Chapter 3 The third round of hearing the jade flute in the devil city

Before the words were finished, there was a rumbling sound resounding through the valley. It turned out that the warriors sent by the Nepalese prince had also found their tracks and pushed down the boulders one by one.Gui Huasheng said angrily: "What a vicious method!" Pulling Max Canaan to jump and dodge, a few stones rolled to the side of the fountain, but fortunately they didn't touch them.A black-clothed warrior walked down the hillside, probably trying to catch them before throwing a big stone. Gui Huasheng sneered and said, "Okay, I'll let you eat a stone too!" Flying up, the black-clothed warrior never dreamed that Gui Huasheng had such supernatural powers of snapping his fingers, he could actually throw a stone bullet onto the ice bank tens of feet high, hit the acupuncture point immediately, and fell down in response!

How dare the other warriors come down again, they just kept throwing boulders from the mountain.Suddenly, there was a huge thunder in the valley, and Wan Shan responded deafeningly.Max Canaan said: "Not good, if they roll the stone again, it will cause an avalanche!" But seeing the snow block as big as a millstone rolling down from the hanging rock, the momentum is extremely alarming!You must know that these high mountains, covered with snow, often roll down the slopes, especially on the ice peaks in Tibet, there are countless "trough marks" of ice avalanches and avalanches lurking. In case of strong winds or earthquakes, thousands of tons of Ice rocks and snow blocks will also spew down like a volcanic eruption!Even heroes with great supernatural powers will be buried alive by the snow. Although these warriors are not capable of causing an earthquake, boulders will roll down one after another, shaking the ice and snow. As time goes on, the affected area becomes wider and wider. That is very likely to cause a huge avalanche.

Under such circumstances, Gui Huasheng couldn't rush up and fight them desperately under the flying stones and snow blocks, so he had to use his superior lightness kung fu to dodge among the rolling snow blocks all over the mountain. Taking care of Max Canaan, although he is excellent in martial arts, he is also in a hurry, and the snow is falling more and more, rolling bigger and bigger, and their situation is getting more and more dangerous. Seeing the rolling of ice, snow and rocks, the valley roared, and the ice peak seemed to be trembling. Suddenly, a very soft flute sound came from the wind, and the thunderous roar of snow was overwhelming. It doesn't live!

Gui Huasheng's surprise was no small matter. He was not only amazed by the profound internal strength of the flute player, but also by the tune he played.The sound of the flute is soft and melodious, very melodious, like "Jianguan Yingyu is slippery, and the pharynx flows down the ice beach!" It is actually a Jiangnan tune.For the past few years, Gui Huasheng has been running in the borderlands. What he has seen and heard is nothing but grasslands and deserts, and the wind and Hujia. Where has he heard such a melodious sound of the jade flute! After a while, the sound of the flute changed from the Jiangnan sentiment to the sound of Yanyou, as if "the silver bottle is broken and the water is pouring out, and the iron cavalry is protruding with swords and guns!" Invigorated.The more Gui Huasheng listened, the more curious he became. In this iceberg and barren valley, where did the woman from Zhongzhou come from who can understand the rhythm?

However, something even more strange happened. As soon as the flute sounded, the stones and snow rolling down from the mountain gradually became less and less. Quiet, no more stones rolled down!After a while, only the "Dangdang" bell came from the "Devil City", and Max Canaan shouted: "This is the alarm bell for them to call people back." Sure enough, the warriors turned around and ran away. , and the whistle on the top of the mountain came and went one after another, and they knew it was their signal to call their companions back. After a while, the wind stopped, and the valley returned to silence.Max Canaan murmured: "This is really strange, why are they afraid of the sound of this flute?" After a break, he took a deep breath and continued: "I also heard this flute once on the road. At that time, I had already noticed two monks in strange costumes following me, and I was about to expose them and challenge them to a fight, when suddenly the sound of flute sounded on the grassland, but it was not played for as long as today, as soon as the two monks heard As soon as the flute sounded, he hurried away. Did you see it just now? With the sound of the flute, those warriors on the mountain no longer dared to roll stones!" But there has never been such a bizarre thing tonight, and I was puzzled in my heart. After thinking about it, I said: "Since they are afraid of the sound of the flute, the alarm bells have sounded in the Devil City. You just take advantage of this opportunity to escape." Go down the mountain." Max Canaan said: "What about you?" Gui Huasheng smiled slightly and said, "I still want to explore the Devil City again, and I hope to have the opportunity to meet this flute player!" Mai Shi Canaan thanked Gui Huasheng solemnly, and once again asked him to meet the Dalai Lama Living Buddha to convey the wishes of the Baijiao Dharma King, and then said goodbye and went down the mountain.

Gui Huasheng performed lightness kung fu and rushed back to the "Holy Temple".But seeing that the gate of the temple was closed tightly, and the guarding warriors were gone.Gui Huasheng jumped onto the first floor of the White Pagoda, still using the method just now, hiding in the cornices of the corners of the temple, secretly peeking down from the transparent glazed tiles on the top of the temple. But the prince frowned and was talking to a group of monks and warriors. He seemed to be discussing something. They were talking in Nepali, and Gui Huasheng couldn't understand a word, but judging from their nervous expressions, It must have something to do with the sound of the flute tonight.

After a while, three whistles were heard suddenly, one long and two short, followed by the sound of iron rings hitting the door three times, also one long and two short.The prince stretched his eyebrows, and said two words in a deep and hasty voice, the temple door swung open, and a dark night warrior brought in a tall lama in red. The lama in red seemed to be over sixty years old, and his forehead was also wrinkled, but his face was rosy and he was in good spirits. When he came in, he laughed and said in Tibetan: "The prince favored you, and he should have come here sooner." I pay homage to you, but some things are too late, so I hope you will forgive me." The prince went out to greet him in person, with a very respectful ceremony, he greeted him first in Tibetan, and then said: "It is really a blessing for our country to have the presence of the Tibetan spiritual master. I don't know if the Venerable Master is willing to submit to the number one national teacher in our country?"

Gui Huasheng was taken aback. His father, Gui Zhongming, traveled all over Mongolia and Tibet before he was alive. He once told him that there is a Tibetan spiritual master in the Red Sect of Tibet, who is proficient in the wonderful martial arts of Tantric Buddhism. Yi Lanzhu, who is also one of the seven swordsmen of the Tianshan Mountains, once competed with him in martial arts when he was roaming Tibet, and it took him a hundred moves to defeat him.The Nepalese prince met with the envoys of the three vassal kings of Tibet one after another tonight, and the envoy of Qinghai Baijiao Dharma King. He also invited the top lama of the Red Sect to come here. His ambition to plot Tibet cannot be ignored.

Master Heshi said: "Now the Yellow Sect is in power. Although our Sect can't do it in Tibet, it's inconvenient to stay away from the native land." The Prince of Nepal said: "Our country has not yet selected a state religion. Master, your teaching can now be implemented in our country, why not? And there is a great chance to return to Tibet in the future." Master Zang Ling thought for a while, then suddenly swept his eyes around, and looked at the monks and warriors on both sides. A look of disappointment could not be concealed appeared on his face. Gui Huasheng was surprised, only heard the master Tibetan spirit say: "There is no Timodada here?" The prince of Nepal said: "Our small country can't keep him, he has gone to Mecca." Someone asked: "Hasn't Master Longye from India also come?" The Nepalese prince said: "Master Longye has been to Kathmandu, the capital of our country, the year before last, and maybe he will come again next year." Poor, ignorant and ignorant, I also heard that Timodada is the number one expert in the Arab countries. I had the chance to pay respects to Master Longye when I went to Delhi more than ten years ago. His martial arts are indeed worthy of praise. It shocked the world. Thinking about it, these two people should be able to compete with the old beggar Yi in Tianshan." Gui Huasheng laughed to himself, Yi Lanzhu had been dead for seven or eight years, but the Tibetan spirit master didn't know it. Wu never forgets the revenge of that sword.

The red-clothed monk is the most respected among the monks and warriors in Nepal. Hearing Master Zang Ling say this, it is obvious that he underestimated their martial arts, and felt quite embarrassed.The Prince of Nepal said: "It is not difficult for the Venerable Master to meet the two of them. Next year, on Buddha's birthday, I will hold the Unsheltered Conference in Kathmandu. They will definitely come." "It means that all sages, sages, Taoists, and common people, high and low, can participate equally. This kind of open meeting is a grand event in Buddhism. In the history of Chinese Buddhism, only Emperor Wu of Liang held four open meetings in Tongtai Temple, which can be seen in "Southern History".When Gui Huasheng heard this, his heart was pounding, and he spontaneously decided to go to Nepal to watch the Fa conference.

Master Zang Ling sighed and said: "How can I wait for next year? If they are here today, I can use their strength to take a rare treasure together." The Prince of Nepal said: "What rare treasure? Where can I get it?" The Tibetan Ling said with a smile: "It's in this mountain! After decades of painstaking efforts, I only know a little clue. Whether it is as I expected, I dare not say so far." Prince of Nepal Seeing that he refused to disclose what this rare treasure was, he was very puzzled and asked, "Since the Venerable Master has been waiting for decades, there is no need to fight for this moment. Why don't you go to our country first and invite Timodado , Master Longye, come again later." Master Zang Ling shook his head and said: "No, no. Let me tell the prince, I am going up the mountain this time, firstly because of the prince's invitation, and secondly because of this matter A rare treasure! As soon as I arrived at this mountain, I realized that something was wrong. It seems that aliens with extremely high martial arts also came to this mountain. I am afraid that they also came here for this treasure." The Prince of Nepal hurriedly asked: "Go up People found something wrong?" The Master Tibetan Spirit said: "Did you hear the sound of the flute just now?" The prince said: "What?" There are many brilliant people under the tent, can’t you tell?” The Prince of Nepal was startled at first, then laughed and said, “This person definitely didn’t come here for the treasure, I’m worried that she is my enemy!” Master Zang Ling said: "No matter what, I can't let others discover this treasure first. Even if I take a big risk, I will definitely get it tonight. Prince, let's think of a way to get the best of both worlds. You help me get the treasure first, I'll help you get rid of that formidable enemy again. Don't worry, once I get this treasure, I will be invincible in the world!" The Nepalese prince was dubious, and said: "How can we help?" The Master Tibetan Spirit said: "You choose a team of warriors for me, and I will command them." While speaking, he looked at the monks and warriors on both sides again, his eyes full of regret, It's not difficult to guess what's on his mind from his expression, it's a pity that there are no masters among them, but in order to rush to get that rare treasure, he has no choice but to take a risk. The Nepalese prince frowned slightly, and after discussing with the monk in red, he selected eight warriors with swords. Nepalese warriors are known for their bravery. Each of them has a sharp blade called "Gokli Knife". The knife is like a crescent moon and curved into an arc.Master Zangling frowned slightly, and said to himself, "Let's try it out." He took the eight warriors with him and left the temple gate. Gui Huasheng was in a state of confusion, and thought to himself: "What treasure is he looking for, so that he can be invincible in the world?" Curiosity arose, and he wanted to secretly follow this Tibetan spiritual master to see where he dug the treasure. It is a treasure, but then I thought about it: "Looking at the situation tonight, I am afraid that the stranger who plays the flute is coming. If you miss it, it will be a lifetime regret!" After encountering each other, I decided to make up my mind, and finally stayed. After the Master Tibetan Ling left, the princes, monks and warriors chattered back to Nepalese, which seemed to be discussing an important matter.Gui Huasheng couldn't understand their language, and felt bored.After a while, I suddenly saw that the expressions of the people in the temple were tense, and Gui Huasheng's heart was beating endlessly, but he could hear the sound of the wind blowing the flute.After a while, the sound of the flute approached from far away, and the sound gradually became louder and clearer. The tune is elegant and the wind of fairy music is so beautiful and soft. atmosphere! In an instant, the sound of the flute came to the door and stopped suddenly, and the sound of iron ring knocking on the door sounded outside. The monks and warriors were silent, and everyone looked at the prince. The Nepalese prince took out a mask, put it on his face, and followed everyone else. A slit to the eye and lip area looks very comical. Gui Huasheng's heart moved, and he thought: "Could it be that they know this person, and they are afraid that they will be recognized the truth about Mount Lu?" But they feel that things here are getting more and more mysterious! The sound of knocking on the door reached the thirteenth time. With a wave of the prince's hand, the iron door suddenly opened. Gui Huasheng couldn't even breathe in that moment! But what came in was a young girl in white, her face was like a crescent moon, her hair hung down her shoulders, it was short and fit, her complexion was like fat, her eyebrows were lightly drawn, her eyes were slightly blue, she was graceful and vigorous, and she had both!Judging by her appearance and body, she seems to be an exotic girl, a bit like a Tibetan, and a bit like a Han woman, but Gui Huasheng has never seen such a beautiful woman among the Han and Tibetans! Gui Huasheng really can't believe that such a foreign beauty can play the Chinese Jiangnan tune! Even more strange things were yet to come. I saw the girl in white with her cherry lips parted slightly, and said a few words in a Yingsheng voice. Like the sound of the flute, it is intoxicating. Everyone in the temple was silent, and suddenly, the girl smiled slightly, and said in Chinese: "Prince Erdu, you dare not meet me, and you probably know what you are doing here, which is shameful." ?Okay, in order to save your face, I will not blame you in front of everyone, you go back to my country immediately, and I will not mention to anyone what happened tonight!" It's a surprise that this girl can speak Chinese, and what's more, she speaks authentic Beijing dialect. Although it's not fluent, but the pronunciation and characters are very accurate!And from her tone, the Nepalese prince also knows Chinese! Gui Huasheng's mystery was not broken until he later arrived in Nepal.It turns out that Nepal has had friendly exchanges with China since its own history.As far back as the Jin Dynasty of China, the monk Faxian visited Nepal, and the eminent monk Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty also visited here. Soon, the Tang Dynasty and Nepal exchanged envoys.During the Yuan Dynasty, Nepal sent more than 80 architects and sculptors to China. The leader, Anigo, also served as Doctor Guanglu and Da Situ in the Yuan Dynasty. Since then, there have been frequent exchanges between China and Nepal.Therefore, among the upper class in Nepal, they are all proud of being able to write and speak Chinese (mainly Beijing dialect), especially the children of the royal family, who have been accompanied by Confucian scholars who are proficient in Sinology since childhood.The white-clothed girl talked to the Nepalese prince in Chinese, and the intention was naturally to deceive other people. But the Nepalese prince still didn't say a word. The girl in white held a jade flute, drew a circular arc lightly, and said, "Erdu, I have left you a way out. If you don't listen to good words, it's your own fault." It's a disgrace!" While speaking, he slowly walked into the two rows of monks and warriors, his eyes flickering, as if he wanted to recognize the Prince of Nepal among these people!Just when she was about to walk in front of the big Buddha statue, a monk in red made an attack in vain. With a flick of his cassock, he quickly covered the girl in white! Although the red-clothed monk was also masked, Gui Huasheng recognized him as the red-clothed monk who had fought against him before. He suddenly saw him sneaking up behind the white-clothed girl. A cloud of fire, pressing down in the air, couldn't help but be surprised.Unexpectedly, although the red-clothed monk is quick to strike, the white-clothed girl seems to have eyes behind her back, she strikes faster than him, without turning her head, with a backhand finger and a pick of the jade flute, the red cloud from the cassock shakes, She even gave her a small jade flute to pick it away, said it was too late, then it was fast, she flew around, and made three moves in a row, swish, swish, and swish, with the jade flute in her hand, pointing east to west, and the guide to north, unexpectedly It is a fierce swordsmanship move! At this moment, the warriors in the temple also shot together, only to hear the whistling, the room was full of sword lights, the monks and warriors behind her and on both sides flew out their sabers, Gui Huasheng secretly It was not good, he knew that the monk in red was not weak in skill, he was afraid that the girl in white would not be able to deal with those dozens of throwing knives at the same time, so he grabbed a roof tile, crushed it into countless pieces and beat it without thinking. Gui Huasheng's hidden weapon kung fu was originally the best choice, but he was hanging upside down in the cornice of the temple roof, with only one arm free to exert force, and the broken tiles were sent out with the technique of "sprinkling money upside down". Five or six throwing knives were thrown, and five or six flying knives flew behind the girl in white. The girl in white suddenly let out a long laugh, picked up the jade flute, I don't know what technique she used, and with a raised hand, she picked up the cassock of the monk in red, twirling the jade flute like an arm and fingers, The cassock was stretched out, and the five or six flying knives were all rolled up.Even Gui Huasheng was surprised by such a wonderful way of concealing weapons, and he couldn't help but secretly yelled "ashamed", thinking: "If I knew she had such kung fu, why should I be troublesome?" The monk in red lost his cassock and panicked. When he wanted to avoid it, how could he avoid it?The girl in white fluttered her jade flute, which was as swift as an electric switch, and made a loud sound. The stroke of the jade flute actually cut through the thick leather mask of the monk in red. This trick broke Gui Hua's heart even more.I think the jade flute is a smooth round musical instrument, but when used by the girl, it can cut through the leather mask like a sharp sword without hurting the enemy's flesh. This skill, Gui Huasheng It may not be possible to ask yourself! The red monk's mask was cut, and he was stunned. The monks and warriors who were besieging all turned pale in shock. From right to left, the faces of the monks and warriors on both sides slowly swept across. It was strange to say that those fierce warriors were swept away by her eyes, and they were all silent. The hall was silent, and even a needle fell into the ground. You can hear it. The white-clothed girl cast her eyes on the face of the red-clothed monk, and said slowly: "Master of Taoism, you are not in Kathmandu, but you came to Tibet to protect the dharma?" The red-clothed monk fell off the mask without saying a word, Immediately walk out of the temple gate. The Nepalese warriors shouted, and several people ran after the monk in red. I don’t know who in the crowd shot a loud arrow, and several warriors shot their swords again. It seems that these people are the prince’s confidantes. Although he knew he was invincible, he still rushed forward. The girl in white shook her head and sighed, and said coldly: "Prince Erdu, if you don't listen to my advice, don't blame me for piercing your face!" Incessantly heard, several encounters, all the crescent scimitars of those warriors were blown away, the jade flute pointed east and west, and every time it pointed, there was a sound of "divination". In a short time, there were five or six warriors wearing leather masks. Get pierced by her! The girl in white laughed long and loudly, and as soon as the jade flute stopped, the monks and warriors in the temple rushed out like a tide. In a short while, she was the only one left in the empty hall!Gui Huasheng clapped his palms and praised: "The sound of the jade flute, the crowds of demons gather their traces, so good, so good!" The girl in white said: "Thank you for your help, please come and meet me." Gui Huasheng approached the girl in white. Under the glazed lamp in the Buddha Hall, he saw it more clearly, and felt more charming and charming. You're polite." The cherry lips parted, and the faint fragrance hit people, Gui Huasheng's mind was shaken, and he hurriedly returned the gift. When the two met, Gui Huasheng was definitely confused and infatuated, and the girl was also surprised and happy, thinking in her heart: "The Chinese characters are handsome, it is really good." Shown in the look. Gui Huasheng calmed down, and said: "Crazy students are rude, dare to ask the lady's name." In Chinese etiquette, it is a presumptuous thing to ask a strange girl for her name, but fortunately, this girl in white is not rigid. According to Chinese etiquette and customs, he smiled generously: "What's wrong with this? My name is Huayu." Gui Huasheng was stunned for a moment, and said: "This is a Chinese name." The girl in white smiled and said: "Is that so? ?Although I have never been to China, I have longed for China. I heard that you Han people are very precious jade, and you also regard it as a symbol of purity and steadfastness in your books, so I took this name." Gui Huasheng said "Miss really knows a lot about Chinese things." The girl in white said, "I have studied Chinese for several years. If I want to say that I understand China, it is still far behind! What is your name, Mr. Gao?" Gui Huasheng said: " My name is Gui Huasheng." The girl in white giggled again and said, "I heard that in China, brothers and sisters always have one word in the same name, doesn't it?" Gui Huasheng said: "Yes, this is It is a custom to arrange seniority in Chinese families." The girl in white smiled and said, "Your name is Huasheng, and I am Huayu. If we were in China, others would regard us as brothers and sisters." Gui Huasheng was in a state of confusion again. , but seeing her innocent and generous, how could she dare to be presumptuous, and said with a smile: "Yes, that's exactly the case. But how can I have such a blessing to have a girl like you?" You have helped me a lot, it seems that you should be older than me, well, it is not too much for you to be my big brother."
