Lin Fan was chasing after the old monk with his sword when he saw a blade energy coming at him. He quickly used " Transverse Teleportation " to dodge to the right. The red blade energy slashed at a tree beside him. The tree was cut off at the waist and the cut was ignited. In an instant, the flames were raging.
After Lin Fan dodged to the side, he used Tiangang Sword Technique and Stalwart Star Kick to send a sword energy towards the old monk. The old monk dodged and the sword energy shattered the mountain rocks at the side.
Lin Fan swung his sword and followed behind the old monk. The old monk shot out another scarlet blade energy and collided with Lin Fan's sword energy. Instantly, the energy shot out and smashed the surrounding trees into pieces.
Then, Lin Fan and the old monk started to fight everywhere. The small forest was in a mess and the rocks around were smashed into pieces. After fighting for a long time, Lin Fan turned around and stabbed the old monk's left chest. The old monk's right hand slashed out with a blade energy. He wanted to slash at Lin Fan's throat but when his hand reached Lin Fan, he raised his hand and hit Lin Fan's chest. Lin Fan was sent flying. Before Lin Fan flew out, he didn't forget to hit the old monk's right chest.
Blood spurted out from the old monk's mouth and the wound on his left chest was bleeding as well. He fell to the ground. Lin Fan was sent flying by the old monk's palm and crashed into a big tree. Blood gushed out from his mouth.
Lin Fan struggled to stand up. He felt pain in his chest and his meridians were injured. However, he didn't care about that. He placed his sword on the ground and looked at the old monk coldly,""Why? You could have killed me?"
The old monk struggled to sit up and sat down cross-legged. He sealed a few of his acupoints to stop the bleeding and smiled at Lin Fan,""Amitabha, how can a monk kill? Besides, I've already become angry after fighting with you today, so how can I hurt you again? Moreover, the scholar's background was extraordinary. If anything happened to him, it would definitely cause a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism! Our Shaolin has already suffered a great loss. Other than the old monk, there are no other peerless experts. If the experts of the Taoist Faction come, our Buddhist incense will be cut off!”
He spat out a mouthful of blood and said," Benefactor is still young and is in the middle of the day. This old monk is on the verge of death. However, I really can't give this Nine Yang Scripture to Benefactor. I hope Benefactor can forgive me!"”
Lin Fan sheathed his sword and said coldly," Since that's the case, I will leave Shaoshi Mountain today. As long as you don't die, I won't go to Shaolin. If I meet someone from Shaolin in the future, I will spare his life!"”After saying that, Lin Fan activated Nine Shadows Spiral and walked down the mountain.
After Lin Fan left, the old monk circulated his energy for a long time before waking up and smiling bitterly,""How could there be such a young peerless expert in this world? This young man's sword and palm took the old monk's life. It's a pity that my Golden Bell Shield hasn't reached the twelfth layer, or else this sword energy wouldn't be able to hurt me. He just didn't know who would come to protect him after the old monk died!”After saying that, he stood up and flew to the Sutra Library.
On the first floor of the Sutra Depository, Jue Yuan was sitting and reciting scriptures. However, the original Sanskrit scripture, the " Lankaya Sutra ", was lost, making him unable to calm down. While he was in a daze, he heard the door creak and a body leaned against the door.
Jue Yuan looked up and saw an old monk lying on the door, his chest bleeding profusely. Jue Yuan hurried over and helped the old monk up. He said anxiously,""Martial Uncle, what's wrong with you? That's right, tonight, a thief from somewhere stole the original Sanskrit 'Lankaya Sutra'!”
The old monk grabbed Jue Yuan and took out a scripture from his bosom. He said to Jue Yuan,""I went to fight with the person who borrowed the book to keep the book, but my heart meridian was injured by his sword qi and I'm about to die. You have to take good care of this book.”
Jue Yuan took the scripture and saw that it was the stolen "Lankaya Sutra". He stuffed it into his pocket and said to the old monk,"Martial Uncle, don't talk anymore. Quickly circulate your energy to heal your injuries. I'll go find the abbot and the others.”After saying that, he placed the old monk by the door and stood up to leave.
The old monk grabbed Jue Yuan's monk robe and said,""Don't look for the abbot and the others. My lineage has always been the guardian of Shaolin Temple and is unknown to others. I only appeared once when the sixth generation leader of Beggar's Sect, Xiao Feng and his son, and the Murong family's father and son, caused a ruckus in Shaolin Temple. Moreover, that person was a high-ranking member of the Dao Sect. If the abbot and the others chased after him, they were afraid that something would happen! I'm afraid Shaolin will be exterminated!"
"Jue Yuan, you've always had a gentle personality. I once asked you to cultivate the Nine Yang Scripture. You can also cultivate a few of the secret manuals in the Sutra Depository. In the future, I'll leave the task of protecting Shaolin Temple to you. After I die, don't make a sound. After I'm cremated, bury me under the row of trees on the west side of the Sutra Depository. Remember this."”After the old monk finished speaking, he closed his eyes and fell to the ground without a sound.
On one side, Jue Yuan was dealing with the old monk's funeral matters. On the other side, Lin Fan had gone down Shaoshi Mountain. After resting in an inn, he took his horse and left before dawn. After rushing to Dengfeng City, he dismounted and drank some water.
The sky was finally bright. Yang Guo rode his horse over and saw Lin Fan leaning against the city wall from afar. He smiled and shouted from afar,"Master, Master! I'm here!" He smashed the horsewhip and rushed to Lin Fan's side.
He got off the horse and saw Lin Fan's pale face,""Master, what's wrong? Are you injured?"
"You brat, if this pot of water doesn't boil, where are you going to bring it up? Let's go! Go to Hubei and go to Xiangyang!" Lin Fan said in a bad mood. Then, he got on his horse and was about to leave.
Yang Guo quickly mounted his horse and followed behind Lin Fan, shouting,""Master, tell me! What was going on? Why are you going to Xiangyang? I don't want to go there! Uncle Guo's family is there. I don't want to see that evil woman Guo Fu!”
? Lin Fan said slowly," Didn't I tell you yesterday that the Shaolin Temple is very deep? Sure enough, even in the lowest point of Shaolin Temple in hundreds of years, there is a peerless expert like me. It's an old monk. He knows many of Shaolin's seventy-two ultimate skills, and his internal strength is deep. I almost died in his hands! This injury is all because of him!"
"Is this Shaolin Temple really that powerful? Even you're no match for it!" Yang Guo said, flabbergasted. Ever since I accompanied you down the mountain, I've only seen you sweep away all the evil spirits. I've never seen you get injured. Why did you suffer a loss at the hands of the Shaolin monks this time?”
Lin Fan said angrily," What do you mean I'm not a match for him? That monk and I are on par. Although that old monk was merciful this time, he was afraid that my death would cause a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism. Furthermore, I used my Innate Sword Energy to break through his eighth layer of Golden Bell Shield, injured his heart meridian, and hit his right chest with the Heart-Shattering Palm. His injuries are even more serious than mine. I'm afraid that he has already lived for a few days?”
