Dengfeng Town is located at the foot of Shaomu Mountain, and it is naturally incomparable with the large towns at the state capital level in terms of scale, but if you talk about the historical background alone, it will not lose much.

According to the records in the county annals, the history of Dengfeng Town is earlier than the establishment of Shaolin Temple, but the real prosperity is after the establishment of Shaolin Temple.

Songlin Inn, the largest inn in Dengfeng Town.

The people who stayed in the hotel said that there was no more, and they said that there was no less, and it was still about the same as usual. However, the innkeeper has always had a smile on his face lately, and he is obviously in a good mood.

As for the reason, several guys in the inn knew it, and the three Tianzi rooms on the second floor had been chartered. You know, unless the Shaolin Temple holds a major martial arts gathering, or catches up with some major Buddha's birthday celebration and other festivals, there are generally few people staying in the inn, and occasionally a few, just to live in a room, without much oil and water.

However, this guest was very eccentric, and he didn't look like anything in words and deeds, but he was alone and didn't bring any friends with him. It is a waste to live in three rooms for one person, or to have three expensive rooms.

"Maybe it's money to burn. The man, with a white towel on his shoulder, was about to go up the stairs to deliver food to the high roller with a meal carefully prepared in the back kitchen. Three guests walked in at the door of the inn: "Man, three heavenly rooms." ”

The guy hurriedly put down the plate in his hand and turned his head to greet him: "Guest officer, I'm sorry, the small shop only has three Tianzi upper rooms, but it has been occupied." ”

All three guests wore hoods on their heads, and their faces could not be seen through the black veil. However, looking at the figure, it should be two young people, one middle-aged.

The young man in the middle who was slightly in the front asked, "Was it a one-man bag?"

"Uh. The guy was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, it's an uncle's bag, and I've been living there for three days, and the money has already been paid in my head." ”

"That's right, he's waiting for us. The young man in the middle smiled, and then led the other two upstairs: "Don't let people disturb you for the time being." ”

The guy watched the three of them go upstairs, and shook his head a little inexplicably, but he didn't care, anyway, he was just a buddy, and what happened to him had nothing to do with him.

。。。。。。

Three short and three long knocks on the door, Hua Pengfei got up and opened the door: "It's really slow." ”

"Something was delayed on the way. Xu Ruyi explained in a low voice, and then said to Nangong Caiyun and Fang Tianyou behind him: "There are two rooms on the left and right, you can choose one at will." ”

After a while, the door closed, Xu Ruyi took off the hat on his head and walked into the room: "How is it?

"Found it. Hua Pengfei nodded, and then rolled his eyes again: "What else do you say, I wasted a lot of hard work, if it weren't for my luck, according to you, the living god wouldn't be able to find a place!"

"What?" Xu Ruyi was a little puzzled.

"Still ask?" Hua Pengfei glared: "The four o'clock Lincheng Wang Temple in the east of Wujun City, I was stunned to let you say that it is a Chenghuang Temple forty miles east of Wujun City." It's only ten words in total, and you got five wrong, or the most critical five words, and I almost didn't die there!"

"Uh... Xu Ruyi scratched his head, muttered a few times, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "You can't blame me entirely, when that guy said it, there was only one breath left, and there was some accent, isn't it normal for me to hear the wrong sound?"

"Then it's normal that I can't find it?" Hua Pengfei complained for a while before he was angry: "I found something, but there is no gold and silver jewelry as you imagined, but I estimate that in your heart, it is more valuable than gold and silver jewelry." ”

"Oh?" Xu Ruyi became interested: "What have you found?"

"Yin Soldier Armor" Hua Pengfei got up from his seat and came to the bed, turned out a small blue-skinned bag, took out a roll of bamboo slips from it and put it on the table: "Look at it, it's all here." ”

"I'll see. Xu Ruyi stretched out his hand to take it, but suddenly his ears moved, and he shouted outside the door: "Who!"

"Huh?" Before Hua Pengfei could react, he saw a figure, holding a cold light, breaking through the door.

There was no stagnation, no hesitation, not even any shouting. It's just that the hatred in that eye is like substance.

If the gaze can kill people, I am afraid that Xu Ruyi has already fallen to the ground, but unfortunately, the gap in strength cannot be made up by other conditions, especially if the opportunity is lost.

"Who are you?" Two abrupt fingers clamped the tip of the sword, Xu Ruyi looked at the short and fat woman in front of him, and asked with some doubts.

"Zuo Qiuhua!" The strength of the whole body gathered, and he wanted to draw out the sword, but unfortunately he couldn't break free from those two onion fingers.

"Oh, we're going to reunite you with your brother. Xu Ruyi smiled gently, and asked this sentence, just to know if there was anything else to do. Since there isn't, there's not much more to say.

With a twist of his hand, he folded off the tip of the sword. With a backhand, the tip of the sword "poofed" and inserted it into the woman's eyes.

Driven by the strength of the cold and cold, the woman fell to the ground silently.

casually fluttered his hand, and reached out to pick up the bamboo slip on the table and unfolded it.

"Zuo Qiuhua?" Hua Pengfei tilted his head and thought for a while: "That Yunshang Hulu from the Huashan faction, Yue Songting's senior aunt, why did you provoke her?"

"His brother wanted to kill me for the 100,000 taels of bonuses, but I killed him. Xu Ruyi replied softly.

"Oh, that's no wonder. Hua Pengfei knew in his heart, undying hatred, there was no misunderstanding at all, there was no reason to talk about. But it doesn't matter, the strength of Dongchang today, don't say that Zuo Qiuhua, even if Yue Songting comes in person, he can't ask for a cheap go.

"Overseer, what is this?" Fang Tianyou and Nangong Caiyun heard the strange noise here, and walked out of the door one after another.

"Zuo Qiuhua. Xu Ruyi tapped the female corpse on the ground with her toes, and instructed Fang Tianyou: "Ask Xiao Er to clean up, it's really unlucky." ”

"Yes. Fang Tianyou retreated.

When the innkeeper heard that someone had died here, he didn't panic, but just shouted to the back: "Xiao Zhou, take a few people to Tianzi Room B, and it's blooming again." ”

"Got it, right away. Someone replied.

The shopkeeper Chong Fang Tianyou rubbed his hands and smiled: "Guest officer, although there are often people in the rivers and lakes who die in this place in Dengfeng Town, but in the end it is also a human life. ”

Fang Tianyou glanced at the shopkeeper, waved his hand and said, "Don't let the yamen come, the shopkeeper should also have some ability in this town, you should be able to handle this little matter yourself, right?"

"But... The shopkeeper was about to refute, but there were two more things on the counter in front of him: a gold ingot, which had to be about ten taels when it looked at it, exuding an intoxicating yellow-orange-orange light. Next to it is a palm-sized sign, with two big characters "Dongchang" on it

"Dongchang!" The shopkeeper is well-informed, and has obviously heard of the reputation of Dongchang.

"Understood?" Fang Tianyou took the token back into his arms: "It's good to have heard of the reputation of Dongchang, and it saves me a lot of tongue." Take the gold, I'm sure you know what to do, right?"

The villain understood. ”

In the end, it is an inn near the left side of the Shaolin Temple, and this kind of vendetta has seen a lot, and it is also easy to deal with, and there is no panic at all.

Xiao Er took a few people upstairs, and began to work with a chisel axe and saw on his back. The door is broken, replace the door panel, it's okay, the inn has a ready-made spare, but the blood stains on the ground are a little troublesome to wipe.

Xiao Er was busy working here, and Xu Ruyi was holding the bamboo slip brought by Hua Pengfei in his hand and watching. When Xiao Er finished his work, Xu Ruyi looked up at Hua Pengfei: "Sure enough, it's worth more than money." ”

。。。。。。

Shaolin Temple, Zen Heart Temple

As the master of this room, the spiritual heart master sat in the middle of the top position as a matter of course, and waited quietly with the beads in his hand.

The effort was not large, and the heads of the other three sects and seven sects walked into the hall one after another, sitting on the left and right.

Although they are all powerful people on the rivers and lakes, there are no outsiders, and they don't need to pay attention to any pomp, just find a place, drink tea, and explain things clearly.

When everyone arrived, Master Lingxin got up and gave a Buddha salute: "You have to come here, the old man is polite." ”

"The master is gracious. Everyone stood up and saluted.

After being polite, waiting for a few little novices to come in and put down the tea on the table in everyone's hands and retreat, the spiritual heart master spoke again: "This meeting, although it is in my Shaolin, was initiated by the head of Yue, so this discussion is still presided over by the head of Yue." ”

"Master. Yue Songting was also not polite, he got up again and bowed his hand to the Spirit Heart Master, and then looked at everyone again: "The purpose of Yue Mou's invitation to come this time, in fact, everyone should already know, that is, to discuss the White Lotus Sect's intention to rebuild the Bright Dome under the pretext of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect. Yue Mou first expressed his stance here, and Yue Mou was resolutely opposed to what the White Lotus Sect did. However, these days ... ”

Yue Songting nodded and motioned to Master Huizhen and Yan Ying: "Yue Mou learned that the imperial court, or more precisely, the group of eunuchs in Dongchang and the White Lotus Sect seemed to be in some collusion, which made the originally clear situation complicated, but Yue Mou thought about the problem a little simpler before.

But it doesn't matter, the matter is not urgent, today my three sects and seven factions are gathered here, representing the righteous path of martial arts in the world, and will always come up with a complete countermeasure. ”

As soon as Yue Songting's voice fell, Tang Sansheng followed to express his support: "Yes, what Master Yue said is reasonable, and it is not easy for the White Lotus Sect to be cheapened." ”

"Then I'll briefly talk about my thoughts. After a pause, Yue Songting spoke: "Although the rivers and lakes that our people in the rivers and lakes believe in are involved in the rivers and lakes, but the White Lotus Sect is involved in it, so it is not as simple as just the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

Dongchang is the yamen of the imperial court, but what Dongchang does, the emperor may not know everything, such as the relationship between the White Lotus Sect and the Sun and Moon God Sect, Yue Mou feels that the emperor may not know. If we stab this matter to the emperor, will we... ”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Dongfang Yu still had the same cold face, and said: "The eunuch of Dongchang is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and it is unknown what reason he used to persuade the emperor." ”

Yan Ying also hesitated: "Yes, if one is not good and causes the hostility of the White Lotus Sect, without the support of the imperial court, I am afraid the consequences will be unpredictable." ”

"What about causing hostility. He Chongxiao said disdainfully: "We are all leaders of the righteous path, watching and helping each other, are we afraid of him? Besides, in the past few years, both of us have already torn our faces, and the total number of dead and wounded is hundreds or thousands." ”

"It's different," Murong Qing said in a deep voice: "The White Lotus Sect is not just a simple martial arts sect, there are many masters, and the point is that they have an army. In terms of combat power alone, without the support of the imperial court, if you really want to stand on the open fire, I am afraid that the three sects and seven factions can barely level if they work together, but the masters of the three factions of Shaolin, Wudang, and Emei, the Taoist chief, I'm afraid... ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at the Spirit Heart Master, Master Huizhen, and Daoist Xuan Cong.

Murong Qing's words were to the point. The three religions and seven sects, the three religions are in the front, the strongest strength, but strictly speaking, these three religions are all practitioners who participate in meditation and cultivation, and their strength is strong, but they can't expect these monks and Taoist nuns who used to eat fasting and chant Buddha, self-cultivation and self-cultivation poured out of the nest, just to kill people thousands of miles away, then their beliefs are too child's play.

Unexpectedly, Master Hui Zhen got up too resolutely and said: "Although Emei is a woman, it is an axiom of the rivers and lakes to eliminate demons and defend the way, and in this matter, Emei will not lag behind!"

Hui Zhen's statement made Xuan Cong and Lingxin a little embarrassed.

The three sects are all famous, and the Emei faction all nodded, if they don't give a word, it will be a little inappropriate.

But this fact is too important to be decided in a moment.

Daoist Xuan Cong frowned and glanced at Master Huizhen, and then turned his head to look at Master Lingxin, who happened to be looking at him as well. This look at each other, they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

I also understand in my heart that Master Huizhen is too impatient, after all, she was originally determined by the leader of the martial arts alliance last time, but because of various changes, it fell on Yue Songting's head, it seems that there is anger in her heart, and she wants to show off her majesty, so as not to weaken Emei's reputation.

But this decision can't be hasty after all, the spiritual heart master thought about it and said in a deep voice: "The monks are merciful, although they also have the magical power to subdue demons, they must not kill in vain. The left and right people will have to live for a few days, and we don't have to... ”

Before the Lingxin Master's procrastination trick was exhausted, a light and cold female voice suddenly sounded: "White Lotus Tang Sai'er, bring your subordinates to worship the mountain, and ask the Lingxin Master to give you a meeting." ”

This voice seems to be far and near, but the tone is not so sharp, it seems to be in front of people, and it is obviously an extremely clever sound transmission skill.

"Tang Sai'er?"

"Why is she here?"

"How dare she come?"

Everyone was shocked.

Master Lingxin stood up and said, "The one who came is a guest, so let's meet these White Lotus Sect donors with Lao Gu." ”
