Chapter Ninety-Three: The Withered Leaf Mage
Zheng Zhicheng said: "Exactly, He Zhentian caused chaos in the rivers and lakes, causing the indignation of gods and people, and sooner or later one day it will be full of evil, and evil will be rewarded." Master Withered Leaves said: "Amitabha, good and good, all earthly things, there must be a cause and effect, and only when karma is retribution, can it appear that my Buddha is compassionate." People outside the old man's fang, don't ask about the affairs of the world, dare to ask if your sect is still harmonious and prosperous?" Zheng Zhicheng said: "Master Lao is worried, since the disappearance of the master in charge, he has dragged the senior brother to take charge of the affairs of the sect on his behalf, and the senior brothers are united as one, and the help is orderly, so He Zhentian did not dare to commit it for a while." The Withered Leaf Mage nodded. Zheng Zhicheng greeted him for a while, and finally said: "I can't hide it, Luo Gongzi and I came here this time to find two people, I don't know if the master has seen it." Master Withered Leaf let out an "oh" sound, glanced at Luo Xiao, and said, "Who are you looking for, but are you a disciple in my temple?" Zheng Zhicheng said: "Luo Gongzi chased him thousands of miles away, because the girl Yingying was captured by the tricky flower thief Jiangling Feng, and chased to Mount Tai, and disappeared, I don't know if there have been guests in your temple." Speaking of this, Luo Xiao suddenly heard the grass and trees outside the meditation room moving, this sound was very light, if it weren't for his profound skills, he was about to say: "There is someone outside the room!" Suddenly heard a sneering sound, a Buddha bead shot towards the outside of the room, there was really a person hiding outside the room, after hearing Zheng Zhicheng speak, he wanted to run away immediately, but the Buddha bead shot at the heel, the man stood unsteadily, staggered and fell, and hurriedly got up again, it was Jiangling Feng! Luo Xiao shouted: "Jiangling Feng, don't run, quickly hand over the warbler." "Chased it out quickly. Jiangling Feng saw that he was about to be caught by Luo Xiao in a blink of an eye, and suddenly he was short and lifted a person from the grass, but it was a warbler. The warbler was motionless, with a piece of green cloth stuffed in her mouth, and her body was straight, obviously being caught by the Jiangling wind. Jiang Lingfeng grabbed Yingying's waist with his left hand, took out a shining dagger with his right hand and put it across Yingying's neck, and shouted: "Luo Xiao, if you come over half a step further, don't blame my subordinates for being merciless, Yingying refuses to obey me, I can't get it, you don't want to get it." He laughed as he spoke, but there was bitterness in his laughter. Luo Xiao hurriedly said: "Okay, I won't go over, you be careful, don't hurt Yingying." Thinking in his heart: "How should I think of a way to save Yingying from him?" Jiang Lingfeng said: "If I want to let her go, it can't be easier, as long as you say that you don't love her anymore and kill yourself immediately, I will let her go, and I will treat her well." Luo Xiao suddenly felt upset, remembering that Yingying had agreed to Jianglingfeng's unreasonable request in order to save himself, just because Yingying loved him so much, so he didn't care about sacrificing himself. Now if you want to die to save Yingying, it is willing, and you will not give up, but after your death, Jiangling Feng may not let Yingying go as he said, Yingying still falls into his hands, and his death is not wrong......ful? I ......" I suddenly heard Master Withered Leaves' voice: "Amitabha, good, good." Tuk Tuk Tuk knocked on the wooden fish and said: "Master Jiang, the bitter sea is boundless, turning back is the shore, this warbler girl hates you, what is the use of you forcing her? It is better to put down the butcher knife and think about it for yourself, which is the right way." His voice was kind, and Jiangling Feng couldn't help but be moved when he heard it, and said: "The master doesn't know, I have countless flowers in Jiangling, but since I saw this Yingying girl, I have decided not to mess with flowers and grass everywhere, just to be able to stay with Yingying girl for life, if Yingying girl leaves me, I will die immediately, how to get rid of this, and I hope that the master will see me." Master Withered Leaves muttered the Buddhist scriptures, and said: "The donor has been in the beauty, thinking back to his life, what career has he had?" Jiangling Feng snorted: "I, I, I ......" but couldn't answer, his father is the lord of Guiyunzhuang, and sometimes he also thinks that when he grows up, he will be in charge of Guiyunzhuang like his father, and be a hegemon. But as soon as I saw the beautiful girl, my heart itched, and I couldn't stop if I had to get my hands on the joy of the rain, and all my ambitions and retributions were left behind, so although I was now twenty and four, I still achieved nothing. Master Withered Leaves said: "The Buddha has a cloud: "Color is emptiness, emptiness is color." "Master Jiang Shi is young and strong, why don't you do a career as soon as possible, and be worthy of your heart in the future?" Jiang Lingfeng listened, his heart was pounding, and he said to himself: "Yes, why don't you do a career as soon as possible, and you will be worthy of your heart in the future?" gradually let go of the hand holding Yingying, but suddenly grasped it again, and said to the withered leaf mage with a dagger: "You are deceiving people! You want to deceive me into letting go of Yingying, taking the Yingying girl away from my hands, and being a monk will talk nonsense and deceive people." Master Withered Leaves said: "Amitabha, the old man doesn't ask about the world, the six dusts are not clean, lie to you where the Jiang donor came from, the old man saw that the Jiang donor was obsessed, so he persuaded him." Jiang Lingfeng said: "If you lie, you must have teamed up with them to deceive me, and I will never be fooled by you." For fear of being moved by the old monk's words in the end, he turned his head to Luo Xiao and said: "Hurry up and cut it off yourself! I Jiangling Feng knows that I can't fight you, I can't say it, so I have to destroy the Yingying first, and then kill myself in front of you." As he spoke, he pressed the dagger tightly, sinking deep into the warbler's neck, and a bloody streak fell into her pink neck. Luo Xiao exclaimed: "You...... Don't mess around, I'll kill myself. He drew the sword from his waist and wiped it from his neck. Zheng Zhicheng shouted: "I can't help it!" leaned over and grabbed his hand, Luo Xiao closed his eyes, and said: "It's not that I want to kill myself, Luo Xiao can't protect Yingying with the body of a dignified man, only to save him with death, I just hope that he can change his mind and let Yingying go." When Master Withered Leaves heard this, he said loudly: "Amitabha, good and good. Suddenly, there was another snort, a Buddha bead shot at Jiang Lingfeng's right wrist like lightning, the Buddha bead came extremely fast, Jiang Lingfeng didn't see what it was, his hand was numb, and the dagger fell to the ground, but his wrist was dislocated. Jiangling Feng was shocked, knowing that the skill of this old monk was so high that it was unfathomable, and it was difficult to get out today, only with the warbler as the hostage, there was any hope of escaping, and hurriedly stretched out his left hand to grab the throat of the warbler, and there was a sneer, and a Buddha bead had hit his wrist again, and he was immediately dislocated. Master Withered Leaf reads, "Sin, sin. Luo Xiao was overjoyed, hurriedly walked over to help Yingying up, untied her acupoint, pulled out the green cloth in her mouth, and Yingying shouted: "Brother Luo!" Jiang Lingfeng looked at the two of them talking softly, angry and angry, his hands were broken, he was in pain, he didn't go, he didn't go, he was stunned.
Yingying cried for a while, walked to the withered leaf mage, Ying Ying bowed, and said: "The little girl is trapped by him, thank you master for saving me from the shackles, the little girl doesn't know how to repay it." Luo Xiao also knelt down and thanked the withered leaf mage. Master Withered Leaves hurriedly helped him up and said, "Saving people from danger is the purpose of my Buddha, but how can we talk about repayment?" Luo Xiao and Yingying stood up and said, "The master is merciful, which is admirable. ”
Zheng Zhicheng drew a knife in his hand and said: "This Jiangling wind is not shallow, I will kill it with a sword to avoid future troubles." The withered leaf mage stepped forward to stop him, and said: "No, although Master Jiang's sin is big, but the crime is not to death, let him go by himself, Luo Gongzi, what do you say?" Luo Xiao was grateful to him for saving Yingying, Yingying had been rescued, his heart was happy, and his hatred for Jiangling Feng was also reduced a lot, and he said: "But it is up to the master to deal with it." ”
Jiang Lingfeng broke his hands, he was panicking, listening to Master Withered Leaves interceding for him, he hurriedly took three steps and two steps to escape, and was afraid that Master Withered Leaves and Luo Xiao would suddenly repent, and ran straight out of four or five miles, still not daring to stay.
Master Withered Leaf looked at Luo Xiao and said, "Master Luo is so affectionate and righteous, just like when Lao Wei was young, hehehe. Holding his white beard in one hand, he laughed deeply. Luo Xiao scratched his scalp, and also ate and laughed. Zheng Zhicheng said with a smile: "Before the master became a monk, he must have been as handsome and chic as Luo Gongzi, and he also had a vigorous love, so you might as well talk about it with us." Master Withered Leaf chirped: "You, even if you are a child's mind, you love to watch the excitement, and you don't learn from your senior brother, otherwise the Taishan faction will have a strong help." That's all in the past, so why bother mentioning it again. Turning his head to Yingying, he said: "The girl's surname is Su, so who are you Su Yuanzhang Su Shizhu?" Yingying said: "That's my grandfather, do you know my grandfather?" ”
After noon, the withered leaf mage invited everyone to eat, Luo Xiao and others excused themselves, but it was difficult to be gracious, so they sat down to eat, the withered leaf mage lived mainly light, the same is a fasting meal, but also made simple and abnormal, in addition to rice, it is mushrooms and green vegetables, the warbler eats with relish, Luo Xiao and Zheng Zhicheng are not used to eating, but they are afraid that the withered leaf mage will be embarrassed, and they also happily eat two large bowls.
After lunch, after leaving the temple, Luo Xiao said: "Please also ask Brother Zheng to lead the way, I want to meet the eldest brother." Zheng Zhicheng smiled: "If you don't say it, I'll pull you too, senior brother wants you to be tight." "At the moment, I went up the mountain road with the warbler Luo Xiao. Mount Tai is majestic and majestic, the mountain road is steep and twists and turns, there are eighteen plates to say, from the mountaineering place to the dragon gate, it is for "slow eighteen", from this to the ascending immortal fang, it is for "unhurried and slow and eighteen", and then to the South Heavenly Gate, it is for "tight eighteen". There is a piece of hanging rock protruding in the west of the South Tianmen Cliff, the shape is like a pole Buddha side pillow, the Buddha's head is kind and smiling, it is said to receive the Buddha. Along the way, but see the ancient trees towering to the sky, all kinds of famous trees are inexhaustible, there are six dynasties relics, a doctor, five great pines, and a hundred years of wisteria, etc., there are many names, Luo Xiao can't remember it for a while. Since ancient times, Mount Tai has been worshiped by many emperors to worship and worship the Zen, up to Qin Shi Huang, Tang Taizong, Emperor Tang Gaozu and so on have been on Mount Tai to seal the Zen, everywhere there are the Zen platform and the inscription that is recorded. Buddhism flourishes in the area of Mount Tai, large and small temples are distributed among them, and famous temples such as Yuquan Temple and Zhulin Temple abound. Luo Xiao came to Mount Tai for the first time, and he didn't care much, and when he saw this scenery, he was overwhelmed with emotion
