Chapter 49: Mingjiao

Dugu Yun heard that he was an official of the imperial court, and his heart was suddenly unhappy, because he went in and out of the rivers and lakes, and everywhere he went, most of the people suffered from the so-called parents and officials, yes, he didn't have a good impression of Huang Shang. But listening to Huang Sheng mention Mingjiao, Duguyun was full of curiosity about Mingjiao. He asked, "Mingjiao, what kind of sect is this, why haven't I heard of it?"

Huang Shang said: "Speaking of this Mingjiao, I am afraid that few people in the rivers and lakes know about it, and even I only found out some time ago. This Mingjiao is not a sect of rivers and lakes. Its birthplace is not our Middle-earth. Rather, it was in a far, far away place called the Persian kingdom. After the rise of the Persian Ming Religion, the power became stronger and stronger, and they did not do anything to develop in one place, so they sent their congregations to other countries to recruit believers, and two years ago, a group of merchants came from Persia, bringing many things that we have never seen in Middle-earth to present to the saints today. cough, cough, cough, "

Huang Sheng coughed twice, took a breath and continued: "Our saint couldn't put it down when he saw such a baobei, and he rewarded these people with an official position on the spot. But those few people did not accept it, and only begged the Holy Lord to allow him to preach everywhere in the Central Plains. At that time, when the Holy Lord was happy, how could he doubt the intentions of a few people, and the Holy Lord made a decree at that time, agreeing to a few people to preach in Middle-earth, and asking officials from all parts of the court to give convenience. Because of this will, those few people ran rampant in Middle-earth, and in just one year, they accepted tens of thousands of sectarians, and they also openly opposed the imperial court. ”

When Huang Shang said this, he rested for a while because of his serious injuries before continuing: "Just half a year ago, the Ming Sect rebelled in Anhui, so the Holy Lord asked me to lead troops to quell the chaos. These followers had only been in the Ming religion for a short time, and within four months I had conquered their headquarters, captured the Persian missionaries alive, and beheaded them one by one. ”

Saying that, Huang Shangqing also became excited, and continued: "Although the missionaries were killed, they let their sect leader escape, and the sect leader hid, and I couldn't catch him for a while, so I thought that the Ming sect would disperse, but who would have thought that this sect leader didn't know what method he used, and he actually invited countless masters to take revenge on me. Pity my family of thirty-four that he killed all of them. I'm the only one left to flee here、、、。 As he spoke, he was angry and sad.

Duguyun couldn't help but feel sympathy when he heard him say that the whole family was destroyed, and recalled the tragedy of the Zhu family's annihilation, and couldn't help but be sad again, and said in his heart: "I don't know if my grandfather's death is related to Mingjiao? If it is really done by Mingjiao, I will also seek revenge from their sect leader." Dugu Yun asked, "What is the name of the sect leader, do you know, uncle?"

Huang Shang gritted his teeth and said: "The surname is Fang, and the name is thirteen." Also known as Fang La. As soon as Dugu Yun heard Fang Thirteen, he immediately remembered that Wang Dingyi and the other twelve people, and said in his heart: "Thirteen, isn't it just behind those twelve wicked people, are they in a group." The more he thought about it, the more he felt right. I can't help but hate the other party thirteen too. He asked Huang Sheng again: "Uncle, aren't you an official of the imperial court, since you have escaped, why don't you send an army to kill Mingjiao again?" ”

Huang Shang said: "You don't know, after I paid the Mingjiao, it was a great achievement, but my top boss Tong Guan was afraid that I would cover his limelight, so he actually received the credit and military rivalry into his hands." I don't have a soldier now, so I can only run for my life. Duguyun scolded angrily: "It's another dog official, then why don't you go to the capital to find the emperor to sue Tong Guan?"

Huang Sheng shook his head and sighed: "It's useless, this Tong Guan commands all the soldiers and horses in the world, and he has won the trust of the emperor." If I enter Beijing, I am afraid that I will be arrested by Tong Guan before I see the emperor. ”

Dugu sighed: "In this way, this emperor is also mediocre enough, all he uses are corrupt officials and corrupt officials, no wonder the life of the common people is getting more and more miserable, if it goes on like this, how can the common people live?" Huang Sheng also sighed. The two of them were speechless all night, so they slept like this.

On the second day, although Huang Shang's injuries were much better, he was still unable to move. But Liu Feixue's illness has improved, and she followed Duguyun to find something to eat. Outside of Suzhou, there are few animals to catch on the mountain. There are a lot of fish in the water, but this is the coldest season, and it is extremely inconvenient to catch fish in the water. , But the food for the four people, how could it be so easy to find, and in the end, Duguyun had no choice but to endure the cold and dive into the water to catch a few fish. Fortunately, he was extremely resistant, and although the water made the cold biting, it did not make him catch the wind cold.

After a few days, Huang Sheng was under the care of Duguyun and Aunt An, and the injuries on his body were almost healed. It can move freely, but it is inconvenient to use force with others. That night, the four of them ate some fish as usual, and then lay down on the edge of the fire and slept. In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, Dugu Yun was startled, and he was about to stand up, when suddenly a hand reached over and covered his mouth. But Huang Sheng was shocked before him, afraid that he would make a sound, so he covered his mouth first and signaled him not to make a sound. The two sneaked to the door, looked out, and saw a group of four people in the distance, dressed in black, riding a tall horse and looking around.

One of them said: "Second brother, are you sure that Huang Shang fled here?" The man named the second brother said: "I am sure that it is correct, third brother, don't you believe in my tracking skills?" The third said: "That's not it, second brother, your tracking skills are the best in the world, which no one can deny." But now, it is the dead of night, and it is dark all around, where do we go to find him? Otherwise, how about we go to the advanced city to take a breath and recuperate our spirits, and come here early tomorrow morning to look for it?"

The other youngest man said, "Third brother, I think you miss a woman." Suzhou and Hangzhou have been places of beautiful women since ancient times, and you can't help it when you see it outside Suzhou, right?" The third smiled and said, "Fourth, don't talk nonsense, there's nothing to do." The fourth said: "Don't we know your dim sum eyes? Big brother, you say yes. ”

Dugu Yun heard the four of them mention Huang Shang, and whispered, "Uncle, they are here for you." Are the four of them people in the Ming Sect?" Huang Sheng broke out in a cold sweat in his palms, but fire was about to erupt in his eyes, and he replied in a low voice: "Exactly, among these four people, the highest martial arts is the long, surnamed Wang, named Huafeng, the second Zhang Ziling is good at tracking, the nose is extremely smart, but the martial arts are the weakest. These four people are known as the "Four Monsters of Suzhou", and I don't know when they became the four major killers under the Ming Sect Protector. My family was killed, and the four of them were among the murderers. Dugu Yun said: "Then if the four of them are separated and fight with you, can you defeat them?" Huang Shang said: "If I am not injured, I can defeat the four of him alone." But now I'm injured, not to mention the four, even the weakest second brother can't beat him. ”

The older man, who never had any expression on his face, said coldly: "Okay, don't talk about it, it's important to do big things now." The third man said: "The injury suffered by Huang Shang is not light, and it will not heal so quickly for a while, how fast can he run?" Old Dao: "If you can't take precautions, it's better to be careful." Suddenly, the second child pointed to the dilapidated house not far away and said, "Big brother, look, there is a dilapidated house, it seems that there is still a fire, let's go over and take a look." Old Dao: "Okay." With that, he pulled the reins, and whipped the horse towards the ruined house.

Duguyun and Huang Sheng were shocked, and Duguyun said, "What should I do? Huang Shang said: "What else, I'll go out and fight with them." As he spoke, he was a little afraid. Dugu Yun said: "No." If you die, your family's enmity is not something that no one can hold, so it's better to hide for a while. Huang Shang said: "That's right." He turned around and looked for a place to hide in the house, but the room was very narrow and empty, but where could anyone hide. If you break the wall from behind, you will inevitably be discovered, seeing that the four of you are getting closer and closer, both of them are anxious like ants on a hot pot.
