Some men who were good friends with Ji Zhaohui felt pain in their hearts as they watched Ji Zhaohui being carried away with half of his body stained with blood, as if they were sitting on a chopping board.
A man stood up and asked: "Han Sitong, Master Ji just said one or two wrong words, and you cut off one of his arms. What's the reason?"
Han Sitong had already stepped down and was walking towards the south. He turned around and glanced at the man, and said calmly: "Yu Wenhui, it is obvious to all that if I, Han Sitong, do not cut off one of his arms, Ji Zhaohui will most likely do it." I lost my life." Seeing the recognition in everyone's eyes, he paused for a moment, and then said: "I don't need to say more, you Yu Wenhui should be able to weigh it clearly. Although my life, Han Sitong's, is not valuable, compared to Ji Zhaohui's An arm is a hundred times more valuable."
The heroes thought about the same thing. They had also seen Ji Zhaohui's fierce and ruthless moves, and they were afraid that they could not kill Han Sitong. Han Sitong hurt him, and it was considered self-protection. It was unnecessary to reprimand him too much. I thought that if Ji Zhaohui was willing to give up easily, he would not ignore Jiang Yulang's advice and force the person in charge to step down.
Many times, when you think about yourself, you should also think about what others think.
Ji Zhaohui made rude remarks to the late Jiang Daogong in order to intensify the conflict and see what Jiang Yulang, Zhang Fengxiang and others would do. If you can't be a good middleman, calm things down, or fall to your side, you can stand firm morally and leave angrily. There will be no fault in talking about it in the future.
Jiang Yulang, Zhang Fengxiang and others have officially become enemies with the Dragon Slayer Society after the battle at the Mountain Temple. There is no turning back when the bow is fired. Only by uniting as one and wiping out the Dragon Slaying Society can we find a good future for ourselves. Jiang Longwei and the Dragon Slaying Society have a hatred for killing their father and they are irreconcilable. In order to take care of Ji Zhaohui's feelings, he wanted Jiang Yulang to become hostile to Jiang Longwei. Such wishful thinking was doomed to fail. Not to mention that Ji Zhaohui only had one of his arms removed, and that his life was taken away by Han Sitong. Jiang Yulang and others could only snort and not do anything else.
Those heroes who did not want to be enemies of the Dragon Slaying Association saw that Ji Zhaohui had finally used one arm to open up the situation, and in exchange for an opportunity to form hostility with Jiang Yulang and other radicals, they could get rid of the shackles of Jianghu morality and have nothing to do with the matter. Their own affairs are on high priority. How can they be willing to let them miss it easily?
I saw Yu Wenhui walking out of the pergola and shouting to Han Sitong who was about to sit back: "Master Han, I wonder why you came to power just now?"
Han Sitong turned around and said, "Leader Yuwen, is it because the person who came is not kind? Or is it because the person who is kind is not coming?"
Yu Wenhui shouted angrily: "Master Han, you hurt and maim people at will, so you don't even have the qualifications to speak fair words to others?"
Han Sitong sneered and said: "Yu Wenhui, what is justice? Is it a good death for Jiang Daogong who was assassinated by the Dragon Slaying Society? Or are the knight-errant heroes who were exterminated by the Dragon Slaying Society in recent years deserved their punishment? Or is it wrong for heroes from all walks of life to gather at Justice Villa today to eradicate the Dragon Slaying Society? ? Or are you deliberately provoking trouble for your own selfish purposes, thereby disrupting the Huang Wulin Alliance, and waiting for the heroes to be killed one by one by the Dragon Slayer Society, so that you can show your merits to the Dragon Slayer in the future and become its hawks and dogs? Or..."
Yu Wenhui stammered: "You...you are arrogant...you!"
The heroes had previously felt that Han Sitong casually cut off Ji Zhaohui's arm, even though it was out of self-defense, but it was too cruel, and they wanted to criticize him. Unexpectedly, when I heard Han Sitong say this and saw Yu Wenhui stuttering, I suddenly felt enlightened. I immediately felt that Han Sitong was not only right, but he did it appropriately. He thought that if it were him, it wouldn't just be a matter of cutting off one of Ji Zhaohui's arms.
Someone in the west saw that Yu Wenhui was speechless after being questioned, so he stood up and shouted to Jiang Yulang who was standing by the stage: "Master Jiang, I heard that the Dragon Slayer Association is not only powerful, but also extremely well-organized. In my humble opinion, If we want to eradicate it completely, we must elect a leader to take charge of the overall situation and issue unified orders."
Since they are an alliance, they can elect their own leader. All the heroes echoed.
Jiang Yulang stepped onto the stage, raised his hands and clasped his fists towards everyone around him, and said loudly: "Heroes, Gang Leader Cao just proposed that if you want to completely wipe out the Dragon Slaying Association, you must elect a martial arts leader to take charge of the overall situation and unify the orders. This will not lead to a group of dragons without a leader, each of them. We are in formation and everyone does what they want. I agree very much. I wonder what everyone here thinks?"
All the heroes immediately started talking and singing loudly in the venue.
"Yes! As the saying goes, a snake cannot survive without a head."
"If you want to achieve great things, how can you be leaderless?"
"I think this is a perfectly normal idea. It's tight."
...
Jiang Yulang waved his hands to those around him, waited for the discussion to subside, and said loudly: "Everyone here has unanimously agreed that it is a good thing to elect a leader to preside over the overall situation and unify orders. Then please start nominating the leader now."
Leader Cao, who had just proposed to elect the leader of the alliance, stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, the position of leader is related to everyone's wealth and life, and is related to the rise and fall of the martial arts world. There is no room for carelessness. The election of a person with high moral prestige and both virtue and art is not allowed. A martial arts senior should come forward to take on this important task, so that everyone will feel at ease, be sincerely convinced, and listen to his orders in everything."
Many people spouted: "Yes, only people with high moral standards and good moral skills are qualified to lead the heroes and give orders."
One person shouted loudly: "I think among all of you here today, the one who is most qualified to be the leader of the alliance is none other than Shaolin's Master Liu Xinkong. I boldly propose that the position of leader should be taken by the Shaolin monk Master Liu Xinkong."
When all the heroes heard this, they all looked towards Master Hean Xingkong. They saw his Buddha light shining all over the place and the golden light behind him. They felt unnatural recognition in their hearts. Following the loud shouts of those who were interested, in an instant, there was a chorus of echoes on the field, and the position of leader was given to Shaolin verbally.
"Amitabha!" Master He Xingkong stood up and said loudly: "You heroes, thank you for your respect for Shaolin. I am grateful. However, I can understand your kindness on behalf of Shaolin, but I can never accept it on behalf of Shaolin."
One person stood up and said loudly: "Master, if you don't assume the position of leader, we won't have the confidence to annihilate the Dragon Slayer Guild."
Another person stood up and said loudly: "Shaolin Temple is known as the most famous temple in the world, the ancestral hall of Zen Buddhism, and the Holy Land of Kung Fu. It has always been the Taishan Beidou of the martial arts world. If you notice that even Master Xingkong is not qualified to be the leader of the martial arts world, we feel guilty. I am heartbroken, then this alliance will be in vain even if it is not formed." He raised his hands and clasped his fists towards everyone around him, and shouted: "Everyone, you should go back home and wait for the Dragon Slayer Association to come and persecute them one by one."
Master He Xingkong said: "Donor, everything has its own owner, and everything is worthy of its appearance. Shaolin is a peaceful place for Buddhism, and it never participates in the feuds and disputes in the martial arts world. If you let a poor monk assume the position of leader of the martial arts world, isn't it stealing Zhang Gong's hat?" Wear it when you pretend to be old. It backfires."
One person laughed and said, "Master, that's wrong! Since the Tang Dynasty King sealed the Shaolin Temple, Shaolin has become the largest sect in the world. It has been good at the world for hundreds of years. It's hard to tell how many violent spirits have been eliminated and how many grudges have been settled. , how come you never take part in the feuds and disputes in the world of martial arts?"
Master He Xingkong smiled and said: "What the donor said is true. However, the poor monk is an outsider. He has practiced Zen and Buddhism for decades, not strength. He can persuade people to do good, but he can lead heroes to kill animals. I'm afraid It is absolutely necessary. I cannot preside over the overall situation of using violence to fight violence, and it is really difficult for me to be qualified to be the leader of the alliance. I hope you heroes will forgive me." He raised his right palm in front of his chest, gave a slight salute, and said: "Amitabha!" Then he sat down, In the face of the voices of heroes, he remained silent.
The Book of Changes says: Use nine to see a group of dragons without a leader, which is auspicious!
Thinking about the fact that since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has emphasized literature but suppressed martial arts, worshiped Taoism and suppressed Buddhism, and the path has been clear. Master Hexinkong, as a generation of eminent monks, how could he not see the situation clearly? Moreover, this private gathering of heroes and heroines did not receive permission from the imperial court. From the perspective of outsiders, it violated the imperial laws and threatened to use force to break the ban. I'm just afraid that whoever becomes the leader of the alliance will become the target of the imperial court's relentless attack. Master He Xingkong is concerned about the future of Buddhism, so how dare he push Shaolin Temple to the forefront for a false reputation?
A man said loudly: "Everyone, in my humble opinion, Shaolin is not willing to lead the heroes in this martial arts alliance. The alliance is just a paper war, and the intention to annihilate the Dragon Slaying Association is just to quench the thirst of plum blossoms and draw cakes to satisfy hunger. Brothers are not talented and do not want to do this. It is a self-deceiving and thankless thing, so I have to take the first step." He clasped his fists towards the audience and said with great regret: "I can't fight side by side with you, advance and retreat together, I hope you will understand." Looking at Jiang Yulang, he said I asked if we could stay together for a while and force Master He Xinkong to sit on the throne of alliance leader.
Jiang Yulang saw this man clamoring in the morning and took pleasure in killing Feng Wanli, Dong Xiaowan, Zuo Tuming and others, but failed to achieve his wish. At this time, he was eager to catch up and forced the Shaolin monk to assume the position of leader. His intentions were so sinister that he no longer deserved to be called a knight-errant hero, and there was no need to be kind to him. He quickly clasped his fists and said, "It's easy to go, Master Song. I'm sorry that Jiang has something to do and can't move to see you off."
The words surnamed Song had been spoken, but the host did not say anything to persuade him to stay, so he had no choice but to step away with a sharp step.
Gu Huai was sitting next to Master Zhizhi. After receiving a slight reminder from Master Zhizhi, he stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, Buddhism is quiet and inactive. It has neither the intention of 'disrupting the law with words' nor the intention of 'violating the prohibition with force'. Note. Master Kong is an eminent monk. If he is forcibly elected as the leader of the martial arts alliance and presides over the overall situation of using violence to control violence, it will be suspected of forcing the Buddha to kill people. It is extremely undesirable. In the humble opinion of an ancient man, it is better to consider the long term when choosing the leader of the alliance. yes."
Many sects, gangs, or individuals who have good relations with the Shaolin Temple have long wanted to speak out for Master Hee Xingkong, but they have been short-sighted and unable to find a way to speak out. After Gu Huai said this, he immediately became alive and echoed: "What Gu Huai said makes sense, but we were not thoughtful enough. Please forgive me, master."
Those who wanted to drag Shaolin into trouble saw that Gu Huai's words were too perfect and impeccable, so they gave up their previous thoughts and thought hard about other countermeasures.
A golden light flashed in front of one person's eyes, and he shouted loudly: "Imagine that Master He Xinkong has been studying Buddhism for decades and is dedicated to doing good. How could he see those who deserved to die in the Dragon Slaying Association and not save him. But the laws of nature are clear. Those who have merit should be rewarded, and those who are guilty should be punished. Those who deliberately kill must pay with their lives. How can those demons in the Dragon Slaying Association not accept justice for their evil deeds? Can they just say 'put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately'?"
Many people were very interested and echoed loudly.
