Ye Erniang was almost killed by Gu Chaoci that day in Xingzi Forest. Unexpectedly, a man in black appeared and used Shaolin martial arts to save her. She was frightened by Gu Chaoci's words and asked her to return the child she had abandoned before.
Parents' house.
In view of all these circumstances, Ye Erniang naturally did not dare to neglect, and had been working non-stop for several months. However, the situation of her beloved child being snatched away could not be left in her mind.
That day, she heard the news that "Mantuo Villa" had martial arts secrets, and also heard that Shaolin Abbot Xuanci personally led a team to the south of the Yangtze River. She was upset, resentful and entangled, and followed a large group of martial arts people there.
At Mantuo Villa, I watched my lover silently among the crowd, feeling a little distracted for a moment.
At this time, he saw that Gu Chaoci had an obvious intention, and his target was directly at his lover Xuanci. After thinking about it for a moment, Gu Chaoci might know where his son was. His desire to find his son and to protect his lover could no longer be suppressed.
, and jumped out.
The heroes saw Ye Erniang acting like crazy, and there was a commotion. They first heard Gu Chaoci say that the woman had been seduced by a person with great authority in the martial arts world, and they thought it was Mrs. Wang.
At this moment, Ye Erniang ran out and asked Gu Chaoci for her son. She immediately understood that the woman he was talking about was actually Ye Erniang, who was "committed to all evil".
She was also seen yelling at the Shaolin monks to let them go. She wanted to find her son with Gu Chaoci. All the Shaolin monks with fluttering white beards and prestigious reputations were extremely embarrassed when faced with such a thing.
The heroes were also wondering who this person with great status and prestige could be called the number one in the martial arts world. After thinking about it, except for the abbot of Shaolin Temple, which is the "authentic martial arts school in the world", there seemed to be no other person worthy of this honor.
For a moment, almost everyone's eyes were fixed on Xuanci's face. The Shaolin monks were very angry. As long as the abbot gave the order, they would fight to the death with Gu Chaoci.
Gu Chaoci also looked at Xuanci, their eyes exchanged, but Xuanci's face was calm. Gu Chaoci couldn't help but feel a sinking heart, and thought to himself: "This guy has such a strong determination, could he be planning to deny it?
"
But he also looked calm and said with a smile: "Abbot Xuanci, tell me, I feel sorry for Ye Erniang, a miserable woman who lost her son and husband, and those who have been trapped by her in the past twenty years.
Should children and parents seek justice?"
"enough!"
Ye Erniang shouted sharply, turned around suddenly, and said with a long laugh: "Master Gu, you are quite famous in the world. Even if you want to eliminate violence and bring peace to the people, why bother to expose some of the past events of a female like me to the heroes of the world?"
If you say it in front of me, don't you think it will insult your name?"
She knew very well that Gu Chaoci was targeting Xuanci. By saying this, she wanted Xuanci not to admit it and to take people away as soon as possible. Even if she made Gu Chaoci angry and died on the spot, she would have no regrets!
As for the son... there is nothing we can do. We need to protect his father first.
Everyone turned around and saw that Ye Erniang's face was gray, her lips were white, her eyes were dull, she looked like a living ghost.
But according to what she meant, Gu Chaoci deliberately exposed this incident of sesame seeds and rotten millet in order to deal with her.
Gu Chaoci understood in his heart that Ye Erniang had been protecting Xuanci wholeheartedly until now. He sighed secretly: "Love is a thing that is really difficult to understand!"
But there was a stern look on his face, "Don't stop talking!"
He raised his hands and said, "If I, Gu Chaoci, want to deal with you, I can handle ten of you with just these fleshy palms!"
Everyone nodded in unison. Indeed, how could Ye Erniang be worth Gu Chao's words?
Ye Erniang's eyes were sharp, as if there were a few cold stars in her eyes, and she said coldly: "How did I, Ye Erniang, offend you? You have to be so cruel! If you and I kill me, just do it quickly. Why bother mother-in-law and mother-in-law?"
What does it mean to uncover old stories?"
Gu Chaoci laughed and said: "You are really ignorant, I just feel sorry for your experience.
That big shot had a high position and power, so he was ambitious and forbearing. Of course, he didn't take these old things to heart. If not, he wouldn't have regretted his luck and abandoned his beloved woman to enjoy everything in peace."
Even though Ye Erniang wanted to protect Xuanci wholeheartedly, she couldn't help but feel numb for a while after hearing these words. Two tears fell down her cheeks and sunk deeply into her scar.
After a while, she shook her head and said: "It's not his fault, it's all my fault!
At that time, my father was seriously ill. He was kind-hearted and came to treat me, saving my father's life.
I was both grateful and admired for him. The poor girl had nothing to offer him in return, so I pledged myself to him.
It was all because I was young, ignorant, and ignorant, and took the initiative to seduce him. He was very good to me, and he did not regret it! It was me who did not want to implicate him. He... he is a very good person.
people."
Until this moment, Ye Erniang's words were still full of warmth and longing for the lover who had abandoned her.
Obviously, the kindness of the past has not diminished at all because of his own suffering and the passage of time.
Everyone thought: "Ye Erniang has a bad reputation, but she is really deeply affectionate towards her former lover. I just don't know who this man is?" They couldn't help but start talking.
When Gu Chaoci saw this scene, he frowned slightly and thought: "That's all, there is no grudge between you and me. Seeing that my Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms Xu Zhu has great merit, as long as Xuanci Shiqu retreats,
Why should I be too aggressive!"
Gu Chaoci was arrogant, but he never ridiculed the true feelings of the world. At this time, he did not want to tell everything directly. He turned to look at Abbot Xuanci, sighed and held his hands together: "Abbot Xuanci, Gu today
I'm so moved by her true feelings that I really don't want to talk about it anymore. I wonder if I can..."
He thought so, but others didn't know it. Before he finished speaking, Ye Erniang's heart was stirred, she ran a few steps closer, knelt down on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Gu, please be kind, show your noble hand, and let me go."
he.
He...he...he has such a great reputation and status in the martial arts world...and he is so old. If you want to beat or kill me, please come at me, but don't...don't embarrass him.
."
Gu Chaoci had already turned sideways to avoid her when she knelt down.
Master Xuannan was already trembling with anger, and said sharply with his halberd finger: "Gu Chaoci, why do you ask my abbot brother? You talked nonsense and ruined my reputation in Shaolin. You are really worthy of death! All heroes,
If Gu Chaoci is allowed to leave here alive today, it will be a great disaster for the world!"
When he said this, he waved his right hand, and the heroes shouted in unison, and took out their weapons. The entire high platform was surrounded by dense cold light, and there were countless kinds of long knives, short swords, spears, axes, whips and forks.
Everyone has a feeling that the person Gu Chaoci talks about as being unlucky is like a certain eminent monk in Shaolin. Can Xuan Nanan tolerate it?
As soon as the weapons of the heroes came out, there was an endless sound of "ping pong and banging" on the high platform. The Shaolin monks of the Hui generation also sent over the weapons of their masters and uncles.
Except for Xuanci, the other Shaolin monks from the two generations of Xuanhui each held weapons and chanted sutras in unison: "My Buddha is merciful, my Buddha is merciful!"
The voice was very sad and angry. Although no one challenged Gu Chaoci for a while, the deep sorrow contained in the chanting of the Buddha by the monks obviously contained great determination, and they would never let go of him.
Seeing the posture of the two parties, Gu Chaoci felt a little nervous. He thought that if a fight broke out, he would have to take Mrs. Wang and Wang Yuyan to retreat first, and the others would just leave it to fate!
There was no fear on his face, and he said casually: "Master Xuannan doesn't need to show off his authority in front of me! If there is any method, Gu will take it upon himself.
But am I talking nonsense, some people know it very well, and if I am so deceptive, aren’t I afraid of going to Abi Hell?”
Ye Erniang felt empty in her heart. The feeling was very strange, neither frightened nor angry, but more like an indescribable panic and desire.
She turned to look at Xuanci, hoping that he would deny it and directly unite everyone to kill Gu Chaoci.
But Xuanci was uncharacteristically different, clasping his hands together and saying, "How good! How good!"
He chanted a Buddhist message, took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to help Ye Erniang up from the ground, and said warmly: "Er Niang, I have suffered a lot over the years!"
The face of the Shaolin Abbot, which had always been majestic, was filled with the tenderness of a man facing his beloved woman. This was something no one had ever seen before.
In an instant, the surroundings were suddenly as silent as death. Even if there were thousands of thunders, hurricanes and tsunamis, they seemed not as scary as these few words from Master Xuanci.
The Shaolin monks felt as if they were struck by lightning and subconsciously took two steps back, as if in this way they could avoid the power of Abbot Xuanci's two words.
The expressions of surprise, horror, contempt, anger, fear, and pity on each person's face are so diverse that it is really difficult to describe.
Abbot Xuanci is highly respected and admired by everyone in the martial arts world. Who would have thought that he would do such a thing?
Ye Erniang had already burst into tears and cried: "I'm not suffering! If you can't express your suffering, that's the real suffering. But you... you don't have to say it, this... how can this be?"
good?"
Xuanci grabbed Ye Erniang's wrist with one hand and gently stroked her hair with the other. He shook his head and said: "Er Niang, I have violated the Buddhist precepts. It is useless to regret it, and it is useless to conceal it.
For the past twenty years or so, I have been thinking about you day and night, and I don’t know whether our son, who was kidnapped by strong beams, is alive or dead. But I don’t have the courage to confess to the monks, but today I can be freed in one fell swoop in front of the world.
, is also a blessing in life.”
He has been hiding his secrets for many years. He knows that his son is missing and women do evil, so he can only endure it.
Now that he confessed everything, he suddenly felt relieved, and the long-repressed emotions were about to burst out. He looked at Ye Erniang's eyes with indescribable tenderness and joy. As he spoke, he reached out his hand to touch the scars on her face.
Ye Erniang was confused, nodded, and then shook her head.
There was a dead silence in the crowd, and everyone's eyes were on everyone, whether male or female, monks or laymen, host or guest, or enemies. Thousands of eyes were firmly attracted by the two people. They all held their breath and thought: "One is a highly respected Buddhist monk, and the other is a notorious one."
He is an evil person in the world, but he never expected that he would have such a relationship."
Gu Chaoci couldn't help but think to himself: "Don't blame me for being mean. With today's situation, you and I have different positions. I also have people I need to protect with my life, so I have to take this step!"
The Shaolin monks clasped their hands together and sighed: "That's good, that's good."
When Ye Erniang heard the Buddha's name, she woke up like a dream. The whereabouts of her son was a lifelong regret for her. How Gu Chaoci knew these secrets is even more of a mystery.
Thinking of this, she slowly turned around and stared at Gu Chaoci, her eyes flickering. She said slowly: "Do you know where my son is?"
At this time, the so-called Gu Daxia will naturally not speak out again.
"certainly!"
Gu Chaoci looked at Xuanci and said with a smile: "Do you still want to listen?"
Xuanci was startled, then he realized that Xu Zhu must be his son, but he had always been kept in the dark. Thinking of this, he felt even more guilty.
Xuanci said slowly: "Gu Jun, you once asked my senior brother to bring me a message. Could it be that Xu Zhu is my biological son?" His voice was still calm and calm as usual.
Gu Chaoci secretly admired his determination, but he just smiled and said nothing.
Ye Erniang's heart trembled, like an electric shock, and she said in a trembling voice: "Xuzhu? Lingxuanhui Kongkong, Brother Ci, have you seen our son? He also became a monk in Shaolin?"
Brother Ci, I...I burned nine incense scars on our child's back and both sides of his buttocks. Have you seen it?"
Now that her son's whereabouts have been revealed, she has become unparalleled and has even revealed such secrets.
The heroes immediately made an uproar. Not only did the Shaolin abbot violate the precept of adultery by having an affair with a woman, but he also raised an illegitimate child in the temple. Everyone was greatly scorned, and they whispered and discussed one after another.
Xuan Ci nodded and said: "Yes, thanks to Gu Jun's careful reminder, we personally checked and found that there were indeed nine fragrant scars on Xu Zhu's back and both thighs. But at that time, we didn't know he was my son.
This child was picked up and adopted by a monk from this temple. He was like this when he was a baby, and his origin is never known.
He himself was honest and honest, and he was too shy to talk to his peers. When he saw him while taking a bath, he said that he was born with Buddhism and had scars from abstinence, which made him even more determined to admire Buddhism!
I never thought that you were the one who ordered it for him, and I didn’t know about it!"
When Ye Erniang learned about her son's whereabouts, she felt relieved and said timidly: "I...I, even if I do this, I dare not tell you about it!"
At that time, during the Northern Song Dynasty, everyone took the precautions of etiquette very seriously. Heroes in the world were despised if they violated the sexual precepts, let alone monks.
Ye Erniang also thought that there would be no future for her and Xuanci. She just wanted to put a Buddhist ring scar on her son to show her love, but she never expected that her son would be snatched away.
Xuanci waved his hand: "Okay, let's talk about this later!" He immediately calmed down and returned to his usual solemn look.
He looked at Gu Chaoci and said: "Gu Jun, you are exposing this matter at this time because you want to force me, Shaolin, to lose face again. Since I am based in the martial arts world, I will naturally not be able to continue to embarrass you!"
Gu Chaoci nodded silently, and Xuanci continued: "It's just that I don't understand something, and I hope to clear up my doubts."
Gu Chaoci sighed: "How did I know this secret?"
Xuanci looked at him for a moment, nodded and said: "That's right! I asked myself that this matter is very secretive. Not even the brothers and sisters who have been with me for decades know about it. How did you know about it?"
Gu Chaoci smiled slightly and said: "There is no airtight wall in this world. There are some things that you think no one knows!"
Just like when you sent two masters, Xuan and Xuan Shi, to bring Qiao Feng out of the Shaolin Temple, and when he gathered in Xianzhuang to fight, he was rescued by the man in black, and even when he met A'Zhu Yanmenguan, and then the two fell in love.
, everything is in their eyes.
Isn't this also a secret matter? With Qiao Feng's martial arts skills, isn't it also a matter of confusion and ignorance?
But here I am, like a mantis stalking a cicada, with the oriole behind! I have a panoramic view of everything.
And I, Gu Chaoci, am often followed by others. In fact, this is the same truth. As long as I do it, there will be traces.
Of course, it is precisely because of this incident that all the heroes in the world are puzzled, thinking about Shaolin monks and lay disciples all over the world. Qiao Feng is a villain who killed his master and his parents. Why does Shaolin not do its best to kill him in order to clean up the family and maintain the purity of the temple?
name."
Xuanci said sternly: "The state has national laws, and families have family rules. In any sect, gang, clan or temple, it is inevitable that there will be unscrupulous disciples.
Therefore, the preservation of a clear name and reputation does not mean that no one will ever commit a foul, but that everything should be punished according to the law without any pretense.
Although Qiao Feng is a disciple of this temple and is notorious for killing his master and his parents, no one has ever witnessed all this process with his own eyes.
As the abbot, Lao Na would not come to this conclusion easily, so he asked his two junior brothers Xuan and Xuan Shi to follow him to judge his character.
Lao Na also wanted to go out in person to investigate Qiao Feng's martial arts with Xuandu, Xuanyin, Xuanzhi, Xuansheng and other senior brothers again. If he is really the murderer of Junior Brother Xuanku, the five of us will naturally kill him
Execute them and maintain the strict rules of this temple to prevent them from harming the world, but unexpectedly, the Weihuicheng incident happened!"
Xuanji, Xuandu, Xuanyin, Xuansheng and other monks said in unison: "Brother Abbot is right!"
Abbot Xuanci slowly swept his gaze across the heroes and said slowly: "Qiao Feng, the person involved, is dead, and the past is over!
But we cannot blame the death of Junior Brother Xuanku, Qiao Sanhuai and his wife directly on him, causing his reputation to be damaged.
This is also to explain to all the heroes in the world that my Shaolin disciples are not killing innocent people indiscriminately, but that our Shaolin sect has unfair precepts, and there is no concrete evidence yet!"
All the Shaolin monks chanted in unison: "Amitabha!"
Although only nine Shaolin monks of the Xuan generation came today, there are more than thirty in the temple, and all of them are top-notch masters.
After all, there were hundreds of disciples in the Shaolin Temple when they were junior disciples. Why did they become so few when this generation came to power?
That's because if the martial arts and prestige are not enough, the original monks of the Xuan generation will have their names changed. Not only will they no longer be ranked in the "Xuan" generation, they will not be included in the "Ling Xuan Hui Void"
These are the official rankings.
For example, in later generations, Jue Yuan was originally a peer of Wu Se and Wu Bian, but he had neither martial arts nor prestige, so he was not ranked among his peers.
This generation of eminent monks from the Xuan generation of Shaolin Temple have been famous in the martial arts for decades, and are known to everyone for their integrity and selflessness. Since they said this, the heroes would have no doubts when they heard it.
Only then did the heroes suddenly realize that Qiao Feng, as a disciple of Shaolin, was notorious for killing innocent people indiscriminately. However, Shaolin had not given clear instructions and had attracted countless criticisms.
Today, through the words of Gu Chaoci and other monks, Qiao Feng's innocence has been cleared. It's not that Shaolin is not pursuing Qiao Feng's purge, but is looking for evidence.
A'Zhu's acupuncture points were tapped by Gu Chaoci. He was speechless, but his face was filled with tears. He thought to himself: "Brother Qiao, your grievances have been washed away. You can rest in peace."
Gu Chaoci cupped his hands and said seriously: "Shaolin Temple has always had strict disciplines, and Gu naturally knows that.
Let's just say that today, the abbot was able to take responsibility for his actions in front of the world's heroes, which completely surprised me.
If you deny it flat out and gather everyone to besiege me, there is nothing I can do. For this alone, you will be worthy of your husband! I am so impressed by you!"
When the heroes heard this, they felt the same way.
When the heroes first heard about the affair between Shaolin Abbot Xuan Ci and Ye Erniang, everyone felt that he did not abide by the rules and felt contempt for him. When they saw him admitting it frankly in public, there was no excuse at all.
This kind of great courage is truly extraordinary, and everyone thought that just by recognizing it, he could make up for his temporary mistakes.
After all, what Gu Chaoci said was right. If Xuanci denies it outright and accuses the other party of deliberately slandering the centuries-old reputation of Shaolin Temple, and then attacks in groups, it might not be a solution.
How many people here have the same idea, thinking that if it were me, they would definitely refuse to admit it. What can you do to me?
Xuanci put his hands together and said: "I have inherited the mantle of my ancestors. Even though we are facing great difficulties today, we should act in the right way.
If you all try your best to preserve the reputation of Shaolin, it will be the legacy of our Buddha’s compassion and the legacy of our ancestors.
However, if I want to tarnish my pure name, I will sacrifice my life to protect the teachings and die in the temple, but I still have a clear conscience and do not violate the principles of our teachings.
We must not let Er Niang and a woman be criticized by all the heroes.
Moreover, my Shaolin Temple has brought great blessings to the world over the past hundreds of years and has profound good karma. Even if there are unscrupulous successors and a temporary setback, it will never be completely defeated and never recover."
What he said was calm and calm, yet upright.
All the Shaolin monks bowed together and said, "Abbott!"
Xuanci looked at Gu Chaoci again and said: "However, Lao Nayuan should not be admired by Gu Jun. You dare to say this, and I will plead guilty on my own, which is within your expectations!"
Gu Chaoci shook his head and said: "The abbot is joking, I am not in the driver's seat today, so I have no choice but to take this step.
But to me, this is just a gamble.
This is not because I have any strategizing methods, I just played my own cards, and the outcome depends on your thoughts. It’s not about how capable I am, it’s just your conscience that I’m betting on!
It's just that Ye Erniang's appearance was something I didn't expect. This makes my chances of winning even greater!
Even if you deliberately deny it, I'm afraid you can't bear to make your beloved woman sad!
In comparison, you are a gentleman, but I look like a villain, and I am really not worthy of showing off!"
Xuanci smiled slightly and said: "Gu Jun can express everything clearly, which shows his honesty. It is not enough to say that he is a villain and a gentleman.
Today we are joining forces, with the strength of our numbers, to force you to be alone. It is only human nature for you to make such a move for the sake of your lover and the lives of everyone in Mantuo Villa!
If you were the only one, I'm afraid you would have escaped long ago and chosen to come one by one to take revenge, right? Why waste time here!"
Gu Chaoci cupped his hands and said with a bright smile: "My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and my master is the one who knows me!"
Both Wang Yuyan and Mrs. Wang knew that Gu Chaoci and the Shaolin Temple did not have such a big relationship. Today, for people like his own, it can be said that he has forged irresolvable hatred with the Shaolin Temple.
Even though the Shaolin Temple has retreated today, the future is not over yet. This dispute has just been forged. I am quite touched and not without worries.
Xuanci focused his eyes on Gu Chaoci and asked: "Your Excellency knows this secret, you should know it from Xiao Yuanshan, right?"
Gu Chaoci was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why did the abbot say this?"
The abbot shook his head and said: "I am not a stupid person. You wanted to kill Er Niang in the Apricot Forest, but you were stopped by a man in black who possesses Shaolin's unique skills! And this man in black is Xiao Yuanshan.
He saved Er Niang not out of any good intentions, but because he wanted to take revenge on me!"
Gu Chaoci blinked his eyes and pursed his lips without saying a word.
Abbot Xuanci looked at the crowd and said loudly: "Old benefactor Xiao Yuanshan, if my guess is correct, you have been hiding in the dark for the past thirty years. You must have snatched my son away and deliberately placed it in the Shaolin Temple so that I can
I saw it but didn’t know who he was. I waited for a suitable opportunity to explode it and ruin both the old man and the Shaolin Temple!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Ye Erniang was shocked and angry. The doubts in her heart for many years were answered. She was inexplicably sad and angry for a moment. She stared at the crowd, the muscles on her face were trembling.
Xuanci is the abbot of Shaolin Temple, with tens of thousands of monks and lay disciples. He can control the overall situation, and he is not a reckless man. All things are corroborated, and it is not difficult to draw this conclusion.
Gu Chaoci admired him and thought to himself: "There are really no fools in this world who can achieve something!"
Just listen to Xuanci say again: "Old hero Xiao, it is understandable that you are angry with me and Shaolin, and want to seek revenge from me for killing your wife!
But you shouldn't pretend to be Qiao Feng and kill Qiao Sanhuai, his wife, and Junior Brother Xuanku. The couple regarded Qiao Feng as their own son, loved him as much as life, and raised him. Junior Brother Xuanku taught Qiao Feng martial arts, and spent ten years in the cold and summer.
Keep on cultivating him into a talented person.
Let him rise to fame in the world at such a young age. I'm afraid you will be comforted by his fame, right?"
When Xuanci said this, he paused and said with a look of astonishment on his face: "Yes, you did this on purpose to make the Central Plains warriors hate Qiao Feng, because you know that your son is a benevolent and heroic person. Otherwise, he would not be with him.
You are so indiscriminate in your revenge!"
The heroes couldn't help but look at each other, all looking for Xiao Yuanshan.
They knew that Qiao Feng did not kill his master or his parents, but they did not expect that Xiao Yuanshan did it by pretending to be Qiao Feng. Isn't this a trick on his son? But there are so many people here today, who can recognize them all?
Gu Chaoci also looked around and thought to himself: "This old man was seriously injured. With his ability, he can recover in less than a month. That's a fool's errand!"
Besides, even if he is here, he will definitely not come out!"
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she turned to look at A'Zhu, her eyes were shining brightly, her lips moved slightly, and she transmitted a secret message to Wang Yuyan: "Yan'er, search A'Zhu's body to see if she has any books!"
Wang Yuyan quickly touched A'Zhu's chest and abdomen and shook her head.
An idea came to Gu Chaoci's mind. He knew that A'Zhu stole a copy of "Yi Jin Jing" from Shaolin Temple and gave it to Qiao Feng. The contents of the book were all in Sanskrit and Qiao Feng didn't understand it. In the end,
After being touched by You Tanzhi from Qiao Feng's body and encountering water, the "Shen Zu Jing", a method of practicing internal strength, appeared, which actually enabled him to achieve perfection. In a short period of time, his internal strength increased greatly.
Could it be...
After a while, no one responded.
Gu Chaoci burst out laughing suddenly, and everyone's ears were buzzing. Suddenly his smile faded, and he said disdainfully: "The abbot thinks too highly of Xiao Yuanshan! He is no longer the heroic Khitan hero he was back then.
He is just a rat in a stinking ditch. Now he has deliberately fabricated such a lie and provoked everyone in the world to come to Mantuo Villa. If he shows up, he will rush to attack me! How dare he calmly fight with all the heroes?
Meet?
Even if you give him ten more courages, this old man won't dare to come out. Qiao Feng, a heroic man, has been unlucky for eight lifetimes with a father like him!"
Gu Chaoci deliberately spoke fiercely, trying to force out Xiao Yuanshan, who might be present, but after a long time, no one responded.
Xuanci smiled slightly and was noncommittal. Suddenly he flicked his sleeves and raised his voice and said: "I have violated the Buddhist precepts. I will never go back. I have tarnished the reputation of Shaolin. I no longer have the face to face all the heroes. Today I resign as abbot."
Junior Brother Xuanji will take over the position! As for the crimes I committed, I will give an explanation to the heroes of the world!"
Xuanji was stunned for a moment and said in a trembling voice: "Senior brother...senior brother!"
Xuanci waved his hand and said sternly: "The reputation of our Shaolin Temple has been good for hundreds of years, how can it be ruined by my hands?"
Xuanji said with tears: "Yes! Follow the law!"
Xuanci looked at Gu Chaoci, cupped his fists and cupped his hands and said: "I am the abbot of Shaolin. I have sinned on my body and have not yet accepted my sins. I have no face to tangle with you.
But you killed Er Niang first in the past, and today you made everything public, causing Shaolin's reputation to be damaged.
You have your own reasons, and I have my own ways. Here, Xuanci alone wants to challenge you. Regardless of victory or defeat, life or death, everything ends here. I just want peace of mind!"
Everyone saw that what he did directly was the vulgar ritual of cupping fists and cupping hands, rather than the Buddhist ritual of folding one's hands.
As soon as these words came to the ground, everyone was even more surprised. This meant that there was no need to hold back, all grudges ended here, both sides fought with all their strength, and life or death was a matter of fate.
Gu Chaoci's martial arts skills were so high that no one in the world could challenge him in a single fight. Therefore, it was more of a death challenge than a challenge, which showed that he was disheartened and unwilling to live anymore.
Ye Erniang was very anxious and shouted: "Abbott..."
Xuanci waved his hand at her and took a Zen staff from his junior brother. It was seven feet long and as thick as an goose egg, with a shiny golden body. It seemed to be made of gold mixed with steel, or there were several layers of gold on the outside of the staff.
One look at it and you can tell how heavy it is.
Stepping towards Gu Chaoci, Ye Erniang felt sorry in her heart, but she was afraid of Xuanci's majesty and did not dare to say more.
Seeing this, Gu Chaoci raised his eyebrows and thought to himself: "Is this monk so fierce?"
Xuanci held the Zen staff in his hand and said solemnly: "What kind of weapon does Gu Jun want to use?"
Gu Chaoci waved his hand and said: "Thank you, whatever weapon I want to use, I can get it myself, so I don't have to worry about it, abbot!"
Everyone understood that whether he needed a weapon or not depended on whether he wanted it or not. This arrogant attitude was truly unparalleled in the world.
But seeing Gu Chaoci standing tall and majestic, he couldn't help but feel frightened and somewhat expectant.
It is not difficult to predict the outcome of his duel with Xuan Ci. But how it will end is very intriguing. Everyone focused their attention on the two of them.
The two faced off for a long time, both sides filled with vitality, just like a bow that was fully charged and ready to be fired.
Suddenly, he heard a shout from Xuanci, and saw a ray of yellow light rushing towards Gu Chaoci. When the wind of the staff surged, it was like thunder.
