Shi Potian travels through Linghu Chong

Chapter 125 Assessing the Situation
Shi Potian now knew the meaning of the wedding. He was extremely happy and kowtowed to Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze: "Thank you, Master and Master's Wife, for your help. I will take good care of my little sister."

Afterwards, Yue Buqun asked about what happened in Huashan Sect after he came down the mountain. When he learned that Ning Zhongze was seriously injured by the Five Poison Sect, he flew into a rage and promised Ning Zhongze: "Don't worry, Junior Sister. I will definitely seek justice for you."

Then he talked about Ping Yizhi and Qianqiu Palace.

Yue Buqun didn't care much about Qianqiu Palace.

Today, the Huashan Sect has the "Sunflower Manual" and the Dugu Nine Swords, and there are not many martial arts in the world that can compare to these two.

On the contrary, Yue Buqun values ​​Ping Yizhi, the miracle doctor, more.

Ning Zhongze’s safety this time depends on Shi Potian and Ping Yizhi.

If Ping Yizhi could be recruited to the Huashan Sect, we wouldn't have to worry about disciples getting sick or injured, and he would also be very useful in dealing with the Five Poison Sect.

Yue Buqun thought: "Ping Yizhi's martial arts skills are much inferior to those of the white-haired boy Ren Wujiang. Even Ren Wujiang is not sure he can enter Qianqiu Palace, so Ping Yizhi certainly can't do it on his own. He will most likely call on the people in the martial arts world who owed him favors over the years to help him, and then I will be able to find him."

Shaoshi Mountain, Liantian Peak.

Two figures bypassed the Shaolin Temple under the Wuru Peak and went around the back mountain to the top of Liantian Peak.

Looking at Mount Shaoshi from the north and south, one can see a group of peaks overlapping each other, shaped like a thousand-petal lotus, hence the name "Nine-peaked Lotus Mountain".

Liantian Peak is located right where the lotus heart is. It is the highest peak of Shaoshi Mountain. It is high above and has the best scenery.

On the left side of the peak is a flat area, and on the south side there is a rocky wall standing.

The rocky walls of the mountain are full of potholes, but they are not naturally formed, but have obvious traces of human intervention.

The large sunken area on the far right is particularly eye-catching.

Among them, the new leader of Songshan Sect, Ding Mian, who was wearing a black robe, said, "Senior Brother Zuo, Fang Zheng and Linghu Chong were discussing scriptures and martial arts here before."

Zuo Lengchan walked forward, gently stroked the marks left on the stone wall, and carefully examined them one by one, looking thoughtful.

Ding Mian couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Zuo, what did you see?"

Zuo Lengchan pointed at the marks on the wall and said, "These two deep pits were left by finger force. If nothing goes wrong, it should be the Vajra Finger, one of the 72 Shaolin Kung Fu skills. These two slanted cuts with smooth edges and black burn marks are the Burning Wood Sword Technique, one of the 72 Shaolin Kung Fu skills. These two..."

Zuo Lengchan explained how the traces were formed from left to right, one by one, until he reached the last depression.

Before he opened his mouth, Ding Mian had already shouted, "Thousand-handed Tathagata Palm! This is the Thousand-handed Tathagata Palm that Master Fang Zheng is best at!"

Zuo Lengchan nodded and said, "Yes, it is the Thousand-Handed Tathagata Palm."

Ding Mian was incredulous and said, "Senior Brother Zuo, that rumor is actually true?! Linghu Chong only needs to watch someone else perform a martial art once to instantly learn how to use it?"

Zuo Lengchan shook his head and let out a long sigh: "It's not about learning it instantly and being able to use it, but about mastering it to perfection instantly." He drew the sword from his waist and slashed at the two finger holes in front of him.

His sword was a rare sharp weapon. After infusing it with internal force, it cut the hole in his finger like cutting tofu.

Ding Mian suddenly opened his eyes wide, his face full of horror.

These two finger holes looked no different from the outside, but when Zuo Lengchan cut them open with his sword, he found that the first finger hole was less than one foot deep, while for the second hole, Zuo Lengchan dug more than three feet into the stone wall, but still could not see the bottom.

Even though Zuo Lengchan had expected this, he was still shocked to see this situation.

The Songshan School also has finger-based martial arts. With his full strength, he could only penetrate half a foot of the stone wall at most. He was already much worse than Fang Zheng, and even less qualified to be compared with Linghu Chong. "Fang Zheng has practiced the Yi Jin Jing to perfection, and his internal strength is even better than mine. As for Linghu Chong... maybe it's really like what Yue Buqun said, that he is the reincarnation of a god, and has awakened his innate wisdom."

Zuo Lengchan had a complicated expression.

As early as the Five Mountains Sword Meeting, he knew that there was a huge gap between him and Linghu Chong, but it was not until this moment that he truly understood how big the gap was!
"Junior Brother Ding, the first finger shows how deep Linghu Chong's inner strength is. The ones that follow are truly terrifying."

Zuo Lengchan took a deep breath, collected his thoughts, and then pointed to the traces behind him and said, "These two Burning Wood Sword Techniques, these two Formless Tribulation Finger Techniques, and this Prajna Palm... Even if Fang Zheng himself were to do it, it would be difficult to do it exactly the same, but he did it."

Ding Mian swallowed hard and felt his scalp tingling.

This means that Shi Potian not only mastered the 72 Shaolin Kung Fu skills in an instant, but also completely saw through Fang Zheng. The latter is not easier than the former, and may even be more difficult.

Ding Mian said anxiously: "Brother, what should we do next? If Huashan Sect knows that we..."

"Know what?! We didn't do anything!"

Zuo Lengchan interrupted Ding Mian with a sharp voice and said in a deep voice: "After you go back, immediately have someone clean out all those dubious people. On the fifth day of May, we will give a great gift to Yue... Alliance Leader Yue."

at the same time.

Songshan, inside Shaolin Temple.

Fang Zheng also received a letter sent by the abbot of Nan Shaolin Temple in Putian. The content of the letter was exactly about Yue Buqun's secret investigation of Zen Master Hongye and Zen Master Duyuan.

Southern Shaolin has a huge influence in Fujian. Although Yue Buqun acted very carefully, he was still noticed by Southern Shaolin.

The person who delivered the letter was the favorite disciple of the abbot of Southern Shaolin Temple. After Fang Zheng finished reading the letter, he said, "Abbot, my master also asked me to bring a message."

Fang Zheng said calmly, "Go ahead."

The Southern Shaolin disciple said: "The head of Huashan Sect Yue is known as Buqun, but he likes to make friends with people from the underworld. He seems to be a bright and handsome man, and is known as the 'Gentleman Sword', but he may not be a true gentleman. He may judge people and things with bad intentions."

"My master is worried that Master Yue will misunderstand and doubt our Shaolin because of the matter of the Sunflower Manual. If any trouble arises from this, it will go against the last wish of Zen Master Hongye."

"My master asked the abbot whether he should come to Shaolin in person to explain the matter to Master Yue and clear up the misunderstanding."

Fang Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "No need for that. This matter happened more than sixty years ago, and the parties involved are no longer alive, so it is hard to explain. If Mr. Yue has a grudge against my Shaolin because of this matter, we monks should just give him some room. There is no need to argue with him about who is right or wrong."

The Southern Shaolin disciples were shocked and looked incredulous.

Others could not understand what Fang Zheng meant, but he did.

The reason why Shaolin Temple has been able to be passed down for more than a thousand years is, firstly, because of its profound cultural heritage, and secondly, because it knows how to judge the situation.

When they realize that the situation is irreversible, Shaolin will choose to close its gates and stay out of the world until the situation is reversed. It will then reopen the gates and send people down the mountain to help the world and save people.

From what Fang Zheng just said, it was obvious that he already had the idea of ​​​​retreating from the world.

One can choose to go to Shaolin and live in seclusion, mostly because one has encountered a great disaster and suffered a great loss of vitality. But now both the Northern and Southern Shaolin are at their peak. Why does Fang Zheng have such an idea?

Fang Zheng did not explain too much, only said: "When you go back, tell your master what I said. If he has any doubts, he can come to Songshan, and he will understand by then."
