Chapter 16: The Mingjiao Assassins
Ding Yu was one of the guardian kings of Mingjiao, Fang Qingyu reached out to help him when he was weakest, and the spirit rhino beads given by Fang Qinghua did not know how many times he had saved his life.
He went up and knocked on the door, and in a moment someone asked, "Who knocked?"
Ding Yu replied: "Heavenly people, come to put out the fire." This sentence is the incision of Mingjiao: the heavenly people represent that the people who come are the protectors of the Dharma, and to put out the fire is to save the disciples of the holy fire.
There was a whisper of surprise in the room, a middle-aged man who looked like a craftsman opened the door, and when he saw Ding Yu, his face was full of joy and immediately turned into vigilance, and he asked, "Who is in the sky?"
"The Great Dragon Elephant King. ”
The man was noncommittal, dodged and let Ding Yu into the house, silently closed the door, and as soon as the bolt was lowered, he took out a dagger from his arms like lightning and stabbed Ding Yu in the back of the head. Unexpectedly, before the dagger was handed out a few inches, he felt that his wrist was tight, and he had been caught by the person who had come to the pulse, and the whole person pulled it over, and his arm was cut behind his back, and he couldn't move at all. He thought that he would die this time, so he simply went out and scolded: "The thief and traitor who deserves to be dug up the grave of his ancestors! The lackey of the Tartar ......" Before he could scold for two sentences, the dumb hole was pointed again.
Ding Yu already had a faint premonition before he came, after all, he had disappeared for twenty years, and there were not necessarily many people in the Ming Sect who knew him, not to mention that he looked like he was only in his twenties now, so it was even more difficult to explain. Fortunately, a savior came at this time.
Zheng Kuan was originally taking care of the wounded in the room. When he heard someone knocking on the door outside, he immediately took his sword in his hand and stuck it behind the door to listen to the movement. When he heard Lao Zhou's scolding stop abruptly, he only said that this time he must have come to the master, looking at the wounded on the bed like gold paper, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and prepare to fight hard. However, when he rushed out of the door and saw the faces of the visitors, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Great Dragon Elephant King?" He found that although the monk's face was exactly the same as that of the Great Dragon Elephant King Ding Yu, he was not yet thirty years old, so he asked cautiously, "Your Excellency is the descendant of the Great Dragon Elephant King?"
Ding Yu saw Zheng Kuan. Immediately relieved. When he was in Mingjiao, in order to make up enough "monthly supply" for the soul seed, he used training at the head of three days to learn from the disciples in the sect. Every time you do it, everyone will be injured. The light ones were bruised, and the heavy ones were fractured, and later they actually cultivated a group of second-rate masters who dared to fight for Mingjiao, and Zheng Kuan in front of him was one of them.
Ding Yu smiled at Zheng Kuan and said: "I am a monk, how can I come from a descendant? Lao Zheng, you have forgotten me for only 20 years, it seems that I was still too light back then!"
Zheng Kuan was pleasantly surprised, and said: "It's really the Great Dragon Elephant King, when you suddenly disappeared, we all thought you were ......."
"Already dead?" Ding Yu laughed self-deprecatingly. said: "It's almost the same, I was plotted by the enemy back then. Seriously wounded, he fled incognito to the outside world, and only recently returned to the Central Plains. I happened to see a distress signal in the church, so I rushed over. By the way, when I was ambushed, Qiu Qianren was also implicated, how is he now?"
After Qiu Qianren was secretly escaped by Ouyang Feng and others, he defected to Mingjiao, many people in Mingjiao knew about this, but they knew that he was related to Ding Yu and was limited to the altar master, Zheng Kuan heard Ding Yu say this, no longer doubted, and hurriedly saluted Ding Yu, and replied: "Senior Qiu is now the first protector of the sect, or the master of the sect master, and many disciples in our sect have also been instructed by him. ”
Ding Yu nodded, let go of Lao Zhou in his hand, and solved the acupoint for him. Lao Zhou's acupoint was explained, and he immediately bowed to the ground, and asked for sin: "The subordinates are disrespectful to the Fa King, please punish the Fa King!"
Ding Yu waved his hand and said: "It's okay, those who don't know are not guilty! And don't make these false texts, hurry up and tell me what happened here, and who is in trouble in the sect?"
Zheng Kuan agreed, instructed Lao Zhou to continue to guard the door, and he took Ding Yu into the back room himself, and then explained to him in detail.
It turned out that the root cause of this matter was in a Jin Guohan named Zhang Gang. Zhang Gang was originally a military general of the Jin State, and when the Mengjin were fighting, he surrendered to the Mongolian army after being captured, and then immediately turned the gun and spared no effort to help the Mongolian army attack the Jin State. When the Jin State was destroyed, Zhang Gang was made the commander of ten thousand masters and became the first Han general in the Mongolian army. Now the Mongol and Song wars, Zhang Gang was sent to the front line, because the Song and Jin have been fighting for many years, he knows the depth of the Great Song Dynasty's troops, and several Great Song cities have been broken through, all of which have his credit, so he is deeply valued by Kublai Khan, as if he is the first person under his account.
Naturally, the Mongolian people are happy to use such traitors as a banner to shake the military morale of the Han people, and those who have a little blood among the Han people hate them to the core. Mingjiao once sent a master to infiltrate the military camp and wanted to assassinate Zhang Gang, but unfortunately he recruited a lot of master guards around him.
Not long ago, Zhang Gang's old father died of illness, and Kublai Khan authorized him to return from the front line to manage the funeral, and specially sent people to Songshan Shaolin to invite senior monks to preside over the supernatural ceremony for his father. The Shaolin Temple avoids this errand, especially dog dung.
It must be known that stepping on dog feces is only a few days of stinking; if it is contaminated with this incident, it will be left stinking for 10,000 years; but the mountain gates are all under the iron hooves of Mongolia, and they have to give in. In the midst of his troubles, suddenly a monk with the Dharma name Tianxin stood up and was willing to take on this matter.
Among the Shaolin monks, some people thought that Tianxin wanted to please the Mongolian people, so they despised him, and some people thought that he did not hesitate to tarnish his reputation for the sake of Shaolin's foundation, which was deeply admired. But no one knows, in fact, Tianxin and his eldest disciple Jueyong have always been the shadows of Mingjiao buried in Shaolin, and this time they went to preside over the ceremony, the purpose was to assassinate Zhang Gang!
Tianxin, with Jueyong and several other disciples, presided over the seven-day ritual for Zhang Gang's father in a proper manner, and then asked the monks to stay overnight for one night as usual, but Tianxin said that there were other things to do, so he set off for the return trip. That night, Tianxin and Jue Yong performed light skills, turned back to Zhang's mansion, and went separately to assassinate Zhang Gang and his son Zhang Hongfan.
But I don't know if the two fathers and sons were extra careful, or the Tianxin master and apprentice leaked the news, that night Zhang Gang's father and son's bed, it was not me who fell asleep, but two stand-ins with strong martial arts, who beat the Tianxin master and apprentice on the spot and escaped with serious injuries. Fortunately, the Dengzhou branch of the Ming Sect sent someone to answer and hid the two masters and apprentices.
It's a pity that Jueyong was seriously injured and died, Tianxin was unconscious, and the Mongolian people in the city were already searching for assassins everywhere, and they didn't know when they would find Lao Zhou's house. In desperation, Zheng Kuan, the owner of the altar, had to send someone to draw a distress sign in a conspicuous place in the city, but in fact, he didn't report much hope, just trying his luck, but he didn't expect to recruit a protector king. (To be continued.) )
