"Thank you very much, this matter is very important to Shaolin, why don't we go inside and discuss it in detail!"

Master Xin Ji took the list and said.

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and led Shang Yi and others towards the mountain gate.

Shang Yi, Meng Qi and others didn't think anything of it when they first arrived, but Zhang Yuanshan, Jiang Zhiwei and others looked surprised.

When they came to Shaolin Temple before, although Shaolin treated them with courtesy, there was no plan to let them recuperate in Shaolin Temple. But now they were brought into Shaolin, it was obvious that Shang Yi's sudden realization just now made Master Xin Ji look at him with a higher regard, so he invited them into the temple!
The mountain road was winding and the forest was lush and green. A group of people talked as they walked.

Shang Yi discussed Buddhist principles with Master Xin Ji. Both the host and the guests had a great time and both gained something. Master Xin Ji even regarded Shang Yi as a fellow traveler.

Looking at his enthusiasm, if Shaolin Temple was not facing a disaster now, he would have wanted to invite Shang Yi to become a monk in Shaolin Temple and become the abbot of Bodhi Temple!

Jiang Zhiwei and others in the back were also surprised. Shang Yi was only about sixteen or seventeen years old, but his attainments in Buddhism were so great that Master Xin Ji, who had practiced Buddhism for decades, felt inferior to him. This showed how profound his Buddhist knowledge was.

Then, the two talked about what happened just now. Shang Yi did not hide it, but said:

"Shaohua Mountain is a quiet place for Buddhists. The monks have practiced for many years and have acquired a certain Zen spirit. In addition, the sound of the bell is melodious and profound, which soothes people's hearts. Therefore, I have some insights in my heart. Combining my own practice methods with the simple Golden Bell Cover circulated in the martial arts world, I have created a new method of self-defense - the Free Heart Bell!"

Master Xin Ji's expression changed, and he put his hands together and said:
"To be able to move forward and backward without hindrance is called freedom. Also, to be free from the bondage of afflictions and to be able to understand without hindrance is called freedom.

Donor Huaikong has reached a great state of mind. With this "Zi Zai Xin Zhong", you can go anywhere in the world!"

Just as Master Xin Ji put his hands together and bowed lightly to Shang Yi, "Xiang Hui", who had been following behind the few people, had appeared behind Master Xin Ji at some point, and with the speed of a ghost, he pressed his palm towards the back of Master Xin Ji.

"Humph!"

Shang Yi snorted coldly, and an illusory giant bell suddenly appeared around Master Xin Ji, covering Master Xin Ji. "Xiang Hui" pressed his palm on the illusory golden bell.

"Ding~~~"

As a bell rang, the sneak attack by "Xiang Hui" vomited blood and flew backwards.

Shang Yi shouted:

"You are not Xiang Hui, who are you!?"

"Haha, the general asked me to say hello to the abbot!"

"Xiang Hui" laughed loudly and slipped out of the hall as fast as a wisp of smoke.

Shang Yi sneered and said:

"Want to run away? Wishful thinking!"

As he spoke, the Zizai Heart Bell started to move, and an illusory golden bell fell directly on Xiang Hui's head, trapping him in the golden bell, making it difficult for him to escape.

Master Xin Ji, Jiang Zhiwei, Zhang Yuanshan and Qing Jing also reacted very quickly and surrounded "Xiang Hui" in the golden bell.

"Damn it, I should have interrupted your epiphany just now!"

"Xiang Hui" shouted with a resentful look.

At this time, a certain abbot next to Xin Ji spoke in astonishment:
"The ever-changing scholar!"

Meng Qi suddenly realized that Xiang Hui had died in the second attack and was replaced by the "Baibian Scholar"!
Meng Qi suddenly shuddered at the thought of spending a whole day with such a terrifying enemy.

Fortunately, his target was not me!

The "Versatile Scholar" was famous for his disguise, camouflage and martial arts skills. In just one breath, he used up all his internal energy inside the golden bell to try to escape.

However, he was horrified to find that no matter what he did, he could not shake the terrible golden bell.

At this moment, he regretted very much that he did not wake Shang Yi up when he fell into enlightenment just now. Moreover, along the way, he did not realize that Shang Yi's martial arts were so powerful!

At the same time, Shang Yi had appeared in front of the "Versatile Scholar". Instead of using the "Xuanniao Fan", he raised his hand and punched. A golden shadow flashed behind Shang Yi.

The shadow of the golden bell disappeared, and Shang Yi's right fist had already landed on the body of "The Scholar of Changes".

"Pfft~~~"

The expression of the scholar changed drastically, he spit out blood and flew backwards, right into the hands of Master Xinji.

Shang Yi said apologetically:
"Master Xin Ji, I'm so sorry. We are inexperienced and didn't realize that this 'Changeable Scholar' had disguised himself as our companion and sneaked in!"

Master Xin Ji handed the "Baibian Scholar" to the monk behind him, clasped his hands together and said:
“Donor Huaikong, there is no need for you young heroes to do this. This versatile scholar is proficient in disguise and has a cunning and sinister mind. Even some veteran warriors will fall for his tricks.

Moreover, his attack today did not cause any damage, and Donor Huaikong also captured him. Shaolin will never forget his kindness to us!"

Meng Qi and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time they secretly sighed at the dangers of the reincarnation world. "Xiang Hui" was almost as strong as Meng Qi, but he died here silently, which made Meng Qi more cautious!

"Namo Amitabha, is Donor Kuang okay? We haven't seen him for ten years, but I lost my sight and failed to recognize the benefactor."

Xin Ji turned calmly and looked at the versatile scholar.

After being captured, the versatile scholar knew that begging for mercy was futile, so he raised his head and laughed loudly:

"Haha, the abbot is old and dim-sighted, and he is no longer as glorious as he used to be. But the general thinks highly of you. If you can lead Shaolin to surrender, he will ask the emperor to appoint you as the national master, and make Shaolin the first temple of Buddhism, with constant incense and fertile fields!"

"Leading beasts to eat people is what Shura does, and I am ashamed to be in the same company."

There is a certain amount of pride in Xin Ji's words.

"Hmph, the only thing General is worried about is Master Fangzhang. Now that Master Fangzhang has been injured by me, who else can stop General? The dangerous mountain road? That can only stop ordinary masters and soldiers. For General, it is like walking on flat ground. By then, the pass will be useless!"

The versatile scholar failed to bribe him, so he immediately started to threaten him:
"Master Abbot, please don't let Shaolin's thousand-year foundation be destroyed in your hands!"

"Amitabha, there is no need to say more, the foundation of Shaolin is only in Buddhist philosophy and Zen." Xin Ji raised his sleeves and slapped a withered hand over the head of the scholar. "The battle is imminent, I can't hold back."

"You, you actually want to kill someone!" The scholar was shocked and frightened. He still imagined that Jiang Zhiwei and Zhang Yuanshan wanted to kill him and the Shaolin monks stopped them, but only abolished their martial arts. "Where are your precepts? Where is your Buddha? The general is coming soon, and you will die without a burial place!"

"Amitabha, Buddha has a compassionate heart, but also has the angry eyes of a diamond." Xin Ji said calmly, and gently brushed his hand over the head of the versatile scholar.

Suddenly, the versatile scholar widened his eyes with unwillingness and fell to the ground.

Shang Yi nodded slightly upon seeing this. This monk was not a pedantic person. Otherwise, if he kept the trouble of the Hundred-Change Scholar around, coupled with the traitor in the Shaolin Temple, something unexpected would definitely happen in the future!

Moreover, the scholar was so arrogant just now, wasn't it because he thought Xin Ji was a monk and would not kill any living beings? He was a little naive!

Suddenly, Shang Yi noticed that the golden Buddha statue was holding a flower and smiling, and flames rose up, weaving into words again and constantly changing.

"Side quest 1: Kill the 'Baibian Scholar', one of the four innate masters in the enemy camp. Shang Yi will be rewarded with 50 merits, Jiang Zhiwei, Zhang Yuanshan, and Zhen Ding will each be rewarded with 20 merits." "Side quest description: Kill one of the four innate masters in the enemy camp. Participants will receive corresponding merits based on the difficulty of the quest, strength comparison, and effort level."

"The second side mission starts: kill the general Doercha. Depending on the contribution, participants will be rewarded with rewards ranging from fifty to two hundred good deeds!"

"This, is this a side quest?" Meng Qi was a little bit unbelievable.

At this time, Zhang Yuanshan used secret voice transmission to speak to him, Huai Kong and Qi Zhengyan respectively:
"I didn't have time to explain in detail before. When I killed Guan Haoran, I started this side quest. Because I was the only one who took action, I gained fifty merits based on the comparison of strength. I think if you, Junior Brother Zhending, complete this quest independently, I'm afraid the reward will be more than a hundred."

Yeah, Meng Qi nodded. In this environment, he couldn't ask more questions, so he waited for Xin Ji to speak.

Xin Ji looked at the corpse of the scholar and was about to speak when an old monk with white eyebrows suddenly stood up from behind him and pointed at Meng Qi and the others in indignation and said:
"You spies actually brought the Hundred-Change Scholar into the temple and nearly harmed the abbot! What else do you intend to do?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the chief elders came forward one after another, as if intending to capture the few people.

Before Zhang Yuanshan opened his mouth to defend himself, Xin Ji waved his sleeves and said:
"Don't be so excited. The donors are not spies. They were probably just deceived by the Scholar of Change. If they were spies, when the Scholar of Change attacked me just now, Donor Huaikong, Donor Jiang, and Donor Zhang attacked me at the same time. With their strength, I'm afraid I would have died."

This reason was very convincing, and the excited situation subsided. However, the old monk with white eyebrows still said with a serious face:
"The origins of several donors are unclear. Perhaps most of them are indeed righteous men, but who can say that there are no people like the Hundred-Change Scholar? They were not exposed just now, and perhaps they have far-reaching plans. Before they are clearly identified, they should not be allowed to stay in the temple for long."

Shang Yi's expression remained unchanged and he did not speak. In his heart, he was wondering if this man was one of the traitors. After all, what happened just now was very obvious. But the old monk with white eyebrows still spoke like this, which made him very suspicious!

"This will discourage the heroes who come to help." A middle-aged monk said hesitantly.

The white-browed old monk said firmly: "The abbot was almost ambushed and injured. We can't take any more risks. Besides, there are so many people here. There may be many barbarian spies among the heroes. It's better to let them go home."

Xin Ji sighed and said to Zhang Yuanshan, "There are some disputes and discussions in the temple, which are inconvenient for you donors to hear. Please go down the mountain first. We will notify you after we have discussed the results."

Although they felt a little aggrieved about being wrongly accused, Zhang Yuanshan, Jiang Zhiwei and the others were all from big sects and were young, so they were not in a position to turn against their superiors.

Shang Yi transmitted the message:
"We do have to leave. After all, the list of traitors has been delivered. If Shaolin doesn't want a fire in the backyard on the day of the war, we must deal with those traitors quickly!"

These words did help Jiang Zhiwei and the others to ease their frustration a little, and they said goodbye, left the temple and returned to the foot of the mountain.

"If we can't enter the temple, how can we hold on until the last moment?" Wang Jin, who had not had any communication with Meng Qi and others, suddenly said while walking on the mountain road.

Zhang Yuanshan pondered for a moment and said, "I hope that the discussion will lead to a good result. Besides, if we hold on at the foot of the mountain, we will also hold on to Shaolin. However, this is too dangerous. Hmm, Junior Brother Zhending, do you know the secret passage to Shaolin?"

He didn't want to be too conventional and wanted to sneak into Shaolin through the secret passage. This place was very similar to the Shaolin in the main world, so it seemed right to ask Meng Qi.

"I have been in the temple for less than a year, how would I know such secrets?" Meng Qi replied helplessly.

Qi Zhengyan suddenly spoke in a muffled voice: "Then we can sneak into Shaolin when the barbarian army breaks through the pass. We should be careful before that."

Shang Yi said:

"I guess Shaolin Temple has already thought about abandoning the temple and leaving. As long as the monks and Buddhist scriptures are there, Shaolin Temple can be rebuilt on another mountain at any time!"

Zhang Yuanshan sighed:
“Indeed, I also doubt Shaolin’s determination to hold on.

Maybe they will arrange for promising disciples to leave secretly with secret books, relics and other things. In that case, it doesn’t matter whether we are spies or not, we will definitely be accepted into the temple.”

"I hope it's as Senior Brother Zhang said." Qi Zhengyan nodded.

Jiang Zhiwei, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up: "If we cannot enter the temple and complete the main mission, then we will try our best to kill Duoercha. This way, each of us will have at least 50 good deeds, plus the previous accumulation, which will be enough to deduct."

This, this is really a typical Jiang Zhiwei idea... Meng Qi muttered in his heart.

At this time, Zhang Yuanshan said solemnly: "Xiang Hui was replaced by the Scholar of Changes without our knowledge. He talked a lot about the reincarnation world in front of him, but why were we not wiped out?"

"Perhaps in this situation, the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation would tamper with the hearing of the Scholar of Change. After all, it is impossible for him to remind us to be careful of the 'traitor', and our mistake was unintentional." Meng Qi guessed.

At this point, the Scholar of Changes is dead, but he and others have not been wiped out yet. This is the only explanation.

Suddenly, the stones on the road in front of them began to move and formed words.

"The list of traitors is sent to Shaolin. Once the main mission is completed, each person who enters the temple will be rewarded with 50 good deeds."

"Main Quest 2 is now open: Defend Shaolin until the last moment, and do not escape early. Success will reward you with 100 merits, and failure will deduct 100 merits."

Shang Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and said:
"Master Xin Ji finally looked at the list of traitors, otherwise I would have thought that our list of traitors had also been swapped!"

Meng Qi was also thankful:
"It's a good thing we didn't discuss the list of traitors at the time, otherwise it might have been stolen by the Hundred-Change Scholar!"

During the discussion, several people returned to the inn, but found it was gloomy and gloomy. Everyone was silent and fearful.

"Master Wei, what happened?" Meng Qi called out to Wei Wuji who was not far away.

Wei Wuji walked over quickly, looked at Zhang Yuanshan, and said in shock and fear: "Master Zhang, Master Lin has been killed!"

"What?" No matter how calm Zhang Yuanshan was, he couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise. Lin Biexue, who had just been drinking tea and drinking with him, was actually murdered?
"Yes, Master Lin's servant saw that the time for his meditation and breathing adjustment had passed, so he went in to clean up, but found him lying on the bed, his death in a strange way." Wei Wuji said with fear.

"Take us over to have a look." Zhang Yuanshan ordered in a deep voice.

Meng Qi also found this matter very strange, so he did not object and followed them to the second floor and entered Lin Biexue's room.

In the room, Lin Biexue lay silently on the bed with a smile on his face, peaceful and tranquil, as if he had been liberated and given a new life, without any pain. However, the skin and muscles below his neck had turned yellow and shrunken, as if he had been a dried corpse for many years. His death was extremely strange!

"This way of dying seems familiar, yet a little different..." Zhang Yuanshan looked at Jiang Zhiwei in confusion.

Jiang Zhiwei nodded, indicating that she had similar feelings.

Bang! There was a sound from the door.

Meng Qi and the others looked back and saw Xiao Zi backing away repeatedly with a pale face, and he didn't feel anything even when he bumped into the opposite wall.

"Xiao Sang, Xiao Sang is here too..." She shook her head as if in a dream.

Shang Yi walked forward with a frown, looked at it carefully for a long time, and hesitated in his heart.

The person who took action was obviously Gu Xiaosang, but Sect Leader Lin Shao had no grudge against him, so he killed him directly, yet left him a glimmer of hope.

This is to scare Meng Qi, but also to test myself, to see if I have the means to save him! ?

Shang Yi didn't know whether this was Gu Xiaosang's idea or the Golden Emperor's idea.

Finally, Shang Yi decided to take action. Since the Golden Emperor had already made a move, he had to accept it even if he didn't want to. Otherwise, if it was Young Master Lin who was in charge today, would it be someone else except Meng Qi tomorrow? ?
"Don't worry, Lin Bie Xue still has a glimmer of life buried deep inside his body. He is not completely dead, but in a strange state of suspended animation!"

As he spoke, Shang Yi put his hands together, and his body radiated golden light, like a Vajra Arhat. He whispered:

"Feeding tigers and eagles is like sacrificing one's life for the sake of righteousness!" (End
