Chapter 590: 0482: The monks line up in front of the Scripture Pavilion, not knowing where the expert is located?_2

Only the sound of running water was heard, and a pavilion stood beside a mountain stream.

A plaque hung at the top of the pavilion, boldly inscribed with the words "Scripture Pavilion."

The three men slowed their pace as they arrived.

For outside the Scripture Pavilion, at the moment, sat four monks cross-legged with over a hundred Arhat Hall monks holding staves standing solemnly behind them, a clear sign of strict vigilance.

"I hadn’t expected these Shaolin monks to be so clever, knowing that Shaolin is vulnerable today, thus specifically leaving quite a few experts to guard this vital area."

Xiao Yuanshan saw that their presence had been noticed and chuckled shaking his head coldly.

Jiang Dali peered across at the pavilion standing by the stream, hands clasped behind his back as he walked calmly out of the woods, he marveled, "All Martial Arts under the sky stem from Shaolin, but the Shaolin Martial Arts originated right here in this Scripture Pavilion.

This Scripture Pavilion was also meticulously constructed, the building is situated by the water, away from other structures, even if a fire breaks out in the temple, it will not destroy the invaluable scriptures inside, and this building must surely be made of fireproof materials."

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Just then, one of the four seated monks slowly rose, his majestic and large body immediately emitting an oppressive force almost tangible, with his palms showing thick calluses he brought his hands together in front of him towards Jiang Dali and the other two, and sighed.

"We monks guard here due to the unusual circumstances today, taking precautions before anything happens, yet we did not expect unanticipated guests to visit today. You must be the Black Wind Village Chief Master Jiang?"

The robust monk’s expression was grave as he stared at the calm and composed Jiang Dali, then turned his head to look at Xiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan.

"As for the other two, you must be the former Gang Leader Mr. Xiao and his venerable father Master Xiao?"

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Xiao Feng also brought his hands together, solemnly saying, "Indeed, I am Xiao Feng. My visit here, accompanying Master Jiang, is not for the many scriptures within the Shaolin Scripture Pavilion, so the masters here can be at ease."

"Oh?"

"Since it’s not for the supreme skills contained within our Shaolin Scripture Pavilion that you have come, what brings the three of you here?"

"Today, Shaolin has faced humiliation, and you three masters are also involved. If there is nothing pressing, please leave our temple swiftly, to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings!"

The other three old monks sitting on the ground, all appearing to be in their sixties or seventies, advised in turn.

Jiang Dali smiled faintly, only then glancing sideways at the four monks.

His gaze lingered on the slightly golden-toned skin of the robust monk and he calmly said, "I surmise this must be Master Kong Jian who has cultivated the Vajra Unbreakable Zen Skill to Great Success.

As for the others, would they happen to be Masters Du E, Du Nan, and Du Jie?

Unexpectedly, today Shaolin has summoned you four along with the 108 Arhat Hall disciples to set up the Arhat Formation for defense here.

Nevertheless... actually, without you, the Scripture Pavilion would still be safe.

Over the years, that predecessor from Shaolin has always guarded the Scripture Pavilion, it appears that even you do not know of this."

"Hmm?"

The four monks, upon hearing this, were all taken aback.

Master Kong Jian chanted a Buddhist mantra, "Amitabha Buddha, we rarely travel out in the Martial World, but Master Jiang recognized us at a glance, indeed the intelligence network of Black Wind Village is formidable.

However, the predecessor you mentioned, who has always guarded the Scripture Pavilion, may I know which of our temple’s venerable experts you are referring to?"

Jiang Dali chuckled, "I’ve never met this venerable expert myself, but this village chief indeed knows he exists, hence I specifically came up the mountain today hoping to meet this great person from your temple."

The four monks looked at each other.

Even the 108 Arhat monks guarding in front of the Scripture Pavilion appeared doubtful and surprised.

Du E asked, "Master Jiang, since you have never met this venerable expert, how do you know of his existence? Could it be that he is known in the Martial World for some deeds? Or does he have some unique features?"

Jiang Dali surveyed his surroundings, only to see the Scripture Pavilion surrounded by verdant mountains and clear waters, without a single fallen branch or leaf on the ground, nor any sign of a sweeping monk. He could not help but express his astonishment, "As far as I know, your monastery’s esteemed elder expert should be an ordinary sweeping monk well over a hundred years old, likely with white eyebrows and hair. Do any of you have an impression of him?"

Du Nan, upon hearing this, was greatly surprised, "Indeed, our monastery has a few sweeping monks who are over the age of sixty. However, aged monks are not assigned such duties at this stage in their lives; they usually remain inside the monastery, immersed in studying Buddhism without engaging in mundane tasks. Master Jiang, you must be mistaken."

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Kongjian, with hands clasped, bowed, "Our monastery does not have such a unique elder expert. To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, please, Master Jiang, you and your companions should return quickly."

"Ha ha ha."

Xiao Yuanshan laughed heartily, shaking his head at Jiang Dali, "Master Jiang, I told you before, there definitely isn’t such an elder expert as a Sweeping Monk in the Scripture Pavilion, yet you didn’t believe me. Do you believe it now?"

Xiao Feng also glanced at Jiang Dali but chose not to probe further, avoiding any damage to Jiang Dali’s dignity.

Yet Jiang Dali simply laughed it off, "Since I have come today, I won’t leave easily without seeing the Sweeping Monk."

His words caused a sudden shift in the monks’ expressions.

Du E’s expression darkened, he snorted, "It seems today that you, Master Jiang, are indeed determined to be a troublesome guest. I suppose this Sweeping Monk is nothing but a fabrication of yours, and your actual purpose is aimed at our Shaolin Scripture Pavilion."

"Although Shaolin Martial Arts is renowned throughout the Martial World, and my own training also has certain connections to Shaolin, I truly have no interest in your Shaolin Scripture Pavilion."

Jiang Dali chuckled lightly, then suddenly strode forward with vigorous steps.

His momentum slowly surged, his gaze emitting an intimidating cold light, he looked at all the monks calmly.

"Since the Sweeping Monk does not wish to come out, I do not want to leave with nothing today. I will become a troublemaker for once, seeking advice from your Shaolin’s four Divine Monks about their skills, and to test if the Arhat Formation is truly as formidable as the legends say!!"

At these words, Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Feng’s expressions also subtly changed.

Both of them felt a great indebtedness to Jiang Dali.

In this situation, even though they felt it was inappropriate, they could not intervene and thus only prepared for a formidable battle.

"Amitabha Buddha! Master Jiang, your hostility is excessive; this monk will spar with you!"

Kongjian’s eyes sparkled with intense brightness as he slowly stepped towards Jiang Dali.

Whir-whir-whir—

His saffron monk robes billowed as if inflated by rising Qi Force, overwhelming and forceful momentum along with his skin turning golden swiftly condensed.

"Ha!"

He suddenly bellowed, his body abruptly moved, muscles and bones erupted like thunder, resembling a fully drawn bow, and he pounced forward like a wolf.

Boom!—

The solid ground under his feet suddenly cracked.

Kongjian’s body quickly reached beside Jiang Dali, his left fist swung, and the air vibrated with a sharp spiraling Qi Force that fiercely aimed for the weakest part of the shoulder armor on Jiang Dali.

"Form the formation!!"

Du E, Du Nan, and Du Jie, the three Divine Monks also shouted, suddenly wielding long black whips in their hands...
