Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 519 Show mercy
Xiao Feng has been managing the Northern Beggars' Sect for many years and is well versed in the various methods used by all kinds of people in the martial arts world. He can tell at a glance whether a person is lying out of guilt.

Therefore, asking in person is indeed the best way to confirm information.

On this side, Xiao Feng was speechless, but Wang Yuyan continued to talk.

"I never thought that the dignified Shaolin would be such a filthy place!"

Because Murong Fu died because of Shaolin martial arts, Wang Yuyan hated the whole family and naturally did not have much good feelings towards Shaolin.

When Xiao Feng heard this, he suddenly felt anxious and angry.

He was taught martial arts by Xuan Ku since he was a child and grew up at the foot of Mount Shaoshi. He was naturally full of awe for the Shaolin sect, but he never thought that this "holy place" would now be labeled as a "harbor of filth and dirt".

But for a moment, he couldn't refute Wang Yuyan's statement.

What's more, the other party is a girl, so it's not easy for me to argue with her too much, so I have to keep the anger in my heart.

Wang Yuyan did not notice Xiao Feng's expression at all, and continued to insist, "Brother Lu, why don't we just spread the news?"

"In this way, the hypocritical abbot and Shaolin will surely be brought to ruin!"

Xiao Feng had originally planned not to speak, but after hearing this, he could no longer hold back. In great horror, he hurriedly shouted, "Absolutely not!"

Wang Yuyan asked back: "Why not?"

"Not to mention that this matter has not been confirmed by Abbot Xuanci, even if it is true..."

In a split second, Xiao Feng felt that his thoughts were clearer than ever before. It seemed that before his brain could react, he had already analyzed all the pros and cons.

"You have come to the mountain to provoke us without even sending us a challenge. This is already very disrespectful to Shaolin. If you tell others about this, wouldn't that be a huge offense to Shaolin?"

"You must know that Shaolin has many disciples. There are hundreds of registered disciples in the temple alone, thousands of unregistered disciples, and more than ten thousand lay disciples scattered all over the world!"

"If these people knew what you did, even if they didn't say anything on the surface, they would definitely not let you off easily behind your back."

"Mr. Lu is a martial arts expert, so he may not be afraid, but you, Ms. Wang, will be in big trouble!"

Xiao Feng's guess is very likely.

Shaolin's status and reputation are both top-notch in the martial arts world. If anyone in the martial arts world can learn Shaolin martial arts or be accepted as a disciple by a Shaolin monk, it is definitely a very honorable thing.

But if someone brings disgrace to Shaolin, this dignity will naturally be lost.

By then, these people will definitely be criticized by others for this, and they may even lose their jobs or even have their families broken up...

Think about it, a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple just found a job as an escort, but he was fired the next day, and the reason given by the escort agency was "Your Shaolin Temple has a bad reputation, we don't want you".
Or you just announced your marriage to your fiancée, but the engagement was cancelled the next day, with the reason given by your father-in-law being "You Shaolin disciples are not pure, we don't want them";
and so on...

In this case, how can we avoid offending others?

Of course, Xiao Feng didn’t think so far at the moment. He just wanted to maintain the reputation of Shaolin.

Fortunately, Ah Zhu was quick-witted. Not only did she guess her lover's thoughts at the first moment, she also took this into consideration and immediately explained the pros and cons to Wang Yuyan.

"Miss cousin, what Brother Xiao said is right! Listen to me..."

"...Besides, whether Shaolin is good or bad, what does it have to do with us? Why do you want to cause trouble for yourself?"

Xiao Feng, standing aside, nodded secretly, thinking: Ah Zhu is indeed my soulmate, these words really touch my heart.

If Lu Ping and Wang Yuyan were not there, Xiao Feng would have wanted to immediately step forward and give Ah Zhu a big hug to express his gratitude.

Wang Yuyan heard that Ah Zhu's words made sense, so she stopped insisting and turned to look at Lu Ping: "Brother Lu, what do you think?"

"Me? I have no idea."

Lu Ping blinked his eyes with an innocent look on his face, as if he was not the one who started this.

"What does Shaolin's reputation have to do with me?"

"I'm not afraid of causing trouble. Anyway, the abbot, elders, dean, registered disciples, unregistered disciples, formal disciples, lay disciples...even if all of them are added together, they are not enough for me to fight alone."

"But I have always believed that every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. If one person makes a mistake, he or she should take the responsibility."

"In this matter, the one who made the mistake was Xuan Ci. Even if he is guilty, it is only him who is guilty. There is no need to implicate other Shaolin disciples."

When Lu Ping said this, he had made his attitude clear, and Xiao Feng finally felt relieved after hearing it.

"Don't worry, I will go to Abbot Xuanci to ask him about this. If it is proven to be true, Xiao Feng will definitely not turn a blind eye!"

Lu Ping nodded without saying anything.

He naturally trusted Xiao Feng's character. Since the other party said so, he would definitely do what he said.

What puzzled Lu Ping was that since the Yanmen Pass tragedy thirty years ago had disappeared in this world, Xiao Yuanshan had no reason to take away Xuanci and Ye Erniang's child. So how did the situation between them evolve to the present?

Perhaps only when Xiao Feng finds out the truth can we get the full picture.

While they were thinking, the four of them had already arrived outside the temple.

The monk in charge of reception did not recognize Lu Ping, but recognized Xiao Feng, and came to greet him from afar.

Xiao Feng immediately stated that he had an important matter to discuss with the abbot. Considering his previous status in the martial arts world, the monk in charge of reception immediately went in to inform him. After a short while, he came out and brought the few people in.

The four followed the monk into the temple, passed several palaces, turned a few corners and came to a room, where they met Xuanci.

Xiao Feng then asked Xuan Ci to dismiss the attendants on the pretext that he had something important to discuss. Only when there were only five people left in the room did Xuan Ci speak.

"Xiao Feng, your identity as a descendant of an alien race has been exposed. As the abbot of Shaolin, I shouldn't meet you in private."

"It is only because of the bond you have formed with Shaolin since childhood, your contributions to the martial arts world over the years, and your loyalty and courage that I am willing to meet you. But this is only this once."

"You said you had something important to ask me, what is it?"

Xiao Feng clasped his fists and spoke frankly, asking in a clear voice: "May I ask, Master Abbot, do you know Ye Erniang, who has been doing evil in Dali for many years and is known as 'a man who does all kinds of evil'?"

When he heard Ye Erniang's name, Xuan Ci's expression froze for a moment, then he quickly recovered.

The changes happened very quickly, but Xiao Feng was watching Xuan Ci intently the whole time, so of course he would not miss anything. Moreover, at that moment, Xuan Ci's heartbeat suddenly quickened a bit, which also did not escape Xiao Feng's hearing.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng's heart sank suddenly, and he began to believe Lu Ping's words halfway.

Xuan Ci recovered and asked again: "Ye Erniang... I know this person. You came to me to talk about this matter. Could it be that she has become Dali and came to Song Dynasty to do evil?"

At this time, Lu Ping, who had been standing quietly beside him, suddenly interrupted and said, "On the contrary, she has been executed. She died in my hands."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xuanci's heartbeat and expression could no longer be restrained. His calm state of mind, which had remained calm for decades after he started to suffer turbulent waves.

"Then... you are looking for me..."

"Ye Erniang kidnapped countless babies during her lifetime. It was not until she died that she finally told the reason why she did so, and she also confessed the lover who made her have a child before marriage."

"Who do you think this person could be, Abbot?"

After hearing this, if Xuan Ci still doesn't understand the purpose of their visit, then he would be unworthy of being the abbot of Shaolin.

"Ah... this day has finally come."

Xuan Ci sighed heavily, clasped his hands together, and said with a sad face: "Since you have come to me on purpose, if I continue to pretend that I don't know, I will be ashamed of my Buddha."

"Yes, that person is me!"

"Abbot, you...ah..."

Although he was prepared, Xiao Feng was still shocked to hear Xuan Ci admit it himself, and he didn't know what to say.

"Xiao Feng, and Mr. Lu, thank you for coming to me privately instead of making this matter public. Otherwise, Shaolin's reputation of hundreds of years will be in jeopardy."

Xuan Ci burst into tears as he spoke, "I will shoulder the sins that Er Niang committed during her lifetime, but I cannot let the entire Shaolin Temple be implicated because of me."

"As long as you are willing to let Shaolin go, I am willing to accept any punishment."

After saying this, Xuan Ci took a step back and actually knelt down in front of the few people.

Xiao Feng was afraid that he would sever his own meridians on the spot, which would cause him to be branded as a murderer, so he quickly stepped forward to support him: "Abbot, you can't do this..."

"Yeah, you're not ashamed of us, why are you worshipping us?"

Wang Yuyan made a sarcastic remark and stepped aside.

You are still young, how can it look like to have an old man kneel down to you?
"Mr. Lu, you are the one who brought this news. How do you think this matter should be resolved?"

After helping Xuan Ci up, Xiao Feng chose to pass the buck and pushed the matter to Lu Ping to handle.

Lu Ping had already made up his mind and expressed his thoughts: "Gather the abbots of all the temples, explain clearly to everyone, admit the crime, accept the punishment, resign from the abbot position, and leave Shaolin."

"Then go to Dali and spend the rest of your life apologizing to the families whose babies were taken away from them."

After hearing this, Xuan Ci burst into tears again.

"I understand. Thank you, Master Lu, for showing mercy."
