Chapter 8
That afternoon, Cao Xuan and Zhang Chong packed up and bid farewell to Abbot Zhi Tong before rushing down the mountain.
"Martial Uncle, we…we're leaving?”
Walking on the small stone road, Zhang Chong clenched his teeth and reluctantly turned his head to look at the mountain gate as he softly said.
"All good things must come to an end. We're just passersby of Shaolin Temple after all. Don't think too much. Come back and take a look when you have time in the future.”It was rare that Cao Xuan did not bully Zhang Chong. Instead, he patted his shoulder and comforted him.
In fact, Cao Xuan was also a little reluctant.
After all, he had been here for five years, and all the skills he had now were learned in Shaolin.
However, just as he said, they were just passersby of Shaolin Temple. Their bodies and minds did not belong here.
Dong dong dong ~!
All of a sudden, a crisp and melodious bell rang.
It was leisurely and gentle, but it also carried a trace of sorrow, as if it shook the soul.
"Martial Uncle, look!"
Zhang Chong suddenly pointed behind him and pulled Cao Xuan's arm as he said in surprise.
Hearing this, Cao Xuan turned around.
They happened to see that behind them, under the memorial archway carved with the words Shaolin.
Rows of monks stood neatly, led by Zhi Tong. They put their palms together and were chanting a mysterious Buddhist hymn in a low voice.
Not only that, beside the monks.
There were also many young nuns standing there. They pursed their lips and frowned as they looked at Cao Xuan. Their eyes were red.
It was filled with reluctance and nostalgia.
For the past five years!
Cao Xuan and Zhang Chong were the people that almost everyone in Shaolin Temple and the nunnery didn't want to see the most. This was because they were the most playful and mischievous.
Eating meat and drinking wine, teasing a little nun, peeping at a little nun bathing, teasing a little monk, and so on.
It could be said that he was the most feared and helpless person here.
However, they still came out to send him off, and it was the highest farewell ceremony of Buddhism.
"Uncle-Master…isn't this Little Stone Path? Why is there still dust floating here?”
Zhang Chong quietly turned his face to the side and wiped the corners of his eyes." The dust has even gotten into my eyes. It's all those young monks 'fault. Why didn't they clean up the stone path?"”
In fact!
The small stone path was clean all year round, and there was no wind at this time, so there was naturally no dust floating around.
Cao Xuan did not expose Zhang Chong's foolish lie.
He pulled Zhang Chong and slowly turned around to face the monks and nuns.
"I come from the horizon,
I return to the horizon,
The Dharma has entered my heart,
From this day on, we pass through the mortal world,
The old monk's words linger,
Bodhi Great Freedom!"
"Oh, Amitabha Buddha!"
After reciting for a while, Cao Xuan recited a Buddhist hymn toward the mountain. Then, he pulled Zhang Chong and strode down the mountain without looking back.
……
About ten minutes later, the two of them appeared at the foot of the mountain.
This was a plain with lush grass.
There were many temporary tents on the grassland, and some soldiers with automatic rifles were patrolling.
Not only that, after arriving here, Cao Xuan glanced meaningfully at a few bushes.
There were hidden sentries lurking in those places.
"Hiding requires the right time, the right place, and the right people. Although they have the right people, they don't have the right place.”Cao Xuan muttered to himself.
Soon, some warriors noticed the arrival of Cao Xuan and the others.
A moment later, a soldier strode up to Cao Xuan and the others.
He first saluted Cao Xuan and the others with a standard military salute, then smiled and said," Hello, our chief has invited you!”
"Hehe, Martial Uncle, the Bureau Chief is really good to us. He even specially sent people to welcome us.”Zhang Chong looked at the imposing soldiers and swept away his previous reluctance as he grinned.
"Maybe the truth is different from what I imagined?”Cao Xuan muttered mysteriously.
It was a little inexplicable!
But how could Zhang Chong comprehend it? He just kept smiling foolishly.
"Class monitor, please lead the way."
Of course, Cao Xuan still smiled at the soldier.
A crafty look flashed across the soldier's eyes as he led Cao Xuan and the others to a large tent.
"Our chief has ordered that Comrade Zhang Chong go in first.”The warrior stopped in his tracks.
"What? Why did you let me go in first?" Zhang Chong scratched the back of his head in confusion.
"I'm sorry, I'm not sure either. The duty of a soldier is to obey orders. I'm only following the orders of the chief.”
"It's fine. You can go in first!"
Cao Xuan patted Zhang Chong's shoulder.
At the same time, the corners of his mouth curled up into a teasing smile.
Him!
He already had a rough idea of what was going to happen.
"Alright then!" After receiving Cao Xuan's instructions, Zhang Chong nodded his head stiffly.
He quickly followed the warrior inside.
After a while, Zhang Chong did not come out. Instead, it was the soldier who came out alone.
"Comrade Cao Xuan, you can go in too!”The warrior waved his hand at Cao Xuan and made a gesture of invitation.
"Good!"
As he spoke, Cao Xuan strode into the big tent.
Shua ~!
The moment he stepped into the tent, Cao Xuan felt his vision blur as a black net covered him.
It instantly enveloped him.
This was a black net made of special silk threads, and it seemed that it was difficult to cut it with a dagger.
Swoosh ~!
At the same time, the two soldiers who had been waiting at the side pounced forward and twisted Cao Xuan's hands behind his back to restrain him.
From the moment the net covered Cao Xuan to the moment Cao Xuan was controlled, it definitely did not take more than two seconds.
During this time, Cao Xuan stood where he was without moving, let alone resisting.
At the same time.
A faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth as he looked ahead without a trace of surprise.
It was as if he had known that this would happen.
In front of Cao Xuan, Long Xiaoyun crossed her arms and stared at Cao Xuan with a cold smile.
In the corner of the big tent, Zhang Chong's hands and feet were tied up, and even his mouth was sealed with tape, unable to move.
He could only look at Cao Xuan with an innocent expression.
"Is this the Wolf Fang's welcome ceremony?”Cao Xuan tilted his neck and looked at Long Xiaoyun with a teasing smile.
"This is not our welcome ceremony. This is my punishment for not liking you!”Long Xiaoyun took a step forward and arrived in front of Cao Xuan as she sneered.
"Tie this bastard's hands and feet, then you guys take Zhang Chong out!”
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, a few soldiers led Zhang Chong out and tied Cao Xuan up.
Only Cao Xuan and Long Xiaoyun were left in the tent.
During this period, Cao Xuan did not resist. Or rather, he had a faint smile on his face from beginning to end.
