Shaolin Bajue

Chapter 11 Mantis Catching Cicadas
When Fang Jianming and Qingcheng saw the sage He Fei handing over Yanbei Shuangxie Yan Bao, the Yangui brothers were startled away, and the inn returned to calm.Everyone started to eat and drink, some people talked about He Fei's prestige just now, they couldn't help but click tut, Fang Jianming heard this, and thought in his heart: Why is this He Fei so powerful?Is it more powerful than the master's grandfather?Asked the master: "Master, who is this He Fei, and who is that Yanbei Shuangxie? When they saw He Fei, they were slapped twice like a mouse seeing a cat." , I dare not let out the air."

Qing Cheng smiled and said: "You don't know that. I'm telling you as a teacher, if you walk in the rivers and lakes in the future, don't offend people like He Fei. Do you know what his identity is?"

Fang Jianming said: "What is it?"

Qing Cheng said: "The people around the emperor today are the majestic Jinyiwei, you know. They are very powerful like the people in the East Factory and the West Factory, and sometimes they seem very cruel. You are young, don't know , I will understand when I grow up in the future." When Qing Cheng talked about Dongchang and Xichang, his voice was extremely low, almost whispering in Fang Jianming's ear.

Fang Jianming said "Oh", and said: "So they are Jin Yiwei, no wonder they are so majestic." The two said while eating.Both of them are delicious people. Although Qing Cheng is a monk, he is obese. exhausted.Fang Jianming didn't give in. After eating a bowl of rice, the rest of the food went to his little stomach. Fang Jianming laughed and said: "Master, I'm full from eating today, and I'm going to sleep soundly later."

Qing Cheng pulled Fang Jianming, called Xiao Er, and was about to pay the bill. The Xiao Er asked: "Do you two guests want to stay here for one night?"

Qing Cheng said: "Yes, what's the matter?"

Xiao Er smiled and said: "Our inn has a rule, you should pay the room fee together tomorrow morning, and our accountant will record it on the account."

After hearing this, Qing Cheng put away the money, dragged Fang Jianming downstairs, and walked straight to the courtyard where they stayed.

After returning to the courtyard and entering the house, Qing Cheng asked Fang Jianming to go to bed first, and he came to the door of the white-browed old man by himself, knocked on the door lightly, and said, "Old man, I am Qing Cheng, and I have something to say to your old man." explain."

I just heard the white-browed old man in the room say: "Okay, come in."

Qingcheng entered the room and saw the white-browed old man sitting at the table drinking tea quietly.Standing beside him was the handsome young man.

Qing Cheng said: "Old man, have you guys eaten?"

The white-browed old man nodded.He gestured with his eyes and asked Qingcheng to find a chair and sit down.

After Qing Cheng sat down, he said, "Old Man, Qing Cheng took a closer look in the front hall just now, this 'Yu Di No. Apart from being famous, everything else is unknown. By the way, old man, do you know He Fei, the 'Holy Hand'?"

The white-browed old man frowned, and said, "Holy Hand He Fei?... Well... When I was walking in the rivers and lakes, I had never heard of such a person, but I have heard of a man named 'God Hand' Yun Tianlan, He is the head of the 'Silver Film Gate', I don't know what relationship he has with this He Fei?"

Hearing this, Qing Cheng was secretly surprised and thought: This old man is really an old monster, and the "magic hand" Yun Tianlan has been dead for more than ten years. Since he is still alive and does not look old, the age of the holy hand He Fei is also the same. He was in his early sixties, and he didn't even know that he had been hidden in the world for many years, probably no less than a hundred years old.

Thinking of this, he said, "Old man, that He Fei is Yun Tianlan's disciple, and Yun Tianlan has been dead for many years."

The white-browed old man said: "It turns out that Yun Tianlan is dead, but unfortunately he is good at martial arts, why did you mention this surname?"

Qing Cheng said: "I don't know, old man. He Fei is now one of the four commanders of Jinyiwei, with a prominent status. Just now he drove away two martial arts people who made trouble in the front hall. Try not to care about these things, and let’s say that our actions this time can’t cause too many troubles, but he, the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, came to Henan, could it be that there is something important? Whether it has something to do with Shaolin, the poor monk dare not make wild guesses, but if you think about it, you have to think about it. What martial arts figures are being targeted by them."

The white-browed old man felt very strange when he heard that He Fei's identity was the vice-commander of Jinyiwei, and asked in surprise: "Strange, when did the 'Silver Gate' collude with the government? There is a rule in the 'Silver Gate'. Disciple is not allowed to be an official in court, He Fei is so courageous."

Qing Cheng was taken aback when he heard this, he didn't know that "Silver Sect" had this rule, in fact he didn't know much about "Silver Sect", he only knew that "Silver Sect" was an extremely secret sect in the martial arts, they People in Jianghu don't know where they live.Ordinary Jianghu people only know who the current head of the Silver Film Sect is, and there are one or two members of the Sect who walk in the Wulin.This "Silver Gate", together with the other "Sword Valley", "Magic Sword Gate", and "Cihangxuan", are collectively known as the four most secret martial arts sects.There are not many disciples in the sect, but once they leave the rivers and lakes, all of them are peerless masters.

Qing Cheng said: "Old man, I don't know about this poor monk. But the poor monk has heard that the current head of the 'Silver Sect' is a younger brother of Yun Tianlan. If Yun Tianlan dies, they will not be willing to be lonely. With the permission of the door, I have contacts with the imperial court."

The white-browed old man pondered for a moment, then said: "It seems so."

Then I chatted some gossips with Qing Cheng, and finally said: "Master Qing Cheng, we must not let outsiders know when we are here at Canglong Valley this time. I know that you are also wondering why we went to that extremely dangerous place. , but I will tell you when I get to that place.”

Qing Cheng chatted a few words in the house, said goodbye to the white-browed old man, returned to the house, and read the scriptures by the oil lamp for most of the day.

It is night, the moon is half round, like a small ivory.The misty clouds play with Crescent Moon, running in front of it for a while, and following behind it for a while, and often cover Crescent Moon mischievously, which makes Crescent Moon not annoyed.

Qing Cheng was sleeping soundly, when he suddenly heard people passing by on the roof at night, and the slight sound of feet stepping on the roof tiles.Qing Lima flew up, put on his coat in the blink of an eye, and came to the window, despite his fat appearance, his movements were not affected at all, his lightness skills and reflexes were both top-notch.Gently opened the window, Qingcheng turned over and fell under the window, his feet touched lightly, and he already flew up to the roof, his movements were done in one go, he spoke quickly, he spotted a black shadow in the distance, and unfolded Qinggong followed closely.

Not long after Qing Cheng left, a figure lightly fell from the sky. It was a masked man in a black body suit. He rolled his eyes, exposed his nakedness, and watched Qing Cheng go away with cold eyes. With a movement of his figure, he flew across the courtyard and flew seven feet away in the air, closely following Qing Cheng.

who is he?Why is it here?Could it be that he has been staring at Qing Cheng and his party?

"Amitabha, I have been out of the rivers and lakes for many years, and monsters, ghosts and snake spirits are still not uncommon."

An old man's figure was like a cloud of smoke, slowly rising to the roof, and he followed quietly behind without seeing how he exerted his strength. Under the faint moonlight, his pair of white eyebrows were extraordinarily bright.

Qing Cheng followed closely behind the night traveler, seeing that he was very familiar with this "Yu Di No. [-] Inn", just like his home, Qing Cheng followed behind him, more and more surprised, thinking: The inn is too big, you can't see the end if you look far, no wonder there is such a big tone.The owner of this inn is really a character.At the same time, I thought: who is this guy?How come he is so unfamiliar with this, it seems that he has been here before, or he is the person in the inn.

Qingcheng thought in his heart, suddenly saw the person in front of him lowered his figure, rushed towards a courtyard, followed his body, the person was already tightly attached to a roof ridge, the person looked around, and his body was very fast An "inverted silver curtain" hangs under the eaves like a spider.

Qing Cheng thought to himself: what is he going to do.

Qing Cheng was afraid that if he walked in, he would find out. He happened to see two towering trees growing in that courtyard. Qing Cheng was like swinging on a swing, gently passing through them. Oh, Qing Cheng's feet were square on the trees, and his feet were crooked. , causing the tree body to shake slightly, and Qing Cheng was so frightened that he hurriedly stuck to the trunk, holding his breath, not daring to let out a breath.

"Who is it?...Who is outside?" Someone in the room shouted loudly.

With the sound of "Ah", the window opened, revealing half of his body. The person who was hanging upside down under the eaves had already moved back to the roof and lay down on the tiles. With a "meow", there was a meow from the tree.

"Hey, so it's you, a stray cat, who sent you away yesterday, and is annoying you again today, so get out of here." The man who opened the window said a few words, some cursed in a low voice, Close the window tightly again.

Qing Cheng thought: It's dangerous, fortunately I'm smart enough, otherwise I'd be discovered, scared, I've lived to be in my forties, and this is the first time I've learned how to meow, it's really embarrassing to say it.The man on the roof lay down for a while, then repeated the same trick, hanging under the eaves, this time he was relieved.Stretching out a hand, the index finger gently stuck some saliva on the mouth, then made a hole in the window paper, and brought his head closer.

Qing Cheng didn't know what he saw, and seemed a little anxious in his heart.

But he didn't know that when the night traveler put his eyes close together, he saw a very dazzling "treasure". The treasure was a white jade bottle with a dragon and a phoenix on its body. , which looks lifelike.The bottle was no more than one foot high, and it was placed upright on an Eight Immortals table in the house.There are three people at the table carefully admiring this treasure.

Of those three people, one is a middle-aged man with a square face, long eyes, and wearing a white robe. The person who opened the door was the middle-aged man in the white robe.
