There was a large bamboo house under the stone wall. Zhang Wu took the lead and went in first. Guan Er and Jiang Zhuzi filed in. They saw an old man lying on the bed in the back room, and a young man in his twenties sitting at the head of the bed.
Feed the old man the medicine one spoon at a time.
This strong man is Iron Legs Long San. He is famous in the martial arts circles of northern Yunnan for practicing Kung Fu with Iron Legs passed down from his family.
Long San hurriedly put down the medicine bowl in his hand, turned around and clasped his fists in salute. The old man on the bed also wanted to get up, but Jiang Zhuzi rushed over and held him down: "Old man Long, you are sick, just lie down and rest, Mr. Guan
Go out and talk to the old man about something." He picked up the medicine bowl and fed the old man some medicine.
Long San nodded gratefully to Jiang Zhuzi, and followed him out of the bamboo hut when he heard Zhang Wudao: "Lao San, Taoist priest Guan is going to meet that guy inside, so you can protect him."
Long San nodded repeatedly and went into a cave on the stone wall first. Guan Er Maoyao followed him in while Zhang Wu stood guard outside the cave.
After walking about ten feet inward, I turned a corner and my eyes suddenly opened up. It turned out that I had entered a courtyard in a cave. Seven or eight feet above my head, there was a stone crack more than three inches wide, which let the light through.
Come down.
There were several large rocks piled on the ground, and a skinny prisoner was tied with an iron chain on the rock. The prisoner was sitting on the rock, with long hair reaching his knees, and a thick beard that covered his entire face, with only a pair of eyes exposed. When he heard the noise, he turned his head.
, stared at Guan Er and smiled: "Taoist Master Guan is here again?" He is the only descendant of Qionglai Sanchou who fled to Junshan two years ago and was captured by Song Xiong. Their adopted son Feng Tangfeng
Dalang.
Guan Er walked to the stone opposite him and sat down, throwing a small gourd over: "Try the rice wine made from the newly produced rice in Junshan last year."
Feng Tang took it in his hand, and with the iron chain on his body clattering loudly, he pulled out the stopper of the gourd, sniffed it with his nose, and said with a smile: "Not bad." He shook his head and threw his long hair behind him.
He opened his mouth and started drinking. He took a few big sips and let out a long sigh of relief.
Guan Er didn't say anything. After he finished drinking, he took the empty gourd and said to the iron-legged Long San who was waiting next to him: "Lao San, shave his face."
Long San took out a dagger, stepped forward to hold his head, rolled up his long hair and made a bun, and then hung up the beard on his face.
Feng Tang did not resist and let Long San do what he did. After a while, a handsome face appeared, which was full of haggardness.
Guan Er took out another bronze mirror and handed it to Feng Tang. Feng Tang took it and looked at his face for a long time. He was stunned for a long time and shed a few tears.
After a long while, Feng Tang said: "It's been two years, and you're just planning to take action now?"
Guan Er took out a confession from his arms, handed it over and said: "Take this confession, go to the West Zhenwu Palace and call the door, make the matter bigger, the bigger the better."
Feng Tang took it, looked at it, and held it in his arms. After a moment of silence, he said to Guan Er, "Taoist Master Guan, I really want to be a Taoist priest."
Guan Er nodded.
Feng Tang sighed again: "My Feng family's ancestral kung fu, I had no intention of learning since I was a child, so the adults in the family tied up a few teachers to teach me how to read, read, and learn Taoist scriptures. After I learned it, I became more and more addicted to it.
I not only want to be a Taoist priest, but also a monk, I want to practice!"
Guan Er said nothing and continued to listen.
"But no one told me how to practice? No one told me whether I had the qualifications? No one told me where to find the master who would lead me to the threshold of practice? Where are the legendary pavilions and pavilions...
…
…It doesn’t matter, I am willing to start as a lay practitioner of fire engineering, and I am willing to work hard. I believe that as long as I work hard, I can find my own destiny!
...My foster father, second uncle and third uncle agreed to the condition of being named Dong in order to allow me to enter Xizhenwu Palace, but they died because of this. But Dong did not keep his promise...
...Where can I get the chance to be a layman in Wujiyuan? Only by going to Xizhenwu Palace and Xuanyuan Temple can I have a chance to meet the immortal master...
… All the elders in my family are dead, but Dong didn’t keep his promise! He actually didn’t keep his promise! Not only did he not keep his promise, he also sent people to hunt me down! The head of Wujiyuan named Jiang, put
I climbed down the cliff from the back mountain of Wuji Mountain..."
Guan Erdao: "As long as you come forward this time, my temple will avenge you."
Feng Tang nodded: "Thank you... Taoist Master Guan, I am not saying all this to complain to you. I just want to tell you how much the Feng family has paid in order to find a chance to practice! I have been deceived.
Once, I don’t want to be deceived a second time! In order to practice, I am willing to do anything!”
Guan Er thought for a while and said: "My temple is an immortal master, you know this."
Feng Tang nodded: "I heard the leader of Song Village mentioned it."
Guan Er said again: "My family's Miao Zhu said that this time you may have to go to court, get slapped, or even have to do hard labor for three or five years. But what your foster father and others committed is their business, and they have already done it."
Death will pay for the crime, and as long as your family has not committed any crime, you may not die."
"I have a clear conscience about this."
"But my family's Miao Zhu will not come forward to protect you. The three ugly men in Qionglai have a really bad reputation."
"I understand this."
"Maybe you won't survive it and die in prison."
"I know."
"But as long as you get through it, you can come to Junshan to pray at my family temple. Is there anything else you want to say?"
"... Please express my feelings to Master Zhao on my behalf: My Feng family has already paid for the crime. The biggest wish of the three deceased elders for me is that I can embark on the path of spiritual practice and hope that Master Zhao will fulfill my wishes... I am
I really want to practice!"
Guan Er stood up and said to Iron-legged Long San: "Give him a full meal, find some clothes, and let him go down the mountain."
Guan Er came down from Jundu Mountain and returned to Zhao Ran, repeating Feng Dalang's words exactly as they were.
After hearing this, Zhao Ran was stunned and said for a long time: "It's hard to find immortality..."
Feng Dalang's story really touched Zhao Ran, reminding him of his desire to find immortality. He even suddenly had an impulse and picked up a pen to write a letter to Abbot Bai of Xizhenwu Palace.
.But I rubbed the penholder with my fingertips for a long time, and finally put it down.
Feng Dalang's life no longer belongs to Zhao Ran, his fate has long been determined, or in other words, some people need him to wash away the stains on their bodies.
After sighing, Zhao Ran had no choice but to let go. In the midst of the general situation, why talk about saving people? At this moment, he slightly regretted it - Feng Dalang didn't have to die originally, if he didn't give Feng Dalang as a bargaining chip.
Call Bai Tengming...
It's too late to say anything now, so this is not the time to sigh. He is now focused on waiting for the progress of the incident.
In the evening of the same day, Zhao Ran received a letter from Chen Zhizhong, a well-known guest of Wuji Academy. The content of the letter was very brief, telling Zhao Ran that during the recent period, the master of Fangtang, Jiang Zhiheng, had not shown up and seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
In general, Chen Zhizhong calculated that he had not seen Jiang Zhiheng for nearly ten days.
He also made a special trip to Dianzao House and found no record of Jiang Zhiheng going out for business or asking for leave to go home.
Chen Zhizhong was not sure whether this matter was of any use, but since he discovered the problem, in line with the principle that it is best to report all major and minor matters to the leadership, he still wrote the letter.
With Zhao Ran's sensitivity, he immediately realized something was wrong, and immediately asked Zhou Huai to go to Wuji Courtyard to inquire about Jiang Zhiheng.
Zhou Huai went there for two days and rushed back overnight. He told Zhao Ran that Liu Zhiguang, Ma Zhili, Fang Zhihe, Mo Zhixing and others had not seen Jiang Zhiheng for a long time. But Liu Zhiguang had found out that Wujiyuan Fangtang
The four top players all took leave last month and are currently away from the mountain.
