Chapter 10 Chapter Ten Ji Feng Zen

Longying and Faming sneaked back to Xiangyang from the waterway, but the city's defenses were not particularly strengthened, perhaps the guards were transferred to the Jiedushi's mansion. Faming led him into a Buddhist temple in the east of the city from the backyard. There was a secret passage leading to the basement in the temple garden.The secret room is two feet square, well ventilated, equipped with weapons, bows and arrows, replacement clothes, as well as tools and materials for disguise.Faming lit two oil lamps. Long Ying uncovered the ugly mask, and said: "After your elder brother's skillful hands, this ghost thing has doubled in weight, and it's ten times harder to wear."

Fa Ming picked up a bottle of white liquid like medicinal wine, handed it to him, and said, "Use the liquid to wash away your disguised treasure, so that the mask can be faked, and you told me before, I wouldn't believe it. After taking care of myself, I will serve you again." Watching him sit down in front of the bronze mirror, Longying said: "Do you have such basements in all important cities?" Faming wiped his face with a wet towel soaked in the liquid medicine, and replied casually: "Do you think this is an easy task? I only picked a few important cities, and Xiangyang happened to be one of them. The reason why my senior sister was able to quell the chaos quickly , I have made a lot of efforts in the dark, and if I want to deal with Dajianglian in the future, I can help you in many ways."

Looking at him gradually returning to his original appearance, Long Ying asked curiously: "I'm getting more and more aware of my elder brother's affairs, aren't you afraid that it will be very detrimental to Monk Monk if we return to the previous hostile relationship in the future?" Fa Ming took off his wig, revealing his bald head with ring scars, and immediately returned to the dignified appearance of an eminent monk, and said lightly: "If this king needs to wage a large-scale war with the evil emperor, it means that this king is at the end of his rope. Sigh! The Evil Emperor knows that this king has never had a bosom friend, you may not be my friend, but you must be a bosom friend."

Fa Ming stood up and said, "Come on! Sit down for me, and let me demonstrate a perfect disguise." Longying sat down according to his words, and said: "It's so weird! Before you said that my younger brother is your confidant, I never thought about it in this direction, but now I have a very deep feeling. All my ulterior secrets, You know it all." While adjusting the paint, Fa Ming said, "If there is a real thing about Xianmen, then what's the point of our endless cycle of life and death?" Long Ying said: "Perhaps the only meaning is life and death, and the experiences in between."

Faming painted his face with medicinal liquid, and said, "But under the cycle of life and death, experience has no continuity. How will the experience in this life benefit me in the next life? According to Buddhism, no one knows the next life." Is it still possible to be a human being?" Longying pondered and said: "The king of monks is right, so we may have learned about the fairy gate in this life through experience and practice of countless lifetimes. Once we miss it, we may have the same opportunity in thousands of lifetimes. " Fa Ming showed a thoughtful look, and said nothing.

Longying was alone, patronizing the food stall at the ferry outside Fancheng, and ate two bowls of noodles, to the fullest.As it was not long before dawn, there were not many people on the ferry, but it still made him feel the lively atmosphere of local life, the moving feeling of working at sunrise. He didn't use his brain to think about it, just let everything in front of him be reflected in his heart, and naturally there was a deep and kind rich taste, as if he could deeply understand some unspeakable things deeper under the surface.The human world in front of him is endlessly rich.Everything has a deeper meaning hidden underneath, which is endless.

The great Xiangyang City stands on the opposite bank, and it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, with countless battles of all sizes.In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sun Jian led his troops to attack Xiangyang and was killed by cold arrows.During the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Yu and Cao Ren fought fiercely here, flooding the Seventh Army.In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Zhu Xu, the general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, tried his best to reject Fu Pi here. Mrs. Han, Zhu Xu's mother, led the women to build a new city of more than 20 feet in the northwest corner of Xiangcheng, which made the enemy fail and failed to break in.

This sense of connection with history makes the scene in front of you seem unrestricted, extending infinitely in time.Fa Ming, who pretended to be an ordinary traveling businessman, came and sat down beside him, ordered a bowl of braised pork noodles, and said happily, "The facts are not very different from what I guessed." Long Ying said: "Brother really has a way, just go around and find out about Li Xian's secrets." Fa Ming said: "It seems easy and easy, but I don't know how much work I have spent behind it. This woman is indeed from another place, and she is from the Dashi Kingdom. She and Zong Chuke and more than a dozen masters from various schools in Chang'an, Arrived in Fangzhou seven days ago, the next day Li Xian's family secretly moved to Xiangyang and lived in the official office of the Jiedushi. Three days ago, the Luling Palace in Fangzhou caught fire and there were fierce fighting sounds. As for what happened that night, no one knows. People keep their mouths shut."

The hot stewed pork noodles came, and Fa Ming had no time to talk.Eat it up. Long Ying smiled and said: "Little brother, I can imagine you eating and drinking in the temple." Fa Ming put down his bamboo chopsticks, and said solemnly: "Maybe you don't believe me, I am usually a person who abides by the rules and does not drink or drink. Only when I pretend to be another identity will I prostitute, gamble, drink, and do anything. Haha ! Don’t hide it from you, the feeling of breaking the precept is very pleasant.” Longying said: "It's called happiness when there is depression! So being an emperor is the worst, where is there any depression? There are only excessive eating and drinking, excessive lewdness, and excessive self-will. And if it is too late, how can there be happiness?"

Faming laughed and said, "So what if you didn't have any at all? How did you survive the days before the capital?" Long Ying pointed to his head and said: "It depends on this partner. For example, when I read a book, I will forget the outside world and immerse myself in the world inside the book, bid farewell to the ordinary life, and gallop in the infinite world of imagination. .It is the feeling of forgetting everything. There is no time, and the past and present are far and wide. Ha! Of course, what I read is not the books of Confucius and Mencius, or the principles of ethics.”

Faming said, "But during the five years in Huanggu, you only had to read one book." Longying said: "When you are not practicing, you can discover the interesting things around you, and you can conceive different things in your chest. The outside is endless, and the inside is also endless. The true meaning of the experience that comes from you. Brother, you are an expert in meditation, and you should have a deeper understanding of this than I do.” Faming smiled bitterly and said, "You and I are taking completely different paths. What we talk about is the silence of all thoughts and the refusal of a single thought, so as to explore the nature, empty and not empty, and thinking without thinking. Is Dafa actually come out after practicing like this?" ?” Long Ying said calmly: "No matter what the devil seed is, it is not cultivated, but it is something that belongs to us. It is like the inner alchemy mentioned by Taoism and the Buddha nature referred to by the noble family. Dafa is just how to combine with the devil seed. Just like before your elder brother came, I watched everything in front of me with all my heart, and felt that my inner realm could not stop improving, and I was in harmony with the outer God. Our mind is a bit like a ladder , With external influences and changes, you can't climb up and down, and when you slide to the lowest point, people are no longer people, but things that are inferior to animals. If you can keep at the high point forever, you will be a demon of the Dao heart." Faming said emotionally: "That's a good point. No matter how ever-changing the world is, in the end it's just the feeling of the heart. If we allow the impact of human affairs, we will become poor worms who only know how to follow the trend, unable to make decisions for ourselves, and sink forever. " He said again: "It's almost time! I will find an opportunity in the future to talk with you in detail." Long Ying asked casually: "What's Fang's name, that foreign girl?" Faming replied: "Everyone calls her Mrs. Dama, and she is in her thirties. If she is as I guessed, then her real skill is not in the sword, but in her pair of slender hands." Long Ying stood up and said: "One day, we will learn her real kung fu." After Longying broke up with Faming in Xiangfan, Faming returned to the capital of God in the north, while he went south along the Han River, traveling at full speed day and night, over mountains and ridges, seeing dangerous cliffs as flat land, and returning to the state of mind when he was alone in the barren valley hut , carefree, do not ask for anything else. After two days, I arrived at Ezhou, another big city beside the river. This is the only way to go northward from the river to Hanshui to Xiangyang. I first went to the wharf area. I saw that the fat father-in-law’s boat had not yet arrived, nor did I see Wu Sansi’s fleet. Go to the inn in the city and sleep in the dark.Wake up in the morning, go to the restaurant near the pier to offer sacrifices to the Wu Zang Temple, and then wander around the pier area, watching the cargo unloading from the boats moored there, without feeling lonely at all. That night at Gantangyuan, I was entangled by the little witch, and came up with a plan to travel south. The destination was Yangzhou, including the three daughters of Renya, and asked the fat father-in-law to take care of them to ensure that they were safe. question. There are still nearly two months left before the date with Hua Jianning'er on the first day of July. If he is in Shendu, he must be busy. Only when he leaves Shendu can he fully devote himself to life with all the beauties Playing in the mountains and rivers, coaxing them to be happy. At this moment, he became alert, and looked at a group of people who were about to board a brig not far away, and it happened that the person turned his head to look at his side, and the two sides met. The man obviously didn't recognize him, and his eyes stayed on him for a while before moving elsewhere. But Long Ying was stunned. Tianzhu master Usu. That day when he was going to the plateau with Cui Laohou, he was stopped by the Tubo people before entering the mountain area. Wu Su tried to test him, and the feeling of being pinched by him at the throat is something he will never forget.After the Turkic people were forced to leave the plateau, there was no news of Wusu. How could they expect to meet him in Dajiang? At the same time, I realized that he should be one of the masters who attacked the Luling Palace. Seeing that his face is pale and lifeless, it is obvious that although he was able to escape and save his life, he suffered serious internal and external injuries, so he needs to be treated to recover. Later, Fang came to Ezhou and left on a boat arranged by Dajianglian. Among the seven or eight people traveling with him, there are at least two Tianzhu people. Although they are dressed as ordinary Han merchants, how can they hide from his sharp eyes?Most of the others were Han Chinese, but two of them seemed to be foreigners from the Western Regions, and one of them even showed tattoos on his arm.Could it be that Daming Zunjiao slipped through the net? Longying gave up the idea of ​​doing anything, because the other party had a lot of people, so he might not be able to please him, and the most important thing was that he didn't want to add insult to injury to them. Wu Su should have been plagued by bad luck, and was hired by the imperial court with a lot of money. He should have done something, but he met Longying and was forced to leave the plateau.Maybe Kuixin, the commander of the army, failed because of the Tianshi incident, so tired that Wusu and his accomplices were not only not reused by Mo Chuo, but also betrayed by Mo Chuo, and sent to Middle-earth for a mission that was doomed to fail. No matter the little Khan of Mo Chui or Da Jiang Lian, they are all people who will do anything for success and have no affection. Wusu boarded the boat with the team, and with special attention, Long Ying felt that someone in the cabin was closely monitoring the situation in the dock area, and one of them was looking at him. With a thought in his heart, Longying pretended to leave, and only then started to move upstream until he was far away from the enemy's sight. The sail sailed down the current, and the speed of the ship was extremely fast. Longying has already mastered its route, and has launched two consecutive water catapults, and has already jumped onto the hull of the ship. Long Ying showed his magical powers, and after a while, he had a general grasp of the situation on the ship. The group of people who boarded the ship obviously had not recovered from their internal injuries, so they returned to their assigned cabins to heal their injuries.There were more than a dozen people operating the boat, all talking in Turkic, talking about whoring or gambling, nothing interesting. From the submerged hull, he swam to the position below the cabin, then climbed up like a monkey, and turned into an empty cabin, while doing exercises to evaporate the moisture on his body, he listened to all directions. The person he was looking for was Wu Su. Although until now, he and Wu Su are still in a hostile situation, but since there is no personal enmity, it is not that there is no room for dialogue.If it was someone else, even if it was an expert like Fa Ming, in such a situation, it would be very difficult to figure out Wu Su's position without disturbing anyone, but Long Ying would not be able to defeat him. The spirit nose came in handy immediately. After seeing that there was no one in the corridor, he pushed open the door and stepped out, first moved to the opposite cabin, raised his hand and knocked on the door, and said in Turkic dialect: "Would you like some tea?" The Tianzhu master in the room said angrily in blunt Turkic words: "No! Don't bother me before dinner." Long Ying flashed back to the empty cabin, because someone went to the lower floor through the corridor. Longying came to the cabin corridor again, within a few steps, he found the cabin of another Tianzhu master, of course he relied on his sense of smell.Different ethnic groups, different living habits, and different diets will produce different body odors.For Long Ying, it is easy to distinguish people of different races from their smell. I thought that there was at least half the chance of success, because only Wu Su and another Tianzhu master were left.Tap twice on the hatch. Wusu's displeased voice sounded, "What's the matter?" Longying pushed the door open, and Wusu's sharp eyes shot like two arrows, showing surprise, obviously remembering that he was the one who had met at the pier. Long Ying said into his ear through voice transmission in Tubo language: "I have no malicious intentions, please be quiet and don't let anyone know that I have been here." Flash into the room, gently close the door. Wusu sat cross-legged on the bed, his hair curled up like a black coiled snake on his head, his eyes calmed down, and he stared at him fiercely. In order to avoid his suspicion, Long Ying said via voice transmission: "Let's sit on the chair by the window so that everyone can talk." Wusu Shuyin sent it back to his ear and said, "Why should I talk to you, a man of unknown origin?" Long Ying said: "It's very simple. If you have any suspicion of being betrayed when you leave Fangzhou Luling Palace, you should listen to me." Wu Su moved, "Who are you?" Long Ying said: "Little brother Long Ying, I met brother Wu Su in Khotan, and I held your brother's throat." Wu Su shook violently, bounced off the bed, fell to the ground, sat down on the chair by the window first, and gestured for Long Ying to sit on the next empty chair. After Long Ying sat down, Shu Yin said: "Why do you know it's me? Brother Wu Su wants to withdraw to be on guard?" Wu Su smiled wryly and said, "This is your territory. If you want to harm me, it's just a matter of raising your hand and not talking. What's more, you are my most respected enemy. Who doesn't know that Longying is a hero and definitely not a despicable villain?" He sighed again: "The more important thing is that I will tell you the central matter. Bai Diwen couldn't escape during the battle in Luling Palace, and he was accompanied by two brothers. Six people went to the plateau, only half of them were left. I don't want to die without knowing it anymore." Longying then revealed the secret to Mrs. Dama to Zong Chuke, which led to Li Xian's family fleeing to Xiangyang, and the fact that the masters of China and the earth had set up a net in the Luling Palace, and told them one by one in an orderly manner. Wusu's eyes flickered, and he said: "Who is this woman? She is superb in swordsmanship, and her internal strength is tyrannical and weird. I have only seen her in my life. Bai Diwen was killed by her sword. I will not avenge her. I will not avenge her." For people." Long Ying said: "I still haven't figured out her ins and outs. Martial arts should come from the "Wisdom Sutra on the Root of All Laws", and it is very likely that she was taught by Da Mingzun." Wu Su shook his head and said, "It's definitely not a member of the Daming Zunjiao. This time, the Daming Zunjiao came here in full force, thinking that with the support of Dajiang Lian, they would turn the land upside down. How could they know that they were betrayed? Out of twelve people, only two could escape." He said again, "What can I do?" Long Ying said sincerely: "If you just want to make a career, you can stay and be my helper, but if you want revenge, you should go back to Turkic." Wu Su said: "Understood!"
