Shaolin Temple has a branch in Hong Kong, and recently established the Hong Kong Shaolin Martial Arts Exchange Center, which recruits more than 3,000 apprentices every year, arranges monks and coaches to teach martial arts, and the momentum is quite grand.
However, Master Yongxin, the abbot of Shaolin, did not live in the branch or the exchange center, but in the most luxurious hotel in Hong Kong, the Peninsula Hotel.
Opposite the Peninsula Hotel is the Victoria Harbour. The scenery is beautiful, and the middle and high-rise buildings can have a panoramic view of the sea. Even Queen Elizabeth II has lived here.
Abbot Yongxin and many main figures in the temple came to Hong Kong this time, and gathered with many rich people, big families, and celebrities to increase the atmosphere. Naturally, it was to prepare for the listing. We must not lose face. In order to enhance the modern atmosphere and reflect Shaolin Temple With the demeanor of keeping pace with the times, he bought more than a dozen large rooms on the upper floors of the Peninsula Hotel in one go.
"Has the abbot woke up?" At this moment, an old monk with a beard and brows slightly gray and wearing a gray-yellow robe walked in the empty corridor of the hotel, and then stopped at the door of a room.
Standing at the door of the room were two young monks, wearing leggings and wearing yellow jackets, their muscles and bones were obviously protruding, their temples were slightly raised, their eyes were piercing, and they looked strong and sturdy. It was obvious that they had practiced martial arts well, but this The two monks, their mouths were shiny, and their clothes smelled of alcohol, they were obviously wine and meat monks.
Seeing this old monk, the two young monks quickly stood up straight, "Master Dejian, the abbot attended the reception of Lin's Jewelry Group last night and didn't sleep all night. In the morning, he called Beijing again to deal with some matters. I'm so busy, I just had lunch and I'm already asleep."
"Well, since that's the case, I won't bother you. Let's wait for the abbot to wake up." The old monk Dejian sighed slightly, turned around and walked to the stairs step by step.
"Master Uncle Dejian." At the door, another middle-aged monk in a yellow coat stopped Dejian.
"Xing Shen. You also came to look for the abbot? The abbot didn't sleep last night, and he didn't sleep until noon today. He doesn't know martial arts and is weak. You'd better not disturb him."
"No! I just got the news! Just this morning, Guochao, Guochao and the head of the Neijia Boxing Gym in Laoshan, Shandong competed in martial arts, and was, was..." The middle-aged monk's face was twisted into a ball, and his nostrils uttered. There was a roaring sound, and the fists of both hands were clenched tightly, making a gurgling sound.
"What? How is the Guochao?" the old monk Dejian asked quickly.
"The Ministry of State Security informed me just now that the Guochao had hit a killer move in a martial arts competition in the morning, and his neck bone was broken, and his Adam's apple was kicked. He is already, already dead." As he spoke, the middle-aged monk burst into tears, as if he was dead. Same as son.
"What, how is it possible! Impossible, Guochao's martial arts are outstanding, almost one of the best. How could he be beaten to death, could it be, could it be that a gun was used?" Dejian was also surprised. With his cultivation as an old monk, he has practiced Zen for many years , the heart can't calm down.
"No gun was used. Guochao belonged to the national security department, and the other party also belonged to the government department. The news I just received was purely a martial arts competition." Xing Shen took a deep breath and calmed down. "Guochao is my successor, and he was beaten to death by that person. I must seek revenge from him."
"Wait, discuss this matter with the abbot first!" Dejian shouted: "Xing Shen, you are over fifty now, and your physical strength is no longer at the peak. The martial arts of this kid from Guochao are already on par with yours. Since he is not someone else What advantage can you gain by going to a revenge contest against your opponent? You will still be beaten to death! Besides, it is an internal matter of the government. Can you intervene?"
Xing was deeply heartbroken: "Then forget it? You know how much effort I spent on Guochao. My heart hurts more than my son's death now."
"It's Yonghe and Yongbao... Guochao... hey!!! Let's talk to the abbot first, and see how the abbot arranges it." De Jian said.
The two monks at the door saw Dejian and Xingshen came over, but they didn't stop him, but they were a little afraid of Xingshen. Immediately got out of the way.
Xingshen has very thick eyebrows, a long and narrow face, eyes as big as a bull's eye, and a wide mouth. He looks fierce and like an Asura.
As soon as they entered the room, they turned a few doors and saw a chubby monk who looked like Maitreya Buddha lying on a big soft bed, who was the abbot of Shaolin.
"Abbot, abbot." Xingshen shouted a few times, and the abbot finally woke up, rubbing his loose eyes.
"You?" The abbot sat up, "The matter of Yongbao and Yonghe has been dealt with. I called an acquaintance yesterday and mentioned the interrogation by the national security department. It should be more relaxed. Don't intercede, the two of them committed a crime." Things, at least ten or eight years. I can't do anything about this."
"No, it was Guochao. He rushed to Hong Kong this morning to compete with that Wang Chao. In the end, he was beaten to death."
"What?" The abbot was taken aback, almost jumped up, and then frowned, "Wait a minute." While speaking, he grabbed the phone and dialed a few numbers. He didn't know who he was talking to, " Did Guochao die this morning, what happened?"
The voice as thin as a mosquito came from the phone, and the more the abbot listened, the more solemn his face became.
Click, he hung up the phone: "It's not easy to deal with the aftermath, you can transfer Yonglong and Yonghu back from the Shaolin Temple in the United States and Germany, and also transfer back to the branch in Russia. This matter involves too much Now, I have to think about it. In addition, Uncle Xingshen, don’t get excited, don’t panic, and don’t go to Laoshan, Shandong to seek revenge. By the way, I remember that Wang Chao killed Zhang Wei. I’m a brother, and I’m friends with a Taoist priest Xu from Wudang, you go find them. Master Dejian, you have some friendship with Xu Zhen, go tell me, Wang Chao killed his apprentice, there must be some connection. In addition, Xu Zhen has connections with the Japanese martial arts circle. Wang Chao beat Ye Xuan to death in Shandong. This is also a grudge. Let’s take a look first. We don’t get involved in politics in Shaolin. It’s best to look at it from the perspective of martial arts competitions. .”
There are seventy generations in Shaolin: Blessed and wise, Zhi Zijue, you can understand the original circle. Zhou Hongpu Guangzong, Daoqingtong Xuanzu. Pure and true as the sea, Zhan Ji Chun Zhen Su. Virtue is eternal, and the essence is always strong. The heart is bright and deep, and the nature is bright and mirrors Chongzuo. Loyalty, kindness, and Xixiang are sincere to the original Jidu. Xue Ting is the mentor, leading you to Guixuan Road.
This Dejian is the boxing master of South Shaolin, but he is old. Under the communication of Yongxin, the North and South Shaolin have cooperated as one to jointly develop the brand and invigorate the economy. But in terms of seniority, Dejian is two generations ahead of Yongxin. But seniority is useless, everything should be listened to by the abbot.
Xingshen is Taishi Mountain, the instructor who specializes in training monks, is very strong in martial arts, and is also Duan Guochao's master, but now he is in his fifties, close to sixty, and his boxing skills are no longer at the peak of his heyday, so Jiande It was very accurate, since Duan Guochao was beaten to death, it would certainly not be beneficial for him to go as a master.
Shaolin's martial arts elites are all abroad. The Yonglong and Yonghu mentioned by Yongxin just now, one is the master of the German Shaolin Temple, the other is the master of the American Shaolin Temple, and the other is the host of the Russian Shaolin Temple.
The situation in foreign countries is no different from that in China. If you want to open a martial arts gym abroad, you will inevitably have frequent martial arts fights and life-and-death fights, which is simply commonplace.
When Bruce Lee was developing in the United States, he fought almost every day, with martial artists, boxers, judo players, mafia masters, and so on. So Shaolin's elite forces are all abroad.
There are some people in China who can earn a living as long as they talk about it, but when they go abroad, there is no other way except to prove their strength and strength by fighting.
Yonghe and Yongbao were also born as underground boxing champions in the United States, and became monks halfway through.
"Uncle Xingshen, please remember, don't use some of your connections to stir up troubles. Our Shaolin only develops economy and martial arts, and don't touch other things! Don't even think about it! In addition, never He and Yongbao, I have already expelled them from Shaolin, that is to say, expelled them from the sect. Regarding the matter of Duan Guochao, I will make a statement that the matter of lay people has nothing to do with us, and we can deal with it as the higher authorities handle it. .The monks only ask about ordinary matters, so don't make trouble." Although Xingshen is a master uncle, the abbot urged and urged, and his tone was very strict.
"En." Dejian and Xingshen both nodded, this abbot has no martial arts, but everyone in Shaolin, everyone must look at his face, the authority is more important than the emperor. Because without him, the monks in the upper and lower levels would have a big problem with whether they can eat or not.
Although Xingshen has high martial arts skills, he has to go through the abbot for what he eats, what he wears, his monthly salary, bonuses, and benefits.
No matter how good boxing skills are, they can't be eaten as food.
Not to mention that Shaolin had its own plans after receiving the news that Duan Guochao was beaten to death. Wang Chao and Lin Yanan returned to the army. Early the next morning, comrades from the Central Investigation Team had already arrived at Commissar Yang's office.
"Colonel Lin Yanan, Lieutenant Colonel Wang Chao. Dong Ling, Chen Ke, and Duan Guochao fought with weapons privately and seriously violated organizational discipline. They must all be taken away. They must be taken away in Beijing and dealt with seriously."
