I'm a villain in the movies and TV series "All Heavens".

Chapter 13 Debating with a Group of Monks
Jue Wu looked at Mo Fei, who was riding out in black armor, with surprise.

When he discovered that the general who had led the army to surround the mountain was none other than Dong Tianbao, whom he had driven out of the temple, his face instantly turned ashen.

While feeling remorseful, he also learned the true cause and effect of the imperial army surrounding Shaolin Temple.

With a chilling voice, he questioned Mo Fei, his anger awakening:
“Dong Tianbao! Although the temple has expelled you, it still owes you a debt of gratitude for raising you from childhood.”

"Not only do you not seek anything in return, but you also repay kindness with enmity by leading troops to surround your sect."

Mo Fei listened with a cold smile to Jue Wu's rebuke before calmly speaking:

"You've changed a lot, Juewu! You're actually starting to reason with people now, but you're not as straightforward as before. Do you feel like you can't beat them or what?"
I came to this temple today not intending to resolve the issue peacefully, but I do have a question that has been bothering me for quite some time. Could you please enlighten me?

Speaking of this, Mo Fei first looked around at the monks guarding the temple gate and found that there were quite a few familiar figures inside.

"What do you want to ask?"

Mo Fei is now very powerful. Although Jue Wu is unwilling, he does not dare to really turn against Mo Fei.

"hehe……!"

The taste of power is so wonderful. Just looking at the person who is stubbornly trying to save face but still has to answer his questions, he felt great for a moment.

"Back then, Xinbao was so obviously framing you, I don't believe you couldn't see it? But why did you end up siding with him so much?"

"Do you think that if I learn the martial arts of the Arhat Hall, it will threaten your position as the leader of the Arhat Hall, and that's why you're deliberately targeting me?"

Upon hearing Mo Fei's question, Jue Wu felt a chill run down his spine, and his expression became somewhat awkward. Although he remained silent and did not answer, Mo Fei had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

"Alright, I suppose you wouldn't dare reply to me anyway, so there's no point in saying more."

"I have only two purposes for coming here today. One is to kill you, you old bald monk, to vent my anger."

"Another option is to recruit you monks, who usually enjoy the blessings of thousands of families but remain indifferent to the national crisis, into the army to serve the country."

As citizens of the Great Song Dynasty, it's time for you to do your part for the country.

Mo Fei's words instantly startled the monks guarding the temple, who gripped their long staffs tightly, ready to strike.

Just as he was about to order his men to launch an attack, he noticed a familiar figure walking out of the temple gate. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was his mentor, Jueyuan.

The kind-faced, slender Jueyuan occupied a very important place in the memories of his predecessor.

Although Jueyuan's appearance remained the same after a long time, his face showed signs of age and hardship.

"Tianbao! Why are you back?"

Jueyuan was overjoyed to see Mofei, but after seeing the situation outside the temple, he asked with some doubt:
"Why did you come back with so many officers and soldiers?"

Upon seeing his master arrive, he quickly dismounted and bowed deeply.

"Master, please forgive me. I have returned this time for two reasons: first, to seek justice for the expulsion that happened back then."

"Another matter is that I am now the commander of Luo City. The country is in danger, and I am determined to turn the tide."

Therefore, I returned here seeking to acquire some martial arts techniques to equip my soldiers and improve the army's combat strength.

Before Jueyuan could answer, Juewu preemptively mocked:

"Don't think about it!"

"Dong Tianbao, you are a wolf in sheep's clothing, daring to covet the martial arts of the temple. You brought a large army here, do you intend to slaughter all of us monks and commit the heinous act of robbery?" Mo Fei, interrupted, felt a surge of anger and coldly turned to face Dong Tianbao directly, saying:

"You know what, if you guys are oblivious to your own mortality and stubbornly resist, then don't blame me, Dong Tianbao, for being ruthless."

At this moment, the abbot of Shaolin Temple also walked out of the temple gate and first gave Juewu a stern look.

After chanting a Buddhist prayer, he bowed respectfully to Mo Fei before asking:
"Tianbao! Juewu wronged you, which is wrong of him. But no matter what, the temple is where you have lived since you were a child."

"Can you really bear to destroy the ancient Shaolin Temple, a place with a history of thousands of years, today?"

Upon seeing the abbot of Shaolin appear, Mo Fei suppressed his surging anger, returned the greeting, and then replied:

“Master Xuanku, I, Dong Tianbao, respect your high moral character and prestige. However, Shaolin, this Buddhist temple, has been worshipped by countless people for generations. Now, the Great Song Dynasty is in turmoil and on the verge of collapse.”

"You monks are all highly skilled in martial arts; why can't you contribute to the country's resistance against the Tartars and the pacification of the Central Plains?"

After listening to Mo Fei's words, Xuan Ku pondered for a moment before finally speaking.

“The Tartars are also human beings, no different from us. Our Shaolin emphasizes compassion and mercy, how can we wantonly commit murder?”

"Hmph! Compassionate and merciful."

"Before you said that, why didn't you think about how much tribute you have received from the people of the Song Dynasty over the years?"

“You do not cultivate the fields or plant millet, yet you occupy such a large temple and vast farmland.”

"If it weren't for the people supporting you, where would you get the strength to stand here and talk to me about compassion?"

Mo Fei's words left Master Xuanku speechless, and he could only put his hands together and chant Buddhist mantras repeatedly, saying "I'm sorry."

Perhaps he was unwilling to waste any more words, and loudly addressed the surrounding monks:
"Now that I, Dong Tianbao, am here, your Shaolin Temple should either send some able-bodied monks to join the army and await orders, or I, Dong Tianbao, will raze the Shaolin Temple to the ground today."

"That old bald monk still has the will to die today."

Juewu, standing at the rear, sensed Mo Fei's murderous intent and, knowing he could not escape today, roared and launched an attack on Mo Fei first.

I'll kill you first!

Having said that, he leaped into the air and unleashed a powerful palm strike at Mo Fei.

The palm strike unleashed by enlightenment possessed overwhelming power, like a mountain collapsing, and left a sonic boom wherever it passed.

Even a grain of rice can shine brightly.

Mo Fei sneered, realizing that this reaction had been anticipated by him, and it could be said that he had deliberately created this situation.

Mo Fei, who was prepared, suddenly unleashed a golden dragon from his palm.

Two golden dragon-shaped beams of light collided violently with the palms that Juewu was attacking.

"Boom..."

An invisible, surging force suddenly spread outwards, instantly snapping vegetation and sending sand and stones flying everywhere.

Both men, having exchanged a powerful blow, retreated slightly, their strength seemingly evenly matched.

This level of awareness is truly remarkable. No wonder he can serve as the chief of the Shaolin Arhat Hall; his strength is probably among the top in the world.

Do you all remember what I meant by "I'm going to cripple your martial arts"? Haha!
