Chapter 49: Good and Evil 2
When Zuo Han changed his clothes, finished washing, and came to the front yard hall to meet everyone, he found that the lineup of visitors was even stronger than what Wang Yang said before. In addition to the known abbot of Guohua, Daoist Chongyuan, Master Yiqing and Xiangwan Sect Leader, there are also the leader of the beggar gang Xie Zhixi, the head of the Emei faction Bingfeng Shitai, the head of the Taihang faction Song Ningyuan, the head of the Xiaoxiang faction Hu Shanzhen, the head of the Kongtong faction Jingning Daochang, the head of the Donghai gang Mo Tianlun, and the head of the Huashan faction Feng Buping's palm pearl Feng Shuang, the deputy head of the Hengshan faction Fang Wanli and others, as for the elders of the various sects, they are like carp crossing the river. It can be said that most of the top figures on the rivers and lakes are gathered here today. Although Zuo Han doesn't know why these people came, there is a saying that "those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come", and it is probably not a good thing for these people to come together. Therefore, when the deputy head of the Wudang faction, the head of Okinawa, was still there and gushing endlessly, introducing the identity of the guest, Zuo Han nodded on the surface, and said polite words such as "look up for a long time" in his mouth, but his heart was tossing and turning, full of melancholy, and he didn't know how to deal with it next.
After the two sides saluted, the abbot of Guohua coughed and glanced at Hu Shanzhen, the head of the Xiaoxiang faction. Nahu Shanzhen then opened the topic, twisted his beard and said, "As the saying goes, everyone has their own ambitions. Lord Zuo was reluctant to walk on the rivers and lakes and devoted himself to serving the court, which was originally excellent. is young, and being able to hold the position of a thousand households is a good story in officialdom. But Lord Zuo should not be involved in the disputes of the rivers and lakes, even if he is a member of the rivers and lakes, he must accept the corresponding norms and universal morality on the rivers and lakes. I don't know if Lord Zuo has any doubts about this?"
Although Zuo Han has been walking on the rivers and lakes for a long time, it is the first time he has seen the head of the Xiaoxiang faction. I saw that he had a white face, a fluttering beard, and looked gentle and elegant, not like a person in the rivers and lakes. Zuo Han knew that Hu Shanzhen's words contained a trap, but it was difficult to refute them, so he could only nod in agreement at the moment, "What Master Hu said is good, I have no doubt." ”
"Okay!" Hu Shanzhen clapped his hands and said loudly, "Lord Zuo is really a person who understands righteousness. Let me go on. Back then, the former head of the Sun Moon God Sect used the Star Absorbing Demon Method to break through the rivers and lakes, and all those who were poisoned by it lost all their skills, and their decades of cultivation were ruined, and their methods were so vicious. For a time, the rivers and lakes were shaken, and everyone was in danger. To this end, the master of Shaolin Temple Fang Zheng invited fellow martial artists to gather in Songshan Shaolin Temple, and unanimously agreed that anyone who practices the method of absorbing stars and demons will be punished by everyone, and they don't have to care whether the means are legitimate. Do you think Master Fang Zheng is doing something wrong?
"There's nothing wrong with that. Master Fang Zheng can be described as a moral model on the rivers and lakes, he is fair, merciful and compassionate, and there is a reason for this. Zuo Han replied calmly.
"Alright, I'll get down to business. Hu Shanzhen suddenly changed his face, and said in a fierce voice, "Last night, you used the 'dark and true qi' to make a big fuss, and slashed and killed Guoyun, Guoxiu, Guoning, Guoping, Guoheng, Guoan and other high-ranking monks with one palm, and the 'Dharma Six Hermits', who are known as chivalrous in the rivers and lakes, died in your hands overnight, and they froze to death. Demonic kung fu like yours, fierce and vicious, should it be banned forever in the rivers and lakes?"
As soon as Hu Shanzhen said this, there was an uproar. Originally, the abbot of Guohua invited many martial arts masters to come to Hangzhou together, but it was just an excuse to deal with the Shanghai gang and force the major factions to stand in line in advance. In the eyes of the principals of the various sects, although Ling Hu Chong and Ren Yingying have long since retired, they have extensive influence after all, and they are the biggest taboo in the martial arts, and the most terrifying existence. If they live in the northwest with peace of mind and don't ask about the world, they will naturally be happy. But now Linghu Chong has accepted an apprentice named Shangguan Hongyang, if he instructs Shangguan Hongyang to do this and that, or simply appoints Shangguan Hongyang to walk the rivers and lakes on behalf of the two of them, then how will these famous people on the rivers and lakes deal with themselves in the future? If Shangguan Hongyang bows down to orders and flatters him, of course he can ensure peace, but this will inevitably hinder himself and even damage his interests. But if they go against Shangguan Hongyang, they will face huge risks, and in case of a stalemate or bloodshed, will Ling Hu Chong and his wife intervene? Therefore, in the martial arts, many people have the intention of erasing Shangguan Hongyang and cutting off the hand that Ling Hu Chong and his wife stretched out to the rivers and lakes. Now the abbot of Shaolin Temple Guohua has come forward to ask the Shangguan to promote Xingshi under the pretext of the original sin of the Shanghai Gang, and the various sects are of course optimistic about its success. Even if some people oppose it, they can only obey the majority. Everyone originally thought that this time a large number of elites of Shaolin Temple went south, aiming to win, it can be said that God blocks and kills God, and the devil blocks and kills demons, and no one dares to attack it. But he never thought that the Shanghai Gang was still far away in the sky, but the 'Dharma Six Hermits' were all killed. How can this Zuo Han be so virtuous that he has become perverted to such an extent that he can kill the six great masters of Buddhism with one move? Everyone looked at Zuo Han's expression, and couldn't help but gradually become solemn, could it be that he really cultivated a kind of demonic crooked kung fu, which affected the balance and stability of the rivers and lakes?
Zuo Han was also surprised. In his opinion, last night's "Thousand Miles of Ice" blow was indeed unprepared, and it was quite effective. But the "Dharma Six Hermits" are also quasi-first-class masters on the rivers and lakes, except for the monk Kaiguoyun who bears the brunt and cannot be avoided, as long as others are a little vigilant, they will definitely not be killed on the spot. More importantly, at the scene last night, he saw with his own eyes that Monk Xinyong evacuated with everyone in embarrassment, and the few corpses left behind, could it be so coincidental that all of them were the remaining five of the "Dharma Six Hermits"? However, this kind of doubt, Zuo Han could only put it in his heart, and he didn't dare to put it on the surface, he said with a bitter face, "At that time, the situation was urgent, if I didn't kill Guoyun, Guoyun would kill me." As for the power of the 'dark true qi', in fact, it is not more than Er'er, and the senior monks of Shaolin Temple are just careless and negligent in their precautions. In fact, last year, I also used the 'Dark True Qi' to fight Komatsu Taro, a master of the Toyo Headquarters of the Sea Gang, but I was hit by the 'Breeze on the Sea' and almost died in his hands. From this point of view, the 'Dark True Qi' really can't be on the table, and when it comes to fighting people, it doesn't have any advantages at all. Wouldn't it be too unfair to me if I wanted to let this martial art disappear in the rivers and lakes just because I was lucky enough to get it? As far as I know, the Shaolin Temple's 'Mighty King Kong Finger' and the Xiaoxiang School's 'Yunmeng Heart-piercing Hand' are both extremely domineering, and they are often either killed or injured, so should they also be included in the list of prohibited rivers and lakes?"
"What a guy with sharp teeth and sharp teeth!" Hu Shanzhen snorted and said hatefully, "Whether it's the 'Mighty King Kong Finger' or the 'Yunmeng Piercing Heart Hand', they are all known for their moves, with the help of their limbs, if they can't hit the other party, they will naturally be ineffective, and they completely belong to the category of righteous martial arts." However, your so-called 'Dark True Qi' doesn't matter if you move it, and you don't need to touch the opponent's body, you can make the opponent freeze into an icicle with a single split. Isn't this just pretending to be a ghost and almost a demon all the way? If you Zuo Han dare to set foot in the rivers and lakes again, my Xiaoxiang faction will be the first to not let you go. ”
