Chapter 269: Shaolin
Early the next morning, the girl in white left Kaifeng and headed towards a mountain south of Kaifeng.
This mountain is one of the five famous mountains in the Central Plains - Songshan.
It is known as one of the five mountains, famous in the world, but it is more famous than a temple on Songshan Mountain-Shaolin Temple.
Shaolin Temple was built by Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, at the beginning it was just a small temple, until decades later after the Tianzhu monk Bodhidharma settled, this Zen temple began to be famous all over the world. From the Northern Wei Dynasty to now has a history of more than 600 years, Shaolin Temple has gradually become the leader of the world's martial arts, and the Wuqing Elder of Shaolin Temple is also known as the second master in the world.
The girl in white stopped her horse at the bottom of the mountain, and she walked into the mountain with a sword alone.
Her speed was extremely fast, and by the afternoon she had entered the Shaomu Mountain, the hinterland of Songshan Mountain.
It's already late autumn, and the leaves are also drifting on Mt. Shomuro.
After another half an hour, she came to the gate of the famous Shaolin Temple.
The Shaolin Temple of this era is very different from the Shaolin Temple seen in later generations.
Historically, the Shaolin Temple has been damaged many times and rebuilt many times. Many of the Shaolin buildings seen in later generations were built in the Ming and Qing dynasties, including the mountain gate of the Shaolin Temple in later generations, which were built in the Qing Dynasty.
The Shaolin Temple in later generations is magnificent, not like a place of Qing cultivation, but like a rich and noble family in the deep mountains.
The current Shaolin Temple is unusually simple, looking from afar, there are no tall buildings, only rows of monks' houses. Of course, ancient buildings such as Tallinn and Dharma Cave also existed in this era.
The girl stopped in front of the Shaolin Temple, a square where the fallen leaves had been swept away.
She went straight to the gate, and just as she reached the door, two young monks came out of it.
The two young monks looked at her in some surprise, they didn't expect that a woman would come to the Shaolin Temple at such a moment.
And this woman's face is extremely beautiful, and she has an indescribable dust aura on her body. She didn't seem to be in the world, as if she was a Nine Heavens Xuannu who came to the world. The two young monks stayed there, and after a while, the two monks came back to their senses, their faces were flushed, and one of the monks said, "This female benefactor, the front is my Buddhist retreat, and outsiders are not allowed to trespass." ”
The girl nodded and said, "This is the Shaolin Temple, I naturally know." However, I was invited by the abbot of your temple to come here, and I would like to inform me. ”
The two monks were taken aback, and one of them said, "You were invited by the presiding abbot?" How is this possible? ”
The Shaolin abbot is well-known in the world, and he is the leader of the righteous path, and the girl in front of him looks only seventeen or eighteen years old, how can the Shaolin abbot invite a girl to come to the Shaolin Temple?
"I also asked the two senior brothers to report it, and said that Tianshan sent Qin Yuzhen to ask for a meeting." The girl said.
"Ahh You are Qin Yuzhen, the contemporary descendant of the Tianshan Sect? The two monks were startled again, and the next monk stayed here, while the other monk had hurried inside.
******
Not long after, a person ran out of the Shaolin Temple.
This man is not a monk, but a noble son with an excellent bearing!
He was dressed in a fine robe, handsome in appearance, and wore a sword at his waist. There was an indescribable arrogance on his face, and his identity was obviously extraordinary.
If Zhao Chen was here, he would definitely be able to recognize this person. It turned out that this person was none other than one of those Jiangnan martial arts people led by Lin Lingsu when Zhao Chen went to northern Shaanxi. His name is Xue Mingyu, he is a disciple of the Xianxia faction, and he is also a rising star of Jiangnan Wulin Dao, a famous young man on the rivers and lakes.
At this moment, when he came to the gate of the temple, he saw the girl in white standing there, and his face showed an expression of surprise and surprise.
"Senior Sister Qin, is it really you?" Xue Mingyu said in surprise.
"Senior Brother Xue, farewell to Jiangnan, long time no see." Qin Yuzhen smiled and said.
Although she was smiling, she gave people the feeling of rejection. Xue Mingyu didn't care, in his heart this is a fairy, and a fairy should be like this.
"Senior Sister Qin, please come in quickly. The abbot of Chengming is waiting for you inside. By the way, where have you been in the past six months? Why are you here now? Xue Mingyu said.
At that moment, Xue Mingyu, Qin Yuzhen and others entered the Shaolin Temple.
"During this time, I have traveled a lot of places, from Jiangnan to Sichuan and Shu to Guanshan and the Central Plains, and finally came here." Qin Yu really said.
"Senior Sister Qin, what are you doing in these many places?" Xue Mingyu said.
"Naturally, it's to look at the lives of the people in the world, and see what my Great Song Dynasty has become now." Qin Yu really said.
"What is there to see about those ordinary pariahs? If Senior Sister Qin likes it, wouldn't it be good for me to accompany Senior Sister Qin to see some gardens in the south of the Yangtze River and some famous mountains and scenic spots in the future? Xue Mingyu said.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Xue." Qin Yuzhen just nodded lightly and said lightly.
Xue Mingyu's face showed an even more happy expression, he only had this Qin Yuzhen in his eyes, so much so that he almost fell to the ground.
At this time, there were several young masters of Jiangnan martial arts in the distance. They were also the people who followed Lin Lingsu to northern Shaanxi at the beginning, and one of them was tall and majestic, and it was Hong Tianjing of the Dongxuan Sect. There is another person who has reached middle age and has a calm demeanor, it is Shennong to help Zhou Qingshan.
After these people saw the girl in white, they actually saluted one after another, and Hong Tianjing looked at Qin Yuzhen, and he also showed an extremely admiring expression.
"Miss Qin, Abbot Chengming and Elder Wuqing are waiting for you in front." Zhou Qingshan Road.
Qin Yuzhen nodded, stopped talking for the moment, and walked forward.
After a quarter of an hour and a half, they came to the door of the abbot's room.
Here at the moment, several monks are waiting. These monks are quite old, one of them has white eyebrows, but his face is unusually ruddy, without any wrinkles, he is the current Shaolin abbot Chengming. Although his martial arts are not as good as Elder Wuqing, his status in the martial arts is definitely higher than that of Elder Wuqing. He is a true leader of the righteous path and has a high position.
"Yuzhen has seen the master!" Qin Yuzhen bowed respectfully and said.
"Master Qin, nephew, please get up quickly! Uncle Wuqing and Lin Daochang are waiting for their nephews inside. Cheng Ming said.
At that moment, Qin Yuzhen entered the room, and saw that the room was very simple and neatly arranged. There was a table in the house, and at the moment there were two people sitting at the table. One of the Taoist priests dressed up was the world-famous Lin Lingsu. There is also a person who is short and dressed as a monk, who is Elder Wuqing. At this moment, the two were playing against each other, and when they saw Lin Lingsu and his son fall, Wuqing let out a long laugh and said, "Lao Wei lost." ”
Lin Lingsu smiled slightly and said, "Since Senior Qin's nephew has arrived, please take a seat." ”
At that moment, Qin Yuzhen sat down, and at this time, she found that there were some other Jiangnan martial arts people in the room, and Lin Lingsu's disciple Zhao Pingzhi was also here. Zhao Pingzhi looked at Lin Lingsu, his face was slightly red, and he actually lowered his head.
Shaolin abbot Chengming, Hong Tianjing, Xue Mingyu, Zhou Qingshan and others entered the room one after another and sat down.
******
"Master Qin's nephew traveled all over the world, what did he gain?" Lin Lingsu looked at Qin Yuzhen and said with a smile.
"The world is ruined, and the lives are ruined! Especially in the Central Plains, the roads are dry bones, the people are rare, and the number of wild beasts is less than the number of the people! Yuzhen sighed with emotion! However, in the areas of Sichuan, Shu, Hanzhong, and Guanshan, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and it seems that they are better than before. Qin Yu really said.
"Oh?" Lin Lingsu's eyes showed a look of disbelief.
"Yuzhen will never dare to say anything." Qin Yu really said.
"This Emperor Xuanwu has some ability to govern the country." Lin Lingsu snorted coldly and said.
"He implemented rent reduction orders in Sichuan, Shu, Hanzhong, Guanshan and other places, stipulating that the land rent should not exceed 30%, and the people were very grateful to him." Qin Yu really said.
"Oh? Stipulate by law that the rent shall not exceed 30%? It's ridiculous! This land belongs to the landlord, and the landlord naturally stipulates how much the land rent should be! Some people have benefited, but what about the landlords? Wouldn't their interests be compromised? Lin Lingsu said coldly.
"This ...... That's what the Taoist said! Qin Yuzhen sighed softly and said.
"We are people in the rivers and lakes, and we don't know how to govern the world. But even we know that the rent reduction order is absolutely not feasible, and this Emperor Xuanwu is really ridiculous. At this time, Xue Mingyu said violently.
Zhou Qingshan, Hong Tianjing, Chengming and others next to him were all nodding their heads.
"Destiny is destined, this world belongs to Emperor Jianyan, and we should help Emperor Jianyan win the world. But now, Emperor Xuanwu has the advantage for the time being, and we have to take out that treasure. In that treasure, there was not only a huge amount of gold, silver, and weapons, but also the way of using troops and governing the country that Emperor Qin used to dominate the world. If he can get these things, Emperor Jianyan will naturally be able to defeat Emperor Xuanwu, dominate the world, and restore peace to the world. Lin Lingsu said.
"That's what the Taoist said!" Qin Yuzhen nodded.
"That treasure map is in the hands of Senior Nephew Qin now?" Lin Lingsu said.
Qin Yuzhen nodded, and immediately took out a treasure map and put it in front of everyone.
