A knife in love

Chapter 727

After listening to Monk Xuanji's words, Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "Monk Xuanji has such knowledge and is valued by all the martial arts sects. There is indeed some reason. Although I have heard of the name of Lie Huo Zhang, it is not as detailed as him."

Sun Guangming praised: "Grand Monk, you really have you, you actually explained the origin of this martial art clearly, it gave me a lot of insight."

Monk Xuanji put his hands together and said: "The benefactor is absurd. It is said that martial arts in the world came from Shaolin. Although the fire palm is powerful, it was introduced to the Western Regions from the Central Plains. Tracing back to the source, it still has some relationship with the martial arts of Shaolin Temple. The poor monk was lucky to get Shaolin Temple The master abbot and the two heads of Bodhidharma Academy and Prajna Hall have read several books in the Buddhist scripture pavilion of Shaolin Temple. There is a book that mentions Raging Fire Palm, saying that this martial art and flame knife are all from Shaolin Temple. Duan Kong Zhang's heart method. At that time, there was an eminent Shaolin monk who was proficient in this martial art. Later, he went to the Western Regions to spread the Dharma and never returned to the Shaolin Temple. Duan Kong Zhang was spread in the Western Regions. He came up with the two unique skills of flame knife and blazing palm. After reading that book, the poor monk vaguely knew the origin of some blazing palms, and he used axes in class, which made everyone laugh."

Everyone knows that Monk Xuanji's martial arts are extremely high, and they thought that you, a monk, have practiced Prajna Palm to the point of perfection, who dares to laugh at you, it's because he lives too long.

Gao Lishi listened to Monk Xuanji's words, but he was also very impressed, and said: "This master is indeed very knowledgeable. When Ri Hanli mentioned Raging Fire Palm, Wang, Li and I didn't know the origin of this martial art. We don't even know how powerful it is. Han Li greeted us next to the headless corpse. At this time, he had already used a short knife to remove the upper body of the corpse, and we saw a blood-red palm print clearly on the chest of the corpse. , just like flames, the situation is extremely strange.

"Li Shoude smiled when he saw the palm print, and said to Wang Maozhong, he never imagined that Master Wang practiced martial arts behind everyone's back, and he managed to achieve such a powerful stunt. Li admired him so much. Haha, haha.

"Everyone knows that Li Shoude is mocking Wang Maozhong. Rao Wang Maozhong has always been brazen, and he couldn't hold back his face at that time. He opened his eyes wide and said to Li Shoude, no matter how powerful Wang is, how can he compare with you?" Master Li? Master Li's greedy work, taking advantage of the danger of others, took advantage of the serious injury of the monk, and chopped off his head, but boasted that it was his own credit. This cheeky magic skill is naturally far above the palm of the fire up.

"The two of them started arguing in front of the gate of the side hall. Han Li and I hurried forward to persuade them, and other people in the palace also tried to persuade them not to act rashly. Wang and Li reluctantly kept their mouths shut, but they glared at each other. Han Li said, the lord ordered us to do business. As long as the monk is dead, everyone will have credit for it. You can't take this great achievement by yourself, it's better to be a favor, and then change your tone, no longer say that you killed Monk Niankong, but say that everyone came together, and then you're done.

"For this credit, everyone finally didn't regenerate dirty. Then Han Li took his disciples to search the side hall for a while, and found a lot of things used to set up the barrier. I was suspicious, so I asked Han Li Li asked whether the enchantment was set up by Monk Niankong. Han Li looked serious, and said that when Monk Niankong built the Skeleton King Temple, he did set up enchantments around the temple. However, someone was watching, taking advantage of Niankong The monk was unprepared, and tampered with the original formation. Therefore, this barrier uses the five elements of Qimen in reverse, and it is extremely powerful.

"Although Monk Niankong is great, he was taken advantage of by others, and he fell into the enchantment. Before we arrived here, something must have happened in the Skeleton King Temple. Although the man secretly changed the enchantment, trapped Nian Monk Kong. However, this monk is indeed an amazing person. He actually saw the clue and faced the person who secretly changed the barrier. It should be known that the most powerful part of the barrier is to kill people invisible. If you set up a barrier I don't know what method Monk Niankong used to make that person show up. The two must have had a fierce battle. Monk Niankong was hit with a fiery palm and was seriously injured. When we arrived, he was trying his best to heal his injuries, and then Li Shoude cut off his head with a sword. Judging from this situation, the person who injured Monk Niankong also suffered a big loss, otherwise he would never stay Regardless of the seriously injured monk Niankong, he left the Skeleton King Temple first.

"When Han Li said this, I suddenly remembered the man hiding on the roof of the side hall, so I asked Han Li if it was the masked man in black who injured Monk Niankong. Han Li shook his head and said that if the man beat Injured Monk Niankong, seeing how he later used the silver thread to take away Monk Niankong's head, he definitely would not kill Monk Niankong on the spot after imprinting a palm of fire on Monk Niankong's chest, but hid in the On the roof of the side hall, it took so much effort to take away the head of Monk Niankong. Presumably the praying mantis was catching the cicada, and the oriole was behind. They had no choice but to leave on the spot. Some people were watching all the time, taking advantage of Li Shoude's unpreparedness, and snatched the head of Monk Niankong. The identities of these people and what their purpose is, it is not yet possible to judge.

"Everyone talked and talked for a long time, but there was no result. But the monk Niankong is dead, and he has completed the important task entrusted by the prince. Therefore, we took the headless body of the monk Niankong and left the skeleton. Dawangmiao, go straight back to Chang’an, and report to the prince. Although Han Li went to the Changping ancient battlefield with me, Wang Maozhong, and Li Shoude, it’s just that he was hired by the prince with a lot of money, and he was not from the palace. After talking for a few words, we took our leave and left. The prince left me, Wang and Li, and asked about the process of the trip in detail. The three of us told the story of the skeleton king's temple, but Wang Maozhong and Li Shoude The section where the two compete for merit is naturally omitted.

"My lord heard that Monk Niankong was seriously injured, he couldn't help but frowned, and said, Monk Niankong is already so powerful, who in the world can hurt him? Wang and Li and I are also confused , It was very embarrassing to stand aside. I saw that the prince was worried, so I carefully comforted him and said, Monk Niankong is dead. However, Han Li should be superior to Monk Niankong and others. Since the prince is worried that the person who injured Monk Niankong will make things difficult for us, we might as well invite Mr. Han to the mansion. Even if that person wants to make trouble, it is not Han. Mister Rival.

"The prince sighed and said, why don't I want to do this? It's just that Mr. Han is a high-ranking man who doesn't like to be restrained by others. I have invited him into the mansion many times and promised him a high position, but he always declined. This time I went to Gaoping with you, and it took me a lot of trouble before he nodded and agreed. If he wants to stay in the palace forever, I'm afraid he won't agree.

"I hurriedly persuaded, the prince has never tried, how can he know that Mr. Han will not agree? I watched coldly in the Skeleton King Temple. Mr. Han was very puzzled by the death of Monk Niankong, and he was also confused about the origin of the Skeleton King Temple. Some doubts. When returning to Chang'an, he kept making indirect remarks along the way, and kept asking me the reason for this matter. These strangers may regard money, fame and wealth as dung, but if they encounter strange things in the world, even if they are hollowed out Thoughts, I also want to find out. The prince can use Mr. Han's thoughts to tell him about the Skeleton King's Temple. I think with Mr. Han's knowledge, he will definitely agree to the prince's request and stay in the palace to investigate the matter .

"At that time, I was just trying to persuade the prince to comfort him. Whether Han Li was very interested in the Temple of the Skeleton King was mostly based on speculation. I was not even half sure whether Han Li would agree to work for the prince. I didn't expect the prince to listen. After getting my idea, he personally visited the door and told the whole story. Han Li agreed and followed the prince to the palace. This was quite unexpected. The prince praised me for a good idea and rewarded me. He gave me 100 taels of silver and two bolts of brocade.

"After Han Li arrived at the palace, the prince allocated him a house in the back garden to live in, and handed over the formation map to Han Li, asking him to study it carefully. The formation map that the prince got was presented by Monk Niankong, but When building the Skeleton King Temple, the prince gave the formation map to Monk Niankong, asking him to take it to the Changping Ancient Battlefield and act according to the formation map. However, the prince kept a mind, before handing over the formation map to Monk Niankong , I drew a copy according to the original drawing by myself, and hid it in the secret room of the palace..."

When Li Qiufeng and others heard this, they all thought: "There is another copy of this map, I don't know where it went to spread later."

I only heard Gao Lishi continue to say: "Han Li has obtained the array map, he is like a treasure, and he hides in the back garden house every day to study hard. At that time, the emperor had decided to make the prince the crown prince, and wanted to give him the throne But Princess Taiping is ambitious and wants to follow the example of Emperor Zetian and become the female emperor. She knows that the emperor is kind, but the prince is wise and mighty. Definitely not the prince's opponent. It is because of her that she gathered all the cronies in the court to write a letter to prevent the emperor from passing the throne to the prince. Princess Taiping has been in the court for decades, and nine out of ten of the ministers in the court are hers. The same party. If Princess Taiping makes trouble, the court will definitely be in chaos. The prince has thought over and over again, but there is no good way. Just at this time, another incident suddenly happened in the palace, which caused a disturbance. "

Hearing that his tone suddenly became serious, everyone knew that the turmoil must be serious, so they listened attentively, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

Gao Lishi said in a deep voice: "One night, someone came to report suddenly that when the servants of the mansion delivered food to Han Li who lived alone in the back garden, he found that the house was empty and Han Li had disappeared. The prince was shocked. I hurriedly led people to Han Li's residence. But I saw that the house was cleaned up, but Han Li disappeared. The prince ordered martial law in the palace, and searched Han Li's house. I know what the prince is looking for The map, but almost turned the house upside down, but the formation map is nowhere to be seen, presumably Han Li has already taken it away."
