Chapter 224 Strength and Attitude

The mobilization of the two fully armed battalions of soldiers and horses caused quite a stir. Some people who originally wanted to go to Xiangshan Temple to offer incense, or were simply on their way were frightened and had to turn back or take a detour.

The leading military attaches have also issued orders to block the front and rear paths and prohibit other pilgrims from going to Xiangshan Zen Monastery.

The troops and horses in many places in Dayong, especially those in wealthy areas, are actually mostly ruined, and they have only begun to improve in recent years.

The first to be rectified was the Forbidden Army, which was the main force in the Wuzhou Salt Case, but most of the troops were still not very capable.

However, although the soldiers and horses in Suzhou are in poor condition, they are still better than those in some wealthy areas. They are much better than those in some wealthy areas.

Coupled with the vigorous rectification of the imperial court in recent years, the soldiers could at least be fed and clothed, and gradually obtained some of the ordnance they deserved, and a number of military attachés who had deducted military pay were dismissed.

This is enough to greatly improve the soldiers' spirit, at least compared to ten years ago, it is a world of difference.

Therefore, the soldiers and horses coming this time can be regarded as a military overhaul.

As the soldiers and horses got closer and closer to Xiangshan, some movement inevitably spread into the interior of the temple. The sound of horse hooves and the sound of large groups of people marching, coupled with the sound of armor clashing, created a noisy but solemn feeling.

The monk at the entrance of the temple was first frightened and was at a loss. He grabbed a broom and rushed into the temple to find the abbot.

At this moment, Ding Feixiong and Monk Zhaoli were still in front of the abbot's Zen room, and Yi Shuyuan's words when he left were still in his ears.

Ding Feixiong was wondering if he should consult Mr. Yi privately, and monk Zhaoli also wanted to consult the immortal leader privately on how he, Zhaoli, was worse than Ding Feixiong.

Even Abbot Guangji, who now understands that Mr. Yi is far more extraordinary than he imagined, also wants to keep Mr. Yi for a while longer.

But at this moment, a monk holding a broom hurriedly ran over.

"Abbott, abbot - no, there are many soldiers coming outside -"

The thoughts of the three people who were thinking were interrupted. Monk Teruri concentrated on sensing it and was suddenly shocked. He was so confused that he didn't notice it.

The abbot looked at the running monk with surprise.

"Soldiers and horses? How many are there? Is some powerful person coming?"

But even if a prince came back then, he didn't see him with soldiers and horses!

"Abbott, please go out and take a look. They are all full of people. They don't look like they are here to offer incense. They look scary!"

Seeing the panicked look of the monk, Abbot Guangji was stunned. After regaining consciousness, he immediately looked at the two monks beside him.

"The two masters just woke up from meditation. Please rest here. No one will come to disturb you. I'll go out to see what's going on outside!"

Even though Monk Zhaoli frowned, he still spoke.

"The Buddha has said that it is inconvenient to take care of human affairs. The person who comes this time may be unkind. Please be careful, abbot. If there is a crisis, the monks in the temple can come to take shelter under the flower palm tree. My Buddha is merciful!"

After saying this, Monk Zhaoli's figure gradually disappeared in front of the surrounding monks and Ding Feixiong.

Ding Feixiong and some monks who didn't know the situation were shocked, and then they realized how extraordinary Master Teru Li was.

However, compared to other monks, Ding Feixiong was more uneasy, but he had not thought that Dayong's soldiers and horses would be directed at him.

"Come on, take me to have a look. Master Wu, please rest here!"

"Master Abbot, I will go with you too!"

This was not the time to delay, and the abbot said nothing more. A group of monks hurried to the temple gate together.

The soldiers and horses outside are getting closer and closer, and the movement is getting louder and louder. They have already lined up in front of the mountain gate, and they have sent out manpower to surround them, dividing them into four square formations to surround the entire Xiangshan Temple.

Many people inside Xiangshan Zen Monastery heard the noise. Some monks and pilgrims who were closer came out to check. They were all shocked when they saw the situation outside.

"So many soldiers?" "What happened?"

"According to the play, could it be that the emperor is here?" "It looks so scary."

The Sanxiang County magistrate hidden in the crowd also breathed a sigh of relief. The soldiers and horses have arrived, but the people have not yet fled, and their mission can be considered to be mostly completed.

The military attache in front of the military formation ignored the comments of the pilgrims and ordinary monks. Instead, he looked around and saw that the soldiers had completed their formation, and then nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Zen Master Guangji and some monks came out in a hurry. The pilgrims and monks all moved out of the way to let the abbot come out.

When Zen Master Guangji saw the crowd of soldiers and horses outside, he was so frightened that his legs became weak. He bravely left the temple and stepped forward, shouting to the man who was obviously a general over there.

"This is a pure place of Buddhism. Dear donors, I don't know why you came to our Xiangshan Zen Monastery. Is there any misunderstanding?"

The leading military attache was not a local, and he did not have much emotional preference for the so-called Xiangshan Zen Monastery. He only glanced at Zen Master Guangji and then looked past him to look at a monk patching his robes at the entrance of the temple.

"Humph, you monks don't pay taxes and still own large tracts of fertile land. It's hard to say whether it is a pure place for Buddhism or a place where filth and evil are hidden!"

The military attaché said with a sneer, and then he roared in the direction of the temple.

"Bring out all the rest of the people in the temple and arrest them all - if I find out that you are innocent, I will let you go afterwards -"

"If not, the troops will be broken into pieces——"

It is true that more than a dozen people died, but there may not be only a dozen people. Everyone from Xiangshan Temple to the monks and all the pilgrims were suspected, and the wandering monk naturally became the focus of attention.

This stern yell frightened all the ordinary monks and pilgrims, saying that they would be arrested, but who dared to go out in this posture.

Zen Master Guangji was so frightened that he retreated to the entrance of the temple.

"General, what happened? I am a Buddhist who is compassionate, has no involvement in worldly affairs, and does not gossip. The temple is by no means a place for filth and evil. General, please take a closer look!"

The leading military attaché glanced at the subordinates around him and nodded slightly.

Then several military attachés got off their horses and walked towards the gate of the temple with a small number of elites with good martial arts skills. They did not stop until they were in front of a worried crowd.

Facing Zen Master Guangji and everyone who looked fearful, a military attache nearby had already put his hand on the knife at his waist, and then said in a deep voice.

"On the order of the Northwest Governor, arrest Nan Yan Xizuo. Ding Feixiong——"

The moment the military attache called out his name, Ding Feixiong was shocked. Several "pilgrims" around him who had been secretly prepared suddenly took action.

If you want to sneak attack a skilled warrior, the best time is when he loses his mind.

The two of them used the acupuncture technique directly behind Wandering Monk's back, and the other two directly grabbed Ding Feixiong's arms from left to right.

You don't really want to successfully lock the opponent's meridians and tap acupoints, just want to restrain him for a moment.

But as soon as the person tapping the acupuncture points touched the opponent's body, he found that the internal force he had gathered met a mass of resistance on the opponent's body surface, making it impossible to break through. The two people who were capturing also found that the opponent's arms were like iron arms and could not be shaken at all.

Ding Feixiong was frightened and suddenly encountered a sneak attack, and the protective energy in his body had already been activated first.

To outsiders, it looked like many people suddenly attacked him near Wandering Monk.

And the next moment was a "bang~" sound.

Several people on the side and behind the wandering monk were knocked away one after another, and several nearby monks and pilgrims were knocked down while screaming.

Several military attachés were startled and immediately attacked forward.

"Zheng~" "Zheng~" "Zheng~".

The military attaches and soldiers all drew their swords from their sheaths and attacked Ding Feixiong.

"Oh, it's murder—" "Run!"

Other pilgrims and monks around him screamed in panic and hid inside the temple.

Ding Feixiong blocked left and right with a pair of fleshy palms, moving rapidly, his body's reaction much faster than the hesitation of his consciousness.

"Woo~" "Woo~"

Two sharp arrows shot through the air. Ding Feixiong held the iron Buddha bead in his hand and threw it off his neck. He made two "dang" and "dang" sounds to separate the two arrows.

"Be careful with his beads——"

The Sanxiang County Lieutenant shouted, but the surrounding people rushed towards Ding Feixiong regardless, forcing him to move his position.

"The crossbowmen come forward——" "Fire the arrow——"

Upon hearing this order, the people who had just besieged Ding Feixiong without fear of death immediately moved aside.

The sky in front of the diagonal side suddenly covered more than a hundred arrows, and a black cover fell down.

With Ding Feixiong's martial arts, how could he not know how to hide, let alone not be able to hide.

But at this moment he hesitated. The temple walls could not block all the arrows, and there were a group of panicked monks and pilgrims inside.

In just a moment's reaction time, Ding Feixiong fired several palms with both hands, and his inner energy actually brought up strong winds. It was as if the true energy had left the body, and many arrows flew directly into the air.

Ding Feixiong's body jumped up, the iron beads in his hands danced in the wind, and a large number of arrows were scattered between them.

Inside the Xiangshan Temple, more than a dozen arrows were shot sporadically. Seeing that an arrow was about to hit a pilgrim, Yi Shuyuan in the distance gently shook his fan. A soft breeze blew by, and the arrows deflected and fell in a mess.

On the section of wall outside the gate of the monastery, Ding Feixiong stood holding a Buddhist bead. Not only did he block most of the arrows, but he did not suffer any wounds himself.

Both the people who had just fought with Ding Feixiong and the military attache who gave the order to shoot arrows were all shocked.

Against the crossbow and arrow array that Jianghu people have tried many times, the opponent managed to hit it head-on without any damage?

This man's martial arts is not only high, but has reached an unbelievable level. Could it be that he is a warrior who has reached the innate level according to rumors in the world?

Can two battalions of soldiers and horses capture him?

Yi Shuyuan was currently inside the temple, watching Ding Feixiong standing on the wall from a distance, and Monk Zhaoli had also reappeared, also watching the outside from a distance.

The monks and pilgrims in Xiangshan Zen Monastery were all frightened. Many people took the opportunity to hide inside. Only the abbot and a few other monks were paying attention to the wandering monk on the wall.

"The military formation comes forward——"

"Dong dong dong dong dong"

The snare drum was beaten, the crossbowmen re-stringed their strings, and a group of infantry marched forward slowly, with sword and shield hands in front, spearmen behind, and even two-handed sword hands on both sides.

Ding Feixiong stood on the wall. He didn't want to go on a killing spree, he didn't want to kill these ordinary soldiers who had no grievances against him, and he didn't want Xiangshan Temple to be implicated by him.

"I, Ding Feixiong, am indeed from Nanyan, but I am not a craftsman. Now I am just a monk like duckweed. Why should the general push me so hard?"

"If you are not Nan Yan's mastermind, then we will arrest you without any hesitation. We will clear your name after we find out. No one else in the monastery will be involved, so we can avoid being implicated——"

Naturally, the military attache could see that the arrow shot down by the wandering monk just now meant to protect the interior of the temple, so he tried to shout this.

After he finished speaking, Ding Feixiong sighed inwardly and jumped down from the wall. Several military attachés nearby retreated one after another.

The next moment, the monk's figure suddenly accelerated. His movement was so fast that he reached the vicinity of the military formation almost instantly.

"superior--"

"Kill--" "Kill!"

The surrounding soldiers rushed towards the wandering monk, but a string of iron beads danced in the opponent's hand so tightly that the weapon broke when it touched and the shield cracked.

One by one, the spears were stabbed, and the monks' robes were swept away, and many of the spears were released. The spears flew horizontally, and many soldiers were knocked away by the swords of their fellow soldiers.

Although these soldiers and horses have good fighting spirit, they are not elite soldiers after all, and their cooperation with each other is not perfect. Their shortcomings are clearly visible to a master of Ding Feixiong's level.

The wandering monks in the military formation moved left and right, knocking the soldiers off their backs. At this moment, the crossbowmen in the rear were also restrained.

"boom--"

Ding Feixiong used the Buddhist ritual to step forward and knocked all the soldiers around him to the ground. He actually hit the leading military attache in front of him.

The military attaché's heart leapt, and he leaped forward. The spear in his hand shook out and stabbed You Fang Monk. However, the spear suddenly dissipated in front of the opponent. A white spear was already held by You Fang Monk in his left hand, and the spear head was shaking slightly.

"Hoo"

The military attache's face was full of disbelief, but the wandering monk looked calm.

His martial arts has actually improved again, but it is not something to be happy about. Monk You Fang looked at the military attaché and sighed.

"Monks don't lie, and poor monks don't do it carefully. I also ask the general not to implicate others. Ding Feixiong is willing to restrain his hands. I, the Buddha, are merciful."

After saying this, Wandering Monk released the grip of the gun barrel, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and just stood there and stopped moving.

Being able to stand in the middle of a chaotic army as if there were no one around is strength. Choosing to surrender in front of you is attitude!

The military attaché resisted the urge to draw his gun and stab him immediately, and looked ahead.

Although many of the soldiers who had just fallen into pieces were wailing, almost no one lost their life. Most of those who saw blood were accidentally injured by their comrades, or even injured by broken weapons.

Although admiration arose in his heart, the military attaché still issued a stern order.

"Get it for me!"

Following the military attache's order, several weapons were placed on the monk's neck at this moment, and many spears were blocked around him.

One of the soldiers reached out to pick up the beads from the monk's neck, but found that they were very heavy. He used all his strength to slowly remove the beads.

From beginning to end, the monk remained motionless, which also made the nervous soldiers breathe a sigh of relief.
