Shaolin Temple, since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, has been the Taishan Beidou in the martial arts, and now it is the first gate in the world on the rivers and lakes, with huge power and not to be underestimated.

Hearing that the Shaolin Temple sent an envoy, Emperor Baoding and Duan Zhengchun glanced at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes, and then, they saw Duan Zhengchun get up and leave the table and walked to the dripping eaves to greet each other.

At this time, under the guidance of the palace guards, two middle-aged monks walked through the patio and came to the front, and a monk with a dry appearance immediately bowed down and said: "The little monk of Shaolin Temple, Huizhen, Huiguan, see the prince." ”

Duan Zhengchun returned the salute with his fists and said, "The two of you have come from afar, but it is hard work, please serve tea in the hall." ”

When he came to the hall, the two monks did not sit down, and Hui Zhen said: "Lord Wang, the poor monk came to present a letter to the emperor of Baoding and the prince of Zhennan on the order of the abbot of our temple. As he spoke, he took out a paperless package from his arms, untied it layer by layer, revealing a yellow cover of letters, and presented it to Duan Zhengchun with both hands.

Duan Zhengchun took it and did not open it directly, but said: "The imperial brother is here, and the two of them happened to meet each other." "At the moment, the two monks of Huizhen and Huiguan were brought in.

At this time, the banquet had been interrupted, Emperor Baoding was discussing martial arts with Lin Pingzhi and Huangmei monks, Duan Yu, Mu Wanqing and others sat on the side and listened, and when they saw Huizhen and Huiguan coming in, they quickly stood up.

"Brother Huang, this is a letter from the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Xuanci. ”

Duan Zhengchun presented the letter, Emperor Baoding opened it and saw that the letter was written to his two brothers, and said a large paragraph of polite words such as "Weizhen Tiannan, benevolence and virtue", "all the people look up, and heroes return to their hearts", but when it comes to the topic, he only says: "My senior brother Xuanbei Zen Master led four apprentices to your realm, and I would like to take care of it with the friendship of the Buddha and the martial arts." The following signature is: "Shaolin Zen Temple Shizi Xuanci Heshi Baibai".

Emperor Baoding stood and read the letter, which means respecting the Shaolin Temple, and Huizhen and Huiguan respectfully stood on the side. Emperor Baoding said: "Please sit down, the abbot of Shaolin has a decree, everyone is a disciple of Buddhism, and the martial arts are in the same vein, but the teaching is within his ability, and he should obey the order." Master Xuanbei knows Buddhism, martial arts are profound, and he is admired by the lower brothers, and I don't know when the master will come? ”

Who knows, hearing his words, Huizhen and Huiguan suddenly knelt on their knees, kowtowed, and then cried bitterly......... He's dead!

Sure enough, at this moment, I saw Monk Huizhen standing up straight and crying, "My master is ........ Passed away. ”

"Oh, it's not good, this letter was supposed to be sent by Master Xuanbei himself, could it be that he died in Dali? ”

Emperor Baoding and Duan Zhengchun glanced at each other, and hurriedly asked: "Master Xuanbei has returned to the west, there is one less monk in the Buddhist family, and one master of martial arts has lost, I really regret it, but I don't know when and where Master Xuanbei passed away?"

Hui Zhen said: "The abbot got the message a month ago and knew that the 'four wicked people in the world' were going to come to Dali to embarrass the emperor and the king of Zhennan. Dali Duan's Weizhen Tiannan, since he is not afraid of his 'four evildoers', but I am afraid that the two do not know, and the deacon under his command has been plotted, so he sent my master and four disciples to Dali to tell the emperor and listen to the dispatch. ”

"Hey!"

Hearing this, Lin Pingzhi sneered to himself, others don't know Xuan Ci's thoughts, can he still know? Xuan Ci sent Xuan Bei to Dali, obviously to help Dali Duan deal with the four evildoers, in fact, he was afraid that Dali Duan would fight back with all his might after being attacked by the four evildoers, at that time, even if the four evildoers were high, they would not be able to withstand the power of a country, and the three evils of the people next to him would be enough, but Ye Erniang was his old lover, and he could not be damaged.

Even though he doesn't know the relationship between Xuan Ci and Ye Erniang, as the current abbot of Shaolin Temple, Xuan Ci only promised to turn Ye Erniang and abandon evil and follow good, Xuan Bei will definitely pat his chest and agree, and do his best.

However, this matter is secret, Lin Pingzhi can rely on the prophetic prescience of the traverser to guess the reason, but Emperor Baoding can't, he is thinking with gratitude at this time: "No wonder the Shaolin faction has been respected by everyone for hundreds of years, and the abbot of Xuanci takes the safety of the world's martial arts as his own responsibility. He said in his letter that he wanted us to take care of Master Xuanbei's master and apprentice, but in fact, he sent someone to report and help him. ”

Thinking of this, Emperor Baoding immediately bowed slightly and said: "Master Abbot is generous, my brother really doesn't know how to repay him." ”

"The emperor is too humble. ”

Hui Zhen said: "My master and apprentice and Cheng Nanlai, on the twenty-eighth day of last month, in Dali Luliangzhou Body Ring Temple to place an order, that knows that in the early morning of the twenty-ninth day, the four of our brothers and sisters got up, and they heard a scream, and when we rushed over, we saw the master...... Our master was plotted to die in the grove outside the Ring Temple......" At this point, he was already whimpering and unable to make a sound.

Emperor Baoding sighed and asked, "Did Master Xuanbei fall for the evil secret weapon?"

"It's not. ”

Hearing Huizhen's words, in addition to Lin Ping, the rest of the four people, such as Emperor Baoding and Huangmei Monk, Duan Zhengchun, and Gao Shengtai, all showed surprise on their faces, and they all thought: "With Master Xuanbei's martial arts, if it is not a hidden weapon that seals the throat with blood in his body, even if the enemy suddenly attacks from behind, he will never be completely powerless to resist and die, in Dali Kingdom, which evil sect master can have such a ability to kill this poisonous hand?"

"On the third day of the new year, the twenty-eighth night of last month was six days ago, and the four evildoers attacked in these days, so it seems that they should not be the four wicked men. ”

Several people are wise people, so they naturally know that Duan Yanqing should be nearby in the past few days, and he must not go to Luliangzhou, which is thousands of miles away, to kill people, and although his martial arts are high, he is not necessarily higher than Master Xuanbei, even if he is too high, it is very limited, and it is impossible to kill Master Xuanbei quietly.

In this room, everyone's thoughts flowed, and Huizhen wiped away his tears, and then said: "We helped the master, his old man's body was cold, and he had been dead for a long time, and there were only a few traces of fighting in the woods, we chased it out, and the senior brothers of the Shenjie Temple also helped to search, but we couldn't find the slightest clue about the murderer within dozens of miles." ”

"Alas!"

Hearing this, Emperor Baoding couldn't help but sigh and said gloomily: "Master Xuanbei died for my Duan clan, and he suffered in the territory of Dali. ”

Huizhen and Huiguan hurriedly knelt down and thanked him, and Huizhen said again: "After the four brothers of my senior brother discussed with Master Wuye, the abbot of the Bodyring Temple, they temporarily housed the master's body in the Bodyring Temple, and did not dare to cremate it, so that the head of the sect could see it in the future. My two senior brothers rushed back to Shaolin Temple to report to the head of the family, and the little monk and Huiguan rushed to Dali to report to the emperor and the king of Zhennan. ”

Emperor Baoding nodded, and said approvingly: "The five-leaf abbot is old and virtuous, knowledgeable, and knows a lot about martial arts, what does his old man say?"

Hui Zhen didn't dare to hide it, and immediately replied: "The abbot of Wuye said: The person who killed my master is very likely to be a figure from the Gusu Murong family. ”

"Gusu Murong?"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and the yellow-eyed monk couldn't help but exclaim, "Master Xuanbei was killed by the enemy's move 'Great Vedic Pestle' in the chest?"

Hui Zhen was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly responded: "The master's expectation is good, I don't know how...... How to ......"

Huangmei monk said: "I have heard for a long time that Master Shaolin Xuanbei's 'Great Wei Tuo Pestle' kung fu is a must in martial arts, but this martial art is naturally powerful, but after all, it is too domineering, and it seems that it is not my Buddhist disciple.。。 ...... Alas!"

"Hah!"

Hearing this, Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but laugh softly: "Your old monk is also pertinent in what he says, the work of this 'Great Wei Tuo Pestle' is indeed very cruel." ”

Huizhen and Huiguan listened to Huangmei Monk commenting on their master, and they were already dissatisfied in their hearts, but they respected him as a senior monk, and they didn't dare to talk back.

At this time, Duan Zhengchun asked curiously: "Senior brother has not been out of the house recently, how do you know that Master Xuanbei was hit by the 'Great Vedic Pestle' and died?"

"Alas. ”

The Huangmei monk sighed: "Master Wuye, the abbot of the Ring Temple, expected that the murderer was the Gusu Murong clan, so naturally he didn't speculate randomly. Second Brother Duan, there is a saying in the Gusu Murong clan, called: 'With the other way, give back to the other body', have you heard of it?"

"This ........."

Duan Zhengchun muttered: "I've heard this sentence before, but I don't really understand the meaning. ”

The yellow-eyed monk muttered: "With the other way, give back to the other body." Well, in the other way, give back to the other ......" As he spoke, a hint of fear suddenly flashed on his face.

Emperor Baoding, Duan Zhengchun and he have known each other for decades, never saw him fearful, that day he defended the three masters with his own strength, although he was defeated and injured, his expression was still calm, and at this moment he showed fear, which shows that the opponent is really extraordinary..........
