Chapter 16: Going up the mountain is still afraid of what will happen when you go down. If you advance, you will be a hero, but if you retreat, you will be a hero.
In the Shaolin Temple, a group of heroes saw these three people coming down the mountain and hurriedly wanted to leave. Abbot Jueming of Shaolin persuaded them to stay, saying that he wanted to offer tea as a thank you. There were some clever people in the seat who had already seen that the abbot was deliberately delaying so that the three of them could go down the mountain. However, due to the shame of the Shaolin Temple, they did not know how to answer the question.
Head Zhao of the Huashan Sect came forward, clasped his fists and bowed, saying: "Thank you for the kindness of all the masters. The juniors and others should not have refused. It was only when heroes from all walks of life gathered at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain that these three people came down the mountain. Unknown to all the heroes, There are twists and turns, and it is inevitable that they will not be allowed to go down the mountain. The leaders of each sect are all staying here, and there is a leaderless group of dragons at the bottom of the mountain. I am afraid that there is a misunderstanding. Everyone has seen it, this Lingtu’s martial arts are unpredictable, and the Kongtong sect The sword in Young Master Chu's hand is probably no match for him. If the three of them can't bear it for a moment, it will cause a big disaster. I won't leave now!" After saying this, the heroes stood up and left one after another.
The master abbot shouted the Buddha's name and said: "It's my fault that I was negligent. Let me see you all off!" In a short time, he led a group of monks, big and small, and sent them to the foot of Shaoshi Mountain.
Someone had already shouted, "Master Abbot is here!" Hearing this, the heroes stepped aside and everyone looked around to see Chu Jianghan sitting cross-legged on the ground, pressing the sword with his right hand and closing his eyes tightly.
Seven or eight big men were already lying on the ground. Seeing Master Abbot and the leaders of various sects arriving, someone suddenly booed in the crowd: "Master Abbot! This man surnamed Chu first killed Elder Wudang and Master Juehui of the noble sect, and now he collaborated with this red-handed spirit slaughterer in Shaoshi Mountain. The abbot is the master of the martial arts world, Beidou, please uphold justice for the martial arts world!"
After the Master Abbot chanted the Buddha's name, he said loudly: "Thanks to the heroes from all walks of life who have traveled thousands of miles to come to our Shaolin, I would like to thank you all on behalf of the monks of the He Temple!" After saying this, they bowed deeply. Seeing that the Master Abbot was highly virtuous and respected, the heroes also thanked you. He was so polite, I couldn't help but admire him secretly. Master Abbot said again: "Dear heroes, the murder of Senior Brother Juehui of our temple was really not caused by this Young Master Chu!"
Someone shouted loudly: "Master Abbot, don't make a mistake, lest you let the real culprit go! Now that most of the heroes in the world are here, they just worked together to take down these two thieves to comfort Master Juehui's spirit in heaven!" Everyone followed the voice! It looked like it was the White Tiger, the magic whip from outside Guan.
Master Abbot said again: "I dare to vouch for the reputation of Shaolin Temple for thousands of years. I am determined not to make a mistake. And there are experts from various sects who have testified that Young Master Chu is not the murderer! Please don't make it difficult for this hero from all walks of life." Young Master Chu, let them go down the mountain! I am very grateful."
As soon as Master Abbot said this, the heroes fell silent for a moment.
Another voice said: "Master Abbot is a virtuous eminent monk, so naturally he does not follow the common wisdom of younger generations. But it is a fact that Zhang, the surnamed Zhang, colluded with the devil Xuanyi Peacock of the White Lotus Sect. Now in front of the heroes of the world, in He committed murder at the foot of Shaolin Temple, the Holy Land of Martial Arts. He obviously did not take martial arts Taishan Beidou Shaolin Temple and the heroes of the world seriously. I want to ask everyone, are you willing to agree?" When everyone looked at it, it was Hua Yaozi.
Someone else cursed: "Bah! I think you want to use everyone's help to get rid of this guy named Zhang, and then go have fun with Xuanyi Peacock, right?"
There was another commotion in the crowd, and suddenly a burst of laughter was heard, and Zhang Ji stood up and said loudly: "You are just talking, but Hua Yaozi?"
Hua Yaozi jumped out with a movement technique at his feet. Several people in the crowd cheered, and the light skill he showed just now was indeed quite real.
I saw him say: "Yes, it's me, grandpa!" Then he held his head high and shouted loudly: "No matter how famous you are as the Red Hand Ling Tu, I don't believe you can do it in front of all the eminent monks of Shaolin Temple and the world's martial arts heroes. , you still dare to be so presumptuous? Ha...hahaha!"
"Shut up! Let me ask you: In order to get the Secret Book of Cold Sand Palm, ten years ago, I took advantage of the situation and sneaked into the house of the deputy leader of the Haisha Gang. The youngest son lit the sky lantern, but you?" The heroes sighed when they heard this, and Hua Yaozi was speechless for a moment.
Zhang Ji added: "You traveled around the world on your own, and you only believed in the practice method of harvesting yin and replenishing yang. How many good women have been ruined? If I keep you today, it will be unreasonable!"
While talking, he suddenly saw Hua Yaozi raise his hand and heard a few swishing sounds. Zhang Ji raised his hand to take it. It turned out to be a few poisonous needles. This Hua Yaozi has done all kinds of evil in the world. In addition to relying on his light skills, this is what he saw with his hands. The unique hidden weapon with a blood-sealed throat was broken by someone as soon as he raised his hand.
When Hua Yaozi failed to make a move, he knew something was wrong, so he ran away. He didn't get more than a foot away, but he saw Zhang Ji's left palm came out, turned it outward, and then retracted it. Hua Yaozi was pulled like a sparrow. Come back.
Zhang Jizhen said in a loud voice: "Hua Yaozi, when you were doing evil, did you ever think of today? You have repeatedly escaped the government's pursuit by relying on your Qinggong. If you meet me today, you will be ranked ninth." After saying this, With a palm on his vest, Hua Yaozi immediately collapsed.
The heroes all stepped back for a moment, each holding their swords in their hands, but no one dared to come forward.
Suddenly, Zhao, the leader of Huashan, drew his sword in his hand and stepped forward and said loudly: "My surname is Zhang, the masters of Shaolin Temple are compassionate and let your brother go down the mountain, but you are here to commit murder. Do you really think that there is no one in the martial arts world?" ? Don’t forget! This is already outside the Shaolin Temple. The abbot master and the eminent monks can’t get around you. The martial arts heroes in the world will not spare you!"
Zhang Ji smiled and said: "It's just a lie that the heroes of the world are thinking about my brother. Is it true that they are thinking about my brother's sword?"
Head Zhao sneered, then turned to salute Master Abbot and said: "Master Abbot, Master Juehui was not killed by these people, so the Shaolin Temple will not hold him accountable, but now these people are poisoning the martial arts here, how can the Shaolin Temple Can you just sit back and do nothing? Please ask Master Abbot to uphold justice!" Several more sect leaders echoed.
Zhang Ji shouted: "Of the nine people Zhang killed today, which one was not a criminal thief with a long history of evil?"
Abbot Jueming said: "I said before that if we don't embarrass these donors, how can we go back on our word without lying to the monks!" The implication is that the Shaolin Temple will not take action.
Head Zhao laughed three times and said: "Okay! Master Abbot has said before to keep them safe, but now they have already left the Shaolin Temple. If the world's heroes want to eliminate harm for the martial arts world, Master Abbot can't control it!"
After saying that, he stepped forward and was about to take action. The two Yin and Yang disciples of the Kunlun School jumped out from the crowd, and a few people from Wudang and Emei jumped out. There were a total of about ten masters, each breathing calmly, and they were all top-notch masters in the martial arts world.
Chu Jianghan couldn't help it, stood up and was about to draw his sword, but Zhang Ji stopped him with one hand and whispered in his ear: "My dear brother, you must not do anything. Everyone in the world is thinking about your sword. Everyone in the world is thinking about your sword." They all come to fight for it, does my dear brother really want to kill them all one by one?" Chu Jianghan's heart was shocked, and he slowly put his sword back into its sheath.
Suddenly, Chu Jianghan felt his shoulders sink and his feet lighten. When he looked back, he was lifted up by Zhang Ji, who grabbed his arm with one hand and dragged his crotch with the other. Before he could react, Zhang Ji gave a loud shout and was thrown a few feet away. When he looked back, he saw that Brother Zhang had already gone on a rampage, knocking over seven or eight people. In an instant, there were shouts of killing, and it turned into a mess.
Chu Jianghan took advantage of the situation and landed on a big tree. He drew his sword in his hand and was about to turn around to help, but a group of people rushed towards him. Zhang Ji jumped in front of them and blocked the group. The man turned around and said angrily: "Let's go!" Then he turned and rampaged again.
Chu Jianghan's heart was like a knife, and when he was undecided, he could only hear the swishing of the treetops under his feet, and something hit him at his feet. Chu Jianghan took the opportunity to jump up, and heard several swishing sounds, all of them coming towards him. Extremely powerful.
Chu Jianghan was furious and used Xumi Sanyin's movement technique to get out of the way. Suddenly he saw a figure behind the tree swaying, like a monk in robes. Chu Jianghan became even more angry: "You Shaolin Temple, please turn it over before you say anything." You are in trouble with my brother, and now you are sending someone to do some dirty tricks to see how I can deal with you!" He immediately used Qing Gong and chased after him.
After chasing him for about ten miles, Chu Jianghan chased him closer and closer, only a few feet away. He saw a person in front of him wearing a cassock and with a bare head, but he never looked back. He was about to catch up, but the visitor never slowed down, and he really couldn't go any faster. After walking for a while, the visitor stopped, and when he turned around, he felt that Master Tong.
Chu Jianghan knew he was powerful and had already drawn his sword in his hand, but Master Juetong smiled and said: "Young Master Chu, wait a moment! I'm not here to cause trouble." Then he asked again: "My Shaolin Sect's Xumi San "Yin', where did Young Master Chu learn it?" Chu Jianghan saw that he seemed to have no hostility, so he clasped his fists and said: "This junior is fortunate to be favored by an expert and pass on this set of kung fu. As for this senior, what's the matter? , juniors really can’t say that.”
Master Juetong smiled and said, "Young Master Chu doesn't know the name of this great monk, right?" Chu Jianghan remained silent, and Master Juetong said again, "He is senior brother Jueqing from this temple." Chu Jianghan My heart was shocked. It turned out that the person who taught me his unique skills was also an eminent monk from Shaolin. Just as he was about to ask again, Master Juetong said again: "This set of kung fu has only been practiced by a few people in our temple for hundreds of years. It is really commendable that you can learn it all. It's so good." So good!"
Master Juetong sat down on the ground and said, "Young Master Chu, do you know why I brought you here?" Chu Jianghan was also puzzled, so he bowed and asked. Master Juetong said: "Although Chu Shaoxia has no evil in his heart, he is still young and energetic, and possesses unique skills. He holds a sharp blade. If he uses his hands, he will never be as good as the layman Zhang. He can do good and evil with ease." It’s clear. If Young Master Chu starts killing people again today, I’m afraid the world will be even more uneasy!”
Chu Jianghan lowered his head and said nothing, and then said: "Master brought me here, but he harmed me! Now my sworn brother is still fighting on his own, I have to rush to help him!"
Master Juetong shook his head and said with a smile: "Zhang Yingxiong has great supernatural powers, and Shaoshi cannot be trapped in front of the mountain. Don't worry, Shaoxia Chu, I will keep you safe!" Chu Jianghan then thought about it and said slowly: "With the second brother's ability, it is really superfluous!" Master Juetong sighed: "Now that there is a storm in the world again, Young Master Chu, please listen to me!"
Hearing this, Chu Jianghan knelt down and knelt down, and said: "Master has given orders, and the younger generation should obey them!" Master Juetong helped him up and said slowly: "A few days ago, my old friend Wu Mingming came to Shaolin and told me, It is said that a Danyang swordsman has recently appeared in the world, and his character and martial arts are outstanding. I didn't believe it at first, but when I saw him today, Chu Shaoxia's cultivation level has long made it impossible for anyone to deal with him." Chu Jianghan's heart felt hot, and his face felt hot. reddish.
Master Juetong said again: "Young Master Chu, it is not easy for people in the martial arts to acquire shocking martial arts, but more importantly, they must have good intentions to punish the strong and support the weak, and never rely on martial arts to kill innocent people indiscriminately! You! Since you are a high disciple of Ziyang Zhenren of the Kongtong Sect, and you have received the Danyang Sword Technique from a Taoist Qing Dynasty, and the Xumi Sanyin from Master Jueqing, you have a peerless sword in your hand. From now on, when you walk in the world, you must have the common people in mind, and you must not take it lightly. Draw your sword!"
Chu Jianghan was speechless when he heard the words, and thought to himself: This master Juetong is indeed a virtuous monk. He always thinks of the common people and tells me to learn good deeds. I should keep this in mind. So he bowed and clasped his fists and said: "Young people should remember the master's teachings!" Master Juetong sighed again and said slowly: "All living beings have their own destiny, but the killing of Zhang Yingxiong was over."
Chu Jianghan hurriedly said: "My second brother has never been merciless towards the heinous people!" Master Juetong said the Buddha's name and said he was good.
Suddenly Chu Jianghan said: "Master, please show up and see me!" A man jumped out from behind, his hair and hair were gray and messy, and his clothes were in tatters, with patches everywhere, but they were also clean. He laughed and said: " Brother, are you okay?" It was Wu Mingming, the crazy beggar.
The crazy beggar said: "My old beggar just left the Shaolin Temple a few days ago. I heard on the way that all the sects were going to gather at the Shaolin Temple, so I followed all the way. Unexpectedly, I met a group of little beggars on the way and was delayed for a while. I, the old beggar, rushed to the foot of Shaoshi Mountain again, only to see a bustle. Hey! That junior is really awesome. Just when the old beggar was about to learn a lesson, he heard the bunch of descendants yelling about someone named Chu running away with a sword. Well, I thought it was better to be friends, so I competed for second place, so I followed him, but it turned out to be you two, hahaha!"
Chu Jianghan couldn't help but feel a little relieved when he saw this crazy beggar laughing and joking, as if he had already moved on from the incident of destroying the helm.
The crazy beggar jumped up and down and said, "How's it going? Monk Juetong, this guy is great. I was the one who taught this guy's swordsmanship, hahaha..." The two of them praised him again.
Without further explanation, the crazy beggar hurriedly said: "Since Brother Chu is fine, I, the old beggar, will go find my disciple and ask, maybe he can know." Only then did Chu Jianghan know that Li Dadu was the The apprentice of the mad beggar Mr. Wu, the mad beggar said goodbye to the two of them, and Chu Jianghan also said goodbye to Master Juetong.
Chu Jianghan took the road south and left the border of Henan in a few days.
Along the way, there was not much news about Zhang and Li. Chu Jianghan was hurrying along the way to pass through Zhejiang. On this day, he suddenly found someone following him behind him.
Chu Jianghan simply took his time and led the people following him into a forest. Suddenly he turned over, put his sword on the shoulder of the person who came, and shouted loudly: "Say! Who sent you here?"
The visitor was so frightened that he lost half his life. He trembled and said, "Sir, please forgive me! Please have mercy! I am Ren Youwei, an errand boy at Ren's house, and I was ordered to invite Uncle Chu to come over for a reunion. Just because I am a little boy." I have never seen Uncle Chu, and I was afraid of misunderstanding, so I took the liberty to follow you. Uncle Chu, have mercy! Uncle Chu, have mercy!" Chu Jianghan was half-convinced and asked, "Is my sworn brother around here?"
When the errand boy saw that Chu Jianghan had sheathed his weapon, he became bolder and complimented: "Our Master Ren has a garden nearby. I heard that Uncle Chu was nearby, so Master Ren ordered the younger ones to separate. Come find Uncle Chu, I’m lucky and you’ll find him first.”
Chu Jianghan was half-convinced and ordered someone to lead the way. After going around in circles, he came to a manor.
What happened? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
