XXXV. Candle flame on the stone wall of the scriptures

Horrified, knowing that if he stayed a little longer, he would immediately die without knowing it, so he immediately made a decision, threw down his sword, and hurried outward, and in a short time rushed out of the tower.

The goshawk ignored him and continued to fight in the crowd, but whenever he knocked down a person, he threw that person's blade out and hit the enemy one after another, causing a great chaos. If these bandits had been well-organized and had not been chaotic, they would not have been helpless to be tricked by the goshawks, but they had gathered on the mountain and were trying to be at ease, but when they suddenly encountered such chaos, how could they resist it? Finally, someone shouted: "The idea is hard, let's withdraw." ”

There were more than ten people left in the field, rushing towards the door in a swarm, just rushed out a few people, but when they saw the figure of a goshawk suddenly appear at the door, the goshawk shouted: "If you want to run, none of you can run!"

When the bandits saw the inexplicable tragic death of their companions, they had long been extremely afraid of the goshawk, and when they saw him appear, they were so frightened that they fell to their knees, and shouted again and again: "Hero, spare your life!" We were just coerced up the mountain by Nawu Xicheng, and we have not done anything that hurts heaven and reason. ”

The goshawk looked up to the sky and laughed, raised his head high, looked proud, and said loudly: "Who of you knows where the treasure is here? If you tell me honestly, Lao Tzu may really spare your life!"

At the same time, they turned against each other, guiding the goshawk to the cellar of the Xicheng faction, pried open the iron lock latch, and ordered everyone to move out the belongings one by one, and roughly counted the amounts. He thought to himself: "Lao Tzu pretends to be a greedy and lustful person, it is better to put some effort into pretending to be decent." ”

He showed a look of surprise on his face, carefully screened it, picked out the precious jewelry and gold, put it in a leather bag, carried it on his shoulder, his face changed, revealing a dignified face, and said: "Our knights of the Snow Lotus Sect are naturally not greedy for this bit of wealth. Divide these goods in equal parts, and send them down the mountain, keeping half for yourselves, and the other half for the poor people. If you are disobedient, even if Lord Yama protects you, Lao Tzu will break your corpses into ten thousand pieces, burn them and eat them, do you understand?"

The bandits heard that he was willing to spare his life, which was already a great joy, and they heard that it was actually profitable, only to feel that the chivalrous warrior in front of them was wise and powerful, and immediately worshiped him, and one of the bandits dared to ask: "This hero is actually from the Snow Lotus faction?" The villain is really blind and ignores Mount Tai, and does not know the name of this hero? After we go back, we will definitely set up an immortal tablet for your old man, worship every day, and pray for the hero." ”

The goshawk said: "You prick up your ears and listen to Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu is the head of the four protectors of the Snow Lotus Sect, and the goshawk and the young man of the goshawk who is called 'Fire Eagle' by the people of the rivers and lakes! After you go back, you must do a good job of promoting my goshawk's reputation, and you must not let my goshawk lose its dignity and majesty, do you understand?"

The bandits wept with gratitude, thanked them endlessly, divided their possessions, and scattered like birds and beasts, and the goshawk stood with their heads held high, and waited for the people to go away, and then quietly hid in the shadows, and inquired about the situation by the cave in the snow.

After about a meal, I saw Zhemei poking her head out of the hole, looking left and right, and seeing that there was no one around, she helped a middle-aged man out of the hole. She took advantage of the previous chaos in the mountains and sneaked into the cave to rescue the man. The goshawk looked at the man from a distance, and saw that he was thin and weak, and his face was full of weak temperament. The goshawk was suspicious, stepped forward, and asked, "Sister Zhemei, it turns out that you are hiding here, I said why can't you find it everywhere?" ”

Zhemei was startled, but she didn't expect the goshawk to be unharmed, and hurriedly said: "Brother goshawk, I thought that my senior brother was safe, so I didn't care about greeting you, so I came out to find him by myself." Thanks to the eldest brother's martial arts, he fought alone against a group of bandits from the Xicheng faction, killing them and fleeing in all directions. Your great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten by my brother and sister. ”

The goshawk smiled and pasted it, pinched Zhemei's little hand, and said: "Why should the girl be polite? It's just that you promised before, I don't know if you can do it?"

Zhemei smiled at him, the goshawk chuckled in his heart, and almost fled, but fortunately, Zhemei refused and said: "Big brother, I have been tortured by bandits these days, and my whole body is in pain, and it is difficult to serve my eldest brother, if the eldest brother pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and believes in the younger sister, it is better to let the younger sister and the senior brother return home first, the younger sister is already the eldest brother physically and mentally, and they are separated for the time being, so as to make good things happen in the future." The eldest brother is so brilliant, and the younger sister and I are already a broken flower, after I return to the master, can the master not agree?"

The goshawk looked sorry and complained: "You pushed back, so it made me feel cold, that's it, it's enough, my goshawk will believe you for the time being." He stretched out his hand and patted the scribe and said, "Senior brother, are you okay?"

This beat was quite forceful, the man was struck by the goshawk, leaned slightly, snapped, and fell out of his arms a thick book, the ink on it had dried, but the goshawk saw that it had been written not long ago. Goshawk said curiously, "What kind of book is this?" and reached out to pick it up.

At this moment, Zhemei kicked at the goshawk's left eye, the side of the goshawk's head, dodging this move, Zhemei immediately let go of the scribe, stretched out her foot on the book, the book jumped into the air on its own, she immediately grabbed the book, who knew that the goshawk turned everything on her wrist, the force was unpredictable, she involuntarily turned in a circle, and when she stood still, the book had fallen into the goshawk's hand.

Goshawk held the book in his hand and read, "Jiuding Sutra?

Zhemei forced her composure and said loudly: "Big brother, my senior brother believes in Buddhism, this is the ancestral Buddhist scripture in his family, and outsiders must not look at it, otherwise they will be punished by God." The eldest brother is chivalrous and anxious, and asks the eldest brother to return the book. ”

Goshawk thought to himself: "This person is definitely not her senior brother, the reason why this woman is so anxious is only afraid that this Jiuding True Scripture is extraordinary." In this way, the Xicheng faction captured this person, only afraid that it was related to this Jiuding True Scripture. And this woman was not imprisoned by the Xicheng faction before, but failed to save people, but attracted to chase and kill. ”

He didn't covet any martial arts cheats, but he was curious, and he intended to find out, took the scripture book in his hand, and said: "I'll go into that cave and take a look, there must be something strange in it!" Zhemei was anxious to pursue, and whistled out two palms, but was always one inch away from the goshawk, and when she was about to shoot the third palm, the goshawk suddenly stopped, and her fingers were a little in her palm.

The goshawk walked into the cave, saw that the road in the cave was also all the way down, came to the depths of the cave, and saw that the stone wall inside was chiseled, revealing a stone wall behind the stone wall, and the stone wall was densely written with Western Regions characters, the goshawk looked at it several times, and thought: "This is the text of the Great Food Country, that person must be able to understand these words, so he was locked up in the cave, and the Xicheng faction colluded with the Ghost Sword Gate to let him translate these words." ”

He watched it for a long time, and he didn't know why, so he turned around and walked out of the cave, unlocked Zhemei's acupoint, and saw Zhemei glaring at him, and said calmly: "Sister, sister, my good sister, why don't you tell my brother the truth? With my goshawk status and martial arts, how can I covet this secret book? But if you don't tell you the secret of me, I won't return this book." ”

Zhemei gritted her teeth, knowing that she couldn't think about it, so she could only say: "I don't know the origin of the Chinese characters in this book, but our Xia Lou master of Chaoxia Tower heard that the Xicheng faction found ancient characters on this Jiuding Ridge, and I happened to be here to do business, he flew pigeons to pass the book to me, so that I quickly found this uncle surnamed Pang nearby, he is proficient in the ancient language of the Great Food, and knows the Yili martial arts, or can decipher the scriptures on this wall." ”

Goshawk said, "Who knew that although you found this person, you were intercepted by the Xicheng faction and arrested him up the mountain?"

Zhemei nodded and said, "The Xicheng faction has colluded with the Hidden Star Pavilion for many years, and when the Hidden Star Pavilion learned of this, it immediately sent a master to check it out. I can't fight against the man, so I can only flee for a while. Later, I wanted to take advantage of their unpreparedness and go up the mountain to rescue this Mr. Pang, but they were already prepared, and I was besieged by them, and I almost fell into their hands. ”

Mr. Pang said in a trembling voice: "Those people are very fierce, they imprisoned me in a place where they don't see the light of day, and the lights are blind, let me translate the text for them."

Goshawk pondered for a moment, returned the Jiuding Sutra to Zhemei, Zhemei was very surprised, did not expect him to really return it, I couldn't believe it for a while, only felt like in a dream, and asked blankly: "Brother Goshawk, do you really return this book to me?"

Goshawk said: "Lao Tzu's kung fu is so high, this kind of cheats on the side door, Lao Tzu doesn't even bother to look at it." And the little beauty begs me so much, how can my goshawk bear to disobey your heart?"

Zhemei heard him so generous, looked at the goshawk, saw his handsome appearance, couldn't help but move in his heart, and secretly grateful, but then saw the goshawk showing a wicked smile on his face, his expression was a little disgusting, and for no reason he was bored, and secretly thought: "This person is full of bad ideas, he must want to capture the old and indulge, deceive my body and mind, and I will be a false snake, slow down this person, and wait for the help sent by Uncle Xia to arrive, then everything will be worry-free." ”

Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Big Brother Gaoyi, Big Brother Goshawk, Little Sister I and this Mr. Pang are leaving, if you have free time in the future, you can come to Qinhuang Mansion to find me at any time." ”

Goshawk knows that this Qinhuang Mansion is a big city, and it is the fundamental place of Chaoxia Tower, which is prosperous and lively, and businessmen come and go, and they are on the way. He smiled and said: "Since the little sister said so, then the eldest brother and I will definitely not fail you, as soon as I am free, I will immediately fly here." ”

Zhemei laughed, took out two horses from the stables of the Xicheng faction, slapped them twice, and was about to get on the horse, when suddenly two silver lights flew from the air, piercing the horse's forehead, and the two horses went crazy in an instant, kicked and trampled wildly, and ran away in a short time.

Zhemei's body was shocked, and when she looked back, she saw three black-robed people jumping over the wall and landing in front of them, with a light and agile body, like floating leaves.
