Shaolin monk

Abbot Zhishan expressed some surprise at his visit, but quickly recovered his usual calmness and asked, "Sanli, what are you doing today?"

"I have doubts, so I came to ask the master abbot for advice, and disturbed the master." After getting Zhishan's permission, Ling Duoduo sat down on the futon under his head and briefly explained the matter.

Zhishan had heard Wumei mention this matter before, and he had a clue in his mind. He didn't stay silent for too long after hearing it, and turned around and said, "Sanli, can you read the couplets hanging in the old monk's room?"

Zhishan, as the host of Shaolin, has a separate room for Zen meditation on weekdays. His room is decorated very plainly. In the center of the wall is a square traditional Chinese character "wu" that is one person tall and one person long, and the upper and lower couplets are pasted on the left and right.

Ling Duoduo raised his head and read: "It's bliss to have nothing to worry about, and there is nothing to lose."

He still has a little impression of this sentence. It is part of the couplets in Liu Gongquan's regular script collection. There is also a sentence at the back that reads "Straightforwardness does not need to be quick to speak, and wisdom and circle must help with deeds." From this point of view, Zhishan still hopes that he To be able to let go of the hatred.

"Do you know what it means?" Zhishan watched his expression carefully after finishing speaking, seeing that Ling Duoduo pursed his lips and did not answer, he said with a smile, "If the old man advises you not to commit crimes, you are still determined to avenge your parents; If the old monk encourages you to take revenge, but you still feel guilty——Sanli, the old monk’s answer doesn’t mean anything to you.”

——As a monk who became a monk halfway, in fact, he didn't feel any guilt about killing people. Ling Duoduo blinked his eyes, showing a taught expression: "You're right."

Zhishan pondered for a while, and said: "After the mountain bandits hurt people, the old monk also sent his disciples to investigate, and they have already seized the bandits and sent them to the government."

Both he and Chih-chih feel that if Ling Duoduo is eager to take revenge, it is inappropriate to let him know that the enemy belongs to Wudang at this moment. Zhishan told a white lie, hoping that he can think that the enemy has received what he deserves. retribution.

After hearing this, Ling Duoduo sighed in his heart. Zhishan's level is obviously better than that of stupid's intelligence. A simple sentence helped him solve the matter. The murderer didn't need him to kill him, and the government had already dealt with it. .

He didn't want to get entangled in this issue, even if he wanted to avenge the Ling couple, he wouldn't be so brainless as to come and tell the Shaolin people. Look: "Is that really the case?"

"Yes, because Junior Brother Zhizhi had nothing to do with this matter at that time, and the old man did not tell him about it in detail." Zhishan slowed down his voice, "You don't need to suffer and hesitate because of this, you can just be sincere Recite sutras for your parents to fulfill your children's wishes."

"Yes, Master, I understand." Ling Duoduo bowed to Zhi Shan, "Thank you for your teaching, Master Abbot."

——————————————————————————————————————

Zhizhi was really relieved that the matter could be resolved satisfactorily. He lifted the ban on Ling Duoduo going down the mountain, and even took Ling Duoduo down the mountain.

The two walked for half a month. Zhizhi took him to Guangdong to punish the traitors. In fact, if Zhihui traveled alone, it would only take about ten days to arrive. Slowed down.

Ling Duoduo's lightness kung fu is actually slightly better than his intelligence. Wudang School's Ti Yunzong is the only one in the martial arts world and has a reputation for a hundred years.

Fortunately, Chih-chih did not dislike him for slowing down his pace, instead, he explained some martial arts knowledge to him along the way, and also taught him martial arts skills. The two of them talked longer than when they were in Shaolin.

Ling Duoduo actually wanted to inquire about Wudang from Zhizhi. After all, he had been the head of Wudang all his life, and he still had a high degree of belonging to the sect. Wudang and Shaolin had always been the leaders of the martial arts. Hold high the banner of justice and advance and retreat together.

Why have you been in a life-and-death situation in this lifetime?Ling Duoduo still has another doubt that he didn't express. It is reasonable to say that Shaolin is the orthodox martial arts, so why was it so overwhelmed by Wudang? Think about the time when the relationship between Shaolin and Wudang was the most tense seven years ago, but even the abbot and elders of Shaolin were dispatched up?

But although Ling Duoduo wanted to hear it, Zhizhi mostly talked about him, avoiding this topic, and was unwilling to talk about Wudang with him.

Ling Duoduo didn't find a suitable way to turn the topic of the two people's conversation into Wudang, so he could only ignore it for the time being. He reckoned that looking at this situation, Zhizhi was indeed cultivating him as a successor. There are a lot of opportunities to go down the mountain alone, and it is not difficult to find out the truth.

The person they came down to punish this time was a lay disciple who left Shaolin three years ago, named Zhang Shaoran, with the kung fu he learned from Shaolin, he did evil and became a tyrant in Guangdong.

It took the two of them half a month's journey to Guangzhou, and Ling Duoduo couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He had traveled for a long time in his previous life and his previous life, but he had never felt so tired before.

——The reason is very simple. Shaolin disciples have never had to pay for food when they go down the mountain. They all rely on monks to fill their stomachs.

——Ling Duoduo took over his own bowl from Zhizhi, and he couldn't help crying in his heart. Compared with the time when Yue Buqun waved his hand on Huashan Mountain, it was just a few golden leaves. The more you live, the more you go back?

Zhizhi took him to live in a temple on the outskirts of Guangzhou, and said at the same time, "It's the first time you've left Jiulian Mountain for a long trip. Are you getting used to it all the way?"

Ling Duoduo clasped his hands together and said solemnly: "Returning to Master, this disciple thinks it's okay. Although we live in the wind and sleep in the open, but the hard work of monks can sharpen our minds, increase our knowledge, and devote ourselves to the Buddha."

After listening to Zhizhi, he nodded in satisfaction—he had never brought Sanchi and Sanjie down the mountain before, and he also used the method of stocking this little disciple along the way. He was a little bit confused at first when he heard Ling Duoduo say this , Zhizhi also breathed a sigh of relief.

He really wanted Ling Duoduo to inherit the mantle of the Discipline Academy, but from the meaning revealed in Shaolin Abbot Zhishan's speech, it seemed that he also intended to let Ling Duoduo enter the Bodhidharma Academy.

But everything has to wait until Ling Duoduo has the ability to win the first place in the annual competition. Zhi Zhi just thought about it for a while, then he was relieved and said: "I will take you to live in Guangzhou for a while Let's inquire about Zhang Shaoran's reputation."

According to the informant, Zhang Shaoran, a disciple of the Shaolin layman, did all kinds of evil things in Guangzhou, but the informant's statement may not be accurate, so it is necessary to inquire intelligently and determine the facts.

The two changed the dusty cassocks due to their rush, and put on a new set. They walked on the street on foot, and Chih-chi went into shops and teahouses to inquire about news from time to time.

Ling Duoduo was waiting at the door for him to come out, but suddenly there were mixed sounds in his ears, and the street ahead was in chaos.

He squinted his eyes, looked over, and found that it was a handsome young man riding a horse through the street. He saw the horse dexterously rushing left and right in the crowd, bumping into the passing stalls from time to time, but it didn't no harm.

After that, another horse fell far away, but the level of the rider was obviously much worse. He was struggling in the crowd and could hardly move. The fat man on the horse kept cursing in anger.

Looking back, a handsome young man dressed as a book boy was apologizing in front of the kicked-off booth, and even took out a silver ticket and copper coins from his pocket to compensate.

Hey, the two leaders are both well-dressed and can do things like galloping horses in the street. Although they don't hurt anyone, they are naughty enough. They are obviously young masters from a rich family who have been taught badly.Ling Duoduo glanced at it, but didn't take it seriously. The tip of his eyes swept across the roof, but his face changed.

A 30-year-old woman was stepping on the rubble above her head and running with the horses. She applauded and cheered while running. The speed was extremely impressive. After a few ups and downs, she landed on the restaurant not far in front of Ling Duoduo from the end of the street. .

Ling Duoduo saw that her physical skills were very good, which was very similar to the Shaolin light kung fu used by Zhi Zhi when he was on the road, his heart moved slightly, and he vaguely felt that this person should have some connection with Shaolin.

Before he had time to think about it, he saw that the horse that was behind had already approached. Because the rider was impatient, he ignored the whip, causing the horse to rush forward like crazy, knocking down all the pedestrians who couldn't dodge.

Ling Duoduo frowned, and flicked out the beads on his wrist. After the string broke, several beads hit the horse's front and back legs with fierce inner strength. Hearing the horse neigh, he fell to his knees .

The person sitting on the saddle flew forward due to inertial factors, gliding all the way on the street, screaming continuously, causing laughter on the street.

Ling Duoduo took a step back, looked at the woman in front of him, and said solemnly: "Amitabha." Now he found that this Buddha's name is really useful, once he doesn't know what to say, he just uses it as an excuse.

Ling Duoduo actually didn't want to meddle in such nosy matters. He keenly felt that this woman would have something to do with Shaolin. If he didn't care, he might doubt his Buddha's heart.
