Chapter 30: Shaolin Disaster
It is said that the master and apprentice left Zhuxian Town and saw that the north had been occupied by the Jin State, and their hearts were very heavy.
"Master, if these officials return to the Jin Kingdom to report the situation, and the wolf lord of the Jin Kingdom sends troops to attack Bianjing, wouldn't it be dangerous for our Great Song Dynasty? It's better for us to kill those three officials to avoid future troubles. Wang Zipeng said.
"Amitabha, child, the monks don't kill innocents indiscriminately, although those golden people should be killed, but they have no grievances with us, how can they do it? What's more, our master and apprentice may not be able to win in a fight. This is the territory of the Golden Country, how do we start? Even if it succeeds, escape is a problem. Child, you are still young, and there are some things that you still don't understand. If the Great Song Dynasty dies here, it will also be providential. Your top priority now is to learn your skills well and contribute to the country in the future. The Supreme Master said.
Wang Zipeng listened to his master's words and dispelled the idea of intercepting and killing Jin Guoguan.
"Zipeng, let's hurry up! Shaolin Temple is almost here, don't get into any trouble on the way. The supreme master said, and took Zipeng straight to Shaolin Temple.
Came to Dengfeng Shaomu Mountain in Henan, only to see that there were golden soldiers on the mountain, and the master and apprentice had to bypass the golden soldiers and enter the Shaolin Mountain Gate.
Outside the mountain gate, there was no human figure, a bleak scene.
"Master, I heard that Shaolin Temple is the largest temple in the world, why is it so desolate, we came up to the mountain, along the way, I didn't see a Shaolin disciple haunting, but I saw a lot of golden soldiers, did they wash Shaolin Temple in blood? Could it be that all the Shaolin disciples have encountered accidents? Wang Zipeng asked puzzled.
The old man also felt strange. Zipeng, let's observe before going in. The Supreme Master said.
Zipeng nodded in agreement.
The master and apprentice found a hidden place to hide, quietly listening to the movements in the temple.
Suddenly, thick smoke billowed in the Shaolin Temple, and the sound of shouting and fighting was endless.
"Master, Shaolin Temple is in trouble, what should we do?" Zipeng asked.
"Child, you stay here for now, and wait for the teacher to go in and find out." The Supreme Master said, and walked out.
"Master, wait for me, I'll go in and have a look." Wang Zipeng said and followed.
Master Zhishan had no choice but to take Zipeng into the Shaolin Temple.
When I came to the middle gate of Shaolin Temple, I saw a little novice walking out in a panic.
The Supreme Master stopped the little novice and asked with concern, "Amitabha, donor, where are you going?" ”
When the little novice saw an old monk with a white beard and a young man come to the Shaolin Temple, he was shocked: "You are-?" ”
"Amitabha, don't be afraid, Lao Gao has a junior brother who is a monk in Shaolin Temple, and Lao Gao specially came to visit him." The best master and disciple.
"Holy monk, looking at your age, you must be a master, let me tell you the truth! Now the Shaolin Temple is in trouble, the four masters of the Jin Kingdom with many officers and soldiers are killing and setting fire to the Daxiong Treasure Hall unscrupulously, and many disciples have been killed, the four masters are the long-known four King Kongs, they are very good at kung fu, we are not their opponents at all. I think you'd better get out of here and go as far as you can before they find out. Xiao Shami said with concern.
"Then where is your abbot, Master Zhicheng? And where are your warrior monks? Are they so vulnerable? The Supreme Master asked suspiciously.
"Master, do you also recognize our abbot? Could it be that you are the most virtuous monk and master that our abbot often mentions? The little novice asked.
"Amitabha, good! The poor monk is the supreme goodness who travels in Kyushu and wanders uninhibitedly. "The supreme master clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name.
"Master, it's great that you're here, Shaolin is saved." Xiao Shami said happily.
"Donor, the old man doesn't understand, why did I come, and the Shaolin Temple was saved? The old man has no skills, he can only cure diseases and save people. The Supreme Master said.
"Master, I can't hide it, before the Jin soldiers attacked Shaolin, they poisoned the well of Shaolin Temple, and hundreds of monks in our Shaolin Temple were poisoned. Master Abbot guessed that it was the golden dog who did it, and prepared to deal with it in advance, he and several elders agreed to send the Shaolin stick monk and the eighteen arhats to the Dharma Cave for treatment overnight. In order to paralyze the Jin soldiers, he and several elders stayed in the monastery to preside over the overall situation. Early this morning, the Jin soldiers attacked, the abbot told us all to hide, after the Jin soldiers came in, they came to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and said insulting words, praising and redeeming the gods. The abbot reasoned with them, and they tied him up and tied him up in the courtyard and tortured him, and said that they would burn him alive at three o'clock in the afternoon. We are all Shaolin disciples, shouldering the responsibility of protecting Shaolin, we are not willing to give in, so we came out of the shadows and the Jin soldiers desperately, because we were poisoned in advance, the whole body was paralyzed, and lost the ability to fight, so the Jin soldiers easily defeated us, they set fire to the house, indiscriminately killed innocents. Little Shami said.
When Master Zhishan heard this, he was very anxious: "Master Zhicheng will be burned to death at three o'clock in the afternoon, and he must be rushed before three o'clock in the afternoon, so that the Shaolin stick monk and the eighteen Arhats can recover their combat effectiveness and rush to deal with the four great King Kongs, otherwise, the Shaolin Temple will really be destroyed." Lao Wei can't let these centuries-old ancient temples be destroyed, and he must do his best to detoxify them. Thinking of this, the Supreme Master couldn't wait to say, "Donor, time is running out, hurry up and take me to the Dharma Cave." ”
Xiao Shami didn't say a word, and took the master and apprentice straight to the Dharma Cave.
"Donor, why aren't you poisoned?" The Supreme Master asked.
"It's not a secret, last night I went down the mountain with a few brothers, and I rushed back when it was almost dawn, and when I came back, everyone in Shaolin Temple was poisoned, and I heard that it was because I drank the water in the well that was poisoned, so we didn't dare to drink it again." Xiao Shami said embarrassedly.
"Everyone is in trouble, why are you hiding alone? Do you want to sneak out of the mountain gate? Wang Zipeng asked puzzled.
"That's true. I think I can't do anything alone, so it's better to save my surname first, and then revive Shaolin. As the saying goes: stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood. That's what I thought. Little Shami blushed and said.
"Zipeng, don't blame Xiao Shami, he is also helpless." The Supreme Master said
“……”
While speaking, I unconsciously came to the Dharma Cave.
Master Zhishan came to the cave, first checked the patient's condition, asked how he felt after poisoning and the various symptoms that appeared, and then selected some suitable medicines for the prepared pills and handed them to Zipeng, and ordered him to take one pill each.
Wang Zipeng distributed the medicine to these Shaolin monks according to the master's instructions, and gave them one by one.
The medicine of the Supreme Master is truly miraculous, and it will work immediately after a quarter of an hour.
"Everyone, your abbot master will be burned alive by the Jin soldiers at three o'clock in the afternoon, and now it's time, time is running out, everyone support up and go with me to the abbot. You can rest assured, after you get there, your strength has basically recovered, and it shouldn't be a problem to deal with the Four Great Vajras. Although the kung fu of the four King Kongs is good, the four of them can't deal with Zhou Tong alone, in my opinion, it's nothing remarkable. The Supreme Master said.
When everyone heard this, their confidence doubled, and they all stood up and followed the master to the Shaolin Temple Daxiong Treasure Hall.
When I came to the courtyard outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall, I saw that the four great King Kongs with dozens of golden soldiers tied up the abbot, elders, and disciples of the Shaolin Temple, and put them in one place, surrounded by firewood.
The four King Kongs looked carried away.
"You guys get ready here first, rest for a while, I'll go and meet them first, and when I put my hands together and chant the Buddha's name, you will kill you by surprise, and Zipeng and I will go to save the abbot, the elders and the disciples." The Supreme Master said.
Everyone nodded frequently.
The supreme master came to the Four Great King Kong with a Zen staff in his hand, and the Four King Kong saw an old monk in good spirits in front of him, and he was shocked.
