Chapter 8 Who moved my manuscript?

In the early morning of winter, Yang Kang woke up and turned around to the sound of chanting in the temple.

He stayed up very late last night sorting out the translation manuscripts, and was too lazy to get up in the morning. Fortunately, this is not a palace, so he doesn't have to get up early to greet his parents, and there is no maid or mother-in-law waiting on him carefully outside. Occasionally, he just lies in bed and is in a daze.

A nice enjoyment.

When I passed the bamboo courtyard, I met a monk and talked to him, so I had half a day's leisure.

This is a state of life.

However, the next moment he sat up in shock, because he saw a few thin pieces of paper on the desk. Yang Kang clearly remembered that he had packed up all the manuscripts last night. Why was there still paper on the desk?

Someone entered his room and left a few pieces of paper...

This discovery made him a little shocked. He quickly got out of bed, came to the table, picked up the paper on the table, and read it carefully. It was his translation manuscript, but he added many comments next to the manuscript.

The comments not only pointed out the errors and omissions in the translation, but also gave correct answers. There was a strong sense of confidence in the words. It can be seen from the critical tone that the person who wrote the comments felt very good about himself.

Yang Kang found that if this translation looked more like a martial arts secret book, perhaps this would be the most correct translation.

Shaolin Temple is indeed a crouching tiger, hidden dragon!

While he was sighing, he was also horrified. Someone could come to his room without anyone noticing, and then correct the manuscript in a big way. What kind of master is this? I'm afraid it's on the same level as Wu Jue.

Could it be him?

Yang Kang couldn't help but doubt the strange man who had a drinking contest with Wang Chongyang. Since the "Nine Suns Sutra" has not yet been written in the "Lengjia Sutra", it means that the strange man has not left the Shaolin Temple, but is hiding somewhere in the temple.

He had two choices at this time. One was to leave the Shaolin Temple directly with the manuscript and start practicing the "Nine Yin Manual". He would specialize in one subject and ignore the "Nine Yang Manual" that was not known to have been created.

.

The other option is to stay in Shaolin Temple and find that strange man to see if there is any chance to get some guidance.

Yang Kang's biggest problem has always been that he doesn't have a master with unparalleled martial arts skills. Mei Chaofeng only knows how to practice hard without caring about right or wrong. He has a defensive attitude towards Qiu Chuji, so naturally he won't ask some advanced martial arts questions.

What's more, Qiu Chuji is just a top-notch master.

If there is a peerless master as a master, he will not have to grope so hard on his own. As long as the master gives a few hints on key points, countless detours will be avoided and the dangers in the practice process will be minimized.

Yang Kang decided to stay and try his luck. He did not make this decision arbitrarily. From this strange man's willingness to correct the manuscript, it can be seen that this man has no ill intentions towards Yang Kang and may have some protective meaning. Although he does not know the reason, he does

You can try to make friends.

This is opportunity.

The next step is how to find this opportunity. If you do nothing, there will be top masters rushing to recruit apprentices. That is the treatment that only the protagonist can get. Yang Kang has always regarded himself as the villain, and the villain has to do it himself in order to have enough food and clothing.

There are hundreds of official monks in the Shaolin Temple, plus monks from other temples and handymen who serve the temple, the total number is close to a thousand. It is really not easy to find that strange person among these thousands of people.

Yang Kang couldn't put up a missing person notice and look for the person in a big way. He could only judge by his own observation. His focus was on the handymen. In his impression, the best masters were inconspicuous.

In order to have a general impression of the Shaolin monks and to find the strange man as soon as possible, he asked Peng Lianhu and Sha Tongtian to purchase thousands of cotton monk robes. It was already winter, and these cold-proof monk robes were just distributed to the monks.

and the hands of the handyman.

This reason makes perfect sense. Believers often go to the temple to donate money and materials. Yang Kanglai is very low-key in the Shaolin Temple and claims to be a son of a wealthy family. Only Abbot Zhilong and a few management members know his identity. This is different from the Quanzhen Sect.

It's the same reason not to publicize Yang Kang's identity to the outside world. They don't want to be tainted with too much political color.

The Buddha said it cannot be said, and this is the truth.

Abbot Zhilong was quite surprised by the actions of the young prince of the Kingdom of Jin. What surprised him was not that Yang Kang donated cotton clothes, but that Yang Kang personally delivered the cotton clothes to each monk. It seemed that the young prince did not look like someone who was seeking fame.

, why bother to act like this?

An accident was an accident. Abbot Zhilong did not dissuade Yang Kang from doing it. After all, it was a good deed.

Yang Kang asked people to carry cotton-padded clothes and began to distribute them in the temple. In the process, he carefully observed the actions and expressions of each monk, trying to find that strange person.

"Are there no other monks in the temple?" Yang Kang asked after the distribution was completed.

"There should be none." The young monk responsible for cooperating with Yang Kang counted the names on the list and nodded, "The rest are tenant farmers, but they are not monks in the temple, do they still need to be distributed?"

"No need." Yang Kang shook his head and walked back to the room.

He is not here to do good deeds. In the past two days, he has met all the monks and servants in the Shaolin Temple. He has met all kinds of monks, but none of them made him feel special. It seems that opportunities are not so easy to find.

He has been lingering in Shaolin Temple for more than half a month. The winter solstice is approaching and he is going back to Kaifeng Mansion. It seems that his opportunity has not come yet and the strange man is unwilling to see him, Yang Kang thought with some frustration.

There is a saying that if you plant flowers intentionally, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will create shade. Things will always take a turn for the worse inadvertently.

After the librarian of the Sutra Pavilion annotated the Sanskrit outline of the "Nine Yin Manual", he actually realized some martial arts principles from the outline. He has been hiding in the Sutra Pavilion these days to study, without knowing it at all.

Yang Kang was going through a lot of trouble to find him.

When he came to the Shaolin Temple, he was not a formal monk, but had an affiliation. His name was not on the list of the Shaolin Temple. In addition, he lived in seclusion. Except for some young monks doing chores in the Sutra Pavilion, there were few

The monk remembers his presence.

At this time, the librarian was thinking about a very profound martial arts question. What would happen if the "Nine Yin Manual" and the "Nine Yang Manual" were merged?

One is the general outline of martial arts in the world, and the other is the general outline of internal strength in the world. If they are combined, will it create a super martial arts grandmaster that is unique in the world?

This would be a very interesting experiment. He decided to find someone to cooperate with him in completing this experiment. Yang Kang, who had already started practicing the "Nine Yin Manual", was undoubtedly an excellent candidate. In other words, the opportunity that Yang Kang had been looking for finally arrived.

, finally a peerless master was willing to teach him martial arts.

As for why this librarian doesn't practice by himself and become a super martial arts master...
