The martial arts start saved the little dragon girl

Chapter 77
Afraid of being caught up by the evil monk, Yang Guo urged the white horse to go faster and arrived in Putian within half a day.

After traveling for more than ten miles, it was already evening when we arrived at the foot of Jiulian Mountain outside Putian City.

Surrounded by mountains on both sides, the terrain can be called dangerous.

Find a simple farmer at the foot of the mountain and entrust the white horse to them. The two of them climbed up the mountainside of the tallest mountain according to the guidance. Sure enough, there is a large open space surrounded by the surrounding peaks, just like a small basin.

The middle of the open space is surrounded by four towering and long walls. Farmland, markets, buildings, and crowds can be seen from a distance in the wall. It is very prosperous, and it really looks like a city.

Yang Guo and Qu Feiyan took another path from the mountainside and walked down to the foot of the mountain, after a while they arrived at the main gate of the city wall, there was a team of guards at the gate, there were bald monks and soldiers in monk clothes, and there were also laymen soldiers, yelling at the passers-by.

Yang Guo only said that it was a foreigner who came to Fujian for sightseeing and came to burn incense in the South Shaolin Temple admiringly.

The two are very young, the male is handsome and unrestrained, the female is cute and cute, they both look harmless to humans and animals.

Naturally, the guards were not worried that they were villains, so they only asked a few questions before letting them in.

After entering the "city", I found that the security inside was even stricter than that at the gate of the city wall. After walking for a while, you can see high-solid watchtowers, where sentries and crossbowmen are hidden upstairs, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

But the people inside are not affected by this, on the contrary, the law and order is excellent, and good people live and work in peace and contentment.

When you look at the mountainside from a distance, it doesn’t look like much. When you get closer, you can see that the fertile farmland is stretching and vast, which is shocking.The water conservancy is convenient in the field, and many people are busy with farm work, there are also monks and laymen, and there are even some strong peasant women.

After passing a large area of ​​concentrated farmland, there is a large market in the central area. Maybe today is the market day. There are huge crowds of people in the market, exchanging what they need, and mainly bartering.

Yang Guo and Qu Feiyan also joined in the fun and strolled around the market for a while, and found that most of the necessities of life were available. It seems that if there is any accident, the place is isolated from the outside world, and it can be self-sufficient. With this dangerous terrain and high-solid city walls, it is impossible to go outside. break into.

Walking through the market, you can see the criss-crossing fields, the houses look like houses, and the residents grow vegetables and raise livestock at home, or do some small handicrafts such as weaving. Most people have smiles on their faces. When they see the two, they greet them warmly.

Seeing these scenes, Yang Guo was very happy: If Qu Feiyan lives here for a while, he should be able to get by.

After he has achieved great martial arts and has no fear of the Demon Sect, he will come to pick her up again, and he will go wherever he wants to go at that time.

By the end of the road, it was completely dark.

Fortunately, at the moonlight tonight, I saw a group of temples in the distance. It was not grand and luxurious, but it had a simple and simple temperament. It should be the location of the South Shaolin Temple.

Yang Guo and Qu Feiyan were both happy and worried, they were happy because they finally reached their final destination, but worried because they didn't know if the great monk in the temple would be unkind.

It stands to reason that the Southern Shaolin Temple is the foundation of the city, and the natural protection is more stringent, but it was not until the two of them walked a few steps from the main entrance of the temple that an old monk walked over tremblingly and said:
"You two benefactors, do you want to burn incense and pay homage to the Buddha?"

The voice is old but soft, and it is quite comfortable to listen to.

Yang Guo clasped his fists and said, "It's no wonder the eminent monk, we didn't come here to pray for the Buddha. If we don't understand the etiquette and worship indiscriminately, we are afraid of offending the Buddha."

"Oh, you two didn't come here to pay homage to the Buddha." The old monk nodded, "Then you want to stay in the temple? It's not convenient for us to stay in the Shaolin Temple... we can only ask you to move to the guest room outside the temple."

Yang Guo shook his head, said with a smile, "We're not here to borrow the night."

After thinking about it, Yang Guo said truthfully, "We want to see your abbot, Zen Master Hongye, and discuss important matters with him."

After talking about it, Yang Guo himself felt a little strange: a couple of boys and girls came to the South Shaolin Temple at night and asked to see the abbot by name.

If someone else sees it, they will definitely think that the two of them are boring lunatics.

Sure enough, the old monk showed a surprised expression when he heard the words, but he still said softly: "Oh, so you want to see Abbot Hongye. What do you need to see him?"

Yang Guo said: "There are two things. One is that an old friend of the Southern Shaolin Temple asked me to deliver a letter and a token to your abbot, Zen Master Hongye; second, hey, I want to talk about the second thing after I see your abbot.

——Actually, I also think that it is better to hand over this letter to Zen Master Hongye face to face. "

Originally, Yang Guo might not have been so cautious.But on the way, after seeing the fierce and thin monk Kongxiang murdering his uncle, he couldn't help but feel very worried about the monk.

So at this moment, to this old monk who is guarding the gate, he does not ask the South Shaolin Temple to take in Qu Feiyan, nor does he dare to pass on the letter to him.

I'd better meet Zen Master Hongye and then, depending on the situation, consider whether or not to tell him about the murderous deeds witnessed by the Dharma name Kongxiang on the way.

The water here is very deep, and it seems to involve the factional struggle in the South Shaolin Temple. Before seeing the situation clearly, it is better to keep silent.

Qu Feiyan was listening, and also felt that it was a bit abrupt that two strangers suddenly asked to see their abbot in the middle of the night without going into details, so he said:
"Eminent Monk, Mr. Lin Jiayuan Tugong from Fuzhou Fuwei Escort Bureau entrusted us to deliver a letter. Please pass the message."

She originally wanted to bring out Lin Yuantu's name, and the other party must pay more attention to it.

Yang Guo had some concerns: before Lin Yuantu returned to secular life, he was the Zen Master Duyuan of the South Shaolin Temple, few people in the world knew about it, and he himself also adopted offspring to hide the truth.

Now that Qu Feiyan said it, and Zen Master Hongye confirmed it, he might have expected that Lin Yuantu was Zen Master Du Yuan, and it might cause some old disputes.

But Yang Guo was relieved immediately: Lin Yuantu didn't say he couldn't report his name, he should have thought about it.But because I have the perspective of God, I have too many scruples, and I am a little unfounded.

Sure enough, when the old monk heard Lin Yuantu's name, his expression changed, and he said, "Well, it turns out that Mr. Lin Jiayuantu asked you to come. You will not explain your purpose until you meet Abbot Hongye in person."

As he spoke, he walked slowly in and disappeared.

Yang Guo and Qu Feiyan looked at each other, they only said that he went inside to report, so they waited at the same place.

After a long time, another young monk came out of the temple, his eyesight was dim, his gait was messy, and he didn't seem to know martial arts.

But there was a refined temperament on his face, he approached, greeted Yang Guo and Qu Feiyan, and announced his identity.

It is the Zhigu monk who is specially responsible for receiving guests in the temple, the monks of the Yuan generation below the Kong character generation, and the dharma name is Yuan'an.

Yang Guo asked: "Master Yuan An, are you going to lead us to meet your abbot Hongye?"

Yuan An was startled when he heard the words, and said: "I haven't heard of this. I was just ordered to take you to the guest room outside the temple to rest, please come with me."

Yang Guo and Qu Feiyan were equally astonished, seeing the old monk just entered the temple, thought he must have reported to Zen Master Hongye, why did a young monk come out and said he didn't know about it?
Yang Guo asked, "Did the old master who was watching the door just now ask you to come out to receive us?"

Yuan An rubbed the back of his head and said, "There are no master gatekeepers in our temple."

Yang Guo and Qu Feiyan were speechless, both felt that this seemingly solid and peaceful thousand-year-old temple was really weird.
