It was eight in the morning when Fa Ming led the group to outside of Red Light Temple Mountain gate. Fa Ming stopped the procession, and went forward to take a look. Seeing that the mountain gate was tightly shut and the walls neatly arranged, the courtyard was completely silent. Ru Feng knocked on the door knocker and shouted: "friend inside, open! "Open the door!" No one replied to his shouts. Everyone was puzzled.
Master Fishskin said, "Logically speaking, they should have opened the mountain gate wide for us. Is the owner of this place treating us slow, or is he deliberately refusing us like this? "
No one could figure it out. Fa Ming said: "No matter what, we should at least understand everything once we get here. Don't make Japanese enemies think that we're afraid of them and say things out loud. " The bronze-headed Arhat once again knocked on the door and shouted, "Open the door! "Open the door!"
So Mie Fa and the one who had presided over Red Light Temple had a rule that he wouldn't be able to wake up until he was asleep. The other monks followed suit and did not get up early to council. They all said, "Life is better at home."
At this time, Mie Fa and Xu Kong were respectively sleeping with a woman. Only the mischievous monk was still sleeping soundly. At this moment, he had already woken up from his slumber. Suddenly he heard someone knocking on the door of the mountain, and he hurriedly got up, put on his cloak, and went out to see. Hearing someone knocking on the door and shouting, he walked up to open it and saw a neat line of people holding large flags and all dressed neatly. They were both male and female monks, all of whom seemed to have everything they should be. Seeing that his clothes were disheveled and his face had yet to be washed, he felt ashamed. He mumbled to himself, "What's going on with all of you?"
The bronze-headed Arhat said, "Senior Brother, what are you waiting for? This is the person who was invited to the martial arts competition. " The mischievous thing asked in surprise, "What martial arts competition? With whom? How come I didn't know? " Hearing that he didn't know of this matter, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Originally, the Japanese side had never sent anyone to contact them. They knew that there were people from the Chaoyang Temple here, and were afraid that there would be rumors that there were people from the Chaoyang Temple. It was also a big place with many houses and a wide courtyard. They knew it well. They thought that they could make the temporary arrangements in time. Tabata Takashi planned to destroy this place along with the people from the Chaoyang Temple if they really came, and then frame these bandits. The people from the Chaoyang Temple always thought that Mie Fa and the others were in cahoots with Tabata Takashi, and in the end, did not send anyone to contact him.
Seeing that the mischievous thing did not seem to know, the iron-headed man walked out of the troop and said, "Five days ago the Japanese sent people to challenge us. They arranged for us to compete here today. How could Senior Brother not know? Do not fill in the blessings and keep the riddles to yourself. "
The mischievous thing said in surprise, "I really don't know about this matter. Our senior apprentice-brother, the abbot, didn't give us a share. Wait here for a moment, I will go ask for an explanation and have him come out to receive us. "
The mischievous thing turned around and ran back into its own room, it anxiously washed its face, tidied up its clothes, and then came to Mie Fa's front and shouted: "Senior Brother, quickly get up! Outside the mountain gate, a group of friend s had come over and were waiting to receive them. They said they were here to compete with the Japanese. Why didn't you give this matter to us earlier! He could prepare for it. You're too preoccupied with the affairs of your children to care about anything else. Now that things have happened so suddenly and time has come to a standstill, we don't even have a person to pick up, yet we're all still sleeping. This is too disgraceful. Amongst those people, there are even senior elders. " The other monks in the room were also awakened. Some were putting on their clothes, while others ran out to see what was going on.
Mie Fa was mesmerized by Deng Deng's wake up, and was confused by his words. He took off his blanket, put on his clothes, and asked: "Idiot, who told you this? How could I not know? If I knew, how could I not tell you? " One of them was outside, while the other was outside, complaining to each other. No matter what Mie Fa said, the mischievous thing would not believe him.
Mie Fa said helplessly: "Stop fighting, even if I missed something. What did the people outside say? "
The mischievous thing said unhappily: "I heard from Chaoyang Temple and iron head Arhat that it was still the Japanese battlefield chosen five days ago that sent them a written challenge. The written challenge agreed that both of them would compete here today and fight to the death. You are the abbot, how could you not know? You must have a lustful heart for women. "
Mie Fa heard that he was still complaining, and his expression changed, "I honestly do not know about this matter. Neither of them told me. Junior Brother, you misunderstand. What have I hidden from you? What was the mistake? This might have been fabricated by someone, or it might have been a joke. This is our temple, and if they are competing here, I will have to nod in agreement. Someone must have played tricks on our Chaoyang Temple. "
The two of them met up in the corridor, and the mischievous thing said, "Senior Brother, I believe what you said. However, the fight between the two fighters was real. They arrived in neat formation with banners and more than forty people. Moreover, Chaoyang Temple were not so easy to deceive. The Japanese had lost their match there. It was time to change the venue. Let's go out and receive them! "
Mie Fa was also very anxious: "Quickly go find them, gather the monks and wait in the great hall. We'll bring them in and ask. If we really are going to fight, we can immediately get ready. " The mischievous thing turned around and hurriedly walked away.
Mie Fa went back to his room to wash his face and after a moment of confusion, he tied up his clothes, put on his cassock, put on the Pilu Crown and was about to come out. After some careful thought, "This is strange." He went back into the house and opened the curtain. He asked the woman, "Beauty, you and the Japanese have been in contact for a long time. Do you know about the Japanese coming here today to compete in kung fu? "
The woman, who was lying in bed listening, also exclaimed, "How would I know? What nonsense are you spouting! I'm married to you now. Why do you say that about me? "
She continued in a coquettish tone, "I've been locked in my room for the past few days. If I didn't leave your side, how could I have gotten in touch with those Japanese people?" She was also angered to the point that she had to take off her blanket, revealing her fair skin. She wore her clothes and wanted to go out to see him.
Mie Fa went forward and embraced her, saying gently, "Beauty, don't piss me off. I asked it by accident, and it's all right if you don't know it. "What I said just now, count me as farting." He was afraid that she would go out and make a fool of herself.
She giggled and said, "Don't show your face, stay in the house. The people outside are all ugly, all of them ugly. I'm afraid I'll scare the beauty. "
The woman had a hairpin wrapped around her head. Her voice was soft, and she did have a certain charm to her. Mie Fa once again went to kiss her and coax her. You must not go out. "
The woman saw that he was happy and was very angry. She slapped Mie Fa: "Are you happy? He didn't know that he was being toyed with. The Japanese are inhumane, and I know they don't have a good idea. Compared to Wu Dai, they must be fighting to the death. None of you will escape. If they took me back to the barracks, I'd be worse off than dead. Even though I'm Japanese, I'm willing to spend my life with you. Take me to a safe place where I can't hear any gunfire. I never want to see those Japanese men again. "
Mie Fa calmly thought about it, and since he had nowhere to hide, he comforted her: "Miss, I wonder how much suffering you have suffered in Japan, and how much you hate him. They treat you badly? "
The woman said, "I am a woman that they would flirt with. Do you understand? It was the comfort woman. "It was my friend who saw me suffer and sent me and the buckwheat to this place."
Mie Fa panicked: I didn't know you suffered so much, the Japanese are not human! Don't worry, this is the safest place. As long as you don't go out. I and my fellow junior brothers will be there to protect you. We all have martial arts, so none of them dared to touch you. " The woman calmed down, half believing and half doubting. She quickly went to wash up and prepare to escape.
Mie Fa turned around and closed the door. He said out of thin air, "This does not seem to be a good omen. My woman told me to bring her away."
Mie Fa said: "Women are cowardly, do not listen to her. I'm a woman, too, and I'm running away. Let's go, who shall we give our huge family property to?! We all have martial arts skills, what's there to be afraid of? Why are you so anxious? Bring them in and ask. Even if they were to compete in martial arts, they can only fight against each other. There's no reason for them to fight against us. "
After thinking about it for a bit, he said, "I think so too. We preside over the scene, why do they beat us? It didn't matter. "Women are afraid of themselves." The two laughed heartily and went to the main hall to bring their outstanding monks to be received outside the mountain gate.
At this time, everyone was also making guesses outside the mountain gate. The bronze head arhat said: "Mie Fa is crafty, don't listen to them saying that they don't know. They had already colluded with the Japanese. In doing so, they are trying to confuse us and shirk responsibility. I'm afraid we won't be able to spare them once this happens. The people here killed their fellow cultivators. Their words were devoid of humanity, and they did not mean what they said. Their hearts were vicious, and they harboured malicious intents. No matter what Mie Fa and the others say when they come out, or what tricks they use, no one would believe him. We will definitely not forgive him in the future! "
Everyone was discussing fervently, and hated Mie Fa to the core. Mie Fa led the monks and came over. When he got closer, Mie Fa spoke a few polite words. First, he paid his respects to Fa Ming and the others, then said: "Fellow Elders, Fellow friend s, and Fellow Guests, please forgive the fact that this matter happened too suddenly, and that the my humble self was late to welcome you."
He bowed deeply to everyone. He said, "Everyone, don't glare at me. It is not that I am deliberately neglecting you all. As you know, no one contacted me in advance. my humble self panicked. Please forgive me, Kahn! Please come to the main hall for a chat. "
Fa Ming looked in every direction as he listened to him speak. Mie Fa was of average height, dressed neatly and looked to be about thirty years old. He had a round, fat head and a slightly unusual temperament between his brows. Behind him stood the Monk in the air. He was tall and fierce, and his eyes were rolling in the face of the crowd. He was also not like a kind person. Behind the two of them, eighteen monks stood neatly in a row with three people. The mischievous thing stood next to Mie Fa.
Fa Ming returned the greeting, "Thank you for welcoming us. We, the guest, will follow the host. " Everyone cupped their hands towards Mie Fa and the rest. Mie Fa pointed back: "Everyone, please!" The mischievous thing led the way, welcoming everyone into the courtyard to stop, then bringing Fa Ming and the other people into the great hall to discuss the reason.
Everyone sat down as the host, and Mie Fa said: "I would like to ask various friend s, what exactly do you need from my Red Light Temple?"
The Iron Head Arhat could not endure it any longer and said, "Senior Brother, don't put on an act! Five days ago, at the Japanese army camp, Commander Tabata Takashi sent us a challenge. It was agreed that today's battle would be a decisive one. Not arriving at the appointed time would count as surrender. How could you not know about such a big matter? I assume that you and the Japanese have planned this out in unison. Don't try to be sentimental and argue with us. Now, no one can blame you for your kindness. Speak up. "
