Chapter VI: Homicide
Now let's not talk about the situation of the Demon Gate, let's talk about the Shaolin faction first. After participating in the rising star martial arts competition of the Tianshan faction on this day, Elder Yuanxu, the head of the Shaolin faction, parted ways with Qing Lingzi of the Wudang faction and returned to the Shaolin Temple at night. Why did he return to Shaolin Temple so nervously?
It turned out that when Elder Yuanxu participated in the rising star martial arts conference in the Tianshan faction, a single murder occurred in Shaolin Temple. It is said that on a windy and dry night, when everyone in the Shaolin Temple was chanting, suddenly, a monk's screaming voice came from the west wing.
So when Master Yuanci, the law enforcement elder of Shaolin Temple, heard the voice, he immediately rushed to the west wing with his disciples to check. Originally, the west wing room was the residence of the monk Kongming of the temple. On this day, because Kong Ming's stomach was uncomfortable, the law enforcement elder told him to rest alone in the room. There is no need for him to recite the scriptures in the main hall.
How do you know that everything is safe, and when everyone is chanting the scriptures at night, something happened to the empty light in the west wing. When Master Yuanci entered the West Wing, he found Kong Ming lying in the room, Master Yuan Ci immediately stepped forward to probe the pulse, and found that Kong Ming's pulse was like a gossamer, and there was still a trace of breath.
So Master Yuanci slapped his palms on Kong Ming's back, and carried the Yi Jin Sutra in the middle of the Xuanmen to help Kong Ming heal his wounds. After more than half an hour, I saw thick white smoke coming out of the head of Master Yuanci, and Kong Ming also woke up slowly. When Kong Ming opened his eyes and saw Master Yuanci, suddenly, in a panic, he said, "It's you, it turns out to be you." ”
Master Yuanci looked at it and said inexplicably: "Kong Ming, I'm Uncle Yuanci, what's wrong with you?" I saw that Kong Ming said as if he had lost his soul: "It's you, you killed my master." Master Yuanci said, "What? I killed your master, and your master has been with me all the time, how is it possible?" only to hear Kong Ming say: "You are definitely the murderer who killed my master, I am not mistaken." ”
Master Yuanji said, "Kong Ming, what are you talking about. Your master is right behind. Don't believe it yourself. "It turns out that Kongming's master is Master Yuankong, the elder of the Precept Dean, and he is the junior disciple of Master Yuanci. At this time, I saw Master Yuankong appear behind Master Yuanci.
Master Yuankong said to Kong Ming: "Kong Ming, what nonsense are you talking about, I have always been by my senior brother's side, how could I be killed?" "Did you make a mistake?" only to hear Kong Ming say: "I am not mistaken, I was not feeling well before, so I rested in the room. ”
Kong Ming continued: "After that, a senior brother came to say that the master asked the apprentice to go and discuss important matters, so I came to the master's room. Kong Ming said, "When I came to Master's room, I saw Master and a monk talking. ”
Kong Ming said: "So I didn't dare to disturb your old man to talk about serious things, so I waited quietly outside the door." Kong Ming said, "But while I was waiting, I only listened to the monk who was talking to the master inside." So Kong Ming recounted the situation at that time.
It turned out that at that time, it was Master Yuanci who was in Master Yuankong's room, and I only heard Master Yuanci say: "Senior brother, what's wrong with your disciple Kongming? ”
Master Yuanji said, "That's the best, so as not to miss our great affairs." Master Yuankong said, "Absolutely not, don't worry, senior brother." Master Yuanji said, "The worship meeting we are doing now is nominally a worship, but in fact there are other arrangements. Master Yuankong said, "What arrangement?"
Master Yuanci said: "Now, we take advantage of Elder Yuanxu to go to the Tianshan Sect to participate in the Rising Star Conference, we will take advantage of this time to rebel, but we must also have a plan to rebel, and it is impossible to be blatant!" Master Yuankong said: "Senior Brother means that in the name of worship in this worship, is it true to rebel?" Master Yuanci said: "Yes, but in order to avoid the wall having ears, we should be careful." ”
Master Yuankong said, "Don't worry, this time it will be absolutely confidential. Master Yuanji said: "Your apprentice Kongming is uncomfortable this time, does he know any of our secrets?" Master Yuankong said: "He absolutely doesn't know, he is too simple." Master Yuanji said, "That's the best." Master Yuankong said, "So, what plan do you plan to rebel this time?"
Master Yuanji said: "There are two plans, one is to unveil the uprising at the worship meeting, so that the monks will bow down to their subordinates. "And the second is to resurrect the dead at the worship meeting, and dress the dead as the living, so that you can scare a group of monks in Shaolin Temple." ”
Master Yuankong said: "Having said that, in the Shaolin Temple, in addition to the abbot Elder Yuanxu, there is also the monk Master Yuanbei. Master Yuankong said: "Yuanbei he has always been dissatisfied with us, this time the abbot Elder Yuanxu went down the mountain, all affairs are handed over to Master Yuanbei, I am afraid that our worship and rebellion will be disturbed by Yuanbei." ”
Master Yuanci said: "Senior brother, don't worry, I know Yuanbei's personality best, his surname is straightforward, reckless, and upright." As long as I tell him the key when the time comes, then he won't stop us. Master Yuankong said, "I hope so." ”
I saw that when Master Yuanci said this, he suddenly swung his palms forward, and saw a strong and powerful force in the air, and the ethereal energy approached Master Yuankong. Master Yuankong swung his palms forward again, and at the same time, there was a strong and powerful force in the air, and the ethereal energy forced back the palm power of Master Yuankong.
I saw two palms touching each other in the air, making a squeaking sound. I only heard Master Yuanci say: "The martial arts of the junior brother have really improved a lot." The senior brother is old, and he can't test the martial arts of the junior brother. Master Yuankong said: "Senior brother has won the award, senior brother's Donkey Kong palm technique is much stronger than junior brother's, senior brother just let junior brother me." ”
Master Yuanji said: "Haha, the junior brother can really speak, okay, then our plan is decided, okay." Master Yuankong said, "Haha, it's a word, but you have to be careful." When he said this, there was a look of fear in Master Yuankong's eyes, but this look of fear was fleeting. As if he didn't even notice it.
At this time, Kong Ming looked outside the room and saw Master Yuankong sitting on the bed in the meditation room. And in the room, there is a chair, a table. And on the table, there is a stove with sandalwood. And sandalwood slowly rose in the stove, sending out bursts of white smoke that swirled around the entire meditation room.
At this time, Kong Ming thought to himself: I have always taken care of Master's room. But I never realized that Master would use sandalwood to place the room. Master's spirit has always been very good, and there is no need to hypnotize himself with sandalwood. And the master's martial arts are not comparable to that of his uncle Yuanci. How is it possible to use sandalwood?
Kong Ming thought to himself: I heard the abbot say that sandalwood is a hypnotic drug, usually a person can't sleep, or something is unsatisfactory, upset and irritable will only use sandalwood. Sandalwood has the effect of calming the mind and sleeping. I heard from the master that there is another use of sandalwood, that is, when the villains put the incense, they usually use sandalwood as a cover.
Kong Ming thought to himself: Now it seems that Master's skills are on par with Master Yuanci, and his breath is very good, but I know Master's habits best. Usually you don't use sandalwood, but this sandalwood is suddenly in his room, and now there is thick white smoke, there must be something strange.
Thinking of this, Kong Ming was about to enter the room and ask what was going on. Suddenly, I saw Master Yuanji say to Master Yuankong: "Senior brother, how does the sandalwood I gave you taste? "I only listened to Master Yuanci finish speaking, hehehe. The voice is weird and weird.
And Master Yuankong said: "The gift given by the senior brother is indeed powerful, and the senior brother is convinced." Master Yuanji said, "Okay, then eat my palm." After Master Yuanji finished speaking, he suddenly slashed at Master Yuankong's chest. Master Yuankong was about to attack, but suddenly he felt dizzy and collapsed on the bed with weakness. And Master Yuanci's palm has already hit Master Yuankong hard.
This sudden change surprised Kong Ming, he never imagined that his senior uncle, Master Yuanci, would plot against his master. So he pushed open the door with an arrow step, broke into the house, and said to Master Yuanci: "Uncle Shi, how can you poison Master. "What did my master do wrong? ”
Master Yuanci heard the voice, turned around and looked, and saw that it was Kong Ming, and immediately said in a dark voice: "Haha, it turned out to be Kong Ming, your master knows too many secrets, if you want a person not to know too many secrets in the world, there is only one way, to make this person disappear forever." ”
Kong Ming said: "Uncle Shi, how can you be like this, I will fight with you." "Kong Ming knows that he is not the opponent of Master Yuanci, but for the sake of Master, he must fight with all his might. Kong Ming has not been in Shaolin Temple for a long time, but he has also learned a body of martial arts, only to see Kong Ming use a move to subdue the tiger fist, the hungry tiger is old, the long fist stretches and shrinks, and has come to the master of Yuanci.
Master Yuanji didn't let Kong Ming in his eyes at all, and with a flick of his long sleeves, a strong wind had already rushed to Kong Ming's chest. Kong Ming turned sideways, struck out with a backhand, and with a snap, it hit the bed frame. And Master Yuanci's three palms have hit Kong Ming's chest and abdomen, arms, and feet respectively.
I saw that Kong Ming was hit by three palm winds, and he immediately couldn't move, and fell to the ground unconscious. When he woke up, he found that Master Yuankong was lying on the bed, so he moved to the front of Master's bed step by step and said to Master, "Master, are you okay?" ”
I only heard Master Yuankong say: "I'm fine, I knew early on that Master Yuanci wanted to rebel, so I have been secretly on guard, how do I know that he actually sent sandalwood." "He poisoned sandalwood, and it was still a colorless and odorless poison. Master Yuankong said, "So when I made the move just now, I had already found out that I had been poisoned. "Don't be sad, you don't have to be sad, people will eventually die. After Master dies, you have to live well. ”
Kong Ming said: "Master will not die, I will find someone to save you." Master Yuankong said: "It's useless, you go back to the room now, tell Uncle Yuanbei, and tell him to wait for Abbot Yuanxu to come back and preside over the overall situation, find out Yuanci, and expose the conspiracy." After Master Yuankong finished speaking, he vomited blood and died. Kong Ming let out a cry of grief and passed out again.
When he woke up again, he was already in his west wing. And he felt sad, so he exclaimed loudly, thus alarming the Yuanji masters in the main hall.
When Master Yuanci and Master Yuankong heard this, Master Yuanci said: "What's going on, our senior brothers have been in the main hall all along, and there is absolutely no rebellion." Master Yuankong said: "Could it be that the people from the Demon Gate infiltrated and used tricks to make our Shaolin Temple kill each other?" Master Yuanci said: "This is possible, Kong Ming, what do you remember?"
Kong Ming said: "That's all I remember. Master Yuanci said, "Kong Ming, you have always known that your uncle and I are a person, how can you hurt your master?" Kong Ming said, "I also know this, so I think it's strange." Just as everyone was talking, suddenly, a monk outside came in and said, "Master Yuanbei's apprentice Qingming died suddenly." ”
When everyone heard this, they were taken aback, and immediately rushed to the monk who supervised the temple, and sure enough, they saw that the skull of Qingming, the apprentice of Master Yuanbei in the monk's room, was broken and died. And Master Yuanbei is observing its situation. When Master Yuanbei finished observing, he said to everyone: "It's the Purple Qi Shura Demon Skill of the Demon Gate." Master Yuanji said: "Sure enough, this time it turned out to be the Demon Gate who came to provoke. ”
Master Yuanbei discussed with Yuanci and Yuankong, and decided to notify Elder Yuanxu, the abbot of the Tianshan faction, to come back to discuss. So there was the scene when Elder Yuanxu hurriedly returned to the Shaolin Temple at the beginning.
