Chapter 219 Hunting
This is a group of very ordinary monks. The Maitreya sect does not have very special costumes, so it is difficult to distinguish them. Buddhism is in decline in this world, but it is not that it has never existed. It is not unusual to see monks.
But near Langya and Taishan, since the Wang family originally carried out Xia Longyuan's plan to exterminate Buddhism, and the Taiyi Sect of Taishan was a Taoist sect, there were two local overlords here, so there really weren't many Buddhists nearby.
Will the Maitreya envoys be these monks?
"Normally, this is not the sphere of influence of the Maitreya Sect. They wouldn't be so arrogant, right? Why not cover up whatever they want?" Situ Xiao lowered his voice: "Or do they think that when they get to Langya, they have to show their true colors to show their sincerity? Are they so pedantic?"
Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "This is simple."
He drank all the wine in the bowl in one gulp and sprinkled some more on himself. He was drunk and staggered out of the door.
Situ smiled and twitched the corner of his mouth. This template was his favorite and he learned it face to face...
Speaking of which, the drunken step imitated by Zhao Changhe is a bit interesting... Although I haven’t learned the footwork system, I have already touched its spirit. Most people would think that Zuibu is messy and unorganized, but in fact it is very organized and extremely stable. This Zhao Changhe has already learned a little bit...
However, Zhao Changhe stumbled two steps and fell right behind the monk at the end of the team.
Seeing that they were about to collide, the monk frowned and looked back, reaching out to support him: "Donor, be careful..."
With just this move, Situ Xiao felt that it was not from the Maitreya Cult. This move was quite solid and heavy, like a warrior monk who had been practicing since childhood, and it was not the same as the Maitreya Cult.
Zhao Changhe felt the same way. He refused to give up and pretended to be drunk and unable to hold him up. He continued to fall into the monk's arms while brushing his fingers on the acupuncture points on the monk's arms.
The monk's arm supporting him shook slightly to avoid the finger, and the other hand quickly stretched out and put it on Zhao Changhe's shoulder: "Could the donor's drunken steps be Situ Xiao? Our Huayan Temple has never offended the Shenhuang Sect."
Situ smiled: “…”
Zhao Changhe was not embarrassed at all. He was "drunk" anyway. He pretended not to understand what he was talking about and staggered to the side: "There is wine in life~you must be drunk. How can a drop of it reach Jiuquan..."
Situ smiled: "Grass."
The monk who was supporting Zhao Changhe suddenly heard Zhao Changhe's message: "Master, be careful of sneak attacks."
The monk was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly, and sent a message back: "Thank you, donor, for reminding me."
Zhao Changhe stumbled back to the hotel. The monks continued to move forward and soon arrived at the door of the Wang family. They said to the guard: "Amitabha, Huayan Temple Yuanxing is visiting. Please inform Mr. Daozhong of the Wang family. I had a meeting with Mr. Daozhong three years ago. "
It seems that serious Buddhists have also come to contact the Wang family. After all, Xia Longyuan banned Buddhism...
It can be said that Langya wind is blowing and clouds are moving in all directions.
Zhao Changhe smiled at the expressionless Situ and said, "Brother Situ is indeed famous far and wide..."
Situ Xiao said angrily: "You have admitted the wrong person, which means that your move of squatting here as an envoy of the Maitreya Sect may seem feasible, but in fact it is taken for granted. You don't know if they can change their clothes and sneak into Wang's house casually, let alone even if you are really asked to stop them. I’m here, maybe he’s a strong person, or he’s bringing a lot of people, have you considered it?”
Zhao Changhe looked at the scene where the Wang family guards came in to report, and answered the question: "It's just the Four Symbols Sect, it's a dispute over different doctrines. This time serious Buddhism is here, what's the matter with the Maitreya Sect? I'm Maitreya. It’s okay if the messenger doesn’t come at this time. Once he comes, he will take action to destroy the contact between the Wang family and Buddhism, following Ban Chao’s actions.”
Before he finished speaking, the sound of bowstrings sounded loudly on the left and right eaves of Wang's house, and arrows rained down like locusts, heading straight towards the waiting monks of Huayan Temple.
The bow is a strong military bow, and the people are well-trained. If the monks from Huayan Temple over there are not prepared, they may be killed or injured in this round.
Fortunately, Zhao Changhe reminded the monks that they were on guard. Suddenly, a golden bell appeared, and thousands of arrows jingled for a while, but none of them could break through the golden bell's protection.
Zhao Changhe took a breath: "This golden bell is more powerful than yours. It can actually protect you in a wide range!"
Situ Xiao said lightly: "Similar to the principle of the air wall I told you before, a momentary defense cannot last long. In fact, it is a kind of air wall..."
Sure enough, the golden bell disappeared, and the monks quickly formed a formation. Wan Xing said angrily: "I know the royal family's gift! Let's go!"
The report from the Wang family has not yet reached the inside. The guards were at a loss for a moment and watched helplessly as the monks formed formations and retreated. They quickly evacuated the long street and exited the city.
Anyone in a circular position would feel that the Wang family had already contacted their opponents and made a choice. If we don't leave, everyone will really have to confess here.
Situ Xiao finally understood what Zhao Changhe meant by "following Ban Chao's actions", and his eyes changed when he looked at Zhao Changhe.
It can be said that the messenger of Maitreya is a person! But Zhao Changhe, who could even predict this, is even more of a monster. How did you guess this?
It's strange, Chi Chi has left, why is Suzaku still here?
But I saw a housekeeper from the Wang family running out in a hurry: "Master Yuanxing! Master Yuanxing! The second master invites you to come in..."
Your voice is stuck in your throat. There is no one outside the door. Where is the monk?
The empty ground is full of arrows, testifying that there has been an accident.
A figure in gray clothes suddenly appeared in front of the door and said calmly: "Maitreya teaches Dharma Qing, please see Mr. Dao Ning, the head of the Wang family."
Faqing, seventy on the list.
Sure enough, Situ Xiao was right, and he really made the personal rankings.
Not only the list of people, but also a bunch of well-trained archers... Although most of the archers can't take action at this moment, otherwise it will become a provocation to the Wang family, but if someone assassinates Fa Qing, the archers can still transform into warriors.
Situ Xiao was a little curious at this moment, how Zhao Changhe planned to take advantage of the fire in this situation.
He even suspected that Wang Daoning should not be unaware of what happened in front of the door, otherwise the tenth place on the rankings would be too low... Wang Daoning was probably standing somewhere watching the changes in front of the door with cold eyes. He was also doing something Test and filter.
Does Zhao Changhe still dare to move?
Zhao Changhe was stunned at the door of the inn for a while, as if he was secretly communicating with someone. In the end, he looked bitter, as if the communication failed.
“Isn’t your Four Symbols Sect at odds with the Maitreya Sect? Some time ago, you killed someone from Jiangbei Buddha. The Dharma Festival is here, why don’t you kill him and sacrifice it to heaven?”
"Disharmony does not mean sworn enemies. The delay in killing Jiangbei Buddha is because they crossed the border first and violated our interests. It does not mean that I will kill every Maitreya believer I see. After all, they are all against the imperial court. Who knows if they will in the future Is there room for reconciliation and cooperation? Do you want to use me to please your Tang Wanzhuang? Do you think I am a fool?"
“The Maitreya Cult is fighting with you for the royal alliance.”
“The directions are different, so the conflict is not big. It’s not as big as the conflict between roundness and them, that’s really big.”
Zhao Changhe sighed: "Then I have to do it myself."
Suzaku watched from a distance with interest, and she also wanted to know what else this guy could do.
But Zhao Changhe suddenly jumped onto the roof and ran straight to the direction where the arrow had just been shot.
There is a group of Maitreya believers gathered over there, waiting to see whether the Faqing at the gate of Wang's house will be received. When he turned around, he saw a big man holding a broad knife and rushing towards him like a tiger entering a herd of sheep.
The mad sword rises suddenly, and the wind blows into the clouds.
Before the nearest Maitreya cultist had time to react, his head flew up and blood splattered.
“It’s Zhao Changhe! Form a formation quickly!” A group of Maitreya believers were in a panic and tried to form a formation to defend themselves. However, the broad sword was swung like a windmill, so there was no point in forming an formation!
With a "swish" sound, a knife swung across his body, and a Maitreya cultist was cut into two pieces with the knife.
Fa Qing's body flashed over there, and he struck Zhao Changhe in the back with a gloomy look: "I don't want to cause trouble, but you came to die first, so just stay!"
“Whoosh!” A Zen staff came from far and near, reaching straight for Faqing’s head!
The biggest mistake Fa Qing made was that he thought that Wan Xing had been deceived into evacuating. In fact, the monk had not been deceived at all and had not left at all. When Fa Qing arrived at the gate of Wang's house, Yuan Xing had quietly led the crowd around and surrounded the Maitreya believers.
“Swish, swish!” A group of monks appeared on the roof and rushed towards the battle formation.
Faqing slapped away Wanxing's Zen staff with a cold expression: "You are not on the list of people, so what will happen if you turn back? I will send you back to the west together!"
Before he could finish his words, the sound of wind started up again behind him.
A heavy sword seemed to be slow but also urgent, and it was slashing straight at him.
Situ smiled.
All of a sudden, it became a list of hunters... It's not a matter of roundness. After all, the Nine Levels of the Mysterious Entrance are also figures lingering on the edge of the list. Situ Xiao and Zhao Changhe are really called newborn calves not afraid of tigers. How can they get the courage... Can it be done with strength?
The corner of Suzaku's lips in the distance raised an interesting smile, and she also wanted to know.
