Chapter 271 Negotiations
Hong Tianxiao also came to the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple full of thoughts, and saw that there were huge crowds of people under the entire mountain gate of Shaolin Temple, at least thousands of people. Magnificent, can not help but startled.

Abbot Huicong was leading a group of eminent monks from Shaolin Temple to stand in front of the mountain gate, looking at the dark crowd in front of him, all of them were frowning.Such an occasion has never happened for hundreds of years since Abbot Xuanci, so the pampered Shaolin monks didn't know how to deal with it.

As Hong Tianxiao walked all the way, all the monks gave way for him, which made the crowd below very strange. They didn't know who this sallow-faced monk was, but even the eminent monks of the Cheng generation respected him very much.

"Brother Abbot, why did these martial arts fellows come to Shaolin Temple?" After Hong Tianxiao stood still, he began to ask knowingly.

"Alas," the abbot Huicong sighed with a sad face, "I don't know something, these martial arts fellows don't know how to find out that there is a "42 Chapters" in this temple, and they insist on handing over that scripture. This scripture involves the secret of a treasure."

""42 Chapters"?" Hong Tianxiao pretended to be surprised when he heard the words, "Brother, I have heard of this scripture when I was in the palace, and I have seen it more than once, and this scripture is not one, but eight of them. There are too many treasures, and the treasure can only be found if they are collected together, and it is of no use to find only one book."

"This..." Abbot Huicong was obviously hearing about this for the first time, and he wanted to ask Hong Tianxiao to explain it to the heroes, but in this way, let alone whether the heroes would believe it, Hong Tianxiao's identity as the head of the imperial guards would definitely be exposed. It is even more inseparable from the relationship with the Qing court, and even if the heroes believe that there are as many as eight copies of the "42 Chapters", they will never let this one go.

"Huh", Hong Tianxiao scanned around, and found that Chen Jinnan, the chief rudder of the Tiandihui, was also among them, and blurted out, "I didn't expect the chief rudder of the Tiandihui to come too."

"Yes." Abbot Huicong said with a mournful face, "It's not just Chen Jinnan from the Tiandihui, Feng Nandi from the Huashan School, Mu Tianbo from the Mu Palace, Situ Bolei from the Wangwushan School, and Bayan from the Tibetan Esoteric School." Master □□, leader of the beggar gang, Tiezhang Fantian, Xie Yunhai, and others have all come."

"Oh", Hong Tianxiao was excited when he heard the words. Since he debuted in the arena, it was the first time he met so many heroes from the arena. He turned his head and said to Abbot Hui Cong, "Brother, do you mean that you are willing to hand over the scriptures to quell the conflict? Use Shaolin Temple's own strength to fight against these martial arts heroes?"

Hearing this, Abbot Huicong almost burst into tears and said: "Junior brother, you don't know that if there is such a scripture in this monastery, it would have been handed over a long time ago. We are monks, and all four things are empty. What we eat and what we use , are all obtained from donations from all parties, so what is the use of those gold, silver and jewels?"

Hong Tianxiao thought to himself, it seems that the Eighteen Arhats did not tell me about the scriptures handed over to me by the old Emperor Shunzhi, he nodded and said: "Although what my brother said is true, it is true, but although there is no such scriptures in this temple, it is The heroes will never believe it, how should this matter be settled?" Actually, Chengxin naturally told Hui Cong about the scripture, but Hui Cong didn't understand the importance of that scripture, so he didn't pay much attention to it.However, it doesn't matter if it is taken seriously, after all, the scriptures have already entered the hands of the emperor, and it is impossible to return them to Feng Nandi and the others.

This is the most troublesome problem for Abbot Huicong. Hearing the words, he sighed again: "Senior brother, I am also having a headache because of this. If it doesn't work, we can only meet them with martial arts. I only hate that person who spread rumors." , What kind of deep hatred and great hatred do you have with this temple to be framed like this?"

Hong Tianxiao secretly thought that all the gangs who came here today are anti-Qing gangs, and that treasure will be of great use to their uprising, so they will go to Shaolin Temple to ask for this scripture at the risk of being gathered and wiped out by the Qing court, hehe, but they don’t Knowing that the eight "42 Chapters" have already been obtained by myself, four, five-eighths of the map.The news that there is a copy of "42 Chapters" in Shaolin Temple must have been spread by Master Bayan and Elder Xinxi who failed to return from Qingliang Temple last time, but it is a pity that he did not know that the book had fallen into Xiaolin Temple. In the hands of the emperor, Fang Yi took out the shredded sheepskin map in the scriptures. Even if they turned Shaolin Temple upside down, they could only find nothing.

At this time, the restless heroes suddenly quieted down, Hong Tianxiao looked down again, and saw six people walking hand in hand towards the gate of Shaolin Temple.Among the six people, Hong Tianxiao only recognized four people, namely Chen Jinnan, Mu Tianbo, Situ Bolei and Master Bayan, and two people Hong Tianxiao had never met before.

One of these two people is a burly old man with fluttering white beard and piercing eyes. The other is also an old man. His beards are black and white, his clothes are full of patches, and there are nine pockets hanging on his back. Presumably this person is Xie Yunhai, the leader of the Beggar Clan, but the person just now was the leader of the Huashan Sect, Feng Nandi.

The six of them arrived in front of the monks in a short time, Feng Nandi clasped his fists to Abbot Hui Cong and said: "Abbot Hui Cong, Huashan Feng Nandi is very polite."

Hong Tianxiao thought to himself, Feng Nandi has become the head of the Huashan School. It seems that Mu Renqing and Tie Suan Huang Zhen have both passed away. He once pretended to be Yuan Chengzhi's cousin in front of the Ninth Princess. , this old man in his 60s wants to call himself senior, thinking of this, Hong Tianxiao can't help but feel funny.

Abbot Huicong clasped his hands together, and said back: "Master Feng, I'm being polite, I invite everyone to come in and talk." Abbot Huicong knew that these six people were representatives of thousands of people down the mountain, as long as they could be persuaded , I think this catastrophe in Shaolin Temple can be passed safely.

In fact, although Abbot Huicong had a good idea, he overlooked one point. These six gangs are anti-Qing gangs. What they need most urgently is money and food, and the treasure in "42 Chapters" was originally Han people. After they got the wealth, they just used it to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, this negotiation will inevitably result in a breakdown.

After the six people were seated, they found that there were also six people in Shaolin Temple, besides Abbot Huicong, there were five people from Hong Tianxiao, Cheng Xin, Cheng Tong, Cheng Shi, and Cheng Guan.

Except for Master Bayan, the six people are all well-informed people in Jianghu, so it is not surprising to see the negotiating team of Shaolin Temple.Hui Cong is the abbot of Shaolin Temple, so let’s not talk about it. Cheng Xin is the first seat of Dharma Hall in Shaolin Temple, Cheng Tong is the head seat of Arhat Hall in Shaolin Temple, Cheng Shi is the head seat of Discipline Academy in Shaolin Temple, and Cheng Guan is the head seat of Prajna Hall in Shaolin Temple. In the Shaolin Temple, these four heads are respected, but none of Feng Nandi and others knew Hong Tianxiao.Abbot Hui Cong and other five people are all old monks over 80 years old, the oldest Cheng Guan is already over [-] years old, but Hong Tianxiao looks only about [-], everyone can't help but feel strange, but it's hard to say anything Asked, only bored in the stomach.

Fortunately, Abbot Huicong introduced the six people first, which was fine, but after the introduction, the six of them were taken aback. They did not expect that this 30-year-old monk with a sallow complexion turned out to be Abbot Huicong’s younger brother. Except Master Yan, the other five people all looked at each other in blank dismay, as if they were asking the other four people, when did Shaolin Temple have an eminent monk of the obscure generation, and he was still so young.

"Cough cough", since they couldn't figure it out, the five of them stopped thinking about it, so Feng Nandi coughed twice and started the content of this negotiation: "Abbot Hui Cong, please forgive me for being presumptuous, but the "42 Zhang Jing is very important, and Shaolin Temple has closed the mountain for many years to ignore world affairs, so it is useless to ask for the "42 Chapters", please give the scriptures to the younger generation, etc., I will be very grateful." Abbot Hui Cong and Iron Abacus Huang Zhen has a little friendship and has been with him many times, so it is difficult for Feng to treat Abbot Huicong as a junior.

Abbot Hui Cong said: "Master Feng has misunderstood it. It is true that the temple is closed and does not care about world affairs. It is also true that the "42 Chapters" are useless to this temple. It is just that there is no such thing as what Master Feng said. The "Forty-two Chapters", otherwise, it would be all right to give it to Sect Master Feng."

After Feng Nandi looked back at the five people, he said to Abbot Huicong: "There may be some things that Master Abbot may not know about. This scripture is in the hands of a monk in your monastery. As long as the abbot can hand over that monk , this matter has nothing to do with Shaolin Temple."

When Abbot Huicong heard this, the muscles on his face couldn't help moving, and he secretly yelled that he was not good.Hong Tianxiao also understood that the monk Feng Nandi mentioned must be an idiot. It seems that this matter is no longer a secret. Feng Nandi and others clearly wanted the "42 Chapters", but in fact they came here for the idiot.

Over the years, there have been constant voices and actions against the Qing in various places. Among the major martial arts factions, the Huashan faction and the Beggars’ Gang have put all their efforts into it. Sending out disciples to join Tiandihui, Muwangfu and other anti-Qing organizations, only Shaolin Temple stayed out of the matter, already despised by martial arts, this time Hui Cong categorically denied this, everyone was secretly angry, but it was not easy to explode.
