About an hour later, the clear chirping of the ice toad accompanied by the ringing of strings of bells came from far and near, and Yun'er held a thin bamboo branch in her hand and shouted behind herd, which really looked like grazing.

Kong Yuan couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene, Lin Fengsheng was even more happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Yun'er, is it fun to release ice toads?"

Yun'er drove the ice toad back into the barrel and said happily: "It's funny, but this little thing is too picky eater, so I followed them a lot of ways." ”

Kong Yuan said: "Ice toads are not ordinary things after all, and it is reasonable that they are difficult to raise. This is like a peony, although it is graceful and gorgeous, the country is fragrant, but it is not easy to cultivate. ”

Yun'er said: "Well, the master's analogy is also appropriate, these two little things sprayed down several pheasants and hares with poisonous sand, but it was inconvenient to eat, and finally found a few white snakes in a small stone cave, so they were willing to suck its brain marrow." ”

Lin Fengsheng said: "This little thing is really worthy of being beaten." However, they have the Nirvana Bell given by the master on their feet, which can be regarded as a transcendence for those little creatures. ”

Yun'er smiled: "Then I'll whip them when I go back, so that they don't dare to kill indiscriminately." ”

Lin Fengsheng and Kong Yuan couldn't help but laugh when they heard it. The three of them talked and laughed for a while, Lin Fengsheng and Kong Yuan discussed the swordsmanship again, and Yun'er sat on the side and teased the two ice toads.

The eighty-one style of the Flower Swing Sword Technique was halfway through the study, and suddenly I heard the shouts of "Master, Master" shouting all the way, and the voice was the little novice who served the empty source.

Kong Yuan said: "Let's go over and see, he may have something important to find the old man." ”

The three of them walked back along the path, and after a while, they met Xiao Shami, and Kong Yuan said, "Meditation, do you have anything to do with coming to Master?"

Jingxin said: "Master, the big thing is not good, there are many officers and soldiers in the temple, saying that we harbor criminals and want to arrest us." "This little novice who is called Jingxin is only twelve or thirteen years old, and he thinks that he has been threatened and intimidated by the officers and soldiers just now, and he is so anxious that he is about to cry.

Kong Yuan stretched out his hand and touched Jing Xin's little head, and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, wait for Master to go and talk to them." ”

After that, he started to stride lightly, Lin Fengsheng lifted the sword and took a step behind, and Yun'er and Jingxin slowly followed.

Kong Yuan and Lin Fengsheng saw a group of people around the gate of the temple from a distance, about 100 people, all of them with bright armor, carrying bows and arrows, holding knives and guns, and sure enough, they were the officers and soldiers of Dali. All the monks held their eyebrows and formed a formation to guard the gate and prevent the officers and soldiers from entering. The two sides are in a stalemate and confrontation, and there is a great tendency to be tense.

Kong Yuan slowly walked into the crowd and stood still, looking at the officers and soldiers, and all the monks bowed together and called them "abbots". Kong Yuan nodded slightly, and said loudly: "You military masters are here, and the old man is not welcome. I wonder what you're doing here?"

A young officer stood out in the crowd and snorted: "Old monk, we heard that there are imperial court criminals hidden in your temple, you quickly tell these little monks to retreat, we will go in and search!"

Lin Fengsheng saw that these officers and soldiers were very rude, and he was secretly angry in his heart, and said in his heart: "In my Dali country, even the royal family respects the Buddhist family, and you dare to be so rude to the great monks, it is really unreasonable. He has seen the emperor one day, and I must explain to him today's events and punish you for a great crime of disrespect. ”

Kong Yuan said calmly: "How can the Holy Land of Buddhism harbor Qin criminals?

The officer said, "It was my men who saw with their own eyes that you had hidden the prisoners in a cave. ”

Kong Yuan said: "Who is this person, can you please come out and confront the old man?"

The officer made a look, and one of the people said, "I saw it with my own eyes, two Qin prisoners hid in the Sanskrit cave in your temple." ”

Lin Fengsheng looked at this person carefully, and suddenly felt very familiar, and remembered after a little recollection: "This person is a disciple of the Shura Sect, and they must have wanted to use the hands of officers and soldiers to find the sword." These officers and soldiers either had personal relations with them or accepted bribes from them. ”

Fu carefully checked among the officers and soldiers, and sure enough, there were still three or four Shura disciples in disguise, and they didn't expose it at the moment, wanting to see what tricks they were playing.

Kong Yuan said: "This temple really does not contain any prisoners, and the monks don't speak, so please go back." The solemn place of Buddhism is really not suitable for trespassing at will!" This sentence is neither humble nor arrogant, and has its own majestic momentum.

The officer was speechless, knowing that the Dao Pagoda Temple was the Taishan Beidou of Dali Buddhism, so he naturally did not dare to act rashly. The Shura disciple said, "We are acting according to orders, and I hope that the great monk will not embarrass me." Don't you dare to let us search, are you a thief?"

Kong Yuan held back his anger and said, "What if you can't find the prisoner?"

The officer said, "If you can't find it, you can't find it, what can you do? After that, he took out a piece of yellow silk and shook it in the wind, and shouted: "Those who know each other should get out of the way quickly, otherwise your temple will be sealed and you will be sent to the frontier one by one to fill the army!"

Several short-tempered monks were about to step forward to fight, but Kong Yuan waved his sleeves to stop him: "Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, and our whole temple is innocent and upright, and we are not afraid of them framing and searching. Let's stand aside for a moment and see what they have to say. ”

The monks slowly withdrew with angry eyes, and one of them shouted: "Eagle Claw Sun, we have recorded today's events in the Pagoda Temple! This person was the eldest disciple of Kongyuan, Jingfang, and the rest of the monks also clamoured.

The officer said, "Dare to be a bald donkey, dare to intimidate the officials of the imperial court, give me a careful search!" The officers and soldiers applauded in an uproar and rushed to the temple gate.

Lin Fengsheng saw that the officials and soldiers were disrespectful to the Buddhist monks, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he encouraged his true anger and said loudly: "Slow!" Before the words fell, he flashed and blocked the door.

His "and slow" voice used enough internal strength, and it was really deafening and extraordinary, and all the officers and soldiers were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and their hearts were inexplicably frightened, and suddenly no one dared to take another step forward.

The young officer plucked up the courage to step forward and said, "Who is Your Excellency, and what advice do you have?" He saw that Lin Fengsheng was the first to take the lead, and his internal strength was strong, and he couldn't help but be a little polite in his words.

Lin Fengsheng said lightly: "I don't dare to give advice, but I have a few words to ask the general." ”

The officer said, "If you have anything to say, just ask!"

Lin Fengsheng said: "May I ask the general, your subordinates said that they saw the Qin prisoner hiding in the Fanyin Cave, but why did you break into the temple to search?"

The officer was stunned and said, "The Fanyin Cave is in the temple, how can we search if we don't go in?"

Lin Fengsheng smiled slightly, turned his head to the Shura disciple who testified, and said, "Has the military master really seen the Qin prisoner hiding in the Fanyin Cave?"

The disciple said, "Yes, I followed all the way and saw with my own eyes that two Qin criminals sneaked into the temple and were hidden in the Sanskrit Cave by a little monk. ”

Lin Fengsheng nodded, and said, "Dare to ask the military master who the surnames of these two Qin criminals are, and what kind of crime they committed?"

The officer said: "One of these two people is called Lubu Pavilion, and the other is called Azong Aliang, who committed the great crime of bullying the king and gathering a crowd to rebel, and also took people hostage and kidnapped the emperor's lucky generals. Now the court is furious, and orders us to do our best to arrest it!"

Lin Fengsheng was secretly amused, and said in his heart: "No matter how similar you say, but you don't know that the kidnapped lucky general is here, even if you collude well in advance, there are flaws everywhere in front of me." He smiled and paced back and forth in the doorway, no longer asking questions and not giving way.

The officer said, "Have you finished asking?"

The Shura disciple said, "He must be trying to delay time, so that the Qin prisoner can take the opportunity to escape, and the brothers will be side by side!"

The monks stood in a row and blocked the temple gate. Lin Fengsheng's feet were like the wind, and he took out his sword and slashed it towards the long sword in the hand of the Shura disciple. Everyone felt a cold light pass in front of them, and the man's long sword was broken in unison. The disciple only had a sword hilt left in his hand, and his face was full of horror, and Deng Deng Deng took four or five steps back.

Lin Fengsheng said: "I'm afraid that what everyone is looking for is not a court criminal, but this sword in the next hand!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was moved, and several Shura disciples were shocked and angry, and said one after another: "What nonsense are you talking about, we don't know what bullshit sword you are talking about!" "You have repeatedly obstructed, are you going to be an enemy of the imperial court, if you let go of the Qin criminals, you will not die a good death one by one!"

Lin Fengsheng said with a smile: "There is a way that if you say too much, you will lose, I advise a few people not to be untrustworthy." You are not officers and soldiers at all, but the shameless scum of the Shura Sect in western Sichuan! Those two traitors have never been to Jizu Mountain, so how can you see them with your own eyes? If you really saw them with your own eyes, how could you not know that the Sanskrit Cave is on the cliff outside the temple and not in the temple?"

The people of the Shura Sect were all shocked, and they shouted one after another: "This kid is full of nonsense, eighty percent of him is a fellow party of the Qin criminal, we will arrest him back and receive the reward!"

One of the empty sources stopped, and said with a flick of his sleeves: "Our pagoda temple has always been law-abiding and indisputable with the world. Otherwise, don't think about leaving Jizu Mountain for half a step!"
