Comprehensive martial arts: Summon Li Chungang and ask Wu Zetian for advice

Chapter 96

Songshan Shaolin Temple.

Everyone in the Main Palace looked solemn when they heard the news.

The atmosphere in the already solemn hall became even more depressing at this moment, making people feel extremely depressed.

As the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Mingyuan frowned even more at this moment and looked extremely solemn.

He originally thought that with so much accumulated in Buddhism, Zhu Houzhao would be able to retreat despite the difficulties.

But he never expected that before he, the Buddhist disciple, could go to Zhu Houzhao to reason, Zhu Houzhao would send two land gods. It seemed that the Ming court was the victim from the beginning to the end.

Such domineering behavior made him extremely angry even though he had many constraints in his heart.

He, a Buddhist, has been tolerant over and over again, but this is how Zhu Houzhao treated his Buddhists?
Zhang Sanfeng's expression on the side was also extremely ugly. The result he least expected to see happened.

This war is inevitable after all.

He looked in the direction of the Ming Palace, his eyes were low and solemn, and there was a look of worry that could not be concealed between his brows.

Although Buddhism now has three land gods plus himself, the gap is not big compared with that of the Ming Dynasty.

But for some reason, he still couldn't feel relaxed in his heart. Instead, he became more solemn with the appearance of Li Chungang and others.

He always felt that when Zhu Houzhao did this, he must have his own trump card.

Just when some people are sad, others will naturally be happy.

The hot-tempered Master Miejie glanced at the solemn expressions of everyone, and couldn't help but sneered and said disdainfully: "What? Everyone present is a respectable person, how can they be so greedy for life and afraid of death?"

Holding the Yitian Sword in hand, she walked slowly to the center of the crowd, with a hint of pride in the corner of her mouth, and coldly snorted: "We have always been in harmony with the imperial court, but this time it was Zhu Houzhao who crossed the line."

"Is it possible that Zhu Houzhao really dares to make our entire martial arts enemy the enemy?!"

And such words have been unanimously recognized by everyone.

After all, the people who can come here, apart from the monks, are mostly people who watch the fun and don't mind it.

They don't want Buddhism to surrender so easily.

For a time, everyone was excited and filled with righteous indignation.

"Yes, the power of the Ming Emperor is indeed terrifying, but it is still wishful thinking to suppress the entire Ming Dynasty."

"Now that we have seniors like Master Zhang and Doujiu Divine Monk here, what is there to be afraid of?"

"That's right, the Ming Emperor is so domineering now. If we surrender easily, who knows how he will exploit us?"

"The rivers and lakes, the Ming Dynasty still needs the rivers and lakes after all. Does Zhu Houzhao dare to risk the world and wash away the rivers and lakes with blood?"

As he talked, the martial arts people present became more and more excited and extremely angry.

No one would want someone to stand above them, let alone such a rebellious and unruly martial arts person?

If they still had fear in their hearts before, now with the appearance of legendary figures such as Zhang Sanfeng and Doujiu Shenseng, all that fear has disappeared.

Which one of them here is not the leader of a faction, and which one does not have the background behind him?

If the Ming Dynasty really left people like them, wouldn't it be in chaos?
Seeing everyone's emotions being aroused by him, Master Jue also smiled with satisfaction.

This is exactly what she wanted.

Although the three land gods are invincible, doesn't Zhu Houzhao have to weigh it against the entire martial arts world?

As the saying goes, the law does not punish everyone, even if it fails in the end, it will only be a lose-lose result.

In that case, no matter how bad the result is, Buddhism will not stop its inheritance.

It's just a pity that she underestimated Zhu Houzhao's determination to destroy Buddhism, and she also underestimated human nature.

Now, it is true that the momentum is huge, the crowd is excited, and the slogans are shouting extremely loudly.

But in fact, among the many people present, more and more people are sitting on the sidelines and watching the fire.

Apart from the monks, how many people have an inseparable interest in this matter?Once a fight starts, how many people will side with Buddhism?
Zhu Houzhao seemed to be facing the entire martial arts world, but in fact he was just a force in his Buddhist sect from beginning to end.

This is exactly what Shaolin Temple Abbot Mingyuan is worried about.

He looked at the heavy duty filled with indignation and felt uneasy in his heart.

These people seemed to be trying to boost Buddhism's momentum, but in fact they were using Buddhism as a weapon to explore Zhu Houzhao's reality and attitude.

But what's the use if he understands this truth now?

Could it be that Zhu Houzhao would change his mind and not exterminate Buddhism because he understood this truth?

Could it be that he led the entire Buddhist sect to retreat to other countries? Not to mention whether other countries would accept it, Zhu Houzhao alone would never allow it.

After all, his original order was for all monks to return to secular life instead of migrating to other countries.

Therefore, there were only two choices before him in Shaolin Temple from beginning to end, either surrender and Buddhism would be extinct, or refuse and Buddhism would be extinct.

Either of these two choices is unacceptable to Buddhism.

Now he only hopes that Buddhism's foundation can be better than that of Li Chungang and others, so that all problems will be solved easily.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and a storm is coming.

Tomorrow is the deadline agreed by Zhu Houzhao. Is it Zhu Houzhao who is unparalleled in domineering, or is he more Buddhist?
The outcome of all this will be tomorrow, but the previously turbulent world of daimyo is surprisingly calm at this moment.

It's just that this seemingly calm world is actually full of undercurrents.

Everyone is extremely clear that a major earthquake will occur throughout the Ming Dynasty after tomorrow, and the centuries-old martial arts structure will be completely broken.

No one in the world can stay out of it.

……

Wudang.

Song Yuanqiao looked into the deep night, his brows furrowed and his eyes flickering.

"I don't know why I always have a bad premonition!" He lowered his head and looked a little solemn.

"Elder brother, don't worry. Master, he has good fortune and spiritual knowledge, and with his Buddhist background, everything will be fine!" Zhang Cuishan saw this from the side and couldn't help but feel relieved.

Song Yuanqiao also nodded when he heard this, but his expression was not relaxed at all, and even became more solemn.

He had great faith in Zhang Sanfeng's strength. He did not think that his master and the eminent Buddhist monk would be defeated by Li Chungang and Lao Tianshi.

What he was really worried about was that Zhu Houzhao had other background. He didn't think Zhu Houzhao would be so arrogant.

A person who has endured for so long and accumulated a lot of experience should not become so reckless.

Since Zhu Houzhao dared to do this, he must have other means or trump cards.

But until now, he has never understood why Zhu Houzhao targeted Buddhism?
Is it simply to show his power as the emperor?

If that's the case, would it be a bit too childish?

And at this time.

I saw a burst of fire rising into the sky, and countless palaces and pavilions were burned to the ground.

The sky was filled with firelight that illuminated the entire night, as dazzling as day.

Immediately afterwards, bursts of painful wails came from outside the palace.

"not good!"

When Song Yuanqiao heard the miserable wailing, his expression suddenly changed drastically. He summoned up his powerful inner strength and shouted loudly: "All Wudang disciples are on alert to meet the enemy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped away and ran towards the outside of the palace, wanting to check the situation.

Chi Chi Chi!
The moment he stood up, a murderous sword intent struck from outside the palace.
