Chapter 120 The mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is fluttering, and the life experience is ups and downs
In October of the first year of Kaiqing, the war between the Great Song Dynasty and the Mongols, which had been intermittent several times, ceased again, and this time it should last for a long time.
It has been 25 years since the 2nd year of Duanping, when the Mongolian Great Khan Wokotai sent troops from two routes on the grounds of the Great Song Dynasty's betrayal of the alliance and set off the first war against the Song Dynasty.
The Mongols, who had been invincible on the battlefield, were surprised to find that the Song people, whom they had thought to be weak and timid, were the most difficult of all their opponents.
This ancient people, with a long history that amazes the Mongols, seems to have a great resilience in their bones that no other people has. Even under the occasional leader, they would burst out with a terrifying force that terrified even the most powerful Mongols in the land, dealing a crushing blow to the invincible Mongols.
In July of this year, Mongolia suffered its biggest defeat since its founding, when attacking a small place called "Diaoyu City" in Shuzhong, not only the Mongol army was repeatedly defeated and could not advance, but even the Mongol Khan Meng Ge was wounded by flying stones and died in the army seven days later.
Meng Ge is in the prime of life, his sons are all young, and his brothers are all like wolves and tigers, and there will inevitably be a dragon and tiger battle around the supreme throne. At this time, the Mongols were naturally distracted, and the Great Song Dynasty also got a precious time to recuperate.
Songshan, outside the gate of Shaolin Temple.
The body shrank again with the crossing, and Yu Tianlai, who looked like a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, sighed, stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker.
It had been three months since he had crossed over into this world. In his previous life, he had already guessed that if his cultivation reached the limit of what the world could achieve, it was very likely that the crossing would happen again, so he consciously suppressed the entry of his cultivation, and never touched the peak that he was gradually sure to step on.
The reason why he made such a decision was that he was unwilling to give up his wife and children, and anyway, every time he crossed the reincarnation, he would turn back into a teenager, from this point of view, time had lost its meaning to him, and he did not need to spare decades of time to accompany the people he cared about;
It wasn't until his wife Qiu Mochou died, and the Tianshan faction had grown up and didn't need to be supported by himself, that Yu Tianlai decided to end that period of life.
After the retreat, he let go of the restrictions on cultivation and began to try to touch the higher realm of the innate realm, transforming the innate true qi into a more condensed and subtle innate qi.
And the result was also what he expected, at that time, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi of that world was already thin enough to support the martial artist to complete the transformation from Innate True Qi to Innate Gang Qi. When he could get a glimpse of the slightest mystery, he lost consciousness again.
By the time he woke up, Yu Tianlai had already completed the crossing, and as usual, his cultivation was cleared, and his body shrank and evolved. At that time, he was in a dead city, and the entire population of the city was slaughtered.
It wasn't until he left the small city after looking for some clothes and money, and walked aimlessly for a long time to inquire about the populated place, only to know that he had reached the era of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Mongols. Because the Mongol Khan Mรถngke had just died under the Diaoyu City, the angry Mongol soldiers slaughtered several cities, and that small city was just one of them.
After knowing that he would be like a duckweed in the long river of time, Yu Tianlai had the heart to study the history books of the past dynasties, so he knew that after the death of Meng Ge, Kublai Khan, who finally won the throne, had to deal with several of his brothers who were unwilling to take the throne, and the other wanted to follow the Han system, transform Mongolia into a centralized country, and negotiate peace with the Great Song Dynasty in order to concentrate on the interior, so the Song and Mongolia were relatively peaceful for seven or eight years.
After clarifying the general trend of the world, Yu Tianlai made a plan for his life in this life, and one of the first things to do was naturally to restore his strength. Now that he has gone back in time to the Southern Song Dynasty, the heaven and earth vitality in this world is much thicker, which should be enough for him to break through his innate qi. And when he came to Shaolin this time, he planned to use this martial arts holy land as his place of cultivation.
As far as Yu Tianlai knows, the Shaolin faction set up "Dharma Hall" and "Pranyo Hall" very early.
Among them, the monks in the "Dharma Hall" concentrated on the study of Shaolin martial arts. At that time, the Bodhidharma patriarch left only 18 kinds of martial arts in Shaolin, and after the deduction of the monks of the "Bodhidharma Hall" in the past dynasties, the number gradually increased to as many as 72 kinds. And these seventy-two stunts are not set in stone. Every one or two generations, there will always be some Shaolin monks who will innovate Shaolin martial arts and develop new stunts to replace the last of the seventy-two martial arts. In this way, the breadth and profundity of Shaolin martial arts can be imagined.
The monks in the "Prajna Hall" not only practice their own martial arts, but also learn the martial arts of other sects. One of the things that all Shaolin disciples must do when they return to the temple after leaving the mountains and rivers is to go to the "Prajna Hall" and record the martial arts of various schools and factions that they have seen, even if they are half clawed, they never miss them. After that, the monks in the "Prajna Hall" sorted out and revised these martial arts.
Even from the perspective of Yu Tian, who has the vision and insight of later generations, this set of martial arts inheritance system of the Shaolin School can be regarded as extremely advanced, so among the major martial arts schools in the world, the Shaolin School may not have the longest history, but it can definitely be regarded as the most profound. He chose Shaolin as the place to practice in this world, precisely because he took a fancy to the profound heritage of the Shaolin School.
After Yu Tianlai knocked on the door knocker, the closed mountain gate of Shaolin Temple opened a gap inward, and a deacon monk in his twenties walked out, and saw a young man who was only twelve or thirteen years old standing alone in front of the door.
Yu Tianlai returned the salute, and said calmly and calmly: "The little master is polite, in the next Yu Tianlai, from Shuzhong, there is something important to ask to see the abbot of your temple to host the dust-free abbot, please ask the little master to pass on his behalf." โ
The monk hesitated a little, although the young man in front of him said that his bearing was extraordinary, but he asked to see the abbot just by the other party's words, which was a bit child's play, so he asked again: "I don't know what the little benefactor has, whether he can explain it first." โ
Yu Tianlai had already prepared, took out a letter from his arms and handed it forward, and said with a smile: "It is indeed presumptuous to be in the next place, so I will ask the little master to forward this letter to the dustless master, and whether you see it or not, it will be decided by the dustless master himself." โ
The monk took the letter and said, "Please wait a moment, little benefactor." Then he walked briskly to the temple.
Yu Tianlai always had a smile on his face, and waited outside the mountain gate with peace of mind. In less than a moment, the monk had hurriedly run out of the door, and with a somewhat suspicious look, he saluted Yu Tianlai again and said, "The abbot has invited the little benefactor into the temple to meet." โ
