Under the sky

Chapter 310 Destroying Buddha with Buddha

Shortly after Jueji and Juekong left, two lay disciples holding tokens summoned the monks of Puxian Academy to the Zhenglu Pavilion in the courtyard.The Zhenglv Pavilion is used by Samantabhadra to preach sermons and issue orders. It has a lobby that can accommodate nearly 500 people. In the hall, two Dharma protectors, [-] ordination lawyers and more than [-] supervisory monks are neatly arranged. This is almost a common place for ordinary people. All the monks and disciples of Xianyuan are waiting for the order from the chief or the abbot.

Suddenly there were two muffled sounds, and the front and rear doors of Zhenglu Hall were closed. About a hundred lay disciples appeared silently outside the window, each holding a crossbow, and arrows rained down in an instant.The first batch of monks who fell didn't know what happened. The remaining monks reacted and fled in a panic, pushing each other and huddled together.There was no better target for sniping. The sharp arrows shot through the bodies of the monks again. After the second batch of monks fell, the monks with higher martial arts had time to block the rain of arrows from all directions. They could use the cover of the corpses of their companions or even higher. He climbed up to the roof with his Qinggong and even broke through the roof to escape.At this time, more than half of the fifteen discipline lawyers had fallen, and the remaining ones could not help but issue orders to break out...

There are one hundred and eight monks sitting in the lecture pavilion of Wenshu Monastery, with the reciter leading the chanting.This ritual begins seven days before the Buddha's birthday, and is recited day and night for seven days until the end of the Buddha's birthday.In addition to these [-] monks, there are more than [-] monks in a room behind the Lecture Pavilion. Whenever one person stands up to rest, someone will step forward to recite the sutras on his behalf. This is a spontaneous recitation of sutras, and there is no Forced.

The monks were concentrating on chanting sutras and did not pay attention to the hurried footsteps outside the door.A group of lay disciples barged in with buckets of water. Without saying a word, they picked up the buckets and sprinkled water on the heads and faces of the monks.The monks were shocked by this rude behavior and were stunned for a moment. Then they smelled that the oil spilled on them was lamp oil. Before they could react, the lay disciples had already rushed out and sealed the door tightly. Before the monks could recover, they dropped the Torches.

The fire broke out, screams resounded throughout Wenshu Monastery, and thick smoke came out of the windows.

The screams from Puxian Monastery and Wenshu Monastery immediately attracted attention, and monks who didn't know what was going on came out to take a look.Lay disciples were organized into teams of five, distinguished by their hair, and would kill the monks they saw.Wenshu Monastery was full of righteous monks, and most of them were massacred before they knew what was going on. Only a few with better martial arts survived, but only temporarily.

As the thick smoke rising from Wenshu Monastery attracted the attention of the disciples guarding the temple, the people who were worshiping outside the Shaolin Temple suddenly became angry. A commoner kneeling in front of him suddenly pushed out a palm and killed a monk. Several figures jumped out of the crowd. He got up, broke through Juma, easily killed the unsuspecting guarding monk, and started fighting with other guarding disciples.

Not only a few people came, but dozens and hundreds of people rushed out from the crowd. They took out weapons from under their clothes and attacked the Shaolin Temple.This group of people mixed in with thousands of people, and in a blink of an eye, they slaughtered all the monks who were maintaining law and order in front of Juma. When they noticed something had happened, the people got up in a panic, fled each other, and trampled on each other. The number of dead was unknown.

The gate of Shaolin Temple should be opened if arranged in advance.Hundreds of killers who came from nowhere rushed into the Shaolin Temple and killed the monks on sight. The disciples of Puxian Academy who were supposed to defend the enemy were nowhere to be seen.Someone shouted loudly: "Kill the bald donkey! Protect Shaolin!" A large number of people even rushed to Wenshu Monastery.

Dozens of horses ran out of the Samantabhadra Courtyard and came to various places in the four courtyards. The lay disciples on the horses held tokens and shouted loudly: "The Chief Juekong has an order to kill the bald donkey and protect Shaolin!" The lay disciples gathered together Launched a massacre of Shaolin monks.

Everything should not be so easy, but the monks and lay disciples stationed at Wuming Temple did not know what happened on the mountain. There are three thousand monks and lay disciples in Shaolin Temple. Although they are highly skilled in martial arts, nearly half of them are in charge of Buddhist rituals in the Buddhist capital. Although the number of remaining monks is relatively large, they are less than a thousand. They have no one to direct them and are scattered in all directions. They don’t know where to hide if they want to escape. The lone monks are the best targets for sniping, even if someone wants to gather the monks. The crowd resisted without a leader, and it was difficult for the orders to be carried out.

Not all lay disciples participated in the massacre from the beginning. Most of the lay disciples in the temple were at a loss. They only heard the cry of "Kill the bald donkey, protect Shaolin", and heard the intruders shout: "Lay disciples! Don't resist, we won't kill anyone with hair!" Some of those who obeyed the order joined the team that slaughtered the monks, while others went back to their rooms to escape.

The cry of "Kill the bald donkey, protect Shaolin" spread louder and louder in the Shaolin Temple, from Puxian Temple to Guanyin Temple and Ksitigarbha Temple, gradually flooding the entire Shaolin and reaching the ears of Juejian in front of Ciguang Pagoda.

The Mercy Sword used by Juejian was violent with one palm after another. He didn't know how Juekong discovered his plan, and he didn't know what Kong had arranged, but there was still a chance to stabilize the overall situation by killing Juekong.

Juekong used the Prajna Palm to tightly protect his whole body.He was able to defeat the three powerful monks of Wenshu Monastery with eleven palms because he had the opportunity. But what he missed was not only the No. 12 palms, but also the opportunity.The Big Sumeru Palm requires too much real power. The twelve palms have consumed most of his internal energy. He has no time to regain his breath. His chest is suffocated and his breath is not smooth.

Juekong wouldn't give him a chance to relax, so he used a set of sixteen-way compassion knives to kill him. Juekong was forced to the wall. Juekong's palm posture changed, and his arms and sleeves swayed like two rubber balls. Xiang Juekong.Juekong turned his head to avoid it and saw a dent in his sleeves on the wall. He moved his hands in turns, opening and closing them, using the cassock's demon-subduing skill "Group of Demons Swinging" to force Juekong to retreat.

While receiving the attack, Juekong retreated into the tower. Juekong waved his sleeves and robes to follow, and the attack continued, shouting: "Juekong!"

Jue Wen stared at Jue Jian chasing Juekong into the tower, then turned to look at Jue Ji and Jue Guan.Jueji's five fingers turned into claws, using the dragon's claw hand. Jueguan used a staff instead of a spear to use the Eightfold Path Spear in the 72 stunts.This set of marksmanship is different from the ordinary marksmanship in picking, stabbing, poking and other dexterous ways. There are eight moves in total. The moves are magnificent. "Right View and Destroy Illusion" will knock off a piece of the guardrail outside the tower, and "Right Thought and Destroy Evil" will draw a deep line on the ground. Marks, "Right speech defeats arrogance", "Right deeds defeat evil" force Jueji to avoid its edge.

Jue Wen was in a daze when he suddenly heard a scream and looked back. He was evenly matched with one against two, but finally lost and received a slap from Wu on the back.Not long after he became the abbot of Wu, he had just started to learn the Yi Jin Jing. However, he was the best martial arts among Jueru disciples except Xiao Qinggu. He was outstanding among his generation. This palm was really not light.

Liao Ping was hit in the palm, turned around and fought back, was punched again, and spit out blood. Not even a stone could withstand these two heavy blows.

"Juewen, save Ping!" Jueji shouted.

Jue Wen was still standing where he was, and his thoughts went back to a few years ago, when Liao Ping had just replaced Jue Ru as the abbot of Zhengyu Hall and was worried about digging a well.In the past few years, both of them have been lay monks, and he and I have been tripped up by Daojue Guanshi in the nest. The two have worked together for several years, and they have quite a friendship, if not a deep friendship.

He raised his hand to save Ping, but he didn't know where to use Shaolin's unique skills. He could hear that there was a massacre in the Shaolin Temple. He heard shouts of killing and subtle screams from the fourth courtyard. Who is killing whom?He looked at the three monks of Wenshu Monastery on the ground. Jueyun was dead, Jueguang had fainted with bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and Jueming was seriously injured and lying on the ground unable to move.

Buddha, don’t you abstain from killing?Why are there so many killings in the Shaolin Temple, where Buddha is revered?
"Bang!" Liao Wu hit Ping's lower abdomen with his Vajra Palm, causing blood to spurt from Liao Ping's mouth.Zhuozhen hit him with a palm that shattered his skull and he fell flat.

The stone is broken.

Liao Wu and Liao Zheng killed Jueji at the same time.

Where is the first seat of Juekong?Jue Wen looked towards the Ci Guang Pagoda, but no one could be seen in the tower.Did he fight the abbot upstairs?Juewen looked up to the top of the tower and saw a person on the top of the tower.

Why is there anyone on the top of the tower?Juewen's old eyes couldn't see clearly who it was.

Ming Ming stood at the top of the tower, and the strong wind shook his white-washed coarse cloth clothes.He looked down at the Shaolin Temple. The fire in the Wenshu Monastery had not yet been extinguished. Groups of small groups were moving through the Shaolin Temple like a large swarm of ants. They were devouring the Shaolin Temple, eating up this majestic Buddhist temple one by one in broad daylight.

He saw eight figures leading dozens of people towards the Ciguang Pagoda.

His eyes stayed on the fourth floor of Ciguang Tower. Two figures flew out one after another. In just a moment, Ming Wuji met Juekong's eyes in mid-air.Juejian chased Juekong all the way, and the two of them used the wind to force the lights in the tower to flicker.In his mind, Juekong's martial arts skills were once the best in the world. However, Juekong was old after all, and his energy was now exhausted. He had to seize the opportunity to kill him in order to restore his decline.

Kasaya's demon subduing skill was extremely powerful, and Juejian didn't give Juekong any room to breathe. Juekong could never take a breath, so he could only fight and retreat, and was forced from the first floor to the fourth floor.Seeing that Juekong was gradually dying, Juekong was overjoyed. He locked Juekong's retreat with left and right combos. He blocked Juekong's palm with his left sleeve and hit Juekong's chest with his right sleeve.Juekong jumped back and was still hit in the chest. Two of his ribs were broken and there was blood at the corner of his mouth.

Jue Jian was about to pursue him when his footsteps suddenly stalled.He forgot that it was not only Juekong who was getting old, but also himself.He pursued continuously, using up all his strength, but before he could catch up, Juekong used the power of his robe to float to the outside of the railing. His body fell, and when he raised his head, he saw Ming Wuxiang.

Unable to let him escape like this, Juejian took a step forward, jumped over the fence, and flew down from the fourth floor. Unknown to him, it was this slow fall that allowed Juekong to get what he wanted most.

A chance to recover.

Juekong has been on the defensive, secretly adjusting his true energy. The moment his body fell, he exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the true energy in his body flowed smoothly.He felt like a big eagle swooping down, his hands were clasped, his sleeves and robes were bulging high, and he was hit hard like a sledgehammer.Juekong's body drifted backwards, and he concentrated his breath and regained his tiredness.Juekong noticed that although the blow was not solid, the wind from his palm stirred up, raising the surrounding dust high. Juekong took a breath, and then his left palm came out, and his right palm followed. The two palms moved forward alternately, suddenly and slowly. I don't know which palm came first. When the palm came later, I didn't know whether it was true or not. I waved my sleeves and robe to resist. With a "hiss" sound, my sleeves and robe shattered as if cut by a knife.

The sleeve robe is a soft object, which is full of true energy. When encountering soft force, it accumulates energy and rebounds, and when encountering hard force, it uses hard force to break the hard force. This is the essence of the cassock's magic of subduing demons.At that time, it was unknown whether I could pierce through the sleeve robe even with my fingers. Juekong's palm was as sharp as a knife and cut the sleeve robe without force.

The cassock's magic of subduing demons has been broken. I feel my brows are furrowed, the corners of my mouth are bent down, with a grimace on my face. I clenched my palms into fists, tilted my head, and slowly punched out, then suddenly made a sudden thrust, as fast as lightning.

This is the third unique skill of Jia Jian, besides the Compassion Knife and Kasaya Demon Subduing Technique: the Troubles Removing Fist.

Juekong turned to the left side and placed his left palm on Juejian's arm. A soft force brought Juejian one step forward and slapped Juejian's lower abdomen with his right palm.The strength of the Yi Jin Jing lies in its mellowness and uprightness, but when it is extremely strong, it is humiliating. Juejian uses two sets of special skills in succession, and his offensive is endless, even forcing Juekong to be unable to take a breath, but the slow step on the tower is already a warning signal, and Juejian Seeing no need to adjust his breath, he jumped down to give chase. At this moment, the situation between him and Juekong was exactly the opposite from before.Although this punch was powerful, it was not powerful enough. It was blocked by Jue Kong, causing him to lean forward.The masters exchanged blows, winning or losing in an instant. Juekong dwarfed his body, and his right palm slammed into Juejian's lower abdomen. Juejian felt his insides churning, vomiting blood at the mouth, and fell to the ground.

With Jue Wen's experience in martial arts, he naturally knew the cause of Jue Jian's defeat. He suddenly thought to himself, Jue Kong's leader can't shoot No. 12, Abbot Jue Jian's real power cannot be sustained, and we are all getting old before we know it.In the Shaolin Temple, the monks work together for as little as a few years and as long as 30 to 30 years. Is the friendship between [-] and [-] years just for this kind of life-and-death struggle?
He heard Jueji yelling and turned around to see that Jueji was surrounded by three monks. He didn't know how many palms and punches he received.He was seen vomiting blood, his left arm was hanging limply, and it was obviously broken. His right foot was limping, and he fell to the ground after being kicked violently.

Jueji is also defeated, will he die?Is the leader Juekong still capable of defeating the remaining three?Jue Wen saw Jue Jian stand up. It seemed that Juekong's palm was not enough to defeat Jue Jian.

Jie Wen didn't move, he still couldn't make up his mind.Help Shaolin or help Buddha?But isn’t Shaolin the authentic Buddhist sect in the world?Why did Shaolin leave Buddha?Buddha, why did you abandon Shaolin?
Kyawun couldn't figure it out. His mind hadn't been clear since the beginning of this battle. It felt like he was in a dream, more like a nightmare coming true.He always felt that this day would eventually come, but he thought it would not be at least in his lifetime. When Shaolin was reorganized, he optimistically believed that the struggle between orthodoxy and secularity would end.

The unknown person on the top of the tower did not move. He knew that he was just as good as Jue Wen. No, maybe he was more capable than Jue Wen in deciding the outcome of this formal and secular battle. Just because he knew he could, he didn't move.He just looked at it, with no joy or sadness on his face, as if this was not the place where he grew up, as if he had never spent those 16 years in Shaolin, as if the monks downstairs who were fighting for life and death had never known him before. Don't know each other.

Amid the pure chanting of Sanskrit, what kind of group of people are they worshiping devoutly in front of the solemn statue of Tathagata with kind eyebrows lowered?Are the monks constantly fighting for the Buddha or for power?He understands people’s desire for power, but he also doesn’t understand people’s desire for power.

The dust of this battle between morality and secularity has not yet settled, but Ming and Wu have already seen through the victory or defeat in front of them.From a high position, he saw the men and horses breaking into Shaolin, and saw that the eight leaders had led dozens of people to Ciguang Pagoda.

Jue Jian lost.

The three Jue Guan defeated Jue Ji and were about to attack Jue Kong when eight people ran out from behind the main hall, wearing different colors. There were farmers in coarse clothes, bodyguards in smart clothes guarding the courtyard, beggars in quail clothes, and more. In addition to the members of the wealthy family who have rich clothes and jade belts, they also have various weapons in their hands, including short sticks, long swords, short knives, nine-section whips, and the extremely rare one-legged bronze man and the Five Elements Wheel.These eight people ran or jumped towards the three Jue Guan people. Just looking at their skills, one could tell that they were highly skilled in martial arts.

Behind these eight people were dozens of others.Liao Wu faced off against the short stick and long sword, Liao Zheng faced off against the short knife and the Five Elements Wheel, Jue Guan's staff wrapped around the nine-section whip, pulled the opponent closer, and knocked the opponent three feet away with one palm. People swept towards him, daggers waving in front of his eyes.

Juejian raised his head and looked at the unknown figure at the top of the tower. That was his last hope.Why does this grand master nephew, who is highly valued by him, never take action? Is it because he doesn't want to create murderous karma?But the situation was so unfavorable... His eyes gradually darkened with disappointment and pain.

It's time to leave, Ming Wuxiang thought to himself.The melee below had just begun, but the outcome was already clear. He didn't need to stay any longer, which would add to the danger.He turned his back to the battlefield, which was towards the back mountain of Shaolin Temple, where he had gone on an outing with Bu Gui, Lu Changfeng, and Wenshu Monastery disciples. There was no ambush there.

The seeds he had left in his mind had blossomed but had not yet come to fruition, and the results would not be revealed today.The unknown light leaped up, like a butterfly flying lightly and falling gracefully.

Suddenly, a palm gust came from below. He lowered his head, and a burly figure jumped up from the fence on the fifth floor and shot out with a palm.Ming Wuxiang clapped his left hand, and the two palms collided with each other. The heavy pressure made Mingwuxiang lose his body. He threw out his right hand and hooked it on the fence on the sixth floor, and flew into the window on the fifth floor.

The figure exchanged a palm with him, then fell down, grabbed a kite on the edge of the fourth floor and turned over. He smashed the glazed tiles with his toes and jumped upwards, flying in from another window on the fifth floor.

It was a feeling of emptiness, and he actually came here leaving his awareness behind.

The two faced each other in front of the ashes of the first abbot of the eight halls of the Four Courts of the past, with only three feet apart.Monk Juekong's robe was covered with dust and blood stains, but this did not damage his majesty. Even after a fierce battle, he remained majestic and upright, showing no signs of embarrassment, and stared at the unknown.

"Eight years ago, around the time of the Buddha's birthday, Liaojing told me about you. At that time, I didn't believe it. What Liaojing said was not only unreasonable, but also unbelievable." Juekong said, he always rarely talks. , said concisely and to the point, "The palm you just received used Yi Jin Jing and Prajna Palm from Shangtang martial arts. Who passed it on to you?"

"The disciples taught themselves." He made no excuses. In the blink of an eye, he had already judged Juekong's suspicion and determination.He gently rolled up the incredible iron chain with his right hand until he grasped the dagger tightly, raised his left palm, and bowed respectfully.

"The disciple is unknown, please ask for help from the leader of Juekong."
