Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 200

It was dark that day, and Li Wenxuan and Zijing went to Putian Temple together. At the beginning of the journey, Zijing jumped away, falling down the steep slope in front of Meifeng Temple, without considering where Li Wenxuan was and whether he could catch up with him .Zi Jing went down to a distance of less than half, and looked back, Li Wenxuan was closely chasing after him two or three feet away.Zijing didn't say anything, but nodded secretly in her heart. She didn't expect that Li Wenxuan's body skills would improve so fast without observing Li Wenxuan secretly these days, and she was very relieved for a while.

Li Wenxuan followed closely behind Zijing. Although Zijing was happy, he thought he was used to arrogance. If he couldn't leave his apprentice far behind, it would be a bit of a loss to his face, so Zijing said Not to mention, but he secretly used his feet to rush down, thinking that Li Wenxuan would definitely not be able to catch up with him this time, but he didn't expect that after walking a certain distance, when he looked back, he secretly exclaimed in his heart. Unexpectedly, Li Wenxuan was only less than two feet behind just now, but Li Wenxuan caught up again with the time he turned his head.

Zijing was not very happy in her heart, and she couldn't say whether she was competing with herself or Li Wenxuan. In the second half of the journey, she mustered all her strength and walked as fast as she could. Li Wenxuan must be left far behind. What's more, in the end, he saw that it was difficult to go, so he chose to go there, hoping to see if Li Wenxuan could still catch up.

Li Wenxuan and Zijing set off together. Due to the difference in seniority, they did not dare to keep pace with their master, so at first they deliberately stepped back and followed from a distance. But for some reason, his master suddenly moved faster, and Li Wenxuan It's not easy to ask, so I can only continue to follow behind. Later, when I saw that the master picked those difficult places, Li Wenxuan decided that the master was trying to test his own skills. Chasing forward vigorously, trying to win the favor of the master, in the end the two of them were one behind the other, although Li Wenxuan did not catch up, but the two of them were not too far away from each other.

When the two arrived at Putian Temple, after all, Zijing was still there for her age, and it had been a long time since she had done light work so desperately. Can press hard.Li Wenxuan is not the case. Although this trip is exhausting enough, but outside the Putian Temple, it is time to rest and take a break. He should not hide it at all. Looking at his master, at such an age, he has come all the way. He couldn't stop breathing, his physical strength was really many times better than that of this young man, and he was even more impressed in his heart.

Zijing calmed down for a while, regained some strength, and then continued to lead Li Wenxuan across the gate wall and headed straight for Tianjuan Tower.

When the two arrived at Tianjuanlou, Li Wenxuan first took a look at the grove and saw that his heart had not come, and then followed Zijing into Tianjuanlou, but this time he didn't jump through the window, but walked in from the main entrance. of.

There was still no light in Tianjuan Building, it was pitch black, Li Wenxuan couldn't see at first, but after a while, it gradually got better, but Zijing was not, and I don't know if he could see it or look inside. The decorations are all too familiar, so Li Wenxuan walked in quickly regardless of Li Wenxuan. After a while, Li Wenxuan listened to Zijing's footsteps and chased after him.

Li Wenxuan walked to the innermost part of the Tianjuan Tower, and saw Zijing facing a Buddha statue in a blur. Li Wenxuan could only see a faint shadow. As for which Bodhisattva was enshrined in front, he couldn't see clearly.

Zijing seemed to be lowering her head, not sure if she was meditating or waiting for something. Li Wenxuan waited for a meal in the back, feeling a little anxious, and was about to ask, but saw Zijing kneeling in front of her. On a tattered futon.

Li Wenxuan was wondering, and heard Zijing say: "Wenxuan, you kneel down too."

"Oh." Although Li Wenxuan didn't know what Zijing meant, but the master told him to kneel, he didn't think much, and just knelt down.

Just as Li Wenxuan knelt down, he saw Zijing's shoulders shrugging. After a while, he gradually heard the sound of crying, and this sound belonged to Zijing. For a long time, the master has an unruly personality, eccentric but also kind. He used to be a monk, but now he is an old urchin who loves wine and joy. For such a free and easy person, what else can make him cry?

Zijing's crying became louder and louder. At first it was a soft sob, but later it turned into a loud cry. Li Wenxuan's heart was in a state of confusion, and he couldn't help but feel very uncomfortable. He didn't know whether he should go forward to comfort Master, or So kneeling behind.

Finally, Zijing's crying stopped, and after a short rest, she cleared her throat and said slowly: "Wenxuan, I will hand over the marrow washing sutra to you now, but there are still some things that the master has to tell you in the future." ahead."

"Oh... Master please admonish me, Wen Xuan listens respectfully." When Li Wenxuan opened his mouth, he felt that his voice was very hoarse, as if he had cried a lot, and when he stroked his face again, there were actually many tears.

Zi Jing said slowly: "Wenxuan, during the day, because of Su Yatou, Su Yatou was very kind to you, but...well, there are some things I didn't say at the time, and I will tell you when I come here."

Li Wenxuan felt strange in his heart, what was it that he couldn't tell Su Qingxue in front of Su Qingxue, he had to be alone to talk to himself?

Zijing continued: "Let me ask you, what do you plan to do with the kung fu I taught you after you practice it?"

In the past, Li Wenxuan told Zijing about his desire to join the army, and also told Zijing about his acquaintance with Yang Zaixing, but he didn't know why Zijing brought up the old story again. When he asked this again, Li Wenxuan had no choice but to act like himself. The original idea, said: "Wenxuan will succeed in his studies in the future, and he only wants to join the army, put on a strong coat of arms, and go northward on horseback to drive out the Tartars!"

Zijing asked: "Why did you do this? If you have all the skills, it is easy to exchange for peace and wealth, and it is only a matter of time before you want to occupy a place in the arena. That's all the problem, why do you join the army? You need to know that on the battlefield, a sword has no eyes. Even if you have a peerless skill and hold the world's most powerful weapon, you are just an ant under the roar of thousands of troops. One life, one death, but in an instant, can you tell me why you chose this path?"

Li Wenxuan was silent for a moment, and said: "The golden people occupied our Song land and captured the people of Song Dynasty. A man should serve the country and the people. If he really dies in battle in the future, he will have no regrets!"

Zijing asked again: "Well, what you said is awe-inspiring. If one day, the love of children, brotherhood, and the great cause of serving the country and the people you said are one on the left and the other on the right, the two cannot have both." , how would you choose?"

Li Wenxuan's heart trembled, and he asked, "Master...you mean Qingxue?"

Zijing said: "You don't care who I'm talking about, it may be Su Yatou, or someone else, I just ask you, how would you choose between the two?"

Li Wenxuan originally wanted to say that he chose to serve the country and the people, but then he thought about it, a friend like Qiu Shan, a confidant like Su Qingxue, did he really think that he could let go when he said he could let go?If you have to say that you only have family and country in your heart and no relatives, then you are just deceiving yourself, so you said: "Wen Xuan dare not lie to Master, I can't say that well, Wen Xuan doesn't know if I can only choose one of them. When it comes to time, I will choose that one, but...Wenxuan just wants to be ashamed of my heart!"

"Have no regrets? Well, you answered that you have no shame, oh, no shame... Do you know that the most difficult thing to do in this world is to have no shame!" Zijing said, slowly He stood up, jumped onto the altar, and said to Li Wenxuan: "Wenxuan, come here, I will give you this marrow washing scripture today, I hope I have not misunderstood the person."

Li Wenxuan also went up to the altar according to Zijing's instructions, and said, "My disciple is very grateful to Master, and I will definitely live up to Master's teachings!"

Zi Jing caressed the Buddha statue beside him, and said: "The marrow washing sutra is hidden under this Buddha statue. There is a bluestone slab in the middle of the Buddha statue. After a while, you and I will work together to lift a corner of the Buddha statue, and then I will support the Buddha statue. Quickly open the bluestone slab and take out the marrow washing sutra, you must be quick, this Buddha statue weighs more than a thousand catties, if I miss it and the Buddha statue falls, you will be crushed to pieces immediately." Zijing said, and handed Li Wenxuan a dagger , for Li Wenxuan to pry open the bluestone slab.

Li Wenxuan nodded and took the dagger, and tried the weight of the Buddha statue himself first, but he tried his best, but the Buddha statue did not move at all, so he knew what Zijing said was true, if such a heavy Buddha statue fell on his body, there would be no survivors reason.

Under Zijing's signal, the two of them worked together to lift the Buddha statue. Li Wenxuan thought to himself that if he had double the strength, it would be difficult to lift this disfigured statue, so he estimated that the master's strength was stronger than his own. Not a lot.Then Zijing moved under the Buddha statue with her hands upside down, and said, "Quick—take it!"

"En!" Li Wenxuan agreed, and immediately let go, only to see Zijing's body sway slightly, and then stabilized again. Li Wenxuan knew that Zijing's support alone would take a lot of energy, so without much hesitation, he took out the dagger and got under the Buddha statue. But there are bluestone slabs under the Buddha statue, and Li Wenxuan didn't know which one was the right one. In desperation, he had to knock one by one to listen to the sound to see which bluestone slab was empty. Finally, when Li Wenxuan hit the fourth fastest, he heard There was a buzzing echo under the bluestone slab, and I was overjoyed, so I used a dagger to pry up the bluestone slab, and reached out to touch it, and there was indeed an oilcloth bag.Li Wenxuan took out the oilcloth bag and immediately turned over and retreated. Just as Li Wenxuan got out from under the Buddha statue, the Buddha statue fell down with a bang, and thick layers of dust swirled around.

Li Wenxuan didn't care about the dust, and said excitedly: "Master, look, Wenxuan got it!"

Li Wenxuan was very happy, but he didn't listen to Zijing's answer. Li Wenxuan took two steps forward and saw Zijing sitting on the ground paralyzed. When Li Wenxuan came out, Zijing lost all strength as soon as she let go, and couldn't even support her own body.

Li Wenxuan originally wanted to open the package and take a closer look, but at this moment, he couldn't care less, fearing that something might happen to Zijing because of his age, he hurriedly helped Zijing, trying to get some internal strength to pass, but Zijing waved his hand , Said: "Don't... get in the way, rest... rest, it will be fine."

Li Wenxuan still felt sorry for the master, so he helped Zijing to lie down, and he stayed on the sidelines, not bothering to look at the things in the oilcloth bag.

After all, Zijing has many years of skill as a foundation. After half an hour, his expression gradually became harmonious, and his breathing was even. It seemed to be no problem, and Li Wenxuan was very relieved.Zi Jing said: "You're not a coward. Are you not afraid that if I let go, I'll make you into a meat sauce?"

"Ah? No... no way..." Li Wenxuan was only thinking of going in to get things before, but he didn't think too much of the danger, but the master suddenly said this, and then glanced at the Buddha statue beside him, thinking about the situation just now, If Master Cai really didn't hold back and let go of his hand...to take his own life... Li Wenxuan couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Seeing that Li Wenxuan's face turned green, Zijing smiled and said, "Boy, let's forget about today, and don't do this kind of thing in the future. Don't trust people easily. It doesn't matter if you trust the master. What if you trust the wrong villain? Others If you want to harm you, it's too easy, you'd better be careful with your own life!"

Li Wenxuan didn't understand why the master took the topic far away, but he could only nod in agreement.

Zijing rested for a while, and said: "Let's go, let's go out together, the little monk has arrived, and the old man also saw the kid."

"Have you got your heart?" There is still a distance from Tianjuanlou to the small forest. Li Wenxuan does not believe that Zijing's hearing can reach such a level. Although he followed Zijing out of Tianjuanlou, but in his heart is Dubious.

Li Wenxuan stuffed the oilcloth in his arms, and the master and apprentice went out of the Tianjuan Building one after the other. Sure enough, they saw a small figure outside the woods from a distance, and Li Wenxuan was amazed. I couldn't help admiring Zijing even more.

I got my heart and saw someone coming from a distance, but it was different from yesterday, there were two people coming from the other side. I couldn't see the face of the person at night. I was afraid that other monks passed by here. If I was seen, I would be sure. Too bad, so I hid behind a big tree and looked out secretly, but the two figures seemed to be running towards me, getting closer and closer, my heart was beating non-stop, and I hid myself It's so serious that I don't dare to look at it any more.

After a while, I didn't see any movement outside, nor did I see the two people coming, so I slowly poked my head out, and sure enough, the outside was empty, and there was no one there, so I breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go out. I went to wait for Li Wenxuan again, but when I glanced sideways, I didn't know when there was an old man with ragged clothes and a gray beard beside me.

This forest is very secluded, even though it is in a Buddhist temple, even timid monks dare not wander alone in this forest, they only thought that they saw some fairy spirits and ghosts, and they wanted to yell, but Looking at the face of the old man in front of me, he was very kind, he didn't look like a bad guy, let alone a ghost who can eat human flesh. Now he became more courageous, and asked tremblingly, "You are?"

Zijing smiled and said: "You don't know who I am, but I know you. You have a heart, right?"

Nodding in agreement, he asked, "Mr., how do you know my name? Have we met before?"

Zijing said again: "I have seen you, and you have seen me, but I recognize you when I see you, but you don't recognize me when you see me."

Zi Jing's three or two words immediately confused her mind. How could she tell what she had seen or not, or who she knew or not?Simply ask directly: "Mr., who are you? Why are you here?"

Zijing didn't answer him, but said: "I also know that you like to steal food. You always catch pheasants and rabbits in this forest, and then secretly take them to the kitchen to roast and eat them, right?"

I was terrified in my heart, for fear that the old man would reveal his fault, and asked, "You...you...how do you know all about it?"

Zijing took a step forward, approached her heart, and said again: "I know more than that. I also know that you know a man outside the temple. He took away all the things you got and ate them, right? ? I want to ask you now, who is that man?"

Liao Xin suddenly realized, and said in his heart: "So this person came to look for Big Brother. I heard that many people wanted to harm Big Brother. They must be Big Brother's enemy. I can't tell him." Said: "I... I don't know."

Zijing continued: "You don't know? Don't think you are a child, the old man can't bear to do anything to you. I saw you and that person meeting in the woods last night, right?"

"How did you know? It's just the two of us..." As soon as he opened his mouth, he knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, but it was too late to take it back, so he turned around and wanted to run, but he took a step forward, and the old man didn't know when He walked around in front of him, and ended up bumping into his arms.

Zijing said again: "I'll ask you again, if you don't tell me who that person is, I'll tell your senior uncle about the food you stole. You will definitely be expelled from Putian Temple, are you afraid?"

In my heart, I only felt that the five thunders were on the top, I didn't expect that this person was so old, he would threaten me like this, and thinking of the angry look of the old monk Ziqing, I couldn't help trembling, but thinking about Li Wenxuan taking good care of me, I also recognized Su Qingxue as my sister, and the two of them gave me the Melting Snow Sword as a token, and regarded myself as my real brother, how could I do such an unrighteous thing of betraying my relatives and friends?Although Liao Xin was young, when he thought of these embarrassing things, he couldn't help but burst into tears, but he said in his mouth, "Even if you beat me to death, I won't say anything!"

After thinking about it, he turned around and ran again, but his head hit another person, but the feeling of this person bumping into him was different, as if the person's body deliberately stepped back a little, for fear of hitting himself.Looking up with concern, he immediately broke into a smile and said, "Big Brother!"
