"According to the Shaolin precepts, the punishment for violating the precepts of adultery is to punish a hundred sticks in public. If you commit the precepts of killing, you need to recover your martial arts and expel them from Shaolin. Xu Zhu, if you commit both precepts at the same time, you should naturally be punished with both crimes. Do you have anything else to say?"

Before Master Xuanji finished speaking, Xu Zhu trembled all over and his mind was blank. He just shook his head subconsciously and replied: "The disciple is guilty and cannot be justified. He is willing to accept the punishment of the Grand Master..."

"Since you have no objection, that's good!" Master Xuan Ji nodded, then waved his hand and ordered a young monk standing behind him, "Hui Fang, take Xu Zhu to the precepts hall to receive the punishment now!" The young monk agreed and was about to set off. However, at this moment, Master Xuan Nan suddenly shouted "Stop it, then stood up, bowed to Abbot Xuan Ci, and said, "Abbot Senior Brother, I have something to say."

"Yeah." Abbot Xuanci waved his hand slightly and let the Huifang stop. Then he heard Master Xuannan say, "Abbot, senior brothers, nowadays, there are many fellow martial artists coming to this temple. At this critical moment, punishing disciples will probably have an impact on my reputation in Shaolin Temple? Besides, in two days it will be the day for the martial arts conference, and the people in the temple are not very enough. Therefore, I think, let him leave the matter for Xu Zhu first, let him stay in the temple to help. When the martial arts conference is over, it will be too late to strictly enforce the precepts."

"Hmm?" Abbot Xuanci was stunned for a moment, with a slightly strange expression. To be precise, the two reasons of Xuannan are actually not very reliable. However, from his expression, it seems that he really wants to ease it and let Xu Zhu stay in the temple for a while, which will arouse Xuanci's interest.

At this moment, Xu Zhu also came to his senses a little and begged sincerely: "Abbot is merciful, and I am willing to stay and do my best for Shaolin. The disciple grew up in Shaolin Temple and has been for more than 20 years. Over the years, all the teachers and teachers have devoted countless efforts to the disciples. Now, the disciple is unfilial and violates the precepts and should be expelled from the temple. However, the disciple begged the abbot to show his compassion and give him some time to repay the master's grace for raising him..."

Speaking of the emotions, Xu Zhu burst into tears while kowtowing hard. At the beginning, Xuanci and others were still full of compassion, but not long after, his face changed slightly, and he subconsciously set his eyes on Xu Zhu's forehead.

If Xu Zhu was not in a state of losing his mind now, in order to show his humility and piety, he would definitely control his true qi. But, he was too excited now, and the extremely thick innate true qi in his body lost control. Just as he kowtowed hard, the countless true qi spontaneously ran, activate the body protection effect.

Therefore, in the midst of the banging sound, Master Xuanci keenly noticed that the hard bricks and stones on the ground had cracks, but as a flesh and blood body, Xu Zhu's forehead was still smooth and without any scars left! After this discovery, with Abbot Xuanci's mental cultivation, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and took a breath of air. Needless to say, he almost guessed why Master Xuannan suddenly jumped out to plead for him...

"Mencisses say that it is convenient for others and for themselves. Master Abbot, the younger generation, is brave enough to ask for love for Senior Brother Xu Zhu. Please let him stay in Shaolin Temple for a while!" Just as Master Xuanci's heart was in a state of uproar, Duan Yu, who had been standing behind Luo Yuchen very low-key, couldn't help but walk out, bow to Master Xuanci, and also beg for help.

"Hey, little donor, what a familiar face!" He turned his gaze away from Xu Zhu as if nothing had happened. After looking at Duan Yu, Abbot Xuanci's expression moved slightly again: "Is the little donor surnamed Duan?"

"Yes, younger generation Duan Yu, Dali people." As soon as this said, not only Master Xuanci, but also Xuan Ji, Xuan Bei, Xuan Ku and others on his left head were moved: "It turns out that he is the Prince of Dali, I am rude... Well, okay, Xu Zhu, considering that you have a good attitude towards confessing guilt, you are also pleading for you. I will make an exception today and let you stay in the temple for a while!"

"Ah, yes, thank you abbot, most of you, Mr. Duan..." After a little stunned, Xu Zhu was overjoyed and thanked Abbot Xuanci and Duan Yu incoherently. Xuanci smiled slightly, and did not care much, but turned to look at Master Xuanji: "How about it, Junior Brother Xuanji, my decision should not violate the temple rules, right?"

"This?" Xuan Ji frowned, looked at Master Xuanci, then sighed and shook his head slightly: "There is no explicit provision in the temple rules. Monks who violate the precepts cannot stay in the temple. However, I think there should be a limit on the stay time?"

"That's right, that's it. Since it's my fault, I'll add a deadline." Xuanci pondered for a while, "Well, it's better to take a month. After a month, Xu Zhu must leave Shaolin anyway!" Master Xuanji nodded with satisfaction and added: "And, during this month, Xu Zhu's whereabouts will be subject to certain restrictions. If you're fine, it's better to stay in the precepts and be supervised by a dedicated person."

"This is also a matter of course. Xu Zhu, do you agree with this way of handling it?" Where would Xu Zhu have any objections? Without thinking, he nodded violently and agreed to all the conditions: "Disciples have no objections and are willing to accept supervision from the precepts chiefs!"

"Well, that's good, Huifang, you should take Xu Zhu to the precepts court and settle him down!" He issued an order again, and no one stopped Master Xuan Ji's decision. So, Xu Zhu's problem came to an end. Although the atmosphere at the scene was not very good, it did not become too bad. After Xu Zhu's figure disappeared, Master Xuanci turned his head and said to Duan Yu: "Mr. Duan, in fact, Ling Zun is also staying in my temple now. You shouldn't know this news yet, right?"

"Ah, my father is here too?" Duan Yu was surprised, a little surprised and a little nervous: "Uh, Master Abbot, I'm so rude, I'm so rude. Please ask the master to take me to see my father. I've been away from home for so long, I'm afraid he should be anxious..."

"Haha, human ethics, this is what it should be!" Abbot Xuanci smiled and waved his hand, called a little novice monk over, and took Duan Yu out. After Luo Yuchen calculated the time, he also stood up and said to Abbot Xuanci: "Master Abbot has complicated affairs and time is precious. We idle people will not take up much of your time, look..."

Master Xuanci understood and stood up, "Young Master Luo is so polite. This martial arts conference was held by our temple to solve some housework that cannot be used. The young hero was able to make the temple's wedding shine brightly. How could there be any disturbances or not? However, the young hero and his group came from a long distance from thousands of miles away, but it was also hard. Therefore, it would be better to settle down in the guest room first. If there is anything, we should rest for a while before talking about it?"

"Just about to trouble your temple!" Abbot Xuanci smiled again, not disturbing her, and then stretched out her hand. Seeing this posture, she seemed to want to lead the way herself and took Luo Yuchen and others to the guest room to settle. However, before she set off and before Luo Yuchen refused, a welcome monk hurried in and respectfully delivered a thick stack of prayer letters to Abbot Xuanci!

"Young hero, wait!" As soon as he saw the anxious face of the welcome monk, Master Xuanci's heart sank slightly. After taking the prayer letter, he immediately showed a look of shock and doubt on his face: "Sorry, Young Master Luo, there were suddenly many Buddhist colleagues coming up the mountain to visit him. I'm afraid I'm going to lose my companion..."

"Master, don't worry, just go and receive distinguished guests first!" Luo Yuchen waved his hand calmly. Abbot Xuanci nodded slightly, then glanced at the old monks who were accompanying him, and picked out casually: "Junior Brother Xuanku, I'm sorry, take Luo Shaoxia and his party to the guest room to settle. Well, Junior Brother Xuanji, you go to Mingzhong to gather all the monks in the temple and gather in the main hall. The visitors outside are not a minor matter. They are brothers on the sacred mountain of Qingliang Temple, Master Jiumozhi, and several respected Buddhist masters who come to visit at the same time. Our Shaolin Temple cannot be too rude!"

"Yes, follow the abbot's order!" When Master Xuanci said the series of familiar names, all the old monks were slightly moved, with a look of doubt on their faces. Soon, the bells that were even more grander than before were not long ago, and Luo Yuchen and his group did not stay in the hall and were obsessed with them. Instead, under the leadership of Master Xuanku, they walked towards the guest room of Shaolin Temple...

"Hey, by the way, Master, if you are not mistaken, you were the teacher of Qiao Feng, the former leader of the Beggars' Sect?" After walking a distance and staggering the abortions that were gathering towards the hall, Luo Yuchen suddenly remembered a question and asked Master Xuanku.

"Yes, I have indeed taught Master Qiao some basic introductory skills. Is there anything wrong with the young hero?" Luo Yuchen smiled, "The master doesn't know anything. I'm a friend of the boss Qiao. When I met last time, he said he wanted to go back to Shaolin. I wonder if Master has ever seen him?"

"Oh, so that's it!" Master Xuanku nodded slightly when he heard Luo Yuchen telling the news that Qiao Feng was about to return to Shaolin, and the vigilance in his eyes slowly disappeared. "To be honest, the young hero said that the leader of the Qiao Gang did come to Shaolin once more than two months ago, but he just met me in a hurry. Later, after he went down the mountain, there was no news again."
