Chapter 21: The Old Man of Mingjiao

On this day, Ding Yu was tired of eating the fast food in Shaolin Temple, so he went to the town restaurant at the foot of the mountain to order a large table of wine and food, and made up for the regret of not eating meat for many days. Out of the restaurant, he was about to stroll around casually, browsing the scenery at the foot of Shaomuro Mountain, but saw a flame sign painted at the door of the restaurant, which meant that the disciples of the Ming Sect asked for contact.

Ding Yu followed the direction and came to the outside of the town, only to see a man in green clothes and hats on the side of the road making a flaming gesture at him from a distance, and then turned around and entered the woods by the roadside. Ding Yu saw that there was no one around, so he chased after him.

The man in the hat is very skillful, and the complex environment in the woods seems to have no effect on him, and the distance between the toes is often a few feet. However, for Ding Yu, it was really not too difficult to catch up with this speed, but he also wanted to observe more of the person's body, so he followed behind without delay.

The two of them ran for several miles of mountain roads one after the other, and the man with the hat had already been at full speed, but he had never been able to distance himself from Ding Yu, and he also realized that Ding Yu's light skills were much stronger than himself, so he stopped his steps at the moment, turned around, uncovered the hat with one hand, and said: "Dragon Elephant King, don't come to harm?"

I saw that this person was about forty years old, dressed in a cyan scholar's robe, with a handsome and elegant appearance, and three long whiskers under his chin swaying in the wind, but it was a pity that the slightly rapid breathing somewhat ruined the overall demeanor.

Ding Yu shook his head and scolded with a smile: "Lao Huo! You are a sour showman, you just like to make trouble with these mysteries!" It turns out that this person is not another person, it is the head of the five scattered people of the Ming Sect back then, the Confucian Huo Wuxie.

Huo Wuxian also smiled and said: "For the sake of prudence, I have to do it as a last resort." Please forgive the Dragon Elephant King. I haven't seen him for many years, and the light skills of the Dragon Elephant King are no longer what they used to be. ”

These words immediately evoked some unpleasant memories of Ding Yu: Back then, in Kunlun Mountain, he was the most depressed when he started with Huo Wuxie. This guy is far better than Ding Yu in his light work. Never confronted him head-on, every time he kept circling him, attacking his laughing holes and numbness when he had the opportunity. At that time, Ding Yu's Vajra Demon Suppression Divine Power was not deep enough, and his ability to move his muscles and bones had not yet been practiced to do whatever he wanted, and he was often hit by the acupoint, laughing in place, and his laughter was echoing on the entire top of the light.

At that time, Ding Yu had only one thought in his heart. In the future, when the light merit is high, he will definitely tie this thief Xiucai to someone's funeral, and point his itching and laughing holes. Let him laugh there and be beaten to death by the crowd at the same time, so that he can get out of this evil breath in his chest!

Thinking of this, Ding Yu looked up and down Huo Wuxian with ill-intentioned eyes, thinking about which big family in the vicinity was doing white things.

Huo Wuxian only felt an inexplicable chill pass through his heart. I shuddered involuntarily. Busy with his thoughts, Zhengse said: "Great monk, I am here to express my gratitude. Tianxin is an important disciple in my sect, and thanks to your help, he can be safe and sound. Alas, this assassination of Zhang Gang was planned by Xia, ...... unexpectedly"

When Ding Yu saw him talk about it, he also let go of the idea of joking. Puzzled: "Tianxin and Zheng Kuan have both told me about the assassination, and it shouldn't sound flawless." Why was he ambushed by Zhang Gang instead? Also, Zhang Gang's reaction afterwards was too fast and accurate, which is not like guessing. ”

Huo Wuxian subconsciously clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "I have some guesses about this matter, but there is no conclusive evidence, so it is inconvenient to say it. But when I find out the truth, if it is as I expected, I will make those people pay!"

It sounded like there was a lot of inside story behind this matter, and what Ding Yu was most annoyed about was these conspiracies, black hands and the like, but he didn't want to involve himself indiscriminately, so he nodded and didn't speak again.

Huo Wuxian slowed down, and didn't mention the matter again, and said: "I heard that the great monk you will not die in a catastrophe and return to the rivers and lakes, our old brothers on the top of the light are very happy, if you are fine, it is better to return to Kunlun Mountain with me, and everyone can talk about the old feelings." ”

Ding Yu heard him talk about "Kunlun Mountain", and remembered that he wanted to find the companion spirit in the dragon vein, so it was a good way, and now that Jiuyang has started, it is almost the same as Jueyuan's Taoism, and it is not necessary to stay in Shaolin Temple anymore, so he agreed and asked casually: "Our Mingjiao has a clever feng shui master?"

Huo Wuxian looked at him with a strange expression, and said, "Great monk, you shouldn't be thinking about what happened after death, right? As a monk, even if you are buried in the feng shui dragon's lair, who can you bless and shade to whom? Could it be that you broke the color ring and gave birth to a little monk......

Ding Yu said angrily: "Where is all this nonsense! You can say yes or no!"

Huo Wuxian spread his hands and said: "Fortune telling and feng shui, this is the business of Lao Hu and Lao Ma, you can't go wrong with them." ”

Lao Hu, whose real name is unknown, is a native of Qingsong Dao, and Lao Ma, who is known as Lun, has no Dao number. These two people are among the five scattered people, and they were also "boxing friends" who were beaten by Ding Yu twice in three days. Therefore, when Ding Yu heard the great joy, he immediately made an appointment with Huo Wuxie to meet at the chariot and horse post north of Shaomu Mountain tomorrow morning, and then return to Mingjiao together.

Back in Shaolin, after Ding Yu packed his bags, he said goodbye to the monks, saying that he would continue to travel, and the monks said that they would stay one after another, but only Jueyuan was the most sincere. Over the years, he has finally found a Buddhist friend who can sit with him and talk about the Tao, but he didn't expect to be separated in just a short time, and it is really difficult to give up. But whether it was true or not, Ding Yu finally left the Shaolin Temple before dawn on the second day and embarked on the northbound journey.

Ding Yu and Huo Wuxian walked all the way, chatting about the changes in Mingjiao over the years.

Since Qiu Qianren joined the Ming Sect, the sect leader Fang Qingyu immediately respected him as the first protector of the Dharma King, and soon after he worshiped under him and became Qiu Qianren's disciple. Qiu Qianren was grateful, not only taught him what he had learned all his life, but also spared no effort to guide all the high-level leaders of Mingjiao, with his vision and martial arts attainments, coupled with Mingjiao's collection of martial arts cheats for many years, it didn't take a few years to greatly increase Mingjiao's martial arts value. The original Five Elements Banner Envoy and the Five Scattered People have all risen from second-rate masters to first-class realms.

In addition, because the Western Regions, Western Xia and Jin were destroyed by the Mongols successively, and Tubo was saved from war because of its surrender, a large number of refugees fled into Tibet through the Kunlun Mountains, and were developed into sectarians by the Ming Sect, so the Ming Sect was several times stronger than when Ding Yu left, both in force and power.

Unfortunately, the original two elders passed away a few years ago. Fang Qingyu did not promote the second envoy of light from the original Five Elements Banner Envoy or the Five Scattered People, but directly promoted his two junior disciples - the young disciples who worshiped Qiu Qianren with him, Li Qinghai and Wang Chengbo, should now be called Li Xiao and Wang Yao. However, these two people are indeed outstanding, and in more than ten years, they have changed from a blank sheet of paper to a first-class powerhouse, so although the old brothers in the sect have some complaints, they are not too unconvinced.

Then there is the deputy head Fang Qinghua. Ten years ago, she married an apologist, the White Elephant King Yan Wu. This person was born in the Giant Elephant Gate in Hebei, and his six-tusked white elephant skills are unfathomable. After the Jin Kingdom was destroyed by the Mongols, the Giant Elephant Gate was also wiped out because of the resistance to Mongolia, and only Yan Wu escaped because of the competition with others outside. Later, he fled to Tibet, where he was valued by the eyes of the Ming Sect, so he introduced the Ming Sect and became the Protector of the Dharma.

Yan Wu was destroyed by the Mongols because of his family and country, so he never forgot to resist the Mongols, and often led the children of the Ming Sect to fight against the Mongol army. Later, he infiltrated the Mongolian army camp and assassinated the traitor Zhang Gang, but unfortunately he was killed in failure, and his body was still hung in the barracks for public display. After the news was transmitted back to Mingjiao, Fang Qinghua swore that he would kill Zhang Gang to avenge his husband. Tianxin's assassination of Zhang Gang this time was initiated by Fang Qinghua, and Huo Wuxian was responsible for planning and liaison. originally thought that if he activated the high-level secret son of Tianxin, he would definitely be able to take revenge, but he didn't know that he still fell short.

After hearing this, Ding Yu paused and said, "I once received the grace of Deputy Sect Leader Fang and gave me a spirit rhino bead, which has saved my life several times over the years. Since Deputy Sect Leader Fang has something to do, the poor monk cannot be excused. I'm going to bring that Zhang Gang's head to her, and then I'll go back to the light to see her. ”

Huo Wuxian said happily: "Good monk! Huo Mou really didn't misunderstand you! However, this matter is not in a hurry. Now that Zhang Gang has returned to the barracks, there are so many masters in the Mongolian camp that it is difficult to assassinate him. Allow me to mobilize the congregation to inquire about the news and see when there is an opportunity. ”

Ding Yu thought about it, and this statement was reasonable. Previously, he infiltrated the Mongol military camp, and even ordinary high-ranking generals could not successfully assassinate him, let alone Zhang Gang, the head horse of Kublai Khan. He couldn't help but regret for a while, he was in Dengzhou before, and that Zhang Gang might not have returned to the camp yet, but this great opportunity was missed.

Huo Wuxian seemed to see his thoughts, and comforted: "There is no need to be anxious, I have already found out that the Mongolian army has been fighting unfavorably in recent days, and Kublai Khan has plans to temporarily withdraw from the army." The Tartar prince is scheming, and he will inevitably make full arrangements at the same time as retreating, or install spies, or suppress the surrounding martial arts factions, not only to ensure his retreat, but also to pave the way for the next invasion of the Song Dynasty. If this is the case, he will definitely send Zhang Gang out of the camp, and then it will be the time for me to make a move. We might as well divert to Nanyang, which is closer to the war zone, and if news comes, we can react immediately. ”

Ding Yu was about to agree, but suddenly reacted and asked, "Lao Huo, you are confident, can't it be that you have been calculating the monk me a long time ago?"

Huo Wuxian smiled and confessed: "Yes, the Dragon Elephant King is impassioned and has clear grievances, I have calculated this weight, so I have made a preliminary plan to assassinate you again before I come to see you, and now that you have seen through it, I don't know if you will be tricked?"

Ding Yu snorted angrily and said, "That's why I hate dealing with readers the most, and I have as many eyes as honeycombs." But this time you have to be careful, if there is another matter of Tianxin, no matter who made the secret hand, all the insiders have killed it one by one, and the bad people behind the scenes will naturally not be able to escape. ”

Huo Wuxian said awe-inspiringly: "That's natural, this time I have to be on guard, if the news leaks again, if you don't take action, the great monk, I myself will have no shame to live in the world." (To be continued.) )
