Chapter 161: North and South Shaolin

Songshan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info North Shaolin.

It was late at night, but nine bells rang in the North Shaolin.

When the monks heard the bell, they changed color.

The bell rings nine times, and there are only three cases.

First, the Buddha's birthday. Second, the invasion of the enemy. Third, something big happens.

Today is neither the birthday of the Buddha, nor has I heard of foreign enemies coming to the north of Shaolin to disturb each other. Then there was only one situation left, and there was something big going on in the temple.

Many second-generation disciples in North Shaolin already know that the four abbots of this temple left the temple a few days ago. At this moment, the bell rang nine times, and some second-generation disciples were already speculating that it was very likely that something had happened to the four abbots who had gone down the mountain.

In the night, the torches meandered, and the monks and soldiers of the North Shaolin went out one after another, guarding a huge North Shaolin Temple to the birds, but the water could not be passed.

In the hall of the Great Majesty, Master Mingjian and the abbots of each hall and courtyard were all present. And Master Mingjian, who is the abbot of Northern Shaolin, is also sitting on the futon on both sides with several other abbots at this moment. In the middle of the two rows of old monks, at the top of the head, sat three older monks.

These three old monks are Master Xingyuan, Master Xingming and Master Xingkong.

Master Xingyuan is the first of the previous term of the Northern Shaolin Medicine King Academy, and he is the current first master of the Ming Dao of the North Shaolin Medicine King Academy.

The Master of Sex Ming and Master Sex Void are the teachers of Master Mingjian, the current abbot of Northern Shaolin, and the first Master Mingrui of the current Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of Northern Shaolin, respectively.

Master Mingjian had already explained in detail to all the old monks present about the situation of the great battle in Xiangyang City earlier today.

After Master Mingjian finished speaking, Heshi saluted Master Xingming, Master Xingyuan, and Master Xingkong, and asked, "Master, uncle, uncle, what do you three have to say about this matter?"

Master Xingming twisted the Buddha beads in his hand and said to Master Mingjian: "Mingjian, you are the abbot of my Northern Shaolin, you can say it." Master Xingyuan and Master Xingkong also nodded.

Master Mingjian saluted the three of them again and said, "Master, uncle, uncle, brothers, Brother Mingrui and several others have killed and injured the envoys and officers and soldiers of the northerners in Xiangyang City. What I mean is that when I take over the matter of Senior Brother Mingrui, after the new will of the imperial court comes out, I, Northern Shaolin, will decide how to proceed. ”

Seeing that all the monks had no objections, Master Mingjian continued: "However, before the will of the imperial court comes out, if the Legalists, Southern Shaolin, Wanshi Old Demon and Daren Temple Monk seriously injured Senior Brother Mingrui and others, I, Northern Shaolin, should react immediately." ”

Seeing that all the monks nodded, and seeing that the master was about to say his thoughts, Master Xingkong said: "The abbot's nephew, Lao Wei and the two junior disciples have been cultivating for a long time, and they all feel that they have encountered some bottlenecks. The old man wanted to go down the mountain with his two junior brothers to see if he could find an opportunity and break through the bottleneck. Second, by the way, let's see if we can do this thing mentioned by the abbot and nephew. ”

The old monks of the Ming generation looked at Master Xingming and Master Xingyuan, and when they saw these two old monks, they also nodded, and their hearts were shocked at the same time.

These three old monks at the ancestor level don't know how long they haven't been out of the mountain. This time, Master Xingkong took the initiative to propose that the three of them should go down the mountain together to do the matter raised by Master Mingjian about the injury of Master Mingrui and others, obviously because he was really angry in his heart.

Among these three people, except for Master Xingyuan's slightly mild personality, Master Xingkong and Master Xingyuan were both extremely strong and jealous people in the past. These three people went out of the mountain together, and if the news was received in the rivers and lakes, I don't know how many evil demons would be frightened.

After Master Xingming nodded, seeing the expressions of the monks, he took the words of Master Xingkong and said, "Mingjian, teachers and nephews, don't worry. I went down the mountain with two senior brothers, and I didn't make a move easily. Moreover, the three of us went down the mountain this time, and there was another extremely important thing, that is, we had to go to Xiangyang City first to do a ritual to overdo a ritual for the thousands of souls who died under the official saber in vain. ”

When the monks heard Master Xingming say this, they understood in their hearts that since the three old ancestors were going to show up in Xiangyang City first, then the purpose of their descent this time was far greater than the purpose of doing things with people.

As long as these three ancestors show up in Xiangyang City, the people of the Central Plains rivers and lakes, anyone who wants to embarrass Master Mingrui and others again, I am afraid they will have to think about it for a long time.

Master Xingyuan waited for Master Xingming to speak, and said: "Abbot and nephew, Lao Wei has an idea and wants to hear the opinion of the abbot and nephew. ”

Master Mingjian hurriedly clasped his palms together and said, "Please give me advice!"

Master Xingyuan said: "According to what the master and nephew of the head of the family said, the previous battles in Xiangyang City were all caused by the two sons of the Zhu family who mistakenly killed the envoys of the Northern Dynasty. Lao Wei thought that since the army of the Northern Dynasty had not retreated, and the Legalists, Mojia, Zajia, Southern Shaolin and Fan Monks had gathered in Xiangyang City, today's events were probably a plan set up by the northerners and Qin Mu a long time ago. Since it was a ploy, the envoys of the Northern Dynasty came to the Central Plains to negotiate peace, and there must have been fraud. What Lao Wei means is that on this occasion, I sent monks and soldiers from Northern Shaolin to the surroundings of Taiyuan to assist the officers and soldiers in defending the city in case there is a change. Otherwise, the northerners don't believe in our Buddha, and once they break through Taiyuan, our northern Shaolin will inevitably suffer another military disaster. ”

When the monks heard Master Xingyuan say this, they all nodded.

Master Mingjian first glanced at Master Xingming and Master Xingkong, and after looking at the abbots, seeing that everyone was deeply impressed by Master Xingyuan's words, Master Mingjian said: "What Uncle Shi said is extremely true. The teacher and nephew will arrange for the monks to go down the mountain and go to Taiyuan tomorrow. ”

......

Putian. South Shaolin.

In the hall of the Great Hero. The atmosphere was unusually heavy. All the monks talked a lot, and they couldn't believe the news that Fang had just said from Master Yuanjue's mouth.

An old monk asked Master Yuanjue, "Senior Brother Abbot, Senior Brother Yuanjue and others are really all killed?"

Master Yuanjue nodded with a heavy face and said, "The news should be true. The Battle of Xiangyang had thousands of participants and a large number of onlookers. The information is extremely detailed and does not seem to be a falsification. Senior Brother Yuan, the three junior brothers, and I, the Eighteenth Bronze Man of Southern Shaolin, have all died in Xiangyang City. ”

After all the old monks shouted "Amitabha Buddha" in unison, another old monk said angrily: "The old demon of Wanshi and the demon monk of Nadaren Temple dare to be so bold and kill and injure the four senior brothers and the big eighteen bronze people. If this revenge is not avenged, the poor monk has no shame to go to see the Buddha!"

When the other old monks heard this, they said one after another: "Yes, yes!

Master Yuanjue clasped his hands together, pronounced a Buddha name, stopped the monks, and said: "Senior brothers, senior brother Yuanjue, the three junior brothers and the eighteenth bronze man will naturally take revenge. However, there is still a troublesome matter, that is, how to deal with Songshan Shaolin next. ”

When the monks heard this, they looked at each other, but they didn't know how to answer. When Qingyun ordered that day, when the monks of Southern Shaolin discussed the matter of leaving the mountain, in addition to Master Yuancheng and Master Yuanmin, who had died in Xiangyang City, several old monks present were also in favor of taking this opportunity to compete with Northern Shaolin.

If it weren't for this, if Master Yuan and the others just pursued the Wanshi Old Demon wholeheartedly, and did not fight with the four monks of Northern Shaolin in Xiangyang City, with the skills of Master Yuan and others and the Eighteen Bronze People of Southern Shaolin, they would not be taken advantage of by the Wanshi Old Demon and the monks.

Moreover, Master Yuanjue has already explained that according to the news from outside the mountain, Master Mingrui of Northern Shaolin and Master Mingjie and Master Yuanzhi and other manpower were fighting, and they had made a reminder, and they tried to help Master Yuanzhi and others block the sneak attack of Wanshi Old Demon and Fan Monk, but as a result, Master Yuanzhi and others misunderstood the intentions of Master Mingrui and Master Ming Xie of Northern Shaolin at an emergency moment, and injured Master Mingrui and Master Mingjie, and their own side was also killed by Wanshi Old Demon and a group of monks.

This experience, if it is true, how to say that South Shaolin was a villain in vain, not only lost the four abbots and the eighteen bronze people, but also gave the North Shaolin Koushi.

There are one or two people in the field who have strongly opposed the Southern Shaolin monks to compete with the Northern Shaolin monks for what is the authenticity of Buddhism, and they have the heart to complain at this time, but they also know that Master Yuanjue and the abbots are in a very complicated mood. The two old monks sighed secretly and kept silent.

The monks were silent, and a rather old sigh came from outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall. With a sigh, an old monk dressed in gray walked into the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

When the monks saw the old monk walk in, they quickly stood up from the futon and stood solemnly. Master Yuanjue took a few steps forward and saluted, "Master!"

The rest of the old monks also gave salutes one after another, shouting in their mouths: "Uncle Shi (Uncle)!"

This old monk is Master Yuanjue's mentor, Master Nanshaolin Zhiran.

Master Ran walked to the futon where Master Yuanjue was originally sitting and sat down, and after motioning for all the monks to sit down, he said: "Yuanjue, fellow teachers and nephews, you don't have to worry about the matter of Northern Shaolin. Lao Qu will personally go out of the mountain tomorrow and go to meet with North Shaolin. ”

After Master Yuanjue and the monks looked at each other, he said: "Master, the disciple's inconsiderate handling of things has caused my Southern Shaolin to suffer such a heavy loss, and it has also made the master humiliated, and even made the master go to Northern Shaolin to be humiliated. The disciple is ashamed to be in charge. ”

Master Ran sighed and said, "Yuanjue, since you took over as the head of my Southern Shaolin, you have done your best. Your words and deeds are all for the consideration of my Southern Shaolin. These are clear to the teacher and several of your uncles and uncles. You don't have to blame yourself. ”

Speaking of this, Master Ran paused for a moment, and then said: "However, you just know that you think about Southern Shaolin, but you have forgotten that my Southern Shaolin, in the final analysis, is also a Buddhist sect, and it is in the same vein as Northern Shaolin." You want to compete with Northern Shaolin for an authentic Buddhism, and you feel that it is humiliating to go to meet Northern Shaolin as a teacher, and you already have a magic barrier. ”

When Master Yuanjue and the monks heard this, they were all shocked. When I heard Master Ran say that he was going to meet with Northern Shaolin in person, Master Yuanjue and the monks felt very sorry in their hearts. All the monks felt that it was indeed a very humiliating thing for a person of such an identity as Master Ran to go to Northern Shaolin to explain this incident.

At this moment, when Master Zhiran said this, the monks understood that they didn't know when it started, and the idea that everything could not be lowered to North Shaolin had been deeply buried in everyone's hearts.

As soon as Master Ran saw the appearance of Master Yuanjue and the old monks, he knew what they were thinking. Master Zhiran sighed again and said, "Yuanjue, fellow nephews, you have such thoughts, and it is also related to the fact that when Lao Qu was the abbot, his competitive spirit was too strong. When he returned from the mountain this time, the old man asked for punishment and went to make a golden body for my Buddha. ”

When the monks heard this, they all exclaimed: "Uncle (uncle), no!" Master Yuanjue hurriedly got up from the futon and knelt down in front of Master Ran, with tears in his eyes.

The reason why the monks are like this is because this journey of suffering is extremely difficult.

Shaolin monks normalize their fate, if they meet the kind of men and women who are bold in their hands, they can mold a golden body for the Buddha. It seems that the incense given by Qin Mu's henchmen a few days ago, if it is exchanged for gold and silver and turned into golden soup, it can at least mold three golden bodies for the Buddha.

But the path to bitterness is different. If a Shaolin monk is bitter, in the hands of a charity, he can only take one copper at most. The golden soup needed for a golden body of the Buddha, if it is replaced with copper, the copper needed is more than ten thousand.

At the age of Master Ran, if he really went to transform the Buddha into a golden body by turning into a Buddha, he was afraid that even if Master Ran was exhausted, he would not be able to complete this matter.

Seeing that the monks were like this, Master Zhiran sighed again and said, "The monks don't speak. The old man has made up his mind, you don't have to persuade him anymore. There are tens of thousands of unjust souls in Xiangyang City, and North Shaolin will definitely send senior monks to Chaodu. Tomorrow I will go down the mountain and go to Xiangyang, first, for thousands of people, four teachers and nephews and the eighteen bronze people, and secondly, I will also meet the people of Northern Shaolin in Xiangyang. As for the matter of Wanshi Old Demon and Fan Monk killing and injuring my Shaolin monks in the north and south, the old man will discuss with the senior monks of Northern Shaolin. ”

Master Yuanjue and the monks knew that the former abbot of Southern Shaolin had always been true to his word. Since he said so, if the monks persuade each other again, not only will it have no effect, but it will also annoy him.

Master Yuanjue and the monks secretly made up their minds in their hearts, and asked several other ancestors to come out and speak, so as to dispel Master Ran's idea of bitterness, so as not to bury his bones in another country. (To be continued.) )
