Chapter 53 Lin Xuan’s confession; the Black Fox King suddenly appears!
Under the dim night, Abbot Sanzang, wearing a cassock, led Tang Xiaolong and Chen Xiaohu to the Sutra Library.

As soon as he came in, the elder guarding the pavilion greeted him.

Abbot Sanzang smiled and said to him:
"Tonight I brought Xiaolong and Xiaohu here to select a few Shaolin skills for them."

"Meet the elder guarding the pavilion."

at the same time.

Xiaolong and Xiaohu bowed to the elder guarding the pavilion.

"Children, you are so polite."

The elder guarding the pavilion praised him and watched the three of them go upstairs.

As soon as Abbot Sanzang and others reached the stairs, Lin Xuan came over to greet them:
"I've met the master."

"Ah."

Abbot Sanzang nodded in agreement.

Seeing the subtle Zen charm on Lin Xuan, his eyes lit up slightly.

Judging from the posture, this disciple of his has already achieved some success in the Bodhi posture of "Nine Diagrams and Six Seated Statues".

But when he thought of that incident, Abbot Sanzang felt that Lin Xuan seemed to be hiding some secret from him.

It turned out that Lin Xuan's seemingly unintentional search for something in the Sutra Repository these days had already attracted the attention of the elders guarding the pavilion.

For this reason, as early as last night, the elder guarding the pavilion went to the abbot's residence and explained the matter to Abbot Sanzang.

They all know what the most valuable item in the Sutra Library is!
It was hard not to arouse their suspicion as Lin Xuan searched like this.

Think of this.

Abbot Sanzang felt that he needed to have a good talk with Lin Xuan.

"Xiaolong, Xiaohu, go and choose yourselves first, and your master will be here soon."

Looking at Xiaolong and Xiaohu beside him, Abbot Sanzang said.

After the two arrived at the Sutra Repository, they were already impatient.

Upon hearing this, they immediately dispersed and started browsing through the rows of bookshelves.

Before Tang Xiaolong came to Shaolin Temple, his father gave him the Tang family's ancestral sword, the Wulu Sword.

In his opinion, he should choose swordsmanship first.

In this way, the sword will not be buried.

Chen Xiaohu is interested in stick fighting.

When I arrived at the Sutra Repository, I began to choose the stick techniques.

……

"Lin Xuan, come with me."

Abbot Sanzang glanced at Lin Xuan, was silent for a moment, and then led him to a room on the second floor.

Seeing that Abbot Sanzang seemed to want to talk to him alone, Lin Xuan was slightly stunned.

After thinking about it, he understood.

I always stay in the Sutra Library these few nights.

He said he was looking for Buddhist scriptures to study, but in fact, the elders guarding the pavilion probably knew what he had read and translated.

For the elder who guards the pavilion and is directly ordered by Abbot Sanzang, he doesn’t care what his identity is.
This abnormality must be reported to the abbot.

He hurried after him, already thinking about how to confront his master.

……

……

Arriving in the house, Abbot Sanzang looked at the young man with a sparse face in front of him, sighed softly, and asked directly:
"Xiao Xuan, what are you looking for in the Sutra Library these past few nights?"

"Disciple dare not hide the truth from Master. I am looking for the Book of Power."

Lin Xuan looked directly at Abbot Sanzang and blurted out.

The words fell.

The atmosphere on the field suddenly froze.

The usual amiable and approachable look on Abbot Sanzang's face was gone, replaced by a rare solemnity and majesty.

"What are you looking for the Book of Power for?"

Abbot Sanzang was well aware of the importance of the Book of Power. He paused and spoke in a deep voice.

"Because I guess the Black Fox King might want to take this thing away!"

Lin Xuan's face was calm as he answered word by word. Abbot Sanzang's expression changed and he looked at Lin Xuan in surprise:

"Black Fox King?"

"You actually know the Black Fox King?"

In an instant, Abbot Sanzang had to re-examine the child.

His face was full of confusion and surprise.

At the same time, he was also wondering what Lin Xuan's identity was.
He is just a farmer's son.

How do you know this?

Could it be that Elder Xuanfeng didn’t investigate Lin Xuan’s identity clearly that day?
Seeing that Abbot Sanzang was suspicious, Lin Xuan organized his words and explained from beginning to end:

"Master, I came to Shaolin not long ago. I read in an ancient book in the Sutra Library that a thousand years ago, a demon named Black Fox King appeared in the Central Plains. He harmed the world and brought chaos to the Central Plains. In the end, it was the three great monks of Shaolin who joined forces to defeat him and sealed him in a Buddhist bell."

"And I have previously told Master that the reason I came to Shaolin to learn martial arts was because my hometown was once invaded by the Black Fox Soldiers."

"Some time ago, the Central Plains was plagued by banditry one after another, probably because of the Black Fox soldiers."

"At that time, I was wondering where this group of Black Fox soldiers came from. Why did they suddenly appear and have the ability to wreak havoc on the world? It was not until I connected them with the Black Fox King that I suddenly realized that the Black Fox King might have escaped, and the Black Fox Gang was organized by this devil..."

"But now, without the three great monks of Shaolin, how can we defeat the Black Fox King?"

"With no other choice, I continued to look through the strange books in the Sutra Library. Unexpectedly, I came across a book of strange books that explained the Book of Power..."

"In the Strange Records, it is said that the Book of Power was written by a wise man. The first volume records strange stories and events in the world, as well as the secrets of the universe and the way to govern. Although I don't know what the second volume is about, I can vaguely guess what it is about."

After listening to Lin Xuan say so much in one breath, Abbot Sanzang really couldn't find any flaws for a while.

He knew very well that young children liked to read strange and bizarre books.

But Lin Xuan was able to unravel and analyze all this, which took Abbot Sanzang by surprise!

Is he too curious or too smart?

Abbot Sanzang was unable to comment.

But the last sentence made Abbot Sanzang grasp the key point, and he asked:

"Even so, how did you know that Shaolin had the Book of Power?"

"I didn't know, but the Sutra Library told me."

Lin Xuan shook his head and smiled brightly.

If Shaolin did not have the Book of Power, how could there be such a detailed record of this item in Strange Stories?
Especially the upper scroll!
Hearing this, Abbot Sanzang suddenly felt relieved and was a little amused:

"Master understands..."

"Then how do you think the Black Fox King will snatch the Book of Power?"

"disciple……"

……

……

While Lin Xuan was talking with Abbot Sanzang.

After choosing for a while, Tang Xiaolong and Chen Xiaohu came together and chatted:

"Xiaolong, have you made your choice?"

"I've chosen. This book, 'Dharma Sword Technique', is very suitable for me, as is the book 'Dragon Spin Palm'."

"What about you, Tiger?"

"I chose 'Arhat Staff Technique' and 'Shaolin Wind and Cloud Hands'."

"Shaolin Fengyun Hands, this one doesn't sound good, why not try Bright Fist instead?"

"Xiaolong, Senior Brother said that Luohan Fist and Vajra Palm are the martial arts that Shaolin lay disciples must learn."

"Why would I choose it when I already have boxing skills?"

"..."

at the same time.

Outside the gate of Shaolin Temple.

At some point, a black shadow as thin as satin and as fast as a silk thread quietly slipped into Shaolin in the dark night.
