Chapter 33: Destroying the Gate

In the early morning, the sound of the morning bell from the Shaolin Temple woke us up from our sleep.

We walked out of the inn and came to a noodle restaurant for breakfast.

Me: Boss, four bowls of mushroom noodles.

Boss: Holo, guest officer, wait a minute.

We found a table and sat down.

Me: It's time for fresh mushrooms to hit the market, and mushroom noodles are the best at this time.

Wang Long: Brother Jiang knows a lot, this time is indeed the freshest time for mushrooms, and we are blessed this time.

When everyone heard Wang Lung say this, they all burst out laughing.

It didn't take long for all four bowls of mushroom noodles to be served, and when I looked at this noodle, I was immediately appetizing.

The four of us finished the noodles very slowly, and we all had a feeling of unfinished.

Me: Brothers, do you want another bowl?

Wang Long: Brother Jiang, that's exactly what I want.

The stupid cow and the dog baby also nodded violently on the side.

I was about to ask the boss to bring us another bowl of mushroom noodles, but I heard someone outside shouting: Oh no, something is wrong.

As soon as I heard that something was wrong, I wanted to find out what was going on.

Me: Dogbaby, go and ask which fellow, what's going on?

Dogbaby: Okay, big brother.

The dog baby walked out and came back after a few minutes.

Gouwa: Big brother, the fellow said that dozens of corpses were found at the intersection out of the town, and all of them died very miserably, but I don't know who died or who killed them.

As soon as I heard that dozens of people had died, this was okay, and I had to go and see it, otherwise, how could I be worthy of my title of chief inspector of the rivers and lakes.

Me: Brothers, let's go, go to the scene.

Wang Long, Stupid Cow, and Dog Baby said in unison: Okay.

I gave the boss a silver ingot, walked out of the noodle shop, and ran along the way out of town.

After walking for about ten minutes, I arrived at the place of the incident.

I took one look and was terrified, the death of these people was extremely tragic, and it can really be described as horrible.

I saw a flag in a pool of blood, and I said, "Stupid cow, dog, go and get that flag."

Stupid cow, dog baby: Yes, big brother.

The stupid cow and the dog baby walked into the corpse bush, moved the corpse that was holding the flag down, picked up the flag covered in blood, and brought it over.

Me: Brother Long, what is written on it?

Wang Lung took the flag and looked at it, was surprised, and said: Jiangzi.

When I heard this, I was really taken aback and said: In this way, these people are the robbers of Longmen Cave in Shouyang Mountain.

Wang Long: It should be certain that Wan Shan took them all the way to Dongting Lake under the banner, and he must have alarmed a bowl of porridge.

Me: So, a bowl of porridge killed them all, creating this tragedy.

Wang Long: Absolutely.

Me: These are just our speculations, and we can't find any strong evidence at this point, but this account must be counted on the head of a bowl of porridge sect. Although Wanshan's gang of robbers has done a lot of evil, after all, there are so many lives, stupid cows, dog babies, you find a torch and cremate their corpses.

Stupid Cow, Dog: Yes.

The stupid cow and the dog baby found the torches, and then brought the bodies of the robbers together, and lit the torches, which instantly ignited a raging fire, turning them all into dust.

Me: Brother Wanshan, you can rest here, I hope you will not be robbers in the next life, and live a dull life.

We bowed to the fire and headed for the Shaolin Temple.

I was thinking about it on the way, and suddenly, I understood something.

Me: Brother Long, we went from Fanyang to Chang'an, and we also encountered a bowl of porridge sect near here, this time the robbers of Longmen Cave in Shouyang Mountain were destroyed, and it was very close to the place where we were assassinated last time, so one thing is certain, this bowl of porridge sect must have a rudder in this vicinity.

Wang Long: Listening to Brother Jiang's words, there is indeed such a possibility, if this is the case, then we should be more careful, this bowl of porridge sect is cruel, and it hates us to the core, it really makes us encounter a bowl of porridge sect, and it is estimated that the death is worse than this gang of robbers.

Stupid Cow: So, aren't we in danger right now?

Me: Brothers, don't panic, even if you want to exterminate a bowl of porridge sect, sooner or later you will have to fight.

Wang Long: It's just that we don't have enough strength now!

Me: It's not that we don't have enough strength, the biggest problem is that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the open, as the so-called open guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are difficult to defend, which is the most terrible.

Gouwa: Big brother, it's a big deal to fight with them, and I don't know who is dead and who is alive.

Me: I hope that a bowl of porridge will come out and fight with us, so that we can mobilize our army and annihilate them in one fell swoop. They are hiding very deep now, and they are afraid that before we can fight with them, our own lives will be gone.

Wang Long: Brother Jiang is right, what should we do now?

Me: Mobilizing the army to follow us will definitely not work, firstly, the goal is too big, and secondly, the expenditure is not small, the most important thing for us now is to rush to the Shaolin Temple immediately, hoping that the true master can help us, so that we do not have to fear a bowl of porridge to assassinate us.

Wang Long: What Brother Jiang said is very true, but we have no friendship with this true master at all, why should he help us?

Me: Shaolin Temple to deal with a bowl of porridge is not to help us, but to help the people of the world, although this bowl of porridge did not kill the people indiscriminately, but, they instigated the people to rebel, is doing a big rebellion, Shaolin Temple as the Jianghu sect of Taishan Beidou, is there no obligation to maintain the stability of the rivers and lakes?

Wang Long: Brother Jiang's words are reasonable, let's hurry up to the Shaolin Temple and listen to what Master Benzhen himself says.

Me: Okay.

We hurried all the way, and after half an hour, we arrived at the gate of Shaolin Temple.

I glanced at the gate of Shaolin Temple, it was exactly the same as the last time, there was no change in the slightest, the only thing that has changed is that I have changed from a nameless rat to the chief inspector of the rivers and lakes appointed by the emperor today.

Me: Dog, go ring the bell.

The dog baby walked to the bell at the gate of Shaolin Temple and rang the bell three times.

It didn't take long for a monk to open the door.

I hurriedly stepped forward and said: This little master, Jiang Dazhi, the chief inspector of the rivers and lakes appointed by the emperor, has come to meet the abbot of Shaolin Temple.

Monk: Donors, wait a while, and wait for the little monk to go in and make an announcement.

Me: Thank you, little master.

The monk closed the door, and it didn't take long for the gate of the Shaolin Temple to open again, and the monk walked out of the gate and said, "The abbot has invited General Jiang."

Me: Thank you, little master.

We followed the monk all the way to the Shaolin Temple, walked for more than ten minutes, and came to the living room of the Shaolin Temple.

Monk: General Jiang, please wait here, the abbot will be here soon.

Me: Thank you, little master.

The monk saluted us and walked out of the living room.

We sat in the living room and waited for the arrival of the True Master.

It didn't take long for the True Master to walk into the living room.

I quickly got up and greeted him, saying: Senior Jiang Dazhi, please meet Master Benzhen.

Master True: General Jiang, you're welcome, please take a seat.

Me: Master, please.

After Master Benzhen sat down, I said straight to the point: The younger generation came to disturb Master Benzhen's cultivation this time, because he wanted to ask Shaolin Temple to take action and exterminate a bowl of porridge sect.

Master Benzhen: This bowl of porridge has long been heard of by the old man, and recently he went to the capital to assassinate the emperor, which is really rebellious.

As soon as I heard the true master say this, I thought: It seems that this true master also hates a bowl of porridge teaching, and this time the Shaolin Temple is probably going to make a move.

Me: What the master said is extremely reasonable, these people are not only rebellious, but also bold, just last night, a bowl of porridge sect killed all the people in Longmen Cave in Shouyang Mountain, and the means were extremely cruel.

True Master: Amitabha, sins and sins, since the establishment of the Bowl of Porridge Sect, it has rarely harmed the people, but if it continues to develop according to this momentum, it is bound to embark on the road of evil demons and crooked religions.

Me: That's exactly what the master said.

True Master: People's hearts are originally good, but unfortunately, there are always some people who are blinded by evil and embark on the path of evil.

Me: The master said it well, in view of these crimes of the One Bowl of Porridge Sect, all righteous people in the rivers and lakes are obliged to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

True Master: Amitabha, Shaolin Temple is the place of the world's pure cultivation, should not participate in the world war, the rivers and lakes fighting, but, contrary to wishes, the world has to have a war every few years, causing the people of the world to live a bad life, at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the thirteen stick monks of the temple once saved the life of the Tang King, after the Tang King ascended the throne, became Taizong, the temple was named the Huguo Temple, the leader of all the gangs in the rivers and lakes, leading the gangs in the rivers and lakes, doing justice, driving evil, so that the people in the world can live and work in peace and contentment.

Me: Shaolin is worthy of being the leader of the rivers and lakes, and the master is worthy of being a master of the world.

Master Benzhen: General Jiang, the prize has passed, that is, a bowl of porridge is harmful to the rivers and lakes, so in order to support justice, Shaolin Temple must exterminate them, Lao Qu let the first Damo Academy Wuxiang lead the temple Dharma Fuhu Array eighteen stick monks, go to destroy a bowl of porridge with General Jiang.

Me: Thank you, Master, I wonder if Master Wuxiang will be able to go down the mountain with the juniors today?

Master Benzhen: The younger brother of Wuxiang took the eighteen stick monks of the temple to go out and travel, and he has not returned yet, and the old man will send the monks of the temple to inform Wuxiang to go to find General Jiang.

Me: Thank you, Master, then please inform Master Wuxiang to rush to Junshan Island in Dongting Lake on the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of May to participate in the inaugural meeting of the Jianghu Column.

True Master: It's fine.

Me: The junior is deeply grateful for the master's help.

True Master: Amitabha, General Jiang is also for the stability of the rivers and lakes, regardless of his own safety, and actively participates in the side of justice, which is really commendable.

Me: Master, it's too famous, the younger generation can't afford it, this time there is a Shaolin Temple to take action, and the extermination of a bowl of porridge should be just around the corner.

True Master: Everything has its own destiny, Amitabha, good and good.

Me: The junior thanks the master, I won't bother the master today, and the junior has taken his leave.

True Master: General Jiang, go slowly.

We saluted the true master and walked out of the living room, and it was the monk who sent us out of the Shaolin Temple.

Walking out of the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple, I looked back at the giant flat of Shaolin Temple again, and felt that the three words "Shaolin Temple" were full of a sense of justice, and my admiration for Shaolin Temple was like a surging river, endless.

Wang Long: I didn't expect that the True Master agreed to send troops, and now our chances of victory will be great. However, now that Master Wuxiang is not by our side, our safety is still a problem!

Me: Brother Long is very right, and now we can only rely on ourselves, so let's be careful.

Wang Long: Yes, where are we going now?

Me: When I went to Chang'an, I met Hua Wuyu in Shaoshan Town, let's go to Qixianzhuang now, go down to Shaoshan Town for lunch, and strive to rush to Qixianzhuang in the evening, and live in Hua Wuyu's house tonight.

Wang Long, Stupid Cow, Dog Baby: Okay.

We got on our horses and headed for Shaoshan Town. Riding on the horse, I was very excited, because my Jianghu column had finally improved.
