"There are six other Taoist priests under Wu Qian, called Liu Zhenren, who are highly skilled in martial arts. It is said that they come from the Dali Kingdom, but their martial arts are unknown. Because of Wu Qian and the masters under him, Dongchang is not only powerful but also powerful. Higher than Xichang, even Jin Yiwei has to give them three points." Another monk in his fifties said uneasily.
"Junior Brother Zhu, Dongchang is coming to arrest you today, saying that you are a rebel. Where did this start? I wonder where your parents are? Is it related to them?" Qingxu stood up and paced back and forth in the room. Suddenly he turned around and asked Zhu Yu, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon on the ground.
"My parents were captured by officers and soldiers eight years ago. I don't know whether they are alive or dead now. As for why they captured my parents, Master Kongshi of Zhengxu Zen Temple in Shizishan should know the reason, but he said that I I was still young and didn't tell me, so the officers and soldiers said I was a rebel, maybe it has something to do with my parents." Zhu Yu said, looking at several uncles and uncles.
"So, Master Kongshi must have told Abbot Master Kongwu about your life experience when he sent you to Shaolin. You can ask him another day and you will know." Qingxu said with confidence.
In the next few days, the monks of the Shaolin Temple did what they were supposed to do every day. The difference was that they were on heightened alert. The monks still slept in the Zen room near the temple gate. Calculating the distance from the capital to Shaolin, it would take at least ten minutes to go back and forth on horseback. It took about 10 days for Zhang Han to move Wu Qian and his officers and soldiers, unless Wu Qian was nearby.
Sure enough, in the middle of the night on the tenth day after Zhang Han left, the monk on duty outside the mountain gate suddenly ran back to the temple and shouted: "The officers and soldiers are coming, the officers and soldiers are coming, everyone, get up and defend yourself against the enemy." When the monk finished speaking, there was only I heard the sound of war horses neighing from far to near, and it was clear that they were outside the temple gate.
The monks were well prepared. They picked up sticks and rushed to the front of the temple. Other monks carried rice, noodles, vegetables and other daily necessities. They escaped from the back door by the moonlight and hid towards the back mountain of the Shaolin Temple to prevent Shaolin. Being breached and unable to evacuate.
Master Kong Xin slowly opened the temple door, and saw hundreds of officers and soldiers with bright armor and neat military appearance, majestically riding horses and lining up outside the courtyard gate under the bright torches. It could be seen that this group of officers and soldiers was obviously more powerful than ten The team led by Zhang Han a few days ago was more effective.
In front of the officers and soldiers, there were two people riding on tall war horses, carrying swords on their backs, and dressed in short clothes. One was Zhang Han who had been here before, and the other looked short, with a thin face and gleaming eyes. It was Qingcheng Mountain. Lingyazi's high disciple, Wu Qian, the commander of Dongchang Capital.
Seeing the Shaolin monks led by Master Kong Xin, Wu Qian clasped his hands on the horse and said loudly: "Which of you is the abbot, come forward and speak."
Hearing that Wu Qian wanted to see the abbot as soon as he opened his mouth, Qingxu and several disciples of his generation stepped forward with sticks in hand and stood in front of Master Kong Xin.
"Master Kong Xin, the abbot of our temple, has been ill recently. I am Kong Xin, my junior brother Kong Wu. If General Wu has anything to say, just tell me." Master Kong Xin clasped his hands together and said slowly.
"Stop pretending. As long as you hand over the traitor named Zhu, I will let you go from Shaolin. Otherwise, don't blame my men for being ruthless." Wu Gan pulled out his sword and pointed at Kong Xin.
Wu Qian had practiced martial arts with Lingyazi for many years. He not only practiced martial arts of the Qingcheng School, but also had a set of Baji swordsmanship that was superb. Unfortunately, he was greedy for wealth and went to the capital to join Dongchang. Lingyazi had no choice but to break up with him. The friendship of disciples.
Kong Xin knew that Wu Qian was not a good person, so he used his internal strength secretly, and waited for Wu Qian to stab him with his sword. However, he heard Zhang Han pointing at Zhu Yu next to Kong Xin and shouting: "General Wu, that's this kid, catch him quickly."
Wu Gan looked in the direction of his finger and saw a child holding a stick in his hand, looking at him angrily. Wu Gan jumped off the horse without saying a word, holding a sword in one hand and a sword in the other. Catch Zhu Yu.
Wu Qian's nonchalant behavior shocked all the Shaolin disciples present. He would never do such a thing unless he was confident in his martial arts skills.
Seeing that Wu Qian was only a foot away from him, Zhu Yu hurriedly raised the stick in his hand and subconsciously stabbed Wu Qian's wrist holding the sword. However, Zhu Yu's stick was only a few feet away when Wu Qian's sword was already swung out, and the tip of the sword was swung out. It was less than three feet away from Zhu Yu.
Just when Zhu Yu was about to be stabbed in the face by Wu Qian's sword, there was only a "dang" sound. Wu Qian's sword was struck by a wooden stick flying from nowhere. The sword missed and hit the air next to Zhu Yu. Yuan's arm, only to hear Kong Yuan yell, his body fell to the side, the monks next to him hurriedly supported him and stopped his bleeding.
Wu Qian knew how powerful the Shaolin monks were, so he put away his sword and stepped back a few feet. He looked up and saw Master Kong Xin holding a wooden stick, blocking Zhu Yu and several other young monks.
Although the Shaolin Temple is famous for its swordsmanship, in order not to kill at will, the real enemies are only used with sticks, which naturally lacks a bit of deterrence. However, the cloud-piercing stick technique passed down from unknown time is everyone has practiced it to perfection, and can deal with officers and soldiers. It's a no-brainer.
Kong Xin used his stick to block the sword, showing his strong inner strength. Wu Qian did not dare to be arrogant anymore, but calmed down, transferred his inner strength into the palm of his hand, held the sword tightly, held a sword flower, and then pointed the tip of the sword at Kong Xin. .
Here, Kong Xin also had enough energy in his Dantian and raised his stick to prepare to attack Wu Qian, but he heard Zhang Han behind Wu Qian shouting: "Soldiers, come together." As soon as Zhang Han finished speaking, the soldiers behind him started shouting. He dismounted, raised his sword and spear and charged towards the monks. Here, Wu Qian was already fighting with Master Kong Xin.
As expected, Wu Qian had been taught by a famous master and had a set of swordsmanship that was watertight. Coupled with his deep internal strength, Kong Xin was gradually at a disadvantage. However, Wu Qian brought too many soldiers, and all of them had martial arts skills. The Shaolin monks had With fewer enemies and more enemies, we are on the verge of defeat before we know it.
Suddenly, a black shadow flew out from the Shaolin Temple and landed between Kong Xin and Wu Qian. As soon as the black shadow landed, it hit Wu Qian's chest. When Wu Qian saw the black shadow suddenly appear, he channeled his inner energy to With his left hand that was not holding the sword, when the black shadow struck him with his palm, he raised his left palm to meet the attack. When the two feet met, Wu Qian felt a huge force pass through his palm and hit his chest, and his body became unconscious. He flew backwards and fell to the ground three or four feet away, but the black shadow turned around and disappeared.
Everyone present was shocked by this sudden turn of events. They stopped fighting one after another and looked towards Wu Qian. They saw Wu Qian vomiting out three or four mouthfuls of blood, struggling to utter the word "withdraw", turned his head, and passed out.
Seeing that Wu Qian was injured and unconscious, Zhang Han had no choice but to have Wu Qian lifted up and let the soldiers carry the dead and wounded soldiers on horses and retreat down the mountain in despair.
While the monks were busy treating the injured disciples, they suddenly heard someone shouting that there was a fire. Everyone rushed into the temple and saw that the entire Shaolin Temple was in flames, and seven or eight temples and meditation rooms were in flames.
Except for the monks who treated the wounded, all the other monks, under the command of Master Kong Xin, found pots and jars that could hold water, and went to the release pool and the ditch flowing into the temple to scoop water to extinguish the fire. Unfortunately, the fire was too strong, and at dawn, Several main halls and meditation rooms that caught fire were eventually burned to rubble.
The sun rises from the mountains. Through the smoke floating in the air, you can see the rays of light reflected on the top of the mountain. The Shaolin monks stood in front of the ruins of the Main Hall, silently looking at the burned hall. No one said a word for a long time. talk.
"Zhu Yu, you go to Tianlong Mountain. The sky is high there and the emperor is far away. It is not safe in Shaolin Temple." Master Kongwu whispered to Zhu Yu who was standing aside.
"Why is this? Why do the officers and soldiers want to arrest me? Who are my parents?" Zhu Yu turned around, raised his head and asked Kong Wu.
"Amitabha, how good! How good!" Master Kongwu clasped his hands together, recited the Buddha's name once, and said: "You are the grandson of Emperor Jianwen in the previous life. During the Jingnan War, your grandfather was defeated and fled overseas, and your father was born overseas. When you were four years old, your parents returned from overseas and were discovered by officers and soldiers, so they were taken away. Unexpectedly, they found out about your whereabouts and found you in Shaolin."
"So, the disaster in Shaolin was all caused by me." Zhu Yu said uneasily.
"It's not your fault, Zhu Yu. The only fault is that Zhu Di rebelled against your grandfather. His descendants were worried that you, the orthodox descendant of the emperor, would take over their world, so they wanted to put you to death. You will have long nights and many dreams. You should leave now. Well, Shaolin will survive this disaster." After Master Kongwu finished speaking, he handed Zhu Yu a letter. "When you arrive at Tianlong Mountain, give this letter to Lan Yiming, the leader of the Tianlong Sect, and he will take you in."
"But! But! Master Kongwu, what should you do if the officers and soldiers come again?" Zhu Yu asked worriedly.
"You can go with peace of mind. For more than a thousand years, Shaolin has encountered this kind of thing not once or twice. When the officers and soldiers come, we will fight if we can win. If we can't win, all the monks in the temple will retreat to the back mountain to take shelter temporarily. Head, everything will be fine." Master Kongwu said that Zhu Yu could no longer say anything about staying, so he ran to the backyard and said goodbye to Master Qingli.
When Qingli told Zhu Yu that if something happened to Shaolin, he would definitely take action, Zhu Yu realized that it was Uncle Qingli who injured Wu Gan last night.
"Uncle Qingli, you defeated Wu Qian with one move last night. What technique did you use?" Zhu Yu asked Qingli tentatively.
Qingli smiled faintly: "There is no distinction between good and bad Kung Fu. As long as you work hard, you can achieve peerless martial arts with any Kung Fu. The only difference is that everyone has different understandings. When you go to Tianlong Mountain, you must Practice your martial arts well, and you will be able to take on big responsibilities in the future."
Zhu Yu said goodbye to Qingli and went back to the Zen room to pack his bags. Master Kong Xin took the monks to send Zhu Yu to the mountain gate.
Zhu Yu followed Master Kongwu's instructions and did not take the main road. Instead, he walked to a place dozens of feet away from the mountain gate, then turned westward, crossed a small river, and walked into the mountain forest along a narrow path.
At this time, Zhu Yu had taken off the monk's robes and wore a slightly worn black cloth. He was carrying a cloth-wrapped baggage on his back, which contained some scraps of silver, some dry food and a few changes of clothes. , and the letter Kong Wu wrote to Lan Ling'er's father had been sewn into his clothes by the skillful Kong Ling. While Kong Ling was sewing the letter, he repeatedly warned Zhu Yu to let Lan Ling'er practice well and not to worry. Own.
Climbing a high mountain, there was a mountain cave in front of him. Zhu Yu went down to the bottom of the cave and found a small river at the bottom of the cave. It was already afternoon. Zhu Yu felt a little hungry, so he found a flat stone to sit down and took out dry food to eat. stand up.
Zhu Yu was full and took a few mouthfuls of water from the river to drink. He stood up and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a "hum hum hum hum" sound coming from behind him. Zhu Yu was startled and turned around to see that he was standing behind him. There was a huge bear standing on its hind legs, standing upright like a human being, twirling its front paws, as if teasing itself.
Compared with tigers, bears are slightly clumsy, but their strength is amazing. They can run better than ordinary people and are no less aggressive than tigers.
Zhu Yu didn't have any weapons in his hands, so he lowered his head and quietly grabbed two stones, waiting for the giant bear to rush forward so that he could fight back with the stones.
The giant bear didn't seem to be in a hurry. It still landed on its hind legs and walked slowly towards Zhu Yu step by step. When it was still seven or eight feet away from Zhu Yu, the giant bear suddenly lowered its body, landed on its front feet, and rushed towards Zhu Yu. Zhu Yu subconsciously He threw the two stones in his hand at the giant bear, but one stone hit the giant bear's thick buttocks and bounced to the side, apparently not causing any harm to the giant bear. The other stone rubbed the giant bear's head. It hit the ground.
Zhu Yu's counterattack obviously angered the giant bear. Hearing a loud roar of "Woo", the giant bear opened its teeth and claws and rushed towards Zhu Yu. When Zhu Yu saw the bear rushing toward him, Zhu Yu turned to one side to avoid the giant bear's attack. He missed the attack, turned around, and grabbed Zhu Yu with his two front paws. At this critical moment, Zhu Yu suddenly felt a huge internal force rising from his Dantian, and instantly spread to the palms of his hands. He took advantage of the situation and slapped the giant bear's chest. The giant bear was struck by Zhu Yu's palm force. After being hit, he flew out and rolled three or four times on the ground, then dragged his injured body and moved towards the dense forest little by little.
After the figure of the giant bear disappeared into the dense forest, Zhu Yu regained consciousness. The palm power he used before was the powerful Vajra Palm taught to him by Master Kongkong. He practiced it every day, but he had never used it before. Today He was shocked when he suddenly used it. But when he used the powerful Vajra Palm to hit the boulder, he couldn't gather the inner strength before, so he had to give up.
In this way, Zhu Yu looked towards the south, climbed mountains and waded through small paths, and walked for seven or eight days. It was not until he had finished all the dry food he had brought and estimated that he was far away from Shaolin that he asked the mountain people for directions and walked onto the official road.
