Volume 2 The Rivers and Lakes in the Temple and Outside the Temple Chapter 20 (2)

Tongzhou, backed by the Holy Dynasty, is in the north and is in the north.

In the middle of the country, there is a place where there is perennial smog and angry winds, and the villagers who live more than ten miles away have never seen anyone who has come out of that place alive.

That place is called Yin Mountain.

From a distance, the world in that place seems to be infected with ink, and even in summer, the sun is shining outside the Yin Mountain, but it is rainy on the Yin Mountain.

There are many poisonous insects in the mountains, and there are many cold animals, such as snakes.

There are rumors among the mountain people that there is a black poisonous Jiao entrenched on Yinshan, and the entire Yinshan is his territory, so it will be rainy and rainy.

The rumors of the mountain people are not groundless, and once there really was a black dragon on this mountain.

It's just that later, a group of people came up on this mountain.

A group of people wearing golden armor and holding bright yellow flags settled on the mountain. But their entry did not dissolve the fog that shrouded this mountain, and even added a bit of mystery.

From time to time, the mountain people can see black birds flying into the mountain, and they often call it the falcon, and the people inside call him the pigeon falcon.

It has narrow, pointed wings, so it is not afraid of strong winds, and no matter how strong the wind blows, it will not affect it in the slightest, the pointed and hooked mouth can defend itself and hook things, and the claws are sharp and powerful, so that the prey or letter it catches will not be lost unless it dies.

That's right, this is the creature that connects Yin Shan with the outside world, or a tool.

The tamed pigeon falcon is used to deliver messages.

Whenever this black bird hovered in the mountains, a soldier wearing his golden armor, bent his finger to his mouth, remembered with a long roar, and then picked up a small yellow flag from behind him and shook it, and when the pigeon falcons saw it, they would swoop down and stop firmly in the soldier's hands.

After the soldier arrives at the letter, he will reward the pigeon according to the urgency of the letter and the status of the sender.

Letters in general are naturally just some meat, the meat of exotic beasts.

Special letters will give you some elixirs that will help the falcon improve its abilities in various aspects.

A very urgent letter is to the beast pill that is very precious to the alien beast.

Today's pigeon falcon circled twice in the air, and there was no familiar whistling and bright little yellow flag, but it did not feel tired at all, because it knew that it would get a good reward today.

The long-awaited whistle sounded, and the little yellow flag slowly enlarged in his eyes, and he stopped steadily on his arm that was colder than a branch, and the next thing was to wait for the soldier to take the letter, waiting for its reward.

The soldier removed the letter from its claws, then removed a token from its hooked mouth.

He glanced at the token, was a little surprised, and hurried into a cave.

The interior of the cave is bright and warm, with special moisture-proof torches hanging on both sides, and a bead set on the top every other way.

Normally, you don't know how many arrows and crossbows are pointed at you when you encounter a place with beads.

The soldier had a stack of tokens hanging from his waist, which he knew where it was to be used when he touched it, and showed one whenever he came to the place where it was inlaid with a bead.

Although the owner of the crossbow may be familiar with the messenger, if he does not take out the token, the crossbow arrow in his hand will become a weapon for life.

The tokens had been used up along the way, and the cave seemed to be at an end, with only a large black stone in front of him.

He straightened his back, he knew that the big stone wall would open later, and an old man would take what was in his hand, and then wait for him, like the pigeon falcon, just quietly waiting for him and the pigeon falcon's reward.

The boulder slowly rose, and the old man stretched out his shriveled hand, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Thirty-eight!"

Hearing this voice, his spirit was shocked, here, he has no name, all the honors, rights and rewards belong to Soldier No. 38 and Pigeon Falcon No. 38.

If he dies, there will be a new thirty-eight number to fill in.

The old man took the letter and the token, and hurried inside, and came to the edge of a cliff, and immediately someone blindfolded him, and then helped him to the hanging basket.

When he got out of the hanging basket, someone would pull him forward, usually for a quarter of an hour, and he would see again, and he could only wait outside the door, the red door carved with a dragon on it.

He also doesn't have a name, he only has a code name, which is called the messenger.

Number 38 was his subordinate, and he and his men were only responsible for picking up and dropping off letters, and the rest were unknown. Even more than ten years have passed, and he still doesn't know what this group of people are doing in this mountain.

When he can't deliver the letter, he will be buried in this mountain. If he wants to retire and go back to enjoy his family, the people inside will let him go.

But then he would be dumb and blind, and a cripple missing two thumbs.

Only those who can't speak, can't write, and can't see the light can they believe. And from time to time, people will test them to see if they have other ways to communicate with people.

He handed the letter and token in, and his mission was completed, but it was not known if he was another "Thirty-Eight".

The letter and token ended up in the hands of a white-robed man.

His name is Zhao Qingzhi, and he was also a famous general back then, but later he slowly disappeared in the court.

He was over forty years old, and the lines at the corners of his eyes were getting deeper.

He glanced at the token and threw it to the side, this level of token is not qualified to mobilize the people in this mountain.

When he opened the letter, he saw a hairpin and was stunned for a moment.

When he finished reading the letter, he fell into deep thought.

Eventually, he smiled and put the hairpin back in the envelope, along with the token.

"Go to the Genzi camp and transfer five captains to come over, and prepare to go to the White Lotus Temple. ”

The staff around him was shocked. In Tongzhou, there is no place he doesn't know, and there is no person he has no information. To tell the truth, in today's world, it is almost impossible to send five captains out.

Five captains, what kind of concept is that, that is, five little grandmasters, you can establish a few second- and third-rate forces wherever you go.

He cautiously asked, "Is there a Grandmaster appearing in the White Lotus Temple?" If there really is a Grandmaster appearing in Tongzhou and he doesn't know about it, it is his dereliction of duty.

Zhao Qingzhi smiled mysteriously: "No, it's just more than ten tricks." ”

The staff breathed a sigh of relief, it was just a trick, it was not his dereliction of duty, most of these small things were handled by those elm trees in the Confucius Temple. It's just that he still doesn't understand: "Then why go to the five captains?"

Zhao Qingzhi gently put the token and hairpin in his hand on the table.

"Isn't it better to do things for the future ruler of the Dragon Guard?"

......

Xu Changan followed Xiaobai all the way, and according to his estimates, he had already come out for one or two hundred miles.

At this point they went up a mountain.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, he could see the three words hanging on the temple in front of him: "White Lotus Temple." ”

When he got here, Xiaobai suddenly jumped out and climbed over the wall. Seeing this, Xu Changan immediately followed suit.

Under the leadership of Xiaobai, he walked all the way through the courtyard and finally stopped in front of a door.

He knew Xiaobai's virtue, there must be good things here, one person and one cat had a tacit understanding, they glanced around separately, made sure that there was no one around, and then pushed the door open.

Xu Changan and Xiaobai got in, and suddenly heard footsteps outside, and a person and a cat got under the bed.

The drunken monk walked in with a red face, and he fumbled to finally light the candle.

Xu Changan saw him, an acquaintance.

The monk who snatched the Blood Wolf Jade from the Zhao Mansion.

Xiao Bai's claws rested on the back of Xu Changan's hand holding the hilt of the sword, and Xu Changan knew that it was Xiao Bai who asked him to endure it.

Pushan lit the candle, patted his head to sober himself up, and then took out a blood-red wolf's head jade from his bosom.

Looking at the piece of jade, he was as happy as a child.

"I wonder what reward Master will give me when he receives the news?"

After saying that, he thought about it, stood up, and walked towards the bed.

Xu Changan and Xiaobai were shocked, could they have been discovered by him?

Pushan drunkenly walked to the bed, fumbled on the pillow for a while, and then sat back at the table.

There was an extra piece of jade in his hand, which was also a blood-red wolf head, two identical pieces of jade, and Pushan smiled with satisfaction.

Then he turned the candlestick, and a dark compartment appeared on the wall, and Pushan thought about it, and put one piece in, and the other one he placed casually under the pillow.

This scene was all seen by Xu Changan.

Suddenly, there was a flash of golden light outside, and it suddenly became noisy. Pushan hurriedly blew out the candle and walked out.

It was determined that Pushan would go away, and Xiaobai and Xu Changan climbed out.

He was about to turn the candlestick, but Xiaobai bit his sleeve.

Xu Changan was stunned for a moment, could it be that the good blood wolf jade in the collection was fake? But he still chose to believe Xiaobai, and he also had a high opinion of this great monk in his heart.

......

Pushan walked out, and saw only five men wearing gold armor and holding spears standing at the temple gate. Pu Shan felt frightened at a glance, these five people seemed to have come out of the sea of corpse mountain blood, and the bloody aura of their bodies was thicker than that of the old monk of their Blood Mountain.

The five people were shocked, and a coercion came from the five of them, and Pushan had big drops of sweat on his forehead, and he fell down involuntarily.

His heart was trembling, these were the five little grandmasters!

If he knew that because he sent someone to assassinate Chai Xintong and attracted five little masters, he was afraid that his intestines would be repentant.

The five people didn't talk nonsense, the spears in their hands turned into bursts of golden mangs, and in an instant, there was no White Lotus Temple on the White Lotus Mountain.

......

Blood Buddha Mountain.

An old monk dressed in a bloodstained robe looked in a hurry.

He just wanted to sacrifice the rosary and walk in the air, but he saw a monk in front of him, a monk wearing a crescent white monk's robe, an annoying monk.

The old monk's eyes were full of solemnity.

"You and I belong to the same sect now, and you want to stop me when I go to investigate the grave?"

The monk wearing a crescent white monk's robe smiled slightly, and slowly took out the ring knife from his sleeve.

"Cheap apprentice, help you solve the old one for the master, if you can't solve the small one, it will be a shame for the master. The white-clothed monk thought silently in his heart.

"Li Zhiyi!" the old monk shouted angrily and sacrificed the rosary in his hand!
