At this moment, Zhang Junbao was still in a daze, his consciousness still stuck in the moment he lost consciousness, and he was not yet aware of how serious his injuries were.
Grasshopper, standing nearby, said anxiously, "Senior Brother Junbao, you were knocked unconscious when you tried to break through the Shaolin Eighteen Bronze Men Formation!"
"Is that so?"
Zhang Junbao touched the bruises on his body, feeling a sharp pain, but he still forced a smile and said jokingly:
"Perhaps I was too excited to have made it through the Bronze Men Formation, which is why I fainted."
It turns out that after Jueyuan and his group left the True Sect, they returned to Shaolin Temple. Then, something happened: the abbot of Shaolin Temple decided to select candidates for the Eighteen Bronze Men from within the temple.
Zhang Junbao was very excited to hear the news and wanted to sign up. He grew up in Shaolin Temple and wanted to repay the temple for its nurturing. He went to sign up with great enthusiasm, only to find that the candidates for the Eighteen Bronze Men were only open to the monks of Shaolin Temple, and there was no place for him.
Outraged, he confronted Abbot Juekong. Unable to withstand his entanglement, Abbot Juekong could only say that if Zhang Junbao could break through the Bronze Man Formation, he would make him one of the Eighteen Bronze Men of Shaolin.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Junbao, this hothead, actually went to try it. Moreover, he was stubborn during the process, refusing to admit defeat even though he was no match for the opponent. In the end, he actually succeeded in breaking through the formation.
Jueyuan sighed after hearing this.
The Eighteen Bronze Men of Shaolin have a long history and are recorded in history. The Eighteen Bronze Men originated from the famous story of the Eighteen Shaolin monks saving the Tang Emperor. Today, they are famous throughout the world and renowned in the martial arts world.
There's a saying circulating in the martial arts world: the Shaolin Temple's Eighteen Bronze Men Formation is unbreakable unless one is a Xiantian (a type of cultivator).
Zhang Junbao didn't actually succeed in breaking through the formation. It was because Abbot Juekong knew that they couldn't continue fighting, or Zhang Junbao would lose his life. Under his instructions, the eighteen bronze men deliberately let him pass.
However, Zhang Junbao also suffered severe internal and external injuries, which led to this scene.
"Look, I'm perfectly fine."
Seeing that everyone looked gloomy, Zhang Junbao jumped off the bed and bounced around the meditation room, even practicing a few boxing moves.
At this moment, Abbot Juekong said, "Junbao, take a breath and press your Tanzhong acupoint."
Following Juekong's instructions, Zhang Junbao took a deep breath and gently tapped the outside of the Tanzhong acupoint with his index finger.
pain!
I felt an excruciating pain, as if my nerves were being torn apart.
Large beads of sweat immediately covered his forehead.
He can't even stand steadily.
Seeing this, Grasshopper quickly helped Zhang Junbao up.
“Junbao, you don’t need to put on a brave face in front of me. I heard Jueyuan say at the prayer meeting that you had already suffered internal injuries after fighting with the rebel leader Chen Youliang.”
"The reason I asked you to stop practicing martial arts for the time being after you returned to Shaolin Temple is so that you could rest and recuperate properly."
"However, you ignored my good intentions. You were brave and reckless, and forced your way into the Bronze Man Formation. Now your meridians are severely damaged. We can only temporarily stabilize your injuries, which is not a cure."
"The Yi Jin Jing I have learned is not good at healing others, and I am powerless to help you here."
Juekong's tone carried a hint of disappointment and frustration.
It turns out that at the real prayer ceremony, the day Jueyuan was summoned to the Chongyang Hall by Qiu Chuji, Zhang Junbao, Liu Bowen, and Shen Rong clashed with Chen Youliang at the banquet set up by the True Sect.
The reason for the conflict was that Chen Youliang had been drinking and took a liking to Shen Rong's looks, so he went up to flirt with her.
What man could tolerate his beloved woman being harassed? As a result, Zhang Junbao was enraged and fought Chen Youliang.
"Abbot, do you mean my injuries are beyond cure?"
Zhang Junbao appeared extremely flustered; being unable to practice martial arts was worse than being killed.
Juekong rebuked him, "This is all your own fault. You were born into a virtuous family, but your heart is in an evil realm."
Zhang Junbao quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Abbot, this disciple knows his mistake and is willing to accept punishment."

Chapter 105 Zhang Junbao Leaves Shaolin
"Junbao, stop kneeling. The abbot has been gone for a long time."
Grasshopper saw Zhang Junbao still kneeling on the ground, stunned, after Abbot Juekong left, and tried to pull him up.
Zhang Junbao's eyes were lifeless, as if he had lost consciousness, and he did not react at all as the grasshopper dragged him along.
"I think the abbot is acting a bit strange. Junbao, did you offend him in some way?"
With great effort, Cao Men dragged Zhang Junbao to the bed, muttering to himself.
"Don't talk nonsense, I have not offended the abbot."
Upon hearing the mention of Abbot Juekong, Zhang Junbao finally snapped out of his daze.
"That's strange. The abbot used to dote on you so much, protecting you in every way. How come he's completely changed since returning from the Quanzhen Sect? He wants to expel you from Shaolin over such a small matter."
"You could say he doesn't care about you, but he still expended his energy to heal you. There must be a reason for this."
"Senior brother, you should think about this carefully."
Grasshopper felt that Juekong's behavior was indeed contradictory, and he suspected there was more to the story.
Zhang Junbao shook his head and said, "I don't know. Maybe he felt that I forced my way into the Eighteen Bronze Men Formation and didn't take care of myself, so he was disappointed in me."
