Chapter 213: It's time for the March draw
The Golden-Eyed Eagle streaked across the sky like a meteor and descended from the clouds.
Looking at Shaomu Mountain, which was already full of new greenery below, Huo Yuanzhen was also in a cheerful mood.
This is a sect built by oneself, this will be the holy land of martial arts in the future, and the word Shaolin will spread sooner or later.
The golden-eyed eagle flapped its wings and slowly landed in front of the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda.
After landing, a nameless voice came from his head: "I'm back." β
Huo Yuanzhen opened his mouth, but he couldn't answer if he wanted to, so he had to give up, anyway, he was nameless and said hello to himself.
Let the golden-eyed eagle go to the back mountain to rest on his own, Huo Yuanzhen did not immediately return to the abbot's courtyard, but took a walk in the temple.
The breath of spring has quietly entered Shaolin, the trees in the temple are budding, and the flowers are fragrant.
After walking in the courtyard for a while, I saw Hui and the other eighteen people running back.
Since the eighteen of them joined Shaolin, they have been taught by Huo Yuanzhen, and they have become Buddhas, taking Shaolin Temple as their home, and recently they have been diligent in cultivating the Eighteen Arhat Formation.
After seeing Huo Yuanzhen, the eighteen people shouted almost in unison: "Abbot, you're back!"
Huo Yuanzhen smiled and watched as eighteen people gathered around: "How is your Arhat Formation practice?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Hui, who was the representative of the eighteen speakers.
Hui said with some embarrassment: "Abbot, disciple and others are ashamed of your teaching, the eighteen Arhats are immature in training, lack of actual combat experience, and they have not been able to give the strongest blow to the incoming enemy, and they could have captured the battle, but they also let the other party run away." β
"Oh, what's going on?"
Huo Yuanzhen now knows that during the time he left, someone actually came to Shaolin to make trouble.
"Abbot, that's right, just yesterday, more than a dozen Taoist priests came, claiming to be from the Kongtong faction, came to our Shaolin, came in and declared that you were dead, and then asked us to kneel down and surrender to him. β
Huo Yuan's true face is sè-Shen, these guys from the Kongtong faction are so bold, they first chased and killed themselves in Chang'an, because they were hit by the rainstorm pear flower needle, they thought they were dead, and then they actually came to destroy their Shaolin Temple, which is unbearable, if they still dare to come, they will definitely let them have no return.
"And then?"
"Then we started with them, the two leading Taoist priests were very powerful, they were in the middle of the congenital stage, but they came up and were trapped by the eighteen of us, and then the Taoist priests who assassinated the rest were surrounded by Senior Brother Hui Wu and his disciples. β
"You're trapped in two mid-innate periods?"
"Yes, it was the middle of the two congenital periods, we cast the Arhat Formation, and began to attack according to the formation given to us by the abbot, and soon beat those two people to roll and climb, but the middle-one cooperation was not done well, and finally let the two of them rush out. β
"The two of them rushed out, and took the opportunity to kill into the crowd, and also injured several of our disciples, but they were to rescue their disciples, so they didn't start killing, otherwise I'm afraid someone in Shaolin would die yesterday." β
Hui Er said again, and then the eighteen of them knelt down together: "We have failed the abbot's infant, and I ask the abbot to punish him." β
Where did Huo Yuanzhen have the heart to punish them, these eighteen people were able to defeat two innate mid-stage and still be able to win, which was already a big surprise to him.
And this is also the result of their unskilled cooperation, if they are proficient in cooperation, those two Kongtong Taoist priests have now become prisoners.
As long as they are given some more time, this combined attack array will definitely be multiplied, especially after they have practiced the six-person combined attack, and the middle stage of the innate is no longer a problem. ...,
"You are also practicing these eighteen arhat formations for the first time, and it is inevitable that you will be rusty with them, after this battle, you must also realize your own shortcomings, and in the future, you must practice diligently, and you must not slack off. β
"Yes, please rest assured, abbot!"
Seeing that the abbot did not punish himself and the others, Hui - they immediately smiled, and they all stood up and said goodbye to Huo Yuanzhen.
"Wait, go and invite a few of your uncles, as well as Hui Wu and Hui Zhen, and they all come and say that I am back, and let them come to the abbot's courtyard to see me. β
"Yes. β
Hui and the others left, and Huo Yuanzhen returned to the abbot's courtyard by himself.
The silver ticket has arrived, and it is time for me to arrange the next step plan of the Shaolin Temple.
Not long after arriving in the house, Chen and others arrived one after another, and after seeing Huo Yuanzhen, they hurriedly saluted.
"Sit down, everybody. β
Everyone sat down, and Huo Yuanzhen looked around: "A few junior disciples, as well as a few of your disciples, this time the poor monk went to Chang'an, and he has basically done the matter, and brought back 100,000 silver tickets. β
Saying that, Huo Yuanzhen took out the silver tickets, -- ten thousand taels -- a total of ten.
Everyone happily congratulated Huo Yuanzhen, because there was no money, many of Shaolin's plans had to be forced to terminate, and now this problem has finally been solved, although 100,000 taels is not enough to pay off the debt, but the less - part, and then retain - part, now slightly solve the urgent need.
"Hui Zhen, you put away the silver ticket, first repay the Qian Zhuang 50,000 taels of interest, there are 53,000 taels is about the same, the remaining part of the thorns, immediately change the clothes of all the disciples, and then immediately recruit craftsmen, now it is spring, the ice and snow in the back mountain have also melted, and work will start immediately." β
"Yes, the disciple obeys. β
Hui Zhen put away the silver ticket, and now he is the housekeeper of Shaolin.
"Recruit craftsmen to keep in mind, because the back mountain should be divided into several areas, there are residential areas, there are scenic areas, there are lake areas, there are farmland areas and forest areas, residential areas, scenic areas, lake areas three areas - must use skilled craftsmen, be sure to make the scenery of the back mountain beautiful, and it will be of great use in the future. β
"Also, the reclamation of the farmland area does not have to be too dogmatic, it can be leveled, and the abbot has his own way. β
Although Hui Zhen didn't quite understand what the abbot meant, since the abbot said so, he must have his reason and nodded yes.
"The forest area should be kept in its original appearance, this is the largest area, don't destroy it, and usually strict disciples enter the forest area, and if they enter it rashly, it will be dangerous. β
This time it was addressed to a few people, and all of them agreed, and the abbot said that there was danger, then there would be danger.
After the order was finished, Huo Yuanzhen asked again about the incense situation in Shaolin in recent times and the situation of the Taoist priest Kongtong yesterday, and everyone gave detailed answers.
Listening to what they meant, although those Kongtong Taoist priests failed, they didn't suffer much damage, and they would mobilize people and horses to make a comeback.
"Abbot rest assured, our Shaolin now has many disciples, and has sent additional people to patrol and stand guard on the courtyard wall at the temple gate, and there are also people guarding the bell tower and drum tower, and the temple gate is three-legged, no matter which side there is a situation, the other two places will immediately issue an alarm, and the temple will immediately prepare to deal with it, those Taoist priests want to attack my Shaolin again, it is absolutely impossible. β
This is what Hui Wu said, and it is clear that he is also very confident in God's own arrangement.
Unexpectedly, Huo Yuanzhen shook his head: "Don't be careless, the enemy may appear from places you don't imagine, tell the disciples who are guarding, you must be vigilant enough." β
Hui Wu thought for a while: "Abbot, do you want to send someone to guard the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda again, no matter which direction comes, he can't immediately attack the guarding disciples on the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda, he can observe all directions, knowing that there is a sentry here, and the enemy has no way." β...,
"That's a good idea, you can try it. β
Encouraged Hui Wu continued: "Then do you want to send people to patrol the back mountain, and if there is an enemy climbing up from the back mountain? Although it is steep there, it will not be very difficult for the innate master to come up. β
"I don't have to guard the back mountain for the time being, I have my own plans. β
Hui Wu didn't continue to speak, since the abbot said that there was a plan, then there must be no problem.
At this time, Chen said again: "The abbot is here, the time is not short, it seems that it is almost a month." β
"Well, it's almost, I went at the beginning of March, and now it's the end of March, and it's April soon. β
"Yes, it's March 27th. β
Hearing Chen's words, Huo Yuanzhen suddenly thought that it was already March 27, and he said that it would be March 28, that is, the time for the March lottery.
Yesterday, those Taoist priests came and said that the abbot had died in Chang'an, and there were really some disciples whose hearts were fluctuating, after all, the abbot had been out for too long. β
"That's because ...... deleted"
Huo Yuanzhen said half-way, stopped there, and said after a while: "There is a person who is very important to the poor monk who is injured, and I have to take care of her." β
"Oh, it turns out that the abbot is taking care of friends, then it is understandable. β
- Chen did not ask, and continued: "I hope that the abbot will leave Shaolin in the future, if he goes out for a long time, it is best to pass on some information back every other time, so as not to worry about everyone." β
"βBrother Chen is right, the poor monk will pay attention.
At this point, that's pretty much it, -- Chen and the others got up one after another to say goodbye, and went about their own business.
In the next period of time, Shaolin will once again usher in the peak of development, the construction of the back mountain, not only to provide greater strategic depth for the Shaolin Temple, more importantly, Shaolin will also be self-sufficient, with the natural treasure house of Yuma Lake, the farmland area will definitely grow very well, even if there is no money, there is no need to worry about starvation.
This point is very great for people's psychological comfort, and it can also make Shaolin disciples have a greater sense of belonging.
βAfter they left, Huo Yuanzhen closed the door of the abbot's courtyard, and before he knew it, the March lottery was about to be counted.
Silently sat on the dry lotus platform, waiting for midnight to approach.
β Until 12 o'clock, the system prompt sounded: "When the March lottery time comes, will it be drawn immediately?" ...... οΌ
