Journey to the West: The Rise of Martial Arts

Chapter 1
In the 13th year of Tang Zhenguan, the eminent monk Xuanzang wanted to go to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures. Taizong greatly appreciated it. He specially ordered the six sects under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment to select two top masters from the rivers and lakes as followers to protect the Buddhist scriptures along the way.

The Six Gates, built in the first year of Zhenguan, was originally intended to deal with the remnants of the uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the powerful green forests everywhere. However, as the world has gradually become peaceful over the years, it has become an organization that specializes in supervising the forces of the rivers and lakes. The influence in the martial arts is at its peak.As soon as the news that King Tang selected expert guards for the Buddhist scriptures came out, people came to the six gates to sign up one after another. For a while, the warriors in Chang'an City gathered, and it was very lively.

Among them are the Quartet Rangers who came for the imperial court's rewards, and also the masters of the various factions who had to be sent out because of the face of the six doors. He is willing to be a follower for the Buddhist monk who has never met before, but at least the title of this top warrior still has to be contended for.

For ordinary people, it’s just for fun. Before the competition started these days, there were many anecdotes and anecdotes about masters from all walks of life in the teahouses and restaurants in the city. The jokes are sung vividly and vividly. Among them, the most talked about are the so-called four masters:

The universe does not move Yu Wentian,
A song to seduce the soul of Murong Xuan.

Guanxin asked Zhongjie Nunnery,
Merry sword ruffian Ren Qinglian!
Let's not talk about whether these four masters are really worthy of their names, but the sect forces they represent behind them should not be underestimated.Among them, Yu Wentian is the head disciple of this generation of the Kongtong Sect, Murong Xuan is the contemporary saint of the Nishang Sect, Zhongjie Temple is from the Bodhidharma Hall of Shaolin Temple, and Ren Qinglian is the new owner of Baijiange!The Kongtong Sect, Nishang Sect, Shaolin Temple, and Baijiange are the four major sects of martial arts in this world.

Among these four people, except for the romantic swordsman Ren Qinglian, whom everyone has never heard of, the remaining three are characters who have long been famous in the world.Four years ago, Yu Wentian fought against the Seven Monsters in Taihang Mountain alone. Absolutely, the song moves the soul; Zhongjie'an was originally a hero of the rivers and lakes. Since he converted to Shaolin Temple ten years ago, he has entered the Bodhidharma Hall to study various martial arts.

Only the "Merry Swordsman" has just spread his reputation. As for the meaning of this bandit name, not many people know about it.However, storytellers love the word "Merry" the most, and the most stories are derived from him. Among the market, this person is the most famous.In addition, this person is actually the headmaster of a sect, so he must have superb martial arts skills, not comparable to the first three, so he is listed as the last one.

But Ren Qinglian, a flirtatious swordsman, is not as calm as outsiders imagined at the moment.Although, his performance in front of people is still calm.These are all benefited from his more than ten years of experience in society in his previous life, but this is obviously not the world he should have been in. His ordinary social experience, in addition to making himself more sophisticated and smooth Besides, the current situation has not changed at all.

Thinking of the incident of Avalokitesvara's manifestation a few days ago, Ren Qinglian felt that everything in front of her was a little unreal.But the reality gave him another blow. The experience of life and death these days has made him understand that this is a living world, a real world with flesh and blood!Thinking of this, he subconsciously squeezed the slender hand in his hand.

Hua Linglong glanced at Ren Qinglian with her water-cut eyes that were full of complaints and complaints, but saw that his eyes were clear, and he didn't seem to be thinking about herself. Only adversity can make people truly grow up. When will this young lady of the Ren family become so mature and stable.

Ren Qinglian seemed to be aware of it, she raised her head to meet Hua Linglong's eyes, her heart skipped a beat, and she secretly said: "No wonder that guy Ren Qingyun's eyes are always high, but she is fascinated by her! Tsk tsk, just this one Just one glance will almost drive me, a veteran of flowers, out of my wits!" Thinking of this, in order not to be noticed by others, he smiled and leaned towards Linglong.That lewd look, if not someone who is very familiar with him, I'm afraid that this is the true color of the former young master.

Linglong straightened her clothes with some distaste, but she never stopped the other party's actions. In fact, although she is the most famous nobleman in Fengyue Pavilion, as long as the customers are willing to spend money, it's still impossible for young master Ren to take advantage of it. blocked.

Ren Qinglian didn't care too much, only in this Fengyue Pavilion could she feel a little bit of security, this would not only confuse the enemy but also cover up her strangeness during this period of time, why not do it.

The so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, Ren Qinglian has completely straightened out what happened to the original owner of this body during this period of time from the perspective of an outsider - this is obviously a premeditated martial arts vendetta!

Baijian Pavilion began to flourish in the hands of the previous pavilion master, that is, the father of this body, Ren Taixu.In fact, in Ren Qinglian's view, it was nothing more than standing in the right camp in the process of the feudal hegemony, but no matter what, Baijiange became one of the four major sects in the world under the hands of the pavilion director Taixu.However, in the fifth year of Zhenguan, Ren Taixu, whose martial arts cultivation base was flourishing, suddenly died suddenly, which made Baijiange, which was already known as the best in the world at that time, become turbulent.

Fortunately, the tiger father has no dogs. At this time, Ren Taixu's youngest son, Ren Qingyun, was born. Not only did his martial arts practice catch up to his father, but he also did not lose too much in his vision. Baijiange was brought back on the right track, and it became a good talk in the world for a while.Of course, this beautiful talk has nothing to do with Young Master Ren.

Thinking of Ren Qingyun, Ren Qinglian can still feel the jealousy accumulated by her predecessor over the years.This Ren Qingyun is actually an illegitimate son of Ren Taixu who stayed outside, when Ren Qinglian was ten years old, he was brought back to the Sword Pavilion, in just half a year, the young master Ren who had been pampered since childhood became a complete foil.In fact, it is also my fault that Young Master Ren is not good at literature and martial arts, and this younger brother who is three years younger than him is too outstanding. He has acquired the true biography of Ren Taixu at a young age, and is even better than blue.

Naturally, Ren Qinglian would not be reconciled, but no matter how hard he practiced swordsmanship for many years, it was still commonplace. On the other hand, Ren Qingyun had long been famous, and later Ren Taixu died suddenly, and the Jiange Pavilion was in turmoil. There is nothing wrong with Ren Qinglian.Frustrated, Ren Qinglian started to go in and out of the opera house, passing cups in the dance hall, enjoying the moon in the flowers, and won the title of "Merry Swordsman" in the past few years.

Thinking of this, Ren Qinglian felt a little overwhelmed, now that Ren Qingyun died for no apparent reason, those old foxes in the pavilion pushed herself to the throne of the pavilion master, if it wasn't for this old and young trash, she might not be alive now.

But now, Six Doors has staged a martial arts tournament to select followers for Buddhist scriptures. Those people once again pushed themselves to the fore. Isn't it clear that it depends on the joke of our Young Master Ren?

As for whether she should become Tang Sanzang's entourage, Ren Qinglian also thought about leaving a strong mark in this era of dancing immortals and Buddhas. What's more, even according to the ending in the original book, Tang Seng's two attendants seemed to be served by monsters as a snack just after they left Liangjie Mountain.

Really, a dilemma!
