Chapter 160: The resurrection of Bodhidharma Zhang Sanfeng is just like this!

The banquet lasted until late at night.

After the event, Shangqing Temple arranged rooms for everyone to rest.

No words were spoken that night, and I woke up the next day.

The sun rises, the morning dew has not yet dried, and the mist that has condensed at some point is gradually dissipating under the golden morning light.

As soon as everyone finished washing up, they were led by a young man to the flower hall where they had had breakfast yesterday.

After the banquet last night, the messy table had been swept away, and replaced by a few bowls of vegetarian porridge, vegetarian dishes and some crackers.

Taoist Tianxu and Taoist Chongxu had already been waiting here to entertain Chu Yuan and others.

"Everyone, Shangqing Temple is a Taoist sect. Except for entertaining distinguished guests, the food is usually light. Please don't be disgusted."

Taoist Tianxu smiled and asked everyone to take a seat.

Chu Yuan and the others sat down one after another...

Chu Yuan brought a bowl of vegetarian porridge and chatted with Taoist Tianxu while drinking it: "Master Chongxu, what are you talking about? The vegetarian porridge in the Taoist temple is quite delicious."

Shi Qing was drinking porridge when he suddenly looked up at Shi Potian and said, "Jian'er, what are your plans next? Come back to Xuansu Manor with us?"

Min Rou also said: "Yes, Jian'er, since you are our son, you have your own family and don't have to wander around the world anymore."

"Master Shi... Master Shi, Madam Shi, it is not confirmed yet that I am your son, so I'd better not go to Xuansu Manor."

Shi Potian refused while drinking his porridge with his mouth full of meat-filled biscuits.

Although he was very happy that Brother Chu helped him find his parents, he was more afraid that this was a misunderstanding and that he would be too happy for nothing.

Moreover, in this situation, he didn't know how to address Shi Qing and his wife. He could just call them dad and mom since their backgrounds had not been fully confirmed yet.

Calling them Master Shi Manor and Madam Shi would feel a bit strange. After hesitating for a moment, Shi Potian finally called Shi Qing and his wife Master Shi Manor and Madam Shi.

"After Boss Chu's analysis, I think back carefully and realize that there are indeed many suspicious points about what happened back then. You and Yu'er look exactly the same, so it is most likely that you are our other child, Jian'er..."

Min Rou said with gentle eyes.

In her heart, she already regarded Shi Potian as another child of her own.

"I naturally believe in Brother Chu, but my background is not completely certain after all. It's not a good idea to go back to Xuansu Manor now."

The stone breaks the sky.

Shi Qing thought for a moment and said, "That's right. Let's investigate your background before we take you back to Xuansu Manor."

Shi Potian finished the two bowls of porridge on the table, looked at Taoist Tianxu who was sitting not far away and said: "Uncle Tianxu, if you don't want to go to the banquet on Xiake Island, just give me the bronze medal. Anyway, I have to go to the banquet on Xiake Island for the Changle Gang. As Brother Chu said, it doesn't matter if I have one more bronze medal or one less."

Upon hearing this, Taoist Tianxu's expression immediately changed from sunny to cloudy: "I am still the head of Shangqing Temple. It is not your turn as a junior to take risks for Shangqing Temple."

Dog brother shrugged his shoulders: "That's just what I said. If you don't want to, then forget it."

Chu Yuan, who had just put down his bowl and chopsticks after eating and drinking his fill, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene.

According to the rules of Xiake Island, a leader cannot accept two orders to reward good and punish evil.

The reason why he was able to take two.

It was because he defeated the two envoys of rewarding the good and punishing the evil on the snowy mountain that the two envoys had no choice but to make an exception.

But if it was Brother Gou, that might not be the case.

Because the two envoys who reward the good and punish the evil still became brothers with Dog Brother even though they knew his identity, this shows that there must be something about Dog Brother that makes them admire him.

So if Gou Ge takes one more token, maybe he can actually get the two envoys of rewarding the good and punishing the evil to make an exception for him.

"Brother Taixu, I think you are the backbone of Shangqing Temple. If you go to the Xiake Island for the banquet, Shangqing Temple will be leaderless in the future. Otherwise, I will take over this token and let you go to the Xiake Island for the banquet."

Shi Qing thought for a moment and said.

He discussed this with his wife Min Rou all night last night. Although Senior Brother Chongxu’s martial arts skills were decent, his temperament was a bit rash.

If he succeeds to the position of the head of Shangqing Temple, the future of Shangqing Temple will be worrying.

"Junior brother, what are you talking about? Do you think I am not qualified to take over the position of the head of Shangqing Temple?"

Hearing Shi Qing's words, Taoist Chongxu, who had just finished a bowl of porridge, threw the porcelain bowl in his hand on the table, making a noise.

"Brother Chongxu, your martial arts skills are not much weaker than Brother Taixu's, but as the head of a sect, you need not only martial arts skills, but also the ability to weigh the pros and cons and the vision for the development of the sect. Being too straightforward and impulsive is not acceptable."

Shi Qing told the truth.

"Junior Brother Shi Qing, Junior Sister Min Rou, you two are lay disciples and already have a family business, so you should stay out of this matter."

Taoist Tianxu said at this time.

He knew the reason very well!
But among the older generation of masters in Shangqing Temple today, apart from him, Chongxu is probably the only one who can hold up the temple.

Putting aside whether the other people's personalities are suitable, just the martial arts skills alone are not enough to convince others if they want to inherit the position of the headmaster.

"Master Shi, Madam Shi, do you want the token? If you do, I can help you get it."

Shi Potian interrupted.

He felt that the Shi Qing couple were very good to him, and that they might also be his parents. Since it was something that the Shi Qing couple wanted, he would help them get it.

"You are such an ignorant boy, why are you butting in on your elders when they are talking?"

Taoist Chongxu was so angry that his face turned blue and he scolded Shi Potian.

Shi Potian is the son of Shi Qing and Min Rou, so according to seniority he should call them uncle.

Shi Qing and his wife are better at martial arts than him. They are worried about the safety and future of the leader and Shangqing Temple. He can't say anything, but it is not Shi Potian's turn to comment on this matter.

Moreover, the other party was extremely rebellious and wanted to snatch the order to reward the good and punish the evil from the hands of the sect leader, Senior Brother Tianxu.

Shi Potian's sudden interruption caught Shi Qing and Min Rou off guard.

Shi Qing immediately smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Two senior brothers, the child is still young and doesn't understand much. He was just joking. Don't take it seriously..."

At this time, Shi Potian looked at Tianxu and Chongxu and said seriously, "How about I compete with you two in martial arts? If you lose, you can give the bronze medal to Manor Master Shi and Madam Shi."

Shi Potian's words made Tianxu and Chongxu look a little ugly.

Min Rou felt warm in her heart when she heard Shi Potian's words, but she also knew that Shi Potian's words were disrespectful.

She pretended to be angry and scolded Shi Potian: "Jian'er, you can't be disrespectful to your elders. Hurry up and apologize to the two uncles."

Taoist Chongxu still had some anger on his face. "You don't need to apologize, Junior Brother Shiqing, Junior Sister Minrou, since my nephew has said that he wants to fight with us and get the reward and punishment order for you, if we don't fight, it will make us at Shangqing Temple look like we are afraid of fighting. Why don't I teach you some tricks?"

Shi Qing wanted to keep things quiet, so he said, "Senior Brother Chongxu..."

Taoist Tianxu said, "Brother Shiqing, since Brother Chongxu has brought it up, let's let the two of them compete. Just now, he hid behind the plaque, but none of us present except Boss Chu noticed him. There must be a reason. In addition, he was appreciated by the two envoys who reward the good and punish the evil, and became sworn brothers with them. No matter which of these things, it shows that my nephew is not simple."

"That's it!"

Seeing that both senior brothers said so, Shi Qing and Min Rou could only sigh and choose to agree.

The flower room was too small to accommodate the guests, so everyone moved to the courtyard.

Atrium courtyard!

It is a small courtyard about four meters long and wide.

A cluster of green bamboos was planted in the northwest corner of the courtyard.

Under the green bamboo, there is a set of stone tables and chairs.

"Everyone, this competition is just for sparring. Senior Brother Chongxu, Jian'er is a junior, I hope you will show mercy."

Before the competition, Shi Qing took the lead and walked between Shi Potian and Chongxu.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother Shi, I will show mercy."

Taoist Chongxu said.

"Master Shi, I will also show mercy and try not to hurt Uncle Chongxu."

The stone breaks the sky.

"You... I don't need a junior like you to show mercy."

Shi Potian's words made Taoist Chongxu's expression change, and he snorted coldly.

"Look at the sword!"

When Shi Qing walked to the edge of the yard, Taoist Chongxu immediately drew his sword, leaped nearly a foot into the air, and slashed at Shi Potian with the sword in hand.

The sharp sword energy swept across, quickly spreading in front of Shi Potian and slashed down.

Shi Potian didn't care. He bent his legs slightly, stood in place, and circulated his internal energy throughout his body. A powerful internal energy instantly filled his body.

Then Shi Potian used his right fist to strike back at the sword energy that was slashed out by Taoist Chongxu.

boom!
The sword energy slashed out by Taoist Chongxu was broken by Shi Potian's fist wind, and several green bamboos were cut off by the aftermath of the sword energy and fell to the ground.

In the courtyard, bamboo leaves were flying all over the place!

Seeing this scene, Taoist Chongxu's expression changed, but he had already closed the distance between him and Shi Potian, so he continued to attack...

In the blink of an eye, the two had already exchanged more than ten moves.

The battlefield of their battle kept changing, from the center of the yard to the stone table and stone chairs. Taoist Chongxu had an idea. He swung the sword in his hand and knocked the four stone benches in the yard beside him away with his internal force, and they fell one after another towards Shi Potian not far away.

He hid himself behind these stone benches and performed a killer move from the Shangqing Temple sword technique called "Worship the Golden Summit".

This sword technique is a killing move from the Shangqing Temple's "Golden Spirit Sword Technique", which is only for attack and not for defense.

The sword light broke through the air, the sword light was dazzling, Taoist Chongxiao flew into the air, followed these stone benches, and stabbed towards Shi Potian.

Shi Potian was not in a hurry. He changed his fist into a palm, took a few steps forward, and at the same time as the four stone benches were smashing down at him, he struck the stone benches with both palms.

Then the stone bench that was originally falling towards Shi Potian returned along the same path, carrying an even more terrifying force than before, and flew back faster and faster than before.

Shi Potian did the same thing and smashed all four stone benches towards Taoist Chongxu.

Taoist Chongxu's expression changed. It was too late to dodge, so he could only use his sword skills to block the blow. However, the moment he blocked the first stone bench, he felt that what was touching his sword was not a stone bench, but a small mountain.

His palms immediately cracked and the long sword in his hand flew out of his hand, flew two meters away, and pierced into the blue brick wall next to him, penetrating nearly half of it.

The stone bench continued to move forward and hit him on the chest.

Click!

There was a crisp sound.

I don't know how many of his sternum were broken.

He also flew up from his original position, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

There were three more stone benches flying towards him from behind with the same force...

"My life is over!"

When Taoist Chongxu saw the three stone benches flying towards him and about to fall on him, a trace of despair flashed in his eyes.

He was seriously injured after blocking a stone bench.

Not to mention blocking the remaining three stone benches.

The outcome of the battle in the courtyard was so unexpected that no one could react.

"stop!"

Shi Qing, Min Rou and Taoist Tianxu only had time to scream in surprise but were too late to offer any rescue.

Just when Taoist Chongxu thought he was going to die, Shi Potian dodged and caught up with the three stone benches.

He waved his palms, and with the shadow of his palms, he caught all three stone benches one by one and threw them to the ground before they hit Taoist Chongxu.

"Uncle Chongxu, you lose!"

After taking the three stone benches, Shi Potian smiled at Taoist Chongxu.

"Jian'er, why do you have such a profound inner strength?"

As soon as the battle between the two sides ended, Shi Qing walked up and asked Shi Potiandao.

They all saw that the reason why Shi Potian had defeated Taoist Chongxu just now was entirely because of his extremely profound internal strength.

"Brother Chu taught me a martial art called Yi Jin Jing before. I have been practicing it all these years. Last time, I drank the precious medicinal wine from my two sworn brothers. After refining the medicinal properties of the wine, my yin and yang intertwined, ice and fire merged, and my internal strength increased greatly. That's why I developed this internal strength."

Shi Potian explained to Shi Qing.

"Yi Jin Jing? Could it be the legendary secret of Shaolin Temple, Yi Jin Jing created by Bodhidharma, the sect's magical skill?"

Shi Qing said with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The "Yi Jin Jing" only exists in legends and no one has ever seen it. It is estimated that the Shaolin Temple is the only temple in the world that has inherited the "Yi Jin Jing".

He didn't expect that his son's brother Chu was so good to him and even taught him the magical skill "Yi Jin Jing"!
I just don't know where he got this "Yi Jin Jing" from!
"probably."

Dog brother said in an uncertain tone.

"So it's the Yi Jin Jing. No wonder you have developed such a strong internal force at such a young age. If you are defeated by the Yi Jin Jing, I will be convinced."

After Taoist Chongxu landed, he stood up with difficulty, blood still flowing from the corner of his mouth, and laughed.

Chu Yuan: ...

he thinks!
This Taoist Chongxu is just making excuses for himself.

In fact, in the original plot, even if Brother Gou did not practice the "Yi Jin Jing" but practiced the "Arhat Subduing Demons Magic Art", Chongxu and the others were still no match for Brother Gou.

"However, Brother Gou's internal force is much stronger than in the original plot. In the original plot, Brother Gou used the poison gas of the Ice and Fire Poison Palm to hurt people, but now he completely crushed and defeated Taoist Chongxu with his internal force. Maybe it's because he practiced the Yi Jin Jing?"

Chu Yuan analyzed in his mind.

Originally, Dog Brother only found a set of "Arhat Subduing Demons Magical Skills" from the clay figurine of Old Man Dabei. Even after being tricked by Xie Yanke and taught him to practice in reverse, he was still able to develop ice and fire internal strength and poison palm.

The "Arhat Subduing Demons Magical Skill" is actually just one of the 72 unique skills of Shaolin Temple.

As the Shaolin Temple's secret and the sect's magical skill, the Yi Jin Jing is much stronger than the Arhat Subduing Demons Magic Skill in terms of power and other aspects.

"I've heard that Boss Chu inherited martial arts from a senior. This Yi Jin Jing should be one of the martial arts inherited from that senior. Since he was able to pass on Yi Jin Jing to this old Taoist nephew, it seems that Boss Chu's own martial arts are also extraordinary. No wonder even the two messengers of rewarding good and punishing evil are no match for Boss Chu!"

Tianxu Tao is the way of mankind.

"Uncle Tianxu, I have shown mercy in the competition with Uncle Chongxu just now. This token..."

Seeing that he had won, Shi Potian looked at Taoist Tianxu.

"Although your uncle lost to you in the competition, I cannot give you this token."

Taoist Tianxu refused the Tao.

Although he had agreed to let Chongxu and Shi Potian compete before, he did not promise to give the token to Shi Potian if he won.

"Master Tianxu, I, your little brother, have offered to help Master Shi and Madam Shi seize the token because they are worried about the safety of Shangqing Temple. For the sake of your filial piety, let's fight for three moves. If Master Tianxu loses within three moves, you can give the token to your little brother and let him go. If Master Tianxu wins within three moves, or if the winner can't be determined, let's just forget about it and no one will mention it. How about that?"

Chu Yuan suggested.

It was not a good idea to keep dwelling on this matter, so Chu Yuan thought about resolving it himself.

"Three moves?"

Sect Leader Tianxu was stunned.

Compared to his nephew who was unknown in the martial arts world, the reputation of "Cloud Dragon Sword God" Chu Yuan was well-known in the martial arts world.
He and the other two leaders of the Yunlong Gang founded the Yunlong Gang from scratch.

Not to mention the younger generation, even the older generation of masters were not infrequently killed by him.

Some even say that this Chu Gang Leader is already one of the top three masters in the world.

The only ones who can rival him in the world are probably Motian Hermit on Motian Cliff and Bai Zizai, the leader of the Snow Mountain Sect.

"Boss Chu is a world-renowned martial arts expert, but I, the head of Shangqing Temple, am no unknown person either. I don't believe that I can't even take three moves from Boss Chu!"

Sect Leader Tianxu immediately said in a deep voice.

"In that case, please come, Sect Leader Tianxu."

Chu Yuan said.

Now in the whole world, except for the Island of Heroes, Chu Yuan believes that no one can match him.

Even Xie Yanke, who was well-known in the martial arts world, had already lost to him in the previous competition.

Although Bai Zizai had never met or fought with Xie Yanke, Bai Zizai's martial arts skills were on par with Xie Yanke's.

If Taoist Tianxu could fight him for three moves without being defeated, he would be considered a rare master in the world.

"please!"

Taoist Tianxu asked someone to fetch his sword, walked into the courtyard, and bowed to Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan raised the bamboo stick in his hand and said, "I have always used a bamboo stick instead of a sword. Sect Leader Tianxu is older, so let Sect Leader Tianxu use the sword first!"

Taoist Tianxu was holding a grudge in his heart and said nothing more. He drew his sword from its sheath and used the "One Qi Transforms into Three Purities" move from the Shangqing Temple's "White Lotus Sword Technique" to stab out three sword shadows towards Chu Yuan.

At the moment when Taoist Tianxu made his move, everyone saw that the bamboo stick in Chu Yuan's hand also moved. Although Chu Yuan moved later, the speed of the bamboo stick in his hand was much faster than that of Taoist Tianxu.

A moment later, Chu Yuan was already standing in front of Taoist Tianxu, with the bamboo stick in his hand pointing at Taoist Tianxu's heart, with one end of the bamboo stick only an inch away from his chest.

Taoist Tianxu's face changed and he felt dissatisfied.

He changed his moves again, using the "Downstream" move from the "Golden Spirit Sword Technique" to attack Chu Yuan's Juhai Point, but he still failed to pierce it.

Because during his attack, Chu Yuan once again used the bamboo stick in his hand to press on his vital Tanzhong point. Chu Yuan only needed to use a little force to seriously injure him.

It was obvious that he always made the first move and Chu Yuan responded later, but Chu Yuan was always able to anticipate the enemy's moves.

After trying several times, Taoist Tianxu went from being skeptical at first to being somewhat skeptical about life.

Finally, Taoist Tianxu gave up, put down his sword, clasped his fists and admitted defeat: "Boss Chu's swordsmanship is amazing, I am not as good as you, I lose this competition!"

Not only was he no match for Chu Yuan who could defeat him with three moves, if the competition just now was not an illusion, he suspected that he could not defeat Chu Yuan with just one move.

It was he who drew his sword just now. If it was Chu Yuan who drew his sword, he felt that he would not be able to take even one strike from Chu Yuan.

Taoist Tianxu asked in admiration: "What kind of swordsmanship did Gang Leader Chu use just now?"

Chu Yuan put away his staff and stood up and said, "Quick sword."

In the past, he created the "Tiandun Sword Technique".

There are only three moves in total, namely fast sword, hard sword and soft sword.

And ever since his swordsmanship entered the "swordless" realm, his understanding of the fast sword can be said to have reached the pinnacle.

If he wanted to defeat Taoist Tianxu, he only needed one sword.

Taoist Tianxu looked at Chu Yuan and said with emotion: "Although Boss Chu is still young, his martial arts and swordsmanship are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like us. I feel that even Xie Yanke and Bai Zizai are no match for Boss Chu. Excluding the Chivalrous Island located overseas, Boss Chu is the best martial artist in the Central Plains."

It's not like he had never seen a master before. He had even met and fought with masters like Xie Yanke and Bai Zizai.

But the likes of Bai Zizai and Xie Yanke did not put as much pressure on him as Chu Yuan.

He could understand the martial arts of masters like Bai Zizai and Xie Yanke and see clearly the gap between him and them.

But when facing Chu Yuan, he couldn't see clearly the gap between his martial arts and swordsmanship and Chu Yuan's.

This feeling is like a mortal meeting a god.

More importantly, Chu Yuan is still very young, only eighteen years old this year, unlike Xie Yanke and Bai Zi who are already old enough to know their destiny.

At the age of eighteen, he had already achieved such success in martial arts and swordsmanship. Who knows where he will go when he reaches their age?
In his opinion, even if Bodhidharma or Zhang Sanfeng were resurrected, they would be no more than this, right?

"Forget it. I'll give this thing to my nephew. If he is willing to attend the banquet on my behalf, let him go."

As he spoke, Taoist Tianxu took out his bronze medal from his shirt and threw it to Shi Potian.
