Zhang Xuanmeng and the beggars lived in Luoyang City for more than ten days.

On this day, Shaolin Temple's original difficulty and several monks were entrusted by the abbot to invite Zhang Xuanmeng to Shaolin Temple to discuss the friendship of the Taishan Conference. The beggars helped everyone gather for three days, except for those who wanted to go to Mount Tai, and each returned to his own rudder.

Zhang Xuanmeng, Elder Bai, and Elder Niu came to Shaolin Temple with Ben Nan, met with Ben Xu, Ben Xuan and others, and talked about the situation after the breakup. The two were overjoyed to learn that Zhang Xuanmeng's martial arts had improved a lot.

Ben Xuan and Ben Xuan took out the testament left by Master Wu Zen a hundred years ago, showed it to Zhang Xuanmeng, and said: "The secret book of Xuandu not only records the internal strength and heart method, but also records the palm technique and sword technique, I think Ouyang Zhenxiong has learned it."

This is the last mastery of the Xuandu Taoist who recorded the ancestor of Wutai, and it is also the martial arts move he used to defeat the ancestor, you take a good look, although it is not much, only painted by the impression of the ancestor, but in the end there is a bottom in the heart, and there is better than nothing. ”

Zhang Xuanmeng took a closer look from the beginning, and sure enough, he saw that there were three moves similar to the three moves passed on by Ouyang Yuxin. But the three tricks written down by Master Wu and Ouyang Yuxin are far from what Ouyang Yuxin has passed on, and they are not as good as them.

He slowly demonstrated those three moves from beginning to end in front of Ben Xuan and Ben Xuan. When the two of them saw it, they exclaimed in unison, there was such a palm in the world.

Zhang Xuanmeng took the moves memorized by the Zen master, carefully pondered and practiced, borrowed the three moves to change, and integrated the front and back, and supplemented by the guidance of the two people, and actually formed a set of palm and sword techniques. Although this set of palm techniques and swordsmanship is far from the one contained in the secret book, it also integrates the essence of each faction and family, and it is extremely exquisite.

On this day, Benxu and the two accompanied Zhang Xuanmeng to the back mountain to practice swords. But seeing Zhang Xuanmeng on the mountain peak, under the green pine, the sword is like a rainbow, gradually meaning and the sword together, the true qi around the body is agitated, attached to the sword, the light on the tip of the sword flashes non-stop, swallowing and spitting, and the trees and rocks encountered are damaged by it. At the peak of the day, the sword was as long as a zhang, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

The more they looked at it, the more surprised they became, the two of them had long heard that there was a sword mang, and they also knew that the Xuandu Dao people made the sword to the extreme, and occasionally there would be a sword mang, but it would never be as bright as Zhang Xuanmeng in front of him.

Zhang Xuanmeng finished a set of swordsmanship, collected his sword and gathered his energy, and walked towards the two.

Ben Xuan and Ben Xuan looked at each other and smiled, with this person, above the Mount Tai Conference, there will never be any forks, in the martial arts, no one can single out the strength of one person to overwhelm the crowd and dominate the martial arts.

Zhang Xuanmeng soaked that set of palm techniques and swordsmanship, and it took nearly ten days of effort, at this time, there was only one month before the Taishan Conference.

Seeing that the time was approaching, Ben Xuan decided to go to Mount Tai with the beggars ten days later. The beggar gang contacted the disciples to go up the mountain from time to time to report the movements of the various factions, and the Emei, Qingcheng, Kunlun and other factions in the western regions of Sichuan and Shu had already arrived in the Central Plains.

Zhang Xuanmeng remembered that he was looking for Zhu Kexin in Emei Mountain, Sichuan last year, and said in his heart, I don't know if Master Jinguang will come, but I hope to see him again.

On this day, a disciple suddenly came to report that among the five elders who went to Mount Tai in Qingcheng, two elders were killed in Henan. Ben Xuan, Ben Xuan and others were shocked, the reputation of the five elders of Qingcheng has been hanging for more than 30 years, how profound their skills are, how could two people be killed at the same time.

Zhang Xuanmeng urgently ordered the beggars to help his disciples accompany the Shaolin monks down the mountain to find out if anyone from another faction was killed.

Three days later, the disciples who went down the mountain came to report that more than a month ago, in Henan, someone found that the bones of the Kunlun faction's Qiu Shenzi Daoist and three junior disciples and nephews were all killed on the mountain road with a sword.

Zhang Xuanmeng jumped up when he heard this, and exclaimed: "The predecessor of the Kunlun faction, Qiu Shenzi, this letter is true?"

came to report to the disciple and said: "It is true, the body has been sent back to Kunlun. ”

Zhang Xuanmeng asked where several people died, it was the mountain road where they met that day, and he was even more surprised. He told the two of them what he had encountered with Qiu Shenzi that day, and they were also incomprehensible.

Zhang Xuanmeng was suddenly worried about the arrival of Master Jinguang, Qingcheng and Kunlun all died at the hands of that mysterious person, I don't know what happened to the Emei faction, these three factions are all far away in the western regions of Sichuan and Shu.

Urgently ordered the disciples to go down the mountain to report to Elder Sun, go to Shaolin Temple first, and go to Mount Tai together to prevent being left alone on the road. Therefore, I stayed in Shaolin Temple for a few more days.

The monks of Shaolin are ready, and the elite of the temple are exhausted, headed by the abbot of Benxuan, a total of 158 people. Although Benxu has no martial arts, he insists on going.

On this day, the monks under the mountain came to report that Master Jinguang of the Emei faction came to worship the mountain.

Ben Xu, Ben Xuan, and Zhang Xuanmeng were overjoyed and greeted each other outside the mountain gate. I saw that the white beard of the Golden Light Master was fluttering, and his spirit was shining, just like last year.

Zhang Xuanmeng hurried up to meet and bowed down. Master Jinguang turned sideways and said: "Gang Master Zhang, you are now the leader of the beggar gang, and your status in the martial arts is still above me, the old man does not dare to accept your big gift, please hurry up." ”

Zhang Xuanmeng had no choice but to get up and see each other again.

Master Jinguang laughed and said: "What a hero is a young man, the Ruan Gang Master has a unique vision, but unfortunately I didn't think of leaving you on Mount Emei as a monk that day to pass on my mantle." ”

Ben Xuan and Ben Xuan laughed when they heard this. Benxu and Master Jinguang were friends when they were young, and they didn't want to see each other again in a blink of an eye, and they were all old monks with white eyebrows and white beards, and they had some feelings.

This time, there were more than 50 people in Emei, and the monk Yuliu was also among them, and Zhang Xuanmeng talked to him alone.

In the evening, Ben Xuan invited Master Jinguang and Zhang Xuanmeng into a quiet room of the Dharma Academy, and Ben Xuan was also present.

Ben Xuan said: "Master Jinguang, this Taishan Conference is related to the growth and decline of good and evil in martial arts, and it is a grand event that has not been encountered in a century, in your opinion, how should this conference be?"

Master Jinguang said: "Abbot Benxuan, this meeting is related to the martial arts people, we must not be careless and cautious. Since Ouyang Zhenxiong, the leader of the Shura Sect, dared to propose an appointment with the Orthodox Sect on Mount Tai, thinking that he had made great strides in martial arts, he couldn't say that he had practiced the mental method on the Xuandu Secret Script, and he had the magic skills of the Xuandu Daoist a hundred years ago. Otherwise, with his previous skills, he was not above the head of Xuanji, and he would never dare to meet so rashly. ”

Ben Xuan said: "Master Mingjian, according to what Gang Master Zhang learned from Miss Ouyang, that Ouyang Zhenxiong is indeed martial arts now, and he is not under the Xuandu Dao people back then. In this martial arts conference, he must want to overwhelm the crowd with peerless martial arts, win the first place in the world, and force the heroes of the world to bow down. ”

Master Jinguang said: "Since this is the case, there will inevitably be a big battle on the top of Mount Tai. But if the strength of the Shura Sect is compared with the entire Martial Arts Orthodox Sect, there is a huge disparity, and I think Ouyang Zhenxiong also knows this. At that time, he will definitely try his best to take only a few fights, or compare them with the highest martial arts, so as to avoid a scuffle between the two sides. ”

Benxu said: "Master Jinguang is right. But if Ouyang Zhenxiong brings this up in a dignified manner, we can't refuse it. In martial arts, it is about fighting alone and competing fairly, which is also the morality of our martial arts orthodox church, which calls itself orthodox. What's more, if it is really a scuffle, the good and evil factions have accumulated evil for many years, but I am afraid that there will be a river of blood on Mount Tai, countless casualties, and it will become a Shura slaughterhouse. We will never allow this situation to occur for the livelihood of Wulin Cang. Otherwise, what kind of Buddha are we cultivating, and what kind of Zen are we talking about?"
