When the monks saw that the elder said this, they did not say more, and Luda and the others saw that there were people constantly coming in and out, and then they heard the bells and drums, and five or six hundred monks, all dressed in robes, all went to the throne and clasped their palms together to salute.

Luda came to the throne under the leadership of the pure hair man and the walking boy, and the elder removed the scarf for Luda, and divided the hair into nine road threads, and the clean hair man first shaved all the week, but when he was to shave his beard, Luda said: "It's good to keep these and sprinkle the house." The monks couldn't help laughing, and Shi Jin kept shaking his head, feeling that Luda, a monk, would not be able to come out for long, so he had to return to the vulgar.

The elder was not angry, but just smiled and said, "Listen, everyone." "Recite the word" There is not a single grass left, and the six roots are pure, and they are shaved off with you, so as not to compete. ”

The elder recited the words and shouted, "Duh! Shave them all! "The net hair is only one sword, and all of them are shaved. Before the first seat is put on the throne, ask the elders to give the name of the Dharma. The elder took the empty head and said, "A little spiritual light, it is worth a thousand gold, the Dharma is vast, and the name and wisdom are profound." ”

Since then, Luda has become Lu Zhishen, and Lu Zhishen, who is wearing Buddhist clothes, feels twisted, Shi Jin smiled and boasted, "In the future, it is not good to call Ti Zhi again, you have to call the master." ”

Lu Zhishen looked at the elder and asked, "Master, you said that Xiao Langjun is your apprentice, then wouldn't I have become Xiao Langjun's uncle?" ”

The elder closed his eyes and calculated, and said with a smile, "Your little Langjun is not in yin and yang, and he escaped from the five elements, so he is not an ordinary person, so he has to call each other brothers." ”

Lu Zhishen touched his big bald head that he had just shaved and said with a smile: "That's good, I'm afraid that I will be embarrassed to see Xiao Langjun next time." ”

Shi Jin kept it in his heart, and he was even more in awe of Jiang De.

The elder arranged a residence for Lu Zhishen, and let Shi Jin also live with him, Lu Zhishen and Shi Jin made a gun and stick on weekdays, and did not go to recite the Buddhist scriptures, other monks were not used to him, and went to the elder to sue him, the elder only said that Lu Zhishen was very human, and there would be positive results in the future, so he didn't care about it, and half a month passed in a flash.

On this day, the two competed, Shi Jin's whistle stick was once again beaten by Lu Zhishen, Shi Jin shook his head and said, "The master has divine power, Da Lang is really inferior." ”

Lu Zhishen smiled and said, "This is yours, I have also seen the martial arts of your master Wang Jinjiao, then fight with me, I'm afraid I will still lose more and win less, besides, this battle does not rely on brute force, otherwise I will still practice martial arts." ”

"What Zhishen said is very true." A voice came, and the two looked back, but it was the elder who walked over.

"I've seen the Elders!" The two of them saluted the elder together, and the elder looked at the whistle stick in Shi Jin's hand and sighed, "I haven't touched this old brother for many years, and I really miss it a little." ”

Lu Zhishen knew that this elder had martial arts, and he saw the opportunity today, so he said, "Master, today is also fate, why don't you give us some guidance, and it won't bury this opportunity." ”

The elder stroked his beard and smiled, "You idiot also know the word chance, so I'll show you today." ”

As he spoke, the elder didn't take a whistle stick, but went to the side to get a Qimen weapon, he stepped forward and asked Lu Zhishen, "Idiot, do you know what this is?" Why this look? ”

Lu Zhishen shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”

The elder said, "This is the crescent shovel, which is the unique weapon of my Buddhism, you see this side, like a shovel, but it is the sun, this side is curved, but it is the moon, the moon is used to loosen the soil, and the day is used to bury, my Buddhist people are outside, and they generally take this crescent shovel or Zen staff, this Zen staff is used to sleep when sitting meditation, and this crescent shovel is used to bury the corpses encountered on the road, whether it is people or birds and beasts, so that they can enter the earth for peace." ”

Lu Zhishen immediately shook his hand and said, "How can it be such an unfortunate thing, it's really not good." ”

The elder smiled and said, "You usually use a weapon to kill people and create karma, and I am a magic weapon to hide people's achievements, whose bad luck are you talking about?" ”

When Lu Zhishen heard this, he knocked his head and said with a smile, "What the master said is that this thing is just a blade at both ends, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come to the battlefield." ”

The elder nodded and said, "It seems that you are also a soldier in the army, this crescent shovel is indeed a blade at both ends, only for generals, not for weapons, but I think you may have a big career to do in the future, but it is also appropriate to learn this." ”

Learn this? Before Lu Zhishen could react, Shi Jin first bowed and said, "Thank you master for accepting my brother as an apprentice, brother, don't kneel down yet!" ”

Lu Zhishen knelt down at this time, kowtowed to the elder, and the elder nodded and said, "Zhishen, you have to remember that to learn any martial arts, you must first learn the mental method before you can achieve success." ”

As soon as Shi Jin heard that he was going to teach the mental method, he hurriedly excused himself and prepared to leave, but the elder stopped him and said, "I see that you also have meritorious deeds to build in the future, although this martial art today is not suitable for you, but you have a high level of understanding, and it is also beneficial to take a look." ”

When Shi Jin heard this, he also kowtowed to the elder twice, saying that although he did not get started, he had the grace of preaching.

The elder continued, "In the past, I was young and vigorous, and I had a martial arts, and I consciously could fight for the first place in the world, so I took one of my scholars to go south and north, challenging the world's heroes, whether it was Songshan Shaolin, Huangshan Mingjiao, or Dali Duanjia, Khitan masters, or the generals in the Western Army, they were all defeated one by one.

Later, I finally saw through the red dust and entered the empty door, my master said that I killed too much, and I had to make merit before I could practice, and gave me a crescent shovel, and I used this shovel to go down the mountain and bury the bones of nine hundred thousand mermaids, birds and beasts, and also on the way, completely suppressed my own demons, but the demons were difficult to destroy, and they needed to be channeled, and finally became this martial arts. ”

After the elder finished speaking, his eyes closed, Luda and Shi Jin only felt that the surroundings were gradually quieting down, and they even knew that the voice was almost gone, and then looked at the elder, and the elder shouted violently, "Mad Demon Flame Dance!" ”

I only saw the elder's eyes open, a murderous aura, Lu Zhishen and Shi Jin couldn't help but take a step back, and then looked at the elder's eyes, where was there a trace of compassion, his eyes were red like blood, like a demon descending to earth, the elder raised his cane and fell, the crescent shovel was like a giant python out of the mountain, and then waved, and like a hungry wolf pounced on food, the crescent cane danced faster and faster, the elder sometimes attacked, sometimes resisted, as if fighting with many enemies, the characteristics of the blades at both ends of the crescent staff were made to the extreme by him, only to see the moves, more attacks and less defenses, and the defense is also with the attack, above the ground, The cracks can be seen, which shows the depth of its skill.

"The sky is burning!!" The elder roared again, and the whole person seemed to burst into flames, and a rakshasa seemed to be visible in the firelight, and the crescent moon spun and rose, directly attacking a boulder, and the stone soldiers collided, only a loud noise was heard, and the dust gradually dispersed, and the boulder looked as if it was unscathed.

"Good elder, the momentum is amazing, but it's a pity that he should be older, otherwise the stone will be shattered!" Shi Jin shook his head and sighed.

Before the words fell, only a click was heard, and the boulder was actually divided into two pieces, but the gap seemed to have been cut by some peerless divine weapon, extremely smooth, and Shi Jin and Lu Zhishen were dumbfounded.

At this time, the elder had already collected his merits, his eyes were full of compassion, and he recited the Buddha's name and said, "Good, what Shi Shi just said is the skill of the old monk when I was twenty years old, and at that time the power can be developed but not gathered, so the rock will be shattered, and when the old monk and I stand, it can already be gathered in one place, no matter what kind of blade is used, it can only hit one point, destroy its foundation, and not hurt its others." ”

Shi Jin swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly bowed, "The kid has eyes but no beads, please forgive the master." ”

The elder laughed and said, "What is there to forgive, Zhishen, you can figure out this staff method yourself, and I will come to see you after ten years." ”

Lu Zhishen watched the elder leave, swallowed his saliva and said, "Who is this elder, he is so powerful." ”

Shi Jin scratched his head and said, "Little brother, I also like to inquire about the anecdotes of the heroes in the rivers and lakes on weekdays, and what the elder said just now reminds me of a person." ”

Lu Zhishen asked curiously, "Who is it?" ”

Shi Jin looked at the elder's back in disbelief and said, "Master, do you know why the Shaolin Temple has not been famous in recent years?" ”

Lu Zhishen shook his head and said he didn't know.

Shi Jin said, "It is said that the Shaolin Temple was very famous in the Tang Dynasty, with thousands of acres of fertile land and thousands of monks.

In the early days of my dynasty, it was also the leader in the martial arts, but when it came to the time of Renzong, there was a master who swept Shaolin three times, and the reputation of Shaolin fell sharply, attracting masters from all walks of life to challenge in turn, and finally forced Shaolin Temple to close the mountain, and even made Shaolin separate.

In the end, Shaolin was almost destroyed, and it was this strange man who stopped the foreign masters and re-established the Shaolin Temple. According to the elder's description, I'm afraid that the strange man is the elder. ”

Lu Zhishen was even more in awe of the elders in his heart, it was nothing to sweep a famous faction, what was terrible was to sweep and sweep, sweep and sweep again, and then sweep three times, and beat a big faction apart, and finally rescued this big faction, how many such people are there in the world?

Lu Zhishen and Shi Jin have been learning martial arts in the temple since then, and after another month, Shi Jin remembered Jiang De's instructions, and saw that Lu Zhishen was fine, so he said goodbye, Lu Zhishen and Shi Jin said goodbye in tears, looking at the empty courtyard, I couldn't help but feel depressed, and the stomach was itchy, so I went down the mountain to buy some wine and meat to eat.

When I went down the mountain, I saw a man in the distance, carrying a bucket and singing up the mountain, covered with a bucket lid. As soon as he walked past Lu Zhishen's side, a smell of wine turned into Lu Zhishen's nose, this smell, I couldn't stand it, Lu Zhishen grabbed the person, and said with a smile, "Good man, are you wine?" ”

The man looked at Lu Zhishen and said, "Great monk, I am wine, and I want to send it to the temple to eat for those fire workers, straight halls, sedan chair men, and old men in the temple." ”

Lu Zhishen suddenly said urgently: "Why don't you have my share?" It's all eating in the same temple, how can they eat alone, in this way, I will give you money, you sell me all this wine, you go and pick two more barrels! ”

The man hurriedly said, "How can this be done?" You are a monk, the master has already passed down the word, this wine cannot be sold to monks, otherwise you won't buy my things, you don't want to harm me. ”

Lu Zhishen was addicted to alcohol at this time, where did he care about so much, he drank the wine after grabbing it, the man couldn't rob him, he was angry and cried, drank a bucket, only felt refreshed in his heart, took out the silver ingots from his arms and threw it to the man and said, "The money will not be less for you, the wine is not bad, take more in the future." ”

This drink is drunk, and then Lu Zhishen returned to the mountain, made a fuss, was scolded by the elders, and didn't say much, and then looked at the other side of Fuzhou.

- Fuzhou

Fuzhou, located on the side of the Great Wall, the left is Huanzhou, the right is the security army, and then it is the land of Xixia, to say that Fuzhou is the most famous, not the war horse warriors who came out here, but the folded family.

"Lord, this Zhe family is really amazing, from Fold Ruan Qi to guard the northwest, it has been seven generations now, if you start from Fold Zongben, it will be ten generations.

The leader of the previous generation of the Zhe family was Zhi Kexing, an administrative general for more than 30 years, experienced 170 battles of all sizes, killed thousands of enemies, and died of illness three years ago.

There is nothing too famous for the current folding family, most of them are young, but among them, such as folding can be restored, folded can be big, folded can be saved, folded can be sought, etc., have gradually emerged, although I have not seen the handsome talent, but the generals are all there. ”

Jiang De sighed, "It's been too long to fold the family, and they have completely become the soil emperor of this land, but they have guarded the border for my Han people for many years, and they also have credit... That's it, let's talk about it later, who is the current head of the folding family? ”

Xu Guanzhong said, "The folding family is originally made up of the sinicization of foreign tribes, so there is no one who can really say that he is the head of the family, and all of them are gathered in various rooms to discuss. ”

Jiang De sighed and said, "Okay, let's go for a visit, and by the way, see how the Megatron Folding Army is." ”

Among the western army, it was also divided into many kinds, one was the forbidden army transferred from the interior, the second was the border army that was originally in the northwest, the third was the Tibetan soldiers selected from various tribes, and the fourth was the archers selected from the peasants.

Needless to say, the forbidden army has family members in the Guannei, and coming to the northwest to fight is a military order, and the second is that the western army has more food and salary, and the military achievements are good. Most of these people were following the orders of officials from Bianjing.

And whether it is the border army or the Tibetan soldiers, they are more likely to listen to the words of their local leaders and leaders, which is also the real reliance of the Zhe family, the Yao family and other big clans to be the emperor of the soil in the northwest.

However, fortunately, the emperors of the Song Dynasty were extremely generous to these Northwest tribes, and the Northwest Clans were also loyal to Bianjing, and they had died for the Song State for a hundred years, and they did not know how many clansmen had died for themselves, and the Western Xia and Liao States were incompatible, and the Song Dynasty court was not worried about their rebellion.

- Folded family

"Wow! This cotton is so good! A man took the cotton clothes and pants sent by Jiang De, and his mouth couldn't close when he smiled, he looked at Jiang De and asked, "Xiao Langjun, you said that this thing can be planted in my northwest, and you don't need any fertile land?" Don't expect my border people to have no knowledge. ”

Jiang De pointed to his head and smiled, "If the kid lies, the adult will take my head away, and the anger of the Fold family, even the Taishi will not protect me." ”

Zhe Ke laughed and said, "Look at you, what did you say, the brothers of the planting family actually wrote to tell us, they all believe in you, and I also believe in you, but when will it be planted?" ”

Jiang De glanced at Xu Guanzhong, Xu Guanzhong took out a handkerchief, the handkerchief was wrapped with some seeds, Jiang De said, "This thing is still less, it's too late this year, you can try to plant some next year, and you can expand it the year after tomorrow, if you want to really use it, you have to have at least five years of work!" ”
