Chapter 138 Seed theory serves horse thief
The boss waited for the eighteen horsemen and slowly retreated to the mountain gate with the sweeping monk.
Although the monks in Shaolin Temple were unwilling to accept it, the abbot had already given the order and they had to obey it. They could only watch these people leave the temple gate.
"Abbot, why did you let them take away the nameless elder?"
Yichen couldn't help it anymore and asked Huo Yuanzhen. In his opinion, as long as Huo Yuanzhen takes action, and with him and others, although the horse thieves are very strong, they are definitely not opponents of their own side.
"Junior brother, you are wrong. It's not that they took Elder Wuming away, but that Elder Wuming brought them."
Huo Yuanzhen explained with a smile, thinking to himself that Old Monster Du! Wuming! This time you have done something for me, and I will let everyone throw garbage every day and anywhere in the future.
However, Huo Yuan really understands Wuming very much. Wuming doesn't want to show his martial arts in front of others, and he doesn't want Wuming's strength to be exposed to outsiders. This is Shaolin's trump card and it must not be easily known. At the critical moment, it can definitely produce miraculous effects.
However, Yichen didn't understand Huo Yuanzhen's words, so he was stunned for a moment and asked what else.
"No need to ask, go and see if the elder is sweeping the floor outside now?"
"What?!"
Yichen was shocked and thought to himself that the abbot was not confused. He had just taken it away and could come back so quickly to sweep the floor. I guess he hadn't reached the middle of the mountain yet.
But he still followed the abbot's words and came to the yard. When he looked out, his chin almost fell off.
Wuming still held the broken broom and was still sweeping the floor there twitchingly. And looking at him, it seemed that he had been sweeping for a while.
"I just left the door and put it back?"
Yichen could only think about this. Otherwise, there would be no second reasonable explanation.
When he saw it, he hurried back to report to Huo Yuanzhen: "Abbot. The nameless elder was still sweeping the floor in the yard. It seemed that the horse thieves had let him go when they went out and were not beaten."
"Amitabha, this is natural. As the elder of Shaolin, I naturally have three thousand Jialan protection when traveling. How could those horse thieves hurt him? I guess those horse thieves will be punished by the Buddha for hijacking the nameless elder."
Yichen did not answer. Although the abbot is a god who can communicate with the Buddha, it does not mean that the others in Shaolin are the same. The Buddha may be able to bless the abbot, but it may not be able to bless other monks.
The Buddha wanted to bless so many people, so he couldn't be busy.
Wuming was released back to heaven for his blessing. As for the Buddha's punishment of the horse thief, Yichen dared not think about it.
Seeing Yichen's appearance, Huo Yuanzhen smiled and said, "Your junior brother, don't you believe it. You can go outside the temple gate and see what those horse thieves are doing now?"
Yichen nodded and left, his heart was filled with doubts, wanting to see what was going on.
After Yichen left, Huo Yuanzhen said softly: "What a sharp point in the air. While the other party let go and his back to you, he even pointed eighteen people in the blink of an eye, and the place did not move. The person who was clicked still doesn't understand what's going on. Wuming, Wuming. How much strength do you still hide? This abbot is really looking forward to it."
*********************************
When Yichen came outside the temple gate, he saw a scene that would be unforgettable for him.
Eighteen people were posing in various shapes, either walking, talking, or running. They all turned their backs to the temple gate and remained motionless there.
"I've been lit up!"
Yichen is also a master of acupoints, so he can naturally see that this situation is in the state after being pointed.
But who can do this? Tap these eighteen acquired masters in a row, or even acquired perfect way, and prevent the other party from noticed?
Because Yichen could see that none of these people turned their heads, that is, they were all locked without any precautions.
As a congenital master, I can’t imagine that anyone can do this?
Maybe the abbot is possible, but the abbot has never left. Who will it be?
Is it an unknown elder?
Yichen shook his head. If Elder Wuming had this ability, he would not have been captured by the horse thief in the temple.
Is it really the Buddha’s blessing as the abbot said?
After thinking about it, I couldn't figure out the result, so Yichen could only turn his attention back to the real problems.
What should we do with these horse thieves now?
It is definitely not possible to remove the acupoints, and it is even more impossible to kill them. So I might as well go back and let the abbot decide.
Before he could go back, Huiwu from the temple brought a group of monks out and said after seeing Yichen, "Uncle Yichen, the abbot asked us to carry these horse thieves to his yard."
The monks were so sloppy that two men carried one and moved eighteen horse thieves like wood-carved and clay sculptures to the side room of Huo Yuanzhen's abbot's courtyard.
There were already many foods prepared indoors, including white flour steamed buns, millet porridge, fried mushrooms with cabbage, mapo tofu, shredded potatoes, white fungus soup, etc., and two tables were set up in a row.
Huo Yuanzhen was alone indoors, and after all the eighteen horse thieves were moved in, he let the rest retreat.
"Dear donors, your acupoints will be automatically untied soon. Ma Shuan is at the entrance of the temple and eat the food on the table. After eating, come to the main hall to find me to get some money. If you lack anything in the future, come to Shaolin and don't harass the people."
After saying these words, Huo Yuanzhen turned around and left the room and returned to the main hall.
Huo Yuanzhen left for a while, but sure enough, these people were all sore and soft, and their acupoints were self-relieving, and their ability to move was restored.
These people did not go to eat those things as soon as possible, but looked at the boss together. They had too many doubts to explain.
"Brother, are you the one who talks about our acupoints? Is that old monk or this abbot?"
The boss pondered for a moment: "I guess it's the abbot, but the old monk must have martial arts, but it shouldn't be as high as this level. You all have seen the abbot's light skills. Only this kind of light skills can we all click in a short time."
These horse thieves nodded one after another. The abbot was full of mystery. Although he was not old, he had the feeling of being a hidden master. He made people unable to live in a confrontation.
"Will we eat these rice?"
"Of course, I'll starve to death if I don't eat it!"
Eighteen people made two tables, and they started to move at the same time. They swept away the food like a wind and clouds, and their stomachs were rounded.
After eating, everyone looks at me, I look at you, but I don’t know what to do next.
I have no money to leave, but I still go hungry when I go out, but I have no excuses to stay. It is impossible for me to keep a few of them for free.
"Brother, didn't the abbot say that when we finish eating, can we go to him to get some money? Let's go now. When we have money in the future, we will return it to him."
Although Huo Yuanzhen is good to these horse thieves, these are not enough to make them become monks.
The boss nodded: "Then let's go together."
"good."
More than a dozen horse thieves came to the main hall.
When you enter here, the room is filled with incense and candles, the fragrance is pleasant, and there is tranquility and tranquility everywhere. Even these horse thieves can't help but calm down.
No matter what, this abbot is good to him and others, and the horse thieves still respect him a little, and they walked lightly towards Huo Yuanzhen's bedroom.
When I walked to the door, I heard someone talking inside. As I was talking, it seemed that I was waiting for someone. The boss stopped quickly and signaled everyone to silence and listen to what was said inside.
The monk named Yichen who heard said, "Abbot, I have something unknown to you. Please ask you for advice?"
"You and my brothers don't have to be polite. But it's okay."
"You treat those horse thieves so kindly, as if you sow the seeds of kindness in their hearts, but they are thieves after all. No matter how many seeds you sow, it is afraid that it will be difficult to lead them to goodness. My junior brother is afraid that everything you do is futile."
When the horse thieves outside heard this, they felt a little annoyed and thought to themselves that we are so unbearable to teach us? We are not the kind of evil bad guys, right?
The abbot's voice in the room sounded: "Young brother's words are wrong. Indoctrinating good thoughts is indeed like sowing seeds, but you should not be impatient or impatient. Teach your teachings at any time."
"Senior brother, sowing seeds is not that easy. Horse thieves naturally have their theories. If your seeds are sown, first of all, some of them will be refuted by their theories, as if they are blown away by the wind."
The horse thieves pricked up their ears and listened, but they didn't feel trusted, and they felt so uncomfortable.
"Everyone has ideas and opinions, and what can stand the test of time is correct. I can't say that my philosophy is correct, just like seeds. You can't guarantee that every one is full and that is blown away by the wind is empty. If you can't sprout after sowing, you can't sprout. You can't sprout after sowing. You can't sprout."
When the horse thieves heard the abbot's words, they suddenly felt warm in their hearts. It turned out that being understood and trusted was such a happy thing.
"But my junior brother is afraid that even if they accept your philosophy, they will have different opinions. It's like a seed that will inevitably be eaten by birds when they are sown. In the end, it's out of place with my Shaolin spirit."
"What are you afraid of? I have a vast Buddhist school and profound teachings. If I can't understand this concept, I can understand that concept. People's growth and experience are different, and their fortunes are naturally different. If the seeds are sown, there are a few birds that can eat and follow the circumstances."
The boss took a deep breath outdoors. The abbot's words were full of Zen everywhere, so tolerant and kind everywhere, understanding and tolerance, listening to him, how could he feel like he was with his parents as a child?
The hateful monk Yichen seemed to have not given up and continued, "But my Shaolin is a sect in the world. My senior brother is not afraid that they will come into contact with the world in the future and be influenced by the glitz of the world. It is like seeds are sown and washed by rain. Can they slip away at any time?"
Huo Yuanzhen waved his hand: "As long as there is Buddha in his heart, the Buddha's heart is firm, and he will naturally be afraid of anything else. It doesn't matter if the rain washes it. You will sprout everywhere, and follow the circumstances."
After hearing the abbot's words, these horse thieves outside looked at the boss, and their eyes revealed a sense of firmness.
This is the first time they have been understood and trusted so much since they were young. At this moment, they have a common mind.
That Yichen seemed to have to say something. These horse thieves could no longer stand this Yichen's repeated instigation. Finally, they walked into Huo Yuanzhen's room together, knelt down in one go, and said to Huo Yuanzhen: "Abbot, we brothers have thought about it and are willing to become a monk in Shaolin and accept your teachings."
After saying that, these people all gave provocative eyes to Yichen.
Yichen stood up suddenly and said to them: "You...you are horse thieves, and you are actually willing to be a monk?"
Huo Yuanzhen sat on the cushion, his fingers were like picking a flower, and he chuckled: "People's hearts are good, which is the right truth. I think it should be like this, rejoice!"
