Chapter 76 Expulsion from the Shaolin Temple
Ma Jiu saw that the hostage in his hand was actually ridiculing himself, and scolded: "You little rabbit cub, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will kill you in minutes!"
Ren Xiao glanced at the warrior monk who had stopped, and said to Ma Jiu: "Big brother, if you kill me, can those monks let you go?" Ma Jiu leaked a sinister smile and said: "You kid even dares to threaten me, now I really don't dare to kill you, but you don't want to push me into a hurry!" Ren Xiao advised: "Big brother, don't be angry, I'm not just going to discuss with you!"
Ma Jiu looked at Ren Xiao suspiciously, and asked, "What are you discussing?" Ren Xiao looked at the knife around his neck and said, "In this way, you let me go, and I will help you intercede with those monks!" Ma Jiu sneered: "I didn't expect that the hostages in my hands would dare to negotiate terms with me, and I, Ma Jiu, would also be embarrassed and thrown home today." Ren Xiao continued to instigate: "How about it, it's a good deal!" The knife in Ma Jiu's hand was hard, and the edge of the knife was already attached to Ren Xiao's skin, and said, "What if Lao Tzu doesn't agree?"
Ren Xiao showed a helpless expression and said, "Then you may be injured, and then continue to be hunted down by this group of monks!" Ma Jiu laughed after hearing Ren Xiao's words: "Haha......" Before the laughter was fully released, Ma Jiu suddenly felt that the steel knife in his hand was being moved out little by little.
Ma Jiu hurriedly looked down, only to see Ren Xiao grabbing the back of the knife with one hand and pulling it out. Ma Jiu tried to exert himself but found that it had no effect at all. After Ren Xiao pulled the knife open his neck, he grabbed Ma Jiu's shoulder with his right hand back, and pushed his waist back, Ma Jiu's whole person was thrown up, and then fell heavily in front of Ren Xiao. Ren Xiao threw away the steel knife in his hand, squatted on the ground, and looked at Ma Jiudao: "I said I would let you compromise a long time ago, but you didn't listen!"
The warrior monks on the side, and even Ma Jiu's minions were dumbfounded at this time, who would have thought that they would be hostages in the last second, and they would switch roles in the next second. Even the void and the vacuum almost burst out laughing. Vacuum clapped his hands and said, "The young man has two hits!
Ren Xiao pressed Ma Jiu to the ground, and Ma Jiu's subordinates saw that the boss had been subdued by someone else's move, and they instantly scattered. Vacuum was about to lead the warrior monks to chase, but was stopped by Dangkong and said: "Senior brother, don't chase it!" Vacuum looked at Dangkong and said: "Second senior brother, but the abbot let chase these robbers!" Dangkong said: "They are also forced by life to become robbers, and now that their leader has been arrested, presumably they will not do evil anymore, and they have to spare people and spare people!"
Ren Xiao saw everything in his eyes, admired the compassion of the disciples of the Shaolin Temple, and asked: "What did this guy do, you want to be unforgiving to him?" Ren Xiao nodded and said, "That's really a heinous crime, and it's a matter of dealing with refugees! ”
At this time, two warrior monks had already taken Ma Jiu from Ren Xiao and tied him up. Dangkong stepped forward and saluted Ren Xiao and said, "There is a benefactor to help the poor monk catch this wicked man! I don't know what the donor is doing in our Shaolin?"
Ren Xiao reported to his family and said: "I am Ren Xiao of Shanyangtang, and our Dean Qi has a letter for me to bring to Hongfang. Dangkong said: "It turned out to be a person from the Shanyang Tang, and I have long heard that the Shanyang Tang has been praised by the people of the world for helping orphans in the world, and it is an honor to see it today." Ren Xiao said politely: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Shaolin Temple has always treated people with courtesy from ancient times to the present, punished evil and promoted good, and made great contributions to Kuang Fu Justice, it is really a model in the rivers and lakes!"
Vacuum heard Ren Xiao praising Shaolin Temple, and said with a smile: "That's, the monks of our Shaolin Temple are all good people!" Seeing the vacuum, he was a little carried away and hurriedly said: "Don't be surprised, this is my third junior brother vacuum, although he is a little straightforward, but he is the kindest disciple of our Shaolin Temple." Ren Xiao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, besides, Master Vacuum didn't say anything wrong!" Vacuum Han smiled and scratched his head.
So when Kong took Ren Xiao to Hong Yizhang, and after explaining Ren Xiao's origin to Hongyi, Hongyi smiled and said: "If it is really a hero out of a young man, Ren Shi subdued Ma Jiu, a villain, as soon as he made a move, he is really a young hero!" Ren Xiao said modestly: "Master, don't tease the younger generation, these three-legged cat kung fu of mine are simply embroidered legs in front of Shaolin Temple, just now I was just lucky." After reading the letter, Hongyi said to Ren Xiao: "It turns out that your Dean Qi is planning to form an alliance with our Shaolin Temple to deal with these refugees together. Ren Xiao said: "Our Dean Qi will always mention Shaolin Temple, saying that Shaolin Temple has always been compassionate and cares about the poor people in the world, so he sent the younger generation to propose an alliance to the master." ”
Hongyi put away the letter and said: "Your Shanyangtang is also famous in the rivers and lakes, even if Dean Qi doesn't come to me, the poor monk will send someone to take the initiative to contact Dean Qi, since it is proposed now, then I will form an alliance with your Shanyangtang on behalf of Shaolin Temple to jointly relieve refugees." Ren Xiao arched his hand and said: "Master Hongyi really understands the righteousness, and the junior has thanked the master for Dean Qi here!"
In the evening, Ren Xiao helped the warrior monks of the Shaolin Temple to settle the refugees together. After that, Dangkong prepared a house for Ren Xiao and said: "The conditions of our Shaolin Temple are a little simpler, and I hope that Ren Shizhu can stay overnight." Ren Xiao looked at the simple room and said with a smile: "It's good to have a place to sleep, I'm not picky." Ren Xiao saw that Dangkong was full of trouble, so he asked more: "Master Dangkong, I see that you seem to have something in your heart, I don't know if you can say it, I can help you!" Dangkong hesitated for a moment, remembering the scene where Ren Xiao killed Ma Jiu in seconds today, and said: "Don't hide it from the donor, the poor monk does have something in his heart." ”
Ren Xiao made an inviting gesture and said, "You might as well go into the house for a while!" When the air did not shirk, he went directly into the house, and said: "I don't know what the owner of Ren thinks about the refugees?" Ren Xiao thought for a while and said: "The world is in chaos, robbers and bandits from all over the country have risen together, and there are countless people who oppress the people. Dangkong nodded and continued: "We only treat the symptoms but not the root cause of the relief of the people, and we cannot help these refugees at the root. Ren Xiao said thoughtfully: "Then according to your opinion, what should be done?"
Dangkong said angrily: "Since the capital can't govern these bandits, then we should let us punish the evil and eliminate the bullies for the people!" Ren Xiao listened to Dangkong's words, as if he was empowered: "What Master Dangkong said makes sense, since the capital city is not capable of punishing these villains, then it can be completely handled by us! Master Dangkong, what you said is so right, why don't you tell Master Hongyi directly?"
Dangkong sighed and said: "I don't want to say it, I just don't know how to open this mouth, our Shaolin Temple has never taken the initiative to stir up trouble, isn't it against the purpose of the Shaolin Temple if I do this?" Ren Xiao listened to Dangkong's doubts, and said: "Master Dangkong, your idea is indeed a good idea, and relieving the people is only a temporary predicament, as long as the refugees are still living in oppression, then they will never have a day." Since you don't know how to say it to Master Hongyi, then tomorrow I will propose this idea to Master Hongyi!"
When he clasped his hands together, he said to Ren Xiao: "Amitabha, that poor monk has thanked Ren Benefactor here first." If the abbot really agrees with this approach, then I will spare my life and purge all those robbers. Ren Xiao smiled: "And me! I will also do my best to help these refugees." ”
The next day, Ren Xiao told Hongyi the idea of the empty air word for word. Hongyi fell silent, and said for a long time: "The reason why our Shaolin Temple has been able to stand tall in the rivers and lakes for hundreds of years is that in addition to the compassion of the monks, the more important thing is that we never take the initiative to stir up trouble. Ren Xiao defended: "But isn't the Shaolin Temple also thinking about the common people in the world? Now that the people are in trouble, isn't the Shaolin Temple indifferent because they are afraid of setting themselves on fire?" Hongyi stopped talking, and then stood up and said: "Abbot, didn't you tell me that we have to deal with things from the root? ”
Hongyi looked at the sky, and the wrinkles on his face were written with vicissitudes. It's not that the old monk doesn't want to solve these bullies, but now the world is in turmoil, the rivers and lakes are turbulent, and all the major sects are mud bodhisattvas crossing the river and it is difficult to protect themselves, and Shaolin Temple has already spent a lot of energy to come forward to relieve these refugees. For the safety of Shaolin Temple, Hongyi did not dare to take this risk.
Seeing that Hongyi was still indifferent, he finally couldn't bear the depression in his heart, and stepped forward and said: "Abbot, if you are unwilling to help these refugees for the safety of Shaolin Temple, then I will leave Shaolin Temple today!" After saying this, the warrior monks present were all taken aback, and Niankong hurriedly reprimanded: "Dangkong, what are you talking nonsense? The abbot is also thinking about the overall situation!" Abbot, I understand your suffering, but at the same time, you have always taught us to have the people of the world in our hearts, and now that the people are in trouble, how can I sit idly by?"
Hongyi slowly opened his eyes, looked at Dangkong and said, "Dangkong, let me ask you, do you insist on helping those refugees clear the robbers?" Dangkong nodded firmly and said, "Whether as a monk or a common person, I can't stand the behavior of those villains bullying the weak." Hongyi knew that Dangkong had already made up his mind, so he said: "Okay, then I will announce that from today onwards, Dangkong will no longer be my disciple of Shaolin Temple, and it will have nothing to do with Shaolin Temple from now on!"
As soon as these words came out, all the people present were taken aback, and Niankong hurriedly said: "Abbot, he is just impulsive, you must not be angry with him!" ”
Even Ren Xiao said anxiously: "Master Hongyi, what are you doing here? Master Dangkong, he just made a suggestion!" Just when everyone was chattering and pleading in the air, a childish voice came into everyone's ears.
"I agree with the abbot's decision to expel the second senior brother!"
