Chapter Seventy-Four: The Enemy Meets

The old monk said: "Xiao Jushi is fully focused on the martial arts classics, and he has no distractions, so he naturally can't see the old monk." I remember that the second time the layman came to the pavilion to borrow the pavilion, it was a book of 'Prajna Palm Method'. At that time, the old monk was worried that the layman's mind was impure and he would fall deeper and deeper, and his heart was quite unbearable, so he put a 'Lotus Sutra' and a 'Miscellaneous Ahama Sutra' in the place where the layman habitually took books. I only hope that the layman can borrow it and study and understand it. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jushi was obsessed with martial arts, but he ignored the authentic Buddhism that was very beneficial. He threw these two scriptures aside and found a copy of the 'Wand Method', but he was overjoyed. Alas, the world is addicted to the sea of suffering, but I don't know when I will be able to turn back?"

Xiao Yuanshan listened to him talk more and more in detail, as if he had seen it with his own eyes that day, and he had already believed it in his heart.

"It's a pity, it's a pity. The sweeping monk sighed: "It's a pity that the two laymen are in great danger, but they don't know it. ”

Murong Bo sneered and said, "The biggest danger is that the hands of the noble sect are in danger, and they will be killed by the high monks. What other dangers could there be?"

Xu Yang said with a smile: "The master is kind-hearted, so naturally he will not harm the two of them." It's just that there are some debts, but they always have to be repaid. Shao * Gong is originally derived from Buddhism, and the main purpose of Buddhism's practice is to strengthen the body, and if necessary, you can rely on martial arts to protect the Dharma and subdue demons. Therefore, when Patriarch Bodhidharma created Shao*gong, his original intention was that no matter what martial arts he practiced, he had to have compassion and benevolence in his heart. If you don't take Buddhism as your foundation, like the two of you, you will definitely hurt yourself when you practice martial arts. The deeper you practice kung fu, the more serious your injuries will be. If what you practice is just outer kung fu, then that's fine, and it will do you little harm. But what the two of them have learned is a superior martial arts, whether it is the 'Flower Finger' or the 'Demon Fighting Method', without the protection of the Dharma, it will be very harmful to the two of them!"

"Alarmist!" Murong Bo said angrily: "Now that the two of us have been arrested, what good is it to use such words to deceive us?"

At this time, a long howl in the distance shook the birds in the Shaolin Temple.

The internal force was long, and this long howl resounded through the sky all the time, until the person who made the voice ran to his eyes, and Xu Yang saw that this person was Qiao Feng.

"Big brother, have you come in and your skills have grown again?" Xu Yang said happily.

Qiao Feng's face was solemn, and he hurriedly asked, "Can I come back in time?" Abbot Xuanci will arrive later. ”

Xu Yang said with a smile: "Thanks to this sweeping monk's righteous action, the great villain has been captured!"

Even a good man like Qiao Feng, who may not be moved when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this good news.

This wicked man framed him many times, almost making it impossible for him to gain a foothold in the Central Plains martial arts.

Now that he has been caught, this makes Qiao Feng so happy!

His eyes were sharp, and he could still see clearly in the dimness, an old monk with a white beard, holding a broom, thinking that he was the "sweeping monk" in his brother's mouth.

At the feet of the old monk, there were still two masked people, one in a black robe and one in a gray robe.

The black-robed man was lying on the ground, and his body was extremely tall.

Qiao Feng recognized him as the masked man who had killed Bai Shijing, why was this person also here?

Xiao Yuanshan also recognized Qiao Feng, and when he saw his son's invincible appearance now, he died immediately, and he was willing.

Qiao Feng bowed to the sweeping monk to the end, and thanked him in his mouth.

My own brother, it's not necessary to say thank you, but the sweeping monk is an outsider, and he still helps himself so much at such an age, it must not be disrespectful!

At this time, Xuan Ci and the others really arrived, and there were twenty or thirty people here, and Xu Yang saw that most of them had seen it, and they were all senior monks of the Shaolin faction.

Xuan Ci saw that Xu Yang really kept his promise and captured alive the masked man who sneaked into the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, he was very emotional at the moment, and thanked him repeatedly: "The donor is really a hero, and the old man has finally seen it today!"

When Xiao Yuanshan saw that Xuan Ci had arrived, he shouted: "I am a scripture thief, I was arrested today, and it is not a pity to die." But please Shaolin monks fulfill one of my wishes, Xiao someone will be reincarnated as a cow and a horse in the next life, and I will repay you for your great kindness!"

Xuan Ci frowned, and said in his heart that this person didn't know each other, he came to steal the secret, and he dared to ask for it when he was caught?

Xu Yang didn't mind, and asked, "What do you want, but it's not too late!"

Xiao Yuanshan glanced at Xu Yang gratefully, he also knew that it was inconvenient to reveal his identity at this time, otherwise it would be quite detrimental to Qiao Feng's reputation.

"The man next to me has also come to steal the scriptures. It's just that I'm studying and learning, and I hope to break it. And this person not only learned martial arts, but also copied a lot of copies, and even took away the original, his heart can be punished!" Xiao Yuanshan said loudly: "If a few senior monks are willing to kill this evil thief for someone before Xiao dies, solve my heart knot." Xiao is willing to lead you to the place where this person hides the secrets, so as not to lose the few * learning!"

Murong Bo thought that he had hidden the stolen secret book very well, but Xiao Yuanshan had already secretly followed him, so he naturally knew where his secret was.

When Xuan Ci heard this, he looked at each other with several senior brothers around him, and said with a wry smile: "This benefactor, Shaolin is not an official government, and it cannot be abused for lynching. I'm afraid that I can only disappoint the donor. ”

If someone invades Shaolin and tries to escape, then the Shaolin monk can naturally punish him.

But these two people have fallen to the ground, obviously losing the ability to continue to do evil, so Abbot Xuanci can't overstep his responsibilities and kill them at will.

Even the most heinous murderers have control of Shaolin's secrets, and the most they can do is to imprison them and deal with them later, rather than killing them at will.

Otherwise, what is the difference between the Shaolin sect and those evil sects?

Xuan Ci looked at Xu Yang and smiled without saying a word.

What he meant was that you caught these two guys, right?

At most, Xuan Ci just opened his eyes and closed his eyes.

Xu Yang shook his head and said: "These two were captured by the seniors of your temple, and the younger generations really can't be greedy for the merits of heaven for themselves." Please forgive me, Master Abbot!"

Senior masters?Xuan Ci looked around, the senior brothers around him all came with him, and it was obvious that it was not them.

So, only the sweeping monk standing with a broom in hand was left beside the two of them?

What kind of senior master is this?

You must know that these sweeping monks are just idle monks with no seniority, who are responsible for cleaning on weekdays, neither chanting scriptures nor chanting Buddha, and will not have the opportunity to learn martial arts.

To put it bluntly, he is old and frail, and he just eats with his mouth.

Even many were not monks before entering Shaolin.

However, since Xu Yang said that he captured two masters, the identity of this person is quite suspicious.

Xuan Ci recited the Buddha's name, took a few steps forward, folded his hands and said: "This senior, I don't know what to call the Dharma name?

This monk looks like he is not as old as a hundred years old, his hair is snow-white, his face is wrinkled, and he walks tremblingly, if it weren't for Xu Yang personally saying that he had captured two masters, I am afraid that no one will believe it.

The sweeping monk listened to Xuan Ci exchange him, slowly raised his head, and looked at the Shaolin abbot in front of him.

Then, as if someone had been awakened from his sleep, he sighed softly and said, "How many years? Forty-one years, or forty-two years? It's too long ago to remember. I only know that the abbot came to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion for the first time to read the scriptures, and the old man had seen the abbot on the side. It's just that there are a lot of nobles, but I'm afraid that the abbot doesn't remember the old man anymore. ”

Xuan Ci gasped, more than forty years ago? At that time, even he was just a little novice who had just entered the temple, and he didn't understand anything.

Could it be that this sweeping monk has been lurking in the Shaolin Temple for many years?

I thought that when I was reading all kinds of secrets in the Scripture Pavilion, I was followed by such a top master, but I didn't notice it at all......

Such a master is much more terrifying than the two lying on the ground.

Xu Yang seemed to see through what Xuan Ci was thinking, so he said: "This senior's martial arts are the best in the world, and his Buddhism is profound, but I am afraid that he has no plans." ”

The sweeping monk raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xu Yang, feeling quite surprised in his heart.

He was the world's first-class master many years ago, and it was only because of his love entanglements that he was disheartened. It is better to abandon all the glory and wealth of the world, and come to the Shaolin Temple alone to be an idle monk, wandering in the Buddhist scriptures in an attempt to dissolve the knots in the heart.

But unexpectedly, it was not the famous Shaolin abbot who could see through himself, but this young man?

Xuan Ci heard Xu Yang say this, although he didn't dare to believe it, but after all, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Thank you seniors for taking action to clear the hidden dangers for Shaolin." ”

The sweeping monk sighed: "The secret book of martial arts is a foreign object, they want to copy it, or take it away, it is their cause and effect, and it is inconvenient for the old man to interfere." But setting fire to the Pavilion of the Hidden Scriptures would be too much. ”

When Xuan Ci heard him say this, he smelled a burning smell in the air again, and his heart was even more shocked.

But looking at the Scripture Pavilion, the appearance seems to be the same.

"Thanks to this little benefactor, I would rather let go of the traitor than put out the fire first, so that my Shaolin Ruxu collection of books can be safe. This is also the reason why Lao Wei took action to keep these two laymen for him. ”

The sweeping monk does not take credit, and for him, the gratitude of the Shaolin abbot is worthless.

Xuan Ci was quite moved at the moment, bowed down and thanked Xu Yang, and said: "These two people not only stole the Shaolin collection first, but also burned the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion later, so they really can't let it go." Please also ask the donor to make it clear what to do?"

Xu Yang smiled: "Master Abbot is wrong. It is true that both of them stole the scriptures first, but Mr. Murong was the only one who set fire to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion. ”

"Mr. Murong?" Xuan Ci stared at one of them, the more he looked at it, the more he looked like an old man back then, and stepped forward to lift the veil of the gray-robed man.

"Sure enough, it's you!" Xuan Ci said hatefully: "Murong Bo, Brother Murong! Back then, the old man was so miserable by you, and it also caused a catastrophe in the Central Plains martial arts. I originally thought that you were also deceived by someone, and you died of regret and regret when you learned the truth, but I didn't expect you to fake your death and escape, and sneak into my Shaolin Temple to steal the scriptures?!"

Murong Bo laughed: "Abbot Xuanci, I haven't seen you for many years, your temperament hasn't changed at all, and you're still so irritable." Hahahaha....... ”
