Chapter 65: Love Breaks Linjiang Immortal (Part 2)
Daxuan Chongdao.
Tangzhou inherited the Buddha.
Due to historical issues, various places in Tangzhou did not respond to the imperial court's call. There are still many temples and pagodas everywhere.
In the small Xinye County alone, there are four or five ancient Buddhist temples.
Zhaoye Temple is one of them, built on the steep mountainside.
It was already Haishi when Xu Zun and Huo Anu arrived, but they did not expect that the lights in front of Zhaoye Temple were brightly lit.
But I saw a whole group of soldiers holding torches blocking the entrance of Zhaoye Temple.
The two brothers of the Shen family were bossing around and became furious, especially the youngest, Shen Xinglian. He pulled out his saber, pointed at the nuns at the door of the temple and roared:
"If you don't hand over my sister, I will set fire to your ruined temple!"
"Amitabha," an elderly nun said calmly with his hands clasped together, "A visitor from the mountains is a destined person!
"Ms. Shen is just doing some cleansing in our temple for a few days. I would like to advise the two donors not to disturb us any further!"
"This can't be done, this can't be done!" Shen Xinghong shouted anxiously, "If you say you're going to be a guest, then you're going to be a guest. What if my sister gets tonsured? What will we do? Huh?"
"Yes!" Shen Xinglian shouted into the temple, "Sister, come out quickly! Don't scare us!"
After saying that, he held the knife and was about to rush in.
The nuns in the temple hurriedly blocked the door to stop them, and the old abbot advised again:
"Miss Shen only entered our temple to practice meditation because her father passed away, feeling guilty and sullen, and she did not become a monk!
"Wouldn't it be better if I earnestly advise her and help her resolve her knot?"
"You..." The Shen brothers stared with red eyes, and Shen Xinghong said angrily, "Okay, I believe you, but you have to let us meet our sister?"
"Yes!" Shen Xinglian pushed the nun away and rushed to the door, "If I can't see my sister, I'm not done with you! Let me in..."
"Discourteous!" The old host finally got angry and shouted, "Buddhism is a pure place. It is really a sin for the two donors to be so rude!"
"Stop!" At this time, Huo Anu, who had just arrived, rushed up and shouted, "You two young masters, don't be like this. Xu Zun is here, let him think of a solution?"
"Why?"
Seeing Xu Zun, the Shen brothers immediately became furious.
"Huo Anu," Shen Xinglian asked, "Why did you call this paralytic here? Didn't my sister suffer enough from him? Didn't our Shen family suffer enough from him?"
"Yes, Huo Anu," Shen Xinghong complained, "You are becoming more and more outrageous as a servant! My sister wants to become a monk, but you didn't inform us, and instead called an outsider over, what are you doing? What do you mean?"
"I..." Huo Anu glared and said, "Yes... the lady didn't let me tell you!"
"Then why did you call the paralyzed man here?" Shen Xinglian shouted angrily, "Do you really think of him as my uncle of the Shen family?"
ah?
Xu Zun walked closer and looked at the tall temple gate, wondering:
No way?
Miss Shen is fine, why would she suddenly want to become a monk?
Is it because you don’t want to marry me?
But I didn’t mention getting married, either?
Now that Mr. Shen has gone, the engagement will be terminated, right?
"Paralytic Xu," Shen Xinglian saw Xu Zun approaching, and rushed forward like a hungry wolf. He grabbed Xu Zun's collar and cursed, "Look at the good things you have done!"
"I'll fuck your old eyes..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Shen Xinglian grabbed Xu Zun's collar, Xu Zun suddenly jumped up, strangled Shen Xinglian's neck with one hand, and twisted his arm with the other!
"Hey? Hey hey hey..."
Shen Xinglian was in pain and the knife fell to the ground instantly.
Whoosh!
The soldiers were shocked and hurriedly drew their weapons and pointed them at Xu Zun.
"Shen Laosan," Xu Zun still exerted his strength and said fiercely, "I didn't want to argue with you in front of the adoptive father's funeral hall, but you don't want to push yourself too far!
"I'll tell you again," Xu Zun said word by word, "it was my adoptive father who asked me to take care of Shen Qian, and I didn't say I agreed!"
"Ouch... Ouch... it hurts..." Shen Xinglian gritted his teeth in pain and was in agony.
"Xu Zun, are you crazy?"
Shen Xinghong was completely dumbfounded. He and Xu Zun had known each other since childhood, but they had never seen Xu Zun so domineering.
The soldiers were ready to move with their weapons, but they were afraid of hurting Shen Xinglian and did not dare to make a move.
Huo Anu couldn't believe his eyes. For a moment, he didn't know where to help?
"Also, my adoptive father was killed by an adulterer and has nothing to do with me. If I hadn't been so inspiring, I'm afraid you and your family would have become prisoners long ago!
"Also," Xu Zun added a little more strength, twisting Shen Xinglian's arm until it rattled, "If you dare to call me a paralytic again, I will beat you every time I see you!"
After saying that, Xu Zun finally let go of his hand and pushed Shen Xinglian to the ground.
Whoosh!
The soldiers immediately moved forward, wanting to attack Xu Zun.
"What!?" However, Xu Zun glared at them, raised his head and shouted, "Do you want to rebel? I am a dignified county captain. Do you know what crime you are committing by openly attacking an official of the imperial court?
"You are just a group of soldiers returning home to pay homage to your superiors. Do you know that according to the Daxuan Law, I have the right to imprison you now?"
After Xu Zun shouted like this, the soldiers no longer dared to move forward.
"Xu Zun," Shen Xinghong retorted, "don't be alarmist here. I am the Tangzhou Dharma Cao. I have a higher official position than you. I..."
"Then your crime will be increased!" Xu Zun interrupted him unceremoniously, "You brought private soldiers back to your hometown, and you dared to openly provoke the local county captain. Don't you want to be around anymore?
"The governor of Tangzhou is still in Xinye County. Should we call him over to give us a review?"
"This..." Shen Xinghong was speechless.
"Ah... Paramantic Xu, I'll kill you!" However, Shen Xinglian became angry and turned around to rush towards Xu Zun.
As a result, Xu Zun made a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw and threw the military-born Jingwu captain to the ground!
Then, he slapped down Shen Xinglian and gave Shen Xinglian a loud slap!
"Ah! It's reversed, it's reversed!" Seeing that his tall brother was easily knocked down and slapped in the face by Xu Zun, Shen Xinghong was completely confused. He ignored the warning and shouted to the soldiers, "Quick! Get up quickly!" "
When the soldiers saw this, they had no choice but to rush towards Xu Zun.
However, they only wanted to go over and break up the fight, but they no longer dared to wield swords against Xu Zun. If they really hurt the county captain, they would not be able to bear it.
The Daxuan Law protects officials very strictly. Although the county captain is only a ninth-rank official, he is also an official of the imperial court and cannot be touched by ordinary people.
"Anouche! Get out of here!"
Finally, Huo Anu couldn't stand it anymore and immediately stood in front of Xu Zun and launched an attack stance towards the soldiers.
Although she did not carry an iron umbrella today, her tall figure and tiger-wolf-like aura still put great pressure on the soldiers.
However, just when a melee was about to begin, Miss Shen's voice suddenly came from above the temple door:
"Stop! Stop fighting!"
When everyone heard Shen Qian's voice, they hurriedly stopped and looked towards the top of the city.
However, upon seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
But I saw Shen Qian on the gatehouse wearing a robe, beads hanging around her neck, and a monk's hat. She had already been tonsured!!!
"ah!!?"
When the Shen brothers saw it, they immediately collapsed on the ground.
"Little... miss..."
Huo Anu was also shocked and fell to his knees.
"this……"
Xu Zun was dumbfounded.
"Amitabha!"
Even the old host was surprised...
"Brothers, I have made up my mind," Shen Qian said solemnly, "If you continue to push each other hard, I will jump out of here!"
As she spoke, she took a step forward, ready to jump.
"Don't! Don't! Don't!" Shen Xinghong was shocked and started to cry, "Sister, why are you doing this!"
"Don't... don't jump!" Shen Xinglian was frightened, "We have already lost our father, we can't lose our sister again!"
"Then please leave now!" Shen Qian raised her head and said, "I'm done with being a poor nun. I'll see you again someday!"
After saying that, Shen Qian turned and left, leaving only a floating and beautiful shadow.
"Sister...sister..."
The Shen brothers were dejected and squatted on the ground for a moment. Finally, they could only glare at Xu Zun and leave angrily...
"Woooo..."
However, the saddest person was Huo Anu. She knelt on the ground and sobbed, looking lonely and pitiful.
Seeing that the situation had calmed down, the nuns also followed the abbot back to the temple.
Squeak...
The door closed, and it became quiet, except for Huo Anu's sobs.
However, just when Xu Zun wanted to comfort Huo Anu, the temple door suddenly opened another gap.
A female nun who was only eleven or twelve years old squeezed out from the gap, then quickly ran up to Xu Zun and Xu Zun with her head lowered, and handed two letters to them respectively.
Huo Anu knew that this was what Shen Qian had written for her, so she hurriedly opened it and checked it...
Xu Zun also opened the letter written by Miss Shen to himself.
As a result, when Xu Zun read the content of the letter, his heart suddenly surged, and his heart was like a turbulent wave. However, he saw that there was no other words in the letter, and he just wrote a poem "Linjiang Immortal":
The rain falls on the sycamore leaves,
Don't worry about separation and hatred, who will listen?
I pity Gu Hong in his shadow.
A long night of empty memories,
Tossing and turning, I heard the rooster crow.
Suddenly Jue Fang is heartbroken at the end of the world,
Who understands love in this life?
One thought becomes a sorrow from spring to winter.
