A big bell was struck, and the sound of the bell was long and deafening. It spread far and wide. It was powerful and solemn. Shaolin has thousands of years, a holy land of Buddhism. There are bursts of Zen chants and the ethereal sound of Buddha. The entire Shaolin Temple is full of solemnity from a distance.
There is a solemn feeling and a faint fragrance lingering.
When you get close, you can still hear the sound of monks chanting sutras, which seems to wash the soul and purify people of evil thoughts.
It was at noon, and the sun was scorching hot. The bright yellow walls of various temples complemented the golden sunlight, making them look magnificent and solemn.
"brush!"
At this moment, a figure, as graceful as a dragon, came galloping from far away from the mountain. The black figure was riding a purple rainbow, like a fairy and a demon traveling. It was shocking, and it quickly approached here.
When the Shaolin Temple disciples who were on guard on the mountain saw this scene, they opened their mouths wide and were shocked. They had never seen or even heard of a person who could travel by riding a rainbow. It was like a myth, like
Very legendary gods and demons.
As Xu Zifan approached, the disciples in charge of guarding finally reacted and ran towards the temple one after another, with frightened expressions on their faces, shouting as they ran: "A monster is coming! A monster is coming..."
After a while, the monks in the Shaolin Temple stopped chanting sutras, knelt down and bowed to the Buddha, and straightened their waists. The monks who were breathing heavily while practicing martial arts stopped one after another and looked outside.
.
"What are you talking about? This is a pure land of Buddhism. I, the Tathagata, protect you. The sky is clear and the sun is bright. You actually said there are monsters. Isn't it because you have a fever and are confused?" Master Fang Sheng came out to stop.
"Uncle Master, there are really...there are monsters. We have all seen them. If you don't believe it, you can go out and have a look." One of the disciples said with a trembling voice and a look of fear on his face.
"That's nonsense, let's go, I'll go and see with you!" Master Fang Sheng said angrily.
At this moment, in the Main Hall, facing the golden Buddha, the contemporary Shaolin abbot Master Fang Zheng was sitting cross-legged. He was twisting a string of Buddhist beads in his hand and chanting something. At this moment, because of the noise outside the hall, he opened his eyes and looked at the waiter.
The young novice on the side said: "Go out and see what's going on!"
The young novice agreed, chanted the Buddha's name, and walked out.
However, before the young novice monk could walk out of the Mahavira Hall, the door of the hall was knocked open, and several people flew in. They all fell to the ground, crying out in pain.
Master Fang Zheng looked up and saw that those who flew in were the disciples guarding the temple from the Shaolin Temple. At this moment, there was a sound of fighting outside.
But the sound of fighting came and went quickly. Soon, with a scream, Master Fang Sheng, who was dressed in yellow monk robes, also fell in and fell to the ground. He could not get up again, but
He was already seriously injured.
When Master Fang Zheng saw this, he frowned and looked solemn. You must know that although his junior brother, Master Fang Sheng, has not reached the peerless level, he is also a first-class peak master, and few people in the world can match him.
But just now when they heard the sound of fighting outside, his junior fellow disciples, including a group of disciples, couldn't even resist, and were pushed in by the opponent.
It can be seen that the skill of this person is so high that it has definitely reached the peerless level, and he is also a master in the peerless realm.
At this time, Master Fang Zheng's expression was extremely solemn. Since Shaolin's secrets were captured by the Huashan Sword Demon, Shaolin closed its mountains and closed its temples. Who is still at odds with Shaolin?
At this time, accompanied by screams all over the ground, a black figure appeared at the door of the Main Hall.
"Tap...tap...tap..."
Who could this black figure be if it wasn't Xu Zifan? At this moment, Xu Zifan walked in step by step, walking steadily, neither fast nor slow. There was an inexplicable purple aura circulating in the main hall, affecting everyone.
At this time, Xu Zifan's footsteps were like stepping on the pulse of the earth, and every sound was like stepping on Fang Zheng's heartstrings, making him breathless and his chest felt tight.
At a certain moment, the energy and blood in his chest and abdomen surged, and he couldn't bear it anymore. He spurted out a mouthful of blood with a "pop" sound. At this moment, Fang Zheng's face turned golden and he looked shocked. He was a peerless master, but the footsteps of the other party were loud.
Inflicting internal injuries on himself, what level has the other party's skill reached?
At this time, Xu Zifan stopped and stood in the Main Hall, but the aura around him did not restrain. Instead, it was released, and everything in the surrounding void was suppressed by it.
At this moment, everyone in the hall felt a majestic, vast, and powerful aura spreading out from Xu Zifan's body, suppressing everything.
At this time, some of the people lying on the ground fell unconscious under the breath. Even Master Fang Zheng had cold sweat on his forehead and looked at the visitor with a horrified expression.
At this moment, Xu Zifan was standing here. Although he didn't say a word, his figure was like a god and a demon. Everyone standing here who was frightened by the mere presence of his breath did not dare to move.
Perhaps this is the most powerful expression, which is better than a thousand words spoken.
Xu Zifan did not go to Shaolin to reason with the other party this time. He did not have the time to reason with these monks, and Buddhist monks have been famous for their tongues since ancient times. How can ordinary people explain this?
At this moment, Xu Zifan stood quietly in the Main Hall, with the aura around him like a deep ocean, suppressing everything. At this moment, his eyes were indifferent, and he looked at Master Fang Zheng like this.
Master Fang Zheng quickly guessed who the visitor was, and as Shaolin is the Beidou in the world, they did not have portraits of any famous people in the world.
"Amitabha! I didn't know that when Almsgiver Xu came to this temple, he was being greeted from afar and disrespected!" Master Fang Zheng said with cold sweat on his forehead at this moment, forcing himself to smile.
At this time, Xu Zifan's aura gradually subsided, but he stared at Master Fang Zheng and said: "I want an explanation!"
Hearing this, Master Fang Zheng, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted. He understood what Xu Zifan said. It was nothing more than that the Shaolin secrets were revealed, and Xu Zifan took action at the Songshan Sword Party.
thing.
"Amitabha! No matter what, this is the fault of this temple. On behalf of the entire Shaolin sect, I apologize to Almsgiver Xu!" Master Fang Zheng simply admitted his mistake when he arrived and bowed his head to Xu Zifan.
Seeing this, Xu Zifan nodded and asked: "What is the relationship between the Songshan Sect and the Shaolin Temple?" Xu Zifan wanted to clear up the doubts in his heart and asked this question.
After hearing what Xu Zifan said, Master Fang Zheng said: "Amitabha! Since Almsgiver Xu has figured it out, I will confess everything."
"This matter is a long story. Some of the specific matters involve secret secrets of our sect. I would like to invite Master Xu to go to the side hall to talk about it, so that I can show my friendship as a landlord." Master Fang Zheng looked at Xu Zifan and said.
Xu Zifan nodded and followed Master Fang Zheng to the side hall. After being served good tea, Master Fang Zheng began to tell some things. It was not until half an hour later that Master Fang Zheng finished telling this secret about the Shaolin Temple.
Although what Master Fang Zheng said was similar to his guess, Xu Zifan now knew the relationship between Shaolin Temple and Songshan Sword Sect in more detail.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. The Songshan Sword Sect and the Shaolin Temple are both located in the Songshan Mountains, but they are both major martial arts sects. This was something that Xu Zifan suspected was unreasonable when he read the original work. He guessed that the Songshan Sword Sect was supported by the Shaolin Temple.
, that is, the Shaolin Temple is actually the mastermind behind the Songshan Sword Sect.
The purpose of Shaolin's move is to secretly plot against Chen Cang and prepare to dominate the martial arts world. The first step is for the Songshan Sect to merge with the Wuyue Sword Sect, and then to coerce Wudang and the Demon Sect into a fight to the death. Finally, Shaolin will come out to clean up the mess and unify the world.
Xu Zifan's guess was correct. According to Fang Zheng, Zuo Lengchan actually had another identity. He was a Shaolin lay disciple, a contemporary of Master Fang Zheng, and a disciple of Master Yuankong in his early years.
This move of the Songshan Sect was also made by Master Yuankong in his early years. As the number one master of the righteous path at that time, Master Yuankong was by no means as compassionate as he appeared to be, but was very persistent in unifying the world.
From this, everything can be explained. No wonder Master Yuankong was injured that day, but Zuo Lengchan's eyes were full of worry and concern.
"Amitabha! That's what happened. It's all our fault. All the cause and effect will be borne by Lao Monk. I hope Almsgiver Xu will be kind and let the disciples in the temple go. After all, most of them don't know about this matter." Fang
Zheng spoke at this moment, looking at Xu Zifan with a pleading look on his face.
"Haha, Shaolin has such a big plan, playing with the world and applauding!" Xu Zifan said with a sneer, and then said: "If someone finds out, you want to close the mountain and close the temple, even if the demons are dancing in the world, and the flood is surging, you will not care?"
"Amitabha! Shaolin is wrong!" At this moment, Master Fang Zheng looked pious and chanted the Buddha's name, admitting that Shaolin was wrong.
"Mountains are not so easy to seal!" Xu Zifan said, although his voice was not high-pitched, but there was a chill in it that made Master Fang Zheng feel cold from head to toe.
At this moment, he was very afraid that Xu Zifan would directly carry out the act of extermination and destroy the entire Shaolin sect. He knew very well that Xu Zifan had such strength, and if he wanted to destroy Shaolin, he could definitely do it.
"Also, Donor Xu, please spare the ordinary disciples for the sake of their ignorance! As for me, I'll let you, the Donor, do what you want!" Master Fang Zheng said at this moment.
"If I want to let you all go to the temple, I want to go to the Shaolin Sutra Pavilion to have a look!" Xu Zifan said, then looked at Master Fang Zheng and said: "I hope the Yi Jin Jing and the like are also in there, otherwise Shaolin will also
There is no need to exist!”
When Xu Zifan said this, his eyes were cold and murderous, and he looked at Master Fang Zheng.
At this moment, Master Fang Zheng hesitated a little and agreed with what Xu Zifan said.
It is often said that the Yi Jin Jing and the Seventy-two Special Techniques are not taught to outsiders. It depends on the situation. If we encounter such a moment when the sect is destroyed, Master Fang Zheng can still distinguish the current situation. Nowadays, everyone is a swordsman and I am a fish. He cannot
disagree.
Moreover, he also thought that Xu Zifan was now invincible in martial arts, and he probably read the martial arts secrets in the Shaolin Scripture Pavilion for the purpose of studying and gaining knowledge. If he considered it this way, it actually didn't matter.
At this time, Master Fang Zheng said: "The Yi Jin Sutra is not in the Sutra Pavilion. It is carried by Lao Na. Donor Xu, please observe it!" After saying that, Master Fang Zheng took out an ancient book from his arms, and the cover said
The three words of the Yi Jin Jing are the unique internal skills of Shaolin that are famous all over the world.
Xu Zifan stretched out his hand to take it, and then his heart moved again, and he said: "I heard that Shaolin also has a Marrow Cleansing Sutra, which is practiced in conjunction with the Yi Jin Jing?"
When Master Fang Zheng heard Xu Zifan's question, he looked deeply regretful and said: "It turns out that Patriarch Bodhidharma passed down the Marrow Cleansing Technique of Yi Jin, but the Marrow Cleansing Sutra was lost during the previous dynasty. Please ask Master Xu to
Know.”
Xu Zifan nodded slightly after hearing this. He did not pursue the matter further, because through the original work, he knew that the Shaolin Temple Marrow Cleansing Sutra had been lost for many years. He just asked just to confirm the matter.
"Also, less than half of Shaolin's seventy-two stunts have been passed down to this day. Donor Xu, don't misunderstand!" Master Fang Zheng said sadly at this moment, but also a little worried, fearing that Xu Zifan would not believe what he said.
However, Xu Zifan still nodded slightly to express his understanding, and then led Master Fang Zheng directly to the Sutra Pavilion.
Xu Zifan stayed in the Shaolin Sutra Pavilion for a month. During this period, he gained a lot. He had acquired all of the 72 Shaolin unique skills and the remaining 25. These are all top-notch martial arts.
In addition, there are also first-class martial arts such as Thousand-Armed Tathagata Palm, Prajna Palm, Moko Finger, Xiaoyaksha Stick Technique, Great Manjushri Stick Technique, Bodhidharma Breathing Technique, etc. He also studied them one by one and recorded them.
In addition, he also obtained a unique movement technique called Yiwei Crossing the River, which is a light skill that specializes in walking on water. The martial arts principles involved in it are unique and unique, which Xu Zifan values very much.
At this moment, Xu Zifan had to sigh, "Shaolin is the best martial arts in the world!"
The martial arts in Shaolin are really extensive and profound, with a complete range of types. Xu Zifan has gained a lot, which is beyond his imagination. Some martial arts, the martial arts principles involved are really unimaginable, unbelievable, and far beyond the ordinary, giving Xu Zifan a lot of experience in martial arts.
Thinking opens a door.
The background of Shaolin Temple also shocked Xu Zifan. In this month, he had also learned about the masters of Shaolin Temple. In addition to Master Fang Zheng, there were actually two peerless masters.
It is really the Millennium Shaolin, the Taishan Beidou in the martial arts world. If he hadn't encountered the monster Xu Zifan, he would never have made such a big mistake.
After Xu Zifan stayed in the Shaolin Temple for a month, he left Songshan Mountain with a lot of harvest. He used his peerless light skills, rode the purple rainbow, and headed southwest, where is another peak of the righteous path in the martial arts - the Wudang Sect.
Respecting Wudang in the south and Shaolin in the north, the Wudang sect has been prosperous for more than a hundred years. It is the Beidou of Mount Tai in the martial arts world and the leader among the righteous sects.
Wudang Mountain is a Taoist holy land. Many hermits and travelers have always practiced in the mountain. It is said that Emperor Zhenwu praised it: "Not worthy of Zhenwu!"
The Wudang Sect, located in the Wudang Mountains, was founded by a generation of Tai Chi master Zhang Sanfeng.
