After receiving the letter of challenge from Shangguan Jinhong, the people of Shaolin quickly responded.
A reply was soon sent down, and at noon tomorrow, the two sides would meet at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain to form an alliance.
Among the eminent monks of the Shaolin Xinzi generation, in addition to the Xinshu who had been killed by Zhao Mingyuan and the Xinshu who had been kidnapped by Li Xunhuan, the other Xinshu, who had been facing the wall and thinking about it because of the theft of scriptures many times, had to leave the confinement to fight for Shaolin. war.
Obviously, the Youth League didn't want the other party to have a master like Li Xunhuan.
Therefore, they simply cut off the news and sent out drinks and food as usual. It was better not to let Li Xunhuan know about it.
In fact, this choice is naturally wise.
It only took a heart tree to hold back Xiao Li's flying sword and Li Xunhuan. It was a good deal no matter how you calculated it.
Early the next morning, a group of lay disciples from the Shaolin Sect arrived at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain one after another.
At first, the heroes who came to attack didn't care.
After all, Shaolin has been passed down for so many years and is a Buddhist holy land. It is normal for some supporters or Buddhist believers to do so.
However, as time went by, more and more people came to support Shaolin, and everyone's expressions gradually changed.
Until Shaolin Abbot Xinhu came down the mountain with eight hundred Shaolin monks.
Abbot Xinhu shouted: "Jie Arhat Formation!"
Eight hundred monks responded: "Join the Arhat Formation!"
In an instant, red clothes flashed, gray shadows rolled, and the eight hundred monks spread out across the mountains and plains in clusters in the east and in groups in the west.
The heroes saw that the monks' clothes and hats were of different colors, some were red or gray, some were yellow or black; their weapons were also different, some were knives or swords, some were staffs or shovels, but everyone was running as fast as flying, and they were surrounded in an instant core.
The Shaolin monks are very regular. Teams of young monks hold Zen staffs and swords, and are guarding important places under the leadership of older monks.
But those Shaolin lay disciples who came to support formed a circle outside, and they suddenly became filled with murderous intent.
When Xinmei used five people to form an Arhat formation to deal with Zhao Mingyuan, it was an improper response.
The Arhat Formation is actually closer to a battle and should be regarded as a military combat formation. It was supposed to be used to deal with large scenes, where the enemy numbered at least hundreds or thousands of people, otherwise there would be no need to use it.
The heroes who came to attack Shaolin saw this situation, but they were no longer sure of victory.
For a moment, many people looked stunned.
Although their number is several times that of Shaolin's side, most of them are just unscrupulous people who can fight with ease. Now that they see that their opponents are not so easy to deal with, they have the intention of escaping.
Fortunately, the backbone of the heroes were many people from various sects and gangs, so they were able to stabilize the formation and did not collapse directly.
However, seeing that Shaolin has such strength now, many leaders and gang leaders also feel regretful.
After all, everyone is here to kill the Shaolin sect. If you beat the snake and don't die, I'm afraid you will suffer from it instead.
Once Shaolin is allowed to recover, with the strength of the Shaolin sect, any one of them will suffer a loss if they fight alone. Wouldn't it be worse then?
Immediately, all the heads looked at each other and communicated secretly.
They understand that those who are scattered in the world and are alone can still retreat. After all, there are too many people, and it is difficult for Shaolin to find trouble one by one. But these forces cannot escape Shaolin's accountability and revenge.
Then there is only one way to go until it is dark.
Only by completely crippling and beating Shaolin to death would they be able to live well. At the very least, Shaolin would have to be sealed off for decades.
Everyone was convinced and looked at Shangguan Jinhong.
After all, he is the current alliance leader, so he naturally has to take responsibility.
Many people are also secretly glad in their hearts. Fortunately, they have such an alliance leader and don't have to face the Shaolin Sect directly.
However, Shangguan Jinhong had already been mentally prepared, so naturally he would not be afraid. He had already made up his mind that this time it was necessary to severely inflict heavy damage on the Shaolin Sect.
At that moment, Shangguan Jinhong led everyone towards the Shaolin formation.
Seeing this, Shaolin Abbot Xinhu, surrounded by monks, came to Shangguan Jinhong.
The two sides confront each other.
Shangguan Jinhong came directly to Abbot Xinhu and said bluntly: "Abbot Xinhu must have known the reason why everyone gathered here this time. But I don't know where Xiao Li Tanhua is?"
Abbot Xinhu replied: "Everyone must have heard about this. I, Shaolin, have always provided Xiao Li Tanhua with good food and drink, and have not made it difficult for him."
Zhao Mingyuan said: "If that's the case, then why not let Xiao Li Tanhua show up? If the person involved is not here, then it's not up to you, Shaolin, to say anything about this matter?"
Xinzhu said angrily: "You, the devil who killed my beloved senior brother, still dare to come to my Shaolin? Why don't you kill me soon?"
"Junior brother!" Xinhu shouted to stop him.
Then, Xinhu simply told the truth. After all, everyone already knew about it. Anyway, the Shaolin Sect has failed this time, so it is not surprising that some minor things happened.
Xinhu said bluntly: "Donor Li Xunhuan kidnapped the poor monk's junior brother Xinshu and is now in a Zen room with my junior brother in Shaolin. It's because he refuses to come out, not because I, Shaolin, don't let him come out."
Zhao Mingyuan sneered and said: "I'm afraid you have blocked the news and prevented Xiao Li Tanhua from knowing about this, right?"
The Shaolin monks did not answer. However, everyone naturally understood.
However, the matter has developed into this situation after all. In fact, it is no longer crucial whether Li Xunhuan is here or not.
There will still be a fight after all.
The more the two sides talked, the more intense the words became. Especially the Shaolin monks felt even more angry.
For hundreds of years, no one has dared to besiege the Shaolin Sect like this, but this is a huge insult to Shaolin. But now, these people dare to be so arrogant in front of the Shaolin monks. Even the monks can't help but feel angry. Only blood can wash away such an insult.
Seeing that both sides are about to take action, a bloody battle is about to break out.
Suddenly, a person stood up and said, "Please come down and say some fair words about this matter."
This is a matter between Shaolin Temple and half of the world. Who is worthy of standing up and speaking out?
Who is so bold and so overconfident?
Everyone looked around and saw that it was a thin and short old man, but his eyes were bright and his nose was as tall as an eagle. People forget his short stature and can only feel a sense of incomparable courage.
Many young people are still curious about who this person is?
But many elderly people in the martial arts world recognized him. This was Pinghu Bai Xiaosheng, the person who appraised the weapons spectrum.
It was Bai Xiaosheng who compiled this weapon catalog and displayed the weapons of the world's heroes on it. No matter who is able to do this, it is definitely not easy.
Otherwise, who would believe his weapons record?
In fact, since Bai Xiaosheng dared to list weapons, he had naturally met almost everyone on the list.
Maybe I haven't touched it, but I have also explored it. With such ability, his own strength is definitely not low.
Moreover, with the addition of weapon records to his reputation, Bai Xiaosheng is indeed a first-class figure in the world now, and he is qualified to stand up and say something.
Shangguan Jinhong and Abbot Xinhu naturally had no objections, but were more curious about what Bai Xiaosheng would say.
After all, the current situation is only about profit and has nothing to do with justice. How else could he solve it?
Bai Xiaosheng naturally had no solution. But he proposed a new plan.
That means there will be no melee, but several masters from each side will engage in a battle. This can avoid too many sacrifices in a melee and the loss of lives.
When Bai Xiaosheng saw the faces of those who were attacking Shaolin, he understood that they were afraid that Shaolin would take revenge after surviving this disaster.
Then he continued: "Of course, we must also agree that Shaolin will never retaliate for any reason from now on.
Everyone who goes up the mountain this time can witness it together.
But there was a case of Shaolin's revenge, and the whole world was punished. Presumably, by then, the Shaolin Gate will really be destroyed. "
After hearing this, the gang leaders nodded slightly.
That's okay. There are many people on their side, and the experts seem to have an advantage. What's more, Shangguan Jinhong and Zhao Mingyuan, two masters of weapons, are here.
Although Shangguan Jinhong remained calm on his face, he was extremely angry in his heart. For him, the more people who died, the better, so he wanted to have a good fight.
Unexpectedly, before the war was about to begin, Bai Xiaosheng's words came to nothing.
Nowadays, going to war is no longer in the interests of these gang leaders.
After all, they are just a loose alliance. Even if Shangguan Jinhong is the leader, they must consider the common interests of everyone. If he cannot represent everyone's interests, then he will naturally no longer be the leader.
Shangguan Jinhong could only secretly hope that Shaolin would object.
This proposal is indeed not conducive to the Shaolin sect. After all, Shaolin is a slightly inferior top master.
However, if this method is not agreed to, then there will only be a fight between the two sides. By then, Shaolin's losses would be even greater.
Given the choice of the lesser of two evils, Abbot Xinhu had no choice but to agree.
However, the details of the battle between the two sides naturally need to be carefully considered.
The two sides were at loggerheads, going back and forth, fighting for every inch of territory.
After a long time, the two sides finally negotiated a plan that neither party could object to.
Five people from each side competed in five duels. The side with more wins is the just side. The loser needs to inform the world and apologize to the world.
In fact, this is almost certain that the Shaolin Sect will lose.
After all, with Shangguan Jinhong and Zhao Mingyuan participating, these two games are almost certain to win.
And Shaolin has no master who can compete with them. Even if they use Tian Ji's horse racing method, Shaolin cannot guarantee that they can win the remaining three games.
However, this is actually the best ending for Shaolin.
They were already very grateful to Bai Xiaosheng, who was indeed a good friend of Abbot Xinhu.
Now, they are participating in these five duels just to maintain the dignity of Shaolin.
In fact, those who participated in the Shaolin war also had the intention of dying.
They are ready to die to defend Shaolin's dignity and to tell the entire world that Shaolin's dignity is inviolable.
