Chapter 33: Revenge
The old monk said that the story was coming to an end here. Why? Because Yuantong served as the abbot of Lingguang Temple and let go of Zhixin, his prestige reached the extreme. The internal troubles were eliminated, the mood of the monks in the temple was stabilized, and no one dared to steal the imperial treasure, in fact, nothing happened in the future.
Besides, Jin Yiwei still tracked the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty very closely, Chen Wei and Zhao Zhi fell into a panic, and the two families were incognito, not daring to make the slightest movement, and gradually forgot all about the past.
The old monk also said that the story after Hongwu was interrupted, which can be omitted here. However, the next story suddenly emerged from the suicide of Lord Chongzhen and the overthrow of the Ming Dynasty.
Surrounded by a group of mountains in the middle of Hunan, a sandy beach is formed between the confluence of two streams, and over time, a wide flat land is formed, because most of the people in the town are surnamed Yuan, who have been doing copper ore and timber business here for hundreds of years, and there are many people who come and go, and gradually form a small town, called Yuanjiatan Town.
When the dynasty changed, when others were still worried about the Qing army's attack, the Yuan family unusually celebrated. Yuan Shuhong, the master of the Yuan family, followed the will of his ancestors, and the cellar could be opened when the dynasty changed. Yuan Shuhong knew from the moment he was sensible that his father did not allow them to enter the cellar, and he was not clear about what was inside, so he was very curious. Only before his father died did he give him the key and instructed Haosheng to keep it, but not to open it, and to wait for the fall of the Ming Dynasty. Decades have passed in a blink of an eye, and he is also 70 years old. This year, just in time for the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he decided to open the cellar.
The lock of the cellar door was rusted, and after finally opening it, the large wooden box in the cellar was opened, and there was a piece of armor, a war knife, and a jade plaque engraved with words. Yuan Shuhong looked at the jade plate carefully, and then realized that he was originally a descendant of General Chen Wei of the Yuan Dynasty.
Yuan Shuxiang discussed with the clansmen, chose a day to make a big ceremony, changed the ancestral hall to the Chen family ancestral hall, changed Yuanjiatan to Chenjiatan, and changed the whole clan to the surname Chen.
Everyone only knows that the ancestor is surnamed Chen, and the surname was changed to Yuan in order to avoid war and pursuit, and now the Ming Dynasty has fallen, and the surname Chen has been changed, but the truth is not known, and the secret is only passed on between father and son.
Chen Shuhong's son is called Chen Chunyang, and he has always been in business with his father, but he has a hobby, likes to practice martial arts, and can dance a few times with fists, sticks and knives. Chen Shuxiang told him about his ancestors before he died, and he was greatly shaken and secretly vowed to continue the glorious history of the Chen family. He lamented that he was old and pinned his hopes on future generations, so he sent his two sons to the monastery to practice martial arts, and from then on, he wanted the Chen family to embark on the road of martial arts again.
Let's say that in the mountainous area of southern Zhejiang, that is, not far from Liu Ji's hometown, there is a mountain village of Zhoujiadun. This mountain village is unusual, with temples, ancestral halls, and academies, and so on, thanks to the Zhou family's many years of operation. The Zhou family traveled to many places, and only moved here during the Zhengde period, not only operating a paper mill, but also operating wood and Chinese medicinal materials, and the business was done in Taizhou and Jiangnan Province.
At this moment, Zhou Depu is in charge of the Zhou family, and he is also in his fifties. A year after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army captured Hangzhou, and then all parts of the country surrendered. Zhou Depu was very excited, which made many people not quite understand. It turned out that when my father died, he told me that they were the descendants of General Zhao Zhi of the Yuan Dynasty, and he also took out the treasured Zhao family boxing book and the illustration of the mother-son darts.
After the demise of the Ming Dynasty, the Zhou family raised their eyebrows and could finally admit that they were surnamed Zhao. At that time, it was hidden near Liu Ji's hometown, and it was the so-called dark under the lights, but it was safer. Now he changed Zhou Jiadun to Zhao Jiadun, and all the surnames of Zhou were changed to Zhao surnames. He had three sons, all of whom were in business, and since then he has arranged for his descendants to learn martial arts. In order to realize the wish of the Zhao family, he planned a careful plan and vowed to fight for more brilliant glory for the Zhao family.
In the thirty-sixth year of Kangxi, a case occurred in the capital, which caused a sensation in the government and the opposition. The scholar Mingzhu was corrupt and bribed, and built a village courtyard between the wind and water pavilions, and the four walls were chiseled with white jade, and he was extremely poor and luxurious. His wife and Sheri were so cruel that they forbade Mingzhu to talk to her maidservant. One day, Mingzhu occasionally said that a certain maid had beautiful eyes, so she gouged out the maid's eyes and gave them to Mingzhu to see. When the handmaiden's father found out, he killed the Sherry clan with a sword.
This kind of news spread from the capital to Zhejiang, and Zhao Depu's grandson Zhao Yu was greatly inspired. At that time, Zhao Yu was entrusted by his grandfather to become a warrior monk in Tiantai Guoqing Temple, with the name Starry Sky, practicing every day, and his kung fu has grown significantly, and it can be said that he has practiced eighteen kinds of weapons. He felt that it was time to go out of the mountain, and was affected by the case in the capital, and thought that as a descendant of the Zhao family, he must have blood and dare to take revenge and hatred.
He bid farewell to the monastery and came to Fulin County to find Lingguang Temple. Unexpectedly, it took a lot of twists and turns, the original Ming Dynasty perished, and the temple changed the Lingguang Temple to the Mirin Temple to commemorate the dense master.
Time has passed, and over the past few hundred years, the Mirin Temple has also changed a lot. When Yuantong took over the abbot, he died at the age of 74, and his son took over, and during the Jiajing period of the third generation of the Luo family, the abbot clarified that when the master passed away, his son was serving as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and died in the battle with the Japanese on the coast of Zhejiang, and his grandson was less than seven years old. The court had no choice but to appoint a new abbot and reinstate the position of abbot from among the monks. At this time, the abbot was Master Hongwen. Venerable Hongwen practiced in Putuo and later returned to Beijing to participate in the management of the monastery in the Sangha Division. To serve in Lingguang Temple, according to our current words, is an airborne cadre. Dafan Jingshi sent monks, the eyes of the master is low, and gradually went downhill, when the Ming Dynasty fell, the monks of the monastery were almost halved.
When Zhao Yu arrived at the Mirin Temple, the abbot of the temple had just passed away, and only the superintendent Min and the master were in charge of the temple, and they had not yet taken over as the host.
Master Min He is in his thirties, but Buddhism is very deep, he has been in the temple since childhood, studied Buddhism, and also practiced martial arts.
Zhao Yu broke into the temple, and Yang Yan wanted to compete. Min He patiently persuaded and was unwilling to compete. Zhao Yu refused to leave, shouting in the temple every day. Min and the mage had no choice but to talk to him again.
What about winning? What about defeat? Min and asked.
If the mage wins, I will immediately roll back to the Qing Temple in the starry sky, or be dealt with by the mage; If the mage is defeated, please hand over the national treasure given by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Min He was taken aback, no one has mentioned the matter of national treasures for more than 200 years, but today someone has mentioned it again, there must be a reason. But he didn't want to ask the reason, and he didn't want to compete at all, because there was no national treasure at all, and he had been searching the temple for many years, and he had long become a mystery of history. Thinking of this, he smiled slightly.
Amitabha, Master Starry Sky, please go back, there is no national treasure in my temple. Even if you beat the poor monk to death, you won't get the treasure.
Starry Sky is willing to believe and insist on competition. He rushed up to the temple desperately and swung his fist at Min and the mage in the hallway. Min He dodged a few punches, jumped down the steps, stood in the courtyard, and put his palms together again to persuade again.
Seeing that he couldn't beat Minhe, the starry sky tried his best to make ruthless moves. Min He thought that if he didn't defeat him, he would definitely not leave, so he fought back. Min He greatly worships the dense Buddha Heart Fist, and works hard to practice self-enlightenment, and he can't help but use it today. Starry Sky's fist hit his body and was sucked in, and it couldn't hurt Min and the mage at all, and the mage didn't want to hurt him without a heavy hand. For this reason, Xingkong was greatly surprised, knowing that it was not an opponent, and it was a few levels behind, so it was better to go home and practice again.
Seeing the starry sky and closing his hands, Min and his hands were folded.
The mage is great, but I'll be back later. Starry Sky's face was flushed and very embarrassed, and he hurriedly left the temple after saluting.
Such a reckless little monk broke into the hall, Master Min He didn't mind, and he didn't delve into it. But another year later, another such incident happened.
In the thirty-seventh year of Kangxi, the Huang Ming Uprising occurred in Jingzhou, Hunan, and this person was a subordinate of Wu Sanhang. Chen Chunyang's two sons, Fusheng and Shouqing, are practicing martial arts at the local monastery. The abbot of this temple and Huang Ming are old friends, so they helped out, and the two brothers also participated. Soon, the Qing army came to settle the sentence, and the rebel army was dispersed. The two brothers couldn't return home, so they discussed going to Lingguang Temple to take revenge and seize the treasure.
When they arrived at the temple, after the two entered the temple to investigate, they decided to enter the temple late at night to kidnap the abbot and force them to hand over the imperial treasures.
The two crossed the wall into the temple late at night, pulled out the door bolt of the abbot's room, and touched the head of the bed, but found that there was no one on the bed. The two were puzzled, jumped off the beam, and kicked them out of the room with two kicks.
