Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Finding Duan Yu still fast asleep, he asked the waiter to prepare some breakfast for him and bring it to his room.

The waiter saw a person lying on the ground, already bound like this, but seeing Lin Yaoxie's eyes, he didn't dare to ask any questions and quickly retreated.

After Lin Yaoxie woke Duan Yu from bed, Duan Yu sat there groggily and asked his master, "Master, what's wrong? What are you doing so early? Have I drunk too much?"

Lin Yaoxie said, "You still know you're drunk? If I were counting on you as my disciple to protect me, I'd probably be dead by now..."

Duan Yu, confused, asked Lin Yaoxie, "What's wrong, Master? What happened while I was drunk and asleep?"

So Lin Yaoxie led Duan Yu to his room, where Duan Yu immediately saw Kumārajīva lying on the ground, bound like a dumpling by Lin Yaoxie.

Kumārajīva lay there like a dead fish, his mouth stuffed with his master's stinky sock. He looked utterly miserable.

Duan Yu asked with a curious look, "Master, is it this damned monk who wants to kill you?"

Lin Yaoxie nodded and said, "That's right. After you drank too much, I put you in the room and laid you on my bed. Just as I was about to fall asleep, this Kumārajīva actually came with his sword, trying to kill me while we were both drunk."

"You're overestimating yourself, thinking that this is all the alcohol I can handle."

Upon hearing Lin Yaoxie's words, Duan Yu immediately went over and kicked Kumārajīva a few more times.

Kumārajīva was in so much pain that he could only whimper and moan, his mouth stuffed with socks as he whimpered in agony.

Chapter 145 Regret for Provoking Lin Yaoxie

It seems that Duan Yu's two kicks were quite hard. As he kicked him, Duan Yu said, "You damned demon monk, you're either trying to sow discord or trying to kill my master. You're shameless."

"You even tried to kill my master while he was drunk. Don't you know my master can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk? You damned monk, watch how I kick you to death so you dare to touch my master again."

After Duan Yu's kicks, Kumārajīva was in so much pain that his eyes were rolling back in his head, and he was covered in sweat, twitching uncontrollably.

After seeing his condition, Duan Yu kicked him a few more times before arriving in front of Lin Yaoxie.

He said to Lin Yaoxie, "It's all my fault, disciple. I drank too much and almost hurt you, Master. Luckily, you are highly skilled in martial arts, otherwise I would have really blamed myself to death."

Lin Yaoxie said to Duan Yu, "With your mediocre skills, you can barely protect yourself, let alone your master. You should focus on improving your skills."

"Didn't you hear what Murong Fu said to you yesterday? He called you a piece of trash. He actually dared to call my disciple trash in front of me! I won't let that Murong Fu get away with it!"

Duan Yu felt extremely ashamed after hearing this and said to Lin Yaoxie, "Master, I was wrong. From now on, I will listen to whatever you say and I will definitely practice martial arts with you properly."

"How about this, Master, in a few days we'll find a quiet place, and you can teach me some martial arts secrets, and I'll practice diligently."

Lin Yaoxie said, "As long as Duan Yu has the will, how could I not teach you? It all depends on how hard you practice. If I teach you so much and you don't practice properly, what's the point of me teaching you?"

After Lin Yaoxie and the other person finished speaking, they sat down at the dining table and ate the breakfast in front of Kumārajīva.

Kumārajīva lay on the ground in pain, cold, and hunger, which had tormented him all night. Now he lay there like a dead fish, not wanting to move at all.

But his body was still trembling with pain, and Lin Yaoxie and the other two ignored him.

He sat there alone, eating and laughing at Kumārajīva's overestimation of his abilities. Kumārajīva had suffered setbacks both physically and mentally, and now he even contemplated suicide.

After the master and disciple finished eating, they even burped in front of Kumārajīva.

Kumārajīva was lying there like meat on a chopping board, at the mercy of Lin Yaoxie and his companion.

After Duan Yu went over, he pulled the smelly sock out of Kumārajīva's mouth. Only then did Kumārajīva make a whimpering sound, and after a while, he calmed down.

Kumozhi then pitifully begged Lin Yaoxie and the other two for mercy: "Please spare me, heroes. I will never dare to have any improper thoughts about you two again."

"I promise you both, I will leave the Central Plains martial arts world from now on and never come here again, is that enough?"

Lin Yaoxie said, "How can we believe what you, you wicked monk, say? You're full of tricks and lies. You're deceiving us now, and then you come back to cause trouble later. Who am I supposed to reason with?"

Kumārajīva assured Lin Yaoxie that he would keep his word and leave the Central Plains, vowing never to set foot there again.

Lin Yaoxie knew that this Kumārajīva was a difficult person to deal with; he said one thing and did another.

Chapter 146 The Unlucky Kumārajīva

Lin Yaoxie, of course, couldn't believe him, so he came up with a plan: to cripple his martial arts so that he could no longer cause trouble.

Otherwise, if we let the tiger return to the mountain, and he gets tricked and cries again someday, he won't even know where to cry.

So Lin Yaoxie walked up to him and used his Beiming Divine Art to instantly absorb most of Kumārajīva's power before stopping.

Then he said to Duan Yu, "Use the Beiming Divine Skill that your master taught you to absorb all of Kumārajīva's power. This will increase your power, and we will also avenge our feud."

Duan Yu nodded and went to Kumārajīva's side. Kumārajīva looked at the two of them with a look of fear on his face. He was now so weak that he could not speak.

Duan Yu then used his Beiming Divine Skill on Kumārajīva. Unexpectedly, Duan Yu managed to use the Beiming Divine Skill on his first try, which was quite rare.

It quickly absorbed all of Kumārajīva's remaining power, leaving Kumārajīva a cripple, lying there on the verge of death.

So Lin Yaoxie and Duan Yu tested their own internal energy, and they were surprised to find that the demon monk's power was so strong.

After the two people absorbed his power, he felt his strength increase significantly.

So the two of them sat there meditating and transformed the demonic monk's power into their own, and then felt refreshed and invigorated.

Kumārajīva lay there on the verge of death, so Lin Yaoxie had Duan Yu untie his ropes.

After lying there for a long time, the demonic monk slowly got up, and without daring to look back, he crawled out of Lin Yaoxie's room and left.

The master and disciple watched as Kumārajīva tumbled and crawled away, and they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This wicked monk has finally gotten his just deserts. Let's see how he stirs up trouble in the martial world now.

He has now lost all his skills and is probably a cripple.

Duan Yu said to Lin Yaoxie, "Master, you're really something. This time we're no longer afraid of him capturing me and burning me."

Lin Yaoxie said, "Do you think he really wants to burn you like a rocket launcher? He wants to get your sword manual, which means he wants to force you to write the Six Meridians Divine Sword manual."

Duan Yu said, "Then this evil monk can no longer do anything harmful to Miss Wang, so that Miss Wang won't have to live in fear every day. This evil monk is really too immoral."

Lin Yaoxie glared at him and said, "You never stop talking about your Miss Wang. Why don't you think about being filial to your master?"

Duan Yu quickly replied with a smile, "Master, of course I must be filial to you. Tell me what you want to eat today, and I will definitely buy it for you in a little while."

Lin Yaoxie said, "Are you trying to fool your master? You're trying to fool me with some food. You should just focus on improving your martial arts."

The master and apprentice had nothing better to do, so after leaving the inn, they rode their horses along the way, discussing their next destination.

Where are they going? Lin Yaoxie suddenly remembered that he should go back to Lingjiu Palace to ask Duan Yu if he was going with him.

Duan Yu said, "Of course, I will stay with my master."

So the two of them hurried towards Lingjiu Palace. It had been so long since they last parted, and they hadn't gone back to visit yet. They wondered if Lingjiu Palace had calmed down the chaos.

Chapter 147 Accompanying Xu Zhu to Receive Punishment

Unexpectedly, they encountered someone they never expected on their journey: Xu Zhu, whom they had just attended a wedding.

They were surprised to run into him, and they asked him curiously, "How did Xu Zhu end up here?"

Xu Zhu said, "After I got married in Xixia, I lived a very happy life with the princess, but there was always a knot in my heart, which was the grudge between me and Shaolin Temple. I must make it clear, otherwise I will never feel at ease for the rest of my life."

Lin Yaoxie sighed and said to Xuzhu, “Why is this idiot so stubborn? They don’t want you anymore, why are you still going to Shaolin Temple to talk about these things?”

Duan Yu said to Xu Zhu, "Second Brother, why are you so stubborn? The Shaolin Temple has already expelled you from the temple and they won't forgive you anymore."

"Besides, you're not only a monk who only drinks and eats meat now, but you're also married. Why are you still here to suffer like this?"

"If you go back to Shaolin Temple, the abbot will definitely punish you and then expel you from the temple. Why would you bother?"

Xu Zhu, however, said with a serious expression, "I was originally a Shaolin disciple. It's just that after I broke these precepts, even though Shaolin Temple expelled me from Shaolin, I still have to come back to receive those punishments. Otherwise, I will never have peace of mind in this life."

After he finished speaking, Duan Yu quickly went to persuade him, "Second Brother, how could you be so foolish? Everyone else tries to escape, but you voluntarily come to receive punishment. Is it worth it?"

"Once you get there, you'll definitely find yourself in a situation where you can't reason with a soldier, what will you do then?"

"Besides, you are already the leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect, and the leader of other sects."

“How can they forgive you again? Those masters who died have been dead for so long, why can’t you let go of these things?”

Lin Yaoxie and the other man tried to persuade Xuzhu with all their heart, but Xuzhu was simply determined to go to Shaolin Temple to suffer punishment.

Moreover, the deaths of those masters in the Valley of the Deaf and Mute were never clarified at Shaolin Temple, so Xuzhu must go to Shaolin Temple to clarify this matter before he can feel at ease.

Hearing Xu Zhu say this, Duan Yu's heart softened, and he said to Xu Zhu, "Second Brother, back when we were in the Boundless Jade Cave, I said I would definitely accompany you to Shaolin to clear things up."

"Since things are like this, I'll die with you."

Since Duan Yu had said so, Lin Yaoxie naturally wanted to go with them. Of course, he was worried about his foolish disciple and that silly Xu Zhu.

There was nothing they could do but stay with him for the time being; they couldn't just stand by and watch Xu Zhu go to Shaolin and get killed.

Xu Zhu was very happy to hear that the two of them were going to accompany him to Shaolin Temple. He felt at ease with Lin Yaoxie and Duan Yu by his side.

So they headed towards Shaolin Temple. When Xu Zhu and his companions arrived at the gate of Shaolin Temple...

I heard the real sound of the bell and the occasional chanting of sutras. Seeing the magnificent buildings of Shaolin Temple, it seems that Shaolin Temple is indeed very large.

When Xu Zhu arrived at the door, he paused and said with emotion, "I grew up in Shaolin Temple without parents since I was a child. I never imagined that after leaving Shaolin Temple, I would make so many mistakes. It's really wrong of me!"

Chapter 148 Xu Zhu's Confession

Duan Yu was also sighing and lamenting beside him, sharing his sadness and grief.

Seeing a large tree at the entrance of Shaolin Temple, he couldn't help but walk over and stroke it. He said to Lin Yaoxie and the others, "This tree is a sapling that Abbot Xuanci brought me here to plant when I officially became a Bhikkhu. I never expected it to grow into such a big tree after so many years."

“Back then, Abbot Xuanci earnestly told me that he hoped I could cultivate diligently and become a Buddha a hundred years from now, but now all of that is impossible.”

As he spoke, Xu Zhu looked pained, saying that he had failed the abbot's expectations of him, and that he was simply too unworthy.

Duan Yu comforted his second brother, saying, "We can't travel the martial world now. Things are unpredictable, and there are many things we can't foresee. You don't need to be so sad."

Lin Yaoxie also said to Xuzhu, "Indeed, what's the use of being sad now? The dead cannot be brought back to life, and the living must look forward."

"Now that you have a family, don't think about those things anymore. Since we've come to Shaolin Temple with you today, it's to help you fulfill those unfulfilled wishes from when you were a monk."

"Once we've fulfilled our wishes, let's leave this place. There's nothing to linger over, because there's no turning back."

Xu Zhu was extremely saddened by Lin Yaoxie's words of comfort and said to them, "Why don't you go back? I'll go up by myself."

Duan Yu said, "No, now that we've come this far with you, how can we leave you behind and make you walk alone? We'll go with you."

Duan Yu continued, "The Dali Duan family and Shaolin Temple have always had dealings. Perhaps there will be a change in the punishment they give you. I will plead for you then."

Just then, a little Shani actually arrived, and Lin Yaoxie and the others explained their purpose to him.

Then the young monk went back to report to their abbot, and soon returned to lead them, saying, "The Prince of Dali has come to their temple, and we will certainly express our welcome."

They arranged a superior room for them and asked them to wait for their elder in the living room. The elder even served them tea and asked them to sit there and wait.
