Chapter Twenty-Six: Luoyang, Night
At night, the White Horse Temple is still brightly lit. The moon was dark and the wind was high, and there were five black-clothed people discussing something on the roof of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the White Horse Temple. These five people are the bearded people who Jiang Tianliang asked them to come to visit the White Horse Temple at night.
"Second brother, did you say that there is a "Forty-two Chapters of the Sutra" in this Tibetan Scripture Pavilion?"
"I'm not sure about that. But the chance of this being hidden in the Scripture Pavilion is relatively high, so let's go to the Scripture Pavilion to find it first. ”
"I guess we'd better hurry up or we'll be discovered. One said worriedly.
"Fourth, you're just too cautious. We are now in the White Horse Temple, not the Shaolin Temple. The monks here don't know kung fu, so even if they are discovered, it's nothing. ”
"Sand, Sand"
"Who!?" the five of them were alert when they heard the voice. After a while, the bearded man's rough voice said, "It turned out to be the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, it seems that we are too sensitive." ”
As soon as the bearded man finished speaking, the branch shook again. As the branches swayed, the leaves on the branches made a sound of "sand ~ sand".
"Second brother, no! It's not the wind blowing. There's someone there!" said the fourth child just now.
"What!" said the bearded man, stunned. But before they could react, the man hiding in the tree plucked a few leaves and flew towards the five. The bearded men were caught off guard, and they were all hit by these leaves.
They fell off the roof by the mysterious man who hit them with leaves. "Oh no! There are masters, let's go!"
After saying that, the bearded men all covered their wounds and fled. After seeing them go, a man jumped down from the book. The man was also dressed in black and couldn't tell who it was, but he heard and said, "It's coming again so soon, you guys are really anxious." Looks like it's time for me to go find that one too. With that, he jumped and disappeared.
Jiang Tianliang sat in the hall, waiting for news of the bearded man. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, not so much as slammed open. Because, that door has been smashed by the force just now.
Jiang Tianliang was taken aback, and was about to get angry, but when he saw that it was a bearded man, they came back injured.
Jiang Tianliang asked them to carry the bearded them into the room. After a while, the bearded man lying on the bed coughed twice and woke up. When he woke up, he saw Jiang Tianliang drinking tea next to him.
"Big Brother"
Jiang Tianliang squinted at him and said, "Wake up? Hmph! If that leaf hadn't deviated from your heart by half an inch, even if the gods came, they wouldn't have been able to save you." ”
"No, not a deviation. The man was deliberately biased. ”
"Deliberate!?" Jiang Tianliang was surprised.
"Yes, the man shook the branch twice to warn us. But we still can't hide from it. It can be seen how high this person's skill is. ”
"Oh, who is that man, and what is he trying to do at the White Horse Temple. Could it be?" Jiang Tianliang thought for a while, "Could it be that he is also for the Forty-two Chapters Sutra? If this is really the case, why didn't he just kill you?"
"That's it. I don't know. "The bearded man doesn't know either.
"Could he be warning you not to go near the Scripture Pavilion by sparing your life?" Jiang Tianliang guessed as he touched his goatee.
"If that's the case, then there must be something in the Pavilion that he is protecting, or rather something that he is guarding in the Pavilion. What could it be?"
Suddenly, the eyes of the two widened almost at the same time, and they said, "Forty-two Chapters Sutra!"
"Then it must be right! The Forty-Two Chapters Sutra must be in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the White Horse Temple!" Jiang Tianliang said with certainty.
"But why did the old monk say that he was gone?" the bearded man remembered that no matter how he forced the presiding officer of the White Horse Temple during the day, he said no, so the bearded man asked puzzled.
"There are two possibilities. The first is that he really doesn't know. The second is that he knows everything, even the cheats inside. As the abbot of the White Horse Temple, it is impossible for him not to know the importance of this scripture, and those monks will definitely keep it safely. So, that old monk is lying!" Jiang Tianliang said with a fierce look in his eyes, "and he must have known that there was a master who was guarding this scripture." So no matter how much you forced him during the day, he didn't say why. Because once the matter is made bigger, the mysterious master will definitely take action. ”
"I see. That old monk is really cunning. ”
"By the way, has that person been found?" Jiang Tianliang suddenly asked.
"Not yet. We searched the entire city of Luoyang and the villages around Luoyang. Still no trace of her was found. The beard trembled.
"Hmph! you will leave as soon as you are healed!You must find her, her life is a threat to my current identity!" Jiang Tianliang said with squinted eyes.
Luoyang is as quiet as other villages in the middle of the night, and the wind blows a little cool at night. The wind shook the lantern in the husband's hand, but the husband was still reminding those who had not yet dreamed.
Leng Xing had just extinguished the candle flame in the room and was about to fall asleep, but he got up not long after he got into bed and said, "It's windy up there, come in and talk." ”
With that, a figure jumped out of the window into Leng Xing's room. "I really didn't expect that such a good light skill of mine would be discovered by you. I Yi Zihan admired. "The person who came was Yi Zihan, the disciple of Bai Xiaosheng.
"Did you come to me so late or did you sneak to me?"
"Well, there's something. To be exact, my master is looking for you to have something. Yi Zihan said with a smile.
Leng Xing frowned as soon as he heard that Bai Xiaosheng was looking for him: "Bai Xiaosheng, senior, what is he looking for me?"
"I know, I'm an errand boy at his old man's house. Yi Zihan said helplessly.
"Heh, Mr. Yi's such a good light skill was actually used as an errand. It's really condescending. Leng Xing said with a rare joke.
"Well, that makes sense. I think so too. Forget it, don't talk about this. This time, besides my master, there is another person who wants to see you. You will never guess who he is. Yi Zihan smiled mysteriously.
"Oh, and one more?"
"Well, let's go. Don't keep them waiting. ”
Leng Xing and Yi Zihan were just about to leave, but the door was pushed open. "In addition to the cold wood, my wind evil ears are also very smart. Wind Evil pushed open the door and said with a grin.
"I said, why is there something about your wind evil everywhere!?" Yi Zihan said impatiently when he saw that it was a wind evil.
"I'm omnipresent, and wherever there's good things, there's me. If you don't let me go with you tonight, I'll wake up Miss Li Qiong. I can't help it if she has to go with her for a while. The wind evil scoundrel said.
"I'm talking about you." Yi Zihan just wanted to educate the wind evil for a while, but was stopped by Leng Xing, "Forget it, let's go." Leng Xing said.
"Hmph, you're lucky!" Yi Zihan's eyes widened at Feng Xie, but Feng Xie grimaced at Yi Zihan.
Not long after, Leng Xing and the others came to the bamboo house where Bai Xiaosheng lived. "Master, the apprentice has brought him. Yi Zihan said respectfully.
At this point, the door opened. One by one, he came out of the room, dressed in black, and couldn't see his face clearly. But Leng Xing could feel the man's gaze on him.
Leng Xing felt very strange, so he asked, "Dare to ask who the senior is?"
The man didn't answer, but reached out and grabbed Leng Xing's neck. Leng Xing looked at the man's sudden attack and felt a little inexplicable. Leng Xing dodged, and at the same time, Leng Xing also reached out and grabbed the man's mask. Seeing this, Feng Xie wanted to go up to help Leng Xing, but was stopped by Yi Zihan beside him. "Don't panic, Leng Xing is not in danger. Feng Xie heard Yi Zihan say this, and then slowly retracted his steps.
The man in black didn't expect that he would pounce, and he didn't expect Leng Xing to fight back. The mask on his face was almost removed by the cold star.
He quickly left Leng Xing, returned to the place where he was standing just now, and said to Leng Xing: "Not bad, good kung fu." It's just that the shot is too regular, and it doesn't have the uninhibited appearance of your master. ”
As soon as Leng Xing heard that the man also knew his master, he became even more confused. The man in black looked at Leng Xing, smiled "hehe", and then he took off the mask on his face.
