Chapter 340 The Northern Beggar's Challenge

"I didn't say that you are no longer Zhiren after returning to the vulgar. I mean that Zhiren is no longer a monk in Shaolin Temple. Then, as an ordinary person, Zhao Quyou, why not go to Shaolin to worship Buddha? Could it be that Shaolin Temple is now Also divide the pilgrims into three, six, and nine grades, some let in and some not let in?"

"Letting in is naturally letting in..." Zhao Quyou thought for a while, and suddenly slapped his thigh, "Hey, what Brother Qin said is right, I pretend to be a pilgrim and go back quietly to have a look, can't it be enough? Yes! Go back and look Look, come back after watching!"

Qin Shuhuai chuckled, "That's right! Doesn't this solve everything?"

Zhao Quyou laughed, "Brother, you have a way. Speaking of which, I haven't been back for ten years. The plants and trees of Shaolin often appear in my dreams, and I miss them very much."

"Okay, since that's the case, I wish Master Zhao a smooth journey on his return visit to his old place."

Qin Shuhuai said, replace wine with tea, respect Zhao and go to You.As long as Zhao Quyou returns to Shaolin, there is a great possibility that he will be recognized, and even with his personality, he may go to Zhiyuan and the others by himself in a moment of emotion.

Zhao Quyou drank tea with a smile, and suddenly said, "Master Qin, don't you want to go to Shaolin?"

Qin Shuhuai pondered for a while, feeling that Zhao Quyou's proposal was a bit strange.Since he planned to go to Shaolin quietly and then come back, wouldn't it be easy to expose him if he went with him?You must know that Shaolin monks may not recognize him who has been away for ten years, but some people can recognize him.During the martial arts conference, many Shaolin monks had seen him.

After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly understood.

Where did Zhao Quyou just want to go back to Shaolin to have a look? He was simply tired of living outside and wanted to go back to Shaolin to become a monk!It's just that he didn't have the face to tell the abbot himself, so he asked a middleman to tell the abbot on his behalf.I know him so well, and I have friendship with Shaolin's Zhikong and Zhiyun, so if he doesn't look for him, who will he look for?

Thinking of this, Qin Shuhuai couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly.This guy……

Forget it, Zhiren can go back to Shaolin, which will benefit him a lot, so let's go to Shaolin with him.

So he said, "Master Zhao is right. As for me, I also wanted to go to Shaolin and talk to Master Zhiyuan about the martial arts alliance. In that case, let's go together, and we should have a companion on the way." .”

Zhao Quyou smiled heartily, "Hey, that's good, that's great! Let's go together, the road will not be boring."

So, when Hua Chen and the others came back, Qin Shuhuai immediately asked them to buy a carriage and told them to go to Shaolin Temple.As soon as the few people heard this, they ran out again to buy the carriage and household items for the road.

After finishing these, it was already evening.Without delay, the five of them took two carriages and set off directly from Liaocheng to Songshan.

Along the way, the car is light and easy, so I don't need to say much.Two days later, they arrived at Mount Song.

They rested overnight at the foot of Songshan Mountain, and in the early morning of the second day, they went up the mountain to Shaolin Temple.

The five people climbed up the stairs, but they saw people coming down from the mountain all the time, shaking their heads and looking resentful.

According to Zhao Quyou, the monks who used to help the old and the weak on the mountain road are now gone.

After walking for a while, I finally saw a thousand-year-old temple, surrounded by Sanskrit sounds, solemn and solemn.

Then the door closed.

At this time, two monks who knew guests came up and said to Qin Shuhuai and his party, "Amitabha, some benefactors, there is something in the temple today, it is inconvenient to welcome pilgrims, please come back another day."

The expressions of the two Zhike monks were very serious, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

All five of them felt strange, wondering if something serious happened in Shaolin?
Qin Shuhuai stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and said to one of the monks who knew guests, "This master, helping Qin Shuhuai in Xiajianghe, is here to pay homage to the abbot Master Zhiyuan, as well as the two masters Zhikong and Zhiyun of your temple. The journey is not easy. I don't know if Master can make a report on his behalf?"

The two Zhike monks were slightly startled when they heard that the young man in front of them was actually the leader of the famous Jianghe Gang, Qin.

Today Shaolin has something to do, or it may be dangerous, ordinary pilgrims are not allowed to enter.But if it was the head of the Qin Gang of the Jianghe Gang, it would be a different matter.

So one of the guest monks said, "Master Qin, please wait here for a moment. The little monk will go in and report." After saying that, he hurried into the gate of the temple.

"Thank you, Master."

Not long after, the well-known monk came out and said to Qin Shuhuai, "Several benefactors, please follow me."

Qin Shuhuai and his party entered the temple.In the middle of the walk, Zhao Quyou suddenly said that he was going to the latrine, so he borrowed the excrement escape, thinking that he was not ready to see Zhiyuan and others.

Not long after, Qin Shuhuai and others were taken to a small courtyard behind the monastery.

Zhiyun is already waiting here.

Qin Shuhuai stepped forward to pay homage, "Master Zhiyun, don't come here without any problems. I will miss you so much when I say goodbye that day."

Zhiyun returned the gift, "The leader of the Qin clan is here to welcome you, and I hope Haihan is here."

"Master, on the way down and up the mountain, I saw your monastery closing its doors to thank visitors, what happened?"

Zhiyun said with a stern expression, "It's okay to talk to the leader of the Qin clan. The leader of the Qin clan knows that the northern beggars are now wooing various factions in the north, threatening to form an anti-gold alliance with fellow martial artists to defend the family and the country, and jointly resist Huang Taiji's tyranny. matter?"

Qin Shuhuai frowned slightly, and said, "I've been in the south of the Yangtze River for the past few days, and my whereabouts are erratic. I think my brothers can't find me, so I haven't heard about it yet. However, if we want to form a martial arts alliance, the beggars in the north will It seems that they have something to say about the anti-gold alliance. Master Zhiyun, how many sects agree to join this so-called anti-gold alliance?"

Zhiyun smiled wryly, "Beibei lobbied in the north before, but most sects did not agree, saying that they would only agree if Shaolin and Wudang joined the alliance. So, Beibei came to the door yesterday. However, Shaolin agreed to cooperate with the alliance. The leader of the Qin clan co-founded the martial arts alliance, and they would never agree to join their 'anti-golden alliance'. It's just that they insisted on Shaolin agreeing, and proposed a martial arts competition, saying that if Shaolin wins, the matter will be dropped , if Shaolin loses, you need to agree to join the alliance."

Qin Suhuai sneered and said, "Hehe, are they trying to frighten the martial arts by defeating Shaolin? But this is too presumptuous. There are so many masters in Shaolin, just send them away."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Chief Qin, there are now a few more shamans outside the pass in Beibei. These people's martial arts are all unfathomable, and I'm afraid it's difficult to deal with."

Qin Shuhuai wondered, "The martial arts of these shamans are really so high, are they even afraid of Shaolin?"

"These people come from the Wandasa sect outside the pass. Wandasa is the number one sect in the martial arts outside the pass. There are so many masters in the sect, and they are unpredictable. These people said that because they were persecuted by Huang Taiji, the sect was destroyed. They just came to the Central Plains, hoping to unite with the Central Plains martial arts comrades to resist Huang Taiji's tyranny, so they joined the Northern Beggars."

Qin Shuhuai sneered and said, "These Tartars really underestimate the IQ of the Central Plains people. They have always been loyal to the Aixinjueluo family in the martial arts outside the pass. It is no wonder that Huang Taiji is willing to kill them now. They made up such a ridiculous reason to come to the Central Plains , nothing more than wanting to help the northern beggars to unify the martial arts. In the final analysis, I am afraid that our Central Plains martial arts will unite and fight against them."

Zhiyun smiled embarrassedly, "What is the truth? It's not easy to jump to conclusions now. However, they should be here in a while."
