Sword narration is painful in the world

The old woman smiled lightly and said:

"Evil monk, do you really not recognize me? Look carefully, who am I?"

"Amitabha," the Soul-Chasing Buddha stepped back and looked at the old woman up and down, left and right, trying his best to remember, but he seemed to be unable to remember anything.

He looked at the old woman's eyebrows again. Her eyes and cheekbones seemed familiar, as if she had seen them before, yet they seemed strange at the same time.

Then the Soul-Chasing Buddha raised one hand and said: "Amitabha, the female donor forgives the poor monk for his blindness and dare not recognize her."

"Hmph, do you really not recognize me now? Tantai Zilin?"

When the soul-chasing Buddha heard the old woman calling out "Tantai Zilin", he couldn't help but take a few steps back. He was so shocked that he was covered in sweat.

It turns out that "Tantai" is the original surname of the soul-chasing Buddha. For more than thirty years, no one has called him Tantai Zilin anymore. How come she recognizes me?

"The Soul-Chasing Buddha seemed to remember something at this moment, and hurriedly lowered his head and said softly:

"It turns out it's you"

The old woman's eyes suddenly turned red, she nodded and said:

"Tantai Zilin, you didn't expect it, right?"

Who is this old woman?

This has to be said from thirty years ago.

Tantai Zilin, now the Buddhist monk Dantian, worked as an escort at the Changming Escort Agency in Wenzhou, Zhejiang when he was twenty years old.

He wields a knife and is good at shooting darts. He has three golden darts in his bag. Among the twelve escort masters in the escort agency, his skills are second to none.

In addition, he was smart and capable, so the old escort thought highly of him.

At that time, six wealthy businessmen had 200,000 taels of snowflake silver that needed to be escorted from Zhejiang to Ningguo, Anhui.

This section of the road is rugged, with lush grass and deep forests, and thieves are often seen. For safety reasons, the old guard gave him this important task.

Two hundred thousand taels of snowflake silver, this amount is quite large. Even the entire family fortune of Changming Escort Bureau cannot afford this much. Before setting off on the road, the old escort chief repeatedly asked:

"Zilin, the escort this time is no more than usual. The money and goods are valuable. Two hundred thousand taels of snowflake silver were raised by six traders to deliver goods to Anhui. The road is very windy and dangerous, so you must be careful. , especially when you arrive at Qinglong Mountain, you have to be even more vigilant. There are mountains and ridges there, and there are many people in the green forests. Although our Changming Escort Bureau has a wide range of green forests all over the world, people and events are changing, the sun and the moon are changing, and the world is so big, there is always a way out. Places you can’t reach.”

Tantai Zilin smiled and said:

"Old escort Yu, don't worry, as long as I, Zi Lin, are here, there will be money."

Soon, he chose an auspicious day and set off from Wenzhou with 200,000 taels of silver, accompanied by a escort and twenty men. The owner of the silver also accompanied him, and the yellow flag was a blue flag. A colorful tiger, most people should know that it is an escort from the Changming Escort Agency.

However, it is not easy to run an escort agency. If the escort agency earns one hundred thousand taels of silver, it will have to use 70 to 80 percent of the silver as gifts and distribute it to the bosses and the government.

If there is even a slight lack of care, something will happen, or even the job will be ruined. Especially during the holidays, gifts should be doubled.

At the beginning, Tantai Zilin was young and strong, skilled in swordsmanship, and his darts hit every target, so he did not take it seriously that he was escorting two hundred thousand taels of snowflake silver.

He felt that this trip was a rare opportunity to show his face and nothing would go wrong.

So they were hungry and thirsty for food and drink on the way, walking day and night, and unknowingly came to the vicinity of Qinglong Mountain.

The sun was still high that day, so Tantai Zilin invited everyone to stay in the hotel and rest. The waiters and waiters were all surprised:

Today we have to drive another thirty miles and it will not be too late. Why did we stop so early?

But it was inconvenient for everyone to ask more questions. They plated the escort carriage in the shop yard and covered it with a raincloth. The horses were led to the trough and fed, and then they each wiped their faces, washed their feet and rested.

At this time, Tantai Zilin called the waiter Hou Qi into his room, closed the door and asked:

"What do you think of our trip?"

"Hey, bodyguard, do you even need to ask? Didn't you come to Ningguo safely and smoothly?" Hou Qi answered simply.

Tantai Zilin asked again:

"Do you think anything will happen in the future?"

Hou Qi rolled his eyes, thought for a moment and said:

"Escort, it's hard to say."

"why"

"You have to be more vigilant from now on, something might happen."

"What are you basing your judgment on?"

Hou Qi added:

"Yesterday morning, I discovered that there were two strange young men on horseback behind the escort car. They had been following us. It looked like they were two business owners and a clerk. I don't know if the escort noticed it."

"Well, how are they?" Tantai Zilin asked with great interest.

Hou Qi continued:

"These two people have been following us from yesterday to today. When we were about to hit the tip just now, they were still riding in a circle outside the door, and then disappeared soon. The behavior of these two people was very suspicious. Could they be away from home? People from Qinglong Mountain, sixty miles away from this store

The mountain is high and dangerous, inaccessible, and the terrain is remote. It is a place where dragons and tigers are hidden. Be careful when passing there. "

"Yes, I noticed it too," Tantai Zilin said:

"I stayed in the hotel early today just to avoid driving through Qinglong Mountain in the dark. When we get up early tomorrow and arrive there at noon, it will be easier to prepare. You tell the brothers to work harder. When it is safe to reach Ningguo, I will treat everyone to a drink."

After Hou Qi finished speaking, he went out. Tantai Zilin finished his dinner and walked around the escort car anxiously. He stood at the door and looked again. He didn't find anything, so he went back to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, Tantai Zilin took the guys and continued on the road.

Before noon, they arrived at Qinglong Mountain.

There are trails running north and south at the foot of the mountain. There are dense woods on the east and west sides. Everywhere you look is a forest of rocks and overgrown weeds. It is eerie and gloomy. Sometimes you can hear the sounds of wild beasts, making this place look eerie.

Be more afraid of people with rash.

As Hou Qi walked, he shouted to the escort:

"Hey woo" sounds mighty, but in fact, it is a slogan of Green Forest worshiping the mountains, which means:

We passed here and said hello to you.

Suddenly, there was a whoosh from the woods, and a cold arrow shot out. This arrow had no arrow, just a shaft. People in the green forest called it "Xin Arrow", which is to tell you not to go forward.

"Xu" Tantai Zilin quickly reined in the mules and horses. After a while, forty or fifty people jumped out from the woods, all holding weapons.

Hou Qi ordered the waiter to have the escort car play the game immediately.

There are rules in Lulin that when robbing escorts, the escorts will not be hurt or the escort cars will be damaged. The escorts will ride in whichever car they drive.

At this time, Hou Qi was standing at the front, holding the escort flag. The cargo owners were so frightened that their legs were weak and their whole bodies were shaking.
