Go Down the Mountain!
There were hundreds of monks on Shaoshi Mountain. Including the Hall of Great Strength, there were a total of six ancient buildings. The only one who could move like a ruffian in the temple was Shang Yin. The three most senior monks in the temple sat in the abbot's room. The abbot sat in the head seat, and on both sides were two old monks of the Xuan generation, Xuan Ku and Xuan Nan. At this moment, the three of them seemed to be discussing something, and the atmosphere in the meditation room was a little solemn.
"Senior Brother Abbot, the black-clothed man we found in the Sutra Depository last night is not weak, and he has the shadow of our Shaolin Temple. Do you really have no impression of that person?”Xuan Nan said doubtfully. Last night, he found a black-clothed man in the Sutra Depository. At that time, he thought that a thief had entered Shaolin Temple. After fighting, the other party escaped.
The abbot shook his head and said," I don't have any impression of it. Recently, I've been feeling restless. I still can't let go of the incident from eighteen years ago. I keep feeling that Shaolin Temple isn't peaceful recently. Perhaps a catastrophe is coming."”
"There's no need to worry, Senior Abbot. You did it for the people of the Central Plains. "If a calamity is coming, all the monks of our Shaolin Temple will not stand by and watch. The reputation of the century-old temple is outside. When the time comes, the Shaolin Temple will do its best to defend.”Xuan Ku said in a deep voice. He felt that as long as they made plans, they would be fine. They did not need to blame themselves too much.
"Yes, but I still can't let go. Junior Brother Xuan Nan, when Shang Yin comes later, you have to be more serious and not be seen through. Shaolin Temple has not been around in Jianghu for a long time. If the catastrophe is coming, we have to at least protect some of our heritage. If he is safe, we should let him go down the mountain to train. This child's heart is not in Shaolin Temple.”The abbot said.
"Amitabha. It's time for him to leave the mountain.”Xuan Nan chanted the name of Buddha. He was Shang Yin's master and had watched him grow up for so many years. Of course, he knew that Shang Yin's heart was not here. The high walls of Shaolin Temple could not trap him. If he was trapped too much, it would only backfire.
Shang Yin had a ruffian expression on his face as he walked towards the abbot's room like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. This was the experience he had accumulated over the years. He was the youngest and had the most contact with the old monks. As long as he put on this posture, the three old monks wouldn't do anything to him. At most, they would punish him by cleaning.
But today was different. After entering the abbot's room, Shang Yin felt a heavy atmosphere, and the roguish expression on his face slowly relaxed.
"Master, uncle-master, I'm coming in." Shang Yin called out carefully after entering the room.
"Come in."
Hearing the answer, Shang Yin walked in. There was only a little agarwood in the meditation room, and the moment Shang Yin entered the main room, he saw the abbot and the other two sitting cross-legged on the meditation bed. The atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
"Master, Uncle-Master, Uncle-Master Abbot.”Shang Yin said in a low voice.
"How dare you! Kneel down!" Suddenly, Xuan Nan, who was sitting at the side, shouted. Shang Yin immediately felt a jolt and raised his head to look at his master in confusion.
"Master?" Shang Yin called out in confusion. Usually, even if he was caught stealing meat, nothing would happen. Why was he so strict this time?
The abbot pressed his hand and said,"It's alright. Hui Shi, do you know why I called you here this time?"”
"Yes, did I steal some meat?" Shang Yin probed.
"Yes, Shaolin Temple is strictly guarded, so this time you will be expelled from the temple."”
"Expel from the temple, ah!" Hearing this, the indifferent expression on Shang Yin's face suddenly turned pale with fright, as if a bolt of lightning had struck on a sunny day. In the past, no matter what mistakes he made, he would not be punished. But this time, he was actually expelled from the temple! Having lived in Shaolin Temple for seven years, it would be a lie to say that he had no feelings. Shang Yin would never have thought that the punishment would be so severe. He simply could not believe it!
"Master, you're lying, right? You're lying to me.”Shang Yin looked at Xuan Nan in disbelief.
Xuan Nan shook his head and said,"It's true. Usually, you eat meat just to ask for some from the martial nephew in charge of purchasing." But this time, you actually killed yourself. Stealing a farmer's live chicken and killing it is a crime. I won't forgive you this time.”
"No, I can't! No! Master, punish me to clean the meditation room. I'll either go to the Sutra Library or go to the back of the mountain to reflect on my mistakes! Don't chase me away!" Shang Yin said with red eyes. It was only when he was about to leave this thousand-year-old temple that he realized that he had already treated this place as his home. In his previous life, he had not experienced the warmth of home for more than 20 years, but he felt it from the monks of Shaolin Temple. His senior brothers, junior brothers, junior nephews, and master were like his family. In fact, in his eyes, they couldn't even be compared to his family.
"Don't mess around!" Xuan Nan let out a sigh with a straight face. After which, he took a deep breath and said,"Go down the mountain. Your ambition is not in the temple, so you are allowed to go down the mountain now.”
"But Master!" Shang Yin was still unwilling.
At this time, the abbot said,"Go. After you leave the mountain, you will still be a Shaolin disciple." It's good to wander around outside. Shaolin Temple is still your home. If you miss home, you can come back and visit. Remember to be merciful. When you go down the mountain, you must save the world. Use my Shaolin Buddhism to save all living beings.”
"Child, cultivate well after you leave the mountain. Shaolin martial arts is like sailing against the current.”At this moment, Xuan Ku said one last sentence. After that, the three of them stopped talking. Xuan Nan still looked at him with a serious expression.
Shang Yin's expression changed from disbelief to shock, and finally, it slowly became resigned to his fate. Wiping his slightly red eyes, Shang Yin suddenly knelt down in front of the three people present. His head was pinned to the ground, and he did not get up. He shouted," Kneel to the heavens, kneel to the heavens, kneel to my parents. I don't have a father or a mother, so all of you are my family." This time, I will definitely make a name for Shaolin and restore our Shaolin disciples! Thank you, Master, for raising me for so many years. I will always be a member of Shaolin. In the future, when Shaolin is in trouble, I will come and bear it with all of you!”
After saying that, Shang Yin stood up and walked out of the door without looking at the three of them again. He was afraid that he would not be able to move if he turned around and took a look! After he left, the faint sound of chanting came from the abbot's room.
