The gatekeeper monk of Tozen Temple stopped Yu Shao and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and them, and Ji Heng explained a few words to the gatekeeper monk, but the gatekeeper monk just didn't let everyone in, and only allowed Yu Shao and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to enter the temple, and Ashikaga subordinates dressed as female dependents and Japanese were not allowed to enter. Ji Heng, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, said helplessly to Yu Shao and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu: "I'm really sorry, this is the rule of the temple, and women are not allowed to enter." And in recent years, I also hated the frequent harassment of the Japanese in Minyue, and sent monks to exterminate the Japanese invaders, so the donor, you take so many Dongying people, let them rest at the foot of the mountain, and the abbot here will not agree to the Japanese entering the temple. ”

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also learned that the rampant domineering of the Japanese was deeply hated by the local people, and naturally they were street rats that everyone shouted and beaten, and entering the temple would inevitably cause misunderstandings, and more things were better than less things, so he ordered his subordinates to follow Haruko to find an inn to rest, and then he would come to them. Yu Shao also asked Shen Bing to follow Sister Chunzi to the inn to rest and prepare some things for going to sea.

"Master, I am the person entrusted by the master of Liuzhuang to bring me a message, so let me explain it to your master in person." Ashikaga Yoshimitsu said.

"Here are the witnesses of your uncle's death, and let's explain it together." Yu Shao said.

"Well, the little monk has already said it, you can follow us to see the master." Jiheng said.

Haruko and Shen Bing had already gone to the center of Quanzhou. Yu Shao and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu followed the two monks into the Tozen Temple, which is commonly known as Southern Shaolin.

There are many buildings in South Shaolin, full of houses on all sides, which appear in a patchwork among the verdant woods. Yu Shao they started from the foot of Dongyue Mountain, next to a road to Fuzhou, after walking a mile of land called 'Mountain Gate', Ji Heng explained: "This is the mountain gate of Shaolin. A ravine appeared at the mountain gate, the stream was clear and the water was murmuring. Ji Heng and Ji Yuan took off their socks, carefully washed their feet in the stream, and let Yu Shao and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also come down and soak barefoot, explaining: "This is the 'foot washing pit', and you must wash your feet here to enter the Shaolin Temple to show tranquility and piety."

With such a clear flow of water, Yu Shao and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also had the intention of washing their feet to get tired, and the stream was very cool, with a biting cold feeling. Get straight to the heart. By the way, they touched their faces and necks to wash the dust on their bodies, and after being soaked by the stream, the hearts of the two of them were really calm, and they felt the emptiness of heaven and earth.

Along the mountain gate, what catches your eye is the Heavenly King Palace, which enshrines the four heavenly kings in the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon, which is as tall as several people. Yu Shao took a closer look at the body of the clay sculpture, it was carved from a whole piece of granite, and it was lifelike after color drawing. Majestic staring at the people who came and went in and out.

After entering the Shaolin Temple, Yu Shao found that it was really magnificent, the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Dharma Hall, the Dharma Patriarch Hall, the Thirteen Hall, the Luohan Hall, the Xuannu Hall, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the Tianwang Palace, the Guanyin Palace, the Dizang Hall and other supporting facilities are readily available, occupying all the surrounding land and hills, after the current emperor's cultivation. The whole Southern Shaolin is beautiful, just like the capital of Nanjing, and most of them are made of stone, which is extremely solid and magnificent. Stone pagoda, floating tu, stone lamp. Stone statues abound, famous stone carvings, exquisite workmanship, all such as the stone lion in front of the Shaolin Temple vividly. The walls are three feet, the fields are hundreds, the woods are lush, and they are magnificent!

Yu Shao and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu were confused by the scenery in front of them, and there must be many Buddhist monks and Zen masters in such a beautiful place. Thinking that these ancients are cultivating here, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the Dharma is shining, and there are many people.

Yu Shao and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu soon met Jiheng's master, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also repeated the instructions of his lay disciple Yanagi Yefei, telling him the news that his senior brother had been killed, and Jiheng's master frowned and did not speak, and recited Buddhist scriptures in his mouth, as if he was overtaking his senior brother to rest in heaven.

When Ji Heng's master opened his eyes again, Yu Shao also talked about what happened, and asked where Zao Wou-Ki was sacred, and his martial arts were unfathomable.

"Zao Wou-Ki? He's reappearing? It also appeared in the land of Minyue. Jiheng's master said to himself.

Ji Heng's master's eyes were a little empty, as if he didn't know that Yu Shao was talking to him, and looked straight ahead thoughtfully.

"Master, dare to ask how to call your Dharma name." Yu Shao deliberately reminded Ji Heng's master that he was asking him about Zao Wou-ki.

"Oh, forgive me, the poor monk has wandered the world." Jiheng's master said to Yu Shao apologetically: "The poor monk is called Yuanjue, two senior brothers, Senior Brother Yuanzhi is the abbot of Shaolin Temple, and Yuantong is the senior brother who has suffered. ”

"I've seen Master Yuantong, it's a chubby monk, and he's quite kind." Yu Shao said.

"Hey, my senior brother was originally a good person, but because he was greedy for his appetite, the six roots were not pure, and he ended up like this, and he was destined to have this calamity." Yuanjue did not feel sad about the fate of the senior brother, and used Buddhism to explain the fate of the senior brother, since God arranged it like this, that is, the fate of the senior brother should be like this.

"Master don't have to be sad, maybe Master Yuantong has gone to Elysium."

"The poor monk is not sad, I hope that the senior brother has been freed from the sea of suffering, just like the donor said that he went to the Elysian World, he should be happy for him."

"Well, the master realm is not something that my juniors can understand."

"I think Shaoxia also has a lot of eyes, and he must have some understanding of Buddhism."

"The master said with a smile, how can I understand advanced truths at a young age, I just like some of the essence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and I have a lot of experience when I read it."

"Buddhism is about enlightenment, enlightenment in order, no matter how old you are, the young man is quite perceptive and very intelligent."

"Thank you for the compliment, I came here to know if the master knew that Zhao Wou-Ki who killed Master Yuantong, I saw his magic skills through the sky, and a move 'lion's roar' wiped out everyone present, if it weren't for the right time and place, I wouldn't have seen you in the next life." Yu Shao turned his head and asked about Zao Wouji's condition.

Yuan Jue frowned when he heard Zao Wou-ki's name, indicating that he was very likely to know him.

"Zao Wou-Ki's martial arts are unfathomable, he was once a shaman in the Mengyuan and Yuan dynasties, lived in the land of Mobei for a long time, known as 'Tongtian Wu', and was the first national teacher of Mongolia, rarely setting foot in the Central Plains."

"It seems that the master and Zao Wou-Ki have a lot of connections."

"In the first year of Song Jingyan, the thousand monks of Shaolin Temple rebelled against Pu Shou Geng's descending Yuan. Shaolin Temple elder Yuan Miao, commonly known as Zhao Mengliang, is a descendant of the royal family. Good at Taizu boxing, now become one of the stunts of South Shaolin, is the Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin created, Zhao Kuangyin is a hero of the world, he used his ingenuity to create a set of boxing, passed on to future generations, descendants named 'Taizu boxing', with the struggle for power and turmoil, many of Zhao Kuangyin's royal descendants are exiled to live in Fujian, descendants Zhao Mengliang even became an elder in Shaolin Temple 'Yuan Miao'. Therefore, Southern Shaolin and the Song Dynasty royal have a lot of origins, the Zhao family's rivers and mountains were gradually encroached upon by Meng Yuan, as the Taizu bloodline Yuan Miao naturally will not stand idly by, at that time the Yuan soldiers were left to chase the poor Kou to wipe out the children of the Zhao family, and have been chasing the Lin Temple. The first Qi grasped Wen Siye, who was ferocious, and waved the order to the Shaolin Temple, arousing the anger of thousands of monks. Yuan Miao formed thousands of monks and soldiers to resist the Yuan soldiers, swords and swords. With one as ten, the corpses of the Yuan soldiers crossed the east of the source city, and the pillow remains were all over the field. Instigating all to the point, the target. Thousands of monks died, and hundreds of people survived. After all, it was difficult to defeat the Yuan soldiers, and the Shaolin Temple was also destroyed. When Yuan Miao died on the battlefield, the Zhao family fled in all directions. ”

Yuan Jue paused at this point. Seems to be a little thirsty, Jiheng sent a cup of tea, and also handed it to Yu Shao and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

Yu Shao also took a sip of tea. asked, "Then is Zao Wou-Ki also a descendant of the Taizu bloodline?" ”

"That's right, Zhao Mengliang has been married and had children before becoming a monk, he has a son who is also a hero with outstanding martial arts, after the Shaolin Temple War, he didn't know where to go, and so on until the Yuan Dynasty sat down in the country, the officials of the Yuan Dynasty rebuilt the South Shaolin in order to appease the people, at that time I and two senior brothers were young together in the Shaolin Temple monks, not yet ten years old, the abbot in the temple has been in harmony with the officials of the Yuan Dynasty, the abbot is one of the monks who survived the Shaolin Temple War, with Zhao Mengliang's bloody war of the Yuan soldiers, but time has passed, The warrior monk of that year also became the abbot of South Shaolin who rested again. One day, a middle-aged man with a child came to Shaolin Temple to find the abbot master, and he had a secret conversation for a night, the next day he left, and since then there is no trace, I heard the old abbot say that he committed suicide by jumping into the sea without hope of revenge, leaving the child, who is about the same age as me. ”

"That child is Zao Wou-ki, Yuan Miao's son entrusted him to the old abbot to raise, let him learn art in Shaolin, he was disheartened and couldn't bear to leave his son, and after entrusting it to the abbot, he jumped into the sea to end his sad fate, right?" Yu Shao interjected in order to let Yuanjue rest and take a sip of tea.

"It's him." After Yuan Jue nodded, he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat. "You're pretty much right."

After all, the old abbot has a lot of relationship with Zhao Mengliang, but he surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, and he has a grudge in his heart, and he feels very sorry for Yuan Miao. So the abbot is very protective of his grandson, everything satisfies him, the martial arts of Shaolin Temple as long as he wants to learn, have taught him, Zao Wou-Ki is indeed a martial arts material, smart and extremely good at learning, he is not my brother, according to the generation I should call him uncle, he has become the first master of Southern Shaolin in his twenties, and the abbot did not ask him to shave, he is a lay disciple. ”

"Didn't Southern Shaolin burn down? How can there still be so many stunts left? ”

"At that time, the survivors were martial arts monks, will have one or several stunts, they grew up in the Shaolin Temple, have a deep flying affection for the Shaolin Temple, and some returned to Shaolin to continue to be monks, and the lay monks also compiled what they learned into a book, handed over to the abbot master. There are also North Shaolin also sent people to send seventy-two stunts and some internal strength of the heart cheats, of course, most of them are still Buddhist classics books, the same clan and the same lineage of North and South Shaolin are like brothers, the abbot of North Shaolin saw that South Shaolin was destroyed is also like a knife, so after South Shaolin was rebuilt, he immediately sent a copy of the copied Buddhist classics and martial arts cheats. After the abbot's painstaking management, widely accepted by lay disciples, soon the South Shaolin recovered its vitality, capable people came out in large numbers, the classics of martial arts attainments are even richer than the North Shaolin, and the North Shaolin is on a par with the North Shaolin in a few years, people are called the South Fist North Leg Shaolin Stick, and the South Shaolin is the birthplace of the South Boxing. ”

"South Shaolin was lost and regained, and the lintel of the bare gate was gone. What happened to Zao Wou-Ki? Yu Shao asked.

"Zao Wou-ki's heart is quite high, but there is no hatred of his family and country, he came to Shaolin Temple at such a young age, and he can't understand the inner entanglement of blood and hatred, coupled with the influence of Buddhism, Zao Wou-Ki's heart has no hatred. But at that time, Zao Wou-Ki was a hot-blooded man, and he didn't want to stay in Shaolin Temple for the rest of his life, he was ambitious, and he was determined to do an earth-shattering career in order to live in vain. When he was in Shaolin Temple, he rarely spoke, and he didn't tell others what he thought in his heart. He spent all his energy on martial arts cultivation, and the monks in the temple never competed with Zao Wou-Ki in martial arts, and they didn't know how profound his skills were. Suddenly, one day he and the abbot proposed to go to the rivers and lakes, the abbot didn't know his martial arts cultivation, and was afraid that he would be bullied by outsiders if his skills were still shallow, so he proposed to try his martial arts, but Zao Wou-Ki said that his martial arts were already above the abbot. When the abbot heard Zao Wou-Ki so straightforward, he felt a little unhappy in his heart, and he also wanted to rub the young man's ignorance and thickness, so he compared with Zao Wou-Ki under the eyelids of the masters of the Dharma Academy. Zao Wou-Ki has never tried to compete with real swords and guns. He has always been alone in the woods to practice Shaolin's supreme internal strength heart method "Washing the Marrow Sutra", this scripture comes from the North Shaolin, and the North Shaolin's "Yijin Sutra" is the same as the secret of Shaolin, the North Shaolin hopes that the South Shaolin will rise again, so he sent one of the two treasures of Shaolin to the South Shaolin, and since then the two pieces have been separated from the north and the south. This scripture is profound and difficult to understand, no one in Southern Shaolin has practiced it, and they are all obsessed with kung fu in the seventy-two stunts, and it is not easy to learn one or two of them. No one wanted to practice the Inner Strength Mind Method like the Washing the Marrow Sutra first. Zao Wou-Ki is a martial arts wizard, and he has been keeping it for himself since Northern Shaolin sent the "Washing the Marrow Sutra", and the abbot does not think so, even he does not know the power of the "Washing the Marrow Sutra". He also only knows that the supreme internal strength of Northern Shaolin is the "Yijin Sutra", his name is known to the rivers and lakes, and the Shaolin monks also worship it as the treasure of Shaolin, and the "Washing the Marrow Sutra" lies in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and no one cares. Only the abbot of Northern Shaolin knows that the power of the "Washing the Marrow Sutra" is not under the "Yijin Sutra", but the monks of Southern Shaolin are compared to the grass mustard, and only Zao Wou-Ki knows the treasure. After practicing to the age of twenty, he has achieved a little success, and the warrior monks of the conceited Southern Shaolin are no longer his opponents, so he is ready to go out of the temple to have a try. Yuan Jue took a sip of tea and continued: "When the abbot and Zao Wou-Ki competed, I and the two senior brothers were present, it was an unforgettable day for the poor monk, the old abbot held his own martial arts and was strong, leaving three points of strength to test Zao Wou-ki's ability first, but as soon as Zao Wou-Ki fought back, he shocked the world, crying ghosts and gods, everyone was stunned, just a move, the old abbot flew up like a paper kite, and then fell heavily on the ground, everyone didn't see what kind of move Zao Wou-Ki made, the old abbot had fallen to the ground, A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, his face was extremely pale, and he looked at Zao Wou-Ki with two eyes, and he died with a tilt of his head. Everyone stood there with a shocked face at this change, Zao Wou-Ki was also flustered, the old abbot was his mentor, treating him like his own father, but now he took his life with one move, can it not make him heartache. The masters of the Dharma Academy have already left their anger, and the senior monks of the other courtyards have also come over, seeing the abbot fall to the ground and dying, they are all filled with righteous indignation, vowing to take down Zao Wou-Ki and punish him severely, they all raised their hands, exposed their arms, clenched their fists, and the warrior monks outside also picked up the Shaolin stick and surrounded Zao Wou-ki. Zao Wou-Ki wanted to explain that he was by no means intentional, he was unintentional, and he never had the intention of harming his teacher. But the angry monks don't think much, usually the abbot takes special care of Zao Wou-ki, and his heart is already unbalanced, and now Zao Wou-Ki will take revenge and ruthlessly kill the abbot in one fell swoop, so that the white-eyed wolf who is inferior to the beast is indignant, and he will pay attention to Zao Wou-ki's quibbles. The master of the Dharma Academy struck first, and the sandstorm-like fist smashed on Zao Wou-ki's body, Zao Wou-Ki resisted with internal strength, but did not return the move, he didn't want the monk who had taught him martial arts to die in front of him again. The masters of the Dharma Academy saw that Zao Wou-Ki was still captured, and he wanted to escape punishment by killing the abbot, so he used all his strength to make a fierce move towards Zao Wou-ki's body. The monk next to him picked up the Shaolin stick and pumped it fiercely on Zao Wou-ki's body, and soon, Zao Wou-Ki was already covered with blood, but how could the monks stop, all of them regarded Zao Wou-Ki as an enemy, as a rat crossing the street, everyone shouted and beat him, and some warrior monks had already brought steel knives to cut off Zao Wou-ki's head to vent their anger. At this time, Zao Wou-Ki was furious, his temperament changed, and he became a demon, his eyes were blood-red, his body was full of blood and strips of monk's robes, and he was as terrifying as a devil. Since everyone doesn't give me a way to live, let's fight. Zao Wouji shouted, the blood on his head left red his eyes, his eyes were already blurred, Zao Wou-Ki didn't care, he used his skills, no one could resist Zao Wou-ki's hard-working Shaolin stunts, the masters of the Dharma Academy fell down one by one, and the warrior monks with knives and sticks also died a lot, but the Shaolin monks did not stop, they wanted to consume all his strength with Zao Wou-Ki to the end, no matter how high Zao Wou-ki's martial arts were, it was difficult to resist the endless attacks, and he always had to be angry. The Shaolin spirit sustains these monks in seeing death as home. Zao Wou-ki's eyes were clear, and when he saw the fallen brothers and sisters around him and those masters who cared for him, he felt a thrill in his heart, knowing that he had caused a shocking disaster and killed so many people for no reason, Zao Wou-Ki felt remorseful, and it was difficult to escape such a big crime. Zao Wou-Ki didn't want to die so many more people, so he started a light effort, picked up two Shaolin sticks, and struggled to break away from the monks, revealing a gap, Zao Wou-Ki took the opportunity to leave, jumped on the roof, and then crossed the branches on the roof, and jumped like a monkey on the tip of the branches of the woods, flying from this tree to that tree, and those monks who could catch up with Zao Wou-Ki soon disappeared in the woods.
