Chapter 116 The plot has changed dramatically, and I cheated myself
"You are a person with a good ability to observe people's emotions. No wonder you are able to sit in your current position. Well, tell me where Ma Ning'er is, and I won't kill you."
When the Eight-Armed Arhat heard this, he sold Ma Ning'er without hesitation.
"Taoist Master, Ma Ning'er should be in the capital at the moment."
Zhou Ming was stunned: "What? How could he go to the capital?"
The Eight-Armed Arhat hurriedly said: "I dare not hide it from the Taoist Master. In fact, a few days ago..."
A few days ago, the Eight-Armed Arhat and others had just finished their work in another province, and according to the original plan, they were coming to Fujian Province to clean up the rebellious people here.
But before he left, he heard about what was happening in the capital. Keba, the demon monk from the Western Regions, felt that this was his opportunity, and immediately went to the capital, hoping to offer his poisonous skills to the empress dowager and eliminate Han Li.
If he succeeds, he will definitely be able to achieve great success, and there will be no need for him to travel around the world with the eight-armed Arhat like he is now, cleaning up the rebellious people.
Ma Ning'er, as the only successful product of Keba's poison experiment, naturally followed Keba to the capital.
After Zhou Ming heard this, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
For the first time, he truly felt the obstacles caused by changing the plot at will.
I ran all the way from the capital to Fujian Province to complete the challenge mission. Unexpectedly, one of the three goals of the challenge mission actually ran to the capital city instead of following the original plot.
You can't blame others for this, because the reason Keba ran to the capital was because of himself.
It can be considered that I have tricked myself once.
"Well, we've already arrived here, how can we run back to the capital now? Let's fight with Hong Xiguan and Chen Jinnan first, and then go back to the capital and deal with Ma Ning'er and the Empress Dowager together."
Zhou Ming killed the Eight-Armed Arhat with a backhand thunderbolt and left his mansion.
Returning all the way to Southern Shaolin, Zhou Ming suddenly discovered that there were many more martial arts masters in this Shaolin Temple.
Zhou Ming felt strange and wanted to ask the Supreme Master. When he came to the Buddhist temple, he saw a stern-faced middle-aged man talking to the Supreme Master, and there was an eight or nine-year-old child next to him.
This kid looks young, but his eyes are firm and mature.
"Official Hong Xi?"
Zhou Ming was overjoyed. He didn't expect that Ma Ning'er ran away over there, and Hong Xiguan took the initiative to come to his door.
The middle-aged man turned his head and asked, "Does this Taoist priest know me?"
Master Zhishan smiled and said: "Come, Xiguan, let me introduce to you. This Taoist priest is Taoist Han Li who killed the emperor and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty in the imperial city. Taoist priest, this is
I am Hong Xiguan, a Shaolin lay disciple."
When Official Hong Xi heard this, he hurriedly said: "Official Hong Xi, pay your respects to Taoist Master Han Li!"
Zhou Ming gave a salute and asked: "Master Zhishan, why are there so many Jianghu people in the temple?"
The Supreme Master quickly explained.
When Zhou Ming arrived that night, the Supreme Master sent a message to Chen Jinnan via a flying pigeon. Zhou Ming left Quanzhou for Fuzhou, and then transferred from Fuzhou to find the Eight-Armed Arhat, and then transferred back here. It took more than a day.
time.
During this time, Chen Jinnan had already received the information, and in the name of the chief rudder of the Tiandihui, he ordered people from all corners of the country near Quanzhou to rush to support the Shaolin Temple to prevent the imperial court from attacking the Shaolin Temple.
And even though he himself was busy with important things, he would put down what he was doing and arrive later.
Hong Xiguan has been wandering around the world for the past eight years, but his contact with the Tiandihui has never been broken. This time he also received the news and rushed back to the Shaolin Temple.
When Zhou Ming heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said: "In this case, Shaolin Temple will attract the attention of the court. Although I have killed the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang and the eight-armed Arhat who was responsible for suppressing the rebellion, the goal of Shaolin Temple is too big, and the successors will also
We will still send troops here."
Zhishan was stunned: "The Taoist priest killed the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang again?"
"Um."
"Tao Dao is righteous. As for the safety of Shaolin Temple, there is no need to worry. Because in the past two days, another major event happened."
"What's up?"
"Pingxi King Wu Sangui has rebelled!"
Zhou Ming was shocked, this was a big deal.
Zhishan said: "I'm afraid Wu Sangui has long been planning to rebel and has been secretly accumulating strength. This rebellion swept across Yunnan and Guangxi, and was also affected by it in other places, with many small groups of rebels appearing.
Although no rebels have appeared in our Fujian Province, there is still a turmoil, and the Taoist priest killed the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang... At this moment, the imperial court may not have time to deal with my Shaolin Temple."
He said so, what other opinions could Zhou Ming have?
However, for the sake of safety, Zhou Ming still arranged a five-element mass killing formation with a diameter of 100 meters outside the Shaolin Temple.
The diameter of this formation is not random. The diameter is 100 meters, so one hundred sets of five-element group killing talismans are needed. These talismans are all ten levels. It takes a little energy to activate one. One set is five points, and one hundred sets is enough.
It's five hundred.
Zhou Ming's current energy is 491+180. After spending 500, there is still more than 100 left. Not only does it have no impact, he can even last a battle.
After the arrangement was completed, he went to see Official Hong Xi for a discussion.
Official Hong Xi studied martial arts as a young man and integrated martial arts from both the north and the south. He would not be called a martial arts fanatic, but he was also extremely enthusiastic about martial arts. And Zhou Ming assassinated the emperor and became famous all over the world. Logically speaking, his martial arts skills must not be low.
When Zhou Ming proposed a discussion, Official Hong Xi would naturally not be reluctant.
The two came to the martial arts training ground in the temple. Hong Xiguan put down his gun and went to get a wooden stick. Zhou Ming said: "If you are going to fight with a real sword and a real gun, what does it mean to use a wooden stick?"
Official Hong Xi said: "Swords have no eyes. The two of us are just sparring, there is no need to use real weapons. Between the two of us, it will be bad for whoever hurts the other."
Zhou Ming took out two diamond talismans, stuck them on himself and Hong Xiguan, activated them directly, and a yellow light suddenly enveloped the two of them.
"This is the secret diamond talisman of our Taoist sect. After it is attached, it can be said to be invulnerable, but the energy is limited. When it is about to be exhausted, it will flash with yellow light. If you and I fight with real swords and guns, whoever's body will have the yellow light flash first?
Even if who loses, so what?"
Hong Xiguan tried it with his own gun and found that the yellow light could really be blocked. He sighed: "The Taoist Master is awesome. In this case, let's follow the Taoist Master's wishes."
"However, we can't fight well with just one Vajra Talisman. Here, put up two more."
So the two of them each affixed three diamond talismans and came to the center of the martial arts training ground.
On the martial arts training field, there were many practicing Shaolin monks, and many martial arts people were also practicing martial arts here. When I saw the two people coming to the field, it seemed that they were going to compete, and I immediately became interested. I stopped what I was doing and made room for them.
The two of them stood around and watched.
One of them is Han Li, a Taoist priest who assassinated the emperor in the Forbidden City and became famous overnight.
One is Official Hong Xi, who has been famous for many years and ranks first on the imperial court's must-kill list.
There is no martial arts practitioner in the world who is not interested in the competition between these two people.
When the news spread, many warrior monks, people from the world, and the Supreme Master came to watch. Among the crowd, there were a few children who came to the front.
