Lu Daoyuan shook his head and said, "I'm just complaining. As for the new prefect, he has a price, it's just a certain amount. I'm not afraid of him being greedy."
Xie Xun said: "The imperial court is corrupt and oppresses the Han people, and the world is in chaos."
Xie Xun was lying on his bed sleeping when he suddenly heard a soft sound on the roof. It was the sound of feet stepping on tiles. The sound was very small, but Xie Xun still heard it.
Xie Xun immediately realized that he should be the arrested person.
Xie Xun remained calm, stood up gently, and left the bedroom.
He saw a black shadow passing over the rooftop opposite, and Xie Xun flew after it without making a sound.
Xie Xun did not hide his figure. As soon as he chased him, the people in front were immediately aware of it.
The person in front stood still, turned around, and looked at Xie Xun in the moonlight.
Xie Xun also looked at this night traveler. He was of medium build, neither fat nor thin, and was masked and dressed in black.
After seeing Xie Xun's appearance clearly, this man shouted: "Brother Xie!"
Xie Xun was stunned. He didn't expect to recognize him. This man took off the black scarf on his face. Xie Xun really recognized him. He was Song Yuanqiao.
Xie Xun said: "Yuanqiao, what are you..."
Song Yuanqiao said: "I was the one who killed this corrupt official, the prefect of Suzhou."
As he spoke, he also picked up a package in his hand, which should be a human head.
Xie Xun asked: "Do you have any grudges?"
Song Yuanqiao shook his head and said: "No. I was passing through Suzhou and heard that this corrupt official was taking bribes, perverting the law, and oppressing good people, so I killed him to eliminate harm for the people."
Xie Xun nodded and said, "You are now out to travel around the world."
Song Yuanqiao smiled horribly and said, "I'm still far from becoming a master. It's just that the master asked me to come out and gain more experience."
Xie Xun asked again: "Can't we leave the city now?"
Song Yuanqiao said: "The government responded quickly, and it's not easy to get out."
Xie Xun said: "The government is not a place for heroes to come and go at will. They also have experts. The prefect is in power and holds great power, and there are many people who will work hard for him. Stop running around and come to hide here."
Song Yuanqiao asked: "Brother Xie still has a residence here?"
Xie Xun said: "It's a friend's house, don't worry. Was your face seen when you killed someone?"
Song Yuanqiao said: "No, I am acting in a mask."
Xie Xun nodded, but fortunately he was not arrogant enough to show his face, so as not to cause trouble for himself and the Wu-Tang Clan, and asked again: "Then what are you doing with the head?"
Song Yuanqiao felt a little embarrassed and said: "This is the first time I have gone out to do something. At that time, I wanted to cut off a person's head as a souvenir."
Xie Xun was speechless. Did anyone take a "human head" as a souvenir? This is considered a "trophy", so he said: "Throw it away, it is troublesome to hold it in your hands."
Song Yuanqiao nodded and left.
Xie Xun waited for a while and saw Song Yuanqiao coming back empty-handed.
Xie Xun let Song Yuanqiao into his bedroom, hoping to tell Lu Daoyuan tomorrow before finding a way to leave.
Before dawn, the sound of hurried footsteps woke Xie Xun and Song Yuanqiao, and the pursuing officers and soldiers arrived.
Naturally, the Lu family couldn't let go of the city-wide search. Fortunately, Lu Daoyuan was also very powerful. The officers and soldiers who came to search were quite civilized. Moreover, the thieves who dared to kill the officials also made Lu Daoyuan worried. What if they really sneaked into the Lu Mansion? It was unpredictable, so he cooperated very well with the officers and soldiers.
Xie Xun didn't panic, asked Song Yuanqiao to change into ordinary clothes, and opened the door calmly.
Lu Daoyuan was afraid that the soldiers would be rude and attack his family members, so he asked Lu Xian to lead a search of houses one by one.
Lu Xian was startled when he saw Song Yuanqiao walking out of Xie Xun's room. He had never seen this person before. Fortunately, he was experienced. He just looked at Xie Xun and didn't say much.
Xie Xun first asked: "Manager, what's the matter?"
Lu Xian said: "The government is looking for the thief who killed the prefect and wants to search."
Xie Xun nodded and said to the officers and soldiers: "Xie Xun, I am a friend of Mr. Lu. This is my brother Xie Qiao. I also have a brother Xie Hu next door."
After saying "Xiao Hu'er", Xie Hu came out from next door.
Lu Xian hurriedly stepped forward and said to the leader of the army: "This is our master's business partner. He is here to discuss business with us."
The leading officer and soldier looked at Xie Xun. Although they didn't know what the thief who killed the prefect looked like, but he must not be as tall as Xie Xun, they still asked: "It's so late, what is he doing in your room?"
He raised his hand and pointed at Song Yuan Bridge.
Xie Xun clasped his fists and said, "I have some business matters to give him."
The leader just asked casually. It was said that the thief was very skilled in martial arts. Xie Xun was the oldest of the three, but he was only in his twenties, but his body shape was seriously inconsistent. Song Yuanqiao looked like he was not even twenty years old. He looked like a scholar, not unlike Xie Hu looked like he had practiced martial arts, but he was younger and didn't look like a master. With the Lu family as his guarantor, there should be no problem, so he thought about it and turned around to leave.
Lu Xian glanced at Xie Xun and then at Song Yuanqiao, asking questions.
Xie Xun smiled and waved his hand. Lu Xian didn't dare to say more at this time, otherwise the Lu family would never be able to get away with it.
Early the next morning, Lu Daoyuan came to see Xie Xun, and it seemed that he had received a report from Lu Xian.
Xie Xun didn't hide anything and said directly: "It was my friend who killed the prefect."
Lu Daoyuan just lamented that the prefect was killed, but he didn't expect that the murderer was Xie Xun's friend, and Xie Xun was also a little embarrassed. But he couldn't sell Xie Xun, so he had to endure it, but he really didn't want to come into contact with these lawless people.
Lu Daoyuan asked: "Then what do you want to do next?"
Xie Xun said: "Let's go out of the city. He wants to go out of the city, and I want to go out of the city too. I don't know when it will be possible. Let's stay for a few days and check the situation."
Lu Daoyuan looked at his nonchalant look and was speechless. Such a person was so confident in his martial arts that he didn't care about the predicament at hand.
Originally, he wanted to keep Xie Xun for a few more days, but now he just wanted to send these people away quickly, lest something happen and the Lu family would suffer.
Xie Xun asked Song Yuanqiao about the situation in Wudang Mountain.
Song Yuanqiao said: "We used the money left by Brother Xie to buy some properties at the foot of the mountain to support our daily expenses. We also recruited a few Taoist boys to do chores, but we did not recruit any more disciples."
Xie Xun smiled and said: "Zhenzhen Zhang cannot accept a disciple as an ordinary person. If his qualifications and conduct are not enough, he cannot be a disciple of Wudang."
Song Yuanqiao blushed a little when he heard him praising him in disguise, but felt extremely happy in his heart. He said humbly: "Thank you, brother, for the award."
Xie Xun said: "Then when you came out to kill that corrupt official this time, did you collect some gold and silver from him?"
Song Yuanqiao blushed and said, "I am doing it for chivalry, and I am not coveting his money. How can I take his money?"
Xie Xun said: "I'm just asking. There's nothing wrong with robbing the rich and giving to the poor."
Zhang Sanfeng was good at selecting and teaching disciples. Although he was a bit pedantic, he did walk and sit upright. There are many people who "rob the rich" and are easily addicted, but there are not many people who "help the poor".
Within two days, Lu Daoyuan sent Xie Xun a "pass". The lockdown continued, but it could not stop everyone.
Xie Xun took the "pass" and saw Lu Daoyuan's eagerness to let Song Yuanqiao leave. He smiled and said, "Uncle Lu must have spent a lot of money to get us out of the city so quickly."
Lu Daoyuan said angrily: "If you stay here, I will always get flustered and you will cause trouble for me."
Xie Xun laughed dryly and said, "Even if it happens, I can't just ignore it. The expenses this time will be mine."
Lu Daoyuan waved his hand and said, "Leave quickly, I don't want to be dragged down by you."
Xie Xun was not surprised. He hugged his fists, said goodbye to Lu Daoyuan, and left the city calmly.
Song Yuanqiao said to Xie Xun: "Brother Xie, I'm going back now. Master has been thinking about you, why don't you come back to Wudang Mountain with me to stay for a while?"
Xie Xun thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Let's go again if we have the chance. I plan to go to Dadu to see what the core of the Mongolian people is like. Let's just leave here."
As he spoke, he took out a three hundred taels of gold banknote from his arms and handed it to Song Yuanqiao, saying: "Establishing a sect is not a simple matter. There are many things. Master Zhang has the temperament of Xianyun Yehe. Your junior brothers are young. Everything depends on you, the great disciple, to take care of it. I have no shortage of money. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me, and you should not waste your energy on such mundane things."
Song Yuanqiao wanted to refuse, but Xie Xun waved his hand and said: "Zhang Zhenzhen has treated me well and has never been reluctant to part with Wudang's secret knowledge. This little money is nothing. I give you this money because I want you to focus all your energy on the lintel of Guangmen. , take less detours.”
Song Yuanqiao took the banknote and said, "Thank you very much, brother."
Xie Xun cupped his fists and said, "See you later." He turned around and left with Xie Hu.
As the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, Dadu was the leading metropolis in the world in this era. With the Mongols' conquests in Eurasia, population mobility increased, and a large number of Semu people appeared, showing a trend of internationalization.
I searched all over the capital but couldn't find Ruyang Prince's Mansion.
Xie Xun couldn't help but laugh in his heart: "Chahan Timur may be younger than himself, and he is far from the time to make a fortune."
Walking on the streets of Yuandadu, you can feel the rare prosperity. Groups of tantric lamas swagger through the streets, displaying their superior status.
Looking at this group of lamas, it brought back some of Xie Xun's memories of Tantric Buddhism, and also reminded him of a great Tantric Buddhism master in Jin Yong's world - Jin Lun Dharma King. The "Dragon and Elephant Prajna Kung Fu", a magical protective skill of Tantric Buddhism, is not weaker than the peerless martial arts of "Nine Yang Manual", which also gave Xie Xun the idea of traveling to XZ again.
This trip to Dadu yielded very little, and it was considered a trip. At his word, Xie Xun led Xie Hu out of Dadu and headed straight for XZ.
During the Yuan Dynasty, Tibetan Buddhism had a respected status, and the leading one was the Sakya sect of Phagpa, which was closely related to the royal family.
However, Xie Xun did not visit the Sakya Sect during this trip. Instead, he went to Tsurbu Monastery, which is located 70 kilometers west of LS.
This is the main temple of the Karma Kagyu sect. The reincarnation system of Tibetan Buddhism was pioneered here and was later promoted by other sects.
