Chapter 52: Nonsense, Cursing in the Street
They spoke all these words to a middle-aged man with a square face and a dignified look.
And he is Shan Zheng, the iron-faced judge who is quite famous in the world.
The reason why he is known as the Iron-faced Judge is that it is rumored in the underworld that he is a man of justice and meddlesome nature, and he will intervene in all matters, big or small, that he encounters.
But he is also impartial and upright in his dealings, and therefore is highly praised by people in the underworld.
So much so that later on, many people would take the initiative to find Shan Zheng to seek justice when they encountered problems.
Following him are his five sons, each of them is quite capable and are known as the Five Tigers of the Shan Family by the people of the world. At this moment, they are all rubbing their hands, eager to give it a try.
When Shan Zheng heard that the Shaolin monks and the Beggar Gang elders were praising him, a hint of complacency flashed in his eyes.
But he quickly adjusted himself and put on a serious expression.
"Don't worry, everyone. This is about the unique martial arts of the Shaolin Beggars' Sect. I will definitely take it seriously. Moreover, I have been traveling around the world and upholding justice for so many years. What I hate most is those who steal martial arts from other sects. If he knows what's good for him, he can teach him obediently. If he doesn't know what's good for him, I will definitely not stand idly by."
Shan Zheng's words were full of confidence.
The two Shaolin monks expressed their gratitude and praised Shan Zheng a few more times.
Gong Chang Zhang frowned and said, "Let's go and ask about this matter first. It may not be stolen..."
But before he could finish his words, Elder Xi next to him interrupted him.
"Two great monks, Brother Shan, the martial arts school is just ahead."
As he spoke, he pointed to the west entrance of Qixia Town.
When the group approached, they found that the martial arts school occupied a large area, and there was a vacant lot outside under construction, apparently for expansion.
Several people exchanged glances, and at the same time, Elder Xi secretly made a gesture to Wan Dajin.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the martial arts hall.
Looking up at the gap between the four big characters of Qianming Martial Arts School, two disciples who were on duty at the door of the martial arts school today had come to greet him.
"May I ask..."
"Please inform us that we want to see your owner."
Master Xuan Ji is good at communicating with others. He takes the initiative to speak and his eyes are full of kindness.
"Our owner is quite busy lately. If you want to see him... do you have an appointment?"
"What the hell?"
When these words were spoken, everyone was a little stunned.
Elder Xi beside him spoke unhappily.
"Open your eyes. These two are the high monks of Shaolin Temple. We are the elders of Beggars' Sect. This one is the famous Senior Shan. We want to see your master now. Do you understand?"
"what?"
The two disciples were probably stunned by his words and nodded quickly.
"Okay, we'll report it right away."
"That's right, let your host come out to greet us!" Elder Xi said in an unquestionable tone.
At the same time, the others also smiled, thinking that these disciples were young, inconsiderate, and inflexible, which led to this small mistake.
But the next moment, the words of these two disciples immediately made their faces turn black.
The two of them turned around and shouted loudly.
"Go and report to the master, two Shaolin monks and two Beggars' Sect elders have come to our martial arts hall to learn martial arts!"
The voice was so loud, and it was spoken at the entrance of the martial arts hall, that the sound traveled far away along the streets of Qixia Town, and many people could hear it clearly.
This attracted people from the shops on both sides of the street to come out, their faces full of curiosity.
Inside the Tongfu Inn, Bai Zhantang, who was wiping the tables, and Guo Furong, who was sweeping the floor, heard what was happening and hurried out to watch the excitement from afar.
"What? Shaolin monks are coming to learn martial arts. Is Qianming Martial Arts School already so famous?"
"Hey, look at those two masters, their beards are all white, maybe they are really Shaolin monks."
"Those two people next to them look like the elders of the Beggars' Sect? Is Qianming Martial Arts School so powerful now? It can attract such great people to come and learn martial arts!"
"But haven't I heard that Shaolin martial arts is the best in the world? There's no need for the monks to come here to learn martial arts, right?"
"You don't understand this, right? Otherwise, why do you call him a great monk? A great monk doesn't care about these empty names. His spirit of learning until old age and asking questions without feeling ashamed is worthy of our admiration."
"That's nonsense. Why don't I look like him?"
A group of people were chattering and talking about everything under the sun.
But there are also many people who see that things are not simple and are watching from the sidelines with a mentality of watching the fun.
Looking at the two elders Xuan Nan and Xuan Ji, as well as the two elders Gong Xi, his old face instantly turned dark.
Who said I have to become an apprentice?
With this howl, the reputation of the Shaolin Beggars' Sect was half ruined, and they couldn't afford to lose this person.
Several people finally realized that these two disciples did it on purpose!
"Good boy, you dare to make fun of us!"
Elder Xi didn't say anything and slapped the two men with his palm, intending to kill them.
"Shh!"
The palm wind rushed straight into the martial arts hall's gate and enveloped the two of them.
A powerful and mysterious true energy suddenly intervened!
The two disciples relaxed all over, and Elder Xi's palm wind was directly dissipated, without even blowing up the dust on the ground.
Elder Xi was stunned. Just as he was about to watch carefully, his heart suddenly tightened.
An even more domineering aura rushed towards him and swallowed him whole in an instant!
Like a mighty force, it directly hit Elder Xi's body-protecting Qi, squeezing and deforming it, causing it to shake. Elder Xi was standing unsteadily, his feet rubbing against the ground and sliding backwards uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Gong Chang Zhang hurriedly reached out to take it.
But as soon as his palms touched Elder Xi's body, a strange force instantly sank in.
Gong Chang Zhang's face changed, and he even lost his balance and took a few steps back.
This scene was beyond everyone's expectations.
Seeing this, Master Xuannan, who was standing next to them, waved his cassock in time, and an extremely gentle aura supported the two of them.
The strange force just now finally disappeared.
call!
Elder Xi and Elder Gong breathed a sigh of relief.
Both of them are at the peak of innateness, and they boast of having a solid foundation. They have also practiced the Beggar Gang's martial arts, and they believe that they rarely meet rivals in the same realm.
But just now the car almost flipped over!
When they looked again, they saw Li Ming's figure inside the martial arts hall.
"Who is so bold as to come to my martial arts gym and act wildly?"
Li Ming asked calmly.
"Amitabha, I believe this is Master Li. We came here today to discuss something. This was just a misunderstanding..."
Master Xuan Ji came out at the right time to smooth things over.
"Misunderstand?"
Li Ming beckoned two disciples over.
At the same time, the disciples in the martial arts school had no time to practice martial arts. When they saw someone making trouble, they all gathered together, with a sense of solidarity against the enemy.
"If I hadn't intervened just now, my two disciples would have been either dead or disabled. If this can be called a misunderstanding, then please stand up and let me clap a few times, and then I will apologize and say it was a misunderstanding."
Even Master Xuan Ji, who was usually good-tempered, frowned when he heard this.
Didn't I hear that this Li Guanzhu was a very upright person? He had killed bandits and the flower-stealing thief Tian Boguang.
Why are you so unreasonable when we meet today?
"Master Li, Elder Xi was too harsh just now, but the reason for this is that your disciple was rude first."
"May I ask if you guys are here to challenge us?"
Several people looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Then, when you come to the martial arts gym, besides challenging the gymnasium, you also want to learn martial arts. Is there anything wrong with what my disciple said? It's not like you guys are here to eat, right?"
"What a sharp-tongued little bastard!"
Shan Zheng next to him couldn't help it and started cursing.
Yang Guo, who had run behind Li Ming, heard this and immediately asked, "Who are you scolding, little bastard?"
Shan Zheng didn’t even think twice: “You little bastard scolded you!”
But as soon as he said this, he realized the ambiguity and his eyes widened in anger: "How dare you make fun of me again!"
This conversation fell into the ears of the onlookers, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
After a few words, it seemed that they were going to get entangled and quarrel again.
Master Xuannan couldn't help it.
They came here to do business, not to curse each other.
Besides, they are proud of their status, and if they quarrel with such a group of little guys in the street like shrews, they will become a laughing stock if the news gets out.
Seeing more and more onlookers, Master Xuannan chanted: "Amitabha!"
With some power mixed in with a lion's roar, the voices of both sides were immediately suppressed.
"Master Li, we are here to visit you today because we have something to discuss. Why don't we talk about the business first? Then I will give you an answer to what happened just now."
After hearing Xuan Nan's words, Shan Zheng and Elder Xi also shut up, but there was hatred in their eyes.
Li Ming thought for a moment and nodded readily.
"Okay, please come in first."
As he spoke, he stepped aside and offered his hand.
The two monks finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the group filed in.
Soon, several people sat down in the martial arts hall hall, and several disciples served tea.
But the door of the martial arts hall was not closed, which attracted many curious people to gather and watch the fun.
Master Xuan Ji was not in the mood to drink tea and took the opportunity to observe Li Ming.
Even though I had heard of him before, when I met him this time, I was still amazed at Li Ming's youth.
Even he could not see through Li Ming's strength. At most, he could only feel that he was an ordinary Gang realm warrior. This made Master Xuan Ji more alert.
I organized my words and was about to ask.
Suddenly, I saw a little girl with crippled legs, who could only drag herself on the ground, walking slowly down the hall with the help of a newly made crutch.
But even though her body was crippled, the little girl smiled very brightly and seemed very satisfied with her current situation.
"Ok?"
Xuan Nan and Xuan Ji were both monks, and they couldn't help but feel sympathy when they saw such a pitiful scene.
However, Elder Xi's pupils shrank slightly when he saw this, and a hint of nervousness flashed in his eyes.
