After Mingxing's words were spoken, the eyes of several people present fell on Huo Yuanzhen.

In this matter, Nameless has never raised any objections, not only because he and Kongfan are old acquaintances, but also in Nameless's view, Huo Yuanzhen is indeed Ming Xuan's apprentice, and he is in the Southern Shaolin lineage, and it is normal to recognize his ancestors and return to his master.

But how did he know that Huo Yuanzhen hadn't even seen his master at all, let alone had any sense of belonging to this Southern Shaolin.

I saw Huo Yuanzhen groaning for a while, and said to Mingxing: "Uncle Shi, don't worry, take a sip of tea." ”

Hearing Huo Yuanzhen's words, Mingxing's face suddenly sank, because Huo Yuanzhen did not readily agree, but shirked it, although he did not refuse, but the meaning had already been expressed.

But he still endured it, and also picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then said: "Yijie master and nephew, I won't tell you, I came here once, when your master had just gained a foothold here, at that time, he was still alone, he didn't take it out, and you weren't even born." ”

With a nostalgic look in his eyes, he said clearly: "Time flies really fast, thirty years have passed in a blink of an eye, I didn't expect that things are wrong, Senior Brother Mingxuan has actually gone to Elysium." ”

Huo Yuanzhen didn't make a sound, is this Mingxing going to play the emotional card with himself?

"Alas, what a pity, nephew, didn't your master never talk to you about Southern Shaolin?"

"Uncle, my nephew still learned from some relics of the master about our origin from Southern Shaolin, and the master did not mention the matter of the master to the monk and others before his death. ”

"It doesn't matter if you haven't said it, now you know, and you have also seen it, your master is out of the customs, and the Southern Shaolin is famous in the rivers and lakes, and now is the best time to break out of the name and magnify my Buddhism, since the Northern Shaolin is from the Southern Shaolin lineage. Then it is natural to return to the teacher. ”

Huo Yuanzhen asked, "I don't know how to return to the law?"

Hearing that Huo Yuanzhen finally asked the right question, Mingxing had already prepared and said: "This matter has been studied a long time ago, because although we belong to the same family in Shaolin in the north and south, there are thousands of mountains and rivers in the region, and the transportation is inconvenient. So your ancestor made a plan, that is, North Shaolin will first become a branch of South Shaolin, and announce it to the rivers and lakes. The disciples of your Northern Shaolin Hui generation all went to Southern Shaolin to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. ”

Huo Yuanzhen smiled silently. Sure enough, it was similar to what I thought, and I wanted to turn North Shaolin into a branch.

Mingxing continued: "After it became a branch, because now there are many monks in the two temples. And your Northern Shaolin is also built here, your ancestor decided to slowly move the people of Southern Shaolin here in the future. ”

"How many disciples does Nan Shaolin have?"

"Southern Shaolin is actually not as many as you Northern Shaolin. Now it's just over a hundred. ”

Huo Yuanzhen listened and said: "If there are a hundred people, it is not much, our North Shaolin Mo said that there are another hundred people, and another thousand people can be put down." ”

Hearing Huo Yuanzhen say this, Mingxing thought that the matter was almost over, and laughed: "Senior nephew, it is right for you to return to the master, although you are just a junior of the same generation, but after all, you have also been an abbot." As long as you come back, the monastery in Southern Shaolin will still be presided over by you, and you can bring a hundred disciples of the Juezi generation from Northern Shaolin over, where is you, you are still the abbot, what do you think?"

Mingshi said such a thing, thinking that the conditions given were already very generous. I take care of Huo Yuanzhen's emotions very much.

But Huo Yuanzhen sneered in his heart.

No matter from which point of view, Northern Shaolin is the best base of a sect.

Zhongyue Songshan is located in the Central Plains and has a superior geographical location. Yuzhai Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not easy to threaten outsiders. ...,

Moreover, the infrastructure of Shaolin Temple is not comparable to ordinary sects. At the beginning, I put a lot of effort and effort here.

There is also the miracle of the temple that is also decided. It's better to stay anywhere than to stay here.

Kongfan and Mingxing thought that they were just a small generation, relying on them as elders, they took this matter for granted, and also gave themselves the temple in Southern Shaolin, and brought over a hundred Juezi generations.

This is clearly the method of sending out exile, preventing other disciples from supporting themselves too much and creating contradictions between the two sides.

After thinking for a while, Huo Yuanzhen said: "Master, uncle, the disciple thinks that this matter can not only be decided by you and me, but also the disciple should discuss it with our Shaolin disciples and listen to their opinions." ”

When Mingxing heard this, his face turned angry, and he glanced back at Kongfan, only to see Kongfan there with his eyes closed and silent, throwing all his questions to Mingxue.

Mingxing said to Huo Yuanzhen: "What is there to discuss, Buddhist disciples, strictly abide by the rules and precepts, and what the abbot decides, they just do it." ”

"Uncle Shi's words are wrong, my Shaolin disciples are all a part of Shaolin, Shaolin development to this day is inseparable from their efforts, poor monks must not be independent. ”

Mingxuan became more and more unhappy, he was the head of the Discipline Academy in Nanshaolin, this person in charge of punishment usually has a hot temper, Mingxuan is no exception, and snorted coldly: "Don't discuss, who dares to disagree, abolish martial arts, and expel the teacher!"

Huo Yuanzhen shook his head and said: "It's not proper, many of my Shaolin disciples' martial arts are not taught by the poor monks themselves, so the poor monks are not qualified to abolish them." ”

"Oh, didn't you teach me?"

"Yes, not only did I not teach them much martial arts, but I also didn't hide it, our martial arts together did not originate from Southern Shaolin. ”

Speaking of this, Mingxuan paused for a moment.

Only then did he remember that his former senior brother Ming Xuan had not even reached the innate realm, and his martial arts were a mess at all, how could he teach such a strong disciple as Yijie.

"Then you didn't learn your martial arts from your master, who did you learn them from?"

Huo Yuanzhen said with a smile: "I have a lineage in Northern Shaolin, martial arts, architecture, Buddhism, etc., all from the Buddha's gift, no one has the right to take it back, and the poor monk does not dare to abandon it, so this return to the master's door, the poor monk not only has to ask our disciples' opinions, but also to see what the Buddha means." ”

"What! Look at what the Buddha means!"

Mingxing immediately took the case and said to Huo Yuanzhen: "You are obviously deliberately shirking! If the Buddha does not express it for ten years, we will wait for ten years! If we do not express it for ten years, we will wait for one hundred years!"

Seeing that Mingxing was on fire, Huo Yuanzhen was also unhappy, but he didn't show it on his face, but just said: "The poor monk has always been able to communicate with the Buddha, and I believe that the Buddha will not sit idly by and ignore such a major event as returning to the master's door, and there will be a clear indication soon, so the poor monk asked the ancestor and the uncle to take a rest here, don't be anxious, wait slowly." ”

Mingxu was about to speak, but Kong Fan finally spoke: "Amitabha! Mingxing, we have worked hard all the way, so it doesn't hurt to go and rest first." ”

Seeing Kong Fan say this, Mingxing was a little anxious: "Master, but he is clearly here." ”

Kong Fan waved his hand slightly, then stood up, and said to Huo Yuanzhen: "One ring, it's okay to discuss, but it can't be too long, one day is enough time for you to discuss a result, tomorrow at this time, you must give Lao Wei an answer, after all, you are from Southern Shaolin, this point is irrefutable." ”

After finishing speaking, Kong Fan said again: "We also have to take a rest, you can arrange a place to live." ”

Huo Yuanzhen nodded, and took the two of them to the side room to live. ..., After arranging the accommodation and food, Huo Yuanzhen returned to the main hall, and the nameless had not yet left.

Nameless had been silent just now, but now he chose to stay, probably because he had something to say to Huo Yuanzhen.

Huo Yuanzhen came back and sat down, and said straight to the point: "Abbot, why don't you want to return to Southern Shaolin?"

Huo Yuanzhen took a sip of tea, thinking that if I returned to Southern Shaolin, it would be nothing more than two endings, one was to be arranged to go to the south, and the other was to continue to stay here, but there was no need to think about it as an abbot.

No matter which of these two endings is fatal, neither of them can complete the system task, how can Huo Yuanzhen agree.

It's just that these words are not good to say to the nameless, Huo Yuanzhen said: "Does the elder think it is good for us to return?"

Nameless smiled and said: "Lao Wei thinks that at this time, we should not care about the good and bad, but to focus on the overall situation, let the north and south Shaolin merge, and at that time, Shaolin may not be the number one faction in the world." ”

Huo Yuanzhen was a little helpless in his heart, since the first day Nameless brought a message to himself, he knew that Nameless was supportive of this matter.

Nameless is not wrong, but where does he know his troubles.

If Nameless is unswervingly on the side of Southern Shaolin, this matter is really a bit tricky.

Although Huo Yuanzhen believed that Nameless would not completely favor Nan Shaolin, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and said to Nameless: "Elder rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter properly, and after I finish discussing it with my disciples, I will give them an answer." ”

Nameless nodded: "The abbot decides for himself, although the old man thinks that it should be merged, but the abbot is by no means embarrassed." ”

After finishing speaking, Nameless got up and said goodbye and returned to the Scripture Pavilion.

Hearing Nameless and clear support for the merger, Huo Yuanzhen felt irritable, this matter was really tricky, and Kong Fan and the two stood on the side of righteousness.

Huo Yuanzhen knew that even if he discussed with the Shaolin disciples, I am afraid that many disciples would agree to merge, because in this era, people still attach great importance to things such as returning to the master and recognizing their ancestors and returning to their ancestors.

Unless it was his own unequivocal refusal, at that time, Huo Yuanzhen believed that many disciples would still stand on his side, but he didn't want to see that scene happen.

Nameless refused to speak on this matter, which made Huo Yuan really feel embarrassed, at this time, it would be good if there was a strong enough external helper.

Standing by the window of the abbot's courtyard, Huo Yuanzhen stood for an hour, thinking about countermeasures.

With some plans in mind, Huo Yuan really planned to call Yideng and the others, and suddenly Hui Yuan walked in, and after seeing Huo Yuanzhen, he said: "Master, someone has news from the mountain, saying that the investigation team of the Wulin League is about to arrive in Lvye Town, please prepare, it seems that the leader of the Eastern Alliance has come over in person." ”
