Chapter 235: Venerable Zongqing
After the Great Lama Shahr jumped into the underground palace, Venerable Zongqing did not immediately follow him, but stood quietly in front of the statue of Shakyamuni, closing his eyes and reciting the Buddha. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Jurchen soldiers outside the hall saw that the fierce enemy at the gate had retreated, and after hesitating for a moment, they regained their morale, shouted in unison, and rushed into the Buddha hall.
After Tongdu's subordinates successfully entered the hall, he turned his head and smiled at the impatient Dongdansa: "Let's go, let's go in too!"
Dongdan Sa glanced at Tong Du dissatisfied, but did not answer, unfolded his body, as fast as the wind, and rushed into the Buddha hall in an instant. Tong Du looked at his back, smiled coldly, and immediately took a step and entered the Buddha hall unhurriedly.
At this moment, more than a hundred Jurchen soldiers had already surrounded Venerable Zongqing, who was still standing in front of the Buddha statue. When they saw that Venerable Zongqing had no fear, he was unhurriedly reciting the Buddhist scriptures to himself, and they were suspicious, and no one dared to step forward for a while.
Seeing the leader Tongdu coming in, the encirclement gave way to a passage, Tongdu walked in slowly, and just wanted to speak, he heard Dongdansa shout: "Wuna old monk, don't you still surrender with your hands?!Bring this shaman to capture you!" Tongdu didn't hold it for a moment, Dongdansa had already flown out, and struck at the Zongqing Venerable who was standing with his back.
Seeing the fist wind approaching, Venerable Zongqing didn't know, and when Dongdansa's fist almost touched the monk's robe, he just shook his right arm, and the big sleeves of the monk's robe were thrown back, Dongdansa felt a soft and rigid, round and unmatched energy attacked, and he couldn't help but dodge, and his body suddenly lost its center of gravity, flew upside down, and in the exclamation of the soldiers, smashed a few soldiers, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.
Dongdan Sa, the third disciple of the national teacher Grand Master Wumai and one of the most famous masters of Zoroastrianism, was knocked out without even seeing the face of his opponent, and all the Jurchens present were once again shocked.
Dongdan Sa was helped up by the soldiers, ashamed and annoyed, pulled out his waist knife, and was about to rush out again, but was stopped by Tongdu.
Tongdu's eyes flashed, and he asked loudly: "I don't know who the master is, how could he join the Mongols and come to desecrate the holy land of Buddhism with my Dajin?!"
When Venerable Zongqing heard this, he slowly turned around and said with a smile: "Old Zong Qing of Shaolin in Songshan Mountain, I occasionally heard of the annual festival of Pujue Temple, and there is a Tibetan biblical Kangyur in the world, so I came to watch the ceremony, Amitabha!"
Without waiting for Tongdu to speak, Dongdan Sa said hatefully: "Nonsense, you are clearly a thief with those Mongols, and you are here to steal the Kangyur Bible of Dajin, don't want to deceive me!"
Venerable Zongqing smiled and said: "I have heard that the Kangyur Bible is a treasure of Tibetan religion and a treasure of Mongolia.
Dongdansa was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't know how to answer. Tongdu said lightly: "My Dajin not only respects Tibetan Buddhism, but also does not dare to blaspheme the various sects of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism in the Central Plains, as evidenced by the Pujue Temple built by the Great Khan. Buddhism is about blessings for all lives, and the Kangyur Bible is my gold, so why not?"
Venerable Zong Qing looked at Tong Du and nodded: "This general can speak well and speak extraordinary, and the old man admires him." However, forcibly taking other people's things is not the right way after all, and it is also contrary to the Buddha's principles!"
Dongdan Sa shouted: "Tongdu, why do you bother to talk to this old monk, beckon everyone to rush up, and catch him!"
Tongdu frowned slightly, and whispered to Dongdansa: "I will make my own decision, don't bother!" Drag, Umai Archmage Nurhachi was named the national teacher, and his subordinate shamans were arrogant and arrogant, and they showed off their martial arts in the Jin Kingdom, especially the personal disciples of the two national teachers, which were even more indispensable. Jurchen civil officials and military generals generally did not dare to provoke these lawless shamans easily. However, this Tongdu is an exception, firstly, because he has never had a good impression of shamans, and secondly, he is confident that he is tough behind him, and he is not afraid of the disciples of the national teachers, so at this moment, when he saw that Dongdan Sa actually wanted to overstep his own and order his subordinates to attack, he was immediately a little angry and refuted it.
Dongdan Sa's heart was arrogant, seeing that Tongdu was so unkind, he couldn't hold his face, and was waiting for a-for-tat confrontation, but he heard a prickly sound, and the tall statue of Sakyamuni Buddha slowly turned, and soon it was restored to its original state, and the underground palace was completely closed.
Seeing this, Venerable Zongqing secretly said that it was not true, and then said loudly: "General Tongdu is brave and strategic, and he really set a trap, no wonder after Master Shicai Shaer and others entered the main hall, you and other lords still did not go into battle in person, it turned out that they were inviting you into the urn, waiting for the Mongolian warriors to throw themselves into the net!"
Seeing that the plan was successful and had trapped all the Mongols, Tongdu smiled and said, "The master has won the prize." This time, all the layouts were personally designed by my Dajin Khan and Wumai Guoshi, and the last general is just following orders!"
Dongdan Sa didn't know until this moment that Tong Du didn't let him make a move before, because he was afraid that he would be reckless and destroy the trap laid by the Great Khan and the master himself, and suddenly a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he was afraid and angry in his heart, secretly hating Tong Du for not telling him about the layout earlier, and looking at Tong Du's gaze became more and more gloomy.
Tong Du turned a blind eye to Dongdansa's hatred, and still smiled at Venerable Zongqing: "Master, your action to snatch the Bible has failed, why don't you go with the last general to meet my Dajin National Master and taste tea and discuss the Tao!"
Venerable Zong Qing's face did not change, and said with a smile: "Feng Shui rotates, success or failure is impermanent, maybe the general's words are too early!" After speaking, he recited "Amitabha", and then slowly moved his steps, as if he couldn't see the Jurchen soldiers in front of him at all, and walked straight out of the hall.
Yes, in the eyes of all the Jurchens, this old monk is "walking", and he is walking slowly, because his hands are folded, his upper body has not moved, and the long monk's robe has almost no ups and downs, and all he can see is a pair of worn monk shoes staggered. However, this old monk "walked" too fast, and in a moment he came to the front of more than ten Jurchen soldiers, and before they could react, a strong surge, these Jurchen soldiers couldn't help but fall backwards to both sides, and the originally strict encirclement immediately revealed a passage to the door of the main hall.
Tong Du restrained his smile, his face sank like water, and he quickly pulled out the long knife at his waist, and in the midst of a loud shout, he slashed out a sharp knife and slashed towards Venerable Zongqing. He went from being polite and calm to becoming fierce and tyrannical and murderous in an instant, without warning in the middle, and he was a battle-hardened and decisive person. It can also be seen that those who can serve as the leaders of the garrison of the old Jurchen camp are by no means ordinary.
At the moment when the Tongdu sword slashed out, another sword light also slashed towards Venerable Zongqing almost at the same time. It's just that this sword light is not a white glow in the eyes of everyone, but a red glow, hot and bright. The person who came out of the sword was none other than Dongdansa, who worshiped Zoroastrianism. Dong Dansa poured the Fire God Technique into the single knife in his hand, and slashed at the swift figure of Venerable Zongqing with all his strength.
One cold and one scorching two swords slashed horizontally, ordinary warriors had almost no way to dodge, but Venerable Zongqing was not an ordinary person, his face was still not sad or happy, his eyebrows and eyes did not move, and he still walked with the same frequency of steps, in the unbelievable eyes of everyone, Shi Shiran walked out of the gate of the Buddha hall. Behind him, the two knives that Tongdu and Dongdansa slashed with all their strength failed, and if he hadn't stopped in time, he would have almost cut the ground of the hall out of a deep ditch.
It turned out that Master Zongqing seemed to be walking in a normal way, but in fact, the speed of his progress was doubled without feeling, not to mention these changes, not to mention ordinary Jurchen soldiers, even Tongdu and Dongdansa, who had extraordinary martial arts, could not notice it, so that after the two of them failed to make their swords, they understood what was going on.
Fear and uneasiness swelled in the hearts of all the Jurchens, including Tongdu and Dongdansa.
Seeing that Venerable Zongqing had already left the main hall, Tong Du took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and was about to order his subordinates to pursue with all his might, when he heard a loud laugh from outside the hall: "This master's miraculous skills are world-shattering, and the old man is amazed!"
This laughter was like thunder, and it burst out, and all the Jurchen soldiers felt that their ears were buzzing and uncomfortable. Dongdan Sayungong protected his ears, but shouted in surprise: "The national teacher of Drager is here!"
Venerable Zongqing easily broke through the encirclement, and when he came to the open space outside the Buddha hall, he saw a tall and familiar old man coming from the front yard with a loud laugh. Previously, in the family residence of Wu Haiping in Liaoyang, Venerable Zongqing had seen Grand Master Drager at a glance, so he naturally recognized it. And that night, Venerable Zong Qing, Luo Sigong, Gao Jie and the other four were all masked, but Archmage Drager did not recognize the old monk in front of him.
Seeing that Archmage Drager was blocking his way, Venerable Zongqing was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Amitabha, Archmage has finally appeared, and the old man thought that he would miss it!"
Archmage Drager stood with his hands behind his back, and when he heard this, he was a little surprised, and he was puzzled: "Oh?!Why did the master say this, could it be that he already knew that the old man was here?"
Venerable Zong Qing said with a smile: "I have heard that the two national teachers of the Jin Kingdom have all come to Hetuala, and what they have done is nothing more than the fact that the Mongols have seized the Kangyur Bible. Now that Master Sha'er is waiting for you to storm Pujue Temple as you wish, it would be a little strange if the national teacher was not in the temple at this time!"
Archmage Drager also laughed and said, "Master is wise, it is reasonable! It seems that our layout seems to have been seen through by you, but I don't know why the master and others are still like moths to a fire and are willing to fall into the game?"
Venerable Zongqing closed his eyes and said, "The Buddha said, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell!" Since the national teacher has worked hard to lay out a huge situation, if we don't come to appreciate the light, won't we live up to the national teacher's wishes!"
Hearing this, Archmage Drager frowned in some surprise, and then said in a deep voice: "No matter what, now that Grand Lama Sha'er and the others are trapped, the overall situation has been decided, just by virtue of you, Master, is there any means to turn the situation around?"
Venerable Zong Qing shook his head and said: "It is still unknown who killed the deer, the old man is shallow in cultivation, and he does not dare to speculate, he can only take one step at a time and see one step at a time!"
Archmage Drager nodded and said, "The master doesn't look like a Mongolian, I don't know where he comes from, how to call him?"
At this moment, Tong Du and Dong Dan Sa had also come to the courtyard, and after hearing Archmaster Drag's question, Tong Du spoke up: "This is the master of Shaolin Temple!"
"Venerable Zongqing?!" Grand Master Drag's eyes flashed, and he said, "It turns out that the master is the Venerable Zongqing, a young master!"
Venerable Zongqing said: "How dare you, the old man is just a martial monk, he has been practicing martial arts for decades, and he has achieved a little success, how dare he call himself a martial arts master!"
Archmage Drager shook his head and said: "The name of the master, even I and others who have lived in Liaodong for a long time have heard of it, why should Venerable Zongqing be humble! The old man is naturally fond of martial arts, since he met the master today, please give me a few tricks!"
