Huifeng saw that Xu Zhi saved himself, and he was very grateful, but because of the situation of the enemy and me, even if the brothers had a thousand words, it was inconvenient for them to complain to each other at this moment, so they had to thank Xu Zhi, and took out a package from his arms and threw it to Xu Zhidao: "Brother Xu, this is the clothes you lost in Dengfeng, the younger brother found it back for you, please accept it!"

Xu Zhi took the package and calmly replied in front of the monks: "Brother Hui, I bothered you, thank you for your help!"

Before Xu Zhi's words fell, he saw a heroic female general in the official army. The female general, dressed in white armor and silver armor, holding a jade flute in her left hand and a sword in her right hand, rushed towards her without calling for battle.

Xu Zhi saw that the female general was He Mengjiao who he met the day before yesterday. Xu Zhi was reluctant to fight with him, and dodged one of her swords sideways. Xu Zhi saw He Mengjiao's serious face, and was wondering why, and saw her stabbing her from behind with a sword.

Xu Zhi dodged sideways again, jumped behind He Mengjiao, and when he was back to back with her, he asked softly, "Miss He, why is this?"

He Mengjiao gently flicked away the Fengming Sword in Xu Zhi's hand with Yuxiao, and replied softly: "Brother Xu, little sister thought she would never see you again." Before he finished speaking, tears flowed down like rain.

Xu Zhi knew the pain of lovesickness in He Mengjiao's heart, and sighed lightly: "Miss He, your eldest brother is not dead, don't be sad!", He Mengjiao turned her sadness into a smile and pursed her mouth "um". The two pretended to fight while talking to themselves. He Mengjiao briefly told Xu Zhi how she had defected to the court and her hardships, and finally said with a smile: "The little sister is afraid that the court will be unfavorable to the eldest brother, so she is willing to be the eagle dog of the princess of the court, and I ask the eldest brother to forgive the little sister's hardships!"

When Xu Zhi heard this, he was very moved, and whimpered: "Mengjiao, why are you suffering? In fact, the eldest brother has only one wish in his heart: that is, I hope you can be happy and safe forever!"

He Mengjiao replied: "Thank you, eldest brother, for still thinking about my little sister in my heart, now is not the time to speak." Although the two sides are currently fighting and no one is paying attention to us, after a long time, our frivolous fight will make people see the flaws. Brother Xu, defeat me quickly, you and I will be separated!"

Xu Zhi nodded in understanding, and suddenly waved the Fengming sword and picked off the jade flute in He Mengjiao's hand. He Mengjiao deliberately took a few steps back, fell to the ground, hurriedly picked up the jade flute from the ground, and fled back to Li Xiuyun's side in embarrassment.

Li Xiuyun saw that He Mengjiao fought against Xu Zhi regardless of her own safety, and saw that she fought for nearly 300 rounds before losing to Xu Zhi, so she didn't blame her, but stepped forward to comfort: "Sister He! Thank you for fighting for your little sister! Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and I hope my sister will not take this competition to heart." ”

He Mengjiao pretended to be ashamed and said: "Thank you princess for your concern, my subordinates disappointed the princess!"

Li Xiuyun saw He Mengjiao staring intently ahead, and muttered: "Xu Zhi only used a hundred moves to defeat Shaolin Liming, but it took nearly three hundred moves to defeat Sister He, this Xu Zhi is really unpredictable!"

Li Xiuyun's muttered words to herself were heard clearly by the red leaves beside her, and red leaves smiled and said, "Princess, what is so difficult to understand this truth!"

Li Xiuyun saw that there was something in Hongye's words, and asked: "Hongye, don't be pretentious, how can you explain this matter?"

Hongye replied, "Because the name is a man, Sister He is a beautiful girl, that Xu Zhi must have thought about Sister He and deliberately entangled with her." ”

Li Xiuyun was a little disappointed when she heard this: "Alas, so that's the case!"

Hongye didn't continue to talk, but pointed to Yun Feiyang in the distance, and said to Li Xiuyun: "Princess, look, our Yun General is one against two, but he is brave and powerful!", Li Xiuyun listened, no longer cranky, and quickly turned his gaze to Yun Feiyang.

At this time, because he and Lichen were teaming up to deal with Yun Feiyang's elusive Nine Dragon Whip, the two of them attacked Yun Feiyang on both sides of the front, and the three of them were fighting inseparably, and Mingming also swung his sword to knock Guo Sheng back.

Yun Feiyang looked around, and saw that the Shaolin monks were becoming more and more courageous, and the officers and soldiers were defeated and retreated, so he hurriedly withdrew the Nine Dragons Whip, jumped out of the side attack of Yin and Chen, pulled Zhou Chen and Huifeng, took dozens of steps back, and shouted: "The officers and soldiers of the front team are a hundred steps back, and the archers of the rear team are ready, if the monks continue to resist, they will be killed!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Master Zhixin hurriedly shouted: "My Shaolin disciple listened to the order, and fought and retreated, quickly withdraw to the Shaolin Temple!", just finished speaking, a rain of arrows fell from the sky, and all the warrior monks danced the sticks in their hands to knock down the flying arrows beside them.

Lichen said to Master Zhixin: "Now that the situation is urgent, please lead the senior brothers to retreat first, and I and Senior Brother Kong will temporarily retreat!"

Xu Zhi said: "Master Zhixin, I am willing to follow the two senior brothers to block the strong enemy!"

An Jingsi and Xue Atan also followed: "We are also willing to follow Brother Xu to kill the enemy together!"

Zhixin saw Chen, Xu Zhi and others when everyone was in danger, and stepped forward and praised loudly: "Okay!

Lichen, Likong, Xu Zhi and others fought and retreated, the Shaolin monks saw the fierceness of the officers and soldiers, and hid in the pine and bamboo forests of Shaomu Mountain, Yun Feiyang commanded the army to chase all the way, but saw the dust in the pine and bamboo forests, afraid of being ambushed, and hurriedly ordered the officers and soldiers not to continue to chase, but to keep throwing arrows and guns into the bamboo forest.

Although Xu Zhi and others are superb in martial arts, they can't resist the chaotic arrows flying in the sky, several people have been hit by several arrows, but they are still struggling to support in the back, shouting loudly, until everyone retreats into the Shaolin Temple, a few people are relieved, retreat into the temple, and close the mountain gate.

Zhixin saw that Chen, Xu Zhi and others were all injured, and the wounds kept bleeding, and hurriedly ordered the injured disciples to be arranged to recuperate in the most hidden meditation hall in the Shaolin Temple, while personally reporting the incident to Zhicheng and Zhide Zen Master.

After Master Zhide knew the reason for the incident, he said to Zhixin: "Senior brother, you are too hasty in doing things, how can you not discuss with the abbot and several senior monks for such a big thing as breaking through the camp, but believe the words of the disciples!"

Zhixin defended: "The two senior brothers forgive their sins, the junior brothers want to break through the siege of the imperial court as soon as possible, find some food to come back, and alleviate the difficulties in the temple!"

Abbot Zhicheng sighed and said: "Senior Brother Zhide, something has happened, what is the use of us blaming Senior Brother Zhixin! The key is how we can deal with the aftermath of this incident? First, the contradictions between us and the imperial court will become public, and soon they may have to mobilize a large army to besiege our Shaolin; second, there is a shortage of food and clothing in the temple, and it will become even more difficult for us to break through their encirclement again!"

Zhixin smiled bitterly: "The two senior brothers don't have to worry too much, as the so-called 'the boat goes straight to the bridge', there will always be a solution to the problem, but the old man hasn't thought of it yet." After speaking, he turned his eyes for help to Zhide.

Zhide naturally understood Zhixin's thoughts, thought for a while, and said: "Senior brother abbot, junior brother, according to the old man, we must appease the hearts of the people in the temple as soon as possible, and form a new eleven stick monks and arhat stick formations through the ring competition, whether it is to break through the siege of the imperial court or to prevent the attack of the official army, these warrior monks who protect the temple are the backbone of our future against the enemy!"

Zhide's words were not finished, and Zhixin applauded repeatedly.

The sincere abbot was steady, holding the Buddha beads, chanting several times "Amitabha Buddha", it seemed to make up his mind, sighed: "I Shaolin Temple for hundreds of years of foundation, the past generations of monks are pure heart and few desires, participate in Zen chanting, and the world has no dispute, I did not expect that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, we can only put down the Buddhist scriptures today and pick up the butcher's knife, subduing demons and subduing demons, fighting violence with violence, the Buddha is above, I hope to forgive the sins in the hearts of the disciples!", after speaking, he led the virtue and faith to the Buddha Hall and bowed a few times.

Besides, Xu Zhi and the three of them were able to risk themselves and stand up when the Shaolin monks were in trouble this time, which shows the benevolence and righteousness of the three of them, so they all looked down on the three of them and cared about the three of them from the three Shaolin monks to the ordinary monks. Xu Zhi, Xue Atan, and An Jingsi went to the Thousand Buddha Hall to peek at the Shaolin monks practicing martial arts, and everyone also knew it, turning a blind eye to it, and even Xu Zhi and the three of them openly asked for Shaolin martial arts from the cause, the empty and others, and everyone also responded to their requests and answered their questions. It's just that on the side of Luohan Hall, Lichen and the disciples are still angry and unhappy about Xu Zhi's defeat.

One night, Xu Zhi and the others had a candlestick talk. Since Xu Zhi rescued Ran from Zhou Chen, he was very grateful and close to Xu Zhi, and sat down next to Xu Zhi, and praised: "Brother Xu, I didn't expect your martial arts to be so good, that move 'Tiger's Mouth Tooth Extraction' is a stroke of genius, and this move is a stroke of genius that even Senior Brother will not ......", as soon as he finished speaking, he knew that his mouth was fast and he said the wrong thing, so he quickly looked at the cause cautiously, and defended: "Senior brother, don't misunderstand, I mean that Brother Xu's kung fu is about to catch up with you!" , this sentence is very decent, and even the air secretly gave a thumbs up.

Xu Zhi was still a little displeased when he saw it, and also explained: "I am far from the senior brother's martial arts, it is the 'dragon claw hand' that he used in the kitchen, and I haven't learned it yet!"

An Jingsi saw Xu Zhi mention the pain of learning Shaolin stunts, and also shouted bitterly: "Yes, senior brother, this trick you taught us is too difficult to learn, you see that our fingers are all worn out, and we are about to see the bones, but we still can't tear the dry bark!"

After hearing this, he stretched his brows and said with a smile: "You have only been reciting the scriptures for a few days, and you want to ascend to the sky in one step, that dragon claw hand mainly practices the strength of the fingers and wrists, and without a few years of hard training, it is impossible to exert its power!"

Xu Zhi hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Listening to Senior Brother's words, the mouth suddenly opened!", Xue Atan and An Jingsi also quickly stood up and said, "What Senior Brother said is extremely true!"

Likong suddenly asked: "Senior brother, there is still half a month to go before the competition between the Dharma Hall and the Luohan Hall, there are only eight people on our side, and there are fifteen people on the side of the Luohan Hall, I estimate that if they have a wheel battle, we have few people in the Dharma Hall, so why are they not their opponents, how is this good?"

Ran also shouted: "Yes, except for the senior brother and the second senior brother here who can suppress the Luohan Hall, our Dharma Hall has better martial arts, and they have all gone down the mountain to return to the vulgar, and the remaining few of us have mediocre martial arts, and we can't help, how is this good?"

Liao Yin sighed: "This is also what I think about day and night, and now there is only one way, which is to let Xu Zhi, Xue Atan, and An Jingsi join our Dharma Hall, so that we can hope to defeat them in the Arhat Hall!"

Before Xu Zhi could speak, Xue Atan postponed and said: "Senior brother, it's not that the junior brother doesn't pay attention to righteousness, my martial arts are the worst among the three, I only have one brute strength, how can I fight for the senior brother, in case I lose the ring competition, wouldn't it break the prestige of our Dharma Hall?"

Likong comforted: "Brother Xue, you are too modest, in fact, the eighteen martial arts of Shaolin are focused on the foundation, Brother Xue has a strong body, huge arm strength and leg strength, and he can be exempted from ten years of hard training in basic skills, this is a unique advantage, Brother Xue can learn some groundbreaking and sweeping thousands of armies and other fist and foot kung fu, in a short period of time, you will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort, as long as you remember the essentials, you should be able to defeat those disciples with poor martial arts in Luohan Hall! Senior brother, do you say?"

Seeing the reasonableness of the empty analysis, he nodded again and again. Xue Atan was also full of enthusiasm and arrogance, changed his original frightened look, and shouted loudly: "As long as you brothers can use me Xue Aniu, I will definitely not embarrass the Dharma Hall!"

Li Yin continued: "Brother Xu's martial arts are outstanding, and his boxing and swordsmanship are all first-class today, so as long as he is willing to fight for our Dharma Hall, it is the other party who will fight in person, and I don't think Brother Xu will lose to him!"

Xu Zhi hurriedly said modestly: "Senior brother, you think too highly of me, but I am willing to fight side by side with the brothers of the Dharma Hall!"

An Jingsi saw that Xu Zhi and Xue Atan were willing to participate in the Shaolin Temple ring competition, and he was not far behind, and asked: "Senior brother, you also look down on people too much, don't you think I'm young, so you don't treat me as a brother?"

Seeing that he forgot An Jingsi, he said guiltily: "How can we forget Xiao Jingsi?

An Jingsi looked at the cause suspiciously, then turned his head to look at Wen and Lidian, and saw that they were all smiling and looking at him, so he broke into tears and asked, "Then how can I contribute to the Dharma Hall?"

Liao Yin and Liao Wen glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "Xiao Jingsi, we have already thought about it for you, your secret weapons and swordsmanship are good, plus your innate divine power, we discussed letting you practice the kung fu of a thousand catties." In addition, you have been learning swordsmanship from Xu Zhi, if Xiao Jingsi's swordsmanship can go further, you can win glory for our Dharma Hall!"

Xu Zhi and An Jingsi listened, nodded at the same time, and said yes.

Half a month later, Shaolin Temple set up a high martial arts arena in the open arena, although the monks in the temple were hungry and starving, not asking about the world, but for this temple life and death of the same door competition, or actively participated. The ring was already full of monks watching the battle. The abbot first announced the importance of the competition, one is to save Shaolin through the competition, select the disciples with outstanding martial arts, and rebuild the Shaolin Temple eleven stick monks and eighteen Arhat stick formations;

Zhide then announced the rules of the competition, the same door competition, the point to the end, only the decisive victory, not life and death.

Zhixin announced the start of the competition, a gong sounded, and the heart jumped into the ring, and after saluting the Shaolin Sanjue, he arched his hand to everyone in the audience, and shouted: "In the lower Luohan Hall, I ask you for advice!" Before he finished speaking, the anger of the Dharma Hall jumped into the ring and shouted: "Senior Brother of the heart, I ask you for advice!"

Seeing that he was standing in the center of the ring, his left leg was slightly bent, his right hand stretched out to the front, and he performed a move to ask for advice from the same door, "Cangsong welcomes guests", and said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite to your brother", after speaking, it is a tiger and crane double line, the left hand turns into a hook, and the crane beak is the right hand to show the fingers for the tiger claw, and the anger is greeted with a praying mantis fist. He slammed his chest with his tiger claws, attacked his eyes with his crane fist, and used his mantis arms to cover and open them to attack. Both punches are both offensive and defensive, so this contest is completely comparable to the carefulness and patience of the two. The two struggled for nearly two hundred rounds, and when they saw the flaw in their hearts, they suddenly turned sideways, hooked their hearts' tiger claws with their left mantis, and hit Cause's wrist with their right arms.

When the letter was met, it was immediately announced: "Anger has won." On the side of the Dharma Hall, when they saw the victory of the Anger Flag, they all cheered and applauded, while on the side of the Luohan Hall, they were silent, and they all blushed.

Just as he was angry in the ring and shouted: "Senior Brother Lixin, admit it!", Luohan Tang's Liao Ming jumped on the competition platform and shouted: "Let me ask Senior Brother for a lesson or two!"

Liao Ming is considered a disciple with high martial arts skills in the Luohan Hall, and when he saw the first defeat in his heart, he was very angry, and secretly let the Ming with higher martial arts appear to win back the face of the Luohan Hall.

Ming uses the leopard boxing in Shaolin boxing, this leopard boxing pays more attention to the foundation and power than the mantis boxing of anger, and Ming is much older than anger, so it is far better than anger in terms of foundation and strength, and anger also knows this, so as soon as the two of them fought, anger had to avoid the heavy and light, and avoided again and again, not daring to confront Ming. After the two fought for a hundred rounds, Liao Ming gradually gained the upper hand, and he was a little overwhelmed when he saw that he was in a hurry, and deliberately smiled: "Senior brother, be careful behind!"

I didn't know that there was a deception, and I didn't pay attention for a while, and I was hit in the chest by Ming's palm. He shook his body, took several steps back, and fell to the ground. When Zhide saw it, he immediately announced: "Defeat with anger!"
