Chapter 329: Think long-term

"Hey, good...... Wait a minute...... "Jingxiang resigned, and returned to the house.

The man thought that he was disgusted by the smell of the house, so he did not come in, but waited outside. He didn't know that he had done this unintentional move, but he saved a small life for himself.

Chen Ao couldn't help but sneer when he saw that Jingxiang asked and answered this person, and behaved like this. This pure appearance blindly curryed favor with Nangong Jun, and for the sake of the so-called "overall situation", not only did not resist, but took the initiative to cooperate. The other party is so relieved of him, presumably for so long, this "good citizen" has won deep trust and completely eliminated their vigilance.

Jingchen also sighed softly, thinking to himself, there is indeed something wrong with the abbot's approach. But more than a decade ago, there was no doubt. Since the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Shaolin Temple has prospered with the help of Li Shimin, the king of Qin. Until the end of the Tang Dynasty, he could be regarded as the head of the Zen sect. However, later on, the heroes stood side by side, and the princes were divided. Those chaotic Shatuo and Huqiang, no matter what Shaolin and many forests, wherever the soldiers arrived, the lives were devastated. The Shaolin Temple finally got the Great Song Dynasty to dominate the world. At that time, it was time to recuperate and recuperate. After so many years of worship by the abbot, he has his current status.

But now that the prestige of Shaolin is growing, as the abbot of Shaolin, it is still the same, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of people who practice martial arts in the world. When Jingchen thought of this, he became more and more worried. But he was originally unrestrained, and he was helpless about it, so he could only cry out in vain.

Jing Xiang lay down on the table, hurriedly wrote a note, and sent it out the door. The man took the note, looked at it, saw that there was nothing wrong, and went up the mountain.

Chen Ao finally couldn't help but say: "Old Abbot Jingxiang, are you so willing to serve the tiger? Now that the martial arts heroes have come to Shaolin, as long as you show up to directly denounce Nangong Jun's conspiracy, are you still afraid that everyone will not follow each other? At that time, no matter how powerful the four major families are, they will not be able to be enemies of the whole world, right?"

Jinglian shook his head again and again, and said: "I can't do it! As the saying goes, if the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it." The century-old foundation of Shaolin Temple continues to this day, which is not easy. If he becomes the head of the group of heroes who are enemies of the imperial court, I am afraid that the catastrophe will not be far away. Nangong Jun and others are just seeking fame, and they can't do anything hurtful. Why not let him go?"

Chen Ao was really helpless. Qin Lang is a man who is happy to take revenge, and after holding it for so long, he finally couldn't help it, and said loudly: "Helmsman, why bother to quarrel with this old monk again? Let's go up the mountain and save Miss Liang!"

Chen Ao nodded, but Zhao Ling suddenly stopped at the door. She was silent for a long time, thinking about it all the time, and then she said, "Chen Ao, now our people are scattered and fleeing, and they haven't gathered yet. There are guards on the mountain, and it is not easy to save people. If the heroes are bewitched by Nangong Jun again, and they also come to us as enemies, I am afraid that it will be a problem to escape safely. ”

Chen Ao hurriedly said: "Shall we just let Liang Xiaoya let Nangong Jun's beast bully?"

Zhao Ling said in a deep voice: "Don't be impatient. Now that the heroes are gathered, Nangong Jun has to be busy dealing with the situation, and he will not hurt Xiaoya for a while. Besides, he still needs to use Liang Xiaoya to lure you over, so Xiaoya is still safe for the time being. We have to take advantage of this time to come up with a perfect solution!"

Chen Ao listened to her persuasion, and also calmed down, glanced at Jingxiang, and thought to himself, although Master Jingchen is strong in martial arts. But a few of us rushed up the mountain, not only the Shaolin monks will be our enemies, but even the martial arts heroes who don't know the truth will not let us go. When the time comes, he will become the target of everyone, not only will he not be able to rescue Xiaoya, but he will also be bad.

But it would be great if the old abbot could help. It's a pity that this old monk is so cowardly, which is really depressing.

Chen Ao suddenly remembered the other two missing monks, the first seat of the Dharma Hall and the Luohan Hall. These two monks are also bloodless if they don't succeed. If they help, it is equivalent to a pure appearance. I just didn't see them here for some reason.

Thinking of this, Chen Ao asked coldly: "Old abbot, you are alone in peace, and the people under your door may not have the same thoughts as you. You should always promote democracy and listen to the opinions of the masses, right? What about the masters of the Dharma Hall and the Arhat Hall? Why don't we invite them to discuss with us?"

Jingxiang was stunned for a moment and said, "This, this, this...... Master Chen, Master Chen Duo! Why do you have to make things difficult with my Shaolin Temple? This is a grievance between you and Nangong Jun, so why bother implicating us!"

When Chen Ao heard this, he immediately became angry, slapped the table violently, and shook all the pen and ink that Jingxiang had just used to the ground. He shouted: "I'm implicating you? Joke! It was you who wrote a letter inviting me to come to the martial arts conference. It was Master Pure Dust who asked me to help investigate the mystery of your old monk's disappearance. It is also for the reputation of your Shaolin Temple that I did everything possible to thwart the conspiracy of Nangong Jun and others. I don't blame you yet, but you blame me first!"

Jingxiang was speechless, although he was a generation of monks, he was also ashamed. Jingchen sighed and couldn't help but say, "Senior Brother Abbot, where are the two senior brothers of Jingguang and Jingben locked up? Let's go pick it up and discuss it together!"

Jingxiang shook his head and said, "The two junior disciples of Jingguang Jingben were taken here captive with me. But the two of them are too strong in personality and always refuse to cooperate. Later, Cao Yi had them taken out. The old man thought that they had returned to the temple, but when I heard you talk about it today, I realized that this was not the case. ”

Jingchen frowned and said, "There is no place in the temple where people can be hidden, and I have also checked around. Where will the two brothers be?"

Chen Ao snorted and said, "Let's find these two masters as helpers!" he said, and walked outside.

Zhao Ling was worried about the danger outside, followed closely behind Chen Ao, and asked, "What are you doing out there?"

Chen Ao said: "The house is aggrieved, come out and take a breath!"

As he spoke, he had already stepped out of the door, standing in the doorway, with a vegetable patch in front of him. It is vertical and horizontal, very neat. In the distance is the valley, the lush mountains and forests, and the mist makes people feel open-minded. Chen Ao let out a sigh of relief, and finally felt more comfortable.

Zhao Ling persuaded: "Chen Ao, if you change places, you can also understand the hardships of the Pure Phase Master. ”

Chen Ao sighed: "It's not that I don't understand his hardship. Just thinking about the glory of the Shaolin Temple in later generations, I always feel that today's situation is really sad!"

"Huh?" Zhao Ling didn't react for a while, "The afterlife?"

Chen Ao realized that he had slipped his mouth, and hurriedly covered it up: "Huh? haha...... It's nothing ......" He hurriedly took two steps forward, trying to avoid Zhao Ling's questioning gaze.

Chen Ao is from the future, and so far he has told the two of them. One is Xuanning, and the other is Su Zhuo. Xuan Ning only thought he was joking, and although Su Zhuo chose to believe him, he was also skeptical.

Although the relationship between him and Zhao Ling has improved a lot now, it is far from the point of digging out his heart and lungs. It is impossible for Chen Ao to tell his biggest secret easily. Even if Zhao Ling didn't care about it, he just regarded it as his nonsense. But Chen Ao also doesn't want to be treated like a madman.

Zhao Ling didn't take it seriously, but when he saw Chen Ao's words flickering and evasive, he became suspicious and asked, "Stop! What do you want to say? Don't leave until you make it clear!"

She hurried to chase over, only to see Chen Ao stop suddenly, and she almost hit Chen Ao's back. Zhao Ling said angrily: "What are you doing ......?"

Chen Ao was dumbfounded, stretched out his hand to stop her from talking, and muttered, "Where do you look......"

Zhao Ling raised his eyes and saw a vegetable field in front of him. The greens that have survived the winter are growing quite well, and there is nothing unusual. She was dazed, "What's wrong, isn't there anything wrong?"

Chen Ao shook his head and said, "Don't you think that vegetable field is growing a little well? The weather has just warmed up, and no one has cleaned up the irrigation for a long time. But the vegetables in this field grow much better than in other fields......"

Zhao Ling was also a little surprised, but she was a woman who didn't know how to grow crops, and said blankly: "What do you mean......"

"Unless it's ...... There are some special fertilizers......"
