97 Cat and Mouse War
The following days have been peaceful.
Jiang Yi rented a courtyard in Xiangguo Town to house five rats, and hired two servants to take care of the lives of several people.
He taught the Five Rats to cultivate during the day, and at night he practiced the Great Day Rulai Heart Sutra with Yan Confession, and his strength slowly improved.
At the same time, the Xiangguo Temple is about to hold a ceremony to preside over the re-election, and the repentant friend Governor Hang specially came to watch the ceremony, and the Tibetan Lama Dharma Zhi Master also came to the Xiangguo Temple to exchange Buddhism and debate Buddhism with the monks in the temple.
In order to compete for the position of presiding, several monks of the precept generation secretly used their own means to form gangs.
For a time, the dark tide in Xiangguo Temple was surging.
That afternoon, after the five rats finished cultivating, they didn't go to rest, but came to Jiang Yi and said, "Brother Jiang, we want to go to Xiangguo Temple to meet Master Yanci. ”
"Yes, he has always been very kind to us, and we want to visit his old man."
"But we don't have a good relationship with the monks in the temple, so we can only take you into the temple, otherwise we will be kicked out."
Although Jiang Yi taught several people martial arts, he did not accept them as apprentices, so the five rats still referred to him as brothers.
For this small request, Jiang Yi naturally would not refuse, and nodded: "No problem." ”
After dinner, Jiang Yi took the five rats to see Yan Confession.
Entering Xiangguo Temple, when they were about to reach the meditation room, several people met Zhanzhao who came over.
Because the five rats have changed their new clothes, their faces are clean, their hair is neatly combed, and they are no longer as sloppy as before.
Zhan Zhao hadn't recognized a few people for a while, he only felt a little familiar, and after a closer look, he realized that it was them, and he immediately frowned: "You five guys, why are you coming to Xiangguo Temple again?" ”
For the misbehaving gangsters like the five rats, Zhanzhao is quite disgusted.
When Bai Yutang was stealing food to eat in Xiangguo Temple before, he was beaten by Zhanzhao a few times, and he was also unpleasant to look at, so he snorted coldly: "Zhanzhao, what do you have to be so spirited." You've just worshipped a good master and cultivated a few years longer than us. Now that we are practicing martial arts with Brother Jiang, we are no longer afraid of you. ”
Zhan Zhao didn't take Bai Yutang's boasting seriously, and smiled: "What a big breath, if you are brave enough, try to compete with me, I want to see how much you have learned from Brother Jiang." ”
After this period of cultivation, Bai Yutang's strength has improved a lot, and he wants to try his skills, of course, he will not have stage fright, so he agreed: "After I meet Master Yan Confession, I will have a good fight with you." I still remember the last time you hit me with three sticks. ”
"I'll wait for you."
Zhan Zhao waved the wooden stick in his hand and replied with fierce fighting spirit.
The five rats glared at Zhan Zhao for a while before going to the meditation room to see Yan Repentance.
Jiang Yi and Zhanzhao were talking outside the door.
Zhan Zhao said with a little dissatisfaction: "Brother Jiang, I don't understand why you want to teach them these little gangsters martial arts, they are not good people. ”
Jiang Yi naturally couldn't say that it was for the sake of trading with Master Yan Confession, with an unfathomable expression on his face, he said earnestly: "Quit sex, you have been practicing in the temple for many years, but you still haven't been able to stop thinking about it. Isn't Buddhism paying attention to purifying sentient beings, the five rats are just children, and they just steal something to eat to satisfy their hunger on weekdays, and they haven't made any big mistakes, but their nature is not bad.
We need to lead them to the right path with a broad mind. ”
After speaking, he announced a Buddha name in a similar way: "Amitabha, good, good!" ”
Zhan Zhao glared at Jiang Yi angrily and warned: "How many times have you said it, don't tell me to quit sex." ”
Then he said seriously: "But what you said also has some truth, I just hope they can really learn it." ”
……
Inside the meditation room.
"Master, we've come to see you."
The five rats stood in a row and looked at Yan Confession with admiring eyes.
Yan Cheng looked at the five children back and forth, and saw that they were dressed up clean and refreshing, and they were almost like two people before, and couldn't help but feel relieved: "Okay, okay, you all sit down." ”
After the five rats sat down, they asked, "How is Master Jiang and how is he to you?" ”
"Brother Jiang is very good to us, let us live in a big house, eat well, and dress well."
"Yes, yes, he also taught us martial arts and told us stories, which was good for us."
Several children scrambled to answer.
Yan repentance bowed slightly.
Bai Yutang also added: "Brother Jiang, he has taught us a lot of truths recently, making us understand how bad petty theft was in the past, and we will not do that kind of thing in the future." ”
Seeing Bai Yutang's sincere expression and a rehabilitated look, Yan regretted stroking his white beard, and said with his chin bowed: "That's good." ”
Looking at the transformation of the five rats, Yan Cheng was also a little impressed by Jiang Yi, but he didn't expect that in such a short period of time, the transformation of the five rats was already so big. It is obviously the result of Jiang Yi's diligent teaching and persuading them to be kind.
Yan Cheng never imagined that the five rats said that they would not do the thing of stealing chickens and touching dogs, not because they were good at learning from goodness, but because they looked down on petty theft.
Several children are all inspired to be thieves such as thieves and thieves, how can they be thieves who are not up to the grade again. If Yan Cheng knew what was going on in the hearts of the five rats, he didn't know how complicated his expression would be.
"Seeing your current appearance, I am also relieved, and in the future, you will follow Master Jiang Shi to practice well." Yan repented and earnestly instructed.
"Rest assured, we will never forget what you have been taught."
Bai Yutang said solemnly.
After chatting for a while, the five rats said goodbye and left the meditation room.
Zhan Zhao outside the door watched them come out and said, "Let's go, go to the open space at the mountain gate, let's have a good fight." ”
"Let's go." Bai Yutang's eyes burned with fighting intent.
After a few people came to the venue, Jiang Yi just instructed: "It's okay to fight, but the point is to the end." ”
Bai Yutang smiled proudly: "Brother Jiang, don't worry, I won't hurt Zhanzhao." ”
Zhan Zhao couldn't get used to his arrogance, and said angrily: "You can let the horse come over, if you can hurt me, even if you have the ability." ”
"Then I'm here."
Bai Yutang kicked his feet as he spoke, and his body rushed out, punching and punching, and the speed was extremely fast.
Zhan Zhao was also slightly startled when he saw his movements, but he didn't expect that after only a while, Bai Yutang's progress was so great. He didn't dare to slack off, and the short wooden stick in his hand brought a gust of wind and hit Bai Yutang's arm.
Although Bai Yutang's strength has improved a lot, there is still a gap between it and Zhanzhao.
Zhanzhao hit it with a stick, and the last one came first, and it was about to smash on Bai Yutang's arm.
At this time, Bai Yutang's body was short, and he suddenly swooped to the side, flashing the stick of Zhanzhao, just like a smart white mouse, with extraordinary agility.
At the same time, he raised his left hand, and a pea-sized stone flicked out.
Syllable!
Suddenly, the pebble was in the middle of Zhanzhao's forehead.
Zhan Zhao groaned in pain, took two steps back, reached out and touched it, and found that a big bag had risen on his forehead.
Bai Yutang's technique of hitting acupoints in the air is still very rough, and it can't accurately hit the acupuncture points of the human body, so the power is limited, and it can only make people hurt for a while.
Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao, who was grinning in pain, and said with a smug smile: "How about it, you know how powerful the young master is." ”
"I was just unprepared to let you succeed in the sneak attack, and then you won't have such good luck."
Zhan Zhao said, his body rushed out like the wind, and the wooden stick in his hand snorted, turning into a yellow shadow and rushing out, straight to Bai Yutang's chest.
Bai Yutang didn't dare to touch it hard, unfolded his body, dodged left and right, and threw out a stone from time to time, hitting Zhanzhao's forehead, calf and other positions.
However, as Zhan Zhao said, after taking precautions, Bai Yutang's just entry into the air acupoint could no longer hurt him after all, at most, it could only interrupt Zhan Zhao's offensive and draw his attention.
After the stone was thrown, Bai Yutang could only be pressed and beaten by Zhanzhao.
This competition ended in Bai Yutang's defeat.
