Chapter 84 Chapter 84 Confronting Shaolin

Tong Bao led Ling Haotian into the bamboo forest along the path, and after walking out for a while, he saw a small courtyard house surrounded by the bamboo forest. In front of the house was a large stone slab, full of noisy people; the east side was all Taoist priests, The west side was full of beggars, and among them stood two old monks wearing scarlet cassocks, one tall and thin and the other short and fat. If they hadn't shaved their heads and had ring scars on them, they would have looked like two people talking about cross talk.A middle-aged Taoist priest with a solemn appearance stood in front of the Taoist priests and was speaking.From time to time, some people hissed in the crowd of beggars, and there were intermittent shouts and curses from the group of Taoists, telling the beggars to silence.

But the Taoist said loudly: "Master Qingxian is right, Junior Brother Wang Yufeng died for no reason, so I have to think about the most suspicious murderer."Junior brother Wang suffered multiple stick wounds, apparently died of being besieged.At that time, the only people at the foot of Wudang Mountain were the disciples of the Beggars' Clan. If I didn't settle accounts with the Beggars' Clan, who would I turn to?As soon as this remark came out, the beggar gang clamored loudly and became angry.The little old monk waved to silence everyone, but no one paid any attention.The tall and thin monk had a worried expression on his face, and he lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Tong Bao said in a low voice: The shorter old monk is Master Qingde, the head of the Fuhu Hall of this temple, and the taller one is Master Qingxian, the head of the Prajna Hall.Master Qingxian was seldom on the mountain, he either went on a wandering trip or was in seclusion, this time he came back for the righteous meeting.Ling Haotian nodded. Wu Sanshi waved his hand, and the beggar gang fell silent. He looked at Qingde and said: Master Qingde, as the master of Fuhu Hall in Shaolin, you should say something. The short and fat old monk Qingde hummed, frowned and remained silent, looking very difficult to make a decision, he hesitated for a while, and then said: "The old monk also thinks that Qingxian is right.I have known Li Daochang for many years. He is a man who keeps his word, so he should be trustworthy.In my opinion, both parties in this matter are unavoidably wrong, and it is likely to be a misunderstanding. Well, in my opinion, the beggar gang will apologize to Wudang. Fair enough.

Listening to the old monk's words, Ling Haotian was so naive, like a three-year-old child, he couldn't help shaking his head secretly. Wu Sanshi sneered and said: Master Qingde, you and Li Daochang have a deep personal relationship, who in the world doesn't know?But we came to Shaolin to seek justice, not to see who has a better personal relationship with you.Li Daochang keeps his word, but my old beggar is talking fart?My papaya brother died at the foot of Wudang Mountain. If I don’t ask Wudang for my life, who will I ask for my life? Qingde was robbed by him for a while, he hesitated and couldn't speak.The tall and thin old monk Qingxian shook his head and said: Amitabha.Lord Wu, I, Shaolin, kindly came forward to mediate, if you have no respect for my brother, why bother to come to Shaolin Temple?If you look down on my Shaolin Temple, how much respect can you have for Wudang.I don't have any friendship with Head Li. Today, after seeing him, I learned that Head Li is a master of Taoism, not a tyrannical person. I just want to find out the cause of brother Wang Yufeng's death.If the beggar gang knows a little bit of the truth, they can tell a little bit, which will help the matter.He speaks with a very heavy Beijing accent, his tone is flat, but his voice drowns out all noises, revealing a very deep internal force, everyone present can hear clearly, all the beggars listened to the above multiplied internal force concentrated in his words, His complexion couldn't help but change slightly.

Ling Haotian's heart trembled: This person's inner strength is so deep, it's rare in the world, I'm afraid he's not inferior to his father.But he saw Wu Sanshi's face was very ugly, staring at Qing Xian without saying a word.Lai Gujiu took a step forward and said loudly: Master Qingxian wants to intimidate the gang with Shaolin martial arts?I said that we went to Shaolin to talk about reason, so Shaolin only knows how to solve it by force, it really makes people laugh!If you want to be strong, use it as strong as you want, how can my gang of beggars be afraid of you?The beggar gang disciples all applauded loudly.

Qing Xian He Shi said: Elder Lai, please calm down.The affairs of the world could not carry a word of reason.I, Shaolin, can only mediate and do my best.The death of the Papaya Elder of the Guibang is indeed very suspicious.Gang Leader Wu is right. The Wudang faction should know what happened at the foot of Wudang Mountain most clearly.If Guibang and Wudang have indeed formed a deep hatred, then karma will never be happy, and how the two parties are willing to resolve it is beyond my intermediary's ability to comment. Ling Haotian frowned and thought to himself: This old monk Qingxian has a benevolent and worried look, but he said such words, as if he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

Wu Sanshi let out a hey voice, and shouted loudly: "Sect Leader Li, a life for a life, you hand over the murderer who killed Elder Papaya, and I will let you Wudang faction go."If you don't accept it, just let the horse come over, and we will see the truth under our hands! Li Chengfeng raised his eyebrows, stepped forward slowly, and said with a sneer: "The beggar gang is very powerful in the Jianghu, but they are not worthy of being fierce in front of my Wudang!"With a bang, the long sword was unsheathed. Yi Lima shouted: Gang Leader, let us deal with him!He rushed out with the three-legged dog, and the iron crutches and iron bars pointed at Li Chengfeng's vitals.Li Chengfeng sneered and said: "The beggar gang is best at suppressing the few with the more, are you going to demonstrate it in front of everyone today?"The three-legged dog said: "My brothers have always joined hands to fight against the enemy. Does the head of Li not dare to accept the move?"Li Chengfeng said: Am I afraid of you?With a flash of the long sword, it stabbed at the three-legged dog.

Wu Sanshi suddenly shouted: Wait a minute!The bamboo stick was pointed out, and it was pressing on the iron crutches of Three-legged Dog and Yi Lima, and said: "What kind of person is the head of Wudang, you all stand back, let me learn Wudang's brilliant moves."He saw Li Chengfeng's long sword moving slightly, knowing that the two beggars and horses could not block his sword move, he immediately shouted to stop.Lai Gujiu said in a low voice: Chief, form a lotus formation? Wu Sanshi shook his head, and said: I want the brothers to put on a dog fight.Lai Gujiu's complexion changed, and he shouted: "Bangzhu!"He knew well that dog fighting formations are better than defensive positions, Wu Sanshi obviously wanted to fight on the field by himself, but he was not fully sure, so he asked his disciples to form dog fighting formations, leaving a retreat for the beggars' gang.Wang Mi Tuo also knew that the situation was critical, and he was anxious, he took a step forward and said: "The leader is old, how can he fight against the younger generation?"Let me wait to ask Master Li for advice.

Wu Sanshi shook his head, thinking to himself that in terms of skill, he was the only one in the beggar gang who could catch Li Chengfeng's long sword, so he waved his hand to let the disciples of the beggar gang retreat, strode forward, and stared at the tip of Li Chengfeng's sword , said lightly: In the past, Master Ling Xian and I had some friendship with Daoist Wang, but today you, a little Taoist, dare to draw your sword at the old beggar. Li Chengfeng said coldly: I respect you as an elder, and I didn't want to embarrass you.Since you have the courage to call out to the head of Wudang, how can I not ask the beggar gang for dog-beating stick method?

Wu Sanshi snorted, and shouted: Take the move!With a flash of green shadow, the dog-beating stick slashed at Li Chengfeng horizontally. The move was fast and clever, and a good move would not block the way.Li Chengfeng blocked it with his sword, and counterattacked back. He made seven or eight moves in an instant with one sword and one stick.It should be known that Wu Sanshi debuted for more than 60 years, he traveled all over the country with a dog-beating stick, and never met an opponent; but after all, he is old, his physical strength is weak, and he has never fought an enemy for more than ten years.Li Chengfeng is in his prime of life, he has been in charge of Wudang for more than ten years, and he has long been recognized as a master of swordsmanship in the martial arts. Spirit, the first move is the master move in Wudang Sixiang swordsmanship.

The two each showed their unique moves, and when they reached the tenth move, they suddenly heard the sound of the wind, and an object flew towards the field at high speed. It fell to the ground and was smashed to pieces, the juice splashed everywhere, the smell of wine was strong, it turned out to be a wine jar.The two men's offensive only slowed down for a while, and then they fought again.After less than two moves, three wine jars flew into the arena one after another, they seemed to have calculated the fighting position of the two of them, and blocked the attack of the long sword and bamboo stick.When the fifth jar of wine flew out, Wu Sanshi and Li Chengfeng had no choice but to back away. Li Chengfeng shouted: Who dares to make trouble?come out for me!He only thought that the elders of the beggar sect deliberately threw objects to disturb his mind, but Wu Sanshi turned his head to look at Qingde and Qingxian, and said that among the people present, only the eminent monks from Shaolin could have such hand strength. But I heard a person laughing loudly, striding out, shouting in his mouth: "Good wine, good wine!" Li Chengfeng and Wu Sanshi turned their heads to look together, only to see that it was a young man in his twenties, dressed in shabby clothes, looking very unconsummate, it was Ling Haotian.
