Chapter 81: The Drunken Monk Hunts the Demon (1)
The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper are both business people, well-informed, but they have also heard that Master Zongxin is dissolute, cultivates his mind but does not cultivate his mouth, and does not look like a serious monk, but he is a high-ranking monk. From what I saw just now, this is indeed the case, even Elder Mu Xiang is full of praise for Master Zongxin, then that's right. Merely...... Ordinary people don't quite understand the heroism of this Zongxin master.
After the roast sheep is served, they hold the mutton one by one and eat it fiercely, not for meat, but for enjoyment. Most of the Central Plains are more private, and there are not many dishes like this. Roast beef with bones and meat, holding and gnawing is a pleasure.
While eating, a person walked outside the door, his expression was very anxious.
"Dare to ask which one is Master Zongxin?"
"I ...... I am ......" Zongxin held a leg of mutton and nibbled more refreshingly, the leg of mutton was roasted just right, fat but not greasy, the meat was tender, and the special umami of mutton made people want to stop.
The person who came took two steps to Zong Xin's side and said: "The next official is Yin Fu Yanxun of Xinzhou Mansion, I don't know if the master will miss the distance when he arrives, and I ask the master to atone for his sins." Recently, it has been difficult in Xinzhou, and the lower officials don't know what to do, so they are very busy. ”
"It's okay, the mutton tastes good, come and get some?"
Zong Xin didn't mind, and handed the half-eaten leg of mutton directly to the front of Yin, the state capital, which frightened Fu Yanxun three steps back and almost fell.
Zhao Kuangyin said: "The people of the Fu family won't be so bad, is Fu Yanqing your brother?"
"It's my brother. ”
Zong Xin glanced at it and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Oh~ Fu Yanqing, you don't know? Tianxiong Festival Envoy, Wei Guogong Fu Yanqing, is very similar to Lei Hong, and he is the number two person over there. Although he was not crowned king, he supported the army and respected himself, listened to the edict and did not listen to the announcement, Li Ke has been resisting the Khitan since he was crowned an official, and his title cannot be shaken like Lei Hong. Fu Yanqing's nature is very similar to that of Song Valve, and he is located between the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun and the Central Plains. Song Valve is just a small fight, and Fu Yanqing is the first person to really resist the Khitan. It is precisely because of this that he is extremely domineering and will never allow anyone to encroach on his land, so the Khitan can only watch from afar. ”
Zong Xin said: "So it's a big shot, what about Fu Yanqing's martial arts?"
"I heard that if you can draw with Guo Wei, it should only be slightly inferior. You know Guo Wei, if his martial arts are not desperate, they are actually average, although Guo Wei's internal strength is strong, but his moves are very ordinary, and he is all based on intuition. It's not hard to get to a draw with him, but it's not easy to beat him. ”
"Oh~ I see, it's really great to be able to tie with Guo Wei. Zong Xin turned his head to look at Fu Yanxun and asked curiously, "Why is the adult's martial arts so poor?"
Fu Yanxun was suddenly embarrassed, his martial arts were indeed 108,000 miles worse than his brother, but it was not too bad. Thinking about it, Zong Xin is a high-ranking monk, and his martial arts attainments are naturally incomparable to mortals, so he didn't say anything.
Fu Yanxun said: "The lower official is ashamed, the brother is good at martial arts, and the lower official is good at writing, but it is a pity that the brother's reputation is outside, so that the official career is bumpy, and he has no choice but to be the Yin of Xinzhou Mansion." It is also the brother who is protected by the brother to have this official position. ”
"Amitabha, adults don't have to be sad, how can everything go well? I am born to be useful, the son of a mouse can make holes, since my lord is a good writer, he must be proficient in governing the country and leading soldiers. Zong Xin drank a lot, and he was a little drunk when he spoke.
"The lower official is ashamed...... The subordinate officials have no way to govern, and they don't know how to march and arrange, which is also the strength of my brother. ”
Zhao Kuangyin whispered: "Fu Yanqing has led troops to fight all the year round, and he is proficient in the art of war, because he is a five-shaped array Tu Khitan people can't crack it, and there are no weak soldiers in his hands." It's not that the Khitans don't know the art of war, but they are far less powerful than Fu Yanqing's army, so much so that they have not dared to send troops for many years. ”
Zong Xin looked at Fu Yanxun with disdain, very curious if these two people are really brothers? But this kind of thing is also common, people love young children, as the eldest brother will always be more independent and stronger, and the younger brother grows up in doting. The so-called adversity becomes a Buddha, and being spoiled by parents is not a good thing.
Just like Lei Hong's two sons, Lei Tianxiao's martial arts are so high, but Lei Tianxin is like a mixed insect, just a little smart. Ten fingers stretched out are also long and short, and it is not surprising that there are some differences between the two brothers.
"Adults don't have to be ashamed, Heaven is ruthless and always kind, adults should remember ......"
"I'm not here for this. Fu Yanxun suddenly interrupted Zong Xin's words, and then said hurriedly: "Master, the lower officials have something to ask for." ”
"Please tell me something. ”
"Xia Guan learned that Master Zongxin was entrusted by Master Zhang Ying of the Hedong Festival to go to Wutai Mountain to subdue demons, but in fact, the demons had already arrived in Xinzhou. The lower officials deliberately blocked the news to avoid panic among the people, but in fact, many people have been captured by the monsters, and they are afraid that there will be more luck and less luck. Xia Guan suspected that this demon was a python, because countless poisonous snakes suddenly appeared in Xinzhou, entrenched all around, and many people were bitten to death by poisonous snakes. The farmlands in the vicinity were all destroyed. ”
"Oh~ Thank you for the mention. In fact, Zong Xin didn't listen to Fu Yanxun's words at all, and his mind was full of barbecue and wine.
"Xia Guan didn't mention it, but wanted to ask Master Zongxin how many people he needed to eliminate the demon, and Xia Guan must do it for the master. ”
"No need, anyway, you're going to give the monster a meal. The poor monk can take the accompanying protector to get rid of the demon, but if someone leads the way, it would be better for the poor monk to find the hiding place of the monster. ”
Fu Yanxun said: "Eh~ The monster has come and gone without a trace, I'm afraid this matter is a little difficult." ”
"You're really useless...... Zong Xin said depressedly: "It's been several months since the monster appeared, and I haven't even found out the hiding place of the monster, I just suspect that the monster is a python." ”
Fu Yanxun really has nothing to say, he is really useless, and he has the heart of loving the people like a son. But this heart is useless, and although he tries everything, he still can't destroy the youkai, and he doesn't even see the monster clearly.
In fact, I don't blame myself, the monster is really cunning, the night is not deep and does not go out, and it is often accompanied by poisonous fog, being in the poisonous fog makes people dazzled and breathing is not smooth, the most terrible thing is that the monster is fast and ruthless, and everyone who has seen it is dead.
"Master Fu~You~ What do I want to ask? By the way, the monsters have arrived in Xinzhou, right, then it's easy to do, there are the most monsters over there?"
"North of the city, because the north is the road to Mount Wutai, I believe that the monsters also come to the north. ”
Zong Xin nodded and said: "Then the poor monk will go to the north of the city to see, if the poor monk can't come back, the adults had better order the whole city to evacuate, if the poor monk comes back...... Eat snake soup tomorrow morning. Brother Yuen Long, do you want to go together?"
"Okay~" Zhao Kuangyin tried to stand up and said: "Lao~ Lao Tzu will go and catch a big one today, you guys prepare your stomach." ”
The two of them helped each other out of the store, and the white wolf consciously followed Zong Xin, came to the door of the inn and dined with the other black wolves and gray wolves without going along. Eighteen Khitan warriors watched the two leave, and then continued to drink......
Fu Yanxun really didn't understand what was going on, the two of them couldn't even stand on their feet, and they still had to go to catch demons? These dozen or so Dharma protectors were too, they were still drinking, and they didn't care about the life or death of this master at all......
At this point, it is impossible for Fu Yanxun to leave on his own, and he still has to wait for news from Zongxin and them. However, what he said just now made Fu Yanxun have an epiphany, if even Master Zongxin can't solve it, let the officers and soldiers escort the entire city and civilians away, otherwise the entire Xinzhou will be eaten clean by monsters.
The two slowly came to Beicheng step by step.
"Zongxin, it's okay for you to drink so much. ”
Zong Xin waved his hand and said: "I know the Dionysian curse, the more drunk you are, the more powerful it is, what about you? I think you are about to die." ”
"Don't come~ I can kill a cow now. If you don't believe me, you can go find a cow and I'll show you. Zhao Kuangyin also drank a lot, but there was no problem.
The two came to the northern city, when the city gate was closed, and there were many soldiers standing vigil near the city wall, one by one holding torches and carefully watching everything around them. The weather was hot and sultry, but everyone's hearts were cold, they knew that the monsters had come to Xinzhou, and the first to suffer was of course the north of the city.
It's not a single or two accident outside the north gate, but no one has seen the youkai directly, it's just that the people are missing.
Although Fu Yanxun tried his best to hide the news, how could he hide it from the people under his command? Fu Yanxun also sent people to guard the north of the city, and all the soldiers were unwilling to take this job, they all knew that the north gate was the most dangerous place in Xinzhou.
The monster didn't wait, but waited for two drunks, one of whom turned out to be a monk. I know that there are many monks in the city recently, but these monks are quite responsible, how did they steal wine and drink in the middle of the night? And they are wearing robes, and they seem to have a good status.
The two supported each other, looked at the towering city wall, looked calm, and then held the wall with one hand.
'Vomit~~'
After spitting up, he wiped his mouth, Zhao Kuangyin said excitedly: "Zongxin, you have always said that you have practiced light skills for three years, can you fly up?"
Zong Xin waved his hand and said: "That's useless, the light skills I practiced before were too poor, and now the light skills I commonly use are the light skills in the Dionysian mantra, called 'Drunken Immortal Moon Steps'." ”
"Oh~ Our Zhao Valve's light work is not miscellaneous, but a city wall like this more than ten meters high is not difficult for me. As long as Feng Wuji's true qi is pure enough, like the wind leaving traces, although the speed is fast, it is a bit of a waste of true qi. ”
"Come on, let's start here, and see who turns over first. ”
The two let go of each other and suddenly accelerated, rushing directly towards the city wall. The speed was so fast that the keeper almost didn't react.
"Shoot the arrows!" the guard shouted, and the archers immediately released arrows at Zong Xin and Zhao Kuangyin.
Zong Xin's speed is fast, but the drunken immortal Wangyue's walking method is strange and difficult to find, and the left and right arrows can't touch the corners of Zong Xin's clothes at all. Zhao Kuangyin's side was completely different, like a galloping bison that was unstoppable, and the arrow was directly shocked when it came to his side, completely ignoring their attacks.
When they came to the city wall, the two of them rushed straight up with their feet, one kicked the wall, the other stepped into the air, and stood on the battlements of the city wall at the same time. A large group of officers and soldiers looked at Zong Xin and Zhao Kuangyin like monsters, they were not human beings at all.
The monk's body didn't seem to move, but the arrow missed his side and it missed. The other person's body was even stranger, and the arrow had already bounced off the body some distance away.
