Everything starts from Tian Long Ba Bu

Chapter 77 Shaolin Temple

Thousands of years have passed since Patriarch Bodhidharma traveled eastward to the Central Plains.

As the ancestor of Zen Buddhism, Shaolin Temple has gone through thousands of years since its establishment and has still stood firm no matter the changing times!
  Nowadays, when the name of Shaolin is mentioned in the world, everyone feels respectful!
  ……

But today, at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain, a group of strange visitors were welcomed.

The leader among them is dressed in white clothes, tall and straight, with a handsome face and extraordinary bearing.

Behind him was a group of people, three of whom looked like they were no more than ten years old, but they were all extremely pretty, attracting the attention of everyone walking down the mountain.

In addition to the three girls who attracted people's love and affection, there were also two men with fierce looks. One of them was tall and thin, and the other was skinny.

If they had anything in common, it was the fierce look in their eyes that aroused fear in the hearts of passers-by.

This group of people is none other than Murong Fu and his group who left Meizhuang.

After heading north from Hangzhou, Murong Fu and his party met up with Feng BoE in Henan, but instead of returning to Huashan, they suddenly diverted to Songshan.

It should be noted that Songshan Mountain is one of the Five Mountains. Among the five mountains, Songshan Mountain is famous for being unique. Because it is located in the Central Plains, it has the reputation of being the first mountain in the Central Plains.

Among the martial arts world, Songshan is famous for its Shaolin Temple.

However, there is not only Shaolin sect on Songshan Mountain. Songshan Mountain is divided into two mountains, including Taishi Mountain and Shaoshi Mountain.

Shaolin Temple was built on Shaoshi Mountain, but Taishi Mountain has been occupied by the Songshan Sect of the Five Mountains Sword Sect in recent decades. Even Junji Peak, the main peak of Songshan Mountain, is regarded as the place of the Songshan Sect.

As the saying goes, two tigers cannot be accommodated in one mountain, not to mention that one of them is the Shaolin Temple, a martial arts master.

But just on top of Song Mountain, there was a miracle that one mountain could accommodate two tigers. Fortunately, the two factions each occupied a peak, and were separated by more than ten miles, so they could be considered harmonious for decades.

However, Murong Fu understood that the reason why Songshan Sect and Shaolin Temple coexisted harmoniously was because of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

It should be noted that the rise of the Five Mountains Sword Sect was less than a hundred years ago. Initially, it was to fight against the aggressive Demon Sect. The most powerful Huashan Sect served as the leader of the Five Mountains Sect.

During this period, due to the endless supply of masters of the Huashan Sect, although there was a gap between the two leaders of Sword and Qi, they still had a consistent attitude on major issues of right and wrong. Therefore, the Huashan Sect occupied the position of leader for decades.

It wasn't until the Sword Qi War broke out that the Huashan Sect caused trouble for Xiao Qiang. It was due to the infighting between the two sects that they suffered numerous casualties, so they declined.

It was at this time that the Songshan Sect, with Zuo Lengchan as its leader, gradually began to develop and prosper. It was precisely because of the existence of the Wuyue Sword Sect that the Songshan Sect gradually settled down in Taishi Mountain.

Murong Fu led the crowd slowly forward. Before they reached the halfway point of the mountain, they saw a gray-robed monk who seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing Murong Fu appear, the gray-robed monk clasped his hands from a distance and asked respectfully: "May I ask if this person is Mr. Murong?"

Murong Fu heard the sound, smiled slightly and said: "Not bad!"

"The young monk, by order of the abbot of this temple, has been waiting for Young Master Murong here for a long time. Please respectfully invite Young Master to come up the mountain!"

Having said this, the gray-robed monk bowed respectfully again.

"Little monk, what's your name?"

Seeing this gray-robed monk, his breathing was steady and his eyes were shining brightly. He was obviously a man of considerable internal strength, Feng BoEi couldn't help but asked with interest.

The monk in gray clothes said: "My name is Jueyue!"

When the monk in gray clothes announced his name, Murong Fu and his party looked as usual. However, Qu Feiyan, who had been under Ren Yingying's command for a long time, had a strange look in his eyes when he heard this.

It should be noted that in the Shaolin Temple today, the "Fang Zi generation" is the highest, followed by the "Jue Zi generation" and finally the "Guo Zi generation".

However, although the monks of the national generation in Shaolin Temple are the lowest in seniority, there are many good ones among them, and some of them can even make friends with the heads of various sects.

But today, when the Shaolin Temple heard that Master Murong was visiting, it actually sent a senior monk from the "Juezi generation" to wait here, which really surprised her.

Regarding Qu Feiyan's surprise, Murong Fu looked as usual. It should be noted that when he led everyone to the foot of Shishi Mountain, there was no trace of him. Therefore, it is not surprising that Shaolin Temple sent people to wait here in advance after hearing the news.

Under the leadership of the gray-robed monk, Murong Fu and his party had already seen the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple in just a cup of tea.

However, the main gate of the Shaolin Temple was already open to welcome visitors, and a short old monk was already waiting outside with the crowd.

After seeing Murong Fu and his entourage from a distance, the short old monk and others came forward to greet him in person, and at the same time said with a smile: "Master Murong has come to our temple, I am very honored!"

Murong Fu saw that the old monk had a kind face. Although he was short in stature, he carried the air of a master. Especially the man's breathing seemed to be non-existent, and his eyes had a restrained light, which was clearly a sign of profound internal skills.

"Master Fang Zheng is so polite!"

Murong Fu smiled slightly, rarely taking the initiative to offer his hand.

If the era of Jin Lao Jianghu were closer to modern times, the so-called martial arts masters in the Jianghu would have greatly retreated.

But Master Fang Zheng in front of him is an exception. As one of the few people in the Shaolin Temple's millennium who has deciphered the secrets of the Yi Jin Jing, he can even be ranked among the top ten eminent monks in the history of the Shaolin Temple.

However, what is more amazing than the so-called martial arts is the great wisdom of this abbot. The Five Mountains Sword Sect was at its peak and the Sun and Moon Sect was aggressive, but they could not escape the palm of Master Fang Zheng from beginning to end.

"Mr. Murong is here today to pay a visit in person. I would like to ask Mr. Rong to show his friendship as a landlord!"

After saying this, Master Fang Zheng stretched out his hand to guide Murong Fu himself.

Such solemn treatment made the several monks following Master Fang Zheng look strange. They had no idea why the abbot was treating Mr. Murong so politely!
  It should be noted that Fang Zheng’s seniority is that even the leader of the Wudang Sect, Taoist Chongxu, is a generation younger than him. However, today...

After personally welcoming Murong Fu and his entourage into the reception hall, Master Fang Zheng, after instructing the welcoming monks to serve him tea, suddenly said: "Murong is disrespectful to invite the old monk. Could it be that Young Master Murong is the 'Nan Murong' of the past?" Descendants?" Hearing what Master Fang Zheng said, Murong Fu just smiled and said nothing, but the two daughters A'Zhu and A Bi couldn't help but look at each other and almost laughed out loud, while Bao BuTong and Feng BoE also looked strange. .

Only Qu Feiyan looked at the changes in everyone's expressions with some confusion.

"Shaolin is indeed the ancestral home of Zen. Master Fang Zheng saw through my origin at a glance!"

After taking a sip of the fragrant tea, Murong Fu replied with a smile.

After seeing Master Fang Zheng reveal his origin, Murong Fu was not surprised, because the entanglement between the Murong family and the Shaolin Temple was too deep in the past.

The tragedy at Yanmen Pass not only caused the heroes of the Central Plains to kill good people by mistake, but also affected a series of public cases twenty years later.

My father, Murong Bo, deliberately faked the news and then faked his own death and sneaked into Shaolin to steal the seventy-two stunts of the Shaolin Temple. Later, because Xiao Yuanshan exposed Abbot Xuanci's affair, he forced the Shaolin abbot, who was a martial arts Beidou Taishan, to commit suicide on the spot. To save Shaolin’s thousand-year reputation.

After this incident, the Shaolin Temple, which regarded itself as the leader of the righteous path, was greatly embarrassed and was even forced to close the temple for a hundred years.

Perhaps the younger generation of Shaolin Temple did not know about such an encounter, but as the abbot of Shaolin Temple, how could Master Fang Zheng know nothing about it!

When the left leader of the Songshan Sect personally ordered his deputy Tang Ying'e to visit and inquire about the origins of Murong Fu and his party, Master Fang Zheng had already found out the origins from the ancient books of the Shaolin Temple.

But he didn't expect that before he could go out to visit him in person, Master Murong would show up uninvited in the Shaolin Temple.

"I dare to ask Mr. Murong, can Master Ren die in the hands of Mr. Murong?"

Seeing Murong Fu admitting his identity on the spot, Master Fang Zheng clasped his hands together and asked with a serious look on an important matter that concerned him the most.

"Not bad!"

Murong Fu nodded.

"Amitabha, Master Ren likes to fight and fight, which caused a bloody storm in the world. The old monk has always been worried that Master Ren will escape from trouble and cause unnecessary fighting in the world again."

After confirming that the news of Ren Woxing's death was true, Master Fang Zheng put his hands together and recited the Buddha's name, and couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing Master Fang Zheng's compassionate tone, Murong Fu just smiled and said nothing, without making any comments.

According to what Master Fang Zheng said, he might have already known that Ren Woxing was trapped under the West Lake, which again reminded him of the personal relationship between Huang Zhonggong and Master Fang Zheng.

In the past, it seemed that the Demon Cult was not responsible for Ren Woxing being trapped by Dongfang Bubai and imprisoned underground in the West Lake. It seemed that the Shaolin Temple was also involved.

"Master Fang Zheng, a wise man doesn't speak secretly. I'm going to visit you personally today because I want to borrow the books in your temple's collection to take a look!"

After saying this, Murong Fu smiled and stared at Master Fang Zheng in front of him.

If his request were made by any other abbot of Shaolin Temple in the past, he would not only be expelled from the temple on the spot, but would even lead to a big fight between the two parties.

But this is not the case with Master Fang Zheng in front of him. The various martial arts of Shaolin Temple are indeed precious, but compared with the inheritance of Shaolin Temple, they are not worth mentioning!
  Therefore, as early as in the original work, after Ren Woxing died suddenly and mysteriously, Master Fang Zheng personally visited Linghu Chong, and under the guise of Feng Qingyang, personally taught the Shaolin Temple's most precious book, the Yi Jin Jing, to Linghu Chong.

Before going to the Shaolin Temple, Murong Fu just made a guess in his mind. Now it seems that there is something fishy in this matter!
  Murong Fu even had an even more shocking guess in his mind, that is, the cause of Ren Woxing's death was probably related to Ren Yingying.

Ren Woxing was different from Dongfang Bubai. After he returned to the position of leader, he took over all the power. Even Ren Yingying lamented that her power was not as powerful as before.

And this is only one of them, the other is to save his lover Linghu Chong.

Even though Linghu Chong was a man of many faults, he still had a bit of backbone. In the end, he would rather die than join the Sun Moon God Sect.

Having said this, I have to sigh, the love between men and women in the world is still too magical. I am afraid that Ren Yingying herself did not expect that she would actually have true feelings for Linghu, who she initially regarded as a pawn.

"If Master Fang Zheng is willing to borrow the books collected by your temple to have a look, I would like to give you the Master Ren's Star-Absorbing Technique!"

Seeing that Master Fang Zheng seemed to be still silent, Murong Fu smiled again.

After hearing what Murong Fu said, Fang Zheng's expression seemed to change slightly at first, and then he saw him serious and said: "In the past, the ancestors of the Murong family once worshiped in our temple, and later became a generation of eminent monks. Today, Mr. Murong came to visit in person. Considering the relationship between the Murong family and our temple, the old monk must agree to the young master’s request.”

"But please, Mr. Murong, agree to the old monk's request!"

After a short pause, Master Fang Zheng said again.

Murong Fu said with a smile: "Master, please tell me!"

"Recently, there have been rumors in the world that the Eastern leader of the Sun Moon God Sect will fall off the cliff in the near future. The old monk begs the young master to help and resolve the unnecessary battle between the good and the evil religions for many years!"

After saying this, Master Fang Zheng clasped his hands together and saluted Murong Fu.

"As far as I know, Zuo Lengchan is in charge of the Wuyue Sword Sect, and the master has mastered the Yi Jin Jing, the most important treasure of the Shaolin Temple, so why should I meddle in it?"

Having already guessed what Master Fang Zheng was thinking, Murong Fu smiled slightly.

"Although the leader of the Zuo Alliance has high martial arts skills, he is far from the opponent of the Eastern leader. As for the old monk, although he was lucky enough to learn the Yi Jin Jing, the unique skill of our temple, he thinks he is far inferior to the Eastern leader!"

After Murong Fu revealed the fact that he was practicing the Yi Jin Jing, Master Fang Zheng still said calmly.

"From the old monk's point of view, the only person in the world who can quell this turmoil is Mr. Murong!"

Finally, in front of everyone, Master Fang Zheng once again took the initiative to salute and persuade Murong Fu.
