Ask Wudang Chapter 019

※

Hearing these words, everyone from Wudang, except for Ye Qingfeng, had a stern expression.

To exterminate an entire family at every turn, this style of action was completely demonic.

Zhang Sanfeng asked, “What is the name of that young master? Since he entrusted the escort, he must know the ins and outs?”

Du Dajin said, “Her surname is Yin, and her attitude is very arrogant. Although she is dressed as a man, I could tell she was a woman.”

Zhang Sanfeng then asked, “What did the group of people who took the escort at the foot of Wudang Mountain look like?”

Du Dajin said, “They were all dressed as Taoists. The leader looked very much like Grandmaster Song, probably disguised. ” As he spoke, he took out a gold ingot and handed it to Zhang Sanfeng, continuing, “Oh, and this gold ingot was his reward to me.”

Zhang Sanfeng took the gold ingot, looked at the fingerprints on it, and then said, “Can I keep this gold ingot?”

Du Dajin nodded and said, “Of course.”

Zhang Sanfeng then said, “You all go back first. I will make arrangements for your (Biao Ju/Escort Agency).”

Du Dajin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, bowed, and said, “Thank you, True Man Zhang. I’ll take my leave.”

With that, he turned and left with his escort guards and porters.

After the Longmen Escort Agency group left.

Song Yuanqiao asked, “Master, you kept that gold ingot. Is there some hidden secret within it?”

Zhang Sanfeng didn’t say much, handing him the gold ingot.

Song Yuanqiao took the gold ingot, observed it for a moment, and immediately his expression changed, saying, “What powerful finger strength! It’s the same martial art that broke Third Brother’s bones.” He then asked, “Master, in your opinion, what kind of martial art is this?”

Zhang Sanfeng said, “It’s Shaolin’s Great Vajra Finger.”

Everyone’s expression changed again upon hearing this.

Zhang Songxi said, “Although we have always had some friction with Shaolin, there haven’t been any major conflicts. Why would they do this?”

Ye Qingfeng suddenly interjected, “Fourth Brother, the person who injured Third Brother might not be from Shaolin Temple.”

Hearing this, everyone’s heart skipped a beat.

The Great Vajra Finger was a Shaolin ultimate technique, and it was also a secret that Shaolin did not transmit. Therefore, the person who injured Yu Daiyan must be from Shaolin Temple. However, Ye Qingfeng actually said that it might not be someone from Shaolin Temple, which immediately aroused everyone’s curiosity.

Zhang Sanfeng said, “Feng’er, if you have something to say, just say it.”

Ye Qingfeng pondered for a moment and said, “Master, I have fought with that person. His martial arts are indeed fierce and powerful, but precisely because they are too powerful, they lose the authentic flavor that true Shaolin martial arts should have, as if they lack a harmonizing mental cultivation method. So, I thought of someone, someone you once told me about, the Shaolin Fire Worker Monk from back then.”

He was raised by Zhang Sanfeng, and besides teaching him, Zhang Sanfeng also told him many secrets of the martial arts world.

Zhang Sanfeng had naturally told him about the Shaolin Fire Worker Monk, so it wasn’t surprising that he brought it up now.

Zhang Sanfeng’s eyebrows raised slightly, and he said, “Feng’er, are you saying that the person who injured Daiyan is related to the Fire Worker Monk?”

Ye Qingfeng nodded and said, “To be honest, when I went down the mountain this time, I encountered someone from Western Regions Shaolin as soon as I arrived in Jiangdu. This Western Regions Shaolin was founded by the Zen Master Ku Hui back then. I believe Master, you also know the purpose of Zen Master Ku Hui founding Western Regions Shaolin, which was precisely to search for that Fire Worker Monk. According to this person from Western Regions Shaolin, the Fire Worker Monk had already founded the Vajra Sect in the Western Regions and received strong support from the Yuan Dynasty court. Even the Western Regions Shaolin founded by Zen Master Ku Hui finds it difficult to contend with them.”

Of course, Ye Qingfeng hadn’t met anyone from Western Regions Shaolin. The reason he fabricated this benevolent lie was to introduce the Vajra Sect, so that he could legitimately go to the Western Regions to search for the Black Jade Healing Paste to treat Yu Daiyan.

Ye Qingfeng continued, “This person from Western Regions Shaolin also said that the Shaolin martial arts that the Fire Worker Monk secretly learned back then were incomplete. After Zen Master Ku Hui founded Western Regions Shaolin, the Fire Worker Monk set his sights on the authentic Shaolin martial arts that Zen Master Ku Hui brought with him. For many years, the Vajra Sect and Western Regions Shaolin have been constantly fighting. Because of the involvement of the imperial court, Western Regions Shaolin has been repeatedly defeated, so that person had no choice but to come to Central Plains Shaolin Temple for help. When He Zudao broke into Shaolin back then, people from Western Regions Shaolin also came to Shaolin Temple for help. Master, you should still remember that, right?”

Zhang Sanfeng nodded and said, “Indeed, those three people were Pan Tiangeng, Wei Tianwang, and Fang Tianlao, and they were of the same generation as Zen Master Tian Ming.”

Ye Qingfeng continued, “Therefore, I deduce that the person who injured Third Brother is most likely from the Vajra Sect. And their purpose in injuring Third Brother is, firstly, to seize the Dragon Slaying Saber, and secondly, probably to provoke a conflict between Wudang and Shaolin. The power behind the Vajra Sect is the Mongol Yuan imperial court. The imperial court has always regarded the various martial arts sects as thorns in their side. If Wudang and Shaolin fight, they would naturally be happy to see it happen.”

Upon hearing this, Song Yuanqiao and the others were greatly shaken, clearly having understood the crucial point.

Zhang Sanfeng also looked solemn, having no doubts about Ye Qingfeng’s words.

“Alas, I didn’t expect the imperial court to have laid such a grand chess game.”

With a light sigh, Zhang Sanfeng said again, “It seems the martial arts world will be troubled from now on.”

Ye Qingfeng added, “Master, regarding the martial arts world, we Wudang only need to respond calmly. Instead, Third Brother’s injury cannot be delayed any longer. The Vajra Sect has been passed down for over a hundred years, and despite the flaws in their inherited martial arts, there are still many experts in their sect. This shows that they possess some kind of secret medicine that can heal injuries and disabilities. Your disciple wishes to make a trip to the Western Regions to search for a miraculous medicine to treat Third Brother.”

Upon hearing this again, everyone was startled in unison, and at the same time, they understood.

Especially Zhang Sanfeng, he knew the methods of Shaolin martial arts best. If one practiced haphazardly when the mental cultivation method was incomplete, it would not only cause injuries to bones and muscles but also lead to a deficiency of qi and blood. However, the Vajra Sect had been passed down for over a hundred years and was still highly valued by the Yuan Dynasty court, which showed that the Vajra Sect still produced many experts. From this point, it could be inferred that the Vajra Sect possessed some kind of secret medicine that could compensate for injuries sustained during martial arts practice.

Thinking of this, Zhang Sanfeng immediately looked at Ye Qingfeng with admiration and said, “Feng’er, you are indeed meticulous in your thoughts, you have deduced all of this. However, that Vajra Sect is a dragon’s den and a tiger’s lair. If you go alone, I am truly worried. How about this, let your Eldest Brother and Fourth Brother accompany you on this trip. Whether or not you can obtain the secret medicine, just do your best.”

Ye Qingfeng, however, shook his head and said, “Master, I’d rather go alone. Eldest Brother and Fourth Brother have been famous for many years, and their targets are too big, making it difficult to act. Moreover, this disciple’s Pure Yang Limitless Skill has already reached perfection. How can a mere Vajra Sect possibly keep me?”

“Oh? Your Pure Yang Limitless Skill has reached perfection?”

Zhang Sanfeng was surprised and delighted upon hearing this, and immediately raised his hand, saying, “Come, come, let me examine it.”

Ye Qingfeng didn’t waste any time and raised his hand to meet his.

As soon as their hands met, Zhang Sanfeng immediately felt an incomparably pure Yang True Qi surge over, like waves, like a tide, continuous and endless. Although it was not as profound as his own, it was indeed complete and flawless. Feeling this, he was greatly relieved and stroked his beard, laughing, “Good, good, Feng’er, you truly have not disappointed your master’s expectations. You may go alone then.”
