Chapter 197 Chapter 197
White Horse Temple is not very far from Luoyang City, at least not very far for Jianghu people. However, since Song Lehe was too lazy to find a horse, he came here on his legs, which made Lin Pingzhi very tired. This kid had a pretty good foundation in Qinggong, but his internal strength was not good enough. He looked like he was going to be hollowed out halfway through the run, but Song Lehe was able to resist him in the end.
When they arrived at Baima Temple, Song Lehe did not rush to find Master Mu. Instead, he went to the main hall to worship first, and then asked Zhike Monk how to enshrine a Buddha statue here. After learning about this situation, he asked Zhike Monk whether the Mu Taoist from Wudang was at the White Horse Temple. He heard from Lu Xiaofeng that he had seen the Mu Taoist.
Although he didn't know what the relationship between Song Yi and Mu Taoist was, whether he wanted to have a sword fight, Zhike Monk still answered him honestly. Mu Taoist was at Baima Temple and was meeting with the host.
"It's getting late. I'm afraid the city gate will be locked when I return to the city. Please ask the master to prepare a guest house for me and my friends." Song Lehe said with a smile, "I don't know where Mu Taoist is now. I'm sorry. Mu Taoist has been curious for a long time and wanted to visit the senior earlier."
Zhike Monk didn't seem surprised by Song Lehe's suggestion, and Song Lehe soon found out the reason during the chat. Because Song Lehe is not the first person to visit Mu Taoist. Although Mu Taoist claims to be "the best in chess and wine, and the third in swordsmanship," his strength is also among the best in the world. There are many people who admire him or want to ask him for advice.
According to the monk who knows the guest, Mu Tao Ren has been living here for more than a month. He and the abbot of White Horse Temple have been chess friends for many years. This time he stayed longer than usual to make peony wine, so the news that Mu Tao Ren is here is not secret. In addition to the Wang family's birthday banquet, many young people came to visit Mu Taoist, and Song Lehe was not outstanding among them.
Walking into a quiet courtyard, Song Lehe saw a Taoist priest with a pale face and a fairy-like spirit. He was probably Mu Taoist. There was a game of chess placed in front of him, and he didn't know whether he was playing chess against himself or trying to figure out the endgame.
"You're here just in time," Mu Taoist waved to Song Lehe and said, "Young man, play chess with me for a while."
Song Lehe came over and took a look. Very good, he can't play Go. He turned to look at Lin Pingzhi and asked, "Can you do it?"
Lin Pingzhi had indeed learned it, but his level of martial arts was the same as that of a three-legged cat. At this time, facing Mu Taoist, who was "the best in Go", he was really I can't say the word "will".
Finding that Lin Pingzhi was also silent, Song Lehe turned to Taoist Mu and said: "I'm sorry, senior, I'm afraid neither of us can accompany you to play chess. How about drinking or sword fighting, I can accompany you to the end for both of them." "
Oh, he is indeed Lu Xiaofeng's friend, and he actually tried to trick me into drinking wine when we met." Mu Taoren did not mention the sword competition at all, but complained, "I was cheated out of fifty when I met Lu Xiaofeng last time." The pear blossoms are white this year, and the peony wine this time has not been finished yet, so he came to coax my wine. I know he is always thinking about my wine, so I shouldn't let him see it today."
"Senior . You misunderstood me, I have always been a companion when drinking..." Song Lehe sat down opposite Mu Taoist's chessboard without any courtesy and started chatting with him.
Lin Pingzhi listened with some blank eyes. Although he didn't know how these two people confirmed their identities in a tacit understanding even though they didn't introduce themselves. As for Lu Xiaofeng, the center of their conversation, it was more of a common topic that allowed both parties to become familiar with each other as quickly as possible. When they got into the middle of the conversation, the topic of Song Lehe and Mu Daoren left their common friend.
After dinner and sitting in the guest room, Lin Pingzhi felt exhausted both physically and mentally. There were so many things that happened today, from helping his uncle entertain the guests in the morning, to being scared when he discovered that his family had actually walked around the cliff, to coming to the White Horse Temple and trying to listen to the chat between Song Yi and Mu Taoren. He is now I feel like I can barely open my eyes.
On the contrary, Song Lehe was still walking around the table in high spirits, obviously still thinking about something.
"You are a well-known hero, why don't you even have a horse?" Lin Pingzhiqiang complained with all his strength. This was the most puzzling point for him today. If he hadn't come here with Qinggong on his legs, he wouldn't be so tired.
"Because it's in the way, and the horse can't run as fast as me." Song Lehe glanced at Lin Pingzhi, and was quite speechless about his physical strength and internal strength. He had previously thought that Lin Pingzhi should be able to keep up with him at this distance. Promise to take him with you, otherwise he will send him back to the Wang family.
Lin Pingzhi, who had clearly experienced the speed of Song Le and Qinggong, could not refute. At most, he complained in his heart that Song Yi did not know how to enjoy it, but what he said was: "What are you thinking about? You and Mu Taoist chatted for so long just now. Have you come to some conclusions?"
"Well," Song Lehe said thoughtfully, "I just came to Luoyang yesterday. It is normal for Mu Taoist to know that I am Lu Xiaofeng's friend, but to recognize me so naturally in a Buddhist temple is surprising. Too fast. It was my first time to enter a Buddhist temple, and I didn’t have the same obvious appearance features as Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows. He didn’t show any surprise when he saw me. Someone mentioned in front of him that I might come to see him. "He"
was not Song Lehe, but Mu Taoren, who seemed to have reminded him of this matter vaguely when he was talking to him before. And judging from what he complained about, including that none of the previous guests were as polite as him, there may be more than one wave of people coming to see him.
"Speaking of which, I'm also very confused. Isn't Mu Taoist famous for his leisurely clouds and wild cranes? The Zhike monks said that many young people from the world came to visit. Why hasn't he left yet, or refused to see the guests?" Song Lehe said to himself Said.
"Could it be because of the leader's decision?" Lin Pingzhi, who had just seen how cowardly Linghu Chong's disciple was to his master, the leader of the Huashan Sect, came up with an idea.
"Head?" Song Lehe was not sure. "The current head of the Wudang Sect succeeded his master. His master's position as head was given by Mu Tao Ren. Therefore, the current head of the Wudang Sect is not as good as Mu Tao Ren." I have always respected my uncle, otherwise I wouldn't have let him run around the world. It's hard to say that he would obey the master's nephew's decision and do things that are inconsistent with his character."
Song Lehe suddenly changed the topic: "Although the master's nephew will. Taoist Mu may not listen to his orders, but it would be different if it concerns the Wudang Sect. "He still remembered that the Sun Moon God Sect still had the secret books and swords that he had snatched from the Wudang Sect.
"It's useless to keep it anyway, why not persuade Dongfang to return the things." Song Lehe muttered, but he also knew that the success rate was not high. Dongfang may indeed not care about the secret book, but he must care about his own face. The owner of the thing that his senior grabbed didn't even bother to ask. He just gave it to people for no reason. Doesn't it look like he was afraid?
Song Le He Yue felt that the Wuyue Sword Sect had probably contacted the Wudang Sect. Even if the two parties had not reached a cooperation, they probably had some tacit understanding. Mu Daoren was probably one of the people in charge. After all, he hangs out all day long, and it doesn't seem strange to appear anywhere. Moreover, his martial arts skills are high enough, and I'm afraid he can be worthy even against Dongfang.
Speaking of this, Song Lehe felt quite puzzled as to why the Wudang Sect didn't let the Mu Taoists go to the Sun Moon God Sect and directly snatch their things back.
The polite people Mu Dao said were probably from the Five Mountains Sword Sect. After all, they were looking for cooperation, so who did the less polite people he said come from? Although they might also be rookies in the world, However, it will be specifically mentioned by Mu Taoist, it should not be so simple. Moreover, Mu Daoren reminded him like this, did it go against the intention of the Wudang Sect leader to ask him to come? Did he and the Wudang Sect leader have different opinions? But why would he agree?
The more he thought about it, Song Lehe felt that Mu Daoren His attitude is also very strange. There seems to be a subtle difference between his position and that of the Wu-Tang Clan. But even if he really went over the wall and asked now, he would definitely not be able to find out anything. Song Lehe's judgment of Mu Taoist's attitude was based on the detection of the accessory brain, not the attitude shown by Mu Taoist.
For example, he actually mentioned a lot of young people who came to visit him and praised a lot of them, but most of them he said were in a stable physiological state when they came, which is the same as saying there was a leaf here. Only a few times, he would have some slight emotions towards the young people he was talking about, such as anger, happiness, or vigilance. His expression could not be seen, but hormones and mental fluctuations could not deceive others.
Song Lehe doesn't often use this function because it is greatly affected by the environment, but it does work wonders in such a quiet place with few people. It's impossible for Mu Taoren to chat with him. He is still thinking about things that are completely unrelated to the present. Moreover, Song Lehe specially asked a few more questions to ensure the accuracy of the data.
Putting aside Mu Taoist's position for the time being, Song Lehe had two guesses about the people who came to him but were not very polite: First, he discovered that the Five Sacred Sword Sect came to find Mu Taoist, so he came to warn his disciples of the Sun Moon God Sect. . But it's hard to explain. How could the disciples of the Sun Moon Sect have the confidence to threaten Mu Taoist? Secondly, some people learned about the cooperation between the Wuyue Sword Sect and the Wudang Sect and wanted to intervene. However, their attitude was impolite. Did they think that Is the Wudang Sect not sincere enough in cooperating?
Song Lehe felt that he should not be able to find any clues here. The people who were looking for Mu Taoist should have already been here. He seemed to be more than a little late. Staying here may be able to wait until the Wuyue Sword Sect continues to send people to contact Mu Taoist, but it is more likely to wait until the news of Mu Taoist's departure. After all, he has been here for more than a month, right?
Oh, I don't know Wang Lian Can Hua find out where the blue scorpion is? If he can find it, he will go directly and handle the matter completely, so as not to have to worry about it. Song Lehe didn't like Wang Yunmeng very much and didn't really want to continue to deal with her.
"Let's go back to the city tomorrow," Song Lehe said to Lin Pingzhi, who was almost asleep. "I hope Lu Xiaofeng has found Sikong Zhaixing by then."
