Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 217
Li Wenxuan said: "What the master said is true. Wenxuan has encountered innumerable dangers along the way southward. There are reckless rivers and lakes, famous heroes, and even people from the imperial family. They have made things difficult for me many times. I even almost died, and now I think about it, I still have lingering fears, and I was a bit lucky to be able to get to Putian safely."

Ziming said: "But ever since you left Putian Temple and followed Zijing to Meifeng Temple, has anyone ever troubled you?"

Li Wenxuan thought for a moment: "Yeah, since I arrived at Meifeng Temple, no one has ever troubled me in the past few months. I went to Putian City occasionally to buy things, and I never heard anything about myself. During these days I had a very relaxed life, and I had long forgotten the fact that I was hunted down." Li Wenxuan said: "In recent months, no one has made things difficult for me. Since Wenxuan arrived at Meifeng Temple, apart from ordinary life, Other than that, that is practicing kung fu and martial arts, life is very quiet."

Ziming asked: "That's it. Originally, there were many crises behind you, but all of a sudden, everything disappeared suddenly. Do you know why?"

Li Wenxuan thought for a while, and said: "Could it be because... because Meifeng Temple is too remote, it's not easy for ordinary people to find, so after a long time, people don't see me, so I just let it go?"

Ziming smiled and said: "It is true that Meifeng Temple is remote, but this place is very close to Putian City, and news spreads quickly in the Jianghu. As long as one person knows that you are here, it will not take a few days. I am afraid that everyone in the Jianghu will know. With a little searching, no matter how remote the location of Meifeng Temple is, within a few days at least, or half a month at most, you will definitely be able to find your hiding place."

Li Wenxuan sighed: "Then what is the reason? Forgive Wenxuan for being dull, please ask the abbot to explain the cause and effect."

Ziming said: "That day I wanted to keep you in the temple, and I thought that with the little merit accumulated in the rivers and lakes of Putian Temple over the years, I might be able to repay your innocence. , at least if you stay in Putian Temple, no one will dare to harm you, but you have not promised me that you will go to Meifeng Temple with my junior brother, so after you went to Meifeng Temple that day, I let He Si Up and down immediately blocked the news, declaring that you were first captured by me at Putian Temple, and then rescued by someone, and then went all the way west. The world believes in this news. And those who really know that you are in Meifeng Temple also Just me and Ziqing, and a few other disciples who entered the house know. So from then on, some people who want to track down your whereabouts, even if they come to Putian Temple to inquire about the news, they will not know your real location, otherwise, you After staying in Meifeng Temple for so long, I'm afraid I don't know how many times I have been surrounded by others."

Li Wenxuan got up and thanked Ziming: "How can Wenxuan let the abbot take such pains for me? But..."

Ziqing saw that Li Wenxuan was hesitant in his words, so he followed Li Wenxuan's words and said, "But since Putian Temple intends to help you, why does Ziqing make things difficult for you, right?"

Li Wenxuan nodded, and Ziming said again: "Well, everyone knows that you murdered Master Situ, there are countless people who want to take your life, and there are many famous martial arts figures among them. Virtue, but if you are determined to make decisions for you, offending a few martial arts comrades is a small matter, I am afraid that if it causes public anger in the martial arts, and then is used by people with ulterior motives, it will definitely bring disaster to Putian Temple!"

Li Wenxuan's heart was heavy. He didn't expect that what happened to him alone would cause Putian Temple to wade into the muddy water unknowingly. He felt very sorry and murmured: "Master Ziqing refused to believe me that day. You want to arrest me because you are afraid that I will cause Putian Temple?"

Ziming said: "Oh, that's right. After hearing Zijing explain your matter that day, I was determined to protect you, but my junior brother didn't want to make the entire Putian Temple an enemy of Wulin because of you, so that day Only...he had no other choice, but luckily he didn't make a big mistake, at the critical moment, your master rescued you from Tianjuan Tower."

Li Wenxuan smiled wryly, with a helpless look on his face, and said: "I don't blame Master Ziqing at all, who taught me to be unlucky, and I got involved in such things. I think that when I went south, even the people whose lives I saved before People actually want to take my life in reverse, not to mention that I didn't have much to do with Putian Temple, it's reasonable for Master Ziqing to act like this, but now that I think about it, it's no surprise."

Ziming continued: "After you were taken away by Ziqing, I went to visit you secretly a few times. Seeing that you are living well, I am very relieved. Anyway, you don't have any evidence at this moment to prove that Master Situ was not killed by you. The harm is, it is better to simply stay in Meifeng Temple for a while longer, one thing you can ask your master for martial arts, and then wait to avoid the limelight of this matter, in the future, in the future, the whole matter will have a turnaround."

Li Wenxuan's eyes widened and he asked, "Master Abbot, have you ever been to Meifeng Temple? When did it happen? How come I don't know anything about it?"

Ziming smiled and said: "Although you have learned a lot of skills from Zijing, and your skills have improved, but the cultivation of internal skills is not something that happens overnight, so with your current skills, if I want to avoid your eyes and ears, I don't have to. It's too difficult."

Li Wenxuan said: "Wenxuan is ashamed, and will definitely practice more diligently in the future."

Ziming said again: "Not only that, you came to my Putian Temple every night to eat and steal, and later you practiced kung fu together with your heart. Others may not know these things, but Ziqing and I are here In the first few days when you first started, you already knew everything clearly."

Li Wenxuan said in surprise: "Ah, since the two masters already knew about it at that time, then...then why didn't you find out immediately, in that case, Wenxuan would not dare to come to Putian Temple to be presumptuous again, and saved the fight tonight. "

Ziming said: "Ziqing really planned this way at the beginning, and wanted to teach you some lessons, just to teach you not to come again in the future, but I think that although what you did is wrong, it is not a big deal. Wrong, you came to my Putian Temple just to get some food. The Buddha Dharma saves all sentient beings. Why should I make things difficult for you because of this matter of porridge and food? So from then on, you come and go at night, Ziqing and I The two pretended not to know, at that time your lightness kung fu had already achieved some success, and if we were not strict, other disciples would naturally not be able to discover your whereabouts."

Li Wenxuan said: "Then...then according to Master Abbot, you also knew about the fact that I frightened De by playing tricks that night?"

Ziming nodded, and said: "That night you wandered around in my Putian Temple unscrupulously, making such a big commotion, I couldn't help but wonder if I didn't know. Later, De was scared by you and fell ill. Jueyin and the others Only then did I tell Ziqing about this matter, but Ziqing had no choice but to pretend to be confused and let this matter go unsolved, otherwise if the investigation continues, the matter will definitely be implicated in you and Liao Xin. Not bad, but a little naughty, but unfortunately in my Putian Temple, Buddhism can't help him cultivate his body, otherwise he wouldn't be frightened by you."

Li Wenxuan thought for a while, and then asked: "Master, since this matter has passed for several months, and I have been in and out of Putian Temple frequently during this period, you have never blamed me, but why is Master Ziqing doing this tonight?" Leading hundreds of monks, fighting with their lives, do you have to capture me?"

When Ziming spoke, he always had a smile on his face, but when Li Wenxuan asked here, Ziming raised his smile, frowned slightly, and said: "A few days ago, I decided to go down the mountain for alms. But you stopped him halfway, told him to disobey his teacher's order, and took him to play in Putian City. You first bought lay clothes at Linji Cloth Shop in the city, and then you were followed along the way. In the evening, you were also intoxicated by the incense, and the second time you returned to Meifeng Temple, from then until yesterday, you lived in Meifeng Temple with all your heart, right?"

Li Wenxuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Master...you...you know all about it?" The matter of returning to Meifeng Temple is very shady, and if you are interested, you will dress up as a layman, even if you meet a fellow disciple, you may not be recognized by others, how did you reveal your secrets?"

Ziming sighed heavily, and said, "Do you know whose property Linji Cloth is?"

Li Wenxuan shook his head and said: "Wenxuan seldom walks around in Putian City, but according to the shopkeeper of the cloth village, it should be a big local family. As for who the owner is, Wenxuan doesn't know."

Ziming said: "Liaode's family name is Lin, and their name is Yongde. This Linji cloth shop is their family's property!"

Li Wenxuan felt as if he had been hit by a sap on the head, and said in surprise: "What? Liode, surnamed Lin, Linji Buzhuang?"

Ziming said again: "Since Liao De was frightened by you, he went home to cultivate himself, and he never went back to the temple. That day you went to Linji Cloth Village to buy clothes for Xin, and accidentally uttered Xin's Dharma name." , was heard by the shopkeeper of Nabuzhuang, because Liao De also practiced in my Putian Temple, the shopkeeper heard the name of Xin, and knew that the relationship between Liao Xin and Liao De in your mouth is the relationship between brothers, But I felt that you were going to buy lay clothes for a monk. I was afraid that there was something strange, so I told the matter to the master of the Lin family. Ever since Liao De was frightened by you, the Lin family always felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't find any clues , I had to suffer from being dumb, and that day I saw the strange thing that you were going to buy clothes for your heart, so you naturally fell in love with it, so you invited a few people to follow you, and later they tried your martial arts, unexpectedly, you were amazing , Qinggong is even more outstanding, so they linked the matter of you and Liao Xin together with the matter of Liao De being frightened. They became suspicious, and they went to the city overnight to invite people from the Fuzhou Security Bureau..."

"What, Fuzhou Escort Bureau!" Li Wenxuan felt nervous when he heard the name of Fuzhou Escort Bureau, and couldn't help but yelled out, interrupting Ziming's words.

Ziming continued: "Yes, it is the Fuzhou Security Bureau. The Lin family and the Fuzhou Security Bureau have a relationship by marriage in the previous generation, so the Lin family has a request, and they are happy to help, but..."

Ziming paused slightly, Li Wenxuan's expression was heavy, and then he said: "But the man from the Fuzhou Security Bureau knows me, right?"

Ziming said: "That's right, I heard from Zijing before that when you first arrived in Putian City, you had some encounters with Young Master Yun of the Fuzhou Escort Bureau. Among the people who went to the Escort Bureau that day, there happened to be someone who knew you." Yes, they seem to be a little afraid of you, and they dare not force it, so they want to use the incense to charm you, and then take your life, but no one thought that the marrow washing sutra you practiced has the effect of avoiding poison, they Seeing that using Mixiang had no effect on you, they didn't dare to act rashly, so they walked with you in a daze, and then went in to check, only then did they know that the kid next to you was a monk in Putian Temple Xin, but you actually took a monk to eat and drink outside. The people from the Fuzhou Security Bureau told the Lin family about it. So I went to the temple to file a complaint, asking me to deal with it fairly. Ziqing and I spent a lot of time trying to persuade Mr. Lin, but we were trying to find a compromise so that this matter could pass safely, but unexpectedly your whereabouts would As a result of this leak, we soon heard a big news.”

Li Wenxuan asked, "What news?"

Ziming said: "Young Master Yun of the Fuzhou Bodyguard Bureau happened to be in Putian at the time. After he heard about this, he knew that Putian Temple was willing to punish him, but you are not a disciple of our temple, so it is difficult to hold you accountable. So he flew pigeons overnight to send letters, asking the Fuzhou Bodyguard Bureau to send more experts to Putian, and then murder your life. Originally, with your current ability, Fuzhou Bodyguard Bureau is afraid that there will be no one in the Fuzhou Bodyguard Bureau except the head of the bodyguard Yun. It's not a problem at all, but I didn't expect the news to spread like wildfire, but in just a few days, the news that you are still in Putian has been uploaded in the rivers and lakes, and I, Putian Temple, said before that you fled west The fake news is self-defeating."

Li Wenxuan said: "Wenxuan is really sorry for the abbot and Putian Temple. It is because of Wenxuan that you and Putian Temple have been implicated more for me."

Ziming said: "People in the world, although they guessed that Putian Temple intends to take you in, but due to the name of Putian Temple, there are not many people who really dare to come to your door to trouble you. I didn't expect that the news about you in Putian unexpectedly shocked a group of extremely troublesome people."

Li Wenxuan stood up, clasped his fists to Ziming and said: "Abbot Ziming, Wenxuan has no repayment for what you have done to Li Wenxuan. No matter who came to the door this time, Wenxuan will definitely try his best to tell him what happened. Clearly, if the other party doesn't believe me, I, Li Wenxuan, will fully bear the responsibility, and I will never involve Putian Temple in suffering innocent injustice for me!"

Ziming shook his head and said: "These people are very important, not to mention you are alone, even if I put all the power of Putian Temple, I'm afraid... it will be difficult to stop them!"

Li Wenxuan bowed again: "Who the hell are they? They are so powerful. Could it be that the entire Putian Temple is not their opponent? Besides, they are just here for me. Wenxuan fled all the way south. If you are not afraid of death, Wenxuan will definitely not implicate Putian Temple!"

Ziming said again: "You still don't know. I'm afraid these people didn't come just for you. They knew that you were in Putian, but they were not in my Putian Temple, but they threatened to avenge Master Situ. I understand that I want to go to Putian Temple to ask for someone. If my Putian Temple doesn’t hand you over, I will take you by force. If my prediction is correct, these people want to capture you in name to avenge Master Situ, but in fact they want to destroy me in Putian Temple, but these are all my inferences, and there is no real evidence. These people have extraordinary martial arts, and the leader's kung fu is even more unfathomable. If Putian Temple really fights with them, I am afraid that Putian Temple My century-old foundation will be destroyed, so tonight my junior brother took advantage of my unpreparedness and tapped my acupoints, intending to capture you, and hand you over when the time comes, in exchange for the stability of Putian Temple. I am really ashamed, it should be me, Putian Temple, who apologized to Donor Li."

After Ziming finished speaking, he was about to stand up and salute Li Wenxuan. Li Wenxuan couldn't bear it, so he immediately stopped Ziming and said, "Master, you are serious. No matter what the real purpose of those people is, these things are all because of Wenxuan. Xuan Erqi, you and Putian Temple have never owed Wen Xuan the slightest bit, but Wen Xuan is very sorry, Wen Xuan had misunderstood Master Ziqing before, now Wen Xuan understands, and never dares to treat Ziqing again Master, and Putian Temple have the slightest complaint!"

Ziming looked at Li Wenxuan and asked: "My junior brother is going to capture you and send your hands away. I'm afraid that your life will be lost at that time. Don't you hate him?"

Li Wenxuan said: "What Master Ziqing did was also for Putian Temple. What's more, what Wenxuan has done these days has indeed broken the rules of Putian Temple. Thanks to the tolerance of the two masters, now Master Ziqing As a last resort, Wenxuan...has no grudges at all, when those people find them, Wenxuan can fight them alone, regardless of life or death, he will never drag Putian Temple down."

A smile finally appeared on Ziming's face again, and he said, "Don't you want to run away? Your kung fu is not what it used to be. If you leave here now, it is almost impossible for others to find you." .”

Li Wenxuan said: "Master Abbot, when Wenxuan was young, my father always told me that I must join the army in the future and do something for the country and the people. I don't want to be immortal, but to be worthy of my heart. Today If I let the entire Putian Temple take the risk for me for the sake of my own safety, Wenxuan will be seeking safety in the future, so what face will I have to meet my father under Jiuquan in the future?"
