Chapter 162: Upper Shaolin
Since the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Shaolin Temple has been relatively low-key. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut as the ancestral court of Buddhism and Zen Buddhism, the influence of Shaolin Temple in the martial arts world has always existed. After thousands of years, it still maintains the power of the top martial arts sect in the martial arts world, which shows the depth of its heritage.
Chen Ji has always kept his respect for the Shaolin Temple, although the relationship between the White Lotus Sect and the Shaolin Temple has not been very good.
"This time I went to Shaolin, I hope not to fight and hurt the harmony. Chen Ji said secretly in his heart.
When he came to Shaomu Mountain, Chen Ji took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "White Lotus Sect Chen Ji, come to worship the mountain." ”
Chen Ji's voice was loud, with a sense of righteousness. It is not because of the loud sound that people feel uncomfortable with eardrum vibration.
In the Shaolin Temple, the six martial arts masters, including the abbot and the two peerless masters of the Kongxuan Divine Monk, all changed their faces.
"What a pure internal skill!" the abbot looked shocked, "It is said that Chen Ji is a rare genius in the martial arts world for a hundred years, and now it seems that it is not a rumor." ”
Kong Xuan frowned: "Chen Ji's inner family cultivation has reached the peerless master level. The White Lotus Sect held a martial arts conference this time, and it seems that it is determined to win the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance. ”
After the White Lotus Sect went through civil strife, the previous sect leader Haodong and several elders all died, and their strength was greatly reduced. But the pressure on the Shaolin Temple from the White Lotus Sect still exists, because the White Crane Daoist is a powerhouse at the level of a great grandmaster, and Chen Ji is a peerless master. The two of them are even more deterrent than six or seven martial arts masters.
Chen Ji suddenly visited, and the abbot and Kong Xuan and other senior monks guessed that it must be related to the martial arts conference.
"Sect Master Chen Ji can come to my Shaolin Temple, so that our temple is very honored, and it is full of brilliance. ”
The abbot's voice seemed to sound in Chen Ji's ears, and there was even a faint Buddhist voice.
Chen Ji's eyes showed a hint of solemnity.
The abbot's inner family cultivation is not inferior to that of Ziyun Dao.
The abbot and Kong Xuan appeared with four martial arts masters. Their speed is very fast, much faster than that of ordinary martial arts masters.
Shaolin Temple as the authentic Buddhism, its martial arts are all strength of the martial arts world, in the light Gong body method is not good at, but now it seems that Shaolin Temple is not without profound body method.
Chen Ji hugged his fists at the abbot and the others and said, "Chen Ji has seen the abbot and the masters. ”
The abbot smiled and said, "I've seen Sect Master Chen Ji. ”
The White Crane Taoist and the Shaolin Temple had a festival, but Chen Ji and the abbot and others met for the first time. Even if there is a dispute between the sects, they will not fight when they meet.
The work of face still has to be done.
Chen Ji secretly said in his heart: "Shaolin Temple is worthy of being a thousand-year-old sect, and its martial arts heritage should not be underestimated. Six martial arts masters appeared all of a sudden, including two peerless masters, so how many martial arts masters did not appear in the Shaolin Temple?"
The abbot smiled and said, "Sect Master Chen Ji, please inside." ”
Chen Ji smiled and said, "Abbot, please." ”
Entering the Shaolin Temple, Chen Ji frowned, because he saw more than a dozen children with money rat braids.
Obviously, these children were sent by the Manchu court.
Chen Ji looked at those children and asked, "Abbot, what's the matter with those children with braided hair?"
The abbot smiled slightly and said, "Since Sect Leader Chen Ji has already guessed, why bother asking? Yes, they are all children sent by the Qing Imperial Court. ”
Chen Ji asked: "When you enter Shaolin, don't you have to shave off all your hair? ”
Kong Xuan and the other four martial arts masters all had a hint of displeasure in their eyes. You Chen Ji is the leader of the White Lotus Sect, with a high and powerful position, and you have a status in the martial arts world, but you can't control the Shaolin Temple.
The abbot was not angry at all: "As a disciple of Shaolin Temple, naturally I can't keep my hair, but these children are not monks, they are lay disciples, so there are not so many requirements." ”
Bringing Chen Ji to the living room, the abbot said: "Bishop Chen Ji is busy, I don't think you will come to Shaolin Temple for no reason." If you have anything to say, just say it. ”
Chen Ji nodded and said, "It's okay." Everyone is a person in the martial arts world, and there is no need to beat around the bush. Then I'll get it straight. I hope that the Shaolin Temple will support this seat to become the leader of the martial arts alliance. ”
The abbot and Kong Xuan were both shocked. Chen Ji is really polite, and he actually wants to be the leader of the martial arts alliance directly.
Before the abbot could speak, Kong Xuan said, "Sect Master Chen Ji, your ambition is too great. Even if you are a martial arts wizard that is rare to see in a hundred years, with your martial arts and qualifications, what qualifications do you have to become the leader of the martial arts alliance?"
When Shaolin Temple received the invitation, he thought that the head of the White Crane Dao wanted to be the leader of the alliance, but he didn't expect that it was Chen Ji who wanted to be the leader of the martial arts alliance. Even if the White Crane Daoist comprehended the innate realm, the Shaolin Temple would do everything possible to prevent him from becoming the leader of the martial arts alliance, let alone Chen Ji, a hairy boy.
Let's ask, who can be convinced by a young man in his twenties as the leader of the alliance?
Chen Ji said: "Master Kongxuan, you are right, my qualifications are naturally inferior to many predecessors. But after I became the leader of the White Lotus Sect, I thought that I had done a lot for the White Lotus Sect and the people. Don't say anything else, let's just say the battle of Yangzhou, I saved the entire Yangzhou 800,000 people, this merit, Shaolin Temple should not admit it. ”
Actions speak louder than words.
No one in Shaolin Temple could refute Chen Ji's words. Because of the facts Chen Ji said, he did save the lives of 800,000 people in Yangzhou and did not let the tragedy of "Yangzhou Ten Days" happen.
Chen Ji said: "Shaolin Temple is an authentic sect of Buddhism, what I want to say is that when the Manchus wantonly killed the Han people, where were the abbots and martial arts masters?"
The abbot and Kong Xuan glanced at each other, and finally, the abbot said, "Sect Master Chen Ji, we are all monks and will not participate in politics. The war between the Manchus and the Ming Dynasty is not something that our Shaolin Temple can prevent. ”
Kong Xuan nodded and said, "Not bad." Chen Ji, our Shaolin Temple is a holy place for cultivating Buddhism and does not participate in the struggle for rights. Besides, people in the world have a certain number in their lives. You can't force it. ”
Chen Ji frowned and said, "According to the master's meaning, those people who died under the Manchu butcher's knife deserve to die?
The abbot sighed and said, "Sect Leader Chenji, we know something about the hatred between you and Dorgon. But when is the time for retribution, if you want me to say, it is better to let go of hatred and come freely. ”
Chen Ji sneered: "What the abbot said is reasonable. It's just that I have a question, if I kill the disciples of Shaolin Temple, I wonder if the abbot will take revenge?"
Chen Ji only now found out that he and these people in Shaolin Temple couldn't talk together at all. I don't know if this is what they really think, or if they are pretending to be confused.
Chen Ji felt that these senior monks in Shaolin Temple were pretending to be stupid. As long as they do not infringe on the vital interests of the Shaolin Temple, they will only be with the mud.
"And, abbot, you are mistaken. Chen Ji said solemnly, "I have no grievances with Dolgon, and I am against the Manchu court, not because of personal grudges." ”
The grievances between Chen Ji and Ao Bai are really mixed with personal grievances.
The expressions of the abbot and Kong Xuan and others already showed that it was impossible for Shaolin Temple to let Chen Ji sit on the throne of the alliance leader.
Chen Ji said with a smile: "It seems that it is a bit unlikely that Shaolin Temple wants to support this seat to sit on the throne of the alliance leader. Since this is the case, then I will change the condition, as long as the Shaolin Temple will no longer recruit Manchu disciples in the future, my White Lotus Sect can even support the Shaolin Temple as the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, how about it?"
Chen Ji's purpose was to stop the Manchu Qing's "forbidden weapons" plan, not to be the leader of the martial arts alliance. Being the leader of the alliance is only a means, not an end. As long as the goal can be achieved, it doesn't matter if this alliance leader does it or not.
In fact, Chen Ji was a little busy with the White Lotus Sect's mess, where did he still have the energy to manage the entire martial arts world.
The abbot shook his head and said, "Sect Master Chen Ji's request, Shaolin Temple can't do it. ”
promised Chen Ji that he would completely tear his face with the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Shaolin Temple is not willing to fight to the death with the Manchu Qing. After all, they are just a martial arts sect, as long as they continue to pass it on. As for who is the emperor in this world, they don't care.
Kong Xuan stared at Chen Ji and said, "Sect Leader Chen Ji, what do we do in Shaolin Temple, it's not your turn to worry about the White Lotus Sect." If Sect Leader Chen Ji still has such an attitude, please leave. ”
The amber color in Chen Ji's eyes flashed, and the qi on his body began to emerge, and the temperature around him rose suddenly.
"Abbot, Master Kongxuan, and the four masters, my White Lotus Sect's attitude is very clear, and I will not be an enemy of any sect in the martial arts world. Chen Ji's momentum suddenly increased, "But this time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty implemented the plan to ban martial arts, and in order to stop this plan of the Manchu Qing court, the White Lotus Sect paid a lot of price. You don't want me Chen Ji to be the leader of the alliance, and you don't want the White Lotus Sect to gain power, no problem, as long as you expel the Manchu disciples from the sect. ”
"The face of the Shaolin Temple, I give it to the White Lotus Church. But if you don't give me face, hehe, then you will be my enemy. Chen Ji looked at the six grandmasters and said, "Against the enemy, I, Chen Ji, have always been unrelenting. ”
These monks of Shaolin Temple are too smart. I didn't want to offend the Manchu court, but I didn't want to offend the Southern Ming. I want to please both ends.
However, where in the world is there such a good thing? In the end, I am afraid that the two ends are not human. In another time and space, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty dominated the world, they killed the Shaolin Temple several times and burned Shaolin. Come to think of it, it is because the Manchu court does not like the Shaolin Temple. Otherwise, why didn't the Manchu court burn Wudang and Quanzhenjiao.
Master Kong Xuan stood up and sneered, "Chen Ji, you dare to threaten me Shaolin. It's a lot of guts. My Shaolin Temple has been inherited for thousands of years, and I don't know how many opponents I have encountered, and there are even great masters and Shaolin Temple as enemies, but I still haven't been able to destroy my Shaolin. The poor monk has long heard that your Chen Ji's martial arts and swordsmanship are strong, and today, I want to learn about it and see if your martial arts are as big as your tone. ”
Before the words fell, Master Kongxuan turned into an afterimage and disappeared into the living room.
The light in Chen Ji's eyes flashed, and he didn't show a hand of martial arts, he and the White Lotus Sect were afraid that they would be underestimated by the Shaolin Temple. Since this is the case, then defeat the peerless master of Kong Xuan.
Chen Ji's speed was no slower than that of Kong Xuan, and this was still without using all his strength. When Chen Ji left the living room, the abbot said to the four martial arts masters, "Junior brothers and nephews, let's go out and have a look." ”
........................
Chen Ji and Kong Xuan stood on the competition platform, less than ten meters apart. This distance is too close for a peerless master. It's instantaneous.
"Chen Ji, it is said that your swordsmanship is mysterious, and you have the Mo Evil Divine Sword in your hand, and you are invincible. Draw your sword!" Kong Xuan said in a cold voice with his hands folded.
Chen Ji Gujing said calmly: "If the abbot makes a move, this seat will definitely draw his sword, but against you, there is no need to use swordsmanship." ”
Kong Xuan shouted: "Look down on the poor monk? Chen Ji, you deceive people too much!"
Kong Xuan's body quickly changed positions, leaving several phantoms, and hit Chen Ji with one palm.
Shaolin Temple is most famous for its palm and fist techniques. Among the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin Temple, the vast majority are fist and foot kung fu.
Emptiness specializes in cultivating Prajna palms.
Prajna palm practiced to a high depth, more domineering and fierce than the strong Vajra palm. It can be said that Prajna palm is the most Shaolin palm method.
The powerful palm power carried the Gang Qi and Buddha sound, and instantly reached Chen Ji's chest. Chen Ji lightly stepped under his feet, his body quickly retreated, and his posture was graceful, like a crane dancing.
The empty Xuan's Prajna Palm did not attack Chen Ji, which can be said to be a thousand miles away.
"Roar!"
Chen Ji played the tiger-shaped cannon hammer in the five-bird play.
The sound of the tiger's roar sounded, and behind Chen Ji, a clear tiger phantom appeared.
Pictogram boxing has been cultivated to the extent of Chen Ji, which can be said to be very rare.
Chen Jihui doesn't have many boxing skills, he specializes in this tiger-shaped cannon hammer. One trick is fresh, eat all over the world. The power of Chen Ji's cannon hammer is no longer under the palm of the empty Xuan.
"Boom!"
The Shaolin Temple's martial arts platform was shattered by the powerful Gang Qi.
Kong Xuan took a step back and looked at Chen Ji with a shocked expression. Chen Ji's fist strength is very domineering, and his internal strength is extremely hot, which makes Kong Xuan very uncomfortable.
Chen Ji said with a smile: "Master Kongxuan's Pranya palm is worthy of its name. However, my tiger cannon hammer is not bad. I just don't know, how many punches can the master catch me? ”
Chen Ji used the ape-shaped body method, his body was like a spirit monkey, and his body method was flexible to the extreme, and he couldn't react to it when it was almost empty.
When the abbot and the other four martial arts masters saw Chen Ji's body, they were horrified in their hearts, so happy. When the White Crane Daoist came to Shaolin Temple to challenge, his speed and body method were at the current level of Chen Ji.
Martial arts cultivation, at the level of Chen Ji and Kong Xuan, combat skills are no longer very important, what they care about is strength and momentum. As long as the strength and momentum prevail, you can directly crush the opponent.
Bang, bang, bang!
Chen Jiyi threw twenty-five punches in a row and finally defeated Kong Xuan. Kong Xuan's strength is stronger than Aobai's, but it is not Chen Ji's opponent.
There were blood stains on the corners of Kong Xuan's mouth, and he looked at Chen Ji angrily: "Pure Yang Internal Strength." Chen Ji, you are very good! The poor monk wrote it down. ”
Chen Ji comprehended the pure yang internal strength, and Kong Xuan felt that he had lost unjustly.
Chen Ji clenched his fists and said coldly: "Admit it." ”
The abbot said, "Sect Master Chen Ji, your martial arts are amazing. You can defeat Senior Brother Kong Xuan with just your fist technique, and I don't know what level your swordsmanship has reached. It's a pity that no matter how powerful your martial arts are, there is still no possibility of becoming the leader of the alliance. ”
Chen Ji said: "Whether I can become the leader of the alliance or not, after the martial arts conference, won't I know." In the next farewell. ”
Shaolin Temple is unwilling to support itself, and it is in vain to say it. Chen Ji hugged his fists and turned around and left the Shaolin Temple.
Kong Xuan said angrily: "Abbot, just let Chen Ji go like this?"
The abbot said: "Chen Ji's martial arts swordsmanship is strong, and the old man may be able to defeat him, but he wants to leave, and we can't keep him." Even if the eighteen bronze human formations were used, the result would be the same. ”
