Chapter 50: Who Can Believe?

The old monk accepted Ren Shan's worship with a smile, and his eyes were full of relief. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Although he has been practicing for a long time and is proficient in Buddhism, there is always one thing in his heart that he can't let go. He always thought that the second senior brother died because of him, but the guilt in his heart was decades but one day. When I saw Ren Shan that day, I knew that there was still a successor to the mantle of the second senior brother, and I finally saw the hope of solving it like a matter of decades. And at this moment, the knot in my heart has been solved, and there is no obstacle in my heart, how can I not be happy.

Ren Shan remembered one more thing, so he asked, "Uncle Shi, even if you count it, you are the ancestor of the Void Master, why do you want them to call you Uncle Shi?" ”

The old monk thought for a while and said, "This has to start with the death of the second senior brother. After my brother passed away, the anger in my heart could not be vented. So he sneaked down the mountain and went to Fujian again, where the cult actually set up another leader, and he still did evil. I knew that I was invincible, so it took me two years to kill them one by one, and finally killed all the people in the cult. After that, I knew that the killing karma was too heavy, and I didn't dare to go back to Shaolin, but I stayed in a small rural temple. This time it has been another twenty years, but I was shocked to hear the news of the death of the senior brother. I hurried back to Shaolin, but I couldn't see my brother again. When the senior brother left, he still thought about me and told the nephew of Miaodi to find me and let me go back to Shaolin. ”

Ren Shan, the old monk, said plainly, but it took two years to destroy a sect full of masters with the power of one person, and the danger is known.

The old monk sighed and continued: "Since it is the last wish of the senior brother, I will stay. But I knew that my notoriety for killing was too strong, so I was afraid of affecting Shaolin's reputation, so I asked Miao Di to help me hide my identity. I had been away from the temple for a long time, and when I came back, not many people knew me anymore. Therefore, the people in the temple who know my identity are now only imaginary about their three brothers and sisters. After all, Xuzhi is now the head of the family, and he is also the oldest generation in the temple in terms of age. It would be a little strange if another uncle and ancestor popped up in plain water, so I asked them to call me uncle. ”

At this time, Ren Shan smirked and said, "In this way, wouldn't I be their uncle in the void?" ”

The old monk glanced at him and said, "If you like to be called uncle by a group of white-bearded old monks, that's fine." ”

Ren Shan thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but feel a chill on his body, and said, "That, forget it." Then he asked, "They don't know yet, do they?" ”

The old monk said, "I haven't told them yet, and I plan to tell them again tomorrow." ”

Ren Shan thought about it and said: "You can do this, but please tell them, you must not call me uncle, I don't want to be a monk yet." ”

The old monk smiled and said, "I can't help this, you can tell them yourself tomorrow." ”

Ren Shan asked again, "Then the Void Master, do they know about this martial art?" ”

The old monk said: "When the second senior brother left, he left me with his last words. He said that although this skill had been transformed by him, it was still too murderous. And it's not my Shaolin martial arts, don't let the monks in the temple practice. Therefore, no one else in the temple knew about it. Moreover, my Shaolin seventy-two stunts, practiced to the depth, is no worse than this skill. Speaking of this, he naturally showed a sense of pride.

Ren Shan said again: "Then if someone understands the stone carvings on the Xia Ke Island in the future, won't they have another uncle in the void?" ”

The old monk shook his head and said, "Although the stone carving was carved by the senior brother, it was not created by the senior brother. That martial art has been transformed by the senior brother, but it is like being reborn. The donor has understood the Vima Sutra thoroughly, and only then can he be regarded as the successor of my senior brother. And now that the scripture has been handed over to you, even if you pass it on to others, it will be your apprentice. ”

Ren Shan thought of something at this time, and asked: "On that day, the abbot of Miao Di was invited by the messenger to reward the good and punish the evil, but he drank Laba porridge, do you know where he is going?" ”

The old monk said: "I naturally don't know this. Everyone in the martial arts knows about the Laba porridge feast, but no one knows where the chivalrous island is. Don't......? ”

Ren Shan smiled bitterly: "That chivalrous island is the island where Master Daoqing left his secret book. After the island was discovered by two martial arts seniors, it took decades to understand the mystery. I wanted to invite the martial arts masters of the Central Plains to participate in the enlightenment, so there was a matter of rewarding the good and punishing the evil messengers to invite the heads of the factions to go to Xia Ke Island. ”

After hearing this, the old monk thought for a long time and said, "No, there is something wrong with this matter. ”

Ren Shan said: "Those two seniors are indeed not very malicious, and the juniors also came to the island by chance and realized the truth in the stone carvings. When I was on the island, I also saw a lot of martial arts seniors, and most of them were healthy. Also, there are no restrictions on people leaving the island. It's just that everyone is obsessed with comprehending the martial arts on the stone wall, but they are unwilling to leave. ”

The old monk frowned and said: "The heads of the various factions are indeed mostly people who are intoxicated with martial arts, otherwise it will be difficult to excel in the faction." But there are always exceptions, that is, you, nephew, are you willing to stay on the island for ten or twenty years? ”

Ren Shan thought of Ah Xiu at this time, and his heart warmed, so he said, "I definitely don't want to." ”

The old monk said: "Exactly, this chivalrous island has already invited guests three times, and a total of one or two hundred people have been invited. It is impossible for all of them to be willing to stay there forever. However, in the thirty years since the first invitation, I have not heard of a single person returning from Xia Ke Island. You know, those people are different from your nephew, they are all people with families and jobs, and it is impossible for them to come back, but they are incognito.

Ren Shan listened to the old monk's words, and also felt that this matter was strange, but he couldn't think of what the problem was.

At this time, the old monk clearly had something on his mind, and he was no longer interested in talking about it. Said to Ren Shan: "It's not too early today, you go back to rest first, and then understand the Vimala Sutra." With that, he drifted away.

Early the next morning, as soon as Ren Shan got up, Xiao Shami came in to report that the abbot of Void Mind and the two ancestors of Void and Void were waiting in the outer room. Ren Shan was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that it must be his cheap uncle Daojing who told the three old monks about the matter, and the three old monks came to see the uncle.

Ren Shan hurriedly washed up and came to the front hall. When the three old monks saw Ren Shan, they wanted to kneel down and bow down. This startled Ren Shan. Wouldn't it be a nightmare to let three old monks who are more than two hundred and fifty years old kowtow to themselves. Ren Shan hurriedly jumped to the side and shouted repeatedly: "Seniors, get up, get up." Seeing that Ren Shan had already jumped behind his buttocks, he had to get up and say, "Since Uncle Shi has ordered, let's get up." After the three old monks got up, they turned around and bowed deeply to Ren Shan.

Ren Shan said at this time: "The three masters, the younger generation also got the true inheritance of Master Daoqing by chance. But the younger generation is not a Shaolin disciple after all, so don't call me uncle. ”

Hearing this, he said with a straight face: "Master Daoqing is the ancestor of my uncle, and my uncle is his successor, and since I am my uncle, this has nothing to do with whether he is a Shaolin disciple or not." Please also ask Uncle Shi not to call himself a junior in front of us in the future; Uncle Shi can call me to wait for the Dharma name in the future, and don't call me a master or anything. Otherwise, I will have no place to be ashamed. Ren Shan was helpless, but let him directly call the name of the old monk who could be his grandfather at a few ages, and he felt uncomfortable, so he only called the host, the first seat.

A few people sat down at this time, but it was the empty thought that had never spoken much that opened his mouth first. "Uncle Shi has also been to the Xia Ke Island, and he has also seen my master and the abbot of Miaodi. And although the Chivalry Island can't help but bring people back to the island, the rivers and lakes have never heard of people who go to the banquet come back from the Chivalry Island. ”

Ren Shan said: "Exactly, I already told Uncle Daojing last night, and he also thinks that there must be a reason for it." ”

At this time, Xuzhi looked at Ren Shan and said: "It has been thirty years since the order of rewarding good and punishing evil appeared in the rivers and lakes. Uncle Shi has heard of the changes in the rivers and lakes in the past 30 years? ”

Ren Shan said honestly: "I've only heard of it sporadically." ”

"That's no wonder. After all, if we hadn't lived longer, I am afraid that we might not have been able to see the inappropriateness of it. ”

Sighing, Void Sense continued: "Since the beginning of this dynasty, it has been more than a hundred years since the world has been peaceful. Although there are always some killings in the martial arts, they are generally stable. However, since thirty years ago, the messenger of rewarding good and punishing evil appeared out of thin air and forcibly invited the heads of various factions to go to Xia Ke Island, and the martial arts have been in turmoil. ”

Ren Shanqi said: "Why is this? ”

Void said: "Uncle Shi is the master of the Changle Gang. If the leader of the Changle Gang suddenly wants to go to some banquet and never returns, what will happen to the gang? ”

Ren Shan thought of Situ Heng and Shi Zhongyu not long ago, and even he was killed, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Naturally, it will be a mess." ”

Void said: "The Changle Gang has an uncle in charge, but it's just a mess for a while." Many sects are not so simple. Xuzhi took a sip of tea and took a sip, and continued: "Thirty years ago, Chun Yutong, the head of the Huashan faction, received the order to reward the good and punish the evil, and there has been no news since he went to Xia Ke Island. In the first year, the people in the sect were still waiting for him to come back, but there was nothing. A year later, the position of head of the family has been vacant for a long time, and some people have thoughts. Chun Yutong's younger brother Murong Xifeng and Chun Yutong's eldest son Chun Zicheng are also considered to be outstanding people for a while, and there are many people in the door who support them. ”

But these two people are thinking about the position of the head of the house, and neither of them will take a step back, so naturally there are many contradictions. Finally one day, the two sides were fighting. In this battle, although Murong Xifeng's faction won a tragic victory, the century-old elite of Huashan's faction was destroyed in one fell swoop. More than 20 years have passed, and the Huashan faction has still not recovered. ”

Xuzhi sighed again and said, "The Huashan faction is okay, although its vitality has been greatly damaged, it has not broken its inheritance. Some sects have completely turned into the smoke of the past. The Emei faction in Sichuan, the head of Wufengzi, also received an order to reward the good and punish the evil twenty years ago and went to Xia Ke Island. This time, it was only the month after he left, and there was civil strife in the faction, and there were also heavy casualties. This is not the end, the Qingcheng faction and the Emei faction, another major faction in Sichuan, have a long-standing feud, and seeing that the strength of the Emei faction has been greatly damaged, they took advantage of this opportunity to completely slaughter the Emei faction, and the chickens and dogs are not left. ”

At this time, the virtual consciousness said: "This kind of thing, after the order to reward the good and punish the evil appeared, it is endless. In the past thirty years, martial arts masters have suffered heavy losses. If there is no conspiracy in this, who can believe it? ”
