Start to be a martial arts hero from the famous people of Hengshan

Chapter 471 Kindness
After hearing what Yue Buqun said, Lin Pingzhi frowned subconsciously. In his mind, there is a distinction between good and evil in the world of martial arts.

He would only draw his sword for justice. He would not agree with or act in the same way as those who draw swords against each other over a disagreement.

However, since this was a debate between his senior brother and Mr. Yue, as a junior, it was not convenient for him to speak up, so he kept silent.

Yue Buqun continued, "As for whether these apprentices will affect the peace of the country and the well-being of the people, these issues are indeed grand and it is difficult for me to make a rash conclusion. But I know one thing, there are three walls between Liaodong and the capital, namely Guangning, Yizhou, and Funing. These three walls separate Liaodong from the Central Plains. It is expected that those who are reckless and bloodthirsty will find it difficult to break through these three difficulties in succession!"

"Regarding the hard work of our ancestors mentioned by my junior apprentice brother..."

Yue Buqun chuckled and asked, "Think about it from my perspective, nephew. If you were to create a martial art, would you want it to spread across the world and be learned by everyone? Or would you want it to be mastered by only a few people and even face the risk of being lost after several generations? If it were you, what would you choose?"

After hearing this, Hong Xiang felt that Yue Buqun was referring to Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang.

In the past, the founder of Tai Chi, a martial arts treasure, founded it at the age of 100. He was open-minded and did not set up any school of thought. Anyone who was willing to learn could learn it.

Because of this openness and tolerance, Tai Chi quickly became popular throughout the world, and the name of Wudang also became famous throughout the world, establishing the world pattern of "Shaolin in the North and Wudang in the South" in one fell swoop.

Thinking about it this way, Hong Xiang felt that there seemed to be no problem with the operation of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

The two stayed in Huashan Villa until the evening and had dinner before saying goodbye and leaving.

On the way back, Lin Pingzhi wanted to speak several times, but looking at his senior brother who remained silent and moody, his words were stuck in his throat and he could not utter them smoothly. He only felt a dull stuffiness in his chest and felt quite uncomfortable.

In the next few days, Hong Xiang visited Taishan Sect and Songshan Sect again. He was surprised to find that Taishan Sect was the most bizarre, which made him unable to help but stay for a while at the Taishan Sect’s headquarters, Shibapan.

The area of ​​Eighteen Pans is only two acres. Apart from the eight Taoist children who are responsible for cleaning and receiving guests, there are only three disciples of Taishan Sect here, namely Taoist Tianbai and his two disciples.

Upon hearing that the top disciples of the Wudang Sect were coming to visit, Taoist Tianbai happily received the two of them.

It just so happened that on that day, more than twenty people came to take the exam to try their luck, so Taoist Tianbai simply asked Hong Xiang and Lin Pingzhi to be invigilators.

What Taoist Tianbai had not expected was that among the more than 20 contestants, there was an unusual person hidden - an illiterate warrior.

Looking at the muscular man in front of him, Taoist Tianbai couldn't help but laugh, and asked with a bit of helplessness: "You don't even know how to read. Isn't it like a headless fly to take this exam?"

"I can't read, can you read the questions to me?" The sturdy man said seriously, "I have been very smart since I was a child. The scholars on the street gave me arithmetic problems, and I could figure them out in a snap."

Seeing how confident he was, Taoist Tianbai began to feel doubtful. Could it be that this man was really a genius?

"Okay! I will make an exception and read the questions for you."

Taoist Tianbai said, picked up the test paper and read: "It costs five cents to buy a rooster, three cents to buy a hen, and only one cent to buy three chicks. I use one hundred cents to buy one hundred chickens, including roosters, hens, and chicks. How many cocks, hens, and chicks are there?"

The strong man immediately replied: "Ten cocks, ten hens, and eighty chicks!"

"its not right!"

Taoist Tianbai frowned slightly and said, "There are three answers, and none of them is what you calculated."

"Master, just tell me whether it's fast or not!" the sturdy man asked back righteously.

"Ah"

"Hehehe" looking at the sturdy man with a silly smile, Taoist Tianbai suddenly made a move, grabbed his wrist, and then with a surge of strength, he lifted the man up easily.

The sturdy man tried to struggle and resist, but in front of Taoist Tianbai's superb martial arts, all resistance seemed futile. Taoist Tianbai turned his body, swung out with one arm, and with a gentle force, he actually knocked the sturdy man into the air.

Then, he exerted force with his legs and kicked out, accurately hitting the sturdy man's chest and kicking him directly out of the Eighteen Plates.

"Cough cough." The sturdy man fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. His complexion obviously deteriorated several degrees. He looked up at Taoist Tianbai with a look of horror on his face.

Taoist Tianbai looked at the man coldly and said, "Humph, you dare to come to Taishan Sect to cause trouble. This time I will just teach you a little lesson. If you do it again, I will have someone throw you to the Shengnuzhen tribe eighty miles away. Get lost!"

The sturdy man didn't dare to say anything more. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and crawled away.

Lin Pingzhi stood beside Hong Xiang and said in surprise, "I didn't expect the Taishan School's grappling skills to be so powerful!"

Hong Xiang smiled and explained, "This is the Taishan School's unique skill, the Twelve-style Panshou. I haven't seen anyone perform it for a long time, and I thought it was lost."

Taoist Tianbai turned around, looked at the two of them and smiled awkwardly, then said a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, I made you two laugh."

"It doesn't matter. There is no shortage of opportunists in this world. Making them suffer a little can also help establish my authority."

Hong Xiang shook his head, not caring, and asked another question: "Just now, fellow Taoist mentioned Sheng Nuzhen, what is that?"

"This has to start from the previous dynasty." Taoist Tianbai explained patiently.

"History of Jin Dynasty" records: During the Five Dynasties, the Khitan took over all of Bohai, and the Heishui Mohe became a vassal of the Khitan.

Those in the south were of Khitan origin and were called Sujurchen.

Those in the north were not of Khitan nationality and were called Shengjurchen.

In the land of Shengnuzhen there are Hunhe River and Changbai Mountain. The Hunhe River is also called Heilongjiang River, which is the so-called "White Mountains and Black Waters".

"This saying is still used today. Compared to the Jurchens, the Jurchens of Shengjurchen are extremely barbaric and savage, living in the mountains and forests and refusing to obey the king. According to the intelligence released by the Lower Three Thousand Battalion, the Jurchens of Shengjurchen cannot be defeated by a few people. It takes a team of more than ten people to wipe out a small tribe of theirs."

"I see."

Hong Xiang nodded after listening to this, and asked with a hint of doubt: "So, the government will also organize this kind of team to fight?"

"Of course," Taoist Tianbai explained with a smile, "Most of the people who are learning in Shenyang Prefecture now borrow money from the Royal Silver Bank. If they were to be slaughtered by the Jurchens just when they had achieved something, wouldn't the Royal Silver Bank's investment be wasted and suffer heavy losses?"

"Therefore, in the first two months after the apprentices complete their studies, the Jinyiwei will specially organize several hunting activities outside the city so that the apprentices can quickly adapt to Liaodong. After that, the government will no longer interfere, and it will all depend on personal ability."

Hong Xiang and Lin Pingzhi looked at each other. They didn't expect that it could be done this way. The imperial court was indeed a little different from the underworld and was much kinder!
If Taoist Tianbai knew their thoughts, he would just smile and not explain much.

The court's move was by no means out of mercy, but was actually only to more effectively resolve the threat posed by the Jurchens.

By spending only twenty taels, one can train a special warfare elite and then lead them to carry out several missions. As long as a few Jurchen tribes can be wiped out, the imperial court will not lose out.

After that, you don’t have to worry about their logistics and just let them do what they want.

This wave of operations really has nothing to do with kindness
