Chapter 1343 The Secret of Kunlun (First Update)

Xiao Bing has been to Shaolin Temple once before.

I remember that the last time I went there happened to be a big event happening in the Shaolin Temple. At that time, Xiao Bing was still surprised that the Shaolin sect had so many masters. But now Xiao Bing feels that that time was probably just the superficial foundation of the Shaolin Temple. The real foundation of Shaolin is definitely It's not just that simple.

You must know that Shaolin has been a sect as famous as Kunlun since ancient times. This is still under the condition that Shaolin Temple does not care about worldly affairs. According to such a super sect, how can the masters in their sect be inferior to the Iron Fist Sect and the What about a sect like Baijianmen?

The only person Xiao Bing felt that he could not see through was Abbot Zhiming of Shaolin. At that time, Xiao Bing's strength had already reached the early stage of Tianzun, but he had no resistance against Abbot Zhiming.

In Xiao Bing's view, Abbot Zhi Ming's strength is either at the peak of the Heavenly Lord, or even reaching the legendary limit that humans have the opportunity to reach, the realm of saints!

Xiao Bing asked Li Chaoyang and others to go back to Kyoto City first, and then came to Shaolin alone. When Xiao Bing came here, it happened to be late, and all the tourists had already left. Xiao Bing stood at the gate of Shaolin Temple with a respectful attitude. He said loudly: "Jiangcheng Xiao Bing came to visit Mr. Abbot!"

This sound alarmed the entire Shaolin Temple, and many people inside shouted: "Xiao Bing!"

"It's the same person who came last time!"

"He's here again."

"I don't know what happened this time."

"This person is very powerful."

"It seems that the abbot also values ​​him very much."

At this moment, the abbot's voice full of vicissitudes of life suddenly came from inside: "Donor Xiao, please come in!"

Xiao Bing said thank you, and then walked in. There were many people in the courtyard, some were young disciples, and some were slightly older. They all looked at Xiao Bing with curiosity, but what the abbot said just now Everyone heard it, so no one came to stop Xiao Bing.

Xiao Bing had already been to the abbot's room before, and this time he went directly to the abbot's residence.

When he came to the door of the abbot's room, Xiao Bing said respectfully: "Xiao Bing asks to see you."

"Donor Xiao Bing, please come in."

Xiao Bing walked over, pushed the door open, and stepped in. The old monk with white eyebrows in cassock sat on the wooden bed, pointed to the wooden chair next to him, and said, "Donor Xiao, please sit down."

At this moment, Xiao Bing looked at the white-browed old monk, still feeling an unfathomable feeling. He gave Xiao Bing the feeling of vicissitudes of life, withered and old, and with a background that was difficult to see clearly.

Xiao Bing sighed: "All martial arts practitioners are fighting and killing each other, pursuing the highest state of martial arts, but the one who has truly reached the highest state of martial arts is the master who is incompetent. The master's state makes People admire.”

"The highest realm? What is the highest realm?" Abbot Zhiming said with a smile, "The donor is actually a little persistent. If the world does not fight, how can martial arts be distinguished? If the world fights, there will still be a pile of bones and a handful of ashes in a hundred years. , what have we really won? Even if we look at the age of mythology, the heroes and gods and demons in that era of heroes eventually fell one by one. But today, the most people living in this world are ordinary people. , what’s the point of fighting over and over again.”

Xiao Bing said: "Actually, I came here this time to learn about the Kunlun Sect with you."

"Kunlun?" Abbot Zhiming's calm eyes suddenly showed an astonishing light. Xiao Bing immediately realized how different this Kunlun sect was. It is estimated that Abbot Zhiming can really make Abbot Zhiming behave differently in the world. Yes, it should only be Kunlun.

Abbot Zhiming asked: "Do you want to know what they do?"

Xiao Bing explained the current situation and finally said: "These people from the ancient martial arts sect are different from your Shaolin people. They have strong self-control. Ordinary people are like ants to them. How can a person care about the life and death of ants?" What? So for them, no matter whether it is human life or anything else, they have no concerns at all, and in their eyes, there is nothing wrong. In their minds, the people themselves are just ants."

Abbot Zhiming sighed and said: "So I said that martial arts can easily make people become demons. Even if they are decent martial arts, it does not mean that they will not become demons. Becoming a demon refers to the human mind. These people have already lost their mind. To become a demon, in their minds, martial arts represents a matter of life and death."

Xiao Bing said: "What Abbot Zhiming said is so true. Their minds are demonic. Although they claim to be a famous and upright sect, it is only because of their inheritance. However, with the number of ancient martial arts people in the world, their presence in Their status in martial arts is getting higher and higher, and this high status has already inspired their ambitions and made them arrogant. This arrogance has turned the people of the world into ants in their eyes."

Abbot Zhiming said: "Do you want to attack Kunlun?"

"It's a matter of time." Xiao Bing said, "If they don't act recklessly, of course I won't attack them, but I'm afraid that the Kunlun Sect's ambitions are too great. The people have been living and working in peace and contentment for so many years, and they can't suffer anymore. No more deaths!"

Abbot Zhiming looked at Xiao Bing and said: "I have long seen that Xiao Bing, the benefactor, is a person with a pure heart. Since you have the heart to save the world, I naturally know everything and tell you everything."

Xiao Bing said with a smile: "It would be great if the master is willing to tell everything truthfully. I'm afraid that the matter involves the Kunlun Sect, and the master will be worried."

Abbot Zhiming smiled and shook his head, and said: "Life is death, and death is life. I have been maintaining my life, just to do something beneficial to the world? What if I don't even do things that are truly beneficial to the world?" If I don’t dare to do it, then what’s the point of living in this world?”

"What's more, I may not be afraid of Kunlun." Abbot Zhiming said with a smile.

Xiao Bing said: "As expected, I haven't seen all the details of your temple."

Abbot Zhiming said: "Sooner or later, we will see it. I'd better talk to you about the Kunlun Sect. I suggest you not to act rashly and not to quarrel with the Kunlun Sect, but I think it should be based on the Kunlun Sect's behavior. , I’m afraid they will have great ambitions and plans.”

Xiao Bing asked: "Why do you think so?"

Abbot Zhiming said: "The Kunlun Sect was founded in the Ming Dynasty. After its establishment, martial arts geniuses within the sect emerged one after another, and their strength gradually became a giant sect in the martial arts world. At the beginning, the Kunlun Sect did not have much ambition, but when In the late Ming Dynasty, the strength of the Ming Dynasty began to weaken, and the Kunlun sect began to show its ambitions. They wanted the court to make them the state religion. After being rejected, they began to secretly corrupt officials, win over various sects, and secure their position. The leader of the martial arts alliance wants to replace the imperial court."

Xiao Bing smiled bitterly and said, "Is that a dream?"

"It is indeed not easy. There are many masters in the imperial court, and the imperial court has hundreds of thousands of troops. How can a martial arts sect be subverted? Later, they changed their strategy and roped in corrupt officials. In addition, they had the entire martial arts sect in their hands. There were endless middle and high masters, so later on, although the Ming Dynasty still did not canonize them as state religion, it still allowed them to do whatever they wanted."

"Later on, in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the Kunlun faction actively resisted the Qing Dynasty in the early stage because they did not want to lose their current dominance. Once the Ming Dynasty fell, with the strength of the Qing Dynasty, their status would no longer be guaranteed. Later they Only then did they realize that the Qing Dynasty was far too powerful for them to contend with, so they began to shrink back in order to protect themselves. At that time, the most famous person who truly resisted the Qing Dynasty was probably the famous Tianshan Old Man."

Xiao Bing said with emotion: "That's why future generations respect the old people of Tianshan."

"That's right. Later, during the Qing Dynasty, the Kunlun Sect was also active in various places at the beginning. They wanted the Qing Dynasty to make them the state religion because they enjoyed the feeling of being superior, but they clearly knew that they were not the ones governing the world. The most important thing is that they cannot control the army and they do not have various resources, so their policy has always been to win over the forces in the court, or to try to support their forces within the court. Unfortunately, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty , I was very wary of them, but they never succeeded, and their idea of ​​becoming a state religion never came true."

"Later, in the late Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty began to become seriously corrupt and its national power weakened. They began to take the opportunity to unify the martial arts forces with the intention of controlling the court. During the Cixi period, they finally supported the person they wanted to support in the court, Prince Gong. !”

Xiao Bing was surprised and asked: "Did they support Prince Gong?"

Abbot Zhiming sighed and said: "Yes, the Kunlun Sect originally planned to support Prince Gong to reach the sky in one step. Unfortunately, a person with more skill and status than Prince Gong came out of the palace. He was even a woman. This woman is Empress Dowager Cixi. Cixi was very political and ambitious, so she was not satisfied with listening to politics behind the curtain, so she colluded with Prince Gong and the Kunlun faction. Cixi also made great use of the Kunlun faction. After the death of Emperor Xianfeng Later, with the secret support of the Kunlun faction, Cixi launched the Xinyou coup. Prince Gong, Cixi, and the Kunlun faction worked together to kill eight auxiliary ministers including Zaiyuan, Duanhua, and Sushun. From then on, Empress Dowager Cixi began to The power has been taken over!"

"After that, Prince Gong dominated the government and the public. Although the Kunlun faction did not get what they wanted, and Prince Gong was not willing to listen to them to seize the throne, their status also increased. At that time, the Kunlun faction was the most powerful in the whole of China. They are all walking sideways."

"It's a pity. Unless you really sit on the throne, no matter how powerful you are, the person sitting on it will sooner or later be able to deprive you of all your glory. Prince Gong began to have misfortunes during the Boxer Rebellion. , the Kunlun Sect was forced to keep a low profile."

"But later on, the Kunlun faction never stopped their actions. They have been trying to control the court, but unfortunately they have never been able to do so. Otherwise, why do you think they would force the closure of the mountain after New China was established?"

Xiao Bing said with emotion: "I really didn't expect these things to have happened in history, and they have never been recorded in history books."

"You don't know, but the reason why Kunlun was forced to close the mountain back then was inseparable from our Shaolin Temple. Our Shaolin has never cared about the secular world, but at that time we were invited by the first leader of New China to work with the country. Let’s force their various sects to close the mountain together!”
