Chapter 110 Shaolin
Zhu Shou looked at the Shaolin Temple in front of him. It was different from the Shaolin Temple in his memory. The Shaolin Temple in front of him was even more glorious. Among the red walls, you could see many golden temples. They were overflowing with light and looked very solemn. There were faint sounds of Buddha and sandalwood. The scent of incense fills the sky.

Fang Sheng led the monks of Shaolin Temple to welcome King Ming. However, the faces of the monks were not good-looking. After all, being surrounded by the imperial army at the gate was a very bad thing.

"Welcome King Ming." All the monks saluted.

"No courtesy." Zhu Shou walked down from the Luan Jia and looked at the ancient temple in front of him. His eyes fell down the mountain. He passed Cao Zhengchun and said, "All the farmland at the foot of the mountain belongs to the Shaolin Temple?"

Fang Zheng and Fang Sheng looked at each other immediately after hearing this, with a hint of surprise on their faces. They did not expect that Prince Ming would pay attention to this matter.That Fang Zheng quickly explained: "Your Majesty, these are the works of good men and women who worship the Buddha."

"Buddha? Can Buddha eat these mortal grains?" Zhu Shou sneered: "It's just an excuse to worship Buddha. It's just three thousand monks!"

Zhu Shou did not know whether there were three thousand monks in Shaolin Temple, but he believed that even if there were not, it would not be much different.

Monk Fang Zheng's face became even worse. Although he knew that King Ming's visit was not good before he came, he did not expect that Zhu Shou gave him a slap on the wrist as soon as he came up, targeting areas that he usually did not pay attention to.

Land!

Does Shaolin Temple have land?There must be some. Ming kings in the past dynasties will reward land to support Buddhism, but Shaolin Temple has a lot of land. After all, there are many lay disciples of martial arts sects like Shaolin Temple. They have been protected by Shaolin, and they are naturally paid. Money or land are both ways of expression.

And where did the worshiped money go in the end?Excluding daily expenses, purchasing medicinal materials, etc., half of it falls on land, so the Shaolin Temple has more and more land.

"Your Majesty, this is a gift from good men and women. I, Shaolin, have never thought about buying land or anything like that. After all, these are all external things, and monks like me will not take a fancy to these." Monk Fang Sheng explained quickly.

"Master Fang Sheng! I listened to you. It was you who escorted the secret book to Beijing in person. It's just that I was very busy at that time and didn't have time to see you. I have also heard of you. People in the world call you a kind person, so I guess you won't let it. Let the people at the foot of the mountain suffer!”

Fang Sheng suddenly had a sad look on his face after hearing this. He seemed to have heard that King Ming wanted Shaolin to give up these properties. Even if he agreed to this matter, would the Shaolin Temple agree?
"Your Majesty, it seems inappropriate for the imperial court to seize private property by force like this!" Master Fang Shi, the head of Luohan Hall, finally couldn't bear it anymore and retorted loudly.He has a fiery personality and says whatever comes to his mind.

"Master is joking. The imperial court will not forcibly seize other people's property, but I am planning to build a Shaolin martial arts academy in Songshan Mountain to train military generals. Shaolin Temple must show some respect for the martial arts academy! After all, this is also what makes Shaolin famous. , what do you think about passing on to future generations, Master Fang Zheng?" Zhu Shou looked at Master Fang Zheng who was silent next to him and said.

"What the king said is true. There will be old monks who will arrange for people to donate the land. I believe the Buddha will also agree with our decision." Master Fang Zheng said quickly.At this time, he just wanted to solve these problems quickly and send Zhu Shou away. Other things could only wait until later.

"Senior brother." After hearing this, Master Fang Shi's face suddenly showed anger, but he was pulled away by Fang Sheng on the side, and his eyes fell on the countless soldiers behind him.

What's the use of being strong in martial arts?Can it withstand thousands of troops?At this time, Fang Sheng was vaguely aware of the reason why Fang Zheng was giving in step by step.King Ming started to cause trouble for Shaolin as soon as he came up. He came with bad intentions. If he retorts at this time, isn't it an excuse?
"Master is wise and knows the way of giving up." Zhu Shou took a deep look at Master Fang Zheng. This old monk was indeed not simple. He knew his purpose and wanted to use these things to block his mouth. But if it was just these things, he would It is impossible for him to return to the capital. "Don't dare, don't dare." Fang Zheng felt bitter in his heart and explained quickly, with a humble smile on his face. He was really scared when facing King Ming.

"Let's go! Go in and have a look." Zhu Shou said with a smile: "When I was alone in the capital, I heard that the world's martial arts originated from Shaolin, which shows that Shaolin has a profound heritage."

"Your Majesty, there is also the theory of Northern Shaolin and Southern Wudang. Wudang inherits Zhang Sanfeng, and his martial arts are far superior to Shaolin." Fang Zheng said quickly.

He and Chongxu are allies, but when Shaolin's life and death are at stake, what are allies? Aren't they abandoned by the other party?Allies are for sale.

"Shaolin has a saying of 72 stunts. I am very curious. Is there anyone in Shaolin who has mastered 72 stunts?" Zhu Shou was disdainful, but still asked.

"The king is joking. Except for Patriarch Bodhidharma, no one in Shaolin has ever mastered the 72 stunts. Each of us can only practice three or four stunts. There are very few people who can master more than a dozen stunts." ." Fang Zheng said with a bitter smile.

Shaolin's stunts are famous all over the world, and everyone wants to master the 72 stunts. However, it is a pity that no one can master the 72 stunts in Shaolin, and even more than a dozen stunts are impossible.

Zhu Shou nodded. He believed that Fang Zheng would not deceive him. Shaolin's stunts were not only related to internal strength and qualifications, but also related to Buddhism. According to the sweeping monk, every stunt must be matched. A kind of Buddhism. Only by understanding the Buddhism can one suppress the inner demons and learn the corresponding stunts. Otherwise, there is a possibility of becoming possessed.

Zhu Shou himself doesn't know whether Shaolin's stunts are so weird, but Xiao Yuanshan, Murong Bo and others are examples. These people all had problems with practicing 72 stunts forcibly.

"I just want to give it a try." Zhu Shou suddenly said.

"This King Ming is very talented and may be able to do it." Fang Zheng said quickly.

Zhu Shou laughed loudly after hearing this. The old monk in front of him was not a good person. Zhu Shou was not sure whether the other party knew this secret. If he knew, it would be a heinous crime. He wanted to harm himself!

"Master Fang Zheng, you have also met Taoist Master Chongxu. I think Laigu's meaning is very clear. What do you think? Does Shaolin support the establishment of Shaolin Martial Arts Academy by the imperial court?" Zhu Shou finally asked.

"When I return to the king, the poor monk naturally has no objection, but dispatching masters from the temple to teach is a decision that needs to be made through consultation between the whole Shaolin team." Fang Zheng explained.

"In that case, let's discuss it! Let's go and walk around alone." Zhu Shou said accordingly.
