Chapter 248: Three Crossings
Xin Zhen's words immediately made everyone in Wudang lively. Yu Lianzhou said loudly, "Master, please be careful with your words. My master is still here."
Nun Miejue snorted coldly and said, "So what? Just because Master Zhang is here, can you stop me from telling the truth?"
Wei Yixiao chuckled and said, "Old Nun Miejue, have you forgotten who rescued your Emei Sect? How come you are destroying the bridge after such a short while?"
Nun Miejue snorted and said, "Emei and Mingjiao have a deep hatred for each other. Mingjiao saved us Emei once, so I did not seek revenge on you again. But it is absolutely impossible for us to be grateful and go along with you!"
As they were talking, Xin Zhen's disciple came in again in a hurry and said, "Master, the senior monks from Shaolin Temple are here too. The three great monks from Shaolin Temple, Du'e, Dujie and Du'nan, are here with their disciples!"
When these words came out, some people showed joy on their faces, while others were quite surprised. Even Zhang Sanfeng looked surprised: "The three masters are here?"
One of the three old monks had a dark face, one had a withered yellow face, and one had a pale face. All three monks had sunken cheeks and were so thin that they had no muscles at all. However, the five eyes of the three monks were bright and spirited.
When the three monks saw Zhang Sanfeng, they were also surprised, and hurriedly saluted Zhang Sanfeng, but they performed the etiquette of juniors.
After the three monks exchanged greetings with Zhang Sanfeng, they ignored Xin Zhen, the host of this place, and then looked at the Golden Lion King Xie Xun, saying, "Xie Lion King, come back to Shaolin Temple with us."
Xie Xun shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't go to Shaolin Temple with you right now. I need to find Cheng Kun. After I kill Cheng Kun, I will go to Shaolin Temple to apologize."
Du Nan said: "Thank you, Lion King, when will the cycle of revenge end? Come back with us to Shaolin Temple, where you can chant Buddhist scriptures day and night in front of the ancient Buddha and the green lamps. This will help you eliminate the anger in your heart and the sins in your body, and then you can find inner peace."
Xie Xun bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your advice, Master. But if I cannot kill Cheng Kun and avenge my family, I will never be able to calm down."
At this time, Tang Wenliang, one of the Five Elders of Kongtong, said sternly, "Xie Xun, do you still remember me, Tang Wenliang?"
Xie Xun turned his head to look at Tang Wenliang, nodded and said: "The Five Elders of Kongtong are here too, what do you think?"
Tang Wenliang snorted and said, "Xie Xun, you stole our Kongtong Magical Skills Secret Manual. We are here today to retrieve the Seven Wounds Fist. Also, you must give us the Dragon Slaying Sword as compensation, or we will kill you!"
Xie Xun laughed: "You are here for the Dragon Slaying Sword too, right? No problem, just come and get it yourself."
Tang Wenliang shouted, "Boss, let's go."
Before Guan Neng could say anything, Ban Shuxian of Kunlun Sect sneered, "You Kongtong people are raising a good banner. What do you mean by retrieving the Seven Wounds Fist? To put it bluntly, it's all for the Dragon Slaying Sword."
Tang Wenliang snorted and said, "I came to Kongtong for the Seven Wounds Fist. What hatred do you have with Xie Xun in Kunlun? Why are you running here today? Are you here to watch the fun?"
Ban Shuxian snorted and said, "Xie Xun is a man who has brought disaster to the martial arts world. As one of the six major sects, is it not possible for us, Kunlun, to seek justice for our fellow martial artists who died tragically at the hands of Xie Xun?"
Then someone else joined in the quarrel, each one sounding more righteous than the other, but implicitly they all believed that Xie Xun should be handed over to their own sects for handling, and the argument began to non-stop.
Xin Zhen watched the sun rising higher and became impatient. If it continued like this, they would miss the wedding. These people who didn't want to do anything came to his wedding and messed up things. They might even start a fight, which would inevitably result in deaths. It was too unlucky.
Xin Zhen said loudly: "Everyone, listen to me..."
No one paid any attention to him. Xin Zhen took a deep breath, spoke with true energy, and said loudly: "Everyone! Listen to me!"
The rumbling sound waves containing internal force immediately frightened everyone from various sects, and they all looked towards Xin Zhen.
Xin Zhen said: "Today is Zhou's wedding day, and the auspicious time is coming. If you want to stay and have a drink at the wedding, please stay. Zhou will receive you well.
If you want to settle old grievances with Xie Xun, please go outside, so as to avoid bloodshed, which is unlucky after all. Please stop."
Xie Xun said in a clear voice: "That's right. If anyone wants to settle a grudge with me, please follow me, so as not to ruin the master's business."
With that, Xie Xun walked outside.
The people blocking the door drew their swords and guns and shouted loudly: "Xie Xun, don't leave!" "Xie Xun, you evil villain, how dare you run!" "Block the door, don't let him get away!" "..."
Some people even rushed towards Xie Xun with knives and guns, and a chaotic fight was about to break out.
Xin Zhen suddenly became angry. He dodged through the crowd and rushed into the group of people. He stretched out his hands and slapped, grabbed, tapped and pushed them with extremely quick techniques. He snatched all the swords and guns from the hands of those who rushed up to attack him and knocked them back. Suddenly, a large area at the door was empty.
Xin Zhen threw more than a dozen weapons in his hands out of the door and shouted, "I said, if you want to fight, go outside and do it. Don't pollute my home. If anyone dares to fight here, don't blame me for being rude!"
Xin Zhen looked at the Shaolin people and said, "Master Kongwen, take your Shaolin people out!"
Before Kong Wen could say anything, the skinny old monk with a pale face asked, "Are you Zhou Yan?"
Xin Zhen took a look at the old monk and knew that he was one of the Three Divine Monks, but he didn't know which one he was. From what he said, it seemed that he had some opinions about him. Not only was he disrespectful to the host here today, but he was also calling him by his name, which seemed quite rude.
Xin Zhen knew that the three masters of Shaolin were of high seniority, but that was no reason to disrespect them. Since they were not polite, Xin Zhen would not be polite either. He said, "I am Zhou Yan, the owner of this place. You are not welcome here. Please go out."
The pale and skinny old monk frowned and asked, "You are the one who defeated my nephew Kong Xing?"
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "It's me. What can I do for you?"
The skinny old monk said: "You broke my nephew Kong Xing's Dragon Claw Hand and also broke his confidence, which led to him fighting with others and being killed. This karma finally fell on you. We in Shaolin are compassionate and don't want to commit more sins of killing. You should go to Shaolin Temple with Xie Shiwang to practice in seclusion."
Xin Zhen said, "Do I need to bring my Heavenly Sword with me?"
The old monk nodded and said, "Every time the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber appears in the martial arts world, it will stir up a huge storm of blood and poison the martial arts world. It is indeed not appropriate for him to appear in the martial arts world again.
We in Shaolin are willing to shoulder the responsibility of karma and take Yitian Tulong into our temple to calm the turmoil in the martial arts world. This is also the mercy of the Buddha, so you can follow us."
