Poor monks do not break the precepts

Taking a horse-drawn carriage from Yaowang Valley, even if you rush to the east of Jishi Mountain, it still takes two days, but because of Huai Mingmo's urging, Xinli and Zheng Fengnian took over the driving, and it took less than a day and a half to reach Shaolin. Liu County in the northeast corner of Jishi Mountain.

When they arrived in Liu County, it was already dusk, so after discussing, everyone decided to stay in Liu County for one night, and then go to Shaolin in the early morning of the next day.Firstly, it is impolite to rush to Shaolin to disturb him at this time, and secondly, Huai Mingmo would like to thank Dr. Hu who helped him see a doctor more than a month ago.Who would have thought that the old mother of the sheriff of Gyeongju prefecture had a strange disease, so she specially invited Dr. Hu to go to see her doctor, but she couldn't come back within two or three days, so Huai Mingmo had no choice but to give up.

"You guys are so slow, the dishes I ordered are almost getting cold." Ji Deen didn't want Liu County to be a place of crouching tigers, hidden dragons, not only the doctors are superb in medicine, but even the cooks in the inn are as good as the big restaurants in the capital, so The table was filled without restraint.

Seeing the food for eight people in front of him, Xin Li almost fainted, thinking that the cousin was too extravagant and wasteful, so he gave Zheng Fengnian a vicious look, blaming him for not dissuading him.

"It's rare to come out, don't spoil your interest." Huai Mingmo understood his cousin's style, and said with a calm smile, "Sit down."

When Huai Mingmo said this, Xinli didn't want to complain too much, but as soon as he moved his chopsticks, he was attracted by two women at the table not far away, "Although these two are Han Chinese, their clothes look like they are from the Western Regions."

Ji Deen turned his head and peeked at the past, and was immediately stared back viciously, and said in a low voice: "You have a bad temper."

"Look innocently at her girl, it's polite not to drag you to the government." Zheng Fengnian tapped Xinli on the hilt of his sword, "I'll still watch."

"Eat and rest early, and tomorrow we have to visit Shaolin." Huai Mingmo said flatly, the closer he got to Shaolin, the more restless he became.

In the past, Ji Deen went to Shaolin to avoid many etiquettes, and often went directly to Wuwangya from the back mountain, but this time there are indeed many people going to Shaolin. , to avoid being slandered, saying that the Hermitage Villa has no rules.Thinking of the serious appearance of his cold-faced father, Ji Deen immediately restrained his appearance of a playboy, and hurriedly finished eating. After finishing their dinner hastily, they went back to their houses for an early rest.

The stone plaque of Shaolin's main entrance is located less than two miles away from the west gate of Liuxian County. Liuxian County is the ultimate road leading to Qingzhou Prefecture. There are usually many cars and horses coming and going, but no one in the martial arts dares to come here to cause trouble.

This morning, something strange happened. Before dawn, there was a loud sound of weapons clashing outside the inn. Huai Mingmo had been sleeping lightly, and he woke up suddenly and sent Xin Li to investigate. Treasure map hands up.Fortunately, some martial arts practitioners in the town saw this, and went to Shaolin to invite Master Xu Wu from the Bodhidharma Academy when the sword was on the verge of attack, so there were not many casualties.

"This group of so-called righteous people is really shameful."

"It's all the same. Doesn't the largest family in martial arts, the Hidden World Villa still hide the treasure map?" The people in linen and rough clothes waved their hands and said with a sneer: "They are all decent people."

Ji Deen couldn't help but wanted to reprimand him, but Huai Ming quickly stopped him, and sighed: "Brother Deen, forget it, if you don't find out the truth, it will be futile to explain."

"It's too much." Ji Deen barely suppressed his anger, but couldn't help turning his head and glaring at the two whispering.

"Recently, because of the treasure map incident, the martial arts turmoil has intensified." Xinli couldn't help worrying: "If it continues, the imperial court will intervene sooner or later, and the Hermitage Villa will be pushed back to the forefront of the storm. It doesn't matter if it doesn't calm down, I'm afraid of dealing with it If it's not good, the emperor will become even more suspicious of the hidden world villa, and it is inevitable that he will misunderstand, thinking that the Ji family deliberately indulges the rumors, intending to disrupt the current peaceful and prosperous world."

Huai Mingmo said calmly: "It's a blessing, not a disaster. If it's a disaster, you can't avoid it."

The cold dew has passed, and it is getting cooler day by day, not to mention the thick mist in the mountains and forests, the cold air is penetrating people's muscles and bones more and more.The other three are fine. Although Huai Mingmo has taken Yuqiongsheng and his pulse is stable as usual, the root cause of the disease that caused him to be blind at the age of three has never been cured. Walking in the deep forest on the mountain steps, it was so cold that he had already put on a cloak .

The little novice who was guarding the reception outside the gate of the temple saw someone stop him, "Stop, who is it?"

"Don't be rude." Zi Xing happened to be explaining things inside the gate of the temple. Hearing the words, he walked out and saluted, "Dare to ask the benefactor what's the matter for coming to Shaolin?"

Zi Ding came out after the senior brother. He didn't know the other three, but he had some impressions of Ji Deen, "Eldest brother, that young master seems to be a friend of Uncle Xu Sheng."

Huai Mingmo personally handed over the greeting card, and said politely: "Huai Mingmo at Xiayinshi Villa, this is my cousin Ji Deen."

Zi Xing heard that he was from the Hermitage Villa, and said politely: "Please stay here later." After taking the greeting card, Zi Xing turned and left. After a while, a monk about 50 years old followed behind him. Shami is all in awe of him.

The old monk who came to greet him was Master Kujie's disciple Xudao, "Amitabha, Mr. Huai and Mr. Ji, please come inside." Shaolin Temple is filled with incense all the year round, so it is naturally warmer than outside, Huai Mingmo took off his cloak and followed Xudao behind.Xu Dao heard that they came to visit Xu Sheng specially, without any surprise, he brought them to Shaolin Xiyuan, Xu Dao folded his palms together and saluted: "Ziding, you take a few benefactors to Wuwang Cliff on the back mountain."

"Yes." Zi Ding said hesitantly: "Master, Uncle Xu Sheng is probably still not returning to the cliff at this time."

"No problem." Xudao turned around and said to the slightly fat monk behind him, "Zizhi, you go to Master Uncle to invite Xu Sheng's Junior Brother."

"Master, please take a trip." Ji Deen said tactfully, "I don't know if the masters of Shaolin Suffering, Suffering, and Sea of ​​Suffering are all there?"

Xu Dao saw through their intentions, and said with a broad smile: "Master and Uncle Master have something to do for now, if the donors are free when they come down from Wuwang Cliff, it will not be too late to see you again. There are still things in the temple that need to be done by the poor monk. Send a few of you here." Xu Dao's words are not an excuse to escape, the eminent monks in the temple are over seventy years old, although Ku Jie is the abbot, Xu Dao should have entrusted him with all matters in the temple , how can there be free time.

Huai Mingmo knew that his sudden arrival had already disturbed the tranquility of Shaolin, so he dared to procrastinate, so he hurriedly said: "Master Xudao doesn't need to accompany you any longer, let's get busy earlier."

Before Xudao left, he often asked his disciples to be respectful and respectful, and exchanged a few words of greeting before taking the disciples behind him away.

The road from Shaolin to Wuwangya is built along the cliff, the terrain is steep and the stone steps are high and narrow, at most only two people can stand shoulder to shoulder.Zi Ding leads the way, and from time to time reminds those behind him to pay attention to the dangerous road under their feet.Jishi Mountain has many peaks and steep mountains, especially on the Wuwangya section of the road.

"Master Xu Sheng goes in and out of Shaolin like this every day?" Xin Li was naturally polite in Shaolin, seeing Zi Ding who was leading the way in front of him nodded, admiringly said: "I really have perseverance, if I live in Shaolin for two days, I will definitely move back to the temple. "

Zi Ding stepped down the mountain road carefully, not daring to turn back rashly for fear of causing an accident. Hearing this, he chuckled lightly: "Master Xu Sheng actually seldom goes to the front temple, and mostly practices at Wuwang Cliff and Bugui Cliff. The little monk heard from Master that , Uncle’s Shaolin Kungfu is not very good, but lightness kung fu is not bad. Uncle Tai once mentioned it to Uncle, but Uncle didn’t mind, and no one mentioned it again after that.”

"Is Master Xu Sheng good at lightness kung fu?" Huai Mingmo asked seemingly carelessly, but he really meant it in his heart.

Ji Deen saw Xu Shengshi Qinggong, shook his head and said: "It can only be said that it is not bad, and it is far from the people who can master Qinggong in the martial arts world." He laughed loudly: "Miaoseng also has moments that are not so good."

"Little master, if you go up, you will be Wuwangya?" Zheng Fengnian followed behind, and saw a towering ancient cypress at the end of the stone steps from a distance.

A group of people just walked to the cave of Sanfo, there is a platform outside the cave for people to rest their feet, Ziding stopped, looked in the direction of Zheng Fengnian's finger, nodded and said: "It's there, but the little monk has not walked all the way. Seeing Master Uncle, I'm afraid it's still at Master Uncle's place, and the benefactors will have to wait for a while when they arrive."

Seeing that there is only one way to Wuwangya, Xinli quickly smiled and said politely: "Since Wuwangya is in front, Master Ziding can just send us here, there is no need to send us up."

"The affairs in the temple are busy, little master, let's help Master Xudao." Zheng Fengnian saw that Ziding was hesitant, and said with a smile: "There is not much way up, we will go there by ourselves, there will be no problem."

Huai Mingmo was uncomfortable being detained, and said with a faint smile: "If Master Xu Sheng is not here, we will wait for him outside the house."

"Then please a few benefactors to be careful where you go, I won't go up with you." Zi Ding wisely decided to leave. When he left, he was worried that his junior brother would not greet him well, so he said slowly: "Uncle Shi only has one disciple, Zigui, and Xiao The younger brother is still young, and his childishness has not faded, and I still hope that the benefactor will be merciful."

Watching Ziding walk away, Ji Deen loosened his back that had been tense after entering Shaolin, "I'd better continue walking from the back mountain in the future, it's too tiring."

After walking up the stone steps for about half a quarter, turning a corner is Wuwangya.When Huai Mingmo arrived at Wuwangya, he heard voices of people talking, and Xinli saw the man in Yaowanggu whispering: "It's him?"

"What?" Huai Mingmo asked puzzledly, "Who is he?"

Zheng Fengnian whispered: "Ye Wang Gu saved Xiao Ye Yuan's man."

"Let's see what they want to do." Huai Mingmo walked to a stone wall to shelter from the wind, and listened attentively.

"Oh, little Zigui, anyway, your master is coming back soon, why don't you let us go in and wait." Hua Xinglou lightly buttoned Zigui's head, and said with a smile, "How come your head is like a wooden fish, and you don't understand it."

Zigui stretched his arms to block the closed door, and said in a childish voice, "No, you can't go in without Master's permission."

"Then did your master say that we are not allowed to enter the house?" The man in black clothes beside Huaxinglou looked at Zigui with a warm smile on his face, and said calmly, "When did he drive us out of the thatched cottage?" , since it has never happened, it can be seen that he has a close relationship with us, even if he is not here, he would acquiesce in allowing us to enter the house."

Hua Xinglou frowned, and said joyfully: "Mu Xi is right, if Zigui stops us again, be careful when your master comes back and punishes you."

Zigui sounded plausible, but after a while, he felt that the two of them couldn't be allowed to enter the house, and muttered: "Anyway, it's not possible, and being punished by the master, I can't let you in."

"Xiao Zigui, if you don't let it go, I have no choice but to vent my anger on your master's peony stand." Huaxinglou took out the jade fan from his waist, and made a gesture to destroy the peony bush next to the withered grass hut.

Hearing this, Zigui was so frightened that he hugged Huaxinglou's calf, but Shu Muxi flashed by when he saw this, and wanted to open the wooden door of the withered grass hut to break in.Huai Mingmo heard the movement, pulled out the folding fan, threw it out, and inserted it straight into the wooden door shelf.

"Who is it?" Huaxinglou saw that the fan was halfway through the wooden door, so he knew that the recruiter had profound internal skills, so he hurriedly put away his hippie smile, turned around and stared at the four people behind him.

"Since Master Xusheng is not here, how about the two young masters waiting outside with us for a while?" Huai Mingmo walked forward slowly without fear, talking and laughing briskly as if he didn't notice the cold hostility of the other party, and walked straight In front of the two of them, he pulled out the embedded folding fan, "Little master, can I ask for some tea?"

Huaxinglou has been active in the Qilian Mountains connecting the Western Regions and the Central Plains all year round. He is not very familiar with the martial arts figures in the Central Plains such as Northern Meng and Western Shu. With just one move, he can't guess the origins of these people, he only thinks they are formidable enemies.Shu Muxi exchanged glances with Huaxinglou, and said expressionlessly, "Okay."

Zigui had a sudden fondness for the elder brother who rescued him, seeing him sitting under the ancient cypress waiting quietly, he hurriedly said: "Young masters, I will go make tea for you young masters."

"Xinli, go with the little master." Huai Mingmo heard a childish voice, worried that Zi Gui would be injured if he was knocked over because of his young age and strength, "help me."

"Yes." Xin Li glanced at Dazzling Xinglou and Shu Muxi, and hurriedly followed Zigui to the small kitchen next to the withered grass hut.

"Next Ji Deen, dare to ask the names of the two young masters?"

"Hua Xing Lou." After finishing speaking, Hua Xing Lou pointed to his side and said leisurely, "My little Muxi."

Shu Muxi immediately frowned, and retorted extremely unhappily: "Who belongs to your family?"

"It turned out to be the lord and deputy lord of the Waterless Palace. I was disrespectful just now. Please forgive me." Huai Mingmo had heard the rumors in the world, but he didn't expect that the relationship between these two people and Xu Sheng would be so good. Ji Xusheng is indifferent, distant from others, but has a close relationship with the palace master of the Demon Cult in the Western Regions, and there seems to be mixed feelings in his heart, and there is an indescribable feeling.

"You don't have to worry about it, Mr. Ruthless. Anyway, you destroyed the door of that stinky monk." Hua Xinglou heard Ji's family, looked closely at Huai Mingmo's eyes, and immediately knew Huai Mingmo's identity.Knowing the identity of the visitor, he became cynical again, and couldn't help clapping his hands: "Well done, let that smelly monk know the consequences of closing the door."

"That's right, if you turn us away next time, you'll have to pull out his Peony Terrace." Shu Muxi stared straight at the Peony Terrace, with a smirk on his lips.

Ji Deen also became interested, and said with a smile: "It is enough to pull out Wei Zi, Tongzimian, Yaohuang, mung bean, and Qinglong Womochi that Monk Xusheng carefully planted. I am afraid that if I do this, I will not be able to live in the withered grass."

"Isn't he just a stinky monk? Is it possible that he dared to break the precepts and kill living beings? Besides, the Buddha's six roots are pure and the four elements are all empty. If he hates me because of a few flowers, it shows the shallowness of his practice." Hua Xinglou imagined that Xu Sheng was burning with anger Looking around, he felt more and more comfortable physically and mentally, and said leisurely: "Besides, the legs grow on my body, so if I can beat it, I can hit it, but if I can't beat it, just run."

At this time, there was a snort and chuckle from the other side of the stone steps, "You can try."
