Chapter 286: The martial arts world is shocked!

Fang Han's visit to Wudang actually attracted the attention of many forces in the martial arts world.

Although the Shaolin Temple is famous and has a long history, it can't be said to be invincible. As for the sweeping monk, even the people inside the Shaolin Temple don't know of his existence, let alone others?

Although it is powerful, it is not well known.

But Zhang Zhenren of the Wudang Sect is truly said to be invincible in the world. Even though he has not taken action for many years, it does not prevent people in the martial arts world from respecting and admiring him.

Everyone would be curious: who is stronger, Fang Han, the unrivaled figure who has been honored as the "Exiled Immortal" since his fame was revealed, or Zhang Sanfeng, the universally recognized and respected Grandmaster whose fame has been passed down for decades!?

Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts!

People who practice martial arts always enjoy talking about strength and weakness, and superiority and inferiority.

Especially the comparison between these two recognized extremely strong figures.

What happened in Wudang Mountain was actually very difficult to cover up. Besides, the Wudang Sect never thought of covering it up. Because of the great favor in Yu Daying's matter, Zhang Sanfeng and the Seven Heroes of Wudang were extremely grateful, and the disciples naturally actively promoted Fang Han's name.

As a result, Fang Han defeated Zhang Sanfeng in the duel and even broke the [Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation] with Zhang Sanfeng as the core. These two things spread quickly and swept through the martial arts world of the entire Song Dynasty like a hurricane, and even the martial arts world of several neighboring countries!

This incident caused a huge uproar, and everyone who knew about it was horrified!

Zhang Sanfeng has been a martial arts legend in the Song Dynasty for decades. He traveled around the world in his youth, wiped out demons in his middle age and was invincible. He then established the Wudang Taoist school. These deeds have forged his fame!

It is really hard to imagine that such a recognized grandmaster was defeated by others and the martial arts legend was shattered!

The shock caused was even greater than that of the Shaolin Temple incident.

People in the martial arts world who had never actually seen Fang Han found it incredible, even unbelievable. However, this matter was spread by the Wudang Sect themselves. If a martial artist was not truly inferior to the other party, how could he do such a thing to boost others' ambitions and destroy his own prestige? So they had to believe it.

The famous sects that had received Fang Han's visit and had seen him were shocked, but not unacceptable.

Just like the Hengshan Sect's leader, Mo Da, he had vaguely felt this at the beginning, and the news of this incident simply confirmed his guess.

Songshan School.

When Zuo Lengchan heard this, his pale face became even uglier and he almost broke down.

When this "Exiled Immortal" had first come to visit him, he had actually considered thwarting their momentum in order to further enhance the prestige of the Songshan Sect. However, he hadn't known they had been preparing for a long time, with the Thirteen Guardians of Songshan all coming out, using both overt and covert tactics, and even him personally taking action...

Not only did he fail to get what he wanted, he was also beaten up and down and seriously injured.

Several of the Thirteen Guardians have been killed, and the rest are still bedridden, their illnesses incurable, and he...

Feeling the stinging coldness in his lungs with every breath, Zuo Lengchan coughed violently a few times. His expression became increasingly pale, and a hint of white frost formed between his brows. He felt extremely cold all over.

When he realized the gap, he had to use his unique skill [Ice Qi] in an attempt to achieve miraculous feat, but he was swept away by the opponent with a casual wave of his hand. The bone-chilling cold air instantly penetrated into his lungs, as if black ice had entered his body, his internal energy stagnated, and his qi and blood were chilled.

He was seriously injured and almost died!

The Songshan Sect suffered a heavy blow and its strength was greatly reduced!

He still sent his disciples to seek famous doctors everywhere, hoping that they could cure the cold damage in his body, but half a year passed and there was no solution at all.

Fortunately, he specialized in practicing [Ice Qi] and had a good resistance to cold injuries. He gradually got through it and managed to hold on.

Hearing that Master Zhang of Wudang was defeated by him, he was shocked and felt a sense of fear in his heart.

Zuo Lengchan frowned, feeling extremely anxious.

It was not only because they had offended such a powerful person, but also because the situation of the Songshan School was extremely embarrassing and dangerous at that time.

Among the Five Mountains Sword Sects, the Songshan Sect was the strongest, and with his martial arts skills, he was able to become the leader.

But at this time, the Songshan Sect was severely weakened, and he himself was seriously injured and unable to recover. With such strength, how could he be the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect?

Although he wanted to conceal the matter in order to delay time, he could not guarantee 0........

It is estimated that the current situation of the Songshan Sect has been noticed by the Hengshan Sect, Taishan Sect, and Huashan Sect.

and......

Zuo Lengchan looked gloomy.

In the past six months, I heard that the former leader of the Sun Moon Sect, Ren Woxing, has returned with a strong momentum, gathering his old subordinates and competing with the current leader of the Sun Moon Sect, Dongfang Bubai, for the position of leader.

Dongfang Bubai is not an easy person to deal with.

There is still internal chaos and the two sides cannot reach an agreement.

Such a thing is actually a great opportunity. If the strength of Songshan Sect has not been damaged, according to Zuo Lengchan's idea, he should now summon the elite personnel of the [Five Mountains Sword Sect] and wait for the opportunity to win while the two sides fight!

But unfortunately, his strength was greatly damaged, and he could only turn a blind eye, thus missing the opportunity to destroy the Sun and Moon Sect and greatly increase the power of the Songshan Sect.

As for the Five Mountains Sword Sects, their overall strength is still there, and the other four sects are quite powerful. If they were to gather together, they might be able to accomplish this...

But in that case, it would have no direct connection with the Songshan School.

It would also directly expose the Songshan Sect's strengths and weaknesses, so Zuo Lengchan naturally wouldn't do that.

Zuo Lengchan thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

I heard that the Qinglong Hall of the Sun Moon Sect was wiped out by that [Exiled Immortal] 4.8, so he and the Sun Moon Sect are enemies. Whether Dongfang Bubai wants to keep his position or Ren Woxing wants to regain power, they must undoubtedly handle this matter properly, otherwise their power will inevitably be reduced, and their own prestige will also be reduced.

only......

Knowing that even Master Zhang was defeated by him, does the Sun and Moon Sect have any thoughts of becoming his enemy?

Zuo Lengchan pondered, his eyes flickering.

It would be better for him to secretly add fuel to the fire and force them to become his enemy.

Driving a tiger to devour a wolf, no matter who wins or loses, it will be extremely beneficial to him.

Chapter 287 Origin!

Shaolin Temple in Songshan.

In the main hall, all the Shaolin monks were discussing this matter.

Their feelings are different from those of other sects and are more complicated.

Previously, they were defeated by Fang Han, and their formations such as the [Eighteen Bronze Men Formation] and the [Vajra Demon Subduing Circle] were broken. In this battle, although it was a competition and exchange, as a Shaolin with a profound foundation, they were defeated so completely that it really ruined the reputation it had built over hundreds of years.

Hearing that the Wudang Sect, also a leading force in the martial arts world, was in the same situation, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and calmed down a little.

People are like this. When something bad happens to you, it will be very uncomfortable if you are the only one there. But if you see another person experiencing the same thing as you, you suddenly feel that it is not so bad.

At this time, many Shaolin monks felt the same way.

In the final analysis, those other famous sects in the past were not enough to compare with Shaolin. Now, the Wudang Sect can be considered a sect of the same level.

and......

Because there is actually a lot of history and gap between Shaolin and Wudang, as well as new and old grudges, many monks, even if they don't say it openly, can't help but feel a subtle sense of gloating in their hearts.

08 You must know that Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang was a disciple of Jueyuan, who was a monk in the Shaolin Scripture Pavilion. This connection is very powerful.

When He Zudao, one of the Three Saints of Kunlun, challenged the Shaolin Temple, Zhang Sanfeng fought back. Although this was a great contribution to Shaolin, it also exposed the fact that he himself practiced Shaolin martial arts.

If one is not a Shaolin disciple but learns Shaolin martial arts, he is learning it by stealing.

At that time, the Shaolin Temple was still fresh in people's minds. Since they had been bitten by a snake once, they would be afraid of the rope for ten years. When Zhang Sanfeng wanted to destroy his martial arts, his master Jueyuan took Zhang Sanfeng and fled away.

Master Jueyuan was originally an ordinary monk. He accidentally saw and realized the "Nine Yang True Classic" in the interlayer of the "Lankavatara Sutra" in the Shaolin Sutra Library. He thought it was a way to strengthen his body, so he practiced it according to the instructions. After many years, he cultivated a powerful "Nine Yang Internal Force"!

In terms of internal strength, he is top-notch!

However, although the [Nine Yang Divine Art] is extremely exquisite and is the essence of the world's top internal energy, there is a major flaw if the meridians, acupoints, and the mysterious gate are not finally opened up to complete this skill!

That is, fullness cannot last long, and it is easy to become discouraged and die!

Although Jueyuan had accumulated a deep [Nine Yang Internal Force], he had not yet practiced the last level, so his energy was insufficient. At that time, he was bound by heavy shackles and chains, and he carried Zhang Sanfeng on a large barrel made of fine iron and fled for more than a hundred miles with the weight. Finally, his internal force was exhausted and he died of exhaustion.

In a hazy state, he recited the contents of the "Nine Yang Manual" in a daze, which was heard by Zhang Sanfeng, the Colorless Zen Master who followed him, and the occasional Emei Patriarch. They all understood something, and this was the origin of the "Wudang Nine Yang Manual", "Shaolin Nine Yang Manual" and "Emei Nine Yang Manual".

Judging from this incident, the relationship between Wudang and Shaolin cannot be said to be good in any way.

This is an old grudge.

There was also the incident with Zhang Cuishan that year, which forced him to commit suicide, and Shaolin had a share of the "credit" for this, so this was a new grudge.

However, in these two cases, the former was indeed because Zhang Sanfeng was self-centered in learning Shaolin martial arts, thus violating Shaolin precepts. In addition, Master Jueyuan had warned him not to violate Shaolin in this way.

As for the latter, when the famous sects came to ask about Xie Xun's whereabouts, Zhang Cuishan was embarrassed, but this was not the main reason for his suicide.

The main reason was actually because of Yu Daying's incident. His senior brother, who was as close to him as a brother, had been paralyzed for many years because of his wife. This made Zhang Cuishan extremely ashamed and angry, but he could not bear to be cruel to his wife with whom he had been together for more than ten years, and he could not avenge his senior brother. With his conscience uneasy, and with the incident of Xie Xun, he committed suicide on the spot.

Although Zhang Sanfeng was extremely sad, he did not really blame Shaolin for this incident.

But in terms of visual experience, how could it be good?

It was just that he was taught martial arts by his mentor, and his martial arts skills, tracing back to the roots, did indeed originate from this. Because of the bond of kinship, he never caused trouble to Shaolin.

There is also the story of Zhang Wuji. At that time, he was deeply affected by the [Mysterious Nether Palm], and the cold poison invaded his internal organs. Zhang Sanfeng and Song Yuanqiao took turns to use their internal energy to protect and drive away the cold, but they were unable to completely eliminate the cold poison from his body. They could only barely prolong his life. They also taught him the [Wudang Nine Yang Gong], but it could only prolong his life for one or two years. In desperation, Zhang Sanfeng visited Shaolin for the first time since he was taken away from Songshan by Master Jueyuan in his youth, and he also wanted to ask for help.

He wanted to exchange the part of the Nine Yang Manual that he had learned with the part from Shaolin, and get the whole text as much as possible, and then teach it to Zhang Wuji to practice, so that he could use his own internal strength to cure the cold poison in his body.

As a result, Shaolin didn't want to change at all and politely refused no matter what we said.

The reason why Shaolin didn't want to change here was not because they looked down on Zhang Sanfeng's martial arts, but for two reasons. The first was that Shaolin had a strong cultural heritage, and there were only a few monks who could master a few of the [72 unique skills]. Therefore, they felt that even if there was one more magical skill, it would be nothing more than icing on the cake and would not bring much real benefit.

The most important thing is that if you agree to the exchange, others will inevitably say:

Although Zhang Zhenren's martial arts originated from Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Shaolin Temple also benefited from it.

Shen was afraid that it would tarnish the reputation of Shaolin, so he didn't change it.

As a result of these events, although Shaolin Temple and Wudang Sect were both the leading figures in the Song Dynasty's martial arts world, their relationship was very ordinary, even relatively indifferent and discordant, with almost no communication between them.

The disciples of Wudang Sect knew the situation of their founder in the past and had a bad impression of Shaolin.

The monks of Shaolin Temple would inevitably feel that it was the biggest mockery of Shaolin Temple that a small Shaolin servant, an abandoned disciple, and a traitor could make such a big name and establish such a great Taoist school, even to the same level as Shaolin Temple.

In fact, in the martial arts world, there are indeed many people who are dissatisfied with Shaolin Temple. They often use this to ridicule Shaolin Temple for being blind, not rewarding meritorious service, but wanting to abolish it. They forced away a peerless genius and grandmaster who could be famous for thousands of years. How unwise is that?

The monks of Shaolin Temple at that time did feel regretful, but the damage was done and it was too late to undo it. They had to fill the hole with tears. Naturally, they would not admit it, and they openly praised Zhang Sanfeng and secretly criticized him, mocking him as a Shaolin abandoner and traitor.

It's just that Zhang Sanfeng was indeed too terrifying. He was self-taught and had no rivals. Shaolin Temple didn't dare to go too far because of his reputation. The two just disliked each other and didn't bother each other.

Now, seeing that the Wudang Master Zhang, who had been invincible for decades and most of his life, was also defeated by the [Exiled Immortal], everyone was shocked and amazed, but also couldn't help but feel excited.

Amitabha......

Finally, someone who can break his undefeated myth appears!

Very happy! Very happy!

Good health and all the best~)

Chapter 288: The Emperor of the Song Dynasty!

Pingding Prefecture.

Several people gathered.

They are all members of the Sun and Moon Sect.

Ren Woxing sat at the head, listening to the reports from his men, his expression moved.

Wudang Master Zhang...

I actually lost!?

When he first heard it, even if he had restrained himself and didn't take it seriously, he still wouldn't have thought that a newcomer could be compared to Master Zhang. But now...

Ren Woxing was lost in thought for a moment before he sighed to himself:

I really underestimated the heroes of the world!

Looking at the shocked expressions of the people sitting below, Ren Woxing frowned slightly.
