Chapter 196: Great Hall
As a thousand-year-old temple, Shaolin does have its own reputation.

He has always been the leading figure in the martial arts world.

The 72 Shaolin unique skills and Yi Jin Jing are well-known.

During the Tianlong period, the 72 Shaolin unique skills alone were enough to cause a lot of bloody storms and involve a lot of grievances and love and hatred.

It was just because too many incidents had occurred among monks of the Xuan generation, and the scandal of the former abbot Xuanci was involved, he suffered a huge blow and began to retreat into seclusion to cultivate himself.

After several generations, his reputation in the world gradually weakened.

In addition to its influence in the martial arts world, as a thousand-year-old temple, Shaolin has always had an endless stream of worshippers. In addition to lending money and merging land, the entire Shaoshi Mountain and even the outer areas have a large amount of Shaolin land.

The temple also has enough warrior monks.

Whether it was the Jin court or the grasslands going south, the main approach was to appease local wealthy families like Shaolin, which had hidden martial monks and had land and grain.

The power of the government is far less effective than that of Shaolin Temple in its territory.

Most of the farmers here are also tenants of Shaolin Temple.

When necessary, not only the monks, but also the tenants can take up weapons to show their strength.

Shaolin itself is also aware of the current situation. For example, when Huodu came to the temple, Shaolin opened its doors to facilitate the people who were destined to be saved and sent 5,000 stones of grain...

"Those Tartars fled back from the north of the Yellow River in a panic. They didn't have time to take much baggage with them. They were in urgent need of food and fodder. When they arrived in the Central Plains, they started burning, killing and looting. They were even more despicable than the Jin people."

Wu Se indeed still had a strong air of a gangster. When he was going up the mountain, he kept telling Tao Yu about the situation in the vicinity.

Although the Jin Dynasty also started out as a nomadic people, after they entered the Central Plains and were dazzled by the glamorous world, they actually began to completely sinicize.

Some bad habits from the nomadic period have been reduced a lot, but they have also caused a sharp drop in combat effectiveness.

Today, the Grassroots Principle is at its peak, and because of the sparse population, they have adopted a "fixed-price contract" model, whereby the big households in each place only have to hand over a certain amount of goods on a regular basis, and they themselves are unable to change their bad habits of burning, killing and looting.

Simple and rude!
They didn't bring any baggage this time, which was normal for them. Fighting to support the war has always been their characteristic.

So after they were forced over by the giants, the situation in the Central Plains became even worse.

"So, in order to avoid trouble, Shaolin Temple decided to save those who are destined to be saved?"

"That's right..."

Wu Se couldn't help but sigh, causing Tao Yu to nod.

It is actually a good thing to know the current situation. Since you think the grassland Tartars are troublesome, you know how to be afraid of them.

Am I not a problem?
……

Shaolin has a very special status. It is a martial arts sect, a Buddhist holy land, and a local tycoon. You cannot avoid them when doing business here.

However, since Tao Yu came to pay a visit as a disciple of the East Evil, Shaolin would naturally receive him with the same standards as fellow martial artists.

But when they arrived at the mountain gate, a monk came down and blocked their way.

"Dear donors, Shaolin is a secluded place, and weapons are not allowed inside. Please leave your weapons here and return them when you leave the mountain."

Tao Yu nodded when he heard this, and just asked back

"Then Huodu also stored it when he came up?"

This made the monk in charge of reception stiffen his expression, and then he quickly explained:

"Prince Huodu only brought a folding fan, and no weapons at all."

"Then you still brought it."

Tao Yu curled his lips, not wanting to show off in front of the little minions, and turned to Cheng Lixue and said
"You take them here and wait. I'll go around by myself."

Tao Yu's words made Cheng Lixue look a little worried.

"Are you going alone? This..."

"Don't worry, monks don't like fighting and killing."

As Tao Yu finished speaking, he took off the heavy black iron sword and threw it to Zhang Hao who was standing beside him. Zhang Hao almost couldn't hold it firmly. In the end, he bent his waist, bent his body, and used his internal energy to stabilize it.

"Keep an eye on it for me, Master Wu Se, let's go."

Wu Se was also somewhat surprised to see Tao Yu put down his weapon so easily.

When he first saw the heavy black iron sword that looked a bit exaggerated, he was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would put it down so easily.

"please."

Even though Shaolin was absent from the previous two Huashan Sword Meetings and there was also the embarrassing incident of Huogong Toudao, now is the time when there is a lack of talent.

But when Tao Yu was paying homage to the mountain, all the Shaolin masters gathered in the main hall, which not only showed the status of their own martial arts sect, but also gave face to Tao Yu, the disciple of the East Evil.

"Amitabha……"

Abbot Tianming looked to be still middle-aged, which was considered young among all the abbots of Shaolin.

Shaolin Kung Fu also emphasizes accumulation, and the older you get, the stronger you become.

Seeing Tao Yu stepping into the main hall, many monks began to look him up and down.

What a handsome and elegant man.

After Tao Yu cultivated his inner strength and developed a transcendent temperament, coupled with his good looks, his first appearance always attracted attention.

"Junior Tao Yu, nice to meet you masters."

After Tao Yu entered the room, he was the first to bow and greeted loudly.

"Donor Tao is a disciple of the Five Supremes. He is truly young and promising." Abbot Tianming clasped his hands together and spoke slowly.

In theory, the East Evil Huang Yaoshi should be on par with the predecessors of the Ku generation. As a disciple of Huang Yaoshi, Tao Yu's seniority is also equivalent to that of the abbot.

"This junior came to Shaolin for two things to do. I hope Abbot Tianming can help me."

Tao Yu got straight to the point, causing Abbot Tianming to nod slowly and smile.
"Master Tao, please feel free to speak up. If you can provide convenience, Shaolin will also open the door to convenience."

If the Five Great Masters disciples came in person and it wasn’t a big deal, Shaolin would give them the honor.

"First, I want to exchange some information with Shaolin. This information involves people from outside the region and the northern giants, as well as the connection between this world and the abyss."

Tao Yu was the first to throw out some information that none of the Shaolin monks could ignore.

Everyone was almost collectively shocked when they heard Tao Yu's words.

"People from outside the territory?"

"Information about the northern giants?"

"What is the meaning of this world?"

"A grain of sand is a world..."

"abyss……"

"..."

Even years of Zen practice could not keep the monks in the main hall calm.

Just look at Tianming's age and you'll know that most of the current Shaolin core members are still middle-aged, so they have to recruit latecomers like Wu Se to support the situation, but their self-control is not yet there.

"Amitabha, it's inappropriate to make such a commotion in the main hall."

It was Abbot Tianming who chanted the Buddha's name and suppressed the voices of the other monks.

Although he was a new abbot, he already had some prestige and calmed down the chaotic voices. Then Tianming took the initiative to ask

"What is the explanation for what Donor Tao said?"

Tao Yu did not give them a chance to think about it. He attracted their attention and after Abbot Tianming asked about it, he slowly told them.
"Please listen to me carefully..."

Tao Yu never treated the news about the abyss and related intelligence as a secret, and he would easily tell them out whether he met Cheng Lixue and others, Huang Yaoshi, or even Jack at the time.

The world's will has never prevented the transmission of any information, and most of the confidentiality kept from the indigenous peoples was taken on the initiative of the pioneers for greater benefits.

If we were heading to other, more distant worlds, we could still be safe in the knowledge that no pioneers would arrive.

But there may also be neighboring worlds with other pioneers coming over, and Tao Yu feels that it would be more beneficial to treat some important people with sincerity.

Otherwise, if you keep it secret, and then some new pioneer comes along and leaks the information to make up for the bad feelings, then you will end up losing both the egg and the gain.

only!

As for Cheng Lixue and the others, Tao Yu felt that they were probably the chosen ones.

He also felt that Huang Yaoshi had a similar temperament and was an important person, and later they became master and disciple.

There is no need to say much about Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

But in Shaolin Temple, this information has to be exchanged. As for the things to be exchanged?

"…As I said, this world has fallen into the abyss. People on the shores of the East China Sea can already see the abyss, and giants have appeared in the grasslands to the north. Therefore, the entire Shaolin, the entire martial arts world, and even the entire world have been completely subverted."

Having said that, Tao Yu paused to let them digest it.

"Amitabha, Senior Dongxie was able to find the secret of the abyss, which is truly a blessing to the world. Thank you, Mr. Tao, for clearing up my doubts. Before, you wanted to exchange with Shaolin, but what did you want to exchange?"

Abbot Tianming was also quite shocked by this bombardment of information.

Things have really changed!

Even with Huang Lao Xie's personality, he saw the Tianyuan in advance and knew about the giants and people from outside the domain. He was still shocked when he was baptized by Tao Yu.

Although the Shaolin monks knew about the northern giants before, in their eyes, the giants should also be things of this world, but they didn't know where these monsters came from.

But after Tao Yu introduced the information about the abyss, his view of the world was immediately refreshed.

Fortunately, the monks of Shaolin are relatively "younger" nowadays, and they are quicker to accept new things.

Moreover, the concept of a grain of sand as a world is easy for them to understand.

In fact, the ancients were more receptive to such mysterious things.

Tao Yu also has the title of "Five Wonders Disciple" to back him up, otherwise it might not be so easy for them to believe him.

Tao Yu saw that the monks were already digesting the important information he had given them, and a smile appeared on his face. He spoke calmly:
"Such important information is naturally valuable. The equivalent knowledge of Shaolin is the scriptures in the Sutra Library and the 72 Shaolin unique skills. This is also one of the reasons why I came here..."

The monks who were waiting for Tao Yu to make a request, after hearing Tao Yu's words, even though they were still shocked by the previous information, one monk couldn't help but scold him.

“How dare you! A disciple of the East Evil actually covet my Shaolin inheritance. Aren’t you afraid of being ridiculed by the world if this gets out?!”

After all, he was a high monk. Even if he didn't care about a young boy like Tao Yu, he still took into account the East Evil behind him. He took the commanding position as soon as he opened his mouth and did not just insult him.

Just hearing this, Tao Yu chuckled.

"Dear seniors, times have changed..."

It's pointless to vent your anger on the minions, it's better to go directly to the real boss...
