Chapter 65: The Arrow
Hundreds of warrior monks stood solemnly in the martial arts training ground with martial arts sticks in their hands, and Kongwen stood at the forefront, holding sticks in one hand, standing up to the sky and the earth.
After Huiyuan came up, he shook his head slightly when he saw this, and said to Huo Qiji, who came up immediately: "Let the layman smile." β
Huo Qijian said as he walked: "The master is polite, the warrior monk of the Liberation Sect, in terms of momentum alone, should be the head of the nine major factions. β
The layman praised it. β
After Huiyuan finished speaking, he continued to walk towards the mountain gate with Huo Qiji.
Xing Yunqi saw Master Kongwen at a glance, so he tugged at Huo Qiji's sleeve and said, "Master, Master, it's Master Kongwen." β
Huo Qiji smiled and asked, "Do you want to go over and say hello to Master Kongwen?"
Xing Yunqi said softly: "I want to go!"
Huo Qiji patted Xing Yunqi on the shoulder and said, "Then let's go!"
Xing Yunqi said "um" and ran over.
Kong Wen wanted to go to the mountain gate to meet Master Bozu, but he saw a small bald head running towards him, it was Wu Forget, who had followed Huo Qijian down the mountain not long ago.
Xing Yunqi no longer wears a monk's robe, only the shiny little head retains the fate between him and Shikongmen.
It won't be long before a new one emerges, and Wu Forget will slowly disappear from this world, there is only one Xing Yunqi, as for whether Wu Forget can live in Xing Yunqi's heart, it depends on Xing Yunqi himself.
Time is the great enemy of the world, but it is also the great love of the world.
Standing still in front of Kongwen, Xing Yunqi clasped his hands together and saluted, "Master Kongwen!"
Kongwen put one hand on his chest and returned the salute and said, "I've seen the donor." β
Xing Yunqi's expression was a little gloomy, he understood the meaning of the word "donor", after going down the mountain, the master had told him that the ancient sage Yun "can't have both fish and bear's paws" , life in the world, need to understand the word willing, willing to give, one to give, and then to divide one, it is another science, exchange, what they have paid, and what can be gained, whether they are willing to give, or exchange, the measurement between the gains and losses, from their own inner scale, how to support the point of this scale can be in the middle of this scale, is a study that needs to be studied.
Xing Yunqi felt that the master had spoken very deeply, but at least he had understood that if he chose to be a disciple of the master, he would have no fate with Shikongmen.
Besides, I still want to marry a wife and have a baby.
Thinking of this, he raised his head and said with a smile: "Master Kongwen, you will always be Master Kongwen, although I am not enlightened, but I am still the child who was sent to the mountain gate in the first place, I can't forget every master in the Kongmen, and I will never forget it in the future." β
Looking at this smile, Kongwen felt that it was like watching the rising sun.
Nodding with a smile, he said: "Come and go, you can know it in your heart, Amitabha, may the Buddha bless you!"
After Shangguan Ziming climbed the mountain, he stood still with Gongsun Riyue who followed closely, looked at the mountain gate of the Liberation Gate, and saw the warrior monk standing in the square in front of the door, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Sun and moon, let our people wait here, and the people who save the empty door say that we are bullying people with many people. β
Gongsun Riyue smiled and said, "Shizi, isn't it?"
Shangguan Zi laughed loudly and said: "Isn't it also a skill to have a lot of people? Let's go, let's go over and take a look, and see how Mr. Huo wants to talk to the people who release the empty door and where to talk!"
In front of the mountain gate, under the steps, Huiyuan and Huo Qiji stood.
Looking at Xing Yunqi, who was running towards Kongwen, Huiyuan bowed his head slightly and said, "The layman has a heart. β
Huo Qiji smiled and said: "This kid is simple and kind by nature, presumably Senior Brother Kongwen will not make a move on a child." β
When he first climbed the mountain, Kong Wen made a rash move in order to learn a thing or two with Huo Qiji, and at that time Huo Qiji protected Xiao Yunqi, who was still Wu Wang, behind him, but now he was relieved to let Xing Yunqi go to see Kong Wen, and the decision in this is nothing more than two words, trust.
This is Huo Qiji's attitude to the release of the empty door again, and it is also his sincerity, although a thousand people seem to be oppressive with power, in fact, it is Huo Qiji who is creating a condition for himself to have an equal dialogue with the empty gate.
It is also to give the empty door a face.
Otherwise, he will go to talk about the conditions when he ascends the empty door one by one, is he arrogant or underestimated the empty door?
At the foot of the mountain, Huiyuan and Huo Qiji were sparring, not necessarily to test whether he Huo Qiji was qualified to negotiate conditions with Shikongmen.
If it is up to Shangguan Ziming to talk about it, I'm afraid there are only two results.
Either Shangguan Ziming led people to dismantle the empty door, or His Royal Highness the Prince of the World touched his nose and obediently took people back to Shikun City.
There is no opportunity to talk.
This is also why King Xiliang chose Huo Qiji, and Shangguan Ziming was willing to be a green leaf.
Kong Wen and Xing Yunqi walked over to this side together, and Huo Qiji asked, "Master, where do you see where it is convenient to talk?"
Huiyuan turned his head, his eyes swept to the five hundred armored soldiers waiting in line opposite the hundred warrior monks, and then looked at the two Shangguan Ziming who came over, and when the two approached, he put his hands together and said to Shangguan Ziming: "Amitabha, the old monk wants to invite His Royal Highness the Prince to drink hot tea in the door, I don't know what His Royal Highness the Prince thinks?"
Shanguan Ziming returned the salute and said: "Master Xie, this son is not thirsty, as for whether to go to the door or not, Mr. Huo has the final say." β
Huo Qiji thought about it in his heart, he was not afraid of anything, but he was afraid that he would put the prince in danger, and he would not be able to make a decision for a while.
Huiyuan understood what Huo Qiji was worried about, so he said: "There are discussions in the main hall, in front of the golden statue of the Buddha, please rest assured." β
Huo Qi nodded to Shangguan Ziming, and said to Master Huiyuan: "In this way, the junior still has a reluctant request." β
Huiyuan said with a smile: "The old monk knows, but the main hall can't accommodate so many people, and I ask the layman to make proper arrangements." β
Huo Qi bowed quickly and said, "Master Xie understands. β
After speaking, he nodded at Gongsun Riyue, Gongsun Riyue returned a look, and then waved over there, and someone trotted over with fifty people.
Seeing this, he frowned and wanted to speak, but Huiyuan shook his head at him.
Xing Yunqi had already returned to his master's side and was led by Huo Qiji.
Huiyuan said: "The layman is very worthy of the contemptible, everyone, please!"
Kongwen and Huiyuan led the way, and everyone followed.
Shi Huai and Shi Yuan were already waiting in the main hall, and the injured Shi Fa and Kong Jian did not appear.
Huo Qiji's ears moved slightly, the corners of his mouth rose, and he whispered to Gongsun Riyue: "Let your people wait outside the hall and act when the opportunity arises." β
Gongsun Riyue nodded, and then ordered everyone to wait outside the hall.
Everyone entered the hall, and Shi Huai and Shi Yuan took a few steps forward, first saluted Master Huiyuan, and then Shi Huai, who was the head of the house, bowed his head at Huo Qiji and said: "Huo Jushi, after a few days, we meet again." β
Huo Qi smiled and said, "It seems that I have a relationship with the Buddhas. β
Shi Yuan didn't pay attention to Huo Qiji, but stepped forward and made a Buddhist salute at Shangguan Ziming and asked, "Dare to ask if this Excellency is the Lord of Shikun City, His Royal Highness the Prince?"
Shangguan Ziming was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the master on the other side to talk to him first, so he returned the salute and said: "Yes, I am Shangguan Ziming, dare to ask the master's law number?
Shi Yuan's face tightened, and he said with a little embarrassment: "The poor monk's law is Shi Yuan, and he is the first seat in the Discipline Hall of the Liberation Gate. β
After speaking, his body was slightly sideways, and he introduced to Shangguan Ziming: "This is the abbot of the contempt sect, the master of relief." β
Shangguan Ziming saluted Master Shihuai and said, "Shikun City Lord Shangguan Ziming has seen Master Abbot. β
Relieved and returned the salute, "I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Shangguan Ziming smiled and said to Gongsun Riyue beside him: "Riyue, that Master Shiyuan is similar to you. β
The meaning of the words is that Master Shiyuan is not qualified to talk to his Shangguan Ziming.
Shi Yuan was self-defeating, and he was very embarrassed for a while.
Shangguan Ziming smiled secretly in his heart, you are a person in the sect, and you are still a lot worse than Lao Tzu playing here.
Huo Qiji looked at Master Huiyuan and asked: "Master, today I went up the mountain with His Royal Highness the Prince, first of all, I came to visit the two eminent monks of Guimen Shifa and Kongjian, and conveyed my gratitude to King Xiliang, after all, the two monks were in the palace to solve the doubts of King Xiliang and chant for many days, and suddenly said goodbye, and the prince was very worried. β
Huiyuan said: "Layman, the old monk is old, what should be done has been done, and the rest of the matter will be relieved by the abbot of the sect to solve the confusion of the layman, can the old monk leave first?"
After speaking, he nodded at Relief and shook his head slightly.
Huo Qiji said: "Master Lao is leading the way, master please!"
Shi Huai and Shi Yuan saluted the departing Hui Yuan, and Shi Yuan's eyes moved slightly.
Shi Huai stepped forward and said: "Layman, His Royal Highness, the elder brother of the Dharma is sick, and Kongjian is guarding his teacher, and it is inconvenient to come out to meet the guests, so Lao Wei will thank the prince on behalf of the junior brother." β
Shangguan Ziming snorted coldly and said, "Xie, how do you want to thank you?"
Shi Huai didn't care, and asked with a smile: "The old monk hand-copied ten Buddhist scriptures and sent them to the palace, I don't know what His Royal Highness the Prince wants." β
Shangguan Ziming glanced at Huo Qiji.
Huo Qiji smiled and said, "Then I will thank Master Shihuai for the gift for the prince." β
After thinking for a moment, he raised his head and asked, "Layman, dare to ask what the prince means?"
Huo Qiji nodded.
Shi Huaifu asked, "What does the layman mean?"
Huo Qi smiled and said, "Master's question is redundant. β
Shi Huai shook his head and said: "It's not redundant at all, the rivers and lakes are the rivers and lakes, the court is the court, this matter is very important, the old man needs to be cautious, since the layman has said this, then the old monk will understand." β
Huo Qiji patted the little bald head beside him and said, "Go, wait for the master outside the hall." β
Gongsun Riyue took Xing Yunqi and sent it out of the palace to give an explanation.
He smiled and said, "It's a blessing to forget!"
Huo Qi said: "According to Master Huiyuan, Xiaoyunqi has Buddha nature, and he is naturally blessed!"
He said with regret: "It's still a layman's vision, but this door has lost a Buddha." β
Huo Qi smiled and said: "In my opinion, the Buddha is the Buddha, not whose Buddha, master, what do you say?"
Shi Huai glanced at Huo Qiji, and said, "It's the old man who is in love, and what the layman said is very true." β
Huo Qiji said: "It's good that the master understands what I mean, whether it's Tubo or the Central Plains, Buddhism is useful to the world, where can't you chant and chant Buddha?"
Master Shi Huai didn't expect Huo Qiji to suddenly say such a thing, so he was silent.
Shi Yuan, who had not spoken, suddenly made a move, but a big handprint of King Kong smashed into Shangguan Ziming, and shouted loudly: "Senior brother, don't listen to this person's nonsense, do it quickly!"
He was stunned for a moment, but Shangguan Ziming, who was just an ordinary martial artist, didn't expect someone to attack him, and he couldn't dodge it for a while.
The moment of the moment.
ββββββββββββ
Li San'er was really tired, and he couldn't die anyway, so after pretending to pass out on the ground, he closed his eyes and snoring sounded instantly.
Seeing this, several people with spears looked at me, and I looked at you, and they all took two steps back, and one of them said, "Why don't you come forward and take a look?"
The other said, "Go, and we'll keep watch for you." β
The man who spoke first glared and said, "Why don't you go? Why should I be?"
The man next to him who didn't open his mouth said: "You two don't quarrel, listen carefully, that person seems to be asleep!"
The other two listened carefully, and it was true, one of them scolded: "His uncle, Lao Tzu has been a thief for so many years, and it is the first time I have seen such an arrogant person sleeping in front of our cottage." β
After scolding, he turned his head and asked beside him: "Two brothers, you said that this person will not have any origins, do you remember the situation when the eldest sister and they came to the mountain in the first place? β
One of them said: "This is reasonable, I remember when I was a child, there was an old saying in Zhuangzi, what is God? God just does what people can't do, what is this master? Look at the right protector, is it high? Why can the eldest sister be the boss? Then the right protector listens to her." β
The other person sneered and said: "You two are really capable of talking, have you ever seen a master dressed like this? Tell you two, you two were not in front of the door just now, this person is from Erlong Mountain, and said that he came to send news to our eldest sister." β
As he spoke, he went in to report that the man had come out and asked, "Where is the man?" β
The man who was guarding the door with him before pointed to Li San'er, who was asleep, and said, "Isn't this here? β
After speaking, he stepped forward and picked up Li San'er, who was asleep, and said, "Hey, big brother, wake up, don't sleep, get up quickly!"
"Huh?
After sleeping for a while, Li San'er obviously didn't sleep enough, rubbed his eyes, and then remembered what he had done, and hurriedly got up and asked, "Big brothers, I'm sorry, I'm so tired all the way." β
Go in and tell the man, "Go, come with me, our eldest brother wants to see you." β
Seeing Fang Yiai, who had now changed his name, Li San'er hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I've seen the big boss." β
Fang Yiai, who was about to say "um", was startled, stood up and said, "Alas, don't scream, I am now the left protector of our Niujiao Mountain, and the boss of our Niujiao Mountain is the eldest sister, do you know?"
Li San'er didn't know what kind of character this eldest sister was, since people said it, he listened to it, and after nodding his head, he took out the handwritten letter of the dragon head Yuan Lai from his arms and handed it to Fang Yiai.
Fang Yiai Zhanxin looked at it, then looked at Li San'er and asked, "Are you two dragon heads injured?"
Li San'er nodded.
Yuan Lai said in detail in the letter, including the evaluation of the martial arts of the two teenagers, if it was before, the buyer and seller of this ticket, Yi Ai, would never have done it, because he couldn't beat it, Heifengling and Erlongshan had suffered a big loss, and if he rushed up, wouldn't his brain be in water?
But now it's different, they have a very powerful right protector.
Fang Yiai took Li San'er to see the eldest sister.
This is an opportunity to make a great contribution, this little aunt and grandmother and eldest sister, thinking about intercepting the road every day, proposed to go to the nearby Zhuangzi town to fight the autumn wind, but was scolded by the eldest sister.
Is a thief who doesn't go out to fight the autumn wind still called a bandit? It's a pity that he didn't dare to say this to his eldest sister.
Li San'er was waiting outside, and Fang Yiai said loudly: "Eldest sister, right protector, good news, good news, there is a big fat sheep passing by our Niujiao Mountain, eldest sister, this is not guarded by the guards, we can do a big vote." β
Hearing this, An Xiaodao jumped up from his seat, squatted on it and asked with a smile, "Is this true?"
Fang Yiai was stunned when he saw the crescent-like eyes of the eldest sister, and there was a murderous aura in this smile, he took a deep breath and said: " Eldest sister, this matter is true, there is a caravan from Wuling City, going to Bazhou, I don't know how this caravan offended the guard gang, the guard gang not only did not accept the business of the caravan guard, but also sent people to send news to the major mountains, bluntly said that the mountains block the road at will, do not need to give the guard gang face, when I received the news, I thought, there are both Heifeng Village and Erlong Mountain in front, but I am afraid that when we reach our Niujiao Mountain, this fat sheep has already been slaughtered, is it not in vain to let the eldest sister think about it, so I didn't tell the eldest sister and the right protectorγ β
An Xiaodao jumped off the big seat, stepped on the desk with one foot, crossed his hands on his hips, and raised his head and asked, "Then why did you say that the fat sheep is here again? Could it be that the conscience of Heifeng Village and Erlong Mountain has found out?"
Fang Yiai glanced up, then lowered his head and said: "It was Erlong Mountain who sent someone to send a letter over, there are two masters in this caravan, they defeated the master of Shi Dazhai in the Black Wind Village, and injured the dragon head in Erlong Mountain, the dragon head is not angry, and he sent someone to send a letter over, I am afraid that he wants to borrow the hand of our Niujiao Mountain to take revenge!"
When An Xiaodao heard this, he scolded: "Zuo Protector, are you thinking about bones all day long? Black Wind Village and Erlong Mountain can't be defeated, so we can win?"
The angry An Xiaodao and his little chest bulged one by one, Fang Yiai thought silently in his heart, he couldn't look at it, he couldn't see it, he couldn't keep it if he saw the little brother.
He lowered his head and arched his hand: "According to the news given to us by Erlongshan, there is a young man who is proficient in a kind of fingering, but he can fly stones to hurt people, as for his fist and foot kung fu, it is unknown, and the other boy has good fist and foot kung fu." I think about our right protector archery is unparalleled, where is the kung fu of what kind of stone is comparable, besides, the reason why the Yuan Lai and Yuan brothers can dominate one side is that the two of them cooperate in the battle, if these two people fight separately, it is not a small bragging, if you can't win it in ten rounds, our name is read upside down. β
She Yilong raised his eyes and glanced at Fang Yiai.
Fang Yiai was shocked into a cold sweat.
An Xiaodao turned around and asked, "Right Protector, why don't we do a big one?"
After speaking, he said in a low voice: "Brother Long, anyway, we don't really rob, just have a good time, with you by your side, there will be no real accidents." β
Fang Yiai pretended not to hear.
She Yilong was very interested in the young man in the other party's mouth, so he nodded and said, "Big sister, it's okay!"
An Xiaodao threw a wink at She Yilong, and said with a smile: "I knew you could agree." β
She Yilong said coldly: "This matter is over, you have to go home with me." β
An Xiaodao pouted and said, "Okay, okay!"
When Fang Yiai heard this, she was secretly happy in her heart, this little witch was finally leaving, and her good days were finally coming.
An Xiaodao said loudly: "Left Protector, take the people and horses, and follow the eldest sister to go down the mountain to catch sheep." β
She Qilong smiled at the corner of his mouth.
When Fang Yiai heard this, he said repeatedly: "Eldest sister, it's still early to go down the mountain, and the people of this convoy have not yet arrived within the range of my Niujiao Mountain." β
An Xiaodao was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Are you playing this girl?
Fang Yiai suddenly felt a little aggrieved.
Then I was a little happy, it seems that being a thief is still the most professional Uncle Ben.
Bowed, his head never dared to rise, just lowered his head and said: "If you go back to the eldest sister's head, generally we want to block the road and rob, we all go to the distance in advance to inquire about the news, if you find the fat sheep, you will come back to find a suitable place to rob, arrange manpower, like this caravan, according to Li San'er's estimate, it will take two days to arrive at our Niujiao Mountain, so we only need to arrange people to keep an eye on it now, and when the fat sheep is about to arrive, the eldest sister will lead someone to rush out and kill him by surprise." β
An Xiaodao nodded and said: "Yes, yes, this eldest sister is going to test you, I'm afraid that you have been the left protector for a long time and have forgotten your true skills." Alright, I'll leave this matter to you, and you can inform me when the time comes. β
Fang Yiai was overjoyed in his heart, hugged his fists and said, "My subordinates will do it." β
Two days later, the mountains and forests on both sides of the official road at the foot of Niujiao Mountain were full of people.
Fang Yiai was fortunate enough to hide near the eldest sister's head, and the right protector was hiding in the tree next to the eldest sister's head.
It's been more than half an hour, An Xiaodao is a little impatient, and asks: "I said Zuo Protector, are you accurate in finding out this news?
Fang Yiai looked around, there was no figure in the distance, and said with a smile: "They have a lot of cars and people, they walk slowly, the eldest sister is a little restless, our brothers who inquired about the news said that it is very close to our Niujiao Mountain." β
Speaking of this, someone ran down from the top of the mountain and said in a suppressed voice: "Eldest sister, the left protector, here, here, just three miles away." β
Fang Yiai hurriedly asked, "Can you see clearly?"
The man replied, "I can see clearly, five carriages, four of them pulling goods, about twenty people." β
Fang Yiai nodded, and said to An Xiaodao: "Eldest sister, get ready, and this knife you have to hold it steadily, it's so imposing, as for the knife on your waist, you don't need to pull it out." β
An Xiaodao said impatiently: "I know, I know, when they get to the position of the tree, I will jump out, and you will follow out, do you hear?
Fang Yiai nodded and said, "It's all arranged, just wait for the eldest sister to wave the knife." β
After speaking, he stretched his neck and looked around, and said, "It's coming, it's coming, hide it quickly!"
An Xiaodao said in a low voice: "Okay, wait for my order." β
The caravan was still Yuan Xi's head, he frowned, and shouted behind him: "Suisui, Xiaofei, be careful, there is an ambush." β
The convoy stopped moving forward, and everyone drew their swords one after another.
An Xiaodao frowned, what is going on? Before he jumped out, he was discovered? No matter what, this girl's momentum can't be lost.
Holding the big knife in her hand, she rushed out, stood in the middle of the official road, and shouted at the convoy fifty zhang away: "I ...... this mountain is my drive."
Bandits on both sides came out.
Yuan Xi stared at the little girl in front of her, and the little girl was shouting the second sentence, "I also drove this way......"
Suddenly rushing out of so many people, the carriage was startled, and the funny man who was already staring at the person in front rushed out.
An Xiaodao, who hadn't finished shouting the slogan, shouted, "Mom, Brother Long save me!"
Yuan Xi was startled and shouted, "Funny, come back!"
Then he quickly squatted on the ground and grabbed it with his hand, a stone flew out, and between the lightning and flint, his body flipped over, the long sword in his hand flicked, and a feather arrow was knocked away.
Before he had time to think about it, he shouted loudly: "Be careful, there are archers on the other side." β
An Xiaodao was also stunned, four or five feet in front of her, a dog whimpered twice and died.
A feather arrow was inserted into Funfei's body, and only half of the arrow was left.
