Chapter 589: Muddy Waters
"Hidden Phase" Song Shujian, who became famous at a young age, became famous before the age of 30, and was in charge of the innate Yi Dao, with incredible magical powers. Over the years, he has devoted himself to the accounts of the Zhenbei Army, fought in the south and the north, and killed the famous name with the accumulated bones of the Hu people, and was later recruited by Xiao Qianli.
He worshiped Shaolin, and there was a sudden sensation in the rivers and lakes, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at the Shaolin Temple, waiting for the outcome of the negotiations between the two sides.
Unexpectedly, Song Shujian lived in Shaolin Temple for seven days, and sat in the guest room for most of the day.
"What happened?" I don't know how many people are secretly speculating, even Guo Tianci, the leader of the beggar gang, couldn't help but ask Xiao Qianli through Qi Dong, but Xiao Qianli just smiled mysteriously and didn't answer.
Seven days later, Song Shujian floated away and laughed: "Ninety-nine day, wait for good news!"
Just when the forces of the Central Plains martial arts were still secretly speculating, Song Shujian kept running around, but the people he visited were all first-class famous factions in the world. It's just that unlike the Shaolin Temple, whenever he goes, he visits the dignity of a faction in person, talks a few words, and then gets up and leaves.
North and South Shaolin, Lingyin, Five Avenue Sect, Beggars, Tangmen, Tianxiang Pavilion...... Song Shujian's footprints traveled all over the country, and the news finally leaked out, and once it came out, Wulin was in an uproar.
"Pure Yang Palace plans to compete with Shaolin for the righteous path?"
"In last year's Battle of Jiujiu Jinshan, Xiao Qianli of the Pure Yang Sect swept through Jinshan Temple, one of the four temples of Theravada Buddhism. This year, he actually challenged Shaolin again?"
"This ...... This is inevitably too hasty!" Someone commented, "Although Jinshan Temple is one of the four famous temples of Han Buddhism with Shaolin, its strength is not half that of Shaolin. No matter how high Xiao Zhangjiao's martial arts are, how can he overturn the Shaolin Temple?"
"This is the Daomen who finally can't help it...... has been suppressed by Buddhism for thousands of years, and finally saw the hope of great prosperity. If the Pure Yang Palace defeats the Shaolin Temple again, the general trend of the world will inevitably be reversed!"
Outside the ruined temple on a nameless hill, a tall and thin figure suddenly appeared covered in a black robe, he looked around and strode into the ruined temple.
In the ruined temple, a thin old monk wearing a monk's robe sat on a futon, and it was the abbot of the White Horse Temple, Guangji Zen Master, who Xiao Qianli and others could not find.
"Chunyang Palace's appointment to fight Shaolin Temple, this is the result you want?" the man in black did not show any respect for the abbot of Guangji in his words, and went straight to the road, "In this way, our plan was inadvertently disrupted. Do you want to find another way?"
Zen Master Guangji was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, laughing so much that tears were about to come out.
"Xiao Qianli of the Pure Yang Palace, in vain I attach so much importance to him, and now it seems that it is not as good as Emei Xuanguan!"
The man in black was a little puzzled and asked, "How do you say this?"
"Do you want to turn things around with one hand because of your high martial arts? You must know that the battle for unification is the foundation and durability, ancient and modern exchanges, I don't know how many amazing and brilliant martial arts masters have been born in the Xuanmen, which can be called the first in contemporary martial arts, but who can really lead the Xuanmen to overpower the Buddhism?"
"Xuanguan Daojun is far-sighted, connecting the five avenues into one, with the same qi and branches, one is prosperous, with the five avenues as the core, the power gradually spreads, bit by bit eats away at the power of Buddhism, decades of operation, this gradually has today's atmosphere. This Xiao Qianli doesn't know what to do, and he actually wants to finish his work in one battle? Even if he wins Shaolin, so what?"
"Now that Xuanguan Daojun has entered the court, Xiao Qianli has done such unwise things, which seems to be cooking oil with fire and flowers, but in fact, it has squeezed out the last trace of vitality of Xuanmen. Even if Shaolin is temporarily frustrated, how can others be convinced? It will inevitably set off a monstrous war, and even if he Xiao Qianli is covered in iron, how many nails can he hit?"
The man in black was silent for a long time, shook his head and said: "One thing is one thing, not to mention the victory or defeat of Chunyang Palace and Shaolin Temple, just looking at the aftermath of this matter, if the two veins of Buddhism and Taoism are all waiting for the results of the battle of Ninety-Nine, even if we provoke trouble from it, we may not set off much storm." ”
Guangji lowered his head and thought about it again, a sinister smile gradually appeared on his face, and he nodded: "Isn't this just in line with our original intention?"
The man in black suddenly woke up, and said with a smile: "You old bald donkey, but you are becoming more and more scheming, I underestimate you!"
Guangji smiled and said, "Boy, don't point fingers at the old man, you should quickly contact and make arrangements." The more lively the battle of Ninety-Nine, the better, let's just act in secret!"
The man in black snorted coldly, and did not argue with Guangji, but his body flashed and disappeared without a trace. Looking at the direction he left, Guangji's face gradually became extremely hideous.
"Go, go, the world is not chaotic, how can the old man succeed?"
In Ling Xianguan, Xiao Qianli also smiled extremely unscrupulously.
"Some people want to muddy the waters, so they just muddy it for the sake of the teacher. It's always the little things that cause trouble. But in order to cover up these small things, you have to do something bigger to attract the attention of others. first provoked the dispute between the Qinling Dao Buddha, and then secretly killed the Yuzhen Daojun and the Daoyi monk, escalating step by step, and I don't know who it will be next time. In this case, as a teacher, we must first make a big thing. ”
Although Fang Shaobai was extremely intelligent, he was also a little confused at this time, and couldn't help but ask: "Master, do you mean that you plan to use the major event of Shaolin to attract more people's attention?"
"You only see a small part. Xiao Qianli said with a smile, "Some people always want to break the old order and establish a new order, if this continues, sooner or later it will be unfavorable to the Central Plains martial arts, so it needs to be eliminated in the bud." In this case, the teacher simply gave them this opportunity. ”
"But......" Fang Shaobai seemed to understand a little, but there were more doubts in his mind, he lowered his head and thought for a long time, and couldn't help but ask, "Master, do you really plan to make an appointment with Shaolin Temple on the ninth day of the ninth month of September?
"Appointment?" Xiao Qianli held back a smile and asked rhetorically, "What appointment?"
"You're not ......"
Fang Shaobai had just finished half of the sentence when he was interrupted by Xiao Qianli.
"Isn't it common for people who practice martial arts to discuss and learn from each other......?
"Besides-" Xiao Qianli smiled even more weirdly, "Mr. Song went to Shaomu Mountain to deliver a letter, the content of the letter is only known to the abbot of Mingxu, most of the rumors in the rivers and lakes are false, how could he have said that the masters of both sides went there in person?"
"Huh?" Fang Shaobai couldn't help but be stunned and muttered, "Invite Shaolin, isn't it the master who went in person?"
"Well, the candidates for this battle have already been arranged for the division!"
