Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Underground Cavern
"How do you say this?" Xuankong's face was slightly displeased, "I would like to hear it." โ
"1. Do not kill, 2. Do not steal, 3. Do not commit adultery, 4. Do not drink alcohol, and 5. Do not lie. The master didn't see it in person, hearsay, and talk about it, what is it if it's not a lie!" Zhao Kuangyin raised his finger alternately and said.
There was silence.
For a long time, Xuankong smiled embarrassedly, "Daxia has been talking for a long time, his mouth is dry, please drink this tea." โ
As he spoke, a withered branch-like hand stretched out from the sleeve of his robe, and with a slight wave, the tea bowl on the coffee table rose into the air, and landed steadily in front of Zhao Kuangyin's knee with a "whoosh".
Zhao Kuangyin saw it and smiled slightly, "The master is too polite, and he didn't have the habit of drinking tea in his later years." Then he patted the ground with his palm, and the tea bowl returned to the table, as if it had never been moved, and the water did not overflow.
"Drinking tea is a gentleman's way of hospitality, why should the hero refuse!" Xuankong spoke, the cold light flashed in his eyes, and he pointed a little into the tea bowl, "The poor monk is gracious, and I hope the hero will smile!"
A type of "dragon spit out the heavenly pulp", a water dragon has splashed from the bowl, and shot at Zhao Kuangyin's face door like an arrow.
Zhao Kuangyin smiled coldly and said, "Thank you!" The sleeves of the robe waved slightly, and the sound of "Qiong Brewed Jade Liquid" and "Gu Du Du" was loud, and the faucet was led with his hand, and the tea obediently turned around and fell back into the bowl.
"This โโ!" Xuankong stretched his thin neck, stared dryly, and couldn't make a sound for a long time.
After a while, he said in a slow tone: "It is difficult for the poor monk to stop the hero's actions. Hero, please feel free!" With that, he got up and walked out with a gloomy expression.
When Zhao Kuangyin followed, Xuankong was gone. Annoyed, he decided to probe into the depths of the temple. This is the Longtan Tiger's Den, and I want to break through today!
Zhao Kuangyin walked through the deep ancient cypress forest in front of him, and a stone bridge appeared in front of him, and there was a clear mountain stream flowing under the bridge.
Stepping across the stone bridge, at the foot of the facing mountain is a green tile house entwined with withered vines.
watched it back and forth, and was about to turn around and walk away, but faintly heard the woman's crying voice coming from inside.
I wondered why this was the place where the monks were here, why did they hide the woman here? There must be something unspeakable, and I must see it today.
When he got closer, he saw that the gate was locked, and shook the gate a few times with his hands, and called several times: "Is there anyoneโโ?! is there anyoneโโ?! but there is no response inside.
In his eagerness, he slapped the chain in two with a wave of his palm, slammed the door open, and strode forward.
When I entered the house, I looked around vigilantly, and the room was empty, except for a few beds that collapsed there.
His eyes were fixed on the second door that hung from the crystal bead curtain.
Whew!Whew!
The long sword struck, and the crystal beads splashed to the ground.
He jumped into the door, and there was not much difference between the inside and the outside, except that there was an additional offering table against the wall, but there was no idol of the god on it, only a bell chime.
He was puzzled, and couldn't help but curiously grab the gavel on the side and knock lightly on the bell chime.
As a crisp and melodious sound echoed in the room, a secret door opened with a creak in the center of the floor.
Several bewitching women dressed up in fancy clothes poured out from below, and laughed endlessly: "Is it my 'San Lang' who is here obediently?!"
"No, it must be my dear 'Brother Li' who wants to be a slave!"
After taking a closer look, he mistook it and hurriedly turned his head back.
Zhao Kuangyin had already seen it clearly, stepped on the secret door, and shouted: "Who are you, and why are you here?!"
When everyone saw him with angry eyebrows and shiny white blades in his hands, he was already frightened and weak, how could he dare to move half a step, sobbing and arguing that he was originally a woman from a good family, who was abducted and robbed here, and was ravaged by the monks all day long, life is better than death, and he is really helpless.
Zhao Kuangyin listened, and was about to doubt the letter, when he suddenly heard someone crying under the secret door, and immediately said sharply: "Then who is there here?"
Then he urged everyone to lead him down to the dark room.
But when he saw an unkempt girl chained to a stake in the corner, he couldn't stop crying.
Everyone said: "Girl, don't cry, an outsider is coming!"
When the girl heard this, she looked up and saw Zhao Kuangyin, and hurriedly stopped crying.
"I don't know why the girl is detained here, where does she live, and who is her name?" Zhao Kuangyin asked with deep sympathy staring at the girl.
"This eldest brother, the people's girl's surname is Zhao, the small character Jingniang, is a native of Xiaoxiang Village, Jieliang County, Puzhou, and she is 17 years old. Because he came with his father to return Zhongyue's incense wish. The road was looted by gangsters. My father accidentally fell off a cliff and his life and death are still uncertain. I heard from the sisters that the women who plundered here will never come out again!"
Speaking of this, the tears rolled down, and I choked up and couldn't say any more!
A slightly older woman stood up and said: "This girl is really strong-charactered, she didn't eat or drink for three days when she came in, she was coerced and tempted, and she didn't obey to death, which is like me waiting for ......." Alasโโ! now that this broken flower is ruined and willows, what kind of face do you have to meet your family!"
Her cry touched everyone's sadness, and in an instant, true and false, all of them let out a sad voice......
Zhao Kuangyin was furious and roared: "Lang Lang Qiankun, in the Qingping world, there are such Buddhist disciples who pervert the law and rebel against the religion!"
Before he could finish speaking, the long sword in his hand screamed, slashing at the woman in chains.
Everyone exclaimed, only to hear the loud sound of "dang chang", and the chains on the woman's body had been broken into several pieces.
At that moment, he shouted: "Wait for everyone to escape quickly!"
Just when Zhao Kuangyin felt a little relieved for his righteous act.
Unexpectedly, all the women wept one after another, choked up: "The hero's idea is good, but it hurts us and others!"
"How do you say this?" Zhao Kuangyin said with some confusion from the second monk.
Everyone then said: "When I wait for everyone to be at home, they don't go out of the door, and they don't step out of the second door."
"At this time, I was so frightened and panicked that I didn't have the heart to look at the path.
"Nowadays, when you go out of the temple, you can't tell the east and west, north and south, and even if you can distinguish it, you are far away from home, and you can't help but walk with a weak body.
"Even if you can move a few steps, you can walk in the barren mountains and mountains, not to mention the tigers, leopards, wolves and insects and the strong man who does all kinds of evil, even if you lack water and food, how long can you last.
"Isn't your kindness an act of reproach to us all? What's more, if you can't get out of this Zen courtyard gate, it's something to say!"
"None of them are willing to be ravaged by lewd monks in this audience?!" Zhao Kuangyin shouted angrily, and Fang stopped everyone's gossip.
Na Jingniang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sisters, this hero is right, even if he dies outside, he is still clean, and it is better than living here."
When Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he nodded secretly in his heart, just saving this woman out, it was not in vain for me to do this.
Immediately shouted, "Please come with me." โ
Then he stepped forward with his sword.
Everyone looked at each other and scattered, panickedly scrambling to pick up the soft and jewelry in the cage.
"Don't move, that's the jewelry that 'San Lang' gave me!"
"Oh my God, why is the sachet that 'Brother Li' gave to the slave gone?!"
Zhao Kuangyin turned around and opened his eyes to see it, only Jing Niang followed, and shouted: "If you don't leave, there is no chance!"
Everyone was stunned, and Fang Shi understood that he was going back to his home now, and how to explain when he got home with these things.
At that moment, he quietly tucked the precious one into his waist, skimmed the worthless one to the ground, and stomped a few times with his foot, and said angrily: "The broken object that 'Bald Saburo' picked up somewhere was also used to fool the old lady." โ
spit out a few mouthfuls of thick phlegm on the brocade clothes that couldn't be hidden, and said: "Who is rare the stolen goods stolen by the lewd thief 'Monk Li'." โ
......
A hungry wild dog slashed at a human leg.
Immediately after a howl, the little novice sprang out of the grass where he was hiding, startling the dog and running away.
The little novice limped a few steps in a very bad manner, slipped under his feet, fell, stretched out his hand to the side, and wanted to throw the dog with a stone to relieve the hatred in his heart;
The dog looked back a few times and quickly disappeared into the forest.
When he returned to his original position after scolding, he saw that Zhao Kuangyin had already led the women to climb up the mountain road.
"Oh, my mother, I almost lost someone's stare by myself!" hurriedly limped to report to Xuankong.
Zhao Kuangyin looked around, and was almost at the top of the mountain, so he urged everyone to go quickly.
The women chattered and screamed: "My feet hurt so much, they must have worn out the skin!"
"My legs are so soft, I can't move half a step anymore!"
