Zhou Wen and Zhang Xiaoping couldn't help but look at each other in shock when they heard this. They originally thought that Master Ziqing Lao Dao had some serious grudge against his sect, but who knew that it was actually caused by love, and it was a love that shouldn't exist.
Naturally, an apprentice cannot comment on his master, so the two of them could only sigh.
Zhao Xiaojin said sadly: "These are just the speculations of the master after Uncle Ziqing left Wudang. However, after the master married the master, he has been depressed, thinking that he is an ominous person, and has been blaming himself. The reasons for this separated my fellow disciples of the Longmen Sect, and they died of illness within a few years. The head master and my master never stopped thinking about looking for Master Zi Qing. Until the master passed away, we still respected him. Master must find Uncle Ziqing back."
"After my wife passed away, the master became a Taoist priest. From then on, he became obsessed with medical skills. He goes down the mountain to practice medicine every year. In fact, the main reason is to find his uncle."
Zhou Wenxun thought, the master goes down the mountain every year, and at most he searches within a few hundred miles. How could he expect that the master has no face to return to the mountain? He wishes to go as far as possible, and has drifted to the Funiu Mountain in the hinterland of the Central Plains to live in seclusion, where things are confusing. ah!
He told Zhao Xiaojin the subsequent story of Zi Qing Lao Dao. When he heard that the bandits who caused Zi Qing Lao Dao's poisoning had been caught and beheaded by Zhou Wen, Zhao Xiaojin could only shed tears sadly.
"Master, have you left any descendants?" Zhou Wen asked again.
"No, the master and his wife only lived less than three years. The master's wife died of illness and she did not give birth to a boy or a girl."
Zhou Wen couldn't talk about this topic anymore. He knew in his heart that this matter was wrong from the perspective of ethics. But thinking of the great kindness Lao Dao had shown to himself and to Zhang Xiaoping, he was unwilling to comment anymore.
All I can say is that asking what love is in the world is a matter of life and death.
He also asked how Zhao Xiaojin got acquainted with Gu Zhilun, and learned that their master and apprentice were rescued by Gu Zhilun on the battlefield and owed a promise.
Thinking that the master and the apprentice were in danger because they were looking for the old Taoist Zi Qing, Aiwujiwuxia, his dislike for Gu Zhilun also weakened a bit, and he thought that if there was a chance in the future, he would repay this kindness.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but wonder: "Normally, my uncle is only three years older than my master. He is only in his early sixties now. This is the time when an ordinary rich man is in high spirits. My uncle is already a master of Qi Jin mirror and proficient in medical skills. Why did I die of illness when I was still well versed in the art of nourishing qi in the Wudang Mental Technique?"
Zhao Xiaojin said angrily: "Master did not die of illness, he was plotted by the Japanese."
"What?" Zhou Wen and Zhang Xiaoping said in shock at the same time.
It turns out that the old Taoist Zixu has superb medical skills and strong martial arts. In addition, he has been practicing medicine in the mountains for more than ten years to look for his apprentices. He treats patients regardless of whether they are rich or poor. He takes action when he sees injustice in the world, and unknowingly... Now that he has gained some fame and prestige among the people in Hubei, both black and white in the world must respect him with three points of respect.
At the end of last year, a Japanese martial arts organization called the Black Dragon Society came to Hubei. In the name of Sino-Japanese friendship, it set up a dojo in the important town of Xiangyang. The name was to compete with the Hubei martial arts community, but in fact it was just setting up a ring and directly Come and slap me in the face.
It is said that the economic and cultural center of Hubei is in Wuhan, but why did the Japanese come to Xiangyang, which is just a county-level city, to set up an arena?
But it was because Hubei martial arts originated in Wudang. Starting from the Qing Dynasty, because the Qing government emphasized Buddhism and despised Taoism, Wudang's prosperity for hundreds of years gradually declined, and they were trapped in their livelihood. Not only the disciples of Wudang Mountain were scattered around the world, but also some small and medium-sized martial arts practitioners. The sects also gradually migrated to various parts of Hubei, forming the promotion and development of Wudang martial arts among the people.
As a result, various schools of Wudang martial arts developed within a few hundred miles of Wudang Mountain. Among them, Xiangyang, the largest city away from Wudang Mountain, became another martial arts place after Wudang main sect. The style of martial arts practice prevail.
The Black Dragon Society has sinister intentions in setting up a dojo and arena in Xiangyang. On the one hand, it can use the banner of making friends with martial arts to make a name for itself within the sphere of influence of the Wudang Sect, one of the two major martial arts holy places in China. If they lose, they will just lose to the disciples. The master can also take the opportunity to steal the essence of Wudang martial arts. It would be even more incredible to win, because it would mean that Japanese martial arts, which once learned from Chinese martial arts, has now surpassed China.
On the other hand, it is to demonstrate to the Chinese people the force of Japan's civilian power. It is necessary to declare to the Chinese people that Japan's military is not only stronger than China's, but also its civilian force is also stronger than China's, in order to suppress the rising anti-Japanese and anti-Japanese sentiments of the Chinese people.
Therefore, almost all the elite masters in the Japanese Black Dragon Club came out and set up a ring in Xiangyang City, claiming that within a month they would meet heroes from all walks of life in Hubei.
It has been said since the beginning of self-importance that there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. When the heroes in the Hubei martial arts world saw the little devils, they came to bully them. They could not bear this tone, so there were people with high morals and high respects running around to tell each other. Invite all the sects to send out masters to fight, vowing to give the arrogant little Japan a head-on blow.
However, the development of the form was beyond the expectations of the Chinese people. The result of the first ten days of the competition was 8 to 2. Little Japan won eight games, while the Hubei Heroes only won two games. This was simply like being beaten by Little Japan. A slap in the face.
The rules of Little Japan's arena is to have one trial a day, which is to prevent the Chinese side from using wheel fighting. The results of the ten trials made the Chinese martial arts people anxious. Although there were many martial arts masters from around Xiangyang who heard the news, due to the first ten Those chosen by Tian to compete were all experts with both fame and strength, but they still lost more and won less, which showed that Little Japan came well prepared, which required those who competed to have higher martial arts skills.
After all, this kind of competition is no longer about personal face and grudges, but involves the reputation of Hubei martial arts and Chinese martial arts. Several sects and martial arts hall leaders in Xiangyang held urgent consultations and decided to ask for help from Wudang Mountain.
In fact, the martial arts sects around Xiangyang also want to save face. Either they have no choice but will not ask for help from Wudang Mountain, or because after weighing their own candidates, they really can't find a few people who can compete with the Japanese masters of the Black Dragon Society. The results of the competition This is also very important, and we must ensure that we win most of the subsequent competitions.
In fact, aside from the factor of hatred between the country and the family, it must be admitted that the level of martial arts in Japan during this period has developed to a certain height. Regardless of their karate, kendo, judo and other martial arts, in terms of confrontation and practicality, they have surpassed There are many martial arts schools in China.
On the other hand, many martial arts sects in China cling to the unique skills passed down from their ancestors. For decades or hundreds of years, they have stuck to the old rules and are self-contained, with basically no innovation. As a result, both the martial arts level and the theoretical level have stagnated, and the practicality and The effect is much worse,
