Chapter 56
After a farewell to Chou Nuer, Lu Jian was excited and walked a hundred steps. Suddenly, he felt that the scenery around him was not right. After a closer look, he went in the wrong direction in a hurry. He was about to turn back when he heard the sound of a wooden fish in the distance. The sound, he just smashed Xue Er's "Sorrowful Wooden Fish", he felt something in his heart, and couldn't help but follow the sound.

Passing through a round gate, suddenly the lights are dimly lit, and the sandalwood is dense, but it is a Buddhist hall.Through the carved window, Lu Jian vaguely saw a servant girl beating a wooden fish listlessly, and a gentle and beautiful woman named Qingying clasped her hands together, reciting in a low voice to a statue of Guanyin.

Lu Jian didn't dare to disturb him, standing in the corner of the courtyard, the soft sound of chanting was like cold water, quietly drowning: "... Fu Huan, seeing the prince sitting alone, said in horror: 'My son is like him, sitting alone now? "My son often sees me returning with fruit, running around and amusing me, getting up on the ground, jumping and laughing happily, saying: "Mother is back! The hungry child is full!" If you don't come today, and you can't see where you are, who do you want to benefit? You can talk to each other early. Praying and offering sacrifices to the universe, the situation is hard to say, and it is a good heir. Today, the play has mud cows, mud horses, mud pigs, and miscellaneous things. They are all over the ground. I feel so emotional when I see them. I will go crazy. Will Are tigers, wolves, ghosts, and thieves swallowed? Quickly release the knot, I must die... I must die..."

When the beautiful woman read this scripture, her voice suddenly became sad, and gradually became silent. Lu Jian did not understand the meaning of the scripture, but her mood fluctuated with the tone of her voice.Suddenly the girl was surprised and said: "Mistress, why are you crying again?"

Lu Jian suddenly woke up, and suddenly felt his face was cool, and he stretched out his hand to touch it, and it was full of tears, he couldn't help but secretly blamed himself: "Lu Jian, you are really worthless, do you want to cry even after listening to a few scriptures?"

The beautiful woman was silent for a while, then sighed: "My dear child, you don't know that I am a person who has sinned a lot. I have no other way but to repent before the Buddha every day." The maid said: "The mistress is a rare person in the world. How could a good-hearted person be a sinner? If the mistress is a sinner, there will be no good people in the world."

The beautiful woman said: "In this world, there are some sins that you did not do yourself, but because of you. Those sins are not from this life, but from the previous life. Sigh, maybe I committed many sins in the previous life, so I am doomed to suffer in this life." This newspaper. Child, don't tell Zhouxu and Xiu'er about my tears, lest they worry."

The maid seemed to understand, and said: "Mistress, don't worry, I won't say anything." At this moment, someone in the northwest corner sneered and said: "Shang Qingying, stop pretending to be a good person."

Lu Jian was taken aback, and it was Gu Zhen who was speaking, and he almost greeted him.The two people in the Buddhist hall were also very surprised. The beautiful woman stood up tremblingly, and said in a shy voice, "Who is it...?" Gu Zhen said coldly, "You abandoned a child 13 years ago, right?"

Shang Qingying's jade face changed drastically, and she cried out: "You...how do you know?" Gu Zhen said: "If you want others to know, you have to do nothing about it yourself. Hmph, don't think that asking Buddha and reciting scriptures will give you peace of mind. Let me tell you, not only the Buddha will not forgive you, but that child will hate you for the rest of his life, this crime, this crime, you will never be able to escape in the next life..."

Shang Qingying shook her body, and lamented: "You... who are you?" Gu Zhen said coldly: "You can't even tell who I am? It really is an abandoned son, a dirty and shameless bitch... "

Shang Qingying's eyes lit up, instead of being angry, she blurted out with joy, "You are Zhen'er..." She broke free from her maid, ran out of the Buddhist hall, and shouted, "Zhen'er, is that you..."

There was a moment of silence in the court, Shang Qingying opened his hands and groped around in the darkness, calling out as he touched, "Zhener, Zhener..." His voice gradually choked.Hearing the sound of his clothes ripping through the air, Lu Jian knew that Gu Zhen had gone, sighed secretly, quietly exited the courtyard, and after walking about ten steps, he could still hear Shang Qingying's mournful call.

Lu Jian wanted to catch up with Gu Zhen to ask for clarification, but suddenly he felt something strange behind him, as if someone was following him, and when he looked back, he couldn't see anyone, and when he turned his head again, the strange feeling disappeared.

Lu Jian thought that Gu Zhen was full of cunning tricks, so he must have a wonderful way to get out of the house. He and Xue Er had a word beforehand, so they must not break their promises.Immediately look in the right direction and come to the appointment place with Xue Er, who would have missed someone.It was strange, suddenly saw Shen Zhouxu's study was brightly lit in the distance, so he walked forward, suddenly heard a heavy hum from the study, and Shen Zhouxu's angry shout came from a distance: "You three, there is no face back?"

I only heard Yan Weigui's muffled voice: "It's the young master's intention to let that girl go." Shen Zhou made a noise, but Shen Xiu laughed and said: "This matter is indeed up to the child. The child thought that these three people Sneaking into the Governor's Mansion late at night, they should have been captured. The fear is that they have other accomplices. If the three are captured, the accomplices will be vigilant, and it will not be easy to wipe them out. Therefore, it is better to play hard to capture, let one of them go, and then follow them to find their lair. Catch them all."

When Shen Zhouxu pondered for a while, he suddenly asked: "Have you arranged for someone to track you down?" Shen Xiu smiled and said, "Yes." Shen Zhouxu hummed, and said again: "Where is Mo Yi? What happened to the man you captured?" Lost it?"

Mo Yi was the big-headed man that Lu Jian had seen that day, and he only heard him falter: "I... the person I'm chasing is a brat. One move of Jinshan Temple Town Temple's unique move 'dragon out of the cave', swaying his left hand, bending his waist and knees, swinging his head to the left, turning his right hand into fingers..." Shen Xiu laughed out loud at this point.

Shen Zhouxu said coldly: "Mo Yi, you only need to say the name of the move, as for the change of the move, there is no need to demonstrate it here."

"Yes." Mo Yi replied, "That kid is tall, but his kung fu is very sloppy. I poked his waist in the eye with one finger, squatted down, rolled, and wanted to get up. I used the Yanshan School again. His trick 'Flying Eagle Three Kicks' kicked him three times in a row." Shen Zhouxu said: "So, you have the upper hand? Why did he escape again?"

Mo Yi sighed: "That kid was kicked three times, but he didn't feel annoyed. He smiled and said: 'You said your name is Mo Yi, are you one of the six robber slaves of the Heaven Department' not forgetting life'?" I said:' So what?' The boy said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Mo Yimo has read all books and never forgets. He has always admired him very much." I was happy to hear that, so I said, "You admire me so much. , I won’t beat you, you follow me to see the master obediently.” I don’t want the boy to say: “No, you say you don’t forget your life, do I believe it? It’s said that Mr. Mo Da can say the word ‘Don’t forget your life’ If you don't recite any books in the world, and can perform any martial arts in the world without a single move, you must be a suave and gentle character. You, a guy with a big head, a thin neck, and a wretched appearance, how can you be the famous "never forget life" Mo Da! Where is sir?'”

Shen Zhouxu heard this, and said coldly: "This kid is very deceitful, these words are the first to lure you into the trap." Mo Yi said: "Yes, I was confused at the time, after hearing it, I said angrily : "How can you believe that I am the famous 'Unforgettable' Mr. Mo Da?" The kid said: 'If you are the famous 'Unforgettable' Mr. Mo Da, you should read all books and never forget.' I said: "That's natural." The kid said: "So you can recite any book in the world?" I can recite it.” The kid said with a smile: “Okay, I happen to have a book here, and if you can recite it, I believe you are the famous Mr. Mo Da who never forgets life.” Feeling happy, he said: "Okay, what kind of book is it? You name it, and I will recite it immediately." The boy took out a booklet from his arms and said: "This book is called "The Three Provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian, Disturbing the People and Corrupting Merits." Records of Accepting Bribes, can you memorize it too?' I was dumbfounded when I heard it, and I thought about it for a long time, but I didn’t think of such a book.”

Shen Xiu interjected: "Stupid, how can there be such a book in the world? He must have written it randomly. You haven't read it, so how can you recite it?"

Mo Yi snorted, and said: "You are stupid. It's not that I didn't think of it, but I boasted beforehand. How can I go back on my word? I can only say: 'I haven't read this book. Naturally, I can’t recite it. I only need to read it once, and I can recite it word for word.’.”

Shen Xiu was resentful, snorted, and Shen Zhouxu sighed: "That's a good answer, but I fell into his second trap unknowingly." Mo Yi said: "That's right, when he heard this , smiled and said: "Okay, you can take it and read it, but how long does it take to read it again?" I said: "I read quickly, I can read a page at a glance, this book is only more than 100 pages, a cup of tea It’s enough for me.” The man smiled and said: “Okay, here you are.” I really gave the book to me, I took it to the bright place, read it in a while, turned my head, and was about to recite it to him, but unexpectedly , unexpectedly disappeared.”

Shen Xiu laughed and said: "You still say that you are not stupid? If it were me, I would click on his acupoints first, and then read the book." Mo Yi said angrily, "Okay, you are smart, dare you to compare me with me?" ? The books in this study, everyone just picks up a book, and those who can’t recite it are bastards.” Shen Xiu sneered: “You slave can memorize memorization, but you don’t know how to use it, so you will be fooled and suffer. Back then, Song Taizu’s prime minister, Zhao Pu, was able to govern the world with only half of the Analects, so it can be seen that reading is not a lot, but learning from one instance and comprehending the spirit of the book.”

Mo Yi was silent for a while, and then said: "Okay, when it comes to Song Taizu, Zhao Pu, and the Analects, let's recite "Taizu's Benji", "Zhao Pu Biography", "The Analects" and "Confucius" in "Song History". "Aristocratic Family", back..."

Shen Zhouxu suddenly said, "Shen Xiu's words are not unreasonable. Mo Yi, as a slave to robbery, you can't count on memorizing memorandum, just because if I forget something, I can ask you at any time, not for you to show off your knowledge. However, Shen Xiu's words also have some meaning." What's not right, that kid is full of tricks, maybe he can't make plans according to people, he used this trick against Mo Yi, if it's against you, maybe there are other tricks."

Shen Xiu smiled, and said lightly: "How can I be so easy to deceive?" Shen Zhouxu said coldly: "The battle of wits is more important than fighting strength, and those who underestimate the enemy will definitely lose." Shen Xiu was silent for a while, and said: "Father taught me a lesson Yes, I know my mistake." Mo Yi interjected: "Master, don't believe him, he has a playful smile on his face, and he says he knows his mistake, but he doesn't accept it at all in his heart." Shen Xiu said angrily: "You dog slave, I won't mess with you." You, you're messing with me..."

"Enough!" Shen Zhouxu shouted, "Mo Yi, is the book still there?" Mo Yi said: "Here, I have memorized it all."

When there was silence in the study, Mo Yi suddenly heard surprised: "Master, why did you burn the booklet?" Shen Zhouxu said coldly: "This "Records of Generals of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian Provinces Disturbing People for Corruption and Bribery", you can't understand every single word. Don't let it out, if you let it out, be careful." Mo Yi murmured: "Yes, yes."

Shen Xiudao: "That guy sneaked into the inner house, just in case..." Shen Zhouxu said: "It's okay, with Ning'er here, he can control every move." After a moment of silence, he suddenly said slowly, "Xue Er, do you 'Sorrowful Wooden Fish', the supernatural power among robbers is second only to Ning'er, how did he lose him?"

Xue Er whimpered and cried: "Master, I deserve to die. The man I met was very bad, he broke my wooden fish, and lied to me that he would come to see the master with me to make amends after sending away his companions. He didn't come for a long time, but it happened that the master was called, so I had no choice but to come back."

Shen Xiu smiled and said: "Mo Yi is stupid, you are even more stupid. He asked you to wait, but you just waited foolishly? Now, he is afraid of slipping away, and he is already dozens of miles away." Xue Er twitched authentically : "I only think of him as a good man, and he won't lie to me."

Shen Zhouxu was silent for a long while, and said slowly: "Everything must be rewarded and punished. Yan Weigui and Shen Xiu played hard to catch, to see the effect; Lost the treasure 'Sorrowful Wooden Fish', and even more falsely believed in the enemy's words, and let the powerful enemy go, the crime is unforgivable, and I will punish you to endure the 'Dark Tribulation' for an hour."

Xue Er screamed: "Master, spare your life, Master, spare your life." Shen Zhouxu snorted coldly, and said, "It's all gone." At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute." Lu Jian opened the door and responded into the study.

Everyone was surprised when they saw him.Xue Er was overjoyed, grabbed Lu Jian, laughed and said, "You didn't run away, you didn't run away." Turning to Shen Zhouxu, he said, "Master, I'm talking about him."

Lu Jian nodded and said: "I was the one who trespassed on the noble house, and I was the one who trampled on the heartless wooden fish. Mr. Shen, don't punish Xue Er. He lost the wooden fish. It's not that he was indecent, but he lost to me because of his lack of strength. "

Shen Zhouxu picked up the teacup on the table, blew away the powdered tea, and said with a smile to Lu Jian: "We seem to have seen each other before. That day at Shiliting, you were by General Qi's side." Lu Jian said: "General Qi is my sworn brother, Thank you Mr. Shen for interceding for him." After saying that, he bowed his hands and saluted.

Shen Zhouxu pondered for a while, and said with a smile, "Did you sneak into the Governor's Mansion because of Qi Jiguang?" Lu Jiandao: "I promised Xue Er that I would help him to pay for his crime, how could I not keep my word?"

When Shen Xiu heard this, she sneered and said, "Another idiot." Shen Zhouxu's expression changed slightly, and he shouted, "Shut up, what do you know?" He didn't say a word, but he hated Lu Jian so much in his heart.

Shen Zhouxu said again: "You and Xue Er are neither enemies nor friends, why should you help him to pay for his crimes?" Lu Jian smiled bitterly: "Because Lu is also a robber slave and knows the suffering of the 'Heitian Tribulation' well, if it is because of me Let him be robbed, even if I run away, I won't feel at peace."

As soon as the words came out, the three robber slaves in the room looked at Lu Jian, each showing a weird look, Xue Er blinked his small eyes, and his big ears flapped; Mo Yi was chanting, but his eyes blinked, as if they had been dusted; Yan Weigui's face was still covered by the bamboo hat, but the two eyes under the bamboo hat became brighter and brighter.

Lu Jian said again: "Mr. Shen, Xue Er is not to blame. If you want to kill or cut, you are coming at me." Shen Xiu saw the expressions of the robbers, and for some reason, she was full of displeasure, and sneered: "What are you trying to do?" Hero, if you have the ability to break into the governor's mansion in an open and honest manner, why should you be sneaky? Sneaking in late at night, in the final analysis, is just a coward."

Lu Jian glanced at him, and said coldly: "I'm a coward, and I'm better than you killing the weak and seducing nuns." Shen Xiu's heart skipped a beat, and she shouted, "Boy, how dare you slander Shen?" Lu Jian said: "Whether it's slander or not, you know for yourself."

Shen Xiu was flustered in her heart, but her face remained calm, and she said coldly, "You are talking nonsense, are you crazy?" Without waiting for Lu Jian to speak, she cupped her hands at Shen Zhouxu, "Father, it is true that this person slanders the child. Hateful, the boy wants to personally punish him."

Shen Zhouxu was noncommittal, and said indifferently: "What if you lose?" Shen Xiu was stunned, but Mo Yi said: "You deserve it if you lose, everyone don't help Shen Xiu this time, you bastard, do you hear me?" Looking at Yan Weigui, Yan Weigui said angrily: "Bookworm, who are you scolding? If you don't help, you don't help, who cares?"

Xue Er also said: "And Ning'er, you are not allowed to help Shen Xiu." Only a woman's voice in the night said: "I will not help him!"

Shen Xiu was so angry that blood welled up her cheeks, and said with a sneer, "Who wants your help? Am I going to lose to this bumpkin? What a joke." She waved to Lu Jian, "Come to the yard." Pulling up her robe, she went to In the courtyard.

Lu Jianwei felt hesitant, but Mo Yi said: "Don't be afraid, fight with him, if you lose, you will die, but if you win, you will gain nothing." Xue Er clapped his hands and said, "That's right." Shen Zhouxu sighed suddenly: "You two, whose Jie slave is it?" Mo and Xue were startled, they looked at Shen Zhouxu with four eyes, but saw his expression was indifferent, they didn't know what he was thinking.

When Lu Jian came to the court, he saw Shen Xiu with his sleeves hanging down and his eyes were fierce. He couldn't help but think, "This guy knows 'Tian Luo', but unfortunately I didn't see it clearly when Zhou Zumo used it last time. Either it will be a little difficult to deal with it." grasp."

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly saw Shen Xiu throwing up her airs and shouting: "What are you in a daze for?" She split her palms and split them over. He struck out quickly and hard, and with a single shake, Lu Jian's left shoulder and right chest were hit with one palm each. , It hurts so much.
