Chapter Eighty-Three: Disaster Strikes Again
Having said that, the two of them left Yedu, and along the way, they were hungry and thirsty, and they lived at night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The head of the door suddenly saw it, and was pleasantly surprised, and immediately stepped forward to inquire, "Two senior brothers, you are back." ”
"Come back, senior brother, how are the days in the monastery, are you alright?" asked with a smile:
"Good, good, good, all very good. As he spoke, the doorman hurriedly ordered him to go down and inform the abbot.
"Master, where is he now?" asked Jingkong.
"He's been helping to exterminate locusts these days, and today he just came back from outside, and he's in the abbot's room. ”
"yes, let's go in. Familiar with the situation of the temple, the two of them said and raised their legs into the temple, followed the original road, and went to the abbot's room at the back of the temple.
However, he said that the presiding officer Fuju Zheng and the first seat and others talked about the locusts killing the crops in Hezhong, Hedong, Hexi, Xu, Jin, Ru and other prefectures, and talked about the difficulties that the people would do because of the problem of eating.
Seeing this, the two of them were excited, and hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute.
After Fuju returned the courtesy and inquired, he immediately invited the two to the abbot's room for tea and talking.
Clearly, the two of them entered the abbot's room, sat down and drank tea, and with your words, I told the whole process and news of my trip to Yedu for more than two months to inquire about the news, 1510, from beginning to end.
When Fu Ju heard that Shi Jingjiao, who recognized the thief as his father and betrayed the country to seek glory, was dead, Jing Yanguang fell out with the Khitan country, and had driven away Yelu Wudaunt and other Khitan people, the heart hanging in his throat suddenly let go, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and after sending the two of them down to rest, they brought back the news for the two of them, and felt that it was time to rebuild the Shaolin Temple. "My Buddha is merciful, the first seat, I know what they just said, you have all heard it, now Shi Jingjiao he has died, that Yelu fearless has also been driven away, there is no one to fight against our Shaolin Temple, and it is now September, it will be October soon, it has entered the agricultural slack season, the time to rebuild the Shaolin Temple has come, do you think we will start construction?"
The first monk was eager to build it immediately, and when he heard it, he was overjoyed, and immediately responded: "Abbot, there is still a need to say about this matter, now that it has been built, what are you waiting for, start construction now." ”
"Okay, then let's sum it up," Fuju saw that no one of the monks objected, so he randomly discussed.
In an instant, the first monks began to talk about recruiting craftsmen to make suggestions on how to rebuild.
After listening to the opinions of the monks, Fuju randomly recruited craftsmen to rebuild and assigned tasks.
After the monks accepted the task, they did not slack off, and they were busy randomly, and soon, the notice of recruiting craftsmen to rebuild the Shaolin Temple was posted in Dengfeng, Ruzhou, and Wushi County.
After the good men and women saw it, they were overjoyed, and in an instant, one passed ten, ten passed hundreds, and soon, not only three or five groups of masons and some carpenters came to sign up one after another with their luggage, not to mention, even the people who worked hard also came a lot.
Fuju was overjoyed, and after arranging their residences, he randomly asked the secretary Minghui to register them one by one according to their own reports, and immediately according to what they knew, they formed a class of masons, a class of carpenters, and two classes of laborers, and handed them over to the first seat, the west hall, the back hall, and the hall master to manage them separately.
After the leader of the four major classes gave the order, he did not slow down, and immediately led him to the place where he was going to work and check the scene.
But the first one immediately led the masons to the foundation of the Mahavira Temple, and then explained how to build it.
The masons were all smart people, and when they knew how to build, they randomly commanded the laborers to live the mud and carry the bricks.
When the back hall heard this, he did not slack off, and immediately assigned the laborers under his management, and let them carry the water, the living mud, and the bricks.
Let's say that the masons were busy for a while, and after putting the line in place, seeing that the mud was already alive, they immediately took out their tools, and with the cooperation of the laborers, they laughed and started to build the wall in full swing.
After saying that the West Hall led the carpenters to the pile of timber, they randomly explained the size of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
As the saying goes, the long carpenter, the short blacksmith, not the short and not the long is the stonemason, the carpenters listened, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, and randomly went to the site to measure it, and then "split and crack," cut and saw, and put together the wood.
In an instant, the scene of reconstruction unfolded nervously and orderly in the Shaolin Temple.
The four major classes worked on-site on the first day, and if they encountered any difficulties, they would be solved on the spot and would never be postponed.
The craftsmen are also diligent, conscientious, hardworking, and spare no effort in their work.
The Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Tianwang Palace, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, etc., because they do not dig the foundation, and are still built on the original foundation, it is a lot of trouble and effort, and in two months, the craftsmen will rebuild all the burned houses of the temple.
Fuju was very happy to see that all the houses in the temple had been built, and that the collapsed walls were built, and he was very happy to bring the original Buddha statues of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Heavenly King Hall, the Sanmon Hall and other halls into their original positions, and to see that the work in the temple was basically over, and then randomly asked the secretary Minghui to give everyone a gratuity.
The secretary Minghui did not slow down, and immediately paid the honorarium to everyone one by one according to the salary agreed in advance, according to the amount of work done by each person.
The craftsmen were very happy, and after receiving their honorarium, they took their luggage at random and left the temple and went home for the New Year.
Winter goes to spring, the ice and snow melt, the grass is green, the Vientiane is renewed, and in a blink of an eye, another year has come, and it is another spring and full of spring.
Yangchun March, although this season is a warm and charming season, but because of the locust plague in many places last year, there was no harvest of grain, so that the world was famine, the price of grain soared, thousands of miles of red land, starvation was all over the field, ten rooms and nine empty, the people were not able to make a living, those who fled the famine to ask for food, and those who sold their children and women, abounded.
For a time, robbers broke out in all directions, burning, killing and looting, emerging in an endless stream, and it was not uncommon to see them all over the world.
However, when Fuju saw many victims fleeing to the Shaolin Temple, his compassion couldn't help but rise, and he randomly discussed with the four major class leaders and the eight deacons, and not only accepted all those who voluntarily entered the temple and became monks, but also took out part of the remaining food to open a porridge shed to help the old, weak, sick and disabled victims.
With the arrival of April, the locusts also come from north to south, covering the sky and the sun, from the sky down, from the mountains and fields, everywhere, and everywhere they go, the grass seedlings, trees and leaves, and the food is all gone.
Seeing this, Fuju knew that if he did not kill as soon as possible, the hundreds of acres of land in the monastery might be lost, and he might starve next year.
When the people heard that the locusts were caught, they could get food, and when they caught more locusts, they were overjoyed, and in order to get more food and survive, they randomly went to the fields to catch locusts.
For a time, the fields were full of locust hunters with cloth bags in their hands.
However, it is said that Fuju led the monks and victims of the monastery, after more than 20 days of hard fighting, whether it was water or fire, he used various methods to finally eliminate the locusts within a radius of more than ten miles, and after saving the crops, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, there are unpredictable storms in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. While they were waiting for the crops to ripen, a group of bandits suddenly looted into the monastery at the fall of night.
For the safety and future of the temple, after fasting, he randomly sent a waiter to call the abbot's room to ask how to deal with the robbery of the bandits, "...... Five junior disciples, I think you've all heard about the bandits' raiding of the surrounding villages, right?"
The five Qingjing people had already heard about the robbery of the bandits, so they immediately nodded and said, "I have heard about this, what's wrong?"
Fuju said: "The five junior disciples, even if you have heard about it, have you thought about it, and how we will deal with it if they come to loot our temple?"
Wuchen said: "Well, I haven't thought about it, but according to the reputation of our Shaolin Temple, they don't dare to come and rob it." ”
Fuju said: "Senior Brother Wuchen, I don't agree with you saying that they don't dare to come rashly, you must know that in the year of famine, they will do anything in order to survive, don't you see, they were just blocking the road and robbing at Yuyuan Pass, and now they are not only blocking the road and robbing, but also blatantly entering the village to loot, for this reason, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, we have to prevent this." ”
Qingjing said: "Senior Brother Abbot, you are right, so what should we do?"
Fuju said: "For this matter, five junior disciples, my thoughts are like this, there are not many people who know kung fu in the temple now, and don't we accept some new personnel, just organize them and teach them kung fu, so that they can take on the responsibility of protecting the temple, what do you think?"
Jingkong said: "Of course this is good, but the martial arts books of this temple have been set on fire by the government, what should we teach them?"
Fuju said: "Jingkong, you don't have to worry about this matter, I can teach you all my kung fu, and then, you will teach them again, and it will be over." ”
The five people were happy, and just as the five of them were talking in a low voice about how to train, suddenly a shout of "beat, kill......" came into the abbot's room from the front.
After hearing this, Fuju was surprised and puzzled, and without waiting for the five people to react, they hurriedly got up and raised their legs and walked out of the door, and just arrived at the door of the abbot's room, when they saw a waiter running in from the front of the temple in a panic, he couldn't help but ask, "What happened in front of you, why are you yelling?"
"Abbot, no, the bandits have somehow killed in, and they have surrounded the Daxiong Treasure Hall. ”
"What?" Fuju couldn't help but be taken aback, since he never thought that Cao Cao would arrive, "How many people did they come?"
"There are about two or three hundred people, and they have all been surrounded in the main hall, and I have just walked through the back corner of the main hall, and I happened to see those bandits at the gate of the main hall, and I knew that I could not stop it alone, so I turned around and came back to report to you. ”
"Senior Brother Abbot, what should we do?" After hearing this, the five Qingjing people couldn't help but be taken aback, and for a while, they didn't know what to do for the two or three hundred heavily armed bandits.
When Fuju suddenly heard two or three hundred people, he couldn't help but be taken aback, knowing that he couldn't drive them away even if he was tired and the five of them were clean, he pondered for a moment, and after having the idea of knocking on the mountain and revitalizing the tiger in his heart, he randomly confessed to Ran. "Clearly, there is no village in the southeast of the monastery, and the victims of our relief do not all live in it, you two arrived, tell them about the situation here, ask for their help, and then, with great fanfare and vigor, come to catch the bandits, and then, we will make a fuss in the monastery, and keep them fleeing without a fight. ”
"Okay, we understand," said Clear, and shook off his robe.
Fuju said: "Remember, the bigger the momentum, the better." ”
"We know this, that's gone," said the two of them, leaving the abbot's room, jumping out of the temple over the wall at random, taking advantage of the darkness to avoid the mobile sentry of the bandits, they quickly whipped up their horses and ran to the southeast without stopping.
It was dark and dark, and although the road was a little unclear, they still walked like a fly, three or four miles away, and the two of them didn't need to be big for a while, and they arrived at the place.
Those victims just lay down, not yet asleep, suddenly heard the bandits looting the Shaolin Temple, to help them, the victims were already angry and angry at the bandits' nonsense, but also knew that if the temple was looted, not only the monks of the temple did not eat, they would also starve, in order to survive, in an instant, regardless of the old age and youth, they were all the calls, and then, took the stick, followed behind the two of them, they shouted loudly, and went to the Shaolin Temple vigorously.
But he said that Fuju saw the two of them leave, so he randomly instructed the three of them to explain, "Qingjing, the three of you immediately split up and contact the other monks of the temple to go, and then, when you hear their movements, you will do the same, come to bluff like this, so as to scare them away, understand?"
"Understood. The three of them agreed, and randomly split up to look for their own personnel.
However, it was said that after Fucheng saw that all five people left, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more angry he became, and the more angry he became, and in an instant, he threw off his robe, picked up all the wooden sticks that he usually practiced in the courtyard, and walked to the front of the temple.
But it is said that the person who besieged and plundered the Shaolin Temple was none other than Zhang Yuankui, a thief who was entrenched in the vicinity of Yuyuan Pass, he was thirty-seven or eight years old, of medium stature, with a melon seed face, two triangular eyebrows, and a pair of small eyes.
Zhang Yuankui was originally the brother of a wealthy family in Luoyang City, because of his gambling nature, to make the family fall in the middle of the road, not to mention the debt, and in the gambling with others, he actually killed the other party with a knife, under the pursuit of the government, he fled into Songshan with no way out, he was not willing to be lonely, so he gathered Huang Qunling, Yu Zhenbiao, Liu Sihu and a group of undead people, occupied the mountain as the king, on the road of Yuyuan Pass, did the thing of beating the house and robbing the house, blocking the road and robbing.
Although Henan Prefecture has sent troops to search and arrest many times, it has been rugged and difficult to walk because of the towering mountains of Songshan, the mountains and mountains, the trees are large and the forests are dense, and Zhang Yuankui is ruthless and cunning.
After Zhang Yuankui saw the incompetence of the officers and soldiers, he became even more unscrupulous and lawless, and his team increased day by day. As for the robbery they originally blocked the road in Yuyuan Pass, how could they rob the Shaolin Temple, this thing is caused by famine, you think there was a drought and locusts in the world, the people have nothing to eat, he Zhang Yuankui blocked the road and robbed for a living, and robbed things, so naturally he couldn't rob things, but in order to survive, they didn't sit and wait for death, so they changed their methods, blatantly robbed the village directly, however, when they robbed more than ten villages in a row, and did not rob the food, so they started the idea of the temple again, when they saw the porridge shed opened by the Shaolin Temple to distribute food every day, and the crops of the landWhen the branches were also lush and there was no locust infestation, although I knew that the monks of the monastery knew how to do some kung fu, in order to survive, I still decided to rob it.
Zhang Yuankui in order to get nine out of ten, foolproof robbery to the Shaolin Temple of the grain, so he first sent people to the Shaolin Temple there secretly observed for a few days, after knowing the temple's work and rest time and the number of people inside, and the subordinates discussed, left Yu Zhenbiao to watch the house, so, he personally led the people, silently left the cottage, taking advantage of the dusk, when there was no one patrolling the temple for the time being, sent someone to open the temple gate, after killing the door, this led his men nearly 200 people quietly into the temple, and randomly led his subordinates to rush into the Daxiong Treasure Hall at lightning speedand besieged the door of the Mahavira Palace.
The first Jing Xiu led the monks to worship the Buddha and sit in meditation in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and when he suddenly saw countless bright swords and guns blocking the door of the temple, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and immediately asked, "Who are you, what do you want to do?"
Zhang Yuankui was very proud when he saw that his siege plan was successful, and in order to intimidate the monks, he was violent, murderous, and couldn't find out his intentions for the rest of his life." Who am I, tell you, people who come to sit and do not change their names, do not change their surnames, the surname Zhang Mingyuankui is me, I came to the temple today not for anything else, just to borrow food, as long as you obediently obey the order, stay in the main hall and do not shout or shout, I guarantee that you are safe and sound, but if anyone does not obey the order and has to come forward to resist and go against it, then I will be sorry for you, come, close the door of the temple. ”
After Zhang Yuankui's subordinates heard the order, they randomly stepped forward to close the temple door.
When the first seat and the monks understood what was going on, they were unwilling to be captured, sat still, and randomly stopped them.
When Zhang Yuankui saw this, he was furious, and immediately led his subordinates to swing a knife and slash it viciously.
The monks were unarmed with their bare hands, so they couldn't stop it, so they hurriedly retreated.
Zhang Yuankui's subordinates took advantage of the mechanism to go up to the temple gate and blocked the door from the outside.
The monks didn't approve of it, so they randomly banged on the door and the window and shouted wildly, "Zhang Yuankui, you can't do this to our ,......"
That Zhang Yuankui sealed the door of the temple, and after being closely guarded, he ignored the shouting and shouting of the monks in the congregation, and he randomly sent Li Xiang to lead people to the Xiangji kitchen, the storehouse, and the warehouse to search for food in the temple.
After Li Xiang received the order, he immediately led more than ten people to run to the Xiangji Kitchen, and when he entered the Xiangji Kitchen, he was happy when he saw more than ten bags of grain inside, and according to Zhang Yuankui's instructions, he left seven or eight people to carry the grain on his back, and after carrying firewood, he randomly led five people to the warehouse to continue searching for food.
But it was said that Li Xiang arrived at the front and back of the warehouse door first, and when he saw that the door of the warehouse was locked, he didn't want to look for the key, so he randomly commanded his subordinates to swing a knife and chop the door chain.
But said that Fuju walked forward quickly, when he suddenly heard a sound in the warehouse, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and walked there as he turned around, and when he saw five or six bandits with steel knives in their hands, holding torches, they were unscrupulous, lawless, and slashing at the door of the warehouse without any distinction, he was angry and even his liver and lungs, he bit his teeth in his mouth, and immediately shouted, "Oh, my Buddha is merciful, who are you, dare to be lawless, do nonsense, hurry up and stop and roll away, otherwise, I will not be polite," He walked swiftly towards them.
Li Xiang and five or six other thieves were about to smash open the door of the warehouse and enter the inside to search for food, when they suddenly heard the stern reprimand, they couldn't help but be taken aback, and couldn't help but stop their hands.
After the five big and three thick, tall and tall Li Xiang commanded his subordinates to continue to smash the door, he raised his toes with the knife, roared uncontrollably, and walked towards Fuju, "What are you, you are impatient with life, you dare to have nothing to do, come to seek death, I advise you to get far away, otherwise, this steel knife in the uncle's hand, it is not a vegetarian," Seeing that Fuju approached without backing, he swung his knife and slashed at Fuju.
Fuju put him in his eyes, knowing that if he didn't teach him a hard lesson, they would not retreat in the face of difficulties, and immediately anger was born from the heart, and evil was born to the side of the guts, and roared angrily, "Okay, you don't know what to do, even if you don't want to give your face, then it's no wonder to me," said that it was too late, and it was fast, and he waved the wooden stick in his hand, and he was as fast as lightning and struck at the approaching bandits.
"What a bald donkey, he dares to openly confront it, it's really boring, and he is killing himself," Li Xiang scolded angrily, and with the swing of his knife, he slashed at Fuju viciously.
Fuju didn't take it seriously, and he didn't allow him to go wild unbridled, and he waved his stick and knocked him to the ground.
When the other five thieves saw this, they were furious, and in an instant, they stopped, threw away the torches in their hands, and scrambled to slash at Fuju with their swords.
Fuju didn't take them seriously, shouted "It's good", waved the wooden stick in his hand, and met the style, saw the move, and attacked the past lightly.
Those five people were not opponents, and after a round, they threw away their armor and were defeated.
Fuju faced the six people lying on the ground, crying for his father and mother, the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot, and immediately scolded angrily, "You don't know what to do, and you don't ask what I do in this Shaolin Temple, you dare to go to this place to persuade the good to do evil, I am really impatient, if I don't look at my Buddha's merciful face today, I must kill you, now take me to see your master." ”
"Yes, yes, yes," Li Xiang and the six of them were frightened, and they agreed again and again, and immediately panicked like a lost dog, and hurried like a fish that had slipped through the net, and went back to the Daxiong Treasure Hall with their tails between their legs.
Fuju walked to the door of the warehouse, raised his leg to extinguish the torch that was still burning, and randomly followed behind Li Xiang and the six people, and walked quickly towards the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
But it was said that Zhang Yuankui was facing the shouting and screaming of the monks, and was directing his subordinates to pile up the firewood in front of the main hall, when he suddenly saw Li Xiang's six people with blood on their faces and returned in embarrassment, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and asked at random, "Li Xiang, what's going on with you, who beat it?"
"Don't ask, I called," Fuju didn't wait for Li Xiang and the six people to answer, stepped forward, and answered in response.
Zhang Yuankui didn't notice it, and when Xunsheng saw the Fuju behind Li Xiang and the others, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and asked randomly, "Who are you, why did you beat them?"
"Who am I," Fuju said bluntly: "Listen, I am the head of this temple, Fuju, you trespass into my temple without my permission, let alone beat you, I didn't kill you, but I am already giving you extrajudicial grace." ”
Zhang Yuankui gritted his teeth and said viciously: "It turns out that you are the host of Fuju, you old bald donkey, you dare to beat me Zhang Yuankui, it's really boring, if you don't give you something powerful today, you don't know how powerful my Zhang Yuankui is." ”
Fu Juzi didn't take him seriously at all, and sneered: "The living king of the mixed world, you are not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue when you say this, to tell you the truth, although my Shaolin Temple is not the Longtan Tiger's Den, but it is definitely not a place where you can come if you want to come and leave if you want, Zhang Yuankui, you had better be obediently tied up and captured today, but you will not be able to escape, otherwise, you will not be able to escape with your wings." ”
Zhang Yuankui said fearlessly: "Hahaha, although I Zhang Yuankui is not outstanding, my appearance is not amazing, but I am not a wine bag and a rice bag, the walking dead, the government is helpless against me, and you are a small Shaolin Temple, a hundred and ten people, and no knives and guns, just think about me, it's too self-conscious." ”
Fuju said, "Zhang Yuankui, my little Shaolin Temple can't do anything, but if you want to leave today, it's impossible." ”
"Yes, then I want to see how you arrest him, come, Liu Xiong, take him down for me" Zhang Yuankui said, waving his hand and giving orders to his subordinates.
"Report," Before Liu Xiong could react, a shout came from outside, followed by a thief in a panic and ran over from the Heavenly King Palace.
Zhang Yuankui suddenly heard the sound, he was surprised, he turned around randomly and looked at the person who came, and when he saw that it was Huang Qunling who he arranged to sentry outside, he asked randomly, "Huang Qunling, you are not sentry outside, and now you are in, what is the matter?"
Huang Qunling hurriedly reported: "Big brother, it's not good, the officers and soldiers are here,"
"What, the officers and soldiers are here," Zhang Yuankui, the king of the living Hell of the Mixed World, couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard it, and immediately asked, "How many people are here?"
Huang Qun led: "How many there are, I can't see clearly in the black light, but judging from their momentum, there are a lot of people." ”
Zhang Yuankui was surprised, and said in random confusion: "Huang Qun, let's not just know about this operation, how can the officers and soldiers know about it now?"
Huang Qun said: "This, big brother, I don't know, let's withdraw quickly, otherwise, it will be too late." ”
Zhang Yuankui was a little hesitant, and he wanted to arrest Fujuye.
"My Buddha is merciful, Zhang Yuankui, don't you want to arrest me, come on, today your monk will let you see the power of my Shaolin Temple," Fuju said in order to urge Zhang Yuankui to retreat as soon as possible, making a big move, spitting out the portal, and then put on a posture of beating the evil tiger.
"Big brother, this old monk wants to drag us and wait for the rescue of the officers and soldiers, you can't be fooled by him, let's withdraw quickly," Huang Qunling didn't wait for Zhang Yuankui to react, and immediately persuaded him.
"Master, here we are," At this moment, the three of them led more than 20 monks with wooden sticks in their hands, and also rushed out from the back of the temple, and then set up a fighting posture next to the blessed house.
When Liu Sihu saw it, he also hurriedly persuaded him: "Big brother, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, the time is still long." ”
Seeing this, Huang Qun was even more worried, and hurriedly persuaded him again, "Brother Zhang, don't hesitate, otherwise, when the officers and soldiers arrive, it will be too late for us to leave." ”
Although Zhang Yuankui, the living king of the mixed world, was a little unwilling, but in view of the situation in front of him, he knew that he could not hesitate, and in an instant, he gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Old bald donkey, I will spare you this time, but you listen well, after half a month, I will come back, then, if you don't prepare the food, at that time, I will definitely wash in blood, and set fire to your Shaolin Temple, retreat,"
After Huang Qun heard the order, he did not slack off, and immediately commanded his subordinates to carry the more than ten bags of grain, and then walked out in an orderly and orderly manner.
Zhang Yuankui was unwilling to fail, and in an instant, he reached out and took a torch, and threw it fiercely in front of the door of the main hall, on the pile of firewood.
When the other people with torches saw this, they followed suit at random, without being commanded, and immediately threw their torches onto the firewood.
When the fire suddenly saw the dry wood, it immediately 'swelled' and ignited.
Seeing this, Fuju would not sit idly by, sit idly by, and while directing Wuchen to extinguish the fire and save people, he waved the wooden stick in his hand and hit Zhang Yuankui and the others.
That Zhang Yuankui, Liu Sihu, Huang Qunling and others saw it, they retreated while fighting, and after leaving the temple, they didn't love fighting, and by the night, they were randomly like frightened rabbits, and went north like a smoke.
When Fuju chased after him, he was overjoyed when the two of them led the disaster victims to arrive, and in order to increase the momentum, they also bluffed and shouted with great fanfare, "Soon, they are running north." ”
When Zhang Yuankui and the others heard the sound, they were still chasing after the officers and soldiers, and they ran faster and more anxiously to the north.
When Fuju saw that the bandits were frightened, and in an instant, he fled without a trace, and his heart suddenly relaxed, and after stopping to chase forward, he thanked the victims.
When the victims heard that the bandits had fled, they couldn't help but sigh out, and slowly went back as they talked.
After Fuju saw the disaster victims go back, he also went back to the temple randomly, knowing that if the bandits knew that this time it was not the officers and soldiers who came, they would not give up, and they would come to retaliate, knowing that they wanted to protect the temple from infringement in this troubled world, except for organizing monks to practice martial arts to protect themselves, there was no other way, after returning to the temple, he immediately called the four major class leaders and eight deacons to the abbot's room, and then, randomly took out his plan to train monks. We will study and discuss countermeasures.
After everyone listened, in an instant, in response to the actual situation, they said a word, I said, gossiping, each expressing their opinions, speaking freely to discuss whether it is feasible, and when after some deliberation, it is determined that it is feasible, and everyone randomly agrees.
The next morning, Fuju got up from his bed, washed up, and went to the Daxiong Hall at random.
The monks had already heard about the selection of personnel to teach the training last night, and with the ringing of the morning bell and the dusk drum, the time was not long, and the monks of the monastery came to gather in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall one after another.
When Fuju saw that all the personnel had arrived, he could speak casually and spoke. Everyone, for last night's incident, I don't think I need to talk about it, everyone also understands, in order to protect the temple property, last night I discussed and decided with the four major class leaders, the eight deacons, to select a group of personnel, to teach martial arts, to protect our temple, for the selected people, you must follow the rules, according to the order, not arrogant, if someone breaks the temple rules and precepts, the light one will be persuaded, the heavy one will be driven out of the temple, the following will be selected by the pure, clear, empty, dust-free, and pure five people, you start. ”
"Yes," the five of them agreed, and immediately turned around and walked into the vertical line, randomly selecting the new ones and the original ones.
The monks were angry about last night's incident, and in order to protect the temple, they all claimed to join.
After a period of careful selection, and with little effort, the five Qingjing selected 60 young people from among the more than 100 monks.
After Fuju led them to the back of the monastery, after first educating them in literature and morality, he randomly taught them from the beginning, and taught the eighteen kinds of martial arts to sixty people hand in hand.
Sixty monks were not very familiar with martial arts because of their first contact, and they followed suit after more than ten days of imitation and study, and slowly understood the method of martial arts, and then entered the state.
When Fuju saw that the monks entered the door, and after getting on the road, his heart suddenly let go, and then let them guide and preach martial arts.
Let's say that on this day, when Fuju was resting to teach martial arts, he talked to Qingjing about the recent robbery of the bandits in the village near Dengfeng County, and suddenly remembered the words of Zhang Yuankui when he left, and then said to him, "Clearly, a few days ago, when the bandits entered the temple, didn't you meet their bandits?"
When he heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Fuju said: "Clearly, that's the case, you see those bandits are now blatantly coming to the county near the county to rob, if we don't punish him, he Zhang Yuankui will definitely come to our temple to rob, I mean, I want you to go to Yuyuan Pass, check the situation of those bandits, and their lair is in that place, and then, let's take the initiative to attack, so as to eliminate harm for the people, what do you think?"
Ran said: "It's no problem, then I'll clean up and go now." ”
Fuju said: "This is okay, but, obviously, you must be careful." ”
"Don't worry, I will," Qingjing said, called the senior brother to dust, returned to the residence, cleaned up, dressed up as a beggar, and then left the temple and went to Yuyuan Pass to find out Zhang Yuankui's whereabouts.
Yuyuan Pass, located in the northeast of Shaolin Temple, is one of the eight passes of Luoyang, is located in Yanshi and Dengfeng, Gongyi junction of the Yuanyuan Mountain, Luoyang to Chen, Xu's shortcut to rush, located between Shaolin Mountain and Taimur Mountain, its mountain road is dangerous, winding and rugged, twelve bends, circling in the loop, will go to return, it is dangerous, precarious.
Along the way, the two of them walked along the steep slope of the bend and slope, talking and walking, when the afternoon was almost over, they arrived at the front of the Yuanyuan Pass, and the two of them were surprised and did not know where to find the bandits, suddenly, a shout rang out, "Ah, this mountain is opened by me, this tree is planted by me, if you want to pass from here, leave to buy road wealth." The two of them were startled, and looked over as they searched.
But I saw five middle-aged men holding steel knives, like demons and monsters, and the horizontal knives immediately blocked the way forward.
But when he saw the five thieves, he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, but in order not to arouse the suspicion of the thieves, he didn't talk, pretended to be scared at random, pulled up the dust, turned around and ran back.
When the five men saw this, they immediately shouted loudly, "Boy, run there, if you dare to run any further, you must be killed if you catch up," and they hurried after them.
But they said that the two of them could have escaped from the pursuit of the five people with their own skills, but thinking that they had originally come to find out the situation of the bandits, and now for this opportunity to send them to the door, how could they miss it is not a pity, and in an instant, the two pretended to be timid, scared, and couldn't run, plopped, and crawled on the ground, and then pleaded bitterly to the five people who caught up, "The king spares his life, the king spares his life, the king spares his life." ”
After the five men caught up with them, and after kicking them a few times, one of them, who was wide and fat, with a fat head and big ears, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a big nose and mouth, then panted and asked, "Who are you, why did you run when you heard our shouts?"
He hurriedly explained: "My lord, we beggars asked for food, and we ran away because we were afraid. ”
But said that the leader was no one else, it was a small leader under Zhang Yuankui, surnamed Zhu Mingli, because of a little conflict with another leader named Ma Yun, after being reprimanded, depressed, he walked out of the cottage to relax, after seeing the two of them, they robbed many times and their nature was difficult to move, so they screamed and intercepted, originally thought that the two would hear their own shouting, they would obediently kneel and beg for mercy, since they didn't expect that the two would run away because of fear, and they were a little annoyed by the escape of the two, "Afraid? We don't have knives and guns, we just rob money and don't rob lives, you have terrible, really, quickly, take out the money, and you can go. ”
He said, "King, we want food, so what money do we have, and if there is, we won't run away." ”
Zhu Lishi said angrily: "Damn, I said that you two want food, what do you run if you don't have money, you really have any birds, take advantage of your good mood, hurry up." ”
"Thank you, the king," said Ran, and Lichen got up from the ground, and walked slowly north, however, the two had not gone far, "If you want food, you two go slowly," a sentence ordering them to stop came from behind him, and he was surprised, turned around and explained the past, "King, we really want food, this is true, and there is really no money, don't believe it, you see," said Ran, stretched out his hand and opened his pocket.
"I know you don't have any money, so stop telling you to stop. ”
"Okay, okay, we listen to you," although he didn't know what he was going to do, but the artist was bold, so he still stopped without hesitation and watched the changes.
The leading Zhu Lishi was strange, and immediately asked in surprise, "Wang Fengtai, the two of them are poor and begging for food, why are you angry with them if you don't let them go?"
That Wang Fengtai is as tall as Zhu Lishi, and the two of them are about the same age, they are also thirty-five or six, but his figure is thin and dry, and he has a sharp beak and monkey cheeks. ”
Zhu Lishi was surprised: "Brother Fengtai, it's okay, then don't let them go, what are you going to do?"
Wang Fengtai said: "Big brother, brother, don't I do it all for you." ”
Julius was even more confused, "For me, brother, what do you mean?"
Wang Fengtai said with a smile: "What do I mean, big brother, why don't you understand, let's fight with Ma Yun this time, because of what we suffer, isn't it because we don't have as many others, if there are more people than him, we will suffer, so I want to keep them to join our team, what do you think?"
Julius said worriedly, "Brother, is this okay?"
Wang Fengtai said: "Why can't this work, he Zhang Yuankui can recruit troops and buy horses, can't we recruit troops and buy horses, I am saying, big brother, don't you see, whoever has more soldiers now, who will be justified, you must know that we live by strength, and if there is no one in our hands, we will still be bullied." ”
Zhu Lishi said: "Brother, this is what you said, but I don't know if they want to?"
Wang Fengtai said: "Big brother, for this, don't you know?"
Julius turned around and asked, "Well, I said, boy, what's the name of you two?"
Hearing this, he immediately replied: "Back to the king's words, the little one's surname is Li Haoran, and his surname is Li Mengqi, I don't know what is wrong with you, the king?"
Zhu Lishi said: "Haoran, Mengqi, do you want to have food every day?"
Knowing this, the two of them were pleasantly surprised when they heard this, and they randomly said in unison: "Yes, of course I do." ”
Zhu Lishi said: "If you think, then would you like to follow me?"
Although he was desperate, in order not to arouse their suspicions, he asked, "What are you doing?" Of course, this is no problem, but can you guarantee that we will have food every day?"
Zhu Lishi said: "Of course, I guarantee that you will have food every day, otherwise I won't let you do it with me." ”
He said: "As long as there is food to eat every day, of course we are willing to follow you." ”
Julius said, "Okay, but you have to listen to me." ”
"That's fine, but you have to make sure we have food every day." ”
"It's okay, let's go, come back with us. Julius turned and turned back as he spoke, heading east along the rugged, winding mountain road.
Knowing that the two of them did not slow down, they followed them as they were in Julie, and then walked to the place where the thieves lived.
Zhu Lishi instructed as he walked: "Haoran, Mengqi, you two have arrived at the place of residence, if others will talk to you, just say that they are my fellow countrymen, don't talk nonsense about anything else, understand?"
He said, "Don't worry, I won't say anything, my lord." ”
"Okay," said the group, and the group returned to their residence, and Julius immediately arranged a place for the two of them.
After the two of them settled, it was not long before they could secretly investigate the details of the bandits.
On this day, after drinking and chatting with Yu Zhenbiao, Huang Qunling, Liu Sihu and his military advisor Huang Banxian, when talking about the robbery, he couldn't help but mention it again, "...... Brothers, speaking of robbery, don't you think it's a little strange about the last robbery of the Shaolin Temple?"
Huang Qunling was surprised: "Big brother, what's so strange, it's not that you haven't grabbed food, it's not strange." ”
Zhang Yuankui analyzed: "Brother, it's not that there is such a simple thing as grabbing food, do you want to think about it, the Shaolin Temple is more than 20 miles away from Dengfeng County, how can the officers and soldiers get there?"
Liu Sihu nodded in agreement: "Yes, now that I think about it, I really didn't think of it at the time." ”
Zhang Yuankui said: "Brothers, from this point of view, there must be ghosts in here, so we must inquire about cleaning up, otherwise, if there are ghosts inside, our lives will be lost." ”
Liu Sihu agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, you have to inquire clearly, this is not a joke." ”
Huang Qunling said without objection: "Okay, didn't Wang Changshun go to investigate the situation of Shaolin Temple last time, then let him go this time, isn't it over." ”
Zhang Yuankui immediately agreed: "Okay, then you can call him." ”
"Wang Changshun, Wang Changshun, Wang Changshun," Huang Qunling walked out of the door and shouted loudly.
"Three kings, what do you call me?" With a question, a young man in his twenties, thin and withered, with a sharp beak and monkey gills, ran in from outside.
"Changshun, king, I have something to do with you, go in quickly. ”
When Wang Changshun heard this, he did not hesitate, and immediately entered the house and accepted the order.
When Zhang Yuankui saw this, he randomly assigned him the task of going to Dengfeng County to inquire about the last time.
After Wang Changshun understood his task, he was not slow, and immediately agreed, and then returned to his residence, cleaned up, and immediately went down the mountain to Dengfeng County to inquire.
The book is brief, but it says that Wang Changshun arrived in Dengfeng County, after looking east and west, and after some inquiry, he learned that the government had never sent troops to rescue Shaolin Temple, and he did not stay in Dengfeng for too long, so he randomly returned to the cottage and reported to Zhang Yuankui.
After Zhang Yuankui found out, he was angry and hated, and randomly planned to rob the Shaolin Temple again.
If you want to know what will happen next, let's see the next time.
