Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Therefore, he memorized many martial arts manuals, which is why he was able to acquire such a diverse range of martial arts skills.

Since Lin Yaoxie was here, he certainly couldn't let him succeed. So Lin Yaoxie stood up and said, "I really admire this master from Tibet. Your ability to remember everything you see is simply amazing. In that short time, you translated what you wrote down in that scripture into Sanskrit."

"You're still trying to argue your way out of this situation. You're utterly shameless."

At this moment, Kumārajīva actually saw Lin Yaoxie, and it was as if he had seen a ghost. He simply couldn't believe that Lin Yaoxie was here. He was so frightened that he quickly hid behind him.

Lin Yaoxie said to him, "(Damn, it looks like you're recovering pretty quickly. I've completely destroyed your powers, yet you've managed to recover to your original state in such a short time."

"And they even have the audacity to come to Shaolin Temple to defraud and extort money, and they even have the nerve to say that all those scriptures were created by your Tubo people. It's utterly shameless."

Only then did the Shaolin monks realize that they had been tricked. They never expected that Kumārajīva could be so shameless.

Chapter 157 Kumārajīva Shows Off His Power at Shaolin Temple

By this time, Kumārajīva had recovered his strength, and he knew that he could not possibly retreat and return at this point.

If he appeared so afraid in front of Lin Yaoxie, all his previous bravado would have been for nothing, so he pretended to be calm and stood in front of Lin Yaoxie.

To frighten everyone, he actually lifted a large bronze cauldron from the Shaolin Temple with one hand, then used his internal energy to make the cauldron spin, and then instantly threw it to the ground, where it shattered into pieces.

This internal strength amazed even the highly skilled Shaolin monks, who were astonished that Kumārajīva could increase his power so much in such a short time.

The Shaolin monks, seeing him as someone too formidable, said to Kumārajīva, "Our decades of arduous study are nothing compared to yours. In that case, you should leave."

But this Kumārajīva was so shameless that even his junior brother said he wanted to leave with him as soon as possible.

But Kumārajīva made another unreasonable request, and Lin Yaoxie thought to himself, "Kumārajīva, you've really run out of time."

And that Kumārajīva actually dared to challenge the martial arts of the Shaolin Temple people, saying that he hadn't even fought them one by one yet.

A master standing nearby said, "You've already made a name for yourself here today, why are you still being so aggressive?"

Kumārajīva said, "There are many masters gathered here. How can I leave willingly without having fought against each of you?"

At this moment, a master nearby said, "Don't push people too far." So all the monks began to take their stances, determined to fight this Kumārajīva to the death.

At this moment, Kumārajīva said, "You Shaolin are a prestigious and righteous sect. If it were a one-on-one fight, I would accept that I am not as skilled as you and would leave in submission. But you actually bully the weak with your numbers, which is really unacceptable."

Lin Yaoxie thought to himself, so what if you outnumber someone? As long as they can defeat you.

However, the Shaolin monk said, "Then I'll learn from you first." So the two of them started fighting. Unexpectedly, they quickly entered the fray, exchanging blows with each other, making it difficult to gain the upper hand. It turned out that this master's kung fu was also very powerful, but in the end, he was still defeated by Kumārajīva with a single palm strike.

Kumārajīva stood there arrogantly and said, "I didn't expect that everyone in this Shaolin Temple is useless. All you eminent monks can disband this Shaolin Temple and go to other temples to pursue your own futures."

But the abbot said, "In order to protect our century-old reputation, I cannot let you speak so arrogantly here. I must show you the true skills of Shaolin Temple."

So the two of them started fighting there. Unexpectedly, as expected of the abbot of Shaolin Temple, his martial arts were simply too powerful. But no one expected that this Kumārajīva would improve his martial arts to such a great extent in such a short time. He was about to attack the Shaolin abbot.

At this moment, Xu Zhu, who was standing nearby, attacked Kumārajīva with a palm strike, instantly knocking Kumārajīva back more than ten steps. After barely regaining his footing, he saw that it was Xu Zhu who had made the move, and of course he dared not go forward again.

Lin Yaoxie said to that Kumārajīva, "You still dare to say that you used Shaolin martial arts to fight against the high monks of Shaolin Temple?"

Chapter 158 Lin Yaoxie Shows Off His Skills

"What you just used was not the Kasaya Subduing Demon Skill at all, nor was it a Shaolin martial art. Your martial art was the Lesser Formless Skill."

This sentence exposed Kumārajīva's true colors, but Kumārajīva was slightly flustered, yet he still tried to remain calm.

But he stubbornly argued, "Then I will defeat you, little monk, with Shaolin martial arts."

So Xu Zhu and Kumārajīva started fighting. Kumārajīva had never fought Xu Zhu before, and he never expected that Xu Zhu's martial arts skills were so high.

The Shaolin monks were very curious when they discovered that the martial arts techniques Xu Zhu had just used were not from their Shaolin Temple. They were all there, wondering what was going on.

But there's no use saying anything now. Since Xuzhu has stood up for Shaolin Temple, they'll just stand there and watch.

Although Xu Zhu was highly skilled in martial arts, he was ultimately defeated by Kumārajīva.

Kumārajīva arrogantly declared, "Your Central Plains martial arts world is full of good-for-nothings; not a single one of you is a martial arts master."

At this moment, Lin Yaoxie walked out from behind and said, "You, Kumārajīva, do you think there are no masters in the Central Plains martial arts world? It seems that you haven't suffered enough at my hands. This time, I will definitely teach you a good lesson."

So Lin Yaoxie, in the blink of an eye, attacked Kumārajīva.

Kumārajīva had certainly suffered at the hands of Lin Yaoxie. After being repeatedly defeated by Lin Yaoxie, he eventually tucked his tail between his legs and fled quickly.

The Shaolin monks were surprised to find that the person who came with Xu Zhu was someone they had all assumed to be an unknown junior.

Everyone else thought he was just a servant of Duan Yu, the prince of Dali, but they never expected him to be a true martial arts master.

They all asked Xu Zhu who this Lin Yaoxie was.

After Xu Zhu's introduction, they learned that this was the mysterious martial arts master Lin Yaoxie, who had recently been praised by everyone in the martial arts world for killing Qiao Feng.

So the abbot of Shaolin came to Lin Yaoxie and clasped his hands in gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Benefactor Lin, for your help in resolving this crisis for our Shaolin Temple. I am extremely grateful."

"I was blind before and did not recognize Benefactor Lin Yaoxie. It turns out that you are such a martial arts master. Please forgive me. Please stay at our temple for a few more days. We will certainly treat you well."

0..oo Requesting flowers.

Lin Yaoxie said to the abbot of Shaolin, "There's no need for hospitality. Our main purpose in coming here is to accompany Xuzhu to Shaolin and to explain those things clearly."

"Now that things have been explained, there's no need for us to linger here. I think we should forgive Xu Zhu's transgression. What do you think, Abbot?"

Lin Yaoxie directly pleaded with the abbot, but Xuzhu actually said from the side, "The sins I have committed cannot go unpunished. I must come here to receive my punishment."

Lin Yaoxie was almost spitting blood from anger at Xuzhu. "I've pleaded for you so much, and you're still trying to get punished? I don't care anymore, punish me if you want."

Lin Yaoxie was almost exhausted, while Duan Yu next to him shook his head helplessly. His second brother was really too speechless. His master had already pleaded for him, but he was still trying to accept punishment.

Looking at Lin Yaoxie and Duan Yu's expressions, Xu Zhu said, "If I don't get punished, I'll feel extremely distressed." (Death)

Chapter 159 Lin Yaoxie Warns Zhuang Juxian

"I must be punished before I can leave Shaolin Temple in peace and live a good life with my Meng Gu."

The abbot shook his head helplessly and said, "Xuzhu, although you are kind by nature, I did not expect that you would not be able to control yourself after entering the secular world and would repeatedly violate so many precepts. Since you want to be punished, we will punish you according to the precepts of our temple."

The head of the Disciplinary Hall said, "Since that's the case, I, the '407' head, will expel you from the sect. Since you have already switched to another sect, you should no longer be in my Shaolin Temple. From now on, you are no longer a disciple of my Shaolin Temple."

Xu Zhu's master immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Our Shaolin Temple is making good use of people, but not only did this Tubo Kumārajīva come here to cause trouble, the Beggar Clan also wanted to provoke us."

“Even Ding Chunqiu might come knocking on our door. We need people right now, so let’s keep Xuzhu here for now and let him make amends.”

Xu Zhu quickly said to these eminent monks, "I grew up in Shaolin Temple since I was a child, and I have received great care from my senior brother Abbot and my senior brothers. Your kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain, but I have repeatedly broken the precepts. I have failed your kindness to me, and it is really wrong of me."

The head of the disciplinary hall said to Xuzhu, "Since that's the case, you can leave the temple after you've finished your punishment. We'll punish you with one hundred strokes of the rod. Do you accept that?"

"As for Xu Zhu's master, you have not disciplined him properly, so you should also be punished with thirty strokes of the rod and three years of facing the wall to reflect on your mistakes. Can you two, master and disciple, accept this punishment?"

Xu Zhu's master was deeply resentful that he hadn't taken good care of Xu Zhu. He felt it was all his fault, so he accepted the punishment wholeheartedly.

However, Xu Zhu said to the abbot, "These sins are my own fault and have nothing to do with my master. If you want to punish my master, I, the unfilial disciple, will take the punishment of thirty strokes on his behalf."

Upon hearing this, Duan Yu and the other man wondered if Xu Zhu would survive after being struck with one hundred and thirty blows.

After they dispersed and returned to their rooms, Xu Zhu told them that when he received the 130 blows, he would never use his internal energy to resist.

Duan Yu said to him, "If you don't use your internal strength to resist, it looks like I'll have to carry you down the mountain. Whether you can get out alive is hard to say."

They decided to punish Xu Zhu the next day, so they were able to sleep peacefully in the Shaolin Temple that night.

Before going to sleep, after they sat together, Lin Yaoxie said to them, "It seems that Shaolin Temple has become the target of everyone's attacks. All the major sects want to come and challenge Shaolin Temple."

"In a couple of days, the Beggars' Sect or something will definitely come here to challenge us. It seems that Shaolin Temple will no longer be so peaceful in the future."

Duan Yu said, "Master, didn't you already tell Zhuang Juxian that it was Quan Guanqing's scheme and that he will still come?"

Lin Yaoxie said, "If Zhuang Juxian had listened to me, he wouldn't be where he is today. That person is indecisive and easily deceived. I reckon he'll come to Shaolin Temple to cause trouble again on May 5.5th."

After hearing this, Xu Zhu was particularly worried about the future safety of Shaolin Temple, because he had grown up in Shaolin Temple since he was a child. How could he see Shaolin Temple being trampled on by these people?

So Xu Zhu said he wanted to stay here for a few more days, even if it was just for the safety of Shaolin Temple. He wanted to stay here and watch over Shaolin Temple until everything was safe before leaving.

Chapter 160 The Lingjiu Palace People Arrive at Shaolin

He had Lin Yaoxie and Duan Yu keep him company, since Lin Yaoxie and Duan Yu had nothing else to do anyway.

Since there's something interesting to watch, the master and apprentice didn't care and decided to stay put.

Ever since Lin Yaoxie displayed his martial arts skills in front of those Shaolin monks today.

Shaolin treated Lin Yaoxie with the utmost respect, even the high-ranking Shaolin monks would bow and greet him upon seeing him.

Lin Yaoxie thought to himself, "I'm such a low-key person, yet in such a short time, these Shaolin monks have finally started to look at me properly."

At first, they all treated him like some nobody and ignored him completely. It seems these monks are quite snobbish.

But Lin Yaoxie didn't bother arguing with them. Since they were just here to watch the show, he would just stay and watch.

However, to Lin Yaoxie's surprise, something else unexpected happened.

It was the people of Lingjiu Palace who learned about Lin Yaoxie's visit to Shaolin Temple. They spread rumors that their Lingjiu Palace Master had met with misfortune here.

The rumors spread so far that they even reached Lingjiu Palace, and everyone there was mobilized, hoping to avenge their master, Lin Yaoxie, at Shaolin Temple.

The first to arrive at Shaolin Temple were the four girls, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, along with Granny Yu. After arriving at Shaolin Temple, they were stopped outside by Lin Yaoxie.

Ask them, "Why did you come?"

Seeing that Lin Yaoxie was unharmed confirmed the rumors they had heard.

Lin Yaoxie said with a curious look, "I don't know who said these things. Don't worry, I am the master of Lingjiu Palace. Of course, I won't be killed by someone so easily."

"I'm here to take care of some business with a friend. You can leave without worry. This is Shaolin Temple, and it's not convenient for you to stay here."

Plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums all wanted to follow their master, worried about his safety.

Grandma Yu also said that they should be allowed to stay by the master's side to protect him.

Lin Yaoxie was both amused and exasperated, saying, "This is a sacred place of Shaolin. How can we let these girls in? This is disrespectful to their Buddhist sanctuary and will only cause trouble."

However, they insisted on not leaving, so Lin Yaoxie could only tell them to find a place to settle down outside Shaolin Temple, and that he would come to find them when he left Shaolin Temple.

Lin Yaoxie sent Granny Yu back to Lingjiu Palace to oversee affairs, as the palace couldn't be left without someone in charge.

So Granny Yu said goodbye to them and left to return to Lingjiu Palace to take charge of the overall situation.

Lin Yaoxie managed to persuade the girls to leave after much pleading, and then returned to the temple with a sigh.

As soon as he entered the temple, he was surprised to find Duan Yu looking for him. Duan Yu said to Lin Yaoxie, "Master, where have you been? I've been looking for you for ages and haven't seen you anywhere."

Lin Yaoxie told Duan Yu that the people from Lingjiu Palace had heard that he had an accident at Shaolin Temple, so they came here to look for him. He didn't know who had spread the rumor.

Duan Yu said, "It seems like something really big is going to happen at Shaolin Temple. Those old monks are all whispering among themselves; I wonder what they're discussing?"

Lin Yaoxie said, "Let's wait and see. If we can help, we should help Shaolin Temple. After all, this is Xuzhu's former home. We can't just stand by and do nothing now that Xuzhu and I are here."
