Xiao Yuanshan, Murong Bo father and son successively entered the Shaolin Temple, Deng Baichuan, Gongye Qian, Bao Wei, Storm Evil, and 18 Khitan warriors, all wanted to go up the mountain to help the master respectively, just moved their steps, only to hear Xuan Lonely shouting: "Stop in formation!" More than 100 Shaolin monks agreed in unison, lined up on the road, or horizontal Zen staff, or standing up with a knife, not letting everyone come forward. Xuan Silence said sharply: "My Shaolin Temple is a good place for Buddhism, not a private fight. Donors, please do not trespass. ”

Deng Baichuan and the others saw the momentum of the Shaolin monk, and knew that they couldn't rush through no matter what, although their hearts hung on the master, they had to stop. Bao Wei said: "Yes, yes! Shaolin Temple is a good place for Buddhism...... "He has always been easy to say, "Non-yes, non-yes!" This time it was actually changed to "Not bad, not bad!" People who knew him were surprised, but they listened to him go on to say: "... but a good place for the raising of illegitimate children. ”

As soon as he said this, hundreds of angry eyes shot at him. Bao is not bold and bold, knowing that there are many masters among the Shaolin monks, no matter which one of the senior monks of the Xuanzi generation, he is not an opponent, but he will say it if he wants to, and he has never been afraid. Hundreds of Shaolin disciples glared at him, and he also glared at him.

Xuan Ci said loudly: "The old man has violated the great precepts of Buddhism, which has hurt the reputation of Shaolin. Senior Brother Xuan, according to the precepts of this temple, how should he be punished?"

Xuan Shi hesitated: "This ...... Senior Brother ......"

Xuan Ci said: "The state has national laws, and the family has family rules. Since any sect and gang, clan and temple, it is inevitable that there will be unscrupulous disciples. The preservation of the reputation of the clear name is not to ask for no one to commit a foul forever, but to punish everything according to the law, and not to pretend. The law enforcement monk shall punish him with one hundred and thirty rods of the false bamboo rod, and one hundred rods shall punish him for his own transgression, and thirty rods shall be the one he is willing to receive on behalf of the teacher. ”

The law enforcement monk looked at the silence. Xuan Lin nodded. Xuzhu had already knelt down to receive the rod. The law enforcement monk immediately raised the torture staff and hit Xuzhu on his back and buttocks with a stick, only to hit his skin and flesh open, and blood splashed everywhere. Ye Erniang regretted it in his heart, but he was afraid of Xuanci's majesty and did not dare to intercede on his behalf.

Finally, after beating one hundred and thirty sticks, Xuzhu did not use his internal strength to resist, and he was so painful that he couldn't stand. Ye Xiao couldn't stand it, and floated over, the law enforcement monk wanted to stop him, but he was gently taken aside, and then he landed beside Xuzhu, and turned his true qi into five spirit true qi into Xuzhu's back and buttocks, but seeing that the wound was under the warmth of his five spirit true qi, the bleeding quickly stopped, and Xuzhu also felt most of the pain.

"Thank you, second brother. Xuzhu struggled.

Ye Xiao said with a smile: "Since you and I are brothers, these words will be exempted, if it weren't for your biological father who ordered the cane, I would have liked to see who in this Shaolin Temple dared to do something to you." ”

Although Ye Xiao's words were light, they were all in the ears of the heroes, and they were all surprised by Ye Xiao's arrogance, and the Shaolin monks were all angry, but without Xuan Ci's order, they just glared at Ye Xiao angrily.

Although Xu Zhu felt that Ye Xiao's words were inappropriate, he knew that his second brother felt sorry for him, so he could only remain silent.

Xuan Ci looked at Ye Xiao deeply, and then let the Buddha not hear what he said just now, and said to Xuzhu: "From this moment on, you are no longer a monk of Shaolin Temple." ”

Xuzhu wept and said, "Yes!"

Xuan Ci said again: "Xuan Ci has committed the precept of adultery, and he is guilty of the same crime as Xuzhu. As the abbot, the punishment is doubled. The law enforcement monk severely punished Xuan Ci with 200 sticks. Shaolin Temple's reputation is at stake, and it is not allowed to engage in malpractice. As he spoke, he knelt on the ground, facing the Buddha statue in the Daxiong Hall of Shaolin Temple, and lifted his monk's robe by himself, exposing his back.

The heroes looked at each other, and the abbot of Shaolin Temple was punished in public, which was really shocking and a big violation.

Xuan Xiao said: "Senior brother, you ......"

Xuan Ci said sharply: "My Shaolin Temple has a thousand-year-old reputation, how can it be worse than my hands?"

At this moment, a Buddha horn sounded, and an old monk slowly walked out of the Shaolin Temple, and many people recognized who the old monk was, and they were all surprised.

And a group of Shaolin disciples knelt down one after another, and Xuan Ci also said respectfully: "Disciple Xuan Ci has seen Uncle Kongwen!"

It turned out that this old monk was one of the four great monks of Shaolin, the Kongwen monk, who was the abbot of the previous generation of Shaolin Temple, and rarely showed up since he passed the abbot position to Xuan Ci.

Kong Wen said to Xuan Ci: "My Shaolin reputation must not be damaged, and this criminal law will be punished by Lao Wei himself." ”

Xuan Ci said: "Uncle Xie!"

Kong Wen walked to Xuan Ci's side, took the torture rod from the law enforcement monk's hand, and struck Xuan Ci on the back. Kong Wen didn't leave his hand at all, every stroke was flesh and blood, and in the sound of patting, Xuan Ci's back and thighs were already full of staff marks, and blood splashed the monk's robe.

Master Daoqing of Pudu Temple suddenly said: "Master Kongwen, your temple respects the precepts of Buddhism, the abbot is punished as one, and the poor monks are admired. It's just that Senior Brother Xuanci is old, and he refuses to use his skills to protect himself, but these two hundred sticks can't withstand it. The poor monk took the liberty of saying a favor, and now he has beaten eighty rods, and the rest will be written down for the time being. ”

Many of the heroes shouted and said, "Exactly, exactly, let's also ask for a favor." ”

Before he could answer, Xuan Ci said aloud: "Thank you for your kindness, but the precepts are like a mountain, and you can't be lenient." ”

And Kongwen didn't stop at all, still sticking to the meat.

Kankan beat more than forty rods, Xuan Ci couldn't support it, his hands on the ground were weak, and his face touched the dust. Ye Erniang cried: "The abbot must be blamed for this matter, it's all my fault! I was deceived by others and deliberately seduced the abbot." This...... This...... I'll take the rest of the sticks!" while crying, he ran forward to lie down on Xuan Ci and accept the rod on his behalf.

Xuan Ci pointed out with his left hand, and with a soft sneer, he had sealed her acupoint, and said with a smile: "Idiot, you are not a Buddhist nun, you can't break your love, what is the crime?" Ye Erniang stayed in the local area, unable to move, so she had to burst into tears.

After Xuan Ci stopped Ye Erniang, Kong Wen once again scolded with a staff, and finally after two hundred strokes of the staff, blood flowed all over the ground, and Xuan Ci reluctantly raised his true qi to protect his heart, so as not to faint in pain.

Kongwen said: "Although Xuan Ci has been punished, he has finally committed an unforgivable sin, so he resigned from the post of abbot of Xuan Ci today and was demoted to the monk of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. With that, he turned and returned to the temple.

Xuan Ci said with difficulty: "The disciple receives the order." ”

Immediately, Xuan Ci struggled to stand up, and pointed at Ye Erniang, trying to unlock her acupoint, but unexpectedly, after being seriously injured, it was difficult for the true qi to condense, but this finger did not take effect. Seeing this, Xuzhu hurriedly unlocked the acupoint for his mother. Xuan Ci beckoned to the two, and Ye Erniang and Xu Zhu walked to his side. Xuzhu hesitated, not knowing whether to call "Daddy" or "Abbot".

Xuan Ci stretched out his hand, grabbed Ye Erniang's wrist with his right hand, grabbed Xuzhu with his left hand, and said: "For more than 20 years, I have been hanging on your mother and son day and night, knowing that I have violated the great precepts, but I dare not repent to the monks, but today I can be liberated in one fell swoop, and from now on, I will have no fear, and I will be happy." ”

Ye Xiao had been observing Xuan Ci's condition, and suddenly felt that his internal strength had changed suddenly, knowing that he was probably going to choose suicide as in the original book, and immediately pointed out without hesitation, and actually sealed his sea of qi in the air. It stands to reason that Xuan Ci's martial arts are strong and his internal strength is profound, even if it is Ye Xiao, it is impossible to seal his qi sea so easily, but now Xuan Ci is not only unguarded, but also has just been tortured and his body is weak, so he won it in one fell swoop. As a result, the sea of qi was sealed, but Xuan Ci could no longer use his internal strength to destroy his heart.

The reason why Ye Xiao wanted to save Xuan Ci was naturally because of Xuzhu, although he didn't have much contact with Xuzhu, but he also knew that he was honest, and now that he was a righteous brother, if Xuan Ci committed suicide, with Ye Erniang's character, he would inevitably commit suicide, so that the family was finally reunited, and suddenly heaven and man were separated, but he couldn't bear to bear such pain from Xuzhu, who was only twenty-four years old. Speaking of losing his parents, why not?

Ye Xiao pointed to seal Xuan Ci's sea of qi in the air, and Xuzhu was the first to notice it, but he didn't understand why the second brother wanted to seal his father's sea of qi.

And Ye Xiao had already said loudly to Xuan Ci: "Master Xuan Ci, as the saying goes: A good man is a good man. What can you do if you lose the head of Shaolin? What if you have a bad reputation? If you are a true husband, why should you rely on your name to respect yourself? You are a true hero, and you have your own public opinion. Settle accounts, the master has been a bad leader for 30 more years, and a loving husband and wife for 30 years less, are you stupid or not? What is even more confused is that when you see your wife and children, you are actually happy to be liberated. Therefore, Master Xuanci forgives the younger generation for courage, and the master is selfish before and after, thinking more for himself and less for his wife and children. Now that the master has been reprimanded with the rod, he should be happy to get up, take his wife with one hand, pull the child with the other, and float away, that is the real husband, and it is not in vain that Ye Erniang has been in vain for more than 20 years, and the pain of losing her son to her husband can also make up for the suffering of the third brother for more than 20 years without a father and mother. But you want to kill yourself, saying that you are free, but you are really evading, are you really old and confused?!"

Ye Xiao's words were full of emotion, and he knocked on Xuan Ci's heart word by word. Qunxiong, Ye Erniang and Xuzhu looked dazed, and they didn't understand why Ye Xiao said this about Xuan Ci?

And Xuan Ci trembled slightly, suddenly sighed, and said: "Amitabha, the old man has been taught! Thank you Lord Ye for these words, it should be like a morning bell at dusk, and it should be a stick to drink." ”

Xuzhu reacted suddenly and said to Xuan Ci: "Dad...... Daddy, you...... You ......"

Xuan Ci looked at Xuzhu guiltily and said, "As Master Ye said, the old man just wanted to cut off his heart and evade responsibility. ”

Ye Erniang was shocked and cried: "No, never, if you die, I ...... I'm not alive anymore. ”

Xuan Ci was taken aback, and then thought that if he really died just now, I am afraid that Ye Erniang would really go with him. He bowed down abruptly to Ye Xiao and said, "Lao Wei once again thanks Master Ye, if it weren't for Master Ye's help, I'm afraid it would ...... I'm afraid that the old man will really commit another foolishness. ”

Ye Xiao was busy with his internal strength, held Xuan Ci up from afar, and said: "Master must not be like this, the younger generation and Ling Lang are righteous brothers, you should be the eldest of the younger generation, if you are like this, wouldn't you trap the younger generation in disloyalty and unfilial piety." ”

And Xu Zhu finally understood that the second brother sealed his father's sea of qi in order to save his father, so he immediately knelt down and said, "Second brother, I ......"

Ye Xiao didn't hold him up, and accepted it calmly, because he knew that if he held up Xuzhu, it would be hypocritical, after all, he and Xuzhu were righteous brothers, and they were brothers, and it was nothing to be bowed down by him, but he also interrupted his words and said: "Third brother, you and my brother, your parents are my parents, how can I see that my righteous father wants to die and not save it, please get up quickly." ”

Xuzhu nodded heavily, and then stood up.
