Ruins of Old Chang 'an
After many days, Bai Lianyi came to see Seth and smiled.""Are all you Franks so eager to learn? It's really rare."
Seth said," I'm a mixed-blood of the Eastern race. The skin color and hair of the Franks are not like mine.”
"I see…No wonder you want to come to the East. Should he settle down here? Maybe your ancestors were from the Chinese Dynasty.”
"My Lord has treated me well. Now that they are facing internal and external problems, I have to go back and help them.”
"Alas, if An Lushan was as thoughtful as you, those treacherous officials would not have today…"
"By the way, do you know where the Shaolin Temple is?" Seth asked.”
"Oh, that Shaolin Temple with good Kung Fu, it's very far away."”
"I made an appointment with Huiyan to send his sarira back.”
"Yes, Huiyan is a monk from Shaolin Temple. Shaolin Temple was located on Mount Song, southeast of Luoyang City. Since it was a promise, go and fulfill it.”
"I'll come back after I'm done with my business." As he was about to set off, Bai Lianyi suddenly asked him,""I noticed something. Why do you always carry that porcelain pot around with you?”
"This is my treasure. It's called the Devil Refining Gourd. I brought it from my hometown.”
"Oh? But it looks like it was made in China.”
"I don't know how it came to our country. This was given to me by the officer who took care of me. It was only when I came here that I was sure that it came from China.”
"Hahaha! This is also fate!"
Seth bid farewell to Bai Lianyi and left Chang 'an for Henan. After traveling day and night for more than ten days, they finally arrived at the Shaolin Temple on Mount Song. When Seth came to the temple, a young monk happened to walk out of the door. Seth immediately walked over. When the young monk saw Seth walking over, he put his palms together and said,""Patron, what's the matter?"
"Excuse me, I'm looking for a Shaolin monk who is of the same generation as Master Hui Yan." Said Seth.”
The young monk was stunned for a moment and said,""Grand Uncle-Master Huiyan? My grand master is in the same generation. They all went out, and I only found out when I just came back. Patron, what is it? I still have something urgent to do down the mountain."
"I'm here to give Master Huiyan's sarira," Seth said.”
"Grand Uncle Master passed away?" The young monk asked in surprise.”
Seth nodded and said," I owe him a favor. I hope to help him with this last thing."”
"What's your relationship with Taishibo Huiyan?" the young monk asked.”
"Venerable Huiyan once taught me some martial arts.”
"Uncle Master taught you martial arts! If you are older than me by a generation, wouldn't I have to call you Martial Uncle?”
"It doesn't matter. Just call me Seth.”
"Seth? So I'm not from China, I'm Wu Yuan. This…Although it was an urgent matter, the sarira of Grand Martial Uncle was more important. How about this, please go up the mountain first."
"Take the main entrance?"
"Hmm…No, you practice Shaolin Kung Fu. The first time you go up the mountain, you have to go through the Wooden Golem Alley.”
"How do I get to the Wooden Golem Alley?"
"It's just behind the tower. Move the tower and you'll be able to enter.”
"Thank you very much."
"No need to thank me. Please be careful when you walk.”The young monk went in first. Seth followed his instructions and came to a stone tower beside the temple. He found a switch on the stone tower and activated it. The stone tower moved away and a passage appeared.
Seth entered through this passage and arrived at a temple hall. Who knew that a wood-iron man would attack him as soon as he entered? Seth hurriedly fought back. The wood-iron man was very strong and vigorous, and his punches were fierce. It was not easy for Seth to defeat this wood-iron man.
"Why is there a golem here?" Seth asked angrily. Could it be a trap set by Huang Lei?"
"Hahaha!" Li Jing appeared and laughed. No, when Huang Lei was young, he had once become a monk in Shaolin Temple. He did not learn martial arts or Buddhism, but secretly learned the art of traps.”
"I see…"
"Legend has it that when Guigu 'zi lived on this mountain, he created it to teach Mozi and Lu Ban.”
"Wait, we have to take such a dangerous road to go to Shaolin Temple?”
"Hahaha…of course not. This path is for the training of martial monks. That little monk lied to you. He just wanted to see how strong you are.”
"I'll let him see his strength. I'll see how he'll explain himself to me when he goes up.”
Therefore, Seth went into the Alley of Wooden Figurines and was attacked by countless Wooden Iron Men along the way. However, Seth used all the Kung Fu he had learned from Huiyan and overcame all obstacles along the way. As he fought his way out of the Alley of Wooden Figurines, his cultivation had also improved unknowingly.
When Seth entered the last room, he saw countless Wood Iron Men lined up in a huge formation. Seth was shocked. Nicole quickly appeared and said,""Seth, it's too dangerous ahead. Can we find another path?”Seth pondered for a moment before he stepped forward. Nicole hurriedly advised,"Seth, don't go any further. It's too dangerous.”Seth did not listen to her and continued to walk forward. Just as Seth was about to come into contact with the Wooden Dummies, the scene in front of him suddenly disappeared. Seth could not help but say,""What's going on?"
Li Jing appeared and said," Actually, this is just a test of the courage of those who enter the pass. Those monks just now were all illusions."”
"What a boring checkpoint." Nicole pouted.”The two of them returned to the Devil Refining Gourd.
Seth finally passed through the alley of wooden figures and arrived at the temple. Wu Yuan greeted him with a smile,""Martial Uncle, you came out so quickly. Your martial arts are really good.”
"Why are you such a vicious monk?" Seth asked. Are you lying to me by taking this path?"
Wu Yuan laughed." Hahaha…I'm just joking with you. It's just that I haven't entered the Wooden Golem Alley before, so I can't be considered to have learned Shaolin Kungfu."”
"Forget it, it's also an eye-opener for me." Seth said.”
Wu Yuan said," The monks in the temple have all gone down the mountain to fight the thieves. Please let this disciple keep the relic of Grand Martial Uncle first."”Seth handed the sarira to Wu Yuan, who then placed the sarira in the temple hall. Then, he came back and said to Seth,""Martial Uncle, this disciple also wants to go down the mountain to chase after the thief. I can't entertain you anymore."
"What happened?"
"Recently, a new cult has appeared in Luoyang and is causing trouble everywhere. For the sake of the peace of the people, the monks of Shaolin Temple have all gone down the mountain to eliminate the evil.”
"You want to go too?"
"Of course. Why else would I learn martial arts?”
"Are you going to Luoyang? Can you bring me there?"
"Is this…convenient?"
"Anyway, I'm out on a trip and want to see around.”
"Alright, with you here, Martial Uncle, you can give me some pointers.”
"I haven't learned much from your Shaolin Temple.”
Therefore, the two of them went down the mountain together and arrived at Luoyang City in a few days. It was also prosperous, no less than Chang 'an City. "Yes, compared to Chang 'an, it has a different flavor." Said Seth.”
"Luoyang is the eastern capital of the Great Tang. When Empress Zetian was in power, she liked to come here the most.”
"Thank you for your introduction. Let's get down to business first." Seth said.”
"Martial Uncle is right," Wu Yuan said."The person I want to pursue is a habitual robber who recently joined the Black Altar Sect.”
"Black Altar Cult?"
"It's the new evil sect that I mentioned before. They specialize in taking in people from other sects and using evil techniques to harm people.”
"Then how do you find the person you want to chase?"
"His name is Black Blood Dog Yellow Eight. I heard that he often appears in Yichun Yard.”
"Alright, let's go."
They had inquired about the location of the Yichun Courtyard in the city and soon found this place. It turned out to be a brothel and was very lively. Seth was about to enter when he saw Wu Yuan stopping in front of the door. Seth asked,""What's wrong?"
"I'm a monk, I can't enter a brothel," Wu Yuan said. Uncle-Master, you haven't received the Buddhist precepts, so you're not subject to this restriction.”
"Really…you've been planning to use me for a long time.”
"That's not the case. Disciple returned to Shaolin to consult Buddha about this matter, but Buddha sent you here.”
"Alright, alright, you can wait outside.”
Seth entered the Pleasant Spring Court alone and asked the turtle slave who was welcoming the guests,""I heard that the black-blooded dog Eight Yellow often comes to your place. Is he here?”
"Yellow Eight?" That bastard. He's not satisfied no matter how the girls here serve him. He's also relying on the fact that he joined the Black Altar Cult to renege on his debt and not give us money. If you want to know where Yellow Eighth is going, Mama might know.”
Seth found the brothel madame of Yichun Yard and asked her about the whereabouts of Yellow Eight. The brothel madame said,""That bastard ran away and went to Chang 'an to hide. Someone had seen him in Chang 'an West City. It seemed to be the most frequent in Dukang Residence.”
Seth thanked the brothel madame and went outside. Wu Yuan asked him how he had inquired. Seth said,""I heard that the Black-Blood Dog Yellow Eight ran to Chang 'an to avoid the limelight. I also heard that he often appears in a restaurant called Du Kangju in the west of Chang' an.”
"Chang 'an? That's far away. I've never been there.”
"It doesn't matter. I've stayed in Chang 'an West City for a while. I can lead the way.”
"Yes, as expected of Martial Uncle."
The two of them left Luoyang in a hurry and rushed back to Chang 'an. When they returned to Chang 'an and came to the Dukang Residence in Xi City, a murder case had happened here. Many people were watching. The two of them went up to ask, and a citizen said,"There's a robber killing people in the shop!”
Another commoner said,"In broad daylight, the times have really changed!"”
"Who is the criminal?" Wu Yuan asked.
A commoner in front said," There's a man called Black Blood Dog Huang Ba. I heard that he joined the Black Altar Cult. The cult has many people and is powerful. They also know evil techniques. Who dares to provoke them?"”
"Ha! I want to meet them and see if their evil techniques are powerful. Or is my Shaolin Kung Fu better?"
"Does anyone know where the Black Altar Cult is?" Seth asked.”
" I heard that most of them are hiding in the ruins of the old Chang 'an," a young man said.”
"Ever since the last few bold people went in, they haven't come out. Now, no one dares to approach."”
"Ha! No one dared to get close, right? Seth did not allow him to say anything more and said,""Wu Yuan, it's more important to get down to business." Then he asked,"Where is the old Chang 'an?"”
"Southwest of Chang 'an," answered a middle-aged man.”Seth thanked him and immediately set off with Wu Yuan to the ruins of the old Chang 'an.
The old Chang 'an City had been abandoned for many years. It was extremely gloomy inside. After the two of them entered, they felt a musty smell and ghostly shadows. Wu Yuan said," Looks like this is the place. These ruins are the ruins of Chang 'an City in the Han Dynasty. It was once submerged by the Yellow River and was later excavated.”
"Alright, let's go in."
"Wait! Someone is coming." The two of them immediately hid in the dark. After a while, they saw a woman enter in a hurry. Wu Yuan said,"This is really strange. Could it be a female ghost?”Seth did not think that it was a female ghost, so he quickly chased after it. When they reached the bend in front, they saw two people in Taoist robes sneering at the woman who had just entered."Hehehe!" The woman quickly ran away, and one of the Taoist priests immediately chased after her.
"Hmph!" Another Taoist priest sneered. There was actually a girl who dared to barge in. This was going to be fun. Hahahaha!" Just as he was about to catch up, Seth and Wu Yuan both jumped out. The Taoist was stunned and shouted,""Who is it? What do you do?"
"We're looking for the black-blooded bastard," Seth said.”
"What bastard?" the Taoist priest said angrily. I'm Yellow Eight!"
"It's almost the same anyway," Seth replied.
"You…you, you, you can forget about getting out of here alive!"”He suddenly drew his sword and attacked the two of them. Seth and Wu Yuan attacked at the same time. Huang Ba's kung fu was very weak. He was tripped by the two of them in just two moves. However, Huang Ba still wanted to resist. The flying sword stabbed at him. Seth shook his palm and the sword flew back, nailing Huang Ba to the ground.
"That female benefactor seems to be in trouble," Wu Yuan said.”
"Okay, let's go inside and take a look."
They followed her all the way inside and searched for a long time in the ruins, but they could not find her. The two of them could only turn back. Seth said,""Where would she hide?" Just as they were discussing, the woman suddenly appeared. The woman was shocked when she saw the two of them and turned around to leave. At the same time, another two Black Altar Disciples caught up. Seth and Wu Yuan immediately took action and dealt with these two evildoers.
Wu Yuan said,"These Taoist priests are really evil. It's more important for us to quickly find that female benefactor."”They looked in the direction that the woman had fled and finally found her in front of a stone wall at the end.
When the woman saw the two of them chasing after her, she said in surprise,""Don't come near me!"
"Female benefactor, we're here to save you."”
"Is that so? Who are you? Anyone who was here was suspicious.”
"You're the suspicious one!"
Seth said," Don't be noisy. My name is Seth. This is Wu Yuan. We are here to chase after the bandits."”
Seeing that they didn't look like bad people, the woman said,""My name is Wang Siyue. I'm here to catch a thief.”
"Catch a thief?" Wu Yuan asked in surprise.
Wang Siyue said," It's a foreign missionary living in my house. He said he wanted to build a church in Chang 'an. My parents donated a lot of money to him, but I think this person is very suspicious." Yesterday, I saw the missionary carrying a bag of things here, so I followed him all the way here.”
Seth said," Chang 'an is really peaceful. Even young women dare to run around. I have never seen this in other countries."”
"Of course, that's why I can't just let these bad people go."”
Wu Yuan said,"But the public security has been a lot worse recently!" Female benefactor, do you have some extraordinary ability?”
" Don't look down on me," Wang Siyue said." I learned some sword techniques when I was young. Ordinary people can't beat me."”
Wu Yuan said," That's because I'm young. It's different now. Moreover, these bandits are all extremely vicious people. They actually want to barge into the bandits 'nest."”
"Alright, let's go out. There's no need to stay here." Seth said.”
But Wang Siyue said," I must investigate this thoroughly. I followed the missionary here and then he disappeared. There must be a special mechanism behind this wall. I have to think of a way to break open this wall and see what the missionary is up to.”
"You still want us to follow you everywhere?" Wu Yuan asked.”
"No one needs your help!" Wang Siyue said.”With that, she walked away.
Wu Yuan said,"Truly…an insensible Eldest Miss."”
Seth said," Sigh, since I've helped her here, I'll help her here."”
"Martial Uncle is right. Buddhism should be merciful.”
"Is there any way to open that stone wall?”
"I remember that there was a man called Old Gu in the grocery store in Chang 'an West City who said that saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal powder, and bamboo tubes could be used to make explosives. I think it should be able to blast open that stone wall.”
"Looks like I have to ask Old Gu for help.”
They first returned to Chang 'an and found Old Gu in the grocery store. They asked him to help them make explosives. Old Gu did not refuse and agreed immediately. Seth bought all the items he needed and handed them to Old Gu. Old Gu was indeed a skilled craftsman. He quickly made the explosives and taught them how to use them. Seth and Wu Yuan then brought the explosives back to the ruins.
Seth placed the explosives under the stone wall and lit the fuse. The two of them quickly retreated to a place far away. After a loud bang, the stone wall collapsed. It led to another place. The two of them went in and came to another cave. At this time, Wang Siyue caught up from behind."I was wondering who blew up the cave, so it was you.”
"Benefactor, it might be dangerous inside. You should wait outside the cave."”
However, Wang Siyue was very willful. She said,"I don't want it." He quickly walked past the two of them and entered the cave ahead. "Do all the girls in the Tang Empire run around like this?" Seth asked.”
Wu Yuan said,"I think she's more special."”
Seth called out,"Sigh, it's happening again."”
"Martial Uncle, be a good person to the end."”
Seth had no choice but to follow him into the cave. Seth did not expect to see a familiar figure inside. He blurted out,""You are…Connally!"
Connally turned around and laughed sinisterly. Seth, what a coincidence!"
"Mr. Kang!" Wang Siyue said. What are you doing? You told my father that you wanted to build a church and took a lot of money. How did you end up like this?”
At this moment, Wu Yuan also saw that everything here was actually made of human bones. He couldn't help but be scared to the point that his hair was trembling. Connally sneered,"It's made of fresh dead people. I arranged them into a Buddhist mandala that symbolizes the heavens.”
"Aren't you here to preach? Why are you learning Buddhist scriptures?" Seth asked.”
"Haha, you know, you just haven't remembered yet." You were the one who designed the Anti-Mandala Array.”
"Me?" Seth was surprised.
"You'll remember one day," said Connally.”
"No matter what, I'll settle the score with you for what happened to Lilian!" Seth said angrily.”
"Look at this poor little monk." Connally shook his head.”As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful Yin Qi invaded Wu Yuan's body and he turned into a yaksha. Seth exclaimed,""Understanding fate! Constance, what did you do to him?”
"Those who can't withstand fear will be controlled by the darkness."”
Wu Yuan's body was invaded by the evil energy, and his soul cried out in pain,""Martial Uncle…Save me…"
Seth quickly shouted,"Understanding fate!" Wake up!"
"Seth, play with him slowly." Connally said.”With that, he disappeared without a trace.
Wu Yuan roared and attacked Seth. Seth quickly made a move. Li Jing, Kama, and Nicole secretly lost their strength to Seth. Seth's strength increased several times and he used Shaolin martial arts to fight Wu Yuan. After several rounds, Seth struck out a powerful palm force and finally shook the evil spirit out of Wu Yuan's body. However, Wu Yuan also fell to the ground and fainted.
