The Beacon of Kyushu

"Ah... Amitabha..." Bao En said weakly after a pause, "I have no regrets in dying for the Central Plains martial arts and the people. But the abbot is old and my life is in danger. If I really die here, the burden of Shaolin will fall on you. You must remember that monks must not break the precepts, commit treason, or do anything that is detrimental to the Song Dynasty. Otherwise, I will never be able to rest in peace after my death, and I will not be able to face the Buddha in the West."

Guangji and Guangqing both held Bao En's hand and cried bitterly. But they had only cried a few times when the door was pushed open by Wan Jianfeng. The three of them were shocked. Wan Jianfeng shook the antidote in his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you two are dead, how unlucky! It's better to save your voice and wait for a few decades until he really dies before crying!"

The two knew that there must be a chance of a turn for the better, so they stopped crying and said in disbelief, "Master Wan, are you really going to get the antidote?"

Wan Jianfeng patted his chest and said, "Of course, don't you see who I am! As long as I am willing, there is no one in this world that I can't deal with, and there is nothing I can't do! The antidote is in this bottle. As for the trivial matter of detoxification, I will let the little Taoist priest do it for me."

Zhang Xubai smiled shyly, took the medicine bottle from Wan Jianfeng, and walked to Baoen, "Master, let me feel your pulse first. As long as the pulse is not completely disordered, the disease can be cured." After he said that, he slowly sat down on the edge of the couch and reached out to feel Baoen's pulse. He felt that Baoen's pulse was sometimes slow and sometimes fast, which was very strange, but with his own Zhoutian Zhengqi Pills, he was not terminally ill.

Guangji was impatient and asked first: "Little Heavenly Master, is there an antidote to my master's poison?"

Zhang Xubai poured out three red and black pills from the medicine bottle and handed them to Guangji, saying, "Take this medicine three times a day, three pills at a time. After five days, the poison in Master's body will be completely eliminated."

Guangji took the pills with great joy, while Guangqing quickly went to get a bowl of water and helped Baoen take the antidote. It was strange that Baoen was clearly on his deathbed just now, but within a few minutes of taking the antidote, he recovered like an ordinary person. However, after so many days of torture, he could only walk around reluctantly, and he could not use his martial arts immediately.

Bao En rested for a while on the bed, then stood up and said, "Amitabha, thank you Young Master Wan and Little Heavenly Master for saving my life. If you two can be of any use to my Shaolin in the future, I will definitely do my best to repay you two for your kindness!"

Wan Jianfeng smiled and said, "Haha, the master saved me that day in Lonely Soul Gorge. Although it was a good thing, it's really uncomfortable to owe someone a favor. Don't worry about you laughing at me, since that day, I haven't slept for several days. Now, I've got the antidote for you, and we're even now. I can finally sleep peacefully."

Zhang Xubai said: "Master, whether it is your Buddhism or our Taoism, we all emphasize accumulating virtue and doing good deeds. Today, I just did it for the sake of convenience. If I can really save your life, I will accumulate a lot of blessings. In this case, I want to thank you, Master."

Bao En laughed and said, "Haha, you two are so young, but your realm is so high. I admire you!" Guangji and Guangqing were so excited to see that the master had recovered a lot, and they thanked him repeatedly. If it weren't for the difference between Buddhism and Taoism, they really wanted to kneel down and kowtow to them.

Zhang Xubai waved his whisk and said softly, "Master, although the poison in your body has been relieved a lot, you still need to take good care of yourself. We will not disturb your rest." Wan Jianfeng nodded, "Yes, now we understand. Don't just stand here stupidly. Let's go to the front and have a drink!" Seeing that the two were about to leave, Guangji and Guangqing hurriedly thanked them and sent them out the door.

That night, the moonlight was dim.

Sun Quanxing sat upright on a chair in the main hall of the government office, looking at the deputy generals in the hall with his eyes, but he was not in a hurry to speak. The deputy generals were all wearing armor, with swords hanging from their waists. Some of them showed some embarrassment, while most of them had fierce eyes. After a while, Sun Quanxing stood up from the chair and walked to the hall, "Everyone, since we have surrendered to Qu Yue, we must act according to the orders of Lord Fan. Tonight, Wan Jianfeng and Zhang Xubai are drinking in Yuying Manor, Gao Chujun is patrolling by the river, and Wang Shize, Kou Zhun and other three scholars are staying in the inn. We must annihilate all three groups of people, so that we can live up to the trust placed in us by General Fan!"

After hearing this, Wang Jin asked, "General Sun, it's easy to deal with others, but Wan Jianfeng is full of tricks and Gao Chujun's spear skills are amazing. With all the soldiers we have now, who can be their opponent?"

Jia Xi thought: "General Sun, if I am not wrong, you must have a good plan!"

Sun Quanxing smiled coldly and said, "In my opinion, we should send a team to set fire to Yuying Manor, and then order a group of archers to ambush around Yuying Manor. No matter how good Wan Jianfeng is at drinking, he will be drunk after drinking for so many hours. What can he do? As for the other people in the manor, they are either poisoned and unable to move, or their martial arts are mediocre. Even if they don't die in the fire, they will be shot to death. After the fire starts, send a scout to Gao Chujun to pass the message. He will definitely return to the city to check. At that time, we will ambush a group of soldiers at the city gate and take his head. Once these martial arts masters die, the three literati in the inn will become fish on the chopping board. What kind of trouble can they cause? As long as the plan goes well, these so-called masters will die in an instant, and we can go to General Fan to collect the reward!"

After hearing Sun Quanxing's plan, everyone felt more or less confident. The hesitant lieutenants also became excited. Seeing that everyone had no objections, Sun Quanxing immediately assigned his men and led nearly a thousand soldiers to attack Yuying Manor. Sun Quanxing had been humiliated several times in Yuying Manor, and Hua Luoying had made him want her but couldn't get her several times. Sun Quanxing would never let others get what he couldn't get. When the plan tonight succeeds, Yuying Manor will become a scorched earth, and Hua Luoying will also become a dry skeleton. How could Sun Quanxing not feel happy in his regret?

Soon, Sun Quanxing led his men to surround Yuying Manor. Under his instruction, many soldiers threw torches into the manor recklessly. The archers did not dare to slack off. Everyone held a bow and arrow. Anyone who dared to escape from the manor would be shot. In an instant, a warm and elegant manor was ruthlessly devoured by the fire. The wooden house was "crackling" in the fire, the solid wood tables and chairs were reduced to ashes in the fire, and even the tall cherry tree in the yard could not escape alone, and finally bloomed "red flowers" in the fire.

The bright flames illuminated the sky with a fiery red, and thick black smoke rose straight into the sky. Sun Quanxing looked at his "masterpiece" and couldn't help laughing. "Hahaha, Wan Jianfeng, don't you always humiliate me? If you have the guts, come out and fight me! Hua Luoying, don't you reject me every time? Fine, tonight I will turn a beauty like you into charred bones, and then we'll see if your dignity can still be attractive!"

A scout saw the fire and asked Sun Quanxing, "General, when can I bring Gao Chujun into the city? Please tell me." (End of this chapter)
