang Jiusheng smiled all over his face, took out a silver ticket of two thousand taels from his arms, bowed down and handed it to Gao Dianbang, Shen Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Congratulations to Brother Gao on his promotion to the protector of the Dharma, and I will ask Brother Gao to take care of me in the pavilion in the future!

When Gao Dianbang saw that it was a silver ticket, his smiling eyes narrowed, and he quickly reached out to take the money, but said in his mouth: "Oh, look at it, look at it, the eldest lady is really too polite, how can this be embarrassing to let the eldest lady break the bank! But this is the eldest lady's love for her subordinates, and the subordinates are not easy to refuse, so the subordinates will accept it with a shy face! Thank you, the eldest lady!" Gao Dianbang just stuffed the silver ticket in his arms, Tang Jiusheng took out a gold coin from his arms, handed it to Gao Dianbang, and said in a low voice: "Please brothers drink tea!" Gao Dianbang took the golden bill, patted Tang Jiusheng's shoulder with satisfaction, and secretly said in his heart, this kid is very good.

Satisfied Gao Dianbang made a face, came to Shen Xiaoyu, pointed to the front of the bluestone road, dozens of zhang away on the right hand, there was a small meditation hall with yellow tiles and red walls of flying eaves and arches, Gao Dianbang said in a low voice: "At this time, Lu Dali Lu Protector is participating in meditation in the meditation hall, if the eldest lady wants to see the pavilion master and deputy pavilion master quickly, she has to ask Lu to protect the Dharma, and he has the final say in this matter!" Gao Dianbang stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of twisting the silver ticket, Shen Xiaoyu nodded, thanked Gao Dianbang, and led everyone straight to the small meditation hall of the eaves and arches.

Shen Xiaoyu took the lead, led everyone inside, and when he arrived at the meditation hall, he found that the door of the meditation hall was empty, and there were two vicious monks with swords standing under the steps of the door, both monks were wearing gray monk's robes, with a horizontal face, angry eyebrows, and no kindness and compassion, as if they were fierce and evil. Shen Xiaoyu led everyone to ten steps away from the meditation hall, and the two monks' swords were already half-unsheathed. Standing on the left side of the front of the meditation hall, a monk with a black mole at the corner of his mouth glared and shouted: "Who dares to come here to disturb the Great Protector Dharma's cultivation? Aren't you afraid that the Buddha will blame you?"

Tang Jiusheng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hand and said, "Trouble the two masters, Miss Shen Xiaoyu came with the brothers of the Jiannan Branch, asking to see the Lu Pavilion Master and the Deputy Pavilion Master, please convey the Lu Protector!"

The monk's eyes rolled strangely, his right hand left the handle of the ring knife, stretched forward, his hand facing upward, made a receiving form, and shouted in a deep voice: "What eldest lady and second lady, who is impatient to listen! You kid doesn't understand the rules, Lu Da Dharma Protector affairs are troublesome, can you see it if you want to? Besides, Lu Da Dharma Protector is busy doing Buddhist things and participating in meditation, how can I have time to convey it to you now! You want to see the pavilion master and deputy pavilion master, go back and wait for tomorrow!"

Tang Jiusheng hurriedly took out two more gold bills from his arms, handed them to the monk, and said with a smile: "I don't know this master's name, please take it to drink tea!"

The monk snatched the two gold bills with his hand, pinched them with his hand, and then looked Tang Jiusheng up and down with satisfaction, and snorted in his nose: "Well, this is almost the same! He tilted his head to look at the other monk, and said with a crooked mouth: "This is my junior brother to quit anger, where is his share?" The monk who called the law to quit anger saw that he was greedy and had money to take, but without him, his face immediately became gloomy.

Tang Jiusheng hurriedly took out two more gold bills from his arms and handed them over, both flattering and pretending, thinking to himself what is the situation in this Luoyu Pavilion now, one by one they don't care about anything, they only love silver up and down, this atmosphere is really good! If it weren't for Shen Xiaoyu inquiring about the situation in advance and preparing a lot of gold and silver, I'm afraid that this time I wouldn't even be able to see Lu Dalang's shadow!

The monk who gave the name of the Dharma to quit anger took the golden bill, and automatically flashed to the side, there was a mole at the corner of his mouth, and the monk with the Dharma name of quitting greed snorted, pouted, and said: "You come with me, you must not make loud noises when you enter the meditation hall! If you annoy the Great Protector, it is not a joke, and if you don't see the pavilion master, you will be beaten by the board!" As he spoke, he held the handle of the ring knife with his left hand, turned around and climbed the steps of the meditation hall, leading the way in front.

Shen Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Thank you Master for reminding you!" Everyone then followed, and when they arrived at the door of the meditation hall, they all stood outside the door and did not dare to move. Qu Greed pushed open the door of the meditation hall, stepped into the meditation hall first, bent down and said respectfully: "Great Protector, Miss Shen Xiaoyu took the brother of the Jiannan branch to ask to see the pavilion master!" But I didn't hear the sound of anyone answering, and after another half an hour, there was still no sound in the meditation hall.

Quit greed turned around, bowed at everyone, and motioned for everyone to enter. Only then did everyone follow Shen Xiaoyu and sneak into the meditation hall, quit greed and quit withdrawing, and covered the door. When everyone entered the meditation hall, they saw that the meditation hall was seven or eight feet square, and there were more than a dozen futons on the ground.

Tang Jiusheng looked at it in a flash, and saw a man wearing a robe but with his hair facing away from everyone, sitting cross-legged on the futon in the middle, looking at the figure was not very tall, and there was a merit box behind him very abruptly. When the people entered the meditation hall, the man did not look back or say a word. It was just that the wooden fish suddenly knocked on, first gently, and then the sound of tuk tuk tuk became more and more urgent. Tang Jiusheng took out two silver tickets from his arms, stepped forward, and threw them into the merit box behind the man.

Shen Xiaoyu secretly said in his heart, this must be what kind of Lu Dali? Sure enough, he can pretend to be garlic. Lu Dali suddenly knocked the wooden fish hard, and stopped with a thud. He asked in a cold voice, "Where did you come from and where are you going?" Shen Xiaoyu was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Tang Jiusheng sat on a futon behind the man with a hippie smile, crossed his legs and folded his hands, and said: "Lu Da Dharma Protector is high! I will come from Jiannan Road, go up to the high mountain to see the Dharma Protector, and then see the Pavilion Master." The Dharma protector is a master outside the world, and of course he is different from us laymen! When a layman sees a master, he must ask for something. Money is something external to the body, so please protect the Dharma and accept it safely and eliminate disasters for us!"

Lu Dali turned his head at this time, and when everyone looked at him, they saw him with a pair of ringed eyes, a full beard, a big mouth, and his appearance was not good. Lu Dali looked Tang Jiusheng up and down, nodded with satisfaction, and knocked the wooden fish in his hand again, "Buddha bless, great wisdom and great wisdom!" Young man, you only voted for two silver tickets, a little less, if the sincerity is not enough, lest Master Wuzen blame, as soon as the old master is angry, it will be difficult for you to see the pavilion master!" Tang Jiusheng didn't say a word, took out another stack of silver tickets from his arms, and threw them into the merit box.

Everyone looked at Lu Dali, not knowing if these silver tickets were enough. Lu Dali knocked on the wooden fish again, then stood up, threw the wooden fish aside, and said lazily: "Don't look at me, I don't accept this silver, you have to see whether the Master Wuzen is happy or not! Remember, my nickname is 'Don't Collect Money' Lu Dali, I don't love money the most in the whole rivers and lakes, and I regard money as dung! You come with me, and when you meet the pavilion master later, don't talk nonsense, the pavilion master doesn't like to see people recently!" Everyone agreed in unison.

Tang Jiusheng secretly scolded in his heart, this guy can simply have a fight with Yang Jingzhong, and can be listed as "Lu Dali, loyal to the monarch and patriotic Yang Jingzhong", what does it mean to be a bitch and want to set up an archway, this is. Lu vigorously staggered to the wall behind the meditation hall, knocked hard, stopped, knocked again, stopped, knocked again.

After a while, I suddenly heard a woman's voice on the wall asking, "Is it Lu Da Protector?" Lu Dali agreed, "It's me!" Shen Xiaoyu and the brothers of the Jiannan branch asked to see the pavilion master, his old man!

The woman inside the wall replied, "Please wait a while, the slave family will go to report to the pavilion master!" Everyone looked at each other, thinking that this Lu Pavilion Lord was really not too troublesome, but they didn't know if this Lu Pavilion Lord and Lu Da Protector were related. After another tea time, everyone was a little anxious to wait, and the woman's voice came from inside the wall, "The Pavilion Master summons, please come in!" Then there was a creak, and a secret door moved out of the wall, and behind the door seemed to be a dark passage.

Lu Dali was the first to enter, and Shen Xiaoyu, Tang Jiusheng and others followed. Sure enough, behind the door was a dark passage, and there was only a small night stone every few zhang away, barely able to make people see the way. Lu Dali didn't speak, the woman didn't speak, the woman walked in front of her without hurry, Lu Dali followed behind without hurrying, and walked for half a cup of tea, and suddenly her eyes lit up, but it was a moon door, the light outside the door was very dazzling, and everyone couldn't help but squint.

The woman and Lu Dali walked out of the moon gate first, and when everyone looked at the woman who led the way, it was a woman about twenty years old, extremely enchanting, with a red long skirt and white jacket, small embroidered shoes with green peony flowers, the figure was exquisite, the spirit was flying, the face was like a peach blossom in March, the eyebrows were curved, the apricot eyes were spring, the cherry was small, and the gold hairpin on the head was inlaid with pearls, and the slight shaking made people dizzy.

The fat man behind Tang Jiusheng couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and said in a low voice: "My obedient man, it looks like a big strawberry, it's really tempting!" Tang Jiusheng remained silent, poked the fat man with his finger, and told him not to talk nonsense.

The enchanting woman looked at Shen Xiaoyu for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yo, Miss Shen is really a beauty!" The voice was tactful, like a yellow warbler out of the valley, and the woman's beautiful voice was even more beautiful. Shen Xiaoyu also replied with a smile: "Don't dare, my sister Zhuyu is in front, my sister is ashamed of herself, my sister is as beautiful as a fairy!" The woman smiled slightly, and the fat man's soul was almost laughed at by this woman.

I saw that there was a small courtyard behind the moon gate, there were stone tables and stone benches in the courtyard, and a few delicate maids were pushing pai gow, and when they saw this enchanting woman, they stood up together, and Wanfu said: "I've seen Hong Meiren!" Hong Meiren ignored them, led everyone through the small courtyard, and walked away. Passing through a hand-copying verandah, passing through the hall, bypassing the large blue glass screen on the ground, there are three halls, and then passing through the hall, it is a large patio, and everyone sees that there are five tall and elegant eaves and corners of the upper room opposite.

There are two large laurel trees in the courtyard, on both sides are the wings, and there are two bamboo birdcages hanging at the door of the east wing, and in the birdcages are two expensive blue parrots, who are learning to say: "The pavilion master is auspicious, the girl is auspicious!" The sound of singing and dancing and the sound of women's laughter faintly came from the main room.

Only then did Hong Meiren speak: "Today, the pavilion master is in our jade garden, I will go to the pavilion master, you wait here!" Lu Dali agreed softly, standing in the patio, not even daring to come out of the atmosphere, everyone looked solemn, waiting for Hong Meiren to pass on. Hong Meiren walked to the door of the main house, stood at the foot of the steps, and said in a charming voice: "Pavilion Master, Lu Da Protector and Miss Shen Xiaoyu have arrived, and the brothers of the Jiannan Branch have also arrived, asking to see the Pavilion Master outside the door!"

Suddenly, I heard someone in the room coughing a few times, and said with a lack of breath: "Since you are here, let them in!" Listening to the voice, this person seemed to be overworked.

Hong Meiren said respectfully: "Yes, Pavilion Master!" Hong Meiren turned her head, looked at the people in the courtyard, and said softly: "The Pavilion Master has an order, with the protection of Fa Lu Dali, the eldest lady Shen Xiaoyu and several brothers from the Jiannan Branch Hall will meet you!"

Tang Jiusheng secretly said in his heart, went around in a big circle, and finally wanted to see this master. After all, except for Shen Xiaoyu, no one knows what kind of virtue this famous Lu Yiliu, the current pavilion master nicknamed Lu Dalang, looks like.
