The Heavens: Invincible from the Eagle Shooting

Chapter 73
It's the day, at the foot of Mount Shaoshi.

At this time, when the sun is rising, the light is shining like a fire, and the whole world is full of splendor. Shaoshi Mountain seems to be a "submerged" isolated island.

On the mountain road of Shaoshi Mountain, two golden lights cover the body, meandering upwards, as if bathed in light.The riders on this horse are naturally Gu Chaoci and Mu Nianci.

Along the way, the two saw that Shaoshi Mountain was majestic and precipitous, steep and upright, surrounded by undulating peaks, surrounded by banners and arrayed like swords and halberds, it was quite spectacular.Although the mountain is steep, the mountain road is eight miles long and has very wide stone steps. The scale of this project is magnificent. It was built by Tang Gaozong Li Zhi when he was visiting Shaolin.

At that time, Dajin occupied Henan, and it has been a hundred years. Many Taoist temples in the world have been destroyed by wars. Disaster, only said to be intact.

After a while, the two arrived in front of a stone pavilion.

Gu Chaoci knew that this place should be the place where people from Shaolin Temple meet with those who are inconvenient to enter Shaolin Temple.Thinking about it, he tied the horse here.

The two of them climbed up the steps again, but they saw five waterfalls splashing pearls and jade on the opposite mountain, rushing down, it was really spectacular, this is the five breast bees of Shaoshi Mountain, already they can see Shaolin Temple.

You can see the land surrounded by peaks, the temples are connected horizontally, and the buildings are magnificent. Whoever has seen it, let alone the grandeur of the Zen ancestral courtyard, there are few Buddhist temples in the world that can match it.

The two looked at the continuous houses, lost their minds for a while, and in the midst of admiration, they walked up the hill slowly until they walked outside the gate of the temple, but there was no one on the way, the two felt strange.

When I came to the gate of the temple, I saw yellow walls and green tiles, dense trees. In front of the gate of the temple stood a stone tablet written by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, which contained thirteen eminent monks in Shaolin, who helped him besiege Wang Shichong of Luoyang and captured his son Wang Renze. achievements.

It's just that the age is long, the wind and rain have peeled off, and most of the vigorous and flying handwriting on the stele have been blurred.

There are several young monks sweeping the floor outside the temple gate, sweeping from time to time, and there are bursts of melodious Sanskrit singing in the temple.

Gu Chaoci knew that coming here today would definitely offend people, so he didn't play tricks, so he said directly, "Gu Chaoci is a martial arts student who has admired the reputation of Shaolin for a long time. Today, he and his wife come here to pay homage to the mountain!"

His voice was not very loud, but his voice was deep and powerful, like the waves of the sea, sent far away, the mountains echoed, the wind moved and the clouds merged, even the bronze bells and drums hanging outside the temple gate were affected by his voice. Surging, but also buzzing at the same time.

The Sanskrit shouts in the temple also came to an abrupt end.

Several sweeping novice monks saw a young man and woman coming, and wanted to ask them what they were doing, but before they could ask, they listened to what this person said.

Although they are young, they also know that the so-called mountain worshipers are basically here to pick the door.

And as soon as the other party spoke, the copper bell began to buzz. Even if they lay down in front of the copper bell and yelled, there was nothing they could do.From this we can see how powerful the coming person is.

As soon as he changed his mind, he remembered the name "Gu Chaoci", and immediately took a seat, and suddenly his face changed in horror. Some people had stronger concentration and rushed into the temple to report.

Little do they know they are superfluous.As soon as Gu Chaoci's voice came out, not to mention the Shaolin Temple, even half of Shaoshi Mountain was buzzing.It can be heard everywhere in the front and back yards of Shaolin Temple.

At this time, Master Xintong, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, was discussing with several juniors that the "tough scholar" appeared in Luoyang and killed hundreds of people.Suddenly outside the temple, the voice of Gu Chao's speech was heard from afar, and several people looked at each other, thinking: "This hard-handed scholar's skill is supernatural, it really is unfathomable!"

Of course, among those who had fought against Gu Chaoci, the three heads Xincheng, Xinyuan, and Xinguan were astonished, each of them shuddered: "His internal strength has actually improved!"

At this time, the abbot Xintong clasped his palms together, chanted "Amitabha", stood up slowly, and said softly: "Masters and brothers, this person's level of internal strength is unmatched by anyone in this temple, and his martial arts attainments must be extraordinary. I Waiting unscrupulously makes this temple weak and deceitful!

Now that things are coming to an end, you can't avoid them!
Junior brothers, let's go and see what kind of demeanor the tough-handed scholar is! "

"Brother Fang Zhang said it is true, please!"

All the monks stood up and walked out of the main hall together with Xintong, heading for the gate of the temple.

After Gu Chaoci finished speaking, he and Mu Nianci stood in front of Shaolin Temple, waiting patiently.

After a while, more than a dozen giant bells in the temple were heard ringing together, and the sound of "dang dang" only shook the mountains.Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps, each footstep was brisk.

Suddenly the gate of the temple squeaked, the left and right holes opened, and two rows of monks in gray robes came out. There were 54 people on the left and 54 people on the right, a total of [-] people, a total of [-] arhats. number.

Eighteen monks followed, gray robes and light yellow cassocks, all older than the Arhat monks.

Then Abbot Xintong walked out slowly in a red cassock, followed by a dozen or so old monks in golden cassocks, all of whom looked to be in their 60s or [-]s. Among them are the elders and eminent monks, including Xinyuan, Xinguan and Xincheng.

After a while, two old monks wearing large checkered robes came out.Both of them have wrinkled faces and fluttering white beards. They look about eighty years old. They are the eminent monks of Shaolin's bitter generation.Finally, he walked out again, with hundreds of Shaolin lay disciples lined up on both sides.

Gu Chaoci didn't care about the others either. Seeing this group of old monks, watching their walking postures, they were calm and composed. They were all people with profound martial arts skills.They are all first-class masters in the arena.I thought: "Shaolin Temple is in decline now, and it is only because there are no top masters in charge that it is overshadowed by the five masters. But after all, it has been passed down for a long time, and there are many types of martial arts, with profound foundations, which are far from comparable to other schools. If you don't have a good discussion with them, Not a hero either!"

Since he had this thought in his heart, he was a little surprised when he saw the situation in Shaolin Temple, but he took it calmly.

Gu Chaoci originally planned to ask Mu Nianci to wait at the foot of the mountain, but then he thought, he just killed so many people in Henan, and at this moment, no one is safe around him.No matter how courageous Shaolin Temple is, it will never dare to do anything to Mu Nianci again.

Because of Xincheng's heart and mind, how could he not tell the abbot about Mu Nianci's identity?And that day when Hong Qigong rescued someone, even though they hadn't met each other, they definitely had suspicions about that person in their hearts.Besides, if they really have such shameless thoughts, then he has a way to deal with them.

As soon as Xintong and the monks left the temple, they were also looking at the two of them.

Seeing that Gu Chaoci was dressed in white and looked graceful, and Mu Nianci was dressed in emerald green with a sword hanging from his waist, youthful, beautiful and heroic.Xincheng, the head of the Arhat Hall, whispered a few words in the ear of the abbot again, saying that this woman is Mu Nianci, who once learned the skills of the nine-fingered beggar.

As for the fact that Gu Chao resigned from them and formally joined Hong Qigong's sect, not many people in Jianghu knew about it.Even the dog-beating stick, Gu Chaoci has been wrapped in a cloth bag, so that it does not appear in front of others.No matter how well-informed Shaolin information is, now I don't know the clue.

Xintong nodded slightly when he heard the words, knowing it in his heart.

All the eminent monks were well-informed people, but from the way they stood, they could tell that Mu Nianci was just of extraordinary status and his martial arts were average, but when they saw Gu Chaoci, they couldn't help but glance at each other, each in shock.

From the voice of the other party, they could hear that Gu Chaoci's internal strength was extremely deep, but when they came out to see this man, apart from being handsome, he looked so ordinary, especially his eyes were not shining, but there was a layer of warmth and crystal clear Feeling, when the sun shines, it can be said to be brilliant.

All the eminent monks in Shaolin naturally knew that their inner strength had already reached an extremely high level, so their demeanor and vision were hidden everywhere.It has come to the wonderful state of turning from reality to emptiness, from truth to simplicity.

It's amazing to reach such a high level at such a young age, this level of cultivation.

This monastery has established a sect for hundreds of years, and there have not been many such figures!

All the monks admired him very much, and secretly praised him: "The abbot really has the foresight!"

That day Gu Chaoci was in the north of Zhejiang Province, and he defeated the three major Shaolin masters and the three minor arhat formations. This kind of martial arts has already shocked the abbot and all the eminent monks.

Shaolin disciples are prosperous and spread all over the rivers and lakes. Although the closure of the temple for many years will bring disaster to everyone, but everyone knows everything big and small in the rivers and lakes.They are all clear about what a tough scholar, who is pregnant with the Nine Yin Scriptures and the Yijin Scriptures, and the rivers and lakes that have been killed for this, are bloody and bloody.

It was even more heard yesterday that Gu Chaoci went on a killing spree in the "Jietian Valley" outside Luoyang City, killing more than two hundred people at a time.

They are also members of their own family who know their own affairs, and they know that Gu Chaoci is famous and cruel, and it is not difficult to see from various deeds that he is a person who must take revenge.Since this kind of person has come to Luoyang, how can he not come to Shaolin?

It's just that Shaolin Temple's prestige is already very loud, since the establishment of the sect, it has long been common for people to come to the temple to make troubles and gain fame.Therefore, in terms of face, even the daily homework of the monks did not stop.But Abbot Xintong thought that the "hard-handed scholar" would definitely come in a bad way, so the monastery stepped up precautions and handed down a decree that all monks and lay disciples within five hundred miles would go back to the monastery to listen to the instructions.

Now, after hearing Gu Chaoci's sound transmission to worship the mountain, I know that Shaolin Temple is facing a critical juncture of honor and disgrace today, but I estimate that my martial arts are similar to those of Xincheng, Xinyuan, and Xinguan, so I may not be much better than the three of them. If the number of people swarms up, after Shaolin, there is no need to gain a foothold in the martial arts.

That's why I had to invite two eminent monks of the "bitter" generation who had been cultivating for a long time to come out to march.

It's just that whether these two elders can control the "hard-handed scholar", the abbot and the other eminent monks are not very sure.After all, they don't know how far the martial arts of these two elders have reached.

But seeing Gu Chaoci in person at this time, I feel even more uncertain. I know that no matter how good my uncle's martial arts are, he is definitely not Gu Chaoci's opponent.

Abbot Xintong stopped at a distance of three zhang from Gu and Mu. As soon as he thought about it, he clasped his hands together and proclaimed the Buddha's name: "The old monk Xintong is in charge of the Shaolin sect. I have heard for a long time that Layman Gu's martial arts are outstanding in this world. It's a pity that he is so lucky. .I never thought that I would come from a long distance today, and I will welcome you if I am lost. Forgive me, forgive me.”

Gu Chaoci cupped his hands and said with a smile: "The abbot is absurd!

What's the point in the next point of thin name!It is a sin to disturb the master's Qingxiu today with his wife.It also alarmed all the eminent monks and came out of the temple to welcome them. How could they bear it? "

Seeing that he spoke politely, Xin Tong was startled: "This man is so famous and so humble, I'm afraid the person behind him is a big one!" He was worried in his heart, but kept his expression on his face, and said as if: "Layman It's too polite, please come to the temple to serve tea!" Said, he stepped aside and stretched out his hand sideways to silence the guests.

Before Gu Chaoci made a statement, he heard an old monk behind Xintong shout: "Wait a minute."

All the monks followed the sound and saw that it was the one who had been cultivating for a long time.

Kuxiang took two steps forward, raised his white eyebrows, and said coldly: "Our temple has been established for eight hundred years, and no women have entered the temple. Although the two of you are guests from afar, please forgive me for not accepting female guests, so as not to spoil it. The name of our temple is clear."

When he said this, not to mention Gu Chaoci and Mu Nianci were unhappy, even several eminent monks of the Xinzi generation felt a little headache, what is the master uncle going to do?
Whether females can enter the temple or not, we have always divided people, don't you know this?
In fact, Gu Chaoci never thought that if he entered Shaolin Temple alone, he would be treated the same inside and outside the temple.But with Mu Nianci, if Shaolin Temple is really shameless and the whole temple comes together, it will not be easy to come and go freely.

But whether he can get in is one thing, and whether he can let him in is another matter.

When Gu Chaoci saw this man, he almost said that he would refuse Mu Nianci to enter the temple. Suddenly, he became mad and squinted at him. The internal strength is not weak, and the face is full of ditches. If it catches up with the rainy season, a lot of water will be stored.

Youyou said: "There is one thing that I have not yet clarified, whether this Shaolin abbot is Master Xintong, or you, an unknown master!"

Kuxiang said without hesitation: "Old monk Kuxiang, the abbot of this temple is of course nephew Xintong."

Seeing that his face was true to his name, Gu Chaoci laughed and said: "So, Master Kuxiang is the abbot of your monastery. It's really disrespectful." He cupped his hands as he said.

His words were very vicious, he knew the bitterness immediately, his wrinkled yellow face was flushed like blood in an instant, these words were ridiculing him for speaking without permission, refuting the abbot's decree, his status surpassed the abbot's.

The rules of Shaolin Temple are very strict, the abbot always promises what he says, no matter how senior you are or how powerful you are in martial arts, you have to bow your head and obey orders.

Hundreds of years ago, there was a sweeping divine monk in this temple. He was so mighty and invincible in the world.

Kuxiang knew his own integrity, even though he was extraordinary in martial arts, he was trembling with anger for a while, but in front of everyone, he was indeed rude to Fang Zhang, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Abbot Xintong can occupy the position of abbot. He is very ordinary. Hearing Gu Chaoci's words, he just folded his palms together and smiled indifferently: "Amitabha, Lay Gu has not been on the road for a long time, and some things seem to be unclear. Uncle Kuxiang is the elder of the temple. , the scriptures have been widely read, even though the poor monk is in charge of the sect, he often asks his uncle for many things."

Hearing the words, Misery's expression eased, and he silently backed away without saying a word.

But Gu Chaoci secretly admired it. This understanding not only gave face to the elder of the temple, but also vaguely said that he was young and ignorant, which hurt himself.

Gu Chao resigned here to deliberately challenge Shaolin's prestige. Although there are some unresolved problems, most of them are due to his heart. He was young and successful, so he naturally wanted to establish an invincible prestige. Stepping on Shaolin was only the first step.

But when you see heartache, you always smile at each other. The city is very deep, and it is much more difficult to fight than those who have a bad temper.

After all, if Shaolin wants to pick today, it still has to take advantage of the reason. It is meaningless to directly make trouble for no reason.

He wasn't so arrogant that he could kill 1000 people in Shaolin Temple by himself.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help laughing: "It's really an anecdote in the world that your temple doesn't welcome female guests. I think that Wu Zetian first accompanied Tang Gaozong, and after becoming emperor, he was enshrined in Songshan. She was rejected from the temple?

Could it be that your monastery is also like ordinary people, treating people according to their status? "

In fact, Gu Chaoci was talking nonsense, how could he know that Wu Zetian had never been to Shaolin Temple.But Li Zhi must have been here, and Wu Zetian also came to Songshan to enshrine Zen, these two things are very certain.

Moreover, this happened a long time ago, 700 years have passed, whether there are Shaolin monks, who can truly see all the experiences of this temple.

But Kuping and other people saw what he said with certainty, and knew that their own mountain road was indeed excavated when Tang Gaozong came. Maybe this happened, but I don't know, and it was a bit embarrassing at the moment.

Xintong said with a smile: "The old monk admires the layman's knowledge of the past and the present. My Buddha is merciful, all dharmas are equal, and all living beings are the same. Men and women are treated equally. The previous generation of this temple did have this rule, but it was just to avoid gossip. The two belong to the martial arts. There is no need to stick to this example.”

Gu Chaoci laughed and said: "Master Abbot, you are really kind. I have three small things to do when I come to Baocha.

I didn't want to enter the treasure temple at first, but I just couldn't get used to your patriarchal rules and regulations, so I said some gossip. "

Xintong smiled and said, "Thank you layman for your guidance. This temple is so forceful that men and women are so stingy. I don't know which three small things, I hope the layman will show you!"

Gu Chaoci stared at him, nodded and said solemnly: "First, more than two months ago, the three monks of your monastery, Wuxiang, Painless, and Wuan, had a conflict with this subordinate. I gave way again and again, and they Aggressive, swarming, and siege, they are well-known teachers, I am not angry about these.

But I am merciful, this painless monk used the insidious trick of sticking a dart against me, plotting against me!

According to my temperament, I should have dealt with him on the spot, but I have heard that Shaolin is the source of martial arts in the world, so I gave your temple a face and let him go.

But I once said, I want to kiss Shaolin and fight back! "

As he spoke, his eyes sharpened, and the cold light shot towards the monk on the right, it was the monk Wu Pain, who said coldly: "Wu Pain, you stand up!"

Everyone saw him domineering, like the abbot of Shaolin, his painless lips trembled, his fists were clenched, and he didn't have time to answer.

The bitter listener Gu Chaoci's words turned out to be the fault of the disciples of our sect, and he couldn't help but explode, and said angrily: "Gu Chaoci, you are making it clear that you are confounding right and wrong, bullying the weak, and using skills to overwhelm others .In vain you have such a great reputation, but what you did is the same as that rascal!"

Gu Chaoci was impatient, he chuckled and said, "Old bald donkey, if you don't accept it, you will end up teaching me!"

As a monk of the bitter generation, Kuxiang is the most senior person in Shaolin Temple, and the abbot Xintong also respects him very much. When he saw Gu Chaoci's words were rude and challenged him, he also relied on his position and did not wait for the abbot to speak. He snorted coldly: "I have learned!".

As he spoke, he waved his arms, the monk's robe trembled, and with force on his toes, his body was shot out. He raised his right palm, raised his energy, and slapped Gu Chaoci in the air.
