Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 216
When Li Wenxuan first arrived in Lin'an, he received the number of acupuncture points from Su Xiaotian himself. Although the two of them didn't spend much time together, Li Wenxuan and Su Qingxue also had a lot of "comparisons" all the way south. Kungfu is already proficient.Li Wenxuan looked at the acupuncture points on Ziming's left breast, and knew that what Ziming said was true, and he was also secretly surprised: "Abbot Ziming is the master's senior brother. It is said that even if his skill is not as good as the master's, the two should get along with each other." Almost, is there anyone in this world who can strike at Abbot Ziming’s vital acupuncture points in front of him? It’s really strange, but...but I’m in a hurry to leave this Putian Temple now, Ziqing has been injured, everyone The Xumi Formation was also broken by me. The person I fear now is only Abbot Ziming, but he actually told me that he has no power at this time. Isn’t that self-destructing the Great Wall? Who else in the temple can stop me? It's just..."

Ziming opened up to Li Wenxuan and treated each other with sincerity. On the contrary, it made Li Wenxuan difficult. Since Ziming told Li Wenxuan openly that he could not perform martial arts for the time being, no matter what Li Wenxuan was doing, he must not take advantage of others' dangers to make trouble with the abbot. But Abbot Ziming invited Li Wenxuan to the backyard to have a talk, and Li Wenxuan was afraid of being ambushed by Abbot Ziming. When he was in a dilemma, he tugged on Li Wenxuan's sleeve and said, "Big Brother, I don't think Master Abbot is right. It will be deceiving, why don't we go with Master Abbot?"

Li Wenxuan said with a wry smile: "Why, don't worry, don't you worry that we will be trapped again?"

Startled, he soon remembered the danger before, probably a little scared, looked at Li Wenxuan, hoped that Ziming would come, and stopped talking.

Li Wenxuan sighed, looked back at the monks who besieged him just now, and then waved his wrist, and in a flash of cold light, he used the Qingshuang sword to circle nine sword flowers in the air in an instant. , and then Li Wenxuan put the Qingshuang sword into the scabbard, and said: "Master Abbot, Wenxuan will trust you once today! Wenxuan can go with you, but if someone wants to use tricks to harm me again, my Qingshuang Under the sword, I will never forgive anyone!" After Li Wenxuan finished speaking, he turned his head again, and looked at the stick monks who had fought with him just now with contemptuous eyes, meaning that you know my sword skills, it is best not to move What a crooked mind, otherwise don't blame me for being rude.

Abbot Ziming seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said repeatedly: "Okay! Okay! Okay!" Then he led Li Wenxuan out of the crowd. Several monks saw that Abbot Ziming didn't intend to embarrass Li Wenxuan, and even took Li Wenxuan away in person. Here, everyone's painstaking efforts were in vain, although they looked sullen, but due to the majesty of the abbot, no one dared to say a word.

Ziming took two steps, then suddenly turned around and said: "Benefactor Li, you can leave Putian Temple after tonight. If you take Xin to go down the mountain tomorrow, it may be difficult for you to see his master again. Why don't you come with the old monk, the master of Xinxin was injured just now, let Xin go to see Jueyin first, let the two master and apprentice share more about the friendship between master and apprentice when parting, what do you think? ?”

Li Wenxuan had doubts in his heart at first, and he was afraid that he would be arrested again when he left his side, and he would be sent to the Discipline Hall and other places where he would be beaten, but when he heard the abbot said that he should go to see the master, he immediately grabbed him. In front of Li Wenxuan, he directly agreed: "Okay, I will go to see my master, and I will kowtow to the master."

Ziming looked at Li Wenxuan's expression, guessed the worries in Li Wenxuan's heart, and said: "You can rest assured, I will ask someone to tell you to go to Jueyin, and there must be no one with him along the way. It’s embarrassing, and no one will be held accountable for what happened before, so you can rest assured and let him go.”

After all the words were said, Li Wenxuan couldn't say anything more, so he had to agree with the abbot, and told Xin more, and then he was led by two monks to find Jueyin, and Li Wenxuan followed alone. Abbot Ziming left, and there were few other monks accompanying him on the road. After turning a few corners between the monk's rooms, the two entered a meditation room.

There is only one table and one couch in this meditation room. There is a set of tea sets on the table, a few wooden chairs beside it, and a few calligraphy and paintings on the wall. All the decorations are very simple. of residence.Li Wenxuan was somewhat restrained here, Ziming saw this, and motioned for Li Wenxuan to sit aside, Li Wenxuan couldn't sit down first, so he stood aside, Ziming sat down first, Li Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then sat down at ease down.

Li Wenxuan didn't know why Ziming asked him to come here this time. He was uneasy at first, but the two sat silently for a while, Ziming just kept silent, and Li Wenxuan couldn't help but just wanted to talk to each other. Inquired, but heard someone outside the Zen room knocking lightly on the door, saying: "Abbot, the vegetarian food you want to prepare has been delivered."

"Bring in the vegetarian food." Zi Ming lightly agreed, and saw a monk who happened to be the monk who brought in the poisoned food in the kitchen before, and at this time he came in with another tray .

As soon as Li Wenxuan saw this person, he was not angry. It was precisely because he poisoned him that he would be able to suffer less tonight. If it wasn't for Ziming's presence at this time, Li Wenxuan would definitely rush to kill him. The monk repaired it well.

The monk was very calm, as if he didn't see Li Wenxuan here at all, and the poisoning incident never happened before. He took out the things on the tray and placed them next to Li Wenxuan, and then saluted Ziming. Seeing that Ziming had no other orders, he closed the door and went out.

What the monk put on the table was a bowl of porridge, a small plate of steamed stuffed buns, and a stack of pickled vegetables, all of which Li Wenxuan usually sneaked into the kitchen of Putian Temple in the middle of the night. When Li Wenxuan saw these foods, Even more puzzled, he thought to himself: "Abbot Ziming called me here at night, could it be that he invited me to eat your vegetarian food? I have been eating your vegetarian food for several months."

Ziming smiled and said: "I see you have been fighting with people all night, and you have exhausted a lot of energy. I am afraid you are already hungry. I sent someone to the kitchen to find some vegetarian food, but the vegetarian food is not good. Also, don’t be disgusted with Li benefactor, just make do with it and eat some first.”

Li Wenxuan had been tossing and tossing enough this night. He was already exhausted and hungry. Seeing that Ziming had such a kind intention, he should be happy to accept it. Abbot Ziming also fought with himself like Ziqing did, so what should he do with that one?So he declined politely: "Master Abbot, Wenxuan... Wenxuan thank you for your kindness, but Wenxuan is not hungry."

Ziming laughed and said, "Are you still worried that the old monk will harm you?"

Li Wenxuan said in a deep voice: "Wenxuan dare not doubt Master Abbot, it's just that the master called Wenxuan to come here, and he asked Master to tell you what happened."

Ziming said again: "If my junior brother Ziqing was here, with his open-minded temperament, under the circumstances, he would definitely not suspect that I tampered with the food, he would definitely eat it up and wipe it all away. And Kong, you are his apprentice, how come you only learned his kung fu, but didn't learn the courage and heart?"

"Didn't Abbot Ziming just say that I'm timid and narrow-minded?" Li Wenxuan was quite unhappy when Ziming said this, although he said that he was not as good as his master. With a friendly face, one cannot bear to suspect that this old monk is also a person who can do things secretly. If it is said that such a person is untrustworthy, there are few people in the world who can be trusted.

Li Wenxuan shook his head: "Forget it, what can I do if I just eat it? I ate all the meals that were filled with cartilage powder before, so it's just as good as it is now? The things in front of me, even if they are really cooked. What kind of hands and feet, what's the matter? As long as I use the Marrow Washing Sutra, I can use my kung fu to force poison." Li Wenxuan then said: "Thank you abbot for your kindness, then Wenxuan will be disrespectful." After Li Wenxuan said that, he was not polite at all. , a steamed stuffed bun and a mouthful of soup, it tastes delicious, and I ate up the contents of the tray in a short while.

Seeing that Li Wenxuan was eating happily, Ziming seemed to be happy too. He only waited for Li Wenxuan to wipe his mouth before he said, "It seems that the Marrow Washing Sutra is really amazing. You are not even afraid of Ziqing's poisoning, so it's no wonder you You can be so confident and bold when eating these meals.”

Li Wenxuan smiled and said: "That's right, it's all thanks to the master..." Li Wenxuan was half-speaking, suddenly startled in his heart, and said: "You—how did you know about the marrow washing sutra?"

Ziming patted Li Wenxuan on the shoulder lightly, and said: "Don't be nervous, I have no malicious intentions, since I am the abbot of Putian Temple, and the Sutra of Washing the Marrow is a property of my Putian Temple, I know these things, and it makes sense among them."

Li Wenxuan said: "But... but about the marrow washing sutra, how could you... only master and I know about this matter, even if Qingxue has a heart, they don't know the details of it."

Ziming said again: "Just now I saw you fighting with the disciples of our temple. If I read it correctly, Zijing should have taught you the great move and move method and the Bodhidharma sword method among the 32 unique skills, right?"

Li Wenxuan nodded, and said: "Yes, the master taught me those kung fu, but... but the old master of the marrow washing sutra only let me practice, but he himself has not read the content of the marrow washing sutra, let alone Practice."

"Oh, so that's how it is..." Ziming was thoughtful, and after a while, he said again: "In the past hundred years, the Sutra of Washing the Marrow has finally been practiced by someone with predestined relationship.

Li Wenxuan asked: "Master... how did you know that I practiced the Marrow Cleansing Sutra?"

Ziming smiled and said: "Many years ago, there was an accident in my Putian Temple. Since then, only my teacher and disciple Jing know where the marrow washing sutra is placed, and you are his disciple. Of course you are the only one who got the Marrow Washing Sutra. I have been in the temple for many years. I just ate the cartilage powder from Ziqing and the others, I am afraid that I would have fallen to the ground with soreness and weakness, and was caught by Ziqing and the others, how could you talk to me here so peacefully?"

Ziming told Li Wenxuan thousands of times that day that Li Wenxuan must keep the secret of the Marrow Cleansing Sutra, but Li Wenxuan never expected that this matter would be easily exposed by Ziming, and he was very upset and asked: "Abbot Master, I am not a disciple of Putian Temple, but I have practiced kung fu of your temple, you... what are you going to do?"

Ziming asked back: "Oh? What should I do? Do you think I should arrest you like Ziqing, and then revoke your martial arts, and face the wall in my Putian Temple for three years?"

Li Wenxuan bowed his head and remained silent, obviously thinking that from the standpoint of Putian Temple, Ziqing's approach was actually not wrong.

"Oh!" Ziming sighed, and said slowly, "Do you know who ordered these three big acupuncture points on my body?"

Li Wenxuan frowned and said: "Master Abbot's martial arts are unfathomable, and there are not many people in the world who are against the master." Seeing that Li Wenxuan deliberately flattered himself, Ziming shook his head and smiled without interrupting him. Li Wenxuan continued : "However, the acupoints of Master's acupuncture points are on the vital points of his chest, and there are no other injuries. Presumably, there was no fight before the acupuncture points, but he was directly attacked by someone close to him in front of him. Judging from the internal force used by this person to hit acupuncture points, I am afraid it is far above Wenxuan, so... this person is... my master?"

Ziming smiled and said: "I see you said so much and thought you were going to guess right, but in the end it was only a little bit off. You should think about it."

Li Wenxuan's heart tightened, and he said in surprise, "Could it be... Master Ziqing?"

Ziming nodded in acquiescence, Li Wenxuan's mind was confused again, and asked: "Master Fangzhang, Master Ziqing is your younger brother. Although Wenxuan doesn't like him very much, if you say that my master fought against you because of some things? , this Wenxuan believes it, but Wenxuan really can't believe Master Ziqing's surprise attack on you, this...why is this?"

Ziming pointed his finger in front of Li Wenxuan and said, "It's all because of you!"

"Me?" Li Wenxuan thought in his heart: "Your junior attacked you, how could it have anything to do with me? I only dealt with Putian Temple head-on once, and I am not familiar with you two. Although my master used to be Your brothers from the same sect, but they are no longer monks, so this really doesn’t involve me.”

Ziming said meaningfully: "It's a long story, do you still remember that when you went to my Putian Temple and Zijing rescued you from Tianjuanlou, I stopped you?"

Li Wenxuan said: "Wenxuan remembers clearly that Master Abbot wanted Wenxuan to stay in Putian Temple, but later Wenxuan refused and followed Master to Meifeng Temple, but you made Wenxuan agree that if Wenxuan wants to leave here You have to surpass Master Abbot in kung fu, or you will allow Wenxuan to leave. At that time, Wenxuan didn't know what the master's intention was, but after listening to the master, you are doing it for Wenxuan's good, so It’s all the painstaking effort.”

Ziming said: "Well, you are right. I thought Zijing would not tell you this, but he still did. The Lu family of Pinjian Villa and my Putian Temple have a deep friendship, and the two sides have supported each other for many years. , with the protection of the stability of the Jiangnan martial arts, and the Lu family of Pinjian Villa... Sigh, I didn't expect that in the end, only you, the only descendant of blood, were left. Where are you thousands of miles away?"

Li Wenxuan thought of the scene when he was besieged in Putian Temple that day, and he still felt a little grudged in his heart, so he said: "I sincerely visited the teacher that day, but I never expected that the whole Putian Temple would regard me as a murderer and want to get rid of me." If it wasn't for being rescued by the old master and the old man in the end, I am afraid that my life would have been confessed here long ago."

Ziming said: "What happened that day was indeed a misunderstanding at the beginning. A few days before you arrived in Putian, there was news that the owner of Pinjian Villa, Situ, was assassinated by an unknown boy named Li Wenxuan. Don't say I'm Putian Temple, the whole Jianghu is shocked, Zijing, that is, your master, probably heard the news during that time, so he left Meifeng Temple, went north alone, and wanted to kill you. Master Situ took revenge. It’s just that you were very lucky, not only did you survive in his hands, but also let him accept you as an apprentice and learn all the skills, but that’s another story. You hid in that day After entering the temple, Junior Brother Ziqing and I wanted to rush back to the temple to capture you, but we didn’t expect to meet Zijing on the way. He told me about your life experience and the grievances you suffered. Ziqing and I .”

Li Wenxuan was a little emotional, and said: "Ah, so you two already knew my identity, but... But why did Master Qing lead people to surround Tianjuanlou and arrest me that day!"

Ziming patted Li Wenxuan's shoulder lightly, told Li Wenxuan to be calm, and sighed: "This is the crux of the matter."

Li Wenxuan asked: "Dare to ask Master Abbot, how do you say this?"

Zijing said: "You need to know that everyone in the Jianghu said that you killed Master Situ, although there are a few people who believe that you were wronged, but you have no evidence, and Master Situ is the new successor." The leader of the Jiangnan martial arts alliance wants to build an anti-Jin rebel army. What a big event. Suddenly, you were not only regarded as a murderer, but also recognized as a spy sent by the Jin Kingdom by your fellow martial artists. Afterwards, you escaped from Pinjian Shanzhuang, Situ Lang then offered a reward of ten thousand taels of silver to claim your head. Since then, there are countless people in the whole martial arts, either for the sake of righteousness and justice, or because of the ten thousand taels of silver, they all want to get rid of you. Come on, these must have been deeply touched by you on the way to the south, right?"
