Fu Tianpeng survived the catastrophe and was rescued by Master Fashan, the abbot and abbot of the Southern Shaolin Temple. Although his life is not in danger, due to the strong Wuxiang Magic in his body at that time, his tendons and veins were severed and his energy and blood were stagnant, so now Fu Tianpeng is completely like a useless person. Thinking that he had not avenged his revenge and suffered such a misfortune, Fu Tianpeng pulled out the Bibo knife to seek short-sightedness. At this life-and-death moment, Fu Tianpeng only felt a soreness in his arm after hearing a crisp "ding-dong" sound, and then the Bibo knife fell to the ground.
"Amitabha, God has the virtue of a good life, why should the young hero seek trouble for himself?" When the voice came, Fu Tianpeng took a closer look and saw three monks appearing in front of him at the same time. The person in front of him is his savior, the abbot, Master Fashan. The other master, one fat and one thin, following Fa Shan, Fu Tianpeng, had never met them before.
Master Fashan leaned over and picked up the blue wave sword. The blade of the sword had a cold light, like a cold star and a cold moon. "What a blue wave sword." Master Fashan said while handing the sword to Fu Tianpeng. Fu Tianpeng couldn't help being surprised when he saw that the abbot could actually name the sword. Master Fashan said to Fu Tianpeng: "Young knight, when it comes to this sword, I can say that I have a close relationship with it. At that time, General Fu Cha led his army south to suppress the invaders and helped our temple recover the treasure of the temple, the Frost Iron Wandering Dragon Whip. I have seen this blue-wave sword. To express my gratitude to the general, I personally copied a copy of "The Eight Shaolin Tuna Methods" and gave it to him. General Fu hid the formula inside the sword compilation so that he could practice it in his spare time. Later, I heard that General Fu was poisoned and killed by bad guys. A generation of loyal and good people died just like this. It is really sad."
The abbot's words brought back Fu Tianpeng's sad memories. How he hoped that he could kill the culprit and do something useful for the court, the country and the people of Li, but now... Thinking of this, crystal tears fell from Fu Tianpeng's delicate face. Alas, men don’t shed tears easily, but they are not sad yet. Master Fashan patted Fu Tianpeng on the shoulder with his vigorous right hand. Then he comforted him and said: "Young hero, how can I, the Buddha, be so compassionate and ignore the suffering of all sentient beings? This time, I invited two junior brothers to come here to discuss countermeasures and help you restore your skills."
As soon as Master Fashan said these words, Fu Tianpeng was like the clouds turning to see the sun, and the haze in Fu Tianpeng's heart disappeared. He cupped his fists and bowed deeply to the three eminent monks to thank them for their great kindness. Fashan said to Fu Tianpeng: "Time is running out. You come with us to the inner hall of Damo Academy. The three of us will use the Yi Jin Jing magic to help you reconnect the damaged tendons." After Fashan said that, he led Fu Tianpeng towards Damo Academy. direction.
After Fu Tianpeng followed the eminent monks to Damo Monastery, the gate was immediately closed. The Shaolin disciples served on the left and right sides, each holding a three-foot-long demon-conquering stick in their hands. They were constantly vigilant about the surroundings and did not let anyone come near. The three masters Fashan, Fakong and Faming sit on a triangular line, with Fu Tianpeng in the middle. Then Fa Shan, Fa Kong, and Fa Ming injected their respective true energy into Fu Tianpeng's Dazhui, Qihai, and Tianmen acupoints to help Fu Tianpeng heal his injuries. Fu Tianpeng's head was filled with mist, and a red light suddenly appeared on his face. He only felt three streams of heat running through his body, and the true energy that was constantly gathering in his chest surged like a sea tide. Fu Tianpeng couldn't control himself. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he fell unconscious again.
The first monk of Bodhidharma Academy felt Fu Tianpeng's pulse, and then said to the abbot: "Brother Abbot, Shaoxia Fu has injured his five internal organs. The Qi of the three of us are mutually exclusive. If we continue to heal his injuries, I am afraid it will endanger his life." Fashan and Fakong nodded after hearing what Faming said. They asked Faming what they should do. Faming told the two senior brothers that at the moment, the only way to reconnect Fu Tianpeng's muscles and veins is to use the temple's sacred healing medicine Baekje Dan. After a month, treatment strategies will be decided based on his recovery from the injury.
After the plan was settled, the three eminent monks walked out of Bodhidharma Hall. When leaving, Master Fashan warned the monks to protect Fu Tianpeng's safety. The monks agreed wholeheartedly, and Fashan and others went about their business in the temple.
As a touch of red clouds set in the west, night took over the sky. Slowly, the surroundings became dim as if splashed with ink. On the secluded path covered with bluestones, a man was walking forward quickly with a wind lantern. Because the wind was very strong tonight, the windproof paper of the lantern was blown by the wind and made a "puff" sound. The man muttered: "Hey, after delivering the medicine, I have to go to the fire room for inspection. It seems that I won't be able to sleep well all night." The man just walked forward talking to himself, but he didn't know that the danger was coming quietly.
Large swaths of thick clouds greedily devoured the remaining light of the waning moon, and a few partridges flapped their wings and fled into the distance. Looking at it like this, a shower is inevitable. The man holding the wind lantern was staring blankly at the sky when suddenly a man in black jumped out from the depths of a dense leaf. This person's body moves like a stray rabbit, strange and abnormal. Before the man with the lantern could react at all, the man in black "crossed the Chu River" with a move, slapped his face and fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the man in black dragged the body of the monk who was patrolling the night with a lantern to the depths of the jungle and buried it, then changed his clothes and sneaked into the temple. A bolt of lightning pierced the night sky and heavy rain began to pour. Soon, the entire temple was filled with deep depressions. Despite the bad weather, the night watch monks did not neglect at all. They were like wooden stakes wedged into the deep ground, firmly guarding the safety of Bodhidharma Hall.
A light flickered on the winding path, accompanied by the sound of tiny footsteps. A monk stretches his left leg forward and steps back with his right leg. His arms are coiled around the dragon and holding a staff, and he performs the "Qi Penetrating the Rainbow" move to meet the enemy. The visitor coughed slightly, and the stick-wielding monk looked with the faint light of the lantern and found out that it was his junior brother Kong Jing. He said to Kong Jing: "Junior brother Kong Jing, why did the medicine arrive so late today? Uncle Fa Ming has sent people to inquire several times. Please send the medicine in quickly and give it to Fu Shaoxia."
Kongjing didn't answer, just nodded, pushed open the door of Bodhidharma Hall and walked straight to the inner room. At this moment, Fu Tianpeng was falling asleep on the couch due to internal injuries. His delicate and handsome face had lost its rosy color and was replaced by paleness and haggardness. Seeing no one around, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He took out a sharp blade from his waist and prepared to kill Fu Tianpeng with one blow.
Just as he was about to commit the murder, he heard a deep voice coming from outside. "Did Kong Jing send medicine to Fu Shaoxia?" The person who spoke was Fa Ming. When Kongjing saw Faming coming, he hurriedly hid the short blade deep in his sleeve, then took out the medicine pot and soup bowl, ground the Baekje pills into powder and mixed them with water. When he brought the decoction to Fu Tianpeng, Fa Ming also opened the door of the inner room and walked in.
The first person in the Bodhidharma Hall is a master of both internal and external skills and has excellent martial arts. Kongjing felt uneasy when facing such a master. In his panic, half of the bowl of soup spilled on himself. Faming was very angry when he saw that Kongjing was so careless in doing things. He said to Kong Jing: "You are always meticulous and rigorous in doing things, why are you so ridiculous today?" Kong Jing heard Fa Ming's accusation and quickly put the medicine bowl on the table. He turned around, buried his head very low, and replied tremblingly: "I'm telling you, uncle, it was only because I was a disciple who was also in charge of the affairs of the fire workshop and I was tired for a while, that's why I made a fool of myself."
Faming heard Kongjing's answer and thought it was very reasonable. After all, a person's energy is limited, and it is indeed very hard for Kongjing to patrol the night these past few days. Thinking of this, Fa Ming waved his hand towards Kong Jing, motioning for him to exit first. Kong Jing saluted Fa Ming and then walked outside. As soon as he turned around, Fa Ming shouted from behind: "Come back and take your medicine box away. Otherwise, how will you deliver medicine to Fu Shaoxia tomorrow?"
Kongjing nodded again, took the medicine box and disappeared. At this time, after Faming woke up Fu Tianpeng, he explained to him what he had just done to deliver the medicine. Master Faming is willing to ask Fu Tianpeng to forgive the temple for its poor care. After Fu Tianpeng drank the decoction, he felt a little more energetic.
He stood up and gave a deep salute to Master Faming, and then said: "Thanks to all the divine monks for saving me, even if Tianpeng is shattered to pieces, it is difficult to repay the great kindness. How dare you have any words of resentment?" Faming laughed and hurriedly said Fu Tianpeng helped him up. He said to Fu Tianpeng: "The young hero is still seriously injured, so he should lie down on the couch to recover. It's late at night, so I can't disturb him."
After that, Faming stood up and left. At this time, Fu Tianpeng saw that Fa Ming's whole body was soaked by the rain, and his shoes were also extremely wet. Not far from Fa Ming, there were still several clear footprints. Fu Tianpeng said to Fa Ming: "Master, I saw that the rain outside was very heavy. Where you passed before, the footprints are still so clear and complete."
Faming didn't pay attention to the footprints at first, but when he heard what Fu Tianpeng said. He saw a pair of faint footprints under his feet, and he became more and more confused. He shook his head repeatedly and kept saying: "It's really weird." Fu Tianpeng saw Fa Ming's frown and immediately thought that the pair of clear footprints were not Fa Ming's. In order to confirm his judgment, he said to Faming: "Master, those footprints next to you were not left by you."
Fu Tianpeng's words were like clearing the clouds and revealing the sun, making Fa Ming's heart light up. He said to Fu Tianpeng with joy on his face: "Young Master Fu is really smart. He guessed what I was thinking right away. But I can't figure it out. Although Kongjing is not outstanding in martial arts, he has practiced Qinggong for many years. How can he?" There was so much rainwater stored in the soles of the shoes. And he was ahead of me."
After hearing what Fa Ming said, Fu Tianpeng analyzed that Kong Jing should have appeared when the rain was not coming or was not urgent. His shoe marks were so clear that he had been outside for a long time. Thinking of this, Fu Tianpeng asked Faming if he had ever sent a mission to Kongjing? Faming told Fu Tianpeng that apart from instructing Kongjing to deliver medicine on time, he had not arranged anything else.
Faming's explanation made Fu Tianpeng feel that there was something wrong with the monk Kongjing. He told Faming that if Kongjing went to the Wushen Room to collect monk socks, it meant that he must have been to the forest, which also proved that Kongjing had gone out without telling Faming. Fu Tianpeng told Faming his thoughts. After Faming returned, he told the monk on duty that if Kongjing came to collect the monk's socks, he must agree to his request and reply to him about the matter.
What happened was exactly as Fu Tianpeng expected. After pretending to commit the crime, his monk socks were covered with mud. Leaving this evidence behind will inevitably arouse others' suspicion. Therefore, after he carefully disposed of the previous monk's socks, before dawn the next day, he went to the Wushi Room to pick up the new monk's socks.
In order not to alarm others, the monk on duty gave Kong Jing a new set of monk socks according to Fa Ming's prior instructions. Then, while Kongjing was leaving, he reported the situation to Faming. Fa Ming took the time to quietly come to Fu Tianpeng's bedroom and asked him what he should do next.
In order to achieve the purpose of catching turtles in the urn, Fu Tianpeng asked Master Faming to summon all the disciples to practice outside the Damo Hall on the pretext of testing the martial arts of the monks in the He Temple. In this way, Jie Kongjing was surrounded by Shaolin disciples Lin. Even if he had wings, he was determined not to escape from the Shaolin Temple. As long as we catch him, the enemy who came to spy, it will be easy to find out the mastermind behind the scenes. Fu Tianpeng and the Shaolin monks set up pocket formations, waiting for the enemy to fall into the trap.
