Chapter 700: Zhihua and Zhijie
Zhijie is the younger brother of the abbot of Zhihua, and the relationship between the two of them is very deep, it is said that more than 30 years ago, Zhihua and Zhijie are both heroes on the rivers and lakes, strong in martial arts, both good and evil, and they are very famous in the rivers and lakes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info didn't know how it happened, but the two actually had a relationship with a gang, and they became lifelong friends with the gang leader. Later, the gang became a wanted gang by the Ming government. Because of their relationship with the gang, the two of them were also wanted by the government at the same time.
Speaking of which, I wanted to have a good martial arts, serve the Ming country, and do something for the people. But who would have thought that he would be wanted by the government and become a prisoner. Both were sullen at the time. But everyone knows that there is only one result after being arrested by the government, that is, he will go to prison, and if he doesn't get it right, he will have his head cut off.
There are still a lot of things to do in this life, how can you die in such a daze? Besides, they thought that although they were connected to the gang, the two of them hadn't done much to hurt nature, right?
Seeing that they couldn't mix in the land of the Ming Dynasty, the two went to the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Henan Province in desperation. He simply became a monk and became a monk.
The days of being monks are actually very good, no one knows their true identity, and the government will naturally not suspect the monk. They live a good life with food and drink. In the monastery, they can even get wine and meat every once in a while, they are typical wine and meat monks. At that time, the abbot of Shaolin Temple was older, and he was obviously not so careful about the management of the temple, and he was naturally negligent in the management of Zhihua and Zhijie. The two of them seemed to be like fish in water, and it was not long before they fell in love with the life in the monastery.
And because they have good martial arts, they are very liked by the monks in the temple, and they often compete with each other. The two of them are also very good at getting into trouble, and they quickly got into a hot fight with the warrior monks. They have become the masters of this Shaolin Temple.
The days passed like this, and in the blink of an eye, it was five years. Five years have passed, and the status of the two in the monastery has become higher and higher day by day. It was a dark and windy night, and Zhihua and Zhijie were drinking and eating meat, when a fire suddenly broke out in the temple. It was a very secret thing for the two to drink and eat meat, but when they saw the bright fire outside the window, they didn't have time to clean up the dishes and chopsticks and the things on the table and ran out.
The two immediately threw themselves into the flames.
The place where the fire caught fire was the Zangjing Pavilion of the Shaolin Temple. Shaolin Temple as a thousand-year-old temple, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion contains countless martial arts cheats, classic books. If it is really burned down, I am afraid that the reputation of Shaolin Temple in the rivers and lakes will plummet. It is also possible that the imperial court will also blame the Shaolin Temple, so that the Shaolin Temple will live up to its reputation in the world.
The monks naturally know the difference between the Pavilion and the important position of the Pavilion. Zhihua and Zhijie were particularly brave in fighting the fire, and the two of them commanded the scene without the slightest panic, and they were actually in order.
The old abbot saw all this in his eyes, and saw that Zhihua and Zhijie were different from others who just threw themselves into the fire and put out fires indiscriminately, without any rules. There is no shortage of reckless warriors in the temple, and what is lacking is people who are careful and good at overall command.
The fire was finally extinguished, and the Scripture Pavilion was saved. The next step is to track down the arsonist. That same night, Zhihua and Zhijie pulled out a small novice who had set fire to him. After severe interrogation, the truth was revealed.
The little novice turned out to be a spy of the White Lotus Sect who infiltrated the Shaolin Temple. The White Lotus Sect and the Shaolin Temple have always been not harmonious, the Shaolin Temple has always been concerned by the imperial court, and the Shaolin Temple is dedicated to the imperial court. However, the White Lotus Sect is specifically against the imperial court and brings disaster to the imperial court.
It took a lot of effort to track down the little novice, and it also took a lot of means. However, Zhihua and Zhijie are endless, and there are always ways. Especially Zhihua, not only is he strong in martial arts, but he is also very scheming and meticulous.
From this time, the old abbot of Shaolin Temple finally realized the power of Zhihua and Zhijie. The two of them looked at each other differently, and the status of the two of them was high in the old abbot's heart. However, it was also on the same night that Zhihua and Zhijie secretly drank and ate meat, and the violation of the temple rules was also discovered.
In Shaolin Temple, no matter how much merit there is, the merit cannot be offset. And drinking wine and eating meat is a taboo for monks. The monastery's rules and precepts are clear, but anyone who violates them is punished with three years of imprisonment.
The so-called confinement of the Shaolin Temple is not to lock people up, but to put them in chains and shackles, and to do the heaviest labor in the temple every day. Of course, you can also choose not to follow the rules of the temple and can choose to be expelled from the Shaolin Temple.
Zhihua and Zhijie were originally wanted by the imperial court, where did they dare to go down the mountain? Moreover, after several years, these two have long fallen in love with the beautiful place of Shaolin Temple.
So almost without hesitation, the two chose to be confined for three years.
OMG! Wearing chains and shackles, he has to do the heaviest labor every day, and live a life that is not as good as that of cattle and horses. Where can ordinary people endure it?
Ke Zhihua and Zhijie were stunned to persist with their strong perseverance.
I didn't drink alcohol for three years, and I didn't eat meat for three years.
Three years later, the two seem to have been reborn. Yes, their minds have been well tempered, and their bodies have become stronger. The rules and precepts of the monastery have also become more fearful.
Obviously, after these three years, they have become very qualified monks in Shaolin Temple, and they are outstanding. It was in this year that the old abbot passed away. Before the old abbot passed away, he made detailed arrangements for the aftermath. His will was something that no one expected, and it turned out to be to make Zhihua the abbot of Shaolin Temple.
Boom! Isn't it that the old abbot is faint from old age?
However, the abbot's will could not be disobeyed. In this way, Zhihua became the boss of Shaolin Temple, the abbot. He Zhihua was only thirty-six years old that year.
More than 20 years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Zhihua has been the abbot of Shaolin Temple for more than 20 years. In the past 20 years, Shaolin Temple has really undergone great changes. The world's martial arts out of Shaolin, Zhihua will carry forward the martial arts of Shaolin Temple, and the power of Shaolin Temple is much greater than before. Now there are more than 3,000 warrior monks in Shaolin Temple, including 1,300 simple sticks. These 1,300 stick monks were completely directly led by Zhijie, and under Zhijie's training, their combat power was unmatched.
Although Zhijie did not become the abbot of Shaolin Temple, his status in the temple is also very high. He has become the second person in Shaolin Temple except for the abbot Zhihua. In particular, his stick skills are second to none in Shaolin Temple, and his 1,300 stick monks are the symbol of Shaolin Temple and the banner of Shaolin Temple.
The enemy Qin Li wants to fight today is this Zhijie.
