Monk Hongji didn't understand why "Tuo Nan Sheng" was after extinguishing the fire in the inn and saving his own life by the way.

For the whole night, his face was covered with ice.

Although Hong Ji thanked him for his great virtue in front of "Tuo Nan Sheng", and vowed to go to the soup for "Tuo Nan Sheng", he still couldn't get back a hint of this person's smile.

Monk Hongji couldn't understand what he had offended him.

His mind is pure and transparent. Since "Tuo Nan Sheng" was in a bad mood, Hong Ji didn't take it to heart.

The two of them quarreled late into the night, and finally returned to the original shop.

Although Fang Zhongjin extinguished the fire, he also demolished the kitchen of the inn and destroyed a few good quilts.

The people were cheering, but the innkeeper felt a sour pain in his heart.

The boss didn't come out to pay respects, just as if nothing had happened.

Hong Ji and Fang Zhongjin naturally didn't take it to heart, and when the two of them went back to the shop, they both fell asleep.

The next morning, Hong Jixin opened his eyes and saw that the "Tuo Nan Sheng" was already dressed and sitting in a chair in the middle of the house.

Hong Ji yawned, and said to Zhongjin to the other party: "Brother Tuo, you are so early! I guess we'll be there this afternoon. ”

Fang Zhongjin said with a straight face: "I don't think you have to be too polite. Now that the master has arrived at the foot of Song Mountain, he can go directly up the mountain. I will take my leave here. ”

Hong Ji was stunned for a moment and asked, "Didn't you say that you would send the Buddha to the west? Before we enter the mountain gate, do you want to leave, Brother Tuo? Why don't you go back to the temple with me, so that I can report to the master." Brother Tuo's escort all the way, we Shaolin naturally have no reason not to repay. ”

Fang Zhongjin waved his hand and said, "Master don't be too polite. Everything is empty, so why care about gratitude or not. Farewell!"

With that, he stood up and walked out of the Chase shop.

When Hong Ji heard this, he became anxious again, and hurriedly pulled Fang Zhongjin's sleeve and shouted, "Brother Tuo, don't go." If it weren't for you yesterday, the poor monk would have died in the fire. Now that I haven't returned to the mountain gate, if there are some forks along the way, how can I go back and report to my masters, uncles, and ancestors!"

Fang Zhongjin was about to shake away Hong Ji's involvement, and opened his mouth to say something more.

Suddenly, I heard a person's voice outside Tongpu say, "Senior Brother Hongji, why did you go down to the mountain gate and become crying like this?"

When they heard the voice, they both looked up. But three monks came to meet him.

The first one looked at the slender young monk with a fair face. He didn't have a beard, and a pair of knife-like single eyelids were the most conspicuous place on his entire bald head.

The two monks who followed him were apparently his entourage's juniors. The two stood respectfully behind the knife-eyed monk, each looking at their noses and their noses, and neither of them said a word.

As soon as Hong Ji saw the visitor, he accepted the look of pleading just now, looked at the knife-eyed monk in a daze, and asked, "Senior Brother Hongdu, why did you come here?"

Hong Du glanced at Hong Ji as if he was contemptuous, and said, "You have been protecting the Dharma for too long this time. The master asked me to come down the mountain to find you, but I didn't expect you to make such a big disturbance when you came to the bottom of the mountain. ”

When Hong Ji heard this, he was stunned again, and then he realized that his junior brother was making fun of himself. When they enter the empty door, they are most afraid of these vain emotions. However, Senior Brother Hongdu always likes to speak coldly to others, so he has never been able to go further in meditation.

The master also knew that he would not be able to attain any attainments in Buddhism in the end, so he put him in charge of everything in the temple.

Hong Ji was not annoyed, but said: "I didn't put the fire, how can I say that I made a disturbance? He is a high-ranking disciple of the Huashan faction, and he helped me all the way here. If it weren't for him, I would have died a long time ago, and the treasure would have fallen into the hands of the villains. ”

When Hong Du heard this, he looked Fang Zhongjin up and down with a pair of profound eyes, and said: "Disrespectful and disrespectful, the poor monk has never heard of the Huashan Sect accepting such a high-ranking disciple. When he said this, his face was cold and indifferent, and he did not show any affection.

Fang Zhongjin didn't care about this person's attitude, and arched his hand to him and said, "Fortunately, I am just a nameless apprentice of the Huashan Sect. It is also common for it not to enter the ears of the master. Since someone has come to pick up Master Hongji, I will leave here. ”

Hong Du didn't mean to leave Fang Zhongjin, but only said: "The donor goes all the way." Then he took Hongji back to the mountain.

Hong Ji refused to let Fang Zhongjin go, and hurriedly frowned and shouted: "This is not good, since the treasure has been welcomed back, it is natural to open the mountain gate and escort it all the way to the Daxiong Treasure Palace." I'll wait here, junior brother, you hurry back to the mountain gate and tell the master. ”

Hong Du coughed embarrassedly and said, "Senior brother, this ...... in your hand There is no need to open the mountain to greet them. ”

Hong Ji was even more stunned, and said: "What I escorted back all the way is the holy relics that Taizu gave to this temple. How can you say that there is no need to open the mountain to greet you?"

When this sentence was spoken, Fang Zhongjin said in his heart: "Sure enough." ”

Hong Du was even more embarrassed, pulled Hong Ji's sleeve and said, "Why is Senior Brother so reckless?"

Hong Ji didn't buy it, and said: "It's all my own people here." Brother Tuo is a chivalrous man of great benevolence and righteousness. What's there to say?"

Hong Du couldn't help but glance Fang Zhongjin up and down, but what he was thinking in his heart was: This naïve senior brother. Others are escorting you all the way, I can't guess what kind of idea they played.

But Hong Ji insisted on refusing to go back to the mountain, and asked Hong Du to go back to the mountain to greet them, so he finally had to say: "Senior brother, don't be entangled here." This 'holy relic' in your hand is a fake!"

This made Hong Ji feel surprised, and Fang Zhongjin also pretended to be slightly surprised. But my heart was calm and cold. When he tried to open the Bodhi lock last night, he found that the key he was carrying did not match the keyhole at all.

In this case, if your key is not fake, then this Bodhi lock must be fake!

In addition to himself, this key has also passed through the hands of his mother and deer.

But Fang Zhongjin trusts his mother and Lu'er 100%. Knowing that these two women are people who are wholeheartedly for their own good, they will never sacrifice so much for Fang Zhongjin, but lie to him about the key.

Then there is only one possibility: this Bodhi lock is a fake at all!

Sure enough, I heard Hong Du say: "Senior brother, how could our master be such a smart person, how could you escort the real 'Bodhi Lock' back to the temple? ”

Hong Ji was even more confused in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "Then, why do you want me to bring a fake one back?"

Although no one answered Hong Ji's question. But Fang Zhongjin and Hong Du had already guessed the answer in their hearts.

Hong Ji's master must be for the sake of cultivating the plank road in the light and Chen Cang in the dark. The real "Bodhi Lock" has long been secretly escorted back to the temple, and then let this martial arts strong and simple-minded Hong Ji swagger on the rivers and lakes with a fake holy relic.

The more Hong Ji didn't know that the "Bodhi Lock" he was carrying was fake, the more he engraved the words "I have treasures on my body" on his face.

He attracted gangsters to loot all the way, just to protect the real "Bodhi Lock" from being disturbed.

Hong Ji's master is really thoughtful. It's just that this apprentice of his own, I'm afraid it's also a little ruthless!
