Chapter 24 Tournaments
Soon, Fahua Temple received an invitation from the Korean monarch, hoping that Fahua Temple could hold a martial arts competition in Yangzhai, the capital, to persuade the people to advocate martial arts, strengthen their bodies, and protect their families and defend the country.
It is difficult to refuse such a trust, after all, his Hohwa Temple is in the territory of South Korea, if he does not go, it will not give face to the monarch, and it will be difficult for everyone to meet in the future.
So the master agreed.
And I just took this opportunity to go down the mountain to accumulate anger for the qi sword to see if it was as I thought.
But after all, this is the Warring States Period, bandits are rampant under the mountain, and the people are hungry.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, the abbot presided over a meeting of the main personnel in the temple, mainly to discuss the matter of participating in the martial arts competition, after some discussion, the abbot decided that he did not need to go to the main leadership team in the temple, among the first-class disciples, only ten people were sent, and most of the remaining were second- and third-class disciples, and the leader of the team was my master Guanzhu.
And Wang Hong, who is the proud disciple of the master, naturally set off with the team. In this way, a total of more than 50 people from Fahua Temple rushed to Yangzhai, the capital of South Korea, on a certain day.
Soon, it took us five days to come to the capital of Yangzhai. After arriving in the capital, we learned that there were also Kunlun faction, Diancang faction, Wutai Mountain, and Taishan faction who participated in this martial arts competition.
Could it be that this is the legendary Five Peaks Alliance?
Soon, the masters of the five factions gathered in Yang Zhai, and the Korean monarch was in and out of the harem too often in the past few days, so that his waist and knees were sore, and his mobility was inconvenient, so he did not come to the venue ceremony, and let the five factions discuss the rules of the game on their own.
In this way, the master of Fahua Temple, Master Guanzhu, the head of Kunlun Mountain, Hong Dali, the head of the Diancang faction, Li Yizhi, the head of the Diancang faction, Fang Wanli, the head of Wudao Mountain, and the head of the Taishan faction, Zhentianwei, gathered together to discuss the competition.
The master took the lead and said: "I thought that each faction would compete with each other one by one, and the one who won the most would win the game." ”
"I agree. Hong Dali said.
"I'm okay with that. Li Yizhi said.
"Everything. Fang Wanli has no opinion.
"I'm against it. "The head of the Taishan faction, Zhen Tianwei, seemed displeased.
"Since the head of the Taishan faction doesn't agree, do you have a better way?" Hong Dali said.
"How simple it is, set up a high platform, you can fight up, and if you lose, until no one dares to challenge, which faction of disciples is still standing on it, even if which faction wins this martial arts competition. Earthquake said.
Although this method is simple and crude, it is really practical and durable.
"Then it's settled. The representatives of the five factions all agreed.
In this way, Wutai Mountain is responsible for the task of building a high platform this time, and the reason is very simple, because the houses in Wudao Mountain are all built on the top of the mountain.
After some tossing, more than 30 disciples of Wutai Mountain built a wooden high platform.
However, the wooden platform was crooked, and the heads of the other four factions were not very relieved, and they doubted the quality of the platform, so they didn't take the lead in going up, for fear that one of them would accidentally fall to their own disciples.
When Li Yizhi, the head of Wutai Mountain, saw that everyone was chattering about cutting corners in the martial arts competition, Li Yizhi planned to go up in person to dispel everyone's concerns.
I saw that the head of Wutai Mountain was very light and performed light skills, and he went up to the high platform at once, only to see him hugging his fists and greeting everyone in the audience, and everyone also hugged their fists in return, and his disciples applauded loudly.
"You see, this kung fu made by the head of Wutai Mountain is called Feiyan Wings, which is a high-level light skill, once you learn this kung fu, you don't have to knock on the door when you go home in the future. The master taught.
"No wonder the houses in Wutai Mountain are built on the top of the mountain, it turns out that a good kung fu is the best door. ”
The head of Wutai Mountain practiced a little etiquette, and stepped on the plank under his feet with his feet, and found that it was quite strong.
This is everyone in the audience cheering in unison: "Master Li, come one, Master Li, come one." ”
Seeing that everyone in the audience was so enthusiastic, Li Yizhi was also full of passion, hugged his fists and said: "That contemptible person will show everyone a few tricks to help them laugh." ”
As soon as Li pointed out these words, everyone's eyes were on him with a brush, only to see him take a deep breath, jump out of thin air, jump more than three feet off the ground, do a front somersault, turn around, and then hit his feet down, straight down.
Just when everyone thought that Master Li was going to show a perfect landing, they only heard a loud bang, and Li Yizhi stepped on a hole in the wooden countertop, and the whole person fell from the hole.
Then Li Yizhi hit several horizontal logs under the countertop one after another, and tossed seven or eight times before he heard a muffled sound and a puff of dust splashed under the table.
"The head of Wutai Mountain has fallen, everyone save people. It was a quick response, and several people shouted.
Everyone was eager to save people, and rushed to the high platform in one go.
When I rushed to the edge of the high platform, I heard the sound of creaking and wooden friction and twisting. This is someone behind him who shouted: "Oh no, the high platform is going to collapse, everyone disperse quickly." ”
Sure enough, everyone looked up and saw that the originally crooked and twisted table of the high platform was slowly tilting at the moment, and the speed was getting faster and faster, although there was a possibility of overturning.
And everyone realized that Li Yizhi, the head of Wutai Mountain, was still under the stage, and he couldn't see death without help, but at this moment, the overturning of the high platform was only a momentary thing, and no one could stop it.
The so-called adversity sees the truth, and the crisis sees grace and righteousness, at this time, a disciple in Wutai Mountain shouted: "Master, I'm here to save you." ”
I waited for everyone to watch from afar, and I was moved by this person's act of sacrificing himself to save the teacher, and I silently praised in my heart: "True husband, too." ”
The disciple rushed to the bottom of the stage, saw that the bottom of the stage was full of smoke and dust, and he didn't care, so he jumped into the bottom of the stage. At this time, a person suddenly rushed out of the bottom of the stage, and he also jumped out of the bottom of the stage.
In this way, the two trains collided, only to hear a muffled sound, the disciple was bounced out alive, and an angry curse came from the bottom of the stage: "Who the hell is in the way of Lao Tzu." ”
Everyone can hear it clearly, that is the tone of Li Yizhi, the head of Wutai Mountain.
When everyone was amazed that Li Yizhi, the head of Wutai Mountain, was still alive, they suddenly heard a loud noise, and the entire high platform collapsed, shaking the dust in the sky, which could not dissipate for a long time.
In this way, Li Yizhi, the head of Wutai Mountain, sacrificed his life in order to try the quality of the project, and the spirit of sacrificing himself for righteousness made the remaining four factions very admired, so the five factions jointly held a memorial service for him, so the competition could only be held another day.
