[Comprehensive martial arts] Holy Monk

In the endless darkness, the candle in Chu Liuxiang's hand was like a fishing lamp in the night sea, like a faint hope, but also boundless despair.

He looked at the piles of bones on the ground, and said after a long time: "This is not a square, this is a mass grave. I wondered why there was no sound of wind leaking out of such a huge project..." He paused abruptly He paused, with unconcealable anger in his tone, "Because the workers who knew about this treasure have all been killed here! Bai Yujing's people are so vicious, they are afraid to let one go, and drive them all here. Kill them one by one!"

Shen Mianben listened in a daze, and suddenly shivered: "...Since this place is used to pile up dead people, is it a dead end? Are we trapped here!"

Chu Liuxiang sneered and said, "Maybe that's exactly the case. You think you're playing with that Fang leader in the applause, but how do you know that he didn't play tricks on occasion and deliberately wanted you to be buried here too?"

Shen Mian was extremely stimulated, and immediately sternly said: "Impossible! Even if he doesn't care about my life or death, he also cares about the second half of the golden cicada and jade transformation! Besides, why did he want to kill me, how could he want to kill me!"

Chu Liuxiang was silent for a moment, and said, "How do you know that he must need this half of the scriptures?"

A burst of bone-chilling cold instantly soaked the slumber.

As if in a dream, she murmured: "Yeah...but he's not in good health...exactly the same as Lord Hou...he..."

Chu Liuxiang sighed and said: "You know how to play, so he can't? He lost his father when he was young, suffered from the warmth and coldness of the world, and has such scheming from the city government that he can set up such a poisonous plan without bloodshed. How can he be a real brat?" After a moment of silence, he said slowly, "What's more, have you ever read the first half of the scriptures?... How do you know that the scriptures placed here must be the lower half?"

Shen Mian was stunned.

Chu Liuxiang didn't have the heart to speak too cruelly, and said: "This is just a temporary guess. Maybe there is still a way out, let's go ahead and see."

The three of them walked along the corpse silently.

Shen Mian seemed unable to accept that her invincible side would be frustrated, so she walked in the front in despair.There is a cold and decaying smell in this corpse pit. Walking in it, it seems that there are thousands of ghosts wailing above their heads, hovering here for decades, but she also seems to be invisible, not like a normal woman.

Chu Liuxiang was oppressed in her heart, she just kept thinking in silence, not noticing that Fang Tianzhi hadn't spoken for a long time.And the square finally came to an end. Shen Mian looked around anxiously by the candlelight, but saw that above the last few stone steps was a large stone wall as smooth as a mirror. petal lotus.The lotus flower temple is several feet wide, and so is the height. It seems to cover the sky and the earth in full bloom. If people stand close, they can't see the whole picture even if they look up and stand on tiptoe.

Shen Mian ran up the stone steps, paused to search carefully, suddenly threw herself on the lotus heart plate and laughed loudly: "He didn't lie to me, here! There is a keyhole here like the stone door of the secret room!"

Hearing this, Chu Liuxiang glanced at where she was pointing, and heaved a sigh of relief, "It seems like we might not have to die here."

With disheveled temples and a radiant face, Shen Mianyun leaned on the stone door very charmingly and said, "Why are you holding the key by yourself, are you afraid that there will be some hidden mechanism? Do you really want me to open it?"

Chu Liuxiang was about to speak when Fang Tianzhi suddenly said, "Benefactor Chu, why don't you let the poor monk come."

Chu Liuxiang frowned slightly, and said, "You..."

Fang Tianzhi smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Since the poor monk can bear beatings, wouldn't it be most appropriate to leave this matter to the poor monk? You don't have to worry about anything."

Chu Liuxiang understood that what he said was reasonable, thought for a moment and said: "Okay. Be careful, I will support you."

The lotus jade pendant sank into the keyhole.

Fang Tian's heart was as still as water, and he only flicked his cuffs lightly, and pressed the blue litmus disk which was the same height as him and turned it to the right.

There was no earth-shattering vibration, there seemed to be a slight tremor in the depths of the stone wall, and the door opened lightly like this——

The disc slowly rotated, it was a circular trap!

Shen Mian laughed happily, and was the first to throw herself into the satin-like bright candlelight flowing through the door, and exclaimed softly, "I knew he didn't lie to me! How could he lie to his sweetheart?"

She smiled so brightly, and naturally turned her head to look forward——

Behind this door, there are three people.

Among these three people, two were standing with their heads bowed deeply, but they were not standing on the cold green bricks, but were bathed in the cigarettes from the Golden Toad incense burner, and stepped on the Western Region rugs worth tens of thousands of dollars, like Standing left and right in front of a suet jade mat like clouds.

Fang Tianzhi recognized these two people, the linen clothes and linen trousers on the left, and the one-armed sword, were Huaixu; while the white skirt on the right, covered with a green veil, was a young girl—they were like servants, like concubines He is so humble and humble, as if he is serving his master in fear.

And on that jade mat, a young man in white shirt was sitting with a sick face.

The young man's snow-white skirts fell on the blanket like two soft clouds, and the candlelight fell on his shoulders and knees, as if covering him with a layer of brilliant clouds.He sat alone in the dazzling light, with a strange and stern bewitching power in his brows, as if he was born so high and high that no one could match him.

The reverberation of Shen Mian's tender voice still echoed outside the door, but she stood still like a wooden sculpture.

After a while, she came back to her senses, knelt down on the ground softly like a puddle of mud, and murmured: "Master!"

The young man ignored her.

He just looked at Fang Tianzhi quietly.

Fang Tianzhi looked at him calmly, only to see that the young man's long black eyelashes fluttered slightly, a faint smile appeared in his familiar eyes, and he said in a warm tone: "You are finally here, and I am here in vain. Waiting for you here."

His voice is also very young, as if he is about the same age as Fang Tianzhi, but his attitude in words is like that of an elder.

Fang Tianzhi said: "You recognize me?"

The young man said, "Don't tell me you don't recognize me anymore?"

Fang Tianzhi closed his eyes slightly, finally figured out all the junctures, and said after a while: "Amitabha! Uncle, long time no see."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Mian suddenly raised her head and looked at him.And Chu Liuxiang, who was quietly standing by the door, couldn't help but said in amazement: "What did you say? How could he be your uncle?"

The young man's eyes fell on Chu Liuxiang calmly, and asked: "Are you Chu Liuxiang?"

Chu Liuxiang said neither humble nor overbearing: "I have admired your name for a long time, Master Fang."

The young man smiled slightly, and said, "Master Fang? Maybe in a few decades, you can call Xue Jing that. But his surname is not Fang, but should follow my surname. My Han Qi, since you are from Heaven Friends, you can call me Uncle Han."

Chu Liuxiang was stunned suddenly.

He couldn't believe his ears, nor his eyes. This young man was only at the age of Guan, and he couldn't see any trace of disguise. How could he be Xue Jing's biological father?How could there be a disguise in this world that he couldn't recognize?

...Did he use a real human skin mask?

Han Qi seemed to be able to guess Chu Liuxiang's mind, and said eloquently: "I guess you are thinking, I must have a human skin mask on my face."

Chu Liuxiang said in a deep voice: "That's right. But it's absolutely impossible. In the past 50 years, only two people have been able to make such an exquisite mask, but they have long since died."

Han Qi said: "You are right. They are already dead. But this mask of mine was made more than [-] years ago. At that time, Wanmiao Palace had not been burned to a white ground by your Daqimen. The man with thousands of faces is still alive and well. He still wonders why I asked him to make a mask exactly like myself?"

As he spoke, his tone changed from clear to deep, as if it was the voice of a middle-aged man, "There are many things in this world that you don't know. If young people are as confident as you, maybe they will Suffer a little loss. But I like you very much, if you are young, how can you become a hero?"

Chu Liuxiang was stunned again.

His master's biography has never been known to the world, Han Qiruo is really Xue Jing's uncle, who has lived in the mountain temple for more than ten years, why can he know so many secrets just after leaving the mountain?

But Han Qi didn't pay attention to Chu Liuxiang any more, but turned her eyes and cast a focused glance at Fang Tianzhi.

He said: "Knowing that I am your father, you don't seem to be surprised at all? That's good, you have always been so smart, I just need to give you a little hint, and you can do well."

Fang Tianzhi was silent for a moment, and said: "I have indeed thought through a lot. At the beginning, you didn't have any accidents, but you left the temple by yourself... I have asked others everywhere if they have ever seen a monk like you. , but except for the horse face, no one has ever seen it. At that time, I should have thought, after four years, maybe you are no longer a monk?"

His eyes slowly slid across the long black hair behind Han Qi's shoulders, and he continued, "Horse face pretended to say that you were killed in the sea, probably because you had seen him in secret and threatened him to tell lies for the same reason. Lead me to Lin Wangsun and get in touch with Bai Yujing's people step by step, so that I can hear the truth with my own ears... I wonder if I'm right?"

Han Qi was also silent for a moment.

When he opened his mouth again, he said something irrelevant: "The box I left in the temple, do you still have it with you?"

Fang Tianzhi said: "Yes."

Han Qi said slowly: "This box was cut slightly, and it was originally filled with the hairpin left by your mother. Your grandfather passed down the treasure of the lotus, and A Mujie sent it to me, so I inlaid the jade key into a hairpin." Hairpin, give it to her hairpin."

Fang Tianzhi was expressionless and just listened quietly.

Han Qi didn't care, and just said lightly: "Your grandfather is amazing, but he was envied by the sky. He left too early, and the twelfth floor is his old brother. Naturally, some of them don't agree with me. I was born in the younger generation. My Han family's martial arts come from the treasure of lotus flowers, golden cicadas and jade. How difficult it is to practice. I am now in my forties, and I have just completed my miraculous skills! If the traitors found out that my martial arts had gone wrong, I, Han Qi, would have to die But who among them is loyal to me, and who wants to harm me? After thinking about it for a long time, I found that there are too few people I can trust and rely on. If I just leave, regardless of whether Bai Yujing will change hands or not, I will not be able to rest in peace if the internal troubles are not eliminated for a day, so I thought of a way to release the secret of the lotus treasure, and specially met her in the Central Plains. A few good friends. These few good friends are still alive, and you have seen them all."

He said the word "good friend" calmly and gracefully, without rush or slowness, as if there was a faint smile on his face.

Fang Tianzhi then asked: "You gave Lin Heyi the three ships of gold and silver treasures that he got out of the sea?"

Han Qi said: "That's right. I always pick my friends very discerningly, and they can always come in handy for what I need. As expected, my good friend did not disappoint me, and soon learned about the lotus treasure from Bai Yujing. I saw that the time was ripe, so I discussed important matters with them, planning to take advantage of Brother Shen’s daughter’s hundred-day banquet, to lure the traitors in the city to land and attack me, and secretly ambush people to cooperate with them inside and outside, and wipe out the traitors.”

Fang Tianzhi said indifferently: "Have you fulfilled your wish?"

Han Qi smiled and said: "Of course they did what I wished and helped me eradicate Bai Yujing's internal troubles. These traitors came to attack and kill me, and what they did was nothing more than the secret of the lotus treasure. What if I haven't arrived and can't share the spoils?" Is it good? The more evil people make friends, the harder it is to trust each other, so they all came, only one person did not come. This person is the smart person who conspired with my good friends..."

He said, turned his head and smiled at the young girl, "Hang Zhen, do you know why I refuse to marry you? If a smart person like you sleeps beside my pillow, how can I sleep peacefully one day?"

The young girl trembled slightly.

But she didn't say a word of excuse, she just said in a low and gentle voice: "I understand."

Chu Liuxiang was curious when he heard the key point, so he couldn't help asking: "Could it be that those people took advantage of your exhaustion after the battle and suddenly turned their backs and forced you to hand over the lotus treasure and the golden cicada and jade transformation?"

Han Qi glanced at him indifferently, but didn't mind him interjecting, and sighed: "That's right. They arrested Ah Mu and questioned me. But Ah Mu is definitely not an ordinary woman. I escaped by luck. She is gentle by nature, doesn't like to fight, and has never shown her martial arts in front of others. This dangerous move is indeed the right one. Although I am no match for everyone, but I have no restraints, so I escaped with my life naturally. Deep in the mountains, until now."

Chu Liuxiang nodded and asked, "Since the internal troubles have been eliminated, why didn't Uncle Han go back to Baiyu Jingzhong to cultivate?"

Han Qi smiled and said: "My martial arts are still there, so some people naturally don't feel rebellious. But if something goes wrong during my practice, who knows if people's hearts will change?" He paused lightly, and said meaningfully, "What's more, I If I go back, Hang Zhen will always report to my good friend, and when I am done, these people will have their livers broken and run for their lives, what should I do? Today, how can I see such a situation A good show?"

Fang Tianzhi sighed, and said softly: "You spent all your time and set up a scam, but you didn't directly take revenge, just to watch this good show?"

Han Qi smiled slightly, stared at Fang Tianzhi coldly and intently, and said slowly: "Tianzhi, when you and I have reached the level of martial arts, crushing an enemy is like crushing an ant. But an ant knows it's not The opponent will not suffer too much when he dies. So we are about to see how a group of ants struggle complacently, thinking that they can play with elephants in the applause, and when they are ecstatic, gently shake them Squeezing to death... only if the ants feel real pain and despair, this can be called revenge, do you understand?"

Fang Tianzhi closed his eyes and said, "Amitabha! The sea of ​​suffering is boundless!"

Han Qi remained expressionless for a while, as if she couldn't get used to his monk style, she said in a soft voice after a while: "You are actually wrong about one thing. I brought you to Haihou City not just for the sake of Let you see the truth back then. Tianzhi, you are my only son, and everything I own will be yours in the future. You and I have been separated for four years, so I should give you four birthday gifts."

Fang Tianzhi was indifferent, and said calmly: "Once you enter the Buddhist door, you will forget everything in the world. There is no heaven here, only a monk. Now that you have returned to vulgarity, you are no longer my uncle..." After he said this , the voice paused slightly, "The benefactor kindly accepts it. It's just a congratulatory gift, so there is no need to mention it."

Han Qi snorted and said, "You don't intend to recognize me?"

Fang Tianzhi said: "If it's father and son, why should we recognize each other? If it's not father and son, how can we recognize each other?"

Han Qi was not angry.

He sat motionless on the jade mat, and still gently held the hands on his knees, but Qing Nu and Huai Xu beside him had already knelt down together.After a while, he said, "You only have these things to say?"

Fang Tianzhi looked at him blankly: "No, the poor monk has something else to say. When I returned to the temple, the master had passed away—"

He asked coldly, "How did he get away?"
