Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Pain of the Past

One day, Liang Qing had walked not far from Southern Shaolin, and when she walked on the road, she always felt that someone was following her behind, but whenever she turned back, it was empty. She wondered what was going on. She wondered in her heart, "It's strange, am I hallucinating, this can't be......"

The reason why Liang Qing was so puzzled was because with her martial arts and wisdom, if someone followed her, it would be difficult not to be discovered by her. Liang Qing's internal strength has reached unfathomable, as long as she is lucky, even if she is a few hundred steps away, she can hear clearly.

In order to find out if she was hallucinating, when she walked to a big tree, she flew up the tree, hid, and waited for observation for a long time, but found that no one was following her behind her. Only then did she dispel her doubts and continue to stride forward. Soon, she came to Southern Shaolin.

Although Liang Qing has not been to Southern Shaolin yet, she has already heard of the name of the abbot. This good abbot is generous and benevolent, wise and martial, and highly respected, and his divine skills have reached the level of supernatural perfection.

The abbot of Shansui has a very high understanding, he has learned the essence of the "Mighty Vajra Palm" from the "Diamond Sutra", and has made a comprehensive pioneering improvement to the previous traditional "Mighty Vajra Palm", this magic skill can steal the power of the Dharma through the Dharma's heart, so its power has risen several steps compared to the traditional Mighty Vajra Palm, which is simply incomparable. Even the rivers and lakes speculated that his powerful Vajra palm was above Wu Zhongtian's mixed yuan divine skills, but he was good at following the abbot all his life without fighting with the world, being compassionate, and without any grievances and entanglements with the world, so his magic skills have never been shown in front of the world. Everyone only guessed the power of his powerful vajra palm through his disciple's description.

The abbot of Shansui and the abbot of Dehui of North Shaolin are respected by the world as "the two virtues and goodness", which means that he is the most virtuous and kind person in the world, so the names of these two abbots are known to everyone in the world, no one knows, and all admire.

"May I ask the little master, can you be good at following the abbot master?" Liang Qing walked to the temple, met a monk, and asked him this.

The other party said: "I don't know what the chief is doing to our abbot? He is now discussing important matters with Abbot Dehui of Northern Shaolin." ”

Liang Qing couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that Abbot Dehui of Northern Shaolin was also here. She thought to herself: "Although the north and south Shaolin used to be a family, but now it has been hundreds of years, the two Shaolin have already set up their own doors, and the two are thousands of miles apart, although we occasionally have Buddhist and Zen exchanges, but generally not the abbots on both sides come to each other in person." Looks like I'm here today......"

Liang Qing had met Abbot Dehui a few years ago, when she had gone to Northern Shaolin to find out Xiao Yong's whereabouts. However, at that time, she found nothing in Northern Shaolin. Liang Qing still remembered Abbot Dehui's voice and appearance at this time.

Liang Qingdao: "I also have something important to find the abbot of Shansui, and I also ask the little master to inform me." ”

The other party said: "The abbot is discussing important matters, it is inconvenient to disturb him, the Taoist chief, please follow me to the meditation room and wait for the abbot to come out." ”

Immediately, Liang Qing followed the monk to a meditation room and waited. Liang Qing was in the room, faintly heard the conversation next door, he heard that it was Shansui and Dehui talking, out of curiosity, she used her internal strength, and listened attentively to the words of the two abbots. At this point, she could hear the words clearly in her ears.

Dehui said: "I remember when we were still very young, I had the third junior brother with you, the three of us had the best relationship, and we practiced martial arts and zazen every day, and the three of us were inseparable." Among the three of us, you and the third junior brother have a very high level of understanding, especially the third junior brother, he realized the mystery of Patriarch Bodhidharma's "Washing the Pulp Sutra" at such a young age, it is simply incredible......"

Shan Sui said: "Senior brother is right! How can the wisdom of the two of us be compared to that of the third junior brother! After the third junior brother realized the mystery of the Washing the Essence Sutra, his martial arts improved rapidly. If that demon girl hadn't appeared halfway, his martial arts attainments would definitely be above you and me, and he would definitely become a generation of martial arts masters in the world.

My Mighty Vajra Palm is completely inspired by the way of thinking of the three junior disciples, and I have realized the magic trick from the Diamond Sutra. The third junior brother is a martial arts wizard who has been rare for hundreds of years, and it's a pity that the demon girl killed him......"

Dehui said: "After the demon girl took the third junior brother away, it was almost a lifetime, and so far they have not heard from each other, I don't know if they are dead or ......alive."

Shan Sui said: "Over the years, I have been secretly inquiring about the whereabouts of the third junior brother, but I have not found any clues about him, the three of us are now in their old age, and it is estimated that we will not have the opportunity to reunite with the third junior brother in this life." Amitabha!"

Dehui said: "Amitabha!"

Shan Sui said: "Senior brother, do you remember the friendship and things of the three of us back then?"

Dehui said: "How can I not remember! Over the years, I have often dreamed of the three of us together. Remember that demon girl Chieko......"

......

The conversation between the two abbots after this was mainly to recall their past, and Liang Qing probably knew the story of the two abbots when they were young. The main content that Liang Qing heard can be summed up as follows:

When the abbot was young, he became a monk in North Shaolin, and he and Abbot Dehui, as well as a person named Xie Dang, had the best relationship with the three and had a deep friendship. The person named Xie Dang was extremely smart, and at a very young age, he realized the mystery of the "Washing the Marrow Sutra" created by Bodhidharma, and the mystery of the "Washing the Pulp Sutra" is better than the "Yijin Sutra". If you can understand its mystery, it will have an incomparably magical effect on the cultivation of internal strength, and it can change from one to ten. In other words, through one year of cultivation, one can obtain the internal strength that ordinary people can only obtain after ten years of cultivation.

A few days after Xie Dang realized the "Washing the Marrow Sutra", he met a woman, that woman's name was Qianhuizi, she was charming and enchanting, very beautiful and moving, after Xie Dang knew her, he was a little moved. And the woman liked him very much, and seduced him in various ways.

At that time, both Dehui and Shansui felt that Chieko was a little evil, so they advised Xie Dang to stay away from her. When Chieko heard that Shansui deliberately obstructed their good deeds, she held a grudge and designed to frame Shansui, and Chieko killed her own sister, and then disguised herself as a rape and murder scene, first deceived Shansui to the scene of the killing, and then, she went to the abbot with great grief and indignation to report Shansui, saying that Shansui was committing violence against her sister, and asked the abbot to bring someone to rescue her.

When the abbot arrived at the scene, he found that Chieko's sister was raped and killed naked, and Zensui was by his side, so he decided that it was indeed the case. Subsequently, the abbot had Shansui imprisoned and prepared to be beaten to death with a rod the next day.

Shansui shouted at that time, but only Dehui firmly believed that Shansui was wronged, and no one else believed it. In order to save Shansui, Dehui secretly released Shansui overnight and asked him to escape from Shaolin Temple quickly. After Shansui left the Northern Shaolin, he came to the Southern Shaolin to continue his practice.

Soon after Zensuke escaped, the abbot sensed that Chieko was evil, so he also prevented Xie Dang from communicating with her, and from then on, Chieko held a grudge against the abbot. At noon on a hot summer day, the abbot took Xie Dang and other people out to do business, passing by the door of Chieko's house, Chieko warmly beckoned everyone into her house, and then brought out tea for everyone to drink, because the weather was too hot, everyone was indeed a little thirsty, and at the same time could not stand her enthusiasm, so they drank her tea. Soon after everyone drank the tea, everyone suddenly felt weak and lost their internal strength, and they couldn't help but be surprised.

After Chieko saw that everyone was poisoned, she directly expressed her resentment towards her father-in-law. Then he stabbed the abbot to death with a sword, and when Xie Dang saw this, he begged her to let the others go. Chieko also listened to Xie Dang's pleas and did not kill the others.

After those survivors returned to Shaolin, they told everyone about Chieko's vicious and cruel acts. Later, those survivors have always lost their internal strength, and no matter how they cultivated, they did not recover any internal strength. Until now, no one knew what kind of poison had been put into the tea.

In the end, Chieko helped Xie Dang to leave her home, and since then, the two have disappeared from the rivers and lakes without any news. Since Xie Dang disappeared, there is no second person in the world who knows the mystery of the "Washing the Pulp Sutra".

Liang Qing listened to the stories of the two abbots in the past, and the doubts in his heart suddenly dissipated. She guessed in her heart: "These two abbots used to be senior brothers, and they had deep feelings, and Abbot Dehui came this time, and it is estimated that the main purpose is to catch up with the past." ”
