Chapter 204: Where Did The Leader Go? (2)
Seeing that things had taken a new turn, Li Wunai's vitality immediately turned a hundredfold. He put both of his palms together, recited 'Amitabha Buddha', and then pronounced every word correctly in a mellow voice. "The world is so muddy, where justice has difficulty distinguishing between good and evil. There is neither absolute evil nor absolute good in this world. Only those who have an evil or a good heart. This poor monk has spent many days with the people of the Mojiao Sect and found that their hearts were full of goodwill. They are not traitors, nor are they villains. All of you should not listen to slanderous words and harm the innocent."
All the major sects present to denounce Chu Changge fell into silence. They did not know how to refute his words.
On the other hand, South, East, North, West and the others tried to hold back their laughter which led them to have internal injuries. "When the Great Master started to talk about the Buddha's theory, he really wanted to kill them invisibly." East Guardian had to speak through gritted teeth, as he was afraid that if he opened his mouth too wide, the laughter in his chest would leak out.
"I finally understand why Shaolin Temple is the titan in the martial arts world." West Guardian echoed. North Guardian couldn't speak up as he had to endure himself from letting out a laugh. He could only nod repeatedly beside West Guardian. In return, West Guardian gave him a disgusted filled, icy look. Thanks to his usual unsmiling expression, South Guardian had the most profound skills to hold his laughter. At this moment, only he could maintain his expressionless face. He was silent for a few seconds before saying in a deadly earnest and unhurried manner. "Give me three thousand monks, and I can unify the jianghu."
"Pu" As a result, the trio of East, West, and North finally burst out laughing. Yun Si Niang was also thunderstruck by South Guardian that she lamented. "I also finally understand why Chu Changge took you four with him everywhere. You guys are simply a wonderful magic treasure to prolong life! I'll follow you guys in the future. Maybe I can stay young forever too."
"......" Can they consider her words as praise? Probably. South, East, North and West were trying to comfort themselves when their eyes coincidentally fell on the still sleeping Chu Changge's face. They mumbled in their hearts: Leader, now is a good time for you to prolong your life. Look, many people have come to entertain you. So wake up quickly.
At the same time, as the quartet burst out laughing, the major sects also came back to their senses and realised that they had been fooled by Li Wunai. However, because of Li Wunai's identity as the Shaolin Abbot, they could not act rashly. But the murderous aura coming from them had obviously increased a lot.
Li Wunai also felt the change on the enemy's side. His mind became a mess. He knew that at this time, he absolutely could not lose his head. Once the balance broke, the consequences would be unimaginable. After contemplating for a while, Li Wunai secretly took a deep breath and spoke in the stance of a Shaolin monk once more. "The country has a national law and family rules, while the martial arts world also has its own rules. If you, heroes, insist on punishing Chu Changge, in that case, this poor monk dares to request for him to be brought back to Shaolin Temple for questioning."
"No way. Tianlong Mountain is more than a thousand miles away from Shaolin Temple, and it will take at least a month to come and go. A month is too long, and there are too many variables. In case of Chu Changge recovers his martial arts skills while on the way, escapes and comes out to do evil again, who will be responsible then?"
"Right! We can't go to the Shaolin Temple."
"Going to Shaolin Temple is the same as giving them a chance to breathe. There is no need to talk about the rules of jianghu with this kind of big demon that everyone wishes to kill."
......
......
They all opposed Li Wunai's suggestion to bring Chu Changge and the others back to Shaolin Temple for interrogation.
When Li Wunai heard their arguments, he sneered in his heart. As it turned out, these people had been instigated by someone. This was why they dared to make trouble after learning about Chu Changge being unconscious. No wonder something like this would happen.
Such a group of hypocrites jianghu, who bully good people and fear evil ones (Chinese idiom: bully the good and fear the wicked)!
At this moment, Li Wunai deeply felt ashamed for being in an upright and prestigious sect. However, no matter how much disdain he had in his heart, he could not show it. He had to maintain the image of a respected Shaolin Abbot at this moment. Putting away his sneer, Li Wunai said expressionlessly, "In that case, let's do the trial after the Martial Arts Assembly on the fifteenth of the eighth lunar month. Tomorrow is already the fifteenth. You can at least wait for one night."
The crowd hesitated at his words. A part of the people agreed to interrogate Chu Changge after the election of the Great Leader of Martial Art tomorrow. Another part insisted that a long night would be fraught with dreams and that Chu Changge must be executed right away. The argument between the two opposing sides was at odds, making the opinions between the major sects divided.
Seeing this situation, Li Wunai was overjoyed. He picked up where he left off and continued, "Punishing Chu Changge today will create a feud between the Mojiao Sect and the major sects. Whoever cuts that fatal slash first will receive extermination on the entire sect by the Mojiao Sect. After all, today, the ones you manage to siege are only the Sect Master of the Mojiao Sect and his Four Great Guardians. There are still ten elders of the Mojiao Sect, every section's main leaders, and countless original and wild followers, each with high martial arts skills and eccentric habits. The way the Mojiao Sect works is that if you kill their leader, there's no way they won't look for you to pay for the debt of blood. But suppose Chu Changge is executed at the Martial Arts Assembly tomorrow. In that case, it will be an act of the entire jianghu. Even if the Mojiao Sect comes to seek revenge, it will be a struggle between good and evil and will not hurt anyone individually."
This semi-threatening and powerful analysis allowed the major sects to quickly unify their views. They unanimously decided to interrogate Chu Changge tomorrow.
Seeing the major sects leave one after another, Li Wunai heaved a sigh of relief in his mind. Afterwards, he unintentionally lifted his sleeve to wipe away the sweat on his forehead, thinking: Chu Changge, I have said so many things that nearly make me sick. It has not been easy for me to get you one night, so you must take advantage of it.
South, East, North, West and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. The image of Li Wunai in their eyes, suddenly becoming taller than ever, could simply be compared to the God-like Murong Yunshu. "Great Master, you will definitely be able to become immortal in the future." Yun Si Niang said with a smile.
Li Wunai let out a snort with his head turned up to the sky, expressing his unwillingness to accept someone's afterthought. He could clearly remember that a particular person said that he would likely become a ghost.
Yun Si Niang also snorted. "Petty ghost."
Li Wunai: "It's a petty immortal!"
"......" Is that even the point? Yun Si Niang rolled her eyes at him. "Honestly, it will be better if you just stay as a monk. With this kind of intelligence, even if you go to the immortal world, you will only lower the level of intelligence there. Sooner or later, the immortals will regard you with disdain, and with just a kick of their feet, you will descend to the mortal world to start a new life."
"......" As it turned out, she had already helped him pre-determine his entire reincarnation process? He really wanted to thank her. [+]
East Guardian: "Great Master has saved us, at least. So let's be polite to him."
North and South nodded their heads in succession. "Great Master has spent half a shichen to save us. No matter what, we can't let him be a hero just for half a minute. That will be plain too cruel to him as a monk." West Guardian said.
Yun Si Niang: "What does this have to do with him being a monk?"
West Guardian was speechless. He did not know how to answer that question, but he heard South Guardian fervently answer, "Monks are strong because they don't have bad hearts."
"......" Monks were indeed strong. But this one in front of her was clearly sluggish and not a joyous one for her to see. "My heart despises you." Yun Si Niang stated.
Li Wunai looked up at the sky speechlessly. Who did he provoke here?
At this time, a fragile voice rang out, "Why don't you just slash the Great Master with a sword? Let's help him become immortal and then use his eternal power to save us?"
Li Wunai immediately jumped up, suppressing the urge to shout and yelled, "Miss Lu-er, don't just tear down the bridge after crossing the river!"
Lu-er blinked. "I just can't figure out why can't we do that. I'm not trying to tear down the bridge after crossing the river."
"......" After suffering an internal injury, Li Wunai became exasperated once he found that Lu-er was really thinking about the feasibility of that approach. Because of Lu-er's words, South, East, North, West and Yun Si Niang also began to think about the feasibility of this method. In the end, they unanimously decided that if Chu Changge did not wake up tomorrow, they would help Li Wunai become an immortal. Hearing this conclusion, Li Wunai looked up to the sky again and sighed. Dear God, please take me back quickly. This world is too dangerous. I want to be an immortal!
Just as everyone was teasing each other, the major sects that had just left suddenly made a return.
"We almost got cheated! Chu Changge was struck by the Lihen Palace's Seven Days of Sleep Poison. Within seven days, if someone heals him with internal energy, he will be able to wake up. One night is enough to heal him!"
"How cunning!"
"As the Abbot of Shaolin, how dare you do something favouring the Mojiao Sect. This is simply an insult to the reputation of Shaolin Temple."
......
......
Li Wunai was almost drowned by the spray of saliva from the major sects. It took a while for him to respond in astonishment. "There is such a thing? Chu Changge will really wake up within one night?"
The shock on Li Wunai's face calmed down the indignant major sects a little. "Could it be that the Abbot doesn't know about this?"
"I really don't know. If this poor monk had known this, he would not have stopped you all from doing the right thing for heaven." Li Wunai's tone sounded so sincere, but in his heart, he had already expressed his condolences one by one to the eighteen generations of ancestors of the one who had instigated the trouble caused by the major sects.
Li Wunai's sincerity again made the major sects hesitant. Should they believe him?
Suddenly, an unknown person shouted, "Don't believe him! He already knew about Chu Changge's situation. And he is also the same as the Four Great Guardians of the Mojiao Sect. They have fallen prey to the Lihen Palace's Thousand Desires poison. They are simply the same people all the way! The Lihen Palace maids can testify to this matter!"
In an instant, everyone looked upstairs at the Lihen Palace maids.
Li Wunai secretly muttered this is bad. Once the Lihen Palace maids opened their mouths, his lies would be exposed.
When the Lihen Palace maids received everyone's gaze, they did not answer immediately. They were silent for a moment before one of them replied indifferently, "We have never seen this monk before."
Li Wunai thought he had misheard and looked at Yun Si Niang. Seeing that Yun Si Niang also looked stunned, he believed that it was not an illusion and that the Lihen Palace maids really did not tear him down.
Why?
Li Wunai was puzzled. But now was not the time to think about this question. The most important thing was to delay the time for Chu Changge to have a chance to breathe.
After taking a deep breath, Li Wunai spoke out in a deep voice. "Gentlemen." He paused for a few seconds before continuing, "Now that the truth is revealed, all of you should retreat first. Tomorrow at the Martial Arts Assembly, this poor monk will definitely bring Chu Changge."
All the major sects agreed and retreated, but suddenly they heard someone yell, "That is their collusion. If we don't kill Chu Changge today, we will be killed by him the following day. Whether Li Wunai is suffering from the Thousand Desires poison, we will know once we try." As soon as the words left this person's mouth, someone came at Li Wunai from the side.
Li Wunai dodged, looked at the sound and caught the moment when the person turned away. "It's him!" Li Wunai whispered.
"Who is it?" Yun Si Niang asked.
"Huo Zhantang, the man in white with a golden crown who had asked Murong Yunshu at the inn if she had divorced Chu Changge."
Yun Si Niang: "I remember that man. He was accompanied by two red-clad kids."
Li Wunai: "Yes, that's him. This person's origin is unknown, and his martial arts skills are unfathomable. He is Hua Tiansheng's number one martial arts expert."
Yun Si Niang: "That Hua Tiansheng again. No wonder the major sects came so coincidentally."
While the two exchanged whispers, the crowd was once more provoked to catch Chu Changge. For a while, the major sects began to be more threatening.
Li Wunai was still trying to calm the crowd down when he heard the North Guardian call out, "Great Master, be careful!" Li Wunai suddenly realised that a gust of strong wind was coming straight to his chest, and he turned pale with fright.
South, East, North and West also held their breaths and their hearts were already in their throats. If this palm wind didn't paralyse Li Wunai, it would at least break three of his ribs.
All of a sudden, a horsewhip flew in the air, curled up around Li Wunai and threw him aside in the nick of time. The palm wind failed to hit Li Wunai and struck the table behind him with a loud bang. The table was split into pieces.
Li Wunai looked at the ruins table with shock and muttered to himself: If not for this life-saving whip, I would have been in the same condition as the table at that moment, ruined beyond repair.
Li Wunai took a long breath before exclaiming, "Feng Cheng, you've come. If you had been another step late, I would have been dead and gone."
Feng Cheng: "From my point of view, the most you can get is a lifelong disability. That slap won't take your life."
"......" Lifelong disability can also drive someone to death, okay?
Feng Cheng: "What's more, isn't dying also a practice for you?"
"...... " The world's misconceptions about monks are just too deep!
Feng Cheng's appearance made the situation take a drastic turn. All the major sects immediately put away their weapons. "Young Warrior Feng, are you also going to be wallow in the mire with the Mojiao Sect?" Someone among the main sects questioned Feng Cheng. Please read this chapter at xinshou blogspot com.
"I only want to save my friends." Feng Cheng coldly replied.
"I remember your reputation had been dismissed by Chu Changge. Why do you still want to help him?"
"Are brothers not brothers anymore just because they have a fight?" Feng Cheng asked rhetorically.
"What a self-sacrificing person you are, the one who has even surpassed Hua Tuo. How dare you call yourself a brother with the great demon!"
Feng Cheng sneered, "I can't tolerate others making irresponsible remarks about whom I become brother with!" After saying that, he sent a strike of his palm over, and its wind firmly slapped the man.
This slap thoroughly angered the major sects. "Since you are so stubborn, don't blame us for killing both of you together!" With these ruthless words, the major sects swarmed him with their weapons.
Feng Cheng coldly snorted and flung a bottle of elixir to Li Wunai, saying, "One for each person. Within a quarter of an hour, your power will be restored to seven or eight per cent. But it can only last for two hours at most. We need to fight quickly."
Li Wunai was overjoyed and hurriedly distributed the elixir to everyone on his team.
It seems like, in terms of relationship ranks between Chu Changge, Murong Yunshu and the others, the bottom three tiers are filled with Lu-er, Li Wunai and North Guardian. Poor people.
