After a moment.
Everyone felt that although Liu Xiaojiang was very strong, much stronger than anyone present, it was not exaggerated to the extent that he could crush Ding Chang 'an and gain the trust of most of the legendary figures in a short time.
The reason why Liu Xiaojiang could join the company definitely had nothing to do with Quan Xing. After joining the company, all his actions were within the company's sight, so he basically did not have time to mingle with Quan Xing.
Moreover …
Even if Liu Xiaojiang's whereabouts were sometimes unknown, there were only a few days where he did not know where he was. In such a short period of time, it was impossible to gain the trust of all the legendary figures and let them support him to become the head of the sect.
Little did they know that …
Liu Xiaojiang had never broken his contact with Quan Xing since Mount Longhu. Before this, he had more or less met the legendary figures of Quan Xing other than Ding Chang 'an …
But these people were right about one thing. He was indeed not the sect leader of Quan Xing yet. Previously, when Shen Chong informed him, he only said that he was the acting sect leader. After that, he would have the right to gather all the members to do something.
The rules of Quan Xing were there. In order to become the sect leader of Quan Xing, even if he did not have to gain the recognition of everyone, he must gain the recognition of the majority. Otherwise, he could only be the so-called acting sect leader.
As for why there was news that he had become the sect leader …
Liu Xiaojiang was actually not that surprised about this. Thinking about it, he knew that the 'acting sect leader' was far less important than the 'sect leader', and it was not enough to attract the attention of all the Mutants in the circle.
After all, there were countless acting sect leaders, and the sect leader of Quan Xing …
Other than Yao Guangxiao, it seemed that the most famous one was the Rootless Sheng. The other fellows who did not cause any waves were not taken seriously by the Inhuman circle.
But the bad thing was, before Wu Gen Sheng became the all-rounded Headmaster, the position of the all-rounded Headmaster had been vacant for many years. After he became the Headmaster, he did so many 'evil things', and in the eyes of the world, it was inseparable from the 'Rebellion of the Jia Shen' and the 'Eight Strange Techniques'.
As a result, when the all-rounded Sect Master was mentioned, the other Outsiders would think of 'rootless life', 'Chaos of Jia Shen', and 'Eight Strange Techniques'. Thus, they would naturally pay great attention to the person who became the all-rounded Sect Master.
Liu Xiaojiang guessed that this kind of 'attention' was the main reason why Quan Xing spread fake news.
This was nothing more than a test to see if he could withstand the enormous pressure from the outside world and deal with the comprehensive problem as he had said.
If he could withstand it and was willing to become the Sect Leader and continue to gain the trust and recognition of everyone, then it would be easier for him to become the true Sect Leader in the future.
If he couldn't withstand it and didn't do as he said under such strong pressure to provide help to all the members who were willing to turn back, then it would be impossible for him to become the true all-rounded Sect Leader in the truest sense …
This was not a conspiracy, it was just a 'test'.
Liu Xiaojiang didn't dislike the people of Quan Xing for doing this. He even felt that if they believed him easily, they were either perfunctory about this matter, or they didn't care about what he had to do and didn't want to find the real path under his arrangements.
This seemingly calculated situation was the real reason why he was in a good mood before he came here.
At this moment …
Thud …
There was a clear sound of footsteps coming from inside the cave.
"They're here!" Black Pipe immediately got up from the ground and looked at the cave door with a slightly surprised expression. Then, he looked at Zhang Chulan beside him and said with a smile,
"Don't tell me you've really won the treasure?"
At this time, hearing the sound, everyone also got up and walked to the cave door, patiently waiting for the people inside to come out. Only Liu Xiaojiang had some doubts and puzzlement on his face.
Then …
Two figures gradually appeared in the shadows of the cave door.
One was wearing an orange monk robe. He was short and thin. He looked like an old monk.
The other was wearing light gray cotton clothes. He was tall and bloated. He was about 40 years old. When he walked, it was obvious that he was an old monk.
The two monks walked out of Shandong unhurriedly and stopped not far from the crowd.
Elder Meng couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this. "This is …"
"Why is this person here?" Black Pipe stood in front of the crowd and frowned in surprise.
"This is the abbot of the Lingyin Temple — Master Jie Kong."
"And his eldest disciple — Monk Bao Wen."
After saying that, he immediately took the initiative to welcome him and said, "Master Jie Kong, why are you here?"
"Everyone is from the company, right …" The old monk looked at the crowd and smiled. "Don't you know why I'm here?"
"… No, how many years have you practiced? Can't you see that there's something fishy here?" Black Pipe explained respectfully.
"Of course there must be something fishy …" The old monk put his left hand together in front of his chest and lowered his head.
"So I contacted President Zhao immediately. Although he didn't say it clearly, he already explained to me that this is a non-existent matter."
After saying that, the old monk raised his head and looked at Black Pipe with a smile.
"However, I'm still worried. I have to come and take a look myself. After all, it concerns the lives of some children. I have to be careful …"
On the other side …
Liu Xiaojiang, Zhang Chulan, and Feng Bao Bao stood at the back of the crowd.
"Who is this old monk?" Zhang Chulan asked in confusion.
"… You really don't pay attention to anything," Liu Xiaojiang said helplessly.
"Didn't Black Pipe just say that this is Master Jie Kong of the Lingyin Temple? Oh right … You might understand now. He is also one of the Ten Brothers — Shaolin's Master Jie Kong."
"Ten Brothers?!" Zhang Chulan immediately looked at the old monk in surprise.
"Don't look anymore." Liu Xiaojiang reminded, "I know what you're thinking. I heard that Master Jie Kong was once an extremely powerful monk, but now all his methods have been crippled. He can no longer be considered a mutant."
"The Ten Brothers were crippled?!" Zhang Chulan was even more puzzled. "By whom?"
This time …
Liu Xiaojiang thought about the things he had investigated through Er Zhuang and couldn't help but be silent for a moment. Then, he pointed to Xiao Zizai, who was not far away, and whispered,
"By your brother Xiao."
Hearing this …
Zhang Chulan was stunned. Then, he looked at the two monks not far away and found that the big monk was looking at Xiao Zizai with murderous intent. He couldn't help but frown slowly.
"Brother Liu, what's going on? Isn't brother Xiao from the company? How could the company cripple the Ten Brothers? And I remember you once said that brother Xiao was originally from Shaolin, right?"
"Yes." Liu Xiaojiang looked at monk Bao Wen calmly and explained in a low voice,
"Not only that, he is also Master Jie Kong's disciple and that monk Bao Wen's junior brother. But perhaps it is because of this identity … that it is possible for him to cripple his own master."
"After all, I once heard that Master Jie Kong is a real monk. In his life, he has enlightened many people who have good intentions but have taken the wrong path. In the eyes of the world, he has the heart of a Bodhisattva. It is not strange that he wants to save brother Xiao."
"However …"
Liu Xiaojiang looked at Xiao Zizai, who was standing not far behind the black monk and smiling at monk Bao Wen. He shook his head and said,
"You also know that once brother Xiao's illness acts up, his human nature is simply too simple."
"Back then, in order to suppress his temperament, brother Xiao went to the Lingyin Temple to worship Master Jie Kong. In the end, after his temperament gradually stabilized, Master Jie Kong might have seen that he was a good seedling for Qi cultivation, so out of some kindness, he taught him the Shaolin cultivation method …"
"In the end …"
"I don't know why brother Xiao did this. Perhaps he was too eager for quick success and instant benefits. He also made a mistake in his cultivation. He did have strength, but it once again triggered the problem of his extreme desire to kill. In the end, he went berserk … and injured many disciples of the Lingyin Temple."
"It is said that after brother Xiao was taken down, the monks in the temple strongly advocated that this evil person should be eliminated. However, only Master Jie Kong could not bear to do so and still planned to save him from the sea of suffering. And then … you have seen it now."
"The dignified Ten Brothers, the eminent monk of the Shaolin Temple, the abbot of the Lingyin Temple, because he only wanted to enlighten and could not bear to hurt the disciples, all his means were crippled, and he was completely reduced to an ordinary person …"
As soon as he finished speaking …
Liu Xiaojiang looked again at Xiao Zizai, who had his back facing the three of them. He did not lower his voice.
"Now, brother Xiao can be considered to be killing to stop killing. He can be regarded as the angry Vajra of Buddhism. But in the future … it's hard to say whether he will be a Buddha or a Devil."
"Whoa whoa whoa …" The old monk was not far from the crowd. Even if an ordinary person listened carefully, they could hear everything Liu Xiaojiang said. So he smiled and looked at Liu Xiaojiang. Then, he looked at the silent Xiao Zizai and said with a smile, "Bao Bao, did you hear that?
"Baojing, did you hear that? I have put in a lot of effort for you."
"…" Xiao Zizai.
