Chapter 183: Shaolin Temple

After Yongcheng waited for these words, several people were silent. Especially the Jiaxing uncle, who was going to go to the prince for help, kept silent about this matter. With the sperm-like personalities of these people, there will be no wonder if there is any truth to what this Yongcheng Hou said?

It is said that a companion is like a tiger, which is not false at all. Just as Yongcheng Hou said, it has been more than 100 years since the founding of the country. After the destruction of the Tang Dynasty that year, Emperor Taizu rewarded the founding heroes of the country, and was awarded the title of the king of a county, the prince of nine countries, the seventeen candidates, the twenty-one counts, and the thirty-six barons.

Over the past hundred years, there have been ups and downs, except for the Guilin County Palace, which has been standing, the rest of the princes and princes have only left more than 20 in this dynasty. Those princes who disappeared, some were robbed of their homes because they were traitors, some were robbed of their titles because they were caught in the struggle for the throne, and some disappeared naturally because of the title of the queen.

The Great Qi ancestral system was knighted for merit, although the title of the founding hero can be hereditary, but the side branches are not allowed to inherit the title. Once a lord has no heirs, the title will be eliminated naturally. As for non-founding heroes, although they can be knighted, non-special titles cannot be hereditary. Even if there is a special purpose, the title is to be reduced.

In this era, the level of medical care itself is not strong. In addition, there is no treatment and prevention for some infectious diseases, and even the royal family cannot guarantee that the children born will survive. In addition, most of the children of these families, except for a few people, are not diligent in their limbs and do not distinguish between grains and grains. Compared with his ancestor Prancing Horse Field, his own body is much weaker.

In addition to the children who died young, there are also many people who have not given birth to children. Although each family accepts wives and concubines, there is no guarantee that they will all have sons who can inherit the title. The imperial court did not allow the side branches to attack the lord, so because the attack on the lord was an absolute heir, and there were a few families whose titles were taken away.

Another one was recently deprived of his knighthood and imprisoned for the assassination of the King of England. Not to mention whether the title can be kept, it is whether the old life can be kept. Who made this guy very unfortunate and happened to control the Left Army of the Crane? There was an assassination of the prince, and the murderer still used the waist card of the left army of the control crane, who else could the emperor clean up if he didn't clean it up?

In addition, the change in Huaiyang back then, it was not only the clan that was unlucky. Except for the Emperor Liezong, who was eager to seize power, but did not have a long brain, took the lives of a family of old and young, as well as a large number of civil and military officials. There are also several founding ministers who were beheaded because they helped Emperor Liezong seize power.

The existing more than 20 families are different from the Guilin County Mansion on Guangnan West Road, as well as the three Guogong Mansions that moved back to their hometowns after Taizu's death and did not ask about political affairs. These nobles who have been living in the capital have survived for more than 100 years to the present, haven't they gone through countless storms?

In the face of a chaotic situation, that is not a set of self-protection. That is to say, although these people are capable of fighting on the battlefield, they are far from their ancestors. But this ability to do wall grass is all one by one. What's more, this Yongcheng Uncle has been straightforward enough, so straightforward that he has already said it clearly.

Huang Qiong naturally didn't know about this conversation in the front of the palace. At present, Huang Qiong, who has rushed to Songshan with King Yong. Naturally, I didn't know that because I couldn't get used to seeing something, what I said to the more than 100 cavalrymen actually led to so many consequences. As a result, the emperor changed his original use of the Imperial Forest Army, and several of the palace commanders and envoys were all in command and command, and even some of them had trouble sleeping.

At this time, it is this era, and Huang Qiong, who still retains the pure scenery of the mountains. Even if you know, you probably won't pay attention to anything, let alone have any sense of regret. Those old men have been in charge of the front division of the palace for many years, and the eight armies of the Royal Forest have become a group of gentlemen who can only put on a guard of honor, and they will not have no responsibility?

Originally, when he was pulled over by King Yong, Huang Qiong was still a little nervous in his heart. When he saw that it was not like what he had seen in his previous life, it was a little overdeveloped, and it became a tourist area full of people. When Songshan is still a primitive scenery at the moment, although I have been here many times in my previous life, I still feel relaxed and happy in my heart.

The danger of Taimur Mountain and the majesty of Shaomu Mountain have made Huang Qiong, who has hardly taken a step out of Luoyang City since he came to this world, feel unusually pleasing to the eye. "The sunrise of Songshan Pass, the morning bell frightens the birds", the familiar one in the previous life, makes the Songshan Shaolin Temple truly famous at home and abroad.

made Huang Qiong, who was still very young at that time, know for the first time that there is such a temple in the world, and Huang Qiong has heard it more than once. For this Buddhist temple, which once had various legends and was written into various martial arts masterpieces, it has always retained a curiosity.

It's just that when he came here in his previous life, Shaolin Temple was far from being a simple Buddhist temple, but more of a tourist attraction. The Shaolin Temple, which tossed itself into the market, is far from the old appearance. At this time, he can see the real original, known as the ancestor Buddhist temple of Zen Buddhism, and Huang Qiong feels that this trip is worthwhile.

However, what Huang Qiong never expected was that after arriving at the Shaolin Temple, King Yong, who was originally a little bohemian, became a Buddhist believer with a treasure of the best. At the foot of the mountain, he began to dismount and walk, and when he arrived at the mountain gate, he was even more pious. After entering the Daxiong Treasure Hall, he respectfully kowtowed and burned incense.

This change in King Yong made Huang Qiong extremely curious. In his memory, his seventh brother did everything, but he didn't believe in any religion, and he never worshiped Buddha. Why did you get to this temple and suddenly burn incense and worship the Buddha?

However, for the mutation of King Yong, his inner curiosity is curiosity. But under the drive of King Yong, although he did not believe in Buddhism, Huang Qiong also burned a stick of incense and added some incense money to the merit box in the temple. After all, what is the Yongwang capital, and it is a little bad if he doesn't show it at all. As for King Yong himself, he will burn incense when he sees the Buddha after entering the mountain gate.

And the monk who accompanies them also has some eyesight. Although these two people are young, whether it is the dress or the momentum on their bodies, they are by no means from ordinary families, but they are extremely polite in their attitude. Especially after these two donated a lot of incense money, they were even more respectful.

After King Yong finished burning incense, when Huang Qiong proposed to visit the temple, he nodded without hesitation. Compared with King Yong, who burned incense and kowtowed when he saw the Buddha, Huang Qiong was more interested in visiting the temple. Later, he thought that King Yong's movements were too slow, so he simply played by himself.

Huang Qiong, accompanied by the monk of Zhike, walked and watched all the way. It wasn't until he came to the Scripture Pavilion of Shaolin Temple that Huang Qiong stopped, pointed to the Scripture Pavilion in front of him and said: "Since ancient times, it has been said that the world's martial arts come out of Shaolin. I don't know if this is true or not, but I have heard some people mention that the lack of ** skill is indeed a must in the world. ”

"I want to come to this Shaolin Temple since the Bodhidharma Patriarch crossed to the east, the mental and martial arts secrets summarized by the senior monks of the past dynasties are probably collected in this scripture pavilion. If you can enter this Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and read it, won't it become the envy of the people in the rivers and lakes? I really don't know, apart from Shaolin disciples, who else can enter this Tibetan Scripture Pavilion? ”

Regarding Huang Qiong's feelings, this knowledgeable monk was very discerning and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Back to the donor's words, Shaolin Temple couldn't see the general trend of the world back then, and it has always been a pseudo-dynasty. Relying on hundreds of monks and soldiers in the temple, they confronted the army of our Celestial Empire, and finally suffered a catastrophe. ”

"After experiencing the catastrophe of the year, the world's martial arts out of Shaolin have long been a thing of the past. Most of the various martial arts cheats that were originally preserved have already been dispersed to all sides or have been burned. Now in this scripture pavilion, there are no other classics other than Buddhist scriptures. However, it turned out that the martial arts secrets hidden in this scripture pavilion, the little monk knew some of his whereabouts. ”

At this point, the monk suddenly closed his mouth. And seeing this monk smiling, but silent. Huang Qiong, who had something in mind at the moment, quietly stuffed a thirty-piece silver ticket into the monk's wide robe sleeve.

After the monk took the silver ticket, he didn't have time to see the amount. But from the previous two who added sesame oil to the Buddha, they also knew that the amount given by the great nobleman in front of him would definitely not be small. When even smiled and said, "The little monk heard about it." Although the Shaolin Temple encountered a great disaster back then, in fact, the martial arts cheats did not lose much. ”

"Most of the martial arts cheats in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion were copied by the King of Guilin. At present, these fist scriptures and sword books should be hidden in the Guilin County Palace. A small number of monks, along with some of the monks who escaped, were lost. And the little monk also heard that when the imperial army surrounded Shaomu Mountain, Shaolin Temple already felt the danger. ”

"Before the army attacked the mountain, the most essential part of all the martial arts secrets was hidden. was copied by the Guilin County Palace, but it was only a part. It's just that these essence parts were hidden there by those monks, but the little monk didn't know about it. At present, the monks in the temple have long been unpracticed except for chanting and worshipping the Buddha. But? ”

Speaking of which, the monk stopped the topic again. Seeing that this monk looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Huang Qiong said in her heart that this monk was a good hand at extortion. However, Huang Qiong also understands, how many monks really jumped out of the red dust and are not in the Five Elements? Thinking of this, Huang Qiong stuffed another silver ticket.

After taking the second silver ticket, this monk, who was a little fat-headed and big-eared, was already smiling like a flower on his face at this time. The eyes that were already small even shrunk into a slit when they smiled. hurriedly said: "In the past few days, there is a noble son who seems to have some status, and he has been living in the temple for several days with a servant. ”

"When I first entered the temple, I once asked the little monk about the secret books of martial arts in the temple that year. Now, the boy has not left the temple and is still living in the guest room. It's just that he has never been seen out all day. On weekdays, three meals a day are only allowed to be delivered outside the guest room. ”

As for the identity of this son, the little monk is not very clear. Judging from his behavior since entering the temple, the little monk has always suspected that he is a fugitive from the imperial court. However, this person was generous, and the abbot did not allow others to interfere, so although the little monk was suspicious, it was not good to interfere too much. ”

The words of this guest monk made Huang Qiong slightly stunned. But then he smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "You, a monk who knows the guest, are doing a very good job, and you must continue to work hard." Maybe in the near future, you may have a different opportunity. Okay, arrange two meditation rooms for me and my friends. ”

"We came from Gongyi, we didn't even rest, so we rode all the way to your temple, and our bodies and bones were really tired, so we rested in the temple for a night. As for the sesame oil money, please rest assured that the monk will be preferred. There are also our horses, please also ask the master of your temple to help take care of them. ”
