Chapter 56. The mystery of the identity of the sweeping monk
The form here, the sweeping monk has already seen it.
"Abbot." The sweeping monk bowed to Xuanci, "But it was the old monk who brought this tribulation to Shaolin..."
As he spoke, he looked at Lu Zhi again: "The old monk is determined to leave Shaolin, and the matter of Murong Bo's old benefactor is all done by the old monk himself, and it has nothing to do with Shaolin, so all these responsibilities will be borne by the old monk, and I hope that the real person will not embarrass Shaolin." ”
Lu Zhi was unmoved, but said: "Didn't the seniors think that they could bear everything by themselves?" The battle of Shaolin is purely self-inflicted! ”
"The Shaolin monks, who do not produce or pay taxes, occupy almost all the land in Songshan, and in recent years, they have recruited monks and trained warrior monks... The old things of the former Tang Dynasty are still vivid! ”
Hearing this, Xuan Ci and the other monks suddenly came to their senses, it turned out... Is it because of this that the imperial court wants to suppress them Shaolin?!
"This Dao Leader! Please also listen to the words of the poor monk. A thin monk spoke up, "The poor monk is the head of the temple, and the Shaolin fields are all managed by the poor monks." ”
"And I, Shaolin, have never deducted the people under the mountain, my Shaolin gave up the land for the people to cultivate, but only collected a small part of the harvest, we...."
Lu Zhi interrupted impatiently: "Enough, Poor Dao only asks you two points, how did you get the land under your Shaolin name?" Why do you dare to ignore the laws of the land? In his own name, to avoid taxes for the people? ”
"Also, you Shaolin now, I'm afraid that the monks in the temple are close to more than a thousand, right? How many of them have become monks to avoid trouble? ”
"I heard that this big Shaolin Temple is about to be unable to accommodate these big Buddhas, so you Shaolin are ready to open a branch temple in Napu/Tian, right?"
This group of monks really doesn't know how to write dead characters!
How did so much land come from under the name of Shaolin? Believers take the initiative to donate it! If it's just a little bit, it doesn't matter.
But in the territory of Songshan, almost all the land within a radius of 100 miles is hung under the door of Shaolin!
And more importantly, why did those people offer the land to Shaolin? Because Shaolin Temple doesn't have to pay taxes! And Shaolin helping those people to be exempt from taxes seems to be a good thing with immeasurable merit, but for the imperial court, this is simply the way to die!
You use the interests of the country to seek personal interests for yourself and earn fame, you are kind to the people, and the people are grateful to you Shaolin, but it seriously affects the operation of the country... Is it really unfavorable to be the knife in the hands of the old Zhao family?
In addition, over the years, Shaolin has not known how many monks it has recruited, and it is just a matter of not taking the initiative to report to the imperial court.
After killing someone from his hometown, he fled to Shaolin, escaped into the empty gate to avoid pursuit, the villains who had committed a lot of evil deeds, and those who might go to hell after death, hurry up to find the Buddha to hold the Buddha's feet...
Flower picking thieves, river and foreign thieves, local tyrants and inferior gentry, scattered people in the rivers and lakes... There is no Shaolin Temple that does not dare to accept it, and if you really mix up the name of a Buddhist disciple, you can put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha?
If it weren't for the fact that this is a martial arts world, even the secular imperial power can't do everything, I'm afraid there is no need for Lu Zhi to come to the door today to find trouble, the old Zhao family would have already cleaned up these monks!
Lu Zhi didn't bother to talk nonsense with this group of monks, he didn't know the overall situation and thought that he had great merit, this kind of person couldn't clean them up well, how could he know where he was wrong.
"Senpai." Lu Zhi looked at the sweeping monk, "Do you really want to embarrass this Murong Bo and us?" ”
The sweeping monk lowered his eyelids slightly, and said like a dream: "Even if he deserves it, the old monk can't help but protect him." ”
"Please also ask the real person to open up and let the old monk leave with him, the old monk promises that from now on, he will take him back to the mountains and forests, and from then on, the green lantern ancient Buddha will live his life, and he will not be able to come out to do evil again."
Lu Zhi was silent and let Murong Bo go? No way!
Seeing his resolute attitude, the sweeping monk had no choice but to turn to Qiao Feng again.
"Master Qiao, the old monk can regulate your father's body and dissolve the anger accumulated in his body, just hope to be able to resolve the enmity between the old benefactor Murong Bo and you."
Hearing this, Qiao Feng couldn't help but show a hint of hesitation on his face, he had to avenge this big revenge, but Xiao Yuanshan's life must also be saved...
"Feng'er, no.. Leave me alone... My old life, I should be... I went with your mother thirty years ago. Surviving so far, it is in order to one day be able to slash this old Murong Bo thief... For.. Revenge for your mother. ”
But it was Xiao Yuanshan who spoke up, telling Qiao Feng not to worry about him, his deep hatred for this Murong Bo could not be resolved no matter what!
"The child got it!"
"Hey..."The sweeping monk sighed helplessly, and he also knew that today's events were destined to be unbelievable.
In the next moment, he suddenly moved, his body was like the wind, and when he grabbed Murong Bo, he instantly swept in the direction of the back mountain, the speed was so fast that it was like that thunder and lightning, everyone was just a flower in front of them, and the two of them lost their sight.
"Stop!"
"Don't want to run away!"
Lu Zhi and Qiao Feng also followed in an instant, chasing all the way, but the light skill of the sweeping monk was incredibly fast, really almost ghostly, but in an instant, he had already swept out of the field and flew straight to the mountains and forests behind him.
The light skill and speed of this sweeping monk already have a bit of a sense of shrinking the ground, just one step, it has already crossed a few zhang away, if it is not for a big man like Murong Bo in his hand, it will inevitably affect his speed somewhat, I am afraid that even Lu Zhi may not be able to catch up with this old monk!
Several people quickly flew towards the back mountain one after the other, and Qiao Feng slowly distanced himself from Lu Zhi and the sweeping monk in front of him... The light skills of these two people are not comparable to him.
The light skills of the sweeping monk have reached the point where they have returned to the basics, almost shrinking the ground into inches, and Lu Zhi is almost like flying into the sky, with his profound true qi and supreme body technique, the figures of the two are almost to the point that ordinary people can't capture them at all, and can only see two blurry afterimages.
Yes, within a cup of tea, Qiao Feng could barely catch up with the backs of the two, but the further back, the distance between him and the two became more and more distant, and in the end, even the backs of the two were no longer visible!
Whew..
The mountains and forests on both sides quickly retreated, and Lu Zhi and the sweeping monk went one after the other, but in a short moment, they had already crossed this mountain forest and came to the peaks further behind.
Seeing that the sweeping monk couldn't shake off Lu Zhi, he was running with all his might, and he was able to pull out part of his mind, raise his palm and press it back.
Wave!
There was a sound of air shock, and a thick splitting palm force suddenly hit Lu Zhi, forcing him to change his position in an instant and avoid this palm.
Rumble! With a loud bang, the mountains and forests exploded, and a giant tree the thickness of a bucket was directly smashed into a sky of broken branches by the sweeping monk's palm!
Lu Zhi was not to be outdone, and when he raised his finger, he shot out with a rushing sword, shooting straight into the back of the sweeping monk!
But the sweeping monk just shook his body, and then he actually returned the sword with a backhand punch to Lu Zhi!
“!!!”
Lu Zhi's eyes widened fiercely, and some kind of astonishing guess instantly appeared in his heart.
But he didn't dare to continue to think deeply, so he quickly regained all his thoughts, and shot out a six-vein divine sword again, canceling out the reflected mid-rush sword volley.
Rumble!
Between the collision of sword qi, a huge impact suddenly exploded in the mountains and forests, the earth waves flew, the fallen leaves flew, and the momentum of Lu Zhi's forward rush was inevitably blocked for a moment, and he was instantly distanced by the sweeping monk.
Lu Zhi's eyes froze, and he burst out of his true qi again and chased after him, and at the same time, a burst of thoughts surged in his heart.
It shouldn't be wrong, what this sweeping monk used just now must be the one who turns the stars!
And if he can transfer the Zhongchong Sword back, he must have studied the kung fu of the six-vein divine sword, even if he doesn't know it, he must have fought with the person who has the martial art of the six-vein divine sword!
But for so many years, in addition to Lu Zhi, only its founder, Duan Siping, has completely mastered this divine skill.... The sweeping monk must have fought with Duan Siping back then, and more than once or twice.
So the identity of the sweeping monk... Go without saying.
