Chapter 13: Looking Back (2)
Li Shidan felt that Zhuo Buqun was a bold person, and if he was embarrassed, he responded: "Brother Zhuo is so loving, and the younger brother is better to obey his fate than to be respectful." Zhuo Buqun smiled slightly: "Brother Li, when we fought yesterday, I saw that you made it look like the Hengshan faction light skills, but the moves were like Shaolin kung fu, so I didn't ask you where to learn from?" Li Shi couldn't help but grow his mouth, and said half-loudly: "Brother, this light skill is taught by the head of the Jingfeng Dao of the Hengshan faction, and the kung fu in your hands comes from an elder and a medical book." Zhuo Buqun said strangely: "I also know the elder of Jingfeng Dao, what is the matter with the elder and the medical book you are talking about?" Li Shi slowly sat down and said, "This elder is an uncle from his hometown, the big Chen Zhaoling. Zhuo Buqun asked some questions about Chen Zhaoling's appearance and age, Li Shi answered them one by one, and then said that he accidentally turned the martial arts from the medical book, and the more Zhuo Buqun listened, the more strange he became, and asked about Li Shi's hometown, his parents' names, and why he went to Luozhou again. The two were chatting about the matter, and suddenly an old slave came from the back of the cell, sixty or seventy years old, full of white hair, staggering, carrying a bamboo basket, walked to the cell and handed the bamboo basket in, Li Shi opened it and saw that it was filled with some food and wine, and suddenly felt hungry, and had not eaten for six or seven hours, and said to the old slave: "Thank you!" Who knew that the old slave didn't even look at Li Shi, Zhuo Buqun said: "He is old and deaf, and he can't hear." Li Shi gave a salute when he heard this.
The two of them stayed outside the iron fence while eating the old slave, and Bi Zhuo Buqun put the plates and other utensils next to the iron fence, and the old slave put them in the bamboo basket and left. After eating, Li Shi's spirit was slightly better, Zhuo Buqun returned to the topic, and continued: "According to what you just said, that medical book should be written by Master Tongguang of Shaolin Temple." Li Shi scratched his head: "The reason for this is really unknown, who is this Master Tongguang? Why are his things in my house?" Zhuo Buqun pondered for a while, and said: "Master Tongguang was originally the abbot of Shaolin Temple, and he had a very high prestige in the martial arts. In recent years, Xuan Jing Zhenren has devoted himself to Taoism, lived in Maoshan for a long time, and Master Tongguang passed on to Huijue Zen Master, and since then he has traveled all over the world, but how did he and your father meet, and why is there a small * skill recorded in the second half of this medical book, I am afraid that I will have to ask the two of them. ”
Li Wenshan's treatment of the plague in western Liaoning has long been spread among the people, and the name of the doctor has been spread all over the world, but Zhuo Buqun has not set foot in the rivers and lakes for three years, and Li Wenshan's name is unknown, Li Shi asked again: "Is the Chen Bo who taught me kung fu also from Shaolin?" Zhuo Buqun said: "Sixteen years ago, the Shaolin Temple suffered a catastrophe, and the monks in the temple were killed and injured countless times, and many masters left Shaolin since then, and Chen Zhaoling should be one of them." When Li Shi heard this, he said: "What catastrophe has the Shaolin Temple suffered? Why did Uncle Chen ......" Zhuo Buqun stretched out his hand to interrupt Li Shi: "This matter is a long story, we will talk about it in the future, you sit down first, abandon distracting thoughts, and I will pass on some methods for regulating pranayama and righteousness." ”
Li Shi's true qi in his body is scattered and disorganized, in addition to his back, his internal organs are also extremely uncomfortable, and he is currently being regulated by Zhuo Buqun. When the night was approaching, the old slave brought another meal, and after eating, Li Shi breathed for another night, and felt good when he got up the next day. Zhuo Buqun took his wrist, it was indeed a stable pulse, and his breath was powerful, just about to let go, he suddenly found that Li Shi seemed to have more than one true qi on his body, and counted carefully, there were as many as twelve, and he was generally strong and weak, and secretly thought: "All those who practice martial arts, their internal forces are gathered in the dantian, hugging together, how can this Shaolin internal strength be so weird!" Zhuo Buqun pointed to the secret luck, Li Shi's true qi in the body immediately resisted, although not as strong as himself, but dense and pure, faintly there is a sense of counterattack. Zhuo Buqun thought secretly: "This stream of true qi is nothing remarkable, if twelve true qi attack at the same time, it is really difficult to deal with." "This Tianmai Twelve Sutras are very difficult to practice, a little careless, may go mad, is Shaolin monks are rarely practiced, Zhuo Buqun has walked the rivers and lakes for many years, but has not seen the Tianmai Twelve Sutras, this point is not as well-informed as Han Jingxing.
Li Shi was worried about Du Tingfang's safety, pacing back and forth in the cell, Zhuo Buqun observed his words and expressions, and said: "Although Han Jingxing and I are the protectors of this sect, we have not been on good terms, Tingfang should have been imprisoned in the dungeon when she was caught by him, and it is not easy for you to save her alone." Li Shi said stupidly: "It's a pity that my brother can't even get out of this cell." Zhuo Buqun raised the iron chain in his hand and said: "This iron chain is mixed with dark iron, extremely tough, no one can open it without a key, even if there is no iron chain, my brother has vowed never to leave this place within five years, so Tingfang's danger still depends on you to solve." Li Shi faintly felt that when Du Tingfang was arrested, if Zhuo Buqun could chase him out with him, he might be able to save him, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Zhuo, since you are the protector of the Five Elements Sect, why are you locked up here?" Zhuo Buqun looked out the window, half silent, Li Shi said carefully: "Is it because of my young lady?" Zhuo Buqun sighed deeply and said: "It's a long story, this matter has to start from three years ago......
"That year, the Patriarch's Chang'an branch was suddenly besieged, and most of the dead and wounded, except for a few who fled, the rest were taken captive. Because Chang'an is Kyoto, the number of people in the branch hall is very small, less than 100 people, just to inquire about the movements of some imperial courts, acting very low-key, never committing adultery and criminal acts, not only with the government is safe, even if some local snakeheads and rats never provoke. This time, the entire hall was suddenly destroyed, which was really strange, and the sect leader ordered me to go and check it out after hearing about it.
"My brother made a secret visit for nearly a month, and finally found out that it was the government, but the government seemed to be unwilling to be known, and when besieging the branch hall, hundreds of officers and soldiers were in civilian clothes. Li Shi asked: "The head of the household is Qian Fu, how can Tang Linfeng mobilize hundreds of officers and soldiers to kill people." Zhuo Buqun said angrily: "At first, my brother was puzzled, but later I learned that Tang Linfeng's father was named Tang Jie, who was the imperial history of the dynasty and concurrently served as Jing Zhaoyin, and he was extremely powerful, and these officers and soldiers were sent by him." ”
"This Tang Gong has an enmity with the Five Elements Sect?"
At that time, my brother thought the same thing, but it was not. ”
"Since the officers and soldiers attacked at night in civilian clothes, it is definitely not a public matter, if it is not a personal vendetta, then what is the father and son of the Tang family?"
"Regardless of public affairs and personal enmity, the Tang family's father and son's life book will be taken sooner or later, but the lives of those brothers in prison are at stake. Late one night, my brother took dozens of brothers to rob the prison, and I didn't think about saving everyone easily. Li Shiwei thought for a while and said: "I think it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an City, the peace has been peaceful for a long time, and the government has neglected to take precautions!" Zhuo Buqun secretly praised Li Shi's cleverness, and then said: "Those brothers who were rescued were all tortured in prison, and they all asked the same thing, that is, the terrain deployment of my Baiyun Peak General Altar. ”
Li Shi was taken aback and said, "Could it be that they still want to attack Baiyun Peak!"
"Baiyun Peak is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is only one small road to go up, and one man should be able to open it, not to mention that there are thousands of sect members on the peak, and ten times as many people may not be able to fight down. In order to find out the intentions of this Tang Jie, I went to the Tang Mansion every night to investigate, and I always saw the Tang family father and son discussing with a military attache named Xing Zai. Zhuo Buqun took a sip of water, and continued: "It turned out that the Taishi of the Taishi Bureau looked through the classics of the previous dynasty and accidentally found a bizarre record, saying that there is a great secret on the Baiyun Peak of this sect, which can affect the national community. Taishi didn't know whether it was true or not, so he reported it to Tang Ji first, but Tang Ji did not go to Emperor Chen, but found a reason to kill that Taishi. Then Tang Ji sent Tang Linfeng and Xing Zai to exterminate the Chang'an branch, and hoped to find some topographic maps of Baiyun Peak from the branch, and beat and tortured the congregants of those branches, but unfortunately they found nothing. Li Shi was extremely curious about what the secret of Baiyun Peak was, but Zhuo Buqun didn't say it explicitly, and after thinking about it, he finally couldn't help but ask.
Zhuo Buqun continued: "Now that the cause and effect have been discovered, I should go back to Baiyun Peak to report to the sect leader, before leaving, my brother wants to kill those three people to avenge the brothers in the branch, to say that this Tang Ji has also enveloped a few people in the martial arts, among which there is a man named Kong Da who also has an enmity with me, although my brother is not afraid of this person, but if he is entangled, there are many officers and soldiers in the Tang Mansion, and it will be difficult for these three people to hide and kill again." One day, Tang Ji called the two of them early, and secretly asked the Shaolin and Shangqing factions to attack the main altar of our Baiyun Peak, and sent 10,000 officers and soldiers to back up. My brother was shocked when he heard this, these two factions lead the martial arts, there are many masters, and they have always been at odds with the sect, if they really join hands with the government, it will be very disadvantageous to the sect. That Tang Ji repaired two letters to the heads of Shaolin and Shangqing, and handed them over to Xing Zai to lobby, as soon as this person left, I wanted to kill him, and I must not let him send the letters to Shaolin and Shangqing. The elder brother was about to leave, but Tang Fei suddenly whispered to Tang Linfeng, and when he listened carefully, he was shocked again!" Zhuo Buqun sighed, and Li Shi said: "Then Tang Fei must have some other conspiracy." Zhuo Buqun nodded: "Yes, this surnamed Tang wants Shaolin and Shangqing to attack Baiyun Peak first, and when they are both defeated and injured by this sect, they will let the Luozhou government send officers and soldiers to go up, whether they are friends or enemies, they will all be killed, it is really vicious." Li Shi thought for a while and wondered: "Is this Tang Ji afraid that Shaolin and Shangqing will discover the secret on this Baiyun Peak?"
