For hundreds of years, Shaolin and Wudang, as the Beidou of the martial arts world, have shouldered the task of confronting the Demon Cult, but the end result is that both sides suffer losses.
Both Shaolin and Wudang feel that it is too dangerous to fight with the Sun and Moon God Sect like this, and there may be a danger of annihilating the sect and severing the inheritance.
So they thought of a tactic that was tried and tested by Zheng Zhijia in later generations - proxy war.
In the international relations of later generations, if two major powers are evenly matched and hostile to each other, they will not have the courage to die together, but they will want to vent their hostility to each other.
At this time, at least one of the parties will choose to support a third party and confront its enemy.
This third-party force does not have to be too powerful, and may even require foreign support in terms of weapons, military, economy, etc., but it can disrupt the existing structure and cause huge trouble or harm to the enemy.
So Shaolin and Wudang began to avoid direct conflict with the Sun Moon Sect, and turned their attention to the Five Mountains Sword Sect, which was only a second-rate sect in the world at that time.
The Five Mountain Sword Sects have been established for hundreds of years, but these five sects have not shown their prominence for hundreds of years, so why did they suddenly rise sixty or seventy years ago, surpassing the traditional major sects such as Emei, Kunlun, and Kongtong in one fell swoop?
This is because before this, Shaolin Wudang has been curbing and suppressing the growth and development of these five sects.
If you work together on the right path, you must be divided into the boss and the second. This is true in all walks of life at home and abroad in ancient and modern times.
But compared to the life-and-death battle between good and evil, the competition between Shaolin Wudang and the Wuyue Sword Sect is relatively benign, at least on the surface.
The contradiction between good and evil is the main contradiction, and the contradiction between righteousness can only be regarded as a secondary contradiction.
As a result, Shaolin and Wudang chose the lesser of two evils and began to seize the big ones and let go the small ones. They encouraged and promoted the alliance of the Five Sacred Sword Sects. They rose up and used a "Sunflower Book" and a tool man Lin Yuantu to successfully divert them from the Japanese.
Conflicts between Luna Cults.
The Five Mountains Sword Sect has risen and become the third largest righteous force after Shaolin and Wudang.
However, there is no free lunch in the world. When you are an agent, you have to be prepared to die and your territory will be destroyed.
The conflict between the Wuyue Sword Sect and the Sun-Moon God Sect was fierce. Ever since the Huashan Sect was robbed of the "Sunflower Book", the war has become intense from the very beginning.
Big figures of the Five Mountains Sword Sect such as Yue Su and Cai Zifeng died in the first conflict. Following the second conflict, all the sword moves of the Five Mountains Sword Sect were broken, and the ten elders of the Sun Moon God Sect were also trapped in the cave.
middle.
Both sides were severely weakened by this conflict, but the war did not end. In the following decades, the main force fighting against the Sun and Moon Sect was the Wuyue Sword Sect, and the two sides continued to fight.
For example, the master of Tianmen Taoism was killed at the hands of a female elder of the Demon Sect.
Another example is that after an elder of the Sun Moon Sect was excommunicated, he was besieged and died by masters from the Songshan Sect, Taishan Sect, and Hengshan Sect.
For example, a junior disciple named Sun of Zuo Lengchan of the Songshan Sect was captured by the Sun Moon God Sect and his hands and feet were amputated and his eyes were gouged out.
For decades, the blood feud between the Wuyue Sword Sect and the Sun Moon God Sect has been irresolvable, while Wudang and Shaolin have been cultivating themselves for decades, staying behind the scenes and never fighting again.
Who takes advantage of this situation? Who suffers?
For the Wuyue Sword Sect, Shaolin and Wudang, everyone gets what they need and it’s a win-win situation.
Shaolin and Wudang are still the leaders in martial arts and have enjoyed peace for decades.
Although the Wuyue Sword Sect suffered heavy losses, it also established its image and status in the righteous path through its confrontation with the Sun and Moon Sect, and cultivated a group of talents with outstanding abilities and martial arts.
If the situation can continue like this, Shaolin and Wudang will laugh out of their dreams.
It's a pity that because of the appearance of two people, Shaolin and Wudang have made good calculations for decades, and changes began to occur, and it was a change that Shaolin and Wudang did not want to see.
One of these two people is Dongfang Invincible
Ever since Dongfang Bubai overthrew the ambitious Ren Woxing, the Sun Moon God Sect began to encircle its territory, and Dongfang Bubai even lived in seclusion on the Blackwood Cliff for more than ten years without wandering around the world.
Later, due to Yang Lianting's relationship, the Sun Moon God Sect began to decline.
The other person is Zuo Lengchan!
Because of the decline of the Sun Moon God Sect, the Wuyue Sword Sect entered a rare period of peaceful development.
Zuo Lengchan, leader of the Five Sacred Mountains Alliance, was ambitious and decided to unite all forces to completely destroy the Sun and Moon God Sect and command the world.
Not only did he want to merge the Five Mountains Sword Sect into one, but he also wanted to overpower Shaolin and Wudang, making the Five Mountains Sword School the largest sect in the world. The emergence of Dongfang Bubai and Zuo Lengchan broke the decades-long establishment of Shaolin and Wudang.
A balanced pattern emerges.
Due to the decline and retreat of the Sun Moon God Sect, the main conflict in the world is no longer the battle between good and evil, but has become the conflict between Shaolin Wudang and the Five Mountains Sword Sect headed by Zuo Lengchan.
To a certain extent, Zuo Lengchan is more difficult to deal with than the Sun and Moon God Sect.
Because to deal with the Sun and Moon God Sect, they only need to shout the slogan "Down with the Demon Sect" and call on the heroes to "come on". But there is no excuse to deal with Zuo Lengchan.
In terms of status, Zuo Lengchan is already on an equal footing with them; in terms of martial arts, Zuo Lengchan is not inferior to them either.
In terms of power, Zuo Lengchan not only integrated the Five Mountains Sword Sect, but also secretly attracted many leftist masters.
There is only one thing that Zuo Lengchan cannot compare to them. Zuo Lengchan is lonely. No one supports him in what he wants to do. If he wants to accomplish something, the whole world is his enemy.
But once Zuo Lengchan achieves his goal, his next target will definitely be the two mountains of Shaolin and Wudang. Therefore, Shaolin and Wudang will definitely not sit back and watch this happen.
How to contain Zuo Lengchan?
Master Fang Zheng and Taoist Chongxu set their sights on Ren Woxing, who was imprisoned in Meizhuang of West Lake.
The best way to deal with a person is to create an enemy for him.
If Dongfang cannot be defeated, then make a substitution!
Xiao Ren did a good job in the past. He was ambitious, capable and skillful. He was the only one!
For a long time, Dongfang Bubai claimed to the outside world that Ren Woxing went too far while practicing Qigong and fell ill and died of illness. This statement was believed by everyone, including Xiang Wentian and Ren Yingying.
But why did Xiang Wentian know that Ren Woxing was imprisoned in Meizhuang, West Lake?
This is the masterpiece of Shaolin Wudang.
Think about the original plot where Linghu Chong met Xiang Wentian as soon as he left the Shaolin Temple, and Linghu Chong happened to be the main force in rescuing Ren Woxing. There was a reason behind this.
But now, because of the appearance of Su Yi, Shaolin Wudang's plan has changed again
Dongfang has not set foot in the world for twelve years and has gone down undefeated.
As soon as he got off the mountain, he went straight to West Lake Meizhuang!
Master Fang Zheng is not worried about Dongfang Bubai learning the "Star Absorbing Technique". Shaolin Wudang has never been afraid of this flawed martial art. What he is worried about is that Dongfang Bubai will destroy his chess pieces. What he is worried about is this unexpected event.
Changes will make the situation develop in an even more uncontrollable direction.
He never wanted anything to happen to Ren Woxing.
But what if something happens to me?
If Dongfang is not defeated, it cannot die.
Otherwise, if Dongfang Bubai dies, who will stop Zuo Lengchan?
It was with such complex considerations and thoughts in mind that Master Fang Zheng and all the masters of the righteous path rushed to Qiantang West Lake overnight.
At the same time, Chongxu also set off from Shaoshi Mountain and headed for West Lake Meizhuang. He and Fang Zheng would work together to control the situation and guide the development of the situation.
West Lake Meizhuang
Su Yi was practicing shooting under a tree.
White Ape Divine Spear!
He practiced this set of marksmanship moves and routines meticulously, from beginning to end, repetitively and rigidly, without any change.
Dongfang Bubai was sitting in a pavilion not far away, playing the piano and paying attention to Su Yi in the field, his beautiful eyes full of tenderness and love.
It has been more than a month since Ren Woxing died.
In Dongfang Bubai's eyes, in the past month or so, his brother Lian has transformed from a handsome scholar with no strength to a top master.
This is an earth-shaking change. Throughout the ages, there has never been such a fast cultivation speed in the martial arts world.
One month, from novice to top expert!
It is said that seventy years ago, Lin Yuantu rose from the bottom to the top with his "evil-proof swordsmanship" in just three months, which was unprecedented.
But now, Brother Lian has shortened this record to one month!
Since Su Yi started practicing martial arts, he has always practiced alone and has never been against anyone.
He has been practicing marksmanship routines meticulously. Perhaps in the eyes of masters such as Huang Zhonggong and Dan Qingsheng, Su Yi's practice is very rigid. If he only talks about moves, he is still far from becoming a third-rate master.
But in Dongfang Bubai's eyes, his brother Lian is simply a martial arts genius!
He can see something that ordinary people can't see, which is Su Yi's "stability" and "accuracy".
The moves and routines used by Su Yi to practice this set of marksmanship. The angle, strength and amplitude of each movement are exactly the same every time they are performed, as if they were completely copied and pasted!
Su Yi is like a precise machine. Every move he makes is a "standard part" made by him. It is absolutely accurate and has no flaws at all.
Looking at the world, no one can achieve such "stiffness" and "no change"!
Even if Dongfang is undefeated!
Seeing Su Yi practicing martial arts like this, he also tried to learn from it, but he was helpless to find that every time he used the same move, there would always be slight changes, and it was impossible to achieve it exactly the same.
Why is this happening?
He was also "not ashamed to ask" Su Yi.
Su Yi's answer to him was: "Swing the gun a thousand times a day, be serious every time, and you will do it naturally."
Dongfang Bubai knew that Su Yi was not perfunctory with him, because Su Yi had been practicing this set of marksmanship in addition to practicing Qinggong these days. He practiced this set of marksmanship over and over again, tirelessly and tirelessly. Dongfang Bubai had never seen anything like this before.
It’s Su Yi who is so diligent)
The most terrifying thing is that Su Yi practiced every move carefully, which is the most valuable thing.
You must know that if any boring and meaningless action is repeated for a long time, people will feel numb and eventually become an instinctive mechanical reaction. In this way, repeated practice without thinking and without intention is actually just for proficiency, and it is not very meaningful.
.But Su Yi really practiced every drill very seriously. He was not just doing the movements mechanically, let alone just to make up for the number of times to complete the task.
This alone made Dongfang Bubai amazed by Su Yi's perseverance and resilience.
Not to mention that Dongfang Bubai also saw the "agility" of Su Yi's every move and style from Su Yi's dull practice.
This is the "connotation" that only absolute masters can see. Su Yi's moves may seem dull and simple, but this is just on the surface. Any external stimulus can immediately change this extreme simplicity and dullness.
Su Yi's move is like a tiger pretending to be asleep
When Dongfang Bubai noticed this, he was extremely shocked.
Because this characteristic is as immovable as a mountain and as unpredictable as the shadows, it is clearly an extremely high level of martial arts!
How could his brother Lotus, as a beginner, have such a profound realm?
He can only attribute this to his extraordinary talent!
Even though Dongfang Bubai is the best in the world, Su Yi's purpose of training so hard with the White Ape Magic Spear is something even he can't understand.
As a master of Chinese martial arts, Su Yi has long since reached the stage where flies cannot land and feathers cannot attach to his body. After experiencing so many life-and-death battles and gathering the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought, his martial arts has long since ceased to be rigid.
moves.
The reason why Su Yi practices the White Ape Magic Spear over and over again is not because of how exquisite this set of marksmanship is, but to become familiar with the use of internal power.
The same moves, with or without the blessing of internal force, are completely different.
Even if there are no moves, just a simple palm-to-pal or sword-to-blade collision, the one with internal strength can knock the opponent away with a palm, or knock the opponent's weapon away with a sword.
Although Su Yi is a master, he is an absolute novice when it comes to the use of internal power.
He practiced the White Ape Divine Spear over and over again in order to use his internal power more easily like an arm, and to retract and release it freely.
This is a long-term process where practice makes perfect, and there is no room for cheating.
In order to master the use of internal energy, Su Yi even sacrificed his time to practice Qing Gong.
He suppressed his romantic dream of flying over the wall and waved his gun boringly again and again.
Because he knows very well that laying a good foundation is the foundation of everything.
Only when he becomes more proficient in the operation and use of his internal energy, and he practices other martial arts, will he be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Su Yi wielded the gun meticulously, while Dongfang Bubai played the piano leisurely.
The music comes from the heart. He played a very cheerful song, which shows that he was in a very happy mood.
At a certain moment, Dongfang Bubai suddenly raised his eyebrows, pressed the strings with both hands, and the sound of the piano suddenly stopped.
Su Yi stopped practicing his spear at almost the same time as Dongfang Bubai and looked around with alert eyes.
The cicadas chirping around them suddenly stopped.
The cicadas will not stop chirping for no reason, especially the cicadas around them will not stop chirping at the same time.
This shows that someone is approaching the other courtyard.
And there are people everywhere!
Huang Zhonggong and the others have already received orders from Su Yi. Except for delivering meals, they will not approach this courtyard to disturb him and Dongfang Bubai. Even if they come, they must go through the main gate and not lurk in all directions.
Therefore, it must be the enemy.
Dongfang Bubai's eyes were slightly cold, and he suddenly jumped up, flew out of the pavilion like a gliding bird, and landed next to Su Yi.
After protecting Su Yi, he looked around and said slowly: "The visitor is a guest. Everyone, since you are here, why don't you show up and see me?"
