Zongwu: My Proficiency Panel

Chapter 125 Prejudice in the heart is a mountain

In Shaolin Temple, the night comes and the moon is born.

The bamboo shadows danced outside the window, Ning Xiu was tossing and turning on the bed, so he simply got up and opened the window, quietly watching the bright moon in the sky.

The breeze sees the moon, and the clouds and tides are silent.

Ning Xiu has always replaced sleep with meditation. If he is really sleepy, he will sleep soundly, and he has always slept soundly.

That night, he had rare insomnia because he thought of Zhao Chaoci.

Maybe what you can't get, you want more.

Women are not scary, what is scary is that not only is that woman beautiful and temperamental, she is also smart, powerful and resourceful, and even in order to refuse her temptations again and again, he will try his best.

He knew that she was enjoying the fun of hunting. This was a play she directed, and his refusal only aroused her stronger desire for possession.

Zhao Chaoci was able to do this because of his talent. Some people are naturally good at intrigue.

But no one likes a person with such a deep scheming heart, you can't even tell whether she is real or just pretending in front of you.

-

That night, Zhao Chaoci had no mood to sleep, so he went out to seek rest.

She saw that Ning Xiu's room was lit by candlelight, and she could see him writing something through the window, but Ning Xiu didn't notice anyone coming. He was always concentrating on his work, and because Zhao Chaoci's footsteps were light and silent.

"Mo Yan doesn't spare the beauty of flowers and branches, and never forgets to entrust the moonlight in the middle of the night. Are you writing about the moonlight tonight? It really fits the occasion."

Hearing it was Zhao Chaoci's voice, Ning Xiu started to write a little harder, and the paper was smudged with ink.

It seems that it will be rewritten again.

Ning Xiu sighed secretly, put down the brush, raised his head and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I can't sleep, so I came to see you."

By the moonlight and candlelight, Zhao Chaoci saw the neat handwriting, and sighed: "They all say that the calligraphy is like a person, and your calligraphy is quite strong, and it is not in vain to compare with those calligraphy masters." Bar!"

"Overrated."

"Ning Xiu, what else do you not know?" Zhao Chaoci looked at this man who made his heart flutter, his charm is so attractive that women all over the world cannot escape.

Ning Xiu thought for a long time, "Have a baby."

An old-fashioned stalk, but it didn't exist in ancient times.

"Pfft." Zhao Chaoci couldn't help laughing, "You have such a mouth!"

There was a silence after the laughter, the two looked at each other without speaking.

"Zhao Ning, do you know why I chose the name Chaoci?" Zhao Chaoci sat on the window sill and looked up at the moon regardless of his manners.

Ning Xiu shook his head.

"Chaoci, Chaoci, worshiping the heavenly family, kowtowing to thank the king. Wuqing is the emperor's family. Although I am a princess, I can't escape the life of my relatives."

Zhao Chaoci's eyes were full of complaints, and he was full of sorrow, "If I was not qualified, I'm afraid I would be sent to make peace with Mongolia or Liao at the age of fourteen or fifteen, just like Jiumei... Fortunately, I met You, give me another chance to choose."

There are many moments in life, but the present moment, the present moment, how to describe this moment.

Ning Xiu couldn't speak out, nor could he explain clearly, he just felt that in a certain short moment.

There are countless crowds of people walking away suddenly, and all kinds of hustle and bustle are suddenly annihilated.

Hearing a lot of people talking, seeing a lot of people's faces, but they can only become the background of the person in front of him.

In a trance, it seemed that only myself and the woman bathing in the moonlight were left, looking at each other speechlessly, with blurred expressions.

the strange thing is.

The other party's graceful figure, although it makes people unable to take their eyes off, it also makes him unable to feel the slightest bit of charm.

Just because those eyes, full of nostalgia and pain, seemed to be staring at him.Just because of that kind of desolation and glamor that is not stained with dust, it seems that the Nine Heavens Xuannv has moved the hearts of all.

"You are like a person."

Ning Xiu has seen many women, some of them are alluring, some are considerate, some are solemn and elegant, some are proud and smart, etc. They are needed to him, but not necessary.

Just like soda drinks, he likes it but is not indispensable. What he lacks most now is a person who can understand and fit in his soul, a woman who can fill the most hungry emptiness in his heart.

Knowing that Zhao Chaoci is probably using him, why is his heart pounding.

"Who does it look like?" Zhao Chaoci leaned against the window, his eyes seemed to be able to see everything, "I guess it's a woman, and the woman you can't ask for."

"..."

I have to admit that Zhao Chaoci knows Ning Xiu very well, even though they have only spent a short time together, she does understand his hesitancy to speak.

In a few words, Ning Xiu was completely dissected.

Taking a deep breath, Ning Xiu bowed his head to write.

"Am I ugly? Why don't you dare look at me?"

It seems that the conspiracy has succeeded, she looks more radiant when she smiles, and I don't know if she is in a happy mood. There seems to be a more vivid brilliance in her eyebrows and eyes than before, so beautiful that people can't turn their eyes away.

"Where did I miss you?" Ning Xiu raised his head, but the pen and ink in his hand didn't stop.

"It's perfunctory, do you think I'm older than you?" She asked half-heartedly, why Ningxiu was willing to be Kou Dan for her sister, but didn't dare to look at her.

Dislike her for being old?

"..."

Why do women always ask such inexplicable questions? Ning Xiu stopped writing, walked over to look at her face, and narrowed her eyes as if evaluating, "Well, as young as 16 years old."

But the word sixteen seems to be very sensitive to her, Zhao Chaoci spat lightly, "Dog man."

After all, she came down from the window and looked in a certain direction, her expression suddenly changed.

-

Shaolin Temple, inside the Taoist Temple.

A group of eminent monks of Xuanzi generation gathered here, chanting scriptures silently, the courtyard was solemn and solemn, and the voices of several people chanting scriptures were quite sad.

After a while, Xuan Ci's majestic voice came: "Junior Brother Xuan Ku, do you have anything else to say?"

But I heard Xuanku, who was surrounded in the middle, said: "The day my younger brother took the precept, my teacher named me Xuanku. The seven sufferings mentioned by the Buddha are birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment and hatred, love and separation, and not getting what I want. .

The younger brother tried his best to get rid of these seven hardships, but he could only overcome himself, not others, which is ashamed to say.The bitterness of this "meeting of resentment and hatred" is an inevitable situation in life, and it should have this kind of karmic reward due to its past causes.All the brothers and sisters should be happy for me when they see that I have repaid this karma. "

Brothers of the same sect were all sympathetic when they heard the words, Xuanku died in Huangquan a few months ago, today Xuanku was also severely injured by the thieves, and his life is not long, the eminent monks present are all brothers and sisters who have been together day and night for decades, they feel like brothers and sisters, and at this moment they are distraught.

Several people were about to ask if the devil was Gusu Murong, but they heard Master Xuanku say: "Brother Fangzhang, I don't want to let senior brother and all the senior brothers worry about me, so as to increase my karma. If that person If he can put down the butcher's knife, he will naturally turn his back on it. If he persists in his obsession, alas, he will suffer in vain. It doesn't need to be said what this person looks like."

The abbot Master Xuanci said: "Yes! My brother is very enlightened, as a brother is too persistent, he has fallen behind." Xuanku said: "My little brother wants to sit quietly for a while, meditate and repent." Xuanci said: "Yes, Junior brother, take care."

There was only a sound of the door being opened, and a tall and thin old monk walked out slowly first.He walked about Zhang Xu, followed by a file, a total of [-] monks.

The eighteen monks clasped their hands together, bowed their heads and meditated silently, with solemn expressions.

When the monks left, a man pushed the door open and came in. He was wearing a felt hat and had a very burly figure. He was in his thirties and was wearing a gray old cloth robe that was slightly tattered.

Thick eyebrows and big eyes, high nose and wide mouth, a square face with Chinese characters, quite weathered, looking forward, extremely powerful.

Knowing that his teacher was hurt, Qiao Feng was very anxious, so he hurriedly went to pay homage to him: "I usually don't have much service, so I need to worry about Master. Master is healthy and healthy, and my child is very happy." He raised his head and looked up at Xuan Ku.

Master Xuan Ku originally had a smile on his face, but when he saw Qiao Feng's face under the light of the oil lamp, his face suddenly changed drastically, he stood up, and said in a trembling voice: "You...you...so it is you, you are Qiao Feng , I... a good disciple I trained myself?"

But he saw horror, pain, and deep pity and regret on his face.

Seeing the sudden change in Master's expression, Qiao Feng was extremely surprised, and said, "Master, the child is Qiao Feng."

Master Xuan Ku said: "Good, good, good!" After saying three "good" words, he stopped talking.

Qiao Feng didn't dare to ask any more, and waited for his instruction, but after waiting for a long time, Master Xuan Ku remained silent, and when he went to look again, he found that Master Xuan Ku was no longer alive.

-

outside the hospital.

Abbot Xuanci and the others hadn't returned to their respective rooms, they saw Ning Xiu and Zhao Chaoci coming, and immediately asked: "How did the two benefactors get here late at night?"

Zhao Chaoci stepped forward and explained the reason, because he felt the sudden appearance of a master outside the temple, which aroused the induction of strange things on her body, so he came to investigate.

A few people chatted, it turned out that Master Xuanku was seriously injured by a thief, but there was no clue when they went to them, and asked about Master Xuanku, but he refused to say who it was, so he had to give up, and after stabilizing his injuries, he went to the hospital again. He sent a novice to boil a decoction.

Hearing this, Ning Xiu secretly said: This Xiao Yuanshan's kung fu is so powerful, Master Xuanku is a Buddhist monk who condenses the flower of spirit, and he can't even stand Xiao Yuanshan's tricks.I still don't know how powerful Qiao Feng's Dragon Subduing Palm is, can I catch it?
Just as he was thinking this way, a voice came from afar.

"Master Abbot, Master Xuanku has passed away, Master Xuanku has passed away."

These two voices were sent far away, and the sound of the valley was heard by everyone in the temple.Although the voice was powerful, it was extremely sad.

"How is this going?!"

Everyone was shocked and rushed back to the Taoist Temple.

There was no one else in the courtyard, only a tall man standing beside the courtyard gate, stretching out his sleeves to wipe his tears, all the monks felt strange.

Xuanci Heshi asked: "Who is the benefactor?" He was concerned about Xuanku's safety, he rushed into the room without waiting for Qiao Feng's answer, and was even more startled when he saw Xuanku standing still.

All the monks entered together, bowed their heads, and recited scriptures.

At this time, the lion-like man stepped forward to explain the reason again, admitting that his identity was Qiao Feng, the former leader of the Beggar Gang.

"Why did the benefactor break into our monastery at night? How could he see the death of Junior Brother Xuan Ku?"

It is said that Qiao Feng is really suffering. Since he was wronged by the gang and killed Deputy Gang Leader Ma, he went to Murong's house in Gusu to find nothing, and because the members of the beggar gang were poisoned by the "sorrowful breeze", he followed the gang all the way. The villain went to Dali, but before he arrived in Dali, the Mongolian kingdom attacked the Song Dynasty, and he was accused of many crimes by the elders of the beggar gang.

I had no choice but to go to Shaoshi Mountain first to visit my adoptive father and mentor, hoping to find out the truth, and then explain it clearly to the heroes of the world to clear myself of the crime.

How could he know that his adoptive parents and mentor died one after another, all of this was too strange and too coincidental, even if he had a clear conscience, who would believe him if he told it.

He could only say: "Master Xuan Ku is the disciple's mentor, but I don't know what kind of injury my mentor suffered, and who did it?"

Abbot Xuanci wept and said: "Junior Brother Xuanku was attacked by someone, he took a heavy hand on his chest, his ribs were broken, and his five internal organs were broken. Thanks to his deep internal strength, he has supported him until now. We asked him who the enemy is, He said that he didn't know each other, and asked the murderer to describe his age, but he said that the "resentment meeting" among the seven sufferings of Buddhism is one of them. explain."

Qiao Feng suddenly realized, but at this time the little novice who delivered the soup came to the scene, seeing Qiao Feng exclaimed: "It's you! You... are here again!"

With a clang, the medicine bowl fell to the ground, and the medicine juice on the porcelain pieces scattered in all directions.The little monk jumped back two steps, leaned against the wall, and said sharply: "It was him, he was the one who injured Master!"

Before everyone could understand what was going on, monks such as "monk-keeping monk" and "law-keeping monk" also came to the scene, angrily scolded: "The Khitan people are wolves with ambition, they really are like beasts!You actually killed your adoptive father and adoptive mother with your own hands, and also killed Master Xuan Ku, we only hate that it was too late to save each other.Qiao, you want to go to Shaoshi Mountain to play wild, but there is still a long way to go! "

Abbot Xuanci looked solemn, and said slowly: "Although the benefactor is no longer in the Beggar Clan, he is a well-known figure in the martial arts. Today, he came to our temple and shot and killed Junior Brother Xuanku. I don't know why he came here, but I hope to give advice."

All the monks knew that Qiao Feng was a master of martial arts and thought he was invincible, but now the crowd was furious and wished to send Qiao Feng to heaven on the spot, if the abbot didn't stop him, they would have fought with their lives.

Seeing Qiao Feng heaving a long sigh and bowing to Xuan Ku's body, Ning Xiu said loudly: "Qiao Feng, if you don't come out to explain now, when will you wait?"

He knew that Qiao Feng was going to leave, but he had already been charged with many wrongful charges, and if he left now, he would jump into the Yellow River and not be cleared.

It's just that although Qiao Feng is strong in martial arts, he doesn't study these things carefully, he is straightforward, so he doesn't listen to this.

"...The disciple violated Shaolin's dignity, master forgive me." Qiao Feng let out two long breaths.The two oil lamps in the hall went out with a sound, and it was completely dark.

When Qiao Feng said his prayers, he had already figured out a way to escape.As soon as he blew out the oil lamp, he swung his left hand on the monk's vest, this palm was full of feminine force, it didn't hurt his internal organs, but it knocked his fat body out of the hall.

In the dark, the group of monks heard the wind, they all said that Qiao Feng had gone out to escape, each of them resorted to capture techniques, and grabbed the monk keeping the law.

"Don't go!"

Seeing that Qiao Feng was going to leave, Ning Xiu felt helpless, his movement was faster than many monks and masters, and he stepped forward first, trying to catch Qiao Feng.

however--

At this moment, there was a loud dragon chant, accompanied by a strong wind blowing towards the face.

Roar! ! !

A string of dragon chants suddenly exploded in the air!
"Even the Heavenly King Lao Tzu has no right to give orders to me!"

Amidst the crazily reverberating of the huge sound waves, a wild and ferocious dragon-shaped energy erupted from Qiao Feng's right palm, and slammed into Ning Xiu fiercely. The power of heaven and earth in a radius of several feet around was aroused, causing ripples in the vibrating air.

Ning Xiu pierced the cloud and cracked the rock with his palm.

With a bang, the air burst into a thunderous roar, forming a vortex like a vortex.

The attacks of the two collided together, and an incomparably violent roar erupted.

The force of the vortex palm and the energy of the dragon exploded together, forming a ring-shaped shock wave that spread loudly.

The ground trembled violently, and some stones jumped up.

Ning Xiu kicked his feet, the Xiaoyao feather boots creaked, and the ground was trampled apart with a click.

And Qiao Feng's body shook in the air, he put down the monk who guarded the law, and with a stroke of luck, he ran towards the distance again.
