Half an hour later, Chang Yu ordered to break camp and march. The sun was blazing above their heads. The soldiers wore straw hats made of tree branches to protect themselves from the cold. They just wanted to go into the mountains to cool off. Although the villagers heard that there were bandits in the mountains, they all laughed it off.
Thousands of troops and horses are fearless, but how many bandits are you afraid of?
Moreover, a group of hundreds of cavalrymen, what kind of bandit dares to stop them regardless of life or death? The thieves in Shandong are quite impressive, but now, the bones are buried in the green mountains.
Besides, it's broad daylight now, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
After nearly half an hour, they finally entered the mountain, but the soldiers suddenly felt disappointed. They thought they could walk along a shady path like those in Shandong where the leaves on both sides of the mountains blocked the sky and the sun. In contrast, it was a sunny avenue in front of them.
The closest distance between mountains is several miles, and most of them are hilly wilderness and there are also cottages.
On such a hot day, it would be too much for the horses to run in a hurry, so they had to let the horses go slowly under the scorching sun. It really made the people listless and withered like the trees on the roadside.
"This shitty weather is really terrible." Wu Zhong's shirtless shoulders were peeled off by the sun and the skin was red and painful. But when he put on his clothes, they were soaked with sweat and only made it uncomfortable to wear close to his body. He couldn't help but curse.
Chang Yu was not much better than him. His clothes were soaked already but he didn't dare to take them off because he knew the feeling of peeling skin after sunburn would be even more painful.
Fortunately, it was almost evening, and the sun would gradually weaken. By then, we could find a place with water to rest, and we could run faster at night. I thought to myself, so I called Kuang Ren: "How far is it before we can get out of the mountain?"
"I estimate that it will take another twenty or thirty miles. At this speed, we can go out at dusk." Kuang Ren speculated, and Chang Yu hummed: "We will meet a place with water ahead to rest."
Kuang Ren agreed and was about to pass on the message when he heard the soldiers and horses in front becoming noisy. Many soldiers gathered on the roadside to watch something, so he rode over to take a look.
But they saw more than ten corpses lying in a mess on the roadside, swollen and swollen due to the scorching sun, and a swarm of flies buzzed around them, making those who looked at them disgusted.
"Look at the corpses, these people must not have been dead for more than a day." Chang Yu's entourage were all veterans and they could see the clues at a glance. Chen Wangting looked around and said: "A fierce fight happened nearby."
"These people should be the thieves that the villagers call them." Qiao Sanxiu stood next to the corpse and frowned. It's just that by whose hands these thieves died, and they were just abandoned like this. This is an official road. In the daytime,
The merchants are constantly coming and going, and they are not afraid of shocking the world.
"Could it be that Chunxiang killed him?" Chang Yu came over and looked at Li Muchian. Chunxiang might have passed by here yesterday, and no one else except them had the courage or strength to fight with the bandits.
"It's not Chunxiang and the others." Wuzhong looked at several corpses and shook his head. It was not Dongchang's method, it was done by Jianghu people: "And... there is a gun master." He pointed to the one whose throat was pierced.
Corpse: "This man's marksmanship is not inferior to Ji Jike's".
This can all be seen! Although Chang Yu thinks it is a bit exaggerated, he has no way to refute it. After all, those forensic doctors in later generations are even more exaggerated. They can give you an accurate analysis of the weapon, angle and force used. A veteran like Wuzhong can
It’s not surprising to see the doorway.
"There are not many gun masters in this world. Do you know who else besides Ji Jike?" Chang Yu asked casually, waving his hand to continue on his way.
Wu Zhong and Li Muchian are both familiar with Jianghu allusions, and they both said in unison: "Shidian!"
Shi Dian? Chang Yu frowned, the name was a bit unfamiliar, and just when he was about to ask, Li Muchian continued: "There are only a few people who use guns in this world, but as long as those who use guns are all top masters, this Shi Dian is
Among them, Cheng Chongdou is also good at spear skills, but... Shi Dian has been missing for several years, either living in seclusion or dead. Cheng Chongdou is now eighty or ninety years old even if he is not dead. Killing bandits is definitely not his place.
for".
Chang Yu has heard of the name Cheng Chongdou. He studied martial arts in the Shaolin Temple for ten years. He mastered stick skills and marksmanship and relied on his real skills to pass the Shaolin Bronze Man Formation. He went down the mountain and wandered around the world. He also modified a hand crossbow. He was like a Ming Dynasty version of a western cowboy.
, Megatron Jianghu.
But he didn't know who Shi Dian was, but his surname was Shi: "Could it be related to Shi Jingyan?"
Li Muxian and Wuzhong looked at each other and laughed: "Shi Jingyan is the Shidian! Jingyan is his nickname."
Chang Yu suddenly realized, and then he paused: "I only hate that you were born before I was born, and that you are dead before I was born." He vaguely remembered that Shi Jingyan should have been dead for eight or nine years! As he spoke, he sighed: "I heard that Shi Jingyan still has descendants in the world.
, those who killed those thieves may have been his descendants, have you heard about Wu Shu?"
Li Muxian and Wuzhong shook their heads, while Chang Yu looked at Chen Wangting and Qiao Sanxiu and shook their heads.
Then he sighed: "That man is a strange person in the world. It's hard to find him."
The march was boring, so when we talked about these Jianghu figures, everyone started chatting and took turns talking about Jianghu allusions and chivalrous romances. Chang Yu also listened with gusto.
"I heard that Shi Jingyan and Cheng Chongdou are brothers in the same discipline." Chang Yu vaguely remembered that Shi Jingyan's spear skills were passed down from Shaolin monk Liu Dechang, and his stick skills were passed down from Shaolin's Hong Ji and Hong Zhuan. Cheng Chongdou's stick skills were also passed down from Shaolin monks.
Two Shaolin monks.
"If you say so, Master Cheng Chongdou and Master Hai Hong are also senior monks. I heard that Cheng Chongdou also received guidance from two eminent monks, Zongshu and Zongdai, and Haihong's master Zong Qing and those two senior monks are senior monks...
..." Wu Zhong laughed.
Everyone agreed, and Kuang Ren, who was listening with interest, said casually: "We are all from the same sect, so how else can we say that the world's martial arts originated from Shaolin."
But this sentence caused a big disaster, and everyone glared angrily. You must know that the great masters around you all have their own schools, Wuzhong's Bajiquan, Chen Wangting's Tai Chi, Qiao Sanxiu's Three Emperors Cannon Hammer... Obviously
They are all your own stuff. If you insist on saying that they are from Shaolin, how can you not be angry?
Li Muxian took the lead and sneered: "Shaolin is the only martial arts world in the world. Where did Shaolin's martial arts come from? Did it fall from the sky?"
Seeing everyone's anger, Kuang Ren knew something was wrong but still replied: "Didn't Shaolin's martial arts come from Patriarch Nadharma?"
Bah! Li Muxian really spit: "Everyone says that my family doesn't lie, but this Shaolin Temple has been the leader in the art of lying for thousands of years. The source of Shaolin boxing is the Shaolin boxing manual, which was hosted by Fuju in the early Southern Song Dynasty.
The monks collected Chinese Kung Fu and compiled it, and it has something to do with Nadharma! Even the story of the Thirteen-stick Monk saving the King of Tang was false, but the Shaolin Temple still publicized it to fool the world, which is really shameful."
Li Muxian's words were so poisonous that everyone was startled and looked behind them. Next to the carriage directly behind the team, Monk Haihong was walking slowly wearing a straw hat and holding a Zen staff. He didn't know anything about this place and probably had no interest at all.
.
"How come you, a Taoist priest, know so much about Buddhism?" Wuzhong asked in confusion, and Li Muchian snorted: "Look at their virtues! They will try to put gold on their faces." He said, sweeping away everyone: "
You just said that Shi Jingyan and Cheng Chongdou learned the stick technique in Shaolin (the ancients named the sword stick, and the long sword technique is the stick technique), but do you know who this Shaolin stick technique came from?"
"Didn't you just say that it was the Shaolin boxing manual compiled by the director in the early Southern Song Dynasty..." Wuzhong curled his lips and said, Li Muxian said: "I told you that he compiled the boxing manual, and the poor man asked about the stick
Law".
"This governor knows!" Chang Yu smiled and said, "Yu Shuai Yu Dayou." He really knew this anecdote.
Yu Dayou is not only a famous general but also a great master of martial arts. He is also a great master with rich actual combat experience. Whether it is killing enemies in battle or competing in martial arts, he has rich experience. All his martial arts are killing techniques that have been tested in actual combat.
, it is definitely not the flashy routines played by ordinary martial arts masters or monks in temples.
But how did Yu Dayou get involved with the Shaolin Temple? This has to start with the Shaolin Temple's lack of business and overwhelming propaganda advertisements.
Yu Dayou learned swordsmanship (stick technique) from Li Liangqin. Li Liangqin was the founder of Zhang Er Stick Technique. He told Yu Dayou that after he mastered it, he would be invincible in the world.
As the founder, I dare not say whether Li Liangqin is invincible, but Yu Dayou is indeed invincible after completing his studies and practicing in the army. It was at this time that he heard the advertisement of Shaolin Temple, about the thirteen stick monks who saved the king of Tang Dynasty.
Zhao Kuangyin became a monk in the Shaolin Temple (Taizu of the Song Dynasty was also a great master of martial arts, and Taizu's Changquan and Whistle Stick were also very good). In addition, there is also the divine long sword technique (stick technique) that is the focus, which was passed down from the gods.
At this time, Yu Dayou was invincible in stick skills. Hearing that there was a god in Shaolin who taught stick skills, he naturally wanted to come and learn about it. The Shaolin Temple has recorded this matter, and Yu Dayou also recorded it in "The Sequel to Zhengqitang" and "Farewell to Shaolin Temple Monk Zong Qing Youxue"
about this matter.
Do you know how it turned out?
There is a clear record of this visit to Shaolin in "The Sequel to Zhengqitang": "I heard in the past that in the Shaolin Temple in Henan, there was a long sword skill passed down by the gods. When Jiajing was Xinsi years old, he was ordered to march south from Beiyunzhong and took the road to the temple. The monks were responsible for his skills.
All the masters came out to present it, and told the abbot, the man on the hill, "This temple is famous all over the world for its sword skills, but it has been passed down for a long time and has been corrupted, and the true skills have been lost." Putting on his awning shoes and supporting his bamboo staff, he wandered around.
In the large and small nunneries in this mountain, I went through Bodhidharma's wall-faced stone cave, browsed the Jincheng Pearl Collection, and the area where dragons and tigers sounded. When I saw the mountainous area in front of the temple, the situation was even more strange, so I told the people on the hillside: "A small courtyard can be built here.
, in order to increase the success of this temple." Xiaoshan said with emotion: "The responsibility of building the courtyard is assigned to the foolish monk, that is, the foundation of the foundation is to start with the sutras. The sword technique has been lost, and it is hoped that the true technique can be shown to the famous public."
He said: 'Yes, it can't be taught and enlightened overnight.'"
"Poetry to Monk Zong Qing of Shaolin Temple" also says: "I once heard that the Shaolin Temple in Henan Province had fencing skills taught by gods. Later, I returned from the clouds and took the road to the temple. The monks boasted that there were more than a thousand people who had mastered this skill, and it was rare to see it.
I presented it. I thought that his skills had lost the true secrets of the ancients, and I told the monks clearly, saying: 'I would like to be taught.' I said: 'This will only be achieved after years of accumulation.'"
What does it mean? The key point: The monk boasts that there are more than a thousand people who have mastered his skills.
In other words, thousands of people who practiced stick skills in Shaolin Temple came out one by one to gesticulate and fight, but they were all defeated by Yu Dayou, no matter they were singled out or in group fights.
Although Yu Dayou has not detailed the process of defeating the group of monks so far, he only knows after comparing his martial arts. I can't say I am awesome, so you should just worship me as your teacher.
Only when you are fucked will you become a disciple.
But even though Shaolin Temple was defeated, it still had a thick skin.
So he said that my family's true secret was lost. Can you pass the lost secret to us? Does that mean that Yu Dayou learned his family's legendary long sword skill?
This is simply a fool’s errand and a failure to afford to lose!
Yu Dayou was a kind man and did not make a big deal about it for the Shaolin Temple. The Shaolin Temple kept it secret and turned a deaf ear to the real incident. Instead, it publicized the unfounded story of the Thirteen Sticks Monks saving the King of Tang. No wonder Li Muchian said they were lying.
Face.
Many people in later generations have ridiculed and ridiculed the business practices of Shaolin Temple. In fact, the reputation of Shaolin Temple has not been good for thousands of years. After all, if you want to miss the good scriptures of foreign monks, you must first create some scandals and hype them up. This kind of internet celebrity in later generations
Their routines were very popular in Shaolin Temple thousands of years ago.
Because of this incident, Yu Dayou was dubbed by later generations as the first person to spread martial arts and crack down on counterfeiting!
Of course, later Yu Dayou passed on the stick technique to Shaolin. At that time, two brave young stick monks Zong Qing and Pu Cong were brought from the Shaolin Temple to teach the skills in the army. The two monks followed him to learn skills and fight in actual combat for three years.
Later Yicheng returned to Shaolin, but Pu Cong died of illness soon after returning to the temple, and Zong Qing awarded the martial arts learned from Yu Dayou to the monks, so later, whether it was Cheng Chongdou, Shi Jingyan, or Monk Haihong, they
The Shaolin stick techniques I learned were actually Yu Dayou's stick techniques.
After everyone listened to Chang Yu's eloquent talk, they realized that there was such a passage, and they felt contempt for the Shaolin Temple. However, when they looked at Monk Haihong's face, they did not curse like Li Muchian.
Li Muxian has always been proud of his extensive knowledge and knowledge, but when he saw that the young eunuch was not inferior, he was very surprised and couldn't help but said: "Your Excellency, you know very much about this hidden secret in the world. Could it be that it has something to do with Marshal Yu?"
"
Chang Yu laughed and said, "Our family is really thinking about it, but we are born at the wrong time!"
He said and swept everyone away: "After hearing about Marshal Yu's martial arts competition, do you have any opinions?"
"We are stupid, I hope you can give me some advice," Chen Wangting, Qiao Sanxiu and others quickly said.
Chang Yu said seriously: "First, don't use your interests to challenge other people's jobs. Second, traditional martial arts, whether it's Master Chen's Tai Chi, Master Qiao's Three Emperors Cannon Hammer or Wuzhong's Bazi Quan, are practiced behind closed doors.
It's useless even if you're good at it. Actual combat is the only criterion for testing your ability. Since ancient times, you have been circulating in the military and honing your killing skills in the military formation to become invincible."
