Chapter 582: The Cult of the Same Name
The faint voice shouted, "Is it Master Xiao who is here?" Everyone was immediately silenced, just now they were patronizing and fighting with the big python, and everyone had not had time to search the hall. Hearing the sound of people, several Xuanwu Hall disciples stepped forward with torches, and everyone followed, and saw that at the end of the hall was a row of grottoes, hidden behind a stone wall just now, so no one found it just now.
Several Wudang disciples shouted inside: "Who is inside?" The previous voice said weakly: "I am Hu Yunzhao, the eldest prince of the Burning Heaven God Sect, who is the personal guard Fu Anping. ”
Xiao Han had already brought Li Yueying, Murong Qiuyu and others up, and when he heard this, he was overjoyed, and rushed to the side of the grotto and said, "Is Gongzi Hu also inside?"
The grotto was firmly locked by a stone door, and it was impossible to see the situation inside, and the two Wudang disciples held torches and said, "Master, do you want to split the gate?" Xiao Hanbai and the two of them glanced at him and said: "Nonsense, I'm here to save people, and I want to split the gate." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, beckoned, and seven or eight Wudang disciples rushed up behind, even chopping and chopping, the stone gate was only about a finger thick, and it was torn apart in less than a few clicks, and the two disciples took the lead in holding torches into it, and for a while they helped two thin people out of shape.
Xiao Han saw that the two of them were full of long hair and beards, and they were so thin that they couldn't tell who they were, so it could be seen that they had been abused in this underground palace, but it was strange that since the man in black had captured them, why didn't they kill them, but wanted to be imprisoned here. There must be conspiracy and secrets in this, but now it is important to save people, Xiao Han frowned and looked at the hairy duo: "Which of you is Hu Gongzi?"
The previous person was Fu Anping, and when he heard this, he reluctantly raised his head and said, "Childe is not locked up with us." Xiao Handeng jumped up and said, "Where is he locked up?" Fu Anping raised his hand and pointed behind him: "He is locked up in another grotto." ”
Xiao Han's hanging heart was put down, and then asked: "Is Miss Meng Wanxi and Meng here?" Fu Anping said weakly: "Miss Meng was locked up here for two days, and then they escorted her out, and she never came back. ”
Everyone was dumbfounded, and Chai Xinyue said anxiously: "Won't Sister Meng be killed by them?" Li Yueying also hurriedly said: "Let's go out and find it." Murong Qiuyu said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, everyone, rescue Gongzi Hu first, since Miss Meng is here, so many of our brothers are outside, maybe there will be news in a while." ”
This made sense, Xiao Han nodded and said, "Quickly rescue Hu Gongzi." The Wudang disciples received the order, and immediately divided more than a dozen people to rush to the back with torches. After a while, I heard a "boom", followed by a sound of footsteps, and the Wudang disciples walked out in two groups with the two of them.
The crowd gathered around, and the hall was lit up by torches. Xiao Han saw the man in front of him with long hair and shawl,
With a thin face, it was Hu Yunzhao who was hungry and out of appearance. Behind is a haggard green plum, but she has been hungry for a long time, her face is full of vegetables, her eyes are blank, and she has lost her previous watery appearance.
Xiao Han glanced at the half-dead Hu Yunzhao sympathetically, and said softly: "Brother Hu, I'm Xiao Han, are you okay?" Hu Yunzhao was held by two Wudang disciples, and he couldn't raise his head at all, and his whole body was shocked when he heard the words. The same is true for Qingmei, it seems that if they are hungry for another day or two, these two will be finished.
Guan Xiangming took a few pieces of beef jerky and flatbread from the hands of the two Wudang disciples, and handed a water bladder to a Wudang disciple who was supporting Hu Yunzhao and said, "He is very hungry, give them some food first, and they will ease up in a while." ”
Chu Tianshu had already commanded some of his disciples to start searching around the hall, and after a while, he came to Xiao Han's ear and said, "In addition to the four of them, there are more than a dozen dead corpses, all of which are about to stink." ”
Xiao Han frowned and said, "Can you see the identities of those people?" Chu Tianshu shook his head and said, "No one knows." Xiao Han nodded and said, "Search again, if there is no living one, destroy the underground palace." Chu Tianshu replied and immediately led someone to search again.
Xiao Han turned to the two Wudang disciples and said, "Let them eat less first, if they are hungry for a long time, their stomachs will shrink, don't break it." Then he said to Li Yueying: "Let's go back." ”
Everyone returned to the ground together, and after half an hour, they heard the rumbling sound in the dungeon, followed Chu Tianshu and led people out of the ground, and came to the pond and said, "The dungeon has been destroyed." Xiao Han nodded and said, "Good job." A Wudang disciple suddenly pointed to the distance and said, "Lord Rui, they are back." ”
Everyone looked into the distance together, only to see the Wudang disciples walking back one by one with a smile on their faces, covered with bacon, chickens and ducks, and several disciples carrying a few black burdens, and shouted to Xiao Han from afar: "Master, we have made a fortune." ”
Xiao Handeng smiled like a flower, babble, he finally saw the money, more than 100 people died in the first battle, if there is no return, isn't he a big loss?
Chu Tianshu had already led someone to greet him, Xing Anping and Jin Yushu recovered a little, and came over with two branches: "How much did you get?"
Rui Yinglang was Xing Anping's subordinate, and when he heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Tell the master of Xing Hall and the head of the house that we have been ordered to destroy the village, and all the houses have been leveled, and a total of 370 copper coins have been found, 1,420 taels of silver, 83 taels of gold, more than 400 cooked meat of chickens and ducks, and more than 100 jars of wine, but unfortunately they were smashed by Lord Ning. ”
Ning Hong was just about to explain, Xiao Han had already nodded and said: "Good smashing, it's good to drink some wine in peacetime, but now in extraordinary times, drinking and making mistakes, Brother Ning has done a good job." Ning Hongcai grinned and said, "I tasted it, that wine is not as good as the one on our Wudang Mountain, and it tastes like horse urine." ”
Everyone laughed, Xiao Han followed and asked if there were secret path mechanisms everywhere, the Wudang disciples shook their heads one after another, and Shui Chenglang, the master of the white dragon rudder, suddenly said: "I didn't find the secret way, but we found a strange phenomenon on the side of the mountain wall in the north." ”
Li Yueying asked, "What is the phenomenon?" Shui Chenglang said: "Several stone houses in the north were destroyed, and we found a strange Buddha shrine behind the stone house, on which a white-clothed Buddha statue was enshrined, the brothers didn't know each other, but no one dared to destroy it, but it was strange why it was built behind the stone house." ”
Chai Xinyue's heart moved, frowned and asked, "Is the Buddha shrine built on the stone wall or a separate Buddha hall?" Shui Chenglang pondered: "The Buddha statue is half a person high, and it is inlaid in the stone wall, and there are incense and candle offerings on both sides. ”
Chai Xinyue pondered: "Can you take me over to have a look?" Xiao Han glanced at her, knowing that she must have discovered something, and hurriedly said: "Let's take a rest and eat something, anyway, it's getting late, it's not too late to go back tomorrow, let's go over and have a look in a while." ”
Li Yueying followed: "Yes, yes, I also want to see what the Buddha statue looks like, is it Guanyin Niangniang?" Shui Chenglang shook his head awkwardly and said: "It's a bit similar, but it's not quite like it, Guanyin Niangniang is holding a net bottle of willow branches, but this white-clothed Buddha statue is holding a lotus flower in his left hand, holding a long sword in his right hand, his eyebrows are slightly raised, and he has a fierce appearance." ”
Everyone had never seen such a Buddha statue, guessing wildly, and having no clue, Xiao Han ordered everyone to rest and eat, and everyone immediately dispersed.
The Wudang disciples divided dozens of people to look for firewood and grass, and dozens of people disemboweled the chickens and ducks they found, and put them on the branches of the trees for barbecue. Thanks to Xiao Han, every time they go to war, several Wudang disciples have coarse salt on them, which happens to be sprinkled on the chickens and ducks at this time, and for a time the whole village is fragrant, which induces the seven sons of Wudang to sniff and pestering the Wudang disciples who are barbecuing.
After a while, the chicken and duck were roasted, and their own disciples sent them to Xiao Han, Li Yueying nibbled on a chicken leg, Chai Xinyue only ate a few pieces of chicken breast, Murong Qiuyu ate a small piece of bacon, but Xiao Han gnawed half a duck.
Needless to say, the heads of the five factions ate their stomachs one by one, and desperately poured water into their stomachs. At this time, it was already dark, and Chu Tianshu had arranged a special person to be on guard, preparing to camp in Dhara Village.
Hu Yunzhao and the four of them also ate five points full under the care of the Wudang disciples, drank some water, and finally came back to their senses, but their bodies were weak for a long time and they couldn't move, so they immediately begged the Wudang disciples to help him come to Xiao Han.
Xiao Han had just finished nibbling on the duck's neck and was about to find water to wash his hands, when he saw him coming, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Brother Hu is better." Hu Yunzhao glanced at him gratefully, nodded and said, "Thank you Brother Xiao for your rescue, Hu will never forget it in this life." ”
Xiao Han waved his hand casually and said: "You're welcome, if you call yourself a brother, you don't need to see outside." Hu Yunzhao nodded slightly, and suddenly said: "I know who the white-clothed Buddha statue that the helmsman of your sect said just now?"
Xiao Han was overjoyed, and just as he was about to ask him, he saw Hu Yunzhao and said with a look of resentment: "They are the White Lotus Sect, an emerging cult from the Great Liao outside the Saiwai, and the Buddha statue is the White Lotus Holy Mother." ”
Xiao Handeng jumped up, shook his head and said, "This is not right, this is not scientific. Hu Yunzhao stared at him and said, "What science?" Xiao Han didn't explain, just frowned and said, "What White Lotus Sect? This era is simply impossible, are you mistaken?"
Hu Yunzhao glanced at him, shook his head and said: "I have been locked in the dungeon for dozens of days, and every five days their disciples come down to deliver food. ”
Xiao Han's inner shock was extraordinary, and he only felt dizzy in his brain in an instant, babble, could it be that there was something wrong with his knowledge system? Or did he read too little in his previous life and remembered things inaccurately?
Thinking about it, searching desperately in my mind, there was no shadow of the White Lotus Sect in my memory from the Tang Dynasty to the Fifth Generation, and now there is only one Red Lotus Sect named after the Lotus sect on the rivers and lakes.
As he was thinking about it, Murong Qiuyu suddenly said softly: "Since it is called the White Lotus Sect, why do they all act in black, and their whereabouts are strange, and there are Liao people among the disciples? ”
Li Yueying snorted: "It doesn't matter what the White Lotus Sect and the Black Lotus Sect are, as long as he dares to provoke my Wudang Sect, he will be wiped out." Chai Xinyue chuckled and said, "Sister, if they collude with Da Liao, you dare to confront the Liao army?"
Li Yueying was suddenly deflated, looked at Xiao Han and said, "What do you say?"
