Chapter 14: The Fall of Hengshan

Qilian Mountain stretches the ancient road, an old nun, with a man and a woman and two young disciples, slowly ascending the cliff plank road.

I don't know what year and month this plank road was built, and the thick logs are embedded in the rocks, which looks dilapidated. Some of them are already shaking when they step on them, and some of them look black and rotten. I don't know if you step on it, the log will break. In that case, they will fall off a thousand-foot cliff.

The old nun walked in the front and walked tentatively.

This old nun couldn't tell how old he was, he was skinny, but he was in good spirits, and he was wrinkled, but his face was full of red light. During the walk, there was a sound of wind and thunder in her abdomen, which showed that she had been lucky and ready to step on the air.

"Master Runfan, you walk slowly and be careful with your step. ”

The male disciple is a shaved monk, and he is only sixteen or seventeen years old. He has a delicate appearance, fair skin, a shrewd face, a crisp voice and a soft tone when he speaks, and he looks at his extraordinary bearing, as if he does not eat fireworks in the world.

Listening to the words of concern of the disciple and grandson, the old nun smiled and nodded, showing kindness.

The little monk turned his head again, "Little junior sister, don't be afraid, grab the placket of the senior brother's clothes." ”

Behind the little monk was a little nun of twelve or thirteen years old.

This little nun has five short statures, but she has bright eyes and bright teeth, a pair of crystal clear big eyes, and a smile that shows infinite wisdom.

This pair of golden boys and girls is not an ordinary person, but the hope of the Hengshan faction!

Hengshan stretches between Hengyang and Xiangtan, although the mountains are like forests, but the landform there is worthy of the word elegance - the white dog in the sky, and the sea of fog under the feet. Being immersed here, it is like coming to the Heavenly Palace.

Climb a peak at will, full of verdant greenery, where there are endless rare herbs.

Nanyue Hengshan, also known as Shoushan.

It is not that the mountains have longevity, but that people have longevity, and there are countless local centenarians.

This is the credit of the Hengshan faction, the three hundred nuns in the faction, they often use panacea to help the people, only for incense, not for gold and silver. There are few male disciples in the sect, and this little monk was given to the Hengshan faction by Master Kongwen.

Hengshan Zhuni is quite loved by the people.

However, forty-five years ago, the Hengshan faction was looted by the golden cicada, the medicine warehouse was burned down, and the scripture pharmacopoeia was robbed;

The great doctor and the great medicine were martyred and died;

In order to prevent the sect's peerless "Dugu Nine Swords" from falling into the hands of the wicked, he threw the cheats into the fire.

The golden cicada was furious, seriously injured Xiaofan, and took the person away.

failed to get "Dugu Nine Swords", Jin Chanzi was violent and evil, and ordered his subordinates to burn down the Medicine Buddha Hall, Mazu Niangniang Hall, and Guanyin Bodhisattva Hall.

The three saints of Hengshan are no more, and since then the Hengshan faction has been in a slump, and it has almost been removed from the nine major factions (upper nine gates).

Now, forty-five years later, with the help of the local rich gentry and the common people, the Hengshan faction has gradually recovered, the temple has been erected, and the three halls of gold have been reshaped. Zhongnu relied on his memory to recover a large number of pharmacopoeia, but unfortunately, some profound things could not be comprehended, but many were lost.

This time, when I heard that the beggars were suffering, Hengshan sent three people to come all the way to come from thousands of miles without any hard work.

The three of them finally walked out of the plank road, and the old nun let out a sigh of relief, turned around and said to the two disciples: "Finally out of Qilian Mountain, you will be able to reach Jiuquan in a few days." ”

"Master, why do we have to come, the beggars have nearly a thousand disciples, can't they be worth a few flower thieves?" The little monk grabbed the little junior sister's hand, and the little junior sister jumped off the last section of the plank road.

"You can't say that. The old nun said with a smile: "Dugu Nine Swords" is the foundation of the Hengshan faction, but later the nine swords were missing six swords, and they were already broken. It was still the master of the empty news who modified the three moves from the Shaolin Temple's mastery of "Demon Slaying Sword" and "Xuankong Fist" and gave them to us; Later, the leader of the beggar gang, Hong Seventeen, changed three more moves from the "Dog Stick Method", all of which were calculated to the ninth layer. This is the completion of "Dugu Nine Swords". This kindness, we can't wait to repay it, now that the beggars are suffering, how can Hengshan sit idly by?"

At this time, the little nun smiled and said, "Master, you are talking about human feelings, but you don't say what is in your heart." With that, the brothers and sisters looked at each other and smiled.

The old nun smiled bitterly and said, "You two little clever ghosts, I really can't hide anything from you. Yes, the ancestor brought you out this time to let the people in the martial arts know that there is hope for our Hengshan faction. ”

Just as the master and apprentice were talking and laughing, they suddenly heard a shout of killing in the distance, followed by the sound of weapons colliding.

The voice was fierce, presumably a battle of life and death.

The old nun asked the two children to hide in the woods and ran to watch by herself, but the result was that two bandits were killed in one place.

One of the bandits shouted loudly: "Fang Tianhua, your Gongye Leopard, Hong Chengkui, who has the highest martial arts in Heifeng Village, is dead, and you can't support it alone, so it's better to belong to my mountain." ”

Fang Tianhua was already scarred, and he still fought hard, cutting down a minion and said: "My three brothers in Heifeng Village changed their ways more than ten years ago, and the government has already recognized us, how can we go down the old road again! ”

"Hahaha!" The bandit leader laughed wildly: "If you fall into my hands today, how can I let you go, kill you, and then end your lair, and in the future, there will be only me Zhang Gangdao and a gang in Qilian Mountain!

Between the words, Runfan Lao Ni has divided good and evil, seeing that the good generation is rarely bullied, how can Lao Ni see death and not save it.

"Amitabha!"

After a Dharma horn, Lao Ni flew out of the air, and the bee needles in his hands continued to fly, injuring more than a dozen people in an instant.

Zhang Bangdao was shocked, and saw that Runfan Lao Ni's martial arts were very high, and he knew that he was not an opponent, so he ran away.

As soon as the bandit ran away, the minions no longer had the will to fight, and they also ran away.

At this time, Fang Tianhua wanted to chase, but was stopped by Runfan and said: "This benefactor, but he can tolerate people and tolerate people, let them live." ”

"This master!" Fang Tianhua knelt down for Runfan and said, "They are a group of evil bandits, and keeping them is also a scourge to the people, so it is better to kill them to ensure long-term safety?"

Runfan shook his head and said, "Listening to what the donor just said, it was also more than ten years ago that he changed his evil ways and returned to the right?"

Fang Tianhua said: "Yes." ”

"Then how do you know that they can't change their ways?"

"This ......" Fang Tianhua was speechless, just kowtowed and said: "Today, the master wants to save it, and we can save my life, I can't repay it, just a few dozen taels of silver, please smile." ”

Runfan smiled and said: "My Buddha is merciful, saving people is not for money, the donors are too angry, you should look at the Dharma more." I have here some books of Scripture for you to give to you, and it will be good to read them often. ”

"Oh......" Although Fang Tianhua inherited the good tradition of Heifeng Village to reform and return to righteousness, he was a rough man in the end, and he couldn't read a few big characters, let alone read.

But in the face of the life-saving benefactor, how could he say nothing, so he accepted it with an embarrassed face.

But Runfan refused to accept his money, Fang Tianhua said hurriedly: "If you don't accept it, it will be a slap in my face, if you don't want this money, I don't want it." With that, he threw the money on the ground, turned around and walked away.

How could you let the silver be thrown on the mountain in vain, seeing that Fang Tianhua had already gone away, the old nun smiled bitterly and picked up the silver, and muttered: "This silver can also be used for incense, when I return to Hengshan, I will pray for blessings for you." ”

The old nun had done a good deed and was in a good mood, but when she came back, she found that the two disciples were gone.
