117, Zhengzhou Wilderness

What happened? All the monks and monks present could see it clearly. In this shaky moment, the old abbot, who was already old and weak, was suddenly haggard, as pale as a deaf bell, and his expression was as stunned as a stone bottle. It was as if a terrible pale ghost had descended before him, pulling him, crippling him, teasing him! Just from the old abbot's gray face and green eyes, it can be seen that the old abbot is going to die! He will return to that world.

However, the old abbot strengthened his spirit, tried his best, trembled his lips slightly, and said breathlessly: "Quick! …… Fast! Go chase it back! I...... I have big things to tell them. ”

When the little monk heard the old abbot's instructions, he said with a sad and reluctant face: "Temple master! I'm afraid they'...... It's almost to Bianliang. ”

"Ahh ......" The old abbot's face was pale, his eyes were dull, and he could no longer speak.

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves from the southwest.

When the monks heard the prestige, they saw a flying horse rushing into the crematorium, and a middle-aged monk had already leaped off his horse and rushed to the old abbot, looking at the old abbot in horror and shouting: "Master Fayuan! Master Fayuan! Are the thirteen Shaolin disciples really dead? ”

At this time, the old abbot who was lying on the knees of several monks tried to open his blurred eyes, but he could no longer see clearly who the monks were coming from in front of him, so he had to hold back his strength and say, "Yes! They're gone! ”

"Ahh The eighteen Arhats of our temple have all been killed! ”

This sentence instantly exploded like a huge thunderbolt, and slashed straight into the heads of all the people present. Especially the old abbot, he only felt that his mind was "buzzing", like an electric touch, and his eyes were even more blurred. He just felt that the heavens were spinning for a while, his soul wanted to fly, his soul wanted to disperse, as if he was unconscious. His blood and nerves seemed to be gradually coagulating, leaving only a dry old skin.

At this time, the great monk in front of the old abbot muttered again: "The old abbot of our temple and Master Fashen ordered the disciples to come, and they also asked the disciples to greet Master Fayuan!" ”

The middle-aged monk had already said this, but the old abbot did not respond at all. The monks suddenly realized that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly approached the old abbot, only to see that the old abbot was already pale, his eyes were closed, and his head was on the side. When everyone saw this, they were immediately panicked, and hurriedly shouted desperately: "Old abbot! Old abbot! ……”

Shaking and shouting for a long time, the old abbot did not answer. In a hurry, a monk "pounced" on the ground and sprayed a mouthful of cold water on the old abbot's face. In an instant, the old abbot twitched violently like an electric touch, and was furious in his heart, and said secretly: "Which rabbit cub is this for me, and when I open my eyes, I will definitely reprimand him!" However, when he opened his eyelids, he couldn't see the guy spraying him with a sip of cold water. Helpless, he had no choice but to say weakly: "I...... I...... I have something big to ...... I'm going to tell you! In order to...... Later...... You will tell the 'Six Heroes of Shudong' again. Thousand...... Thousand...... Don't forget! ”

When the monks heard this, they looked at the old abbot sadly and nodded with tears in their eyes. However, it was at this moment that the old abbot closed his eyes again. In an instant, the monks knelt beside the old abbot, and the cries rang out. They confirmed that the old abbot had ascended to the Oriental glass world.

However, to the surprise of the monks, the old abbot with his eyes closed again said breathlessly: "I don't ...... No more! Appear...... Right now...... Only...... I can only tell ...... Tell...... You...... Guys, ...... Learn martial arts! …… Martial arts! ……”

The old abbot didn't seem to finish speaking, his head drooped, his mouth opened and closed, his eyes drooped, and he could no longer speak. At this time, the old abbot has indeed passed away, and it is no longer difficult to know the current world affairs, the twists and turns of the future, and the future Spring and Autumn Cause. How unbearable he was to leave, but helpless, out of his love for the Shaolin disciples, because he could no longer withstand the huge blow of the killing of the eighteen Arhats, he could only go with hatred. Although he still has a lot of words that he can't say, and a lot of things that he can't get done, he can only do that, and he can't see it! The old abbot passed away in this way. However, he was not able to inform the monks and then tell the 'Six Heroes of Shudong' that the big event was a mystery for thousands of years, and no one could guess it, and no one could find it. What he told the people was, "Learn martial arts!" Learn martial arts! Learn martial arts! "There are many secrets that I don't know how to die. Whether it is a Shaolin secret or a top secret of martial arts, perhaps only this old abbot who passed away like smoke is most qualified to know.

All of a sudden, the old abbot's words before his death made all the monks angry and unforgettable! Not bad! If they want to remember this bloody lesson, how can they let the Jianghu killers be at the mercy of them? Shaolin is famous all over the world for its martial arts, and they must remember what the old abbot said, continue to practice martial arts, and avenge the death of the thirteen Shaolin disciples. However, at this moment, it seems that they are using these tears and weeping to dissolve this great grief in their hearts. When the tears dry and the crying is gone, maybe all the sorrows of this life will be turned into the power of rebirth and rebirth, to expel the evil and evil in the world!

The night was already dark, and the west wind was still howling. The entire Crematorium of the Prison Tower is immersed in the light of a fire that is about to be extinguished.

Just when the monks in the audience were extremely sad, suddenly, a monk was ecstatic, and he saw the old abbot slowly open his eyes again - the old abbot was resurrected again!

However, the good times were fleeting, and the grief of the monks remained. Although the old abbot opened his eyes again, everyone knew in their hearts that this was the real secret of the old abbot's state of mind - not to be blind! Because, his words are not finished, and he has not lived enough in this world! I really want to live another 500 years!

At this moment, the old abbot's eyes were even bigger than before, and the black and white eyes made people shudder. His eyes no longer have the kindness of the past, and there is no sharpness of the past, as if they are full of hatred and resentment against the world. It was a pair of eyes of death, and it was intimidating. But his non-verbal eyes seemed to be worth a thousand words. The monks seem to understand a lot from this, and it is very likely that this is the Buddha's manifestation, the Buddha's gift. Therefore, they didn't want to close this double power (oath) for the old abbot to awaken the eyes of the human heart and the world, so they let him watch the thirteen Shaolin disciples and themselves slowly ascend to the "paradise of bliss"!

However, at this time, the old abbot's eyes full of grief and indignation were looking at the starry sky, as if looking for the "heaven" in his mind and the Western Elysium. But this is nothing more than a dead wish - are there any cars coming and going in "heaven"? Is there a Buddha Pure Land in the "Heaven" world? It's hard to believe! "Paradise" is probably an illusion that can never be found. These dreamy and empty realms can only exist in the dreams and fantasies of the world. It's unattainable, it's just intuition!

At this moment, a broomstick star crossed the sky, and it was galloping towards the western skyβ€”according to superstition, there was another calamity on earth! But how did they know that it was nothing more than a natural celestial phenomenon in the universe.

The broom star is gone! It's darker, it's even darker!

In the Shaolin Temple Prison Tower, the lights have been lit, and many monks are still standing in place, waiting silently!

It's dark, it's even darker.

The northwest whirlwind roared again, and the fire burned violently again!

The bones of the old abbot were buried in a sea of fire.

There is a poem in later generations that says: Participating in the world's total wandering spirit, there are reasons for misidentification and rumors.

It is the most skillful thing that is skillful, and the dazzling experience makes people confused.

Let's put down the scene of the crematorium of the prison tower, let's turn back and talk about how the "Six Heroes of Shudong" searched for the knights in brocade along the way.

It is said that since the resignation of "Qiyan Nantian Yunfei" and "Shudong Six Heroes", "Shudong Six Heroes" have figured out that a brocade knight they met has a strange way to go, and decided to follow along the way. All of a sudden, Ye Jinfeng and the other six people sometimes galloped along the way, and sometimes stopped to ask pedestrians on the side of the road. Before you know it, the sky is already dark.

However, at this moment, the "Six Heroes of Shudong" are slowly walking on a barren mountain range. Although it was a summer dusk, the northwest wind "swishing" behind them still made the six of them feel a sense of desolation and frustration in their hearts! They knew in their hearts that they had come from the east of Bashu Road, trekking through mountains and rivers, until they came to the outskirts of Zhengzhou, Henan Province, on the edge of the host road, but found that the customs and customs here were far from being as peaceful and beautiful as they imagined. What the six of them saw everywhere was beacon fires, cigarette sales, starvation, famine escape, and poverty...... How many so-called "peace and tranquility" can there be? For these chivalrous people who are worried about the country and the people, how can they not touch the scenery and be cold when they witness such a scene in the host world of the Central Plains all the way?

The six of them walked slowly on the hill, a chill sprouted, and the scenes they saw along the way flashed back to their eyes - "an old woman with a pale face and shabby clothes, holding a bamboo pole, holding a broken bowl in her hand, carrying a broken bamboo basket, followed by three skinny and unclothed children, begging along the street from house to house; Soon after, they saw the red gate of a rich and wealthy family, with red lanterns hanging high, dignitaries and dignitaries coming in and out, bustling and bustling; The so-called "Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road" can also be reflected in this summer dusk! They didn't go far before they saw the officials of the Yamen who were ordered to capture the brave soldiers, and the young men in the countryside who were running around hiding......"

However, the "Six Heroes of Shudong" remembered the scene in front of them at the moment, what could they do? They don't have the heart to do so much about these things along the way! There are many events that they are not used to, and they can only sigh away. What's more, their "Six Heroes of Shudong" traveled to the rivers and lakes this time, and the purpose was far from this! In the face of this situation, they only hope that the world will have a Ming monarch born and rule the world as soon as possible, and change the situation of war, killing, poverty, famine, and backwardness.

Gradually, the five horses slowed down, carefully treading through the rocky grass and potholes......

At this time, I saw Zhang Yunhai say to Ye Jinfeng: "Big brother! After this mountain, we will find an inn to rest, and we will go again tomorrow! ”

"Yes! Eldest brother! Sun Kexing, who was behind Zhang Yunhai, also agreed: "We haven't rested for another day. Although we can still hold on, how can this crotch mount stand it? ”

Hearing what the two brothers said, the "Flying Dragon" said, "It was not easy for us to find out the exact direction of the brocade guard. Don't miss this opportunity, we should chase it closely! ”

"That's right! We must not be dumped by the brocade guard! "Windwind" also agreed (Cheng): "If the fourth brother's flame horse can't stand it, let the fifth brother get on my horse!" ”
