They are the majestic Shaolin Temple, a superpower that has been inherited for hundreds of years, the Taishan Beidou of the martial arts world, and the leader in the world. How have they ever suffered such grievances?
Even if their reputation in the world seems to have declined in recent decades, it is because they have become temporarily low-key due to some reasons from above, but in fact the world is still under their control.
As the actual controllers of the world, how could they, who were accustomed to being superior, tolerate being treated like this?
Their fellow disciples were killed, and they were humiliated face to face, and even their own special skills were forcibly taken away from them. Even when Dongfang Bubai defeated Shaolin, they had never been so aggrieved!
"well!"
Master Fang Zheng sighed deeply.
He knew that these fellow disciples of his were still immersed in the past glory of Shaolin Temple and did not realize what kind of existence they were facing now!
After a long silence, Master Fang Zheng decided to make them realize this clearly.
"Junior brothers, in your opinion, what kind of person is Xu Yi?"
"The devil! A complete devil!"
"That's right! This is a big demon even more evil than Dongfang Invincible!"
"If this demon is not eliminated, there will be endless bloodshed in the world! For the survival of the world, we must kill this demon as soon as possible!"
"That's right! We must kill this devil! Revenge for the dead brothers!... and for the sake of the future of the world!"
All the Shaolin monks were furious and expressed their anger one after another.
Master Fang Zheng did not stop them and allowed them to vent. When they had almost vented, he slowly spoke.
"Lao Na has some different views from the other junior brothers. Regarding Xu Yi, my first thought is that he is a martial arts genius! A martial arts genius who is comparable to or even surpasses Zhang Sanfeng and Bodhidharma!"
Hearing this, all the Shaolin monks looked unhappy.
They say Xu Yi is a martial arts genius, but say that he is a martial arts genius comparable to or even surpassing Zhang Sanfeng and Patriarch Bodhidharma?
This is completely unacceptable to them!
Patriarch Bodhidharma has a different meaning to Shaolin. Although he is not the founder of Shaolin, his status is no less than that of the founder of Shaolin, and is even more prosperous!
Let's put it this way, if it weren't for Bodhidharma, their Shaolin Temple would be inconspicuous among the Buddhist and Taoist sects. There are many powerful Buddhist forces in this land.
The reason why their Shaolin Temple has become the leader of Buddhism in the world and has been the leader in the world for hundreds of years is because of the foundation laid by Bodhidharma!
Without the seventy-two unique skills Bodhidharma left them, as well as the "Yi Jin Jing" and "Marrow Cleansing Sutra" left to them, they would never have been able to reach this stage.
For them, the meaning of the four words 'Master Bodhidharma' is too important. Now you actually tell him that Demon Xu Yi can be compared with Patriarch Bodhidharma?!
"Impossible! That Xu Yi's martial arts talent may indeed be a bit powerful, but how can he compare with Patriarch Bodhidharma?"
"The Patriarch Bodhidharma studied heaven and man, and created seventy-two unique skills and two major scriptures, the Yijin Sutra and the Marrow Cleansing Sutra. How can a mere Xu Yi compare with the Patriarch?"
"That's right! I don't believe that Xu Yi can be compared with Patriarch Bodhidharma. In my opinion, his skills may have come from something he ate, not from his own cultivation at all!"
"That's right. I think so too. Our Shaolin Temple has the Great Return Pill. The Huashan Sect may not be as good as us, but it has prospered in the past. It is normal for some panacea to appear. Maybe it was discovered by him by some chance.
Did you get it?"
A group of Shaolin monks talked to each other, belittled Xu Yi in various ways, denied his existence, and did not admit that he could compare with Bodhidharma at all.
Master Fang Zheng sighed deeply, he knew that such a situation would happen.
Even if some things are facts, even if they are put in front of them, they will not be willing to admit them.
"Junior brothers, please listen to what I have to say."
"Leaving aside the skill aspect, I don't know why he has such powerful skills at such a young age. Maybe he really got some kind of opportunity."
"However, skill can come through chance, but what about swordsmanship? You have all seen the swordsmanship he performed at that time, but what I want to tell you is that you have no idea what that swordsmanship means!"
"this!"
Seeing Master Fang Zheng speaking so solemnly, all the Shaolin monks couldn't help but hesitate on their faces.
Is there really something they don't know?
"Brother Abbot, please speak clearly!"
Master Fang Zheng looked around and slowly uttered a sentence.
"Impression! I feel the artistic conception in his swordsmanship!"
"What?"
The faces of all the Shaolin monks changed greatly.
"In the legend, there is an artistic conception that can only appear when you reach the innate realm?!"
As people from Shaolin, they naturally know more about the realm of martial arts and have a clearer understanding of what it means to have artistic conception.
Let's put it this way, from ancient times to the present, all warriors with artistic conception have basically broken through to the innate level as long as they don't die!
"This demon, he, he actually has artistic conception?"
Some of the Shaolin monks even felt their scalps were numb and their whole bodies were paralyzed.
That is an innate warrior who has not appeared for hundreds of years!
Since the death of Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang, the entire martial arts world has never seen or even heard of the existence of innate warriors.
Even before Zhang Sanfeng, he had not been seen for hundreds of years. The next innate warrior could be traced back to the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty.
What a distant period that was?
Martial arts in this world are constantly declining. During the Southern and Northern Song Dynasties, innate warriors should not have been born. However, Zhang Sanfeng went against the will of nature and broke this rule every time, becoming the only innate warrior in the post-martial arts era.
This is also one of the important reasons why he was later recognized by the world and elected as a martial arts master, compared with Bodhidharma.
He did things that he shouldn't have done in impossible times.
Everyone thought that with the emergence of Zhang Sanfeng, all the power in the world would be exhausted, and it would be impossible for another innate warrior to emerge.
But hundreds of years later, another equally talented young man appeared.
"innate······"
All the Shaolin monks murmured these two words in their hearts.
This is undoubtedly the most sacred yearning in the hearts of all warriors. Which warrior who practices martial arts does not want to be able to step into the innate realm one day? Take a look at the pinnacle of this martial arts?
It's a pity that based on their qualifications, it's hard to say whether they can reach the ultimate realm in this life, the innate realm?
That's a level they can't even dream of!
Knowing that Xu Yi was almost 100% able to step into the innate realm, all the great monks fell silent.
Maybe they still don't think that Xu Yi can be compared with Bodhidharma, but just like they don't think that Zhang Sanfeng can be compared with Bodhidharma, it doesn't mean that they don't think so.
This is an objective fact!
Master Fang Zheng was relieved when he saw this.
Although they were not completely convinced, at least they now barely knew what kind of existence they were about to face.
"Let's go back to the mountain first! As for how to deal with Xu Yi's matter... we'll talk about it after we go back to the mountain!"
Master Fang Zheng was also deeply troubled by how to deal with Xu Yi.
Judging from his brief contact with Xu Yi, his deepest impression of Xu Yi was.
This is a murderous god who won’t reason with you at all!
There is no morality in the world, no sophistication, no master's demeanor, none of it exists in him!
One sentence is reflected in him.
Those who follow me will prosper, those who go against me will perish!
Translated into vernacular, it means, I can do whatever I want!
From this point of view, a group of Shaolin monks called him "Demon", but it really didn't mean anything at all.
There are no such completely unruly people in the world of justice.
Even in the evil and evil ways, there are basically no such people. Even Dongfang Bubai, who they call the greatest devil in the world, also abides by many rules and it is impossible to cross them easily.
But Master Fang Zheng couldn't see this in Xu Yi.
It was as if there was nothing called 'awe' in him.
That’s right!
Master Fang Zheng couldn't see a trace of awe in him, whether it was awe of the rules of the world or the rules of the world.
In the process of Master Fang Zheng's contact with Xu Yi, especially when he tried to use secular rules to reason with him, he felt this very clearly.
My rules are the rules!
Not my rules?
I'll blow it up for you right away!
Master Fang Zheng was suddenly startled by himself.
"He doesn't really have that kind of... idea, does he?"
To rule the world? Let everyone in the world abide by his rules?
If it were other people in the world, Master Fang Zheng might not have such thoughts.
Whether it is Dongfang Bubai or Zuo Lengchan, their goal is to dominate the world and become a martial arts overlord. It is impossible to think of reaching that level.
What's the use of saying something unpleasant even if they think about it?
They can't even cross the two thresholds of Shaolin and Wudang!
Xu Yi is different.
If he really wants to... at least their Shaolin threshold will definitely not be able to stop him!
"It shouldn't be possible."
Master Fang Zheng thought for a while and then shook his head.
"Strriving for world hegemony is not that simple. No matter how strong a person is, he cannot do such a thing without the ability to govern the world."
He felt that Xu Yi would not do such a thing.
but······
"According to how strong and domineering this person is, the Yi Jin Jing and those martial arts skills may not be enough to satisfy him!"
Master Fang Zheng looked sad.
He didn't know if Xu Yi had any ideas about the world, but it could be seen from Xu Yi's previous requests that he had great ideas about martial arts!
And when it comes to martial arts in the world, which one can compare with their Shaolin Temple?
The world's martial arts originated from Shaolin.
This sentence may be a gimmick created by the Shaolin Temple itself, but it is undeniable that their Shaolin martial arts are really many!
Is it really possible for Xu Yi, who has so many ideas about martial arts, to let Shaolin go?
"It seems I have to prepare for a rainy day!"
Master Fang Zheng secretly made up his mind.
After returning to Shaolin Temple.
The first thing he did was to call the head of the Bodhi Courtyard.
"Brother, I heard that your operation went very poorly this time down the mountain?"
"I'll tell you about this later. You listen to me first. I have something I want you to do."
"Senior brother, tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"After you go back, immediately hide the "Nian Hua Kung Fu", "One Finger Diamond Technique"... these martial arts skills secretly, and at the same time instruct the people below to secretly send everyone who knows the news about these martial arts skills down the mountain.
My order is not to allow them to come back!"
"Senior brother, what happened? You have to do this?"
The face of the leader of the Bodhi Courtyard changed. This method is completely used when facing a disaster!
That's not right. If disaster is really imminent, then a large number of talented disciples must be secretly sent out to serve as seeds for future rise.
We should not just let some people who only know the relevant martial arts go down the mountain. This is not in line with the best response.
But if it wasn't a disaster, why did so many martial artists leave Shaolin?
"I'm just preparing for a rainy day."
Master Fang Zheng shook his head slightly.
"If possible, I also hope that what I did is wrong, but there are some things that I have to guard against. That one... I really can't see through him!"
"That one? Who is he? Is he the one who caused us heavy losses this time?"
The leader of the Bodhi Courtyard asked with a serious expression.
Although he doesn't know the specific situation yet, he does know that only half of the people who returned this time were there.
In this operation, Shaolin lost nearly ten first-class masters!
This is definitely the heaviest loss their Shaolin Temple has suffered in the past few decades!
Ever since they diverted the trouble from the Sun and Moon Demon Sect to the Five Mountains Sword Sect, very few top-notch warriors in Shaolin have died.
Except for those who died at the end of their lives, the number of first-class warriors they had died unconventionally in the past decades was not even half as many as this time.
One can only imagine how heavy their losses were this time!
Master Fang Zheng hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell the other party the complete truth.
Just when he is about to speak.
"Abbott! Urgent news has arrived!"
"What news? Tell me."
Master Fang Zheng acted very calmly. He felt that after experiencing Xu Yi's incident, nothing could shock him anymore.
"The Songshan Sect was wiped out! There were thousands of people in the whole sect, and no one survived!"
"What did you say?"
Master Fang Zheng was completely stunned.
It took quite a while before he finally came back to his senses.
He turned to look at the head of Bodhi Courtyard and said dryly.
"Junior brother, let this be done as I told you just now. In addition, have someone copy all the existing martial arts in Shaolin!"
"Brother!"
"Just do as I say. Okay, I'm tired, you all can go down first."
Master Fang Zheng closed his eyes. At this moment, he seemed to have aged dozens of years in an instant.
