Chapter 182: Gathering in Shaolin
In the early morning of the next day, the thunder and lightning that lasted all night, the heavy rain gradually stopped, and when Liu Xunyi and the others left the Tianlong Inn, it was already the sunrise of the clouds, and the sky was clear after the rain.
Walking on the mountain and forest trails, it is a warm spring day that is renewed and renewed, looking at the mountains and mountains, lush, thousands of rocks showing, and thousands of ravines contending for the stream. The pine trees on both sides of the mountain road are patted, the flowers and plants are strange, the warblers in the depths of the valley are dancing, and the butterflies are crazy about bees.
Liu Xunyi and his entourage breathed the pure fragrance of the earth, flowers and plants, and felt the vitality of the recovery of all things, which couldn't help but make people feel refreshed and smooth. They all sighed that this place is worthy of being a pure land of Buddhism, and it is indeed a picture of Tiankai, and spring is full of the world.
After walking for about two hours in the sheep intestine mountain road, the Shaolin Mountain Gate finally appeared in front of everyone.
At this moment, there are already two monks waiting outside the mountain gate, one old and one young, one tall and one short.
These two people, Liu Xunyi had seen them in the Lufu in Jiangnan. The elder is the master of the Shaolin Dharma Academy. The young one is the first master of the young generation of Shaolin, the little monk of Wuzen.
"The poor monk is ordered by the abbot to wait for the benefactors of the Pan family. As soon as he saw Liu Xunyi and the others, Yuankong quickly stepped forward and clasped his hands together, "Dare to ask which one is Pan Chuba's Pan Shizhu?"
"It's old age. Pan Chu first arrived, so he naturally didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly replied, "I'm waiting to come to disturb, how dare I bother the two monks to go out to correspond, it's really ashamed." ”
"Lord Pan Shi doesn't have to be polite, the abbot, the lord of Luofu and the lord of Qin have been waiting in the temple for a long time. Yuankong's gaze swept around the crowd, and when he saw Liu Xunyi's figure, he couldn't help but have a look of suspicion in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.
"The Mansion Master has arrived?" Murong Bai looked surprised and chuckled, "A few days ago, the Mansion Master sent me to take the first step from Luoyang City, but I didn't expect him to arrive first, one step ahead of me. ”
"Lord Luo arrived last night. Wu Chan explained, "The Lord of the Qin Mansion arrived in the early hours of this morning. ”
"Little master, how many people are here from the Qin family?" Pan Yuyin subconsciously asked.
I don't know if it was the last time I was frightened by Teng Qin'er in Jiangnan Lufu, as soon as Wu Chan heard the woman's voice, his face turned red, his eyes wanted to see, but he didn't dare to look, he slurred and vomited, and he stopped talking, as if he was extremely nervous.
Pan Yuyin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she saw the little monk's reaction so strange, and then she was amused by Wu Chan's funny appearance.
This smile made Wu Chan even more at a loss, and his cheeks were red, like a ripe apple.
"There were only more than ten people from the Qin family. Yuankong glanced at Wu Chan rather dissatisfied, as if to blame him for not being productive, and then spoke for him, "Traveling with the Lord of the Qin Mansion is also Lord Song of Jinjianwu. ”
"Song Yu?" Liu Xunyi raised his eyebrows, since he learned in the Western Regions that Song Yu was secretly colluding with the Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace, he had always been contemptuous of this person. can say goodbye to Jiangnan Lufu, and the two have never met again. Now that he is "bumping" in Shaolin, Liu Xunyi wants to see and know, and Song Yu wants to fight what the hell he wants this time.
"Where is the Mansion Master?" Murong Bai suddenly asked.
"I am in the Zen room of the back mountain, drinking tea with the abbot and the master of the Qin Mansion. Yuankong responded, turned his head to lead the way, and led everyone into Shaolin.
Shaolin Temple is worthy of being the ancestor of martial arts, and it is full of simple and dignified, solemn and solemn style.
In the temple, there is no Danying carved tree of Jiangnan Lufu, and the painting is exquisite. It is not like the jade dragon palace of the Tianshan Mountain, and the magnificence of the Zhu Pavilion and the green building. I can't find the artistic conception of the wind pavilion and moon pavilion and the cloud window of the fog pavilion in Jinjianwu.
In the Shaolin Temple, there is only a Zen room clean hall, a large and small Buddha hall, morning drums and dusk bells, and morning and evening refuge.
Looking around, it is more than a house, and the first star is Luo. Listen to the sound of Buddha and the sound of wooden fish. Cultivating martial arts is everywhere to simplify the complex, and when you enter the room, all of them are quiet and comfortable.
Whether it is a brick or tile, or a grass or a tree in the temple, it contains the aura of heaven and earth. This place does not seek to be gorgeous in appearance, but seeks natural charm. From the moment I stepped into the Shaolin Temple, there was no longer a lot of dust, a thousand years of great cause, only quiet and inactive, alone.
"No wonder people who see through the red dust want to take refuge in Buddhism, there is order here day and night, pure heart and few desires, no wine and no meat, no fight or robbery, it is really a good place to eat and wait for death......"
"Ahem!" Without waiting for Tang Cong to joke, Murong Bai suddenly coughed lightly twice, and glared at him coldly, instantly stopping Tang Cong's nonsense.
Walking all the way from the mountain gate to the back mountain, there are many monks encountered along the way. They either carried water and chopped wood, or swept the floor and washed vegetables, or practiced piling, or recited scriptures...... But what surprised Liu Xunyi and others the most was that when these monks saw their party, they all immediately stopped, got up one after another, and respectfully saluted Liu Xunyi and others with their hands folded.
Liu Xunyi sighed again and again: "Shaolin is worthy of being Shaolin, and the strict rules and precepts are really extraordinary. ”
After a while, Yuankong led everyone to the door of the meditation room.
Murong Bai instructed Xu Heng, Liao Chuan, Liao Hai, and Tang Cong to wait outside the door with Li Laohu. Pan Yun, Pan Yuyin, Pan Feng, and He Hu, accompanied by Wu Chan, went to the side room to rest. Only Liu Xunyi, Murong Bai, and Pan Chuba entered the meditation room with Yuankong.
The meditation room is quite large, but it is very empty. There are only a few futons, a stroke of the word "Zen", a square table, a few round stools, and that's it.
When Liu Xunyi and the others stepped into the Zen room, there were already several familiar figures in the room. Three of them, sitting at the square table, sipping tea in a leisurely manner. Three other people, each standing behind them, waited carefully.
The three people sitting are Luo Tianjin, the "King of Northern Sage", Qin Ming, the "head of the Qin family", and Master Xuanming, the "abbot of Shaolin".
Qin Ming is a heroic man with a golden appearance and a dragon appearance, about forty years old, tall and burly, with a large number of points and a point of fat, and a point minus a point is just right. The aspect has big ears, the contours are clear, the eyes are sparse, the sun is horned, the hooves are stopped, and the spirit is clear. Sitting there, heroic, with a clear air in his gestures, joy and anger are invisible, powerful but not angry, worthy of the name of "Badao".
Xuan is nearly eighty years old, his eyebrows are white, his eyebrows are kind, and he looks very approachable. Dressed in gray cloth monk's robes, his hands twist faded Buddha beads, extremely simple. But his spirit is Zhai Shuo, his eyes are bright and his heart is bright, and he has a bit of elegance and elegance, and he has the meaning of a fairy bone.
The three people standing behind them were Lin Fangda, Qin Da, and a monk with the word "fruit", Guoshan.
"Mansion Master!"
As soon as they saw Luo Tianjin, Murong Bai and Liu Xunyi hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Fangda also squeezed his eyes at Liu Xunyi, which could be regarded as saying hello.
Luo Tianjin nodded lightly, got up and walked in front of Pan Chuba, and said with a greeting: "Pan Baye, don't come to harm!"
"The blessing of the lord of Tolo, my old bones are quite tough. Haha......" When Pan Chuba saw Luo Tianjin coming, he was in a good mood, and he took the initiative to take Luo Tianjin's arm and laughed, "I haven't seen you for many years, and the old man is very worried about the lord of Luo's mansion." ”
"Thank you! Thank you!" Luo Tianjin smiled slightly, and then led him to Xuan Ming, and introduced, "Pan Baye, this is the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Master Xuan Ming. Since Pan Chuba and Qin Ming had already known each other, there was no need for Luo Tianjin to do anything else.
Just as Pan Chuba and Xuan Ming were greeting, Qin Ming slowly put down the teacup and asked casually: "Senior Pan, can you bring the 'Xuanshui Scroll'?" Qin Ming's voice was as his name suggested, and Huo Liang was transparent.
"Humph!"
Pan Chuba snorted unceremoniously, turned his eyes to Qin Ming, and asked, "You thief, you still have the face to mention the 'Xuanshui Scroll'? If you insult the prestige of the Qin family and do such a despicable and shameless thing, aren't you afraid that your ancestor Qin Gang will come to you to settle accounts?"
"Old thing, be careful when you speak!" Qin Da was furious and shot back unceremoniously, "Don't think that you can rely on the old and sell the old when you are old, if you dare to be disrespectful to my lord, I will let your old immortal never come back!"
"Presumptuous!" Lin Fangda was not to be outdone, and opened his mouth to choke. I saw him staring back at Qin Da with a fearless face, and scolded, "Qin Da, who the do you think you are?
"It's not Lao Tzu's right to speak, and you can't let this dog bark indiscriminately!" Qin said angrily.
"Do you want to scold again? Lao Tzu will cut you ...... now"
"It's you who scolds ......"
"Ahem!"
Faced with the sudden conflict and the two people who were full of foul language, Xuan Ming's face sank slightly, and when Guo Shan, who was standing behind him, saw this, he immediately coughed dryly twice, stopping Lin Fangda and Qin Da from scolding.
"Buddhism is pure, and I hope that the two donors will be calm and impatient, and they will not increase their karma. Guoshan reminded.
"Master, you also saw it just now, it is obviously Pan Chuba, an old immortal, who first insulted the master of my family......
"Shut up!" Without waiting for Qin Da to argue, Qin Ming suddenly snorted coldly, causing General Qin to swallow back the words raw.
Qin Ming's eyes were indifferent, staring at the sad and angry Pan Chuba, and said faintly: "Pan Baye, I respect you as a senior, and I am the same brother as my grandfather, so I don't want to worry too much about you." But everything must be evidence-based, even if you are a senior, you can't be a fool of yourself and spew blood. In today's war, you and I agreed ten years ago, and there was still the Lord of Luofu present to testify, why do you want to go back on your word today? On the contrary, you still call me despicable and shameless, and insult my ancestors?"
"Qin Ming, you don't pretend to be confused here!" Pan Chuba couldn't help but be angry as soon as he thought of what happened to the Pan family before, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Qin Ming, and said angrily, "I'm not talking about the ten-year covenant, but what you sent someone to Yingchuan secretly to do to my Pan family." ”
Qin Ming frowned, a look of suspicion suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he asked rhetorically, "What do you mean by this? I don't understand!"
"You sent people to Yingchuan, secretly colluded with the East Lake Gang, harmed my Pan family, took away my inheritance, killed my son, and you still dare to claim to be a husband who stands up to the sky, do you dare to do it?"
"What are you talking about?" Qin Da scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, and couldn't help but shout, "Are you cowardly? That's why you want to break the dirty water for us?
Seeing this, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but move his eyes, and a trace of hesitation gradually welled up in his heart. He saw that Qin Da's reaction was not like a deliberate prevarication, so he was even more suspicious.
Qin Ming waved his hand to stop Qin Da, who wanted to speak and stopped, and said: "There is the sky above, there is a thick earth below, and today there are Master Xuanming and the Lord of Luofu here, it can be said that the heaven and the earth are clear, and the sun and the moon are the mirror." Senior Pan, you have to think twice before you say anything, if you have no purpose, deliberately insult my reputation, don't blame me, who is a junior, for being ruthless. ”
"If you really don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears. Pan Chuba smiled angrily, nodded again and again, and said, "Do you want evidence? Okay, I'll show you the evidence, and see what else you have to say?"
Seeing that Pan Chu's eight words were chiseled, not like a fake, Qin Ming couldn't help but sink in his heart, and said suspiciously: "I would like to hear it in detail." ”
"Eighth Master Pan, is there any misunderstanding in this?" Luo Tianjin pretended to be an outsider and asked in a daze.
Pan Chuba waved his hand again and again, and said angrily: "The lord of Luofu doesn't have to intercede for him, my son must not die in vain!
After saying that, Pan Chuba turned to look outside the meditation room and shouted angrily: "Take Li Laohu, that dog thief, take him up!"
