I Honor

Rewards and “Punishments”

The cold wind passed by the cliff, like a bone-scraping steel knife. Even though he changed into a thick monk robe and jacket, Meng Qi was still shivering from the cold. severe cold.The road leading to the back mountain has three steps, one post, and five steps, one sentry. Even those cliff edges that no one can pass through are guarded by monks, and Meng Qi, Zhenhui, and Zhending are arranged on a road leading directly to the back mountain. In front of the narrow road, there are cliffs on both sides, and dark dense forests on the left and right.

“Brother, are there bone spirits and spider spirits in the back mountain?” Zhenhui has not yet opened up his dantian, his internal strength is growing slowly, and he is jumping lightly in the cold. up.

“Bone Essence Spider Essence” Zhenyong was stunned for a moment, and then turned his gaze to Meng Qi, who looked like you were telling such a strange story to your junior again.

Meng Qi laughed. Apart from practicing martial arts hard to deal with the pressure of life and death in the world of reincarnation, this was his only pleasure: “Since Brother Zhenmiao said it was a demon, then there must be goblins.”

He still doesn’t know much about this aspect, so he deliberately proposed to see if Zhenyong can answer one or two questions.

Zhenyong also looked at the end of the narrow road in a daze, and said to himself: “How many people have seen the real monsters and ghosts? Since the era of monsters and chaos in the land, the monsters have disappeared. At least we ordinary people seldom see them. It’s just that there are occasional rumors about a scholar encountering a fox demon, and an expert who suppresses a snake spirit, hehe, I haven’t seen it anyway.”

Meng Qi nodded, and didn’t ask any further questions, because Zhenyong didn’t seem to know much.

The night is long and the wind is getting colder and colder. Zhenhui has already found a stone and meditated cross-legged, and Zhenyong also walks back and forth to relieve the severe cold.

Because it had been quiet all the time, and there were eminent monks from Bodhidharma and Bodhi Schools guarding behind him, Meng Qi gradually put his mind on the last step of the eight steps of God’s Walk. Trembling, the mind is cleared, a flash of inspiration, all kinds of obstacles are figured out.

After figuring out the key to the last step of the Eight Steps of Divine Walking, Meng Qi was so excited that he couldn’t wait to practice.

Although Zhenyong “knows” that he has family martial arts, Meng Qi is still not used to practicing footwork directly, unless he uses saber techniques to cover it up, but the movement is too loud, and he is easy to be spotted by Zhenmiao and others who are patrolling around, and he will be scolded.

Looking around, Meng Qi covered his stomach and said to Zhen Yong: “Senior brother, my stomach hurts, I need to make it easier, I will trouble you here.”

When he was in the Sutra Pavilion, Zhenyong had this experience several times, and it was not surprising, he said with a smile: “Go, if Brother Zhenmiao and the others come over, I will explain it to you.”

Holding the Jiedao, Meng Qi rushed into the forest in front of him in twos and threes, not daring to go too far, and started to practice footwork around the giant trees on the side next to the cliff.

The “Eight Steps of God’s Walk” is exquisite and weird, and it is dark at night, making Meng Qi appear like a ghost, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

“That’s right, that’s true.” After practicing for a few laps, Meng Qi nodded in satisfaction and decided to return.

Just as he was about to take a step, he suddenly heard a slight rattling sound coming from the cliff, and suddenly he tensed up, and he slid silently and hid behind a big tree.

“Luck can’t be like this, isn’t it guarded by uncles and brothers in the inner layer, and it’s separated by a thick cliff?” Meng Qi’s first instinct was monsters and ghosts.

He peeked out, and saw a big hole in the cliff beside a slightly red boulder, and a figure came out vigilantly.

The figure groped for a certain position behind the boulder, and the rattling sound reappeared, and the stone wall slowly closed.

“The escape passage dug out by the demons and ghosts secretly,” Meng Qi guessed bitterly, regretting why he entered the forest

He originally thought that there are at most wild animals here, and the winter is so cold that the wild animals will not come out to move around, so it is a safe and safe place, but he encountered such a stupid thing

The figure turned around and was about to run to the other side of the forest.

But at this time, Meng Qi could clearly see the face of this figure under the dim moonlight.

He, Meng Qi, was startled and stunned, and almost shouted out loud, but finally bit his lip to hold back.

The person who came out from the back mountain turned out to be Zhenguan

The Zhenguan who attacked himself and suffered from the hopelessness of revenge

“Hasn’t he been expelled from the mountain gate a long time ago?” Meng Qi thought suspiciously. On this point, he believed that Xuan Xin had not lied to himself, because the mantra he made in the handyman’s courtyard said that he hadn’t seen the true view since that day. .

Meng Qi didn’t make a move, and watched Zhen Guan go away, because he thought to himself that his own strength was far from enough to mix in things with ghosts and ghosts.

“People have to be self-aware, not everyone is the protagonist,” Meng Qi slandered.

If I rashly opened the secret path, after entering, I am afraid that I will not get adventures such as monster beast inner alchemy, monster clan magic skills, etc., but will be killed directly, swallowed flesh and blood, or turned into a puppet. After all, the former is the treatment only “protagonist” has , and I don’t seem to have this kind of “luck halo” at the moment.

He quietly withdrew from the forest, and decided to find someone capable of handling the matter to check it out. Although he had made up his mind to return to vulgarity a long time ago, at least he was still in the Shaolin Temple. .

“Junior Brother Zhending, you’ve had a bad stomach.” Seeing Meng Qi’s late return, Zhenyong joked amusedly.

Meng Qi said with a serious face: “Brother Zhending, something strange happened to me when I had diarrhea, and I’m afraid I have to report it to the senior uncles and uncles in the inner circle.””

“Ah, set off the fireworks soon.” Zhenyong was startled, rolled his eyes, and asked Meng Qi to send an emergency signal without asking what the matter was.

The corner of Meng Qi’s mouth twitched. This senior brother Zhenyong, who is usually enthusiastic, cheerful and generous, is quite cunning at critical moments. He actually didn’t ask anything, trying to stay out of the matter.

He didn’t care about Zhenyong’s small thoughts, but decided to secretly guard against him. At this time, Zhenhui rushed ahead of him, took out a small bamboo tube from his arms, pointed it at the sky, and opened the lid.

With a whoosh, a red light shot up into the sky, exploding into a brilliant scene in mid-air.

“Junior brother is indeed a man of action. He sent out the signal without asking anything.” Meng Qi wiped off his cold sweat, and stood in front of Zhenhui with a knife in his hand, guarding against possible attacks.

After two or three breaths, Meng Qi’s eyes blurred, and he saw a handsome but melancholy middle-aged monk. He was wearing a yellow monk’s robe and a red cassock, holding a string of black beads carved with Buddha images in his right hand. .

“Yellow monk’s robe, red cassock, which courtyard’s head or elder is this?” Meng Qi opened his mouth to address him, but he froze when he reached the point of his mouth. Should he be called Master Uncle or Master Uncle? Grand Master Uncle himself doesn’t even know him , this seniority is so nerve-wracking.

However, Meng Qi felt a little more at ease when he saw such high-ranking monks coming.

The middle-aged monk came with a dignified face, but after seeing the calm and calm here, his face also softened. Seeing Meng Qi hesitated, he guessed what he was struggling with, and smiled slightly: “The old monk’s name is Xuan Bei, why did you just now?” Send out emergency fireworks”

The generation of Xuan is already the head or the elder. Meng Qi was taken aback, but he still suppressed his inner turmoil, and said the words he had thought over and over just now: “Uncle Xuan Bei, just now the disciple went to the forest to have a rest. A secret door appeared on the cliff”

Xuan Bei listened to Meng Qi’s narration with a calm expression, nodded slightly and said, “You did a good job, you didn’t act recklessly and didn’t hide anything. You are sure that figure is the Zhenguan who was expelled from the mountain gate before.”

“The disciple recognized his appearance, but I don’t know if it was transformed by a monster.” Meng Qi answered honestly.

After Xuan Bei asked clearly about the location of the secret door and the surrounding features, he ordered: “Wait a while and follow Xuan Chi back to the monk’s house, and leave the matter here to the old monk.”

“Yes, Uncle Xuan Bei.” Meng Qi was eager to leave here, and now he was always worried that there would be ghosts and ghosts escaping from the nearby darkness.

Xuan Bei didn’t move his feet or sway, and suddenly disappeared in place, and flashed on the edge of the forest. There was a faint sound of Zen chanting around him, and a little bit of Buddha’s light shone, solemn and sacred, transcending the mundane, like an Arhat Bodhisattva descending.

“Is this the strength that is close to the peak of location?” Looking at the direction where Xuan Bei disappeared, Zhenyong muttered to himself.

Meng Qi looked at him in astonishment: “Brother Zhenyong, you know this uncle.”

Zhenyong came back to his senses, and said with emotion: “Except for the uncle Xuan Chi and Xuanku who I see every day, I don’t recognize other uncles, but this uncle Xuanbei has a very good reputation. Brother Zhenchang mentioned it.”

Zhenchang, Meng Qi, the head of the three major disciples of the Zhenzi generation, knows Zhenchang, and it is said that he is a little bit more powerful than Zhenmiao and Zhenben.

Zhenyong continued: “Uncle Xuan Bei was originally a top master in the world, nicknamed Qi Jue Shou, but later he suffered a misfortune and was wiped out all over his family. Although he avenged himself in the end, the other party has a deep background and has a master.” High-level people came to take him. He was already disheartened, and this matter pushed him, so he escaped into my Shaolin, devoted himself to Buddhism, and broke the ties of the world, the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng.”

“Because of his outstanding talent and his dedication to the Buddha, he was valued by the abbot master. He accepted disciples on his behalf and made an exception to make him a direct successor. He learned the Moke Fumoquan. He is also extraordinary. Entered the ranks of masters, and later became the first eminent monk of Xuanzi’s generation to step into the Eighth Heaven, only one step away from the peak.”

“This kind of character is always full of legends,” Meng Qi quietly thought, while Zhen Hui listened with gusto.

Afterwards, Zhen Miao and others rushed over, and there were many yellow-clothed monks whom Meng Qi didn’t know, and the three of them were led back to the Wu Monk Academy by Xuan Chi.

The next morning, just as Meng Qi was about to go out to practice calligraphy and inquire about the outcome of the matter, because he was guarding the back mountain the day before and did not have to get up early to carry water, the door was pushed open, and the shady-looking monk Xuankong walked in. Followed Shinyoung who was downcast.

“Yesterday your discovery made a certain conspiracy of the back mountain monster fail, and the Bodhi Court will reward you, but it is estimated that it will be a few days later.” Xuankong said with a smile on his face, “But it is true that your guard will give you a reward.” During Taoism, if you leave your post without permission, the Discipline Academy has no choice but to punish you, and combined with the merits of this time, it will punish you to face the wall in the meditation room for three days.”

But facing the wall for three days, Meng Qi let out an oh, and didn’t care much about this punishment, because it was too light, and it was just time to calm down and sharpen his internal strength.

He is looking forward to the reward from the Bodhi Court, will it be one of the seventy-two stunts?

Three days later, Meng Qi finished facing the wall with the dinner he brought, and opened the door with ease and joy.

“Uh, little junior brother, why are you not happy?” Meng Qi ran into Zhen Hui who had just returned after leaving the house.

Zhenhui said angrily: “Today, senior uncles and uncles came to pick out disciples, but senior brother, you were punished to face the wall and cannot get out.”

Meng Qi’s face became gloomy all at once. It turned out that the purpose was this

because the previousRespect, I’m still the elder brother in the Discipline Academy

He narrowed his eyes, and said to Zhenhui calmly, “Let’s go to the Great Hall of Martial Arts.”

Although Meng Qi didn’t really want to be a teacher, it would be difficult to leave Shaolin like that, but facing this situation, he still wouldn’t be happy.

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Qi suddenly saw two lines of writing written on the thin snow in the courtyard:

“Second Reincarnation Opens”

“Please be mentally prepared. When you open it again in the future, you will not be informed, and you will directly pull in.”:
