Fortunately, Yuan Zhi did not disappoint Wu Ruotang, and soon after he heard a soft knock on the door. Wu Ruotang, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, sighed and said, "Please come in!" ”

Yuan Zhi entered the door and was just about to speak, when he saw Wu Ruotang and said with a low smile: "Great monk, you are finally here...... No one is following you? ”

Yuan Zhi titheed and said: "At the request of Lord Wu, there is only one poor monk." Master Wu was summoned late at night, I don't know what was going on, to be so mysterious? ”

"Haha!" Wu Ruotang smiled and said, "Calling you here naturally has your benefits." Great monk, you close the door first, and we will sit down and talk in detail. ”

Yuan Zhi closed the door as he said and sat down in front of Wu Ruotang.

Wu Ruotang looked at Yuan Zhi, and suddenly said: "Great monk, I asked you to come here alone late at night, aren't you afraid that I will harm you?" ”

Yuan Zhi smiled and said, "Master Wu said that he laughed. Wu Shizhu's internal injuries have not healed, and it is believed that it is not enough to pose any threat to the poor monks. With the wisdom of Lord Wu, he would never do such things that were harmful to himself. ”

Wu Ruotang nodded and sighed: "Yes, don't say that I am seriously injured now, even if I am not the opponent of the great monk in my heyday on weekdays, how dare I act rashly?" He paused and continued, "It seems that the great monk is quite confident in his martial arts!" However, there are many things in this world that cannot be won by being strong in martial arts......"

Hearing what Wu Ruotang said, Yuan Zhi couldn't help but raise his vigilance and said, "Why did Master Wu say this? ”

Wu Ruotang smiled slightly and shook his head: "Don't be so nervous, I'm just reminding you." Great monk, although your martial arts are high, but your scheming is shallow, isn't it a tiger to talk about the conspiracy of these two old foxes with Liu Yuan and Wei Ting? ”

Yuan Zhi was curious: "The poor monk doesn't understand what the donor is talking about? ”

Wu Ruotang smiled: "Great monk, don't blame me for being troublesome. Excuse me, with your martial arts compared to Liu Yuan and Wei Tingtan, which is higher and which is lower? ”

Yuan Zhi thought for a while, and said honestly: "Compared to Mr. Liu, the poor monk is slightly better, and Sect Master Wei should be on par." ”

Wu Ruotang said again: "Then compared with them, the great monk asks himself which is higher or lower in terms of fighting thoughts and strategies?" ”

Yuan Zhi's heart moved, and said: "The poor monk has been a monk in Shaolin Temple since he was a child, and although he left the temple, he rarely walked on the rivers and lakes, I think it is much inferior to the two of them in this regard." Master Wu, you seem to mean something when you ask like this! ”

Wu Ruotang sneered: "It seems that the great monk is not stupid enough to be curable. Although I have not been in contact with the three of you for a long time, I also have a faint sense that Liu Yuan and Wei Tingtan do not completely treat you as their own. ”

Yuan Zhi frowned slightly, and said, "Where do you start with this?" ”

Wu Ruotang said: "Didn't you notice it yourself? Take the matter of you just talking to me about the deal, Liu Yuan and Wei Tingtan hid in a corner of the Buddha hall and discussed and didn't ask you to join together, even if you made any decisions, there was no prophet to hear you...... Great monk, do you think this is normal? ”

Yuan Zhi pretended to be deaf and dumb, and said: "The poor monk is not good at scheming, even if he joins them, he can't make any good suggestions......

Wu Ruotang smiled lightly and said: "Liu Yuan is scheming, and Wei Tingtan is even more ruthless, these two people are not good, you cooperate with them to find the "Deer Cutting Xuandian"...... Hehe, if you can't find the scriptures, it's fine, as long as you find the scriptures, you will definitely be plotted by them, and then you won't know how you died. ”

Yuan Zhi shook his head and said, "Master Wu, are you driving a wedge between the three of us?" If so, the poor monk will take his leave! As he spoke, he stood up and was about to leave.

Wu Ruotang didn't stop it, but said with a smile: "Do you still use me to divide the relationship between the three of you?" Great monk, ask yourself, if you didn't think there was an opportunity, would you have secretly come to this meditation room to see me at my request? I think in your heart you also know that Liu Yuan and Wei Ting can't talk about it, and I hope to come here tonight to try your luck and learn the whereabouts of the scriptures from my mouth? There is only one book, but there are three of you, and each of you wants to keep it to himself...... Hehe, you don't need to be provoked by others in this relationship, and in the end, you will fight to the death. ”

The dream of the three of them in the same bed was exposed by Wu Ruotang's words, and Yuan Zhi's old face couldn't help but turn red, so he simply tore off his face and sat down, sighing: "People don't hurt the tiger, but the tiger hurts people's hearts." As the donor said, Mr. Liu and Sect Master Wei are not good people, if I don't have more eyes, how can I keep myself alive? ”

Wu Ruotang sneered: "The real way to survive is to abandon the scriptures and stay away from right and wrong." Great monk, if you can't leave the "Deer Cutting Xuandian" behind, you will not be able to avoid conflicts with the two of them after all. ”

Yuan Zhi raised his eyebrows and said in a muffled voice: "Am I afraid of them?" They have a good plan, and I also have my ladder over the wall, but the time has not yet come, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer. ”

Wu Ruotang clapped his hands and praised: "Very good! That's what I want! Now that everyone has made it clear, I don't need to dodge anymore. In a word, how about we work together? ”

"Cooperation? How to cooperate? Yuan Zhi asked.

Wu Ruotang said: "I'm not uninterested in "Cutting the Deer Xuandian", but in comparison, my own life is the most important. I can't believe Liu Yuan and Wei Ting talking about these two people at all, and talking about a deal with them before was just perfunctory. I have only one hope, which is to live happily, not to die for a broken scripture book for no reason. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Zhi's breath couldn't help but become short: "What do you mean? ”

Wu Ruotang smiled slightly and said, "It's very simple, I'll tell you where the scriptures are hidden, and you let me and Xiaoyue go." ”

Yuan Zhi groaned slightly, and hesitated: "This ......"

Wu Ruotang smiled: "I also know that my dictation alone cannot convince you that the location of the book I said is true, but I can accompany you until you find the scriptures, and then you can let the two of us leave." The only premise must be to get rid of Liu Yuan and Wei Tingtang. ”

Yuan Zhi was puzzled: "Your method seems to be no different from what Mr. Liu and the others discussed, the only difference is that you are trading with me alone." It's good for me, but what's good for you? ”

Wu Ruotang said: "If I make a deal with the three of you, the strength of the two sides is very different, and it will be easy for you to kill me; But if you are only the great monk, although Xiaoyue and I are invincible, it is not as simple as you imagined if you want to kill people and destroy your mouth. I've been weighing it for a long time and think it's the safest way to go. What's more, compared to Liu and Wei, you, a monk who recites scriptures and praises the Buddha, are vegetarians, and killing people will not be as casual as commonplace......

Although Yuan Zhi felt that Wu Ruotang's explanation was not so reasonable, he couldn't find any flaws in it after thinking about it carefully, so he nodded and said, "I see." Master Wu assured that the poor monk was determined to write scriptures, and had no intention of killing people. ”

Wu Ruotang smiled and said, "To tell the truth, I'm not afraid of you killing people." Since you and I left Liu and Wei to find the scriptures, unless you have a book to kill the two of them in advance, the secrets of the scriptures in your hands will eventually spread to the world through the mouths of Liu and Wei. In that case, what's the use of you just killing me? That's why I'm determined to work with you alone! ”

The more Yuan Zhi thought about it, the more he admired. These three checks and balances are really taboo, and there is no way to do anything about it. couldn't help blurting out: "The donor is so scheming!" It's no wonder that you have risen from an unknown person to a powerful figure in just one year. It seems that we all underestimated you. ”

Wu Ruotang smiled slightly: "I really don't know if you are praising me or hurting me, I have been rolling on the road since I was a child, if I didn't have this bit of wit, I would have died hundreds of times, where would I still be today?" Alas, gossip aside, let's get back to business. Great monk, since we have decided to leave them alone, without further ado, we will leave now! ”

Yuan Zhi was surprised: "Now? So fast? ”

Wu Ruotang said: "Because I just talked to Liu Yuan and Wei Ting about their terms before, tonight is the moment when their psychology is the most relaxed, we will leave at this time, and we will definitely catch them off guard." But if it is after tonight, everyone will go on the road to find the scriptures according to the promise, and then they will eat at the same table, sleep in the same room, and be strictly guarded, and there will be no such good opportunity tonight. ”

Yuan Zhi nodded and said, "What you said does make sense. But I'll leave now, and when Liu and Wei wake up early tomorrow morning and find that we are gone, they will definitely be angry with my disciples...... Alas, with Wei Ting's cruel and murderous personality, I am afraid that more than 100 disciples under my sect will die one by one! It's not proper, it's not ......"

It seems that this Yuan Zhi is not the kind of selfish villain, at least he can't bear to kill his children innocently because of his own selfishness. Wu Ruotang smiled: "The great monk is too worried. When Liu and Wei saw that we were fleeing without them, they must have known that we had betrayed them and went to get the scriptures privately, and they naturally hoped that they would find us as soon as possible, and where would they have the leisure to kill people and be angry? ”

Yuan Zhi sighed: "I hope it is as Lord Wu said......"

Wu Ruotang shouted softly: "If you continue to break it, you will suffer from it!" If you hesitate like this any longer, the day will be dawn. ”

Yuan Zhi turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, but saw that the bright moon had slanted westward, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay." Let's go......" said, first opened the door of the meditation room, and after confirming that there was no one, he returned to the meditation room and motioned for Wu Ruotang and the two to leave together.

Wu Ruotang smiled proudly, took Fujiwara Iori's little hand and followed closely behind Yuanzhi. Yuan Zhi, Yuan Zhi, if I, Wu Ruotang, can escape this time, it will all be thanks to you, you must not disappoint me!

It was still cold outside the door, but at some point a faint mist actually appeared. The three of them tiptoed through the temple with swiftness and agility like cats. The scale of this Buddhist temple is very large, the courtyard is deep, and it is afraid of being discovered by others, and it is still in the Buddhist temple after walking for half an hour. Wu Ruotang was very annoyed, and quietly approached Yuan Zhi and asked in a low voice, "Great monk, what kind of ghost temple are you?" How is it so big? I haven't gotten out for a long time......"

Yuan Zhi smiled slightly, and said: "The donor's internal injuries have not healed and he can't use the technique of light body lifting, so we can only take a detour according to the direction of the building. Otherwise, we would have walked in a straight line on the cornices and walls, and we would have already gone out of the temple area. ”

Wu Ruotang was very upset and said, "Great monk, are you blaming me for burdening you?" ”

Yuan Zhi hurriedly said: "The donor misunderstood, how could the poor monk think like that?" I mean, since the situation is like this, we should just sneak slowly and calmly, which is not in a hurry. ”

Wu Ruotang snorted and said, "By the way, I've been here for so long, I don't know what the name of your temple is?" I think this temple is large in scale and the incense is very prosperous, so I think it should be a very famous temple? ”

Yuan Zhi said humbly: "This place is called Xiangji Temple. Poor monks have been here since they left Shaolin more than 10 years ago. More than ten years ago, this temple was just an ordinary temple, but after my painstaking management, it has such a prosperous situation today...... Alas, once I leave the temple tonight, I don't think I will have much chance to come back in the future, and I can't help but feel a lot of emotion in my heart. ”

Wu Ruotang touched his head and muttered, "Xiangji Temple? Haven't heard of it...... It stands to reason that I've been in Xiangyang for a few days, so why haven't I heard of such a big temple nearby? ”

Yuan Zhi smiled: "The donor has never heard of the name of Xiangji Temple, that's normal. After all, this place is more than 800 miles away from Xiangyang City...... However, the temple is also very famous in the Heluo area. ”

"What? More than 800 miles? …… River...... Heluo area? Wu Ruotang exclaimed. If it weren't for the fear of being discovered, I was afraid that he would have wailed again and again. He froze and asked, "So where is this place?" ”

Yuan Zhi looked at Wu Ruotang and said, "Xishan Xiangji Temple." Because this mountain is located in the west of Luoyang forty miles, it is called West Mountain. ”

Luoyang? Xi shan? Wu Ruotang almost had a feeling that he was about to faint, but he couldn't imagine that he was in a coma for a while, and he was actually taken to the Luoyang area by Liu Yuan, a bastard. Thinking about the 800-mile journey from Xiangyang to Luoyang, Liu Yuan must not have been so kind to carry it in a sedan chair, and eighty percent of it was wrapped in a broken sack, thrown at random on horseback or in a corner of the car, and pulled by a dead pig. It's no wonder that when I first woke up, I felt soreness and pain.

Seeing that Wu Ruotang's face was not good, Fujiwara Iori couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Brother Ang, why is your face so ugly?" Did the internal injuries on the body recur? ”

Wu Ruotang shook his head and smiled reluctantly: "No, I'm fine." ”

At this time, Yuan Zhi was already delighted: "Master Wu, in front of you is the Tibetan scripture building of this temple. There is a side door behind the scripture building, and out of the side door is a shortcut down the mountain. This shortcut is used by the monks of this temple to go down the mountain to carry water and shop, the mountain road is rugged and difficult, but it is better than the Qianmen Road to take many detours, and ordinary people do not know. ”

Wu Ruotang looked in the direction pointed by Yuan Zhi, and saw a high-rise building with a simple form standing in front of him. This high-rise building is built on the mountain, surrounded by forests, but it is also solemn and imposing. (To be continued.) )
