In the sixth year of Yongtai, there was a 19-year-old boy named Chen Youran.
At that time, he was silent and almost no one knew who he was, where he came from, and who did he learn his martial arts from.
The first time people knew him, they remembered him was at the Young Heroes Conference on Mid-Autumn Festival that year, and the person who invited him was Gu Qizong, the leader of the Tianqi Gang who was responsible for hosting the conference at the time.
There is no doubt that Gangmaster Gu also used the authority of "special invitation based on the organizer's personal judgment" to bring Chen Youran into the conference.
But unlike the current leader of the Shen Sect, the leader of the Gu Gang does not have an enemy like the Cao Gang. He has a very good popularity. Regardless of both good and evil, the official world, his evaluation of Gu Qizong is heroic and chivalrous. Not to mention his friend, even the enemy admires him.
Therefore, no one questioned why Gu Qizong invited such an unknown boy to attend the meeting, and Gu Qizong himself never explained it to anyone.
As a result, at that year's conference, Chen Youran became the biggest dark horse. He, who was both civil and military, easily won the championship with a crushing momentum.
Just when everyone thought that this "no sect and no sect" Chen Young Hero would follow the trend and join the Tianqi Gang who was at its peak, he chose to join the Luoyang Zhengyi Sect, which was still quite weak at that time.
Youdao is thirty years from Hedong and thirty years from Hexi.
In a blink of an eye, twelve years have passed.
Today, Chen Youran is the youngest leader in the history of the Justice Sect. He is famous in the world and has once been the weakest of the Four Sects and Three Gangs, and has also risen rapidly under his leadership.
However, the Tianqi Gang sect has disappeared from the martial arts world...
As for the reason for its disappearance, it is not a secret, because it involves a major event that was very sensational to the entire martial arts world in the seventh year of Yongtai. The 13th Wulin Sect led by the Tianqi Gang went to encircle and suppress the main hall of the Five Spirit Sect, the largest evil sect in the evil way.
In that battle, thousands of members of the Five Spirit Sect were almost dead. Seeing that the situation was over, the leader Yi Shixiong set fire to the altar, trying to burn all the jades and stones with the thirteen martial arts people.
The main altar of the Five Spirit Sect was hidden in the abdomen of the mountain, built on a natural cave, and expanded with a large number of bricks and wood. After the fire broke out, the entire altar was filled with thick smoke and began to collapse quickly. If you stayed inside, you would undoubtedly die.
In the end, the 13 sects, not counting the casualties of the previous fight, just the people who escaped from the fire... were less than 30% of the people who came. Fortunately, all the heads of those sects came out smoothly.
But... only Gu Qizong did not come out.
Because when the fire broke out, Gu Qizong was in a duel with Yi Shixiong, and the two were in a difficult situation to get out of the way, so Gu Qizong could not escape at all.
In this way, a generation of heroes finally died with the leader of the Demon Sect, buried in the sea of ​​fire, and buried in the ruins of the collapsed cave, with no bones left.
After Gu Qizong's death, the Tianqi Gang gradually declined. They had suffered the most losses in the duel with the Five Spirit Sect, not to mention losing the huge influence of the leader on the sect. Three years later, the Tianqi Gang finally couldn't stand it, and in desperation, he had to fall into the tree and scatter.
This is what happens in this world. The so-called prosperity and extreme will lead to decline, and too much will be worse than too much.
Because Gu Qizong's martial arts and personal charm are unparalleled in the world, all the cohesion of the Tianqi Gang comes from him alone. When he is not here, the problems covered by his light emerge, and eventually swallow the foundation he has built.
When Gu Qizong died, he was only 31 years old, just the same age as Chen Youran now; he practiced the innate boy skills, so he had never been married, let alone descendants.
Today, although many people still remember him, his name is rarely mentioned again...
Jianghu is such a place. No matter what status and achievements you have achieved, once you die, within ten years, you will be forgotten by people; and behind you, there will always be a group of ambitious and powerful new generations that will emerge, and will lead the way.
No one... can unify the world for generations.
Of course, some things will not be forgotten as life disappears. On the contrary, they will become stronger and stronger as time settles.
For example, hatred.
Chen Youran was carrying hatred. Due to some reason, he vowed to avenge Gu Qizong, and his goal of revenge was... the entire martial arts world.
This Young Heroes Club is the "first step" of his entire revenge plan; although this step is complicated to implement, he has done 70% of the work, which can be said to be quite smooth.
As for who can win the title of the "martial arts test" in the end, Chen Youran has no longer paid attention to it and no longer cared about it.
Among the two teenagers who will play in the next eight-to-four game, one of them doesn't care about the results of the competition. This person's name is Chunkong.
Although Chunkong is only in his early 16 this year, his seniority and reputation in Shaolin Temple are not low; as mentioned above, when Sun and Huang first met Chunkong, they saw him "wearing a monk's robe, with scars on his head, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, white teeth and red lips". There is a detail here... Generally speaking, according to the rules of Shaolin Temple in this universe, 16 or 17-year-old novice monks are usually not qualified to leave scars on their heads. You must achieve some achievements in practice and have certain recognition in Buddhism before you can be qualified to let your master burn scars on your head.
So why is Chunkong different from others? I have to talk about this...
Sixteen years ago, on a stormy night, Master Ji Chen from Shaolin Temple picked up an abandoned baby in a dilapidated temple.
When Ji Chen discovered this child, the child was already angry and motionless, and the tears on his face also turned into frost. Obviously, the child had been thrown in the temple for at least one or two hours. He kept crying in the cold and hungry state, and he cried until the end of the crying.
At that time, Ji Chen was traveling asceticism and was relying on begging for alms and staying to solve food and accommodation. That night, he had been hungry for two days and a night. He finally melted into half a bowl of white porridge. He came to a dilapidated temple under the wind and snow. He wanted to start a fire and heat the porridge to drink it, but he encountered this kind of thing again.
Monks are compassionate, let alone a monk like Ji Chen. When he saw that the child was still breathing, he quickly opened his clothes and put the baby in his arms. He directly used his body temperature to keep the child warm, and quickly set off a fire. He carefully blew the hot white porridge to a gentle level and fed it patiently into the child's mouth, but he did not eat it until the end.
Chunkong survived miraculously.
Later, Ji Chen took him back to Shaolin, but did not name him, just called him "waer".
Chunkong has had a connection with the Buddha since he was young, and he is influenced by him every day. As soon as he learns to speak, he can recite Buddhist scriptures. He can be said to be a stable wisdom and a clear mind. When he was five years old, Ji Chen finally accepted him as his disciple and gave him the Dharma name "Chunkong".
That year, Master Jichen was already fifty-three. His next generation, the disciples of the "Chun" generation who were the same as Chunkong, were almost thirty.
Therefore, those backbone in Shaolin Temple who are about forty years old are actually the same as Chunkong; those monks in their sixties and seventies are Chunkong's master and uncle; and those in their twenty or thirty years old have to call him "Little Master Uncle".
In Buddhism, Chunkong was born with a golden cicada son. When his fellow disciples of his generation talked to him about Buddhist scriptures, he used the saying "asking advice". He went to small temples in some places to teach the abbots there with his practice.
In terms of martial arts, there is a rule in Shaolin. Many people should know that the more advanced the martial arts, the more corresponding Buddhist teachings are needed to resolve the anger; that is, how profound the Buddhist teachings can you learn to what extent.
Therefore, what Chunkong learned from elementary school was one of the most excellent internal skills of Zen: the Lankavatara mental method, and the full name was "Lankavatara Praise Mind Method".
How powerful is this internal skill? Let's put it this way... it is the same level as the "reversal of the universe". As long as you practice it carefully for ten years, you can definitely be at the level of a first-class master in terms of internal strength.
Chunkong started practicing martial arts at the age of nine and has been practicing for seven years so far.
Because he has good internal skills and learns moves very quickly, his master "teached him a few moves casually" in the moves; Master Ji Chen himself is good at palm techniques, so he passed on Chunkong's set of Wei Tuo Palm and a set of great compassion and Qianye Hands, and he gave him the foundation of Prajna Palm.
To sum up, although outsiders are not very clear about Chunkong's strength, according to his master's estimate, he can already go back and forth with those monks who are studying advanced martial arts in the Dharma Academy.
It can be said that Chunkong is the biggest dark horse in this young hero club, but he himself has no desire to fight...
Previously, Chunkong wrote a lot of Zen things in the literary exam and handed over them. He was stunned by the "iron-faced scholar" Qiao Chengshu, who was in charge of the invigilator, so he gave him the first place in the literary exam.
The first person in the literary exam is the only one who can enter the quarterfinals directly bye in the first four rounds. In other words, Chunkong, who made the first game in the eight-to-fourth game, had never played in a martial arts exam before, and had not yet demonstrated his super strength.
So in this current competition, which unlucky guy wants to fight Chunkong?
You can recall who is the one who hit the top of the branch in the bottom left corner of the first round, that is, the promotion table?
