The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 5 Talking in the Yuanjue Chan Room

That night, the moonlight was hazy, the mountain wind blew, and the forest and sea were flooded, making a "rustling" sound.The dim moonlight shines through the branches swaying in the wind, reflecting the ground mottled and mottled, making people feel nervous for no reason.

There were no vacant rooms in the temple, so the little beggar and Tan Zhengfang could only share a meditation room with a few young monks. Fortunately, this meditation room was very spacious, and it was not too crowded for five or six people to sleep on one bed.

The young monks had just finished their evening class, and they were all a little sleepy, and they lay on the couch without saying a word.Although Tan Zhengfang didn't feel sleepy, she had to do as the Romans did when she first arrived. Seeing that the young monks were speechless, she had to lie on the couch with her eyes closed.In the huge meditation room, only the little beggar was drinking happily with a wine gourd in his hand.

He quickly drank all the wine in the gourd, so he had to put down the wine gourd resentfully, then walked to the bed with a smile, and asked a few young monks: "Senior brothers, you fell asleep before the time of Hai? Don’t you all believe that there is really a big devil on this mountain, and it’s not Master and his old man who frightened us?”

Tan Zhengfang became interested when he heard the words, sat up all at once, and looked at the young monks expectantly.But the few young monks didn't seem to have heard the little beggar's words, as if they had never heard of them.After a long time, a young monk named Yuanjue said, "Amitabha, monks don't lie. I heard from Master that there is indeed a great devil on Kunlun Mountain!"

The little beggar's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly: "There is really a big devil? What's his name? What evil things have he done? Where are you now?"

The little monk Yuanjue's face was a bit ugly, he put his palms together and recited the Buddha's name, and then he said nervously: "It was one night ten years ago, after the master finished his evening class, he went to practice martial arts in the mountains as usual, who would have expected him As soon as he walked out of the temple gate, he came back in a hurry, and his face was very ugly. Several senior brothers were worried that something happened to the master, so they went up to ask, but the master didn't say anything, just went back to the meditation room silently, and closed the door tightly. I haven’t gone out to practice martial arts for three months, and we are strictly forbidden to go out late at night. Several brothers were curious, so they kept asking the master, and the master was annoyed by the question, so he told us a story of the past..."

At this time, not to mention the little beggar and Tan Zhengfang, even the few young monks who had recently joined the ranks were not sleepy, and several pairs of eyes were staring at Yuanjue, waiting for his next words.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yuanjue smiled embarrassedly, and then continued: "More than 40 years ago, this big devil first appeared in the world. At that time, his father was brutally killed, and he was blinded by hatred. He avenged his father and turned into a bloodthirsty demon! He not only killed the leader of the evil way, Ming Zun of the Nine Nether Ghost Realm, but also personally killed the uncle who raised him and the master who taught him martial arts. Enemy with Shaolin, the beggar gang and other righteous ways, and bloodbathed Kunlun Mountain!"

The little beggar said with a smile: "Haha, I still think our master is invincible in the world. I didn't expect to be afraid of some big devil!"

Yuan Jue explained: "Master was born in Henan Province. He was poor since he was a child, and was sold to Kunlun Mountain. At that time, there was a hidden master in Kunlun Mountain, that is, the uncle of the big devil. He saw that Master's bones were strong and smart. , so he took him by his side and became a doorman. That's how Master got acquainted with the big devil. Later, the big devil went down the mountain to investigate the case of his father's murder, and he went there for several years. But one night a few years later, he He returned to Kunlun Mountain at night, killed his uncle who raised him, and washed Kunlun Mountain with blood at dusk the next day. The snow and wind could not cover the redness of the mountain. The young master witnessed the bloody scene, It has left a deep imprint on his heart, and even though so many years have passed, when he saw this great devil with his own eyes, he still has lingering fears in his heart!"

Tan Zhengfang asked: "This big devil is completely inhuman, and even his closest relatives can be killed. Why don't people in the Jianghu attack him together!"

Yuanjue sighed: "Oh, no one is his opponent. Everyone who saw him wield the sword all died by his sword! Later, his master's daughter and several masters personally killed him, and everyone in the Jianghu thought he was Dead, who would have thought that he would come back to life!"

Tan Zhengfang frowned, "It's fine if you don't know that he is alive. Now that you know, why didn't Master kill him? Even if one person is no match for him, you should invite your fellows to encircle and suppress him!"

Yuanjue explained: "Master has been entangled in his heart to this day. When he was young, he had been with the big devil for several years. He couldn't connect him with the murderous monster. He always felt that there was something hidden behind the incident. What's more, the monks have good intentions. Since the big devil has lived here in seclusion and has not done any evil for decades, Master is unwilling to do anything again. However, Master said that you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others, so we had better listen Master’s words should be avoided going out, so as not to cause death!”

Tan Zhengfang kept nodding, her face became a little nervous.But the little beggar smiled nonchalantly, "Hahaha, look at you rats, you are afraid of him, but I am not! Since Master has named him a big devil, he is not a little bastard, he will never embarrass me Such a little beggar! But I really want to meet this great devil and see if he is really like the legendary devil, with a blue face and fangs, three heads and six arms!"

He said shaking the wine gourd that was already empty in his hand, and sighed, "Oh, wine gourd, wine gourd, although you have a big belly, there is too little in it, and it is not enough for me to stuff my teeth Yes! It seems that from now on, I will learn martial arts on the mountain and beg for wine at the bottom of the mountain every day, it is really hard!"

Tan Zhengfang pointed to the little beggar and said, "Hahaha, little brother, you don't feel pain in your back when you stand up and talk. In my opinion, the senior brothers are even harder. They watch you drink every day, but they can't drink themselves. That's hard work." Ah!" The young monks laughed loudly when they heard the words, and the meditation room, which was originally lifeless, became cheerful in an instant.

By the time of the next day, the sky had already brightened, and the dazzling sunlight slanted down on the earth.

Tan Zhengfang waited for the martial arts training ground with the monks very early, only waiting for Master Kunlun to come to teach martial arts.At the end of the hour, Master Kunlun walked slowly into the training ground. He looked at the tall and straight disciples in front of him with a satisfied smile on his face.

Master Kunlun said: "Amitabha, very good. You all arrived early today, and I am very satisfied as a teacher. Before practicing martial arts, I have a few more instructions for my teacher. You must keep them in mind. If you violate them in the future, don't blame your teacher." ruthless!"

The monks had long been used to it, and they all nodded solemnly. Tan Zhengfang was new here and didn't know much about the Buddhist rules and regulations. At this moment, he pricked up his ears curiously, wanting to listen carefully.

Master Kunlun continued: "First of all, Longtan Temple is a pure place of Buddhism. It is strictly forbidden for disciples to kill, steal, commit adultery, lie, and drink alcohol. Those who violate it are severely punished! Temple regulations! Third, after morning class, you are not allowed to hide in the meditation room to be lazy, and you must gather at the martial arts training ground before the time..."

Tan Zhengfang was listening attentively, for fear of missing something.At this time, Master Kunlun glanced at the crowd, frowned slightly, and was about to ask questions, when the little beggar suddenly appeared at the gate of the temple.I saw him staggering over, saying loudly, "Good wine, good wine!"

Everyone's eyes were attracted by the little beggar. He was holding a gourd of wine in one hand while munching on the grilled fish. He was very contented and ignored everyone's surprised eyes.Seeing this, Master Kunlun frowned, and shouted: "Wan Jianfeng! This is a pure place of Buddhism. How can you be so drunk?"

The little beggar smiled and said: "Chenghe carrying buckets? Master, it's still early, and it's not time to make lunch, so don't rush to fetch water with buckets. But I'm new to Kunlun Mountains and I'm not familiar with the terrain, so I'll have to wait a while." Please some senior brother to lead the way, otherwise I won’t be able to find Chenghe!”

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard the words, even Master Kunlun couldn't help laughing, but then he straightened his face and scolded: "Wan Jianfeng! Since you have worshiped the old monk as your teacher, you are my Longtan The disciples of the temple dare to openly drink alcohol in the temple, why do you not punish you today if you are a master!"

Wan Jianfeng said with an aggrieved face: "Master promised me that I don't need to quit drinking, and now he wants to punish me! Could it be that he wants me to go to the city river to fetch water for a day?"

Master Kunlun ignored his words and everyone's laughter, but pointed to the ten plum blossom stakes beside him, and said, "Wan Jianfeng, I will punish you within half a stick of incense. Run [-] laps. If you can't run within half a stick of incense, you will be fined and not allowed to drink for a month!"

All the monks smiled and looked at the little beggar, waiting to make a fool of himself in front of others, but the little beggar looked at the plum blossom pile disapprovingly, and smiled at Master Kunlun: "Master, if I run [-] laps within half a stick of incense, you won't Punish me again?"

Master Kunlun was slightly taken aback, and then solemnly said: "That's right, if you run [-] laps within half a stick of incense, I will forgive your sins today. But if you dare to commit the crime again in the future, I will definitely punish you twice." you!"

The little beggar nodded with a smile, and then rushed out to the plum blossom pile.I saw his figure swaying rapidly between the tree stumps, like a whistling whirlwind, and ran three or four times around the plum blossom stumps in an instant.

Everyone couldn't help being dumbfounded when they saw this, even Master Kunlun was quite surprised, and sighed in his heart: "What a light skill! Although it is far from being as superb as Du Jiangfeng, the leader of the Lingxiao School in the past, it is also unique, enough for him to use for a lifetime! "

Soon, the little beggar finished [-] laps, stopped and said out of breath, "Master, monks don't lie, you have to keep your word!"

Master Kunlun walked up to him with a smile, and patted the little beggar on the shoulder, "Jianfeng, your lightness kung fu is really good. As a master, I will forgive you this time. But if you dare to behave like this again in the future, don't blame me." Become a teacher!"

Panting heavily, the little beggar nodded and said, "I... I remember, from now on... I must arrive at the training ground before Si time, and there will be no delay!"

Master Kunlun nodded in satisfaction, "Amitabha, knowing your mistakes can make you better! Jianfeng, you should stand beside Zhengfang."

The little beggar responded, walked quickly to Tan Zhengfang's side, put his shoulders on his shoulders and said, "Brother Tan, the fish I grilled today is the best one these days. It's a pity that you don't have a good meal!"

Tan Zhengfang squinted at the little beggar, with a smile on his lips, turned around and saw Master Kunlun looking at them, and quickly stood up.Master Kunlun tidied up his loose monk robes, and said, "Master, I accepted two new disciples yesterday, and I think you all know them. Today, Master will demonstrate to the two new disciples the skills of my Longtan Temple." Absolutely learn 'Tan legs', others should pay attention!"

All the disciples looked at Master Kunlun intently, for fear of missing a detail.I saw the master striding forward through the door, and then he punched and kicked out together, making a "huhu" sound of piercing the air.His moves are simple and neat, with a coherent momentum, his fists are like a tiger descending the mountain, his legs are like a dragon raging in the sea, although he does not have the power to split the sky and the earth, he has the potential to collapse mountains and smash rocks!

"Okay!" The little beggar blurted out when he saw Master Kunlun's exquisite moves.Tan Zhengfang and all the disciples were startled by his shout, and immediately applauded for Master Kunlun's wonderful rehearsal.

After practicing a set of Tan legs, Master Kunlun accepted the pose with a smile, "Amitabha, the ten Tan legs you just practiced were created by the master who exhausted his whole life. Although it is not unparalleled in the world, if you can use this method If you master it well, no matter how strong a master is, it will be difficult to defeat you in a hundred moves!"

He said, looking at the little beggar and Tan Zhengfang, "Is this the first time you have seen this skill? I just practiced it for my master. How many ways have you memorized?"

"Master, this disciple has memorized seven or eight ways!" Tan Zhengfang strode forward excitedly, imitating Master Kunlun's tricks in his memory.Master Kunlun smiled and nodded, "Okay! I remembered so much after just reading it once. You are really talented, and you are right as a teacher!"

Tan Zhengfang smiled excitedly: "Haha, thank you for the compliment, Master, I will definitely practice hard in the future, and I will not disgrace the name of Master!"

Master Kunlun looked at the little beggar again, and asked, "Jianfeng, how many moves do you remember?"

The little beggar scratched his head in embarrassment, and smiled after a long time: "Haha, Master, I'm not a martial artist at all, and I haven't memorized any of your moves!"

Master Kunlun was taken aback, and said in disbelief: "You didn't remember a move? Even a three-year-old child can remember a move or two, but you didn't remember a single move?"

The little beggar nodded, "Yeah, I didn't remember a single trick! Master, I'm not a rough jade at all, and I'm not suitable for martial arts. I'm just a piece of mud that can't support the wall. You should let me go down the mountain!"

Master Kunlun shook his head, "It doesn't matter if you don't remember, the future will be long, take your time."

The little beggar stepped forward and said: "Master, although I am not as talented as Brother Tan, I can draw a ladle like a gourd and make a few random gestures. Don't be surprised if you don't practice correctly!" Although none of the moves is the same as Master Kunlun's moves, they are simple and powerful.

Master Kunlun looked at the little beggar with disappointment at first, but after a few tricks, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had discovered the rarest treasure in the world, and sighed: "This... how can this be possible, only this one time can make you lose your mind?" To comprehend Shen Yun without routine, this kind of talent is probably unmatched by anyone in the past few decades!"

Seeing that the master didn't say a word, the little beggar thought he was angry, hurriedly stopped his moves, spread his hands at Master Kunlun, and said helplessly: "Master, look, I didn't lie to you, did I? I really didn't remember a single move. live!"

Everyone burst into laughter when they saw this, and Master Kunlun also laughed, but not in mockery but in relief.He walked slowly to the little beggar, and said happily: "Haha, you are indeed not suitable for practicing anyone's martial arts, but you should gather the strengths of a hundred schools of thought and create your own set of martial arts that is really suitable for you. As a teacher, if you can really comprehend a set of exercises on your own, your cultivation level in the future will never be inferior to that of Murong Yanyun back then!"

"Ah!" The little beggar exclaimed in surprise, and everyone's eyes widened in disbelief, as if they had heard the Arabian Nights.Master Kunlun nodded firmly, turned around without saying a word, and walked straight to his meditation room.
