[Comprehensive martial arts] Holy Monk

However, after Fang Tianzhi returned to Jiazhou, he went to repair the Buddhist Pavilion of the Great Maitreya Buddha in Lingyun Temple by himself, and it took about half a month.After the damaged part of the Buddha Pavilion was repaired, he bid farewell to the monks of Lingyun Temple, and with a lot of reputation and experience points, he led the tiger to the east to play.However, as soon as he left Jiazhou, he suddenly remembered the matter of sending a letter to the teacher's gate earlier.

Yu Sanxia of the Wudang School was injured by the powerful King Kong finger, and he became a useless person. This is a great thing. Shaolin Temple has been carrying this unjust case for many years and has not been cleared of the crime. They were all unreasonable and angry, and now they don't know what's going on.The left and right Chengdu Mansions are not far from here, so he first turned around and headed north, intending to go to the sub-helm of the Jinhuan Escort Bureau to inquire.

The road was only two or three days away, and others rushed to the place.The members of the Jinhuan Escort Bureau had already recognized him, and when they saw him coming, they were very enthusiastic and immediately regarded him as a guest of honor.Fang Tianzhi asked the man at the door to welcome him respectfully and joyfully to the Flower Hall of the Second Courtyard. Before he could sit down and have a sip of tea, the head of the sub-helm and escort came out to welcome him.The man's name was Qian Yue, and he and Wang Chuangong fought bloody battles against the bandits in blue in the backyard. Now he was wearing a brand new indigo jacket, and he was no longer in the same mess as before, but one arm was still hung by a white cloth. He was seriously injured and is still not fully recovered.

When he saw Fang Tianzhi, he bowed down with one hand, and said with great enthusiasm: "Xiao Ke Qian Yue, I pay my respects to Master Yuanyi!"

Fang Tianzhi hastily helped him up, and said: "Escort Qian is too polite, the poor monk didn't invite me, so I need to ask Escort Qian to take care of me!"

Qian Yuedao: "Jinhuan Escort is looking forward to the master, and Xiao Ke also admires the master's demeanor very much. He only wishes to see him day and night, so how can he take care of it!"

Fang Tianzhi saw that going on like this, he could talk politely back and forth for an entire afternoon, so he quickly changed the subject: "The poor monk came here this time because of the two monks in Tsing Yi that day."

Qian Yue came to his senses immediately, and said anxiously: "Master is one step too late." After speaking, he told the matter one by one.

It turned out that after Fang Tianzhi asked his senior brother Yuanye to deliver the letter that day, Yuanye knew that the matter was serious, so he rushed back to the temple to report to the elders all day and night.The presiding abbot, Kong Hearing the letter, and hearing Yuanye's description of the two people's situation one by one, couldn't help but think of a past event in the early years.

More than 100 years ago, there was a fire worker in Shaolin Temple who secretly learned martial arts. He had a deep grudge against the whole temple. The worker monk then ran away, and no one could be found from all over the world. The whole temple was in chaos.After this incident, the vitality of Shaolin Temple was severely injured, and it had to close the temple to recuperate, and stayed away from the world for decades.

Later, I vaguely heard that it seems that the fire worker Toutuo fled to the Western Regions and established the Vajra Gate.The Western Regions are so far away, and this matter has been happening for several generations, so no one thought of it in the early years.

After discussing with the elders in the temple, they immediately sent someone to Mount Wudang to deliver a letter, inviting people from the Wudang faction to go to Chengdu to ask questions.The Wudang faction saw the letter and knew that Shaolin Temple could not make fun of such a thing. Yin Liting, who was ranked sixth among the Seven Heroes, immediately led the order to join the Shaolin Temple. The Jinhuan Escort Bureau interrogated the blind monk in Tsing Yi overnight, and learned that he was indeed a disciple of the Vajra Sect in the Western Regions, worshiped under the sect of the elder Gang Ji in the temple, and served the court together with his dead senior brother.

He also learned that the monks of the Vajra Sect should practice the hard skills of the outer sect of Shaolin, and the Great Vajra Fingering is one of the unique skills.

As soon as the matter was cleared up, Kong Zhi was furious, he immediately beat the monk in green to death, discussed with Yin Liuxia from the Wudang sect, and planned to go to the Vajra Gate to ask for an explanation.It is said that the founder of the King Kong sect was a rebel monk from Shaolin Temple, and he has already formed a sect of his own for more than 100 years. His sect injured Sanxia Yu of the Wudang sect, and has nothing to do with Shaolin Temple.But Shaolin Temple has been blamed for this matter for a long time, everyone is bitter, and now although it is known that there are people in the Vajra Sect who practice the Great Vajra Fingering, the specific murderer is still unknown. Everyone is eager.

Not to mention Yin Liuxia, his seven senior brothers are brothers and sisters, and they went to Sichuan this time to find the enemy of the third senior brother and avenge him.He first wrote a letter to his master and entrusted a disciple of the third generation to send him back to the mountain, while he planned to go to the Western Regions with the monks from Shaolin Temple to be a vanguard.

After Qian Yue finished speaking, he said: "All the masters of your temple and Yin Liuxia of the Wudang School left Chengdu Mansion early this morning through the North City Gate. They said they were going to the Western Regions. You still have time."

When Fang Tian heard about such an important matter, he was worried, and he didn't care about going east to play anymore, so he bid farewell to Qian Yue and went to chase someone.Qian Yue knew this early on, so he ordered his bodyguards to arrange a good horse, as well as dry food and water bags to help him on the road.Fang Tianzhi didn't refuse, thanked Lingfeng, put one hand on Lingfeng's waist, and galloped away with the dazed white tiger on his horse.

Qian Yue sent him to the gate, he came back to his senses and said, he doesn't know how Master Yuanyi tamed a fierce tiger, he should ask about it some other day.

Besides, how could it be easy for Lingfeng to be held in such a support by Fang Tianzhi, Fang Tianzhi also complained secretly, deeply feeling that it would be inconvenient to take a tiger out.After the horse ran for more than ten miles, he saw a green mountain not far away. He remembered the road, first reined in the horse, put down the Lingfeng mountain, and said: "Go to the mountain. I will come back to find you again." .”

Lingfeng stood in place for a moment, saw Fang Tianzhi pointing towards the forest, looked back, and finally slipped his tail into the forest.

Fang Tianzhi felt a little lost in his heart, and wondered if he would be able to find it in the future.But as soon as this thought crossed his mind, he went on his way again. At dusk, a group of people and horses gradually appeared on the road in the distance.With a whistling sound, Fang Tianzhi urged the horse to gallop, causing the passers-by in front to stop and look back. When he got closer, he saw that the team was divided into two groups.

There were more than [-] brown-clothed monks in a group, many of them were familiar faces, the leader of an old monk was looking back at him, and saw that he was thin and small, with a sad face, and he looked more and more old. It is Zen Master Kongzhi, one of the four great monks in Shaolin.A young monk also recognized Fang Tianzhi, and couldn't help saying loudly: "It's Master Yuanyi!" There was joy in his voice, but it was because Fang Tianzhi was well-known in the temple, and most young monks of the Hui generation had He is an idol's fanboy, and seeing a real person at this time, he couldn't help being happy.

Before Fang Tian went to the Lema people, he first went to pay respects to Master Kongzhi, Kongzhi said: "Amitabha, it's good if you come, come with us to the Western Region." Introduced to him, "This is Yin Liuxia from the Wudang sect."

Fang Tianzhi then took a look and saw two or three people standing beside the monks, two of them were dressed as Taoist priests, and the remaining one was a very handsome young man, about 20 years old, tall and slender, like a monk. Such as green bamboo and cypress.He wears a stone green gown, carries a long sword on his back, has dark eyebrows and temples, and his eyes are as bright as lightning, and he has a three-pointed chivalry when he looks around.There is no cure for Fang's leader, Yan Kong. Seeing this impressive appearance, he first had a three-point favorable opinion, and said politely: "It turns out that it is the Six Heroes of Yin, a poor monk who has long admired his name."

Yin Liting smiled when he heard the words, and said politely: "Don't dare to be the master, the master is very elegant, and Yin Liu is very lucky to meet you today."

What he said was true, Fang Tianzhi had just come out of the rivers and lakes, and his reputation was far less than that of the Seven Heroes of Wudang.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Fang Tianzhi recognized the names of the two third-generation Wudang disciples, and the big guys got on their horses together and continued on their way, chatting while walking.Fang Tianzhi asked Kongzhi again: "Uncle Master, how is Master, the old man?"

Kongzhi drooped from the tip of his brows to the corners of his mouth, except when he was angry, he always looked sad.Wen Yan said: "Junior brother, everything is fine. You went down the mountain, everything is fine? Did you encounter any trouble?"

The relationship between Yuanyi and Master Kongzhi's uncle and nephew is fine, but at this time there are outsiders from the Wudang sect present, many things are inconvenient to talk about, so he didn't mention the injury, he just said: "I have been safe all the way. But by chance, I met two people who are very powerful in martial arts, one of them is called Yang Xiao, and the other calls him Yang Zuoshi, has Master ever heard of him?"

Kongzhi's expression changed immediately, and his two downturned white eyebrows stood up, he said with concern, "What? Yang Xiao? He is the left envoy of the Demon Cult, how did you meet this great demon?"

When Yin Liting heard about the Devil's Cult, he couldn't help turning his head and listening carefully.Fang Tianzhi replied: "He had a bad relationship with the people of the Emei Sect. The disciple met him by chance and gave a little help."

Kong Zhi said: "Oh, with your martial arts, how about fighting against him?"

Fang Tianzhi pondered for a moment and said: "He and his disciples are only brothers and sisters, the outcome is unknown." He didn't say that he was injured, but it was difficult to explain the reason at first, for fear of affecting Ji Xiaofu's reputation, and secondly In the future, it will also affect the uncle's judgment on Yang Xiao's martial arts.But he made such a conclusion, which surprised Yin Liting who was on the side.

Yin Liting is still young, although he doesn't know Yang Xiao, but he has traveled the rivers and lakes for many years and knows the quality of the devil's religion. Since Yang Xiao is a big devil, one can imagine his high martial arts.The monks of the Shaolin sect are notoriously late bloomers, and they can only master martial arts at the age of 50 or [-]. Everyone in the world knows it. How can this young monk compete with the left envoy of Guangming?

But Kong Zhi heard that, although he was slightly surprised, he was used to it, and he was slightly happy and said: "That's good, it seems that your kung fu has improved again."

Yin Liting saw his uncle and nephew talking so calmly, he couldn't help being even more astonished, but in his heart Tianzhi's attitude was much more serious, and he didn't dare to take it lightly.

Kong Zhi asked again: "Who is that other person?"

Fang Tianzhi replied: "Yang Xiao called him the Bat King, presumably he is also a member of the Demon Cult."

Kong Zhi nodded: "Then it must be Wei Yixiao, the Green Winged Bat King. He is one of the Four Great Dharma Kings of the Demon Sect, and his martial arts are also very powerful. If you have enmity with him, you should be more careful when you walk in the world in the future." Prudence is."

Fang Tianzhi said: "Disciple remembers."

After that, the group traveled during the day and rested at night, and went straight along the Qilian Mountains and out of Yumen Pass.After traveling for several months, the further to the northwest, the colder the weather, the green mountains and green waters gradually turned into Xiongfeng grasslands, the foothills were covered with ice and snow, with the howls of the strong wind, the withered grass flew all over the sky, carrying snow particles and hitting everyone, Fang Tian Zhi and Kongzhi have superb internal skills, but they can bear it. The others had to buy jackets or cloaks to wrap around their bodies to keep out the cold.

After that, the air of spring gradually overwhelmed the winter, and when everyone left Yumen Pass, the weather turned warm again, as if it was early April.Going further west, you can see the sea-like Gobi Desert as far as your eyes can see. The powdery sand and gravel are dry and yellow, mixed with stars and snow, extending to the horizon, connecting with the blue sky.On the vast desert, sometimes a piece of flat sand is endless, and sometimes there are countless wind-eroded Yadans erected far and near, with strange shapes and strange shapes.If an oasis comes by chance, a big city will inevitably be built.

After going back for dozens of days, everyone has almost arrived at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. The weather is getting hotter and hotter during the day, and emerald green holly grows here and there in the desert, and the yellow flowers between the leaves are extremely eye-catching.In the distance, you can gradually see the snow-capped mountains stretching and rolling, and occasionally there is a green field with water, and the tall Populus euphratica and Haloxylon trees on the side seem to have sprouted green shoots.On this day, everyone walked until noon, and finally saw another city. When they walked to the gate of the city, they saw the word Huozhou written side by side in Mongolian, Uighur, and Chinese. state city.It is said that the Vajra Gate is on the edge of the Qixing Lake near the big city, and it can be reached in one day.When everyone entered the city, seeing the bustling crowds, the loneliness and depression on the road could not help but be diluted a lot, and they all cheered up.

At this time it was approaching noon, they had been walking for half a day, they were quite hungry, Shaolin monks were always frugal, they did not go to restaurants to buy food, but found a clean and shaded roadside, sat on the ground one after another, took out the dry food in their pockets to eat up.Although Yin Liting was young, the atmosphere on Wudang Mountain was always simple, so he didn't think it was too hard. He ate and drank with the monks along the way, and his complexion was normal, which was admired by everyone.

Fang Tianzhi sat in the middle of the monks with a calm face, drinking clear water, chewing dry biscuits, feeling miserable, but he had to bear it with all his might.You must know that the trip to the Western Regions in the past few months has been a long way, and many of them have passed through the desert and Gobi. The roads are not to mention green vegetables, and even clear water is tight.If he wasn't really hungry, he would have vomited the pancake, let alone eat it.Master Fang felt that he had lost all oil and water, and for the first time in his life, he had a strong urge to eat meat. He, a young man, now needs to supplement protein and vitamin C!

And Uncle Kongzhi is really good at finding a place!A group of bald heads are squatting at the door of other restaurants to eat, aren't you afraid of affecting their business!Even if it doesn't affect it, what's the matter with the smell of meat wafting in waves, just eat it!

Too much! !

He took another bite of the pancake, his eyes wandered, and suddenly he saw a person standing up from the restaurant across the street.The man was about fifteen or sixteen years old, he seemed to be a teenager, and he was dressed like a Mongolian.Fang Tian didn't even look at it, but when he took a look, he saw the young man walking towards him, his red phoenix eyes fixed on him.

Um?what's the situation?

Just as Fang Tianzhi swallowed the big cake, the boy had already walked up to him and stood still.Fang Tianzhi raised his head slightly, and saw that his robe was embroidered with gold, black gauze corrugated hat on his head, black hair hanging around his neck was slightly curly, and he had brown skin, slender eyebrows and cold eyes, as if he was difficult to get along with.He looked at it and smelled the smell of meat again. He looked down and saw that this Mongolian boy was holding a small machete inlaid with gemstones in one hand and a cooked dog leg in the other.

Fang Tianzhi felt that his eyes were turning green, so he quickly recited Amitabha Buddha in his heart.

As soon as he finished reading, the young man suddenly spoke Chinese, not very proficient: "I saw the master sitting on the ground, swallowing dry cakes, life is very hard. I want to share the meat with the master and eat."

The monks couldn't help frowning when they heard the words, Fang Tianzhi couldn't figure out what the young man meant for a while, and seeing that he was dressed like a Mongolian nobleman, he said: "The monks don't eat meat and fish. The kindness of the benefactor, the poor monk appreciates it."

The young man let out an "oh" and said again: "So that's the case. Since we met each other by fate, I have a question, please ask the master."

Fang Tianzhi said calmly, "Excuse me, benefactor."

The young man smiled slightly: "Master, is the monk better than the dog, or the dog better than the monk?"

As soon as his words came out, all the monks were angry, but the monks of the Hui generation were juniors in front of Fang Tianzhi, and this young man was trying to fight with him in his words, but they were not easy to intervene for a while, and Kong Zhi just sat there. On the side, chewing his cake as if he had never heard of it.Beside him, Yin Liting and his two nephews also couldn't help frowning, looking sideways.

Fang Tian said sincerely, even dog meat can't stop your mouth, I eat my cakes, how much hatred and grievances, I have to find trouble, right!

But he didn't know that this young man was named Tuhei Lu Timur, and he was the seventh-generation grandson of Genghis Khan in terms of identity. His father was also the great khan of the Chahatai Khanate, and his territory covered the fire under everyone's feet. state city.Nowadays, there are signs of East-West split in the Chahatai Khanate, and internal struggles continue. When he was young and frivolous, he traveled eastward from the Aksu area when he had nothing to do, and he arrived at Huozhou City today.Huozhou was the capital of the ancient Gaochang Kingdom. Due to repeated wars, it changed hands several times. Various ethnic groups migrated and gradually mixed and mixed together. Their religious beliefs are already diverse. There are many Chinese Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, Mani religion and other sects.

Bald Hei Lu Timur grew up in the Western Regions since he was a child, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, he also knew many sects, but he didn't believe in them yet.Today I saw Fang Tianzhi meditating by the side of the road, seeing this monk's majestic appearance, so I wanted to talk to him, most of the words were provocative, but at the same time, I wanted to hear if he really had any insights.

But Fang Tianzhi thought for a while, opened his mouth and said slowly: "A monk is no better than a dog, and a dog is no better than a monk."

The bald black Lu Timur laughed and said: "So that's the case. A monk is like a dog. I can eat dog meat. It seems that I am much better than a monk."

A monk of the Hui generation couldn't restrain himself any longer when he heard the words, and said angrily, "What are you talking about!"

The bald black Lu Timur didn't even look at him, he just looked at Fang Tianzhi with a smile on his face, and was about to turn around and walk away, when Fang Tianzhi also laughed and said, "No way. You must know that a monk believes in Buddhism, although he is no better than a dog. , but stronger than you."

The bald black Lu Timur's face suddenly turned cold, and the hand holding the jeweled scimitar moved slightly, but he restrained himself, and only asked, "Master, what does this mean?"

Under the shade of a tree, Fang Tianzhi said in a gentle voice, "Just because you can kill a dog, doesn't mean you are better than a dog. A tiger will also be killed by a jackal. Is it possible that a jackal is better than a tiger? Besides, there are no birds or beasts. Flowers, birds, insects and fish, people will starve to death, so where is the strength? If you look at it this way, all living beings are equal. So poor monks are no better than dogs."

The bald black Lu Timur looked at him and asked again: "Then why are you better than me?"

Fang Tianzhi also looked at him: "A person is stronger than others, not to kill them, but to be kind to them. The strong man takes care of the weak, and the great monarch allows his people to live a life full of food and clothing. There is not even a hungry dog ​​on the road." He put the cake on his lap, put his hands together, and said the Buddha's name, "The poor monk has converted to the Buddha, and he has compassion in his heart, and wants to use his life to save sentient beings from suffering. , this upholds the will of the Buddha, and is much stronger than those who wantonly kill everything. Therefore, I am stronger than you."

As soon as his words fell, all the monks of the Hui generation felt emotional, they couldn't help but put down the bread in their hands, clasped their hands together, and said in unison: "Amitabha!" Seeing so many supporters, the atmosphere was very good, Fang Tian couldn't help but finally said with a smile : "There is no definite number between strong and weak, the benefactor is not stronger than anyone, and he is also stronger than anyone!"

The bald black Lu Timur was slightly moved. As the son of King Khan, he was a superior person, so he didn't only focus on one person and one thing.At present, the imperial court is in decline, and there are rebellions among the people everywhere, and the Chahatai Khanate is also fighting endlessly, and the split is imminent.How to maintain a huge empire?How to unify disputes and make the people long-term stable?After a moment of silence, he said politely: "The master is right. I have been taught. I would like to believe in Buddhism in the future." After speaking, he took two steps back, turned around and left.

The bald black Lu Timur did not know his name, and no one knew his identity.No one expected that he would inherit the Khan of the Eastern Chahatai Khanate in the future, and in his lifetime, the Western Expedition ended the east-west division of Chahatai and unified the Khanate.In another 16 years, he forced the people under his rule to believe in Chinese Buddhism. Although he did not slaughter the Muslims, he expelled them from the country and destroyed countless Islamic temples, causing them to lose their vitality in the south of the Tianshan Mountains. Gained a lot of experience points.

This is a later story, at this moment, Fang Tianzhi watched him go back to the opposite restaurant to sit down, and picked up cakes with everyone to eat.After eating, a few people left Huozhou City and headed north towards Huoyan Mountain. On the way, Yin Liting talked and laughed with him: "Master Yuanyi's words are exquisite and admirable."

Fang Tianzhi has been bored on the road for the past few months, so he often chatted with him to relieve boredom. The two of them had become acquainted, and now they also smiled and said: "Thanks to the favored eyes of the Six Heroes of Yin, the poor monk only has a little understanding of Buddhism, and he only asks about it." It’s all on my head.” After chatting for a few more words, the sun became more and more venomous, and the yellow sand was as bright as gold, causing smoke to rise from the top of the big guy’s head. At this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared in the western desert, After a short time, they met with the crowd, all of them were wearing bamboo hats and short jackets in green clothes, all of them were tall and tall, with fierce and vigilant expressions.

The people from the two sides looked at each other without making a sound. Fang Tian and the others looked over one by one. After a dozen or so people passed their gazes, they fell on a large wooden box carried by two people.The wooden box is exquisitely carved and inlaid with copper. It is wide and big, as if it can accommodate a person to sit upright in it. Around the keyhole, several small round holes have been chiseled out. I don't know what to do with it. .

He was about to look away when he saw a finger sticking out from the round hole.

Those fingers were slender and long, slender and weak, and the skin was as white and greasy as jade, and when it was exposed to the sun, it almost glowed.

Fang Tianzhi was stunned for a moment, he didn't have time to think about it, he jumped off the horse, and within two or three steps he was in front of the big box.His figure was as fast as a shadow, and there was not a single footprint on the sand. Before the man in green who was carrying the suitcase could react, he raised his arm and pressed on the cross bolt of the suitcase. There was a sharp pain in his shoulder, and he uttered two screams of "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

When this happened, the people on both sides were startled and inexplicable, the leader of a man in Tsing Yi suddenly reacted, drew out a long knife and said sharply: "Where is the bald donkey, how courageous!" Before he finished speaking, Fang Tianzhi With his finger like a knife, he slashed down towards the copper lock on the box with a light and graceful movement, and the finger fell off the lock in an instant.

He raised his hand to open the lid of the big box, and the sunlight shone into the box and fell on a girl in white.The girl raised her head, and the bright light shone everywhere, everyone, no matter the enemy or us, were all stunned on the spot.

After a while, the people in Tsing Yi all raised their knives and rushed forward.And everyone also reacted, knowing that the one who hid the girl in the big box and took it away must not be a good person, they all dismounted from their horses, and fought with the man in Tsing Yi.
