Shaolin Bajue

Chapter 1406
After Fang Jianming and his party left Xiangyang, they went all the way north, and within a day, they had arrived at the junction of Huguang and Henan.That night, they settled in an inn and had nothing to do overnight, and got up early the next day to continue.Bordering Xiangyang Prefecture is Nanyang Prefecture in Henan Province, and beyond Nanyang Prefecture is Ruzhou Prefecture.To the north of Ruzhou is Henan Prefecture, and to the northeast is Kaifeng Prefecture.

Along the way, Fang Jianming seldom spoke, as if he was preoccupied.The severe winter is getting colder day by day, sometimes it snows heavily, and there are very few pedestrians on the road.

On this day, they arrived at the junction of Ruzhou, Henan Prefecture, and Kaifeng Prefecture, and they stayed in a town belonging to Ruzhou.Because the next day was New Year's Eve, the town was very lively with people coming and going. At night, colorful lights were hung in front of every house, and the atmosphere of the New Year was already approaching.That night, Fang Jianming drank a lot of wine, Zhou Feng seemed to see what was going on in his mind, and didn't try to persuade him much.

On the second day, Fang Jian got up before dawn, and after explaining a few words to Zhang Daqian, he left the inn, headed north, and soon entered the territory of Henan Mansion.

He performed lightness kung fu and galloped all the way, and within half an hour, he had already stepped into the territory of Dengfeng.

"Master, Brother Shiming, I'm here to see you." Fang Jianming shouted in his heart.

Songshan Shaolin Temple was very familiar to him. When he stepped on a mountain road and ran towards Shaoshi Mountain, two monks suddenly appeared in an old forest beside the road.

The two monks were in their early thirties, and they seemed to be monks of Jue's generation.When Fang Jianming saw them, he seemed to see his own relatives. He was about to speak, but unexpectedly, one of the two monks stood up and blocked the way. He joined hands and said, "Amitabha, please stay here, benefactor."

Fang Jianming froze for a moment, then put his hands together and said, "What do you call the two senior brothers?"

The monk on the left said: "Young monk feels Yin."

The monk on the right said: "Little monk Jue Yang."

Fang Jianming smiled and said, "So it's the two senior brothers, Jue Yin and Jue Yang."

Jue**: "I don't know where the benefactor intends to go?"

Fang Jianming said: "Senior Brothers, please inform me that I have something to see the head of your temple." He is already the head of the Diancang Sect, so when he came to Shaolin Temple, he naturally wanted to use this identity.

Jueyin looked at him, put his palms together and said, "Amitabha, may I ask if the benefactor is Fang Jianming, the head of the Diancang Sect?"

Fang Jianming secretly smiled and said: "This senior brother Jueyin is really funny. When he showed up just now, he saw that it was me, and he couldn't help showing a little bit of joy on his face. He clearly recognized me, but he still wanted to ask more questions at this moment." I thought so, but I still answered honestly: "Exactly."

Jue**: "Fang Daxia is from the martial arts world, please forgive my temple for the inconvenience."

Fang Jianming was taken aback, and said, "Why?"

Jue **: "Our temple has withdrawn from the martial arts for the time being. Except for the pilgrims, it is inconvenient to entertain other people. Please forgive me by Fang Daxia."

Although Fang Jianming had already learned something about the Shaolin Temple from Hua Tianyun, he never expected that even himself, who was born in Shaolin, would not be able to go up the mountain. It can be seen that this time the Shaolin Temple really came to the "real".

Fang Jianming thought for a while, and said, "Brother Jueyin, can you be more flexible?"

Jue**: "The responsibility lies, and I dare not accommodate."

Fang Jianming sighed, and said: "Unexpectedly, I came here early this morning, but it is difficult to get in, hey..." He stood blankly for a while, and suddenly said: "Can the two senior brothers do me a favor? Woolen cloth?"

The two monks glanced at each other and thought, "What's the matter?"

Fang Jianming said: "Brother Juedian from your temple must be in the temple, right?"

Jue Yin nodded.

Fang Jianming said: "Can I ask him to come out and meet?"

Jue**: "This..." Hesitated for a while, probably because he found it difficult to make a decision, turned his head and glanced at Jueyang, Jueyang had the same expression as him, except for a wry smile.In fact, why don't they want Fang Jianming to go there, let alone call Juedian out? It's just that the abbot has a strict order that no matter who comes, they are not allowed to open the door for them. Otherwise, the consequences will be serious. Will be expelled from Shaolin forever.Shaolin discipline is strict, expulsion from Shaolin is the biggest and most humiliating responsibility, even if they die, they dare not and do not want to be punished like this.

"Amitabha, it is the glory of Shaolin that Master Fang came to Shaolin, but Shaolin no longer participates in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, please ask Master Fang to make it easier for Shaolin to have a moment of peace." Following the words, an old monk Came over from the mountain road ahead.

Fang Jianming looked up and recognized Zen Master Dade, the elder of Zhiketang, he was about to go up to him, but Jueyin and Jueyang stretched out their hands to block them, and said in unison: "Master Fang, please stay here."

Fang Jianming was excited for a moment, so he couldn't help stepping forward. He had too much affection for Shaolin. He would rather be depressed than let Shaolin embarrass him, so he took a few steps back.

Chan Master Dade approached, Jue Yin and Jue Yang automatically retreated to stand behind him, Fang Jianming bent slightly, as if saluting to Chan Master Dade, Chan Master Dade returned the salute with palms together, and said: "Master Fang, this move You don’t have to, I’m being polite.”

In the past, unless Fang Jianming visited Shaolin as the head of the Diancang Sect, it was possible for Zen Master Dade to return the salute to Fang Jianming. Now, Zen Master Dade doesn't care about other things. No matter what identity Fang Jianming used to come here, he would always regard Fang Jianming as a "guest".

Fang Jianming recalled the past, compared with what happened today, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, but he didn't show it on his face, but pretended to be happy, and asked, "How is Master?"

Zen Master Dade smiled and said, "It's okay."

Fang Jianming asked again: "Where are the masters?"

Chan Master Dade smiled and said, "It's not bad."

Although the two had only a short conversation, both of them understood the meaning contained in it.Fang Jianming took this dialogue to express his greetings to the elders in the temple, and Zen Master Dade also told Fang Jianming that they would be fine at present, and asked Fang Jianming to rest assured.

Fang Jianming finally asked: "Isn't the request just now going too far?"

Chan Master Dade said with a smile: "It's not too much, on the contrary, this is because our temple is too repulsive to people thousands of miles away. Juedian has been practicing Buddhism intensively recently, and his practice is getting better and better. It's just because he hasn't grasped the key points and can't leave the customs. I also ask Master Fang to forgive me."

Fang Jianming heard this, and secretly said: "It turns out that Brother Shiming is practicing in closed doors. Now that I know so much, why do I need to force other things? My foster father said that one should be free and easy, so I will go now." Chan Master Chao Dade He saluted again, turned around and left without saying a word.He walked so simply, so calmly, all the thoughts on his face were swept away, and he looked much better.
