Shaolin monk

The Shaolin disciples who survived the catastrophe of burning Shaolin worked together and spent five years rebuilding a Shaolin Temple in a remote mountainous area in the south of Fujian.

Due to the fact that the imperial court may receive news and come to encircle and suppress, the scale of the Shaolin Temple is not large on the ground, and there is no signboard of the Shaolin Temple. From the outside, it is just a small residential building connected together.

However, almost all of the underground has been hollowed out, and a vast space has been propped up with the rich wood in the forest. An Arhat bronze man acts as a guard.

There happened to be a famine two years ago, so Shaolin people took in many homeless orphans and taught them as lay disciples. After five years, the number of them has expanded from less than half a hundred to more than a hundred, which is quite a large scale.

Seeing that everything was on the right track, Zhizhi took Ling Duoduo to sit down on a small tree stump not far away. Seeing that there was no one around, he said softly: "Sanli, on the anniversary of the death of Senior Brother Zhishan yesterday, Senior Brother Zhikuan offered to be It's time for you to take over as the abbot of Shaolin, why did you push it back?"

As early as five years ago, after Ling Duoduo and Fang Shiyu teamed up to defeat Baimei, Zhizhi received a letter from his apprentice announcing his safety. While overjoyed, he had already discussed with the other elders about succeeding as abbot.

It's not that he is so impatient to push his apprentice to the top position, anyway, Ling Duoduo's position as the next Shaolin abbot has already been set, and Zhizhi really didn't care much in the early and late years, mainly because Shaolin couldn't do it after all. There is no one at the helm, and everything big and small needs someone to come forward to be justified.

Originally, the only thing Ling Duoduo lacked was the prestige among Shaolin disciples, which was well alleviated and made up for by his slashing white eyebrows. He also avenged Shaolin and Zhishan, and his succession was a matter of course.

Several elders also felt that the time was ripe. The next day Fang Shiyu recovered his memory, they discussed the matter with Ling Duoduo, but Ling Duoduo found an excuse to push it away.

After five years, Zhiming originally thought that his apprentice should happily agree to this time, but Ling Duoduo also did not agree, saying that his qualifications were still young and it was not the time.

Ling Duoduo smiled and said, "Master, why should you be in such a hurry, this disciple just feels that the time is not yet ripe..."

Chih-chih was a little anxious, and interrupted him: "I'm not mature yet, so when do you think you'll be mature? Sanli, you're over 20 years old, and you're not too young at this age. The rest of Shaolin The disciples are also willing to listen to you, and the new apprentices are taught by you, but you are the saddle, so what is immature?"

"Although the situation in Shaolin is very good now, the imperial court outside is still watching. Once they hear the news of Shaolin's reconstruction, they will definitely send hawks and dogs to make trouble." Ling Duoduo sighed, "People don't fight with officials, of course Our strength has been restored, but compared with the heyday of Shaolin, it is still insufficient, and we cannot confront the imperial court head-on."

Speaking of this matter, who can not worry, Zhizhi sighed habitually, and after thinking about it, he realized something was wrong: "Sanli, what I'm telling you is about the succession of the abbot, not about the imperial court. Son, don't change the subject."

Ling Duoduo has used this move several times. Every time Zhizhi mentioned this to him, he would take it out to block arrows. After many times, Zhizhi gradually came to his senses and gave him a vigilant look: "It's because of Shaolin. Sometimes there are still difficulties to be overcome, so it is more necessary for someone to stand up and make a decision-the elders are all over half a hundred years old, and they are not as courageous and talented as you young people, which also means that Senior Brother Zhishan was alive , if you don't become the abbot, who else can you make?"

"Master, you are not yet 40 years old, you are in your prime, why are you over half a century?" Ling Duoduo was amused by him, "You are still the sun in the sky, you can't take over this mess just to get rid of your disciples , just let yourself go down the mountain in advance?"

The stinky boy talked about him from left to right, and when there was no time to be happy, Zhizhi gave him a white look: "Just give me a happy word, when will you officially take over as the abbot?"

Ling Duoduo put away his joking thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Master, this disciple thinks that if Shaolin continues to develop in this trend, it will inevitably attract the fear of the imperial court, and then it will just repeat the same mistakes and be besieged again."

Zhizhi heard the unusual meaning in his voice, and his heart moved: "Why, do you have a good idea?"

Ling Duoduo nodded, and analyzed: "The reason why the imperial court instigated Wudang to burn Shaolin is because Shaolin is the leader of the martial arts. At this time when the kung fu is in decline, the imperial court hates it. If you really want to keep a low profile, follow the disciples In my humble opinion, it’s better to just split up.”

"Separation?" Chih-chih was completely confused when he heard it, and saw that he was hesitating to speak, and asked, "If you have anything to say, you can tell the truth, if it's not right, I should pretend that I didn't hear it. I won't scold you."

Ling Duoduo took a light breath: "Speaking of which, the matter of the white eyebrows gave this disciple an inspiration. If the disciple pretends to betray Shaolin, set up another sect, and fight against Shaolin on the face of it, in fact, he will use it as a aid, and it will not appear that Shaolin The dominance of one family is too conspicuous, if something bad happens, it can preserve the foundation of martial arts and benefit future generations."

He has been thinking about this idea for a long time, Ling Duoduo is full of martial arts skills that have long been lost at this time, he can't just let them really rot in his stomach, he has to choose someone to pass them on.

With the ability of him and Fang Shiyu at this time, if he wants to establish a school of martial arts, if he wants to start a situation where kung fu is at its peak, it is naturally impossible, but if he can achieve some results, it will not be possible. question.

This brat even dared to think about betraying his teacher. After hearing what he said, Zhizhi couldn't help taking a breath. After thinking about it carefully, he also felt that what he said was not unreasonable. After bowing his head and thinking for a while, Fang said: "Look It turns out that your vision is very big, and your vision is wider than ours, so it can be seen that Senior Brother Zhishan wanted to choose you as the abbot of Shaolin, and he really did not make a mistake." There was even admiration in his words.

In the past few years, the elders have also been troubled by the deadlock between Shaolin and the court. Various methods have been discussed, but no one has thought of forming another faction. On the surface, they will fight against the desire to stabilize the court, but in fact they will form an alliance. Help each other in private.

This is quite a big handwriting, and ordinary people can't think of it at all. There is a faint sense of a master. Wisdom shook his head twice in succession, but still couldn't relieve the shock in his heart. There are hills and valleys in your chest, but the teacher has underestimated you. If you leave your name in history in the future, it will not be in vain for the teacher to cultivate you."

Ling Duoduo got up quickly and said, "It's thanks to Master's upbringing that I have a disciple today. The kindness of Master is something I will never forget."

"Your idea is quite good. As the teacher knows that it is difficult for you to say it, I will discuss it with the other elders. I guess they will have no objection." Although Ling Duoduo said that he would defect from the teacher's school and set up a new one, everyone knew that this was for To fool the court, Zhizhi watched this little apprentice grow up and knew what he was like, but after thinking about it, he still felt the need to warn and express his attitude, so he said solemnly, "Sanli, I hope you will never forget Shaolin As a disciple, be kind to others, always restrain your behavior with the meaning of Shaolin martial arts, and don't let down the expectations of you as a teacher."

There is a strong sense of pride in his heart. Not every disciple can have the arrogance and ability to stand on his own at the age of 20. Zhizhi deeply feels that this apprentice is really proud of himself, and smiles at Ling Duoduo Come: "What are your plans for the future?"

"To tell the truth from the master, the disciple has already discussed with Shi Yu. After the disciple returns to the vulgar world, we will travel around with him. First adopt orphans and teach them slowly. When we find a suitable place to live, we will settle down and take our time. Development." Ling Duoduo replied softly.

This is a big project. At least he and Fang Shiyu will be busy for the next 20 years. When everything in the sect is on the right track, half of life should be over. At that time, we can find some fun and worry about not being able to kill the rest down time.

Zhizhi didn't expect Fang Shiyu to be involved in this, he was slightly taken aback, and blurted out: "It's all right for you to get together, why go out to start a sect and bring him with you, don't you think he's in the way?"

Ling Duoduo almost laughed out loud, how many years have passed, Zhizhi still remembers the years when he confronted Fang Shiyu on Jiulian Mountain, and would bring it up to talk about things from time to time.

He raised his eyes and saw that Zhizhi was a little embarrassed after he finished speaking, so he smiled and said: "Shiyu told me a while ago that he was tired of staying here and wanted to go out for a walk. The disciple thought about it." There are masters and several elders in charge here, Shiyu and I can't help if we stay here, it's better to leave together, and there is someone to take care of us on the way."

"That's right, there are quite a few young people in the Jianghu. Although you are strong in martial arts, you have some dirty tricks that are hard to defend against. Besides, it is such an easy thing to establish a faction. I am afraid that you will encounter a lot of trouble. The two of you go together. Take care of each other, so you can rest assured as a teacher." Wisdom is a practical person, and when he heard that Fang Shiyu could still protect his disciples, he immediately changed his words and no longer disliked someone, and said instead, "Once a place is determined, I will give it to me as a teacher." Write a letter to report safety, so as not to worry about the teacher."

Ling Duoduo nodded again and again, seeing that he was holding back his words and wanted to tell him, he quickly turned away and sighed pretending to be regretful: "It's a pity that Xiaoxiao went out to play with Senior Sister Li two years ago. Although she often wrote The letter came back, but her whereabouts are uncertain, I'm afraid it will be difficult to contact her for a while, and I won't be able to see her before I leave."

"What's the matter? Little Gu's family, I will definitely come back to visit once every half a year. After you decide on the place, write a letter to tell me the location, and I will see you again for the teacher, so you can take her to take a look together You." As if he was afraid that he would run away with Fang Shiyu and there would be no news, Zhizhi repeatedly urged him to write back.

Ling Duoduo couldn't laugh or cry, he responded again and again, coaxed Zhizhi away for a long time, then turned his head to the back: "I've been eavesdropping for so long, I should have heard enough, come out."

Fang Shiyu rolled down from a tree with a smile, stretched his waist, and argued: "Let me tell you first, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation, who knew that Uncle Zhizhi happened to choose a nearby tree stump to pull you to talk, If it’s about first come first, second come first, but I arrived first.”

"Okay, I know that you Fang Shiyu is upright and upright, and you are a great gentleman." Ling Duoduo responded, and seeing Fang Shiyu's mouth from ear to ear, he said helplessly, "I promised you to leave this year, and I'm sorry for delaying it for five years. No, you don't care about me, I'm already very guilty, now I finally found the right opportunity to talk to the master, it's my fault, don't make it seem like you took advantage of me taking you away generally."

"I understand your difficulties. After all, you grew up in Shaolin, and you have a special affection for this sect. Naturally, you have to see it develop enough to make you feel at ease before leaving." Fang Shiyu didn't mind this. , "Anyway, we can finally slap our ass and leave. Where do you most want to go for a walk?"

Ling Duoduo looked up at the green leaves above his head and thought for a long time, then said softly: "I want to go to Jiulian Mountain to see the burnt ruins of Shaolin Temple first, what do you think?" After all, it is the place where he grew up in this life, so he still wants to go back first Take a look, taking Jiulian Mountain as the starting point of the journey of two people also has special representative significance.

Fang Shiyu patted him on the shoulder lightly: "Of course, when we reach the top of the mountain, we will also offer a stick of incense to the master abbot and the Shaolin disciples in the martyrdom temple as a token of our affection."

Ling Duoduo's heavy heart eased a little, and he took his hand: "I am really lucky in my life to have you accompany me through the rest of the journey."

Fang Shiyu was stunned for a moment, his cheeks flushed, he withdrew his hand uncomfortably, coughed lightly, and raised his eyebrows at him: "Let's start in the direction of Jiulian Mountain——"
