Chapter 126
"!!!"
Hearing Xingchi personally admit this bad news, for a moment, Sect Leader Xiao only felt his legs go soft, almost sitting on the ground.
If there were no bystanders, he would really lie on the ground and cry bitterly.
Others might not be as heartbroken as him, but they also changed color one after another.
Li Miao couldn't help but sigh.
He had just started walking the Wu Lin and had only seen Xingchi's deeds in the Embroidered Uniform Guard's files; his feelings were not as deep as the Wu Lin people's. But after getting along for these few days, he also sincerely liked this hearty old monk.
The reason he put aside the Ming Cult affair and stayed here for three days, besides avoiding the suspicion of killing Wan Tianzong, was also because he sincerely wanted to send this high monk on his final journey.
"I'll do it."
Having said this, Li Miao stepped forward, nodded to Yongjie, and took Xingchi's hand.
Immediately, he perfected the second path of the realm in front of everyone.
In an instant, his green hair turned to snow and draped down.
"Atom," "Mount Sumeru."
With the absolute mastery of the atom and the vast Qi of Mount Sumeru, he poured directly into Xingchi's pulse gate.
Sect Leader Xiao on the side saw Li Miao's strange appearance and exclaimed in shock.
"You, what are you doing!?"
Because Li Miao's situation really didn't look like any righteous Wu Gong, but rather like some evil art.
He was about to come forward, but heard Xingchi let out a long sigh.
"Ha——"
Then his expression relaxed quite a bit, and he turned to look at Li Miao.
"Hero Li, thank you. The monk is not in pain anymore."
Li Miao shook his head and smiled.
"Master, aren't we friends? A friend is about to go on a long journey, I came to see him off, why do I need to say thank you or not?"
This sentence of his actually revealed the truth.
According to the previously set statement, Yongjie met Li Miao outside, and then they separated on the way back to Shaolin. After returning to Shaolin, knowing Xingchi was about to enter Nirvana and wanted to pass on his skills to him, in a rush, they couldn't find anyone with high enough Wu Gong to protect him, so they recommended Li Miao.
And Li Miao had just arrived at Shaolin today and shouldn't have known Xingchi. Calling him a friend actually exposed the fact that they had met.
But, Li Miao didn't want to think too much today.
Seeing Xingchi off, he didn't want to mix his own affairs in and say some insincere words.
"Then I'll trouble Hero Li; the monk also wants to leave more easily."
Xingchi didn't try to be brave at all.
Shaolin's temple protection methods were mostly passed down by Bodhidharma, and Li Miao couldn't break them.
But, after perfecting the second path of the realm, Li Miao forcibly collapsed Xingchi's Qi with his own Qi, and then built a set of cycles in his body composed of Li Miao's Qi.
Thus, although as long as Li Miao let go, Xingchi would die immediately. But before Li Miao let go, Xingchi no longer had to endure the pain.
Xingchi turned around, faced the crowd, and spoke slowly.
"The monk only has three days, time is tight. Thank you all for rushing here; the monk thanks you all first."
Having said this, he held one hand in front of his chest and bowed to the crowd.
"The monk has three things today that I would like to ask you all to witness."
"The first thing, the monk wants to introduce two people to you all first."
Xingchi gestured and led everyone to look at Yongjie.
"This is my inferior disciple, dharma name Yongjie. Today after I enter Nirvana, he will inherit the position of Shaolin abbot."
Everyone looked over, and many had doubts in their hearts.
"This Master Yongjie, I have never heard his name, why is he so familiar?"
But today was Xingchi's major event, no one opened their mouth, only listening quietly to Xingchi continue.
"This one helping the monk is the second person the monk wants to introduce to you all."
"Li Miao, Hero Li."
Everyone looked sideways at Li Miao.
The strange phenomenon of Li Miao's green hair turning to snow just now had already shocked many people. Looking closely now, it made people marvel at the strange phenomenon of a strange person.
With Xingchi's endorsement, no one would doubt Li Miao's evil art.
Xingchi continued.
"Hero Li was practicing Wu Gong in the temple before, and also started walking the Wu Lin a few months ago."
"But, his skills are shocking to the world. In terms of Wu Gong, the monk should also bow to Hero Li as a disciple."
These words were very heavy.
Although Xingchi said the premise was in terms of Wu Gong. But with his status and status, bowing to a person in his thirties as a disciple was simply unimaginable condescension.
He was borrowing his own reputation to pave a road for Li Miao.
Once these words came out, when the people present dispersed into the Wu Lin, Li Miao's reputation in the Wu Lin would directly reach the level of Ji Tianrui and Xingchi.
Li Miao lowered his voice and said to Xingchi.
"Master, you know I have trouble on my back, right?"
"If the imperial court turns against me in the future, your reputation will also be implicated."
Xingchi smiled.
"No matter, the monk also has his own thoughts."
"The monk knows that Master Li and the monk are not on the same path."
This point was undeniable; Li Miao and Xingchi both knew this well.
In Li Miao's view, cause and effect circulate, self-inflicted, doing things and paying debts, regardless of your age. If he had encountered Sect Leader Xiao's matter back then, he wouldn't have taken it to heart at all.
Although he would also save people, Li Miao probably would never do the kind of self-sacrificing thing Xingchi did in his entire life. Li Miao never felt he was a good person, just doing things as he pleased. If he saved someone, he didn't need gratitude; if he killed someone, he didn't care about hatred.
It could only be said that fortunately, Li Miao had a previous life, and his three views had long been formed. If he were a seven or eight-year-old boy, knowing clearly at the beginning of practicing Wu Gong that he would be invincible in the world, he might have become an enhanced version of Zuo Lishan.
Because of this, Li Miao could guess some of Xingchi's thoughts.
He was putting a rope on Li Miao.
With Li Miao's Wu Gong, even now, no one could stop him from doing anything in the Wu Lin.
Xingchi's move was not only to raise Li Miao's name with his own reputation, but also a shackle.
If Li Miao did any evil in the future, Xingchi's reputation would also be damaged.
If Li Miao still cared about him as a friend, he would be slightly less ruthless in doing things in the future.
Of course, paying Li Miao benefits in advance without giving Li Miao any restrictions, only looking at whether Li Miao still cared about him as a friend. Xingchi's move didn't look like a transaction at all, but more like a silent request.
Li Miao smiled but didn't make a sound.
Xingchi's heart was good, but he thought too much.
Li Miao recognized Xingchi as a person, not his path. Li Miao had his own path to walk and would not deviate because of anyone.
Xingchi didn't say much more, looked at the crowd, and continued.
"Hero Li came to help today, Shaolin should thank Hero Li."
Having said this, he led the Shaolin disciples and bowed to Li Miao.
After today, Li Miao would be famous throughout the world.
