The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 114 Visiting Shaolin
Juxian Village.

A feast can be described as a feast for the guests and the host, the You Clan's two heroes set up five tables and called out all the patrons from the manor to accompany them.

In the end, somehow it turned into a wine fight, with Xiao Feng and Lu Da facing dozens of guests of Juxian Village.

In the end, of course, the two wine barrels won a big victory, and dozens of diners were all poured down by them.

The You Clan's two heroes were so admired that they were so impressed that their scalps even tingled.

They have lived half their lives, but they have never seen such a person who drinks strong alcohol like cold water.

In the original plot, Xiao Feng fought in Juxianzhuang, killing dozens of Central Plains martial arts heroes, and was deeply feared by the Central Plains martial arts heroes.

Today, a big battle in another sense has turned dozens of people, but people can only admire and admire.

In the backyard, You Tanzhi said to the slightly drunk You brothers: "Father, Uncle, my son wants to join the Changkong Sword School to learn art, so please ask Uncle Daddy to speak to Li Juxia on my behalf."

As hosts, the two brothers had to entertain guests, so naturally they couldn't get as drunk as the rest of the guests.

Hearing You Tanzhi's words, the two brothers looked at each other, their eyes brightened.

You Ju wondered: "Didn't you hate practicing martial arts the most before? Why do you want to learn from a teacher?"

You TanZhi slightly dodged his gaze and said: "That's because your kids can't learn martial arts, the Changkong Sword School is so powerful all over the world, and all of its disciples are top-notch masters."

"Their martial arts must be unique, maybe the child can learn something?"

The two brothers nodded in agreement, but they didn't think much about it, but Mrs. You looked at her son suspiciously, guessing that things might not be that simple.

You Ju didn't notice it and said: "It's true, the Changkong Sword Sect is an inner sect that mainly focuses on Qi training. It is completely different from our martial arts. Maybe it will be more suitable for you."

The martial arts of the two brothers are not passed down from family, they are also passed down by teachers, so there is no need for You Tanzhi to pass them down.

This is also the reason why they agreed with You Tanzhi to abandon martial arts and follow literature.

They can take in apprentices in the future, and their martial arts will be passed on from the apprentices.

You Ji said: "Then let's mention this to Li Juxia tomorrow morning. I believe he will not refuse. As for how far you can go in the Changkong Sword Sect, it depends on your own ability."

You TanZhi said happily: "Thank you Uncle, please rest assured Father and Uncle, the child will not disappoint you."

They all know that the Changkong Sword Sect is divided into outer sect, inner sect, elites and direct disciples.

Li Mu already had sixteen direct disciples under his seat, and he hadn't accepted another apprentice for many years, so he didn't have to think about direct disciples of the head of the sect.

You Tanzhi has a certain foundation in martial arts, it is not like Bai Ding who has never practiced martial arts, even if he becomes an outer disciple, he will be able to enter the inner sect sooner or later.

As long as you enter the inner door, you must be a first-class master when you come out that day.

So as long as Li Mu is willing to accept You Tanzhi, they will be satisfied and have nothing else to ask for.

……

The next day, after breakfast and a short rest, Li Mu bid farewell.

Only then did You Ji speak: "Li Juxia, I have a merciless request."

Li Mudao: "Master You is too polite, please tell me."

You Ji called You Tanzhi and said: "That's right, Li Juxia also knows that Tan Zhi is not suitable to inherit the martial arts of my two brothers because of his physical condition."

"He has admired Li Juxia and the Changkong Sword Sect for a long time, and intends to become a disciple of the Changkong Sword Sect. What does Li Juxia think?"

Li Mu looked at You Tanzhi, smiled and said: "Since the owner of the village has spoken, I naturally have to give this face, but I have to say some things first."

"I think the two of you know the purpose of my Changkong Sword Sect. Changkong disciples learn martial arts not for the purpose of becoming famous and striving for fame and fortune, not to mention bullying the weak."

"When you enter the sect of my Changkong Sword Sect, you must always keep in mind the words 'the great man is for the country and the people'."

"If you live up to these eight characters, the martial arts bestowed on you by the sect will be withdrawn at any time and you will be expelled from the sect."

"The Long Sky Sword Sect is indeed very strong, but as the saying goes, it can benefit the world at the same time. The stronger the ability, the heavier the responsibility on the shoulders."

"Frankly, are you willing to take up this responsibility and fight for the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty and the peace of tens of thousands of people in the Great Song Dynasty all your life?"

After hearing Li Mu's words, You Tanzhi, who didn't think much about it at all, just wanted to get closer to the Master, couldn't help thinking seriously.

Yes!Her father is Li Juxia, and the brothers and sisters in her school are all heroes and women who serve the country and the people.

If I joined the Changkong Sword Sect just because of her, how can I be worthy of her?
However, serving the country and the people is such a heavy responsibility, can I do it?
Seeing his son frozen in place, You Ju couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and was about to step forward to say something, but Li Mu raised his hand to stop him.

Li Mu's voice transmission sounded close to his ears: "Don't worry, let him think about it."

You Ju just gave up and just looked at his son expectantly.

After a while, You Tanzhi came back to his senses, cupped his fists respectfully at Li Mugong, and said solemnly: "Li Juxia, this junior can't give you an answer right now."

"Because the juniors really don't know if they can shoulder this heavy responsibility."

"But the younger generation will definitely work hard. Even if they are not capable enough, they will definitely not discredit the Changkong Sword Sect, let alone shame those words."

"Hehehe..." Li Mu chuckled a few times, and said to the two heroes of the You Clan, "Very good, although he lacks a bit of vigor and self-confidence, but at least he is honest enough, he is an open-minded gentleman."

Xiao Feng also nodded with a smile on his face, knowing his own shortcomings, he will work harder and forge ahead, which is much better than those people who have high eyesight but low power, and talk big.

You Ji heard that although Li Mu's evaluation of You Tanzhi was not high, but he was very satisfied, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

He looked at You Tanzhi and said, "It seems that you have read the books these few years, and finally you have not read them in vain."

Li Mu smiled and said, "This disciple of the Changkong Sword Sect has been accepted, but I have already accepted a closed disciple, so I will not accept any more disciples."

"I will write a handwritten letter in a while. You take my handwritten letter and go to Liangshan to find an elder named Xu Renjie. He will accept you as a personal disciple."

Xu Renjie is Ruan Xingzhu's eldest cousin. He is 35 years old now, just reaching the age threshold for accepting personal disciples, so he has not yet accepted apprentices.

You TanZhi worshiped under his sect, he is his first disciple.

The reason why Li Mu asked Xu Renjie to accept him, not Xu Shiying and Xu Shihao's generation, was because Xu Renjie was of his generation.

If You Tanzhi worships under his sect, he is in the same generation as AZi, if he worships under Xu Shiying's generation, he will be in the same generation as Li Muping, one generation higher than AZi, then it will be troublesome again.

Hearing Li Mu's words, the two Heroes of the You Clan couldn't help being overjoyed. Originally, as long as You Tanzhi could worship under the Changkong Sword Sect, even if he was an outer disciple, they would be satisfied.

But he didn't expect that Li Mu would save face so much and give You Tanzhi the title of a direct disciple, this is really a surprise.

"Thank you Li Juxia, Tan Zhi, why don't you meet the master and all senior brothers and sisters?"

You Tanzhi bowed down on his knees in a good manner: "You Tanzhi pays homage to the sect master, madam, senior brother and all senior brothers and sisters."

Li Mu nodded and said: "Get up! You go to Liangshan first, and practice kung fu with Master. When we finish our trip, we will return to the sect to see you."

"Disciple obeys."

In fact, You TanZhi wanted to go with them, but he knew that he hadn't started yet and didn't know martial arts, following them was just a burden, so naturally he didn't dare to say this, lest he would offend everyone.

Anyway, when he joins the Changkong Sword Sect, he will have a long time to come, and there will be opportunities to see her in the future, so he is not in a hurry.

……

After writing a personal letter for You Tanzhi, Li Mu and his party bid farewell to the two heroes of the You Clan, and drove to Songshan Mountain.

Hurrying quickly, I finally arrived in Dengfeng before dark, rested in the city for one night, and went up the mountain early the next morning.

Li Mu bought a lot of food, wine and rice, and asked his disciples to take them up the mountain. Some of them were given to Qiao Sanhuai and his wife, and some were their own food.

These guys are all very edible. A meal for a dozen or so people is likely to eat half a month's rations for Qiao Sanhuai and his wife. How dare they.

Since Xiao Feng became the head of the beggar gang, he rarely returned home.

It wasn't that he was unfilial, and it wasn't just that he couldn't get away from too many affairs.

It was because he, as the leader of the largest beggar gang in the world, came to the territory of Shaolin Temple, and Shaolin couldn't turn a blind eye to it, and all kinds of ceremonies and ostentations caused a lot of sensations.

This is not something that Xiao Feng can exonerate just because he doesn't need it, because it concerns the face of the world's largest gang, and Shaolin himself can't lose his manners.

Therefore, every year, he just sends people to offer food and clothing to his parents and mentors, and he will not go home at all.

Qiao Sanhuai and his wife have Shaolin Temple to take care of them, so nothing will happen.

Now that he has returned to his hometown, his state of mind is completely different.

Walking on the mountain road, Xiao Feng said to Li Mu with a lot of emotion: "Back then, my parents accidentally said that I wronged me by following them."

"I didn't understand it back then. It's only natural for a son to be born in poverty if his parents are poor. Why should he be wronged or wronged?"

"On weekdays, my parents treat me surprisingly politely, not only politely, but respectfully."

"But when I was young, and it was like this since I was a child, I took it for granted. How could I expect so much? Now that I know my own life experience, everything suddenly dawns on me."

After listening to Xiao Feng's words, Li Mu pondered and said: "Now that your life experience has been revealed, your adoptive parents probably don't know about it yet."

"They're just ordinary people, so there's no need to tell them anything, everything is business as usual."

Xiao Feng happily nodded and said: "I think so too."

Although today I mainly came to visit Master Xuanci, but since I returned to Shaoshi Mountain, how could I not visit my adoptive parents?
Arriving in the sun of Shaoshi Mountain, turn around a hillside, and you can see a small farmyard surrounded by three earthen houses with a wooden fence.

In front of the earthen house is a vegetable garden, in the yard there is a jujube tree, under the jujube tree there is a straw hat and an old teapot.

A bamboo mat outside the house was covered with dried vegetables, and a hen with a flock of chicks was pecking among the grass.

After entering the courtyard, Xiao Feng called out loudly: "Father, Mother, the child is back."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound in the house, Qiao Sanhuai and his wife soon appeared in front of the door, seeing Xiao Feng couldn't help being pleasantly surprised.

"Feng'er, you're back."

Qiao Sanhuai and his wife are an ordinary, honest peasant couple, their hair is already gray, their faces are full of wrinkles, they look at Xiao Feng with kind eyes.

Xiao Feng stepped forward excitedly, grabbed the old father's hand, and said loudly: "Father, mother, the child is back to see you."

Talking loudly is not because of excitement, but because the adoptive parents are hard of hearing, and they can't hear at all if they don't speak loudly.

The couple looked Xiao Feng up and down, and the more they looked, the happier they were, Xiao Feng was tall and majestic, so they were the happier parents than anyone else.

"Okay, okay." Qiao Sanhuai's eyes were red, he hadn't seen his son in [-], and the couple couldn't help it.

Fortunately, even though they were deaf and their eyes were not blurred, they saw Li Mu and others behind Xiao Feng.

Mother Qiao asked Xiao Feng loudly: "Feng'er, are these all heroes from the Beggar Gang?"

Because of deafness, I can't even hear myself if I don't speak loudly, and I don't know if I have said something. People with deafness will speak loudly unconsciously.

The couple are used to talking loudly, but their voices are not small, and they are full of energy.

Seeing this, Li Mu took the initiative to lead everyone forward, with a friendly smile on his face.

Xiao Feng turned sideways and introduced: "No, father, mother, this is another master I worship, this is my teacher's wife, these are my juniors and younger sisters."

Qiao Sanhuai was ten years older than Li Mu. Li Mu smiled and said, "Old brother, sister-in-law. My name is Li Mu. I'm also Feng'er's master just like Master Wang of the Beggar Gang."

Qiao Sanhuai hurriedly clasped her fists in return and said, "Master Li is good."

Qiao's mother whispered in Xiao Feng's ear: "Feng'er, why does your master seem to be about the same age as you? Your teacher's wife looks younger than you."

Her low voice, which she thinks is heard by everyone, is about the same volume as other people's normal speech.

"Puchi"

Azhu Azi and the sisters couldn't help laughing, and Lu Da and the others were also overjoyed.

When Ruan Xingzhu heard that she was young, she was naturally very happy.

Li Mu laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, don't look at me like this, I'm 52 years old this year!"

Mother Qiao said in surprise: "52? That's not like it!"

Xiao Feng said dumbfoundedly: "Mother, master and wife have profound internal energy, so they look very young."

"Oh, that's what happened."

Qiao Sanhuai smiled shyly at Li Mu: "The old lady in the country has no knowledge. Master Li laughed at me. Please sit in the room."

Although Qiao Sanhuai's earthen house is dilapidated, the main room is quite large.

There is a small weaving machine by the door, a square table in the center of the room, and four long benches beside the table.

There were several long benches stacked on top of the wall, Qiao Sanhuai took the stools down, wiped them with a rag, and then put them away for everyone to sit on.

Naturally, people in the Jianghu have nothing in common with farmers and women, so Li Mu chatted with the couple about their parents' family affairs and trivial matters of life.

After sitting at home for more than half an hour, Xiao Feng took the initiative to propose to the elders that he planned to go up the mountain to visit his benefactor, Master Xuan Ku.

Qiao Sanhuai and his wife naturally had no objection, they just told them to come back for dinner.

Li Mu asked Ruan Xingzhu and others to stay here, and only he and Xiao Feng went to Shaolin Temple.

After all, they didn't go to cause trouble and fight, there was no need to go to so many people, if something happened, it would be easier for him and Xiao Feng to escape.

……

In front of the vermilion gate of Shaolin Temple, the Zhike monk asked the two of them: "What are the two benefactors doing?"

With an approachable smile on his face, Li Mu said: "Please inform that the Sky Sword Sect Li Mu, along with his disciple Xiao Feng, is here to visit Abbot Xuanci."

The Zhike monk was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed and said: "It turns out that Li Juxia is in person, please wait a moment, the monk will report to the abbot immediately."

"It's work."

Zhike Monk ran towards the temple as if his butt was on fire, while Li Mu and Xiao Feng withdrew a certain distance outside, leaving room for Shaolin Temple to put on a show.

After a while, bells sounded continuously in the temple, obviously calling the first elders of each courtyard.

In less than a cup of tea, there were chaotic footsteps in the temple gate.

The gate of the temple was wide open, and two teams of Shaolin monks in gray robes came out in a file.

Then a group of old monks in bright yellow robes and cassocks walked out of the temple gate.

The leader wears a bright red cassock, tall and majestic, while the cassocks of the other monks are dark red.

The old monk who was the leader walked up to half a foot in front of Li Mu and stood still, He Shi bowed his body and said, "Li Juxia is here, Xuanci is far away to welcome him, it's a sin."

Li Mu clasped his fists in return and said, "Master Abbot, you are too polite. Li is taking the liberty to disturb you. I hope Master will be gracious."

All the eminent monks of the Xuan family in the temple have come out with Xuanci, including: Xuan Nan, the head of the Bodhidharma Academy, Xuan Ji, the head of the Precepts Academy, Xuan Jing, the head of the Bodhi Academy, and Xuan Ku, the head of the Dao Temple.

In addition to these chief seats, there are Xuan Du, Xuan Bei, Xuan Tong, Xuan Sha, Xuan Sha, Xuan Sheng, Xuan Mie, Xuan Jiu, Xuan Nian, Xuan Shi, Xuan Ming and so on.

There are more than [-] eminent monks of Shaolin Xuanzi generation, and those at the bottom are at the level of first-class masters in the world, most of them are top masters.

If there hadn't been a long sky sword sect in the martial arts, Shaolin would be the undisputed number one sect in the world.

In the original plot, because the Shaolin Temple received the news that the four villains were about to go to Dali to cause trouble, they sent Xuan Bei to Dali to report the news, but was killed by Murong Bo.

Now that even the Four Great Evil Men don't exist, naturally there is no such thing, so Xuan Bei is still alive and well.

After Li Mu met with Xuan Ci, Xiao Feng took a step forward, cupped his fists and said, "Xiao Feng met all the masters."

Hearing that he called himself Xiao Feng, he had obviously found out his background, all the monks looked at him with complicated eyes, and Heshi proclaimed the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, so good."

Although the beggar gang blocked the news, Shaolin has a lot to do with this matter, they will not hide it, so Shaolin has already received the letter from the beggar gang.

They also guessed that Xiao Feng would come to the door soon, because Xiao Feng was able to hide the identity of the leading brother, but he was determined not to hide the identity of the Changkong Sword Sect.

After meeting the monks, Xiao Feng bowed down to a benevolent old monk alone: ​​"Disciple Xiao Feng pays his respects to Master, Master is as healthy as ever, and this disciple is very happy."

It is public to meet the monks first, and it is private to pay homage to the teacher alone. In the martial arts, people in the martial arts are originally public first and then private, and public and private are clearly distinguished.

Master Xuan Ku sighed softly, stepped forward to support Xiao Feng, and said softly: "My good boy, I have heard about you from time to time as a teacher these years, you have done a good job, you have not disappointed my teacher."

"I just hope that you will not be affected by the past, and insist on being yourself, so that you will not lose your way. Remember, remember."

What he said was similar to Li Mu's, they were all sincerely for Xiao Feng's good, Xiao Feng could hear it naturally.

Xiao Feng said with red eyes: "Disciple remember Master's teachings."

"Amitabha." Master Xuanku said happily.

Seeing that the two parties had finished exchanging greetings, Xuanci turned sideways and said, "Li Juxia is here in our temple, our temple is full of splendor, please come inside."

"Master Abbot, please."

Li Mu and Xiao Feng followed the monks into the temple, Xuan Ci and his party led them to the Daxiong Hall, then sent away a group of junior disciples, leaving only the senior monks of Xuan Ci.

"Li Juxia visited our temple, what can I learn from you?"
