After everyone made their own arrangements to go, Huiyuan said goodbye to everyone, and took Yu Xiangdi and turned around and walked out the door. He thought the meeting would come to an end for the time being, but he didn't expect Huiyuan to wander around at the door, and then turned around and said, "By the way, there is another thing, I think it's better to tell you."

"Oh? What else does the master have?" Seeing Huiyuan's attitude, Pu Zixuan thought that there must be important news to be announced, and he suddenly became curious.

"Haha, I want to say that there is a person... no, to be precise, a monster is rushing to Gansu to eliminate the drought. If this happens, there is no need to worry about the child's condition."

The news was really explosive, and Pu Zixuan was shocked and grew up: "Ah? How could such a thing happen?"

"This monster is the second-generation Xiqu. I wonder if Ziyu has mentioned to you that the demon king Xiqu located in Henan is a monster with a sense of justice. The first-generation Xiqu has some friendship with me. After he got old, he gave up the position of the demon king to his successor, namely the second-generation Xiqu. In order to inherit the vision of his predecessors to eradicate the demon world, this new Xiqu has done a lot of measures to eliminate harm for the people over the years. Recently, it has set its sights on the Hanba in Gansu."

Yu Xiangdi was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "Yes, Master, my disciple has explained to them that Xiqu is a friend of his master, but... but... it is the first time that the disciple has heard of Xiqu today."

Huiyuan responded lightly: "Actually, there is nothing to hide. In the past, you didn't know these, but there was no need to talk about them. Now, in front of you, I'm just going to explain it together. Although the lifespan of monsters is long, it varies from race to race, at least a thousand years, and at most two or three thousand years. But no matter what, it is only five thousand years old. Like the ghost Yasha and the old monster in the Black Mountains, they have lived for hundreds of years, but they are still very young monsters. However, the ancient monsters such as Hanba and Xiqu are different in the Book of Songs and Shanhaijing. Hanba have lived for three thousand years and are still middle-aged and middle-aged. The first generation of Xiqu has lived for four thousand six hundred years.

He is old, so he must find a successor for his position as the demon king. In this sense, "Xiqu" is not the name of a monster, but who becomes his successor, and who is the second generation Xiqu. More than ten years ago, the first generation Xiqu knew that he was old and announced his retirement to the world. About six years ago, he could not let go of the world that was chaotic by the demon world, so he decided to choose a monster as the heir to inherit his vision. In order to distinguish it from the latter, he also asked me to give him a Dharma name. In order to be grateful for his kindness, I gave him a "Huike" as his wish. You must know that this is the Dharma name of the second ancestor of Zen Buddhism in Han Buddhism."

"Is that so? So what kind of monster is that second-generation Xiqu? Are you willing to inherit Lao Xiqu's mission of upholding justice?" At this point, Yu Xiangdi was a little sad. It can be seen that he admired Lao Xiqu's justice and was full of expectations for the quality of the second-generation Xiqu.

"Oh, how do you say it..." Huiyuan sighed and said, "After all, in the demon world, there are very few monsters with the same idea as the first generation Xiqu. He also knew that once he chose the wrong heir, he would plant a bad result for the world. Therefore, although the first generation Xiqu chose the heir and recognized him as the demon king, he never passed on the most important symbol of the demon king, that is, the Prajna Crystal. The second generation Xiqu is also a rhino monster, only over one hundred years old. It was a time when he was young and vigorous and had extremely strong plasticity. The first generation Xiqu took six years to test him. So far, everything he did did did not disappoint the first generation Xiqu. So, the first generation Xiqu decided to give him an ultimate test. If he could get rid of a demon king with his own hands, he would officially give him the Prajna Crystal."

"It's reasonable." Yu Xiangdi said thoughtfully, "Then, how dare you ask Master, why do you tell us all this in front of so many people today?"

"Because, some terrible things are happening." Huiyuan said in a straight voice, "Just a while ago, the first generation of Xiqu got news that the demon world had found the whereabouts of the Demon King Ge Duo. Hanba personally rushed to Kunlun Mountain and transported the huge stone sealing Ge Duo to Dunhuang, waiting for Ge Duo to be reborn. At that time, what Xiqu will encounter in Gansu is really hard to predict. I will tell you everything today, and it is precisely hope that no matter what the result of Xiqu traveling westward, all the heroes must be mentally prepared."

After hearing this, Su Sanniang suddenly recalled the horror scene she encountered in Kunlun Cave in her mind. She couldn't help but tremble in her heart and said excitedly: "What? The huge rock that sealed the Broken Pagoda has been found? Moreover, it will be so much earlier than the expected awakening time!"

"Yes, as long as the seal is lifted, Ge Duo will wake up soon." Huiyuan shook his head and said, "Born in distress, die in happiness. The world enjoys 150 years of peace. Even the purifying messengers in the world no longer pursue excellence and diligence because of this peace. However, they do not think that the reason why the great demon kings rarely cause trouble in the world over the years is not to stick to themselves, but they are just keeping their own minds and preparing for the rest of the world. Once Ge Duo wakes up, the strength of the demon world will return to the top, and a bloody storm will be set off in the world."

At this time, it was almost noon, and the thick fog around gradually dissipated. The outline of Shaolin Temple and the distant mountains was gradually visible, and another solemn sound of bells rang out.

Looking at the shocked people, Huiyuan also understood that it was a bit difficult for these young people to digest so much information, so he smiled kindly and said, "Amitabha, after saying so much, it is the most important thing to cure the child's illness. Are you hungry? I'll prepare some lunch now. It's a big deal, and you have to fill your stomach before you can deal with it, haha." After saying that, he ordered Yu Xiangdi, "Ziyu, the fog has receded a lot, so you can take these friends to visit and visit the Shaolin Temple. In a while, I will send the prescription and the introduction letter from Donor Su."

“Yes, Master.”

After seeing Huiyuan off, Yu Xiangdi became the owner of the place. He immediately showed a relaxed expression on his face and smiled at everyone: "To be honest, it was the first time I heard these things from my master today. But, although my eyes cannot see, my mind is extremely clear. Even if the master doesn't say it, I have a premonition that our trip to Henan will not be that simple, hehe."

"Come on, you, Zhuge Liang afterwards." Pu Zixuan teased, then gently punched Yu Xiangdi on the back and said loudly, "Let us lead the way and see how you Shaolin Temple practice. After hearing the abbot's words just now, I am a little stimulated now, and I wish I could immediately practice into a powerful purifying messenger to remove those droughts and Ge Duo."

Yu Xiangdi gave Pu Zixuan a blank look and asked, "Let me ask first, how did you practice in the Fairy Sword Hall?"

Pu Zixuan said proudly: "Practice everything, swordsmanship, breath, especially Master Zhu, who gave me the ancestral "Juemai Heart Sutra", which was the result of the Breaking Feng Balong Fist and Balong Hunyuan Po, haha."

Yu Xiangdi smiled and said, "Then, here, you may be disappointed."

Not long after, Yu Xiangdi brought four people to a spacious courtyard. Accompanied by rhythmic shouts, nearly a hundred strong monks were lined up in a rectangular matrix, holding wooden sticks, and neatly gestured various moves. The momentum was like a rainbow, which was breathtaking.

At this time, the fog had dissipated and all the monks were in sight. Of course, Pu Zixuan and his group also entered the other party's visual range, but few people looked at this side.

"There are 200 monks in Shaolin Temple, and they are divided into two classes of practice every day. Most of these people are like me, and are of the Zi generation. Also, you see, this is the traditional Shaolin stick method. Judging from the wind words conveyed by their tricks, it should be the Liuhe stick method." Yu Xiangdi stopped, and while savoring, he introduced.

At this time, Zhu Yuanliang, who had not spoken before, suddenly became excited and patted Pu Zixuan on the shoulder and said, "Hey, do you remember that when we were practicing martial arts in the Lijiang Martial Arts Hall, a master taught us this set of stick techniques. It seems that it is time to jump up at this moment."

As they were talking, all the monks jumped up in unison, shouted loudly, and smashed the wooden stick towards the ground, making a uniform striking sound.

Zhu Yuanliang was excited and said, "Look, I really jumped up. It turns out that this set of stick methods originated from Shaolin Temple!"

Yu Xiangdi smiled and said, "Haha, Zhu Xianfeng, since you have practiced, can you be more professional? This is called 'jumping step and chopping stick'! It's so much like a layman, and you're not afraid of losing your master's face."

Pu Zixuan stood on Zhu Yuanliang's side and rescued the siege: "To be honest, I have no interest in stick techniques. My Pu family used to be a weapon merchant. I have forged all kinds of weapons. Look at those Fangtian painting halberds and the serpents of the twelve styles. One is a match for the other. Only that stick is I really don't like it."

"Hahaha, Pu Zixuan, you rely too much on your eyes and senses. This will be your karma for practice." Yu Xiangdi said disdainfully, "Although I am the master of swordsmanship, Shaolin stick technique is the basis of all martial arts in the world. I have practiced a lot. Do you know that Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general in the Ming Dynasty, said: 'If you can know stick technique, then the other tools will be obtained from then on.' In addition, the "Sword Sutra" written by Yu Dayou is a work that achieves the great success of stick technique, and is also praised by Qi Jiguang as the "Eternal Secret"?"

Pu Zixuan suddenly realized the difference between the two from Yu Xiangdi's words. He didn't dare to say much, so he smiled awkwardly: "But, I really admire your 'golden bell cover iron cloth shirt'. Those wooden sticks hit people not only cause any harm, but can also break the wooden sticks. If I can learn this trick within twenty days, it will be worth this trip."
