Kong Wen, Kong Zhi, Zhang Wuji, and the others bowed to ship them off. The Golden-Haired Lion King’s identify shook the Jianghu thirty years in the past by doing numerous deeds which offended the entire society. Right now he entered the empty gate, there wasn’t anybody among the many crowd of heroes who didn’t sigh with blended emotions. Zhang Wuji’s coronary heart was crammed with pleasure blended with sorrow.

Kong Wen mentioned, “The presence of the heroes has brightened our humble Temple. We’re ashamed that there was a sudden change within the Temple that we have now offended many individuals and weren’t capable of carry out our obligation because the host. The heroes from all around the world have gathered right here. We have no idea once we will meet once more. Due to this fact, we wish to invite you all to remain in our Temple for just a few extra days.”

The gang of heroes went down the height to enter the Temple. Shaolin Temple ready vegetarian banquet for the visitors. The monks instantly carried out a spiritual ceremony on behalf of the heroes who had been unlucky to lose their lives in the course of the nice meeting. One after the other the group of heroes additionally provided sacrifices to specific their condolences.

Because the necessary issues had been resolved, there remained many unclear companies in Zhang Wuji’s coronary heart. Since Xie Xun left in a rush, he didn’t have time to inquire about doubts and suspicions troubling his coronary heart. He solely had a sense that the important thing to this thriller was considerably associated to Zhou Zhiruo. Serious about their former relationship, he felt that he didn’t have to scrutinize every part and thus injury her popularity.

After dinner, Zhang Wuji visited Shi Hongshi and the Beggar Clan elders on the western chambers to debate necessary issues inside the Beggar Clan. All of a sudden a Ming Cult disciple rushed in with a report, “Jiaozhu, the Wudang Zhang Si Xia [fourth hero Zhang] has arrived. He has an necessary matter to debate with you.”

Zhang Wuji was startled, “Might or not it’s that Tai Shifu has met some mishaps?” He rapidly went out and walked towards the primary corridor.

He knelt down in entrance of Zhang Songxi, however didn’t see something totally different on his expression, thereupon he felt relieved. “Is Tai Shifu effectively?” he requested.

“Shifu is effectively,” Zhang Songxi replied, “At Mount Wudang I acquired data that the Yuan cavalry, twenty thousand sturdy, is heading to the course of Shaolin Temple. Clearly, they don’t have good intentions towards the Heroes Meeting. Due to this fact, I come right here in the midst of the evening to tell you.”

“We should let Fangzhang know as quickly as attainable,” Zhang Wuji mentioned. Two males instantly went to the rear courtyard and knowledgeable Kong Wen.

Kong Wen thought for a second. “This matter implicates plenty of issues; we should focus on it with the group of heroes.” Thereupon he ordered a monk to sound the alarm, inviting all people to the Da Xiong Bao Dian.

As quickly as they had been alerted, the group of heroes mentioned the matter at hand. The new-blooded amongst them mentioned, “Whereas the heroes from all around the world collect right here, allow us to go down the mountain to catch them off guard and slaughter them.”

The extra skilled amongst them mentioned, “The Yuan military is at all times on the transfer. Maybe that is certainly one of their routine relocation operations. They won’t essentially come to present us bother.”

Zhang Songxi mentioned, “I perceive Mongolians; I heard it with my very own ears the Tatar officer ordering his troops to assault the Shaolin Temple.”

By that point, the Mongolians had been occupying the Central Plains for greater than 100 years; the variety of Han individuals who perceive Mongolian language was not small. Zhang Songxi was clever and skilled; he understood a substantial variety of dialects from totally different cities and villages, and was fairly fluent in Mongolian.

“Gents Heroes,” Kong Wen mentioned, “It seems that the imperial court docket has came upon about our meeting in right here, and so they determined our assembly will not be helpful to the imperial court docket, and thus they dispatch a military to suppress us. We’re all martial artwork practitioners, and we’re not afraid of the Tatars. We’re prepared to deal with something, we’ll resist by no matter means accessible, we …” He had not completed his speech when some individuals began cheering and clapping.

Kong Wen continued, “Nevertheless, we’re Jianghu’s warriors who’re accustomed to combat one on one; if not utilizing a blade or fists and kicks, then utilizing inside power and secret projectiles. We’re not specialists in preventing on horseback or utilizing lengthy spear and double-ended lance. In Laoseng’s opinion; how in regards to the heroes go down the mountain and disband?”

The gang of heroes checked out one another in silence. Zhang Wuji mentioned, “If we go down and disband, first, the Tatars would suppose we’re afraid of them and we’ll unavoidably crush the spirit of the individuals. Second, what is going to occur to the masters within the Shaolin Temple?”

Kong Wen smiled and mentioned, “If the Yuan military come to the Temple and solely see a bunch of monks and never Jianghu warriors, they will surely depart us alone. That is known as ‘arrive in excessive spirit, return in disappointment.'”

The gang of warriors knew that Kong Wen mentioned this out of his good intention. The gang of heroes was invited by Shaolin Pai; in fact they didn’t need their visitors to face catastrophe and shed their blood on the Shaoshi Peak. However this crowd of heroes was all individuals of braveness and uprightness; they’d not flinch in entrance of the enemy, naturally, they had been unwilling to go away. Apart from, the imperial authorities had already dispatched their troops. They merely wouldn’t return empty-handed. They’d positively bother the Shaolin Temple. More than likely, they’d kill most monks and seize the remainder, after which they’d most likely burn the Temple down. The Mongolian troopers had been well-known of their brutality; killing and burning weren’t international to them.

Yang Xiao mentioned, “The Tatars kill with out mercy. It’s the obligation of all Han individuals to combat the enemy. In my humble opinion, we have now no different selection however to combat. We should battle them someplace else in order that this thousand-year historical Temple will probably be spared of the disaster of warfare.”

The gang of heroes applauded in settlement. “Let or not it’s so,” they mentioned.

Once they had been nonetheless speaking, from exterior the gate all of a sudden got here the sound of hoof beats; two riders galloped close to. The horses stopped with a neigh exterior the door. Two males, ushered by the monk accountable for customer reception entered the corridor in a rush. As quickly as the group of heroes noticed the riders’ garments, they knew these males had been Ming Cult disciples.

The 2 males walked earlier than Zhang Wuji, bowed in salute and certainly one of them reported, “Reporting to Jiaozhu: Tatar vanguard military of 5 thousand troops has arrived to assault Shaolin Temple. They are saying the Shifus within the Temple are gathering a crowd to insurgent, so they’re right here to flatten Shaolin. All shiny … shiny …”

Kong Wen smiled and mentioned, “You had been about to say ‘shiny head monks’, weren’t you? These phrases usually are not taboo. Please proceed.”

The person mentioned, “Alongside the best way, the Tatars have killed many monks. The Tatars say: ‘Shiny heads usually are not good individuals, these with hair are additionally not good individuals; all of them deserved to be put to loss of life by the blade.'”

Lots of people raised their voices, all of them mentioned, “If we do not combat a life and lifeless battle towards the Tatars, we’re ashamed to be the descendants of the Yellow Emperor.”

Though by that point the Track dynasty had been subjugated by international energy for nearly 100 years, the mainstream heroes and warriors had at all times thought-about Mongolians troopers and officers as barbarians. They had been unwilling to be the foreigners’ topics. This time listening to how the Mongolian troops went on a killing spree, their blood boiled and all people needed to go to battle.
