Mount Hengshan has stood erect in the land of China for more than thousands of years. This famous mountain and river has been climbed by countless people for thousands of years, and temples and temples have even been built to view it. However, Mount Hengshan is still the same Mount Hengshan.
Five years can turn an infant into a running, jumping, and eloquent child, turn a teenage girl into a mature woman, and turn a man into a mature woman.
From youth to adulthood, the earth can experience the reincarnation of the four seasons five times.
In Zheng Gui's experience, five years passed in a blur.
This day was the beginning of spring, but there was a sudden heavy snowfall in Tongyuan Valley. In an instant, the golden glazed tiles of Baozhu Temple were covered with heavy snow.
At this time, more than five years have passed since Baozhu Temple opened its gates. Zheng Gui has also grown from the teenage novice monk to the abbot of Hengshan Baozhu Temple, which is highly respected and has many disciples even though he is only thirty-two years old.
Qualitative Zen Master.
In the past five years, Zheng Gui rarely left the temple, and he never went down the mountain. In addition to studying martial arts and Buddhism, he also taught his disciples. Occasionally, he went out to Wuse'an or Baiyun at the invitation of Master Dingxian.
Discussion in the nunnery.
Since Zheng Gui moved from Jianxing Peak to Guolao Cave, Wuse'an and Baiyun'an have also been adding more disciples. This has caused Baiyun'an to continue to expand in recent years, and Wuse'an to expand again and again. This
As a result, the size of the two nunneries is no less than that of an ordinary temple, and there are more and more side halls and wing rooms.
Although Zheng Gui has rarely appeared in recent years, he has often made suggestions for the development of the Hengshan Sect. He is also well aware of his disciples and the strength of the Hengshan Sect after its expansion. Thinking that in the future, Zuo Lengchan's men will embrace the Hengshan Sect and even
I am becoming more and more confident in turning defeat into victory.
At this time, the apparent strength of the Hengshan Sect was still two nunneries and one temple, namely Wuse'an, Baiyun'an, and Baozhu Temple, with a total of less than 400 disciples. Among them, the masters who were firmly at the top level in the world were Dingxian, Dingjing, and Dingyi.
Of the three, Zheng Gui and Yi Guang should have been at the bottom of the list in the past two years.
The lower courtyards and Tongxiu monasteries in various places are considered peripheral forces, with two to three hundred people, but most of the disciples are not strong individually. Fortunately, the Hengshan sect has a "seven-man sword formation" that is a great weapon for group battles.
Therefore, if you really gather all the disciples together, you can get more than 500 people. If you form a large formation, you can explode the strength of 60 or 70 first-class masters. Compared with Shaolin, it may be quite inferior, but compared with Wudang, the Beggar Clan and the
The strength of the Songshan and Hengshan sects are no longer much different.
Because both Master Dingxian and Zheng Gui were worried that the development of the Hengshan Sect was too fast and would easily attract the attention of the Songshan Sect, so in addition to recruiting disciples, the subordinate secular businesses of the Hengshan Sect have not made progress in the past five years, except for the tea and salt business.
The business of drug stores, many warehouses, and banks has stopped.
Although the filial piety of the peripheral secular forces is 30 to 40% less than in previous years, relying on the offerings and incense money from pilgrims and devotees, the centuries-old bhikkhunis and monks of the Hengshan sect with two nunneries and one temple can live a stable life.
In the past five years, the things that worried the orthodox sects and Master Dingxian the most did not happen.
Dongfang Bubai behaved quite calmly after becoming the leader. In addition to excluding dissidents, he constantly dismissed and promoted the elders of the church and the banner leaders and altar leaders in various places. He did not take any action related to the orthodox religion.
Although the Demonic Sect has not provoked the Orthodox Church in recent years, there are rumors that Dongfang Bubai often retreats in seclusion to practice a demonic skill that will shock the world. As long as he succeeds in his magical skill, there will be a battle between the good and the evil factions.
In order to make achievements and win the favor of Dongfang Bubai, the altar leaders and banner leaders in various provinces of the Demon Cult are rapidly expanding, recruiting many second- and third-rate gangs and sects, and collecting a large number of rare treasures.
The Orthodox sects soon became aware of the Demonic Cult's actions in various provinces. Naturally, they did not want the Demonic Cult to become stronger. However, as Orthodox sects, they could not bully and destroy other gangs and sects, so they overtly and covertly carried out actions in their respective territories.
Suppress second- and third-rate gangs, encourage them, and monitor them.
It can be said that in the past five years, everything seems to be calm in the world, but many second- and third-rate forces in the world have fallen victim to the struggle between the demonic sect and the orthodox sects.
In the past five years, Yiguang has perfected the Hengshan School's internal martial arts and swordsmanship. The two brothers Ning Zhengduan and Ning Zhengli have also become successful in martial arts and have become strong young heroes. In the year before last, they led more than ten junior disciples.
Depart the army and go down the mountain.
Last year, he went to Tongguan to open a mighty escort agency, and became the first lay disciples of the Baozhu Temple of the Hengshan Sect to start the apprenticeship and create the industry of the apprenticeship.
Zheng Gui saw that many lay disciples were becoming more and more solid in martial arts, and their bodies were getting stronger and taller. He was always happy in his heart. He estimated that after another three years, most of the lay disciples would be able to leave and come down the mountain.
When the time comes, they will either open an escort agency to do business, or join the medicine shops, tea shops, salt merchants, etc. affiliated to the Hengshan Sect as shopkeepers and leaders. The external forces of the Hengshan Sect will become the climate within a few years, and the profits from various businesses will
It can be doubled several times.
The power of the Hengshan Sect will gradually take shape. When combined, the Hengshan Sect will surely make Zuo Lengchan afraid to take action easily.
…
In the past five years, Baozhu Temple has successively admitted more than ten young monks, and more than ten lay disciples have also been added. Although a group of disciples have come down the mountain, the number of people in the temple has not decreased, but most of the monks and disciples are teenagers.
and youth.
Zheng Gui was sitting in front of the abbot's room, watching Yi Guang instructing the martial arts and swordsmanship of Yi generation disciples, and calculating the current strength of the Hengshan sect, when he suddenly saw an eleven or twelve-year-old nun holding a messy-coated nun in his hand.
The squirrel jumped from the front hall and couldn't help but smile, saying: "Yilin, are you here?"
This little nun's big eyes are black and white, sparkling like gems. The wide monk's robe covers her thin figure, and the exposed little hands and face are white and smooth. Although Yilin is still young at this time, she is already very mature.
She is beautiful, and it can be seen that when she grows up, she will be a great beauty who will bring disaster to the country and the people.
Yilin is the disciple that Master Dingyi regards as her own. Because she is good-looking, well-behaved and sensible, and what is even more rare is that she has extraordinary aptitude and understanding. Over the years, she has been deeply loved by Master Dingxian and Master Dingjing, even though
Zheng Gui rarely went out, but every time he went to Baiyun Temple, he would always bring some fruits and candy to little Yilin, so Yilin was very close to Zheng Gui.
By the time Yi Lin mentioned dozens of names in succession, her little face had turned red from suppressing her emotions. Zheng Gui, Yi Guang and other monks couldn't help but smile when they saw it. Yi Guang even smiled and said: "Junior sister is always so polite, you are the one
If you don't say hello to me, which one of us would dare to be angry with you?"
Yilin had been to Baozhu Temple several times, and Yiguang and others had met many times in the two nunneries on weekdays. She had already become familiar with Yiguang and others. She laughed when she heard this and said: "My master said, if you don't follow the rules,
If you want to get slapped, you are senior brothers and I don’t dare to be rude."
The monks burst into laughter, as if even the ice and snow were no longer cold.
