Sleeping Arhat

Chapter 227 Maitreya Temple
Wu Xian and Zhao Min came to the street again, only to see a crowd of people on the street, and the group of beggars all went north, Wu Xian and Zhao Min thought that the opportunity had come, they hurriedly mixed in the crowd, and walked north together.

All the beggars, a group of hundreds of people, all headed north. On the road along the way, from time to time, some beggars were ordered by the elders and others to place traps behind trees, in the grass, among the mountains, and on the edge of stones, and ran four or five times. Li Lu, but see three steps and one post, five steps and one card, the posts are getting denser and denser.

Although these people's martial arts are not high, it is not easy to avoid their eyes under the broad daylight. Wu Xian thought to himself, what is the big deal for the beggar gang to engage in such a big battle, he couldn't understand for a while.

The crowd walked a few miles along the mountain road. Wu Xian saw a mountain road leading to a large temple on the mountainside. He has been in the Beggar Gang for so many years, and he knows some habits of the Beggar Gang. He knew that the beggars must gather in the temple. He and Zhao Min mixed in the crowd in a low-key way, and walked slowly to the temple not far away.

When he got closer, Wu Xian looked up and saw the four big characters "Maitreya Buddha Temple" written on a plaque in front of the temple. The temple is solemn and majestic.I also saw an ancient pine on the left and an old cypress on the right in the front courtyard of the main hall. The two trees are vigorous and upright, much higher than the top of the hall, with dense branches and leaves.

But at this time, everyone sat down quietly, the underground hall was filled with beggar gang members, at least three hundred or so people, and these people sat facing inward, competing with the chaotic grabbing food in the restaurant. The scene of the meal was completely different, at this time everyone was quiet and didn't say a word, it was because the Beggar Clan enforced the law very strictly, so no one dared to make any noise in such a formal occasion.

Wu Xian and Zhao Min looked up and saw a Maitreya Buddha sitting in the middle of the main hall. The Buddha showed a big belly on his chest, and he smiled wide, kindly.And under the steps of Maitreya Buddha, there are five futons, waiting for someone to come.

Wu Xian thought about it carefully, it turned out that a few years ago, when the beggar gang had a grand banquet, they would put five futons and five top chairs, and one room was vacant, which really expressed the respect and love of the leader of the Shi gang. This year is different from previous years. The real Gang Leader Shi was killed by Cheng Kun in Lianhua Villa. Now if that fake Shi Huolong appears, I must expose his false face, lest he will dominate the beggar gang again.

Suddenly, a person in the hall shouted: "Here comes the head of the palm-bowl leader!" The group of beggars stood up together to welcome Weng Jin, the head of the palm-bowl leader, who slowly entered from the back of the hall and stood on the far right.

Another person yelled: "The head of the palm stick is here!" Wu Xian was shocked, and saw Li Subo holding an iron stick high in both hands, striding out, standing on the left.

"The law enforcement elder is here!" This time, an old beggar with white beard and white hair came out, his hands were empty, his body and footwork showed that he was very strong in martial arts.

"The elder Chuan Gong is here!" A thin old beggar came out, holding a piece of broken bamboo in his hand, his feet were light, and there was no dust when he walked.

The four old beggars moved the four futons down, leaving only the middle futon, bowed their waists, and said in unison: "Please help me!" Wu Xian was terrified: the fake Shi Huolong was about to appear, I don't know what mess he's going to make again.

The group of beggars in the main hall bowed together, after a while, there was a sound of footsteps from the back of the hall, and a big man strode out.This person is more than six feet tall, very burly, with a red face, and looks like a high-ranking official. He walked to the center of the hall and stood with his hands on his hips.The group of beggars said in unison: "My disciples, please refer to the leader of the sect."

Shi Huolong, the leader of the beggar gang, waved his right hand and said, "That's all! How are you guys?" The group of beggars said, "The leader is well."

After Shi Huolong sat down on the futon in the middle, everyone sat down separately.Shi Huolong turned to Zhang Bolongtou and said, "Brother Weng, tell everyone about the Golden Retriever Lion King and the Dragon Slaying Knife."

Zhang Bolongtou stood up, bowed to the leader, turned around and said: "Brothers from all families: The Devil's Cult has been fighting with our gang for 60 years, and the grievances are deep. In recent years, the Devil's Cult has established a new leader named Zhang Wuji. I helped someone to participate in the siege of Guangmingding, and I saw that this person was an ignorant young man. Forgive me for such a young boy with unfading yellow hair, what great things have he accomplished? How can he compete with the majesty and greatness of the leader of this gang? "The group of beggars cheered thunderously and applauded together, Shi Huolong's face showed a smug expression.

The leader of the palm bowl said again: "After the Devil Sect established a new devil leader, the situation of fragmentation and cannibalism suddenly changed, and it became a serious problem for the gang. In the past year, the devil leaders of the Devil Sect have risen in various places. In the Huaisi area, there were Han Shantong and Zhu Yuanzhang, and Xu Shouhui and others in the Lianghu area. They defeated the Yuan soldiers in a row and occupied a lot of places. If it really becomes a big event for them to drive out the Tartars and take over the world, at that time, the hundreds of thousands of brothers in our gang will all die without a place to bury them."

The group of beggars yelled angrily: "We must not let them succeed!" "The beggar gang swears to fight the demon sect to the end!" "If the demon sect takes over the world, will our brothers survive?" Yes, but we must not let the leader of the Demon Cult sit in the Dragon Court!"

Zhangbolong raised his hand again, and shook his fingers, signaling for everyone to be quiet. When the group of beggars were quiet for a while, his face suddenly became serious, his face was so dark and gloomy that it could drip water, and he said in a deep voice: "There is one more thing, a few months later. Earlier, four members of our beggar gang, Elder Chen, Elder Ji, Elder Cao, and Elder Zheng, had heard about Xie Xun. They wanted to capture Xie Xun for meritorious service in the sect, but they were stopped by Wu Xian, the traitor of the sect, and the demons. , Elder Chen and Elder Cao died unfortunately, let Elder Zheng and Elder Ji discuss this matter in detail."

Li Subo's face changed, and he looked at Zhangbo Dragon's head with some unkindness in his eyes, he was cutting off his own wings!This kid Wu Xian has caused a lot of trouble, but this time he broke the sky, and he can't save him.

As for Meng Yi, who was sitting in front of all the beggars, he was also shocked, a little unbelievable, how could Brother Wu be such a person?
Elder Zheng and Elder Ji stood out from the crowd. They had recovered from the injuries they suffered that day. At this time, their backs were straight and their bodies were strong. Seeing them, Wu Xian wondered, how did they escape from Persian Mingjiao?Zhao Min also grinned, and took Wu Xian's hand with her slender hands. When Wu Xian looked at Zhao Min's profile in surprise, she pouted and nodded to Zheng and Ji.

Li Subo took a step forward, looked at Zheng and Ji, and asked in a bad tone: "In the martial arts world, you really do everything you can to find the golden-haired lion king. You have never known his whereabouts for 20 years, but how did you two suddenly find out? The old man wants to ask for advice."

I only heard Elder Zheng say: "Tai Lai's leader Hong Fu, the chance is very coincidental. There is a golden flower mother in the East China Sea. Somehow, she found out where Xie Xun is. This old woman grew up in the sea and is proficient in sailing. She went to find Xie Xun's residence. I want to take him to Spirit Snake Island."

"There are two fathers and daughters imprisoned on Lingsnake Island, named Wu Lie and Wu Qingying. They are descendants of the Dali Duan family's school of martial arts. His father and daughter went to the Central Plains in Jinhua Granny, killed the guards, and escaped. After coming out, he was in danger in Shandong, fortunately he was rescued by Elder Chen, talking about various antecedents, Elder Chen only knew the whereabouts of the golden lion king."
