Pride of Heaven and Dragon Slayer

Chapter 21 To Wudang ([-])
Hearing Zhang Cuishan's words, Yu Lianzhou said: "But among my seven brothers, you are the only one who is talented in both civil and military affairs. Brother and sister, let me tell you a secret. Five years ago, when my teacher's 95th birthday was celebrated, my teacher suddenly grew up. Out of displeasure, he said: "Among my seven disciples, Cuishan is the only one with the highest understanding, both civil and military skills. I hoped that he could inherit my mantle, but it is a pity that his fortune is poor, and his survival is uncertain for five years. I am afraid it is a murderer." Duojishao.' Tell me, does the master like the fifth younger brother the most?"

Yin Susu was very happy when she heard this.Zhang Cuishan was very grateful, and the corners of his eyes were slightly moist.Yu Lianzhou said: "Now that the fifth younger brother has returned safely, there is no greater birthday present for my benefactor." Just as he was speaking, he suddenly heard the faint sound of horseshoes on the bank.The sound of hooves came from east to west, and it was very clear in the quiet night. There were four horses in total. The three of them looked at each other, knowing that the four horses galloped all night, and they were probably related to themselves.Although the three of them don't want to cause trouble, are they people who are afraid of trouble?No one mentioned it at the moment.

Yu Lianzhou said: "When I went down the mountain this time, the master was retreating and meditating. I hope that when we go up the mountain, the old man will have already switched it on."

Yin Susu said: "My father told me in the past that there are only two people he admired in his life. One is the Mingjiao Yang leader, who has passed away, and the other is only Master Zhang Zhenren. My father doesn’t admire the great monk. Zhang Zhenren is a hundred years old this year, and his cultivation is so deep that it is unmatched in the world. Now you want to retreat, is it to practice the art of immortality?”

Yu Lianzhou said: "No, my mentor is thinking about martial arts."

Yin Susu was slightly startled, and said: "His old man's martial arts are already unfathomable, what is he still studying? Is there anyone else in this world who can be his opponent?"

Yu Lianzhou said: "My teacher has been in seclusion for nine months every year since he was 95 years old. He said that the martial arts of my Wudang sect are mainly obtained from the "Nine Suns Manual". At that time, he was too young and didn't know martial arts at all. Patriarch Jue Yuan didn't intend to teach him, but just told him what he wanted, because his own martial arts always had flaws. This "Nine Suns Manual" According to Patriarch Jueyuan, it was passed down from the ancestor Bodhidharma. But the teacher said, the more he thought about it, the more he realized that it might not be true. The secrets mentioned in the scriptures are very different from the Shaolin martial arts, but they are closer to my middle land Taoist martial arts; secondly, this "Nine Suns Scripture" is not Sanskrit, but Chinese characters, written between the lines of the Sanskrit "Langa Sutra". I think that although Patriarch Bodhidharma has a profound understanding of Zen and profound martial arts, He came from Tianzhu West, so he may not be proficient in Chinese characters, so why didn't he write such an important martial arts scripture on another paper, but in the lines of another scripture?"

Zhang Cuishan nodded in agreement, and asked, "Master, what does that mean?"

Yu Lianzhou said: "Men also can't guess, he said maybe it was made by an eminent monk of the later generations of Shaolin Temple, but he pretended to be the name of Patriarch Bodhidharma. The teacher thought that since he didn't know everything about the "Nine Suns Manual", could it be Can't create it by himself? He retreats and thinks hard every year, just wanting to develop his own martial arts, which is completely different from the martial arts passed down in the world."

After hearing this, Zhang Cuishan, Yin Susu and Wuji were all full of praise.Although Ao Kuang already knew that Zhang Sanfeng would create Taijiquan, he still couldn't help admiring him after hearing this.

Yu Lianzhou went on to say: "Back then, I heard that Patriarch Yuan taught the "Nine Suns Manual". Founding Patriarch Guo Xiang and Guo Heroine."

Yin Susu said: "I once heard from my father that Guo Nvxia is a person of great background. Her father is Guo Jing Guo Daxia, and her mother is Huang Rong, the leader of the Huang Gang of the Beggar Gang. When Xiangyang fell, Guo Daxia and his wife both died."

Yu Lianzhou said: "Exactly. My mentor had a relationship with Guo Daxia and his wife at the top of Huashan Mountain. Whenever he mentioned his two benevolent and chivalrous men who served the country and the people, he often said that we, who learn martial arts, should be like Guo Daxia and his wife for life. Be an example."

After finishing speaking, he was in a daze for a while, and then continued: "The three people who passed on the "Nine Suns Manual" back then have different understandings, and their roots are also very different. Wushu is the highest in martial arts; The daughter of the head of the sect has the most profound knowledge; her teacher had no foundation in martial arts at that time, but because of this, the knowledge she learned was the most pure. Therefore, among the three schools of Shaolin, Emei, and Wudang, one has the "high" and the other has the "broad" ', one gets its 'pure'. Each of the three schools of martial arts has its strengths, but it can also be said that each has its weaknesses."

After hearing this, Ao Kuang became more and more curious about Master Jue Yuan, and opened his mouth to ask: "Second Uncle Yu, according to this, that Patriarch Jue Yuan's martial arts is so high, it should be rare in a lifetime."

Yu Lianzhou said: "No! Patriarch Jueyuan doesn't know martial arts. He supervises the collection of scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion of Shaolin Temple. This patriarch is addicted to books. He reads every book and memorizes all scriptures. He accidentally saw "Nine Suns" The Sutra is memorized in his heart like the Diamond Sutra and the Lotus Sutra. As for the extensive and profound martial arts contained in the Sutra, although he also has comprehension, what he practices is only internal strength, and he does not know the moves at all." The story of how the "Nine Suns Manual" was lost and never heard of was told to Yin Susu, Ao Kuang and Wu Ji listened to it.

Zhang Cuishan had heard about it from his master earlier, Yin Susu was arrogant, but Wuji heard it for the first time, and was very interested.At this time Yin Susu said: "It turns out that the previous generations of the Emei Sect and the Wudang Sect still have such a relationship. Why didn't this heroine Guo Xiang and Guo marry Zhenren Zhang?"

Zhang Cuishan smiled and reprimanded: "You are talking nonsense again."

Yu Lianzhou said: "After my mentor and Guo Nvxia broke up at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain, we haven't seen each other since then. The mentor said that Guo Nvxia never forgets one person in his heart, and that is Master's righteous brother. However, Master's righteous brother is infatuated with Wu. After finding no opponents, she lived in seclusion. Guo Nvxia traveled all over the world, but she couldn't find her master's brother-in-law. At the age of 40, she suddenly became enlightened and became a nun. Later, she founded the Emei sect."

Yin Susu said "Oh", she couldn't help but feel sorry for Guo Xiang, and turned to look at Zhang Cuishan.Zhang Cuishan's gaze was also turning around.The two looked at each other, leaving an intoxicating warmth.

Yu Lianzhou was usually taciturn, and sometimes she could not say a word for several days in a row, but after reuniting with Zhang Cuishan after a long absence, she was overjoyed and her eloquence became stronger.After getting along with Yin Susu for more than ten days, he felt that her nature was not bad. It is said that those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black. She has been influenced by her ears and eyes since she was a child, and everyone she sees and hears is evil. , but after ten years of marriage with Zhang Cuishan, her temperament has changed a lot, because the dissatisfaction with her when they first met has disappeared day by day. With true temperament.At this time, the sound of horseshoes was suddenly heard, faintly coming from the east again, and soon the sound of hooves passed by the boat and went west.

Zhang Cuishan pretended not to hear, and said: "Second Martial Brother, if Master invites masters from Shaolin and Emei schools to discuss together, learn from each other's strengths and make up for their weaknesses, all three schools of martial arts can make great progress."

Yu Lianzhou patted her thigh with her hand, and said, "Take a photo, Master said that you are the one who will inherit his mantle in the future, and it's really not bad at all."

Zhang Cuishan waved his hand and said, "That's what my teacher misses my younger brother and said on the spur of the moment. Even if my teacher really meant it, my younger brother would never dare to accept it."

At this moment, Yu Lianzhou smiled slightly and said: "Sisters and sisters, you protect Wuji and be arrogant, don't let them be frightened, the outside affairs are handled by me and my fifth brother."

Aokuang, Yin Susu, and Wuji all looked into the distance, but they didn't see any movement. When hesitating, Yu Lianzhou said: "Among the bushes on the bank, the light of the knife is shining, and someone is lying there. There must be someone in the reeds ahead. Enemy boat."

Ao Kuang wandered his eyes around, only saw the surroundings were quiet and there was no abnormality, he thought to himself, maybe your eyes are dazzled?Suddenly I heard Yu Lianzhou say in a clear voice: "Yu Er and Zhang Wu of Wudang Mountain have passed through the precious land, please forgive the lack of courtesy. If any friend is interested, how about please come on the boat and have a drink together?" He said these few words As soon as it was over, the sound of oars in the reeds was suddenly heard, and six small boats rowed out like flying, lined up, and stopped in the middle of the river.There was a humming sound from a ship, and a loud arrow was shot. Out of a row of bushes on the south bank, more than a dozen well-dressed men, all dressed in black, held weapons in their hands, but their faces were covered with black handkerchiefs, only their eyes were exposed.

Seeing such a situation, Ao Kuang felt admiration: "This Second Uncle Yu really lives up to his reputation, he is truly amazing."
