Grandpas who want to chat, please apply to join the group.
Unaware of the truth, Xiao Yuanshan was extremely annoyed. His enemy had always been by his side, and after he jumped off the cliff and survived, he hid in Shaolin Temple to secretly learn martial arts in order to improve his skills and take revenge. He failed to investigate in time, allowing the villains of the Murong family to live for so many more years.
Xiao Yuanshan angrily said to Qiao Feng:
"Son, we will avenge your mother today!"
As he spoke, he rushed towards Murong Bo, and Qiao Feng also struck Murong Fu directly with the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. Murong Bo quickly pulled his son away and used the Star Shift technique to return Qiao Feng's palm force.
Murong Bo did not expect that after his Dou Zhuan Xing Yi skill came into contact with Qiao Feng's palm force, an irresistible force came through!
Murong Bo realized that he couldn't redirect Qiao Feng's Dragon Subduing Palm force, so he quickly increased his power output. Instead of returning the palm force, he deflected it slightly and made it strike the high platform where everyone was standing.
"boom!"
Qiao Feng's attack, fueled by resentment, was extremely powerful, shattering most of the platform. Quan Guanqing, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, who was secretly trying to escape from the platform, was blasted away by the force of the palm strike.
The Duan family members stood behind Bai Ze, and Duan Zhengchun asked Bai Ze:
"Young Master Bai, would you like to ask your sworn brother for a favor?"
Bai Ze shook his head and said:
"Not for now. Let the Xiao family take their revenge themselves; we won't get involved."
Just as Bai Ze was speaking, a familiar voice rang in his mind~
"Ding~"
"Hello host, a timed mission is now being issued: Defeat the Sweeping Monk of the Shaolin Scripture Pavilion during the Shaolin Martial Arts Tournament. Limited to 2 days."
Quest Rewards: Random Adventurer Summon *1; Jianghu Reputation Points +; Jewelry Pocket Jar *5; Level +1;
"Uh~ We've got a job!"
After eliminating the "Four Evils," Bai Ze only gained a little over 60,000 reputation points in total. He would have to work hard to summon those characters with more than 65,000 reputation points.
Now that the system has delivered a pillow for someone who's sleepy, Bai Ze has to put in the effort.
The nature of the Shaolin Tournament changed after Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo appeared.
The Shaolin monks of the Xuan generation realized that Xuzhu was actually the child of Xuanci after he broke the precept against lust. They immediately summoned the Discipline Hall to enforce the temple rules.
After catching Xu Zhu, Xuan Ci fumbled around for a long time before finally releasing the pressure points that had been acupunctured. Looking at Xu Zhu's neck, which had been pinched red by Xiao Yuanshan, it was clear that Xiao Yuanshan had shown mercy by not killing Xu Zhu in the end.
Xuanci looked at the monks of the Discipline Hall who were gathering around him, then looked at Xuzhu, touched Xuzhu's face, and said:
“Child, don’t hold a grudge against anyone. It was a mistake for me to be with your mother. Your survival is perhaps a redemption for me. I should atone for the mistakes I made.”
After Xuan Ci finished speaking, he stood up and looked at the several senior brothers of the Xuan generation not far away, and said:
"I ask my fellow disciples to supervise my punishment. I am tempted by worldly fame, power, and lust. Anger, ignorance, and lust still plague me. Please, the Disciplinary Hall, administer the punishment according to the law!"
After speaking, Xuan Ci sat in the four-cornered pavilion in front of the Shaolin Temple gate. Just like in the original drama, Xuan Ci, the famous abbot of Shaolin Temple, received his vows and died in front of the Shaolin Temple gate.
Having learned the reason and his own identity, Xu Zhu was held aside by several monks from the monastic academy and watched as his biological father, whom he had just recognized, died on the spot.
The martial arts figures who had been invited by Shaolin finally understood the truth of the matter: the martial arts conference held by Shaolin was nothing more than a conspiracy and farce orchestrated by Abbot Xuanci to protect his own and Shaolin's reputation.
Many righteous martial arts practitioners were furious, scorning the Shaolin Temple's shamelessness and shouting that the Shaolin Temple was inhuman and shameless! They then turned around and left the scene.
After today, Shaolin Temple's reputation in the martial arts world is ruined. Many martial arts practitioners who were originally loyal to Shaolin shook their heads and left the scene with sighs.
After seeing Xiao Yuanshan and Qiao Feng chasing after the Murong family members away from the scene, many onlookers knew that they wouldn't be getting any more gossip.
Even though Shaolin Temple is now disgraced, if you try to sneak into the temple to watch the show or gossip, you'll inevitably get a beating from the Shaolin monks.
But for people like Bai Ze and Prince Duan, this was no big deal at all.
Bai Ze chased after Xiao and Murong, the father and his three sons, towards the depths of Shaolin Temple. Not far from the Sutra Repository, he saw the four members of the Xiao and Murong families fighting in pairs in a courtyard.
The Shaolin monks, along with their disciples from the Arhat Hall, arrived around the courtyard of the Sutra Repository where the two were fighting. Old Xiao and Old Murong were evenly matched in skill, differing only in their techniques, and the two fought to a standstill.
On the son's side, Murong Fu and Qiao Feng were somewhat different. Although the name "Qiao Feng in the North and Murong in the South" resounded throughout the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty, in terms of martial arts talent and personal skills, Murong was still a level below the great hero Qiao.
Moreover, during this time when Qiao Feng was at the Xiaoyao Sect, he also benefited greatly from the transmission of skills from Wu Yazi, Wu Xingyun, and later Li Qiushui, which improved his own martial arts skills.
In order to resist Xiao Feng's Dragon Subduing Palm, Murong Fu had been using his own Dou Zhuan Xing Yi technique with all his might. After dozens of exchanges, Murong Fu was obviously unable to hold on. Qiao Feng seized the opportunity and used his Dragon Capturing Skill to successfully disarm Murong Fu. He then used several more Dragon Subduing Palms to knock Murong Fu away.
Murong Fu flew out and crashed into the corridor on one side of the Sutra Pavilion. One of the pillars in the corridor was broken. Murong Fu fell to the ground and vomited blood. Murong Bo saw that his son was seriously injured. Distracted, he was struck on the shoulder by Xiao Yuanshan's Prajna Palm and was also sent flying!
Just as Xiao Yuanshan was about to catch up and kill Murong Bo on the spot, an old monk carrying a broom came out from the corridor in front of them. The old monk looked old and withered, but his spirit was very young.
He strolled leisurely to a spot not far from Murong Bo, and swept the broom in his hand a few times towards Xiao Yuanshan who was rushing towards him. The force seemed to be sweeping away fallen leaves, but Xiao Yuanshan only felt an irresistible, gentle force pushing him backward, unable to go any further towards Murong Bo.
Bai Ze looked at the suddenly appearing Sweeper Monk, glanced at Qiao Feng's level 51, and then at the Sweeper Monk's level 53, leaving Bai Ze speechless. Good heavens, no wonder he is the final boss of Tianlong, his level is indeed exaggerated.
Even with guidance from Wu Yazi, Wu Xingyun, and Li Qiushui, Qiao Feng only leveled up to level 51, while this nameless old monk was level 53!
Bai Ze knew it was time for him to make a move. He drew the Wrath of the Mad Dragon, stepped forward, and said to Xiao Yuanshan:
"Uncle, please rest for a moment. Let me meet this eminent monk!"
Xiao Yuanshan also realized that he was completely unable to defend against or neutralize the old monk's attack. Now, if he wanted to kill Murong Bo, he had to deal with the old monk blocking his way first.
After the battle, he had used up most of his internal energy. He decided to send his sworn brother, his son, to test the waters of the old monk. Even if one of them couldn't defeat him, he believed that with his son Qiao Feng and himself, they could take down the old monk!
Then Xiao Yuanshan looked at Bai Ze and nodded, saying:
"Be careful, young man."
While the group was talking, the old monk didn't come over to say anything. He simply walked to the front of the main building in front of the Sutra Repository and began sweeping up fallen leaves.
Seeing that Xiao Yuanshan had stopped killing Murong Bo, he then recited a Buddhist chant and said:
"Amitabha~
Why are you all fighting and killing each other in this peaceful place of Shaolin?
Elder Xiao, you have visited the temple's scripture pavilion several times to look at the scriptures, but you have only read some martial arts manuals such as the Prajna Palm, the Kasaya Subduing Demon Skill, and the Maha Finger.
At that time, you, Elder Xiao, had unknowingly fallen into demonic possession. I placed a copy of the Lotus Sutra and a copy of the Miscellaneous Agamas where you usually took books, hoping that you could borrow them to study and comprehend them. However, you were so engrossed in martial arts classics that you could not extricate yourself and had no intention of comprehending the Dharma.
As for this Elder Murong, you are of Xianbei ethnicity and have lived in Jiangnan for generations. I originally thought you had already adopted the cultural habits of the Southern Dynasties.
Unexpectedly, when you came to this library, you discarded all the profound teachings of my Shaolin patriarch and the sayings and insights of eminent monks throughout history. You came to the library several times to read books, but you only picked out the Flower-Picking Finger Technique, Prajna Palm Power, and Formless Finger Technique and left happily.
Both elderly lay Buddhists were preoccupied with finding martial arts manuals driven by desires, forgetting to use Buddhist teachings to soothe their physical discomfort. Elderly lay Buddhist Xiao, have you recently been experiencing a dull ache in your lower abdomen at the Liangmen and Taiyi acupoints?
"Elder Murong, are the three daily sharp pains at Yangbai, Lianquan, and Fengfu acupoints causing you unbearable suffering?"
Both Xiao and Murong listened to the sweeping monk's words. Both sons hurriedly asked their fathers if they had the pain the old monk had mentioned. Murong Bo, holding his arm that had been injured by Xiao Yuanshan, nodded to his son.
Qiao Feng wasn't too worried about his father's internal injuries. He knew his good brother Bai Ze had some miraculous medicine, and he planned to have his brother treat his father after avenging his family.
The sweeping monk, observing both sides, continued:
"If the two elderly benefactors wish to heal their internal injuries, they need to seek solace in Buddhism..."
At this moment, Bai Ze interrupted the Sweeper Monk and said:
"Oh, old monk, there are plenty of ways to heal injuries. I can treat Uncle Xiao's injuries myself, so there's no need to trouble you."
The sweeping monk looked at Bai Ze, who had interrupted him, for a long while, and then said:
“Amitabha, this young benefactor is full of blood and killing intent, making him appear like a god or a demon. Yet, judging from your calm and self-assured demeanor, it seems that you have reached the level of an Arhat in Buddhism and possess the abilities of an Asura in hell. May I ask what you wish to ask of this old monk?”
Bai Ze, carrying his sword, chuckled:
"I now have a master and mistress, many confidantes by my side, and a sworn brother like Master Qiao outside. I live a carefree life in the martial world, indulging in the beauty of nature. I have no other desires but to exchange a few moves with the master and see what the ultimate martial world of the Song Dynasty is like."
The sweeping monk chanted a Buddhist prayer and continued:
"Amitabha, young benefactor, if this old monk is superior to you, I wonder if you would be willing to join my Buddhist sect along with the two old benefactors? At that time, I will personally cure the hidden ailments of the two old benefactors and let my Buddhist magic wash away the murderous aura from you, so that you may become my Buddhist protector and guardian."
Bai Ze was speechless at the Sweeper Monk's greed. As expected of the successor of the Two Saints, he played the "destined to be associated with my sect" trick to the fullest!
Bai Ze glanced at Qiao Feng. Qiao Feng knew how powerful his brother was. Ever since Bai Ze had fully mastered his uncle Wu Xingyun's "Eight Desolations and Six Directions, I Alone Am Supreme" technique, he had also learned his master's wife's "White Rainbow Palm Force" and Yu Yan's special White Rainbow Palm Force attack method.
Now, Qiao Feng is no match for his own brothers and can only use his profound internal energy to exchange a few more blows with them.
Qiao Feng didn't speak, but simply nodded to Bai Ze, indicating his full support for Bai Ze's decision and telling him to go ahead and do it. Bai Ze smiled and shook his head, saying:
"Then let me experience your skills, Master. If you defeat me, I will no longer interfere in the affairs between the Xiao and Murong families. But as for your role as a protector of Buddhism... well, forget it. I'm afraid my group of beauties will tear me to pieces if they find out!"
"Master, watch out, I'm coming!"
Bai Ze launched an attack on the Sweeper Monk. During the charge, he activated Berserk and placed a Kazan Blade Soul that boosted his power at his feet. The Sweeper Monk clasped his hands together, chanting Buddhist mantras, and an invisible aura and true energy appeared around him.
