It is said that if Mei Guanlie wants to deal with the Shaolin Sect, he should go directly to the abbot of the Shaolin Temple, Master Wei Nian, and his two junior brothers, Wei Ming and Wei Xing. How come he first turns his target to an unknown wild man? Monk?
It turns out that this wild monk is not that ordinary. First of all, although he is a wild monk with no family, no sect, no Buddha and no temple, he often goes to the Shaolin Temple to hang out and talk about Buddhism and Taoism with Master Wei Nian. The relationship between the two is also extraordinary.
Originally, this wild monk only came to Shaolin Temple every four or five years. But recently, this wild monk has been traveling around Songshan Mountain to visit Buddha, and he has no intention of leaving. Although Mei Guanlie didn't know what he meant, she always felt that he did it intentionally and seemed to have other intentions.
Mei Guanlie has never dared to take action against the Shaolin Temple because of this wild monk who refused to leave. The reason why Mei Guanlie was afraid of him was because this wild monk's martial arts skills were surprisingly high. If he was near the Shaolin Temple, based on his relationship with Master Wei Nian, if something happened to the Shaolin Temple, he would never stand by. Mei Guanlie is still very confident in dealing with the Shaolin Sect, but once this wild monk intervenes, the situation will immediately change. Therefore, this wild monk is the biggest variable, because he
The strength is far superior to the old monks Wei Nian, Wei Ming and Wei Xing. If Mei Guanlie faced him, there was really no guarantee of victory.
He must first set up a game to get rid of this wild monk, and then he can concentrate on dealing with the Shaolin sect.
No one knows this wild monk’s name or where he comes from. They only know that he is called Zen Master Xiu Ku. In the past, he would only come to Shaolin Temple once every four to five years, and he would only stay for a few days to talk about Buddhism and Taoism with Master Wei Nian, and then leave alone again.
It's just that although this monk has great martial arts and profound Buddhist teachings, he doesn't look like a truly enlightened monk. Because eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling were all four things he enjoyed, except for whoring. Moreover, he likes wine and meat, and he is not happy without meat or wine. He is completely a wild monk.
In the Shaolin Temple, except for the abbot master, no monk could stand his behavior.
It is for this reason that every time he goes to Shaolin Temple, he can only stay for a few days before having to leave again. Because except for Master Wei Nian, the abbot, no one else wanted to see him. However, he did go too far in some things. For example, they smuggled wine and meat into the Shaolin Temple, and also tricked some novice monks into eating meat and drinking wine, saying that "the wine and meat passed through the intestines and remained in the heart of the Buddha." How could those little monks understand these principles? Naturally, he was deceived, and then he broke the precepts and was punished.
The two great masters, Wei Ming and Wei Xing, rarely complained to Master Wei Nian about Zen Master Xiu Ku, but Master Wei Nian always protected him.
These days, Master Xiu Ku is checking in at Fajue Temple, a small temple at the foot of Songshan Mountain. He has stayed there for more than twenty days, but he has never left.
Fajue Temple can also be regarded as an external branch of Shaolin Temple. There are no masters in it. There is only an old monk, Master Faqing, who is practicing with a few junior monks.
Master Faqing's martial arts skills were average, he was just a real ascetic monk, and he never participated in the disputes between Jiang and Hu. However, he has one skill that Zen Master Xiu Ku admires very much, and that is his chess skills.
For more than twenty days, Zen Master Xiu Ku and the old monk Faqing have been playing chess. They don’t know how many games they have played. Zen Master Xiu Ku has never won a game. He vowed to win one game before leaving, but unfortunately, the old monk Faqing had always been superior in skills and never gave in, and Zen Master Xiuku still couldn't take advantage at all.
However, practicing hard as a Zen master is not without its rewards. As the saying goes, you need to find a master to play chess, because a master can make you better at chess.
Although Zen Master Xiu Ku has never won, his chess skills have actually improved a lot.
In the last game, the two old monks forgot to eat and sleep. They had been playing for three days and three nights, but there was still no winner.
