Chapter Seventy-Four: Shaolin Disciples
Seeing Dangkong fall to the ground, Niankong said: "How can you win me if you are absent-minded?" Dangkong rubbed his chest, sat on the ground, and said: "Senior brother, when there is chaos today, shouldn't our Shaolin Temple do something?"
Niankong walked over and sat beside him and said, "Aren't we helping these refugees now?" Dangkong recalled what the abbot said today, and said: "Today the abbot said something to me, he said that if you want to completely solve the problem of refugees, you have to find the root of the matter!" Niankong looked at Dangkong, then changed his posture, back to back with Dangkong, looked at the starlight in the night sky and said: "Senior brother, do you remember when we were young when we trained together, what was the most sentence that the master said?"
"The bald head of the world is one family!" The two of them said in unison, and Niankong smiled and said, "Do you know what Master means by saying this?" Dangkong said: "One person's strength is limited after all, and if you want to accomplish great things, you have to gather everyone's strength." Niankong nodded and said, "Yes, how can we monks control the chaos in the world." Moreover, those sects on the rivers and lakes now can no longer speak the same as before. After a long time of leisure, everyone only cares about their own food and drink, who cares about the life and death of others. ”
After listening to Senior Brother's words, Dangkong said, "Isn't there a little way, at least contact those sects like us!" Niankong said: "Senior brother, why haven't you tried your idea, when the news of the comeback of the Silkworm Sect came, the abbot had already asked me to visit those sects that had been allied, but except for the Taoist and a few small sects, everyone avoided it. Dangkong's heart trembled, and he said: "Could it be that the rivers and lakes have really become so cold-blooded and ruthless? Dangkong stood up, looked at Haoyue and said: "I don't believe it, this world is really so ruthless, isn't what our Shaolin Temple is doing just to let those people know that there is still warmth in the world?"
Seeing that his junior brother was so persistent in his pursuit of light, Niankong was relieved and said, "I finally know now why I love you the most since I was a child! Your belief in justice cannot be compared with us senior brothers. In this living environment where everyone is at risk, you can still care about others. Senior brother, I can't do it. When Kong Kong saw that his values were recognized by his senior brother, he asked, "Senior brother, then what should I do next?" Niankong thought for a while, pointed to his chest and said, "I think, only you can answer this question yourself!"
The east is white, a new day has arrived, and more and more refugees are flocking to Artemisia Mountain. The monks of the Shaolin Temple are no longer busy. After Huikong divided the last bit of porridge in the bucket, he said to Niankong: "Senior brother, the porridge is gone again!" Niankong looked at the empty wooden barrel and said, "The kitchen is already stretched, and our granary is also bottoming out." Huikong looked at many other people looking at him pitifully, and said, "Senior brother, what should I do now?"
At this moment, a refugee stumbled up and shouted, "Oh no, no, the robbers are coming!" As soon as these words came out, the crowd instantly exploded like a pot, and everyone was scared and frightened. Seeing this, Niankong hurriedly comforted everyone: "Don't worry, as long as the monks of our Shaolin Temple are there, we won't let those robbers hurt you!" and turned to Huikong and said, "You go and report this to the abbot, I'll go down the mountain first!"
At the foot of the mountain, a bandit team of about 500 people was rushing up the mountain. Niankong ran into Dangkong again on the way down the mountain, and Dangkong said: "Senior brother, I've heard about it, what should I do now?" Niankong said: "Let's find a way to drag the robbers first, we can't let them go up the mountain to harm the people, and wait for the abbot to make a decision!" Dangkong nodded and went down the mountain with Niankong.
The old and the sick and the sick who were running slowly had been overtaken by the robbers, but the old robbers took up their swords without mercy, and all the children and women were taken captive. An old man moved forward with difficulty on crutches, and the robber leader slashed directly with a big knife in his hand. In an instant, the human head rolled, the blood flowed profusely, and the headless corpse fell to the ground in response. The leader of the robbers, wielding a bloody broadsword, shouted: "Brothers, attack the mountain, force the grain and rob the women!" A group of minions behind him shouted: "Kill! Anyway, the world is already in chaos, and no one can control us! Lawlessness is over!"
In the middle of a group of robbers like wolves, there are three inconspicuous people, these three people were robbed from the local prison by the robber leader, and it is precisely with the addition of these three people that this group of robbers dares to be so rampant, even Shaolin Temple dares to provoke. Just as the robbers were killing and looting, two monks suddenly appeared in front of them. When the robber leader saw that the two monks were weak, he shouted: "Monk, go and inform your abbot quickly, and ask him to quickly send a hundred catties of grain and a thousand taels of money! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will hit your Daxiong Treasure Hall and push it to the Buddha statue, so that your Shaolin Temple will disappear from the rivers and lakes from now on!"
Niankong looked at the rampant bandit leader, without the slightest fear, and said, "This benefactor, if you come to beg for food, we can discuss." If you want to make trouble on this Artemisia Mountain, then are you bringing fewer people?" The robber leader snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, your Shaolin Temple is no longer the Shaolin Temple of the past, but it is only by relying on the reputation accumulated over the past hundred years that it can stand in the rivers and lakes, and now Lao Tzu can casually step on the three words of Shaolin Temple under his feet!"
At this moment, the three inconspicuous minions among the robbers suddenly appeared in front of the bandit leader, and one of them closed his eyes tightly and blocked the air. When Kong was intercepted by the other party, he was even more furious, picked up the instep and kicked the other party's head, the man still had his eyes closed, but he caught Dangkong's leg with one hand, and then slowly opened his eyes.
There were no eyeballs in the pure white eye sockets, and he was shocked that he turned out to be a blind man! The bandit leader laughed behind him: "Cheng Blind, do a good job, kill this monk who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead!"
After receiving the order, Cheng Blind grabbed Dangkong's ankle with one hand, and raised his other hand high, ready to slash at Dangkong. When Kong closed his eyes, he secretly screamed, "It's over!"
Just when Dangkong was ready to die, suddenly there was a "boom" in his ears, and then he felt that his side was empty. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Cheng Blind had been blasted out. Turning his head to look again, he saw Niankong standing there with his hands folded, and a golden Buddha statue sitting on a lotus flower behind him. Niankong glared at the robber angrily and said, "The golden body turns into a Buddha!"
Seeing Cheng Blind being knocked to the ground, the robber leader hurriedly instructed the other two people: "Two-tailed scorpion, three-headed snake, you two give it to me!"
Hearing the robber's command, the two wicked men who had just come out of the prison looked at each other, the two-tailed scorpion held his hands on the ground, raised his two feet and stood upside down, and the two huge scorpion tails waved with their legs in the air, eager to try at Niankong. Not to be outdone, the three-headed snake raised its hands and shook its head, and a three-headed cobra spat snake letters at Niankong.
Niankong said to the empty in front of him: "Dangkong, get out of the way, let me meet them!" As soon as the front foot moved out of the way, the two-tailed scorpion rushed up, and two poisonous tail thorns pierced Niankong.
Niankong didn't dodge, dodge or move, and the golden Buddha behind him slapped it with a palm against the stinger. The twin-tailed scorpion only felt like it had hit a thick wall, and it was slapped back and fell to the ground. Seeing this, the three-headed snake saw the opportunity and launched an attack on Niankong. The same move was used on the three-headed snake, which only hit the eyes of Venus.
Seeing that the three hole cards under his hand were instantly defeated by the monk in front of him, the bandit leader's heart was dripping blood, and he scolded: "Three wastes, I thought you had a lot of ability, but I didn't expect to be killed with one move!" Before the words fell, the blind man Cheng just now suddenly appeared in front of Niankong, turned around and kicked Niankong in the face.
"Senior brother!" shouted at Niankong, who was kicked away. Cheng Blind stood in place and said, "What kind of golden body is Buddha, it's nothing more than that!" Seeing this, he jumped up and shouted: "Arhat subjugates demons!"
The two clenched fists glowed with golden light, and their muscles swelled instantly. The fists that were quickly swung out were like two submachine guns, and countless fists instantly hit Cheng Blind. Although Cheng Blind couldn't see with his eyes, his ears were extremely sensitive, and when he heard the movement, he hurriedly turned around and faced Dangkong, but Dangkong would no longer give him a chance to fight back.
Cheng Blind was crushed to the ground by the fast punch in the air, and the impact of the fist raised a cloud of dust. After a few moments, Dangkong withdrew his fist and jumped out of the circle waiting for the dust to clear. A breeze blew, and a lot of smoke and dust were blown away, and I saw that Cheng Blind had been embedded in the earth, and there was still blood on the corner of his mouth. When Kong saw that Cheng was blind, he was defeated by himself, and hurriedly went to see Niankong who was kicked away.
Dangkong helped Niankong up and said, "Senior brother, are you okay!" Niankong wiped the blood stains from the corner of his mouth and said: "This guy's speed and strength are too amazing, he was caught off guard, it seems that I have to slow down for a while, you be careful, I'm afraid the attack just now won't cause much damage to him!"
Cheng Blind got up from the ground, didn't pat the dust on his body, and said directly to Dangkong: "The kung fu of Shaolin Temple is really interesting! Let me continue to ask for advice." ”
Pulling off the stance, he put on a fighting posture and said, "Shaolin Eighteen Skills!"
Seeing this, Cheng Blind said: "Oh! It seems that you are not an ordinary Shaolin disciple, and the Shaolin Eighteen Skills have always only been passed on to those disciples whose cultivation and martial arts are beyond ordinary people. I'm lucky today, and I'm really lucky to be able to learn this kung fu!"
Dangkong said: "It's a pity, this may also be the last time you ask someone else for martial arts!"
