Henan Road. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoSongshan. North Shaolin Temple.

The North Shaolin Temple has been inherited for thousands of years, and it has long been one of the holy places in the hearts of the world.

In the night, but I saw a treasure temple standing solemnly, and the weather was strict.

The monks of North Shaolin are many ascetics. Therefore, although the hour is late at this time, the evening class time has passed, but there are still endless sounds of wooden fish and chanting in the temple.

However, the North Shaolin Temple has always been strict. Therefore, although there are still monks in the temple at this time, all the monks are doing their own things, in an orderly manner, and there is no chaos at all. Only in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the atmosphere is quite solemn.

The Daxiong Hall is the main hall of Shaolin Temple, and on weekdays, only a few hours during the day are open. At this time, the hall of the Great Majesty was full of people.

At a glance, since the abbot Mingjian master, the Arhat Hall, the Prajna Hall, the Confession Hall, the Bodhi Temple, the Precept Temple, the Taoist Temple, the Medicine King Temple, the Relic Temple, the Dharma Temple, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the three halls, the six courtyards, the first pavilion, all the abbots are gathered here.

You must know that these abbots are all high-ranking monks, and most of them live in seclusion on weekdays, practicing separately, and it is difficult for all monks to meet one.

At this time, it was almost time, and these abbots gathered together in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, which was obviously something very important. It is no wonder that the atmosphere inside and outside the hall is so solemn.

At this moment, the eleven eminent monks are each living in a futon, sitting cross-legged.

Master Mingjian in the center spoke: "Senior brothers and junior brothers, now that the Qingyun Order is out, there will be a bloody storm on the rivers and lakes again. My Shaolin is the authentic one in the world. At this juncture, I intend to send my Shaolin people down the mountain to eliminate a big killing and robbery for the rivers and lakes. I don't know what your senior brothers and sisters think?"

The white-eyed old monk on the left pronounced the Buddha's name and continued: "Senior abbot, the last time Qingyun ordered it, the martial arts factions were involved, and the blood flowed like a river. This time, the Qingyun Order will come out again, and I am afraid that a killing and robbery is inevitable. If my Shaolin Temple is involved, I am afraid that it will not be a murder, but a murder. "The speaker is the oldest of the monks, Master Mingrui.

Seeing this, he said, "What the senior brother said is very true. I heard that Qingyunzhai has been under Liu Yunfeng since then, and now it is mostly fighting the enemy in Taiyuan. This time, Qingyun ordered it, but I am afraid that the implication will be greater than the previous time. ”

The old monk on the right continued: "Senior brother abbot, senior brothers, Lord Liu has a great relationship with my Shaolin Temple. The people of Qingyunzhai are quite chivalrous in their actions. This invasion of the northerners, my Shaolin Temple is close at hand, but I did not send a monk or a disciple to resist the enemy, which is contrary to my Buddha's ambition. This time Qingyunzhai is in trouble, and we can't sit idly by. "This one who speaks is the head of the Prajna Hall, Master Mingkong.

After all the monks heard Mingkong mention the Buddha, they all pronounced a Buddha name, and another old monk who looked confused continued: "Senior brothers and sisters, my Buddha is compassionate, but under the Buddha's seat, there is also Venerable Veda holding a pestle, and the angry Arhat Vajra. This time, when the Qingyun order is issued, there will be evil demons and outsiders, taking the opportunity to disturb the rivers and lakes. I would like to go down the mountain and destroy the demons. ”

Don't look at this old monk who looks confused, but between the words, it is categorical. This one is the first seat of the Taoist Academy, the master of understanding. After Master Mingjie finished speaking, he changed back to his previous confused appearance.

Hearing Master Mingjie say this, the monks shouted another Buddha horn. Master Mingjian glanced around at everyone, stood up from the futon, and said, "Senior brothers and brothers, in this case, my Shaolin Temple will go to deal with this calamity this time." All the monks stood up in unison and once again proclaimed the Buddha's name.

The big day in the middle of the main hall is like coming, and the treasure is solemn. If you come to sit down, Master Guanyin, finger smiling.

Fuzhou Road. Putian. South Shaolin Temple.

It is also the Daxiong Treasure Hall. The same group of old monks.

It's just that, compared with the previous situation in the North Shaolin Temple, at this time, the atmosphere in the South Shaolin Temple is more dignified. The controversy among the monks became even more intense. The topic of the controversy is also the matter of Qingyun's order.

It's just that the abbots of the North Shaolin Temple quickly reached an agreement, but unlike the monks, the opinions of the monks of the South Shaolin Temple at this time were divided into three factions.

First, the South Shaolin Temple does not go out of the mountain this time. The second is the South Shaolin Temple out of the mountain.

But even when I went out of the mountain, the opinions of the monks were divided into two factions. One is to help Qingyun Village, and the other is to help the imperial court.

An old monk who looked the oldest was staring at the abbot master Yuan Jue who was sitting on the first seat, and asked in a heavy tone: "Senior abbot brother, are you right?" The one who asked was the first seat of the South Shaolin Bodhi Academy, Master Yuan Zhi.

Hearing Master Yuanzhi ask, the other old monks also looked at the abbot Yuanjue.

Master Yuanjue glanced at the monks and said, "Senior brothers, this matter is very important. If it weren't for Qingyunling's real appearance, I would have planned to keep this matter in my heart. ”

The monks were silent for a while, and Master Yuanmin, the first seat of the Confessional Academy, said: "This matter is indeed a big opportunity for me in Southern Shaolin, and it may also be a big disaster. ”

As soon as Yuan Min's words fell, a rough voice continued: "What is the big opportunity? A monk, the four major are empty, just devote himself to the Buddha, who is rare about his false name of the Huguo Temple?"

When Yuan Min heard this voice, he smiled bitterly: "Senior Brother Yuanyin, don't I just talk about things, why should Senior Brother be angry." ”

It turned out that the person who said this was the first seat of the Southern Shaolin Discipline Academy, Master Yuanyin. This circle is due to the master, and his temperament is the most upright.

The reason why the abbots of South Shaolin are arguing endlessly this time is that the abbot Master Yuanjue threw out a heavy news when he convened the monks to discuss the Qingyun Order.

It turned out that just ten years ago, the South Shaolin Temple ushered in a pilgrim who was extremely generous. This person donated a large amount of sesame oil money to the South Shaolin Temple in one fell swoop. The sheer number of them is staggering.

Out of courtesy, Master Yuanjue personally met with this bold pilgrim and thanked him in person.

After the two sides met, Master Yuanjue learned that this person was the confidant of Qin Mu, the prime minister of the dynasty. This person went to the South Shaolin Temple this time, nominally to worship the Buddha, but in fact he was sent by Qin Mu to make a special trip to meet Master Yuanjue.

This person said to Master Yuanjue that a few days ago, there were thieves in Qingyun Village, who escaped after plotting to steal major secrets. If this secret is leaked, it may shake the country's foundation.

Qin Mu's henchmen said to Master Yuanjue that if the imperial court could recover it on its own, it would naturally not need to make a move from the South Shaolin Temple. However, if one day, there is news of a big change in Qingyun Village, I am afraid that the situation has gotten out of control. When the time comes, the prime minister wants to ask the South Shaolin Temple to help, assist the court, and catch the thief.

In return, Qin Mu promised that after the matter was settled, he would protect it in front of the Son of Heaven, and enshrine the South Shaolin Temple as the Huguo Temple, so that the South Shaolin Temple would become the supreme martial arts.

Although the four major monks are empty, the dispute over the authenticity of Buddhism has never really stopped. For this reason, South Shaolin and North Shaolin have been fighting for many years. It's just that, all along, it was the north that overwhelmed the south wind.

Now, Qingyun has ordered, and it is obvious that something really happened in Qingyun Village. If the South Shaolin Temple helped the imperial court this time, he would be named the Huguo Temple one day, and the South Shaolin would win an important city in the battle for the authenticity of Buddhism. In the future, it is impossible to say that the south wind can really blow down the north wind.

As soon as the abbot Master Yuanjue threw out this news, it immediately aroused a fierce debate among the monks.

At this time, Master Yuan Yin heard that Yuan Min said that this matter was a big opportunity, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.

As soon as Yuan Min's voice fell, Master Yuancheng, the first master of the Dharma Academy, continued: "This matter is related to the dispute over the authenticity of my Southern Shaolin Buddhism, and it is not impossible to say that it is a big opportunity." My generation practiced, everything can be disputed, but the dispute between the authenticity of Buddhism must not be put down. ”

Seeing that Master Yuancheng also gave Yuan Min a help, Master Yuan Yin glared at Master Yuan Cheng fiercely, and said angrily: "Authentic! Authentic! Could it be that what I am cultivating in Nan Shaolin now is not authentic Buddhism? Then Qin Mu is a big traitor." If I, Southern Shaolin, collude with traitors, what can I talk about the authenticity of Buddhism?"

Master Yuanjue saw that Yuan Yin was angry again, and he wanted to stop drinking, and the first master of the Luohan Hall asked in a deep voice: "Senior Abbot, I heard that a few days ago, the trace of the old demon of Wanshi appeared in the Central Plains again?"

When Master Yuanyin heard this, he stood up from the futon and said angrily, "Really?"

Master Yuanjue nodded and replied, "I'm afraid this matter is true. In recent days, I heard that in the Central Plains, another boy and girl have disappeared mysteriously. ”

Master Yuan Yin was even more angry when he heard this, and said loudly: "There is no need to discuss this matter again. I don't care what you decide. I'm going down the mountain to subdue demons. Back then, the old demon of Wanshi escaped from me and my senior brother, and this time he will definitely get rid of this old devil. ”

When the monks heard this, they were silent.

After being silent for a while, Master Yuanjue said, "In this case, let's have Senior Brother Lao Yuan and Senior Brother Yuanyin go again." The last time the old demon of Wanshi escaped from the hands of his senior brother and junior brother, this time he went out of the rivers and lakes to do evil, and I Nan Shaolin could not escape the blame. This cause and effect is also over. Senior Brother Lao Yuancheng and Senior Brother Yuanmin also went down the mountain together to assist. Other things can be left out for now. The matter of the old demon of Wanshi must be solved. The prestige of my Southern Shaolin cannot be lost. ”

After speaking, waiting for the monks to say goodbye and disperse, Master Yuanjue sat down on the futon again, twisted the Buddha beads in his hand, and recited the Heart Sutra of Guanzi Bodhisattva in a low voice.

Jiangxi Road. Xiaowudang Mountain.

A few little Taoist priests were chattering and whispering: "Qingfeng, do you hear it, Shigong is playing erhu again?"

The little Taoist priest, who was called Qingfeng, was listening attentively, sniffed, and replied, "I'm not deaf, of course I can hear." Shigong's tone today seems to be a little different from usual. ”

The other little Taoist priest made a deep look, nodded, and said, "Uh-huh." Right. I listened to Shigong's erhu sound today, full of the sound of killing. ”

Another little Taoist priest sneered: "Cut, you know a ghost! No matter what the master pulls, it will sound good anyway." ”

A few little Taoist priests were discussing, and the erhu sound was high-pitched for a while, and suddenly stopped. A few little Taoist priests hurriedly said, "Sleep! Sleep! Master is coming back soon!"

After speaking, several little Taoist priests crowded into the room one after another, hurriedly took off their shoes, and got into the quilt with their clothes.

After a while, a soft footstep entered the house. A slightly old voice said with a smile: "A few little ghosts, why don't you get up and take off your coat and sleep well?"

After speaking, seeing that a few little Taoist priests did not move, someone came to light the oil lamp in the room, knocked on the row of small heads on the couch one by one, and said with a smile: "A few little calf noses, still pretending to sleep with the master?"

A few little Taoist priests couldn't pretend anymore, so they had to sit up and shout, "Master!"

The little Taoist priest who was previously called Qingfeng muttered in a low voice: "Always scolding us calf noses." We are calves nose, what is the old man?"

The person who came knocked on Qingfeng's head again, pretending to be angry and said, "Bold!" After speaking, he couldn't help laughing at first, and laughed: "Of course the old way is the old cow's nose." ”

Qingfeng was knocked again, touched his head, looked at the master in front of him with a smile, and was about to take off the Taoist robe on his body, when he suddenly asked, "Master, are you going down the mountain?"

The old Taoist priest who was called Shigong asked, "Oh, what do you say?" Qingfeng replied: "It's so late, Shigong, your old man has brought the erhu and the sword, aren't you going down the mountain?"

Lao Dao looked at the few little Taoist priests who were staring at him, reached out and touched Qingfeng's head, and said, "Shigong is going down the mountain." The master is not here, you must listen to the words of the master, and you must not fall behind in your homework. Otherwise, when the master comes back, he will knock you on the head. ”

Qingfeng asked again: "Master, is it dangerous for your old man to go down the mountain at night this time?" Or will I go with your old man and take care of your old man?"

Lao Dao smiled and said, "Master can take care of himself." He said, "You are all smart children. When the master goes, he may have to travel all over the world. I don't know when I will come back next time. You must practice well, and in the future, you will raise the prestige of my Zhenwu Emperor. ”

After that, Lao Dao urged a few little Taoist priests to sleep well, and then turned off the oil lamp and drifted away.

As everyone knows, it is precisely because of Lao Dao's words tonight that in the future, the Emperor Zhenwu will really produce an immortal master.

Nanyue Hengshan. Crouching Tiger Ridge. Crouching Tiger Village. The Hall of Justice.

A middle-aged man with a sturdy figure sat in the main seat.

Below the main seat, on a chair on the left, sat a burly man.

Opposite the burly man, sat a man who looked like a down-and-out scholar. These three people are the three masters of Crouching Tiger Village.

The big boss of the main position is called Guo Dongqiang.

The burly man on the left is the second master. The second master's surname is Sai, an orphan, and he was infinitely powerful when he was young. When I was young, I heard a lot of stories about the dispute between Chu and Han told by the old people, and I admired the fierce general Fan Xu under Pei Gong very much, so I named myself Fan Xu, called Fan Xu. With his surname, the name is even more powerful.

The down-and-out scholar opposite Sai Fan is the third master of Crouching Tiger Village, named Situ Chen.

At this time, in addition to these three masters, there were six or seven people in the Juyi Hall, who were talking about it. These people are some of the leaders of the three masters of Crouching Tiger Village.

Sai Fan heard a few people making noise for a while, slapped the handle of the chair, and shouted: "Shut up to Lao Tzu!"

When everyone stopped, Sai Fan asked Guo Dongqiang: "Big brother, you can do what you say about this." Listening to these rabbit cubs clamoring, I can't come up with an idea tomorrow. ”

Guo Dongqiang said to Sai Fan with a tiger face: "Second brother, don't you call everyone here to discuss this matter?

Seeing Guo Dongqiang's face down, Sai Fan muttered, and said to Situ Chen: "Third child, you have a lot of ideas, you say." ”

Situ Chen smiled, hugged Guo Dongqiang and Sai Fan, and said, "The idea of the eldest brother, the second brother, and the younger brother is that we will wait and see what happens. ”

When Sai Fan heard this, he was immediately unhappy, and shouted: "What do you mean to wait and see what happens? Just don't move? Qingyunzhai is a good man." If you don't go, I'll go. ”

Guo Dongqiang snorted and said, "Second child, you are frizzy again! ”

Situ Chen hugged Sai Fan again, and said with a wry smile: "Second brother, junior brother, this is also helpless." My Crouching Tiger Ridge is no better than Qingyun Village. Qingyunzhai has strong strength and many masters. After more than 100 years of operation, he has made a living in and out of Daqing Mountain. Most of the family members in the village are not in the village. You can fight if you want, and you can run if you want to. I'm different from Crouching Tiger Ridge. When it comes to fighting, the two brothers are masters. Little brother, it's okay for me to use my brain. If you start to do it, just the little brother's kung fu of the three-legged cat, he will be put down casually. Moreover, most of my brothers' families in the Crouching Tiger Ridge Village are in the village. If the brothers all go to save Qingyunzhai this time, if the official army attacks the mountain, the brothers' families will not be able to be saved. ”

When the small leaders below heard Situ Chen say this, they all nodded in agreement.

Sai Fan got up from his chair irritably, and said angrily: "I said at the beginning, we occupy the mountain as the king, how can we bring a large family on the mountain? ”

Situ Chen smiled bitterly again and said, "Second brother, didn't I make such a suggestion at the beginning to make the brothers feel at ease?

Guo Dongqiang raised his hand, stopped talking, and said, "The third, the second is what I said." I also agreed with this at the beginning. The brothers have indeed felt much more at ease in recent years than before. ”

Sai Fan heard Guo Dongqiang say the same, and suddenly said strangely: "Third child, how do you know that the family members of Qingyun Village are not in the village?" Situ Chen replied with a smile: "I can only help our cottage do things like finding out the news." ”

Guo Dongqiang waved his hand again and said, "No need to say any more." This time, I will not stand still in Crouching Tiger Ridge for the time being. However, third brother, you can arrange to send more brothers to find out the news outside the mountain. Everyone is a person in the green forest. When it's really a last resort, when I should make a move in Crouching Tiger Ridge, I still have to make a move. ”

Sai Fan heard Guo Dongqiang say this, so he sat down reluctantly.

Situ Chen hugged his fists at the two again, and turned around and left with a group of small leaders.

......

This night, the rivers and lakes were in chaos.
