Transcending Heavens: Starting with the Ancient Tomb Sect

Chapter 128 Senior Brother Brags for Shaolin!

"Senior brother, senior brother, how powerful is the Shaolin Temple?"

On the way to Mount Song, the junior sister turned her head and whispered to Yue Que beside her on horseback, and asked a question.

"That's impressive." Seeing Gongsun Lü'e ask the question, Yue Que pondered for a moment and then replied, "Junior Sister, do you know what a saying used to circulate in the martial arts world?"

"That's why all martial arts under heaven originated from Shaolin!"

"It is said that there was a story of thirteen monks saving the Tang emperor in the early Tang Dynasty."

With just one sentence, he completely stunned his junior sister, Gongsun Lü'e.

Especially that last sentence, the arrogance was palpable.

It should be noted that even the Quanzhen Sect, currently considered the number one sect in the world, is not this ostentatious.

The final words roughly clarified the background of Shaolin Temple, giving the young lady from the Gongsun family a clearer understanding.

Li Mochou, who was listening from the side, forced herself not to roll her eyes. She knew that her junior nephew was fooling her again, bullying a young lady from a prominent family who had never left the house before.

Hong Lingbo felt he couldn't bear to watch. If Shaolin Temple were truly that powerful now, why would they be stuck on Mount Song, motionless?

Upon hearing this, Lu Wushuang merely pursed her lips. In her memory, the most powerful monk was Master Yideng, the Southern Emperor, who came from the Buddhist sect of Dali and had no connection with the Shaolin Temple on Mount Song in the Central Plains.

What is Shaolin Temple?

What does a Buddhist sect that was once in the Jin Dynasty and is now in Mongolia have to do with the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty?

That's just something you can fool a junior sister who doesn't know anything about the martial arts world. Who in their right mind would believe that?

However-

Little Dragon Girl blinked, spurred her horse closer, and asked earnestly, "Que'er, is this true?"

"Yes." Seeing Long'er come over to play along, Yue Que looked at her serious expression and felt that she was serious, so he nodded and said affirmatively, "Of course, it's just that it's become a little weaker now due to various reasons, but it should still not be underestimated."

"It is said that one of the leaders of the Beggars' Sect learned ordinary Shaolin martial arts from a young age before joining the Beggars' Sect and becoming the leader at a young age."

"As for his abilities—well, he's about the same as the current Guo Jing, the great hero."

The question of who is stronger between Xiao Feng and Guo Jing has always been a point of contention. In terms of martial arts alone, Guo Jing might be superior; but in terms of life and death, Xiao Feng would win.

But since there's still controversy, we can only use another unorthodox method for evaluation.

Xiao Feng killed A'Zhu with one palm strike, Zhang Wuji made Zhao Min's face turn as red as a peach blossom with four palm strikes, and Guo Jing dared not hit Huang Rong.

The answer is obvious: Xiao Feng is the strongest.

Upon hearing this, Little Dragon Girl suddenly understood and exclaimed, "That's truly amazing!"

However, in Xiaolongnu's opinion, it was more the Beggar Clan leader's talent that was remarkable. Just like Que'er, when he entered the Ancient Tomb again, all he had mastered was the most ordinary Quanzhen internal skill.

aside.

Li Mochou, Hong Lingbo, and Lu Wushuang, the three masters and disciples, looked at each other in bewilderment:

'

""

"Master, senior brother."

"So Shaolin Temple is this amazing!" Gongsun Lü'e exclaimed, quite impressed. She felt that during her visit to Shaolin Temple on Mount Song, she absolutely had to take a good look at that ancient temple.

I'll write it down carefully when the time comes.

Seeing his junior sister's exclamation, Yue Que continued to tell some anecdotes about Shaolin, especially emphasizing the Seventy-Two Shaolin Arts.

These words immediately caught the attention of Li Mochou and her two disciples.

When the words "There are seventy-two divine skills" reached the ears of the master and his two disciples, they suddenly felt that there was some truth to the saying that all martial arts in the world originated from Shaolin.

"Seventy-two unique skills?" Li Mochou asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Yue Que nodded, smiling quite happily as he spoke, saying, "What Shaolin tells the outside world is all from Bodhidharma—"

"Oh~~~" X5.

As soon as he said that, everyone immediately understood.

This is the same approach as the previous guides everyone created: choose a senior with sufficient fame to be affiliated with.

They had originally felt guilty about affiliating with the Patriarch and Wang Chongyang, and even using the name of the Pure Yang Patriarch, but now, seeing the actions of the Buddhist Shaolin Temple, that guilt in their hearts vanished completely.

The Ancient Tomb Sect was too well-versed in rules and manners before.

As for why his nephew Yue Que knew so much about this, he must have seen it in the classics of the Quanzhen School.

After all, it's not surprising that Wang Chongyang, once the greatest man in the world, traveled through the Central Plains during his resistance against the Jin dynasty and visited the Shaolin Temple.

The fact that Gongsun, the nephew, is now making these records suggests that he learned them from Wang Chongyang, the founder of the Quanzhen School.

The Ancient Tomb School also has its own historians.

On second thought, since Shaolin Temple possesses so many unique skills, there must be many masters among them. It seems that a major battle is inevitable during this trip to Shaolin Temple.

Li Mochou analyzed the situation seriously and felt that if necessary, it was time for the Love Flower Thorn to truly appear in the world. She wanted to see how many truly virtuous and eminent monks there were in the Buddhist sect!

She, the Red-Lian Fairy Li Mochou, wanted to see just how powerful this ancient temple really was!

At the foot of Mount Song, Shaolin Temple made advance preparations to announce its closure for three days.

After fully understanding the terrifying nature of the Ancient Tomb Sect, Master Wuxiang, the head of the Bodhidharma Hall, instructed his junior brother, Master Wuse, to arrange the matter.

At the same time, they also invited their junior brother Jueyuan, the librarian of the Sutra Repository, to come out and greet the other party, in order to show their hospitality and fulfill their duties as hosts.

Originally, there was no intention to raise the flag, but then news came that the Ancient Tomb Sect, out of boredom, had casually slaughtered an entire wealthy family of Semu people.

Master Wuse, the head of the Luohan Hall who had extensive experience with outlaws, offered this suggestion. Firstly, he was experienced, and secondly, he was worried that his junior brother Jueyuan would be ignorant of etiquette and cause trouble.

Upon realizing this, Zen Master Wuse knew that only he, as the head of the Arhat Hall, was qualified and capable of taking the position.

This suggestion was then agreed upon by all the eminent monks of Shaolin Temple, including the abbot.

no problem.

For the safety of Shaolin, these hardships are merely tests from Buddha.

And so, that scene unfolded—Shaolin Temple warmly welcomed the visit of the ancient tomb!

"————"X6.

They exchanged glances and decided that Li Mochou, the Red-Lian Fairy, would lead the group to visit Shaolin Temple on behalf of the Ancient Tomb Sect.

"This humble monk, Master Wuse (Jueyuan), the head monk of the Arhat Hall, greets all benefactors." Master Wuse, along with his junior brother Jueyuan and a group of Shaolin disciples, greeted the people from the Ancient Tomb in a proper and respectful manner, without showing any arrogance.

"Li Mochou led her disciples from the Ancient Tomb Sect to meet Zen Master Wuse and Master Jueyuan."

The Red Serpent Fairy was very adept at observing proper etiquette when dealing with outsiders.

Following behind, Yue Que, who actually controlled the Ancient Tomb Sect, and Xiaolongnu, the sect leader, also greeted Hong Lingbo, Lu Wushuang, and Gongsun Lüe with the courtesy due to juniors.

They followed Li Mochou's example and performed the same courtesies.

Such a tactic is incredibly effective against outsiders who are unaware of the situation.

Judging from their age and reputation, the Ancient Tomb Sect should rightfully be led by the Red Serpent Fairy. Even if there were some speculations, they would be drawn to the Red Serpent Fairy's current formidable reputation in the martial arts world.

Since Shaolin Temple welcomed them with a smile, the Ancient Tomb Sect naturally couldn't refuse.

However, the courtesy was reserved for Zen Master Wuse and Jueyuan; the other Shaolin disciples merely nodded in acknowledgment.

The moment the two sides exchanged greetings, Li Mochou noticed that the Shaolin disciples seemed to have varying levels of skill, and several monks were secretly watching her group.

That makes sense when you think about it. The monks of Shaolin Temple have seen many high-ranking officials and nobles. Although they are currently in the Mongol-controlled area and are being humiliated by the Tantric sect in their struggle for discourse power, they are still worldly-wise and have seen the world.

Even so, a group of great beauties have never been seen together on Mount Song.

Even monks, if their mental state is not up to par, will subconsciously look at things.

After observing secretly, Yue Que discovered that Jueyuan was the best performer and a virtuous monk, while Zen Master Wuse, though his eyes flashed with amazement, remained calm and composed.

After a brief chat, the Red Serpent Fairy casually recounted the hardships of her journey and then casually requested to go up the mountain to pay homage.

"Zen Master, is that alright?"

Even after making the request, Li Mochou, the Red Serpent Fairy, still behaved with impeccable manners, leaving no room for criticism regarding her etiquette.

"Esteemed benefactors, please!"

Faced with this request, Zen Master Wuse, who was already mentally prepared, showed no emotional fluctuation. He simply did his best and tried his best to fulfill the Shaolin etiquette in his replies.

In the eyes of Zen Master Wuse, the very polite Fairy Chilian was more terrifying than he had imagined, and he was afraid that he might cause a conflict because he had not spoken well.

"Senior brother, you—"

Senior brother, it wasn't like this before.

Although Jueyuan seemed a bit slow-witted, he knew the rules of Shaolin Temple. He was quite surprised to see his senior brother about to break the rules.

"Junior brother, all beings are equal before the Buddha, so why should there be a difference between men and women?" Zen Master Wuse directly picked up his senior brother Wuxiang's words, put his hands together and spoke softly, in the manner of a high monk. He thought to himself: Amitabha, fortunately I have taken on this responsibility, otherwise Junior Brother Jueyuan would definitely have run into trouble.

My junior brother is simple and honest by nature, but he is also pedantic and doesn't understand social etiquette. Even when he says something nice, it can sound like he's making things difficult for others.

"Senior brother, I am deeply grateful for your teachings!" Jueyuan suddenly realized, his gaze towards Zen Master Wuse filled with admiration.

This is a master!

Yue Que listened to the conversation between the two fellow disciples and was truly impressed.

Needless to say, Abbot Jueyuan was extraordinary, and Zen Master Wuse was no less remarkable.

So, led by Zen Master Wuse and Monk Jueyuan, the people from the Ancient Tomb left the Divine Eagle below, entrusting it to watch over Ma Si, and then followed Zen Master Wuse and Monk Jueyuan up the mountain.

During this process, Zen Master Wuse was quite curious about the green-clad girl walking in the middle, who was holding a book, a brush, and ink that had been prepared beforehand, and was writing something on it.

"Esteemed benefactor, this is—"

Zen Master Wuse had never seen such a person before, especially one from a prominent family.

Yue Que replied, "To gather inspiration!"

"Oh~" Zen Master Wuse understood. It turned out to be a custom of wealthy families. He had seen this many times before and understood it very well.

He didn't think the other party was describing the terrain or anything like that. Even if they were, what would be the point of attacking Mount Song?

What is Gongsun Lü'e writing?

Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang, who were following behind, could see it clearly.

The junior sister pondered for a moment, recalling the tone of her senior brother's occasional words, and then wrote directly on the paper—

August 12th, sunny.

At noon, people arrived at Shaolin Temple.

The Shaolin Temple wasn't as powerful as I had imagined.

Because I think it was my senior brother who bragged about Shaolin Temple.
