The army marched day and night, and just after morning, it had rushed to the shadow bead pass seventy miles outside Tanzhou City. There is already a city gate in front of it, but the city gate is hanging at the bridge, and no matter how Ma Xicao shouts, the city gate will not open. Ma Xixu secretly said that it was not good in his heart, so he immediately ordered to sweep the formation and conquer the pass. But the Shadow Pearl Pass overlooks the two mountains, there are more than 70 large and small peaks and mountains around, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Ma Xicao's army is only more than 8,000 people, how can it be easy to conquer this important place.

Ma Xicao was at a loss and had to rely on Guan to set up camp. Two days later, there were sentinels in the Shadow Pearl Pass to report that Ma Xiguang had inherited the unification under the support of Zhou Tingzhi and Zhang Shaodi, and was called the King of Chu, and the general of Tiance, the envoy of the Wu'an Army, and the capital of all the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. Ma Xicao said angrily: "After the death of the fourth brother, I am the oldest among the brothers, then Zhou Tingzhi and Zhang Shaodi, the two old horsemen, actually took advantage of my absence to support the thirty-fifth brother to succeed to the throne, it is really hateful!" Shen Yong heard the news, his heart was shocked, and he said in his heart: "Ma Xiguang and his brother-in-law have always had a discord, and my sister is still in Tanzhou at this time, I am afraid that something will happen." So he asked Ma Xicao for his life and wanted to go back to Tanzhou to save his sister.

Ma Xicao groaned: "Ma Xiguang has ordered the abolition of my position as the envoy of Wuzhenjie, my military power has been lost, and I only have more than 8,000 people at hand, how do you tell me to kill in Tanzhou to save your sister." Shen Yong couldn't believe what Ma Xicao said, and said, "Don't you care about your wife?" Ma Xixu was already confused at this time, and he really couldn't think of what to do now. Shen Yong saw that Ma Xicao had no intention of sending troops, so he snorted heavily, left the barracks alone, and went to Tanzhou.

After entering the city of Tanzhou, Shen Yong didn't dare to act rashly, so he first found the largest inn in Tanzhou to make a point, thinking that the inn was quite crowded, and it was also a good place to listen to the news. Who knew that as soon as he stepped into the inn, he saw that the shopkeeper had a bitter face, and said to Shen Yong: "This guest officer, the shop is full, so you can change it." Shen Yong was stunned when he heard this, this store was deserted, where was there half a figure? Shen Yong walked straight to the counter and asked the shopkeeper, "Where is there someone in your inn, why is it full?"

The shopkeeper's face was full of bitterness, and he sighed: "Don't mention it, just now the palace sent someone to spread the word, saying that he wanted to invite some living Buddha, and he drove away all the guests of the small shop, how do you say I should do business!"

Shen Yong was surprised in his heart: "Could it be that there is really a change in the court?" Suddenly, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and several people who looked like officers entered the store. The officer in front of him walked to the counter and asked loudly, "Is the shopkeeper, the idle people cleaned up?" As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Yong, only to see the officer glaring angrily and shouting, "Who is he, and he is also a buddy in your shop?"

The shopkeeper muttered for a long time and didn't know how to reply, but he heard Shen Yong himself say: "Are you the official family's messenger?" The officer snorted heavily: "You know who we are, why don't you get out of here!" Shen Yong heard his rude words, and his anger rushed upward, thinking to himself, can you be so arrogant even if you are a bad person from the official family? Listening to a burst of footsteps, Shen Yong turned his head to the side, and saw a middle-aged man step ahead of a few monks, walking into the store, the big monk saw that someone dared to enter the store one step ahead of them, and pulled the man out of the door.

The leading officer, seeing the monk, bowed down with a smile and said, "Master masters, please come in quickly." Shen Yong saw that he had long lost the arrogant momentum just now, and instead looked at several Fanbang monks with respect, so that his face changed so much that he couldn't help but laugh dumbly. The officer shouted, "What are you laughing at?

But I heard the voice of a young girl outside the store, and sneered: "Isn't it funny to be inferior to a barbarian, but you have the ability to bully your own people?" The officer didn't care about her age, rolled his eyes at her, and shouted, "Where did you come from, stinky girl, don't look for trouble here." But the girl ignored him, and called out to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, go up to the room with me." With that, he took out a piece of silver from his bosom and threw it on the counter. The shopkeeper smiled bitterly, snorted at the officers and monks, and said in a low voice: "This young lady, I'm afraid it's inconvenient today." The girl smiled and said, "Why, don't you give it to you?" The officer on the side, seeing that the girl was clearly looking for fault, was already furious, and pulled out the saber at his waist with a loud cry, and then slashed at the girl's head. Seeing that the girl's head was about to be cut in half, Shen Yong was about to make a move, but he saw the girl's wrist shake, and heard a grunt, and the officer had fallen to the ground.

The girl giggled and said, "You have this ability, no wonder you are a lowly minion." Suddenly, I heard the monk say: "The girl is young, but this mouth is very vicious." Shen Yong was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that someone among the monks could speak such Chinese. The girl turned her head, only to see the monk who spoke, and said to the girl: "This girl, the little monk and his party want to use this shop, and ask the girl to avoid it, please forgive me for the offense." The girl said: "You monk, you are funny, you are only seven or eight people, and you can still occupy all the more than 30 rooms in this inn? In my opinion, why don't you even give two rooms, and let me and my father do it?" The monk said: "This shop is the little monk came first, and the girl came later, you don't care about my many people, even if I only have one person, I spent a lot of money, and I have this inn, why not? The girl and the old father went to find other places, and the Tanzhou City inn has not a thousand but hundreds, so why come and squeeze with us?" After speaking, he took out a silver ingot from his bosom, and then picked up the silver ingot of the girl on the counter, and said to the girl: "The girl leaves quickly, and this ingot of silver of yours should be returned to you, and my little monk will give it to you." ”

I didn't know that the silver ingot in his hand had not yet been sold, and I heard someone laughing outside the store, and threw a gold ingot from the door to come in, and shouted: "If you want to talk about treasures, I don't dare to say that it is a pile of gold and jade, and it is also considered a rich party in Jiangnan. Shen Yong listened to him report to the Jinwei Dart Bureau, and he was overjoyed, but he didn't know if it was Qiao Darthead or Lu Darthead outside the door?

The monk who spoke listened to the wild words of the person outside the door, his face turned purple with anger, and he shouted: "Where did you come from, come in and die." Suddenly hearing the sound of the wind, the monk had already picked up the ring knife and ran out of the door, and heard a whistling shout, obviously already in action. Shen Yong was worried that the person outside the store was not the opponent of the monk, and was about to go out to help, when he suddenly heard a scream, the monk had already flown into the house from the door, and with a bang, he smashed a hole in the wooden ladder that went up and down the stairs.

The girl grinned and said, "I really don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and you dare to provoke my father." Shen Yong heard the girl call the person outside the door Daddy, and hurriedly looked at the door, only to see a man slowly pacing into the room. Shen Yong took a look, isn't this the head of Mr. Qiao's dart! It turned out that the girl was Qiao Jing's only daughter, called Qiao Shanshan, who had been pampered by Qiao Jing since she was a child, and she was also full of young lady when she spoke.

The monk who led the way was a little older, and when he saw his disciple being beaten to the ground, how could he swallow this breath, and stretched out his hand to grab Qiao Jing. Qiao Shanshan smiled and shouted, "Take it!" He actually threw a wooden stool next to him horizontally and flew towards the monk's face. The monk suddenly pushed his palm back, and the stool was stunned by the palm wind, shattered on the spot, and turned into clumps of sawdust and fell in all directions.

Shen Yong was taken aback, and said secretly: "This great monk's kung fu can crack wood instantly, which is really powerful." He had heard people say that the Donkey Kong palm of Shaolin Temple can pinch stones and produce gold, and it is extremely fierce, and now it seems that the palm of this great monk is not far behind.

The monk sneered, raised his right palm and slashed at Qiao Jing again. Qiao Jing saw that the enemy was in a hurry, and immediately used Luo Tian's hands to dissolve the momentum, and the two of them fought quickly, and they had already dismantled ten moves in an instant. Qiao Jing was afraid of the fierce palm power of the monk, and did not dare to fight him head-on, only to see Qiao Jing's palm shadow trembling, turning Luo Tiansan's hand into fingering, and the lightning and flint dotted seven or eight times, and the monk only felt that the finger was strong, as if every move could poke his throat. The great monk hurriedly slashed with his palm, wanting to protect the vital point. Unexpectedly, Qiao Jing's kung fu made it difficult for him to distinguish between reality and fiction, and in the blink of an eye, he had been slapped by Qiao Jing in the chest. The monk couldn't bear the pain, and with a bull roar, he raised his palm and rushed forward. Qiao Jing saw that he was already a Jedi blow, and hurriedly dodged, the great monk couldn't catch the momentum, and the fierce palm force just hit a palm wooden table next to Qiao Jing, only to hear a rattle, the wooden table instantly turned into powder. Qiao Jing's figure was stunned, and he was about to recover, but he caught a glimpse of Shen Yong in a dozen eyes, his face was slightly surprised, and said: "Isn't this Shen Shaoxia, why are you here?" Shen Yong bowed his hand and said: "Senior Shen Yong, I have seen Mr. Qiao's dart." Qiao Jing laughed and said, "Isn't the little brother going to live in the hotel?" Shen Yong nodded and said, "Exactly." Qiao Jing said: "Okay, okay, I will send these monks away today, so that our masters can live comfortably." ”

Before the words fell, Qiao Jing put the gilded gun in his hand, stabbed the monk's chest violently, the great monk jumped back to avoid a move, where did Qiao Jing allow him to escape, at the moment the spear was stacked, the gilt gun gushed out a heavy wave of guns and attacked the monk, seeing that the monk was about to be killed. Suddenly, I heard a man shouting: "Keep people behind." Qiao Jing hurriedly took back the golden gun, only to see the leading officer walking towards Qiao Jing and saying: "Be merciful to the heroes, these people have a lot of backgrounds, don't hurt their lives!"

Qiao Shanshan pouted: "A few bold demon monks dare to go to the south of the Yangtze River to do evil, leave him to do anything!" The officer hurriedly said: "This young lady doesn't know, a few of them are disciples of King Gexian, the national teacher of Khotan, and this time the Great Dharma King was invited by His Royal Highness the King of Chu to come to Tanzhou, and these are the accompanying disciples." ”

Although Qiao Jing is in the south of the Yangtze River, he has heard a lot about this national teacher in Khotan. Da monk Gexian is not only proficient in Buddhism, has been to Luoluo, Nanyang area to preach the scriptures, converted to Buddhism disciples up to tens of thousands of people, was in Khotan as the protector of the country, in the martial arts attainments are also higher than ordinary people, the practice of the Great Sun Lotus Gong, across the 36 countries in the West has no opponent, as the first master of the Western Regions.

The officer knew very well that the identity of these monks was extremely important, and being injured by Qiao Jing just now had already damaged their faces, and he couldn't even make amends at this moment, which could not dispel the monk's anger. Qiao Shanshan saw that their faces were flushed with green anger, and shouted, "What are you doing, you still want to fight, I'm not afraid of you!" Qiao Jing raised his hand and stopped: "Shan'er, don't be rude." Qiao Shanshan didn't expect to be stopped by his father, so he was speechless for a while, and asked, "Dad, are you afraid?" Qiao Jing shook his head and smiled: "We are staying in the hotel, so we don't have to cause too much trouble, just teach us a lesson, since this inn is covered by them, let's change it." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Shen Yong and said, "Shen Shaoxia wants to be together?" Shen Yong nodded and said: "Okay, good, there are too many idle people here, even if I am allowed to live, it must be extremely uncomfortable, it is better to change to a comfortable inn with my predecessors." After saying that, the two of them went out with Qiao Shanshan, leaving a few monks there chattering endlessly.

The three of them found a new place to live, and they had dinner together in the evening. Before the dish was served, Qiao Shanshan muttered unhappily: "Dad, I don't understand, those big monks are obviously not your opponents, why do you want to give them the inn where we have to stay every time we come?" Qiao Shanshan was pampered by him, and he was also open-mouthed when he spoke. Qiao Jing smiled: "It's not that I'm afraid of them, it's just that their master is a character who is not easy to mess with." Qiao Shanshan said again: "A Fanbang monk, what is there to be afraid of!" Qiao Jing sighed: "Shan'er, you are always like this, you blame your mother for dying early, and your father can't control you, so that you develop a character that is not afraid of heaven and earth, unless you suffer a big loss one day, you can grow acute." Qiao Shanshan stuck out his tongue, cut it, and stopped talking.

Shen Yongsu loves Buddhism, and he has also heard of the great Dharma King in Khotan, but he is a world-famous monk, when he opened the altar and preached in the Great Yunlai Temple in Khotan, he also had the idea of going to listen to the scriptures, but he was stopped by his parents, and finally regretted it. But such a high-ranking monk, he happily yearns for it but can't get it, what is there to be afraid of Mr. Qiao's dart?

Qiao Jing said: "You don't know, Nada Seng Gexian is known as the number one master in the Western Regions, and people like this with great wisdom and wisdom are naturally not trivial and cannot be underestimated." Shen Yong didn't care about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, so he changed the topic and said: "Senior, it's a coincidence, how could you be in Tanzhou with Ling Ai?"

Qiao Jing said: " As soon as the desert parted, you and the niece of the Xue family were trapped by quicksand, I and Tong'er looked for you for a long time and did not find it, so I returned to the Sword Refining Villa to discuss the matter, the owner of Xue Zhuang also spread the news in the rivers and lakes, if anyone can send Qi'er back to Zhuangzi safely, he will give the Daxia Dragon Sparrow, how did you expect that the two of you were captured by Taohuawu later, fortunately, the sand boss is also an interesting person, and never hurt Qi'er sent her back to the villa, and got the Daxia Dragon Sparrow and left, this is not my baby daughter heard that his sister Qi came back safely, and let me bring her here, the two grew up since childhood, but there are some feelings。 It turned out that Qiao Jing only came to accompany his daughter, so he asked again: "But why didn't the seniors stay in the villa?" Qiao Jing smiled: "I'm ashamed, my daughter is born so clean, there are many craftsmen in the Sword Refining Villa, and the little girl is not used to it, so she has to come to the city to invest in the store." Shen Yong laughed secretly in his heart, he didn't want such a well-known hero, but he also gave birth to a daughter with such a brutal and willful personality.

Qiao Jing said again: "Shen Shaoxia, why are you here in Tanzhou?" Shen Yong said: "This matter is a long story. "Then Ma Xifan died of illness, Ma Xiguang inherited the throne of the king of Chu, and Ma Xicao was blocked from Yingzhu Pass, and told the plate. Hearing this, Qiao Jing shook his head again and again: "The emperor's family, where can I escape the tragedy of father and son killing each other and brothers killing each other, I'm afraid that the king of Chu will also die." Shen Yong frowned and said: "How can I manage why Ma Xifan died, I'm just worried that my sister will not be tolerated by Ma Xiguang, and her life is on the line." ”

During the banquet, Shen Yong became more and more worried about his sister's comfort, and his stomach was extremely unhappy after a few glasses of wine, and Qiao Jing also seemed to have something on his mind and was unhappy. The three of them were not dispersed in the catering, and suddenly heard someone outside the store shouting and scolding: "The surname Qiao, your grandmother's, hurry up and die!" Qiao Jing was stunned when he heard this, and it seemed that the worry was still coming.

The three of them walked out of the inn, and Shen Yong saw the leading officer who was in the inn, leading a monk he had never seen before, standing outside the store. But when I saw the monk, dressed in a purple monk's robe, stepping on a pair of straw sandals, he was in his forties, his face was radiant, there was no wrinkle, and he was faintly more radiant. Shen Yong only glanced at it, and he already felt that this monk must be a person who has attained the Tao and has great attainments.

Qiao Jing looked at the visitor coldly, but he saw that the officer was respectful to him, as if he was afraid of him. The great monk smiled faintly and said to Qiao Jing: "The little monk is a monk, I don't know how the disciples offended the Venerable, so I came to ask for a talk. Shen Yong was stunned, it turned out that this great monk was the number one master in the Western Regions in Qiao Jing's mouth, but he spoke gently and decently, how could he be a little arrogant.

Before Qiao Jing could speak, Qiao Shanshan suddenly interjected: "You monk is so rude, you have to forcibly dominate the store, why did you come to us to ask for an explanation?" Qiao Shanshan sneered and shouted, "You want to teach me a lesson, see if you have that ability!"

Da Seng Gexian glanced at her and said with a smile: "It's very good, then I'm going to try." Immediately, he spread his hands and grabbed Qiao Shanshan. Qiao Jing suddenly pulled Qiao Shanshan behind him, and said loudly: "Her father is here, why do you need to do it for you?" Da Seng Ge glanced at Qiao Jing a lot, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Qiao Shi, the master of the Jinwei Dart Bureau." Qiao Jing was stunned: "Do you recognize me?" Da Seng Ge said: "I recognize your dragon head gilt gun." Qiao Jing frowned and said, "I didn't expect this guy of mine to be much more famous than me." ”

Da Seng Gexian sneered and said: "Since I am fortunate to meet the top master of the Central Plains martial arts, I will use my own kung fu to teach Master Qiao a few tricks. Qiao Jing was secretly surprised, this monk Gexian had never walked in the Central Plains, so his name was passed down from generation to generation, and no one knew what level his kung fu had cultivated, but since he was well-known in the rivers and lakes, he should not be underestimated.

Suddenly, the monk showed his green sleeves, and a welcoming stone lion in front of the middle door, only to hear a sound on the ground, the hundreds of pounds of stone lions flew out, and the wind was blowing everywhere, and it was very fierce. Qiao Jing was stunned, but when he saw the stone lion flying, his body jumped back sharply, and his right hand was commanded out, and he put it on the top of the stone lion's head, and heard a muffled sound, and the stone lion was urged by the strength of the monk Gexian, and it actually spun up in the air, and Qiao Jing was forced to retreat again and again by that force.

Shen Yong was shocked, he didn't want that monk to have such skills, he was worried that Qiao Jing would be invincible, and he was about to step forward to help. Suddenly, Qiao Jing heard a long roar, and the stone lion was flicked by his right hand, and it bounced into the air, spun around in a small circle, and flew towards the monk Gexian.
