So it turns out that this fake Jin Shi was a brave general named De Sheng. He was afraid that the Japanese enemies would not dare to come after hearing the news of Jin Shi's arrival. Along the way, he ordered soldiers not to shout, not to smoke, to move quickly. Thus, they unknowingly arrived at the foot of the mountain. After he was done with his arrangements, he immediately followed Li Yong to the mountain to meet Si Kong and Fa Ming. They were halfway there. In order to fool others, he had to pretend that he was serious.
Approaching, De Sheng cupped his hands towards Si Kong and said: ”Clan Elder, I, the chief, greet you. I have a hundred and twenty brothers with me. The procession was already at the foot of the mountain. I guarantee your safety. ” The Si Kong bowed and said: ”Thank you for your help. Please come to my Zen Hall for a chat. ”
Si Kong, Fa Ming led De Sheng and Li Yong to the temple's Zen Hall, where they would like to meet with the others. The fake Golden Stone De Sheng was afraid that he would be recognized by others, so he lowered his head and waved his hand to reject everyone. He turned to Si Kong and said, ”I am not a three-headed six-armed man, but I do not think it is. I, Jin, have already received your feelings. ”Elder, please do not let too many people in, and even more so, do not spectate.”
Everyone laughed and said, ”Chief Jin sure is generous. He doesn't want to show any face and refuses to meet with us. We can only accept.” Ru Feng had already seen through the flaw, he did not say anything, and said to everyone: ”Chief Jin Zhai will do it in secret, he is afraid of revealing it, fine, let us go sit in the front.” He led the group to the front.
The four of them entered the room and sat down. De Sheng said, ”I was expecting the Japanese to come, so we would not dare to announce our presence in public. Whether they were in plain clothes or in disguise as bandits, they had to be one of the two. They can also frame the Chinese after the crime is committed. He was in our favor. When that time comes, I will do as I've said and fight him like a bandit who's going to start a war and destroy him. ”
Fa Ming said: ”The chief's guess is right, Tabata Takashi is good at dressing up. They would definitely come to put on makeup. He used many of his Japanese troops to commit the crime in public, fearing to be condemned by the Chinese military. ”He will most likely disguise himself as a bandit.”
De Sheng said: ”In the future, all of you can claim that the people from the Golden Stone Stronghold have come here, and even robbed you, to confuse the enemy.” Si Kong nodded in agreement.
After Yanqing offered tea, the four analyzed the enemy's situation further. Li Yong said: ”I wonder how many people Tabata Takashi will bring this time. We must divide our forces to meet the enemy. If he wanted to exterminate everyone in the Chaoyang Temple, he would have to act separately. He must have known that it was impossible for everyone here to go to the Red Light Temple. ”It's not that many of us have come.”
De Sheng said: ”I guess there won't be many people coming. The Japanese army has always been known for its elite. They were well-armed, well-trained, and quite capable. They're dealing with a bunch of unarmed people, so there's a lot of people that can come in their thirties or forties. ”
Li Yong said: ”We will allocate the people here, a portion of them will be disguised as monks, while the martial artists will go with them to the Red Light Temple competition; the other portion will guard the temple hall to prevent ambushes; a large group of people will rush to the back of the mountain to ambush us before the sun shines. We have already sent scouts to the Red Light Temple area. ”
Si Kong and Fa Ming listened to the detailed plan without any loopholes, and said with relief, ”We will also follow the Stronghold Master's arrangements.” De Sheng said, ”Tianming, there shouldn't be too many people going. If there are too many people, it would not be convenient for them to retreat flexibly in case of an emergency. ”
Si Kong and Fa Ming both nodded in agreement. De Sheng asked the Si Kong to explain the terrain around the Red Light Temple again. The Si Kong explained in detail to him, using the form of a physical object on the table.
De Sheng had an idea in his heart, and said: ”Your mission is to display a fighting stance, and lure the enemy in. When the gun sounds come out, your people will retreat towards the ditch to the west of Red Light Temple. I'll arrange for reinforcements there. ” After the four of them discussed the matter, Li Yong and De Sheng immediately went back to the mountain and assigned the soldiers to not mention it.
Daybreak, the Si Kong gathered a large group of people and issued a decree, ordering Fa Ming and Ru Feng to host the competition. The two received the order in public, and then they kowtowed in front of the Buddha, praying for peace. Then, Fa Ming announced the people who were going to the Red Light Temple Academy according to the list he had drawn up last night.
Everyone scrambled to go, but Fa Ming said: ”Everyone, don't fight, we are going to fight with the enemies; whoever is at home is going to fight with the enemy, prepare to fight. Because Tabata Takashi planned to kill all of us, he knew that it was impossible for all of us to go there. Those of you who remain will stay with your brothers in the Gold and Stone strongholds to guard the temple. At that time, let's work together and fight against each other. ”
At this point, everyone stopped fighting and was willing to stay and defend. Fa Ming picked up the name list and started counting. The nine monks, such as the Bronze-headed Arhat, the Iron Head Arhat, the Qinggang Toddler; the Kurun Lama; the heroine Cao Yunfeng, the Quyun Feng; the famous Sichuan Three Hero, the Ju Man, the Witch Two and the Little Hero; the Five Sisters of Jilin; the fishskin of the Heilongjiang River, the Gao Han Monastery and the World Cultivators; the White Hair Palace of Liaoning, the Pearl of Guang Han Palace, the Golden Flower Mother of the Niu Gao Temple; the Taoist Ordos; the monk Jiershen of Ku Island, the Taoist Jeli Li, and the Vetrodified Taoist. Adding Fa Ming, Ru Feng and the ten soldiers who were putting on makeup, there was a total of more than 40 people. The other people all stayed to guard the Chaoyang Temple.
After Fa Ming finished counting the people, he lined up, bragging and beating them painfully with the gongs and drums to symbolize victory. After that, each of them carried their weapons and raised the banners of their Chaoyang Temple high. The procession majestically left the mountain gate, followed the mountain road, and headed towards the Southern Mountains Red Light Temple. At this time, De Sheng led a large group of people and had already reached the predetermined location, and was ready to meet the enemy.
