[Comprehensive martial arts] Holy Monk

With a flash of blue light, the two daggers were unsheathed.

This is by no means the wooden sword that children often use when practicing martial arts, but a solid sword made of iron.It's just that the edge of the sword has not yet been sharpened, and the two children will not miss and cause death or injury to each other when they compete in martial arts.

The two children greeted each other, and immediately used their best swordsmanship to fight.

They played very seriously, but they were young and weak, and their internal strength was not good enough. In Fang Tianzhi's eyes, it was like slow motion, and every move was clear and distinct.After eighty or ninety strokes, he saw that although the swordsmanship of these two people was somewhat level, their sword minds were not very bright, and the two little brothers were weak at this moment, and the iron sword was not very stable. The sword moves were also not up to standard, obviously the winner could only be determined in a blink of an eye, it just depends on who is better at it.

Fang Tianzhi was still on the sidelines, Lin Wangsun's expression in the hall was already uncertain, before the two children could tell who was the superior, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Okay, don't fight anymore."

The two children immediately stopped their hands and turned around as if following the imperial edict, looking at their father eagerly.

Lin Wangsun was sullen and disappointed, and asked after a while, "Are you tired?"

The little boy in purple was more clever, and said first: "My child is not tired."

Lin Wangsun said: "I see you are very tired, you have already learned how to use your sword as a walking stick on the ground!"

The purple-clothed boy blushed immediately, and was closing his sword hesitantly, but he heard Lin Wangsun say: "The Chaochao Sword Art is a fierce sword. Don't look forward and backward when you make a move. You must have an indomitable momentum. You cut out with this sword. , can you split a wave?" Glancing at the boy in yellow again, he sighed slightly, "Shuxue's 36 moves are soft and soft swords, don't go straight and straight when you strike, and you must be agile when the wind blows and snows around you. How do you feel about using it?"

The two children were discouraged and said angrily: "The child has let the father down."

Lin Wangsun remained silent, his eyes flicked over the two of them, and slowly looked over all the children in the main hall, and finally said: "That's all. That's all."

Seeing his gloomy expression, Chu Liuxiang was about to say something to comfort him, but from the corner of his eye, someone flashed out of the bamboo shadow outside the hall, looked closely at him and said with a smile: "Xue Jing, you are here."

Fang Tianzhi stepped into the door under the eyes of dozens of people in the room, bowed his head and bowed to all four, and then said softly: "The poor monk has arrived a long time ago, but it happened to coincide with the two young masters competing with swords, and he felt that it would not be nice to disturb him, so he stayed outside for a while. Wait and wait."

Lin Wangsun smiled wryly when he heard the words, and said: "The dog's qualifications are not good, and the master laughed."

Fang Tianzhi selfishly agreed, but it was hard to put it this way, so he pondered and said: "I see that your son is very familiar with sword moves. He must have been studying hard in the cold and summer. With this perseverance, he will surely become a master in the future. "

Chu Liuxiang also agreed: "That's right. There are many late bloomers along the way of learning martial arts. Brother Wang Sun, you were tired and lazy in your early years, and your swordsmanship suddenly became better when you reached the top. In six or seven years, you became a famous master in southern Fujian. Isn't it an excellent example? Father Xiao, Xiaozu Sun, they are still young, they can't see anything, you just need to relax."

However, Lin Wangsun's enthusiasm faded: "The nest is about to be overthrown, so how can there be time to wait for them to bloom late?"

Concubine Ji, who was sitting around, turned pale when she heard this, and became agitated anxiously.

Lin Wangsun came back to his senses, looked around the crowd and said: "The family is in trouble right now, it's useless for you to stay, it's better to go away. After the big steward gives you the money, you... take your children and leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the concubines in the room began to sob and sob.Some said they refused to leave, some asked what was going on, and some accidentally pinched the child in their arms, causing the child to cry.A little one cried, causing a group of ignorant children to panic. Tears welled up, and they couldn't help grinning to join in. Even though the hall was full of ups and downs, it was like a magic sound filling their ears.

Only a few older children stood there in a daze, like a long-legged crane strayed into a flock of chickens. On the one hand, they had the urge to blend in with the crowd, but on the other hand they did not dare to cry without thinking, and their eyes turned red. He looked at Lin Wangsun like a rabbit.

However, Lin Wangsun was unmoved, and the concubines cried for a while, seeing his indifferent and resolute demeanor, they didn't dare to provoke him anymore, so they led the children away with their faces clasped.

Chu Liuxiang, a prodigal son who had never seen the scene, just lowered his head and drank tea the whole time. After the women and children had left, he looked at the spacious and quiet main hall and let out a long sigh of relief: "Brother Wang Sun, you are such a blessing, ordinary people can't afford it." of."

Lin Wangsun also had a headache, propped his forehead and smiled wryly: "You still want to make fun of me."

The three of them went to the back hall for breakfast.At this time, all the servants in Lin's mansion were gone, so breakfast had to be simple, just a few pastries, porridge and vegetables.Lin Wangsun consciously neglected, but Chu and Fang didn't care.

After dinner, Lin Wangsun said: "Where did Brother Chu go to enjoy the snow early in the morning? Such an elegant thing, you didn't even invite us two."

Chu Liuxiang smiled: "It's just walking around, just looking around." He added, "Haihou's Mansion occupies the entire street, and the roads outside are wide and accessible, so it's very difficult to hide your whereabouts. The person who sent you the post His lightness skills must be excellent, and his ability to disguise is even more impressive."

Getting back to the topic, Lin Wangsun's originally slightly relaxed face became heavy again.He nodded in agreement, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly remembered something and said to the two of them, "I have an unfeeling request."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Brother Wang Sun, it's okay to talk."

Lin Wangsun said: "Since the orphan of the Shen family cannot be sent away right now, I am afraid that she will live alone and there will be a mistake, so I plan to take her to the residence today, so that I can protect her nearby."

Chu Liuxiang said: "This is what should be done. If you are worried, the three of us can go for a walk together."

Lin Wangsun seemed to be having difficulty opening his mouth, hesitating for a long time and said: "Thank you, brother Chu, for your kindness. It's just that although she knew her own background, she... didn't know that it was her father who lost the token, which caused the Shen family to be wiped out. For so many years,... …me……"

Chu Liuxiang already understood, he sighed: "So all these years, you dare not get close to her, and you dare not tell her the truth?"

Lin Wangsun stared silently, and said for a while, "The surname Lin dare not desecrate Shen's orphan.... I am not worthy to be close to her."

Chu Liuxiang asked again: "Do you want us to help you keep this secret?"

Lin Wangsun said bitterly: "Yes."

Chu Liuxiang and Fang Tianzhi looked at each other, and they both fell silent.

Lin Wangsun said: "She grew up under the protection of the Lin family since she was a baby. If she suddenly learned the truth, wouldn't she be overwhelmed with pain...Maybe she will never be happy again in this life. So you two... If after this catastrophe, I If you are lucky enough to survive, please hide it for me and let me take care of her for decades. But maybe... I will die on the night of the fifteenth day." He opened his mouth, "If I die, please tell her .Maybe she'll be happier to see my dead body."

These words were too heavy, making Chu Liuxiang feel a little out of breath.

He looked at Lin Wangsun for a long time, knowing that he had no way not to agree to his friend's request.

Lin Wangsun looked at Fang Tianzhi with a hint of shame.

Fang Tianzhi stopped thinking, and said calmly: "The poor monk has already agreed to benefactor Lin, and the secrets of the Shen family will never be disclosed to the fourth person."

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and recited the Buddha's name again: "Amitabha, sin, sin!"

Probably Lin Wangsun had already made arrangements to pick them up. When the three of them arrived at the place, the servants in the other courtyard had already packed up. As soon as the carriage stopped, they came out in twos and threes carrying the burden box.

The carriage where Fang Tianzhi was in was quite spacious, and it was spacious and comfortable for several people to ride together.At this time, he was sitting opposite Chu Liuxiang, knowing that he might not be able to finish moving for a while, so he quietly closed his eyes and meditated on things.Chu Liuxiang was extremely bored by himself, so he opened the brocade curtain on the window and looked outside.

Lin Wangsun's other courtyard has a narrow Wumen gate, quietly concealing the inner view, but surrounded by plum groves, leaning against the blue waves, and there is still a pleasure boat with bamboo curtains half-draped beside the lake at the back gate.Chu Liuxiang glanced at it for a while, and said, "The scenery here is beautiful and lovely, and you can drive a boat to the most prosperous river in the city in just a cup of tea. This small courtyard must be expensive."

Fang Tianzhi said: "You are right. The poor monk has been here before, and he came here on that boat."

Chu Liuxiang said: "The girl brought you here?"

Fang Tianzhi replied: "Yes."

Chu Liuxiang was immediately interested, put down the curtain and asked, "What did that girl tell you? Is it convenient for Fang to tell me?"

Fang Tianzhi said calmly: "There is no inconvenience. She told herself that she was an orphan girl. In order to avoid being chased and killed by the people on board, she had been closely protected by the Lin family. It was extremely difficult for her to go out for many years. She was greedy that day. Scenery, unwilling to leave, that's why I had a slight dispute with the guards around me, and happened to be caught by the poor monk and meddle in business."

Chu Liuxiang smiled when he heard the words, and said, "So that's how it is."

Fang Tianzhi had only known Chu Liuxiang for two days, but he always felt that this person was very clever and sometimes unpredictable. At this time, he felt strange for no reason, so he couldn't help but glance at him, and asked, "But what's wrong?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled in surprise, and said, "Why do you ask such a question?"

Fang Tianzhi couldn't say that you looked very cunning, so he said bluntly: "I saw your expression, and I suddenly felt this in my heart."

Chu Liuxiang didn't answer, but instead asked, "What else did the girl say?"

Fang Tianzhi probably had the bottom line, thinking that the girl's words might be inaccurate, so she didn't bother to ask, and replied: "She knew that I came to the city to find someone, so she told me to find Ma Zianzhang."

Chu Liuxiang nodded, remembering the situation in the gambling house, and smiled again: "I thought about it, and I always felt that you were a little strange at the time, and seemed to pay attention to my Boss Wang. What is this for?"

Because brother, the back of your head is shining!

However, Fang Tianzhi looked at him tenderly, and smiled helplessly: "Because when I entered the door, I noticed that you were looking at me."

Naturally, Chu Liuxiang could never have thought of the truth, so she also praised with a smile: "The heart is like a mirror, there is no other way! Xue Jing, your intuition is amazing, and there are few things in the world that can be hidden from you."

Fang Tianzhi raised his lacquered eyebrows lightly when he heard the words, twirled the beads and said gently: "Amitabha. True or false, false or true, all are like dreams and bubbles. How can I see through it, so what if I can't see through it?"

Chu Liuxiang's heart was touched, and he couldn't help sighing: "Buddhism has its true meaning, but no matter you or me right now, only by seeing through the confusion and understanding the enemy from this catastrophe can we retreat completely and achieve consummation."

When Fang Tianzhi heard "know the enemy and ourselves", he knew that Chu Liuxiang might not fully believe what Lin Wangsun said, and there was some hesitation in his heart.But he didn't say a word, probably because he didn't want to criticize his friend in front of himself before he cleared his mind.

Thinking of this, he kept silent and smiled faintly at Chu Liuxiang.

Chu Liuxiang also lightly skipped this section, and said: "I only know that you left the Dongxin Temple, but I don't know where the temple is located?"

Fang Tianzhi was about to answer when he heard the guards and servants shouting in unison: "Master Hou!"

The two immediately put aside the gossip, Chu Liuxiang lifted the curtain and saw Lin Wangsun let a girl in white clothes out from the Wumen of the other courtyard.The girl wore a light gauze hat in her hair, which concealed her face, but she still had a graceful figure, moving like a willow, and she was indescribably charming.Fang Tianzhi had seen her before, and he knew it was Shen Mian at a glance.

And Lin Wangsun invited her to the first carriage in a gentle voice.The guard driving the car opened the car door, he helped the girl into the car and sat down, and said: "The two people in the car are my friends, you don't have to be afraid."

Chu Liuxiang saw her timid temperament, and in order to avoid the suspicion of her friends, when she was boarding the car, she stepped up to Fang Tianzhi's side first, sat side by side with him, vacated the seat on the left, and smiled politely Greeting: "Miss Shen."

Shen Mian sat down in the compartment, quietly raised her eyelashes to look at the two, but she saw Fang Tianzhi first.Her body froze suddenly, and she said in a trembling voice, "It's you?"

Fang Tianzhi had no time to ponder whether her attitude was surprise or joy, he nodded and said: "Shen Tanyue, we meet again."

But Lin Wangsun got into the car one step later, smiled at Shen Mian, and said softly, "Master Xue Jing, you have seen him before. The young man next to him is surnamed Chu, I'm afraid you don't recognize him yet."

After Shen Mian listened quietly, she said softly, "Young Master Chu is polite." After a pause, she said again, "Master, don't come here without any problems."

Fang Tian made eleven obeisances and said, "Amitabha."
