Immediately, the burly man threw a punch at Monk Jueming. Jueming raised his right hand and grabbed the burly man's fist. The burly man was still trying to exert his strength when Jueming caught him and subdued him.
"I wonder if you can let this little benefactor go now?”Jueming said with a smile.
"Alright, please let go of my companion, First Master.”Elder Zhao thought that he was no match for the monk, so he agreed.
However, he thought to himself,'When the two of you return to the temple, Little Rascal will still be alone with no one to help him. We'll go and capture him!”
When Jueming saw that Elder Zhao had agreed to let Yang Guo go, he let go of the burly man who had been subdued and helped Yang Guo untie the rope that bound his hands.
"Little benefactor, they have already agreed to let you leave.”Jue Yuan said kindly.
Yang Guo rolled his eyes and knelt on the ground again, crying to Jue Yuan." Master Jue Yuan, there's no one else in my family. I can be said to have no one to rely on in the north." Moreover, if I leave now, they will come to capture me in private. Wouldn't the result be the same? Masters, why don't you let me follow you back to the temple first?”
When Elder Zhao heard Yang Guo's words, he immediately cursed him for being sly. He said to Jue Yuan,"Masters, you must not bring him into the temple."?Looking at his eyes darting around, she knew that he was up to no good.”
Jue Yuan frowned and looked at Jueming.
"Little benefactor, then come back to the temple with us!”Jueming said happily.
"Master, you must not…"
Elder Zhao was about to continue when Jueming interrupted him. If you let him go now, won't he be captured by you again when we are far away? As for saying that the young benefactor has ill intentions, he doesn't have any martial arts at all. How can he attack us monks?”
Seeing that things were not going well, Old Zhao could only bring his subordinates back to the Central Capital.
Yang Guo happily wiped away the tears that he had forced out of his eyes. He stood up and said to Jue Yuan," Come, Master Jue Yuan. I'll help you carry the burden."”
"There's no need, little benefactor. You might not be able to do it.”Jue Yuan was a little worried that Yang Guo's small body couldn't bear the weight of the burden.
"It's fine. Don't look at me because I'm a little weak. When my mother was still alive, I was the one who chopped wood and carried water at home. Besides, you saved me, so I have to do something to repay you.”Yang Guo said with a smile.
"Junior Brother Jue Yuan, let him try. If he could do it, he would beg the abbot to keep him. Don't you need a helper? Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone down the mountain with you.”Jueming advised.
"Alright then!" Jueyuan handed over the burden.
Yang Guo knew that this was an opportunity that he had to seize. He lifted the load with all his might, but he almost lifted the wicker baskets at both ends of the load.
"Isn't this very heavy?" Yang Guo muttered.
"Little benefactor, aren't you strong? I was almost fooled by your figure.”Jueming said in surprise.
"Of course. When I was young, I was often sick. My mother knew some martial arts, so she taught me some basic martial arts to strengthen my body!”Yang Guo said proudly.
"That's even better. The abbot might even let you join the temple!”Jueming said.
"That won't do. I don't want to shave my head and become a monk!”Yang Guo shook his head.
"You don't have to shave your head and be a monk. Shaolin has many secular disciples. It's just that the martial arts that the layman disciples learn are far inferior to the martial arts that we official disciples learn.”Jueming said.
"Eh? Didn't you say that Master Jue Yuan doesn't know martial arts?”Yang Guo looked at Jue Yuan and asked in confusion.
"Junior Brother Jue Yuan is too kind-hearted and has never liked martial arts since he was young. Otherwise, with his aptitude, he would have been a top expert in the temple long ago.”Jueming said regretfully.
Jueyuan did not react differently to Jueming's words. He still said kindly," Senior Brother Jueming, little benefactor, let's hurry back to the temple. Don't let the people in the temple starve!" Oh, I still don't know what your name is?”
"Yang Guo, change your name!" Yang Guo liked this approachable Monk Jue Yuan very much, so he told him the truth.
"Almsgiver Yang, please come back to the temple with us.”
……
"Reporting to Abbot.....(countless words omitted here) It is like this. I wonder if the abbot can make Yang Guo stay?”Jue Yuan brought Yang Guo to report to the abbot, Zen Master Tian Ming.
The abbot, Zen Master Tian Ming, looked at Yang Guo, who seemed to have a good root bone. He stepped forward and touched Yang Guo's root bone. It was indeed high-grade. If Yang Duo was nurtured, he would become a new martial arts genius, and Shaolin would have an additional ability to protect themselves.
"Yes, your root bone is indeed not bad! Then I wonder if little benefactor Yang Guo is willing to join my Shaolin Temple, receive the precepts, and become a Shaolin disciple?”The abbot said with a smile.
"No, I don't want to be a monk!" When Yang Guo heard that he wanted him to be a monk, he naturally shook his head and did not agree.
At this moment, the Dharma Yard's head monk, Zen Master Wuxiang, said in a somewhat harsh tone," Little benefactor, you have to know that if you become a disciple of Shaolin, you can learn many high-grade martial arts. This opportunity cannot be missed!"”
"No, I definitely won't be a monk!”Yang Guo insisted.
"Since Yang Guo is unwilling to join our Buddhist Sect, then I implore Abbot to keep him as a secular disciple and help me. This way, he wouldn't have to trouble Senior Brother Jueming every time!”Jue Yuan felt that the time had come, so he suggested.
The abbot thought about it again and again and thought to himself,"It's better to keep Yang Guo. Perhaps in the future, he will feel that he has thought it through and come to be a monk."”
The abbot thought about it and agreed,"Then let him be a secular disciple!" Jue Yuan, bring him to make a name for himself and record it down.”
Jue Yuan bowed and retreated with Yang Guo.
Zen Master Wuxiang was puzzled. He asked the abbot,"He doesn't want to be a monk. Why did he stay?" One had to know that the Mongol imperial court had always been eyeing the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Depository covetously!”
"Let's wait and see!" The abbot said helplessly.
The abbot had no choice. Moreover, Yang Guo alone could not solve the problem.
The reason why he kept Yang Guo was because of Jue Yuan. Jue Yuan grew up in the temple and had always been a good person who worked hard without complaint. Jue Yuan's Innate Ability was very good, but he had no intention of learning martial arts. Otherwise, he would probably be the number one person in the temple!
Although Jue Yuan was respected by the people in the temple, the people in the temple were busy practicing martial arts and protecting Shaolin. They would not always take care of him, who did not know martial arts. Now that Yang Guo had come, Jue Yuan had a companion!
