Chapter 177 The battle for dormitory chief

There were some things next to the wooden bed, belonging to other senior brothers. Li Xiu did not move them. He walked to the wooden window and propped it up to get some air.

The wooden windows are covered with a layer of oil paper, which is very windproof and not afraid of wind and rain.

Li Xiu started to tidy up the room and laid out his luggage. After finishing it, Li Xiu lay on the bed and had a good sleep.

In the haze, Li Xiu heard a few crisp bells, and then the sound of a large number of footsteps climbing the stairs. He sat up gently and looked outside the bedroom door.

A group of bright and bald men rushed into the corridor of the dormitory like crucian carp crossing the river, and then climbed to the roof of the dormitory temple.

It wasn't until half an hour later that three gray monks in their twenties, two tall and one short, walked into the dormitory where Li Xiu was.

"Eh? Are you a monk on duty? Why didn't you attend the morning class?" A burly black man asked in a buzzing voice.

"Even if he is a monk on duty, he shouldn't have finished his work after we came back!" Another burly white man said in a buzzing voice.

"Are you two stupid? Looking at his old appearance, he shouldn't be a monk on duty!" The short gray-clothed monk looked at Li Xiu's whole body, and then looked at the made bed.

"Are you a new Zen monk in the temple?" the short monk pointed at Li Xiu and asked.

Li Xiu stepped forward and saluted, and replied: "Exactly, a few junior brothers and poor monks just entered the temple today!"

"Um?"

"Um?"

"Junior brother?"

When two monks in gray clothes, one tall and one short, heard Li Xiu calling them junior brother, their expressions instantly turned ugly.

"You dare to say that Zen monk is our senior brother? Don't you know the rules of this temple?" The short monk said with his arms crossed. The two big monks beside him also hugged their shoulders and looked at Li Xiu with a sneer.

"Zen monk? Then what kind of monks are you?" Looking at the postures of these three people, Li Xiu also asked with his arms crossed.

"Humph! We are warrior monks! We practice martial arts every day and exercise our bodies. We are much better than Zen monks!" the short monk said disdainfully, while the two taller monks nodded in agreement.

"That's not necessarily the case! What are the names of the disciples of the Poor Monk Dharma Assembly Kuju?" Li Xiu asked, hugging his shoulders.

"Humph! It's hard work!" the big black man said proudly.

"Humph! It's hard work!" the big white man said proudly.

Li Xiu became more and more worried as he listened, and he looked at the short monk anxiously.

"Kuzhu! I am the boss of this dormitory." The short monk had a majestic expression.

"Huh~ Fortunately, there are plants!" Li Xiu was greatly relieved.

"What?" Kuzhu didn't know what Li Xiu meant.

"We are all Zen monks and warrior monks who live together here. We are all monks of the hard-working generation. They have all been in the temple for less than ten years!"

"It is said that they will not be separated until they reach the intermediate level of Wuchan Academy!"

"It's really weird! Last year there weren't even any working-study monks, but this year there are two. Boss! Come on! Give him a try!" said the big black monk with great pains.

"Boss, the newcomer is here, you must try your skills, come on!" the big white monk said with difficulty.

The short monk Kuzhu coughed lightly and said: "It's like this. We have a rule in Qishe. The new working-study monks have to show their martial arts strength. So, I want to compete with you."

"Hmm? Are you sure?"

Li Xiu put down his hands and stepped back little by little.

"Sure! Whoever wins will be the boss of Qishe!" Kuzhu also put on his posture.

Black and White painstakingly made room for the two monks, leaving the middle spot of the dormitory to Li Xiu and Ku Zhu.

Li Xiu lowered his hands to the ground and faced Kuzhu with the stance of defending the ground with the Golden Kung Fu.

Kuzhu also took up the Luohan Fist stance, and the inner strength in his body held up the monk's clothes.

"Hi!"

"ah!"

The two of them exchanged hands in the open space in the middle of the dormitory.

Li Xiu used the ground-defending golden skill to lie down on the ground. He raised both legs to meet Ku Zhu's Arhat Fist.

The two of them were punching and kicking each other, and the fight was getting faster and faster.

Kuzhu had never encountered such a weird move before. It was extremely difficult for him to parry with his fists and kicks. He couldn't dodge and was kicked in the shoulder by Li Xiu.

Kuzhu took half a step back and changed his moves, using another set of diamond kicks to attack Li Xiu who was lying on the ground.

When Li Xiu was dodging and moving, he grabbed one of Kuzhu's legs with the ground-defending golden skill in his hand, and his hands climbed onto Kuzhu's neck.

With a little force on his feet, Li Xiu kicked Ku Zhu firmly in the stomach. Ku Zhu fell to the ground and Li Xiu flicked the ashes on his hands.

"Ku Xin and Ku Shen, why don't you two junior fellow apprentices also come to compete?" Li Xiu smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

"No, no, no, senior brother Kuju, you will be the boss of Qishe from now on!" he said with great pains.

"Yes, yes, boss!" Kushen also echoed.



With painstaking efforts and painstaking efforts, Kushu was carried to the bed after fainting, and Li Xiu also began to ask about some of the daily activities of Pagoda Temple.

Every day at dawn, you have to get up and wash yourself, and both Zen monks and martial monks have morning classes.

From Mao hour to Chen time, we have morning classes and chant sutras, and we have fasting meals at Si Shi. After the fasting meal, the warrior monks go to practice martial arts, and the Zen monks go to the meditation room to chant sutras and meditate.

Before the transition, the warrior monk and the Zen monk returned to the dining hall to have a fast meal.

From Youshi to Xushi is evening class time. Warrior monks practice their internal strength, while Zen monks chant sutras and meditate.

Every ten days, a master from the Discipline Academy will come to test the martial arts progress of the disciples of the Kuzi generation.

The Zen monastery also has teachers from the Mo Ke Yuan who teach and chant Sanskrit texts.

There are martial arts secret books and Buddhist scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion. They can only be entered once a month and cannot be taken out. They can only be recorded and studied in the Zen room inside the Sutra Pavilion.

Both warrior monks and Zen monks can apply to go to the Zen room for retreat. Someone will bring water and fast meals every day, but there is only one fast meal every day.

The Zen period ranges from seven days, twenty-eight days, to forty-nine days and ninety-one days. If you choose different days, vegetarian food will become less and less. The ninety-one-day Zen period may even lead to fasting without food or water. Go ahead! Only those eminent monks dare to choose the 49-day and 91-day Zen periods.

In addition to the Sutra Pavilion, the Moko Academy, the Discipline Academy, and the Bodhi Academy of the Pagoda Temple are the three largest departments of the Pagoda Temple, which are similar to the various departments of a university.

Downward are several halls: Luohan Hall, Faxiang Hall, Qingyin Hall, Fanyin Hall, Kuchan Hall, Mingji Hall, and Wooden Hall.

Further down: Zhaijiayuan, Xichenyuan, Zhikeyuan, Incense-burning Yard, and Dormitory Yard.

The last one is the inner courtyard! Non-inner courtyard disciples are not allowed to enter, and inner courtyard disciples are not allowed to go out and mingle with others.

Li Xiu listened quietly, and the pagoda temple did have too many institutions. No wonder, it is normal for a large temple with tens of thousands of people to have more departments.

While the three of them were talking, Monk Kuzhu, who was lying on the bed, had already woken up.

Kuzhu's eyes were burning, and he said angrily: "Kuju! You used the martial arts outside the Pagoda Temple (not the Jinzhang Buddhist Kingdom) to defeat me and become the boss of Qishe. The uncle of the Discipline Academy will not recognize you! Instead, you will be abolished.

Your martial arts!"

"Hahaha, I am a working Zen monk who was invited here. The rules of the temple are of no use to me! But you should call me senior brother now!" Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Huh! I will surpass you sooner or later!" Kuzhu slammed the door and left.

My mind is in a state of confusion, so I can only learn from the plot of Third Brother’s anime.
