Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 280 Shaolin Temple, Monk Jiekong
???

A bunch of question marks popped up in He Songling and Tian Jinzhong's heads.

No, we looked for you all over the world, Zhang Zhiwei, but couldn't find you. So you went to beat up monks?

Could it be that you have also read the conspiracy theories of the marketing accounts and were planning to stir up some kind of dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, so you took the initiative?

He Songling asked Tian Jinzhong with a worried look on his face, "Xiao Tian, ​​when your brother came down the mountain, was there anything obviously abnormal, mainly mentally?"

Tian Jinzhong looked confused: "No, he went down the mountain to travel at the order of my master. Oh, it's bad!"

"What do you mean?" Tian Jinzhong suddenly shouted. Not only He Songling who was waiting for an answer, but even the two monks who were beaten black and blue looked over.

"Before Senior Brother Zhiwei left, my master told him that he was no longer fit for the travels he had experienced as an apprentice. At his age, when he comes down the mountain, he will represent the Tianshi Mansion in the world. He should promote the capabilities of the Tianshi Mansion and must not bring down the dignity of Zhengyi Dao and its founder, Zhang Tianshi."

Tian Jinzhong looked thoughtful and speculated maliciously, "Could it be that he understood that Master asked him to beat up the others, or is that what my Master meant?"

This speculation is very likely based on the nature of both Zhang Jingqing and Zhang Zhiwei.

"Oh come on, is that really the case?"

The shorter and more seriously injured monk turned green after hearing what Tian Jinzhong said. "What kind of mission did your Heavenly Master assign to me? Shaolin is an ancient temple that has been around for more than 1,400 years.

Since the arrival of Bodhidharma, the recognized Zen ancestral temple has been defeated by you. If that's the case, will Zhang Zhiwei stay in our temple forever? "

When the short monk thought of the beatings he had received these days, he felt pain all over his body. And when he thought that Zhang Zhiwei might never leave, the short monk had the urge to go down the mountain and return to secular life.

Anyone who wants to recite the Buddhist teachings may do so. Even if one can become a Buddha after enduring Zhang Zhiwei's beating, I would not be a monk anymore.

"Ah, you are from Shaolin?" He Songling was stunned at first, then he suddenly realized:

"Yes! This Shaolin Temple was first built during the Northern Wei Dynasty, and until the thirteen monks rescued the Tang Emperor and revived the country, it has a history of more than a thousand years. It is the ancestral temple of Chinese Buddhism and Zen. In terms of history, you are hundreds of years older than the Tianshi Temple.

As the saying goes, all martial arts in the world come from Shaolin. It has been like this for many years, and no one dares to challenge its status in the martial arts world. Zhang Zhiwei is so arrogant, he must have come to Shaolin to try his luck. Why didn't I think of it earlier? "

He Songling really regretted it. His brain had become rigid after being in seclusion with Lao Zuo for too long.

Lao Zuo couldn't understand why the third level of Nisheng had no way forward, and he had never thought about it. Although Zhang Zhiwei was a Taoist priest, he was also an extraordinary person and a living person. There was no rule requiring him to enter the Taoist sect.

You can also go to Buddhism.

It is even necessary to go to Buddhism.

The royal family of the Qing Dynasty worshipped Buddhism. Although it was Tibetan Buddhism, they belonged to the same family. Since the Qing Dynasty, the status of Taoism compared to Buddhism can be said to have been completely suppressed.

Nowadays, Longhushan Tianshi Mansion is the leader of Taoism. Naturally, it is necessary for Zhang Zhiwei, the future Tianshi, to visit the leader of Buddhism.

Since I knew he was coming to Henan, how could I not have imagined that he would visit Songshan?

"Let's go, we've been looking for him for a long time, take us to see him." He Songling dragged Tian Jinzhong and pushed the monk to leave. "Okay, okay, thank you for your kindness, Mr. He. I will definitely offer you food in the temple. Three kowtows in the morning and evening is like a burn of incense in the morning and evening." The short monk almost cried and ran away.

"Not really. Looking at you like this, has Zhang Zhiwei only beaten you up these past few days?"

He Songling was surprised to see the miserable appearance of the short monk. He thought that Lao Zhang was not that kind of person. "What should I call you Master?"

"I am not worthy of being the master. My Dharma name is Jie Kong. I am just an ordinary monk in the temple. I have never sinned against Taoist Brother Zhang Zhiwei. Even the Taoist monks are very respectful to me. Who knew that he... Amitabha."

The short monk almost couldn't hold back from cursing, but it was obvious that he had good upbringing. Of course, it was also possible that Zhang Zhiwei's fist was so heavy that he didn't dare to curse.

"Your name is Jie Kong? You are Jie Kong?"

He Songling did not expect that the monk sent by Shaolin Temple to look for people was actually one of the ten famous masters in the future, the abbot of Lingyin Temple, Xiao Zizai's master, and Master Jiekong, who was called "a very powerful monk" by Zhang Zhiwei.

Oh……

I didn't understand it just now, but now I understand it. I think Zhang Zhiwei will have such an evaluation of Master Jie Kong in the future, all because he has been more resilient during this period.

That makes sense.

"Ah, I am Jie Kong, and the one next to me is my fellow apprentice Jie Xing. Mr. He, have you heard of us?"

Jie Kong was stunned. He was just a monk of junior generation. He had practiced martial arts in the temple quite well, but he was not so well-known that the world-famous "Two Masters of Xuanmen" knew him and seemed to have high expectations of him.

Wait a minute, when Zhang Zhiwei came to my house a few days ago, he called me out for a one-on-one fight. Now this "Trinity traitor" has also called me out. Could it be that...

"I am ashamed, ashamed, I am ignorant and don't know the name of Master Jie Xing, but I have heard of your Master Jie Kong for a long time and I admire you!"

Sure enough, He Songling's voice rang in his ears like a devil's whisper: "When I get to Shaolin, I will have to ask you, Master, for advice on Buddhist techniques!"

Jie Kong's face turned from rapeseed color to leek color, green and dark, and he almost cried out.

You two have nothing else to do, right?

Are you going to bully me, an honest monk?

Xuanmen is training scoundrels, right? My abbot is also very powerful, how about you beat him up instead?
But he didn't dare to say it, not even a word. If he said these words, he was afraid of being beaten by Zhang Zhiwei, He Songling, the abbot, and the three of them.

Jie Kong couldn't say a word, tears welled up in his eyes. At this moment, he deeply understood why they were called the two masters of Xuanmen. It turned out that they were really the same kind of people.

But Jie Kong was helpless. Now their old and cunning abbot kept saying that he was too old to fight, and only talked about Buddhism with Zhang Zhiwei, saying that he would fight his disciples.

Zhang Zhiwei, a bull-nosed old Taoist, talks about Buddhism with the old monk, and he likes to grab Jiekong and beat him hard every day. If this continues, Jiekong feels that he should have lost his life before the Golden Bell Mask is completed.

Therefore, even if it was like drinking poison to quench thirst, Jie Kong didn't care. No matter what, he had to take He Songling to Shaolin first.
