The two major martial arts sects, Shaolin and Wudang, are actually very close to each other. They can reach each other in just a few days from Wudang Mountain in northern Hubei to Songshan Mountain in western Henan.
The three of Song Xing crossed the Han River from Laohekou to Nanyang, headed north to Ruzhou, and then turned west to reach Songshan Mountain.
The three of them went up to Shaoshi Mountain, tied the green donkey under a tree, and rode on foot.
Zhang Sanfeng revisited his old place and recalled that more than eighty years ago, his master Jue Yuan picked up a pair of iron buckets, took Guo Xiang and himself to escape from Shaolin. Looking back at the past, it was not just a lifetime ago?
He sighed in his heart, held Wuji's hand, and slowly climbed up the mountain. He saw that the five peaks were still the same, and the forest of steles was still the same as before, but Jue Yuan and Guo Xiang were no longer in the world.
The three of them arrived at Yiwei Pavilion. Shaolin Temple was already in sight, and they saw two young monks walking towards them talking and laughing.
Zhang Sanfeng made an inquiry and said, "I'm sorry to inform you that Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang Mountain wants to see Master Abbot."
When the two monks heard Zhang Sanfeng's name, they were startled and looked at him intently. They saw that he was tall, with silver beard and hair, a smooth and rosy face, and his green robe was filthy.
You must know that Zhang Sanfeng was willful and unkempt. When he was in his prime, people in the world secretly called him "Sloppy Taoist", and some people called him "Zhang Sloppy". It was not until his martial arts skills and reputation grew that no one dared to call him that. .
The two monks were doubtful and rushed back to the temple to report. After a long time, the temple door opened, and Master Kongwen, the abbot, came out with his junior brothers Kongzhi and Kongxing.
Behind the three men were a dozen old monks wearing yellow robes.
Zhang Sanfeng knew that they were the elders of Bodhidharma Monastery, who were probably higher than the abbot. They studied martial arts intensively in the temple and did not care about foreign affairs. He thought it was a big deal when he heard the head of the Wudang Sect coming, so he went out with the abbot to welcome him.
Zhang Sanfeng rushed out of the pavilion, bowed and saluted, and said, "Abbot Abbot and all the masters are here to greet you."
Kong Wen and others put their hands together in ceremony.
Kong Wen said: "Zhenzhen Zhang came from afar and something unexpected happened to the young monk. I wonder if you have any advice?"
Zhang Sanfeng said: "I just want to ask you for something."
Kong Wen said: "I don't dare, please come to the temple to talk."
Although Zhang Sanfeng left the Shaolin Temple without warning when he was young and could be said to be an abandoned disciple of Shaolin, but now he is a great master, and with the peerless martial arts he had shown in Wudang, Kong Wen and others did not dare to be too disrespectful.
Welcoming Zhang Sanfeng and others into the temple, Kong Wen had another consideration. If Zhang Sanfeng and Song Xing came with malicious intent, Bodhidharma's Twenty-Four Arhat Formation would let them know why Shaolin has been the number one martial arts sect for thousands of years. .
Among the four great monks of Shaolin, Kong Jian was compassionate, but unfortunately he died the earliest; Kong Wen was a very deep city, and his joy and anger were indescribable; Kong Xing was muddy and unintelligible, and he had no understanding of worldly affairs; Kong Zhi was narrow-minded, and he often felt that Zhang Sanfeng was in the Shaolin Temple. He secretly learned martial arts, which actually made the Wudang Sect's reputation surpass that of the Shaolin Sect, and he has always been unhappy in his heart.
Coupled with his previous defeat at the hands of Zhang Sanfeng's disciple Zhang Cuishan, he felt even more indignant.
As soon as the two parties sat down, Kong Zhi rushed in front of Kong Wen and said: "Master Zhang is here, is he here to get back the ground for what happened last time?"
Zhang Sanfeng said: "A red flower originates from a lotus root. The martial arts in the world are originally from the same family. They have supplemented each other's strengths for thousands of years. The martial arts leader of the Shaolin sect has been recognized by everyone for hundreds of years. The poor Taoist who went up the mountain today is the martial arts of the Xinmugui sect." , you should seek advice from all the masters.”
As soon as Zhang Sanfeng said this, all the Shaolin monks changed their expressions!
Just saying that he "wanted to seek advice from all the masters" was a verbal challenge.
Song Xing saw the performance of the Shaolin monks from the side and sneered secretly in his heart. Although the appearance of meteorites from the sky has caused the upper limit of the force value in this world to continue to increase.
But the Buddhist mentality of these monks in front of him was far from the Shaolin monks he met in other worlds.
Monk Kongzhi said: "Good old Taoist, you want to test us, we are not afraid of you. There are thousands of monks in Shaolin Temple swarming up, you may not be able to choose Shaolin Temple."
Although he said "not afraid" in his mouth, he was actually very scared in his heart, and he had already made up his mind to swarm thousands of people.
Zhang Sanfeng hurriedly said: "Masters, please don't misunderstand me. What I said about asking for advice is really asking for advice. It's just that when I studied the "Nine Suns Sutra" passed down by my ancestors, there were many incomprehensible problems and incomplete omissions. The eminent monks of Shaolin are very skilled in cultivation. If they can give you their teachings freely, so that Zhang Sanfeng can learn the Tao, I would be deeply grateful."
Zhang Sanfeng has unrivaled magical skills and founded a sect. He has been practicing for ninety years. In the contemporary martial arts world, his reputation and status are so high that no one can surpass him.
Now for the sake of Zhang Wuji, his disciple, he gave up his old face and humiliated Kongwen and others. Even Song Xing felt a little disgusted.
Kong Wen sat upright. Although he was a little surprised when he heard the words, he still frowned and said: "Zhenren is joking. We have not had any contact with Shaolin Wudang for decades. Zhenren's martial arts attainments are shocking to the world. How can a late learner be given guidance?" .”
Alarm bells rang in his heart, and he mistakenly thought that Zhang Sanfeng came to Shaolin this time because he was interested in some magical skills of the Shaolin Town Sect, and in the name of asking for advice, he took them away.
Zhang Sanfeng seemed to sense his worries and said straight to the point: "To be honest, I came up the mountain this time to save the life of my disciple."
Kongwen had long noticed Zhang Wuji, who was thin and sickly beside Zhang Sanfeng, and recognized him as Zhang Cuishan's child, but did not understand why Zhang Sanfeng brought this child to Shaolin.
At this moment, hearing Zhang Sanfeng say that he wanted to save his life, Kong Wen looked at it carefully and said slowly: "Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. If the real person comes here to seek medical treatment, there will be a few sets of Jade Spirit Powder given to the real person in our temple." .”
Yu Ling Powder is a sacred medicine secretly taught by Shaolin Temple. Common internal and external injuries can be cured by taking one dose.
Although Kong Wen was very deep in the city, he was not as impatient as Kong Zhi. Seeing that Zhang Sanfeng was sincere and did not look like he was here to cause trouble, he changed his words.
If a pair of Jade Spirit Powder can send Zhang Sanfeng away, it would be better to do less than to do more.
Unexpectedly, although Zhang Sanfeng stood up and thanked him, he showed a wry smile: "The cold poison that Wuji is suffering from cannot be cured by ordinary medicines. The old Taoist who came to Shaolin this time is really shameless to ask for the Nine Yang Gong compiled by Zen Master Wu Se. .”
"Nine Yang Kung Fu?" Kong Wen, as the abbot of Shaolin, is naturally familiar with the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin.
Zen Master Wuse was originally the head of the Luohan Hall of Shaolin Temple during Lizong's reign in the Southern Song Dynasty. He was a heroic and open-minded man. He was originally a hero in the green forest. Later, he joined the Shaolin sect and practiced Buddhism intensively for decades, but his former heroic nature has not changed.
Because he was born in the green forest when he was young, he has a wide range of knowledge. After becoming the leader of Luohan Hall, he studied the martial arts of various schools and schools, so he has a very profound knowledge of martial arts.
At that time, he and "Western Madness" Yang Guo became an old friend. Three years after the third sword debate at Mount Huashan, Guo Xiang went to Shaolin Temple to inquire about Yang Guo's information from Wu Se. He fought with the monks in the temple because he forcibly brought weapons into the temple.
Wu Se recognized Guo Xiang's identity because of the Iron Arhat, and even became friends with him for many years.
Later, Zhang Junbao violated the temple rules because he learned Luohan Boxing by himself. The monks in the temple hunted Zhang Junbao, Jue Yuan and others everywhere. Wu Se once secretly led a group of disciples elsewhere so that Jue Yuan, Zhang Junbao and Guo Xiang successfully escaped from the Shaolin Temple.
Wu Se rushed to where the three of them were staying, and hid behind a tree when Jue Yuan was raving about the "Nine Sun Sutra" and memorized part of the sutra, and based on this part of the sutra, he realized the Shaolin Nine Yang Kung Fu.
