Golden Greenery

Three months after the Shaolin Temple martial artist conference, Yang Yi left Shaolin. After 35 years here, he has achieved his purpose of coming to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to read books, and has seen enough of the lively secrets here. It is time to continue the next step of his search.

But before leaving, Yang Yi did three things.

First, he rejected the request of the monks of the Xuan generation to let him serve as abbot. First of all, Yang Yi has no interest in this, and secondly, he doesn’t know how to do it. He has read Buddhist scriptures for decades and still only knows a few Buddhist verses without any understanding, so don’t embarrass yourself.

Abbot and abbot are the same thing, but in small temples, they are called abbots, and in large temples, they are called abbots. For large and prominent temples such as Shaolin Temple, Daxiangguo Temple, and White Horse Temple, their abbots still need to be officially canonized and officially certified as abbots.

After thinking about it, Yang Yi proposed that Monk Xuanji should be the abbot, and he stated that it was just a suggestion and did not mean to use seniority to pressure others. It's okay not to make a statement. After making the statement, no one dares to raise objections.

Xuanji once served as the master of both Luohan Academy and Wenshu Academy. Now he is the master of the Discipline Academy, which is very important in the Shaolin Temple. He is also the first of the Bodhidharma Academy of the Shaolin Martial Artist Group. He has sufficient qualifications, ability and strength.

Xuanji successfully became the abbot, and the Shaolin Temple also reported this incident to the Song Dynasty royal family, waiting for official approval in a step-by-step manner. In the precepts courtyard vacated by Xuanji after his promotion, Yang Yi recommended Monk Huifeng, a member of the Hui generation in the Sutra Pavilion.

Yang Yi stayed in the Sutra Pavilion for 35 years, and Hui Feng also served and fawned over him for 35 years. The young monk who was in his early twenties is now an old monk in his fifties. Only his flattery and diligence have not changed.

Raising a dog for 35 years will also develop feelings, so it is natural to give Hui Feng something in return.

The second thing happened, Yang Yi asked Abbot Xuanci and Master Hui Feng to order Xu Zhu, a descendant of the Xu family, to return to secular life and expel him from the temple.

In one day, Xu Zhu experienced enough ups and downs in life to write a book. This miserable ugly child really made Yang Yi feel heartbroken. He should leave the impoverished temple and enjoy a wonderful life in the world of mortals to compensate for himself, instead of just growing vegetables and carrying water in the ancient scrolls of green lanterns.

It would be impossible for Xu Zhu not to return to secular life. His biological father is the former abbot of Shaolin Temple, and everyone would be embarrassed if he stayed here again. Moreover, Xu Zhu's status outside the mountain is very high now, he is the leader of Xiaoyao Sect and the master of Lingjiu Palace in Tianshan Mountain.

The Xiaoyao sect founded by Xiaoyao's son Li Xiaoyao can be divided into two types: the narrow sense and the broad sense. The narrow sense refers to the sect located on the Piaomiao Peak of Tianshan Mountain, but the broad sense of the Xiaoyao sect has far-reaching influence.

Li Xiaoyao traveled around the Central Plains and taught martial arts to many people. He had many named, anonymous, and even half-way disciples, including the Duan family of the Dali royal family, whose martial arts came from his teachings. These people or forces can be regarded as in a broad sense Xiaoyao faction.

The Lingjiu Palace also controls the thirty-six cave masters and the seventy-two island masters in Jianghu. Although they are all small miscellaneous fish, and they are just called this, they are not really thirty-six and seventy-two, but their numbers are There are many but there is no doubt that these cannot be ignored either.

How could Xu Zhu be an unknown little monk in Shaolin Temple? I'm afraid even being the abbot wouldn't be able to let him go. What's more, his master Yang Yi's words completely aroused his thoughts of looking for 'Menggu', a mandarin duck and a butterfly flying together, and his heart was already fluttering.

Xuanci, the "Arhat Who Crouched the Tiger," was the number one love monk in the Song Dynasty. His son must be a lover after all.

Xu Zhu returned to secular life. He asked Master Yang Yi to give him a lay name, and said that he wanted to have the same lay name as his master.

Yang Yi was in a dilemma. He didn't even know his own surname. He couldn't let Xu Zhu follow the impersonating Yang Wulang and his surname was Yang. It was outrageous. Therefore, he could only give Xu Zhuzi a 'son', just like Xiaoyaozi and Wuyazi, just call him Xu Zhuzi. The name is just a code name anyway.

His parents were lost and lost again, and Xu Zhu regarded his master Yang Yi as his only relative. He said he wanted to stay with Yang Yi in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion for a year or two before returning to secular life and coming down the mountain, but Yang Yi forcibly drove him away.

Xu Zhu's sworn brothers Xiao Feng and Duan Yu invited him to go to Xixia with them. Yang Yi thought it was a good idea. Going on an excursion with his good brothers would undoubtedly relieve the grief of losing his parents as quickly as possible.

After kowtowing several times, Xu Zhu turned his head three times and walked down Shaoshi Mountain.

Yang Yi drove Xu Zhu away early because he wanted to do the third thing before leaving - murder.

Yang Yi had to kill Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo. On that day when they revealed their identities and revealed all their secrets, these two people were already dead in Yang Yi's eyes. This ending did not change because of their repentance.

Needless to say, Murong Bo is the initiator of all conspiracies. The grievances and chaos in the Central Plains martial arts community for more than thirty years are all due to his selfish interests. For the vague dream of restoring Dayan to the country, Murong Bo killed too many people and broke countless families. If he doesn't die, there will be no justice in this world.

Xiao Yuanshan seemed to be a poor victim, but he deserved to die. There is nothing wrong with avenging his wife's murder. If it were Yang Yi, he would do the same thing. It is understandable no matter how many enemies he kills.

But killing Xiao Feng's adoptive parents Qiao Sanhuai and his wife was a bit too much.

After the 'leading brother' Xuan Ci led everyone to intercept and kill Xiao Yuanshan's family outside Yanmen Pass, he later realized that he was wrong and was maliciously misled by Murong Bo. Therefore, both Shaolin and the Beggar Clan have tried their best to raise and train Xiao Feng to make up for their inner guilt.

Xiao Feng's martial arts was personally taught by Wang Jiantong, the leader of the Shaolin Temple and the Beggar Clan. When he became an adult, he became the leader of the largest gang in the Song Dynasty.

But Xiao Yuanshan had an unforgettable hatred for the Song Dynasty, and his revenge was very vicious and insidious, which exceeded the bottom line of being a human being.

It is only right to kill the enemy in the battle of Yanmenguan. It is understandable to kill the monks and other martial artists related to this. Jianghu is about Jianghu. Yang Yi could barely accept killing the honest and simple Qiao Sanhuai and his wife.

Even if Xiao Yuanshan killed the newborn Xu Zhu to vent his anger, Yang Yi would still reluctantly think that he was a passionate murderer.

But taking the infant Xu Zhu away from Ye Erniang and putting it back in the Shaolin Temple and under the nose of Xuanci who didn't know it was an extremely vicious and cruel abnormal psychology. If he doesn't kill him, Yang Yang will be sorry for himself and his disciple Xu Zhu.

If repentance can make others forgive you for all your crimes, this kind of forgiveness is worthless, and even forgiveness itself becomes a sin.

Moreover, Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo are now repentant. Who can guarantee that they will not do evil again in the future? If Yang Yi were here, he could suppress them, but Yang Yi didn't have time to accompany them to pretend to chant Buddha's name and atone for their sins.

The martial arts prowess of these two men is so amazing that if they do evil again in the future, they will bring devastating damage to the martial arts of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, Sheep made up his mind early on to avoid future troubles and eliminate harm for the people.

Yang Yi allowed Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo to repent, but since you are committed to the Buddha, I will send you to the Buddha and repent to him face to face. You can repent however you want, to what extent you want, and for as long as you want.

Xu Zhu is too naive and always thinks the best of people. He can't understand this, so just carry him behind his back and let him continue to retain his childlike innocence in this complicated world.

Abbot Xuanji and Zen Master Huifeng of the Discipline Academy are both Jianghu people who have a deep understanding of people's hearts. They understand Yang Yi's decision very well. Monks don't kill, so let Yang Yi, a fake monk, do it. In the entire Shaolin Temple, only the three of them knew about this matter.

With two bowls of clear soup and one bottle of wild goose sand, Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo, who were unprepared and respectful to the sheep, died quietly.

After that, it was spread in the world that two monks, Liao Chen and Wu Sheng of Shaolin Temple, studied Buddhism with eminent monks in the Sutra Pavilion all day long, never leaving the courtyard and never seeing outsiders.

Twenty years later, no one still remembers this incident.

Apart from Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo, there is another person who must die, and that is Ding Chunqiu who is imprisoned in the dungeon.

The Xiaoyao sect founded by his beloved disciple Li Xiaoyao was almost completely destroyed by Ding Chunqiu. It was impossible for Yang Yi not to kill him.

Ding Chunqiu's death method was relatively simple. He was strangled to death by a sheep.
