Chapter 5 Being targeted
Zen Master Minghui was a very good person and was not at all curious about what Chen Xuanfeng wrote. He waited from a distance until Chen Xuanfeng finished writing, then put it in an envelope prepared by the temple, wrote the four characters "personally from my teacher", and then stuck sealing wax on the seal.
Then he walked over, took the letter in his hand, and said to a young novice: "Go and call your uncle Yuankun."
Not long after, a thin monk with slender eyes, about thirty years old, followed the novice monk into the temple. Zen Master Minghui took the letter in his hand and said: "Yuankun, go to Peach Blossom Island right now and deliver this letter."
To Lord Huang."
Monk Yuankun suddenly looked happy and said, "Disciple, go now."
The monks at Puji Zen Temple all know that the reward given by the Lord of Huangdao is quite generous. For sending him a letter, the reward may be as much as a gold ingot.
Monk Yuankun accepted the order and left. After Chen Xuanfeng finished his work, he did not dare to stay. After bidding farewell to Zen Master Minghui, he and Mei Chaofeng both left, coming and going in a hurry.
Looking at the backs of Chen Mei and Chen Mei, the abbot who had been silent came closer to Minghui and said tentatively: "Brother, why do I feel something is wrong? These two people seem to be anxious. Could it be that something big happened on Taohua Island?
Already?"
Minghui smiled and said, "What big thing could it be? It will be several months before Mrs. Huang is due to give birth. Donor Huang sent people to the inland at this time, most likely to seek for his wife's anti-fetal elixir."
I didn’t explain what Abbot Huihe was talking about behind his back. I just said that Mei Chaofeng and Chen Xuanfeng walked side by side to the mountainside. Seeing no one around, they couldn’t help but ask: "Old thief, it’s so hard for you to hide this from me! You can actually write,
Why have you never told me? Also, what do you mean by this letter? Do you want to return that thing to Master? What do you want to do? "
"Yes, I plan to return the things to Master..."
"Are you crazy?" Before Chen Xuanfeng could finish speaking, Mei Chaofeng's expression changed, "You are seeking death, do you know? We have been worried for so long, and we finally took out the things, but you have to return them.
Go back? Do you think Master won’t punish you if you go back?”
"No, no, honey, listen to me."
"You said, if you can't explain this today, we don't even have to go, we can just wait for death on Mount Putuo!"
Even though Mei Chaofeng had a strong temperament, she couldn't help but shed a few tears because she was angered by Chen Xuanfeng.
"Honey, ask yourself, is Master kind to you?"
"Of course I'm grateful! You don't have to say that? But...don't I want to stay with you? If I continue to stay on the island, do you think Master will agree to marry me to you?"
"Don't say those things for now. Just say that Master is kind to you, and you have admitted it yourself. Then let me ask you, what will Master do if we take away the scriptures and don't return them?"
"He must be furious. Haven't we discussed this a long time ago? So we must run far away."
"Alas..." Chen Xuanfeng sighed, and then said, "You only thought about the master being furious, but you didn't think about what would happen to the master's wife when she saw the master like this."
"Master's Wife?" Mei Chaofeng was stunned, and then said with a guilty look on his face: "She will probably be worried because of Master's rage."
"Not only will she be worried! She will also think of ways to help Master solve this matter!"
"Solve it? You mean she helped Master catch us? That doesn't seem possible. She doesn't know martial arts, and she doesn't know where we will go."
"If this is not the solution, she will try hard to memorize the scriptures she memorized three years ago! But in the past three years, she has not put her mind on this scripture at all, and she must not have remembered it all, so she will rack her brains
, think about it with all your heart, this is very bad for her health, she will die young because of this!"
"Ah?" Mei Chaofeng was shocked. She had never thought that this matter would have such a chain reaction. Now that her husband's words were reasonable and well-founded, she believed most of them and asked quickly: "What should we do?"
"Don't tell me! That's why I thought of returning the scripture. Anyway, this scripture only has two volumes, and the master has not mastered it. Why should we let him lose it for life? We only need to copy a copy and take it with us..."
"Okay! I'll do as you say. I'll make a copy and keep it. But didn't we agree on this? I'll tattoo the scripture on your body and you won't make another copy. It's up to us.
With my current strength, it’s hard to keep a book like this from being snatched away by others.”
As the saying goes, if you speak inside the house, someone will overhear you outside; if you speak on the roadside, someone will overhear you in the grass. This is true.
Chen Mei and Chen Mei only thought that there were cliffs on both sides of this mountain road. If there was no one on the road, no one would hear them. They gradually relaxed their vigilance and made it clear that they were carrying scriptures. Unexpectedly, there was someone on the right side of their road.
Someone happened to hear this in an open space below the cliff.
The cliff is a real cliff, but not all the cliffs along the mountain road are an abyss. In some areas, the mountains under the cliff are only three to five feet away from the mountain road, and the cliff walls are not all steep and vertical. Some cliffs have a slightly gentle slope.
, it is possible to get on and off people.
Shen Qingtong was the person who heard Chen Mei talking.
Shen Qingtong was a farmer in Shen's family across from Mount Putuo, but he neither fished, hunted, or farmed. He only relied on his martial arts training to become a boat master in Mount Putuo.
Just like the fare tyrant, the boat tyrant makes a living by collecting protection fees from ferrymen. Aren't you a ferry? Okay, you charge ten taels for the ferry fare, and I'll give you three cents. If you ferry for half a month and earn ten taels, I'll give you three cents.
two.
Shen Qinggang did not just make his way into society on his own. He had an older brother who was very famous. He was known as the Soul-Severing Sword Shen Qinggang. With his skillful knife skills and excellent swimming skills, he was accepted as a disciple by Sha Tongtian, the powerful king of the world.
Nasha Tongtian Salon King is the leader of the Yellow River Gang, and he is very famous. Although he has always been the leader in the Yellow River Basin, ordinary people do not dare to provoke such a powerful person. After all, the Yellow River Gang has a large number of people, second only to the Beggar Gang, and more powerful than the Hunan and Hubei Gang.
The Iron Palm Gang in the area is a bit stronger. If they invite friends to attack, who can stop them?
Therefore, the reputation of the Salon King and his first disciple Shen Qinggang further boosted Shen Qingtong's arrogance. Except for Taohua Island, he really didn't take anyone else seriously in the Putuo Mountain area of Zhoushan.
At this time, Shen Qingtong was squatting under the cliff. He thought there might be something wrong with the seafood he ate last night. His stomach began to growl on the boat. When he reached the mountainside, he couldn't hold it in anymore. He could only find a passerby on the road to watch.
Drain the missing corners.
Shen Qingtong came to see Monk Yuan Kun. Monk Yuan Kun was his follower before he became a monk. The two of them often caused harm to the neighbors, but later they accidentally got into trouble with the government and had to become a monk.
It's just that Yuan Kun's becoming a monk made it easier for Shen Qinggang to go to Mount Putuo for extortion. Yuan Kun kept silent on weekdays, but he kept track of the pilgrims who often came to Mount Putuo and told Shen Qinggang everything.
This is equivalent to putting a shackles on the ferry boatman, what? You said you didn't ferry anyone last night? How did that so-and-so go up the mountain when you didn't ferry anyone? Did he fly here?
Chen Mei and Shen Qingtong listened to most of the answers. Although the two of them had leaked the key words, Shen Qingtong still didn't fully understand. He just guessed that these two people must be carrying extremely important scriptures.
But I don’t know what scripture it is.
No, you have to think of a way to get the things from these two people. No matter what scripture it is, it is related to martial arts anyway. If it is a secret book, take it to the leader of the Sha Gang, and you can join the Yellow River Gang.
