[Comprehensive martial arts] Holy Monk

Haihou City was not originally called Haihou City.

It got this title because of the Lin family who almost ruled the city.

There are not many martial arts families in southern Fujian, but they are not too few.The Lin family in Putian and the Zhang family in Cangshan are all firmly established in the Jianghu, but they are not as rich and powerful as the Lin family.

Because none of them has a very lucky and courageous leader.

When the Lin family was handed down to the third generation patriarch, Lin Heyi, they were just upstarts in the martial arts for a while, no matter their background or fame, they were not qualified to join the aristocratic family.But Lin Heyi is different from ordinary martial arts people. He is not only passionate about martial arts, but also obsessed with making money.Nearly 30 years ago, he personally led the fleet to go to sea for a fight. Although three large ships were lost, he still escaped with the remaining three ships from the treacherous and ruthless sea.

And these three big boats are all loaded with countless gold, silver, pearls and jade.

Lin Heyi lost an eye and a little finger, but he brought back enough capital to bring the Lin family to glory.

Using the gold and silver from these three boats, Lin Heyi managed to deal with them both up and down, and within five years, any small sampan in the sea outside the city could not be said to have nothing to do with the Lin family.Later, Lin Heyi didn't know what route he had taken, and he went to the heaven to listen, and was granted the title of Marquis of Wanghai by the palace decree. As a result, the Lin family's name shook the world.

After the night fire broke out in Qianxing Mountain Villa, and one hundred and five members of the family were buried in the sea of ​​flames, no matter the poor, the poor, the rich or the noble, no one in the city called Lin Heyi by his first name, and only called him Haihou.

The original name of this city was also forgotten, and it became Haihou City today.

Although Lin Heyi's title is not world lord, and cannot be hereditary for life, the Lin family has already established deep roots in Haihou City. Therefore, even though Lin Heyi passed away more than ten years ago, and his only son Lin Wangsun became white again, everyone He is also used to calling him Lin Haihou.

After all, in Haihou City, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, whoever is the head of the Lin family is Wanghaihou.

After Fang Tianzhi entered Haihou City, his mind inevitably became heavier.

Because it is too busy and crowded here.Characters of various teachings and nine streams gathered keenly from all over the world, and then went their separate ways with what they were satisfied with. There must be too much news here, but most of them are useless.

I'm not familiar with the place, so where do I start looking for someone in such a crowded place?

While thinking, he walked into a low-end tea shop, bought a bowl of bitter tea with only two copper coins, and then took out dry biscuits and ate them.

The tea shop was full of voices, the yelling of the shop assistants, the clinking of bowls, and the rude laughter and cursing seemed to be mixed into a paste, pouring hard into his brain through his ears, and there were still Mixed with a trace of stubborn playing and singing.

The sound of the piano was faint, as thin as moaning. Fang Tianzhi couldn't help but look back because of his headache. An old man was pulling his thick-handed and big-footed girl in red clothes to sing.

The woman in the red dress is no longer young or beautiful, but she is still plump enough, and her voice is still pretty good, so people are still willing to pay to hear her sing.She herself seemed to know this very well, because she only patted away the unexcessively salty pig's hands, flirting with the audience with a smile.

Fang Tianzhi looked at the woman, and suddenly thought, what kind of person would come to arrest Master Liu Miao?

When he saw Liu Miao in Dongxin Temple, Liu Miao was seriously injured, drenched in blood, but he was in a daze, as if he didn't feel pain. At that time, he thought Liu Miao must be from the martial arts world.But after getting along for a few days, Liu Miao's footsteps were heavy and weak, and his hands and feet were weak. He was clearly a person who did not understand martial arts.In the ten years that followed, although Liu Miao became much stronger due to his hard work, he was insane, and never practiced martial arts for a day——

Fang Tianzhi assumed in his mind that if Uncle Liu Miao knew martial arts, but he just couldn't remember it after being in a daze, then at a critical moment, if someone came to attack him, he would definitely be able to use a few moves even out of physical instinct. He would always try to escape, or break a window or a door, and Fang Tianzhi would always see the clues in the yard after the incident.

It's not like what he saw - the yard is clean, and the doors and windows are intact.

This may mean that Uncle Liu Miao lost his martial arts for some reason in his early years, and the people who fought with him in Dongxin Temple a few days ago couldn't restrain him immediately, so he had the opportunity to spend a little time in the meditation room. to resist.

Then no matter who instigates this person or several people, their kung fu must not be very good.

Master Uncle Liu Miao's life experience will never be simple.

Those who captured him could find out that he was hiding in a small remote monastery to become a monk, and found out the truth about his loss of martial arts, so his power must be very important.But this person didn't send out capable men, but ordered a few people with poor martial arts to arrest Master Liu Miao. He may have a secret that even his cronies don't want to tell——

At least, he didn't want anyone to know that the wild monk in this ruined temple was very important!

When Fang Tianzhi thought of this, he suddenly found a glimmer of light, but felt more and more heavy.

The heaviness is that since this person wants to act in secret, when those minions bring back Master Liu Miao and the contents of the box, he will definitely silence them all.

And the ray of light is that since he doesn't want anyone to know the importance of Master Liu Miao, then those who follow orders must not know what this matter is about!Even though they may be dead or missing now, they were very likely to have leaked this "not very important" matter in their hearts to others before.

So when is this kind of lad with a sloppy martial arts most likely to talk nonsense?

Must be in taverns, casinos, and women's beds!

The eyes of the woman in red have lingered on Fang Tianzhi for a long time.

A woman like her who lingers in teahouses and restaurants and supports herself by singing songs and rewards from guests is always very sensitive to her gaze.

She had already seen the dry biscuits and bitter tea on Fang Tianzhi's table, and knew that this monk was a complete poor man.

It's just that she has seen a lot of smelly monks who stare at women, but it is rare to see him as bright and aboveboard--the one with a face like a crown jade and clear eyes like him is even more unique!

He was only wearing an old whitish blue monk's robe, but as long as he sat there and smiled slightly, he seemed to be out of tune with everything around him, as if even the table in front of him and the teacup in his hand seemed to have become spotless. Dyed in general.

Not to mention the monk, he was simply the most handsome and charming man she had ever seen in her life.

She was lucky today, she had already sold several songs, and when she looked back and saw the smiling monk still looking at herself, she couldn't help but secretly thought that after singing this song, maybe she could sing to him without charging money. listen to music?

But she was hesitating, when she glanced out of the corner of her eye, the monk in Tsing Yi seemed to ask the shop assistant a few questions, then took up the burden and strode out of the shop——

In an instant, she forgot what she was singing, and just stared blankly at his leaving back.

But the monk in Tsing Yi disappeared behind the banner at the entrance of the shop without looking back.

The sky is blue.

There are white snow, dried lotus, painted boats, small pavilions and crooked bridges on the lake.

Fang Tianzhi was walking on the bridge, feeling worried.

When he asked the shop clerk about the famous casino brothel in this city, he really couldn't forget the look in the shop clerk's eyes, especially when he added that it was cheaper——

So he is a monk, should he go to the tavern first, or the casino, or the brothel? !

Just thinking of this, a gust of cold wind blew across his cheeks.

And the wind brought not only the breath of lake water and white snow, but also a woman's exclamation!

Fang Tianzhi followed the prestige in an instant, but saw a woman in white leaning on the railing on the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, pushing away the man in blue with both hands.His heart to do good was ready to move in an instant, he only looked at the remnant lotus and floating snow in the lake, and then he flew to the bridge and used the light work of crossing the river with a reed, and swept towards the small pavilion in the middle of the lake almost without getting wet.

At this time, the afternoon sun was shining brightly, and there were so many people on the bridge, pedestrians might not notice what happened on the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, but there was a monk who suddenly jumped off the bridge to run across the lake, and they couldn't see it.Interested people swarmed to the railing of the bridge, but Fang Tianzhi moved extremely fast, like a blue bird sweeping over the lake on Yingfeng Lake, heading straight for the small pavilion.

But all the people in the pavilion suddenly heard the faint exclamation from the bridge, and couldn't help but look back together.

Fang Tianzhi stepped lightly on a remnant lotus, and floated into the pavilion from outside the railing.

The woman in white stared blankly at his face, while the man in the blue shirt at the head stared blankly at the straw sandals on his feet.

Straw shoes are nothing to look at, even the blue shirt man's own pair of soap boots are enough to replace hundreds of pairs of stinky shoes on the feet of monks.But this pair of straw shoes is different——

Because the monk stepped on the water, but the straw shoes under his feet stepped on the dry green bricks of the small pavilion, but there was hardly a trace of water.

The man in the blue shirt had never seen such lightness.

He hadn't even heard of it.

And Fang Tianzhi unhurriedly bowed to the woman in white: "The poor monk heard Tan Yue's exclamation on the bridge, so he came here boldly, I wonder if I can help a little?"

After a salute, he raised his eyelids and gave her a gentle look.

The woman in white was born extremely beautiful.

She is all white.White satin shoes, white fairy skirt, white fox fur, and the shiny white pearls on the earrings.This whiteness, which was almost the same color as snow, made her temples darker, her brows and eyes more lively, and her lips more rosy.She is simply too beautiful and pure, almost like a goddess who has never stepped into the mortal world.

At this moment when she heard Fang Tianzhi speak, she suddenly realized that she had been staring at others for too long, she couldn't help but lower her head, her girlish face was stained with a blush, and said softly: "I..."

Before she could say this hesitant word, the man in the blue shirt beside her said coldly, "Dare to ask the monk's name?"

Although his tone was cold, there was an unusual solemnity.

But Fang Tianzhi only said: "The poor monk's name is Xue Jing."

The man in the blue shirt was slightly astonished, and asked again: "But a Shaolin monk?"

Fang Tianzhi said: "No."

The man in the blue shirt looked at him suspiciously. Seeing that his face was open and not fake, he couldn't help laughing angrily: "Then I have eight words for you. Where did you come from? Where are you going?"

Fang Tianzhi glanced at the eight men in blue shirts who were facing a formidable enemy in the pavilion, and saw that the person who was talking to him in front of him was their leader, but he couldn't help laughing: "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. Unless you come again Eight hundred people like you lying on the ground layer by layer may be able to squeeze the poor monk out of the pavilion cover."

The man in the blue shirt didn't get angry, but said calmly: "If you don't get out today, you won't be able to leave Haihou City alive tomorrow." He looked at Fang Tianzhi with pity, "Don't rely on a little kung fu, Just learn from the hero in the drama to save the beauty, otherwise you may not even know how you died."

Fang Tianzhi sighed, and said: "If the poor monk just gets lost like this, what difference is there between being alive and dead?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the eight men in blue shirts instantly pulled out the long swords around their waists——

But the girl at the corner of the pavilion suddenly shouted: "Don't do it!"

Fang Tianzhi didn't know who she was calling.But the men in blue shirts around him all showed embarrassment, holding eight long swords in their hands, and they didn't move for a long time.

The girl said again: "Don't you listen to me?"

The blue-shirted man in the lead showed a stern look on his face, pushed the sword into the sheath, and said, "Yes!"

Fang Tianzhi looked at the farce, turned his head and asked the girl in white: "Aren't they going to force you to jump into the lake?"

The girl in white blushed with shame, and whispered: "No."

After half an hour.

Fang Tianzhi sat on the armchair, held the exquisite porcelain cup and said, "So they came to protect you?"

The girl in white was sitting coquettishly on the side seat. She took off her fox fur, and her figure was even more delicate, like a handful of fine snow.After hearing this, she nodded and said, "I've always been locked up at home. I haven't seen the scenery outside for a long time. Today I lost my temper and refused to leave. Brother Lin was helpless, so he wanted to take me away by force. I was in On the edge of the railing, afraid of falling into the water, and ashamed to fight with him, I was out of breath, so I exclaimed."

Fang Tianzhi said: "So that's the case, but their way of protecting people seems a bit too domineering."

The girl in white's face darkened when she heard this.

She looked up at the man in blue shirt standing outside the Dazzling Hall, and said softly, "It's not their fault. They have worked too hard to protect a useless person like me."

When Fang Tianzhi heard this, he finally couldn't help being a little curious: "Even if a girl like you needs to be protected, she will never be locked up at home, and she can't even watch the scenery for a while?"

The girl in white glanced at the man in blue shirt outside the flower hall again, then lowered her head and said, "Because someone wants to kill me!"

Fang Tianzhi paused slightly with the hand holding the cup: "Who wants to kill you?"

The white-clothed girl's face turned pale, and it took a while before she said in a trembling voice: "The people on the boat!"

People on board?

What is this answer?

Who on what ship made her so scared?

Fang Tianzhi took a sip of tea calmly and didn't ask any more questions.

After a short pause, he said, "These people don't look like servants in your family."

The girl in white calmed down a little, stared at him and said, "That's right...because I'm the only one alive in my family." When she said this, she smiled slightly sadly, "They were sent by Master Hou to protect me. "

Lord Hou?

Fang Tianzhi had an unexpected but reasonable understanding in his heart.The blue-shirted man at the head was obviously not good at martial arts, but he showed no fear when facing him, and said threatening words, so he must be the local snake here.

They are from the Lin family.

Lin Haihou's Lin.

But why did the Lin family protect an orphan girl like an enemy?

He is currently in a secluded house with flowers and trees, and the furnishings are all precious and extraordinary, it can be seen that this girl is living a very good life, and the Lin family treats her quite well.

Fang Tianzhi remained silent for a while, then smiled lightly and said, "It turned out to be a misunderstanding. The poor monk is meddling in his own business."

The girl in white heard this, but hurriedly said: "No! I... I am very grateful to you."

Seeing her bright eyes and sincere expression, Fang Tianzhi felt a little relieved in his heart, so he put down his teacup and said, "Tan Yue doesn't have to worry about it. The poor monk has something important to do and can't sit for a long time, so I'm leaving."

Seeing him standing up, the girl in white couldn't help standing up with him, and asked, "You... aren't you from Haihou City?"

Fang Tianzhi said: "Not bad."

She summoned up her courage again and said, "I will intercede with Brother Lin and the others to let you leave Haihou City."

Fang Tianzhi couldn't help but smiled, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry. Monks have their own ways."

The girl in white just thought he didn't know the severity, and asked with a slight frown, "What are you doing in Haihou City?"

Fang Tianzhi said: "Find someone."

The girl in white asked, "Who?"

Fang Tianzhi said: "A monk." He added, "A monk who was kidnapped."

The girl in white was stunned for a while, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "If you want to find someone in Haihou City, maybe there is someone who can help you."

Fang Tianzhi's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Who is it?"

Seeing that she was able to help him, the girl in white couldn't help being very happy, and said sweetly, "I heard about it from Lord Hou. He once said that if there are things he doesn't know about Haihou City, then the horse's face will surely Know."
