Chapter 26 The first move of "The Great Stone-Smashing Hand" is perfected; the story of Elder Longchuan's descent from the mountain
"call!"

An hour passed.

Early in the morning, Lin Xuan finished absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, opened his eyes, and let out a long breath.

Faintly, a flash of white hair can be seen passing by.

Sensing the increasingly concentrated true Qi in his body, he smiled slightly.

Lin Xuan did not practice "The Great Stone Smasher" last night.

His first move, the monument-smashing move, was still at the minor success stage.

But it is only one step away from success!
I think I can master it today.

Since he has never competed with anyone, Lin Xuan doesn't know what level of strength he has.
But if compared with the previous Lu Yan, if he used the Great Stone Smashing Hand to meet the enemy.

Even twenty Lu Yans can be defeated!
"I'll learn from Brother Yuan Hai some other day when he's not busy."

While thinking, Lin Xuan thought of Senior Brother Yuan Hai.

He is a disciple of Elder Xuanfeng and has been a Shaolin monk for probably three to five years.

The strength is definitely not bad.

After finishing his practice of the "Dragon Elephant Subduing Demons Technique", Lin Xuan performed the Arhat Fist again in the back mountain before going down the mountain.

Breakfast is still a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge.

After breakfast, Lin Xuan did not concentrate on practicing the "Big Stele Smashing Style" as he did yesterday, but instead helped build the porridge stall like the other monks.

While chatting, I heard the senior brothers saying that Elder Longchuan led two or three monks down the mountain this morning.

It is said that they went to several villages at the foot of the mountain to hire some temporary workers.

Good at washing refugees' clothes and doing odd jobs.

Hearing this inadvertently, Lin Xuan's eyes lit up.

He remembered that Hua Xiaolan, one of the main characters, seemed to live in a village near Shaolin Temple.

"Could it be that Hua Xiaolan is going to enter the temple?"

Lin Xuan was startled.

In my mind, I can't help but think of the girl in the original novel with twin ponytails, wearing a lotus-petal short jacket, and with that charming and alluring waist.

"Junior Brother Lin, give me a hand and lift this piece of wood up."

Just as he was thinking about it, a senior brother suddenly spoke to him.

Hearing this, Lin Xuan came to his senses and hurriedly picked up a beam as thick as a bowl that was not far away.

Without much effort, he raised it above his head and handed it over.

The senior brother opposite him was left standing there in a daze, muttering:

"Junior Brother Lin, you have such great strength..."

……

……

At the foot of Shaolin Temple.

There are three larger villages within a radius of about fifty miles.

They are Tanggou Village, Qingshi Village and Lizhuang Village.

Elder Longchuan led three monks and left Shaolin Temple on horseback early in the morning. In less than an hour, they arrived at Tanggou Village.

Thanks to the thousand-year-old Shaolin temple here.

The soldiers of the Black Fox Gang did not commit atrocities in these villages, burning, killing and looting.

Compared with the outside world, Tanggou Village and several other villages are like a paradise on earth!
But the villagers of Tanggou Village, Qingshi Village and Lizhuang Village were already aware of the chaos and turmoil in the outside world.

Everyone secretly felt fortunate that they lived under the protection of the Shaolin Temple.

Otherwise, I would have to flee my hometown with my family, just like the outside world.

Therefore, when Elder Longchuan and others arrived at Tanggou Village, the villagers were very enthusiastic. They hurriedly asked everyone to dismount and asked if they wanted to come in for tea and dinner.

"Don't bother anyone."

"Is Dong Cunzheng at home?"

Elder Longchuan dismounted from his horse and saw the group of villagers gathering around him. He smiled and asked.

"Dong Cunzheng, the Shaolin monk is calling you!"

Upon hearing this, the young man turned to an old man who had come over and said.

The old man had a dark complexion and gray hair, and looked to be around fifty years old.

"It turns out that Elder Longchuan from Shaolin Temple has arrived. Come in and have a seat."

Dong Cunzheng had been to Shaolin Temple and was acquainted with Abbot Sanzang, so he had naturally met several elders in the temple.

At this moment, seeing Elder Longchuan, he hurriedly greeted him. "That's troublesome."

Elder Longchuan did not refuse and led the three monks to his home.

When Dong Cunzheng's wife saw Elder Longchuan and others coming into the house, she smiled and poured a few glasses of water over.

Just as he was about to go to the field to get some vegetables, Elder Longchuan saw this and immediately waved his hand to stop him:

"Aunt Dong, you're welcome. I have to go to Qingshi Village later. I'll just take a rest and leave."

"Old man, look..."

The woman had no idea and could only look at Dong Cunzheng.

"Since Elder Longchuan is not eating here at noon, there is no need to rush."

Dong Cunzheng said.

After saying this, he looked at Elder Longchuan and his group curiously and said:

"Elder Longchuan, did you come down the mountain today specifically to visit these villages?"

"You can rest assured about this. No bandits dare to come to our village to cause trouble."

"After all, there are many people in the village who know some martial arts. Even though I am old, I can still beat back a few robbers with a stick!"

Dong Cunzheng said this with full of energy.

Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to draft water.

In several villages such as Tanggou Village, Qingshi Village and Lizhuang Village, martial arts are popular because they are close to Shaolin Temple.

Most of the men had learned martial arts in Shaolin when they were young and knew some kung fu.

Although he is not as skilled as the Shaolin monks, he is still much more powerful than ordinary people.

When Dong Cunzheng was young, he also studied martial arts in Shaolin for several years.

He almost became a Shaolin Temple monk.

Hearing this, Elder Longchuan shook his head and stated his purpose:
"I am not here today because of this matter."

"Instead, I am following the orders of Abbot Sanzang to come and collect some unwanted clothing and bedding from your village. I also want to recruit some temporary workers to do odd jobs in Shaolin."

At the end of his speech, Elder Longchuan changed the subject and said sincerely:

"However, seeing that you are living a stable life, I and others are relieved."

Hear this.

Dong Cunzheng was stunned, and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Oh?"

"Collecting some clothes and bedding, and hiring temporary workers?"

"Elder Longchuan, this is Shaolin..."

Elder Longchuan sighed helplessly and revealed the truth:
"Alas, bandits are everywhere and the world is in chaos. Many refugees have flocked to Shaolin Temple to seek shelter. However, Shaolin Temple has limited resources, such as clothing and bedding, which cannot be supplied at all. This is the only solution."

The words fell.

Dong Cunzheng understood it all at once.

"I see……"

These days, many refugees have flocked to Shaolin.

Villagers in Tanggou Village witnessed this many times.

"Abbot Sanzang has a kind heart. He will surely be praised for doing this kind deed."

"Elder Longchuan, don't worry about this matter. I will gather all the people in the village in a while. I'm sure we can raise some clothes and bedding before sunset. As for temporary workers? There will definitely be people who can do it."

"But you don't have to pay me for my wages."

"If it weren't for the reputation of Shaolin and the fact that it is a close neighbor of Tanggou Village, we might have ended up like those refugees..."

The more Elder Longchuan listened, the more embarrassed he felt. He couldn't bear it and said:

"How does this work?"

Dong Cunzheng's face sternly said:

"Yes, yes, you Shaolin don't have to worry about these things, even if Abbot Sanzang comes forward, it's fine!"

"This……"

Elder Longchuan was embarrassed and looked at him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
