Everything starts from Tian Long Ba Bu

Chapter 198 The big brother who took the lead in the past is now the abbot of Shaolin!
  In less than a cup of tea, Murong Fu and his entourage followed Master Xuanjing to the outside of the Main Hall.

"Master Murong, please, the abbot senior brother and a group of senior brothers are waiting in the hall!"

Master Xuanjing suddenly stopped and clasped his hands together when he saw the Mahavira Palace so close at hand.

"Excuse me, Master Xuanjing!"

Murong Fu returned the gift with a smile, and then led everyone into the main hall.

"Amitabha, old man Xuanci has met Mr. Murong!"

Accompanied by a long recitation of the Buddha's name, Murong Fu saw a tall, thin old monk clasping his hands together as soon as he stepped into the hall.

"Murong Fu, a junior, has met Abbot Xuanci!"

Murong Fu also returned the courtesy.

"You must be the eminent monks of the Xuan generation who are among the eight great monks. It's polite for juniors to learn from you!"

His eyes immediately fell on several old monks beside Abbot Xuanci, and Murong Fu continued with a smile.

There are eight great divine monks in this generation of Shaolin Temple, namely Xuancheng, Xuanci, Xuanji, Xuanbei, Xuannan, Xuanku, Xuandu and Xuantong.

Among them, Xuan Cheng had the highest level of martial arts, and even Xuan Ci, the abbot, was far behind.

This person's martial arts skills were recognized by the senior monks of the Shaolin Temple as the best in the temple's martial arts in the past two hundred years.

However, due to being too diligent in practicing martial arts, the accumulated hostility was not channeled in time, which led to him becoming obsessed and losing all his martial arts overnight. After that, he stopped practicing martial arts, devoted himself to Buddhism, and became a generation of eminent monks.

When Murong Fu thought about this, he immediately realized that there were only seven monks in the main hall.

Obviously, Xuan Cheng, who was evaluated by the sweeping monk in the original work as being otherworldly, is not in the main hall today.

Thinking that Master Xuancheng has begun to devote himself to Buddhism, he will naturally not be involved in today's events, so it is not surprising that he has not shown up.

"Amitabha!"

When Xuanji and others heard this, they just chanted the Buddha's name in response.

At the same time, Abbot Xuanci noticed Ye Erniang appearing behind Murong Fu. Even though he was prepared, he was still startled when he saw Ye Erniang.

Xuanji and others beside him noticed Xuanci's strange behavior, but they were not suspicious. Instead, they all thought: "Today Nan Murong and his group are visiting Shaolin in person. The rule of not receiving female guests is just a trivial matter. There is no need to hurt two people for it." Family harmony.”

Murong Fu said: "Master Xuanci, today I am leading a group of people to come here, but it is actually about an old matter that happened more than twenty years ago!"

"An old incident from more than twenty years ago?"

When Xuanci heard this, his expression gradually became serious.

Even the expressions of the eminent monks of the Xuan generation beside him became a little complicated.

"Yes, but there are many people talking about this matter. I hope to talk to the master alone!"

Murong Fu glanced at the figures of several old monks beside Master Xuanci and continued speaking slowly.

"Mr. Murong, is it possible that you can't tell us about this matter?"

After hearing what Murong Fu said, a tall and thin old monk next to Xuanci suddenly stood up and spoke.

"I wonder what the master is called?"

When Murong Fu heard this, he was not upset at all and said with a smile.

"This is Junior Brother Xuanji!" Xuanci introduced him proactively.

Murong Fu said: "It turns out to be Master Xuanji. It's not that the juniors can't believe what the seniors said. It's just that this matter is very involved. Before the truth is revealed, the fewer people who know it, the better!"

Master Xuanji's identity is not simple either. He is the head of the Shaolin Temple's Discipline Academy and Nagarshu Academy. He is also taught by Xuannan, Xuanji and the abbot Xuanci, so he has always been trusted by Xuanci.

After hearing Murong Fu's explanation, Xuanji's expression softened.

After hearing what Murong Fu said, Xuanci, who had already had a premonition, suddenly said: "Since Mr. Murong requests this, Junior Brother Xuanji, please go down!"

Hearing this, the six members of Xuanji bowed and retreated.

This shows that Xuanci has a high prestige among the monks in the Shaolin Temple. The Shaolin Temple under his leadership has been called the leader of the martial arts in the Central Plains for more than 20 years.

"Brother Deng, Mr. Duan, could you please stay outside the hall too!"

Seeing Xuanji and the six people leaving, Murong Fu immediately gave instructions.

After Deng Baichuan and Duan Yanqing heard this, they quickly stood guard outside the palace with everyone. The six of them had heard Murong Fu talk about that secret thing in Luoyang City, so they quickly understood the implication of what he said.

Only Ye Erniang, Xu Zhu's mother and son, and Murong Fu were left in the main hall.

"Mr. Murong's ambition is even better than that of Mr. Murong in the past. I am impressed!"

Looking at Ye Erniang who stayed in the Main Hall, Xuanci suddenly sighed.

"Master Xuanci misunderstood. I came here today just to resolve an old case from the past. I did not intend to blackmail Master!"

Hearing that Xuan Ci had misunderstood him, Murong Fu just shook his head gently and then said slowly.

He asked several people from Deng Baichuan to guard outside the main hall, but to prevent outsiders from eavesdropping. It should be noted that there are not only Shaolin monks in the Shaolin Temple, such as Murong Bo and Xiao Yuanshan who are hiding in the Sutra Pavilion.

Although the two of them have not been hiding in the Shaolin Temple for many years, the current matter needs to be hidden from them for the time being.

After all, of these two people, one has become obsessed with restoring the country, and the other has entered the devil's way for revenge. If they were to find out, it would be difficult to accomplish what happened today.

However, today there are almost all eminent monks of the Xuan generation of Shaolin Temple gathered in the main hall, and there are six people from Deng Baichuan waiting outside the door. Even if the two of them are in Shaolin right now, they are probably not willing to take the risk of coming here to eavesdrop.

"That's all, Ye Erniang, it's up to you to speak for yourself!"

When Murong Fu said this, he intentionally took half a step back.

When Ye Erniang heard this, her expression was full of hesitation, and she didn't even dare to look at Xuan Ci.

She knew that she was now notorious and could not have anything to do with the people around her, but right now she couldn't help it...

Seeing Ye Erniang lowering her head suddenly, Xuanci knew that she was still thinking about him. He couldn't help but feel soft in his heart and sighed softly: "We have been separated for many years, and Erniang is getting old!"

"Why do you want to recognize me...Actually, you...don't have to recognize me..."

Hearing Xuanci speak, Ye Erniang's expression was mixed with joy and sorrow, and even a little at a loss.

"Some things can be hidden from anyone, but we cannot fool ourselves. I have made you suffer all these years, Erniang!"

When Xuanci said this, there was a hint of obvious guilt in his tone.

"I'm not suffering...it's you who are suffering!"

Ye Erniang's face was full of tears at this time.

Xu Zhu, who was on the side, had a confused look in his eyes at this time. He had a simple heart and at this moment, he thought that his mother and the abbot were acquaintances many years ago.

"He is my child..."

Looking at Xuanci in front of her, Ye Erniang seemed to remember something again, and she quickly held Xu Zhu's hand and said softly.

"I received help from Mr. Murong and finally found him!"

Understanding Xuanci's surprise, Ye Erniang continued.

Hearing this, Xuanci couldn't help but glance at Murong Fu who was standing aside, and immediately his eyes fell on Xu Zhu. There was also a hint of softness in his expression, and he asked: "My child, what is your name?" Xu Zhu He said respectfully: "Reporting to the abbot, my disciple's name is Xu Zhu!"

"Silly boy, why are you calling me abbot? He is your father!"

Seeing that Xu Zhu still called Xuan Ci abbot, Ye Erniang understood that Xuan Ci already had the intention to recognize Xu Zhu, so she reminded him with a sadness in her heart.

"father……"

Xu Zhu's eyes were full of surprise and horror, and he even took half a step back.

When Abbot Xuanci saw this, he suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "How good, how good! Once you create a cause, there will be a result. Xu Zhu, come here!"

It wasn't until Ye Erniang pushed Xu Zhu that he came back to his senses and said, "Are you my father?"

"Yes, I am your father!"

Xuanci said.

After receiving Xuanci's confirmation, Xu Zhu was silent for a moment before walking to the abbot and kneeling down.

Xuanci looked at him for a long time, stretched out his hand to gently touch his head, his face full of tenderness and love, and said: "You have been in the temple for nineteen years, and I never knew that you were my son!"

At this moment, Xuanci seemed to have let go of all restraints, and his tone became invisible and relaxed.

"Mr. Murong, you traveled thousands of miles to visit Shaolin today. It must be not just for this matter, right?"

After reaching out and touching Xu Zhu's figure for a long time, Xuan Ci suddenly raised his head and looked at Murong Fudao.

Murong Fu smiled slightly and said: "Master Xuanci, to be honest, I came to your temple today because of an old case from more than 20 years ago!"

"An old case from more than twenty years ago?"

Xuanci's tone had become solemn.

"Yes, it was the Battle of Yanmen Pass back then!"

Speaking of this, Murong Fu's tone also became serious.

When Xuanci heard "The Battle of Yanmenguan", a strange look suddenly flashed across his face, which seemed to be excitement, fear, and horror. In the end, there was compassion and pity, and he sighed: "The killing is too heavy. Killing is too serious! This is a shameful thing. Mr. Murong, this matter happened more than 20 years ago, why is it brought up again today? "

Xuanci seemed unwilling to bring up the past.

"Master Xuanci, my father falsely spread the news, which led to the tragedy of the Yanmen battle in the past. Murong Fu came to visit today, but he actually wanted to apologize!"

Murong Fu shook his head and said.

"It seems that I have indeed wrongly blamed Mr. Murong. You and your father do behave differently!"

Hearing Murong Fu's sincere tone, Xuan Ci couldn't help but sigh, knowing that he had wrongly blamed a good person.

But then Xuanci shook his head and said: "It's better to resolve enemies than to end them, so why bring up old things again? Our old friends have passed away. In my opinion, there is no need to mention this matter again!"

"Master Xuanci, you have taken pity on my father's reputation. I am very grateful to this younger generation, but the master may not know something. My father is still alive today."

Seeing that Xuanci was still thinking about his old love, Murong Fu sighed secretly in his heart and said slowly and truthfully.

"It turns out that Mr. Murong is still alive today. This is really a happy event!"

When Xuanci heard this, his eyes showed a strange look at first, and then he said calmly.

It seemed that he had already guessed about Murong Boshang's life in the world, but he was always thinking about his old relationship and never took the initiative to expose it.

Murong Fu said: "Master has an open-minded temperament, which the younger generation admires!"

"I have violated the Buddhist rules and have already been punished. I am not worthy of your admiration!"

However, after hearing what Murong Fu said, Xuan Ci sighed.

Hearing this, Murong Fu shook his head slightly and said, "All that happened back then were all caused by the bitter consequences of the battle at Yanmen Pass. Master, you don't have to blame yourself!"

After saying this, Murong Fu immediately turned his eyes to Ye Erniang and her son, and said slowly: "Back then, my father falsely spread the news, which caused the master to kill a good person by mistake. As a result, the martial arts heroes in the Central Plains suffered heavy casualties. I am very ashamed!"

"But it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. Today, I have no choice but to boldly come to ask for your forgiveness!"

After Murong Fu finished speaking, he bowed to Xuan Ci with great respect.

Xuanci shook his head and said: "This matter was done by Mr. Murong in the past. It has nothing to do with Mr. Murong. Mr. Murong does not need to apologize!"

"Master, I don't know. The Murong family is the descendant of the Yan royal family in the past. My father went crazy in order to revive the country, and then he did one wrong thing after another. The younger generation just learned not long ago that my father has been hiding in your temple these years. Inside the Sutra Pavilion!"

After saying this, Murong Fu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"The Imperial Family of Dayan? The Sutra Pavilion?"

Hearing this, even though Xuanci had expected it, he couldn't help but change his face slightly.

Xuanci looked serious and said, "Mr. Murong, have you seen Mr. Murong?"

Murong Fu said: "Last year during the battle at Leigu Mountain, a mysterious man came to help me. I was curious and pursued him, and found that he was my father, but he did not want to recognize me. Afterwards, I sent people to help him in the rivers and lakes. After searching for my father’s whereabouts, I found out that he has been hiding in the Sutra Library of your temple all these years.”

"It turns out that Murong from Gusu is actually a descendant of the emperor. No wonder Mr. Murong faked the news back then. No wonder he faked his death and hid in Shaolin..."

Hearing this, Xuanci couldn't help but murmur to himself.

The time is right now. Xuanci instantly understood what Murong Bo had done back then.

As for his behavior of hiding in the Cangjin Pavilion, Xuanci was not surprised.

Murong Fu said: "My father has become obsessed with reviving the country. For this reason, he made a big mistake back then, and now he sneaked into your temple to steal martial arts. When the younger generation learned about it, they were afraid that he would do something wrong again in the future, so he had to Let’s go to Shaolin first to apologize to the master!”

"Master Murong is interested!"

Hearing this, Xuanci couldn't help but sigh, but when he looked at Murong Fu, his eyes were slightly complicated.

It should be noted that the power of the Murong family today can be called a behemoth. With the escort agencies under his command all over the country, they can rise up overnight.

"Master, you may be curious as to why I took the initiative to tell you frankly. With the current power of the Murong family, they can definitely separate themselves into one party!"

Seeing the complicated look in Xuanci's eyes, Murong Fu didn't take it seriously and continued to speak frankly.

"Yes, I do have doubts!"

Xuanci nodded.

"My father and I have different ideas. The idea of ​​restoring the country is not the first thing in my heart. If the Song Dynasty is unruly, I will take advantage of the trend and take advantage of the situation to restore the Song Dynasty. But now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, I don't want to do that!"

Facing Xuanci's gaze, Murong Fu said slowly.

Seeing that Murong Fu's eyes didn't dodge at all, and his tone didn't seem to be hypocritical, Xuan Ci couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said: "Master Murong has such thoughts, it is a blessing to the people of the world!"

When Murong Fu heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head slightly and said: "My father made a big mistake, and the younger generation only tried his best to make up for it. How can he be worthy of the master's praise!"

Although I understand Xuanci, I still don’t understand what a big mistake Murong Bo’s actions in the past caused and how many people were affected.

But now Murong Fu still needs to solve one thing...

Thinking of this joint, Murong Fu immediately asked: "I wonder if Master ever remembers Xiao Yuanshan?"
