"The physical strength has increased to forty-two, the strength has increased to forty-five, the internal strength has reached fifty, and even the bones have been raised a little higher, closer to the limit. This growth process will continue, of course, as time passes. The slower the progress, the difficulty will continue to increase with every numerical increase in the later period. Just like improving the academic score from 30 to 50, the difficulty is not high, but from 50 to 90, it is very difficult. Ninety to one hundred points, if you are not gifted, sometimes it depends on luck." Cao Zhe summarized the gains of breaking through the Great Zhou Queen, and then nodded with satisfaction and stood up.
"The donor seems to be in a good mood. Is there any happy event?" a passing Shaolin monk asked kindly.
At this time, these Shaolin monks seemed to have reached a consensus and chose to use the term "donor" to call Cao Zhe. It seemed that they were out of touch, but in fact they were showing respect and intending to protect Cao Zhe in the future.
Even if they taught Cao Zhe a large number of Shaolin secrets, they may not have the intention of leaving behind the fire.
Among these monks, some are veterans. Of course, they know very well that shelling the mountain and destroying the temple is only the first step. The subsequent roundup of Shaolin monks, and even the catastrophe of the entire martial arts forest, is the main topic.
"It's nothing, I just worked hard for a while and then I broke through the Great Zhoutian." Cao Zhe said with a calm expression.
"Ah...!" The great monk's expression was dull, then he lowered his head and chanted "Amitabha".
Although he shouldn't, he just became angry.
Da Zhou Tian cannot break through if he wants to... At least for most people, this is true.
There are many martial arts practitioners who have practiced hard for a lifetime and have more than a dozen internal strength, but they are still unable to perfectly coordinate the breath in their bodies and complete the intersection of the Little Zhoutian and the Great Zhoutian, and they are always limited to the second rate.
These monks, big and small, present can be regarded as a relatively elite group in Shaolin Temple.
Even so, there are only one or two among them who have truly transcended the Great Zhoutian level, and Jue Yuan cannot be included among them.
Next, Cao Zhe and this group of Shaolin monks stayed in this cave that was not spacious, but not too small. Collect wild fruits and vegetables.
Of course, Cao Zhe can eat the fat fish in the lake without restraint.
Occasionally, there would be one or two young monks secretly feasting with Cao Zhe.
Even if the great monks 'accidentally' saw it, they would consciously look away and not hold on to it.
In fact, monks who have been monks since childhood have had the experience of hunting wild food secretly when they were young. When they got older, they no longer had such a desire for meat and oil, and because of their profound skills and their concentration, they began to Real and thorough observance of the precepts.
Of course, there are two sides to the matter, and we cannot blindly doubt or defend it.
Some monks have their hair stuck outside, eat a lot of fish and meat, and even marry wives and have children... This is also true. For example, Wu Ming... He is so skilled, so he is definitely not a good person.
But there are also a considerable number of monks who truly abide by the precepts and have true cultivation and virtue. There is no need to abandon this big pot of porridge just because of some rat shit.
Within ten days, Cao Zhe not only drained these monks mentally, but also hollowed them out physically.
Every day, he randomly selects a few lucky monks to spar with him, and then brutally destroys their enthusiasm for practicing martial arts.
Most monks whose minds are not strong enough and whose beliefs are not pure enough ask the Buddha every night... is this fair?
Then the next day, the brothers started quarreling over the spot to compete with Cao Zhe.
After all, they fought against Cao Zhe once. Although their self-confidence was severely hit, the rapid growth and rapid improvement of their skills that they had not seen for a long time also made them feel intoxicated.
Because of this process, it made these ten days less difficult.
"Gone! Gone!"
"all gone!"
"I watched from a distance. The last batch of artillery pieces had been transported away, leaving only some ordinary soldiers guarding the passes at the foot of the mountain." The monk Wumie who was in charge of exploring outside said excitedly.
Then he hurriedly asked: "Can we leave here?"
The old monks looked at each other, and one of them said: "Leave in three days!"
"By the way...how is it in the temple?" the old monk asked again.
The monk responsible for the investigation said with a depressed expression: "Everything was destroyed. The hidden ancient Buddhist scriptures, martial arts secrets, and hidden gold... were all taken away."
All the monks, big and small, sighed.
This is something that should have been thought of long ago.
Since the upper echelons of the temple have their own problems, how can these 'treasures' hidden for recovery not to be dug out?
The group of people struggled for three more days before finally sneaking out of the cave.
After following a hidden path and leaving Shaoshi Mountain, Cao Zhe and Jue Yuan said goodbye to the monks.
Although Jue Yuan possesses strong internal strength, he is not a martial artist and does not like fighting.
After this, he will find a small temple in the mountains and continue to practice Zen and enlightenment. At the same time, he will rely on his memory to write down all the unique and ancient books in the Shaolin Sutra Pavilion.
If Shaolin reopens in the future, you can go find him and retrieve the classics.
As for Cao Zhe, of course he will start his long-awaited career in the arena, fight in the world, and become famous all over the world.
The Shaolin monks must try their best to communicate with some local powerful people and wealthy people who have many contacts with the Shaolin Temple. Through these relationships, they can find out the situation clearly, and then summon a large number of martial arts people who have old connections with Shaolin to discuss an explanation and find a solution. justice.
The actions of these Shaolin monks are not to say that they are like a mantis trying to act as a chariot, but at least they are irrational.
However, this is also their choice. If they can't stop it, they can only bless it.
"Okay! Let's say goodbye here!"
"Jun Bao...! Take good care of your master, and... if Shaolin ever recovers, you are welcome to return to Shaolin." Master Tianzhu said to Cao Zhe and Jue Yuan, clasping their hands.
Cao Zhe and Jue Yuan both returned the gift at the same time.
Jue Yuan said: "Masters, please take care of yourself. The Buddha is in your heart, not in the temple. There is a Buddha in your heart. Where can you not meditate and realize the Tao?"
Master Tianzhu heard this and said: "Although Buddhism has no boundaries, Buddhist principles have a context. The ancestors have left a shadow, and future generations should also protect their roots. Bodhi is everywhere, and there is only one who protects the Buddha's enlightenment!"
"I still think we can start a Cuju team. Believe me, it will work!" Cao Zhe interjected.
The bald heads ignored him. This was not the first time Cao Zhe had said this. Some people originally asked why, but now they just ignored it.
Another few words of gossip, Master Jue Yuan is dedicated to pure cultivation, and a group of Shaolin monks are determined to rebuild Shaolin. There is nothing to say. The banquet in the world is over, and it is time to part ways.
Cao Zhe clasped his fists: "Masters, see you later!"
"See you later!"
The monks said.
Then, the originally neat team was divided into two groups.
Together with Jue Yuan, Cao Zhe first carefully traveled hundreds of miles around Shaolin, and then found a small temple that was not involved in martial arts and was just a Buddhist temple for Jue Yuan to stay.
Jue Yuan was well versed in Buddhism and practiced Buddhism profoundly. He had a pleasant conversation with the abbot of the small temple. The abbot of the small temple even paid homage to Jue Yuan as a disciple and insisted on becoming his disciple.
Jue Yuan just settled down in this small temple. He was used to living in seclusion, so if nothing unexpected happened, he would not suffer any trouble.
And Cao Zhe said goodbye to Master Jue Yuan and went to explore the world alone.
When I arrived in a larger town, I rented a newspaper from the newspaper station and found out that Shaolin was labeled as a place to harbor evil and evil by the imperial court.
Hiding women, abducting children, breaking the rules of eating meat and marrying wives, seizing land, refusing to pay taxes, harboring felons... and even changing his appearance, pretending to be a bandit, and robbing and stealing, all fell on Shaolin.
Some of these culpabilities are certainly true.
However, some of them were forced slanders, half-truths and half-falsehoods... but because of controlling public opinion, the people's hatred of Shaolin was greatly increased, and the imperial court's destruction of Shaolin became a just act to wipe out the den of thieves.
Not only was Shaolin disseminated in a negative light, but the "escape" Shaolin remnants among them were also painted with portraits and hung on separate large pages in newspapers, with varying amounts of rewards marked according to their strength and status.
Jue Yuan was not included in the reward... probably because when Jue Yuan took action, the only people who saw him take action were the group of monks who stayed to help Cao Zhe.
But Cao Zhe is on the reward list, and the price is not low.
(Thanks to Long Haomiao for one hundred points, Dong Yutai for one hundred points, Zhuo Sheng for five hundred points, Slaughter Xuan Shen for one hundred points, Ye Meng Weng for two hundred points, Book Friend 20190727134956569 for one hundred points, Dawei A reward of 100 points from Tianlong! Thank you everyone!)
