Chapter 178: A Trip to Shaolin
It has been half a month since Wang Jing and the beggar gang returned to Henan Zongru, during which many people in the rivers and lakes died, including Tan Gong, Tan Po, Zhao Qiansun, Master Zhiguang, and the Shan Zheng family, but they did not hear the news of the death of Xuan Ku and Qiao Sanhuai. The beggar gang was well-informed, and Wang Jing knew it as soon as possible.
Wang Jing knew that this must be Qiao Feng's first return to Shaomu Mountain, Xiao Yuanshan wanted to kill Xuan Ku and Qiao Sanhuai and his wife, but he couldn't find a chance to start, so he became angry and killed these people to vent his anger. However, the beggars didn't know, some people speculated whether Qiao Feng did it, the apricot forest incident, only Qiao Feng had this motive.
Wang Jing explained: "When Qiao Feng was in Wuxi, he told me that he was going back to Shaolin Mountain to find his parents Qiao Sanhuai to ask the truth, and he should be in Shaolin Temple at this moment. Many people in the rivers and lakes died, it should not have been him. And I believe in his character, this matter is too big, I will go to Shaolin to discuss with Abbot Xuanci to resolve this matter. ”
Wang Jing also instructed Elder Xu, Elder Song and Bai Shijing to sit at the helm of the beggar gang, and he took Wu Changfeng, Elder Xi, Quan Guanqing and others to Shaolin. The beggar gang rudder is located in Luoyang, Shaolin is in Songshan, but the distance is not far, and a few people will arrive in Shaolin in a few days. Now that the rivers and lakes are eventful, Shaolin does not take in female dependents, but Azhu and Mu Wanqing stay at the helm of the beggar gang, and Wang Jing is not at ease that the two of them go out alone.
Shaolin Xuanci abbot had already learned from Qiao Feng's mouth about the change of the beggar gang leader, and later the beggar gang disciples informed the entire Jianghu that Wang Jing and his party arrived in Shaolin, and the monk did not dare to slack off, led a few people into the hall, and hurriedly informed the abbot Xuanci. After a short time, the abbot of Xuanci came out to greet him and said: "The Wang gang leader is famous, coming to Shaolin, and the temple is shining!"
Wang Jing returned the salute and said: "Abbot Xuanci is more polite! I don't know if Qiao Feng is in the temple?"
Abbot Xuan Ci replied: "Lord Qiao Shi was worried about his parents and Xuan Ku's junior brother, so he waited day and night and did not go out. The king gang leader came, but it was for the repeated murders in the rivers and lakes?"
Wang Jing sighed: "Yes! The matter of the apricot forest, presumably the abbot already knows." The old events of thirty years ago caused the turmoil in the rivers and lakes now, and the protagonists of this incident, Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo, were not dead, and they must be inseparable from the two of them. ”
Abbot Xuanci said strangely: "I don't know how the Wang gang leader knows that neither of them is dead? Although the beggar gang is well-informed, it is impossible to know that the two are hiding in the Shaolin Temple Scripture Pavilion." ”
Wang Jing smiled and said, "The abbot suspects that I have also infiltrated the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of your temple?"
Abbot Xuanci said "Amitabha" and said: "Don't dare! Wang Gang Master has an amazing record, I think that my martial arts have reached the peak, and the beggar gang's eighteen palms of dragon descent and dog beating stick method are all first-class divine skills, I don't expect to covet my Shaolin martial arts." ”
Wang Jing smiled: "I have my own sources, but it's hard to explain the specifics to the abbot." I came here to discuss with the abbot how to deal with this turmoil?"
Abbot Xuanci sighed: "The poor monk was misled by his friend Murong Bo, which caused these incidents. Since the Wang gang leader is willing to help, I don't know what kind of trick can lead the two out and solve this old matter. ”
Wang Jing said with a smile: "Xiao Yuanshan will definitely find a way to kill Master Xuanku, so only when he shows up, he must have been lurking in Shaolin." As for Murong Bo, if the abbot doesn't care about his reputation, he can arrest Murong Fu and bring him to Shaolin and lead Murong Bo to come to his rescue!"
Abbot Xuanci said: "It is definitely not okay to force it, this move is too unruly." ”
The two frowned and pondered, Quan Guanqing offered a plan: "Gang leader, my subordinates have a plan that can attract Murong Fu! As long as my beggar gang unites Shaolin to hold a martial arts conference, and clearly elects the leader of the martial arts alliance, and then the alliance leader will take the lead in dealing with this series of murders, and invite all colleagues in the rivers and lakes to attend the meeting, Gu Sumu is naturally also invited, if he does not dare to come, his reputation will be lost." ”
Abbot Xuanci said in his heart: "Quan Guanqing, this person is really quite scheming, Wang Jing's martial arts are high, and he is still above Nan Murong, and the position of the alliance leader is at his fingertips, and then the authority of the alliance leader is solved, and the prestige of the beggar gang will inevitably go to a higher level! But if I don't agree, the beggar gang can also act alone." Anyway, the beggars helped out Qiao Feng and Wang Jing, two heroes, and the prosperity is unstoppable. ”
Wang Jing asked, "What does the abbot think?"
Abbot Xuanci had a plan, so he nodded and praised: "This plan is very good, so I will say it accordingly." When is the date set for me?"
Wang Jing said with a smile: "Murong Fu was injured by me, even if there is a divine doctor to help, it will take at least three months to recover." If it is set in half a year, otherwise he will refuse to come on the grounds that his injuries have not recovered, and he will have to trouble us to arrest him personally. ”
Abbot Xuanci replied: "Very good! According to the words of the king's helper! The location will be set in my Shaolin! The poor monk will let Xuansheng's junior brother take charge of this matter." "Although Xuan Sheng is of the same generation as Abbot Xuan Ci, he is still young. Xuan Ci estimated that the beggar gang was in charge of this matter, so he let Xuan Sheng go with him, first, this matter is not very important, and there is no need for a person of high morality;
Wang Jing then ordered: "Quan Guanqing, you are responsible for informing the people of the rivers and lakes to attend the meeting! You and Master Xuansheng must cooperate with each other!" Quan Guanqing bowed and took the order.
After the abbot of Xuanci and Wang Jing finished discussing, he led Wang Jing to visit the Shaolin Temple and introduced the monks of the Xuanzi generation one by one. Wang Jing carefully looked at the senior monks of the Xuanzi generation in Shaolin Temple, Xuan Ci is the abbot and has the highest martial arts, followed by the first master of the Dharma Academy and the first master of the Precepts Academy. The rest, such as Xuan Pain, Xuan Du, Xuan Sheng, Xuan Xuan, Xuan Xuan, Xuan Scale, Xuan Jing, Xuan Shame, Xuan Shame, Xuan Nian, etc., are slightly inferior. Xuan Bei has died at the hands of Gu Mozhi, but he has no chance to see it.
After Wang Jing saw everyone, he smiled and said to the abbot of Xuanci: "Master Xuanku must be with Qiao Feng, the abbot might as well introduce him, just tell Qiao Feng about this matter, and just wait for the martial arts conference to be held, and the matter will be resolved." ”
Abbot Xuanci replied: "The poor monk also has this intention, please!" After speaking, he took Wang Jing to see Master Xuanku and Qiao Feng.
Qiao Feng was very happy when he saw Wang Jing, Wu Changfeng, and Elder Xi coming, and when he saw Quan Guanqing, his eyes were a little unnatural, Wang Jing said: "I took the throne that day, and it is inconvenient to immediately execute the gangsters, Quan Guanqing I know this person in my heart, I have watched it, I can't turn up the big waves, and it is good to use it to do things." ”
Qiao Feng replied: "Brother Wang has a plan in his heart, so I can rest assured. ”
Xuan Ci told Wang Jing about the discussion, and Qiao Feng sighed: "It's okay, so there are abbots and brother Wang! ”
Master Xuanku said: "Amitabha, there are many things in the rivers and lakes, and the poor monks still have Feng'er to take care of them, it's really ashamed!"
Wang Jing looked at the kind eyebrows on Master Xuanku's face, but he was born with a bitter appearance, and this law name was very suitable, and said with a smile: "After half a year, the matter can be resolved." Why should the master blame himself, the master did not participate in the matter of Yanmen Pass. Besides, if it weren't for the master's early teachings, Brother Qiao might not have today's achievements. ”
Qiao Feng said: "For many years, the apprentice has not taken care of the second elder and the teacher, and I am very ashamed. After half a year, the apprentice will always be by his side, and he will no longer pay attention to the affairs of the rivers and lakes. ”
Between the words of a few people, a little novice came to announce, saying that it was Juxian Zhuang You's two heroes and Xue Shenyi to spread the heroic post, and invited colleagues from all over the rivers and lakes to gather to discuss the tragic death of many people in the rivers and lakes, although everyone had no evidence, but Qiao Feng was nowhere to be found, and everyone suspected that Qiao Feng had done it.
