Top-class Bodyguard

Chapter 704 - 683: Shaolin's Eighteen Bronze Men!

Ren Feng saw Liang Keqing like this and said again, "Keqing, you don't have to answer now. Think about it carefully. Of course, I will respect every decision you make, and I can understand you. It's okay if you go to Taijiang Village; I will find time to visit you. If you come with me to Jiangnan City, I will also take you back to Taijiang Village to see it."

After saying that, Ren Feng also fell silent for a while. He didn't know what kind of attitude he should have toward Liang Keqing, a bit like having feelings but also a bit like sibling affection.

Before Liang Hongkuan died, through Doudou, he entrusted Liang Keqing to his care, and he must take good care of Liang Keqing. Otherwise, he would feel remorseful.

"Um, I'll think about it again," Liang Keqing said.

"Alright, don't think about it too much now, let's eat. After that, you should get some rest, and then you can confirm the information," Ren Feng spoke.

The dishes ordered earlier were also brought up by the waiter, and Liang Keqing was hungry. The two of them started eating directly.

After finishing their meal, Ren Feng took Liang Keqing for a stroll around the city, and meanwhile, Long Yue's information also came in.

After reading it, Ren Feng's eyes flickered slightly; sure enough, the remaining four sects had all gone to Shaolin. It seemed they wanted to rely on Shaolin and other sects' protection to confront him.

But it was just as well; with the four sects all gathered together, it saved him from running around. He could resolve this matter all at once.

After strolling with Liang Keqing for a while, he went to the hotel and booked two rooms, one for Liang Keqing and one for himself, and slept peacefully.

...

The next day.

After waking up, Ren Feng took Liang Keqing, had breakfast, and flew directly to Nanhe Province.

Shao Lin Temple was in this province.

On the surface, the Shao Lin Temple everyone knew was the one in Dengfeng City, Nanhe Province, but this Shao Lin Temple was basically just a show, with no real martial arts.

However, the real Shao Lin Temple, although also in Nanhe Province, was not in Dengfeng City but hidden within a large mountain in Golden Buddha City.

The Buddhist atmosphere in Golden Buddha City was very strong, with a large golden Buddha statue in the city, hence its name. And in the suburbs near the countryside, there was a mountain called East Buddha Mountain. Although it was not as large as the Ten Thousand Mountains of Miaojiang, it was extremely steep and difficult to climb, making it almost impossible for ordinary people to enter.

Ren Feng arrived at this East Buddha Mountain with Liang Keqing, and looking at this majestic and high-altitude mountain range, he led Liang Keqing directly into the mountain.

The entire forest in East Buddha Mountain was lush and thickly covered, with smoke and mist lingering not far away, obscuring the view completely.

After entering the mountain, there was a visible trail, and Ren Feng followed this trail, walking forward until he reached a forest.

After walking for a while, Ren Feng suddenly frowned. If he remembered correctly, they had just passed a place, which was that forest.

Ren Feng stopped and looked around carefully for a while. Then he realized something.

There was a small Eight Trigrams Array here, full of confusion. If you chose to continue forward, you would definitely not reach the front, only circling in place; but if you walked back, you could withdraw.

It's a method to prevent ordinary people from entering the forest.

"Keqing, follow me closely, don't take too many or too few steps," Ren Feng advised.

"Okay," Liang Keqing replied.

Ren Feng stepped diagonally to the upper left three steps, then horizontally to the right one step, retreated two steps, and walked forward four steps.

These things were taught by the old man, with various miscellaneous teachings, including these so-called Qimen Dunjia techniques.

However, most of such techniques have been lost, and the remaining small part can only serve as deceptive camouflage arrays.

Within a short while, Ren Feng led Liang Keqing out of this array. As they walked forward, they found the scenery had changed again.

Liang Keqing was puzzled. She looked back and then forward, only to see a newly appeared small path ahead.

Following Ren Feng along this winding path, with a large rock nearby, and the trees became incredibly green, entirely unlike autumn trees, rather like those in spring or summer.

Ren Feng sensed the spiritual energy in the world ahead, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised. Compared to the outside, the Spiritual Qi was very rich, no wonder these trees were growing so well.

This Shaolin Temple truly was different.

The previous three sects he visited were only average middle-tier sects, not even considered upper-tier, while Shaolin Temple was already top-tier.

Twisting and turning for a while, they only felt the surrounding scenery growing stranger, even entering a valley with towering peaks on either side, making it impossible to see ahead.

After another while, after exiting the valley, Ren Feng and Liang Keqing continued walking. Suddenly, after a turning point in the road, the front view opened up.

Not far away was a large temple, with buildings clustered together like ancient walled cities, surrounded by clouds and mist, accompanied by melodious chanting, truly like a heavenly kingdom.

Liang Keqing was slightly stunned. She hadn't expected the Shaolin Temple to be so grand, looking even comparable with ancient villages, the entire aura possessing a majestic and dignified feeling.

"Let's go, the matters from before are supposed to be settled today," Ren Feng said.

He led Liang Keqing forward, but hadn't walked far when suddenly, he felt alert and blocked Liang Keqing behind him, rushing forward alone.

In an instant, loud shouts were heard from the two sides, and several monks jumped out from afar, wielding long sticks that smashed towards Ren Feng.

Ren Feng slapped with his palm, hitting back a section of long stick, but then a series of over ten sticks swung at him from all directions.

The angles of these monks' strikes were extremely tricky, forcing back seventeen sticks consecutively, yet the eighteenth stick struck Ren Feng's chest.

Even with Ren Feng's strength, he was pushed back a step. His gaze turned to the front, where eighteen monks formed an Arhat Array.

A row standing below, with monks stepping on the shoulders of others above them, layer upon layer, forming a total of four rows, all holding long sticks.

"Heave-ho!"

The monks shouted loudly at Ren Feng, shaking their long sticks, exuding a powerful aura.

Moreover, the most noticeable point was that the monks' skin appeared different, being of a bronze color, looking extremely tough.

Shao Lin Temple, the Eighteen Bronze Men!

From these Eighteen Bronze Men, Ren Feng could feel their aura, somewhat terrifying. Each monk's aura was beyond the worldly realm and between the Divine Realm, but when the eighteen Bronze Men formed a whole, their overall aura was comparable to a Grandmaster level expert!
