Chapter VII Shaolin Temple

Speaking of Xiao Ling, the descendants who can make Xiao Ling look at each other are Duan Qingfeng of Wudang and Ji Lianhong of the Nanwu faction of the Quanzhen Sect. The Quanzhen Nanwu Sect was founded by Tan Chuduan, one of the Northern Seven Truths of the Quanzhen Sect earlier, and at that time, the seven sons of Quanzhen were all famous, and the Nanwu Sect founded by Tan Chuduan was not much worse than the Changchun Palace of the Qiu Chuji at the beginning of its establishment.

But time has passed, and in the generation of Ji Lianhong's ancestors, the Nanwu faction began to fall in martial arts, not only because of the economic reasons of the Taoist temple, but also because of the loss of martial arts. Ji Lianhong's sixth generation descendant, Ma Weishan, a native of Jinan, Shandong, although he failed to inherit all the martial arts of his ancestors, let alone carry it forward, but he could also stand proudly on the rivers and lakes with his perfect pure yang skills, and became one of the five masters of Danyangzi in the same period.

It is a pity that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and things often develop towards a worse situation, and the Nanwu faction, which has lost many essence martial arts, is even more difficult to pass down in Ma Weishan's generation, and even almost all of them are lost. It turned out that not long after Ma Weishan took over as the head of the teaching, he once went into the mountains to collect medicine, but he didn't know what happened to Lu Dao, so he came back in a panic, his face was pale but he was silent.

After that, Ma Weishan closed the door, and ten days later, when the disciples delivered the meal, they found that Ma Weishan drove the crane to the west, and the feather soared. The so-called feathering is not an adjective, Ma Weishan's body is covered with feathers, which is quite charming, like becoming an immortal. The disciples rushed out wildly, crying and calling for someone, but when everyone arrived at the room, they found that Ma Weishan's body was gone, and only a piece of Yulin was left on the bed.

Ma Weishan's incompleteness of the Ten Pure Yang Gong has since been lost, and the Southern Wu Sect has almost collapsed. Decades later, a young talent came out to save the Nan Wu faction, and he didn't know what happened to him. He actually learned most of the lost kung fu of the Nanwu faction, and of course, the first thing he learned was naturally the famous Ten Pure Yang Gong. Needless to say, this person is Ji Lianhong, but these are all rumors in the rivers and lakes, and outsiders don't know how much of the truth is there.

The last of the five heroes is the sword king Cui Ying, but there is no news of this person after he crisscrosses the rivers and lakes. To this day, no one knows exactly where he went. The Lu family's ancestor took the life of the thirteen swords, such a unique prestige in the world can be forgotten by the world, which is enough to see the power of time, not to mention the sword king Cui Ying, who has four people who can stand side by side.

So now I talk about this man. No one has known each other for a long time. Even if someone makes a sudden realization, he reports the name of a person in the rivers and lakes, most of them admit it wrongly, but it is just a small person with the same name and surname. That is, the disciples of Nanwu Shaolin and Wudang, who have the four masters, can also mention Cui Ying from time to time. is nothing more than boasting about his ancestor. It's just a matter of mentioning it in passing.

Cui Ying disappeared, Ma Weishan feathered, the old sword god drove the crane west, and now there are Danyangzi and Shaolin Wendou masters who are still there today.

Master Wendou is a high monk of the literary generation, and saying that he is a high monk does not mean that his personal inner and Buddhist cultivation is high, naturally these are not low, but the people of the rivers and lakes call him a high monk. Mostly because of his high martial arts attainments. As the name suggests, there is a fighting character in the Dharma name of the Wendou monk. It seems that the person who gave him the name did not follow the rules and rank down according to a specific poetic law. This shows that the senior monks have seen through his nature, and the monk Wendou is competitive in his life, and if he hears that someone has a very high martial arts skill or a famous character somewhere, he will definitely throw down the scriptures and go to challenge.

This kind of competitiveness is extremely contrary to the idea of Buddhism, if others would have been expelled from the teacher a long time ago, but the monk Wendou is gifted and quick-witted, and can often use martial arts to cover Buddhism, but it can also be regarded as the practice and perception that a monk should have. Wen Dou learned many stunts of Shaolin Temple at the age of thirty and became a treasure of Shaolin, which is also a major reason why Shaolin endured him again and again, but it was a big mistake after all.

Monk Wendou was forty-five years old at that time, after the death of the master, although the martial arts are not as good as Wendou, but the moral and moral values and the profound Buddhism of Wen Zai as the abbot, Wen Zai is the junior disciple of Wen Dou. The master can't control the monk Wendou, and Wenzai, as a junior brother, is even more uncontrollable, even if he is the abbot of Shaolin Temple, it is difficult to restrain Wendou.

After five years of penance, he practiced a total of eight forbidden skills of Shaolin Temple, and then thought that he was invincible in the world, so he went down the mountain to challenge the world's heroes.

The ancients said, twenty weak crowns, thirty and standing, forty not confused, fifty knowing the destiny of heaven. It is said that at such an age, even if Monk Wendou is not a monk with a pure heart and few desires to eat fasting and chant Buddha, he should have a calm temperament. How do you know that Wen Dou is still in the same situation as a young man, his personality is strong and uninhibited, and he will explode at a moment, although he is not barbaric, he does not have the appearance of a monk at all, except for the study of martial arts, he can't calm down and think at all at other times. So, Wen Dou resolutely went down the mountain.

After going down the mountain, the Wendou monk challenged anyone, and no one responded, because everyone else knew that the Wendou monk was powerful, and the enemy with him could only bring humiliation on himself. There are only four people who fought with Wendou Monk for three days and three nights, this is Danyangzi, Cui Ying, Ma Weishan and the old sword god, so they are listed as the five heroes in the world with Wendou Monk.

Monk Wendou was very distressed, he couldn't figure it out, he couldn't find a way to restrain the other four, if he went back to the mountain to study again, how many more years of practice, it would inevitably make his fellow disciples laugh. Monk Wendou is very competitive, and naturally he also loves face, so he thought of a way, which is a method that most martial arts idiots are keen on, and the sword demon Guo Feng has also used it. That is to challenge all the people in the world who practice martial arts, to learn the martial arts of others at the moment of defeat and death in the duel, and then absorb and combine the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought to finally become a great person.

But Monk Wendou is a person from Shaolin Temple after all, he is different from the sword demon Guo Feng a few years later, he still cares about the face of some Shaolin Temple, and he can't rashly challenge others, and he can't use those violent and despicable methods to force others if others don't fight. As a result, the monk Wendou, who could not show up in public, hid his whereabouts, took the identity of a masked man, and ended up cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, and did several big cases on the rivers and lakes without evidence.

The people who were killed were all famous people in the rivers and lakes, so the heroes of the world found five heroes and asked them to come forward to organize the heroes to find the murderer and bring him to justice. Monk Wendou had the opportunity to compete. So he framed a few people in the rivers and lakes with special martial arts, and took the lead in subduing them, so not only did the world's heroes not think anything strange. On the contrary, everyone praised the monk Wendou as a living Buddha, presiding over justice in the world, subduing demons and eliminating demons, compassion, and truly the great Buddha of the world.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, since ancient times, the reincarnation of retribution has been tried and tested, and one day someone discovered Wen Dou's impure motives and the crimes he committed, and at that time, the martial arts colleagues and the four people standing side by side with Wen Dou have pointed the finger at Wen Dou. Although Wen Dou likes to be competitive but not stupid, otherwise he would not be able to comprehend the mystery of those Shaolin mastery, he knows that no matter how high his martial arts are, he is invincible with two fists and four hands. At this point, only Shaolin can save his life.

Wen Dou ran back to Shaolin Temple, and Wen Zai apologized to everyone in person. and promised to imprison Wen Dou, the date is thirty years, and then the heroes of the world will accept it. In fact, the heroes are not willing to accept it, but they are also helpless. As the saying goes. The world's martial arts are out of Shaolin. Shaolin disciples, lay disciples and fellow Buddhist disciples are all over the country, flourishing, and they have rushed to support Shaolin for a while.

It's not that the people of Shaolin are united, but these people all rely on the big tree of Shaolin, once Shaolin falls down, there will be no darts to catch, and the martial arts hall will have no futile collection, so one will be prosperous and one will be lost. The relationship is flesh and blood, so it is necessary to come to support. In this case, there is a lot of pressure on the world's leaders who come to accountability.

Even if the power of the world's martial arts colleagues is gathered, it will not be able to subvert Shaolin, at most it will be a lose-lose fight, so after discussion, people decided to believe the words of the Shaolin abbot Wen Zai and imprisoned Wen Dou for thirty years. Since then, Wen Dou has been imprisoned, and he has not yet reached the age limit.

After the past is over, I will talk about the reason why Zhang Qingze and Shaolin monks and other martial arts people from various sects gather in Hongluo Temple. In fact, it's very simple, this gathering is not to do chaos or anything, but to discuss the strength of the united martial arts in the world, resist the Japanese and resist the Western Regions and the Great Demon Sect, as well as the turmoil in the frontier.

This is a great plan for the country and the people, and the righteous path of martial arts is mostly to eliminate evil, promote good, protect the family and defend the country, and other iron-blooded things as their own responsibility, so this assembly is purely for justice. The initiator is Shaolin's abbot Wu Su, but now Wu Su has not yet arrived, and he is currently sending his senior brother Wu Chan and Wu Fa to preside over the overall situation, both of whom are Shaolin Four King Kongs, but Wu Fa has a violent personality, Wu Chan is too desireless, and it is difficult to achieve great things, and the control of the overall situation is also improper.

Speaking of Wusu, this person can be described as very mysterious, his common surname is Chen, he is from Yuzhou, but he can't find out more specifically, only know that he was twenty years old before he went up the mountain to become a monk.

Most of the abbots of Shaolin Temple have been ordained since childhood, and they were ordained at the age of 20, and the monks who have become monks like Wusu halfway are the most to be a Zen master, and it is unheard of to be able to become the abbot of Shaolin Temple. After entering the temple, Wu must worship the Buddhist monk and Lama as a teacher, practice for ten years and leave the temple, practice at the foot of Zhongtiao Mountain for three months and then live on the top of Mount Emei, and think about life in Buddhism. Then he walked through the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty and even the Western Regions, and finally found the way in his heart, so he stayed in the capital, printed a number of Buddha Sutras in the Ji Chan Nunnery, and finally found his own Buddhist way, and then returned to the Shaolin Temple.

In the second year of Jiajing, the abbot Wen Zai passed away, and Wu Su served as the abbot, which did not have any rumors and dissatisfaction from the Shaolin Temple at all, and everyone seemed to support this slightly young new abbot Wu Su. But outsiders can't see through, Shaolin is the holy land of Buddhism, but also the martial arts on Mount Tai Beidou, whether it is enlightenment or enlightenment Zen are famous in the martial arts, the high martial arts are known to the world, although it is not the task of walking on the rivers and lakes, nor is it a strong person who swaggers through the city, but no one dares to doubt their skills.

Wufa is a strong kung fu of the outside family, and Wu Zen is an internal practice, the two have their own skills, although the two are not in Shaolin responsible for knowing guests and learning from the warrior monks, and the rivers and lakes are mostly legends, but it should be true. The abbot Wusu even has no legend, no one praises his profound Buddhism, and no one preaches his martial arts, so why can he sit on the throne of the Shaolin Temple? This may only be known to the people of Shaolin Temple. (To be continued......)

PS: Most of the names of the ministers involved in China and the official positions held at that time in this book are historically traceable, and history is basically respected, except for the protagonist Lu Bing, of course, otherwise it would be impossible to write. In addition, in addition to Zhang Qingze's apocryphal fabrication at the beginning of Wudang, the rest of the sect heads and experiences are also historical facts, such as the abbots of the Shaolin dynasties and the heads of the Nanwu faction, etc., this is a work of heart, and the writing is slightly inappropriate, please forgive me
