Shaolin Bajue

Chapter 219 Tower

"The old man just heard this, and slipped out quietly. Although the young man killed someone, the old man has been out of the arena for many years, and he doesn't care about right and wrong, and doesn't care about such nosy things. He just heard about it. I didn't expect you today One thing, the old bet didn't expect this to be the case, tsk tsk, the old bet probably guessed it, the reason why Sun Danian and Hu Bugui competed was probably because of Mei Niang, and that Mei Niang used to be a She was born as a prostitute, and her appearance is indeed outstanding. Sun Danian couldn't beat Hu Bugui, so he didn't go home, so he went to the brothel to look for Meiniang, but he saw something he shouldn't have seen. Meiniang and the young man were probably afraid of him Pass the matter to Hu Bugui, let the young man kill Sun Danian, alas, Sun Danian died really unjustly!"

Fang Jianming and Long Biyun nodded after hearing what he saw and conjectured. Fang Jianming said, "I also thought of something. After Hu Bugui came to the brothel, of course he knew about Uncle Sun's murder. The incident happened in the brothel where Meiniang worked. No matter how stupid Hu Bugui was, he would have guessed that Uncle Sun had something to do with Meiniang. The uncle was killed by the enemy's family. In this way, killing two birds with one stone, that person not only avenged him, but also blamed Hu Bugui. If Hu Bugui wanted to find out the cause of Uncle Sun's death, he might focus on Uncle Sun's enemy's family. However, I don't understand one thing. Hu Bugui kept saying that he wanted to find out the cause of Uncle Sun's death. Why didn't he start with Mei Niang? Why didn't he ask Grandma Sun? As for Mei Niang, I think he is also a man, why do he act like this!"

Long Biyun smiled and said: "As you said, the reason why Hu Bugui did this is because of his personality. He believes in Meiniang, so naturally he won't suspect her. Besides, Fang Lang, think about it." Hu Bugui, as the chief altar master of the Demon Cult, competed with others in the brothel and was jealous. He would not say such a thing with a knife on his neck. Harassment, of course I don't want to talk about Meiniang in front of outsiders!"

Only then did Lao Ga nod his head, and said: "Miss Long, you and Lao Ga just thought of getting together, hmph, of course they are people who care about their status, of course they won't say such things easily!" The three said while eating , they clarified the matter in this way. To be honest, although they are just conjectures, they are not far from the truth. Fang Jianming asked: "Old gambler, who is that young man? I don't think his martial arts are weak. Right?" Lao Ga laughed "haha" and said, "Don't tell me, this young man is in the Hangzhou mansion right now, and Lao Ga ran into him in the alley a few days ago." Fang Jianming was pleasantly surprised, and said: "This All right, when I call Brother Ang, Granny Sun and Sister Sun will definitely be by his side, I hope you will point out the murderer when the time comes, I will thank you on behalf of Brother Ang!"

Saying that, he raised his wine glass and made a toast to Lao Gai, so Lao Gai pushed his hand, rolled his eyes, and said, "Wait a minute, what is the relationship between your brother Ang and the grandparents of the Sun family? Why are you so enthusiastic?" Fang Jianming said: "Old gamblers, seeing injustice in the road, drawing swords to help each other is what my generation did. Besides, Brother Wu and Sister Sun have a very good relationship, and I have recognized Sister Sun as my younger sister. The relationship between Brother Ang and I It’s not just waiting around, if we don’t help, who will help!” After hearing this, Lao Gai sighed: “People like you are rare in today’s Jianghu, well, Lao Gai will naturally show up at that time Identify, however, this matter should not be rushed, otherwise you will startle the snake, you call your brother Ang and the grandparents of the Sun family, and then I will ask you in detail!" Fang Jianming nodded and said: "This matter is easy to handle. , Brother Ang is a friend of the Beggar Gang, and the disciples of the Beggar Gang are all over the world, there must be a branch of them in the city of Hangzhou, tomorrow I will go to find out the whereabouts of Brother Ang!"

After talking for a while, Lao Gai smiled and said: "Did you know? The oiran contest last night has already been contested at noon today." Fang Jianming stuck out his tongue and said: "So many people died last night, this oiran The competition is still going on, life is really worthless, who gets the oiran, is it Shi Xiaowan, or the one named Yanyan?" Lao Gai shook his head and said: "You can't think of it, the woman who gets the oiran is the one who gets the oiran at the latest. The girl who didn't appear on the stage, I heard that her name is Song Shishi, she sang and danced, causing a sensation in the audience, and got a full score, tsk tsk, but I don't know what she looks like, she seems to be a boat prostitute on the West Lake." "Really?" Fang Jianming Hearing the word "West Lake Boat Prostitute", I couldn't help but think of "Yan Feifeng". She is also a boat prostitute on the West Lake, but her identity is mysterious. Will it be her opponent?

Lao Gai only talked about it in the middle of the night, and then he left. If there is nothing to do, it will be short, and if there is something, it will be long. The next day, Fang Jianming didn't take much time to inquire about the Hangzhou sub-rudder of the Beggars' Gang, and arrived at the sub-rudder smoothly, and saw the rudder host.In fact, as early as when Wu Shiming was competing for the treasure on the stone wall, before he left, he whispered in Fang Jianming's ear, telling him how to find his way.The name of the Hangzhou rudder master of the beggar gang is Liu Jian, a middle-aged man in his early forties. He comes from the Jingyi family of the beggar gang. , do you know where he is?" Liu Jian listened and said with a smile: "Are you looking for Brother Wu?" Fang Jianming nodded and said, "I have something to see him." Liu Jian said: "You came at the right time, Fang Shaoxia, Our leader and Brother Wu are on their way here, according to the distance, we will arrive here tomorrow." Fang Jianming was overjoyed, and said, "Really? That's great, I don't have to look for him, eh, that's right, Brother Ang and Brother Hua, what are they doing, why are they here?"

Liu Jian knew that Fang Jianming and Wu Shiming were "friends", so he didn't hide it from him, and said: "No, they are just passing by. They are going to Jiaxing, and I heard that they are going to give gifts to people. I will not give any gifts. And I know, Fang Shaoxia, when the gang leader and the others come, I will tell them about you looking for Brother Wu, for convenience, Shaoxia tell me the address, and I will pass it on for you." Fang Jianming nodded, and told him the address , leave.

Hangzhou ** Pagoda, famous all over the world, is located on Xizhao Mountain, a branch of Nanping Mountain on the south bank of West Lake. There is an ancient brick pagoda with eight sides and five floors. Commonly known as Huangfei Pagoda, because the pagoda is outside Xiguan, it is also called Xiguan Brick Pagoda, and later generations renamed it "Leifeng Pagoda" because the pagoda is on a hill named Leifeng.

In fact, Leifeng Pagoda is also famous because it is located on the same line with Baoshu Pagoda on the North Mountain in the scenery of West Lake. To the north, facing each other across the lake, the Leifeng Pagoda is thick and elegant, and the Baoshu Pagoda is slender and handsome. There is a folk saying that "Leifeng is like an old monk, and Baoshu is like a beauty".But when it comes to the most famous place of the ** Pagoda, we have to mention the "***sunset". However, the ****sunset is beautiful, and I am afraid that there is no moving legend. This legend is about the legend of the white lady.Last time, Fang Jianming and others came to visit the West Lake, but were interrupted by the villains of the West Lake Gang. Fang Jianming only looked at the ** Tower from a distance, but never looked closely.Due to the date of "Xiaoyao Shenjian", Fang Jianming came to the edge of the West Lake and walked along the lake embankment. cant.Fang Jianming walked along the stone steps for more than ten steps. He heard footsteps coming from the front. He looked up and saw an old monk walking towards him with a young novice. A string of extremely large Buddhist beads, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, looks to be at least seventy years old, and the little novice monk has a shiny head and looks cute.

In a blink of an eye, the old monk and the little novice approached. The old monk raised his eyes and glanced at Fang Jianming. Fang Jianming smiled at him kindly. The old monk suddenly said, "The almsgiver came by appointment?" Fang Jianming was startled, and said "Master, how did you know that I'm here as promised?" The old monk frowned, but didn't answer his words, and said: "The almsgiver had better not go forward, and leave this place as soon as possible, otherwise you will be in danger of your life, the old monk said nothing." Here, I hope the benefactor can do it for me!" After speaking, he took the little novice down the mountain, Fang Jianming originally wanted to ask him why, but the two of them didn't turn their heads back, even if he wanted to ask, I'm afraid he would not say it clearly.Fang Jianming smiled secretly: "This old monk is really extraordinary. He actually knew that I came here on an appointment. He said that my life would be in danger. Could it be that he was referring to me and Xiaoyao Shenjian? No, that Xiaoyao Shenjian His martial arts skills are superb, but I still don't believe that he can defeat me, or even kill me. Besides, I came prepared. I brought the Tianchan Sword with me just in case, this old man The monk may be exaggerating! However, he is also kind enough to persuade me, I just act carefully!"

After making up his mind to pay attention, he put the old monk's words in his heart, watched the scenery all the way, and toured around the ** Pagoda. The sky gradually became dark, and the monks in the ** Pagoda also lit oil lamps.Since the construction of this tower in the early Song Dynasty, during the Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the army of the Northern Song Dynasty conquered Fangla, and the tower was severely damaged. In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty fought against the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty. The body was reduced from seven floors to five floors. At this time, it was the Zhengtong period of the Ming Dynasty. The pagoda was still well preserved, and there were monks living in the pagoda.Fang Jianming went to ask to see the abbot in the pagoda, but the resident monk said that the abbot went down the mountain, Fang Jianming was a bit disappointed, he drank green tea and offered incense, so he had to pay some incense money.The Zhike monk didn't know why Fang Jianming came here so late, saying that he wanted to stay overnight, but he didn't look like him. Seeing his "sneaky" appearance, he mistakenly thought that he was hunting for treasures in the tower with malicious intentions, and stared at him closely. He didn't let him go, Fang Jianming couldn't laugh or cry, he had no choice but to walk away from the pagoda, and only then did he get rid of the monk Zhike.
