Shaolin Temple, this thousand-year-old temple, has become the most famous tourist attraction in China and even the world with the increasing national power of China and the business management of Abbot Shi Yongxin.
Tourists come here all year round, and Shaolin Temple never lacks tourists.
Today, tourists visiting the Shaolin Temple will find that the tourist attractions in the back mountain of Shaoshi Mountain are suddenly closed to the public. The reason given by the Shaolin Temple is that the tourist attractions in the back mountain are under renovation, so they are not open to the public today.
But these tourists did not know that at this time, a huge open space behind the Shaolin Temple was almost overcrowded, with thousands of people in the dark crowd.
Moreover, the costumes of these people are also all kinds of, including monks, nuns, Taoists, lamas, beggars, and many people wearing ethnic minority costumes.
Why do these people in various costumes gather here?
Because today is a grand occasion for the entire Chinese martial arts world, and the martial arts conference that takes place every few years will be held here soon.
These people who came here are all legendary martial arts masters.
With so many warriors gathered together, the scene seemed very noisy.
At the front of the crowd, a grandstand with a height of two meters and an area of about thirty or forty square meters was built. On top of the stand is a huge round table. Around the round table, there are twenty mahogany tables and chairs.
.
Even though the layout of this stand is a bit crude, the thousands of martial arts masters below looked at the twenty-four seats with burning eyes.
These twenty-four seats may seem simple, but those who are qualified to sit on them, just take out any one, are the top masters in the Chinese martial arts world, and are the most powerful masters or family heads in the entire China.
Qualified to sit on it.
The people who can participate in this roundtable meeting represent the most powerful people in the entire Chinese martial arts world, which is an affirmation of the sect and family.
"Look, everyone, a lot of big guys are coming."
No one in the crowd shouted.
The next moment, everyone's eyes were looking in the direction where the speaker was looking.
Following his gaze, he saw a group of more than 20 people walking slowly over. The leader was a fat monk with a red face. Next to the fat monk was an old Taoist with an immortal spirit.
"It's Shaolin Temple abbot Shi Yongxin and Wudang Sect leader Sikong Laodao."
"Look, the head of our Ye family is here."
"The leader of our Eagle Claw Sect is also here."
The crowd suddenly became commotion again and started talking among themselves.
The people who came here were the 24 most powerful forces in China, the family heads and heads.
Under the attention of thousands of people, these twenty-four people slowly walked up the steps to the stands. When they got to the stands, they each found their own place to sit down. There were twenty seats, not many of them.
, also a lot.
"Ahem!"
Shi Yongxin, who was sitting at the center of the round table, suddenly coughed twice after sitting down.
A seemingly ordinary dry cough overcame the noisy voices of thousands of people. In an instant, the chaotic scene suddenly became silent. Everyone knew that the head of the Shaolin Temple, this martial arts Taishan Beidou, was about to
He opened his mouth and spoke.
Shi Yongxin, whose face was flushed, saw that he could tell thousands of people to shut up with just two dry coughs. Shi Yongxin thoroughly enjoyed this feeling.
"Dear martial arts comrades, first of all, our Shaolin Temple is very honored that the martial arts comrades can look up to us, Shaolin, and ask us, Shaolin, to organize this grand event that belongs to us martial arts people."
"What is the purpose of holding a martial arts conference?
The main purpose is to unite our entire martial arts community, exchange more training experiences, and connect with each other's feelings."
"Of course, people can't help themselves in the world, so there will definitely be some disputes and some martial arts scum.
We adhere to the principle that fellow martial artists are members of the same family. If there are disputes or grudges, we try to reduce major issues to minor ones, and try to resolve them peacefully through negotiation to reduce the casualties among our fellow martial artists.
As for those scoundrels who do all kinds of evil, they have seriously smeared our martial arts colleagues and everyone will surely punish them.
The twenty-four forces in our stands are witnesses to help you solve these problems. We, the twenty-four forces, will adhere to the principle of fairness and justice and will never favor any one force. We welcome all martial arts comrades.
Supervision.”
"Bah bang bang..." As soon as Shi Yongxin finished his long opening remarks, he immediately received warm applause from the audience.
Enjoying the feeling of being admired by thousands of people, Shi Yongxin showed a proud smile on his face.
At this moment, a loud voice sounded from under the stands.
"Abbot Shi Yongxin, I definitely welcome the martial arts conference with both hands. It has indeed helped our martial arts colleagues solve many problems. However, I have always had a question in my mind. I wonder if Abbot Shi Yongxin can give me an answer.
?”
I saw a middle-aged man with a majestic appearance and a strong build suddenly squeezed out from the crowd.
"It's Wei Tianshui from the Wei family in Kyoto. How could he pop out?"
"That's right. In the martial arts world, who doesn't know that the Wei family in Kyoto is an affiliated family force of the Shaolin Temple? Why is Wei Tianshui so crazy? How can he go against the Shaolin Temple?"
With the appearance of Wei Tianshui, many martial arts people below immediately started talking in a low voice, as if the pot was boiling.
"It turns out to be the head of Wei Tianshui of the Wei family in Kyoto. Head of the Wei family, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
We hold this martial arts conference based on the principle of fairness and openness, and there is nothing we can’t ask.”
Shi Yongxin chuckled and said.
"Abbot Shi Yongxin, I, Wei Tianshui, want to ask you something today. You, the twenty-four first-class forces in the martial arts conference, have not changed for almost twenty years.
Since those who can sit on this round table, they can represent the strongest force in our Chinese martial arts world.
But now that so many years have passed, the twenty-four first-rate forces in your stands, including some family sects, are no longer enough to be called the strongest forces.
On the contrary, we look at the many forces under the stage, such as our Wei family in Kyoto, who believe that they are strong enough to become a first-rate force.
I just want to ask you, abbot, are these twenty-four first-rate forces still hereditary like the dynasties and generations?"
Wei Tianshui talked eloquently.
Shi Yongxin, who was in the stands, gave Wei Tianshui an appreciative look when he saw Wei Tianshui finished speaking.
"Master Wei, the question you raised is a good one. I have discussed this issue with many sect leaders and family heads.
The twenty-four first-class forces represent the face of our entire Chinese martial arts world. We cannot allow some unqualified forces to sit in this position for a long time. There must be competition, so that the overall strength of our entire martial arts world can be improved. So
I declare that in this martial arts conference, some first-rate forces will be eliminated, and stronger and better forces will take over."
Shi Yongxin said righteously.
And just as Shi Yongxin finished speaking, a cold snort sounded from the stands.
"Bah! If you don't want to be an actor, you are really undermining your talents. It makes me sick to call you that."
