After asking the believer to help deliver the letter, Mu Xiaojiu, Huang Rong and Pan Li went directly to the carriage and horse shop, rented a carriage, and prepared to go to Songshan.

From Lin'an to Songshan, the distance is not close, almost more than 2,000 miles away. Mu Xiaojiu and the three of them took a carriage all the way, and it took almost five full days to arrive in Luoyang.

In fact, if you ride a horse, this time can be shortened a little, but Mu Xiaojiu feels that there is no need to hurry up and make up the time for a day or two.

Although a few people were not in a hurry, they actually didn't have much rest along the way, and even slept directly at the post station most of the time, so when they arrived in Luoyang City, the first thing everyone did was to quickly find an inn with a better environment and take a bath and rest for a night.

And taking this opportunity, Mu Xiaojiu also went to the six gates, and handed over the letter to the emperor to the director of the six doors in Luoyang.

After a good night's rest, the next morning, Mu Xiaojiu took Huang Rong up the mountain, as for Pan Li, Mu Xiaojiu didn't care about him, after all, Pan Li had nothing to do with him, and he didn't bother to take Pan Li up the mountain.

The reason why Shaolin Temple is called Shaolin Temple is precisely because it is located in the dense jungle of Shaomu Mountain in the hinterland of Songshan Mountain, this temple was built in the 19th year of Taihe of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it was built by Emperor Xiaowen in order to place the Indian monk Batuo Venerable whom he admired, and the northern foot of Shaomu Mountain of Songshan facing the capital Luoyang.

Because there are the legendary seventy-two stunts in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, as well as the world's treasure scriptures - the Yijin Sutra and the Two Sutras of the Washing Pulp, Shaolin Temple is also known as the authentic martial arts of the world.

Today's Shaolin Temple has experienced many years of ups and downs, but it is still the sect that holds the bull's ear in the righteous path. This shows the influence of the Shaolin Temple and its strength.

Of course, the sect located on Songshan Mountain is not a Shaolin Temple. For many years, the Songshan faction, which is also located on Songshan Mountain, has always been eyeing the Shaolin Temple, hoping to suppress the Shaolin Temple.

In fact, there is a reason why the Songshan faction does this, after all, the Songshan faction and the Shaolin Temple are also located on the top of the Songshan Mountain, so many people will only go to the Shaolin Temple, and then ignore the Songshan faction.

Therefore, in fact, the Songshan faction is faintly located under the suppression of the Shaolin Temple.

On the mountain road of Shaolin Temple, Mu Xiaojiu and Huang Rong walked side by side. When they first went up the mountain, the two faintly heard the sound of the bell striking in the temple.

Along the way, the two can often see the guest monks and miscellaneous monks in the Shaolin Temple, obviously there are no fallen leaves on the mountain road, but there will still be many miscellaneous monks cleaning with brooms. Sometimes, a monk walks past the two of them carrying two buckets full of water.

Mu Xiaojiu took a closer look, but found some clues from it - these monks could obviously speed up, but everyone walked steadily and steadily up the stone steps step by step, and none of them were in a hurry to make progress and pursue speed.

In particular, a monk who passed by on the way, who seemed to be in his forties or fifties, dressed in a short gray-brown monk's robe, walked up with his eyes closed, and still had words in his mouth. When he passed by Mu Xiaojiu, Mu Xiaojiu could hear clearly, this monk was actually reciting Buddhist scriptures.

Seeing this scene, Mu Xiaojiu couldn't help but sigh.

Looking at the appearance of this monk, it is obvious that he doesn't know how many times he has walked on this mountain road with water on it, and he can walk up step by step without mistakes with his eyes closed. At the same time, while walking, he was able to recite Buddhist scriptures at the same time, without allowing himself to make the slightest mistake, and the height of each step and the length of the step were exactly the same.

Moreover, from the steps of this monk, Mu Xiaojiu could clearly see that this monk's internal strength cultivation was absolutely exquisite.

"Shaolin Temple, as expected...... it deserves its name" Mu Xiaojiu smiled for a moment, and then sighed.

"Two donors, I don't know what you have to do in this temple?" When they walked to the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple, two Zhike monks with long sticks greeted them from the side of the stone pillar of the mountain gate, saluted the two, and then asked softly.

Mu Xiaojiu arched his hand at the two monks, and then said: "Two, Mu Xiaojiu, a disciple on Lower Peach Blossom Island, this one is my senior sister, Huang Rong, the beloved daughter of the Eastern Evil Yellow Medicine Master. The two of us are here today to visit your temple as martial artists. At the same time, there is also a letter written by the beggar gang leader Qiao to Master Xuanku of your temple, and he wants to give it to Master Xuanku. ”

As he spoke, Mu Xiaojiu took out the letter from his body.

After the two took it and took a cursory look, one of the monks said to the two: "Two, please wait a moment, and let me go up for a while, and tell Master Xuanku, and there will be results later." ”

Mu Xiaojiu nodded, pulled Huang Rong to the side, and then asked another monk who knew the guest: "This master, I want to ask, just now I saw a monk wearing a short gray-brown monk's robe, about forty or fifty years old, carrying two buckets of water and walking up, I don't know which senior monk in your temple is that?" ”

The monk blinked, and then guessed who Mu Xiaojiu was asking, and replied with a smile: "This benefactor, the monk's Dharma name Zuming, was originally a monk of my uncle's generation, this person's Dharma cultivation is okay, but it's a pity that he has no talent in martial arts, and he still doesn't know any martial arts after practicing martial arts for decades, so he can only pick up water in the temple." By the way, what did he do, you ask? ”

Suddenly, the monk patted his head and suddenly said, "I know!" You saw that he was carrying water before, and was deceived by his pretended profoundness! Hey, don't worry, you're not the first, Uncle Zu Ming can deceive others every day, in fact, he can walk on the steps with his eyes closed, just because he has been on this road for decades, and he is already familiar with it. ”

Mu Xiaojiu smiled at the monk, but he didn't respond to anything, he still trusted his own judgment a little more.

After cultivating the Crane and Catching the Dragon for so long, it can be said that it is getting easier and easier for him to detect the fluctuations of other people's internal breath. In his perception, the monk Zu Ming who carried the water was clearly a big master, at least at the same level as Xiongba.

Obviously, the ancestral monk was just hiding in the temple, just like ......

Just like the sweeping monk in the Scripture Pavilion.

Sweeping monks, water carrying monks, plus Zhang Sanfeng Zhang Zhenren's master Master Jueyuan, Shaolin Temple can indeed be called Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Over the years, because it has always been the sect that holds the bull's ear in the righteous path of martial arts, Shaolin Temple has always been stared at by all major sects in the world. In the past two years, because of the reappearance of the major hidden sects, the status of Shaolin Temple seems to be a little precarious.

However, that's just strength on the surface.

From the three people mentioned above, it can be seen that the Shaolin Temple can actually be described as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but many masters are hiding in the shadows.

The monk who went back to report did not let Mu Xiaojiu and Huang Rong wait too long, and it didn't take long for the monk to run back, and then saluted Mu Xiaojiu and the others, "Two, Master Xuanku asked me to take the two to see him." ”

Mu Xiaojiu smiled modestly, nodded at the Zhike monk, and then followed the footsteps of the leading monk with Huang Rong.

……

"Two, Master Xuanku lives here, and the master has instructed me to go in directly after the two of you come, and you don't have to bother anymore."

After bringing the two to the place, the monk explained it, and then left here directly. After Mu Xiaojiu and Huang Rong glanced at each other, they simply stepped forward and pushed the door open.

After entering the door, I saw a monk with a compassionate face but a faint look of distress sitting cross-legged on a futon, facing the two of them. As soon as the two entered, the monk said directly without opening his eyes: "Mu Shizhu, Huang Shizhu, the poor monk is Shaolin Xuanku, I heard that the two of you have a letter from my disciple Qiao Feng?" ”

Mu Xiaojiu was about to answer, but when he saw Huang Rong take a step forward, he smiled with some curiosity and said, "Oh? Why don't you open your eyes and know it's the two of us? ”

Xuan Ku smiled and said: "In the entire Shaolin Temple, it is not often that people will come to my meditation room, and I know who the people who will come are." I can't hear the footsteps of the two, so naturally it is the Mu Shi and Huang Shi that the disciples just learned about. ”

Mu Xiaojiu suddenly opened his mouth, and there was a sense of helplessness in his words: "Why does Master Xuanku tease me, senior sister? Although the realm is not as good as the master, but since I learned the Ling Bo microstep, only the masters above the grandmaster can hear my footsteps, not even the grandmaster. Master Xuanku, you are only in the master realm, and you have not practiced any Qimen kung fu, how can you hear my footsteps? ”

Huang Rong just asked casually before, and didn't use her brain to think about it at all, but now that Mu Xiaojiu said this, Huang Rong immediately figured it out, "Okay, you old monk, you obviously heard the words of the little monk who knew the guest, why did you lie to me, it's really hateful." ”

Master Xuanku opened his eyes suddenly, and said with a smile: "It's just a joke, I hope you two don't blame you." The name of the wood donor, the poor monk has also heard of it a little, therefore, the temperament of the wood donor, the poor monk can guess a little, if not such a joke, the wood donor will not ask me. ”

Mu Xiaojiu was stunned, then suddenly laughed, and bowed to Xuan Ku with a happy heart, "Master Xuan Ku's Buddhism is profound, I was arrogant before. I hope you don't be surprised when you offend. ”

Xuan smiled bitterly and nodded, took the letter that Qiao Feng wrote to him from Mu Xiaojiu's hand, and then opened it and looked at it.

The more he looked at the letter, the deeper Xuan Ku's brows wrinkled, and when he got to the back, Xuan Ku stood up directly from the futon, raised his hand and grabbed Mu Xiaojiu's left wrist, and then put his fingers on it.

Huang Rong was taken aback and was about to make a move, but was stopped by Mu Xiaojiu.
