Chapter Twenty-Seven: Lanzhou Meeting, Armored Shura

It is said that after Chu Mofeng and Gu Zhen'er left Hanyang County together, Gu Zhen'er immediately went all the way north and drove towards Zhangye County, while Chu Mofeng was unhurriedly heading towards Lanzhou At this time, in Lanzhou City, Qingli and the three of them had been waiting in the inn for five days, and they still didn't see Chu Mofeng coming to join them, and they couldn't help but feel anxious.

In the guest room of the inn, Rakshasa slapped the table and said, "No, this demon girl can't help it, I'm going to go back to find the little boy." After speaking, he was about to turn around and go out, Qingli saw this and grabbed her and said, "Okay, Luo Demon Girl, you calm down for a while, since the little boy said that we should wait here, then we have to believe that he will come back, what if you go back to look for it like this, what if you get separated?"

Immediately, Qingli motioned to Xuanji to say a few words to persuade Rakshasa as well, only to see that Xuanji understood Qingli's meaning, stood up and walked to Rakshasa and said, "It's not a good idea for you to be in a hurry, and it's not a good idea to go back and find it, let's wait here with peace of mind." Come, drink some water to dissipate your anger first, and let Xiao Er come up with some wine and food in a while, the three of us haven't sat down together for a meal for so many years, and today Qingli and I will accompany you to get drunk and rest. ”

Qingli then turned around and went downstairs to ask for some wine and food, and told Xiao Er to serve it later, and then turned back to the house to chat with Rakshasa in a moment.

At this time, Chu Mofeng was only ten miles away from Lanzhou, along the way, Chu Mofeng saw a poor person and put a few pieces of money on people, when he was about to arrive in Lanzhou City, only one of the three bags he took back from Gu Zhen'er's hand was left, and before entering the city, Chu Mofeng checked it and estimated that there were probably more than fifty pieces, and then urged the horse to go to the city.

found someone on the side of the road and asked for the next way, Chu Mofeng walked in the direction he pointed to the White Horse Inn, When passing a Taoist temple, Chu Mofeng felt the burning sky behind him shake a few times, thinking that it was a bump in riding a horse, so he didn't take it seriously. After arriving at the White Horse Inn, he asked the guest room of the three of them, and then Chu Mofeng walked upstairs with the bag, and was about to knock on the door when he heard the sound of pushing the cup and changing the lamp in the house, Chu Mofeng immediately pushed open the door and shouted inside: "Sisters, I'm back." ”

I saw that the three people in the house had already drunk red ears and red ears, and a smell of wine in the house came to their faces, and I saw Rakshasa holding a wine glass in one hand and stepping on the stool with one foot and saying: "I think back then, this demon girl went down and down the sky and the earth without a trace, who dared to care about me." After speaking, he drank the wine in the cup.

And Xuanji changed her arrogant image in the past, holding a chicken leg in her hand and biting it with a big mouth, and said vaguely in her mouth: "This princess was forced to learn what piano, chess, calligraphy and painting every day at that time, embroidery workers and girls are red, how can these things have the pleasure of fighting swords and rivers and lakes, chicken legs should be eaten like this, the previous way of eating jasper in a small family is complete nonsense." ”

And Qingli was already lying on the table at this time, pouring wine into her mouth with a wine glass, while smirking, and kept chanting: "Xiao Er, six more chicken legs, and three more pots of wine." ”

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng held his forehead, put down the package and turned downstairs to get the decanting soup, brought the decanting soup and poured it into the three of them, and then beckoned Xiao Er to take away the leftovers from the table, and then went downstairs after settling the three girls.

Coming to the counter, Chu Mofeng made up for the money owed by the three girls these days, and then asked Xiao Er: "When did you give the three guests in the Tianzi room upstairs the wine and food?" Xiao Er asked puzzledly: "It was sent by Chenshi, is there any problem?"

Chu Mofeng counted the wine jugs that came down, a total of eighteen, and then shook his head helplessly, and said to Xiao Er: "Cook me a few hot dishes, and I will also eat some food and then go up to rest." ”

Then Chu Mofeng found a place by the window and sat down, patiently waiting for the meal, at this time, a guest next to him chatted while eating, and one of the fat men said: "I heard that a strange thing happened today in that nameless Taoist temple in the city. The thin man on the other side said, "Tell me what happened." ”

I saw that the fat man took a sip of wine and said: "It is said that the armor enshrined in the temple has been trembling for some reason today, and the Chenguang Taoist in the temple led the Taoist priest to recite the Tao Te Ching more than ten times to no avail. ”

The thin man asked in surprise: "It's not so mysterious, but I know a thing or two about that armor, it is said to be the armor of a great general during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, due to the separation of political power during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, resulting in years of war, it is said that a general fled here, rested in the Taoist temple for a few days, left this armor when leaving, and then lost his trace, and a unique weapon he used was also missing, it is said that his armor and weapons seem to have spirituality, if they are very close to each other, there will be a sense of each other. ”

The fat man said thoughtfully: "Then is it because this weapon was born and arrived in our Lanzhou City?"

The thin man then ate a few mouthfuls of food, and said without caring about the vegetable juice dripping from his mouth: "Whatever, it has nothing to do with us, let's eat." Then the two continued to stagger.

As the so-called speaker has no intention of listening, Chu Mofeng wrote down the conversation between the two word for word while eating, and then quickly finished eating and got up and left the inn, walking in the direction of the Taoist temple.

When I came to the door of the Taoist temple, I saw a little Taoist priest sweeping at the door, and when he saw Chu Mofeng coming over, he hurriedly stepped forward, saluted Chu Mofeng and said, "This layman, why don't you visit this temple at this time?"

Chu Mofeng immediately saluted the little Taoist priest and said, "Little Daoist, I heard that your temple has been enshrined in an armor all the year round, but today this armor is shaking as if it has vitality, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

The little Taoist priest then saluted again and said: "Don't hide it from the layman, this armor has been enshrined in the side hall before, there has never been a movement, today somehow, suddenly as if summoned by something, keep trembling, my master Chenguang Dao Chang led a group of brothers and sisters to chant in the side hall today, and finally let it quiet down." ”

At this time, Chu Mofeng also felt that the burning sky behind him couldn't stop trembling, and he was about to ask the little Taoist priest again, when he heard someone in the Taoist temple shouting: "The master is not good, that armor has begun to tremble again." The little Taoist priest heard the shouting in the temple, and hurriedly saluted Chu Mofeng and said: "Forgive me, there is something in the temple, and the poor Taoist is going to go in to help, if the monk wants to enter the temple to worship, please take care of yourself." Then he turned and ran towards the temple.

At this time, Chu Mofeng looked at the open gate and the figure of the little Taoist priest in the distance, and then walked towards the Taoist temple with firm steps. As soon as I entered the Taoist temple, I heard the whole Taoist temple echoing the sound of reciting the "Taishang Lingbao Sanyuan Sanguan Elimination of Sorrow and Confession", and followed the direction of the sound to the side hall, only to see that the door of the side hall was wide open, and there was a complete set of armor on the offering table in the hall, but the style was completely different from the Mingguang armor of the Sui Dynasty.

I saw that the iron of this armor was fully covered, with three sets of sharp corners evenly stretched out from the top of the head to the lower sides, and the body was a one-piece style, and two sets of barbs also protruded above the shoulder pads on both sides, and the position of the shoulder armor pieces also reached above the elbows, and the pleated clothes and large-mouth pants that should have been inside were replaced by a pair of barbed gauntlets on the arms and a pair of shin armor with spikes at the knees, and the leg skirt was also a whole wrapped armor.

This armor sat upright on the offering table, as Chu Mofeng approached the side hall step by step, the armor trembled more and more frequently, and the burning sky behind Chu Mofeng was also trembling, at this time, seeing this scene, the Chenguang Dao Leader couldn't help but stop chanting, turned his head to look outside the hall, and saw a young man carrying a trembling weapon, walking towards the side hall step by step.

The Taoist chief of Chenguang hurriedly stopped the Taoist priests from chanting, got up and walked over to meet Chu Mofeng, came to Chu Mofeng and saluted and said: "I don't know if the layman is coming, I miss the welcome, I hope that the layman will forgive me, the poor Dao Chenguang is the master of this view, I don't know what the layman has to do when he visits this temple." ”

Chu Mofeng saluted to the Morning Light Dao Elder and said, "It's really abrupt to visit Xia, it's no wonder that Wanwang Dao Elder is actually here for it." Immediately, Chu Mofeng stretched out his finger and pointed to the armor in the side hall.

Daoist Chenguang asked puzzledly, "I don't know what the layman wants?"

Chu Mofeng pulled out the Burning Sky, regardless of everyone's opposition, walked into the side hall, and put the Burning Sky in his hand on the armor, it was strange to say, when the Burning Sky was placed on the armor, the two items immediately stopped trembling.

Seeing this scene, the Chenguang Dao Chief couldn't help but gasp, and then said to Chu Mofeng: "Layman, please follow me to drink tea in the guest room." Then he led Chu Mofeng to the reception room.

Came to the reception room, after the two sat down, the Chenguang Taoist asked Chu Mofeng when he came to Lanzhou City, Chu Mofeng told the Taoist temple when he arrived in Lanzhou City today, the Chenguang Taoist stroked his beard and fell into contemplation, after a while, the Chenguang Taoist came back to his senses and said to Chu Mofeng: "I remembered some old things just now, and I hope that the monks will forgive me for being distracted for a while." ”

Then the Chenguang monk said to Chu Mofeng: "The monk doesn't know, this armor was left by a general who fled to this time during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and has been stored here for more than 50 years. At that time, this armor needs to be handed over to this destined person. When I saw it today, the layman should be the person who was destined as the general said. ”

Chu Mofeng immediately shook his head and said: "The Taoist is so bad, how can he be virtuous in the future, how can he rashly take away the things in the view, it is the so-called uselessness, and I can't agree to it." ”

Hearing this, the Chenguang Daoist smiled and said: "The layman is surprised by this, the Taoist also pays attention to karma, the previous general separated the armor from the weapon is the cause, so now the layman will bring the weapon back and reunite with the armor is the result, since this is the case, then this armor should be taken away by the layman, and the monk should not shirk again." ”

Chu Mofeng had no choice but to nod yes when he heard this, and then the Chenguang Daoist led Chu Mofeng back to the side hall, Chu Mofeng bowed to the armor three times and said: "The general's armor is above, and Chu Mofeng is sincerely wearing armor today. ”

Immediately, Chu Mofeng got up and took off the parts of the armor one by one, and then put them on one by one, the moment he put on the armor, the black armor all over his body seemed to be injected with new life, and the light around his body flashed away.

At this time, Chu Mofeng was covered in armor, and tried to walk a few steps, originally thought that this armor would be very heavy, who knew that this armor was very light, and then Chu Mofeng made a few jumps and rolls in a posture, not clumsy at all, and then Chu Mofeng took off the armor, and asked the Taoist priest of the Taoist Temple to hire a carriage outside the door to load it, and returned to the main hall of the Taoist Temple to donate some money, said goodbye to the Taoist chief and a group of Taoist priests, and walked to the inn with the armor and the burning sky.

When they returned to the inn guest room, Qingli and the three of them had already woken up, and when they saw Chu Mofeng coming in with a piece of armor, they couldn't help but be puzzled, Qingli opened his mouth and asked, "Boy, when did you come to Lanzhou, why don't we know?"

Chu Mofeng smiled and said, "Sister Qingli, do you want three more pots of wine or six more chicken legs?"

Qingli immediately blushed when she heard this, and then feigned anger: "What else have you heard, come quickly, otherwise the three of us will tie you to the chair tonight." ”

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's gone, it's gone, I haven't heard anything." ”

At this time, Rakshasa raised his eyes and looked at the armor that Chu Mofeng had placed on the table, and then turned to Xuanji and said, "How can I look at that armor so familiar? ”

Xuanji rubbed her head and said, "I can't remember clearly, I only remember where I saw it, it was from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but I can't remember who it was." ”

Then Qingli asked Chu Mofeng: "Boy, where did you get such an outfit?" and then Chu Mofeng told the three girls what happened today.

After listening to this, Qingli said: "Then you can keep it, and if you want to go to the battlefield one day, just wear it to the battle." ”

Rakshasa looked at the shape of the armor and asked, "Doesn't this thing have a name? This is not the standard Mingguang armor of this dynasty, it must have a name." ”

I saw Xuanji rummaging through the various parts of the armor back and forth, and sure enough, he found a text in the armor, which read: "Treasure armor Shura, the divine soldier destroys the demons, forged with blood, and protects our country." ”
