Chapter 20: Descending the Mountain
In this time, even if Zhao Tiancheng didn't ask for useful information from Sha Tianjiang's mouth, he knew their identities. Because after Zhao Tiancheng killed Sha Tianjiang, the voice sounded again: "Kill ten ordinary disciples of the Songshan Sect, and reward internal cultivation for four years." Kill one of the thirteen Taibao of Songshan, and the eleventh Taibao "Vulture Sha Tianjiang" rewards internal cultivation for six years. ”
Zhao Tiancheng felt that the internal force in his body had doubled again. And the extra internal force is like Zhao Tiancheng's own cultivation. If other people suddenly increased so much internal force, they would have exploded and died long ago. He didn't have anything, but Zhao Tiancheng also found a bad place, that is, these internal forces only increased in quantity, and they would not help Zhao Tiancheng open up the meridians to improve his level. Instead, they all gathered in the dantian. Zhao Tiancheng knew that in his case, unless he competed with others for internal force, he would not be able to exert the full power of internal force.
And Xin Guoliang and Yi Guozi, who were hiding not far away, saw Zhao Tiancheng very easily and easily killed a group of masters of the Songshan faction who intercepted them, and one of them was a person from the Thirteen Taibao. It is said that the strength of the vulture Sha Tianjiang is only one line behind Yu Canghai. But Zhao Tiancheng defeated Sha Tianjiang as if he was playing a child. Although the two of them did not learn the dragon claw hand, they also knew the moves of the dragon claw hand, Zhao Tiancheng could ask for Sha Tianjiang's surname when the first three styles were used up, but it was like two people practicing each other, and they stopped at a critical moment every time, and finally threw Sha Tianjiang out.
At this time, the two of them believed in the rumors in the temple, it is said that as long as Zhao Tiancheng can really be a monk, even if he can't become the abbot of Shaolin in a few years, he is the first seat of the Dharma Academy. The two of them looked at each other in shock, lying in the grass and not daring to move. The strength of the two of them is not as good as Sha Tianjiang.
Zhao Tiancheng took off all the masks after killing these people, and saw that there was actually a porter he hired when he went to Shaolin that day. I know that it is because they are interested in making money, so they are playing right and wrong. With Zuo Lengchan's intentions to strengthen the Songshan faction, he will not miss this opportunity. Even he himself didn't think that Zhao Tiancheng really knew the information about the treasure
When Zhao Tiancheng arrived at the state capital, he got in touch with the brothers, but he didn't see Xin Guoliang and Yi Guozi.
Zhao Tiancheng didn't bother to look for the two of them, the two big men were still martial, could they still get lost? And when he left, he didn't even notify his companions, so Zhao Tiancheng went directly to the restaurant.
However, Zhao Tiancheng never thought that these two people were actually in the restaurant, and they were drinking there at this time. It seemed quite happy, although Zhao Tiancheng was angry, he didn't say anything. Because when the two of them saw Zhao Tiancheng coming over and questioning, their attitudes were surprisingly good, and they all stood up: "Senior Brother Guocheng! The two of us originally just wanted to buy something, but we didn't expect to run into a rich boy doing evil." So I'll punish you a little. Later, I felt hungry in my belly, and I just happened to be next to this restaurant, so I wanted to pad my stomach first. Xin Guoliang carefully accompanied the courtesy, and at the same time looked at Zhao Tiancheng from time to time, and Yi Guozi, who had an even worse temper on the side, had no objection at all, but seemed to be even more afraid of Zhao Tiancheng, just lowered his head, and didn't even dare to look at Zhao Tiancheng.
Zhao Tiancheng looked at the attitude of the two people, touched his face, but thought in his heart, "What's the matter with these two people? Do you look so terrible? Why did you come out and change your surname?"
Seeing the attitude of two people admitting their mistakes, and it is not without reason. Whether it's made up or not, Zhao Tiancheng can't say anything more. Could it be that they don't save people? Or people are hungry and won't be allowed to eat? However, Zhao Tiancheng still said: "In the future, if there is anything when everyone is together, it is best to inform everyone first, so as not to worry about you." ”
This time, the two of them hurriedly said, "Definitely, definitely." After that, Xin Guoliang pulled a chair for Zhao Tiancheng and said, "Senior Brother Guocheng, let's also sit down together!" After speaking, he shouted: "Xiao Er, serve a few more signature dishes in the store." Then the three of them sat together, but they were both eating with their hearts.
Zhao Tiancheng didn't care, his attitude was not good, and he didn't have to spend his own money, Zhao Tiancheng ate very fragrant. He also didn't contact the brothers who were looking for people outside, because they usually set off fireworks when they were in contact. But now because it is already the Lantern Festival in the evening, the fireworks in the sky outside are continuous, and there are so many that even if they are placed in the sky, they may not be able to see them. When the time comes, if you can't find anyone, you'll naturally come here.
After a lively Lantern Festival, the relationship between the brothers and sisters was even better, and Xin Guoliang and Yi Guozi also deliberately befriended Zhao Tiancheng, although Zhao Tiancheng didn't like them in his heart, but the relationship was still good on the surface.
A week after the Lantern Festival, there was a rumor on the rivers and lakes that Sha Tianjiang, one of the thirteen Taibao of the Songshan faction, had people killed during the Lantern Festival, and it was a Shaolin dragon claw hand. This rumor quickly spread all over the world.
The people who can practice the dragon claw hand to this level are all Shaolin monks, how can they go out to kill people in the temple during the Lantern Festival. Although Zuo Lengchan brought people to Shaolin Xingshi to ask for guilt, but in the end it was in vain, one is that the strength of Shaolin is not comparable to the current Songshan faction. Zuo Lengchan didn't dare to be too presumptuous here. Another is that Zuo Lengchan also knows that Sha Tianjiang has some unsightly purposes for going out of the mountain this time, and he came here this time just to make an example for the people in the rivers and lakes, that is, as long as he is a member of the Songshan faction, he will definitely be in charge of the Songshan faction to the end. This time, because there was no evidence, Shaolin was spared.
Zhao Tiancheng didn't go to see it at all when Zuo Lengchan came to Shaolin, but practiced martial arts alone in the back mountain of Shaolin.
Zhao Tiancheng stopped practicing martial arts when dinner was about to be had in the evening, but an old voice came from behind him: "What a delicate Shaolin dragon claw hand." Guocheng is worthy of being a rare martial arts wizard in a century. ”
"Ahh Zhao Tiancheng hurriedly hit a Buddha salute and said, "Master Abbot!"
The abbot smiled mildly and said, "I didn't expect Guocheng to work so hard. I don't know what Guocheng thinks after he has practiced well?"
Zhao Tiancheng didn't know what his main task was, so he couldn't answer the abbot's question, so he had to say with a puzzled face, "I don't know what I'll do in the future, I haven't thought about it yet." I just want to practice martial arts well, and it will be more convenient if I think of something to do in the future. ”
"Maybe fate hasn't arrived yet!" said this, the abbot's words changed and asked, "I don't know what Guocheng thinks about Sha Tianjiang's death?"
Zhao Tiancheng didn't expect the abbot to ask him about this, and after thinking about it, he realized that among the younger generation of Shaolin Temple, only his own dragon claw hand kung fu was superb. What's more, he did go out of the temple on the day of the Lantern Festival. So Zhao Tiancheng didn't intend to hide it and explained: "The abbot didn't know, when I came to apprentice that day, the four porters were hired in the town below the mountain, but I didn't expect them to be greedy after seeing the gold, not only joined the Songshan faction, but also said that I had the secret of a treasure." The abbot also knew the surname of the left head of the Songshan faction, so when he went down the mountain that day, they blocked the way and wanted to ask for the whereabouts of the treasure, but I didn't know how to answer them about the treasure, so we fought. The last thing the abbot already knows. ”
The abbot clasped his hands together and saluted: "Amitabha, good! Greed harms people a lot, Guocheng is not bad, but the murderous intention is too heavy, it seems that Guocheng still needs to be honed before the mundane things are over." The abbot turned around and said, "Senior brother, you can come out." ”
It turned out that Fang Sheng thought that Zhao Tiancheng's heart was too angry, and he wanted the abbot to punish him if he offended the Songshan faction by killing people indiscriminately. But the abbot knows Zhao Tiancheng's personality through such a long period of contact, and basically follows the principle of "people don't offend me, I don't offend people", so Zhao Tiancheng should not be blamed for this incident. What's more, the abbot knew that Zhao Tiancheng had reached the quasi-first-class level above the rivers and lakes in only two years, and this was achieved without cultivating advanced internal skills. His future achievements must be limitless, so the abbot advocates marrying Zhao Tiancheng.
Fang Sheng walked out from behind the tree and saluted Zhao Tiancheng, "I didn't expect Lao Wei to be wrong, Guocheng is really not that kind of person." ”
"Uncle Shi is serious. Although he was a little unhappy in his heart, Zhao Tiancheng still returned the salute.
The abbot said, "Guocheng, you have also been here for two years, and the martial arts you used just now are already the highest level of the Prajnatang." But if you are a lay disciple, you are not allowed to enter the Damo Academy, so I hope that the Guocheng brothers can go down the mountain to practice, maybe the martial arts can go further and truly rank among the top levels of the rivers and lakes. ”
Zhao Tiancheng didn't expect that it was really time for him to go down the mountain, but there was nothing to be nostalgic about, and he had learned the martial arts that he could learn in Shaolin. Other advanced martial arts will definitely not be handed over to him. Therefore, Zhao Tiancheng was not reluctant, but said calmly: "Master Abbot, the disciple will definitely remember the grace of Shaolin's teachings." After speaking, Zhao Tiancheng made a salute, but this time it was a gift from the rivers and lakes. It represents that Zhao Tiancheng has officially become a person in the rivers and lakes, rather than a disciple of Shaolin.
Zhao Tiancheng didn't take anything at all, and secretly went down the mountain alone the next day. However, he didn't see the two monks in the main hall looking at the back of Zhao Tiancheng leaving.
The two of them were the two masters, Fang Sheng and Fang Zheng. Among them, Fang Sheng shook his head regretfully and said, "It's a pity that a martial arts wizard. But you can't enter my Shaolin. ”
Fang Zheng said with a slight smile: "Senior brother is in love." Don't you know the deeds of Zhang Zhenren, the founder of Wudang. Now Chong Xu's old way has to come over often. ”
Fang Sheng also understood what the abbot meant, smiled and made a Buddhist salute and walked towards the back hall of the main hall.
