Chapter 58: The Test
"Chop! I'm going to kill you and avenge the villagers. As soon as the secret passage was opened, a childish roar came out of it, and a cold light rushed out of it.
Liu Peng didn't hide, stood still in place, his palm poked out, easily buckled the hunting knife that stabbed him, and the strength on his arm exploded, and he snatched the hunting knife and was still on the ground.
"I am compassionate." Liu Peng said sadly: "Little donor, do you still remember the poor monk?" ”
"Stinky monk, you killed our whole village, today I want to avenge them!" As he spoke, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy crawled out of the secret passage, with a fierce look on his face, and smashed his fist towards Liu Peng's head.
"I am compassionate." Liu Peng stretched his palm forward and subdued him. Looking at the secret passage below, he said, "The little benefactor below please come out, the poor monk will not hurt you." ”
"Stinky monk, don't let you hurt my brother!" A weak figure crawled out of the secret passage in a fit of rage.
"I am compassionate." Liu Peng looked at them lovingly and said, "The two little donors, do you still have an impression of the poor monk?" A few days ago, the poor monk came to your village, and when your village was plagued by flower picking/thieves, it was the poor monk who cast a spell to stop the flower picking/thieves, and then rescued the eight sisters who were missing in your village. ”
"You're Master Xuantian?" The little girl looked at Liu Peng timidly.
"It's the poor monk." Liu Peng said.
"Woo woo......" As soon as she heard that Liu Peng was the senior monk a few days ago, the helplessness in the little girl's heart completely exploded at this moment, and her tears flowed as follows.
Yuanhong walked over with a kind face, hugged the little girl in her arms, and said softly: "Good, don't be afraid, my sister will be your relative in the future, if anyone dares to bully you, my sister will definitely not let him go." ”
"I am compassionate." Liu Peng was relieved that Yuanhong could appease this little girl very well, and he was happy to see it. Untied the acupuncture points on the little boy's body, and said, "Little donor, can you tell the poor monk that there are other people in your village besides you?" Saying this, Liu Peng sighed in his heart, he just had the expectation of giving it a try to see if there was anyone else besides them.
"Plop!" As soon as the little boy's acupoint was untied, he knelt on the ground, looked at Liu Peng stubbornly, and said, "Master, I want to worship under your door and ask the master to accept me as an apprentice." ”
"I am compassionate." Liu Peng said: "Tell the poor monk, why do you want to worship the poor monk?" ”
The little boy said with firm eyes: "I want to learn martial arts, and I want to avenge the people in the village!" I'm going to slaughter those bastards with my own hands! ”
"My Buddha is merciful, little donor, you are too murderous." Liu Peng shook his head and sighed.
"Master, if you don't take me as an apprentice, I will kneel here and never get up." The little boy kowtowed his head and said again. The words were full of affirmation, even if the sky fell, it couldn't change his decision.
"Ask the master to take us as disciples." The little girl also broke free from Yuanhong's embrace, knelt in front of Liu Peng, kowtowing and praying.
"Master, you can take them! They also blame the pitiful. Yuanhong couldn't bear it in her heart and helped to intercede.
"Master, what my sister said is right, for their sake, and such a tragic thing, just accept them!" Yuanfeng looked at Liu Peng calmly.
"I am compassionate." Liu Peng turned around silently, it wasn't that he didn't want to accept them, just now he was just taking the little boy to see if the little boy had the courage and determination to take revenge. Subsequently, the little boy's performance satisfied him, with a firm temperament, a precocious boy, and his own opinions, although the murderous nature was a little heavier. But it doesn't matter who it is, it behaves the same.
What's more, although it is located in the middle of nowhere, this is the rivers and lakes. Where there are rivers and lakes, there will be struggles, and bloodshed is just a common thing.
"Okay, for the sake of our fate, the poor monk will accept you as a beginner. However, it is not the poor monk who accepts you as an apprentice, when you arrive at the temple, the poor monk will help you introduce two masters. ”
"Thank you, Master!" The little boy stood up excitedly, his immature face full of excitement.
"Okay, there's nothing worth remembering here, let's go back to the mountain!" After speaking, Liu Peng was about to walk outside. After this incident, Wulang Village no longer existed, turning into a speck of dust and disappearing into the long river of history.
"Master, wait a minute, I have something to say." The little boy hurriedly stopped Liu Peng.
Liu Peng turned around and looked at him quietly, waiting for his next step.
The little boy said: "Master, you asked me just now, is there anyone else in the village besides our sister and brother, if my guess is correct, Sister Niu should still be alive." ”
"Yes, Sister Niu is still alive, and those people won't hurt her." The little girl echoed with an affirmative expression.
Liu Peng asked, "Who is Sister Niu?" Where is she now? ”
The little boy's face turned gloomy and said, "Sister Niu let us hide in the secret passage in order to save us, but she herself was captured by those bad people. ”
"I am compassionate." Liu Peng said: "God has the virtue of a good life, and your sister Niu must still be alive." Let's go, let's go back to the mountain. ”
"Master, you must save Sister Niu Ya, Sister Niu Ya is a good person." The little girl seemed uneasy and added.
"Huh?" Liu Peng's face froze, and he said, "Niu Ya? The daughter-in-law of the second benefactor's family? ”
"Yes, master." The little boy and the little girl both nodded heavily.
"The poor monk knows, let's go back." After speaking, he led them towards the Golden Light Temple.
A day has passed.
The group finally walked to the foot of Jinguang Temple Mountain, standing next to the steps and looking at the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps above, Liu Peng's heart was full of pride and domineering, and he secretly swore in his heart, sooner or later, I want to let the three words of Jinguang Temple spread to every place in the land of Shenzhou, even if it is the endless sea, I will let it be famous forever.
"Master, this is the Golden Light Temple?" Yuanhong was secretly surprised in her heart, on the way here, although Liu Peng gave them a brief introduction, she knew that there was a long step at the foot of Jinguangsi Mountain that went straight into the sky, so she asked such a question.
"That's right, this will be your teacher from now on." Liu Peng looked at the little boy and said: "If you want to worship the Jinguang Temple, you must climb this step on foot, if you two can't do it, you can't climb the mountain by your own strength, you will be the outer disciples of this temple." ”
"Master, isn't it a bit cruel to do this?" Yuanhong said dissatisfiedly.
"I am compassionate." Liu Peng looked at the sky and said calmly: "This is how this seat came back then, if a person doesn't even have this bit of courage, he still talks about how to become stronger, how to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes, and how to take revenge!" It's not that this seat doesn't give them a chance, it's up to them to grasp it, I hope you don't let this seat down! ”
After speaking, he stepped on his feet, and turned into a Dapeng bird and rushed towards the top of the mountain.
Soon, Liu Peng's figure disappeared, and his ethereal voice sounded in the air: "If you help them climb the mountain, they are not worthy of being disciples of Jinguang Temple." ”
