Chapter 154: The Nine Great Sects

The Shaolin Temple is very large, and after a circle, when Qingchong has introduced all of them to Meng Zuo, it is close to noon, and Meng Zuo and Qingchong will go to the hall to eat fast.

When I came to the hall, I saw a bunch of Shaolin disciples eating on the table with their bright heads, but Qingchong didn't seem to stop to eat with them, but walked straight forward.

"This is the outer hall, where ordinary disciples eat, and the inner hall is where the elders and abbots eat, but since we are going to participate in the martial arts conference, we will also make an exception during this time to let us go in to eat, and we can also discuss the difficulties and bottlenecks encountered in cultivation with the abbot elder during the meal. Qing Chong said, with a slight smug look on his face, "How about it, is it a great treatment to participate in the martial arts conference?"

Meng Zuo is not interested in this, he does not practice martial arts now, and there is no bottleneck in his cultivation that needs the help of the elders, and the Shaolin Temple does not give meat to eat, so whether it is in the outer hall or the inner hall, it is very different for him.

But he didn't want to ruin Qingchong's excitement, so he also smiled and nodded.

"Hmm. Qing Chong nodded with satisfaction, "You are not like Senior Brother Zhixin and Senior Brother Wen Xuan, one with a bitter melon face and one stuffy oil bottle, they don't like to talk, during this time, I can at least have a companion." ”

"Senior brother, what exercises are you practicing in Shaolin Temple?" Meng Zuo suddenly thought of something, shook his head and asked.

"Well, I practice sticks, but I have also practiced some of my fists and feet, as for the specific exercises...... Qing Chong shook his head, "I don't say that a person only practices one kind of kung fu in his life, kung fu is all integrated, you need to know different martial arts in order to eventually become a real master." ”

Meng Zuo thought about it for a while, thinking of Su Mei, he knew several martial arts, and suddenly he realized it, so he nodded.

"Senior brother, how many martial arts do you know?"

"Seven or eight. Qing Chong thought about it and reported the number.

"So many?" Meng Zuo said in surprise.

"It's not too much, it's not worth mentioning. Qing Chong touched the back of his head, feeling that his body was light and fluttering, and he loved him as a new junior brother more and more.

"Come, let's get to the table, we'll have a table with Master Kongwen. ”

Meng Zuo and the others had already passed through the outer hall, looking at the inner hall, which was very different from the outer hall, the tables in the outer hall were all big and long square tables, a long table could accommodate dozens of disciples, which seemed very crowded, but the inner hall was very spacious, five round wooden tables were lined up, and the middle table sat the three people of Master Kongwen and Zhixin Wenxuan, and on the table on the side sat the elders.

Meng Zuo glanced at it and saw a familiar figure.

"Elder Zhang. ”

Elder Zhang also saw him, but after taking a look, he blushed and continued to eat.

After all, the morning had just passed, and he still remembered it clearly, how he insulted people at that time, and asked them to kneel and kowtow, and now he is really a little embarrassed.

Meng Zuo only glanced at Elder Zhang, and didn't go over to say hello, after all, he had nothing to do with him, and it would be good if he didn't settle accounts with him.

"Teacher, I'm here. ”

Meng Zuo stepped forward and saluted Master Kongwen with Qing Chong.

"Well, good. Kong Wen looked at him with a smile, as if looking at this favorite child, "Qingchong has already introduced the Shaolin Temple to you?"

"Yes. Meng Zuo nodded, "Senior Brother Qingchong has told me everything. ”

"Hahaha, okay, come, sit down and eat, I just happened to tell you about this martial arts conference. Kong Wen waved his hand and motioned for Meng Zuo and Qing Chong to sit down.

"Teacher, please speak. "Meng Zuo has a lot of respect for all kinds of teachers, just as he has for doctors.

Doctors, teachers, and Chinese soldiers, these are the three professions that Meng Zuo respects the most.

"Well, come, eat vegetables, let's talk while eating. ”

Meng Zuo glanced at it, and on this table were Master Kongwen and Zhixin, Wen Xuan, Qing Chong and himself.

Zhixin just cared about eating vegetables, Qing Chong was afraid that he was also hungry, so he picked up the vegetables and began to eat, but Wen Xuan glanced at him coldly and ate very slowly.

It seems that this senior brother really doesn't have a good impression of me.

Meng Zuo thought, feeling helpless.

The world is unpredictable, and it is really difficult to take care of everyone's emotions.

"Meng Zuo, do you know that there are nine major sects in the rivers and lakes?"

Everyone ate for a while, and then Kong Wen asked.

"Nine major sects?" Meng Zuo was slightly puzzled, he was just an artist, and he really didn't know much about things on the martial arts side.

(Here is borrowing some of the settings in the martial arts novel Wo Longsheng's 1958 "Feiyan Shocking Dragon", no way, this book is too classic, I dare not say that I have read martial arts novels without borrowing it.) ）

"Yes, they are the Shaolin faction, the Wudang faction, the Huashan faction, the Kunlun faction, the Diancang faction, the Kongtong faction, the Snow Mountain faction, the Qingcheng faction and the Emei faction. Kong Wen responded, "Every martial arts conference, the nine major factions will send people at the level of alliance leaders to sit at the front desk to judge the winners and losers. ”

"Hundreds of years ago, the Nine Sects were established, and at that time, the Shaolin and Wudang factions were the most prosperous and had many disciples, while the other seven factions could only take a back seat. Of course, there are some other sects with all kinds of strange martial arts, but none of them can be compared with our nine factions, the term nine factions, just like this from ancient times to the present, although now some sects are even more than the nine factions, but the position of the nine factions has not changed for the time being. "When I talk about old things, my eyes are bright.

"I'll give you an introduction. Kong Wen continued, he had already finished eating, old man, he didn't eat much.

"Well, I'd like to hear about it. Meng Zuo nodded.

"Shaolin School, there is no need to introduce it in detail, our Shaolin Temple is the Shaolin School, however, because the Shaolin Temple has become more and more popular in recent years, there are three other Shaolin Temples, which belong to our branches, and each branch will also send a person to participate in the competition. ”

"Next, it's the Wudang faction, the Wudang faction has always been very strong, it has been the peak since the founding of the sect, hundreds of years, its peak has not passed, and they have also won the championship of four consecutive martial arts conferences. I think when I was young, I had such a feat. Kong Wen sighed.

"Master, you and Abbot Kongzheng won the championship for the Shaolin Temple for six consecutive times at that time, and they were only the fourth time. Qing Chong interjected.

"But the martial arts wizard of the Wudang faction is still very young, no accident, he will definitely participate this year, who can beat him?" Kong Wen said with a wry smile, "At that time, the Shaolin faction won the championship for six consecutive years, and it was obtained by me and my senior brother, but the leader of these sessions was all fought by that kid alone." ”

Except for Meng Zuo, the expressions of the others were obviously wrong, and they all fell silent.

"That person, is it really that strong?" Meng Zuo asked tentatively.

"Peerless genius. ”

He was responded to with only four empty words, but they were enough to explain the seriousness of the problem.

"But don't be nervous, our goal is not to win the championship, as long as we keep the position of our nine major factions. ”

"Will the positions of the Nine Great Sects change?" Meng Zuo was a little surprised.

"Naturally, it will change, and besides, this is our last chance. Kong Wen sighed, his eyes a little gloomy.

"I'll talk to you about this in detail later, and I'll tell you about the situation of the nine major factions first. Kong Wen adjusted his mood and continued, as the abbot of Shaolin Temple, although he was also panicked, he couldn't show it.

"The Huashan faction, this sect, can be traced back to the Qin and Han dynasties. A very ancient sect, its faction's major swordsmanship, relying on the two characteristics of strange and dangerous, can always get very good results unexpectedly, last year, the Huashan faction also appeared a genius, although in the end did not defeat the Wudang faction of the child, but it is also very good, that set of three immortal swords, ordinary people can not catch. ”

"The Kunlun faction, the sect stands in the Western Regions, generally does not appear in the Central Plains, there was an uncommon person back then, so that the Kunlun faction became one of the nine major factions, in recent years, the development of the Kunlun faction is not fast or slow, and the achievements are also decent, and there is no need to elaborate on it now. ”

"After that, it's the Diancang faction. The name Diancang Pai should be very unfamiliar to you, an outsider. Kong Wen smiled.

Meng Zuo nodded, in fact, he only knew Shaolin Wudang and Huashan, and the others were not very familiar, and the Cang Sect and the Snow Mountain Sect were even more unheard of.

"Although it may seem strange to you, its strength should not be underestimated. However, the people sent from Diancang are not suitable for the martial arts conference, so the results are only decent. ”

"Why not?"

If you don't understand, just ask, this is a habit that Meng Zuo has developed.

"The swordsmanship of the Diancang faction is light and cloudy, and there are few deadly swordsmanship, and its Zhenshan swordsmanship requires seven people to work together to exert its maximum effect, so the martial arts conference is actually not suitable for the people of the Diancang faction. ”

"There is also the Kongtong faction, majoring in palm and boxing, there are indeed a few geniuses born in the Kongtong faction in the past ten years, but the two wizards of the Wudang and Huashan factions are too dazzling, covering up the light of the Kongtong faction. ”

"The Snow Mountain Sect, which is also a great faction in the Western Regions, majoring in internal force and hidden weapons, is unguardable, light skills and swordsmanship are tools to assist them in luck and throwing hidden weapons, you must be careful of their hidden weapons when you compete with the people of the Snow Mountain Sect. ”

Meng Zuo nodded seriously, this is a matter of his personal safety, and he has to be careful.

"The Qingcheng faction, the Taoist sect of cultivating Neidan, mainly practices the mantra of 'Wu Wei', that is, keeping nothing to cause emptiness. It is divided into three levels: the initial starting effort is 'keeping the middle and achieving harmony', the second step is 'one to ten thousand', and the third step is 'ten thousand to one, one to nothingness'. Most of the younger generation are in the middle of maintaining peace, but I heard that two years ago, there was also a disciple in the Qingcheng faction who raised the realm to 'one to ten thousand'. If the news is true, it will also be a tricky opponent for us. ”

"There is one last sect, the Emei faction. Kong Wen breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "About Emei, I only want to say one thing - the world's martial arts are out of Emei. ”

————————————————

Let's talk about it here, at the beginning, it was really the world's martial arts out of Emei, but China came out with a movie called "Shaolin", which changed this sentence to the world's martial arts out of Shaolin, and later spread, in fact, according to the origin, it should be the world's martial arts out of Emei.
