The bandits actually want to listen to the command of the monk?

The earth tiger next to Mai Ke quietly introduced that the local people have legends that the abbot's common surname is Yue, which is said to be the descendant of Yue Fei, the hero of the anti-gold war, and in order to avoid disaster, he built a temple here to hide;

Therefore, this bandit also began to settle here from that time, and it seems that he is guarding the safety of the monastery.

"Isn't there a strong monk in the monastery?"

Of the two targets he came, the monks of the monastery were the main ones.

According to Mai Ke's intelligence, the monks here are more than one level stronger than the monks of Shaolin Temple, and one can easily level the ten of Shaolin Temple.

"That's understandable. "The guide of Tuhu is really good, and he knows a little about the situation here: "The bandits of the scorched earth are only the peripheral force, blocking some small troubles, and the core force is still in the Yuntai Temple." ”

Knowing this, Mai Ke is not in a hurry to subdue the scorched earth, and will go to meet Abbot Yue first!

So, Mai Ke invited the scorched earth to get on the car and go to the top of the mountain.

The scorched earth grinned happily and happily boarded the train, not at all afraid.

made Mai Ke envious.

Mai Ke naturally likes this kind of arrogant personality, and as a meeting gift, he made a bottle of eighty degrees with him.

In the bitter cold land, Mr. Jiao Tuzu was born with a love for spirits in his blood.

After drinking this bottle of liquor that he had never drunk before, he directly upgraded Mai Ke to his best friend, ranking only below Abbot Yue.

Then along the way, he took the place of Tuhu and acted as a guide for Mai Ke, and at the same time revealed some information about Abbot Yue to him.

It turns out that all the abbots of the past dynasties came from the Yin Dynasty. That is, Yue Fei's hometown, which is generally the third son of the head of the Yue family.

In the specific division of labor, the eldest son, as the successor of the current head of the family, is the inevitable next head of the family, and this is the most important, and the thunder cannot be moved.

The second son inherits the legacy of his ancestors. Join the army and defend the country.

It depends on who the emperor is, so that it can be decided.

If it is the orthodoxy of the Han nationality, this second son must be from Rong, not necessarily a senior officer.

However, their own abilities are absolutely extraordinary, as they have all inherited the ancestral art of war, and it has been improved and enhanced over the generations.

Whether it can be used depends on whether the person in power has discernment.

And what if it's a foreign race? Then the Yue family couldn't bear it!

It is impossible for them to serve a non-Han regime.

In this way, the Yue family was tragic, and about half of the time had to die in old age, just like it is now during the reign of the Manchu Dynasty.

During this period, the Yue family would never come out to serve the Manchus.

If there is a surname Yue among those who worked for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is definitely not the real Yue family, and it will definitely not be the descendants of Yue Ye.

The Yue family also has an unwritten rule, that is, no matter how bad the emperor is. Even if they are aliens, they do not participate in the rebellion!

This tradition was also passed down by Yue Fei.

The third son. He was sent to Yuntai Temple and prepared to be the abbot.

If there is no accident, his abbot position will definitely not be able to run.

The scorched earth itself is different.

He was a bandit for the whole family, and only sent one son to Liuyin in each generation, and continued to follow the Yue family, also in order to ensure that in case of an accident. The Jiao family still has a queen.

After a short time, everyone saw the monastery, and the scorched earth continued to introduce it to everyone, and it seemed that he had not been missing there.

Yuntai Temple is located at the top of the main peak of Tongbai Mountain, with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters. It is a famous temple in southern Henan.

The temple has five halls and four courtyards, covers an area of more than 20,000 square meters, 39 halls of various kinds, and more than 100 large and small Buddha statues.

In fact, this place was first occupied by Taoists, and Taibaiding and Peach Blossom Cave were their main dojos.

But later, when the Yue family arrived, they used Buddhism to move Taoists to abandon the Tao and convert to Buddha.

Later, with the help of Yuanming, the monk and the county magistrate, he founded the Yuntai Temple on the top of the Taibai Peak, until now.

Every year, pilgrims from many cities, counties and cities in Henan and Hubei provinces form a group to enter the incense to the top, and the incense is quite prosperous, which is one of the holy places of Buddhism in the country.

In its heyday, there were more than 600 monks, and it had the reputation of "South Putuo, North Yuntai".

In addition to this Yuntai Temple, there is also a Water Curtain Zen Temple, in a mountain gorge not far from here.

Behind the hall, close to a 100-meter cliff, a mountain spring pours down from the top of the cliff, like a crystal curtain hanging in the air, a natural grotto on the upper part of the cliff is hidden behind the scenes, called the water curtain cave, the temple is named after it.

This is a branch of Yuntai Temple, all under the control of Abbot Yue.

While speaking, he had arrived in front of the gate of Yuntai Temple, the train stopped, Mai Ke walked down the door, and saw a clear old man standing in front of the door.

Look at the age is about fifty.

Scorched earth leads the way ahead.

The old man took the lead in speaking: "Brother Scorched Earth, who are the nobles you have brought, welcome to our temple!"

"Hello big brother! This is the chief steward of the kingdom of heaven, big brother Mai Ke! He has come to collect us, I will bring him to see the eldest brother, and you will decide if you have the eldest brother. Scorched Earth replied.

Huh? So, Brother Scorched Earth has already agreed? This uninvited guest has two hits! It's not easy to convince this kid!

"Okay, please come to our temple and sit down and talk!"

Mai Ke had the opportunity to speak: "Mai Ke has seen the abbot, thank you for the invitation to enter the temple! I have deep respect for the abbot's ancestor Yue Zhongwu!"

"Thank you, Lord Mai!" the abbot clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to Mai Ke.

Praise his ancestors, it was her favorite thing to hear.

Entering the hospitality room, the three of them sat down, and Abbot Yue did not ask Mai Ke, but asked the scorched earth: "Tell me why you are willing to return to the Heavenly Army?"

This also surprised the scorched earth, but he was also very happy, so he told what he saw and his feelings in bits and pieces.

It's not organized, but it's real.

Mai Ke didn't add anything, but repeated his request: "I want to ask Scorched Earth to lead his subordinates and abbot to lead the monks and soldiers out of the mountain to help the Heavenly Army complete the great cause of overthrowing the Manchu Qing." ”

The abbot pondered for about five minutes and said, "Okay! Where the righteousness lies, it is incumbent upon you to do so! Scorched earth, you put your subordinates in order, and send 20,000 troops! My monks and soldiers sent 1,000 troops, leaving only 100 as salaries." ”

Then he said to a little novice, "Go, call your senior brother Yue over!"

After a while, a young man came in and bowed to the abbot and the city: "Uncle Abbot, do you have something to do with me?"

"Yes, I want you to lead the monks out of the mountain and follow this Mai Ke to the world!".
