Episode 8: Counting is counting

The next morning, the bell rang, and all the monks gathered in the Daxiong Treasure Hall. After the three masters of Fashan, Fakong, and Fa Ming stood in separate positions, Fa Ming, after obtaining the permission of the abbot in charge, immediately informed the monks present of the strengthening of martial arts.

For the warrior monks of the Dharma Hall, practicing martial arts is commonplace, so they have no objection to this. What's more, his master Fa Ming is the first seat of the Dharma Hall, so he should practice more diligently.

However, the monks of the fire workshop expressed their incomprehension of the elders' decision, especially the emptiness. He thinks that the fire workshop is already complicated, and if he devotes most of his energy to practicing martial arts, he is afraid that he will delay the meals of the whole temple.

Fa Ming looked up at the emptiness and said to him: "Our Southern Shaolin Temple has been respected as the martial arts Taishan Beidou for more than 100 years, in addition to attaching importance to the study of scriptures and meditation, emphasizing practice, the more important point is the cultivation of martial arts.

If you don't practice hard, if the Shaolin Temple encounters a strong enemy, it will face the end of the temple being destroyed and people killed. Now it is an eventful autumn, although my Shaolin monks do not ask about secular affairs, but in the face of the righteousness of protecting the country and the people, we must not retreat. ”

The monks listened to Fa Ming's words and expressed their willingness to follow the rules of the temple. It is the so-called "order and prohibition". Fa Ming immediately selected four capable warrior monks as the leaders of each team, responsible for daily counting and checking martial arts and other matters.

After everything was set up, the first day of practice began. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, it is natural that the emptiness does not dare to slack off. At the end of the day, he was sweating and exhausted. Late at night, while the other monks were sleeping, he climbed the wall and jumped over the tree to a rockery behind the temple.

Upon arriving here, Kong Jing chirped three times as a "partridge", and there was a masked man

appeared in front of him with lightning speed. Kong Jing stepped forward and said to this person: "Back to the hall master, my subordinates have successfully infiltrated the temple in disguise. According to your orders, I wanted to get rid of the kid surnamed Fu, but when I was about to start, Fa Ming, a bald donkey, broke in. ”

After listening to the empty narration, the hall master waved his hand. He immediately said: "Fu Tianpeng's kid has a big life, hehe, let him live a few more days." At the moment, in addition to waiting for the opportunity to kill that kid, what you have to do now is to secretly infiltrate the Hidden Scripture Pavilion and steal the naval division deployment map there. ”

Seeing that the hall master had added another difficult task to himself, a difficult look appeared on his face.

The hall master observed the words and looks, and a pair of ringed leopard eyes showed two fierce lights. His right hand was raised, and he gathered his dantian and posed a "Yaksha patrol".

Then the hall master said viciously to the empty purity: "The task I have assigned to you, if you push back and do not do your best. Be careful, I'm killing you. "With that, a piece of bluestone was shattered."

Tang took the initiative to be true, and the emptiness naturally did not dare to regenerate dissent. In order not to arouse the suspicion of the monks, the hall master tiptoed, jumped into the dense forest with a "clear wind without a shadow", and then left quietly. "It is the praying mantis that catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind." The hall master and the empty purity are two people, thinking that they are doing it without knowing it. Where to think, their plans are all in Fu Tianpeng's control.

Now that the big fish have appeared, what Fu Tianpeng has to do is to put a long line to catch the big fish. Therefore, he and the three senior monks readjusted the plan, and the strategy was to "tighten inside and loosen outside". Fa Ming told Kong Jing that the matter of sending medicine to Fu Tianpeng these days was taken over by Kong Jue. In addition to completing the firewood work in the fire workshop, he also had to find time to go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to transcribe the scriptures. ”

At first, Kong Jing thought that Fa Ming didn't let him send the medicine because he was already aware of it, but when he heard with his own ears that Fa Ming asked him to go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to copy the scriptures. The corners of his mouth inadvertently revealed some snickering. The building near the water gets the moon first, so you don't have to sneak in. Hey, hey, hey. ”

In this way, after a few days of empty and clean finished the work in hand, he went to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to copy the Buddhist scriptures. The Scripture Pavilion is in charge of Master Fashan, but it is the empty show that specifically handles the affairs. The square table where the Buddhist scriptures are copied is close to the outer door, and the two iron doors in the middle are separated from the inside. The purpose of this is to prevent the candle from igniting the curl, and the second is to prevent theft.

Seeing the layout design of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, Kong Jing scolded fiercely in his heart: "The minds of these bald donkeys are as bright as their bald heads, if it is structured, where is it so easy to get it." I'm afraid there is another mystery in this. ”

In fact, just as Kong Jing thought, when Kong Xiu was cleaning inside the Scripture Pavilion, he could faintly hear the sound of the cabinet turning outside. This proves that there must be something extremely secret hidden inside.

In order to determine the specific location of the belongings, when they are free, they stick to the wall next to the iron gate and listen to the direction of the sound. When there is no chance to enter at the moment, the elimination method can reduce the consumption of unnecessary time and increase the probability of stealing the defense map.

One night, the empty net was still copying as usual. At this time, Sora ran in in a panic. When he entered the door, he shouted loudly: "Kong Xiu, you hurry up and go to the abbot's meditation room." Master has something to do with you. ”

Kong Xiu didn't have time to ask in detail, and the two of them ran out with Kong Jue. At this time, the two iron gates were wide open, and the entry and exit were unimpeded. Kong Jing sneered: "It's really hard to find a place to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them." If you don't dive in at this time, when will you stay? As soon as he spoke, he entered the Scripture Pavilion.

According to his prior judgment, the air purifier came to look for the naval division's defense map. He's a bit cunning indeed,

He scrutinized the edge of the pavilion to see what was causing its wear. In the library with the Sanskrit scriptures on the side, Kongjing found a clue. He found that the edges of the cabinet were not worn, and it was clear that the time that Kongxiu was cleaning and moving was not driven by force. Then there is only one answer, there is organ news here. ”

Thinking of this, the empty net began to move the scroll on it quickly. But the heavy book at the bottom didn't move. Kong Jing patted the cover, but the book did not react. He then knocked on the spine of the book again, and after only two "clicks", one of the white walls in front of him suddenly pulled out of the drawer.

The empty net rushed over, and a brocade box appeared on the wall. He opened the brocade box, and on it was written the words "Fujian Navy Division Deployment Map". Kong Jing was overjoyed, and hurriedly put the defense map into his sleeve, and now all he had to do was get rid of Fu Tianpeng. After doing this, he must escape from the Shaolin Temple.

Because the scroll was stolen, he was the first person to be suspected.

The morning bell has passed, and the night drum has risen again. When he came back, the monks of the fire workshop told him to hurry up and cook on the stove. Except for the busy fire workshop and people coming in and out, the rest of the temple is silent. He asked the little monk next to him what had happened, and the little monk told Kongjing: "I heard that General Li Bao, the general of the water division, has come to the temple. The abbot and other senior brothers were entertaining in the main hall. ”

Kong Jing has long heard of Li Bao, he is the right-hand man of Han Shizhong, the fourth general of Zhongxing. In that year, he broke the golden vulture in Quarry Rock, and became famous all over the world in the first war. This person doesn't come early, he doesn't come late. At this time, when I came to Shaolin Temple, I don't think he burned incense and made a wish. It must have come for the sailor's defense map.

Obviously, for empty purification, there is no chance if you don't start again. He simply came to "don't do it, don't stop it". Taking advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, Kong Jing quietly took out some medicinal powder from the small porcelain bottle in his arms. This is "eliminating tendons and bones". It can make the warrior monk's power disappear within eight hours, and he has no ability to resist. ”

After the plan was successful, he followed a few monks to carry the porridge bucket and vegetarian food to the dining room. Then he told Fashan about the situation. Fashan said to Li Bao: "Amitabha, it is better to meet by chance, by chance, if the general does not think that the food in the temple is bitter, he will have dinner with the old man." ”

General Li Bao hurriedly got up to salute, and he waved his hand and said, "Thanks to the master's kindness, I will not be polite." After General Li Bao finished speaking, he asked the deputy general around him to return to the camp first and do a good job in defense, while he himself stayed in the Shaolin Temple.

Although the dinner is simple, Master Fashan and General Li Bao have been old friends for many years, and there is nothing more pleasant than meeting old friends and chatting freely. So for other things, General Li Bao didn't pay attention to it.

At this moment, the empty purity hiding in the dark was like sitting on pins and needles, and he secretly scolded in his heart: "Why is the concentration of these bald donkeys so deep, could it be that my medicine has no effect?" ”

Just as he was thinking nonsense, Master Fashan's body shook twice, and he shouted, "It's not good. As soon as he finished speaking, he lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground. Then General Li Bao and all the monks present were spared, and they all fell into a coma.

When Kongjing saw the monks stumbling all over the temple, he was so happy that his eyebrows flew and danced. He went out of the temple and came to a tall rock, lit the fuse of a letterbox, and sent a signal to the sky. Soon, the hall master appeared in front of the empty purity again.

After meeting the hall master, Kongjing told him the ins and outs of his success. The hall master patted the empty shoulder and laughed, praising him for his ability to do things, and going back to give him a credit. After bending down again and again to thank him, he said to the hall master: "Hall master, what should the monks in the temple do? ”

The hall master sneered a few times and said to Kongjing: "You immediately inform the helpers of each ministry and ask them to bring the prisoner cart and ropes, and we will wipe out the monks." After Kongjing came down the mountain, he gathered a group of gangsters and pushed the prisoner cart to prepare to capture all the monks.

When he and the hall master saw the minions tying up the monks, the two of them laughed triumphantly. But where did they think that at this time, the three letter cannons rang out, and a deafening shout of killing came from the bottom of the mountain. At the same time, the monks, who were still sleeping in a groggy state, became as energetic as tigers.

Seeing everything in front of him, he was stunned. He pointed ahead and said to the hall master, "Hall master, this ...... This...... What's going on? The hall master was furious and slapped the empty net fiercely. He scolded loudly: "Idiot, can't you see that you have fallen for someone else's plan? ”

As the saying goes, two fists are invincible to four hands, and the hall master secretly slapped his palm on the empty back of his heart. Empty mouth spat blood, and one fell to the ground. The hall master planned to take advantage of this opportunity to escape, not wanting a handsome young man with a sword to block his way. This person is the young man Fu Tianpeng.
