Chapter 230 How can this door be closed? How can this mountain be closed?
This day is the Laba Festival, the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Shaolin Temple is the leader in martial arts. Although the replacement of the head is a major event, it is nothing comparable to dealing with the previous abbot.
Martial arts figures all like to be active rather than quiet. Who wouldn't want to witness it in person and bow to its glory? Therefore, people from all walks of life in the martial arts gathered in Shaoshi Mountain. There were thousands of people, which was very lively.
There is a large square outside the gate of Shaolin Mountain, with a high platform erected in the middle. This platform is two feet above the ground and has a radius of more than ten feet. There are many small benches and bluestones placed under the platform for everyone to sit on.
With just this one move, it can be seen that Shaolin Temple has indeed made sufficient preparations for today.
However, some rough-tongued people did not see Xuanci Xuanji and other rightful masters come out, so they immediately shouted: "Shaolin Temple is so big."
"Yeah, how long will this take?"
The heroes started making noises one after another, and some even shouted loudly, fearing that the Shaolin monks would not hear.
Suddenly, more than ten giant bells in the Shaolin Temple rang together, and the sound of "dang-dang" shook the entire mountain.
Suddenly, the temple door was wide open, and two rows of red-clothed monks, each armed with a sword, lined up on the left and right to leave the temple. There were five hundred people in total. They were the monks of the empty generation and the empty generation of Luohan Hall, totaling five hundred Arhats.
As he was in trouble, Wang Yuyan said loudly: "Master Xuanji didn't take advantage of the danger that day with Masters Xuandu, Xuan, and Xuanyin. This kind of eminent monk's demeanor made the little girl admire him. But if it was a life and death fight that day,
Even if the little girl is defeated, she may not be able to support others.
Gu Chaoci cupped his hands and said: "We are happy together. Master is a monk. I was able to marry my wife. Thanks to what you did that day, I never forgot.
He has a good understanding of world affairs, and he knows that Wang Yuyan is married as soon as he sees her womanly bun.
When the heroes first heard that the abbot Xuanci of the Shaolin Temple did not abide by the rules, they were full of contempt. When they saw that he was being tortured calmly in public in order to maintain the reputation of the Shaolin Temple, this kind of bravery was beyond the capabilities of any human being. They all wanted him to receive such a heavy punishment as compensation.
I lost my footing for a moment.
Gu Chaoci waved his hand and said: "The national affairs are important, let's not mention them, but Ye Erniang is known to do all kinds of evil, and has done many evil things in the world for many years. As the abbot of Shaolin, you have hands and eyes that are all over the sky, do you really know nothing about it?"
Then it is self-evident what size the Lingjiu Palace is that can hold these people hostage.
Precisely because most of their relatives and elders died tragically at the hands of foreigners, even though Qiao Feng was a hero and had unparalleled prestige in the Beggar Clan, as soon as his identity as a Khitan was revealed, they immediately refused to recognize this leader.
Xuan Tong said with tears in his eyes: "Senior brother, it's easy for you to go."
After finally finishing the 200 blows with the staff, Xuanci's blood flowed all over the floor. He barely managed to take a breath of Qi to protect his heart so as not to faint from the pain.
Xuan Ji slowly walked to the front of the high platform, with a sad expression in the sunshine, and said: "Xuan Ci committed a sexual misconduct, and Xuan Tong, the head of the Discipline Academy of Shaolin Temple, will be punished according to the law without any leniency."
Xuanji's words were like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves. Shaolin Temple closed its doors and closed the mountains. The world's number one martial arts master, didn't this mean he was withdrawing from the world? Everyone was in an uproar.
"What if he dies?" Xuanji asked again.
Xuan Tong, Xuan Nan, Xuansheng, Xuandu, Xuanyin, Xuan, Xuan Yan, Xuan Huai and other monks all sighed secretly. Although they wanted to protect Xuan Ci, they all understood it very well, not to mention Shaolin Qing.
Reputation is above all else, and Gu Chaoci also arrived in an instant. It couldn't be said that it was a big battle.
At this time, the former Shaolin Discipline Hall, the current Shaolin Abbot Master Xuanji, the Dharma Hall, the Discipline Hall, the Luohan Hall, the Bodhi Hall, etc. slowly walked out. The former Shaolin Abbot Xuanci followed behind a few people.
Xuan Ji hasn't spoken yet, Xuanci intercept: "Gu Jun, Qiao Feng is dead, Xiao Yuanshan once had great achievements in the Great Song military and civilians, can you not let him be a lost child?"
Everyone saw these old monks white eyebrows and whiskers, but their waistboards were straight and spiritual.
Xuan Jihong took a gift, Qi Nian Dantian, Lang said: "The temple inherits the heroes of the world in the world.
Please forgive me. "Speaking of another gift.
Seeing that Shaolin had such a battle, Qunhao was not only Xuan, Hui, Vanity, and the four -generation disciples of the empty generations, and even the disciples of the family called back, and they were shocked.
Although Tianshan Tongyu martial arts is high, he never fulfills the middle soil. He only dealt with the foreigners of the border overseas.
The people in the seventy -two islands. They have heard people say that they know that although these people are on the left side of the door, they must not be underestimated.
And when did Shaolin Temple participate in these countries?
At that day, Gu Chao's resignation was shocked by Xuanci and others. How could he give up?
The heroes responded loudly: "Master Xuan Ji took over as the abbot of Shaolin, but it was home."
Xuanci looked serious, her response moved forward, and her hands folded: "Sinseng Xuanci let the heroes laugh."
The two gray clothes law enforcement monks flew on stage.
There are many people who come to the heroes, and the famous Shaolin Temple is famous. Most people are jealous, but when you see Zhu Xuan Yi Bing Gong, you can't help but admire it.
The two law enforcement monks will be vertical and said to Xuan pain: "Report the first seat, Uncle Xuanci is finished."
Gu Chaocheng jumped down immediately and walked towards Gao Tai. Everyone dodge again and again, leaving a passage.
Xuanci slowly said: "Xuanci sin is deep, irreversible, Gan collar punishment."
The Shaolin faction was full of voices on the rivers and lakes, and had a lot of love with many people in the group. Naturally, Gu Chao's resignation and thirty -six holes, 72 islands, and Lingbi Palace went to the meeting.
Then, then
But some people thought that, such a long time, Gu Chao's famous name would definitely be disdainful.
Xuan Pain took the first position of the precepts from Xuan Ji's hands, and it was shortly time. I heard that Xuan Ji said and stayed for a long while.
What do you have to justify sin? "
Otherwise, with his own means, you only need to take a trip to Shaolin Temple in one day to kill three or five monks.
The heroes looked at each other, and the abbot in front of Shaolin Temple was tortured. It was really appalling and violated things.
Without him, because they are too familiar with this sound, it is Gu Chao's resignation. But the meaning contained in this sound is really scary!
You need to know that Gu Chao's resignation is still gone at this moment, so he sent the voice up. This is not embarrassing for him.
As for whether Gu Chao resigned to vote for a mouse and avoid a disaster, you can only do everything and listen to the destiny.
The two monks ran to the high platform several feet, and reported to Xuan Ji and others: "Qi Qi Fang Fang, the Blood Demon has been up the mountain, thirty -six holes, and the people of 72 islands followed closely."
The muscles on Xuanci's face couldn't help but tremble, and he said: "Why do you need to bring up the old things again?"
Xuan Tong nodded, not knowing what to say.
Just when everyone was respectful to Shaolin, suddenly a sneer came over: "Hehehe" came over: "Closing the mountain behind closed doors? The grievances in the world are still lingering. How can we close the door and seal the mountain?"
But those with advanced martial arts knowledge saw Gu Chaoci and Wang Yuyan galloping on horseback, with dust on their bodies not close to them, and the depth and purity of their internal strength could be seen at a glance.
Gu Chaoci said seriously: "Because he and I are enemies rather than friends, how can I not care about his life and whereabouts?"
I am responsible for everything, but for such a big event today, Ye Erniang and your son are not here, which is a fly in the ointment."
Xuanji said again: "The young monk was not abandoned by his brothers and sisters, and was recommended by the public to be the abbot of our temple. Although the young monk has no talent or virtue, he dare not disobey the public sentiment. Today he takes over the family here, and all the heroes in the world are witnesses.
"All the Shaolin heroes saluted Xuanji.
At this moment, two gray-clothed monks came running from the mountain road very quickly. They were monks sent by the Shaolin Temple to watch on the mountainside.
And beside him, Wang Yuyan was also wearing a white horse and white clothes. She was spotless, like smoke and clouds, and her appearance was exquisite. She was said to be the Fairy Lingbo, but she couldn't be said to be the Goddess of Water.
Moreover, Gu Chaoci killed so many people in the two battles at Mantuo Villa and Qingliang Mountain that it was unheard of. There were very few people in every family who were not affected by his evil deeds, so everyone hated him with gnashing of teeth. But then he thought about what he had done in Qingliang Mountain.
All the poisonous weapons used can't help but tremble with fear and remain as silent as cicadas.
When Xuanji and others heard this voice, their faces became more solemn than ever before.
Many people among the heroes also shouted and said: "That's right, that's right, let's also come to ask for mercy."
Gu Chaoci said coldly: "Don't talk about serving the country and the people here. Are there such people in the world today? Who in the vast world is qualified to talk about these four words?
You Shaolin Temple and the Beggar Clan are known as the two pillars of the martial arts world in the Central Plains. However, in order to resist foreign enemies, the Beggar Clan always used their own people to fight against foreign enemies, whether they faced the Liao Kingdom or the Xixia Kingdom. They went on and on, resulting in countless casualties.
But all this is just imagination, and there is no need to say it again. But because of your actions, even though my husband had a grudge with Shaolin, he acted openly and above board and did not do anything despicable.
Gu Chaoci seemed to be moving forward without moving. When he was still more than three feet away from the high platform, he didn't see how he was doing it. He had already stood up and suddenly landed on the platform.
As soon as she arrived, the scenery of Shaoshi Mountain was eclipsed. Except for the wonderful appearance of plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, which attracted some attention. Even beauties like Zhong Ling and A Zi, no one cared to look at it.
Then I want to ask, what beneficial things have you done for the country?
Oh, are you leading the heroes of the Song Dynasty to besiege the Khitan martial arts masters who came to snatch the Shaolin classics?"
Xuanji himself wanted to persuade Gu Chaoci to withdraw based on their friendship that day. Unexpectedly, when Wang Yuyan said these words, cold sweat dripped down her vest like a small river. She could only say to Gu Chaoci slowly: "That's what you said, Madam.
It makes sense. So, Mr. Gu, if you have any regulations, please give me your instructions!"
It was the "Blood Demon Lord" Gu Chaoci and the "Lingbo Fairy" Wang Yuyan who appeared on stage accompanied by Azi and Zhong Ling.
When the group of monks heard the law-enforcement monk calling out the number of sticks, "one-five, ten," they all bowed their heads and lowered their eyebrows, silently reciting the Buddha's name.
In the past, they thought that no matter how powerful Gu Chaoci was, he could not challenge the Shaolin Temple alone, not even Wang Yuyan.
Gu Chaoci's eyes flashed with rays of light and he said with a smile: "A person like him can survive jumping from an abyss. If I hadn't seen him die with my own eyes, do you think I would believe it?"
In the past, you, Xuanci, were instigated by Murong Bo to rob and kill Khitan masters, but you were led by people from other sects. Is there no one in Shaolin Temple anymore?
There are so many eminent monks of the Xuan generation, no matter how immature their martial arts were thirty years ago, they are still better than those like Zhao Qiansun, right?"
Xuanci shook his head and said: "Xuanci violated the precepts for adultery. According to the precepts, he should be beaten with a hundred sticks. But as the abbot at that time, I should have doubled the punishment."
All the heroes also changed their colors in shock. Seeing how tall Wang Yuyan was, she was really stunning and gorgeous. But what he said was too heartbreaking. Everyone knew that Gu Chaoci alone was no match for the Shaolin Temple, but he made sneak attacks every day. Who could this person be?
Can you guard against it?
If this happens, won't they be wiped out slowly?
Unexpectedly, after Xuanci was punished with the stick, Xuanji immediately announced the closure of the mountain. Since the Shaolin Temple had to close the mountain and the temple, Xuanci violated the precept of adultery, so naturally it could be dealt with behind closed doors, and the humiliation of two hundred sticks in front of the public in the hall was also acceptable.
exempt.
But when he was a few miles away, he heard that they were closing the mountains and closing the temples. This was incredible. The Buddhist "Tian Er Tong" was nothing more than that, right?
But they did not hide their mistakes. Xuanci endured the humiliation and took the stick first to maintain the reputation of Shaolin Temple, and then announced the closure of the mountain. Such behavior was worthy of the world's largest martial arts sect, and everyone's hearts aroused respect.
I would like to take the liberty of saying that I have given you one hundred strokes. I will record the remaining number for the time being so that I can give them all together in the future. This does not violate the precepts of your temple."
The two law-enforcement monks had already suspended the torture, but hearing Xuanci's firm words, they had no choice but to continue beating him one, five, and ten times.
All the heroes in the audience stood up and returned the salute, saying: "It's easy to talk, it's easy to talk. Master Xuanji, you don't have to be polite."
Among the heroes, there were some who had good relations with Shaolin. Seeing that Xuanci had no posture to exercise his skills and protect his body, when he hit a hundred sticks, someone suddenly said: "Master Xuanji, your temple has strict disciplines, and so does Abbot Xuanci."
The punishment was admirable. But he was old and unwilling to use his martial arts to protect his body, so he couldn't bear the two hundred sticks.
Abbot Xuanji was also shocked in his heart, but he had a strong determination, put his hands together and said with a calm face: "Everyone is here today. It is a trivial matter for the young monk to succeed the abbot. The most important thing is to deal with Xuanci, a disciple of the Xuan generation of Shaolin Temple."
Everyone knows that the relationship between Gu Chaoci and the Shaolin Temple in Qingliang Mountain is quite big. But no one knows whether he will come or not.
"yes!"
After a while, more than 20 old monks wearing large plaid robes came out. Some had wrinkled faces, and some had white beards. Even the younger ones were in their fifties or sixties and were monks of the Xuan generation.
Either the monk's robes are bulging, or he has a weapon in his hand.
Xuan Tong showed his unbearable expression and said loudly: "Xuan Ci has violated the Buddhist precepts without authorization, and the precepts of sexual intercourse are particularly severe. You will be punished by being beaten with a hundred sticks in public. Xuan Ci, are you convinced?"
Even though everyone already knew which scene the main scene was, after hearing these words, the Shaolin monks and heroes all felt terrified. They all looked at Xuan Ji and listened to his announcement on how to punish Xuan Ci.
Xuan Tong said clearly: "The law enforcement monk, use punishment."
Gu Chaoci looked around: "Where is Xiao Yuanshan?"
When everyone heard this, they also whispered among themselves. Yes, Xuanci took care of everything and his son stopped talking. But where did Ye Erniang go?
Before Xuanci could speak, Xuanji smiled slightly and said, "Congratulations, congratulations. I would like to congratulate Mr. Gu on your marriage to your honorable lady."
Everyone couldn't bear to look at it anymore and admired Xuan Ci for being so good.
Then came out one hundred and eight monks in gray clothes. They were all older than the disciples of Luohan Hall and were disciples of the higher generation Hui generation. They also held weapons and stood on both sides.
Gu Chaoci sneered: "For the country and the people?
Are you saying this to tell me that you have this intention?
I saw Gu Chaoci riding a white horse, dressed in white clothes, with sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a straight nose and thin lips. He wore a white belt around his waist and a white jade pendant on it. He was really pretty and handsome.
Xuanji said: "Senior brother Xuannan, Gu Chaoci seems to be more advanced in martial arts. Please tell me not to make any rash remarks or actions later." He knew that his senior brother had a stubborn temper, and he had many verbal arguments with Gu Chaoci.
I'm afraid that as soon as he arrives, he will take action directly.
Master Xuanji, surrounded by several fellow disciples, jumped up onto the high platform that had been set up.
Xuannan naturally knew what the other party meant, bowed and said: "Yes!"
These warriors are all people with abundant energy. Thousands of people responded like thunder.
Xuanci knelt down on the ground, facing the Buddha statue in the Main Hall of Shaolin Temple from a distance, lifted up his monk's robe, and exposed his back.
The two monks knew that the most uncomfortable thing about Xuanci's torture was being humiliated in public, not just the physical pain. If his mercy was revealed to others and he was criticized, then his humiliation would be meaningless. So he was beaten with a stick.
There was a loud snapping sound as he went down, and in a moment he had Xuanci on his back, with stick marks all over his buttocks and blood splattered on the monk's robe.
Xuanji knew that he was talking about being besieged in Qingliang Mountain, but at that time there were only Nineteen Xuan, and he was still unbeatable. Today, it is his home court. Both the monks of the Xuan generation and the monks and lay disciples are several times more powerful than that day.
.
All Xuan knew about today's meeting, and Xuan Ci wanted to die to apologize in order to maintain the reputation of Shaolin. This meeting was an eternal farewell. Although everyone had practiced Buddhism for many years, they had not reached the Buddhist state of no dwelling and no attachment.
Everyone looked sad and chanted the Buddha's name in unison.
Then more than 300 Shaolin lay disciples rushed out, and everyone recognized these famous martial arts figures.
Abbot Xuanji stepped forward, bowed and clasped his hands before the heroes, and said: "Our temple has been passed down to this day, and is respected by friends in the world. We can say that the world's martial arts is authentic, and we can be called the pillars of the martial arts world. However, we do not hold our bodies upright and do not cultivate virtue.
If you violate my Buddhist principles, you will no longer be able to stand in the martial arts world.
Xuan Tong felt sad in his heart. How could he not know that Xuan Ci had no intention of living today. He wanted to protect the reputation of Shaolin with his own life. Now the matter was irreversible. He said with tears: "The law enforcement monk, beat Xuan Ci hard."
Two hundred sticks of kindness."
But all your senior fellow apprentices are too prejudiced against me, so it’s really hard to treat you to a wedding drink, lest it make it difficult for you to violate the precepts.”
After all, there are more than 30 monks of the Xuan generation in Shaolin Temple. How can one or two people defeat them? But Gu Chaoci only showed this light skill, and the heroes felt that he was competing with the Shaolin Temple. It was not clear who would win and who would lose.
Has anyone died?
"Is this..."
Xuanci also struggled to stand upright at this time. Gu Chaoci glanced at him, nodded and said: "Master Xuanci is indeed a good husband, a good father, and a good abbot.
At this time, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats was heard, coming continuously from the mountain road, and everyone followed the sound and looked.
But he still came, and he was calm and composed. He couldn't help but feel a little admiration for this madman. He smiled and said: "Gu Jun just said that the grudges are not settled. I dare to ask, when we were in Weihuicheng, if I took advantage of you to be injured,
If all the fellow apprentices attack you, what are the chances of you and your ladyship winning?"
His eyes were like lightning, glancing across the faces of Shaolin Zhuxuan one by one. "You and I know the purpose of this. It's not that we are afraid of getting into trouble and causing trouble to Shaolin. What qualifications do you have to teach me?"
"The country is for the people" are these four extremely important words?"
Her words were plain and simple, but to the ears of the Shaolin monks, they were like being struck by lightning. Some monks with low concentration could not help but sway a few times.
Although Xuanji and others had to deal with family matters, they could not stop thinking about Gu Chaoci in their hearts. When they saw the two monks running towards them, they thought to themselves: "Finally we are here!"
The martial arts people present were horrified after seeing this move.
I saw several horses rolling up the mountain like the wind. After a moment, the heroes' eyes lit up as they approached, and they saw that the riders on the first four horses were all women, wearing big green cloaks. The most surprising thing was that they looked exactly the same!
The four women ran close and pulled the horses to both sides. Finally, two white horses and two black horses galloped out.
As soon as Xuanji and others received the news, they knew that Shaolin Temple was facing a critical moment of glory and disgrace. After discussing with Xuanci and other senior brothers, Xuanji immediately passed on the decree of the abbot, ordering all monks and lay disciples within a thousand miles to return to the temple to listen.
.
Then he looked at the law enforcement monk and said sternly: "Law enforcement monk, use your staff quickly."
Before Xuanji could answer, Xuanci said loudly: "Thank you all for your kindness, but the precepts are like a mountain and cannot be lenient."
The visitor's voice was not loud, but with three to five thousand people gathered in the square, everyone could hear him clearly.
Gu Chaoci glanced sideways at him and said, "What does this have to do with me?"
If Xuan Ci's sins are pardoned, it will be a victory but also a defeat, but if the law is enforced impartially, even a defeat will be an honor.
Xuanci said in a deep voice: "You are also a great talent in the world, don't you really have no intention of serving the country and the people?"
Especially the masters of martial arts know that Gu Chaoci can cross several feet and fly up without relying on luck. Such an incredible move cannot be achieved by relying solely on the exquisiteness of Qinggong.
Kankan struck more than forty times with the cane, but Xuanci couldn't bear it anymore. His hands on the ground softened and his face touched the dust.
The two law enforcement monks put their hands together and bowed to Xuanci, saying, "Uncle, I'm offended." Then they stood up straight, raised their sticks, and struck Xuanci on the back.
This is really hard to answer. Gu Chaoci's admission seems to make Wang Yuyan weak, but if he doesn't admit it, it seems like he is trying to make excuses.
Xuanji's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Gu Jun and Xiao Yuanshan are enemies rather than friends, why do you care about him so much?"
From today onwards, our temple will be closed to the public, isolated from the world of mortals, practicing Buddhism in secret, seeking to save ourselves first before saving others, so we can no longer pay attention to the affairs of the world, I hope everyone will know this."
Xuanci was seriously injured, his face turned purple, and he couldn't bring himself to breathe, so he tremblingly said: "You..."
Everyone knew that Gu Chaoci's words were correct. If he said that the Shaolin abbot did not know who "does no evil", no one would believe it at all.
Even the Shaolin monks chanted the Buddha's name together.
Gu Chaoci added: "Have you ever interfered too much when she was doing evil in the world? If you had given her a word of advice, I'm sorry Ye Erniang would not have dared not disobey her!
But you only care about your own reputation. Are those parents who will never see their children again not citizens in your eyes?
The precepts that you Xuanci broke are not limited to the precepts of sexual intercourse?
It’s simply sanctimonious and pretentious, just to make people laugh!”
Xuanci was seriously injured, and his concentration was naturally greatly reduced. How could he withstand such a sharp verbal attack, which was comparable to the Six Meridians Divine Sword? With a "pop", a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell down on his back.
