Chapter 373: Winning the Immortal Sutra

Zhang Dafei and others sent Zhou Ping home, and the Zhou family thanked them and kept them for five days in a row.

On this day, the afternoon feast. Zhou Shouxin drank happily, his face was flushed, and he said: I want to marry Zhou Ping to Zhang Dafei.

When Zhang Dafei heard this, he hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, no." ”

Zhou Shouxin was annoyed and said: "The son is unmarried, my daughter is not married, your family is rich, and my family is not bad, not to mention that the son is kind to her, why not?"

Zhang Dafei said: "I happened to save Ling Qianjin, this is true, but I want to marry her, who do others think of me?"

Zhou Shouxin said: "Zhang Gongzi is too worried, my family wants to marry my daughter to you, what else do others have to say?"

Zhang Dafei shook his head and said, "It's not proper, it's inappropriate." ”

Zhou Shouxin asked, "Is the son interested in someone?"

"Not really. ”

"My daughter is ugly?"

"Not ugly, not ugly. It's beautiful, it's beautiful. ”

"Is she virtuous?"

"She's virtuous and virtuous. ”

Zhou Shouxin slapped the table and shouted, "That's it." I have several children, the first one is married and married, only this little daughter, I love her like a pearl in the palm of my hand. Now, if she can be rationed to the gentleman, she will be her own, and I will be relieved. ”

Zhang Dafei just bowed his head and said nothing. The scene was awkward. Liu Xianping stabbed Hu Qiong, and Hu Qiong understood.

Hu Qiong stood up and said to Zhou Shouxin: "Uncle Zhou, I toast you with a glass of wine, I have something to say." ”

"Well said. Zhou Shouxin picked up his wine glass, and Hu Qiong saluted him and drank a glass of wine.

Hu Qiong asked: "Uncle Zhou, let me ask, if you let Zhou Ping marry Zhang Gongzi, is Zhou Ping willing?"

Zhou Shouxin glanced at him and said, "It's my daughter who told her mother that she wants to marry Zhang Gongzi." ”

Hu Qiong said: "Yes, yes, the reason why Zhang Gongzi didn't marry was because he wanted to marry her again before saving her, and he was afraid that others would gossip." Now I want my daughter to marry, which is a beautiful thing that people can't ask for. I, Brother Liu and Brother Zhang, the three of us are sworn brothers, close to each other, we discussed, and this matter was decided. It's just that we are on the guest side, there is no dowry, this is a family heirloom jade pendant, please accept it for a smile. ”

As he spoke, he took off the jade pendant from his body and gave it to him with both hands, Zhou Shouxin reached out and took it and put it on his body. Hu Qiong said: "We still have to go to the north, and after the fact, we will come home to get married." If Zhang Gongzi repents of his marriage, we, as brothers, will not forgive him. However, I guarantee that Zhang Gongzi will never go back. ”

Zhou Shouxin didn't believe it, and asked Zhang Dafei: "Is this the case?"

Zhang Dafei saw that the matter had come to this point, so he had to be happy, stood up, and said: "Once the marriage contract is completed, I will not regret it." It's just that the person who didn't agree just now was actually saving her first, afraid of being laughed at by others. Now I'm so happy!"

Zhou Shouxin laughed, so he started drinking again, and they all drank crookedly, and then he stopped.

After staying for a few more days, Zhou Shouxin let Hu Qiong and the other five people leave.

The five of them rode north to see the excitement of the competition for the "Book of Immortals". Walked on the road for a few days. On this day, walking into the mountains, the mountains here are not towering, and the vegetation is not luxuriant, so walking in the mountains, the road is flat, and the vision is still open.

As he was walking, he saw a person running from the north, covered in blood, and saw Hu Qiong and a group of five, and shouted: "Run, there is danger ahead." ”

Liu Xianping asked him, "What's the danger?"

The man did not answer, but ran away like a rabbit in a panic.

When the five of them heard that there was danger ahead, they just liked it, and they whipped their horses and ran north. After running for a while, I saw two people in front of me who seemed to have broken their legs, and they supported each other, stumbling towards the south, and ran closer, with a few feather arrows stuck behind their backs.

Liu Xianping asked, "What danger lies ahead?"

These two people broke their legs, but they didn't run as fast as the previous man, so they only heard them say: "The officers and robbers in front of us have been killed together, and we have finally escaped, so run quickly, otherwise we will lose our lives." ”

Although they couldn't run like flying, the two of them also limped away.

Liu Xianping told Zhang Dafei that the tomb robbers must have obtained the "Book of Immortals", and then the King of Huaibei led the officers and soldiers to take advantage of the fire to rob and seize the "Book of Immortals".

It turned out that Liu Xianping and Hu Qiong were following Wang Hui. Wang Hui followed the king of Huaibei to the north, and all the people came here, ready to compete for the "Book of Immortals", Wang Hui was afraid of being weak, so he went to contact the owner, and was stabbed to death by Liu Xianping. Therefore, Liu Xianping and the two knew what was happening before.

The five of them were walking, but they saw four people running on the mountain road in the distance, and when they ran closer, Hu Qiong and the other three recognized it.

These four people are the "Four Heroes" who are very famous in the rivers and lakes and like to watch the excitement.

The "Four Heroes of Jianghu" ran to the front, and when they saw each other, they kindly said, don't go, the battle in front was fierce, and we finally escaped from death.

Hu Qiong and Liu Xianping knew that Zhang Haining was actually in command in the official army, but of course they were not afraid and insisted on going to see it. The "Four Heroes of Jianghu" were injured and were anxious to flee for treatment of their injuries, but when they saw that these five people had no fear, they took their leave.

The five men whipped their horses and ran forward, and in the distance they heard shouts and screams. The five of them immediately stood up and looked at the mountain pass, others saw it, and Zhang Dafei saw it, and felt that the feng shui here was excellent, and it was a treasure land. The surrounding mountains are continuous, such as dragons and tigers, the middle land is towering and flat, the forests are luxuriant, the streams are around, and there is a faint king's atmosphere.

But this treasure land is now miserable, the tomb has been dug up, the coffin board is thrown everywhere, bones and limbs can be seen everywhere, around it are heroes and heroes from all over the world, thieves and giants, now they are surrounded by the surrounding officers and soldiers, strong bows and hard horses, like raindrops to shoot down, Feng Shui treasure land has become a tragic area in the world. They wailed and struggled in the middle. Blood flowed everywhere, and corpses piled up like mountains.

Zhang Haining stood on a high post with the two princes, commanding the soldiers to kill. Zhang Haining shouted loudly: "Bold fanatics, digging ancient tombs, stealing national treasures, the law of the country is intolerable, if you don't surrender, you will be killed." ”

The leader of the robbers saw that more than half of his side had been killed and wounded, and he was scattered, and he did not surrender, but died in the locality, and before he could read a word in the "Book of Immortals", people were about to die, and where could a dead person still be a god? He had to throw away the big knife, take out the "Book of Immortals" from his arms, raise his head high, and shout: "Help......

When Zhang Haining heard this, he sent a general to run down the mountain, ran to the leader, took the "Book of Immortals", ran back, and handed it over to Zhang Haining.

Zhang Haining took the "Book of Immortals", the "Book of Immortals" was already full of blood red, opened a corner, there were three seal characters on it, it was "The Book of Immortals", it was undoubted, and turned around and handed it to the prince.

The prince took it in his hand, and he didn't look at it, but handed it to an old eunuch beside him, and said, "Put it away." ”

The old eunuch took the "Immortal Sutra", took out a white cloth, and carefully wiped the Sutra, the "Immortal Sutra" was already soaked in blood, where could it be wiped clean?

The prince said to the king of Huaibei beside him: "Winning the "Book of Immortals" is really a miracle. The emperor's brother followed me into Beijing to protect the "Book of Immortals" and dedicated it to the emperor. ”

After the explanation, the prince replied to Zhang Haining: "Without further ado, I'll leave immediately." ”

Zhang Haining agreed, turned around, and ordered the officers and soldiers: "Shoot." ”

The officers and soldiers were ordered, took arrows and drew bows, and prepared to shoot. At this time, a general ran up the hill and reported: "Lord Zhang, there are two generals who say that they are friends of the adults and want to come to see the adults. ”

Zhang Haining was in his hands and said, "Let them come in to see me." ”

"Yes. The general received the order, ran down the mountain, and led the two to the mountain.

These two people are Hu Qiong and Liu Xianping.

The two have met Zhang Haining. Zhang Haining was very happy, and said first: "The two generals are here, just right, to protect the "Immortal Sutra" into Beijing. ”

Hu Qiong said: "Master Zhang, congratulations on getting the "Immortal Sutra". ”

"These are all today's saints, blessed with heaven, comparable to immortals, and should get the "Immortal Sutra". ”

Hu Qiong asked, "Lord Zhang, what should I do with these characters in the rivers and lakes?"

Zhang Haining was very deep in the city and resourceful and decisive, he thought that although these two generals were named Pinglu Generals, they did not serve in the court, but they were still young and could not be prosperous in the future, so he sold them a favor first, and then said: "Temporarily escort them to the government and punish them by the local government." ”

"The Book of Immortals" is a treasure of great significance, how many people have lost their lives for it, and now it is afternoon, and the officers and soldiers are not allowed to rest, so they immediately go on the road to protect the "Book of Immortals" and return to Beijing safely.

After walking northward for more than an hour, we walked out of the mountainous area and came to the thoroughfare, where there was no end in all directions, and the officers and soldiers set up camp beside the avenue and buried pots for cooking. Zhang Haining sat in the military tent and invited Hu Qiong to meet him alone.

The host and the guest sit down. After a few polite words, Zhang Haining said: "This time to protect the "Immortal Sutra", the credit is no less than the last time you saved the emperor." I know that there must be many people who covet this "Book of Immortals", and this journey is extremely dangerous. General Hu must help me protect the Book of Immortals. ”
