Zhu Tong met Kong Ji for the first time. From the looks of it, Kong Ji was more handsome than Kong Mu and Kong Xue. He was fatter than the fake monk invited by his senior brother. He really looked like a eminent monk with a red face, fat head and big ears. It was rare.
What's surprising is that after walking so many mountain roads, this big fat man Kong Ji still has a steady breath and steady steps; judging from his physical skills, he is not much worse than the Snow Kuang Monk.
"Amitabha, Living Buddha Suowonda, it's been a long time, how are you doing all the time?" Kongji stood in front of the table, but did not sit down. He put his hands together and asked Suowonda.
"There is no Suowenda here, let alone a living Buddha." Suowenda stood up and met Master Kongji according to the rules of the world; "I wish Fei had met Master Kongji."
"Why?" Kong Ji asked.
"No reason, why is Master Kongji here? Zhu Fei is now a disciple of Zhu Tong, and he will obey the master's instructions. If you need anything, master, please talk to Zhu Fei's master, master Zhu." Suowanda retreated behind Zhu Tong.
.
At this moment, Zhu Tong and Zhu Huai stood side by side, holding their hands together; they communicated quickly with gestures in the Zhumen secret language. Suowanda stepped back, and their hands had separated.
"Master Kongji, Master Kongmu, please sit down and drink tea. Hongfa Temple is a small temple with a small incense, and the conditions are simple. Please invite two masters to include it." Zhu Tong diligently arranged for them to sit down, but he was still standing, looking around and said.
: "The master is indeed a master, and the first-grade Golden Buddha is indeed a first-grade one. Just by looking at this posture, you can tell that Buddhism is prosperous. But why is Master Kongji here?"
"Amitabha, Master Zhu, please don't misunderstand me. The Golden Buddha Temple is here to congratulate Senior Brother Zhu Meng on his return to the sea as a fellow disciple. A small gift is not respectful." Kong Ji did not come empty-handed, Kong Mu stepped forward and presented a
A greeting card and a small golden Buddha statue.
We really don’t need so many people to send Buddha statues!
The little liar couldn't believe that the monks would be so kind. Jiang Xiaoyu and Qi Xiang had quietly stood behind Kong Ji, and Kong Huan and Snow Kuang Monk were also in place.
Looking at the masters of the first-grade Golden Buddha and the second-grade Tao sect outside the hall, it seems that the masters of the Tao sect are more powerful in terms of cultivation. Compared with their famous reputation, the name of the first-grade Golden Buddha Kongzijie has completely overshadowed the Taoist masters.
It’s a sect; judging from the number of people, the Yipin Golden Buddha is really the largest sect in the world.
Thinking of this, I started to worry about it. It turns out that the martial arts masters are just like the little hooligans. Everyone is here to form a formation. Since so many people have come, there will definitely not be any scuffle scenes today. That would be too embarrassing.
.If we fight alone, it seems impossible. With Zhu Fei here, who dares to challenge?
However, it cannot be said that they are all here to reason. Who knows what other tricks the great monks of the Golden Buddha will play? Zhu Tong does not want to be exposed to tricks, that would be too passive. Since everyone is here for the treasure of Nalaoshizi
, just be more generous and avoid wasting everyone’s time and energy.
"It's incredible. It's a shame for Zhumen to have so many famous golden Buddha masters standing there. Senior brother must have had a deep friendship with you in the past. Zhu Tong would like to thank you on behalf of senior brother. However, you didn't even say hello when you came.
We are extremely disrespectful."
Zhu Huai had contacts with the monks of the First Grade Golden Buddha, but they were not friends. Everyone knew this. Kong Ji did not blush, he actually put his palms together and accepted the ridicule calmly.
"These two are friends from the Japanese Buddhist community..." Kong Ji turned around and let out two people, also wearing monk's robes; Buddhism in the world is one family, at least on the surface, there is not much difference from the monks in the Central Plains.
Surprisingly calm, not only did the little liar be a little more careful, Suowonda also flashed a glance, and the female living Buddha who had just entered the Zhumen stepped forward to be on guard.
"It's hard work, traveling across the ocean is tiring, isn't it? Zhu Shan, ask the foreign monks to sit down." Kong Ji wanted to say something else, but Zhu Tong didn't give him another chance, ignored the Japanese monks, and pulled Zhu Huai to stand in the middle of the hall:
"Today is so lively, it can be said to be a grand gathering of the world. Ha! You are all here to congratulate me and wish the sect's senior brother to see the light of day again? To express your gratitude, senior brother has something to say."
Zhu Huai took three steps forward and looked around the hall: "Zhu Huai alone has such a big reputation that he can invite so many experts to gather together. Some of them are known to Zhu Huai, and some have not met yet. However,
Since everyone is here, Zhumen will give you an explanation."
As he spoke, Zhu Huai raised his right hand; "Here is an ancient seal; Zhu Huai accidentally bought it in Xi'an five years ago. After careful examination, he found that it was related to a treasure that was closely related to Jianghu Dao. Unfortunately, later,
There are so many details that I haven’t had time to look for them. Alas, it’s all my fault for being greedy, but I didn’t expect that my sect would receive so much...attention."
Everyone's eyes in the hall were drawn to Zhu Huai's raised right hand. There was an old black leather bag. Jiang Xiaoyu, Yu Xuan, the whistle, Kong Jing, Kong Mu... pairs of eyes were all staring at it.
They all knew that inside, there must be another ancient seal with clues to Jiangnan treasures.
"Just now, Master Zhu said that he wanted Zhu Huai to give everyone an explanation. Now, Zhu Huai will..."
"Wait a minute! Why do Zhu Men need to give you an explanation?" Another deep voice came from outside Hongfa Temple, causing the bronze bell outside Hongfa Temple to buzz; this level of cultivation alone is enough to intimidate people.
This time, three big shots: the Hermits arrived.
The speaker was Zhou Banweng, who looked like a fairy in flowing white clothes; Qin Tongshan and Mei Ye were beside Banweng.
Behind is Lan Zhanjiang, as well as Liu Xilan and Mei Lanting, the second sisters of Bapin Orchid.
The old swindler ended up at the end of the list. He was wearing the same white cloth shoes as Zhou Banweng, and was flanked by the beautiful girl from Shen Shixuan.
"Originally, this kind of Jianghu gathering has nothing to do with our old man. It's just that Zhou couldn't figure out one thing, so he asked Kong Ji to host it and Yuxuan Dao Sect to consult for details." Zhou Banweng didn't enter the main hall, but was in front of the hall door.
"Hulala..." After a burst of chaos in Hongfa Temple, it was so quiet that you could hear the sound of a pin dropping.
"Amitabha, Banweng, please speak." Master Kongji walked to the door of the temple and clasped his hands. What he valued most should be the Hidden Dragon Sword in Banweng's hand.
"Ban Weng, please speak, Yu Xuan is all ears." Master Yu Xuan also came out, and the two named by Zhou Ban Weng met with this legendary figure in the world.
"There are already a lot of people paying attention to this place. What are you doing? You should disperse quickly. What time is it now? In what era? Are you still doing these tricks of forcing people to come to your door? Monk Kongji, thirty years ago, I
When the "Marrow Cleansing Sutra" was handed over to you, I once said: "The arena is not what it used to be. Everything should be kept low-key. The usefulness of these things is getting smaller and smaller." At that time, I thought you were a sensible person. Why are you so ignorant today?
calm?"
When Zhou Banweng said this, everyone looked at the monks of the Golden Buddha Temple with strange eyes; it turned out that the magical skills of the Golden Buddha Temple were retained by others and then passed on to the monks.
Kong Ji's face was slightly red, and he knew that the old man was really angry, otherwise he would not openly betray the first-grade Golden Buddha. However, on this occasion, he really couldn't explain anything. Could he say: Zhou Banweng only gave one roll?
The "Marrow Cleansing Sutra" and a volume of the Twelve Skills of the Golden Buddha. The martial arts secrets in the Sutra Pavilion of the Golden Buddha Temple were compiled and collected by monks scattered around?
"Yu Xuan, why are you here? You have just taken the position of Dao Sect. How many things do you have to worry about in the Dao Sect? You are so free." Zhou Banweng looked at Master Yu Xuan again.
Yu Xuan said sternly: "Senior, I'm not Yu Xuan Qingxian. A few days ago, Yu Xuan and Elder Shui went to western Sichuan to visit Fanxing Taoist priests. When passing through Wanxian County, they found... Jianghu people gathered here. You always know that Bamboo Road
Before Zong ascended the throne, he had warned him to make good friends with Zhumen and cherish his fellow disciples. After Yu Xuan sent someone to inquire, he found out that they were all here for Brother Zhumen. The disciples of Daozong were here to resolve disputes. Zhu Zhang
The door can bear witness.”
That sounds nice, but on the surface, Master Yu Xuan is really on Zhumen’s side.
Zhu Tong saw Zhou Banweng looking at him, took a few steps forward and said: "Senior, well. You should always take care of yourself, maybe there is some misunderstanding. Everyone is here to congratulate senior brother Zhu Huai, no harm to your kindness; Yu Xuan Dao Sect is here to congratulate you.
I wish the door to save face. I said I came here to wave the flag. In fact, it’s nothing important. All the people here are guests. Ha! I just didn’t expect so many people to come. They didn’t say hello in advance. It’s so rude to wish the door. I am the leader.
It’s really unqualified. Zhumen’s dojo is so narrow that even the seniors from the martial arts world are here, and there’s not even a place to sit. If I had known that everyone would give me such respect, Zhumen would be in the best hotel with private rooms in the city. I wish everyone had done it.
lively."
The old liar looked up at the sky, and a smile appeared on Jade Girl's face; Mei Lanting and Liu Xilan even laughed out loud. Just because Zhu Tong's words were mixed together, it was said to be a good thing, but it didn't look like it; there was nothing rude about it.
But he couldn't tell. On the surface, he didn't offend anyone, but when he tasted the smell in his butt, he didn't seem to even notice it.
Ten minutes later, Hongfa Temple became quiet.
The disciples of each sect were dismissed by their masters or abbots, and only a few remained.
There were only Master Kongji and Kongmu in the Golden Buddha Temple, and only Master Yuxuan and Elder Huo in the Dao Sect. Jiang Xiaoyu was not qualified to stay, and Qidian wanted to leave. It was Zhu Tong who grabbed them two and said: "There are few people among the eight sects in the world.
When we gathered together, it goes without saying, Senior Sir, that Brother Jiang is a local landowner and I hope our family will make a fortune here. I also want Qingyang to take care of me. I have something to entrust to you later."
Suowanda and Qusangzhuomu were not uninvolved in such things. They had already gone to the cave temple to talk with Zhu Yun. Master Xiaoyun had a lot to ask for advice.
Even so, the main hall of Hongfa Temple could not accommodate so many people, so everyone sat down in front of the hall, and of course Zhou Banweng sat at the top table.
Zhu Tong waited for everyone to sit down and said respectfully: "Thank you all for coming to support me. I don't have to worry about the tea." He also winked at the senior brother.
Zhu Huai glanced at the old liar and hesitated; the old liar looked indifferent, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him. In fact, the only people present who could recognize the old liar were the third senior brother Zhu Men and
A few people, such as Jade Girl, Mei Ye, Zhou Banweng, etc.
Master Kong Ji and Master Yu Xuan didn't know who this old man was; Siren was also looking at the old liar suspiciously, as if he had seen some signs. Zhu Men's disguise technique was the secret technique that Sipin Honghuo had always hoped to obtain.
"Senior seniors, fellow practitioners, Zhu Huai is ashamed, and we all have come together in one place. Youdao is guilty of evildoing, and Zhu's disciples are few and far between, and dare not be greedy for wealth. Today, I will give you everything from this jade seal.
Explain it..."
Zhu Huai first handed the old black leather bag to Zhou Banweng, and then told a story.
Zhu Tongben was still a little worried, fearing that his senior brother would make some mistakes. After Zhu Huai finished speaking, he secretly admired this weird story. Only his senior brother who had been immersed in antiques and cultural relics for many years could tell it perfectly. He did not have such ability.
After the story was told, Zhu Huai bowed deeply to Zhu Tong: "Master, I didn't explain it clearly, causing everyone to misunderstand that Zhu Men wanted to monopolize the treasure. In fact, I have always been very doubtful about the authenticity of this matter. Please go and find it, Master."
It’s just luck; I didn’t really believe in this treasure until I heard someone found two jade seals a month ago.”
"These two needles were indeed given by Japanese friends. He said that they were bought at the ghost market in Beijing during the Republic of China and have been hidden in Japan." Zhu Tong took out the dragon and phoenix needles and told the story of how he got them.
Opportunity to clean yourself up.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhou Banweng's hands. Needless to say, Jiang Xiaoyu and Siren, Master Kongji also had a look of greed in his eyes. Master Yu Xuan simply didn't dare to look, and looked at Zhu Huai and Zhu Tong with a look of confusion.
The look of thinking.
"Now that the matter has been made clear, Master Kongji should understand that Zhumen has absolutely no intention of taking it all for himself. It is still unknown and there are not many clues to find the treasure. This jade seal has been hidden in Hongfa Temple by senior brother. If he doesn't come out, our
There are not as many clues as Brother Jiang. I remember Brother Jiang once said that he got the news earlier than us."
When Zhu Tong said this, Jiang Xiaoyu had no choice but to stand up and tell the story again on the dock; however, he never took out the jade seal he got, and only gave Zhou Banweng two rubbings, which he said beautifully.
: "This is the clue we got. For it, the masters of the Golden Buddha and the brothers of Honghuo have worked hard. Senior Banweng, this is a treasure that belongs to the world. It should be shared and searched for by everyone."
Zhou Banweng opened the black leather bag and took out a brocade bag. When he opened the brocade bag, he saw a Tianhuang stone jade seal.
The yin and yang drums shake the spirit, the dragon head clouds are hidden in the Zen forest; ---, Xingui Shengdong Huiquan Mountain. There are already three poems and three maps. Even with Zhou Banweng's knowledge, he can't figure out where this treasure is hidden.
.
"Ahem! Let me take a look." Mei Ye stepped forward, took the rubbings and ancient seals and studied them for a long time, and said: "Based on these three poems, it seems that the treasure should be near Nanjing. Moreover, the owner of the treasure should be
Emperor Yunwen, who was usurped by his uncle. You see, there is an "ox" in this sentence, and there is a head in this sentence. It seems to be the pattern of an acrostic poem. There is a mountain near Nanjing, called Niutoushan. Master Kongji should know that in the past
, there are hundreds of monasteries up and down Niutoushan. There is also the saying "Longtou Yunyunyin Zen Forest", which can be compared. There has long been a legend in the market that Emperor Yunwen transformed into a monk after being defeated. However, Master Kongji and Saint Huiquan
Are there any detailed Buddhist records of Master’s life? If we can find his Taoist temple, we may be able to find more clues.”
"Teacher Mei is still smarter." Zhu Tong pretended to admire him. The only ones who knew the inside story were the old liar and Mei Ye. The master was the master. Their analysis was clear and logical, and they had a tacit understanding.
Zhou Banweng was old and seemed a little tired; Zhu Tong twisted the dragon star and lightly pricked the corners of his eyebrows a few times.
"Good needles, good methods." Zhou Banweng shook his head and said with a laugh: "Zhu Men's ability to treat diseases has always been miraculous."
"It won't be that simple." Lan Zhanjiang handed the dragon star hair back to Zhu Tong and said leisurely: "A month ago, Master Kongji sent me to find me boringly and asked me to give Brother Zhu a message: The dragon and phoenix stars are Buddhist treasures. As long as I can
Return them to the Golden Buddha Temple, and the first-class Golden Buddha will grant any request you have."
"Any requests?"
Zhu Tong looked at him for a moment, looked at Master Kongji, and suddenly wanted to understand the true meaning of those words.
However, since Lan Zhanjiang was pretending to be confused, Zhu Tong didn't want to explain it to him and just smiled and let him have tea.
Zhou Banweng spoke from the side and told an ancient story.
