"Looking at the grand view from the top of Lion Peak, you turn over and go straight up to the blue clouds; there is a long roar outside the universe, and the wind and moon shadows are cold on the top of the five peaks."

The poet of the Ming Dynasty was really good. He stood on the mountain peak, looked down at Mount Wutai with a fan in his hand, and read poems in his mouth.

Mount Wutai is located in the northeastern part of Shanxi Province and ranks first among the four famous Buddhist mountains in China. It is located on the Loess Plateau and has a long history. It has experienced construction and expansion by many emperors. By the Ming Dynasty, it had more than 100 temples, and the size of the temples reached

Unprecedented.

At this time, Wutai Mountain was famous all over the world and attracted a lot of tourists. When visiting Mount Wutai, I was attracted by its strange peaks, cliffs and thousand-year-old temples. As a result, I became very interested in poetry and unknowingly recited a poem in praise of it.

This was Zhenke's first time to Mount Wutai. In addition to seeing the scenery, he also had another purpose of coming to Mount Wutai this time, which was to watch the Mount Wutai Martial Arts Tournament that made waves in the world.

Although Wutai Mountain is a place for temple cultivation, it is like the Shaolin Temple. It has a group of monks with very powerful martial arts.

Wutai Mountain enjoys a high reputation in the field of martial arts. In order to improve the martial arts of this temple, Taochang, the ancestor of the temple, once said: "If you practice martial arts behind closed doors for a long time, you will fall behind and regress. You must also compete with outsiders when necessary.

Compete with each other, that way you can enhance your martial arts skills."

So Daochang decided: Anyone who comes to challenge Mount Wutai must pass the challenge step by step from junior to senior. The winner in the end can challenge the abbot.

In the first round of challenges, the challengers have to challenge the Tsing Yi monk. The Tsing Yi monk is the youngest member of the Heng family in the monastery. Most of them are young and have little academic skills.

In the second round, we will face the young yellow-robed monks of the Yan generation. These yellow-robed monks are all strong and have practiced martial arts for more than six years. They are the main monks in the temple.

The third round is the middle-aged monks of the Yong generation. They have refined their martial arts and have been practicing martial arts for more than fifteen years.

After these three rounds of competition, the warriors will challenge in the fourth round the temple supervisor and the guardian of the Xingzi generation. The temple supervisor and the guardian are the management figures with status in the temple, that is, the backbone of the temple.

If after these rounds of challenges, one of the challengers wins, then in the fourth round they will face the leader of the class, which is the highest-ranking monk in the monastery, the virtuous generation.

According to the previous practice of martial arts competitions, challengers rarely pass the fourth level. It is rare for a challenger to compete with the leader of the class once in ten years.

This time a challenger came, a Japanese named Jingshang Gaiban, about forty years old, short and strong-looking. He threatened to defeat Mount Wutai.

The manhole cover effortlessly defeated the Yan and Heng generations, and then defeated the monks of the Yongzi generation. He continued to advance, and severely injured the protector of the Xingzi generation and fell to the ground, and advanced again. Everyone was shocked.

, the abbot of Mount Wutai and the three deputies were all shocked!

There are four people including the abbot and the leader of the De class in Wutaishan: Deming, Deqing and Dejue. In the fourth round, Inoue Gaiban will face these three people, and he can only defeat one of these three people.

Then you can compete with Abbot Deyuan.

Among the three class leaders ranked second only to the abbot, Deming is disabled in the lower half of his body and uses a wheelchair all year round. He is a person who has difficulty taking care of himself.

It is said in the temple that Deming was not disabled at that time, and his martial arts skills were still better than those of the abbot. Later, when he led a monk soldier to Shandong to fight against the Japanese, he was grabbed by a big golden-armored eagle and fell from the sky, breaking his whole body.

It is the muscles and bones that cause the disability. Only the hands can move.

Deming is disabled and cannot compete in martial arts, so the manhole cover only needs to defeat either Deqing or Dejue.

It was another wonderful competition, with more and more spectators, and it was crowded with people. He was really one of them.

Therefore, the fourth level of competition means the final bottom line for Mount Wutai. This level must not be lost. Failure will force the abbot to compete in person. If there is any accident, Mount Wutai's reputation will be seriously damaged.

The manhole cover threatened to challenge the two class leaders at the same time. Deqing and Fajue were angry after hearing this, but due to lack of confidence, they accepted the manhole cover's two-on-one condition. Let's keep the reputation of Wutai Mountain first.

The two of them exerted 11% of their strength and worked together to fight against the manhole cover.

However, the thing that everyone least wanted to see happened. Deqing and Dejue felt weak in their hands and feet as soon as they started fighting, as if they were possessed, unable to use their hands and feet, and unable to use their palms. Then both of them were kicked off the ring by the manhole cover.

What a disastrous defeat!

Deqing vomited blood and was helped up by his disciples. He asked the Japanese: "Japanese! Did you use any magic?"

The manhole cover laughed loudly: "If you lose, you lose, why bother looking for excuses, haha!"

"The Japanese martial arts are so amazing!" Some people were talking secretly. Zhen Ke was unwilling to believe the results of the competition on the stage, and was very angry that the Japanese had defeated two eminent monks.

Wutai Mountain was forced into a desperate situation, and the abbot was about to go on stage to compete! It was a strange news in the world at that time. Soon the news spread all over the country, and many people rushed to catch up with Wutai Mountain.

Taishan.

As usual, for the sake of fairness, the manhole cover needs to rest for half a month before starting a competition against the abbot.

Deqing and Dejue explained to the abbot that for some reason they were unable to do anything as soon as the war started. Abbot Deyuan didn't believe it and said: "So many people saw it at the scene. I didn't see him using any hidden weapons. How could there be witchcraft?"

Dejue could only shake his head speechlessly.

At this time, the disciple came to report to the abbot, saying that it was Deming who wanted to see him. The abbot was worried, thinking that Deming, who was disabled, could not be of much help. He asked the disciple to tell him to stay well in the back mountain. Deming had long been taken over by the temple.

They were neglected and forgotten.

The monks were all panicked, the abbot was also panicked, and everyone on Mount Wutai was tense. Only one person seemed very quiet in this chaos, and that was Deming. Because of his physical disability, no one was willing to worship him as a teacher, so he

He only has one apprentice under his command.

This apprentice was adopted by the abbot from a poor family and was given to Deming to pass the time.

Fifteen years later, the apprentice was tall and strong, with a square face and wide mouth, bright eyes, and was wearing a blue monk's robe.

He hurriedly broke into Deming's Zen room and said in a panic: "Master, Master, the temple is panicked. What should we do?"

Deming laughed and said: "Hengzhi, in times of crisis, if you don't think calmly, you get so panicked!" It turns out that this young monk's dharma name is Hengzhi.

Hengzhi scratched his scalp. He was puzzled by the fact that his master was not afraid of danger and was still so calm. He asked: "Master, how come you can still laugh? I'm so anxious. Do you think the abbot can beat that Japanese man?"

Deming said calmly: "The abbot's martial arts are enough to defeat the Japanese, but..."

Hengzhi looked puzzled and asked: "Master, what do you mean, do you think we can win or not?"

"You!" Deming smiled. He was slightly chubby and his face looked round when he smiled. "Let me tell you, I fought against the Japanese in Shandong and Zhejiang ten years ago, and I saw a lot of Japanese warriors! This time

The person here is not a samurai, his martial arts skills are mediocre, but he is a high-level ninja!"

"Ninja?" Hengzhi blinked and said in surprise: "Yes, I occasionally heard the masters talking about it. Master, you used to fight against Japanese pirates in the East China Sea and saw Japanese ninjas. But they were all curious about what ninjas were like.

"

Deming smiled and said: "Ninjas look like ordinary people, but they can appear and kill without sight!"

"Ah?" Hengzhi was stunned.
