Chapter 72 Many friends, few enemies
Qu Yang asked this question because he already believed it in his heart, but he still couldn't believe Zen Master Ding's compassion.
Monk Bujie and Yi Guang clasped their hands together with admiration on their faces. Monk Bujie even snorted coldly and said, "Senior Brother Dingding enlightened you, an old devil, but you still can't wake up?"
Qu Yang frowned when he heard this, but continued to stare at Zheng Gui.
"As Mr. Qu said, there is no benefit to a poor monk stepping into the world of right and wrong. On the contrary, it will damage the reputation of Hengshan Sect for hundreds of years. However, we practitioners should not only know whether it is good or not, but also remember whether it should be done...
You ask, why did the Buddha cut meat to feed the eagles, and what are the benefits?"
Zheng Gui looked compassionate and said with a smile: "Mr. Qu, do you still have doubts?"
Qu Yang took a step back, circled around Zheng Gui twice with his eyes wide open, and suddenly laughed and said: "People often say that the holy monk Fang Zheng of Shaolin Temple is compassionate. I never believe it. Today I saw the great benevolence and bravery of Zen Master Ding.
I have seen it."
After saying this, Qu Yang knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "Disciple Qu Yang, pay your respects to the teacher."
Zheng Gui looked calm and said slowly: "Although we are masters and disciples, we will not teach anything except Buddhist practice in the future. You are a pair of masters and disciples in Buddhism. From now on, you must cut off your past deeds and wholeheartedly do good.
Can you persist in not doing evil?"
Qu Yang looked calm as he leaned over and said, "Disciple, please follow Master's teachings."
Zheng Gui immediately ordered Yiguang to fetch the razor he was carrying and shaved Qu Yang himself. After a while, a mountain of hair piled up in front of the two of them, and Qu Yang's head became smooth.
Yiguang took another monk's robe and said, "Junior brother, you and I are about the same height, so you can wear my old monk's robe first."
Qu Yang bowed and said, "Thank you, senior brother."
Zheng Gui smiled and said: "Since you have entered our Hengshan Baozhu Temple today, all your past has been cut off, and your lay name can no longer be used. I give you a dharma name, a good deed, and be kind to others."
Yishan bowed and said, "Disciple, please remember the teachings."
After getting up, Yishan stopped talking. Seeing this, Zheng Gui asked, "Are you worried about your granddaughter?"
"Nothing can be hidden from the wise eyes of my mentor."
Yi Shan frowned and said: "Both my sons and daughters-in-law are short-lived, but how many people in our demon sect can live to the end of their lives? They left Feiyan, a little girl, who has been me for many years."
I took care of it all by myself. Now that I am under the guidance of my mentor, I have corrected my evil ways and can be friends with brother Liu Xian openly in the future. However, there is no one to take care of my grandson. The disciple is really worried..."
Zheng Gui smiled and said: "That's okay, just bring her here. In a few days, your senior uncle Dingyi will come with his female disciples. At that time, I will lead Feiyan to worship under one of your senior sisters."
Just be a lay disciple."
When Yi Shan heard this, he was filled with joy. He even had nothing in himself that could be used by the Hengshan Sect, so he increasingly believed that his teacher, Zen Master Ding Ding, was a master of Buddhism and had truly saved him through enlightenment.
Thinking that his grandson was still waiting for him, Yishan said goodbye to his mentor and uncle Bujie. Senior Brother Yiguang then brought Qu Feiyan back and paid homage to his master, his uncle, his uncle, and others.
Zheng Guijian saw that although Qu Feiyan was only thirteen or fourteen years old, she was also pretty and cute, showing off the splendor of the country's future beauty. What's more, her skin was like snow. In the Hengshan School, in terms of appearance, temperament and skin color, only Yi
Lin may be slightly better than Qu Feiyan.
Qu Feiyan was not just good-looking, her aptitude and understanding were also extraordinary. Zheng Gui knew at the first sight that if the three senior sisters Dingxian, Dingjing, and Dingyi passed down the mantle of Liang'an to Yilin,
Among the lay disciples, Qu Feiyan already stands out.
After settling his granddaughter, Yishan followed Zheng Gui and prepared to learn some Buddhism. Zheng Gui was not in a hurry to teach him. He just whispered to Yishan and Yiguang to go to Liu Zhengfeng and explain the situation in detail.
At the basin-washing ceremony, they should act together to put on a good show.
Yi Guang and Yi Shan left after agreeing, and they stayed there for four or five hours.
It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that Yi Guang and Yi Shan arrived outside Zheng Guimen again.
Zheng Gui's internal strength has now reached the highest level among the best in the world. He is not far behind Master Dingxian, so he immediately noticed the breathing and footsteps of the two.
Swinging his sleeves to open the door, Zheng Gui whispered: "Come in and talk."
After Yi Shan walked in, they had a secret chat with Zheng Gui for a long time, and then everyone in Baozhu Temple lived in the inn with peace of mind, until more than ten days later, when the Golden Basin Washing Ceremony was approaching on July 15th, Master Dingyi took his daughter
The disciples entered Hengshan City. After Zheng Gui learned about it, he personally led the disciples out of the inn to greet them.
At this time, Hengshan Street was much livelier than last month. Many martial arts people armed with swords were walking in twos and threes through the streets and alleys, going in and out of inns and restaurants.
With only a glance, Yi Guang and Yi Shan recognized many figures from the sect. They knew that these people were giving face to Liu Zhengfeng and the Wuyue Sword Sect. The more they did this, the more Zuo Lengchan of the Songshan Sect was exposed.
of prestige.
Thinking of Zuo Lengchan's prestige, Yi Shan couldn't help but look at the figure of his mentor in front of him, and praised in his heart: Master, he has such great compassion to save Brother Liu Xian and me, and he is not afraid to confront Zuo Lengchan and others.
He is truly a rare person in the world. I think there is no other master in the world who can compare with his heroic spirit except the Eastern Cult Master...
Not long after Zheng Gui and his party walked down the street, they saw the sky change and it began to rain lightly. After walking half a street in the rain, they saw a teahouse bustling with people. Dozens of people from all walks of life could be seen vaguely.
As they spoke, Master Dingyi and other female disciples were among them.
Zheng Gui walked over quickly and said loudly: "Sister Dingyi, how long have you been here?"
Ding Yi was talking to the disciples of Huashan. When he heard the words, he turned around and came out. The seniors and juniors said a few words. Zheng Gui introduced his uncle Yi Shan to pay his respects, and then looked at the old man who was cooking wontons under the eaves and looked at him with a smile.
"Donor He has also arrived."
He Sanqi chuckled, knocked the bamboo slices, and said, "If you call me the donor again, I, Mr. He, will not prepare plain wontons today."
Just as Zheng Gui was about to speak again, he saw several people walking quickly with oil umbrellas and lanterns in the rain curtain. Looking at the figures, he knew that he had good Qinggong skills.
Several people walked to the door of the teahouse and asked, "Are they the holy monks and nuns from Mount Hengshan?"
Master Dingyi said loudly: "I don't dare, I am Hengshan Dingyi, and this is my junior brother Dingyi."
Several people walked in and bowed and saluted, saying: "As ordered by my master, I invite Master Dingyi, Master Dingding and all the senior sisters and brothers to come to my place to worship. I have not invited everyone to come."
I didn’t go out of the city to receive the message from Hengshan. I apologize for my sin.”
Dingyi and Zheng Gui recognized the disciples as disciples of Liu Zhengfeng just by looking at their clothes and the characters "Liu" on the lanterns. After asking a few questions, Dingyi introduced He Sanqi and several people in the teahouse to the disciples of the Hengshan Sect.
Disciple of Huashan.
In the crowd, Zheng Gui narrowed his eyes and looked at the more than ten disciples of the Huashan sect. The leader was an old man in his sixties, and next to him was an ugly girl. Zheng Gui knew with a thought that these two people were
Lauderno and Yue Lingshan in disguise.
Looking around the crowd and seeing no familiar faces, Zheng Gui asked: "Lingshan, why are you dressed like this? Where is your senior brother?"
Although Yue Lingshan was young, she had met Zheng Gui and Dingyi when she was a child, and she and Lao Denuo came forward to salute them.
"My senior brother has not come with us, I'm afraid it's time to arrive."
Zheng Gui continued to ask: "Where are your father and your mother?"
"Perhaps we have arrived at Hengshan."
Zheng Gui was about to ask again when he suddenly heard a clear laughter from outside: "Zen Master Dingding, I haven't seen you for more than ten years. Yue misses you very much."
A delighted smile appeared on Yue Lingshan's ugly face: "Daddy." She said and ran out.
Lauderno and other disciples also quickly went out to meet their master and his wife.
After a while, Yue Buqun and Ning Zhong led their disciples into the teahouse through the rain curtain. Next to them was a tall, handsome young man who looked to be about twenty-four or five years old, with a
The wine is gone, the clothes are baggy, and the look on the face is even more frivolous and casual.
Zheng Gui laughed and said, "We haven't seen each other for many years, and time seems to have stopped with Senior Brother Yue and Senior Sister Ning."
Yue Buqun smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "I have long heard that Zen Master Ding Ding opened a branch of the Hengshan sect at Baozhu Temple in Tongyuan Valley. Yue has always been interested in going to visit him, but it is a pity that there are too many secular affairs. Don't blame Zen Master."
Zheng Gui waved his hand gently, and Linghu Chong bowed and saluted: "Junior Linghu Chong, I would like to pay my respects to Master Ding and Master Dingyi."
After a while of greetings, everyone left the teahouse and went to the Liu Mansion at the invitation of Liu Zhengfeng's disciples Xiang Danian, Mi Weiyi and others.
Before going out, Zheng Gui inadvertently looked at an extremely inconspicuous little hunchback in the crowd, and his mind moved: This young man disguised as a hunchback must be Lin Pingzhi. At present, it seems that except for Tian Boguang, Yilin, and Linghu Chong's interlude
, the basic direction of things is still almost the same as in the original work.
After everyone entered the Liu Mansion, they were led into a hall. At this time, nearly two hundred heroes were sitting in the hall. Mi Weiyi and others arranged for the disciples of the Huashan Sect and the Hengshan Sect to sit down for dinner. Xiang Danian led the
Zheng Gui and other senior experts walked through the corridor to a flower hall in the backyard.
The first five Taishi chairs in the flower hall are arranged side by side. Only the chair to the east sits on a red-faced Taoist priest, who is Taoist Master Tianmen, the head of the Taishan Sect.
A middle-aged man in a purple robe stood up from the bottom and stepped forward, saying: "Senior Brother Yue, Senior Sister Ning, Senior Senior Dingyi, Senior Brother Ding...
I’m really sorry that I bothered you all to come here regarding Liu’s matter, so please sit down and talk.”
Everyone took their seats after being politely pushed. Yue Buqun was the head of Huashan, so he naturally took the fourth chair.
Dingyi, Zheng Gui, He Sanqi, Monk Bujie and others sat in the lower seat. At this time, there were many well-known senior figures in the world, and everyone exchanged pleasantries when they met.
When inviting everyone to take their seats, Liu Zhengfeng smiled knowingly when he saw Yishan, who had dressed up as a monk, and even walked and behaved much more relaxedly.
Because Zheng Gui planned it in advance, there were no interruptions.
While everyone was having tea and talking, many famous figures from the world came one after another.
Occasionally, I recognized Zheng Gui, but most of them were people I had only heard of by name.
As it got dark, a short old Taoist walked in. Liu Zhengfeng hurriedly greeted him, and Zheng Gui found out that it was Yu Canghai, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect.
After Yu Canghai greeted Liu Zhengfeng for a few words, he glanced at Linghu Chong, glanced at Yue Buqun angrily, and coldly snorted: "This is the venue of your Five Mountains Sword Sect. I won't say anything, but the Feng Shui Master
There are rotations, and we have plenty of opportunities..."
Yue Buqun's eyebrows moved, but Ning Zhongze glanced at Linghu Chong.
Zheng Gui looked at Yiguang and Yishan, and Yishan whispered: "Yesterday, Linghu Chong met the most famous Qingcheng Sixiu among the second generation disciples of the Qingcheng Sect outside Hengshan City. He severely humiliated that person with one against four.
Four of them, Taoist Yu must be jealous of Linghu Chong and the Huashan Sect."
Zheng Gui knew that the lost swordsmanship of the Huashan School and the lost swordsmanship of the other three schools had perfected the Huashan School's martial arts. Yue Buqun and his wife's martial arts must have improved by leaps and bounds in the past ten years. As the head disciple, Linghu Chong's swordsmanship was also better than in the original work.
Many, then the top four talents from Qingcheng will naturally not be their opponents.
After a long meal, everyone dispersed when they saw that it was getting dark.
The fellow disciples of the Wuyue Sword Sect naturally lived in the Liu Mansion, while the rest of the fellow disciples were led by Liu Zhengfeng's disciples to the inn to rest.
Walking out of the courtyard, Zheng Gui looked at Yue Buqun thoughtfully. Yue Buqun immediately smiled and said: "We have not seen each other for many years. Yue recently had a lot of confusion when he was studying the Lotus Sutra carefully. Could you ask Zen Master Ding to explain it?
Can you help Yue solve his doubts?"
Zheng Gui laughed and said, "Don't worry about solving the doubts. Let's just learn together."
The two looked at each other, smiled, and entered Yue Buqun's bedroom hand in hand.
Ning Zhong knew that the two of them had to discuss important matters, so he didn't follow her and took his daughter's hand and went to another room.
Although Zheng Gui and Yue Buqun have not seen each other for more than ten years, after all, the two sects have the deepest cooperation and share the biggest secrets within the Wuyue Sword Sect, so they can be regarded as the most trustworthy relationship between them.
Before finishing a cup of tea, Zheng Gui told Yue Buqun the plans of the Songshan Sect and his own arrangements, with the purpose of drawing Yue Buqun to join him in dealing with the Songshan Sect.
Yue Buqun thought for a long time and said: "Zen Master Dingding, are you going to break up with the Songshan Sect and openly confront him?"
Zheng Gui chuckled and said: "Why, the famous gentleman Senior Brother Jian Yue is afraid of the Zuo Alliance Leader. What kind of person the Zuo Alliance Leader is, I think you know better than anyone else, Senior Brother Yue. We can't wait for him to make moves step by step. We want to
To preserve the inheritance of our ancestors, we can only strike preemptively!"
Yue Buqun remained silent, and the room was silent for a long time, but Zheng Gui was not anxious at all.
As the candle flame kept shaking because the wick was too long, the pulling light and shadow showed that Yue Buqun's face was also uncertain. Zheng Gui whispered: "Brother Yue, don't worry, as long as you stand with me, Liu Zhengfeng will also
If you take refuge here, you will naturally be able to drag Mo Daye into trouble. When the time comes, the Taishan sect will definitely be incompatible with each other. The three of us will fight against the Songshan sect, and I will have the advantage!"
Yue Buqun tapped his fingers lightly on the table, which disturbed his thoughts. He said slowly: "But the left alliance leader's martial arts is so high that none of us may be an opponent. Our Huashan sect has not recovered its strength, and we are facing internal and external troubles.
Young Master, how can I risk all my wealth just for you, the Hengshan Sect?"
Zheng Gui chuckled and said: "Senior Brother Yue, don't worry. Let's work together to remove the Songshan Sect from the position of leader of the Five Sacred Mountains. The crisis of Zuo Lengchan annexing our four sects will be gone. By then, I, the Hengshan Sect, will become the leader of the alliance. You
Senior Brother Yue is the deputy leader."
Yue Buqun remained silent, obviously not believing what Zheng Gui said, or perhaps thinking that Zheng Gui was not the head of Hengshan and what he said did not count.
Zheng Gui paused and continued to persuade: "We in the Hengshan sect have never sought fame, wealth and power for hundreds of years, and my senior sister, the head of the school, is a person who is calm and relaxed, like a wild crane.
The Hengshan Sect really became the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance just to avoid being annexed by the Songshan Sect. It was not because of any ambition. Our generation is getting older, and that may be the case in ten or twenty years.
But power will always be handed over to the next generation...
Among the second generation disciples among the five sects, I think Linghu Chong is the best choice for your qualifications, understanding and martial arts. After ten or twenty years, who will be the new leader of the Five Mountains Alliance from Shehua Mountain?"
Yue Buqun asked: "Does Master Dingxian mean this too?"
Zheng Gui smiled and said: "That's natural. Didn't you see that Senior Sister Dingyi is also following my lead? It was the young monk who made this happen. Senior Brother Yue, don't worry. When the Hengshan Sect becomes the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, you, the leader of Huashan Mountain, will definitely
As the deputy leader, I, a monk, never tell lies, so you can rest assured."
