One Hundred and Eighteen                                                           �

In the late Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a middle-aged monk who was thin, with clear eyebrows and thin eyes, long beard and fluttering chest, and a large knife on his back. The knife was more than a foot wide, nearly five feet long. There were seven iron rings hanging on the back of the knife, with rings three inches apart and about two inches in diameter, long handle, fish skin scabbard, and seven rings exposed. When walking, the rings were jingling and making a sound, which was very majestic. When he begged for alms in the capital and walked in the streets and alleys, everyone was amazed and asked him where he performed the rituals. He smiled but didn't say anything, and he didn't know which temple monk he was from. Because he was carrying a seven-ring sword, people called him a seven-ring monk.

There is a "friendship escort agency" outside the front gate of the capital. The boss Song Yanchao's martial arts skills are amazing and famous in the martial arts world. He is good at making friends with martial arts masters all over the world. He heard of the name of the monk Seven Ring Road, so he came and asked to join the escort agency to meet him.

The monk Qihuan entered the escort agency. After the vegetarian food, Song Yanchao said to the monk Qihuan: "The monk is carrying such a heavy sword, so he must have a unique skill. Please ask the monk to show his sword to teach him, which will be a blessing for everyone." The monk Qihuan laughed and said, "I often walk at night, and I am afraid that I will encounter jackals, tigers and leopards to harm my body. I carry a knife to protect myself. I have not had any martial arts skills, so why should I teach him? I am ashamed, ashamed!" Song Yanchao knew that he was humble, so he did not force him to ask for it.

One day, Song Yanchao held a banquet and invited all martial arts friends. All those with prestigious martial arts in the capital came to the banquet. The monks who sat down were Seven Rings, who ate at the last vegetarian table, and kept their swords away. When they arrived at the toilet, they also carried the swords and went there. After the banquet, Song met with martial arts friends. Each of them showed their martial arts and used their strengths. The cheers came one after another. The monks of Seven Rings watched behind the crowd, watching without saying a word, and even asked them to show their skills. They still smiled and refused. Song Yanchao paid close attention and looked at them carefully. When he arrived at the toilet, he carried more than a hundred kilograms of big swords like carrying a light wooden stick. He secretly praised in his heart: This monk's divine power is hidden deep and he has unique skills. He is a master of the world.

Song Yanchao ordered an apprentice named Cheng, who was narrow-minded and despised the poor and loved the rich, and was a snobbish villain. Song Ming Cheng and the monk Qihuan lived in the west room of the backyard with the monk Qihuan, and asked him to take care of him. Every day, the monk Qihuan wandered around leisurely except for eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name, and had nothing to do. Over time, Cheng Neng said, "I look at the monk Qihuan mediocre, and I walked out of the escort bureau with a big knife and went out of the escort agency. I had no martial arts skills. Why not chase him for peace?" Song heard this and scolded him, "Don't be rude. The monk asked me to enter the game, and I need a guest." Cheng Neng was scolded and felt unhappy, and he became even more disgusted.

One day on Mid-Autumn Festival, Song occasionally felt a cold wind and went to the toilet at night to relieve his anger. When he returned to his bedroom, he suddenly saw a black shadow coming out of the west room in the backyard. Song Yu looked at it in the dark. The monk was originally a seven-ring monk with a knife out of the house. He saw him walking on his body and his body was shaking. There was no trace for a moment. Song secretly praised him. The monk was indeed very skilled, but he returned to the house to sleep. The sky was dawn, and Cheng Neng came to report that the monk Seven-ring monk left without saying goodbye last night and did not know where to go. Song pretended not to know, and followed Cheng to the west room in the backyard to check it out. He heard the snoring sounds like thunder in the room. The monk Seven-ring monk was sleeping soundly. He was sleeping soundly. Song laughed and said to Cheng: "The monk clearly slept soundly in the room, so why did he leave without saying goodbye? You have not woken up from your dreams and suffer from night travel." Cheng Meng was circled, huh? I just saw no one on the bed, so how could he return in an instant? Could it be that he saw a ghost? However, Song admired the reason why, the monk Seven-ring monk was a god!

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the monk Qihuan said to Song, "Zi said: It is not polite to be polite. I am harassing the house for several days. Boss Song served the vegetarian food every day. The monk felt ashamed. Tonight, I held a banquet in the backyard and entertained the office. Please give me a face to the banquet." Song was confused and said, "The monk usually fills the vegetarian food and has no silver. How can I get the funds to prepare the banquet?" The monk Qihuan laughed and said, "Even if Boss Song goes to the banquet as scheduled, I have my own arrangements, so don't worry."

In the evening, everyone in the bureau was invited to the backyard. Seeing that there was no banquet for the backyard, the courtyard was empty, everyone laughed at it. The monk Qihuan walked into the courtyard and bowed to the crowd and said, "Amitabha, please be careful not to be impatient. I see that I am a monk who makes fun of everyone." He waved his sleeves and said, "The banquet was coming!" He said, "As soon as he spoke, a small whirlwind came to the courtyard and circled past. Eight tables of wine and banquets suddenly appeared in the courtyard. The table was covered with chicken, duck, fish, meat, and delicious wine and food. He asked, "Please ask Boss Song to bring you all to the table and enjoy it." Everyone was surprised, and at this time everyone realized that he was a god.

The jade rabbit rose eastward, the moonlight was bright, and everyone was drinking happily, drinking, drinking, and shooting rock-paper-scissors. The monk Seven Rings frequently toasted, but the wine and meat were not mixed, and he still vegetarian. It was bustling until midnight. The monk Seven Rings said to everyone: "After the invitation of the boss of the Song Dynasty, I have been disturbed by the bureau for several days, and I have eaten countless foods. I am very ashamed. I invite you now, one is to return the gift, and the other is to say goodbye. I was invited by the host of Tianning Temple outside Guang'anmen. I will go to the temple to recite scriptures tomorrow. Today I will hold a banquet. I booked the Quanjude Hotel outside the front door and now I will return it." After saying that, another whirlwind swirled past, and there was no table, chair, plate, bowl, cup and chopstick in the courtyard. Everyone clapped and cheered, and they all were happy.

At dawn, the monk Seven Ring Road said goodbye. Song sent him outside the door. When he was about to leave, he said calmly: "In the future, if there is a difficult thing for Boss Song, please tell me, and I will help you with all my strength and never refuse."

The following summer, Boss Song was entrusted by the government and entrusted 50,000 taels of silver to Fuzhou. This time, the dart was a big deal, and the responsibility was heavy. Song took action himself and went all out to protect the dart.

The escorts escorts carts, and they were placed on the escort carts, and they were placed in the flags of the escort agency. They were walking day and night, and they were cautious along the way, and they were afraid of accidents. When the escort carts arrived at the Yimeng Mountains in Shandong, they saw overlapping mountains, growing grass and trees, rugged rocks, and the road was rugged. Everyone was more careful, but the disaster finally came! Suddenly, a gong sounded, and a group of people rushed out of the valley, blocking the way. The leader of the purple bearded straddled a high-headed horse, holding a double hammer, laughed loudly and said, "

Haha! I waited here for a long time, and finally met him. I left a escort cart and spared you all!" Song Zhi met a robber and slapped forward, bowed and said, "I left with a escort cart and returned safely for half a year. I am the head of the Beijing Friends Escort Bureau. Please let my friends go and let them go. The green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow. There will be rewards in the future." The purple bearded man shouted loudly, "Don't be long-winded! I want to let him go, but I don't respond to the two hammers in my hand. Hehe! Leave the escort cart and get out!"

The words were not right, Song Liangjian, and both sides took action. Song slashed him with sword. The other party raised a hammer to meet him. The two horses and ringed each other and fought together. The purple bearded beard was fierce. After more than ten rounds, Song Jian refused to support him. The robbers also rushed forward. The two sides fought in a mess, using their unique skills, and the sound of killing was deafening. However, there were more robbers than the bodyguards. The robbers killed the driver and robbed the carriage. When the purple bearded beard saw him, he whistled and the robbers retreated like a tide. Seeing that more than half of his subordinates were injured and killed, they knew that the situation was gone and it was difficult to recover, so they abandoned the pursuit and found another strategy to use it.

Song generals were robbed of the car and reported to the local government. The government sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress them, and went into the mountains and searched them carefully. There was no trace of the robbers. After more than ten days, they still found no trace of the robbers. Song then led the escorts back to Beijing and discussed other countermeasures. When the Beijing government learned that Guanyin was robbed, he was furious and ordered Song to solve the case and recover it within a time limit. Song was anxious and had no choice but to have any advice. He suddenly remembered the words of the monk Seven Ring Road before leaving, so he prepared horses and ceremony to go to Tianning Temple to invite him to help him.

Song saw the monk Qihuan, and detailed the details and asked for help. The monk Qihuan closed his eyes and thought for a long time, saying, "I thought that after this robber was successful, I fled far away. I had long been resentful and hatred with the head of the robber, the purple beard, who took advantage of me to practice the method and destroyed my temple. I searched several times but failed. I was still wandering. This time, I decided to eliminate it quickly." He paused and said, "Homeless thieves are difficult to attract external troubles. I believe that there is an inside line of the robber in the escort agency. If you check this inside line, you will definitely know the whereabouts of the robbers, and it will be easy to eliminate it." Song asked anxiously: "Who is the inside line? Ask the monk to name the monk." The monk Qihuan laughed and said, "Please come over with your ears." Then he whispered in his ears, "It is necessary to do this, and the inside line must be exposed. After Song heard this, he frequently pointed his head and said that this plan was very wonderful.

Song Guijie Bureau announced in public that the robbers' hiding place had been found. Please rest in the morning and set out with the government army tomorrow morning to suppress them. That night Song and two confidants hid in the dark and looked at them carefully. In the middle of the night, the west door of the backyard creaked open, and a figure quietly left the house. Song fixed his eyes and looked at them. Cheng Neng! Cheng Neng jumped out of the courtyard wall and ran straight to a hotel. Song led his two confidants to follow him and arrived at the hotel. The three of them flew over to the room. Seeing Cheng Neng entering the north house, under the light, he sneered with a merchant. Song listened carefully and heard Cheng Neng said, "You will return to the mountain tonight and tell the purple beard that the official army has known the hiding place and must escape before the official army encirclement and suppression."

Song was furious when he heard this. Those who knew that the merchants were robbers, flew into the house with swords and stabbed the merchants to death. Cheng Neng was shocked and turned around to escape. He was blocked by his two confidants with a knife. Cheng Neng sued him and brought him back to the escort agency to investigate.

The inside line was tied up and was tortured. Cheng Neng offered everything. A few days ago, he was bribed by the robbers and leaked the route of the ward, time and quantity. The robber promised that after the matter was completed, he would repay him with a thousand taels of silver. He offered the place where he was robbed was hidden in the cave of Wangfu Reef on Changdao, Penglai, Shandong.

Song and the monk Seven Rings led the escorts and the head of the government to suddenly appear in the Fu Fu Reef. The robbers were shocked when they saw it. The reason why the matter was not good, Zibangwei led the minions to force themselves to go out and set up a formation in front of Wang Fu Reef. The monk Seven Rings said to the crowd, "Princess Song and the crowd should watch the enemy formation. I only need one person to fight to destroy the enemy in front of the formation." After saying that, he jumped onto the horse and lifted his sword and rushed out, shouting, "Princess Beard brings his life!" Zibangwei shouted angrily, "I heard that you have been looking for me for many times. The past resentment has been broken now!" So he beat the horse and waved the hammer and took it straight. The monk flew up and raised his sword to greet him. The knife collided with the hammer, and the "clang" made a thunderous sound, deafening. The two hammers of the purple beard were shaken away, the mount was shocked, and the person was bounced several feet away, and he fainted immediately!

The minions were shocked, relying on the large number of people and power, they rushed forward and wanted to save their master. The Seven Ring Monk waved his big sword like flying, and the light of the knife shone brightly, like chopping melons and vegetables, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. In an instant, dozens of robbers died under the big sword!

Song and the others were extremely excited when they watched it. Compared with the martial arts of their confidants, the difference between heaven and earth was the difference between heaven and earth!

In a short time, countless robbers were killed and injured, and their purple beards were also killed. When the rest of the country saw that the situation was gone, they ran away with their heads and fled to the sea to escape.

Song and the others entered the reef cave and saw that the 50,000 raids and silver had not been paid enough. They wanted to thank the monk Seven Rings. When they saw the monk Seven Rings laughed and said, "The silver has returned, the thief has been destroyed, I am leaving!" After saying that, they saw him throwing the Seven Rings sword into the air, jumped up, stepped on the blade, and left in the air, without a trace in an instant.
