Chapter 189 Become famous all over the world
What is strange is that the gates of Shaolin Temple are closed.

"I'll knock on the door!"

Duan Yu volunteered to go and knock on the door. After a few knocks, the gate of Shaolin Temple opened and two young monks in gray robes walked out to greet guests.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, our Shaolin Temple is closed to visitors during this period."

After the two welcoming monks came out, they saw Chu Yuan and the others and said.

"Excuse me, is the Beggars' Sect leader Qiao Feng in the Shaolin Temple?"

Duan Yu asked the monk who was welcoming the guests.

"May I ask who you are, sir?"

After hearing Duan Yu mention the Beggars' Sect, one of the monks asked.

"I am Duan Yu, the son of the King of Zhennan of the Duan family of Dali. This is my second brother, Chu Yuan, who is also the Green Lotus Emissary of the Beggars' Sect. As for the remaining three girls, they are Ah Zhu and Ah Bi, the maids of Mr. Murong of the Murong family, and my cousin Miss Wang."

Duan Yu said to the monk who was welcoming the guests.

"It turns out that this young hero is Chu Yuan, the Green Lotus Envoy of the Beggars' Sect who has become famous in the martial arts world of Song Dynasty in recent times. The others are from the Duan family of Dali and the Murong family of Jiangnan."

Upon hearing this, the welcoming monk cast his eyes on Chu Yuan. In addition to being respectful, his attitude became visibly enthusiastic.

As the matter fermented over a month, what happened in the apricot forest had spread throughout the entire Song Dynasty martial arts world.

Chu Yuan was only a young man, but he was not only skilled in martial arts, but also brave and resourceful. Not only did he single-handedly thwart the internal rebellion of the Beggar Gang started by a poisonous woman named "Kang Min", he also took action when all the members of the Beggar Gang were poisoned by the poisonous gas "Bei Su Qing Feng" of Xixia Yipintang, killed more than a hundred warriors of Xixia Yipintang, forced back the four evil men, and saved the Beggar Gang from danger.

Now, the name of Chu Yuan Qinglian Envoy has spread almost throughout the entire Song Dynasty martial arts world.

People in the martial arts world say that the Beggars' Sect is blessed by heaven. First, it produced a heroic leader, Qiao Feng, and then a Green Lotus Messenger, Chu Yuan. The prosperity of the Beggars' Sect in the future is just around the corner.

As for Qiao Feng's Khitan identity...

Some people say that Qiao Feng is a Khitan and is not worthy of being the leader of the Beggars' Sect.

But some people also say that based on what Qiao Feng did before in leading the Beggars' Sect and defending his country, he did better than most people in the Song Dynasty.

The two sides argued endlessly and no conclusion was reached.

In addition, the entire Beggars' Sect supported Qiao Feng, so the public opinion in the martial arts world was not one-sided in a direction that was unfavorable to Qiao Feng.

"Boss Qiao and Master Murong are both in our Shaolin Temple. Please come in and have a chat."

The other monk who came to greet guests looked at Wang Yuyan, A'zhu and A'bie carefully, and a hint of joy flashed across his brows.

As he spoke, he winked at the welcoming monk who had just spoken, and after the monk nodded, he turned around and returned to the Shaolin Temple.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Ah Zhu was very smart and immediately said decisively: "My sisters and Miss Wang have some things to do, so we will take our leave first."

As she spoke, she pulled Wang Yuyan and A-Bi and immediately went down the mountain.

Duan Yu couldn't bear to leave Wang Yuyan, and wanted to find out why Ah Zhu suddenly decided to leave, so he immediately chased after her, but soon disappeared on the mountain steps.

Only Chu Yuan stayed to see what was going on.

"Please stay, distinguished guest."

Seeing that Ah Zhu and the others were about to leave, the welcoming monk tried to persuade them to stay, but it was of no use.

"Young Master Chu, the Beggars' Sect and my Shaolin Temple are both famous and powerful sects. We are on good terms with each other. Now that Master Xuanbei has died inexplicably, please stop them!"

Seeing that he could not keep them, the welcoming monk turned his gaze to Chu Yuan and asked for help.

Chu Yuan was a little hesitant. After all, he had just read the martial arts secrets in the Wang family's Langhuan Jade Cave, and he came to Shaolin Temple with Azhu, Abi, Wang Yuyan and others.

While Chu Yuan was hesitating, Ah Zhu, Ah Bi, Wang Yuyan and the others had already left.

Not long after Wang Yuyan and the others left, the gate of Shaolin Temple opened wide, and nearly thirty young monks holding wooden sticks, with scars on their heads and slightly bulging temples walked out.

"Where are they? Where are Murong Fu's maid and cousin?"

The leading middle-aged monk said menacingly.

"Brother, they have already left. They realized something was wrong and immediately went down the mountain."

The welcoming monk said helplessly.

"They left quickly and killed our people from Shaolin Temple. Murong Fu is hiding. We caught his maid and cousin. I don't believe he won't show up."

The middle-aged monk said angrily.

"No, I have to lead people to chase them and see if I can capture them. Once they are captured, I can force Murong Fu to show up."

After saying that, the middle-aged monk, along with thirty young monks, hurriedly chased down the mountain.

During the whole process, the middle-aged monk did not even look at Chu Yuan.

"What happened? Why did Shaolin Temple want to capture Murong Fu's maid and cousin?"

Chu Yuan was confused when he saw this scene.

"Young Master Chu, you don't know that our Shaolin Temple's Uncle Xuanbei was killed by his best skill, the 'Vedo Pestle'. Only the Murong family's 'Dou Zhuan Xing Yi' can do this. Twenty days ago, Murong Fu came to Shaolin Temple, looking like he was wronged, and said he wanted to check Uncle Xuanbei's body."

"In order to find the murderer of Master Xuanbei, we in Shaolin Temple followed his instructions and even opened Master Xuanbei's coffin. But after checking Master Xuanbei's body, Murong Fu shouted "impossible" several times, then used his Qinggong to escape and hid himself, never to be seen again."

"The cause of death of Shaolin Master Xuanbei is still unknown, but Murong Fu never shows up again. Does that mean Master Xuanbei will die in vain?"

The welcoming monk said to Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan suddenly understood the cause and effect of the matter.

From this point of view, Ah Zhu, Ah Bi, Wang Yuyan and others who had just come with him were all used as bargaining chips by Shaolin Temple to force Murong Fu to show up.

Ah Zhu was smart enough. Seeing that the situation was not right, she immediately took Ah Bi and Wang Yuyan and ran away.

As for why Murong Fu ran away screaming "Impossible"...

It was probably Murong Fu who indeed discovered that Xuan Bei died in Murong family's "The Change of Stars".

He probably had already guessed that his father Murong Bo might not be dead, but he just found it difficult to accept it for a while.

But these things have nothing to do with Chu Yuan.

"May I ask where my elder brother Qiao Feng is?"

Chu Yuan asked the welcoming monk.

Qiao Feng is a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple, or strictly speaking, a disciple of Shaolin Temple.

Just now when Duan Yu said his name was Chu Yuan, the other party behaved very respectfully and enthusiastically, which was obviously different from the way he treated Azhu, Abi and others.

From this point of view, Qiao Feng should not have any enmity with Shaolin Temple!
In other words, Qiao Feng's master Xuan Ku's death did not happen...

Or it happened, and it wasn't mistakenly attributed to Qiao Feng...

"Boss Qiao is currently in Shaolin Temple. Not only that, even Boss Qiao's parents are temporarily staying in Shaolin Temple. If Young Master Chu wants to see Boss Qiao, I will take you to see him right now!"

Welcoming monks and Taoists.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master."

Chu Yuan said to the monk who welcomed the guests.

"No trouble."

This is the welcoming monk.

As he said that, he took Chu Yuan into the Shaolin Temple and walked towards the backyard of the Shaolin Temple.

Chu Yuan was not afraid and followed the welcoming monk.

Now with his martial arts skills, except for a sweeping monk and Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo hiding in the Shaolin Temple who pose a threat to him, he does not take anyone else seriously.

By the way, this was not his first time to visit Shaolin Temple.

However, the last time he came to Shaolin Temple was in the Ming Dynasty several hundred years later.

Although it is not known whether his two lives were in the same world, there is no obvious difference between the Shaolin Temple in the Song Dynasty and the Shaolin Temple in the Ming Dynasty.

There are only slight differences in the palace buildings and layout.

Under the guidance of the welcoming monk, Chu Yuan quickly followed him to the gate of a small courtyard in the backyard of Shaolin Temple.

After the welcoming monk pushed the door open and walked in, Chu Yuan followed him in, only to see Qiao Feng holding an axe, saw, chisel and other tools, repairing a wooden stool with a broken leg.

"Brother Qiao!"

Chu Yuan called out, Qiao Feng looked up, and when he saw it was Chu Yuan, his face lit up and he said:

"Second brother, why are you here!"

The welcoming monk said, "Boss Qiao, Young Master Chu, you two can chat. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Qiao Feng put down the work in his hands and escorted the welcoming monk out of the courtyard.

Qiao Feng turned to Chu Yuan and said, "Second brother, I have to thank you. Fortunately, you reminded me in time, so I didn't make a big mistake!"

Chu Yuan asked: "What do you mean?"

"After I listened to you and realized that this matter was not simple and there was someone behind the scenes, I rode back to Shaoshi Mountain from Xingzilin at full speed. I rode seven horses to death on the way. I spent a day and a half without sleep and finally rushed back to Shaoshi Mountain from Jiangnan. Nothing happened after I got home. I thought you were worrying too much, but who knew that only two days later, a man in black attacked my parents at night. I immediately took action, repelled the man in black, and saved my parents' lives from them."

Qiao Feng explained to Chu Yuan.

"Brother Qiao, have you ever seen the true face of the man in black?"

Chu Yuan asked Qiao Feng.

If things go as expected, the man in black is Qiao Feng's biological father Xiao Yuanshan.

"That's not the case. However, that man in black is a very skilled martial artist. Even I am not his match. If he hadn't revealed his whereabouts and didn't want to fight me for a long time, and hadn't retreated on his own initiative, I really wouldn't have been sure I could have saved my parents." Qiao Feng said with a look of fear.

"Feng'er, who's here?"

Just then, there was a noise outside the house, and an old man in his fifties, with a weather-beaten face, wearing cloth clothes and cloth shoes, and an old woman with straw clothes and cloth hairpins and gray hair, walked out of the main house together.

"Dad, Mom, this is my brother Chu Yuan."

Qiao Feng saw the old man and old woman and introduced them to them.

"uncle and auntie."

Chu Yuan called the old man and the old woman.

He knew that the two people in front of him were Qiao Feng's adoptive parents, Qiao Sanhuai and his wife.

"I've heard Feng'er talk about you a long time ago."

Mother Qiao smiled.

"You guys chat."

Qiao Sanhuai said.

After saying this, the couple went back into the house.

"Brother Qiao, I haven't asked you yet, why did you and your uncle and aunt move into the Shaolin Temple?"

After the couple entered the house, Chu Yuan asked Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng leaned over and continued to use the saw, chisel, and axe to repair the broken wooden bench on the ground, while saying to Chu Yuan:
"After rescuing my parents, I felt that it was not safe for them to continue living at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain, and the Shaolin Temple was heavily guarded. I told my master, Master Xuanku, about this, and after he agreed, I brought my parents to live in the Shaolin Temple!"

Qiao Feng continued, "Also, my master Xuan Ku was also attacked by a man in black half a month ago. Fortunately, I told my master what happened in the apricot forest and warned him. So my master called for help in time and summoned the monks in the temple to protect him. He repelled the man in black, so my master was only slightly injured. According to what my master said, the man in black disguised himself as me and attacked him late at night, but fortunately he discovered us."

Chu Yuan thought to himself that the reason why Xiao Yuanshan wanted to kill Qiao Sanhuai and his wife and Xuan Ku was that he wanted to sever Qiao Feng's ties with the Southern Song Dynasty so that Qiao Feng could return to Khitan and the Liao Dynasty.

However, his reminder ruined Xiao Yuanshan's plan.

"Did the man in black continue to attack?"

Chu Yuan asked Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng shook his head: "No, ever since the black-clothed man took action, Shaolin Temple has strengthened the protection of my master Xuan Ku, as well as my parents. In addition, with me personally guarding the place, they have also increased their vigilance, so the black-clothed man has never appeared again."

Chu Yuan speculated that the reason why Xiao Yuanshan did not continue was because he felt that his identity would be exposed if he continued, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Brother Qiao, what is the attitude of the abbot of Shaolin Temple towards you and your uncle and aunt temporarily residing in Shaolin Temple?"

Chu Yuan asked again.

Speaking of which, Qiao Feng probably could never have imagined in his dreams that the leader who led a group of Central Plains martial arts masters out of Yanmen Pass to the west and killed his biological mother was the current abbot of Shaolin Temple, Xuanci.

Not only that, Qiao Feng's biological father, the black-clad man Xiao Yuanshan who successively attacked and killed his adoptive parents and master, and the mastermind Murong Bo, were all in Shaolin Temple at this time.

Chu Yuan didn't believe that Xuan Ci, the abbot of Shaolin Temple and the leader, would remain indifferent after learning that Qiao Feng knew about his life experience and that the Beggar Gang had captured Master Zhiguang, Zhao Qiansun, and Mr. Tan and Mrs. Tan.

After knocking on it for a while, Qiao Feng turned the stool with the legs fixed over, then squatted on it and tried to sit on it for a while and said:

"Abbot Xuanci came to me and after learning what happened in the apricot forest, he asked me to release Mr. Tan, Mrs. Tan, Zhao Qiansun, and Master Zhiguang, saying that they are all martial arts masters in the world. If they are detained, it will be bad for the reputation of me and the Beggars' Sect."

Chu Yuan asked curiously, "Brother Qiao, how did you answer Abbot Xuanci?"

It is estimated that Xuanci, the abbot of Shaolin, was also very worried at this time.

Because once Mr. Tan, Mr. Tan, Zhao Qiansun, and Master Zhiguang confessed, his status as the leader would be exposed, and his reputation would be ruined.

Qiao Feng said, "I didn't agree. This matter concerns my life experience. I will get to the bottom of it no matter what. Abbot Xuanci had no choice but to leave."

Chu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Brother Qiao, do you want to find out the truth about your life experience?"

Qiao Feng nodded and said, "Of course."

Chu Yuan said: "I have a way. As long as we find the black-clothed man who did the killing, all the truth will be revealed."

Qiao Feng asked curiously, "What method?"

Chu Yuan said, "The reason why the man in black didn't attack again after the last time is because he knew you were staying by my uncle and aunt's side. Why don't you pretend to leave Shaolin Temple with a big fanfare, and then return quietly. Maybe you can lure the snake out of its hole and lure the man in black out again. Then you and I can work together to capture the man in black, and then everything will be clear."

After hearing this, Qiao Feng thought about it and felt that this method was feasible. He said happily, "This is indeed a method. If you and I join forces, even if the black-clothed man's martial arts is one level higher than ours, we can still capture him."

Chu Yuan said: "I have just arrived at Shaolin Temple not long ago, and the man in black doesn't know me yet. Once he finds out that you, Brother Qiao, have left, he will definitely try again."

Qiao Feng said, "That's true. Besides, my parents are ordinary people. They don't know martial arts. If the man in black takes action, he will most likely succeed."

As he spoke, Qiao Feng made up his mind and looked at Chu Yuan: "In that case, second brother, I will entrust my parents to you."

Chu Yuan nodded and said, "Brother Qiao, don't worry, I will definitely protect the safety of the two elders."

Qiao Feng looked outside the courtyard: "This time I must see who is the person behind the misfortune in my life!"

Chu Yuan said in his heart: "You guessed wrong. The one who wanted to kill your adoptive parents and master was only your biological father, not the person behind the scenes. There must be someone else behind the scenes."

An hour later, a disciple of the Beggar Gang came to Shaolin Temple on a fast horse and knocked on the gate of Shaolin Temple in full view of everyone.

While running into the Shaolin Temple, he shouted: "There is urgent military information in the gang, Xixia is making unusual movements, please come back to the gang and take charge of the situation!"

After the Beggar Gang disciples were let into the Shaolin Temple, they shouted all the way, attracting the attention of many Shaolin monks, and came to the backyard where Qiao Feng and Qiao Sanhuai's parents lived!
Qiao Feng opened the door and hesitated for a long time before resolutely leaving Shaolin Temple.

Under the watchful eyes of the Shaolin monks, he left the Shaolin Temple together with the Beggar Gang disciple who had delivered the message.

Almost everyone in Shaolin Temple knew the news that Qiao Feng had left Shaolin Temple.

After Qiao Feng "left", Chu Yuan moved into the small courtyard where Qiao Sanhuai and his wife lived, and no longer showed up. He meditated and practiced martial arts in the room, secretly waiting for Xiao Yuanshan to take the bait.

Chu Yuan didn't believe that the other party would let such a good opportunity go by without taking the bait.

……

Shaolin Temple.

Sutra Pavilion.

A three-story attic with flying eaves and gables on all four sides, located between the front and back yards of Shaolin Temple, contains 5,000 volumes of Buddhist scriptures and more than 3,000 volumes of various boxing classics and martial arts secrets.

The Shaolin Temple's Sutra Library is not only world-famous, but also a place frequented by monks in the Shaolin Temple.

Whether it is the monks who study Buddhist scriptures in the temple or the monks who practice martial arts, they usually come to the Sutra Library.

However, if the monks want to enter and exit the Sutra Repository, they need to get a token from their respective masters.

"The leader of the Beggars' Sect, Qiao Feng, has left Shaolin!"

"Didn't they say someone was against his parents? So they don't care about his parents anymore?"

On the second floor of the Sutra Library, two middle-aged monks who knew each other were talking to each other while holding a borrowed boxing manual in their hands.

"If you ask me, Qiao Feng is a Khitan, not of our race, so his heart must be different. It is better for us in Shaolin to keep a distance from him."

"He is the leader of the Beggars' Sect, and also a lay disciple of Shaolin. It is precisely because of this that the Beggars' Sect and Shaolin have good relations!"

"What's wrong with being friends? How can a Khitan be the leader of the Beggars' Sect?"

"But the Beggars' Sect is indeed the most powerful under Qiao Feng, and is known as the world's largest gang!"

Just then, a sweeping monk with a white beard and a bamboo broom in his hand walked past the two monks.

When the two monks came downstairs with the boxing scriptures, the sweeping monk stopped and looked at a certain spot on the beam of the Sutra Library.

"The injustice is hard to erase!"

The sweeping monk sighed and continued sweeping the floor.

But there was nothing on the ground.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was midnight.

Chu Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged in the room next to Qiao Sanhuai and his wife, meditating and practicing martial arts, suddenly felt his ears move. He opened his eyes in the darkness, two rays of light flashed, and he looked outside the room.

"It's really here."

Chu Yuan's heart moved.

With his current martial arts skills, any movement within a hundred feet around him can be detected by him.

Just now, a very weak, almost imperceptible breath broke into the range of a hundred feet around his body and rapidly approached the courtyard.

Although there was a group of Shaolin monks guarding the courtyard, this faint aura did not alarm anyone!

If Chu Yuan's martial arts and internal strength had not reached an extremely high level, Chu Yuan might not have been able to discover the other party.

"It must be Xiao Yuanshan without a doubt."

Chu Yuan thought secretly.

Although Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo were both hiding in Shaolin Temple.

But Murong Bo's attention at this time should be on Murong Fu, not on Qiao Sanhuai and his wife.

He paid attention to the breath that was so faint that it was almost unnoticeable and was approaching the yard.

Finally, a black shadow fell into the courtyard like a ghost in the darkness.

The black shadow stood in the yard for a while, then went straight to the main house where Qiao Sanhuai and his wife lived.

　ps: The previous part was written wrong. It was Xuan Bei, not Xuan Ku. Xuan Ku was something that happened later. It has been modified.
