Chapter 119 Obtaining the Yi Jin Jing

The visitor was none other than the head of Wudang Sect, Taoist Master Chongxu!

"Master Chu, is what Master Fang Zheng said in the letter true?"

As soon as Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying walked in, Taoist Chongxu, who was sitting on the guest chair, stood up and asked Chu Yuan.

"it is true."

Chu Yuan nodded.

"Do you know that there were two Huashan Sword Contests in the Southern Song Dynasty?"

After sitting down together, Chu Yuan asked Taoist Chongxu and Master Fangzheng.

"do not know much."

Master Fang Zheng shook his head.

"I have heard something about this matter. It was in a biography left by the founder Zhang Sanfeng that I heard about the Huashan Sword Contest. It is said that the winner of the first Huashan Sword Contest was Wang Chongyang, the founder of the Quanzhen Sect, the largest Taoist sect at the time. Five masters fought for a secret book called the Nine Yin Manual. Later, these five masters were called the Five Supremes. The winner of the second contest seemed to be a young man named Guo Jing."

Taoist Chongxu said.

Chu Yuan was not surprised. The events of The Return of the Condor Heroes and The Legend of the Condor Heroes happened only in the last two to three hundred years, so it was normal for Taoist Chongxu to know some things from the biographies of the characters passed down by the founder Zhang Sanfeng.

"My idea is to hold a martial arts event like the Huashan Sword Contest. Anyone who considers themselves a master can participate. The sects of the top five winners will be members of the Five Sects Alliance, but only one person from each sect can be shortlisted."

Chu Yuan said to Taoist Chongxu and Master Fangzheng.

"Where will this martial arts event be held?"

Master Fang Zheng asked Chu Yuan.

"Huashan is famous for its dangers. Anyone who can climb Huashan is a master. The most dangerous part of Huashan is Luoyan Peak, the southern peak. How about holding this martial arts event at Luoyan Peak?"

Chu Yuan thought for a moment and added, "Only those who have climbed Luoyan Peak are eligible to participate."

He had been to Huashan before and knew that the peak was the most dangerous.

"So when will this martial arts event be held?"

Taoist Chongxu asked Chu Yuan again.

"How about holding it at the intersection of mid-winter and late winter?"

Chu Yuan said.

The terrain of the Huashan Mountain is already dangerous. In winter, if there is a heavy snowfall and the mountain is covered with ice and snow, the already steep peaks will be even more difficult for immortals to climb.

Chu Yuan's move is to raise the threshold for participating in this martial arts event, so that those who lack martial arts skills will give up.

Master Fangzheng and Taoist Chongxu understood what Chu Yuan meant as soon as they heard it.

"To be honest, before Taoist Priest Chu arrived, I and Master Fang Zheng had already discussed it, and both of us have no objection to this decision!"

Taoist Chongxu said.

Compared to refusing to agree, the two major sects were more afraid of being excluded by Chu Yuan.

If this continues for a long time, they will be squeezed out of the core of the martial arts world, and their position as leaders of the righteous Shaolin and Wudang may be lost.

Of course, the reason why Chu Yuan told Fang Zheng and Chongxu about this matter was because Shaolin and Wudang had considerable strength and background, and were qualified to participate in this matter.

In the martial arts world, there are countless masters and sects who have the background of Shaolin and Wudang.

The Five Factions Alliance does not include Shaolin and Wudang. Even if it is finally established, its influence in the martial arts world will ultimately be limited.

“However, Taoist Priest Chu, we, Shaolin and Wudang, have no objection to Qingcheng Sect’s participation in this five-sect alliance. After all, Qingcheng Sect is the initiator. But as for letting Sun Moon Sect participate…, Sun Moon Sect is a demon sect. Although there are some chivalrous people among them, most of them are vicious, bloodthirsty and aggressive…”

Then Master Fang Zheng said again.

Especially her father next to Chu Yuan. When he was the leader of the Demon Cult, he was extremely cruel and bloodthirsty, and caused a bloody storm in the martial arts world.

In comparison, the current leader of the evil cult, Dongfang Bubai, is slightly better.

Although it was rumored that his martial arts was the best in the world, he had never been heard of killing people indiscriminately, and he rarely went down the Black Wood Cliff.

"Master Fang Zheng, are you saying that all the people in the righteous sects are good people, and that all the people in my Divine Sect are evil?"

Ren Yingying sat next to Chu Yuan, feeling unhappy and said with a cold face.

"That's not the case, but the Demon Cult does have some good and bad people."

Master Fang Zheng smiled awkwardly.

"After the Five Sects Alliance is formed, I will discuss with Brother Dongfang and set rules. Disciples of the Five Sects Alliance cannot attack each other at will. The Sun Moon Divine Sect will manage the underworld martial arts world. Fights between underworld martial artists are allowed, but they cannot rob and kill civilians."

Chu Yuan said to Master Fang Zheng.

He had deliberately learned about the underworld and martial arts before.

The so-called underworld martial arts world is a group of green forest bandits, mountain bandits, horse bandits and the like who have practiced martial arts.

This was also true for the underworld master who was previously killed by Chu Yuan and whose body was hung on the cliff.

It's just that these people are very skilled in martial arts and have gained some fame in the martial arts world, so they were given some nicknames that sound powerful by the people in the martial arts world.

The harm caused by these underworld martial arts circles is far worse than that caused by the Sun and Moon Sect.

The Sun-Moon Sect acts cruelly and brutally, and mostly targets the martial arts world, not ordinary people.

Letting the Sun and Moon Sect manage the underworld martial arts world can be said to be making the best use of its resources.

"Master Chu has considered everything."

Master Fang Zheng said with satisfaction after hearing this.

In this way, famous and upright sects like Wudang and Shaolin, together with the Sun and Moon Sect, are all members of the Five Sects Alliance, and others can no longer gossip about them.

"The Sun Moon Divine Sect must be included. If the Five Sects Alliance does not have the Sun Moon Divine Sect, it will simply be an alliance between the righteous sects. It is no different from the previous Five Mountains Sword Sect, except that it is a more powerful Five Mountains Sword Sect."

Chu Yuan then said.

Master Fangzheng and Taoist Chongxu were shocked when they heard this.

Chu Yuan was indeed thoughtful.

indeed!

The Sun and Moon Sect cannot be bypassed, otherwise, the influence of this five-faction alliance will only be able to affect the righteous sects.

"Since you two have no objections, after I return, I will talk to my senior brother and write a letter to Dongfang Bubai, the leader of the Sun Moon Sect. The four sects will agree on a time to publicize this matter together."

Seeing that Taoist Chongxu and Master Fangzheng agreed, Chu Yuan then said.

"Master Yu doesn't know about this yet?"

Taoist Chongxu was stunned.

"To be honest, this was just an idea in my mind. It was very rough at first. After meeting you two and discussing it with you two, it gradually matured. I haven't told anyone before."

Chu Yuan said.

Master Fangzheng and Taoist Chongxu thought about it for a moment, and then felt that this was reasonable.

The Qingcheng Sect has grown to its current size only because of the appearance of Chu Yuan.

Although Chu Yuan is not the leader of Qingcheng Sect, what Chu Yuan says is more effective than what the leader Yu Canghai says.

As long as he doesn't betray his sect and says hello to Yu Canghai, Yu Canghai will definitely not object to what he wants to do.

"Oh, Taoist Priest Chu, just yesterday, Linghu Chong, the young hero, had already learned the Yi Jin Jing and recovered from his injuries. Last night, the monks in our temple had also copied the secret manual of Yi Jin Jing overnight."

As he spoke, Master Fang Zheng waved to the monk standing outside the door.

Suddenly, a Shaolin monk in gray robes came in, holding a square wooden tray in his hand. The thing on the tray was a thread-bound book with a black cover.

There are three words on the cover of the book: "Yi Jin Jing".

The monk walked up to Chu Yuan, bowed and presented the books on the wooden tray to Chu Yuan.

"Yi Jin Jing?"

Chu Yuan picked up the book casually and flipped through a few pages.

I saw that inside was indeed the mnemonics of the "Yi Jin Jing" translated into the regular script of the Ming Dynasty, as well as a map of the meridians and acupoints for practicing exercises.

"You gave it to me right now? I thought Shaolin Temple would find a way to make things difficult for me."

Chu Yuan held the "Yi Jin Jing" in his hand, he looked at Master Fang Zheng and smiled.

"Master Chu, you are joking. Our Shaolin Temple is the leader of the righteous martial arts world. We are trustworthy. How could we do something like this and break our promises?"

Master Fang Zheng's expression froze, and he felt a little guilty when Chu Yuan looked at him, but he remained calm and smiled.

Originally, Shaolin Temple was prepared to make things difficult for Chu Yuan. Even if Shaolin Temple agreed to Chu Yuan and lost the bet, even if Chu Yuan was the world-famous Qingcheng Sword Immortal, known as the number one master of the righteous path, it would not be so easy for him to take the "Yi Jin Jing" from Shaolin Temple.

They even prepared to set up the Shaolin Arhat formation.

Chu Yuan needs to break through the Shaolin Arhat formation before he can get the "Yi Jin Jing".

But who knew that this time Chu Yuan and Linghu Chong would go to Shaolin Temple to recuperate at the same time.

The different treatments have brought shame to Shaolin Temple.

It would be fine if they win, but if they lose, the Shaolin Temple's already limited reputation in the martial arts world would suffer another blow.

So it would be better to be straightforward and hand the "Yi Jin Jing" directly to Chu Yuan. This way, he could gain a reputation as a man of his word in the martial arts world.

Of course, the main reason is...

The five-faction alliance plan proposed by Chu Yuan made Shaolin Temple dare not offend Chu Yuan at all.

It would be totally unworthy if the Shaolin Temple was isolated from the Five Sects Alliance just because of a secret book, and it would have a hard time in the future.

Anyway, the "Yi Jin Jing" has been passed on to outsiders, and in addition to Chu Yuan, Linghu Chong has also learned it.

One more Chu Yuan is not too much, one less Chu Yuan is not too little. "Is there anything wrong with this martial arts formula and the meridian acupoint map?"

Then Chu Yuan asked again.

In a martial arts secret book, a single word difference or a change of an acupoint can make the book completely irrelevant and the content completely different.

If an uninformed person follows the secret manual, at best his martial arts skills will be wasted, at worst he may go insane.

"Absolutely not. Taoist Master Chu can continue to practice. If you encounter any problems, it will be the responsibility of our Shaolin Temple."

Master Fang Zheng guarantees it.

When facing an ordinary person, Shaolin Temple may do this in order to ensure that the "Yi Jin Jing" is not passed on to others.

But facing Chu Yuan, Shaolin Temple would never dare to do this.

After all, he is known as the best master of the righteous sect. His martial arts skills are outstanding, and his understanding of martial arts is beyond the reach of ordinary people. If the Shaolin Temple did something, it would inevitably be discovered by the other party.

"I was just joking, Master Fang Zheng, there's no need to be so nervous."

Seeing Fang Zheng say this, Chu Yuan put away the secret book of "Yi Jin Jing" and said with a smile.

Regardless of whether the Shaolin Temple did anything wrong, he will verify it himself later.

"Now that I have obtained the Yi Jin Jing, and Master Fang Zheng and Taoist Chong Xu have agreed to my proposal, the purpose of my visit to Shaolin Temple has been achieved. We will take our leave now."

Chu Yuan offered to leave.

I have been staying in Shaolin Temple for a few days. In fact, there is nothing good about this temple.

There were only monks everywhere, and an old monk followed him wherever he went, fearing that Chu Yuan had ill intentions towards Shaolin Temple and that he had not yet lived comfortably in Ren Yingying's Green Bamboo Lane.

"Master Chu and Madam, take care. I will see you off."

Hearing that Chu Yuan was leaving, Master Fang Zheng stood up and said.

"The old Taoist will also send you two off."

Taoist Chongxu also said.

Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying went back to the room to get their things. After being escorted out of Shaolin Temple by Taoist Chongxu and Master Fangzheng, they returned to the temple.

Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying left Shaolin Temple together.

As a result, we saw a group of people at the foot of Mount Songshan and Mount Shaoshi.

Chu Yuan looked closely and found that it was the people from the Five Mountains Sect led by Linghu Chong and Ning Zhongze.

Linghu Chong seemed to be explaining something to Yue Lingshan, who looked very unhappy. The little nun Yi Lin was standing next to a burly monk who looked a bit like Lu Zhishen and had a string of Buddhist beads hanging on his chest. She was looking at the monk with a pleading look.

"There's something exciting to watch, Yingying, let's go take a look."

Seeing that there was something exciting to watch and they happened to meet at the foot of the mountain, Chu Yuan was not in a hurry to leave. He pulled Ren Yingying over with him.

"Brother Chu, this disciple of Yue Buqun, the new leader of the Five Mountains Sect, is actually involved with a little nun in addition to his junior sister. He is really a playboy. It's better for me to have Brother Chu, because I only have one."

Ren Yingying took a look and roughly understood what was going on. She exhaled sweetly and whispered in Chu Yuan's ear.

"Let's wait and see."

Chu Yuan said.

As they were talking, Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying had already walked up to the people from the Five Mountains Sect.

"Young Master Linghu, are you all also preparing to leave Shaolin Temple?"

Chu Yuan greeted Linghu Chong, whose injuries had already healed.

"Master Chu..."

Seeing Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying beside him, Linghu Chong looked a little embarrassed.

They were indeed preparing to leave Shaolin Temple, but at the foot of the temple, they met Yilin's father, Monk Bujie, who forced him to marry Yilin. However, he had already married his junior sister Yue Lingshan. Unexpectedly, Chu Yuan saw such an embarrassing moment.

"Looking at Young Master Linghu's appearance, his injuries have recovered."

Chu Yuan said with a smile.

"Who are you, little Taoist? Are you here to meddle in other people's business?"

At this moment, the big monk who was holding Yi Lin said to Chu Yuan with a stern look.

He is Yilin's father, Monk Bujie.

He had finally managed to intercept his daughter and Linghu Chong, and coincidentally all the people from the Five Mountains Sect were here. No matter what, he wanted Linghu Chong to give him an explanation today.

"I am Chu Yuan."

Chu Yuan said in a calm tone.

Chu Yuan came to watch the fun, so he was not angry about the way Monk Bujie addressed him.

"Chu Yuan... where did this little Taoist priest come from..."

Monk Bujie said.

After he said this, he found that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, and his daughter Yi Lin looked even more panicked.

"Dad, this Taoist Priest Chu is the junior brother of the leader of the Qingcheng Sect. He is known as the Qingcheng Sword Immortal in the martial arts world and he saved me before."

Yilin explained quickly.

"Qingcheng Sword Immortal!"

Monk Bujie’s eyes widened instantly.

Isn't that the one who was said to have repelled thousands of underworld martial artists and defeated the righteous martial arts masters a few months ago. Even the leaders of Shaolin, Wudang, Five Mountains, Kunlun and other sects were no match for him, and was ranked number one in the world together with Dongfang Bubai?

Although he thought he had great martial arts skills, he felt that he was not as good as either Master Fangzheng of the Shaolin Temple or Taoist Master Chongxu, the head of the Wudang Sect.

Not to mention, there is Chu Yuan who can join forces to defeat them.

"It turned out to be the Qingcheng Sword Immortal who came to my face. But even if it was the Qingcheng Sword Immortal, he would not be able to meddle in the affairs of my father and me. Today, Linghu Chong and the Five Mountains Sect will not give me an explanation, and no one can leave."

Monk Bujie said in a deep voice.

Then he suddenly attacked Chu Yuan, stomped his right foot on the ground, raised his body on the spot, stepped in the air, passed over the heads of the crowd, leaped nearly ten feet, waved his right fist, and went straight to Chu Yuan's face.

"You want to fight me?"

Chu Yuan was a little surprised.

He didn't expect that this time when he went to Shaolin Temple to get the "Yi Jin Jing" he didn't do anything. Instead, he was just watching the fun when he was going down the mountain, but he was forced to do something.

Chu Yuan didn't think any more and started to fight the enemy.

He had never learned or practiced any martial arts, but he had read the book "Tai Chi Boxing" that Dongfang Bubai gave him as a wedding gift twice.

Chu Yuan recalled the contents of the "Tai Chi Boxing Sutra" and waved his monk's robe in the air. Like a roc, he flew towards Monk Bujie with fierce moves and threw a light punch.

This punch was not only slow, but also had no apparent power, just like a casual punch thrown by an ordinary person.

This was a punch thrown by Chu Yuan based on some martial arts concepts of using softness to overcome hardness in the Tai Chi Boxing Classics.

Although it is not a systematic method, it is enough to deal with a monk who does not obey the rules.

When Monk Bujie saw Chu Yuan's punch, his expression became solemn and his eyes were full of vigilance.

Although this looks like a fist thrown by an ordinary person, light and seemingly powerless, the one in front of him is the Qingcheng Sword Immortal, so how could a punch he throws be ordinary?
puff!
Monk Bujie's condescending punch and Chu Yuan's light punch collided in the air.

Monk Bujie's seemingly powerful punch was like hitting a rag bag, and only made a low and faint muffled sound.

After a moment's stalemate, Monk Bujie only felt an overwhelming force coming from Chu Yuan's fist, which was several times stronger than his own fist force just now, and it knocked him away.

Monk Bujie flew two or three feet in the air before landing on the ground. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, his daughter Yilin was quick to catch him.

"What kind of punch is this?"

There was blood flowing from the corner of Bujie's mouth, and it seemed that he had internal injuries. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his fist and asked Chu Yuan.

"father!"

Yi Lin said anxiously.

"It's okay, I just suffered some minor injuries. The Qingcheng Sword Immortal didn't bother with me and didn't even use his famous "Nine Heavens Gang Qi" and swordsmanship. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been injured so simply."

Monk Bujie comforted Yilin.

"It's not really a boxing technique, just some force techniques I borrowed from him."

Chu Yuan said.

"Among those who have fought with me, you are the best in terms of boxing skills. There was an old boxer named Xia who died in my hands. He was not as good as you."

Chu Yuan felt that Monk Bujie's martial arts and internal strength were probably only slightly inferior to Fangzheng and Chongxu, and he was considered a top master in the martial arts world.

Monk Bujie sighed when he heard this: "That's Master Xia Ji from the Liuhe Sect in Zhengzhou. He is indeed not as good as me in terms of boxing."

Monk Bujie continued, "Now everyone in the martial arts world is saying that the Qingcheng Sword Immortal is the best martial artist in the righteous martial arts world, and is ranked number one in the world along with the Demon Sect leader Dongfang Bubai. I was a little unconvinced at first, but after seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved. In the future, I can brag to others that I have fought against the Qingcheng Sword Immortal."

"Since it is the Qingcheng Sword Immortal who is here, please ask Qingcheng Sword Immortal to be a witness for us, father and daughter."

Monk Bujie changed his expression and spoke in a respectful manner.

"What testimony?"

Chu Yuan wondered.

"My daughter likes Linghu Chong. I want him to marry my daughter, but he is so heartless and ungrateful that he won't agree to marry her no matter what."

Monk Bujie said.
