Bashan Secret Report

Some time ago, Li Zixiang received a message from a flying pigeon. He knew that Li Dongping had recovered the "Beggars' Sect" in the Central Plains. He asked him to help the Taoist Shunzhu and Xu Fu who came to investigate the "Demon Sect". Li Zixiang acted cautiously and kept the matter secret. He only secretly visited the streets of Bazhong in person.

After meeting Taoist Shunzhu and other four people and asking about Leader Li, they were very happy and quickly told them about their situation. Taoist Shunzhu naturally understood his difficulties, and only asked him to arrange a secret stronghold for them to introduce the relevant information. If there was anything, they could send a trusted person to contact secretly, and never involved him in it.

After hearing this, Li Zixiang was very happy and said repeatedly, "Excuse me, senior!"

Taoist Shunzhu said: "It's best if you can provide some information, and you don't care about anything else. If the 'Demon Sect' finds out that you are against it, let alone against you, I can't act smoothly. It's really good for all!"

Li Zixiang said: "The more secretive you are in Bazhong, the better. Their eyeliner are everywhere here. The 'Buddha Temple' where you were yesterday is a stronghold in Bazhong. It is loose outside and tight inside. There is a darkroom inside that connects with the outside world. The outside world does not contact with the outside world. Although the old monk is also one of them, he does not participate in their affairs. It is just an ordinary temple wish. However, do not go there again to avoid suspicion."

The secret stronghold of Taoist Shunzhu is located under an abandoned pagoda, surrounded by a wilderness of bricks, rubble and weeds. There is an underground secret room in it, which is very spacious. The bed furniture is complete, and it is more than enough for four people. Taoist Shunzhu made a tour around the place. This place is very private and convenient, so he nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you for your kind arrangement. It's really wonderful!" Taoist Shunzhu nodded repeatedly.

Li Zixiang smiled modestly, "You are distinguished guests from afar. If it is not for the eradication of the 'Demon Cult', it is rare to send invitations to invite you here. Just tell me what you need."

Then, he told four people his contact information, and then stood up to say goodbye. The four people hid in the secret room for a meal and sat down to discuss the next plan. Xu Fu said: "Judging from the situation introduced by Leader Li, the prevention of 'Chishiling' is not as tight as we thought!"

"The 'Demon Cult' seems to have a high opinion of itself, thinking that no one dares to pluck hair from the tiger's mouth. We might as well try it carefully," said Taoist Shunzhu.

"Your words are reasonable!" Xu Fuxin said, "I was late to think about penetrating his interior. Today, I heard that Leader Li said that instead of trying so hard to penetrate the interior, it would be better to go over the hill and go in to spy from their sentry post."

"Good is good," said Zhai Yuxuan, "only in this way, we can only succeed but not fail. Once we find it, we will be blocked by ourselves."

Xu Fu nodded, thought for a moment, and then said to Taoist Shunzhu, "With the martial arts of the elders, it is not difficult to go deep into the hinterland to spy on their defense and real strength. Besides the sect leader and the four Dharma protectors, whether there are any unseen supernatural experts in the 'Demon Sect'. This is the most important thing we need to know."

"I think so, too. TianQiu once told me about this matter, and he was most worried about the hidden experts. The 'Demon Sect' dares to be so rampant in the Jianghu Wulin, so it should be fearless. Just the sect leader and Dharma protector, no matter how high the martial arts are!"

"Do you have any premonitions, senior?" said Chuehyuxuan

"No!" Shun Zhu said humanely, "I just don't know if Feiyun and Yellow Crane are still alive. If they are alive, there must be some earth-shaking killings. Maybe we should invite Zen Master Guangyuan, your mentor, out of the mountain. If these two demons are dead, it's not enough to worry."

"Let's explore the truth first," said Chop Yuxuan.

The four people discussed until late at night, and agreed that Taoist Shunzhu would take his brother to "Chishiling" to spy first

The next afternoon, the three people left Bazhong and went straight to the back mountain of "Chishiling". When night fell, it was already on the top of the mountain.

The sentry house on the top of the mountain is a treasure shaped house with a sharp roof built of stone. The house is not too high, and it is only 12 feet high from the top to the ground.

The Taoist Shunzhu flew up to the house. The roof was round and pointed, and the whole was tapered. The top was as smooth as a mirror, about 20 meters high. A move along the bamboo, "the dragon comes out of the water", gently falls on the top, and the top is like a hat covering the top. The edge of the hat extends slightly downward, and there is a distance of feet in the middle, which is convenient for people inside to observe the four directions. Taoist Shunzhu hooked his feet on the top, looked down and saw that there were four people drinking smouldering wine. They had all the beds and chairs, and there was no change. He quickly jumped down and said, "The voice of ants", and greeted the brothers.

"It's all right here, go down!"

The three people rushed to the foot of the mountain. In front of them was a stone wall, about two feet high. Three people dodged inside. Here is the back garden, with many flowers and plants. In front of the garden is a row of stone houses, in which all the people of the "Demon Sect" live. Three people are close to each other, and there are more than ten people living in each row of rooms, sleeping or playing cards. There are also rows of houses over there. There is a road in the middle that separates the houses and the garden into two gardens. They walked along the main road, borrowing and hiding things, through the flowers, which was more than half a mile away, and saw two teams of soldiers patrolling in the middle; All the way to meet them, all the way from left to right on the path across the road, each team. The end of the road has reached the wall. They found that the wall has also disappeared to the mountain. This is actually a steep cliff.

The steep wall faces the main road with an arched hole, and two huge stone gates are tight. After about half an hour, the gate opened, and four black warriors came out of it, holding spears, and went straight ahead.

Taoist Shunzhu is very strange. The weather in the southwest is gray in the daytime, let alone at night. There is no light. It is dark and quiet everywhere. It is dark and lifeless. Even the pedestrian's footsteps are very small. If it is not easy to be found, others are not easy to be found by them, but it only adds a bit of gloomy and frightening atmosphere. Maybe this is their psychological tactics to defend against the enemy.

Just think, if there is no such excellent martial arts and courageous experts as them, who dare to take risks easily. This closed and dreary breath has long made people lose their soul, and then they cringe. How can they distinguish between east, west, north and south. There are some unexpected tricks in the "Demon Sect", which are unexpected to ordinary people.

Taoist Shunzhu then greeted Brother Chop with "ant voice" and said, "Be careful not to hide until I go into the hole alone to explore the truth." After that, his figure flashed, and he was already inside the door.

At this time, the two stone doors slowly closed again. As soon as Taoist Shunzhu entered the door, he only felt the gloomy wind. I'm afraid the atmosphere was more terrible than outside. The two compartments are dimly lit with fireflies, which are the jewel light in the inlaid wall. It is difficult to be invisible when it shines on the wide corridor.

There are steps in front of the corridor. Taoist Shunzhu first picks up steps from the steps, and there is a platform above. Through the platform, there are numerous Panshi alleys. The end of each lane leads to the door of a room. Although it is dark outside, the room is spacious and bright inside. Taoist Shunzhu didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to use the method of "shrinking the bones and stretching the tendons" to hide in the dark corner and peep into the room.

But when I saw that these houses were empty, only the right room heard voices. Taoist Shunzhu listened attentively, and someone said:

"The leader seldom goes out. Why hasn't he come back after so many days?"

Another man said, "Dharmapala Rong, I think that Luo Tianqiu has not arrived there, or that Luo Tianqiu has died, and the leader is working hard to clean up the mess."

"Nonsense! If Luo Tianchou was so easy to kill, I wouldn't have lost so badly! I am not willing to lose the reputation of Taoist Chunfeng in the hands of this suckling baby!"

"Don't worry about it. The leader will revenge for your old man. It's important for you to recuperate..."

"Hum, what else do you want to talk about? If the leader avenges me, it will be a good thing. But I'm afraid I will be put into prison from now on. It's no longer a Dharma protector!" said the Taoist dejectedly.

"The Dharma Protector is too considerate. The leader of the sect is kind-hearted to your old man and will never be so ruthless. The great event of my teaching is over. It is the time of employing people. How can the Dharma Protector say this!"

The Taoist smiled and said, "You are right. I'm afraid it's not easy to get revenge. Luo Tianqiu's skill is not lower than that of the sect leader, even a little higher."

"Immortal, did you ever think that this time the leader of the sect came out on the basis of the 'return of thousands of streams to one great law'. With the assistance of two adults, Wan and Dong, and with the help of Hall Leader Jin, the four people worked together, even if Luo Tianqiu had great skills, he could not escape the bad luck!"

Hearing this, Taoist Shunzhu was shocked and thought: "Qiu Er, what should I do?" He was at a loss for a moment.

After all, he is an expert in the world. He knows that he is in a dangerous place. First inquire about the situation here, then go back to reason, then settle down and listen to the Spring Dharma Protector talking in the room, saying: "I'm afraid I don't have three or five months to recover from this skill..."

Taoist Shunzhu no longer listened. He returned from the original road, and the lower class turned to the left. The lane on the left was much narrower than the entrance corridor, and there were many twists and turns. There were rooms everywhere. He counted secretly, and there were more than ten rooms, much smaller than the houses above.

I thought that the house above was probably the bedroom of the four Dharma protectors of the "Demon Sect", and the people in it seemed that the spacious room was the kitchen. Turn around the kitchen and go forward. After a long zigzag walk, a jade door blocks the way. A large gem is embedded in the door, which is radiant. There are three big characters under the gem: "Shengong Hall". The characters are stone, and the following words are written: "Without the order of the leader, those who enter this door will die!"

Taoist Shunzhu pondered for a moment. He pushed the stone door with his hand, but it didn't move. He groped around with both hands, but could not find any mechanism. He turned around and looked around. There were two places where he was extremely invisible. The door was closed, and he quickly leaned back against the top of the door. There was about half a cup of tea. Four people turned out from the left side of the deep hole corridor and walked to the door. Press a gem, and the huge stone door immediately separated from both sides. The four people walked out of the door, followed the four people, and the huge stone door slowly closed again. At that moment when he was about to close, the figure of Taoist Shunzhu shook, and the figure disappeared. His body had already reached the door. He hurriedly greeted the brothers, walked from the side of the cave to the junction of the wall, and jumped onto the wall.

It was past midnight when the three returned to their residence, and Xu Fu sat cross-legged in the hidden waste rock room in front of the secret room. Seeing the three of them turned back safely, they stood up happily, and repeatedly asked, "What's the matter with the senior?"

Taoist Shunzhu sighed deeply: "The situation has been roughly found out, but Qiu Er may be dangerous!"

Xu Fu listened with joy and sorrow. He was glad that he had found out the situation of "Chishiling" overnight. He was worried that Great Xia Luo might be in trouble. He said hastily, "Why do you say that?"

Taoist Shunzhu told the three people in detail about the situation in the Devil Cave and Taoist Chunfeng's words. Don't listen. The three people were all in a hurry when they heard what he said. They didn't know what to do for a moment.

Chopping the rain pavilion said, "Can't Great Xia Luo deal with them?" Taoist Shunzhu looked at him with a bitter smile.

"Buddha of Infinite Life! Little friend, how do you know that this' great law of the return of thousands of streams' is passed down by people in the western region. I heard my master say that 'great law of the return of thousands of streams' can combine the power of several people in one person. You think Kunsatai, the leader of the' Demon Sect ', is the only successor of the Flying Cloud monk and the Yellow Crane monk. The Second Demon Head once caused a bloody disaster in the Wulin. Few people can defeat it. How many Wulin experts died under their hands, Kunsatai We can imagine the high level of their martial arts. In recent years, it has been said that his internal skill 'Wanxuesha Skill' has nine levels of power, which is almost the same as that of Qiu Er. With the help of the second Dharma Protector and the first Hall Leader, it is a combination of four people's power. Even if Qiu Er has the power to return to heaven, it is useless. In addition, they are afraid to make a surprise attack again, which is even more dangerous. "

Xu Fu nodded heavily and said gloomily, "If Great Xia Luo loses, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Chopping Rain Pavilion was really straight tempered, but he didn't think so. He just listened to the loud voice and said, "Why do you worry so much, elder generation? It is said that lucky people have their own nature. Great Xia Luo may not be able to survive in desperate times!"

Shun Zhuren put his hands together and said, "Infinite Buddha! I hope you are right. We can only think so!"

At this time, the night was almost over, and the four people went back to their beds to rest. Xu Fu sat on the waste stone for several hours and fell asleep. When I woke up, it was already noon. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the brothers had got up. Taoist Shunzhu was not in the room, and only when he asked, did he know that he was out looking for Helmsman Li for information. Xu Fu knew that he could not rest assured of Luo Tianqiu's affairs, and his heart was immediately heavy.

In the next few days, the three people went to "Chishiling" several times in succession, found out where they practiced martial arts, and knew that there was a monk from the Western Regions, who they called "Suda Holy Monk", who was teaching several hall leaders to practice the "Ten Thousand Flows to One". This Western Region monk seems to have had a friendship with the Feiyun monk and the Yellow Crane monk, and once saved his life. It is to repay his kindness with gratitude. He came to the "Demon Cult" to teach them the "Great Law of Return to One".

Every time Taoist Shunzhu goes to "Chishiling", he comes and goes for only one or two hours, which is far longer than the first reconnaissance. And he is silent and unhappy. This situation has cast a shadow on other people's minds

Fortunately, Helmsman Li finally got reliable information that Luo Tianqiu was in the "Soul Breaking Cliff" and had a fierce battle with Kunsatai and others. Both sides had losses. Luo Tianqiu also suffered a slight injury, but it was not serious.

The four people were delighted. Taoist Shunzhu put his hands together and proclaimed the name of Buddha, "Buddha of Infinite Life! Yuxuan is right!"

After that, every time I went to "Chishiling" for several days, I came back after midnight. Taoist Shunzhu tried his best to figure out the truth of the incident. In the battle of "Soul-breaking Cliff", Kunsatai and his disciples were almost scared out of their wits. They felt that the end of the day was coming and stepped up to practice martial arts in closed doors.

It was a coincidence of fate. That night, when Kunsatai's confidant kidnapped dozens of ordinary people from outside, tied them with ropes and blindfolded them, and led them into the "Shengong Hall" with ropes. Taoist Shunzhu followed them secretly. After passing a section of roadway, there is a delicate bedroom at the end. After passing this room, there was a large room like a living room. When these people entered the room, their rope masks were removed, and the table inside was full of tea and Dim sum, which they could eat.

Taoist Shunzhu didn't have time to take a closer look and went on. There is another big room in front. It looks like the furnace door of the winery.

Two people shoveled a piece of black stone with a square of two feet into the furnace with a long shovel, and the black stone immediately burned.

Taoist Shunzhu has a wide range of knowledge and knows that this is an oilstone produced in the mountains in the southwest, which can burn for a long time. The local people use this stone to cook vegetables, or to burn kilns, which is very convenient and easy to use.

The Taoist priest turned to the door of the house and peered in from the small hole in the other side of the secret door. There was a huge stone plate in the house, which could hold ten people to bathe in. At this time, only one person sat cross-legged in the boiling water. The water flooded his shoulders and closed his eyes. At one moment, there was a wooden board slowly close to the man sitting on his rib knee. On the board lay a naked man. The four corners of the board were hung by ropes on two beams in the room. The other rope controlled the suspended board to move slowly to the man. The man didn't open his eyes. He just grabbed the man lying on the wooden counter with both hands. The man lying on the counter had already controlled the acupoints and let him do it without reaction. The man twisted the head and neck of the man lying on the board, bent his head and sucked the blood gushing out of the broken neck with his mouth. After sucking up the blood, he sat back as if nothing had happened. His eyes were closed from beginning to end, and his action was rigid like a robot

Shunzhu's blood is swollen, and he wants to do it. After all, he has a high concentration and doesn't even breathe

"Maybe Kunsatai is practicing the 'Wanxuesha Skill'?" said Chopping Rain Pavilion.

"Wuliang Buddha! This man with a human face and an animal heart is actually sucking human blood to practice martial arts! No wonder my teacher once told me that the internal skill of 'Wanxue Sha Skill' is extremely evil and harmful. It's really chilling to see it today!"

Chopping Yuxuan said angrily, "If you catch this thief in the future, you must cut him to pieces!"

Taoist Shunzhu said in a deep voice, "It is said that the 'Wanxuesha Skill' skill can be mixed with blood red and evil. Today, I see Kunsatai's face and hands are red, and he may have reached the highest level of twelve levels of skill. It is difficult for a first-class Wulin master to walk through ten moves under his hand. I wonder if Qiu Er can handle it!"

Yuxuan said, "Don't be upset, elder. Great Xia Luo has met him twice at the 'Soul-breaking Cliff', and they have their own way to control him. Kunsatai and they are so afraid of Great Xia Luo, so it can be seen that Great Xia Luo can cure this demon!"

"The elder brother's words are reasonable. Don't worry about them. They are from the 'Soul Breaking Cliff'. With the four of them working together, they can't win against the Great Xia Luo. The Kun thief is a great achievement of the 'Blood Evil Skill'. It's not enough to worry about it. I just don't know the 'Ten Thousand Flows Return to One Great Skill'. Can you break it?"

"No!" muttered the Taoist priest.

Chopping the rain pavilion said, "Why don't we take the 'Suda holy monk' to the 'Danxin Stronghold', and the 'ten thousand flows to one great law' will be defeated without fighting!"

Taoist Shunzhu smiled, "Little friends also underestimate the 'Demon Cult' too much. Do you know how much effort I spent in entering the Devil Cave, and just found out about them. Not only did I put all my efforts into practice, but I also couldn't guarantee that there was no defect. This is because they tried their best to take revenge on Fu Er, and the fight against the lax 'Broken Soul Cliff' in the family was somewhat disheartened, and I didn't expect anyone to take risks in his hinterland. The chance of luck is not lost It is more difficult to capture the Western Region monk alive than to climb to the sky. When there was a slight movement, he closed the stone door tightly, and there were many mechanisms inside. Even if there were peerless magic skills, how could he get him! Little friends should not think of doing nothing. " Can we poison the monk? "Yuxuan said hesitantly, but he was stopped by the Taoist priest!

"No! Any change will make them alert. Once the mechanism is activated, it is difficult to get out of the way. I'm sorry to say that any idea of winning by shortcut is a dream. Listen to me, two children. Don't be paranoid!"

Xu Fu said, "Let's go back to 'Danxin Stronghold' and make a theory again!"

The next day, the four people left the abandoned secret room, hurried to meet Leader Li, and left Bazhong in the dark.

Although the four people had no record in the war, they detected the inside information of the 'Demon Cult' headquarters, and they were unharmed and didn't even disturb the enemy. It was a miracle. This achievement has been extraordinary. Although some things upset Shunzhu Taoist priest. The other three people were full of joy, and looked very hesitant.

They talked and laughed all the way, and Shunzhu Taoist priest was also very moved. They thought that this time they would wipe out the "Demon Cult". There would be many experts from all sides, and there would be many talented people and different people. There must be a way to meet them. Why bother me alone? Isn't it a lot of things? I feel at ease to think so, and then I will calm down and drink with the three people.

On this day, four people came to a small town called "Dujiang Town" under the Taibai Mountain in Chengdu. Although there were only a hundred or so families, it was also bustling.

The four people wanted to find an inn to live in. Taoist Shunzhu suddenly said in a deep voice, "There is a Yunshan Temple on a hill not far from here. The old monk in the temple had a friendship with the old Taoist priest. The old Taoist wants to meet him. How about that?"

Xu Fu immediately agreed with the Taoist priest that several people would meet him at the "Yunshan Temple" tomorrow. The Taoist priest said goodbye to the three and went straight to "Yunshan Temple".

"Yunshan Temple" is a grand temple with dozens of monks. The abbot, Monk Yunwu, was very happy to see Taoist Shunzhu. The two people talked and laughed, and quickly received the meditation room.

Yunwu Heshang was originally a layman disciple of the "Shaolin Temple". He left the "Youth Temple" in his early years and went to the "Yunshan Temple" to become a monk after several setbacks. More than ten years ago, Taoist Shunzhu often stayed in the temple. The two talked about scriptures and martial arts. After staying for more than a month, the "Magic Cloud Sword Technique" of Monk Yunwu was handed down by Shaolin, and Shunzhu's "Huashan Sword Technique" was famous in the world. The two people talked about the key to sword technique. When they were happy, they had to duel. It was very happy.

But in recent years, the abbot of Yunshan Temple has passed away. Since his succession to the abbot of the temple, he has devoted himself to studying the Buddhist scriptures and managing the affairs in the temple. He has explored the martial arts without flaw, only as a way of fitness. He rarely holds a sword when he rises in the morning. Now, Shunzhu is here, but he just talks about the scriptures. In spite of this, the two people talked speculatively and stayed awake all night.

[Note: Miao Zhu, the person in charge of incense in the temple.]
