Chapter 56. The mystery of the identity of the sweeper
The sweeping monk has already understood the form here.
"Abbot." The sweeping monk raised his palms and bowed to Xuanci, "But it was the old monk who brought this suffering to Shaolin."
After saying that, he looked at Lu Zhi again: "The old monk decided to leave Shaolin, and what happened to Murong Bo, the old benefactor, was all done by the old monk himself and had nothing to do with Shaolin. Therefore, the old monk is responsible for all these crimes.
Come and take the responsibility, and I hope that the real person will not embarrass Shaolin."
Lu Zhi was unmoved and just said: "Senior, don't you think that you can take on everything by yourself? This battle in Shaolin is entirely your own fault!"
"The Shaolin monks do not engage in production or pay taxes, but they occupy almost all the land in Songshan Mountain. In recent years, they have recruited monks and trained monks on a large scale. The past events of the Tang Dynasty are still vivid in our minds!"
Hearing this, Xuanci and other monks were suddenly shocked. It turns out that this is why the imperial court wanted to suppress their Shaolin?!
"Taoist Priest! Please listen to what the poor monk has to say." A thin monk said, "The poor monk is the general manager of this temple, and all the Shaolin land is managed by the poor monk."
"And I, Shaolin, have never deducted from the people at the foot of the mountain. I, Shaolin, have given up land to the people for farming, but only collected a small part of the harvest. We"
Lu Zhi interrupted impatiently: "That's enough. I only want to ask you two questions. Where did the land under your Shaolin name come from? And why do you dare to ignore the laws of the country? In your own name, protect the people.
tax?"
"Furthermore, in Shaolin, the number of monks in the temple is probably close to a thousand, right? How many of them are scoundrels who became monks to avoid trouble after committing crimes?"
"I heard that the huge Shaolin Temple can no longer accommodate these giant Buddhas, so you Shaolin people are already planning to open a branch temple in Putian, right?"
These monks really don’t know how to write the word “death”!
How did Shaolin get so much land under its name? It was donated by believers! If it’s just a little bit, it doesn’t matter.
But within Songshan Mountain, almost all the land within a hundred miles is under the control of Shaolin!
And more importantly, why did those people dedicate their land to Shaolin? Because Shaolin Temple does not have to pay taxes! Shaolin helps those people tax exemption, which seems to be a good thing with great merits, but for the court, this is simply taking money.
The way to die!
You use the interests of the country to seek personal gain and earn reputation for yourself. You show kindness to the people and attract the people to be grateful to you, Shaolin. However, it seriously affects the operation of the country. Are you really going to be detrimental to the sword in the hands of the old Zhao family?
In addition, Shaolin has not known how many monks it has recruited over the years. It is enough if they do not take the initiative to report to the court. What do you think the monks they have recruited are?
After killing someone in his hometown, he fled to Shaolin and escaped into Buddhism to avoid being hunted. Villains who have committed many evil deeds are afraid that they may go to hell after death, so they quickly find the Buddha to worship him.
Shaolin Temple does not dare to accept flower-picking thieves, gangsters, local tyrants and evil gentry. Do you really think that with the name of a Buddhist disciple, you can put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately?
If this was not a martial arts world, and even the secular imperial power could not suppress everything, there would be no need for Lu Zhi to come here today to cause trouble. The old Zhao family would have dealt with these monks long ago!
Lu Zhi didn't bother to talk nonsense to these monks. He didn't understand the overall situation and thought he had great merits. How could such people know where they were wrong if they didn't deal with them properly?
"Senior." Lu Zhi looked at the sweeping monk, "Are you really going to embarrass us and others because of this Murong Bo?"
The sweeping monk lowered his eyelids slightly and said as if he was dreaming: "Even if he deserves it, the old monk can't help but protect him."
"Please be kind to the real person and let the old monk leave with him. The old monk promises that from now on, he will take him back to the mountains and forests. From then on, he will never come out to do evil again in the life of the ancient Buddha Qingdeng."
Lu Zhi remained silent and let Murong Bo go? Absolutely impossible!
Seeing his resolute attitude, the sweeping monk had no choice but to turn to Qiao Feng again.
"Donor Qiao, the old monk can condition your father's body and resolve the hostility accumulated in his body. I hope that by doing so, I can resolve the grudge between old benefactor Murong Bo and you."
Hearing this, Qiao Feng couldn't help but show a look of hesitation on his face. He must avenge this great revenge, but at the same time, he must save Xiao Yuanshan's life.
"Feng'er, don't worry about me. I should have gone with your mother thirty years ago. I have survived to this day just so that one day I can kill this old thief Murong Bo and avenge your mother."
.”
But it was Xiao Yuanshan who spoke up and told Qiao Feng not to worry about him. His deep hatred for Murong Bo could not be resolved no matter what!
"I know, kid!"
"Hey," the sweeping monk sighed helplessly, knowing that what happened today was destined to be unforgettable.
At the next moment, he suddenly moved, with a figure like the wind. He grabbed Murong Bo and flew towards the back mountain in an instant. The speed was as fast as thunder and lightning, and everyone was just blurred in front of their eyes.
Then they lost sight of the two of them.
"stop!"
"Don't even think about escaping!"
Lu Zhi and Qiao Feng followed up in an instant, chasing all the way away. However, the sweeping monk's Qinggong was incredibly fast, almost like a ghost, but in an instant, he had already swept out of the field.
, flying straight into the forest behind the mountain.
The sweeping monk's lightness and speed made him feel as if he had shrunk to an inch. With just one step, he had already crossed several feet. If he hadn't been holding a big man like Murong Bo in his hand, he would have inevitably...
If it affects his speed, even Lu Zhi may not be able to catch up with the old monk!
Several people flew quickly towards the back mountain one after another. Qiao Feng also slowly distanced himself from Lu Zhi and the sweeping monk in front. The light skills of these two people were beyond his comparison.
The sweeping monk's Qinggong has returned to its original state, almost shrinking to the ground. Lu Zhi is almost like flying into the sky, relying on his deep energy and superb body skills to walk in the air. Both of their figures have already
It's getting to the point where ordinary people can't capture it at all, and can only see two blurry afterimages.
Therefore, within a cup of tea, Qiao Feng could barely catch up with the backs of the two of them, but the further back he went, the further the distance between him and the two of them became. In the end, even the backs of the two of them could not be seen.
No longer visible!
swish
The mountains and forests on both sides quickly retreated. Lu Zhi and the sweeping monk were one behind the other. In just a short moment, they had already passed through the mountains and forests and reached the peaks further back.
Seeing that he still couldn't get rid of Lu Zhi, the sweeping monk was able to spare some of his mind while running with all his strength. He raised his palm and pressed back lightly.
Wave!
There was an air shock, and a powerful force of chopping air suddenly hit Lu Zhi, forcing him to change his position instantly to avoid the palm.
Boom! There was a loud noise, and the forest exploded. A huge tree as thick as a bucket was smashed into pieces and branches all over the sky by the sweeping monk's palm!
Lu Zhi was not to be outdone. He raised his finger and fired out a thrust sword, hitting the sweeping monk directly in the lower back!
But the sweeping monk just swayed, and then struck back at Lu Zhi with a sword thrust in his backhand!
"!!!"
Lu Zhi's eyes widened suddenly, and some shocking speculation suddenly emerged in his mind.
But he didn't dare to think deeply anymore, so he quickly regained all his concentration, and once again shot a Six-Mein Divine Sword, canceling out the reflected mid-charge sword in the air.
boom!
When the sword energy collided, a huge impact suddenly exploded in the mountain forest. Waves of soil flew up and fallen leaves flew. Lu Zhi's forward momentum was inevitably blocked for a moment, and he was pulled away by the sweeping monk in an instant.
Lu Zhi's eyes narrowed, and he burst out his energy again to speed up and catch up. At the same time, thoughts surged in his heart.
There should be no mistake. What the sweeping monk used just now must be the Star Movement!
And being able to transfer the Zhongchong Sword back, he must have studied the martial arts of the Six Meridians Divine Sword. Even if he does not know it, he must have fought against people who possess the martial arts of the Six Meridians Divine Sword!
But over the years, apart from Lu Zhi, the only creator of the Six Meridian Divine Sword, Duan Siping, has completely mastered this magical skill. The sweeping monk must have fought against Duan Siping back then, and definitely more than once or twice.
Chapter completed!
