Chapter 154: Into Shaolin
On an official road, a lady with broken hands, gray hair, and a withered face like an old decrepit face was walking slowly.
She had a hard time. His arms trembled from time to time, and the broken part of his wrist even emitted a fishy smell. Apparently he was very infected.
The sharp pain made her forehead sweat slightly. The weakness of her body made it even more difficult for her to walk. But she kept walking.
Just by looking at her appearance, she is undoubtedly synonymous with a strong, forbearing, and powerful woman. I believe that in this era, there are few people who can insist on walking such a long distance under her injury.
But if anyone knew her, they would. She is not a woman who deserves the sympathy of others, because her grinding name is Ye Erniang.
At the same time, Xuan Ci, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, is also falling into a kind of entanglement.
Not long ago, he met a man who had brought a secret letter. The letter was written by some of his old friends. Some of the things mentioned above that he tried to hide and even forget over the years.
Xuan Ci is a monk, but don't forget, he is the ceiling of the monks, the abbot of the Shaolin Temple. Whether it is martial arts, IQ, or emotional intelligence, he is bound to be the best choice.
He had long expected such a day. It's just that Xuan Ci before has always tried to keep himself out of the matter. Because he knew very well that the man was not easy to mess with.
But this time, these old friends have cornered themselves. He couldn't stay out of it, because he was also involved in what happened back then. It's not even just about participating, he's also the leader, and he's been called the big brother in the lead.
More than thirty years ago, Xuan Ci received a message from an old friend. It is said that there is a group of Khitan martial arts masters who want to come to the Central Plains to steal the martial arts secrets in the Shaolin Scripture Pavilion.
When Xuan Ci heard this, this was worth it. Without doing any investigation, he directly summoned a group of fellow Jianghu people and besieged and killed the group of Khitans at Yanmen Pass.
However, after making a move, Xuan Ci sensed that something was wrong. Those Khitan people are definitely not a group of so-called martial arts masters. Because among them, there are even women who don't know martial arts and children who have just spoken out. Those people were Qiao Feng's father, as well as his mother, and the newborn Qiao Feng. Of course, Qiao Feng's nature should be surnamed Xiao. His father's name is Xiao Yuanshan.
But at that time, there was no turning back. Xuan Ci only remembered that among those Khitans, there was a real master. Killed by one person, the Central Plains martial arts heroes were defeated.
In fact, Xiao Yuanshan had the ability to kill everyone at that time. But he saw that his wife and children were dead. It's already like a dead heart.
Therefore, after subduing the last few people, there was no killer. Instead, the truth of the matter was carved on the stone wall on the side in Khitan language. It is estimated that at that time, he realized that both these Song people and himself were being used.
It's just that at that time, he was bent on dying and didn't want to pay attention to these things at all. So he jumped off the cliff directly with the bodies of his wife and children. But when the body fell, he realized that the child was still alive. So luck and threw the child to the ground. This child is Xiao Feng.
Several martial arts people alive in the Song people, that is, Xuan Ci and others, after some discussion. decided to adopt the child, and at the foot of the Shaolin Temple Mountain, found a couple surnamed Qiao to raise him. Therefore, Xiao Feng became Qiao Feng.
This is the truth of the tragedy of Yanmen Pass back then. It's just that the Yanmen Pass incident has passed. But the whole thing is far from over. The whole tragedy was caused by a misintelligence. Therefore, the first thing to be investigated is naturally the person who provided the information.
It's just that when Xuan Ci and the others found Murong Bo, the other party was already dead. So the clue was broken, and Xuan Ci and the others returned. Bury this thing deep in your heart.
But when Xuan Ci received the letter, he knew that some people still couldn't bear it.
Xuan Ci is actually not very optimistic about the beggar gang. Although the beggars have a good reputation, there are many of them. He also took an active part in various wars to defend his home and country. But in reality, they are not at the expense of those in power. At the same time, there are many contradictions within themselves.
Position yourself on beggars, for a large organization
is a huge failure in itself. Xuan Ci may not be able to give these specific explanations. But his abbot experience told himself. The beggar gang, which is too loose and large, will inevitably not be able to settle down.
He is one of Qiao Feng's guardians, watching Qiao Feng grow up. I know what an excellent leader Qiao Feng is. As a martial arts sect, Qiao Feng is not only high in martial arts. And the emotional intelligence is also high, and he can easily control most of the elders in the beggar gang.
Clean up a large number of beggar tumors, enhance the reputation of the gang, and unite the strength of the gang. The entire beggar gang is run to a higher level than the previous Wang Jiantong.
Xuan Ci even felt that if Qiao Feng could continue to serve as the leader of the beggar gang. This gang may be reborn and truly dominate the rivers and lakes. It's a pity that he can see it, but those old friends, those opportunists in the beggar gang, can't see it. They don't understand that half of the reason why they are able to have their current status as the leader of the beggar gang is because Qiao Feng is the gang leader.
And once the beggar gang loses Qiao Feng, this group of wastes will immediately be revealed.
Of course, Xuan Ci sees it thoroughly, but he won't break through this kind of thing. After all, whether it is from the perspective of personal or sectarian interests, if Qiao Feng can disappear completely and let the beggars have internal strife, it will be a good thing.
So, this thing is naturally to be done. But it is absolutely impossible for me to come forward directly. And he also knows what the group of waste of the beggar gang, as well as a few old friends back then, are. There has to be a respectable person in this matter, Xuan Ci thought of his old friend, Zen Master Zhiguang.
And the man who came with the letter was convinced of his plan. Compared to this, the layout should already be underway. In time, Shaolin's only opponent in the rivers and lakes, the beggars who are in the middle of the day, will destroy the Great Wall. Thinking of this, Xuan Ci's mood couldn't help but be very good.
But at this time, a little novice brought a piece of news. There was a young man who wanted to see him. The opponent's martial arts are strong, although he didn't hurt anyone, but the disciples in the front yard couldn't stop it.
Xuan Ci's good mood disappeared suddenly. Over the years, I don't know how many young talents want to make a name for themselves in Shaolin Temple. But there is no doubt that they are all obedient to Shaolin education.
But those who can break through the front yard are not worth seeing. Thinking of this, Xuan Ci decided to go out and have a look.
It's just that this look, the originally not very good mood has directly turned into an abyss.
