Chapter 1343
Xiao Bing has been to Shaolin Temple once.
I remember the last time something big happened in Shaolin Temple. At that time, Xiao Bing was still surprised that there were many masters in Shaolin sect, but now Xiao Bing feels that it was probably the superficial inside story of Shaolin Temple, and the real inside story of Shaolin is definitely not so simple.
You know, Shaolin has been as famous as Kunlun since ancient times. This is still under the condition that Shaolin Temple doesn't care about the world. According to such a super sect, how can the masters in their sect be inferior to schools like iron fist sect and hundred sword sect?
At the beginning, the only thing that Xiao Bing felt that he couldn't see through was Abbot Zhiming of Shaolin. At that time, Xiao Bing's strength had broken through to the early days of Tianzun, but he had no resistance against Abbot Zhiming.
In Xiao Bing's view, abbot Zhiming's strength is either the peak of heaven, or even may have reached the legendary limit that human beings have the opportunity to reach, the realm of saints!
Xiao Bing asked Li Chaoyang and others to return to Beijing first, and then came to Shaolin by himself. When Xiao Bing came here, it was already late, and all the tourists had already left. Xiao Bing stood at the gate of Shaolin Temple and said in a respectful voice, "Xiao Bing from Jiangcheng came to visit the abbot!"
The sound startled the whole Shaolin Temple, and many people inside shouted, "Xiao Bing!"
"The man who came last time!"
"He's here again."
"I don't know what's going on this time."
"This person's strength is very strong."
"It seems that the abbot also attaches great importance to him."
At this time, the Abbot's voice full of vicissitudes suddenly came out: "benefactor Xiao, please come in!"
Xiao Bing said thank you, and then walked in. There were many people in the yard, some were young disciples, and some were slightly older. They all looked at Xiao Bing with curiosity, but just now everyone heard the Abbot's words, so no one came to stop Xiao Bing.
Xiao Bing had been to the Abbot's room once before, and this time he ran directly to the Abbot's residence.
When he came to the Abbot's room, Xiao Bing said respectfully, "Xiao Bing wants to see you."
"Please come in, benefactor Xiao Bing."
Xiao Bing walked over, pushed the door open, and stepped in. The white haired old monk in cassock sat on the wooden bed, pointed to the wooden chair next to him, and said, "please sit down, benefactor Xiao."
At this moment, looking at the white haired old monk, Xiao Bing still has an unfathomable feeling. He gives Xiao Bing the feeling of vicissitudes, withered and old, and with the details that are difficult to see clearly.
Xiao Bing sighed, "all people who practice martial arts are fighting each other and pursuing the highest level of martial arts, but it is the masters who truly achieve the highest level of martial arts who stand aloof from the world. The level of masters is admirable."
"The highest realm? What is the highest realm?" Abbot Zhiming smiled and said, "Benefactor, in fact, is a little persistent. If the world does not compete, how can martial arts be divided into high and low? If the world competes, a hundred years later, it is still a pile of bones and ashes, and what have we really won? Even if we look at the mythical Era, the heroes and demons in that era of heroes and goddesses have finally fallen one by one, and today, those ordinary people who live most in the world struggle, What's the point? "
Xiao Bing said, "actually, I came this time to learn about the Kunlun sect with you."
"Kunlun?" A startling light suddenly appeared in Abbot Zhiming's calm eyes. Xiao Bing immediately realized how different this Kunlun sect was. It is estimated that only Kunlun is the only place in the world that Abbot Zhiming can really show a different look.
Abbot Zhiming asked, "what do you want to know about them?"
Xiao Bing explained the current situation, Finally, he said, "these people of the ancient martial arts sect are different from those of Shaolin. They believe that they are powerful. Ordinary people are like mole ants to them. How can a person worry about the death or survival of mole ants? So for them, no matter whether it is a matter of human life or what, there is no concern at all. In their view, there is nothing wrong. In their eyes, the people themselves are mole ants."
Abbot Zhiming sighed, "so I say that martial arts is easy to make people become demons. Even if it is decent martial arts, it doesn't mean that they won't become demons. Becoming demons refers to people's nature of mind. These people's nature of mind has become demons. In their minds, martial arts represents the decisive factor of life and death."
Xiao Bing said: "Abbot Zhiming's words are really right. Their mind is magical. Although they claim to be famous and decent, it is because of their inheritance. But with the small number of people in ancient martial arts in the world, their position in martial arts is getting higher and higher. This high position has already stimulated their ambition and made them proud. This pride has made the people all over the world become ants in their eyes."
Abbot Zhiming said, "do you want to attack Kunlun?"
"Sooner or later." Xiao Bing said, "if they don't misbehave, of course I won't attack them, but I'm afraid that the Kunlun sect's ambition is too big. The people have lived and worked in peace and contentment for so many years, and they can't suffer any more, and they can't die any more!"
Abbot Zhiming looked at Xiao Bing and said, "I've seen that benefactor Xiao Bing is a pure person. Since you have a heart of salvation, I naturally know everything and say everything."
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "if you are willing to tell everyone the truth, it is best. I'm afraid that the matter involves the Kunlun sect, and you will have concerns."
Abbot Zhiming shook his head with a smile and said, "life is death, and death is life. I have always maintained my life, but is it to do something beneficial to the world? If I dare not do anything that is really beneficial to the world, what's the meaning of my life in this world?"
"What's more, I'm not necessarily afraid of Kunlun." Abbot Zhiming smiled.
Xiao Bing said, "I really haven't seen all the details of your temple."
Abbot Zhiming said, "sooner or later, I'll see it. I'd better talk to you about the Kunlun sect. I suggest you don't act rashly and don't tear your face with the Kunlun sect, but I think according to the Kunlun sect's style of action, they may have great ambition and plot."
Xiao Bing asked, "why do you think so?"
Abbot Zhiming said: "The Kunlun sect was founded in the Ming Dynasty. After its establishment, the martial arts talents in the sect emerged in endlessly, and its strength gradually became a giant sect in the Wulin. At the beginning, the Kunlun sect did not have much ambition, but by the late Ming Dynasty, the strength of the Ming Dynasty began to become weak, and the Kunlun sect began to show ambition. They wanted the imperial court to make them a national religion. After being rejected, they began to secretly corrupt officials and win over major schools Sect, hold the position of Wulin alliance leader firmly, and want to replace the imperial court. "
Xiao Bing said with a wry smile, "is that a dream?"
"It's really not easy. There are many masters in the court, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops in the court. How can a Wulin sect be subverted? Later, they changed their strategies, courted corrupt officials, and they controlled the whole Wulin. Masters in the sect emerged in endlessly, so although the Ming Dynasty still said that they were not canonized as a national religion, they were allowed to act casually."
"Later, in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, the Kunlun sect actively fought against the Qing Dynasty, because they didn't want to lose their current dominant position. Once the Ming dynasty fell, their position must be lost by virtue of the strength of the Qing Dynasty. Later, they realized that the strength of the Qing Dynasty was far beyond their ability to compete, so they began to shrink for self-protection. At that time, the most famous person who really fought against the Qing Dynasty should be Ming Tianshan old man is very angry. "
Xiao Bing sighed, "so future generations have great respect for Tianshan old man."
"Yes, later, in the Qing Dynasty, at the beginning, the Kunlun sect also moved around, trying to make them a national religion in the Qing Dynasty, because they enjoyed the feeling of supremacy, but they clearly knew that they were not expected to govern the world. The most important thing was that they could not control the army, and they did not have all kinds of resources, so their policy has always been to win over the forces in the court, or to try to win over the court It's a pity that the internal forces supporting them, whether in the Ming dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, were very wary of them, and they never succeeded, and their idea of becoming a national religion never came true. "
"Later, in the late Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty began to be seriously corrupt and weak. They began to take the opportunity to unify the Wulin forces with the intention of controlling the court. During the Cixi period, they finally supported a person they wanted to support in the court, Prince Gong!"
Xiao Bing said in surprise, "Prince Gong is supported by them?"
Abbot Zhiming sighed: "Yes, the Kunlun sect originally intended to support Prince Gong to ascend to the sky. Unfortunately, a person with more wrist and identity than Prince Gong came out of the palace, and even a woman. This woman is Empress Dowager Cixi. Cixi is very political, coupled with ambition, so she is not satisfied with hanging the curtain and listening to politics, so she colluded with Prince Gong and Kunlun sect, and Cixi also makes more use of Kunlun sect. In Xian After emperor Feng's death, with the secret support of the Kunlun sect, Cixi launched the Xinyou coup. Prince Gong, Cixi, and the Kunlun sect worked together to kill eight assistant ministers, including Zai yuan, Duanhua, and SUSHUN. From then on, the Empress Dowager Cixi began to dominate! "
"After that, Prince Gong was in power, and although the Kunlun sect didn't get what they wanted, Prince Gong didn't listen to them to seize the throne, but their status also rose. At that time, the Kunlun sect also existed sideways in the whole of China."
"Unfortunately, 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 crash during the boxer period, and the Kunlun sect was forced to keep a low profile."
"But later, the actions of the Kunlun sect never stopped. They have always tried to control the court, but unfortunately they have never been able to do so. Otherwise, why do you think they forced the closure of the mountain after the founding of new China?"
Xiao Bing sighed, "I really didn't expect these things to happen in history, and they haven't been recorded in history books."
"You don't know, but in those days, the reason why Kunlun was forced to close the mountain was still inseparable from our Shaolin Temple. We Shaolin never asked about the secular world, but at that time, we were invited by the first leader of new China and forced their major sects to close the mountain together with the state!"
