Shangguan Yun hurriedly stopped and persuaded: "Master be slow, let Zheng Ang explain this matter clearly before it is too late, lest the rivers and lakes say that you and I don't ask the reason for the situation in the future, so I will take Zhuang Yan's life." ”

The Tianlong monk slammed Zhuang Yan into the ground, smashing his head and bleeding, Zhuang Yan bared his teeth and cracked his mouth, but he didn't dare to hum, Tianlong said: "Amitabha, the poor monk almost made a big mistake, a sin and a sin." ”

Shangguan Yun helped Zheng Ang up, and pushed the palace for him, and soon Zheng Ang woke up. When he saw Zhuang Yan fall on the ground and his head was bleeding, he couldn't bear it, so he turned his head and stopped looking at Zhuang Yan.

Monk Tianlong asked slowly: "Master Zheng just said that the shopkeeper Lu was harmed by Zhuang Yan, I don't know what basis there is?"

Zheng Ang sighed and said bitterly: "Zheng has always been by the side of the chief shopkeeper, and the chief shopkeeper has always treated Zheng like a parent. But for some reason, in recent months, the chief shopkeeper has always been wary of our master and apprentice, and even talked a lot less. Later, Zheng heard some rumors, saying that Master had transported a large number of winter cotton cloths and copper and iron to the Yanyun area a few months ago, and also said that Master's move was to help Jin destroy the Song Dynasty. Zheng Ang naturally didn't believe it, and laughed it when he heard it, but he didn't expect such a tragic thing to happen last night, Zheng Ang really regretted not being at the beginning. ”

Shangguan Yun sighed: "Shopkeeper Lu has promised to give money and food to help the rebels in Wancheng resist gold, and Shopkeeper Lu is suspicious of Zhuang Yan, Zhuang Yan must be jealous, and he will kill Shopkeeper Lu by not doing anything." ”

The Tianlong monk lifted Zhuang Yan up again, stretched out his palm and shouted: "Zhuang Yan, you have committed a great crime, and you even framed others, which is really indignant to people and gods." Although the poor monk is an outsider, he can't see you committing evil and adultery, and if you want to blame the poor monk, you can do it. As he spoke, he slapped his palm.

Zhuang Yan was paralyzed into a mess of mud early, and without even struggling, he was corrected by the Tianlong monk on the spot.

Monk Tianlong threw away the corpse in his hand and said, "Amitabha, the culprit is dead, the evil has been eliminated, and the poor monk should leave." Shangguan benefactor, the poor monk believes in you for the time being, and will settle the life lawsuit with you in the future. Then he turned and strode away, and was soon two or three miles away.

Zheng Ang picked up Zhuang Yan's corpse and said: "Shangguan Sect Master, no matter how my master is, he is my master after all, he is unkind, I can't be unjust, I want to go back to Dongting Mountain to bury him and the chief treasurer, please forgive Zheng Ang for not being able to accompany him." ”

Shangguan Yun saw that he was affectionate and righteous, coupled with his uprightness, he was very happy in his heart, and arched his hand and said: "There is still something to do in the future, Brother Zheng, there will be a period later."

The two separated outside Suzhou, and Shangguan Yun went west again, planning to find Ning Jiu'er and give him a name. After walking for two days, he came to the Yangtze River again, Shangguan Yun turned to the waterway, he took the cargo ship of the 72nd merchant in the south of the Yangtze River to go up the river, and after 20 days, he finally came to the Dongting area. Shangguan Yunxin said: "The matter of looking for Sister Jiu is not in a hurry for a while, I still have some affection with Zhong Xiang Yang Mi, the owner of Dongting Water Village Baizhai is dead, and he failed to save his life at the beginning, so it is better to go to the memorial service." He got off the boat and headed for Chongxiao Garden, on the west side of Dongting Lake.

Now that Dongting Ninety-Nine Water Village has regarded Shangguan Yun as a friend of life and death, this time he didn't have much trouble to arrive at Chongxiao Garden. Bai Cong'e was dead, Zhong Xiang Yang was not there, Xia Cheng was in charge of the village, and the two brought some incense wax paper candles and came to Bai Cong'e's grave.

Shangguan Yun's expression was solemn, he lit a pillar of incense, bowed to the grave a few times, inserted the incense into the incense burner in front of the tomb, and sighed for a while: "The lord of Baizhai has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for many years, although he is a person in the martial arts, he cares about the people of the world, and let the people and horses in the village gallop on the battlefield to kill the enemy, I Shangguan Yun admires it very much, and I don't want the lord of Baizhai to die young, and die so unjustly." ”

Xia Cheng saw that Shangguan Yun sincerely worshiped Bai Cong'e, and he felt very relieved in his heart, and he said gratefully: "Shangguan Sect Master has a deep affection for me, and there is nothing to repay Dongting Water Village. Then he hated again: "Jin Wancheng killed the owner of my village, Dongting Water Village will definitely fight with him endlessly, even if he is strong in martial arts, Xia Cheng will meet him for a while in the future." ”

Today, no one in Dongting Water Village is Jin Wancheng's opponent, Shangguan Yun was afraid that Xia Cheng would give his life in vain, so he persuaded: "Brother Xia, Jin Wancheng's kung fu is strong, he is already in the sky, and the power is not the enemy of you and me, revenge is not a moment, Brother Xia first endures it, and can only act after the characters in the rivers and lakes are separated from him." ”

Xia Cheng nodded and said: "Xia knows this truth, so he still stays in the village to operate, if there is chaos today, it is the time for me to contribute, and this revenge has to be put on hold." ”

Shangguan Yun put his mind at ease and said: "As the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, let Jin Wancheng be rampant for a few more days." ”

Xia Cheng asked, "What are the plans of the Shangguan Sect Master?"

Shangguan Yun didn't want to say it directly, so he said vaguely: "I plan to go back to the Heavenly Demon Sect first." ”

Xia Cheng said: "Xia thought that Shangguan was going to Bianliang. ”

Shangguan Yunqi said: "Why does Brother Xia think so?"

Xia Cheng was shocked: "Didn't Shangguan Sect Master receive the news?" He shook his head when he saw Shangguan Yun, and said: "Xia received the news from the old man, now that the Tartar has set up Zhang Bangchang as the emperor, Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan also plan to take the Emperor Taishang and the emperor away, with the hope of the great Song Limin, the old man and they are following General Yue Fei to stop this matter." If you really let the Tartars take the two emperors captive, the Great Song Dynasty will be over, since the opening of the Taizu Taizong Dynasty, my Great Song Dynasty has gone through more than 160 years of nine emperors, but I didn't expect to lose the country in the hands of my generation. Xia Cheng said that he was getting more and more depressed later, obviously he was very sad.

Shangguan Yun was shocked when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "When did Brother Xia receive the news?"

Xia Cheng sighed: "Just two days ago, they learned the news half a month ago. ”

Shangguan Yun arched his hand and said: "Brother Xia, I need to help Brother Yue in the future, and I can't talk to you anymore and say goodbye." ”

Xia Cheng saw that he was acting freely, and he was very anxious between his words, so he didn't keep it, so he let Shangguan Yun leave.

Along the way, Guan Yun traveled day and night, although it was extremely difficult, he was unwilling to delay for half a moment, and it took more than ten days to finally arrive in Bianliang. Dozens of miles outside the city, there were many ruins and broken walls, and countless houses and buildings were burned down. Worse still. There were corpses and severed limbs everywhere that no one had picked up, and a foul smell came, making people almost want to vomit, Shangguan Yun was shocked in his heart, Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan finally broke their promise.

Shangguan Yun tore off a sleeve to cover his mouth and nose, strode towards the city, and when he came to the Nanxun Gate, he saw tens of thousands of ragged people and officials dressed in plain clothes, and everyone looked heartbroken, looking at the north with tears in their eyes.
