Chapter 185 The Central Plains is too scary, we want to go home!
The Shaolin monks came to Wudang Mountain, Zhang Sanfeng came to greet them in person, and the seven heroes of Wudang all appeared, making Du'e, Dujie and Dunan look very happy. Although Song Qingshu was not polite to them at all and beat and scolded them, the elders were very polite to them, which made the three Shaolin monks look very happy.
Ever since Xie Xun, the Golden Lion King, came up the mountain, Zhang Wuji, the leader of the Ming Cult, dispatched 500 elite soldiers of the Five Elements Flag to guard the mountain. Later, Yin Tianzheng of the Sky Eagle Cult brought another 500 elite soldiers of the Sky Eagle Cult. Now, the Shaolin masters and the 36-man Arhat Formation have been gathered together, and they are all arranged to guard one side at the foot of the mountain, making Wudang's defense as tight as an iron barrel.
The four Dharma Kings of the Ming Cult, Purple, White, Gold and Blue, gathered together, and the most senior people from Shaolin and Wudang also had a pleasant conversation. Song Qingshu proposed his idea of calling the Two Elders of Huashan, the Five Elders of Kongtong, and Master Miejue of Emei to completely unlock the secrets of the Dragon Slaying Sabre and the Heavenly Sword. He had already sent out the letter, and he believed that these people would arrive soon, which made Zhang Sanfeng, Song Yuanqiao and others look at each other in surprise.
"Qingshu, have you figured out the secrets of the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Heavenly Sword?" Song Yuanqiao was not polite to his own son at all. Others did not dare to ask him, but he had no taboos. He could even rely on his father's status to enforce the family rules when no one was around.
Song Qingshu nodded and said, "I did get a little bit of information from some channels, but whether it's accurate or not depends on how Nun Miejue reacts after she arrives. This old nun is not honest at all, she knew it all along, ouch~"
Retracting his palm, Song Yuanqiao snorted as he watched Song Qingshu cover his head and look at him, "You have no respect for your elders. You should respect your elders."
Song Qingshu curled his lips and said, "What's the point of talking about elders? Grand Master and Lady Hero Guo Xiang are of the same generation. From that point on, Nun Miejue and I are of the same generation. Why should she be treated as an elder?"
Song Yuanqiao blew his beard and glared. "How can that be counted?" Ji Xiaofu was a disciple of Master Miejue and almost became Yin Liting's wife. If you count it that way, she is a generation older than me.
After a "cordial" conversation with Cheng Kun, Xie Xun, his hands covered in blood, felt a great deal more relaxed, yet at the same time, his heart felt empty. Upon hearing Song Qingshu's intention to uncover the secrets of the Dragon Slaying Saber and Heavenly Sword, he took the initiative and said, "Young Master Song, if you need them, take them. This old blind man also wants to know what secrets these are that command the entire martial arts world to obey."
Song Qingshu just smiled and said nothing about this question, and decided not to say anything until everyone arrived. Two days later, Nun Miejue, who was the farthest away, arrived first. However, she did not come after receiving Song Qingshu's letter. Instead, she set out immediately after hearing the rumors spread by Zhao Min and met the messenger by chance on the way.
However, there was something wrong with this messenger. He was a Ming Cult disciple who had come down from the battlefield and was almost killed by Nun Miejue. After reading Song Qingshu's letter, Nun Miejue began to hesitate. Could it be that this kid also knew the secrets of the Dragon Slaying Saber and the Heavenly Sword?
After hesitating for a long time, Master Miejue finally decided to go to Wudang Mountain. The inheritance of Peach Blossom Island that Wudang gave her might not be much worse than the inheritance in the Sword of the Heavenly Sword. She had to repay this favor. What's more, without the Dragon Slaying Sword, she couldn't get the secret book inside.
The second to arrive were the Beggars' Sect. The Beggars' Sect's Kung Fu Elder, Law Enforcement Elder, and Leader of the Stick-Warring Sect came together, bringing with them hundreds of Beggars' Sect disciples. They set up a dog-beating formation at the foot of the mountain. They also had ideas about the Dragon Slaying Sword, but they were mostly returning favors. They didn't even know that their leader had been replaced, which was a huge loss of face.
The two elders of Huashan and the five elders of Kongtong arrived one after another, but not long after they arrived, a large group of people from the Persian Mingjiao also arrived. Thousands of people marched towards Wudang Mountain in a mighty manner, but encountered layers of obstacles at the foot of the mountain.
Song Qingshu intended to make things difficult for them, so he asked them to start the level-breaking mode. The Five Elements Flag was the first level, the Sky Eagle Sect was the second level, the Dog Beating Formation was the third level, the Arhat Formation was the fourth level, and the Wudang Sword and Shield Formation and the Sword Formation were the fifth level. This process made the Persian Mingjiao people suffer a lot, and also allowed the Central Plains martial arts to see the weirdness of Persian martial arts.
It took so many masters of the Persian Mingjiao three whole days to pass these tests, and they barely passed by defeating the odds with overwhelming numbers. In the end, the Twelve Treasure Tree Kings, the three envoys, and more than twenty masters who accompanied them were qualified to go up the mountain.
Sorry, everyone else, please stay down there. None of us are qualified to go up the mountain, let alone you.
The Persian Ming Cult members were truly losing their temper this time. They simply couldn't defeat the Central Plains martial arts masters in a head-on battle of equal numbers, and none of them were top-tier. Once they reached the mountain, the Seven Heroes of Wudang appeared in unison, setting up the Wudang Seven-Section Formation and brutally defeating the forty masters, severely dampening their spirit before allowing them to advance.
It should have ended here, but the three Shaolin monks got playful and set up the Vajra Demon Subduing Circle, tormenting them all over again.
But this time, the twelve jewel tree kings and the three great messengers joined forces and finally broke the Vajra Demon Subduing Circle, which somewhat saved their face. However, their strength was almost exhausted and they felt tired even walking.
Once there is one, there will be two. There are not many opportunities like this to compete with masters from outside the domain, so the two elders of Huashan and the five elders of Kongtong all took action and had several one-on-one and two-on-two battles. Nun Miejue was quite reserved at the beginning, but later when she saw that the Green-Winged Bat King and the White-Browed Eagle King had also won several games, she also joined in the activities, under the pretext of not letting the Demon Sect become famous.
She was also fighting against the Demon Cult, and was an expert at the Demon Cult headquarters, so she was having a lot of fun.
The three elders of the Beggar Gang, who had come to help, saw that everyone was going up and thought it would be a bit unreasonable if they didn't go up. So they decided to stretch their muscles and go up to have some fun. Because they had witnessed several battles between Persian Mingjiao masters before, they were mentally prepared. Although they were still a little uncomfortable, they won in the end and did not bring shame to the Central Plains martial arts world.
Zhang Sanfeng was no stranger to Persian martial arts. When Song Qingshu first returned, he had taught him the complete set of Tai Chi skills, including boxing and sword techniques. Song Qingshu took the opportunity to spar with Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi using his "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" and "Holy Fire Token." Despite a slight advantage initially due to his childish, tantrum-like tactics, Zhang Sanfeng, once fully acclimated, was badly beaten. He was forced to resort to the Heaven-Flipping Palm, the Dugu Nine Swords, and the One Yang Finger to reverse the situation and secure a decisive victory.
Song Qingshu gave the complete set of "The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" and "The Divine Art of the Holy Fire Token" to Zhang Sanfeng, and then went to practice the Tai Chi Divine Art. This thing seemed to be three times more powerful than the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, and its upper limit was extremely high, unlike the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth which reached its peak at the seventh level.
Zhang Sanfeng briefly researched these two martial arts and found them somewhat extreme. While seemingly powerful, these unconventional techniques were rarely achieved. Those who could reach them would undoubtedly master other martial arts, such as his own Tai Chi. After a brief study of these two martial arts, Zhang Sanfeng set them aside. While they had provided some inspiration, they were still not as powerful as his own Tai Chi, so there was no need to invest any more effort in them.
The people of the Persian Ming Cult practiced an incomplete version of "The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" and "The Divine Art of the Holy Fire Token". After reading it, Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but shake his head slightly. He didn't even have the interest to participate in it himself. In his eyes, it was too immature.
Afterwards, the four core Wudang disciples, Song Qingshu, Zhou Zhiruo, Yin Li and Song Qingshan, joined forces to challenge the Twelve Treasure Tree Kings. Song Qingshu took on nine of them by himself, and the remaining three took on one each. In the end, they won a great victory, destroying the Persian Ming Cult's fighting spirit.
The Twelve Treasure Tree Kings, the Three Great Emissaries and many Persian Mingjiao masters were all disheartened. The Central Plains was too scary. We want to go home!
