Chapter 66: Mystery
Zuo Huatian sat in the room and told Yuwen Songxian, Yi Dan, and Youming the whole story.
"That's how the whole thing happened, I went to Liangzhou to help the head of Huyan to repel the Dade Sect, and I rushed back immediately. I didn't expect it, but what I saw was this ending. The disciples were killed and wounded, and the century-old reputation of my SF escort was also ruined. Hey..."Zuo Tian sighed.
"Brother Zuo, do you mean to say that now that the relics have been lost, I don't know who snatched them, right?" Yuwen Song asked first.
"That's right, that's why I flew the pigeon to pass the book, and I urgently asked Brother Yuwen to come over and help me think of a way. Now Master Tianning of Qiyun Temple knows that there has been an accident and is on his way to Shexian, and it is estimated that he will arrive today and tomorrow. I don't have a clue, I don't know how to deal with it, hey..."
At this time, Yi Dan on the side interjected and asked, "Dare to ask Zuo Daxia, where are your apprentices and Shentu Daxia of the Huangshan Sect now?"
"Hey, the bad guy Song Hui was seriously injured and is still unconscious. Brother Shentu is taking care of him in his room," Zuo said.
"So, at present, the only one who knows the details of the whole thing is this Shentu hero?" Yi Dan asked.
"That's right. I asked Brother Shentu, and he didn't know who did it. Zuo said.
"At the beginning, Master Tianning was because he trusted Brother Zuo's reputation, so he entrusted such an important matter. It seems that this matter is really a bit tricky," Yuwen Song said first.
"Yes, I also promised Master Tianning that I patted my chest at the beginning. Seeing that this Master Tianning is about to arrive, I don't know how to explain to him, hey, SF Express's century-old reputation is gone. It's all my fault, it's all my fault, I can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into..."Zuo Zhuotian said ashamedly.
"Zuo Daxia, you don't have to blame yourself so much, the most important thing at the moment is to find out the truth of the matter quickly, and not to mess with yourself. I dare to speculate that since the escort is not a gold and silver soft, it should not be an ordinary thief seeking wealth to loot," Yi Dan said.
"The girl's analysis has some truth, but it doesn't rule out those thieves who rob the goods and demand ransom," Zuo said.
"After all these days, no one has come to ask for ransom. I think there may be something else going on in this matter," Yi Dan said.
At this moment, a man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old with a wound belt wrapped around his arm walked in at the door. The man saw that Zuo Daotian was meeting guests and wanted to retreat.
"Brother Shentu, please come in" Zuo Xuantian saw Shentu Qiu at the door, and hurriedly shouted.
After Shen Tuqiu entered the door, he hurriedly said politely: "Shen Tuqiu has seen Brother Zuo"
"Brother Shentu, are your injuries better?" Zuo Xuantian said with concern.
"It's all skin injuries, it's almost better, thank you Brother Zuo for your concern!" said Shen Tuqiu.
Zuo Zhutian said to Yuwen Songxian: "Let me introduce, this is the eldest apprentice of the head of the Huangshan faction, Brother Shentu."
"Sharpening the knife to help the head of Yangzhou, Yuwen Song first, I have seen Shentu Hero" Yuwen Song said first.
"Polite, polite, Huangshan sent disciple Shen Tuqiu, I have seen Yuwen Daxia, I have seen two heroes" Na Shen Tuqiu said respectfully to Yuwen Songxian, Yi Dan and Youming.
"I heard that Shentu Daxia has been helping the Bohai Sea to fight against the Khitan in the north, Yuwen is so admired, and it is an honor to finally see the true face today," Yuwen Song said first.
"Polite, polite. The elder of the Sharpening Knife Gang, Yuwen Daxia, has already heard of it in the next place, and when I see it today, it is worthy of the name," Nashen Tuqiu replied.
As he spoke, Shen Tuqiu looked at Yi Dan and Youming and asked, "May I ask who these two are?"
"This is Miss Yi Dan, this is her junior brother, Youming, they are all friends of my Knife Sharpening Gang," Yuwen Song introduced first.
"I see, Shen Tuqiu has seen two heroes," Shen Tuqiu said politely.
Yi Dan returned the salute: "Shentu hero, don't be polite." I heard that the Bohai Great Virtue Sect was also a martial arts decent person who resisted the Khitan, and the Shentu heroes have been in Bohai for so many years, I don't know if I can have any dealings with them?"
Shen Tuqiu heard Yi Dan's words, rolled his eyes, and laughed: "The girl is just out of the rivers and lakes, right? Do you know that this great virtue sect did help Bohai to resist the Khitans at the beginning, but later it went astray and became a cult of the rivers and lakes, and everyone in the righteous path of martial arts was punished. In Xia Bucai, he once killed the two protectors of the Dade Sect, and made a small contribution to the Huangshan faction" After that, Nashen Tuqiu proudly held his head high.
"Does Shentu Daxia know why this Great Virtue Sect has gone astray?" Yi Dan asked.
"It's just because of them...""Okay, Brother Shentu, let's get down to business, may I ask about Song Hui's situation, what's going on now?"
"Oh, Brother Song is too seriously injured, and he is still in a coma, I'm afraid he won't wake up for a while. Nashen Tuqiu said.
"Brother Shentu, can you tell Brother Yuwen about the situation that day?"
"Yes. On that day, Song Hui and I complied with the agreement, packed our things, and set off at the right time. Before that, passing through Jixi Mountain, more than a dozen black-clothed and masked people were suddenly killed from the mountain. The opponent's martial arts were too strong, and we couldn't resist it. They watched as they snatched the things from the carriage," Shen Tuqiu recalled.
"Then do you see who the other party is?" Yu Wensong asked first.
"The other party is all masked, and I can't see who it is. However, before Song Hui fainted, he took the man's palm. As if to say something 'Shaolin Temple', he still held these two beads in his hands, as well as the cloth torn from the man in black. Please take a look," Shen Tuqiu handed the beads and rags to Zuo Zhuotian.
Zuo Huatian took the beads, looked at them carefully, and said, "Bodhizi, that's right, it's indeed a monk's thing. ”
"At that time, Song Hui and I were facing the men in black separately, and we didn't notice what was happening on his side. All this has to wait for Senior Brother Song to wake up, and then we can ask to understand," Shen Tuqiu said.
"He's been in a coma for a few days, and he hasn't woken up yet. I think I'm afraid that there will be more evil and less luck. Hmph, it's really hateful, robbing my things, and killing my people. No matter who did it, after finding out, I must give him some color to see in order to dispel the hatred in my heart. Zuo Daotian said angrily.
At this time, Yi Dan on the side asked, "May I ask Shentu Daxia, where is that Song Daxia now?"
"Oh, he's still lying in bed, and he hasn't woken up yet," Shen Tuqiu replied.
"Can you please take me to see it?" Yi Dan asked.
"No problem, please come with me."
Shen Tuqiu took Yi Dan and a few people to Song Hui's room. I saw a man in his early twenties, but with a pale face, lying quietly on the bed.
Yi Dan walked to Song Hui's bedside, opened Song Hui's two eyelids and looked at them, and said, "Song Daxia was injured internally, but fortunately he was not poisoned."
With that, Yi Dan took out a small dark red bottle from his arms.
"What is this?" asked Zuo Xuantian.
"This is the 'Cordyceps Jiuzhen Dan', which specializes in treating all kinds of internal and external injuries, which should help Song Daxia's injury," Yi Dan said.
"Isn't the 'Cordyceps Nine Zhen Pill' the healing elixir of the Dangshan Cultivation Sect, girl, how can you have it?" asked Zuo Xuantian.
"Don't hide it from Zuo Daxia, the master below is none other than Li Xian, a disciple of the Mountain Cultivation Sect back then. Yi Dan said.
"Oh, no wonder, it turned out to be a master disciple of Lixian Hero, Zuo was disrespectful and disrespectful" Zuo Daotian bowed his hand to salute.
"Zuo Daxia doesn't have to be polite. This medicine has an excellent effect on external and internal injuries, and Brother Ouyang, who was in the Knife Grinding Gang, was seriously injured, and it was with this 'Cordyceps Jiuzhen Pill' that he was cured," Yi Dan said confidently.
Zuo Zhutian heard Yi Dan's words, and hurriedly patted his thigh, and said, "Could it be that girl, you are the Yi Dan girl mentioned in the letter of the Ouyang Gang leader of the Knife Sharpening Gang?"
"Back to the left hero, the little woman is Yi Dan" Yi Dan poured out the Cordyceps Jiuzhen Pill and replied.
Zuo Huatian patted his head again and said: "Oh, I've been so anxious these days that I almost forgot about it, when you came just now, I introduced myself, but I didn't react, it's really rude."
Yi Dan fed the Cordyceps Nine Zhen Pill to the unconscious Song Hui and ate it. Then he turned around and whispered to Zuo Xuantian: "Zuo Daxia is polite." The disciples have already eaten the 'Cordyceps Nine Zhen Pill', and if the pulse of the heart is not broken, I believe that he will wake up soon."
Not long ago, I received a letter from the leader of the Knife Sharpening Gang, Ouyang Gang, saying that there would be a woman surnamed Yi visiting the company, but I didn't expect it to be you, girl," Zuo said.
"Back to the left, it is under the left. The name of the heroine is really not true. Yi Dan said politely.
"I have a deep friendship with Ouyang Gang Leader. The things that Ouyang Gang Leader had explained should have been taken to heart. However, when I encountered such a big thing this time, I didn't greet him well, and I hope to forgive my sins!" said Zuo Xuantian apologetically.
"Zuo Daxia, don't say that, I hope you forgive me for taking the liberty of disturbing you. But the top priority, let's find a way to find out the truth of the matter first," Yi Dan said.
"That's right, Zuo Daxia, let's think about it first, how to deal with the next thing, right?" Youming also echoed.
"Hey, now that the clues are all broken, everything can only wait for Song Hui to wake up, and then we will know the answer," Zuo Xuantian sighed.
At this time, a disciple escorted by SF came in and reported urgently: "Master Qiqi, Master Tianning of Qiyun Temple is asking to see you outside the door"
"What should come must be faced. Let's go, let's go and meet Master Tianning together."
After that, Zuo Xuantian led everyone to the gate of the escort.
Yi Dan and Youming stood at the back, and saw several kind-hearted old monks standing at the door, their hands folded, determined to the front, and silent.
After seeing Zuo Daotian, one of the old monks stepped forward, folded his hands and asked, "Amitabha, the poor monk is late, may I ask Zuo Daxia, what is going on? Why didn't the relics arrive as scheduled?" the old monk asked.
"Master Tianning, this matter is a long story, please come in and talk about it in detail" Zuo Xuantian led everyone to the inner hall.
"Quick, go make a few pots of tea for a few masters," Zuo Xuantian instructed his disciples.
Zuo Tiandao pointed to Yuwen Songxian and said to Master Tianning: "Master Tianning, this is Yuwen Songxian, the head of Yangzhou of the Knife Grinding Gang, and I specially invited him to discuss this matter."
Master Tianning folded his hands and said: "Amitabha, the name of Yuwen Benefactor is all over the Jiangdu, and poor monks have often heard of it in Changzhou."
"Master Tianning has won the award, and he just did his part in Yangzhou. However, in the next morning, I heard that the master of Tianning of Qiyun Temple was taught by Shaolin. Descending the dragon and subduing the tiger fist, it is also the mighty Jiangdong martial arts, when I see it today, it is really old and strong, not losing the youth, Yuwen someone admires, admires" Yuwen Song praised first.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the poor monk practices one and a half moves, just to strengthen his body. For those who practice, the most important thing is to practice the coma," Master Tianning said.
Zuo Xuantian pointed at Yi Dan and Youming, and introduced them to several masters: "These two are both high-ranking disciples of the Dangshan Cultivation Sect, and they are also friends of Yuwen's palm, and the Ouyang Gang Leader of the Knife Grinding Gang."
"Junior Yi Dan, I have seen Master Tianning, and all the masters," Yi Dan smiled.
Zuo Zhutian pointed to Shen Tuqiu and introduced: "This is Shen Tuqiu, the eldest apprentice of the ancient Daoist of the Huangshan Sect, and the helper I borrowed from the ancient Daoist to escort the relics before."
"Shen Tuqiu has seen several masters"
"Well, these two are my senior brothers, Master Tianyuan and Master Tianjue," Master Tianning said.
The two masters of Tianyuan and Tianjue also clasped their hands together and saluted everyone.
After a few pleasantries, Master Tianning couldn't wait to ask: "Master Zuo, as you said in your letter, there was a little problem with the escort of the relics, and the three of my senior brothers couldn't bear it and rushed to Shezhou immediately. What is the problem? Where are the relics enshrined now, please please tell me?"
Zuo Xuantian thought about it, shook his head, and said stubbornly: "Masters, I can't help you. Here's the thing, on the sixth day of the first month of August, I received a distress letter from the head of the Hexi faction in Liangzhou, calling for help. It was said that the Dade Sect besieged the Hexi faction, and let Zai rush to Liangzhou to help. Zai Xia and Hu Yanbei are sworn brothers, and they can't bear to see the Hexi faction trapped, so they decide to go to the rescue. Before leaving, I handed over the task of escorting the relics to my eldest apprentice Song Hui. He also specially invited the elder brother Shentu of the Huangshan faction to come to help" Speaking of this, Zuo Xuantian turned his head and said to Shentu Qiu embarrassedly: "Brother Shentu, you know the rest of the matter best, so you can tell a few masters."
Shen Tuqiu took Zuo Daotian's words and continued: "Okay. Song Hui and I, as well as the escort disciples, set off to escort on the eighth day of the eighth month of the eighth month of the eighth month according to the date agreed between Brother Zuo and Master Tianning. Before the time, when I arrived in Jixi, I was suddenly attacked by more than a dozen martial arts masters, and Song Hui and I were both injured..."
"What about the relics?" asked Master Tianning anxiously.
At this time, Yi Dan and Yuwen Songxian both turned their heads and looked at Master Tianning's face. Only then did Master Tianning come to his senses and said with concern: "Oh, are you seriously injured?
"I'm fine, just a few skin injuries. But Song Hui suffered serious internal injuries and is still in a coma," Shen Tuqiu said.
At this time, the disciple served the tea. Master Tianning didn't care about drinking tea, put the tea aside, and asked anxiously: "May I ask Lord Shentu, where are the relics enshrined now?"
Shen Tuqiu didn't know how to answer, and turned his head to look at Zuo Daotian. Zuo Tietian closed his eyes lightly and nodded slightly. Shen Tuqiu got the reply and hurriedly said: "Hey, after those black-clothed people injured me and Song Hui, they snatched the iron letter from the car."
Hearing this, Master Tianning was shocked, suddenly stood up from the stool, and asked with a surprised expression, "What?
"If the next sentence is true, if the master doesn't believe it, you can ask the other disciples who are escorted," Shen Tuqiu replied.
"Hey, how is this good, how is it good," Master Tianning said anxiously.
At this time, the Tianjue Master on the side asked, "May I ask if the donor has you seen clearly, who snatched the iron letter?"
"At that time, they were all dressed in black and masked, and they couldn't even recognize who did it," Shen Tuqiu said.
"How can this be good? If such an important thing is lost, how should the poor monk explain to Qiyun Temple?" Master Tianning said urgently.
"Master don't worry, it seems that Song Hui knows some clues. However, he is still in a coma and has not woken up. That's how the whole thing went," Shen Tuqiu said.
"Hey, how can this be? This relic can't be lost, if it is lost, the poor monk's sin will be great. If there is anything wrong with the relics, it will be difficult for the monks of Qiyun Temple to die and it will be difficult to atone for their sins" Speaking of this, Master Ning couldn't stop shaking his head and sighing.
"Master Tianning attaches so much importance to this relic, may I ask which monk's spiritual bone it is? Could it not be that Master Xuanzang?" asked Zuo Xuanzang suspiciously.
"Hey, no, it's neither... It's not a monk's. Master Tianning shook his head in denial.
"The relics are the spiritual bones of the high monks, and if they are not the high monks, then who else will they be?" Yu Wen Song on the side asked curiously.
That Tiantian Master Ning had a sad face, folded his hands, and said with a long sigh: "Hey... This relic is the true spiritual bone of my Buddha Shakyamuni..."
