Chapter 30: Vajra Gate Cause and Effect (II)
In the middle of the moon, it was already pitch black in the city of Yiwu, but outside the city, there was still a lot of noise in the King Kong Gate, the lights were bright, and the dining hall was staggered, and the laughter was noisy.
Some time ago, the news came back that the marshal of Batu was in the far west of the country, and the soldiers who accompanied the army were all rewarded, including the second-generation disciples of the sect, Zhida and Zhifang. It is reported that the two of them fought bravely under the gate of the capital of Georgia, wearing dozens of wounds and did not retreat in bloody battles, rushed into the city first, killed the gatekeepers, and captured the city gate, so they were appreciated by the commander of Batu, and were promoted to the commander of a thousand gold, rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, countless cattle and sheep slaves, and allowed him to return to his hometown to be raised. And today, it is the day when Zhifang Zhida returns to the sect, so there is a big feast in the door to celebrate its success.
Compared with the bustle of the front mountain, the quietness in the back mountain seems a little bleak. In a large building, only one small building was faintly lit.
Ding Yu pushed open the hidden door, only to see an old man sitting in a Taishi chair under a lonely lamp in the room. Although he was covered with a thick yak blanket, he could still see that the old man's thick skeleton was twice that of ordinary people, but it was a pity that the wrinkled and age-spotted skin on his hands exposed his weak physique. No one could have imagined that these hands had been able to crack tigers and leopards, and even shattered the internal organs of the Shaolin Dharma Hall Master.
Ding Yu sighed, no matter how profound the hard skills of the outer door are, if you can't practice from the outside to the inside, you will always be much worse than the inner family boxing method in terms of long-term vision and longevity. Back then, he made a big fuss in Shaolin, bloody all the way from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, and created the fire foreman Tuo who dominated the King Kong Gate with only his hands, and now he is just an old and decrepit seventy or eighty old man, compared to Ouyang Feng, Hong Qigong and other five peers, not to mention the old naughty boy who is getting older and stronger.
Seeing a burly young monk coming in, the fire foreman Tuo slowly turned his head and glanced at it, and said weakly: "Are you here to deliver medicine again?" Lao Tzu doesn't take the bitter medicine of Nalaoshizi, and my own body understands that taking any medicine will not work. You get out!"
Ding Yu not only did not exit, but closed the door and walked two steps closer. The fire foreman Tuo felt that something was wrong, and he looked at Ding Yu intently. He asked, "Are you a disciple of the fourth generation, how do you look at Mian Sheng, is your master Chang Ping or Chang Yong?"
Ding Yu clasped his hands together, bowed deeply, and said in his mouth: "Disciple Chang Hao, a traitor monk of King Kong Gate, has seen the ancestor of the fire worker!"
"Chang Hao?" The fire foreman pondered for a moment, then suddenly coughed twice, and said, "Is it the little monk who bit Chang Wei to death?" I remember, I personally issued a wanted warrant, cough cough, the reward is 1,000 taels or 3,000 taels? Are you coming back to take revenge?"
"Don't dare!" Ding Yu bowed his head and said, "Although the disciple is dull. But it can also be distinguished. If it weren't for the love of the firework patriarch back then, he ordered the disciples of the second generation and above to not make a move, and the disciples would have died long ago. Now the disciple has come back to repay the kindness owed back then. ”
As he spoke, he took out a thin booklet and a silver ticket from his bosom and said, "I remember that according to the rules of the Vajra Sect, the disciples of the sect need to pay five hundred taels of dedication silver to the sect after they leave the school. The disciple fled in a hurry and did not have time to pay. Now it's back tenfold. Here is a silver ticket of 5,000 taels, please accept it with a smile. ”
"In addition. The disciple knows that the firework patriarch has been regretted because he has not been able to learn the Shaolin authentic internal strength, this exercise is called "Jiuyang Shengong", which is the most superior Buddhist exercise, enough to be compared with the "Yijin Sutra", and the disciple obtained it from the Shaolin Tibetan Scripture Pavilion not long ago. Back then, the Vajra Gate passed on the disciple's martial arts, and now the disciple will return with this scripture. ”
Listened to these words. Even with the state of mind of the fire foreman Tuo, he couldn't help but change his complexion several times, he took the "Jiuyang Divine Skill" tremblingly, and flipped through a few pages under the oil lamp, his hands trembled uncontrollably. Long. He closed the book abruptly, his eyes turned to the sky, and the corners of his eyes seemed to be shining. I only heard him mutter: "Sure enough, it is indeed the most authentic Buddhism method! With this exercise, my Vajra Gate may not be compared to Shaolin! God treats me well, let me see this secret book before I die, but I hate it in my heart!"
He suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Chang Hao, you have made great achievements in the King Kong Gate! If you are willing to reopen the entrance wall, I will ensure that you will be the next head of the King Kong Gate!"
Ding Yu didn't answer directly, but said: "Since the fireworking patriarch is willing to accept this exercise, then the disciple has one more condition. ”
"You say. ”
"The disciple learned that many of the disciples of Vajra Gate today have joined the Mongolian army, and I know that Vajra Gate is located in the Western Regions and has to be attached to Mongolia. However, this is a divine skill from the Central Plains after all, and the disciples don't want it to become a sharp weapon for slaughtering the people of the Central Plains. Therefore, the disciple hopes that the Patriarch of the Fire Gong can make all the disciples of the King Kong Sect who have passed on the "Jiuyang Divine Skill" swear that he will never help foreign races to invade my Central Plains in the future, otherwise the martial arts will be lost, and the muscles and bones of the whole body will be turned into powder!"
The fire foreman Tuo lost his mind for a while, he was also from the Song Dynasty, although he had been in the foreign land for many years, he always regarded himself as a Song person. Therefore, since the beginning of the Mongol-Song war, he strictly restricted his disciples from joining the Mongol army. However, as more and more small sects and factions joined the Mongolian army, their status increased rapidly, and the King Kong Gate began to be excluded and bullied by all kinds in Yiwu City, and the disciples complained and the people's hearts were discouraged. Moreover, the older the fire foreman Tuo became, the weaker his combat power became, and he gradually couldn't suppress the opposition in the door. So he could only retreat and allow his disciples to join the Mongol army, but he could only join the eastern, western, and northern routes, and could not join the army that invaded the Song Dynasty on the southern route.
But the fire foreman Tuo knew that when he was alive, maybe Yu Wei was enough to restrain his subordinates, but once he died, there were many people from the Western Regions, Tubo and even the grassland in the King Kong Gate, and they had no feelings for the Great Song Dynasty, and they couldn't say when they would help the invasion of the Song Dynasty. It was precisely because he understood this that he felt disheartened, and he only sat in the room all day long, unwilling to watch the Vajra Gate that he founded by himself finally go to the opposite side of his homeland.
Hearing Ding Yu's request, he felt quite embarrassed at first, but after all, he was a heroic figure who had been the master of the door for decades, and no matter how reckless he was back then, he had now experienced a lot of scheming methods. If you think about it, isn't this a great opportunity to reorganize the sect? In the loyal sect, those who are willing to take an oath will pass on their divine skills, and those who are half-hearted, and those who are unwilling to take an oath will not pass it on; those who keep their oaths after taking an oath will pass on them with further exercises, and those who are inconsistent in words and deeds will not pass them on. As long as you find a disciple who is interested in the Great Song Dynasty to inherit the secret book and the position of the head, then the King Kong Gate is still the former King Kong Gate!
Thinking of succeeding to the head, the fire foreman Tuo couldn't help but repeat Fang Cai's words: "You have made great contributions to the Vajra Gate, even if you don't become the head, you can also be a master monk first, and you can also personally supervise it at that time, so that the exercises will not flow into the hands of non-people." What do you think?"
Ding Yu smiled and shook his head: "Thank you for the kindness of the firework patriarch, since the ancestor has accepted the return of the disciple, then the cause and effect between the disciple and the Vajra Gate have been understood." After that, the disciple, no, the poor monk has nothing to do with the Vajra Gate. Although I have been away from the Western Regions for many years, I still remember the rules of the Western Regions: fists and scimitars. In the future, if a Vajra disciple does not keep today's oath, the poor monk will fulfill the oath with his own hands and take back the secret book. Fire foreman Tuo, the poor monk has retired!"
The fire foreman Tuo just shouted "stay", but felt a light breeze blowing, the lights in the room flickered, and when he looked again, the room was empty. The fire foreman Tuo sighed, opened the secret book in his hand with great care, turned on the lamp, and read it carefully. (To be continued.) )
