Who the hell is sweeping monk?
(As for why she wandered the Jianghu and married the Murong family in Gusu, Jiangnan. There is no further explanation in the novel.
In Shaolin Temple, sweeping monk personally said that he was in the Sutra Pavilion "I don't know whether it was forty-two or forty-three years. When this old Buddhist Xiao first came to read the scriptures at night, I ... I have been here for ten years. " It means that he joined Shaolin at least after middle age and became a monk halfway. Or the memory of Murong Bo, the master of Huangmei whom he met 43 years ago. "I turned my head and saw a woman in her 30 s and 60 s sitting on one donkey, and a boy in her 50 s and 60 s sitting on the other donkey, with fine eyes and fine features. Both of them are wearing hemp Dai Xiao. " At that time, Murong Bo, a teenager, mocked the diamond ring and got into trouble. His mother scolded him and said, "Have you forgotten what your father said before he died?" Jin Yong's two paragraphs are to explain Murong Bo's father's "death". The specific time was 43 years ago. This time is crucial. It's time for sweeping monk to become a monk halfway and "hide" into the Shaolin Buddhist Temple to clean up. And from Jin Yong's description of sweeping monk's age (this monk is quite old, and his sparse beard is white. Judging from this, he must be eighty or ninety years old. Judging from age and status, it fits. What about martial arts? Sweeping monk saw at a glance that it was a bard's masterpiece, and the bard's disciples seldom walked in the Jianghu, so they were extremely secretive sects. Even few people know his name. If he is not a master in this field, how can he know his martial arts foundation only by hand? This shows that before sweeping monk became a monk halfway, he was familiar with the minstrel Xiaowu Xianggong's Juexue. Why is he familiar with Xiao Wu Xianggong? The only answer is Li Canghai. That is, Murong Bo's mother and sweeping monk's unmarried wife. She is the younger brother of Five Ducks.
In a scuffle in the Sutra Pavilion, he only accepted the fierce feat of martial arts Qiao Feng fighting dragons with his body. Although he vomited blood at once, his ribs were broken. But most of the palm force is discharged to the post behind him. The pillar cracked at once, but he didn't suffer many internal injuries. Seeing that he was carrying two "dead bodies" at once, with a wave of his robe and sleeve, he knew that the nine magic weapons at the peak of martial arts would be launched several feet away. Perhaps it's the stunt handed down from generation to generation by their Murong family. It's unlucky to take over power here.
When sweeping monk feigned death, Murong Bo was only 15 or 16 years old, and 43 years passed when the Sutra Pavilion met. Father and son are naturally beyond recognition. Never mind that monks have to shave their heads. After 43 years, any marks left by teenagers seem to have disappeared. How could Murong Bo recognize his father?
It's just how did he fake his death? His Murong family's "turtle breathing skill" has this function. I thought Murong Bo used it again. But why did he fake his death? What is the reason for joining Shaolin? Didn't even say. A novel can't tell everything. In a word, no matter what purpose sweeping monk sneaked into Shaolin 43 years ago. Soon after he entered Shaolin, he was assimilated by Buddhism in this Buddhist holy land. In the morning bell and dusk drum of Shaolin, I fully realized it. Really escape into an empty net, see through the world of mortals and wash away the lead. Even his own son has not been recognized for thirty years. Understand Zen's "Everything is empty." After decades of vicissitudes, the mind only touches the world. However, after playing dead and deliberately seeking to restore the country, Murong Bo, his son, somehow embarked on his old path of seclusion in Shaolin. Planning for 30 years, wasting most of my life. Finally, Conan dreamed of it. But in the end, I can still be swept away by the old man and turn my back. Alas, everything is "fate"
As sweeping monk himself said:
Bodhi tree is not a standing mirror.
Nothing can stir up dust.
