Chapter 94 Pei Xuan, Yang Lin, and Zhu Fu come to visit their elder brother (45)

Erlong Mountain, Baozhu Temple.

The mountain gate was reopened.

Lu Zhishen was the abbot. All the monks who had lived on the mountain shaved their heads again, prepared to eat vegetarian food, chant Buddhist scriptures, and comprehend the method of conceiving a spirit.

But they didn't know that the precious pearl in the temple had already been taken away by Cao Jie.

Moreover, would Lu Zhishen let them eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures, not engage in production, and support them for nothing? Obviously, it is impossible.

"Humph!"

"what!"

In the square in front of the temple, about two hundred bald men were doing boxing and standing in the bright sun. The hot sunlight fell on their white foreheads, reflecting a dazzling light.

Master Lu loves to drink. When he is drunk, he will cause trouble. Without alcohol, he will feel weak all over. This is indeed his weakness.

But he also has many strengths, for example, he served as a deputy commander under the old Lord Zhong and was able to train soldiers in a professional manner.

I get up at four o'clock every morning, stand in a posture for an hour, then have breakfast, practice boxing, have lunch, practice weapon kung fu in the afternoon, take a walk after dinner, then stand in a posture again, and finally go to bed.

How sufficient this day is.

"Monk, do you know what a monk is?"

"You are the monks who practice martial arts. Train with me. If anyone slacks off, you will have to clean the toilet for me... If I were to teach you a lesson myself, you would be in big trouble."

People are actually different.

When Lu Zhishen trained his soldiers, he either beat them or scolded them, and even drilled them to death, but everyone obeyed him.

He never treated others harshly in terms of food, and he ate and lived with the monks. At most, he just gave them an extra jar of wine every day.

With such powerful kung fu, how could the Vajra Master from the West Heaven come down to earth and hang out with them?!
"Amitabha!"

It was lunchtime and the monks began to eat meat and rice.

Ever since Buddhism was introduced to China, people in temples have been eating meat for hundreds and thousands of years.

But avoid meat and spicy food.

The term "hu and xin" refers to things with strong flavors such as onions and garlic, not specifically meat. However, in later generations, people often use hu and xin instead of meat.

Buddhism originally only prohibited killing and eating pungent foods, but not meat. Later, out of compassion, it was gradually banned.

But if there are martial monks in the temple, the disciples will do many things to strengthen their bodies. If there is less meat and no other nutritional supplements, it is inevitable that the body will be damaged. Therefore, the "Precepts" says that martial monks should follow the original intention and only abstain from meat and spicy food, but not kill.

In other words, if you want to eat meat, you can just ask lay disciples or farmers in the mountains to slaughter it?

The monks ate with relish, and Shi Qian went up the mountain.

After explaining the harsh criticism Wu Song had received in Qingzhou Prefecture and the task his brother had given him, Lu Zhishen roared:
"A poor military household, a poor official serving as the military commander, dares to call himself the guardian of the Three Mountains. What a dog..."

"Bring me my Zen staff. I killed Zhen Guanxi with three punches in Weicheng. Let's see how many punches of my Zen staff this Zhen Sanshan can take..."

"Bullying my brother Wu Song is bullying the Sa family..."

"Zhang San, Li Si... gather the troops and let's destroy Qingzhou Prefecture..."

"My brother Zhishen! Don't be anxious, don't be anxious..." Shi Qian grabbed Lu Zhishen and his thin body moved forward with him.

"My brother has given me instructions... this and that..."

"Oh! Okay, okay, I got it."

To teach Huang Xin a lesson, Wu Song and Hua Rong of Qingfeng Village could not do it, and Li Zhong and Zhou Tong of Taohua Mountain were not capable of doing it either, so Lu Zhishen was the only one who could do it. However, this Vajra Master was too violent, and it was unknown whether Huang Xin could withstand the thick and big Zen staff.

On this day, when Cao Jie was thinking about how to rebuild Qingfeng Mountain, a letter came from Wu Xuejiu of Liangshan.

"Okay!"

"I was worried about not having a hero to rebuild Qingfeng Mountain, and the military advisor solved this problem for us."

Ruan Xiaoqi asked excitedly, "But are there any new brothers who have become bandits in the mountains?"

"That's right. Brother Zhu Gui brought his brother, 'Smiling Tiger' Zhu Fu, to the mountain. Deng Fei also contacted his good friend 'Golden Leopard' Yang Lin, who saved 'Iron-Faced Man' Pei Xuan on the way. Now they are on the way and will arrive tomorrow. Two brothers, 'Saint Hand Scholar' Xiao Rang and 'Jade Arm Craftsman' Jin Dajian, have also come to the mountain..."

"Great! With these heroes coming to join us, my brother won't have to worry anymore."

…………

"elder brother!"

"elder brother!"

"elder brother!"

The three people who came bowed their heads and kowtowed.

There is a poem that says: When he asks questions, he is smart and clever, and when he writes, gods and ghosts cry. He is calm and selfless, and Pei Xuan has an iron face.

This Pei Xuan did not look like a man of the world. He was plump and white-fleshed, and well-proportioned, like a scholar.

And Yang Lin, wearing a white Fanyang hat, like a silver plate with a red tassel; a black round collar battle suit, like jade wrapped in brocade. He has a silk belt wrapped around his shoulders and knee pads lined with hemp shoes. A shark sheath is inserted diagonally into his waist knife, and a pen barrel gun is wrapped with silver wire. From a distance, you can see a poisonous dragon leaving a cave, and from close up, you can see a flying tiger descending from the clouds.

This is a hero whose fighting power is not inferior to that of "Fire-eyed Suanni".

Zhu Fu, on the other hand, appears to be very friendly, with a smile in his eyes, making him approachable.

"Brother Pei Xuan, brother Zhu Fu, brother Yang Lin..."

Cao Jie helped them up one by one according to their age, and said with a smile: "I was just worrying about the Qingfeng Mountain, and then you three brothers came. You are really a timely rain for me! Three brothers, I wonder if you are willing to stay in Qingfeng Mountain for a while?"

Pei Xuan clasped his fists and said, "Brother, I was framed by corrupt officials in Jingzhao Prefecture and exiled to Shamen Island. Fortunately, Brother Yang Lin saved me and we went to Liangshan together. Wu Xuejiu has already told me that I will leave it to you to arrange when I get here."

"it is good!"

"Brother Deng Fei recommended me to come and meet you, brother. I will naturally follow your lead." Yang Lin bowed again.

Smiling Tiger's smile was the most genuine: "I, Zhu Fu, don't have any other abilities, but I am best at welcoming and seeing off guests. So, like my brother Zhu Gui, I will open a restaurant to gather information for him and serve as a place for my brothers to stay."

"Okay! Brothers Pei Xuan and Yang Lin will rebuild Qingfeng Mountain, and brother Zhu Fu will open a restaurant outside Qingfeng Village. How do you think?"

"Very good!"

Cao Jie pointed at the steep Qingfeng Mountain and said, "We must occupy Qingfeng Mountain immediately to prevent it from being burned down by the soldiers. Then I will appoint Brother Pei Xuan as the leader of the village and Brother Yang Lin as the second leader..."

"elder brother."

Pei Xuan clasped his fists and said, "I am too weak to take on such a big responsibility. Brother Yang Lin should be the leader of the village, and I will assist him."

"Alas!" Yang Lin immediately shook his head and said, "Brother Pei Xuan is not only proficient in writing, but also good at using two swords. He is both wise and brave. I can only use a pen and a gun. I am a rude person. The task of rebuilding Qingfeng Mountain still needs Brother Pei Xuan to take on!"

Cao Jie pondered for a moment and said sincerely: "Brother Pei Xuan, please don't refuse. You are much older, calm, and upright. With the help of your brothers, Qingfeng Mountain will surely prosper. I will leave the important matters to you brothers."

"Brother, don't worry. The scholar military advisor has sent 300 people to come at night to rebuild Qingfeng Mountain and join forces with Erlong Mountain and Taohua Mountain to fight against the government. It's just around the corner..."
