Chapter 43, Horses on the Shaolin Temple
For this era, innate one is only an illusory legend, and the few records in ancient books are too pale and really lack persuasiveness.
The more unknown things are, the more human beings desire to understand them.
Innate powerhouses, even Shu Han, who are extremely powerful in the world, are surprised when they are afraid. Needless to say, other martial arts practitioners are, many of them will never be able to get into that level in their lives, but it may be their lifelong pursuit.
When the news that Yan Nantian became the first innate in the world came out of Shaolin, the entire martial arts world was shaken. Countless people gathered at Shaolin Temple with the purpose of exploration, hoping to learn about the mystery of the innate from the pioneer Yan Nantian.
Shaolin Temple obviously gained great benefits in this.
In just one month, more than 30,000 martial arts people gathered in Songshan, and some places farther away were still coming.
After twenty years of being closed, the martial arts world has been turned upside down. Shaolin, the former leader of the martial arts world, has long been forgotten. Now that he has been born again, he has gathered all the eyes of the world, even if the purpose of these people is Yan Nantian.
As for the grudges between the Tianzhen Martial Palace in Yannan, it is actually not known to the world. On the night at Mount Emei, most of the people who knew about their entanglement had been dealt with by Shu Han, and no more than three people who knew the details were left.
Therefore, these martial arts talents dared to go to Shaolin Temple without any scruples.
Some famous martial arts masters have been politely received by Shaolin Temple and settled in the temple. Most of the second and third-rate people are left. The young monks of Shaolin Temple politely informed that there is no empty Zen room supply.
Therefore, the foot of Songshan Mountain is now crowded, and even though the inns are rising again and again, the guest rooms are still in short supply. However, an inn run by a secret spy from Jinyiwei closed early and no guest accepted it.
At the second floor of the inn, a beautiful man was wearing men's clothes and glanced at the martial arts people who were wandering with weapons on the street downstairs.
Although they are in a completely different world from ordinary civilians, they are at this moment peaceful and harmonious, and the people do not have obvious fear of these people. Because anyone who wants to cross the line must consider whether they can afford to provoke the "condemnants".
"Commander, the spy who sneaked into Shaolin Temple has heard news that the hero Lu Zhongyuan of the South Heaven has entered Shaolin." A man in purple robe lowered his head and said softly.
Xihe listened to his subordinates' routine report, without any reaction. It seemed that he had already spread to the world twenty years ago, and now his martial arts skills are not under the true teachings of the Saint Lord of Zhenwu Palace, and the hero Nantian, who is not worthy of her attention at all.
Although this is true, there was only one target for her trip. Yan Nantian thought of this name, a wild and fierce light flashed in her eyes. No one except this innate strong man who even her master mentioned in the letter could arouse her interest.
Xihe and the "Condemnator" have been here for three days. They did not choose to go to Shaolin immediately. Instead, they hid for the time being and watched the martial arts figures entering Shaolin one by one, and the result was really interesting.
Not only those warriors who came to explore the truth with their longing for the innate way, except for Yan Nantian’s old friends, even those who are the true masters of the Zhenwu Palace, sent their confidants to come, but they all concealed their identities and were extremely low-key.
Because they have some rumors about their relationship with Zhenwu Palace.
Shu Han has been looking for Yan Nantian, and it is no secret.
"The commander, the things sent by the General Hall have arrived."
Another man in purple robe walked to Xihe, and a sharp voice sounded, and at the same time, he presented a stack of picture albums to Xihe.
Xihe reached out to take it, looked over for a few glances, and there were lists of wanted lists of Zhenwu Palace. A heart-shaking arc appeared on the corner of her mouth, and a cold and ethereal voice chuckled: "Since that's the case, then do things according to the rules."
At the foot of Mount Emei, Ji Wushang conquered the instrumental people of the major forces, after receiving his orders to return to their respective forces to lurk, not all of them were smooth sailing. At least the journey of Shaolin Temple was completely over.
The tool man from Shaolin Temple obtained the century-old skill instilled by Ji Wushang out of thin air, but after returning to Shaolin Temple, he was exposed for some reason. After that, there was a big battle in Shaolin Temple, and the tool man was completely speechless.
Shaolin Temple has consumed all its vitality so far and has been blocked for twenty years since then.
However, Ji Wushang did not continue to beat the dogs in the water and eliminate them. Instead, he did not have to take care of Shaolin Temple anymore, but just secretly monitored them.
So, when a "pest" with a very famous reputation was chased by "condemnator", he fell seriously injured and died outside Shaolin Temple. He was rescued by Shaolin Temple and converted to Buddhism. The "condemnator" followed Ji Wushang's order to "ignor" Shaolin Temple and stopped chasing.
This situation was soon discovered by some people who are interested.
Under the intentional or unintentional indulgence of Zhenwu Palace, these sinners who violated the rules of Zhenwu Palace faced the pursuit of the "condemnators", but had nowhere to escape in the world. Finally, they discovered that Shaolin Temple was their only refuge.
So, some pests that escaped the "condemnators" by chance escaped and fled to Shaolin Temple with all their might, which was their only place in the world.
Shaolin Temple, which had been exhausted from its vitality back then, has accepted so many such people over the past 20 years. Now that the mountain gate is opened, in addition to Yan Nantian as the backrest, there is also the reason why the disciples are prosperous again.
As for who these people were, Shaolin Temple doesn’t care.
Whether it is a sinner or a wicked person, they are now Buddhist disciples who have put down their butcher knife, worship Buddha sincerely, and are purified by the Buddha's light, and are washed away from their sins.
Shaolin Temple, this former martial arts holy land, has long become another evil valley, the difference is that it has been modified by Buddhist doctrines.
Xihe held the wanted list and a stern smile on his lips: "Shaolin Temple covers up the criminals, and his crimes should be punished. Send a signal, convene people, go up the mountain, and catch people."
...
On the back mountain of Shaolin Temple, two tall figures walked side by side.
"Brother Yan, there has been no news for twenty years. I have never thought that you have reached the legendary innate realm when you meet again. It is a joy to congratulate you."
Lu Zhongyuan, who was thin and straight as a sword, looked at the breath as if nothing had happened, as if he was an ordinary person. Yan Nantian sighed and said, "It is hard to see the depth."
"However, you suddenly disappeared twenty years ago. What happened? I have spent a lot of effort looking for you over the years, but I have no clues."
Compared to twenty years ago, Yan Nantian's appearance changed a lot, with black and white spots mixed with hair, endless vicissitudes in his eyes, and his figure was no longer as tall and strange as before, but he recovered to the same level as ordinary people.
In terms of the biggest change, it is that he is clearly in his fifties, but he looks like he is in his thirties. Although he is not handsome, he has a different charm.
"The water involved in this is extremely deep, and I can't tell you yet."
Yan Nantian smiled faintly and shook his head gently. Over the past twenty years, he has not only greatly improved his martial arts, but also changed his mood greatly. He has less stubbornness and integrity as he once was, and he has a calm and quiet demeanor as a grand master.
Lu Zhongyuan frowned, but did not ask any more questions. Instead, he said: "But Brother Yan was happy to advance to the innate world, but he was widely promoted by Shaolin Temple, which almost clearly pushed you to the forefront. His mind was not pure."
In his opinion, the martial arts world is almost under the control of Zhenwu Palace. Yan Nantian emerged from the innate realm, and Zhenwu Palace is absolutely impossible to ignore it.
Yan Nantian could see clearly and sighed: "Humanity, morality, do something, gain something. I was seriously injured and dying, and was rescued by Shaolin Temple. Later, my brothers and family entrusted them with protection for twenty years. Now it is time to repay."
If it were the paranoid Yan Nantian twenty years ago, it would definitely not be so easy to think through. Even if he figured it out, it would be difficult to be calm. Lu Zhongyuan naturally saw this change, and he could understand the great changes of the other party more and more.
"Uncle! Uncle Lu!" A slacking voice sounded behind the two of them: "I guessed that you would hide here."
Yan Nantian and Lu Zhongyuan turned their heads and saw two young men in their early twenties and extremely handsome appearance coming, and couldn't help but smile.
One of these two men was wearing white shirts, with a gentle smile on their lips, like jade, like a banished immortal. The other seemed a little unruly, with the light in their eyes flashing all the time, as if they were thinking countlessly, and they were obviously a headache.
The butterfly effect, Ji Wushang's existence has indeed affected many things, such as the tragedy between Jiang Feng and Hua Yuenu did not take place, and the twin brothers in their wombs did not separate, and they grew up and faced each other with life and death.
Perhaps it was a coincidence that these two children, one named Jiang Wuque and the other was Jiang Wuyou. Without the fish that escaped the net, there would be no small fish.
"The abbot asked me to tell my uncle that those irrelevant people outside the temple want to see you. It's so annoying that these people stay in the temple. Uncle should send them away quickly." Jiang Wuyou curled his lips, with an inexplicable feeling in his eyes.
Jiang Wuque smiled bitterly when he heard this, "It's best not to let outsiders listen to this. If the uncle has no scruples, that's fine, but the uncle is not the kind of person who bullies the weak. In addition to embarrassing words, you will also make it difficult for the uncle to do it."
Jiang Wuyou glanced sideways and smiled.
Yan Nantian shook his head, as if he was used to it, and didn't want to say anything more. He just said to Jiang Wuque: "There are so many people in the temple these days, and Xinlan is about to be about to give birth. To be safe, you should take her outside to wait for delivery."
Jiang Wuque nodded cautiously: "I understand, uncle."
At this moment, a white smoke suddenly rose from the distant sky, attracting the attention of several people. With a loud bang, the fire light burst out, and then black smoke formed a strange character.
"The order to kill evil?" Lu Zhongyuan looked up at the sky, his face changed.
"Why did they come?"
The "Condemnator" is a signal rocket. Every time the rocket signal rises, any "condemnator" who sees some signals, no matter how far away it is or how important the matter is, must quickly arrive at the assembly regardless of everything.
Although this was the first time Yan Nantian saw it, he knew what this meant. He looked neither happy nor sad, and said happily: "What should come will come."
