Chapter 103 The Development of the Huashan School
Bidding farewell to Ren Yingying, Shen Chengping hurriedly whipped up, and finally returned to the foot of Mount Hua after more than ten days, returned to the mountain, and asked the disciples of the outer gate courtyard under the mountain, and knew that Yue Buqun had returned to Mount Hua a few days ago, and ordered that as long as Shen Chengping came back, he would go to see him, Shen Chengping did not dare to delay, walked up the mountain quickly, and soon saw Yue Buqun in the Zhengqi Hall.
"Ping'er, you're back! What happened on the way that delayed you? According to the original arrangement, Shen Chengping should have returned to Huashan a few days earlier than Yue Buqun, but now it is a few days late, so that Yue Buqun couldn't help but be a little worried after returning to Huashan, and wanted to send a disciple to look for it, but he was afraid of making a big fuss and attracting the attention of those who cared about it, so he could only wait patiently, and now he saw Shen Chengqun coming back safe and sound, and his heart was also quite excited.
"Master, don't worry, I haven't been noticed along the way, and I haven't been tracked by the Demon Sect!" Shen Chengping said with a smile: "I have also brought back these cheats completely, and the next thing is to sort them out and choose a disciple to teach them." ”
"Yes!" Yue Buqun bowed slightly, and said: "There is another half a month is the ceremony of my Huashan faction to accept disciples, this is also the first large-scale recruitment of disciples by my Huashan faction after the sword qi dispute, and now my Huashan faction has regained control of most of Guanzhong, and most of the martial arts of your generation of disciples are gradually taking shape, and the teacher intends to recruit more disciples, the other courtyard under the mountain has been expanded, and then the house on the mountain will also be renovated to accommodate more disciples in the future. Let Chong'er take care of them for the time being, Ping'er, do you really plan to be the first elder of the Dharma Transmission Hall? ”
"The disciple's mind has been decided, and I hope that the master will fulfill it!" Hearing Yue Buqun's question, Shen Chengping immediately replied.
"Hey, since that's the case, then it's not reluctant to be a teacher, just be a teacher and be able to be the head of the school for a decade or two, waiting for other disciples to grow up." Yue Buqun said with a somewhat regretful tone.
The reason why the two of them said this is precisely because according to the reform plan of the Huashan faction discussed by the two people, the first elder of this Dharma Transmission Hall is responsible for taking care of the Tibetan Dao Pavilion of the Huashan Sect, and can practice all the martial arts secrets of the Huashan faction at will, and is not responsible for the daily affairs of the Huashan faction, and at the same time has no right to inherit the position of the head of the sect, Shen Chengping intends to serve as the first elder of the Dharma Transmission Hall, which means that he has given up the position of the head of the Huashan faction, which makes Yue Buqun feel a pity, after all, among all the disciples, he values Shen Chengping the most, Whether it is mental or martial arts, he is the best candidate to become the head of the Huashan faction, and the other disciples are much worse than him, but Shen Chengping seems to have other plans, and he doesn't want the affairs of the sect to be tied up too much, so Yue Buqun can only give up after persuading him many times.
In the next few days, Shen Chengping, who had just rushed back to Huashan, couldn't take a break, and spent two or three days assisting Yue Buqun to be busy arranging matters related to the formal recruitment of disciples. First of all, among the orphans collected and supported by the Shen family in Huayin City in the past two years, all the children who were still qualified to practice martial arts were brought up the mountain, and all of them were classified as anonymous disciples, and began to teach Huashan Foundation Building Kung Fu in a unified manner. Then the peripheral forces of Huashan spread the news widely, and collected qualified children in various parts of Guanzhong!
For a while, the martial arts in Guanzhong were very lively, not to mention that those poor people had the idea of opportunistic tricks to send their children to the peripheral forces of Huashan to test the qualifications of the bones, and even some small martial arts families with family martial arts also selected young people with good qualifications in the clan and sent them to Huashan in person, so that the younger generations could learn the superior martial arts of Huashan and make a name for themselves in the martial arts!
After everything was busy, Shen Chengping came back from practicing on Chaoyang Terrace, strolled around the courtyard at will, and couldn't help but smile lightly when he looked at the martial arts arena densely squatted with six or seven-year-old children who were tempering horse steps. More than 200 children are the backbone of Huashan's future!
As Shen Chengping from the modern era, his thinking is not limited by martial arts, especially when he thinks of the braided country decades later, he hopes to change the original history, under his suggestion, the Shen family worked closely with the Huashan faction, and began to grow step by step into a behemoth across the imperial court, martial arts, religion, commerce and other fields according to the plan in Shen Chengping's heart!
This development model is based on Shen Chengping's ideas based on the situation of Shaolin, Wudang and the Sun and Moon Divine Cult, and with reference to many big forces and organizations in later generations. Shaolin Wudang is a Buddha, in the eyes of the people in the martial arts, it is the Taishan Beidou with the prestige of the righteous way of martial arts, in the eyes of the ordinary people, it is a large-scale temple and holy place of Buddhism and Taoism, and in the eyes of the imperial court, it is also a righteous religious school that leads people to goodness. Even the Shaolin and Wudang families have many lay disciples who serve in the official army of the imperial court, and the forces involve all strata of Shinong, industry and commerce.
In Shen Chengping's view, if Huashan wants to become a force like Shaolin Wudang, it can't just be a Jianghu sect that fights and kills as before, in addition to cultivating a large number of masters as the foundation of inheritance and self-preservation, it also attacks from many sides, one is to train merchants, craftsmen, blacksmiths, improve Huashan's influence among the people, and get enough money for development. The second is to rely on the Guangjian Academy in Guanzhong to cultivate children, gradually influence local government affairs, strengthen Huashan's control over Guanzhong, and provide official convenience for Huashan's sustainable development. The third is to take Huashan's power in the imperial court and rivers and lakes as the foundation, infiltrate the army, and really grasp the military power, and use these as the basis to influence the situation in the world when necessary.
Of course, Shen Chengping also knows that these must be carried out step by step, at present, Huashan's human and financial resources are still slightly insufficient, and the Shen family has recently expanded to the limit, and it will take some time to digest the recent expansion, everything must be done step by step, and it will be possible to see results after decades, and now it seems that the foundation can only be quietly prepared.
In a flash, it was June, and the apprenticeship ceremony in Huashan, which lasted for more than a month, gradually came to an end, and the number of outer disciples who entered the sect reached more than 300.
Such a momentum has never been seen even in the heyday of Huashan, and the martial arts forces such as Shaolin, Wudang, Songshan, and Qingcheng who secretly pay attention to Huashan are secretly speechless, and quietly rise a little inexplicably jealous!
In addition to the more than 100 children who are suitable for martial arts training that the Shen family has raised over the years, the Shinong Industrial and Commercial Homes in various parts of Guanzhong have successively provided Huashan with more than 200 children between the ages of five and seven.
Especially in the second screening, it was personally checked by Yue Buqun and Ning Zhong, and they also found seven or eight children with excellent qualifications, all of whom were the first-class qualifications of the disciples of the various sects, and they may all be the elite masters of the next generation of Huashan in the future!
Shen Chengping couldn't help but think of Tang Taizong's sentence "The world's talents are all in my urn", which is quite a feeling that Zhonglingxiu has entered the gate of Huashan!
With such a good starting point, Shen Chengping firmly believes that as long as there are no major changes, Huashan will inevitably completely overwhelm the other four factions of Wuyue more than ten years later, and become the third largest faction in the martial arts righteous path after Shaolin Wudang, and even with the help of the momentum of the Wuyue Alliance, it is very likely that it will gradually become a top three with Shaolin Wudang!
From ancient times to the present, for all organizations and forces, more and better successors are the greatest advantage to ensure that a force continues to grow and even surpasses its peers!
Although Guanzhong, where Huashan is located, has gradually lost its thousands of miles of fertile fields hundreds of years ago, the most prosperous hinterland in the world, but with the foundation of Guanzhong for thousands of years, the population density of Guanzhong at this time is still one of the best in the world, and the population base is more than that of Henan, where Shaolin is located, and Hubei, where Wudang is located!
Moreover, in the hinterland of Henan, there are also powerful martial arts forces like the Songshan faction and the Luoyang Jindaomen Wang family competing with Shaolin for talent resources, and Shaolin's strength has fallen into a bottleneck. Hubei and Hunan have gradually become the granary of the world after becoming more and more concerned by the imperial court, and the consequence of the prosperity of the two lakes is that most of the qualified families will support their children to study the imperial examination, instead of investing in the martial arts sect to practice martial arts! The literary style of the two lakes is flourishing, and the atmosphere is more and more biased towards the weak trend of the south, and the innate physique of the people is more and more inferior to the northern men with strong martial arts such as the Guanzhong people and the Henan people, and they cannot obtain enough well-qualified disciples, and the development of Wudang will also be affected!
Under the advantages of the other, as long as Huashan can tap the potential of the population of Guanzhong step by step, it will soon be able to surpass Shaolin Wudang in the number of outstanding disciples, and it is not impossible for Huashan's strength to catch up!
