Tan Yuan's carriage drove away on the street, and his brother-in-law looked out the window with his fingers resting on his chin. This was his usual movement, when he was thinking about something.

The sky was as blue as washing, and the bamboo curtain was half-fallen, covering a large area of ​​skylight. When I lowered my gaze, I saw a person hurried past the bustling crowd and turned to an inconspicuous alley.He was holding a sword in his hand, and the people around him retreated when they saw it, it was indeed the physique of a plague god.

I was about to remind my brother-in-law, but I found that he had already reached the window, and the next moment he came out through the window, I quickly stood up and followed.

Ling Yu waved his hands behind us: "You guys wait for me."

I threw him a sentence: "You stay and pay for the tea."

After several ups and downs, I finally caught up with my brother-in-law, probably because he slowed down.He stopped at the end of the long alley, and I walked over, bent down to pant, and said, "Can you tell me before you move next time?"

During these days with him, my lightness skill has improved a lot.

He looks forward.

Liuquan, the number one swordsman under Emperor Liao, entered a small yellow lacquered door.

There was the sound of a bell ringing from the door. This is... a temple?The sound of the bell is distant, ringing in the busy city, a bit discordant, but the Buddhist theory is complex, who knows what mysterious theory the monks will come up with to explain this phenomenon.

We also opened the small door to go in, but there was no monk guarding the door with wooden sticks.There was no one in this courtyard, and moss grew in the cracks between the bricks on the ground, which was damp and messy.The six springs were gone, so we pushed aside the wooden doors on the wall and went out.

The line of sight suddenly widened. There were monks cleaning in the Zen courtyard. When they saw us, they clasped their palms together: "Why did the two benefactors come here? The incense is in the Daxiong Hall in the front yard."

The brother-in-law said: "We got separated from a friend. He is wearing a bamboo hat and holding a sword in his hand. Have you seen it?"

The monk shook his head and said, "This is the backyard, and there are no pilgrims coming and going. As I said, the offering of incense is in the front yard."

I wanted to argue with him, but my brother-in-law stopped me and dragged me to the front yard.In the front yard separated by a wall, there are pilgrims passing by, and it is very lively. There are peddlers passing through the crowd selling gadgets, half-blind fortune tellers sitting in the shade of trees and making divinations, and unsatisfied scholars selling calligraphy and paintings.I don't understand what Liuquan is doing in this kind of place. Is it because he has done too many bad things and found out his conscience and came to the bustling place of Buddhism to reform?

This possibility was immediately rejected by me.

Just as I was thinking about it, I was suddenly pushed by someone, and I fell forward, falling into the arms of my brother-in-law.I looked back and saw a chubby woman pushing forward, and beside her was a girl in a yellow shirt: "Mom, you seem to have squeezed someone just now!"

"Daughter, go further, stand in a good position, let the Bodhisattva see clearly, and sincerely ask the Bodhisattva for a marriage. You are eighteen, why don't you worry about it?"

I looked at the big Buddha in the hall, his eyes were slightly squinted, as if he was enjoying the offerings in front of him very much, but there were so many pilgrims under his seat, I wonder if he could remember everyone's wishes.A pair of eyes peeped out from behind the wooden lacquered gold of the Buddha, looked towards us, but met my gaze, and quickly retreated.

I raised my chin, my brother-in-law understood, and walked behind the Buddha statue with me.

Behind the Buddha statue is the gate leading to the Buddhist monastery. When we step out, there is a smooth path ahead, with green poplars planted on both sides, and there are no traces of people.The brother-in-law took a few steps forward, turned sideways suddenly, and grabbed a young monk from behind the big tree they hugged.The little monk was thrown on the ground, rolled over, and yelled: "Benefactor, you have something to say, why are you being violent?"

Brother-in-law said, "Where is he?"

He blinked, looking much smarter than the monk sweeping the backyard, and said, "How would I know... ouch, it hurts!"

The brother-in-law said: "If you don't tell me, you won't want this arm."

His eyes were full of water from the pain: "I..."

The brother-in-law tried harder, and he yelled, "I said I would be beaten to death by Master."

I reminded him that if he didn't say anything, he would be beaten to death now, sooner or later, just in his mind.

With a sad face on his face, he finally sighed: "Okay, I'll take you there."

Go to the end of this road, bypassing three old poplar trees, there is a secluded Zen courtyard, the young monk said: "That's it."

The brother-in-law kicked open the door, and two sharp swords stabbed straight at him.

He pulled me over and blocked it with his hands.The two swords were shaken by the force of the palm, and retreated to the left and right, surrounding us in the middle.

Liuquan on the left turned his wrist, flattened the edge of the sword, and said, "I never thought you would dare to chase after me."

The brother-in-law said flatly: "I didn't expect you to dare to go south."

To our right is the gray-clothed swordsman.He was wearing a cloak, his face was covered under the hat, and there was a deep scar on his cheek. He looked at his brother-in-law resentfully, and the sword in his hand was like a snake, ready to strike.

The color of his pupils became lighter little by little, as did Liuquan opposite him.The brother-in-law said that it was because of the special swordsmanship they practiced. They mobilized all their strength to focus on the sword, so that the power of the attack was far greater than that of ordinary swordsmanship.

One of these two people is already very difficult to deal with, and now the two of them join forces, and I stand beside my brother-in-law, and I have already taken out the silver whip.

At the same time as I shot, the gray-clothed swordsman greeted me with a sword.His shot was light, but the force it landed on me was heavy. I mostly retreated, trying to knock down his sword with a whip. I entangled him, so my brother-in-law could concentrate on dealing with Liuquan.

Liuquan's swordsmanship was like flying flowers sweeping leaves, fast and accurate, he struck out three moves in a row, he retracted his sword and returned his hand, and said loudly: "The emperor's kindness to you is as great as a mountain, but you betrayed Daliao, you deserve to be punished."

Brother-in-law said: "It's not your turn to talk about the matter between me and the emperor."

The gray-clothed swordsman rushed to attack his brother-in-law, who sideways dodged the sword, he said: "Senior brother, why bother, today we brothers will kill this traitor with our hands, and do our best for the Lord."

The brother-in-law stood in the middle, without any fear on his face, instead he smiled and said, "Just because of you, you also want to kill me?"

The gray-clothed swordsman attacked with his sword, and Liu Quan followed suit.Their sword moves are changeable, and their left and right complement each other, but they can never get close to their brother-in-law.

A greasy big monk was leaning against the corner of the wall, fleeing towards the door.As soon as we entered the door, we were only focused on dealing with those two people, and didn't notice his existence.Seeing that he was about to run away, I rolled up the wooden barrel at my feet with a whip and pulled it towards him. The wooden barrel hit the wall in front of him, and it was torn apart. He stayed there and dared not go any further.

The brother-in-law shattered the gray-clothed swordsman's sword with one palm, and he was also beaten back a step. His eyes were wrong and he looked at me. I froze and grabbed the whip, but he had already rushed over and pressed me against his chest. , strangled my neck tightly with his right hand, smiled to my brother-in-law: "Xiao Feng, if you arrest me if you don't let go, your sweetheart will go to see the King of Hades."

The brother-in-law looked at him: "If you dare to touch her, I will let you die without a place to bury you."

When he said this, there was a frightening look in his eyes, and the gray-clothed swordsman's Adam's apple twitched, and he said, "Even if I die, I will be satisfied with such a beautiful girl by my side."

Liuquan raised his sword and stabbed at him, but my brother-in-law didn't dodge, but grabbed him directly at his chest. The technique was very common, but Liuquan couldn't dodge it. He grabbed him and threw him towards the gray-clothed swordsman, who turned to hide. He attacked at this moment, and the gray-clothed swordsman pushed me out. When he caught me, he drew a dagger from his cuff and stabbed his arm.The brother-in-law frowned, and hit him on the shoulder with a palm, and he fell to the ground. When the brother-in-law wanted to strike again, Liuquan blocked him with a sword across, pulled up the gray-clothed swordsman, and flew out of the courtyard wall.

The brother-in-law stopped and looked at the big monk who was huddled in the corner of the courtyard. The monk gave a dry laugh, shook his hand and said, "Hero Mingjian, I didn't do anything!"

The brother-in-law walked over, grabbed him up, strangled him, and said, "What's your relationship with them?"

His face was flushed and he hesitated and couldn't speak. I stopped my brother-in-law and said, "Let him answer our question first."

The brother-in-law pushed him out, and he fell against the wall, panting heavily, and begged for mercy: "Heroes and chivalrous women, please let me go, I won't, I won't dare next time."

I said, "If we want to spare you, it depends on whether you behave or not."

He kept making bows and said, "I'm sure to be obedient, obedient."

The brother-in-law said, "What did those two people ask you for?"

He looked at his brother-in-law, then at me, and said suspiciously: "The two heroes, aren't they from the government?"

The brother-in-law showed an impatient look.

He immediately said honestly: "I said, I said... They have a batch of money, and they want to lend my hand to send it to Nanjing. You know that the situation is tense recently, and the trade routes of Song and Liao are almost cut off. No one dares to go to Nanjing. .”

I said: "You lie to us, you are a monk, not an escort agency."

He said: "Almsgiver, the villain is not lying. This yard is a place to distribute money. There are many people whose money comes from wrong sources or goes to unknown routes. They cannot be transported in the open, so I borrow my place to collect and distribute their money. I am hiding here, and it is difficult for the government to find out. Those two people only came to ask me to transport money, and I earned a commission from it, other than that, it has nothing to do with them."

The brother-in-law said: "You are a monk, it is disgusting to do this kind of shitty thing."

The great monk sighed: "Almighty master, you don't know the price of oil, salt, firewood and rice if you are not in charge of the family. Our Biyun Temple has a small door, and it is not as big as Shaolin Lingyin's family. There is a temple to support people, and they always need to find income. I will take care of it." Finances, we must not let the monks in the monastery be disheveled and disheveled, the Buddha is to blame."

The brother-in-law looked at him annoyedly, and said, "Who is the person behind you?"

The great monk recovered from the state of snot and tears, and said: "The people behind me, I don't have people behind me, don't talk nonsense, benefactor."

The brother-in-law said: "This kind of long-term work earns hard money and has high risks. You monks alone can't do it. You are just someone else's facade."

The great monk's face darkened.

At this moment, someone said: "Uncle Xiao also wants to interfere with this little Biyun Temple?"

I looked up and saw Shen Jue in black long clothes standing on the room holding a knife.He came so close that we didn't realize it.He looked at us and said coldly: "Everything can be done in one way or another. If there is another time, we can only fight each other. This is what my master told Uncle Xiao."

The brother-in-law said to him: "I also have something to tell Ms. Ye, everyone should be responsible for what they do."
