Chapter 408 Shaolin 2
"According to the Shaolin precepts, the punishment for violating the ** precepts is to punish a hundred sticks in public, and if you commit a killing precepts, you need to recover your martial arts and expel Shaolin. Xu Zhu, if you violate both precepts, you should be punished for both crimes. Do you have anything else to say?
Before Master Xuanji's words fell, Xu Zhu trembled all over, and his mind was blank. He just subconsciously shook his head and replied, "The disciple is deeply guilty and indefensible. He is willing to be punished by the uncle..."
"Since you have no objection, that's good!" Master Xuanji nodded, and then waved his hand and ordered a young monk standing behind him, "Huifang, take Xuzhu to the precept hall to receive punishment now!" The young monk answered and was about to leave. However, at this time, Master Xuannan suddenly opened his mouth and shouted, "Slow down", and then stood up, bowed to the abbot Xuanci, and said, "Brother, I have something to say."
"Hmm." Xuanci abbot waved his hand gently and let Na Huifang stop. Then he heard Master Xuannan say, "Abbot, brothers, now, there are many people who have come to this temple by force. At this jux point, the wanton punishment of disciples may have an impact on the reputation of my Shaolin Temple, right? Moreover, in two days, it will be the day when the martial arts conference will be held. There are not enough people in the temple. Therefore, I think that let go of the affairs of Xuzhu first. Let him stay in the temple to help first. When the martial arts conference is over, it will be too late to enforce the precepts.
"Hmm?" Xuanci abbot was stunned by surprise, and his expression was a little strange. To be precise, the two reasons for Xuannan are actually not very reliable. However, from his expression, it seems that he really wants to ease and let Xuzhu stay in the temple for a longer time, which can't help but arouse Xuanci's interest. It is.
At this time, Xu Zhu also came to his senses a little and also pleaded sincerely: "The abbot is compassionate, and the disciple is willing to stay and do a little more for Shaolin. The disciple grew up in Shaolin Temple, and now it has been more than 20 years. Over the years, all the teachers have devoted countless efforts to the disciples. Nowadays, the disciple is unfilial and violates the precepts. He should be expelled from the temple. However, the disciple begs the abbot to show mercy and give the disciple a little more time to repay the master's upbringing..."
Speaking of emotions, Xu Zhu burst into tears and kowtowed hard. At the beginning, Xuanci and others were still full of compassion, but not long after, his face changed slightly, and he subconsciously fixed his eyes on Xu Zhu's forehead.
If Xu Zhu is not in a state of loss of mind now, in order to show his humility and piety, he will definitely control his true qi. However, his mood is too excited now, and the incomparable congenital innocence in his body is out of control. Just as he kowtowed hard, the countless true qi also operated spontaneously and activated the body protection effect.
Therefore, in the banging kowtow, Master Xuanci was keenly aware that the hard masonry on the ground had cracked, but as a flesh and blood body, the forehead of the virtual bamboo was still smooth and did not leave any scars! After this discovery, with the mental cultivation of abbot Xuanci, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows and secretly took a breath of cold air. There is no need to say more, just for the shocking internal cultivation of Xu Zhu, he almost guessed why Master Xuannan suddenly jumped out to plead for him...
"The monks say that it is convenient for them to be with others, and it is convenient for them. The abbot and the younger generation are brave. They also beg for Brother Xuzhu for a favor. Please open up and let him stay in the Shaolin Temple for a longer time!" Just as Master Xuanci's heart turned upside down, Duan Yu, who had been standing very low-key behind Luo Yuchen, couldn't help coming out, saluted Master Xuanci, and also begged.
"Oh, little donor, so familiar face!" As if nothing had happened, he turned his eyes away from Xu Zhu. After looking at Duan Yu, the abbot Xuanci's expression moved slightly again: "I take the liberty to ask, is the little benefactor's surnamed Duan?"
"Not bad, junior Duan Yu, Dali people." As soon as this statement came out, not only Master Xuanci, but also Xuanji, Xuanbei, Xuanku and others on his left head were all moved: "Sure enough, it's the son of Dali. I'm sorry to wait... Well, it's okay, Xu Zhu, it's for your correct attitude to plead guilty, and all the sake of you are also begging for you. I will make an exception today to let you stay in the temple again. Let's stay for a while!"
"Ah, yes, thank you, abbot, Mr. Duan..." After being slightly stunned, Xu Zhu was overjoyed and incoherently thanked the abbot Xuanci and Duan Yu. Xuan Ci smiled and didn't care much. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Master Xuanji: "Well, Brother Xuanji, my decision should not violate the temple rules, right?"
"This?" Xuanji frowned and looked at Master Xuanci. Then he sighed and shook his head slightly: "There is no clear rule in the temple rules. Monks who break the precepts can't stay in the temple. However, I think there should be a limit on the length of stay?
"That's right. Well, since it's my exception, let me add a deadline." Xuan Ci pondered for a moment, "Well, it's just a month. After a month, Xu Zhu will have to leave Shaolin anyway!" Master Xuanji nodded with satisfaction and added, "Moreover, in this month, Xu Zhu's whereabouts will also be limited to a certain extent. If it's okay, it's better to stay in the discipline academy and be guarded by a special person."
"This is also the right meaning, Xu Zhu, do you agree with this way of dealing with it?" Where else can Xuzhu have any objection? Without thinking about it, he just nodded violently and agreed to all the conditions: "My disciple has no objection and is willing to accept the supervision of the teachers of the precepts!"
"Well, that's good, Huifang. You can take Xu Zhu to the precepts and settle down for him!" Once again, no one stopped Master Xuanji's decision. Therefore, the problem of Xu Zhu came to an end. Although the atmosphere at the scene was not very good, it did not become too bad. After the figure of Xu Zhu disappeared, Master Xuanci turned his head and said to Duan Yu, "Mr. Duan, in fact, your father is also set foot in the temple now. You don't know the news yet, do you?"
"Ah, my father is also here?" Duan Yu was shocked. He was both surprised and a little uneasy: "Well, the abbot, the younger generation is rude. Please ask the master to take me to visit my father. I've been away from home for so long. I'm afraid he should be in a hurry..."
"Ha ha, human relationship, this is what it should be!" The abbor Xuanci waved his hand with a smile, called a little Sha Mi over, and went out with Duan Yu. After calculating the time, Luo Yuchen also took the opportunity to stand up and said to the abbot Xuanci, "The abbot's affairs are complicated and time is precious. We idle people will not take up much of your time, do you see..."
Master Xuanci agreed and also stood up. "Luo Shaoxia is too polite. This martial arts conference was originally held by the temple to solve some household matters that could not be put on the table. The young warrior can take the time to kiss, which has made the temple shine. Is there anything to disturb? However, the young heroes and his party came thousands of miles away, but they also worked hard. Therefore, it's better to settle down in the guest room first. If there is anything, let's take a break for a while.
"I'm going to bother your temple!" The abbot Xuanci smiled again and did not disturb him. Then he stretched out his hand. Looking at this situation, he seemed to want to lead the way in person and take Luo Yuchen and others to the guest room for resettlement. However, before he left, and before Luo Yuchen refused, a monk came in in a hurry and respectfully sent a thick pile of invitations to the abbot Xuanci!
"Wait a minute, young man!" As soon as he saw the panicked face of the welcoming monk, Master Xuanci's heart sank slightly. After taking the invitation and turning it over a little, his face immediately showed a look of surprise: "I'm sorry, Luo Shaoxia, suddenly there are many Buddhists who came up the mountain to visit together. I'm afraid I'm going to excuse myself..."
"Master, you don't have to worry about it. Just go and receive the distinguished guests first!" Luo Yuchen waved his hand quietly, and the abbot Xuanci nodded slightly. Then he glanced at the old monks who accompanied him and casually picked one out: "Brother Xuanku, please take Luo Shaoxia and his party to the guest room for resettlement. Um, Xuanji, brother, you go to ring the bell to gather all the monks in the temple and gather in the hall. The visitors outside are not small. They are the brothers on the Shenshan Mountain of Qingliang Temple, Master Jiu Mozhi, the master of Tubo, and several highly valued Buddhas at the same time. Our Shaolin Temple can't be too rude!"
"Yes, I will abide by the abbot's decree!" Hearing Master Xuanci say the series of familiar names, all the old monks were slightly moved and looked doubtful. Soon, the bells were bigger and more dense than not long ago, and Luo Yuchen and his party did not stay in the hall, but under the leadership of Master Xuanku, Haohao Swinging to the guest room of Shaolin Temple...
"Oh, by the way, master, if there is no mistake, you were the teacher of Qiao Feng, the former master of the beggar gang?" After walking a distance and staggering the flow of people converging towards the hall, Luo Yuchen suddenly remembered a question and asked Master Xuan Ku.
"Yes, Lao Kun has indeed taught Master Qiao some shallow introductory skills. What's wrong with the young hero?" Luo Yuchen smiled and said, "The master doesn't know anything. I'm also a friend with Master Qiao. The last time we met, he said that he would go back to Shaolin. I don't know if the master has ever seen him?"
"Oh, so it is!" Hearing that Luo Yuchen said that Qiao Feng was going to return to Shaolin, Master Xuanku nodded slightly, and the alertness in the depths of his eyes slowly disappeared. "To be honest, Master Qiao did come to Shaolin once in more than two months, but he just hurriedly met Lao Na. Later, after he went down the mountain, There is no more news."
"Well, I know, thank you very much..." Luo Yuchen nodded and did not continue to study the bottom. The mysterious answer has given enough information: "Qiao Feng still appeared in the Shaolin Temple more than two months ago? Well, he must be still there now! Now I can completely rest assured..."
