Chapter 17 Shixie Waterfall

Although no one notified Huimin in advance, when he was not far from the Sutra Pavilion, the abbot Huishi had already quietly signaled his disciples to rush to the Sutra Pavilion first, to sort out some necessary matters. Why do you want to do this?Because although Master Huimin is an eminent monk and a fairy-like figure, he has a lot of psychic and supernatural powers.But this person is usually only obsessed with studying theories and Wu Xuan, and often does not clean up and wash for a long time, his clothes are messy, his hair and skin are dirty; and when he is fascinated, his behavior is very unruly, and he often sits in meditation in the Buddhist scriptures pavilion naked.It doesn't matter in normal times, the monks who enter the Sutra Pavilion are all monks in the temple, and everyone is not surprised.But now Han Xizai, an important figure in the court, wanted to see Huimin, and he was accompanied by a female family member, so it would be very embarrassing to meet Huimin's indecent appearance.

The structure of the Sutra Pavilion is that a two-story wooden building is built on the stone platform. There are more than 30 bluestone steps on the front of the stone platform, which can directly reach the door of the Sutra Pavilion.When they got here, Han Xizai signaled the others to stay, including Wang Wushan, while he followed Abbot Huishi up the stairs. Standing at the bottom of the bluestone steps, Wang Wushan looked up at Han Xizai and Hui Shi climbing up the steps.But when those two people climbed three or four stone steps, Wang Wushan suddenly shouted softly: "Wait!" Han Xizai stopped, and turned around to look at Wangwushan with questioning eyes.Hui Shi also stopped, he is a monk with self-cultivation, it is inconvenient to stare directly at Wang Wushan's incomparably alluring figure and charming face.So I could only put my palms together and bow my head to Han Xizai and asked softly, "Master Han, does the benefactor of your mansion feel that there is something wrong?"

Han Xizai didn't speak, but just looked at Wang Wushan, he knew that this woman must have her reasons for saying "wait a minute", and it was a very accurate and very important reason. Wang Wushan did have a reason, but she didn't know whether it was accurate or important.Standing at the bottom of the bluestone steps, she felt the same abnormality as at the mountain gate again.But where is the anomaly, she still hasn't found it.For this reason, she couldn't help but feel a little shy. When she took over the position of head of the "Three Inch Lotus", several patriarchs and mothers-in-law in the sect forcibly instilled all the secret skills in the sect into her, and made her a very short time. The pinnacle of assassination.But today, with all kinds of stunts, she encountered an unidentifiable abnormality, and she couldn't identify it in two different places one after another. This was really a humiliation to her.

Just when Wang Wushan was feeling shy but helpless, the half-hidden door of the Sutra Pavilion opened, and a big monk in dark yellow robes came out hastily.He straightened his monk's robe while walking, but no matter how he adjusted the damaged and filthy monk's robe, he couldn't play the slightest role in decorating his image, he could only cover the parts of his body that should be covered as much as possible . "Why didn't you come and tell me earlier, Mr. Han is a brilliant person who recognizes and cherishes talents. Perhaps only he can appreciate my extraordinary abilities. He came here specially to find me, and I am also waiting Let him come. Why are you telling me now that you want me to neglect and offend Mr. Han!"

Upon hearing this, one can tell without introduction that this person is monk Huimin.But with his restless and angry expression, and his incoherent speech, it was far from his status as a master, which made Han Xizai a little disappointed. The moment Huimin just stepped out of the gate of the Sutra Library, Wang Wushan's eyes flickered suddenly.Because after You Huimin joined the whole scene, she immediately felt that the abnormal point she was looking for was ready to emerge. The abnormality does not come from Huimin, but the appearance of Huimin can help in the discovery of abnormalities.This is because Huimin's walking posture is somewhat different from normal people's. He walks with one foot forward and one foot backward, one foot hops and one foot drags. To put it bluntly, he is a cripple.

Wang Wushan immediately adjusted his gaze, starting from the ridge of the Sutra Pavilion, and then scanning down horizontally and vertically.At this time, she was able to determine that the abnormal point she was looking for was probably related to the degree of balance, but this would be an unbalanced concept that was very different from the usual degree of balance. They should correspond to Huimin's footsteps in a very clever way combine. Hui Min walked down the top of the blue stone steps, and eagerly greeted Han Xizai.Although his footsteps are not so agile, and his movements seem slow and funny, but for him, this is already a very fast speed.

Wang Wushan's gaze has already swept to the top of the bluestone steps, and he is about to catch up with Huimin's footsteps.At this moment, she felt that the abnormal point she was looking for should be nearby. Hui Min had already descended three or four stone steps, and probably because she got used to walking, her pace became faster and faster. Wang Wushan's eyes fell on the first bluestone steps, and then he jumped suddenly and caught up with Hui Min's footsteps.Because she found two unbalanced junctions on the first stone steps. Huimin's footsteps became faster and faster, and when he reached the slow-moving platform halfway up the stone steps, his figure was already walking a magical and fast martial arts footwork.The small steps of the movement are like sliding, and the whole person rushes out without any hindrance.

"Not good! Follow the trend! Stop him!" While speaking, Wang Wushan twisted his waist and raised his slender feet. His petite and plump body rose up five steps vertically.Some of the house guests they brought were also moved when they heard the sound, and some of them jumped even faster and higher than Wangwu Mountain. Even if Wang Wushan and the masters of the Fu Ke had made their moves, it was still a small step too late, failing to stop Hui Min in time.When Hui Min rushed to the top half of the bluestone steps below, his body had already flew up, and he flew out continuously twisting and rolling.But no matter how his body twisted and rolled, there was one body part that remained in the same direction. This body part was his round head that had already grown some stubble, and it was always bumping towards the granite railing on one side.

Wang Wushan only had time to throw the brocade flower heavy silk cloak in front of him to block the rain of blood for himself and Han Xizai.None of the house guests had time to touch Hui Min's side, so when Hui Min collided, they each jumped out sideways to avoid the sprayed blood rain. Only the abbot Huishi stood motionless like a goose, half opened his mouth but couldn't even utter a half exclamation.Hui Min's instantly shattered head spurted blood wildly, splashing Fang Zhang Hui Shi's head and face, and even poured half a mouthful into his half-open mouth. The shattered head soon stopped spouting blood and rain, but turned into a large gushing spring.A man from the house jumped to Huimin's side again, and stretched out his hand to check Huimin's breath: "There is only breath out but not in."

"How could this be? This monk is too ignorant of his morality, he threw himself into this state in such a hurry, he really rushed to his death!" Han Xizai felt a surge of anger in his heart.It wasn't because he was frightened and unlucky to see Hui Min's blood splattered and skull cracked.It was because the purpose of his trip had been shattered all of a sudden, and what was about to be found out was still a mystery. "Perhaps this monk heard the words of the clay bodhisattva and leaked the heaven's secret, so he was punished by this heaven." A guest from the house said half-jokingly.They had heard of this master Hui Min who understood the words of the clay bodhisattva a long time ago, but when they saw him today, he turned out to be such a scruffy, wretched cripple, and they immediately felt disbelief and disdain in their hearts.

Wang Wushan has been bending down to observe carefully on the bluestone steps quietly, and replied without raising his head after hearing what the house guest said: "It's not punishment from heaven, it's stabbing from people." "Human thorn?" Everyone was surprised.A disabled old monk from Fangwai, why did he assassinate him?Moreover, everyone saw the old monk's fall with his own eyes. It was obviously his own carelessness, and he didn't see anyone make a killing move against him. "The assassin set up a very ingenious pocket specifically for Master Huimin, and as far as I know now, there are at least two places for this pocket in the temple. The stone steps at the gate of the mountain is one, and I felt strange when I entered the gate. , but I couldn’t identify it. This stone step is the second place, if I didn’t see that Master Hui Min is crippled, and I saw the characteristics of his walking gait with my own eyes, I still wouldn’t be able to identify the pocket here.” Wang Wushan sighed lightly and continued, "Oh, although I have identified the bag now, it is still half a step too late. If you break this psychic monk, you will delay your lord's important affairs." "What kind of bag? What's so ingenious?" Han Xizai knew that Wang Wushan couldn't be blamed for this, but he was curious about what kind of bag could make a person fall himself to death. "A type of walking barrier is called 'Shixie Waterfall'. There are many ways to set up this kind of bag, and the technique is not fixed. It needs to be specially set according to the actual footwork characteristics of the assassination target. Here and at the entrance of the mountain The settings are exactly the same, they are all hands and feet made on these stone steps." Having said that, Wang Wushan pulled Han Xizai by the sleeve of his robe and walked to the top few bluestone steps. "My lord, you can take a closer look. The first stone step is padded with a very thin piece of stone on the far right side of the outer edge. This will not make any sense to ordinary people going up and down, but Hui Min's heavy fall when he limped down the steps When stepping up and down this step, there will be an impulse to the left. And there is an extra support stone on the inner side of the middle of the second floor, which is exactly the foothold of Huimin's second step. With this support stone , his steps are bound to evade outwards, so that the soles of his feet have to fall on the edge of the stone steps. In this way, adding the momentum of the first step, he almost slides into the third step. And the third step repeats the first step again Step 4 repeats the setting of step 2, but the position is further to the left. After repeating this, after six or seven steps, Huimin's footsteps are completely uncontrollable. In the end, the accumulated downward momentum was like a waterfall, throwing himself out. And the ingenuity of this bag is here, it is to use the assassination target itself as a blood claw, let him kill himself. In the eyes of others It was like an accident." Wang Wushan's "Potential Xie Waterfall" was originally a formation, and it was "following the situation like a waterfall" in the 40th round of Qimen Dunjia.But later, some masters of Kanzixing applied their formation principles to the setting of the Kan surface.Due to the ingenious setting and concealed technique, the masters in the assassination then borrowed and expanded Kan Zixing's technique, and finally created the assassination technique of "Shixie Waterfall". The "Potential Xie Waterfall" of the assassination line is similar to but different from the Kan Zixing's "Following the Potential as a Waterfall".The setting of the barrier is relatively fixed, and it has a lethal effect on all those who do not understand the barrier.However, the assassination settings are targeted, and only have an effect on a specific person.It uses different environments to assassinate targets with different characteristics in different ways. In the "Hu Se Miscellaneous Records" compiled by Chen Gaoji, a Cantonese in the Yuan Dynasty, there is a story about "Three Falling Generals of Immortal Officials".In the Yuan Dynasty, the common people were divided into four classes, Mongols, Semu people, northern Han people and southern Han people.Chen Gaoji, a Cantonese, is the lowest-class southern Han Chinese, so a lot of the content in this book is ridiculing the Mongols and the Semu people.The story of "Three Falling Generals of the Yellow Immortal Official" is about a Mongolian general who went to visit the Daxian Temple after he went to the south.In front of the temple, he uttered wild words to humiliate the Cantonese and the Great Immortal, but when he entered the temple, he fell down before reaching the top of the steps.Moreover, he fell three times in a row, but he still couldn't enter the Great Immortal Temple.Some people say that this is the appearance of the gods to punish the Mongolian general, but there are rumors in the rivers and lakes that some masters set up a "shixie waterfall" on the stone steps at the entrance of the Daxian Temple in response to the bow-legged characteristics of the Mongolian general who rode horses for a long time.
