When they arrived near Shaolin Mountain, the three monks settled Li Xuan and Ling Long in a farmhouse at the bottom of the mountain, simply ate some vegetarian food, and went to Shaolin Temple to resume their lives. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info and Ling Long saw that Li Xuan and Aunt Shu were idle, so he talked about why he could suddenly appear behind the three Wei brothers.

It turned out that after Ling Long and Li Xuan separated, they went to check who the person who made the breathing sound was, but before they got closer, they had already found that the three monks were hurrying towards the dense forest clearing. Since the three monks had just arrived, it must have been someone else who made the breathing sound.

Ling Long didn't go back, and continued to slowly approach the person who was hiding, but the person who was hiding seemed to have also come to observe the situation in the dense forest clearing, so it only took a moment for him to leave quietly. In order to find out, Ling Long followed the past all the way, and it was only because of this that he heard the plan of the three Wei brothers, so he was able to appear at the most critical time and help Li Xuan and others avoid this life and death catastrophe.

Li Xuan saw Ling Long clasping her hands on her knees, curled up on a wooden chair in the farmhouse, and the light like a bean illuminated her beautiful and fair face seemed to be covered with a layer of translucent yellow veil, hazy and mysterious. He looked at her in a daze, and inevitably thought of Tang Bing in his heart. What is she doing now? She must be asleep so late! Tang Bing's voice and smile flickered in his mind, he could see it but couldn't touch it!

He used the iron tongs to stir the red-hot charcoal fire in the basin, and listened to Ling Long's explanation of the process of following the three Wei brothers, but he knew in his heart that the thrill she had experienced in tracking must be no less than a duel with a master, and he wanted to praise her for her wit and courage, but when he saw that her eyes suddenly turned red, not only did she stop talking, but two horizontal tears flowed down her cheeks.

Ling Long looked at Shi Wanrou, who was wrapped in cloth, with tears in his eyes, and said in a mournful voice: "I originally planned to show our relationship in a timely manner after meeting my aunt, but I didn't expect that she would be tricked by Shangguan Xiaoxiong and die of exhaustion! Zen Master Zhimu and Aunt Shu looked at each other when they heard this, and it seemed extremely difficult to believe. After a while, Zen Master Zhimu sighed slightly: "We have been neighbors for so long, but we didn't know that you were the daughter of an old man...... Alas, this world is really too small, it seems that the Buddha favored me, and turning around gave me the opportunity to repay the love of the year. When they heard this, they were puzzled. Ling Long stopped his grief and felt strange, and asked, "The relationship back then, Master Zhimu, do we have a relationship between us? If you are willing, please give us a detailed explanation!"

Zhimu Zen Master said: "When I came from the Western Regions to the East, I was mistakenly caught by a villain, but fortunately, Shi Xuangang's junior brother came to the rescue, and I escaped the catastrophe. I knew that he was obsessed with martial arts and admired Shaolin martial arts, so I became his introduction to the monk...... That's it, the old things are far away, and take care of the people in front of you. Ling Long, since you are the descendant of the Shi family and the Ling family, you should not stick to Shaomu Mountain. Hehe, according to Lao Gao, the world of rivers and lakes is a good place for young people to travel!"

Ling Long didn't expect his father Shi Xuangang to have such a fate with Zen Master Zhimu, so he stopped crying and said with a firm expression: "I didn't expect that the master would have such a high level of cultivation, and he wouldn't ...... Ahh What the Master said is exactly what I want. ”

Zen Master Zhimu smiled slightly: "You want to say that my cultivation is a bit high, but I am not pedantic, right?" He saw Ling Long nodding and said gently: "If you have any difficulties in the future, if you need my help, no matter what you say, the old man will definitely help you." ”

Ling Long was overjoyed when he heard this, and Li Xuan and the others were also happy for Ling Long when they heard Zen Master Zhimu say this. Zen Master Zhimu looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Do you know why I came back in a hurry late at night?" Without waiting for everyone to ask, Zen Master Zhimu himself said slowly: "In the two battles in the dense forest, I have participated in it with Zhizong and Zhixing. Although Shangguan Xiaoxiong once forcibly broke into the Shaolin Temple, according to the rules of Shaolin, the monks should be magnanimous and compassionate, and should not have the idea of revenge, not to mention the two battles in the dense forest, which were tragic and weird, and also involved the lives of the three Wei brothers, Zhou Fei, Bao Shu and other five lives.

I went back to the temple to restore my life, and I have made this experience clear and repentant, and I was punished for not being allowed to participate in the Taishan Heroes Club. ”

Li Xuan regretted: "In this case, Shaolin will not attend this grand event?"

Zen Master Zhimu nodded and sighed, "Exactly." But when I came back late at night with Senior Brother Zhi, there was actually something else important. ”

Ling Long said, "What's the matter?"

Zhimu Zen Master Gao announced a Buddha horn, his expression was solemn, and he said slowly: "The repentant host of this temple heard that Shi Wanrou, the owner of the Tibetan Sword Villa, was unfortunately killed, and decided to appoint me and the senior brother of Zhizong to come back to cremate her body, and bring the ashes to the Shaolin Temple to hold a ninety-nine eighty-one day super death ceremony for her. After finishing speaking, he slowly got up and walked to Shi Wanrou, who was already cold, sat down cross-legged with Zen Master Zhizong, arranged the wooden fish and other chanting objects properly, and recited the mantra in a low voice.

Everyone knows that if the ashes of the deceased can be obtained by the Shaolin Temple monks for 9981 days, it can be described as a supreme glory.

Aunt Shu, Sister Mei, and Sister Shui heard this, and their hearts were grateful, although they were extremely reluctant to cremate Shi Wanrou into ashes, but the governor had come to this point, irretrievable, so while crying, they began to work on matters related to the cremation of Shi Wanrou.

Han Zishan returned from the dense forest, and he was in a terrible mood. He has been in the rivers and lakes since he entered the rivers and lakes, except for the defeat to Hu Shanye that year, he was very embarrassed by defeat, although he never said a word, but when he saw the firewood spread under Shi Wanrou's body burning, the feelings that had been pent up in his heart for decades were about to turn into a wisp of smoke, and he couldn't bear it anymore, and finally burst into tears.

At this time, he saw his lifelong favorite Rou girl turned into ashes with the fireworks, and knew that if he read it again, he could only see each other in a midnight dream, in the thoughts of many years, so he could no longer support it, only to feel that his eyes were dark, and he fainted.

Han Zishan woke up, and it was dawn.

Shi Wanrou's warm ashes have been packed into the ancient altar. Zen Master Zhimu and Zhizong have stopped chanting and are silent. He saw Aunt Shu looking at him with a sad face, but he staggered up and said to Li Xuan: "Miss Rou has turned into ashes, I want to follow Zen Master Zhimu to Shaomu Mountain, and then return to the villa after the over-the-top ceremony, and let Miss Rou enter the soil as soon as possible." ”

Li Xuan nodded and said, "I know your thoughts and feelings best!" Zhimu and Zhizong Zen Master said in unison: "This is the best." Han Shizhu is injured, if he travels far away, it may aggravate the injury, and after arriving at the Shaolin Temple, he will definitely be able to recuperate in peace. As he spoke, he looked at Aunt Shu and said, "Shaolin Temple does not accept female donors, so please go back to the Tibetan Sword Villa and wait first." ”

Aunt Shu sighed and said, "When Miss Rou led us out, all the mechanisms of the villa were activated. The organs in the village are tight, the willow branches left behind cannot come out inside, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter, and only the owner's dark iron inlaid jade key can remove all the mechanisms. ”

When Li Xuan heard this, he took out the Xuantie inlaid jade key and handed it to Aunt Shu without thinking, and told Aunt Shu and Sister Mei to be careful, and then waved goodbye to them. After a busy night, the sky was already bright. After Li Xuan, Ling Long and everyone said goodbye, they went north along Shaomu Mountain. After a day's journey, until noon, the two suddenly heard the sound of 'cooing' in the air in the distance. Could it be that the two winged Peng birds, Aofeng and Xiangyun, are chasing it!

The two of them looked up and saw two black dots faintly flying in the lead-colored clouds behind them. Li Xuan and Ling Long glanced at each other, and said in their hearts: "Earlier, in order to lead Shi Wanrou and others to the encirclement of Shangguan Xiaoxiong, the three Wei brothers hit Xiangyun Peng Bird with copper pipe fire bombs, which was to prevent it from sending Sister Shui's distress letter, and because of this, Xiang Yun Peng Bird's wings were pierced by copper pipe fire bombs and were seriously injured. But after only a few days, will it be able to flap its wings again and fly with the wind?" the two stopped, looked curiously, and sure enough, within a moment, two black dots flew closer, and it was really a flying winged bird.

Li Xuan beckoned the two birds to fall beside him, and saw that there was a gray coarse cloth tied to Aofeng's body, and he took it down to take a closer look, and saw that it was a letter written by the Zen master Zhiyu. The letter not only depicts a detailed route to Mount Tai, but also explains the process of healing Xiangyun Peng Bird.

It turns out that the deepest Buddhism in Shaolin Temple is the presiding over the confession, the highest martial arts is the Zhiyu Zen Master, and the most knowledgeable and proficient in various miscellaneous studies is the Zhicong Zen Master. That day, Zen Master Zhicong saw that Xiangyun Pengniao was injured, and regretted it, so he began to heal.

After some careful treatment, coupled with the fact that the Flying Wing Peng Bird is born with a strong self-healing ability, so in less than three or two days, the Xiangyun Peng Bird has been able to barely spread its wings and fly high. Li Xuan secretly praised, pointed to the road map drawn by Zen Master Zhiyu and said to Ling Long: "Zen Master Zhiyu suggested that we take the land route. Ling Long looked at it, shook his head and said, "If you take the land route, I'm afraid it will take at least ten days to a month to reach Mount Tai." Brother Xuan, the Zen Master Zhiyu arranged for the Flying Wing Peng Bird to join us, is it to let us take the Flying Wing Peng Bird to hurry?" Li Xuan muttered slightly: "Although the Flying Wing Peng Bird is a rare divine object in the world, the Xiangyun Peng Bird can only recover from serious injuries and cannot carry people. If you force it, you may have unimaginable consequences. You see, one of these two birds is injured, and the other is always loving and caring and reluctant to give up, how can we bear to drive and use it! Even if the Aofeng Peng Bird can carry us far away, how can you and I bear to let Xiangyun suffer!"

Ling Long nodded and asked, "Isn't there a faster way?"

Li Xuan groaned: "I don't know if the Yellow River is frozen at this time, if it is not frozen, we can take a boat to the east." ”

Ling Long sighed: "It seems that we can only try our luck on the banks of the Yellow River!"

The two of them had made up their minds and accelerated their journey, so in less than a day, the two of them had passed through Fudian, Song Ling, and Gongyi to the ancient Yellow River, which had been twisting and turning for thousands of years. The riverside is bleak, the barren grass is green, three or two shriveled old willows with lost leaves are listlessly picking on the bank, and four or five dejected crows are squatting on the branches, looking around, as if ignoring the sorrow of the world, and as if they want to sing a sad song for the panicked beings. Li Xuan saw that the river beach ferry was leaning on a wooden boat, and not far from the ferry, there was a towering boulder with five big characters written on it: 'Dafengpo Ferry'. The two of them had no time to stop and admire, and hurriedly ran to the ferry, but before they got close, they heard a captain shouting and talking. Li Xuan was worried that the Flying Winged Peng Bird would startle the captain, so he let out a long howl and gave an order, telling them to fly to the east on their own first. Soaring Wind Soaring Yunpeng Bird understood Li Xuan's command, flapped its wings and flew away. Li Xuan and Ling Long also got on the wooden boat and headed down the river in the direction of Shandong.

The water of the Yellow River has flowed eastward for thousands of years. Although the two sides of the Yellow River are not as steep and steep as the Yangtze River, the scenery is beautiful, but the turbid water is rolling and flowing, sometimes running wildly, sometimes restrained, sometimes quiet, sometimes roaring, which also makes people intoxicated. Every year in the middle of winter, the upper reaches of the Yellow River will freeze in a large area, and it is difficult for boats to walk back and forth, while the middle and lower reaches of the river are strong and sharp ice in the upper reaches, making this season extremely dangerous.

However, although there are occasional snowstorms in the sky these days, the sunshine is surprisingly good. There is no wind and snow, the soil is still soft, and the Yellow River has also appeared a rare wonder in a century.

Li Xuan and Ling Long secretly rejoiced, because the two not only caught up with the ice-free river, but also happened to catch up with a wooden boat leaning against the windy slope.

The two got on the boat, paid the fare, and were arranged into the cabin by the captain of the boat, but saw that there were already seven or eight men and women of different heights, shortness, fat and thinness in the cabin. Li Xuan and Ling Long knew that they were able to take a boat to the east this time, and God took care of them to give them a good weather that they had not encountered in a century. If there is a sudden attack of wind and snow on the way, it is unknown whether it can reach Shandong by boat.

The wooden boat traveled eastward, and the wind and water were smooth, and in a few days it passed several dangerous beaches. On this day, the wooden boat anchored at a ferry port, and seven strange-looking men came up. First, a thin black man paid the fare for the boat ride and went into the cabin with his companions.

Li Xuan and Ling Long were both on a boat for the first time, and they were a little excited, sometimes going to the bow of the boat to enjoy the scenery, and sometimes taking out the prepared wine to drink, although they were not at ease, they were also leisurely and relaxed. Traveling eastward in this way, not only did I not encounter the ice that should be there at this time, but also the boat traveled very fast. In the past few days, although Li Xuan and Ling Long have relied on their deep internal strength and have not been seasick, they are always tossing on the waves, and they still feel extremely depressed in their chests. Seeing that dusk was approaching, the two of them made an appointment to go to the bow of the boat to breathe, and found that at this time, the slanting sun was slowly falling westward, and the faint reddish sunset was stained with the western sky.

Ling Long stood beside Li Xuan, admiring the scenery on the riverbank with him, and was in great interest, when he suddenly realized that Li Xuan had been silent for a long time, turned his head and saw him looking into the distance, silent, and said, "What's the matter?"

Li Xuan sighed: "I'm really a little worried about Ah Ying, Brother Yao, and Zhu Yezi, and I don't know what happened to them now!" Ling Long smiled and said, "It turns out that you really sighed because of this!" Li Xuan shook his head when he heard this, and said slowly: "I sighed because I realized that the current situation is a little delicate. Miss Ling, do you feel that the atmosphere on the ship is a little weird?"

Ling Longqi said: "Weird?"

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Don't you think it's strange to look at those men at the stern of the boat?" Ling Long turned his head to look at them and said, "Although they look weird, judging from their outfits, they seem to be just seven businessmen doing business!"

At this time, a few men at the stern of the boat saw Li Xuan and Ling Long turn their heads to look over, and hurriedly whispered a few words, and then hurriedly returned to the cabin.

Li Xuan shook his head and said, "Do you remember which ferry they were on?" Ling Long pondered, "If I remember correctly, they should be on the last ferry." Brother Li, in your opinion, are these people against us?" Li Xuan pondered: "I'm not sure about this, but when they got on the boat, not only did their eyes wander, but they also seemed to deliberately act like they were walking heavily and had no martial arts. It's just that if a person has practiced martial arts, it is difficult to hide his tone, eyes, walking, and breathing. I think that although they are not strong in internal strength, they are quite energetic in sitting and walking, maybe they are good at underwater kung fu!" Ling Long was puzzled: "Good at underwater kung fu, but how can you see it?" Li Xuan smiled and said, "I can see it from the whites of their eyes." You should know that the normal color of the white area of the eyes of ordinary people is blue-white, and the whites of the eyes of these people are red. If they hadn't been active underwater all year round, why would the whites of their eyes be red? Moreover, these people are emaciated, have long legs and long arms, which is exactly what meets the requirements of practicing underwater kung fu. That's why I conclude that either they have come to rob the ship's merchants, or they have come here to trouble us. ”

Ling Long nodded and said, "Why are they bothering us?" Hmph...... I'm not afraid!Brother Xuan, how should we deal with it?"

Li Xuan said: "You and I are not watery, if you enter the water in this season, although you can entangle with people by internal breath, I am afraid that you will also be frozen to death." So we'll just have to wait and see. As they said this, they suddenly felt the boat trembling under their feet, as if walking on a bumpy road. Did you meet Bingling? Li Xuan and Ling Long looked at each other, and saw that the already wide water in front of them had narrowed somehow, and the river was stirring up. The wooden boat continued to move forward, and the yellow water under the boat was suddenly enraged by the narrowing of the river, and was very reluctant to be caught in the middle of the riverbank, struggling, like a yellow ribbon that was tied and fluttering in the wind, swaying and undulating not only to speed up the flow of the river, but also to stir up restlessness.

The captain looked like an old man, standing firmly at the stern of the boat, with thick arms, firmly holding the rudder, and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, the road ahead is bumpy, hurry up and hold on to the fixtures, and don't move around...... This is our last trip to deal a year ago, if it is done, the small life is in hand, if you accidentally anger the Yellow River Dragon King, it is not a joke...... Everyone, look at it, there is a central island not far ahead, and we will have to go over it before dark anyway!"

He had barely finished his cry when a huge wave rushed towards the bow of the boat, and the wooden boat shook three times and two times.

Li Xuan took Ling Long's hand, held the side of the boat, and looked up in the direction that the boss said, only to see that the Yellow River water under the twilight of dusk had been shrouded in misty water vapor at some point. The water vapor is thick, the river is rushing, and the two are intertwined. The captain steered the wooden boat, although it was a little bumpy and undulating, but it was still moving forward in the swirling and agitated waves.

Everyone in the cabin heard the shouts of the captain, and although they were a little nervous, they poked their heads out to look. The seven strange-looking men looked at the steamy front and glanced at each other a few times, with a look of joy and sadness in their eyes. (To be continued.) )
