Shaolin Bajue

Chapter 969 Martial Arts Supreme
The man seemed no stranger to Shaolin Temple. After walking for a while, he got out of the temple, passed through a forest, and then passed a small stream, and saw the Buddhist scriptures tower standing in the distance.

The man turned around and landed ten feet away from the Sutra Pavilion, stopped, bowed slightly, and said: "Xuanyuan came to see the master."

Master Yin's old voice came from inside the scripture-reserving pavilion: "Benefactor Xuanyuan is a guest from afar, please come in."

The man walked outside the Sutra-Depository Pavilion, stretched out his hand and pushed the door, and the gate opened slowly. After stepping into the Sutra-Depository Pavilion, the gate was tightly closed again.

All the scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion have been placed in the attic, and there is nothing else in the entire lobby except futons.

An old monk turned his back to the direction of the gate.On the left and right sides, there is an old monk sitting on each side, but it is Chan Master Dazhen, the elder of the Sutra Pavilion, and Chan Master Dafang, the former head of the sect.

Zen Master Dafang's eyes were slightly closed, his hands were clasped together, his mouth was moving, and he didn't know what Buddhist scriptures he was reciting.

The man saw a futon in front of him and knew it was for himself, so he sat down unceremoniously.Putting his hands together, the man said: "To disturb Master today is really a crime worthy of death."

The old monk with his back to the gate was Master Liaoyin, but he still didn't turn around, and said slowly, "Master Xuanyuan comes from the Xuanyuan family?"

The man said: "No." After a pause, he explained, "The deceased wife is a descendant of the Xuanyuan family. To commemorate the deceased wife, it is not too much for a certain family to call themselves the Xuanyuan family."

Master Liao Yin sighed: "The benefactor has a deep love for his wife, which is admirable. The Xuanyuan family has been silent for two hundred years, and now they want to come back to the martial arts, no one can bear it."

That human said: "200 years ago, the four great families ruled the martial arts world, and among the four great families, the Xuanyuan family ranked first. It is a pity that the martial arts in the Central Plains did not know how to unite and were divided by Mongolia, which eventually led to the great Song Dynasty becoming a under the iron hooves of the Mongols."

Master Liao Yin sighed, and said: "About the matter of the Xuanyuan family, I have also heard it mentioned by the seniors in the temple. The Xuanyuan family is the descendant of the Yellow Emperor, and has always been regarded as the orthodox martial arts. The Patriarch Chongyang Daoist and the Patriarch of the Xuanyuan Family, Xuanyuan Invincible, fought in Huashan. The two fought for three days and three nights, and Chongyang Daoist won with a narrow move. Afterwards, the two agreed that every ten years, both of them would invite the world's best experts At that time, the Huashan sect was only a small sect. Unexpectedly, when Chongyang Zhenren was 300 years old, he led the seven disciples back to Guanzhong and suddenly became immortal in Kaifeng. Some people said that he did not He was poisoned to death under the orders of the King of Jin, and some people said that he was injured by Xuanyuan Xiayu sword, the number one sword in the world, and could not live to be 58 years old. After that, for a period of time in the martial arts world, no one dared to call himself or be called the number one master in the world. Even the most outstanding disciple of Chongyang Daoist, Changchun Daoist only won the title of the number one master in the north. "

The man laughed, and said: "Chongyang Daoist advocates the equality of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and the integration of the three religions. Based on this alone, he can be called the number one in the world. Although his disciples and grandchildren are all outstanding. , but because of the Xuanyuan family and the existence of your monastery, no matter how much the Master Changchun propagates his theory, he cannot compare to his master. Even though he once commanded the Taoist sects of the world, he is far inferior to the Master Chongyang in terms of martial arts cultivation."

Master Liao Yin sighed, and said: "Since the death of Xuanyuan Wudi, the Xuanyuan family has no outstanding talent like Xuanyuan Wudi, but in the next sixty years, no sect in the martial arts dared to be an enemy of the Xuanyuan family. In [-], Song and Mongolia jointly destroyed the Kingdom of Jin, and Mongolia established its capital in Yuhelin in the second year. Unexpectedly, the Mongols were ambitious and began to invade southward on a large scale in the next year. The Mongols were repulsed under the resistance of the Song Dynasty. In the following ten years, the Mongols invaded repeatedly, but they were all fought back by the Song army. At this time, the Mongolian Khan saw that the Xuanyuan family had acted as the leader of the Central Plains martial arts, so he sent many masters , sneaked into the Central Plains, stole the Xuanyuan Xiayu sword, and then spread rumors that the Xuanyuan family's Xuanyuan Xiayu sword was lost, unworthy to lead the world, and instigated the scum of the world to come out to make trouble. .”

The man said: "After the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, Mongolia ruled the world and did whatever they wanted. More than ten years later, the Wudang faction gradually rolled up. Wudang patriarch Zhang Sanfeng won the title of the world's best master in a martial arts conference, and Chongyang real person won the world's number one It has been more than 140 years since the title of a master. At that time, apart from Zhang Zhenren, the number one master in the world, there were also three major masters in the martial arts, namely, Yinlong Swordsman, Jincha Yanluo, and Master Liaokong from Guisi."

Master Liao Yin said: "Zhen Zhenren's martial arts are unrivaled in the world, and he should be number one in the world. When he was young, he worshiped under the door of Taoist Zhang Yun'an in Biluo Palace, and read the three classics of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. Later, Taoist Zhang introduced him to his friends. It is the sect of master Jueyuan, a martial monk of our temple. Master Jueyuan passed on what he had learned all his life to Zhang Zhenren, and let him go up the mountain to meet the world's masters. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhenren arrived at Zhongnan Mountain one day, and was taken by a generation of martial arts wonders, That is to say, Huolong Daoist captured him and forcibly accepted him as a disciple. Even more victorious, some people say that Zhang Zhenren picked up Chongyang Zhenren’s martial arts secrets when he was practicing martial arts with Huolong Daoist. No matter whether this rumor is true or not, Zhang Zhenren’s martial arts are indeed It is a fusion of hundreds of schools, he is called number one in the world and he deserves his name."

The man suddenly sighed.

Master Liao Yin asked, "Why is the benefactor sighing?"

The man said: "It's a pity that Master Liaokong of your temple, for the sake of justice in the martial arts, hunted down the devil and killed the gods. Although he killed the gods, he disappeared on the way back to the temple, which became a big mystery in the martial arts. If there is no such thing If there is a change, the prosperity of Shaolin will definitely not be comparable to today, and it will not let Wudang catch up."

Master Liao Yin said: "Amitabha, everything in the world has its own definite order, and it can only be futile to force it."

The man said: "Didn't the master think about making Shaolin the supreme martial artist?"

Master Liao Yin said: "Amitabha, what the almsgiver said is wrong, Shaolin has never dreamed of being the supreme martial artist, what virtue can I do? How dare I have such an idea?"

The man said: "Master is too modest." After a pause, he said: "Xuanyuan is here today to learn about Master's supreme martial arts, so please give me your advice."

Master Liaoyin sighed, and said, "Almsgiver, your heart has already fallen into a demon, you'd better listen to the old monk to read a scripture."

The man said decisively: "No need."

Master Liao Yin sighed again, and said, "Wu Lin Supreme is really so important to the benefactor?"
