Chapter 99 Burning the Drum Brake, the Monk Kills

On the trail on General Mountain, scenes of singing and crying are repeated.

After more than a dozen volunteers gave up their lives, Wang Yan and his party finally walked the rugged path on the back mountain and climbed to the top of the general's mountain, but at this time, the team of nearly 20 people was only Wang Yan, Liu Shun, Hou Fangyu and the abbot master.

Everyone looked down from the top of the mountain, and they could no longer see the figure of the pursuers, and the Tongshan Temple, located in the valley, completely turned into a sea of fire.

Gale fuels the fire, the wind flies and the fire dances, the thousand-year-old temple is destroyed in a flash, the rising flames have spread to the mountain when it has been opened, and the ancient temples left by the ancestors of these generations will be burned into red white with the green mountains on both sides.

"The front mountain is not better than the back mountain, the mountain is gentle, the people try to climb to the top to view the scenery, there are many trails, you can go up and down the mountain." The abbot master said Wang Yandao: "The poor monk will be sent here, and the Hou Ye can go down the mountain quickly!" ”

"Now that the pursuers are behind, and the temple has been burned down, won't the master be in danger if he stays here?" When Wang Yan heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Because Yan alone, he has lost dozens of celebrities, and he has also taken the entire Tongshan Temple. ”

"Life is accidental, death is inevitable!" The master looked at the flames rising under the mountain, but said calmly: "Tongshan Temple has been inherited for hundreds of years, when there is a catastrophe, this is my destiny!" ”

When Wang Yan heard this, he wanted to say, but the master sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and recited the mantra of rebirth: "Nan Wu Amitaba night, Dotagada night, Dodi night he~~"

When everyone saw this, they knew that the master had made up his mind, and it was useless to say more, but instead wasted the time that the righteous men had exchanged for their lives, and hurried down the mountain with grief.

Soon after Wang Yan left, the Qing army finally reached the top of the mountain, but when they set out, there were only more than 70 of the 100 people left, and they were all holding back their anger.

At this time, the Qing army saw that Wang Yan was no longer visible on the top of the mountain, and only an old monk was left sitting on the ground, closing his eyes and sending the scriptures, and immediately reprimanded angrily: "Bald donkey! From which way did Wang Yan escape? ”

Naturally, the master didn't answer, but still closed his eyes and chanted, ignoring him at all.

When the Qing army saw this, they were furious, and they wanted to beat the master, but at this moment, the master suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: "Thirty years of chanting Buddha, today cut off mercy, punish evil and kill one person, there should be ten living people, punish this and forget the ancestors, and the monk should kill people." ”

Before the Qing soldiers could react, the master suddenly slapped the ground with both palms, and the whole person suddenly jumped up, punched out his fists and feet, and hit a strong wind, knocking down several people in an instant.

The Qing soldiers were beaten by this sudden change, and the master snatched a war knife, slashing the Qing soldiers in a panic, and killed several people in a row.

Between the master's left and right rushes, since they are old and have no generals, the Qing soldiers were shocked by the master's martial arts and did not dare to move forward, but the retreat of the Qing soldiers also made the chaotic formation reorganized, and they formed a big circle to surround the master.

At this time, the gap between personal martial arts and the cooperation of the battle array was revealed, and the master was suddenly not as good as a fish in water just now, but was suppressed everywhere, and he was already scarred after a while.

The master was old, and gradually did not know his physical strength, and he would inevitably be captured by the Qing army if he was entangled, so he suddenly exerted his strength, rushed outward, killed to the edge of the mountain, jumped down the mountain, and died by hitting the stone.

When Wang Yan and the others were still running on the trail down the mountain, Tian Xiong had already rushed to the Turai mansion and informed him of Wang Yanmi's visit to Nanjing.

When Turai heard this, he couldn't help but be furious, and angrily reprimanded Tian Xiong for why he didn't report it early, and claimed that if Wang Yan was gone, he would definitely be taken down and convicted.

Tian Xiong failed to capture Wang Yan, thinking that reporting the news of Wang Yan's arrival in Nanjing to Tulai would be a great achievement, but he did not expect that not only did he not get a reward, but he was reprimanded, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart.

For Wang Yan, Tulai, who followed Duoduo south, naturally knew its importance, and capturing it was a great feat, so he ignored Tian Xiong and hurriedly mobilized Manchurian cavalry to go to various land and water routes to search for Wang Yan.

For a time, the Qing army in Nanjing almost poured out, which made the people amazed, and they thought that something big had happened, and at this time, a sea capture order with the image of Wang Yan was pasted all over Nanjing, as well as the places controlled by the Qing soldiers in Nanzhili.

When Wang Yan and the three of them got down the mountain, they walked south, intending to return to the area controlled by the Ming Dynasty, but they were on foot, and the Qing soldiers pursued quickly, and the speed was naturally not comparable to that of the Qing soldiers.

The three of them walked several roads in a row, but they all found that there were Qing soldiers who set up checks, and there were cavalry patrols on the road from time to time, and they couldn't pass through at all, and they couldn't help but be anxious.

Hou Fangyu is now entangled with Wang Yan, and the Qing soldiers must regard him as Wang Yan's accomplice, so he can only follow Wang Yan to flee south, at this time he saw that the roads to the south were blocked, and they stayed outside for a long time, so it was naturally easy to be discovered by the Qing soldiers, so Wang Yan said: "Hou Ye heard that it was dark under the lamp?" ”

"Hou Gongzi wants us to return to Nanjing for refuge?" Wang Yan said.

"Yes!" Hou Fangyu said what he thought: "The Qing soldiers thought that Hou Ye had fled south, and they would inevitably have heavy troops stationed everywhere outside the city to capture Hou Ye, and the Qing soldiers in Nanjing would be reduced as a result, and the Qing soldiers would not think that Hou Ye would return to Nanjing, so Hou Ye could enter Nanjing to hide, and then go south when the limelight passed." ”

"The most dangerous place is the safest place." Wang Yan nodded and said, "But also!" ”

At that moment, the three of them returned to Nanjing, but they didn't have to worry about road citation documents and the like, Wang Yan had already prepared when he went north, so the three of them disguised themselves and entered Nanjing City.

The Qing army occupied Nanjing, which made the prosperous city become depressed, but Nanjing is a big city after all, with a large population, and daily consumption is obtained from outside the city, so there are still a lot of grocery buyers at the city gate, in and out.

At this time, a group of people were watching around a poster, among them were scholars and literati, and more were ordinary people, Wang Yan and the three of them also stopped slightly, but they heard someone in the crowd read: "Sea Fishing Order, Wise and Loyal Marquis Wang Yan, Good at Entering Jiangning, with bad intentions, absconding outside, whoever gets his traces and reports will be rewarded, and those who hide or know and do not report will be all sitting." ”

After listening to this, the crowd had different expressions, and Wang Yan and the three of them left the city gate quickly.

Hou Fangyu had a lot of old knowledge in Nanjing City, but he didn't know who was reliable, and he still needed to test it, so the three of them decided to find a place to rest first.

The three of them were walking in the streets, but suddenly there was a commotion, but it was a group of cavalry, galloping through the streets, causing the people to panic and dodge.

The cavalry didn't care about the lives of the people at all, so that the chickens and dogs jumped on the street, and Wang Yan and the three of them immediately hid aside, but at this moment, Wang Yan saw a little boy standing on the street crying, and he didn't know how to dodge at all.

Seeing that the cavalry was coming, the child would be trampled to death by the war horse, but Wang Yan suddenly moved, and at the moment when the war horse collided, he hugged the child to the side of the street.

Almost at the same time, the war horse neighed, the front hooves hung in the air, and stopped suddenly, and the person on the horse, looking back at Wang Yan, couldn't help but scold: "Where did the fool come from, he actually shocked my war horse and wanted to die?" ”

Wang Yan looked angrily when he heard this, and saw that the person riding the horse was Zhu Guobi, who had a festival, and he couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly put down the little boy and retreated from the crowd with Liu Shun and Hou Fangyu.

Zhu Guobi was annoyed when he saw this, but in his memory, he felt that the person just now was very familiar, which made him dislike, so he couldn't help but beat the horse and disperse the crowd and chased in the direction where Wang Yan retreated.

Wang Yan and the three of them walked through the streets and alleys, intending to avoid Zhu Guobi, but they could not get rid of it, and when they were anxious, a figure suddenly flashed out of an alley, saying that the three of them said: "You can come with me!" ”

For a while, Wang Yan had no other way, although he was suspicious in his heart, but seeing that Zhu Guobi was about to chase him, he had to listen to the words of the figure, followed him in the alley, and finally flashed into a courtyard, and there were dozens of men in cloth clothes in the courtyard.

Wang Yanguan looked at the figures of these men, and knew that they must be people who had been in the army for a long time, and he was suddenly shocked and wanted to turn around and leave, but all the people in the courtyard, together with the leading man, suddenly saluted on one knee, and said with sadness in his mouth: "The prince of the hundred households of the Jinyi Guard, the prince of the dragon, see the Hou Ye!" ”
