People in the world often say that a person who is not poisonous will not be a husband.
Many good men have mistakenly believed in this fallacy, so in order to achieve their goals, they often resort to unscrupulous means. Of course, many people have indeed achieved many of their goals by unscrupulous means, and they have also gained fame and fortune.
However, such a person with no character or virtue, no matter how successful he is, no matter how famous and wealthy he is, and cannot be ignored, he is still just a hypocritical scum. Throughout the ages, such people can be found everywhere, but they are often more successful than many decent gentlemen and are more able to cater to society.
Of course, being able to cater to most people, find your own foothold in the world, and achieve success requires great ability.
Mei Guanlie is such a person.
He had been low-key before, but that was only because he was self-aware and knew that he did not have the capital to be arrogant. Therefore, he rarely appeared in the martial arts world before. Instead, he only focused on practicing in the mountains and practicing his unique martial arts. Sure enough, his hard work paid off and he was finally able to master the Songyang Divine Sword.
Mei Guanlie was originally a capable person and also an ambitious person. It's just that my martial arts weren't strong enough before, so I had to keep a low profile as a talent. Therefore, including him and his disciples of the Songshan Sect, they had all kept a low profile before.
But now that he has mastered martial arts, his behavior and that of the Songshan Sect immediately changed. Mei Guanlie not only sent Songshan Sect disciples everywhere to connect various small sects in the world, but also gathered them all into the Songshan Sect. If anyone refuses to obey, get rid of them immediately. From this point of view, Leader Mei's methods are ruthless enough.
However, Mei Guanlie still has a worry, that is, although he is now a master of martial arts, the Songshan sect obviously does not have the strength to compete for the hegemony of the martial arts world. Don't compare with the four most powerful families now, even the traditional martial arts sects Shaolin and Wudang, they are completely incomparable.
Therefore, he came up with a plan and proposed to Master Wei Nian, the abbot of Shaolin, that he would merge the Shaolin sect and Songshan Bo into one sect and change it to Songshan Shaolin sect. In this way, when the Songshan and Shaolin sects unite, their natural strength will immediately increase a lot, and they will have the strength to compete with the four major families.
The Shaolin sect naturally disagreed, so he wanted to use force to merge the Songshan sect and the Shaolin sect. However, before that, he must first deal with a person, this person is a wild monk who is very close to the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Zen Master Xiu Ku.
Over there, Mei Guanlie asked Gui Er and many other Poisonous Gorge masters to pester Zen Master Xiu Ku, while he first sent people to deal with Master Faqing, the old monk of Fajue Temple.
Tang Zhong originally asked Baoya and Xiaohei to inquire about the news, but he did not expect that Mei Guanlie would start the operation in three groups. He first asked Gui Er to deal with Zen Master Xiu Ku, and at the same time asked his disciple Qing Qian to help secretly.
In addition, he also asked another group of people to deal with Master Faqing and his disciples who had no martial arts skills.
Previously, Tang Zhong had never expected that Mei Guanlie would do this. Because he always believed that since Mei Guanlie's goal was the master of suffering, he would just follow the master of suffering. It was possible, but I didn't expect that they did not focus on the master of suffering, but went from another side.
Tang Zhong and Xiao Hei quickly returned to Fajue Temple. Sure enough, at this time, Fajue Temple was empty and the building was in a mess. There was not even a single person in sight. Tang Zhong knew that he was careless, and he never thought that the Songshan Sect would take advantage of Zen Master Faqing.
While Tang Zhong was anxious, Master Xiu Ku had also rushed back. Tang Zhong saw that his face was troubled, and black blood was still bleeding from his lower abdomen. It seemed that he was injured.
"Master, are you injured?" Tang Zhong asked with concern.
"It's okay! It's not hurt at all, it's not a problem. It's just that I was poisoned, but I won't be able to recover for a while." Master Xiu Ku said.
"It's all my fault! I was careless!" Tang Zhong said angrily.
"I don't blame you! If the old monk hadn't gotten greedy, what happened today wouldn't have happened." Zen Master Xiu Ku blamed himself.
"Master, let's go back to Shaolin and discuss it with Master Abbot." Tang Zhong suggested.
"No, the old monk wants to go directly to the Songshan Sect. Mei Guanlie's target is me, so let the old monk do it alone!" Master Xiu Ku disagreed.
"No, Zen Master, you are injured now. If you go directly to the Songshan Sect, you will definitely be in danger. It is better to go to the Shaolin Temple first. With the help of Master Wei Nian and others, the matter will be able to be solved. Besides, the Songshan Sect has no way to deal with the Zen Master. The real goal is to go to the Shaolin Temple." Tang Zhong immediately objected to him going up the mountain alone.
Of course, Tang Zhong also understood what Zen Master Xiu Ku meant, which was that he thought he could handle the matter well and did not want the Shaolin Sect to participate. However, Tang Zhong concluded that Mei Guanlie would definitely break his trust. Even if Zen Master Xiu Ku agreed to his conditions, he would not necessarily let him, Master Faqing and others go.
Zen Master Xiu Ku is now seriously injured and has been poisoned, so naturally he cannot go there.
The two were in the middle of an argument, each holding their own opinions and neither seemed to agree with each other. At this time, outside Fajue Temple, a young monk suddenly came in: "Zen Master, Master Yang, I have invited you!"
Both Tang Zhong and Zen Master Xiu Ku knew this young monk, who was Baolin, a disciple of Master Wei Nian.
"Master Wei Nian already knows what's going on here?" Tang Zhong asked.
"I know! The Songshan Sect has sent a letter to my master, asking him and the Shaolin monks to go to Taishi Mountain on a certain date to discuss the merger of the two sects. The master is concerned about the safety of the two of them, so he specially sent a young monk to come to invite you." Baolin replied .
"Then let's go to Shaolin first!" Zen Master Xiu Ku heard that Master Wei Nian already knew about it, so he naturally agreed to go to Shaolin Temple first.
At this moment, Tang Zhong immediately understood Mei Guanlie's true intention.
On the one hand, Mei Guanlie asked Gui Er and others to use a trick to hurt Master Xiu Ku, so that he could not have strong combat power. Then, he captured the Fajue people from the Shaolin Outer Branch up the mountain, and then he could use this as a threat to bargain with Master Wei Nian.
Master Wei Nian and Zen Master Xiu Ku will take into account the dangers of Zen Master Faqing and others, and many conditions will not be favorable to continue to oppose them. This is of great benefit to the Mei Guan Liehe Sect.
It seems that Mei Guanlie has been brewing this plan for a long time, but he has never had the strength to challenge the Shaolin Temple before, so he did not act rashly.
If Mei Guanlie had mastered martial arts long ago, he would have attacked the Shaolin Temple after its defeat.
When Tang Zhong and Master Xiu Ku returned to the Shaolin Temple, they were naturally very upset, but now they had no choice but to think long term and try their best to find a safe solution.
