"Wonderful, the three great Shaolin monks and Emei Miejie Shitai are here to see if your Wudang can still be tough!"
Many people present were overjoyed.
There is a saying in the martial arts: "Shaolin divine monks, knowledge and wisdom." This refers to the four monks with the highest martial arts skills among the "Kong" generation in Shaolin. Among them, Master Kongjian is said to have lost his life to the "Golden Retriever Lion King" Xie Xunquan. Later, the Shaolin lay disciple Du Dajin was killed, and the murderer was suspected to be Zhang Cuishan, the Five Heroes of Wudang. Now that the other three great monks have arrived in Wudang, it can be imagined that they are coming with bad intentions.
Although Master Miejie is a woman, she is one of the few masters among the innate masters in the world. She is the most hateful person, especially those in the Demon Sect. Her two-character nickname "Extermination" was chosen to express her determination to eradicate the demon cult's demons.
Although everyone had vaguely heard that Yin Liting, the Six Heroes of Wudang, was engaged to Ji Xiaofu, the beloved disciple of Master Miejie, they all thought that given such a major event, Master Miejie would never abandon his official career for personal reasons.
Hearing that it was the Shaolin and Emei masters who were both here, Zhang Sanfeng stood up and looked into the sky, holding his hands in the air. Luck sent his voice far away: "The old Taoist has lived a hundred years in vain, and is old and virtuous. How dare you labor to destroy the master wife and the three of them?" Is the sacred monk Yi Zun?"
After that, he personally led six disciples except Zhang Cuishan to greet him.
The reason why he treated Shaolin and Emei with courtesy was that the former was because of his close relationship with Shaolin, Master Jue Yuan, and the latter was because of his friendship with the heroine Guo Xiang and the friendship between the juniors Yin Liting and Ji Xiaofu. Marriage.
Their master and apprentice had just left the gate of Zixiao Palace. The three great Shaolin monks led nine monks, and the Emei Master Jiejie led eight female disciples and came to the front of Zixiao Palace together.
The two parties had finished greeting each other and returned to Zixiao Palace to sit down together.
Abbot Kongwen and Master Jiejie both ordered their accompanying disciples to offer birthday gifts.
The Shaolin sect's birthday gift was similar to that of the previous congratulations. It was just a few birthday peaches and longevity noodles. It looked like they were purchased temporarily in the market town at the foot of the mountain. It was really perfunctory.
On the other hand, the Emei Sect was very considerate and sincere in their etiquette. They not only prepared sixteen-color precious jades, but also a bright red brocade Taoist robe with a hundred different Chinese characters for "longevity" embroidered with gold thread.
Master Jingxuan, a major disciple of the Emei Sect, explained that this hundred-year-old robe was cut and embroidered by the female disciples of the Emei Sect. The word "longevity", which was the biggest and most time-consuming, was embroidered by Ji Xiaofu herself.
Zhang Sanfeng was overjoyed and said with a smile: "The Emei heroine is famous all over the world for her boxing and sword kung fu. It is rare that she can hold an embroidery needle to embroider this birthday robe for the old Taoist. This kid Xiaofu, this kid is really good, but he is an old Taoist." Blessed are the six disciples."
He paused for a moment while speaking, but when he looked at Ji Xiaofu, he saw that she was restrained, her demeanor was calm, her cultivation had clearly reached the innate realm, and her achievements were probably even greater than those of his three young disciples. , already comparable to Yu Daiyan and Zhang Songxi, only slightly inferior to Song Yuanqiao and Yu Lianzhou.
Others didn't know that he could see through Ji Xiaofu's martial arts skills at a glance, and thought he was making fun of an unmarried couple.
Ji Xiaofu blushed with embarrassment, and when she glanced at Yin Liting opposite her, she saw that his face was even redder than hers, and he buried his head in his chest, not even daring to look at her.
She was immediately amused, and she forgot about her shyness, and the corners of her mouth slightly turned up into a smile.
Song Yuanqiao wanted the Taoist boy to go to the kitchen to deliver vegetarian meals to entertain the Shaolin and Emei families, but both parties said they had already eaten at the foot of the mountain and there was no need to bother.
The chief escorts of the three escort agencies of Huju, Jinyang, and Yanyun on the side realized that the time was ripe. They exchanged glances with each other, stood up together, and raised their hands to Zhang Sanfeng, who was sitting in the seat. Yunhe said:
"Master Zhang, the three of us are here in Wudang. One is to wish you a happy birthday, and the other is to hear that Zhang Cuishan, one of the Five Heroes of the Order, has returned. In the past, dozens of people from the Longmen Escort Bureau lost their lives in vain, and this unsolved case has not yet been solved. End. The juniors are bold and want to ask Zhang Wuxia to show up and clarify the whole story in front of all the friends here."
Zhang Sanfeng looked around, took a look at the faces of everyone in the audience, and said with a smile: "There are indeed many grievances and hidden secrets about what happened back then. Fortunately, after the villain Cuishan returned, he informed the old Taoist about the matter in detail. Taking advantage of the presence of many friends, , just explain it clearly. Cuishan, Susu, please come out!"
Not long after, Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu came out from behind side by side and greeted everyone in the seat together.
Yin Susu spoke before her husband: "Everyone, the little girl Yin Susu used to be paid two thousand taels of gold to ask Du Dajin, the head dart of the Longmen Escort Bureau, to escort Yu Daiyan, the three heroes of Wudang who was ill, back. Wudang made a three-part agreement with him in advance. Firstly, Du Dajin must personally escort him. Secondly, he must rush day and night to arrive within ten days. Thirdly, if there is even half a difference, all the lives of the Longmen Escort Bureau will be used to make up for it."
She is easy to talk and speaks fluently. General Du Dajin was unfaithful after taking over the escort, which resulted in Yu Daiyan being killed by a traitor. She disguised herself as a man and slaughtered the Longmen escort agency, but was mistakenly identified as Zhang Cuishan by the surviving Shaolin disciples. In order to help Zhang Cuishan, who was besieged and entangled by Shaolin disciples, release poisonous needles to kill and injure several people, the causes and consequences of each incident are clearly explained.
During this period, she admitted frankly that she had committed the murder, but she also pointed out Du Dajin's greed for money and the Shaolin disciples' inability to distinguish right from wrong. She made the three great Shaolin monks look ugly and kept chanting the Buddha's name in a low voice.
When Yin Susu stopped talking and returned to Zhang Cuishan, Kong Wen took a step forward, clasped his palms to Zhang Sanfeng and said: "Master Zhang, although Du Dajin is wrong in this matter, his crime is not worthy of death. His family members are even more innocent. Zhang Sanfeng Madam acted so cruelly and viciously, should Wudang give an explanation to the world?"
Zhang Cuishan cupped his hands and said: "Master Kongwen, my master had punished Zhuojing earlier and ordered her to recite sutras on Wudang Mountain and repent, and she will never leave Wudang for the rest of her life."
Kong Wen said with dismay: "Dozens of lives were taken, but the murderer was treated so lightly. It's hard to convince the world!"
Everyone present was also whispering to each other, with disapproval on their faces.
Zhang Cuishan looked ashamed and was about to say something else when he heard someone behind him laughing "hahaha" three times.
Everyone was attracted by the laughter and looked around, only to see that the one laughing was Song Qingshu standing next to Zhang Sanfeng.
Song Yuanqiao was greatly displeased, and just when he was about to scold him, Zhang Wuji, who was standing with Song Qingshu, spoke first and asked with an innocent look on his face: "Senior Brother Qingshu, why are you laughing?"
Song Qingshu saw hundreds of pairs of eyes in the hall staring at him. Even though his moral cultivation was far beyond that of a boy of the same age, he couldn't help but beat his heart. However, he thought that he had patted his chest and promised to Taoist Hu Yun that he would do a good job in this matter. After all, he would do it. His heart calmed down, and he said proudly with a look on the crowd: "Junior brother Wuji, the reason why senior brother is laughing is because he is laughing at Shaolin Abbot Kong Wen, Master Kong Wen, who sees things unclearly and treats things unfairly!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked.
Kong Wen, the person involved, was neither anxious nor angry, and said in a deep voice: "I wonder what I call this young hero? How can I judge him like this?"
Song Qingshu first raised his hands and saluted Kong Wen, and then said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Song Qingshu, the Song Daxia who is the leader of the Seven Heroes of Wudang is my father. If you want to say whether what you just said is well-founded, I only want to ask the master, but you still remember the Northern Song Dynasty. The two ancients Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo?"
"I seem to have heard about it, but I don't know the details about him or her."
Kong Wen's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm.
"The boy was lucky enough to hear their story from an elder."
Song Qingshu immediately started talking, briefly talking about the past events of that year, and finally asked Kongwen,
"One of these two people had a distorted nature due to hatred, and the other was ambitious due to selfish desires. Both of them were riddled with murders and their hands were bloody. In the end, they were enlightened by the eminent Shaolin monks, shook hands and made peace, and converted to Buddhism. This is why the world said that Shaolin harbors evildoers. , hides dirt and evil, or do you say that Shaolin Buddhism is boundless and its merits are immeasurable?"
Kong Wen was speechless and silent.
Song Qingshu saw that the other party was poor in words, so he sent Shangyong to pursue the poor bandits, and then raised his voice and slowed down: "If Master Kongwen thinks that these two people are not enough to teach you, this junior also knows the story of Ye Erniang, who does all evil things."
"Young hero, there is no need to say any more!" Kong Wen cut off his words and said resolutely, "Mrs. Zhang has acknowledged her past mistakes and sincerely repented. It is most appropriate for Master Zhang to deal with her this way. I, Shaolin, have no objection to this. The matter of Longmen Escort Agency has been revealed. Pass!"
