No taboos in the world

Chapter 151 The Way to Death, the Sweeping Monk

In Shaoshi Mountain, all the heroes are paying attention.

Facing thousands of heroes in the martial arts world, Xuan Ci spoke slowly.

"Amitabha, I have three reasons. First, he and Xiao Feng are as close as brothers. For Xiao Feng's sake, he did not hesitate to cause a big disturbance at the Beggars' Sect headquarters, killed the elders of the Beggars' Sect, and forcibly ascended to the position of leader. Xiao Feng once declared that he would neither attack Liao nor Song in his lifetime. I'm afraid that Leader Hong will be easily influenced by him."

Everyone couldn't help but look at Xiao Feng beside Hong Chen.

This Khitan man was once a famous hero in the Central Plains martial arts world. Later, he lost all his reputation because of a letter and was almost wanted by everyone. But later, when the evil dragon appeared, he regained the position of deputy leader of the Beggars' Sect and actually took over the power of the leader. No one dared to say anything about him anymore.

The friendship between the two Beggars' Sect members is beyond doubt.

What Abbot Xuanci said does make sense.

Xiao Feng's grip on the cup tightened involuntarily, his brows almost knotted into a knot.

"Secondly, he was ruthless and merciless, killing people without restraint, and many innocent people died. If he were the leader of the martial arts world, I'm afraid there would be too many sacrifices, and the Central Plains martial arts world would not be able to withstand a catastrophe."

There is nothing much to say about this. There are indeed many innocent people among those forces that were wiped out.

But in reality, when it comes to personal revenge, how many people can really tell who is innocent?

The so-called revenge in the underworld is different from the court trial. Besides, wouldn't the court's punishment of killing nine generations of a clan implicate innocent people?
However, if there is such a cruel and ruthless leader in the martial arts world, it is indeed not a good thing for everyone.

Ah Zi bared her teeth viciously: "Brother-in-law, give me the medicine. I am going to poke hundreds of holes in this old monk's body today!"

Mu Wanqing: "Sir, stop listening to his nonsense, let's just start killing him!"

A-Bi: "The Shaolin monk is spreading rumors and misleading people. It's really disappointing."

Wang Yuyan: "Today, I finally understand why you want to leave Shaolin."

"Third, if he were to rule the Central Plains martial arts world, he might sacrifice public power for personal gain. As far as I know, he... might have the intention of overthrowing the world and becoming the emperor."

If it was just an uproar before.

So now there is shock and noise.

rebel!

This is an event that would cause great shock wherever it happens.

Moreover, putting this word together with the evil dragon is inexplicably convincing.

People. The thing that the Beggars' Sect has the most is people, and he is also the leader of Lingjiu Palace and Xiaoyao Sect.

Money, no one can guess how much money Zui Hongchen can make.

The evil dragon of the Beggars' Sect and the Tianlong of Shaolin, who in the world does not know about them? There are countless admirers and followers.

Thinking of this, everyone suddenly felt that it would be a pity not to rebel given these conditions...

Then, everyone's eyes suddenly changed.

There is vigilance and fear. Rebellion is a serious crime punishable by death and extermination of nine generations of the family. People in the martial arts world despise the court, but dare not ignore it.

There is excitement and excitement. Rebellion is a big risk and represents great interests. No matter how famous you are in the underworld, how can it compare to being a marquis or a prime minister? If he really wants to rebel, can we still get the merit of following him and become important officials of the founding of the country?
“Nonsense!!”

Xiao Feng couldn't bear it any longer after all, and he leapt into the middle of the field, shouting loudly.

"Abbot Xuanci, I, Xiao Feng, have always respected you, but I never thought that you would speak nonsense in public today and slander my elder brother. What exactly is your intention?!"

Everyone fell silent and observed silently.

Xuan Ci looked at Xiao Feng, and couldn't help but think of the baby crying in his cradle with his mother's blood on his cheek.

Buddhism emphasizes the theory of cause and effect. The cause of everything did not start with Xiao Feng, but Xiao Feng was the witness and experiencer of the cause.

But then, how did he become the cause?

Xuan Ci's thoughts were in a mess, as if he had returned to decades ago.

He watched Xiao Feng and Hong Chen getting closer and closer, watched Xiao Feng pull Hong Chen to kneel down and become sworn brothers, watched Xiao Feng look at Hong Chen with eyes full of admiration.

He watched Hong Chen and Xiao Feng practice martial arts together, watched Hong Chen express his pity for Xiao Feng without responding, watched Hong Chen and Xiao Feng say that the worst that could happen is a rebellion!
Yes, that was that time.

No one could understand the inexplicable fear in Xuanci's heart.

Xiao Feng is the son of Xiao Yuanshan.

Xiao Yuanshan was the chief coach of the Shan Army of the Great Liao Dynasty and was a distant relative of the famous Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Dynasty.

Hong Chen is an orphan of the Song Dynasty and his origins are unknown.

Hong Chen's talent is rare in the world, and his intelligence and cleverness are even better than those of the monks in the temple.

So, although it was clearly a joke between two children, Xuan Ci felt that it was not impossible.

After all, at that time, even if Xuan Ci really took action, he might not be sure that he could defeat the sixteen-year-old Hong Chen.

Then he comforted himself that it was impossible.

But he never let his guard down.

Then, after year after year, repeated surveillance and investigation, Xuan Ci suddenly discovered that Hong Chen did not seem to be joking.

He just told the truth as a joke.

Otherwise, why did he let the Beggars' Sect investigate the world's martial arts sects and make maps, why did he amass a huge amount of wealth by using Zui Hongchen, and why did he travel around the world in the name of Zui Hongchen to look for local wealthy businessmen and families?
Isn't all this a preparation for rebellion?
Xuan Ci was horrified. Whether for Shaolin or for the world, he decided that he must take action.

It’s a pity that most of the fellow disciples in the temple were unwilling to believe it, and even comforted him instead, telling him not to think too much about it.

He still couldn't convince himself, and finally decided to do it himself!

This is the cause caused by Xiao Feng.

The speed at which thoughts turn is difficult to measure with time. In the eyes of others, Xuan Ci just closed his eyes slightly and immediately opened his mouth to respond.

"Amitabha, monks do not tell lies, so I naturally dare not speak nonsense. If any of the three reasons are inconsistent, please tell me."

Xiao Feng argued loudly: "It is true that my elder brother and I are as close as brothers. I, Xiao Feng, did say that I would not attack Liao or Song. But you are making assumptions based on this. That is self-righteous. My elder brother is a true hero. He has done everything for me, Xiao Feng. He will not give up because of me, and I will not force my ideas on him!

Secondly, when you say that Big Brother is ruthless, I dare to ask, have Shaolin monks never killed anyone? Besides, when Big Brother attacked, he had a reason and a basis. On the contrary, it was the people who besieged Big Brother in Xixia. At that time, Big Brother rushed into the army without caring about his life, killed Li Liangzuo, and withdrew 200,000 troops to relieve the siege of Xiaoguan. However, those people did not care about the righteousness of the country and family, but joined forces with the Xixia army to kill Big Brother. They are the ones who have no home and no country in their hearts, and they deserve to die! After those sects were wiped out, which one of them did not make public their numerous crimes, have you really forgotten?
Third, you said that Big Brother intended to overthrow the world. What evidence do you have? Isn't it just a case of accusing someone of something? "

After hearing what Xiao Feng said, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads, their blind obedience evident in their words.

But Xuan Ci was not panicked at all, and just said: "If you want evidence, I have a witness. Mahalatha, please come out!"

Immediately, the door of the main hall behind him opened, and a monk in a yellow robe and straw sandals walked out slowly. He came to stand beside Xuanci and said in a steady voice: "I am Jiumozhi, a poor monk, and I am honored to meet all the heroes of the Central Plains."

Everyone was talking about it and was confused.

Xuanci: "This is the Tibetan Dharma King Jiumozhi, and he is my witness."

Jiumozhi glanced at Hong Chen and saw that he was still drinking with his head tilted back, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

However, the arrow has been put on the string and has to be shot.

He stood still for a moment, and said with a smile: "I and Gang Leader Hong once met in Xixia. On that day..."

Jiumozhi told the story in a very vivid way, making everyone feel as if they were clearly witnessing everything that happened at that time.

More importantly, Jiumozhi did not mix in any personal agenda.

Therefore, when he finished speaking, everyone believed one thing: the evil dragon was really going to rebel!

First take advantage of the weak, then control the strong, and those that are neither strong nor weak will naturally be under your control.

Now that they have come up with a strategy, what else could this be but rebellion?
For a moment, even Xiao Feng was too shocked to refute, and countless eyes turned to Hong Chen. Behind Hong Chen, the women knew that what Hong Chen said was just a joke to fool Jiumozhi, but now that Jiumozhi said it in such a situation, they felt that they had no way to defend themselves and could not help but worry.

Hong Chen put down the green jade gourd and handed it to Wang Yuyan: "Hold it for me."

"Young Master!" Several people called softly, their eyes full of worry.

Hong Chen smiled: "Don't worry, it's okay."

Suddenly, everyone saw a flash before their eyes, and Hong Chen came from his seat to the side of Xiao Feng in the field. Such speed and agility really shocked many people.

Hong Chen patted Qiao Feng on the shoulder and pointed in the direction of the Shaolin back mountain: "Go save your father."

Xiao Feng was suddenly stunned.

"After the battle at Yanmen Pass, Xiao Yuanshan was still alive. He was hiding around Shaolin Temple. When he entered the temple, he disguised himself as a monk and his Buddhist name was Huishan. Go."

Xiao Feng's eyes were filled with tears. He nodded heavily and flew away immediately.

Hong Chen stood where he was, his eyes meeting Xuan Ci's.

He could not see any emotional fluctuations in Xuanci's eyes.

Xuan Ci was also unable to see through his eyes and see into his inner thoughts.

He turned around and glanced at the group of heroes.

"I believe you all have understood by now that in addition to defending the land and the people and electing the leader of the martial arts world, there is another extremely important matter at today's martial arts conference, and that is to attack me."

Wherever he looked, the heroes retreated.

Except for the monks from Buddhist sects.

“In fact, I personally don’t mind this. After all, many people have said that I kill people without blinking an eye and wipe out entire families at will. In order to satisfy you, I have wiped out Qingliang Temple, Penglai Sect, Juxian Manor and other underworld forces. This can be regarded as asking for what they want.

However, Abbot Xuanci has made such a scene today, and has labeled me as a rebel. If I don't do something, I will disappoint the abbot. Today I will teach you another word: There is a way to die.

Bring the people up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people suddenly squeezed out of the crowd. They were four sword-wielding women with similar looks, escorting a woman in red and a monk in gray.

"Isn't that Ye Erniang?"

"That little monk is...Xu Zhu?"

Whether they were visitors from the martial arts world or monks from Shaolin Temple, they were all talking about it.

Ye Erniang was hugging Xu Zhu and crying bitterly, while Xu Zhu looked confused.

On the high platform, although Xuan Ci was prepared to be exposed, he couldn't help but twitch his face when the time came.

Hong Chen: "Abbot Xuanci, how about you say something?"

Xuan Ci sighed and walked down the stairs.

Ye Erniang cried harder and harder, just staring at him and shaking her head.

The heroes opened their eyes wide, and they all had a premonition that they were about to get their hands on something big.

Xuan Ci reached out his hand to Ye Erniang, who suddenly shrank back and hugged Xu Zhu tighter.

Xuan Ci sighed softly, continued to move forward and grabbed Ye Erniang's wrist.

"Thank you for your hard work these years."

In an instant, the Shaoshi Mountain, where thousands of people gathered, was in an uproar.

The abbot of Shaolin Temple was actually involved with Ye Erniang, a wicked woman who specialized in killing babies!
This is a scandal enough to shock the world!
"Then... who is that little monk?" Someone discovered the blind spot.

Hong Chen smiled at this gentleman, and he immediately trembled with excitement.

Plum Sword suddenly struck out, and the cold blade immediately landed on Xu Zhu's neck, frightening the little monk so much that he shuddered.

However, the one who reacted more strongly was Ye Erniang.

She ignored the sword and grabbed it and threw it aside, then hugged Xu Zhu with her bloody palm and shouted, "Don't hurt my son!"

Suddenly, the noise quieted down.

After a few breaths, the noise became louder.

"He is Ye Erniang's son, so he must also be the abbot's..."

"Shh, this is Shaolin Temple, even if you guessed it, don't tell it out loud!"

"What are you afraid of! Now that everyone knows about it, can Shaolin still kill thousands of us?"

"Haha, the abbot of the world-famous Shaolin actually had an affair with someone and even had a child with him. I wonder how Shaolin will be able to survive in the martial arts world in the future!"

Xu Zhu was stunned and speechless. He looked at Ye Erniang and gradually started to cry.

Xuan Ci was also looking at Xu Zhu. Hong Chen guessed that he should be feeling even worse, not only because he had been living in the same place with his son for all these years, but also because his son looked nothing like him or Ye Erniang.

To be honest, if Xiao Yuanshan hadn't given his assurances again and again, Hong Chen would have suspected that he had made a mistake at the time.

The family of three recognized each other, and Hong Chen did not stop them.

This was the last kindness he showed to his senior brother Xuanci.

Not long after, Xiao Feng returned with Xiao Yuanshan.

Everyone looked at the two almost identical faces and couldn't help but hiccup.

There are too many melons. I’m almost dying of fullness.

As soon as Xiao Yuanshan saw Xuan Ci, he wanted to take action, but was stopped by Hong Chen's gaze. So, he turned to admire the family of three with a very cold smile.

moment.

Xuan Ci raised his head and said, "Junior Brother Xuan Chen, Ye Erniang and I have committed serious sins and deserve to die, but can you please let Xu Zhu go?"

Upon hearing this, Hong Chen raised his hand and pointed, and the Shangyang Sword pierced through Xu Zhu's head at unparalleled speed.

Everyone was stunned.

The corners of Ye Erniang's eyes were torn, with a mixture of blood and tears, and she rushed towards Hong Chen with a shrill roar.

Hong Chen beat her to death with a wave of his hand, and mother and son were reunited.

"I didn't want to kill him, because I thought that although you were plotting against me, you wouldn't harm other people, so if you wanted me to die, I only wanted you to die. But you insisted on saying that I was rebelling, and then it would not only harm me, so the consequences you have to bear would naturally become greater."

As soon as Hong Chen finished speaking, Mei Jian raised his sword and stabbed it towards Xuan Ci's heart.

Xuan Ci showed grief on his face, but he did not resist. He had done what he had to do, and had done it to the best of expectations, so at this moment he could close his eyes and wait for death peacefully.

However, just as the sword was about to pierce through it, a beam of light suddenly rushed over.

The long sword in Mei Jian's hand broke with a sound, and the powerful energy made her retreat repeatedly.

The broken sword blade hummed as it pierced the stone slab.

A dead leaf fluttered slowly.

All the heroes were horrified.

"Amitabha. Xuan Chen was originally a Buddhist monk, why did he come down from the mountain to mess with the secular world? Today is the day when his sins will end. Shaolin has its own rules and regulations to punish him. Why do you have to resort to private punishment and add to the sins of killing?"
