Chapter 25 Su Huazi
On the Shaolin Mountain Road, the shade of green trees during the day look gloomy and terrifying at night. The howling mountain wind blows, causing Ning Wanjun and Xiao Cui's skirts to fly.
"Miss, why do you want to leave Tie Niu? He is so stupid, can he succeed? Why don't you find a reliable person in the headquarters?" Xiao Cui asked in confusion.
Ning Wanjun had removed her veil and her beautiful face couldn't be seen clearly at night. She turned around and said to Xiao Cui: "You don't understand. Tie Niu is stupid, but it is because of his stupidity that it is easier to gain the trust of that abbot. If you find a clever person from the headquarters, it will be bad."
"Clever people can have bad things? Why?" Xiao Cui was very puzzled.
"You underestimate the abbot. This person is unfathomable. I was in the pagoda and I had removed the veil, but it did not cause any emotional fluctuations in him. Moreover, he didn't care about my identity at all. I couldn't tell the level of martial arts. On the surface, it seemed that there was no skill, but the roar in front of the mountain gate clearly means that the Buddhist lion roar has reached an extremely high level, and he deliberately controlled his internal strength. How could such a skill be an incompetent person? This person is actually extremely smart, but he is a monk and doesn't pay attention to worldly things. If he finds a clever one, it will make him alert. Once he is alert, it will be useless for anyone I want to go to."
"He is so powerful, I'm afraid that the iron bull is useless there?"
"No, as long as that, if it is indeed on Shaolin Yuzhai Mountain, Tie Niu will sooner or later discover it, let alone Dahuang. The ability to find things is much better than humans."
Xiao Cui nodded: "Miss, you are more thoughtful than Xiao Cui."
"Stop talking, it's night, let's hurry up and hurry up."
Ning Wanjun turned around and looked at Shaolin Temple in the dark night, then jumped up on the spot with Xiao Cuishuang, and came to the treetops, and lit branches at the foot, disappearing into the dark night like a fairy in Lingbo.
******************************
After seeing Ning Wanjun off, Huo Yuanzhen was a little wary.
However, Huo Yuanzhen could still feel that although Ning Wanjun had her purpose, she had no malice.
But now I don’t know what she is about, so I can only be careful.
That night, because Tie Niu was too big, the small temple could not accommodate him, so he had to let him stay in the bedroom that had not been completely built for a night.
The tiger did not follow Ning Wanjun and the others to leave, but entered the mountains and forests.
The next morning, Huo Yuanzhen, Yikong and others continued to recruit lay disciples, and Tie Niu was also arranged by them to register and follow everyone to undergo the inspection. Only after passing the qualification can you enter Shaolin.
There were about one hundred people coming to sign up today. Tie Niu stood in the crowd, his height of more than two meters was extremely conspicuous.
After yesterday's test of patience, the news has been spread. Among the people who come today, as long as they pass the physical examination, they will perform well in the postgraduate entrance examination patience level.
After several monks' inspections, there were more than twenty people who passed the exam.
Among them is Tie Niu, and Huang Feihong, who also came to Shaolin today, hoping to become a lay disciple.
More than 20 people who have passed will accept the final test of Huo Yuanzhen. Once they pass the test of Huo Yuanzhen's character, they will officially become a disciple of Shaolin lay people.
Today Huo Yuanzhen wore a new gray cloth monk robe, which is also his only new monk robe.
Huo Yuanzhen had already planned it. After the lay disciples were recruited, he immediately started changing clothes in Shaolin. The monk's robe was either gray or yellow, and it was as ugly as it was. Being a monk was already bald, and his clothes were so shabby, it was really not in line with his future identity as the largest martial arts sect.
The final assessment location was in the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda. Huo Yuanzhen moved a table and sat at the entrance of the tower, and the person who received the character test stood under the steps.
After more than 20 people who passed the test arrived, Huo Yuanzhen announced: "The last assessment will start in half an hour. During this period, you can move freely, but you are not allowed to leave the fourth area. Just within this range, after half an hour, come to me to gather."
These people were originally worried about not being able to pass the last level, but now they heard the abbot say that they could move freely for half an hour first, and their tense nerves were relaxed.
Most of the people are from their hometowns and know each other, wandering around in groups of three or five in the fourth area.
Huo Yuanzhen meditated in the tower and silently practiced his boy skills.
In this fourth area, Huo Yuanzhen placed 100 copper plates in every corner and hidden places, while Huang Feihong was his own insider, secretly supervising the character of these people after picking up the copper plates.
Huang Feihong is already a Shaolin lay disciple appointed by Huo Yuanzhen. He also helped Shaolin repel the enemy. He had nothing to say about his character. He was a native of Dengfeng, so he would be the best at supervising him.
Everyone went out to wander, but the only iron cow was still standing under the steps, motionless, like a huge black iron tower.
Huo Yuanzhen said curiously: "Tieniu, why don't you go out for a walk? It's not time yet."
"I want to protect the abbot here," Tie Niu replied in a muffled voice, loud voice.
"Oh, protect me? Do you think I don't have the ability to protect myself?" Huo Yuanzhen asked pretending to be profound.
Tie Niu thought for a while: "You seem to have some skills, but I still have to protect you. This is what the lady told me."
Yesterday, he used a lion roar in front of Tie Niu. Although there was room for nothing, most people could not stand it. Tie Niu's face changed color at that time and took a step back. It seemed that nothing serious was wrong, but Huo Yuan really believed that he would definitely not feel good either.
It’s just that he is extremely strong, so it seems nothing is wrong.
Thinking of yesterday's scene, Huo Yuanzhen's heart moved, sat there and leaned forward, opened his mouth, as if he was about to shout something.
Sure enough, Tie Niu's face changed color, and he couldn't help but take a step back, revealing a hint of fear.
This iron bull is talented and can fight tigers and leopards with bare hands. He never knew what he was afraid of, but the sudden shout of Huo Yuanzhen standing in front of him yesterday really made him feel scared.
Even if Huo Yuan is really good at martial arts, he will not be afraid of him easily. However, Huo Yuanzhen just shouted, which made him feel excited and dizzy. Although he was not prepared at the time, this unknown method made him unable to understand and he would naturally feel afraid.
Tienniu's performance made Huo Yuan really satisfied. He leaned back in the chair. Judging from the meaning of his face, it seemed that Tienniu was put on his horse.
Tien Niu breathed a sigh of relief, but he was increasingly unable to figure out the details of Huo Yuan's true background.
How could he know that Huo Yuanzhen was also pretending. Apart from yelling, Huo Yuanzhen had no other ability to take action.
It was soon half an hour, and during this period, Huang Feihong quietly slipped back a few times and reported to Huo Yuanzhen what happened after some people discovered the copper plate.
It's time, and these people gathered together again, waiting for Huo Yuan to really get the assessment.
"This time, the assessment has been completed for recruiting Shaolin lay disciples."
Huo Yuanzhen's first sentence was shocked. Most of the people present were stunned. Only a few people were enlightened and showed a look of joy.
"Abbot, haven't started yet? Why is it over?"
Someone asked questions.
Huo Yuanzhen stood up from behind the table, came to the steps of the pagoda, and looked down at everyone: "I am a Buddhist. When Buddhism chooses disciples, the first thing that values is a person's nature. I have said before that, this is the final test, which is a test of a person's nature. This half-hour rest time is actually a test."
Many people understood what they had passed, and their faces were blushing in an instant. No wonder they were good things about picking copper plates on the ground. I'm afraid they were arranged by this abbot.
Sure enough, Huo Yuanzhen continued to speak: "I threw a total of 120 copper plates in this fourth area. You people have found copper plates alone or with others during the rest process, but your performance is different."
As he said that, Huo Yuanzhen took out a list: "The names of all of you are here, but there are only three people who have passed the test."
As he said that, Huo Yuanzhen pronounced the name: "Huang Feihong, pass! Tie Niu, pass! Xiaozi Su, pass!".
After reading it, Huo Yuanzhen said: "It is a kind of virtue to pick up money. People who lose money must be very anxious. Returning the money is actually to relieve others' sufferings and do good deeds. Don't think that a mere piece of money is a small matter. Do not do evil because it is small. Do not do good because it is small. Accumulate goodness and bring good fortune. Accumulate badness and bring disaster. You think carefully and go home alone."
Those who had not been named had nothing to say. They put down the copper plate they had picked up with shame, and then bowed to Huo Yuanzhen one by one and went down the mountain.
Looking at the remaining four people, Huo Yuanzhen said, "You three have now officially become my lay disciples in Shaolin. I will go with the monk to worship my ancestors later, even if I am a Shaolin disciple."
Huang Feihong was an inner disciple. At this time, his face was full of energy and he stood there licking his chest and folding his belly.
Su Xiaozi is a 15 or 16-year-old beggar with a unkempt face. He signed up to be Su Xiaozi.
Huo Yuanzhen looked at this boy Su and asked, "Is your name Su Jiao?"
"Report to the abbot, the boy's surname is Su, but when I was young, my parents were gone. I grew up begging for food. No one named me, everyone called me Su."
Huo Yuanzhen nodded: "As a beggar, you can still earn money. You are very good. In this way, I will give you a layman name today, and it is Su Can."
When Su Can heard that he had a name, she burst into tears in her eyes. When she knelt down there, she kowtowed to Huo Yuanzhen: "Thank you, Master Abbot, I have a name, thank you, Master Abbot,,,."
Su Can! Su Huazi!
Huo Yuanzhen had a thought in his heart, but his face remained silent. After Su Can kowtowed a few times, he asked him to get up and prepared to take a few people to the back mountain.
There is the tomb of the old monk Xuanming there, which is said to worship the Shaolin ancestor, but in fact it is to worship the old monk Xuanming alone.
Just as he was about to go, Tie Niu suddenly knelt down.
"Abbot, I don't want to be a lay disciple, I want to shave my head and be a monk!".;
Chapter completed!
