Chapter 17: Solving the Theft

Let's say that Xuan really stays in the prison wall, in addition to looking at the scenery, he can only look at the scenery, no matter how good the scenery is, it will be boring to see too much.

I thought to myself, it's okay to be locked up in this prison for a few days, how can I stand such boredom after a long time, and I think that most of the people locked up here are extremely vicious people.

Could it be that Master Pudu is also a vicious man? No, I heard him say that he just wanted to stay here, maybe, it may be normal for a weirdo to have a little quirk.

And myself, am I also an extremely vicious person, what a great wrong, if I was really wronged to death, wouldn't it be too much of a loss, and I would be cheaper than those traitors.

I thought to myself, I must not die, I must not die, I must prove my innocence.

Thinking of this, he was a little relieved, so he began to practice the "Dragon Scroll Dafa", and a small ball of true qi swirled like a tornado in his palm, and he flung it outward, and disappeared before he could reach a few inches away.

It seemed that it was difficult to form without borrowing the true qi, so he picked up a small piece of stone and tried to "wrap" the tornado qi on the stone.

But it did not reach the state of "wrapping", but only the stone was in the middle of the tornado, far from reaching the state of delicate wrapping.

It seems that this skill is not so easy to cultivate, it really has to be like "Master" said, at least three years.

The Zen Martial Arts Conference was held as usual, and the day came to an end, and the competition was fierce. Unfortunately, Xuan Zhen finally failed to advance to this Zen Martial Arts Competition, and even his life was in danger.

Xuan Zhen's most regrettable thing in his heart is that he has failed his master's teachings for many years at the critical moment of the Zen Martial Arts Conference, and if he wins, it will be the best reward for his master.

But the matter has come to this point, and we can only survive this catastrophe first, and then make another plan. Perhaps, this is fate, as long as the heart is sunny, there will be a time to see the sun.

In the end, the list of "Little Four King Kongs" was newly released, which is the Xuji of Donglin Temple, Hengji of North Shaolin Temple, Changren of North Shaolin Temple, and the return of South Shaolin. And learn the corresponding exercises, and become the protector of Shaolin Temple.

The "Little Eighteen Arhats" are: Wenxin, Liu Wei, Xiuma, Yexin, Luona, Iwahara, Yaolong, Daosi, Bu Ren, Ryosuke, Jiese, Xuwei, Fukai, Yushan, Lingtai, Songxing, Futing, and Huichang;

After returning to the throne, they deeply practiced their corresponding Arhat exercises, and integrated into the Arhat Formation, becoming a solid force to protect the temple and defend the country.

On the last day, a short closing ceremony was held, the final list of winners was announced, and the abbot gave the ordination ceremony:

Win to the rigid position;

Heng Ji returns to the Vajra position;

Chang Ren returns to the strong Vajra position;

Return to the eternal vajra position;

After returning to the throne, the "Little Four King Kongs" and "Little Eighteen Arhats" will go down the mountain one after another for the final "rivers and lakes" test.

After the end of the Zen martial arts meeting, the entire Shaolin Temple can finally breathe a sigh of relief. This night, the patrol of Shaolin Temple was a little lax.

It is located in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, presided over by the abbot master, the two elders of the patriarch, the four great King Kongs, the master Jueyuan and other important monks, and the night patrol of the little monk head Jingyan, the Tibetan scripture pavilion monk Fuwei, and the detained Xuanzhen. There are also the first seats, hall masters, hall masters, etc.

At this time, the temple trial of the murder that occurred in Shaolin a few days ago, the abbot master, the patriarch and the two elders sat in front of the hall, and the rest of the monks sat on both sides of the hall, the four King Kongs were arranged on the left and right of the abbot, and there were monks guarding the door, and Jueyuan, Xuanzhen, Jingyan and Fuwei all stood in the center.

Looking at this situation, the temple trial has been going on for a long time.

I only heard Jueyuan speak: "It seems that no matter what Xuan Zhen says, you all think you are quibbling." Hmph, this is all a traitorous villain's frame-by, isn't this obvious? Jueyuan dares to vouch with his life, I will not kill the monk in vain, and I ask the senior brother to forgive him for his innocence. ”

Xuan Zhen was tied up by five flowers, and when he heard the master say this, he was very grateful, and he was about to say that the master didn't have to be like this, but he didn't look back, and only signaled with his left hand not to speak. Xuan Zhen had no choice but to swallow his words, and it seemed that the master and apprentice had a tacit understanding.

After hearing this, the abbot said: "Senior brother, rest assured, Shaolin Temple has always been merciful and enforces the law impartially, and will not wronged good people or indulge bad people." ”

"Today's temple trial is intended to invite the two patriarchs to be notarized witnesses, and secondly, to do discernment. ”

"Presumably, everyone here will understand the ins and outs of the incident, the bizarre changes in the middle are indeed incredible, the two sides insist on their own words, and only one side has conclusive evidence, and the other party flatly denies its guilt, falling into a place of blame, and asks the two elders of the patriarch to argue. ”

After the second elder returned the salute, Master Yiqing said: "The day before yesterday, Jue Yuanxian's nephew came to our second elder, and I heard the broken words about the Shaolin Temple having a rubbing version of the "Xingyun Xianshu", and we have already stated it, and we will explain it again today. ”

"Shaolin Temple does have a remnant of the "Nebula Ancestral Book", which records the content of the Nebula Ancestral Book. ”

After hearing this, the monks in the whole hall were shocked, and one of them was a patrol monk who was mixed in the crowd, but he was calm and abnormal, and he didn't pay attention to it, for fear that he couldn't see it.

Master Yiqing did not panic when he said this, what is recorded on this remnant is indeed the content of the "Historical Records" of the Nebula Ancestral Book, but it is not the content of the book "Nebula Ancestral Book", and those who are interested may greatly misunderstand it.

Master Yiqing continued: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, the old man said this, I am afraid that everyone will not believe it, so I just invited the Holy Master of Sanzang to come and ask the Holy Master to explain." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the door of the treasure hall opened without wind, and the holy master outside the hall came like a Buddha.

More than seven feet tall, fifty years old, holding the first copy of the Tripitaka in his left hand, holding a thousand-year-old Bodhi bead in his right hand, wearing a green lotus suit, gray beard and eyebrows, torch eyes and long nose, a sage style.

After he walked to the center of the main hall, all the monks gave a joint salute, and the holy master of Sanzang also returned the salute, and then said: "Master abbot, the second elder of the patriarch, the poor monk is polite." ”

Listen to its voice respectful and courteous, broad and thick, convincing. Then he said: ""Xingyun Xianshu" does have a handwritten remnant, in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, no one has asked for a hundred years, yesterday I heard the second elder of the patriarch mention, the poor monk specially found it to remove the ashes and dust, so as to be useful, at the moment stored in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion in the case, if necessary, the poor monk sent someone to take it. ”

Master Abbot replied: "No need, there is a holy master Lao, this remnant is a great matter, and it is also an important record remnant of the surviving Xingyun first book, and now the rivers and lakes are making a fuss about this book, I am afraid that there will be more rights and wrongs in the future, and please cremate this book after the holy master goes back, and announce it to the world, don't let the people in the rivers and lakes worry about it, for fear of recurring disputes between right and wrong." ”

After finishing speaking, I saw that the patrol monk who was a little strange in the hall just now quietly disappeared behind and disappeared without knowing where to go.

The abbot wants to destroy this remnant, there may be a certain reason, after all, the rivers and lakes are turbulent, unscrupulous means for the sake of interests, in order to avoid getting into trouble, it is also wise to cremate this remnant.

But this book also has important historical value, after all, it is a record of the first book of the Nebula, will the abbot really do this?

It turned out that after this strange patrol monk slipped out, he changed into a black suit, isn't this the man in black that night?

This person has been lurking in the Shaolin Temple since his disguise, and continues to inquire about the whereabouts of this book, and he will not give up on this book. After listening to the words of the monks, he went straight to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.

At this time, all the important monks were busy interrogating the murder case, how could they have the leisure to take care of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and the man in black also felt so, and his heart was full of joy.

In front of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, sure enough, there were no patrolling monks, a light body crossed the eaves of the first floor, and then jumped to the roof, carefully uncovered the tiles, took out a hole with a dagger, and poked down, the interior was dark and quiet.

Looking around the Pavilion again, there was no movement except for the slow movement of the lanterns of the patrol in the distance and the lights of the Good Pharmacy next to it.

He hit a fire fold, threw it into the scripture pavilion, saw the position, jumped into it lightly, and then picked up the fire fold, blew it gently, and it burned out like an oil lamp, and then the glimmer looked for it.

Finally found the place where the Holy Master of Sanzang said that he was lying on the desk, and sure enough, there was a book wrapped in sheepskin on the table.

Open the parchment, and there are a few words on the book: "Nebula Xianshu" handwritten remnants.

Suddenly, his heart was extremely excited, and the fire fold in his hand trembled slightly, and he was about to open the inner page, when he suddenly heard a heaven-shattering roar, and his soul was almost scared away, and the fire fold was also scared away, but the remnants of his hand were still clenched tightly.

Looking around in shock, he was surrounded by monks, a full eighteen people, it turned out to be the eighteen Arhats of Shaolin, it seemed that they had been prepared, but it was a trap.

Without waiting for everyone to react, he had already gathered his breath under his feet, quickly put the remnants into his chest pocket, threw a flying sword with one hand, and shot it into the roof beam, exerting light body kung fu, and with the power of the flying rope, he flew upwards in an instant.

Unexpectedly, under a strong net, he forced himself down. It turned out that when his attention was all on the remnants, he had quietly set up a net.

The upward line could not be achieved, so he had to go down, and at the same time he saw the weakest position and threw out several hidden weapons, seeing that the two monks dodged, revealing a flaw, he was about to break through, and just arrived at the gap, and suddenly made up for the two monks, it seems that this Arhat formation is worthy of its name, it is really leaky.

Helpless, I had to meet each other with short blades, and the hidden weapon short sword burst out in all directions, like three heads and six arms to deal with three Arhats at the same time, and it was slightly better, which shows that the skill is unfathomable.

The three of them were defeated, they were replaced, and three more were added, Linggong thought to himself, if he goes on like this, if he is not defeated, he will also exhaust his internal strength and die, and he needs to break through quickly.

Suddenly, Linggong rapidly increased his internal force, and his moves were twice as fast as before, but it was also extremely costly, and he was like a ghostly phantom in the middle of the eighteen Arhats, wanting to break through the formation.

It turned out that this Linggong was very clever, and deliberately hit the attack in one place by striking the east and creating an illusion.

When there was a vacancy behind him, he suddenly turned back and attacked again with a stronger internal force, and it worked.

He was about to break through, stabbed with a sword, an Arhat was invincible, his left shoulder was hit by a sword, he withdrew from the defeated battle, and saw that Linggong was about to jump out of the window and escape.

Suddenly, I felt that the top of my head was pressing down as if I was swallowing mountains and rivers, and I didn't dare to ignore it, so I had to forcibly parry, and before I got up, I was hit by the acupuncture points, and my whole body was numb, and I couldn't move.

As soon as he saw the man's face, it turned out to be a Persian monk, and he collapsed to the ground, only his two eyes were dripping and rolling, and his mouth could not move.

I thought: It must be the trap that this group of bald donkeys set for themselves just now, so careless, I really regret it.

This Linggong saw that he was tied up by several monks and sent to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and it was still those people just now, as if they were waiting for him quietly.

Fortunately, there were two monks to support him, otherwise he would have collapsed to the ground again.

I saw that the Persian monk just now appeared again, and after a few taps on his body, his limbs slowly regained consciousness.

It turned out that Master Hierro used the Yijin Jing exercises, which could easily control the direction of the body's meridians and acupuncture points, and let Linggong's body not obey the call.

I only heard the abbot say, "There is Patriarch Lauyero." ”

The master replied, "Abbot is polite, Amitabha. After saying that, he folded his hands in return. This Chinese language is really smooth, and there is no need for any Central Plains people.

This Linggong knew that the Persian monk's name was Hierro, and he stared at the Persian monk for a long time, and did not speak.

Until Master Huizhi shouted, "Who are you?

Linggong kept silent, trying not to say a word, so that everyone could not help it.

At this time, Jueyuan walked in front of him, glared at him angrily, and said shockingly: "You must have killed the disciples of our temple, and you also colluded with Fu Wei to blame my apprentices, and quickly recruited them to avoid the pain of flesh and skin." ”

Only then did Linggong know that the person in front of him was the master of the monk with good martial arts, so he fixed his eyes and looked at it, tilted his head again, and looked disdainful.

Jueyuan was very angry when he saw his attitude, and he raised his fist to beat him hard, but when the master saw this, he hurriedly shouted: "Jueyuan retreat." ”

Jueyuan was stopped, his face was displeased, but he was helpless.

At this time, Master Guan Zhi said: "Presumably this is Hui Ling, who is called 'Linggong' by the people of the rivers and lakes, the former head of the Sunflower Division of Dongchang, twenty years ago, he visited my Shaolin Temple as the head of the company, and I didn't expect to see each other in this way after twenty years, I don't know what the Linggong means?"

After hearing this, Linggong opened his mouth to speak, and replied: "Master Guanzhi has a good memory, I can't imagine that after so long, he still remembers it. ”

"The momentum of the East Factory, the power leans towards the government and the opposition, and I have coveted Shaolin for many years, and the old man dare not remember it. "Master Guan Zhi's words are polite on the surface, but they are actually mocking.

After hearing this, Linggong replied: "Hmph! Dongchang, no one has anything to do with Dongchang for a long time. ”

"It is rumored that Linggong suddenly fled from Dongchang, and then there was no news, I can't imagine that now he appeared in Shaolin Temple, gave birth to many rights and wrongs, killed my disciples, and stole my hidden gold pavilion, who was instructed by him?" Guan Zhi then asked.

"Hahaha, I Huiling is only loyal to myself, not instructed by anyone, as long as Lao Tzu is happy, I can do whatever I want. ”

"I said you bald asses, don't ask this or that, it's annoying. If you have the ability to go head-to-head with Lao Tzu, is it the work of your group of famous and decent people to design and frame you?

"You can't use too much to deal with a cunning person like you. Jueyuan returned indignantly.

At this time, the conscious abbot picked up the "Nebula Xianshu Handwritten Remnants" on the desk and walked to Linggong.

Linggong looked high when he saw the book, and then returned to normal.

Consciously said: "This remnant has been sealed in Shaolin for many years, and some rumors of the "Nebula Xianshu" have been recorded intermittently, and there is no word about the text of the "Nebula Xianshu", what do you want it to do. ”

"If Lingcheng Daguang visits Shaolin, don't say it's a look, even if it's a few days of borrowing, it's okay, why bother to break in. ”

After hearing this, Linggong was also skeptical: "Is this true?"

"Monks don't speak. "Consciously return.

"It's too late, why bother now. "Jue Yuan is not reluctant.

"How late? It seems that it is indeed a misunderstanding, and please ask the abbot master to be merciful, raise your noble hand, and give you compensation in the next day, can you visit another day?"

It seems that Linggong is really cunning, and he still does not admit to killing.

The self-conscious master ignored it and signaled to the monk head under the seat, and the monk shouted loudly: "Take Fuwei and Xuanzhen to the temple." ”

Fu Wei just entered the hall and saw Linggong, his heart was also shocked, and his chest was sweating, but he had to pretend to be calm, and walked to Linggong with Xuanzhen to stop, and he didn't dare to look at Linggong. However, as soon as Xuan Zhen came in, he stared at the black-clothed man who was beaten by the flower guard.

As soon as he stopped, he spoke: "Looking at this person's figure, it must be the man in black who tried to kill me that night, and now that he has been arrested, it seems that he can return his disciple's innocence." After speaking, Xuan Zhen's heart was relaxed.

Everyone didn't pay attention to it, and the abbot said, "Fu Wei, have you ever seen this person?" After speaking, he pointed to Linggong.

Suddenly asked, Fu Wei was even more weak-hearted, and he didn't look at Linggong, and hurriedly replied: "No, no, the disciple has never seen it." ”

Jue Yuan was very skeptical when he saw this, and reminded: "You should look at this person and then answer!"

Helpless, Fu Wei had no choice but to turn around and glance at Linggong, and still replied: "I really haven't seen it." ”

Everyone also felt that Fu Wei's state was a little abnormal, and Master Huizhi turned to Xuan Zhen and asked, "Have you ever seen this person?" After speaking, he pointed to Linggong.

Xuan Zhen replied truthfully: "That night, the man in black was masked, and the disciple was not sure that it was this person, but judging from his physical appearance, it was extremely similar. Moreover, Fu Wei was also present that night, and he was obviously lying. ”

When Fu Wei heard Xuan Zhen say this, he became even more flustered and hurriedly knelt down.

Frightened: "Abbot, don't listen to his bloody mouth, the disciple has never seen this person, that night he was going to steal the Hidden Scripture Pavilion and injure the disciple, the disciple was wronged!"

At this time, the head of the night patrol monk spoke: "Abbot, that night the disciple really only saw Master Fu Wei and Xuan Zhen fighting, and did not see the man in black. Indeed, the head of the monk told him what he had seen.

After hearing this, Jueyuan seemed to have doubts, and asked: "The night is so dark, and they are fighting in the Zenwu Terrace, do you confirm that the two people you see, one of them is Fu Wei, and the other is Xuan Zhen?"

The monk tilted his head and thought about it carefully, scratched his head, and just now he firmly believed in what he said, and he couldn't stand Jueyuan's question, and he was a little shaken.

Slightly helplessly replied: "Master Jueyuan asked, the disciple just thought about it carefully, Fu Wei was injured and was convinced, and the other monk did not fully see his face, just because he was masked, and from the point of view of his body size, it is no different from Xuanzhen, according to this, it should be Xuanzhen is right." ”

"Oh, why did it become Xuan Zhen again? Didn't you just say that it was Xuan Zhen?" Jue Yuan asked rhetorically.

"This, this... However, not far from the wing where Xuan Zhen was, a masked scarf and a dagger that killed the monk were found, and he was indeed injured, the same as the masked monk I saw, so it was inferred that it must be Xuan Zhen. ”

The monk's inference seemed reasonable, and everyone couldn't refute it for a while.

Master Huizhi spoke at this time: "Then how to explain that Hui Ling is a man in black, and if what Xuan Zhen said is true, there is indeed a man in black." ”

Master Huizhi said this thoughtfully, and then said unhurriedly: "What if the man in black is the monk? Maybe what Jingyan saw and said is also true, but it is not the same scene at the same time as what Xuanzhen saw?"

The more the monk listened, the more confused he became, and asked: "If the man in black is Hui Ling, that is to say, what the little monk saw was Fu Wei fighting with the man in black, not Xuan Zhen, then where is Xuan Zhen?"

Hui Zhi continued: "That is to say, Linggong pretended to be a monk, deliberately was injured by Fu Wei, and then pretended to escape, deliberately letting Jingyan see that the person who escaped was the person who was cut by sharp gravel. ”

Jueyuan continued: "In other words, Xuan Zhen has already been injured and fled, and Linggong and Fuwei are just deliberately acting in front of you, I dare to guarantee that Linggong will have the same scars on his body as Xuanzhen." ”

After speaking, he walked in front of Linggong and suddenly tore off Linggong's shirt, but there was no scar at all, and Jueyuan was very surprised.

Ling Gong laughed instead: "Stupid donkey, is your grandfather Ling Gong's chest good-looking?"

Jueyuan was helpless, let go, and ignored it.

Hui Zhi walked up to Linggong, covered his clothes, and asked, "Linggong has gone to such great lengths to put on a good show, which can be described as a failure, but why did he kill irrelevant people after that? ”

Linggong's eyes were still cold, and before he could speak, Fu Wei knelt down in front of Huizhi first, and cried: "The first master, the little monk was confused for a while, and he did something sorry for Shaolin, and begged the master to spare his life." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to Linggong and said, "It's him, he, he... Threatened the little monk to tell the gambling debt, the little monk was coerced and lured, only to make this big mistake, the little monk did not know this person, begged the master to spare his life. As he spoke, he fell to his knees and begged for mercy.

I saw Ling Gong sneering loudly, his whole body trembling, and everyone thought that he was pretending to be a posture after being exposed, and saw how he performed.

Unexpectedly, a fire thunder quietly appeared in his hand, and when he threw it lightly, a thick white smoke burst out, and someone shouted a bad word.

Hui Zhi ignored the fireworks and choked his nose, so he grabbed the direction where Linggong was, but he was empty, and when the smoke cleared slightly, there was only the rope that bound Linggong just now on the ground, and Linggong was gone.

When the monk saw it, he hurriedly shouted, blocked all the entrances and exits in the temple, and searched quickly.

Master Guan Zhi said at this time: "This is Dongying ninjutsu, no need to chase, as far as the old man knows, this is the fire escape technique in Dongying ninjutsu, the stunt of escape." ”

"It is a unique internal strength body method of ninjutsu, once used, such as a lightning phantom, it can be dozens of zhang away in an instant, and in the Central Plains, I am afraid that only the "Lingyun Gong" light body kung fu of Guigu can compete with it. ”

After hearing this, the abbot master said: "It seems that this Linggong has been invested in the Dongying Kingdom, we still have to be extremely careful, the people of Dongying are like robbers, and they have coveted the treasures and artifacts of the Central Plains for a long time. ”

The abbot continued: "Now that the matter is clear, for the time being, Fu Wei will be imprisoned in the prison wall, and Xuan Zhen will be acquitted. ”

But he did not abide by the precepts of the temple, broke into the forbidden place of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion at night, and went down the mountain with the Shaolin rookie tomorrow for a year. ”

After saying that, Xuan Zhen took the order, washed away the injustice, and then thanked the abbot and several masters, and then everyone dispersed.
