Tong Lin, Zhang Ding, and Zhang Zimei went to Lotus Temple on Jade Peak to hire Nanxia Sima Kong, but they couldn't find him. Later, they went to West Lake Teahouse, but they still failed. What should they do after discussing it? No matter what, she had to see Nanxia today. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to explain herself when she went back. Later, the two of them discussed and followed the clues provided by the little old Taoist priest from the Lotus Temple on the Jade Summit. He couldn't find a place, and when he couldn't find a place, the sun turned west.
This time, they were ten miles away from the city. The two brothers were wandering back when they suddenly heard a rumble of thunder and it started raining again. They didn't bring anything to protect them from the rain. They rushed in the rain and saw a temple in front of them. The two of them went to the mountain gate to take shelter from the rain. The rain was really heavy, and there was smoke coming out of it. Wow…It seemed that half of Shi Qing's life was gone. Zhang Zimei looked back at the plaque on the temple. Shangyuan Temple. This place was quite secluded. The two of them sat on the platform of the temple. It was not clear no matter how they waited. They felt very annoyed. At this moment, Zhang Zimei still felt hungry and asked Tong Lin,""Brother, are you hungry?" "Hehe, to be honest, I haven't even eaten breakfast. Cough!" Tong Lin was also amused. I was busy looking for someone and didn't eat. Hey, hey, I got it. I might as well go into the temple! Let's see what food and wine there are. Let's eat some and give him more money before we leave.”In that era, most temples sold rice. Don't look at how he didn't put up a front. He prepared food and drink for all the customers who came and could earn double the money before leaving.
Zhang Zimei and Tong Lin had already made up their minds. They turned around and knocked on the door knocker. Before long, she heard someone talking inside."Who is it?" "Ah, it's me. Open the door.”The small door opened, and a young Taoist priest poked his head out from inside with an umbrella. He looked at Tong Lin and Zhang Zimei."Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate! Patrons, what's the matter?" "Little Daoist, look, it's raining heavily. We plan to use the treasure temple to take shelter from the rain and rest our legs. And ask for a meal. Don't worry, I'll give you more food before you leave." "Ah, alright then. Please come in." Just like that, he let the two of them in. The temple wasn't too big, but it wasn't small either. Turning around the first courtyard, he walked along the moon door to the second courtyard. The little old Taoist pushed open the door.”The two brothers entered the house. When they reached the house, the little old priest put down the umbrella, wiped the table, and adjusted the table and chairs."Please take a seat." The two brothers sat down and looked at the room. It was quite clean. There was a bed against the wall. There were a few ancient paintings hanging on the wall. There was a square table and armchairs on the floor. It looked like a guest room. At this moment, the little old Daoist wiped the table clean and brought a pot of water."Please have some tea. Ah, I'll go to the kitchen to see if there's anything to eat. Please wait a moment.”"Alright, alright. You can continue with your work." The little old Daoist left.
The two of them were drinking water while talking about Nanxia and Sima Kong. "Big Brother, do you think Nanxia Sima Kong will be able to mediate this matter if we invite him out?" Tong Lin asked.”"Almost. Brother, Lord Sima Kong is a man of prestige! Think about it, if he were to talk to the Northman Akita, and the Northman Akita dared to refute him, that would be equivalent to offending him. If the Southman and the Eastman became enemies, could he afford to be punished by the two of them? He has to weigh the pros and cons and agree." When Tong Lin heard this, he felt that it made sense. Why isn't this little old Daoist back yet? After waiting for a long time, he heard footsteps and the little old priest came in."Sorry to keep you waiting. I went to the kitchen to take a look just now. Aiya, there's nothing. I just went to the street to get some wine and also bought some vegetables for the two benefactors. Do you think you can just make do with this meal?”"Ah, it's good. As long as there's food, it's fine. Hurry up and prepare it.”"Sigh, sigh." The little old priest went out and took a square plate to carry the things in. Tong Lin took a look. There was a pot of wine, two wine glasses, two pairs of chopsticks, two plates, ten rolls, four duck eggs, and two plates of dried tofu. They were all vegetarian. Sigh, Haichuan looked at it and thought it was really good. These dishes were light. The little old priest quickly wiped the wine cup clean and filled Tong Lin's cup and Zhang Zian's cup. He put down the wine pot and stepped aside."Please enjoy your meal." When Tong Lin saw the food, his stomach rumbled with hunger. He wished he could swallow the whole thing. He reached out and picked up the wine cup, wanting to drink it. Who knew that Zhang Zimei would kick Tong Lin with this foot. Haichuan muttered and looked up at Brother Zhang. He saw Zhang Zimei's eyes turning left and right, telling him not to drink. Tong Lin was smart enough to put down the wine glass. Coincidentally, the little old man had gone out to deal with something and was not in the room. "Brother, what's going on?" Tong Lin asked.”"Brother, pay attention to this wine.”When Tong Lin heard this, what did this mean? He picked up the wine glass and looked at it carefully. Aiyo, he really saw through the problem! Firstly, the wine was muddy, and secondly, Tong Lin realized that the wine was a little twisted. If you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't be able to tell.
Haichuan knew that there was a kind of illegal shop that specialized in sleeping medicine and wine. He had heard from his teacher that it was similar to this. Could he? Shangyuan Temple was a place for monks to stay, not a thief's shop. How could they sell drugs and alcohol? Tong Lin was skeptical. Zhang Zimei said," Brother, anything can happen in life. You can't have the intention of harming others, but you can't be without the intention of guarding against others. See? I didn't expect this either. Just wait and see." The two of them were sitting there. Not long after, the little old man came in. He first poked his head into the room to take a look, then stood to the side with a smile. "Hey, Little Daoist, is the temple filled with incense?”"Patron, it's not good. Because we're ten miles away from Hangzhou, it's a remote place, and there aren't many people who burn incense.”"Oh, how many Taoist priests are there in total?”"Yes, seven people including me." "Who is it?" "Yes, my teacher and a few of my senior brothers. The rest is me.”"What's your teacher's name?" "My teacher's surname is Qiao." "Ah, Dao Master Qiao. In the temple?" "Yes, she's in the back room talking to a guest.”"Alright, alright! Come, come, little Taoist priest, since we have nothing to do, why don't you move a chair over and sit here? Let's have a drink or two together, how about that?”"Oh…No, no, no, I don't dare to drink it. This is the rule of our temple. How would I dare to drink with you? If my master finds out, he will definitely scold me.”"Sigh, wine and meat are inseparable. Besides, it's raining outside and we have nothing to do. Let's drink and talk. I respect monks the most and have many things I don't understand. Come, come, come…"
The young Taoist priest refused to drink, but Zhang Zimei insisted. She went over and pulled him over and placed him beside the table. "No, no, no. I can't drink it." This time, Zhang Zimei picked up the wine glass and poured it into his mouth, meaning that he had to drink it even if he didn't want to. Tong Lin thought to himself,'This is not good! Was there such a way to let go of alcohol? " No, no…" The young Taoist priest took a sip. After he finished drinking, he stood up and shook his head." This, this…I can't drink. You insist that I drink. If I drink…" Her eyes rolled back and she fell to the ground with a thud. When Tong Lin saw this, the Little Daoist's hands were scratching the ground, and white foam came out of the corner of his mouth.
"Brother, did you see that? Sweat, medicine, wine. It was definitely not a place for good people. It was a den of thieves. Follow me." Tong Lin forgot about his hunger. The two brothers left the house and walked back to look for the others. As he was walking forward, he bumped into an old Taoist priest. Before the old Taoist priest could figure out what was going on, Tong Lin and Zhang Zimei grabbed him and poked him under his armpit. They tripped him and wanted to shout, but they covered his mouth. They untied his belt and tied him up before throwing him into an empty room. As he walked further, he met two more and tied them up in the same way.
At this moment, they arrived at the backyard. Tong Lin was in front while Zhang Zimei was behind him. They lifted their legs high and landed their feet lightly. The rain continued to pour, and even the sound was covered by the sound of the rain. Tong Lin heard that someone was talking in the room. He waved at Zhang Zimei behind him, telling him that there was someone in the room. Then, Tong Haichuan turned to the back window and used the tip of his tongue to break the paper on the window lattice. He peered into the room. It was fine if he didn't look, but when Tong Lin saw it, he was surprised.?
Why was he shocked? There were three people sitting in the room, one Taoist and two laymen.
The old Taoist was tall, slender and tall. He was a long worm wearing a straw hat. He had a thin and tall top and looked like a skeleton. He had high cheekbones, sunken cheeks, deep eye sockets, a big chin, yellow scorched eyebrows, an aquiline nose, a thin mouth, and a pair of round eyes that flashed with ghost fire. He looked to be about sixty years old. He wore a willow crown on his head, a gray cloth Taoist robe, and a silk sash around his waist. He sat in the middle with an axe in his hand.
These two laymen were handsome figures in their twenties. One had a yellow face and the other had a red face. They were dressed in silk and carried a knife on their backs.
Who were these two? They were the treasure thieves, Han Bao and Wu Zhiguang, whom Tong Lin wanted to capture.
Tong Lin was troubled by this matter. The emperor wanted to solve the case within 100 days and ask the national treasure to return to the court. Now, it has been two months, and the news is empty. Wasn't Tong Lin anxious? He hadn't finished his official business yet, and he even came here to help his friend. Going to the Hangzhou Arena was just helping, and it had nothing to do with him. Tong Lin was so anxious that his mouth was full of bubbles. He thought that these two brats had long gone into seclusion with the national treasure. Tong Haichuan wanted to wait until the Hangzhou Arena was over to discuss with his big brother how to help capture these two brats. In other words, he was just wandering around Tong Lin. Therefore, when Tong Haichuan saw Han Bao and Wu Zhiguang, he was both happy and nervous. She was happy that there was hope, but she was nervous that they would run away.
Endorsements in books? Why did these two kids come to Hangzhou's Shangyuan Temple? Who was this old Daoist? According to the previous document, Han Bao and Wu Zhiguang tried to assassinate Tong Lin in Qinghe Oil Town and were defeated by Tong Lin. When Hai Chuan was about to catch them, the Baylor Prince chased after them. Tong Lin was afraid that these two thieves had hurt the Baylor Prince ruthlessly. He had wasted his time protecting the Baylor Prince and the two kids had escaped. After that, the two of them went to Hangzhou's Shangyuan Temple and sought refuge with this old Daoist.
This old Daoist was surnamed Qiao, called Qiao Xuanling, and had the nickname of Golden Hook Scorpion. Where was he from? Speaking of his roots, he was from Penglai Island, Jianshan, Sichuan. There was a rebel king in Sword Mountain called Fuchang Fubao Chen. He occupied Penglai Island and proclaimed himself king. He opposed the current emperor, recruited soldiers, bought horses, accumulated grass, and stored food. He built a recruitment tower and a recruitment pavilion to hire heroes from all over the world. He was very powerful! This Fu Chang even built a palace and established an official position. Under him, there was a military advisor, a marshal, a general standing in the palace, and twenty-eight patrols of the Five Tiger Generals. It was quite complete. This Qiao Xuanling Golden Hook Scorpion belonged to the Sword Mountain's Penglai Island's 28 patrols.
Qiao Xuanling's martial arts skills were not bad, but his character was not good. Among the eighty-one martial arts, he belonged to the lower third class of the lower five. Then how was this door divided? They were all thieves, but they were also divided into three, six, and nine grades. His special skill was to create incense and sleeping pills. This was what he specialized in. They specialized in making flower cakes, flower anthers, stealing children for money, kidnapping women, human trafficking, and raping women. The medicine he concocted could make a person mesmerized, unconscious, or kill you. He didn't rely on his true ability, so he belonged to the lower third class among the Lower Five Gates. Fu Chang took him in for no other reason. One was to strengthen his own strength, and the other was to make use of him. Although Sword Mountain and Penglai Island were powerful, they were nothing compared to the Qing Dynasty. They didn't have enough manpower and money. Now, Fu Chang was trying to expand his financial resources. Only with money could he do things. Therefore, he racked his brains to think of ways to earn money. The bad things that Qiao Xuanling created were a huge source of income. Fu Chang had appointed him to sell this incense drug. Isn't this a wicked game? There were many people who needed it. All the people who ran illegal shops and did bad things wanted to play with it. Qiao Xuanling was really good at this. Who would he sell it to on Sword Mountain? Therefore, he was ordered to leave Sword Mountain and Penglai Island to promote this medicine.
Two years ago, when Qiao Xuanling went to Yunnan's Bagua Mountain and met the Hunyuan Hero Li Kun and Li Taiji, he said," I will set up a shop here to promote my incense and knockout powder. I won't keep all the money I earn. I will pay 20:80 to the Bagua Mountain in Yunnan and 80:80 for my personal income so that I can send it back to Sword Mountain. He thought that Li Kun and Li Taiji would definitely agree. You can earn money from the land, but I can earn money from playing. Who knew that Li Kun and Li Taiji would glare at him and scold him loudly,""Qiao Xuanling, you've made a mistake! Isn't this money dirty? Isn't it wicked? Can I have it? If you give me 20 - 80, I won't take it even if you give it all to me! Hurry up and leave. You're not allowed to stay in Yunnan! If you sell incense and knockout drops under my care, I'll kill you!”Qiao Xuanling was driven out of Yunnan.
Aiya, this Demonic Priest had been rebuffed and was listless. When he left the Eight Trigrams Mountain, someone called out to him from behind,""Taoist priest, wait! Taoist priest, wait!" He turned around and saw Han Bao and Wu Zhiguang. He recognized them and said,""My two brothers, I came here for nothing. I was scolded by your master. What should I do?”The two of them said," We'll do it this way. Our Manor Master doesn't dare to do it, but we brothers dare to. Now, we'll go behind his back and find you a place to make money. However, you can't mistreat us if you earn money. Let's split the money!”"Alright! Just find me a place." Han Bao and Wu Zhiguang said," We can't find a place here. We have to find a place under the rule of the Eight Trigrams Mountain. If the Manor Master finds out, the three of us will lose our lives." Let's go further away. I'll introduce you to Hangzhou. There's a Shangyuan Taoist Temple outside the south gate of West Lake in Hangzhou. I have a friend in Shangyuan Taoist Temple. His surname is Li and his name is Li Ziming. He used to stay in Bagua Mountain. Because he broke the village rules, he was chased away by our manor lord. He's there now. Just look for Li Ziming and tell him that we sent him away. Don't worry, you'll have food, drink, and a place to stay. You'll earn a lot by selling your incense and sleeping pills and getting Li Ziming to help you!”
Han Bao and Wu Zhiguang wrote a recommendation letter and sent Qiao Xuanling to Hangzhou. Qiao Xuanling came here to see Li Ziming, who warmly welcomed him after reading the letter. The two of them worked together to do business. Later, for some reason, Li Ziming suddenly died. With his death, the temple belonged to him and Qiao Xuanling became the Abbey Dean. He had earned a lot of money from selling this medicine and had bribed the little old Taoist below, so no one pursued Li Ziming's death. There were different accounts of how the old Daoist died. Some said that he and Qiao Xuanling had fallen in love with the same woman at the same time, and because they were jealous, Qiao Xuanling killed him. Sigh, in short, he was dead.
As for Han Bao and Wu Zhiguang, they found out later that Qiao Xuanling had found a place to settle down. They kept in touch through letters. Alas, Qiao Xuanling earned money and sent people to Yunnan's Bagua Mountain to enter their pockets. They were very close. This time, Han Bao and Wu Zhiguang entered the palace at night to steal the emperor's national treasure, the jade mandarin duck bracelet. If our manor lord, Hunyuan Man, finds out about this, he'll definitely beat us to death. If you say that you won't return to the Eight Trigrams Mountain, Tong Lin will still go around capturing us. Where can we stay? The two of them were also troubled. Later, they thought of going to Shangyuan Temple to look for Qiao Xuanling. That was how the two of them came about.
When he saw Qiao Xuanling, he welcomed him warmly. This was called human language, beast language, birds of a feather flock together, these three people's temperaments were really similar. "Do this," said Qiao Xuanling,"and you will live in this temple. This place is the safest place. If you want money, you have money. If you want things, we have things. What are you afraid of? Who knew you were staying here? This place was quiet again. Wait here, when we reach the hundred Heavenly Tong Lin and can't do this, the emperor will kill him in anger, and we'll be able to vent our anger!”Han Bao and Wu Zhiguang thought about it and decided to settle down here.
Who knew that there would be no story without coincidence? Enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road, and coincidentally, the Hangzhou arena was set up. Tong Lin and the other swordsmen also came. It was such a coincidence that the rain had driven Zhang Zimei and Tong Lin to Shangyuan Temple.
The little old Taoist let the two of them pass through the courtyard and did not dare to hide anything. He went inside and told Qiao Xuanling that two people had come to shelter from the rain and wanted to eat something. This didn't catch their attention, so Qiao Xuanling casually asked,"What kind of person?" "Yes, one is old and the other is middle-aged. The older one was quite pretty and wore an iron fan. The middle-aged man was a farmer. He had a slightly purple face and looked like an old man. When he spoke, he seemed to be from Hebei and Beijing.”Qiao Xuanling didn't think much of it. Han Bao and Wu Zhiguang were shocked when they heard that. Isn't this Tong Lin? So, he looks just like Tong Haichuan. Does he know that we're staying here? She looked panicked. When Qiao Xuanling asked what was going on, Han Bao and Wu Zhiguang answered. Qiao Xuanling said," You two don't have to be surprised. He definitely doesn't know you're here. Perhaps he came here to take shelter from the rain. If that's really the case, he deserves to be avenged by you two." If I use a little trick, these two people will die without a burial place.”Han Bao and Wu Zhiguang nodded.
Why was it that the little old Taoist priest did not go back for a long time, and after a long time, this benevolent person secretly looked into the house from the window behind the courtyard? After confirming that it was Tong Lin and Zhang Zimei, the three of them returned. Han Bao and Wu Zhiguang said,"Look, that old man is Tong Lin. That's our enemy.”"Yes, that's easy."”Take out the small gourd and take out the sleeping medicine wine. Tell the little old priest to sprinkle it into the wine for the two of them to drink. No matter how capable they are, they will lose consciousness. Wait for them to fall down and come back to deliver the letter. Then, we will think of a way to deal with them.
Tong Lin was careless and didn't expect Zhang Zimei to be so meticulous and see through the drug. At this time, the three of them were listening to the news in the house. They were waiting for the little old Taoist priest to bring them the good news. Then, they would rush to the front yard to deal with Tong Lin and Zhang Zimei. Who would have thought that things would turn around? Before he could deal with them, Tong Lin and Zhang Zimei arrived!
