XXXV. Purdue
After Shangguan Ding listened to Shangguan Qianye and Wan Weiwang's words, he felt that only when he left here could he spread the news to the Tieshan monks, and only the Tieshan monks could avenge everyone.
Although he couldn't bear to leave, if he didn't leave, I am afraid that the master would have no way of knowing who killed these people. Thinking about it, Shangguan Ding swung a few knives violently, forcing Cao Rang to take a few steps back and almost fall. Shangguan Ding took this opportunity to turn around and run.
As soon as Shangguan Ding turned around and rushed forward, he felt as if he had hit a wall, and bounced him back again. Frightened, he took a few steps back, and Pangu smiled in front of him and kept waving it.
When he stopped and looked up, there was an old monk standing in front of him. The old monk was looking at himself with a smile and said, "Don't be afraid, the old man has arrived." ”
Shangguan Ding exclaimed in surprise: "Master Sacrifice Nian!"
The monk smiled and said, "It's the old man." After speaking, Master Shenian said to the four people who were fighting: "Don't stop yet!" Although the sound was not loud, it was extremely penetrating, and with the echo that was unwilling to disperse for a long time, it shook the ears of the people present.
Everyone stopped fighting, Shangguan Qianye and Wan Weiwang jumped to the side of Shenian, Wan Weiwang was very humble and said with a deep bow: "Master, the juniors are polite." ”
She Nian looked at it and said: "Zhongyixia, you were still a child when I saw you back then, only the age of Ding'er. I didn't expect that when I saw you today, you would have been so free. ”
Wan Weiwang clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you seniors for the compliment, Amitabha." ”
Cao Rang and the embarrassed saw that the other party had come to help, and they both jumped back to Chang Jiuren's side, and Chang Jiuren seemed to not see them, still playing with the Tai'a Sword in his hand.
Cao Ranglian called Master a few times, and then he slowly raised his head, and saw an old monk standing opposite, who seemed to be a little familiar. After taking a closer look, he smiled and said, "Ouch, isn't this the old master of Shaolin Temple, Zen Master?"
She Nian smiled and said: "Amitabha, thank Chang Changmen for remembering Lao Gao, I heard that Chang Changmen has improved his martial arts over the years, which is really gratifying." ”
Chang Jiuren said: "Where is it, my kung fu is still far from the world-famous Shaolin Martial Sect. I have heard for a long time that Zen Master Shenian lives alone in Beidou Peak, why do you have to come here today?"
She Nian smiled and said: "The poor monk has nothing to do to wander around, the four seas are home, there is no fixed place, today I happened to come here, I saw that the two of you are fighting, so come in and take a look, by the way, persuade a fight, I don't know if the heroes of the two families can give the old monk this thin face." ”
Chang Jiuren smiled after hearing this: "Why should the old Zen master ask again, our two families have already stopped, doesn't this give you face?"
Shangguan Ding held Pangu Xiao tightly and said to Shenian: "Master, the enemy who killed our parents is on the other side, please help us kill those two dog thieves!"
As if she hadn't heard his words, she continued to say to Chang Jiuren: "It's better to settle the grievance, you are all martial arts heroes, why bother to fight and kill for some trivial things, let's put down the butcher's knife." ”
Chang Jiuren smiled and said, "Okay, everything today is to listen to the Zen master." After speaking, he was about to leave with Cao Rang and the others.
She said, "Chang Changmen, have you forgotten something?"
Chang Jiuren said: "Thank you for the master's concern, we have not forgotten anything." ”
She Nian said: "The Tai'a Sword in your hand is the treasure of the Zhen Sect of the Giant Sword Gate, according to the poor monk, you still keep this thing." What is the use of an object that invites endless evil?"
After hearing this, Chang Jiuren said: "Zen Master, this Tai'a Sword was originally owned by our Proud Sword Gate, and the Giant Sword Gate no longer exists, and now this sword is mine." ”
Master Shenian said: "As the head of a faction, why do Changchangmen also speak with some nonsense, if Changmen doesn't stay today, how can the poor monk let you leave." ”
Chang Jiuren laughed wildly after hearing this: "Old monk, I read that you are the abbot of Wuzong, so I will save some face for you, are you afraid of you?"
She said: "Chang Changmen, the old monk is so old, there is no longer anyone who is afraid or not afraid of me. I'm here today to end the fight between the two of you, and I don't want you to have any more casualties. I won't help the loyal heroes, and I won't help Chang Nagato. It's just that you want to uphold justice, let the Tai'a treasure sword return to its original owner, and then you will go your separate ways. ”
Chang Jiuren said: "Old monk, what if I don't give it?"
She Nian smiled and said, "Then the old man has to come and retrieve it himself." After speaking, he walked slowly towards Chang Jiuren.
Chang Jiuren put the Tai'a sword on his back, stretched out his hand and pulled out his sword and said, "Old Zen master, if you want to move forward again, don't blame me for being rude." ”
After listening to this, she said aloud, "Amitabha!" and still walked forward at a uniform speed.
Chang Jiuren saw that the old monk did not listen to persuasion, and immediately raised his eyebrows, and then said again: "Old abbot, that door chief is rude!"
When she saw that the sword was coming, she didn't dodge, and walked over with a smile. In this way, Chang Jiuren was also surprised, and he didn't know what he was going to do. The tip of the sword was only a few inches away from Shenian, and Shenian still didn't mean to make a move.
Although Chang Jiuren said it toughly, he also knew that this Shaolin monk was by no means in vain, so he withdrew his sword and jumped high, and then stabbed the top of Shenian's head with a sword under his head and feet in the air. The one used was the Sun Rushing Sword that Ding Izumu had practiced at the beginning.
When the Shangguan brothers saw it, they all exclaimed, "Be careful!"
Looking at it again, she didn't even raise her head, but lowered her head. Seeing that everyone didn't know what he wanted to do, it was like waiting to be stabbed to death with a sword.
And only if you look up, you will see hundreds of sword blades straight down, like a big futon, no matter how fast your eyesight is, you can't tell the truth of the sword, only by listening with your ears can you identify the position where the sword fell, so he will lower his head, so that his ears will be closer to the sword blade above.
Seeing that Shenian just stretched out his two fingers, accurately found the sword body in the sword group and gently clamped the sword body, and then gently flipped his wrist, twisting the sword in Chang Jiuren's hand in an instant.
Chang Jiuren's sword was being handed forward, and he suddenly saw that the tip of the sword was magically facing his direction.
Since entering the martial arts, Chang Jiuren, a famous chivalrous warrior on the rivers and lakes and the leaders of various factions, does not know how many fights he has had, but like today, the opponent bent his sword with two fingers within one move, and it was the first time he had encountered it to crack the mastery of his own swordsmanship.
This time, not only did Chang Jiuren be shocked, but at the same time, even the three Cao Rang masters and apprentices and the three Wan Weiwang brothers who were watching the battle were also stunned.
Chang Jiuren, who has always been pretentious, saw it, accepted the move, threw a sword bent into a crescent moon on the ground, hugged his fists and said: "What a powerful Dharma finger, bow down to the wind in Xiagan!" As he spoke, he untied the Tai'a sword from his body and respectfully handed it to Shenian. She took the sword with a smile.
Chang Jiuren said: "Dare to ask the Zen master, what do you want to do with us?"
She said: "The old monk said that today is to persuade the fight, not to live in the next life. If you want to hurt them, I will naturally stop them, and if they want to hurt you, it will be difficult. Go quickly. ”
Chang Jiuren and the other four hugged their fists and said, "Thank you, Zen Master." After speaking, he recited Amitabha, and then turned around and jumped out of the hospital.
When the Shangguan brothers saw that they were chasing after them with their weapons, they didn't look back, they opened their arms, and the two wide monk sleeves waved back, and a strong wind blew, and the Shangguan brothers stood firm in the wind. When they opened their eyes again, Chang Jiuren and the four of them had long since disappeared.
Shangguan Ding stepped forward and said, "Master, why did you let that wicked man go?"
She said: "Wicked people and good people are often just a thought, although they are evil, but there will always be a day to be good, Buddhism is vast, how can it not tolerate one or two wicked people." ”
Wan Weiwang said: "The master is very right, thank you for coming to the rescue today." ”
She said: "Loyal and righteous heroes don't need to be polite, let's go and see your brothers quickly." As he spoke, he handed the Tai'a sword to Wan Weiwang, and then walked out of the temple gate slowly without looking back.
The three brothers hurriedly ran to the side of the four brothers and sisters, and saw that the Zheng brothers were the most seriously injured, and there was a large handprint clearly printed on their necks, which had turned purple, and they were still unconscious.
The left side of Geng Hongjun's face was swollen high, and a lot of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and left ear. But after all this time, I am already somewhat sober. Song Wanying was just clicked by the scabbard, and when she had been exercising for a long time, she was already able to move freely.
Shangguan Ding supported Geng Hongjun, Wan Weiwang and Shangguan Qianye carried the Zheng brothers on their backs, and Song Wanying followed behind. Several people found the nearest medical clinic and treated the three of them.
The doctor briefly showed a few of them, and then gave Geng Hongjun some medicine. He pointed to the Zheng brothers and said to Wan Weiwang: "These two are seriously injured, and it may be difficult to recover without five or seven days of recuperation. ”
Wan Weiwang said: "Doctor, I don't know if you can take in here temporarily, we are all strangers, and it is difficult to find a suitable place nearby for them to recuperate." ”
After listening to this, the doctor said, "Well, ......."
Seeing that he was a little hesitant, Wan Weiwang hurriedly took out twenty taels of silver from his arms and said, "Doctor, don't worry, money is not a problem." ”
The doctor saw the money and smiled: "It's not just about money, but there are also women in my family, and there are so many people in the ranks, I'm afraid there will be a lot of inconvenience." ”
Wan Weiwang smiled after hearing this: "Please rest assured, the five of us don't live here, and we will come to pick him up in seven days." ”
After hearing this, the doctor smiled and said, "Okay, okay, then let them live with me temporarily." ”
Seeing that he agreed, Wan Weiwang hurriedly thanked the doctor, and then turned around and walked out of the doctor's house.
When he went out, Shangguan Qianye said: "Fourth Brother Geng, I really can't stand you, and let you suffer such a grievance for no reason." ”
After listening to this, Geng Hongjun said with a half swollen face: "What did the third brother say, my brother will accompany you when he dies, what is this little injury." Shangguan Qianye was very moved after hearing this, and then turned his head to say something to Song Wanying.
Miss Wanying was the first to speak: "Brother Qianye, don't say it, I am destined to stay by your side for the rest of my life, and your business is my business." ”
After hearing this, Shangguan Qianye gently grabbed Song Wanying's hand and held it in his hand, and said nothing. Song Wanying followed him with a red face.
Shangguan Ding said: "Senior brother, didn't you go to see Master, why did you come back so quickly?"
Wan Weiwang said: "I want to go back, but I'm afraid that something will happen to you after too long, so I wrote a letter to Master halfway and came back in a hurry." ”
Geng Hongjun and Song Wanying knew that Wan Weiwang was the senior brother of the Shangguan brothers, and they had already heard the reputation of loyal and righteous heroes, so they respected him very much.
Wan Weiwang said: "Master Shenian has rescued us several times when we are in danger, and I, as a senior brother, should go to Beidou Peak to thank me in person." ”
Shangguan Ding said: "Let's go together." ”
Wan Weiwang said: "No need, the Zheng brothers are still not awake, if you go too far, I am afraid that something will happen to them, you still find a shop nearby to live, and you can take care of it." ”
Shangguan Qianye said: "Ding'er and I and Sister Wanying are here, fourth brother, you still go to the newcomer to have a look, if you have the opportunity, you can also try it on stage." ”
Geng Hongjun said with a smile: "Third brother, my face is so swollen, you still let me fight by myself?" I should stay here and wait for the eldest brother and second brother, otherwise I will not feel at ease when I go." ”
In this way, Wan Weiwang went to Beidou Peak to worship Xie Shenian Zen Master, and the Shangguan Qianye brothers found a shop nearby to live.
