The bell of the evening class struck and startled the birds in the forest near the Shaolin Temple, and flocks soared freely between the Songshan mountain cols in the afterglow of the sunset.

Ye Feng sat in the meditation room, staring blankly at the bowl of medicine that was still steaming on the table.

In the blink of an eye, he has been coming to Shaolin Temple for more than a year, what Master Lichen said is really good, after Master Renshan Yigong, the abbot of Shaolin, learned about his poisonous injury, he was merciful, and immediately agreed to let him stay in Shaolin to practice the Yijin Sutra.

There is only one thing, Shaolin Temple never stays with female guests, so they decided to let Ye Feng live in the temple, while Xie Zhenliang and Zhang Zhi escorted Cheng Nianzhen to find a farmer to live temporarily at the foot of the mountain, and came to the temple every day during the day to decoct medicine for Ye Feng to regulate the toxicity in the body. When the sun goes down, they return to the farmer's house below.

Now that they have left, the one on the table is Cheng Nianzhen's own medicine that has been boiled for a day.

But Ye Feng really didn't want to drink it.

I don't know what herbs are used to boil this medicinal juice, it is not only extremely bitter, but also smells unpleasant, every time I take the medicine, it is tantamount to torture for Ye Feng, it is really sad. However, this Cheng girl's medical skills are really good, taking this stinky medicinal juice and practicing the Yi Jin Sutra for a year, his internal strength has gradually recovered, and now he has recovered six or seven percent, and it is expected that the toxicity in the body has been almost resolved.

Speaking of the Yi Jin Sutra, after its practice, it is not the so-called magical and domineering internal strength method as rumored outside. In fact, it is a kind of exercise of the body and limbs in various strange postures, supplemented by the unique method of breathing and regular massage by Master Lichen with his internal cultivation and peculiar techniques, so as to regulate the internal breath of the meridians in the body, the speed of blood and qi circulation, etc., which is a kind of exercise that is of great benefit to those who practice internal strength. But to say that after practicing the Yijin Sutra, you can make great progress in internal strength and be invincible in the world, it is clearly nonsense.

After reading it for the past year, Ye Feng found that although the preface of this Yijin Sutra was written and created by the Bodhidharma Patriarch, there are a large number of Taoist terms in it, and even the word "Yijin" is from Taoist literature, not a vocabulary created by Buddhism. So its origin is indeed somewhat mysterious.

But none of this is important, the most important thing for Ye Feng is to drink the bowl of medicine in front of him.

Just as he was pinching his nose and bitter face, he was about to drink the stinky medicine in the bowl, the door opened, and a majestic old monk in a robe strode in.

Of course, Ye Feng recognized that this was the contemporary Shaolin abbot Master Renshan Yigong. It was the evening class, all the monks were chanting in the main hall, and the abbot of the hall actually came to his meditation room in person, which must be something important.

I didn't dare to slack off at the moment, drank the medicinal juice in one go, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Master Renshan waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be polite, and while sitting down on the chair, he asked, "Recently, the old man has been entangled in all kinds of things, and he has rarely asked, I don't know how Ye Gongzi's body is recovering?"

Ye Feng replied respectfully: "Thanks to the master's inquiry, my lower body is gradually recovering, and my martial arts have also recovered to seventy-seven eighty-eight, and I think the toxicity in the body has almost been resolved." ”

Master Renshan nodded: "Miss Cheng is the daughter of Cheng Sansi, the current divine doctor, and she has fulfilled the true inheritance of Cheng divine doctor, and under her conditioning, it must be so." ”

Ye Feng thanked and said: "Master Quanmeng is in charge, and he can live in your temple to practice the Yijin Sutra in Xia, and he will be able to heal and descend the mountain in a few months." ”

Master Renshan shook his head and said, "It's a pity that you don't have a few months left, and you will be on your way tomorrow." ”

Ye Feng couldn't help but wonder: "On the road, where are you going?"

Master Renshan took out a letter and handed it to Ye Feng: "This is a letter from Master Jing, it was just delivered in the evening." ”

Ye Feng took the letter, opened it and just read a few lines, and his face changed greatly.

Master Renshan asked with concern: "The person who sent the letter just told you to return to Beijing tomorrow, it seems that something major must have happened, what happened to Master Jing?"

Ye Feng put down the letter and said worriedly: "A strange case happened in Jingshi, and the emperor ordered my father to solve the case within a time limit. Now that the deadline has arrived, my father has been dismissed from his official position and imprisoned after being accused of failing to handle the case. ”

Ye Zhiqiu, the commander of the dignified brocade guard, the confidant of the current emperor Zhu Di, was actually dismissed from his post and imprisoned, and even Master Renshan couldn't help but be moved: "There is such a thing! What is Ye Gongzi's plan?"

Ye Feng said: "Pack up immediately and return to Beijing early tomorrow morning." ”

Master Renshan was silent, and said for a while: "You sit down, the old man has something to tell you." ”

Ye Feng sat down obediently, and he had great respect for the virtuous and kind monk in front of him: "If the master has any teachings, I will listen to them." ”

Master Renshan paused, as if thinking about how to speak: "Lao Wei is not from the Shaolin lineage, Ye Gongzi knows this, right?"

Ye Feng nodded. Master Insan is famous all over the world, and many people know about his deeds.

Master Renshan Yigong, a young monk and enlightenment, traveled everywhere, promoted Buddhism, and was very famous. In the sixteenth year of Hongwu, the forty-three-year-old master Renshan was ordered by Zhu Tong, the king of Jin at that time, to serve as the abbot of the famous temple Taiyuan Chongshan Temple at that time. Ten years later, because the abbot of Shaolin resigned from the position of abbot, Master Renshan was ordered by Zhu Li, the king of Zhou, to serve as the abbot of Shaolin, and it has been more than ten years.

And the so-called Shaolin lineage, legend has it that there was a monk named Xueting Fuyu Master at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, who unified the Shaolin monks who were divided into five factions at that time, and since then Caodong Zhengzong has become Shaolin orthodoxy. This Master Renshan is neither the lineage of Xueting Fuyu, nor even the Caodong faction, but became the abbot of Shaolin Temple because of the decree of King Zhou, which is unique in the history of Shaolin Temple.

Regardless of his political ambitions, Zhu Yi, the king of Zhou, was a man who loved medicine and was familiar with the divine doctor Cheng Sansi. It is said that when he was in Kaifeng, Henan was hit by disasters for many years, and many people died of hunger. Zhu Yi searched the local area, recorded the edible weeds and those that can be used for medicine one by one, with pictures and texts, and wrote the book "Materia Medica", which made great contributions to the relief of famine.

However, I have never heard of such a prince who is keen on Buddhism and cares about Buddhist monasteries, and why he ordered Master Renshan to be the abbot of Shaolin Temple, no one knows so far.

Master Renshan said slowly: "As one of the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin, the Yijin Sutra has always been a secret that has not been passed down in Shaolin, and Ye Gongzi can practice as an outsider, I am afraid that you are the first in a hundred years." ”

Ye Feng said gratefully: "Thank you master for making an exception, I am really grateful." ”

Master Renshan shook his head and said: "Although I am the abbot of Shaolin, because of my background, in fact, there are many things that I am not able to manage in the Shaolin Temple, and many people also have reservations about me. ”

Ye Feng understands this, he grew up in the house of the official eunuch since he was a child, and he is no stranger to the things of factions and factions in the court, but he didn't expect that the Shaolin Temple in this foreign place also has factional differences.

Master Renshan continued, "So it wasn't me who decided to let you practice the Yi Jin Sutra, and you don't have to thank me. As for why they agreed to your practice, it was because of one thing. ”

Ye Feng asked strangely, "What is it?"

Master Renshan slowly took out a piece of paper from his bosom and slowly unfolded it, Ye Feng saw a black shadow drawn on the paper, like a tumbling dragon ready to fly!
