The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 638 Weird Under the Mountain

July [-]rd.

Today is not an auspicious day in Japan, it is just the closing day of this year's Obon Festival.

However, the fire broke out suddenly and completely burned down the Putian South Shaolin Temple, which hosted this Dharma Conference.

This year's Fa Conference seems to have come to an end, and it seems that there will be no end to it.

Nine Lotus Mountain Shangnan Shaolin.

Jiulian Mountain, named for its nine mountains clustered together and shaped like lotus flowers in full bloom, is not considered high, but it can be said to occupy a vast area.

In addition, the trend of the mountains is slowing down, there are no strange peaks, and the junctions between the peaks and ridges are relatively smooth and smooth, which is especially suitable for building houses.

Therefore, after thousands of years of wind and rain, the ancient temple has been repaired and expanded again and again, and the area of ​​the temple alone is comparable to a small half of Suzhou City.

In the temple, there are up to the abbot, down to the servants and disciples, and there are thousands of resident monks.

It was the Obon Festival, and there were more than 900 foreign visitors and temporary residents in the temple.

A huge place where nearly 2000 people lived could be burned down overnight, which can be described as a fantasy.

What's more, among these 2000 people, not to mention [-]%, at least half of them have martial arts, even if they are in a deep sleep, when the fire comes close, they should always be alert and wake up, or put out the fire, or escape, and absolutely should not be killed. A mere conflagration engulfed it completely.

But that's what happened.

The fire burned all night and day, and it was not extinguished until nightfall yesterday when a heavy rain was triggered.

The various forces that came from all corners of Zhongzhou all stopped within a radius of more than ten miles from Jiulian Mountain.

Because they discovered that the Jiulian Mountain at the far end had been burnt to ashes, and the three villages near Jiulian Mountain were actually ten rooms and ten empty!
Except for the livestock raised by the villagers, there is no sign of an old man or a child.

In every household, there are more or less traces of recent life such as burnt firewood, food on the table, and the bed being lifted. Some houses have damaged tables and chairs, and utensils have fallen to the ground. The faint blood stains.

It seemed that everything indicated that these villagers were abducted together the day after the South Shaolin fire broke out.

As for where to abduct, the heavy rain may wash away people's footprints, but we have not seen a large number of people moving on the way, nor have we found any signs of murder and burial near the village. It is not difficult to deduce that the villagers were probably killed Turned to Jiulian Mountain.

Personnel from some forces who arrived in advance have not been able to send out relevant information, and have even disappeared so far. This also shows that the fire in Southern Shaolin is not only extremely strange, but also serious.

Many questions linger in everyone's mind.

Which force has such courage and means to destroy such a huge temple?
Are the three Shaolin Golden Seals that have been widely circulated before one of the reasons for the fire in South Shaolin?

After the Southern Shaolin was burned, did the golden seal still exist, or was it stolen?
Will the group of "ghosts" who disappeared for more than a day also be involved?

Before the fire, did other accidents happen in South Shaolin?
How many chances are there for the thousands of monks from the Southern and Northern Shaolin and more than [-] temples in Zhongzhou to survive?
What is the connection between the southern Shaolin fire and the villagers in nearby villages?
Which force took them all away?What is the purpose?and many more……

It was originally a clear day, but the entire Putian County was shrouded in dark and thick clouds.

The night in the rivers and lakes of Zhongzhou seems to have come quietly.

……

……

There are four seasons in one mountain, and different days in ten miles.

Zhongzhou is so big that people in the north and the south often have very different conversations after dinner.

When the South Shaolin fire was still spreading and fermenting in Fujian, the Daxingjing of Wala Kouguan had caused panic in most of the people in Zhongzhou north of Gusu.

As a result, the imperial court temporarily lifted the military restriction order in Fujian, and called on all righteous men and heroes from all walks of life to go to Putian to kill the old Wala thieves.

Where there is war, there is victory.

Twenty years ago, after Zhongzhou successfully resisted the barbarians, it signed peace agreements with the invaders.

At that time, Zhongzhou was full of devastation and a thousand wastes were waiting to be built. The imperial court only claimed the lost land and appropriate compensation from the foreign countries, and did not speak loudly.

Even a beggar on the side of the road would not believe that the 50-year peace agreement of non-aggression and non-interference can be implemented smoothly.

But for Zhongzhou, which has a profound heritage, it will basically be able to recover within 30 years, and anyone who commits crimes will probably lose nothing.

Even though in the past 20 years, Zhongzhou's temple disputes have continued, and there are only a lot more internal friction than 20 years ago, it cannot be denied that Zhongzhou's overall national strength is still thriving.

Regardless of the extent to which the military power of the imperial court has developed, the living conditions of the rivers and lakes and the people are already strong evidence.

Ordinary people have generally got rid of the living conditions of dire straits. It is not easy to live, but it is not difficult to survive.

If it weren't for the fact that the imperial court has been targeting and suppressing the forces of all corners of the rivers and lakes overtly and secretly in recent years, the gang sect system is becoming more and more healthy and perfect, and gradually blending and coexisting with the lives of the people. Although it is difficult to compare with 30 or [-] years ago, it can undoubtedly be called a Prosperous scene.

Therefore, anyone with a little foresight can almost predict that sooner or later, the peace agreements will be unilaterally torn up again in advance.

After all, getting along with a powerful neighbor requires carefulness, trepidation, and even humiliation.

But if you can kill this neighbor before it becomes stronger, or give it a certain amount of damage, and at the same time seize resources to strengthen yourself, even if it only delays the time for the opponent to become stronger to a certain extent, and can bring some benefits to yourself, then It's worth the risk.

It's just that not many people could have foreseen this day coming so early.

Not many people expected this day to come so early.

Fortunately, the current imperial court is not mediocre, and the current war has been controlled within the territory of Daxing.

Whether the Oirat army has enough power to go south is still a matter of debate.

In short, compared to the many wells and alleys in northern Zhongzhou that are worrying about family and country affairs, in Putian County, Fujian Province, in a restaurant, tea shop and hotel full of families, people talk about the same things without exception. Something is involved.

Bear the brunt of the South Shaolin fire.

Followed by the closely related Shaolin Golden Seal.

The last one has something to do with Wala.

It turned out that the "bamboo pole monster" that caused headaches for the government, changed people's faces, and caused heavy casualties to the Xiexie League was the number one warrior of Wala who slaughtered all directions in Zhongzhou 20 years ago, Tu Wanfang!

……

……

Three quarters of an hour.

Meng Chaoge, Shi Zhonghuo, Dong Qing, and Ji Zhe left from the Luojiao Inn and headed towards Jiulian Mountain again.

They arrived near Jiulian Mountain yesterday, and they were also part of a group of more than a hundred people who stopped in front of Jiulian Mountain after exploring three empty villages one by one.

There was no news of the three groups of five members from Tingyu Pavilion who arrived earlier than them.

Out of prudent considerations, the four of them did not go to be the early birds, but drifted back to Hanjiang Town with the crowd.

While paying attention to find out more information, while discussing whether to join forces with other gangs to go to Jiulian Mountain to find out.

There is a tea soup shop in Hanjiang Town, which was originally an Anzi of the Anbu of the Doi League, and it has also become a transit point for Tingyuge to contact secretly.

When they first entered the museum, they learned about Jiang Yichen.

Thanks to the blessing of the Shaolin Golden Seal, the business of the tea soup shop is booming. In order to prevent the ears of the partition wall, all information is passed on to the four people through meaningful dishes.

The tea soup restaurant "self-assessed" served them the best and most filling five dishes of the season, to show that Jiang Yichen was fine at the moment.

Fat but not greasy, full of strength, mellow taste, and no smell of pig intestines. It is not only a famous snack in Putian, but also used to imply that Jiang Yichen has suffered many minor injuries.

A plate of unshelled peanuts means that Jiang Yichen will not be able to show up for the time being.

Followed by a plate of sliced ​​bitter bamboo shoots, it means that Jiang Yichen is in a situation where the bitter master is entangled.

The joint interpretation of the top and bottom is: Jiang Yichen was targeted by the enemy, so he could only hide in the dark and act.

The enemy that Jiang Yichen can't avoid must be the top master in the world.

As for who Jiang Yichen provoked, Meng Chaoge and the others had no way of knowing.

Chaocaixin naturally wants Meng Chaoge and others to rest assured, so everyone no longer worries too much about it.

And the last platter of ten Putian seafood, including clams, nine-section shrimp, razor clams, crabs, oysters, etc., is to show that the newly formed muddy water is full of fish and dragons, so proceed carefully.

Obviously, Jiang Yichen, who was forced to leave the team to escape from the pursuit of his enemies, not only came to Putian County in advance, but also discovered some strange things about the current situation of Jiulian Mountain in the process.

To untie the bell, one needs to tie the bell. They came here for Southern Shaolin, and they cannot avoid the problem of Southern Shaolin.

Then, we can only go to the mountains to find the answer.

　There is a general direction, but the details are unclear, and Kawen is very TOT
