Chapter 176: The Mystery of the Weakest Iron Fist in History
Lei Gong took the stick to appreciate the new look of Kunlun. Compared with decades ago, Kunlun has really undergone earth-shaking changes now.
Kunlun was originally a sacred place for martial arts in China. It is different from Wudang, Shaolin and other martial arts holy places that have been praised by the mass film and television media with various names and publicity.
In this world, Kunlun is a place where the inheritance of true martial arts has never been broken. How long has Kunlun existed? Probably how long China has a history, Kunlun has a long history.
There are many legends about the birth of Kunlun, and it is said that Kunlun was originally the land of immortals. Immortals from all walks of life once gathered here to recruit disciples.
But the immortal spells are not suitable for mortals to cultivate, so the immortals transform the immortal methods into martial arts that ordinary people can cultivate. And this is the earliest origin of Kunlun martial arts, and then through the rulers of Kunlun dynasties, as well as the geniuses who have been emerging for thousands of years, the martial arts passed down by the immortal family have been continuously improved and created, becoming more suitable for ordinary people to cultivate, and Kunlun's power has grown stronger and stronger.
Although it is said that Kunlun martial arts comes from immortal law, these stories have elements of myths and legends, but the divine dragon enshrined on the top of Kunlun Mountain proves this statement from another aspect. Kunlun may really have a constant relationship with the Immortal Family. Maybe everything is true.
And the chivalrous legends in ancient China that the martial arts masters are mostly disciples who have come down from Kunlun Mountain to practice in Hongchen. And they taught some less important outer door exercises to people in the outside world. Just like Shaolin, Wudang or those sects that have appeared in legends, most of their exercises actually originated in Kunlun.
It's hard to say in other worlds, but in this Marvel world, the saying that the world has learned Shaolin is a bit incorrect. To be more precise, it should be the world's martial arts out of Kunlun.
However, the outer door exercises in the outside world are always just ordinary outer door exercises. It is impossible for Kunlun disciples to pass on the true core exercises within their Kunlun. Coupled with the turbulence of the times, for thousands of years, the land of China has always been divided for a long time, and the land of China must be divided for a long time, and such wars have led to the inheritance of the outside world is always easy to interrupt.
When the martial arts of the outside world has become a myth and legend, Kunlun still has never broken the inheritance.
Especially the huge dragon palace on the top of Kunlun Mountain. Inside is enshrined the dragon longevity. Each generation of Iron Fist candidates had to climb to the top of Kunlun Mountain to undergo various tests, and finally they were favored by the dragon before they could accept the power of the dragon.
And each Iron Fist will receive the power of the dragon and polish it carefully. Iron Fist, which has the power of the dragon, is in the limelight for the most part.
When the life of the Iron Fist is at the end of its life, it will return the power of the Divine Dragon to the Divine Dragon Temple. No one can bring the power of the dragon into their own tomb.
On the contrary, after they carefully polished and cultivated the power of the Divine Dragon, the power of the Divine Dragon would become more and more powerful.
This is just like the wedding dress magic skill cultivated by Yan Nantian in the ancient dragon. The inheritance of the Iron Fist is passed down one by one, and it should be stronger from generation to generation.
Of course, there have been some problems in the inheritance of Iron Fist. For example, when the phoenix attacked thousands of years ago, Wu Fengji, who was the Iron Fist, exhausted the power of the dragon and his own bloodline essence, and smashed the phoenix that could destroy the earth with one punch.
Wu Fengji is the kind of genius that can only be met once in 5,000 years. The power of the dragon is extremely powerful in her hands, and she is the most capable of the Iron Fist of all ages. She has a very good compatibility with the power of the dragon and is a natural dragon girl.
Uphold the heart of justice, abide by the way of the dragon's protection. She lived her way and carried out her philosophy.
Guarding the earth shattered the phoenix, but at the cost of his own fall, and the power of the dragon accumulated for thousands of years was exhausted, leaving only the dragon fire to return to the dragon hall.
The second Kunlun Iron Fist inheritance encountered huge twists and turns, which occurred in the Ming Dynasty. The Iron Fist that fought against the Wako and was deceived in the end, causing the power of the Inner Demon Dragon to dissipate. Although he did not exhaust the power of the Divine Dragon like Wu Fengji, he also made the power of the Divine Dragon damaged and needed to accumulate again.
After visiting Lei Gong all over Kunlun, he finally took him into a rest room on the mountainside of Kunlun Mountain. This is not only a lounge, but also an entrance to the Dragon Hall on the top of the mountain.
Every Tekken tournament starts here and climbs upwards. The middle contestants will encounter various obstacles, and only those who overcome these obstacles are eligible to meet the dragon.
In the break room, Lei Gong waved his hand at the two personnel on duty. The two of them withdrew very interestingly.
Lei Gong asked the stickman to sit down, and instead went to make a cup of tea for the stick. This is a very rude thing in the relationship between master and apprentice in China, how can the apprentice let the master make tea? He wanted to help, but was pressed into a chair by Lei Gong and couldn't move.
"Alright, drink, you don't look as good as I am right now. Lei Gong forcibly handed a cup of soaked Biluochun to the stick Suo's hand.
"I'm bringing you here, I guess you know what I mean. Lei Gong took the hot tea and asked lightly.
There was some nervousness. He naturally knew why Lei Gong asked him to come here again.
Because I made the biggest mistake here before. When the young stick joined Kunlun, he also heard the legend of the iron fist of the past dynasties.
Once young, he was also extremely envious and longing, hoping that he would one day become such a legendary peerless master.
But at that time, it was strange that the previous iron fist was obviously dying. His body could no longer control the power of the Divine Dragon, so he had already returned the power of the Divine Dragon early.
It stands to reason that the new Iron Fist selection should start at this time, but Lei Gong, the ruler of Kunlun, has not announced the start of the next round of Iron Fist selection.
Most people don't dare to question Lei Gong's decision, because Lei Gong always has a reason for doing so.
But the young stick was a little arrogant and proud. He was extremely eager to become an iron fist, so he secretly climbed the entrance of this dragon palace located halfway up the mountain several times.
Looking at the huge dragon palace on the top of the mountain, I longed for the day when I could become an iron fist. However, this place usually does not allow ordinary Kunlun disciples to come up at all.
But at that time, when he was young, he was very good, evaded the inspection of the guards and sneaked in, and he still did this kind of thing again and again.
After he came, he didn't do anything else, just stayed here and hoped that the intersection to the dragon hall would suddenly open, and the dragon would be able to see that he had chosen himself to become an iron fist.
Originally, it wasn't a big deal to come secretly, even if he was caught, at most he would be scolded or locked up in a small black house. But that day he heard something he should never have heard. I saw something I should never have seen.
For this reason, Lei Gong destroyed his eyes and drove him out of Kunlun, and at the same time forced him to make a heavy oath that he would never pass on a word of what he saw and heard that day. Otherwise, at the end of the earth, I will definitely kill him!
Today, Lei Gong brings up the old things again. Sticksy smiled bitterly: "I know. I heard things I shouldn't have heard, I saw things I shouldn't have seen, and I realized why the last two generations of Iron Fist were so weak. ”
"Especially the modern-day Iron Fist Daniel, who can't even be the top spot in a second-rate superhero organization like the Avengers. ”
"Although it is true that the power of the Divine Dragon has been greatly reduced after two dissipations, in the hundreds of years since the Ming Dynasty, the Iron Fist of the past dynasties has continued to polish and cultivate the power of the Divine Dragon. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the power of the dragon had recovered a lot. At least it can reach the strength level of the Manchurian Zhang Tong in the Battle of New York. ”
The stick clutched the teacup tightly. His tone trembled a little.
"I know, because I have seen and heard what you have said. Because the power of the divine dragon has dissipated!"
Lei Gong stared at the stick tightly, and after a long time, he drank all the tea in the cup in his hand. Lei Gong let out a sigh of relief and said, "So in recent decades, many people in Kunlun Mountain have doubted me. I felt like I had a trick up my sleeve with the Iron Fist tryouts, and I allowed two Americans to inherit the Iron Fist twice in a row. ”
"But how well they understand my hard work, yes, I did all kinds of tricks and feet in the competition, and excluded every talented Kunlun player from the competition. Even if you can get into the game, you will lose because of various setbacks. ”
"Why do you want Randall and his son to inherit the Iron Fist one after another? That's because the power of the dragon is gone. I can only give them the power of a pseudo-divine dragon with the breath of a divine dragon. ”
"Foreigners always don't know much about Chinese culture. They always have some plausible understanding, and my foolishness, so they don't question what's wrong with this dragon's power. But if it were to be replaced by a native Chinese fighter who inherited Iron Fist, then no matter what I say or what excuse I use, it will only take them a few years to find out that the power of the dragon is fake. ”
"So Daniel inherited the iron fist of this term, and I don't regret it at all. He has no doubts about his dragon iron fist, and I will not stop him from going to the United States. ”
"I want Daniel to live a long life, preferably a hundred or two hundred years. Lei Gong was also very helpless.
"Because I can't conjure the power of the dragon! Without an iron fist, can Kunlun still maintain cohesion?!"
Listening to Lei Gong's words, he didn't know whether to envy or sympathize with the experience of Daniel's father and son.
But in any case, it is also an honor to inherit the title of Iron Fist. I couldn't ask for it back then, and I paid a huge price for it.
Thinking of this, Lei Gong's heart suddenly moved, Lei Gong was willing to talk about this with him, does it mean that he has forgiven his original mistakes?
