Chapter 10: Sisters (2)
Zhi said: "As the saying goes, 'illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread', and saving the country and the people cannot be completed overnight." I have gathered a rebel army and prepared to sail to Liaodong to fight the golden slaves. ”
It must be known that Nurhachi established Houjin in the 44th year of Wanli and proclaimed himself the Great Han, so he swore to defeat the Ming Dynasty with the "Seven Hatreds". The war in Liaodong immediately became tense, and Nurhachi defeated tens of thousands of Ming troops one after another, capturing important towns including Fushun. The successive defeats in the border battles caused the shock of the imperial court from top to bottom. Emperor Wanli decided to concentrate his forces in an attempt to extinguish Houjin in one fell swoop, so he sent 100,000 troops to Liaodong to fight Nurhachi.
Zhi said again: "The court has decided to fight to the death with the golden slaves. The time has come to serve the country, in order to annihilate the golden slave, I will rush to Liaodong, join the righteous army, and kill the golden slave by surprise. ”
Jiang Kexin hurriedly said: "Master, I will also go to such a happy thing as killing the golden slave." Zhi said: "It's too dangerous for you to go to Liaodong as a girl, not to mention that from now on you have to teach the martial arts of the two junior sisters." Who will teach them with you and me? Jiang Ke said happily: "Master, you are willing to accept them as apprentices!" Wisely, he said, "The monks don't speak. Jiang Kexin said: "Two sisters, come and apprentice. ”
Wang Shuqiu and Yang Tear hurriedly bowed, and said in their mouths: "Master is above, please accept the disciple's worship!" Zhi hurriedly helped them up.
Jiang Kexin shouted wildly: "Bihe, is the incense case ready?" Zhi said: "Kexin, you have always known that you don't like red tape as a teacher, and it is simple if you can be simple." Jiang Kexin hurriedly said again: "Bihe, don't put it off!" ”
Zhi said: "Do you know why I took you two as apprentices?" Wang Shuqiu and Yang Tear shook their heads together.
Zhi Zhi said: "I have been a monk in Shaolin Temple since I was a child. Although he is in Buddhism, his heart is red dust. The Master said that I had not yet eradicated all the roots, and asked me to study the Buddhist scriptures in the monastery to make the six roots pure. At first, when Master was there, I was still studying the Buddhist scriptures, but the things contained in the Buddhist scriptures were incompatible with entering the world, and how could I ignore the world and stay out of the world when I was in the world. ”
"Later, when the master passed away, I went to the Luohan Hall to study martial arts. I know that if you want to make a difference, you have to practice good kung fu. Fortunately, my qualifications are not stupid, and I have learned a variety of Shaolin stunts. At that time, the imperial court was not as good as a day, and selling officials and lords abounded. In particular, the eunuchs were rampant and domineering everywhere, and the people were prey, causing complaints. ”
Wang Shuqiu sighed secretly: Master really shouldn't be a monk, worry about the country and the people, and be brave and loyal, if you are in the temple, it is not only the blessing of my Ming, but also the blessing of the people. A good person is a monk, which shows that the court is really dim.
Jiang Kexin interjected: "Master is so concerned about the world, why don't you leave Shaolin early, serve your family and country, and petition for the people." Why bother guarding the green lantern of the Buddha every day, wouldn't it bury the fame of a lifetime. ”
Zhi smiled and said, "You have said that Master is very high. Jiang Kexin said: "It's not high at all, I'm afraid it's still low." You say don't you? Wang Shuqiu and Yang nodded with a smile.
Zhi said: "Later, I practiced martial arts proficiently, often secretly went to Shaolin, fought injustices in the Songshan area, punished a group of silverfish that harmed the country and the people, and rescued a group of suffering people. He is known as the 'chivalrous monk'. Gradually, it was introduced into the Shaolin Temple, and the monks in the temple knew that it was me who did it. At that time, I was a monk in his fifties, the same generation as the Shaolin abbot. He is an elder of the Shaolin Temple. ”
"The abbot of Shaolin felt that the situation was serious, and gathered more than a dozen senior monks of the Zhizi generation to try me together. I have no fear, I feel that what I have done is moral, I have never done anything that hurts humanity and reason, and it is all righteous. My righteousness has won the praise of some wise monks. However, some other senior monks of the Zhizi generation, led by the abbot of Shaolin, stuck to the rules and rested on their laurels, thinking that I had violated the temple rules by going down the mountain without permission, and it was even more intolerable to fight with people. ”
"I didn't accept it, so I said loudly that the thirteen stick monks of Shaolin helped Tang King Li Shimin to open a new dynasty, and they were also doing the right thing for heaven and helping the people of the world, why did I violate the rules of the temple. What's more, now that the people are living in dire straits, it is unkind to have the ability to help but not help, and it is disloyal to let the court become more and more corrupt and not to help, and this kind of disloyalty and unkindness is just a walking corpse in the world. ”
Wang Shuqiu secretly wondered: The master is worthy of the title of "chivalrous monk", with a grand plan and a state of good luck, how can the old monk in the mountains understand. Master is indeed an iron-blooded man. I can't help but sigh that as a daughter, I can't be like my master to help the world.
Then I thought that if I could learn that the master would become a successful husband, even if it was a daughter, she would have to help the poor and help the needy, and she must not be like a Shaolin monk, who has a good kung fu but does not ask the sky, which is really pedantic. Thinking of this, she didn't feel arrogant, she really wanted to drink ten bowls of sorghum wine in a row, and go to the battlefield across the horse knife to kill the enemy and serve the country, and the horse leather shroud did not hesitate.
Zhi then said: "The Shaolin abbot doesn't care about this, as long as he violates the temple rules, he will be punished." Since I was originally a senior monk of the Zhizi generation, although I violated the temple rules, there was no bad behavior, so I was expelled from Shaolin and did not abolish martial arts. They also asked me to swear in front of the Buddha that I would never use Shaolin martial arts again after leaving Shaolin. I perfunctory them on the surface, but in my heart I swore to the Buddha that in the future, I will walk in the rivers and lakes, not only use Shaolin martial arts to do chivalrous righteousness, relieve the people from hanging upside down, but also carry forward Shaolin kung fu. ”
"Think about it, if Shaolin Kung Fu is passed on to loyal people, then they will be like a fish in water, like a tiger with wings. I will definitely think about the people everywhere like me, kill all the corrupt officials, local tyrants and bad gentry, so that there will be no more people in the world who oppress the good and do evil. Only then can the people live in peace and stability, it is really 'the road is not forgotten, the night is not closed', do you say! ”
Jiang Kexin patted the table and said, "What Master said is not wrong at all. As long as there are no corrupt officials in the world, the court will not be corrupt. As soon as the court is clear, the people will live and work in peace and contentment. Everyone has food, everyone has clothing, there is no hunger and cold, and it is really a paradise on earth to stay away from war. Ah, 'Paradise, love as I have'. Wang Shuqiu and Yang Tear clapped their hands together.
Zhi said: "I really hope that the paradise on earth can come sooner, so that the people will not suffer so much." Yang Tian looked at the ceiling, and said, "When I got off Songshan, I encountered an ambush." It turned out to be the masters of Dongchang, and they didn't dare to lose Shaolin recklessly, so they had to lie on the way down the mountain. ”
Jiang Kexin snorted and said, "It's really despicable and shameless, the imperial court specializes in shameless deeds." These rat thieves and dogs, the master will naturally send them away with three punches and two kicks! ”
Zhi said: "These masters of the East Factory are not idle people. Generally, martial arts people avoid it from afar, for fear of provoking the fire. In the future, if you walk the rivers and lakes, if you encounter Dongchang and Jinyiwei, you can avoid it, and don't be brave for a while. ”
Jiang Kexin pouted: "Do you want to let them bully?" Zhi smiled and said, "Won't you fight back when people bully you?" Just don't mess with them first. Of the three of you, I'm most worried about you. One day, you will offend Dongchang and Jinyiwei. ”
Jiang Kexin said: "With the master here, those doglegs are not settled in two or three strokes." What's more, your disciple and I are not bad at kung fu, and it is more than enough to deal with a few rats. Zhi smiled and said: "I'm afraid that if you send it today, you will come again tomorrow, and it will become more and more intense, and the future troubles will be endless." It must be known that the people who are targeted by Dongchang and Jinyiwei have only a dead end. However, the teacher has found you a person who can deal with these minions. ”
Jiang Kexin said: "Who is so powerful? Zhi laughed and said, "You'll know later." Wang Shuqiu's heart moved, and she secretly wondered: Could it be that the master knows my identity?
Jiang Kexin smiled and said, "Master, you haven't said how to send these minions alive. Zhi said: "It's not easy to send this group of eagle dogs. It took almost all the tricks I learned in Shaolin to kill several people, one of them was wounded and fled, and I was slightly injured. I know very well that you must not stay here, and there will be a batch of Dongchang fans, endlessly. So I hid everywhere, came to Yangzhou on this day, and didn't want to get rid of the tracking of the East Factory, so I fought with it, fortunately there was Kexin to help, otherwise it would be more auspicious. ”
Jiang Kexin said triumphantly: "The apprentice has always implemented the master's sermon, and it is my generation's chivalrous action to draw a sword to help when the road is uneven." Zhi said: "Later, I saw that Kexin has a chivalrous heart and a talent for practicing martial arts, although she is a girl, she is more upright than some vain manhood." Therefore, I accepted the first disciple in my life. ”
Jiang Kexin heard this, and said happily: "Master, I am really your founding disciple. Zhi smiled and said, "It really can't be fake." As a teacher, he learned martial arts in Shaolin, and he was chivalrous everywhere, and he had no kung fu to accept disciples. It wasn't until you started accepting disciples. I don't want to accept two apprentices in a row today, which is really a great joy in life. ”
Jiang Kexin said: "I am your first disciple, is that the size of the entry first." Zhi said: "Of course. Because the teacher is not there, you still have to urge the two junior sisters to practice martial arts. ”
Wang Shuqiu and Yang Tear called Jiang Kexin respectfully and respectfully in unison, "Senior Sister", which made her so happy.
