Chapter Twenty-Three: Gossip on Old Things
When Ling Hu Chong heard this, he thought about it for a while, and then he no longer insisted, wanting to see what Lin Zhining could say, and then it was not too late to make a calculation.
Lin Zhining saw Ling Hu Chong sit down, filled the wine glasses of the two, and then said, "Do you know the origin of your Huashan faction?"
Ling Hu Chong looked at Lin Zhining and said, "I heard my master say that it was founded by Hao Datong, the son of Guangning, during the Song Dynasty. ”
"Well, it seems you know a little more. Huashan has a great relationship with the Quanzhen Sect, and the founding patriarch of the Quanzhen Sect, Chongyang Zhenren, has gained a little bit of the Taoism of the pure Yang Zhenren Lu Dongbin and the Huashan sleeping immortal Chen Tuan. Later, the Mongols invaded the Song Dynasty, and Quanzhen was assigned, and Guangningzi integrated the Huashan monastic sect and martial arts forces to create the Huashan faction. ”
Seeing Ling Hu Chong's puzzled expression, Lin Zhining took a sip of wine, and then said: "Until the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Huashan gradually prospered, and it was one of the six major schools of martial arts at that time. As he spoke, he glanced at Ling Hu Chong, and continued: "It's a pity that Huashan was not in charge at that time, and the elders in the sect acted confusedly, and Huashan gradually declined. ”
Linghu Chong's face is ugly, and whoever is counted down by the elders is not, and his face is not bright. Lin Zhining said: "Don't be anxious, just continue to listen to me." ”
"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Zhu Dynasty has seen the power of the people in the martial arts and has the intention to suppress the martial arts, so many magic skills on the rivers and lakes have been lost. Of the original six major sects, only Shaolin Wudang is still strong, and the rest of Huashan, Emei, Kunlun, and Kongtong are all gone. ”
When Ling Hu Chong heard this, he also had a relative. Lin Zhining ignored him as well, and continued: "Later, the people of Huashanmen worked hard to establish the Five Mountains Alliance, and they competed with the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, and their reputation increased greatly. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, because your two predecessors in Huashan knew that Putian Shaolin had a secret book of sunflower treasures, but they abandoned their own magic skills under stealing, and they were even more divided into two factions of sword qi, and there were constant disputes. ”
"What?" but when Ling Hu Chong heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
"Yes, Cai Zifeng and Yue Su stole the Sunflower Treasure Book, but they each got half of it. After returning to Huashan, the two contrasted, but the bull's head was not the horse's tail at all, and both of them were quite conceited, and they both thought that others were wrong, so one focused on sword training and the other focused on qi training. This is the root cause of your Huashan split, the battle of the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect became more and more fierce, and later in a big war, the elite elders in the faction were lost, and Huashan also declined. ”
Saying that, Lin Zhining couldn't help but sneer: "That Yue Su Cai Zifeng is also a short-sighted person, but he doesn't want to be a faction of cheats, which is the most important thing, how can he see it casually." And all parties in this matter are secret, where did the Sun Moon Divine Sect get the news, go to Huashan to snatch the secret book, obviously this is a trick by others to suppress Huashan. ”
This ordered Hu Chong to sit still, and stood up for a moment: "You don't want to talk nonsense, Shaolin is the leader of the righteous path, how can he do such a thing." ”
Lin Zhining glanced at Ling Hu Chong, and said lightly: "Won't you? Then your Huashan Zixia secret book will be easily looked at by outsiders? Do you know that Putian Shaolin later sent a monk to Huashan to theorize, but although that monk does not know martial arts, he is knowledgeable and quick-witted." Cai Zifeng Yue Su apologized on the one hand, and asked him for advice on the incomprehensible points one by one, but he got a little bit of essence, created a swordsmanship, and also broke into the rivers and lakes. He is Lin Yuantu, the ancestor of the Lin family. ”
"That's impossible, in that case, how can there be a Fujian Lin family. Immediately, Ling Hu Chong suddenly realized that he was also extremely smart, and he couldn't think of the trick.
Lin Zhining ignored him and continued: "When the sword qi was fighting, the sword sect master Feng Qingyang was deceived into going to Jiangnan, and when he returned to Huashan, the overall situation had been decided. The wind is clear and disheartened, ignoring the world, and living in seclusion in the mountains behind Huashan. But it's also thanks to him that he is in charge of Huashan, otherwise Huashan wouldn't know when it would have been wiped out. ”
"As for me stealing your Huashan cheats, hey, don't you know the origin of the martial arts on the stone wall? Lin Zhining said with a disdainful face.
"You ......" Ling Hu Chong was furious when he heard this, and then sighed again and asked, "How do you know about these many secrets, and what are your intentions in telling me this?"
Lin Zhining smiled and said, "I'm not interested in you, it's just that I have the True Inheritance, so I naturally don't want you to fall into Huashan." As for how I know, why am I telling you. ”
When Ling Hu Chong heard his rogue words, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "Since you don't want Huashan to fall, why do you go against Huashan several times?"
Lin Zhining looked upright and said: "I know that you have a deep affection for Mr. Yue, I don't talk about Yue Buqun, at most I just look at him unpleasantly." But you said that I have fought against Huashan several times, do you know that your master has calculated against me several times, I have a relationship with Huashan, but I have nothing to do with Yue Buqun, he calculated against me first, what is wrong with me doing right to him?"
Ling Hu Chong was also silent for a while when he heard this, he was not the carefree young man on Huashan for a long time, after being expelled from Huashan, he was in the rivers and lakes, and saw a lot of dirty calculations, he really didn't want to believe what Lin Zhining said, but he faintly told him in his heart that what Lin Zhining said was true.
After thinking for a long time, he said faintly: "Then what are you looking for this time? If it violates chivalry, it will be difficult for Hu Chong to obey his fate." ”
Lin Zhining saw that his expression was relaxed, and he was also relieved, he really didn't want to be an enemy of Ling Hu Chong. At the moment, he said: "Why, if there is nothing to do, can't you have a glass of wine with Linghu Daxia?"
Hearing this, Ling Hu Chong laughed and said, "Okay, it's good to drink, why don't you care about it right or wrong today, and drink him to your heart's content." ”
At the moment, the two of them didn't say much, just buried their heads in drinking, obviously although Ling Hu Chong no longer planned to make a move, he was still preoccupied, and he didn't know what to do.
