[Shen Wang] Banana deer

Wang Lianhua slipped back to the meditation room and quietly changed her attire.The two went to Master Kuliu's meditation room together.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, and it is past midnight.

The spring breeze caressed her face, so gentle that it almost melted people's hearts.

Master Kuliu's short meditation room was lit, apparently waiting for the two of them.

The two knocked on the door and entered, and saw that the meditation room was simple, with only a floor couch and a few futons.

Master Kuliu stared at the two with a smile, with some scrutiny in his eyes, "Please sit down, both of you." Years of immersion in Buddhism made his kind and gentle voice also imply the majesty of the eminent monk, full of gullies There was a solemn and gentle smile on his face, which made people feel oppressed, but did not dare to profane.

The two saluted and sat down on the futon opposite Master Kuliu.

There was a very light knock on the door outside the meditation room, as if the person outside the door was unwilling to come in even though he knocked on the door.

Master Withered Willow responded.

The door was pushed open slowly and carefully, and a woman in green clothes walked in.

With an exquisite figure and a white face with big innocent eyes, she looks like a cute little white rabbit.

Two feet in plain white embroidered satin shoes hesitated at the door, and a pair of white and thin hands held a white porcelain tea tray.

The woman's body was tense, her head was drooping, her face was covered by the drooping hair, and only her red and white lips were exposed.

Master Kuliu waved to her, and said kindly: "Lan'er, come in quickly."

The woman finally still stretched her body, went to Master Kuliu and sat down on her knees.Holding the pot with his head down, he poured tea for everyone, his fingers were still trembling.

Shen Lang could tell at a glance that this "Lan'er" was indeed Wang Lianhua's maidservant "Lan'er".

He just glanced at it briefly.

But I remember it very clearly.

The tip of his eyebrows raised slightly inconspicuously, of course, no one could notice it except himself.

In the eyes of others, he is always calm and calm, with a well-thought-out plan.

But there was already a slight but uncontrollable sourness in his heart unconsciously.

Shen Lang is not a saint, so of course he will feel uncomfortable and uneasy.

This sour taste is very familiar, and it is not the first time he has tasted it.

Just when he and Wang Lianhua had just returned to Luoyang from the snow mountain, they were conflicted and troubled.

Wang Lianhua has always been unpredictable, because he doesn't often reveal his true intentions, but to himself, he has revealed enough and given enough.

how to face him

Hadn't his heart already betrayed his reason?

He wanted to see Wang Lianhua, but he didn't want to see him.

He wandered for a few days in the alley outside Wang Lianhua's backyard.At that time, the hidden secrets spread all over Luoyang, some young people who coveted the three beautiful pictures often sneaked outside Wang Lianhua's other garden, and he took action to solve three or four groups.

Finally, Wang Lianhua noticed it.

Shen Lang fled in desperation, wanted to stay away from him, but couldn't stay away, after all, he stared at the young man in scarlet clothes not far or near in the dark.

Later, the beggar gang intervened in this matter, and he had to go to Wang Lianhua for the sake of Panda Er and Zhu Qiqi.

The weather that day was not good, the snow was falling thinly, the sky and the earth were entangled in an endless gray, the light was dim, with oppressive depression.

A little bit of whiteness fell on Shen Lang's shoulders, and he didn't seem to notice it. Standing behind the wall of the plum garden in Wang Lianhua's Bieyuan, he heard some voices inside—the broken woman's cock and the depressed man. gasp.

His heart was filled with a strange and unbearable sourness, which almost made him tremble.

He knew that he had to face it.

At this moment, the sourness rose again.

Why did Lan Er appear here?

She chased all the way here because of Wang Lianhua

Master Dry Willow is of course an important role in the whole thing, and she seems to know a lot.

Shen Lang sat still as usual, no one could see the slightest clue, only he could feel that his fingertips were slightly cold.

From the beginning to the end, Wang Lianhua didn't look up to look at Lan'er, he took a sip of tea from the teacup calmly, and the steaming steam made his face misty.

Master Kuliu's gaze lingered on the two of them, and finally fell on Wang Lianhua, saying: "I know that the prince may have resentment in his heart, but please don't blame Lan'er, all of this It's all arranged by me." His voice was kind, but also so frank that no one could refute it.

Wang Lianhua smiled at Master Kuliu and said, "Master is an eminent monk, he has his own way of doing things, how dare I blame Master for mere mediocrity."

Master Kuliu nodded and sighed: "Next, I will tell you a long story. It may sound boring, but everything is in a cycle of cause and effect, and the law of heaven is clear. The result of today's chaos is exactly what happened in the past. The cause of iniquity."

"Things happened 39 years ago, which is the year of chaos every 13 years..."

"The martial arts 39 years ago was not much different from what it is now. Every day and night, in every corner, there were always enmity and enmity fighting and fighting. At that time, Shen Tianjun, the "King of Kyushu", had not yet become famous. Chai Yuguan was also called Chai Liang. Although his father Chai Yiping was a wealthy man in Central Hubei, he married one wife and six concubines, and had sixteen sons in total. He was just the youngest bastard in the family and had no status at all. A big event has happened in Jianghu."

"At that time, the structure of the Jianghu was not the current two gangs, five factions, three sects, four noble families, and seven or seven 49 small gangs. Famous. The rivers and lakes are dominated by Shaolin and Wudang leaders."

"It was the spring of March when the flowers were red and the willows were green. One of the four great monks in Shaolin—Master Guming, who is also my mentor, was accidentally injured by Wulong Taoist in Wudang for one person, and soon died of his injuries. Wudang Shaolin From then on, it was the beginning of the matter."

Wang Lianhua couldn't help but ask: "What kind of person is it that the head of the Shaolin Dharma Hall, one of the four great monks, Master Gu Ming, made a move for him?"

Master Kuliu said: "Master Zhai has a kind heart, although martial arts are unfathomable, Buddhism is also profound, I don't know the specific situation, I only know that the person who claims to be Xiao Mingsheng is just a young man that Master met by chance when he was traveling. The two had only known each other for a day, but the master had already trusted him extremely. Xiao Minsheng had offended the Wudang faction for some reason before. On the night of the acquaintance, Wulong Taoist, the master of the Wudang faction, chased them to a ruined temple where the two lived. Taoist Wulong held a sword in his hand, full of murderous aura, no matter how Master Guming persuaded him, he could not reduce his determination to kill Xiaominsheng. Therefore, Master Guming promised to take the three palms of Taoist Wulong for Xiaominsheng, and use his flesh and blood Taoist Wulong was the top martial arts master at that time, if he tried his best, let alone three palms, even one palm would be extremely difficult to bear. At that time, Taoist Wulong was indeed so angry that there was nothing in his hand. No mercy. After the third palm strike, Master Guming did not die tragically on the spot, but he vomited blood and fell into a coma. Taoist Wulong looked at Master Guming who was out of breath, and walked away angrily."

Wang Lianhua opened the mouth and said: "Xiao Minsheng is a man with deep scheming, which is rare in the world. I really don't know what method he used to make Master Gu Ming die for him."

Shen Lang said lightly: "Master Gu Ming may not be unable to see through what tricks Xiao Mingsheng used. It is just a generation of eminent monks from Master Gu Ming. Maybe he is just following the example of the Buddha, cutting meat to feed eagles, giving up his life to feed tigers, in order to save himself and others."

Wang Lianhua snorted, not knowing whether it was ridicule or contempt.

Master Kuliu didn't care about it, and continued: "After this incident, Xiao Mingsheng disappeared, but the martial arts world was not peaceful. In the next few months, Shaolin Wudang fought continuously because of this matter. Casualties and hatred are inevitable in the fighting. The incident got deeper and deeper, and the incident continued to expand and escalate. Shaolin Wudang was the Taishan Beidou of martial arts at that time, and how did the rest of the small gangs stand alone? many."

Wang Lianhua sighed: "Where there are people, there will be disputes, so how can the treasure of cheat books alone be able to stir up people's hearts."

Master Kuliu said: "In October, there were traces of Xiao Mingsheng in the rivers and lakes, a wealthy family named Chai in central Hubei."

Wang Lianhua's expression changed slightly, "It must be Chai Yuguan's family."

Master Kuliu nodded and said: "Knowing the news, Shaolin immediately gathered forty disciples to go to Ezhong, Wudang was not to be outdone, and led fifty disciples to go. A lot of small gangs don't know whether it is to help the boxing or to watch the excitement. They went to Hubei one after another, and in a short while, thousands of masters from rivers and lakes gathered in Hubei.

Wang Lianhua's face turned pale, "The next thing must be a tragic fight."

Master Kuliu said: "That fight took place in the Chai family, the wealthy family of the Chai family. The manor is so vast, but overnight, the blood that was flooded up to the ankles. It can be seen that the battle was brutal that night."

Shen Lang asked: "The Shaolin Buddhist sect has always been kind to others, why would they participate in such a fight?"

Master Kuliu showed a bitter smile, "When you are born, you join the world, and when you enter the world, you are born. Although Shaolin disciples are outsiders, they are still standing in the rivers and lakes. How can they truly let go of all nonsense? In fact, this matter has nothing to do with Shaolin itself is also inseparable. At that time, a monk with ulterior motives but a very high status deliberately provoked it. At the beginning, the situation was still under control. Later, Shaolin wanted to withdraw and settle this case with as few casualties as possible. impossible."

Wang Lianhua said: "It turns out that the Chai family destroyed the family in this way, but I still don't understand.

He is already a public enemy of martial arts, why did the Chai family hide him at home?"

Master Kuliu sighed: "Although I don't have personal witnesses for all the Central Plains committees, after that fight, only a handful of people survived. Except for Chai Yiping's youngest son, Chai Liang, the whole Chai family was slaughtered, and the most unthinkable Surprisingly, Xiao Minsheng survived."

Shen Lang said: "Why only Chai Liang and Xiaomin survived, and why Xiaomin hid in Chai's house? From the situation of Chai's house, we can probably guess a thing or two."

Wang Lianhua interjected: "Chai Yiping has many wives and concubines, and Chai Liang's mother is only a concubine, so the living conditions can be imagined. What happened later? Where did Chai Liang and Xiao Minsheng go?"

Master Kuliu said: "There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that after Chai Liang took over the Chai family's Wanguan family wealth, he hung out with the "Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Sect" all day long. After three years, he had no money left and became a monk. But this is not the case. In fact, he has been with Xiaomin all the time. He once told me that in those three years, the two of them indulged in mountains and rivers, traveled all over the world's famous mountains and rivers, and lived a very wanton life. Chai Liang loves money, but he is not restricted by money. He once said, 'I will come back after all the gold is gone, so what I want is this thousand taels of silver and ten thousand taels of gold.' At that time, I knew that he was not a thing in a pool, and there were valleys in his chest."

Shen Lang said: "Master must be Chai Liang who got to know him after worshiping Shaolin."

Master Kuliu said: "Exactly, that year I took over the head of Bodhidharma for just three years."

Shen Lang said: "The Shaolin Dharma Hall manages the martial arts classics of a temple, could it be that Chai Liang entered the Dharma Hall?"

Master Kuliu said: "When he entered my Shaolin, his name was Chai Yuguan. No one knew that he was the posthumous son of the Chai family in Ezhong. Master Kuye, the head of the sect, took him into the temple. Only one month later, because of a little In the quarrel, he actually beat another disciple to serious injury. Only then did everyone realize that this young disciple Chai Yuguan was a master of martial arts. Shaolin has always disliked disciples who introduce martial arts, so Master Withered Leaf ordered him to be removed. The qualification to learn art is only for him to be an ordinary Huogong monk. Shaolin disciples have thousands if not tens of thousands. Everyone quickly put this matter behind and forgot about such an inconspicuous little disciple But I still remember him, just because when he was fighting with another disciple, I saw that he used very subtle moves, which were moves that I had never seen before. I was curious, so I paid special attention to him During his time as a Huogong monk, he kept a low profile and respected all the masters. He seemed to have no complaints about being deprived of his qualifications for learning arts, and he only did his duty well. Later, he was finally I found that all his low-key and duty are just to let everyone ignore him and trust him, so as to achieve the purpose of sneaking into the Bodhidharma hall to steal art."

Shen Lang said: "This is indeed what Chai Yuguan will do. He is a person who is both tolerant and tough for his own goals."

Master Kuliu nodded, "That day, he was flipping through scriptures in the scripture building of Dharma Hall. The moves he made were exquisite, and his moves were so sophisticated that he could almost compete with many masters who had been immersed in martial arts for decades. It's just that he couldn't tell which school or school his martial arts came from. Dozens After the move, I subdued him. There was no guilt on his face, he just closed his mouth tightly and looked at me with a firm gaze. On the one hand, I was surprised by his martial arts, but on the other hand, I really couldn't figure it out. How did I get the key to the scripture building, because I am the only one who has the key to the scripture building in the entire monastery."

Wang Lianhua turned her eyes and said: "So the master concealed this matter for him."

Although he asked a bit bluntly, but Master Kuliu was not angry, and said with a bitter smile: "At that time, I actually started to love talents. He is talented, intelligent, and has a resolute temperament, just like a piece of unrevealed If rough jade can be carved more, it will definitely become famous in the Jianghu."

Shen Lang sighed: "The master is not mistaken, Chai Yuguan is indeed a hero of the whole life."

Master Kuliu sighed deeply, "So, I concealed the fact that he entered the Jingge to learn Shaolin's superb art secretly, and in the next two years, I silently allowed him to sneak into the Jingge again and again. The head of the Bodhidharma hall has the heavy responsibility of being in charge of the Jingge, who would have thought that I would guard and steal myself?" Speaking of this, his always solemn and peaceful face finally showed a look of sadness that he could not bear to look back on.

"Two years later, the matter finally came to light. The two of us were tied up in front of the senior brother who was in charge of the sect, and he interrogated him personally. At that time, I had a heart to protect each other and took responsibility with all my strength. I only said that I approved Chai Yuguan to enter the Jing Pavilion." , Senior Brother Sect Leader was furious, I still remember the eyes of Senior Brother Sect Leader at that time, he stared at Chai Yuguan, who was kneeling on the ground with straight back and calm expression like a sharp sword, both frightened and sad, he seemed to have felt What, but he didn't say much, he just expelled me and Chai Yuguan from Shaolin together. Although Chai Yuguan only stayed in Shaolin for three short years, when he left, his martial arts had advanced by leaps and bounds, and he had already entered the ranks of masters."

"After Chai Yuguan and I left Shaolin, Chai Yuguan was grateful for my kindness and worshiped me as a adoptive father. He stayed with me for a period of time and we lived in Ezhong. He was very filial and obedient. In our Half a year later, a person came to the door suddenly."
