Chapter 25: Work together; talent and diligence are equally important!
The night was dark.

The candlelight flickered and smoke curled up in the hall.

All the elders of Shaolin Temple rushed here after receiving the message from Abbot Sanzang.

Abbot Sanzang was standing in front of the hall. When he saw all the elders had arrived, he waved his hand and told everyone to sit down as they pleased.

It is worth mentioning that Abbot Sanzang also asked someone to call Wang Dianzuo over.

After all, accepting and settling the refugees was almost entirely done by Wang Dianzu himself.

He certainly understands the current situation best.

With his participation, everyone can feel the current situation more intuitively.

Seeing everyone sitting down, Abbot Sanzang first glanced at Wang Dianzuo, then swept his eyes over everyone and said:
"Today, Wang Dianzu came here and told me about the hidden dangers that taking in refugees would bring to Shaolin."

"Right now, the biggest problem is still the lack of food."

"You don't have to worry about this. I will go and collect food myself in a few days."

"Right now, how to properly deal with these refugees and not cause trouble to the temple is the real problem. I have summoned all the elders here tonight to discuss this matter together."

At this point, Abbot Sanzang paused:
"I wonder if the elders have any good ideas?"

After asking.

Elder Xuanfeng, Elder Wendao, Elder Longchuan and others lowered their heads and frowned, as if they were in deep thought.

After a while, Elder Wen Dao spoke first:

"Abbot Sanzang, taking in refugees is something that Shaolin cannot do. We should inform the government and let them help handle it."

As soon as these words came out.

Elder Longchuan just shook his head:

"The government can't even take care of the people in the city, so how can they care about these refugees?"

Some time ago, in order to find out the origins of the Black Fox Gang, he traveled across most of the Central Plains.

What you see and feel undoubtedly speaks for itself.

"That……"

Hearing this, Elder Wen Dao didn't know how to respond.

The words were like being blocked in my mouth.

I couldn't think of any words to refute.

Elder Xuanfeng pondered for a few breaths and gave a suggestion:

"I think that our Shaolin has been helping these refugees, but it is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. We should let them work on their own."

"As far as I know, there are still some wastelands in some villages at the foot of the mountain. If the refugees are willing to stay here, they can go down the mountain and cultivate the land."

"That's a good idea."

Abbot Sanzang nodded, which was rare for him.

Elder Wen Dao took the opportunity to say:

"We need to find something for these refugees to do, and they can't just eat for free."

"The medicinal fields in the back mountain still need someone to take care of them."

"Besides, they need to change their clothes. They are dirty and smelly. They are also sick. If we don't solve this problem, malaria may breed and people may die."

At this moment, Wang Dianzuo seemed to remember something and said:
"The temple is running out of blankets and sheets. I'm afraid I'll have to go down the mountain to buy some tomorrow."

"If we add the clothes that Elder Wen Dao mentioned, the money we'll have to spend will be quite a lot..."

When saying this, Wang Dianzuo inadvertently glanced at Abbot Sanzang, wanting to see how he reacted.

But Abbot Sanzang remained calm and looked normal.

I don't feel any pain at all for spending money on these refugees.

Elder Longchuan pondered for a moment, and an idea came to his mind. He said bluntly:
"The refugees can just wash the clothes they can wear themselves. If they really don't have anything to wear, the temple can spend money to buy cloth and hire someone to mend them."

"There are many women among these refugees. They may be able to sew, which can save us some money."

"Also, Shaolin can collect unwanted clothes from the villagers in several villages at the foot of the mountain and give them to the refugees. Of course, we can also recruit some temporary workers who can do odd jobs. We just need to pay them some wages."

“Working together can always solve problems.”

Say it.

Abbot Sanzang thought about it for a while and agreed:
"The method Elder Longchuan suggested is good." "It's worth a try!"

"I'll leave this matter to you."

"Okay, Abbot Sanzang."

Elder Longchuan agreed.

This task is not difficult, it just requires more talking to the villagers.

Facing the questions raised by the elders, Abbot Sanzang thought carefully for a while, and then gave instructions one by one:

"Elder Xuanfeng, lead the monks of the Arhat Hall to build more sheds tomorrow. After a while, when the imperial court recovers, our Shaolin Temple will not be under such great pressure."

"Elder Wen Dao, please send a disciple to Fulong Temple tonight and ask Fulong Temple to send some medical monks to support our Shaolin."

"Elder Zhao Zhen..."

Upon hearing Abbot Sanzang's arrangement, the elders had no objection and agreed immediately.

After things were settled, everyone dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.

Not long after the elders left the abbot's residence, an old monk with a white beard suddenly entered the hall and said to him:
"Abbot Sanzang, the child chose three martial arts today: 'Big Stone Smashing Hand', 'Prajna Zen Palm', and 'Nine Diagrams and Six Sitting Statue Body Techniques'."

Upon hearing this for the first time, Abbot Sanzang thought it was normal.

But after thinking about it, he realized what he had missed, and asked:
"Didn't Lin Xuan choose any weapons, swords, or other techniques?"

"not at all."

The white-bearded old monk shook his head and added:
"He hasn't even looked at this kind of technique."

There are many weapons-related skills in the Shaolin Temple.

There are also many who have become famous.

The elder guarding the pavilion was curious why Lin Xuan did not choose any martial arts related to this?
Seeing the confusion of the elder guarding the pavilion, Abbot Sanzang did not find Lin Xuan's behavior strange, but understood it very well:
"My disciple has his own ideas. He doesn't need to practice these for the time being."

I wanted to let the elder guarding the pavilion go back, but Abbot Sanzang changed his mind and warned him:

"During these days, the Sutra Library needs to be more closely guarded. There are always criminals who disguise themselves as refugees and take the opportunity to sneak into Shaolin and steal martial arts."

"Especially the one..."

When it comes to this, the elder guarding the pavilion looked serious:
"Don't worry, Abbot Sanzang. That book is there, and only you can open it."

……

……

Silent all night.

The next day, before dawn.

Lin Xuan woke up, and in order not to disturb everyone else's sleep, he could only tiptoe out of the house.

After a quick wash, Lin Xuan went to his old place in the back mountain to meditate and practice, refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

This room.

About half an hour later, Zhang Dong, Xie Dong and others woke up from their drowsy sleep.

After Zhang Dong got up, he wanted to call Lin Xuan to have breakfast together, but when he turned around, he found that there was no one on his bed.

"Brother Lin, how early did you get up?"

Xie Dong rubbed his sleepy eyes and was stunned when he saw that there was no one on Lin Xuan's bed.

He was somewhat reluctant to get up at this time.

As a result, compared with others, I am simply a lazy person.

"Not only is he more talented than others, he is also so diligent in his practice. No wonder Senior Brother Lin is so valued by the abbot!"

Zhang Dong, Xie Dong and others looked at each other at the same time.

Suddenly I realized that becoming a disciple of the Shaolin abbot is not just a matter of luck!
Talent and diligence are equally important!
