Chapter VII: Antecedents and Consequences

If you want to completely understand the confusion of Lin Zhennan's martial arts, you must start from the beginning of the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the world was in constant strife and the situation was turbulent, but martial arts had developed to its peak, and there were many great masters in the world who shook the past and the present.

Duan Siping, the ancestor of Dali, created his own six-vein divine sword and a yang finger, so as to establish the foundation of Dali for more than 300 years, which is longer than the Great Song Dynasty.

The elusive patriarch Xiaoyaozi created the Northern Shengong, Xiao Wuxianggong, and the Eight Desolations and Liuhe, and later generations evaluated it as more like an immortal.

There is also known as the world's first martial arts master Murong Longcheng, as the most talented martial arts master of the Murong family, Murong Longcheng inherited the family martial arts, he is extremely talented, and on the basis of the family martial arts, he has created a clever "borrowing strength" technique "Fighting the stars". This is a profound mastery of borrowing strength, which can reverse the mastery of true qi and return the body of the other way, which is really miraculous.

At that time, the chaos in the world was the most conducive to raising troops, and countless heroes and heroes divided one side. So many great masters are fighting each other in this troubled world, and it is bound to affect the general trend of the world. However, there are too many talented people in the world, and even big heroes like Murong Longcheng and Duan Siping who intend to win the world are difficult to overwhelm the crowd and stand out.

The talent of these great masters is vividly reflected in martial arts, but they are inevitably lacking in leading troops to fight, and finally Zhao Kuangyin beat the world with the 32-way Taizu long fist and the 36-way Panlong stick method, and established the Great Song Dynasty.

Murong Longcheng failed in the uprising and ended in depression. Duan Siping had no intention of going north, and established the Dali Kingdom in the southwest corner and became a vassal of the Great Song Dynasty.

In addition, there was also the Xiaoyao faction Xiaoyaozi and his disciples secretly supported, and the party member Li Deming and his son Li Yuanhao established Western Xia in the northwest corner of Longxi.

Tantric Buddhism naturally supports Tibet, Tantra continues for thousands of years, and there are countless eminent monks, so there is no need to say more about the strength.

After the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, it was fully supported by the Central Plains sects such as the Zhengyi Sect of Longhu Mountain and the Beggars Gang Shaolin, and its strength was overwhelming.

Some cult masters who failed to compete for power with the orthodoxy of the Central Plains also arrived in the Liao State and were reused by those in power.

The Great Song Dynasty was established, but the world was tied for five countries, each of which had its own protector. Without a grandmaster, the Dragon Court would not be stable. Therefore, it is inevitable for the grandmaster to protect the country, and it is impossible to build a country without relying on it. Changes in the world will also affect changes in martial arts, and vice versa.

In the late Northern Song Dynasty, the beggar gang had a major change, and the gang leader Xiao Feng was framed, and even isolated himself from the rivers and lakes, and the power of the beggar gang plummeted. In addition, the court is mediocre, the officials are forced to rebel against the people, there are 108 masters of the Water Margin and Mingjiao Fang La, etc., killing each other, and the Great Song Dynasty will be exhausted.

Later, the Jurchens rose and destroyed the Liao and Song dynasties. The Northern Song Dynasty perished, and all the clans were captured. Shenxiao Sect Lin Lingsu and other grandmasters were also martyred one after another.

The remnants of the masters escorted Zhao Gou mud horses across the river and established the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Southern Song Dynasty was founded at the beginning and its strength was weak. The masters of protecting the country are also much inferior to those of other countries, and the Dragon Court is frequently disturbed, so that Zhao Gou is frightened by thieves and even infertile. Fortunately, there was a eunuch at this time, but he was an unborn martial arts wizard. When he was flipping through the Taoist scriptures left by the grandmaster Huang Shang, he suddenly became enlightened and understood the key ways of the mutual transformation of yin and yang, the incarnation of heaven and man, and the growth of all things.

As the saying goes: alchemy and medicine, both inside and outside. Today's way of practicing qi, not to think about guiding, too insignificant, heaven and earth are clear and turbid and give birth to people, people's practice of qi, not to practice the void spirit and cleanse the turbidity, the master of the life of the qi, the use of the body. Heaven and earth can be reversed, and people also have a way of mutual transformation between men and women, and the way in this must not be passed on lightly. To practice this skill, you should first cultivate your mind, so that your heart does not have distracting thoughts, and you can transcend things outside of things.

This is a generation of miraculous "Sunflower Treasure Book", and the eunuch who founded it is called the Sunflower Ancestor. Under his inheritance, the Southern Song Dynasty finally had its own protector, the Dragon Court was stable, the country was stable, and the foundation of more than 130 years also originated from this.

Flowers are not red for 100 days, and in the face of the general trend of the world, the sunflower treasure book is useless. In 1276, the Yuan soldiers broke through Lin'an, and the Empress Dowager and the 6-year-old Emperor Gong went out of the city to surrender. In 1279, in the Battle of Yashan, Lu Xiufu jumped into the sea with the 8-year-old Song Emperor Zhao Yu on his back and died, and the Southern Song Dynasty perished.

Although this generation of Sunflower Treasure Book heirs relied on the unpredictable body of ghosts and gods to get out, they were powerless to return to the sky. Frustrated, he became a monk in the Shaolin Temple in the south of Jiulian Mountain in Putian, FJ Province, and his Dharma name was lonely.

With his retreat and death, the legend of the Sunflower Book also disappeared. Only one hand-copied secret book remained in the Zangjing Pavilion of Shaolin in Putian. However, the Shaolin monks thought that this skill was full of evil spirit, which was inconsistent with the purpose of Buddhism, and it was strictly forbidden for monks to read it.

Shaolin martial arts stunts are complex, seventy-two stunts are all top martial arts that can go straight to the avenue, Shaolin monks are too weak to study their own martial arts, how can they be in the mood to read a side door evil law. From the end of the Song Dynasty to the middle of the Ming Dynasty, for hundreds of years, the Sunflower Treasure Book has always been silent in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and no one cares about it.

Later, for some reason, the "Sunflower Treasure Book" was translated by the Putian Shaolin abbot Hongye Zen Master. It happened that Yue Su and Cai Zifeng, who were in the thriving Huashan faction at that time, visited, and I don't know how, this secret book actually let the two of them see it. The two of them secretly read the treasure book, and they immediately felt that they had gained a lot. In a hurry, the two of them didn't have time to read the whole book at the same time, and now the two read it separately, and one read half of it.

At this moment, such behavior was discovered by the Red Leaf Zen Master, and the two of them couldn't help blushing and hurriedly apologized. However, what should be seen has already been seen, and the red leaf Zen master just chanted the Buddha's name for a long time, and he had no choice but to let the two leave the temple.

When the red leaf Zen master of Putian Shaolin Temple passed away, he summoned his disciples to explain the causes and consequences of this treasure book, and then he threw it into the furnace and cremated. Momiji said: This martial arts secret book is subtle and mysterious, but many of the key points in it were not properly explained by the writers back then, leaving too many problems. Especially the first level is sad, not only sad, but simply unpassable, passed on to future generations, it is really not a blessing of martial arts.

After Yue and Cai returned to Huashan, they compared the parts they copied with each other, but they did not match them at all, so they doubted each other, so that the brothers turned against each other.

Zen Master Hongye knew that the martial arts contained in this treasure book were not only broad and profound, but also extremely dangerous. This is the most difficult level, as long as the first level can be cleared, and there is nothing later. As long as there is a slight difference in the first level, you will be either killed or injured immediately. Red Leaves immediately sent his proud disciple Duyuan Zen Master to Huashan to persuade Yue Cai and the two not to practice the martial arts in the treasure book.

Zen Master Du Yuan went to Huashan, Yue Cai and the others were ashamed, but they respected him for their good life, admitted to reading the "Sunflower Treasure Book" privately, and apologized deeply on the one hand, but on the other hand, they asked him for advice with the martial arts contained in the scriptures. As everyone knows, although Zen Master Duyuan is a proud disciple of Red Leaves, the martial arts in the treasure book have not been taught.

The Sunflower Treasure Book was originally done by eunuchs, and the practice of this divine skill must be a rootless person. The original version was created by the eunuchs and cultivated for the eunuchs, so naturally this key trick will not be mentioned. Outsiders don't know this key point, and they start cultivating according to the normal method, and after a little cultivation, they immediately become horny and unsustainable. If you continue to reluctantly cultivate, you will go mad and die of stiffness.

Coincidentally, Zen Master Duyuan himself is a person of heavenly eunuchs. Because of this, he was sent to become a monk by his family. After becoming a monk, he had an innate advantage in overcoming lust and demons, and Buddhism and martial arts went hand in hand, and his cultivation progressed rapidly, so that he became a proud disciple of Putian Shaolin presiding over the Red Leaf Zen Master, and it was logical to inherit the position of Putian Shaolin in the future.

It is precisely because Zen Master Du Yuan is a person of heavenly eunuchs that the first insurmountable difficulty of ordinary people in the Sunflower Treasure Book has no difficulty for him. He listened to the scriptures recited by Yue Cai and the others, and knew the mystery as soon as he used his internal force. In this way, while listening to them recite the scriptures and explain them casually, he secretly wrote them down in his heart. Duyuan Zen Master martial arts is extremely clever, and he is a person of extreme wit, when he hears a scripture, he will deduce a few sentences, and he actually says that the head is the way.

However, Yue Cai and the others didn't remember much, and after such a retelling, they couldn't help but discount it again. Zen Master Duyuan lived on Mount Hua for eight days before saying goodbye, but since then he has never returned to the Shaolin Temple in Putian. Soon Hongye Zen Master received a letter from Zen Master Du Yuan, saying that he was uncontrollable and determined to return to the vulgar, and he would see Master Yunyun again without a face.

Because of this incident, the Huashan faction's disciples peeping into the "Sunflower Treasure Book" also spread outside.

Not long after, the Ten Elders of the Demon Sect came to attack Mount Hua and had a big battle at the foot of Mount Hua. The Ten Elders of the Demon Sect were seriously injured and left in defeat. However, Yue Su and Cai Zifeng were both killed in this battle, and the "Sunflower Treasure Book" recorded by the two was also taken away by the Demon Sect.

After the Zen master Du Yuan returned to the world, he reverted his original surname, reversed his legal name and named Yuantu, married a wife and had children, founded a dart game, and made a vigorous career in the rivers and lakes.

Lin Yuantu's swordsmanship to ward off evil spirits is a martial art realized from the fragments of the "Sunflower Treasure Book", and the two are of the same origin. There are seventy-two ways to ward off evil swordsmanship, but one is never passed on, and the other is that the people who use this swordsmanship move quickly and strangely, and no one outside knows the name of its moves, only that its moves are incredible.

Lin Yuantu's self-recorded "Sword Spectrum to Ward Off Evil Spirits" adds many of his own explanations, naturally including the method of how to get through the first level, that is, "If you want to practice divine skills, swing your sword from the palace". This method cut off children and grandchildren, Lin Yuantu naturally didn't want his son and grandson to cultivate, so he hid the real "Sword Spectrum to Ward Off Evil Spirits" and only taught Lin Zhennan swordsmanship tricks.

The "Sunflower Treasure Book" in the possession of the Sun and Moon Divine Cult originally lacked the know-how, but the Demon Sect did not hesitate to use all kinds of cruel and strange methods to experiment, and finally figured out the trick. It's just that the sect masters of the past dynasties are absolutely unwilling to cultivate, and they don't want their subordinates to increase their strength greatly. Therefore, the Sunflower Treasure Book of the Sun Moon God Sect has always been secretly stored by the sect leader, and no one has cultivated it.

Until the previous teaching director, I didn't know for what purpose, I gave this secret book to my subordinate Dongfang Bai. The result can be imagined, after Dongfang Bai's strength soared, it suddenly attacked, and after a coup d'état, he replaced me and became the new leader, and with this magic skill, he fought all over the world invincible, and changed his name to Dongfang Undefeated. As the saying goes: the sun rises in the east, only I am undefeated!
