Xuanbei had already noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere. The eyes of the heroes on the scene looked at his four senior brothers, full of anger and hostility.
Thoughts were running through his mind, and he glanced at Xuanji with a thoughtful expression.
"Master Xuanbei," He Xie bowed slightly, "please explain the reason for this."
Just as Xuan Bei was about to speak, Xuan Ji stepped forward and said, "Junior brother Xuan Bei!"
He stared into Xuan Bei's eyes: "Did you get permission from the abbot to come down the mountain?"
Xuan Bei looked at him in silence for a long time, and then said slowly: "Senior Brother also knows that Junior Brother Xuanku's disciple Zhijing was kidnapped. The poor monk went out to search and found the lost Zhijing thirty miles outside Tokyo.
Tell the poor monk that he heard with his own ears that someone else confessed to the crime of killing Mr. and Mrs. Qiao and Junior Brother Xuanku."
He Xie couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this.
He had done everything he could, but who would have expected that the little monk was such a wanderlust that he would get lost at the foot of the Shaolin Temple and almost end up in Tokyo!
Just because the young monk didn't have time to return to Shaolin to send a message, Xuanji and Xuantong wanted to kill Qiao Feng. Otherwise, if Shaolin gets this news, they will definitely know that this matter is full of loopholes, and then forcefully accuse them.
Qiao Feng is no longer realistic,
In this case, they had to step in to stop the battle at Juxian Village.
A small mistake caused today's situation to become unmanageable.
I don’t know whether it was Qiao Feng’s destiny or Shaolin’s destiny.
Xuan Ji's expression at this time was very strange, as if he was relieved, but also seemed to have made some kind of determination, while Xuan Tong behind him still looked miserable at this moment, clenched his teeth and said nothing.
Qiao Feng couldn't help but stand up and said anxiously: "I dare to ask Master Xuanbei, who is the person who harmed my parents and mentor?"
Xuan Bei shook his head: "This person has never shown his true face, but according to the Shaolin disciple who saw him in person, this person was in his sixties, had half a century of temples, and had an old voice. In addition, this person seemed to have a deep hatred for Donor Qiao.
"
A smile flashed across He Xie's eyes. It seemed that the conversation with Xiao Yuanshan that night had successfully misled the young monk.
Xuan Bei didn't tell the whole truth. The two outsiders had been hiding in the Shaolin Temple for decades. After all, it was very disgraceful to Shaolin, but it was hard to tell them in front of so many people.
Xuan Bei met the little monk Zhi Jing outside Tokyo. When he heard about this, he immediately knew that something bad was going on. He immediately ordered his disciples to escort Zhi Jing back to the temple. He and Xuan Nan hurried to Juxian Manor to stop Xuan Bei.
.
Why is he so anxious?
Just because he knew what Xuanji was going to do.
Thirty years ago, Xuanci led the heroes of the Central Plains in a bloody battle at Yanmen Pass. Although Xuanbei did not participate, he also stayed in the temple. How could he not know this?
All the eminent monks of the Xuan generation who were the same generation as Xuanci actually knew about this matter. After all, this matter was such a big deal thirty years ago, so there was no reason for Xuanci to hide it from everyone in the temple.
After Qiao Feng was born in broad daylight, Shaolin was divided into two factions and argued endlessly. One faction believed that Xuan Ci should stand up and admit the matter, while the other faction believed that Xuan Ci should stand up and admit his mistake, which would damage Shaolin's century-old reputation. Qiao Feng's identity as a Khitan
It is a fact. How can a dignified martial arts leader from the Central Plains admit his mistake to a Khitan Huru?
Moreover, Qiao Feng has great martial arts skills. Who knows whether this person will anger the entire Shaolin because of this incident?
At that time, Shaolin's reputation will not only be damaged, but it will also gain a new enemy.
Xuan Bei is the group that supports Xuan Ci's confession of his mistake. There are only two people behind him who support him, one is Xuan Nan who came with him, and the other is Xuan Ku.
The other faction supports Xuan Ci and refuses to admit it. The leader is Xuan Ji, and all the remaining eminent monks of Xuan generation support him.
Even Abbot Xuanci prefers to wait and see what happens.
The Shaolin Temple has unified its thoughts, and the next step is to find people who personally experienced this incident, or who knew about it, and ask them to keep it secret for the time being.
Zhiguang, Zhao Qiansun, Tan Gong, Tan Po, and Shan Zheng are all the targets of the Shaolin Temple's social strategy.
In addition to these Jianghu people, there is also a pair of farmers at the foot of the Shaolin Temple who also know Xuanci's identity. They are Mr. and Mrs. Qiao.
Because it was Xuanci, Wang Jiantong and Zhiguang who delivered the infant Qiao Feng to the hands of the Qiao couple.
Early on the next morning after the Shaolin Temple unified its internal thoughts, Xuan Tong led his men to unite the Qiaos and his wife. However, Xiao Yuanshan took the lead and killed the Qiaos and his wife.
In fact, Xiao Yuanshan also attended the Shaolin Temple meeting, which is also an important reason why Xiao Yuanshan suddenly killed someone.
Why did Xuan Tong directly blame Qiao Feng for the death of Mr. and Mrs. Qiao?
It was because he found that there was no better outcome than Qiao Feng's ruin!
So he made a decisive decision and accused Qiao Feng of killing his father and mother.
After Qiao Feng escaped, he immediately returned to Shaolin and reported the matter to Xuan Ci.
And Xuan Bei, Xuan Ku and Xuan Tong were unaware of this matter from beginning to end.
Later, Xuan Bei heard a junior brother talk about this matter accidentally and immediately realized that there was something fishy about it. However, before he could ask Xuan Tong, Xuan Ku was attacked.
What happens next is a matter of course.
Xuanbei disagreed with Shaolin's concealment of this matter from beginning to end. In his opinion, it had no impact on Shaolin's reputation. But after all, this matter related to Xuanci's reputation and life. He had always been compassionate and could not bear to tell Xuanci to repay
In terms of cause and effect, he never expected that things would change so quickly.
Xuan Bei knew very well that there were more secrets hidden behind this incident, such as the identity of the murderer, and who was the person who abducted the end that night?
And the man's intention of leaving Zhijing back to spread the message was very obvious. If Xuan Ji still insists on going his own way and blaming all the sins on Qiao Feng, Shaolin's reputation will be completely plummeted and it will be despised by the martial arts people.
This was also the reason why he felt so sad when he saw that he was one step too late and a big mistake had been made.
Not only because many people died, but also because he knew that the Shaolin Temple was destined to steal the chicken but lose the rice this time.
When Xuanji asked him something, he remained silent for so long before answering because he finally followed his heart.
For Xuanbei, monks should not tell lies, it has never been a slogan, but a principle.
Qiao Feng fell into deep thought because of Xuan Bei's words. He couldn't remember that he had an old enemy.
Xuan Bei looked at Xuan Ji with pity, sighed softly, and shook his head slightly.
Although the two senior brothers have always had disagreements, they have already developed an understanding after getting along for decades.
Xuanji knew what Xuanbei meant and understood that the matter was beyond control.
His face suddenly calmed down, he clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to Xuan Bei.
Xuan Bei's face became more sad, and his eyes showed an unbearable look.
Xuannan, who came with him on the other side, couldn't help chanting the Buddha's name, shaking his head and sighing.
He Xie watched with cold eyes, keenly aware of the subtle eye contact between the several monks.
