34. Obtain the scriptures and help the lucky stars
() Wei Xiaobao, one of the three treasures he carries with him, relied on it to avoid danger countless times, but he was willing to give it to himself. Liu Meng was greatly moved by the other party's sincerity, and waved his hand: "I can't use this treasure.
Yes, you can keep it for self-defense. Besides, I am a swordsman, so it is useless to ask for this."
After a pause, he thought about Wei Xiaobao's various difficult but fortunate experiences in the book, and then said: "Whenever we have free time, we brothers will think about some beautiful tricks so that people will not be able to take them away easily.
Bring out the sharpness of this dagger, and it won't be a joke to kill a master."
Liu Meng spoke sincerely, and Wei Xiaobao heard that it made sense. He didn't give in much at the moment, and still inserted the dagger into his boot, saying: "Okay, when will you teach me how to do it again? That old witch and old bitch will think about it later."
If you want to catch me, you have to cut off her poisonous claws." Listening to this tone, it seems that she was tortured by the fake Queen Mother Mao Dongzhu in the palace, and I wanted to cut off her claws.
Neither of them had any suitable gifts to give each other, so they looked at each other and laughed again. Speaking of their future plans, Fang Yi and Mu Jianping were going to Shijiazhuang to seek refuge with a man named "Quick Horse" Song San. Wei Xiaobao was going to ask Eight
The monkey Xu Tianchuan escorted him, and after he hesitated a few words, he whispered that he was going to Mount Wutai to visit the relatives of a good friend, and by the way, he would send the ashes of this good friend for burial.
When Liu Meng heard this, he understood that he had been entrusted by Kangxi to secretly go to Mount Wutai to search for the whereabouts of Emperor Shunzhi. Unfortunately, he failed to meet up with Wei Xiaobao yesterday and missed the best opportunity to kill the fake Queen Mother Mao Dongzhu. He would have to think about it later.
Sneaking into the palace to assassinate him, the difficulty more than doubled when Kangxi was already suspicious.
Then he thought, Wei Xiaobao should have already obtained many copies of the Forty-Two Chapters Sutra by now, so why not tell him frankly now that he has special use for these Sutras and ask him not to give them to others.
After just thinking for a moment, Liu Meng made up his mind, put his arm around Wei Xiaobao's shoulders, and whispered in his ear: "I have nothing to do these days, so I just want to go with you to Wutai Mountain to keep you company.
Let’s visit the legendary Buddhist holy land.”
Wei Xiaobao had never walked a long distance alone, so he was a little scared to go to Wutai Mountain in Shanxi alone. However, since it was a confidential matter entrusted by Xiao Xuanzi, it was difficult to ask people from Qingmu Hall to accompany him there. He was worried when he heard what his sworn brother Liu Meng said.
I had to go with him, and I was both happy and worried at the moment.
Fortunately, I had Liu Meng as my companion, so I was never lonely along the way. Moreover, he was superb in swordsmanship and martial arts, so there was nothing to worry about when I was a child. The two brothers just thought of it as a sightseeing trip. But what worried me most was that they were going to Mount Wutai this time.
, but he was secretly looking for the old Manchu emperor. His brother Liu Meng knew that the Manchu faction was a hero against the Qing Dynasty. He found out that he stabbed the old Manchu leader to death with a sword. Wouldn't he feel sorry for the little Xuanzi who entrusted him?
His thoughts were heavy for a moment, but he was unwilling to refuse his brother's kindness. Wei Xiaobao gritted his teeth secretly and said in his heart: Damn it, what old emperor and old boss, wait until Mount Wutai, we can't help Xiao Xuanzi to ask his brother to beg Meng once, let him do it this time
Give up and wait until next time when you find an opportunity to kill.
Seeing that the expression on Wei Xiaobao's face remained unchanged, but his eyes were rolling, Liu Meng knew that he was struggling with how to explain his search for Emperor Shunzhi to him. He secretly laughed, patted Wei Xiaobao on the shoulder, and said: "There is another person.
First of all, let me say hello to you. I came down to the capital this time on my master's orders to look for something extremely important. This thing is closely related to my fate. The elders of our sect predict that I will be in trouble.
I need to rely on this thing to cope with it, but I don't have a clue yet. If you see it in the future, you might as well pay more attention to it for me."
Wei Xiaobao was surprised: "What is so wonderful?"
Liu Meng hissed, his voice very low, and said: "It's a few Buddhist scriptures called the Forty-Two Chapter Sutra. It is said that there are scattered maps hidden in the covers of the scriptures. When they are put together, they can form a complete map.
You can use this to find a secret cave. I need a spiritual elixir and a token in the cave to survive the disaster."
As for Chapter 42, he had decided to rely on Wei Xiaobao to obtain it, so Liu Meng did not hide it at all and told him frankly about the target object for completing the mission in the scene world.
Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but froze when he heard that these forty-two chapters of the scripture were so popular. The old bitch wanted it, the dead ghost Hai Dafu wanted it, and his brother Laomeng also wanted it. But in the end, he was sworn to his brother, so he wanted this book.
The secrets and uses in the scriptures are clearly explained, and it seems that they are indeed useful.
One generation, two brothers. When Wei Xiaobao heard Liu Meng bluntly said that he had been ordered by his master to find this scripture, and that it was used to resolve disasters in his life, he thought to himself: He was going to die on the same day, same year, same month, and same day as Lao Meng. If he suffered
But if a calamity ensues, wouldn't he die as well? This kind of thing is undesirable. The scriptures should be used by Lao Meng to resolve the calamity.
Thinking about this, Wei Xiaobao asked Liu Meng to wait a moment, then turned around and went into the house, took out several books of different colors from a bag, gave them to him and said, "Look, are these the books?
"
Liu Meng took it and looked at it. There were five books in total. Some were yellow silk with red edges and some were red silk with white edges. He was overjoyed and slapped Wei Xiaobao on the shoulder. He said happily: "Good brother! This is the scripture.
I didn't expect you to get so many copies. It saved me a lot of trouble."
At that moment, he picked a nearby table and sat down. He and Wei Xiaobao unwrapped all the covers of the five scriptures, took out the shredded sheepskins inside, and then restored the scriptures to their original state and returned them to Wei Xiaobao for safekeeping, but the shredded sheepskins were
Liu Meng collected it and hid it in his arms.
Five of the eight books with forty-two chapters were completed at once. More than half of the task was completed. Liu Meng felt very comfortable. At this time, the banquet ordered by Wei Xiaobao was ready. Several people sat around and held the wine.
They persuaded each other and drank to their heart's content.
This dinner can also be regarded as a farewell drink. After eating and drinking, Fang Yi and Mu Jianping drove to Shijiazhuang in a large car, escorted by Xu Tianchuan; Liu Meng and Wei Xiaobao prepared two fine horses along the way.
Jian Ma also hired a big cart to carry the ashes of his so-called good friend, so that he could rest when he was tired. He went out of the east gate to see each other off, and after Mu and the two of them, they circled back to the west city and headed straight for Shanxi.
They hadn't slept well since yesterday, and the two of them felt sleepy after walking for a while, so they simply hid in the cart to catch up on their sleep and let the driver drive forward.
About evening, we arrived at a small town more than 20 miles southwest, and stopped at the only small inn in the town to rest. The two casually ordered some bread and mutton to satisfy their hunger, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
In order to facilitate the care, Liu Meng only had a guest room, which was quite clean when he entered. He picked up the tea on the table and felt something was wrong as soon as he put it in his mouth. It was a little sour, but had a sweet taste. This was not a big pot.
The taste of tea powder brewed in it is not the taste of tea brewed with boiling water.
He stretched out his hand to stop Wei Xiaobao from drinking from the tea bowl. Liu Meng put the tea in front of his nose and sniffed it carefully. He asked strangely: "Xiaobao, you are an expert in using medicine. Come and take a look. I will give you this tea."
