In the sixth year of Yongtai, there was a nineteen-year-old boy named Shen Youran.

At that time, he was unknown, and almost no one knew who he was, where he came from, and who he learned his martial arts from.

The first time people knew him and remembered him was at the Young Heroes Meeting in the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, and the person who invited him was Gu Qizong, the leader of the Tianqi Gang who was responsible for hosting the conference at that time.

There is no doubt that Gu Gang Master also used the authority of "special invitation based on the personal judgment of the undertaker" to get Shen Youran into the conference.

But unlike today's Shen Sect Master, Gu Gang Master does not have an enemy like the Cao Gang, his popularity is very good, no matter whether it is good or evil, officialdom, the evaluation of Gu Qizong is heroic, chivalrous and courageous;

Therefore, no one questioned why Gu Qizong invited such an unknown boy to attend the meeting, and Gu Qizong himself never explained it to anyone.

As a result, at that year's conference, Shen Youran became the biggest dark horse, and he was both civil and military, and easily won the championship with a crushing momentum.

Just when everyone thought that this "no door and no faction" Shen Shaoxia would take advantage of the situation to worship under the Tianqi Gang that was in full swing back then, he chose to join the Luoyang Justice Gate, which was still quite weak at that time.

There is a way that is thirty years east of the river and thirty years west of the river.

In the blink of an eye, twelve years have passed.

Today, Shen Youran is the youngest master in the history of the Justice Gate, and he is famous in the rivers and lakes, and the Justice Gate, which was once the weakest among the four doors and three gangs, has also risen rapidly under his leadership.

However, the Tianqi Gang has disappeared from the martial arts......

As for the reason for its disappearance, it is not a secret, because it involves a very sensational event for the entire martial arts - in the seventh year of Yongtai, the 13th Road Martial Arts Sect led by the Tianqi Gang, under the leadership of Gu Qizong, went to encircle and suppress the main altar of the Five Spirits Sect, the first major sect of the evil way.

In that battle, thousands of members of the Five Spirits Sect were almost wiped out, and the sect leader Yi Shixiong saw that the general trend was gone, so he set fire to the altar, wanting to burn the jade with the thirteen martial arts people.

The main altar of the Five Spirits Sect was hidden in the belly of the mountain, based on a natural cave, and expanded with a large number of bricks and wood, and after the fire started, the entire cave altar was filled with thick smoke and quickly began to collapse, and those who stayed in it would surely die.

In the end, the men and horses of the 13th Road Sect, not counting the casualties during the previous fight, said that the last people who escaped from the fire ...... It's less than 30% when they came, and thankfully, the heads of those sects all came out smoothly.

But...... Only Gu Qizong did not come out.

Because at the time of the fire, Gu Qizong was fighting against Yi Shixiong, and the two were inseparable, so Gu Qizong couldn't get out at all.

In this way, a generation of heroes of the world finally died with the Demon Sect Master, buried in the fire, and was buried in the ruins of the collapsed cave, with no bones left.

After Gu Qizong's death, the Tianqi Gang gradually declined, and they had the worst losses in the duel with the Five Spirits Sect, not to mention the huge influence of the loss of the gang leader on the sect;

This is the way things are in this world, the so-called prosperity must decline, and it is too much.

It is precisely because Gu Qizong's martial arts and personality charm are unparalleled in the world that all the cohesion of the Tianqi Gang comes from him alone, and when he is not there, those problems that are covered by his light will emerge, and finally swallow the foundation he has laid.

When Gu Qizong died, he was only thirty-one years old, exactly the same age as the current Shen Youran;

To this day, although many people still remember him, his name is rarely mentioned anymore......

Jianghu is such a place, no matter what status and achievements you have obtained, once you die, within ten years, you will be forgotten by people, and behind you, there will always be batches of ambitious and domineering new generations to emerge and lead the way.

No one...... It can be used for thousands of generations to dominate the rivers and lakes.

Of course, there are some things that will not be forgotten with the passing of life, on the contrary, they will become stronger with the precipitation of the years, like fine wine.

For example – hatred.

Shen Youran was burdened with hatred, due to some kind of karma, he vowed to avenge Gu Qizong, and the goal of his revenge was ...... The whole martial arts.

This Young Heroes Meeting is the "first step" of his entire revenge plan, and although this step is complicated to implement, he has now completed the matter seven times, and it can be said that it is quite smooth.

As for who can win the championship in the end of the "martial arts test", in fact, Shen Youran has long been unconcerned and doesn't care.

And among the two teenagers who will play in the next eight-in-four game, there is also one who doesn't care about the result of the martial arts, and this person's law name is Chunkong.

Don't look at Chunkong is only in his early sixteenth year this year, but his seniority and prestige in Shaolin Temple are not low; as mentioned earlier, when Sun and Huang first saw Chunkong, they saw him "wearing a monk's robe, a ring scar on his head, clear eyebrows, white teeth and red lips", there is a detail here...... Generally speaking, according to the rules of the Shaolin Temple in this universe, sixteen or seventeen-year-old novices are usually not qualified to have a ring scar on their head, you have to have something to achieve in practice, and you have to get a certain degree of recognition in Buddhism before you are qualified to let the master burn the ring scar on your head.

So why is Chunkong different from others? I have to go back to this matter......

Sixteen years ago, on a snowy night, Master Lonely Dust of Shaolin Temple picked up an abandoned baby in a ruined temple.

When Silent found the child, the child was already breathless and motionless, and the tears on his face had turned into frost, and it was evident that the child had been left in the temple for at least an hour or two, and that he had been crying in the midst of hunger and cold, and at last he had no strength to speak.

At that time, Lonely Dust was traveling in asceticism, relying on fate and accommodation to solve the problem of food and lodging, that night he himself had been hungry for two days and one night, and finally turned into half a bowl of white porridge, and came to a ruined temple against the wind and snow, and wanted to make a fire to warm up the porridge and drink it, who expected to encounter this kind of thing again.

As soon as he saw that the child still had a breath, he quickly opened his clothes, put the baby into his arms, and directly used his body temperature to warm the child, and quickly lit a fire, carefully blowing the hot white porridge to a mild degree, and patiently fed it to the child's mouth one bite at a time, and he himself still didn't eat a bite in the end.

This is how Chunkong miraculously survived.

Later, Silent Dust took him back to Shaolin, but he didn't name him, just called him "Wa'er".

Chunkong has been associated with the Buddha since he was a child, and he has been exposed to it every day, and as soon as he learns to speak, he will recite Buddhist scriptures, which can be called the wisdom of the root and the clarity of his mind.

That year, Master Silent Dust was already fifty-three, and the youngest of his next generation, that is, the disciples of the "Chun" generation who were the same generation as Chunkong, were almost thirty.

Therefore, those forty-year-old backbones in Shaolin Temple today are actually the same generation as Chunkong; those sixty or seventy-year-old monks are Chunkong's masters and uncles; and those in their twenties and thirties have to call him "Little Uncle".

In Buddhism, Chunkong was born with a golden cicada, and his brothers and sisters of the same generation talked to him about Buddhist scriptures with the saying of "asking for advice", and it was no problem to go to some small temples in some places to teach the abbot there with his practice.

In terms of martial arts, there is a rule in Shaolin that many people should also know - the more advanced the martial arts, the more you need the corresponding Buddhism to resolve anger, that is, to what extent your Buddhism is profound, and what level of martial arts can you learn.

Therefore, Chunkong has been one of the best internal skills of Zen Buddhism since elementary school: the Ranga Heart Method, the full name of which is "Ranga Abhatara Treasure Heart Method".

How powerful is that? Let's put it this way...... It belongs to the same level as the "reversal of the world", as long as you practice seriously for ten years, you can definitely rank among the first-class sect masters in terms of internal strength.

Chunkong began practicing martial arts at the age of nine and has been practicing for seven years so far.

Because he has a good foundation in internal skills and learns moves quickly, his master "taught him a few tricks casually" in this part of the moves; Master Lonely Dust himself is quite good at palming, so he passed on a set of Wei Tuo palms and a set of great compassion and compassion thousand leaves hands in Chunkong, which by the way gave him a good foundation of Prajna palms.

To sum up, although Chunkong's strength is not very clear to outsiders, according to his master's estimates, he can already have a back and forth with those monks who study high-level martial arts in the Dharma Academy.

It can be said that Chunkong is the biggest dark horse in this Young Heroes Club, but he himself has no fighting spirit at all......

Previously, in the literary examination, Chunkong wrote a lot of Zen things and handed them in, and Qiao Chengshu, the "iron-faced scholar" who was in charge of the invigilation, was stunned, so he gave him the first place in the literary examination.

And the person who is the first in the literary test is the only one who can have a bye in the first four rounds and directly enter the quarterfinals, that is to say, Chunkong, who appeared in the first game of the eight into four, was still in a state where he had never played a martial arts test before, and he had not yet shown his super strength.

So in the current competition, which unlucky guy wants to fight Chunkong?

You can recall, who is the person who played all the way up from the first game of the first round, that is, the branch in the bottom left corner of the promotion table?

That's right...... It's just Lei Buji.
