Chapter 122 The imperial army surrounds Shaolin
Zhou Ming had not slept and was practicing talismans in his room. When he heard the sound, he immediately packed up his things, clasped the Golden Turtle on his left arm, and then went out.
There was already a panic outside. Many Shaolin monks and knights gathered together. They didn't know what to do for a while.
Outside the Shaolin Temple, the fire was soaring into the sky. It was not that the fire started somewhere, but the light from the surrounding troops holding torches.
Zhou Ming's martial arts are seen by many people in the world. Under such circumstances, his appearance also gives many people confidence.
Official Hong Xi came over and said: "Master Han, the imperial army has surrounded the Shaolin Temple. The situation is critical. Please help me take care of Wen Ding."
With that said, he sent his son Hong Wending to Zhou Ming.
Hong Wending did not want to be separated from his father, and said: "Dad, my martial arts can still deal with the ordinary soldiers of the imperial court. You can take me with you."
Zhou Mingdao: "The situation is not clear at the moment, and we are not sure how many people are coming outside. It is a bit early to say this."
During the conversation, Chen Jinnan and Master Zhishan came out, calmed everyone down, and then said: "At this moment, the imperial army is indeed surrounded outside the Shaolin Temple, and the number should be about 50,000. But in our Shaolin Temple, there are only a few hundred people.
Among them were monks and some children.
Fortunately, there is a secret passage inside the Shaolin Temple. I decided to let some people escort the monks and the children from the secret passage. The others stayed in the temple to prevent the imperial army from attacking.
This mission is very dangerous, and we must at least hold on until everyone else leaves through the secret passage before we can consider escaping."
"Director Chen, needless to say, I, Wang Dadao, have to be involved in this matter."
"Count me, Li Changjian."
"Hehe, I, Zhang Dachui, am not a coward."
Regardless of the level of martial arts, no one is timid at this moment.
Then again, even a timid person might not respond to Chen Jinnan's call and come to the Shaolin Temple.
Although at first, Chen Jinnan only called on them to protect the treasure map.
"Okay! Thank you all brothers for your help. The situation is urgent. Monk Wen and the children can leave now. Others can follow me to the temple gate and defend according to the temple gate."
Southern Shaolin is also built on the mountains. If the army wants to attack Southern Shaolin, it must attack from the main gate.
Because except for the main entrance, there are no roads everywhere but mountains and forests. It is almost impossible for the army to climb up from the mountains and forests and attack the Shaolin Temple.
When everyone came to the main entrance, they saw a large number of officers and soldiers advancing step by step. They were less than fifty meters away from the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple. There was also a strong man eight feet tall among the soldiers. He looked up and saw Chen Jinnan. He couldn't help but sneered: "Chen Jinnan, I didn't expect that."
Let’s meet again so soon!”
"Er Chun? Is it you? You actually chased me here!"
This Erchun was the court master that Chen Jinnan met before. Because of his obstruction, Chen Jinnan, who was supposed to arrive at Shaolin Temple in the afternoon, did not arrive until night.
Erchun sneered and said: "It's not that I am chasing you, but that you jumped into my trap. There have been many rebellions in the Shaolin Temple in recent days. Do you think we don't know? We are just trying to catch a turtle in a urn.
Just waiting for a big fish to enter the urn. Unexpectedly, this big fish is actually you, Chen Jinnan."
It turns out that these days, the actions of the Shaolin Temple are all in the eyes of the imperial court. On the one hand, the world is in turmoil. Wu Sangui's rebellion in Yunnan has caused endless turmoil in Fujian Province, attracting a lot of forces. On the other hand, it is also the imperial court that thinks what the Shaolin Temple is going to do here.
For big events, a large number of rebels will inevitably gather, so I want to wait for work and wait until the time comes to catch them all in one fell swoop.
Last night, Chen Jinnan rushed to Shaolin Temple, which attracted the attention of the imperial court and sent Erchun to stop him.
Erchun discovered that Chen Jinnan's goal was the Shaolin Temple, so he simply used his plan to let them go, and then sent a large army here.
Because he also knew that if a martial arts master like Chen Jinnan wanted to escape, no matter how many armies he had, it would be useless.
But except for Chen Jinnan, it's hard to say for others.
Maybe he could threaten Chen Jinnan with the lives of other people and completely eliminate the leader of the Tiandihui.
Only then did Chen Jinnan realize that he had fallen into the trap, but he said forcefully: "I only know some tricks and tricks. If you have the ability, come and arrest me, Chen Jinnan!"
Erchun said: "Huh, the whole army is ready, the archers will go first!"
His subordinates immediately waved the flag and ordered the army in flag language.
Everyone immediately retreated to avoid the arrows. Although Southern Shaolin is not as famous as Northern Shaolin, it is still a thousand-year-old temple, and the quality of its construction is excellent. The arrows fired by the army could not do anything to them for a while.
But when those armies came to the gate, they could easily blast through the gate of Shaolin Temple.
After all, this is just a temple, not a town used for war.
Chen Jinnan said: "We are few in number, and our advantage lies in personal force. It is best to wait until they get close before fighting."
Everyone nodded and acknowledged this.
Zhou Ming said at this time: "Chief Helmsman, I have already guessed this, so I have set up a talisman formation outside the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple to kill part of the army."
Talisman array?
Everyone looked at each other in confusion after hearing this, not quite understanding what he was talking about.
However, Chen Jinnan is worthy of being the chief helmsman of the Tiandihui. He has already known how powerful Zhou Ming's talisman formation is through his own intelligence channels. He was overjoyed when he heard this and asked: "How far can the Taoist priest's talisman formation cover?"
"It's about thirty-three feet out of the gate."
Chen Jinnan thought about it and said: "Okay, we are so lucky to have the Taoist priest here today! After the monks and children have left through the secret passage, we will destroy the entrance of the secret passage and then fight out of the mountain gate. At this time, the Taoist priest
It can activate the talisman array, and with the power of the talisman array, it will definitely help us escape smoothly."
Despite his calm appearance, the situation of being surrounded by 50,000 troops also gave him a headache, and he could only try his best to find a solution.
Zhou Ming's talisman formation, to him, was no less than providing help in times of need.
Chen Jinnan thought of ways to assist this plan.
Not long after, the army approached. They cut down a big tree to make a siege tree, broke open the temple gate, and rushed into the Shaolin Temple. Many monks and martial arts warriors relied on the terrain to dodge, and there were not many casualties for a while.
Chen Jinnan went against the army and went directly to Erchun. Erchun's martial arts was not as good as Chen Jinnan's, but he was not weak either. With the help of the surrounding soldiers, he was able to fight Chen Jinnan in two moves.
But Chen Jinnan didn't come to fight with him. After two moves, he suddenly took out a yellow talisman and threw it on the ground.
Erchun mocked: "Huang Fu? Chen Jinnan, I heard that your Heaven and Earth Society worships Heavenly Father and Earthly Mother. Why do you believe in Taoism now?"
Chen Jinnan said: "I didn't really believe it before, but now, I do!"
Erchun laughed, but suddenly thought of something, his face changed, his eyes wandered among the army, and he soon found a young man wearing a blue robe.
The young man seemed to notice his gaze, smiled at him, and took out a yellow talisman.
Erchun's face instantly turned pale and he exclaimed: "Are you Demon Dao Han Li?! Why are you in Shaolin Temple! Why are you here!"
This Han Li has disappeared since he killed the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang and the Eight-Armed Arhat a few days ago.
Who would have thought that he was actually in Shaolin Temple!
No one knows the horror of the demon Han Li better than these generals in the army.
If you can't kill or retain them, if you encounter an army of more than a thousand people, just run away, if you encounter an army of less than a thousand people, just kill them directly.
As long as he takes action, no one will be able to escape!
