    "Godfather, you are abnormal!" Yang Ruonan tilted her neck and looked hard at Xiao Yuesheng, as if wanting to see into his godfather's heart, his clear eyes full of questions.

    In Yang Ruonan's opinion, his godfather teaching people martial arts is like the sun rising in the west. As long as he can remember, he never remembers that his godfather has taught others martial arts in a serious way.

    "Little girl, clean up the chessboard quickly!" Xiao Yuesheng scolded her in a disgraceful way, flicked her snow-white mink hat, and refused to answer her words.

    Yang Ruonan wrinkled his nose, pouted his cherry lips, and without asking any more questions, he brought the two sandalwood boxes to his hand. With the movement of his body's power, his jade hands suddenly became a bit whiter, and on the dim purple chessboard  , countless palm shadows cover it, making it dizzying.

    The slight "pop" sound was clear and sweet, as dense as rain hitting plantains. In the blink of an eye, there were no more chess pieces on the chessboard, and they were all placed in two round sandalwood boxes.

    "Alas, you are lazy!" Although Xiao Yuesheng sighed, there was a smile in the corner of his eyes, and he put what he had learned into practice. The little girl was quite impressed by her own spirit.

    Both the chessboard and the wooden box disappeared in his hands. The two people dressed in snow-white fur clothes stepped out of the stone pavilion and walked slowly upward along the forest path, letting the cold wind push them from behind.

    In front of the Shaolin Temple, under the steps of the temple gate, there is an open and flat land with towering ancient pines, vigorous and lush. The stone tablets have survived the erosion of the years and still stand, showing the honor of Shaolin.

    When going up the mountain, Xiao Yuesheng took out a shiny black mink hat and asked Yang Ruonan to replace the hat on his head.

    It turned out to be a snow-white tiger-shaped mink hat. The gemstones were the eyes of a tiger, which was quite similar. But when she put it on her head, she looked too cute and cute. When she put on the black and shiny hat, her temperament suddenly changed.  , her refined temperament became more and more compelling, and coupled with her cold appearance, she looked much more mature.

    As soon as Yang Ruonan arrived in front of the temple, he ran to the stone tablet and looked at the stone tablet erected by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. He read every word carefully.

    Xiao Yuesheng let Yang Ruonan look around. He stood with his hands behind the towering ancient pine tree surrounded by two people. He looked at the ancient pine tree and used his eyesight to observe its annual rings and explore its meridians.  .

    In the gray sky, Shaolin Temple, the first master of the Luohan Hall, the colorless master, is sitting cross-legged in the quiet Zen room. Under the light above his head in the empty room, his rough face is peaceful and peaceful. He has entered the realm of emptiness and silence, and is dim and dim.  Peace of mind.

    Suddenly, the universe seemed to be born in my mind. A bright spot appeared in the void of my mind. It was as bright as the sun. After a moment, it exploded violently. From stillness to movement, wind and clouds surged, visions appeared, and a hazy image became more and more vivid.  It was clearly revealed that it was the face of an ordinary-looking middle-aged man with a smile.

    This face seems to have been familiar before, the burly Master Wu Se thought secretly, searching the memories deep in his mind, and always felt that he had found something.

    "Master Wu Se, you are well! Xiao sent me to visit Shaolin. There is some disturbance!" The man smiled casually, with a slender mustache and an indescribable coolness and calmness.

    "Xiao, Xiao" Master Wu Se was shocked, still thinking hard, and suddenly realized, it was actually him?  !

    He suddenly woke up from the silence, kicked off his legs, and jumped up from the futon made of reeds. The image in his mind was still clear and unchanged.

    "Master, please come to the temple for guidance." The man's warm smile confirmed the identity of the visitor.

    Except for Yang Daxia¡¯s eldest brother, there is probably no one else in the world who can fight each other in such a strange way.

    Master Wu Se suddenly looked ecstatic, forgetting all about the eight Buddhist precepts of suffering, laughed loudly, and sighed: "The sky has eyes¡ª¡ª!" and walked out.

    "Junior Brother Wuxiang, Junior Brother Wuxiang¡ª¡ª!" Master Wuse had a rugged appearance, his head was shiny, and he still had a strong aura. At this time, he flicked his monk's robe, opened the door of the Zen room, and shouted loudly into the courtyard.  The greeting was so loud that half of the Shaolin Temple could hear it.

    "Brother, why are you summoned?" A thin elder with a rugged figure quietly appeared in front of the Zen room and asked in a low voice. He was wearing a dark gray short jacket, which was a training uniform, and a long wooden sword was attached to the back of his arm.

    "Come on, let's go meet a distinguished guest!" Master Wu Color stepped out of the Zen room, shook the sleeves of his wide robe, turned around and walked out in a great hurry.

    Master Wuxiang was very helpless towards this senior brother who had a hot temper, was fierce and resolute, but also rough and subtle. His temperament was gentle, one was strong and the other was soft, but the two of them got along very harmoniously.

    The monk's robes were fluttering. Master Wuxiang followed closely behind his senior brother and asked unhurriedly: "Who is this distinguished guest, senior brother?"

    "It's Master Xiao, Haha, junior brother, you still remember, last year, Dharma King Pasiba of the Sakya Sect in the Western Regions ran away"Challenge in the temple.  "

    Master Wu Se walked hard, as fast as a shooting star. In the blink of an eye, he had left the Luohan Hall and walked towards the martial arts training ground where hums and haha ??could be heard endlessly. He wanted to pass through the green brick-paved martial arts training ground and go to the main entrance of the Shaolin Temple.  As he walked, his voice lowered, even lower than the thump of his feet on the bricks.

    "Ah, remember, that Pasiba is not a simple person! Junior brother, I am absolutely no match for him Fortunately, two female donors suddenly appeared at that time and frightened him away, saving us a lot of trouble.  ."

    Master Wuxiang has profound internal skills, so he can naturally hear the words of his senior brother clearly. His thin face was slightly startled, and his eyes that were slightly sunk in his eyes were hazy, as if he was thinking about it. He praised in his mouth, and thought of those two beautiful figures again in his mind.  Like a fairy, coming like a rippling wave.

    "Haha, do you remember Mr. Xiao's junior brother? He has come to our Shaolin Temple again and is about to ask me to greet him!" Master Wu Se kept scanning his eyes at the monks practicing hard on both sides of the avenue, laughing.  road.

    "Is it him?Senior brother, we should inform the head senior brother first!" Master Wuxiang stopped immediately, frowned his two light eyebrows, and said to Master Wuse, who turned to look at him.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????

    "No need?" Master Wu Se touched his shiny forehead, but his expression was a little hesitant.

    He was just startled by the vision in his mind, and also shocked by the identity of the visitor, because in the past few days, he had been thinking about this person. He didn't expect that Cao Cao would arrive.  It's time for rain!

    He was ecstatic in his heart, and on impulse, after being reminded by Junior Brother Wuxiang, he also felt that it would be better for the Head Senior Brother to greet him personally.

    "Senior brother, you go first, I will inform the head brother!" Seeing his expression, Master Wuxiang knew that he was speaking harshly, and he already agreed in his heart, so he turned around and walked directly to the abbot's courtyard, his feet silent and erratic like a shadow.

    "Haha, Master Xiao is here. I am sorry for the delay in greeting you from afar!"

    With two creaks, the temple door opened. Master Wu Se laughed and walked out. Stepping out of the temple door, he suddenly stood still and saluted Xiao Yueshengheshi who was standing under the ancient pine tree with a smile, and then went to  As he walked down, his expression was extremely enthusiastic, high-spirited, and heroic. He really didn't look like a monk meditating in meditation.

    Xiao Yuesheng's Qiu Yi Shengxue, graceful and chic, he smiled with his hands, and his voice smiled clearly: "Dare not be a time, Xiao came to disturb, the master should not see the strangeness!"

    Master Wu Se laughed loudly as he walked, descended more than thirty bluestone steps, and came to Xiao Yuesheng and Yang Ruonan.

    Master Wuse strode forward without any disciples behind him. He came to Xiao Yuesheng alone. When he saw an unparalleled beauty clinging to Master Xiao, he couldn't help but praise loudly: "Haha Madam Ling is extremely beautiful and talented.  , they are truly a perfect match, a match made in heaven!"

    Yang Ruonan's jade-like face suddenly became as delicate and beautiful as a rose blooming. She spat softly, not daring to raise her head, and almost retracted her jade face into the plush collar of her mink fur coat.

    Xiao Yuesheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, waving his hand and saying: "Master made a mistake. She is my second brother's daughter, and she pestered me to come over to play."

    Even though he was as heroic as Master Wuse, he couldn't help but blush. He blamed himself for getting carried away with joy. He laughed twice, touched his shiny forehead with his big hand, and said with a smile: "I see, haha,  No wonder she looks so friendly, but she turns out to be the daughter of an old friend! Her style is not inferior to Mrs. Yang's at all!"

    "Haha, Master, you have good taste!" Xiao Yuesheng chuckled, with a hint of joking in his eyes. He didn't expect this colorless monk to be so interesting.

    Master Wu Se walked to the foot of the ancient pine tree and patted the bark of the tree, as if caring for him. He turned to the smiling Xiao Yuesheng and said, "Why does Mr. Xiao have time to come to our temple? How is Brother Yang doing recently?"

    ¡°Second brother, he is a husband and a wife, and he is happy and happy. It couldn¡¯t be better! When he comes, he asked me to say hello to you on his behalf.¡±

    Xiao Yuesheng glanced at the Shaolin Temple with red walls and yellow tiles, answered with a smile, and then pointed at Yang Ruonan who was leaning on him: " As for coming to Shaolin this time, Xiao Ruonan is purely curious and admires the famous name of Shaolin, so he came to have fun.  ."

    Master Wu Se narrowed his eyes and felt happy when he heard his friend Yang Guo greeting him. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard the bells in the temple ringing loudly. "Dang, dang, dang, dang" struck five times, and the sound of many footsteps was fast and dense.  , but looking light and vigorous, a group of bald monks in yellow clothes rushed out from the temple gate, holding wooden sticks, with a calm temperament and extraordinary cultivation.

    "It's the head brother who came to greet us personally!"Master Wu Se turned to look at the Shaolin disciples who rushed out and stood in two rows along the bluestone steps, and explained to Xiao Yuesheng.

    These Shaolin disciples finished standing. A kind old monk with white beard and rosy complexion, wearing a purple gold cassock and holding a golden ring Zen staff, slowly walked out of the temple door, followed by four old monks wearing light yellow cassocks.  , Master Wuxiang was not among them.

    The purple gold cassock was a gift from the emperor. The only people in the world who received this gift were Shaolin master Tianming and the divine monk Zhuming.

    The style of conduct of the head of Tianming is different from the heroic spirit of Master Wu Se. The kind elder, gentle breeze and drizzle give people a feeling of spring breeze, and they welcome Xiao Yuesheng and Yang Ruonan into the temple.

    They turned a blind eye to Yang Ruonan's identity as a woman, as if they had never noticed that she was a woman. This made Xiao Yuesheng feel ashamed. Fortunately, he thought that they must abide by the temple rules, and women were not allowed to enter. If they stopped him, he would have prepared a set.  He was talking, but he didn't expect these monks to be so flexible, which made him feel regretful, as if he had been punched in the air.

    However, at a glance, Xiao Yuesheng realized that the red-faced Shaolin abbot was seriously injured and was just trying to support himself.

    For Shaolin, Xiao Yuesheng has never looked down upon. He has long discovered that there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the Shaolin Temple.

    Shaolin martial arts and Buddhism complement each other. The more advanced the martial arts, the more profound their Buddhist teachings will be. Fame, fame and wealth are all illusions. They don't bother to fight for fear of affecting their own Buddha mind. Naturally, they are unknown in the martial arts world. However,  As the head of Shaolin, it was rare for him to be seriously injured like this. Xiao Yuesheng was very curious.

    In a quiet Zen room, only Xiao Yuesheng and Abbot Tianming were sitting cross-legged on a bright yellow futon, holding a steaming tea cup in their hands. Abbot Tianming also took off his purple and gold cassocks, only wearing bright yellow monk robes, but they were also precious.  solemn.

    Yang Ruonan has been led by Master Wu Se to play in the pagoda forest behind the temple. Yang Ruonan was not surprised that his godfather could not find him, so he went to play with his father's friends without worries.

    "Xiao Jushi, have you ever heard of the Sa Ding Sect?" Abbot Tianming, who had a white beard and rosy complexion, put down his tea cup and asked kindly, showing no signs of injury.  On the wrist is a string of purple-brown Buddhist beads the size of longan eyes, which are faintly shining and are not ordinary objects.

    "Oh? The abbot has also heard of the Sa Ding Cult?" Xiao Yuesheng also put down the tea cup and asked with a smile.

    Abbot Tianming stroked his silver beard, with a look of compassion on his face, and sighed: "When the world is in chaos, demons and monsters will appear. This Sacred Sect has great ambitions!"

    Seeing Xiao Yuesheng looking at him intently, he continued: "A few days ago, a wandering monk from the Western Regions came to our temple to register. After talking with him, I found that this man had profound Buddhist principles and unparalleled eloquence.  People admired,Oh!I never thought that such a person came with murderous intentions and wanted to kill me!According to his own claim, this person is from the Sa Ding Sect!"

    As he spoke, the compassion on his face that was as rosy as a child's face became more and more intense, but there was no hint of resentment. He gently moved the beads on his hand.

    "Haha, this Sa Ding Cult is also very arrogant in their actions. They set fires everywhere for fear that others will not know. It seems that they are very self-reliant! A while ago, the leaders of Maple Leaf Sword Sect and Qingwei Sword Sect were both attacked by Sa Ding.  Even the family members were not spared from the assassination attempts by those who supported the religion, but fortunately they were not successful!"

    Xiao Yuesheng chuckled, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and there was ridicule in his tone, then he focused on Abbot Tianming and asked slowly: "Could it be that the injuries in Abbot's body came from that person?  "

    Xiao Yuesheng had handed over all matters regarding the Sa Ding Sect to the people under the Guanlan Villa, and ignored them and allowed them to toss around, so he did not know about it.

    "It's this person! Alas His martial arts skills are not inferior to those of Lao Na. Fortunately, Junior Brother Wu Se has always been wary and secretly on guard, so he was frightened away. Otherwise" Abbot Tianming stroked his beard and shook his head.  , smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid I'll never have the opportunity to meet Master Xiao again!"

    "Master's injurycan't be cured by the Great Return Pill?" Xiao Yuesheng frowned and looked at the heart of Master Tianming.

    "The man's internal power is strange and vicious. It lingers near the heart veins, constantly eroding the heart veins, but cannot be driven away. Even the Great Return Pill of our temple cannot do anything about it." Abbot Tianming nodded and said slowly.

    Immediately, a faint smile appeared on his face, full of peace, and he clasped his palms together: "Amitabha, it's time to give up this stinky body of mys. Destiny and death have causes and effects, but you can't force it!"

    " Xiao Yuesheng remained silent, stroking the mustache on his lips with his left hand, focusing on the tea cup in front of his knees, thoughtfully, in a trance, and his mind was ethereal.

    Abbot Tianming did not open his mouth. He lowered the curtain and looked back. In his big hand, there was a string of longan-sized flowers.The brown sandalwood Buddha beads turned lightly, neither fast nor slow, and there was no change in speed.

    The Zen room suddenly became quiet. The sky was gray, making the light in the Zen room a little dim. The shouts and shouts on the martial arts training ground could be faintly heard. The faint fragrance of tea was mixed with the sandalwood under the word "Zen" on the south wall. The smell was  Unique and refreshing.

    "There is nothing the experts from Bodhidharma Academy and Xin Chan Hall can do?" Xiao Yuesheng's voice rose slowly, with a bit of mistiness, and he looked at Abbot Tianming lightly.

    Abbot Tianming shook his head, with a peaceful expression, neither happy nor angry, and said slowly: "The heart is extremely fragile, and this true energy is extremely weird. Alas, what can I do?!"

    He felt a slight shiver in his heart. Outsiders in the Bodhidharma Academy knew about it, but except for a few elders in the temple, few people knew about the existence of the Heart Meditation Hall. Why could this Master Xiao know his name?

    Xiao Yuesheng nodded, pondered for a moment, raised his head and said, "Xiao is very knowledgeable in medical skills. If the master doesn't mind, let me do my best!"

    It is human nature to refuse death and seek life. Even the abbot of Shaolin, who is profound in Buddhism, is the same. When everyone in Shaolin was at his wits' end, Junior Brother Wu Se had some suggestions. He heard the Condor Hero Yang Guo accidentally mentioned that his eldest brother  ¡ª¡ªThe owner of Guanlan Villa has the power to conquer the world, so why not send someone to invite the owner of Xiao to heal the injuries of the master brother?

    Although Master Tianming was a little moved, after thinking about it carefully, he gave up his thoughts and sent someone to Jiaxing City. The round trip took a long time. The true energy in his body was getting closer to his heart. It was definitely too late. It was better to be quiet.  Pass away.

    "But I didn't expect that there were some coincidences in the world. This layman Xiao came uninvited. Could it be that he really knew that he would be in such a catastrophe?"

    Xiao Yuesheng took the hand extended by Master Tianming and pretended to check his pulse. After a moment of meditation, a warm and moist energy flowed into the meridians in his body.

    Master Tianming is the abbot of Shaolin. The inner strength he practices is the Yi Jin Jing. The inner strength is pure and deep, neither plague nor fire, neutral and peaceful, as vast as a river.  Peipeiran cannot be controlled.

    The inner breath that Xiao Yuesheng input was as warm as jade, and it traveled through Master Tianming's meridians, but it was the same as his own internal force. The internal force of the Yi Jin Jing showed no resistance at all, allowing it to pass through freely. Suddenly, this  A warm inner force has poured into his heart.

    Near the heart channel, a mass of rotating inner breath is like a whirlpool in the sea, constantly swallowing and transforming. Xiao Yuesheng's mind clearly flashes that it is constantly devouring Master Tianming's inner breath.

    Fortunately, the Yi Jin Jing is well-deserved, and the internal force is peaceful. This rotating group of internal force is extremely difficult to swallow, and it is almost difficult to move, but it is "almost". Although the speed is slow, it is still slowly approaching the weakest point of the heart.  .

    Xiao Yuesheng's warm inner breath suddenly changed and suddenly gathered into a ball, forming a whirlpool. Its shape was very similar to that ball of inner breath.

    Using the other person¡¯s method to apply it to the other person, Xiao Yuesheng had seen through this unique method of controlling energy in the blink of an eye, followed the instructions of the gourd, and turned it into an identical cyclone, except that the direction of rotation was opposite.

    Slowly approaching, the two groups of rotating auras finally collided. There was no change in the situation as imagined, but an unusual calm. With one touch, the two groups of auras suddenly fell into nothingness and were transformed by the internal force of the Yi Jin Jing.

    Master Tianming's cassock moved automatically without wind. It suddenly swelled and then calmed down. Under the snow-white frosty eyebrows, when the bright eyes opened and closed, electric light flashed, and the dim Zen room suddenly became a little brighter. After two breaths,  , but slowly dissipated and returned to normal.

    "Amitabha¡ª¡ª!Thank you layman for saving me!" Master Tianming put the beads on his arms, clasped his palms together, and bowed to express his thanks.

    ??????

    Master Tianming smiled kindly and said no more. There was no emotion of ecstasy on his rosy face. The clouds were calm and the wind was clear. He stepped back from the gate of hell, as if it was an ordinary matter.

    Xiao Yuesheng could feel that the monk in front of him did not value life and death that much. This detachment made him admire him greatly and made him feel ashamed. He was a person who was afraid of death!

    After that, the two stopped talking about the matter. They had many exchanges about the Sardin Sect. Shaolin Temple has a long history and countless lay disciples. When it comes to manpower, it is far beyond the reach of Guanlan Villa, but its intelligence acquisition and processing capabilities.  However, it is difficult to achieve the same goal as Guanlan Villa. After all, there is a gap of hundreds of years of experience. When the two are integrated, each has something to gain.

    During the vegetarian meal at noon, Master Wu Se accompanied Xiao Yuesheng and Yang Ruonan to eat in the Zen room. Before entering the vegetarian meal, he took out a yellowed book from his arms, with a silk cover as the cover, and four words in seal script: "Thirteen  "stick formation", the characters are shaped like spears and halberds. They are powerful and murderous, and have the appearance of Buddhists subduing demons.

    "This??The stick formation secretly taught in our temple. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the thirteen patriarchs in our temple assisted Taizong in unifying the country and created the thirteen stick formation, which was used to control thousands of armies and horses. This formation is unparalleled and even more powerful.  The Eighteen Arhat Formation!  "

    Master Wu Se pointed at the silk in his hand, with a solemn expression, explaining the origin of the stick array, then handed the book to Xiao Yuesheng, and said: "Hero Yue Guo serves the country and the people, regardless of profit or loss, to help defend Xiangyang, which is admirable  ¡­And layman Xiao had a great life-saving benevolence for my senior brother, the head of the school. Several elders discussed it and handed this stick array into the hands of the layman. They expressed their feelings and if it can be of some help, that would be enough!"
