Chapter 218: Sorrow and Compassion
This matter is no longer something that Xuan Nan can decide alone, at the moment, Xuan Nan summoned someone to inform Xuan Lone, and asked his disciples to inform Xuan Ci first, and Xuan Nan himself reflexively led Cao Zinuo towards the Daxiong Treasure Palace.
Entering along the Daxiong Treasure Hall and passing through the rear hall gate, Xuan Nan walked all the way to the backyard of Shaolin Temple with Cao Zinuo.
After Cao Zinuo and others passed, a team of warrior monks ran out quickly, completely blocking the road in the rear, but what Cao Zinuo said before was already appalling, although Shaolin was no longer the protector of the Tang Dynasty, but the word chivalrous was to let Shaolin not do anything in the face of someone who wanted to rebel.
What's more, it was Shaolin's old rival Mingjiao who rebelled.
It is not chivalrous, Shaolin will never be able to let the Mingjiao rebellion succeed, joking things, if the Mingjiao rebellion succeeds, then Shaolin can only be disbanded, hundreds of years of grievances, if the Mingjiao is established in one fell swoop, not to mention that Manichaeism will be established as the state religion, and Shaolin has a sectarian conflict, that is, the mortal feud formed from generation to generation is enough for the Mingjiao to destroy Shaolin at all costs.
led Cao Zinuo to walk back quickly, and soon, a group of people appeared in a quiet courtyard, but a kind monk was already waiting there, this monk alone said that his appearance is definitely not as good as Xuan Ci in any general film and television, but the temperament on his body is not filmed in any version of film and television, and as Cao Zinuo and others enter this small courtyard, the surrounding atmosphere seems to be solemn.
Cao Zinuo could hear countless footsteps in his ears, but it surrounded this small courtyard inside and out, at this time. The entire Shaolin Temple has become a terrifying place like the tiger's den in Longtan. No matter which master on the rivers and lakes wants to sneak into Shaolin silently at this time, it is an act of looking for death.
Cao Zinuo restrained his mind. Ignoring the outside affairs, he slowly walked up to the great monk and saluted.
This Xuan Ci is the abbot of Shaolin, in the original work, the rivers and lakes described by Jin Lao are too exciting, and more people's attention is focused on Qiao Feng's bravery, Duan Yu's infatuation and his adventure with Xuzhu, as well as those magical martial arts, but few people pay attention to Xuan Ci.
Even if the most reluctant, Xuan Ci and Ye Erniang and Xuzhu recognize each other. In the end, the shame of Shaolin was washed away at the cost of his life, but it was only a flash in the pan.
After all, the original Xuan Ci is just a soy sauce party, but, here, in this real world, the four words of Shaolin abbot represent great energy and incomparable identity.
No matter how confident Cao Zinuo is to defeat Xuan Ci, he must not be rude to Xuan Ci.
In fact, there is only Li Qiushui in this world. Wu Xingyun and others can ignore Xuan Ci, except for this. Even Murong Bo, Gu Mozhi and others would never ignore Xuan Ci.
The two sides sat down, and Cao Zinuo told Xuan Ci what he had said to Xuan Nan before, and in the process, Xuan Ci even asked about Huang Shang in detail.
Although Cao Zinuo didn't know much about it, he also talked about it in detail according to the record in the book Condor Shooting, but after that, Xuan Ci was silent.
Looking at the silent Xuan Ci, a thought suddenly popped up in Cao Zinuo's heart.
That Murong Bo's identity, Xuan Ci is afraid that it is also clear, although he should not know about Murong Bo's ambition to restore the country, but he should know that Murong Bo is a descendant of Xianbei, or even know that Murong Bo is a descendant of the Xianbei royal family.
It's just that at this time, Xuan Ci was afraid that he thought that Murong Bo had already died, so this old monk was unwilling to ruin Murong Bo's reputation.
When Cao Zinuo looked at Xuan Ci, the latter looked indifferent, in fact, as Cao Zinuo expected, Xuan Ci did know more than Cao Zinuo imagined, but the old monk's heart at this time was also extremely complicated.
This Tianlong Shilu Realm is an extremely strange world, Bai Shijing can kill Ma Dayuan, but he would rather die than betray Qiao Feng, and was forced by Kang Min to even commit suicide to defend Qiao Feng, and Tan Gong Tan Po and others are also average, in order to maintain Xuan Ci's reputation, they will not say what Xuan Ci did wrong back then, even if he dies.
Now, Xuan Ci is also the same, he already knows that what happened back then was a mistake, but he would rather die than destroy Murong Bo's reputation.
And even if he knew the identity of the descendant of the Xianbei clan of the Murong family, Xuan Ci would only think that it was the descendant of Murong Bo who was confused for a while.
And because of his relationship with Murong Bo, Xuan Ci's first thought was not to tell Cao Zinuo Murong Fu's identity, but to destroy Mingjiao's ambitions, so as not to implicate Mingjiao in the Murong family.
The magic skills that can simulate the martial arts of his sect, whether it is the Murong family or the Ming Sect, have it, but Xuan Ci counted it on the head of the Ming Sect for the first time.
It's just that this is not because of Xuan Ci's favoritism, but because Xuan Ci knows that although North Qiao Feng and South Murong blow a good atmosphere, Murong Fu's reputation mostly comes from the ancestors of the Murong family, with Murong Fu's martial arts at this time, it may be possible to defeat Xuan Ku, but it is absolutely impossible to kill Xuan Ku silently, and no one in the Xuan Zi generation knows the strength of several senior brothers better than Xuan Ci.
"Xuan Nan, in a few days, you can take a few disciples to Jiangnan to have a look, if it really doesn't work, let the lay disciples in Jiangnan move."
After a long time, Xuan Ci suddenly sighed and spoke, and when he said the last sentence, his expression was even more solemn, but Xuan Yan and Xuan Lone's eyes looked at Cao Zinuo together, and their eyes subconsciously showed a vigilant look.
Cao Zinuo was slightly stunned, but then he was stunned, his eyes widened to reveal a look of surprise.
Lay disciples, this is the Tang Dynasty Shaolin Temple appeared in the new force, since the Northern Wei Dynasty Dharma Dongdu to create a Shaolin lineage, this was originally just a Buddhist temple in the Taoist holy land began to be active, to the early Tang Dynasty coincidentally saved Li Shimin is even more famous.
And Li Shimin's later holy decree to let Shaolin recruit lay disciples to train military generals for the imperial court pushed Shaolin's strength to the extreme, which is also the reason why Shaolin was active in martial arts and battlefields during the reign of the Tang Dynasty.
However, since Zhao Kuangyin founded the country and greatly reduced the power of military generals, Shaolin has also begun to converge, especially in the past hundred years, almost never heard of the existence of Shaolin lay disciples on the rivers and lakes.
Because I didn't think about this when I read the original book, Cao Zinuo, who entered this plot, didn't pay attention to this matter.
At this time, Xuan Ci's words made Cao Zinuo suddenly startled, indeed, if there were no lay disciples in Shaolin at this time, then what would be the matter with Zhou Tong, and there was no Yue Fei where Zhou Tong came from.
Obviously, there are still lay disciples in Shaolin, but these lay disciples seem to be hidden in the shadows.
Perhaps, to be more direct, maybe these lay disciples are either hidden in the shadows, or they are all controlled in the hands of the imperial court, according to the records of Yue, as well as Water Margin, etc., Zhou Tong is the head of the forbidden army, and his disciple Lin Chong is also the head of the forbidden army, and even Lu Junyi is afraid that he will be an official if he is not a big asset.
This usually seems to be nothing, but at this time, it can be found that Zhou Tong's branch can be passed down in one line, but this is inconsistent with the rules of the officialdom of the Song Dynasty.
This Heavenly Dragon's world seems to be a bit interesting.
Cao Zinuo smiled secretly, but he didn't ask in detail, in fact, from the beginning of the Xiaoyao event, Cao Zinuo felt that the Song Dynasty established by Zhao Kuangyin seemed to have an unclear relationship with Wulin, whether it was the Xiaoyao faction, the Mingjiao, or the current Shaolin, it seemed that they were all involved with this court.
The big thing is that the Song Dynasty is not allowed to unify the world, and there is no order to destroy the country, so it can be seen that the matter is by no means as simple as Zhao Kuangyin or any predecessor of Zhao Song and Xiaoyaozi.
Moreover, not only Zhao Song, I'm afraid it's not so simple on the Khitan side, Tianlong's original work, the Khitan doesn't seem to have any masters.
However, obviously this is impossible, not to mention anything else, Xiao Yuanshan, although his master is a Han, but it is impossible for a Han person to run to the Khitan to teach a disciple, and what is even more strange is that his master's martial arts are afraid to be outrageously high.
Thirty years ago, Xuan Ci and others were not very old, but Xiao Yuanshan was not very old, but looking at Xiao Yuanshan's achievements, Xuan Ci, Wang Jiantong, which of these bits and pieces of dozens of people was not the leader of the younger generation of martial arts in the Central Plains at that time, but more than ten years later, all of them were the heroes of one side, and even the leaders of Shaolin, the Beggar Gang, and Wutai.
However, it is these young heroes, the future leaders of the Gate Sect, but they have no enemies under Xiao Yuanshan.
This alone can see how strong the Han people who taught Xiao Yuanshan's martial arts were.
I am afraid that no one can force him to do anything, although this person's martial arts may not be as good as Wu Xingyun and Li Qiushui and others, but it must be higher than the current ninety-nine percent of the people in the Heavenly Dragon World Realm.
In this world, it is said that the three kingdoms stand side by side, but in fact, it is a world like Huang Daxia and the Tang Dynasty, where the country and martial arts, the emperor and the peerless master, often have a relationship between cutting and untidy and chaotic.
Cao Zinuo sighed secretly, but he didn't say anything, in fact, it is not difficult to understand, this world is the world of martial arts, Shaolin is such a strong sect, and it is not like the beggars are all asking for food, hidden among the millions of people called Huazi in the world, which emperor in power can ignore this force.
Xuan Ci's words fell, Cao Zinuo was silent, Xuan Yan and Xuan Lin were slightly shocked but also calm, after all, they are also high-ranking monks, but they will not want to kill people or anything because of the leakage of secrets.
It's just that, at this time, suddenly a majestic voice came from far away from the front yard of Shaolin. (To be continued......)
