Su Zichen, who was in the realm of death, was already determined to die when he chose to carry out this task. However, as the task was completed step by step, a glimmer of life emerged in Su Zichen's heart.
He has passed all the previous hurdles, and now he is considered a core disciple of the Shaolin Temple, a heroic figure among his peers, and is only one step away from the final mission.
So Su Zichen really fantasized about completing his mission, making great contributions to Mr. Su, and finally being designated as the successor to the next generation head of the Su family. Those who had previously laughed at him were horrified by this scene.
Of course, Su Zichen would not be dazzled by this scene. The more this happened, the stronger his desire for survival became, and he became more careful and cautious in doing things.
After all, he was able to do this when he had the intention to die before. Now that he wants to continue living, he must do better.
Putting away his skills, Su Zichen stood up and prepared to go around the Arhat Hall. It was noon now, and dinner was about to begin in the Arhat Hall. After lunch, Xuan Shen would come to the Arhat Hall to explain martial arts to them.
Su Zichen will also be present at that time.
The moment he opened the door, a young monk wearing gray robes suddenly appeared in front of him.
The moment he saw the young monk, a look of panic suddenly appeared in Su Zichen's eyes, which also revealed a trace of ferocious murderous intent. After all, in a place like this, Su Zichen was always prepared to kill and silence him after being discovered.
Prepare.
But when Su Zichen saw the monk's appearance, he immediately put away these strange emotions and just pretended to be frightened. He smiled and said: "It turns out to be Senior Brother Yuankong. Senior Brother is standing at my door. Why don't you knock on the door?"
What? It almost scared me.
Senior brother, are you going to have dinner too? That's just right, we senior brothers will go together."
The young monk in gray robes in front of him had an ordinary appearance and seemed a bit dull. Only his eyes were frighteningly bright, as if he could see everything clearly.
This young monk is Yuan Kong, the most legendary disciple of this generation in the Shaolin Temple. He enlightened himself from a novice monk in one move and became the most outstanding disciple of the younger generation in the Shaolin Temple. His Buddhist attainments are not even comparable to those of some older warriors in the Shaolin Temple.
.
Su Zichen was very afraid of Yuan Kong.
During this year, no one in the Shaolin Temple could detect anything wrong with him. Only Yuan Kong in front of him seemed to have discovered something. His eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, which made Su Zichen feel a little shuddering.
At this time, Yuan Kong shook his head. He just looked at Su Zichen and said slowly in a dull and emotionless tone: "Just now, I felt that there was an extremely subtle trace of evil energy here, so I
Come and see, Junior Brother Kukai, why did you panic when you saw me? Why was there murderous intent in your eyes? Do you want to kill me?"
Su Zichen's heart tightened, but he still laughed and said: "This is the Shaolin Temple, where does the devilish energy come from? People with devilish energy on their bodies are all locked up in the Black Prison and the Demon Suppressing Tower.
And Senior Brother Yuankong, are you afraid that you are dazzled by reading the Buddhist scriptures? You and I are senior brothers, and I was just startled by you. How could I be panicked? There is no possibility of murder.
Okay, senior brother, I’m going to eat first, you can do whatever you want.”
With that said, Su Zichen walked away quickly. He always felt that this Yuan Kong was a little weird. The other person's eyes seemed to be able to see through him. The murderous intention just now was only revealed subconsciously by Su Zichen, and it was even hidden in his eyes.
Deep down in my heart, I didn't expect to be seen through by Yuan Kong.
Yuan Kong, who was behind, looked at Su Zichen's back with an inexplicable look in his eyes. He murmured, "Are you being fooled? I hope so."
At this time, in the dining hall of Luohan Hall, Su Zichen walked in and greeted the other disciples with a smile.
"Senior Brother Yuan Hai is here!"
"Senior brother, I heard that you have recently successfully cultivated the Great Monument Slammer. Even Master said that your Great Monument Slammer already has 80% of his charm."
"Senior Brother Yuan Hai, when will you tell us about the outside world again? Are the secret guards under Su Xin so cruel?"
Su Zichen walked all the way with a warm smile on his face and answered them one by one without any impatient expression.
In this year, Su Zichen can be said to have done well among the disciples of Shaolin Temple. He is a warrior who was born as a secret guard. He has performed many tasks in a secret capacity in the past, and his methods are better than those who joined him since he was a child.
In the Shaolin Temple, the young monk who had never been in the martial arts world was too strong. He only used some unobvious methods to gain the respect of these young warriors in the Shaolin Temple and became one with them completely.
Even compared to the somewhat dull and unkind Yuan Kong, Su Zichen's popularity was much higher than him.
At this time, a strong monk and a group of novice novices brought up bowls of food. There were rice, steamed buns, vegetables and fruits, but most of them were chicken, duck, fish and other items.
The outside world thinks that the monks in Shaolin Temple are all vegetarians. In fact, this is not the case. Only some warriors above the realm of gods are vegetarians, and only part of them. The remaining warriors who are innate and acquired must eat meat.
Martial arts training itself consumes energy, especially since nature and nurture are basically a process of refining and transforming qi. If you can't even eat enough, why are you practicing martial arts? I'm afraid you can't even hold a knife or a gun.
Moreover, the so-called abstinence from meat in Buddhism is not meat, but pungent foods such as onions, garlic, leeks, etc. However, in the later period of Buddhism, Zen and Tantra were separated, and many ascetics emerged from Zen Buddhism, who began to abstain from meat as well.
If you lose it, you will only eat green vegetables and white rice. Those with advanced cultivation may even start fasting directly.
This has been passed down from generation to generation. There are not many warriors above the level of gods in Shaolin Temple who eat meat. If they do, it is just a personal preference.
"You bastards! Dinner is ready!"
The sturdy monk shouted, and the other Shaolin Temple disciples immediately gathered around him laughing and joking.
This sturdy monk is the kitchen steward Jue Cheng, who is a generation older than the disciples of the Yuanzi generation present. However, his talent is not good. He was stuck at the peak of the innate world for more than ten years and never broke through to the gods.
It was his master who begged for a Great Return Pill and personally helped him clear his meridians, which allowed him to reach the realm of divine transformation.
It's just that his martial arts talent is not good. Even when he reaches the realm of transformation, he is still the weakest in the realm of transformation. However, Jue Cheng has always liked cooking, so he invited himself to the kitchen to be responsible for the meals of these warriors in Shaolin Temple.
, although he looks a bit ferocious and has a bad temper, he is really kind to these young disciples and makes them some delicious food in different ways every day.
Seeing Su Zichen coming over, Jue Cheng pulled him aside and said with a smile: "Boy Yuan Hai, you are lucky. The boy in my kitchen caught two rabbits while cutting firewood in the back mountain this morning. They are very fat.
Knowing how good you are, come to my kitchen in the afternoon and cook one braised in braised pork and the other barbecued. Remember, don’t let other little bastards see it."
Su Zichen smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Uncle Juecheng."
Because Su Xin had said that the medicine would be put into the meals of lower-level disciples, Su Zichen had been close to Jue Cheng, who was in charge of the kitchen, from the very beginning, and with his methods, he quickly established a relationship with this uncle.
Because of Jue Cheng's own strength, some warriors of his generation or the younger generation of warriors who have entered the realm of gods don't think highly of him. Although the Shaolin Temple has strict etiquette, it is still a martial arts sect after all, and everyone looks up to their strength.
Only Yuan Hai is one of the most outstanding disciples of the younger generation, and he is also a being in the realm of gods, but he does not show the slightest disrespect towards him. He always shouts one master at a time, which makes Jue
Cheng was very useful, so he naturally looked up to him in a different light.
Generally, outsiders are not allowed to enter the kitchen of Shaolin Temple after meal time, and even they themselves have to leave, but Jue Cheng is the manager of the kitchen, so he is naturally an exception, and in this three-acre area of the kitchen,
Who can take care of him? The Xuan generation warriors in Shaolin Temple would never take care of a place like the kitchen.
There was a glint in Su Zichen's eyes. He had already taken the last step of the task.
At this moment, Yuan Kong also walked into the dining hall, but the dining hall, which was still noisy before, immediately became quiet the moment Yuan Kong entered.
Among the younger generation of disciples, Yuan Kong's popularity is not good. After all, he used to be a little novice who swept the floor and did chores, not a warrior monk. He has nothing to do with the many disciples present, and he does not have the long-sleeved dancing skills of Su Zichen.
So it's normal that no one likes it.
However, he has a rigid way of life. If he sees a fellow disciple violating the precepts, he will definitely tell the elders of his disciples. This kind of behavior that does not consider the feelings of his fellow disciples will definitely be disgusted by others.
As for the last reason, it is naturally because of jealousy, but it is not Yuan Kong who is jealous of others, but others who are jealous of him.
Even the eminent monks in the Shaolin Temple cannot give up these three thoughts of greed, anger, and ignorance, let alone these young disciples who have just entered the Shaolin Temple and are still ignorant of Buddhism.
Yuan Kong jumped from a young novice to a warrior in the realm of gods, a direct disciple of Abbot Xuanming. There are definitely jealous people among these people. When they amplify this emotion, and then contact other people about Yuan Kong
Things naturally led to the current situation where he was rejected by almost all the young disciples.
On the contrary, this situation will not happen to Su Zichen. One is related to his methods, and the other is his experience.
After all, the entire Shaolin Temple now knows that he was chased thousands of miles by Su Xin's secret guards, and he went through countless lives and deaths before arriving at the Shaolin Temple. It was not easy, so these people subconsciously felt sympathy for Su Zichen.
, thinking that his current cultivation potential is inseparable from his past sufferings. This kind of thing cannot be replicated, and naturally no one will be jealous.
