The letter sent by Monk Bai Jing contained only a simple line of words, which contained the name of a place and a name with a distinct foreign flavor, Geshe Larampa.
After Huangfu Xiaoyuan read the letter, she handed it to Lu Hanjiang, who kept it and asked, "What else did your master say?"
The steward replied: "The master said before his death that if the magistrate did not show up after his death, he would give this letter to the young master."
Lu Hanjiang smiled meaningfully: "In that case, I will accept this letter."
The steward nodded calmly, and then asked: "Master, do you know which room the master of the Qingcheng faction, Yushu, lives in?"
Lu Hanjiang pointed upstairs, and then saw the steward clasping his fists and bowing, then turning around and going upstairs. Soon, the screams and curses of the Qingcheng sect disciples came from upstairs, and there was a bang.
The steward's body fell from upstairs along with the half-broken door panel, and fell on the inn lobby, where it stopped moving.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen disciples of the Qingcheng Sect came out with serious faces and guarded the entrances and exits of the inn. Lu Hanjiang stopped Tianquan who was passing in front of him and asked: "Fellow Taoist Tianquan, what happened?"
Tianquan said: "Brother Yue, don't panic. It's the remnants of the Fox Immortal Tower who are here to seek revenge. It's ridiculous that he doesn't even know martial arts, yet he dares to assassinate my master with a dagger."
Lu Hanjiang suddenly realized and sighed: "So that's it. It seems that there are indeed a bunch of lunatics in this Fox Fairy Tower."
While they were talking, the disciples of the Qingcheng Sect had already searched the inn and found no other thieves. Then they stopped and dragged out the body of the steward of the Fox Immortal Tower and settled the matter.
Lu Hanjiang turned a blind eye to this, and then chatted with Tianquan for a few words. The other party said goodbye because it was getting late. While he was going outside to take a breath, he met Zhao Ziyi who also heard the noise and came out to check.
Seeing the hesitation on the other party's face, Lu Hanjiang asked: "Brother Zhao, what are you worried about?"
"Brother Yue," Zhao Ziyi said hello and said doubtfully, "I am a little confused. I thought that this world should be over, but yesterday and tonight, the Qingcheng faction seemed to be extremely ruthless and did not leave any trace.
There is no room for it, but it is somewhat inconsistent with the rumors."
Lu Hanjiang explained with a smile: "Brother Zhao misunderstood, stop talking, it's because the competition between fellow Taoists did not avoid harming the harmony, so there is this unwritten rule. If you deal with evil heretics, you should naturally eradicate the roots, so that you can live up to it."
The word chivalry."
Competitions in the arena are always called "discussions". Everyone sets the rules and moves only as soon as possible. This is not only to give each other face, but in a sense, it is also to restrict everyone and prevent them from fighting.
Fire is coming.
But there is one exception, and that is when dealing with the devil. The righteous people of Jianghu compete with each other and decide who is the best. But if you are dealing with the devil, the difference is life or death.
Monk Baijing's death was not unjust at all. Although Master Yushu was known to everyone as a good gentleman, good and evil are not mutually exclusive. People would only call him righteous when he slaughtered demons.
"It's me who's pedantic." Zhao Ziyi accepted the instruction.
"It's getting late, Brother Zhao, please rest early." Lu Hanjiang smiled, said goodbye to him, and went back to his room.
One night passed, and in the early morning of the next day, a large crowd had gathered outside the inn. Yesterday, the Qingcheng Sect destroyed the Fox Immortal Tower and killed the evil foreign monks in it. After everyone knew about it, they all came to thank them.
This time it was not Lu Hanjiang's money. Many families in the town had been harmed by the Fox Fairy Tower. The Qingcheng faction's appearance this time was indeed what everyone expected.
This time everyone was praising the chivalry of the Qingcheng faction, and even the families of the thirteen knights who died tragically did not get into a bad mood at this time.
Of course, it is also possible that because of the collapse of the Fox Immortal Tower, the thirteen knights also became martyrs who sacrificed their lives heroically. Like the Qingcheng faction, they became the objects of gratitude from the townspeople. Their fame was right in front of them, and people carried them in sedan chairs.
Things like one or two lives may not be that important.
But not everyone is like this. When Tian Quan was seeing off Lu Hanjiang and others, a child threw a stone at him.
The child's eyes were red, and he asked Tianquan: "You Qingcheng sect is so powerful, why didn't you kill those evil people earlier, why did you let my father die first!"
The deaths of the thirteen knights were ultimately blamed on the Fox Immortal Tower. This was the result of discussions between the Lotus Temple and the Qingcheng Sect.
"..."
Facing the child's questioning, Tian Quan was speechless. Lu Hanjiang came over and patted his shoulder, comforting him: "Fellow Taoist, don't take it to heart. It's not your fault. After all, who knew that Lingcheng was mentally ill?"
.”
Tianquan said with a low expression: "That kid is actually right. I worked with the thirteen martyrs to eliminate the demons, but I was the only one who survived. I had known that there was a master behind the Fox Immortal Tower. If I hadn't been blindly confident, I would have been
If we had asked our masters for help early in the morning, they might not have done this."
】
Lu Hanjiang was dumbfounded. This kid was trying to get into trouble and pushed himself into a blind corner. He didn't really want to relieve the other party, but he was just impatient with a rotten good person like Tianquan.
"With a temper like yours, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later. Why don't you explain clearly what Monk Lingcheng did? If you tell the truth, those people will have no shame in bothering you anymore." Lu Hanjiang tried to say.
However, Tianquan shook his head: "Master told me that this matter is closely related. Master Lingcheng's sword skills have a long history, so they cannot be made public for the time being. Otherwise, it will definitely cause greater disturbances."
"Oh? That's what Master Yushu said?"
After hearing Tianquan's reply, Lu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes slightly. What Yushu said was very interesting. From what he said, it seemed that he knew that Monk Lingcheng was practicing the Blood Demon Sword Technique.
Even further, I am afraid that the old Taoist priest has heard about the fact that this magic power is hidden in Northern Shaolin, or is he one of the insiders?
Tian Quan nodded, looked at Lu Hanjiang and the Zhao brothers and sisters behind him, and said apologetically: "Brother Yue, I'm sorry, I wanted to travel with you, but unfortunately the teacher's orders cannot be violated... Sigh
.”
"Why do you need to be like this, fellow Taoist Tianquan? The rivers and lakes are huge and the days ahead are long." Lu Hanjiang cupped his fists and saluted: "Brother Zhao and I will set off first, and we'll say goodbye."
"Brother Yue, have a nice trip. If there is a chance, we will see you in the capital." Tianquan smiled cheerfully and returned the gift with cupped fists.
After the two said goodbye, Tian Quan returned to the Qingcheng faction, while Lu Hanjiang took Huangfu Xiaoyuan and the Zhao brothers and sisters on the road.
The four rode away on horseback, with a jubilant town behind them. Zhao Ziyi couldn't help but sigh: "Dare to be the first in the world - these knights in the world are indeed worthy of admiration."
Han Zi said: Confucianism used literature to disrupt the law, while chivalrous people used martial arts to violate the prohibition. As a disciple of the academy, Zhao Ziyi naturally agreed with this sentence, but even so, he admired Tianquan's actions very much.
Even at the end, he looked a little confused. If Lu Hanjiang guessed correctly, Zhao Ziyi should have thought of Fang Huayu. In this Fox Fairy Tower incident, the performance of the county magistrate was really disappointing.
