Wudang Mountain.

A burly old Taoist was meditating cross-legged in the mountains, surrounded by two true qi, one blue and one yellow, constantly intertwined and entangled, the momentum was deep and vast, and it was extremely powerful.

This person is Zhang Sanfeng.

After dealing with some hidden dangers in Wudang, he handed over the affairs of Wudang to Song Yuanqiao, and he went into retreat again and went to the Taiji Yin and Yang Avenue.

On the beautiful and lonely mountain, he was only wearing a thin robe, eating and drinking, and he looked lonely.

Stomp –

At this time, footsteps sounded at the foot of the mountain, and a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe walked up, and it was Song Yuanqiao.

At this moment, his face was solemn, and there was still some confusion between his eyebrows.

Because Zhang Sanfeng had told him before the retreat, if there was nothing important, try not to disturb him.

But some of the things that have happened on the rivers and lakes recently, he doesn't know if they matter, but some things, if they are not important, have something to do with Zhang Sanfeng, so after thinking about it carefully, he still came.

Before anyone arrived, Zhang Sanfeng had already opened his eyes when he heard the voice, looked at the oncoming Song Yuanqiao, and said calmly:

"Yuanqiao, it's only been less than a year, what happened to the door?"

"Disciple see Master!"

Song Yuanqiao hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and said respectfully: "Master, there is nothing to do in the teaching, but there are some things that have happened in the rivers and lakes recently, and the disciple feels that it should be known to the master." ”

Zhang Sanfeng frowned slightly: "What does the matter on the rivers and lakes have to do with me?" ”

Song Yuanqiao hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand: "Master, it's about Shaolin Temple, a few days ago, the court that Xichang Factory Gongyu Huatian took people to Shaolin, wanting Shaolin to surrender, but it led to a strong man in the realm of heaven and man, and the two had a big fight, but Yuhuatian left Shaolin Temple alive and sound, and the matter was over." ”

"Oh? Heaven? ”

Zhang Sanfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he nodded and said:

"Tell me everything you have been through."

"Yes!"

Song Yuanqiao didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly told Zhang Sanfeng all the news he had received.

After hearing this, a trace of emotion appeared on Zhang Sanfeng's face, and said: "Poor Dao has said a long time ago that this son is not a thing in the pool, but I didn't expect him to break through so quickly." ”

"In just one year, not only has he broken through the Great Grandmaster, but he has also jumped to the middle stage of the Great Grandmaster, and even has a strength comparable to the late stage of the Great Grandmaster!"

"This son has a high martial arts talent and a strong understanding, which is rare in the world, and it is not as good as being poor!"

Song Yuanqiao was silent.

Recently, it has been rumored everywhere in the rivers and lakes that Yuhuatian is the reincarnation of the martial ancestor, and his martial arts talent has surpassed the sword god Xie Xiaofeng, Wudang Zhang Sanfeng and others, only the Shaolin patriarch Dharma Fang thousands of years ago can compare with it, and there are many people who agree.

"As for the Shaolin celestial ......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Sanfeng frowned and looked at Song Yuanqiao: "You said, there is an old monk with the word 'Jue' in Shaolin, and you call that old monk a senior brother?" ”

Song Yuanqiao nodded: "Yes, among the monks of the 'Jue' generation, there has been a relationship with Master, and the disciple doubts that this Shaolin Temple celestial will be ......."

When Zhang Sanfeng heard this, he fell silent.

After a while, he sighed lightly, nodded, and said: "It should be him, there has been no news for so many years, Poor Dao thought that he had already passed away, but he didn't expect that he was still alive, and he went one step further and stepped out of that level......"

As everyone knows, he Zhang Sanfeng is the founder of Wudang and the supreme of Taoism.

But few people know that before founding Wudang, he was a Shaolin monk and practiced under Master Jueyuan, a Shaolin monk of the 'Jue' generation.

Later, due to some differences in ideas, he went down the mountain to enter the Tao, traveled the world for many years, and further comprehended the Tao, and finally came to this Wudang Mountain, founded the Wudang School, and became a Taoist leader respected by the world step by step.

But he and Shaolin Temple have always had this relationship, and even the Wudang Jiuyang Gong he is practicing now is due to the Jiuyang Divine Skill taught to him by Master Jueyuan in his early years.

At this moment, Song Yuanqiao said that the Shaolin Temple's 'Jue' generation monks, if it is expected to be good, it should be his teaching grace back then, Master Jueyuan.

Because apart from Master Jueyuan, Zhang Sanfeng couldn't imagine that other monks of the 'Jue' generation could have such a martial arts talent and reach the level of heaven and man.

Hearing this, Song Yuanqiao was also silent for a moment, and then said:

"Master, if this Shaolin celestial is really Master Jueyuan, then this matter has something to do with my Wudang. That Yuhuatian made a big fuss in Shaolin, killed hundreds of Shaolin monks, and hit a lot of Shaolin temple buildings, it is said that before Yuhuatian left, the Shaolin celestial people had said that they wanted to go to the capital to seek justice. ”

"After all, my Wudang is the state religion of the Ming Dynasty, and that Yuhuatian now has a relationship with my Wudang, if he comes to my Wudang to ask the master to deal with the Shaolin celestials, we ......"

Speaking of this, Song Yuanqiao's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

On one side is the master's art teacher, and on the other side is the imperial court.

If Yuhuatian really came to Wudang for help at that time, it would indeed be very difficult.

Moreover, although Wudang is strong, if it is faced with a celestial, it is powerless.

After all, the master himself said that he is only a great grandmaster in the Ninefold Realm now, and there is still a considerable distance from the heavens and men.

"It doesn't matter."

Zhang Sanfeng waved his hand and said: "I don't think that little friend is the kind of person who will use this origin to coerce me Wudang to help, and although Poor Dao has this past with Shaolin, but after so many years, this cause and effect should also be over, and Poor Dao does not owe Shaolin anything." ”

"If that rain friend really comes to my Wudang for help, as long as it is within my Wudang ability, I can help."

Saying that, Zhang Sanfeng sighed and said: "In Daming, the power of my Daomen is actually still some gap with Buddhism, but it is only because the imperial court respects Taoism and suppresses Buddhism, deliberately elevates the status of my Taoism, and even respects me Wudang as the state religion of Daming, which makes the status of my Taoism comparable to Buddhism." The court treats me Wudang like this, and we can't chill the heart of the court. ”

"Yes!" When Song Yuanqiao heard this, he immediately understood what Zhang Sanfeng meant, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This no longer only represents Wudang's position, but the dispute over Taoism.

Nowadays, Buddhism is powerful, and there are many temples in the entire Ming Dynasty, but only Wudang can be called a carrying force in the Daomen, and the rest of the Taoist temples are weakening day by day.

If this continues, the Daomen will one day be suppressed by the Buddhism.

And if you want to change this situation, Daomen must maintain a good relationship with the imperial court and get the help of the imperial court.

Otherwise, it is difficult to fight the Buddha by relying on the Daomen alone.

After all, the teachings of both sides are different.

Taoism pays attention to the rule of inaction, while Buddhism hypes up Buddhist teachings for incense, and does not care about the so-called face at all.

In this case, how could the Daomen be able to fight the Buddha Gate?

Therefore, if Daomen wants to develop, it can only rely on the imperial court.

As long as it is recognized as orthodox by the imperial court, no matter how powerful the Buddhism is, it is impossible for the Daomen to decline.

At this time, Zhang Sanfeng seemed to think of something, and suddenly shook his head and smiled, and said: "Having said that, it is not certain whether the imperial court will come to my Wudang for help, and we don't have to worry too much for the time being." ”

Song Yuanqiao was puzzled: "Why? ”

Zhang Sanfeng turned his head to look in the direction of the capital and said with a smile: "Didn't this celestial man of Shaolin Temple say that he wanted to go to the capital to seek justice?" Judging from the poor road, if he really dares to go to the capital, I am afraid that he will not be able to please him. ”

Song Yuanqiao was stunned: "What does Master mean that there are also strong people in the capital who are in charge?" ”

Zhang Sanfeng nodded: "This is natural, otherwise how can you suppress these martial arts sects on the rivers and lakes?" The reason why the heavenly and human powerhouses are called land immortals is because this realm has begun to transcend the mortal realm, even if the imperial court has millions of soldiers, it is helpless in the face of such a strong person, this kind of strong person can only be dealt with by a strong person of the same level. ”

"Moreover, speaking of which, the one who sits in the capital is the real master of the Daomen, although the poor Dao is called the leader of the Daomen by the fellow martial artists, but compared to the senior, it is still a little worse."

"This ......"

Hearing this, Song Yuanqiao's face was shocked and a little incredulous.

The celestial man in the capital is a person from the Daomen?

Moreover, more ashamed than the master?

Who could that be?!

But Zhang Sanfeng didn't mean to continue, just waved his hand and said: "You go first, if someone from the capital asks for help, then help, if you don't come, forget it, do what you should do on weekdays, restrain your disciples, don't go out to make trouble." ”

"Yes!"

When Song Yuanqiao heard this, he had to suppress his doubts, and after saluting respectfully, he turned around and left.

Zhang Sanfeng still stared in the direction of the capital, as if he had crossed the layers of barriers, and saw the peerless figure of the Daomen who had stirred up the wind and rain on the rivers and lakes.

"After so many years, I don't know how far this senior has reached at this moment......"

Zhang Sanfeng muttered in a low voice, with emotion on his face.

Immediately, he shook his head, abandoned distracting thoughts, closed his eyes, and once again wandered out of the world to comprehend the Dao.

…

Meanwhile.

In a gloomy mountain villa, a man in black wearing a mask carefully looked at the information in his hand, and his eyes shone with brilliance.

This person is the head of the Great Dragon of the Blue Dragon Society, Gongzi Yu!

And across from him, there was also a middle-aged man dressed in white with an elegant face, this person was holding a folding fan in his hand, his momentum was indifferent, and he had a high popularity, which was difficult to ignore.

Bang –

After looking carefully for a while, Gongzi Yu slammed the information on the table in front of him, his eyes gloomy:

"I didn't expect that after so long, he would be able to fight against the heavenly powerhouse!"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, it's just that he fought a few tricks with Monk Jueyuan, which doesn't mean that he has the strength of the heavenly and human level." ”

Gongzi Yu said coldly: "That's also terrifying!" You must know that the last time he was in the capital, he fought with Li Ruohai and the three of them, and they were still very difficult, and he couldn't even interfere in the battle between the old dragon head Fang Longxiang and Yang Yanyu and the two in the Ming Palace, which showed that he only had the strength of the Great Grandmaster Seven Realms at most. ”

"But now that he is able to take over that Jueyuan monk for a few rounds without dying, it means that his strength has improved again, and now he has at least the strength of the Great Grandmaster Eightfold Realm, and even the strength of the Great Grandmaster Ninefold Realm, and it may even be higher!"

"If we let it grow any longer, I'm afraid it won't be something we can deal with!"

"When are you going to do it?" The middle-aged man said lightly.

"The sooner the better!"

Gongzi Yu said coldly.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "There is a good opportunity to do it now!" ”
