A few days later, it was morning at the Shaolin Temple in Shaoshi Mountain, and the sun was shining on the northeast corner of the Main Hall.
In the commotion, Xuanshan and Xuansheng led the Zhike monks to receive the martial arts figures who came to worship the mountain one after another, and arranged them in the seats that had been prepared in the square in front of the temple.
After learning the news from Jiangnan, Abbot Xuanci and the leader of the Discipline Academy, Xuanji, discussed with his brothers for several days. It was clear that the world would be about Qiao Feng's withdrawal from the Beggar Clan and Ye Erniang's affair with Xuanci. And unrest.
Therefore, Xuanji and others were not prepared to privately punish Xuanci, abolish the position of abbot, and let the Shaolin Temple be criticized behind the scenes. Instead, they decided to convene a martial arts conference and then conduct it in public to show the temple's rules and punishments, which are fair and just. .
Although the violation of the precepts by Xuanci who had been deposed as abbot and the violation of the precepts by Xuanci who was still the abbot were the same thing, the impact was different. Shaolin Temple's move is to show that it is not prepared to try to reduce or shirk responsibility for the crime.
In addition, Ye Erniang, a key witness, is currently in the hands of Qiao Feng and Zhiguang. We cannot rule out the possibility that someone will take the opportunity to attack Shaolin, and we must be prepared.
Knowing that Zhiguang and Qiao Feng were walking together, Xuanci couldn't help but feel suspicious. He felt that Qiao Fengfeng might have learned the identity of his leading brother from Zhiguang and retaliated against him, even taking advantage of the overwhelming trend of Shaolin. Return to the position of leader of the Beggar Clan.
In fact, for most martial arts figures, this martial arts conference, the confrontation between the former Beggar Clan leader and the abbot of Shaolin Temple, also represents the challenge of the Beggar Clan to the established No. 1 martial arts force in the Central Plains.
Each of these people likes to be active rather than quiet. Regarding a major event in the world that is likely to involve a showdown between masters, who wouldn't want to personally witness it and bow to it? So they all came in unison.
Including the powerful Duan family of Dali, the famous Murong family of Gusu, King Dalunming of Tubo, the "enemy of the King of Hell" Doctor Xue, the elder of the Beggar Clan... there are many who are quite famous.
Master Xuanjing, the first master of the Shaolin Zhike Academy, was a talented manager, and the temple had abundant products and abundant materials. The group of monks under the Xuanjing sect received the wealthy people, but they were not lacking in etiquette.
However, when Shaolin Temple masters such as Xuanci, Xuanji, and Xuansheng saw the arrival of many famous heroes, their hearts became increasingly heavy.
…
In a corner of the square in front of the temple, the haggard Murong Fu looked at the thin gray-robed monk in front of him and asked: "Senior is an old friend of our ancestors of the Murong family. I wonder if you have any advice for today's martial arts event?"
The gray-robed monk looked at him deeply and said: "Who has achieved great success in ancient times, who has not gone through countless hardships? The emperor of the Han Dynasty suffered from Bai Deng's hardship, and Han Guangwu suffered from the misfortune of Northern Hebei... Facing the setbacks in front of him , we must not lose the perseverance to continue working hard.”
"Even if you lose to Qiao Feng and are despised by others, the Beggar Clan Kung Fu he practices will eventually have its limits. Even if he practices it to the highest level, it will still be far inferior to the peerless martial arts of your Longcheng ancestors. You will eventually fall into a dilemma that is difficult to break through. It allows you to catch up later.”
A tall man who looked like a wealthy businessman and gentry, wearing maroon robes, tall and tall, with big ears and a thick gray beard under his chin, nodded when he heard the words and agreed:
"Senior's words make sense. Mr. Murong once said that his martial arts at the age of thirty were far less advanced than those at the age of forty or fifty. This shows that your family's martial arts, Master, should be Take it step by step and accumulate more knowledge.”
After this burly man spoke up, another man in his fifties, wearing an iron-blue scholar's robe, and a middle-aged man wearing a khaki robe, with thin bones, slanted eyebrows and a sickly face, A man in black, who was thin, had two moustaches, and had a fierce look, also nodded together.
The four of them are, of course, the four great generals of the Murong clan in Gusu: Deng Baichuan, Gong Yeqian, Bao Bu Tong, and Feng Bo evil.
"Today, I will help the Murong family gain the reputation it deserves, but after this battle, I have to rely on you, the only member of the family, to support me..." The monk in gray seemed to be inspired to fight when he saw Murong Fu, and he took a photo Patting him on the shoulder, he continued to give instructions.
Beside the six of them, Abi was dressed in green. She did not listen to the monk in gray. Instead, she held a jade flute in her hand and played softly while looking for the figures of Zhao Qing, Wu Yazi and Su Xinghe. .
A'Zhu was wearing a dark gauze shirt, and his eyes were quick as he quickly scanned the figures of the heroes around him, looking for people just like A Bi.
Since she didn't know the target she wanted to search for, she found it very slowly. On the way, she even caught eyes with a girl in purple shirt who was fifteen or sixteen years old.
"Sister A'Zhu, I saw Miss Wang!" Suddenly, A Bi saw a girl wearing a lotus-colored gauze shirt. She couldn't help but stop playing the flute and exclaimed softly.
…
In another corner, Duan Yu was dressed as a scholar and kept looking at Wang Yuyan in the distance with an excited expression.
He never expected that he would be lucky enough to see the fairy sister who was his apprentice today. He was shocked and extremely excited.
Suddenly, Duan Yu stretched out his hand and pushed away Gu Ducheng and Hua Hegen who were standing nearby. He took small steps and squeezed through the crowd. He wanted to get in front of the beautiful woman and get closer to take a look at her beauty. And formally became her disciple.
Seeing his son inexplicably slipping away, with a Chinese-character face and a formidable expression, the middle-aged man in his forties or under fifty opened his eyes wide, but was unable to stop him.
Why does it look so similar to Qingluo? Duan Zhengchun looked towards the direction where Duan Yu was rushing, and also saw Wang Yuyan. His expression was startled, and his thoughts were fluctuating.
"Who are you? How come you know Lingbo Weibu?" Seeing a strange young man rushing towards her, Wang Yuyan was startled, and immediately used Lingbo Weibu and took two steps to the side.
"Sister Immortal, I...I miss you so much! Disciple Duan Yu pays homage to Master." After recognizing the opponent's Qinggong movement, Duan Yu no longer had any doubts in his heart. He believed that the opponent was the real person of the jade statue in Wuliang Cave. Regardless of the presence of many outsiders nearby, he shouted directly.
Hearing Duan Yu's random shouting, Wang Yuyan frowned slightly, took two steps back, and said with a wary face: "Duan Yu? You have mistaken the person... I think you have profound skills, could it be the Duan family of Dali?" His disciple? But how can he use the Qing Gong of our sect?"
Duan Yu Xindao's fairy sister didn't know about the fact that she had to pass on the magical skills, so she immediately explained:
"The young man's surname is Duan Guangrong. Although he is a descendant of the Duan family in Dali, he practices the magical skills of the Xiaoyao sect taught by his elder sister in the Wuliang Jade Cave. Although he has not mastered what he has learned, he is not yet able to carry out the orders left by his elder sister, but if there is any order , there is nothing you can do.”
Afraid that the other party would not believe him, Duan Yu leaned down and bowed several times with sincerity.
"Yu'er, you..." At this moment, Duan Zhengchun also followed Duan Yu's footsteps and squeezed through the crowd. When he saw his son paying homage to someone who seemed to be his daughter, he couldn't help but be stunned and stunned. on the spot.
A'Zhu, who was observing this scene from a distance, heard that he roughly confirmed the identities of Duan Yu and Duan Zhengchun. His heart was suddenly shocked. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to hold hands with A Bi who was approaching. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should Go and get to know each other.
The gray-robed monk who had just finished teaching Murong Fu seemed to have noticed A'Zhu's abnormal mood, and quickly thought of the news about A'Zhu's life experience that he had recently learned, and his eyes suddenly shone.
…
On the top of a pavilion near the square in front of the temple, a short girl in gray robe noticed this scene in the crowd, her eyes suddenly became sharp, exuding a frightening majesty.
After noticing Wang Yuyan's appearance and the Lingbo Weibu she and Duan Yu used, Child Elder immediately thought of her enemy Li Qiushui, and quickly made a judgment and confirmed that Wang Yuyan should be Li Qiushui's descendant.
Could it be the princess of Xixia Kingdom? The boy next to him seems to be the prince of Dali.
If Xixia and Dali formed an alliance, it would be a bit troublesome for that bitch Li Qiushui to unite with the experts from Tianlong Temple to fight against him.
Instinctively thinking of dealing with Li Qiushui, Child Elder's murderous intention flashed in her heart. Suddenly, she remembered that the master was nearby, and then turned around to look.
…
At the same time, in the back mountain where the Sutra Pavilion is located, Zhao Qing carefully observed a hole covered with ice crystals on the ground, thinking secretly in his heart.
During this time, she searched the Shaolin Temple for weapons left behind by previous masters, hoping to increase her reserves of golden energy.
Over the past hundreds of years, there have been many Shaolin masters who have practiced the art of weaponry. There are also hundreds of weapons such as the magic wand and the magic pestle left behind. However, it is a pity that most of the weapons are made of ordinary materials. The pieces can reach the level of Black Iron and Cold Iron.
Zhao Qing was lucky enough to find seven weapons containing the energy of gold. The previous owners were all the creators of one of the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin.
Of the Shaolin martial arts created by Bodhidharma himself, only about 40 are now included in the "Seventy-Two Special Skills". The remaining more than 20 were all created by Shaolin monks over hundreds of years, such as the "Maha Finger" "Demon Subduing Palm" and other entry-level martial arts such as Arhat Fist and Skanda Palm created by Bodhidharma have been pushed out of the ranks of stunts.
The martial arts of those masters who can create one of the "Seventy-two Special Skills" are not at the level of Jiumozhi or Murong Bo. The weapons they left behind, although made of ordinary materials, can still contain a small amount of gold. The spirit of movement.
These seven weapons have a total of eleven rays of golden energy, which is also a good harvest.
In addition, after spending more than ten days of work, Zhao Qing has mastered the five "Relief from Troubles Seal" a lot, and partially integrated it into the "Ice Soul Cold Light" and other unique moves, improving some of its power.
Thinking about the changes after the improvement of "Ice Soul Cold Light", she calculated the time when the Shaolin Temple Conference would be officially held, and walked towards the Main Hall a few miles away.
…
A moment later, four key figures walked into the gate of the Shaolin Temple. They were Qiao Feng, Zhiguang, Ye Erniang, and a masked man in black.
When Qiao Feng was a boy, he had been living in the Yang of Shaoshi Mountain. He was quite familiar with the surrounding scenery, but he had never entered the Shaolin Temple. At this time, he participated in the denunciation and questioning of Abbot Xuanci, and it was the first time he had entered the temple.
Seeing the main hall beyond Li Xu from a distance, Qiao Feng glanced at his biological father, whom he met for the first time yesterday, took a breath, and said loudly: "Abbot Xuanci, Qiao Feng has two important things to do when he visits the mountain this time. Please ask the abbot to answer truthfully."
"First, in Yanmenguan Blood Eucalyptus thirty years ago, were you the 'leading brother' who led the group and killed my mother? Second, more than twenty years ago, did you and Ye Erniang have an affair with each other? Love and gave birth to a child?"
These few sentences were transmitted with abundant internal force, and could be heard for miles. The words were clearly distinguishable, and the noisy crowd in the square in front of the temple suddenly fell silent.
Qiao Feng originally had a good impression of Abbot Xuanci, but when he just returned home yesterday, he saw Xiao Yuanshan who was guarding the door in advance. They recognized each other and confirmed the whole story. He knew that Xuanci was the one who committed the crime. The murderer of the bloody eucalyptus outside Yanmen Pass.
In this case, although he had some goodwill toward the Shaolin Temple because of Xuan Ku, Qiao Feng still made the decision to work with Xiao Yuan Shan to make Xuan Ci pay the price he deserved for his hypocrisy and violation of the precepts.
At the entrance of the Main Hall, a tall and thin old monk walked out slowly first. He walked about ten feet, and seventeen monks filed out behind him. The eighteen monks all clasped their hands together, bowed their heads and recited silently, with solemn expressions.
】
The leading old monk was none other than the abbot Xuanci of Shaolin Temple. He endured the piercing eyes and related verbal attacks from the surrounding heroes, and said calmly: "These two things are indeed true. Today's Shaoshi Mountain Conference, Lao Na I’m getting ready to admit it in public.”
"Almsgiver Xiao, I made these two big mistakes in the past. I repented day and night and was willing to die. Wait until I am punished by the Shaolin commandments, and then you can come over and slap me to death!"
Being able to achieve the position of abbot of Shaolin, Xuanci naturally has good judgment. He understands that denying Ye Erniang's matter will only lead to more serious consequences. Only by admitting it in public and accepting the precepts calmly and going to death can this matter be harmful to the Shaolin Temple. The impact is minimized.
In his opinion, after Senior Brother Xuancheng lost all his martial arts skills, he became the top talent of his generation in Shaolin Temple, so he had to take over the important task of abbot. He did not attach as much importance to the position of abbot as outsiders imagined.
However, I couldn't control it for a moment. After committing the great precept, as the abbot, once the matter was leaked, it would cause a huge blow to the reputation of Shaolin Temple, causing it to lose its status as the leader of the martial arts in the Central Plains and destroying dozens of generations of ancestors and eminent monks. Come construction.
Such a result is completely unacceptable to Xuanci.
After his son was born, Xuanci, who had little relevant experience, suddenly discovered that he might be able to have a tryst with Ye Erniang without telling the monks, but he would have to raise a newborn baby, which would be very difficult.
Moreover, as children grow up, they may leak things out at any time.
After anticipating this, Xuanci decisively made a choice between Ye Erniang and the position of abbot and the decades-long relationship between brothers. He wanted her to leave quickly with her children and live far away from Shaoshi Mountain. .
After that, Xiao Yuanshan took the baby away and placed it in the vegetable garden of the Shaolin Temple. He asked the Shaolin monks to raise him and teach him martial arts, just like Qiao Feng's situation.
Ye Erniang lost her child and begged Xuanci to help find her, but Xuanci was worried that the matter would be leaked, so he took some martial arts secret books to coax her, saying that he could search for her in the world after practicing martial arts well.
Of course, practicing martial arts would help Ye Erniang find the child alone. Xuanci knew it in her heart, but it was almost impossible. She felt that after realizing this, she might turn around and hate him at any time. Himself, expose the relationship between the two.
Therefore, even if Ye Erniang is doing evil outside, he is worried that it will irritate the other party and make her reveal her personal affairs, so he will not interfere at all, and even intentionally or unintentionally transfers the Shaolin masters away from her area, just thinking of maintaining the current situation. state.
In fact, Xuanci had the idea of killing Ye Erniang outright several times, but he could not bear it.
There is a word for "compassion" in his dharma title, and he does have some compassion, just like he didn't kill Qiao Feng when he was a baby.
However, at this time, it is unknown whether Xuanci is really repenting or regretting his past "mercy" for not sparing the lives of Qiao Feng and Ye Erniang.
Under the gaze of thousands of onlookers, Qiao Feng and his party walked from the front hall to the square. Among them, the masked man in black suddenly snorted coldly, took off his mask, and revealed a picture with Qiao Feng. Similar faces come.
"Xuanci! I can't tell, but you still have some courage and dare to admit these things." Xiao Yuanshan sneered several times and said.
