Chapter 52: Ulterior motives
The officers and soldiers were silent, and several Shura disciples were also speechless.
Lin Fengsheng said: "Does this general know who I am?"
The officer clenched his fists and said, "I haven't asked for advice!"
Lin Fengsheng said: "The next is the person who was kidnapped by the thieves a few months ago, don't you believe it below?"
There was an uproar among the officers and soldiers, and the officer said, "There is no evidence, how can Your Excellency prove it?" One of the Shura disciples also said: "Yes, since you have been taken captive, how can you appear here?
Kongyuan's big sleeves fluttered, and he waved his palm to force a few people back, so that it was the authentic Buddha sect Prajna palm method, and he stood at the door and said: "There is an old man here today, so I can't tolerate you little and wild people." If you want to enter the temple to search, you have to pass the old man's level first!"
Lin Fengsheng said: "Master, these people are indeed Shuramen, there is no doubt that they have met with them at Yun'er's house in their later life, and they must have ulterior motives for coming here today." These were the people who killed Zhang's predecessors that day. ”
Kong Yuan was filled with righteous indignation when he heard this, and shouted loudly: "Okay, you officers and soldiers dare to collude with bandits and collude, it is really lawless. When the warrior monks of the pagoda temple heard this, they all subdued the demons and defended the way today, and knocked these rabble down the mountain!" all the monks responded in unison, waving their long sticks and attacking the officers and soldiers and the Shuramen.
Seeing this, the officer couldn't help but panic and shouted: "Do you want to rebel, there will be an edict from the emperor, I see which of you dares to do it!"
Seeing this, Lin Fengsheng said: "Master, and tell all the senior brothers to stop, I have something to say." ”
Kong Yuan nodded, and immediately stopped the monks. Lin Fengsheng hugged his fists at the officer and said: "This general, who escaped by luck in Xia, is about to go to the Dali Palace to meet the saint, and I will show the emperor the whereabouts of the prisoner." Today, I will not tell the emperor about being instigated by villains and disturbing the pure land of Buddhism. I hope you will rein in the precipice and quickly withdraw your troops. He saw that the officers and soldiers had a close relationship with the Shuramen, and that they had no fear because they held the emperor's edict, so he wanted to use the technique of attacking the heart.
The officer bowed his head and groaned, and after a while, he said, "Since there are really no prisoners here, then we should search elsewhere!" Thank you for your advice, and take your leave. With a wave of his hand, he led the soldiers to retreat.
Suddenly, a person flashed out of the officers and soldiers: "General, are you really willing to leave like this? Don't you want the five hundred taels of silver rewarded by the imperial court?" The person who spoke was about fifty years old, with two whiskers on his upper lip, and although he had changed into the clothes of an officer and soldier, Lin Fengsheng recognized him at a glance as a yellow-clothed man who came to snatch the sword with the Shura Sect a few days ago, and his swordsmanship was quite successful.
The officer hesitated: "Since we can't catch the prisoners, how can we receive the court's reward." This young man is the emperor's lucky general, and we can't believe his words. ”
The man sneered: "If this person is really the lucky general who rescued the driver, naturally he can't believe his words, but none of us have ever seen this person, and there is no basis for empty words, how can the general easily trust others and let go of a great opportunity to receive a reward for meritorious service?"
The officer rolled his eyes a few times and said, "Well, you have a point. He turned to Lin Fengsheng and said, "Your Excellency claims to be the person who was taken captive that day, how can you prove that what you said is true?"
Lin Feng said in his heart: "This man in yellow is really insidious, these soldiers are not the Imperial Forest Army, so naturally they did not participate in the battle of the Imperial City that day, because no one knows me." And the emperor and Uncle Yu are not here at the moment, who can testify for me? No matter how I defend myself, the people of the Shura Sect will provoke it, how can this be good?" let his mind be quick, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
The man in yellow, Ha Lu Ha Da Lang, said with a smile: "These monks are so determined, saying that the Qin prisoner is not in the temple, then he must be gone, so there is no need to go in and search again." If we can catch it back and wait for the emperor to send it, it will also be a great achievement, and we can also receive a reward of five hundred taels of silver. ”
They did come for the sword, and when they saw that the sword was already in Lin Fengsheng's hands, they wanted to instigate the officers and soldiers to arrest him, so that they could get the sword without much effort. And the so-called five hundred taels of silver reward is exactly the benefit they promised to give to the officers and soldiers after they get the sword, and he repeatedly emphasized in his words that it was a strategy to lure them into profit.
The officer said, "Okay, come on, tie this person up!" Four or five officers and soldiers disguised as Shuramin came out with shackles in their hands.
Kong Yuan stood in front of Lin Fengsheng and shouted: "This prince is a distinguished guest of the old man, how can you say that you will be tied up, you will inevitably look down on the pagoda temple and the upper and lower times!"
A Shura disciple said: "Old monk, you have repeatedly blocked us from handling the case, this is the old birthday star hanging, and he is impatient!" Several other people also shouted: "Get out of the way, otherwise a fire will burn down your temple!"
Lin Fengsheng couldn't defend himself at the moment, and said helplessly: "Master don't worry, the late students can go with them, as long as they see the emperor, everything will be known by themselves." ”
Kong Yuan said: "These people are embarrassed, I'm afraid that this matter will not be so simple, you must not go with them." Get out of here, and you'll be responsible for the consequences. ”
Lin Fengsheng said: "Where did the master say, these people are obviously coming for the sword in my hand, then I will use this sword to have a good deal with them, kill a few Shuramen's rats, and also avenge the old man Zhang!"
Kong Yuan said: "Okay, today, I will fight the enemy side by side and eliminate harm for the martial arts and the imperial court." Take a step back and stand side by side with Lin Fengsheng.
Seeing that Lin Fengsheng refused to give in, the officer said angrily: "This person slandered the officers of the court, quickly capture him alive and bring him back to punish the crime!"
Not a word, all the warrior monks had already shouted and poured in, and Qi Mei sticks were everywhere and knocked down three or four officers and soldiers. Seven or eight Shura disciples drew their long swords and attacked Lin Fengsheng together. Among these people, the yellow-clothed people have the highest martial arts, so they naturally fight with Kongyuan.
The officers and soldiers and the monks were in a clear confrontation with the two armies, so that the archers saw the cheapness and fired arrows at the monks one after another, without worrying about hurting their own people. As close as the distance came, the force of the arrows was very strong, and several monks were injured in an instant.
Lin Fengsheng unfolded his body and swam between seven or eight long swords like a swimming fish, the bloody sword in his hand was not unsheathed, and he wanted to play a few people first. At this time, he was close to the completion of the Guigu Divine Skill, and he also had a lot of experience in all kinds of methods to break the enemy, and he was very comfortable with these people.
Kongyuan's moves are calm, his internal strength is strong, and although the man in yellow has high swordsmanship, he can't help it. It's just that the warrior monks in the temple are facing strong bows and crossbows, and there are many soldiers who attack and harass, and more and more people are injured.
Seeing this, Lin Fengsheng regretted it in his heart, pulled out his sword, cut off three long swords in a row, and saw that the Yutang acupoints of several people connected three fingers, and the three people's acupoints could not be moved again when they were sealed. The remaining few people used the sticky words in the swordsmanship, and they didn't dare to touch Lin Fengsheng's sword, and the sword moves entangled him one after another. Although he has practiced the sword technique for most of the day, he has not been able to penetrate it, and his swordsmanship is still inferior to the Shura disciple who uses the sword all year round.
Kongyuan or fist or palm, there are many clever moves, all of which are authentic Buddhist martial arts, and he has gained the upper hand, gradually restraining the long sword in the hand of the man in yellow, forcing him to retreat again and again.
Lin Fengsheng said in his heart: "My swordsmanship can't compare to them, so I simply abandon the sword and don't use it, first restrain these Shura Sect people, and then go to catch that officer!"
It stands to reason that these people were pointed to by Lin Fengsheng in Yun'er's hermitage, and they lay on the ground for more than ten hours, during which they suffered from mosquito bites, and they should have been on guard, but his steps were really unpredictable, and it was difficult to dodge.
Lin Fengsheng restrained all the people of the Shura Sect, waved his sleeves and dropped a few feather arrows that came from the front, and snatched seven or eight blades in a row among the officers and soldiers. The officer hid in the crowd, commanded the archers to release their arrows, and suddenly felt a flower in front of him, and the veins had been detained, and then he was involuntarily dragged out of the crowd.
Lin Fengsheng grabbed the officer and dragged him straight to the monks, the bow and arrow are not long, where can the eyes distinguish between the enemy and me, and with a whoosh, a feather arrow shot straight towards the door, and the officer was controlled by people and could not avoid it at all, and closed his eyes in surprise and said secretly: "My life is over." He was terrified, but the arrow didn't really shoot at him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the arrow stopped in front of him, only an inch away from his eyelids, and the tail of the arrow had been grabbed by Lin Fengsheng.
Lin Fengsheng said: "If you don't want to die, let the archers stop quickly, otherwise you will become a living target." ”
The officer shouted tremblingly, "Fuck, don't let go of the arrows, do you want to shoot Lao Tzu!"
Only Kong Yuan and the man in yellow are still fighting, although several Shura people are restrained by Lin Fengsheng, they can still speak, sometimes shouting and cheering for the man in yellow together, and sometimes "thief monk, old bald donkey" scolding endlessly, intending to distract Kong Yuan's mind.
Kongyuan meditation kung fu is very good, the abuse of several people is almost useless, I saw that his moves are wide open and closed, the strength is heavy, the sword moves of the man in yellow are gradually sluggish, and his breathing is heavy, and it is difficult to resist. Seeing this, several people scolded even louder, and the foul language was unbearable. Jingfang and several other warrior monks were furious, grabbed them and slapped them a few times, picked a few pieces of dirt on the ground and stuffed them into the mouths of several people, and the voices of several people became hoarse.
