Sixty-nine, infiltrating Shaolin (3)

Just when several fake monks at these three sentry posts were arguing, Qin Chuan had already laughed secretly, and quietly passed over everyone's heads, came to the temple gate, and entered over the wall.

Although there are people everywhere in the temple or light or dark, or knives or sticks patrolling back and forth, the guard is extremely strict, with Qin Chuan's ears and eyes, and the spirit cat-like skills, he can calmly avoid it. He used the supreme light skill of "floating a feather in the sky", running high and low, circling flickering, and really landing silently, and no one in the Shaolin Temple was unconscious.

The strange thing is that with his ears, the kung fu of the people patrolling the temple includes both the Shaolin faction and other sects, and he wonders in his heart: "Could it be that the Shaolin Temple has discussed with these outsiders and guarded together?"

It's just a huge Shaolin ancient temple in the middle of the temple courtyard, one in the east, one in the west, scattered between the hillsides, not to mention dozens? But I don't know which courtyard Mu Qinglan will be in, which house?

Walking along, he walked through the halls and rooms one by one, but he heard that everyone in the temple had fallen asleep except for the people on duty.

At this time, he was already drenched, and unconsciously came to the outside of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, looking around, hesitating, just hoping to find some clues.

He stood quietly under the corridor, heard the sound of the night rain, and suddenly remembered: "By the way, Yumei and I came to Shaolin last time, and we went to the abbot's meditation room, why don't we go and visit the abbot of Lingdu secretly?"

In the night, I discerned the direction, walked around the corridor, and ran to the abbot's room. When passing through a monk's house, he took the sheep and touched a set of monk's clothes and hats. The monks in the ridiculous room slept soundly, snoring like thunder, if Qin Chuan was really the enemy who came to sneak attack, he would have a hundred lives, and they would all be gone.

Qin Chuan changed into a monk's robe in a secluded place, wrapped his clothes and pants into a ball, and hid it on the women's wall on the roof of the monk's house, and then floated down.

I just stepped into the door of the moon cave outside the abbot. I only heard a slight sound of wind in my clothes, and a person in front of me shouted: "Amitabha, the Dharma is boundless!" Qin Chuan did not hesitate, and said in a suppressed voice: "The color and body are impermanent, and impermanence is suffering!"

In the darkness, there were two more gray-clothed monks in the courtyard. Qin Chuan's heart sank: "These two people's light skills are very skillful, and they are authentic Shaolin kung fu, among the masters I have seen since entering the temple tonight, the two of them should be the most powerful!"

One of them snorted and said, "The abbot has rested." What are the donors doing here?"

Qin Chuan was stunned. The mind turned: "The skills of these two people are not ordinary people, and they are both Shaolin kung fu." But even though I'm wearing monk's robes, they call me 'donor', but why?"

He was going to visit the abbot's room at night silently, but he didn't expect two masters of Shaolin Temple to suddenly appear, and he had an idea, put his hands together, and said vaguely: "There is some movement outside Shicai Temple, and the senior brother who patrols is injured! I, I am here to ......" Speaking of this. He was silent.

The two monks glanced at each other, and asked the man before: "Hmph, isn't it already decided? Your people are responsible for the entrances outside the temple to prevent outsiders from breaking in." Our brothers and sisters only guard the important places in our temple. Such a trivial matter, why should I alarm my abbot?" Another person said: "Senior Brother Xuanming is right. Donor, please reply to Lord Mu, our abbot has gone to bed. What's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow, right?"

Qin Chuan's heart was pleasantly surprised: "Fortunately, the abbot of Lingdu was really not poisoned by Senior Mu!" and thought: "It seems that these two Shaolin monks have sent me as Senior Mu." ”

A slight groan. Still clasping his hands together, he bowed his head and said, "Mu, our Mu Alliance Master sent me to ask for the reason, have you invited any foreign guests to the temple recently?"

The previous monk Xuanming said indignantly: "Hmph, I ask knowingly! Since Uncle Lingji and his entourage returned from Luoyang, no one has ever taken half a step out of the temple gate, where will there be any foreign guests?

The figures of the two monks flashed, and they disappeared in the darkness.

Qin Chuan knew that the two of them were hiding in a hidden place and staring at him, and he would never let himself go to see the abbot. I thought in my heart: "Fortunately, the abbot of Lingdu has nothing to do." Listening to the words of these two monks, the Shaolin Temple has made an agreement with the predecessors of Mu, and the two sides are responsible for each place inside and outside the temple. It is no wonder that among the masters who met in the temple, there were both Shaolin monks and people from other factions. It's just that these people are now wearing monk robes, and from outsiders, they are naturally all Shaolin monks. Well, yes, the two disciples from my Baixi Gang came to Shaolin Temple to preach the news, and when they went back to report, they said that they didn't see anything unusual in the temple, so that's the case. ”

Suddenly, I heard the voice of Xuanguang reprimand: "Hey, why don't you leave, what is the place where we are the abbot of the Zen Temple?"

Qin Chuan's heart moved, and he sneered: "Stinky monk, what kind of place do you say the abbot Zen Temple is?"

Xuanguang was furious, with a snort, his body was like the wind, and he had already jumped in front of Qin Chuan, stood with his right palm, and shouted: "Don't deceive people too much? If it weren't for the abbot's decree, the monks in the temple were strictly ordered not to do it first, and the poor monks had already slapped the Arhat palm, knocked all the demons and monsters out of Shaolin, and went back to their hometown!"

Qin Chuan deliberately pretended to be frightened, took a step back, protected his chest with both palms, and stammered: "You, what do you want to do?

Xuanguang was slightly surprised to see that he was so cowardly and useless, and then turned back to the dark place and smiled: "Senior Brother Xuanming, I really don't understand, what's so terrible about the surname Mu, why does the abbot want us to tolerate and accommodate everywhere? Hmph, what can you really do with these pus-filled goods?"

Before Xuan Ming could speak, he suddenly heard a sound, the door of the abbot's room opened, and a loud voice said: "Xuan Ming, Xuan Guang, please come in and speak!" Xuan Ming and Xuan Guang heard that it was the abbot's voice, and at the same time, they were startled, and bowed down together and responded: "Obey the abbot's decree!"

Xuan Ming jumped out, fell to Xuan Guang's side, raised his hand to greet the guest, and said to Qin Chuan: "Donor, please!"

Qin Chuan followed the two monks through the small courtyard and came to the abbot's room. At this time, the room has been lit with oil lamps, and a thin old monk wearing a big red robe, sitting cross-legged on a futon in the middle, holding a rosary, with a kind complexion, is the abbot of Lingdu, the presiding officer of the Shaolin faction.

The two monks Xuanming and Xuanguang saluted to the abbot, and respectfully closed the door and withdrew.

Lingdu smiled and said, "Lord Mu ordered you to come late at night, but why?"

Qin Chuan had already secretly used his internal strength, and when he heard that there was indeed no one else inside and outside, he bowed down at the moment. said: "Senior Qin Chuan, meet the abbot master!" said and knelt down.

Abbot Lingdu was startled, and his gaze shot towards Qin Chuan's face. His eyes were shining, like lightning, and he immediately recognized Qin Chuan, smiled, bowed slightly, raised his right hand, and said, "Qin Shaoxia doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat!"

Qin Chuan bowed. He sat on a futon at the head of Lingdu.

Lingdu smiled and said: "Shaoxia is honored to be the leader of the Baiju Gang, and he is also in charge of the Beggars Gang, which is really the blessing of the Central Plains Martial Arts, congratulations!" Qin Chuan bowed and said, "Thank you Abbot." The day before yesterday, Master Lingji of Guiji Temple and a group of senior monks went to Luoyang to congratulate them, coming and going in a hurry, and the younger generations failed to entertain them, which was very rude!"

Lingdu shook his head and said with a smile: "Gang Master Qin is too polite. His eyes turned to Qin Chuan, and he said slowly: "When did the Qin gang leader know that Shaolin was trapped, and how did he come to Lao Qu's residence?"

Qin Chuan looked down at his monk's robe. He briefly talked about Mu Qinglan's transmission of the letter and his speculation with Qin Jiang and Yi Wanyu.

After hearing this, Lingdu pondered for a long time and sighed: "The sky net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky. Mu Shi was unexpected. Plotted against the old man, raided the Shaolin Scripture Pavilion and the Dharma Academy, and threatened the hundreds of years of Tibetan scriptures and the treasure of the town temple, the green jade Buddha beads and the Buddha's relics, so that the temple was at the mercy of it. For more than a month. Except for the Lingji junior brother who led people to your gang, none of the monks of our temple went out, and I didn't expect that the Qin gang leader still knew the truth!"

Qin Chuan's heart moved. exclaimed: "Among the monks who followed Master Lingji to our gang that day, there must be Mu ...... The people of the Heavenly Dao Alliance are mixed in?"

Lingdu sighed and said, "Not only that, but even the side of the Wudang Sect's Songwen Daoist is also followed by several masters of the Heavenly Dao Alliance!"

Qin Chuan was taken aback, and he was silent for a while.

Lingdu saw that he bowed his head and was silent, his face was cloudy, and he said slowly: "There are four seniors in the Wudang faction, who are the uncles of Songwen Daoyou, who have been sealing the sword for many years, and they have not asked about worldly things for a long time. These four seniors were originally sitting in the back mountain of Wudang. Unexpectedly, Mu Shizhu arranged the mechanism in advance, and he entered in one fell swoop, held these seniors hostage, and coerced Wudang up and down with this. ”

Qin Chuan gasped, remembering that the face of the Songwen Daoist changed slightly that day because of a joke made by the Taishan faction, but it turned out that his four uncles were captured, and the Wudang faction did not dare to make a mistake.

Qin Chuan said: "The younger generation of Shicai heard the words of the two masters, Xuan Ming and Xuan Guang, and said that the abbot personally ordered that the whole temple should not resist the enemy?"

Lingdu nodded and said, "This matter is indeed as guessed by Miss Yi and Brother Ling as relayed by Gang Leader Qin. Although Lord Mu Shi used improper means to raid Shaolin, he also respected the whole temple, and had a gentleman's agreement with Lao Gao. He promised that the old man would not hurt a single person in our temple, not a single thing in our temple, and would not kill any sin on the rivers and lakes during this period, but only recuperate here for three months. Three months later, he took people out of the Shaolin Temple. ”

"Although Mu Shizhu is a ferocious and murderous person, he is also a generation of heroes who are true to his word and true to his word. For the safety of hundreds of monks in the temple, green jade Buddha beads, Buddha relics, and scriptures, and for the sake of the peace of the martial arts for three months, Lao Qu agreed to him. Amitabha, the old man also knew that this move was to appease and nurture adultery, but in fact, it was a last resort. ”

Qin Chuan lowered his head and pondered: "The abbot takes into account the overall situation, if he is tough at that time, he may not be defeated with the power of Shaolin." However, Shaolin's thousand-year-old foundation, the scriptures in the temple, relics and other things will inevitably be destroyed. What's more, the martial arts have been indeed stable and peaceful recently, and there are very few casualties, which is also a great merit!"

Thinking of this, he raised his head and said, "Master Abbot, if the Shaolin Sect is useful to the younger generation, just give orders! I, Qin Chuan, will go to the soup and fight the fire, and I will not give up! Also, the Great Wind Fort, the Baixi Gang, and the Beggars Gang can also obey the orders of the abbot master. ”

Lingdu stared at Qin Chuan with both eyes, smiled slightly, and said: "Good, good! The little donor has a good intention, and the Shaolin Temple is up and down, and he feels the same virtue!" After a little contemplation, he said: "Doesn't the little donor understand the intention of our temple?"

Qin Chuan was stunned, and immediately suddenly shouted: "It turns out that the master is also a plan. No, it should be said that it is a delaying tactic!"

Lingdu smiled, bowed his head slightly, and said, "Let's talk about it!" Qin Chuan muttered: "The Heavenly Dao Alliance is harmful to the people of the world, and it destroys the door at every turn, and all the factions in the Central Plains Martial Arts are caught off guard, and they suffer heavy casualties. If you rush to fight now, you are afraid that you will lose more and win less, and you will die in vain. Master Abbot's meaning is to hope that during these three months, all factions in the Central Plains Martial Arts will be on guard and will not panic again!" Lingdu sighed: "Not bad. Mu Shi has been running the Tiandao Alliance for many years, and judging from the situation that the major gangs such as the Huashan faction, the Qingcheng faction, and the wasp gang have all been attached, there are many hidden dangers in the martial arts. The old man is worried that once the two sides meet, there will be chaos among many sects!"

Qin Chuan was shocked in his heart, and then thought of Lian Dong of the Baixi Gang, Ning Xu of the Taishan Sect, and the young lady of Songyunzhuang, etc., how could these people not be the internal response or undercover agents of the Heavenly Dao Alliance? Thinking of Niu Chao's brothers and sisters, he couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.

Lingdu said slowly: "The cow benefactor who wanted to take your life at the Bishan Conference is the disciple of the evil benefactor. When the Lingji junior returned to the mountain and talked about it, he was very surprised. If the Qin Gang leader dies under the hammer that day, it will inevitably cause chaos in the martial arts, and the consequences will be unimaginable!" (To be continued......)
