"What happened to your temple?" Buddha asked in shock.

"An English gangster came in the night with a sharp knife and incense," he said. "He first killed two of our monks, then sneaked into the house and deceived everyone with incense and stole one of our treasures."

The Longevity Buddha exclaimed, "The foreign devils here are really acting so arrogantly?"

"Unless there are no foreign devils," said the abbot, "one can live a peaceful life. Our National Protecting Temple is not an ordinary place. Even foreign devils would dare to plot against us. How could their actions be arrogant? "And he's so arrogant."

The Buddha said, "As long as the country does not reclaim its lost sovereignty, exorcise the foreign devils and reclaim its lost territory, we will never be at peace." "Fellow Daoist, you're absolutely right." We suffer from the anger of foreign devils, and the root of our suffering is that our country has lost its sovereignty, and our laws cannot restrain the foreigners. "

The Buddha said, "If we do not overthrow Yuan Shikai's rule and restore the democratic republic, we cannot expel the foreign devils and it will be even harder to reclaim our sovereignty. All the people in the Northeast have seen through this point, and therefore supported Cai Songpo in his campaign against Yuan Shikai. People from all walks of life in the Northeast were talking about Yuan Shikai and his corrupt officials, saying that they were seeking personal gains, pursuing personal greatness and betraying national and national interests. To overthrow the rule of Yuan Shikai has become the aspiration of all. "

"General Cai Songpo is organizing a massive uprising to overthrow Yuan Shikai," said Rufeng. There is also a high chance of getting rid of the outsiders and regaining their lost sovereignty. " When everyone heard this, they were immediately filled with confidence.

Everyone talked for a while longer before Buddha Longevity asked, "Why hasn't my little disciple come to see me? Is he not in the temple? "

Seeing that he was anxious to become a disciple, Fa Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, Fellow. "Master Fang sent his disciple into the city. He'll be back soon."

Buddha Longevity said, "I was also just about to enter the city to visit Eldest Disciple Guo Chengliang. I've been worried ever since he came to Beijing. When Yuan Shikai asked the marshal for him, I didn't approve of him. I made him follow the marshal wholeheartedly. The so-called near - red, near - black. Yuan Shikai has been a suspicious person all his life. I'm worried that my disciple won't be able to stay by his side. "I think Guo Chengliang should finally come to his senses."

"According to your Master and disciple, your disciple Yuan Shikai is a very good person," he said.

The Buddha continued, "This is an extraordinary time. I would like to advise you to resign your disciple's position and return to the Northeast to work. In the face of the war between the North and South, if he was with Yuan Shikai, it would be hard for him to not contribute to Yuan Shikai's efforts. "

"Fellow Daoist, you are absolutely right. You should advise this disciple to withdraw as soon as possible. This is what we should do."

"Yuan Shikai has a mob under his command," said Farmer Farmer. Yuan Shikai is faithful and adulterous. "

Buddha Longevity said, "My disciple has always been a straightforward person. Sooner or later, he will be ostracized and suffer a loss. "

Then the monk came in and said: "Master Fang, the guest's meal is ready. Please use it now. So I'll leave the stove empty and prepare for the welcoming banquet tonight. "

"We are in high spirits and have much in common," he said happily. "We really can't bring ourselves to end the talks. "Fellow Daoist, please go eat first. We'll discuss this after dinner." "For the past few days, I've been in a hurry to find a little disciple. He didn't eat well or sleep well, so he had accumulated anger in his heart. Now that I feel carefree and hungry. " Fatong went to eat with the Buddha of Longevity.

The three of them then discussed the Buddha of longevity. "I did not want this Northeast Monk to be so modest and friendly," said the Minister. "It is very different from what I have heard before. This person is worthy of respect. "

"I heard from someone that he had a different temper and was very quiet," said Farmer Farmer. Today, seeing each other was different. "It's really better to listen to the scenery than to see the scenery." However, Ruo Feng didn't look at it that way. He laughed. "Whoever goes to a foreign land will make a name for themselves." I see that the Buddha of longevity has a certain pride. "

At this moment, the little Daoist returned from the city. Seeing his dejected expression, Farmer asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling wronged? " The little Daoist shook his head. "What news did you hear?"

The little Taoist said: "The police handled the case yesterday and did not help the British. The English archbishop, Létimo, had come from Tianjin today to find out that Mary was dead. He went to the police station and urged them to take action today. The police have arrested some people and said they understand the case. The first to be caught were the boss and employees of Kun Yu Tang, as well as a few residents nearby. The other men had been caught by the police and used for their duties. The police did not help the British because the little boy from the Church of England refused to answer questions to the police. The little man was unreasonable when the police questioned him and scolded Chief Zheng. The police had analyzed and determined that the deaths of Maclay and Mary were the result of their conspiracy to commit a crime. Caused by exposure. It was also said that the case in the church had been committed by the servants of the Taihe Shop in the south of the city, and that they had already been apprehended. There was no reference to the National Guardian Temple. I was at the guard camp, listening to the officers talk. " When the abbot heard this, he fell into deep thought. Seeing that the little Daoist was crying, he immediately asked, "Why are you crying?"

The young Daoist said, "My eldest senior brother is in trouble. He was unknowingly taken captive by Yuan Shikai. " Everyone was shocked. "Tell me," said Farmer, "why was he taken into custody?"

The little Daoist shook his head and said, "That Eunuch Liu beside Yuan Shikai went to find my Senior Brother last night and claimed that President Yuan had something to discuss with him. My senior brother followed him into the palace to meet Yuan Shikai, but he never returned. When I arrived at my senior brother's house, Eunuch Liu brought another person and searched my senior brother's house, taking some unknown items. My wife asked him to follow her and find out what had happened. Deputy Xu was chased back by Eldest Young Master Yuan's men. I won't let you see my senior brother, and I won't tell you what happened. When Deputy Xu went to ask the Chief of Police, no one there was willing to divulge any information. "My martial sister is so worried that she's crying. She's still trying to persuade Deputy Xu to think of a way out."

The abbot listened in shock for a long time before saying, "Buddha of longevity is really far-sighted, and what he said is true. Battalion Commander Guo's calamity had arrived so quickly. This had to be the result of the skirmishes between officials. "The Buddha of Longevity is such a coincidence." The little Daoist immediately stopped crying and asked, "Is my master here?" "Where is he?" "Your master has been here for a long time. He's eating right now," he said. Don't alert him first. " How could the young Daoist be willing to listen? He turned around and ran to the dining hall.

"The Buddha does not come," Farmer said. We really have no way to save Commander Guo. This made things much easier. I heard that the Three Buddha of the Northeast are the upper echelons of the government. Buddha definitely has a way to save his disciple. " "Yuan Shikai has always been a cunning man," said Rufeng. The man he wanted to kill. It was hard to find. and there's something about it that's puzzling. " Because of this, the abbot became worried.

The little Taoist ran into the dining hall, where the Lifestyle Buddha was eating with Fatong and talking about politics. The little Taoist threw himself into the arms of the Buddha of Longevity. Buddha of Longevity put down his chopsticks and happily looked at the little Taoist. And he said, "My disciple, you have grown taller and fatter, and have become more beautiful than ever. It was really hard for me to find you. "

The little Daoist cried out, "Master, my eldest senior brother is in trouble. He was locked up by Yuan Shikai for no reason. Quickly think of a way to save him! "

The Longevity Buddha smiled and immediately asked, "Quickly tell me, why is he being held captive?"

The little Daoist said, "He was duped into going to the palace and being arrested. To this day, he is not allowed to see anyone, but for some reason. There's the possibility of a gunshot. " The Longevity Buddha said, "Heh! It is a pity that he did not listen to my advice back then.

Buddha asked the little Taoist about how Guo Chengliang was duped and how his family was doing.

"We understand the misfortune of your disciple," he said. As expected of the High Monk. Working for Yuan Shikai was like working with a tiger. Your disciple must have been framed. We just made up our minds that we need to get rid of the bell. Yuan Shikai had always been a cruel and merciless man. There were few who could beg for help from him. "The High Monk can only be released if he returns to Fengtian to find Marshal Zhang Zuolin."

The Buddha of Longevity nodded and said, "I thought of it too." Fine, I'll just rush back to Fengtian and look for Zhang Zuolin. "It's a good thing that my disciple is able to return to the Northeast for work." The Longevity Buddha warned the little Daoist and then quickly took his leave.

The abbot and the others sent the Buddha of Longevity to the streets, then watched it leave. At this time, the four little Daoist Masters returned from the Jade Cloud Temple. The four of them thought that their abbot was waiting to pick them up, so they hurriedly walked forward. "Why did you come back at this time?" the abbot asked the four. "Why is Yuan Ming not following us?"

"Last night, we went to the Jade Cloud Temple to ask people about Yuan Ming's whereabouts," said Pu Xian. We're looking for Yuan Ji, and he went out as well. Yuan Ji didn't return until daybreak. He went to the Temple of Great Consciousness. We asked him about Yuan Ming, but he refused to say anything. We went to look for the abbot elder and told him that our temple had been plotted against and killed by two people! Yuan Ming went back to change his shoes and witnessed the crime committed by the thieves! He never returned. If he didn't see Yuan Ming, he wouldn't know who the murderer was. Only then did Yuan Ji agree. Yuan Ji said: When Yuan Ming came from Chengdu, he stole one of his master's book, The Sect Leader's Secret Decree. He had always been anxious, afraid that his master would come and capture him. When he heard that his master Rufeng had come to Beijing, he was so frightened that he could not sit still and so restless day and night. He decided to find a quiet place in Shandong and cultivate behind closed doors to avoid his Master Rufeng. He went back to the temple to change his shoes and went to Shandong. He hasn't come back since he went out. He was probably in Tianjin by this time. If we do not believe Yuanzhi's words, we have searched all the temples in his area, but there is no Yuan Ming. We went back to the monastery, where a monk had seen Yuan Ming yesterday in the city. They said that Yuan Ming was carrying a bag of stuff and was walking in a fluster. He asked a few questions and then headed out of the city. "

Pu Ji continued, "I believe that Yuan Ming must have taken the treasure and fled to Tianjin. He must know that Master Ruo Feng is here. " Pu Feng said: "I have already asked that monk about the bag in Yuan Ming's hand. The size and shape are all correct, it's definitely because he obtained that bag of treasures. "

Everyone was tongue-tied and disappointed when they heard this. When Ru Feng found out that the Sect Leader's secret edict was stolen by Yuan Ming, he said angrily, "This unrepentant bastard, let's see where he can escape to! I personally went to Tianjin to get him. " After that, Rufeng left.

When he saw that Rufeng's anger had returned, he was deeply afraid that he would grab him and beat him up. Fa Ming advised, "Junior Brother, don't get angry yet. It would be better to find Yuan Ming and change him to someone else. If you go, he will definitely hide from you. The book is not lost in his hands, sooner or later it will be taken back. "

Rufeng was so angry he took a few steps forward and nodded. "The rivers and lakes are dangerous. Yuan Ming carries such a precious treasure with him. If he misses it, he will inevitably lose his life." We have to get him back. "

Fa Tong said anxiously, "Yuan Ming is indeed young!"

"Yuan Ming was the most amiable with me during the day. Since the matter was urgent, I will go and get him," said Fu Ming.

The abbot also said, "It's most appropriate for you to go. I think so too. "On this day, Yuan Ming has come into contact with you the most."

Farmer continued, "Yuan Ming's personality is a little cunning, and we should prevent him from hiding in the vicinity. After I leave, you will continue to search for him outside the city. This way, with both of us here, we can find him as soon as possible. "

Pu Xian was angered and said, "That guy Yuan Ming, I have long discovered his treacherous nature. He might be hiding from us on purpose, but I don't think it's appropriate for Master to go alone, so you might as well let me go too. "

Puji echoed, "Yes! We have more people to take him back. Since he dared to steal his master's things, it meant that he had forgotten about the benefits. He could be said to be extremely rich as he left with this treasure. He might want to make a fortune out of his own treasures. Why don't the four of us go with Master Farmer to capture him? "

"How can all of you say such bad things?! Was he not afraid of being rebuked by Rufeng's master? Right now, we are not going to denounce Yuan Ming, nor are we going to suppress him, so why do we need all of you to go? As for the matter between Master and disciple, don't carelessly contact them. "We are only trying to retrieve Yuan Ming." The four young cultivators' faces and ears were flushed red. They bowed their heads in silence.
