Poor monks do not break the precepts

That same night, Xusheng ordered Zigui to impose a ban on the door, so that no one would be seen if he came.The dark sky was dark and depressing. Xu Sheng sat cross-legged in the meditation room practicing the magical power of Mingxiang, suppressing the chaotic qi, and gradually entered a better state.A female voice sneered suddenly from outside the house, the voice was as cold as a ghost crawling out of hell.

Xu Sheng pushed open half of the window suddenly, like smoke flew out like wind, and landed silently on a clean rock on the edge of the cliff, "You are here."

"Did you guess that I would come?" The woman who opened her mouth was like a fairy falling from the sky, her skin was as clear as snow in the dark environment, and her pair of ecstatic peach blossom eyes were touching.At first glance, this woman is probably Hua Xinnianhua, but her eyes reveal a scheming and insidiousness that does not match her appearance.

"I'll stop you from killing An Jingyue at noon, you won't stop coming."

Lianxin Huiji covered her mouth and laughed lightly. The more she laughed, the more insolent she became. She said coldly, "You have prevented me from killing her many times, why?"

Xu Sheng squinted at her, and said with a smile: "Even if I don't make a move today, your people can't finish her. And why should I help you?"

Lianxin Huiji's expression suddenly softened, and she said with a kind smile: "Mother and child are connected."

Xu Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, he didn't even want to look at Lian Xin Hui Ji, he said unmoved: "In the snowy day of the twelfth lunar month, it's really a kind mother's heart to leave my baby in the barren mountains and wild forests."

Lianxin Huiji narrowed her eyes slightly, raised her hand to tighten her slightly loose bun, and said in a more and more cold tone: "Mother was forced to do so back then, and I know I'm sorry for you."

Xu Sheng patted the dead leaves on his shoulders, and sneered twice, "Don't pretend to be a hard-working and loving mother, it makes people look sick. Since you came today, I will make it clear to you, don't hit An Jingyue again. Idea. Even if you do it yourself, she will be able to live safely and soundly one day with me."

"Xusheng...do you really think that I really won't tell you about you?"

Xu Sheng looked at Lian Xin Hui Ji's distraught and ugly appearance, suddenly felt refreshed, raised his eyebrows and said: "It's up to you, naturally the transaction between you and me will end here. And the troubles I encountered before will definitely be repaid several times. Mother."

Lianxin Huiji stared at Xu Sheng's back, and said with a sneer, "Young Master Huai of the Hidden World Villa is really a dragon and a phoenix among men. It's a pity that his eyes... My son, you are a calm and blind man, suddenly one day Can't hear him, can he still be calm as usual?"

The gust of Wuwang Cliff blew like an ice knife, so sharp that it seemed that it could cut the people on the edge of the cliff in half.

Xu Sheng stopped and stood with his hands down, he didn't see the slightest bit of anger and panic, he smiled lightly and said: "I don't know his reaction, but the Hidden World Villa, the Four Great Schools and the martial arts knights probably won't let you go, you think you Can you really hide it? Your hasty behavior today has already attracted the attention of Chu Yuanhe and Tan Mingyang, and you are so stupid that you want to throw yourself into a trap. You are really stupid, mother." The tone of the speech was very flat, and Lianxin Huiji's expression was ferocious. , only Xu Sheng knew that the Buddhist string lightly pinched on his fingertips had been reduced to ashes.It's just that Xu Sheng tried his best to control his emotions without showing any trace, for fear that if he showed any concern, it would become trouble for Huai Mingmo.

After spending the whole night restlessly, in addition to the previous days of grief and worry, Xu Sheng's spirit was extremely poor, and his white cheeks became paler and haggard.On weekdays, Xu Jing and Xu Sheng get close, so there are big and small things in the temple that Xu Sheng wants to show up, most of them are invited by Xu Jing's disciple Zizhen.This morning was an exception, Xu Jing personally went up to Wuwang Cliff to see Xu Sheng, because he had never seen Xu Sheng in such a depressed state before, he was startled and asked quickly: "What's wrong with you, what's wrong with you?" So haggard? Are you feeling unwell?"

Reminded by Xu Jing, Xu Sheng put down the books he was sorting out in a trance, found a bronze mirror to look at himself, and suddenly felt that he was very strange in the mirror, he quickly adjusted his mood, pretended to yawn and said: "I haven't slept well recently, and my complexion is inevitably worse , made you worry. Why did you come up here for a run?"

Needless to say the blow to Xu Sheng caused by the sudden death of the master, Xu Jing didn't think much about it. Gu Nian Xusheng's mood became more and more serious, and he said: "Master told me two days ago that the uncle has passed away, and seven days have passed. However, it’s time for Nirvana to go to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.”

"That should be the case. You need to worry about Master's death."

"I'm supposed to be responsible, but you don't think too much." Xu Jing pinched Xu Sheng's shoulder lightly, frowned slightly and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, how can you lose so much weight?"

Xu Sheng patted Xu Jing's hand away, and smiled lightly, "It's not as weak as you said, it was like that in the past."

Xu Jing knew that what she said was a bit exaggerated, and saw that although Xu Sheng's face was haggard, his eyes were still shining brightly, so he felt relieved.After talking about the gossip, he wanted to bring up the business, but he hesitated a little nervously, and tentatively said: "Uncle Shi means that the position of abbot of Shaolin has been vacant for many days, and it is appropriate to elect someone to succeed him."

"Which of the two senior uncles do you prefer?" Xu Sheng seemed to be talking about a trivial matter, and he said while packing up the remaining Buddhist scriptures: "In terms of seniority, senior brother Xudao and senior brother Xuwu are on par, so I think the two senior uncles will be the ones for you." This is a headache."

Although they don't get together every day to meditate together, Xu Jing still has some understanding of Xu Sheng. Even though Xu Sheng doesn't care about the position of Zhang on the surface, he has some hopes in his heart.Xu Jing was thinking from the bottom of his heart, and said with a smile on his lips: "Master Uncle has asked Grand Martial Uncle's opinion, it seems that he prefers Senior Brother to take over, and Senior Brother Xu Wu also expressed his opinion, and he doesn't care about the position of Zhang Zhang."

Xu Sheng and his brothers and sisters in the monastery have never talked much, they seem to be closer to Xu Jing, but they are on guard.But he didn't talk much, Xu Sheng was very able to handle the temper of his senior brothers, he naturally knew that Xu Ji was a sharp-eyed and cautious character, and he couldn't hide his thoughts from him, "Go ahead, I'll wait a while After tidying up, go to the temple. Don't worry, I'm fine."

Xu Jing knew the meaning of Xu Sheng's words, so she nodded and said: "Come earlier, don't miss the time."

"Mr. Ji has arrived at the temple?"

Just as Xu Jing stepped up to the door, he stumbled and said in confusion: "Naturally, I have already arrived at the temple. I arrived at the temple at a quarter of Yin this morning. Taoist Shi Ku and Mr. Huai came with me."

Xu Sheng's expression was indifferent as usual, but his brows seemed to move slightly, and he said leisurely: "I'll change into a monk's robe, and I'll be going in a moment. There are still many things in the temple that need your supervision, so you go early, don't delay the matter."

The snow of Wuwangya drifted up unknowingly, wearing a coarse linen monk's robe, walking on the stone steps by the cliff step by step, and the footprints behind him sank step by step.I don't know how long he walked, Xu Sheng finally came to Shaolin Xiyuan, only heard a soft sigh from his throat, the corners of his mouth moved slightly in a blink of an eye, and he had that detached appearance again.

Buddhism should be the quietest place, but today it is extremely noisy.After the cremation of Master Kujie's body, the martial arts practitioners had just returned to the temple when they encountered mobs who came to make trouble. The intentions of the visitors were obvious. They came here for the fake XingXiu sword manual and coveted the illusory wealth.As the third generation of Shaolin disciples, there are senior uncles who come forward, and senior seniors who are in charge, Xu Sheng doesn't need to be shown in front of others, so he hides behind the crowd, watching the nonsense and disputes in front of him coldly.The new abbot of Shaolin hasn't had time to be selected yet, facing the sudden troubles, it is natural for the eminent monks of the poor generation to deal with them.

There was a lot of noise from the left and right, and the suffering seemed to be out of the way, and he said very peacefully: "In Shaolin, there is no XingXiu sword manual that the benefactors said."

Before the words of Misery fell, a sneer came from somewhere, "I heard that the Fragrant Robber broke into the Sutra Pavilion at night more than a month ago, Master Misery will not deny it?"

"Even if Fragrant Pirates visited Shaolin at night, what does it matter to you whether or not you left behind the sword manual of stars?" The person who spoke was the head of the Wushan School. The mob is in a panic.

"Shaolin is the Zhongzong of the martial arts, the head of decency. Could it be that they want to keep it privately? Is it impossible to swallow the Xingxiu sword manual?"

These words are extremely ugly, and there are few people in Shaolin who are not angry when they hear them.Suffering still did not change his face and said: "If there is a XingXiu sword manual in Shaolin, it will definitely be returned to the hidden world villa, and there will be no desire to keep it private."

The head of the horse gang of the Canglong gang sneered at the words, and said disdainfully: "Who knows if you monks who chant Buddha all day long, the six roots are really quiet, after all, there are many monks who break the precepts. , I don’t believe that everyone in Shaolin is like this, after all, it’s difficult to know people and faces.”

"Presumptuous!" Mr. Ji's voice was still soft, but there was a shocking majesty, "Is Zhongzong a place to make trouble at will? The Xingxiu Sword Manual is a lost item of the hidden world villa. The villa will send people to look for it. Please worry about it, everyone."

Haicha helped Luo Sect Leader change his usual obedient temperament, sneered and mocked: "Mr. Ji's words are different. I heard that the Xingxiu sword manual actually depicts the treasures of the previous dynasty. How can it be said to be something from the hidden world villa."

After hearing this, the leader of the horse gang echoed: "The treasures of the previous dynasty should belong to the imperial court. Since we are the citizens of Beimeng Kingdom, we should contribute."

The unknown person who came from nowhere shouted loudly: "Could it be that the hidden world villa is really like the rumors in the martial arts, and it's not possible to plan to steal the treasure?"

Taoist Shiku said redly, "The Hidden World Villa has been in the rivers and lakes for hundreds of years. Its style is upright and its family style is serious. How can you call it Xiaoxiao? The Hidden World Villa was stolen. You don't criticize the villain on the beam, but instead Come to Zhongzong and other major sects to make trouble wantonly, so why worry about it?" As the leader of today's martial arts heroes, the words he said are naturally awe-inspiring, and sure enough the bursts of noise quieted down, and the leaders of the rioting gangs The doormen were speechless for a moment.Xu Shengyin looked at these villains contemptuously from behind the eaves pillars, with mixed feelings in his heart for a moment, and there was a trace of annoyance in his clear eyes.

"Since it is upright, why has the hidden world villa not revealed the secret of this cheat book? Xiaosheng dare to ask Mr. Ji, what is recorded in the Xingxiu sword manual?" The frail scholar who spoke came out from the crowd, holding a fan He bowed to Mr. Ji, "Xiaosheng has heard of Mr. Ji's reputation for a long time, so he must be Mr. Ji's popularity. Mr. Ji has also seen that the recent unnecessary turmoil in martial arts is all caused by so-called treasures. In my opinion, the best way to avoid chaos , that is, the hidden world villa can tell the secret of the sword manual. Is there really a treasure from the previous dynasty hidden in the sword manual? It will be the same as before.”

Ji Yintong stared at the scholar for a while, only to feel a chill in his heart, and said politely: "I don't know your name?"

The frail scholar bowed politely to several masters of the martial arts, with a smile on his face that was warm in spring in April, but there was a stern look in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "The young man's name is Ding Zixu, the juniors in the martial arts are not enough to make the elders worry about you."

Chu Yuanhe's cheeks twitched slightly, with a haughty expression on his face, revealing a rare arrogance and domineering, he said a little impatiently: "It's very rare to say that you are a junior, but you stand out for the elders in the world."

Ding Zixu's eyes were slightly glinting, and he swept across the Shaolin monks and several sects seemingly without any trace, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Master Chu, the younger generation is just offering an opinion, and I have no intention of offending Mr. Ji. It's just that the world has been chaotic recently. It really makes people feel uneasy, if the misunderstanding can be resolved as soon as possible, wouldn't it be a great blessing for Wulin?"

"Peace and harmony in the martial arts world is a blessing for the Jianghu people, but it is only a trouble that the Jianghu people have asked for themselves. How can the hidden world villa solve the confusion?" You Youran's voice is like Kunshan jade fragments, which is fascinating, and because the words are powerful, it attracts people's attention. Everyone looked at the wonderful monk who was rumored in the rivers and lakes.The faint smile on the corners of Xusheng's lips was like a spring mountain, and he did not shy away from the complex gazes from all around him, and said slowly: "The rivers and lakes are all things, but the temple is so high that it is within reach of people in the martial arts. Master Ding, head Luo , Why bother asking for trouble?”

Wearing a rough hemp monk's clothing, it is not conspicuous enough in front of the martial arts sects. In addition, few people in the world have seen the real Miao Monk, so many martial arts gang leaders did not recognize Xu Sheng.It was Ding Zixu who said respectfully: "Miao Monk's words are good, but Xiaosheng thinks, after all, this matter has caused an uproar in the martial arts, and there are many famous gangs today, why not use this time to clarify? Besides, as Luo According to the head of the sect and the head of the horse gang, the people of Beimeng should have contributed to the court, how could the righteous men of the rivers and lakes stand by and watch."

With the elders in front, Huaiming Mo originally didn't intend to add more arguments, but now that his close relatives are questioned, he couldn't help but want to say a few words.Unexpectedly, Ji Duorui's eyes were sharp, and he saw Huai Mingmo's thoughts at once, and quickly pulled his nephew down, the corner of his mouth was slightly cold, and said with a smile: "Everyone thinks that the Xingxiu sword manual belongs to the court, and the hidden world villa lost its volume, it is Ji's family. If you don't take good care of me, the Ji family will go to the court to plead guilty. If you don't trust the Ji family or the Hidden World Villa, you can escort us to Beijing."

These words were so serious that the chattering mob was choked to silence.At this moment, a crowd of people in official uniforms appeared outside the gate of the temple, and they walked left and right until they reached Master Suffering.After a while, a young master Pianran came out from among the officers and soldiers.

"The affairs of the imperial court are handled by the imperial court, and there are no many knights in the world to worry about." This young man with a weak crown is dressed in plain clothes, but the materials are very expensive. .

Shaolin is far away from the world, suffering is not familiar with the people in the court, so he said: "Amitabha, the benefactor came with a great car, but I couldn't meet him from afar, I hope the benefactor forgives."

"Father heard the news of Master Kujie's passing away, he was heartbroken, and couldn't leave because of the busy state affairs, so he had to send the little king here. I also hope that Shaolin Temple will be clean." After the little prince said, he turned to Mr. Ji and passed the younger generation Li, respectfully said: "Mr. Ji is well recently? The imperial concubine misses Mr. Ji very much."
