Chapter 181
Dengfeng Town is located at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain. It is naturally incomparable in scale to that kind of big town at the state level, but if you only talk about the historical background, it is not far behind.
According to the records in the county annals, the history of Dengfeng Town was earlier than the establishment of the Shaolin Temple, but it really flourished after the establishment of the Shaolin Temple.
Songlin Inn, the largest inn in Dengfeng Town.
The people who lodged said that there were not many, and that there were not many, and it was still the same as usual.However, the innkeeper has always been smiling recently, obviously in a good mood.
As for the reason, several of the guys in the inn are well aware that the three Tianzihao rooms on the second floor have been reserved.You know, unless the Shaolin Temple holds a major martial arts gathering, or catches up with some major festivals such as Buddha's birthday celebrations, there are generally no people staying in the inn, occasionally a few, just want a room to stay, not many oil and water.
But this guest is very strange, his appearance, words and deeds are nothing, but he is alone, and he didn't bring any friends with him.It is really a waste to live in three rooms for one person, which is still an expensive three-room room.
"Perhaps it was made with money." The waiter had a white towel over his shoulder, and was holding the meal carefully prepared by the kitchen in his hand, and was about to go up the stairs to deliver the meal to the wealthy guest.Three guests walked in from the door of the inn: "Man, there are three heavenly rooms."
The waiter hurriedly put down the plate in his hand, and turned to greet him: "Guest officer, I'm sorry, the shop only has three upper rooms, but they have already been occupied."
The three guests all wore veiled hats, and their faces could not be seen clearly through the black veil.But judging from their stature, they should be two young people and one middle-aged person.
The young man in the middle who was slightly forward asked, "Did you take it all by yourself?"
"Uh." The clerk was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Uh, it was rented out by an old man. It has been three days and the money has already been paid."
"That's right, he is waiting for us." The young man in the middle smiled, and then led the other two upstairs: "Don't let anyone disturb you for now."
The buddy watched the three of them go upstairs, and shook his head in confusion, but he didn't care. He was just a buddy anyway, and he had nothing to do with what happened.
. . . . . .
After three short and three long knocks on the door, Hua Pengfei got up and opened the door: "It's really slow."
"I was delayed by something on the road." Xu Ruyi explained in a low voice, and then said to Nangong Caiyun and Fang Tianyou behind him: "There are two rooms on the left and right, you can choose one at will."
After a while, the door closed, Xu Ruyi took off the veil on her head, and walked into the room: "How is it? Did you find it?"
"Found it." Hua Pengfei nodded, and then rolled his eyes: "You also said that it took a lot of effort for me. If I hadn't been lucky, according to you, the living god wouldn't be able to find a place! "
"Why?" Xu Ruyi was a little puzzled.
"Still asking?" Hua Pengfei glared: "Wujun Chengdong four o'clock Linchengwang Temple, let you say it is Wujun Chengdong [-] miles Town God's Temple. There are only ten words in total, and you mispronounced five, or the last The key five words, I almost didn't die there!"
"Uh..." Xu Ruyi scratched her head, murmured a few times, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "It can't be all my fault, when that guy said it, he only had one breath left, and he still took it with him. With some accents, isn’t it normal for me to hear the wrong accent?”
"Isn't it normal that I can't find it?" Hua Pengfei complained for a while, and then finally let out his anger: "I found the thing, but it doesn't have any gold or silver jewelry as you imagined, but I guess in your heart, it is more valuable than gold. Silver jewelry is even more valuable.”
"Oh?" Xu Ruyi became interested: "What did you find?"
"Yin Soldier Jia" Hua Pengfei got up from his seat and came to the bed and found a small blue bag, took out a roll of bamboo slips from it and put it on the table: "Look, it's all here. "
"Let me see." Xu Ruyi stretched out her hand to take it, but suddenly her ears moved, and she sternly shouted out the door: "Who!"
"Huh?" Before Hua Pengfei could react, he saw a figure, holding a cold light, breaking through the door.
There was no stagnation, no hesitation, not even a cry.It's just that the hatred in those eyes is as real as it is.
If eyes could kill, I'm afraid Xu Ruyi would have fallen to the ground, but it's a pity that the gap in strength cannot be made up for by other conditions, especially when the opportunity is lost.
"Who are you?" Xu Ruyi looked at the short and fat woman in front of him, and asked with some doubts, holding the tip of the sword with two abrupt fingers.
"Zuo Qiuhua!" He gathered all his strength and tried to pull out the sword, but unfortunately he couldn't get rid of those two green fingers.
"Oh, our family will send you to reunite with that younger brother of yours." Xu Ruyi smiled gently, and asked this question just to know if there was anything else.If not, then there is nothing more to say.
Turning his hand, he broke off the tip of the sword.With a backhand move, the tip of the sword made a "puff" sound and penetrated into the woman's eye.
Driven by the cold force, the woman fell to the ground quietly.
He fluttered his hands casually, then reached out to pick up the bamboo slips on the table and unfolded them.
"Zuo Qiuhua?" Hua Pengfei tilted his head and thought for a while: "That Yunshang Hulu from the Huashan School, Yue Songting's aunt? Why did you mess with her?"
"His brother wanted to kill me for the 10 taels of bonus, but I killed him." Xu Ruyi replied softly.
"Oh, that's no wonder." Hua Pengfei understood in his heart that there was no misunderstanding or reason to speak of the endless hatred.But it doesn't matter, Dongchang's strength today, not to mention Zuo Qiuhua, even if Yue Songting came personally, he couldn't bargain for it.
"Master, what is this?" Fang Tianyou and Nangong Caiyun walked out of the room after hearing the strange noise.
"Zuo Qiuhua." Xu Ruyi tapped the female corpse on the ground with her toe, and said to Fang Tianyou, "Call Xiao Er to clean it up, it's really bad luck."
"Yes." Fang Tianyou responded and retreated.
The innkeeper didn't panic when he heard that someone had died here. He just shouted to the back: "Xiao Zhou, take a few people to Room B of Tianzi, the flowers are blooming again."
"Understood, right away." Someone replied.
Chongfang Tianyou, the shopkeeper, rubbed his hands and smiled and said: "Sir, although Jianghu people often die in Dengfeng Town, it is still a human life. I have to go to the yamen gate to report it soon. I'm afraid a few police officers will come. , if it disturbs your rest, please be patient."
Fang Tianyou glanced at the shopkeeper, waved his hand and said, "Don't let the yamen come, the shopkeeper should be quite capable in this town, so you should be able to handle this small matter by yourself, right?"
"But..." the shopkeeper was about to refute, but there were two more items on the counter in front of him: a gold ingot, which was worth about ten taels at first glance, emitting a fascinating yellow-orange light.Next to it is a sign the size of a palm, with two large characters "Dongchang" written on it.
"Dongchang!" The shopkeeper was well-informed and had obviously heard of Dongchang's reputation.
"Understood?" Fang Tianyou took the token back into his arms: "As long as you have heard of Dongchang's reputation, it will save me a lot of trouble. Accept the gold, I believe you know what to do, right?"
"The little man understands."
After all, it is an inn near the Shaolin Temple. This kind of vendetta has been seen a lot, and it is handled with ease, without any panic.
Xiaoer took a few people upstairs and started to work with a chisel, ax and saw on his back.The door is broken, just replace the door panel, that's all. The inn has ready-made spares, but it's a bit troublesome to wipe the blood on the ground.
While the waiter was busy here, Xu Ruyi held the bamboo slips Hua Pengfei brought and looked at them.After the waiter finished his work, Xu Ruyi raised his head and looked at Hua Pengfei: "Sure enough, it's worth more than money."

Shaolin Temple, Zen Heart Hall
As the master of this room, Master Lingxin naturally sat in the middle and upper position, twirling the beads in his hand and waiting quietly.
With little effort, the heads of the other three religions and seven sects entered the hall one after another and sat on the left and right.
Although they are all powerful figures in the world, there are no outsiders, and they don't need to pay attention to ostentation, just find a place, drink tea, and explain things clearly. Besides, it is very troublesome to pay attention to ostentation when talking about the purity of Buddhism.
When everyone arrived, Master Lingxin got up and gave a Buddhist ceremony: "Thank you, come here, I am very polite."
"Master, you're welcome." Everyone stood up and returned the greeting.
After some politeness, after a few young monks came in and put down tea on the table by everyone's hands and then retreated, Master Lingxin said again: "Although this discussion is in my Shaolin, it was initiated by Sect Master Yue. So this discussion should be presided over by Sect Leader Yue."
"Master." Yue Songting was not polite. He stood up again and bowed his hands to Master Lingxin. Then he looked at everyone and said, "In fact, everyone should already know the purpose of Yue's invitation to everyone this time, which is to discuss the pretext of the White Lotus Sect. In the name of the Sun Moon God Sect, I intend to rebuild Guangmingding. Yue will express his position here first. Yue is firmly opposed to what the White Lotus Sect has done. However, these days..."
Yue Songting nodded to Master Huizhen and Yanying: "Yue learned that the imperial court, or more precisely, the group of eunuchs in Dongchang and the White Lotus Sect seemed to be in collusion, making the originally clear situation complicated. Yuemou thought the question a little easier before.
But it doesn't matter, there is no need for a moment of urgency. Today, my three religions and seven sects are gathered here, representing the righteous way of martial arts in the world, and I will always come up with a complete countermeasure. "
As soon as Yue Songting's words fell, Tang Sansheng followed suit and expressed his support: "That's right, Master Yue's words are reasonable, and Bai Lian can't be taught to take advantage of it."
"Then let me briefly talk about my thoughts." After a pause, Yue Songting said: "Although what we people in Jianghu believe in is about Jianghu, but the White Lotus Sect is involved in it, so it is not just about Jianghu.
Dongchang is the yamen of the imperial court, but the emperor may not know everything about Dongchang, for example, the relationship between the White Lotus Sect and the Sun Moon God Sect, Yue feels that the emperor may not know.If we bring this matter to the emperor, will it happen? . . "
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Dongfang Yu still had that cold face, and said, "The eunuch of Dongchang is a celebrity in front of the emperor's eyes. Maybe he used some reason to convince the emperor. I don't know."
Yan Ying also hesitated and said: "Yes, if one is not good, it will arouse the hostility of the White Lotus Sect. Without the support of the imperial court, I am afraid the consequences will be unpredictable."
"So what if it causes hostility." He Chongxiao said disdainfully: "We are all leaders of the righteous way, watching and helping each other, so we are afraid of him? Besides, we have already torn our faces in the past few years, and the total number of deaths and injuries is hundreds. Thousands."
"It's not the same," Murong Qing said in a deep voice, "The White Lotus Sect is not just a martial arts sect. The number of masters is second to none. The most important thing is that they have an army. In terms of combat power alone, without the support of the imperial court, it is really necessary to fight openly." Standing for a while, I am afraid that the three religions and seven sects of my three religions and seven sects work together to barely equalize, but the masters and Taoists of the Shaolin, Wudang, and Emei three sects, I am afraid..."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at Master Lingxin, Mrs. Huizhen, and Taoist Priest Xuan Cong.
Murong Qing's words were on point.Three religions and seven sects, the three religions are the most powerful, but strictly speaking, all of these three religions are practitioners of meditation and Taoism, with strong strength, but we can't expect these monks, Taoists, nuns, who used to eat fast, chant Buddha, and cultivate themselves. If they come out, just to go thousands of miles away to kill with a knife, then their beliefs are too childish.
Unexpectedly, Master Huizhen got up decisively and said: "Although Emei is a girl, it is the axiom of the world to eliminate demons and defend Taoism. In this matter, Emei will not lag behind others!"
Huizhen's statement made Xuancong and Lingxin a little embarrassed.
The three religions are equally famous, and the Emei faction all nodded. If they don't give a word, it would be a bit inappropriate.
But this fact is too important to make a decision in a moment.
Taoist Xuancong frowned and glanced at Mrs. Huizhen, then turned to look at Master Lingxin, who happened to be looking at him too.This pair of eyes saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
In my heart, I somewhat understand Master Huizhen's impatience. After all, she was originally the leader of the martial arts last time, but due to various accidents, she fell on Yue Songting's head. The reputation of Emei.
But after all, this decision should not be made hastily. Master Lingxin thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Monks are compassionate. Although they also have magical powers to subjugate demons, they cannot kill rashly. Everyone on the left and right will stay here for a few days. Let's It’s not necessary…”
Master Lingxin hadn't run out of dragging words yet, suddenly a bright and cold female voice sounded: "Bailian Tang Sai'er, bring your subordinates to worship the mountain, and please see Master Lingxin."
The voice seemed far away, but the tone was not very sharp. It sounded like the person was right in front of him. It was obviously an extremely skilled sound transmission skill.
"Tang Sai'er?"
"Why is she here?"
"She still dares to come?"
Everyone was shocked.
Master Lingxin got up and said: "The visitor is a guest, then everyone and the old monk will meet these benefactors of the White Lotus Sect together."
