Chapter 25: Su Huazi
On the Shaolin Mountain Road, the green trees that are shady during the day look eerie and terrifying at night, and the mountain wind is whistling, driving the skirts of Ning Wanjun and Xiaocui to fly.
"Miss, why did you leave Tie Niu behind? He is so stupid, can he make it? It is better to find a reliable person in the main altar" Xiao Cui asked puzzled.
Ning Wanjun had already removed the veil, and her beautiful face couldn't really be seen at night, so she turned back to Xiao Cui and said: "You don't understand, Tie Niu is stupid, but it is precisely because he is stupid that it is easier to gain the trust of that abbot, if you find a clever one from the main altar, it will be a bad thing."
"Clever people can do bad things? why?" Xiao Cui was very puzzled.
"You underestimate the abbot, this person is unfathomable, I am in the pagoda, once removed the veil, and failed to cause him a trace of mood swings, and he doesn't care about my identity at all, I can't see the level of martial arts, on the surface it seems that there is no kung fu, but a roar in front of the mountain gate, it is clear that the roar of the Buddhist lion has reached a very high level, and he also deliberately controls the internal force, this kind of ability can not be an incompetent person, this person is actually extremely shrewd, but he is a monk, he does not pay attention to worldly things, if he finds a clever person to go, but makes him vigilant, once he is vigilant, it is useless for me to go to whomever I wantβγ
"He's so powerful, I'm afraid it's useless for the iron bull there?"
"No, as long as that γγγ is indeed on the Shaolin Yuzhai Mountain, the Iron Bull will find something sooner or later, not to mention the rhubarb, the ability to find things, rhubarb is much stronger than people."
Xiao Cui nodded: "It's still Miss You think thoughtfully, better than Xiao Cui."
"Less poor, it's night, let's hurry up."
Ning Wanjun glanced back at the Shaolin Temple in the dark night, and then jumped up with Xiaocui on the spot, came to the treetops, and clicked the branches at their feet, like Lingbo fairies, and disappeared into the night.
Seeing Ning Wanjun away, Huo Yuanzhen was a little vigilant.
However, Huo Yuanzhen still felt that although this Ning Wanjun had her purpose, she had no malicious intent.
It's just that now I don't know what her purpose is, so I can only be careful.
That night, because Tie Niu was too big, the small temple could not accommodate him, so he had to go to the bedroom that had not yet been fully built to live for the night.
The tiger did not follow Ning Wanjun and the others away, but entered the mountains and forests.
In the early morning of the next day, Huo Yuanzhen, Yikong and others continued to recruit lay disciples, and Tie Niu was also arranged by them to sign up for the test, and after passing the test, he could enter Shaolin.
There are about 100 people who came to sign up today, and Tie Niu stood in the crowd, his height of more than two meters was unusually conspicuous.
After yesterday's test of patience, the news has spread, and among the people who came today, as long as they passed the physical examination, they performed well in the postgraduate examination patience.
After being inspected by several monks, there were more than twenty people who finally passed.
Among them are Tie Niu, and Huang Feihong actually came to Shaolin today, hoping to become a lay disciple.
More than 20 people who have passed will accept Huo Yuanzhen's final test, and once they pass the test of Huo Yuanzhen's character, then they will officially become Shaolin lay disciples.
Today, Huo Yuanzhen put on a new gray cloth monk's robe, which is also his only new monk's robe at present.
Huo Yuanzhen had already planned, and when the lay disciples were recruited, he immediately started to change his clothes in Shaolin, this monk's robe is either gray or earthy yellow, how ugly and ugly it is, becoming a monk is already bald, and wearing it so shabby is really not in line with his future identity as the number one faction in martial arts.
The final assessment location was in the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda, Huo Yuanzhen moved a table and sat at the door of the tower, and the person who accepted the character test stood at the bottom of the steps.
After more than twenty people who passed came, Huo Yuanzhen announced: "The last assessment will start in half an hour, during this time, you can move freely, but you are not allowed to leave the fourth area, just within this range, after half an hour, come to me to gather."
These people were worried that they would not be able to pass the last hurdle, but now when they heard the abbot say that they could move freely for half an hour, their tense nerves relaxed.
Most of the people are natives of the country, and they know each other, and they wander around the fourth area in groups.
Huo Yuanzhen meditated in the tower and silently practiced his child's skills.
In this fourth area, Huo Yuanzhen put a hundred copper plates in various corners and hidden places, and Huang Feihong was his own insider, secretly supervising the conduct of these people after picking up the copper plates.
Huang Feihong is already a Shaolin lay disciple of Huo Yuanzhen's inner determination, and he has also helped Shaolin repel the enemy, he has nothing to say in terms of character, and he is a Dengfeng person, so it is best for him to supervise.
Everyone went out to wander, but the Iron Ox was still standing at the bottom of the steps, motionless, like a huge black iron tower.
Huo Yuanzhen said with some curiosity: "Tie Niu, why don't you go out for a walk?
"I'm going to protect the abbot here", Tie Niu replied in a sullen voice, and his voice was loud.
"Oh, protect me, do you think I don't have the ability to protect myself?" Huo Yuanzhen asked pretending to be profound.
Tie Niu thought for a while: "You seem to have some skills, but I still have to protect you, this is what Miss explained."
Yesterday, he performed a lion's roar in front of the iron bull, although there was room for it, but ordinary people would never be able to stand their own roar, this iron bull just changed color on his face at that time, and took a step back, it seemed that there was no big problem, but Huo Yuanzhen believed that he was definitely uncomfortable.
It's just that he's unusually strong, so it doesn't seem like he's doing anything.
Thinking of yesterday's scene, Huo Yuan's heart moved, he sat there and leaned forward, opened his mouth, as if he was about to shout something.
Sure enough, Tie Niu's face changed color, and he couldn't help but take a step back, revealing a hint of fear.
This iron bull is extremely talented, he can fight tigers and leopards with his bare hands, and he has never known what to be afraid of, but the sudden shouting of Huo Yuanzhen standing in front of him yesterday really made him afraid.
Even if Huo Yuanzhen's martial arts skills are high, he will not be afraid if he can easily defeat him, but Huo Yuanzhen just shouted, which made his heart agitated and dizzy, although he was defenseless at the time, but this unknown means made him unable to understand, and naturally he would feel afraid.
Tie Niu's performance made Huo Yuanzhen very satisfied, and he leaned back in the chair, looking at the meaning on his face, it seemed that he had let Tie Niu go.
Tie Niu over there breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't figure out Huo Yuan's true details more and more.
How did he know that Huo Yuanzhen was also pretending, except for yelling, Huo Yuanzhen had no other ability to make a move.
Soon it was half an hour, during which Huang Feihong quietly slipped back a few times and reported to Huo Yuanzhen the situation after some people found the copper plate.
When the time came, these people gathered together again and waited for Huo Yuanzhen's assessment.
"This recruitment of Shaolin lay disciples, the assessment has ended."
Huo Yuanzhen's first sentence was shocking, most of the people present were dumbfounded, and only a few people realized and showed a happy look.
"Abbot, why is it over yet?".
Questions were raised.
Huo Yuanzhen stood up from behind the table, came to the steps of the pagoda, and looked at everyone condescendingly: "My Shaolin is a Buddhism, Buddhism chooses disciples, the first thing to value is a person's heart, the poor monk said before, I am here for the final test, it is to test people's hearts, and this half-hour rest time is actually a test."
Many people understood what had happened, and their faces turned red in an instant, no wonder it was a good thing to pick up copper plates on the ground, I am afraid it was all arranged by this abbot.
Sure enough, Huo Yuanzhen continued to speak: "The poor monk threw a total of one hundred and twenty copper plates in this fourth area, and you people, during the rest process, have all found copper plates alone or with others, but your behavior is different."
Saying that, Huo Yuanzhen took out a list: "There are all the names of all of you here, but only three people have really passed the test."
As he spoke, Huo Yuanzhen pronounced out his name: "Huang Feihong, pass! Tie Niu, pass! Su boy, pass!"
After reading, Huo Yuanzhen said: "Picking up gold is not a kind of morality, people who lose money must be very anxious, returning the money is actually to relieve the suffering of others, that is, to do good, don't think that the copper plate is a trivial matter, don't take the evil as a small thing, don't take the good as a small thing, accumulate good and reduce auspiciousness, accumulate bad and bring harm, you think about it carefully, and go home separately."
Those who were not read their names had nothing to say, and put down the copper plates they had picked up with shame on their faces, and then saluted Huo Yuanzhen one by one and went down the mountain.
Looking at the remaining four people, Huo Yuanzhen said: "The three of you, now officially become my lay disciples of Shaolin, and go with the poor monks to worship the ancestor in a while, even if you are my Shaolin disciple."
Huang Feihong is a disciple of Neiding, and at this time, his face is full of energy, licking his chest and belly.
Su Xiaozi is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy named Huazi, unkempt, and he signed up for Su Xiaozi.
Huo Yuanzhen deliberately looked at this Su boy and asked, "Is your name Su boy?"
"Back to the abbot, the boy's surname is Su, but when I was young, my parents were gone, I grew up asking for food, no one named me, everyone called me Su boy."
Huo Yuanzhen nodded: "As a beggar, you can still pick up gold, you are very good, in this way, the poor monk will give you a common name today, and it will be called Su Can."
When Su Can heard that he had a name, he burst into tears with excitement, and knelt down there and kowtowed to Huo Yuanzhen: "Thank you Master Abbot, I have a name, thank you Master Abbot γγγ."
Su Can!
Huo Yuanzhen turned his thoughts in his heart, but his face was silent, and after letting Su Can kowtow a few times, he let him get up and prepare to take a few people to the back mountain.
There is the tomb of the old monk Xuanming, which is said to worship the Shaolin patriarch, but in fact, it is to worship the old monk Xuanming.
Just as he was about to go, suddenly Tie Niu also knelt down.
"Abbot, I don't want to be a lay disciple, I want to shave my head and be a monk!"
