There is a green mountain outside the capital, although the mountain is covered by green shade, but the road on the mountainside is clearly visible, and the mountain road is full of pedestrians. There is a temple in the mountain, which is dilapidated, but the incense in the temple endures. In the past, the surrounding villagers and the wealthy people in Beijing wanted to rebuild the temple for the monks in the temple, add gold tiles, build a high hall, cast a golden Buddha, and have a brilliant atmosphere!

Today, the temple is as usual, the courtyard is like a market, and the incense is vigorous. In the temple, the incense smoke is filled, the sound of prayer is endless, only the monk Nakong Ye sits quietly on the futon, his eyes closed, the wooden fish in his hand, the scriptures in his mouth, his expression is pale and serious, and there is a slight sadness between his eyebrows. An old woman walked around, squatting beside her, took out a white rice ball from the basket, and said slowly, "Master Kongya, you have been chanting here for a week!" The old woman handed the rice ball in front of her, "Eat a little!"

Sora didn't seem to hear it, and continued to recite the scripture. Seeing that he did not react, the old woman wrapped the rice ball on the ground, her eyes were full of tears, and she looked at the monk with a sad face, and her words trembled slightly: "The holy monk of Miaochen accumulated many good deeds and virtues during his lifetime, and he will definitely be safe and sound after death, and the Buddha will definitely bless him!"

Sora also paused, only nodded slightly, and said, "Thank you for your concern." Then he began to recite the scriptures again.

The old woman covered her eyes that were about to cry and got up to leave, and silently said bitterly: "What kind of world is this! Such a good person, if he dies, he will be taken captive and sold as a cheap thing!"

At noon, there are few pilgrims left in the temple, and the monk Kongye is still sitting in the center and chanting the scriptures, but all kinds of vegetarian soup and rice are placed around the monk, all of which are left by the people who burn incense and worship the Buddha.

"Knock knock..."There was a knock on the door from the backyard of the temple.

At this time, the monk who had always been undisturbed actually ran to the backyard when he heard the sound, and the back door was already entangled with moss branches because it was not used all year round. Monk Kuya tried his best to lift the bolt and throw it on the ground, but he was unable to tear the door open. Someone outside the door pushed the door open, and it was Zhao Linshuang.

Seeing that it was Zhao Linshuang, Kongye was overjoyed, and hurriedly grabbed Linshuang's arms and said, "Elder, he... How's he doing?"

Zhao Linshuang hurriedly supported the physically and mentally exhausted monk Kongye and wanted to help him back to the backyard small room to recuperate, but Kongye pushed it away with all his might, and said with a rapid breath: "Leave me alone, tell me how the elder is!"

"I have sent him back to Linggu Temple. ”

When the monk heard this, he smiled at the sky and folded his hands and said, "Amitabha! Thank you Buddha for blessing!" After speaking, his whole body fell down as if he was deflated, paralyzed in Zhao Linshuang's arms, Linshuang picked him up and walked to the backyard hut, opened the door, and there were still two people in the house.

Inside the house, the old man Niu was holding this scripture book to observe carefully, and suddenly the door of the house was opened, and the person who came was Zhao Linshuang. Old man Niu smiled excitedly, "I knew you would come back safely!" The little girl who was playing on the side also began to shout, "Uncle Zhao is back! Uncle Zhao is back!"

Zhao Linshuang was not surprised to see that it was these two people, and hurriedly said, "Quick! help take care of the monk Kongye!"

The old man Niu put down the scriptures, hurriedly caught the monk, put him on the couch, patted the little girl on the side and said, "Huahua, go to the front and bring all the food on the ground." He took out the kettle from his waist and slowly poured the water into the monk's mouth, and the monk drank a few sips of water, his face improved, and his pale lips were bloody.

"Oh, okay. The little girl jumped and ran to the temple, and Zhao Linshuang felt that she had nothing to do, so she also went to serve food with the little girl. However, after a long time, the food in the temple was brought into the hut, and the old man called, "This monk has not eaten for a week, so first bring a bowl of light salty soup to wake him up." ”

Zhao Linshuang hurriedly picked out a bowl of pickle soup and handed it over. After drinking the soup, Monk Kuya became much more conscious, and his breath gradually stabilized. Sora also opened his eyes and looked at the three people beside the bed, and said slowly, "Thank you for saving a few donors!"

"Monk, let's eat a little!" Lin Shuang handed a bowl of vegetarian porridge to him.

The monk stretched out his hand and pushed it away, saying, "I don't feel hungry, so let's eat!"

The old man on the side took the vegetarian porridge and said sternly, "Then what's the matter! Drink this bowl of porridge quickly, if you don't drink it, we won't eat it! I'll be hungry with you!"

The monk felt ashamed, got up, took the bowl, and slowly drank the vegetarian porridge. "That's right!" called the old man, taking the empty bowl and placing it on the table, "come, come, let's sit down and eat." ”

The three of them sat around the table and started eating, the old man chewed it in his mouth, looked up at Zhao Linshuang, and asked vaguely, "The Miaochen monk has also been sent back, what are your plans next?"

Zhao Linshuang only cared about eating and did not respond.

"Or are you going to save that big guy?" the old man asked again when he saw that he didn't react.

At this time, Zhao Linshuang put down his chopsticks and asked, "How do you know about this?"

Old man Niu smiled "haha", picked up a steamed bun, and said, "The matter of the rivers and lakes, as long as it is spread in the wind, there is nothing that my old man Niu doesn't know!"

"He was captured because of me, so I naturally wanted to save him. ”

Old man Niu hurriedly put down the leftover steamed buns, looked at Zhao Linshuang with a serious face, and said, "Don't save it!"

At this time, the monk on the bed said slowly, "Saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter!" Master Zhao, since he was captured because of you, if there is a glimmer of life, he must go all out!"

"Monk, what do you know? Even if he has high martial arts, he is alone, and if he goes, he will be a sheep!" The old man Niu picked up a bowl of soup and slapped it all in one bite, slapped the empty bowl on the table, and said, "Zhao Linshuang, don't forget! You are notorious in the rivers and lakes! When the time comes, they will casually send you a list of your bounties, and you will be embattled and you will be taken down without much effort!"

"Don't talk about it, I've made up my mind to save him. Zhao Linshuang picked up a rice ball, took a bite, and said softly, "Die for me, a rotten person, he is not worth it!"

Seeing that he had no hesitation, the old man lamented, "Now there are many treacherous people in these rivers and lakes! Why do you have to pay for your life for this morality!" The old man paused, and suddenly said loudly, "Besides, that Wang Quanjia is nosy, you have saved his life, and you don't owe him anything, don't you?"

At this time, the little girl on the side tugged at the sleeve of the old man's coat and said, "Grandpa, Uncle Zhuang is here to help us!"

The old man waved his hand and patted the girl, and scolded, "What do children know? ”

I don't know if it was a headache or heartache, the little girl cried "wow", and the more the old man scolded and cried, the louder the cry became. Sora also waved his hand to the little girl and said, "Come, come to Uncle Monk." The little girl sat on the edge of the bed, rubbing her eyes and sobbing incessantly. The monk looked left and right, and when he saw that there was nothing interesting, he took off a string of Buddhist beads from his neck, handed it to the little girl, and said, "Here, little girl, this is for you to play." The girl took the beads and lowered her head and began to count them.

Zhao Linshuang put the dishes and chopsticks on the table after eating, got up and came to the little girl, squatted down and said, "Uncle will accompany you outside to pick flowers and catch butterflies, okay?"

As soon as the little girl heard that she was going out to play, her already crying face instantly became cheerful, and she returned the Buddhist beads to the monk and took Zhao Linshuang's hand and ran outside.

"I hate my grandfather the most, so I won't be like him!" replied the little girl with a playful smile.

The old man in the house was flushed with anger, and the monk Kuya smiled with relief.

"Xiaotian, are you going to sneak out again?"

Long Xiaotian wanted to sneak out, but he didn't want to be stopped by a complaining and gentle voice. Looking back, the woman was dressed in a white veil, slightly peach, elegant but with a little gentle and lovely, although not as enchanting and glamorous as the stunning beauty, but no matter who looked at it, they would be deeply attracted by her natural calmness.

Long Xiaotianwang's cheeks were already red in his eyes, and he whispered shyly, "Mother, I, I just want to go out and relax." ”

"Are you going to lie to your mother again, and then run out to fight?" Long Xiaotian's cheeks were suddenly rubbed by a pair of silky and soft hands, "Mother, it hurts!" The woman let go of her cheeks, hooked Xiaotian's nose with her fingers and said, "It's okay to go out, but you want me to accompany here." ”

Long Xiaotian looked at the woman's beautiful face, his face was flushed, and his head was already in a trance, "Mother, I am already a man, I don't need you to accompany me." ”

The woman raised the back of her jade-white hand, slightly covering her flushed face, and kept laughing.

Long Xiaotian looked at it stupidly, but he was out of his mind!

"Well, man, then I won't accompany you. The woman smiled, then turned and sat on the edge of the embroidery bed, picked up the embroidery, and carefully fiddled with it. Xiao Tian looked at his quiet mother, and there was a slight feeling of sadness in his heart, although his mother was gentle and cheerful in his eyes, but there was always a trace of faint resentment in his eyes, which made him feel deeply uneasy!

Long Xiaotian walked out of the house, walked through the bamboo forest path to the lobby of the Golden Dragon Sect, met the maid who was heading to the bamboo forest on the way, and hurriedly asked, "Has anything happened to the Golden Dragon Sect recently?"

Seeing that it was Long Xiaotian, the maid leaned over slightly and said, "Little master, the Black Dragon Envoy has just come back and is seriously injured!"

Long Xiaotian didn't ask any more questions, and hurriedly walked towards the Golden Dragon Hall.

Walking into the hall, the dragon mastiff was thinking about this with his back in distress, and Long Xiaotian stepped forward and asked, "Grandpa, what's going on?"

Seeing that it was Long Xiaotian, the dragon mastiff's sad face calmed down, "Xiaotian, how is your injury?"

"Thank you grandpa for your concern, I'm fine. Long Xiaotian replied, "It's just that I just heard that the Black Dragon Envoy was injured!"

"Hey!" the dragon mastiff shook his head, looked at Xiao Tian and sighed, "Do you know who hurt you?"

Long Xiaotian wondered, "Who is it?"

The dragon mastiff replied coldly: "That person is - Zhao Linshuang!"

"Is that the scum who smeared poison on the knife and plotted against my father at the martial arts conference back then?" Long Xiaotian asked with a serious expression.

"Exactly!" the dragon mastiff nodded slightly.

"Where is this man now? Let me kill him and take this evil breath for my father!" Long Xiaotian's eyes were fierce and fierce, and he exuded a murderous aura all over his body.

The dragon mastiff stepped forward and patted Xiaotian on the shoulder, "Little God, just leave this person to grandpa." One of his friends is now in the Golden Dragon Sect, and he will come to his rescue. The dragon mastiff leaned over and looked at Xiao Tian and whispered, "So, let's just wait for him to come and die!"

At this time, Gonggong Liu had also come to the outside of the Golden Dragon Hall.

"Xiaotian, you go back to your mother's place first, grandpa has other things to do. Long Xiaotian hurriedly replied, "Grandpa, you must not let him go!" The dragon mastiff nodded and said, "Definitely!" and sent Xiaotian out of the door.

The dragon mastiff hurriedly answered to Gonggong Liu, "Father-in-law, please inside." ”

The two entered the hall side by side, there was a spiral staircase leading to the underground in the depths of the hall, the dragon mastiff took the torch on the side and led the Liu Gonggong to the underground, and the lights were bright in the depths, and there were four hall masters next to the stairs, the flying dragon hall master took the torch and inserted it into the wall, and the Ying Long hall master took the two people to the secret room.

There were already several people present in the secret room, namely: Tianshimen Gate, Wang Chi, Dixing Gang Leader, Luo Jiao, Tianhu Zhai, Zhang Zhaolin, Shenzhou Dart Bureau, Wu Mengjiang, Sihai Rakshasa Door, East Longpo, West Ghost Gong, Nansha Mother, Beijiao Nan, Eclipse Sword Zhuang Shaozhuang Master, Chu Huayang, Nanquan Sect, Lu Ba, North Leg Gate, Zhou Qihu, Knife Interception Gate Master, Lin Mocheng.

The dragon mastiff arched his hand and said, "Everyone has been waiting for a long time, please sit down." The dragon mastiff led the father-in-law to sit on both sides of the chair, and the father-in-law sat on the side.

The master of the Dragon Hall brought the tea with his subordinates and handed it over one by one.

At this time, Wang Chi took the tea and said, "Dragon Gang Master, what is the reason for calling us today?"

"I heard that Zhao Linshuang appeared in the rivers and lakes again, and he also injured the Golden Dragon Gang Black Dragon Protector!" Luo Jiao on the side took the tea and took a sip.

Wu Mengjiang patted the chair handle, "It's just one person, don't be afraid." The Dragon Gang Leader is just such a trivial matter..."

Chu Huayang, who was on the other side, hurriedly interrupted, "I only know that Zhao Linshuang's martial arts are high, especially his sword skills. Chu Huayang glanced at the dragon mastiff and whispered, "Back then, the leader of the martial arts alliance fought a battle, and the swordsmanship of the Long family and Long Yun was not comparable!"

When the dragon mastiff heard this, he smiled and said, "My dog's swordsmanship is recognized as the first in the rivers and lakes, and he can fight in Longyun, which is indeed not to be underestimated." The dragon mastiff looked at Lin Mocheng again and said with a smile: "No, there is still Lin Lao! That Zhao Linshuang was your apprentice, and you know the number of his martial arts best." ”

Lin Mocheng put down the teacup and hurriedly arched his hand, "Old Man Long has said it, what is that gangster who doesn't know what he is doing?" I don't know much about him!"

"Alright, alright. I am fortunate to have Father-in-law Liu present today, and we will put aside this Zhao Linshuang matter for the time being. The dragon mastiff looked at Gonggong Liu, who gently put down the coffee table, cocked the orchid and whispered, "Okay - today I asked the Dragon Gang Master to invite you here, mainly for the relics of Monk Miaochen." ”

Donglongpo said: "The relics haven't arrived yet?"

"Now, the relics have fallen into the Linggu Temple, so I would like to ask you to think of a way to get it out. As long as there are relics, they will be dedicated to the emperor and govern the clear streams in the court. In the future, you can do things on the rivers and lakes!" Liu Gonggong picked up the coffee table and took another sip.

Wu Mengjiang, the head of the dart, said a little timidly, "The holy land of Buddhism in Linggu Temple, and the imperial court guards it behind it, which is a little difficult to do!"

"I didn't ask you to confront the court, as long as you can bring the relics out without knowing it. ”

At this time, the ghost man smiled and said, "Father-in-law Liu, don't worry, we are doing this kind of thing, and it is wrapped up in us." ”

"Well, I'll leave it to the four of you, and that's it. In a week, just a week, I want to see the true relics. Grandpa Liu exclaimed excitedly.

The Four Seas Rakshasas said in unison, "Understood!"

"Well, that's all for today. I have already arranged for you to go to the room, these days you will be guests in the Golden Dragon Faction, and then I hope you will help me when I capture Zhao Linshuang. The dragon mastiff laughed.

"Dragon Gang Master! The people gave up their hands, got up, and left.

"Lin Lao stay!" The dragon mastiff hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Lin Mocheng's hand and said, "Lin Lao, let's live in the purple bamboo forest, and go to visit my grandson." ”

Lin Mocheng said with a smile: "I haven't seen Xiaotian for a long time! Long Lao, why don't we go together and get together as a family." ”

The two looked at each other, smiled, and left.

At night, Zhao Linshuang had finished bathing and changing clothes, and sat in the room to meditate, at this time, the old man Niu carried the straw mat, and the little girl walked into the room with a wreath in her hand. The little girl trotted to Linshuang and sat down, laughing and began to play with his long hair, while the old man Niu came to an empty place, spread the straw mat and sat in it, "Huahua, wait for you to sleep on the bed, I will sleep on the ground with your Uncle Zhao." ”

"No, it's fun on the ground, I'm going to sleep on the ground. The little girl curled her hair and said.

Zhao Linshuang joked, "Children sleeping on the ground will be taken away by little wild ghosts!"

The little girl seemed to be frightened, and actually pulled off a small handful of Zhao Linshuang's hair.

Zhao Linshuang touched her head, turned around and pinched the little girl's slightly chubby face, and said with a smile, "Are you trying to pull your uncle out of a bald man-"

The little girl flashed back, "hee-hee-ha" flew the broken hair of the frost, and ran to the bed with the wreath in her hand.

"How is Monk Kongye?" Zhao Linshuang shook his head and smoothed his hair.

The old man Niu lay on the mat with his head in his hand, and muttered, "I've eaten something, and I've already laid down to rest." ”

Zhao Linshuang stood up, blew out the candle on the table, walked to the mat and lay down on his side.

After being silent for a long time, Zhao Linshuang suddenly asked, "Old man Niu, why did you talk about this paragraph at the Hongchen Inn at that time, and deliberately belittled the dragon mastiff?"

Old man Niu pretended to snore, did not answer, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly asked, "Why did a person like you go to fight for the leader of the martial arts alliance back then?"

Zhao Linshuang turned around and didn't answer, and the two stopped talking.

Thinking about it day and dreaming at night, Zhao Linshuang was worried about the old man's question, and slowly fell asleep: it was still that dark night, the rain was pouring outside, thunder and lightning were combined, and the closed eyes couldn't be opened no matter what, only a gap could be slightly revealed, Zhao Linshuang looked around against the gap, but there was nothing. Suddenly, a resentful and gentle pleading voice came from behind, "Linshuang, take me with you!" He could feel her, although he couldn't see it, but his whole body, as well as the violently beating heart, he could feel her presence! Zhao Linshuang shook his eyelids, accelerated the pace of breathing, and with all his strength, his teeth bit his tongue violently.

Zhao Linshuang breathed rapidly, got up to support his forehead, and the old man Niu on the side opened his eyes slightly, and said slowly, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Linshuang calmed her heartbeat, lay down calmly, and said casually, "It's nothing, it's just a ghost pressing the bed." ”

"Why did meeting you in my dreams make me so nervous and overwhelmed...... Hey, I'm still so useless!" Zhao Linshuang tried her best to empty her mind, not to chase the long gone past, and quietly wait for this tomorrow to come.
