Wudang Mountain.
A burly old Taoist was sitting cross-legged in the mountains, meditating. His whole body was covered with two strands of Qi, one blue and one yellow, which were constantly intertwined and intertwined. The aura was deep, vast, and extremely powerful.
This person is none other than Zhang Sanfeng.
After dealing with some hidden dangers in Wudang, he handed over Wudang affairs to Song Yuanqiao, and went into seclusion again to meditate on the Yin and Yang Avenue of Tai Chi.
On the beautiful and lonely mountain, he was wearing only a thin coir raincoat, eating in the wind and drinking dew, looking lonely.
Tread——
At this time, there were footsteps at the bottom of the mountain, and a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe walked up. It was Song Yuanqiao.
At this moment, his face was solemn, and his brows were still a little tangled.
Because Zhang Sanfeng had told him before retreating that if there was nothing important, try not to disturb him.
But he didn't know if some of the things that happened in the world recently were important, but some things, if not important, had something to do with Zhang Sanfeng, so after thinking about it carefully, he came anyway.
Before anyone arrived, Zhang Sanfeng heard the voice and opened his eyes, looked at the oncoming Song Yuanqiao, and said calmly:
"Yuanqiao, it's only been less than a year, has something happened in the door?"
"Disciple meets Master!"
Song Yuanqiao hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said respectfully: "Master, there is nothing wrong in the teaching. It's just that something happened in the world recently. This disciple feels that he should let the master know."
Zhang Sanfeng frowned slightly: "What does the affairs of the Jianghu have to do with me, Wudang?"
Song Yuanqiao hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "Master, it's about the Shaolin Temple. A few days ago, the Xichang Changgong Yuhuatian from the imperial court took people to Shaolin in order to make Shaolin surrender, but it led to a man in the realm of heaven and man. Strong man, the two of them fought hard, but Yu Huatian left the Shaolin Temple alive and unharmed, and the matter was settled."
"Oh? Celestial Being?"
Zhang Sanfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, then nodded and said:
"Tell me everything you've been through in detail."
"yes!"
Song Yuanqiao did not dare to hide anything and quickly told Zhang Sanfeng all the news he had received.
After hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng felt a trace of emotion on his face and said, "Pindao has long said that this boy is not a creature of the pond, but I never expected that he would break through so quickly."
"In just one year, not only did he break through the Grand Master, but he also jumped to the middle stage of the Grand Grand Master, and even has a strength comparable to that of the late Grand Grand Master!"
"This boy's martial arts talent is so high and his understanding is so strong that it is rare in the world. He is even worse than a poor man!"
Song Yuanqiao remained silent.
Recently, there are rumors everywhere in the world that Yu Huatian is the reincarnation of Wu Zu, and his martial arts talent has surpassed that of the sword god Xie Xiaofeng, Wudang Zhang Sanfeng and others. Only Bodhidharma, the founder of Shaolin thousands of years ago, can compare with him. And there are many people who agree with it.
"As for the Shaolin Heavenly Man..."
Having said this, Zhang Sanfeng frowned and looked at Song Yuanqiao: "You said that an old monk of the 'Jue' generation appeared in Shaolin, and you called that old monk senior brother?"
Song Yuanqiao nodded: "Yes, among the monks of the 'Jue' generation, there was once a person who had a relationship with you, Master. I wonder if this Shaolin Temple heavenly being is..."
Zhang Sanfeng fell silent after hearing this.
After a while, he sighed softly, nodded, and said: "It should be him. There has been no news for so many years. Pindao thought that he had passed away long ago, but he didn't expect that he was still alive, and he even went one step further and stepped into that level... "
Everyone knows that Zhang Sanfeng is the founder of Wudang and the supreme Taoist sect.
But few people know that before he founded Wudang, he was a Shaolin monk and practiced under Master Jue Yuan, a Shaolin monk of the first generation.
Later, due to some differences in ideas, he came down from the mountain and returned to Taoism. He traveled around the world for many years, and his understanding of Tao was further advanced. Finally, he came to Wudang Mountain, founded the Wudang Sect, and gradually became a Taoist leader respected by the world.
But he has always had this connection with Shaolin Temple. Even the Wudang Nine-Yang Kung Fu he practices today was created by taking the essence of the Nine-Yang Magic Kung Fu taught to him by Master Jue Yuan in his early years.
At this moment, the monk of the "Jue" generation in Shaolin Temple that Song Yuanqiao mentioned, if his predictions are correct, should be his mentor back then, Master Jue Yuan.
Because apart from Master Jue Yuan, Zhang Sanfeng could not think of any other monks of the Jue generation who could have such talent in martial arts and reach the level of gods and humans.
Hearing this, Song Yuanqiao was silent for a moment, and then said:
"Master, if this Shaolin heavenly being is really Master Jue Yuan, then this matter has something to do with me, Wudang. That Yuhuatian caused a great disturbance in Shaolin, killed hundreds of Shaolin monks, and also destroyed many Shaolin Temple buildings. It is said that Before Yu Huatian left, the Shaolin Heavenly Man had promised to go to the capital to seek justice."
"My Wudang is the state religion of the Ming Dynasty after all, and that Yuhuatian now has a connection with my Wudang. If he comes to my Wudang to ask the master to take action against the Shaolin Celestial Being, we..."
Speaking of this, Song Yuanqiao showed a look of embarrassment on his face.
On one side is the master's mentor, and on the other side is the imperial court.
If Yuhuatian really comes to Wudang to ask for help, it will indeed be very difficult.
Moreover, although Wudang is strong, it is powerless against a heavenly being.
After all, the master himself said that he is now only at the ninth level of the Grand Master, and there is still a long way to go before he is a heavenly being.
"It doesn't matter."
Zhang Sanfeng waved his hand and said: "I don't think that little friend is the kind of person who would use this connection to coerce Wudang into helping me. Moreover, although Pindao has this past with Shaolin, after so many years, This cause and effect should be settled, Pindao doesn’t owe Shaolin anything.”
"If that time comes, little friend Yu really comes to my Wudang for help, as long as it is within the scope of my Wudang's ability, I will help."
As he spoke, Zhang Sanfeng sighed and said: "In the Ming Dynasty, the power of our Taoist sect is actually somewhat different from that of the Buddhist sect. It's just because the imperial court respected Taoism and suppressed Buddhism, and deliberately elevated the status of our Taoist sect, and even respected Wudang as the leader of the Ming Dynasty. The state religion makes our Taoist sect’s status equal to that of Buddhism. The imperial court treats Wudang like this, so we can’t let the imperial court’s heart go cold.”
"Yes!" When Song Yuanqiao heard this, he immediately understood what Zhang Sanfeng meant and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
This no longer just represents Wudang's position, but a battle between orthodoxy.
Nowadays, Buddhism is very powerful, and there are many temples in the entire Ming Dynasty. However, among Taoism, only Wudang can be said to be a powerful force, and the other Taoism temples are gradually declining.
If this continues, Taoism will one day be suppressed by Buddhism.
To change this situation, Taoism must maintain a good relationship with the court and get help from the court.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for Taoism alone to defeat Buddhism.
After all, the teachings of both sides are different.
Taoism emphasizes governance by doing nothing, but Buddhism vigorously promotes Buddhist teachings for the sake of incense, without caring about the so-called face.
Under such circumstances, how could Taoism be able to defeat Buddhism?
Therefore, if Taoism wants to develop, it can only rely on the imperial court.
As long as it is recognized as orthodox by the court, no matter how powerful the Buddhist sect is, the Taoist sect cannot decline.
At this time, Zhang Sanfeng seemed to remember something, and suddenly shook his head and smiled, saying: "Having said that, it is not certain whether the imperial court will come to Wudang for help. We don't need to be too worried for the time being."
Song Yuanqiao asked in confusion: "Why?"
Zhang Sanfeng turned his head to look in the direction of the capital and said with a smile: "Didn't this heavenly man from Shaolin Temple say that he wants to go to the capital to seek justice? From a poor Taoist point of view, if he really dares to go to the capital, I'm afraid he won't be able to get justice."
Song Yuanqiao was startled: "Master, what you mean is that there are powerful heavenly beings in the capital?"
Zhang Sanfeng nodded: "This is natural, otherwise how can we suppress these martial arts sects in the Jianghu? The reason why the powerful celestial beings are called land gods is because this realm has begun to transcend the realm of mortals. Even if the court has millions of troops, There is nothing you can do when facing such a strong person. Only strong people of the same level can deal with this kind of strong person."
"Furthermore, speaking of it, the one who is in charge of the capital is the real Taoist master. Although Pindao is called the leader of the Taoist sect by fellow martial arts fellows, he is still inferior to that senior."
"this……"
Hearing this, Song Yuanqiao's face was horrified and a little unbelievable.
Is that heavenly man in the capital a member of the Taoist sect?
Moreover, are you even more ashamed than your master?
Who could that be? !
But Zhang Sanfeng had no intention of continuing. He just waved his hand and said: "You go first. If someone comes from the capital to ask for help, then help. If not, forget it. Just do what you do on weekdays. Restraint Disciple, don’t go out and cause trouble.”
"yes!"
After hearing this, Song Yuanqiao had no choice but to suppress his doubts, bowed respectfully, and turned around to leave.
Zhang Sanfeng was still staring in the direction of the capital, seemingly transcending all barriers and seeing the peerless Taoist figure who once stirred up troubles in the world.
"After so many years, I don't know how far this senior has reached at this moment..."
Zhang Sanfeng murmured in a low voice, with a look of emotion on his face.
Immediately, he shook his head, got rid of distracting thoughts, closed his eyes, and once again wandered around, comprehending the Taoism.
…
at the same time.
In a dark villa, a masked man in black looked carefully at the information in his hand, his eyes flashing with brilliance.
This person is none other than the great dragon leader of the Qinglong Society, Gong Ziyu!
Opposite him, there is a middle-aged man in white clothes with an elegant face. This man holds a folding fan in his hand. He has a calm demeanor and a high popularity that is difficult to ignore.
Bang——
After looking at it carefully for a moment, Gong Ziyu slammed the information onto the table in front of him with a gloomy look:
"I didn't expect that after so long, he would be able to fight against a strong man from heaven!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled faintly and said: "Don't worry, I just fought a few moves with that monk Jueyuan. This does not mean that he has the strength of the heavenly and human levels."
Gongzi Yu said coldly: "That's terrible! You know, last time in the capital, he and Li Ruohai fought very hard, and the battle between the old dragon leader Fang Longxiang and Yang Yanyu and the two from Ming Palace, He couldn't even intervene, which shows that at that time, he was only around the seventh level of the Grand Master."
"But now that he can take on the monk Jue Yuan for several rounds without dying, it means that his strength has improved again. Now he is at least as strong as the eighth level of the grand master, or even the ninth level of the grand master, and may even be higher!"
"If we let it grow any longer, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with it!"
"Then when are you going to take action?" the middle-aged man said calmly.
"The sooner the better!"
Gongzi Yu said coldly.
Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "There is a good opportunity to take action now!"
