The martial arts journey begins with The King's Ambition

Chapter 177 Visiting Shaolin
Fighting the sea tide with a wooden sword is naturally difficult to resist at the beginning, but in less than a month, it has been very effective. If you hold a wooden sword and stab it on dry land, there is a faint sound of a tide.Da Diao's iron wings did not dare to touch his wooden sword.

Ouyang Feng practiced his sword in the sea tide day by day, day and night like this, the cold and heat are endless.

As spring and autumn come and go, the sound of the wooden sword's stabbing becomes louder and louder, and then there is a booming sound, which lasts for several months, but the sound of the sword gradually becomes quieter, and finally becomes silent.After practicing for several months, the sound of the sword gradually reappeared. From then on, it became softer, then turned softer, and repeated seven times. Finally, it became softer when it wanted to be softer, and louder when it wanted to be louder. At this time, Ouyang Feng's Nine Yang Divine Art was close to perfection. , Dragon Elephant Prajna Kungfu has also reached the eighth level, reaching the highest level in the world.Doing the math, Ouyang Feng has been away from home for five full years.

In the past five years, Ouyang Feng has focused on practicing martial arts without any distractions. He has neither returned to White Camel Mountain nor cared about Shuangqi Town.

He has a sense of urgency for practicing martial arts, and he feels uneasy if he does not have the ultimate state.

Ever since he came to the world of "Shooting the Condors", Ouyang Feng already had an opponent in his mind, Wang Chongyang.He has been preparing for Huashan Lunjian, not for the "Nine Yin Manual", but for Wang Chongyang.If he couldn't defeat Wang Chongyang in the sword debate on Mount Hua, then he would never have a chance to defeat him.Because not long after Huashan Lunjian, Wang Chongyang died.

Wang Chongyang is the number one in the world confirmed by Jin Yong, even Zhang Sanfeng does not have this kind of treatment, I must cherish this opportunity to fight against him.

Of course, at this time Wang Chongyang was not recognized as number one in the world, but the momentum of Quanzhen Sect was already approaching Shaolin.The influence of this emerging Taoist sect also surpassed that of Longhu Mountain's Tianshi Taoism, and it faintly became the head of Taoism in the world.

However, Ouyang Feng did not stay in the Central Plains, he was not in a hurry to meet the other four masters.Now is not the best time to enter the Central Plains by yourself, it is the first time when Huashan discusses swords.Even in the first Huashan Sword Discussion, only Wang Chongyang had truly reached the peak, and the others were far from enough.

He originally came to the Central Plains only for the Black Iron Sword and the Bodhi Snake, but he didn't expect Dugu Qiubai's practice method to be of such great help to him, so he stayed here for five years.

Ouyang Feng wanted to go home.He is now accompanied by a big eagle, which is not suitable for appearing in places where crowds gather.It would be very reluctant to leave the big eagle alone.He took the big eagle, carried the black iron sword, picked some remote and inaccessible paths, and walked northwest.

When passing by Shaoshi Mountain, standing at the foot of the mountain, Ouyang Feng looked at this secluded ancient temple. The incense was in full swing, and there was an endless stream of people going to worship Buddha. It is worthy of being "the No. 1 temple in the world".

Shaolin Temple's great reputation is not only due to its profound martial arts background, but mainly because they are more down-to-earth and more worldly.Even if they are not from the martial arts world, they are just ordinary people who know the greatness of Shaolin Temple.And foreign religions like Buddhism can have a huge influence in this land because they can take root in the masses.

Taoism, a local religion, is much worse. Belief in Taoism requires a certain level of education, and alchemy requires strong economic strength.This is not as good as Buddhism in the ancient times where most of the illiterate people were illiterate.In Buddhism, as long as you can say "Amitabha Buddha" sincerely, it is enough, so it is said that the door of Buddhism is vast, and there is no one who cannot be saved.

There are many people worshiping Buddha, and not all of them come to learn martial arts from the martial arts.

Ouyang Feng didn't send down the greeting card, he came here as a fellow martial artist in his previous life, but this time he was just an ordinary tourist.

You must know that in the stories of "Shooting the Condors" and "Shen Condor", there is no trace of Shaolin, and there are no Shaolin people involved in the several Huashan sword discussions.But in "Tianlong" and "Yitian", Shaolin is truly the number one school in the world.And the plot of "Shooting the Condor" should start more than ten years later. At that time, the Quanzhen Sect was the most respected in the martial arts.

As soon as Ouyang Feng led the big eagle to appear, the Zhike monk abandoned the others and came to receive Ouyang Feng.

He clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, the benefactor is polite, but the benefactor wants to offer incense?"

Ouyang Feng looked at this Zhike monk, he was in his 30s, his steps were frivolous, he didn't look like he knew martial arts, but he was very winky, among the many pilgrims, he stood out with a big eagle, he could come decisively Reception yourself, service minded is definitely ok.

The Zhike monk received the pilgrims who came, his eyes were like a torch, he could tell at a glance who was an ordinary person and who was a member of the martial arts.What's more, Ouyang Feng had a great eagle beside him, as long as he was not blind, he would have guessed that this person had an extraordinary background.

This Zhike monk does not know martial arts, he is equivalent to the front hall attendant of Shaolin Temple.Shaolin Temple has always attached great importance to these pilgrims, and will never neglect them. It can be seen that they can be listed in future generations.

The monks would not come into contact with these people, they would hide in the inner courtyard of the back mountain to practice martial arts all day long, unless someone from the martial arts forest came to challenge them.

Ouyang Feng nodded and said, "Exactly."

Seeing a different Shaolin Temple this time, I felt the strong atmosphere of corporate packaging here as an ordinary pilgrim. Other sects in the Jianghu absolutely do not have this awareness. From the current point of view, it is very high.

The Zhike monk leaned sideways and said, "Let the little monk lead the way for the benefactor."

Ouyang Feng followed behind him, passed other pilgrims, and came to the main hall. It felt like walking through the VIP passage.

He is not a Buddhist, nor does he believe in Buddhism. He only regards this place as a tourist attraction, and he is a tourist himself.

He also visited temples in modern times. He only bought tickets and never spent money on burning incense.But at that time, he was just a dick, and no one paid attention to him when he entered the temple, and he went around by himself.But now, it is unreasonable to be treated as a VIP as soon as you enter the door without any blood.

Ouyang Feng took out a 2000 tael silver note and took a stick of incense, no matter if he was sincere or not, he would always put on a show, if he said he didn't believe in Buddhism at this time, it would be a slap in the face.

Ouyang Feng bowed pretendingly and stood up.Shen Diao looked around sharply, with a haughty expression.

At this time, several monks appeared in the main hall. The leader was a monk in his 50s, wearing a red checked cassock, bald and without a monk's hat.

Monks in this era did not have ring scars, and the custom of burning ring scars originated in the Yuan Dynasty.The Yuan Dynasty respected Buddhism. There was a Zhide monk in the Yuan Dynasty. When passing on precepts, he stipulated that each precept should burn incense on the top. The number is different, which means that the precepts received are also different. The most twelve points represent the highest precept "Bodhisattva Precepts" .

The old monk put his palms together to Ouyang Feng and said: "Amitabha, old monk Kuhui, may the benefactor come to Shaolin for other things besides offering incense?"

Ouyang Feng clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Master, you are polite. Although I am a member of the martial arts, I did not come to Shaolin to provoke. Shaolin has always been the Taishan Beidou in the martial arts, and I have no disrespect."

Zen Master Ku Hui felt relieved after listening to his polite words.Ouyang Feng's appearance is really good, but Shaolin will not pay more attention to a person just because he looks like a master. There are many people who are more outstanding than him. The main reason is that the divine sculpture behind him is too eye-catching. This added a lot of weight to Ouyang Feng's worth, making people believe that he is a strange man.Although Shaolin is not afraid of anyone's door-to-door challenge, it has to be taken seriously.

Zen Master Ku Hui said: "The benefactor is too polite. I don't know the name of the benefactor Gao?"

Ouyang Feng said: "My next Ouyang Feng is from White Camel Mountain in the Western Region."

Zen Master Ku Hui was startled. Of course, White Camel Mountain has no reputation in the eyes of ordinary people in the Central Plains. It is far from Shaolin, but in his eyes it is completely different.

The White Camel Villa is powerful in the Western Regions, and the owner of the villa, Ouyang Chi, has outstanding martial arts skills. Although he seldom comes to the Central Plains, all the upper-level Central Plains martial arts people know how powerful he is.

Zen Master Ku Hui asked, "What are the names of the benefactor and the owner of Ouyang Village?"

Ouyang Feng said: "It's my father."

Chan Master Ku Hui said, "It turns out to be the owner of Shaozhuang."

Ouyang Feng smiled and said, "I'm not some young master, the young master is my elder brother, and the future master is also my elder brother."

Chan Master Ku Hui said, "That is also the owner of Shaozhuang."

Ouyang Feng said: "Master, you don't have to be polite. I came too abruptly and disturbed Master Qingxiu."

He knew that the divine sculpture he brought must be too special, and the Shaolin senior management was afraid that he had ulterior motives, so he sent an eminent monk to test him.

Zen Master Ku Hui said: "Young Village Master is not far away, so he is different from other pilgrims. Please follow the old monk's backyard to talk."

To be honest, Ouyang Feng's status was not enough to make Zen Master Ku Hui so polite. Even if the elder brother Ouyang Jian came, he couldn't sit on an equal footing with him, and Ouyang Chisel was about the same.

The main reason is that Shaolin's reaction was a little sensitive just now, and he was afraid that Ouyang Feng was here to find trouble.Now that I know his identity, it's not good to just let him go and let other monks receive him, that would be too impolite, even if Ouyang Feng's identity is not taken into account, then Shaolin Temple's face must be considered.Shaolin is very particular about maintaining its own face.

Thanks to the rarity of divine sculptures, Ouyang Feng made Shaolin pay more attention to himself, so he happily followed Zen Master Kuhui to the back mountain.This is not a place that ordinary pilgrims can reach. The outsiders who come here are all from the martial arts.

Ouyang Feng's Buddhist knowledge is also extremely profound, he casually chatted with Chan Master Ku Hui, which surprised Chan Master Ku Hui.He himself is proficient in Dharma, but he has to concentrate on practicing martial arts, so Dharma cannot reach the highest level.After chatting for a few words, I found that Ouyang Feng's Buddhism seems to be not inferior to his own.He only knew that Ouyang Feng had a good impression of Buddhism, but he didn't know that Ouyang Feng had lived for a long time and had a close relationship with Tantra.

Zen Master Ku Hui said: "It's just a coincidence that the owner of Shaozhuang came. In a few days, there will be the annual Bodhidharma Hall in the temple. The abbot and the head of the Bodhidharma hall will test the martial arts of the disciples with the old monk, and the head of the Bodhidharma hall will judge. When the time comes, how about asking the young master to comment together?"
