Shifo Temple is located in the west of Wuchang City. It was built during the reign of Emperor Taizong of this dynasty and has been around for more than 70 years.

In the early years, Shifo Temple was considered to be incense. In Wuchang, most of the believers from all over the country came to worship and worship, and naturally brought the temple to a prosperous career.

However, since the locust plague last year, ordinary people have not even had food and clothing, which naturally affected the incense of the temple. At this time, the abbot of Shifo Temple did something that greatly damaged the reputation of Buddhism. He secretly issued a seal of money for the property in the temple, that is, usury to the affected people, and gained more benefits. This really completely ruined his reputation for many years.

Since the incident was exposed, the Shifo Temple suddenly became depressed, almost cutting off all incense, and now it has almost become an empty shell. And the hundreds of monks in the temple were only a dozen, and most of them were old monks who were old and difficult to leave. Even the former abbot of the culprit had brought a lot of money and didn't know where to go to have fun.

This deserted temple, which is usually not seen, has many people come to this afternoon at the end of July. Among them are merchants who are dressed in bright clothes and look extraordinary, as well as men in tight clothes and bulging waists, obviously hidden weapons. After entering the temple, these people quickly occupied some important positions. Then, a few more people came late and entered the temple directly. They met in front of the seemingly dilapidated Main Hall.

Seeing that they were indeed coming as planned, a trace of splendor flashed in Shangguan Ao's eyes, but they quickly disappeared again and walked forward with a smile: "Brother Li is indeed a believer, which is really admirable. But aren't you afraid that I will set up an ambush here and catch you all in one go?"

Li Moyun faced Shangguan Ao and the men who looked and dressed in ordinary people at the sight, and just smiled and said, "I have no malice to Brother Shangguan, but I have made friends with you. This sincerity is always something you have to take out. These are brother Shangguan, you are friends who are traveling with you. They are extraordinary, can you give me some recommendations?"

"This... isn't it necessary. Haven't you found out that I have all the identities?" Shangguan Ao stepped forward with a smile and said without hesitation.

Li Moyun also narrowed his eyes slightly: "I have some other people under my control. As for everyone, please forgive me for being stupid. I really can't recognize who you are." As he said that, he glanced at Shangguan Ao again, "It seems that Brother Shangguan, your sincerity does not seem to be very enough. I have clearly agreed to call the other people together, and everyone is discussing joining my Holy Church, why are they not showing up now?"

"Haha, Brother Li, you really have a lot of eyesight..." Shangguan Ao puffed out his palms twice, and he stopped telling lies after being Mingren. "I'm going to tell you, my friends are not very at ease with you Luo Tian Sect after all..."

"What are you worried about? Isn't our sincerity enough? If you really want to be enemies with you, I'm afraid you won't be here today."

"No, you misunderstood. I am not referring to the fear that you really complain to the government about what you do, but I am not at ease with the current strength of your Luotian Sect. I have heard that you were defeated in Xiangfan this time and suffered heavy losses. Even the elders, guardians and other important figures in the sects have been turned in. They say that the great damage to the energy is light. How can such Luotian Sect convince us and be willing to join in and work with you?" Shangguan Ao said, and then glanced at the four or five men standing behind Li Moyun, with disdain on their faces.

Li Moyun snorted: "With your wish, how can you be willing to join my Holy Church?"

Shangguan Ao smiled and said, "It's very simple. Show your strength and let me see that the Luotian Sect is still capable of stirring up the wind and clouds." As he said that, he slapped his hands twice again, and dozens of people emerged from the surrounding area, surrounding the square in front of the Great Hall, naturally including Li Moyun and others.

"Is this going to see the truth under my hands?" Li Moyunhan opened his face, putting his hand on his waist, as if he was about to pull out his sword, "Aren't you afraid that my people will report everything to the yamen?"

"It's just a test. After all, the equal strength of both sides is the key to cooperation, right? Also, I really don't think that it's a wise choice for you Luo Tian Sect to go to the yamen to sue. Between me, a famous businessman in Huguang, and the Luo Tian Sect's traitor, who do you think the government trusts more?"

At this time, Shangguan Ao changed his previous passiveness and became aggressive. His momentum turned up and suppressed the other party. After taking a step back slightly, Li Moyun stared at him and said, "Since that's the case, then let's see your abilities. Take a look!"

"It's very simple. Did you see the palins in the back mountain?" Shangguan Ao turned around and pointed to the stone palins in the back of the temple with some Sheila. "As long as you can get there smoothly, even if you succeed, not only me, but my companions will join you, Luotian Sect. But if you can't even pass this little test, and die in this temple, don't blame us for being merciless."

"It's fair, please ask." Li Moyun was quite calm and made a gesture of invitation, signaling the other party to prepare along the way first. However, Shangguan Ao shook his head: "I won't take action, you just go." After that, he slowly retreated and in a few steps, he had already retreated into the Great Hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, the men around him seemed to receive an order. As they shouted, they suddenly rushed on, and various weapons rushed towards Li Moyun and others from all directions, which meant to remove them from the spot.

Seeing this, the light flashed in Li Moyun's eyes, and there was also a sword light flashing. The sword on his waist had been unsheathed, and cold lights burst out. He fought against the enemy's attack and killed him.

The men who came with him were also masters carefully selected from Baiyi Hall. Even when facing several times of the enemy, they were not afraid at all. Wu hook, short spear, long sword... all kinds of weapons were also displayed, blocking left and right, clashing forward and backward, and immediately fighting with dozens of men.

These men may have some strength, but they still seem to be inadequate compared with the people in front of them. After a few moves, several people fell to the ground. Li Moyun and the others even more seized the flaws and quickly passed by everyone, heading straight towards the back mountain.

Since they bet on whether they could arrive at the Tallinn behind safely, there was no need to get too much trouble. When those men saw this, they shouted and followed them up, and the battlefield changed in a blink of an eye.

Shangguan Ao, who was in the Great Hall, just smiled slightly when he saw this, and did not follow everyone and went back. Instead, he took this opportunity to leave the hall, and then followed the path covered with weeds to the towering wooden tower on the other side, climbed up the stairs, and soon arrived at the highest seventh floor.

At this time, three people on the tower were looking down at the battle situation below. When they heard the footsteps of him climbing the tower, only one of them looked back. This was a fat man with a distorted figure and a pretty fat man with a smile on his face, giving people the feeling of a kind and wealthy businessman.

In fact, this person is just a troupe leader, whose surname is Yao, known as Yao Kuan, and the other two are Cui Wanbao, and the other is a thin and frown middle-aged monk. He is a left-behind monk in this Shifo Temple, whose Dharma name is Guangzhi.

A escort leader, a businessman, a troupe master who travels around the world, and a monk, so no one believes that the four of them will get together. But now, the four of them are really together, and on this high tower, watching the battle below, while communicating with each other.

Shangguan Aoxian said: "How many people look at their strength?"

"It's really not easy. This first layer of defense was broken so easily, especially the one who used the knife first. His hands were really good and he had a very famous style." Yao Kuan said with a smile.

"But the other few are still a little weaker after all, and they are afraid that they will not be able to pass the chaos sword formation later. And Li Moyun alone will definitely not be the opponent of the Wu brothers." Cui Wanbao also said.

Finally, the monk was still looking bitter: "In fact, even if they could pass those barriers, they would still die in the end. We joined forces, and even the great guardians of Luotian Sect may not be able to deal with it, let alone them."

"How is it? I have seen it all around me without any abnormalities, right?" Cui Wanbao asked again.

"No one else comes here except those people. You haven't noticed anything on the high ground, right?" After seeing the few people shaking their heads at the same time, Shangguan Ao finally showed a relaxed smile, "That's good, then here to solve these troubles!"

All this is just for the sake of peace. They never thought about really joining the Luotian Sect, because their resignation to the power of obedience is much more valuable than such evil-sects.

Just as they looked at each other and thought everything would come true, Guangzhi's ears suddenly moved, then turned his body and looked down towards the window on the other side. As he looked, his bitter face suddenly showed a look of surprise: "Where are so many soldiers?"

As he shouted, the others turned their heads and looked to the other side, and then they saw the flags waving below. Thousands of officers and soldiers rushed towards the Shifo Temple like the father of the wave, surrounding the vast temple.
