Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Monks Divide

In the hall of the Daxiong Treasure of Shaolin Temple, the abbot Wusu sat on the futon, meditated quietly and silently chanted Buddhist scriptures. Several monks in robes and the monks in green clothes behind them surrounded the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and they knew that their status was extremely high by looking at the robes on the heads of the people and the ring scars on their heads. And among them, the enlightenment is also there, and he stands in second place.

The man standing in the first place chanted the Buddha's horn and said: "Senior Brother Wusu, escape is not always the way, you sit here and meditate silently without saying a word, is it possible that you can solve the difficulties of Shaolin in this way?" ”

"What does Senior Brother Wudu think?" Wufa is a loyal fan of Wusu, and naturally speaks for Wusu.

"What do I think? The monks don't care about the world, but now they are involved in the political struggle of the Ming Dynasty, and the senior brother Wuchan was seriously injured for this, and the presiding junior brother is difficult to decide. The monks don't speak, but this qiē is a disaster caused by the presiding junior brother, but now he doesn't grasp it and solve it, hmph, I'm just afraid that it will chill the Shaolin disciples and let Shaolin be ruined! Enlightenment said in an accentuated tone, he is one of the four Shaolin King Kongs, and he is on a par with Wu Zen and Wu Ling, who is at the bottom of the list. In addition, there are also a lot of Shaolin Wuzi generations, more than ten people.

Many people's faces changed color, obviously some were dissatisfied with what Enlightenment said, but more showed a hint of approval. Wufa said: "There is a debtor and a debtor, how can these things be blamed on Senior Brother Wuzen." The emperor is mediocre, brutalizes the ministers, and robs the ministers' children as a threat, this is an intolerable thing in heaven and earth, I Shaolin upholds justice and assists loyal ministers, why is this still wrong? Besides, the Shaolin Temple has always liked to participate in politics. The reason why we can have such a status is all because we uphold the justice of heaven and save people from fire and water. As the saying goes. Good birds choose trees to perch, we choose a master to assist, since the emperor is absurd, we assist a master for the benefit of the people of the world. Who has seen the eye of reincarnation in the past, whether it is a great calamity but a great blessing, it is not known. Senior Brother Wudu, you are so smart and you understand these truths even though you are dull in your understanding. Thirteen learned the powerful vajra finger and the eighteen sets of pestle methods of the demon pestle, and the Shaolin seventy-two mastery you have now learned thirty percent, you are such a smart person will not understand what the little monk said, right? Therefore, it is not possible to infer it. Although you just said that your family doesn't speak, your mouth is full of slang? ”

"Hahahaha, who dares to say that you are stupid, you are simply stealing the beams and changing the pillars and saying everything that is advantageous and reasonable. It's even more heart-wrenching. But the enlightened brother. You've been foolish for a while. You are a good bird that chooses a tree to perch on, but the tree must also be willing. I don't know that Lu Bing doesn't want to sit in the world at all, and he doesn't want to tear his face with the current emperor and establish himself as a king, so where are we going to live? Doesn't this make us a little unfounded, the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuchs are in a hurry? Regardless of whether Master Lu has the virtue of a good life, or whether he is ambitious and courageous, but in short, he does not dare to come forward, this is an indisputable fact. Wudu said, and then all the monks praised him. They are not afraid to defect to Lu Bing. Now there is no better way not to defect to Lu Bing in this situation, but the problem is that Lu Bing is not ready to start a war with Zhu Houxi at all. How can the monks take refuge, could it be that from now on, the Shaolin Temple, the important place of the martial arts sect and Buddhism, will be marked as a disgraceful rebellion?

Wufa wanted to say more, but Wudu said, "Don't be in a hurry to say it, and listen to me, now is not the time to blame anyone, nor is it the time to regret what happened before." We just want to know how to do it, and it's not too late to make amends. ”

"Monks should not ask about the world, but now that they are in danger, they can't take care of these things. So what does Senior Brother Wudu think to do? Wu Ling, who had been silent at the end, said suddenly. He is a little older than Wu Su, most of the Wu Zi generation are old monks and ancient monks, the youngest is also in his fifties, which is considered to be the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, but only Wu Ling and Wu Su are only about forty, quite young. But the achievements of the two are not small, they can be called the best among the monks, Wu Xu is the host of Shaolin Temple, and Wu Ling is also included in the four King Kongs, can it be said that he is young and old.

Wudu glanced at Wu Ling, and he didn't dare to despise this junior brother either, so he saluted with one palm: "Lao Qu just wants to listen to the opinions of the presiding junior brother, Lao Qu is not the head of a temple and can't be the master." ”

"Senior brother has no other intentions, senior brother doesn't have to worry too much, what does the little monk mean is that if you are the master, senior brother, how will you act?" Wu Ling asked, and Wu Du was shocked and said, "Since my junior brother asked me to speak, the old man is welcome." I thought that although Lu Bing was a generation of heroes, it was not advisable, so it was better to respond to the imperial court, so I went down the mountain and told the imperial court, saying that we were willing to submit to the imperial court, erect the banner of fighting thieves, and take responsibility in the name of the rivers and lakes Lu Bing and Lu Bing broke up. The old man is willing to go down the mountain to negotiate with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, no matter how bad it is, it is better to escape from the empty door than to get into this troubled water, right? ”

"In this way, it is not equivalent to taking refuge in the emperor, as we all know that the emperor is absurd and unreasonable, how can Shaolin succumb to obscenity. In doing so, I am afraid that I will be criticized and despised by fellow martial artists. An old monk said.

Wudu said: "No, no, no, let's ask us if we are so obstinate, is it right, how do fellow martial artists see us, not to mention that others are our Shaolin lay disciples have also drawn a clear line with us, doesn't this explain the problem?" ”

"It's just that everyone is the same, after all, there are still many weak people in this world. Could it be that my Shaolin is also going to be reduced to the point of helping the tiger and abusing it? The Great Monk of the Dharma Enlightenment said in a rough voice: "In my opinion, who can stop us from rushing out?" ”

Enlightenment said, "No, never, the monks have compassion, in the past we were ordered to break the vows to resist foreign enemies, but now we have no holy decree and we are not saving the people from fire and water, how can we vainly open the vows of killing?" If the court wants to kill us, then kill us. The Buddha has a fable to cut meat to feed the tiger and cut the meat to feed the eagle, and I will save him, and today's things are just like that. If we rush down and kill sentient beings, just to save our own lives, then are we still disciples of Buddhism? There is no self, there is no other, so there is nothing in the world, with my life, continue the time of others, this is the supreme law, great compassion is also. Amitabha"

Wufa yelled and said, "What kind of truth are you, don't detour me, I don't understand." All I know is that feeding the tiger with its body, and the tiger will harm more people after eating human flesh and knowing that it is delicious, which is not compassion but real bad karma, but will kill more people for the tiger. If it were me, I would have killed the tiger, so that more people would not suffer, and I would have washed away the sins of the tiger. ”

"How do you know that you are doing the right thing when we monks can only live beyond our lives, but we cannot judge whether it is just or not? Are tigers necessarily evil? Maybe it has a cub waiting to be fed, but since he has bad karma, then why did the Buddha let him survive in the world, and why did the great sage Mahasattva feed the tiger with his body? Therefore, we can only be samsara, but we cannot participate in changing the proper equilibrium of things. On the contrary, he debated and said that he was good at this, quoting scriptures and scriptures to secretly change concepts.

Wufa scratched his head and scolded in a low voice: "Damn, what are you talking about?" ”

The room was full of eminent monks, and most of them also had special skills, and the whispered scolding of the Dharma was heard in their ears, and their brows were slightly furrowed and they wanted to scold, but the scolding of the Dharma seemed rude and weak, and they inevitably fell behind. A smile appeared on Sensei's face, and there was a sense of provocation and triumph in his smile.

Suddenly, everyone looked outside in unison and said in unison: "There is a master here, alone." ”

Everyone was on alert, only to see a bearded man in his thirties rushing in, holding a long sword and looking very nervous. As soon as the enlightened person looked at it, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Yu Dayou, why did you kid come." ”

Only then did Yu Dayou see the extremely strong and tall Enlightenment standing among the monks, and ran over and shouted, "I'm here to find you." Immediately, Yu Dayou saluted at everyone and said, "Zhifu has seen all the uncles. "According to the generations of the rivers and lakes, Yu Dayou is from the Qingyuan Cave Void Generation, and his master should be called Brother and Brother of Shaolin Wuzi Generation, so Yu Dayou calls them Uncle Shi, after all, his master is the head of a generation, and it is no problem to call himself Senior Brother, and the Shaolin monks have no opinion on being called Uncle Shi. Yu Dayou is ranked as a senior brother among the disciples of Qingyuan Cave, and he is also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, and in recent years, he has been a member of the imperial court and an emerging general, and he has cooperated closely with Shaolin Temple in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, so the monks present have heard of Yu Dayou even if they don't know him.

"Yu Dayou, did you kid bring troops to fight Shaolin?" Wufa asked, he and Yu Dayou have the best relationship, the two don't know each other, when they work together, there are many contradictions, and after the battle, they have tried more than once, but they have become good friends. Wufa does not respect the precepts, and on weekdays, he is not only commensurate with Yu Dayou as a brother in private, but also eats meat, drinks, gambles, fights, and does everything, except for the color precepts, it is estimated that the Wufa has broken the Shaolin precepts.

Yu Dayou shook his head and said, "If only I came to fight, then it's not easy to say anything." Why are you still staying in the temple, this time it is the eunuch of Dongchang who is in command, it seems that he is the person of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, in short, it is from the Chen Hong faction. ”

"I'm afraid that he will do something, Lao Tzu will go down to kill me, and see who can stop me." Wufa said in a rough voice.

"Confused, who will do it with you, they have already transferred cannons, ready to bombard Shaomu Mountain." Yu Dayou said.

Wufa's body was shocked, and he obviously knew the power of artillery after experiencing the resistance of monks and soldiers. Nowadays, the artillery of the imperial court has been very advanced after years of war and Lu Bing's improvement, and there are many good hands who can accurately control the artillery. If it is a short-range camera, the Shaolin warrior monk is naturally not a problem with one enemy and ten, the huge iron ball that can fall from the sky and several shells that can explode to stab and injure are obviously not human beings can stop it, even a good hand like Lu Bingduan Qingfeng may be bombarded and destroyed by the body.

If Shaolin stays in the mountains any longer, it may be wiped out, and even if it escapes the bombing, it will lose most of the strength to rush out. As the saying goes, time is running out, and there is a danger of being one minute late, so don't think about dying together when you are powerless to fight, in fact, you have already lost your qualifications.
