[Comprehensive martial arts] Holy Monk

Fang Tianzhi has always been gentle and kind to others.

Wushang has known him so far, and has almost never heard him say a serious word, even for the great compassion.But at this moment, his attitude towards the captain could not be said to be very polite.

Although Wushang was holding the bowl, he suddenly felt very hungry.

He turned his head and stared at Fang Tianzhi intently, as if curious about what he was going to do.

Captain Chen was also hesitating, and he didn't know what to do.

In his opinion, Fang Tianzhi's words were extremely contemptuous, even arrogant, but not only did it not make him feel angry and ridiculous, on the contrary, it made him slightly suspicious and uneasy.

Since his debut, Captain Chen has seen too many youngsters who like to show off.But like this monk who sat cross-legged and said to him, "Come and try to kill me", there is not a single one.As the saying goes, how big is the plate, how big is the dish, if the monk has no skills, how dare he speak wild words in this vast sea?

Captain Chen opened those black bean-like round eyes even more roundly.

He looked Fang Tianzhi carefully from head to toe again, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

The monk was dressed in a soiled bamboo cloth monk's clothes that had been washed yellow, his feet were stained with muddy sandals, and the patched bag on his shoulders was empty, and he saw that he only contained dry food and a change of clothes - he was undoubtedly a poor ghost.But such a poor monk, who usually eats bran and swallows vegetables and suffers a lot, how can he have a face that is not exposed to the wind and sun, and a pair of white palms like teeth?

What's more, he is still a very young monk, to be precise, a very young man——

If you look at him as a young man, he is handsome enough to be unforgettable.

A handsome man like him, even a monk, is unlikely to be poor.

Then he appeared on this broken ship, wouldn't it be more strange?

Captain Chen cursed the dead pockmark secretly, while silently scanning Fang Tianzhi, he saw him sitting cross-legged in a haze of sunlight, still eating his meal peacefully.After thinking about it for a while, he smiled kindly: "I respect the master, how can I bear to meet you with swords and swords? You have a compassionate heart, but you must do everything according to your ability..." He said, slowly folded his hands and frowned. After thinking about it for a while, he caught a glimpse of a sailor bringing an empty box up from the cabin, and called him, "Who is that, do you know how to use a knife?"

The sailor put down the suitcase, wiped the sweat on his clothes, and said, "I will."

Captain Chen nodded, pouted at the long knife thrown by the scholar on the ground, and said, "Take this knife."

The sailor stooped to pick it up.

The moment he held the handle of the knife with his right hand, Captain Chen suddenly took out an ingot of gold from his sleeve, and threw it at him silently.

Dusk will go.

In the golden light that filled the boat, suddenly there was another ray of light.

With a flash of the knife, the sailor scooped it up in the air, and honestly spread out his left hand—three broken pieces of gold were lying in his palm.

In an instant, he had already slashed twice!

Captain Chen nodded with satisfaction, and said, "You're okay. Mazi is dead, and you will replace him from now on."

The sailor was overjoyed, scratched his head with his knife, and said, "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

Captain Chen looked around, the old woman was still huddled in the corner, staring blankly, as if she had been frightened silly, and among the remaining two guests, the young monk was holding the rice bowl expressionlessly, while the elder monk was still eating the cornbread with relish. .

Captain Chen was not in a hurry to talk to Fang Tianzhi, but instead smiled at Wushang: "Little monk, do you think his saber is fast enough?"

Wushang said: "So-so."

Captain Chen said: "Have you ever seen a faster one?"

Wushang said coldly: "Gold is just dead, it can't dodge the coming knives."

Captain Chen was slightly taken aback, and then replied: "That's right. It's no skill to split gold into three pieces with a knife. If you can cut a butterfly's wings into seven or eight pieces, that's considered a sharp knife." He signaled the sailor to leave , continued with great interest, "If someone uses a knife to do this, according to the little monk, is it fast enough?"

Wushang said: "Are you talking about yourself?"

Captain Chen seemed to think this little guy was very interesting, he laughed out loud, and said modestly: "I can indeed use a knife, although I dare not show it to the experts, but it's not too slow to make a knife." He looked again The gold that the sailor put on the table, "I met the master for the first time, so I don't know enough. Little monk, do you see that your master can hide the knife faster than a butterfly?"

Wushang pressed the rice bowl on the table with a loud sound, and said, "I don't know."

Captain Chen said again: "Then your master's bones and flesh are stronger than the gold on the table?"

Wushang looked indifferent, and said indifferently: "If you want to know about my master, you should ask him yourself. Why did you ask me?" He walked to Fang Tianzhi without looking at anyone else, Stand still.

Fang Tianzhi had just finished eating a steamed bun, and was brushing the crumbs off his skirt with his fingers.Seeing Wushang coming, he said: "You don't want to eat mackerel anymore?"

Wushang pulled his face and said: "Don't eat."

Fang Tianzhi said: "Even if you don't eat mackerel, why don't you eat rice with beans? At least the rice is hot, and it's better to eat with some pickled vegetables than cold steamed bread. Benefactor Chen is kind enough to give, you just open your belly and eat it. With me Now, you won’t be afraid if you’re numb.”

Wushang stubbornly said: "I don't care about eating his food."

Fang Tianzhi sighed softly: "Amitabha, you are still young!" After finishing speaking, he ordered, "Then you go and serve me rice with peas. Don't eat fish, shrimp or meat, pick more pickles and put them on the floor."

Wushang couldn't help squinting his big black grape-like eyes, staring at him silently.Seeing that Fang Tianzhi was unmoved, he couldn't help sighing from the bottom of his heart, and went to feed him sullenly.

When the bowl was in his hand, Fang Tianzhi Hulu took a bite, seeing Captain Chen staring at him dumbfounded, he stopped chopping his chopsticks for a while, nodded slightly and said: "The bamboo shoots are well marinated."

Rice is rice mixed with narcotics.

At this critical juncture, even if it is a starved ghost reincarnated, as long as he has not lived enough, he will probably not eat this bowl of rice——

Unless he is not afraid of the medicine in the meal, and he doesn't pay attention to the opponents who are full of boats!

Captain Chen was uneasy, but smiled on his face: "Master is really very bold."

While eating, Fang Tianzhi talked with him calmly: "The poor monk knows what the benefactor wants to ask. The poor monk also knows a little bit of sword skills, and it is not too slow to use the knife. But after receiving the benefactor's fast meal, he broke the benefactor's rules , how can we swing the knife at the benefactor again? Fortunately, the poor monk's body is still strong, probably stronger than gold."

Captain Chen's smiling face froze a bit.

After all, he claims to be a businessman, not a desperado who licks blood at the edge of his knife, and his creed in life is not to lose money.Although Fang Tianzhi's words are not true or not, what if they are true?If you fight against him, wouldn't you lose your underwear in this business?

In this moment of thought, Fang Tianzhi continued: "The benefactor's knife can split gold and stone, so beheading a person's head must be enough. There are three guests on this boat. How about you beheading the poor monk three times? Just sit here and don't fight back. If the poor monk is lucky enough to survive, then the life money of the three of us will be written off, what does Benefactor Chen think?"

Fang Tianzhi didn't look at the old woman in the corner.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the old woman raised her eyebrows and looked at him secretly.

Captain Chen didn't speak for a while.

After a long time, his eyes flickered and he said: "Master is not afraid of the anesthetic on this broken ship. I must have extremely high internal strength. Now that I put down such bold words, I guess I should be a master of hard work." , "In this way, even if I use a knife to chop, I can't think of it, the master can't do it, so why bother?"

Fang Tianzhi saw him twisting and turning, so he asked, "I don't know what advice Chen Benefactor has?"

Captain Chen sighed: "I have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and I have always valued harmony and prosperity, and I have never had any grudges with others! Today, if I slipped my eyes and offended the master, then I don't have to do this business. It's just... I have practiced swords for many years, and I have gained Wen Master is also good at swordsmanship, so I can't help feeling itchy, I want to increase my knowledge."

Fang Tianzhi gently placed the bowl in his hand on the deck, "The benefactor intends to learn sword skills with the poor monk?"

Captain Chen shook his head and said: "How can this be so, isn't this hurting the peace?"

He pretended to be thinking, then suddenly shifted his eyes to the broken gold pieces in front of the table, smiled slightly with his hands clasped, and said, "Yes! To be honest, my knife is not fast, but it is barely enough to cut a piece of gold into nine pieces." It can still be done. Why don't you and I have a competition, if the master can cut the gold into ten pieces with one knife, then I will be willing to bow down, no matter what, I will obey the master's arrangements for everything on board!"

Fang Tianzhi knew the elegant meaning after hearing the string song, and asked along the way: "What if the poor monk can't?"

Captain Chen's expression became more mellow and amiable, and he said generously: "That's okay! I don't want to do this business as usual, so I should make friends with the master." He bowed his hands to Fang Tianzhi Xuxu again, " It’s just that one day, if I ask Grandmaster for a little favor, Grandmaster don’t pretend not to know me, that’s all.”

Fang Tianzhi looked at him for a while, then smiled and said: "If Benefactor Chen has been making money in such a friendly manner, he must have already made a lot of money."

Captain Chen said: "Where is it? It's just to make ends meet." As he spoke, he picked up the long knife on the table, put his hands up, and said politely, "Master, please?"

Fang Tian didn't have time to receive the knife.

Because suddenly there was a dry and hoarse voice from the corner: "Do you really want to see how fast other people's knives are?"

This was said to Captain Chen.

Captain Chen was stunned for a moment, and looked sideways, only to see that the crooked old woman stood up at some point.

She stood tremblingly, as if toppled by the turbulence of the waves, the small black cloth bag was still slung in her right hand like a chicken paw, she was no different from the most ordinary little old lady in the market and fields, but Chen The captain looked down, only to see that her two blue shoes were stepping on the pockmarked black blood as if nothing had happened——

It seemed that the person who screamed in terror just now was not her at all.

Captain Chen couldn't help but took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat again.

He almost began to suspect that he had really committed a Tai Sui, why did he net a few miscellaneous fish, and unexpectedly caught so many worry-free things?

The old woman squinted her yellow eyes again and asked: "My old woman's knife is not too slow. What is the status of this master, why should I bother him with trivial matters? Boy, if I beat you, what do you think I should do?" Woolen cloth?"

Chen Chuanzhu laughed and said, "What do you want to do, old man?"

The old woman sneered and said slowly, "The old woman wins, so the boy has to be obedient."

Captain Chen felt guilty, nodded and said, "It's easy to say, easy to say."

The old woman stopped making a sound, but staggered two steps forward, lightly took the knife from Captain Chen's hand, and slashed at the gold on the table.

Dusk will go.

But amidst the golden light on the boat, there was no more ray of saber light.

The old woman's knife has been chopped out.But almost no one could see exactly how she slashed the knife. It seemed that what she slashed was no longer a knife, but a faint shadow rolling in the sea of ​​golden light!

The old woman casually put the knife aside.

Captain Chen didn't speak, didn't move, just stared at the gold on the table - the gold was placed there so vividly, it didn't change at all.

The old woman said: "Why don't you go over and take a closer look?"

Captain Chen was very obedient, walked over obediently, and bent over to take a closer look.

As soon as he got closer, he could see everything clearly——

Among the pieces of gold scattered on the table, there was a piece of gold engraved with two characters stroke by stroke.

Those two small characters are thin and hard, coiled in the brilliant golden light, just like the withered right hand of the old woman's chicken feet!

Captain Chen lowered his head and turned his back to Fang Tianzhi. Fang Tianzhi couldn't see his face, but only saw him standing bent over the table, like a wooden sculpture made of stone.

The old woman said: "Have you seen clearly?"

Captain Chen said: "I see clearly."

The old woman said: "What's the word on it?"

Captain Chen said: "Qing'an."

The old woman said: "Do you understand what these two words mean?"

Captain Chen said respectfully, "Madam, please clarify."

The old woman sighed, "That's a place. It's the old woman's home."

Captain Chen said: "After you say that, I have an impression. I wonder if it is Qingtai Town in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"

The old woman said: "Not bad."

Captain Chen understood what he meant, and asked tentatively, "Madam wants to go home?"

The old woman mourned: "Who doesn't want to go home? But I have an important matter to do, if I can't do it, I will have no face to go home and see Miss."

Captain Chen's face also turned sad for a moment, as if he was more sad than the old woman. He put the handkerchief back into his sleeve pocket, and asked eagerly and sympathetically, "Is there anything I can do to help Madam?"

The old woman said: "You can't. But on this boat, there is one person who can."

The next moment, Fang Tianzhi saw the old woman looking straight at him.

Captain Chen also reacted, and said, "Could Madam want to ask Master for help?"

The old woman was silent for a moment, and said, "Do you know who he is?"

Captain Chen murmured: "This... this... I am humble..."

With a hoarse voice, the old woman said slowly: "He is the master of Dongxin Temple in Tiansheng Mountain, and his dharma name is astonishing as the snow."

Captain Chen lowered his eyes, rolled his throat slightly, and still said softly: "This... this... I am ignorant..."

The old woman's pitch-black eyes were fixed on Fang Tianzhi, and she continued, "Besides this, he has another identity."

Captain Chen didn't dare to ask any more questions.

He was very clever, knowing what to know and what not to know.I know better when to speak and when to shut up, as if I never had a tongue.

Fang Tianzhi also stared at the old woman, and said for a while: "The poor monk has been a monk since he was a child, and he only has the status of a monk. If the old benefactor wants to do other important things, he may have found the wrong person."

The old woman didn't say a word, and suddenly knelt down in front of him.

Fang Tianzhi was surprised, but saw her kowtowed on the ground, and said in a sad voice: "Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda! I beg Master to show mercy and save my young lady's life!"
