Chapter 384

Situ Qiao saw the expressions on everyone's faces, but he also knew everyone's thoughts, and said: "You are all the leaders of the same faction, so you naturally know the names of Zhuo Buli and Jin Wuxin." It's just that at that time, I was just out of the world, but I didn't know the names of these two people. I still wonder who these two people are. It's just that after the old monk finished speaking, Monk Hongjing's face instantly turned pale, his originally panicked eyes disappeared, and his gaze became extremely fierce. This monk was born white and fat, and always had a smile on his face, looking like the Maitreya Buddha in the temple, which made people involuntarily feel close. It's just that at this time, it was like a different person, his face was gloomy, his eyes were like knives, and he said word by word: "Since you already know, we have nothing to say." But if you want to kill me, you have to think about Master Dong, whether you can handle it!"

The old monk was still at a loss, as if he didn't understand what Monk Hongjing was talking about. After a while, he sighed and said, "Donor, when you took the degree to our temple that day, the old man knew that our temple would be troubled from now on. After that, there were many people in the rivers and lakes to the temple to make trouble, Nanjing garrison yamen, Nanzhili to punish the envoy of the Yamen, and even the capital Jinyi Wei have sent people to the temple, although he did not say what to do, but the old man also knew some news. The donor, one servant and two masters, has a strange identity, and took Lord Xue's handwritten letter, but Du Mu is written by Lord Li himself, this is a big face, even the old man does not dare to be your master. I had to accept apprentices on behalf of the first teacher, and the donors were included in the monks of our temple. In the decades that followed, every year the donor had to go out and travel, but the whole temple could not restrain you. Now think about it, after the donor left the gate of Dabao'en Temple, the monk named Hongjing disappeared, or Zhuo Buli, or Jin Wuxin. When you are called Zhuo Buli, you are doing things for Lord Xue. When you become Jin Wuxin, you are working hard for Lord Li again. The donor is left and right, making a windfall, although there have been many bloody cases over the years, but he is happy to enjoy peace in our temple. There are few in the world for this scheming. ’

"When I listened to this old monk, I was so weak that I seemed to be able to die at any time. It's just that what he said is extremely weird, and the more I listen to it, the more frightened I become. I didn't expect Hongjing to have such a fat monk, and he actually had this background. The Hongjing monk sneered: "Senior Brother Hongdao, I have called you Senior Brother for decades, but I have not owed it to the Great Bao'en Temple. If I hadn't been manipulating from it, Da Bao'en Temple would have been burned to the ground by a fire long ago, and you would still be the abbot of this temple since you have already guessed my identity, then we might as well make a deal. So many people died in the Dabao'en Temple tonight, and all of them had great backgrounds. Needless to say, Lord Shi has something to do with Jinyiwei and Dongchang. Three of his ten subordinates were spies of Jinyiwei, and there was also a fan of Dongchang. Not to mention Wei Qianhu, although he lost power in Xiaolingwei, he also had a backer in the capital. The death of any of these people is a great trouble. What's more, more than a dozen people died overnight in Dabao'en Temple, and this thing is just trying to hide it, but I am afraid that I can't hide it. At that time, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Xiaolingwei will all send masters to Dabao'en Temple to investigate the case. Senior Brother Hongdao, although Lord Liu treats you well, and Grandpa Zhang is also your friend, but this matter is too big, can you handle it? Don't forget that there is also Lord Dong, the governor of Shandong, you should know his temper, even if Lord Liu and Grandpa Zhang are in person, he may not buy it. If I hadn't contributed all these years, Shandong officialdom would have collapsed long ago. If you are embarrassed by me, Master Dong will definitely not be able to let you go. Senior Brother Hongdao, you have to think clearly......

"When Monk Hongjing was talking, I saw Monk Hongdao raise his right hand and stab a sword into Monk Hongjing's throat. ”

When Situ Qiao said this, everyone was shocked again. Situ Qiao paused for a moment, and then said: "When Monk Hongdao made a move, I saw it clearly. The speed at which he took out his sword didn't seem to be fast, because he raised his hand, took out his sword, and stabbed into the throat of Monk Hongjing, and I could see every movement clearly. It's just that if I can see it clearly, with the martial arts of the monk Hongjing, it is not difficult to dodge this sword. But he didn't dodge, and could only watch as the long sword in the hand of the Hongdao monk pierced his throat.

"Monk Hongdao's sword is not deep, only three inches at most, but these three inches are enough to take the life of Monk Hongjing. Since the Hongjing monk was recognized by the Hongdao monk, he could see that he was already on full alert, and he would attack and kill the Hongdao monk at any time. Rao is like this, the sword of the Hongdao monk stabbed clearly, but he didn't even cover it, and the sword was already in the throat.

Monk Hongdao retracted his right hand, and the long sword had shrunk into the sleeve of his monk's robe. It wasn't until the sword body was withdrawn that a stream of blood erupted from the throat wound of the Hongdao monk. He didn't snort, he fell backwards, and fell to the ground with a thud. It was only at this time that I realized that the Hongdao monk was so quick that he had reached the realm of returning to simplicity. When he made a move, although it was as fast as lightning, every change in the long sword in his hand was perfect, and although it was clear to the bystanders, the speed was really unimaginable. At that time, my martial arts were low, but I also knew that people who could use tricks to this level could only be done by the top masters in the rivers and lakes. The monks Shi Da, Wei Qianhu, and Hongjing I met that night were all amazing artists. It's just that compared with this Hongdao monk, it is not worthy of lifting shoes for him. ”

The Huashan faction, the Kunlun faction, the Qingcheng faction, the Songshan faction and other sects are all famous for their swordsmanship, and Liu Yong, Chu Danyang, Xu Chenghe, Lin Yilang and others are all great experts in using swords. Although these people don't look down on Situ Qiao, they just agree with his words. The lifelong pursuit of a famous swordsman in the martial arts is not the means of killing, but the unity of man and sword, integrating the sword into the body, and defeating the enemy with every move. As for the realm of Murong Qiushui and Liu Zongyan, they have already departed from the level of swordsmanship and classified swordsmanship into the realm of "swordsmanship". The sword has become a part of the body of the kendo master, just like a person's hands and feet, and can be used as he pleases, and even sword moves do not have to be deliberate. According to Situ Qiao, when the Hongdao monk made a move, every subtle change made people see clearly, but it was as fast as lightning, and the swordsmanship had reached an extremely high level. Although Liu Yong and the others thought that they could barely do it, the Hongdao monk was already eighty or ninety years old, and Wu Zi was able to use such a powerful sword move, and he was indeed a rare master in the martial arts. It was a few helpers and leaders who used swords who thought in their hearts: "If this Situ Bridge doesn't talk nonsense, this Hongdao monk must be a great swordsman." It's just that I've never heard of such a number one person as Master Hongdao in the rivers and lakes. In addition, although the name of Nanjing Dabao'en Temple is loud, most of it is because Dabao'en Temple is the head of the Buddhist temple in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is a well-known Buddhist holy place, but I have not heard of any great martial arts in the temple. ”

Li Qiufeng thought differently from everyone else. In Jin Yiwei's file, he had read the case files about Zhuo Buli and Jin Wuxin. These two people are one south and one north, and they have nothing to do with each other, and the cases they have done are even more unrelated. It's just that listening to what the Hongdao monk said, Zhuo Buli and Jin Wuxin turned out to be the same person, and this person's background is complicated, and he is related to Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Shandong Governor Yamen, and Nanjing Garrison Yamen. What's even more surprising is that when this person appeared as 'Jin Wuxin', he had a lot of intersections with the governor of Shandong. This Jin Wuxin has robbed the official ship twice at sea, although there is no record of what the official ship is loaded in the Jinyiwei file, but since it can be recorded in the Jinyiwei's file, there must be extremely important things on the ship, and nine times out of ten this thing will not be seen. This case occurred within the jurisdiction of the governor of Shandong, but the governor of Shandong, as the chief official, had a lot to do with Jin Wuxin, the mastermind of the case. Behind this case, I am afraid that it will also involve open and secret battles between the bigwigs in the imperial court. Since Monk Hongjing is dead, the true identities of Jin Wuxin, Zhuo Buli, and Monk Hongjing are afraid that no one will know anymore. ”

But I heard Situ Qiao say: "I was in the dark grid, and I saw Monk Hongdao kill Monk Hongjing with a sword, and I was so frightened that I almost screamed. In the midst of his busy schedule, he covered his mouth tightly with his left hand, so he didn't make a sound. Under the candlelight, I saw that the Hongdao monk slowly turned around, and I didn't see him walk with his legs up, but he actually 'floated' to the offering table like a ghost. He looked up at the jade statue, his face cloudy.

"I saw that this old monk had a strange expression, and I thought to myself, could it be that he has an entangled relationship with this woman, and when he sees the jade statue at this time, the old feelings are rekindled, so he is so depressed? Moreover, not long after Zhu Di was born, the woman died of illness, but I am afraid that the Hongdao monk was not born at that time. It's just that this old monk's expression, why is it so weird?

"I watched Monk Hongdao standing in front of the offering table, his eyes staring at the jade statue with a very strange expression. I couldn't help but feel worried, and I vaguely felt as if something terrible was about to happen. When he was in doubt, he suddenly heard a "snap", and a long sword fell from the sleeve of the robe in the right hand of the monk Hongdao to the ground, and flicked it on the ground a few times. I was startled, and I saw Monk Hongdao stretch out his hands and press them on the offering table, muttering to himself. It's just that the voice is too quiet, and the secret compartment is more than two feet away from the offering table, so that it is difficult to hear what he is muttering. I knew that the situation was wrong, but I didn't know what strange things were going on in this secret room, so I could only shrink into the dark compartment and not dare to move.

Monk Hongdao muttered to himself for a long time in front of the offering table, and suddenly raised his right palm and slapped it on the offering table. With a snap, he had cut off a piece of the edge of the table. I had played with jade before the offering table, and I knew that it was made of rosewood, which was the most rigid of all. It's just that when the Hongdao monk slapped this palm, it didn't seem to be forced, but when he cut the piece of wood, it was like cutting rotten wood. If this palm had been cut into my head, I would have to have my brain burst and die. Lord Shi, Wei Qianhu, and Monk Hongjing are all together, and they are not as terrible as this dying and decrepit Hongdao monk.

"After the Hongdao monk slapped a corner of the table with his palm, he suddenly turned around, pointed to the dried corpse sitting cross-legged on the side, and said sharply: 'Lord Zheng, are you still not satisfied with forcing me to live in this temple for eighty years?!'"
