Chapter 38 Tiantai Mountain

East Zhejiang, Tiantai Mountain.

Tiantai Mountain has been regarded as a sacred place for Buddhism since ancient times. During the Tang Dynasty, Master Jianzhen traveled east to Fusang to teach here. Hundreds of years later, there is still an endless stream of pilgrims coming here every year.

But on this day, there were three more figures at the foot of the mountain.

Among them, the leader was wearing fluttering white clothes and holding a fan in his right hand. He looked chic and elegant.

There were two people behind him, one of whom was a very tall and thin man, and the other was a thin man, but there was a strong look in his eyes, which made people not to underestimate him.

"This mountain is worthy of the name of Tiantai!"

The man in white swayed the folding fan gently in his hand, stared at the mountains hidden deep in the clouds and mist in front of him, and couldn't help but praise.

Looking along his line of sight, he saw that the side facing him was as straight as a knife, which reminded him of the origin of the name of Tiantai Mountain.

It is said that this mountain has eight layers, with the four sides being the same, and the top facing Sanchen. It is divided into cows and girls, and the upper part is corresponding to the platform for sleeping, so it is named Tiantai.

The main peak of Tiantai Mountain, Huading Mountain, is also known as the Sutra Chanting Platform. According to legend, the wise master once read the Shurangama Sutra here, facing Western India, hence its name.

This wise master is one of the four ancestors of Tiantai, so Tiantai Mountain is regarded as a holy land of Buddhism.

"Sir, this Zhiguan Temple is just a small temple, so why bother you to visit in person!"

Hearing his son speak, the tall man behind him stared at the only winding hiking trail above his head, obviously confused.

"Third brother, Tiantai Mountain is one of the holy places of Buddhism, and Master Zhiguang of Zhiguan Temple is a rare eminent monk in this world. As a junior, I should naturally pay a visit!"

When the man in white heard this, he shook his head slightly.

The man in white is Murong Fu, and the two people following him are Bao BuTong and Feng BoE.

It has been half a month since he visited Manmantuo Villa. During this period, in addition to practicing the Beiming Magical Skill every day, Murong Fu also captured the green forest bandits in the south of the Yangtze River.

And the reason for this, apart from the meager reputation, is to practice the Beiming Divine Art.

This Beiming Divine Skill is a unique skill of the Xiaoyao Sect, but it has not yet reached its peak level. Every day at noon and three o'clock, you must practice it carefully once. If you are a little lazy, you will frown and feel sad.

Murong Fu had only been practicing for a short period of time. Even though he encountered many adventures along the way, he could only reach the stage of small success, so he still had to practice diligently.

Fortunately, the area south of the Yangtze River is prosperous. In the deep mountains and wild forests, there have been countless green forest bandit leaders who make a living by robbing trails. These people have varying martial arts skills and gather people in the mountains to form strongholds. They usually do business without capital.

In this short period of half a month, Murong Fu picked out twelve cottages, among which several people had good martial arts skills, and their internal strength, which they had cultivated for many years, was naturally appreciated by Murong Fu.

In just half a month, Murong Fu's internal strength had increased by more than 30%.

In the past, it would have been unimaginable.

After this battle, everyone in the green forest in the south of the Yangtze River became aware of the reputation of the Murong family in Gusu, and in turn, the Murong family, which had gradually fallen silent in recent years, began to become famous again in the world.

Murong Fu did this not only because he was practicing the Beiming Divine Art, but also because he had the idea of ​​​​opening the escort bureau and becoming famous in the future.

The current world is not yet the one where the names of "Bei Qiao Feng" and "Nan Murong" will be resounding all over the world in the future. Compared with the so-called "South Murong", "Bei Qiao Feng", who is the leader of the Beggar Clan, has become more famous in recent years. getting louder and louder.

And because he had kept his filial piety for three years and stayed behind closed doors, the reputation of the Murong family in the world has long been diminished.

In the eyes of big sects such as Shaolin and the Beggar Clan, they naturally understand that it is the Murong family's background, but in the eyes of ordinary Jianghu sects, they naturally gradually ignore the Murong family.

For example, Zhong Wanchou whom Murong Fu met earlier is an example.

Just like the "Nan Murong" widely rumored in the world, it is not Murong Fu, but Murong Bo.

The reputation of the Murong family declined faster than Murong Fu expected.

Ever since the Battle of Yanmen Pass, when my father was so frightened by Xiao Yuanshan that he was forced to hide in the cellar all day long, the prestige of the Murong family began to decline.

When my father faked his death and escaped, he had not yet reached Zeng Jiguan. He has been in the world for nearly ten years now, and during this period, Gusu Murong's name has almost disappeared from the world. With his current martial arts skills, looking around the world, there are few young people who can match him. Even among the older generation, there are only a few people who can hold him down.

Unfortunately, Naihe seldom walked around the world, so his reputation was not good. With the Escort Bureau soon to be established, Murong Fu had no choice but to walk around more.

However, this matter of the Escort Bureau needs to be comprehensive and managed by all parties, not just relying solely on force. If you rely on Murong Bo's acting style, you will certainly gain temporary benefits, but in the end you will inevitably make too many enemies.

It should be noted that my father's fake death has long aroused suspicion in the Shaolin Temple. However, Xuanci was concerned about old friendships and had no proof, so he did not disclose it to the world. Otherwise, the past events alone would have made the Murong family enemies on all sides.

If he acts too ostentatiously, it will be detrimental to him!
  Therefore, when Murong Fu acts now, he naturally wants to take both welfare and power into account. He wants people to be obedient to you, but he also cannot find any fault.

Therefore, after picking up twelve mountain villages in the south of the Yangtze River and arriving in eastern Zhejiang, Murong Fu came up with the idea of ​​visiting Master Zhiguang.

If it were someone else, Brother Bao Sange and others could naturally take their place.

But in this Jiangnan area, Master Zhiguang was the only one who had to visit him personally.

This is because Master Zhiguang not only has a close personal relationship with the abbot Xuanci of Shaolin Temple, but also has another identity: he is one of the few survivors of the Yanmenguan battle.

In the battle of Yanmen Pass, Abbot Xuanci and twenty-one masters from the Central Plains besieged Xiao Yuanshan, but they were killed so hard that they lost their armor and armor. In the end, only Abbot Xuanci, the leader of the Beggar Clan Wang Jiantong, Master Zhiguang, and Zhao Qiansun were left alive. Four people.

After this battle, Master Zhiguang rarely walked around the world, so naturally his name was not well known in the world. Although Brother Bao was older than him, he was more than one generation behind Master Zhiguang, so naturally he was not Know his name.

Just think that he is just a great monk who deceives the world and steals his reputation, but this is not the case!

Since the Battle of Yanmen Pass, Master Zhiguang has made a great wish to travel across the ocean to the wild overseas to collect the bark of exotic trees and cure countless people infected with miasma in Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangxi.

As a result, he suffered two serious illnesses and lost all his martial arts skills. However, it benefited the people, which is not a superficial thing.

This move alone was worthy of Murong Fu's personal visit.

"Brother Bao San, I know you are outspoken, but now that the Murong family is in decline, and the matter of the escort agency is imminent, you should not be as aggressive as before when dealing with outsiders, so as not to make enemies for no reason and miss important events."

Understanding Bao Tongtong's thoughts, Murong Fu continued.

When Bao BuTong heard this, his expression changed drastically.

When it comes to his loyalty to the Murong family, there is no doubt about it!

But he loves to quarrel with others, even his own brothers are bound to have arguments, but he also knows that he has a bad mouth and usually causes a lot of trouble.

Now that Murong Fu mentioned this matter, he pointed out that his move might affect the Murong family's affairs, so he was naturally frightened.

When Feng Bohao heard this, he was thoughtful, and then said: "Third brother, what Master taught me is that if you and I die, that's all, but if we implicate the Master and fail to achieve a major event, we must die!" "

"What the Master taught me is that my subordinates have realized their mistakes!"

When Bao BuTong heard this, he seemed to have figured something out. With fear in his eyes, he cupped his hands to Murong Fu.

After this episode, Murong Fu took the two of them to the mountain for a visit.

The scenery of Tiantai Mountain is quiet and quiet, but the mountain trails are quite steep and rugged. It is said that during the Han Dynasty, Liu Chen and Ruan Zhao accidentally entered Tiantai Mountain and encountered fairies. It can be seen that the mountains and rivers are extremely beautiful, but the mountain roads are winding and winding, making it difficult to identify.

However, Murong Fu and his entourage were all skilled in martial arts, so they walked effortlessly, and within an hour they had reached the outside of Zhiguan Temple.

Among the temples in Tiantai Mountain, Guoqing Temple is famous all over the world. During the Sui Dynasty, the eminent monk Zhizhe once stayed here and established the "Tiantai Sect". It has been an important place for Buddhism for hundreds of years. But in the martial arts world, the name Zhiguan Zen Temple is much more famous.

But I never expected that Zhiguan Temple, which was famous all over the world in its early years, would turn out to be a very ordinary small temple. Even the plaster paint outside the temple has mostly peeled off.

When Murong Fu saw this, he was slightly startled, and then he raised his hands and said: "The junior Murong Fu has come to pay homage to Master Zhiguang!"

The voice fell, and a moment later, the temple door opened, and a short and fat monk in his twenties walked out. When the monk saw Murong Fu and his party, he first bowed respectfully and said: "Master Murong, please come in. My master has been waiting here for a long time." Got it!"

Then I heard an old voice coming from the temple: "The distinguished guest has come from afar, but I am not welcome."
