Martial Arts: Starting from a Seemingly Real System

The Shaolin Discipline Institute is in charge of the Shaolin sect's rules, disciplines and penalties. The levels of punishment are warning, minor offense, major offense, expulsion and no pardon from the lightest to the heaviest.

Three warnings are considered a minor offense, three minor offenses are considered a major offense, and three major offenses will result in expulsion, which means abolishing one’s martial arts and expelling one from Shaolin.

For people in the martial arts world, if their Qi Sea is broken and their Dantian is destroyed, they will become useless, even worse than ordinary people, and it is like losing half their life.

No pardon means death penalty. Those who commit the heinous crimes will be directly exterminated and their bodies destroyed.

Although Shaolin is a martial arts sect, it is also a Buddhist sect and is always compassionate. Therefore, various punishments corresponding to warnings, minor offenses, and major offenses can be handled by the Discipline Institute at its discretion.

However, decisions regarding abolishing martial arts and clearing out the sect, which involve life and death, require the opinions of the abbot and the heads of each monastery, and must be made with extreme caution.

To abolish martial arts, half of the people must agree to it, and to clean up the house, 70% of the leaders must agree to it.

The Punishment Hall of the Discipline Institute is where the disciples who have committed serious crimes are detained and tried. Qiao Rui was locked in black iron shackles as thick as a baby's arm, sitting cross-legged on the ground. In front of him sat three big monks, each with a different expression.

In the middle stands an old monk with thick eyebrows and a wide mouth. He is serious and has a bright light when his eyes open and close. He looks majestic without even being angry. He is the head monk of the Discipline Institute, Master Wu Se.

On the left is a young monk with protruding eyes and a shiny bald head. He is the captain of the law enforcement team of the Discipline Institute, the first disciple of Master Wu Se, and Bu Jing.

On the right is also an old monk, with brows lowered and his hands twirling Buddhist beads, silently reciting scriptures. He is an old acquaintance of Qiao Rui, the head monk of the Prajna Hall, Master Wuwang.

When a disciple commits a serious crime, the head of the academy must be present.

"Qiao Rui, a new lay disciple of Shaolin, entered the Third Courtyard yesterday afternoon. In the evening, he contradicted the on-duty instructor and refused to obey his instructions. He was given a minor offense."

"At breakfast today, you snatched food in the dining hall and bullied your fellow disciple Zhao Si. You will be punished with a minor offense."

"In the afternoon, I had a brawl with fellow disciples Liu Quan, Wang Wu, and others. I used too much force, causing Wang Wu to be slightly injured and Liu Quan to be seriously injured. I was given a warning and a minor offense."

"Later, he severely injured the coach Ma Wencai. This is disrespectful to the teacher and will be punished with a major offense."

"Asking the law enforcement team of the Discipline Academy is a violation of the law. You will be punished with a major offense."

"I will punish you for multiple crimes. I suggest you abolish your martial arts and expel you from Shaolin!"

Bujing stated Qiao Rui's crimes to Master Wu Se and Master Wu Wang with a stern face, and made recommendations on punishment.

After Bujing finished speaking, Master Wuwang stopped chanting and looked at Qiao Rui calmly, "Are you satisfied with this verdict?"

"Of course I don't accept it!" Qiao Rui said excitedly. How big of a deal is this that requires you to destroy someone's martial arts?

With so many enemies, how can I survive if my martial arts are wasted?

"Why don't you accept it?" Master Wu Se suddenly spoke, his eyes like lightning, piercing Qiao Rui's eyes, "Is it true that you disobeyed the discipline last night and contradicted the on-duty coach Ma Wencai?"

Qiao Rui's internal energy was sealed at the moment, and he was weak and short of breath. Being stared at by Master Wu Se so directly, he actually felt a slight pain in his eyes. For no reason, he arose a sense of fear in the depths of his heart, and instinctively wanted to dodge.

But thinking of his own experience and the burden he was carrying, he became proud and gritted his teeth to persevere. He looked directly at Master Wu Se and said, "It was that Ma Wen who deliberately made things difficult for me. I argued with him for a few sentences, and in the end I did not violate his arrangements!"

"Ma Wencai arranged for two menial disciples to live in the Ren-shaped Zen room. This was done before you came. It did not violate any rules or regulations!"

Master Wu Se looked at Qiao Rui expressionlessly, "But you, you contradicted the instructor and disobeyed his instructions. This is a big taboo in the Third Courtyard!"

"As a lay disciple of the Third Courtyard, you have no seniority before entering the Fourth Courtyard. You must treat the Fourth Courtyard disciples with respect as teachers. Moreover, Ma Wencai is the on-duty coach of the Third Courtyard. You committed insubordination and will be punished with a minor offense, which is a light sentence!"

this......

Qiao Rui was silent. What Wu Se said seemed to make sense? But he was unwilling to accept it in his heart. He always felt that something was wrong. After a moment, he said, "Why should we record the matter of breakfast? Isn't it normal to steal food in the dining hall?"

"It is true that stealing food from the vegetarian hall is the norm, but it is also true that it is against the rules. However, if no one reports it, the Discipline Institute will not bother to deal with it. But since you have been reported, my Discipline Institute will naturally investigate."

"You used your first-rate talent to bully Zhao Si, who is not even third-rate, and disregarded the friendship between fellow disciples. Therefore, I will record a minor offense for you. The punishment is that you bully the weak and take the initiative to provoke. Do you know your crime?"

Master Wu Se spoke slowly, his words were as loud as thunder, and his voice was full of majesty and solemnity.

"It was clearly Liu Quan, Wang Wu and the others who provoked me first that afternoon, so why are they punishing me?"

"You first injured Wang Wu, and then severely injured Liu Quan. I only gave you a warning and a minor offense because I saw that you did not take the initiative to provoke me, so I gave you a lenient sentence!"

"Hey, what a lenient sentence! Should I allow them to provoke me, and I cannot fight back, and let them hurt me, so that I can be exempted from punishment?"

Qiao Rui sneered, and he suddenly realized that he did nothing wrong in the previous two things, they were just unreasonable. But this one was not wrong in terms of logic, but the approach was wrong.

It's wrong no matter what, you have the final say!

"How dare you!" Master Wu Se's tongue thundered. He suddenly stood up and looked at Qiao Rui coldly.

The old monk's eyes were glaring and his aura was intimidating. He was tall and when he stood up, his huge shadow loomed over Qiao Rui, like the Buddha Ming Wang coming to the world and overlooking the sins of the world, so majestic.

"As Shaolin disciples, whether we are monks or laypeople, we must always be compassionate, friendly to our fellow disciples, respect our teachers, and fear the precepts. Only in this way can we be the best in the righteous path."

"But you relied on your martial arts to bully the weak, disregarding the friendship between fellow disciples. You severely injured Liu Quan and Ma Wencai one after another. You were ruthless and didn't know the severity of the consequences. You have no mercy at all!"

"You have only been here for two days, and you have already attacked and injured four of your fellow disciples several times. You don't have any fear or self-restraint in your heart, and you only know how to be brave and aggressive. You are like a demon."

"How can my Shaolin tolerate you if you behave like this?"

"Today, more than half of the Shaolin abbots have jointly decided to expel you from the Shaolin Temple. The punishment will be executed immediately!"

To be expelled means to be removed from Shaolin, which means that after abolishing martial arts, one will be expelled from Shaolin and will have nothing to do with Shaolin anymore.

"Hahahaha, Shaolin is so despicable, I'd rather not wait for it!" Qiao Rui laughed in anger when he heard this.

He was really disappointed. When he first met Wuwang in Shushan, the old monk left a very good impression on him, so he was somewhat looking forward to entering Shaolin.

I didn't expect that I would encounter such a dirty thing as soon as I entered Shaolin. It was just because of Ma Wencai's inexplicable hostility that they started to fight each other and were determined to kill me. With such behavior, how can he be the leader of the righteous path?

"Unclean,"

"The disciple is here!"

"Go and break his Qi Hai point and destroy his Dan Tian!" Wu Se did not care about Qiao Rui's attack on Shaolin, and ordered Bu Jing with an expressionless face to start executing the penalty.

"You dare!" When Qiao Rui saw that the unclean monk really stood up and walked towards him, he couldn't help but feel shocked and angry. This group of monks were really lawless.

Bujing walked over indifferently, glanced at Qiao Rui, raised his hand and pressed on Qiao Rui's Qihai point.
