After Shaolin prospered during the Yuan and Ming dynasties, during the chaotic times of the late Ming Dynasty, there were no official rewards. Shaolin relied on thousands of acres of temple property at the foot of the mountain to survive, and its scale was no longer what it used to be. [Full text reading] There are only about two hundred monks in the temple today, half of whom are fire-dwelling monks and novices, and there are more than forty warrior monks who protect the family and the monastery. Shaolin did indeed produce several martial arts masters in the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty, and they gained quite a reputation in the world. But when it comes to the world of cultivating immortals, there is no one except the wise abbot who is quite virtuous.
Bai Guyi wanted to trap him in the Shaolin Temple, so of course he would not use such inferior methods as imprisonment and imprisonment - Bai Guyi saw Lu Yuan fall from the sky with his own eyes, whether he slipped and fell or was beaten down. ——The worst in terms of status is also an immortal!
Since Lu Yuan is a person from the upper world, he must not be offended. To put it bluntly, everyone will ascend in the future. Changmei is the boss in this world, but he may not be able to protect him in the Lingkong Immortal Realm. If Lu Yuan is a well-connected person, Changmei may not be willing to stand up for him. In that case... why offend the immortal for Emei!
Rather than using hard tactics, it would be better to use soft knives and trap him with family ties, favors, etc.
Bai Guyi saw that Lu Yuan was dressed like a young monk, and it was obvious that he was related to Buddhism. If Lu Yuan is sent to Tianmeng Divine Monk and Shenni Youtan, if they want to accept another apprentice on a whim, with the status of those great monks, even the Changmei Lower Realm will not be able to stop him. Therefore, he had to choose someone who was neither high nor low. After thinking about it for a while, he settled on the intelligent abbot of Songshan Shaolin Temple.
Bai Guyi and Zhu Mei are known as the two elders of Songshan Mountain. They often discuss Taoism in Songshan Mountain and are quite familiar with Shaolin Abbot Zhi Zhi. Zhi Zhi knew that these two were senior masters and that his own moral conduct was far inferior, so he naturally flattered them carefully. He did not dare not agree to Bai Guyi's request.
As a righteous person, Bai Guyi's purpose is somewhat ulterior, so naturally he cannot explain it clearly. He said a few vague words and then left Lu Yuan and left. The smart abbot secretly understood this - that is, he must entertain well but cannot teach his true skills. So Zhizhi discussed politely with Lu Yuan. "This benefactor is destined to be my Buddha. How about I accept you as my disciple on behalf of my master? Junior brother can take the Buddhist name Zhicong. Now there are only you and me in the generation of Zhi Cong in Shaolin. Junior brother can do whatever he wants."
"And~" Lu Yuan squinted at the old monk who lowered his head and sneered. He simply exposed it and said, "You accept disciples as teachers just because you don't want others to teach me the art of cultivation! In that case, forget about the name! Smart abbot...Smart...your name is quite interesting." Lu Yuan laughed. I laughed twice and thought, should I take a Dharma name and call it "IQ"? But he only changed his mind. Just nip your thoughts in the bud - absolutely not, otherwise you will be laughed at by those who are peeping for the rest of your life!
So Lu Yuan casually put his hands together and said, "We were also Shaolin disciples in our early years. My senior brother's name is Yuan Heng. Well... I'll just call him Yuan Shu. One horizontal line and one vertical line, which is in line with my master's naming principles."
After saying that, Lu Yuan rolled his sleeves and went to the Shaolin Temple to find a comfortable monk's room. But when he was going out, he remembered that "Yuan Shu" was homophonic with "Yuan Shu", and he could not escape the fate of being ridiculed.
So Lu Yuan accompanies himself and says, "It's not too late to choke in the middle of winter." The sword horse walked up, posing with orchid fingers and singing softly, "At the end of the Han Dynasty, swordsmen and soldiers were everywhere. Yuan Shu was too rampant for no reason. He did not want to be a public minister for many years, so he wanted to be an emperor alone. He was raped and boasted in vain to pass down the national seal, and he was arrogant and extravagant and said that he should be Tianxiang." Thirsting for honey and water, I can't help but lie alone on an empty bed and vomit blood and die..." (Luo Guanzhong's poem
"Yuanzi generation?" The intelligent abbot was quite embarrassed, because Yuanzi generation is now the lowest-level character in Shaolin. "Oh, forget it. He seems to be a well-established person, let him be happy." Thinking of this, Zhi Zhi quickly followed behind him and shouted, "Junior brother. Junior brother! Now the world is in chaos and the road is not peaceful... Junior brother, if you are on weekdays... If you feel stuffy, just walk around in the mountains and Dengfeng County, but don't travel far."
"Haha~ Got it." Lu Yuan shook his head and sang a little song before walking away.
Zhi Zhi sighed, as if he suddenly thought of something. He quickly went to the Sutra Collection Building to find out among the stacks of old papers, the directory of Shaolin's past dynasties and search carefully. He kept looking forward until he found the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, when he found a warrior monk named "Yuan Heng", which was more than 300 years ago. Zhi Zhi was at a loss - it should be noted that Shaolin uses 70 characters to determine seniority, and the monk whose seniority is determined by the character "Yuan" is either five generations below him, which is the lowest seniority in Shaolin.
Or there is another possibility, that is, he is a full 64 generations older than him! It’s Master, Ancestor, Ancestor, Ancestor...
*****
In the main hall of Shaolin Temple, a heroic girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old suddenly appeared!
It should be noted that women have always been prohibited from entering the Shaolin Temple, including princes and nobles without exception! At this time, a woman suddenly appeared and stood in front of the Buddha's golden body to look at it casually. She was simply blaspheming the traditions of Shaolin, and all the monks were immediately furious!
In line with the principle of courtesy first and then fighting, several eminent monks of the "zi" generation suppressed their anger and asked the young novice monk to ask the girl how to do it. But the girl neither knew her name nor told her where she came from. She just held a letter in her delicate hand and said, "My master ordered me to submit a letter to the wise abbot. As for the little girl's identity, the abbot will know it at a glance."
But when the little novice reached out to pick up the letter, before his fingers even touched the envelope, his body felt like a thunderbolt! Trembling and falling to one side. The little novice monk called for help, but several novice monks and monks came forward to take the letter, and the end was the same! In the main hall, the big and small monks fell to the ground!
It happened that Abbot Zhizhi was in retreat at this time, and the eminent monk of the "Zi" generation guessed that this girl was probably a Taoist who could not compete with mere martial arts, so he was unwilling to come out and embarrass himself, and the two sides were in a stalemate for a while.
At this time, Lu Yuan happened to step into the door of the hall humming a little tune. Seeing him, all the monks' eyes lit up as if they were seeing a savior. Some shouted "Uncle, little master, help!" and some shouted, "Uncle, come and help!" It was very noisy and lively. Although Lu Yuan had no internal strength or spiritual power, he was able to beat the whole temple into obedience within seven years with just a pair of iron fists, and was deeply loved by the monks.
Moreover, Lu Yuan always had a lazy look with a smile on his face. He never bullied others based on his status. He would give out any good things to everyone, so everyone sincerely called him "Little Master's Uncle".
Lu Yuanzheng was wandering in the world, recalling the past when he first entered the temple. After being woken up by someone, he was immediately angry, "Who is it? How dare you interrupt me to reminisce about the green years! You scumbags who are destined to live a lonely life... Hey, this beautiful one Who is the little girl?" The monks were silent. The corners of Qi Qi's mouth twitched. Uncle Master, in front of outsiders, will you die if you don't go crazy for a while?
Having defeated so many people, the girl already felt a little regretful at this time.
She studied under Master Fengxia from Huangshan Mountain. Master Fengxia studied under Shenni Youtan and is a well-known branch of Buddhism in the world of cultivating immortals. Originally, her master, Master Feng Xia, saw that she was successful in her studies, so he sent her down the mountain in the name of delivering letters, taking the opportunity to meet some people of the same faith and make good friends. Although the smart abbot is not of high moral character. But it can be regarded as a branch of Buddhism, and it was also included in the letters and visits of Master Fengxia.
But when the girl traveled around the world, she often heard how great the Shaolin Temple was, but on the contrary, her sect was unknown among ordinary people! So the girl was angry for a moment, so she wanted to come and measure the depth of Shaolin Temple in the name of worshiping the mountain! Unexpectedly, after a try, I discovered that the entire Shaolin Temple was filled with ordinary people, not even half a cultivator of immortals! She immediately regretted the change from favoring her peers to bullying the weak.
Originally, she had planned to let the water go when the next person came. Just let him take the letter away. But when the little monk in front of her said "little girl", she immediately became furious again!
"My master ordered me to submit a letter to Abbot Smart... Who are you?!" The girl looked at the beautiful monk in front of her who was about the same age as her, and felt very unhappy for no reason.
"The poor monk Yuanzhu, the female donor invited me." Lu Yuan clasped his hands together and gestured casually, then reached out to grab the letter. "Master, uncle, be careful!" A group of monks still lying on the ground warned in unison, but Lu Yuan seemed not to hear them.
The girl secretly snorted, looking at the lake silk robe worn by the monk in front of her, which was close to the body and soft; the Buddhist beads made of South Sea coral hanging around her neck were all transparent; even the clams on her bald head were of the best quality. Oil! Poor monk, where are you poor? ! Girl, my year's pocket money is not as valuable as your Buddhist beads! Think of this. The girl gritted her teeth and added another five points of skill to the letter! Just to throw this messy little monk out of the hall in one breath!
"It's for the abbot, right? I understand." Lu Yuan picked up the letter from the girl's hand gently and deftly, and looked at the sun. Tuck it casually into your sleeve. "My abbot is masturbating in seclusion. You can leave first. I will hand it over to him when I remember."
"You..." The girl was completely shocked. What happened just now? Why is it that the four layers of power I put on the letter are still there, but he took the letter away so easily? "Wait a minute! My master, Huangshan Fengxia, is the young master a disciple of Master Zhi? And... what does Purple House mean?"
"I am a disciple of my Buddha." Lu Yuan replied lazily. "As for Purple House, that's our Buddhist term. If you don't understand it, don't ask around."
In fact, as soon as the girl reported her inheritance, Lu Yuan immediately thought that she was Zhou Qingyun - one of the "Three Heroes and Two Clouds", the daughter of "Three Heroes of Qilu" Zhou Chun, the future sword master of Qingsuo Sword, and also a very good person. Awesome character. It's just that in the book, this person is also the one who has been most thoroughly brainwashed by "the destiny cannot be violated". So as soon as Lu Yuan knew that she was Zhou Qingyun, he immediately felt that it was not interesting.
No matter how beautiful a person is, if they keep talking about their fate all day long, living like a marionette of heaven, what's the point of it?
"You said you are a disciple of Buddha, then why don't you worship Buddha when you see him?" Zhou Qingyun pointed at the golden body of Buddha in the main hall, deliberately making things difficult.
"It's just a puppet of Kong Xin'er, what's there to worship?" Lu Yuan's words secretly mocked Zhou Qingyun, but no one could hear it at this time. "By the way, since your master is Master Fengxia, you should also be considered my Buddhist disciple, right?" Lu Yuan counterattacked, "Then why do you still have your hair and wear a floral skirt?"
"I..." Zhou Qingyun gritted her teeth slightly with hatred, what's wrong with me wearing a skirt! "The little girl is a lay disciple."
"All lay people are not disciples - if you don't shave your head, your six roots will be impure. If the six roots are impure, how can you talk about practice!" Lu Yuan accused confidently. But he seemed to have forgotten that when he was in Yitian's world, he had been a lay disciple for decades.
"The six impure roots refer to the eyes! Ears! Nose! Tongue! Body! Mind! It has nothing to do with hair!" Zhou Qingyun was going crazy and said every word in anger. Does my hair have a grudge against you? Why do you always hold on to my hair?
"I'm a monk, don't I know better than you?" As a result, Lu Yuan glanced at her with disdain and drifted away, leaving Zhou Qingyun, whose face was red with anger, and the monk lying on the ground... all the monks were amazed. Amitabha, my uncle’s ability to make strong arguments is too powerful!
Just when the monks looked up at Lu Yuan's back, they saw the young master's uncle suddenly pushed open the door of the hall and ran in angrily. I saw him jumping over everyone, rushing into the aisle behind the palace, and then flying up and kicking the door of the abbot's room!
Everyone, including Zhou Qingyun, heard him curse loudly——
"Bald donkey, how dare you snatch a dog from me!"
