Journey to the West: The Rise of Martial Arts

Chapter 45
Later, Ren Qinglian really couldn't stand Xuanzang's endless talk about the brainwashing of Buddhism and Zen, so she planned to temporarily part ways with Zhongjie'an and Zhongjie'an on the grounds of her injuries.

He knew in his heart that during this journey in the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzang was so proud of his horseshoe. Along the way, officials and monks came out of the city to greet him, which was very majestic.

Xuanzang had already heard from the monks about the dangers of the fierce battle last night, so he didn't think much about it, he just planned to let Ren Qinglian ride the horse first, so that the three of them could continue on their way.

Ren Qinglian declined Xuanzang's kindness: "Don't worry about the Great Master, it will take two or three days as short as it takes, and three or five days as long as it takes, the kid will definitely be able to catch up to the two masters!"

Zhong Jiean also said at this time: "Little friend Ren is already a master martial artist, traveling thousands of miles a day is no problem, before we reach Hezhou Wei, it will take at least five days, enough for him to catch up."

Xuanzang gave up and told Ren Qinglian to take good care of her.

Ren Qinglian thanked her again, and at the same time thought to herself: "The reason for the encounter with the monster in Shuangcha Ridge is because the mage Sanzang got up too early, and it happened to be the time when the monsters went out for tooth sacrifice. If I delay for a while, will I be able to avoid it?" Open this catastrophe..."

Thinking about it, he watched Xuanzang and the two leave, but he himself went to another fork in the road.

This place is very close to Tubo, and he naturally wants to try his luck for the cultivation method behind the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu.

What's more, according to the location of the valley given by Piaoxiang Jiugai, passing from the Tubo side is actually a shortcut.

These three to five days are enough for him to improve his strength again.

……

The yellow sand is long, reflecting a layer of chaotic and misty glow in the sun.

In the distance, two figures moved quickly, heading towards the looming Lotus Temple at the southern end.

The figure gradually appeared, and the first one was a middle-aged man with a bearded face and a tiger's head.

He looked up at the sky, then turned around and said, "Junior Brother Yuwen, it seems that we are lucky to be able to arrive at the Lotus Temple before dark!"

Behind him, Yu Wentian, who was slightly thinner, smiled lightly: "There are rumors in the world that this Lotus Temple is hidden in the desert, and it is rare for people who are not destined to see it. It can be seen that it is groundless!"

"Maybe it's my junior brother, you have a buddha fate!" the bearded man joked.

Yu Wentian shook his head, and said suspiciously: "In the past few days, I faced the wall and thought about it, but I accidentally dreamed about Immortal Master Guangchengzi. If there is a destiny, it must be a Taoist destiny!"

Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor once asked Guangchengzi in Kongtong Mountain, so there are many Taoist temples on Kongtong Mountain.The Kongtong School also highly respects Taoism, and the disciples still yearn for Taoism's fairy fate on weekdays.

The bearded man nodded, then smiled and said, "I don't know if Master Lianhua will be Master's opponent!"

"Of course it won't be Master's opponent. Master is a quiet old man. If it wasn't for those monks who came to provoke him again and again, our master wouldn't bother to take this challenge." Yu Wentian frowned slightly.

"I am really looking forward to this battle. The battle between the two master warriors has not appeared in the Jianghu for many years. It will definitely become a good story in the future!"

The two continued to move forward as they spoke, casting long shadows in the yellow sand.

The Tubo national teacher came to the Tang Dynasty this time, on the one hand to spread his esoteric Buddhism, and on the other hand to promote the prestige of his Dragon and Elephant Prajna Kungfu in the Lotus Temple.

The purpose is self-evident, not only to save face for his own Zanpu, but also to use the outstanding people in the Central Plains to find some extraordinary disciples for the Lotus Temple.

As the most prestigious martial arts sect in the west of the Tang Dynasty, the Kongtong sect naturally became the object of challenge by Tubo warriors.

Feihongzi has been retreating and cultivating all year round. When she knew about this situation, the disciples in the sect were already impatient.

In order to get it done once and for all, and to use the competition to break through his own martial arts, Fei Hongzi proposed to make friends with Master Lianhua through martial arts.

This time, Yu Wentian and his two went to the Lotus Temple to make a battle invitation.

Suddenly, a cyan light and shadow galloped through the pale yellow sand and smoke.

The faces of Yu Wentian and the two changed drastically at the same time, and their eyes were fixed on the figure that was as fast as lightning.

"It's you!" Suddenly, Yu Wentian saw the face of the person coming, and shouted in shock.

The visitor laughed: "Brother Yuwen is doing well!"

As he said that, he stopped in a misty way.

A flash of horror flashed in the eyes of the bearded man: "You can retract freely, master martial artist! Junior brother, you know this senior!"

Although the young man in front of him is enviable, but there are some masters who are proficient in the art of beauty.

Yu Wentian said with a complicated face: "He is Ren Qinglian!"

"Didn't you say..." Yu Wentian stopped the bearded man halfway through his speech.

He said to Ren Qinglian with a face of shame: "It's ashamed to say, I have been thinking about the farewell in Chang'an, and now I know that the young master has shown mercy..."

Yu Wentian was punished to face the wall and think about it during this period of time, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was being tricked by Ren Qinglian.On weekdays, he often mentioned this matter with his good brother, and said that Ren Qinglian was a despicable and cunning guy, and her real strength was all bragging.

Ren Qinglian could probably guess what Yu Wentian was thinking, and seeing that he was slightly downcast, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother Yuwen, don't underestimate yourself, Kongtong's martial art is famous in the west, and I just got the advantage of Huangji Pill to get it." Achievement today!"

Yu Wentian's eyes lit up, Huangji Pill can increase the martial artist's internal strength, but after all, it is only with the help of external force. If you practice your own martial arts steadily, you will be able to reach this level one day, and the foundation is solid. The achievements that can be achieved will only be higher.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to be going to the Lotus Temple, Ren Qinglian couldn't help being more curious, and asked, "Are you two going to the Lotus Temple?"

"That's right, is Shaoxia Ren also going to the Lotus Temple?" The bearded man also asked as his affection for him increased greatly.

Ren Qinglian nodded: "Can you two tell me about the situation in the Lotus Temple?"

He came in a hurry, and he only inquired about the specific directions along the way, and now he happened to meet these two masters of the Kongtong sect, so he could inquire about the situation in the temple by the way.

The bearded man smiled and said, "You really asked the right person!"

The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles. In a short period of time, they were annoyed by the Tubo monks, so they deliberately went to learn about the Lotus Temple.

Immediately, the three talked while walking, and soon gave a general overview of the situation in the entire Lotus Temple.

The head abbot of this generation of Lianhua Temple is called Master Lianhua, who was already a master martial artist many years ago, and he sits down, and there are so-called "six children of secret sect".

Tibetan Buddhism believes in the theory of the reincarnation of the reincarnated soul boy. Each generation will select six children who are most likely to be the reincarnated soul boy from various places in Tubo as disciples.

The current national teacher of Tubo is one of the six children of the Secret School, and they are also the six disciples in the Lotus Temple whose strength is second only to Master Lianhua.
