Traditional rivers and lakes belt crossing

Tianjie Temple is located outside the Jubao Gate of Nanjing City. It is one of the three major temples in the capital along with Linggu Temple and Dabaoen Temple. The emperor Zhu Yuanzhang had a special liking for this temple. Gao Qi, one of the four masters of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, once wrote "Climbing the Temple of Heaven" to remember it: "The rain passes over the head of the emperor's city, and the fragrance condenses into the seclusion of the Buddha's realm. The spring breastbirds in the orchard, and the dancing doves in the flower hall. All the shoes are gathered with the bells, and the Qianqiu enters the stream. Zen Residents travel, do not feel submerged for a long time."

Now there is a young monk sitting there on the steps of the entrance, as if he had entered into meditation. Some people around him pointed out that he had been sitting here for three days and three nights, and he hadn’t even entered the temple. Someone once asked why he didn’t enter the temple. He replied, "This temple was not made by me, so you are not allowed to enter it." Someone asked you why you are sitting here, and he replied, "You must wait for someone." It's strange, just think that there is a unique scenery here.

Tianjie Temple is located on the main road outside the south city, and there are a lot of people coming and going, so the monk's actions spread quickly.

That day, the scorching sun was in the sky, but the passers-by here suddenly felt a bit of coolness. Looking at the place where the coolness came from, they saw a young man walking out of the dense forest. He was dressed in tatters, but his body was straight and straight. The sharp eyes like wild wolves are full of cold light, and anyone who looks at them will shudder.

I saw him walking slowly to the front of the Tianjie Temple, looking at the young monk who was meditating, the people around him were afraid and avoided them, and he said in a cold tone: "Little master, do you have any vegetarian food?" Ah." He spoke intermittently, as if he was not fluent.

The people around were shocked when they heard it. They didn't expect this person to be a beggar. You said that you are a beggar but you don't have the consciousness of a beggar. It looks a bit scary, how can anyone help him.

The young monk finally opened his eyes after hearing this, and everyone around him was excited, wondering if he was the one the young monk was waiting for?The young monk said slowly: "I haven't eaten for a few days, you can go to the temple and ask." After speaking, he closed his eyes again.

The beggar was not curious after hearing this, and did not enter the Tianjie Temple, but continued to walk slowly into the city.

At this time, there was a sound of hoofbeats, and three fast horses came running from a distance, two in front and one behind, forming an upside-down character shape. The people on the horses were all wearing the military uniforms of the Ming Dynasty. It looked like they had just returned from the north, and they didn't know if there was any major event. They didn't even stop their horses, and rushed all the way into the city gate.

The beggar who had just walked away was walking in the middle of the road. He ignored the screams of the people around him to avoid him. Seeing that the horse was about to mount the beggar, the people around him were all blindfolded in fright.

Hearing a neighing horse, a burst of dust started up on the road. After the dust was blown away, everyone showed surprised expressions. It turned out that the dead ropes of the two horses in front were pulled by two people respectively, and immediately The rider was thrown off the horse due to the inertia of the sudden stop, and was lying on the ground unable to get up for a while.But the horse behind stopped in time, and the rider on the horse was looking at the two people holding the horse coldly.

It turned out that the beggar and the young monk who had been meditating were the ones holding the horse. The crowd didn't see when he came running over, but they only heard him say: "Almsgiver, don't let the horse go in a busy place."

The rider on the horse stared at the young monk for a long time, and finally said coldly: "You must be Wu Hui, the most gifted monk in Shaolin Temple for nearly a hundred years."

After hearing this, Wu Hui didn't expect him to recognize her, because he stayed in Shaolin Temple since he was a child and never went down the mountain. This is the first time he came to the capital. He asked, "Does the donor know the little monk?"

The rider replied: "I have heard your name a long time ago, but you don't know who I am yet."

After hearing this, Wu Hui asked, "May I ask the benefactor's name."

The rider replied arrogantly: "I am Chang Sen, the vanguard officer under Xu Da, the great general who conquered the captives. Do you still dare to stop me after hearing this?"

Wu Hui didn't react when he heard it. It was the first time he heard this name, and he didn't think it was so famous, but the people around him were all dumbfounded when they heard it. Chang Sen's name can be said to be thunderous recently. The general under Da's seat is the youngest son of Chang Yuchun, king of Kaiping. Since Chang Yuchun's death, his son has received a lot of attention from the court in the past few years. Chang Sen also followed Xu Da on many expeditions , And also made great military exploits.

But Wu Hui had never been to the Shaolin Temple, so he didn't know about all this, and he didn't feel afraid, he still said calmly: "Since the general is so famous, shouldn't he be more sympathetic to the people, it's always wrong to run wild."

After hearing this, Chang Sen didn't refute or care about it, and said: "I didn't expect Shaolin Temple to send someone this time. It's rare, rare, you don't know who he is, so let me introduce you." He pointed at the beggar, and stopped the two followers who just got up and wanted to trouble the beggar.

The beggar looked at Chang Sen coldly, and Chang Sen was not afraid, and said slowly: "This is the most outstanding disciple of the Beggar Sect recently. No one in the world knows his name, only one nickname is 'Prairie Grassland. 'Wolf on earth', do you think I'm right?" he finally asked the beggar.

The beggar ignored him, let go of the rein and walked away slowly.When Chang Sen saw it, he said sarcastically: "Wild wolves are wild wolves, and they don't know the rules at all." It turned out that the beggar was originally Han, but because of the war, his parents died, and he was left alone in the rivers and lakes, and finally came to the north. He grew up in the wolf den, and when the spies of the beggar gang found him, he could not speak much. He saw that he had a strange life experience, and he was mixed with wolves every day. The beggar gang spies took him back to the Central Plains, and he became the leader of the younger generation of the beggar gang after intensive training.

Looking at the figure of the beggar going away, Wu Hui said to Chang Sen: "Almsgiver, listen to the little monk's persuasion, keep a line of life, so that we can meet each other in the future." The beggar went to the capital.

Chang Sen looked at the figures of the two people going away, and laughed hehe, thinking that this trip back to the capital might be a worthwhile trip, as far as he knows, all the famous young talents in the world have come to the capital recently, all for the sake of It was the same big event, but after he became a famous family, he couldn't feel afraid anymore. He secretly made up his mind to defeat them.
