[Comprehensive martial arts] Holy Monk

When everyone left Wan'an Temple, they saw a large sedan chair with eight carriages parked on the wide road in front of the temple gate, and dozens of servants waiting around with vermilion gauze lanterns in their hands, dimly illuminating the green trees and autumn flowers on both sides.

Zhao Mindang walked down the steps step by step, saw the sedan chair groaning slightly, and said: "Go and bring the horse."

The fan monks of Wan'an Temple heard the words and immediately sent people to do it. After a while, they brought out six or seven hussars from the side door. The martial arts masters around Zhao Min each got one, and Fang Tianzhi and Xuan Ming were among them. The second elder's mount is the most handsome.It has only been half an hour since Fang Tianzhi showed up at Wan'an Temple, and the attitude of these monks towards him has changed greatly. It seems that there are many people at the foot of the imperial city who are good at trying to figure out what is right and flattering.

Zhao Min glanced at the appearance of the horse, as if he was quite satisfied, he signaled for the empty sedan chair to go first, then got on the horse himself, and walked side by side with Fang Tianzhi.Fang Tianzhi looked back and saw that although Xuan Ming and the others urged their horses to keep up, they were still a few meters behind them, and even further back, they followed a few foot servants holding the lanterns of the palace.

Seeing this, Fang Tianzhi held the reins of the horse, and let the horse walk away from Zhao Min's body, leaving her a full distance of one zhang, and there was almost traffic between the two of them.

Zhao Min rolled his eyes at him and said, "What are you doing so far away from me?"

Fang Tianzhi said indifferently: "The poor monk and the princess are not fellow travelers, so there is no need to get too close."

Zhao Min clapped her hands with a smile, and said sarcastically, "As expected of an eminent monk in Shaolin Temple, Zhao Min admired her puns." She had five or six words to retort, but she didn't say them out. "Then, if a few assassins with good martial arts suddenly rushed out to kill me at this moment, what would you do?"

Fang Tianzhi said: "The poor monk has his own way to deal with it."

Zhao Min looked at him sideways, and said: "Yes. You are very good at lightness kungfu. Back then, I imitated the ancestor of Bodhidharma and crossed the river with a reed. Thousands of troops and horses floated away. What's the difference between a mere ten feet and a few feet away? ?”

Fang Tianzhi paused, ignoring her words, "If the Princess is worried about her safety, she might as well ask her masters to gather around, so that nothing will go wrong."

Zhao Min heard the words and said angrily: "I just don't. I want to rush out an assassin and stab me to death. That would be good. You are not a thousand gold promises. It depends on what you will do then!"

Fang Tianzhi said expressionlessly: "If the assassin can defeat the poor monk and stab you, I can only blame you for being unlucky."

Zhao Min rode beside the horse with a pretty face, and didn't open his mouth again until he turned another street, "No matter what I do, in your eyes, I will be uneasy and kind. If I make the second elder Xuanming and others walk with you, A caring person saw it by chance, wouldn’t you suspect that you have taken refuge in the imperial court and worked with him? You walked with me, and others saw it, but there are other reasons to think about. It’s really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, and he doesn’t know a good heart.”

Fang Tianzhi glanced at her upon hearing this, and remained silent.

Zhao Min didn't hear his answer, and couldn't help but look at him, "Don't you have anything to say?"

Fang Tianzhi said: "Everything started today because of you. Does the poor monk still remember your feelings?"

Zhao Min smiled and said: "I know that you are a gentleman, and you are the most honorable person. That's why you kept your promise today and agreed to do this first thing for me. People like you are also the best to deal with. , because if you want to deal with you, you don’t need to kill your life, you just need to destroy your reputation.” She paused, and said quietly, “But I only want you to agree to this matter, but I don’t want to destroy your reputation. .I don’t want you to remember my love, it’s fine if you don’t hold grudges against me in your heart.”

When she said this, the affection in it did not need to be expressed clearly, and everyone who heard it knew it.So Fang Tianzhi frowned, and finally sighed: "Princess, poor monk and..."

Zhao Min seemed to know what he was going to say, suddenly changed the topic, and said sweetly: "Monks don't tell lies, do they?"

Fang Tianzhi was silent for a moment, and did not forcefully bring up the topic just now, so he replied, "Naturally."

Zhao Min asked: "Just now Wei Yi said with a smile, you once saved someone from Yang Xiao, who was that person?"

Fang Tianzhi said: "This is related to his boudoir reputation, how can he talk about it indiscriminately?"

Seeing that he defended everything in his words, Zhao Min inexplicably felt jealous again. For some reason, she suddenly felt that the matter was not as simple as saving people, so she chased after him and said, "Yang Xiao coveted the position of leader in the early years, and spent many years in Kunlun. Living in seclusion, in order to hold the real power in his hands, he will definitely not leave too far away from Guangmingding. A person like him has always had a high vision, and the woman he can never forget should not be an ordinary fan. This woman does not want to follow him , either he is not a member of the Jianghu, or he is against his position." She looked at Fang Tianzhi's expression, "You are afraid that if I know her name, it will hinder her reputation, is it possible that I can recognize it? Not far from Kunlun , the character is exquisite; if I recognize her and it is not good for her, could it be that she is a disciple of the Emei Sect?"

Zhao Min made random guesses, and there were many loopholes in it, obviously it was just a bold assumption.Fang Tianzhi knew that she was very clever, if he really refuted her one by one, he gave her a chance to carefully verify it.He thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "The princess doesn't need to guess, no matter how you try, the poor monk will not pay attention to a word."

Zhao Min turned to ask: "Then how did you save her? When did it happen?"

Fang Tianzhi said: "Monks don't tell lies, but poor monks don't have to."

Seeing that he didn't eat oil and salt, Zhao Min was so angry that he slammed his whip and said angrily, "Fang! You're cheating!"

Fang Tianzhi just wanted to ask, "How do you know my lay family name?"

Zhao Min immediately responded, "I won't tell you."

Fang Tian thought to himself, with her status and power, it might not be difficult to check his secular background.What's more, she obviously has internal support in Shaolin Temple, and her life experience is not a secret in the temple.Then he didn't care about it any more, and just said: "The poor monk became a monk, and he has already cut off his secular relationship. Don't mention his old name."

Seeing that he had made a request, Zhao Min felt that he had taken the initiative again, so she said cheerfully and coquettishly: "I don't. From now on, I will call your surname Fang. Fang Tianzhi, Fang Tianzhi, Your name is not bad, but as a person, it’s a bit unsatisfactory.”

Fang Tianzhi heard her gossip, he couldn't help but cast a cold look at her, and sang awe-inspiringly: "Amitabha!"

Why hasn't Ruyang Palace arrived yet!

This woman bullying the poor monk can't be destroyed!

It really makes no sense!

Seeing from this side, Zhao Min made him a little unhappy, and then said very naturally: "Okay. If you don't want to listen to this, then let's talk about the principles of your Buddhism."

As soon as the hat was buttoned off, Fang Tianzhi still had to accept it, and said, "Please tell me."

Zhao Min thought for a while and asked: "If one day, the master is walking by the river, he suddenly hears someone calling for help in the water, will you save him or not?"

Fang Tianzhi said: "Naturally, we must be rescued."

Zhao Min continued to ask: "If he is a big bad person, and you saved him in ignorance, wouldn't you have done something evil instead?" There was a bit of mockery in her tone, "Why didn't you ask him to tell the story of his life before saving him? , to see if he has done any evil deeds; or ask his ancestors for eight generations to see if there are any Mongols?"

Fang Tianzhi said calmly: "Saving people is like putting out a fire, how can we delay so much? If he is a good person, he should die when he meets a poor monk; if he is a bad person, he will reap the consequences of his own evil, and it is not just about falling into the water? The sky net is restored, Good people will be rewarded with good things, and evil people will be rewarded with bad things!"

Zhao Min said disapprovingly: "He was rescued by you, maybe he killed seven or eight real good people that day, how can a good person get any good reward here?"

Fang Tianzhi asked back: "He was rescued by me, maybe he repented that day and saved seven or eight real good people. Wouldn't the good people have good rewards here? There will be no certain number of you and me tomorrow, How can you do evil and sinners without doing it?"

Zhao Min said: "How about the people he harmed before?"

Fang Tianzhi replied: "When I rescued him, I didn't know his past. If I know in the future, I can punish him as much as I can."

Zhao Min thought for a while, and then asked: "What if after you save him, you know that he is a wicked person, but at that time he has repented, and spent the rest of his life doing good deeds to redeem his sins, so what?" She smiled slightly, "If you let him go If he has passed him, what should he do to those who have been harmed by him before?"

Fang Tianzhi couldn't help being stunned when he heard this.

Before he went to the underworld, he had lived for more than thirty years.Serving as the leader of the demon sect all his life, how many people will he harm?Now that he has repented, he intends to use several reincarnations to do good deeds and accumulate virtue to redeem his sins, but what should he do to those who were harmed by him before?

He was lost in thought for a moment, and finally said softly: "The poor monk doesn't know, whether he should be forgiven or not. He should not ask the poor monk whether he will be forgiven or not, but the person he is sorry for." He couldn't help but fold his hands together and sigh Tone, "You should ask the Buddha."

Zhao Min asked stubbornly: "I don't ask the Buddha, I only ask you. If you are, will you forgive him?"

Fang Tianzhi hesitated for a moment, and said: "Poor monk... Poor monk is willing to forgive him, ... to make him atone for his sins."

The two of them were speechless for a while, and when the night was quiet, the green trees and autumn flowers, white walls and plain tiles on the street were all softly covered by the moonlight, and their shadows were hazy.

Looking at his side face lit by the gauze lamp, Zhao Min saw that he was melancholy for some reason, and couldn't help asking: "You haven't answered me yet, what if that person is a Mongolian?... What if that person is me?"

Fang Tianzhi cast a glance at her, but saw a hint of daze in her eyes, and then thought why she asked such a question.It's just that things hurt their kind. Hearing this description, he thought of himself.

During his silence, Zhao Min couldn't help but continued: "The ancestors are numerous, and there is a difference between Han and Mongolia in their eyes, which has caused many people to suffer. It's just that today, Mongolia has ruled the Central Plains for decades, and there are many people in the court. People of insight have already seen the disadvantages of this, and they have the intention of reform. In time, regardless of Han and Mongolia, people all over the world can live and work in peace and contentment. If you don’t fight against the imperial court in the future, you don’t have to fight any more, and you don’t need to die any more; when the imperial court reforms and protects the Han people, after hundreds of years, how can we have any enmity?”

Fang Tianzhi sighed, and said: "If the Han and Mongols are to turn hostility into wealth, wouldn't it be better for the Mongols to withdraw from the Central Plains and return to the north?" He cryptically advised, "The wicked can do good again, and the princess can't do it." Are the Mongols gone? Since the princess already has a position, why should she do so?"

Zhao Min smiled slightly, with a hint of sadness in his expression.But she felt embarrassed, and turned her face away in an instant, still refusing to give up and said: "I, a mere little girl, can't decide the affairs of the court. It's just that you haven't answered me yet. If that person is like me, you To save or not to save?"

Fang Tianzhi hesitated again, and said for a while, "The poor monk will save me."

Zhao Min asked again: "Then do you forgive her?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the two turned around a street, and saw the door of a luxurious mansion in the long alley with red walls.Green steps are built in front of the gate, stone lions are erected, and four bright red gauze lamps hang high above, with the words "Ruyang Prince's Mansion" written on it.

Before the crowd could get close, a small vermilion lacquer door on the left side of the mansion gate suddenly opened, and a group of servants came out with lanterns in hand, and came forward in the blink of an eye.A middle-aged man in a brocade robe said: "The princess came back later today, and the prince and princess are worried about it, so I asked about it just now."

Zhao Min then put aside the topic at the beginning, and smiled at the brocade robed man: "Please trouble Manager Ha to come out to meet him personally, Father and the others have rested yet?"

Manager Ha said respectfully: "Welcome the princess, it should be due. The concubine is still paying respects to the Buddha, and the prince is now resting in the Fanglin courtyard."

Hearing this, Zhao Min showed a half-smile look on his face, and said: "In that case, then I will go to pay my respects to my father tomorrow." Then he asked, "Is brother back yet?"

Mr. Ha said, "The prince is back too, so it's about the matter with the princess." At this moment, he glanced at Fang Tianzhi and asked, "This great monk, how does the princess arrange it?"

Zhao Min thought for a while, and said: "This is my distinguished guest, let him live in a quiet and quiet courtyard. Don't mix with the Qing guests in the house, he doesn't like to make a lot of noise."

Fang Tianzhi listened to the conversation between the two of them for a while, as if he had settled on his residence.One of the clever servants came over to lead his horse, and said very politely: "Master, please follow me."

Fang Tianzhi got off his horse and saluted him eleven: "Thank you."

Zhao Min sat on the horse and looked at him, and said with a smile, "If you have any dissatisfaction, you can bring it up to Mr. Ha." at her feet.Zhao Min got off the horse as usual, threw the whip into the hands of the servants, turned to Xuan Ming and said, "Thank you two gentlemen for sending me off, I have to trouble you two about the Wan'an Temple."

The two elders Xuanming replied in unison: "Don't worry, the princess, the subordinates will go back now."

Zhao Min nodded, and told Mr. Ha: "Follow me to see Concubine Mother." At this time, Fang Tianzhi had entered the house with the servants in front of the lamp, and faintly heard her say a few more words, "Concubine Mother at night. What are you eating? Are you in good spirits today?" After passing around several doors and walls, the lights and sounds at the door disappeared, and Zhao Min didn't know where he went.

The two walked around the huge Ruyang Palace for a while, and the servant led him into a clean courtyard.Entering the gate of the courtyard, one can see gauze lamps hanging from the corridor, but it only dimly reflects the house, and one can vaguely see the delicate and elegant layout in it.A gust of wind blows by, still sending wisps of lotus fragrance from unknown origin.

The servant led him into the main hall, lit up the lamps again, and said: "Master, please rest in this courtyard, and I will send the servants to serve you later."

Fang Tianzhi immediately declined and said: "It doesn't have to be like this. It's a good intention, but the poor monk is used to being free."

The servant seemed to be used to seeing all kinds of weirdos, so he obeyed: "Then leave one person to live in the corner room in the courtyard, so that the master can order water for food."

Fang Tianzhi had no choice but to say, "Thank you."

But it was said that not long after Zhao Min returned to Ruyang Palace, Zhang Wuji and others rushed back to the inn where they stayed.Song Yuanqiao was trapped for several months, and he was poisoned by a strange poison. He was exhausted, so everyone stopped talking and sent him to the house to rest for tomorrow.

Zhang Wuji bid farewell to his subordinates, went back to his room and lay down, his mind was on the pagoda of Wan'an Temple at one moment, all his teachers and uncles at one moment, and Zhou Zhiruo's beautiful face at another.While he was disturbing himself, there was a soft sound by the window, he followed the sound, but saw the window sash being pushed open from the outside, and in the night, a red-haired and scarred Toutuo was looking at him.

Zhang Wuji recognized him as the person next to Zhao Min, so he couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly called Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao.That Tutuo was not in a hurry, but just looked at him quietly, and when everyone came together, he nodded, pointed in a direction, and took the lead to move away with lightness kung fu.
