Chapter 35 The Governor of Chu worships the mountain [3
Chu Yi bowed his hands to Chongxu and said: "Chu Yi is so polite! I didn't expect to see Taoist Master's beauty here! Chu has admired the Taoist Priest's name for a long time, and when he saw him today, he realized that the name is not as good as meeting him. No wonder even His Majesty was so impressed by him.
Thank you very much!”
Taoist Chongxu can be regarded as at least half a member of the court. Although he does not enter the court, he rarely has to deal with the ministers and admirals stationed in Wudang by the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, he knows that those words can be believed and those that cannot be believed.
The royal family of the Ming Dynasty has always respected Wudang Mountain, and the Wudang Sect has naturally continued to have continuous blessings. However, Taoist Chongxu knows very well that this is just because of the shadow of his predecessors. As for what Chu Yi said, today's people praise him highly. Listen to it.
That's all, it would be weird if you could really believe it.
Who doesn't know that today's emperor treats the chamberlains of the East Palace extremely favorably? It can be said that Liu Jin's name is known to everyone in the world.
Of course, Liu Jin does not have a good reputation in the world. People in these circles don't care how Liu Jin can dominate the court. Naturally, they have to criticize Liu Jin verbally and writtenly. His reputation is very bad in the world.
As for Chu Yi, although he is in charge of Dongchang, and Dongchang has been low-key in recent years, the limelight has been stolen by Jin Yiwei, his reputation is much smaller, so Chu Yi is okay, not many people even know his name in the world.
head.
Taoist Chongxu knew very well that if Chu Yi was able to take charge of Dongguang, he must be a close servant of the emperor. Other sects could ignore the majesty of the court and even provoke the government, but Wudang, which had a large family and great business, could not.
This is also the fundamental reason why Taoist Chongxu had a correct attitude after recognizing Chu Yi. Of course, part of it is also related to Taoist Chongxu's humility and open-mindedness.
Taoist Chongxu calmed down, stroked his beard, and said with a fairy-like air and a free and easy attitude: "The governor is ridiculously praising you. I am just a Taoist from the mountains. How can I be worthy of the emperor's praise?"
"Our family is a little curious. Why does the Taoist priest appear here in Songshan Mountain when he is not practicing in Wudang Mountain?"
Although Chu Yi knew that Taoist Chongxu had a secret relationship with Shaolin Abbot Fang Zheng, he was also curious as to why Taoist Chongxu came to Shaolin. Could there be something big happening in the world?
Taoist Master Chongxu bowed his head and said, "I am just here to discuss the Tao with Master Fangzheng!"
After taking a deep look at Taoist Chongxu, Chu Yi nodded slightly. Since Taoist Chongxu was unwilling to talk, Chu Yi would naturally not be able to continue asking.
Anyway, if something big happens in Jianghu, it won't escape Dongchang's supervision. I believe news will come soon.
The two met in Daozuo, but their fight left a deep impression on both parties. Seeing Taoist Chongxu disappear into the mountains and forests, Cao Shaoqin said sharply: "This Wudang headmaster is really not bad at cultivation.
.”
Chu Yidao said: "The Wudang sect originated from Zhenren Sanfeng. It can be said that it has a profound foundation. It is not unusual to have a figure like Taoist Chongxu."
As he spoke, Chu Yi looked towards the majestic Songshan Mountain and saw that the mountain towered into the clouds, and the melodious bells could be faintly heard among the misty clouds.
"A thousand-year-old temple, the ancestral court of Zen"
Noticing Chu Yi's gaze, the stall owner Qi Hu couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Master, you don't want to go to Shaolin!"
Chu Yi tilted his head slightly and said, "Oh, is Qi Baotou afraid that Shaolin will be detrimental to my governor?"
Qi Hu left a lot of notoriety in the world, and later joined the Dongchang. It can be said that he has a heartfelt rejection of Shaolin Temple, which is known as the leader of the righteous way. His reaction just now was just an instinct.
After being slightly startled, Qi Hu realized that if a big devil or the like went to Shaolin, he might not have a chance to come down the mountain, but what was the identity of his group?
To put it simply, Admiral Chu Yi was the governor of Dongchang in the Ming Dynasty. To put it more seriously, this time Chu Yi inspected the place in the name of the emperor, and the place he passed almost represented the emperor. If Chu Yi showed up
Given their identities, even if they lend ten thousand courages to the Shaolin Temple, they would not dare to do anything to them.
Not sure what he was thinking of, Chu Yi said to Chu Fang beside him: "Xiao Fangzi, take this governor's post with you, go to Shaolin, and say that I want to pay homage to the mountain!"
Chu Fang was slightly stunned, but he always obeyed Chu Yi's orders. He took out the post, saluted Chu Yi, and swayed like a ghost towards the thousand-year-old temple on Shaoshi Mountain, which was hidden among the mountains and forests.
In the Shaolin Temple, Master Abbot Fang Zheng was frowning at the moment. Not long ago, his friend Taoist Chongxu came to tell him a piece of news.
Liu Zhengfeng of the Hengshan Sect wanted to hold a Golden Basin Washing Ceremony and withdraw from the world. That would be all. According to Wudang's unintentional information, Liu Zhengfeng had a close relationship with Qu Yang, the elder of the Sun Moon Sect. Zuo Lengchan of the Songshan Sect had already
After learning of this, I wanted to take the opportunity to target the Hengshan Sect.
Over the years, Shaolin and Wudang have silently controlled the situation in the world, and they have put in a lot of effort. In the past, the Wuyue Sword Sect fought with the Sun and Moon Sect, and both sides suffered losses. In the world, no one has the power to compete with Shaolin and Wudang.
Now Zuo Lengchan wants to unite the Five Mountains and restore the former glory of the Five Mountains. This can be said to be an eventful autumn.
Chanting the Buddha's name for a long time, Fang Zheng silently recited Buddhist scriptures to calm down the distracting thoughts in his heart.
A burst of noise came, and Fang Zheng, who had an unfathomable cultivation level, was shocked. After so many years, someone actually dared to use force in the Shaolin Temple.
When Fang Zheng walked out of the Zen room and walked to the outer hall, he saw a ghost-like figure on the martial arts field, appearing to be easily attacked by several Luohan Hall disciples.
Seeing the strange movement displayed by that figure, Fang Zheng was moved in his heart and shouted the Buddha's name: "Namo Amitabha, donor, please stop!"
The Luohan Hall disciples stopped suddenly, and Chu Fang stood still, looking at Fang Zheng from a distance.
Chu Fang looked at Fang Zheng and said to Fang Zheng amidst the angry eyes of the monks: "Are you the abbot of Shaolin, the great monk Fang Zheng?"
Fang Zheng clasped his hands together and said with a slight smile: "It's just a poor monk. I wonder if the donor can give me some advice when he comes to my Shaolin!"
Chu Fang tossed the greeting card casually and said: "This is my family's greeting card. Master will know it after reading it."
Fang Zheng practiced the Shaolin Yi Jin Jing intensively. It can be said that his cultivation is profound and unpredictable. He reached out and held the greeting card in his hand with one finger. This was the unique Shaolin skill of pinching flowers with his fingers.
Fang Zheng couldn't help but be shocked as he glanced at the content on the invitation. Even Fang Zheng, who had profound Buddhist knowledge, couldn't help but his expression changed drastically.
Under the greeting card, there were a few big characters "Dongchang Governor Chu Yi", which touched Fang Zheng's immovable Buddha heart.
Taking a deep breath, Fang Zheng turned to Chu Fang with his hands clasped together and said, "I would like to ask your envoy to report back to the Imperial Envoy. The doors of our Shaolin Temple will be opened wide to welcome the Imperial Envoy!"
The monks all stared at their abbot with their mouths open, feeling as if their heads were like paste. What kind of imperial envoy asked them to open the doors of the Shaolin Temple to welcome them? Could it be...
A monk couldn't help but look surprised when he thought of a possibility. You must know that during the Ming Dynasty, the royal family worshiped Taoism. Although it was said that it did not suppress the Buddha, Shaolin, as the ancestral court of Zen, lost a lot of honors and favors.
At least the emperors of the Ming Dynasty seemed to pay more attention to Wudang, and even personally photographed the eunuch admiral Wudang Mountain. However, their Shaolin Temple had not even received an imperial envoy for many years.
Could it be that this time Shaolin finally had its fortunes turn around, and the clouds cleared and the moon shone brightly, and today we finally thought of Buddhism and the Shaolin Temple?
For a while, these Buddhist monks couldn't help but think about it, and their thoughts were swayed.
Chu Fang saw the reaction of these monks in his eyes, sneered in his heart, glanced at the crowd with disdain and said: "In that case, we will go back and report to my lord."
In the blink of an eye, Chu Fang disappeared into Shaolin. Fang Zheng glanced at the group of monks below, and his expression suddenly turned ugly.
"Namo Amitabha!"
The sound of a Buddha's name contains pure Buddhist inner strength. To these monks whose Buddhist hearts were shaken, it was like an Arhat shouting angrily. They woke up one by one, saw the gloomy look on their abbot's face, and thought of their own previously shaken Buddhist hearts.
Each of them clasped their hands together, with a look of shame on their face, and recited Namo Amitabha.
