Chapter Seventy-Nine: Opening 4
Within a few days, many young masters from all walks of life from all walks of life came to the vicinity of Xixi. After they got the news, they all rushed to Hangzhou immediately, and they didn't stop all the way, hoping to take this opportunity to worship the Ice Sect. After careful screening, there are about more than ten young people who have little to do with Shaolin Temple and have a certain martial arts foundation and family background, and they were accepted as disciples by the eyes of the left-hand Buddha.
The move of the Left Buddha is not only out of the consideration of establishing a sect and inheriting the unique learning, but also to achieve the purpose of expanding its influence and correcting the public. In this way, in the future, if there are still people in the rivers and lakes who openly say that the "dark and true qi" belongs to the crooked and evil way, then it will not only provoke a Zuo family of the Anxi Dart Bureau, but also embarrass these disciples of the Cold Ice Sect and the entire family behind them. In this case, even if it is the Shaolin Temple, it has to be weighed again, and it will not show up easily.
However, the quota of more than ten disciples is obviously not enough to satisfy the appetite of young rangers from all walks of life. Many people gathered outside the gate of the Ice Sect, chanting various slogans and threatening that if the Ice Sect did not agree to their request to enter the apprenticeship, they would stay at the door.
This made Zuo Xinfo very difficult. If these people are accepted as disciples, I am afraid that if thousands more people are recruited, there will still be people who are not satisfied. The Ice Sect has the financial resources to feed these people for a few years in vain, and there is no problem. But in this way, it is difficult to ensure that these people are good and bad, if they are mixed with some ill-intentioned people, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the Ice Sect in the future. Later, although the imperial court did not have explicit regulations on the recruitment of apprentices by various sects, it has never interfered. However, if thousands of people are recruited at one time, and the scale is so large, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction and suspicion on the part of the imperial court. This is a no-go.
Fortunately, this problem is difficult to defeat Jinyi Wei Qianhu Zuohan. After negotiating with his uncle Zuo Xinfo, Zuo Han came forward to promise everyone outside the door that on the tenth day of each month, the Cold Ice Sect would admit a number of disciples according to the registration of many young heroes, and enter the Cold Ice Sect to practice "Cold Ice True Qi". But if there are any more people gathered at the gate of the Cold Ice Sect and disturbed the trouble, then the long sword in his Zuo Han's hand will no longer be polite, and they will all be caught in the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households, tortured, and found out if someone secretly instructed them.
Zuo Han's method of applying both soft and hard is very effective. In the afternoon of the same day, the young people who had gathered at the gate of the Ice Sect scattered one after another. Zuo Han sent a number of good hands, followed all the way, and sure enough, he found that there were many people, and after turning around, he turned into the Lingyin Temple. This discovery made Zuo Han very depressed, but he couldn't say anything about it.
After all, the Anxi Zuo family and the Shaolin Temple once negotiated, and the well water of the two sides did not interfere with the river water. The Ice Sect has just been founded, so there is no need to immediately tear up with the Shaolin Temple for this trivial matter.
"I'll have to bear with it. Zuo Han sighed suddenly, feeling heavy in his heart.
I thought that after the battle between the Zuo Buddha and the abbot of Guohua, I would be able to change everyone's original colored vision, and look at the "dark and quiet true qi" and the Anxi Zuo family from a fair perspective.
But no one expected that the abbot of Guohua and the entire Shaolin Temple did not blatantly attack the Anxi Zuo family and the newly established Han Bing. But they are secretly, I don't know which dark forces they have, and they actually do the act of secretly slandering the true qi of the underworld.
Rumors are flying all over the market. Everyone has a legend that the Anxi Zuo family came from outside the territory, cultivated a demon law, Shaolin Temple purified all sentient beings, adhered to the concept of "I don't go to hell, who goes to hell", and did not hesitate to sacrifice life and forget death, and Zuo Xinfo fought a battle, although defeated, it was still glorious, Yunyun.
This kind of absurd talk naturally can't deceive martial arts people. Many experts in the rivers and lakes scoffed at this statement, and the young people who wanted to practice the "Cold Ice True Qi" surrounded the entire Cold Ice station, which is a clear proof of this.
But the problem is that people in the martial arts are, after all, a very small part of the crowd. They can't sway public opinion, and no one wants to come forward to argue for the Ice faction. As a result, instead of gradually becoming clear with the passage of time, the truth has become more and more obscure, driven by the deliberate efforts of a small group of people behind it. All kinds of strange tales began to emerge one after another.
Some people say that the left-sex Buddha is the incarnation of a Tianshan snow jiao, which is ferocious by nature and likes to eat human flesh. The men, women, and children who died in his mouth were really unknown.
It is also said that the left-sex Buddha seems to be kind and amiable. But in fact, he hides a knife with a smile, which is the most treacherous. Every midnight watch, he would sneak into the courtyard of the deep house, capture people, and turn them into rations.
Some people also say that Jiaolong is lewd. This left-sex Buddha likes the kind of young women with fine skin and tender flesh the most, but he has no pity for these unfortunate women. Every night in the middle of the night, when the reconciliation was completed, he swallowed the beautiful person who slept beside his pillow. The reason why he left the Buddha traveled thousands of miles to rush from the northwest to the south of the Yangtze River was that he took a fancy to the women in Suzhou and Hangzhou, who were white and beautiful, so he planned to stay in Hangzhou for a long time, and he would never stop until the scourge of the stunning beauties within a radius of 100 miles was finished.
Regarding these rumors, although the Buddha himself heard some rumors, he did not care. In his opinion, those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, and they can't deliberately argue about anything because of these rumors. As long as after a period of time, what he did did did not match those deliberately smeared words, those rumors will naturally be broken.
But no one expected that immediately afterward, inside and outside Hangzhou, some strange things suddenly appeared. First of all, Zhang Yuanwai's family near Xixi, dozens of people in the family, all of them suddenly died late one night. The deceased's body was thin and his face was pale, as if he had been sucked with blood from his mouth, and it looked like it was chilling.
Soon, in a fisherman's house on the bank of the Qiantang River, the two naturally beautiful fishermen's girls, twin sisters, were swept into the water by a dragon that suddenly appeared on the river at noon, when the sun was shining, and they could no longer find anyone. His poor father begged a group of friends to salvage the Qiantang River several times, but not a single garment or shoe was recovered. Someone secretly said that these eighty percent were eaten into the stomach by that hateful dragon with clothes and shoes and socks.
At this time, some people in Hangzhou were panicked. Those poor people who have nothing are still not afraid, thinking that even if the sky falls, there will still be tall people on top of it.
Those rich families obviously can't sit still. Some people have started to hire good people from all walks of life to take care of the home. In the courtyard, the lights are as bright as day at night, and during the day the gate is closed and heavily guarded. There are also some people who began to move their families, secretly moving those young women with a certain appearance in the family to Suzhou and Nanjing.
Those who have financial resources can only drag their families and spend a hundred taels of silver to buy a talisman from the monks of Lingyin Temple. With this amulet, they could enter the Lingyin Temple at night, rent a side room, and rest haphazardly. Because everyone is subconsciously willing to believe that although the abbot of Guohua can't win the dragon, but the dragon can't do anything to the abbot of Guohua either, now, the abbot of Shaolin Temple Guohua is living in the Lingyin Temple, and wants to come to the Tianshan Snow Jiao, even if he eats the leopard gall, he doesn't dare to come to the Lingyin Temple to deliberately provoke.
For a time, the Lingyin Temple was crowded. The senior monks of Shaolin Temple, who announced the full takeover of Lingyin Temple, made a lot of money.
