Across the heavens starting from the Buddhist King Kong

Chapter 58 Five Years (for further reading)

Mount Heng has stood on the land of China for more than thousands of years. This famous mountain has been climbed by countless people for thousands of years, and even built temples and temples, but Mount Heng is still Mount Heng.

For a person, five years can turn a baby in swaddle into a child who can run, jump, and speak well, a girl in her prime can become a woman with mature peaches, and it can also turn a man From youth to adulthood, the earth can go through five seasons of reincarnation.

In Zheng Gui's experience, five years passed in a trance.

It was the beginning of spring, but there was a sudden heavy snowfall in Tongyuan Valley. In an instant, the heavy snow covered the golden glazed tiles of Baozhu Temple.

At this time, it has been more than five years since the gate of Baozhu Temple was opened. Zheng Gui has also grown from a teenage novice monk to a 32-year-old, but already a respected Zen master with many disciples. .

In the past five years, Zheng Gui rarely went out of the temple, and he never went down the mountain. Apart from intensively studying martial arts and Buddhism, he taught his disciples. When he occasionally went out, he was invited by Master Dingxian to go to Wuse Nunnery or Baiyun nunnery discussion.

Since Zheng Gui moved from Jianxing Peak to Guolao Cave, Wuse Nunnery and Baiyun Nunnery have also been increasing disciples, which has led to Baiyun Nunnery's continuous expansion in recent years, and Wuse Nunnery has expanded again and again. As a result, the size of the two nunneries is no less than that of an ordinary temple, and there are more and more side halls and wing rooms.

Although Zheng Gui seldom made an appearance in recent years, he made many suggestions for the development of the Hengshan School, and he was aware of the strength of his disciples and the expanded strength of the Hengshan School. Turning defeat into victory is becoming more and more confident.

At this time, the strength of the Hengshan School is still Wuse Nunnery, Baiyun Nunnery, and Baozhu Temple, with a total of less than 400 disciples. People, Zheng Gui and Yi Guang should also be at the bottom of the table these two years.

The lower courts and Tongxiu'an temples are regarded as peripheral forces, and there are two to three hundred people, but most of the disciples are not strong individually. Fortunately, the Hengshan faction has a "seven-man sword formation" group battle weapon.

So if you really gather all the disciples together, you can gather more than 500 people, and if you form a large formation, you can explode the strength of sixty or seventy first-class masters. Compared with Shaolin, it may be quite inferior, but compared with Wudang, Beggars and Songshan , the strength of the Hengshan faction is not much worse.

Because Master Dingxian and Zheng Gui were both worried that the Hengshan School would develop too fast and easily attract the attention of the Songshan School, so in addition to accepting disciples, the secular business of the Hengshan School's subordinates has not advanced but retreated in the past five years, except for the tea and salt business and Medicine stores, many warehouses, and banks have all ceased their business.

Although the filial piety of the peripheral secular forces has decreased by [-]% to [-]% compared to previous years, but relying on the offerings and incense money from pilgrims and believers, the hundreds of years of bhikkhunis and bhikkhu monks of the Hengshan School with two nunneries and one temple can live in peace.

In the past five years, what worried the Orthodox sects and Master Dingxian the most did not happen.

After Dongfang Bubai became the sect leader, he behaved quite peacefully. Apart from eliminating dissidents, he continued to depose and promote the elders in the sect, banner leaders and altar masters in various places, and there were no actions involving the orthodox church.

In recent years, although the Demon Cult has not aggressively provoked the Orthodox Church, there are rumors that Dongfang Bubai often retreats to practice a powerful magic art. As long as he achieves great magic skills, it will be the time when the good and the evil will fight.

In order to make achievements and win the favor of Dongfang Bubai, the altar masters and banner masters of the Demon Cult's provinces are all expanding rapidly, recruiting many second- and third-rate gang sects, and searching for a large number of rare treasures.

The Orthodox sects soon noticed the actions of the Demon Cult in various provinces. Naturally, they did not want the Demon Cult to become stronger. Suppress second- and third-rate gangs, remind and monitor them.

It can be said that in the past five years, the rivers and lakes seemed to be peaceful, but many second-rate and third-rate forces in the rivers and lakes have become victims of the struggle between the demon sect and the orthodox sects.

In the past five years, Yiguang has practiced the Hengshan School's internal strength and swordsmanship very superbly. The two brothers Ning Zhengduan and Ning Zhengli have also achieved great success. Go down the mountain.

Last year, I went to Tongguan to open a mighty bodyguard bureau, and became the first disciples among the lay disciples of Baozhu Temple of the Hengshan School to become masters, and the first batch of disciples to start the sect industry.

Zheng Gui was always relieved to see that many lay disciples became more and more solid in martial arts, and their bodies became stronger and taller. He estimated that in another three years, most of the lay disciples would be able to leave the mountain.

At that time, they will either open an escort agency to do business, or join the medicine store, tea store, salt merchant, etc. under the Hengshan faction to be shopkeepers and lead the team. It can also be doubled.

The Hengshan faction's power will gradually take shape, and when it is added up, the Hengshan faction will definitely make Zuo Lengchan afraid and dare not take action easily.

……

Over the past five years, Baozhu Temple has successively accepted more than ten young monks, and more than ten lay disciples have also been added. Although a group of disciples have gone down the mountain, the number of people in the temple has not decreased, but most of the monks and disciples are teenagers. and youth.

Zheng Gui was sitting in front of the abbot's room, watching Yiguang instructing Yizi generation disciples' martial arts and swordsmanship, and calculating the current strength of the Hengshan School, when he suddenly saw an eleven or twelve-year-old nun holding a messy haired The squirrel hopped over from the front hall, couldn't help showing a smile, and said, "Yilin, are you here?"

This little nun's big eyes are black and white, shining like precious stones, and her thin body is covered by a wide monk's robe, revealing small hands and smooth white face, although Yilin is still young at this time, she is already very mature Beautiful, it can be seen that when she grows up, she will be a great beauty who will bring disaster to the country and the people.

Yilin is a disciple of Master Dingyi who treats her as her own, because she is good-looking, well-behaved and sensible, what is even more rare is that she has extraordinary aptitude and understanding, and has been deeply loved by Master Dingxian and Master Dingjing for many years. Zheng Gui seldom went out, but every time he went to Baiyun Nunnery, he always brought some fruit and caramel to Yilin, so Yilin was very close to Zheng Gui.

Yilin bowed respectfully and said: "Uncle Qualitative, Senior Brother Yiguang, Senior Brother Yiming, Senior Brother Yizheng, Senior Brother Yi, Senior Brother Yifa..."

When Yilin mentioned dozens of names in a row, her little face was already flushed, Zheng Gui, Yiguang and other monks couldn't help smiling when they saw it, and Yiguang even smiled and said: "Little junior sister is always so polite, you are If you don't say hello to me, which one of us dares to be angry with you?"

Yilin has been to Baozhu Temple several times. On weekdays, Yiguang and others have met each other many times when they went to the two temples. They are already familiar with Yiguang and others. Hearing this, she giggled and said: "My master said, don't follow the rules. If you want to be punished, you are brothers, I dare not be rude."

The monks burst into laughter, it seemed that even the ice and snow were no longer cold.
