One hundred and fourteen Western Regions Huatoutuo
traveled all the way, and the remaining less than four hundred miles, Wu Zheng only took two and a half days to arrive in the capital.
Wu Zheng, who entered Beijing for the first time, inquired from passers-by and learned that Woyun Temple was not in the city, but at the foot of Wangshan Mountain in the western suburbs of Beijing. I didn't care about the tiredness, and I drove more than 20 miles before I saw a mountain peak in the twilight that was not high, but the scenery was beautiful and the vegetation was dense. At the foot of the mountain, a stream meanders from west to east, by the mountain and the water, under the sparse shadow and horizontal slope, the red wall and tiles can be vaguely seen in it.
Wait to get closer and look again, sit on the top of the tall dark red mountain gate facing south in the north, and the plaque is engraved with three gilded characters of "Woyun Temple".
It was the evening class, and the solemn and solemn sound of Sanskrit singing came out in the temple, and when I was in it, I suddenly felt a sense of detachment from the world.
Slowly entering the unattended mountain gate, there is a three-legged copper tripod incense burner with a height of one person, and green smoke is rising in the incense burner. Behind it is a magnificent hall of the Great Majesty, from which the sound of smuted Sanskrit singing is coming.
Wu Zheng was not good at entering to disturb the monks in the temple who were doing evening classes, so he bypassed the Daxiong Hall and came to the backyard of Woyun Temple.
Standing in the courtyard planted with ancient cypresses, I saw a row of neat monks' houses under the wall of the north courtyard of the temple. In the twilight, only the second room at the east end had a light flickering, and just as he was about to raise his feet and walk over to inquire, an old but very peaceful voice came from inside, which went straight to Wu Zheng's ears.
"Donor, please come in, the old man has been waiting for a long time. ”
Knowing that he would come, unless Wu Gan and his accomplices, Wu Zheng couldn't help but be alert, and the true qi in his body naturally ran slowly in the meridians, and the whole person had entered a state of high alert.
"Junior Wu Zheng, meet the master. ”
Wu Zheng walked in with his feet raised, stood on his chest with one palm, followed the example of a person in Buddhism, and bowed to the old monk who was sitting on a futon on the east side of the room, with three strands of white beard and even two white eyebrows, but in good spirits.
"The donor doesn't need to be polite, the person who comes is a guest, please forgive the old man for being physically inconvenient and unable to get up to return the courtesy. ”
After speaking, the old monk pointed to the futon opposite and motioned for Wu Zheng to sit down and speak.
"The juniors haven't consulted the master yet. ”
"The old man's name is Xingyun. Master Wu, please sit down and speak. ”
After sitting down, without waiting for Wu Zheng to ask, Master Xingyun had already said straight to the point:
"The donor's intention to come here has already been known, and there is no need to worry about the safety of the three female donors, who are on their way at this time. If nothing else, he will appear in front of the donor early tomorrow morning. ”
"The juniors have something unclear, and they still need to consult Master Xingyun. ”
"Hehe, does the donor want to know the relationship between Lao Wei and Wu Gan?"
"Exactly, I hope the master will make it clear. ”
"Presumably the donor has heard of the 'Western Regions Huatoutuo', it is the old man. ”
Hearing this, Wu Zhengteng stood up from the futon.
How is this possible? The great monk in front of him looks kind-eyed, how can there be such a name in the martial arts, which is easy to make people associate when he hears it?
"Hehe, don't be surprised, but anyone who meets the old man for the first time has a similar reaction. You may be seated, you may be seated. ”
After Wu Zheng slowly sat down again, Master Xingyun, or Huatoutuo of the Western Regions, spoke again:
"Wu Gan is Lao Qu's disciple. ”
This Wu Zheng had already guessed it and was not surprised. It's just that he still wants to know what the relationship between Zhen Yuer and Wu Gan is, whether it is a master and apprentice, or a brother and sister?
Last time in the suburbs of Shuntian City, when he was intercepted by Wu Gan and Liu Shiqing, Liu Shiqing once said the words "you master and apprentice", is Zhen Yuer really Huatoutuo's apprentice?
"What about Miss Zhen Yu'er?"
"Hehe, it's a closed disciple of Lao Gao. It's just that there are very few people in the martial arts who know about this, and they all think that Yu'er is Wu Gan's disciple. ”
Wu Zheng nodded, and then got to the point.
"I don't know what the master intends to arrange for his disciple Wu Gan to follow the younger generations all the time, and take advantage of the unpreparedness of the three female dependents to hold them hostage?"
"The donor misunderstood. ”
Speaking of which, Wu Zheng saw for the first time that the great monk did not have his usual peaceful expression on his face, but showed a trace of helplessness.
"What Wu Gan has done in recent years is not at the behest of his old man. ”
This made Wu Zheng a little unbelievable, if it was really as the great monk said, then why did Wu Gan have to take Tie Ning and the three of them hostage to Woyun Temple?
"It's not a secret, three years ago, Lao Wei had already been plotted by Wu Gan, donor, please see. ”
As he spoke, the great monk lifted the robe that hung down and covered his legs.
What he saw in front of him suddenly stunned Wu Zheng. No wonder when he came in just now, the big monk said that it was "inconvenient to get up and return the salute", and it turned out that this person's pair of calves from below the knee had long since disappeared.
"...... this?"
"Alas, it's all because Lao Wei had no eyes back then, and he mistakenly accepted Wu Gan, a criminal, which led to this point. ”
The more he listened to Huatoutuo in the Western Regions, the more frightened Wu Zheng became.
"The reason why Lao Ke was named 'Huatoutuo in the Western Regions' by the people in the rivers and lakes is only because Lao Ge was born in Qiuzi in the Western Regions, and Lao Ke's common family surname is Hua, and he likes to travel since he was a child, so he has this name that makes people easily misunderstood. ”
"Why did Wu Gan treat the master like this?"
"It's a long story, thirty years ago, Lao Gu was unfortunately seriously injured due to a fight with others, and when he was dying, he was met by Wu Gan, who seemed to be passing by unintentionally. So he carried the old man to a prosperous place, extended the doctor to ask for medicine, and under his careful care, the old man's body gradually recovered. It's just a body of cultivation that has been scrapped. ”
"Could it be that Wu Gan didn't have a coincidence, but a premeditated plan?"
"Yes, the person who seriously injured the old man is a pair of villains who are famous in the martial arts - deaf and dumb. It wasn't until three years ago, after Wu Gan's sudden plot, that Lao Qu finally understood. At that time, Wu Gan had already fallen under the deaf and dumb door, on the surface, it seemed that he was trying to get the secret weapon kung fu that Lao Qu coveted in the martial arts, but secretly he wanted to get the clues about 'Sinan Che' in Lao Qu's hands. So he deliberately arranged the fight thirty years ago, so that Wu Gan had a chance to get close to Lao Qu. ”
The secret weapon technique of Huatoutuo in the Western Regions, in Liufu in Shuntian City, Wu Zheng had seen Zhen Yuer perform it once, and it was precisely that time, from Liu Shiqing's mouth, that Wu Zheng heard the name "Huatoutuo in the Western Regions" for the first time.
What puzzled Wu Zheng was the 'Sinan car' in Huatoutuo's mouth.
Of course, Sinan Che Wu Zheng knows that even if he has not seen the real thing, he has seen many descriptions from the classics: although the car is returned, it is often guided.
It means that even if the Sinan car rotates 360 degrees, the villain above always points to the south. Therefore, it has the function of indicating the direction, and it is named "Sinan car".
"Master, the younger generation is unknown. Although Sinanche is precious, it is only a positioning tool, why can it be coveted by the deaf and dumb, and he does not hesitate to fight with the master, and then let Wu Gan take this opportunity to get close to the master?"
