didn't think that he was still wishful thinking, the abbot of Fangzheng actually arrived overnight, accompanied by the head of the Wudang faction, Chongxu Daochang, and the head of the Songshan faction, Zuo Lengchan. Three decent bigwigs arrived at the front finger at the same time, this movement is inevitably too big, right? Although there is a demon sect saint in Jinshan Temple, it is not at my disposal, as for such a big movement?
Master Fang Ben couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, thinking that if his hands and feet on the pension and decoction and medicine expenses were revealed, it would be impossible to bring outsiders here. The audit in the temple is not yet a few days old, and there is no possibility of a problem, what is the old abbot going to do?
Zuo Lengchan and Fang Zheng have never been right, but it is really incomprehensible that the two of them can come on the same road, and each other's personal troops are intact. I saw that Fang Zheng's entourage was the eighteen Arhats of Shaolin Temple; and Zuo Lengchan's side guards are the nine Taibao of Songshan, plus twenty-eight generals; Behind the Chongxu Daoist there are two masters of Wudang Zixiao Palace, clear void and become high. Behind these three decent bigwigs, there are more than 100 big men wearing Hongyi's full-body iron armor, all of them are tall and healthy, but they don't look like the Miao descendants of our Heavenly Dynasty, and they are Hongyi ghosts at a glance.
Although Shaolin Buddhism is vast, it has always been respectful of ghosts, is it the reinforcements of the Songshan faction? It is said that Zuo Lengchan believed in foreign religion, and what else did he take Nikolai? Zuo's religious name, most of these ghosts are Zuo's fellow believers. Looking at this posture, is it going to be a decisive battle with the Demon Sect Chief?
Looking at the height and breadth of these lives, they are powerful people at a glance. Fang Ben didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly transferred the elite disciples of the eighteen halls to come, if there was a fight later, it would be better to win with more. Master Fangzheng's face sank like water, and he asked about the battle situation when he entered the door.
Fang Ben said: "Back to the abbot, the senior brother has personally led the army in the past few days, and has attacked the Jinshan Temple several times. However, there is no support, so I can only fight alone. There are many thieves, but they are stubbornly resistant, and the younger brothers are outnumbered. It's hard to win. Although he had the heart to sacrifice his life and die, he was afraid that his disciples would lose too much and hurt the compassion of his family, so he had no choice but to withdraw with his troops. Senior Brother Abbot, it's good that you're here, and when the disciples see you, they seem to have inexhaustible strength all over their bodies, and they can't feel any pain even if they are injured. I don't eat, drink, and I don't feel hungry. You are resting here, and the junior brother will take a group of cronies and disciples to attack the temple overnight, and by tomorrow morning, I don't believe that I can't hold Ren Yingying. ”
Zuo Lengchan watched coldly, and said with a smile at this time: "Master Fangzheng is really good. The disciples are loyal and sacrificing their hearts to protect the Dharma, and Zuo sees them all. Goodbye to the weapons in the hands of the monks in your temple, it seems that many of them are still weapons, and some of the senior monks have armor on their bodies. With this strong armor and sharp soldiers, the whole of Henan, who are you still afraid of? Congratulations to the Master. Congratulations to Master Hee. ”
There is no comparison between the head of Wudang, the head of Chongxu Dao, and the head of Wudang who is Wang Shouzhen. He didn't even have a real person title on his head, so he had to follow Fang Zheng's help and eat together. Naturally, he wanted to maintain the dignity of his backer, and sneered at each other: "Zuo Alliance Master, your words are bad." If you want to talk about prestige, now the entire Ming Dynasty. It is also the most famous of your Songshan faction. The Zhensong army colluded with the Demon Sect and corrupted the place, and now the border troops have been recruited. The relationship between the Zuo family and Zhen Songjun is also very interesting. ”
"The Taoist chief said this is not true. The Zhen Song thief is the Zhen Song thief, and the Zuo family is the Zuo family, how can the two be confused? Since the rebellion of the Song thieves, my Zuo family clan has succeeded one after another. Bloody thieves. There were no less than a few hundred victims, and sixty-seven were thieves. The thief chief Chai Yunsheng is also among them. These are documents approved by the imperial court, and the Taoist chief must not ignore them. Now my left family has formed the Songshan Rebel Army. Organized and trained three battalions of righteousness, courage and benevolence. All of them are for the court to serve the death, and in the future, they will recount their merits and have their own court rewards. At that time, I am afraid that I will have to send food to Kaifeng and Luoyang two mansions, and the money and grain should be paid, and I still need a lot of help from Master Fangzheng. ”
Fang Ben saw that the abbot ignored him, and Zuo Lengchan fought with Chongxu again, so he asked again, "Senior brother abbot, is the junior brother going to move the people and horses and attack overnight?" The senior brother is far away, and the saddle horse is tired, but do you want the younger brother to prepare a meal for you? ”
Fang Zheng's face sank, "Senior brother, you have been a monk for many years, but you have never been able to find out a single word, which really disappoints your brother." Although the demon girl of the Demon Sect is vicious, she is also a human being, and those Demon Sect members are even more Ming people, but they have been bewitched by the Demon Sect and the demons and have gone astray. If you can save some, you have to save some, how can you just talk about fighting and killing? Have you forgotten what the poor monks taught you on a daily basis? The monks are compassionate and learn martial arts, but they are used to strengthen the body and protect the family and the country, not to cause murder. When is the time for retribution? Junior brother, you need to intensify your study of the Buddhist scriptures to dispel the anger in your chest, otherwise you will be in a big hindrance. ”
Fang Ben greeted Fangzheng's ancestors one by one for several generations in his heart, but on the surface, he still had to be respectful and fold his hands, "Thank you for the teachings of the abbot, the younger brother suddenly opened his mouth, it was really like a stick in the head, and his cultivation in the future will definitely be a thousand miles a day." ”
He didn't know what medicine his senior brother had taken wrong, and why he changed his caliber all of a sudden. The treasury in Jinshan Temple is not an ordinary object. There was a large amount of grain, grass, ordnance, and a few franc machines that had been obtained with great effort. With these things, even if you encounter the army of demon demons, it is enough to fight. It's just that Shaolin Temple hasn't found anyone who can use firearms for a while, and the government has been very strict in the ordnance since the uprising of the Song Army, and this firearm is even more dead, so it has to be stored in the Jinshan Temple first. This time it all fell into the hands of the Demon Sect, but fortunately, the Demon Sect would not use it, otherwise I don't know how many casualties there would be these days.
These are not mentioned for the time being, but the treasures in it, many of them do not belong to the Shaolin Temple, but to Master Fangzheng. Can you say no, no? Didn't the abbot say before that he made up his mind to overcome all difficulties, he must take Jinshan Temple, capture Ren Yingying alive, and let her go to Shaolin Temple to listen to the scriptures for three years to resolve the anger in his chest? Why has the tone changed all today?
But since Yuan Zhi and Tongxian colluded with the Demon Sect and were sentenced to death. The current Shaolin Temple is still in a sensitive period, and any words and deeds that disobey the abbot may be named as a dangerous element sympathetic to the Demon Sect, and be monitored by the monks within the Shaolin Temple, and even be arrested and punished in the Discipline Institute without any criminal evidence. Therefore, in this environment, how dare Fang Ben talk nonsense, just nod.
He didn't wait for him to understand, only to hear another neighing of war horses outside, followed by the sound of the friction of the nail leaves, and more than a dozen men broke into the big tent. There was a person in the middle, who was tall and burly, with bright armor, and when he entered the door, he grinned and laughed: "Old monk Fangzheng, what you said is quite interesting." My old Du heard it outside. Isn't martial arts training for the sake of killing? So what else did you practice? Isn't practicing kung fu just for killing? Aren't you right? ”
Fang Zheng was very respectful to this rude martial artist, and hurriedly got up to greet him, "General Du, you have also arrived." That's fine, and you can rest assured that you are a poor monk. ”
"That's, don't worry, my old Du didn't come by himself. I have brought all of the 5,000 border soldiers. Among them, there are 2,000 horses alone, as well as an artillery team. This great monk, what Jinshan Temple is he going to attack? Do you want to leave it to me? Hundreds of Franc racks go up, a bombardment, and there is nothing left, what do you think? ”
Fang Zheng's expression was as usual, but he clasped his hands together and couldn't help but read his sin. He knew in his heart that this General Juniper Du was careless and careful, and he said it very well. 5,000 border troops, 100 Franc machines, none of them can be trusted. He didn't believe that the imperial court would send so many border troops to Henan, and it was even more impossible for Zheng Guobao to send such a large force to Huaiqing Mansion. According to the information he had, the total number of border troops stationed in Huaiqing was only 2,000, and the maximum number of people who could follow Juniper here would not exceed 1,000.
But even a thousand border troops are not something that Shaolin can deal with. Although Shaolin claims to have 100,000 monks and laymen, 10,000 monks and soldiers. But this is the same as the 5,000 border army, it is a fake number used to deceive people, and there is a lot of water in it.
Attack Jinshan Temple, protect Shaolin Buddha property, the opponent is the demon sect that is angry with people and gods. In the name of this righteousness, he can mobilize more than 4,000 monks and laymen to surround Jinshan Temple, but it is still the thousand defeated soldiers who are really working hard. If they are allowed to fight against the imperial court officials, I am afraid that these monks and lay forces will run half of them first, and then if they fight against the border army, whether the remaining people can have five hundred or two.
