As soon as Jingxuan said this, there was an uproar.
You must know that Jingxuan is the eldest disciple of Master Jiejie. He is over forty years old and is the highest-ranking figure in the Emei Sect since Jiejie.
Her words were so shocking that it was hard not to think wildly.
In an instant, rude whispers could be heard from everywhere in the hall.
"Tsk, I didn't expect that Jingxuan has become a nun, but still has a secular heart."
"It's not her fault. Meng Shaoxia from Wudang Clan is so handsome. Who wouldn't want to take a second look at him?"
"But forget it if you think about it in your heart, you can't say it out loud. Emei's face has been completely lost today."
"That's true, but I don't know why Jingxuan is so dizzy and can't control his mouth like this. Could it be that there are too few men on Mount Emei, and the yin and yang are out of balance? Now when I go down the mountain and see a handsome man, I can't help it?
"
"Shh, keep your voice down, be careful, a master from the Emei sect will sew your mouth shut with a sword."
"Hmph, what am I afraid of? She is allowed to do it but I am not allowed to say it. Haha, Master Miejie, Miezhijuezhi, I wonder if this time I want to drive out this shameful apprentice."
A series of obscene words came out, which made all the disciples of the Emei Sect flush with anger. One or two of them almost drew their swords and turned against each other on the spot when they heard that their senior sister was arranged in this way, but in the end they were persuaded by the people around them.
Jingxuan also knew that he had made a mistake and hurriedly explained to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Meng. It's just that your appearance is very similar to that of a respected elder I've seen in the portrait, which makes me really want to confirm..."
Meng Xiuyuan smiled when he heard this and said cheerfully:
"Master, there is no need to explain more, I understand what you mean.
In fact, Master told me this on the first day I went up the mountain.
My appearance is indeed very similar to that of Guo Xiang, the founder of your sect."
When Meng Xiuyuan said these words, he deliberately used a little internal force so that everyone present could hear his voice clearly. Those villains who were still arranging the Emei Sect naturally stopped when they heard this.
After all, this news is really shocking. Although the heroine Guo Xiang has passed away for a long time, she is still famous in the world as the founder of the Emei Sect.
At this moment, everyone from the Haisha Sect and Giant Whale Gang to the three great monks from Zaolin Temple were all staring curiously at Meng Xiuyuan's face.
Before, they only thought that Meng Xiuyuan was a very handsome young man with red lips and white teeth, but they did not expect that he actually had the same face as the founder of the Emei sect.
Few of the people present had seen the heroine Guo Xiang in person, but considering the previous performance of Master Jingxuan of the Emei Sect and Zhang Sanfeng's certification, they naturally believed that Meng Xiuyuan did look very similar to the heroine Guo Xiang.
.
Only when Jingxuan stared at Meng Xiuyuan was explained clearly, many new questions naturally popped up in his mind:
Is it really just a coincidence that Meng Xiuyuan and the heroine Guo Xiang look alike?
Could this Meng Xiuyuan be a descendant of the heroine Guo Xiang?
But Guo Nuxia never married and became a nun in middle age. How did she come to have descendants?
If Meng Xiuyuan was really a descendant of Guo Xiang, how could he join the Wudang sect and not recognize Emei?
I heard that Zhang Zhenren and Guo Xiang, the heroine, had an intersection back then. The two factions have been in close contact with each other for decades and have been in constant love. Is there any hidden secret in this?
Could this real person and Guo Nvxia be back then...
…
Gossip is human nature, and martial arts people are no exception.
It's just that these questions can only be turned around in my mind, but I don't dare to say them out anymore.
After all, if the two founders of the Emei and Wudang sects really accidentally overheard what they said, it would not be as simple as the two jokes about Jingxuan just now.
Insulting the founder is a mortal enemy. Offending both the Wudang and Emei factions at the same time will probably make it impossible for them to survive in this world.
The matter was so sensitive that even Master Jingxuan, who was reluctantly one of the parties involved, didn't know how to ask questions, and was speechless for a long time.
Fortunately, Meng Xiuyuan saw her appearance and took the initiative to say:
"Master, please don't disturb me. Ever since I can remember, I have been alone in this troubled world trying to survive. I have never seen my father or mother.
Fortunately, I walked to the foot of Wudang Mountain and met my master, so I became a disciple of the Wudang Sect and lived happily on this mountain for ten years.
I think it is just a coincidence that I look similar to the heroine Guo Xiang, the founder of your sect, and there is no other reason."
Hearing this, Jingxuan took a deep breath. After thinking for a moment, he bowed solemnly and said to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Thank you Meng Shaoxia for speaking out and clarifying Jingxuan's doubts.
It’s just that you look so similar to my Emei Patriarch. No matter what, it’s a rare fate.
I hope that after today’s incident is over, Meng Shaoxia can take the time to come to Mount Emei. Master, if she can see you in person, she will definitely be very happy.
As for the matter of Emei Nine Yang Gong, we can discuss it slowly when the time comes. After all, God is good at regenerating people, and I think Master can’t bear to see such a young child pass away..."
What happened today was really too strange, so Jingxuan couldn't make a judgment herself, so she could only plead with Meng Xiu to go to Mount Emei, meet with Master Miejie, and let her decide for herself.
For this reason, she did not hesitate to hint at the Emei Nine Yang Gong at the end, just because she was afraid that Meng Xiuyuan would not want to go.
When everyone present heard her words, the most excited ones were naturally Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu, who hurriedly saluted and thanked her. Everyone in the Wudang Sect also echoed her words, expressing their appreciation for the righteousness of the Emei Sect.
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he fully agreed, saying that he would definitely visit as soon as possible.
Immediately, he turned to look at Kong Wen and smiled indifferently.
No need to speak, the meaning is very clear: Look at how easy it is to talk in Emei, how about your Shaolin Temple?
When Kong Wen saw this, although his face was expressionless, his heart was very depressed.
How could he have imagined that Meng Xiuyuan had such a fate with Emei that Emei didn't even reject him.
Now Emei's statement has made Shaolin stand up.
Just when he was finishing his words and wanted to politely reject Meng Xiuyuan regardless of his face, Kong Zhi beside him spoke first and said:
"Boy, don't look at my senior brother like this. He is kind and has some things to say, but I don't want to accept your words.
Why do I need the Jiuyang Kung Fu of Shaolin Temple to treat my palm injury, and I also said that I need to use the martial arts taught by Tianying in exchange...
Haha, it’s really funny, they are just coveting my Shaolin sect’s magical skills.
Have you ever thought about how the martial arts taught by Yin Ying, the Yin benefactor, can compare with my Shaolin stunts?"
"Junior brother, don't talk nonsense." Kong Wen quickly stretched out his hand to stop Kong Zhi.
After all, there are some things that even though you think so in your heart, you can't really say them out.
Meng Xiuyuan was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he laughed very happily.
What the other party said was exactly what he wanted, and things developed smoothly in the direction he expected.
Kong Zhi was not very popular, so when he saw Meng Xiuyuan laughing for no reason, he thought he was mocking him, and became increasingly angry. Regardless of his senior brother Kong Wen's obstruction, he shouted angrily at Meng Xiuyuan:
"Boy, what are you laughing at?"
The smile on Meng Xiuyuan's face remained unchanged and he said loudly:
"I laugh at Master Kongzhi for misunderstanding me and our Wudang sect. How can we be the ones who care about everything and want to take advantage?
Since we have asked the noble sect to teach the Nine-Yang Kung Fu to save my nephew Wuji, we naturally have to express our gratitude.
In addition to my Wudang Nine Yang Kung that I am willing to give to your sect in exchange, your sect can also choose any of the various kung fu taught to me by my master.
My master attaches great importance to friendship but not to rules. I think for the sake of Xiao Wuji’s life, he will definitely agree to my decision."
Master Kongwen heard the words, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"Thank you, Shaoxia Meng, for your kindness. It's just that I have seventy-two unique skills in Shaolin. I have inherited them for thousands of years, but no disciple has ever been able to practice more than twelve. One or two more skills are of no benefit and are just redundant.
Moreover, Zhang Zhenren's martial arts originated from Shaolin. If the two sides exchange martial arts today, people in the world who don't know the truth will say that although the Wudang Sect originated from Shaolin, the Shaolin School also benefited from Zhang Zhenren.
This little monk cannot afford to mess up the hierarchy of generations like this."
Kong Wen's tone was calm when he spoke, but the meaning behind his words was extremely arrogant.
Not only did he say that Wudang's martial arts were inconspicuous among the many unique skills of Shaolin Temple, but he also insinuated that Zhang Sanfeng's martial arts were also stolen from Shaolin Temple, and that Wudang Sect was just a branch of Shaolin.
When everyone in Wudang heard this, it involved the dignity of their master and Wudang. They couldn't bear it any longer, and they all stared in anger. Among them, Mo Shenggu and Yin Liting were young and impulsive, and they couldn't help but draw their swords to ask for advice from the Shaolin monks.
.
However, they were all stopped by Meng Xiuyuan's eyes, signaling not to act rashly.
Meng Xiuyuan was not angry and said warmly to Master Kongwen:
"There is something unknown about the divine monk. Although my master was enlightened by Master Jue Yuan with part of the Nine-Yang Divine Kung Fu when he was young, the Kung Fu of my Wudang Sect was created by him with great concentration later on.
Especially the skills he taught me are even more miraculous. If your sect misses it today, I'm afraid I won't have this opportunity again in the future. Don't regret it for the rest of your life."
Before Kong Wen could answer, Kong Zhi next to him became angry again and shouted loudly:
"Good boy, you are good at telling big words. Tell me, what kind of stunts will we regret for the rest of our lives if we don't learn them?!"
Meng Xiuyuan immediately stopped smiling when he heard this, looked serious, and said with stern eyes:
"Of course he is the number one martial artist in the world."
