Chapter 289 Bai Zhantang: This Pirate Saint, I'm going to be!
Bai Zhantang naturally knew what the four major thieves in Jiangnan were planning.
Firstly, they want to save their own face, and secondly, they want to withdraw themselves from the competition for the Thief Saint.
Now that I have withdrawn, I can legitimately hand over the relics when the time comes.
This is their real purpose!
"If the prediction is correct, this competition will not be so peaceful. No one will be willing to let the four major thieves in Jiangnan get the name of Thief Saint."
Thinking about it, Bai Zhantang suddenly laughed, but what does this have to do with him.
He will just admit defeat when the time comes!
Thinking about it, Bai Zhantang looked at the people around him and said: "Everyone, everyone now thinks that I have got the relic. I know that no matter how I explain it, you will not believe it without me.
Therefore, it’s not just me who has the final say for me to compete with the four great thieves in Jiangnan, right?”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted: "That's right!"
"The name of the Thief Saint is of great importance. Naturally, it cannot be decided easily between the two of you!"
"no……"
Listening to the shouts of the people around them, the faces of the four major thieves in the south of the Yangtze River turned dark, but they couldn't say anything.
They say they are the Four Great Thieves in Jiangnan, but they only have some reputation in the world of thieves. Looking at the entire world, no one will obey them.
At this time, naturally I dare not say anything.
At this time, Bai Zhantang smiled slightly and said, "In that case, let's all take part in this competition.
How about we share a goal and fight for it together, and whoever wins will get the title of Thief Saint?"
Upon hearing Bai Zhantang's proposal, there was a burst of discussion among the crowd.
After a long time, someone loudly said: "I have no objection to this method!"
"I don't have any objection. Tell me, what goal do you plan to set?"
Finally, more and more people responded.
"Brother!" Shangguan Haitang looked at Duan Tianya anxiously.
Seeing this, Duan Tianya shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, let's take a look and then talk..."
Almost at the same time, everyone from Dongchang, Xichang, Jinyiwei, Shenhou Mansion, and Six Gates who were hiding in the dark were observing the situation secretly.
At the same time, they also immediately sent a message to the forces behind them.
Seeing that everyone present had agreed, Bai Zhantang smiled slightly and said loudly: "Okay, the target is Shaolin Temple, Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and Yi Jin Jing!
Within one month, in the capital round, whoever steals the Yi Jin Jing will be the Thief!"
"Wow!"
After hearing the goal set by Bai Zhantang, everyone couldn't help but take a breath.
Shaolin Temple, Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Yi Jin Jing!
These twelve words alone have scared off most of the people present.
What kind of place is the Shaolin Temple, what kind of place is the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and what is the Yi Jin Jing? Is Bai Zhantang crazy?
He actually looked forward to stealing the Yi Jin Jing!
And he still said it so openly and openly. Are you tired of living?
How brave is this person to do such a thing?
I believe that within a day, this news will reach the ears of Shaolin Temple, and then Shaolin will inevitably impose a strict ban on the entire temple.
By then, let alone entering the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to steal the Yi Jin Jing, I'm afraid I won't even be able to go up the mountain.
Moreover, Shaolin Temple is a century-old temple with many masters, except for the undefeated naughty boy Gu Santong who once challenged it.
Who else would dare?
And even if it was Gu Santong, it was just a place to meet at the beginning.
I have never heard of going to Shaolin Temple to act wild.
Who gave Bai Zhantang such courage to commit suicide and steal the Shaolin Temple?
"In that case, it's settled!" After saying that, Bai Zhantang took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, used his Qing Gong, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
And several major forces in the imperial court, including Hulong Villa, Dongchang, Xichang, Liumen, Shenhou Mansion, Jinyiwei, etc. all followed.
The task they currently receive is to follow Bai Zhantang closely.
They will not make any decisions without receiving the latest order.
…
Out of the city.
Bai Zhantang did not stay or go to Shaolin Temple, but began to wander aimlessly.
For several months, they went around in circles, either doing chivalrous acts or robbing the rich and giving to the poor.
In addition, his reputation and whereabouts were noticed by people in the world. As time went by, his reputation gradually grew.
I don’t know why, but the reputation of the Thief Saint is also spread from ten to ten.
It completely made a sound in the world, Stealing Saint White Jade Soup!
One day, by the West Lake.
Bai Zhantang had traveled to this point, and suddenly, the conversation of some Jianghu people nearby caught his attention.
"Have you heard that the Thief Saint has disappeared for more than a month?"
"What does this mean? The four thieves in the south of the Yangtze River have made an appointment to steal the holy white jade soup tonight, August 15th, and are preparing to compete. If they lose, they will retire from the world."
"Do you think the Thief Saint will go?"
"Hey, it's impossible to tell. The four thieves in the south of the Yangtze River know that Bai Yutang likes to rob the rich and give to the poor. They have already said that if Daosheng doesn't go to the appointment.
They stole all the poor families that the Thief had helped."
"..."
Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Bai Zhantang was startled, and a look of thought flashed in his eyes.
"Boy, you won't go this time, right?" Gu Santong's voice sounded again.
Hearing this, Bai Zhantang's eyes flickered, and then he said: "Senior, do you think I should go? I have seen too many charlatans and intrigues these days.
Maybe I made a mistake when I stepped into this world." Bai Zhantang drank the wine in one gulp, a look of exhaustion flashed in his eyes.
"Hey, kid, you should go. Do you know what the fate of those who rushed to Shaolin is now?"
Gu Santong sneered.
"What?"
"Everyone was imprisoned in Shaolin and forced to put down the magic sword to remove their demonic nature. Now neither you nor the four major thieves in Jiangnan have gone to Shaolin.
The entire Jianghu hates you to the bone. The four major thieves in Jiangnan are already afraid. I think this time, they want to withdraw from the Jianghu.
In other words, whether you go or not, they will announce to the outside world that you are superior to them, and they will be convinced and retire from the world.
Then, the remaining people will definitely focus their attention on you."
"Just like the concubine of the Yangzhou magistrate, General Fuyuan's Kowloon Cup, etc., as your reputation grows, you have already taken the blame for everything.
Jianghu, you can’t just retreat if you want to!”
Gu Santong said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Bai Zhantang fell silent, "Then what should I do according to your ideas, senior?"
"Since you can't retreat, then move forward bravely and create a new world. When you reach a height that these people cannot reach.
These troubles will not be troubles, but honors. As time goes by, no one will dare to make trouble against you. Maybe there is a way out!"
After hearing the first half of the words, Bai Zhantang frowned. This was not what he wanted. He was not very keen on fame and fortune.
When I heard Gu Santong say there was another way, I couldn't help but ask: "What way?"
"Become a Thief Saint, overcome all difficulties, meet His Majesty, ask His Majesty to come forward, and allow you to retreat from the world. By then, no one will dare to trouble you!"
After listening to Gu Santong's words, Bai Zhantang thought for a moment, then a flash of determination flashed in his eyes and said: "Okay, if that's the case, then I will become the Thief Saint!"
"Today, I will go to the appointment!"
Looking at Bai Zhantang who had made up his mind, Gu Santong's eyes flashed with light, and he thought to himself: "...Actually, this road is not smooth either.
The day you arrive in the capital will be the day you go through blood jade and fire and become famous all over the world."
