Traveling through Yuhuatian, the start of the Sunflower Collection is complete

"Master, are you alright?"

On the way down the mountain, Ma Jinliang walked into the sedan Yuhuatian was riding in and asked in a low voice.

Today, the scene of Yuhuatian being knocked away by the sweeping monk and vomiting blood made him feel a little uneasy.

In his impression, Yuhuatian had not been injured for a long time.

Unexpectedly, this time, he would end up in Shaolin Temple.

"It's okay, you can recover after a while."

Yu Huatian's calm voice came from the sedan: "After we return, send someone to check the identity of this old monk. With such a realm and fighting power, this person must not be an unknown person."

The sweeping monk is powerful enough to be called the number one Buddhist monk in the Central Plains.

In this era, with such terrifying strength, Yu Huatian would never believe that this person would be a nobody.

This old monk must have been a famous person in the world, or he was a very senior person in the Shaolin Temple.

Yuhuatian must find out his identity.

And the owner of that relic!
This person must be a Shaolin man who has ascended to the immortal world.

I just don’t know which Shaolin person it is?
"Yes, Lord!"

Ma Jinliang solemnly held up his hands, and then asked: "Master Governor, as for today's incident, do we need to send someone to spread the ugly face of Shaolin Temple?"

"No need!"

Yu Huatian said calmly: "Those people from various factions and Xiao Yuanshan will naturally publicize today's matter for us. Moreover, the effect of publicizing it personally is much better than that of others. There is no need for us to intervene in this matter. "

"Yes, the Governor is far-sighted and his subordinates admire him."

Ma Jinliang said with admiration.

Yu Huatian had no intention of talking about anything else. After explaining these two things, he crossed his legs and closed his eyes, and began to perform exercises to heal his injuries.

In today's battle with the sweeping monk, he was seriously injured. Fortunately, he was protected by the immortal demon body, otherwise, his internal organs would have been shattered.

By that time, it will really be difficult for even the Da Luo gods to save him.

The sweeping monk's realm was not weak, and there was also a relic left by an old monk of unknown realm to help him. With his current realm, he was indeed no match.

However, Yuhuatian still has the strength to protect himself.

If the old monk really wanted to force him to stay today, he would definitely pay a heavy price, and he might not be able to succeed in the end.

After all, even if a warrior at this level is defeated, he cannot be easily killed.

Even if you can't fight, you can still escape.

This was also the reason why the sweeping monk took a step back in the end and was willing to give up Xuanci.

But no matter what, what happened today taught Yuhuatian a great lesson.

He always thought that with the strength that he could kill in the Hedao realm, looking at the entire world, he must also be able to walk sideways.

Unexpectedly, he would be slapped in the face in his first battle with the Song Dynasty.

From this point of view, with his current strength, he is far from invincible.

At least, one must have the strength to kill the sweeping monk, so that one can be said to have no opponent.

Therefore, we still have to continue to improve our strength!

Taking a deep breath, Yuhuatian's mind sank into his mind and he seriously healed his wounds.

But in my heart, I have secretly made up my mind to improve my strength as soon as possible and get back to where I am today!

Since the Ming Dynasty's Western Expedition, the Song Dynasty has begun to become turbulent.

A few days later, the Song court announced its unconditional surrender. The Ming army entered the Song territory in large numbers and began to put down the rebellion and take over the Song territory, which caused turmoil in the entire world.

The initiator of all this, the Ming Dynasty King Wu Yuhuatian, naturally became the center of attention of all forces.

This naturally includes people from various martial arts sects.

This can be seen from the fact that Yu Huatian brought people to Shaolin, but was followed by spies from many martial arts sects.

Therefore, the news that Yu Huatian set foot on Shaoshi Mountain and made a big fuss in the Shaolin Temple spread very quickly due to the propaganda of spies from various martial arts sects.

In just a few days, when Yu Huatian set foot on Shaoshi Mountain, all the details that happened in the Shaolin Temple were spread throughout the world.

For a time, the entire world was in turmoil again.

No one would have thought that the Shaolin Temple, which has always been known as a sacred place for Buddhism and compassionate, is actually a place harboring filth and evil!
The dignified abbot of Shaolin was not only the trigger that led to the Liao-Song War 30 years ago, but he also committed adultery and had an affair with Ye Erniang, one of the four most evil people in the world.

Moreover, the reason why Ye Erniang has done many evil things and killed innocent babies in recent years is inseparable from Xuanci.

Many people find it unbelievable and don't even believe it is true.

But a few days later, Xiao Yuanshan, the general of the Liao Kingdom who had died 30 years ago, suddenly appeared in the arena, looking for revenge.

For example, Zhao Qiansun's fellow disciples who had participated in the Yanmen Pass murder case, Wang Jiantong, the former leader of the Beggar Clan, and Tan Gong and Tan Po were all found by Xiao Yuanshan and killed one by one.

And in order to prove his identity, Xiao Yuanshan used all the stunts he had become famous for. After killing someone, he would leave a few words at the scene: "Xuanci of Shaolin Temple killed innocent people unjustly, and Xiao Yuanshan took revenge."

There was a lot of trouble in this matter.

Gradually, many people began to suspect that this matter was true.

After all, there are no waves without wind.

Not long afterward, many rumors appeared in the world.

Some people who had grudges against Shaolin Temple came forward one after another to expose Shaolin's ugly face.

For example, a good-natured woman once went to the Shaolin Temple to beg for a child, and she became pregnant not long after she returned. However, her husband later found out that he had been cuckolded by a Shaolin monk, and that the evil seed his wife was pregnant with was not his, so he went to Shaolin to argue, but In the end, due to the powerful power of the Shaolin Temple, he let it go and endured the humiliation.

There are also people whose land was forcibly expropriated by the Shaolin Temple. In the end, their families were destroyed and their lives were destroyed, but they had nowhere to redress their grievances.

There were even Shaolin monks who raped civilian girls, broke into women's boudoirs late at night, and ruined their innocence, etc.

In the past, these victims were forced to be angry and dare not speak out due to the huge power of Shaolin Temple. Now, seeing that Shaolin Temple has made public outrage, they immediately stood up to testify and wanted to seek justice.

Of course, there must be people among them who take advantage of the opportunity to add insult to injury and want to bring down Shaolin, but at this time, no one is going to expose them.

Anyway, no matter what the crime is, just put it on the head of the Shaolin Temple.

For a time, the world was in turmoil, and countless people complained about Shaolin. More and more people joined in the condemnation of Shaolin Temple.

Since then, the reputation of Shaolin Temple has plummeted, and it has become the target of everyone's shouting and denunciation.

But along with the Shaolin Xuanci incident, there was also news about the battle between the Ming Dynasty Wu Wang Yu Huatian and the sweeping monk.

Countless people also know that there is a real strong man sitting in the Shaolin Temple, and even the Ming Dynasty King Wu suffered a loss.

How can ordinary people dare to trouble the Shaolin Temple?

However, there were still some brave people among them who broke into Shaolin at night and tried to burn down the Shaolin Temple, but they failed in the end.Now, countless people hate the Shaolin Temple, but there is nothing they can do about it.

But in this way, those people and forces who had good relations with Shaolin Temple will suffer.

Many people who had colluded with Shaolin to commit crimes were picked out and then exterminated.

Many relatives and friends of Shaolin disciples before they became monks were also affected and ended up being very miserable.

Ye Erniang, who had an affair with Shaolin abbot Xuanci, was also besieged to death by countless martial arts masters, without even leaving a whole body behind.

Regarding these situations, the court did not make any move and allowed those people to vent their anger.

It was not until more and more innocent people were involved that the court began to send people to stop it, but the effect was minimal.

Therefore, they could only order the Shaolin Temple to be closed, cancel various preferential policies originally provided to the Shaolin Temple, and strictly prohibit pilgrims from offering incense.

In this regard, the Shaolin Temple naturally knew that these were all done deliberately by King Wu of the Ming Dynasty. The purpose was to disgrace the Shaolin Temple for this scene.

Although they were angry, they did not dare to say anything after the warning from the sweeping monk. In the end, they had no choice but to close the mountain and close the temple to avoid the disaster.

But after experiencing this incident, the decline of Shaolin Temple has become inevitable.

At least, in the territory of the Song Dynasty, the Shaolin Temple would no longer have a foothold.

During this period, the court was actually not idle.

Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting led the army to suppress the rebellions everywhere. With the assistance of various martial arts factions in the Ming Dynasty, the rebels were put down one after another, and each area was completely conquered and included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty court also received news from the Jin Yiwei, and began to send people to take over the Song Dynasty territory and appease the people.

As policies were implemented one by one, the people of the originally turbulent Song Dynasty began to gradually accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

It was only a matter of time before the Song Dynasty was completely conquered.

As for Jin Yiwei, in addition to arranging the Song Dynasty and monitoring various places, Ma Jinliang and others are also constantly investigating the identity of the sweeping monk.

A month later, the results finally came.

On this day, Yuhuatian was retreating in the original Song Dynasty Palace, and Ma Jinliang suddenly came to the door.

"Master Governor, there is news about the identity of the old monk from Shaolin Temple!"

Ma Jinliang said excitedly.

Yuhuatian opened his eyes and asked calmly: "What was found?"

Ma Jinliang said hurriedly: "According to the investigation conducted by my subordinates during this period, the old monk is most likely a Shaolin monk who disappeared thousands of years ago, named Zen Master Huike!"

"Zen Master Huike?"

Yu Huatian frowned slightly and thought about it in his mind for a while, but never thought of where he had heard this name.

Yuhuatian looked at Ma Jinliang: "Continue."

"Master Governor, this man was very famous in the world back then. The Shaolin Temple was even called the 'Martial Sect of the World'. It was all because of his punches and palms."

Ma Jinliang reported the news he found one by one: "Back then, not long after the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, the world was in war. This man single-handedly suppressed the world and made a name for the Shaolin Temple. From then on, the Shaolin Temple began to dominate the world. Take your place.”

Yu Huatian narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "So, this person's martial arts qualifications are probably comparable to those of Bodhidharma who created the Shaolin Temple?"

Buddhism was introduced to China not long after the fall of the Qin Dynasty.

However, the Shaolin Temple only began to spread in some areas.

It was not until later that Bodhidharma crossed the river with a reed and was regarded as a miracle by countless people, and Shaolin Temple began to spread.

However, at that time, the Shaolin Temple only gathered a group of believers among the people, and its status in the world was not high.

"Not bad!"

Ma Jinliang nodded and said: "According to the information we found, this person is said to have some relationship with the Bodhidharma monk."

"Based on the seniority in the Shaolin Temple, this person is most likely a disciple of Bodhidharma, who was called the Second Shaolin Patriarch."

"It is said that among the several disciples of Bodhidharma, he is the only one who has received Bodhidharma's martial arts inheritance!"

Disciple of Bodhidharma?
Zen Master Huike? !
Yuhuatian took a long breath: "That's it!"

If this person is really the martial arts successor of Bodhidharma, then it makes sense.

The relic in his hand was probably left behind by Bodhidharma after his ascension.

Otherwise, ordinary monks would not be qualified to keep the relics and keep them for so many years.

The relics of Buddhism are somewhat similar to the golden elixirs produced by ancient qigong practitioners.

It not only contains the cultivation inheritance of the master before his death, but also contains the skills left behind by the master before his death. It is an extremely rare treasure.

But in this era, the ancient art of refining qi has long been lost. Even if there are occasional survivals, they are all incomplete versions.

For example, what Xu Hongru practiced was a incomplete Qi refining method, which could only reach the Void Refining realm, which is equivalent to the heavenly and human level of martial arts.

The art of refining qi has been lost, and the ancient Buddhist method of condensing relics cannot remain.

However, as the founder of Shaolin, Bodhidharma came from overseas and may not know some methods of condensing relics.

It’s just that the Shaolin Temple he founded in the end also spread martial arts.

For example, Shaolin Temple's supreme scriptures, such as the Changing Tendon Sutra and the Marrow Cleansing Sutra, were passed down by Bodhidharma.

But it does not include the ancient method of condensing relics.

If there is a monk who can condense relics in this era, it is only Bodhidharma.

"The governor said that this person has profound martial arts, probably more than a thousand years ago, and is proficient in various martial arts in Shaolin. Therefore, his subordinates started investigating from some monks in Shaolin thousands of years ago, and finally found Huike."

"But whether the old monk is Huike or not, my subordinates are not very sure. After all, we have no records of those classics that are thousands of years old. Including the Shaolin Temple that was destroyed before, we have never found any classics that are more than a thousand years old."

Ma Jinliang continued.

Yuhuatian's eyes moved and he said: "I remember that after Bodhidharma's eastward journey, the first Buddhist temple he created seemed to be in the Song Dynasty, right?"

Ma Jinliang pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "The governor remembers it well. This territory of the Song Dynasty was what was left after the Liang Kingdom was destroyed. Na Bodhidharma came from the east and discussed Taoism with the Emperor of Liang in the Liang Palace. , then the Emperor of Liang personally built a Buddhist temple for him and named the temple Shaolin. This is the origin of the Shaolin Temple."

"After Bodhidharma ascended to the throne, Zen Master Huike did not serve as the abbot of Shaolin, but he controlled Bodhidharma Academy, managed the monks, and taught martial arts to his disciples. He was called the 'Second Patriarch' by the Shaolin monks."

"In the following years, whenever the Shaolin Temple encountered a crisis, it was Huike who came forward to solve it. Gradually, the Shaolin Temple began to rise to prominence in the world."

"Later, many warrior monks returned to secular life and gained considerable fame in the martial arts world. Various martial arts from the Shaolin Temple also began to spread in the martial arts world. It is even said that many famous martial arts in the martial arts world came from the Shaolin Temple. , so Shaolin Temple gradually became respected as 'the sect of martial arts in the world'."

"That's right." Yu Huatian said calmly: "If he controls the relics, is proficient in many Shaolin secret arts, and has such profound skills, then this person is probably Huike."

Saying that, Yuhuatian looked in the direction of Shaoshi Mountain, a chill flashed in his eyes, and murmured: "No wonder the descendants of Bodhidharma are so difficult to deal with."

"However, this is the first time I have suffered a setback since I entered heaven. I hope you won't ascend too soon."

"Otherwise, wouldn't it be too boring?" (End of this chapter)
