Chapter 45: Chen Ding's Challenge
Fawang Temple declined overnight.
After passing the miracle consecration ceremony of their Main Hall, no pilgrims went to burn incense. Occasionally, one or two uninformed people wanted to go, and they would definitely be ridiculed by people around them.
After their abbot, the Dharma King, woke up, announced that the temple was disbanded, and the monks and monks were seeking their own way out. He himself rolled up the bedding and went to join one of his junior brothers.
The monks in the temple left almost the same, but they did not all leave.
Monk Li Xuan did not leave. There were four or five monks who stayed with him. These people had one thing in common, that is, their martial arts were all very good.
It is said that Monk Li Xuan gritted his teeth and refused to leave, so he had to take revenge on the Shaolin abbot. If he did not avenge this revenge, he would never leave Shaoshi Mountain.
Of course, no one takes his words seriously. If he doesn't leave, he won't leave. No one is interested in looking at him again.
***************************************
In sharp contrast to Fawang Temple is Huo Yuanzhen Shaolin Temple.
After killing all directions in Fawang Temple and fighting against three eminent monks in a row, Huo Yuanzhen was extremely popular among the people.
People respectfully call him a living Buddha, and his deeds of fighting against the monks are also widely circulated. The compassion of the Abbot Yijie has been spread all over the people. People have a feeling of discomfort and unhappiness. The first thing they think of is to find the Abbot Yijie to solve the doubts.
It is said that the Buddha has supreme wisdom. Now it seems that the abbot of Yijie also has supreme wisdom. If you have any worries, you will definitely be completely worried when you say it to him.
Many people even say that the abbot Yijie doesn’t need to explain in detail to you. Sitting there knocks on wooden fish for you can calm down and forget all your worries.
This kind of thing spreads from ten to ten, and ten to hundreds of them. Soon, there were crowds of people coming to Yuzhai Mountain every day, either going to the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda to burn incense and worship Buddha, or simply going directly to the abbot.
Those who seek wealth, officials, children, and even some people who are sick all go to the abbot to treat him, and the abbot passed on the abbot to do everything.
In fact, Huo Yuanzhen only received the person who wanted to see him for five consecutive days. After that, Huo Yuanzhen couldn't hold on and had no time to practice boy skills at all, and even had no time to rest. In the end, he had no choice but to declare that he had gone to seclusion and did not see any foreign guests, and then he was purified.
Although Li Xuan stayed in Shaoshi Mountain and was still guarding the Fawang Temple and threatening to take revenge, Huo Yuanzhen no longer took him to heart. With a master like Shanyue around him, Li Xuan could not make any trouble.
After this incident, the number of registrations for Shaolin Temple lay disciples has increased again, and about 300 young people come to register every day, and they seem to be more pious.
However, this time, Huo Yuanzhen's inclusion was even stricter. Several lay disciples who had strange intentions had been driven out of the sect because of miracles in the Fawang Temple. So this time, Huo Yuanzhen took the standard of loyalty as an important reference.
But even if the requirements are strict, there are still many more disciples included this time than last time.
After more than ten consecutive days of recruitment screening, only two were recruited every day, and there were 36 disciples who were finally confirmed.
According to Huo Yuanzhen's request, these disciples were shaved into flat heads. Although they were not bald, they were almost the same as the level of reflection.
Later, the clothes were unified and the time for practicing martial arts and practicing Buddhism was increased.
Although there are many people who sign up for lay disciples, Huo Yuanzhen still doesn’t think it’s enough, because there are still relatively few who really want to become a formal Shaolin disciple and become a monk.
It is okay to study Buddhism and cultivate the mind, and practice martial arts to strengthen the body. However, once people completely abandon the outside world, most people still cannot make up this cruelty.
Although it is not easy to recruit formal disciples, Huo Yuanzhen is not very anxious.
During these days, Huo Yuanzhen practiced boy skills every day, and occasionally had time to see lay disciples practice martial arts. It was not easy for people outside to see him.
Although the official building is only ten thousand Buddha pagoda, and the bell tower is similar to the mountain gate, the infrastructure of Shaolin Temple is very good, and the dining halls and bedrooms are all available. The original small temple is now only left for Huo Yuanzhen to live alone.
Days pass day by day. On July 23rd, Huo Yuanzhen pinched his fingers to calculate the days. There are still five days left before July 28th. After five days, he can draw again. This time he must not miss it.
*********************************
I thought five days would have passed like this, but at noon on the 23rd, Guan Shanyue hurriedly ran in and said to Huo Yuanzhen: "Abbot, it's not good, Huang Feihong and Su Can were injured."
Huo Yuan was really practicing boy skills in the room. When he heard Guan Shanyue's words, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a divine light flashed in his eyes: "What's going on?"
The boy's merit is the most pure internal skill in the world. At this time, it is the critical moment for Huo Yuanzhen to practice martial arts. When he suddenly opened his eyes, he naturally had the power to absorb his soul. Guan Shanyue was shocked when he saw Guan Shanyue. He only felt that Huo Yuanzhen's merit was very high and unfathomable.
But Guan Shanyue still replied: "Abbot, this is the case. Today, Huang Feihong and Su Can met Niu Er and his gang in Dengfeng County. We had a holiday between us. When we met, we didn't speak for a speculation and started to fight in just a few words."
Huo Yuanzhen nodded: "This is understandable, but Feihong and Su Can are now diligent in practicing martial arts. Even if Niu Er and others have a larger number, they should not be their opponents."
Huang Feihong and Su Can are both martial arts geniuses, and their talent for martial arts is not as good as that. During this period, they are also led by Shan Yue, a master teacher. In Huo Yuanzhen's opinion, Niu Er and other rogues are really not their opponents.
Guan Shanyue said: "Yes, Niu Er and the others are beaten by Fei Hong and the others."
"Why are you still injured?"
"When Huang Feihong and Su Can win, Chen Ding appeared at this time."
After thinking for a moment, Huo Yuanzhen remembered who Chen Ding was. It was when he was in the money shop that day when he was receiving it, Chen Ding and Chen Daxia, who claimed to be the hero of the Iron Fan Fairy.
Moreover, when Niu Er and others came to Shaolin to make trouble that day, someone said that Niu Er was Chen Ding's brother-in-law.
"But Chen Ding, the hero of the Iron Fan Fairy in Dengfeng County?"
"Yes, it's this guy. When he saw Niu Er and others being beaten, he immediately took action, injured Feihong and Su Can, and threatened that if we Shaolin disciples still came to Dengfeng County, he would beat the other one when he saw him."
Huo Yuanzhen closed his eyes and said without saying a word, "How is this person's martial arts?"
"Martial arts are average, and the middle of the acquired day, and it has not yet entered the late stage. With the skill of using an iron fan to point acupoints, he is considered the number one figure in Dengfeng County, but in the entire Henan Province, he can't rank at all."
Guan Shanyue's tone was filled with disdain. Indeed, in his eyes, the Great Perfection of Acquired Heaven, a person who had not even reached the late stage of Acquired Heaven was really nothing.
"Later stage of acquired days,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
After saying that, Huo Yuanzhen said again: "How are Feihong and Su Can's injuries? Where are the people now?"
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I was injured by the internal palm force. Someone has sent them back. I slightly radiated my true energy for them. It's okay. I'm resting in the bedroom now, but I may have to keep it for ten days and half a month."
"That's good".
Guan Shanyue was a little hesitant, but still said, "Feihong and the others brought back a letter."
"What letter?".
"It's Chen Ding's letter of war."
"Shu Zhan Shu!" Huo Yuanzhen's eyebrows moved slightly, why is there any Shu Zhan Shu?
"Chen Ding said that Shaolin has no ability and dares to teach others how to learn martial arts. On the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, Dengfeng will be held to challenge our Shaolin."
"Just rely on him?"
Huo Yuan was really surprised. Chen Ding, a mid-term acquired man, was overestimating his ability to challenge Shaolin. Not to mention Guan Shanyue, a great master, even Tien Niu, a giant man with natural divine power, could not deal with Chen Ding.
Guan Shanyue said: "It's not just him, but it is said that he has been very close to Li Xuan from Fawang Temple in recent times."
"So that's it," Huo Yuanzhen laughed: "I said, it turns out that they colluded again, and they were all in a nest of snakes and rats, and they were delusional."
Guan Shanyue said: "Yes, this matter depends on what you mean by your abbot. If you want to deal with them, your disciples will go and catch all these people in one go. If you don't want to be troublesome, we can also call ourselves Buddhist sects, not participate in the struggles in the martial arts world, and just ignore them."
Huo Yuanzhen stood up and walked around the room and thought.
What Guan Shanyue said makes sense, but none of them were Huo Yuanzhen’s wishes.
I have a task. Shaolin must become the largest sect in the world and the leader of the martial arts world. Therefore, this Shaolin is very different from Shaolin in his previous life. It is not a pure Buddhist sect. Sooner or later, I must enter the world.
However, Shaolin's foundation is too weak now, and there is not even the internal and mental methods that the disciples can practice, and there is not even a decent external skill, and its force is low.
But what should come is always coming. Shaolin Temple must go to the world. Dengfeng Leap is actually an opportunity to train disciples.
And there is also the expert Shan Yue, who is at the bottom of the box, Huo Yuanzhen feels that his side cannot lose.
Even Huo Yuanzhen could see that Guan Shanyue was also a restless person in her bones, and most of the time he wanted to go there.
Looking at Guan Shanyue's anticipated gaze next to him, Huo Yuanzhen smiled and said, "I don't talk about right or wrong. If I don't participate in this arena, I'm afraid that many people, including you, will feel depressed."
"Hehe, the abbot's wise eyes, there is nothing in this world that can hide from you."
In front of Huo Yuanzhen, Guan Shanyue had no master's demeanor at all, was flattering and extremely thick-skinned.
"Well, there are twenty days left to meet these two jumping clowns, Fawang Temple, Humph, something that will die without being stiff."
In front of Guan Shanyue, Huo Yuanzhen did not have much image as a monk, and gradually showed his sharp minions.
