Gu Cheng did not expect that the princess went to no ordinary temple, but to the famous Taishan Beidou in the martial arts world.
No wonder it’s been half a year since Lin’an was away from Songshan Mountain.
"That's wrong! Considering the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty, Songshan Mountain is not within the territory, so how can she go to Shaolin... Wait, Zen Master Ku Hui is the head of the Arhat Hall that split Shaolin!"
Gu Cheng, who has cultivated his five senses in the Lian Shen line, has quick thinking and amazing memory. In an instant, he recalled an important plot of the original work from this inconspicuous name.
This actually involves a problem. Shaolin is famous in Tianlong, and three of the strongest four have practiced Shaolin's secrets. However, when it comes to Shooting Condor and Divine Condor, Shaolin has almost no role. The two Huashan sword debates are basically useless.
Did not participate.
why is that?
Gu admits that there are two main reasons.
The first is that Songshan was not within the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty, so it did not dare to confront Jin Guoming. Its position was quite embarrassing, and it was better not to appear at all.
Secondly, during this period, the Huo Gong Toutuo incident occurred, which caused the Shaolin Temple to split and its strength was greatly reduced.
It is mentioned in The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slaying that there once was a Tutuo who was a fire-maker in the kitchen in Shaolin. Because he refused to obey the rules, he secretly learned martial arts, killed and injured a group of monks, and finally escaped. Zhao Min's servants A Er and A San are the descendants of this person.
This was not a big deal in the first place. Any sect that has been passed down for many years will always have some accidents.
But it happened to be such a small person, which caused the senior monks in the temple to have a big dispute and blame each other. Finally, Ku Hui, the leader of Luohan Hall, was very sad and angry at the way the monks were passing the blame. In anger, he went to the Western Regions and founded the Shaolin sect in the Western Regions.
As a result, the Shaolin Temple's vitality was seriously damaged, and it was not until the Yitian period that it recovered and regained its former strength and status.
"Then what happened with Huogong Tutuo?"
"It should have happened! Otherwise, this old monk wouldn't have appeared here. Could it be that he wanted to beg for alms?"
This information flashed through Gu Cheng's mind. When he looked at Zen Master Ku Hui again, his eyes had a hint of teasing that was not easy to detect. He smiled and said: "It turns out that this is the first seat of Luohan Hall. I have admired it for a long time!"
Zen Master Ku Hui was suddenly startled.
Since the death of Abbot Xuanci, Shaolin's martial arts reputation has plummeted, and the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed, which has been even more implicated. These generations of disciples have been very low-key and never left the mountain. Even people in the world can't reveal his identity. This person
What's wrong with His Royal Highness King Jia...
"Could Song Ting have the intention to attack Wulin?" After the extreme shock, he became vigilant.
Ku Hui is not a monk who just practices hard, otherwise he would not have the courage to break through the door and start thinking about it from a title.
The princess watched eagerly, waiting for the eminent monk to stand up for her. Unexpectedly, Ku Hui's long eyebrows were fluttering, and she was reciting some scriptures about Amitabha Buddha in her mouth, and she suddenly fainted.
"It's quite majestic, but you don't know how to show mercy to women, you stinky man!"
At this time, Feng Heng was keenly aware of Gu Cheng's intention to stay away from the princess. He was inadvertently involved in the whirlpool and became a shield. He was filled with hatred, but he looked sideways at him and in a few words, he suppressed all dissatisfaction, and then
Somewhat admired.
So, she turned her dark eyes, softened her body, leaned against Gu Cheng, and looked at the princess provocatively.
Smart people all know that those who sit on the fence are the worst offenders. Anyway, there is no possibility of easing up with the princess. Since Gu Cheng needs it, what if she fights with this superior woman?
When had the princess ever experienced such a blatant challenge? Her eyes were full of evil, and she wished she could order Feng Heng to be beaten to death with a stick.
But she really didn't dare.
For the first time in my life, I felt an emotion called fear.
The official who had skin-to-skin contact with her and gave birth to children was as strange as...a real prince and grandson!
After entering the palace, the princess returned to the east courtyard, feeling quite lost. Then she found that many of the servants in the palace had been replaced, and basically all of her confidants were gone.
But something slipped through the net after all. An old woman held the letter in both hands: "Master Han asked me to give this letter to the empress!"
"Uncle's letter?" The princess raised her eyebrows, took the letter and read it carefully. She couldn't help but get furious: "You actually associate with people in the world and still practice martial arts? How unreasonable! How unreasonable!"
The old woman was so frightened that she trembled: "I have mercy on you, I have mercy on you, please don't let Your Highness know, otherwise I will definitely be kicked out of the house!"
"I'm back, and I see he's still..." The princess was about to show off her power, but she thought of the grievances in front of the palace, and swallowed the word "dare", "Tomorrow I will go to the palace and ask the queen to make the decision!"
On the other side, Gu Cheng placed Feng Heng in his courtyard, sat in the hall, and waved his hand: "Invite them in!"
The servant quickly led the two of them in. When they saw the radiant Feng Heng, his face was expressionless. It was obvious that they were not attracted by women, but after seeing each other, their expressions changed slightly.
Because they are Hong Qi and Ku Hui.
The first reactions in the minds of a deputy leader of the Beggar Clan and the head of the Shaolin Arhat Hall are surprisingly similar:
"Shaolin actually surrendered to King Jia?"
"The Beggar Gang actually surrendered to the imperial court?"
Gu Cheng admired their expressions, made a gesture of invitation, and was the first to say: "Young Master Liuyu has been executed!"
Hong Qi was shocked when he heard this and said happily: "Okay!"
He had no doubts. Firstly, it was Gu Cheng's identity, and he would never lie on this matter. The two had not seen each other for several hours, and Gu Cheng had an aura about him. It was the real battle between life and death when fighting with the enemy.
The ordeal of war.
At this moment, Hong Qi was truly convinced: "Your Highness has eliminated this great harm and avenged my disciples of the Beggar Clan. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness!"
In addition to Huang Shang, he also watched Gu Cheng grow up step by step. In less than half a year, he went from a royal child who had just gained inner strength and had no combat experience to a strong man who could defeat the Six Desires.
This kind of rise is more recognized by people in the martial arts world than a simple prince status.
When Ku Hui saw this, she was even more certain that the Beggar Gang, the largest gang in the world, had become the minions of the imperial court. Thinking that her identity was exposed in this way, her heart became cold, but she did not panic, and calmly waited for Gu Cheng's recruitment.
However, how could Gu Cheng follow the routine and get straight to the point: "Did Huo Gong Tutuo catch it?"
Ku Hui was so startled that she almost jumped up.
The family scandal must not be made public, and it is impossible for the Beggar Clan to know about the Huo Gong Toutuo incident that just happened, let alone Gu Cheng who is far away in Lin'an!
Could it be that Shaolin has already planted the imperial court’s informants?
Gu Cheng waved his hand and said: "Master, don't be surprised. The matter of Huo Gong Tutuo was obtained by intercepting the information about the Tianren Sect, Heng'er!"
Feng Heng originally didn't know why Gu Cheng wanted her to accompany him, but now he understood and said generously: "The Tianren Sect was established by the royal family of the Jin Kingdom. It was specially used to conquer the Jin Kingdom and unify the world. It paid huge sums of money to attract masters from all sides.
, train assassination secret agents, send spies to sneak into our Song Dynasty, make friends with the martial arts in the Central Plains openly, and secretly wait for opportunities to divide..."
In just a few words, the mysterious power and ambition of the Tiannin Sect were outlined, and Hong Qi and Ku Hui suddenly changed their expressions.
The former recalled that many branches of the Beggar Clan were exterminated inexplicably in recent years, and no matter how they were traced afterwards, they could not catch the real culprits, which was confusing;
The latter directly suspected that Huo Gong Tutuo had secretly surrendered to Tian Nin and committed such a heinous act. After he turned out to be a traitor, he disappeared without a trace, allowing the disciples sent by Shaolin to return in vain.
Tian Nin teaches this scapegoat, and he memorizes it firmly.
Ku Hui stood up, bowed, and was about to walk out. When Gu Cheng saw him, he said calmly: "If I were a master, I would never go back to Shaolin at this time!"
Ku Hui stood still and said respectfully: "Your Highness, please give me some advice!"
Gu Chengdao: "I know you are afraid that Shaolin's vitality will be severely damaged and the Tianren will take advantage of it, but has Master ever thought about whether Songshan Mountain is located in the Kingdom of Jin and can it withstand the Jinting army?"
Ku Hui's eyebrows trembled, but she finally said bitterly: "No!"
Gu Chengdao: "So since the master came to our country in the Southern Song Dynasty, it was God's blessing to Shaolin. You should establish a new line and pass on the spirit of Shaolin martial arts and Buddhism!"
Set up another door and wall to pass on the fire!
This was like a bolt of lightning, splitting open the fog in Ku Hui's heart. Wasn't this what he had been thinking these days?
But he was still a little hesitant to make an immediate decision, especially since this suggestion came from King Jia.
Ku Hui didn't want to completely become a vassal of the imperial court. Her expression was unpredictable. Feng Heng looked on and suddenly said: "Young lady has an idea. I wonder if you can tell her?"
Gu Cheng looked at her, a little surprised, and Ku Hui did not dare to underestimate this weak woman with no martial arts skills: "Female donor, please tell me!"
Feng Heng felt Gu Cheng's gaze, pursed his lips and said coquettishly: "Master, do you still remember Putian Shaolin?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall suddenly understood, and Ku Hui showed a smile for the first time: "The female benefactor is so smart and smart, and the old monk will remember her kindness, and she will indeed revitalize Southern Shaolin!"
Southern Shaolin was the result of the thirteen monks who saved Li Shimin from the late Sui Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty specially ordered Abbot Tanzong of Northern Shaolin to build a Shaolin Temple in the south, which was called South Shaolin Temple. However, it was later destroyed during the Anshi Rebellion and was not rebuilt until the Ming Dynasty.
He also appeared in the Book of Swords and Enmities.
Because it was so long ago, no one thought of it until Feng Heng woke up the dreamer.
Ku Hui revitalized the Southern Shaolin. Firstly, it did not mean to judge the gate, but it could preserve its reputation. The second one also opened up branches and leaves for Shaolin, leaving a way out. The third one was recognized by the previous dynasty and would not completely become the imperial court.
Vassal, it couldn't be more perfect.
Of course, it is inevitable to rely on the power of the imperial court. After all, rebuilding temples, repairing Buddha statues, recruiting disciples, and even subsequent martial arts training all require a lot of money.
But since the Beggar Gang has become so close to the imperial court, and Gu Cheng has the potential to be a powerful leader, how can he, the Southern Shaolin, be ignorant of what is good and bad?
This matter was of great importance. After discussing the preliminary details, Hong Qi and Ku Hui withdrew.
Gu Cheng took Feng Heng back to the room and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be my 'good wife'. One sentence saved me a lot of effort!"
Starting tonight, part of the Shaolin power of the Beggar Clan will be used by him, and the prototype of Jianghu power has finally been established.
This speed is far faster than Gu Cheng expected!
Feng Heng's eyes flashed, and there was a wonder in his eyes that seemed to be drunk but not drunk: "Your Highness, I will help you do three things, and you will let me leave when you are done. How about that?"
Gu Cheng stretched out his hand, caressed her smooth and delicate face, and said with a chuckle: "Have you ever seen a little rabbit that got into a tiger's mouth and could still escape safely?"
Feng Heng's pretty face glowed with embarrassment and he was about to stand up when he was picked up by Gu Cheng. He screamed and threw him onto the bed.
Feng Heng was shocked: "You, the majestic prince, the future Ninth Five-Year Plan, do you want to use force?"
"That's not... possible!" Gu Cheng gasped, admiring Feng Heng's rare appearance of a little rabbit, and said with a smile: "It's a full show, and we will naturally sleep in the same bed tonight. Don't worry, we just sleep in
On a bed!”
After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands. Not long after, the maid came in and helped the two of them wash up. An old maid even took a piece of white silk and put it on the bed.
Feng Heng was stunned. What was going on with this preparation? Why was this servant so skilled?
Gu Cheng was actually startled. He didn't order this. He thought he was doing what he wanted. He suppressed his laughter and went to bed: "Go to sleep!"
