Chapter 173: Shh
Li Xuan saw Tang Bing leaving, and wanted to get up to stop her, but he felt that the dantian was in pain, struggled a few times, and was sitting down on the couch in a dejected manner, looking helplessly at the empty Zen door, he couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that there was a wooden plaque in the middle of the outer room that was 'Dharma Face Wall Chanting Hall'. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he was secretly surprised, and said in his heart: "Isn't this the side hall where Bing'er prayed for me to be safe...... Just thinking about it, he suddenly saw Xu Sangu in a corner outside the meditation room, and looked over his head to this side.
Xu Sangu seemed to notice that Li Xuan saw him, he was stunned, straightened his clothes without thinking, coughed vigorously, called a seven or eight-year-old novice with vegetarian snacks and tea, and entered the side hall with a smile. As soon as he entered the door, he said very respectfully: "Li Shaoxia is awake......?" Next...... Can I go in and see you?"
Li Xuan was in a bad mood at this time, Tang Bing was gone, and the blow to him was hundreds of times worse than the injuries he was carrying, and he didn't want to see people talk at all, and because he saw Xu Sangu's different behavior, he was even more impatient, and said lightly: "Thanks to Master Xu, something?"
Xu Sangu nodded, cautiously looked at Li Xuan through the hidden door, and saw that he closed his eyes to recuperate, so he instructed Xiao Shami to bring the tea tray to the front of the couch, and then said: "My second son is worried that you are recovering from your illness and can't get used to eating coarse tea and light rice in the temple, so I specially ordered me to bring some exquisite snacks to visit you, and by the way, see what else you need." ”
Li Xuan felt that he was a little insincere, and said secretly: "By the way, I'm afraid you've been outside the door for a long time! When Bing'er talked about the political whirlpool before, she would rather refer to the pen, I'm afraid that someone outside the door will listen. Alas...... I don't know if this person really obeyed the orders of the second son, Li Shimin, or if he had other purposes, in short, his sneaky appearance is a little annoying. Thinking of this, he snorted coldly: "What else do I need as a waste!" Xu Sangu saw that after Li Xuan dropped a sentence, he closed his eyes and stopped talking, and said with a smile: "In the next time, I would like to thank you for your kindness to save me!" Li Xuan said lightly: "I did make a move, but I didn't defeat Yuwen Gongzi's gang." Therefore, it is not I who will save you. Xu Sangu shook his head and said, "Li Shaoxia is polite." If it weren't for the fact that you replaced the three Zen masters of Zhizong in time, you fought with Yuwen Gongzi and others alone, and bought time for the people in the temple to cure poison and save themselves. Don't talk about my life, I'm afraid that the lives of everyone in the Shaolin Temple will not be guaranteed. Li Xuan remained silent and sighed long: "I was injured by Yuwen Gongzi, and I saw Miss Ling Long appear in a trance, as for the later ...... What happened?"
Xu Sangu said: "You handed over the dragon scale fish beads to me, and then closed the door of the Shaolin Temple, and asked me to save the three Zen masters of Zhizong." I was about to open the door and go out, and fight with you Yuwen Gongzi, but I didn't expect Miss Ling Long to suddenly appear.
When she saw the dragon scale fish bead in my hand, she was extremely happy, and immediately used it to drug the three Zen masters of Zhizong, and told me that most of the poison in the bodies of the Zen masters of Zhizong had been expelled. She also said that with your internal strength and martial arts, you will be able to support the time of a stick of incense. At that time, the Shaolin Zen masters will recover their skills and kill them together, and the people of Yuwen Gongzi will definitely be defeated.
I was so happy that I wanted to rush out, but I restrained myself...... Through the door, I heard you fight the thieves fiercely, and although the whole process was thrilling, you defused it one by one. Li Shaoxia, don't laugh at me for being cowardly, in fact, I focus on the overall situation...... Hey...... Things developed as Miss Ling expected, and in less than a stick of incense, the repentant host and the Zhiyu Zen master, as well as dozens of master monks in the temple, recovered their skills one after another. We rushed out with Miss Ling, just in time for Yuwen Gongzi to volley you out...... That cripple is so fucking insidious!"
Li Xuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Xu Sangu's sudden foul mouth, feeling that he seemed to want to show something in front of him, and asked in a deep voice: "Why is Miss Ling in the temple? Could it be that she arrived at the Shaolin Temple before me?" Xu Sangu nodded and replied, "That's true." In fact, when Senior Brother Lu and I rushed to the temple, she had already given several Zen masters and monks antidote drugs. It's just that the soft tendons arranged by Yuwen Gongzi are scattered from the hands of Huang Datong, the five immortals of the pine forest, and they are very powerful. Therefore, it will take time to completely detoxify...... It is also for this reason that the three Zen masters of Zhizong rushed to the door with me and Senior Brother Lu, trying to desperately delay time. Alas, it was really dangerous, and if you hadn't shown up in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Li Xuan said: "Could it be that Yuwen Gongzi willingly left when he saw Miss Ling and the repentant host and several other Zen masters appear?"
Xu Sangu said: "They originally wanted to rely on the strength of the crowd to resist stubbornly, but the repentant host has not yet made a move, and the Zen Master Zhiyu has forced Yuwen Gongzi to be unable to resist. Yuwen Gongzi was very cunning, and when he saw that the general trend had gone, he naturally ordered a retreat. ”
After hearing this, Li Xuan asked, "Why are you telling me this? Is it just to tell me that because I blocked the time of Yuwen Gongzi from taking a stick of incense, I saved the lives of the people in the temple?" Xu Sangu Zhengse said: "Of course it's more than that...... My second son-in-law asked me to come and have a look. If you agree, can you talk to him in the evening?" Li Xuan sneered: "I knew you wouldn't come for no reason. What is the use of evening ...... Although I have lost all my strength, I can still be spiritual. You tell the second son, I am waiting for you at any time. Xu Sangu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Li Shaoxia is really a happy person, so good." After speaking, when he got up to leave, he said, "Li Shaoxia will eat the dim sum first." These snacks are made from the meat of deep-sea sea insects, which is the supreme divine product for healing internal injuries and speeding up healing...... There is also this tea, which is made of thousand-year-old ginseng and ice lotus and blood grass, which not only replenishes qi and benefits the spirits, but also has the miraculous effect of regulating yin and yang......" Li Xuan said: "The second son is so pompous. Could it be that he takes all these exotic flowers and plants with him when he travels?"
Xu Sangu shook his head and said, "The second son has always acted in a simple and low-key manner, how can he bring these rare sea insects and flowers with him at any time." Well, when you were unconscious, he sent someone to temporarily fetch it from the house at an expedited speed of 800 miles. ”
Li Xuan heard the words and said: "Thank you for your love." Hey...... The second son you serve is not simple, but it is really not simple!"
Xu Sangu smiled: "That's right. I and Senior Brother Lu Yiyi are both Shaolin lay disciples, and like other people in the rivers and lakes, we have traveled the rivers and lakes with our martial arts, and we have lived a life of licking knives. But in troubled times, can you live longer and more comfortably than others with high martial arts alone, or have a smooth heart...... Hehe, since the young man is a person in the rivers and lakes, he must know otherwise! Therefore, if he can't set up his own gang, he must take refuge in the master. And the second son is a rare master!"
Li Xuan saw Xu Sangu stop walking, and couldn't help laughing: "Congratulations to Master Xu for meeting the master...... If you don't have anything else to do......" Xu Sangu saw that although Li Xuan was smiling, his expression was a little impatient, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "It's bothering, it's bothering." After finishing speaking, he gently closed the door and left in a hurry. Li Xuan saw that after Xu Sangu turned the corner, he disappeared, and said secretly in his heart: "This person's martial arts are not low, but he is a mother-in-law." Hmph, Bing'er seemed to be helpless when she left before, could it be that she made a helpless move under the coercion of her second son......, Li Shimin? Now that I have lost all my skills, it is a great luck to be able to keep the dantian from fragmentation. If Bing'er leaves me, I can have a good home, even if I feel a little bitter in my heart......" Although Li Xuan thought so, whenever he thought of the word 'Bing'er', he still couldn't help but sting. But now she can't protect herself, and leaving her behind may involve her.
He looked at the snacks and tea on the plate, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and sighed: "I didn't expect that I was seriously injured this time, and I actually saved the world-famous Shaolin and the second son who is ambitious, powerful, talented and extraordinary, all the blessings and misfortunes?"
Li Xuanzheng was thinking wildly, but saw two more people walking slowly outside the door of the meditation room. He saw that the two people who came were none other than Mr. Chu Nanshengchu, a famous sword in Hebei who had fought with Yuwen Gongzi and others outside the temple earlier, and Qiao Shiting Qiao, who was known as the 'Lingnan One Finger'. He watched the two of them come and said to himself, "What are they doing again?"
Chu Nansheng is emaciated, but he is only about forty years old, although his injury has only healed, and his face is slightly pale, but his eyes are still shining. And Qiao Shiting is more than half a hundred years old, although his hair and beard are white, he still walks with a vigorous gait, and he is powerful, so that people can know at first glance that he is a person who has practiced foreign kung fu to the peak. When the two of them came to the side hall, they first straightened their clothes, and then buttoned the door of the meditation room and asked, "Li Shaoxia, are you resting now?"
Li Xuan didn't know what the two of them were looking for him, so he answered and invited the two into the house.
Qiao Shiting had a hearty personality, and when he saw Li Xuan's pale face, leaning on the couch, and the snacks and tea on the food plate in front of him were not moving, he couldn't help but sigh: "Why doesn't Li Shaoxia eat......?" The old man brought it to you and watched you eat it slowly. ”
Li Xuan had a drinking and chatting with Yao Zikong earlier, and he had heard him talk about Qiao Shiting, and knew that this person was from a wealthy background, and he was a big family of the Qiao clan in Lingnan. Despite this, he is still like all the famous people in the world, he is short-tempered, and rarely takes others seriously. Such a person actually threw himself under the hands of the second son, Li Shimin! When he saw Qiao Shiting personally pick up the food plate and send it to him, how could he accept it with a big stab, and he was busy owing it, so he took it and put it on his crossed knee and said: "How can you work with the junior in the lower junior school." ”
Qiao Shiting saw that Li Xuan was injured, but he was still humble and polite, and couldn't help but praise: "Your Excellency is young, not only knowledgeable, but also not arrogant, rare!" After finishing speaking, he said to Chu Nansheng: "It seems that the second son is not wrong." ”
When Chu Nansheng heard this, he smiled and exclaimed: "We are here to thank Li Shaoxia, and don't talk about the second son." Qiao Shiting laughed and said: "That's right! Li Shaoxia, you risked your life to fight those thieves in Yuwen Huodu, you are really a hero! Come on...... First of all, I and Xiao Chu bowed. And when he had spoken, he gave a great gift of thanksgiving.
Seeing this, Li Xuan hurriedly stopped: "I can't do it, I can't do it." The two of them are blessed with great fortune, and they have been favored by God, how dare the younger generations accept it. The three of them politely exchanged words for a long time, but in the end, Li Xuan still couldn't shirk it, and reluctantly accepted the two of them bowing and saluting, so he gave up. The three of them hit it off at first sight and talked about some anecdotes. Qiao Shiting was very happy when he saw Li Xuan finish the dim sum and tea, and said loudly: "Li Shaoxia, rest, if there is a place where Qiao needs someone in the future, just greet us, and he will definitely die." Li Xuan was busy and humble, and wondered in his heart: "This person's martial arts and prestige are not low, and now he not only bows and thanks me, but also promises to ...... It's weird. After Chu Qiao and the others left, Lu Yiyi led a few more people to visit, in addition to praising Li Xuan's martial arts for his extraordinary intelligence, he couldn't help but thank him. Li Xuan knew that Lu Yiyi was poisoned by the 'Thunder Storm Fishbone Needle' launched by Ding Qiankun, although he was able to save his life, but under the damage of his internal strength and spirit, he still came to visit him, in addition to being moved, it was even more strange, and when he saw the rest of the people going out, he called Lu Yiyi and said: "Master Lu, you stay and talk about it." Well, I have some questions for you below. ”
Lu Yiyi hesitated for a moment when he heard this, but he still turned around to cover the door, and said with a smile: "Li Shaoxia has any questions, just ask!"
The shadow of the pine and cypress branches outside the meditation room is shaking, the west is slanting day by day, the earth is becoming more and more depressed and lonely, and the ancient temple is even quieter and makes people's hearts stop like water.
Li Xuan was a little tired, sighed, didn't detour, and asked bluntly: "Since I woke up, in addition to the repentant Zen master, the second son, Miss Ling and Bing'er who have come to visit, you have also worked hard to greet each other, except for thanking each other for saving your life, it seems that you are too polite...... You have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and you understand that it is reasonable to know that you are grateful to repay the kindness, but after all, you are all people around the second son, and you can get the consent of the lord by dialing them one by one? And you can't stop boasting about how benevolent and righteous the second son is, what is the purpose of doing this? I think you must have other meanings!"
When Lu Yiyi heard this, he smiled embarrassedly, his pale face became even paler, and after being silent for a while, he said slowly: "Li Shaoxia has strong martial arts, a resolute temperament, and is fast talking, and he is indeed an extraordinary person. I should not have answered these questions. But now that you have asked, I will have the courage to explain it to you. Hehe...... I think you can also see that although my second son is young, he is virtuous and straightforward, far-sighted, and has the lord of the world in his heart. Because he saw that the world was gradually chaotic, he set up a grand ambition to level the world and serve the court when he was young. It's a pity that today's emperor is not only mediocre and indecisive, but also only knows pleasure, not pearls. Helpless, the second son can only have another way to raise his own great cause. ”
When Li Xuan heard this, he said coldly: "What is the way of great causes? Master Lu, although I don't study much, I also understand that your second son is so suspected of usurpation!" Lu Yiyi smiled faintly: "You are serious." Hey...... The second son often said that the way of a saint is to be the master of the people, and to be the master of the people is the royal way. There is a saying that if all the people in the world are surging water, the temple of the ruler is just a small boat...... Hey...... The river can carry boats, but also can overturn boats, and those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Therefore, the way of the second son's great cause is to create a way for all the people to live happily and peacefully! A prosperous and peaceful country for a thousand years is exactly the wish of the second son for many years!" Li Xuan heard this, nodded, and sighed: "Water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat, and whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world! The one who can confide in this must be an extraordinary person!"
But before his words fell, he heard a calm and extraordinary voice outside the door: "Those who can understand this are also extraordinary people." Before the words fell, the Zen door was gently pushed open. Outside the door, a young man dressed in simple clothes and a gentle young Taoist with a thin figure and a peculiar face were looking at Li Xuan and Lu Yiyi in the meditation room with a smile.
Lu Yiyi was shocked when he saw the two people outside the door, stabilized his mind, and said prostrately: "It's such a cold day, but the second son is here!"
The second son, Li Shimin, said with a smile: "I said a long time ago, Master Lu, you are from the rivers and lakes, even if you listen to errands in the Taishou Mansion, you don't want to be an official. Let's be casual, just follow the rules of the rivers and lakes, and treat me as the leader of the gang. ”
Lu Yiyi answered, stood behind Li Shimin, and stood solemnly.
Li Xuan had seen Li Shimin earlier, and he had felt that although he was young, he was as elegant as a dragon, no matter how he behaved, talked and laughed, and now that he met again, he felt that there was an incomparable brilliance in his graceful bearing. His mind flashed over Tang Bing's sad expression when he was leaving, and a feeling of emptiness suddenly surged in his heart, and he smiled reluctantly, and he only owed it.
Li Shimin sat down cross-legged in front of Li Xuan's couch, looked at Li Xuan with a smile, and said slowly: "I originally planned to talk to you after the curtain falls." But I didn't expect that Yuan Daoren arrived earlier than the preset time, so he happened to hear the conversation between the two. Brother Li, you won't blame us for our reckless visit, right?" Li Xuan smiled when he heard this: "You are more familiar with Shaolin Temple than me. I am a guest, how can I suspect the host of a reckless visit!" Li Shimin laughed and said: "I am also a guest in Shaolin Temple." Well, what Master Lu said, I did say. Alas...... The doubts in the Li family's brother are up to me. You see, if the situation is chaotic and people's hearts are anxious, they have reached the situation of Wang Fei Wang and Kou Fei Kou. If we want to change the current situation, we must re-establish the faith of loyalty that has been trampled and broken, and if we want to establish the faith of loyalty, we need to find a way to achieve great things in troubled times. Li Xuan heard Li Shimin mention the way of great cause again, and said with a faint smile: "The second son has such ambitions, which is gratifying." But below is the recklessness of the rivers and lakes, I only want to be able to live in a corner, and I don't want to be heard in the world. Therefore, the way of great deeds is illusory to me. Li Shimin said with a smile: "If the way of great cause is illusory to others, I may believe it." But for you, brother, it's a great responsibility!"
Li Xuandao: "Heavy responsibilities and wide responsibilities! Hey, I am a person who has exhausted his martial arts, and it is the favor of the heavens to be able to save my life, so how can I have a heavy responsibility?"
Li Shimin turned his head to look at Yuan Daoren behind him, and said to Li Xuan: "This is Yuan Tiangang and Yuan Daoren, who is proficient in the numerology of the stars and can observe thousands of years. Come, and ask him to answer your doubts. Li Xuan glanced at Yuan Tiangang and saw that he was young, although he was thin, but outside of the Xuanyi long sword dress, there was a faint and unearthly temperament, especially those moist and crystal eyes, if he looked at him for a while, it seemed that any secrets hidden in his heart could not be hidden.
Yuan Tiangang looked at Li Xuan quietly, and said lightly: "Does Li Shaoxia recognize the half-eyed senior?" Li Xuan was stunned when he heard this, and muttered: "I recognize." Yuan Tiangang nodded and said, "I know you recognize it." Li Xuan said: "Do you know?" Yuan Tiangang said: "Do you know that after Sha's predecessor escaped, he once ignited a teenager!
Li Xuan was taken aback and said, "I did hear what Senior Sha said...... He said that he had met a genius in his life, but of the two, there was a person named Yuan Tiangang, but he didn't expect it to be Your Excellency. When Yuan Tiangang heard this, he smiled heartily: "Since there are only two geniuses, they are the two." I'm one of them, but what about the other one?" Li Xuan was stunned when he heard this, and before he could answer, Yuan Tiangang already said with a solemn expression: "Isn't the other person Sha Lao said about you?" (To be continued.) )
