Volume 1 Yu Chudu Chapter 23 The Hero's Feast
Just when everyone was talking, the door of Mokko Temple opened slightly. I saw a little monk walk out, stand on the stone steps and salute everyone: "Heroes, please hold my family." After saying that, he bowed and stood aside.
Zhou Zihuan said in a loud voice: "Brothers, everyone follow me and Gang Master Liu into the temple to open your eyes. After speaking, he entered the temple side by side with Liu Shili, and everyone behind him followed into the temple.
The building of this temple is very wide, and as soon as you enter the temple gate, you will see a Buddhist shrine, like an entrance. I went around to the back, but I saw that the courtyard was open and open, and from time to time there were birds fluttering and falling on the ground to feed. Directly behind the courtyard is a row of red houses for the monks of the monastery, and many other houses in the northeast of the courtyard are places for visitors. Behind the red house is an open space, with various weapons on both sides, which is obviously a martial arts training school. There is a wooden building in the southwest corner of the martial arts training ground, which is divided into two floors, and the abbot of the temple and the four protectors of the Dharma live in the middle. Behind the wooden building is a vegetable garden, at this time there are only a few sparse green shoots, and there are no vegetables and fruits.
Everyone entered the temple gate, bypassed the Buddhist shrine, and came to the courtyard. I saw that dozens of monks were already waiting here, and one of them gave a salute to everyone and said in a clear voice: "Heroes from all walks of life appreciate the light, and our temple is really honored." Everyone comes from afar, and they can't help but be tired. And first rest in the guest room of our temple for a day or two, and then hold a hero banquet after the heroes of the world have arrived. At that time, the abbot of the temple will discuss with everyone the countermeasures to dispose of the treasure of the king of Yue. Come with me, everybody. After speaking, he took everyone to the row of houses in the northeast of the courtyard and arranged them properly.
Early in the morning of the second day, the Zhike Pavilion outside the Mokun Temple was already overcrowded. There are people from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes, including Ma Debiao, the leader of the Yellow River Gang in Western Jinxi, Hu Sangun, the big boss of the Yanmen Iron Gun Society, and dozens of people led by him, and Wu Qingfeng and Zhao Tianlei among the people in the pavilion. The two of them had arrived here today because they had hurried all the way. After everyone entered the temple, under the leadership of the monk who knew the guest, they went to rest in the room as usual and waited for the rest of the heroes to arrive.
In the afternoon of that day, I suddenly saw a fast horse galloping towards me and stopped outside the temple. Immediately, that person was majestic and heroic, it was Chu Luoyan.
Seeing that the monk was extraordinary, he was so busy that he led the horse and invited Chu Luoyan to enter the temple.
In the evening, another group of people came outside the temple. One of the carriages was in front, followed by a dozen masked men on horseback. The man sitting in the carriage was Nannu. And Yu Wendi was also masked and mixed in with more than a dozen people.
The monk greeted him and gave a salute, and was about to speak, only to see everyone get off the horse and enter the temple gate with Nian Nu in their arms. The monk hurriedly chased after him from behind, and after explaining the reason, he led the group to the meeting room to rest.
After another two days, the number of people who came to the banquet at the temple gradually decreased. All those who can come to the banquet within a radius of 100 miles have come, and all the houses in the temple are full of people from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes, totaling more than 1,000 people.
By the afternoon of the fifth day, the heroes of the temple received a notice that they would have a big feast tomorrow.
In the early morning of the next day, the heroes were invited to the martial arts training school behind the house. There were about 100 tables and chairs already set up in the school grounds, and each table contained several seasonal fruits and vegetables. The heroes entered and sat down.
After the half-pillar incense, I saw a middle-aged monk walking to the middle of the group and said loudly: "All the colleagues in the rivers and lakes went to the grand event, and the temple is honored." Today, the abbot instructed the poor monks to entertain all their friends. As he spoke, he saw a group of young monks walking into the venue with many wooden barrels in their hands, taking out all kinds of delicacies in the barrels and placing them on each table one by one.
The middle-aged monk continued, "Enjoy, everyone." The abbot of the monastery, the Dharma Destroyer Ambassador, is meditating in his room and will come out to meet with you later. The heroes didn't talk to anyone, so they just ate and drank by themselves.
After a while, I saw a young monk hurrying over and muttering a few words to the middle-aged monk. The middle-aged monk said to the group of heroes: "Friends, the abbot of this temple has temporarily started to meditate, and he needs to consult with several Dharma protectors. I will meet with you when I have finished reading it. The presiding master specially instructed the poor monks to entertain the heroes. ”
When the heroes heard this, there was a lot of discussion. Only one person in the crowd shouted: "Although the Mokun Temple is a famous family in the rivers and lakes, the abbot monk is so pushing, it is inevitable that it will be too big." "The person who spoke was none other than Zhou Zihuan, the deputy leader of the Black Wind Gang. As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly fell silent, which then triggered more enthusiastic discussions. Liu Shili, the helper, saw that his words aroused heated discussion among everyone, so he stopped him with his eyes.
The middle-aged monk didn't think he was angry when he heard this, and smiled at everyone: "The abbot master has always been obsessed with Zen machines, and he usually has witty words to explain the Tao. Today, since we have occasional Zen thoughts, we must understand them in detail. I ask for your forgiveness for any neglect. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, another monk walked up to him and whispered to the middle-aged monk for a while. The middle-aged monk's face was slight, and he said after a while: "In accordance with the decree of the abbot of this temple, a proverb is now announced." Heroes of the world who can comprehend the Zen machine can enter the abbot's meditation room to share the secret of the treasure of the king of Yue. If you can't answer, there is no way to prevent it, and the temple will have other small gifts. ”
As soon as these words came out, the group suddenly became noisy. Especially Zhou Zihuan and others, they all scolded the evil deeds of Mokun Temple. There are even a few rough men who have already gotten up and are ready to leave.
At this time, I suddenly heard a person laughing and said: "I have heard that Mokun Temple is the largest temple in Hebei, and the abbot of the temple is a monk who is admired by everyone. Today, the heroes of the world gather here at the invitation of the master of law extermination. Now that you're here, why not follow the locals. What's more, those who speak to Zen machines are just game ears. It is better to do this, if someone has deep wisdom roots and enjoys the secret of the treasure of the king of Yue, he must say it in public. It is his business for the Dharma Exterminator to share secrets with others, and it is his business for that person to say that he is with others. At that time, the Dharma Destroying Master will not be able to stop it. Heroes, how good is that?"
After listening to this speech, everyone felt reasonable. I couldn't help but look at the man who spoke. I saw that it was a delicate girl, with shaved shoulders and bee waist, and a handsome appearance. Everyone thought that such a delicate and graceful girl could say such reasonable and measured words, and they couldn't help but look at her blankly. This girl is Nienu.
The middle-aged monk said, "What this girl said is extremely true. If someone can comprehend the Zen machine, then it is his business to reveal the secret of the treasure of King Yue that he has obtained. The temple does not interfere. ”
Seeing this, the heroes had no choice but to give up.
The middle-aged monk said: "Since there are no more objections, let's start announcing the confessions." Listen carefully. As he spoke, he took a step forward, took a breath, and said loudly: "Plant the green seedlings all over the field, and look down to see the sky in the water." The six pure roots are the way, and the original regression is forward. ”
Yin Ba asked: "Who can comprehend the wisdom of Zen in the world, can stand up and answer." The answer given by you will be sent back to the abbot's room in time, and the one who gets the abbot's nod is the winner. ”
After listening to this, the heroes all silently recited those few words. Some of them stood up and replied with a smile, thinking that they would be shocked, but they were laughed at by everyone, so they had to sit down.
Yu Wendi pondered the words, and the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, and there seemed to be a very strong evil aura in it. On the surface, it looks indifferent, but in fact, it contains a fierce and unruly atmosphere that stands out from the crowd and looks down on the world.
