Chapter 338 Chu Pingsheng: I heard you are very heroic?
Double Ninth Festival, September 9th.
The title is red leaves and clear water flowing in the ditch, and people admiring the yellow flowers are drunk in the singing tower. The sky is long, the shadows of wild geese are sparse, the moon is setting and the mountains are thin, it is deserted and clear in late autumn. The willow tree and the cicada are filled with sorrow. Who is willing to teach white clothes to serve wine?
Ordinary people in the world, drinking wine together during festivals, but Shaolin Temple is different. In such a common festival, everything is business as usual.
But today’s Double Ninth Festival is completely different from before.
The difference in Xu Zhu's eyes was not that his great uncles and great uncles from the Xuan generation came out in full force to the Shanmen Square, but that the monk Yuan Gen who supervised his work used to be assigned the task of carrying dung and water, which only amounted to ten or twenty buckets a day. Today, the amount was doubled, and he was asked to pick out forty barrels. If he didn’t pick enough, he couldn’t sleep.
"Xu Zhu, what are you doing? Are you lazy again?" A monk with a fat head and big ears and a hairy black mole on the right corner of his mouth walked into the vegetable garden with a whip, pointed to the water vat and took a drink from it Xu Zhu, who was in the water, shouted loudly: "How many buckets have you picked up now? Are you so tired?"
"Master Yuangen...senior brother."
Xu Zhu quickly threw away the bucket. Next, take the time to dump the excrement water.
"Stop." Monk Yuangen shouted from behind. Seeing that he was just hesitant, he didn't make up his mind immediately. Without saying a word, he took two steps at a trot and raised his hand to whip: "I let you Stop, didn’t you hear?”
Snap.
The whip struck Xu Zhu's back, making the young monk tremble and show pain on his face.
“Speak, do you hear me?”
Pa.
Yuan Gen whipped Xu Zhu again, the tip of the whip hit his arm, he grinned in pain and kept rubbing it.
"I heard it, I heard it."
"Louder."
"I heard it."
Crack.
He received another whipping.
Xu Zhu couldn't understand, he had already agreed loudly, why was he still being beaten?
How did he know that Yuan Gen simply wanted to whip him, no matter whether he agreed loudly or quietly, the whip would not be spared.
"Senior brother...you...did...drink..."
When Yuan Gen came around, Xu Zhu felt a smell of alcohol coming towards his face.
Crack.
Another whip went down.
"Who did you say drank? Ah, let me ask you, did I drink?"
Yuan Gen was almost close to Xu Zhu's face, and the thin smell of alcohol was making people nauseous.
"This...doesn't it smell like alcohol?"
Any other monk would have surrendered and asked for mercy, but Xu Zhu is stubborn and thinks that he is right, but of course he can't do it. Referring to a deer as a horse, confusing right and wrong.
Or he would be punished to work in the vegetable garden. Half a year ago, when Hui Jing came down from Leigu Mountain and told the story of what happened on the way to deliver the hero's letter, Xuanji, the head of the Discipline Academy, asked him what he thought of the empty monk, and he told him sincerely. These words that sounded like an empty monk suddenly aroused public outrage, and he was punished to do hard work in the vegetable garden for half a year.
If you count the time, today is the last day of your "sentence".
“You dare to talk nonsense!”
Yuangen was furious. He took two steps back this time, used all his strength, raised his whip and whipped him hard.
He originally disliked this little monk who was not very smart and had no eyesight. After learning that Xu Zhu was punished to do hard work in the vegetable garden because he sided with Monk Void, the guy who bullied his master and destroyed his ancestors, he bullied him. Naturally, he became even more unscrupulous. Today is the last day of Xu Zhu's "sentence", so he must treat him well and hold a unique farewell party for this ignorant guy.
Just as he was watching the whip with full strength was about to fall on Xu Zhu's shoulder, a figure suddenly appeared from diagonally downwards. The power of the whip, which was carried by the wind, was reduced, and it landed there limply like a dead snake. People's palms.
Yuangen took a closer look and realized that the man who caught the whip was a monk like him, but the beeswax beads on his chest were very eye-catching and worth a lot of money at first glance. What’s even more exaggerated is that The monk was also holding a seven or eight-year-old cutie in his arms, with red lips and white teeth, a fluttering plain skirt, and a face so tender that it could almost bleed.
It is not surprising that there are monks in Shaolin Temple, but it is strange that there is a girl. And who is this person? How could you catch his whip with your bare hands?
Xu Zhu waited for a long time with his eyes closed but didn't see the whip fall. When he opened his eyes, he was stunned.
"Master...junior brother?"
Yuan Gen was awakened by his "junior brother", thinking that Xu Zhu's junior brother must not have a high status in the Shaolin Temple.
“You are a monk who does not abide by the rules and precepts. You actually brought a girl into the temple. If I don’t teach you a lesson today, you may not know how powerful I am.”
The whip was used. Yuan Gen picked up a ring stick under the eaves and threw it at the new monk's back. Unexpectedly, the other monk did not move, but the sleeves of his robe were slightly raised, and an invisible energy surged forward, sending the whole person flying backwards. , hit hard into the pile of wood that was used to hold the vegetable rack earlier. I felt that all the bones in my body were scattered. I was so sore that I couldn't get up no matter how hard I climbed. "Junior Brother Xukong, please be merciful." Xu Zhu said after realizing it.
Junior Brother Void?
Yuan Gen's body was injured, but his ears were not deaf. When he heard "Junior Brother Kong", his expression changed drastically, and he stammered: "Monster...monk Kong?"
Why was Xu Zhu punished to do hard labor in the vegetable garden? ? All the monks in the Shaolin Temple knew that he spoke well of Monk Kong Kong in front of the abbot and the head of the Discipline Academy.
Nowadays, the new monk regards the rules and precepts of Shaolin Temple as nothing, his skills are very strong, and he is called "Junior Brother Void" by Xu Zhu. If he is not the demon monk Void, who else could he be?
Chu Pingsheng looked at Monk Yuangen as he looked at a dead person: "This kind of scum should be killed."
"Grandpa Kongku, have mercy on me, Grandpa Kongku, have mercy on me."
Monk Yuangen had just been hit hard, and now that he heard that Chu Pingsheng was going to kill him, he didn't know where he got the strength to push away the wood that was pressing him, and fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly.
Xuzhu has low martial arts skills and low seniority. He can be bullied without any pressure. He is different from an empty monk. He is a traitor who deceives his master and destroys his ancestors. If he is killed by a vegetable garden guard, it is not like crushing an ant to death. Simple?
"Okay, for the sake of your plea for mercy, I will spare his life." Chu Pingsheng said to Xu Zhu, who was a little thinner than when we met at Leigushan: "You have lost weight. "
"Maybe... Kuxia."
Xu Zhu touched his bare head and stared curiously at the little cutie in Chu Pingsheng's arms. After a long while, those eyes that were as bright as the stars suddenly shot out a fierce light, making him take a big step back.
Bitter summer?
Just looking at what Monk Yuan Gen did, it is strange that the reason for the weight loss was the bitter summer.
“Follow me.”
Chu Pingsheng grabbed his wrist and walked out of the vegetable garden.
"Junior brother, I can't do it. Uncle Xuanji asked me to do hard work in the vegetable garden. Today is the last day. I still have thirty buckets of manure to pick up. I can't go anywhere until I finish."< br>
This Xu Zhu is really stubborn.
Generally, those who bully the weak and fear the strong will cause trouble. Monk Yuangen quickly responded from behind: "Junior Brother Xu Zhu, there is no need to be embarrassed. I will pick up the remaining excrement...I will pick up..."
"But..."
"No, but, don't you want to know who your parents are?"
"My parents?"
Chu Pingsheng smiled meaningfully and pulled Xu Zhu away who was full of doubts.
……
The other side.
The square in front of the Shaolin Temple was filled with people from all over the country who came to attend the hero meeting. They were wearing various costumes and holding different weapons. There were hundreds of them.
Sima Lin of the Qingcheng Sect, Zhu Baokun of the Penglai Sect, Yao Bodang of Qinjiazhai in Yunzhou, Longmen Clan, Tengyun Village, Junshan Sect, etc. all responded to Xuanci's request and sent people Be present and participate.
The elders of the Beggar Clan were bullied, and now Quan Guanqing has taken the position of leader of the Beggar Clan. He is surrounded by a group of newly promoted sycophants. They don’t know what they are talking about, and from time to time they look at Jiu, who is competing with Xuanji for Tianzhu Buddha’s finger. Mozhi looked at it twice and muttered something under his breath.
Murong Fu and Wang Yuyan also arrived, and they seemed very deserted. However, the presence of the four villains eased his embarrassment, and he hurriedly took his cousin to greet him and meet his adoptive father. Shao Wulin people speculated about the relationship between the two.
Duan Zhengchun and Dao Baifeng stood on the high ground opposite the four evil men. Gu Ducheng and Fu Sigui stood in front, back, left and right, protecting their prince and princess in the middle to avoid being attacked by the four evil men. multiplied by.
"Don't be too nervous. Now that Zen Master Kurong and three Zen masters Bencan, Benguan and Benxiang are present, Duan Yanqing and others dare not make any mistakes. By the way, you know the person behind Abbot Xuanci Who is the eminent monk wearing nine cassocks and having shoulder-length eyebrows?"
Fu Sigui and others shook their heads.
At this time, two women in black clothes wearing silk hats came from behind. The leading one said: "If I guessed correctly, that should be the abbot of Qingliang Temple in Wutai Mountain. He is from Shenshan Mountain. Xuanci is called Fuhu Arhat, and His strength is still higher than that of Xuanci, and he is known as the Dragon-Subduing Arhat. However, I heard that the relationship between the Holy Mountain and the Shaolin Temple is not good. Why does he seem to be helping him this time? In order to deal with the empty monk, he He must have spent a lot of money."
"Red cotton?"
Duan Zhengchun was overjoyed when he heard the person's identity, but when he looked at Dao Baifeng, his expression immediately changed.
He was very worried that his wife would be so jealous that he would not be able to step down, but the beautiful princess didn’t know what she was thinking, and her attention was not on him at all. He couldn’t help but breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she was still very sensible. Know how to save face for your husband in public.
Da da da…
At this time, accompanied by the rapid sound of horse hooves, dust was flying in the north. Two disciples of the Taishan Sect, wearing coarse cloth shirts and holding short halberds, were the first to recognize the person.
"Qiao Feng...no, it's...it's Xiao Feng, the king of the South Court of the Liao Dynasty, here!"
