Chapter 3: Big Brother, something terrible has happened, it is the law of righteousness!
Three days later, at Yinlong Temple.
After taking care of his master's funeral, he respectfully placed his master's urn on the altar and burned incense. Then Yi Chen went to the backyard to start his daily exercise.
Qing Yunzi took the two little ones, Qing Feng and Ming Yue, to recite the "Tai Shang Ling Fei Jing" in the front hall.
This scripture was what the master required them to do every day in their morning prayers. He said that if they could gain some insights from it, it would be of great benefit to their spiritual awakening.
However, Yi Chen didn't even believe in punctuation marks. The scripture was obscure and difficult to understand. He had read it for ten years, but it was of no use. His eloquence did become extremely fluent.
Later, whenever there was a wedding or funeral in the surrounding area that needed someone to preside over it, Bai Yunzi would basically ask Yi Chen to do it, because Yi Chen was so professional at this job that Bai Yunzi felt inferior to him.
As soon as Yi Chen opened his mouth, he sang a set of lines, and the host cried out for money.
This is professionalism! Now that his master is dead and there is no one to suppress him, Yi Chen added a rule to the Hidden Dragon Temple that the headmaster does not need to recite the "Taishang Lingfei Sutra".
Spirituality was illusory to him. He studied for ten years but made no progress, which basically sentenced him to death.
But the golden finger that was awakened three days ago is real and effective.
Although he could not find more crimson dots in a short period of time, the source points could be obtained by stimulating the body through exercise.
This is a path to stability and strength.
"Chanting sutras, chanting sutras is useless. Evil people won't buy it, and neither will evil ghosts. For me, it's better to lift weights to gain strength."
Yi Chen was listening to his fellow disciples reciting Taoist scriptures in the backyard and couldn't help but complain in his heart.
He had said similar things to Bai Yunzi before, which made Bai Yunzi so angry that he said he was a stubborn stone...
In the backyard, Yi Chen assembled a simple barbell using an iron rod and two huge millstones.
The stone mill looked bigger than a wheel, and each one weighed more than three hundred kilograms.
This was modified by himself three days ago after his Xiao Chun Yang Gong broke through to the fifth level and his strength increased greatly.
Straight bench press, flat bench press, barbell squat, deadlift, upright barbell curl, rear shoulder row. After doing this combination, even though Yi Chen's physique is far superior to that of ordinary people, he still feels sore in his muscles.
But it hurts.
The source is obtained from pain.
After his master passed away, Yi Chen turned his grief into motivation. He took time out for the past three days to exercise and put more pressure on himself. Relying on his ruthlessness towards himself, he managed to accumulate 0.1 source points.
"This is my practice, chanting? Chanting bullshit!"
"This is my way." Yi Chen panted heavily and drank the salt water in the bamboo tube in one gulp.
Just as Yi Chen was hesitating whether to add a few more groups, a panicked voice came into his ears.
"Brother, Big Brother, something terrible has happened. The people from the Evil Tiger Gang are here!"
It is the sound of the breeze and the bright moon.
"The Evil Tiger Gang? How dare they?"
Yi Chen narrowed his eyes, as if he had thought of something, and rushed to the front yard in a flash.
The Evil Tiger Gang was a dark and evil force in the nearby Qingniu Town. They opened casinos, brothels, and forced women of good families into prostitution. When Master Bai Yunzi was alive, he could not stand this and severely "saved" the Evil Tiger Gang several times before he put down their arrogance.
I think this time they must have heard the news of Bai Yunzi's death and came here to seek revenge.
"Senior brother is here, senior brother is here!" The two little guys Qingfeng and Mingyue came to Qingyunzi chattering.
At this time, there were more than a dozen burly men standing in the front yard, all with their chests exposed. One of them was leading a Tibetan mastiff and a wolfhound, two vicious dogs, who were growling softly.
Qing Yunzi was confronting the members of the Evil Tiger Gang. When he saw Qing Feng Ming Yue coming over, he could not help but protect the two of them behind him and scolded them in a low voice:
"Qingfeng, Mingyue, from now on when there are outsiders present, you should call them by their titles. Don't call them Senior Brother, call them Master. Do you understand?"
Yi Chen: “…”
Yi Chen ignored Qing Yunzi's muttering and stood in front of the Evil Tiger Gang.
Because he had been exercising before, he was not wearing a Taoist robe, but only a tight-fitting shorts. His strong chest muscles made the shorts bulge out, highlighting his sturdy muscles and broad arms.
Although Yi Chen had a strong physique before, he was not as sturdy as he is now. All these changes happened within these three days.
His height also jumped from over 1.80 meters to 1.9 meters, and is now stabilizing.
Standing in front, the members of the Evil Tiger Gang, who had been so arrogant before, became gentle and elegant, and even the two vicious dogs, the Tibetan Mastiff and the Wolfhound, could not help but tuck their tails between their legs.
"Hei Hu, what are you doing in my Yinlong Temple? Have you forgotten what your master taught you before?" Yi Chen frowned and said in a deep voice to the big man with a broad mouth and square nose who was leading the group.
Seeing that his younger brothers were shrinking, Hei Hu could not hold back any longer. He took a step forward and stood opposite Yi Chen. Black internal energy began to emerge on his arms and legs.
"Yichengzi, when I heard that Taoist Master Baiyun had passed away, I stopped visiting the brothel and rushed over from another place overnight to pay my respects to the grave."
"I know your inner strength well. Do you think you can scare Master Tiger by training some dead muscles?"
"How about selling this broken Taoist temple to my Evil Tiger Gang for ten taels of silver? I want to open a brothel in this Feng Shui treasure land of yours and find a group of women to pretend to be nuns. I'm sure we can make a lot of money."
As soon as Hei Hu said these words, the gang members behind him couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The memory of being humiliated and suppressed by Bai Yunzi in the past resurfaced. Hei Hu's domineering speech made them feel like they had eaten a popsicle in the dog days of summer. The morale of the Evil Tiger Gang soared, and even the dog began to whimper and dig the ground again.
Bai Yunzi is dead, so there is nothing to be afraid of the young ones!
What are you afraid of?
Among them, the big men with a mustache laughed the most exaggeratedly, and they laughed non-stop. They were all ashamed of their previous retreat, and looked at the four people in the Taoist temple with murderous eyes.
Before they came, their leader Black Tiger had already made plans with them. If they didn't know what was best for them, the two bigger ones would be killed, and the two smaller ones, who looked like delicate little Taoist boys, would be sold to the Beggars' Gang in the county and be paid for their bodies after being dismembered.
This kind of cute little doll can best arouse the love of kind-hearted people in the city and will definitely sell for a good price.
At this moment, something strange happened.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Puff! " A muffled sound came out.
The gang members who were laughing before suddenly stopped laughing like a duck being grabbed by the neck.
The black tiger who was talking nonsense before had his head disappeared. After being slapped by Yi Chen, his head sank straight into his chest. It was obvious that he would never have to speak again in his life.
Not only were the people from the Evil Tiger Gang stunned by this move, but even Qing Yunzi who was standing behind him was stunned.
Qing Yunzi finally understood why his master repeatedly told his eldest senior brother to win people over with virtue and practice benevolence and righteousness before his death.
If the eldest brother doesn't hold back, he is really a ruthless person... "Don't move, I will beat anyone who moves to death!"
Yi Chen smiled and threw the still bleeding body of Black Tiger to the ground. He looked at the dozen burly men from the Black Tiger Gang, revealing two rows of big white teeth that reflected white light in the sun.
The calm tone scared the members of the Evil Tiger Gang so much that they instantly turned into kitty cats and huddled together tremblingly.
However, at this moment, Yi Chen did not feel the slightest bit of pity for them.
If he hadn't activated the golden finger and greatly improved his skills, I'm afraid the fate of his fellow disciples would not have been good either.
He had advised his master at the beginning to eradicate all evil, but his master let Heihu go despite his begging for mercy, which led to the consequences of today.
Benevolence, righteousness, benevolence, righteousness.
Master Bai Yunzi always hoped that he would be a kind and righteous person, and even gave Yi Chen the Taoist name Yichengzi.
However, Yi Chen has always had a different understanding of the words benevolence and righteousness than Bai Yunzi.
We should not practice benevolence and righteousness towards the evil people in the world.
Those bastards are afraid of power but not virtue. If we show kindness and justice to them, who will show kindness and justice to those who are persecuted by them?
When they were violated by the evil tiger gang, where was the benevolence and righteousness? This kind of benevolence and righteousness is an infringement on the rights of the victims, which is unfair and Yi Chen does not agree with it.
Master Bai Yunzi’s benevolence and righteousness are great love, he does not have such high awareness and sentiment.
Yi Chen has his own understanding of the way of righteousness.
The sages in our past created characters.
The word "righteousness" is composed of a left stroke and a right stroke with a dot in the middle.
This was clearly a hint from the ancient sages to him. The best righteousness for evil people was to pat their heads against their chests, so that their heads would become the dot of the word "righteousness", and that righteousness would be achieved.
Glancing at the headless corpse of the black tiger, Yi Chen suddenly had an epiphany.
"Good is rewarded, evil is punished."
"This is righteousness, the true meaning!"
"What the ancients said is absolutely correct!"
"Master, I understand!"
"I will definitely win people over with my virtue and implement the way of benevolence and righteousness!"
In front of Yinlong Temple, the sky is clear and the air is fresh today, with a gentle breeze.
A strong Taoist looked at his palm and couldn't help but smile knowingly. The sunlight gilded his tall figure with a layer of gold. Behind him, a shadow shaped like the word "righteousness" quietly formed.
