"Huo Yunqi was taken away by Lingwu?"
Lu Hanjiang was a little surprised when he heard the news from Jinyiwei. He had also met this famous monk once. The night when Qian Xiaoxiao completely gave up his fantasy, this old monk was on the right side of the path.
Lu Hanjiang didn't have much impression of Monk Lingwu. This man was similar in age to Shang Yangzi, the former Wudang Grand Elder, but his martial arts skills were on a par with him, and there was really nothing to draw attention to.
However, when Kuai Baihu heard about this, he was quite concerned and said: "Sir, although Monk Lingwu has no obvious martial arts skills, he is not a simple figure like a gangster."
"Oh?" Lu Hanjiang became interested and asked, "Is there something special about this person?"
Kuai Baihu nodded and said: "Sir, Monk Lingwu is not very skilled in martial arts, but his background is extraordinary. He is a direct disciple of the previous generation of Shaolin abbot, and he is also the successor of a single lineage."
"Abbot of the previous generation of Shaolin?" Lu Hanjiang tried hard to recall the glory of Shaolin and found that there was nothing worth paying attention to.
This is indeed the case. There are endless heroes in the world. Unless they are those earth-shattering big shots, most people will probably not remember anything except their own family members after thirty or fifty years.
For example, few people knew about the once-famous Wudang master Qi Yunzi, and few people knew about his master. Similarly, for the now powerful Abbot Lingxu in the martial arts world, almost no one knew about his master's name and achievements.
Even if it is as strong as Shaolin Wudang, it is impossible for generations of leaders to be great talents in the world. The leaders of major sects are often held by mediocre people.
However, the mediocrity of these people is relative to the ancestors of the same sect. Compared with other figures in the world at the same time, it is naturally not too far behind.
So when Kuai Baihu suddenly mentioned something about the previous Shaolin abbot, Lu Hanjiang had no memory at all.
However, the other party's words made him discover an interesting point. Lu Hanjiang asked with interest: "Wait a minute, you said that Monk Lingwu is the sole descendant of the previous Northern Shaolin Abbot. In other words, the current Abbot Lingxu is not A disciple of the previous abbot?"
Although the power of Jianghu is not as clear as that of aristocratic families, with a clear eldest son succession system, there are also priorities among Jianghu sects.
For example, in the Wudang Sect, Qi Yunzi's master's lineage is the leader, and when it comes to Qi Yunzi's Shang Yangzi's generation, he is the leader.
The seven Wudang disciples who studied under Qi Yunzi are not actually the seven with the highest martial arts skills among them. Shang Yangzi also has direct disciples left, and their martial arts skills are not inferior to these seven. However, when choosing the next leader, Wudang will only follow from Among these seven people, this is the difference between priority and inferiority.
Similarly, the Shaolin sect, which is as famous as Wudang, has almost similar rules. Although they are not written down in writing, they are actually included in the inheritance choices of the past generations.
If Monk Lingwu is really a direct descendant of the previous abbot, then the support he can get will be overwhelmingly superior to the current Abbot Lingxu.
This is not an underestimation of Abbot Lingxu's ability, but the foundation of Shaolin's main lineage inheritance is here. Under normal circumstances, the difficulty for outsiders to rise to the top is infinitely close to zero.
Unless Monk Lingwu loses his temper, or something happens in Shaolin, this kind of thing is generally unlikely to happen.
As Lu Hanjiang expected, he only heard Kuai Baihu explain: "Abbot Lingxu is indeed not the direct descendant of the previous generation of abbot. It is said that after Abbot Juefa passed away, Monk Lingwu voluntarily gave up his position as abbot. Only then did Monk Lingxu Successfully ascended the throne.”
Jue Fa was the Shaolin abbot of the previous generation. Lu Hanjiang asked curiously: "When Jue Fa passed away, something happened in Shaolin, right?"
"My lord knows things like a god."
Kuai Baihu said hurriedly: "Back then, Master Xuantian's magical power went south to threaten the righteous way. Northern Shaolin was the first to bear the brunt. It is said that Juefa died in the hands of Master Xuantian."
"Is there such a thing?" Lu Hanjiang was stunned for a moment, and then he felt something was wrong. He said in confusion: "That's not right. If even Abbot Juefa died at the hands of Xuantian Cult Master, how could Northern Shaolin To be alone?"
"Perhaps this is due to the lack of successors of the Xuantian Sect." Kuai Baihu smiled awkwardly. He was actually not much older than Lu Hanjiang. When the Xuantian Sect swept away the righteous path, he was just a young boy. How could he possibly know this? How detailed.
Kuai Baihu was probably just chatting with him, but Lu Hanjiang was interested in this spiritual monk, but he didn't do anything surprising at the moment, so he hadn't caught his eye yet.
After all, at this moment, the Thousand-faced Dharma King who was causing trouble in front of him was the first person to deal with.
Lu Hanjiang temporarily revealed the matter between Huo Yunqi and Lingwu, and then asked: "What has the Thousand-faced Dharma King done recently?"
The destruction of the Huo family did attract Lu Hanjiang's attention. This matter was indeed the fault of the Jin Yiwei. Before the King of Thousand Faces took action, they did not receive any news at all.
This time it was indeed Jin Yiwei who underestimated Gongsun Huan.
Although Lu Hanjiang didn't care about the life and death of a group of Jianghu people, their life and death should not be decided at will by the Thousand-faced Dharma King, especially under the eyes of Jin Yiwei. His actions were more like a slap in the face than a provocation.
Sensing the change in Lu Hanjiang's mood, Kuai Baihu quickly said seriously: "Returning to your lord, the Thousand-faced Dharma King has restrained himself recently. It seems that it is because of the intervention of the Shangguan family."
Lu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly realized that if Kuai Baihu hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten that Shangguan Beicang was involved in this matter. Although it was caused by accident, Thousand-faced Dharma King almost killed him It is also true for Shangguan Young Master.
"So, Wen Chenyang's injury has recovered?" Lu Hanjiang asked.
Kuai Baihu said with shame: "My martial arts skills are low, so I really can't tell the depth of this person. However, Wen Chenyang easily killed more than ten masters under Thousand-faced Dharma King. I think there should be no serious problems."
Lu Hanjiang touched his chin and said with some regret: "He didn't immediately go to Tianquan to trouble him."
After thinking about what happened that day, one can suspect Tianquan and Yue Lifeng. Now he doesn't show his face at all, and Tianquan is staying in the city openly. This person can really bear it.
However, Lu Hanjiang accidentally helped Tianquan in this matter. Although Wen Chenyang guessed who the murderer was that day, he did not take action immediately.
The reason was that Lu Hanjiang, the disciple of Xiaoyao Sect who suddenly disappeared, was worried that Wen Chenyang would lure him into a trap and set a trap, so the more alone Tianquan was and the more defenseless he was, the less he dared to take action.
Although Wen Chenyang was hesitant, he didn't do nothing. The experts from the Shangguan family had already rushed from Jiangnan at a very fast speed after he flew to the book. They couldn't deal with Tianquan and Yue Lifeng. He will not let go of the Thousand-faced Dharma King who dances most joyfully.
