Half an hour later, Chang Yu ordered to break camp and march. The soldiers were wearing straw hats made of tree branches to protect themselves from the cold sun. They just wanted to go into the mountains to cool down. Although the villagers said that there were bandits in the mountains, they all laughed it off.
Thousands of troops and horses are fearless, how can you be afraid of a few bandits?
Moreover, a group of hundreds of cavalrymen, what kind of bandit dares to stop them without knowing their life or death? The thieves in Shandong are pretty awesome, 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. However, 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 block 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 as listless as the trees on the roadside.
"This shitty weather is really terrible." Wuzhong'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 it was even worse when they were 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 that the feeling of skin peeling 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 it will take another twenty or thirty miles. At this speed, we can get out at dusk." Kuang Ren speculated, and Chang Yu hummed: "Have a rest at a place with a water source ahead."
Kuang Ren agreed, and just as he was about to pass on the message, 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. Judging from the time, 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 the work of 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".
You can see this! Although Chang Yu thinks it's a bit exaggerated, he has no way to refute it. After all, the forensic doctors of later generations are even more exaggerated. They can give you an accurate analysis of the weapon used, the angle and the force. It's not surprising that a veteran like Wuzhong can figure out the way. .
"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: "Shi Dian!"
Shidian? 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, Shi Dian is the leader among them. Cheng Chongdou is also skilled in spear skills, but... this Shi Dian has been missing for several years, either living in seclusion or dead, and Cheng Chongdou is now eighty or ninety years old even if he is not dead, so killing the bandit is definitely not what he did."
Chang Yu has heard of the name Cheng Chongdou. He studied martial arts in the Shaolin Temple for ten years. He is proficient in stick skills and marksmanship and relies on his true skills to pass the Shaolin Bronze Man Formation. He went down the mountain and wandered around in the rivers and lakes. He also modified a hand crossbow. He is simply a Ming Dynasty version of a western cowboy. , shocking the world.
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 died eight or nine years ago! As he spoke, he let out a long sigh: "I heard that there is still a descendant of Shi Jingyan in the world. It may be his descendant who killed those thieves. Have you heard about this person Wu Shu?"
Li Muxian and Wuzhong shook their heads, and 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 characters, 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 technique was passed down from Shaolin monk Liu Dechang, and his stick technique was passed down from Shaolin's Hong Ji and Hong Zhuan. Cheng Chongdou's stick technique was 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, otherwise it would be impossible to 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 come from Shaolin, how can you not be angry?
Li Muxian took the lead and sneered: "Shaolin is the only martial arts school in the world, so 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?"
I bother! Li Muchian really spit out his phlegm: "It is said that my family does not 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 gathered in China by Monk Fuju in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty. The compilation of the exercises has something to do with Nadharma! Even the story of the Thirteen-stick Monk rescuing the King of Tang Dynasty is a lie, but the Shaolin Temple still publicizes 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: "Don't care about their virtues! They will do their best 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 host in the early Southern Song Dynasty..." Wuzhong curled his lips and said, Li Muchian 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: "Yu Shuai Yu Dayou." He really knows this anecdote.
Yu Dayou is not only a famous general but also a grand master of martial arts. He is also a grand master with rich actual combat experience. He has rich experience in killing enemies in battle and competing in martial arts. 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 irresponsible work and overwhelming advertising.
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 learned it, he would be invincible in the world.
As founder Li Liangqin, I dare not say whether he is invincible, but Yu Dayou is indeed invincible after completing his studies and practicing hard in the army. It was at this time that he heard the Shaolin Temple's advertisement about the Thirteen Stick Monks who saved the King of Tang. 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 God.
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 "Sequel to Zhengqitang" and "Send Off 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 monk was responsible for his skill. 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 falsified, and the true skills have been lost." Putting on his awning shoes and supporting his bamboo staff, he wandered In the large and small nunneries of this mountain, I visited Bodhidharma's stone cave and looked around the area where the Jincheng Pearl Collection and Longbuhuyin were found. I saw a mountainous area in front of the temple, and its situation was even more strange. I also 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 the responsibility of the foolish monk, that is, the foundation of the foundation is to start with the scriptures. The sword technique has been lost, and the true technique is shown, which is expected to be given to the famous public." Yu He said: 'Yes, it can't be taught and enlightened overnight.'"
"Poetry to Shaolin Temple Monk Zong Qing Orderly" 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 monk boasted that there were more than a thousand people who had mastered this skill, and he had never seen it. I submitted it. I thought that his skills had lost the true secrets of the ancients, so 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 is: The monk boasts that there are more than a thousand people who have mastered his skills, and it is hard to show them to him!
In other words, the thousands of people who learned stick skills in Shaolin Temple came out one by one to gesticulate and fight, but they were 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 that I am awesome, so you should just worship me as your teacher.
Only if 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. Could you please pass on the lost secret to us? Does that mean that Yu Dayou learned the legendary long sword skill from his family?
This is simply a fool’s errand and a failure to afford to lose!
Yu Dayou was a kind man and did not publicize the matter to the Shaolin Temple. However, the Shaolin Temple kept it secret and turned a deaf ear to the real incident. Instead, it publicized the unfounded story of the Thirteen Stick Monks saving the King of Tang. It is no wonder that Li Muchian said that they were lying. Face.
Many people in later generations have ridiculed and ridiculed the Shaolin Temple's business practices. In fact, the reputation of the 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 crackdown 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. Zong Qing gave 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.
When everyone heard Chang Yu's eloquent talk, they realized that at this point, they felt contempt for the Shaolin Temple. However, when they looked at Monk Haihong's face, they didn't 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 to him, he was very shocked and couldn't help but said: "Your Excellency, you know so 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 it’s good. Actual combat is the only criterion for testing one’s ability. Since ancient times, one has to move through military sects and hone his killing skills in the military formations to become invincible.”
Everyone nodded in deep agreement.
