The reason why Zuo Xing Buddha and Zuo Han came to Lingyin Temple with great fanfare was originally just to show their faces once and create an alibi. Of course, they have no intention of fighting this battle with the Shaolin Temple, whether they win or lose, even if they win, it will be a disastrous victory, and it will not be beneficial to the development of the Ice Sect at all. Therefore, as soon as he saw the angry appearance of the senior monks of Shaolin Temple, Zuo Han immediately apologized and said with a smile, "Master Xinyong said with a smile. We originally came to seek refuge, but how dare we look at no one? Since the eminent monks have misunderstood our Cold Ice Sect and our group, it is not convenient for us to stay here for a long time. I would like to ask for your forgiveness. ”

After finishing speaking, Zuo Xingfo, Zuo Han and others did not wait for the other party to talk, turned their heads and left. Since they put their posture so low, it made the senior monks of Shaolin Temple a little stunned. They don't understand which play the other party is singing, how can they come and go? Considering that their own side is not sure of victory, and the other party is forced to retreat without a fight, it is also of great benefit to the reputation of Shaolin Temple. The abbot of Guohua and the others did not blindly stay, and let the other party go.

On the way back, Zuo Xingfo, Zuo Han and others deliberately grinded and walked around. Halfway through, I encountered a restaurant with extremely luxurious decoration, and I went in to charter the venue. Upstairs and downstairs, good wine and food, eating and drinking. As the leading figures, Zuo Xingfo, Zuo Han and others naturally sat by the window, deliberately laughing loudly, and pointing at everyone on the street. It was not until sunset that the birds returned to the forest that they came out of the restaurant drunkenly and staggered back, laughing all the way.

On this night, the family of Zhang Guilin, a local tyrant in Tonglu, was slaughtered, and dozens of young female artists in Ruyi Fang, Xinghua Lane, Fuyang City disappeared. But obviously, none of this has anything to do with the Ice Faction. Everyone in Hangzhou knows that the main force of the Ice Sect did not go out on this day, and all gathered in the city. Even the "Kunlun scimitar" Song Yongning, although he was ordered to guard the garrison and did not go to Lingyin Temple to participate in the confrontation, he also walked out of the courtyard gate from time to time and lingered in the nearby wine shops, deliberately showing his deeds in the eyes of the world.

At the same time, gossip began to circulate in Hangzhou. Some people say that on the afternoon of the day when Zhang Guilin's house was massacred, a group of monks appeared in Tonglu City, who had worked in a roadside shop and whose whereabouts were unknown after dark. Some people also said that the gangsters who kidnapped dozens of young female artists in Ruyifang were all bare on their heads, not even a single hair.

All kinds of rumors continue to ferment and are widely circulated in the market. forced the Shaolin Temple monk Shin Wing to come forward publicly, saying that these rumors were nonsense. But then, Zuo Han's next move directly pushed Monk Xinyong into the corner.

Jinyiwei Zhejiang Qianhu Office issued an announcement, saying that on the day of the incident, six groups of about 20 monks in Lingyin Temple went out, and three of them did return on the same day, but the other three groups never returned to Lingyin Temple. The whereabouts of these three groups of monks include Tonglu and Fuyang, where the crime occurred.

After this announcement was issued, public opinion in the entire city of Hangzhou was in an uproar. It is true that Jinyiwei's reputation in Zhejiang is not very good. But whether there are three groups of monks from Hangzhou City to Tonglu and Fuyang, it is difficult to deceive in front of everyone's eyes. If no one reminded them, naturally no one would have thought of this matter, and even if the monks gathered in groups, no one would pay special attention.

But now things are in a uproar, whether it is the destruction of a family or the capture of a young woman, it is closely related to the interests of the people in the city. According to the clues provided by Jinyiwei, many wealthy families assigned people to investigate along the way, which confirmed this. After the news spread, the wealthy families who had gathered in the Lingyin Temple to seek refuge immediately dispersed.

It turns out that those rumors on the head of the left-sex Buddha turned out to be a good thing done by the monks of Shaolin Temple?

"Look at all the good things you've done. Even though Abbot Guohua was very good at cultivating qi, he couldn't hold it back, so he called Monk Xinyong over and scolded him. Originally, according to the temper of the abbot of Guohua, I couldn't wait to pick up the wooden stick and beat the monk Xinyong with my own hands.

But when I think of Monk Xinyong, he has been diligent and diligent for many years, and he has made all kinds of suggestions, which has both merit and hard work. You can't turn your face and deny people just because you haven't done a good job. In this way, who will do his best to do his best in the future? Thinking about it in this way, the mood of the abbot of Guohua gradually calmed down.

Looking at Monk Shinaga who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, Abbot Guohua leaned down and stretched out his hand to help him up. He changed his tone of voice and asked Monk Xinyong, "That's it, when everyone is careless, don't mention this matter again." Why don't you tell me how this should be done?"

Monk Xinyong was grateful, and said with a sneer, "Master Abbot doesn't need to be worried. Although things are passive, they are not so tricky that they can't be handled. These wealthy families in Hangzhou, although they have investigated the route of the monks, are indeed related to the place where a series of recent cases took place. But catching thieves and catching stolen goods is about one person getting all the stolen goods. They didn't have the skills to find out who the monks were. Hey, hey, we can make a fuss about this. At the end, Monk Shinei laughed very happily, obviously knowing this.

"You mean?" Abbot Guohua hurriedly asked.

"Since the specific identity has not been revealed, we can put all this on the head of the Lingyin Temple, saying that these things were all done by the master of the Lingyin Temple, the presiding master of the Wuxiang Temple, and instructed his subordinates to do it. In this way, we can have an explanation to the outside world and remove the Shaolin Temple from these things. Second, you can also take the opportunity to abolish Master Wuxiang's martial arts, expel his cronies, and officially take over Lingyin Temple. Monk Shinei proposed.

"Well, you're a pretty good idea. Abbot Guohua nodded and agreed, "Master Wuxiang has always been stubborn and unwilling to surrender to my Shaolin Temple. But he has a high prestige among the Buddhism in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was suddenly denounced, and his reputation in Shaolin Temple was not very good. Through this matter, he can be pushed out, let him bear the anger of all walks of life, and abolish his martial arts and eliminate a big trouble. ”

The two were talking happily and making various arrangements for the relevant details, when they suddenly heard a noise outside the house. The abbot of Guohua then said in a loud voice, "Why is it so noisy?"

A little novice came in to give a salute, and then reported, "So that the abbot master learned that early this morning, thousands of people gathered outside the gate of Lingyin Temple, and they waved banners with words such as 'Severely punish the murderer and uphold justice', asking the Shaolin Temple to hand over the murderer." Several elders have been used to maintain order in front of the Lingyin Temple, but the crowd is surging, and it is not easy for the monks to openly fight against these ordinary people who do not know martial arts. Seeing that these people were about to rush into the temple, the elders ordered the little monk to come in and quickly inform the abbot master, please make plans as soon as possible. ”

Abbot Guohua laughed angrily, "This eighty percent is the idea of that Jinyi Wei Qianhu Zuo Han again." To stir up public resentment and frame Buddhism, this trick came really quickly. ”

Monk Xinyong said confidently, "It's okay. Now that the back-to-back man has been arranged, no matter what happens to others, it won't hurt a single hair of our Shaolin Temple. ”
