Chapter 68 Commandments(1/2)
In Xuanku's eyes, there is no difference in religion. He has never been too slow to treat Qiao Feng's family because of his poor family.
Moreover, although Xuan Ku has always known Qiao Feng's identity, he has never discriminated against him at all. On the contrary, he is particularly caring.
He once told Xuan Ci that Qiao Feng knew how to respect his parents since he was a child, and often had the style of righteousness and chivalrous behavior. Such children are definitely a talent for creation.
Xuanci believed in Junior Brother Xuanku's judgment, so even if he failed to persuade Wang Jian, he never thought of using the power of the Shaolin Sect to cause trouble for Qiao Feng.
Since both of his close relatives and friends think that Qiao Feng is the right candidate, why should he bother to do so?
At this time, Xu Yang mentioned Xuan Ju, which also moved Xuan Ci.
"If I can't find the whereabouts of the traitor within one month after I return to the temple, I will allow you to search the palace for three days."
This is already the biggest concession that Xuan Ci can make.
Xu Yang smiled and nodded: "Yes!"
Seeing that Xu Yang agreed, Xuan Ci ignored him. Instead, he stepped forward and grabbed Ye Erniang's hand and asked, "Where is our child? Where have you taken him for so many years?"
Xuanci was in trouble many years ago, but he was in love with Ye Erniang for a night without regard for his identity, so he violated the precept of lust.
After that, he regretted it and didn't even want to see this gentle woman again, but he couldn't help it and went to see her again a few months later.
At that time, she was already pregnant and could not hide her body. Her old father beat her and the villagers insulted her, but she forced herself to do so and never said his name.
He saw all this.
From that moment on, he devoted himself to this evil fate. He only wanted Ye Erniang to give birth to a child in the future, and he would find another excuse to return to secular life and take care of the child with her.
For this reason, Xuanci also specially found a farmer and placed Ye Erniang without letting anyone disturb her.
He is the next head of the Shaolin Sect, and he is not able to go down the mountain to meet his lover secretly anytime and anywhere.
Especially when you are guilty and afraid that others will find out, you are even more careful. You often only need to visit once a month or two.
During the last visit, the child should be born. He finally found the opportunity and rushed to the foot of the mountain with a anxious heart, but what he saw was...
An old couple from the farm house fell into a pool of blood, and Ye Erniang and the child disappeared.
He thought they were all dead until today.
Xuan Cicai met this woman again for the first time many years later, the only woman he loved in his life.
Time flies and time changes, and the friendships of the past have long been erased.
The only thing he cares about now is his own children.
Is it a man? A woman? Are you living well?
Thinking of this place, Xuan Ci suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart, and he remembered it.
Ye Erniang is called "every evil" in the world because she can kidnap, rob other people's children, and then kill them.
If her child is still there, why would she be so crazy?
Could it be...?
Impossible, this is impossible!
He asked Ye Erniang a little crazy, and Ye Erniang answered with tears.
Xuan Ci was so heartless that she finally found clues, but the child was gone after all.
"That child, that child..., after he was born, he was taken away by the evil man. I have been looking for him for many years, but I don't want to..." Ye Erniang choked and said, "He has been by your side for twenty-four years. Have you never even seen him more?"
"What?" Xuanci was stunned and said: "You mean, this kid has been in Shaolin all the time?"
I suffered too many blows today, and only this sentence made him completely lose his mind.
Ye Erniang nodded and said, "I didn't know where he was, or what the owner of Young Master You told me."
Xuan Ci moved her head to Xu Yang woodenly. Xu Yang looked at him and nodded.
"It is precisely because of this that I told you in advance and hope you will cooperate. The evil man is not only your enemy, but also one of the murderers who framed my elder brother Qiao Feng. Our interests are the same."
Although Xuanci was dissatisfied with the other party's words of interest, he always nodded and asked, "How do you want me to act?"
Xu Yang smiled faintly and whispered in his ear for a number of words.
Xuan Ci raised her eyebrows: "Is this really going to happen?"
"Do you want him to be a monk for the rest of your life?" Xu Yang asked.
Xuanci shook his head.
He had no choice to be the abbot of Shaolin. His teacher's kindness was too strong, so he had to devote his life to the ancient Buddha of Qinglan.
But this child is different, he still has a broad life to go.
"Then..., that's it."
…………
In the afternoon, in the small courtyard where the Shaolin School is located, Xu Zhu is helping in the kitchen.
This was not his business, but the senior brother who was in charge of washing dishes suddenly became ill, so he had to take over the mission.
Fortunately, his life was not heavy, so Xu Zhu didn't want to blame anything, just washed the dishes one by one.
Master once said that when you practice Zen and realize the truth, you will walk and stand.
Xu Zhu felt that since this is the case, isn’t washing dishes a kind of practice?
There was someone watching at the door, and he noticed it without raising his head.
But, it's so strange, what's good about washing a few dishes?
Xu Zhu was just a little surprised that someone was so idle.
"Xuzhu, the head of the precepts court asked you to pay homage." The man looked at him for a long time, but only said one sentence.
Xu Zhu immediately put down the work in his hand.
Master Xuan Ji, the first elder of the Precepts Academy, is the junior brother of Abbot Xuanci. He is the most fair and rigorous person. Although he will definitely not have any good things to find Xu Zhu, Xu Zhu dare not be negligent at all.
He looked up and recognized the monk who was talking, Huiyan, the law-enforcement monk from the Precepts Academy.
This person has always been famous for his profound martial arts among monks of the Hui generation.
This is because I'm afraid I will run away.
After Huiyan finished speaking, she left on her own. Xu Zhu followed him and trotted to the front yard.
Fortunately, this is a temporary residence in the Leigushan Valley and is not very big. Otherwise, if you were in Shaolin Temple, you would have to run half an hour before you could run from the backyard to the precepts courtyard.
When he arrived at a small house, Huiyan knocked on the door, and then heard a slightly old sound from his internal force, letting him in.
After entering the house and handing over the mission, Huiyan retreated aside. Xu Zhu saw the first head of the legendary precepts academy for the first time.
It’s not that he hasn’t peeked at it before, but only face to face. This is the first time.
Although this elder with strict law enforcement is Xuan Ci's junior brother, he looks a few years older than Abbot Xuan Ci's. His hair and beard are already gray, and his eyes are divine.
"You are Xu Zhu?" Xuan Ji asked.
Xu Zhu's seniority was two generations later than Xuan Ji. When he heard his question, he immediately knelt down and leaned over and said in a panic: "Go back to Master Xuan Ji, the little monk is Xu Zhu."
If there are too many, he wouldn't dare to ask a single word.
"I heard that you and your senior brother Xu Bai have often had conflicts recently?" Xuan Ji asked again.
Xu Zhu was stunned for a moment.
Xu Bai is his senior brother, but he never likes him. He is lazy and lazy on weekdays. Even Xu Zhu, who has always been kind to others, looks down on this senior brother in his heart.
But it is absolutely impossible to say that he and Xu Bo have conflicts and quarrels.
Xu Zhu is not that kind of person.
"Returning to Master Xuanji's uncle, the young monk has never had any conflicts with Senior Brother Xubai, so there is no such thing."
The tone was firm because he really hadn't done it.
After hearing this, Xuan Ji had no other statement, but just stared at Xu Zhu.
This kind of thing between two people is hard to say. One side says there is something, and the other side says there is nothing, and there is really no way to judge.
However, since this incident was heard by senior brother Xuan Ci, and Xu Bai admitted it, there must be no problem.
Xu Zhu looks quite honest, but he can't deceive me.
He said lightly: "Xu Bai has already confessed his guilt and accepted the punishment. I know that he is used to bullying the weak. I guess you have been bullied by him, so I talked back. There is nothing big, so you can admit it."
If it were ordinary, Xu Zhu might have accepted it, but he had never done this before, and he had never even thought about how to admit it?
He was excited for a moment and shouted: "This is absolutely true. Please ask Master Xuanji to find out the truth!"
Xuan Ji frowned. It seemed that this little monk was not honest.
He did not listen to his defense and said loudly: "Xu Zhu, a disciple of the third generation of Shaolin, first disagrees with his fellow disciples and violated the precept of evil words; he also attempted to obsess with his master and violated the precept of lies. He was punished for both crimes, and he should have been punished for twenty spine. He thought that he was just the first crime, and he had ten spine records. The law-enforcement monks should use the battle!"
Huiyan, who was standing beside him, came forward holding a "guarding stick" in his hand, lifted Xu Zhu's monk's robe and exposed her back.
On a mound in the distance, Ye Erniang immediately covered her mouth when she saw this scene.
