In Chang'an City, the current saint Zhao Yuankui sat behind his dragon case, frowning and listening to the reports of the people below.

"Your Majesty, the Shaolin Temple led the Central Plains martial arts people, went to the outside of the Saiwai and fought a bloody battle with a martial arts sect, and suffered heavy casualties, not only the elite of the Zhonglin martial arts were almost killed and wounded, but even the abbot of the Shaolin Temple, the monk of the First Ring, finally died with Na Ding. ”

"Is this serious?"

"It's true! We found several martial arts people who survived the first battle outside the Saiwai, they all said that they saw Yijie and Ding Buji die together, in order to avoid a mistake, we also asked a lot about the situation at the time, and their answers were the same, it must be true. ”

"Then who is serving as the abbot of Shaolin Temple now?"

"Your Majesty, your imperial uncle is in charge, and now he is called the abbot of a lamp, but it is said that he has lost his skills, and now he is cultivating in the abbot's courtyard, not only has he lost his skills, but everyone who went this time, even if they came back alive, they all had no skills. ”

Hearing the confirmation of his subordinates, Zhao Yuankui let out a long breath, and the whole person leaned softly on the dragon chair.

"I really didn't expect that someone like Yijie would die!"

Zhao Yuankui was muttering to himself, and the people below were stunned when they heard it, what is so strange about dying? Who wouldn't die?

"It's ridiculous, I once thought that a monk like Yijie was really the incarnation of gods and Buddhas, maybe he could really live forever, to be honest, I was really afraid of this person in my heart. ”

In front of his henchmen, Zhao Yuankui didn't have any scruples when he spoke, maybe it was Huo Yuan's real death that made him really relaxed, and he dared to say a lot of things.

"Your Majesty, even if the monk of the First Ring does not die. He won't pose any threat to our court, will he?"

"How to say this, he may not be in trouble, but what we have to guard against is the power of their religion. ”

Zhao Yuankui's face became solemn, "I have been paying attention to the situation of Shaolin Temple, their prestige among the people is very high, and countless people have become their believers, if the Shaolin abbot stands up and ascends to the heights." I'm afraid that thousands of people will respond, and at that time, my country will be unstable. ”

"It's okay if Yijie has been serving as the abbot, this monk. There is an otherworldly temperament, I believe, he will not come to fight for this world, but once he is not the abbot. I'm going to beware of the next abbot's bad intentions. ”

"Your Majesty, but now the abbot. It's your imperial uncle!"

Zhao Yuankui nodded with a cloudy face: "Yes, it's my imperial uncle, but don't forget one thing, my imperial uncle is also a member of the royal family." If he wants to get something, then it will be more justified. ”

"Your Majesty. They've all lost their martial arts, so they can't make any big deals!"

"Have you ever found out if these people continue to practice when they return to Shaolin after they lose their martial arts?"

"I've investigated, these people are indeed still cultivating. ”

"That's right. The loss of martial arts is only temporary, and sooner or later it will be restored. Their Shaolin Temple is already the first in the world, and the people in the rivers and lakes no longer have opponents, so why do they still practice such high martial arts? Once they can't find an opponent in the rivers and lakes, it is inevitable that they will have some other thoughts, and we have to guard against them. ”

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

Zhao Yuankui paced back and forth, walked for a while, and finally stopped as if he had made up his mind, standing on the Jinluan Palace, his eyes were firm: " At the beginning, I was able to achieve this position, thanks to the abbot of the first ring, if the abbot of the first ring has been the abbot, I would not worry about anything, but now that the person has been replaced, the abbot of the first ring is no longer there, then the Shaolin Temple is not the original Shaolin Temple, in this case, let this influential temple disappear from now on, lest it fall into the hands of people with improper intentions, and give birth to some meaningless incidents. ”

The people below listened and nodded frequently, although Zhao Yuankui's method was vicious, but it was really the best method, those in power generally would not let the religious power grow, not to mention that it was a royal person who became the leader of this force, Zhao Yuankui's worries were inevitable.

"Spread my will, let General Zhang of Luoyang lead 20,000 soldiers to attack Shaolin Temple immediately, the main force of those monks has no strength at this time, and the rest of the people can fight again, see if they can resist the siege of 50,000 troops!"

The people below received the will and left, leaving Zhao Yuankui to sit back on the dragon chair alone, looking out the window with his eyes, and said to himself: "Abbot Yijie, I'm sorry, Uncle Huang, I'm sorry, I can't help it, for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, I can only do this." ”

He was thinking about these questions when a person suddenly walked in from outside the Golden Luan Palace.

"Who are you?ah! There are assassins! escorts! escorts!"

Coming in from outside was a young man in brocade, with long eyebrows and clear eyes, very handsome, holding a folding fan in his hand and a sword behind his back, he staggered in, looking at Zhao Yuankui smiling.

"Zhao Yuankui, Your Majesty!"

This person first called Zhao Yuankui, and then shouted at the emperor, Zhao Yuankui was so frightened that he almost fell off the chair.

"Where are all the people dead!?Get out of here and take down this madman for me!"

"You don't have to scream, the guards around the palace now think they're dead, I'll let them go and enjoy the taste of the underworld. ”

Zhao Yuankui shouted hoarsely for a long time, but no one came in, and finally he was scared, looked around, and found a hanging sword on the wall behind.

"Zheng!" Zhao Yuankui put the sword in his hand and said to the young man tremblingly: "Who are you?

The young man looked at Zhao Yuankui's clumsy movements and smiled: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I want you to die, no one in the world can save you, I came here just to see what a villain the saint is today?

"You have heard it all! Although there is something wrong with me, the abbot of the First Ring is dead. ”

"Then are you going to attack the Shaolin Temple!"

The young man suddenly became angry, waved his hand violently, slapped out with a palm, and the void slapped out, and actually slapped a palm print on the ground!

Zhao Yuankui trembled with fright, what is this kid doing? You must not offend him at this time, otherwise your life will be in danger.

"Then I told my subordinates to come back, and if I don't go to deliver the decree, the hero should be angry!"

Zhao Yuankui finally relented, the more high-ranking people are, the more they regret their lives.

Unexpectedly, the young man waved his hand: "No need, you have no jokes, since you have already made an order, how can you not carry it out? Let your army attack the Shaolin Temple." ”

"But but!"

"No need, so your Majesty, how about we make a bet?"

"How to bet?"

"Didn't you send 20,000 troops to attack the Shaolin Temple?

Zhao Yuankui paused for a moment, and then said very confidently: "If the abbot of the first ring is still there, even if I am given 200,000 troops, I will not have the confidence to win, but now that the abbot of the first ring is gone, the masters of Shaolin have also lost their martial arts, I have already investigated, in Shaolin, now there are only a few masters such as Yijing, Huijian, Huiwu, Huiniu, etc., which is not enough to stop my army, so we will win this battle." ”

"Well, since the emperor is so confident, let's gamble, if the Shaolin Temple loses this battle, it will be wiped out, if Shaolin wins this battle, then the emperor will have to work hard." ”

"What do you want me to do?"

The atmosphere of the conversation was not tense, and the young man did not seem to have any malicious intent, and Zhao Yuankui gradually relaxed and regained his bearing as an emperor.

"It's very simple, the emperor, you just work hard, go to Shaolin Temple, and then hang a plaque at our mountain gate, you will personally inscribe on the spot, and write a plaque of "the first temple in the world"!"

"Write a plaque, it's easy, no problem. ”

"It's not over, you not only have to write this, but also on the Shaolin martial arts field, you also have to write a plaque, just write the words "The world's martial arts are out of Shaolin". Moreover, these two plaques must be written in public so that the people of the world can see them. ”

Zhao Yuankui paused for a moment, these two conditions were a bit harsh, but he believed that his army would not fail, so he nodded and agreed.

"There is one last point, that is, if you fail, after you finish writing the plaque, you will leave such a clause on the ancestral teachings, as long as it is your descendant, no matter who is in power, you are not allowed to go to the trouble of the Shaolin Temple, and the Shaolin Temple will definitely not involve royal affairs. ”

"Isn't this equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death!"

"Yes, that's what it means, the future of Shaolin can no longer be harassed by you people, and it is better for you to interfere less in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, not to mention that in the future, the martial arts of the people in Shaolin will recover, and if you act recklessly, you can only ask for hardship. ”

Zhao Yuankui thought for a long time, and finally nodded with difficulty, now that he is under the eaves, he has to bow his head.

After saying these things, the young man walked up to Zhao Yuankui, and as soon as he raised his hand, he pushed Zhao Yuankui aside, and sat on the dragon chair with his buttocks.

Zhao Yuankui's face changed suddenly, he had a heart attack but he didn't dare, so he could only puff out his eyes and look at the young man.

The young man moved back and forth a few times: "This chair is really not very good, it is useless except that it looks good, it is not as comfortable as a futon to sit on, forget it, let's sit on it for you." ”

After saying that, the young man stood up and walked outside.

Walking out without looking back, he said as he walked: "I believe that the battle over there will soon be a result, remember, I will live in the cold palace in your palace for the past few days and wait for the news, remember, one is the first temple in the world, and the other is the world's martial arts out of Shaolin, these two plaques must be written, these days, you can practice the words well, if the writing does not satisfy me, be careful to let you rewrite in front of the people!"
