The Shaoshi Mountain in Songshan is steep, but the mountain road is a long and wide stone level, with a magnificent scale and a huge project. It was dug for Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty to visit Shaolin Temple, and it was eight miles long. On this day, a purple-robed Taoist suddenly appeared on the mountain road and headed towards Shaolin Temple on the mountain.
This person is Fang Zhixing. After he and Li Mochou returned from the Western Regions, they said they were going to Wutai Mountain and Shaolin Temple. Li Mochou was unwilling to go. After discussing, the two separated temporarily. Li Mochou returned to Zhongnan, while Fang Zhixing went to Wutai Mountain and Shaolin Temple, and then went to Zhongnan Mountain to get along with her. By this time, it had been more than a month.
The trip to Mount Wutai was quite smooth. When Fang Zhixing arrived, Master Tanhua was in the temple and responded to the third Huashan Sword Contest. Fang Zhixing was invited by him and stayed for a few days before going south to Shaolin to invite Master Tianming.
Stepping up, Fang Zhixing saw five waterfalls on the opposite mountain, splashing jade, rushing down, looking down at the mountains, it was like an ant. He turned around a bend along the mountain road, and saw yellow walls and green tiles, which was such a big temple. Seeing this scene, he felt a lot of emotion. Fang Zhixing had visited Shaolin Temple in his previous life and fought in it. When this life first came, he also came to visit, hoping to obtain the "Nine Yang Sutra". However, Shaolin Temple was closing the mountain at that time. He was full of Taoist aura, and he was not an important figure. He needed Shaolin Temple to take it seriously. Therefore, before entering the temple, he was invited by the monk guarding the gate. It was really impossible to say that he had any good experience.
Fang Zhixing was really unsure of whether he could invite Master Tianming to participate in the Huashan Sword Contest on this trip. Although Shaolin Temple is known as the source of martial arts in the world, due to the heavy losses of the Huo Forefather Tuo, martial arts fell to decline. Even the previous two Huashan Sword Contests on the Huashan Sword Contests, no one was sent to participate. From this point of view, the hope of going this time will not be too great. After all, Shaolin Temple is too famous. Now it is in a middle-aged state of martial arts. If it is defeated by participating in the Huashan Sword Contest, it can be said that it is not worth the loss. Therefore, Fang Zhixing did not give much hope to this trip. The reason why he came to the door in person was not only to show respect. He wanted to communicate with the masters in the temple to see if he could gain something. Shaolin Temple had already become famous all over the world as early as the Sui and Tang Dynasties. For hundreds of years, there are countless experts who have hidden it, so there will definitely be references.
"Zen Master Tianming is here, Quanzhen Fang Zhixing greets you!" Fang Zhixing said loudly as he was about to reach the temple gate. The voice was condensed but did not dissipate and went to the temple far away. When the people in the temple heard it, they felt that his tone was clear and gentle. As if he was talking in his ears, they were extremely shocked. Even the seven old monks in a meditation hall were all alarmed.
When several monks in front of Shaolin Temple saw Fang Zhixing wearing Taoist robe, they were already confused. When they heard this, they were shocked. Although Shaolin Temple was closed down these years, it did not mean that they were not concerned about the affairs of the world. Of course, they had heard of Fang Zhixing, the top master of the younger generation. Not to mention that when the Great Winning Pass, Fang Zhixing defeated the Jinlun in the world, he was a little scared by the sword. Even as the descendants of Quanzhen Sect, he was the most skilled martial arts person among the descendants of the Quanzhen Sect, it was enough for Shaolin Temple to remember it all the time. Seeing him alone coming to visit, even the monks were a little prepared. They were also a little busy for a while.
Finally, they were disciples of the great sect. After a while, these people calmed down and came forward to take Fang Zhixing's prayer letter, invited him to sit down in the pavilion in front of the door, and sent someone to report. The remaining people stayed in front of the temple and kept staring at Fang Zhixing.
Fang Zhixing saw that they were facing a great enemy and shook his head secretly. Although Shaolin Temple declined due to changes in the temple, it has always been the largest sect in the world. Naturally, he would not be convinced by Quanzhen Sect, the current largest sect in the world. Moreover, the two are in the north. Another belongs to Buddhism and the other belongs to Taoism. Naturally, the relationship will not be good. Seeing these people, Fang Zhixing could think of the attitudes of the monks in Shaolin Temple towards him, but he was afraid that if he was not careful, it would be possible to start. Thinking of this, he was more cautious in his heart and considered how to deal with it.
Just as he was thinking, Fang Zhixing suddenly saw the temple gate wide open, and two rows of monks in gray robes were walked out, fifty-four people on the left and fifty-four people on the right, a total of one hundred and eight. They were disciples of the Arhat Hall, and the number of 108 Arhat Halls could form a 108 Arhat formation. Eighteen monks came out, older, with a light yellow cassock on the gray robes. They were higher-ranking disciples of the Bodhidharma Hall, and they could form the Eighteen Arhat formation. A moment later, seven old monks wore large plaid robes. The seven monks were wrinkled, the young ones were over 60 years old, and the old one seemed to be eighty-year-old, and they were seven elders in the Xin Zen Hall. Then Abbot Tianming slowly walked out, the first Zen Master Wuxiang in the Bodhidharma Hall on the left, and the first Zen Master Wuseong in the Arhat Hall on the right. There were more than 100 people, and all the monks in the Shaolin Temple were elite.
Fang Zhixing was really surprised to see such a scene in Shaolin Temple. He went along the way and visited Kunlun Sect, Wutai Mountain and other sects, but never received such treatment. Unexpectedly, when he arrived in Shaolin, the other party set up such a big scene. Judging from their appearance, they must not simply welcome him, but more cautious.
In fact, Fang Zhixing didn't know that he had not done any earth-shaking things, but he had already known to all the major forces in the world. Although Shaolin Temple was closed, and the monks went out, there were still many lay disciples, so the news was naturally quite well-versed. Zen Master Tianming and others had already heard the news of Wuwu and Huashan sword-making. After Fang Zhixing visited Mount Wutai, he had already guessed that the next stop would be Shaolin. Because he was worried that Fang Zhixing would take the opportunity to pick Shaolin and establish the position of the world's largest sect in the Quanzhen Sect, Abbot Tianming sent a decree early and summoned monks to practice the formation. Fang Zhixing just sent a message to alarm all these people and appeared one by one. Even the seven elders of Xin Zen Hall appeared under Tianming's Zhihui.
Abbot Tianming and Wuse, Wuxiang and others were really shocked when they saw Fang Zhixing being only twenty or thirty years old. They had known that Fang Zhixing was young and had extraordinary martial arts, but they could not suppress their surprise when they saw it with their own eyes. They thought they could not do the trick that Fang Zhixing had just shown, and after a quick argument, they knew that the requirement for skill control was shocking, and it was even more incredible to be able to reach such a state like Fang Zhixing at a young age. Although Zen Master Tianming thought to ask the seven elders of the Heart Zen Hall to escort the formation, they really didn't know how deep their martial arts were and whether they could control Fang Zhixing when they started. Thinking of this, he could only hope for the Arhat Formation. (To be continued)
