Chapter 103: Farewell to Shaolin
At dawn, Ye Feng and his party were ready to leave Shaolin Temple.
The abbot, Master Renshan Yigong, was deeply grateful to Ye Feng for their efforts in investigating a series of ** in Shaolin Temple this time, and personally sent them all the way to the outside of the mountain gate.
The warm autumn sun shines on the body in the early morning, making people feel a lazy and comfortable.
Ye Feng looked at Master Renshan beside him walking on the mountain road, the pale beard that drifted away in the mountain wind, and suddenly asked, "I don't know what the master is going to do with Master Kong?"
Master Renshan turned his head to look at the others around him, all of them were just looking at the beautiful scenery of Shaomuro Mountain in the autumn morning light, and they didn't notice the conversation between him and Ye Feng at all.
So Master Renshan lowered his voice and said: "Senior Brother Likong has been abolished martial arts, and now he is no different from ordinary people, thinking that he has lost the value of use for that Xuanyuan Gongzi now." Even though he had committed thousands of sins before, he had now repented and was willing to repent of his sins before the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha for the rest of his life. ”
So Lao Qu decided to let the elder brother spend the rest of his life in the cave in the back mountain, thinking about the wall, and studying the Buddhist scriptures every day, hoping to resolve these sins he had committed before. Amitabha!"
Master Renshan lowered his head and pronounced a Buddha horn, but Ye Feng on the side felt a little surprised.
Is such a punishment enough?
Before Master Kong became a monk and worshiped under Master Ziyan of Songting, he was known as "Living Yama" on the rivers and lakes, and he was a well-known giant bandit and thief, who killed people without calculation and had a lot of blood debts.
Let's just say that after he converted to Buddhism, he was still coerced by Xuanyuan Gongzi and became one of his ten halls of Yama, the king of Yama, those white bones in the secret cave of Huashan, I don't know how many died at his hands back then.
Even if he was coerced by others in the Huashan tragedy back then, it was not out of his own volition, and now he killed the innocent Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou in Shaolin Temple, and poisoned his senior brother Master Chen, these blood debts are all ironclad evidence and cannot be doubted.
However, now, such a bloody and evil man has only been abolished from his martial arts and lived in a stone cave to recuperate, how can such a so-called punishment comfort those resentful souls under the Nine Springs?
Ye Feng unconsciously suddenly remembered his friend, Tang Qiu. If Tang Qiu was still alive and knew that one of his father-killing enemies had been punished like this, would he be satisfied? Would he give up?
It's a pity that Tang Qiu is no longer here, the wicked people who killed his father have not yet been ambushed, and the Xuanyuan Gongzi who planned all the conspiracies has not yet unveiled his mystery, but Tang Qiu is no longer there.
Ye Feng unconsciously felt a wave of grief and indignation in his heart, which surged and collided in his chest.
As if seeing the indignant look on his face, Master Renshan lowered his head and sighed, and his voice was even lowered: "No matter what you say, Senior Brother Likong is also a disciple of Caodong Zen Buddhism, and he is the beloved disciple of the world-famous Master Ziyan of Songting. ”
"Although Lao Qu is now the abbot of Shaolin Temple, he is a foreign monk in the end, and he has to take care of many things, and he can't help it. For the sake of Shaolin's century-old reputation, please also ask Ye Gongzi to keep his mouth shut about this matter and not leak it. ”
Ye Feng nodded and agreed to Master Renshan.
Looking at the slightly helpless and tired expression of Master Renshan in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little awe-inspiring in his heart.
Although Master Renshan is indeed not from Shaolin, nor is he a disciple of Caodong Yizong, but his actions and dispositions are not as important as many Lin Temple and Caodong Zhengzong, and their reputation is considered everywhere.
Looking at Master Renshan's not very good face, Ye Feng suddenly thought of the Five Poison Sects in his body
Then he asked: "I don't know what happened to the poison in the master, but there is a way to remove it?"
A smile appeared on Master Renshan's face, and he glanced at Ye Feng with a grateful gaze: "Duolao Ye Gongzi is worried, the poison in the old man's body, Miss Cheng has left a prescription for the old man before, as long as he decoctions this prescription every day in the future, given time, it is expected that there will be no big problem." ”
Ye Feng nodded, and suddenly felt a lot more relieved. Miss Cheng's medical skills are the best for herself, and since she has already treated Master Renshan, it is expected that there will be no problems.
Walking and walking, there is the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple in front.
In the distance, I saw two figures walking up the stairs and coming towards me.
One of them was slender and well-mannered, while the other was short and fat, with a round body.
It is Ye Feng's two righteous brothers, Xie Zhenliang and Zhang Idiot Zhang Fat!
Before, the two of them stayed in Hangzhou City under the pretext of excuses, and did not come to Shaolin Temple with Ye Feng and them, but now they followed it by themselves.
Ye Feng was overjoyed when he saw them, and hurriedly waved loudly.
When the two righteous brothers saw Ye Feng and them, they were naturally overjoyed, and they quickened their pace to meet them.
As soon as they met, Ye Feng asked, "We were about to leave, why did you two come here now? If we were a little late, we would have missed it." ”
Zhang Fatzi said with a smile: "The matter over there in Hangzhou is over, so we rushed over day and night." Fortunately, I didn't miss you, so I didn't have to go into the temple. ”
Ye Feng knew that Zhang Fat Man was greedy and delicious, and when he had accompanied Ye Feng to practice the Yijin Sutra in Shaolin Temple before, he had a lot of complaints about the light diet in Shaolin Temple, and he was full of complaints, so he smiled and said: "What do you have to do in Hangzhou City? It's just that you are not used to the coarse tea and light food here, and you are greedy for the food in Hangzhou City, so you linger, right?"
His words were meant to be joking, but unexpectedly, Zhang Fatzi's face turned pale and he said: "This time you are wrong, we stay in Hangzhou City, we do have important things to do." ”
Ye Feng saw that he was serious, and couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, and asked, "What is the matter?"
Zhang Fatzi sold Guan Zi at this time, and said with a mysterious smile: "Everyone says that the fourth child is the smartest person in the world, you might as well guess it?"
Ye Feng saw that he was playing tricks, so he stopped paying attention to him, and turned around to say goodbye to Master Renshan.
Seeing that Ye Feng ignored him, Zhang Fatzi was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, like ants on a hot pot, and urged Ye Feng to guess quickly.
Xie Zhenliang was used to seeing the two of them arguing, and stood aside with a smile and did not speak.
Ye Feng shook his head at Zhang Fatzi Zhengse and said, "Don't guess, you like to talk about it or not, anyway, I'm not interested in your affairs in Hangzhou City at all." ”
Zhang Fatzi's face was pale: "You can't guess this time, what we are doing in Hangzhou City is not a romantic thing, but a great deed!"
Ye Feng didn't believe it, didn't answer, turned his head and walked forward on his own.
Zhang Fatzi saw that Ye Feng didn't care at all, and suddenly felt bored, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, then I'll tell you." Do you remember the unjust murder of Zhou Lao Tie and Zhou Xin that we heard when we were in Hangzhou City before?"
Ye Feng was stunned when he heard this, and his feet slowed down: "Are you talking about Lord Zhou Xinzhou, who was framed and killed by someone, nicknamed the cold-faced and cold-faced Lord Zhou?"
Zhang Fatzi said: "Apart from this Zhou Laotie, will there be anyone else? It is said that this Zhou Xin was framed by Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, saying that he was corrupt and perverted the law during his tenure in Zhejiang, bullying the local people and officials, and the one who took the initiative to testify against him was the Huang County Commander who was once his disciple. ”
Ye Feng nodded, he had heard of this matter, and he also felt extremely angry in his heart at that time, it was really rare to see an iron-faced and selfless, upright and honest official like Zhou Xin, to say that he was corrupt and perverted the law, it was really unconvincing.
Zhang Fatzi has
Some righteous indignation said: "To say that this Zhou Lao Tie is cold and hard, like a piece of cold iron without human feelings, I believe this, but to say that he is corrupt and perverts the law, it is clearly a false accusation! Not to mention that it is his former student who testifies against him, so he has lost his conscience and framed his teacher, and the people of Zhejiang all hate this Huangxian Decree to the core. ”
At this time, Zhang Fatzi's expression suddenly changed, and he said: "Fortunately, the sky has eyes, this Huang County Order, who lost his conscience and became an official by framing his teacher, was appointed as a state official, but on the way to his post, he encountered a group of robbers on the road, not only was he robbed of all his belongings, but even he himself was killed by the bandits, and his body was hung on a tree, exposing the corpse in the wilderness, and he was found only after he was stinky, which can be regarded as retribution." ”
Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhang Fatzi blankly and thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Those so-called bandits are the sergeants you seconded to Zhang Xin, the Marquis of Longping, are they pretending?"
Zhang Fatzi was also stunned, the expression on his face was as embarrassing as a child's prank but being caught red-handed, and asked, "You, how do you know?"
Ye Feng snorted from his nose: "You first used the excuse to catch up with Longping Marquis Zhang Xin and stayed in Hangzhou City, I don't know about you?
"Just now you falsely claimed that you had done a great deed, and then you talked about the sad end of the Huang County Commander who betrayed his teacher and framed Zhongliang, if I can't guess it, then I'm really a fool. ”
Zhang Fatzi smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "Yes, this matter is indeed what we did to borrow troops from Longping Marquis Zhang Xin, speaking of which Longping Marquis is really good, after we told him the truth about Zhou Laotie's unjust death, and then told him that we had inquired about the route of the Huang County Order, and they didn't say a word, and immediately lent us the guards around them, which is really interesting." ”
Ye Feng frowned and said: "This is also a good thing for you, you pretend to be bandits and rob and kill the officials of the imperial court, this is knowing the law and breaking the law! What is the difference between you doing things by unscrupulous means and traitors and villains like him?"
Zhang Fatzi didn't seem to expect Ye Feng to say this, his face changed, and he said with some annoyance: "In order to get promoted and make a fortune, this Huangxian Commander will do whatever it takes to frame his own teacher, even if such a scumbag becomes a governor, will he repent and change his mind? I'm afraid that it will bring disaster to the people." ”
"We are doing this only for the sake of the people. If we don't kill him, do you still expect the disaster from heaven to be retributed to him? Or did the court suddenly change its attitude, and the emperor suddenly rose up, rehabilitated Zhou Laotie, and killed this dog thing?"
"You go and inquire, after the people in Zhejiang heard about the fate of this Huangxian order, who did not rejoice, and who did not burn incense to worship the heavens? The people all said that God opened their eyes, and the wicked will eventually have evil retribution, is it wrong for us to do the right thing for heaven and eliminate harm for the people?"
Ye Feng lowered his head, a little speechless.
Zhang Fatzi is right, it is indeed a pity for a villain like Huang Xianling to die, and they are indeed doing this for the people in addition to a harm, and they are very happy.
To deal with such a wicked person, God's retribution cannot be counted on, what about the imperial court?
As long as there is a court and officials in the world, sooner or later there will be a traitor like Ji Gang in power, and with a traitor in power, there must be a villain like Huang Xianling who tends to be inflammatory, and does not hesitate to sell his conscience and soul.
In all dynasties, there has never been a shortage of such characters, but the traitors in power are often proud, and most of the people who really end up tragically are upright and loyal people like Zhou Xin.
However, since the dynasties, loyal and righteous people like Zhou Xin have never been afraid, have never hesitated, and have always followed one after another, perhaps this is what they are most worthy of people's respect and admiration.
Zhang Fatzi: Did they do anything wrong?
Ye Feng's heart was also a little confused for a while.
