Travel to the Water Margin

Chapter 191
The crisp sound of horseshoes broke through the silence of the night.

A caravan came up the winding street.

There were more than ten people in total, all dressed in the same color as Taoist boys.

Everyone carries a burden on their backs, their waists are bulging, and they ride a horse with their crotches, crossing mountains and ridges, and their hoofs are flying like flying.

The leader was actually a [-]-year-old forest priest, with a silver beard brushing his chest, a clear face, but his eyes were like torches, not angry but majestic.

He slung a dust whisk across his waist, and the white flocks on the handle were gently blown by the breeze.

He is Lin Daochang who met Lin Youde once in Dengzhou.

The sun rose from the top of the mountain. At this time, a Taoist boy in the horse team urged the horse to come from behind. He came to Taoist Master Lin and whispered something in his ear.

A nervous look on his face.

Lin Daochang remained calm, took the reins lightly, and slowly raised his left hand to make a gesture, and the entire horse team immediately slowed down.

The Taoist boys reached out and pressed the handle of the knife at their waists in unison, and raised their heads to look ahead from time to time.

Before them a cloud of dust billowed, breaking the morning,
"Let go of your hands! Don't do anything!" Lin Daochang shouted, and the Taoist boys immediately let go of their hands from the knives.

From where the dust and smoke rose in front, three fast horses came galloping towards them.

The one in front is a big man with beards, the one in the middle is a charming woman in revealing clothes, and the one behind is a strange person in a cloak.

The three riders passed by without saying a word, as if they turned a blind eye.

When the two teams first contacted, the three of them suddenly burst into wild laughter.

The laughter was mixed with a strong mysterious force, which made the valley reverberate, and the wind and sand rolled up like a gust of wind.

The three horses also roared, their hooves leaping into the air.

In an instant, the people and horses disappeared, but the laughter and whistles were still heard.

The Taoist boy just now urged his horse to come to Taoist Master Lin and said softly: "Taoist master, this person is not good! Let me see if..."

Lin Daochang stopped him with a wave of his hand, held his long beard in his hand, and thought for a while: "Put on an official uniform."

Immediately, more than a dozen Taoist boys put on their official uniforms on their saddles. Each one pulled off their Taoist uniforms, revealing the polished brass armor of the Song Imperial Army.

"Go." With an order, the horse team started to move forward again.

Lin Daochang sat on the horse, looking around, watching the jungle on both sides of the mountain road vigilantly.

In this life, he has experienced many life and death dangers, seen many heroes, and escaped from death. His past experience reminded him that they had fallen into a huge danger that they had never experienced before.

The three eccentrics laughed unscrupulously, just like a hunter seeing his prey falling into a trap.

And where is this trap?
However, Taoist Lin couldn't tell at all. This was what made him most anxious.

No wonder even the hand can't help urging Malaysia to move forward.

It was not like this before.

Since the official became seriously ill, Zhao's son began to act unscrupulously in the court.

The counter-insurgency order, the overseas trade, and the mobilization of soldiers and horses from the Ten Routes were major events, but when everyone was confused, none of them were carried out without delay.

After the entire civil and military officials were surprisingly silent, they changed in just a few months.

"Is the dispute about to start?" Lin Daochang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Daoist, the front is the Taoist temple where we are staying."

The Taoist temple is located next to the official road in the north of Qingzhou. It is divided into two halls inside and outside. One is for nearby faithful priests, and the other is only for Taoist insiders.

With high red brick walls and vermilion-lacquered gates, this Taoist temple stands on a high mountain.

After everything settled down and a short rest, Taoist Lin was resting, and Daotong sent him a greeting card.

After clicking on the post and looking at it, he was secretly surprised. Why would the third prince in the court send someone to visit him?
He quickly adjusted his clothes and went out of the hall to greet him.

I saw a handsome young man in white clothes standing outside, with a dignified voice, he was Murong Nanyang.

Lin Daochang just walked into the hall.

Murong Nanyang bowed his hands to Lin Daochang and saluted: "Young Murong Nanyang has long admired the name of the Daoist Lord, so he borrowed a card from the third prince to come to pay his respects."

Lin Daochang hurriedly replied: "My lord is laughing, what can Lin do, please sit down, Mr. Murong."

As a Taoist master, Taoist Lin could tell at a glance how extraordinary Murong Nanyang was. It was really strange. This was a soaring dragon whose fate had already been established. However, his destiny was not that of the Song Dynasty. Instead, he was overseas. Could it be that he was the prince of another country? ?
Daotong brewed fragrant tea, Murong Nanyang sat down, and chatted for a few words.

Only then did Lin Daochang ask: "I don't know what orders Master Murong came to pay a visit to?"

Murong Nanyang glanced slowly around and did not answer.
Lin Daochang flicked the sleeves of his Taoist robe, and the guards inside and outside quietly retreated.

Murong Nanyang took it out from his bosom, presented a wooden tray, opened it and saw that it was a golden ingot.
Lin Daozhang shook his head and waved his hands: "This kindness, Mr. Lin understands it! Please Lord Murong..."

Murong Nanyang laughed: "Mr. Lin, this gold ingot is not a free gift. I just admire you for your outstanding Taoism skills, fame all over the world, and high esteem in the Taoist sect. I just happened to meet an official from the Song Dynasty. I don't know anything about it, so I came here to ask you for advice." .”

Lin Daochang hastily declined and said: "Lin's skills are inexperienced, and he has a false name. I don't know what you don't know? Lin thinks that the third prince should be better."

Murong Nanyang smiled and said, "If I could ask the third prince, I wouldn't bother Daoist Lin. I don't know Daoist Lin, but why did the officials suddenly issue that notice? I can't understand it."

Lin Daochang frowned: "It's not my business, I'm sorry Lin can't answer it. Lin's heart is on the revitalization of Taoism, and he never cares about the affairs of the court."

Murong Nanyang's expression changed: "Could it be that Daoist Lin doesn't know?"

Lin Daochang said seriously: "I don't know? I don't know what's going on?"

Murong Nanyang slowly took out a notice from his bosom and handed it to Taoist Lin: "Master, please take a look."

Lin Daochang opened the letter and read it. After reading the letter, Lin Daochang was silent.

After a long time, he got up abruptly, twitched his beard and said, "This is forcing me to fight between Buddhism and Taoism!"

Murong Nanyang laughed: "Mr. Lin, it seems that you really don't know. The officials ordered you to carry out the order to destroy Buddha. Now the whole court is in an uproar. However, if Daoist Lin keeps avoiding the officials and says It might save tens of thousands of lives, Daoist Lin really doesn't know?"

Lin Daochang was startled: "How do you say that? I'm just a monk."

Murong Nanyang clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I won't disturb Daoist Lin's rest. I will take my leave first."

After the Taoist boy asked Murong Nanyang to leave, Taoist Lin fell into deep thought.

Going back to Bianliang was indeed a matter of great importance, and Lin Daochang had to go out in person.

Because Lin Youde was about to enter the Tiansi prison, and when he met him in Dengzhou, he made up his mind that he had to take Lin Youde as his apprentice. tempted?

He couldn't wait to pass on all his Taoist skills, so he rushed to Dengzhou to find out why Lin Youde came face to face.

But I didn't want him to travel day and night, and it went well. I met him once, and made an appointment to meet the next day, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened...

Lin Youde ran away! !

Lin Daochang pondered.

The previous three people, and someone who has been secretly following along the way?
Is it because of this order to exterminate Buddha?
Who is Murong Nanyang who came to wade in the water?
Those who know the details and have the third prince's private seal to pay homage to him are definitely not the ones who take it easy.

Lin Daochang shouted loudly: "Come on, let's hurry back to Bianliang."

"Here!" The imperial guard hurriedly approached, "Yes, Taoist."

Lin Daochang was suspicious in his heart, but he had to go back as soon as possible, who knew if Lin Youde would run away again.

Everyone was ready to go, lit torches, and the fire flickered on and off, walking in the wilderness.

I don't know how long they walked, but in the almost pitch-black forest, frightened birds flew around, and four black shadows flickered in an instant to stop their Taoist master.

Taoist priest Lin immediately reined in the reins and called loudly: "Who is coming?"

Two big men walked out of the darkness, since they were one of the three people they had seen before, they cast a cold glance at everyone.Said: "This way does not work."

Immediately, he drew out the weapon on his body, and the cold light shone in front of everyone.

"How outrageous!!" The Imperial Guards responsible for protecting Taoist Master Lin filed out.

There was a few whistling winds, and two men in black appeared in the darkness and attacked from left and right.

Their goal is Lin Daochang!
"Haha, Five Thunder Palms!"

Daochang Lin's shoulders sank slightly, his palms moved, and he shot out quickly.

With two bangs, the two ninjas in black were struck by the sudden lightning before they got close, and flew out obliquely and hit the tree heavily.

"Hmph, little thief!" Lin Daochang sneered.Before he could finish his words, suddenly a gust of cold wind came from behind him, the man moved quickly, and a long sword came straight to his heart.

Taoist priest Lin had no time to think about it. He shouted angrily, turned around, tapped the saddle with his toes, and jumped forward, avoiding the attack.

Lin Daochang swung his palm and hit the black shadow. The woman's five fingers were painful, and the tiger's mouth was bleeding, and she took a few steps back slowly!

Landing gently, Lin Daochang recognized the charming woman among the three.

"Haha." A series of laughter came from the darkness.

At this moment, all the imperial guards quickly approached Lin Daochang.

A voice came from the darkness: "Master Lin, didn't I warn you not to return to Bianliang?"

Lin Daochang looked towards the source of the sound, and a black shadow fell in front of him in a haze.

I saw Murong Nanyang standing proudly in front of Taoist Lin.

"It's you?"

"Yes! It's me!" Murong Nanyang said softly, and as he spoke, ninjas in black jumped out of the forest one by one.

At a glance, there are dozens of people.

Director Lin's face was livid, his thick eyebrows were raised, and he asked sternly: "Who are you?"

Murong Nanyang sneered and said, "Hmph, you, Zhao family's eagle dog, are worthy of asking me? Hurry up and present the elixir to cure the dog emperor, and I will spare you!"

Lin Daochang's face changed suddenly when he heard the words, and Shuangqing was furious: "Since you know that I have medicine pills for the officials to treat? Did the third prince tell you?"

"Haha, want to know? Then go ask when you go to hell." After finishing speaking, the two people beside Murong Nanyang rose into the air and rushed towards Lin Daochang.

The big man yelled: "Master Murong, leave this bull nose to me!"

However, what happened surprised everyone. There was a wailing, a flash of lightning, and the steel knife and cup flew away, and the big man had been thrown aside.

Murong Nanyang made a hasty move. He knew that Lin Lingsu was not simple, and he really deserved his reputation.

The others didn't dare to be negligent, they moved and jumped, the daggers and darts in their hands kept flashing in the dark night.

Lin Daochang fought against Murong Nanyang, after more than ten strokes, he felt strenuous.

The master's moves are deadly, and the moment they fought, he knew that Murong Nanyang was difficult to deal with, and he knew in his heart that he was definitely not an ordinary bandit.

Murong Nanyang was very agile, he flew up and down with his sword, and the cold light sprinkled over like waves, the two fought for more than ten rounds to draw the winner.

Murong Nanyang's sword technique is unpredictable, strange and changeable.

Taoist Lin saw that it was difficult to resist the enemy, and he suddenly showed murderous intent and shouted: "Five Thunder Palms!"

Suddenly, he saw a white light spit out from Lin Daochang's hand, pointing directly at Murong Nanyang's shoulder, where the blue light flashed.

With a "chi" sound, Murong Nanyang wept blood on his left shoulder.

At this moment, Murong Nanyang was startled when he heard the word Wu Lei Zhang, and quickly dodged.

Even amidst the cries, Lin Daochang's palms covered the top again, advancing and retreating rapidly from time to time, extremely cunning.

The Five Thunder Palm is his famous stunt. He can send out thunder and lightning with his bare hands, which is so powerful that people in the world are frightened by it.

However, Taoist Lin made a swish sound and fled quickly.

"Damn it!" Murong Nanyang clutched his left shoulder, his face turning blue with anger.

"My lord, another group of Imperial Guards is found ahead! Lin Lingsu is likely hiding among them."

"Follow me!"

"Yes!"

At this moment, a series of torches were suddenly lit not far away.

"Look for it carefully! I will reward you heavily if you find the prey!"

"Find it, find it!"

Murong Nanyang came to a place and stared at the ten or so imperial guards in front of him. They bent down and looked for something in the grass.

Not far away, there were a few imperial guards guarding a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy in yellow robes, with a noble face, holding a gorgeously framed bow, and constantly urging the people below to find prey for him.

"Give it to me! Regardless of the ghosts and snake gods, Lin Lingsu must be created, and that person must not be allowed to get the elixir and spoil my good deeds!!" Murong Nanyang's eyes flashed with cold light, and he instantly sentenced the group of people below to death. .

"Yes, Your Excellency the Emperor." In the darkness, the black-clothed ninjas standing on the branches of the trees drew out their weapons, flashing a cold light, and rushed towards the people below.

"Wow! Who are you guys!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Protect the prince!!"

"Go!! This is the Neon Man!!"

At this time, in the Bianliang Palace, Zhao Jinfu frowned and looked at the crescent moon hanging high above her. Beside her was Wei Zong, who was pale and breathed in more than he breathed out. Pour it into Wei Zong's mouth.

Gao Qiu, who was at the side, looked at him coldly: "Didn't you say that the official's illness can be cured by drinking the soup?"

"Master Gao, this is an incurable disease in the official family. The younger ones can only follow the family secret method and delay the time."
Room. "

"Hmph, waste, drag it out and hit 30 boards."

Cai Jing, who was sitting aside drinking tea, slowly put down his tea cup: "Hold on, we still need him to help Guan Jia relieve the pain, we can't hurt him."

Gao Qiu looked at the unconscious Weizong and his hands trembled with anger: "Damn it, it's all the blame on that monster monk, I just said that thing was abnormal at that time! Now the officials have been in a coma for more than a month! What should the court do!!"

"Wait, wait for Daoist Lin to bring back the antidote. Everything will be fine." Zhao Jinfu bowed slightly and bowed to Gao Qi and Cai Jing.

"Well, my lord Diji, will the original government order be temporarily suspended?" Cai Jing looked at Zhao Jinfu.

"The little girl is not talented. I still suggest that the two adults declare to the public that the father is studying Taoist classics in seclusion and will not meet anyone." Zhao Jinfu was also beating drums in her heart. She knew what her brothers had already guessed. You idiot, are you here? where.

"it is good."
