Chapter Seventy-Eight: Enlightenment
Zen Master Mingxin shook his head and said, "Don't you know, although Duan Qingxuan of the Huashan Sect is useless, there is still a clear wind. That Feng Qingyang's swordsmanship is superb, even if he is a teacher, he doesn't dare to say that he can beat him, and it is not too difficult for this Huashan faction to revive. Besides, the Huashan faction has a grudge against my Southern Shaolin lineage, and the teacher has always been worried that the wind is clear and will come to seek revenge, so as long as the Huashan faction still has a breath, it has to be guarded against. ”
When Yue Buqun heard this, his breathing couldn't help but increase a little, and He Sanqi was even more surprised, and asked, "My Southern Shaolin has a grudge against the Huashan faction?
Zen Master Mingxin paused, as if recalling something, his eyes were confused, and after a long while, he said: "This matter is a long story, everything starts from the time of Taizu in this dynasty." In his later years, Emperor Taizu slaughtered the ministers of civil and military affairs in order to protect his own throne, although cruel, but Taizu was very good to the people, so there was chaos in the court and the world was not chaotic. However, the literati officials were secretly very resentful of Emperor Taizu, and they did not dare to resist, but secretly they often made trouble. instigated powerful people to rise up and make trouble, and even the son of Taizu was confused by Yaoyan, thinking that he was the son of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, and had the heart to rebel. In the end, he died and the country was destroyed, how foolish. There are not a few people in the rivers and lakes who are confused by the words, including the Emei faction's Xinzhi Shitai, and the hermit master of the Zhongnanshan Tomb School after the Condor Heroes at the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. More than 90 years ago, Xinzhi Shi Taixiang invited the ancient tomb to send a master to Nanjing to assassinate Emperor Taizu. It's a pity that although the two have high martial arts, they are both muddy people. That is, he didn't know the general trend of the world, and he didn't know the means of Taizu, so he rushed into the palace to assassinate, but was defeated by the Ouchi masters in the palace, and all the people of the Emei faction were killed on the spot, and only the masters of the ancient tomb faction broke out of the encirclement. Emperor Taizu was furious and ordered the masters of Ouchi to encircle and suppress the Emei faction and the tomb faction. The disciples of the Emei faction were leaderless and could not resist the imperial army, so they had to flee in all directions. The Tomb Sect thought that their place was very secret and no one could find it, so they did not flee, but just closed their doors to recuperate. Unexpectedly, the eagle dog Jinyi Wei of the court had great powers, and he had already explored the entrance of the ancient tomb faction, and the army surrounded it, and the entire gate of the ancient tomb faction was destroyed, and no one escaped. And the Emei faction was not until the Chengzu Dynasty, and only a few masters returned to the Emei Mountain faction. In the past hundred years, it has been very low-key, neither grudges with people, nor has deep friendships with people, and only worships Buddhism and cultivates the Tao on weekdays, practices martial arts to strengthen the body, and does not care about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. ”
After hearing such a secret story, He Sanqi realized the reason why the Emei faction had been so low-key for many years, and hurriedly asked: "What does this matter have to do with my Southern Shaolin?" Mingxin Zen Master replied: "This matter has nothing to do with my Southern Shaolin, it is just the revenge of Emperor Taizu later, but it has set off countless bloody storms on the rivers and lakes. Not only did it cause a large number of deaths among the masters in the rivers and lakes, but it also affected the Southern Shaolin that I had just opened the mountain gate. So that my southern Shaolin had to face the hostility and secret slander from all forces on the rivers and lakes. It also allowed countless small people to sneak into my South Shaolin to make trouble, so that my South Shaolin was in dire straits, and the sun was like a year. ”
He Sanqi stood upright and listened to the story of Mingxin Zen Master calmly, and Mingxin Zen Master continued: "What are the methods of Emperor Taizu of your Dao? I just simply threw out a secret book of divine skills, "Sunflower Treasure Book", and let all the people in the rivers and lakes know that the original owner who had successfully cultivated this divine skill had killed all the main leaders of Mingjiao in one fell swoop twenty years ago. So that all the people in the rivers and lakes will kill each other for this miraculous secret, which is both simple and practical. At that time, the abbot of South Shaolin was the ancestor of the teacher, the old Zen master of Red Leaves. His old Zen master's martial arts are both high and compassionate, and he can't see the bloody battles of people in the rivers and lakes. So he personally took action, took the "Sunflower Treasure Book" over, and included it in the South Shaolin Temple, borrowing the former prestige of the South Shaolin to suppress the source of chaos. Without this source of chaos in the rivers and lakes, the killing suddenly reduced a lot. Although this move is good at the rivers and lakes, it also evils Emperor Taizu. Emperor Taizu then summoned the Red Leaf Master to Nanjing, scolded him fiercely, and forced the Red Leaf Master to re-flow the "Sunflower Treasure Book" into the rivers and lakes, if he dared not comply, he would send the court army to kill my Southern Shaolin lineage. In desperation, for the sake of the thousand-year-old foundation of Southern Shaolin, the ancestor of Hongye had to think of a way. Taking advantage of the visit of Yue Su, the ancestor of the Huashan Sect, and Cai Zifeng, the ancestor of the Sword Sect, they put the "Sunflower Treasure Book" in the meditation room, and secretly wanted the two to steal the "Sunflower Treasure Book" to avoid disaster. ”
Yue Buqun and He Sanqi were dumbfounded when they heard this, and they didn't dare to send a letter, He Sanqi asked, "Is this...... This...... It's really ...... Then the second ancestor of the sword qi of the Huashan faction really stole the "Sunflower Treasure Book"?"
Zen Master Mingxin shook his head and said, "They didn't steal it, they just looked at it in a hurry and left." It was only later that I heard that they had returned to Huashan, and they wrote the same secret book silently. Only then did the ancestor of Hongye burn the original in public, and sent his subordinate Zen Master Duyuan to persuade the two. As far as Hongye Master Ancestor knows, this "Sunflower Treasure Book" is extremely harmful to the human body, so you can learn from it, but don't practice it. I am indignant and ashamed to know that you must have been indignant and ashamed for the misfortune of the Red Leaf Master, but this was the best way at the time. At that time, the Huashan faction was the strongest righteous sect except Shaolin and Wudang, and it formed an alliance with the other four factions of Wuyue, advancing and retreating together, and it was not weak in terms of momentum. If they keep the "Sunflower Treasure Book", it will also have the effect of calming the chaos in the rivers and lakes. And they themselves also wanted to get the "Sunflower Treasure Book", but they didn't expect that the Sun Moon Divine Sect, which had just been established by the remnants of the Ming Sect at that time, was so strong that it not only snatched the "Sunflower Treasure Book" of the Divine Skill Secret, but also killed the second ancestor of the sword qi of the Huashan faction. As a result, it triggered an eighty-year-long battle between the Wuyue Sword Sect and the Demon Sect. Hongye Shizu regretted it very much, and took into account the order of Emperor Taizu, he did not dare to reveal his true feelings, and he was unhappy every day, and finally died depressed. Before he died, he instructed his disciples to secretly take more care of the Huashan faction, and to take care of the descendants of the Huashan faction, so as not to let them be wiped out by the Demon Sect. In the past few generations, my Southern Shaolin has always been worried that the Huashan faction will come to investigate the past, and he will be condemned by his conscience every day, and his mind will be uneasy. ”
He Sanqi sighed, sighing for this ancestor-level elder, all this can only be said to be a creation to make people, or everything has to blame the Taizu Emperor. So he asked again: "I don't know why the master asked the disciples to pay more attention to the Fuwei Dart Game, is it because of Lin Yuantu?" Mingxin Zen Master nodded and said: "Yes, because Lin Yuantu is the teacher's teacher, Bodu Yuan. ”
"Huh?" He Sanqi was shocked again, and Zen Master Mingxin explained: "After Zen Master Duyuan went to Huashan, the two seniors Yue and Cai thought that Zen Master Duyuan had practiced the "Sunflower Treasure Book", and they brought a copy of the treasure book to ask Zen Master Duyuan for advice. Unexpectedly, Zen Master Duyuan didn't know anything about the martial arts on the treasure book, because he saw that the martial arts on the treasure book were very profound, he couldn't help but be greedy and disobeyed the teacher's orders. In addition to casually explaining the mysteries, he secretly memorized them and copied them down that night. After comprehending it, he created a magic skill by himself, which is the famous "Sword Spectrum to Warse Evil Spirits" on the rivers and lakes. After going down to Huashan, Zen Master Duyuan wrote a letter to Hongye Zen Master who wanted to return to the vulgar, and immediately returned the vulgar and changed his name to Lin Yuantu. When Zen Master Hongye later learned that Lin Yuantu was Zen Master Duyuan, he also learned that Lin Yuantu's martial arts were the same as those of the "Sunflower Treasure Book". So he personally went to the door and persuaded Lin Yuantu not to pass on the "Sword Spectrum to Ward Off Evil Spirits", which was very harmful to others. Lin Yuantu was grateful for the virtue of the Red Leaf Zen Master, and vowed never to teach others the "Sword Book of Warding Off Evil Spirits", and also created a Fuwei Dart Game in Fuzhou, and since then he has married a wife and had children, living and working in peace and contentment. Because of Southern Shaolin, the Lin family no longer practices the "Sword Technique to Ward Off Evil Spirits", and I, Southern Shaolin, naturally have to take more care of it, so that the Lin family will not be bullied. He Sanqi said: "I see, Master, you can rest assured that the Fuwei Dart Bureau will be handed over to the disciple, the disciple will definitely protect the Lin family, and at the same time, he will also take care of the disciples of the Huashan faction." ”
