Chapter 4: The Rat Crossing the Street and the Desperate Enemy
"Master, are you okay?"
In the chaos, Fei Lianxiu and Xiao Shang ran to nowhere. Xiangling helped Sun Wu up and stepped aside. 26nbsp; Even in such a state of injury and fatigue, the golden bell still has an excellent protective effect.
, Sun Wu's head hit the ground hard. It was not hurt, but a piece of the ground cracked. However, after the brief pain, his consciousness was enveloped by a strong dizziness, and his feet were too weak to stand up.
.
"They ran away again! Damn it! They use this cunning trick every time!"
The smoke and dust gradually dispersed, and the group of book thieves had already disappeared without a trace. The great monks who had lost their target were so angry that they frowned and stared. Although they did not utter any obscene words, everyone was still scolding them angrily.
, the strangest thing is that someone mentioned that "these thieves must be taught a hard lesson tomorrow", which made Xiangling curious. Could it be that these thieves really come to steal books every day? There are so many masters in Cihang Jing Palace, how can a group of little people be allowed to do so?
Are the thieves like this coming to your door?
This group of great monks are all wearing gray robes, not cassocks. It seems that they are just junior monks in the temple, not experts. And they obviously know nothing about what happened in the Main Hall, and they don’t know what is happening in front of them.
These three women and one man were the targets of the officers and soldiers, which made Xiangling feel very lucky. Otherwise, if a fight started here, the experts in Cihang's academy would be alarmed, and the consequences would be very troublesome.
"The poor monk and the junior fellow apprentices caught the thief and accidentally offended you all. I feel very sorry."
The monks apologized to Xiang Ling and Sun Wu. In order to show their responsibility, they also asked Xiang Ling to take Sun Wu up the mountain for treatment by the medical monks from Cihangjing Palace. Of course, Xiang Ling could not agree and found an excuse to refuse.
The monks could not force each other, so they gave each other the medicine for their wounds, expressed their apologies again and again, and then left.
When they left, the monks were very dissatisfied. They thought that the thief's skills were ordinary. If he didn't rely on the help of strange magic weapons, how could he escape today?
The more he talked, the angrier he became. One monk couldn't help blurting out, "If we also have magic weapons to use, how come we can't catch them? It's the abbot..."
"Shut up! The prohibition of magic weapons is a temple rule set by the abbot. Why is it our turn to talk too much?"
An older monk scolded the juniors and prevented them from talking any more, but judging from the expressions of most people, it seemed that they did not agree with this prohibition. A group of people were talking and walking, and gradually moved away, with Xiangling faintly visible.
I heard them talking about a gathering in the near future, but they haven't decided yet whether they want to attend or not.
"I'm hesitant about whether to participate. This gathering should not be a public gathering in the temple. Well, the interior of Cihangjing Hall is not stable at all, and there is a menacing King Hulun outside. It seems that this wave of internal and external troubles is not optimistic."
Ling ran through a few thoughts in his mind and suddenly noticed a sound on the left. He turned around and saw Fei Lianxiu walking out of the bushes on the left with a slightly strange expression.
"Excuse me...where is Miss Shang?"
Xiao Shang did not appear alone. There were several people following him. It was the book thief who had just escaped in the chaos. Xiao Shang was being held in the arms of one of the men. It seemed that he had not yet regained consciousness.
In other words, he was being held hostage.
Such a small scene was not enough to faze Xiang Ling, but when she saw clearly the appearance of the thief who held Xiao Shang hostage, and felt confused for a while as if she had seen him before, she was suddenly startled. Before she could speak, she kept squatting beside her.
The boy on the ground held his head in his hands and groaned.
"Master, do you have a severe headache?"
The headache felt bad, but what was really uncomfortable was the inexplicable dizziness. It had nothing to do with the injury caused by the collision. It seemed to be seeping out from deep inside the brain, bit by bit, making the boy have to press hard. Head, resisting the head-splitting spin.
Is it because I bumped my head that I felt this way? Probably not. It wasn't the first time I bumped my head hard, so how could I feel dizzy so easily? There must be some other reason, right?
Moreover, what is really hard to let go of is that at the moment when I fell into the air and hit the ground, I suddenly had a strong heart palpitations, as if I had had a similar experience, and as soon as this thought came out, my body started to Suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, trembling with fear.
Why?
Is it... something happened in the past that I have forgotten, but my body still remembers it, so when similar things happen again, my body will have a strong reaction to remind myself that this happened before.
However, if I think about it carefully, I have indeed done similar things in the past. Whether it was knocking down others or jumping into the air, I can recall actual examples. But when I did these things, I didn't feel as frightened as I do now. Why do I do it now... …
Could it be said that it was not a knockdown or a knockdown, but that someone else had knocked him down like this before?
This idea should be correct, because when I realized this, my body's reaction became more intense, and my heart beat rapidly to the point of pain.
If this idea is correct, who else was with him at that time? Xiao Shang? The possibility is very high, because no matter where he went since he was a child, he was always with Xiao Shang, but was there anyone else? What? In a daze, I felt that there should be someone else, an adult, someone...
"Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Are you injured?"
A voice came through the fog of memory. When the boy heard the voice and raised his head, what came into his eyes was a thin and unfamiliar face. Although he had no impression of this face, he felt familiar with those eyes. .
"You...you are..."
"Don't you recognize me? I just shaved off my beard. Well, no wonder you don't recognize me. Uncle has lost a lot of weight these days..."
"Lu...Uncle Lu..."
Unable to utter another word, the boy's body went limp and his unconscious head hit the ground again.
When Sun Wu woke up from his brief coma, what he had to face was a strange and shocking situation.
It was of course a great joy to meet Lu Feiyang again, but when the young man learned that Lu Feiyang had participated in the book-stealing operation and was an accomplice of the book thieves, he immediately opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time.
"Uncle Lu, didn't you say you were going to join your friends and do business together?"
"Yes, those you just saw are my friends. They are very loyal. They are all loyal and courageous men. They are very good friends."
"Ah? What kind of business are you doing with them?"
"Hahahaha, you come without a trace, you go without a trace, all your money is gone, you can just reach out, and you are doing business without capital!"
"You, you changed from a tramp to a thief..."
Compared to being a tramp before, now it is even worse to abandon oneself. A tramp is at least harmless to humans and animals, and is much better than a thief who steals people's money.
"...Really? But the villagers in Liangshanbo are either perverts or robbers and villains. Maybe Fenghuang'er likes this tone better. Since I was kicked out by her, I often thought about why I failed, and finally I was I figured it out."
Lu Feiyang nodded and said: "Fenghuang'er doesn't like old-fashioned men who follow the rules, so I decided to change my route this time and pursue your sister with a more positive attitude. I'll start with simple stealing chickens and petting dogs. I am a little thief, and when I succeed in my studies, I will be promoted to a heart-stealing 'prostitute' thief, and your sister will..."
"Wait a minute, no matter what the reason is, being a thief is wrong. And why do you come to Cihang Jingdian to steal things? There are so many masters here. If you come here to steal things, your life will be in danger at any time. !”
"Well...actually Uncle Lu wants to help you steal that treasure so that you can do business and your sister will be happy. But no one knows what the treasure is now, so Uncle Lu has to go steal the book with his friends first, and by the way Gather information.”
"I...I didn't plan to steal it! You're not good at martial arts. You'll be out of breath even if you carry me on your back. Yet you dare to come here to steal books. If you really meet an expert, you'll easily be beaten to death with a slap. Already."
Sun Wu tried hard to persuade Lu Feiyang to give up, but he was born in a bandit's den, and these words were completely unconvincing. Moreover, Lu Feiyang seemed to have made up his mind to work hard for his beautiful love, and he would not listen to him at all. of persuasion.
"Don't worry. If I can't defeat anyone, I can still escape. I used to study at Cihang Jingdian, and I'm very familiar with the terrain here. I also know a few tunnels that few people know about. If anything happens, I Just run for the monks to chase us. You saw it just now, we run very fast, right? Moreover, we also have good equipment. Hey, let me tell you a secret, uncle already has his own weapons."
With a very proud expression, Lu Feiyang whispered to Sun Wu, "Xiao Wu, most of the people who steal books with us don't have good weapons, but the leader of this group, the bearded man who just took the lead, is called Chi." Ba, he is a good friend of mine. He was afraid that the monks would chase me first if I was not fierce enough when I committed the crime, so he especially gave me a very majestic weapon, so handsome."
"What, what weapon?"
"Hehehe, it's this majestic nine-ring sword!"
When Lu Feiyang, in order to show off, raised the nine-ring sword high with one hand and waved it in the air a few times, the nine copper rings on the back of the sword clanged. Sun Wu looked at him blankly, and was surprised by the vulgar and vulgar sword. I lamented my lack of taste in weapons over and over again, feeling that some of my childhood aspirations had been shattered.
"Anyway, Xiao Wu, don't think too much. I see that your health is not very good, so I will rest here with Xiao Shang for a few days, and then go to steal scriptures with my uncle."
"Yes... By the way, where is Xiaoshang? And where has everyone gone?"
Just now, Sun Wu woke up from a coma, only to find that he was lying in a strange room. Lu Feiyang was sitting next to the bed, half-yawning, waiting for him to wake up. Then the two of them started to argue about stealing books, because He was so focused on talking that Sun Wu didn't think about anything else at all. It wasn't until he was awakened by Lu Feiyang's words that he remembered everything that happened before he fell into coma. He also discovered that Xiao Shang was not in the room and he didn't know where he was. went.
There was a chaotic fight in the main palace. Because the scene was too chaotic, I didn't know the situation of my companions. But later, Xiangling carried herself and Xiaoshang on her back and fled, and I realized that Xiaoshang's situation was indeed true.
It's not right. He is half-conscious as if he has a high fever, and his forehead is even more hot. He is obviously sick, but he didn't feel anything before.
"Uncle Lu, is Xiao Shang sick?"
"You should be the one who knows best whether she is sick. The two of you have been together all day since childhood. Don't you know that she is sick?"
"Xiao Shang has been acting weird these past few days, and she often does some weird things. But you also know that she has always been weird. I thought her weird actions were just to make fun of us, so I didn't pay too much attention to them.
, is she really...impossible? Xiaoshang never got sick when he was in Liangshanbo."
Although he was defending himself, the uneasiness in the young man's heart had already appeared on his face. Lu Feiyang said nothing, just looked at him quietly, and found the answer he wanted from the expression on his face.
... This boy has very good qualifications, and his heart is so kind that it makes people cherish him. Although he is a little slow in some places, there is no need to be strict with him when he makes mistakes.
Blame, because the self-blame caused by a strong sense of responsibility has been enough to make this child deeply reflect. Just like now, there are tears rolling in his eyes.
...When a man sheds tears, it is not necessarily a bad thing. If a man can still cry or laugh because of his true emotions, it means that his heart has not been blinded by cunning and cunning. It seems that although they have been separated for many years, this child has not
Being led astray and still growing well in that environment should be the result of Fengjie's hard work.
... Without being baptized by too many grievances and hatreds, a person's heart can naturally remain pure and kind. I hope... when the secret of his life experience is gradually revealed during this trip to Cihang Jingdian, he can still remain pure.
