Tianshui, good maintenance hall.

After Xinglin placed the wave of orphans who had just arrived today, he came to the hall of the Good Nest Hall. Rui Yang was looking through the list of newly arrived children, and when he saw Xinglin coming, he said, "The number of orphans has suddenly increased a lot recently, and we are almost overwhelmed!" Xinglin also looked embarrassed and said: "Suddenly such a big thing happened, and the number of orphans and refugees will naturally increase." Hopefully, things will be resolved before they get any worse. ”

At this time, Ren Xiao pulled a carriage back from outside, and after placing the carriage, he went straight to the hall. Ruiyang saw that Ren Xiao was back, so he said, "How is it?

Ren Xiao took a sip of water and said, "Now there are people everywhere who are panicking, and there are many fewer people in the market, so I ran a lot of places to buy what I needed." Dean Qi walked into the hall with his hands behind his back, and the three of them hurriedly got up to salute. Dean Qi said: "Before, we were completely self-sufficient in food, but now that the number of orphans has suddenly increased, we are indeed a little overwhelmed!" Xinglin sighed and said, "Alas! I hope history will not repeat itself!"

Dean Qi said: "The war that began thirty years ago lasted for ten years, and in those ten years, the whole world was a hell on earth, the people were displaced, and the people were struggling to make a living. The war is over, and now is it going backwards?"

After hearing this, Ren Xiao asked worriedly: "Isn't there any other solution?Are the guards of the capital helpless?" Xing Lin said: "I think they are also unable to protect themselves now! Once the four major legions are destroyed, they will be the last line of defense in the capital, and I heard that they have been broken into pieces and fought on their own, and it seems that the capital guards have also been forced to a dead end." ”

Rui Yang said: "Let's think about how to solve the children first!" Dean Qi said: "The only way now is to unite the same sects or groups as us and form a united front, so that we can better protect the people and even more people." Ren Xiao said: "Then what should we do now?"

Dean Qi said: "It's time for the children who went out to come back, now we need manpower, they are the only choice." Xinglin, you go and gather all the children who can still be contacted!" Ren Xiao said with a smile: "Dean Qi is really far-sighted! Let's go out and develop ourselves first, and then call it back when the Shanyang Church needs it, so that we will get the greatest support in terms of both human and material resources!" Dean Qi smiled: "You little hairy heads, it's time to do something for the Shanyang Church." ”

Rui Yang also smiled: "I think, if they knew that we needed them, they would all rush back non-stop!" Xinglin also echoed: "Yes! ”

Dean Qi said: "These are far from enough. Ren Xiao asked, "What else do you need?"

Dean Qi looked at Ren Xiao and said, "Artemisia Mountain in the north, where the Shaolin Temple is located, let's unite with them first." Ren Xiao said: "Okay! I'll go to Shaolin Temple tomorrow!" Dean Qi said again: "Master Hongyi, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, and I are old friends, I will write him a letter, you take it with you, I think his person must be helping those refugees now!"

Artemisia Mountain, Shaolin Temple.

Sure enough, as Dean Qi said, displaced refugees can be seen everywhere in the entire Artemisia Mountain. And the monks of the Shaolin Temple are doing everything they can to help these refugees. A warrior monk, with his left chest bare, carrying two buckets of freshly cooked porridge on his shoulders, rushes among the refugees. A voice suddenly came from the crowd, "Second Senior Brother, here!" A little monk was waving towards the warrior monk.

When the warrior monk saw this, he immediately ran to the little monk. The little monk helped the warrior monk unload the flat burden on his shoulders and said, "Second Senior Brother, there are too many refugees, and we can't handle them anymore." The warrior monk said: "The abbot is already thinking of a way, now the world is in chaos, this is also a matter of no way, our Shaolin Temple has always been compassionate, how can we stand by and watch these refugees." ”

While the warrior monk and the little monk were chatting, the refugees here were already fighting for a bowl of porridge. Five sturdy men gathered two buckets of porridge in the middle and said to the other refugees: "If you want to eat porridge, give me money, or you will starve to death!"

The other refugees around were all women and old women, looking at this group of bullies and daring to be angry. A three- or five-year-old child said to his mother, "Mother, I'm hungry!" His mother touched all over her body and found only a penny, and said to the bully: "Big brother, I only have so much money on me, so you can give the child a little food!"

The bully took the money from the woman's hand, put it in his pocket, and said, "It's too little, it's not enough, it's not enough! Saying that, he stepped forward to beg the bully, who looked at the woman at her feet, raised her chin, showed a lewd face, and said: "No money, it's not impossible, as long as you can serve our brothers well, not to mention your children, you can also eat and clothe warm." When the woman saw that these bullies were really scoundrels, she struggled and said, "You beasts, you beasts are not as good as beasts!"

When the bully saw that the woman was scolding herself, he grabbed the woman's arm and said: "You stinky woman, don't toast and don't eat and drink, Lao Tzu is polite to you......" Before the words fell, I saw that the bully suddenly flew out a few feet away, lay on the ground and fainted. The other bullies were taken aback, and when they looked at it, they saw the warrior monk just now clasping his hands together and saying, "You scum, you dare to do anything wrong in Shaolin Temple!"

Seeing this, the other four bullies said viciously: "Now the whole world is in chaos, and we are just looking for a way to survive, the law of survival is the law of survival in this world, where did we do wrong." The warrior monk said: "Amitabha, stubborn children, obsessed, I will give birth to you bullies for the world!"

After speaking, the warrior monk rushed up with an arrow step, lifted a strong man with one hand, and was about to throw it out, when an old man's voice came from behind him, "When it is empty, don't be reckless!"

The warrior monk, who was called the void, turned his head to look and saw Hongfang Abbot and several masters of the Shaolin Temple standing there. Dangkong didn't let go of the bully in his hand, and said to Hong: "Abbot, not to mention that a few of their bullies are dominating food, they also want to rob the people's daughters." It's better to get rid of this kind of bad guy as soon as possible, so as not to do anything wrong in the future. Hongyi: "When empty, you must put him down first, and I will explain the reason for you." ”

When Kong didn't dare to disobey the abbot's words, he threw the bully in his hand to the ground. Hongyi: "Dangkong, let me ask you, what caused their behavior today?" Dangkong said: "Back to the abbot's words, it is because the world is turbulent and the situation is chaotic. Hongyi continued to ask: "Then what is the reason why the originally peaceful world has become so turbulent?" When Kong was dumbfounded by the abbot's question, Hongyi: "Everything has a reason, and if you want to solve things, you have to deal with it fundamentally." In this way, you can cure the root cause, and your recklessness will only make more people go to the path of the strong to eat. ”

When he put his hands together, he bowed to the abbot and said, "Disciple follow the abbot's teachings!" The little monk looked at a few trembling bullies and asked, "Abbot, what about these people?"

Hongyi turned around and said, "People are not saints and sages, and they are forced to get rid of this next time, and bypass them for the time being." ”

After watching the abbot leave, he kicked the bully next to him and said: "Today is for the sake of the abbot's face, I spared you first, and let me see it next time, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't save you." Several bullies knelt on the ground and hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you for the mercy of the master's subordinates, I won't dare to wait any longer!"

The little monk pointed to the two buckets of porridge on the ground and said, "Go, distribute these porridges to the old people and children first, and you can only eat the rest, and if you don't have them, you will be hungry today." Several bullies hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, let's go." ”

Seeing a few strong men distributing porridge to everyone, he was relieved. The little monk said: "Second Senior Brother, you said that the abbot spared them like this, can they really know their mistakes and can they change them?" Dangkong looked at the poor refugees around him and said: "No matter at any time, you must believe the abbot's words, what he said must be right, although I am not willing to let them go like this, but there is a sentence that the abbot said is very right, and the matter must be fundamentally solved." The little monk nodded. Dangkong said: "Huikong, you are watching them here, if they dare to do anything wrong, tell me, I will not spare them." ”

Huikong said: "Second Senior Brother, you can rest assured! They are talking about you now, and I am afraid that they will not dare to mess around again." Dangkong touched Huikong's head and said, "I hope so, I'll go pick up the food first, and I'll leave it to you here." ”

At night, the refugees who had fled in Artemisia Mountain found a suitable place to sleep on the spot. The bustling Artemisia Mountain during the day had quieted down at this time, and there were only a few snorings from time to time.

In the Shaolin Temple, all the monks also slept. Dangkong couldn't sleep for a long time because he had been thinking about Master Hongyi's words in his mind. After tossing and turning, he turned over and got up, and the senior brother on the side was awakened and asked, "Dangkong, why don't you sleep so late?" Dangkong got out of bed and got dressed and said, "Senior brother, you go to sleep first! I'll go out and practice for a while." After saying that, he walked out of the wing.

As the senior brother of Shaolin Temple, Niankong sensed that his junior brother had something in his heart, so he also turned over and got up. Followed.

When Kong found a place where no one was around, he used his fists and feet, and his moves were both rigid and soft, and the tiger was vigorous. Seeing the melancholy face of his junior brother, Niankong came over and said, "I haven't studied with you for a long time!

After speaking, he slashed at Dangkong with his palm, and when he waved his move to block: "Senior brother, then I will be offended!" After speaking, he also waved his fist at Niankong.

Under the moonlight, the two disciples of Shaolin Temple are discussing in the open space, as if the two golden arhats are consulting each other, chanting empty moves calmly and old-fashioned, but every time they encounter a crisis, they can always be skillfully resolved. When the empty fist technique is dexterous and changeable, it can often be taken by surprise when attacking. After the two of you and I dismantled each other for forty or fifty moves, Niankong grabbed the defensive loophole of Dangkong and slapped it on Dangkong's chest with one palm.
