The heavens start with Buddhist disciples

Chapter 6 Encounter in the East China Sea
Zhang Jianzhai shook his head and said with a smile: "Since you are so handsome, if you get lovesick in the future, don't forget to come see me."

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "That is absolutely unnecessary."

Zhang Jianzhai said with a smile: "Unfortunately, if a girl from that family got lovesickness because of Xiang Shuai, I'm afraid I won't be able to cure it. If it is said that Xiang Shuai got lovesickness because of another girl, no one in the world will believe it."

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said nothing because he found Shi Xiuyun staring at him blankly.

Zhang Jianzhai helped Zuo Mingzhu and the other four people up, and said with a smile: "In addition to feeling your infatuation, I agreed to help you this time. I really feel that your plan is not only novel and interesting, but also truly seamless."

"It's a pity that you didn't wait until Xiang Shuai came to implement it. Are you asking for trouble?"

Zuo Mingzhu blushed and was speechless.

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "I know the reason."

Zhang Jianzhai said: "Oh?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "They just want to wait for me to come so that I can teach me to be their lobbyist, because since I saw this with my own eyes, I can't ignore it. Everyone knows that I am the best person to keep trouble."

He smiled again and said: "He also knows that if I become a lobbyist, Xue Daxia and Shi Juren will have to believe in this matter, because..."

Zhang Jianzhai laughed and said, "Because everyone in the world knows that Xiangshuai always sticks to his word. As long as it is said by Chu Xiangshuai, it will definitely not be false."

He turned to Zuo Mingzhu again and said, "Your wishful thinking was pretty good, but it's a pity that you still forgot something."

Zuo Mingzhu lowered her head and said, "Senior, give me advice."

Zhang Jianzhai said: "You guys have forgotten that Chu Xiangshuai can't fool anyone. Now that the secret has been exposed by him, do you still want him to be your lobbyist?"

Zuo Mingzhu and the other four people prostrated themselves together and said, "I beg Xiangshuai to grant me your blessing. I will be very grateful to you."

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "Why do you need to beg me? I have said before that I am the most nosy person, and I never like to disturb the scenery. If I can see lovers getting married, it doesn't matter what I do."

Zhang Jianzhai said: "Chu Xiangshuai is indeed worthy of being called Chu Xiangshuai. In fact, I have already remembered that Xiangshuai revealed this secret, but he just didn't want others to regard you as a fool."

He turned to Zuo Mingzhu and the others, and continued: "Now you should also learn a lesson, that is, no matter what you ask Xiangshuai to do in the future, you'd better explain it to him first. You will find that you were the one who was deceived.”

"So, only by treating people with sincerity can you get sincerity! Miss Zuo, you still remember what the young monk said to you three days ago on the sickbed. Some things may be better if you are more direct."

Ji Ran looked at the four of them and said calmly: "Instead of such a big battle, it is better to wait for Xiangshuai to come here, and let Divine Doctor Zhang take the lead to solve this matter together like now. I think in that case, Xiangshuai will not refuse to be a Lobbyist.”

The four of them lowered their heads in shame. It was obvious that Ji Ran was similar in age to them, but the feeling of oppression was really strong.

"Fortunately, the results are not bad now. It's just a pity that I don't know if I can still eat Zuo Erye's seabass stew." Ji Ran said to ease the atmosphere.

"Sooner or later, you, a fair-weather monk, will be taken away by the Buddha!" ​​At this time, a loud voice shouted at the door.Who is it if it’s not Hu Tiehua?

"Amitabha. Please don't taint someone's innocence. The young monk only eats meat and doesn't drink alcohol!" Ji Ran also laughed when she saw the person coming.

Here Chu Liuxiang is still explaining to Hu Tiehua what happened here.

How did Zuo Mingzhu bribe the doctor so that she could pretend to be Shi Yin and then marry Xue Bin legitimately, and how Shi Yin cleverly pretended to be Zuo Mingzhu so that she could marry Shi Shenglan.

Then Ji Ran asked Hu Tiehua: "Xiao Hu, how did you find this place?"

Hu Tiehua didn't answer but gave Ji Ran a blank look, then looked at Chu Liuxiang with a smile and said, "Old bug, you really have two hands... How did you trick that girl into obediently leaving? You must have this way." teach me!"

He turned to look at Ji Ran and said, "You are not a flower monk. Don't ask about things between men and women!"

Chu Liuxiang looked at the two people playing around, feeling full of bitterness but unable to spit it out, and said, "Why should I teach you? Girls will run away faster than a horse as soon as they see you."

Although he was deliberately angry with Hu Tiehua, he also knew that Hu Tiehua would never be angry, let alone feel uncomfortable. No matter who wanted Hu Tiehua to feel uncomfortable, it would be very difficult.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Hu Tiehua immediately burst into tears and couldn't laugh anymore. She stood there in a daze for a long time, and then she even slapped herself on the ear.

He said loudly: "Yes, what you said is absolutely correct. I am a drunkard, a pauper, dirty, and ugly. It would be strange if a girl didn't run away when she saw me."

Ji Ran and Chu Liuxiang were also stunned.

They know that Hu Tiehua is not a person who likes to joke, but since she met Hu Tiehua, Hu Tiehua has always been happy and proud.How could he become like this now?
Is there something wrong with him?I saw that Hu Tiehua's eyes were so red that she was about to shed tears.

Ji Ran couldn't help but laugh and said: "Who would say you are ugly? That person's eyes must be blind. Look at your nose, eyebrows, and eyes...especially your eyes. You can't find them among 1 men." Come out with one.”

Hu Tiehua couldn't help but raise her hand and touch her eyes. She seemed to feel a little happier, but suddenly she shook her head and covered her face: "Even if I have good eyes, I'm just a pauper."

Chu Liuxiang said: "A manly man, it doesn't matter if you are poor, as long as you are poor to the bone... Not all girls in the world are greedy for money."

Hu Tiehua involuntarily puffed up her chest, but suddenly shrank it down again, shaking her head and saying, "It's a pity that I'm an alcoholic again."

Ji Ran couldn't help laughing and said: "What's wrong with drinking? Only those who drink are masculine. There are famous heroes, generals, and poets in ancient times who don't drink. When a girl sees your heroic spirit of drinking, her heart will be broken." It fell into your glass."

But Hu Tiehua still shook her head and said: "These words are useless, girls will still run away when they see me. Besides, you are a little monk who doesn't drink. How do you know so many wonderful things about drinking? Are you really a meat-and-wine monk?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "Which girl would run away when seeing you? It's too late for them to chase you. ... Don't you remember Gao Yanan, the 'Qingfeng Female Swordsman' of the Huashan Sect, who has been chasing you for two or three years just to marry you? ."

This is true.That summer, when they were drinking on Lake Mochou, Hu Tiehua got drunk, and she agreed to marry Gao Yanan in a daze.

But he forgot about it the next day, but Ya Nan did not forget it. He forced him to ask for her, and said that if he defaulted on the bill, she would have no shame in living.She is about to commit suicide.

This immediately frightened Hu Tiehua and she ran away. Gao Yanan chased after her. According to Hu Tiehua herself, she actually chased

Two or three years.This was Hu Tiehua's pride. Chu Liuxiang thought that she could make Hu Tiehua happier. Unexpectedly, when Hu Tiehua heard the name "Gao Yanan", her face immediately became like a hanged ghost.

Chu Liuxiang was surprised and asked tentatively: "Could it be that you saw Gao Yanan again?"

Hu Tiehua said: "Yes."

Chu Liuxiang said in surprise, "Is she still ignoring you?"

Hu Tiehua said: "She...she just ignored me, as if she didn't recognize me."

He said this more like a child who had just been wronged.

Chu Liuxiang was even more surprised. She pulled him to sit down and said, "What on earth is going on? Please tell me quickly."

Hu Tiehua said: "One day I got two cans of good wine and went to find Kuaiwang Zhang San, because his grilled fish is the most delicious. I remember you also like to eat it."

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "It's true that the fish he grills is not fishy and old, but also has the fresh taste of fish."

"Who is this Kuaiwang Zhang San?" Ji Ran interjected and asked.

"A friend whose grilled fish is particularly delicious will take you with me next time." Chu Liuxiang replied.

Hu Tiehua continued: "He and I were sitting on the bow of the boat grilling fish and eating wine. Suddenly, a boat passed by us very quickly. There were three people on the boat, and one of them looked familiar to me."

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "Gao Yanan?"

Hu Tiehua nodded and said: "I was also shocked at that time, so I chased her and wanted to say hello. Unexpectedly, she ignored me at all. I waved to her desperately, but she didn't seem to see her."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Maybe... maybe she really didn't see you."

Hu Tiehua said: "Who said that? She sat at the window and stared at me for a long time, but it was like staring at a piece of wood. I chased her all the way down, and she sat at the window all the way, but just ignored me."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Why don't you just jump on her boat? Go and find out."

Hu Tiehua said with a bitter face: "I dare not."

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "You dare not? Why? At most, she can only kick you off the boat."

Hu Tiehua sighed: "Because her master, the old nun from Huashan, is also on the boat. I'm really a little scared... I'm not afraid of anything else but her face."

Ji Ran said: "The current head of the Huashan Sword Sect, 'Master Kumei', is solemn and solemn. It is said that she has not smiled for thirty years. No matter who sees her in the world, everyone in the world will inevitably be a little scared."

Chu Liuxiang said with emotion: "Master Kumei has not been in the world of mortals for more than twenty years. Is he coming down the mountain this time?"

He suddenly felt that this good thing was very interesting. Master Kumei would never come down the mountain unless something very important happened. Now that she had come down from Mount Hua, something big was going to happen.

Chu Liuxiang suddenly slapped Hu Tiehua on the shoulder hard and said, "Don't feel bad. When I finish my work here, I will go with you to find her and ask her why she ignored you?"

The corner of Hu Tiehua's mouth moved and he suddenly said: "You will definitely be surprised when you see Master Kumei."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Why?"

Hu Tiehua said: "Because he has returned to secular life."

Chu Liuxiang shouted: "Master Kumei will return to secular life, you must have seen a ghost."

Master Kumei has been a monk for more than [-] years and has cultivated profound and strict disciplines. It is said that she will also return to secular life.It is even more surprising than saying that Chu Liuxiang became a monk. "

Hu Tiehua smiled bitterly and said: "I know no matter who I tell this to, no one will believe it, but she has indeed returned to secular life."

Chu Liuxiang said: "I'm afraid you have seen the wrong person."

Hu Tiehua said: "No one will forget Master Kumei's appearance after just one glance, let alone me?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "But..."

Hu Tiehua said: "When I saw her, she was wearing a floral robe with purple satin and flowers. She was holding a dragon-headed staff in her hand. She had gray hair on her head. She looked like a royal lady with descendants. .”

Chu Liuxiang was speechless.

It is surprising that Master Kumei actually went down to Mount Huashan. It is even more unbelievable that she will return to secular life. This must involve another strange and major event.

Chu Liuxiang's interest became more and more intense. He suddenly jumped up and ran out, saying: "Wait for me here. I will definitely come back to accompany you around noon."

A big event has indeed happened in the world. No matter who wants to interfere with this trouble, it is inevitable that they will be killed. If Chu Liuxiang is a smart person, he should run away.It's a pity that smart people sometimes do stupid things.

Among the seven major sword sects in the martial arts world, only the leader of Huashan is a woman. Ever since Xu Shuzhen of "Nanyang" took over Huashan, the sect has been controlled by women.

Since then, although the talents of the Huashan sect have gradually withered, there is absolutely no scum, because these female leaders have strictly adhered to Xu Shuzhen's legacy, and are very strict in selecting disciples, and would rather lack than abuse.

At its peak, the Huashan Sect had more than [-] disciples, but when it came to Master Yin Yu, there were only seven disciples. Master Yin Yu's strictness in selecting his disciples has been known to the world ever since.

Master Kumei is the disciple of Master Yinyu. There are rumors in the world that when she was a girl, Master Kumei knelt in the cold wind and snow on the top of Huashan Mountain for four days and four nights in order to join the sect of Huashan Mountain. When Master Yinyu agreed to her request, , her whole body was buried in the snow, and she was almost unable to return to her soul.

She was only 13 years old at the time.

Seven years later, Master Yinyu went to the South China Sea.

Ku Mei stayed behind in Huashan, and the "Four Swords of Taiyin" invaded in large numbers in order to avenge a single palm strike in the past, threatening to burn Xuanyu Temple to the ground and annihilate the Huashan Sect. Master Ku Mei suffered 39 minor and serious injuries, but he still fought hard and bloody. In the end, no one from the Four Taiyin Swords could make it down the mountain alive.

Since this battle, people in the martial arts community have called Master Kumei the "Iron Fairy Girl".

Five years later, Qinghai's "cold-faced Rakshasa" sent a letter of challenge to a decisive battle with Master Yin Yu on the top of Mount Tai. If Yin Yu loses, the Huashan faction will have to become a subordinate of the Rakshasa gang.

This battle is related to the success or failure of the Huashan faction, but Master Yinyu went mad at this time. Huashan can't avoid it without fighting, and Kumei can only fight on behalf of his teacher.

She also knew that she was by no means a rival of the "Cold-faced Rakshasa". When she left, she was determined to die, and she wanted to die together with the Cold-faced Rakshasa.

Naturally, the cold-faced Rakshasa didn't take her seriously at all, so he asked her to ask the question. Master Kumei lit up a pot of boiling oil with a high fire, calmly put his hand into the boiling oil, and smiled. Said: "As long as the cold-faced Rakshasa dares to do this, Huashan will admit defeat."

The cold-faced Rakshasa immediately changed his color and stomped away. He never set foot in the Central Plains again, but Master Kumei's left hand had also been burnt to the bone by boiling oil.

This is the origin of the word "withered plum".

After this battle, Master Kumei, the "Iron Fairy", became even more famous. She took over the Huashan sect at the age of 29, and it has been 30 years now.

In the past 30 years, Huashan disciples have never seen a smile on her face.Master Kumei is just such a person. If someone like her is said to grow her hair and return to secular life, I'm afraid no one in the world will believe it.

Ji Ran did not go to investigate the Huashan Sect with Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua. Instead, she returned to Southern Shaolin first and met her master, Master Tianfeng.

"Master, my disciple wishes you well!" Ji Ran knelt down and kowtowed to Master Tianfeng.

"The great monk has been here for many years and has gained a lot. How could a young monk be so virtuous and capable as to dare to make the great monk kneel down and worship him." Master Tianfeng said in a nonchalant manner.

As soon as Ji Ran heard this, she understood that this was because the master and the old man disliked her for not coming back for many years and were playing wild things outside.

So, he quickly got up and walked behind Master Tianfeng, squeezing his shoulders and hitting his back.

Haoyan said: "Didn't I greet you just after returning to the temple? You don't know how interesting the Xue Family Villa and the Toiling Villa are."

So in the next half hour, Ji Ran started telling stories.

First, he told the story of Zuo Mingzhu and others, and then how Xue Xiaoren pretended to be crazy and acted like a fool. He originally intended to provide some guidance through daily evening classes, hoping that Xue Xiaoren could restrain himself, but in the end, his efforts were in vain.

Then we talked about Master Huashan Kumei.

After hearing this, Master Tianfeng pondered for a moment and said: "I don't know much about the matter of Dry Plum returning to secular life. I just heard vaguely that it is related to the Bat Cave. You might as well go there for me. After all, we are Buddhists, so we should have something to do. Help."

Seven days later, night falls on the East China Sea.

"Master, look, there is a floating thing in front of you, like... like a coffin!" the boatman shouted to the cabin.

Hearing this, Ji Ran walked out of the cabin and looked into the distance. Sure enough, there was a coffin floating on the sea, and there was someone in the coffin.Ji Ran said to the boatman: "Get over quickly and see if the people inside are still alive and whether they can be saved. Seeing that the wind and rain are about to rise, move faster."

When the boat slid not far away, a familiar voice was heard coming from the coffin: "That's the light!"

"Old drunkard, is that you?" Ji Ran shouted loudly.

Hearing this sound, Hu Tiehua in the coffin laughed loudly: "Hahaha, there's no need to die, there's no need to die, the meat-and-wine monk is here."

Everyone tried their best to board Ji Ran's boat, Zhang San looked around and said: "This boat is a bit small, if a storm comes, I'm afraid it won't be able to bear it."

After hearing this, Jin Lingzhi, who had just calmed down, became nervous again: "Then what should we do?"

Ji Ran also had a headache. There really was no big ship to hire. He looked at Chu Liuxiang and said, "Xiang Shuai, who are these?"

Chu Liuxiang slapped her forehead and said, "Let me introduce to you. This is Kuaiwang Zhang San, whose grilled fish is especially delicious. This is the Jinlingzhi girl from Wanfu Wanshou Garden. This is the white-robed God's Ear Ying Wanli senior."

"Little monk Wu Zhen, I've met you all." Ji Ran saluted.

Then Ji Ran asked Chu Liuxiang: "Why did Xiangshuai and everyone walk on the sea in a coffin? Is there a cave in it?"

Chu Liuxiang also smiled bitterly, and then said to Ji Ran: "I heard the details..."
